Preview of Fixed Position Based eText template displays the formatting

Hi,
I am trying to create an EFT template using the eText Fixed Position Based instructions. I copied an existing Fixed Position Based template and made the changes that were needed. When I hit the Preview link, it displays the payments in the formatted template, not in the output that I'm trying to create by using the template.
Can anyone tell me what step I'm missing? I have created other types of templates and they preview fine.
Thanks

There is no difference between DELIMITER_BASED and FIXED_POSITION_BASED
you can pick up the fixed and convert it into delimiter based,
allowed columns are MaximumLength,Format,Data,Tag,Comments. delete the rest of the columns.
And for DELIMITER_BASED templates,After every data field row,you have to insert a delimiter row and put appropriate field delimiters in separate rows between the fields.

Anyone have an example of a delimiter-based eText template?

Would REALLLLY appreciate it. We are trying to get eText out of Bi Publisher and want a delimited format. I have only done fixed position.

can you please post an example for both - delimiter based and fixed position based. I am not able to process the output. You can mail at [email protected]

Etext templates using the API

HI All, I'm trying to create a Etext template using the API.
EFTProcessor processor = new EFTProcessor();
String template = TemplateLocator.getTemplateFullName(mergReq.getTemplateType(), mergReq.getTemplateName());
processor.setData(input);
processor.setTemplate(template);
processor.setOutput("c:\\test.txt");
processor.process();
This output looks like it creates the xsl and not the text file. Am I missing a step?
Any help would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks,

R12 Positive Pay eText Template with File Header/Trailer Records

A client for whom we are implementing R12.1.3 Positive Pay uses a bank which requires file header and trailer records in the file transmission. We used the standard IBYPOS_PAY_en.rtf template file and modified it to provide the additional, required detail. The new version of the template appears to be working exactly as needed when viewing the output from the template viewer. However, when positive pay is run through eBS there is no text output generated. The XML for report is being generated, as it can be pulled from both the concurrent request log file and the iby_trxn_documents table. Below is a snippet of the pertinent information from the log file:
After formatting length of the output - baos::0
After formatting, output is not null
Output type is eText, so logging the output below:

I faced this issue when I ran the program as a stand alone program. Please make sure that the Postive pay file is selected in the Payment Process profile which is used to make the payment. And submit the PPR and then run the positive pay from there(Payments Manager page) by selecting the check box.

How do I fix my macbook pro from displaying the wrong dates across the entire system?

Hello, for a while now my MacBook Pro has started to display the dates across the whole system weidly. The dates can go above 300/MM/YYYY. Is it the PRAM battery that could have run out or is it something else? Here is an example that I took today in the Calander application. As you can see it displays the 17 May, 2013 as 137 May 2013.
If there is a solution for this i would really want to know because this is starting to anoy me a little.
Here is an other example from skype
Edit: Ironicaly I found the solution right after posting this, no help is needed any more. Everything is fixed now

Have you looked at System Preferences>Date & Time?
Ciao.

POSITION command ignored on eText template

Hi,
I'm building my first eText template (fixed position based) with a certain degree of success, but I cannot make XMLP respect the positions indicated in my template.
It seems that XMLP is considering the lenght of each field and then concatenates them one after the other (not even a space between them), ignoring the position that I indicated on the first column of the template (<POSITION> command).
Can you suggest me how to debug this problem?
Thanks!
Pablo

Hi,
Just in case anybody has the same problem, Oracle Support confirmed me that the POSITION column header has no effect on the output. It's just like the COMMENTS header.
XMLP UG is a little bit misleading regarding this, but that's how things are.
Cheers,
Pablo

Preview Etext template in XML Publisher Desktop (Template Builder)

Is there a way, or are there plans, to be able to preview an eText template using the template builder, in MS Word, like you can with PDF type templates. This is a great feature when creating PDF output and saves a lot of time. It would be great to be able to do the same for eText templates.
Cheers,
Dave

You can create a dummy data definition and dummy template(etext) in xml publisher admin responsibility.
For the Data definition , in the bottom if you scroll down you will see a link for upload preview xml data file.
After uploading the xml file access your template and you can see a preview icon.If you click it you will see a txt file popping up
thanks

How do i fix my desktop it is displayed off center to the left of the screen

how do i fix my desktop it is displaying the taskbar and desktop screen display to the left of the screen??? i have tried updating, sytem restore, changing screen display resolution,

kerchoo wrote: how do i fix my desktop it is displaying the taskbar and desktop screen display to the left of the screen??? i have tried updating, sytem restore, changing screen display resolution,
Hello kerchoo, Are you referring to the Taskbar of the entire desktop screen?
If it is the Taskbar, just left click on the Taskbar, hold down the mouse button, and drag the Taskbar to the bottom of the screen or any other location and release the mouse button.
If you are referring to the entire desktop screen, and you have already tried changing the resolution, you might take a look at the monitor screen adjustments on the monitor itself.
There should a button for a Menu, where you can navigate to move the screen from top to bottom, left to right and so forth.
You may also take a look in the Control Panel, Nvidia Control Panel, and in the Adjust Desktop Size and Position, check the box for Full-Screen. If you have an ATI video card and not an Nvidia, you would look for the ATI Control Panel.
Please let us know if this is not what you are experiencing.
Please click the White Kudos star on the left, to say thanks.

Date formats and etext templates

I have been working with etext templates in the last few days and am struggling with date conversion. My XML file has dates in the format DD-MON-YY and my output requires DDMMYYYY. It seems that the format conversion in etext template only works when the xml date is in the format YYYY-MM-DD. I thought I would convert the DD-MON-YY using a combination of TO_DATE and TO_CHAR but TO_CHAR doesn't seem to accept the date mask in etext templates. It looks like I will have to modify the original report unless someone has a way to achieve this in the template.
Thanks,
Dave

I had to change the report. You may be able to change the setup in the reports server to alter the default date format but I didn't want to do that in case it affected the output of any of the other reports that are being run. (N.B. I haven't tried this myself so not sure it can be done).
The change to the report is pretty simple, I just added a formula column that took a copy of the standard column in the report and used to_char to reformat the date. In my case I reformatted to YYYY-MM-DD so that I could use the template to change the format to the required style. This is just in case there is a later change in the output style so I won't have to modify the report again.
When the date in the XML is in the format YYYY-MM-DD the documented formatting options work (e.g. "Date , DDMMYYYY" would convert "2005-10-26" to "26102005").

It is possible to Display HTML Formatted Text?

Hi
This is what I want to accomplish:
I created a system and now I want to add a help button on each page. This button will open a popup window which will display the help of the current page. (This is done)
But now I want to display a formated text (plain or html) just like this example:
h2. Help
Page 20:
Description:
This page displays a list of users.
And don't like this other:
Help Page 20: Description: This page displays a list of users.
Thanks a lot!

This is still a problem...I'd like to add a bit to it.
The HTML Editor correctly places formatting tags around the text and the item is saved to the db (or whatever)...however, when displaying the formatted text on an apex generated page, and it doesn't matter what type of DISPLAY (saved, non-saved, escape, etc..) is being used, Apex places <SPAN class="display_only"> around the text in question which is apparently overriding the html tags, so the text displays in the CSS defaults regardless of the formatting used by the HTML Editor. The reason the formatted text displays correctly in a "report" is because this span doesn't exist.
I'd like to take the time to add a change request and request that item level classes are not buried within apex and the theme. It would be nice if they were displayed on the item, for example, so they could be easily removed or overrided...this span for example overrides even a TD level custom class because of it's placement, so there seems to be little or no way to override it.

Fix Cheque position in RTF Templates for AP Payments R12

Hi,
I created rtf template for check printing. I have to print invoices details first and after that check at the bottom of the page. I need to print invoices on the cheque page only when total invoice count < = 3 which I am able to control. I am facing issue when for 3 invoices the table height is variable, depends on invoice description this table size is changing. How I can give the fixed-height for invoice table or how I can specify exact place for check (at the bottom of each page )
Thanks
Mital

Hi Prakhar,
Please note the cheque is not an image its in a table.
Even if I fix a table using table positioning in the output it doesnot print at the fixed position which I have provided in my RTF.
Please let me know if you would want to see the sample XML Data and RTF that I have created which can be easier to debug.
Thanks for your help,
Mital

Displaying a widget (JPanlel) at fixed positions

Hi!
I have a form and I want to display a JPanel when I click on different widgets with its left-top corner at the mouse location. I think I can figure out how to get the mouse coordinates, but I don't know how to tell a JPanel to position itself at a fixed position.
Any suggestions?
Thank you,
Catalin

You can have two static varibles which can make a note of the x and y coordinates. wenver the user clicks on the frame you can create the panel and place it at the frame at the specified place.
setPosition will be useful in this context....

Template for Position Based Role Generation - Grouping of Transaction

Hi
We have almost 3500 Roles. They are all Role based / Transaction Based. We would like to shift it to Position Based Roles.
Is there any template or high level document which can give you the information regarding the grouping of transaction with respect to module vise like HR, SD, MM, PP etc..
It should narrow down further to give you info regarding the transactions with respect to the the standard postions provided by SAP which we can use it as a baseline and develop on that.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks and Regards
Arun

Hi,
please have a look at the standard SAP* roles. They are grouped by applicaiton and alos some are grouped by position. So this may be an entry point for you.

Standard report with fixed position.

Hello,
I have a page where i want the first report to have a fixed position.
I have 3 regions with reports, the first will only display product name and number, the next report will display sales. The last report is very long so I have to scroll quite a bit. That's why i want the first report with names to have a fixed position so i can see which product i'm looking at.
I have tried to make a copy of the standard report template, and in the before rows i have this code
<table class="t3standard" summary="Report" style="position:fixed;">
this didn't work
Is this a way of making changes to the report template? Is it possible to make theese kind of changes in the report template or du I have to go inside the CSS file to add position:fixed somewhere?
Anders

What browser(s) are you using? Win IE doesn't support fixed positioning :-(
How about setting a fixed height for the last report and making it scrollable using overflow: scroll? This would make the first 2 reports "fixed" by default...
