Need help on XML Publisher Template features

Hi,
We have a requirement to develop an Invoice Register report to display the invoices for a period. Details of each Invoice and Amount needs to be displayed in a single line. At the bottom of each page we have to display running total of the Invoices displayed till that page. At the beginning of each page we have to display the total amount of Invoices displayed in the previous page.
We had developed the report using Reports Builder and registered concurrent program with output type as PDF. We are working in Spanish environment (UTF-8 character set). The report is working properly and producing output as required. But Spanish characters appear as junk character on the report. From Metalink Notes 443778.1 and 338990.1, I understand that PDF output in UTF-8 character set is not supported. We need to use XML Publisher to generate the PDF output.
We have developed .rtf template. It is generating PDF output and Spanish characters appearing properly. But we are not able to get the running total at the bottom of each page or total of previous page amounts at the beginning of each page. In the output from Reports Builder, we could use various page level options (like reset at page level, etc.) to achieve the requirement. But in the template generated using .rtf, I do not have such options.
I am not sure if there are advanced features in .rtf template to achieve the requirement. Could anyone please advise me how I can achieve the requirement? It would be great if you could provide me some reference.
Thanks and Regards,
Nabendu

Hi Nabendu.
BI publisher does have the option of showing a running total in PDF format usign a RTF template. If you look up the advanced rtf samples provided with the BI publisher plugin there is one example to show running totals, with the previous page total at the top.
you can find this located on your PC where the Word Plugin is installed. C:\Program Files (x86)\Oracle\BI Publisher\BI Publisher Desktop\samples\RTF templates
replace C:\ with the drive leeter of the drive where your desktop plugin is installed
Hope this Helps,
Domnic

  • Need help on XML Publisher Layout

    Hi,
    I need some help in the XML Publisher Layout.
    we have the following requirement for Disbursement Document report.
    In this report the check should always be printed at the bottom of first page(Preprinted Check). The invoices associated with that check should be printed on the top of the page and the remaining invoices associated with the check should be printed on the next pages with 'Invalid' on the bottom of remaining pages.
    Is there any way of restricting the invoices to a part of page, then print the check and then continue printing the invoices on to next pages and have 'Invalid' at the bottom of remaining pages?
    This requirement can be met with RDF but is it possible to do it from XML Publisher?Please let me know?

  • [SOLVED]List of XML Publisher templates

    hi frs,
    i want to know where the list of xml publisher templates are stored.
    anyone help.

    As I have said before, you have to create a new template definition and assign the seeded data definition to it. Then you need to do the Purchasing setup as defined in the other thread:
    Logo on a Standard Purchase Order Stylesheet
    PO Output for Communication will automatically use the defined template when the Purchasing setup is completed.
    Please also see the white paper mentioned in that thread.

  • XML Publisher Template Builder for Adobe Acrobat

    Need a XML Publisher Template Builder for adobe acrobat as is available for word.

    I did so.. however, publisher is not able to substitute xsl syntax by the actual value..
    eg.
    i had a <?X_PO_NUM?> in word (either using text field or manually writing this..) and i converted the word doc into pdf using third party s/w..
    when i uploaded this template pdf with sample data file using xmlp admin repsonsibility, and tried to preview the output,
    substitution is not happening..
    the requirement here is, to have some input fields in final PDF output for which report-users should be able to type values in.
    for which I assume initial template has to be in PDF itself..
    any ideas or pointers will be much appreciated..

    you can try to design the RTF by Regrouping the XML data based on your requirement then you may get proper order.
    Please see the Regrouping XML concept in the user guide.

  • How to do subtemplate Using XML Publisher Template Builder for Word 5.6.2

    Is it possible to do subtemplate (similar to subreport in crystal report) using XML Publisher Template Builder for Word 5.6.2?. If yes, can anyone explain how to call or import subtemplate from main template?
    Thank you
    V.Piraba

    Hi V. Piraba,
    Here is how it works for me in Microsoft Word 2003. I'm not sure if it will work in Word 5.6.2.
    Creating Subtemplates
    1) Make sure you fill in the “Territory” field when creating Subtemplates. Otherwise there will be no way to import the Subtemplate into another Template. The Import command requires the Territory field to call it from other Templates. You will get a big Java error if you try to import a Subtemplate that does not have the Terriroty field populated.
    Importing Subtemplates
    1) Place the following syntax at the beginning of your XML Publisher template to import a subtemplate (in Oracle Applications)
    <?import:xdo://XDO.[Template Code Name].English.US?>
    Example: <?import:xdo://XDO.WC_SUBTEMPLATE_LOGOS.English.US?>
    2) Use the following commands to importing Subtemplates from local/network drives (outside of Oracle Applications):
    <?import:file:C:/Temp/WC Subtemplate - Logos.rtf?>
    <?import:file:L://Templates/WC Subtemplate - Logos.rtf?>
    <?import: file:///C:WorkChemical.xsl?>
    You can email me at [email protected] if you have further questions.
    Hope this helps!

  • XML Publisher template. Can't associate to a report

    Hi,
    I made a report with xml output. With it's output I define an rtf template and associate it to an XML Publisher template.
    When I execute this report, I try to choose the template to format the output to excel (in Options button), but lov is empty.
    This is not my first XML Publisher template an I never had this problem, but now I don't know what to do. Any idea?
    These are the steps I follow:
    1- Create a report and setup it on EBS with XML output
    2- Launch the report in EBS and obtain and XML file
    3- Create an RTF template with MS Word, XML Publisher plug-in and XML file
    4- In EBS, XML Publisher Administrator, create a data definition and a template.
    5- In System Administration/Requests I try to associate the template to the report in On Site Tab. The template's lov is empty
    Thanks to all

    Hi,
    It is also mentioned in (Note: 276691.1 - XML Publisher and Concurrent Manager Integration). Anyway, the OP has already provided the solution without referring to any document which should be easy for those who may encounter the same issue.
    Thanks,

  • I need help with XML Gallery Fade in out transition. somebody please help me :(

    I need help with XML Gallery Fade in out transition. somebody please help me
    I have my post dont want to duplicate it

    The problem doesn't lie with your feed, although it does contain an error - you have given a non-existent sub-category. You need to stick to the categories and sub-categories listed here:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html#categories
    Subscribing to your feed from the iTunes Store page work as such, but the episodes throw up an error message. The problem lies with your episode media files: you are trying to stream them. Pasting the URL into a browser produces a download (where it should play the file) of a small file which does not play and in fact is a text file containing (in the case of ep.2) this:
    [Reference]
    Ref1=http://stream.riverratdoc.com/RiverratDoc/episode2.mp3?MSWMExt=.asf
    Ref2=http://70.33.177.247:80/RiverratDoc/episode2.mp3?MSWMExt=.asf
    You must provide a direct link to the actual mp3 file. Streaming won't work. The test is that if you paste the URL of the media file (as given in the feed) into the address bar of a browser it should play the file.

  • I need Help with the dynamic link feature in CS3

    Hi I was wondering if anyone could help me with an issue I am having? I have the adobe cs3 master collection. Having watched tutorials on the dynamic link feature my version seems not to have the same options as those I have viewed. I wish to send my premiere video creation to encore using dynamic link, however when I click "file" and then "adobe dynamic link" the only options available are about "adobe after effects". I can export to encore however I am only alloowed to export one premiere sequence to one new encore file, I cannot create an encore file and import several premiere sequence into the same encore project. That means currently I can only have an encore creation with one premiere sequence in it, and I have no adobe dynamic link. Any help anyone could offer would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks very much for that guys but my premiere media encoder only lets me export as: MPEG1, MPEG1-VCD, MPEG2, MPEG2 blu-ray, MPEG2-DVD, MPEG2-SVCD, H.264, H.264 blu-ray, Adobe Flash Video, Quicktime, Real Media, Windows Media. Are any of these formats DV AVI?
    Am I to export my videos direct to encore or save them elsewhere (e.g desktop). It seems that I cannot export sequences from different premiere projects to the same encore project.
    Sorry if any of these questions seem obvious, I am just new to premiere and keen to do things right from the off.
    Many thanks again guys.

    Harm is correct.  For SD DVD, exporting as a DV AVI file from Pr will give you good results.  Encore's Automatic Transcoding will give you maximum quality for the available disc space.

  • XML Publisher Template Re-Generator

    What does the XML Publisher Template Re-Generator actually do? I'm having an issue where the AP Check layout is fine when I test locally on my pc, but when i run the check in the Oracle app, the check prints on the next page.

    Hi,
    It's for use when you upgrade your version of XMLP. When you load an rtf template via XMLP Admin it stores your original file and also converts it to XSL-FO. When you upgrade XMLP then the functionality changes and the XSL-FO it generates changes.
    The re-generate process rebuilds the XSL-FO for all the templates loaded into the database.
    I think I read somewhere that in 5.6.3 this is run as part of the patching process.
    Regards
    Paul
