Security issues for mail relay.

When setting up a mail relay.
Are there any special considerations regarding passwords for the administrator?
Are there any services that need to be specifically turned off?
Any other issues?
TIA

Hi,
I did setup new MOAC security profiles and assigned multiple organizations to that profile for testing purpose.
After this, I did run concurrent program "Security List Maintennce" etc...
Tested Upding profile at user level or responsibility level.
On APPS side fine.
I need the some basic steps on setup of security issues for discoverer side.
1) Business areas (any security steps need to be followed in order to access data for single or multi-org)
2) Custom Reports ( any security setup or any moac security profile setting against responsibilty for accessing single or multi-org data)
Since we dont have default operating unit parameter as specified in the concurrent program, how do you restrict data?
3) Reconciling security approach r12 with discoverer (any steps need to be followed here after r12 configuration with security issues)
4) Custom Views ( any steps to be followed for single or multi-org data as security aspect)
Looking for info on these setups.
Thx

Pass the file id or a parameter from a report (10g) to the distribution.xml

Is there any way to pass the file id or a parameter from a report (10g) to the distribution.xml file?

Hi,
Please review article ID 273960.1 on metalink.
The article actually describes an issue one may run into while enabling a reports distribution xml file to accept dynamic values, but you can extract the answer you're looking for by studying the above mentioned note.
Best Regards and Good Luck,

When running an xml publisher report the xml output leads to 9 mb and the excel output file leads to 20 mb.But the output records is originally 4000 records. When copy to new excel it is showing 3.5 mb only. Does anyone knows the answer for this issue?

When running an xml publisher report the xml output leads to 9 mb and the excel output file leads to 20 mb. The records contained in excel file is 4000 records. When taking the excel records and copy to new excel file the excel file size is 3.5 mb only.Why does the oracle software generates 20mb file?
Does any one knows the answer please advice?

Hello,
This issue is because the Excel output from BI Publisher is MHTML (XML Publisher generates XHTML) not binary .xls.
MHTML and XHTML are more verbose formats than binary .xls.
It will be large because the current Excel output is just an HTML and not compressed like PDF. Please use the workaround (save it as .xls file). This is a known limitation of RTF layout templates.
BI Publisher Enterprise has a new feature True Excel Templates. The layouts generate binary Excel output.
Excel Output File Size Generated By BI Publisher is Very Large (Doc ID 760437.1)

Distribution.xml problem in 10g reports...

Hi freinds,
Iam generalizing the distrubution.xml file for emailing from the report. It looks like this.
<destinations>
<mail id= "mail_id" to= "&<P_recipient_email>" cc= "&<P_cc_email>" bcc= "&<P_bcc_email>"
from= "&<P_sender_email>" subject= "&<P_mail_subject>">
     <body srcType="text">
"&<P_mail_body>"
     </body>
     <attach format= "&<P_format>" name= "&<P_attachment_name>" srcType="report">
     <include src="report"/>
     </attach>
</mail>
</destinations>
I have 3 problems.
1) When I pass dynamic value for "format" attribute it is giving following error :
REP-34304: 7
NMToken must contain atleast one NMChar.
REP-34304: Distribution failed to complete, please review the distribution lists
How Can I pass a dynamic value for "format" attribute in the < attachment > tag ?
2) When I pass dynamic value for "attachment name" attribute it is giving following error :
REP-34308: Invalid reference parameter 'P_attachment_name' in distribution list
How Can I pass a dynamic value for "name" attribute in the < attachment > tag ?
3) I want to pass the body text dynamically from the report. So Iam passing P_mail_body parameter from the report
and referencing in the distribution.xml file like this, "&<P_mail_body>".
But it is not printing the p_mail_body variable value.
It is printing "&<P_mail_body>" in the body of the email.
How to pass dynamic body text from the report into distrubution.xml file ?
Plese help me.
Thanks alot.

Hi all,
first of all I would recommend not to use &, < and > inside the xml-definition. Use instead of
&<ename>
the following coding
&<ename>
This is because Reports and XML have a overlapped using of these signs.
1: no anser, sorry for that
2: I've testet with
name="Department &<deptno>.pdf"
which works fine
3: You can build your dynamic body for example in the header of the report and reference them in the distribution file. Then your XML-File looks like
<body srcType="report" format="html">
<include src="headerSection"/>
</body>
For the Header you had to use the same "Repeat On" Property Value than for your Report Body, if you use advanced bursting.
Hope that helps

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.

