XML Publisher Desktop Db connect SQL Server Host:Port:Sid

Brand new to XML Publisher. Set up XML Publisher Enterprise environment to work with SQL Server 2005 using both MS 2000 & 2005 JDBC drivers, so far no problem.
However the XML Publisher Desktop Report Wizard will not connect to SQL Server 2005 using either MS 2000 & 2005 JDBC drivers. I provide the same data source name, user and pw that I use in the XML Publisher Enterprise environment but it is the 4th piece of information - the database portion (Host:Port:Sid) that I am having trouble with. SID is an Oracle invention not used in the SQL Server world. I have tried various combinations of the database string without sucess.
Perhaps the XML Publisher Desktop does not work with SQL Server. Does anyone know how to use XML Publisher Desktop to create templates that will work with MS SQL Server?
Thank you.
BG...

Shaun,
Thanks for you comments. I belive I now have enough to use the HSGC-ODBC technique to make the template and then re-edit it to make it work with the original JDBC connection.
That said, "Using ODBC-JDBC bridge connection is really poor in performance." I, more than anyone on the planet am aware of this issue and more.
Being new to XMLPublisher I thought that having a JDBC connection to a SQL Server from XMLP Enterprise led me to beleive that the XMLP Desktop template creation tool would also work. "*** Pity the fool ***" for thinking that! (Thank-you Mr. T!!! <grin>).
Because I had to engage a 'heterogeneous connectivity" solution to this problem indicates that the product is half-baked. That's not to say that it is not capable.
Rushing software products to market quickly creates products that make the rest of us jump through hoops. I resent that!!! I have more import things to do than waste time!
I demand more of a trusted vendor, do you? I have tortured myself with Oracle products thinking they were ready since the early nineties.
Look we are in a "heterogeneous universe" and if the product pretends to work with "heterogeneous databases" on the Enterprise side than it damn well aught to work with them on the Desktop side. That's my opinion.
Attention OTN: I am back!!!
Justin, this needs to be fixed.
Thanks!

How to filter cancelled PO lines using XML publisher desktop

Hello,
I've created a new PO template for printing using XML Publisher Desktop for Word. Output format is in RTF. All data required was printed except when the user canceled a particular PO line, that line will also be printed out with quantity and total amount 0. How can I filter PO lines with "canceled" flag not be printed out? Is it possible to insert conditional statement within the table template? How to do that?
Thanks in advance

if you want only test it by XML publisher desktop
then you can use if statement
for example in field
<?if:TAG1='test?>then
<?TAG2?>then
<?end if?>for row between (for example)
<?for-each:G_GROUPNAME?>and
<?end for-each?>BTW use this method is not correct in my opinion
if you use "canceled" flag as parameter in concurrent program
then you may get xml for RTF template only with needed data

XML Publisher Desktop 5.6.2 Installation Error

I down loaded the desktop version. when I install it, it pops up a dialog
"Word application is running. please close word application and retry installation"
then, it stops installation.
But I did not have word application open, only installation is running.
Is this a bug, or I am missing some thing?
Gary

Hello, I have a similar problem
I tried to install versions 5.5 and 5.6.2 of XML Publisher Desktop and I consistenly get an "unexpected error during configuration" at the end of the installation. The word process wasn't running while I was running the setup (and outlook neither).
This is the setup log, containing all the times I've tried to install it:

XML Publisher Desktop

How can I download and install the XML Publisher Desktop that I need for the WORD and Excel add-ins?
Edited by: laskowsj on Mar 17, 2011 12:20 PM

If you are Oracle user then I would highly recommend you that you get this
file from oracle support as it is the official source of information.
I can see there is a patch 5887917 which gives you BIP Desktop 10.1.3.2 which is compatible
with XMLP 5.6.3 plus additional functionality which are only applicable to the stand alone version
of BI Publisher and are not intended for use with Ebusiness Suite.
Good luck
Jorge

My issue was resolved after I discovered that my RTF template was not really RTF. It was sill in MS Word DOC format. This was discovered by reviewing two templates in NOTEPAD. The MS-DOC files have a lot of "special" characters in them. My RTF was not really RTF.
After doing a SAVE AS - RTF format, then the preview worked as expected.

Error "Run-Time Error '76' PAth Not Found" in XML Publisher Desktop

Hi All,
we are trying to preview the PDF output in the XML Publisher Desktop Application.
We are able to LOAD the data successfully.
But whenever we try to preview the output, we are getting an error saying "Run-Time Error '76' Path Not Found".
We are using the XMLP Desktop application on the Client Machine.(Citrix)
Can anybody help us in this regard?
Thanks,
Sachin.

How to trigger xml publisher API (ex:Delivering Documents via e-Mail)?

Dear All:
How to use xml publisher API ?
In user's guide always talk API's code.(ex:Delivering Documents via e-Mail
// create delivery manager instance
DeliveryManager dm = new DeliveryManager();
// create a delivery request
DeliveryRequest req =
dm.createRequest(DeliveryManager.TYPE_SMTP_EMAIL);
// set email subject
req.addProperty(DeliveryPropertyDefinitions.SMTP_SUBJECT, "Invoice");
// set SMTP server host
req.addProperty(
DeliveryPropertyDefinitions.SMTP_HOST, "mysmtphost");
// set the sender email address
req.addProperty(DeliveryPropertyDefinitions.SMTP_FROM,
"[email protected]");
// set the destination email address
req.addProperty(
DeliveryPropertyDefinitions.SMTP_TO_RECIPIENTS,
"[email protected], [email protected]" );
// set the content type of the email body
req.addProperty(DeliveryPropertyDefinitions.SMTP_CONTENT_TYPE,
"text/html");
// set the document file name appeared in the email
req.addProperty(DeliveryPropertyDefinitions.SMTP_CONTENT_FILENAME,
"body.html");
// set the document to deliver
req.setDocument("/document/invoice.html");
// submit the request
req.submit();
// close the request
req.close(); )
Not say how to use this code to account effect !!
Having anybody to use API before?
Please tell me how to use that,thanks!!

This is the class for a JCP I created to perform the following:
1) Launch an existing Concurrent Program that produces PDF output
2) Grab the PDF and apply a watermark based on user input or conditions
3) associate the modified PDF to CP output for PASTA printing
It isn't elegant but it is fairly simple. I added the email capability and tested it but am not implementing it at the present time.
there is a fair amount of information out there that explains how to create a JCP councurrent program but very little that demonstrates the class needed.
I hope this helps

Some RTF commands not working in Oracle XML Publisher Desktop 5.6.3

Hello,
I am using Oracle XML Publisher Desktop 5.6.3 (Patch 5887917) and seems like some of the RTF command are not working. I am following Tim Dexter's blog (http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/2007/10/here_are_my_terms_conditions.html ) and could not make the "new" commands from his blog, work in my template.
<?section:force-page-count;'end-on-even-layout'?> -- even with this on the template, I'm still getting output with odd total numpages
<?section:xdofo:blank-on;'even-skip-page-count'?> -- cannot suppress the NUMPAGES value of MS Word
Do I need to apply additional patch(es) on top of Patch 5887917 for the MS Word add-on? Could you please tell me what am I missing?
Thanks.

Anybody who has used the commands (page suppression) provided by Tim in his blog? May I know from what version you have done it? The blog was posted back in 2007.
Thanks!

XML Publisher Desktop and Vista

Hi,
Has anyone been successful in installing XML Publisher under Windows Vista ?
I've tried and get an error.
Just curious is anyone else has been successful.
Thanks.

I guess the lack of response is answer enough then :)
So, no one has successfully managed to intall XML Publisher Desktop under Windows Vista ?

XML Publisher Desktop and Enterprise...?

Hello,
Apologies if I missed some obvious documentation or whatever... But..
I don't really understand how XML Publisher Enterprise and XML Publisher Desktop fit together.
Does Desktop require Enterprise? Are they more complimentary, or is Desktop more of a "Lite" version of Enterprise? - Can I run either one or both as needed or desired...?
Any info, thoughts, suggestions... Pointers to relevant docs... Or anything along that line would be very much appreciated.
Thanks!
Cheers
(Cute... The spell checker doesn't have XML in it's dictionary!) ;)

XMLP Enterprise is for running and distributing reports. It handles extracting data and then applying templates to your data to give it the correct look and feel.
XMLP Desktop is used to design your templates. So, for a given report, use the Desktop version to design your template and then upload it to XMLP Enterprise.
I would recommend reading this article: http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/rittman-xmlpub.html?rssid=rss_otn_articles
