Hi all,
I created RTF template which it publish in excel format.I am getting correct report but here i want some Excel settings from RTF template.
These all properties i want in Excel output file which is generated from RTF.
1) Page number must be displayed at the bottom of each printed page.
2) Report should be landscape oriented.
3) Column headers must display on each printed page of the report
4) Page should be setup to print at 47%
5) Freeze panes in one of cell.
Thanks in advance!!!!
Thanks
KSS

Hello KSS,
) Page number must be displayed at the bottom of each printed page.
For this select the Insert-->Page Numbers and say position as bottom of the page.
2) Report should be landscape oriented.
Select File-->Pagesetup here select the oreintation as Landscape.
3) Column headers must display on each printed page of the report
You might have defined a table and included the desired values
Select the table properties and go to the Row tab there check the option "Repeat as Header row at the top of each page"
Kind Regards,

Generating TEXT output from RTF template/reports

Hi ,
We have been working with XML Publisher for a long time now.. and we have come across some requirements such as
1. Page break in TXT report output
2. Page Headers after every 'X' lines in TEXT output.
This was easily achieved with RTF template and PDF/HTML/RTF output, but not with TEXT output in eTEXT template.
So we started looking into two approaches
1. Generate TXT from PDF/RTF/HTML output(generated from RTF template), though it will addon to the time, but we are looking for this approach. We are looking for some JAVA api's which can help us to extract text from PDF/HTML/RTF while preserving the format.
2. Pass the TXT generated by eTEXT template to our custom util , which will split the report in diff. pages.This will get complex as we recieve more and more reports.
We have also tried hacking the RTF parser used in XML P so as to get a TXT output or using XSL-FO objects in eTEXT parser, but we could not get anything of our help.
Does anyone have any pointers in this.

Gaurav

You can burst with eText and I have done it
successfully.
I don't believe pagebreaks are an option in eText and
I don't think it makes sense either since your
generating a flat-file and not a customer or internal
facing document. Does that make sense?
Also, if you would like you can use the
BIPublisherIDE, this code can be converted pretty
easily to handle jcp. There is a an oa framework
version I have developed but I haven't posted on my
blog yet. I plan on adding a bolt on for java
concurrent programs soon. it's really pretty simple
just haven't had the time.

Thanks Ike for your reply.
I agree with your points on TXT files, but in our case,the reports are generated in TXT format for the customer so we are looking for the above mentioned features.
I have gone through BIP IDE and its a wonderful small utility which eases the task of BIP development.
As I mentioned in my original post that we are currently processing the generated TXT report using a custom util. in JAVA to get the desired output in TXT again.
I assume thats not what a JCP would do,so I am looking to explore that too.
As I understand the process for report generation is
1. Generate XSL from eTEXT template.
2. Get the XML data from DB using XDO
3. Apply XSL on XML to get the required template.
If we are looking to achieve some customizations then we need to have the XSL generated with those customizations.
In this case, where do we plug in the JCP to alter XSL or am I missing something.

Generating a report from RTF template using WSDL from ADF

Hi,
I am a newbie to ADF-BIP integration.
I am using the wsdl http://<<ip>>:<<port>>/xmlpserver/services/PublicReportService?WSDL for generating a report from RTF Template in ADF.
We are using Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher Release 11g (11.1.1) and JDeveloper 11g (11.1.1.5.0).
I have a couple of merge variables in my RTF template and I am passing these variable using Report Request parameters.
below is code I added for creating the report request.
First I created publicReportService using webservice proxy.
    public static ReportRequest getReportRequestFromBIPWithTemplate(String reportFolderOnBIP,
                                                        String reportName,
                                                        String outputFileFormat,
                                                        String template,
                                                        HashMap params) {
      String reportAbsolutePath = reportFolderOnBIP + "/" + reportName + ".xdo";
      ReportRequest repRequest = new ReportRequest();
      System.out.println("report path: " + reportAbsolutePath);
      repRequest.setReportAbsolutePath(reportAbsolutePath);
      repRequest.setAttributeTemplate(template);
      repRequest.setAttributeFormat(outputFileFormat);
      repRequest.setAttributeLocale("en-US");
      repRequest.setSizeOfDataChunkDownload(-1);
      System.out.println(params.size());
      ParamNameValue[] paramNameValue = new ParamNameValue[params.size()];
      ArrayOfParamNameValue arrayOfparamNameValue = new ArrayOfParamNameValue();
      Set set = params.entrySet();
      Iterator iter = set.iterator();
      int i = 0;
      while (iter.hasNext()) {
        Map.Entry me = (Map.Entry)iter.next();
        System.out.println(i + "--->>>" + me.getKey() + " : " + me.getValue());
        paramNameValue[i] = new ParamNameValue();
        paramNameValue.setMultiValuesAllowed(false);
ArrayOfString values = new ArrayOfString();
if (me.getValue() == null) {
values.getItem().add("");
} else {
values.getItem().add((me.getValue()).toString());
paramNameValue[i].setValues(values);
paramNameValue[i].setName((me.getKey()).toString());
arrayOfparamNameValue.getItem().add(paramNameValue[i]);
i++;
repRequest.setParameterNameValues(arrayOfparamNameValue);
return repRequest;
I generated report response bytes using below code
{code:java}
repRes = publicReportService.runReport(repReq,userID,password);
reportStream = repRes.getReportBytes();I could see the generated PDF but the supplied variables are NOT reflected in place of merge variables.
Ex: In template
Welcome, <<merge variable, userName>>
{code}
Generated PDF should have
{code:java}
Welcome, Hello World
{code}
Instead of the above I am getting
{code:java}
Welcome,
{code}
I am looking for a suggestion, Please help me in this regard.
Thanks,
Satya

