Exporting Templates

We are using Oracle 10.1.4.
We have modified a template in development, we hid some items, we moved it to our Test environment and there was a page attached to the template for which the content disappeared. It would be different if the content items disappeared from the template, but in this case it disappeared from the Page using the template, which is weird.
We read the logs and received:
Here is the warning:
[10-OCT-06 16:26:53][Warning: (WWU-74244)] context = Template Pre-check
user = PORTAL Page Template TP_HR_HEADER belonging to PGRP_SHI_CNT page group is being imported in replace on import mode. Any changes done to the
template object (items, portlets, etc) on the page(s) using the template will be overwritten by the template replication when the import operation completes.
Here is the explanation from the documentation:
WWU-74244 - Page Template %1 belonging to %2 page group is being imported
in replace on import mode. Any changes done to the template object (items,
portlets, etc) on the page(s) using the template will be overwritten by the
template replication when the import operation completes.
Cause:
Page template replication deletes all template objects (items, portlets, etc) found in the pages using the template and re-creates them based on the template definition. This will remove any changes done at the page level for those template objects.
Action:
If page template needs to under-go constant updates do not make changes
to the pages' template objects. If template objects changes need to be
preserved, bring the template in reuse mode (uncheck the Replace on Import
checkbox in the manifest).
I am trying to understand the explanation above, does anyone have any suggestions? I do not want to start exporting Templates and then content from pages using these disappearing. I am wondering if this is a bug in Portal?
This would defeat the purpose of developing in a Development environment and then exporting to Test and then Production because content will start disappearing.
Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
Juan

Dear Juan,
No, this is not a bug. This is the expected behaviour. It may seem kind of weird, right? But if you have in mind what happens you'll somehow understand it better.
What happens is due to the template replication to the pages. Remember that templates are something from which you base your pages. If those change then expect the pages to be changed too. What can you do to bring it back to the right place again?
I'll give you a pointer to the documentation:-
Oracle® Application Server Portal Configuration Guide 10g Release 2 (10.1.4) -- Part No B19305-03
10.3.1.7 Portal Templates
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/portal.1014/b19305/cg_imex.htm#CCJGJHFC
=> Check there the workaround section, ie, you'll have to import 1st the templates and later the Page Group/Pages.
I hope the above is somehow clear... Anything just update this thread.
On an aside note, I strongly encourage you to perform a VALID backup to your Target Portal before you do any kind of Portal Import as it will be a lot easier for you to recover from previous state in case you need or you feel it doesn't work as you expect.
Cheers,
Pedro.
PS - There is an Enhancement Request to somehow improve this logic - ER:5243558 - ENH TEMPLATE REPLICATION FOR THE PORTAL EXPORT / IMPORT.

Export Template

Can anyone tell me how I change the look and feel of the export templates to PDF and Excel. I want to change the color, font, etc?
Thanks

Hi Michael,
Pls try this:
<u><i><b>Print Dialog Options 1</b></i></u>
In the print dialog screen, various options for formatting the output can be set.
Layout options:
Fit the output to the page width and continue on subsequent pages if necessary.
Fit the output to one page.
Fit the output over several pages in a poster format. This allows the output pages to be reassembled in a larger format.
Margin options:
Top, bottom, left and right margins can be set in various units of measure.
<i><u><b>Print Dialog Options 2</b></u></i>
Depending on the color capabilities of the output device, a colored or grayscale theme can be chosen.
The output page size and page orientation can be specified.
Up to three components of both the footer and header (left, center and right) can be specified on the fly.
When all print options have been selected, the PDF file is ready to be generated.
***PLS ASSIGN POINTS,IF INFO IS USEFUL**

Customize Export template

Hi,
I would like to generate a Outlook Calendar file (.vsc, plain text) from HTMLDB. I think the "Export CSV File" template is an easy way to try. I know we can add a HTML region for customized text from the follow thread:
Add text to downloaded CSV file
Now my question is how to change the extension to .vsc ? Is there any way to customize an export template ?
Thank you very much!

