Conditional pdf Output for a report

Hi, depending on the value for one particular filed in my XML, I need to generate the pdf output.
For eg.. If Reqd = 'N', I don't want the XML publisher to generate the pdf output else if the value is 'Y', it should generate the output.
In my current implmenetation, The pdf report is getting generated for all cases.. i need to put the above mentioned check to restrict it .
If you have an idea on how to acheive it, please let me know.
Thanks and Regards
Madhu

Hi,
The first thing you'll need to do is to create a form field before any content in your rtf file.
The form field shall contains the following code in the Add help text:
<?if:REQD='N'?>Restricted content..<?end if?>
<?if:REQD='Y'?>The next form field shall be placed in the bottom of your file, containing:
<?end if?>I hope that helps.

Issue in PDF output for xml report

Hi,
I developed one template in RTF and output in pdf is looks fine.
I have issue in the output, For some invoices i have more lines,when the line details comes to next page for the same invoice i can able to view only the lines information in the next pages for the same invoice without any header details.
I need header information too if the lines comes to the next page.
i given <G_Headers> in the top of the page and <End for each> in the end of the page.
please how to resolve this issue.
with regards
Ram

There are lot of ways of doing this,
Simple one is given here.
If you are using table to display the rows, there is option in word table properties, to repeat the header in each page,
Repeating table headers
If your data is displayed in a table, and you expect the table to extend across
multiple pages, you can define the header rows that you want to repeat at the start
of each page.
1. Select the row(s) you wish to repeat on each page.
2. From the Table menu, select Heading Rows Repeat

Cancel_flag in PO Output for Communication report

I'm trying to build logic into an RTF template for the "PO Output for Communication" report to handle cancelled lines. The cancel_flag can be set to "Y" at any of 3 levels - PO Header, PO Line and PO shipment. The field is called the same thing (cancel_flag) at all 3 levels but it doesn't always exist at all 3 levels. What do I call the field in my "IF" statement, so that it is looking at the correct field? Right now, if I am at the line level and I want to check the cancel_flag, if it doesn't exist, it looks at the cancel_flag at the shipment level.

have to see your for-each statements.
and you can do it, by using .. to go up one level
example from current level to go up4 level up ../../../../CUSTOM_FLAG
../../../CUSTOM_FLAG three lvl up.
Need to know the cancel_flag element you said, i can see only one :) in the given xml.

Add new font to PO Output for Communication Report

I'm trying to add a new font (Edwardian Script ITC) to the PO Output Communication report. I have added the font file through XML Publisher Administrator, and I have an RTF template report and a test XSL-FO report both correctly displaying the font. The PO Output for Communication report is not displaying the font and I believe it has something to do with the fact that it is a java concurrent program.
Any ideas on what additional steps need to be done to get this font to show up on the PO Output for Communication? Has anyone been successful in adding a different font to this report?
Thanks,
Suzanne

My RTF template is showing the font, and my test XSL-FO template is showing the font. The PO Output for Communication XSL-FO template is NOT showing the font.
I even tested by replacing the PO Output for Communication template file with my test template file. When I do that the font not applied in the PO Output for Communication report, even though it was applied using the same template in a test report.

Excel Output for Standard Reports using XML Publisher

Hi All,
Customer wants to get Excel Output for the existing Standard/Custom Reports using XML Publisher. I followed the following procedure.
1. Changed the output to XML for Concurrent program ( Trial Balance - Detail )
2. Used the Existing seeded Template
3. Ran the Report using EXCEL as the output.
When I clicked on View Output, I am not able to see the Excel output. I am seeing the HTML tags in the output window. Verified that Viewer Options existed for Excel as follows:
File Format=Excel, Mime Type=application/vnd.ms-excel.
When I ran the report with PDF output. I can see the PDF output.
Ran the HTML output with new Viewer Option ( File Format=HTML, Mime Type=application/vnd.ms-excel) then I can see the output in Browser in the Excel format. I did this test after going through the Metalink Note: Note:316752.1
My question is.. Do I need always choose the HTML ouput in the options window to trigger the Viewer option for HTML. Customer may not like this idea. He would like to choose the Excel Output and see the output in Excel format either in the Browser or Microsoft Excel.
Can someone in this situation before help me out.
Thanks,
V

