Error in BI Publisher when generating excel format

Hi,
I was facing an issue in BI Publisher where I was getting this error message when trying to generate the excel format for a report.
oracle.apps.xdo.template.fo.area.BlockArea.
BIP Version : Oracle BI Publisher 10.1.3.4.1
Template used : XSL-FO
Data source : XML file
However, if I turn off the "Enable Document Caching" option in the Report node , the excel report is getting generated. The issue is resolved now, but am trying to understand what the issue was and how turning off the cache resolved it.
If anyone has faced this issue before, and knows the reason - please let me know
Thanks in advance

So the doc cache, does just that it caches the document. I assume there might be some issue with caching Excel files. Have to admit I can not reproduce it. Turning cache on and constantly calling for the Excel (either type) is not failing.
Ahh just noticed that you have an XSL-FO template, can you share it and some data so I test and maybe log a bug?
Thanks
Tim

Unable to print xml publisher report in excel format in R12

Hi All,
We are unable to print xml publisher report in excel format in R12. We were able to see the excel output but it's printing junk characters while printing and it's printing without any issue with PDF format.
Please let me know how to fix this issue.
Thanks,
Raja

Hi Raja,
I presume you have gone through the debugging process of testing your template locally first to get the expected result.....
If yes, this note might probably be helpful "Changing Output Format to RTF or Excel in XML Publisher Request Does Not Display Output Correctly (Doc ID 404512.1)"
Good Luck,

SharePoint 2007 - Invalid Token Error when Generating Excel Worksheet with ItemLevelAudit

All,
I have the AuditLevel project located here working on a test site:

When I click the button to Generate Excel Document - if I've viewed the document I get the following error

Hi Alan J Stewart,
This issue may occur due to the column name in your scenario.
Would you please change the column name: raised by column to “raised_by”, and export the list with this column, check whether the issue persists.
I have seen similar issue that caused by the column name.
Thanks,
Qiao

XML Publisher to generate Excel reports

Can we use RTF template to generate Excel reports? Is all the process the same or do I need to do some additional set ups? Also, can I create a custom report , set the output format to xml and run XML Publisher on the top of it to generate output of my choice? HAs anybody tried this? or is it possible only in standard reports?
Pl help. This is v urgent , i need to design my process flow accordingly
Thanks much

Hi
Yes you can generate Excel from an RTF template - there are some limitations. The Excel in this case is not binary Excel - its XHTML and the mime type is set so that Excel opens it.
So, you can not embed formulae, macros, etc in the RTF template and get the Excel output to execute them.
You second question is what Publisher is all about, give it XML data and a layout of your choice and then pick the output format you want.

I get an error message "unknown publisher" when I download quicktime 7.7 for windows 64bit

I am trying to download quicktime and I get an error message :unknown publisher". I am using windows 7 64-bit operating system. Can anyone help me?

Which I get. But clicking on that link you provided does not give you the option of choosing between 32 and 64 bit installers.
Yeah, that was certainly a 32-bit installer file being referred to in the other message, too. (The 64-bit installer file is called iTunes64Setup.exe.)
Just in case it's an issue with your normal browser not working properly with the system-detection equipment on the page (there's a javascript control that checks for operating system specifics, and is supposed to deliver the correct Mac or Windows installers), let's try a different web browser for the download. If you use Firefox instead of IE (or vice versa), do you get offered an iTunes64Setup.exe instead of an iTunesSetup.exe?

Error in BI Publisher when clicking on Results tab

I am using Oracle BI in Linux. I have created a report in BI Publisher. I have created a data set and am using the Query Builder to define the model and see the results. Whenever I am including a numeric field in my model(like Unit sold, Amount Sold, quanity etc.) I am getting the following error.
500 Internal Server Error
The current application deployment descriptors do not allow for including it in this response. Please consult the application log for details.
Query Builder is showing the correct results when I am using the varchar2 fields, or using join with varchar2 fields. But the error is thrown whenever I have a numeric field in the model as a single column or as a part of join. I am using the sh schema availabe as a part of Oracle 11g. Can anyone give a suggestion on what is to be done.
Thanks in Advance

Bad performance when open a bi publisher report in excel

We use bi publisher(xml publisher) to create a customized report. For a small report, user like it very much. But for a bigger report, users complain about the performance when they open the file.
I know it is not a native excel file, that may cause the bad performance. So I ask my user to save it to a new file as a native excel format. The new file still worse than a normal excel file when we open it.
I did a test. We try to save a bi publish report to excel format, the size shrink to 4Mb. But if we "copy all" and "Paste Special" value only to a new excel file, the size is only 1Mb.
Do I have any way to improve that, users are complaining everyday. Thanks!
I did a test today.
I create a test report
Test 1: Original file from BIP in EBS is 10Mb. We save it in my local disk, when we open the file, it takes 43 sec.
Test 2: We save the file in native excel format, the file size is 2.28Mb, it takes 7 sec. to open.
Test 3: We copy all cell and "PasteSpecial" to a new excel file with value only. The file size is 1.66Mb, it takes only 1 sec to open.

