BI Publisher report bursting problem

I am not able to make my report burst to separate files for ftp delivery. I am running BI Publisher version 10.1.3.4.1 (stand-alone). My data query looks like this:
select a.agency_id, b.borr_name
from agency_tbl a, borr_tbl b
where a.rpt_date >= 20100101 and a.rpt_date <= 20100110
and a.borr_id = b.borr_id
and a.agency_id in (80013,80019)
order by a.agency_id, b.borr_name
My bursting/delivery query looks like this:
select agency_id "KEY",
'mytemplate' as TEMPLATE,
'RTF' TEMPLATE_FORMAT,
'en-US' LOCALE,
'PDF' OUTPUT_FORMAT,
'FTP' DEL_CHANNEL,
'myserver' PARAMETER1,
'myid' PARAMETER2,
'mypwd' PARAMETER3,
'/home1/web-docs-443/files/pdffiles' PARAMETER4,
convert(varchar,agency_id) || '.pdf' PARAMETER5
from agency_tbl
where agency_id in (80013,80019)
and rpt_date >= 20100101 and rpt_date <= 20100110
(I have to put "KEY" in quotes because my database is sybase, and KEY is a reserved word.)
I have verified that both queries return data (6 records each, no null agency_id keys).
The goal is to create a file for each agency that lists their associated borrowers.
I can view the report without problems. But when I schedule the report and enable bursting, I get the "Job was failed" email notification, and the report history shows this:

Any help will be greatly appreciated. This has me stumped . . . I am out of ideas.

What caused our bursting problem:
We had to put the word "KEY" in quotes (in our bursting query), because KEY is a reserved word in sybase. But putting it in quotes caused a problem - the results of the bursting query did not contain a "KEY" tag.
. . . And the solution:
We added the connection property "GET_COLUMN_LABEL_FOR_NAME=true" to our sybase datasource definition. Many thanks to Tim Dexter, and to Paul from the sybase forums (http://newsgroupstats.info/article/forums.sybase.com/sybase.public.jconnect/2308/Column-aliases-not-working.html) c. 2007.
And thanks again to Jorge for the helpful suggestion.

  • FO processing for XML Publisher Report Bursting Program

    Hello,
    I am facing the following problem: if i try to burst a report using XML Publisher Report Bursting Program special characters like (ş,ţ,ă, etc.) in the resulting PDF look strange. I have tried running the report without bursting it and the characters appear just fine (after i've set the FO Processing Font Mapping). My guess is that XML Publisher Report Bursting Program is not using the right font mapping. Have you faced this problem before? Do you have any idea how to set the right font mapping for XML Publisher Report Bursting Program.
    Thank you.

    So the answer was to make sure the location in the bursting file (location="xdo://schema.template_code.en.US) exactly matches the language/country setting in the uploaded Definition. Then make sure the fonts have been added to the xdo.cfg file matching what your Font Mappings are:
    <font family="Cambria" style="normal" weight="normal">
    <truetype path="/app/erp1/applmgr/apps/tech_st/10.1.3/appsutil/jdk/jre/lib/fonts/CAMBRIA.TTC" />
    </font>
    <font family="Cambria" style="normal" weight="bold">
    <truetype path="/app/erp1/applmgr/apps/tech_st/10.1.3/appsutil/jdk/jre/lib/fonts/CAMBRIAB.TTF" />

  • Utilizing XML Publisher Report Bursting Program user-variables

    When running the XML Publisher Report Bursting Program against a bursting control file, I see the following in the log:
    Bursting propertes.....
    {user-variable:cp:territory=US, user-variable:cp:ReportRequestID=4413342, user-variable:cp:language=en, user-variable:cp:responsibility=20678, user-variable.OA_MEDIA=http://hostname:8000/OA_MEDIA, burstng-source=EBS, user-variable:cp:DebugFlag=N, user-variable:cp:parent_request_id=4413342, user-variable:cp:locale=en-US, user-variable:cp:user=USER, user-variable:cp:application_short_name=XDO, user-variable:cp:request_id=4413368, user-variable:cp:org_id=204, user-variable:cp:reportdescription=Report Name, user-variable:cp:Dummy for Data Security=Y}
    I would like to reference one or more of these in
    1. My bursting control file
    2. My template (to be output in final PDF).
    I cannot seem to get this to work in my bursting control file by referencing:
    ${cp:user} (note that it just returns the word 'null' here instead of the value)
    nor can I get it to work in my RTF template by referencing:
    <?xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX, ‘cp:user’)?>
    Should this work, or I am missing something?
    Thanks

    Thanks Ike, it likely would. The thing I keep coming back to is an example in the BIP Developer's Guide that suggests you can set a property and have it made available:
    DocumentProcessor dp = new DocumentProcessor (cfgFile, xmlFile, dir);
    Properties prop= new Properties();
    prop.put("user-variable:ADMIN_EMAIL","[email protected]");
    dp.setConfig(prop);
    dp.process()
    Seems to me that the work going on behind the scenes here (based on log statements alone) suggest the same sort of integration.. but I suppose not.
    Thanks

  • BI Publisher Report generation problem in Siebel

    Hi Experts,
    Here is the scenario, let's say i have 2 BIP reports in siebel, named Report A and Report B. i tried using 1500 records to generate Report A and Report B. I view the status of the reports in My BI Publisher View in Siebel, i noticed that after 5 hours, Report A is successfully generated, and report B still doesn't show if it successful or not, after 2 days, report B still doesn't show if it is successful or not.
    Based on the scenario above, here are my questions:
    a.) is there a way that we can increase the report generation for BI Publisher integrated with Siebel? 5 hrs of generating 1500 records i think is too slow, specially if that specific report is required to be generated everyday.
    b.) do you know why Report B still doesn't show if it successfully generated eventhough both reports was generated using equal amount of records?
    Thanks in advance! :)

    Here are the two steps I took to get the VI to work on my machine:
    1) Recompiled the code by ctrl-shift-clicking on the run arrow.
    2) Changed the string in the 3rd frame of the sequence that goes into the Append Front Panel Image to Report from I Graph plot.vi to I_Graph_plot.vi.
    After making the changes I did a File->Save All.

  • Sorting Problem in XML Publisher Report

    Dear Members,
    I am facing problems with sorting data in my XML Publisher Report.
    We are using Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1 Version and i developed a rtf Template and executable is an RDF which generates XML Data.
    I want the whole report to group by element ITEM_NAME which is a character in the ascending order. I tried several ways but it is not working properly.
    I don't know how to upload the RTF template in this forum. I tried to post the XML Code and since its excceds 30000 characters i cant post it in the forum.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Sandeep

    You can't upload the template here; you can post a part of the relevant XML code and template code here.
    or send me a sample XML and RTF template to [email protected] and I will take a look.
