Convert XML Publisher (5.6.3) to BIP Enterprise (11.1.5)

We have number of reports in EBS XMLP that need to be migrated to BIP Enterprise. I really don't want to do this by hand one at a time. I remember reading that there is a utility to do exactly this. Can someone point me to where/how of this utility?
Thanks in advance

Hi Paul
1. Yes,
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/publishing/index.html
BI Publisher Desktop 10.1.3.2.1 for Microsoft Windows this is the 5.6.3 release in the guise of 10.1.3.2.1
2. Yes, but with some caveats. Im going to document in a few days on theblog.

  • XML Publisher to BI Publisher - Report Upgrade

    Hi all,
    Would like to know what the procedure is, if any, to convert XML Publisher Reports to BI Publisher report formats after an upgrade?
    Thanks

    are you talking about RTF templates ?
    I dont think, you have to convert all of them .
    if it works in XMLP, it shud work in BIP too...
    Both are same product with different version.

  • Converting Oracle Reports to XML Publisher

    Hello,
    I've been trying to convert my Oracle Reports to use XML Publisher templates and make the canned reports more visually appealing. I've been following the steps described in note 295409.1 on metalink to change OR output to XML and calling the XMLP Engine to apply the template.
    However I'm encountering errors when XMLP is calling the template. In order to jump start my template development, I've used the utility in Release 12 to change the RDF file into the PL/SQL packages and RTF template. Then I am attempting to reengineer these templates back into 11.5.10 and uploading them via XML Publisher Administrator. I am experiencing the errors described in the following forum thread:
    XML Publisher error..urgent
    I've located the problem within the template itself, but is this because of the conversion utility in release 12 (XML Version 5.6.3) is not compatible with our current XMLP version of 5.6.2 in 11i?
    Any assistance would be helpful.
    Thanks!

    This could have something to do with the fact that your printer is not set up correctly. Can you run a plain text (OReports) file output to the same printer? If not, then the printer is not set up in FND correctly. If you can ...
    Remeber that unless you have a more modern printer that can handle PDF documents natively then XMLPs PDF is going to need to be converted to PS or PCL. I would suggest you investigate the PASTA printer driver and get that set up. It provides the ability to call a program pdf2ps for instance, to convert the PDF to PS. There is a bunch of info on metalink

  • Converting a simple Oracle Report to XML Publisher report template

    Hello,
    I have a simple Oracle Report 9i which displays data from four tables. It uses three different queries to get the data. How can I simply generate a template file(say RTF) or atleast an XML source from that report? I tried joining the queries (like outer join) but wasn't able to get the format which report 9i was generating. Could anyone please help me out with a clear approach?

    Hi,
    Are you referring to how to get xml out put from seeded report i mean from EBS that already in oracle reports,
    then you need to query from respective application by creating new concurrent program and then change the out put to XML, you will get xml file then save it to your system.
    By using this input xml fle you can create RTF template whatever you want the foramat, after that you upload back this RTF file to EBS using XML PUBLISHER ADMINISTRATOR responsibility.
    hope this might give you idea,
    let us know if it is not clear or you are asking different question,

  • XML Publisher report giving XML tag output

    Dear All,
    Please note that we need to convert the standard report 'Bill of Material Comparison Report' to XML Publisher report.
    But we were not able to get the desired PDF output instead it shows only XML output.
    This report is not a direct concurrent program call to rdf, this concurrent program is triggered from a function.
    How can we overcome this issue..,
    Please update,
    Many thanks...,

    Hi Kiran,
    Please find the below info:
    Could you please confirm whether you have made the standard program's executable as 'XDODTEXE', and created a data definition with the rdf shorname and Data templte with the template defined.
    -- Done
    Could you also provide how your calling the report and when the request submitted are u able to see the template name on the submitted request ?
    -- The report is called through the application (in Bill of materials through a Form Function) When we select the comparison, it will display a comparison form, where we need to select the appropriate parameters and a button called 'Report' if clicked, it will fire the 'Bill of Material Comparison Report' concurrent program
    But after the concurrent program submission, we cannot see any template been attached to the submitted conc. pprog. but the template is been already attached to the concurrent program through the XML Publisher Administrator
    Many thanks....

  • XML Publisher report not printing excel output due to special characters

    Hello,
    I am trying to create a xml publisher report which should display the output in excel. But the program completes with a warning status and the output is displayed as XML instead of excel, with some errors "An invalid character was found in text content. Error processing resource " and i think these errors are due to the special characters(eg: city/province - A Coruña, Cáceres). If i give rownum < 10 in my query, where there are no such characters it works fine and i am getting an excel output.
    Tried changing the XML encoding and it doesn't help (both mentioned below)
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    Do anyone have a solution for this

    Hi Dev,
    You can try below ways
    1>change the setting in table properties to fit table cell as per contents.
    2>or create a table and inside that create one more inner table and add your fields.
    3>or Create .XLS layout it will come properly.

