Problem: Creating Charts in RTF Templates

I am using BI Publisher Template Builder for Word. I am using Word 2007 and the patch 9821068 of the Template Builder.
I am attempting to create a chart in an rtf template using the chart wizard. I can go through the wizard fine and preview my chart and changes using the preview button.
However, when hit ok a static image of the preview of the chart is inserted into the rtf file and not a bi pub chart “object”. When I right click on the “chart” I do not see the “BI Publisher Chart..” menu item.
When I create a report on the BI Server using the chart template I created above, the chart is not updated. It is just the static image that was inserted by the Template Builder. I tried various data sources for the report and the chart never changes.
Anyone have any ideas whats wrong?
Thanks,
-Matt

Help with customizing chart in rtf template

Since the MS Word plugin doesn't support stock_hilo_close type charts, I'm trying to create one by hand (by looking at the schema). I'm having trouble
a) getting the chart to show the HI, LO and CLOSE marker values. The xsd only talks about how to display the CLOSE marker text, not the HI and LOW.
b) (given enough time, I think I can figure this out) formatting the xml to show the right data. My xml source looks like this:
<ROWSET>
<ROW>
<MONTH>Jun-07</MONTH>
<LOW>1</LOW>
<HIGH>15.9</HIGH>
<CLOSE>5.5</CLOSE>
</ROW>
<ROW>
<MONTH>Jul-07</MONTH>
<LOW>2</LOW>
<HIGH>12.4</HIGH>
<CLOSE>6.5</CLOSE>
</ROW>
</ROWSET>Can someone show me what the <DataValues> element must look like for this structure?

How to customize charts in RTF for BI Publisher

Hello Experts
How can an existing chart in RTF template be customized ?
Can I change the properties of a chart such that values along the Y-axis in the chart are displayed in the reverse order ?
Thanks in Advance.
Amrith.

Hello Rainer
I've tried what you told but I was only able to sort the values on the X-axis but not the Y-axis. The following is my XML definition of the chart. Can you please let me know where can I add the tag order="descending" in my definition.
X-axis has the values of 'ACTIVITY DATE' and
Y-axis has the values of 'SALES'
chart:
<Graph graphType="LINE_VERT_ABS" seriesEffect="SE_AUTO_GRADIENT"><LegendArea visible="false"/>
<Title text="" visible="true" horizontalAlignment="CENTER"/>
<LocalGridData colCount="{count(xdoxslt:group(.//ROW, 'ACTIVITY_DATE1'))}" rowCount="1">

.rtf template and bi server repository failure (newbee tutorial)

I've installed BISE1 on Windows Server 2003 and followed the tutorial. I successfully fulfilled all the excercises except the last one: the creation of Oracle BI Publisher Report from BI Server Metadata. I have created .rtf template in Word. The preview of the template is working showing data. But when I connect to BI Publisher and open From BI Server report and click View I get the message: "The report cannot be rendered because of an error, please contact the administrator." And as the error detail: String index out of range: -1
What could be the reason of that problem? Or where to search for the solution of that problem?
Any help for newbee will be appreciated.
Regards
Adam

Hi,
I am having the exact same issue.
I've created a .rtf template using Oracle BI Publisher Desktop. I insert a very simple table and a very simple Chart (a bar graph) just to test it out. The table and the chart wwere showing correct data in the rtf and the pdf when I preview it on the BI server located on my local machine, and when I click on validate template in word, no errors were found. However when I run the pdf in the client BI Publisher Server, the charts doesn't show up in the pdf output while the other contents (headers, tables) are displayed correctly. If I select the html output in the client BI Publisher server, it gives the same error mention above: The report cannot be rendered because of an error, please contact the administrator." And as the error detail: String index out of range: -1
What security configurations do I have to check? If anyone can give a more detail explanation on this will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Trouble with Group By in RTF Template

