How to generate PDF from XML output without XML publisher

Hi,
I am facing a problem while splitting the rdf generated XML output.
Problem Description:
I have a oracle invoice report which runs once every day (scheduled program). This report fetches me the invoices generated on that day and needs to be Mailed / Faxed to the customers.
So i developed the report in such a way that it generates the output order by customers...since the output generated will be as one .out file in APPLCSF/out directory...the .out file needs to be splitted by customers, for which i have written a cursor which takes the data of the main query and submits that many requests as many as customers are there.....There is a possibility of having 1000 customers per day also. If that is the case then my main program will fire that many requests.
Is there a different approach......any inputs are highly appreciated.
Also, i am generating the output in XML format. Is there a way from which i can directly generate a PDF from that XML output rather using any other tool.
Thanks & Regards,
Lakshmi Kalyan Vara Prasad.

Hi,
with Reports Bursting and the defined "distributions" it's possible to have one report splittet to several parts with different receipients. Have a look at http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14504_01/dl/bi/B13673_01/pbr_dist.htm.
With xsl-fo it's possible to create pdf out of xml ... that's what xml publisher is doing.

Incorrect XML output data in Report 6i, other formats are ok

Hi,
A very strange problem when running 6i report (database is 10g). Everything is fine when running the report, when I tried to use Generate to file from the File menu to different file formats, pdf, html and rtf formats are all good, but xml format gave some extra data, it seems it lost some conditions in where clause.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance.
Andrew

I still doubt it..
What ever character you have it in database, is going to be fetched in xml..
be in Report builder, or sql, pl/sql.
the way the data is being converted is the first we need to see.. if the character is getting messed here..
once you got it as xml, and open xml in browser, then the parser finds the encoding in the top of xml, and renders the character . if it cannot understand the encoding character, then it will skip or do some abnormal things..
oracle apps , is generating xml ?? what is that means ??
data-template ? pl/sql or sql ??

XML output from Repostiory Reports

Hi,
Any ideas why the table definition report (cktci.rdf) data from the Repository Reports cannot be generated to XML?
I'm running Designer ver. 9.0.2.91.9, Reports ver. 9.0.2.0.3 . XML is not on the destination format list in Repository Reports, but if you type in xml, the DESFORMAT parameter is correctly set to it. However, only part of the data model is output to the xml file:

The biggest problem is that the main group G_APP from the report definition is not generated to XML, in spite of its parameter "Exclude from XML Output" being set to No. Any ideas why this happens?
Regards,
Tomasz

hello,
you can specify the look of the XML tags in the "XML Settings" property of the respective field. so let's say your datamodel has the colun called NAME then by default the xml tag would look soemthing like this
<NAME>this is the value </NAME>
now if you set the value for the
"XML Tag" property and the "XML Tag Attributes" property to e.g. facet and name="his-name"> (the * is just to terminate the the values in this text) the generated XML tag would look something like
<facet name="his-name">name="his-name"></facet>
columns that are not in the datamodel (like i asume you mean by <stuff> and <futurestuff> you can create by adding formula columns into your datamodel. formula columns have the same "XML settings" section in their property sheet and can be modified accordingly.
hope this is what you are looking for.
thanks,
ph.

No XML output for a report Oracle 11.5.10.2 RDBMS 10.2.0.5.0

I created a very simple rdf and ran it without problems.
I then generated an .xml file and loaded this into into the template builder using xml publisher.
I created the rtf and using xml Publisher administrator created a template and data definition for my report (TESTRDF)
"The xml page cannot be displayed
Cannot view xml input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.
The following tags were not closed: TESTRDF5, LIST_G_VENDOR_NAME. Error processing resource 'http://cc002101.smart.star.net...
Here is an example of the xml
"- <LIST_G_VENDOR_NAME>

<ORGANISATION_ID_>102</ORGANISATION_ID_>

"

I would recommend checking the content of the file on the server. The problem with displaying an XML file through the browser is that it won't always display it properly, for example if there is a character id doesn't recognise.
Having opened up the original file, yuo should be able to see the issue more easily.

PDF Rendering slow in BI publisher report.

Hi Experts,
I have created a BIP report with a simple query which take only 2 seconds to run on Database.
But when i embed that BIP report as a PDF on OBIEE dashboard. It takes 5 minutes to complete.
It is a report with 10000 records. Not sure how to optimize it as the Query takes 2 seconds only and the slowness occurred at the BIP level.
Is there are optimization i can do at PDF generation or at BIP level.
Thanks
Swami

XML Publisher report giving XML tag output

Dear All,
Please note that we need to convert the standard report 'Bill of Material Comparison Report' to XML Publisher report.
But we were not able to get the desired PDF output instead it shows only XML output.
This report is not a direct concurrent program call to rdf, this concurrent program is triggered from a function.
How can we overcome this issue..,
Please update,
Many thanks...,

Hi Kiran,
Please find the below info:
Could you please confirm whether you have made the standard program's executable as 'XDODTEXE', and created a data definition with the rdf shorname and Data templte with the template defined.
-- Done
Could you also provide how your calling the report and when the request submitted are u able to see the template name on the submitted request ?
-- The report is called through the application (in Bill of materials through a Form Function) When we select the comparison, it will display a comparison form, where we need to select the appropriate parameters and a button called 'Report' if clicked, it will fire the 'Bill of Material Comparison Report' concurrent program
But after the concurrent program submission, we cannot see any template been attached to the submitted conc. pprog. but the template is been already attached to the concurrent program through the XML Publisher Administrator
Many thanks....

