Excel output in 5.6 version

I run the concurrent report using the XMLP 5.6, and if the output is pdf , it's ok, but when I use the Excel as the output, the output is strange.
The XMLP 5.6 is support native Excel output or not ?

Actually, this is the top portion of what I'm getting in the output --
<html>
<! -- Generated by Oracle XML Publisher 5.6.1 -->
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/>
</body>
</html>
When I do Copy File on it, this is what I get -->
The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.

  • How to find out the BI Publisher Version from the Excel output file

    Hi,
    Can any one tell me How to find out the BI Publisher Version from the Excel output file generated using BI publisher.

    Take a look at it in notepad or a text viewer... it's just a MIME/HTML file...
    Example:
    From: "Created by Oracle BI Publisher 10.1.3.4.0" <>
    Subject: Created by Oracle BI Publisher 10.1.3.4.

  • XML Publisher report not printing excel output due to special characters

    Hello,
    I am trying to create a xml publisher report which should display the output in excel. But the program completes with a warning status and the output is displayed as XML instead of excel, with some errors "An invalid character was found in text content. Error processing resource " and i think these errors are due to the special characters(eg: city/province - A Coruña, Cáceres). If i give rownum < 10 in my query, where there are no such characters it works fine and i am getting an excel output.
    Tried changing the XML encoding and it doesn't help (both mentioned below)
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    Do anyone have a solution for this
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Vetsrini,
    We're on 10.1.3.4.1 and siebel 8.1.1.3 and when trying to open a report from within siebel in the output format EXCEL (selected from the parameter applet), it just opens the document in the browser.
    Is there a way to get it to open directly in Excel? I guess the reason is the file extension*.EXCEL, how could we get the extension to be in excel format (xls)?
    We don't want our users to have to do this themself.
    Regards,

  • Excel output (with graphics)

    Hello,
    I am using Oracle reports 10g 1.2.0 version.
    We need to generate oracle reports in Excel format ("real" Excel, not delimited text) with tabular data and
    also graphics.
    I used desformat=spreasheet. But is is giving only one worksheet.
    I've found the "Output to Excel with Oracle9i Reports"
    demo but the Excel template in the demo is very simple and doesn't have graphics.
    Then I've found the following:
    http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/examples/excel_output/result/excel.jpg
    a) The above site has excel output with multiple worksheets.
    which is similar to what we need but I wasn't able to find related source (excel_emp.jsp).
    b) Using jsp if we can ahieve multiple worksheets with grapahics, please provide us examples.
    c) http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/demonstrations/excel/index.html --This site is not working to find the demo.
    Could you please help me in this?
    Thank you for any help.

    carla,
    the example you mentioned uses the JSP web source that is only available in oracle9i reports.
    in theory you can create any excel output. it is just a matter of creating the template and then adding the reports tags to populate it with data.
    you could then use reports' URL engine to produce files from this output.
    there are certainly ways to do it, but they are only available in oracle9i reports (9.0.2 and higher)

  • How to display Excel output in browser instead of client desktop

    Hi,
    Similar to PDF and Text output, Is it possible to display Excel Output In browser itself.
    Whenever we try to view the report where the output type is excel, the output opens in Excel Desktop version.
    We have a requirement where we need the output to be displayed in browser itself.
    I have tried modyfing the Viewer profiles but was not able to get the desired result. We are currently working on E-Business Suite 11g.

  • Excel output file size is large - How to make it small in size?

    Hi,
    An Excel file out put is too large when I get it from application. If I copy and paste the same content in an excel sheet , the size is too small.
    How can I fix this?
    Excel output size from application - 12.4 MB - 4500 records
    copy paste file size - 827 KB
    Oracle EBS 11.5.10.2
    BI Publisher Desktop Version - 10.1.3.4.2
    Thanks in advance.

    BIP generates an XHTML output with mime-type xls and thus Excel is invoked when it is downloaded. XHTML is text and therefore it is lenghty. When you copy and paste it in Excel you save it in binary format and compress.
    My suggestion is create an excel template instead of rtf. Not sure if this is possible for EBS (open a ticket with Oracle Support to confirm you can use excel templates in EBS the version you have).
    Reference:
    http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/entry/real_excel_templates_i
    In this way your output will be a truly binary file with size much more smaller.

  • 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

    Hi Alex,
    Thanks for your suggession.
    I have two OAF versions and i found the xml publisher version from the below java file
    $OA_JAVA/oracle/apps/xdo/common/MetaInfo.class
    in both 11.5.10 and 12.1.1 OAF versions i am seeing the below line of code
    public static final String VERSION = "Oracle XML Publisher 5.6.3";
    when i login to the application and went to the About this page option available there
    in 11.5.10 i got to see that the version
    is XML Oracle XDK Java 9.0.4.0.0 Production
    in 12.1.1 version
    XML Oracle XML Developers Kit 10.1.3.130 - Production
    But as per your seggession from the MOS document 736897.1, i came to know that it is an issue in 5.6.3
    Can you please tell me how to find out my xml publisher version in different EBS versions.
    I am using Office 2007.
    Finally,
    in the document i can see that
    Applies to:
    *BI Publisher (formerly XML Publisher) - Version 11.5 to 12.1 [Release 11.5 to 12.1]*
    Information in this document applies to any platform.
    Means this issue is not fixed even in 12.1.3.
    To resolve this issue,do we need to do the manual image setup like the way menioned in the document 736897.1?
    Thanks

  • Macros in EXCEL output from XMLP

    Hi all,
    I am using XMLP 5.5.
    I would like to know if in the 'Excel' output we obtain using XML Publisher, can we have macros. If yes then how can one achieve it? A sample would help us in exploring further.
    Thanks,
    Nitin

    Hi Tim,
    Thanks for the quick reply.
    The so called 'Excel templates' have been demonstrated to clients in this year's Oracle Open House (San Fransisco) i guess, and it is from there, that the need to develop such complex reports have come. It seems there was a demo that was given out to all the participants on this new technology. It would be great if you can share the demo with me or send me same/its link to my mail id ([email protected]). It would be extremely helpful in mapping the requirements with the upcoming tools from Oracle.
    Expecting the demo on this Excel templates from you. Awaiting the release of the new version soon.
    Thanks,
    Nitin
