Issue with XML output

Hi All,
We have a XML report output which is sent to users email as a word and pdf attachment. I see that the word attachment which is being sent to the user has RTF extension. I tried to modify the file extension to docx and test it to see if that works. The email comes up with the docx extension but when I try to open the attachment it asks for encoding and no matter which encoding I choose the o/p doesn't display properly.
Does anyone have an idea of how to overcome this issue so that I might be able to send the user the word o/p with docx or doc extension instead of RTF.
Any suggestions are highly appreciated.
Thanks!!

Hi,
Might be worth logging a SR on this.

Oracle Reports with XML output showing data as asterik character

Hello,
I'm trying to create an Oracle report with xml output. Here is the issue I'm having some of the columns in my report are of datatype number. When I run the report and generate xml file the values for those columns(datatype number) are showing as (*) character, other columns are showing fine. But when I run the report as text output then data is fine. I don't understand why this is happening.
The property of column is Column Type - Database Scalar, Datatype - Number , width 0,-127.
Does the width has to do anything with this?
I'm using Report Builder 6.0.8.11.3, DB version 10g.
Can anyone please help me with the issue I'm having.
Thanks

If the links in your example report1 and report2
follow my format stated earlier
http://machine:port/reports/rwservlet/report=reportnam
e.rdf&destype=cache& paramform=htmlcss&server=<YourReportSe
rverName>&userid=scott/tiger@hrdb&desformat=pdf
This is what I believe
>
so http://machine:port/ is the port where
JBoss is running and
This should be the port that the report server is listening on
>
server=<YourReportServerName> is the name of
my oracle report server
so I call the above link in my current application
and the report would show up
Yes
>
that means (correct me if I am wrong) that my reports
would have to be deployed in OracleAS
Yes
>
I have to try all this yet as till this point I was
trying to run Oracle reports deployed in JBoss...
This may be possible, I am not sure.

Oracle J2EE Thin Client?
I am not sure what this is used for in your setup.

Need help on resolving the issue with adobe output server - error MSG256 & MSG 210 not in .ini file

Hi,
I am using adobe output designer 5.5 for designing the label template and using the Adobe output server for printing process.
In the Jfmerge.ini we given the condition "DiscardUnknownFields=Yes" for ignoring the unwanted fields in the .dat file.
During the process, I faced some issue with the output server in printing the labels.
When the .dat file is placed in the Data folder of adobe, the label is not getting printed in the printer.
The file is move to the error folder and an error file is getting generated which contains the error message as given below:
090826 02:59:02 D:\Program Files\Adobe\Central\Bin\jfmerge: [256]** Message Msg256 not in .ini file **
090826 02:59:02 D:\Program Files\Adobe\Central\Bin\jfmerge: [210]** Message Msg210 not in .ini file **
2009/08/26 02:59:02 D:\Program Files\Adobe\Central\Bin\jfserver.exe: [314]Agent exit message: [210]** Message Msg210 not in .ini file **
The output server is a new installtion and I verified the Jfmerge.ini file. It contains the message details of Msg256 and Msg210.
I also verified the license and it is a valid licence.
Kindly help me out in solving this issue.
Thanks
Senthil

I assume this is too late to help you, but other might need a hint. I had the same problem, and found some possible causes that I posted on http://codeznips.blogspot.com/2010/02/adobe-output-server-message-msg210-not.html.
It is quite likely that you are missing some double quotes around the path specifying the ini file (-aii), if its installed under "Program Files".
Hope this helps anyone....

Intermittent issues with video output initialization

Hi Guys,
I have received a new (i5, 15') Mac-book Pro more than 9 months ago. About 6 months ago it started having some serious intermittent issues with video output. Those issues are numerous and different every time, but all seems to lead to GPU problem. In chronological order:
1)Started showing static colors as flickering and white color as blue.
2)Blue screens in bootcamp and hangs in mac os
3)Startup problems (fail to start)
4)Startup problems resolved with firmware patch, but video fails to initialize during startups:shows black on mac os, and distorted green during bootcamp.
So right now I am stuck with #4. The main issue is that it is intermittent - sometimes it starts to happen and sometimes it does not. Is there any way I can make apple replace the unit or the video-card? I did bring it to a apple certified service center, but they did not give any crap, even when I was able to demonstrate it to 2 people in there and gave me back the unit after failing to reproduce the problem on their own. I have all those problems in video and photos, but I don't see anywhere I could send them besides this forum.
Some of the evidence (I have much more):

You are still under warranty. *Call AppleCare*
"Is there any way I can make apple replace the unit or the video-card? I did bring it to a apple certified service center, but they did not give any crap"
No you cannot make Apple do anything. What you can do is call _Apple Customer Relations_ in your country. You can call AppleCare & ask politely & firmly to be transferred over to Customer Relations if there is no direct phone number like there is in the US. Relay to them what you stated in this post. See what they can do for you.
You posted in the wrong MBP area (Original). I have requested that a HOST move your post to the proper forum MacBook Pro (2008 and Later). There will be no need for you to repost.

