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.

Anybody who has used the commands (page suppression) provided by Tim in his blog? May I know from what version you have done it? The blog was posted back in 2007.

I had a similar error which when I searched, came up with this thread.
My issue was resolved after I discovered that my RTF template was not really RTF. It was sill in MS Word DOC format. This was discovered by reviewing two templates in NOTEPAD. The MS-DOC files have a lot of "special" characters in them. My RTF was not really RTF.
After doing a SAVE AS - RTF format, then the preview worked as expected.

XML Publisher Desktop 5.6.2 Installation Error

I down loaded the desktop version. when I install it, it pops up a dialog
"Word application is running. please close word application and retry installation"
then, it stops installation.
But I did not have word application open, only installation is running.
Is this a bug, or I am missing some thing?
Gary

Hello, I have a similar problem
I tried to install versions 5.5 and 5.6.2 of XML Publisher Desktop and I consistenly get an "unexpected error during configuration" at the end of the installation. The word process wasn't running while I was running the setup (and outlook neither).
This is the setup log, containing all the times I've tried to install it:

XML Publisher Desktop

How can I download and install the XML Publisher Desktop that I need for the WORD and Excel add-ins?
Edited by: laskowsj on Mar 17, 2011 12:20 PM

If you are Oracle user then I would highly recommend you that you get this
file from oracle support as it is the official source of information.
I can see there is a patch 5887917 which gives you BIP Desktop 10.1.3.2 which is compatible
with XMLP 5.6.3 plus additional functionality which are only applicable to the stand alone version
of BI Publisher and are not intended for use with Ebusiness Suite.
Good luck
Jorge
p.s. If this answers your question please grant the points and close this thread

XML Publisher Desktop Db connect SQL Server Host:Port:Sid

Brand new to XML Publisher. Set up XML Publisher Enterprise environment to work with SQL Server 2005 using both MS 2000 & 2005 JDBC drivers, so far no problem.
However the XML Publisher Desktop Report Wizard will not connect to SQL Server 2005 using either MS 2000 & 2005 JDBC drivers. I provide the same data source name, user and pw that I use in the XML Publisher Enterprise environment but it is the 4th piece of information - the database portion (Host:Port:Sid) that I am having trouble with. SID is an Oracle invention not used in the SQL Server world. I have tried various combinations of the database string without sucess.
Perhaps the XML Publisher Desktop does not work with SQL Server. Does anyone know how to use XML Publisher Desktop to create templates that will work with MS SQL Server?
Thank you.
BG...

Shaun,
Thanks for you comments. I belive I now have enough to use the HSGC-ODBC technique to make the template and then re-edit it to make it work with the original JDBC connection.
That said, "Using ODBC-JDBC bridge connection is really poor in performance." I, more than anyone on the planet am aware of this issue and more.
Being new to XMLPublisher I thought that having a JDBC connection to a SQL Server from XMLP Enterprise led me to beleive that the XMLP Desktop template creation tool would also work. "*** Pity the fool ***" for thinking that! (Thank-you Mr. T!!! <grin>).
Because I had to engage a 'heterogeneous connectivity" solution to this problem indicates that the product is half-baked. That's not to say that it is not capable.
Rushing software products to market quickly creates products that make the rest of us jump through hoops. I resent that!!! I have more import things to do than waste time!
I demand more of a trusted vendor, do you? I have tortured myself with Oracle products thinking they were ready since the early nineties.
Look we are in a "heterogeneous universe" and if the product pretends to work with "heterogeneous databases" on the Enterprise side than it damn well aught to work with them on the Desktop side. That's my opinion.
Attention OTN: I am back!!!
Justin, this needs to be fixed.
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

XML Publisher Desktop and Enterprise...?

Hello,
Apologies if I missed some obvious documentation or whatever... But..
I don't really understand how XML Publisher Enterprise and XML Publisher Desktop fit together.
Does Desktop require Enterprise? Are they more complimentary, or is Desktop more of a "Lite" version of Enterprise? - Can I run either one or both as needed or desired...?
Any info, thoughts, suggestions... Pointers to relevant docs... Or anything along that line would be very much appreciated.
Thanks!
Cheers

XMLP Enterprise is for running and distributing reports. It handles extracting data and then applying templates to your data to give it the correct look and feel.
XMLP Desktop is used to design your templates. So, for a given report, use the Desktop version to design your template and then upload it to XMLP Enterprise.
I would recommend reading this article: http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/rittman-xmlpub.html?rssid=rss_otn_articles

R12 XML Publisher desktop version

Hi,
I am searching for the XML Publisher desktop version for R12. Is there anyone know?
Thanks

Hi,
Yes this version of template builder is suitable for R12. I would recommend the your download the latest version though from http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/publishing/index.html.
The latest version is called :
BI Publisher Desktop 10.1.3.3.1 for Windows (131 MB)
The latest releases fixes a few bugs in the Template Builder Plug-in for MS Word.
As you are using EBS and not BI Publisher standalone, you will not be able to use the functionality to connect to the BI Publisher server, as this does not exist yet for EBS. For template development purposes, this version will do exactly the same job for BI Publisher with EBS and BI Publisher Standalone.
I hope this helps.

PeopleSoft XML Publisher Desktop installation issue

Hi,
I've tried to install the XML publisher desktop desing helper.
I've installed it without error. But when i open the Office word program, it didn't show up the Template Builder menu on office tool bar.
I've tried to do the following:
1. Set the trust center setting in word option, Marco is all enabled, and the VBA project is checked.
2. Close the Microsfot program, IE, Word, etc.
3. Close the MSN Messager program
4. Uninstall the MSN Live
5. Then I re-run the installation file of XMLp several times to re-install it.
After that, i still can not find any menu tool bar named "Templdate Builder" in word program.
During the installation, there's no error, the install process is smoothly ended, but in the word program there's no menu for Template Builder.
The version of Microsoft Word is 2007, and the version of XMLp Design helper for Word is 5.6.2, and the Java JRE version is 1.6.07.
Please help on figuring this!
Thanks,
Saxon SI

Hi:
Check for Add-Ins in Word Options. Make sure that TemplateBuilder.dot is active; and look for 'Add-Ins' menu on your document. XML Publisher menus will be visible on that tab.
Thanks and Regards,
Sameer.
