RTF file Template Builder Clarification

I have a custom report which uses XML publisher. The RTF file has constraint with page break. i.e. If total records exceeds 30 then print another page. The problem is 30 records are embedding in single page, but going into another page. so lot of pages are required to print the whole report. I updated the page count from 30 to 20 so that it will fit properly. But still it is not updating.
here is the procedure I used to update the filed.
Template Builder->Tools->Field Browser
selected the Field, then in the edit box, I updated, I clicked UPDATE button, then REFRESH button and then CLOSE button.
It is not saving the field rather I lost all XML end tags. I am not sure why it is happening. Is there any other place which we have edit/modify the logic.
Since it is not saving, I am editing some column and trying to save it. But I am getting warning message after the execution of report. The reason is xml end tags are not present.
appreciate your help.
Thanks!!

Sounds weird. How are you testing the modified RTF?

How to generate XLIFF File from RTF file

Hi,
I have my rtf file template. I need this report in English as well as in Russian. Ho to generate the xliff file for Russian translation.
Thanks in advance!
Arvind

You can basically upload your rtf file to the oracle apps templates repository. There you can export the xliff file, and bring it back to your desktop. Edit the file ( the xml field target ), and upload it back to oracle apps.
Let me know if you have questions

Import template defined in rtf file to another rtf file in BI Publisher

I have two RTF files:
(1) summary.RTF
(2) detail.RTF
detail.RTF has template named “subreport” with following syntax:
<?template:subreport?>
<?end subreport?>
I am importing and calling this template in summary.RTF.
<?import:file:///C:/Hitesh/Work/detail.rtf?>
& <?call-template:subreport?>
The report is working fine with template builder (like in Word “Load XML” and then preview and two RTF files are at my local machine).
Now,
I have created one report in BI Publisher(10.1.3.2) named “Summary” in folder named “Test” to deploy my report.
I have uploaded these two RTF to BI Publisher with name (1) summary & (2) detail.
But it’s not showing the report because of invalid import syntax.
I have tried following syntaxes for import,
<?import:http://bipapp:7777/xmlpserver/~development/Test/Summary/Summary.xdo?_xt=Detail?>
<?import:xdo:Detail.rtf?>
<?import:http://bipapp:7777/xmlpserver/~development/Test/Summary/Detail.RTF?>
But it’s not working.
Clearly the problem is in the import syntax.
Can anyone please help me to correct the import syntax?

Hi Tim,
Below is the URL when I enter in browser, it is asking for download "Detail.rtf".
<?import:http://10.253.80.59:15101/xmlpserver/servlet/res?t=bin&f=/TestReport/StatementSummary/Detail.rtf?>
so, i have placed this URL in Summary.RTF.
Still it's giving error--> "Caused by: java.util.EmptyStackException"
If I remove the import and call to "subreport" template, then summary is displaying wihout detail part. Further if I run Detail.RTF then it is also running individually.
Now, I am thinking that the problem is with "?" (question mark symbol) in URL, so, I have tried another like below:
<xsl:import href="http://10.253.80.59:15101/xmlpserver/TestReport/StatementSummary/StatementSummary.xdo?_xt=Detail"/>
Here the url:
http://10.253.80.59:15101/xmlpserver/TestReport/StatementSummary/StatementSummary.xdo?_xt=Detail
If i execute this url in browser then it is rendering the Detail.rtf.
This is also not working, it's giving following exception:
"Caused by: oracle.xdo.parser.v2.XMLParseException: End tag does not match start tag 'SCRIPT'."
Thank you,
Hitesh

Could not overwrite rtf file on report template in BI Publisher

Hi All,
I want to upload the rtf file for Bi publisher report. There is already an rtf file and I have edited the file and want to overwrite it . It shows that the only way is to delete the template and again
create the template by uploading the rtf file. I tried to overwrite the existing template with edited rtf but it shows the error. Is there any other options rather than deleting the template and uploading again for edited rtf file.
Thanks,
Virat

Hi,
it seems, sometimes everyone would like to draw a vertical reference line at the data date of a line chart, so I would like to bring this thread up again.
I assume, that there is no vertical reference line on line, bar or area charts, because of the following reason: The vertical reference line is made for X1Axis; that's why it's called X1ReferenceLine. Line, bar and area charts don't have any X1Axis, but a O1Axis (ordinal axis):
from Graph.dtd: "

<!ELEMENT O1Axis EMPTY >

<!ELEMENT X1Axis (ViewFormat?) >
There is no such thing as <!ELEMENT O1ReferenceLine EMPTY > in Graph.dtd.
Is there any other solution, why it seems not to be possible, to draw a vertical reference line on line charts?
Kind regards,
Tobias
ps: Regarding the difference between X-Axis and ordinal axis, I take the explanation from http://goorman.free.fr/ZedGraph/zedgraph.org/wiki/index1240.html?title=What_does_%27Ordinal%27_mean%3F .

How to sort Data in XML template (rtf) file?

