Xml report output in excel format without using options tab in EBS

How to get xml publisher report output in excel format without using options tab in EBS?
I am getting XML Publisher report output in excel format by using options tab while submitting the concurrent request .
But i want to get excel output automatically.
Can anyone give idea to get XML publisher Report output in excel without selecting options tab.
Thanks in advance
Sandeep V

Hey Sandeep,
I am working on a similar format for a report and if possible can you please give me some guidelines. I have initially created reports using XML Publisher, but for those , the output preview format was PDF. So, if I select the preview format as EXCEL will it give me output in Excel and for this to happen, how do I define the rtf template. I believe the working will be same as for PDF, create a rdf report, get output in XML and apply the template to get the data in Excel or there is something different to this.
Thanks,
Sunil

Printing report output in PDF format

Hi,
I want to know what are the settings needed to print a report output in PDF format, while executing the report from Oracle applications (Ver 11.5.6).
Report is executed as a concurrent request from Oracle applications.
Normally when we run the report from Oracle applications, output will be opened in a internet browser(IE) in HTML format. But I want the output to be opened in PDF format instead of HTML.
OS: Sun Solaris 2.8.
Thanks & Regards,
Sarish

Hi Sarish
Please contact Oracle Support for an answer or to customise your application so that it prints a report output in PDF Format.
To get PDF output you must run report/job with DESFORMAT=PDF in the command line instead of DESFORMAT=HTML/HTMLCSS.

Report output in XML format

Is it possible to save (or export) report output in XML format, it is ok with either WebI or DeskI report, here we are concerned about output format not what type of report we can use to produce the output in XML format.
Thank you,
Srini

Hi Srinivas,
Only options available in WEBI or DESKI is to save documents in Excel or PDF format.
As a workaround you can use Excel as an intermediate between your WEBI or DESKI document to XML format.
When you try to save WEBI document in XML Data format you may get following Error because the Excel sheet does not contain any XML format that requires.
u201CCan Not save XML data because the workbook does not contain any XML mappingsu201D
Solution:
1. Excel cannot save all or part of your workbook as XML Data if you have not created one or more mapped ranges.
2. If you haven't added an XML map to your workbook, or your data is not contained within an XML list, then you can save your workbook in the XML Spreadsheet file format.
If you have added an XML map to your workbook, follow these steps to map XML elements to your worksheet:
1. On the Data menu, point to XML, and then click XML Source to open the XML Source task pane.
2. To map one or more elements to your worksheet, select the elements in the XML Source task pane. To select nonadjacent elements, click one element, and then hold down CTRL and click each element.
3. Drag the selected elements to the worksheet location where you want them to appear.
I Hope this helps to find the path of solution with Ease.
Thanks...

How to retrieve complete report output in HTML format

Hi,
I'm looking for how to retrieve complete report output in HTML format.
I have tried the following and it only give me first page of the report output where in the actual report output should be 5 pages. Is there something I'm missing.
CallbackOption[] boCallOpt = new CallbackOption[1];
ImageManagement boImgMan = new ImageManagement();
boImgMan.setCallbackScript("getImage.jsp");
boImgMan.setImageManagementHolder("imageName");
boImgMan.setDocumentReferenceHolder("docRef");
boCallOpt[0] = boImgMan;
RetrieveData oRetrieveData = new RetrieveData();
RetrieveView oRetrieveView = new RetrieveView();
oRetrieveView.setCallbackOption(boCallOpt);
oRetrieveData.setRetrieveView(oRetrieveView);
Action[] oActions;
oActions = new Action[1];
oActions[0] = fillPrompts;
oReportEngine.getDocumentInformation(boDocInfo.getDocumentReference(), null, oActions, null,oRetrieveData);
Testing this on BOE XI 3.0
Thanks,

For Web Intelligence, HTML is an interactive viewing format and not an export format such as PDF.
Note that the HTML will be embedded with postback URLs to the application for images and drill downs.
Closest you'd get is to be able to specify HTML output of an entire REPORT rather than REPORT_PAGE in the ViewSupport.setViewMode method. But this brings back just one report in the document, and will have postback URLs mentioned above.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

How to open Report output in RTF format using concurrent request form.

