Issue in BI Publisher when migrating oracle report RDF to BI Publisher

Hi, I am migrating Oracle RDF report to BI Publisher while migrating this report I am facing problem in viewing data as per my report requirement
I want my department Name should be my HEADER and all projects of department should display under it.
for that according to me I should get XML data like this
<dept1>
<project1></project1>
<project2></project2>
<project3></project3>
</dept1>
for some nodes I am getting this expected result but for many node it is giving me result like
<dept2>
<project1></project1>
</dept2>
<dept2>
<project2></project2>
</dept2>
because of this i could not able to see data in required format for some department.
may be Order by is not working in Q_Expenditure

Emulating Oracle Applications Environment in BI Publisher Enterprise Server

Hi there,
I think I know what the answer is going to be to this post but for reasons outwith my control I'm trying to understand if there is a workaround to achieve the resultant report output I require.
Background
Oracle E-Business on Demand 11.5.10.2
Oracle BI Publisher 10.1.3.2
My client has Oracle E-Biz on Demand but rather than utilising the integrated XML Publisher engine they have gone down the path of installing BI Publisher Standalone Enterprise Server for their report generation.
Now this works to an extent but I am experiencing problems trying to emulate the setting of an Apps context when I run a report so that I can utilise the Apps security within the Stanalone Enterprise Server. Is this even possible?
Example, basing a data model on PO_VENDOR_SITES (multi-org view) returns 0 (zero) rows but basing it on PO_VENDOR_SITES_ALL returns all rows (for all Orgs).
I can hear you all now yelling, "Use the Oracle Applications XML Publisher" version but in this "On Demand" arena that practice hasn't been adopted so i am raising this post in the hope that someone may be able to suggest a workaround or solution.
Actually, no BI Publisher security model has been adopted and all users use the GUEST account to run reports.
All comments and suggestions are appreciated :-)
Kind Regards,
Gary.

Gary, create a data template and call your own db function to initialise these. The beforeReport trigger will fire and set the enviro prior to the query being executed (as in Reports) Something like this below:
<dataTemplate name="BasicQueryDT" description="Simple query data template" defaultPackage="xxbi_setenviro">
     <dataQuery>
          <sqlStatement name="basicQuery">
               <![CDATA[
select max(last_update_date) today from apps.pa_projects_v]]>
          </sqlStatement>
     </dataQuery>
     <dataTrigger name="beforeReport" source="xxbi_setenviro.before_rep"/>
     <dataStructure>
          <group name="G_Main" source="basicQuery">
               <element name="TheDate" value="today"/>
          </group>
     </dataStructure>
</dataTemplate>

Printing Arabic text in Oracle Application(R12i) using XML Publisher.

Hi,
I am using Oracle Application R12i version with Oracle database as 10g, base language as English and installed language as Arabic.
I am trying to print the data which is there in English/Arabic in Oracle Application(using XML Publisher).
I've created a rdf using Report Builder 10g and registered as concurrent program (XML as Output format). There after i executed the concurrent program and generated the XML file.
Based on the XML file, i created a rtf file using XML Desktop(in Ms word) and register the same rtf file in XML Publisher Administrator for creating the XML definition and Template and Output as PDF.
After creating a XML template, when i executed the Concurrent program, english text is shown in english but arabic text is shown some ascii characters like Question Mark(up side down).
Could anyone please let us know the steps for doing the same or plz let us know are we missing any step.
Quiet urgent.

Sample Service - Account Detail (2.0) is not meant to be published to OSR as it is not a WSDL service.
If you want to publish services to OSR, you would first need to use the OER Harvester to create the services in OER.

Hello, Ken
Maybe you can give me some directions about Oracle BI publisher 11g installation for Apex 4.0 with Database 11g (using Configuring the Embedded PL/SQL Gateway) on 64 bit Windows 2008. The document number E10539-01 is very confusing to me. BI publisher v10.1.3.4.1 is much simpler.

Layout issue while trying Migrate Oracle Report to XML publisher Reports

Hi
I am trying to Convert Seeded Oracle Reports (rdf) to BI Publisher reports, in doing so encounter layout issues. The layout of the RTF , PDF or HTML generated by BI Publisher is different form the text, PDF or HTML outputs generated by the concurrent report. The problem with the BI Publisher template and out put
Is, the lay out is getting distorted .
Steps to archive the migration :
-     download the rdf from the server to local m/c.
-     execute Forms 9i Util rwconverter to generate a xml
-     use the oracle.apps.xdo.rdfparser.RTFTemplateGenerator API to generate a RTF template of the report layout
-     Then use this template to generate a XSL via oracle.apps.xdo.template.RTFProcessor API
-     The Apply the XSL on the XML data output of the report using oracle.apps.xdo.template.FOProcessor to generate RTF , PDF & HTML files.
Name of the Report used for migration “FSG - Report Detail Listing” , responsibility GL super User. This was just a random report we picked-up for trial.
The layout of these files seems to distorted than the layout of the original report output as generated by the rdf report.
Pls suggest some means to resolve this or any pointers towards what causing this could be of help.
-     Shudipto

The process of "converting" an old Oracle Reports rdf into a BIP report is more akin to writing a brand new report in BIP than to what most people would consider a true conversion.
The conversion routine outlined by Oracle just gives you a starting point for converting RDF layouts into BIP, and nothing more. In regards to the data define it does somewhat better generating your queries and XML layout (but honestly, that is the easy part), but even for the data define it will lose your formula columns as well as report triggers.
I have used the converter on several dozen rdf files and I have yet to see one that is better than 10-20% ready for use after the conversion process.
I would strongly suggest that you only convert the reports that you have to convert (for enhancements, modifications, etc). If it ain't broke in old Oracle Reports, dont' try to fix it in BIP.

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
