You should put this issue on the XML Pub forum.
I remember some specific setting required for linking images off the instance top. Check the XML Pub dev guide.

Problem with images in XML with excel output

Hello:
I made an XML concurrent program, with excel output, but i am having a problem:
The rtf template has a logo (bmp image), but it is not showing in the excel (if i execute the concurrent in the oracle applications). However, if i create the xml in Oracle Reports in my computer, and then load that xml in the rdf template in word, i can see the logo in the excel preview. I don't know why is it not showing when i execute the program in applications.
If someone can help me with this, i will be very grateful.
Greetings

xml cP, will not give you a image in excel output,..
In RDF there is a placeholder for image, and the image is located in certain location, at runtime it picks and render the output with logo.
but xml CP, will get the data in xml type and merge with rtf to get the output you wanted..
if you have the rtf with logo embedded in it, if output is of pdf or rtf output , then it will display the logo ,.
in excel currently it is not possible to show the logo,..
excel you see could be xml-excel or csv-excel not the true binary excel.
to get the logo embedded ,for that you have to wait on tim for the excel template, which will be release in near future i guess..

EXCEL output logo issues in XML Publisher

Hi,
We are using XML Publisher API to generate PDF,EXCEL outputs using Template. While adding image to the template its showing in the pdf output. But not showing in the Excel output. Then i added url:{/Image} in the alt text of the image in template and submitted the report again now able to see the image in excel output. Can you please tell me why its not showing the image in excel by default which is right happening in case of PDF. Iam getting the same issue for HTML outputs generation also. Please tell me what i can do to get the image by default same as the way i am getting in PDF.
Thanks

Hi Alex,
Thanks for your suggession.
I have two OAF versions and i found the xml publisher version from the below java file
$OA_JAVA/oracle/apps/xdo/common/MetaInfo.class
in both 11.5.10 and 12.1.1 OAF versions i am seeing the below line of code
public static final String VERSION = "Oracle XML Publisher 5.6.3";
when i login to the application and went to the About this page option available there
in 11.5.10 i got to see that the version
is XML Oracle XDK Java 9.0.4.0.0 Production
in 12.1.1 version
XML Oracle XML Developers Kit 10.1.3.130 - Production
But as per your seggession from the MOS document 736897.1, i came to know that it is an issue in 5.6.3
Can you please tell me how to find out my xml publisher version in different EBS versions.
I am using Office 2007.
Finally,
in the document i can see that
Applies to:
*BI Publisher (formerly XML Publisher) - Version 11.5 to 12.1 [Release 11.5 to 12.1]*
Information in this document applies to any platform.
Means this issue is not fixed even in 12.1.3.
To resolve this issue,do we need to do the manual image setup like the way menioned in the document 736897.1?
Thanks

Hello Tim,
First time posting a message in this forum. We have a report that we export to Excel for users to analyse it futher. Report consists of all percentages with % sign at the end of each value in the cells. Negetive numbers are highlighted in red enclosed in brackets with % sign at the end. All numbers are rounded to one decimal in the source query, so the XML data has values rounded to one decimal. When we export the report to Excel, all positive numbers are rounding to 2 decimal points and negetive numbers to one decimal point. When exported to PDF, all values are rounded to one decimal. Is there a way to fix this in Excel output?
Thanks in advance.

XML Publisher report not printing excel output due to special characters

Hello,
I am trying to create a xml publisher report which should display the output in excel. But the program completes with a warning status and the output is displayed as XML instead of excel, with some errors "An invalid character was found in text content. Error processing resource " and i think these errors are due to the special characters(eg: city/province - A Coruña, Cáceres). If i give rownum < 10 in my query, where there are no such characters it works fine and i am getting an excel output.
Tried changing the XML encoding and it doesn't help (both mentioned below)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
Do anyone have a solution for this
Thanks in advance

Problems in generating excel output

Hi all,
I'm facing a problem submitting a report with XML output (XML Publisher 5.0.1). I created a RTF template in order to generate an excel output but when I launch the concurrent, its status after few minutes becomes "Warning" logging java.lang.OutOfMemoryError. The strangest thing is that the PDF output generates normally without errors or warnings.
I've found on metalink a note in which they suggest to create a configuration file (xdo.cfg) where i've declared a temporary folder in order to split the XML in two parts to allow the XDO to create correctly my excel output....but it didnt work! :(
After that I added to my concurrent execution options the string "-Xmx512m" to increase the memory for that particular task (even if i think that 128 mb for a XML file of 5 MB are more than necessary)... but no results (in this case i've had another error "java.io.FileNotFoundException: /opt/app/oracle//admin/out//o2260792.out (No such file or directory)" ).
Can someone help me??
Is it a normal behaviour?? It seems to be a joke, cause in metalink they suggest everybody to apply patches and patches!!
Thx all

Hi Nisha,
Refer to that link.....May be it will helpful for you....
Are You All Able to get the Output In EXCEL Format
Otherwise you can do one thing......Add one more Viewer option for XML type data... Most probably earlier For viewing the XML data you are using Browser... So by default whenever you are trying to see the output it is opening it in Browser....
Now add one more Viewer option For XML as Microsoft Excel......
So After making two viewer option for XML data whenever you will try to see the output of XML data it will ask you...Viewing option...1.Browser 2. Excel
Choose Excel here it will not give you any error and you will be able to open the output in Excel format.....

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 the xml publisher report when it is [b]scheduled [/b]

How to get the excel output for the xml publisher report when it is scheduled by a apps user? Like what is the user profile option (for the apps user who runs the report) and what are the other things that needs to be taken care of so that only this xml publisher report run by this apps user produces a EXCEL output (When scheduled) ???
Really appreciate it if any one can help me in this regards.
Thanks
Munna

Hi Munna,
For eBusiness Suite (apps user) the report output is stored the same way whether executed immediately or scheduled.,To get excel set the options > output format to Excel. Only the user that submitted the report can view it, or you can get the output file from the server. Or you can set the notify option so that a Workflow Notification is sent when the request completes.

Hi Rohit ,
I had copied these .class & .xml files under Myclasses -> oracle.apps.icx and oracle.apps.po and oracle.apps.fnd was same which comes part of the standard OA tutorial.
I copied same under Myprojects as well.
you have to decompile the class file into java file and then place it in Myproject directory , also copy all dependency files like BC4J components , and then
try to run from Jdeveloper .
Alternatively you can get the entire ICX folder and zip it and add it via library .
