Limitation in 5.6.2 and 5.6.3 XML Publisher

TIm,
According to Oracle Support:
BLOB and CLOB have limited support in 5.6.2 and 5.6.3, i.e we support them from either SQL or data template without datastructure.
So if you remove the datastructure section, it should works.
<dataTemplate name="Employee_Listing" description="List of Employees">
<dataQuery>
<sqlStatement name="Q1">
<![CDATA[SELECT logo LOGO from EMP e]]>
</sqlStatement>
</dataQuery>
</dataTemplate>
In 10.1.3.3 we remove the limitation.i.e supported with multiple queries with data structure.
Does anybody have any solution how I can use Blob column with multiple queries and data structure

I asking how to show the parameter values in the excel report file name.......while do view/export...when i do save it has to save like this...*param1_param2_param3_repname.xls*

Unable to display the Kit Items and component Items in XML Publisher

we have created an Order with Kit Items,when we Pick Release the Order it is not printing Kit Items as it is Oracle standard functionality. We customized the Pick Slip RDF to display Kit Items.
when we run the XML Publisher version of Pick Slip report, it is displaying component Items on one page and Kit Items on another page without header information.
How can we display Kit Items and Component Items on single page instead of 2 pages?
Please give us suggestions to implement this in XML Publisher.
Thanks&Regards,
Suresh.

Suresh
I dont know anything about the Pick Slip template so am unable to help without more information.
If there are enough kit items to fill more than one page then w/o reducing the font size you'll have to put up with the items spilling to a second page

How to remove a font file and its mapping from XML Publisher Administrator

Hello,
I am trying to remove a font file and its mapping from the XML Publisher Administrator. If this is not possible, is there a way to disable it?
The reason why I am asking this is because we just got a new check printer, and I was able to print just fine. However, the MICR font was not coming up properly on the check, so I went ahead and configured the font with the XML Publisher Administrator. Now my check output is coming up blank after running the XML report publisher program. The only change I did was to upload the MICR font and mapped it.
My template and rdf report file are working fine in another environment we have, so I know that's not the problem.
Any help is appreciate it.
Thanks.

This is how you do it
Font
DELETE FROM xdo_lobs
where lob_code like '<Font_name>';
Font Mapping Set
DELETE FROM xdo_font_mapping_sets_TL
WHERE mapping_code like '<MAPPING_CODE>'

Oracle's XML Publisher in JDeveloper and XSQL Servlet

A While ago, in this thread JDeveloper 10g, XSQL and FOP , was mentioned an ongoing effort for the "integration of Oracle's XML Publisher in JDeveloper and XSQL Servlet", Is this still happening ?, will this be something will be able to use without having to be an Oracle Apps shop? Any additional info would be appreciated.

Hi,
is there any progress about XML publisher integration with JDeveloper. I'm right now examining XML publisher but there is no explicit directions and explanations of using XML publisher with jdeveloper.
any news !?

I have an older Mac Pro (2006). I want to install Boot Camp and Windows. I have installed a boxed Snow Leapord on the machine. And it says the download of the Boot camp drivers cannot continue because they are not available. But at that point I have not inserted a windows disk, so how does it know i have XP?
So it appears I am limited to Windows 7? And where are the Windows 7/Boot Camp Drivers? On the OS disk?
Finally, since I have necer considered Windows 7 before, I assume there are no compatability issues with mainstream applications that were running in XP?
Thank you.

You're welcome
Just remember to reformat the partition (bootcamp partition) to NTFS with the windows installer, ensure to pick the correct partition.

Imovie is limited to its import formats and does not allow for storing video in any rawformat. Which means all videos will contain lossy compression applied to the video-.with no way to edit full format video. Is this statement true?

