Format of output from BLS

When I create a web refence in .NET for a business logic transaction using the following format:
http://server:port/XMII/WSDLGen/transaction
The output for the xacute method is of type "Rowset". Is there a way to get this method to return standard xml ? Typically, that's what most web services return.
Is this something that .NET is doing on it's own or is it the way I'm creating the web reference ?
BTW I'm using xMII Version 12.0

Glenn, another alternative instead of using the web service invocation of the BLS transaction is to use the "Runner" servlet instead. You'll get back metadata in the XML that you can use to dynamically create the column metadata in an ADO Dataset object. Same basic idea, but you won't need reflection. You can just parse/process the XML. In a previous life, I built a wrapper class that executed any transaction and converted the results to a bindable dataset. You'll be able to do the same. I might even have the code lying around somewhere, as I know I sent it to a bunch of other people to use when I was at SAP.

Need Formatted html output from Xalan

We use xalan xslt processor to convert
xml document to html. Everything works
fine, except the output is unformatted html.
(ie. several HTML elements appear on the
same line. Some lines are longer than 1000
characters). This happens inspite of me
specifying the HTML elements in different
lines in the xsl.
I would like to know if there is any way, I can generate formatted html output.
Thanks

have u tried
<xsl:output indent="yes"/>
in your stylesheet?

Text output from 11i Reports to Excel - bad Format

Hi All,
We have a report in Oracle Apps 11i(11.5.10) with Text as output format. We would like to open the file in Excel format.
We have done the recommended setups from the metalink note ID 316752.1.
Output is generated in Excel, but the format is not proper. Column level data is not displayed on Cell wise in the Excel, instead all the output is
dispalyed in single column in the Excel.
Any pointers on how to format the output to align each column in the output to the individual cell in the Excel.
Or else.. how to generate the output to Excel file?
Regards,
Ram

Consider a 3rd-party tool as a solution. For a list of such tools, see http://www.kenhamady.com/bookmarks.html.
There is at least one Report Manager on that list that can automate the process of exporting a Crystal report to PDF and converting the resulting PDF to an image (BMP, JPEG, WMF, EMF, EPS, PNG, GIF, or TIF). You can call that Report Manager from your application via a command line api.

How to get XML format output from Hyperion Financial Reporting

Dears,
We are using Hyperion Financial Reporting to replace FSG in fusion. I found that Hyperion FR report can be exported to html/excel/pdf format. However, I would like the report to export to xml format.It means I only need the xml data source.
Anyone who knows how to get the xml format output from Hyperion FR, is there any avaiable API?

I think if you export the report, you will be able to open the .des file in Notepad/Wordpad and see xml content.

Use [ pre ] and [ /pre ] with no sapce.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/forums/faq.html#q14
But,for your question, using to_char or lpad, you can format.
dbms_output.put_line(i || ' - ' || tabname || ' -- ' ||lpad(rc,20)) ;
-- Oops, I correct as following.
dbms_output.put_line(rpad(i || ' - ' || tabname || ' -- ' ,60)||lpad(rc,20)) ;

How to Generate CSV Output from JD Edwards BI Publisher

Hi All,
I have a report "Critical Date Report" - R15611 in JD Edwards 8.11. This report has to be generated as CSV output from BI Publisher which is embedded to JDE.
The purpose we want use BI Publisher is to move some of the data displaying to different place in the page(ex: Move the company address from top left corner to Bottom right corner).
In order to achieve this
1.We created blank rtf template and upload to XML repository using P95600 application
2.Create report definition using P95620 application
3.Here I see the available output types as PDF,RTF,HTML,EXCEL,POWERPOINT and XML,ETEXT(GRAYED OUT)
Which output type we can use for CSV ?
4.Execute the report definition of the critical date report from P95620 to get the XML source
5.This XML source will be loaded into the blank rtf template
6.From this point no idea how to design the rtf template in order to get the CSV output.
7.We did design and output type as excel - but the result data is not in good formatting and alignment*(Headers and footers are repeating).*
If any one has worked on similar type of requirement,let us know how to do or send a sample XML source,rtf template and how the CSV output will be. Or any document link present in Oracle site will be helpful. Please let me know if you need more details.
Thanks in Advance.
Vijay

Hi Vijay,
For CSV output, you need an E-text template (not RTF) that's why its grayed out! You can use Excel as output type and have (No headers and footers) , then you can open the file in Excel and store it as CSV. Does not always display correctly though.
Why are you compelled to use BI publisher? you can use the JDE standard csv output report, (as is used by most EDI systems) of course this may involve a bit of customization if you wants the fields arranged differently.

