RTF templates- Issue with inconsistent outputs

Hi All,
I have an issue with rtf templates.We are on XML Publisher 5.6.3 with EBS with Bursting.Bursting is set at G_HEADERS in the contorl file.
I am using the <?start@last-page-first:body?><?end body?> function.It displays amount total for single page output and amount total only on the last page for multiple pages output.The above logic works perfectly when I have single header data in the XML file(single G_HEADERS).
<XX_MAIN>
-<LIST_G_HEADERS>
<G_HEADERS>
Lines Data(tree sub levels)
</G_HEADERS
<G_HEADERS>
Lines Data(tree sub levels)
</G_HEADERS
<G_HEADERS>
Lines Data(tree sub levels)
</G_HEADERS
</LIST_G_HEADERS>
</XX_MAIN>
However when there are multiple headers(G_HEADERS) in the same XML data file at the same tree level, all the outputs get generated as minimum 2 page outputs.Even though the data fits in 1 page for some of the G_HEADERS, it shows continued on the first page and just prints the total on the last page along with the header.
I appreciate your help with this.
Thanks,
Lavina

Hi,
I'd like to know if anyone out there has come across this issue before..

Need help on resolving the issue with adobe output server - error MSG256 & MSG 210 not in .ini file

Hi,
I am using adobe output designer 5.5 for designing the label template and using the Adobe output server for printing process.
In the Jfmerge.ini we given the condition "DiscardUnknownFields=Yes" for ignoring the unwanted fields in the .dat file.
During the process, I faced some issue with the output server in printing the labels.
When the .dat file is placed in the Data folder of adobe, the label is not getting printed in the printer.
The file is move to the error folder and an error file is getting generated which contains the error message as given below:
090826 02:59:02 D:\Program Files\Adobe\Central\Bin\jfmerge: [256]** Message Msg256 not in .ini file **
090826 02:59:02 D:\Program Files\Adobe\Central\Bin\jfmerge: [210]** Message Msg210 not in .ini file **
2009/08/26 02:59:02 D:\Program Files\Adobe\Central\Bin\jfserver.exe: [314]Agent exit message: [210]** Message Msg210 not in .ini file **
The output server is a new installtion and I verified the Jfmerge.ini file. It contains the message details of Msg256 and Msg210.
I also verified the license and it is a valid licence.
Kindly help me out in solving this issue.
Thanks
Senthil

I assume this is too late to help you, but other might need a hint. I had the same problem, and found some possible causes that I posted on http://codeznips.blogspot.com/2010/02/adobe-output-server-message-msg210-not.html.
It is quite likely that you are missing some double quotes around the path specifying the ini file (-aii), if its installed under "Program Files".
Hope this helps anyone....

Intermittent issues with video output initialization

Hi Guys,
I have received a new (i5, 15') Mac-book Pro more than 9 months ago. About 6 months ago it started having some serious intermittent issues with video output. Those issues are numerous and different every time, but all seems to lead to GPU problem. In chronological order:
1)Started showing static colors as flickering and white color as blue.
2)Blue screens in bootcamp and hangs in mac os
3)Startup problems (fail to start)
4)Startup problems resolved with firmware patch, but video fails to initialize during startups:shows black on mac os, and distorted green during bootcamp.
So right now I am stuck with #4. The main issue is that it is intermittent - sometimes it starts to happen and sometimes it does not. Is there any way I can make apple replace the unit or the video-card? I did bring it to a apple certified service center, but they did not give any crap, even when I was able to demonstrate it to 2 people in there and gave me back the unit after failing to reproduce the problem on their own. I have all those problems in video and photos, but I don't see anywhere I could send them besides this forum.
Some of the evidence (I have much more):

You are still under warranty. *Call AppleCare*
"Is there any way I can make apple replace the unit or the video-card? I did bring it to a apple certified service center, but they did not give any crap"
No you cannot make Apple do anything. What you can do is call _Apple Customer Relations_ in your country. You can call AppleCare & ask politely & firmly to be transferred over to Customer Relations if there is no direct phone number like there is in the US. Relay to them what you stated in this post. See what they can do for you.
You posted in the wrong MBP area (Original). I have requested that a HOST move your post to the proper forum MacBook Pro (2008 and Later). There will be no need for you to repost.

Issues with PDF output

Hi,
I have a report registered for language=English and territory=Netherlands. But when I run the report, I cannot see the output. I get the following message:
"Unable to find published output for this request"
The report fetches data and creates the XML correctly. I have registered the template with Language = ENglish and Territory = Netherlands. I run the above report from a Netherland installation.
Any pointers how to debug this.
Thanks,
Ashish

Hi Aashish,
I suggest you to check the RTF Template of your report ....as if your xml output file on submit request form--->diagnostic --->view xml ...is generated ... it means that your data defination file is perfectly fine but there is issue with your rtf template....may be some of grouping or tag is not put properly...
one thing i want to suggest you to pls save that data file as .xml extension and upload in rtf u designed on youe desktop.... check theprview if its coming fine or not.
let me know if u still facing the same problem.

Rtf Templates created with BI Publisher 11.1.1.3.0 not working in APEX

I created templates using BI Publisher v10 Desktop that I used to create Report Layouts in APEX and everything worked just fine. However, I've upgraded to BIP 11.1.1.3.0 Desktop and the rtf templates don't work. I suspect that the problem is with the graphs.
Is there something in my APEX environment that needs to be upgraded or modified to be compatible with the BIP v11 templates? Are templates created with BIP v11 compatible with APEX Reporting?

I'm having a similar issue with 11.1.1.3.0
My RTF templated uploaded to APEX correctly, and seems to load and generate ok. The OUTSIDE formatting on the report (title, etc) all seem to show fine, but the actual repeating data block doesn't show any of the data or columns or boxes..... Just the column headers.
VERY FRUSTRATING......

RTF Template Issues.

Hi,
I have 2 issues with a custom rft template for Printing POs from EBS 11.5.10.2 using XML Desktop ver 5.6 Build 45.
1 I have 2 tables on the template corresponding to 2 different groups.. I will display only one table of data dynamically based on the type of the document (Standard PO or Blanket Release).. This logic is working but when the second table appears for blanket relase, there is lot of empty space between the column lables (which is static for both the tables) and the table data.. It looks like though the first table is not displaying, it is still using that space.. Is there a way that i can remove the empty space ?
2. When i generate the PDF from my rft template, the alignment of the table is not right (e.g the lables on the table are not getting aligned with the actual data) even though it looks aligned exactly righton my rtf template.. Can you explain me what seems to be the problem.
Thanks,
Shree

Did u get the solution for this ?
if not
Shoot me a mail
[email protected]
with your template and XML,
and description what you want ?
will have a look @ it.

