Replace Oracle Report Dunning Letter to BI-Publisher Dunning Letter

HI,
Are their any documents who is telling me, how I can use the output of "Dunning Letter Print from Dunning Letter Generate".
I have Already tried to create an "RTF" document, and placed it in BI Publisher of Oracle EBS R11.5.10.
I have Created Data Definition, Simple one
I have replaced the output of "Dunning Letter Print from Dunning Letter Generate" to XML.
But the BI Publisher doesn't pick up the output.
So I have done the following thinks.
1. Change output type of "Dunning Letter Print from Dunning Letter Generate" to XML
2. Copied XML out put to my workstation.
3. Make an example MSWord Document
4. Test the XML output file in MSWord and it seems to work
5. Create in EBS BI Publisher and data definition called "ARDLP_NON_SRS"
6. Create in EBS BI Publisher and Template Called "ARDLP_NON_SRS" defined with Default Output Type = PDF
7. Restart "Dunning Letter Generate" Output is created but result is XML output, and not PDF output as defined in BI Publisher Template.
what do I wrong.
Thanks for your reply.

Check the data definition setup - is the code = to the program short name? make sure that they are both in capital letters

Is Oracle Reports dead?

In the Oracle Product Chaos where every product gets a new name when a new version will be released or disappears in a new marketing bundle (xy suite) it's very difficult to find information about products when you don't look every two days at OTN.
Where in the jungle can I find what I know under the name Oracle Reports?

Ian, I know that url, but it's not so easy to reach it directly over the menus. Some months ago, Oracle Reports was part of the BI-Suite. Now, it isn't anymore. It seems to me that Oracle don't want to invest in further marketing and development for that product.
Should XML Publisher replace Oracle Reports? Please please NO!!

Error - while calling Oracle report

X Error
REP-771: 'afterpform': Fatal PL/SQL error occurred.
ORA-01403: no data found
Hi,
I have Oracle reports integrated into HTML DB. When I run this application, I get above error. I have tried purging user preferences. But, I still get the same error. This report works correct when I try running this on Oracle reports.
This application used to work until two days ago. Right now, it is giving this error for some reason. Could some one let me know if I am missing something. Thanks,
Lakshmi

Hi SriLakshmi,
How are you calling the Oracle Report. Because the error you are seeing is from Oracle Reports and not from HTMLDB.
Please let me know how you are calling Oracle reports maybe I can help you .

Oracle reports to Crystal reports

Hi
we have existing Oracle reports executed using Oracle Reports Server.
Is it possible to replicate same scnario in Crystal reports. Means can we replace Oracle reports with Crystal Reports.
What all component do we need?
Do we need to use Crystal report Server

You have a few options.
I can't really speak to Oracle reports but I can give you a quick explanation of how you could embed Crystal Reports inside of your applications
Option 1. Crystal Reports for Eclipse - This allows you create reports inside of Eclipse and embed those reports inside java applications using our Java runtime engine. In this scenario you would be placing our runtime inside your application.
http://diamond.businessobjects.com/eclipse
Option 2. For higher report loads and extra features you could use something like Crystal Reports Server(CRS). CRS has backend services contain the report engine. These reports can be run outside your application and then the output is streamed to your application via a client API.
Hope this helps

