EBS-R12 Generate XML (with data) from Embedded Data Definition

Hi
I'm new to running XMLP/BIP in EBS.
I have found the extensive set of data definitions and templates in EBS and they work great out of the box.
I, however, need to make template modifications.
To this end, a correctly structured XML data template - containing all the data fields - is needed for loading into the template-builder in Word.
If for example I take the embedded R12 data definition - XLAJELINESRPT.xml - for Posted Payable Invoices, and load it into the template builder, it provides the structure of the data template and not the structure of the output XML data.
I have tried several ways to run the Data definition through XMLP using the concurrent manager attempting to intercept the generated XML (with data) but it either completes the process and uses the linked output template - producing the PDF - or other output - or if I remove the (output template altogether) it fails with an error.
Maybe I'm missing an obvious step, but there has to be a way of taking the very comprehensive Data Definitions embedded in R12 EBS and using them in custom report templates.
If I've totally missed the point, please give me the steps to follow.
Many thaks in anticipation.
Mike MacMurray

HI Mike,
You cannot load your Data Template into the MS Word Template Builder plugin, as it cannot be run to generate XML this way.
You have two options to get the data from an XML Publisher Report run as a concurrent program in EBS.
1) Using the XML Publisher Administrator responsibility, set an end date for both the Data Defintion and Template Definitions associated with the XLAJELINESRPT report.
2) Leave the concurrent program, Data Defintions and Template Definitions exactly as they are and run the report. Once the report has completed, select the Concurrent Request, click "Diagnostics" then click "View XML". This will open the XML in a new browser window. You can then right click, View Source and then save this document locally.
You can then load this XML into the MS Word Template Builder and start building your template.
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Cj

How to generate XML Publisher report from PLSQL Stored Procedure in APPS

Hi,
I have concurrent program of type PLSQL Stored procedure.I need to generate XML Publisher report from the same.I have changed the output of the concurrent program as "XML" but when I tried running it,the XML tags are not generated.Due to this I am unable to create the template.Its a urgent issue.
Please help me out .
Thanks in advance.
Kaveri

Hi Kaveri
Sadly there is nothing magic about that output field. The only program type that you can flip it to XML and then magically get XML is for Oracle Reports. For plsql you will need to recode the plsql to generate XML rather than text that you have now.
You have some options, best option first:
1. Move the sql to a data template - check the user guide and blog for help or
2. Use SQL XML or XMLGEN (not great for large datasets) or
3. Use dbms_output.put_line and write the XML file manually - not performant at all

Load Grid with data from System.Data.DataTable

Hi all.
A have a System.Data.DataTable e need load a grid with data from this DataTable.
How Load a Grid with data from System.Data.DataTable?

Hi Francisco,
actually i don't think that you can use a .NET datatable to fill a business one grid.
the business one has it's own datatable.
in c# it would look like this:
oForm.DataSources.DataTables.Add("MyDataTable");
((SAPbouiCOM.Grid)(oForm.Items.Item("grid").Specific)).DataTable = oForm.DataSources.DataTables.Item("MyDataTable");
oForm.DataSources.DataTables.Item(0).ExecuteQuery("SELECT Field FROM [dbname].dbo.TABLE");
((SAPbouiCOM.Grid)(oForm.Items.Item("grid").Specific)).CollapseLevel = 1;
((SAPbouiCOM.Grid)(oForm.Items.Item("grid").Specific)).AutoResizeColumns();
((SAPbouiCOM.Grid)(oForm.Items.Item("grid").Specific)).SelectionMode = SAPbouiCOM.BoMatrixSelect.ms_Single;
good night

Powerpivot Error on Refresh -- "We couldn't get data from the data model..."

I'm using Excel 2013 and Windows 8.1. I have a spreadsheet I've been using for over a year, and I've just started getting this error message when I try to refresh the data.
"We couldn't get data from the Data Model. Here's the error message we got:
The 'attributeRelationship' with 'AttributeID' - 'PuttDistCat9' doesn't exist in the collection"
Any idea how I can fix this problem? I haven't changed anything related to that particular attribute. All the data is contained in separate sheets in the workbook, so there are no external sources of data.
Thanks.
Jean

Thanks for all the suggestions.
I found a slightly older version of the spreadsheet that still refreshes properly, so I don't think I have any issues with the version of Excel or Power Query. (I've had this same error before, and I believe I applied the hotfix at that time.)
I think this problem started after I updated a number of the date filters in the pivot tables. I haven't made any changes to the data model, and the only updates I've made were to add data (which I do all the time), and to change the date filters on
the pivot tables.
As suggested, I added a new pivot table querying one table (the table with the attribute that shows up in the error message), and it worked fine. I can also refresh this pivot table.
Then I tried adding a pivot table which went against several tables in the data model (including the table in question). The pivot table seemed to return that data properly. However, when I tried to refresh it, I got the same error message ("we
couldn't get data from the data model...").
Dany also suggested running the queries one at a time to see which one is in error. Without checking all the pivot tables, it appears that any which use the table "HolePlayedStrokes" generate the error (this is the table with the attribute
mentioned in the error message). Pivot Tables without that particular table seem to refresh OK. Unfortunately, that is the main table in my data model, so most of the pivot tables use it.
Any other suggestions? I'd be happy to send a copy of the spreadsheet.
Thanks for all the help.

Translation date from document date instead of posting date

I have a requirement to set automatically Translation date from Document Date instead of Posting Date as usual in SAP.
My company code hasnu2019t got neither 2nd local currency nor 3rd local currency.
As usual, when posting transactions in foreign currency, translation date is derived from posting date.
I would like to know if is possible to set that translation date would be derived from document date. As I said before, because of the company code only has one currency defined, is not possible to change it in OB22.
Thanks a lot

Has anyone ever tried to change the Translation date on the FI documents generated by F.05 (FBB1). I am having this requirement at one of the clients I am working on. I need to substitute the document date in the translation date field. I tried using substitution through GGB1 (OBBH) and also I tried using the BADI - FI_TRANS_DATE_DER, but none of the two options work.
Is there any other option to do it or did anyone had any success in doing this????
Appreciate all the responses.
thanks in advance.

How to compute data from different data sources?

All we are doing with data is from one single datasoure, which could be from oracle or sql server or a excel table, the issue is how could we combine these data from different data source with SQL?

Exception thrown while trying to acquire data from Profile Data Control

I created a new WebCenter Portal Application (with JDeveloper 11.1.1.4).
Then tried to acquire data from Profile Data Control through getProfile().WCUserProfile to create a read-only form with profile data.
After deploying (to internal WLS) and running I got a popup saying:
*Exception [EclipseLink-7060] (Eclipse Persistence Services - 2.1.2.v20101104-r8475): org.eclipse.persistence.exceptions.ValidationException Exception*
Description: Cannot acquire data source [java:comp/env/jdbc/WebCenterDS].
Internal Exception: javax.naming.LinkException: [Root exception is javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: While trying to lookup 'jdbc.webcenter.CustomPortalDS' didn't find subcontext 'webcenter'. Resolved 'jdbc'; remaining name 'webcenter/CustomPortalDS']; Link Remaining Name: 'jdbc/webcenter/CustomPortalDS'
The question is how can I create such a data source to acquire data needed?

Hi, there's two ways, in both ways you need use the user <PRE>_WEBCENTER that RCU create.
1 - You can go in your console and create de dataSource, as Yannick sad. You can use your production database if you want get some more real tests, or you can get some develope database and run RCU. You can copy the configuration from you WLS server that are installed webcenter to make this easy.
2 - In develop mode you can just create a database connection name "WebCenter", just like sad here:

Retrieve data from LONG data types

Hi,
I am trying to retrieve data from LONG data types with following query.
select * from all_views where upper(text) like '%TABLE_NAME%';
In above query text column has long datatype. This query works for varchar, but it returns an error for long.
How can I modify the query so that it returns data from text column.
Thanks in advance,
Aditya

You can't use any expressions against LONG. One solution is to use PL/SQL:
BEGIN
    FOR v_rec IN (SELECT * FROM ALL_VIEWS) LOOP
      IF UPPER(v_rec.text) LIKE '%TABLE_NAME%'
        THEN
          DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(v_rec.text);
      END IF;
    END LOOP;
END;
/SY.