EBS or Standalone BIP?
If EBS see this thread for suggestions on performance tuning and hints and tips:
EBS BIP Performance Tuning - Definitive Guide?
Note also that I did end up rewriting my report as PL/SQL producing a csv file and have done with several large reports in BIP on EBS.

Error 500 Internal Server Error" When Generating Hyperion Financial Reports in PDF Format

We are unable to open pdf reports in Workspace with the following error. It was all working fine and doesn't work now for unknown reasons.
Error 500 Internal Server Error" When Generating Hyperion Financial Reports in PDF Format
We are on 11.1.2.1 environment. Ghost Script 8.54 and Java heap settings xms256m and xmx512m.
Please advice.

hello,
just to clarify
a) the parameter is named DESFORMAT not :DESFORMAT, there is
no : in front of the name, if you submit it via URL !
b) there are some issues with acrobat5 and IE but those are not
only caused by PDFs generated with oracle reports.

XML Publisher report default output in Excel format.

Hi,
We have defined one concurrent program whose output format is text, this concurrent program executable is PL/SQL and in this PL/SQL program we are generating XML data and displaying XML using below fnd_request.
l_conc_id := FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST('GMP','GMPPDROP','', '',FALSE,
p_sequence_num,chr(0),'','','','','','','','','','','',
We have also defined template for this.
Using below fnd_request we are choosing template and data is getting generated in PDF format. Now our requirement is to display the output by default in Excel format.
FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST('XDO','XDOREPPB','', '',FALSE,'',
l_conc_id,554,G_comb_pdr_temp,
G_comb_pdr_locale,'Y','RTF','',scale_report,'','','','','',
When i saw XML Report Publisher concurrent program, there is one parameter for Output Format and i tried passing 'Excel'/EXCEL/excel to this parameter but output is still coming in PDF format.
FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST('XDO','XDOREPPB','', '',FALSE,'',
l_conc_id,554,G_comb_pdr_temp,
G_comb_pdr_locale,'Y','RTF','Excel',scale_report,'','','','','',
I have also tried giving Default Output to EXCEL in template definition but this is also not working.
Your valuable suggestions highly appreciated.
Thanks
Vijay

Downloading a report in excel format : getBlob WIS 30270 Error

Hello experts,
I 'm working in "Business Objects XI R2 SP2", the server is a "windows 2003 server".
I have a big report , that some times returns me that message error when I try to download it in excel format:
Error message: "An internal error occured while calling the getblob api error wis30270".
The number of lines in the report is 27800, the number of columns is 62, the file is 27mb.
If I push the drill button the I can download it without errors, but this is not a good solution for the final users...
Best regards
Camillo

Hi Camillo,
Following information might help you to resolve the issue.
.Business Objects Enterprise provides thresholds to protect the WebIntelligence report server and the Web Application servers from processing large chunks of binary and character data and avoid crashing.
Maximum Binary File Size: Maximum size of a binary file (for example: PDF, XLSu2026) that can be generated by the Report Server. If a binary file generated from a Web Intelligence document is greater than this limit, the generation is stopped to protect the server and an error is returned. Increase this limit if the server has to generate large binary files (for example, if InfoView users view large documents in *.pdf format).
Maximum Character File Size: Maximum size of a text stream (for example: HTML, XML) that will be transferred to the application server. If a text stream sent to the application server is greater than this limit, the generation is stopped to protect the server and an error is returned.
In CMC, under Servers>WebIntelligence Report server, you can possibly set both the above values to 50MB, but you have to ensure that the application server can handle the increased load multiplied by the number of simultaneous connections. If not, it can crash and block all access to applications.
2. Ensure that the Web Application servers have enough memory available to process incoming requests. Usually the -Xmx value for java process is set at 256Mb, which is recommended to be at least 1024Mb or more depending on your Export requirements and application server limitations.
