BiPub 11g World Template builder if tag modify problem

Hi Gurus,
in World Template Builder 11.1.1.3.0 if I copy an "if Tag" on a different point of the template and I try to modify the condition, if I reopen the tag it is always the original condition...
Any Idea?
This does not happend in 10g.

  • RTF file Template Builder Clarification

    I have a custom report which uses XML publisher. The RTF file has constraint with page break. i.e. If total records exceeds 30 then print another page. The problem is 30 records are embedding in single page, but going into another page. so lot of pages are required to print the whole report. I updated the page count from 30 to 20 so that it will fit properly. But still it is not updating.
    here is the procedure I used to update the filed.
    Template Builder->Tools->Field Browser
    selected the Field, then in the edit box, I updated, I clicked UPDATE button, then REFRESH button and then CLOSE button.
    It is not saving the field rather I lost all XML end tags. I am not sure why it is happening. Is there any other place which we have edit/modify the logic.
    Since it is not saving, I am editing some column and trying to save it. But I am getting warning message after the execution of report. The reason is xml end tags are not present.
    appreciate your help.
    Thanks!!

  • Dynamic image does not work in the template builder plug-in (Apex-BI Intgr)

    Hi all, I posted this problem in the BI Publisher topic but nobody responded maybe this is because mods thought this is an Apex-BI integration issue.
    If I'm in the wrong place, please do warn me.
    The documentation says:
    Direct Insertion
    Insert the jpg, gif, or png image directly in your template.
    ...This works obviously
    URL Reference
    1. Insert a dummy image in your template.
    2. In Microsoft Word's Format Picture dialog box select the Web tab. Enter the following syntax in the Alternative text region to reference the image URL:
    url:{'http://image location'}
    For example, enter: url:{'http://www.oracle.com/images/ora_log.gif'}
    ...This works too when I hardcode an url as url:{'http://www.google.com.tr/images/firefox/mobiledownload.png'}
    Element Reference from XML File
    1. Insert a dummy image in your template.
    2. In Microsoft Word's Format Picture dialog box select the Web tab. Enter the following syntax in the Alternative text region to reference the image URL:
    url:{IMAGE_LOCATION}
    where IMAGE_LOCATION is an element from your XML file that holds the full URL to the image.
    ...This, however, does not work.
    I use Apex' report query tool and My query is like
    select 'http://www.google.com.tr/images/firefox/mobiledownload.png' IMAGE_LOCATION from ... (a single result set for my template)
    the xml data is generated with an IMAGE_LOCATION tag. I load it to word template plug-in. The Url successfully displays in the report if I make it a plain-simple field.
    But when it's in the image format->web->alt text as url:{IMAGE_LOCATION} no image displayed.
    I need to keep this design procedure simple so a simple word user could design a report via using just template builder plug-in. I don't wish to explore the xsl-fo area...yet.
    Could you tell me why I can't get this url:{IMAGE_LOCATION} to work?
    Regards
    PS: My BI version: 10.1.3.4.1

    Hi Oeren,
    your steps seem basically to be correct. I have a tutorial how to do this here (in german)
    http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/de/community/apex/tipps/pdf-dyn-images/index.html
    when you see the URL corrently as long as you have it as a plain text field, the XML tag and the
    referencing seem to be OK.
    Here are two thought - the issue might be one of these ...
    How did you insert the dummy image into the word document - did you do it via "insert" or
    via "link to file". "Link to File" does not work - you must choose the simple "insert".
    Another one: Does your BI Server have a connection to the internet - is the proxy server correctly set ..?
    Does this help ..?
    Regards