Questions rephrase:
1. Is the output is same for HTML and Excel options ?
2. Why the output is viewable with HTML option and not with Excel option ?
Customer has XML Publisher Version 5.0.1 and in the process of applying 5.6.1
Thanks,
V

Hi,
Welcome to forum !!!
Your buyer work center form basically points to standard PO functionality and bring all info in 1 page for buyer. Please check PO Output for Communication process for details.
One more query is : How can I indentify this PDF PO report output belongs to which concurrent program?
Ans : I believe "PO Output for Communication" ( it's a request in POXPOPDF module) which generate the PDF, its a Java concurrent program.*
Hoep this will help.

Regression testing on PDF output files from Reports?

My current client is looking to do more automated regression testing of the output (content) of their reports, most of which are output from Reports6i into Adobe Acrobat PDF file format. Is anyone currently using or aware of a tool (QARun, WinRunner, etc.) that will do this? (Most of the tools can do a binary comparison of the PDF files that were output, but we need something that will look into the PDF files themselves and tell us where any differences are found in the actual content (text) of the report itself.)
Thanks in advance for any info anyone can provide!

Dear Nick,
Just ensure a printer is configured. This can be done by typing in echo $PRINTER at the $Prompt.
If it returns null then configurea printer and i fell this should resolve your problem,
Since it did resolve my problem.

Ditafm-output.ini and PDF output for different situations

I'm using a DITA 1.2 structured app and templates that I've set up. I'm generally happy with the output that I'm getting now, but I've also come to realize that I have two different situations for PDF output--in situation one, I need to set up for printed books, i.e., facing pages, keeping chapters starting on right-hand pages and so on. Situation two is for electronically-distributed PDFs that are NOT books--files that customers might print themselves, probably not double-sided, so I don't need facing pages with the associated blank pages in the file, and so on.
I'm using flags in the ditafm-output.ini file to control the pagination for the printed book in my output. Both situations currently use the same output templates, though I may create a single-sided template for situation two. That's easy enough.
My question, then, is this: It seems to me that I'll need two different ditafm-output.ini files for the two situations. Is there an easy way to switch between them? Output seems separate from the structured application, and I don't need or want two separate apps.
The best I can think of at the moment is to create a second ditafm-output.ini file with the settings I want for situation two, name it ditafm-output_foo.ini and change it to the "real" name when I need it. This, of course, introduces a potential overwrite disaster. Naturally, I'll keep backups.
Unless there's a better way??

That's the only way I can think of using "default" Frame to support multiple output types. To make it less error-prone you might set up batch files that do the copying .. just run the right batch file before you build each type of book.
OR .. you could use DITA-FMx which lets you define an INI file for each book-build (and provides many more features).

ALV output for Purchase reports

Hi Friends,
How can I have ALV output for my Purchase reports like ME2L, ME2N, ME2M. My scope of Lists do not have ALV output as yet. How do we configure it..?
Thanks in advance.
Sarvesh

which ECC version are you working on? I think versions below 4.7 didnt have ALV (im not sure though)
Try this path :
SPRO->Materials mgmt->purchasing->Reportng->Maintain Purchasing lists->Scope of lists->Define scope of list.
check if ALV is maintained here. if not , create ZALV by Copying from ALLES or make your own new one ZALV , and inside ZALV , make sure to Tick the "Use ALV grid Control" in the last tab "settings for ALV grid control"

No XML output for a report Oracle 11.5.10.2 RDBMS 10.2.0.5.0

I created a very simple rdf and ran it without problems.
I then generated an .xml file and loaded this into into the template builder using xml publisher.
I created the rtf and using xml Publisher administrator created a template and data definition for my report (TESTRDF)
"The xml page cannot be displayed
Cannot view xml input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.
The following tags were not closed: TESTRDF5, LIST_G_VENDOR_NAME. Error processing resource 'http://cc002101.smart.star.net...
Here is an example of the xml

"

I would recommend checking the content of the file on the server. The problem with displaying an XML file through the browser is that it won't always display it properly, for example if there is a character id doesn't recognise.
Having opened up the original file, yuo should be able to see the issue more easily.
