Customize Output of the PO Output for Communication program R12

I have a requirement to change the output of the seeded PO Output for Communication program, so that it uses a custom RTF template to produce the documents.
To do this, I have registered this template in XML Publisher under the Purchasing application. I then navigated to Purchasing Super User > Setup > Purchasing > Document Types, and from the window opened, selected to update the Purchase Order Standard Type. From here, I updated the document name and the document type layout as my new custom template.
However, once I run the program, it completes with an error. The log file is pages and pages (that I won’t post here unless requested as necessary) but at the bottom is section produced that I think may be useful:
Updated PRINT_COUNT 1

rolling back the complete program
As you can see it's definitely picking up my custom template (NCC_STD_PO_RTF), and it appears to error when tryign to generate it as PDF.
I have attempted to attach the seeded xsl template to my template definition - to test if the error is due to the program expecting a certain template format - but, as the seeded template is in that particular format, and my definition is expecting rdf, it will not let me.
I am wondering if anyone has a solution for this requirement. We would like to keep the business process the same as it was in 11i, by using the seeded program, but with a custom template. But I understand that in R12, creating a custom program replicated from the seeded may be the only viable solution.
This is on Oracle Applications version 12.1.3.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated, and if you think that any more information is required, let me know.
Thanks.

Publisher version is 10.1.3.4.2.
It seemed to be a data issue. When a certain test PO with a insufficient amount of data in the XML output was put through the template, and hit these clauses, it failed, and the concurrent program errored.

  • Adding logo to the standard PO Output for communication program

    Hello All.
    I need to add company logo to the Standard PO Output for Communication program. Can someone please tell me a way to do this. I went into applications and see its a Java Concurrent program. I even went into these forums and I saw there is a way to uncomment out the line in the XSL file and add the logo there , but how do I upload back to the template. The Upload Button is disabled for this template.
    Can we use the Standard Purchase Order Stylesheet for this?
    If so how to make changes and how can I upload it back?
    Should I do an RTF temnplate?
    Can someone pl help me here. We are on R12 and I am not much familiar with exposting RTF to XSF FO.
    Thanks
    Vidhya

    We took the standard PO document XSL-FO template and enhanced for our own needs. The first of those is to utilize the company's logo. Search for 'external-graphic' in the xsl-fo template. The first hit will be the section for the logo. The comments in the template provide some guidance on what to change. For our company, I changed the URL to point to a .gif file on the Apps server ($OA_MEDIA/company_logo.gif) .
    The one downside that I have found so far, is that I am have to hard-code the entire document path. This path will change between instances. So I once our production instance is defined, I will set it to that path.

    From the workflow we found that it was stucked at PO new Communication Process.

    under Documnet control we assigned Output format column as "PDF".
    Will you please provide us your valuable solution as soon as possible.
    Thanks in Advance,

    This Program "PO Output for Communication" does effects in other parts.
    I mean that this program actually sends an email (or fax or print) along with the PO in PDF attachment or in the TEXT format.
    This program does other part than the above mentioned point also.If yes then provide me the information in which other parts this program effects.I believe it is only the part you mentioned above.

  • "The software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed..."

    I realize my explanation of my problem is long-winded, so if you want a shortened version, here it is:
    I've followed all the instructions trying nearly everything, and no matter what I do, iTunes gives me the error saying: "The software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the iPod's software." My G5 iPod (60GB) works on two other computers (both without any music on them), so I assume there something wrong with my computer and not the iPod itself.
    Now for the long-winded story of the last eight hours of my life...
    I just got the Generation-5 iPod Video (60GB) a today and I'm having problems already. I followed the instructions and installed the iPod software and then plugged in my iPod (iTunes has been on my computer for a while now). I was expecting iTunes to open after plugging in the iPod, but my device manager only detected and installed "a new device". I manually opened iTunes and got an error saying: "The software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the iPod's software."
    After re-installing the iPod software and iTunes, and restarting my computer countless times, I came looking for help here. I found this page, which seemed to outline my problem exactly. My computer recognizes the iPod as a drive, but iTunes won't have anything to do with it. I have all the symptoms outlined in the heading, so I hoped to solve my problem there. I followed the instructions step-by-step, and after the final restart, I open iTunes to get the same exact error message.
    I decided to determine whether there was a problem with my iPod or if it was my computer. I plugged my iPod into my uncles's powerbook, and got to the point where I can name and configure my iPod. I expected it to work flawlessly on a Mac (which it did) but there is no way for me to continue using a Mac (after tomorrow) for my iPod. This formatted the iPod for a Mac, so I went to another (different from the original) Windows computer, clean of any iTunes and iPod software, and followed the instructions exactly as they're supposed to be followed. After the installations, I plugged in my iPod, and although iTunes didn't open, I was able to format back to Windows and name my iPod (a step in the right direction). I should note that my (anti-iPod) computer is a Windows XP Pro, and the working one is Windows XP Home Edition. This was all well and good, until I remembered there was no music on this computer. So my iPod is completely working there, but there isn't anything I can do with it.
    Next, I came back here and browsed around the discussion boards, hoping to find somebody with a similar problem to mine. There seems to be alot of errors concerning iTunes not recognizing the iPod, but none of the solutions I tried worked for me, including changing the drive letter. I get the "iPod Service Error" while trying to restore to factory settings through iPod updater.
    Of course, I could transfer all 32GB of music from one computer to another, but the second (working) computer isn't mine and I won't have access to it in a couple months. It would be most convenient if I could get my iPod working on my own computer. Any help would be appreciated, especially from somebody who has solved this problem or know how to solve this problem.
    P.S.
    Here are some other minor details that my be important, but I didn't feel they were worth including.
    - My brother has his iPod mini set up on my computer, under a different user login. He gets the same error once in a while, but re-installing iTunes always solves the problem for him. I had him try solving my problem his way, but nothing worked for him either.
    - My computer is an AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3200+, 512MB RAM with Windows XP Pro SP2 installed. My internal hard drive is partitioned, using the letters C, D and H (C being my system files, D used for recovery files and H for my applications and games). My E drive is used as a DVD/CD-ROM Drive, and drives F and G are reserved for virtual drives (none have been running during this entire ordeal). My external hard drive uses the letter I, and I manually set my iPod to use the letter J (I've never used 'J' for anything else before).
    - Yes, I have downloaded and installed the latest versions of iTunes and the iPod software.
    - I'm assuming there is a problem with my computer and not my iPod, since it worked on both other computers I tried. I'm hoping it's as simple as changing a registry file or cleaning out (yet another) temp directory.

    Solution to "Software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed"!
    I battled this same problem for about 5 hours. Going through re-installations, the "5 R's", all these discussion boards. Nothing worked.
    The problem is that iPodService was repeatedly crashing after minute or so. You can verify this by hitting Ctrl-Alt-Delete and noting that iPodService is missing from the process list (sort by image name), or by right-clicking on My Computer and selecting "Manage", then going to Services and checking out the IPodService service - if it gives you the option to "Start", then it's not running.
    Here is what worked.
    1. De-install iTunes and iPod (if you have the updater installed) completely by going to Start --> Control Panel --> Add/Remove Programs. Also delete the C:\Program Files\iTunes and c:\Progam Files\iPod\bin directories. (Don't worry, this doesn't affect your saved music files.)
    2. Log in as an Administrator
    3. Go into the registry (note this is dangerous - you should be careful) and remove the iPod entries that the uninstaller misses.
    3.1 Go to Start menu --> Run.
    3.2 Type in "regedit".
    3.3 Go to HKEYCLASSESROOT --> IPodService.iPodManager.
    There are two keys here, iPodManager and iPodManager.1. In my case, I did not have permission to view either of these. I think this is the root cause of the problem. I think the installer can't properly update these because it doesn't have permission. So you need to change the permissions:
    3.4 Right-click on IPodService.IPodManager
    3.4.1 Select "Permissions..." A warning will appear saying you don't have permission, but that you can change permissions.
    3.4.2 On the window that launches, click on "Advanced..."
    3.4.3 Click on the "Owner" tab.
    3.4.4 Select a valid account (the one you're logged in under) under "Change Owner To".
    3.4.5 Hit "OK".
    3.4.6 Back on the main Permissions window, hit Add and add the same account as a valid user.
    3.4.6.1 Where it says "Enter the object names to select", type in the account name, e.g. "Smith".
    3.4.7 Click on the "Allow" checkboxes for "Full Control" and "Read".
    3.4.8 Hit "OK".
    3.5 Repeat procedure for the "iPodManager.1" key.
    3.6 Now right-click and delete both of these keys.
    I think that's all that's required, but I also searched through the registry and deleted the following keys.
    4. Other keys I deleted:
    4.1 HKEYCLASSESROOT --> IPodManager.IPodManagerUI.1
    4.2 HKEYLOCALMACHINE --> SOFTWARE --> Apple Computer Inc. --> iPod
    I think that's all I deleted, but I'm not positive. I seached for instances of "ipod" using the Find... and Find Next functions under the Edit menu.
    5. Exit out of the registry editor.
    6. Re-install iTunes. I re-installed iTunes and reconnected the iPod, and everything worked.
    I want to repeat that editing the registry can completely mess up your computer if you modify the wrong things, so only do this if you're comfortable, and be extremely careful.
    Hopefully this helps!
    Apple support people: assuming this works, please add it to your solutions page, and feel free to reimburse me for spending half of Christmas figuring this out.

  • TS1717 Having trouble running iTunes version 11.0.2 on a Dell Laptop running Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1.  Keep getting an error message "the software required for communicating with iPods and mobile phones was not installed correctly..." reinst

    Having trouble when I launch iTunes (version 11.0.2) on my Dell Laptop running Windows 7 Professional (service pack 1).  I get an error message indicating software required to communicate with iPod and mobile phones was not installed correctly.  Do you want iTunes to try to repair this for you?  I normally respond with OK and it immediately tells me "could not be repaired.  Please reinstall iTunes..."  I have done this a number of times to no avail.

    I also notice Quicktime is not getting installed at all.
    That one is normal nowadays (ever since the iTunes versions 10.5.x).
    The software required for communicating with iPods and mobile phones was not installed correctly. Do you want iTunes to try to repair this for you?
    Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
    (If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
    Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you?
    If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • Pop up in Itunes: the software required for communicating...

    I keep getting this message popping up in iTunes: The software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the iPod software. I tried a suggestion from this (apple discussions) site and it did NOT work. I am not computer literate and need more help. Thank you.

    This is often caused by XP's Fast User Switching, which doesn't work with iTunes:

    To disable this, go to Start/Control Panel/User Accounts then 'Change the way users log on and off' and remove the checkmark from Fast User Switching.

    First, for the forum view issue. Go to My Settings (on the right) and in General Settings change the Topic Page View to Flat. Click Save. Posts should show up in the order they were written.
    Have you seen this?
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93764
    Also, since you said that you've gone through the 5 Rs, I would assume that you used the iPod Updater to restore (since there is no other way of doing it and you don't "run" the 5 Rs).
    When you restored, did you use the latest updater?
    You may also want to try formatting the iPod through Windows. Connect it to the computer and when it appears in My Computer right click it and go to format. Does anything happen? Can you format the iPod through Windows?
