Edit/add XML data in BI Publisher

Hi
I have a java program that is generating an XML file that I am using as input for my BI publisher for PO report. However, I want to add some extra information(location addresses corresponding to location id) that is not there in the XML and I cannot edit the java program generating it. Is there any way I can do this in BI publisher? Can I edit/add XML data in BI publisher? This is really urgent and I appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Sharmila

You have to edit the package which has the sql query,
without fetching them in xml , you cannot display that.
BIP will not help you to get that into report.
The code which generates the XML data has to edited for sure..
I guess, i helped one guy for similar requirement,
i guess you are asking in the same report..
the java program in turn calls the Pl/Sql package which generates the XML data and pass it to the Java Concurrent Program.
The Pl/Sql package picks data from these views po_headers_xml, po_lines_xml, po_distribution_xml.
you can also add the columns you want to be displayed in these views, and then change the template accordingly.

How to Edit a XML data file from AS3 class...

Hi...
             I need to edit an XML data file I have at the exit of application.... I have a demo code which is not working....
This is the code :
public function UpdateData():void
               trace("Closing....");
               var FileData:XML=<Hello>Hai</Hello>
               var urlLdr:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
               var urlRqst:URLRequest = new URLRequest ("AppData.xml");
               urlRqst.data=FileData;
                urlRqst.contentType = "text/xml";
               urlRqst.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
               urlLdr.load(urlRqst);
This AppData file already exist and has some data in it.
    Plus :
   How to find the application is exiting.

use: fscommand('Quit');
to exit your app.
and this is how you would use the urlloader class to save data:
public function UpdateData():void
         trace("Closing....");
          var FileData:XML=<Hello>Hai</Hello>
var urlVar:URLVariables=new URLVariables();
urlVar.fileData=FileData;
            var urlLdr:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
           var urlRqst:URLRequest = new URLRequest ("this must be an executable to parse and write data");
           urlRqst.data=urlVar;
           urlRqst.contentType = "text/xml";
               urlRqst.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
              urlLdr.load(urlRqst);
but i don't think you can use an executable on a fl4 device so you will need to use a different class. i don' know how you're storing an xml file on a fl4 device but you should be able to use the sharedobject to read and store xml.

Preformatted RTF string in XML data for BI Publisher merge

Hi
I have been presented to the question: Can we send a preformatted RTF text as one of the input fields in XML stream to BI Publisher (mail)merge?
We're using the MS Word plugin to create a RTF template. Effectively we want to merge RTF text using RTF template.
I cannot find any documentation stating that it is supported. My tests locally in the MS Word plugin are'nt exactly sucessfull, but there is a number of possible reasons for that.. :-)
Does anybody know explicitly if it is supported (or not)?

Hi..
Obviously the buffer size need to be extend...also its look like you are customizing the report ..so it would be better if you check for data redundancy once.
you have to increase the size of buffer ....and then let it completly open the xml output file...till its done and then save it and use for preview.
You have to ask your dba to increase the buffer ...or from sysadmin --->conc manager--->output post processing ...check for the manager and increase the buffer size as well.
Thanks

How to add xml data to an xml scheme

Hi all,
I am having a problem trying to add content to an XML schema file - I have a schema (xsd file) and i want to use it in order to create and validate new/other xml's.
The issue is that i want to place some data in the original XML schema file that will be inserted into the new xml's i create based on the schema.
I am using java APIs to create the new xml's based on the original schema. I tried at first using default values in order to create the initial data, but I have a problem doing this for complex types.
Has anyone encountered a similar problem?
Thanks
shahar

Hello Ashley,
you are already close to the solution. In BADI QISR1 you simply fill the
table SPECIAL_DATA e.g.like
fieldindex = 1
fieldname = 'FIELD1'
fieldvalue = 'Value1'
fieldindex = <n>
fieldname = 'FIELD1'
fieldvalue = 'VALUE<n>'
Then on the Adobe form layout (Adobe Designer), you have to use the table control XFO from the standard library. Here you have to bind then the corresponding column to FIELD1.
Best regards,
Simon

How to Add parameter fields in BI publisher fields

Hi,
I'm creating xml report for Apps standard Trial Balance Summary, here i cant able to run the .rdf locally due to SRW.UserExit .
So i got the XML file from output of the report.
Then i added the xml data in BI publisher and then i have created the .rtf for that.
Here i need to add some fields which is not available in fields list (in BI Publisher).
How to add that fields, or is possible to add fields manually.
That fields are given as parameters while running the .rdf file.
Please tell me how to solve this problem.
Is possible to add fields manually means tell me how to do that.

If those fields are input parameters to the concurrent program then you can display them in RTF by declaring and printing it as
<?param@begin:P_CONC_PARAM?>
and display it as <?$P_CONC_PARAM?> - Note P_CONC_PARAM should match your parameter token

PDF output does not refresh data in BI Publisher, XML and HTML do refresh

I just upgraded to BI Publisher 10.1.3.4.0 and I noticed that the PDF format of the reports does not reflect recent changes in data, while XML data and HTML output do reflect changes in data immediately.
I'm using BI Publisher to print APEX applications reports. When I change some data in APEX forms, I click again in the Print button and the data remains unchanged. I made some testing inside Oracle BI Publisher, and noticed that XML data and HTML output do reflect changes, but PDF output remains with the old data for some unknown amount of time. I cannot identify a method to force the PDF to refresh, just un-log and log in again several times until the data appears updated. This is serious because when users change data and print again, they expect the changes to be reflected in the new printable report, and may not notice that the data is the old version.
OS is Oracle Enterprise Linux.
Any help on this will be very welcome.
Francisco

Open the report in Edit Mode Click on the reports and in the properties section Uncheck the
Enable Document Cache Property and your issue should be resolved.

