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]

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.

Accessing Discoverer EUL from XML Publisher

Is there a way to use Oracle Discoverer's EUL from XML Publisher to build a report instead of creating a query directly?
I'm just thinking of providing the ability to build fancy reports using XML Publisher to the end user that Oracle Discoverer doesn't provide.
Thanks.

Hi,
I have the same issue with XML Publisher.
I made a directory under the xmlpserver\Reports called Guest.
When i sign in with guest(without password), i can see and launch
my report.
But when use directly this URL:
http://mycomputer:15101/xmlpserver/myreportdirectory/myreport.xdo
the browser open the sign in page.
Is there a mistake on the url or the configuration ?
Thanks a lot.

How to remove a font file and its mapping from XML Publisher Administrator

Hello,
I am trying to remove a font file and its mapping from the XML Publisher Administrator. If this is not possible, is there a way to disable it?
The reason why I am asking this is because we just got a new check printer, and I was able to print just fine. However, the MICR font was not coming up properly on the check, so I went ahead and configured the font with the XML Publisher Administrator. Now my check output is coming up blank after running the XML report publisher program. The only change I did was to upload the MICR font and mapped it.
My template and rdf report file are working fine in another environment we have, so I know that's not the problem.
Any help is appreciate it.
Thanks.

This is how you do it
Font
DELETE FROM xdo_lobs
where lob_code like '<Font_name>';
Font Mapping Set
DELETE FROM xdo_font_mapping_sets_TL
WHERE mapping_code like '<MAPPING_CODE>'

Creating pdf report from xml publisher report

Hi,
I'm newbie to xmlpublisher env.
We've a report in Oracle 11i developed in unix shell script and run as concurrent program generating check details which will be printed on checks.
I was asked to migrate this report into R12 in pdf format.They provided rtf template and xml data.I installed xml publisher desktop.I would like to know how I can create pdf template,if necessary changing the position of fields on the template.
Thanks,
Kiran

Hi Kiran,
Sorry to say, but no you can not use the desktop or standalone edition for integration with EBS.
In your case there are 2 alternatives for you:
1) Update the Unix shell script so it's ok for R12 (it did a good job for a long time on 11i)
2) Leave the unix script and redesign for BI Publisher (ebs edition)
Both are taking the same effort in my opinion, only since you moved to R12 it's a good learning moment to get to know the strength of BIP.
Since you task is to modify the standard Oracle solution, which i guess is an rtf template provided download the MS Word plugin and adjust the template
If any detail help needed please contact me directly

Printing on Pre Printed Stationery and Bursting Extra Lines

Hi,
I am new to BI Publisher. I have managed to build a RTF template to print a check on a pre printed stationery (For Oracle Apps). There are two issues I have:
1. The check I need to print has the invoice lines on top repeated twice and the actual check at the bottom. The isse is when i print multiple invoice lines and it exceeds the section allocated for invoice lines, it pushes content down and my alignment is destroyed. What i need to do is once a certain number of lines are printed it should print the balance lines in a different file and continue the check as usual. I figured that bursting may be an option but most of the stuff on the internet points to pushing the content through email when bursting. Is there anyway to achieve this.
2. When displaying output in columns I want to achieve this in a table not using word colums
<Invoices Section>
c1 c2
Invoice Num - Amount Invoice Num Amount
1 10 4 10
2 9 5 9
3 20 6 34
<end Invoices Section>
Extral lines after the end of this section should go into a differnt file
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hi user953712,
1. Check format should use fixed row enumeration matched to the number of remittance lines per stub setup on the Payment Document in EBS.
2. "not using word columns"? I'd be using a table in Word. Is this a text based format? If so consider ETEXT.
"should go into a different file"? Sounds like bursting or some other mechanism.

Gareth

Pre-populate PDF from XML data

I am looking into the feasibility of pre-populating a PDF form using an XML data file. The basic workflow I am investigating is this:
1. both the PDF form (built in LiveCycle Designer) and XML file would be stored together on a web server.
2. User would navigate to a web page containing a link to the PDF form, and click to open. The PDF form would open in their browser (using their installed PDF viewer plug in)
3. the PDF form would be (partially) populated by the data in the XML file automatically
4. User would fill out the unpopulated portion of the form, and save the resulting PDF to their computer.
Is this workflow feasible? What are the problem areas? I realize that the the PDF would have to be Reader Extended to allow the user to save it.
Many thanks for any and all help and direction.
Matt LL.

