Can we use xml Publisher reporting for sql* Plus in EBS

Hello All,
The current report is designed in Sql* Plus Executable report and the output is in txt format, Now the requirement is to have the output in Excel format.
So is it possible to use the xml reporting and make the output as Excel from the word template we design from MSword as we do for rdf(I have done few reports created in rdf to xml publisher reports in EBS and stand alone as well.).
Do the same procedure will suit for Sql*Plus reports tooo or Is there any work around to achieve this.
Thanks and Regards
Balaji.

Hi
Thanks for the reply..
I tried to do the follwoing
1. changed the output to xml in the conc. prog.
2. ran the same report but i am getting the follwoing error in the output file
The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.
Invalid at the top level of the document. Error processing resource
Other reports which are using the Oracle Reports(rdf) as source, i am able to generated the xml as expected....
So my question is whether we can use sql* reports executable and generate xml in the conc.prog.
if any one has used the sql*reports for xml publisher reporting... please let me know, so that if its possible i will check my sql needs some validation or tuning...
thanks in advance
Balaji.

Pulling Signature into an XML Publisher report for Recruitment letters

Hi All,
I'm trying to create signed recruitment letters for the Talent Acquisition module and am not quite sure how to handle this technically.. I assume some customizations are in order...
I guess some of the questions I have are:
1) Is there OOTB functionality to handle Signatures in PS?
2) Do i store the image in the database or on an accessible network/local drive location?
3) Can XML Publisher handle this type of request?
4) Is there any documentation out there to explain this in more detail?
5) Any advice on how to proceed?
I also have a company logo they want pulled into the XML Publisher Report.. i assume it would be a simliar effect.
Anyway, I was hoping someone out there may have some advice on how to proceed.
Regards,
Greg

Below excerpt from Oracle XML Publisher Core Components Guide
Images
XML Publisher supports several methods for including images in your published document:
Direct Insertion*
Insert the jpg, gif, bmp, or png image directly in your template.
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'}
You can also build a URL based on multiple elements at runtime. Just use the
concat function to build the URL string. For example:
url:{concat(SERVER,'/',IMAGE_DIR,'/',IMAGE_FILE)}

Can i use XML publisher in a c/s enviroment?

Hi. I'd like to know whether it's possible to use XML Publisher in a C/S enviroment. We're still using reports and forms 6i in C/S. I'd like to know whether one can use the client version of XML to build custom reports (invoices for instance).
Thanks in advance ...!

Hi. my main concern is whether one can use XML publisher in a Client / Server enviroment. What this mean is :
If it's possible not to use the middle tier: the J2EE container thing?. Put in other words, keep it simpler: just use a client that process XML data (probably using 10g facilities). Use the desktop client of XML publisher to access an Oracle Database or some xml files and use this to configure custom invoice reports for example. Our application is still on forms and reports 6i (C/S). Since there are certain limitations in customising the layout model on reports, i've been advised to consider XML publisher. So i don't really need to use forms or reports 6i with XML publisher. What i need is access to an Oracle Database from a desktop client (or have the DB generate an XML file) and be still C/S. I don't want the complexity of the three tier arquitecture yet.
Best regards, Luis ...!

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!!

XML Publisher Report Finished in Warning 11i EBS HRMS

Hi there
I have developed XML Publisher Report using Developer 6i Data Module, this report works fine for specific sets of records. but When I run this report for All Companies This Report Finished in Warning.
Note: XML Data is generated in this report I can see the XML Data in explorer.
This report is for Oracle 11.5.10.2 (HRMS)
Oracle XML Publisher 5.6 Build 45
++++++++++++
AND When I load this XML file into Template at MS Word, I loaded Successfully and When I try to get the PREVIEW, I GET the following ERROR

ASIM

Is the XML file Complete with all tags closed? Issues with Oracle prevent the completion of the XML file. It truncates in between and hence is not parsed successfully by the XML Template.
Also, try setting the following to 'TRUE' under XML Publisher Administrator>Administration Tab
1) Use XML Publisher's XSLT processor.
2) Enable scalable feature of XSLT processor.
3) Enable XSLT runtime optimization.

Can Centura SQL Base Can be Used as a Source for SQL Server Reporting Services

I have bunch of Centura Report Builder and need to show them inside .NET WPF UI. I was thinking to convert those reports to SSRS and then show. But database here is SQL Base
and want to know whether SSRS supports SQL Base as a source. Also let me know is there a way to show Centura Report Builder inside WPF without converting to SSRS.

Hi JAISH,
In Reporting Services, a set of data processing extensions are automatically installed and registered on both the report authoring client and on the report server to provide access to a variety of data source types. But the SQLBase is not included.
However, custom data processing extensions and standard Microsoft .NET Framework data providers can be installed and registered by system administrators. So we can install and register the data processing extensions and data providers on the report server
to process and view a report; we can install and register them on the report authoring client to preview a report. But data processing extensions and data providers must be natively compiled for the platform where they are installed.
For more information about Implementing a Data Processing Extension, please refer to the following document:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-IN/library/ms154655.aspx
As the issue about how to show Centura Report Builder inside WPF, it related to WPF. It is out of the support boundaries of our forum, I suggestion you post the question in the following forum:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/home?forum=wpf. It is appropriate and more experts will assist you.

FO processing for XML Publisher Report Bursting Program

Hello,
I am facing the following problem: if i try to burst a report using XML Publisher Report Bursting Program special characters like (ş,ţ,ă, etc.) in the resulting PDF look strange. I have tried running the report without bursting it and the characters appear just fine (after i've set the FO Processing Font Mapping). My guess is that XML Publisher Report Bursting Program is not using the right font mapping. Have you faced this problem before? Do you have any idea how to set the right font mapping for XML Publisher Report Bursting Program.
Thank you.

So the answer was to make sure the location in the bursting file (location="xdo://schema.template_code.en.US) exactly matches the language/country setting in the uploaded Definition. Then make sure the fonts have been added to the xdo.cfg file matching what your Font Mappings are:

<truetype path="/app/erp1/applmgr/apps/tech_st/10.1.3/appsutil/jdk/jre/lib/fonts/CAMBRIA.TTC" />


<truetype path="/app/erp1/applmgr/apps/tech_st/10.1.3/appsutil/jdk/jre/lib/fonts/CAMBRIAB.TTF" />


<truetype path="/app/erp1/applmgr/apps/tech_st/10.1.3/appsutil/jdk/jre/lib/fonts/CAMBRIAB.TTF" />

XML Publisher Report in EBS without Standard Oracle Report

Hi folks ,
i have some questions.
Can I create a XML Publisher Report for the EBS without a Standard Oracle Report in EBS.
So that I can build up the files with the Desktop Publisher, create Data Definition / Template with Upload / Create the executable und concurrent and than only start the new program in EBS ?
I have the situation that I can start my program with the template in the background but ít is searching for the report on the file system.
Thanks in advance for the feedback.
regards
Kay

Hi Ravi ,
can i do it only with the xml Publisher , because when i tried it in the past and get all the staff like Template / DD / CP up and running and started the CR i get an error from the system that he is missing a report directly in the file system... so he searched for the report himself on system like a standard 6i Report. But the template and the dd is stored in the db. So my question again, can I use the XML Puplisher without a Standard Report or can i use a dummy file only for checking and after that he use my template / dd.
regards
Kay

Xml Publisher Report Without RDF

Hi experts,
I need to customize the seeded XML publisher report.Till now i developed XML publisher reports by developing rdf only. But here i didn't see any rdf for it..
without rdf how we can create the xml publisher report. I need to insert a field in this report where i need to insert this field.
where i found the SQL query for this report.Please help me
Thanks
Ashok