Problem calling XML Report Publisher from Oracle Reports

Hi,
I'm facing a problem in calling XML Report Publisher from Oracle Reports.
Basically, I'm trying to customise Dunning Letter program. The program which is submitted calls another program. I have customised the second program and added a call to a stored procedure which in turn calls XML Report Publisher.I have created a template and attached it to the second program as well.
The procedure code is as follows.
v_request_id := FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST(application => 'AR'
,program => 'ARDLP_NON_SRS'
,description => 'Dunning Letter Print from Dunning Letter Generate'
,sub_request => FALSE
l_status := fnd_concurrent.WAIT_FOR_REQUEST
( REQUEST_ID => v_request_id,
INTERVAL => 15,
MAX_WAIT => 180,
PHASE => l_phase,
STATUS => l_status_code,
DEV_PHASE => l_dev_phase,
DEV_STATUS => l_dev_status,
MESSAGE => l_message );
v_xml_req_id := FND_REQUEST.submit_request(application => 'XDO',
program => 'XDOREPPB',
          argument1 => v_request_id,
argument2 => 'FLS DE AR Dunning Letter Print - German',
argument3 => 603, -- changed 665 -- was 551,
argument4     => NULL,
argument5 => 'N',
argument6     => 'RTF',
          argument7     => 'PDF');
Now, there are two problems I'm facing...
1. when the second program('Dunning Letter Print from Dunning Letter Generate') gets called it executes this procedure ... logically the 'Dunning Letter Print from Dunning Letter Generate' should get called twice ... second time from the procedure. Its getting called multiple times .. as many as 15 - 20 times.
2. The Xml Report Publisher program ultimately gets called but its erroring out with the following error:
java.sql.SQLException: No corresponding LOB data found :SELECT L.FILE_DATA FILE_DATA, DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH(L.FILE_DATA) FILE_LENGTH, L.LANGUAGE LANGUAGE, L.TERRITORY TERRITORY, B.DEFAULT_LANGUAGE DEFAULT_LANGUAGE, B.DEFAULT_TERRITORY DEFAULT_TERRITORY,B.TEMPLATE_TYPE_CODE TEMPLATE_TYPE_CODE, B.USE_ALIAS_TABLE USE_ALIAS_TABLE, B.START_DATE START_DATE, B.END_DATE END_DATE, B.TEMPLATE_STATUS TEMPLATE_STATUS, B.USE_ALIAS_TABLE USE_ALIAS_TABLE, B.DS_APP_SHORT_NAME DS_APP_SHORT_NAME, B.DATA_SOURCE_CODE DATA_SOURCE_CODE, L.LOB_TYPE LOB_TYPE FROM XDO_LOBS L, XDO_TEMPLATES_B B WHERE (L.LOB_TYPE = 'TEMPLATE' OR L.LOB_TYPE = 'MLS_TEMPLATE') AND L.APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME= :1 AND L.LOB_CODE = :2 AND L.APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME = B.APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME AND L.LOB_CODE = B.TEMPLATE_CODE AND ( (L.LANGUAGE = :3 AND L.TERRITORY = :4 ) OR (L.LANGUAGE = :5 AND L.TERRITORY = :6) OR (L.LANGUAGE= B.DEFAULT_LANGUAGE AND L.TERRITORY= B.DEFAULT_TERRITORY ) )
I have checked from database that the XDO_LOBS/ XDO_TEMPLATES_B table has corresponding registration data.
I don't know what's creating the problem.
If anyone has customised the Dunning Letter program before or having any idea about this problem, please help me out ..
Thanks

Converting a simple Oracle Report to XML Publisher report template

Hello,
I have a simple Oracle Report 9i which displays data from four tables. It uses three different queries to get the data. How can I simply generate a template file(say RTF) or atleast an XML source from that report? I tried joining the queries (like outer join) but wasn't able to get the format which report 9i was generating. Could anyone please help me out with a clear approach?

Hi,
Are you referring to how to get xml out put from seeded report i mean from EBS that already in oracle reports,
then you need to query from respective application by creating new concurrent program and then change the out put to XML, you will get xml file then save it to your system.
By using this input xml fle you can create RTF template whatever you want the foramat, after that you upload back this RTF file to EBS using XML PUBLISHER ADMINISTRATOR responsibility.
hope this might give you idea,
let us know if it is not clear or you are asking different question,

Run XML Publisher Report via URL (like Oracle Reports)

Hi All,
Is it possible to run xml-publisher report via URL?
In Oracle Reports works this fine:
http://test:7777/reports/rwservlet?server=test_bihome1&report=test1.rdf&userid=test/testv@db&desformat=pdf&destype=cache
We need this for public reports without user login.
Thanks
Thomas

Thomas,
I was waiting to get home before Tim replied... He got the better of me this time :-)
You say you want to let your users run reports using XMLP just by clicking on an URL same way you do with reports and without having to login. If I got the question right and assuming that:
1.Your company is not overly concerned on who runs what reports
2.Who sees what data
3.Your XMLP installation is on your intranet and firewalled from the outside
What you can do is:
On the main page of your XMLP Enterprise installation you should see a folder called "Guest". Any report you create under this folder is run as user "guest" which means you don't have to authenticate yourself as you would normally do.
I have tested this on my home server and this is what I've done:
1.Logged in as admin or any other user you've created with admin privileges created a report under the "Guest" folder.
2.Copied the URL, on my server it is "http://samba.private.net:15101/xmlpserver/Guest/People/People.xdo"
4.Logged off as admin and pasted the URL to a new browser window
5.Hit return and Voila, my report runs without the need to login to XMLP.
Hope this helps. Let us know how you got on.
Cheers,
Joao
PS: If you want to see the report for yourself here's the URL from the outside: http://medeiros.homelinux.net:15101/xmlpserver/Guest/People/People.xdo
I'll keep the link alive for a couple of days.

