Concurrent programs - adding output format

hi all,
how do you add other output formats in the concurrent programs form in Oracle Applications : 11.5.10.2?
the options i have are limited to HTML, FO, PCL, PDF, XML. i need to add Excel or XLS if possible.
thanks
allen

Hi Srini,
Thanks for the suggestion.
I'm not sure if this is applicable to my situation as I'm using a PL/SQL Stored Procedure to generate the Excel. Then run this as a Request. Afterwards, I click the View Output to view the file.
I am using the FND_FILE.PUT_LINE(fnd_file.output, string) package to create the file and currently has the extension of PCL but it doesn't automatically open in Excel. I'm guessing Excel does not recognize the file format but it is able to open it if I do it manually.
Not really my idea but it is the client's request.
Thanks,
Allen

Output from Concurrent program in XML format for bytes greater than 32K

Hi,
I created a custom concurrent program where i send the generated XML data as an output to the program.
I have an XML template attached to the program, so the template picks up the xml output and converts it to a PDF.
so ultimately when i run the concurrent program, the output is a PDF file. This way it is easy for the user to just run a program and get a PDF file.
Now the generated XML data is from an oracle seeded program and it is a BLOB.
I am converting it to a CLOB so that i can write it to the output. if the CLOB doesnt exceed 32K bytes, i have no issues writing it to the output.
But since we cannot write more than 32K bytes, i an using a substr to write chunks of the CLOB for every 30,000 bytes.
since it is chunking at every 30,000 bytes the next 30,000 bytes are coming in the next line and XML publisher is throwing an error with invalid character.
Any idea how i can overcome this?
Either i write the whole 33000+ bytes in one line to the fnd output or try to remove the line breaks from the xml data.
Thanks in advance for anyone reading this!

Any idea how i can overcome this?So I suppose you're using FND_FILE.PUT_LINE ?
Why not use FND_FILE.PUT instead, so that no new line is generated after each chunk ?

How to customize the Java Concurrent Program(PO Output for Communication)

Hi,
How to customize the Java Concurrent Program(PO Output for Communication)
I need to add the Line level Ship To Address ,Line Notes and Extended Price fields on Java Concurrent Program.
Please any body help/guide me in this regard.

Hi,
Changing Java Conc. program for "PO Output for Communication" is difficult.
Actually, if you observe closely, "PO Output for Communication" program uses PO<HEADER/LINES..>_XML views.
So if you could change these views and add your requireed columns to it, you can automatically see your changes in XML data file.
See if the following link will you to get there.. http://chandramatta.blogspot.com/

Concurrent generating wrong output format with TEXT as output type

Hi,
I have create a custom rdf and set TEXT as its output type.
I want the text output to be specific format but the concurrent is not generating the exact expected output.

And Actually i am trying to generate this output format type because , wer are using Zebra Printer to print lable and it is a XML enabled bprinter and understand this specifice XML DTD type. We found when set Output type to XML, it was not generating XML in accordance with DTD which Zebra printer understand Hence we are tring to use TEXT output.
Please suggest.

I get the solution for this issue.
The solution is to use XML Publisher etext temaplate.
Etext is used to get text output in any format.

My Concurrent Program PDF output is in Russia instead of in English. Why?

I have selected Format as PDF and Style as "Landscape" and I am using English version as many others. Why am i getting Russian(or its some other language I really dont know that script) characters when I run the report?
I am using
RDBMS : 10.2.0.2.0
Oracle Applications : 11.5.10.2
Oracle Forms Version : 6.0.8.27.0
Application Object Library : 11.5.0
Please suggest me to get English font in my PDF output file.
I forgot to mention that I am able to see output in english when I run the report with Format as "Text".

Since your characterset is set to UTF8, generating any report in PDF format (with or without printing) is not supported. Oracle Reports 6i cannot generate PDF output with multi-byte characters. In Oracle Applications 11i with Oracle Reports 6i, PDF output is supported for only Latin-1 character sets such as US7ASCII, WE8ISO8859P1 or WE8MSWIN1252.
Under UTF8, generating PDF via the XML Publisher is supported and it can be done. Alterative workaround is to use another format like Postscript (Assuming that PASTA is already installed and configured).