RTF Template: sums with nested groups

Hi all,
i've got quite a pickle of a problem it seems ...
my data structure looks something like this:
<COMPANY>
--<STORE>
----<DEPARTMENT>
------<ITEM></ITEM>
----</DEPARTMENT>
--</STORE>
</COMPANY>
multiple companies can have multiple stores, which in turn have multiple departments, which also in turn can have multiple items.
my select statement looks something like this:
select company_id,
store,
department,
item,
sum(qty) as my_sum
from
table_1, table_2, table_n
where ...
group by ...
order by company_id;
my xml data template grouping looks something like this:
<group name="G_company" ...
--<element name="E_company" ...
--<group name="G_store" ...
----<element name="E_store" ...
----<group name="G_department" ...
------<element name="E_department" ...
------<group name="G_item" ...
--------<element name="E_item" ...
--------<element name="E_item_total" value="my_sum" ...
------</group>
------<element name="E_department_total" value="G_item.E_item_total" function="SUM()" />
----</group>
----<element name="E_store_total" value="G_department.E_department_total" function="SUM()" />
--</group>
</group>
my report currently looks something like:
------------------Store--------Dept---------Dept---------Item-----------Item---------------Store-----------Dept----------Item-----------Item
Company---Townsville---TDept_1------TDept_2-----TDItm1----------TDItm2-------------Newcastle------NDept1----------NDItm1--------------NDItm2
---CompanyA------2----------------4------------3---------------2---------------1------------------1-------------------3----------------2-------------------4
---CompanyB------1----------------2------------4---------------5---------------2------------------1-------------------6----------------3-------------------1
if i just focus on the Store --> Department --> Item, i achieved this in my RTF template by doing something like the following:
<table>
--<tr>
----<td><?for-each-group@column:G_store;E_store?>Store</td><td><?for-each-group@column:G_department;E_department?>Department</td><td><?for-each-group@column:G_item;E_item?>Item<?end for-each-group?> <?end for-each-group?> <?end for-each-group?> </td>
--</tr>
--<tr>
----<td><?for-each-group@column:G_store;E_store?><?E_store_total?></td><td><?for-each-group@column:G_department;E_department?><?E_department_total?></td><td><?for-each-group@column:G_item;E_item?><?E_item_total?><?end for-each-group?> <?end for-each-group?> <?end for-each-group?> </td>
--</tr>
</table>
as you can see, the store --> department --> item go across the report horizontally.
my problem is i want to have grand totals for each column, like:
------------------Store--------Dept---------Dept---------Item-----------Item---------------Store-----------Dept----------Item-----------Item
Company---Townsville---TDept_1------TDept_2-----TDItm1----------TDItm2-------------Newcastle------NDept1----------NDItm1--------------NDItm2
---CompanyA------2----------------4------------3---------------2---------------1------------------1-------------------3----------------2-------------------4
---CompanyB------1----------------2------------4---------------5---------------2------------------1-------------------6----------------3-------------------1
---Total------------3----------------6------------6---------------7---------------3------------------2-------------------9----------------5-------------------5
so i did a SUM on each of the E_store/department/item_totals like:
<?sum(current-group()/E_store_total)?>
now that works for E_store_total ... but not for E_department_total and E_item_total!
it seems BI Publisher doesn't like sums used with inner loops.
because if i extract just the column for E_department, the grand total value at the bottom is correct!
but once i put back the outer store loop, it breaks.
what i am currently getting with this is:
------------------Store--------Dept---------Dept---------Item-----------Item---------------Store-----------Dept----------Item-----------Item
Company---Townsville---TDept_1------TDept_2-----TDItm1----------TDItm2-------------Newcastle------NDept1----------NDItm1--------------NDItm2
---CompanyA------2----------------4------------3---------------2---------------1------------------1-------------------3----------------2-------------------4
---CompanyB------1----------------2------------4---------------5---------------2------------------1-------------------6----------------3-------------------1
---Total------------3----------------4------------3---------------2---------------1------------------1-------------------3----------------2-------------------4
it is doing the grand total for Store correctly, but it just gives me the first row for the other grand totals.
i have tried:
1. using the CUBE function in my SQL query, which gives me the results i want with all the totals i want, except i cannot seem to translate it into XML.
2. trying to use the pivot table option but i can't seem to ever get it to work the way i want.
3. using a separate sql query to retrieve the grandtotals but that doesn't work either because of the multiple looping required.
i'm at a complete dead end, any help would be really appreciated!
ps. i'm a very fresh newbie

Hi Vetsrini,
thank you very much!
when you said to use current-group i was confused because i thought i was using it, but when i opened up the RTF template i realized you meant the actual looping.
so instead of doing:
<?for-each-group@column:G_DEPARTMENT;E_DEPARTMENT?>
<?sum(current-group()/E_STORE_TOTAL)?>
i should have been doing:
<?for-each-group@column:current-group()//G_DEPARTMENT;E_DEPARTMENT?>
<?sum(current-group()/E_ITEM_TOTAL)?>
thanku!

Issue with query output

hi there,
I have an issue with the display of hours 00:00:00 in the query output in BW.
The system assumes it as 0 or blank and therefore display it under unassigned hour.
I am using the reference of 0TIME for this hourly display.
When I checked the 0TIME i could not find the corresponding SID value for 00:00:00 hours.
Can anybody please advise what needs to be done?
Thanks in advance,
Kind regard,
Kate

Hi Kate,
I am experiencing the same problem as you: an InfoObject, created referencing 0TIME, represented in the BEX Query as "#" when the Value is "00:00:00".
How did you work it out?
The Formula Variable strategy is not applicable in this case because 0TIME is not a key figure !
Bye

Strange issue with PO output

Hi All,
I have an issue with PO form.
It is Sapscript. After transporting the form to quality system for second time, I noticed in the output that Only for one window the output was not as per the code. I checked in SE71, new code was there but when I checked in debugger mode(while displaying the form via ME23n) the old code was still there. For other windows the code is just fine.
It seems quite strange to me.
Please let me know if anyone has a clue.
Thanks!
Regards
Archana

Hi
Check in DEV system whether the code is removed or commented properly.
Activate again and Re import
If you have access to SE71 in QAS (rarely), then check the script code.

Strange issue with cvs output

I have a report that works fine.
in the report I have the cvs enable output turned on.
when I click on the link to get the output and it opens in excel, all the columns are there, but one of the columns has the header but is blank on data. in the screen report its there, but not in cvs. has anyone see this type of issue before?