Changing the seeded rdf report output from text to PDF

Hi All,
I am trying to change the seeded report "Print Requisition Report" output from text to PDF. I changed the output format in the concurrent program definition from text to pdf. The report is now getting displayed in pdf format, but the alignment of the fields are changed. The output is not printing as it was printing while in the text output format. The output looks very sloppy, with uneven fonts and too much of text wrapping.
I tried some formatting and fields are somehow getting displayed but doesnt look in proper format. I am not able to change the font style in the report builder 6i, even if i change it is printing in the same font style with uneven font size. I think reducing the font size might help, but i am unable to change.We are on 11.5.10.2. Please provide your valuable suggestions on how to go about.
Thanks
Sarvesh

Hi Hussein,
Thanks for the information. After the adjustments in the layout and the font change the report is now getting displayed without any clipping when clicked on view output. But when the same report is printed some characters on the left and and right side is getting clipped. Please help on how to solve this issue.
Thanks,
Sarvesh

How can I save a page and all its component parts in a single file, like IE does as an MHT - it's much easier for mailing to people where page address not available?? (as in output from an airline booking site, for example)

how can I save a page and all its component parts in a single file, like IE does as an MHT?
It's much easier for mailing to people where page address not available?? (as in output from an airline booking site, for example)
It is simply too painful to have to zip everything up into a single file to send. MHT format has been available for years now from IE, and with every new FF release it's the first thing I look for. I have been using FF for years, and hate having to come out of it, over into IE |(which I even took out of startup) and key everything in again, in order to send somebody something in a convenient format that they can open with a single click.
I can't believe this hasn't been asked before, so have you looked at it and rejected it? Have MS kept the file format secret?
Thanks
MG

This is not really an answer just my comments on your question.
I am sure I recollect efforts being made to get mhtml to work with FF.
Probably the important thing to remember about .mhtml is that if other browsers do support it they may need addons, and may not necessarily render the content correctly/consistently.
There are FF addons designed for archiving webpages, you could try them, but that then assumes the recipient has the same software.
You could simply save the page from FF to your XP pc; then offline open it with and save it using IE, before then emailing using FF, and attaching the .mht or mhtml file that you have now created on your PC.
As an alternative method, in some cases it could be worth considering taking a screen grab of the required page, then sending that to the recipient as a single email attatchment using either a bitmap or jpeg file format for instance.
Something such as an airline booking may be designed with a print option, possibly it could be worthwile looking at sending the print file itself as an email attachment.

By using a signed applet i am lunching a small application that returns an image object, how to read that without storing it in the hard disk.
Which means i need to read the image object return by the local application using applet or jsp .

You can write that image in a binary format using OutputStream for System.out and then read it in your applet.

Formatted HTML output with Spry regions - is it possible?

I have recently begun using the XML export extension in
conjunction with an Access database to output dynamic data into a
page with a Spry master/detail setup. So far, my simple example is
going great, but I've run into a snag that I need some help with.
To explain what I'm doing - it's a simple article page with
the list of articles on the left with the title and date and the
article title and full contents on the right hand side. So far it's
all working very well, updating in real time when I click an
article title on the left. The problem is the output with this one
field which stores not only text, but also HTML formatting that is
generated by a wysiwyg editor used on the article creation side of
this little app. This HTML formatted content is the article body
and is stored in a field named the same - "body". With traditional
ASP, the HTML formatting displays as expected and all is well, but
with Spry, it doesn't output formatted HTML, but instead shows the
content and HTML code together as text. How can I get this one
field ("body") to be output so all the HTML formatting is shown?
This is my simple page example. Click through and you'll see
what I mean.
http://www.shoestodyefor.com/ajax.asp
Here's the section of code in question regarding the output
on that right hand panel where the body is displayed for each
article:
<div spry:detailregion="ds1">
{title}<br />
{entryDate}<br />
<br />
{body}
/div>
Is it possible to have that {body} section shown so the
dynamically created HTML code from the wysiwyg editor is displayed
correctly?

The version of Spry that ships with Dreamweaver CS3 (Spry
1.4) doesn't
support the type of output created by the XML Export
extension.
This issue has been corrected in Spry 1.5, but no plans have
been made
public for integrating Spry 1.5 into Dreamweaver CS3. You
would need to
download Spry 1.5 from
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/.

of how to hand-code the fix for output from XML Export are

How do I maintain column formatting when converting from PDF to Excel?

How do I maintain column formatting when converting from PDF to Excel? All info is no longer on the lines or in the columns they started out being in? Any help would be appreciated.

Sara,
Perhaps I am expecting too much from Adobe ExportPDF. The reason I subscribed to this service, for which I pay a yearly fee, was that I need a way to convert scanned and digital documents to Word &/or Excel. I read the link you included but to be candid the more I tried to understand what was written the more confused I got. The process should not be this difficult. Currently I am using a NEAT scanner to create PDF documents of whatever I scan. After I changed the OCR setting on Adobe ExportPDF the output was much better but not to the point it was usable as it was. Information that appears to be lines and columns are sometimes not recognizing two columns and just putting them together in one. Obviously not usable. The other thing it does is bunch numbers that appear in a column that are just a bunch of numbers that I have no way of fixing.
Please let me speak to someone who can help me. Right now I not getting anything of value in my paid subscription.