How to Publish a report created by Oracle report builder

Hi Everyone
My colleague and I were trying to use the Oracle Reports Builder to replace our existing reports generator from our ERP system. We have already created the report in the Reports Builder from the development suite.
What we are looking for is a similar solution as the Microsoft reporting service;
1) create the company report templates
2) and then upload the template files to a location (e.g. folder on the server)
3) then all user in the company can access it by a web browser with some fields which they can enter some critiria (e.g. purchase order number).
4) then send to printer and the print out should look exactly like the template.
Unfortunately, we had very bad time on try to find out what we need and how to publish that Oracle report we created. We spent 15 hours on that but no result.
In that 15 hours we tried to setup the "Oracle report service", but at last my colleague said that wasnt what we looking for, the "Oracle report service" is for reporting the error from the application hosted on the server, not for publish the company report created by the "Oracle report bulider" .
We use Oracle Database 10g for the ERP quite a long time already. We had the Oracle Developer Setup, and the Application Server Installed.
Could someone please tell us what kind of Oracle service we are actually looking for. Any other suggestion and setup guides are also the most welcoming.
Best Regards
Bryan

Hello,
If you want to be able to execute your Reports on the web, the best solution is to use the "Oracle Application Server"
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/htdocs/101202.html
For example , the "Forms & Reports Services Standalone" edition
Then, use the Reports Servlet to submit the execution requests to a Reports Server :

Oracle Reports & XML Publisher

Hallo,
Will there be a Oracle Reports Server (native) Version for the Application Server 10.1.3 (and beyond) or will this Service be replaced by the XML Publisher?
Thx, Willi

BIP is a different tool that pretty much can do the same job. And (it appears to me) that BIP will eventually be replacing Reports. I am sure BIP will undergo a few more versions first...but Reports does not seem to be undergoing any new development (that I know of). This is just my two cents...
More to the point: You can also use Oracle reports or BIP or both to generate yoru reports and can even use Reports to generate the XML data (from the db of course) and then use this data file to feed into BIP and use BIP format templates to display the data and even have multiple BIP templates for a single data file.
In may respects BIP format templates are easier to work with (based upon MSWord) than the layout editor in Oracle Reports and this method allows you to keep the (sometimes very complex) sql in Oracle Reports intact, unchanged. However, the use of a MSWord plug in has limitations...
It is my opinion that currently BIP has many formatting limitations that are not present in Oracle Reports. To overcome these formatting limitations you pretty much need to learn XSL if you have complex reports. And it is not any easier than learning how to use XSL (if you are not a Java/DotNet type) than it is to learn the layout editor in Reports (IMHO) .
All of the above is my personal perspective based upon 10+ years on Oracle Reports and 14 months on BIP so take it with a grain of salt. I do not nor have I ever worked for Oracle.

XML Publisher Report in EBS without Standard Oracle Report

Hi folks ,
i have some questions.
Can I create a XML Publisher Report for the EBS without a Standard Oracle Report in EBS.
So that I can build up the files with the Desktop Publisher, create Data Definition / Template with Upload / Create the executable und concurrent and than only start the new program in EBS ?
I have the situation that I can start my program with the template in the background but ít is searching for the report on the file system.
Thanks in advance for the feedback.
regards
Kay

Hi Ravi ,
can i do it only with the xml Publisher , because when i tried it in the past and get all the staff like Template / DD / CP up and running and started the CR i get an error from the system that he is missing a report directly in the file system... so he searched for the report himself on system like a standard 6i Report. But the template and the dd is stored in the db. So my question again, can I use the XML Puplisher without a Standard Report or can i use a dummy file only for checking and after that he use my template / dd.
regards
Kay