Hello All,
I'm very new at RTF Template building, and I've spent hours trying to figure this out with no avail. I'm using BIP Desktop add-in for Word to load in my XML data and create some tables and charts. Right now I'm able to create a detail level table on the RTF, but I want to also create a summary level table. The summary table is where I get stuck, as I can't get my group by statements to work. I've tried to insert a table/form and use the table wizard, but neither work.
My detail level table has customer and shipments (among a few other noncritical fields). I just want a summary table to show customer and total number of shipments (simple count function). Right now, my output looks something like this:
Customer     Customer
Brian Jones     Shipment
     1
     1
     1
     1
     1
     1
     1
     1
     1
So it groups by the customer fine, but doesn't actually count the shipments. It assigns a 1 for each shipment number, but doesn't actually count the fields to give a Brian - 9.
Again, I'm very new at this, so this might be very basic. Also, if there are any good resources on RTF template building, I'd love some help on learning to do this stuff better.
Thanks!
Alex

Don't you want to actually find the sum of the shipments to give you a count of shipments for the customer? Have you tried using the sum function for your shipments field?
You could insert the shipment field, select function sum (from the drop-down menu) and check the 'On grouping' box..
Send me your template and sample XML to [email protected] if you would like.

Xslt graph in a rtf template. Can an external variable be used inside the graph definition?

I'm working with BI Publisher 10g, building an rtf template that would display a table and a graph by iterating on one of the xml tags from the input file.
I got the table working using am xslt variable set when the xml tag associated value changes (DATAGROUPID).
<?for-each:(/DATA/SITE/SITE_DATA)?> <?sort:DATAGROUPID;'ascending';data-type='number'?>
<?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX,'SITE',DATAGROUPID)?>
<?for-each:(/DATA//DIMS/LOCALES[LOCALE = 'en']/TEXT)?><?sort:DIMNAME;'ascending';data-type='text'?>
<?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX,'DIMID',DIMID)?>
<?round(/DATA/SITE/SITE_DATA[DATAGROUPID = xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX,'SITE')]/YEAR[SURVEYYEAR = 2012]/DIM[DIMID = xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX,'DIMID')]/ITEM[ITEMID = 0]/PFAV)?>
<?end for-each?>
chart:

<xsl:variable name="DIMID" select="DIMID"/>
<xsl:value-of select="/DATA/SITE/SITE_DATA/YEAR[SURVEYYEAR = 2012]/DIM[DIMID = $DIMID]/ITEM[ITEMID = 0 and PUNFAV != 0]/PUNFAV"/>
</Cell>
</xsl:for-each>
</RowData>
<RowData>
<xsl:for-each select="/DATA/DIMS/LOCALES[LOCALE = 'en']/TEXT">
<xsl:sort select="DIMNAME"/>
<Cell>
<xsl:variable name="DIMID" select="DIMID"/>
<xsl:value-of select="/DATA/SITE/SITE_DATA/YEAR[SURVEYYEAR = 2012]/DIM[DIMID = $DIMID]/ITEM[ITEMID = 0 and PNEU != 0]/PNEU"/>

</xsl:for-each>
</RowData>
<RowData>
<xsl:for-each select="/DATA/DIMS/LOCALES[LOCALE = 'en']/TEXT">