  • Configuration Template Builder WL8.1 does not work

    Hello,
         After spending nearly 2 days now trying to get a Configuration Template
    built, I've concluded this simply does not work. Has anyone used the
    Config Template builder to package a semi-complex application on top of WLI?
         I'm trying to have 2 of my applications, the JMS and JDBC resources,
    and a WLI event generator packaged up for easy deployment to someone
    else's server configuration. The problem with this is that there are
    required resources for WLI, namely a database. The Pointbase database
    included for WLI does not get included in the template automatically.
    There are also some flat-out bugs:
    If you choose to include a resource adapter "application", such as
    jms-xa-adp.rar, the template builder does not bundle this in the
    template and deploy it correctly. The template builder restricts you to
    putting applications in the relative path starting at ./
    For jms-xa-adp.rar, its original location is in $WL_HOME/server/lib, and
    the template builder defaults to put it in ./lib of your template.
    However, when you create a domain with the template, jms-xa-adp.rar does
    not get placed in your ./lib directory. This causes you to then go and
    manually edit your config.xml to point back at $WL_HOME/server/lib or to
    manually copy jms-xa-adp.rar into your ./lib directory (which the
    template mechanism should do for you).
    Relative paths in the config.xml file require you to execute the config
    builder from the directory of the domain you are making a template for.
    The template builder should instead be smart enough to realize that
    relative paths in the config.xml file are relative to the directory that
    the config.xml is in, not the one you are running the template builder
    from. You'll get an error when trying to create the template cause it
    won't find the resources if you're not in that directory.
    If anyone has successfully used this to package a WLI application in a
    template, please share your experiences and how to do so. In the
    meantime, I'm claiming there is no way to nicely package up a server
    configuration for a WLI app in Weblogic, and this is a big shortcoming.
    Weblogic needs a simple transferrable way of creating server
    configurations (it tries to do this with the template, but that is
    failing). With JBoss, for example, you simply copy your server directory
    into another installation. This doesn't work with Weblogic unfortunately
    because it puts hard-coded paths in the config.xml file.
    Thanks

