Converting Standard Oracle Report to XML for excel output

I have gone through the steps of copying a concurrent program for a standard report to a new program, changed the output format to xml, ran the new concurrent job, saved the output as a .xml, then using the xml publisher template builder for word (Oracle Patch 5887917) tried to modify record information so each record will be on the same line in an Excel format. I tried de-normalising the hierarchy using the ../.. syntax to traverse up the hierarchy but only the data at the lowest level displays. Has anyone else run into this issue or have any ideas on how I can fix it.
Here is the xml when I insert a table and convert the table to text just so you can see the hierarchy I'm trying to de-normalise; these are all the fields but not in the order I would want them displayed...
Source
List G Location Id
for-each G_SOURCE SOURCE
G Location Id
for-each LIST_G_LOCATION_ID
List G Exp Receipts
Location Code1
for-each G_LOCATION_ID
G Exp Receipts
for-each LIST_G_EXP_RECEIPTS
Number Release Line
List G Exp Lines

for-each G_EXP_SHIPMENTS INVOICE_NUM

end LIST_G_EXP_SHIPMENTS
C_FLEX_ITEM_DISP end G_EXP_LINES
end LIST_G_EXP_LINES
end G_EXP_RECEIPTS
end LIST_G_EXP_RECEIPTS
LOCATION_CODE1 end G_LOCATION_ID
end LIST_G_LOCATION_ID
end G_SOURCE
Here is the text from Word before I convert it into a table when I try to de-normalise it...
for-each G_EXP_SHIPMENTS ../../ P_DATE
../../../../../../../../ SOURCE
../../../../ NUMBER_RELEASE_LINE
../C_FLEX_ITEM_DISP
../../PRODUCT_NUMBER
../../ITEM_DESCRIPTION
../../UNIT
../../ORDERED
../../QUANTITY_RECEIVED
../../QUANTITY_BILLED
../../DUE
INVOICE_NUM
INVOICE_DATE
INVOICE_AMOUNT
../../../../../../LOCATION_CODE1 end G_EXP_SHIPMENTS

OK, figured it out... when you double click on the field to add the ../, you actually need to click on Add Help Text and add the ../ here

  • XML Publisher Report in EBS without Standard Oracle Report

    Hi folks ,
    i have some questions.
    Can I create a XML Publisher Report for the EBS without a Standard Oracle Report in EBS.
    So that I can build up the files with the Desktop Publisher, create Data Definition / Template with Upload / Create the executable und concurrent and than only start the new program in EBS ?
    I have the situation that I can start my program with the template in the background but ít is searching for the report on the file system.
    Thanks in advance for the feedback.
    regards
    Kay

    Hi Ravi ,
    can i do it only with the xml Publisher , because when i tried it in the past and get all the staff like Template / DD / CP up and running and started the CR i get an error from the system that he is missing a report directly in the file system... so he searched for the report himself on system like a standard 6i Report. But the template and the dd is stored in the db. So my question again, can I use the XML Puplisher without a Standard Report or can i use a dummy file only for checking and after that he use my template / dd.
    regards

  • 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!
    Ellen

    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

  • Layout issue while trying Migrate Oracle Report to XML publisher Reports

    Hi
    I am trying to Convert Seeded Oracle Reports (rdf) to BI Publisher reports, in doing so encounter layout issues. The layout of the RTF , PDF or HTML generated by BI Publisher is different form the text, PDF or HTML outputs generated by the concurrent report. The problem with the BI Publisher template and out put
    Is, the lay out is getting distorted .
    Steps to archive the migration :
    -     download the rdf from the server to local m/c.
    -     execute Forms 9i Util rwconverter to generate a xml
    -     use the oracle.apps.xdo.rdfparser.RTFTemplateGenerator API to generate a RTF template of the report layout
    -     Then use this template to generate a XSL via oracle.apps.xdo.template.RTFProcessor API
    -     The Apply the XSL on the XML data output of the report using oracle.apps.xdo.template.FOProcessor to generate RTF , PDF & HTML files.
    Name of the Report used for migration “FSG - Report Detail Listing” , responsibility GL super User. This was just a random report we picked-up for trial.
    The layout of these files seems to distorted than the layout of the original report output as generated by the rdf report.
    Pls suggest some means to resolve this or any pointers towards what causing this could be of help.
    -     Shudipto

    The process of "converting" an old Oracle Reports rdf into a BIP report is more akin to writing a brand new report in BIP than to what most people would consider a true conversion.
    The conversion routine outlined by Oracle just gives you a starting point for converting RDF layouts into BIP, and nothing more. In regards to the data define it does somewhat better generating your queries and XML layout (but honestly, that is the easy part), but even for the data define it will lose your formula columns as well as report triggers.
    I have used the converter on several dozen rdf files and I have yet to see one that is better than 10-20% ready for use after the conversion process.
    I would strongly suggest that you only convert the reports that you have to convert (for enhancements, modifications, etc). If it ain't broke in old Oracle Reports, dont' try to fix it in BIP.

