Charts in BI Publisher

Hi All,
I am facing a problem in BI Pub while designing the layout for charts/graphs.
Below are the steps I have followed.
Step 1: Generated and Exported the XML by passing the parameter, for eg: 'Project A'.
Step 2: Opened the MS-Word 2007 and loaded the data successfully.
Step 3: Click on insert and select "Chart" and selected the type of graph as "Bar Graph - Vertical".
Step 4: Drag and droped the required columns to X-Axis and Y-Axis.
Step 5: Saved it as an .rtf and uploaded the to BI Pub into Oracle EBS.
Till here its fine, but the problem is below steps.
Step 6: When I run the report by passing the parameter as 'Project B', it still shows the 'Project A' data. Looks like these charts are appearing it as static images rather based on dynamic data.
Can anyone help me in this regard.
Am I missing any step.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Avinash,
Thanks for your reply.
When I preview the data from Template Builder, it was working fine. But the same didn't work properly when I deployed it in EBS Application.
Moreover, I have found the solution for this. Here it goes...
1. When I create a chart, there would be xml code gets generated behind it. Double click on the chart, in the popup, go to Advance tab. Copy the <xml code>. (Make sure you have loaded the xml schema first)
2. Close the popup. Right click on the chart, select 'Size' option. In the popup, go to 'Alt Text' tab, and type "chart:" and paste <xml code>. "chart:" is must.
3. Save the .RTF file and upload it into Oracle EBS application and run the concurrent program.
The above steps worked fine for me by using MS-Word 2007.
Thanks,
Harish Nunna

How to build a gantt chart with BI Publisher

Hi everybody, I need to create a gantt chart with BI Publisher. I had a look to the document "Getting Gantty" from the blog:
http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/2008/01/getting_gantty.html
but I don't understand in which way:
1. build the data template in order to replicate the XML code in the article
2. build and link the yellow bar which dynamically increases its length according to the meeting duration
Anybody already tried to implement something similar ? I didn't still found a real example about how to do it......
I need a help, please
Thanks in Advance

Yes that is the only option which we can stop a running report in BI Publisher
I suspect you'll need to ask your DBA to kill the session.
However, if you have DBA privileges yourself, you can do this by a few methods, some of which are described here:

Chart problems when publishing to Crystal Enterprise

Hi All,
I am currently experiencing Chart problems when publishing to Crystal Enterprise. My reports work fine in Crystal Developer but when I publish these to Enterprise, the charts do not show any data, although the numbers come across fine.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Marc

Hi Marcbo,
Just try to publish the report with no data option to enterprise.
Change the type of viewer to HTML or DHTML.
Some times reports dont work with activex viewer.
In general charts dosent throw any problem.

Advice request : incorporating graphs/charts within XSQL publishing framework

I wonder if anyone out there could offer any useful suggestions.
I am fairly comfortable with using XSQL to produce fairly advanced web pages.
However, if I wanted to incorporate graphics, specifically graphs and charts, what is the best way of going about this.
All the data that I require to plot the graphs/charts would reside in the database.
I guess Java will be involved, but how would I invoke rountines that would generate graphs/charts on the fly and embed these jpgs/gifs into my XSLT transformed XSQL web pages? Would XSQL action handlers be the best option, for example?
I would prefer to avoid SVG due to the plug-in requirement for web browsers.
Any code samples would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Hi Jeff,
You can use Oracle Business Intelligence Graph bean component for generating Graph on the server side.
oracle.dss.graph.Graph
This bean provides methods to create graph in GIF, PNG, JPG format. This bean can be used with non OLAP data source too.
See
http://otn.oracle.com/products/bib/content.html
You can also used 'Persepcitve for Java' shipped with JDdeveloper.
See <oracle-home>/jlib/Lw_PfjBean.jar
Thanks,
Sathish.

I'm not near my Epson right now, so I don't have the exact details. But I suggest you try this:
Use Epson iPrint. Click on the WorkForce 520 printer, then choose "Advanced Options" down near the bottom.
As I recall, one of the options has to do with setting up the printer to work with iPrint (or maybe verifying it's been set up correctly).
See if that helps.
By the way, there is also a "Firmware Update" there in those Advanced Options. You should definitely do that as well.

Not able to modify the number of horizontal divisional lines in chart

Hi,
I have inserted a chart using BI publisher. Currently there are 5 horizontal divisional lines and the y-axis values are divided accordingly. I want to change the number of horizontal divisional lines (maybe 7). I tried to use LocalRelationalData with RowKeyCount but it didn't work.
Thanks,

Dynamic chart scale

Hi!
I'm working on a Line chart in Desktop Publisher, with this data:
<LocalGridData colCount="{count(xdoxslt:group(.//ROW, 'saw_2'))}" rowCount="{count(xdoxslt:group(.//ROW, 'saw_0'))}">
<DataValues>
<xsl:for-each-group xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" select=".//ROW" group-by="saw_0">
<RowData>
<xsl:for-each-group select="current-group()" group-by="saw_2">
<Cell>
<xsl:value-of select="sum(current-group()/saw_4)"/>
</Cell>
</xsl:for-each-group>
</RowData>
</xsl:for-each-group>
</DataValues>
</LocalGridData>
How can I dynamically set the scale of the Y1 axis (with the lowest value - 100, for example)?
If I set the axisMinAutoScaled="true" it starts from 0 and it's not the scale I want.
Thanks so!
DrPlexi