    Russ,
         Thank you for the detailed responses. The only one I'm currently
    struggling with still is the #5, with the scripts between the two. One
    of the major benefits of using a J2EE App Server is supposed to be the
    portability between servers. I find it disconcerting that BEA Weblogic
    restricts me to the platform I created the domain on by creating
    platform-specific startup/shutdown scripts for only the platform created
    on. It's understandable that a script converter would be difficult, but
    at least both the .sh/.cmd files should be created from the first time
    you make a domain. If the user only wants one or the other, they can
    delete the appropriate one. It's also understandable that the
    users/deployers shouldn't have to manually convert a startup/shutdown
    script to take the domain to a different box.
         JBoss clearly has BEA beat on ease of deployment here. Their model is
    the concept I'm thinking of: you have some generic startup/shutdown
    scripts that can load a platform-independent server configuration. You
    truly can copy directories as-is between JBoss installations.
         I was hoping to package up a server domain for use on any of the
    supported platforms, but since I don't have the time to manually convert
    the startup/shutdown scripts, I'm going to have to tell people it's only
    for Solaris now.
         Hopefully BEA can fix this in a future SP. There's no need for this
    platform-dependency. Also, if the Windows version can generate both
    scripts at creation time, then the Solaris should be able to do this as
    well (or at least give you the option).
    Thanks again for the replies
    russ wrote:
    Hi Steven,
    I have several comments and questions about your last two posts. I will try to
    address them in order.
    1) "The Pointbase database included for WLI does not get included in the template
    automatically."
         By default the template builder only includes the *.cmd and *.sh files in the
    template from your domain directory. If you begin building with an existing
    domain template all files that were in the template will get included. This was
    done because there is no way for the builder to automatically determine all the
    files that are required by your template/domain and we steered away from recursively
    including all files from the directory so that unused files were not needlessly
    included. We can extrapolate some files based on the application paths in the
    config.xml, but the rest is left up to the template builder to be aware of what
    is needed for their domain to run. So, if you need the Pointbase *.dbn and *.wal
    files included in your template just select these files on the ?Add Files? panel
    of the template builder and add them to the ?Domain Directory?.
    2) ?If you choose to include a resource adapter "application", such as jms-xa-adp.rar,
    the template builder does not bundle this in the template and deploy it correctly.?
         The template builder considers application files to be in two categories: Imported
    or Internal. When you are at the ?Add Applications? panel of the builder you
    will see a checklist of all the applications that are in the domain you selected.
    On the right hand side there are two text fields. The top one displays the application
    path as it is currently set in the config.xml of that domain. The bottom field
    will be different depending on what category the application falls into. As you
    click on each application in the list, you may notice that the bottom field may
    change from an editable field titled ?Imported Application Path? to a non-editable
    field titled ?Internal Application Path?. The difference between the two categories
    is that an ?Imported? application?s files will be included in the template jar.
    An ?Internal? application?s files will not be included in the template jar because
    they are considered internal to the weblogic installation. The jms-xa-adp.rar
    should fall into the internal category and should not get included in your template.
         From what you are describing it sounds like the builder attempted to import that
    application when it should not have. In an attempt to recreate the problem you
    are seeing I deployed that Connector Module through the WLS console and ended
    up with an application path of ?C:\bea\weblogic81\server\lib? where ?C:\bea\weblogic81?
    is my WL_HOME (a.k.a. USER_INSTALL_DIR). If I then attempt to build a template
    from this domain, the builder recognizes this as an internal path and does not
    include it inside my template. If the current application path you had looks
    different from the one above, that may explain why the builder was attempting
    to import it. What was the value of the ?Current Application Path? for that application
    deployment?
    3) ?Relative paths in the config.xml file require you to execute the config builder
    from the directory of the domain you are making a template for.?
         The builder is ?smart? enough to determine relative paths. You should not have
    to invoke it from the domain directory you are working with. There is a known
    bug in the WebLogic Platform 8.1.1.0 release of the template builder that will
    cause it to not find files with relative paths in your domain directory if the
    application path in the config.xml is just a ?.?. If this is the case, you should
    see a FileNotFoundException when you attempt to create the template. This will
    be fixed in SP2 and you can work around this problem by changing those paths to
    ?./? instead. If this was not the case, what was the path the wizard choked
    on?
    4) ?Looking through the config file, it seems that it's all of the WLI components
    that have absolute paths in the config file. In addition, BEA_WLS_DBMS_ADK has
    an absolute path, not sure if that is WLI or WLS. ?
         BEA_WLS_DBMS_ADK is an integration application. If you created the original
    domain using the configuration wizard most of the applications in an integration
    enabled domain will reference paths inside of you installation directory or ?internal?
    paths. For instance, I used the wizard to create a ?Basic WebLogic Integration
    Domain?. The path for that application in this domain is: ?C:\bea\weblogic81/integration/adapters/dbms/lib/BEA_WLS_DBMS_ADK.ear?
    where ?C:\bea\weblogic81? is my WL_HOME or USER_INSTALL_DIR. When I load this
    domain into the builder it shows this application as ?internal? and the ?Internal
    Application Path? is "$USER_INSTALL_DIR$/integration/adapters/dbms/lib/BEA_WLS_DBMS_ADK.ear".
    This will be set as the path value of this application in the config.xml that
    will be included in the template you build. When you later use the Configuration
    Wizard on this template it will substitute the $USER_INSTALL_DIR$ to the value
    of the installation directory of the machine you are creating it on.
         If you were to Change these to relative paths, as Mark previously suggested,
    it will only work if you copy the domain directory to the same location relative
    to your installation directory on the target machine. Also, if you copy the domain
    in this manner you will more than likely run into problems with your start/stop
    scripts and be forced to hand modify all the paths contained within. The configuration
    wizard tries to alleviate these problems and make the configuration entirely portable.
    This gives the user who creates the domain from your template the ability to
    put it anywhere they want regardless of the paths in the config.xml.
    5) ?However, there is another major problem with the Template Builder: it only
    includes the startup/shutdown script for the platform you create the template
    on. ???I built the template on Solaris with the UNIX scripts. However, I tried
    to create a new config on Windows with this template, and the scripts were not
    converted to .bat files!?
         As I stated previously, the builder will only include *.cmd and *.sh scripts
    into your template by default. If you created the domain on a unix platform using
    the configuration wizard it will not extract the *.cmd files since these aren?t
    considered to be useful on unix. If you were then to attempt building a template
    from this domain and take it onto a windows platform, it will obviously be missing
    any windows scripts. Conversely, the wizard will extract *.sh scripts on windows
    because they can still be useful if a user has an MKS or Cygwin type environment
    installed. The config wizard and template builder do not have the ability to convert
    scripts. The builder will only include existing scripts that are in your domain
    directory and automatically determine any necessary string substitutions that
    will be needed. Please note that since WebLogic is only supported on the NT/2K/XP
    versions of windows you will find that the wizards use ?.cmd? files and not ?.bat?
    files since these are more commonly associated with Win 95/98/ME.
         I will be happy to answer any more questions you may have and would also like
    to take a look at your domain configuration to try and get a better understanding
    of the problems you are encountering.
    thanx,
    russ