<xsl:variable name="DIMID" select="DIMID"/>
<xsl:value-of select="/DATA/SITE/SITE_DATA/YEAR[SURVEYYEAR = 2012]/DIM[DIMID = $DIMID]/ITEM[ITEMID = 0 and PFAV !=0]/PFAV"/>
</Cell>
</xsl:for-each>
</RowData>
</DataValues>
</LocalGridData>
</Graph>
<?end for-each?>
So, on the table this line gets the correct variable from the input file:
<?round(/DATA/SITE/SITE_DATA[DATAGROUPID = xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX,'SITE')]/YEAR[SURVEYYEAR = 2012]/DIM[DIMID = xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX,'DIMID')]/ITEM[ITEMID = 0]/PFAV)?>
How can I replicate that logic inside the table definition?
<xsl:value-of select="/DATA/SITE/SITE_DATA/YEAR[SURVEYYEAR = 2012]/DIM[DIMID = $DIMID]/ITEM[ITEMID = 0 and PFAV !=0]/PFAV"/>
Input data looks like this:
<DATA>
- <SITE>
- <SITE_DATA>
<DATAGROUPID>1032817</DATAGROUPID>
<DATAGROUPNAME>My Sales</DATAGROUPNAME>
- <YEAR>
<SURVEYYEAR>2012</SURVEYYEAR>
- <DIM>
<DIMID>1</DIMID>
- <ITEM>
<ITEMID>0</ITEMID>
<PFAV>88</PFAV>
<PNEU>13</PNEU>
<PUNFAV>0</PUNFAV>
- <ITEM>
<ITEMID>40</ITEMID>
<PFAV>100</PFAV>
<PNEU>0</PNEU>
<PUNFAV>0</PUNFAV>
</ITEM>
</DIM>
</YEAR>
</SITE_DATA>
- <SITE_DATA>
<DATAGROUPID>1032816</DATAGROUPID>
<DATAGROUPNAME>Your Sales</DATAGROUPNAME>
- <YEAR>
<SURVEYYEAR>2012</SURVEYYEAR>
- <DIM>
<DIMID>1</DIMID>
- <ITEM>
<ITEMID>0</ITEMID>
<PFAV>71</PFAV>
<PNEU>25</PNEU>
<PUNFAV>4</PUNFAV>
I can include a complete sample on request, I thought this would be enough to illustrate the issue.
I'll appreciate any help you can provide.

I kept researching, I found some possible solution in this blog:
https://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/category/Oracle/Templates/RTF
so, I created a local SITE variable inside every cell to get the external SITE info:
<Cell>
<xsl:variable name="DIMID" select="DIMID"/>
<xsl:variable name="SITE" select="{xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX,'SITE')}"/>
<xsl:value-of select="/DATA/SITE/SITE_DATA[DATAGROUPID = $SITE]/YEAR[SURVEYYEAR = 2012]/DIM[DIMID = $DIMID]/ITEM[ITEMID = 0 and PUNFAV != 0]/PFAV"/>
</Cell>
but I get this error at run time:
oracle.xdo.parser.v2.XPathException: Error in expression: '{xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX,'SITE')}'.

How to round numbers in RTF templates?

Hello!
I'm using BI Publisher for Word (Oracle BI Publisher Builder for Word 10.1.3.4.1) to build a template to my BI Publisher report and I want to calculate this:
avg(X)/(avg(Y)-avg(Z)/0.9)
The result should be rounded to 3 places.
I tried:
<?(sum(X) div count(X)) div ((sum(Y) div count(Y)) - (sum(Z) div count(Z)) div 0.9)?>
and I obtained the expected result.
But, when I try to round in this way:
<?xdofx:round((sum(X) div count(X)) div ((sum(Y) div count(Y))-(sum(Z) div count(Z)) div 0.9),3)?>
I obtain 0 when is expected other value.
Can someone help me?

Hi ,
You can select the number format in RTF template .Double click the Form Field select

Relative path for images in RTF templates

Hi everybody!
When I insert an image in a RTF template, I put its path into the web dialog, in order to see correctly the picture when I open the report from the xmlp server, in this way: url:{"http://servername/analytics/res/Images/image.bmp"}
How can I make this path relative, in order to see the images even if the server name changes?
Thanks so!

Hi Tim,
I am using BIP 10.1.3.3.2. I am able to access system variable CURRENT_SERVER URL.
Steps:
<?param@begin:CURRENT_SERVER_URL?>
<xsl:value-of select="$ CURRENT_SERVER_URL"/>
CURRENT_SERVER_URL is getting printed in BI Publisher. Value displayed is http://xx4697.xxx.co.in:9704/xmlpserver.
Now we are importing xsl into RTF template. File aaa.xsl is stored at [BIP_Installation_Directory\oc4j_bi\j2ee\home\default-web-app]
We have hardcoded the path for XSL in RTF. The path is <?import: http://xx4697.xxx.co.in:9704/aaa.xsl?>
As we want to set dynamic path we changed hardcoded xsl path to <?import: {$CURRENT_SERVER_URL}/../aaa.xsl?> but it is not working. Sometimes BIP is taking local path of MyDocuments folder and sometimes Desktop path. If I put that XSL file in MyDocuments folder or Desktop, it is working fine. But ideally it should refer [BIP_Installation_Directory\oc4j_bi\j2ee\home\default-web-app] path...
Thanks,

Resetting Header and Footer in RTF templates

Hi,
I developed an RTF template (template 1). This template contains start:body and end body for printing the header and footer in all pages. After printing this template then i have to call another template(template 2) from this. I called the template (template 2) using call statement. But the probelm is that the header and footer of template1 is printed in the output of template2 .
I dont want to print this header and footer for template 2. Can anyone please suggest me in doing this. I placed start:body and end body in the second template with the assumption that 1st template's header and footer will be overwritten. But if i preview then am getting the error
Font Dir: C:\Program Files\Oracle\XML Publisher Desktop\Template Builder for Word\fonts
Run XDO Start
RTFProcessor setLocale: en-us
FOProcessor setData: C:\Documents and Settings\kpoda\Desktop\Invoice Printing Efficiencies\Sample XML Data\Sample Output4.xml
FOProcessor setLocale: en-us
each
Please sugget.
Thanks

Hi,
Do you have two templates (template1 & template2) that you want to display in the same document where the pages for template1 has one set of header and footers; and template2 has another set of header and footer?
If that is the case you can simply create a new section in your rtf template so you have section1 and section2.
In the body of section1 you call template1 and template2 in the body of section2.
You can then have different header and footers for the two templates in the same document.

Complex if statement in rtf template?

Conditional statements, in the user guide or the report developer guide, depending on the version you use.
Page 7-62 in the 10.1.3.2 user guide:
Use an if statement to define a simple condition; for example, if a data field is a specific value.
1. Insert the following syntax to designate the beginning of the conditional area.
<?if:condition?>
2. Insert the following syntax at the end of the conditional area: <?end if?>.
For example, to set up the Payables Invoice Register to display invoices only when the Supplier name is "Company A", insert the syntax <?if:VENDOR_NAME='COMPANYA'?> before the Supplier field on the template.
Enter the <?end if?> tag after the invoices table.Thanks for the reply. But what about two conditions in one if statement? That was my question. :)

How to call a rtf template from another rtf template by passing a value

Hi Gurus,
Its about calling a rtf template from another rtf template by passing a value.
My requirement is like:
I got a quote report from Siebel, based on the product PartNumber I need to pull product description or literature from another database database.
My approach is something like; get a partnumber from quote report pass it to another rtf template which uses the partnumber and get the data from table using DataSource. When user pull a quote report from siebel this new rtf template should attach to the quote at the end.
I've gone through all available blogs about sub-reports and white papers from Oracle they are not much helpful since I need step-by-step.

I'm using 10g obiee integrated with Siebel.
Just started learning BIP.

How to call a rtf template from another rtf template by passing a value try in main template create hyperlink of url with parameters for another template
http://bipconsulting.blogspot.ru/2010/02/drill-down-to-detail-or-another-report.html
When user pull a quote report from siebel this new rtf template should attach to the quote at the end.it'll be only another report
IMHO you can not attach it to main. it'll be second independent report
you can try subtemplate but it's not about rtf from rtf by click
it's about call automatically rtf subtemplate from main rtf based on some conditions
for example, main template contain some data and if some condition is true then call subtemplate and place it instead of its condition

Print Quote the report is in PDF but need to be new RTF template

We have 11.5.10 apps, the Quote screen is an OAF screen.
When clicking Print Quote the report is in PDF, They want to include a new RTF template for printing instead of PDF.
The new RTF template is created. But what I do not know is how the quote screen will take the new template. I can use XMLP to upload the RTF template but that may not be sufficient to make it appear in the Quote screen.
I am looking at the profile ASO:Default Layout Template. Am I headed the right way?

Rtf template not showing as uploaded in concurrent program

Hello
I have created xml data definition and uploaded a rtf template. Then linked it to my concurrent program. But when i ran the concurrent program successfully all i get is the xml output. Upon closer inspection it shows that no template is uploaded. Yet in xml publisher it shows as uploaded.
so my question is: what can prevent a rtf template from attaching to a concurrent program?

If you and send the template, it would be helpful.
