Colors in XML Report

Hi All,
We are facing an issue in XML Publisher.
We have to do some color changes in the XML report based on some conditions .
We were able to do that successfully and when we do a preview at our local desktop, the colors reflect very well, but when the same RTF is uploaded in an instance, the colors do not come up.
Can anyone please advice us on the same.
Regards,
Shruti

Printing XML report (with report.xsl stylesheet) shows font colors, but not table highlight colors

I am trying to print the XML report generated by TestStand to a PDF in order to archive it. When the XML report is rendered in Internet Explorer, everything looks fine -- Sequence names are highlighted in teal, Pass is in green, Fail is highlighted in red.
However, when I print this page to a PDF (using BullZip PDF printer, or even the XPS printer), all of the table highlighting is gone. The UUT Result in the header is red or green font color depending on the pass/fail state, but sequence names and any formatting applied to tables within the body of the report have no highlighting.
Is the stylesheet altering what is rendered when the XML file is printed?
This is the output when viewed in IE
This is the output when viewed as a PDF printed from the same file viewed in IE.
Thank you,
Matt

Hey Matt,
This is actually because of a default setting in Internet Explorer to not print background colors on webpages. To change it, simply go to the Page Setup screen (on IE9, you click the gear icon, then Print > Page Setup) and select the option to print background images and colors. After doing this, the printed report should contain the colors you see on your screen.

also where is OPP service log files location ?
Thanks

XML report data output as a email link

Hi Team,
I am in a mid of developing a XML reports using BI Publisher in Oracle EBS 11i.
I am using a procedure to produce to generate my XML tags.
I wish that the data which is displaying a email id as [email protected] i should be able to make it as a hyperlink and if the person click on to this id.
One should be able to send a email to this id.
Any pointers/suggestions will be highly appreciated.

Programmatically transform xml report using Labview

I want to transform the standard xml report from Teststand into a more user-friendly file format for users that need to view reports, but don't have access to the test station. Check out the attached code. It should work, but I get this error. "Objects of type 'Script2' do not have such a member" 'Script2' is referring to the msxsl:script javascript node in the Teststand horizontal.xsl stylesheet.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I agree with kwkengineer. The HTML report is fugly... haha. You can change the colors but I still don't like the format.
kwkengineer,
I was actually trying to do the same thing as you. We have customized our style sheet and now people are complaining because they need it and the xml file to view it. I also don't want to rewrite the HTML generation. I might welcome the task if we were using the new version of TestStand with plugins but we aren't, and it's too expensive to upgrade right now.
I do know that if you right click on the report in the viewer and choose "view source" you will get an html output of your xml report. So my question is, and I dig around some more because I've only spent about an hour on this, how does the viewer in TestStand translate the xml report to the html one that is displayed in it. I noticed there is a TempReport.html in the report folder. However, it disappears when you close the finished execution.
Not sure if any of this is helpful but I will spend some more time routing around.

This path exists? It looks to be an "out" directory - where are your standard reports going and why would your XML reports (for the out files) go somewhere else?

Preflight XML report differs from droplet report

Hi all,
When i create a xml-report 'by hand' with the preflight tool, it generates much more info then when i use the same preflight profile as a droplet.
In this case i want to extraxt info about page-size and color-separations per page. In the 'hand-made' xml-report i can find this information. When i create the droplet, this info isn't there...
Any suggestions?

How to open a form from Oracle XML Report .xls Output?

Hi All,
We have a requirement wherein we have one complex SQL query, requirement is to fetch the data from that query and show it to the user. So far, so good. We can either create a report thru' UTL file to show the output to the user or can create a XML report whose output can be in the excel format.
Now user wants to have a hyperlink i.e. when he clicks the BSA (Blanket Sales Agreement) from the report output, it should be able to route him to BSA screen (oracle form), so that he can directly correct the issue with that corresponding BSA on which he clicked.
i.e. requirement is to create a a hyperlink from report output which will route the user to that oracle form with the BSA queried.
Not sure how can we implement this. If anybody has come across this type of requirement, please share your ideas and the approach used so as to accomplish this. Any inputs on this will be highly appreciated.
Cheers!
-Sumir

Hello Sumir,
we create reports in an XML format using http://matzberger.de/oracle/spreadsheet-en.html.
Within these files you can create hyperlinks to a forms application like
http://<applicationserver>/forms/frmservlet?config=xy&p_autoinit_module=ab&p_autoinit_arg=123
With these parameters we call a default forms module (welcome screen) and then start module ab and execute a query for 123. The user then can directly access the data he needs.

Problem calling XML Report Publisher from Oracle Reports

Hi,
I'm facing a problem in calling XML Report Publisher from Oracle Reports.
Basically, I'm trying to customise Dunning Letter program. The program which is submitted calls another program. I have customised the second program and added a call to a stored procedure which in turn calls XML Report Publisher.I have created a template and attached it to the second program as well.
The procedure code is as follows.
v_request_id := FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST(application => 'AR'
,program => 'ARDLP_NON_SRS'
,description => 'Dunning Letter Print from Dunning Letter Generate'
,sub_request => FALSE
l_status := fnd_concurrent.WAIT_FOR_REQUEST
( REQUEST_ID => v_request_id,
INTERVAL => 15,
MAX_WAIT => 180,
PHASE => l_phase,
STATUS => l_status_code,
DEV_PHASE => l_dev_phase,
DEV_STATUS => l_dev_status,
MESSAGE => l_message );
v_xml_req_id := FND_REQUEST.submit_request(application => 'XDO',
program => 'XDOREPPB',
          argument1 => v_request_id,
argument2 => 'FLS DE AR Dunning Letter Print - German',
argument3 => 603, -- changed 665 -- was 551,
argument4     => NULL,
argument5 => 'N',
argument6     => 'RTF',
          argument7     => 'PDF');
Now, there are two problems I'm facing...
1. when the second program('Dunning Letter Print from Dunning Letter Generate') gets called it executes this procedure ... logically the 'Dunning Letter Print from Dunning Letter Generate' should get called twice ... second time from the procedure. Its getting called multiple times .. as many as 15 - 20 times.
2. The Xml Report Publisher program ultimately gets called but its erroring out with the following error:
java.sql.SQLException: No corresponding LOB data found :SELECT L.FILE_DATA FILE_DATA, DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH(L.FILE_DATA) FILE_LENGTH, L.LANGUAGE LANGUAGE, L.TERRITORY TERRITORY, B.DEFAULT_LANGUAGE DEFAULT_LANGUAGE, B.DEFAULT_TERRITORY DEFAULT_TERRITORY,B.TEMPLATE_TYPE_CODE TEMPLATE_TYPE_CODE, B.USE_ALIAS_TABLE USE_ALIAS_TABLE, B.START_DATE START_DATE, B.END_DATE END_DATE, B.TEMPLATE_STATUS TEMPLATE_STATUS, B.USE_ALIAS_TABLE USE_ALIAS_TABLE, B.DS_APP_SHORT_NAME DS_APP_SHORT_NAME, B.DATA_SOURCE_CODE DATA_SOURCE_CODE, L.LOB_TYPE LOB_TYPE FROM XDO_LOBS L, XDO_TEMPLATES_B B WHERE (L.LOB_TYPE = 'TEMPLATE' OR L.LOB_TYPE = 'MLS_TEMPLATE') AND L.APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME= :1 AND L.LOB_CODE = :2 AND L.APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME = B.APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME AND L.LOB_CODE = B.TEMPLATE_CODE AND ( (L.LANGUAGE = :3 AND L.TERRITORY = :4 ) OR (L.LANGUAGE = :5 AND L.TERRITORY = :6) OR (L.LANGUAGE= B.DEFAULT_LANGUAGE AND L.TERRITORY= B.DEFAULT_TERRITORY ) )
I have checked from database that the XDO_LOBS/ XDO_TEMPLATES_B table has corresponding registration data.
I don't know what's creating the problem.
If anyone has customised the Dunning Letter program before or having any idea about this problem, please help me out ..
Thanks

Problem with the hierarchial fields in a Purchase order xml report

Hi,
I am having a problem with the hierarchy problem. We are populating attribute 15 of a PO header. some times it can be null. FYI, we are using 11.5.10 instance where oracle supports direct PO template rather than having a rdf file.
And now in the xml report, if attribute15 of po header is not null then it is fine.
But if attribute15 is null, then the template is picking from the next available attribute15 that is from the po lines. As the line level group of "LINES" is between the "PO_DATA" (header group), hence the template is checking for next available attribute15.
Can any one please suggest how to design the template where we can make the template to check only for that tag at the header level group rather than the line level group tag?
Thank You in advance.
Regards,
Srinivas.