I would suggest you try the trial version of Acrobat to see if it meets your needs (just create a simply form from within Acrobat -- not the online form tool). Each field is given a field name and is saved accordingly. You can save a response (probably sent as a FDF data file) by opening the FDF file in the PDF form and then using the Manage Data to save or append to a CSV file (I think CSV is an option). It would be hoped that you can create the order of the fields to meet the needs of the specific CSV file. You might get a bit better info in the forms sub-forum, though many of the folks will be checking here eventually.

PowerPoint Export: Templates

Hi,
I would like to be able to export to a powerpoint template slide instead of a blank slide. Has anyone been able to get Xcelsius to do this?
Reasoning behind: as there is no preview mode in the PowerPoint, I've made a text on which the dashboard overlays. It basically says "start this powerpoint in presentation mode to see the dashboard". Once the presentation is started, the text is faded out instantly and the dashboard shown. Having to copy paste Xcelsius into these new sheets is tedious. Prefer to have export to a template straight away.

Hi,
If you are using Office 2007, then you can create a custom layout in Powerpoint. Then you would only have to export your dashboard and the click on you custom layout to apply the correct format. Here is how you do that:
Click the View tab, then click the Slide Master button in the Presentation Views group. The slide master appears.
On the Slide Master tab, in the Edit Master group, choose Insert Layout. A new layout appears in the left pane.
Again on the Slide Master tab, in the Master Layout group, click the Insert Placeholder button's down arrow and choose one of the 8 placeholder types.
Drag on the slide to size and place the placeholder.
Place more placeholders, laying them out as needed.
When you're done, click the layout in the left pane, display the Slide Master tab. In the Edit Master group, click the Rename button. Enter a name and click Rename.
The presentation now contains the new layout and you can choose it the same way you'd choose any of the standard layouts for any slide.
If you want to use the layout in the future, save the file as a template (.potx, or .potm if it contains macros) or theme (thmx).

It does not solve your problem 100%, but it is a workaround.

Import/export - templates not working?

We're just trying to deploy our Portal application into the production environment, and having a lot of problems. We're still on 3.0.6.6.5.
Firstly - if we import something more than once it creates a 2nd version. I've seen messages on this forum saying the -m switch has values of new/reuse, but the docs say check or create only. Is this a change at 3.0.7 or 3.0.8? I'm a little nervous about deleting objects in the production environment, we've been having random problems with metadata corruption when deleting objects in the dev environment.
Secondly, we have our own template which is assigned to all application components. When we tried to export/import the template, we got no errors but it obviously didn't work. When we tried to edit the template to take a look at it, we got an error saying we're missing some dependent objects. The only objects referenced by the template are images and fonts - we haven't created our own, we've reused standard images & fonts, so why are we getting this error?

Answers to your questions :
1. One cannot import the same component twice on the same portal instance. You might have tried the import with -m check option.
2. There are two modes in which an application/component import can run :
CREATE and CHECK.
3.Can you specify the exact error that you got when you tried to edit the template?
Thanks and Regards

How do you edit the HTML export template?

Fireworks HTML and images export does not render correctly when viewing in IE9 due to the default browser padding values. I'm a little disappointed the Fireworks dev team didn't see this coming and add some code to prevent this rendering issue. Anyway... I've come up with a work around to edit the html pages by adding my own style sheet which includes the yahoo CSS reset styles to take care of this problem and it works great. The only problem is, adding it to every page of a multiple page export is tedious. So, I'd like to directly edit the HTML template fireworks uses to generate the html in the head of each page it exports so it includes a reference to my own external style sheet. I just need to know where/if I can make this change. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Greg

I've never tried it, but the HTML Code folder inside Fireworks' application Configuration folder contains a number of items related to HTML Export. (Incidentally, I'd never mess with this folder without first saving a backup, and even then it's at your own risk.)
There's no simple HTML template file here, but there are files like "DreamweaverLibrary.htt", which is a "hypertext template" file that looks a lot like JavaScript to me. So if you're comfortable modifying JavaScript, then you could take a crack at it. I'm not sure, but it looks like this library file might govern what gets written into the head of an exported HTML document. If not, you could try a different one.
Another, less invasive approach might be to do some kind of Find and Replace on the exported HTML documents—using Dreamweaver or a text editor.

