BI Publisher - PO_DISPATCH Error generating report output

Hi everyone,
Sorry for my bad english... having said that...
I need to modify the Purchase Order print. First, I wanted to see the standard version to get an idea of how much different it was. Well, I don't know because it doesn't work.
Error:
Error generating report output: (235,2309)
Error occurred during the process of generating the output file from template file, XML data file, and translation XLIFF file.
I know there are several topics on the web, but all of them are about new or custom reports, this is a standard one. When I preview the report on the report definition it works fine, so I assume there's a problem with the XML file generated. When I preview the report specifying an alternative XML I get the same error. The XML file I choose was the one generated by PeopleSoft when trying to view the printable version of the PO online.
So, I start cutting portions of the XML File. I started leaving only de Header Data and it works OK, when I add the Lines it failed. I add the Line Fields one by one to detect what was the problem... And finally it failed when I add AMT_LINE_MAX. Why? No idea, is it because its value is '0,000' instead of '0.000'? I don't think that should be the problem since there are other numeric fields on the header, all with ',' as a decimal separator...
Am I missing some configuration?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Veronica.

Have a look at the following doc:
"Error generating report output. (235,2309)" When Running the "PO XMLP Dispatch" XML Publisher Report (PO_DISPATCH) for a Purchase Order with a Ship To Location with Special Characters in the Address [ID 1299876.1]
https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/DocContentDisplay?id=1299876.1
Stating this happens for example when there is a location with special characters.

Generate XML output using DBMS_XMLGEN.getxmltype and not from rdf

Hi,
I have a requirement to display output from a particular table in XL format. Out of all the known possible options, I am planning to use the XML publisher to generate XL output.
For the data source, instead of using the conventional way of creating XML data using rdf,I am planning to use DBMS_XMLGEN.getxmltype pl/sql procedure to generate the XML output. And from the output, call the template to generate the required Excel output.
Now, I am using the following code to generate XML output but am not sure how to proceed from here. I need to first print the XML data in the FND Output file after which I was planning to call the 'XML Report Publisher' (XDOREPPB) program and use the current request id to get the excel output but I am not able to find the way to print the XML data in the output file as:
fnd_file.put_line (fnd_file.output, l_xml_type); - is throwing an error as l_xml_type is an XML data output.
PROCEDURE xml_main (
errbuf OUT VARCHAR2
,retcode OUT VARCHAR2
,p_project_from IN VARCHAR2
,p_project_to IN VARCHAR2
AS
l_xml_type XMLTYPE;
BEGIN
SELECT DBMS_XMLGEN.getxmltype
('SELECT fnd_global.conc_request_id
,TO_CHAR (segment1)
,to_char(start_date,''MM/DD/RRRR'')
,to_char(xxmcc_project_details_pkg.current_profit_projection
(project_id),''999,999,990.90'')
,to_char(xxmcc_project_details_pkg.cost_to_date (project_id),''999,999,990.90'')
,''1''
FROM pa_projects_all
WHERE segment1 BETWEEN NVL (p_project_from, segment1)
AND NVL (p_project_to, segment1)')
INTO l_xml_type
FROM DUAL;
fnd_file.put_line (fnd_file.output, l_xml_type);
END xml_main;
Can anyone point me as to how to publish XML output using a PL/SQL procedure (DBMS_XMLGEN.getxmltype)
Thanks.

Pl see if the example included in this presentation helps http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/applications/Events/OOW-2006/EBS/S281401_Sridhar_Bogelli.pdf
Also, you do not need to explicitly call XDOREPPB in later versions of XML Publisher. If you set up everything correctly (as described in the presentation above and the link below) the Output Post Processor is called automatically after the XML file is generated successfully.
Another excellent tutorial is at http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/fusion_middleware/fusion/bi/xmlp_ebiz/index.html

end;
urgent help is needed
Thanks

No, It is a PO Print only. Only for changes to PO that do not affect the value of the PO,this error occurs. When i select the entry for the PO and click on Output message, the output message fails. On clicking Display Message, it shows the message - No schedules exist for the Scheduling Agreement XXXXXX(the PO number".
So,it is not for Scheduling Agreements but for PO only. I know it is weird to see such an error on the PO output message in ME9F.
Pls help.

