How to open a form from Oracle XML Report .xls Output?

Hi All,
We have a requirement wherein we have one complex SQL query, requirement is to fetch the data from that query and show it to the user. So far, so good. We can either create a report thru' UTL file to show the output to the user or can create a XML report whose output can be in the excel format.
Now user wants to have a hyperlink i.e. when he clicks the BSA (Blanket Sales Agreement) from the report output, it should be able to route him to BSA screen (oracle form), so that he can directly correct the issue with that corresponding BSA on which he clicked.
i.e. requirement is to create a a hyperlink from report output which will route the user to that oracle form with the BSA queried.
Not sure how can we implement this. If anybody has come across this type of requirement, please share your ideas and the approach used so as to accomplish this. Any inputs on this will be highly appreciated.
Cheers!

Hello Sumir,
we create reports in an XML format using http://matzberger.de/oracle/spreadsheet-en.html.
Within these files you can create hyperlinks to a forms application like
http://<applicationserver>/forms/frmservlet?config=xy&p_autoinit_module=ab&p_autoinit_arg=123
With these parameters we call a default forms module (welcome screen) and then start module ab and execute a query for 123. The user then can directly access the data he needs.

How can I extract the code behind ORACLE XML reports?

Afternoon All.
I need to customise a copy of one of ORACLE's XML reports. (Uninvoiced Receipts Report - CSTACREP - PL/SQL Stored Procedure)
I therefore need to work on the data template behind the original report... But how do I get at it? Where is it? Is it in a cetain directory somewhere because you can't download it via the application.
Many many thanks for looking.

The problem I have is that I only know 11i (and now moving to r12.1.3) report delopment via rdf report style and/or xsl data templates and have no idea how I can take this code in order to create a custom version of it.
Is there a Note/link somewhere that can tame me through the custom report method using PL/SQL procedures?
Many, many thanks.

There are many examples/docs/tutorials available, just google "XML Report Custom pls/sql" and you should get many hits.

Oracle XML Report Completes in Warning

Hi,
I have a report which has a column called Days Left which needs to be highlighted if the Days Left value is 3 or less than 3.
I have written the following code.
<?if:DAYS_LEFT<=3?><?if:CLOSE_FLAG='N'?><xsl:attribute xdofo:ctx="block" name="background-color">red</xsl:attribute><?end if?><?end if?>
But the report completes in Warning and gives no output.
Then I modified the code to :
<?if:DAYS_LEFT<='3'?><?if:CLOSE_FLAG='N'?><xsl:attribute xdofo:ctx="block" name="background-color">red</xsl:attribute><?end if?><?end if?>
then the report completes in Normal and gives output, but the Days Left are highlighted for Days Left values more than 3 also..
Please help me resolve this as soon as possible.
We have UAT lined up next week :(