Hi Matt,
yes, this workflow is perfectly feasible, not really with solely a standard HTTP server though.
There are a variety of options. The issue is that the process of populating the form can usually not be done without any server-side application of logic.
- You could use LiveCycle Forms to achieve that. That'd also allow you to use other LC components later on easily , such as Reader Extensions, Process Management or DRM for your documents.
- You could use Adobe ColdFusion for pre-populating the form from XML, it's super easy (much more straightforward than LC imho). The downside is that CF doesn't have an option to Reader Extend the form for you. That being said, you could get Reader Extensions as a stand-alone module and use it's SOA APIs to hook into your CF code (ColdFusion is basically just an abstraction layer on top of Java).
Hope that helps to get an idea.
Cheers

Error message printing to Distiller (5.0) from MS Publisher 2003

I suddenly can't print from Publisher to Distiller. Using XP.
Error message reads: %%[ Error: invalidfileaccess; offending command: image ]%%
Files previously printing OK suddenly are not. Have had occasional success experimenting with printing individual pages but can't find a pattern. Tried re-saving images in smaller resolution but no help. Tried saving entire pages as smaller image but limited success and text looks fuzzy.
Any ideas?

I thought I had already answered but can't see it posted. This is my first time doing this. I will try again.
I have a PC with Windows XP and both programs installed on my C drive. I work on a server with the files. I'm not very technical I'm afraid. Is this enough information? Thank you.

I want to produce an XML file from XML Publisher and Burst it as XML

Hi,
I have XML data and I want to make a template that will generate an XML file from this data so I will be able to burst it.
The output file of the bursting needs to be XML.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks,
Chen.

If you used your computer as part of the VHS to DVD process, then you'll have a digital audio file that we can find, but I'm guessing you used a VHS to DVD standalone recorder. If so, you can use some free software called MPEG Streamclip:
- insert your DVD, and Quit from the DVD Player if it starts automatically.
- start MPEG Streamclip and open the DVD; then open the Video TS folder and open the first of the .VOB files (repeat this step until you find the file you're interested in).
- use the Export to AIFF option and you'll have the audio file.
- you'll be able to bring this file into iTunes, burn it to CD, etc.

How to avoid the null values from xml publisher.

I am creating a report which have the claim numbers with the values CLA001,CLA111,null, null . when i preview my report it is showing some spaces for null values also. How can i avoid the spaces from the report.
I am giving for loop for the claim numbers in the template.
<?for-each:ROW?> <?sort:CLAIMNUMBER;'ascending';data-type='text'?>
<?CLAIMNUMBER?>
<?end for-each?>
Please help me out to solve this problem.
Thanks,
vasanth.

Hi Sheshu,
According to your description, you are experiencing the null values and infinity values when browser the calculated measure, right?
Based on my research, the issue is caused by that dividing a non-zero or non-null value by zero or null. In this cases, we need to check for division by zero to avoid this situation. Here is the sample query for you reference.
IIF(
Measures.[Measure B]=0,null,
Measures.[Measure A] / Measures.[Measure B]
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

XML Publisher Check Print - Voiding Duplicate Checks

XML Publisher Check Print - Voiding Duplicate Checks
I am printing checks using XML Publisher. The checks print fine but when the number of invoices for a check exceeds the length of the first page I want the subsequent copies of the check to print VOID on them. How can I do this?
Thanks

Ravi,
Our check print format has 3 portions
1. Invoice numbers (TOP of the page)
2. Vendor/Check Details (MIDDLE of the page)
3. Currently it is Blank (BOTTOM of the page)
Currently, I'm able to print single check. but when it comes to batch invoices
I'm printing 13 invoices per page. In my case i have 32 invoices
first two pages printing blank on (MIDDLE of the page) and on last page printing check details.
Client wants to print VOID CHECK on first two pages or last two pages.
Please respond where to add logic.
Additional info: I'm using Dharsan's template link is

Is it not possible to print the Excel generated reports from EBS!!

Is is true that the Excel generated by XML Publisher is not printable from Oracle Applications. Does the printers do not have drivers to understand EXCEL format (which from XML Publisher is XHTML not binary .xls.) So for printed output we should only use PDF ??
Please advice!!
Thanks.

Hi,
Actually the Excel format generated by XML Publisher is XHTML ... so the print process would need to convert XHTML to Postscript (similar to PDF being converted to Postscript by pdf2ps).
But you question is still valid... unfortunately I haven't tried it ... anyone else?

Dear Manmath Das,
It is too difficult to handle the print on pre printed continuous stationery by PLD. PLD is a very basic tool. You may only get it work by endless try and error to see.
