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

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.

Generating reports in RTF and using scandic letters.

Hi,
I'm having problems generating reports in RTF and using scandic letters in column/table comments (Description field). For example word "käyttäjätunnus" transforms in "kÃ¤yttÃ¤jÃ¤tunnus"!
PDF works well.
Thanks,
user12957891

Hi,
I've just tested and looks like display problem.
Both MSWord and WordPad are showing "kÃ¤yttÃ¤jÃ¤tunnus" instead of "käyttäjätunnus". But if you open RTF file with some text editor you will find "käyttäjätunnus" not "kÃ¤yttÃ¤jÃ¤tunnus" inside. So I suppose Word (Windows?) needs some filter(s) for scandic or something like that. But I guess you already have it ...
I will search solution and if I find I'll write here.
BTW: What do you use to open RTF, version ?

Excel changes needed from RTF Template

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,
Kumar.

From two given tables, how do you fetch the values from two columns using values from one column(get values from col.A if col.A is not null and get values from col.B if col.A is null)?

From two given tables, how do you fetch the values from two columns using values from one column(get values from col.A if col.A is not null and get values from col.B if col.A is null)?

Hi,
Use NVL or COALESCE:
NVL (col_a, col_b)
Returns col_a if col_a is not NULL; otherwise, it returns col_b.
Col_a and col_b must have similar (if not identical) datatypes; for example, if col_a is a DATE, then col_b can be another DATE or it can be a TIMESTAMP, but it can't be a VARCHAR2.
For more about NVL and COALESCE, see the SQL Language manual: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e26088/functions119.htm#sthref1310
I hope this answers your question.
If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for all tables involved, and also post the results you want from that data.
Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
Always say which version of Oracle you're using (e.g., 11.2.0.2.0).
See the forum FAQ: https://forums.oracle.com/message/9362002

Problem in generating oracle 10g reports to rtf Template? (Emergency)

Hi Team,
I had a problem in generating rdf to rtf template.. I had an rdf template with place holders like this
Hi i "Employee" <Empno> and my salary is <Empsal>
but after the generation by using BIBatchConversion , i am getting partial rtf file like this
Hi i "Employee"
i am not getting the rest of the design... do i need to overwrite the rtf manually or do we have any other conversion process when we are using placeholders in rdf reports...

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 ?

Problem using WSDL from SAP in IBM's RAD for generating web service client

When importing a WSDL from the ABAP stack on a SAP 6.40 system into IBM's RAD tool for generating a web service client there are errors with the soap fault classes that get generated. The WSDL declares the types for the faults with WebServiceName.RfcException and these have elements of name, text, and message. When the tools see this in the WSDL they generate classes that extend the Java exeception class and this causes an error because the "message" name conflicts with the standard java exception message. Has anyone else ran into this problem? It seems like a basic problem many java tools for generating web service client proxies would have because the soap faults get turned into java exceptions. This name conflict of the java exception with the WSDL fault definition means that code always needs to be adjusted and cannot simply use the classes that are generated from the WSDL. Anyone run across this or a similar problem in the java environment using the SAP WSDL?
Aaron

Hi,
Hello again .
Have you tried your service using soapui ?
You can use your WSDL as input .
In order to eliminate eclipse problem try this service:(I just did)

Generating BIP report in RTF format generates blank report

Hi all,
When generating a BIP report in RTF format the report output is blank!?
If I run the report in any other format the report displays the data correctly.
We're running siebel 8.1.1.2 and BIP 10.1.3.4.1.
When looking at the size of the report when the 'File Download' window appears it seem like the report contains data as the size is 62KB, compared to the pdf format which do display data is 20KB. The output generates the amount of pages that is needed for the report, but all pages are blank.
The report is an activity List report with just one for-each statement in it.
Has anybody come across the same?

Hi alka,
To invoke Word automatically, use command
line options DESTYPE=CACHE,
DESFORMAT=RTF and MIMETYPE=application/msword.
This is an example URL: http://webserver:80/cg-bin/rwcgi60.exe?module
=test.rdf&userid=scott/tiger@mydb&
destype=cache&desformat=rtf&mimetype=application/msword&server=myrepserver
1. Check the appropriate mimetype setting for Word by Starting Windows Explorer,
choose View -> Options from the menu, go to the File Type tab, find Microsoft
Word Document in this list, click Edit, and get the value for Content Type
(MIME). This is the value that needs to be used in the MIMETYPE command line
option, and it will typically be application/msword, but may differ on
different machines.

Hi ,
One 'simple' way is by using the DBMS_SCHEDULER db package and the procedure CREATE_JOB(....) using as job_type the value 'EXECUTABLE'...
Read for further info in 'PL/SQL Packages and Types Reference'.
If you have access to OEM ... you can configure this there using wizard.....
Other way is to use the External Procedure call capabiblity of Oracle DB Server...:

Can one generate a report in Word document using PL/SQL?

We have a weekly status report application created in APEX, is there a way to generate a report in MS Word document (including formatting the doc) using PL/SQL by pulling data from Oracle database? Please shed some lights on this and any info and experience would be greatly appreciated.
We use Oracle11g and apex version 3.1.1.00.09
Thanks!

Hi Tony,
you are right, the NEW format isn't necessarily improved, also the user would need at least Office 2007 or higher.
Still it is possible to do that ;-)
And yes, there are other possibilities, but this question is dealing with Word documents (.doc i assume).
Also my Statement "docx = XML" isn't clear enough. Docx is a zipped file which contains a xml file. Details: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Docx
sorry for the confusions,

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

Bolding rows in RTF template using tags

In an rtf template, is there a way to bold an entire row in the table using tags rather than building two rows (one bold, one unbold) and put them in a if condition?
if
[BOLD ROW]
else
[UNBOLD ROW]
end if

This should do it
<?if@row:number(EMPNUM)=10003?>
<?attribute@incontext:font-weight;'bold'?>
<?end if?>
slot this into a cell on the table row
