BIP report in plain text/fixed format.

Hi,
Is there an option for a BIP report to go out in plain text/fixed format. I dont see that option in the drop down where we select the format and view/send/schedule reports. Is this plain text/fixed format available in BIP at all? Also if I need to send/schedule a report with report name+date...can BIP do that? Please adivce. Thanks.

There is no plain text format.
Fixed format means you can select the format you need from the Limited Output Format.If You select only PDF for example the user able to see only the PDF output.
While You schedule the Report under the Report parameter tab
you will get the Template and the Format option .There u can select the Format you want to send.
Thanks

    Hi,
    You have the choice between xml or pdf, in later versions of designer you can choose with a dropdown on the email button Object palette, the "Submit As";
    In earlier version you had to edit the XML Source and change the format from xml to pdf (or vice-versa);

  • Plain text ASCII format file

    This may be slightly off-topic, but I'm hoping maybe someone knows the answer:
    I received a license for the Messiah animation suite as part of a one-time offer, and it says to paste the License text "into a text file... (this file must be a plain text ASCII format file, NOT Rich Text or doc)."
    I have Microsoft Office 2008. It has a Plain Text (.txt) format, but googling there seems to be some uncertainty if in Mac it is plain text ASCII format. The TextEdit app I'm not sure of either I'm pretty sure isn't.
    Anyone got a solution?
    Thanks!

    The problem is whether that version of .txt or the MS Office 2008 is actually ASCII format or unicode.
    I don't think that is the issue, since ascii and unicode are identical for the usual 26 letters and 10 digits that are probably in the license text. The point is that it be .txt and not .doc or .rtf or .html, which has all kinds of other junk added to the real content. I would use TextEdit set to Plain text.

  • Issue in BIP Report Generation - Issue gets fixed when the rtf is opened and re-saved

    Hi,
    We are facing a unique case in BIP reports generation at a Customer site. The BIP installed is a part of the OBIEE 11g installation. The customer report generates most of the times, however there are instances where we get a techinical details error ( custom error ) -  The only way to 'fix' this issue currently is to open the rtf file, hit the spacebar and save this file ( ie re-save this file ) and the report starts to generate correctly again for
    Has anyone else faced such a problem ?
    Also, not sure if this helps - the corresponding xdo has nested tags

    Your server file handling has nothing, and really nothing to do with Adobe software. If files don't get locked for (over-)writing and/or lose connection to the program opening them, then your server is misconfigured. It's as plain and simple and that. Anything from "known file types"/ file associations not being set correctly, MIME types being botched, crooked user privileges and file permissions, missing Mac server extensions, delayed file writing on the server, generic network timeout issues and what have you. Either way, you have written a longwinded post with no real value since you haven't bothered to provide any proper technical info, most notably about the alleged server. Either way, the only way you can "fix" it is by straightening out your server and network configuration, not some magic switch in Adobe's software.

  • Printing Crystal report using Generic Text output - formating lost

    Hi. I have an accounting system using Crystal to generate it's business forms, in particular invoicing as reports. Recently we have installed new printing system that needs generic text to capture and create the business forms (invoices) into a graphic and text. When Crystal sends data to Generic Text Printer, you can view it ok as a preview but it moves text around , bunches it up and formatting is never the same for two documents. I need resolution as the printing software needs fixed text in a specific location within the data file.  Is there a way in Crystal to format fields so they dont move the data and bunch it up. The business forms written in Crystal have sub reports that are supressed if no data is to be printed, but finding text is moving and hard to capture a fixed location in text file. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Hello,
    Thank you for your responses.
    Yes, I'm using a bundled version that came with VS 2005.
    I'd love to download this update, but I cannot get there! I don't have an login and password for this site, and I don't know how to get them.
    This is all I'd found about this issue in this thread:
    http://www.crystalreportsbook.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=844
    "I opened an incident with Business Objects.  They said there is not a way to do what we want to do with the Crystal Reports for .NET assemblies.  They are going to implement a way to create a postscript file and include it in Service Pack 3 of Crystal XI Release 2.  They would not say how the postscript will be created (ie, ExportToDisk or any other method), only that they would include it in CRXI Release 2 SP3 which they intend to release sometime this coming winter. "
    "Just an update...this has been fixed in Crystal XI Release 2 Service Pack 3.
    I just finished testing, and it now allows you to print to a file without prompting the user.  We are now able to create a postscript file."
    Thanks,

