E-Business Suite XML Publisher 5.6.3 FAX Delivery Channel

Hi All,
If anyone of you who has implemented FAX delivery channel for XML Publisher 5.6.3 version, share your experience. Which software you used for delivery faxes from EBusiness Suite?
XML Publisher guide mentions eFax and FAX4CUPS. Tim D's blog has an entry about Advanced Collections functionality with RightFax. Any pros and cons about these softwares?
Regards,
Parth

Depends on what you need. If you need to manage thousands of faxes a day and have some multi fax board solution then something like RightFAX will work - its goiing to cost you thou. If your needs are more meager and you dont mind getting stuck into some custom code, then XMLP coupled with a CUPS server can do the job. If you want some middle ground and out of the box integration check out STR Software's solution. Again, its not free but they are a great bunch of folks with a great product. They will stand up faxing in a matter of days with some really neat integration with the conc manager pages - www.strsoftware.com
Thats my 2 cents, Im sure there are plenty of other 'real' customers out there that have opinions.
Cheers
Tim

E-Business Suite XML Publisher Issue.

Hi DBAs,
I am getting following error while uploading a big size (5 GB and up) .rtf file from XML Publisher Administration>template (from application).
oracle.apps.fnd.framework.OAException: oracle.jbo.JboException: JBO-29000: Unexpected exception caught: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError, msg=Java heap space
## Detail 0 ##
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
I searched over the Web and got that I need to increase the Java Heap Size for XML Publisher.
Can you help how can I change the heap size for XML Publisher in EBS 11.5.10.2 with XML Publisher 5 version.
Thanks

BPEL JMS Adpater to publish message to B2B Internal Delivery Channel

We are planning to use the JMS adapter in BPEL to publish message to B2B Internal Delivery channels. But during the JMS Adapter configuration it doesnt list the B2B Internal queues (IP_OUT_QUEUE and IP_IN_QUEUE) in the list of queues. However for AQ Adapter in BPEL, during the AQ Adapter configuration its lists the queues(IP_OUT_QUEUE and IP_IN_QUEUE) in the list of the queues. We used the same database connection and user for both the adapters. The B2B queues are in the B2B repository.
Can we use the JMS Adapter in BPEL to publish message to B2B internal delivery channel and if so is there any other configuration we need to do?

You can use the default AQ to pub/sub messages in/out of the IP_IN and IP_OUT Qs.
However, if you still need to use JMS, then make the B2B listen to this JMS Q and then use the JMS adapter.
Using the default AQ should be robust and simple. But, again we have seen several customers implementing in thrid party JMS providers as per their business scenarios.

XML Publisher(XDODTEXE) in EBS taking more time with the same SQL in TOAD

HI
XML Publisher(XDODTEXE) in EBS taking more time with the same SQL in TOAD.
The sql has 5 union clauses.
It takes 20-30 minutes in TOAD compared to running through Concurrent Program in XML Publisher in EBS taking around 4-5 hours.
The Scalable Flag at report level is turned on with the JVM options set to -Xmx1024m -Xmx1024m in Concurrent Program definition.
Other configurations for Data Template like XSLT, Scalable, Optimization are turned on though didn't bounce the OPP Server for these to take effect as I am not sure whether it is needed.
Thanks in advance for your help.

But the question is that how come it is working in TOAD and takes only 15-20 minutes?
with initialization of session ?
what about sqlplus ?
Do I have to set up the the temp directory for the XML Publisher report to make it faster?

XML Publisher in E-Business Suite 11.5.10 Error uploading template

I am creating an XML Publisher output for a custom report. I have created the Data Defenition, I have created a template file (RTF)in MS Word using BI Publisher Destop.
Now I am creating a template in XML administrator and Uploding the RTF template file. I am getting an error saying that
"The uploaded file verapdtl.rtf is invalid. The file should be in XSL format"
I have no idea what is going on. I have selected the Report format as MS Excel.
Someone please help
Thanks
George
Edited by: gthomas3 on Feb 3, 2010 7:45 AM

Hi George,
An RTF file should be created from the existing XML/BI Publisher Local Installer.
Once you Install XML/BI Publisher locally, you see XML/BI Publisher prompt when you open a MS Word document.
So while saving you need to save it as rtf file format.
And you should create the RTF file as per coding standards mentioned in XML/BI Publisher User guide.
Pls confirm if you have done the same, if not please follow the instructions.
Regards,
Kiran

Displaying BLOB (image) data in BI Publisher Report - E-Business Suite R12

Hi All,
As part of E-Business Suite R12.1.3 upgrade, I need to develop a PO printout report using MS Word BI Publisher Desktop Plugin. The report needs to include images (signatures) from the database based on requisition approvers.
How can I build a custom view and a template to use with an RTF report and include dynamic images in it? Is it possible?
Thanks,
Sinan

yes, it is possible
look at Inserting BLOBs into your report
steps:
- create data definition with query with blob (say image) in xmlp
- create empty template and load it into xmlp resp
- create concurrent
- run concurrent
- save xml
- use BI Publisher Desktop with xml data for construct template layout
- load template layout to xmlp resp
another way
- if image in os you can try to use OA_MEDIA + image name

BI Publisher with Oracle e-Business Suite 11i in EBS security mode

Seems I submitted below in wrong forums earlier so posing to correct one now. Appreciate any help.
Hi All,
I want to configure BI Publisher that comes as a part of OBIEE in Oracle E-Business Suite security mode. My Oracle E-Business Suite 11i runs on 3 node RAC database and 3 node apps tier/cm tier. As per configuration guide, I changed security mode in BIP to 'Oracle E-Business' and uploaded DBC file from E-business suite Web&Forms tier. In DBC file TWO_TASK parameter has value of test_806_BALANCE which is just an alias in tnsnames.ora for load balancing. Now when I go to BI publisher and click on 'Roles and Permission' tab in security center, it gives me 500 Internal server error.
But if I change this TWO_TASK value to any particular RAC instance sid, I am able to see all responsibility in Roles and Permission tab. This seems that BI Publisher makes jdbc connection url to database on the fly by reading DB_HOST, dB_Port and TWO_TASK parametes from dbc file and due to this my BI Publisher is single point of failure if the RAC instance goes down which I mentioned in DBC file. Even though E-Business Suite is in HA, BI publisher is not taking advantage of this HA db.
Any one has idea how to over come this situation.

You can try for a luck by posting the thread in BI Publisher Section of this Forum..

Problem with XML Publisher report when there are no detail records.

I am working on an Oracle XML Publisher procurement report (Oracle E-Business Suite R12) that starts with a budget amount that is imported from our financial system, then lists all requisitions and orders that are in process (not approved). The amounts of all those unapproved requisitions/orders are totaled using a Sum form field, to be followed by a field where the unapproved requisition/order total is subtracted from the budget amount (amount available). I am running into a problem when there are no unapproved requisitions. When I run the report for such instances, it completes with a warning -- here is what it states in the OPP log:
oracle.xdo.parser.v2.XPathException: Extension function error: Method not found 'sum'
I have altered my sum field on the RTF template to include an if statement in case of a null value...
<?sum (EXTENDED_COST)?> <?xdofx:if sum (EXTENDED_COST) = " then 0 end if?>
...but this does not work.

Hi,
You are on right track. Simply put summary field in header group and remember to set reset at property to Header Group Not Child and now you can use this field in format trigger.
Format trigger must be written on header frame.
Cheers !
