Print AP check (MICR) via XML Publisher

I will print AP check via XML Publisher 5.5. Our database is running on Linux.
I installed MICR FONT from Elfrin to my laptop so that I can create template on my laptop.
Should I install MICR font from the same company (Elfrin) onto database server? Or I can use the MICR font from any other company. What is the suggested MICR font (from which company) I should install on Linux?
Anyone has experience installing MICR on Linux? Any installation doc I can download?
Thanks.

Hi,
I am using Elfring fonts with XMLP 5.6. Since this is a truetype font, you can use it on the server as well. Please refer to the XML Publisher manual for details on how to install a font using XML Publisher Administrator responsibility.

Error when trying to run an FSG Report via XML Publisher...

hello.
Hope someone can help.
This is our first look into the benefits of XML Publisher in order convince Manager to start using it. Thing is, we really need to get both FSG reports and Dunning Letters working.
We've currently got XML Publisher 5.0.0 and BI Publisher Template Builder for Word v10.1.3.2.0
First up, FSG reports. Having followed this link here:
http://solutionbeacon.blogspot.com/2007/07/simple-tutorial-for-publishing-fsg.html
Ive managed to create a template based upon the basic FSG template supplied. I’ve follwed easy steps but on submitting the request against ANY [its what the notes said] FSG report the error messages from both the log and output files are given.. Those being..
Output file displayed the most productive error message:
DECLARE
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-06550: line 133, column 8:
PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'SUBMIT_XML_REQUEST'
ORA-06550: line 133, column 5:

Can anyone help please? Or perhaps suggest an alternative to running FSG reports through XML Publisher.
Other thought was, do I need any different versions and/or Publisher Enterprise installing?
Many thanks for reading this..

Printing issue with pdftops for XML publisher reports.

Hi All,
We have recently upgraded from 11.5.10 to R12.1.3.
We are facing a strange issue for some of the seeded reports that were converted to type XML after R12 upgrade.
First, the reports were printed with junk / xml character while submitting the requests from application (e.g. Account Analysis Report)
We made the following changes.
- Added PDF Publisher style with required flag set to yes to the Account Analysis Report.
- Set proifle option "FND: Default Template Output Type" to PDF (it was blank)
- The pasta_pdf.cfg is configured to use pdftops for conversion
- Restarted the manager.
After this, the above report is priting fine and pdftops is converting it to correct format before printing.
But one of the printer that Oracle EBS is configured is getting stuck specifically for this postscript based request. The same report prints well on another printer.
The 'lpstat -t' shows the following status for the failing printer.
=============
printer PRT1 is idle. enabled since Tue 23 Jul 2013 03:24:40 PM EDT
/usr/lib/cups/filter/pstoraster failed
=============
The printer queue logs on the application servers shows the following details for the failing printer.
=========================================

The printer that works fine on the same application server has the following message.

I [22/Jul/2013:15:16:44 -0400] [Job 139] Completed successfully.
==============
It only goes through 2 filters and prints just fine
The system admin team has tried to re-install the printer driver but no luck.
Any idea what could be the cause and how can fix it?
Any pointers will be highly appreciated.
Thanks
Sunil Bhavsar

Thanks Hussein.
I will check the 2 options you recommended. At the same, I would like to test the direct print from the OS using pdftops utility. But not sure how can I do that?
The concurrent request creates the .tmp file under APPLTMP and pass that as the parameter while printing such requests. But if we need to test the .PDF output using pdftops directly, what should be the syntax? Or I would say, what should be the input file and output file?
e.g.
pdftops {infile} {outfile}
I have got the .PDF output under $APPLCSF/$APPLOUT. But from one of the failed request logs, I see the system passes both as .tmp. If we need to test this directly, is there any way?
In the meantime, I will check the debug logs option and update if it provides any additional information.

Sunil

XML PUBLISHER Questions

Hi All,
Following questions restrict to use of functionalities of XMLP:
1. What could be functionality of Delivery manager of XMLP?
2. How could process Delivery manager an user request?
3. Delivery manager is full of Java API’s that means apps developer must know java. Am I correct? If it is Yes, what are java concepts need know so that developer can do his job successfully?
4. What could be sub-template concept in XMLP? Please give one practical scenario.
5. One scenario: I want generate group of invoices in PDF format and each invoice must generate in fresh page.
XML Input to Template: Report output (output format in XML)
Input parameters: Customer or Print date (i.e. all invoices of specified customer should populate)
I could not able to generate each invoice in fresh page. Is it possible through XMLP?
6. XSL: is language and used for transformation i.e. one form document to another form document (xml =>XHTML) am I correct?
7. When do we go for XSL implementation in XMLP? Please provide example.
8. Where do we write XSL code in template? Assume template I am using RTF form field method.
Any help would appreciate.
Thanks,
[email protected]
Date: 13-Aug-07.
Hi All,
What could be the difference between delivery manager and Document Processor engine?
Could we use both for deliver XMLP documents to different Delivery channels?
Thanks,

Converting Oracle Reports to XML Publisher

Hello,
I've been trying to convert my Oracle Reports to use XML Publisher templates and make the canned reports more visually appealing. I've been following the steps described in note 295409.1 on metalink to change OR output to XML and calling the XMLP Engine to apply the template.
However I'm encountering errors when XMLP is calling the template. In order to jump start my template development, I've used the utility in Release 12 to change the RDF file into the PL/SQL packages and RTF template. Then I am attempting to reengineer these templates back into 11.5.10 and uploading them via XML Publisher Administrator. I am experiencing the errors described in the following forum thread:
XML Publisher error..urgent
I've located the problem within the template itself, but is this because of the conversion utility in release 12 (XML Version 5.6.3) is not compatible with our current XMLP version of 5.6.2 in 11i?
Any assistance would be helpful.
Thanks!
Ellen

This could have something to do with the fact that your printer is not set up correctly. Can you run a plain text (OReports) file output to the same printer? If not, then the printer is not set up in FND correctly. If you can ...
Remeber that unless you have a more modern printer that can handle PDF documents natively then XMLPs PDF is going to need to be converted to PS or PCL. I would suggest you investigate the PASTA printer driver and get that set up. It provides the ability to call a program pdf2ps for instance, to convert the PDF to PS. There is a bunch of info on metalink

Creating a template in Financials for using with XML Publisher..

to whom..
I hope someone can help please. I'm trying this process for the first time so please bear with me..
Ive got everything in place for producing PDF reports via XML Publisher through ORACLE Financials but I'm stuck on the last
part.
According to the notes (Publishing Concurrent Requests with XML Publisher - An Oracle White Paper Jan 2005) I've come
across, I need to update the concurrent program definition with a default template (when you submit a request, its in the
'upon completion' last section where theres an option to change or enter a template layout) yet this section is GREYED OUT.
Now according to my notes, to create a template you..
"Setting a Default Template....to select a default template in the Update Concurrent Program page available from the System Administration
responsibility (Note that this field is available only from System Administration. It is not available from the System
Administrator Forms interface)......."
My query is, where is this 'Update Concurrent Program page'..?
Thanks In Advance..
Steven
Edited by: user554089 on Sep 16, 2008 4:02 AM

OK, so now I've found out how to 'default a template for EBS 11i' (System Administration > Concurrent > Programs - notice its Administration not Administrator)... but its unavailable.. in the the 'OnSite Setting' tab there was no box visible for me to enter a template filename. Does anybody know why this could be?
thanks,

XML publisher with jdeveloper

Hi all,
I'm wondering if there is an API of XML Publisher for using with jdeveloper for development a reporting system. After I have run queries in database, I want to present tuples in a formatted fashion in PDF, RTF document etc. There are open source facilities like jasper reports etc, if XML publisher facilitates my reporting part of my system, I want to plan reporting development via XML Publisher!
So, How I can integrate XML Publisher with jdeveloper? Is there any API documentation?
best regards...
--barisk

XML Publisher ships with 2 XDK parsers a 9i version for backward compatibility and 10g version - you can switch at runtim using the properties. However, you have to make sure that the XML Publisher versions of the libraries are used and not the ones coming with i.e. jdeveloper version or oc4j version that you are using. You should use the version shipped with XML Publisher, because these versions are thoroughly tested with XML Publisher.
See the deployment notes in the install document:
Oracle OC4J Deployment Notes
The version of the XML Parser shipped with Oracle OC4J is incompatible with XML Publisher. When you create an XML Publisher application for OC4J you need to configure the system to use the XML Publisher version of the XML Parser. This can be accomplished by setting an orion-web.xml configuration file with the following content:
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'windows-1252'?>
<orion-web-app>
<web-app-class-loader search-local-classes-first="true" />
</orion-web-app>

Printing check signatures through crystal / xml publisher

We have our signatures burned into a SIMM on the printer. The signatures get activated by an escape sequence. Is there a way of sending these escape sequences via crystal.
On another note has anyone printed checks using xml publisher using the aforementioned escape sequences.

Template is not attached to AP Check Printing report (XML Publisher)

Hi Guru,
I have implemented XML publisher version of AP check Print report and did all the setups. When we make the payment in payables it automatically submits check print report. The report is completed successfully, but no output.
When I check View details button noticed that template layout is not attached to the report.
Please do the needful.
Thank in Advance,
Venkat.

Hi,
The following are the Instance details
OS : OEL5
Database: 11g
EBS : 11.5.10.2
I have completed all the setups for the report and I am able to see the template attached to the request for other reports where we submit them in SRS window.
But "AP check Print report" submits automatically through the form while making the payment against supplier in AP.
Thanks in Advance,