Creating XML report using PL/SQL Stored Procedure

Hi Friends,
I am working on an xml report with the xml source as PL/SQL Stored Procedure.
I am referring the exercise shown in the following link to understand the process:
   http://orclapp.blogspot.com/2012/02/developing-xml-publisher-report-using.html
In the example shown in the above link I could not understand the following:
1) In the following procedure, the out parameter 'retcode' is not used at all.
   What is the importance of this parameter.
    PROCEDURE REPORT (errbuf OUT VARCHAR2, retcode OUT VARCHAR2, p_product_id   IN     NUMBER)
2) After the xml data is prepared and put to 'l_result' Clob variable, the following
    Loop is executed. I am not able to appreciate why the following loop is required.
     LOOP
         EXIT WHEN l_length = l_retrieved;
         IF (l_length - l_retrieved) < 32000
         THEN
            SELECT SUBSTR (l_result, l_retrieved + 1) INTO l_xmlstr FROM DUAL;
            l_retrieved := l_length;
            fnd_file.put_line (fnd_file.output, l_xmlstr);
         ELSE
            SELECT SUBSTR (l_result, l_retrieved + 1, l_offset)
              INTO l_xmlstr
              FROM DUAL;
            l_retrieved := l_retrieved + l_offset;
            fnd_file.put_line (fnd_file.output, l_xmlstr);
         END IF;
     END LOOP;
3) In the example it is not explained how the concurrent program gets the xml data?
   I assume it is written to a file using the following line of code:
    fnd_file.put_line (fnd_file.output, l_xmlstr);
   I would appreciate if anyone can throw some light into my above queries so that I can understand the process clearly.
Thanks & Regards
Hawker

Hi 32000 in the code is a 'safe' size smaller than the max available 32767, the loops purpose is to move through the entire thing in chunks that will be manageable in the limits of the data type.
Btw; if you are in Oracle e-business suite then you can also use Oracle reports very simply to create XML output.
If you have reports developer all you need to do is put raw sql (without any 'artifice' to create XML) in the report SQL and then set the reports output to XML in the program definition in Oracle e-business.
best regards,
Robert.

Overide XML Report Publisher renaming?

Anyone know if it is possible to prevent the XML Report Publisher report from renaming the concurrent request on completion. This makes it very difficult for users to understand what requests are, especially when they are automatically submitted from other concurrent programs.
For example in EBS 11.5.10+ I have a dunning letter custom where the standard "Dunning Letter Print from Dunning Letter Generate" process submits the bursting program and 2 instances of XML Report Publisher, one for the printed dunning letters and one for the summary report. We could live with the bursting report name but both the XML Report Publisher instances complete with the same name! How is the user supposed to know what is what?
Cheers,
Dave

Glad someone else thinks so!
I can see the reason behind what it does and it's fine for manually submitted "XML Report Publisher" requests but when you get to submitting it from another concurrent program the renaming is a pain, especially if you are submitting multiple reports from the same request (e.g. detail and summary reports). Users just don't know what they are supposed to be looking at!
Hopefully Tim will pick it up but I suspect it will have to be a future fix rather than something we can change right now. Roll on a new release for EBS!
Cheers,
Dave

Unable to load the XML Report

Hi,
I am using TestStand 3.1. Someone before me has developped a lot of things in our application : specific steps, specific process model, ... . Now this person is not here anymore and I have a test report display problem.
After an execution, the execution window cannot display the test report and displays the following message :
"Unable to load the XML Report.
At line 285 End tag 'NOBR' does not match the start tag 'BR'."
Also with Internet Explorer, the test report cannot be displayed (and he locates the error at lign 287) .
Needless to say that I am a poor guy in XML code that's why I am asking you some help.
But, I opened the .xml with a text editor and that is the part of the code which causes the problem :
284 </Prop>
285 <BLOCKQUOTE>
286 <H5><NOBR>Begin Sequence: MainSequence
287 <BR>(X:\DATA_Utilisateur\Florian DENEVE\04_GENERIC\GenericTestMainSeq\GenericTestMainSeq.seq)<BR></BR></H5>
288 <table BORDERCOLOR=#000000 FRAME=BOX RULES=ALL WIDTH=70%><TBODY>
(please, be careful with the lines numbers, because i don't think that IE and TestStand have the same numbering)
I don't know if it's a problem of basic TestStand or if it's due to the new process model and modifications realized by my previous colleague.
Any ideas ?
Thanks in advance for your help.