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:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/xml-publisher/docs/XMLP5.6.1UserGuide.pdf
Oracle XML Publisher and Oracle Reports
Oracle XML Publisher and Oracle Reports
Also Please check below thread:
XML output for pdf concurrent program

How to do UNION in an XML output

How to do union in an XML output
I have a requirement that I need to combine the results of 2 queries and get the final XML output. Typically this sound very easy and can b
be done with a simple UNION operator. But my query is a hierarchical query with CURSOR at the column level
For example
SELECT
EMPNOm
CURSOR(
          SELECT
                    DEPTNO
                    FROM
                    DEPT
                    WHERE
                    EMPNO = :EMP_NO) AS DEPT
FROM
EMP
In oracle 9i UNION is not allowed in nested queries. One workaround is to populate the data from query one in a temp table and then from query 2 finally fetch the data from this temp table.
Can this requirement be fulfilled in any easirer way using SQLX or something else. Please suggest me .
Thank You

I'm afraid I have no idea what you are trying to achieve with Query you have posted. Can ypu provide some idea of what you would want the output of the query to look like given the data in the EMP and DEPT tables and a given value of EMPNP...

JDOM has an XMLOutputter.
DOM Level 3 allegedly supports outputting from the DOM itself.
However if you don't want to use JDOM, and you don't have access to DOM Level 3, there is a way to do it using transformers. I'm not sure if this is a trick or whether it's considered the standard way to do it.
import javax.xml.transform.Transformer;
import javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory;
import javax.xml.transform.dom.DOMSource;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult;
Document dom; // this is what you want outputted
OutputStream stream; // this is where you want it outputted
Transformer identity = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer();
identity.transform(new DOMSource(dom), new StreamResult(stream));Note that it's not actually much code if you keep the identity transform around for reuse. JDOM's approach is a lot simpler though. :-)

R12 Check Printing Need XML output for seeded data definition--urgent

Hi--
I really need to get ahold of the XML output from the checks running off the data definition called "Oracle Payments Funds Disbursement Payment Instruction Extract 1.0" in Oracle R12 quickly--particulary the XML tag that holds the MICR string (should be the concatenation of Check Number, Routing and Acct number).
I found an entry here in the forums about running a query of:
SELECT XMLType.getClobVal(instruction)
FROM IBY_XML_FD_INS_1_0_V
WHERE rownum =1 ;
to get the entire XML output. I have an open SR but haven't really gotten anywhere with it yet.
However, all we get back is an error about datatype. Could someone please help out with this--it is quite urgent as I need to finish this last piece of the checks and work with the bank on formatting this week.
Thanks--I'd really appreciate any assistance!
Kate

SELECT XMLType.getClobVal(instruction)
INTO x_extract_doc
FROM iby_xml_fd_ins_1_0_v
WHERE payment_instruction_id = p_payment_instruction_id;
or you can use
SELECT document FROM iby_trxn_documents order by creation_date desc;
provided that the last run was urs.

Build Reports from XML output from Reports

Hi,
I was just wondering if it is possible to build reports from output in XML format, originally generated by Oracle Reports.
The XML output produced by Reports is stored in a database for further processing.
TIA
Hien

Hi Hien
If I have understood this right, you need to create report in XML format from an XML Report Definition File. From the Builder, Generate to File from the File menu and choose XML format for the output.
Remember that XML output from Reports is Data driven and faithfully reproduces the Data Model. It is NOT layout driven.

XML output in Apps instead of PDF

Hi All,
I have converted several Oracle reports to XML Publisher and working fine in EBS. The problem I have is that I am getting the XML instead of a PDF output when running a report under Release Sales Orders form(Pick Slip). I am able to preview the PDF output in the XML Admin page using similar XML file.
I have the concurrent program definition changed to XML from text and XMLP template/data definition configured. Any idea on the issue?
Best regards,
MM

Hi MM,
Are you still in 11i? Check if the report(Pick Slip) is being submitted thru document set (OM(R)> Setup> Shipping> Documents> Document Sets)… if yes, then you probably need to apply a patch... or have you tried Gareth's solution explicitly calling from report AfterReport trigger?
