  • 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:
    Job Execution Information

    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.

  • 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.

  • Excel output for the xml publisher report when it is [b]scheduled [/b]

    How to get the excel output for the xml publisher report when it is scheduled by a apps user? Like what is the user profile option (for the apps user who runs the report) and what are the other things that needs to be taken care of so that only this xml publisher report run by this apps user produces a EXCEL output (When scheduled) ???
    Really appreciate it if any one can help me in this regards.
    Thanks
    Munna

    Hi Munna,
    For eBusiness Suite (apps user) the report output is stored the same way whether executed immediately or scheduled.,To get excel set the options > output format to Excel. Only the user that submitted the report can view it, or you can get the output file from the server. Or you can set the notify option so that a Workflow Notification is sent when the request completes.

  • Report runs fine from CR 2008 Developer, but will not run once published

    I have BO RAS12 (version 12.3.0.601) installed on a Win2008 machine.  This is the "backbone" for a proprietary Reporting Suite for a Lawson ERP system.
    I have one report that takes awhile to generate due to the number of records and complex summaries and grouping.
    This report runs fine in the CR Developer on the server, but once I publish it and try to view with data refresh, it throws an 'Internal Server Error'.
    I don't think this is a timeout problem as it throws this error within 5 minutes of attempted generation.  To make matters worse, nothing is logged anywhere when it fails.
    I know that this doesn't give much to go on, but any ideas?

    i had the problem quite often, since i always forgot to tag the UI capabilities of my transaction.
    There are several problems with your transaction that COULD be the reason.
    Make sure the gui for windows is tagged.
    Then, if first what you show is a selection screen, make sure the transaction type is the right one "reporttransaction (Programm and selection screen)".

  • How run the run the BI Publisher report for current/active/selected record

    Hi,
    I have one requirement to generate a BI Publisher report in Siebel, which will run on SR's List view. Report should fetch the active SR and its audit trial entities. I know this was achieved easily using Actuate (simply setting "current Recrod only" to true), but I need how to achieve this in BI publisher.
    This report we are creating is in Siebel-BI Publisher integrated environment, not connecting to database. Can body give share your valuble inputs.
    Thanks,
    Ravi

    In my experience with Siebel 8.1.1 and BI Publisher 10.1.3.4.0 when you generate a report from a Siebel View the report will show all data visible on the view. If you wish to have only a few particular records in the report you must query for them first in Siebel then generate the report again. There is useful article describing how to generate the report for the current record but it does require some config on the applet.

  • When running an xml publisher report the xml output leads to 9 mb and the excel output file leads to 20 mb.But the output records is originally 4000 records. When copy to new excel it is showing 3.5 mb only. Does anyone knows the answer for this issue?

    When running an xml publisher report the xml output leads to 9 mb and the excel output file leads to 20 mb. The records contained in excel file is 4000 records. When taking the excel records and copy to new excel file the excel file size is 3.5 mb only.Why does the oracle software generates 20mb file?
    Does any one knows the answer please advice?

    Hello,
    This issue is because the Excel output from BI Publisher is MHTML (XML Publisher generates XHTML) not binary .xls.
    MHTML and XHTML are more verbose formats than binary .xls.
    It will be large because the current Excel output is just an HTML and not compressed like PDF. Please use the workaround (save it as .xls file).  This is a known limitation of RTF layout templates.
    BI Publisher Enterprise has a new feature True Excel Templates. The layouts generate binary Excel output.
    Excel Output File Size Generated By BI Publisher is Very Large (Doc ID 760437.1)

  • 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.

  • Different scenario to run Former XML Publisher report

    Hi All.
    I have some different kind of scenario to run the XML Publisher report. Please look into the following scenario and requirements:
    In my current project we are implementing 22 languages like Chinese, Japanese, Spanish etc. Out of these 22 languages, 8 languages will be installed and 14 will be uninstalled. We are defining the language on 2 places: OU level and Address level. For those reports that need to be translated, we are using XML Publisher to achieve this, but we have different scenario to pass the language, in order to select the corresponding template.
    Scenario: As i mentioned we are defining the languages on address level, it is considered that the language defined at the address level will be customer's preferred language and he would like to see the output in that language only. there are 2 possible conditions while running the report: 1. User may select the language in which he want the report to be displayed in. 2. User may not select any language. The 1st scenario can be fulfilled by standard functionality. but in case of second scenario when user does not select any language then we need to display the report in language defined on address level for that customer. For Ex: if the Invoice report is running for 4 invoices and have 2 different customers and their preferred language is different, suppose for 1 customer it is Chinese and for another one it is Japanese. Then we need to display the output in customer's preferred language only i.e for Japanese customer it should be in Japanese and for Chinese customer it should be in Chinese i.e 2 different templates will be applicable.
    So as per this while submitting the concurrent request we need to check whether user has selected the language or not? And after making all the conditions check we will have to submit the xml publisher report using API. Do you have any suggestion how can we achieve this task?
    Please suggest.
    Thanks,
    AS

    Hi AS,
    How about using a conc prog parameter for User selected language, and XML element data at customer level, then call a subtemplate (or multiple embedded regions in the same template) in the required language based on if or case logic in the template.
    Regards,
    Gareth

  • Run XML Publisher Report  via URL (like Oracle Reports)

    Hi All,
    Is it possible to run xml-publisher report via URL?
    In Oracle Reports works this fine:
    http://test:7777/reports/rwservlet?server=test_bihome1&report=test1.rdf&userid=test/testv@db&desformat=pdf&destype=cache
    We need this for public reports without user login.
    Thanks
    Thomas

    Thomas,
    I was waiting to get home before Tim replied... He got the better of me this time :-)
    You say you want to let your users run reports using XMLP just by clicking on an URL same way you do with reports and without having to login. If I got the question right and assuming that:
    1.Your company is not overly concerned on who runs what reports
    2.Who sees what data
    3.Your XMLP installation is on your intranet and firewalled from the outside
    What you can do is:
    On the main page of your XMLP Enterprise installation you should see a folder called "Guest". Any report you create under this folder is run as user "guest" which means you don't have to authenticate yourself as you would normally do.
    I have tested this on my home server and this is what I've done:
    1.Logged in as admin or any other user you've created with admin privileges created a report under the "Guest" folder.
    2.Copied the URL, on my server it is "http://samba.private.net:15101/xmlpserver/Guest/People/People.xdo"
    4.Logged off as admin and pasted the URL to a new browser window
    5.Hit return and Voila, my report runs without the need to login to XMLP.
    Hope this helps. Let us know how you got on.
    Cheers,
    Joao
    PS: If you want to see the report for yourself here's the URL from the outside: http://medeiros.homelinux.net:15101/xmlpserver/Guest/People/People.xdo
    I'll keep the link alive for a couple of days.

  • Run BI Publisher report from an application directly to  a printer.

    Dear All,
    I have an HTML page (with JavaScripts),
    I want to Run BI Publisher report from this page directly to a printer. (and send parameters).
    Can anyone help me, and send me Demo URL or Demo code to do this?
    Regards,
    Tovit

    Tovit
    you are going to have build out a servlet that the page can call. The servlet will need to implement the supported web services to schedule a report. The schedule can include the delivery options ie to a printer. So you would create a schedule that runs the report immediately via the scheduler and then to the printer.
    I dont currently have any servlet demos but the services are pretty well covered in the user docs.
    check them out and give it a try, if you get stuck let me know
    Tim