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.

Distribution working differently for the same report

Hello all,
I created a template with 3 reports, each of which opens for 4 plants.
Then, when I schedule the offline distribution process, 2 of the reports are generated correctly for all plants, while the 3rd has a strange behavior. This 3rd report has 2 sheets and opens correctly for 2 of the plants, while for the other 2:
- in one sheet, the formulas are not converted to offline mode (like _epmOfflineCondition_ ) giving an "#Error, no current connection." message and the sheet is not protected; however, the report data is correct.
- in the other sheet, everything works ok and the sheet is protected;
Any thoughts? Thanks,
Ana-Maria

Thanks Ashok,
but unfortunately the above points are not applicable to the issue indicated:
1. Log off&log on has no effect since this problem appears on all PCs and always for the same data group.
2. The data group is available in the model cube and master data.
3. We are using the ADMIN user to execute the process so we have all authorizations (also, these are defined at Country level and only one Plant from a Country is not working).
4. The formula is correct.
5. Since the report executes correctly as a standalone report and works for other plants, I don't believe there is an issue with it.
The issue still persists.

Why would Extension Manager CS6 report dependency issues for 29 InDesign CS6 factory plug-ins?

Suddenly Extension Manager CS6 is reporting dependency issues for 29 InDesign CS6 factory plug-ins. I made no changes to those plugins that might have precipitated this. Anyone have any ideas about what might have happened? (This is happening with Extension Manager 6.0.8.28 and InDesign 8.0.2.) Some examples of the plugins reported as not meeting dependency condition are the following:
   Book Panel (8.0.0.370)
   PDF (8.0.2.413)
   Snippet (8.0.0.370)
   XML (8.0.2.413)
   XMLParser (8.0.0.370)
Hayden

1. You only pasted one log file (log0.log?), there is another more important log file: ExtensionManager.log you dind't paste.
2. Have you removed ALL mxi files from ALL subfolders of BOTH "C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Extension Manager CS6\EM Store" AND "C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Extension Manager CS6\EM Store" to separate folder? If yes, Extension Manager shouldn't hang.
3. Please make sure you have "Full control" permission to ""C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Extension Manager CS6\Configuration\DB\ExMan.db" and "C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Extension Manager CS6\Configuration\DB\ExManUser.db". You can check it in "Security" tab page of "Properties" dialog box.

XML publisher report not generating output for huge XML files

Changed Depreciation Projections Report output type to XML.
Defined a Data Definition and a new Data Template (RTF) for this report.
Ran the Depreciation Projection Report to generate the XML output.
Ran the XML Report Publisher report to generate teh PDF/Excel output of the above report.
Output generated for smaller XML files. When XML size is big, the program is running for hours without generating the output.
Teh RTF template is basically a matrix report in which the number of columns in the report is based on the number of periods the report is run for.
The same is not working in the Desktop version also. The system is hanging when i try to view the preview pdf.
The XML file size is approximately 33 MB.
Please let me know if there is any way we can increase the memory size to see the output.
Thanks,
Ram.

Need to generate a Index xml file for corresponding Report PDF file.