Error while generating XML file through RDF

Hi,
I wanted to generate a Report on some business case. For that I need to generate XML file first.
For generating XML file
1. I have built an RDF through Reports builder.
2. Saved the report to local machine with extension .rdf
3. Moved it to appltop/app/reports/US directory
4. Registered tha Report with Executable of type Oracle Reports
5. Defined Concurrent Program with OUTPUT as XML.
When I submmitted the program, it was giving an error as follows.
The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.
A semi colon character was expected. Error processing resource 'https://oaphrd.humana.com/OA_CGI/FNDWRR.exe?temp_id=2088989...
+<?xml version="1.0" encoding="&Encoding"?>+
But, when I tried to sane the report directly to a file (file - > generate file -> XML) the XML was generated successfully.
How to get rid of this. Some one please help me out.
Thanks !

Hi,
I found the issue and corrected it. :)
This was happened only because of the Version problem of Report Builder with Oracle Applications.
Reports Builder 10g is not compatiblie with Oracle Applications 11.5.10.
Oracle 11.5+ will always expect the RDF from Reports 6i version. Because of this, the endocing was damaged.
You can observe in the earlier post as encoding="&Endoding". Here +&Encoding should be replaced by some encoding mechanism like "UTF-8".+
Finally corrected the version and got the Output as expected.

Error while generating XML file from rdf report.

Hi All,
we are having a rdf report that displays images retrieved from data base. I need to convert this report to xml report(using rtf template).
when i tried to run the report after changing the output of the concurrent program to "XML", i am getting the below error.
REP-1295: Data format of column 'PK1_VALUE' is unsupported.
REP-0069: Internal error
REP-57054: In-process job terminated:Terminated with error:
REP-1295: Data format of column 'PK1_VALUE' is unsupported.
images are stored in BLOB type columns.
Can anyone help me on this..
thanks

Hi Hussein,
Thank you for the reply.. i was sure that i will get correct response with in a day..
you people made this as one of the best technical forums..no doubt in that..
need some more help from you...!
The metalink docs say that it is not possible to generate xml file as the image is BLOB.
Can you please tell me any solution for developing xml template(rtf) which can display images that are stored in data base BLOB columns. Even PL/SQL script will do.. I have tried with changing the BLOB to CLOB in rdf query(by calling a function that converts BLOB to CLOB). it didnt help.
thanks in advance..

Permission Denied error generating XML file

We’re using ODI to write out files to a Windows CIFS file system through an agent installed on the ODI Unix server. In order to do this, we had to create the agent using a user ID that had permission to write to the Windows file system. For writing out flat files, this worked great; we have no problems at all.
However, for writing out XML files to the file system, we’re getting an error that says Permission Denied. We do NOT get the error if we write the XML to a Unix directory, only if we attempt to write it to the CIFS file system. I have two questions:
1. Is ODI able to execute against a Windows CIFS file system from UNIX to generate XML files?
2. If so, is there a list of permissions required on the fileshare that the ODI needs to generate the XML?
Below is the exact error we’re getting:
0 : null : java.sql.SQLException: Could not save the file /mdm_conversion/TST/2.lsm because a class java.io.IOException occurred and said: Permission denied
Has anyone ever performed something like this or encountered a similar problem?

Easiest and/or best methods for generating XML output (not with a report)

Hi, several of our EBS customers (11.5.10) are converting their PDF reports to use XML/BI publisher to produce output. The data stream comes from a report that generates the XML output, and then the XML template is applied. This works great ... no problems, etc. From what I have read, however, Oracle intends to treat the traditional Forms and Reports Developers as legacy tools (although still supporting them, of course).
My question is if I wanted to ditch using Reports to generate XML output, what, in your opinion or in your current usage, is the easiest way of getting this data? In Reports, the data modeler is excellent in providing a method to write your queries, split them into different repeating groups, write formula and summary columns, link multiple queries, etc, etc. If one were to become Reports Developer free, what comparable tools are available to take its place? I would expect this tool to handle a mix of GUI and coding like the Reports data modeler. Please note that I'm not looking for an EBS-specific solution -- say for a custom application using regular Oracle 10g DB and iAS, with BI Publisher for reporting.
Thanks for your feedback,
Ryan

What I'm looking for is to not use Oracle Reports to generate the XML data output since Oracle's statement of direction is pushing BI Publisher rather than Oracle Reports as the preferred tool for reporting. That said, the data modeler in Reports provides a very flexible tool to construct and link multiple queries and to manipulate the queries into several levels of a master/detail relationship. Further, the mix of GUI and coding makes setting up the data model a lot more efficient. What I'm looking for (and I don't know if anything exists) is something comparable that can be used to generate XML output from the DB -- the idea being that I wouldn't use legacy tools, like Reports, for this task. I hope that is clearer.
Really, another way of answering my question is, aside from Reports and the APIs mentioned so far, what are my fellow developers using, if anything, to extract XML data in a way that handles the features i list above?

Generate XML - Special Character in data causing error

Hello,
I have a procedure written using DBMS_XMLGEN to create xml output. A problem that I am running into is some of my data has an eacute in it. How can I code the XML to account for this and any other weird characters that may exist?
(ie - i need to be able to specify the encoding part of ?xml version=1.0 encoding=ISO-8859-1?)
Here is an excerpt of what i have so far...the results are fine until I run to include the data with the eacute. Then nothing is generated at all. I tried .convert, but I don't know if that's what I need, or if I am calling it correctly.
Thanks!

No. There are no XML components that will clean up malformed XML. Your options are to go to whoever sent you that document and tell them that their XML is malformed and that in future they should not do that, or to write your own component to clean up the malformed XML. Since that would involve more work than writing a full XML parser, I don't recommend the second option.

Can we generate the output of SQL Query in XML format ..

Hi Team,
Can we generate an XML doc for an SQL Query.
I've seen in SQL Server 2000.It is generating the output of an SQL Query in xml format.
select * from emp for xml auto
The output looks like
<emp EMPNO="7369" ENAME="SMITH" JOB="CLERK" MGR="7902" HIREDATE="1980-12-17T00:00:00" SAL="2800" DEPTNO="20"/><emp EMPNO="7370" ENAME="SMITH" JOB="CLERK" MGR="7902" HIREDATE="1980-12-17T00:00:00" SAL="2800" DEPTNO="10"/>

Just a little bit of short hand.
Get the XML out of your database, via HTTP
Of course the easiest method is just to return an XMLType from a stored procedure and let the calling routine figure out what to do with it. Instead
of that way though, I'll show you how to do it via HTTP. It's all completely built into 10g and is super easy to use.
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW emps_and_depts AS
SELECT e.employee_id AS "EmployeeId",
e.last_name AS "Name",
e.job_id AS "Job",
e.manager_id AS "Manager",
e.hire_date AS "HireDate",
e.salary AS "Salary",
e.commission_pct AS "Commission",
XMLFOREST (
d.department_id AS "DeptNo",
d.department_name AS "DeptName",
d.location_id AS "Location"
) AS "Dept"
FROM employees e, departments d
WHERE e.department_id = d.department_id
Some people hear web and immediately start salivating about security issues. Let me address that quickly. Just because you have the HTTP and/or
FTP servers running in the database, that does not mean you have a security problem. For one, I would hope your databases are behind a firewall.
Second, with the correct architecture (DMZ, app servers, etc) you can make this data available outside the firewall fairly transparently and third,
just because it's on the web does not mean the data MUST be available on the internet. This is a good way to make your data available on your
intranet. If you are worried about people INSIDE your firewall, that still doesn't preclude web based access. Follow Oracle security guidelines.
Before I show you how to get to your data, let's talk about URLs and URIs. A URL is a Uniform Resource Locater and URI is a Uniform Resource
Identifier. A URL is the way you would identify a document on the net, i.e. http://www.oracle.com is a URL. A URI is a more generic form of a URL.
Oracle supports three types of URI: HTTPURIType - basically a URL (which would be like the URL above), XDURIType - a pointer to an XDB resource
(usually an XML document but can be other objects), and DBURIType - a pointer to database objects.
It's the DBURIType that we're going to concentrate on here. The DBURIType let's us reference database objects using a file/folder paradigm. The
format for a DBURI is /oradb/<schema>/<table>. Oradb is shorthand for the database; it is not the database name or SID. My database is named XE
but I still use oradb in the DBURI. For example, the view we created above is in my XE database, is owned by HR (at least in my case) and is called
EMPS_AND_DEPTS. This can be referenced as /oradb/HR/EMPS_AND_DEPTS.
If the view had many rows and you wanted only one of them, you can restrict it by including a predicate. The documentation for XDB has a great
write up on Using DBURIs.In our case, we are going to write out the entire document. Now that you understand that the DBURI is a pointer to
objects in our instance, we can use that to access the data as a URL.
The format for the URL call is http://<machinename>:<port>/<DBURI>
In my case, my XE database is running on a machine called mach1 and is listening on port 8080. So to see the view we created above, I open my
browser and navigate to: http//mach1:8080/oradb/HR/EMPS_AND_DEPTS
The created URL will be as http//mach1:8080/oradb/PUBLIC/EMPS_AND_DEPTS
If your database is set up correctly and listening on port 8080 (the default), your browser should ask you to login. Login as the user who created the
view (in my case HR). You should now get an XML document displayed in your browser.
And that's it. It doesn't get much simpler than that. If you get rid of the descriptive text above, it basically comes down to:
Create a table or view
Open your web browser
Enter a URL
Enter a user ID and password
View your XML
If you notice, Oracle formatted the data as XML for us. Our view returns scalar columns and an XML fragment called Dept. Oracle formatted the
return results into an XML format.
And as a side note, if you look closely, you'll see that my URL has PUBLIC where I said to put HR. PUBLIC is a synonym for all objects that your
logged in user can see. That way, if your user has been granted select access on many schemas, you can use PUBLIC and see any of them.