Hi, I have an oracle 11i custom report (rdf) with an xml output to a PDF. There is a formula column in the report. Now I need the data to be sorted on this formula column. As we cannot sort on formula column, i have decided to find a way to sort it in the data in the XML template. But I don't really know how to sort and also where to specify the sort tag in the rtf file. I appreciate your response.
Databse version : 9.2.0.8.0
E-Biz Version : 11.5.10.2
Oracle Reports Version : 6.0.8.27.0
Oracle BI version : 10.1.3.2.1
Note : I posted this question under : XML General forum also. But did not get any response. I assumed that may be thats not the right place to post it as my report is in e-Biz environment.

Hi
As long as you don't have your ^field commands grouped inside a ^group the order in the .dat file is not important. Your last command
^field BG_DOC_LN__LN_AM
246624.12
should populate field BG_DOC_LN_AM wherever you place it on your form. Obviously you need to name the fields according to your ^field commands and not just use tab (move to next field).
Shout if this was not what you are asking.

Change the default file (template file in RTF) for a seeded R12 AP report

I have a requirement to change the layout of the a seeded AP report "Selected Payment Schedules report". I logged in as XML Publisher responsibility, queried the seeded template APINVSEL and tried to update "Default file" field to use my own RTF file instead of the seeded APINVSEL.rtf. The field is not changeable. I tried 1) putting end date to the template, 2) disabled the concurrent program or changed the program output format to text instead of XML. I still cannot update the default RTF file after doing any of the above.
Please help. Thanks!
Mike

Garech,
I have the same issue. I copy the data definition with updated rtf. When the user select a template in Payment Manager and submit payment process request, the report is one of the four concurrent programs run automatically. User told me there is no option for her to select the xml template. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Hi Scott
Welcome to the forum.
As you may know Apple does not announce anything it does before release, and we know as much as you do on the issue. Which is nothing.
We are all hoping that Apple will release Pages 11 quickly and address all our issues. Based on long experience, I am not holding my breath. Eventually we will see some features which will look good in marketing and most of the real problems will likely be ignored.
You are free to let Apple know of your issue:

Error when exporting RTF to XSL-FO with the template builder for word

I am currently trying to export an RTF file from word 2007 to the xsl-fo format. I am using the latest version of BI Publisher desktop as well since I wanted to see if that solved my problem as well. I currently get the following error when trying to convert the file and I know it is an error generated by windows but I am not sure how to fix it.
The error I receive is: This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Folder Options control panel.
Any help with how to fix this error would be appreciated.

Hi
I dont think this is a BI Publisher issue per se. It looks like Word does not know what to spawn to get the document to open.
You need to create the association - you do that in the Folder Options control panel. Open the Windows Explorer app (I think in Vista they protect you from yourself - you need to dbl click the Computer icon) - I think you can then set file options somewhere in there. Just google it for the specifics

Hi,
I see that your data is having this format
<LIST_G_REQ>
<G_REQ>
<BUYER_ID>DENIECE</BUYER_ID>
<BUYER_GROUP>1</BUYER_GROUP>
<BUYER_SUBGROUP>ADMIN</BUYER_SUBGROUP>
<REQ_TOT>1</REQ_TOT>
</G_REQ>
</LIST_G_REQ>
So to group by BUYER_SUBGROUP, your code will be
<?for-each-group:G_REC;BUYER_SUBGROUP?>
<?end for-each?>
I dont know what you mean by BUYER_GROUP_TOTAL and BUYER_SUBGROUP_TOTAL here.

Dynamic image in the template builder plug-in does not work

Hi all,
The documentation says:
Direct Insertion
Insert the jpg, gif, or png image directly in your template.
+...This works obviously+
URL Reference
1. Insert a dummy image in your template.
2. In Microsoft Word's Format Picture dialog box select the Web tab. Enter the following syntax in the Alternative text region to reference the image URL:
url:{'http://image location'}
For example, enter: url:{'http://www.oracle.com/images/ora_log.gif'}
+...This works too when I hardcode an url as url:{'http://www.google.com.tr/images/firefox/mobiledownload.png'}+
Element Reference from XML File
1. Insert a dummy image in your template.
2. In Microsoft Word's Format Picture dialog box select the Web tab. Enter the following syntax in the Alternative text region to reference the image URL:
url:{IMAGE_LOCATION}
where IMAGE_LOCATION is an element from your XML file that holds the full URL to the image.
+...This, however, does not work.+
I use Apex' report query tool and My query is like
select 'http://www.google.com.tr/images/firefox/mobiledownload.png' IMAGE_LOCATION from ... (a single result set for my template)
the xml data is generated with an IMAGE_LOCATION tag. I load it to word template plug-in. The Url successfully displays in the report if I make it a plain-simple field.
But when it's in the image format->web->alt text as url:{IMAGE_LOCATION} no image displayed.
I need to keep this design procedure simple so a simple word user could design a report via using just template builder plug-in. I don't wish to explore the xsl-fo area...yet.
Could you tell me why I can't get this url:{IMAGE_LOCATION} to work?
Regards
PS: My BI version: 10.1.3.4.1