Layout issue while trying Migrate Oracle Report to XML publisher Reports

Hi
I am trying to Convert Seeded Oracle Reports (rdf) to BI Publisher reports, in doing so encounter layout issues. The layout of the RTF , PDF or HTML generated by BI Publisher is different form the text, PDF or HTML outputs generated by the concurrent report. The problem with the BI Publisher template and out put
Is, the lay out is getting distorted .
Steps to archive the migration :
-     download the rdf from the server to local m/c.
-     execute Forms 9i Util rwconverter to generate a xml
-     use the oracle.apps.xdo.rdfparser.RTFTemplateGenerator API to generate a RTF template of the report layout
-     Then use this template to generate a XSL via oracle.apps.xdo.template.RTFProcessor API
-     The Apply the XSL on the XML data output of the report using oracle.apps.xdo.template.FOProcessor to generate RTF , PDF & HTML files.
Name of the Report used for migration “FSG - Report Detail Listing” , responsibility GL super User. This was just a random report we picked-up for trial.
The layout of these files seems to distorted than the layout of the original report output as generated by the rdf report.
Pls suggest some means to resolve this or any pointers towards what causing this could be of help.
-     Shudipto

The process of "converting" an old Oracle Reports rdf into a BIP report is more akin to writing a brand new report in BIP than to what most people would consider a true conversion.
The conversion routine outlined by Oracle just gives you a starting point for converting RDF layouts into BIP, and nothing more. In regards to the data define it does somewhat better generating your queries and XML layout (but honestly, that is the easy part), but even for the data define it will lose your formula columns as well as report triggers.
I have used the converter on several dozen rdf files and I have yet to see one that is better than 10-20% ready for use after the conversion process.
I would strongly suggest that you only convert the reports that you have to convert (for enhancements, modifications, etc). If it ain't broke in old Oracle Reports, dont' try to fix it in BIP.

From Oracle Reports to Bi Publisher :) [Closed]

Hello.. First I'll explain our situation :)
In our company when we create reports (using oracle reports) we have to insert in our before report trigger this: srw.user_exit('FND SRWINIT') ..An in the after report trigger this: srw.user_exit('FND SRWEXIT') Because this is needed for the CEMLIs (configurations, extensions, modifications, localization, and integrations) of the company in order to measure the time each report takes to finish.
I’ve made some reports using XML Publisher (Bi Publisher) and they are working great :) ..But now some people here are asking me if I could use those same instructions in order to get the information of the time.
I read at Tim’s Blog this:
“.. In good ol Oracle Reports you just added the following command in your before report trigger: srw.user_exit('FND SRWINIT') and it was all done for you. In the world of BIP we go one step further. The executable that runs your data template sets the org id for you so you do not have to do anything. Now there is a caveat to this, as long as you are using the BIP delivered executable (XDODTEXE) in EBS to call the data engine to run your data templates you're fine..” (http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/2007/03/22)
We are using the executable XDODTEXE in EBS so I told them we don’t need to use those commands. But when they tested a process in order to get the info of the time (CEMLIs) they got no information.
Now I’m trying to insert in the data template the beforeReport and afterReport Triggers. But.. I don’t know what I should insert as the source:
<dataTrigger name=”beforeReport” source=”???????”/>
*Should I use something like SRW.INIT?
*Or is this already done when we run the concurrent using the XDODTEXE executable? (if yes, how can I verify this?)
*Is any of this possible (use those instructions of reports in bi publisher)?
Any help would be appreciated.. Thanks :)
~ Cori ~
(sorry if I misspelled something.. my English is not very good hehe :P)

Hello Tim, Thanks for your reply :)
Some people of Oracle told us we needed to use this command because with this a trace file is created. This are the steps they gave us (this is only used at OnDemand):
1) to be able to run a CEMLI, on the report you have to use in a before report trigger: srw.user_exit('FND SRWINIT'). In the after report trigger: srw.user_exit('FND SRWEXIT') (we didn't follow this step because we're using XDODTEXE as the executable)
2) in the report add a numeric parameter named ‘P_CONC_REQUEST_ID’
3) activate the Trace Option in the concurrent of the report.
4) execute the concurrent of the report
5) execute the concurrent ‘CEMLI Performance Checker’
6) fill the cemli_performance_standard file (this is a .xls file we have) with the information that was on the output of step No 5
We weren't getting the output of step No 5.. But now we could make it work :D
We were skipping step No 2, we just added the parameter and now everything is working fine :)
Thanks :)
