Reg. Autoshapes from .rtf template not printing

Hi:
I am using a RTF template to produce the XML output.
When I upload it to Apps the autoshapes e.g Line, Box, ellipse etc.;don't show at the position that they were created on the template or they show only partially at another part of the document and/or they don't repeat on every page.
Has anyone had this issue before?
Or is there a setup that I am missing that would rectify this issue?
Thanks
Sri

Generating a report from RTF template using WSDL from ADF

Hi,
I am a newbie to ADF-BIP integration.
I am using the wsdl http://<<ip>>:<<port>>/xmlpserver/services/PublicReportService?WSDL for generating a report from RTF Template in ADF.
We are using Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher Release 11g (11.1.1) and JDeveloper 11g (11.1.1.5.0).
I have a couple of merge variables in my RTF template and I am passing these variable using Report Request parameters.
below is code I added for creating the report request.
First I created publicReportService using webservice proxy.
    public static ReportRequest getReportRequestFromBIPWithTemplate(String reportFolderOnBIP,
                                                        String reportName,
                                                        String outputFileFormat,
                                                        String template,
                                                        HashMap params) {
      String reportAbsolutePath = reportFolderOnBIP + "/" + reportName + ".xdo";
      ReportRequest repRequest = new ReportRequest();
      System.out.println("report path: " + reportAbsolutePath);
      repRequest.setReportAbsolutePath(reportAbsolutePath);
      repRequest.setAttributeTemplate(template);
      repRequest.setAttributeFormat(outputFileFormat);
      repRequest.setAttributeLocale("en-US");
      repRequest.setSizeOfDataChunkDownload(-1);
      System.out.println(params.size());
      ParamNameValue[] paramNameValue = new ParamNameValue[params.size()];
      ArrayOfParamNameValue arrayOfparamNameValue = new ArrayOfParamNameValue();
      Set set = params.entrySet();
      Iterator iter = set.iterator();
      int i = 0;
      while (iter.hasNext()) {
        Map.Entry me = (Map.Entry)iter.next();
        System.out.println(i + "--->>>" + me.getKey() + " : " + me.getValue());
        paramNameValue[i] = new ParamNameValue();
        paramNameValue.setMultiValuesAllowed(false);
ArrayOfString values = new ArrayOfString();
if (me.getValue() == null) {
values.getItem().add("");
} else {
values.getItem().add((me.getValue()).toString());
paramNameValue[i].setValues(values);
paramNameValue[i].setName((me.getKey()).toString());
arrayOfparamNameValue.getItem().add(paramNameValue[i]);
i++;
repRequest.setParameterNameValues(arrayOfparamNameValue);
return repRequest;
I generated report response bytes using below code
{code:java}
repRes = publicReportService.runReport(repReq,userID,password);
reportStream = repRes.getReportBytes();I could see the generated PDF but the supplied variables are NOT reflected in place of merge variables.
Ex: In template
Welcome, <<merge variable, userName>>
{code}
Generated PDF should have
{code:java}
Welcome, Hello World
{code}
Instead of the above I am getting
{code:java}
Welcome,
{code}
I am looking for a suggestion, Please help me in this regard.
Thanks,
Satya

Generating TEXT output from RTF template/reports

Hi ,
We have been working with XML Publisher for a long time now.. and we have come across some requirements such as
1. Page break in TXT report output
2. Page Headers after every 'X' lines in TEXT output.
This was easily achieved with RTF template and PDF/HTML/RTF output, but not with TEXT output in eTEXT template.
So we started looking into two approaches
1. Generate TXT from PDF/RTF/HTML output(generated from RTF template), though it will addon to the time, but we are looking for this approach. We are looking for some JAVA api's which can help us to extract text from PDF/HTML/RTF while preserving the format.
2. Pass the TXT generated by eTEXT template to our custom util , which will split the report in diff. pages.This will get complex as we recieve more and more reports.
We have also tried hacking the RTF parser used in XML P so as to get a TXT output or using XSL-FO objects in eTEXT parser, but we could not get anything of our help.
Does anyone have any pointers in this.
regards
Gaurav

You can burst with eText and I have done it
successfully.
I don't believe pagebreaks are an option in eText and
I don't think it makes sense either since your
generating a flat-file and not a customer or internal
facing document. Does that make sense?
Also, if you would like you can use the
BIPublisherIDE, this code can be converted pretty
easily to handle jcp. There is a an oa framework
version I have developed but I haven't posted on my
blog yet. I plan on adding a bolt on for java
concurrent programs soon. it's really pretty simple
just haven't had the time.