XML Elements Ordering in Generated XML Output

I have a requirement where I need the xml element tags to appear in the generated xml output in the same order as in data template definition but in my case this is not happening. I have one master group - Customer and two subgroups - BillingAddress and ShipToAddress. The subgroups appear below some master elements eg. Contact but above other master elements eg. Telephone . However when the xml output is finally generated all the Master Elements appear first followed by the subgroup elements. Does anyone know how I can rectify this?
See below:
my data template structure is as follows:
- <group name="Customer" dataType="varchar2" source="Q_MASTER_FILE_CUST">
<element name="CustomerID" datatype="varchar2" value="CUSTOMER_NUM" />
<element name="CustomerTaxID" datatype="varchar2" value="TAXPAYER_ID" />
<element name="CompanyName" datatype="varchar2" value="COMPANY_NAME1" />
<element name="Contact" datatype="varchar2" value="CONTACT_NAME" />
- <group name="BillingAddress" dataType="varchar2" source="Q_MF_CUST_BILLTO">
<element name="BuildingNumber" datatype="varchar2" value="BUILD_NUM1" />
<element name="StreetName" datatype="varchar2" value="STREET_NAME1" />
<element name="AddressDetail" datatype="varchar2" value="ADDRESS_STYLE1" />
<element name="City" datatype="varchar2" value="CITY1" />
<element name="PostalCode" datatype="varchar2" value="POSTAL_CODE1" />
<element name="Region" datatype="varchar2" value="COUNTY1" />
<element name="Country" datatype="varchar2" value="COUNTRY1" />
</group>

<element name="City" datatype="varchar2" value="CITY2" />
<element name="PostalCode" datatype="varchar2" value="POSTAL_CODE2" />
<element name="Region" datatype="varchar2" value="COUNTY2" />
<element name="Country" datatype="varchar2" value="COUNTRY2" />
</group>
<element name="Telephone" datatype="varchar2" value="PHONE_NUMBER" />
<element name="Fax" datatype="varchar2" value="FAX1" />
<element name="Email" datatype="varchar2" value="EMAIL_ADDRESS" />
<element name="WebSite" datatype="varchar2" value="URL" />
</group>
</group>
My XML Output is as follows:
<Customer>
<CustomerID>1000</CustomerID>

is anyone able to advise?

If you know the changes necessary then you could write an XSL transformation to do them. But a generalized piece of code that examined an XML document and a schema, then produced a corrected document, would be quite difficult to write.

How to Generate XML Output file

Hi,
I want to print sample output XML file.
I got this link 362496.1
An output file can be generated via the Preview functionality available under the XML Publisher Administrator responsibility. Navigation path :
1. Login to the application as SYSADMIN
2. Responsibility: XML Publisher Administrator
3. Function: Templates
4. Select a Template for which a Preview Data file has been uploaded in the past.
5. Click on the Preview icon
6. Save the PDF to the client PC
7. Determine the version either by the above instructions OR by provide the PDF file to Global Customer Support.But in #4 I can not populate any values to search, even if I put all %.
How can I get a valid search?
Thanks a lot,
Ms K

Hi;
AFAIK if you prepare template in XML publisher than you can take output as pdf, by the way you can take xml output too
Please check user guide:
