Euro sign in Report Query (RTF file)

Hi all,
I configured XML publisher as report server for report queries.
All seems to work well, except printing of euro signs.
When designing a template locally in word, everything works. When the RTF file is uploaded to apex and tested, the euro sign is displayed as a "?".
All charactersets are WE8MSWIN1252 (Database + modplsql), but I'm not able to find any NLS setting in XML publisher.
Anybody have experience with this?
Regards Guido

Guido,
I agree with you that this is a BI Publisher problem. The problem does not only appear with ApEx, for example see
Problem with symbol euro
I guess you are running BI Publisher on a non Windows machine, so you have to register the true type font. To do this, refer to BI Publisher documentation:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10091_01/doc/bip.1013/b40017/T421739T481157.htm#4535419
(section External fonts).
I haven't tried myself, but it seems that the only things you have to do is (copied from the docs):
Place the font on the server.
Place the font in a directory accessible to the formatting engine at runtime.
Set the BI Publisher "font" property.
You can set the font property for the report in the BI Publisher Font Mappings page, or in the configuration file.
To set the property in the configuration file:
Update the BI Publisher configuration file "fonts" section with the font name and its location on the server. For example, the new entry for a TrueType font is structured as follows:
<font family="MyFontName" style="normal" weight="normal">
<truetype path="\user\fonts\MyFontName.ttf"/>
</font>Regards

Unable to upload the updated/modified Report template (rtf file) in siebel

Hi,
I am unable to upload the updated/modified Report template (rtf file) if already exists in the local database.
Initially I have uploaded a rtf template, generated xliff, registered it and can view the report from the registered view. Later I have made few changes to the rtf template, in the reports template view, I have uploaded this. When i run the report in the registered view, I am able to see the earlier version and it doesnt show me the updated changes.
I am using 8.1.1.3 siebel and BIP 10.1.3.3.1 on local.
Looking at the metalink found "How To Upload Modified RTF Template Files In The Siebel Application For BI Publisher Reporting [ID 1136418.1]" which is related to server but I am working on local database
Please find attached the template, xml file. can you please look into this and update me ASAP

Layout and euro sign in reports 2.5

Well my problem is that I can't get a good layout of my reports when I use
different printers .My developing printer is a Xerox DC 220, and I use also a
hp laserjet4 plus driver . I can't get a Standaard layout for printing my
reports.I am daying to layout each report for each printer and as we have many
customers it's not smart to make many layouts for each customer .
Is there any way or method to make a Standaard reports layout for differnt
printers?? another problem is I can't get an Euro sign when I print my reports
I got a patch from Microsoft site just for Euro (on windows NT 4.0)but it
doesn't work !!!!!

service pack (6.0) my oracle database is 7.3.4
My printer is Xerox DC 220 and hp laserjet 4 plus driver
Well the main problem is the layout I can't get a WYSISWYG layout !! it's
really annoying to get something on my screen or preview and when I print it
I see something totally different ...
when I get a proper layout from my printer and send it to my customer they get
something else as layout .. I am using a default prt file in all my reports.
we have using a windows NT 4.0 with a service pack 6.0 and an euro patch from
microsoft but still doesn't work !! however when i use windows98 it works just fine !!
null

Double-click on the field on the layout and write something like:
if <condition> then return false;
in the field 'Format trigger' to the bottom of the dialog.

A STANDARD XML TAG IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY WHEN USED IN RTF FILE FOR XML RE

Hi,
I am using the following tag :
<?if:TASK_STATUS='Open'?><xsl:attribute xdofo:ctx="block“name="color">red</xsl:attribute>
<?end if?>
for changing foreground color of text which depending on certain conditiosi need to print in
pdf format using xml reports and rtf files.
But i was able to get only 3 colors (Red,Blue,Green) for use, other colors such as orange,cyan etc are not
working.
Please let me know what all colors are supported by oracle in printing in pdf format using xml reports.
Suggest if we need to do some settings related stuff or so.
I am usning XML 5.6.3 version.
Regards,
Amar

Colors can be expressed by known name and by a hex value. The hex value format is widely used in HTML programming, and has a format of #abcdef, and "abcdef" can be values like aaddcc and so on. For some primary colors, you can get away with #abc, but that is not very common.
You should always design with Web-safe colors in mind. That limits you to 16, but should be plenty for most purposes (plus all 16 have known names like red, cyan, yellow, etc.).
http://www.w3schools.com/Html/html_colors.asp has a good explanation of the standards.

Could not overwrite rtf file on report template in BI Publisher

Hi All,
I want to upload the rtf file for Bi publisher report. There is already an rtf file and I have edited the file and want to overwrite it . It shows that the only way is to delete the template and again
create the template by uploading the rtf file. I tried to overwrite the existing template with edited rtf but it shows the error. Is there any other options rather than deleting the template and uploading again for edited rtf file.
Thanks,

Hi,
it seems, sometimes everyone would like to draw a vertical reference line at the data date of a line chart, so I would like to bring this thread up again.
I assume, that there is no vertical reference line on line, bar or area charts, because of the following reason: The vertical reference line is made for X1Axis; that's why it's called X1ReferenceLine. Line, bar and area charts don't have any X1Axis, but a O1Axis (ordinal axis):
from Graph.dtd: "

<!ELEMENT O1Axis EMPTY >

<!ELEMENT X1Axis (ViewFormat?) >
There is no such thing as <!ELEMENT O1ReferenceLine EMPTY > in Graph.dtd.
Is there any other solution, why it seems not to be possible, to draw a vertical reference line on line charts?
Kind regards,
Tobias
ps: Regarding the difference between X-Axis and ordinal axis, I take the explanation from http://goorman.free.fr/ZedGraph/zedgraph.org/wiki/index1240.html?title=What_does_%27Ordinal%27_mean%3F .

Steps to save a Query/Report as Excel file in Share folder

Hi,
I have a requirement where i need to schedule a BI report automatically on a daily basis and save it in a Sharepoint folder as a excel file. I have gone through the Forums but didnt get a clear idea on how to proceed this with. I read about RSCRM_BAPI transaction but i hope we need to do this manually to save the file each time. Also, in Broadcaster there are options only to send Email & save in Portal.
So, if anybody have idea on saving a Query/Report as excel file in a Share folder automatically, kindly help me in suggesting the steps to do this activity.

Hi
1. Create Three Floders in AL11 i.e. in Apllication Server. Eg Name it F1, F2 and F3.
2. First dump the .csv files into F1. (Name xyz.csv).
3. Then using UNIX/WINDOWS (depends on your OS) script , first check the file is there are not in F1, if yes then rename the file with date and time or date and transfer the files from F1 to F2 i.e xyz06032010.csv.
4. Then Create a small ABAP program to check the file in F2, if it is there then Trigger the Event, and using that event you execute teh PC.
5. Then using UNIX/WINDOWS (depends on your OS) script , transfer the files from F2 to F3 i.e xyz06032010.csv
6. Next day morning F1 and F2 are empty and F3 is having the backup files.
So use this method, I used the similar logic and it is working fine.
Timinings are importent i.e what time you need to dump the fule in F1 and what time you need to run UNIX/WINDOWS (depends on your OS) script , transfer the files from F1 to F2 and what time UNIX/WINDOWS (depends on your OS) script , transfer the files from F2 to F3.
OR
1. Create Two Floders in AL11 i.e. in Apllication Server. Eg Name it F1 and F2
2. First dump the .csv files into F1. (Name xyz.csv)
3. Then load the data using InfoPackage, through PC.
4. At the end of the load Attach a simple Program to Move the xyz.csv file from F1 to F2.
5. So next day the file will come to F1 and the it will load and at the end it will move to F2.
Else you can use simple one or two lines of UNIX/WINDOWS (depends on your OS) script to move the file from F1 to F2 , once you load is over.
While moving the file from F1 to F2 you can append the date at the end of the file and then move to F2, it is use full for future reference.
See Blogs and Article, similar logic...

2. send this file via email-attachment (how can i refer to the created file and use the apex_mail.add_attachment procedure)
i hope somebody can help me!

Maddl,
Typically, when you have a report query, associated with a report layout, you print it using a button that branches or links to a URL with a special request that initiates the download of the PDF document. In that case, you PDF is not stored anywhere on the server, it's passed from your rendering engine to your client PC / browser.
If you want to render the PDF document on the server, and attach it to an email using add_attachment, then you would use the print API (introduced in APEX 3.1). You can call apex_util.get_print_document, with specifying the report query name and report layout name, and get back a BLOB, which you can then attach to an email. here's the links to the documentation of that API:

Flat file and encoding of euro sign

Hello,
I have a problem with a flat file which contain the euro sign. The file is encoding in ISO-8859-15.
I try to send the contain of the flat file in a DB2 database and it works fine. All characters are well encoding (é,è,û, ...) except for the euro sign.
When I execute the following request :
SELECT HEX(SUBSTR(FIELD,1,1)) FROM TABLE
where the first character of FIELD is the euro sign which is malformed, I get '80'.
In the topology, I tried with this :
jdbc:snps:dbfile&ENCODING=ISO8859_15
and this : jdbc:snps:dbfile&ENCODING=Cp1252
but the result is the same... :-(
Could you say me how to solve this problem please?

Sorry I did a mistake. I didn't considered the good topology...

Problem Exporting Crystal Reports 8.5 to an rtf file

I have an app written in VB 6, data stored in Access 2000 format and reports in Crystal Reports 8.5. From print preview of CR 8.5, I chose to export the report to an rtf file. When opening the rtf file, the report has print over top of print as if when my headers are repeated the information that follows prints on top of the header. It also appears that the page breaks are not the same which causes overflow to the next page. I suspect that it has something to do with choosing to repeat headers in my group sections in CR. I need these headers to be repeated when previewing or printing the CR.
We have tried exporting to Word 2003 and Word 2007 and it seems even worse.
Any ideas for a remedy?
Thank you.

Hi
If you are exporting the report using the custom application and there you are facing this issue, then please post the thread in Expert Forums » Crystal Reports and Xcelsius » .NET Development - Crystal Reports for quicker response.
Else please try the below :
1.Uncheck the option for repeat group header.
2.Check Keep together for all the sections from the section expert.
Export the report once again and see if that works.

Apostroph and euro sign not read corectly from txt file