  • Oracle Reports with XML output showing data as asterik character

    Hello,
    I'm trying to create an Oracle report with xml output. Here is the issue I'm having some of the columns in my report are of datatype number. When I run the report and generate xml file the values for those columns(datatype number) are showing as (*) character, other columns are showing fine. But when I run the report as text output then data is fine. I don't understand why this is happening.
    The property of column is Column Type - Database Scalar, Datatype - Number , width 0,-127.
    Does the width has to do anything with this?
    I'm using Report Builder 6.0.8.11.3, DB version 10g.
    Can anyone please help me with the issue I'm having.
    Thanks

    and the story of the error is as below:
    Currently I am working on VBA excel to create a widget to verify coordinates whether it lies under the radius of ANOTHER predefined and pre-specified sets of coordinates.
    In the module, I want to convert the coordinates from degrees to decimal before doing the calculation - as the formula of the calculation only allow the decimal form of coordinates.
    However, each and every time I want to run the macros this error (Run-time error '5', invalid procedure call or argument) will appear. Then, the debug button will bring me to below line of coding:
    degrees = Val(Left(Degree_Deg, InStr(1, Degree_Deg, "°") - 1))

    Convert_Decimal = degrees + minutes + seconds
    End Function
    Thank you.
    Your kind assistance and attention in this matter are highly appreciated.
    Regards,

    You didn't give an example of your input string but try the following
    Sub test()
    Dim s As String
    s = "180° 30' 30.5""""" ' double quote for seconds
    Debug.Print Deg2Dec(s) ' 180.508472222222
    End Sub
    Function Deg2Dec(sAngle As String) As Double
    Dim mid1 As Long
    Dim mid2 As Long
    Dim degrees As Long
    Dim minutes As Long
    Dim seconds As Double ' or Long if only integer seconds
    sAngle = Replace(sAngle, " ", "")
    mid1 = InStr(sAngle, "°")
    mid2 = InStr(sAngle, "'")
    degrees = CLng(Left$(sAngle, mid1 - 1))
    minutes = CLng(Mid$(sAngle, mid1 + 1, mid2 - mid1 - 1))
    seconds = Val(Mid$(sAngle, mid2 + 1, 10)) ' change 10 to 2 if only integer seconds
    Deg2Dec = degrees + minutes / 60 + seconds / 3600
    End Function
    As written the function assumes values for each of deg/min/sec are included with unit indicators as given. Adapt for your needs.
    In passing, for any work with trig functions you will probably need to convert the degrees to radians.

  • Preventing automatic scientific notation conversion for excel output?

    I have a column in a report that contains a mixture of numbers and letters and hyphens. If the only letter is E, then I get scientific notation instead of the actual text when I run the report for excel output and open it in excel.
    For example:
    185701E-02 becomes 1.86E+03
    4962E6 becomes 4.96E+09
    Any ideas how to fix or work around this in the template, data definition, or excel config?
    Thanks,
    Kevin

    I tried pre-pending an apostrophe in the SQL and in the rtf template to indicate to excel that it is a text field, but this just resulted (not surprisingly) in '185701E-02 instead of 185701E-02

  • List of Standard Oracle Reports for US Government

    Any idea on the list of Oracle standard reports used by HR Dept to submit to US Government as a part of legal requirement.
    Please suggest if you have any Metalink Doc ID or other documentation.

    Thanks Octavio,
    Forgot to mention that I found that list, what I want to do is list the available Standard RXi reports and copy them into a spreadsheet.
    I need a list of standard reports to show to the business, I found a list from an older version via appendix in 115finrxi Rel 11i - which identifies which report to which module, e.g. GL, AR, AP, etc.
    I managed to copy these but somehow doesn't tie up with the LOV in Set up within Report eXchange Responsibility. This LOV has more & gonna take a while to cross check & identify which modules these belong to and wanted to know if there's a way to export these into an excel spreadsheet from an LOV.
    I don't have SQL access to run a script & extract these list of reports, so I was curious if there's a documentation anyone has come across that has the list of RXi reports as per previous Oracle Financials RXi Reports Administration Tool User Guide Release 11i May, 2000 Part No. A81232-02.
    any assistance, recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks heaps. :)

  • 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,