How to get the CSV,DATA output from RTF template

Hi Jorge
Thanks for your help.
as in the link you have given RTF template can have the output type CSV,DATA but in the preview i can see only html,powerpoint,pdf,html excel .
How to see the output in SCV,DATA format using my RTF template do i need to do specific design for those outputs.
Thnaks in Advance

It is because it has been preconfigured with such outputs.
To modify and add more output types simply go to:
1. Edit your Report
2. Click on "View a List" (upper right hand corner)
3. Click on the "output formats" (corresponding to your layout) and
4. Check (add) the additional output formats you want your report to have.
cheers
Jorge

Custom Java class called from RTF template generates error

We are running a report in BI Publisher and the report calls a custom developed Java class that is used to bind PDFs together and sent the result to another application.
On the RTF template we have some XSLT that reads the input XML and sets a variable which is then passed to the Java class. We are however getting the following error when the report is called simultaneously 2 or more times:
XML-22044: (Error) Extension function error: Error invoking 'JavaClassName': 'java.lang.Error: Cannot interweave overlay template with pdf input, combined number of pages is odd!
I read this as the real cause of the error is the Java code but I'm not 100% sure. Also I don't understand what the error message means.
Could someone help out please?
Many thanks

Since our this requirement is in Quotes module, its not using OAF. It is using plain JSPs and java classes.
What i was thinking is, create the Option values as flex fields, and write a custom java class to fetch these data from the flex tables and use it in the JSP.
The main problem we are facing now is,
"...we wrote a simple java class, which establishes database connection, executes a simple insert & select query to our custom table. compiled & placed the class file under our new pkg structure under $JAVA_TOP eg. oracle.apps.xxx.quot.tmpl , bounced the apache."
But when we tried to import this class in the jsp (which is being customized), the app just throwed Internal Server Error and we couldnt find any info in the Log file.
Couldnt guess, why is this simple thing failing. Any idea ?

Reg. Autoshapes from .rtf template not printing

Hi:
I am using a RTF template to produce the XML output.
When I upload it to Apps the autoshapes e.g Line, Box, ellipse etc.;don't show at the position that they were created on the template or they show only partially at another part of the document and/or they don't repeat on every page.
Has anyone had this issue before?
Or is there a setup that I am missing that would rectify this issue?
Thanks

Footer content only on the second page of output document from rtf template

I have a requirement for which my output document should contain signature section (possibly footer ) that needs to be only in second page of output document. As you see in the template has xml data that gets passed and the length of the document is based on amount of data that gets passed. Irrespective of the length of the document. Only and Only on second page of the output I should see the signature section. I am not able to use native Word session break etc.
Is there a way to use XDO api etc to accomplish this ?

probably a difference in height between the 2 columns of the left and of the right (check paragraph and character formats, cell margins, borders, etc.)