  • Hide column in the adress if it is null and print next line in XML publishe

    Hi,
    I'm converting oracle report to XML publisher report.
    I craeted template rtf with word. everything works fine.
    Except address prints null coumns if it is null.
    I used if condition in template. something like this...
    <?if:B_ADDRESS1!=''?><?B_ADDRESS1?><?end if?>
    But I see still it prints null columns.
    Any body have idea how can i fix this?
    Thanks

    Hi Guys,
    I have built a template for FSG reports. Currently the FSG Reports when run in XML does pull the Display Sets definition for the report. The Display Set is used to hide certain row and Column intersections from the FSG.
    So to accomplish this I have coded each column in the template to display data or hide data for a particular row by using the code
    <?if:(position()) !=1?><?fsg:RptCell[2]?><?end if?> ------ This means, show the column for all rows except row 1.
    Now there are some places I have to hide Column 1 for row 2 and row3 and display for row 1 and row 4.
    Can anyone please tell me how I can accomplish this.
    Thanks

  • Utilizing XML Publisher Report Bursting Program user-variables

    When running the XML Publisher Report Bursting Program against a bursting control file, I see the following in the log:
    Bursting propertes.....
    {user-variable:cp:territory=US, user-variable:cp:ReportRequestID=4413342, user-variable:cp:language=en, user-variable:cp:responsibility=20678, user-variable.OA_MEDIA=http://hostname:8000/OA_MEDIA, burstng-source=EBS, user-variable:cp:DebugFlag=N, user-variable:cp:parent_request_id=4413342, user-variable:cp:locale=en-US, user-variable:cp:user=USER, user-variable:cp:application_short_name=XDO, user-variable:cp:request_id=4413368, user-variable:cp:org_id=204, user-variable:cp:reportdescription=Report Name, user-variable:cp:Dummy for Data Security=Y}
    I would like to reference one or more of these in
    1. My bursting control file
    2. My template (to be output in final PDF).
    I cannot seem to get this to work in my bursting control file by referencing:
    ${cp:user} (note that it just returns the word 'null' here instead of the value)
    nor can I get it to work in my RTF template by referencing:
    <?xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX, ‘cp:user’)?>
    Should this work, or I am missing something?
    Thanks

    Thanks Ike, it likely would. The thing I keep coming back to is an example in the BIP Developer's Guide that suggests you can set a property and have it made available:
    DocumentProcessor dp = new DocumentProcessor (cfgFile, xmlFile, dir);
    Properties prop= new Properties();
    prop.put("user-variable:ADMIN_EMAIL","[email protected]");
    dp.setConfig(prop);
    dp.process()
    Seems to me that the work going on behind the scenes here (based on log statements alone) suggest the same sort of integration.. but I suppose not.
    Thanks

  • XML Publisher Template Builder for Adobe Acrobat

    Need a XML Publisher Template Builder for adobe acrobat as is available for word.

    I did so.. however, publisher is not able to substitute xsl syntax by the actual value..
    eg.
    i had a <?X_PO_NUM?> in word (either using text field or manually writing this..) and i converted the word doc into pdf using third party s/w..
    when i uploaded this template pdf with sample data file using xmlp admin repsonsibility, and tried to preview the output,
    substitution is not happening..
    the requirement here is, to have some input fields in final PDF output for which report-users should be able to type values in.
    for which I assume initial template has to be in PDF itself..
    any ideas or pointers will be much appreciated..

  • XML Publisher report ends up with Warning: not enough storage is available

    Hi,
    We have customized the AR Invoice print program (Invoice Print Selected Invoices) and have made converted the Oracle 6i report to XML Publisher.
    We have around 13000 AR invoicesin the system and when i try running the report for around 300 invoices, it works fine. When i try running it for more, It gives a warning and when i try to open the xml file to see if it is fully generated. I found that the XML File is broken in between and gives an error "not enough storage is available to complete this operation.".
    We have around 2 GB space in temp but we are not sure, why this is happening.
    Appreciate your help. Many Thanks in advance.

    Hi Kesava
    Can you check the $APPLCSF/$APPLOUT directory and see if you can see the file and its size? Maybe open it with vi or emacs and goto the last line and see if its complete.
    You might also check the OPP log for this request to see if there is anyting in that log?

  • Scratch 22: Creating XML Publisher report from scratch in eBS

    Problem:
    How to build a XML Publisher (XMLP) report in eBS from scratch. Thus NOT adapting or converting an existing report.
    Context:
    I have an eBS R12 Vision instance up and running where I want to learn building XMLP reports.
    This is what all tutorials I can find tell me to do:
    Most reports apparently consist of a layout template e.g. TEST.rtf and a data template e.g. TEST.xml. Now in order to generate a new report layout I am supposed to take existing output in XML format and (using ‘Load Data’ function in Template Builder plugin in Word) specify in my layout template where and how I want the actual data to pop up. So far so good.
    But now I want to build the data template from scratch and use it combined with a layout template. So I build the data template but can’t use that for building the layout template. For that I need output, for which I need a layout template.....
    Sounds like Catch 22 to me. How do I break this?
    1. Can I generate an XML-output file from the XML Data Template alone?
    2. Can I build my (RTF) layout template directly based upon the XML Data Template?
    3. Or have I completely lost the plot?
    Oh yes, dunno the first thing about Java and do not have My Oracle Support..

    1. Can I generate an XML-output file from the XML Data Template alone?
    create data definition with your data template-> create concurrent -> output as xml -> run -> view output and your xml
    I thought the XDODTEXE engine would pick up the (Layout) Template through concurrent program definition CPD short name which in turn points to the Data Definition (and thus Data Template). So does your answer mean I can call straight from CPD to Data Definition? I tried registering my Data Template in the Template Tab but it will not take XML as a type.2. Can I build my (RTF) layout template directly based upon the XML Data Template?
    if you want to use xml publisher desktop then you need xml (with data, not definition)
    So that's not an option I understand. Weird cuz I'd expect this to be technically easier.btw you can create your layout (rtf) without xml (data) and without data template (xml with select statement)
    create filed and past tag definition
    Yes but in that case I'd have an empty report. How would that help me?bouble click on filed:
    "Text Form Field Options" -> "Add Help Text ..." -> "Status Bar" (tab) -> "Type your own:"
    if you use bi publisher desktop plugin
    bouble click on filed:
    "BI Publisher Properties" -> "Advanced" -> "Code"
    or switch to Word Properties
    "BI Publisher Properties" -> "Word Properties" and use above path
    3. Or have I completely lost the plot?
    may be ;)
