Please could anyone help me with a solution.

Hi Uday,
You are making number as a string, by adding a character :) , so it will be displayed as string with space and not as number.

XML Publisher report not printing German character ü properly

Hi
We have a BI PU Report which gets the XML from the 10g report.
When I run the report in Oracle Apps, the XML generated by the report has the correct name, but the pdf output doesnot show the correct name on it.
Name (in XML file): *<FSE_NAME>Kühn, Thomas</FSE_NAME>*
Name printed on pdf output: KÃ¼hn, Thomas
This issue doesnot occur when I run the report on the local system using the xml file and rtf template.
Please let me know if anyone has any idea about this issue. Attached is the xml file, rtf template and the pdf output.

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.

XML Publisher Report not displaying Chart/Graph in Excel Output

Hi All,
We are currently on Oracle EBS 11.5.10.2
I am facing an issue with XML Publisher based report when i try to fetch the output in Excel.
We have created an RTF in which i have embedded a graph. While viewing the output in PDF everything seems to work fine.
however when i try to run the report with output as Excel the Graph is not displayed.
Can you please let me know if i missed anything.
Also it would be very helpful if someone can tell me how to get the output of Excel in .XLSX format.
I have seen in various forums that you need to select the output type as Excel 2007, but i am not getting any such option while submitting the report.
I am on EBS version 11.5.10.2 do we need to install any patch to get the output option.

Reports with output to excel - special characters not displayed correctly.

Hi,
I have a portal with data from 5 continents. In many places special or national characters are used in names. My portal can show most of these characters correctly and so can my version of Microsoft Office Excel. When text with these characters are copy/pasted from the screen to an excel sheet, they are also shown correctly in excel. The problem arises in portal reports, where output is set to Excel, then special characters are often displayed as strange double characters, for example á is shown as Ã¡ . Does anybody have a solution to that?
Thanks
Arne

No answers have been posted yet and now I have found a solution myself. The portal report is run and output set to Excel. The resulting file is opened, and a new row is inserted in the top of the sheet. In the first field in this row is written the characters *\xEF\xBB\xBF*. It is called a UTF-8 BOM, and when written in the start of a text file, it will tell the program that opens it, that UTF-8 encoding is used.<br><br>
The file is saved with the file type CSV (semicolon separated) (*.csv) and excel is closed. When you click on the CSV-file, it is opened by excel, and now all characters with accents, circumflexes and umlauts are shown correctly.<br><br>
The solution was found here: http://www.roosmaa.net/importing-utf-8-csvs-in-excel/

PDF output in character mode

Hi,
We are trying to print a XML out put in PDF format using dot matrix printer. The problem is, the dot matrix printer is printing in graphic mode, i.e. each line is printed as two halves. We need each character to be printed as a whole character. Due to graphic mode printing the report is not legible. Suggest some font that can be used in the template which will appear legible in dot matrix.
Or any other way to print the PDF output in character mode.
Regards,
Anupam

Hi,
this sounds like a printer driver / firmware issue. I'd suggest to discuss that issue with the printer vendor and maybe get support from them to get the printer working for PDF files.
Another option is to put some filters in the print queue to convert the PDF into other formats, bitmap or postscript or whatever the printer understands.
I don't think this is a problem related to BI Publisher, as long as the PDF displays fine on your screen.
best regards,
David.

How to convert Oracle reports previewer output into delimited file.

How to convert Oracle reports previewer output into delimited file if the report has more than 1000 pages.
I tried with previewer option File --> Generate to file --> Delimited file, but the report engine is crashing.Not generating .TXT file.
I observed that this option is not working for more than 400 pages.
I am using Oracle reports 6i version.
Plz suggest me to generate .TXT file from Report previewer.

You can specify a delimiter (a character or string of characters) to separate the data (boilerplate or field objects) in your report output in either of the following ways:
On the command line using the DELIMITER keyword.
In the Delimited Output dialog box or DelimitedData Output dialog box (displayed with File > Generate to File > Delimited or File > Generate to File > DelimitedData) in Reports Builder.

How to open a form from Oracle XML Report .xls Output?

Hi All,
We have a requirement wherein we have one complex SQL query, requirement is to fetch the data from that query and show it to the user. So far, so good. We can either create a report thru' UTL file to show the output to the user or can create a XML report whose output can be in the excel format.
Now user wants to have a hyperlink i.e. when he clicks the BSA (Blanket Sales Agreement) from the report output, it should be able to route him to BSA screen (oracle form), so that he can directly correct the issue with that corresponding BSA on which he clicked.
i.e. requirement is to create a a hyperlink from report output which will route the user to that oracle form with the BSA queried.
Not sure how can we implement this. If anybody has come across this type of requirement, please share your ideas and the approach used so as to accomplish this. Any inputs on this will be highly appreciated.
Cheers!
-Sumir

Hello Sumir,
we create reports in an XML format using http://matzberger.de/oracle/spreadsheet-en.html.
Within these files you can create hyperlinks to a forms application like
http://<applicationserver>/forms/frmservlet?config=xy&p_autoinit_module=ab&p_autoinit_arg=123
With these parameters we call a default forms module (welcome screen) and then start module ab and execute a query for 123. The user then can directly access the data he needs.