RTF templates- Issue with inconsistent outputs

Hi All,
I have an issue with rtf templates.We are on XML Publisher 5.6.3 with EBS with Bursting.Bursting is set at G_HEADERS in the contorl file.
I am using the <?start@last-page-first:body?><?end body?> function.It displays amount total for single page output and amount total only on the last page for multiple pages output.The above logic works perfectly when I have single header data in the XML file(single G_HEADERS).
<XX_MAIN>
-<LIST_G_HEADERS>
<G_HEADERS>
Lines Data(tree sub levels)
</G_HEADERS
<G_HEADERS>
Lines Data(tree sub levels)
</G_HEADERS
<G_HEADERS>
Lines Data(tree sub levels)
</G_HEADERS
</LIST_G_HEADERS>
</XX_MAIN>
However when there are multiple headers(G_HEADERS) in the same XML data file at the same tree level, all the outputs get generated as minimum 2 page outputs.Even though the data fits in 1 page for some of the G_HEADERS, it shows continued on the first page and just prints the total on the last page along with the header.
I appreciate your help with this.
Thanks,
Lavina

10g Reports issue with XML Data Source

Hi,
Has anybody ever encountered an issue with Oracle 10g report using an XML as the data source? What happens is, some of the values in the XML are printed to the wrong column.
One of the elements in our XML file is a complex type with 10 elements under it. The first 5 are picked up properly, but the last 6 are not. Elements #6 to #9 has a minimum occurence of 0. What happens is when element #6 is present, but #7 is, the value for element #7 is passed on to element #6.
The XSD and XSL files are both valid since the reports were working when we were still using 9i. There is no hidden logic in the report which might cause this issue to come up, i.e., the report just picks up the values from the XML and prints it to the appropriate columns.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Issue with XML bursting program

Hi All,
We have a Oracle concurrent program which generates PDF output using XML data and RTF template. This output is sent as attachment to a designated user using XML bursting.
The issue that we are facing is, the mail is sent to the recipients correctly when the program is run from my login. But when the same is run from anyone else’s login, the bursting program fails.
Suppose the receiver’s email id is [email protected], the error faced is
[oracle.apps.xdo.batch.DeliveryHelper][EXCEPTION] javax.mail.internet.AddressException: Illegal character in domain in string ``[email protected]@xyz.com''
On examining the XML bursting program log file for successful and error runs, I could see the below property in the log file-
For successful run: [SMTP_TO_RECIPIENTS:String] [[email protected]]
Whereas for unsuccessful run: [SMTP_TO_RECIPIENTS:String] [[email protected]@xyz.com]
Any pointers in this regard are highly appreciated.
Regards,
Kiranmayi.

Thanks for your quick response.
I believe the HP printer is an old one and I did have a couple of issues with it while using XML Publisher.However we've overcome those issues.
We have installed xpdf and have been using the pdf2ps utility.We have PASTA set up and printing works fine when Bursting is not used.
Is there some change I have to make to the configuration file/Bursting Control file to be able to use this pdf2ps utility to print to this Printer?
Nevertheless I will also try using ipp on one of our newer printers...
Thanks,
Lavina

Issue with XML report printing on R12 instance

Hi,
I'm facing issue with printing xml reports on R12 instance and followed the note (How To Print XML Publisher PDF Reports Via The Concurrent Manager:metalink id:338990.1) and configured the pasta printer,still printer output is showing the junk charcters.
Please let me know how to resolve the issue?.

Hi Hussien,
We are on 12.1.1 / 11g with AL32UTF8 character set, we have custom reports developed in BI publisher and some some migrated reported from earlier version.
Both BI publisher based custom like PO/Invoice/Cheque Print & seeded reports like "Active users/responsibilites" are being generated successfuly in pdf output. when copied to desktop and printed it prints properly. But when trying to direct output to printer from concurrent request it is printng junk.
I checked pasta configuration, all required ghostscripts tools are on the AIX box, am I missing anything in R12?

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

J2SE adapter PI 7.1 issue with XML to flat conversion and namespace length

Dear reader,
We are facing an issue with J2SE Adapter PI7.1 for a number of flows.
The flow requirements:
[1] Namespace length for interfaces is up to 100 characters
[2] The XML message must be converted to Flat on the adapter channel
Our PI system is at patch level 7 and we implement J2SE adapter on patch level 7 as well.
We found that the J2SE adapter on patch level 7 does not support long namespaces [1] (as it should since this is an PI 7.1 j2SE adapter) but no issues where found with the XML to flat conversion [2].
Experimenting with J2SE adapter on patch level 6 we found the long namespaces [1] are supported however an issue is found with the XML to flat conversion [2] as stated in SAP note 1335527.
An SAP Customer Message is raised on this issue however your input is highly appricated!
With Kind Regards,
Harald Kastelijn

I think the restriction of namespace length still remains in design time (IR).....the same however has been extended in configuration and runtime...this SAP note has some information: https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/870809

Issue with XML encoding

Hi,
I am querying an SAP instance for data, and I am getting back the data in an XML document...to which I need apply XSL transformation.
The instance is an German one... so I am getting a few strange characters because of which, the parser is uanble to apply the transformation.
I wrote a small java program to get more info on this particular character causing the problem, it turns out to be an ISOControl character. The properties (got by using the Character class API) are as below.
1. Character 1:
The getDirectionality is:0
The getNumericValue is:21
The getType is:2
The isDefined is:true
The isISOControl is:false
The isMirrored is:false
The isSpaceChar is:false
The isUnicodeIdentifierPart is:true
The isUnicodeIdentifierStart is:true
The isWhitespace is:false
2. character 2:
The getDirectionality is:9
The getNumericValue is:-1
The getType is:15
The isDefined is:true
The isISOControl is:true
The isMirrored is:false
The isSpaceChar is:false
The isUnicodeIdentifierPart is:true
The isUnicodeIdentifierStart is:false
The isWhitespace is:false
These characters appear to be white space in normal text editors...
This is how I am applying the transformation
TransformerFactory tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer transformer =
tFactory.newTransformer(
new javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource
(XSLURI)
StringReader sr = new StringReader(xmlToApply);
StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
transformer.transform(
new javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource(sr),
new javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult(sw)
return sw.toString();
I have tried to use "UTF-8", "ISO-8859-1" and other encodings, but in vain. Appreciate any pointers on this...

Also the postings are from 2 different perspectives... this is to address the issue that I am facing with XML parsing and how to eliminate that using XML apis...
My other posting about a possible work around (encoding) for the problem creating string...

Issue with query output

hi there,
I have an issue with the display of hours 00:00:00 in the query output in BW.
The system assumes it as 0 or blank and therefore display it under unassigned hour.
I am using the reference of 0TIME for this hourly display.
When I checked the 0TIME i could not find the corresponding SID value for 00:00:00 hours.
Can anybody please advise what needs to be done?
Thanks in advance,
Kind regard,
Kate

Hi Kate,
I am experiencing the same problem as you: an InfoObject, created referencing 0TIME, represented in the BEX Query as "#" when the Value is "00:00:00".
How did you work it out?
The Formula Variable strategy is not applicable in this case because 0TIME is not a key figure !

Strange issue with PO output

Hi All,
I have an issue with PO form.
It is Sapscript. After transporting the form to quality system for second time, I noticed in the output that Only for one window the output was not as per the code. I checked in SE71, new code was there but when I checked in debugger mode(while displaying the form via ME23n) the old code was still there. For other windows the code is just fine.
It seems quite strange to me.
Please let me know if anyone has a clue.
Thanks!
Regards
Archana

Hi
Check in DEV system whether the code is removed or commented properly.
Activate again and Re import
If you have access to SE71 in QAS (rarely), then check the script code.

Strange issue with cvs output

I have a report that works fine.
in the report I have the cvs enable output turned on.
when I click on the link to get the output and it opens in excel, all the columns are there, but one of the columns has the header but is blank on data. in the screen report its there, but not in cvs. has anyone see this type of issue before?

I have seen odd behavior like this, not this one exactly, when downloading reports to csv. I found that if the data in a column has certain characters, it would mess up the layout of the csv report. These characters were usually "non-printing" characters that were in a certain cell. The one that messed my report up was the character that indented the data within a cell. I also had intermittent issues with double quotes in the data and "soft" line breaks in the data (entered by pressing ALT-Enter key sequence in the original spreadsheet that we had uploaded). Open the csv file in an editor like Notepad++ or even MS Word. and see if you can figure out what is going on. Look carefully in the area where the discrepancies first apear; it could be coming from another cell.
