  • Issues with BI publisher report in dashboard

    Hello all,
    I got some issues about BI publisher reports in a dashboard.
    I use a dashboard prompt in combination with a BIP report.
    1.) I don't want to see the publisher control bar in my dashboard. Now you can't view the report anymore after using the dashboard prompt. Because it says you have to press the view button which is on the publisher control bar.
    So when I add the bar. Then I have first to press on go in the dashboard prompt and after that I have to press on view in the publisher control bar.
    2.) When I open my dashboard I see a scroll bar in my BIP report. Now when I use the dashboard prompt, it disappears. So I can't view the entire report anymore
    3.) I like to develop in english, but the test must be in dutch. Now I have a english dashboard with a dutch control bar. Also logging in to BIP in english and then navigating to analytics will not help.
    4.) I can't use I-bots on BI publisher reports, or can I?
    5.) This is not really an issue, but more like a problem but I want that users can view the BIP report on the dashboard only in HTML, but I want that they only can export to excel, is this possible?
    Hoping for some answers ;)
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Venkat,
    Thanks for your quick respond.
    1.) Auto Run is enabled. And the report runs automatically as well. But then it ignores the dashboard prompt (as a regular report would do as well). But when I choose some values in the prompt and then press go. Then it says I have to press on view as well.
    2.) no that is not the case. My report is so big that it always need a scroll bar ;) also adjusting the size settings in the dashboard doesn't help. The only occurs when viewing in HTML, when previewing in excel or RTF it all just work fine.
    3.) true, but ow well this is the least importetant one ;) so if this doesn't work, than it doesn't work ;)
    4.) Ok, I will have a look on that.
    5.) I did enabled HTML and EXCEL outputs in my BIP report. But when the first point is working, then I don't want to see the control bar anymore and I want to have the output on the dashboard in HTML and then I want to build a button, or a link or something that exports the request to excel. Is that possible?

  • Phone Numbers in BI Publisher report woes

    Hi,
    I am having the following issue in BI Publisher reports, with phone numbers.
    Essentially what happens is that BI Publisher displays the phone number with a string of zeros after it (which is in fact the value stored in the Siebel database).
    I wondered if there is a way round this problem?
    I'll include some information below about how Siebel handles phone numbers.
    How Siebel Handles Phone Numbers:
    1) There is List of Values with Type PHONE_FORMAT.
    Inside the LOV's is a string of zeros (0) a different number/with/without spaces/ etc defined for each country.
    The 'Order' column of the LOV contains the country code.
    Next, there is two different scenarios about what will happen to the phone numbers you enter in Siebel:
    1) You enter the phone number EXACTLY as specified in the PHONE_FORMAT LOV.
    Result:
    UI Display:
    In the Siebel UI the phone number will be displayed correctly.
    For the Object Manager you entered it in, the country code would be trimmed off the front if you entered it.
    For other Object Managers, the phone number would be displayed e.g. with +44 before.
    Database Level:
    The phone number is stored WITHOUT additional zeros after.
    BIP report based on the field:
    THe BIP report always displays the database value (in this case without zeros).
    2) You enter the phone number DIFFERENTLY to as specified in PHONE_FORMAT LOV.
    Result:
    UI Display:
    In the Siebel UI the phone number will be displayed correctly.
    For the Object Manager you entered it in, the country code would be trimmed off the front if you entered it.
    For other Object Managers, the phone number would be displayed e.g. with +44 before.
    Database Level:
    The phone number is stored WITH additional zeros after (I guess they represent the formatting in some way).
    BIP report based on the field:
    The BIP report always displays the database value (in this case with the zeros).
    Finally, just to say we work across the whole of Europe, Middle East and Africa which includes a great many different countries.
    Each of these countries can have different length phone numbers, and there may be cases were a country has more than 1 number of digits in a phone number.
    (So trimming the number is not very helpful)
    Does anyone have any experience of getting BI Publisher to display phone numbers 'correctly' or 'how they are displayed in the Siebel UI?'
    Any help you can offer would be appreciated.

  • Line crossing at the corner of the boxes in XML Publisher Report (PDF)

    Hi,
    We are facing some issue in XML Publisher report using RTF template and PDF output. In PDF output it looks like 2 lines are crossing each other at the corner of the boxes (which are made of the Table in RTF). Did you guys face this issue earlier? Is there any resolution?
    thanks,
    Ranen

    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

  • XML Publisher to BI Publisher - Report Upgrade

    Hi all,
    Would like to know what the procedure is, if any, to convert XML Publisher Reports to BI Publisher report formats after an upgrade?
    Thanks

    are you talking about RTF templates ?
    I dont think, you have to convert all of them .
    if it works in XMLP, it shud work in BIP too...
    Both are same product with different version.

  • Blank line in xml publisher report -

    Hi Friends,
    There is one issue in xml publisher report. Its an rdf based xml report
    In header section it used to display customer address details. like below
    address1
    address2
    address3
    city state province postal_code
    country
    If address2 is NULL, it prints a blank line in between the total address. Need to avoid blank line and print address3 in address2 position.
    How can i remove the blank line? Finally there shouldn't be any blank spaces or lines.
    Any idea? Plz post here.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Arun Peddi

    Use a conditional region around the Address2. Your if statements could look something like this.
    <?if:FIELDNAME!=''?><?FIELDNAME?><?end if?>Have the if statement start at the end of ADDRESS1 and endif at the begining of ADDRESS3.

  • XML Publisher report default output in Excel format.

    Hi,
    We have defined one concurrent program whose output format is text, this concurrent program executable is PL/SQL and in this PL/SQL program we are generating XML data and displaying XML using below fnd_request.
    l_conc_id := FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST('GMP','GMPPDROP','', '',FALSE,
         p_sequence_num,chr(0),'','','','','','','','','','','',
    We have also defined template for this.
    Using below fnd_request we are choosing template and data is getting generated in PDF format. Now our requirement is to display the output by default in Excel format.
    FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST('XDO','XDOREPPB','', '',FALSE,'',
    l_conc_id,554,G_comb_pdr_temp,
    G_comb_pdr_locale,'Y','RTF','',scale_report,'','','','','',
    When i saw XML Report Publisher concurrent program, there is one parameter for Output Format and i tried passing 'Excel'/EXCEL/excel to this parameter but output is still coming in PDF format.
    FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST('XDO','XDOREPPB','', '',FALSE,'',
    l_conc_id,554,G_comb_pdr_temp,
    G_comb_pdr_locale,'Y','RTF','Excel',scale_report,'','','','','',
    I have also tried giving Default Output to EXCEL in template definition but this is also not working.
    Your valuable suggestions highly appreciated.

  • When running an xml publisher report the xml output leads to 9 mb and the excel output file leads to 20 mb.But the output records is originally 4000 records. When copy to new excel it is showing 3.5 mb only. Does anyone knows the answer for this issue?

    When running an xml publisher report the xml output leads to 9 mb and the excel output file leads to 20 mb. The records contained in excel file is 4000 records. When taking the excel records and copy to new excel file the excel file size is 3.5 mb only.Why does the oracle software generates 20mb file?
    Does any one knows the answer please advice?

    Hello,
    This issue is because the Excel output from BI Publisher is MHTML (XML Publisher generates XHTML) not binary .xls.
    MHTML and XHTML are more verbose formats than binary .xls.
    It will be large because the current Excel output is just an HTML and not compressed like PDF. Please use the workaround (save it as .xls file).  This is a known limitation of RTF layout templates.
    BI Publisher Enterprise has a new feature True Excel Templates. The layouts generate binary Excel output.
    Excel Output File Size Generated By BI Publisher is Very Large (Doc ID 760437.1)

  • Unable to print xml publisher report in excel format in R12

    Hi All,
    We are unable to print xml publisher report in excel format in R12. We were able to see the excel output but it's printing junk characters while printing and it's printing without any issue with PDF format.
    Please let me know how to fix this issue.
    Thanks,

    Hi Raja,
    I presume you have gone through the debugging process of testing your template locally first to get the expected result.....
    If yes, this note might probably be helpful "Changing Output Format to RTF or Excel in XML Publisher Request Does Not Display Output Correctly (Doc ID 404512.1)"

  • Number format issue in XML Publisher from OAF (',.' is replaced by 'u n')

    Hi All,
    I am facing a problem in XML Publisher report. In report I need to display some number fields with 'USD' format. In RTF, data type 'Number' and format '###,##0.00' is selected. If I run concurrent program from oracle core forms using System Administrator > Concurrent > Request, I am able to get correct number format.
    Ex : 123456.00 After Number format : 123,456.00
    Also its working fine from XML Publisher Administrator responsibility (using Preview).
    But problem is when I submit the concurrent request through OAF, I am not getting correct data. ',' is replace by 'u' and '.' is replace by 'n'.
    Ex: 123456.00 In Report 123u456n00
    Checked profile value : ICX: Numeric Character and its set to 1,000.00 at site level.
    Do I need to set character set anywhere in OAF before calling concurrent program?
    I tried to use "alter session set nls_numeric_character = ',.';" by calling stored procedure from OAF. But still its not working.
    Please give me solution for this.

  • BI Publisher Report Layout Get Distorted when viewed in different format

    Hi Experts,
    I am facing issue while running BI Publisher Report.
    The Report Layout work fine in one output format (PDF).
    But when the same report is generated in different format it get distorted (HTML,EXCEL).
    Could any one please let me know how to resolve this issue.
    Is there any SR raised for this issue.
    Cheers,
    Andy

    Hi,
    I have faced a similar issue, Finally i created a different template for each output type, and tweaked each template through trial and error till the output it provided was what i was looking for in the specified output format, I had a different template for PDF and a different one for HTML. If I used the html optimised template for PDF out, there were all sorts of alignment issues, etc.and vice versa. As for the date format, you can set the parmeter correctly using the word date format properties.

  • XI R2 To 3.1 Sp2 migration and report format issues

    Hello,
    is there a way to fix or troubleshoot report format issues after migrating to 3.1?
    We have a heavy report that the format (the way the report looks) is very important. In crytal Reports 2008 sp2 the format is OK.
    But from BOE CMC or from url reporting the report format have problems.
    Thank you

    Hi Ruhver,
    Crystal Report documents are heavily dependant on the printer driver for formatting.  If you design the report using a specific default driver than it will be dependant on that printer driver for formatting.  When you publish it to Enterprise, the same printer driver may not exist so the report will be re-formated to fit the default driver on the server, or if no driver exists, it will use an internal method to format the report. 
    Try this as a test.
    1) Open your report in the CR 2008 designer.
    2) Click on the File/Page Setup. 
    3) Select the "No Printer" option.  This tells the report to use this internal method to format the report
    4) Save this document as "Title - No Printer"
    5) Export it to Enterprise
    6) Test this report again.  Formatting should be identical in BOE vs CR.
    Keep in mind that when you change the driver in step 3, the report in the designer will re-format.  You may need to tweak the report again in order for the formatting to be as desired.
    Test this out and if you require further assistance with this, I would suggest opening a message.  This is a common issue and a support engineer could likely help you with this pretty easily.
    Hope this helps,
    Jb
