BI Publisher Report Issue in 11G(HTML format)/ OBIEE 11.1.1.7 version

Hi All,
I have migrated reports from 10g to 11g. Issue i am facing is that "reports open in HTML format by default & reports alignment has been distorted in 11g".
Also if i change the format to PDF ,its working fine.
I am not able to figure it out where exactly the issue lies as all the parameters,layout & query are fine.
Thanks.

XML Publisher report default output in Excel format.

Hi,
We have defined one concurrent program whose output format is text, this concurrent program executable is PL/SQL and in this PL/SQL program we are generating XML data and displaying XML using below fnd_request.
l_conc_id := FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST('GMP','GMPPDROP','', '',FALSE,
p_sequence_num,chr(0),'','','','','','','','','','','',
We have also defined template for this.
Using below fnd_request we are choosing template and data is getting generated in PDF format. Now our requirement is to display the output by default in Excel format.
FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST('XDO','XDOREPPB','', '',FALSE,'',
l_conc_id,554,G_comb_pdr_temp,
G_comb_pdr_locale,'Y','RTF','',scale_report,'','','','','',
When i saw XML Report Publisher concurrent program, there is one parameter for Output Format and i tried passing 'Excel'/EXCEL/excel to this parameter but output is still coming in PDF format.
FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST('XDO','XDOREPPB','', '',FALSE,'',
l_conc_id,554,G_comb_pdr_temp,
G_comb_pdr_locale,'Y','RTF','Excel',scale_report,'','','','','',
I have also tried giving Default Output to EXCEL in template definition but this is also not working.
Your valuable suggestions highly appreciated.
Thanks

When calling report in forms, only html format can show chinese characters

To all experts,
When I run report by calling run_report_object() in forms, only html format can show chinese characters. If I choose pdf format, garbage characters were shown instead of chinese characters. My settings on server are as follows:
NLS_LANG=TRADITIONAL CHINESE_HONG KONG.UTF8
FORMS60_REPFORMAT=PDF
Do you know why? I hope to print report in PDF format as PDF turned out to be more regular in format. Is there any additional settings required?
May experts here broaden my mind?
Richard

Assuming that you are using version 6i, try using Oracle9i Reports it has support for multi-byte in PDF.
By the way, Reports questions will get better response if you send them on the reports forum.

You have two different ways of generating Japanese PDF files from Reoprts. One is font aliasing and the other is font subsetting.
<font aliasing>
You will need to have the following entries in uiprint.txt (example).
[ PDF ]
.....JA16SJIS = "KozMinPro-Regular-Acro"
"MS UI Gothic".....JA16SJIS = "KozMinPro-Regular-Acro"
You may need to download and install Japanese Font Pack from Adobe's web site (if your Acrobat is non-Japanese version).
<font subsetting>
You will need to add C:\WINNT\Fonts (or wherever your TTF/TTC fonts are installed) to your REPORTS_PATH.
You will also need to have the following entries in uiprint.txt (example).
[ PDF:Subset ]
"Andale Duospace WT J" = "Aduoj.ttf"
"Albany WT J"="AlbanWTJ.ttf"
"MS UI Gothic" = "msgothic.ttc"

APEX Database Configuration re XML / BI Publisher report issue

Greetings,
I have a problem that would be considered database related.
I am attempting to implement the APEX REPORTS functionality.
The process currently breaks for me when I have over 45 columns in an XML output in the APEX Reports framework. When I say BREAK, this is a very soft break. It just does not return any XML. The system eventually returns “no response” and then continues normally.
Looking closer at the DB, I will see the session hanging on, and not completing with very little information. These sessions will stay active for a very long time… possibly indefinitely. They are running as “APEX_PUBLIC_USER”.
The “current statement” shows as follows…
BEGIN
   DECLARE
      l_bind_values   wwv_flow_global.vc_arr2;
      i               NUMBER                  := 0;
   BEGIN
      FOR c1 IN (SELECT c001, c002
                   FROM wwv_flow_collections
                  WHERE collection_name = 'SET_BIND_VALUES')
      LOOP
         i := i + 1;
         l_bind_values (i) := c1.c002;
      END LOOP;
      FOR c2 IN (SELECT owner
                   FROM wwv_flows
                  WHERE ID = :fb_flow_id)
      LOOP
         wwv_flow_render_query.print_shared_query
                                     (p_flow_id            => :fb_flow_id,
                                      p_format             => 'XML',
                                      p_xml_structure      => :p1112_xml_structure,
                                      p_query_text         => :p1110_query,
                                      p_query_name         => :p1110_name,
                                      p_query_owner        => c2.owner,
                                      p_items              => :p1111_items,
                                      p_values             => l_bind_values
      END LOOP;
   END;
END;I have tested this on APEX.ORACLE.COM and I am un-able to reproduce the same issue. It runs fine. This leads me to believe that I have a database setup issue. The problem is that I don’t know where or how to discover.
Steps (for me) to reproduce:
1- Create a REPORT QUERY which has a fair number of columns (say 50 – 60)
2- Go through the wizard steps and finish
3- Review the Query – Option n the right (under tasks) – click on “Export Report as XML”
Result = session hangs creating a DB session which does not complete.
Footprint:
Application Express: 3.0.1.00.08
Database: 10.2.0.1.0
Connecting via a DAD connector from Oracle Application Server
BI Publisher connection
Suggestions are welcome.
Many Thanks.
--Tim

Just for the off chance that someone else runs into this, I am going to try to brief my findings on the subject related to this issue...
Previously, in the 3.0.1 version of APEX, our system would generate an OS process which would not terminate. Now in 3.1, it seems as though there is an error that is generated when this issue comes into play. I can, when attempting to get the sample XML from the REPORTS definition screen, generate this output when using the DOWNLOAD button:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
SUMMARY
TO RECREATE:
1- CREATE a report with a lot of "columns wide" (about 50).
2- Create a report using the GENERIC LAYOUT setting for REPORT LAYOUT
3- RUN or get XML by using the DOWNLOAD or TEST REPORT buttons from the designer page Report Queries>Edit Report Query
ISSUE: The generic layout has an issue in the code with size....
PROBLEM: When creating a new report - XML is not available in order to create the required layout. Without a layout, XML will not generate. Standard chicken and egg syndrome.
WORKAROUND: Create a DUMMY layout and assign it to the QUERY so that the proper XML output can be created.

Bi publisher report issues with selecting multiple parameters.

Hi there I have a Bi publisher report when I query it for a single parameter it works fine and gives me the result.
But when I select multiple parameters Lets say I have selected 3 parameters and try to view the results it does nt give me a proper report. It leaves me some blanks and gives me negative values.
The report is working finr for one parameter In order to select two parameters I added the following code in the sql query
and ( coalesce(null, :JOB_ID) is null
or c.JOB_ID in (:JOB_ID)) .
Can some one please let me know if this is correct or should I have to add anything else in the query.
Even if I hard code it by saying JOB ID IN ('x','y','Z') and try to run the report it is not giving me exact values.
BUt when I run the same query in database am getting correct values..
Can anyone help me with this issue please??
Thanks

1. What version of BIP are you using?
2. Can you please paste here your complete SQL data model?
3. Can you get us an example how this will work?
4. Can you be more specific about the error you get and the output?
thanks

Dear All,
I have a problem about BW publish report .
Our customer has three BI systems (PRD, QAS, DEV) and three BOE system (XIR3.1).
Those systems are installed on HP-UX.
BOE QAS and DEV system used Tomcat, BOE PRD system deployed on SAP WAS.
SAP QAS and DEV system can publish crystal report to each BOE system.
But SAP PRD can not publish with error
u201C0000000001 An error occured when retrieving the role metadata for ZBIROLE001. Returned with RFC code 18 and message: See RFC trace file or SAP system log for more details. u201D

I test RFC connection with SM59 and test RFC destinations in /crystal/rptadm successfully.
I also compared the RFC settings and User role between SAP DEV system and PRD system. But I did not any find difference.
This role had been imported in to BOE system and the SAP user has administrator rights .
Is there anyone can give me some advice for next step?
Thanks in advance!
Wayne

Hi Ingo,
- are you using the BW publishing service or the SAP gateway ?
Customer used BW publishing service.
- does SM59 work properly ?
Yes, SM59 works well.
- did you create a trace file for the publishing already ? If not - create it and attach it do the forum.
I am not sure which trace do I need. Could you tell me the details?
Thanks a lot!

Launch a BI Publisher Report from ODI 11g

Hello,
I have a requirement where after a data load completes in ODI, a BI Publisher report should be launched which will email some pdf output to users.
Is there a way in ODI that as the last step in the data load process, I can launch a BI Publisher report? We are using OBIEE and BI Publisher is part of that.
Any pointers appreciated.
Thanks,
Manish

Hi Manish,
Sorry not been on here for a while.
In ODI you can create an ODI Package which exposes a bunch of 'ODITools' , one of these being the aforementioned ODIInvokeWebService - you just plug in your parameters and it fires the message across - See docs here : http://docs.oracle.com/middleware/1212/odi/ODIDG/app_tools.htm#ODIDG858
Once the package is working, you can create a scenario of this package in ODI. Once you have the scenario than you can invoke this from ODI directly or from the command line, or on a schedule, or even via Webservices (but I'd assume you'd just invoke BIP directly in this case !)
Good luck.

XML Publisher Report Issues

Hi,
We have customized a report (XML Publisher) in which our template is in XSL format.When using this stylesheet (.XSL) to print out PO's, there are some problems with the page layout, more specifically regarding the page breaks:
1) Extra empty page is printed - can this be avoided?
2) If the entire line block does not fit on the page, the line should be completely shifted to the next page (called "widow and orfan control" in MS Word) ?
How to avoid these issues? Replies will be appreciated.
Thanks,

Mac Mail 3 html formatting issues

I have some people I've been working with who recently upgraded to Mac Mail 3 and since a quarantine report they receive about email that was filtered no longer displays correctly. It displays correctly for anyone using anything other than Mac Mail 3 but for them, the first line of the report looks fine but everything after that looks way oversized. The report comes in an html format. Does anyone know of any issues with Mac Mail 3 displaying html formatted emails correctly and if there are any fixes for it?
Thanks

Hi 2point5,
THX for help, but that didn't help me. Maybe I didn't describe my Point exactly.
I receive a email, which have two alternative contents. One is HTML-content and the other is the TXT-content.
When I receive the email with 10.4.11, mail.app offer me the second alternative view (View->Message->Plain Text Alternative (AltAppleP) ) So I can see the TXT version of the mail.
In mail.app 3.5 (Leo) the point is grayed out, like as there is no txt version of the mail. (Same mail…)

Send report in HTML format not in MHTML

Hi all,
I need to send report in email in HTML format not in MHTML format.
Kindly help me.
Thanks

Hello,
As far as I know, we cannot change the rsreportserver.config file to achieve this effect.
In SSRS, the HTML rendering extension renders a report in HTML format. The HTML rendering extension is the default rendering extension for reports that are previewed in Report Builder and viewed in a browser, including when run in Report Manager.
There is an article about Rendering to HTML, you can refer to it.

Call BI Publisher Report in APEX, based on R.T.F Template Layout.

Hi to all respected members of this forum.
Since 18th May (Saturday), I am trying to connect BI Publisher Reports with Oracle Application Express 4.2.2.
My APEX Version = APEX 4.2.2
Oracle BI Publisher Enterprise Edition (Trial) = 11.1.1.6.0
Oracle BI Publisher Desktop 32 Bit = 11.117.0.79
For this purpose what I did?
Firstly I downloaded Oracle BI Publisher Enterprise Edition 11.7 and when I started Installation I came to know that "R.C.U (Repository Creation Utility)" is required during installation and I don't have that so, left this idea.
Than I downloaded Oracle BI Publisher Enterprise Edition (Trial) from www.oracle.com and BI Publisher Desktop Edition for Templates because there is no facility in BI Publisher Trial Edition to design Report Templates. I have installed both successfully and created a report as per my requirement.
Now, I want to call that report in Oracle APEX but I am unable to do that.
I followed http://dgielis.blogspot.de/2007/12/call-bi-publisher-report-from-apex.html but the link which is shown in picture no: 03, is not available, so this didn't help me.
Then, I followed Oracle BI Publisher Blog https://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/entry/apex_users_why_not_integrate_w which discuss to call BI Publisher Report in APEX based on "Generic Report Layout". This done successfully but still I am unable to call BI Publisher Report .
Then I found this type of script
http://localhost/xmlpserver/Guest/Reporting_Channel.xdo&id=FGFC&password=****&xt=Reporting_Channel&xf=pdf
to call BI Publisher Report in APEX but this also failed.
Please help me to understand that how to call "BI Publisher Report in APEX, based on R.T.F Template Layout.
Thanks in Advance.

Are you trying to have multiple sql queries and have multiple sections displaying different data sets ? Or with one single query but display it in different ways in a single report ?
You can create one single query as Report Query in APEX and associate it with a BIP report layout. So you can achieve a Dashboard layout with the report query/layout.