Hi
I have created a report using BI publisher and RTF format. This report is working fine in PDF format. User can submit report using consurrent request form and can see report preview in PDF format.
Now user wants to submit another request and wants to see report output in RTF format.
User submitted a request, request successfully completed and generated a output RTF file in unix box but when user wants to see report output using concurrent request form (View Output) then window is showing raw data instead of RTF output.
Can any body tell me about solutions?
Thanks
Ravi

Hi Ravi
I did little R&D on it and found following 2 solutions.I am sure that you also find something but for my shake i am putting it here.If you already find the solution then ignore it.
I) 1st Solution
1)Change the profiles 'Viewer: Application for Text' and put value as 'Browser'
2) Change the profiles 'Viewer: Text' and put value as 'Browser'.Either change it system level or concerned user.
3) Log out from Current session and close all internet explorer application.
4) Log in again to check the result
II) 2nd Solution
1) Navigate to: Sys admin --> Install -> Viewer Options to open the Form "Viewer Options".
Do the entry as shown below:
File_Format     Mime Type               Description
RTF          application/rtf Microsoft Word(.rtf)
RTF          application/msword          Microsoft Word(.rtf)
2) Then ensure that the profile option Viewer: Application for Text is set to BLANK at the Site Level and User Level.
3) Then ensure that the profile option Viewer: Text is set to 'browser' at the Site Level.
-- It will pop-up the screen to choose application name from above two values.
Hope this will work it for you. For me i replicated the scenario and both solutions were working for me.
With Best Regards

Displaying the report output in excel format

Please help me in getting the report output in excel format.
thnks

I ran into a BIG problem after passing from 6i rep server to 9i rep server.
On 6i rep server I used to set DESFORMAT='DELIMITED', and that produced reasonable tab-delimited output for reports that did not have group above (all the query groups were from left to right, not a single group having fields displayed above some other group). When deployed on rep server 9i, the same reports produced some unexplainable output: some of the rows were duplicated, but I couldn't figure out any rule.
So, the best thing to get the reports into something that fits in .xls would be to have the output in .xml, that may be imported in Excel.

Display Report output in Matrix format

Hi
I want to display normal report output in somewhat this manner.
I will have one change requrest number and many transport requests will be assigned to that change request number, and to the transport requests many objects will be assigned.
I have to display the output in this format:
Change Request 1 |   Tr No.1 | Tr No.2 | Tr No.1 | and so on....
Obj1
Obj2
Obj3
Change Request 1 |   Tr No.1 | Tr No.2 | Tr No.1 | and so on....
Obj1
Obj2
Obj3
Like this it should go on.
I have done the coding part, how to display the data in the above format i am not getting any idea, please help me out if you have any ideas.
Thanks & Regards
Haritha.

Hi Vijay,
First of all thank you for the response.
I am retrieving the data from different tables and putting all the data in one internal table called i_final. Below is the declaration of that internal table and how i have populated the data to that. I am using control break statements to display the data but the data is coming in the next line.
Please see the final internal table:
1. Declaration:
Data:Begin of i_final occurs 0,
       ccsnr like ysts-ccsnr,
       trkorr like ysts-trkorr,
       obj_name like e071-obj_name,
       check_box(1),
       status LIKE YSCS-STATUS,
      End of i_final.
2. Populating different internal tables data to this table:
loop at i_ccno.
    i_final-ccsnr = i_ccno-ccsnr.
    i_final-trkorr = i_ccno-trkorr.
    read table i_status with key trkorr = i_ccno-trkorr.
    if sy-subrc = 0.
      i_final-status = i_status-status.
    endif.
    read table i_obj_name with key trkorr = i_ccno-trkorr.
    if sy-subrc = 0.
      i_final-obj_name = i_obj_name-obj_name.
    endif.
    append i_final.
    clear i_final.
endloop.
3. Using Control break statements to display the data.
sort i_final by ccsnr.
loop at i_final.
     at new ccsnr.
       write:/2 i_final-ccsnr.
     endat.
       write:20 i_final-trkorr.
       uline.
endloop.
But the output is coming like this:
CHG0003785 HSDK933109
                      HSDK933111
                      HSDK933113
                      HSDK933143
                      HSDK933268
But i want the output like this:
CHG0003785 | HSDK933109 | HSDK933111 |   HSDK933113
Thanks & Regards
Haritha.
