Issues in generating xml from Report Builder as per XSD provided

Hi,
We are provided with XSD's for each report. Now we need to generate XML's from report that are as per the XSD's provided to us.
But the problem come's when we have to define hirearchies.
Like for example
1. Our Report is based on the following query:
SELECT DISTINCT '' as DUMMY
,               fil.file_number
,      TO_CHAR (TO_DATE (RTRIM (LTRIM (fil.processing_date)), 'YYDDD'),'DD-MM-YY') Processing_Dt
, rp_bsu.service_user_number
, rp_bsu.service_user_name
,     rp_ac.account_number
, rp_ac.account_name
,     rp_ac.account_type
,     rp_ac.sortcode
, NVL(ovr_lmt.account_section_value,0) AS
account_section_value
,     NVL(ovr_lmt.overlimit_amount,0) AS overlimit_amount1
, (NVL(ovr_lmt.overlimit_amount,0) - NVL(ovr_lmt.account_section_value,0)
) value_to_date
, (NVL(ovr_lmt.overlimit_amount,0) -
NVL(lmt_usg.limit_amount,0)
) amount_overlimit
, ovr_lmt.over_limit_id, NVL(lmt_usg.limit_amount,0) AS
limit_amount
, lmt_usg.period_type,lmt_usg.currency
FROM v_rp_bacs3day_service_user rp_bsu,
v_rp_bacs_service_office rp_bso,
v_rp_account rp_ac,
t_file fil,
t_over_limit ovr_lmt,
t_limit_usage lmt_usg
WHERE rp_bso.handling_bank_code = :p_scheme_member
AND rp_bsu.sponsoring_bank_code = rp_bso.owning_bank_code
AND rp_ac.service_user_number = rp_bsu.service_user_number
AND rp_bsu.service_user_number = fil.originator
AND fil.status <> 'R'
AND fil.processing_date = (SELECT cycle_date
FROM t_cycle
WHERE status = 1)
AND lmt_usg.account_id = rp_ac.account_id
AND ovr_lmt.limit_usage_id = lmt_usg.limit_usage_id
AND TO_CHAR (ovr_lmt.exceeded_date, 'DD-MM-YYYY') =
(SELECT TO_CHAR (TO_DATE (RTRIM (LTRIM (cycle_date)),
'YYDDD'),'DD-MM-YYYY')
FROM t_cycle
WHERE status = 1)
2.The hierarchy as per xsd that we need to define is :
<ServiceUserAccount>
<ServiceUser>
     <Name></Name>
<Number></Number>
</ServiceUser> <SortCode></SortCode>
<AccountNumber></AccountNumber>
<NearOrOverLimitDetail>
<AccountType></AccountType>
<ProcessingDate></ProcessingDate>
..(there is a list of elements below it)
</NearOrOverLimitDetail>
</ServiceUserAccount>
In the xsd for the complex element type ServiceUser we need to display Service User Name and Number. For this I created a separate query Q2 in reports and joined it using data link with the parent Q1(which has data grouped on processing date) . So that it can be displayed as a separate element parallel to other elements like Sort code ,Account Numbers. But when we generate XML for this, then tags for Q2 query donot appear in xml.
And we get this hierarchy with missing Service User element
<ServiceUserAccount>
<SortCode></SortCode>
<AccountNumber></AccountNumber>
<NearOrOverLimitDetail>
<AccountType></AccountType>
<ProcessingDate></ProcessingDate>
..(there is a list of elements below it)
</NearOrOverLimitDetail>
</ServiceUserAccount>
Please let me know if you have any solution to implement this ASAP as its very urgent.
Thanks & Regds

Generate XML from report

How can I generate a XML file from an existing .rdf file? So I can run the xml report by itself. The xml file will contain all report definition. Thanks.

Unfortunately it currently isn't possible to use the builder to produce an XML definition of the report definition. This will be available in the next release (Reports 9i) which is currently expected to ship late summer/early fall. Until then, you need to code the definition in XML by hand. The tag reference is in Chapter 7 of the Publishing Reports manual.

How to generate XML Publisher report from PLSQL Stored Procedure in APPS

Hi,
I have concurrent program of type PLSQL Stored procedure.I need to generate XML Publisher report from the same.I have changed the output of the concurrent program as "XML" but when I tried running it,the XML tags are not generated.Due to this I am unable to create the template.Its a urgent issue.
Please help me out .
Thanks in advance.
Kaveri

Hi Kaveri
Sadly there is nothing magic about that output field. The only program type that you can flip it to XML and then magically get XML is for Oracle Reports. For plsql you will need to recode the plsql to generate XML rather than text that you have now.
You have some options, best option first:
1. Move the sql to a data template - check the user guide and blog for help or
2. Use SQL XML or XMLGEN (not great for large datasets) or
3. Use dbms_output.put_line and write the XML file manually - not performant at all

Generate PDF from App. Srv. Produces Larger File than from Reports Builder

Good Day,
I have a the below issue , and need your help please.
When generating a PDF report from the application server, the PDF size is large (200 MB) while
same report is generated from the builder with smaller size 10MB.
- Report Builder 9.0.2.0.3
- The report contain only TEXT no Image , and contain arround 4000 pages ...
The steps done from Application server in command line :
- First I tested with several values for the parameter OUTPUTIMAGEFORMAT : file size stays the same or increases.
- Second I tested with parameter PDFCOMP (for PDF compression) with varying values from 0 to 9 : file size stays the same.
Kindly help ...

From report builder :
I open only the .rdf and generate the output to a PDF file.
The number of page is from the PDf generated from Report builder , for the other one I Cant open it with PDF reader...
Thx.

Advantage and disadvantage of xml publisher, report builder and discoverer

Hi,
anyone can explain advantage and disadvantage of xml publisher, report builder and discoverer?
thanks in advance!

The best way i found was to put a equals and then double quotes... this only works for excel however it will allow you to cut and paste (ie to use the value to search in Oracle) and also to do vlookups.
In a bit more detail:
- I used word to generate my default table
- this created a field INVOICE_NUM
- in the cell in the table i put = " before the INVOICE_NUM field and then put the closing " afterwards.
The theory is that excel will concatenate the values together... because it has quotes around it, it will treat it as a string rather than simply a value.
For any other formats this will not work.
I'm guessing most people have moved on and resolved this some other way, but just thought I'd share the wealth!

Why is printing report different from report builder and app server

I created a report and when ran from report builder it looks fine.
And when i moved the report to server and ran the report in the browser using this url
http://192.1.1.8:7778/reports/rwservlet?userid=esp/esp_dev1@wdev&report=FMMA_VOUCHER.rdf&destype=cache&desformat=pdf
and print it the report shrinks, the fonts become small and the margins change. I am having hard time how to figure out a way to correlate the formatting in the report builder and when i run on the server using pdf format.
Is there any way to set the server so that the pdf output matches with the report builder.
Thanks.

I assume you are doing a cross platform deployment

How to generate XML from EBusiness suite ARXSGPO

Could someone tell me how I can generate XML from the EBusiness Suite Accounts Receivable report ARXSGPO.rdf I understand this report is called by a C program. I have tried changing the concurrent request to output format to XML the result does not resemble XML. Does anyone have any suggestions how I can generate XML from the ARXSGPO report?
Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark
the next release of XMLP will have last page only support. The problem is that at the template layer you do not know how many lines are going to fit on the page, so you never know what is going to be the last page. The only way around it for now is to specify the number of lines to a page and then check when all the lines have been rendered and then render the remit portion.
I have a sample invoice that does the same, drop me a mail, you can work out the email from my name and the fact I work for XMLP Im sure.

Showing Japanese characters from Report Builder

Hi , We've some problem showing the Japanese characters using Oracle Report builder 6i (6.0.8.17.0).
Our database version is Oracle9i-9.0.1.4.0 and
we'r using the DB character set as US7ASCII and National charecter set as UTF8 (Tried with AL16UTF16 but it's supported as per Oracle-metalink). We'r using Solaris 9 (OS 5.9) to invoke the Report Builder.
Japanese characters are able to insert and select from SQL prompt using Japanese Terminal..
But from the Report builder when we run the Report, we'r seeing some junk characters. Please help if anybody has worked on showing the Japanese characters from Report builder.
Thanks

Why it's so inefficient to generate XML from SQL queries?

I am learning to use Oracle9i XML DB to generate XML document using SQL queries. According to the document, there are multiple ways to do it (SQLX, DBMS_XMLGEN, SYS_XMLGEN, XSU). I am using SQLX to do it, but find it's so inefficient. Could someone point out what could be the problem?
I generate XML from TPC-H database, using the query as shown below. The indexes and primary key/foreign keys are created and specified. The system is Pentium IV 2GHz, Linux 2.4.18 with 512MB memory and 1GB swap. With database size 5MB, it spends about 300 seconds (TKPROF result) to generate the XML document. But for 10MB TPCH database, I cannot get the xml document after a long time. I find that all almost physical memory are used up by it. Therefore I stop it.
It seems that nested-loop join is used to evaluate the query, therefore it's very inefficient. I don't know whether there is a efficient way to do it.
Wish to get your help. Thank you very much!

Tim,
Oracle Reports was the orginal way to do this in an Oracle Apps environment. However, the XML Publisher team built a tool called data templates to do this as well. You can read several articles on how to use data templates on the XMLP blog. Here's the first arcticle in a series: http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/2006/11/08#a127.

Connecting to db2 from report builder via odbc

Hi!
Some manuals said, it is possible to connect to DB2 from Oracle SQL*Plus (we have version 8.0.6.0.0)
and from Oracle Report Builder.(6.0.8.11.3)
User must install OCA (Oracle Open Client Adapter for ODBC (6.0.5.29.0)) and make ODBC entry.
I did it.
run with: plus80 db2user/db2pass@odbc:db2test
SQL*Plus made the connection, but with errors:

The error refers PUPBLD.SQL, but I think it is Oracle specific, don't help.
Worse, that it can't connect from Report Builder, it just throws error.
If I set OCA_DEBUG=TRUE in registry, I have bonus messages:

I tried to connect to MsAcces too, but I got same errors.
Have you any idea, how can I solve this?

You have to change the report subscription, and untick the checkbox that says to also send it as a link.

Generating XML from database

I'm a total newbie in XML DB and need advice on generating XML from database.
The situation is the following: there is a legacy web application which uses an XML document as a configuration file. This document conforms to some well-defined schema. For instance:
<config>
     <title value="TITLE" />
     <subtitle value="SUBTITLE" />
     <style url="default.css" />
     <widgets>
          <widget id="1" opened="true" />
          <widget id="2" opened="false" />
     </widgets>
</config>
It contains portions of static data which are common for all users as well as dynamic personal data.
Dynamic data comes from two sources:
1) security considerations (for instance, not all widgets are available for some users) - thus the "master" configuration content must be filtered, but not otherwise modified;
2) user preferences (for instance, user can set widget2 to be opened by default) - thus values of some attributes must be different for each user. When the user saves her preferences, the entire document with new values is posted back to server.
We want to try to store user preferences, apply security and generate personalized configuration documents using XML DB.
So we need advice on storage models and generation procedures - which should be more efficient and easy to support or extend.
Please note, that there is no requirement to actually store data as XML.
Thanks in advance!
P.S.: Sorry for the incomplete initial post.

Subject in Email is always "Report sent from Report Builder"

We run Forms 6.08 in C/S - architecture.
Forms calls reports:
ADD_PARAMETER(pl_id, 'SUBJECT',TEXT_PARAMETER, 'Please read appending pdf' );
add_Parameter(pl_id,'DESTYPE',TEXT_PARAMETER, 'Mail');
Run_Product(reports, 'MY_Report', SYNCHRONOUS, BATCH, Filesystem, pl_id);
This works: Lotus pops up and a Email is initialized with a pdf appended.
But the subject isn't filled in properly. There is always a constant text: "Report sent from Report Builder"
How can I control the subject?
Is it possible to fill in some text into the Email-body?

Hi,
Please find my comments below :

and everything is working fine. Can you please suggest me here ?
