Excel output for the xml publisher report when it is [b]scheduled [/b]

How to get the excel output for the xml publisher report when it is scheduled by a apps user? Like what is the user profile option (for the apps user who runs the report) and what are the other things that needs to be taken care of so that only this xml publisher report run by this apps user produces a EXCEL output (When scheduled) ???
Really appreciate it if any one can help me in this regards.
Thanks
Munna

Hi Munna,
For eBusiness Suite (apps user) the report output is stored the same way whether executed immediately or scheduled.,To get excel set the options > output format to Excel. Only the user that submitted the report can view it, or you can get the output file from the server. Or you can set the notify option so that a Workflow Notification is sent when the request completes.

Hi,
If you are doing some changes like add/remove of columns that has been used by reports query then changes in database can make reports to function in wrong way.

Problem with XML Publisher report when there are no detail records.

I am working on an Oracle XML Publisher procurement report (Oracle E-Business Suite R12) that starts with a budget amount that is imported from our financial system, then lists all requisitions and orders that are in process (not approved). The amounts of all those unapproved requisitions/orders are totaled using a Sum form field, to be followed by a field where the unapproved requisition/order total is subtracted from the budget amount (amount available). I am running into a problem when there are no unapproved requisitions. When I run the report for such instances, it completes with a warning -- here is what it states in the OPP log:
oracle.xdo.parser.v2.XPathException: Extension function error: Method not found 'sum'
I have altered my sum field on the RTF template to include an if statement in case of a null value...
<?sum (EXTENDED_COST)?> <?xdofx:if sum (EXTENDED_COST) = " then 0 end if?>
...but this does not work.

Hi,
You are on right track. Simply put summary field in header group and remember to set reset at property to Header Group Not Child and now you can use this field in format trigger.
Format trigger must be written on header frame.
Cheers !

Add publisher report to dashboard

Hi all
in 10g there was an option to add a BI publisher report to a dashboard.
I do not see that link in 11g. Does anybody know if this is still possilbe?
I want to try and click on a id number in one dashboard tab and have it link to a publisher report that accepts the parameter in another tab.
Currently i have set up a dashboard prompt that sets a presentation variable. This PV is the same name as the parameter in the publisher report.
Having trouble getting this going. Has anybody seen a good link / tutorial on how to integrate these two in 11g?
Thanks

Thank you! it is what i was looking for.
Reading through the docs it appears that when I should be able to see my publisher reports in the catalog view.
when i log in to OBIEE i only see the analysis that I created in OBIEE under the catalog tree.
I have to log into publisher to see my publisher reports.
According to the docs i should be able to see my publisher reports in the catalog view. And then just drag and drop one.
Any idea how I can see the publisher reports when I log into Business Intelligence??
Thanks

Bi publisher report issues with selecting multiple parameters.

Hi there I have a Bi publisher report when I query it for a single parameter it works fine and gives me the result.
But when I select multiple parameters Lets say I have selected 3 parameters and try to view the results it does nt give me a proper report. It leaves me some blanks and gives me negative values.
The report is working finr for one parameter In order to select two parameters I added the following code in the sql query
and ( coalesce(null, :JOB_ID) is null
or c.JOB_ID in (:JOB_ID)) .
Can some one please let me know if this is correct or should I have to add anything else in the query.
Even if I hard code it by saying JOB ID IN ('x','y','Z') and try to run the report it is not giving me exact values.
BUt when I run the same query in database am getting correct values..
Can anyone help me with this issue please??
Thanks

3. Can you get us an example how this will work?
4. Can you be more specific about the error you get and the output?

Wrong Search result for Employee Resp.lD when searching Sales Order

Hi All,
Happy new year first of all,
I encounter a problem when using search sales order in WebUI. I am using SAP CRM 2007 SP4.
I notice that the search result by using Employee Responsible ID as criteria, is returning Person Responsible
instead !
I entered both partner function in sales order document (Employee Responsible => BP 1234 and
Person Responsible => BP 4567).
Although in Search criteria selection I choose Employee Responsible ID, but when I put
the BP 1234, the search result is blank. And when I change the value to BP 4567, I can see the result
shows that document. But BP 4567 is Person Responsible, how come it gives the result for Employee
Responsible??
This is totally wrong! I couldn't find SAP NOTE or same issue mentioned here in SDN.
Did I miss it? Please kindly share your find out if you have same case or solution for this.
Thank you and will be rewarded.
Cheers,
Gun

Hi Robert,
Which config are you refer to in SPRO ?
Partner Function Determination ?
By attention to the Relat. Category change, we can not simply change it (although it can fix this
problem). I read the field info :
In many cases this is predefined in the system, based on the partner function category chosen. You can assign the corresponding relationship type freely if:
- you select the partner function category undefined partneror
- you have yourself defined the relationship category to
So did you try it? fixed the problem? or have you encounter further problem?
Rgds,
Gun.

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)

Searching for Data in the Report for a non-selected column in display.

Hello,
I have an interactive report as given below:
select user, dept_name, sal, description, title from hr;
Now, in the report display options I remove the title and description from the display as you know title and description are 2000 characters each.
If I show then it takes the whole page to display one record and with this option I can search any text in the Title or Description columns.
Now, I have hidden these two columns and when I search I do not see any records.
Can any one tell me how to achieve this behaviour.
What I am looking is, I do not show the column 'TITLE' or 'DESCRIPTION' and user show be able to search for any important data inside these columns.
Please let me know how can we do this.
Please point me to an already published article or solution or any help on this type.
Appreciate your help on this.
thanks

As far as I can see this will not work. You could use a trick and make a query like this:
SELECT USER, dept_name, sal,
apex_item.hidden (10, mgrdescription || title)
|| '<img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#some_nice_icon.gif">' title_description
FROM hrThis would not display the title and description but an image and it would give you a possibility to filter on those.

URGENT Printing a BI publisher report from a column link in APEX

I am developing an APEX report with a column link that will call a BI publisher report, the case is the link column in the APEX report will pass the item number to the BI publisher query.
At the moment this is what I am doing:
1- Create a hidden item on top of page zero. (e.g. PARAM1_VALUE)
2- Create a report query and a report layout (For BI Publisher) in the Shared Components. (e.g ITEM_REPORT)
3- Include the state session in the report query and reference that item in the query. (e.g. SELECT * FROM items where item_number = :PARAM1_VALUE)
4- Create an APEX report displaying orders with the item number as a link column.
5- In the Link column I set the report URL request to be "PRINT_SERVER=ITEM_REPORT".
6- In addition I set the PARAM1_VALUE to be #ITEM_NUMBER# on the link.
When I press on the link the BI publisher report prints but it doesn't display anything except the Headers, my understanding is that PARAM1_VALUE is not set with the item_number value when I press on the link and thus the query returns no results as when I remove the condition from the query i can see the report printing.
Please help as this is urgent

I opened the session and it is there with a proper value, it appears that whenever I enable the inclusion of session state in my shared components query the query returns no rows even if I am not using the item in the query.
So if my query is "SELECT * FROM items" it will display nothing, the only way to get the report data back is to untick the inclusion of the session state and remove any reference to the item from my query, then I will get the report with all my data (which is NOT what I am trying to do).
Thanks alot

Strange behavior in BI Publisher with long column names from BI Answers

Hello all!
I have created a BI Answers request with few calculated columns in form of
case when <condition> then <value if true> else <value if false> end
Then in BI Publisher Desktop designed a report ttemplate based on saved BI Answers request and noticed that for calculated columns their names look strange:
CASEWHEN_<condition>THEN...ELSE..._...END__
Some of the column names are about 100 characters long.
After running the report from Word found that for these "long length named columns" there's no data in the output.
Do someone else experience the same? Any workarounds?
Regards,
mr.maverick

This is because the length for the formula is restricted in publisher. you have to either reduce the size of the column name in answers or change the formula. another workaround is completely pasting the formula directly in the word template instead of placing the formula inside the form field. you can add maximum of 300 characters i guess. you can edit the formula for the form field in the form field options formuals menu.