AME - Windows Media export, default templates and non-square pixels

In Adobe Media Encoder the default Windows Media export templates have non-square Pixel Aspect Ratio. In Windows Media Player 9, if you play AME's wmvs with non-square pixels all you get is a vertical line a few pixels wide (though they play fine in WMP10 & 11).
There is definitely a problem with non-square pixels.
Using AME, if you create a PAL wmv (720x576 with DV PAL P.A.R.) you get the display problem in WMP9, whereas a D-1 PAL wmv (768x576 with square P.A.R.) will display fine. If you encode the same content with exact the same settings (codec, resolution, etc) with Microsoft's Windows Media 9 Encoder, the resultant output plays fine regardless of the P.A.R!
One for you chaps at Adobe I think:
If Windows Media Encoder can create WMP9 compatible wmvs, why can't Adobe Media Encoder?
or if there is a problem with non-square PARs, then why is it an option on export - remove it until it is fixed?
Any support would be greatly appreciated.
Edmund Barton
I'm using Prem 4.1 with AME 4.1 against Windows ME 9. WMP9 is the base player we have to support, so upgrading all the players isn't a option.

If you can't upgrade the players, then using Windoes Media Enoder may be your only option. Adobe just came out with a 4.1 patch, so it's unlikely you'll see any more 'fixes' in the very near future.

Exporting Markers - Modifying Template

Hi,
When exporting markers, is it possible to modify the export template? I'd like to remove a few columns of data that are not necessary for my desired log.
Thanks for any info!

Hi Michael,
Thanks for the quick reply! Only downside to cleanup in Excel is the loss of thumbnails.
My current logging need is to report 3rd Party Media Usage within a finished program. Here we really only need IN/OUT/DUR and COMMENT field. Thumbnail export is a great bonus! (I used Sub-Clip to create a quick test.)
It would be a nice feature to be able to select what data to display on export, or modify a template.
Thanks Again,
Aaron

Exporting vm / template in OVF/OVA format.

How do i export an img file & cfg file to an OVA bundle. Can export the current vm but they are stored as independent .cfg and img files under Templates/
Objective is to import the vm into another virtual machine instance (which is the ODAv2 virtualized box).
I can use the individual vm.cfg & System.img file to spin up an instance, but i cannot import it as a template (as no single OVA or OVF archive is created) / Note : ODA has no OVM Manager. It uses "extended" oakcli commands to import/export templates only.

Hello.
There is JeOS as VM template.
You should check it out.

Export checklist templates (workaround?)

Hey people,
We are changing form a sandboxsystem to a development system.
I created several large checklist templates and i would like to reuse them in the new system.
Is there a possibility to export and import them ?
This post says exporting templates is not possible:
cProjects - IDES data
cProjects - IDES data
But since it's in XML i think there should exist a workaround?
example : If we know the location we can manually copy them or somehting?
Plz adivce
Thanks alot in advance

Hey,
In that case, you would again need to create this at the time of creation in Production Server?
If so, try creating a program using RFC, (based on maintainable table entries) run the code in Dev to fetch data from Sandbox and this way you can still use this in Production to pull from Quality/Testing.
Another option is to save the data form Sandbox in XLS and then import using same program
your custom program can have radio button [import] [export]
In Sandbox use [Export]
In Devl use [Import]
Try using following FMs in program, its pretty easy.
BAPI_BUS2164_CREATE
BAPI_BUS2164_GET_DETAIL
Let me know if it helps!

Template for print

Hello, colleagues!
I would like to set default template for printing.
Admin guide says:
4. Configure the Flash print and export templates:
a. Select the Default Template from the drop-down list to the left.
Additional Flash print templates can be implemented using the add-on manager.
page 41 (pdf:51)
There is option browsing for files in add-on manager, file with template for print named: add-on-template.zip, after trying to load this file manager says:
floder name must begin with the prefix 'add-on'
I can't add my own template, so I can't choose my own template as default in Print/Export Preferences.
Thanks.
Best regards.
Alexander.