I have seen odd behavior like this, not this one exactly, when downloading reports to csv. I found that if the data in a column has certain characters, it would mess up the layout of the csv report. These characters were usually "non-printing" characters that were in a certain cell. The one that messed my report up was the character that indented the data within a cell. I also had intermittent issues with double quotes in the data and "soft" line breaks in the data (entered by pressing ALT-Enter key sequence in the original spreadsheet that we had uploaded). Open the csv file in an editor like Notepad++ or even MS Word. and see if you can figure out what is going on. Look carefully in the area where the discrepancies first apear; it could be coming from another cell.

Video Issues with HTML5 Output

Hello there,
I have a project with several videos on seperate slides that are located inbetween normal content slides.
Works fine with SWF output and HTML5 output viewed on the pc, but...
when I test the course on an iPad the video plays quite fine the first time I watch it.
However when I jump back to the video the screen stays black for the duration of the video.
When there is audio in the video the audio plays but the screen stays black!
What I happening here?
Someone any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Ruwen

Hello there,
Have you inserted multi slide synchronized video or event video?
and which format of video have you inserted?
Please tell the complete version of Captivate 6 (help> about captivate) and which version of iOS is it?
You can also try improve the slide quality to optimized or 24 bit in the properties of the slide (for every slide).
Thanks.

Known "stutter" issue with HDMI output of standard def DV?

Standard def 60i material, via a Geforce 660 ti and HDMI out, has motion artifacts -- readily seen on pans. Doesn't look like reverse frame order, but the motion stutters a bit.
Is this a known issue? Thanks all.

I wanted to reply that I just discovered that my Lenovo AIO no longer likes my converter. I'm not sure why as I have proven that it works by using it on another device. The other device is a laptop running Windows 7 Pro.
On a haunch, I plugged in my HDMI TV which has a native HDMI connection and it WORKED. So, I suppose I'm back to the drawing board and this is indeed not a Lenovo hardware issue.
Does anyone know of any issues with using a HDMI to VGA converter on a Lenovo B540 AIO? Link below:
http://www.startech.com/AV/Converters/Video/HDMI-to-VGA-Adapter-Converter-for-Desktop-PC-Laptop-Ultr...
I have the one above but I just noticed there is a HD2VGAE which I'm not sure what the difference is.
Thanks!

BI Publisher -RTF Template issue: Output report not maintaining text with bullets and numberings.

Hi All,
I am currently working with generating reports using BI Publisher. My issue is that when I will preview the output(in PDF and RTF) format's of the newly created template, then, if the data coming from DB have some bullets or numbering, then the BI publisher output will ignore the same and will show the complete data as one single line.
For example if the data in the DB Field is like below:
The XYZ has the below sub-parts:
ABC : This again has two parts:
abc1
abc2
CDE
FGH
Then this data will appear as below in the BI Publisher output report's:
The XYZ has the below sub-parts: • ABC : This again has two parts: o abc1 o abc2 • CDE • FGH
I want the format of the data (with bullets and number's) should be maintained in the BI Publisher Report as well, but I am unable to find any solution for the same.
Any help on the same is much appreciated.
Deep Bhoj

in your query will u get all the columns always null when column1 is null
in your template for each group u can write like below
think G_1 as group in your xml
<?for-each:G_1[COLUMN1!='']?><?COLUMN1?><?COMMENTS?><?end for each?>
or if u are not sure u get null in both places every time u can write like below
<?for-each:G_1[COLUMN1!='' and COMMENTS!='']?><?COLUMN1?><?COMMENTS?><?end for each?>

Try using substring instead of substr. You may want to try LOGO1 and LOGO2 as texts first just to ensure that the condition is working.
<?xdofx: if substring(OU_NAME,1,3)='MAC' then LOGO1 else LOGO2 end if?>
Hope this helps.

Issue with XML output

Hi All,
We have a XML report output which is sent to users email as a word and pdf attachment. I see that the word attachment which is being sent to the user has RTF extension. I tried to modify the file extension to docx and test it to see if that works. The email comes up with the docx extension but when I try to open the attachment it asks for encoding and no matter which encoding I choose the o/p doesn't display properly.
Does anyone have an idea of how to overcome this issue so that I might be able to send the user the word o/p with docx or doc extension instead of RTF.
Any suggestions are highly appreciated.
Thanks!!

Hi,
Might be worth logging a SR on this.
