Can XML publisher

Hi,
I have a requirement where I have to convert the Word document stored in the BLOB column to be converted to PDF output. Can this conversion be done with BI publisher. can you provide documents for reference.
Regards,
Jay.

Hi Jay,
I haven't tried this myself, but this may work....In the RTF Template declare the following:
<fo:instream-foreign-object content type="application/msword">
<xsl:value-of select="WORD_DOCUMENT"/>
</fo:instream-foreign-object>Where:
WORD_DOCUMENT is the XML tag for your BLOB element.
The Oracle doco says it will only work with Images, but since a word document is a MIME type then it may just be ok.
Kind Regards
Andy

  • Can XML Publisher add a digital certificate (cert.pfx) via the xdo.cfg file or do I need to upgrade and use BI Publisher instead?

    Hi Guys
    I need to add a digital certificate to a clients customer statements and invoices. XML Publisher 5.6.3 has been used originally to design the templates as RTF. I have the following questions please...
    1. Can an RTF template be used or do I need to convert it to a pdf template?
    2. Can XML publisher even be used or do I need to get the DBAs to install BI Publisher. XML Publisher doesn't even have the signature properties in the admin screens that BI Publisher has.
    Below is a copy of the xdo.cfg file which currently does not add the pfx file...
    <config version="1.0.0"  xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/oxp/config/">

    Hi XML guru's,
    I understand that, XML publisher holds templates. Which are used to create XML reports.
    Could anyone let me know, whether XML server can able to hold data source like stored procedures etc.
    So it can fetch data with in the XML publisher and generate a report accordingly.

    Hi,
    I understand that XML Publisher is stand alone product which can has it own roles and responsibilities.
    Is there any way, we can add integrate XML Publisher with Oracle Apps. So that it will share same roles and responsibilities.
    Let me know, if any patch to be applied ?

  • Can XML Publisher 5.6.3(EBS) be integrated with APEX?

    On the following document, XMP Publisher 5.6.2 does not support integration with APEX. May I know about 5.6.3? Or is it about the product being an add-on with EBS causing the non-support to integration(meaning, even 5.6.3 is not supported)?
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/configure_printing.html
    Thanks,
    Rownald

    APEX integrates with the standalone version of BI Publisher. There was not a server component with the standalone 5.6.3 release. The integration relies on publisher providing a servlet for APEX to communicate with, 5.6.3 does not have this.
    If you are talking 5.6.3 under EBS then I guess you could build a servlet on the mid tier that called the BIP conversion APIs - it would all be custom work.
    The APEX integration needs 10.1.3.2 BIP to work with out of the box.

  • 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 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.).

  • 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 ...!

  • Can we create a drilldown report in XML Publisher

    Hi,
    I am currently into a project where we are implementing Oracle Applications. Here I have a task where I have to convert the legacy reports into XML Publisher. Here there are few legacy reports which have a scenario like:
    A report contains Summary and detail modes, wherein if we run the report we can see the summary mode and for every record in summary mode there is a button which will take us to the detail mode of that particular record.
    Now can I develop a same kind of report in XML Publisher where I can somehow navigate to the detail of the report from summary page.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Regards,
    Santosh

    Hi Naveen,
    I want something like a button, or a small icon which can be used as a hyperlink to navigate from the summary to detail mode. And if you have anything in mind apart from this which can solve my problem you can even suggest that.
    Thanks,
    Santosh

  • Can an XML Publisher template be expressed in XML?

    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.