Hi Tim!
The problem is that I have some NaN in my data, and maybe that's why my axis scale starts from 0.
Here's an example of my data:
series1: 1,822,475 1,586,400 2,493,331 2,095,273 2,049,296
series2: 1,818,471 1,706,074 2,574,133 2,042,269 1,982,151
series3: 2,073,949 1,721,527 2,493,331 NaN NaN
The automatic scale is from 0 to 2,800K.
I'd like to have a scale from 1,200K to 2,800K: I want to take the lowest value (1,706,074) and set the scale at a point immediately below in the grid.
Is it possible to dinamically set a property in the xml linked to the lowest data value?
Thanks so!
DrPlexi

Simple chart example needed

Hi
I'm looking for a simple example of how to create a chart in XML Publisher. So far all my attempts have failed (and I've been trying for two days). In fact simple examples would be of use in all Oracle's pages.
I have tried my own XML data, data from the XML Publisher forums, etc. but the chart wizard either comes up with a Java error or the chart has only one series showing.
Is there a specific format that the chart xml has to be in? Do you have to use a grouping?
The XML Publisher Desktop "Template Builder for Word Tutorial.doc" file mentions the "RetailSales.xml" file and explains how to create a chart with this, but sadly this file is nowhere to be found in the installation directory or the web.
A simple step by step example somewhere would be much appreciated. Thanks a lot for a wonderfull tool like XML Publisher, by the way.
Thanks

Checkout the CoDash.rtf file from the xmlpserver\reports\Executive\Sales Dashboard folder. This report is standard there when you installed XML Publisher Enterprise Edition.
This report contains several charts and all the definitions of the chart are location in the properties of the chart under the Web tab.
eg.
chart:
<Graph graphType="PIE">
<Title text="" visible="true" horizontalAlignment="CENTER"/>
<LocalGridData rowCount="{count(xdoxslt:group(.//ROW, 'SALESREP'))}" colCount="1">
<RowLabels>
<xsl:for-each-group select=".//ROW" group-by="SALESREP">
<xsl:sort select="SALESREP"/>
<Label><xsl:value-of select="current-group()/SALESREP"/></Label>
</xsl:for-each-group>
</RowLabels>
<DataValues>
<xsl:for-each-group select=".//ROW" group-by="SALESREP">
<xsl:sort select="SALESREP"/>
<RowData>
<Cell><xsl:value-of select="sum(current-group()/ORDER_TOTAL)"/></Cell>
</RowData>
</xsl:for-each-group> </DataValues>
</LocalGridData>
</Graph>

BI PUBLISHER 11G : Automatic Filtering Doubt

Hello.
I have one pivot table with same data and one data table with other data from different dataset. Both dataset are joined.
What i want to do is when i run the report the data from pivot table is showed and the data from data table is not showed until i click in one row in the pivot table.Actually the data from both tables are showed and i want by default only to show the pivor table data.
Other problem is when i have one line in pivot table without matches in data table i recieve this error message : "Error Ocurred" .
Someone have an ideia how to fix this 2 problem?
I'am using the last version of Bi publisher 11g.
Thanks in Advance.
Paulo Duarte

Raphael,
From reading your problem description, it sounds like you are working with BI Publisher that you have installed as part of OBIEE. Is that correct?
I also think that you have built the charts in BI Publisher, not Answers and have set up the filters using BI Publisher, not Answers. Is that correct?
The screen shots both look to be from BI Publisher.
Have you used Answers at all in constructing this report?
If not then I think that the best place for your question to be answered is in the BI Publisher sub-space. We can move your question there if you would like.
One final question, is OBIEE the data source for the report?
Regards,
Ian Bristow

BI Publisher Charts not getting displayed in concurrent program output

Hi,
I am using BI Publisher version 11.1.1.3.0 on Windows 7 with word 2007. After creating the Bar chart in RTF template of BI publisher when I load sample XML data and check it in "Preview" is displays the output correctly.
My requirement is to print the charts in concurrent program's output on EBS version 12.1.1. (preferably HTML but PDF will also do) However when I run the concurrent program which processes the data definition and the RTF template registered for this report, the output is just an image of the chart. The XML output generated by the program is not reflected in the chart display at all. (I have verified that XML is generated properly)
Can someone please let me know if there is some setup required to make the charts display properly in concurrent program output?
I have also tried BI publisher version 10.1.3.2.1 for this. With this the concurrent program output is just blank. Not even an image is displayed.
p.s. The program uses standard executable XDODTEXE (which is normally used to run BI publisher reports)
Thanks,
Archana

Hi,
I have finally found solution to this issue....
Two setups are required to display the charts in the concurrent program's PDF output:
1. We need to edit the variables CLASSPATH and AF_CLASSPATH. These variables should have the complete path added for the xdoparser.zip file on the server.
2. The DISPLAY variable should be correctly setup to direct the server output.
Also as per my findings so far, the BI (XML) publisher version 11.1.1.3.0 (or any 11g) does not work with EBS (at least for charts). We need to use BI publisher version which is XML 5.6.3 compatible for EBS. This version is 10.1.3.2.1. (patch 12395372) Now this 10g version does not work on Windows 7 so you need to use Windows XP!
With this... finally... your charts should be getting displayed in EBS output...
Cheers!! :-)
