Change UPK publishing template

Hi there,
can anybody help me?
How can I change the publishing template of UPK (for the Instructor Manual). For instance, the default format does not insert heading numbers. I also want to change the font and the front page.
Thanks,
Rutger

Hello,
Give this blog entry a read: http://blogs.oracle.com/UPK/2010/07/customizing_upk_outputs_part_3.html
I think that should get you started.

XML Publisher Template Selection Dynamically

Hi All,
I am new in XML Publisher domain and currently working on a report and I am able to generate EXCEL and PDF output using following steps.
STEPS
1.     Create RDF Report
2.     Register as Executable and Created Concurrent Program WITH XML Output
3.     Create RTF Template for PDF format
4.     Create RTF Template for EXCEL Format
5.     Register Data Definition (Concurrent Program short name is same)
6.     Register Template 1 (Default type PDF and uploaded PDF template file)
7.     Register Template 2 (Default type PDF and uploaded EXCEL template file)
8.     Running the Report using FND Request Submission form
a.     In Options Default is coming as EXCEL (only one template)
b.     Change template to PDF generates PDF output
c.     If added both the template another concurrent Program submitted (XDO) to generate both the outputs.
I have few questions
*1.* When I am submitting concurrent program how this form/concurrent program identifies default TEMPLATE (Excel or PDF)?
*2.* I have one parameter in RDF to determine which layout I have to use (Dynamically)
I found one procedure FND_REQUEST.ADD_LAYOUT to change the template code dynamically but this is not working (I tried this code in Before and After Report Triggers but without any luck)
I don’t want to submit another request (1 default present in OPTIONS tab and one from AFTER Report Trigger)
Using ADD_LAYOUT followed by FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT (XDO one to submit another request)
My interpretation of ADD_LAYOUT procedure is
This procedure set the package global (session) variables which are used by FND_REQUEST to identify template code and run XDO concurrent program to generate the actual output. But, when I submit the changes it picks template details from OPTIONS tab so ideally when I used this procedure OPTION tab values should change as per my selection? How can I change OPTIONS TAB values? Is it possible?
It will be a great help if someone can explain me how can I achieve this result.
Thanks & Regards
Sachin

You have another option which you can consider for this scenario.
Have a single RTF template and attach this to data definition.
Let this RTF conditionally choose the layout based on the input parameter.
i.e.
<?if:param1='PDF'?>
PDF layout
<?end if?>
<?if:param1='EXCEL'?>
EXCEL layout
<?end if?>

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.

Why when I publish template to FCPX the design appears as a thumbnail but the view shows the red warning screen with the Number 2?

why when I publish template to FCPX the design appears as a thumbnail but the view shows the red warning screen with the Number 2?

That is priceless!!! Thanks! I sure needed a good laugh after spending/wasting hours & days trying to either get my c6280 to give up on its Ink System Failure fixation, or find a decent replacement. Unfortunately I need the Smart Web Printing feature that I guess only HP has, or I'd try a different brand. And now even HP has very few models with that available.
My error msg is a little different from those previously stated, but close: 0xc18a0201. Even tho there were frustrations with my c6280, I did like several of its unique features which are hard to find now under $100. I hate how HP (& I suppose other brands also) are CONSTANTLY changing models & then of course ink cartridges.
Oh heavens, I've had the c6280 a whopping 2 1/2 years! I'm sure they want us poor slobs to have to buy a new one every year & a day! To say nothing of the exorbitant prices for ink. And now if this one is really dead in the water, I have SIX unused #02 ink cartridges which I cannot return---I got them in a combo pack, & for some reason have wound up with THREE lite pink & THREE lite blue cartridges, while having to buy extras of the other colors, that ran out before the others!!! Yeah, & what's with that not being able to print in BLACK if a color runs out????
Anyway I really loved your essay! It's a classic! And says it all! I hate that we have to be 'slaves' to the electronic 'wonders'!!!

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..

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.

Modify Pivot Table in BI Publisher Template

Hi,
I've a crosstab report requirement in BI Publisher. Suppose I've 2 row-items, 1 column-item(Month) and 3 datapoints. In BI publisher template builder->pivot table wizard I found only option is there to display datapoint columns one after another vertically. So for each Month(column item) 3 columns are coming, total no. of columns for data points: 12x3=36 + 3 Total columns; ie total 39 columns. Also for two row-items 2 columns are coming. So all together in one sheet 41 columns are coming and it has become difficult to manage.
Hence, I want to display the datapoint columns one above another, so that 13 column only (12 columns for datapoints + 1 column for Total) come instead of 39 columns.
Please let me know how can it be done from BI-publisher template builder. Simple XML source taken from a table is used behind this template. Can the requirement be achieved by modifying XML source format or XSL-FO output taken from the template? Please help.
Regards..

How to create RTF template base on SQL in BI Publisher template for word?

Hi,
When i was using XML publisher desktop 5.6.2, i could able to see options Report wizard and SQL under Data menu to create template in MS word. But now i've installed BI Publisher template builder for word and there is no option for SQL or Report Wizard under Data menu. Is it eliminated in new version or did i mistake at install time?
As i have no option for SQL, i just run sql in TOAD and export data as a xml file and just load that data in to MS word as XML Data. it's not bad idea !!!.
Thanks & Regards
Jay

The create report from SQL option was removed from the Desktop tool. Here's what I would recommend.
1. Go to BIP server and create your report and query there (use the online query builder, use SQL Developer, use BI EE, use TOAD)
2. Open Word and login to the BIP Server
3. Browser the report catalog.
4. Open the report you just created online. (This will automatically create a download sample XML)
5. Create your layout
6. From inside word, upload your new template (new Menu option)
The ability to start new templates and update existing templates directly from Word is pretty handy. You no longer have to go back to your browser to upload the lasted copy of your template to the server.

Change the Appraisal Template in Mid of Year.

Hi All,
We want to edit the appraisal template which is being used in Production.
System is allowing to edit the template in development as there are no documents created. Once we transport the change to production what will be the implication.
Q1. Is it recommended to change the template after it is being used.
Q2. If really need to edit the template in mid of appraisal process how do we go forward.
Thanking you in advance.
Kamal R.
Edited by: Nalin Jain on Aug 5, 2009 7:41 AM

Hi Suresh,
We are on ECC 6.0 and SP 43.
We need to put some extra fields / Notes to the targets and extra sub statuses to correctly identify the condition.
But already appraisal process started and documents are created. Now we cannot either create the same documents in new template or postpone the appraisal template change to next year.
In this situation we decided to change the existing template. We want to know what will be the implications if we change the template in development and transport it to production???
Download and upload will create a new template which will not be useful for our case.
Thanking you in advance.
regards,
Kamal.

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

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!
Dan