Hi Alex,
Do you mean that they are not available to select or that the settings from your template are not being read?
I browsed t hrough some project notes from a recent project and I noticed a bug where the templates were not being imported correctly. You need to check your template before import and then do the same afterwards - this will tell you if the issue is occuring.
If it is then raise an OSS message.
Best regards,
Luke

Output from Web Analysis Related Content will not Export to Excel

I have Web Analysis reports, data in which is sourced from an EIS database. I have drill thru reports that are accessible from "Related Content". The resulting report is created fine, but cannot be exported into Excel. Specifically, I'm prompted for the location of Excel on my pc. Once I browse to it, it will open in Excel.
I have upgraded from Office 10 to Office 12, although I cannot say for certain that is when this problem started occurring.
Secondly, there are no other BI+ issues with export to Excel. For example, FR and WA export fine. The ExcelPath in the webanalysis.properties file takes care of that. I'm hoping there is something similar to update for this problem.
Thanks for reading, hopefully someone else has encountered this and successfully resolved. BI+ version is 9.3.1.

Have you tried the print button in the web analyzer it does export the input filter parameters as part of the exported PDF document.
You can include any additional text elements and use a custom export template if required.

Financial Statement Export Completed with Error

Submit 'Financial Statement Export' with the parameter as following:
Ledger Name:& Ledger Name
Report: &Predefined FSG Report
Period: &Period
Rounding Option:Calculate Then Round
Segment Override: Null
Accounting Date:&Date
Template:Balance Sheet Export
Template Locale:Null
Destination File Name:Q_ZCFZB.TXT
The error message is '100:ORA-01403: no data found'.
However, through 'NS2011 (Financial Statement Generator)' & 'Financial Statement Generator (XML Report Publisher)' ,Data of the same '& Ledger Name'、'&Predefined FSG Report'、'&Period' could be outputed successfully. And the template of 'FSG: Basic Template' was chosen since Balance Sheet Export couldn't be selected in ''Financial Statement Generator (XML Report Publisher)'.
The questions are,
1、How the error ''100:ORA-01403: no data found'' happened?
2、Why is the two value set of 'Template' different?
3、What't the mean by 'Destination File Name'?
Many Thanks,
Jing

Output from Web, Printing OR Export to Excel

Hi.
A minimum requirement for GoLive of our Web project is that there should be some way of outputting the result of the query, and for the time being we can live with it being EITHER printing OR Export to Excel. (Output to Excel means output to 'proper' Excel, not a web appearance of Excel)
Output that doesn't include the selected input parameters (and the report title) is not fit for purpose, and it appears that in order to overcome this hurdle on either means of output I have to resort to Prakash's blog on using the XPATH programming language.
Or maybe note 1069368 on PDF export, but using 0ANALYSIS_PATTERN_EXPORT also appears to not work.
Or we use the Information field (text elements, I believe) in a Container Web Item. But adding text elements one by one is not a workable solution either.
Or The 3rd-Party route. But we really don't want to go there.
SO.... standing back a little. SURELY, I think, someone out there has been here before, its not rocket science that I'm trying to do!
So what is my question? Well, I want to know how other people have addressed this issue, please...
3rd Party solution?
Programming?
Is there another OSS note that tells you really what to do?
Or...
I have spent several days investigating this, by the way, so although I MAY have missed the obvious, I don't believe I have.
As a reward, as well as giving points, I have several documents that I have created, I am willing to share. How 0ANALYSIS_PATTERN is built, maybe, with screenshots? Or a WORKABLE version 7 workbook template for multiple queries?
Thanks,
Patrick

Hi Patrick,
The version info is: wwv_flow_api.set_version(p_version_yyyy_mm_dd=>'2009.01.12');
This should be wwv_flow_api.set_version(p_version_yyyy_mm_dd=>'2012.01.01');
... but this error is due to a manual modification of the export file.
We parameterise some values, so that the we can use the old-school DEFINE variables in our deploy process via SQL/plus.
One of the developers made a copy-paste error when doing that ...
So there is no bug !
Thanks for the tip !!
Kind regards,
Karel