  • Generate a report in text file format

    Hello Experts,
           I need to write a program to generate a report in a text file format which is later saved on a directory in the application server. I have the fields with the sources defined and also the filters, selections, rows and columns. For example:-
    0company code (US) as the filter, 0CALDAY as the selection, CUSTNAM as the object in the row with sources coming from BUKRS and ZSD_CCUST. Can someone initiate or direct me to an already existing forum or throw some light on the issue.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    As mentioned above, the Open Hub service allows to extract data from an InfoCube/ODS/InfoObject and then store it a database table or flat file stored in the application server. You can start in transaction RSBO and create an InfoSpoke there.
    To schedule an extraction using an InfoSpoke, you need to place it in a process chain.

  • BIP Report is not opening in Siebel

    Hi All,
    We're having an issue with opening the BIP report except for the html format.
    After selecting i.e. the format pdf and click 'Submit' it takes a few seconds then the pop-up window appears where we can 'Open' or 'Save' the file.
    If I click Open the process iexplorer.exe goes up to 50% and stays there.
    If I click Save, it states in the task bar 'Start downloading from site...' and then it just stays in that state. The pdf file in question is only 2,72KB.
    We have tried all other formats and html is the only format that works.
    If the report is run on the server is seems to work as it should.
    Any help appreciated!

    Hi,
    Yes, this is fixed.
    The root cause was a security patch from Microsoft.
    The solution:
    - Remove Microsoft Patch KB974455.
    or
    - uncheck the ‘Use HTTP 1.1’ flag under Internet Options > Advanced tab.

  • IPhoto sends emails in Rich format even if the default format is Plain Text

    Detailed Summary (wouldn't fit in the Topic Subject):
    iPhoto will always send emails in Rich Text format even if Mail application is set to send all emails in Plain Text format. In other words, emails initiated from iPhoto ignore the selected Message Format setting in the Mail application.
    Description:
    It is a better practice to email photos in the Plain Text format instead of Rich Text format so recipients using different email clients can easily download attached pictures as regular attached files.
    The workaround is to change the email format to Plain Text before sending it. This wouldn't be such a problem if you could make this a permanent setting however this is not possible. The Mail application has a specific setting for this but iPhoto simply ignores it. This is the issue I am raising here.
    How to reproduce the problem:
    1. Open the Mail application (Assuming you already have an email account configured)
    2. Go to Preferences, Composing tab
    3. Change Message Format to "Plain Text"
    4. Optional step to verify that the Plain Text is now the default format: Start a new email. Click on menu Format and you'll see "Make Rich Text" available, which means the current email is in fact in Text Format. Close this email.
    5. Open iPhoto
    6. Select one or more photos and click on the "Email" icon on the lower right hand side
    7. A details popup will open, click on "Compose Message"
    8. The Mail application will open as well as a New Email window with the Subject field filled out and the selected photos in the email body
    9. Click on the menu Format
    Expected: Th last option should be "Make Rich Text" indicating that the current email is in Plain Text format as determined by the Mail settings (steps 1-5 above)
    Actual: Last option is "Make Plain Text" which means the current email is fact in the Rich Text format which does not match the Mail application settings.
    Can we at least get an acknowledgement from Apple that this is a known issue? Also, is there a fix for this? It is not an acceptable solution to tell users to manually select Plain Text for every email. I am tired of asking people to resend emails that way. That is a workaround, not a solution.
    Test details:
    - Mail Version 4.4 (1082)
    - iPhoto Version 8.1.2 (424)
    - OSX Version 10.6.5

    iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback to report a bug.
    Can we at least get an acknowledgement from Apple that this is a known issue?
    Need to ask Apple that one.

  • DECODING MAIL FROM WEB SERVER IN PLAIN TEXT FORMAT(THE MAIL BEING SENT BY LABVIEW APPLICATION)

    Hi All
    I have a labview application that send mail every hour automatically.
    But actually the mail has to be decoded from the web server(by another application).But now when that application decode the data in the mail(that is send by labview application)its getting some funny characters inside that can not be detected by the decoding application
    (When open the mail no problem.)But actually our goal is to decode the mail from the web server.
    Why the extra characters are appearing when decoding from the server?Is it because of the HTML format?
    Is there option to send the mail in plain text format(not like attachment)?
    In outlook we can change the setting (tools->options->send->mail sending format->....here we can set as HTML format/Plain Text format)
    Like that at the sending time can i chenge the sending option as plain text format in my labview application?
    Thanks...

