CREATE XML PUBLISHER REPORT WITHOUT USING RDF

Hi Every one ,
Can anybody share his/her expertise on following issue ?
"How to create XML Publisher Report without using RDF?"
Your help is appreciated.

Hi Swapnesh
YOu do not need to create the XDODTEXE, its seeded for you. You need to do the following:
1. Create and test the data template
2. Load the data template to the template manager against a data definition
3. Create a concurrent program definition that uses the XDODTEXE as its executable
4. Create parameters (if required) for the CP and DT that match in name
You're done
Regards

XML Publisher (now BI Publisher) reports without Using RDF

Hi All,
We am trying to generate XML Publisher (now BI Publisher) reports from Oracle EBS reports without Using RDF.
We have generated the required report using RDF however as we are trying to move away from RDF, we are looking for this type of solution (i.e without RDF). We simply want to use SQL query for XML output.
I tried to generate XML output from a concurrent program which is a SQL query however the output doesn't come out in proper XML format.
I am sure this can be done through XML publisher using pl/sql procedure. By using a procedure and using the function DBMS_XMLGEN.getxml to generate the output in XML format & storing it in a variable declared as CLOB type. The reports are running fine smaller result set but its giving error "Value or Numeric Error' for larger resul set. Following is the way i am using the function:
select DBMS_XMLGEN.GETXML('select * from dual') into result from dual;
Where result is declared as CLOB Type.
Can anyone help please?
Thanks.

I used a different approach.
I registered a concurrent program with executable as XDODTEXE and output as XML.
I added a XML data definition (which contains my SQL query) on XML Publsiher admin and Registerd a template against that XML data definition.
This solved my problem.
Thanks all.

Creating XML Publisher report without xml data source

Hi
Anyone developed XML publisher without xml source.I wanted to know is there any way to develop that..
Presently we need a .xml file to develop any report on XML Publisher.But if there will be a way where is no .xml file and we need to generate tags for the data from scratch
thanks
kp

So why develop a report if there is no data? I can only think that you have a bunch of static text, maybe an instruction page you want to publish? If so, you still need a data source, it can be a dummy source
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ROOT/>
ie no data per se. BIP needs a source even if there is not data to merge.
Cheers

Xml Publisher Report Without RDF

Hi experts,
I need to customize the seeded XML publisher report.Till now i developed XML publisher reports by developing rdf only. But here i didn't see any rdf for it..
without rdf how we can create the xml publisher report. I need to insert a field in this report where i need to insert this field.
where i found the SQL query for this report.Please help me
Thanks
Ashok

Thank u,
Here I need to customize the Sales Order XSL Template which is a seeded template in Order Management.
and it will execute when user select the actions button-> print and prview .so there is no concurrent program for this.they did the setups for this.
I didn't find any datetemplate for this in data defination window.here I need to change this one as
1.     Update the Report Header to read “Dispatch Note” instead of “ORDERING DOCUMENT”.
2.     Inclusion of logo for each police authority (Open Issue).
3.     Modification to include *“United Kingdom” instead of U.S.* in the free text portion of the PRODUCT section. “United Kingdom” value will be derived from the country specified for the selected organization and not hardcoded.
4.     Footer to include shipment date instead of Sales Order Creation date and the document should be available to print only after Ship Confirm.
5.     Updating the Layout template in the Transaction Type setup, so that it points to the modified layout template.
6.     The modified Dispatch Note document will be included in the Ship Confirm document set and this document set will be included in the respective Ship Confirm rules. This Ship Confirm Rule will be attached in the Shipping parameters tabs for both the organisations. This step would enable the Dispatch Note to be printed automatically after successful completion Ship Confirm process.
I have *.XSD file and .XSL file * .. I don't find any data template in datadefination window to see the SQL query.
I thought now i have to change the *.XSD AND .XSL FILES* is it right? Is there any other solution for this ..
Thanks
Ashok

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 ;)

Creating balance sheet report without using hierarchies

Hi all,
Is it possible to create balance sheet report with a fixed layout, without using hierarchies? If yes, how?
Thanks
Nitika

I see.... I guess in that case you shoul use also Cell Definition. Let me explain you step by step.
You´ve already created a structure at ROW level.
1) Create another structure at COLUMN level and name it, for instance, "Balance KF".
2) Within the new structure, create 1 selection field filtering the apropiate key figure. Give it an auxiliar name "auxiliar", cause it´s going to be used just for calculations (not visible in queries).
3) Set properties of this selection as Hidden.
4) Create 2 new selection filds within the same structure. Name them but don´t make any selection of characteristics, cause we´re going to assign values with cell option (these are col 1 and col 2 in my previous example).
5) In the tool bar you will find a "Cells" button.
6) You have to write formulas en col 1 and col 2 (as you were working in an workbook), making reference to the values in hidden column. In column 1 make reference to account level values; in column 2 make reference to total level values.
If you have problems defining reference cells, let me know, but this will solve your issue.

Is it possible to create a PDF report without using BI Publisher?

Hi,
I need to create a report in pdf using APEX, but I don't have BI publisher and I am not interested in to buy it . Which is it the best way to solve my problem?
Thanks

Have your DBA install FOP and then find a good xml style sheet editor. Or have them install jasperreports and then use ireports to format them...