Need to generate a Index xml file for corresponding Report PDF file.
Currently in fusion we are generating a pdf file using given Rtf template and dataModal source through Ess BIPJobType.xml .
This is generating pdf successfully.
As per requirement from Oracle GSI team, they need index xml file of corresponding generated pdf file for their own business scenario.
Please see the following attached sample file .
PDf file : https://kix.oraclecorp.com/KIX/uploads1/Jan-2013/354962/docs/BPA_Print_Trx-_output.pdf
Index file : https://kix.oraclecorp.com/KIX/uploads1/Jan-2013/354962/docs/o39861053.out.idx.txt
In R12 ,
     We are doing this through java API call to FOProcessor and build the pdf. Here is sample snapshot :
     xmlStream = PrintInvoiceThread.generateXML(pCpContext, logFile, outFile, dbCon, list, aLog, debugFlag);
     OADocumentProcessor docProc = new OADocumentProcessor(xmlStream, tmpDir);
     docProc.process();
     PrintInvoiceThread :
          out.println("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\" ?>");
               out.print("<xapi:requestset ");
               out.println("<xapi:filesystem output=\"" + outFile.getFileName() + "\"/>");
               out.println("<xapi:indexfile output=\"" + outFile.getFileName() + ".idx\">");
               out.println(" <totalpages>${VAR_TOTAL_PAGES}</totalpages>");
               out.println(" <totaldocuments>${VAR_TOTAL_DOCS}</totaldocuments>");
               out.println("</xapi:indexfile>");
               out.println("<xapi:document output-type=\"pdf\">");
out.println("<xapi:customcontents>");
XMLDocument idxDoc = new XMLDocument();
idxDoc.setEncoding("UTF-8");
((XMLElement)(generator.buildIndexItems(idxDoc, am, row)).getDocumentElement()).print(out);
idxDoc = null;
out.println("</xapi:customcontents>");
     In r12 we have a privilege to use page number variable through oracle.apps.xdo.batch.ControlFile
          public static final String VAR_BEGIN_PAGE = "${VAR_BEGIN_PAGE}";
          public static final String VAR_END_PAGE = "${VAR_END_PAGE}";
          public static final String VAR_TOTAL_DOCS = "${VAR_TOTAL_DOCS}";
          public static final String VAR_TOTAL_PAGES = "${VAR_TOTAL_PAGES}";
Is there any similar java library which do the same thing in fusion .
Note: I checked in the BIP doc http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/bi.1111/e18863/javaapis.htm#CIHHDDEH
          Section 7.11.3.2 Invoking Processors with InputStream .
But this is not helping much to me. Is there any other document/view-let which covers these thing .
Appreciate any help/suggestions.

Excel Output for Standard Reports using XML Publisher

Hi All,
Customer wants to get Excel Output for the existing Standard/Custom Reports using XML Publisher. I followed the following procedure.
1. Changed the output to XML for Concurrent program ( Trial Balance - Detail )
2. Used the Existing seeded Template
3. Ran the Report using EXCEL as the output.
When I clicked on View Output, I am not able to see the Excel output. I am seeing the HTML tags in the output window. Verified that Viewer Options existed for Excel as follows:
File Format=Excel, Mime Type=application/vnd.ms-excel.
When I ran the report with PDF output. I can see the PDF output.
Ran the HTML output with new Viewer Option ( File Format=HTML, Mime Type=application/vnd.ms-excel) then I can see the output in Browser in the Excel format. I did this test after going through the Metalink Note: Note:316752.1
My question is.. Do I need always choose the HTML ouput in the options window to trigger the Viewer option for HTML. Customer may not like this idea. He would like to choose the Excel Output and see the output in Excel format either in the Browser or Microsoft Excel.
Can someone in this situation before help me out.
Thanks,
V

Questions rephrase:
1. Is the output is same for HTML and Excel options ?
2. Why the output is viewable with HTML option and not with Excel option ?
Customer has XML Publisher Version 5.0.1 and in the process of applying 5.6.1
Thanks,
V

Hi,
You would probably find it better to search on the PL/SQL forum as this is more their area than Apex.
From what I can see in there (and there are a number of examples that would help you), you need to do something like:
DECLARE
vPATH VARCHAR2(50) := '/DEV';
vFILENAME VARCHAR2(50);
vFILE UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;
BEGIN
FOR C IN (SELECT PRODUCT_ID, PRODUCT_DESC FROM PRODUCTS)
LOOP
vFILENAME := C.PRODUCT_ID || '.xml';
vFILE := UTL_FILE.FOPEN(vPATH, vFILENAME, 'W');
UTL_FILE.PUT_LINE(vFILE, '<xdr>');
UTL_FILE.PUT_LINE(vFILE, '<product_id>' || C.PRODUCT_ID || '</product_id>');
UTL_FILE.PUT_LINE(vFILE, '<product_desc>' || C.PRODUCT_DESC || '</product_desc>');
UTL_FILE.PUT_LINE(vFILE, '</xdr>');
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE(vFILE);
END LOOP;
END;I haven't included exception handling etc and you should check on the PL/SQL forum to see if there are better examples!
