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.

Printing on Pre-printed stationary from XML Publisher

Hi,
I have a requirement where a report is to be printed on pre-printed stationary from XML Publisher. The stationary would be NCR paper and has to be printed from a dot matrix printer.
My first question is whether report generated from XMLP can be printed thro'
dot matrix printer, coz as far as i know it takes only character format .If yes, do we need any special handling?
If anybody has any experience related to this problem, please let me know the approach.
Can mail me at [email protected]
Regards,
Satrajit

Hi Milind
I see what you've got.
It is not uncommon to use character mode output for pre-printed stationery.
This would appear as draft output from a Dot Matrix printer. I hope you understand what I mean here. It is somthing like printing using fixed width font.
Design and run the report with MODE=CHARACTER from the command line.
You need to figure out and design the layout in such a way that you are printing in the empty spaces provided in the pre-printed stationery. This is usually by trial and error method. You may probably blow several pre-printed stationery sheets before you get it right.

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.

Shruti

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 problem

i am getiing the output of .rtf file in .rtf only but i selected the pdf format. why it is happning

I am using the template builder and after that .rtf file I am attaching in XML Publisher Administration resoponsibility of oracle application. but when i am running this custom program to get pdf output which i selected as pdf format in xml publisher administration I am not getting the pdf output and getting the same .rtf output of design template only like column n there field no data.

EBS: Email XML publisher output, from After Report Trigger in Data Template

Here is what I'm trying to do:
-- In EBS (11.5.10 CU2), I'm using XML publisher (5.6.2) data template and layout template to generate Output files (PDF, EXCEL etc)
--In the Data Template's AfterReport Trigger, I'm using the Concurrent Request Id to locate the Output file name and trying to Email that output file.
Problem:
-- When the AfterReport trigger code is executed, the code is NOT seeing the output file and hence the file is NOT emailed.
Observations/Questions:
-- From what I observe, the Output Post Processor ( that generates the Excel / PDF files) is running AFTER the code in AfterReport trigger... and hence the AfterReport trigger is Not quite seeing / able to access the output file.
So, the sequence of execution seems to be:
-- Before Report Trigger
-- Data Query (SQL statement)
-- After Report Trigger
-- Output Post Processor
Because the AfterReport Trigger is running before the Output Post Processor, it is Not able to see the output file. Is that a True statement?
If Yes, how else can the DataTemplate access the Output file?
If No, what could cause the AfterReport trigger to not see the output file?

Because the AfterReport Trigger is running before the Output Post Processor, it is Not able to see the output file. Is that a True statement?
I believe so, as the OPP works on the output of the Report after the Report has completed execution.
You could use the same approach as we do for bursting the report to different users. Write a Java Concurrent program based on "oracle.apps.xdo.oa.cp. XMLPReportBurst" with delivery channel Email to send the email output. You would need to add code to launch the Concurrent child request in your AfterReport Trigger:
function AfterReport return boolean is
jreq_id number;
begin
srw.message (100, 'DEBUG: AfterReport_Trigger +');
jreq_id:= FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST ('XDO','XDOBURST','','',FALSE,:P_CONC_REQUEST_ID,'Y',chr(0),
If (jreq_id=0)
then
srw.message (100,'Request id is zero');
end if;

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.

If employee id is the same should not print on the xml publisher report

Hi Dear,
I met with one problem and needs some suggestion on the best approach on it. It is a xml publisher report.
We have multiple rows for the same employee , but for the same employee only the first row needs to print the emplid.
Do we need to write the if statement , how to get the value of the last row emplid ?
For example :
EMPLID EMP_RCD STATE
1001 0 CA
1 TX
Any suggestion is appreciated.
Thanks,
Dennis

I understand your requirement is as follows:
Requirement:_
The data is this ->
EMPLID COLUMN 1 COLUMN 2 COLUMN 3
EMPLID_01 DATA_01_01 DATA_02_01 DATA_03_01
EMPLID_01 DATA_01_02 DATA_02_02 DATA_03_02
EMPLID_01 DATA_01_03 DATA_02_03 DATA_03_03
EMPLID_02 DATA_01_04 DATA_02_04 DATA_03_04
And you need report in this format:
EMPLID_01 DATA_01_01 DATA_02_01 DATA_03_01
DATA_01_02 DATA_02_02 DATA_03_02
DATA_01_03 DATA_02_03 DATA_03_03
EMPLID_02 DATA_01_03 DATA_02_04 DATA_03_04
Solution:_
If my understanding is correct, then you can make use of variables
at start of template set the variable to 0
*<?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX,'PREV_EMPLID',0)?>*
at the end of each data row, reset the variable
*<?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX,'PREV_EMPLID',EMPLID)?>*
while printing emplid in that row use IF condition
*<?if:(xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX, 'PREV_EMPLID'))!=EMPLID?>*
The above If condition will print emplid on the row only when there is change in EMPLID, so effectively printing emplid only on the 1st row of data for each employee id.
Also, you need to ensure that you group by employee id before you print each row.
Let me know if this works for you.

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 to be emailed based on a customer

Hello,
I have to email the Oracle standard report - Print Selected Invoices, the requirement is, based on a particular cutomer, send an email to the corresponding email address. 1 PDF report output will have multiple invoices for multiple customers. For every customer the email add is different so an email has to be sent with the part of the output for the corresponding customer. How can this be achieved?
I saw the control file, but not sure if the control file can handle multiple email addresses and if we can put the restriction there. Please advise!!!
Thanks

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.
