How to print Barcode data in Oracle XML Publisher Report

Hi,
We have an rdf report which prints Bar code in the starting page based on a custom procedure from MarkView. It works well with Oracle Reports.
But since the current report was a matrix report, we are changing it to a Linear report through Oracle XML Publisher Report.
We have all the things possible in the new Oracle XML Report.. But we are unable to print the Bar code data which is BLOB in the XML Report..
Can anyone help me on this? We have UAT dates around the corner..
We have an RTF Template .
Help asap.
Thanks
Abhilash

Problem with data size in XML Publisher report

Hi Experts,
I am working on EBS11i and database 9i. I working on XML Publisher reports, i have one XML Publisher report with generating output in EXCEL format. If i submit the report, if the data is huge (like 2.3 million records), it's ending up with warning, but if data is less, it's completing normal. Could somebody help me why it's behaving like this, is it because the report is XML Report, the xml file it's generating not have enough memory in server side if the data is huge.
Could somebody help me how to solve this issue.
Note: I need output in EXCEL format only.

Pl identify the version of XMLP you are using.
Pl post the complete warning message from the concurrent log file. Are there any additional error messages in the Output Post Processor log file ? Have you specified enough temp space using the XML Publisher Administrator responsibility ?

How to go one level up in xml publisher reports

Hi Experts,
I am working in XML Publisher reports; I am working Invoice report (standard report), below is my requirement.
Template sample:
<?for-each:G_INVOICE?>
<?trx_number?> <?trx_type?>
<?for-each:G_LINES?>
<?LINE_NUMBER?> <?COMMODITY_CODE?> <?QUANTITY?>
<?end for-each:G_LINES?>
<?end for-each:G_INVOICE?>
Requiremet: If 'trx_type' is INV i want to print commodity_code as COMMODITY_CODE else null.
I tried like this. It's didn't work out.
<?for-each:G_INVOICE?>
<?trx_number?> <?trx_type?>
<?for-each:G_LINES?>
<?LINE_NUMBER?> *<?xdofx:if TRX_TYPE='INV' then COMMODITY_CODE else CF_BID_ITEM end if?>* <?QUANTITY?>
<?end for-each:G_LINES?>
<?end for-each:G_INVOICE?>
Here, actually trx_type is in upper loop, it's not checking the TRX_TYPE='INV' condition, it's always going to else part. So I tried like below to go one level up.
*<?xdofx:if ../TRX_TYPE='INV' then COMMODITY_CODE else CF_BID_ITEM end if?>*
Still this is also not working. Is there any solutions, where we can use the upper level group field in line level to check the if condition.
Any suggetion is appreciated.
Kindly help.
Thanks in advance.

To go one level up from current,
you have to use ../ELEMENT_NAME Since you are trying to access a field in G_LINES context.
you have to open the xml and see, how may levels are there from G_LINES to G_INVOICE
if its 2 level up, then use ../../ELEMENT_NAME and likewise.

How to create editable PDF template for XML Publisher reports

Hi,
I have got a requirement to have some editable fields in one report whose output is in PDF format.
I tried looking and saw this can be done using the XML Publisher report and using PDF template.
But I got only Adobe Acrobat Reader and it does not have the facility to create Form fields.. Can you let me know what software I need in order to create the editable PDF Template.
In the user guide, it didnot mention anything regarding this.
Can I create editable PDF report using RTF template or do i have to got for PDF template only?
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks

Hi,
To edit PDF template , u need Acrobat writer, which is not free .
I am still wondering what is this ?
"" Can I create editable PDF report using RTF template ?? "".
What is editable PDF report. ?
i think what you tried to mention is ,
can the PDF output from xml publisher is editable ?
If that is the question , so here is some points,
If you have Acrobat Writer or prof.edition, you can edit all the PDF documents irrespective of being from where it is generated.
To make you understand more of XMLP.
You create RTF template in word, so that , after merging with xml you can have multiple output formats like PDF, XLS, EFT,.....

How to do this , any help on this ?

Hi,
I would propose reviewing the eText documentation. I noticed that for RTF templates it's difficult explicitly set the length though within an eText template, you can specify the intended length.
The Oracle post is, in my opinion, convoluted, though it's a point in the right direction

Printing issue with pdftops for XML publisher reports.

Hi All,
We have recently upgraded from 11.5.10 to R12.1.3.
We are facing a strange issue for some of the seeded reports that were converted to type XML after R12 upgrade.
First, the reports were printed with junk / xml character while submitting the requests from application (e.g. Account Analysis Report)
We made the following changes.
- Added PDF Publisher style with required flag set to yes to the Account Analysis Report.
- Set proifle option "FND: Default Template Output Type" to PDF (it was blank)
- The pasta_pdf.cfg is configured to use pdftops for conversion
- Restarted the manager.
After this, the above report is priting fine and pdftops is converting it to correct format before printing.
But one of the printer that Oracle EBS is configured is getting stuck specifically for this postscript based request. The same report prints well on another printer.
The 'lpstat -t' shows the following status for the failing printer.
=============
printer PRT1 is idle. enabled since Tue 23 Jul 2013 03:24:40 PM EDT
/usr/lib/cups/filter/pstoraster failed
=============
The printer queue logs on the application servers shows the following details for the failing printer.
=========================================

==========
The printer that works fine on the same application server has the following message.
==========

I [22/Jul/2013:15:16:44 -0400] [Job 139] Completed successfully.
==============
It only goes through 2 filters and prints just fine
The system admin team has tried to re-install the printer driver but no luck.
Any idea what could be the cause and how can fix it?
Any pointers will be highly appreciated.
Thanks
Sunil Bhavsar

Thanks Hussein.
I will check the 2 options you recommended. At the same, I would like to test the direct print from the OS using pdftops utility. But not sure how can I do that?
The concurrent request creates the .tmp file under APPLTMP and pass that as the parameter while printing such requests. But if we need to test the .PDF output using pdftops directly, what should be the syntax? Or I would say, what should be the input file and output file?
e.g.
pdftops {infile} {outfile}
I have got the .PDF output under $APPLCSF/$APPLOUT. But from one of the failed request logs, I see the system passes both as .tmp. If we need to test this directly, is there any way?
In the meantime, I will check the debug logs option and update if it provides any additional information.

Sunil

Sorting Problem in XML Publisher Report

Dear Members,
I am facing problems with sorting data in my XML Publisher Report.
We are using Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1 Version and i developed a rtf Template and executable is an RDF which generates XML Data.
I want the whole report to group by element ITEM_NAME which is a character in the ascending order. I tried several ways but it is not working properly.
I don't know how to upload the RTF template in this forum. I tried to post the XML Code and since its excceds 30000 characters i cant post it in the forum.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Sandeep

You can't upload the template here; you can post a part of the relevant XML code and template code here.
or send me a sample XML and RTF template to [email protected] and I will take a look.

How to print output of XML Publisher report in different trays of a printer

Hi All,
I have a requirement in XML Publisher Report. I need to print all pages other than last one in one tray of a printer and the last page has to be printed in another tray of the same printer.
Can anyone help me out...
Thank You..

I do not think it is possible to send all the pages to one tray and send only the last page to a different tray. However, you may review the following notes:

then you need your own printprogram and everything is fine. with open_form ; start_form ; write_form; end_form
you can communicate direct with the Datamax Programming Language from SAPScript to the Barcode printer.
i also have the datamax programmers manual as pdf if you want i could send it to you. let me know by PM.
also have look into HW 490295 the bartender Solution works fine for me to create the SO10 text's