Problem calling XML Report Publisher from Oracle Reports

Hi,
I'm facing a problem in calling XML Report Publisher from Oracle Reports.
Basically, I'm trying to customise Dunning Letter program. The program which is submitted calls another program. I have customised the second program and added a call to a stored procedure which in turn calls XML Report Publisher.I have created a template and attached it to the second program as well.
The procedure code is as follows.
v_request_id := FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST(application => 'AR'
,program => 'ARDLP_NON_SRS'
,description => 'Dunning Letter Print from Dunning Letter Generate'
,sub_request => FALSE
l_status := fnd_concurrent.WAIT_FOR_REQUEST
( REQUEST_ID => v_request_id,
INTERVAL => 15,
MAX_WAIT => 180,
PHASE => l_phase,
STATUS => l_status_code,
DEV_PHASE => l_dev_phase,
DEV_STATUS => l_dev_status,
MESSAGE => l_message );
v_xml_req_id := FND_REQUEST.submit_request(application => 'XDO',
program => 'XDOREPPB',
          argument1 => v_request_id,
argument2 => 'FLS DE AR Dunning Letter Print - German',
argument3 => 603, -- changed 665 -- was 551,
argument4     => NULL,
argument5 => 'N',
argument6     => 'RTF',
          argument7     => 'PDF');
Now, there are two problems I'm facing...
1. when the second program('Dunning Letter Print from Dunning Letter Generate') gets called it executes this procedure ... logically the 'Dunning Letter Print from Dunning Letter Generate' should get called twice ... second time from the procedure. Its getting called multiple times .. as many as 15 - 20 times.
2. The Xml Report Publisher program ultimately gets called but its erroring out with the following error:
java.sql.SQLException: No corresponding LOB data found :SELECT L.FILE_DATA FILE_DATA, DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH(L.FILE_DATA) FILE_LENGTH, L.LANGUAGE LANGUAGE, L.TERRITORY TERRITORY, B.DEFAULT_LANGUAGE DEFAULT_LANGUAGE, B.DEFAULT_TERRITORY DEFAULT_TERRITORY,B.TEMPLATE_TYPE_CODE TEMPLATE_TYPE_CODE, B.USE_ALIAS_TABLE USE_ALIAS_TABLE, B.START_DATE START_DATE, B.END_DATE END_DATE, B.TEMPLATE_STATUS TEMPLATE_STATUS, B.USE_ALIAS_TABLE USE_ALIAS_TABLE, B.DS_APP_SHORT_NAME DS_APP_SHORT_NAME, B.DATA_SOURCE_CODE DATA_SOURCE_CODE, L.LOB_TYPE LOB_TYPE FROM XDO_LOBS L, XDO_TEMPLATES_B B WHERE (L.LOB_TYPE = 'TEMPLATE' OR L.LOB_TYPE = 'MLS_TEMPLATE') AND L.APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME= :1 AND L.LOB_CODE = :2 AND L.APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME = B.APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME AND L.LOB_CODE = B.TEMPLATE_CODE AND ( (L.LANGUAGE = :3 AND L.TERRITORY = :4 ) OR (L.LANGUAGE = :5 AND L.TERRITORY = :6) OR (L.LANGUAGE= B.DEFAULT_LANGUAGE AND L.TERRITORY= B.DEFAULT_TERRITORY ) )
I have checked from database that the XDO_LOBS/ XDO_TEMPLATES_B table has corresponding registration data.
I don't know what's creating the problem.
If anyone has customised the Dunning Letter program before or having any idea about this problem, please help me out ..
Thanks

Oracle Matrix Report output to XML Publisher

We have an Oracle matrix report (rdf) registered in our applications and we are trying to format the report output using XML publisher.
I have taken XML output of the report by changing the Report output to XML in concurrent program definition. Using this XML output we have started designing the RTF template using Template Builder for Word 5.6.2.
I am not able to get the MAtrix output in XML publisher. I am not sure how to design a Matrix Report using Template builder for word. I am not sure whether the XML output of Original Report has Tags mentioning Matrix report attributes or Not.
Can anyone help me by explaining how to design a Matrix Report template using XML report output. Appreicate your help.

I have posted a Blog on our blog site about how to create a matrix report in XML-Publisher
http://technology.amis.nl/blog/?p=1558
Perhaps this helps.

Unable to open XML report in Oracle EBS r12

Hi,
I have new installation of Oracle EBS r12 (12.1.1) on linux.
To test the XML report, I changed the output of standard report 'Active Users' from 'Text' to 'XML' and defined the data definition and template for this report.
I am unable to see the output for XML reports. The report completes without error, however I cannot open the output file.
The browser opens for fraction of a second and then closes down. My client machine is Windows 7 and I used Microsoft words 2010 to build template
I used the 5.7.201 version of BI publisher to create the rtf template.
Please help me to resolve this issue.
Thanks

I changed the output of standard report 'Active Users' from 'Text' to 'XML' and defined the data definition and template for this report.
looks like xml publisher report, so output for concurrent must be 'XML'
******* I have changed the output of concurrent program 'Active Users' from 'Text' to 'XML'
I am unable to see the output for XML reports.
how you see it?
******* I tried to open the report by clicking on 'Output' button from view request screen of EBS.
did you try after concurrent completed check 'diagnostic -> view xml'?
******* I haven't tried this. Will do now.
The report completes without error, however I cannot open the output file
what is error?
******* There is no error, the request completed successfully. When I tried to open the output file by clicking 'output' button, the browser doesn't open.
did you check OPP log?
******* There is nothing in the OPP log.
if concurrent failed so first of all check your code - data template and package (if used)
******* I used the standard EBS report 'Active Users' and just changed the output from 'Text' to 'XML' and attached the rtf template.