  • BI Publisher Template Builder - Can't add/edit chart

    Hi all,
    I am trying to edit a BIP template using the template builder.
    I can log on successfully using the Oracle BI Publisher / Log In option in the menu bar and I am able to choose the template I want to edit.
    Once I open the template, I try to edit one existent chart (right click on the chart / BI Publisher chart) and a chart window appears.
    The problem that I am facing is that I can't apply the new layout properties to the chart cause both the OK and PREVIEW buttons are disabled.
    I know I am probably missing some step but I don't really know which cause I am enew with BIP.
    The strange thing is that I can modify successfully the existent tables or even create new ones, but I can't add/edit new charts.
    I am using MS Word 2007 (I have tried with 2000 also in another laptop) with the template builder 10.1.3.4.1 version.
    Thanks in advance for help.
    Giovanni

    Hi Giovanni,
    I had the same issue and struggled with it a few hours, but the solution is very simple. Here are some directions for fixing this issue.
    1. In the Layout section there are three options to configure: Values, Aggregation and Labels.
    2. Make sure you add the fields to the Values option, select aggregation if it applies for your chart.
    3. Add the field to the Labels section, then you will enable the preview and OK buttons.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to design a template without Template Builder in Word 2007?

    How can i design a template in Word 2007 without Template Builder, since i am using Vista that does not support BI Publisher Desktop.
    Is it possible to desgin a template in Open Office ?

    Yes. It is possible. But the template would not look as clean.
    For your xml data, use direct tags in your template. like for field that appears in xmlp as <DATA>Value</DATA>, enter this in template - <?DATA?>. Also, for other tags, like for-each etc, u can write them directly, you can not preview it as such, but u may directly copy it to server and run there. It Will work.

  • Multiple sources on Template Builder

    Hi,
    how to put multiple data sources into template builder ? i would like a database report and i need to put data from instance, data files, etc.
    I tried to code a .xdo file, but don´t know the sintax.
    thanks,
    Sandro.

    I don't know what you used as the name of your data source, but it is used as the XML tag. We correct the name in some ways, but it may be that we don't correct everything.
    Please try to use something simple such as
    sql1
    sql2
    as the data source name nothing containing <sql_ID>?
    Try first to see if you get the XML for both. If you have two datasources, you may have two correct any loops to show ONLY the data for the correct datasource.
    For example if the outer loop of the table (hidden in F field - doubleclick, then select help text) contains:
    <?for-each:ROW?>
    you may need to change that to
    <?for-each:sql1/ROW?>
    or
    <?for-each:sql2/ROW?>
    We are trying to simplify that for the next release.
    Hope that helps,

  • Template Builder (XML Publisher Report) for Open Office

    Hi,
    Do any body has any idea, if can have template builder for Open Office also, My company has un installed MS Office from my machine, and they dont have license now.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Nidhi Gupta

    Hi All,
    I think Oracle can provide a BI Publisher Software for the Open Office, since the licencing cost for MS Office is very high.
    "OpenOffice Writer" is a open source alternative to MS Word and can be used on Linux. If I am using Linux OS and have to work on BI Publisher templates then certainly I will have to install Windows or use WINE ( I donno how it works but heard of it)
    Other Oracle tools such as SQL Developer, etc are platform independent.. then why only BI Publisher is limited for windows/MS Office.
    Tim,
    Can you please answer..
    I think it should integrate with OpenOffice too!!

    This is my xml file please let me know how to do the groupingbased on "BUYER_SUBGROUP" and also "BUYER_GROUP_TOTAL" and "BUYER_SUBGROUP_TOTAL" in RTF.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    I see that your data is having this format
    <LIST_G_REQ>
    <G_REQ>
    <BUYER_ID>DENIECE</BUYER_ID>
    <BUYER_GROUP>1</BUYER_GROUP>
    <BUYER_SUBGROUP>ADMIN</BUYER_SUBGROUP>
    <REQ_TOT>1</REQ_TOT>
    </G_REQ>
    </LIST_G_REQ>
    So to group by BUYER_SUBGROUP, your code will be
    <?for-each-group:G_REC;BUYER_SUBGROUP?>
    <?end for-each?>
    I dont know what you mean by BUYER_GROUP_TOTAL and BUYER_SUBGROUP_TOTAL here.

  • XML Publisher Template Builder for Adobe Acrobat

    Need a XML Publisher Template Builder for adobe acrobat as is available for word.

    I did so.. however, publisher is not able to substitute xsl syntax by the actual value..
    eg.
    i had a <?X_PO_NUM?> in word (either using text field or manually writing this..) and i converted the word doc into pdf using third party s/w..
    when i uploaded this template pdf with sample data file using xmlp admin repsonsibility, and tried to preview the output,
    substitution is not happening..
    the requirement here is, to have some input fields in final PDF output for which report-users should be able to type values in.
    for which I assume initial template has to be in PDF itself..
    any ideas or pointers will be much appreciated..

  • Preview Etext template in XML Publisher Desktop (Template Builder)

    Is there a way, or are there plans, to be able to preview an eText template using the template builder, in MS Word, like you can with PDF type templates. This is a great feature when creating PDF output and saves a lot of time. It would be great to be able to do the same for eText templates.
    Cheers,
    Dave

    You can create a dummy data definition and dummy template(etext) in xml publisher admin responsibility.
    For the Data definition , in the bottom if you scroll down you will see a link for upload preview xml data file.
    After uploading the xml file access your template and you can see a preview icon.If you click it you will see a txt file popping up
    thanks

  • Template Builder (BIPublisherDesktop.exe) installation for multiple users

    Hello,
    I tried to install version 10.1.3.4 of the template builder on a Citrix server (Metaframe 4.0) running under Windows 2003 SP2, and with Office 2003. Framework .NET 2.0 and JRE Sun 1.6 are also installed.
    It works, but, in Word 2003, the "Oracle BI Publisher" menu is only available for the user who have made the installation. Other users can"t see it ?
    I have monitored the registry during installation, and most of the keys are created in HKEY_CURRENT_USER, explaining why others can't see it.
    Is there a way to make one install available for all users ?
    Thanks.

  • Template Builder error(unable to load data)

    Hi All.
    When I try to load xml data into my document the template builder throws up the follwoing error
    The macro cannot be found or has been disabled because of you macro security settings
    This message can appear if:
    The macro was deleted from the template.
    The template was not loaded or referenced in the Templates and Add-ins command.
    The macro was turned off by the macro security settings of your system.
    If the macro security settings are not allowing the macro to run, you should confirm the origin of the macro to be sure it can be trusted (contact the developer or the source for the macro). You can temporarily lower your macro security level to Medium, close the file, and then re-open it and enable each of the macros that you want to run. If you do change your macro security settings, be sure to raise them again after you accept the macro or trust the template the macro is stored in (usually requires copying the template to the same folder as other trusted templates).
    If the macro is not accessible because the template is not loaded, click Tools | Templates and Add-ins and browse to the template and click either Attach or Add. If the macro is not in the template, you may need to copy the macro from one template to another. Click the Organizer button at the bottom of the Templates and Add-ins dialog to start the Organizer utility.
    More information about this error message online. The macro setting in my document was set to medium.
    Tool-->>macro-->>security under security level tab it is medium.
    I followed all the steps mentioned in Tim's blog..but it didn't help any..
