How to use XML Publisher

Hi,
anyone knows how to use XMLP 5.5 from Oracle Forms?
please help and share your knowledges
regards
igor

Hi,
I checked with one of the Oracle Sales Consultants working with Forms and XML Publisher and he says that you can either use web.show_document() or the Java Importer to generate Reports with XML Pulisher. Note that XML Publisher does not yet support SSO authentication ,which means that there is no implicit authentication possible when running it.

  • 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,

    // 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

  • How to do subtemplate Using XML Publisher Template Builder for Word 5.6.2

    Is it possible to do subtemplate (similar to subreport in crystal report) using XML Publisher Template Builder for Word 5.6.2?. If yes, can anyone explain how to call or import subtemplate from main template?
    Thank you
    V.Piraba

    Hi V. Piraba,
    Here is how it works for me in Microsoft Word 2003. I'm not sure if it will work in Word 5.6.2.
    Creating Subtemplates
    1) Make sure you fill in the “Territory” field when creating Subtemplates. Otherwise there will be no way to import the Subtemplate into another Template. The Import command requires the Territory field to call it from other Templates. You will get a big Java error if you try to import a Subtemplate that does not have the Terriroty field populated.
    Importing Subtemplates
    1) Place the following syntax at the beginning of your XML Publisher template to import a subtemplate (in Oracle Applications)
    <?import:xdo://XDO.[Template Code Name].English.US?>
    Example: <?import:xdo://XDO.WC_SUBTEMPLATE_LOGOS.English.US?>
    2) Use the following commands to importing Subtemplates from local/network drives (outside of Oracle Applications):
    <?import:file:C:/Temp/WC Subtemplate - Logos.rtf?>
    <?import:file:L://Templates/WC Subtemplate - Logos.rtf?>
    <?import: file:///C:WorkChemical.xsl?>
    You can email me at [email protected] if you have further questions.
    Hope this helps!

  • 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

  • How to inclulde digital signature in PDF outputs using XML Publisher

    I'm working on AR invoice print report which is a custom report. One of the requirements of this report is to include the digital signature in the output which is in PDF format.
    We have below code components for this custom report.
    Oracle Report (RDF) - to extract the invoice data
    RTF template - for report layout
    Bursting file - to split the output into individual PDFs
    Is there any document available to implement the digital signaure in my case?
    I'm looking for the steps to implement this in my custom report using XML Publisher.

    Take a look at the report designer's guide; section "Adding or Designating a Field for a Digital Signature" here:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12844_01/doc/bip.1013/e12187.pdf
    Thanks,
    Bipuser
    If I am not mistaken, this would require using PDF templates and use of Adobe Acrobat Professional.. Maybe others can chime in with other/better options..

    The problem is not with the template.
    It seems to be a problem in that particular instance.
    Uploaded it in a different instance.
    However once i run the program, i cannot view the output as the browser window flashes and disappears.
    My colleague says , it is to do with the trusted site to download something from the browser.

  • Creating a text output using XML Publisher

    Hi All,
    Recently i created a  report for my client using XMl Publisher. The Data Definition was XML and the template type was RTF and i got the output in a PDF format. All was going smoothly until the client decided at the last moment that they wanted to print this in a dot matrix printer!
    I've read some articles on XSL- Text layout templates. But i can't get my head around it (I'm Functio-Technical as opposed to Techno-Functional )
    How do i convert my RTF template to give me a text output?
    Miranga

    From what I know, you will have to create another template based on "XSL" layout or eText layout (both of them require different coding methods). The RTF can not create text outputs even in 11g. This is based on my experience so far. You can create RTF output (available by default) based on the current layout that you use for PDF and see if it can be printed in a dot matrix printer though.

  • Report VS Excel output using XML Publisher tool (DBMS_XMLGEN)

    Hi All,
    Currently I am working on report generation in MRP module with Excel output using XML Publisher tool.
    XML tool works based on query.
    I have developed PLSQL block by using DBMS_XMLGEN – database package, to generate XML output of query.
    My question is how we can put generated xml on above PLSQL block into OUT file (APPS).
    Because DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE( ) has limitation, it allow 255 character string only.
    But I do not know, Is FND_FILE.PUT_LINE (FND_FILE.OUTPUT,’’) allow for large data?
    If it does not allow what will be the other solution in oracle application to resolve above problem.
    Let me know any queries regarding to this problem.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Sai Krishna @cavaya.com

    Hi Prakash,
    Thanks for the reply. We did apply the one-off patch and got rid of the problem of not viewing 'Excel' output using XMLP.
    Now we are looking at a different perspective:
    Basically our client is looking for the following:
    1. Mathematical functions in the resulting XLS (like SUM, AVG etc..) ouput
    2. Use of macros if possible.
    And to do this i am looking out for a sample template that gives me output in excel format I have a TAR with Oracle for this purpose, but the TAR has so far been unsuccessful in providing us with any material in the direction.
    Our client remembers seeing this as a demo at the Oracle Conference this yr at San Fransisco, but does not have a sample to provide us. We are looking for such a sample.
    Thx,

