Run BI Publisher report (with Excel template) on Windows 7

Hi, All.
Sorry for my English :)
I have some problem:
I use BIP standalone for my reports. Some reports are in Excel (with Excel template). When I run it on PC with WinXP - all is OK. But, when I try to run it on PC with Win7, then Excel is opening and writing this "Native file format and file extension does not mismatch. Before open be sure of file does not damage" (this is my translation). If I try save file on the hard disk, then file is 0 kb. But if a report has RTF-template, then it opening normaly on Win7's PC.
Have you any ideas?
Thanks!

option1:
The query should be same @ detail level, only the template has to be different for summary and details.
@runtime, user can choose to see the detail/summary
Disadvantage, if the data is huge,
advantage , only one report.
option2:
create two separate reports summary and details
and create diff data and diff layout and keep it as different report
Advantage, query will perform based on the user run report, summary/detail, so that you can write efficient query.
Dis advantage , two reports query/template to be maintained.

  • XML Publisher/Report Definition - Excel Template Issue

    Hi everyone,
    I'm Diego, and I've been getting some issue to upload/download Excel templates using XML Publisher and Report Definition.
    I've been working over Real Estate Module and I get an activity to make an Excel Report. I've made all necessary step to make an excel template; create a .xls template, uploading the file to XML Publisher Repository, creating a Report Definition associating a RDA, and so on...
    When I generate the file in the Web (DV), it doesnt work; when I download the final excel, it doesnt appear any information. It comes just the statics texts and formatting, the real data information inside xml doesn't appear at excel.
    I've made a lot of tests and changes, but without success.
    FYI, I've already made a .rtf template and it worked well.
    I'd really apreciate if anyone help me or at least having any clue about it.
    Thanks so much,
    Diego Santos

    Hi my friend,
    First of all, thanks for reply.
    I've checked the template definition, and it seems OK.
    I've created the XML Publish Repository with Object Type = TL, in excel template I didn't put any additional info, (the field Template Type = TYPE_EXCEL_TEMPLATE cames by default).
    As I told above, i've made many tests..with and without grouping, but no success.
    However, when I test it locally it works. When I test the .xls + xml using Template Viewer runs well. But when I download the .xls on Web, it didn't retrieve any data information. =/
    I've already downloaded this doc, and I'm using it as support.
    If you need any more information, pls let me know that I'll tell you in a sec.
    Thanks a lot,
    Diego

  • XML publisher report with a template file missing

    I get the following error
    Active template file not found in the template definition <TEMPLATE_NAME> for date <EFFDT>. (235,2515)
    PSXP_RPTDEFNMANAGER.TemplateDefn.OnExecute Name:GetActiveTemplateFile PCPC:15872 Statement:346
    but in
    Reporting Tools > XML Publisher > Report Definition > Template tab
    I did have the setting Effective date, what cause the problem?

    Have a look at following post and run the sql in this post to see if your template definition is missing.
    http://peoplesoft.wikidot.com/xml-publisher-template-file-missing
    You could also run Application Engine PSXPCLEAN to clean orphan rows.
    Are you running the report online or through PeopleCode?
    In last case make sure the effdt is set correct in PeopleCode.
    Also have a look if your server time settings are correct.

  • Unable to print xml publisher report in excel format in R12

    Hi All,
    We are unable to print xml publisher report in excel format in R12. We were able to see the excel output but it's printing junk characters while printing and it's printing without any issue with PDF format.
    Please let me know how to fix this issue.
    Thanks,
    Raja

    Hi Raja,
    I presume you have gone through the debugging process of testing your template locally first to get the expected result.....
    If yes, this note might probably be helpful "Changing Output Format to RTF or Excel in XML Publisher Request Does Not Display Output Correctly (Doc ID 404512.1)"

  • Bad performance when open a bi publisher report in excel

    We use bi publisher(xml publisher) to create a customized report. For a small report, user like it very much. But for a bigger report, users complain about the performance when they open the file.
    I know it is not a native excel file, that may cause the bad performance. So I ask my user to save it to a new file as a native excel format. The new file still worse than a normal excel file when we open it.
    I did a test. We try to save a bi publish report to excel format, the size shrink to 4Mb. But if we "copy all" and "Paste Special" value only to a new excel file, the size is only 1Mb.
    Do I have any way to improve that, users are complaining everyday. Thanks!
    I did a test today.
    I create a test report
    Test 1: Original file from BIP in EBS is 10Mb. We save it in my local disk, when we open the file, it takes 43 sec.
    Test 2: We save the file in native excel format, the file size is 2.28Mb, it takes 7 sec. to open.
    Test 3: We copy all cell and "PasteSpecial" to a new excel file with value only. The file size is 1.66Mb, it takes only 1 sec to open.

    EBS or Standalone BIP?
    If EBS see this thread for suggestions on performance tuning and hints and tips:
    EBS BIP Performance Tuning - Definitive Guide?
    Note also that I did end up rewriting my report as PL/SQL producing a csv file and have done with several large reports in BIP on EBS.

  • 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.

  • Run BI Publisher report from an application directly to  a printer.

    Dear All,
    I have an HTML page (with JavaScripts),
    I want to Run BI Publisher report from this page directly to a printer. (and send parameters).
    Can anyone help me, and send me Demo URL or Demo code to do this?
    Regards,
    Tovit

    Tovit
    you are going to have build out a servlet that the page can call. The servlet will need to implement the supported web services to schedule a report. The schedule can include the delivery options ie to a printer. So you would create a schedule that runs the report immediately via the scheduler and then to the printer.
    I dont currently have any servlet demos but the services are pretty well covered in the user docs.
    check them out and give it a try, if you get stuck let me know

  • Labview- .EXE file with excel template

    How to create a .exe file from the .vi file with excel template. Since I am giving only .exe file, the client wont be having the excel templates. So please tell me how to build a .exe file with templates which will be invoked by mainfile.vi. Please let me know if U guys know. (Now in my mainfile.vi I am using local file location path to invoke)

    Hi saamy,
    I have tested it out at my PC and it is working.
    I have tested with MS office report and put the template "Excel Template.xlt" under VI's folder (C:\temp) and make the exe file.
    After the exe file has been moved to other place(C:\build) and has been executed, the exe file try to locate  "Excel Template.xlt" under both C:\temp and C:\build. As long as the template is the same folder with exe file, it is working.
    Pls refer to attached file.
    Hopefully it will help. Please let me know the result.

  • XML Publisher Report with PL/SQL

    Hi
    Like to know how to develop the XML Publisher Report with PL/SQL, i did the following
    1. created a pkg like as below
    CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY APPS.TEST_XMLTAG_PKG AS
    PROCEDURE main (errbuf OUT VARCHAR2,
    retcode OUT NUMBER
    ) IS
    BEGIN
    DECLARE
    ctx DBMS_XMLGEN.ctxHandle;
    xml CLOB;
    BEGIN
    ctx := dbms_xmlgen.newcontext('select * from scott.emp');
    dbms_xmlgen.setrowtag(ctx, 'MY-ROW-START-HERE');
    xml := dbms_xmlgen.getxml(ctx);
    dbms_output.put_line(xml);
    Fnd_file.put_line (fnd_file.LOG, XML);
    END;
    END;
    END TEST_XMLTAG_PKG;
    this pkg produces the output with xml tag in the view log.
    I have registered the conc program & xml rtf but it does not produce the output in PDF, , I am not able to get the xml tag when i click the Diagnostics --> View XML.
    can you please let me know the next steps involved.
    Regards
    Yram

    I think the problem is because there is no begin and end tag. save the xml from the logfile and open with xml editor or IE.. then you will see the problem.
    add Begin and end tag...then you should be fine.. i.e
    fnd_file.put_line(fnd_file.output,'<EMP_DATA>'); -- begin Tag
    tx := dbms_xmlgen.newcontext('select * from scott.emp');
    dbms_xmlgen.setrowtag(ctx, 'MY-ROW-START-HERE');
    xml := dbms_xmlgen.getxml(ctx);
    dbms_output.put_line(xml);
    Fnd_file.put_line (fnd_file.LOG, XML);
    fnd_file.put_line(fnd_file.output,'</EMP_DATA>'); -- End Tag
    Hope this helps..>Good Luck

    Hello Friends I have designed 4 templates 1 FOR BMW - Auto, 1 for bmw - HR
    etc.
    Question # 1 : I now want to make the portal display 4 tabs Auto, HR, FMA, FECS
    by making a copy of 0analysis_pattern
    So if user execute the report selecting HR Tab it execute the report with that template.
    Please help me how can i set up this do I need a master template that links all 4 or I can do this by some portal setting we are on BI 7.0 2004S SP14
    Question#2 Also I have a requirement of making custom template for dasboards where i want to use that template for specific report. please suggest with steps on how can I execute only specific report with special template that mean my special template will overwrite the settings 4 tabs Auto, HR, FMA, FECS and that report will be executed with special template only,.
    Thanks
    Soniya

    1. Create one more template in WAD by copiing 0ANALYSIS_PATTREN. we have an TABs Web Item. You need to use this web Item in your WAD Template. You need to do this using Commands. When ever you click on any Tab, it should call specific Bex Query (Not Web Template you Created).
    1. Create one temple which copy of 0ANALYSIS _PATTREN.
    2. drag TABS web Item .
    3. define the Sequence of reports in TABs Web Item Properties.
    4. Set the Properties of the ANALYSIS Web Item upon execution of every Tab. you need to set these parameters using Commnds.
    2. Create a brand new template by coping 0ANALYSIS_PATTREN. make necessary changes to new template use this template for where you want. this template will be different from earlier 4 Tabs one.
    Hope this helps.

  • Mimes in "Print Web Report with Excel"

    Hi all,
    i am using the "How to.." Paper to implement the functionality for Printing Web Reports with Excel. I also Modify the Table during the rendering with the Modify Table Interface to set some mimes instead of inidcators in one column. The Export
    into Excel Works Fine but after saving that Report in Excel, and reopen it i have
    to confirm a Security Dialog / re-login . I think this is because of the mimes which refer to the WAS.
    Now my Question :
    Is it possible to get a result ( Exported Report into Excel with MIMES ) and avoid
    a re login. I mean, to export the Mimes also.
    Many Thanks in advance for your Help.
    Best Regards
    Ali Touzlatzi

    Hi Prakash,
    Thank you so much for your reply.
    I looked for LRSR_XLS_EXPORTF01 under program, I found the program but when I clicked into it, it prompt "there is no object list for INCLUDEs"
    We have the export as excel implemented for sure. Do you think someone changed the name, or this name cannot be changed. I am new to ABAP too, but I am a programmer. Can you guide me the best way to trace this program?
    Again, I appreciate you help.

    3. Template will show the data from both query in 1 report..
    Is there any other way to proceed using datasource API...
