Printing requirements for Bi publisher report

Hi all
Can any one tell me the steps required for me to look at the setups on my server side so that i can print the reports using the bursting API.The problem is i am not able to debug the log file as there is no connection error or any other exception but still i am not able to see the documents printed.
this is part of my log file
POST /printers/u260 HTTP/1.1Host: u260:631
User-Agent: Oracle XML Publisher 5.6.3
Connection: Keep-Alive
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Content-Type: application/ipp
<<<
IPP version: 10
operation id: 410
charset: utf-8
request id: 1
-- operation attrs --
[1]attributes-charset:utf-8
[1]attributes-natural-language:en-us
-- printer attrs --
-- job attrs --
From this i understood that there is no problem with the connection but some how it is not printing.
Any help will be appreciated as i am having tough time figuring out this.
Thanks

You need about 40 GB total. Also make sure that your /tmp and /var/tmp have about 2GB free in them, otherwise the installation will fail. (I can't remember the exact numbers, though.)
I agree, the system requirements do not exist anywere in any straightforward documentation. You need to read at least three different documents to piece together the requirements, and the results will still be incomplete.

Output not printing correctly for BI Publisher report.

Hi All,
We have a BI Publisher report which is printing correctly on one printer but not on another printer. The top and right side of the output are getting truncated. Printer type for both the printer is same that is "--PASTA Universal Printer Type" and both are using the same printer driver 'PASTA_PDF' and same style 'PDF Publisher'.
Please let me know how can I debug the issue.
Thanks
Vishalaksha

Steve- I understand what you are mentioning about the ftp, the XML file looks okay on both server and the client except for the letter 'ü ' and the rest of the German characters prints okay. THe problem is that the BI reprot is printing the same wrong characters.

How to print output of XML Publisher report in different trays of a printer

Hi All,
I have a requirement in XML Publisher Report. I need to print all pages other than last one in one tray of a printer and the last page has to be printed in another tray of the same printer.
Can anyone help me out...
Thank You..

I do not think it is possible to send all the pages to one tray and send only the last page to a different tray. However, you may review the following notes:

Creating Parameters in RTF Template for BI Publisher Report

hi,
I have created Parameters in my BI Publisher Report and in SQL query. But i need to create same parameters in RTF Template , so that when i publish this report in dashboard , parameters will be visible. Can you please tell me how to create Parameters in RTF Template for BI Publisher Report ? I am not finding option. Please let me know .
Thanks in advance
Gayathri.

all the parameter's value will be there in your xml .
just you need to add parameter heading and corresponding xml tag name to get the parameter value on the report.
if u dont have you can try like below
https://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/entry/get_your_parameters_here_guv
Declare Parameter in RTF Template
Before you use the parameter in the RTF template file you need to declare it first. You can do so by having the following syntax.
<?param@begin:%parameter_name%?>
Note: where %parameter_name% is the parameter name that you have created at the BI Publisher Server UI.
Here is an example:
<?param@begin:param1?>
Use it in RTF Template!
Once it’s declared in the RTF template you can start using it as the same way you use the variable. You need to just add ‘$’ prefix in front of the parameter name. Here is the example:
<?$param1?>
The above example would print the parameter value in the report output. If you want to use this value in your condition or calculation you can simply use it as ‘$param1’. Yes, it’s that simple.
If you are not sure if and how the parameter values are passed to the report when you run the report you can use this command in your RTF template, which will return all the parameter values passed to the RTF template at the runtime.
<?xdoxslt:getXDOProperties($_XDOCTX)?>

FO processing for XML Publisher Report Bursting Program

Hello,
I am facing the following problem: if i try to burst a report using XML Publisher Report Bursting Program special characters like (ş,ţ,ă, etc.) in the resulting PDF look strange. I have tried running the report without bursting it and the characters appear just fine (after i've set the FO Processing Font Mapping). My guess is that XML Publisher Report Bursting Program is not using the right font mapping. Have you faced this problem before? Do you have any idea how to set the right font mapping for XML Publisher Report Bursting Program.
Thank you.