  • Excel Output for Standard Reports using XML Publisher

    Hi All,
    Customer wants to get Excel Output for the existing Standard/Custom Reports using XML Publisher. I followed the following procedure.
    1. Changed the output to XML for Concurrent program ( Trial Balance - Detail )
    2. Used the Existing seeded Template
    3. Ran the Report using EXCEL as the output.
    When I clicked on View Output, I am not able to see the Excel output. I am seeing the HTML tags in the output window. Verified that Viewer Options existed for Excel as follows:
    File Format=Excel, Mime Type=application/vnd.ms-excel.
    When I ran the report with PDF output. I can see the PDF output.
    Ran the HTML output with new Viewer Option ( File Format=HTML, Mime Type=application/vnd.ms-excel) then I can see the output in Browser in the Excel format. I did this test after going through the Metalink Note: Note:316752.1
    My question is.. Do I need always choose the HTML ouput in the options window to trigger the Viewer option for HTML. Customer may not like this idea. He would like to choose the Excel Output and see the output in Excel format either in the Browser or Microsoft Excel.
    Can someone in this situation before help me out.
    Thanks,
    V

    Questions rephrase:
    1. Is the output is same for HTML and Excel options ?
    2. Why the output is viewable with HTML option and not with Excel option ?
    Customer has XML Publisher Version 5.0.1 and in the process of applying 5.6.1
    Thanks,

  • Not getting Euro Symbol in PDF Report using XML Publisher

    Hi,
    We have developed an Oracle Report from Report Builder 6i and also a Template in RTF Format.
    We are using XML Publisher to display our XML Output in PDF Format to Users..
    There is a Field called Comments on Customer Transaction Form, where user can enter any characters and that we are querying in Report and displaying on the PDF Output.
    Currently, the user entered a Euro Character on the comments section and that was not visible to user on PDF Report and replaced by a Question Mark as below:
    "3% price reduction ?89.91, 20% marine"
    When i am Querying to the Database, i am able to see the Euro Symbol, but when i checked the XML generated on the Unix Box for the Report. I found as below:

    one way
    value set based on view (view - select level id, chr(level) cl connect by level <= 500)
    for example, chr(64) - @
    so in xml you have code of @. sample xml is
    <ROWSET>
      <ROW>64</ROW>
    </ROWSET>in rtf template pick
    <?xdofx:chr(to_number(ROW))?>
    select chr(14844588)  from dual

  • Printing Arabic text in Oracle Application(R12i) using XML Publisher.

    Hi,
    I am using Oracle Application R12i version with Oracle database as 10g, base language as English and installed language as Arabic.
    I am trying to print the data which is there in English/Arabic in Oracle Application(using XML Publisher).
    I've created a rdf using Report Builder 10g and registered as concurrent program (XML as Output format). There after i executed the concurrent program and generated the XML file.
    Based on the XML file, i created a rtf file using XML Desktop(in Ms word) and register the same rtf file in XML Publisher Administrator for creating the XML definition and Template and Output as PDF.
    After creating a XML template, when i executed the Concurrent program, english text is shown in english but arabic text is shown some ascii characters like Question Mark(up side down).

  • Unable to view image if the size is more than 3KB using XML Publisher.

    Hello,
    We are printing PO approver signature using xml publisher (rtf) on a pdf.
    If the size of the image is 3KB or less, the image gets printed.
    But, if the size is more than 3KB the image does not get printed.
    Additional Info:
    1. The signature is stored as jpg image in fnd_lobs table.
    2. On following code is mentioned in the rtf
    <fo:instream-foreign-object content-type="image/jpg">
    <xsl:value-of select="IMG_SIGNATURE"/>
    </fo:instream-foreign-object>
    3. We are using the following function that converts BLOB to CLOB.
    CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION XX_BLOBTOBASE64
    b IN BLOB
    RETURN CLOB
    IS
    sizeb PLS_INTEGER := 4080 ;
    buffer RAW(4080);
    offset PLS_INTEGER DEFAULT 1;
    RESULT CLOB;
    BEGIN
    -- dbms_lob.createtemporary
    -- lob_loc => RESULT
    -- , cache => FALSE
    -- , dur => dbms_lob.CALL
    -- LOOP
    -- BEGIN
    -- dbms_lob.READ
    -- ( lob_loc => b
    -- , amount => sizeb
    -- , offset => offset
    -- , buffer => buffer
    -- EXCEPTION
    -- WHEN no_data_found
    -- THEN
    -- EXIT;
    -- END;
    -- offset := offset + sizeb;
    -- dbms_lob.append
    -- ( dest_lob => RESULT
    -- , src_lob => to_clob(utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2(utl_encode.base64_encode(buffer)))
    -- END LOOP;
    DBMS_LOB.createtemporary(lob_loc => RESULT, CACHE => FALSE, dur => 0);
    Wf_Mail_Util.EncodeBLOB ( b, RESULT );
    RETURN RESULT;
    END;
    Requesting any of you to let us know if there is any method to resolve this issue.
    Thanks,
    Angelica.

    Hi,
    Are you using Outlook.com to send/receive emails? Based on my research, we can only add an image/ picture in your e-mail signature that’s Web based (picture that is available in existing websites or stored in an online storage). See:

    Since this forum is for general questions and feedback related to Outlook desktop application, if you are using Outlook.com, I'd recommend you post your question in the Outlook.com forum:
