BI Publisher Desktop - MS Word giving error!!!

HI Experts,
I am following BI Publisher 'Getting started' article on Oracle site. In on of the step it asks to open BI Publisher report into MS word. When I did this it give an error.

Do I need to configure some parameters in MS word?? Please help me at this point.
Thanks in advance,
DK

I am going on the assumption that the report in Answers has some type of parameters. By parameters I mean that a prompt, server, or presenation variable is used to run the report in answers.
The word add on can not handle bi answers reports with parameters.
But you are in luck as uncle Danscan has already handled this problem. You won't find it explained anywhere else.
Step One: Create a non-parameterized version the BI Answers report. Basically hard code values in the report. And save that version of the report. Keep your orginal version as you will need that later.
Step Two: Link Publisher with the non-parameterized version of the report.
Step Three: Open word and load up the data as you would expect to do.
Step Four: Create the report template by adding in the table, fields, and other stuff. Once its is setup it is time to test it.
Step Five: Open BI Answers. ( I am assuming that both Publisher and Answers are loaded together in the Enterprise way. If you are unsure click on the more products link next to the Answers link in the BI Dashboard/Answers tool. Publisher should be available). Go to the dashboard that you want to run the publisher tool from. This should have the same prompt as the original BI Answers reports have. You will need these prompts in a second.
Step Six: Test the publisher report. If everything looks good we can move onto the final step. If not reopen word adjust, upload, test etc.
Step Seven: Go into publisher and change the Reports in the Data model to the versions with parameters. (At this point you can not open the online template again till the reports are switched back. You can do some fancy hacking to get it to work, but that is a trick for another post)
Step Eight: Open BI Answers/Dashboards and test your new publisher report out.
Step Nine: Question your sanity after all of these steps.
Good luck and I will offer any help I can.

Some RTF commands not working in Oracle XML Publisher Desktop 5.6.3

Hello,
I am using Oracle XML Publisher Desktop 5.6.3 (Patch 5887917) and seems like some of the RTF command are not working. I am following Tim Dexter's blog (http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/2007/10/here_are_my_terms_conditions.html ) and could not make the "new" commands from his blog, work in my template.
<?section:force-page-count;'end-on-even-layout'?> -- even with this on the template, I'm still getting output with odd total numpages
<?section:xdofo:blank-on;'even-skip-page-count'?> -- cannot suppress the NUMPAGES value of MS Word
Do I need to apply additional patch(es) on top of Patch 5887917 for the MS Word add-on? Could you please tell me what am I missing?
Thanks.

Oracle BI Publisher desktop - insert field does not make absolute path

Hello everyone,
I am using the Oracle BI Publisher desktop 11.1.1.5
Lets have the given demodata
<demodata>
     <person>
     <name>Peter</name>
     </person>
     <relative>
     <name>Mike</name>
     </relative>
</demodata>
As you can see the tag <name> is used as subchild in person, relative.
next i start winword 2007 using the bip-extension. There is a button 'insered field' that opens a window with the demodata tree.
When i pick person->relation->name there will be the expression <?name?> insered.
Thats my problem, i need the absolute path to be insered, in this case <?/demodata/relation/name?>
If the adressing is not absolute starting from the root the rendered Report will show 'Peter' as it is the first occurence of the <name> tag.
I have not find out where to configure the word-plugin to make absolute paths in fields.
Any ideas ?

Thank you for your answer
sure, it is possible to edit the fields by hand but my xml-structure is autogenerated (MDA-approach), nested and quiet complex. Manual tasks can lead to typing errors and sometimes i forget to edit one field afterwards.
It would be just very handy when the tool does the work for me, it has all the information anyway.
I wonder why am the first person that is having this request. In my opinion adressing starting from the root is clear and without ambiguity. In every field i can exactly read using the expression which element in the tree is used.
In conclusion, it would be nice if the plugin let the user decide whether to use the short or the long syntax
greetings,
martin.

Take a look at data templates. You can use the "BeforeReportTrigger" option using a PL/Sql function to accomplish this. Look at the Report Designers guide for information about datatemplates.

Oracle BI Publisher Desktop - What version of Java is supported

Hi,
I've just tried to install Oracle BI Publisher Desktop on a new machine only to be told that I need a JRE, I did not realise this was a requirement for a client machine. I've looked around the pages and cannot find a specific requirement for a JRE for the BI Publisher Desktop tool. So what is the minimum version of Java required for this tool? 1.5?
Thanks in advance.

Yes,
Get the latest one, too, it wont be a issue even if you get latest.

BI Publisher Desktop in Word 2010 - add-in active but no menu or toolbar

I have installed BI Publisher Desktop. In Word 2010, I can see the add-in is active.
But i do not see the familiar BI Publisher menu items or toolbar items. I am just getting used to Word2010 and the new ribbon toolbar concept. (I formerly used BI Publisher on Word 2003.)
So i don't think i'm blind... but I don't see the BI Publisher custom menu/toolbar items.
Has anyone experienced this? Anyone know what i have to do to get this working?

Again, it is not Oracle certified. This means you are on your own if you find product issues and Oracle Support
will not be able to help you (including notes or patches).
The fact that an Oracle product is not certified does not mean the product will not work (it may work as in the case of Perky) it simply means Oracle has not carried out a complete test of the product with the referred product version.