Thanks Ike for your reply.
I agree with your points on TXT files, but in our case,the reports are generated in TXT format for the customer so we are looking for the above mentioned features.
I have gone through BIP IDE and its a wonderful small utility which eases the task of BIP development.
As I mentioned in my original post that we are currently processing the generated TXT report using a custom util. in JAVA to get the desired output in TXT again.
I assume thats not what a JCP would do,so I am looking to explore that too.
As I understand the process for report generation is
1. Generate XSL from eTEXT template.
2. Get the XML data from DB using XDO
3. Apply XSL on XML to get the required template.
If we are looking to achieve some customizations then we need to have the XSL generated with those customizations.
In this case, where do we plug in the JCP to alter XSL or am I missing something.

KSS

Hello KSS,
) Page number must be displayed at the bottom of each printed page.
For this select the Insert-->Page Numbers and say position as bottom of the page.
2) Report should be landscape oriented.
Select File-->Pagesetup here select the oreintation as Landscape.
3) Column headers must display on each printed page of the report
You might have defined a table and included the desired values
Select the table properties and go to the Row tab there check the option "Repeat as Header row at the top of each page"
Kind Regards,
Kumar.

Header and footer of RTF template not getting carried over to Excel output

Custom Java class called from RTF template generates error

We are running a report in BI Publisher and the report calls a custom developed Java class that is used to bind PDFs together and sent the result to another application.
On the RTF template we have some XSLT that reads the input XML and sets a variable which is then passed to the Java class. We are however getting the following error when the report is called simultaneously 2 or more times:
XML-22044: (Error) Extension function error: Error invoking 'JavaClassName': 'java.lang.Error: Cannot interweave overlay template with pdf input, combined number of pages is odd!
I read this as the real cause of the error is the Java code but I'm not 100% sure. Also I don't understand what the error message means.
Could someone help out please?
Many thanks

Since our this requirement is in Quotes module, its not using OAF. It is using plain JSPs and java classes.
What i was thinking is, create the Option values as flex fields, and write a custom java class to fetch these data from the flex tables and use it in the JSP.
The main problem we are facing now is,
"...we wrote a simple java class, which establishes database connection, executes a simple insert & select query to our custom table. compiled & placed the class file under our new pkg structure under $JAVA_TOP eg. oracle.apps.xxx.quot.tmpl , bounced the apache."
But when we tried to import this class in the jsp (which is being customized), the app just throwed Internal Server Error and we couldnt find any info in the Log file.
Couldnt guess, why is this simple thing failing. Any idea ?

Rtf template not showing as uploaded in concurrent program

Hello
I have created xml data definition and uploaded a rtf template. Then linked it to my concurrent program. But when i ran the concurrent program successfully all i get is the xml output. Upon closer inspection it shows that no template is uploaded. Yet in xml publisher it shows as uploaded.
so my question is: what can prevent a rtf template from attaching to a concurrent program?

If you and send the template, it would be helpful.
kindly send it to [email protected]

PDF created from AutoCAD will not print

This one has me baffled.
I'm working with AutoCAD 2009 and Adobe Acrobat 8. I printed 3 layouts from AutoCAD to Acrobat as a C-size sheet. I usually merge them into one multi-page file using Acrobat. All 3 .PDFs were created with no errors and can be viewed on the screen.
I went to print this 3 page file to an HP DesignJet 500. The first 2 pages printed fine, but page 3 would not print.
So I went to the original individual file for the missing page, opened it in Acrobat - it also would not print to the HP 500. BUT - it WOULD print to my HP 2800 on an A-size (letter) sheet.
All three pages came from the same AutoCAD file. All 3 .PDFs were created using the same settings. Individually, only the first 2 will print to the HP 500.
I tired recreating the third file with a different file name. Looks fine on the screen, yet when I try to print it, it does not get to the printer driver.
Yes, I have re-booted my system. No difference. Rebooted again and recreated the document - no change.
I figure there has to be some quirky character or entity in my AutoCAD layout that is tripping up the printer driver for the HP 500. This is my first encounter with this kind of problem. And yes, I do have the latest HP 500 driver installed and have created and printed 100s of AutoCAD drawings in this manner.
BTW, I'm running WIndows XP Pro.

Michael,
I have about 19GB of free space on drive C: - your tip about "print as image" did permit the file to print to the HP 500. This DesignJet is not a PS or PCL printer.
I've never encountered this kind of problem before. This particular AutoCAD layout has a fair amount (but not a lot) of text that would no doubt be converted to a raster image (as it is not a system font) when processed by Acrobat during .PDF creation.
My drive D: has much more free space - is there a way of directing the printer driver to store its output to that drive?
Thanks for the tip - at least I know what to do the next time I'm up against the clock trying to get the work out.

Since installing firefox my emails from yahoo will not print anymore. No error message just nothing

Since installed Firefox my emails from my yahoo will not print. There is not error message, nothing waiting to print. When I go to my AT&T emails they will still print. I will need to uninstall Firefox if you can't help me. Thanks. Pat

HP LaserJet M1530. Working from OpenOffice, will not print envelope. Sends info, does not print.

Basically that. The info is sent to the printer, it shows up in queue, but the printer will not print. Doesn't even try.

The likely cause is the black ink is not printing at all. When printing graphics (like the Windows Test Page) black is made from mixing the color ink. I would suggest printing an internal diagnostic test page as shown in this page. Does the black block print? If not then clean the printheads as described here.

How to get the CSV,DATA output from RTF template

Hi Jorge
Thanks for your help.
as in the link you have given RTF template can have the output type CSV,DATA but in the preview i can see only html,powerpoint,pdf,html excel .
How to see the output in SCV,DATA format using my RTF template do i need to do specific design for those outputs.
Thnaks in Advance

It is because it has been preconfigured with such outputs.
To modify and add more output types simply go to:
1. Edit your Report
2. Click on "View a List" (upper right hand corner)
3. Click on the "output formats" (corresponding to your layout) and
4. Check (add) the additional output formats you want your report to have.
cheers
Jorge

Why do files (UPS labels) from the Internet not print properly (they used to), unless they're saved as PDFs and then printed?

Files from the Internet (for example a UPS label) no longer print properly (too light, faded out), whereas they used to print just fine directly from the Internet source. The only way they print properly now is to save the file as a PDF and print from that. So I'm think it's not the Canon printer. This hasn't happened before, and I'd like to know what I can do about it, what's going on. This is via Firefox and Safari on my Mac laptop, OS 10.6.8.
Thanks, David Smoak

2) Thanks for the tip. It isn't what I had in mind, but writing scripts to do the work (via tells to "System Events") and then invoking those scripts with osascript is indeed a reasonable solution.
3) You may not have understood me. The only peculiarity is that I sometimes see "Enable Folder Actions" in the menu even when Folder Actions are, in fact, globally enabled, so that I should instead be seeing "Disable Folder Actions" along with "Remove a Folder Action" and so forth. As you say, I always see "Configure Folder Actions...". Surely this is just a minor bug.
As far as the main issue, I don't believe I have any code that activates the Finder. My original message has a sample of one of my scripts, and you can see that it doesn't mention the Finder at all. As I said, I get the same behavior with the sample Folder Action scripts in /Library. As one more test, I tried a absolutely empty script---the Script Editor window contains not a single glyph when I save it. If I attach this completely empty script as a Folder Action to a folder, any addition or deletion from that folder activates the Finder, though nothing else happens. Still looking for help on this one!

Exported PDFs from InDesign will not print

Our Marketing Manager is using Adobe InDesign and exports her documents to PDF. These PDFs won't print in any of our printers in the office. It spools and then gets stuck and it actually makes our HP Coloured Laser Printer throw an error (error 79) and we'll have to restart the printer due to this error. We can print other documents and other PDFs in the printer so we know it's not a printer driver issue. In fact, we have isolated the problem to only PDFs exported from InDesign. Even if we create a blank document or add just text from InDesign and export it to PDF it still won't print. Really odd.

How exactly are you trying to print those PDF files to the HP printers? From Adobe Reader? From Adobe Acrobat? Or are you just somehow sending them to the printer itself?
Typical HP and other desktop printers either don't directly support PDF printing or only support subsets of PDF.
Assuming you haven't tried this already, try printing the PDF to your printer from either Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader.
