Issue in PDF output for xml report

Hi,
I developed one template in RTF and output in pdf is looks fine.
I have issue in the output, For some invoices i have more lines,when the line details comes to next page for the same invoice i can able to view only the lines information in the next pages for the same invoice without any header details.
I need header information too if the lines comes to the next page.
i given <G_Headers> in the top of the page and <End for each> in the end of the page.
please how to resolve this issue.
with regards
Ram

There are lot of ways of doing this,
Simple one is given here.
If you are using table to display the rows, there is option in word table properties, to repeat the header in each page,
Repeating table headers
If your data is displayed in a table, and you expect the table to extend across
multiple pages, you can define the header rows that you want to repeat at the start
of each page.
1. Select the row(s) you wish to repeat on each page.
2. From the Table menu, select Heading Rows Repeat

Conditional pdf Output for a report

Hi, depending on the value for one particular filed in my XML, I need to generate the pdf output.
For eg.. If Reqd = 'N', I don't want the XML publisher to generate the pdf output else if the value is 'Y', it should generate the output.
In my current implmenetation, The pdf report is getting generated for all cases.. i need to put the above mentioned check to restrict it .
If you have an idea on how to acheive it, please let me know.
Thanks and Regards
Madhu

Hi,
The first thing you'll need to do is to create a form field before any content in your rtf file.
The form field shall contains the following code in the Add help text:
<?if:REQD='N'?>Restricted content..<?end if?>
<?if:REQD='Y'?>The next form field shall be placed in the bottom of your file, containing:
<?end if?>I hope that helps.

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,.....

Cancel_flag in PO Output for Communication report

I'm trying to build logic into an RTF template for the "PO Output for Communication" report to handle cancelled lines. The cancel_flag can be set to "Y" at any of 3 levels - PO Header, PO Line and PO shipment. The field is called the same thing (cancel_flag) at all 3 levels but it doesn't always exist at all 3 levels. What do I call the field in my "IF" statement, so that it is looking at the correct field? Right now, if I am at the line level and I want to check the cancel_flag, if it doesn't exist, it looks at the cancel_flag at the shipment level.

have to see your for-each statements.
and you can do it, by using .. to go up one level
example from current level to go up4 level up ../../../../CUSTOM_FLAG
../../../CUSTOM_FLAG three lvl up.
Need to know the cancel_flag element you said, i can see only one :) in the given xml.

Add new font to PO Output for Communication Report

I'm trying to add a new font (Edwardian Script ITC) to the PO Output Communication report. I have added the font file through XML Publisher Administrator, and I have an RTF template report and a test XSL-FO report both correctly displaying the font. The PO Output for Communication report is not displaying the font and I believe it has something to do with the fact that it is a java concurrent program.
Any ideas on what additional steps need to be done to get this font to show up on the PO Output for Communication? Has anyone been successful in adding a different font to this report?
Thanks,
Suzanne

My RTF template is showing the font, and my test XSL-FO template is showing the font. The PO Output for Communication XSL-FO template is NOT showing the font.
I even tested by replacing the PO Output for Communication template file with my test template file. When I do that the font not applied in the PO Output for Communication report, even though it was applied using the same template in a test report.

Please help to customize the query of the report, where can i find the query, how to proceed.

The program is based on 4 views as below:

PO_DISTRIBUTIONS_XML
for relases you may refer to:
PO_RELEASES_XML
You need to modify the above mentioned views to add new fields.

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,
V

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>
- <G_VENDOR_NAME>

"

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.

For xml reports in ebs, if default font is not found, what does OPP do?

If the OPP is unable to locate a font file while merging an XML report in EBS R12.1.3 running on AIX (BI Version 5.6.3), what does it do? Is there a default set somewhere, and if so, can it be changed? Can it be changed only at the site level, or at the indvidual template level? Is there just one default or can you specify a different default for each font? Is there anyway to force the merge to error if the requested font is not found?

it's very difficult to say
you can seek some MOS for specific problem
IMHO
based on
Specific Special Characters Are Not Getting Printed In Pdf Output Format From XML Publisher Reports (Doc ID 1283873.1)
i try to suppose that some symbol will be incorrect without needed fonts and in OPP you can (may be) see some messages
based on
Slovak Characters Appear as Question Marks in XML Publisher PDF Output (Doc ID 1364992.1)
you can see question marks instead of characters

Issues with PDF output

Hi,
I have a report registered for language=English and territory=Netherlands. But when I run the report, I cannot see the output. I get the following message:
"Unable to find published output for this request"
The report fetches data and creates the XML correctly. I have registered the template with Language = ENglish and Territory = Netherlands. I run the above report from a Netherland installation.
Any pointers how to debug this.
Thanks,
Ashish

Hi Aashish,
I suggest you to check the RTF Template of your report ....as if your xml output file on submit request form--->diagnostic --->view xml ...is generated ... it means that your data defination file is perfectly fine but there is issue with your rtf template....may be some of grouping or tag is not put properly...
one thing i want to suggest you to pls save that data file as .xml extension and upload in rtf u designed on youe desktop.... check theprview if its coming fine or not.
let me know if u still facing the same problem.
regards