So the answer was to make sure the location in the bursting file (location="xdo://schema.template_code.en.US) exactly matches the language/country setting in the uploaded Definition. Then make sure the fonts have been added to the xdo.cfg file matching what your Font Mappings are:

<truetype path="/app/erp1/applmgr/apps/tech_st/10.1.3/appsutil/jdk/jre/lib/fonts/CAMBRIA.TTC" />


<truetype path="/app/erp1/applmgr/apps/tech_st/10.1.3/appsutil/jdk/jre/lib/fonts/CAMBRIAB.TTF" />


<truetype path="/app/erp1/applmgr/apps/tech_st/10.1.3/appsutil/jdk/jre/lib/fonts/CAMBRIAB.TTF" />

When changing or deleting one or more lines of the internal table
"\PROGRAM=ZRQEEAL10\DATA=SELECT_FIELDS" or when inserting in the table
   "\PROGRAM=ZRQEEAL10\DATA=SELECT_FIELDS", 0 was used as
the line index. An index less than or equal to zero is not
allowed.
The error can occur when using the following options:
1. "INDEX idx" for specifying the line number in the table
   "\PROGRAM=ZRQEEAL10\DATA=SELECT_FIELDS"
     where you want to change, insert or delete.
2. "FROM idx" for specifying the start index when deleting a line
     area from or inserting a line area into the table
   "\PROGRAM=ZRQEEAL10\DATA=SELECT_FIELDS".
3. "TO idx" for specifying the end index when deleting a line
     area from or inserting a line area into the table
   "\PROGRAM=ZRQEEAL10\DATA=SELECT_FIELDS".
At the time of the termination, the table contained 2 lines.
This is the error

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.

How to create editable PDF template for XML Publisher reports

Hi,
I have got a requirement to have some editable fields in one report whose output is in PDF format.
I tried looking and saw this can be done using the XML Publisher report and using PDF template.
But I got only Adobe Acrobat Reader and it does not have the facility to create Form fields.. Can you let me know what software I need in order to create the editable PDF Template.
In the user guide, it didnot mention anything regarding this.
Can I create editable PDF report using RTF template or do i have to got for PDF template only?
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks

Hi,
To edit PDF template , u need Acrobat writer, which is not free .
I am still wondering what is this ?
"" Can I create editable PDF report using RTF template ?? "".
What is editable PDF report. ?
i think what you tried to mention is ,
can the PDF output from xml publisher is editable ?
If that is the question , so here is some points,
If you have Acrobat Writer or prof.edition, you can edit all the PDF documents irrespective of being from where it is generated.
To make you understand more of XMLP.
You create RTF template in word, so that , after merging with xml you can have multiple output formats like PDF, XLS, EFT,.....

"Unable to Access" error msg for BI Publisher Report

Hello All,
I am getting the following error when trying to access a BI Publisher report from the dashbaord. We can access the folders that come with BI Publisher examples, ie Executives, Financials, HR Manager but not the "GTR" that we have created.
Privelleges are the same. The folders have the same rights too.
This is for OBIEE 10.1.3.4 with BI Publisher of the same version, running on a solaris box.
Any thoughts.

Print program for large ALV Report

I have an ALV report that has around 20 columns of data which I would approximate that it will take 3 pages to display the data.
When I use the print button for this report, the layout is changed to the max possible columns 65x255 and yet many columns go missing in the hard copy.
It seems I need to write some separate logic to print this document. How can I handle this?
I am using CL_SALV_TABLE t o generate the report. I am already handling events ON_USER_COMMAND & TOP_OF_PAGE.
Thank you.

Hi,
Because the standard format of ALV output setting is X_65_255, when you want to extend the column number, you have to choose other format type follow the steps below:
   1.ALV screen, press 'print.' button->properties->
   2.double click 'format X_65_255'->
   3.In format field you can choose your setting with search help.
In R/3 system, we have several format as default, we can also define our own format by t-code: spad.
   1.Spad->
   2.Full administration->
   3.Devices types->
   4.Click 'Display' of Format types->
   5.Now, you can find X_65_255 format type here, click modify button and create a new one.
   6.Input format type, 'L' format type for ABAP lists, fill Attribuetes... ...
   7.Spad->Full administration->Device types->Device Types-> choose the device type you alredy use and double click it
   8.Click 'formats' button in application bar
   9.Click 'Create' button in application bar.
10.Add the format you just created.
11.After above steps you added the format to your device type, double click the format you added.
12.In the tab page of Formats we have to fill the following Actions:
                   a.Printer initialization
                   b.End of page
                   c.End of line.
       You can copy the code of each action from other formats, they are exactly the same!
    You can find your own defined page format in the ALV print properity, now!
Best regards!