Fillable PDF from RTF template

Morning all..
So, I have created a report layout using a RTF file. Then in Application Express, Under Shared Components -> Report Layouts / Queries I have created a report that is filling the RTF file just fine and outputting to PDF. My question would be, once it creates the PDF, Is their a way to have fields in the PDF that the end user can fill in?
Resonse for this would be for Digital Signatures and other generic fields that are not stored in the database. I know I can creat a form to fill in most of it, but it would be very helpful to be able to fill in the pdf and save after it is generated from the report queries.

It can be done via a 3rd party product, either using Adobe's pdf product (not reader but the builder utility) or from the list provided by this Google link:
http://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&channel=s&hl=en&q=fillable+pdf&btnG=Google+Search
It would be external to your application though..
Thank you,

Generate documents(word,Excel,PowerPoint) from Document Templates with Security Markings programmatically

Hi
It is required to create office document (can be word, Excel, PowerPoint etc) from predefined template with security markings programmatically within SharePoint Document libraries..
help with example source and references appreciated.
Best

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to create a document based on a predefined template.
When we create a predefined template, actually the template is bound to the content type, we can retrieve it using its url.
web.Lists[YourList].ContentTypes[yourContentTypeId].DocumentTemplateUrl
Then we can retrieve the predefined template as an SPFile, and use the
OpenBinary() method to get the byte[].
There is an article about this topic, you can refer to it.

PA_CONTRACT_XSLFO: How to invoke a RTF-template with related data template

Dear Reader,
actually I want to extend the standard Document Type Layout for a Purchase Agreement Contract with additional data from approved supplier list (ASL).
Therefor I have created a RTF-template and a data template with the needed sql-statement. For testing I put this in a standalone concurrent programm and it works fine (result was a blue table with all data rows).
Next step for me was to invoke the RTF-template into the PA_CONTRACT_XSLFO template for extending the Document Type Layout for my Purchase Agreement Contract. So I put the neede invoke-statements
<xsl:import href="xdo://XXOC.XX_RTF_TEMPLATE.de.00/"/>
and
<xsl:call-template name="XX_RTF_TEMPLATE"/>
into the XSLFO-template. Also I extend the RTF-template with the define template statement
<?template:XX_RTF_TEMPLATE?>
So all seems to be fine.
As result I get the standard document for Purchase Agreement Contract with the additional blue table from RTF-template BUT WITHOUT DATA !
From my point of view there is no execution of the sql-statement in data template. But I dont know why.
Do Oracle support a combination of XSLFO-template with data template?
[XSLFO-template] with related [XSD-data definition]
calls [RTF-template] with related [data template (with included sql-statement)]
Thanks for your help.
Best regards
Mario.

How to call a rtf template from another rtf template by passing a value try in main template create hyperlink of url with parameters for another template
http://bipconsulting.blogspot.ru/2010/02/drill-down-to-detail-or-another-report.html
When user pull a quote report from siebel this new rtf template should attach to the quote at the end.it'll be only another report
IMHO you can not attach it to main. it'll be second independent report
you can try subtemplate but it's not about rtf from rtf by click
it's about call automatically rtf subtemplate from main rtf based on some conditions
for example, main template contain some data and if some condition is true then call subtemplate and place it instead of its condition

While creating the template, I have chosen the template type XSL-XML. I am trying to test this on E-business Suite (R12).
I get the error "The uploaded file TEST_temp.xsl is invalid. The file should be in XSL format."
Where am I going wrong?
I am trying to create Excel XML spreadsheets, because the excel files created using RTF templates are very huge in size. And it is taking an unacceptable amount of time to open the file. Is there any other solution to overcome this performance issue?
Regards
Nishka

Nishka,
Looks like your XSL stylesheet is missing the XML header at the top.
So normally it would look like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet....>
</xsl:stylesheet>
as an Example a stylesheet which just outputs a field:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:xdoxslt="http://www.oracle.com/XSL/Transform/java/oracle.apps.xdo.template.rtf.XSLTFunctions">
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:text>My field:</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="MYFIELD"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Report header issue in .RTF Template

Hi,
I have designed a .RTF Template, I need to display a Parameter in the header part of the template, If the Parameter doesn't contain values then I do not want to show them, Can I have If and End if condition in the header part, I believe I cannot use Field in the header part.
How do I achieve it, If you need the .RTF template i can upload.
Regards,
Ashoka BL

Hi,
Declare the parameter with the syntax <?param@begin:AAAA?>
And in the header use <?$AAAA?> if AAAA is the name of your parameter. If theres no value, it will automatically not display since the value is blank, No need of an if wrapper.
