Can an XML Publisher template be expressed in XML?

Hi -
Is it possible to specify the template for an XML Publisher report in XML? That is,
does XML Publisher specify an XML Schema for expressing a Template in XML?
Thanks,
- Don

Hi,
The XML style sheet should not be embedded into the report file. Since XML would represent raw data, you would not include information on how to interpret it. However, there is a way for you to easily reference your style sheet, even when it is on another computer.
1) Go to Configure >> Report Options in TestStand, and change the style sheet file to your style sheet.
2) Uncheck the "Store Absolute File Path" box.
3) Make sure the style sheet is in the same folder as your report.
You can view this on any computer, and now a relative path is now being used to reference the file.

XML Publisher template. Can't associate to a report

Hi,
I made a report with xml output. With it's output I define an rtf template and associate it to an XML Publisher template.
When I execute this report, I try to choose the template to format the output to excel (in Options button), but lov is empty.
This is not my first XML Publisher template an I never had this problem, but now I don't know what to do. Any idea?
These are the steps I follow:
1- Create a report and setup it on EBS with XML output
2- Launch the report in EBS and obtain and XML file
3- Create an RTF template with MS Word, XML Publisher plug-in and XML file
4- In EBS, XML Publisher Administrator, create a data definition and a template.
5- In System Administration/Requests I try to associate the template to the report in On Site Tab. The template's lov is empty
Thanks to all

Hi,
It is also mentioned in (Note: 276691.1 - XML Publisher and Concurrent Manager Integration). Anyway, the OP has already provided the solution without referring to any document which should be easy for those who may encounter the same issue.
Thanks,

Sushant,
you can try to design the RTF by Regrouping the XML data based on your requirement then you may get proper order.
Please see the Regrouping XML concept in the user guide.

How to do subtemplate Using XML Publisher Template Builder for Word 5.6.2

Is it possible to do subtemplate (similar to subreport in crystal report) using XML Publisher Template Builder for Word 5.6.2?. If yes, can anyone explain how to call or import subtemplate from main template?
Thank you
V.Piraba

Hi V. Piraba,
Here is how it works for me in Microsoft Word 2003. I'm not sure if it will work in Word 5.6.2.
Creating Subtemplates
1) Make sure you fill in the “Territory” field when creating Subtemplates. Otherwise there will be no way to import the Subtemplate into another Template. The Import command requires the Territory field to call it from other Templates. You will get a big Java error if you try to import a Subtemplate that does not have the Terriroty field populated.
Importing Subtemplates
1) Place the following syntax at the beginning of your XML Publisher template to import a subtemplate (in Oracle Applications)
<?import:xdo://XDO.[Template Code Name].English.US?>
Example: <?import:xdo://XDO.WC_SUBTEMPLATE_LOGOS.English.US?>
2) Use the following commands to importing Subtemplates from local/network drives (outside of Oracle Applications):
<?import:file:C:/Temp/WC Subtemplate - Logos.rtf?>
<?import:file:L://Templates/WC Subtemplate - Logos.rtf?>
<?import: file:///C:WorkChemical.xsl?>
You can email me at [email protected] if you have further questions.
Hope this helps!

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..

Problem with a text in the last page of XML Publisher Template

Oracle Applications : 11.5.10.2
Oracle BI Publisher Template Builder for Word 10.1.3.4 Build 129
Hi,
I have a problem with XML Templates, I need that a text (*Este documento no confiere origen, señala únicamente país de manufactura.) is always at the bottom of a table and it has to be in every page, the problem is in the last page where the text is showed twice.
<?start:body?>
LINEA EN
FACTURA
DESCRIPCIÓN
CANTIDAD
NO. DE SERIE
PAIS DE MANUFACTURA*
F LINE_NUMBER
ITEM_DESCRIPTION
CF_PRIMARY_QTY
CF_SERIAL_NUMBER
CF_PAIS_DE_ORIGEN
E
*Este documento no confiere origen, señala únicamente país de manufactura.<?end body?>
*Este documento no confiere origen, señala únicamente país de manufactura.
Is there a way in order not to print the text twice in the last page?.
Regards,
Sergio.

Whatever the problem, it's likely due to how those paragraphs
were formatted in Word. The RH conversion usually only reflects
what was done there.
Are you comfortable inspecting the underlying HTML code (the
RH TrueCode tab)? I think you'd find some type of SPAN tag or STYLE
attribute that is determining an absolute paragraph width.
Otherwise, you could try this experiment:
1. Strip the base Word doc to a moderate size, but which
includes at least one of these non-wrapping paragraphs.
2. Select All and press Ctrl+spacebar (this removes all
formatting from the selected text).
3. Import that Word doc to RH and see how it looks now.
Good luck,
Leon

SSIS "XML Source Adapter" can't make XSD location an expression

I am using the "XML Source Adapter" in an SSIS package.
I notice that although you can specify the XML filename as an expression, the XSD appears to have to be a fixed file path.
This is a problem for me since the path for the XSD is different in my development than it will be in production (in production it's on drive E:, which I don't have).
I'd like to have the file location specified in the config file, but since I can't make it an expression how can I do that?
Also, since they don't have Connection Managers I can't switch DelayValidation on.
Thanks.

Hi John,
Here is my pevious post
I have about 400 xml files with me and all this data has to be loaded in about 30 tables, Basically have 30 different varities of xml files and matching 30 xsd files. We were trying to load all this using "Data Flow Task" and "XML Source". Using
FOR Each Loop passing appropriate XML File and XSD to Data Flow task and load it in one shot. Rather than having 30 different Data Flow tasks. Is there any other way, we can accomplish this task using a loop and dynamically passing the different files.
You have suggested to follow the URL
There's some example code here for package generation here:
http://sqlsrvintegrationsrv.codeplex.com/releases/view/17647
Everywhere I see, they are suggesting to use Flat File or Excel data examples. Do you have any posting that can help me to use XML file as a dynamic input file for XML Source.
If anyone has any code samples how we can use XML files as dynamic source for XML Source task to import data into SQL Sever, that would be really appreciated.
Thanks

XML Publisher Template Re-Generator

What does the XML Publisher Template Re-Generator actually do? I'm having an issue where the AP Check layout is fine when I test locally on my pc, but when i run the check in the Oracle app, the check prints on the next page.

Hi,
It's for use when you upgrade your version of XMLP. When you load an rtf template via XMLP Admin it stores your original file and also converts it to XSL-FO. When you upgrade XMLP then the functionality changes and the XSL-FO it generates changes.
The re-generate process rebuilds the XSL-FO for all the templates loaded into the database.
I think I read somewhere that in 5.6.3 this is run as part of the patching process.
Regards
Paul

[SOLVED]List of XML Publisher templates

As I have said before, you have to create a new template definition and assign the seeded data definition to it. Then you need to do the Purchasing setup as defined in the other thread:
Logo on a Standard Purchase Order Stylesheet
PO Output for Communication will automatically use the defined template when the Purchasing setup is completed.
Please also see the white paper mentioned in that thread.
