Please help regarding XML Publisher Output

Hi,
I have bugs in my XML Template, please can any one help me to correct the template which i have designed.
Regards
Prabu

Hi Prabhu:
Did you try using the Template Viewer? (remember to change the Debug log level to Maximum).
If you are using Word then you can try validation, although it failed to tell me errors at times (bug in deleting the cache?)
Usually you will be able to find out. If it neither of these works, I normally fall back to the tried and tested method; Start afresh, add one complexity at a time and test it.

Help in XML Report output

Hi Experts,
I have created the XML report which will generate the output in EXCEL format. I have used the template(rtf) to generate the output. I am facing the critical issue the output file (excel) is giving output with headings( ex: empno,ename,job..)even if there is no record count in the query.
But some times it gives the empty file(excel) without the heading information if the record count is zero.
Could anyone suggest me to solve this error.
Any solution or link will be great help for me. Waiting for your valueable reply
Thanks in Advance,

Problem to display a negative number in XML Publisher output in excel

Hi All,
I am facing problem in displaying a negative number in XML Publisher output in excel.
My requirement is that I have to display a negative number in brackets when the output is taken in excel format. Eg: If the value is -123 then i have to display it as (123).
I have put these brackets using a formula column in the RDF, but it is the default functionality of excel that whenever there is a number in brackets then it automatically displays that as a negative value.
Can anyone please help me how I can display this negative number within brackets and not as a negative digit. Is there any special tag or is there any formula which can be used to convert this into text and written in the Help text of RTF template.
This is very urgent. If someone knows please reply asap.

Please help! XML output needed for OBIEE report.

Hi,
I need an xml output of the OBIEE report. I have tried extrating the xml result using GO url but the xml format is not satisfactory. The default output assigns C0,C1..column names to each column data while on the other hand I need the name of the column and not C0 or C1.
Hence, can anyone please suggest as to how can I format the OBIEE xml output internally i.e. without doing it manually.
Please let me know if more explanation is required.
Thanks in advance!!

Hi,
Thanks for the response but unfortunately Bi Publisher is even not giving the required output.
The output of Bi Publisher is like
<_170627_>170627</_170627_>
<_TRADES_._TRADE_ID_>2996</_TRADES_._TRADE_ID_>
<_FALSE_>FALSE</_FALSE_>
<_N_>N</_N_>
<_170627_>170627</_170627_>
<_R_>R</_R_>
and the output of OBIEE is
<C0>170627</C0>
<C1>2996</C1>
<C2>FALSE</C2>
<C3>N</C3>
<C4>170627</C4>
<C5>R</C5>
<C8>B</C8>
In both the cases I get leading and trailing tags which are not required. Ideally according to the requirement C0 should have been Trade ID, C2 - Cancellation option and so on.
The BI Publisher does give the output to some ectent but lans up capturing the table name also as u see it is Trades.Trades Id. I even reuire few extra tags which caary report information and this data is not being pulled from database.
Hence please help!! I am really very much confused!!
Thanks!!!

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

Printing Barocdes on XML Publisher output

Hii,
My requirement is to print the barcodes for few fields in the output. We have developed the report in XML Publisher 5.6.3. As per Oracle i need to create a Class file and then Call that Class file from Template. I am done with the Class file with the help of example Oracle has provided in the user guide. But how can i call it from Template?
Following statement is mentioned in the user guide:
Use the following syntax in a form field in your template to register the barcode encoding class:
<?register-barcode-vendor:java_class_name;barcode_vendor_id?>
This command requires a Java class name (this will carry out the encoding) and a barcode vendor ID as defined by the class. This command must be placed in the template before the commands to encode the data in the template. For example: <?register-barcode-vendor:'oracle.apps.xdo.template.rtf.util.barcoder.BarcodeUtil';'XMLPBarVendor'?>
where oracle.apps.xdo.template.rtf.util.barcoder.BarcodeUtil is the Java class and XMLPBarVendor is the vendor ID that is defined by the class.
And then for encoding need to use <?format-barcode:data;'barcode_type';'barcode_vendor_id'?> command.
My doubt is where will i mention the above 2 commands in RTF template? The 2nd command (<?format-barcode:data;'barcode_type';'barcode_vendor_id'?>) can be mentioned in the field that need to be barcoded, but where should i put the 1st command?
Oracle has also mentioned that" "Many font vendors offer the code with their fonts to carry out the formatting; these must be incorporated as methods into a class that is available to the XML Publisher formatting libraries at runtime." can you please clarify what exactly do i need to do this?
Please help. It is urgent.
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
AS

The first issue to resolve is which barcode type do you want to use? - not all require encoding. If you are using code 39 (3 of 9) then you can just put the barcode fone in the report and it will output correctly.
I am also trying to acieve this, but am struggling with trying to get the java classes compiled on the PC for testing.
On the locations for the commands in the template, Tim dexter's blog has an example in a link on this entry: http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/2006/06/28/
Where did you find the details on the class file in the user guide? I have been struggling with the same thing.

XML publisher output report in excel format

Hi
I have created reports using XML Publisher, the default output preview format was PDF. While submitting the program, in the layout, I changed the format to EXCEL,it give me output in Excel. Now I need to send the output report as an attachment through e-mail.For this I have used a UNIX shell script to send the mail using uuencode and mailx commands.
I have fetched the name of the report from table using the following command.
SELECT file_name
FROM FND_CONC_REQ_OUTPUTS
WHERE FCR.CONCURRENT_REQUEST_ID = p_req_id;
The name of the report is : XXBG_PO_IFACE_SO_RPT_8556321_1.EXCEL
Following is the command to send the e-mail.
(cat $MAIL_BODY; uuencode XXBG_PO_IFACE_SO_RPT_8556321_1.EXCEL XXBG_PO_RPT.xls) | mailx -m -s "$MAIL_SUBJECT" $mail_id
I am receiving the mail with the attachement, but when i am trying to open the attachement it is throwing an error and nothing is displayed in the excel sheet.
Note: When I am sending the mail,in similar way, with 'PDF' attachement it is perfectly fine and the attachement is opening correctly.
Please help me.
Thanks in advance,
Madhu kumar

Hi schavali,
The error message is as follows
Microsoft Office Excel cannot access the file "https://xxxxxxx/Inbox/XXBG_PO_RPT.xls.
There are several possible reasons:
--The file path doesnot exist.
--The file is being used by another program.
--The workbook you are trying to save has the same name as a currently open workbook.
After throwing the error, it open s a balck excel sheet.
Hi hsawwan,
I have gone through the thread. I am able to see the report when I click the output tab on the concurrent request screen.
But the problem is, when I am sending the output report as an excel attachment then I am facing the problem.
There might be some problem with uuenocde or mailx command.
Thanks
Madhu Kumar.

XML Publisher Output in different forrmat

Hi,
Any help with the below problem would be highly helpful.
I have an xml data file which has the folloing looping structure:
-<G_REPORT>
-<G_HEADER>
<NAME>xyz</NAME>
<ADDR1>111</ADDR1>
</G_HEADER>
-<G_LINE>
<LINE_NUM>1</LINE_NUM>
<TRX_NUM>11<TRX_NUM>
</G_LINE>
-<G_LINE>
<LINE_NUM>2</LINE_NUM>
<TRX_NUM>22<TRX_NUM>
</G_LINE>
-<G_LINE>
<LINE_NUM>3</LINE_NUM>
<TRX_NUM>33<TRX_NUM>
</G_LINE>
</G_REPORT>
My template looks something like this:
=============================
Header:
Name: <?NAME?>
Addr1: <?ADDR1?>
<for each: G_LINE>
Line:
Line Number: <?LINE_NUM?>
Transaction: <?TRX_NUM?>
<end: for each>
=============================
The output is expected as below:
=============================
Name: XYZ
Addr1: 111
Line Number: 1
Transaction: 11
Line Number: 2
Transaction: 22
Line Number: 3
Transaction: 33
=============================
The header part is expected to print in a single page, Each line part is expected to print in a new page. Thus the above report should be printing in 4 different pages.
But my report prints the output with line 1 continuing soon after the header, line 2 continuing after the line 1 and line 3 continuing after line 2.
Please help me in printing each of these lines in a different page.

Two options:
1. If your motive is just to have a line break, then use <?split-by-page-break:?> before end for-each group
2. use for-each@section, if you want to reset page numbers/print group information in header/footer

XML Publisher output does not appear in Request Set

Hi,
I have created a request set in which i have this XML Publisher report when i run this report through concurrent program i can see the report output but when i run through request set i am not able to see the report output.
One thing i noticed the request set does'nt attach the template to the XML Publisher report.
would appreciate if any one can help out.
Thanks in Advance.

Not sure if this is same issue, but I know that the template does not attach to the request if you have not defined Territory for the template while entering the Language. It does not prompt any error but then creates problem during submission.

Please Help with XML input file

I created a flash swf with AS3 and i am loading the data via XML. I have a background that needs to load and I also created a box in which I can change the color via XML. I am have problems writing the XML code. Could someone please help. I'm brand new to this so I don't know if i'm even close. Here is the xml info i have so far. thanks
<data backgroundColor="0x202020" width="400" marginTop="150" marginBottom="150"><![CDATA[<p align="left">COPY GOES HERE<br><br></p>]]>
</data>
<backgrounds switchDelay="6000">
<image allowScaling="true">background_images/image1.jpg</image>
</backgrounds>

Yes, it is possible. Unfortunately I can't provide any specifics for an XML data file because we use the "field nominated" format.
Essentially, the data file contains data definition elements and references to the form(s) that the data gets applied to. With the field nominated data file (and an XML file is probably similar) there are two basic methods to do this. One, there is a form reference followed by all the field definitions that are to be applied to that form; then if there are other forms there would be another form reference followed by the fields for that form. Two, the data file would contain data field definitions as "global" fields and this would be followed by all of the form references that these global fields would be applied to; optionally, there would be form-specific field definitions following some of the form references.
In field nominated format this looks like:
^form form-1-name.mdf
^field name
George Jones
^field amount
1234.00
^field date
01/01/2000
^form form-2-name.mdf
^field regarding
Tammy Wynette
^field occupation
country music artist
or
^global name
George Jones
^global amount
1234.00
^global regarding
Tammy Wynette
^global occupation
country music artist
^form form-1-name.mdf
^field date
01/01/2000
^form form-2-name.mdf
As I stated, I don't know how this would look within an XML file but I'm sure the concept would be the same. For the first example there might be a form reference followed by all the associated field definitions. In the second example there would be the global field references followed by the form references with the optional imbedded field reference(s). Or, at least, something similar.
Perhaps someone that uses XML files will provide appropriate samples.

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?

Please help me if you know why it does not work

Hi,
Cisco Catalyst switches generally do not support output flow control - they never send PAUSE frames - so the message about the output flow control being unsupported is normal and expected.
Regarding the input flow control, this feature has to be advertised by the link partner during linkup and autonegotiation phase. In other words, the device connected to this port must itself advertise the ability to use flow control. If the input flow control is claimed to be off then it may be caused by the device connected to this port that does not advertise this capability. You should check its NIC settings and optionally try to shutdown/unshutdown the port to go over the autonegotiation again.
Please keep us informed!
Best regards,
Peter