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!! :-)

XML output for pdf concurrent program

Hi,
We have one custom concurrent program defined with output as pdf.
We want to generate an xml output some times. We dont want to register another concurrent program.
We want to use same concurrent program, but want to generate output some times pdf , some times xml.
Please suggest whether any possible way of doing this even using CONCSUB also fine.
Thank you,
Venkat.

Hi Ramana;
We want to submit the concurrent program, but output type either as xml or pdf it will be known during runtime.AFAIK if you prepare template in XML publisher than you can take output as pdf, by the way you can take xml output too
Please check user guide:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/xml-publisher/docs/XMLP5.6.1UserGuide.pdf

XML Publisher is not integrating with Reports 10g Concurrent program

Hello,
I created report in reports 10g. Saved report in the custom_top/reports/US. Created a concurrent program for the report with output as XML. Created a Data Definition with the same short name as the concurrent program and created a template used the same short name as the Data Definition, associated template with the data definition. Uploaded the .rtf file to the template.
The issue i have is when i run the concurrent program the output is xml tags rather than the xml publisher report.
Any help will be appreciated.

Hello Hussein,
Thanks.
Before I could ask the DBA to chage the DIPLAY parameter, I could see error in FNDOPP*.txt file, as some issue with tag "split-by-page-break".
Accordingly I removed the tag from the template file ( RFT File). Now the request is getting Completed with Normal status. And generating the PDF output.
I found a hit in the metalink for this issue, which suggests a PATCH 4206181 (XDO.5.5) to get this functionality.
Accordingly the PATCH is applied.
Now when trying to query the template name from the XML Publisher Administrator Responsiblity, page is getting errored with the below message.

Font 3 of 9 is not comming in default concurrent program submition

HI All,
i am using font free 30of9 to print barcodes in XML PDF output reports in oracle applications
everything is working fine.
issue is when i give printer name while sub-meeting the concurrent request it is printing the report with out barcode and concurrent request is completed normal when i open the request output it showing the barcode .
in pdf file of that request.
steps i fallowed
defined concurrent program with output XML printing style pdf publisher
2)created the font mappings
3)created template and data definition .
Process
When we submit the concurrent request we can select the printer name so that output will directly prints
its printing the report with out barcode
Kindly help me how get it done
Sandeep.Y

I think there's issues with that Barcode TrueType font and Java.
You can try a Java app (such as the sample demo app that comes with Java) and try viewing that font.
You'd need to use a different barcode font.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

Output of the concurrent program in PDF - Reg

Hi All,
I have a requirement wherein i have to get the output of the concurrent program as a pdf file.
I'm using the report file (.rdf) as the executable.
When I'm giving the output as PDF in program definition, it errors out.
The report is very complex and using XML publisher for getting a PDF output will be tedious one.
Any pointers or tutorials will be of great help.
Regards,
Mohan

Hi,
"Program was terminated by signal 11
Concurrent Manager encountered an error while running Oracle*Report for your concurrent request ********.
Review your concurrent request log and/or report output file for more detailed information."
The error message was not specific and i could not make out what it is.Please make sure that the DISPLAY is set properly as per (Note: 377748.1 - Postscript And PDF Reports Complete With 'Program Was Terminated By Signal 11'). Also, verify the value of Tk2Motif*fontMapCs as per (Note: 396336.1 - PDF Reports Fail With Program Was Terminated By Signal 11). Make sure you bounce the CM each time you do any modification.
And regarding XML, can i get the PDF output from the concurrent program itself without using the XML publisher,by setting the output style as PDF??????Yes you can, create the concurrent program using reports builder and register it in the application with a PDF output format. If your database characterset is UTF8, then I believe you need to use XML publisher.
Regards,
Hussein

Format changing after running the concurrent program for indentation

Hi
I have got an issue regarding indentation in rtf template. Actually in the template I have indentation or numbering in one format like david but after running the concurrent program in the temlate output I am getting the numbering in Latin letters. like
I
II
III
etc.
can anyone please send me the resolution for this issue.
Thanks and regards

What is the application release?
If you are on 11i, please make sure you have (Patch 8198363: INDENTATION PROBLEM WHILE GENERATING RTF OUTPUT USING RTF TEMPLATE) applied and check then.