yes and no!
using the intended Import from Camera routines, iM converts automatically in its very own AppleIntermediateCodec. so, answer is yes.
but …
a) Apple claims , aic is non-lossy intermediate codec. working with proRes in FCPX taught me, there are even less non-lossy-ness codecs
b) iM offers an Archive feature, which is basically a simple Finder/copy operation which 'clones' your SDcards content into some folder on your harddrive; e.g. you can later use these untouched 'raws' in another editor such as FCPX. so, answer is no.
c) when you 'override' the import routines by manually re-wrapping mts into a mov container, iM handles the 'native' h264s ... so, answer is no.
d) adding any effect, transition etc. reduces any interlaced source to 540p. (if you're working with 720p source, res is kept) … so, answer is yes. or, in 720p case, no.
< Johnny Depp's voice >… savvy?
Does iMovie support HD 1080p @ 60 fps?
via Import from Camera? No.
via re-wrapped mts>>mov? I was told yes, some say no.
one thing to be kept in mind when talking about these 'issues':
iM, this 12€, is meant as a CONSUMER toy tool.
it supports AVCHD vers1 (=no 1080/60p, no >24Mbps, no 3D).
fingers crossed, we'll see soon some iM/QT/FCPX update for support of AVCHD v2 ........
the main consumer devices are within the specs, iM supports.
using professional equipments makes usage of professional software (FCPX, AP) optional.
sorry for lengthy answer.

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)

XML Publisher and the Oracle Shipping Transactions Form

I am running 11.5.10.2. I need to print Simplified Chinese characters in a document. We converted to the UTF-8 character set so the server can render these on forms and such. I am using Oracle Reports 6i to produce a report, but due to the limitations with this product it will not produce PDF output with Chinese characters. XML Publisher however works great. The concurrent manager is set so the report produces XML which is then set to the template and out comes a really cool looking layout with Chinese that can be viewed, printed, or e-mailed anywhere.
Now I have put this report into a document set so it can be printed from the Shipping Transactions form. But it does not work. There is no output. Metalink Note:312194.1 states development only supports XSL-FO and this will not be available until R12.
Is this really true? Has anyone else come across this? Any suggestions on how to get around this?

Hi
Im assuming you are using the EBusiness Suite becasue of your reference to AR and AP modules. If so getting using an ORacle Report as a datasource for XMLP to format is pretty straightforward. There is a white paper on metalink describe the complete process - Note 295409.1. This will be available on the public site soon http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/applications/publishing/index.html
As for AR and AP, there is no reason at all why you can not use XMLP with the existing Oracle Reports in those modules. You will start to see more and more modules providing embedded reporting functionality in the EBS based on XMLP technologies.

Report 6i rdf's and XML Publisher

I'm trying to decide whether to implement Reports Developer 10g or XML Publishing as our reporting tool. Can I get some feedback from XML Publisher users who have also worked with the Oracle reporting tool Reports 6i? (I'm currently working with 6i)
How difficult is it to convert existing .rdf's into XML douments?
Are the complex queries represented in the 6i data model neatly transferred to the XML document or is there a lot of tweaking involved?
Do you find that you can create complex queries in the XML Publisher tool or is it easier to do it in Reports 6i and transfer the results over to XML?
How many of the Oracle seeded reports that are delivered as .rdf's have you converted to using the XML Publisher?

Hi Tim,
Context: R12 France Telecom (FT) migration from 11i
FT Reports are complex and the quantity of data / size of files generated by reports can reach up to 20Go. So I need to convert RDF to DATA Template because RDF can not generate some so big files (limit=2Go in 11i and may be 10Go in 12)
I experience some troubles / issues / limits with reports conversion to XML.
1 - some Data templates are not generated because of error : [052107_102109040][][EXCEPTION] java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: Index: 0, Size: 0. I sent you 2 mails in the past with error detail but have no answer.
2 - Data Templates are not directly usable because Reports include call to packages stored in PLL files. Pakages definition are well include in XML file generated by Report converter (1st step of conversion) but are not take in account when PL/SQL routine generation (Data template generation).
Can you help me especially for the 1st issue
I'd like to show a XMLP demo to FT using the Data source generator XDODTEXE in GL. I see XDOGLDEMO and GLGENJRNDT concurrent programs but there is no Data Definition / XML Data Template associated. Can you tell me if it exists a Data Template and where it can be retrieved from.

How to validate and transform large (180M) xml files

Hi:
I've been looking at various ways to do this with oracle and am getting a bit lost in the sea of documentation and different ways to go about this. I was hoping that something like the XMLParser class and XMLTransform would be smart enough to handle large files by using SAX when it has to but I'm getting "too many nodes" when trying to transform a really large file. I've gotten oraxsl to handle it if I pass in the proper memory parameters on the command line but a) this will still have limits and b) I was trying to do this in a stored procedure which (I think) means I'm looking at XMLParser?
I've also seen documentation on something called "Scalable DOM" but I think that's only in 11g? So I'm thinking I have to write a (Java?) stored procedure to loop through the top elements of this XML file (select extract(...)) and transform each node?
I have the XML, XSD, and XSLT all in clob columns. What's the easiest/quickest path within Oracle to validate the XML against the xsd and translate source XML with XSL?
I'm using Oracle 10gR2 on RH Linux.
Thanks.

So I'm thinking I have to write a (Java?) stored procedure to loop through the top elements of this XML file (select extract(...)) and transform each node? Here's something I've written a while back when I hit the same restrictions ("too many nodes") on 10.2.0.4.
It takes XMLType as input parameters (but it's easy to adapt for CLOB), and streams the transformed XML directly into a file :
create or replace and compile java source named ora_xslt_util as
import oracle.xml.parser.v2.*;
import oracle.xdb.XMLType;
import java.io.*;
import org.w3c.dom.*;
public class oraXSL
private static XMLDocument getXMLDocument(XMLType xml) throws Exception
    XMLDocument doc = null;
    DOMParser parser = new DOMParser();
    parser.setValidationMode(oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLParser.NONVALIDATING);
    parser.setPreserveWhitespace(true);
    parser.parse(new StringReader(xml.getStringVal()));
    doc = parser.getDocument();
    return doc;
public static void transform(XMLType doc, XMLType xsl, String filename) throws Exception
    OutputStream os = new FileOutputStream(filename);
    XMLDocument xmldoc = getXMLDocument(doc);
    XMLDocument xsldoc = getXMLDocument(xsl);
    XSLProcessor xsp = new XSLProcessor();
    XSLStylesheet xss = xsp.newXSLStylesheet(xsldoc);
    xsp.processXSL(xss, xmldoc, os);
    os.close();
}and the PL/SQL wrapper (originally part of a package) :
PROCEDURE processXSL (
   p_xmldoc IN XMLType
, p_xsldoc IN XMLType
, p_filename IN VARCHAR2
IS
LANGUAGE JAVA NAME 'oraXSL.transform(oracle.xdb.XMLType,oracle.xdb.XMLType,java.lang.String)'
;

Generating pdf report via concurrent manager and xml publisher

I have report (rdf) which works fine in eBusiness Suite but Id like to create translatable reports with reach layout (comparing with the Report Builder) based on the functionalities of the XML publisher. Ive made all necessary steps (first change the output format for that report in concurrent manager from pdf to xml, submit the report to get xml file, which Ive used in Microsoft Word Template Builder to make layout in rtf file, and create data and template in XML Publisher Administrator in eBusiness Suite).
When Ive submitted that report from concurrent manager, after the concurrent manage finished his job I got the warning message.
Also the output file is not generated and in log file there is a message: One or more post-processing actions failed. Consult the OPP service log for details.
Concurrent manager works fine, but there are problem when concurrent manager send the xml output of the report to XML Publisher which have to create pdf layout based on rtf template.
I think there might be a problem with report complexity, while Ive used layout formatting, api calls to eBusiness Suite, parameters, placeholders, attached library etc.
If it is impossible to get new report based on xml publisher template, what is the purpose of xml publisher if it is so limited, while every eBusiness Suite Report is so complex.
I hope there will be a person on this forum with the same problem, otherwise Ill give up at all from XML Publisher, at least until it come a better version of that tool which it seems to be in early development phase and not ready for the market yet.

All of the complex report logic is handled in your Oracle Report (rdf) file.
If your Oracle report is working OK, then this report should be generating XML.
After running your report, go to the View Requests window. Highlight your request, and click the Diagnostics button. Then click the 'View XML' button. If you see XML data, then you should be OK.
When I faced a similar issue, it was because the '1 step' process didnt work for the particular report I was using. The '1 step' process doesn't work for every report. Which report are you using?
If the report is submitted via a form (not the concurrent manager request form), then you probably need to use 2 steps to produce the desired output.
For more information, see the following thread:
Enhancment to avoid 2 step check printing