Thank u,
Here I need to customize the Sales Order XSL Template which is a seeded template in Order Management.
and it will execute when user select the actions button-> print and prview .so there is no concurrent program for this.they did the setups for this.
I didn't find any datetemplate for this in data defination window.here I need to change this one as
1.     Update the Report Header to read “Dispatch Note” instead of “ORDERING DOCUMENT”.
2.     Inclusion of logo for each police authority (Open Issue).
3.     Modification to include *“United Kingdom” instead of U.S.* in the free text portion of the PRODUCT section. “United Kingdom” value will be derived from the country specified for the selected organization and not hardcoded.
4.     Footer to include shipment date instead of Sales Order Creation date and the document should be available to print only after Ship Confirm.
5.     Updating the Layout template in the Transaction Type setup, so that it points to the modified layout template.
6.     The modified Dispatch Note document will be included in the Ship Confirm document set and this document set will be included in the respective Ship Confirm rules. This Ship Confirm Rule will be attached in the Shipping parameters tabs for both the organisations. This step would enable the Dispatch Note to be printed automatically after successful completion Ship Confirm process.
I have *.XSD file and .XSL file * .. I don't find any data template in datadefination window to see the SQL query.
I thought now i have to change the *.XSD AND .XSL FILES* is it right? Is there any other solution for this ..
Thanks
Ashok

How to invoke XML Publisher report in 11i

Can anybody please guide me on How can we invoke xml publisher report in 11i and how can we call XML publisher report from form or OA framework.
Thanks

Hi
1. From a form ... a little tricky. Forms 6i has v limited java support so calling the XMLP apis directly is going to be tough. We do have a few products and customers that do it, here are a few scenarios:
a. Have a button/menu item to call the report, this actually kicks off the concurrent manager to submit a report that XMLP will format
b. Have a button that calls the plsql package, 'htp', this in turn can call an OA page where a report can be rendered in the page.
2. From OAF page - much easier. You can call the TemplateHelper API form your page passing data, template reference, lang, terr, output format - the API will return the output.
For the OAF approach and option'b' for forms I would recommend using the XMLP common region. This is a region that can be plugged into your custom page. Its very configurable - you can point it to a concurrent request, a completed document e.g. a PDF doc, you can pass it XML data from your BC4J objects or a data template. You can then configure what changes the user can make, change template, language, locale, output - please check the user guide for details on the Common Region.

How to filter cancelled PO lines using XML publisher desktop

Hello,
I've created a new PO template for printing using XML Publisher Desktop for Word. Output format is in RTF. All data required was printed except when the user canceled a particular PO line, that line will also be printed out with quantity and total amount 0. How can I filter PO lines with "canceled" flag not be printed out? Is it possible to insert conditional statement within the table template? How to do that?
Thanks in advance

if you want only test it by XML publisher desktop
then you can use if statement
for example in field
<?if:TAG1='test?>then
<?TAG2?>then
<?end if?>for row between (for example)
<?for-each:G_GROUPNAME?>and
<?end for-each?>BTW use this method is not correct in my opinion
if you use "canceled" flag as parameter in concurrent program
then you may get xml for RTF template only with needed data

Excel Output for Standard Reports using XML Publisher

Hi All,
Customer wants to get Excel Output for the existing Standard/Custom Reports using XML Publisher. I followed the following procedure.
1. Changed the output to XML for Concurrent program ( Trial Balance - Detail )
2. Used the Existing seeded Template
3. Ran the Report using EXCEL as the output.
When I clicked on View Output, I am not able to see the Excel output. I am seeing the HTML tags in the output window. Verified that Viewer Options existed for Excel as follows:
File Format=Excel, Mime Type=application/vnd.ms-excel.
When I ran the report with PDF output. I can see the PDF output.
Ran the HTML output with new Viewer Option ( File Format=HTML, Mime Type=application/vnd.ms-excel) then I can see the output in Browser in the Excel format. I did this test after going through the Metalink Note: Note:316752.1
My question is.. Do I need always choose the HTML ouput in the options window to trigger the Viewer option for HTML. Customer may not like this idea. He would like to choose the Excel Output and see the output in Excel format either in the Browser or Microsoft Excel.
Can someone in this situation before help me out.
Thanks,
V

Questions rephrase:
1. Is the output is same for HTML and Excel options ?
2. Why the output is viewable with HTML option and not with Excel option ?
Customer has XML Publisher Version 5.0.1 and in the process of applying 5.6.1
Thanks,
V
