Excel Output for Standard Reports using XML Publisher

Hi All,
Customer wants to get Excel Output for the existing Standard/Custom Reports using XML Publisher. I followed the following procedure.
1. Changed the output to XML for Concurrent program ( Trial Balance - Detail )
2. Used the Existing seeded Template
3. Ran the Report using EXCEL as the output.
When I clicked on View Output, I am not able to see the Excel output. I am seeing the HTML tags in the output window. Verified that Viewer Options existed for Excel as follows:
File Format=Excel, Mime Type=application/vnd.ms-excel.
When I ran the report with PDF output. I can see the PDF output.
Ran the HTML output with new Viewer Option ( File Format=HTML, Mime Type=application/vnd.ms-excel) then I can see the output in Browser in the Excel format. I did this test after going through the Metalink Note: Note:316752.1
My question is.. Do I need always choose the HTML ouput in the options window to trigger the Viewer option for HTML. Customer may not like this idea. He would like to choose the Excel Output and see the output in Excel format either in the Browser or Microsoft Excel.
Can someone in this situation before help me out.
Thanks,
V

Questions rephrase:
1. Is the output is same for HTML and Excel options ?
2. Why the output is viewable with HTML option and not with Excel option ?
Customer has XML Publisher Version 5.0.1 and in the process of applying 5.6.1
Thanks,

Excel output for the xml publisher report when it is [b]scheduled [/b]

How to get the excel output for the xml publisher report when it is scheduled by a apps user? Like what is the user profile option (for the apps user who runs the report) and what are the other things that needs to be taken care of so that only this xml publisher report run by this apps user produces a EXCEL output (When scheduled) ???
Really appreciate it if any one can help me in this regards.
Thanks
Munna

Hi Munna,
For eBusiness Suite (apps user) the report output is stored the same way whether executed immediately or scheduled.,To get excel set the options > output format to Excel. Only the user that submitted the report can view it, or you can get the output file from the server. Or you can set the notify option so that a Workflow Notification is sent when the request completes.

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

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.
regards
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.

Printing multiple copies of output for A template with different page Heade

Hi Vetri,
I am trying for a similar requirement as explained in the link below
http://winrichman.blogspot.com/2008/09/multiple-invoice-copy.html
I am facing two problems with 80% of the work done.
I mailed the template and xml to your id.
Please help in solving the problem
Best Regards,
Mahi

I found the issue with my report. I gave the syntax wrong when ending for-each for group. Using Variables no longer gives error and the issue is resolved with syntax as below.
Header Information
<?for-each-group@section: /yyy/LIST_G_xxx/xxx; COPIES?>
<?variable@incontext:G1;current-group()?>
<?for-each@section:xdoxslt:foreach_number($_XDOCTX,1,current-group()/COPIES,1)?>
<?end for-each?>
<?end for-each-group?>
<?start:body?>
Here goes the body
<?start:last-page:body?> <?end body?>
I inserted a page break here through word tools
Here goes special instructions which only prints on last page
<?end body?>
But... I am still working on a related issue to print the Copy Number on the Header. For example if the Copy being printed is 1 it should print Set#1 on header, for 2nd Copy Set#2 and etc.
I saw in some post that the variable can not be used out of Loop. Can someone help how to accomplish this.
TIA

How we can get the output in excel format for Spawned programs?

My requirement is to get the excel output for some of the programs (like -Adjustment Register, Applied Receipts Register). I am trying to achieve this by BI Publisher. But these programs has "Spawned" executable. And when I am changing the output type as"XML" I am getting below error in output-
"XML Parsing Error: syntax error"
Can anyne suggest how we can get an XML output and then excel output for Spawned programs?
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
If I get it right, you want to convert RXi (Reports Exchange) reports such as Adjustment Register & Applied Receipts Register into XML Publisher. Normally, you need to change the "Output Format" of the program called by the "Spawned" program to 'XML' -- not the "Spawned" program itself.
However, I believe RXi reports does not support XML output (atleast in 11i). It could only work on Text & Html format. Check on the metalink note below:
432719.1 - RXi-Only Reports Generate XML Format Exception With No Output Setting the Output Format to XML
Hope this helps.

Excel Output is being displayed as HTML in the browser

Hi All,
I am using PeopleSoft XML Publisher 5.6.2 to generate an Excel report using RTF template. The report runs successfully.
However, when I click the Output file link in the View Log page of process scheduler, the file is being displayed as a HTML page, though the extension of the file is .xls.
Also when I try to save the file by using 'Save Taget as' option, the browser prompts me to save the file as 'mhtm' file and not 'xls' file.
The following is an extract from the output file.
<html>

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/>
<title>IM Top 10 Surplus & Deficit Locations</title>
After doing some research on Internet, I found the following blog post(dated back in 2008) to describe my situation and a workaround to the problem.
http://peoplesofttipster.com/2008/04/16/xls-xmlp-output-opening-in-browser-not-excel/
http://peoplesofttipster.com/2008/04/18/xls-xmlp-output-opens-in-browser-workaround/
Workaround described in the above blog post is to update the charset to us-ascii replacing UTF-8. This seems to work. But with limited file processing capabilities of peoplecode, this workaround is not a simple solution.
I also verified the mime-type mapping in the web.xml file in the webserver. Please find below the .xls mime-type mapping in the web.xml file.
<mime-mapping> <extension> xls </extension> <mime-type> application/vnd.ms-excel</mime-type></mime-mapping>
Question:
1.How do I force the browser to open the excel output file using either Excel plugin or Excel Application instead of displaying it as HTML page?
2.If not the above, how can I force the system to promt the user to save the file as Excel file instead of mhtml?
Additional details :
work enivronment
PeopleSoft FSCM 8.9
PeopleTools 8.48.17
Oracle 10g
Windows NT
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Vamsi Krishna

Please try this by Open windows explorer, Click Tools -> Folder Options ->,Click on File Types and Select XLS from the list, Click Advanced, select "Open" and Make sure the “Browse in same window” is not selected.
Hope this helps,

Add new font to PO Output for Communication Report

I'm trying to add a new font (Edwardian Script ITC) to the PO Output Communication report. I have added the font file through XML Publisher Administrator, and I have an RTF template report and a test XSL-FO report both correctly displaying the font. The PO Output for Communication report is not displaying the font and I believe it has something to do with the fact that it is a java concurrent program.
Any ideas on what additional steps need to be done to get this font to show up on the PO Output for Communication? Has anyone been successful in adding a different font to this report?
Thanks,
Suzanne

My RTF template is showing the font, and my test XSL-FO template is showing the font. The PO Output for Communication XSL-FO template is NOT showing the font.
I even tested by replacing the PO Output for Communication template file with my test template file. When I do that the font not applied in the PO Output for Communication report, even though it was applied using the same template in a test report.