How to run an XML Report from Oracle Forms 10G

Hello Friends,
I am in need of showing a xml report output through a button press trigger in Oracle Forms10G.
I have designed the report in XML Publisher and the report looks fine.I found few scripts useful in running the Oracle Report from Oracle forms10G like Run_Report_Object.But I am not aware of any script that could run a XML report and show the output directly from a Form.
All I want is to run a XML report from an Oracle Form with a button press trigger and show the output in an html version.
Can this be achieved?
If so, Kindly advise as this is an immediate work.
Regards,
Badrul.

Hi,
If I am not wrong the XML publisher is same as BI publisher ...
There is one document which explains how to integrate using web service

XML Report in Arabic login in Oracle apps

Hi,
I have created a XML report in Oracle apps, the data is coming properly from english login.
But when we login from Arabic Login then report does not show any data.
The data does not come even after hard coding the values.
Any clue for the issue..
Below is the main query in the report.
SELECT
PAC1.PAYROLL_ID ,
PAC1.PAYROLL_ACTION_ID ,
HR_PAYROLLS.DISPLAY_PERIOD_NAME(PAC1.PAYROLL_ACTION_ID) PERIOD_NAME,
PRO.PAYROLL_NAME
,TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'DD-MM-YYYY') REPORT_DATE1
FROM pay_payrolls_f pro,
pay_payroll_actions pac1
,PER_TIME_PERIODS_V V
WHERE pac1.payroll_id = pro.payroll_id (+)
AND pac1.effective_date BETWEEN pro.effective_start_date (+) AND pro.effective_end_date (+)
AND DECODE( PAC1.ACTION_TYPE, 'H', NVL(pay_payroll_actions_pkg.decode_cheque_type(pac1.business_group_id), HR_GENERAL.DECODE_LOOKUP('ACTION_TYPE', PAC1.ACTION_TYPE)), 'T', DECODE(instrb(PAC1.LEGISLATIVE_PARAMETERS,'SLA_MODE=Y'), 0, HR_GENERAL.DECODE_LOOKUP('TRANSFER_TO_LEDGER', 'GL'), NULL, HR_GENERAL.DECODE_LOOKUP('TRANSFER_TO_LEDGER', 'GL'), HR_GENERAL.DECODE_LOOKUP('TRANSFER_TO_LEDGER', 'SLA')) , HR_GENERAL.DECODE_LOOKUP('ACTION_TYPE', PAC1.ACTION_TYPE)) = 'Run'

AND PAC1.time_period_id = V.time_period_id
AND to_char(v.start_date,'MM-YYYY') = '01-2013'--:P_MONTH

in the next time use EBS related forums - https://forums.oracle.com/forums/category.jspa?categoryID=3
BTW
looks like that for Arabic language you haven't some data
in your main query you have PER_TIME_PERIODS_V which based on HR_LOOKUPS which depend on session language
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW HR_LOOKUPS
where FLV.LANGUAGE = userenv('LANG')
...so check data in HR_LOOKUPS for Arabic language
you can check it by query without PER_TIME_PERIODS_V
also you can modify your main query like
select t.PAYROLL_ID,
       t.PAYROLL_ACTION_ID,
       t.PERIOD_NAME,
       t.PAYROLL_NAME,
       t.REPORT_DATE1
from (SELECT PAC1.PAYROLL_ID,
               PAC1.PAYROLL_ACTION_ID,
               HR_PAYROLLS.DISPLAY_PERIOD_NAME(PAC1.PAYROLL_ACTION_ID) PERIOD_NAME,
               PRO.PAYROLL_NAME,
               TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'DD-MM-YYYY') REPORT_DATE1,
               PAC1.time_period_id