How to create editable PDF template for XML Publisher reports

Hi,
I have got a requirement to have some editable fields in one report whose output is in PDF format.
I tried looking and saw this can be done using the XML Publisher report and using PDF template.
But I got only Adobe Acrobat Reader and it does not have the facility to create Form fields.. Can you let me know what software I need in order to create the editable PDF Template.
In the user guide, it didnot mention anything regarding this.
Can I create editable PDF report using RTF template or do i have to got for PDF template only?
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks

Hi,
To edit PDF template , u need Acrobat writer, which is not free .
I am still wondering what is this ?
"" Can I create editable PDF report using RTF template ?? "".
What is editable PDF report. ?
i think what you tried to mention is ,
can the PDF output from xml publisher is editable ?
If that is the question , so here is some points,
If you have Acrobat Writer or prof.edition, you can edit all the PDF documents irrespective of being from where it is generated.
To make you understand more of XMLP.
You create RTF template in word, so that , after merging with xml you can have multiple output formats like PDF, XLS, EFT,.....

11i EBS XML Publisher Report with Multiple Data Source

I need to create XML Publisher report in 11i EBS pulling data from another 10.7 EBS Instance as well as 11i EBS in single report.
I am not allowed to create extract or use db links.
My problem is how to create Data Source Connection using Java Concurrent Program.
The approach I am trying is
1. create Java concurrent program to establish connection to 10.7 instance.
2. Will write the SQL queries in Data Tempalete with 2 Data Source 1 for 11i EBS and 2 for 10.7 EBS
3. Template will show the data from both query in 1 report..
Is there any other way to proceed using datasource API...
thanks

option1:
The query should be same @ detail level, only the template has to be different for summary and details.
@runtime, user can choose to see the detail/summary
Disadvantage, if the data is huge,
advantage , only one report.
option2:
create two separate reports summary and details
and create diff data and diff layout and keep it as different report
Advantage, query will perform based on the user run report, summary/detail, so that you can write efficient query.
Dis advantage , two reports query/template to be maintained.

Different methods of creating an XML Publisher report

Hi All,
Can anyone please advice me on different methods of creating an XML Publisher report.
The method which we us is as follows -
1. Create an RDF file and upload the same in the /REPORTS/US path.
2. create a concurrent program, give output as XML.
3. Create a data definition, but here we do not upload any data definition.
4. Create a template and upload the RTF template.
But I have heard that there is a method wherein we do not have to create the RDF and simply adding the query to the XML file works.
But in that case do we upload anything in tht Data defition also ?
Can anyone please provide me any link or some place where I can read about different methods to create an XML report without the use of an RDF.
Regards,
Shruti

Hi Shruti,
There is a method where we need not to create RDF as data defination. You need to write a xml file which we upload as data defination. The short name for this data defination used as short name as concurrent program having executable XDODTEXE.
Sample XML data template :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<dataTemplate name="EmpData" description="Employee Details" version="1.0">
<dataQuery>
<sqlStatement name="Q1">
<![CDATA[select business_group_id, business_group_name
               from hrfv_business_groups
               where date_to is null
                 and business_group_id not in (0, 82)
                     order by business_group_id]]>
</sqlStatement>
<sqlStatement name="Q2">
<![CDATA[select employee_number,
                     title ,
                     full_name,
                     sex ,
                     date_of_birth,
                     email_address
             from per_all_people_f
             where business_group_id = :business_group_id
               and current_employee_flag ='Y'
               and trunc(sysdate) between effective_start_date and effective_end_date
               and rownum<11]]>
</sqlStatement>
</dataQuery>
<dataStructure>
<group name="G_BG" source="Q1">
<element name="BusinessGroupId" value ="business_group_id"/>
<element name="BusinessGroupName" value ="business_group_name"/>
<group name="G_EMP" source="Q2">
<element name="EmpNumber" value ="employee_number"/>
<element name="Title" value ="title"/>
<element name="FullName" value ="full_name"/>
<element name="Sex" value ="sex"/>
<element name="DateOfBirth" value ="date_of_birth"/>
<element name="EmailAddress" value ="email_address"/>
</group>
</group>
</dataStructure>
</dataTemplate>
This data template generates xml data which prints output on rtf template.
Hope this will help. Let me know for more info.

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
Kay

Can we use xml Publisher reporting for sql* Plus in EBS

Hello All,
The current report is designed in Sql* Plus Executable report and the output is in txt format, Now the requirement is to have the output in Excel format.
So is it possible to use the xml reporting and make the output as Excel from the word template we design from MSword as we do for rdf(I have done few reports created in rdf to xml publisher reports in EBS and stand alone as well.).
Do the same procedure will suit for Sql*Plus reports tooo or Is there any work around to achieve this.
Thanks and Regards
Balaji.

Hi
Thanks for the reply..
I tried to do the follwoing
1. changed the output to xml in the conc. prog.
2. ran the same report but i am getting the follwoing error in the output file
The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.
Invalid at the top level of the document. Error processing resource
Other reports which are using the Oracle Reports(rdf) as source, i am able to generated the xml as expected....
So my question is whether we can use sql* reports executable and generate xml in the conc.prog.
if any one has used the sql*reports for xml publisher reporting... please let me know, so that if its possible i will check my sql needs some validation or tuning...