Add XML Publisher Administrator responsibility with EBS 11.5.9

Hi all !
I'm exploring the possibility to use XML Publisher inside Oracle E Business Suite 11.5.9. because...unfortunately it's not possible to upgrade EBS to the 11.5.10 version
I found a note on the forum which says: "Starting from 11.5.9 the XMLP is bundled with Apps. You just need to add XML Publisher Administrator responsibility to your profile, and install MS Word template builder on your PC".
So...my questions are:
1) how can I add the XML Publisher Administrator responsibility to my profile ? Should I set up something (already existing into EBS), or should I install a patch ?
2) how can I know the XML Publisher version bundled within Apps (if what is written inside that note it's true), 'cause I'd like to use the 5.6.3 version
Also, I looked for a solution on Metalink and the only note regarding how to use XML Publisher inside E Business Suite 11.5.9. is the note id 278727.1 (even I should install the 4.5 XML Publisher version - TOO OLD)
Thanks in advance
Alessandro

Hi Ravi thanks for you answer !
So....I tried to create the responsibility from scratch, because nothing is defined for XML Publisher, in this way (from the OA System Administrator):
Responsibility Name: XML Publisher Administration
Application: XML Publisher
Responsibility Key: XDO_ADMINISTRATION
.....but inside the Data Group area
Name : Standard
Application: ?
....and inside the Menu area which information should I write ?
Is there something to follow in order to create from scratch a XML responsibility ?
Thanks again

XML data output file in a directory needs to be published as a pdf report

Hi,
I have already got an XML output file in a directory.
I want to display it using RTF template using a concurrent program or some sort of java api in a pdf format to be able to print it.
How do I do it? Do I have to write another file output command to read the xml data line by line and output to BI publisher first?

Hi,
Hmm, one way is to just utl_file read the file and fnd_file.put_line(fnd_file.output) then close the file. Setup conc prog, rtf template, data definition and you're done.
But the main thing is that you get the XML file to $APPLCSF/$APPLOUT/oXXXXX.out where XXXXX is the request id. You could just setup host concurrent program and copy the file there!

Regrouping the XML data source in BI Publisher

Hello,
We have a requirement in BI Publisher to develop a template accessing the data from different sources (data sets) and need to regroup the whole data by a field which exists in all the data sets.
Below is the sample example of the source file
<DATA><Total_Depletion>
<TOTAL_DEPLETION_ROW>
<BRAND_GROUP>BEEFEATER</BRAND_GROUP>
<BRAND>BEEFEATER</BRAND>
<OPP_RISK>-50.000001</OPP_RISK>
<STATE>AL</STATE>
</TOTAL_DEPLETION_ROW>
<TOTAL_DEPLETION_ROW>
<BRAND_GROUP>BEEFEATER</BRAND_GROUP>
<BRAND>BEEFEATER</BRAND>
<OPP_RISK>53.1</OPP_RISK>
<STATE>AR</STATE>
</TOTAL_DEPLETION_ROW>
</Total_Depletion>
<Accounts_sold><ACCOUNTS_SOLD_ROW>
<BRAND_GROUP>BEEFEATER</BRAND_GROUP>
<BRAND>BEEFEATER REGULAR</BRAND>
<STATE>MC</STATE>
<ACTUAL_ONPREMISE>2</ACTUAL_ONPREMISE>
</ACCOUNTS_SOLD_ROW>
<ACCOUNTS_SOLD_ROW>
<BRAND_GROUP>BEEFEATER</BRAND_GROUP>
<BRAND>BEEFEATER WET</BRAND>
<STATE>CA</STATE>
<ACTUAL_ONPREMISE>916</ACTUAL_ONPREMISE>
</ACCOUNTS_SOLD_ROW>
</Accounts_sold></DATA>
Now our requirement is to regroup the whole data by Brand and then state, and need to display in two different tables.
Can any one help us in fixing this issue out.
Thanks a lot,

How to add a data-source.xml to the project to config DB connections and to be SCM'ed

I'd like to explicitly manage a data-sources.xml for my JSP + BC4J project.
Any helps on getting the released Jdev to add a data-source.xml that would then
be what the .ear deploys to OC4J?
Thanks, curt

I have a JSP + BC4J project:
So far my naive experiments to explicitely add data-sources.xml to a
project that is picked up by the deploy to .ear step and put in the
root of the .ear have failed.
Is this one of those gaps like the orion-application.xml file, that has no
solution at present?
Or is the back-door via adding an EJB component to my project, then deleting it??
Thanks, curt

Hi,
To me it seems that format is used in BI Publisher usined iN OBI and not Oracle XML Publisher.
Why dont you try to get the value in sql itself like (:salary + :pct_cimssion) as abcd

Edit/add XML data in BI Publisher