    smercurio_fc wrote:
    Then it sounds to me like this other application is not decoding the attachment correctly, especially if you looked at the attachment yourself after you received it and verified it's correct.
    No, no, smercurio. This is charcter encoding here. In older versions of LabVIEW you could specify what character encoding to use when sending an email through the SMTP VIs. But that gave problems since people in certain locales used certain characters that where not transfered right when the wrong encoding was specified, and that encoding stuff is not understood by most people at all, so the wrong selected encoding was rather the rule than the exception. In newer versions of LabVIEW do the SMTP VIs handle the encoding automatically based on the currently used locale on the system.
    This change is documented in the Upgrade Notes of LabVIEW and probably happened around LabVIEW 7.1 or 8.0.
    A decent mail client will recognize the encoding and convert it back to whatever is necessary before presenting it to the user. The OPs posters server application obviously isn't a smart mail client but probably just some crude text file parser that has no notion of proper mail character encoding and how to deal with it.
    I would suppose that there is a chance to dig into the SMTP VIs itself and try to manipulate or disable that encoding altogether in there but that may open a whole can of worms somewhere else. The proper way would be to process the incoming mail by a character encoding aware mail client before passing it to the text parser. On Unix setting up something like this would be fairly trivial.

  • Generating BIP report in RTF format generates blank report

    Hi all,
    When generating a BIP report in RTF format the report output is blank!?
    If I run the report in any other format the report displays the data correctly.
    We're running siebel 8.1.1.2 and BIP 10.1.3.4.1.
    When looking at the size of the report when the 'File Download' window appears it seem like the report contains data as the size is 62KB, compared to the pdf format which do display data is 20KB. The output generates the amount of pages that is needed for the report, but all pages are blank.
    The report is an activity List report with just one for-each statement in it.
    Has anybody come across the same?

    Hi alka,
    To invoke Word automatically, use command
    line options DESTYPE=CACHE,
    DESFORMAT=RTF and MIMETYPE=application/msword.
    This is an example URL: http://webserver:80/cg-bin/rwcgi60.exe?module
    =test.rdf&userid=scott/tiger@mydb&
    destype=cache&desformat=rtf&mimetype=application/msword&server=myrepserver
    1. Check the appropriate mimetype setting for Word by Starting Windows Explorer,
    choose View -> Options from the menu, go to the File Type tab, find Microsoft
    Word Document in this list, click Edit, and get the value for Content Type
    (MIME). This is the value that needs to be used in the MIMETYPE command line
    option, and it will typically be application/msword, but may differ on
    different machines.

    Hello all.
    Bi Publisher is great, but has a very high price tag. It's even more expensive than Forms & Reports Services. We are considering APEX to replace Forms & Reports on the web, but the reporting limitations are still a problem.
    I wonder if there is another option.

  • Print report into TEXT file format

    How am I going to produce a text file report from report builder?
    -- I want all the layout header, page number, time as preview windows.
    -- I use charactor mode to build the report, then use option "generate to file - delimited".(but the layout was messy)
    -- After save the file, the layout is totally different from preview window.
    How can I overcome this problem. Thank you for helping.

    hello Tan Chin Chye,
    if you create your report in character mode, then if you pass/set parameter mode to character, then you can create text file by supplying values for parameters destype (file), desformat (selected printer file - you may customize some for yourself - number of characters per line, number of lines pre page, some control sequences ...) and desname (name of file to create). not sure about creating such file from previewer, but you can try print and then print to file option ... in character mode this should produce plain text ...

  • Can text be formatted when using 'Append report text.vi'?

    The example that ships with LabVIEW 7 'Generate Report from Template (Word).vi' uses 'Append report text' to insert text into a word template via bookmarks.
    My question is can this text be formatted in any way (e.g. fontsize, fontcolor, ...)? It seems I can't format the bookmark and I can't format the transmitted text. It always appears in Normal Arial 12pt.
    Thanks!

    Thank you,
    this works well for formatting the whole report. I also found that the Word Format Text.vi placed directly behind the Append Report Text.vi changes the attributes for the previously inserted text at the bookmark.

  • Attach to Email - Can we create HTML format rather than plain text

    We need to send invoices & receipts to customers. Our accounting app produces a PDF. We then use the toolbar button (or File|Attach to email).