Get a Report crashed error while running report using the mode character

Hello,
I'am getting an "Enable to run report - Report as crashde" issue only when I'am running reports using the mode character. The same report with desformat pdf never has any problems. I have changed the englife (set to one) increase the cachesize but I still have the same issue.
I'm using report 6i and Oracle 8i.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
Laurent.

Hi Thanks for the response,
In fact the report in character mode is working fine in my environnement but is not working on my customer environnement (which is supposed to be the same as mine). I was thinking of cache size issue or something like this ?

Dynamic Selection on report not working

Dear all,
I have several reports on which the dynamic selection is not working. For instance, the report CN43N. The report is outputting all data in a year i.e it is disregarding the condition I specified in the dynamic selection fields.
Is there some configuration to make to this report so that the dynamic selection works?
Thanks for ur help.
Nas

Also Nelmaz,
I have just checked OSS notes and found below note helpful to you:
Note 1059465 - CN43N: Dynamic selections for scheduling data of WBS elemnts
Symptom
You cannot use transaction CN43N to create dynamic selections for scheduling data of WBS elements (table PRTE). You can use transaction CNS43 to do so.
Hope this helps.
Please assign points as way to say thanks

Running the report in Bitmap and Character mode

Hi,
We have the reports which can run in both the character mode and Bitmap mode. The only problem I'm facing is font size in the character mode report. If the report is run in Character mode then the font size of the report will be greater. As the sizer is bigger, I'm getting the X symbol in the place of report. Can i reduce the size of the font. I'm using the font Tahoma (8 points). Reports 6i Version and Windows Xp is the OS.
Regards,
Alok Dubey

Hi this may solve u'r problem
In Oracle Reports Designer, bitmap mode, you can make "C"
bold and in a different font and point size than "c". This
is because you are generating postscript output.
Postscript is a universal printer language and any
postscript printer is able to interpret your different
design instructions.
In Oracle Reports Designer, character mode, the
APPLICATIONS STANDARDS REQUIRE the report to be designed in
ONE FONT/ ONE CHARACTER SIZE. Character mode reports
generate ASCII output. In ASCII you cannot dynamically
change the font and character size. The standard is in
effect so a report prints as identically as possible from
both conventional and postscript printers.

Barcode printing in XML report PDF output

Hi All,
I want to print barcode of invoice number / purchase order number in the XML report PDF output.
Anyone please suggest me with your ideas and experience.

Hi Bogdan,
The steps mentioned in the doc is what i did in order.
I couldn't understand the step # 13 & 14.
Log in as XML Publisher Administrator
Navigate to Administration --> Font Files --> Create Font File
Available fields are Font Name and File
--> for Font Name, choose any descriptive name
--> file will browse your PC to locate the font file
Navigate to Font Mappings -->Create Font Mapping Set
Mapping name is the name you will give to a set of fonts.
Mapping code is the internal name you will give to this set
Type: 'PDF Form' for PDF templates. 'FO to PDF' for all other template types.
Create Font Mapping (this allows you to add fonts to a set)
Font Family is the exact same name you see in MS Word under Font. If you don't use the same name the font will not be picked up at runtime.
Style and weight must also match how you use the font in the RTF or PDF layout template. Normal and Normal are good defaults.
Language and Territory should remain blank (NULL) unless you have a strong business reason, as these fields can cause the font not to be picked up at runtime.
Navigate to Configuration General -> FO Processing -->Font Mapping Set. This can also be done at Data Definition and Template level, via the corresponding Edit Configuration button on those pages. The hierarchy is Site-> Data Def -> Template.
Select your new mapping set.
Make sure the font is not referenced under File --> Properties --> Custom in the RTF template file.
Under General, set a Temporary Directory. The font will be stored under a /fonts directory at runtime, initially created the first time the font is used.
Upload a template that uses your special font and test using preview or by submitting a concurrent request.

Report not generating with blob

SO I was trying to create a report to insert an image. I saw and followed the following resource: http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/2006/05/inserting_blobs_into_your_repo.html
In the template builder for MSWord, where I grab the XML data containing the Base64 code for the image, the output is all there. - so yes the actual query grabs the base 64 version of the image, as per http://sergekoganovitsch.wordpress.com/2009/05/02/blob-base64-encoding/
Now the situation is there is a temporary table that stores all the fields, and the image, along with the apex session_id. So the report query looks like this:
SELECT
p.full_name
, blob_to_clob_base64(p_photo => p.photo) photo
FROM profiles_tmp p
WHERE p.session_id = :APP_SESSIONSo.. first to make sure it was all working properly, I created another report query specifying a specific session id in the where clause that I know contains a photo - all works fine. However, when I apply the layout to the query above, and test it - it comes out containing no pages. Even if I test it when going through the application where there would be a valid session id, still no pages.
I have tried changing :APP_SESSION to v('APP_SESSION') and to_number(:APP_SESSION) to no avail.
If i remove the image bit, and just have the field as <?PHOTO?> , it outputs the base64 contents fine - but obviously, I want the actual image in the report, not the base64 code.
IF i open the pdf file in a text editor, I get the following:
