Templates Problem in BI Publisher

Hi All,
I was new to BI Publisher, I had installed BI Publisher,BI Publisher Desktop successfully. Created an sql report in Publisher and created a template in MS word. The problem is,I had published the Template for a BI Publisher Report. when I try to view data for the report in BI Publisher using template I was getting following error "The report cannot be rendered because of an error, please contact the administrator".
I had installed the tool just now and worked on that.any preferences I need to set? Please guide me. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Anil.

Hi Anil,
The Same error had occured for me too. I have a temporary solution for this. Check the xdo file of the report, you can find the xdo file from C:\OraHome_1\xmlp\XMLP\Reports\<report folder> (location depends on the installation folder in your machine). in the second line of the xdo file the following link - xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/oxp/xmlp" - should be present. The line should be like <report version="1.1" xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/oxp/xmlp" defaultDataSourceRef="<source>">
Put the missing link in the xdo and generate the report. This error occurs in some machines after saving the report configuration in BIP.

Problems converting MS Publisher 2007 documents to PDF

Hi I have MS Publisher 2007 and create documents using MS Publisher then convert them to PDF without ANY problems - until about 2 months ago. Nothing changed other than the usual updates from Adobe and Microsoft and now I cannot convert ANY files from MS Publisher to PDF - neither through the MS Publisher utility or the Adobe utility. Crazy thing is it is ONLY a problem for MS Publisher - every other Office product prints to PDF fine. I cannot even save to PDF with Publisher - I get the MS error message "Publisher cannot save the file". When I try to create a PDF using Adobe it progresses through the conversion process and acts like it has created the file - but I cannot find it in the location specified and it's nowhere on my PC. There's no error message created by Adobe Acrobat either. We've tried to understand what the problem is and for some reason when I reduce file size UNDER 1MB MS Publisher and Adobe behave and create the PDF! Over 1MB and nothing doing.
It's driving me crazy as we choose to use MS Publisher for all our creative stuff - not because it's cheap but because the interface is more user friendly and I guess we're used to MS products.
Details:
MS Publisher - 2007 (12.0.6535.5002) SP2 MSO (12.0.6535.5002)
Part of Microsoft Office Ultimate 2007
Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro - Version 9.3.4
Part of Design Suite CS5
I would REALLY appreciate it if someone could PLEASE advise how we can fix this problem.

***** Actually, girls and guys I think I have found the problem!!!!!
It's not just pictures that can cause the "Cannot Save File" message it's also fonts.
We were using Myriad Pro in all our Case Studies and up until a certain date 2 months ago it was great all could be printed and there were no problems. Then for some reason - and I have since discovered the font Myriad Pro has a licensing issue on our PC's - all our Case Study templates were unable to be converted and we were having issues all over the place.
I went through the advice contained in these posts (and also onb the Adobe website) and removed images one by one to see what was actually causing the problem. Nothing, no result the issues still existed. Then I hit upon the idea of changing the font to Arial and BINGO!!! it worked!!!! So, my advice is to ensure that your images are free from errors (whatever that means!) and you're using fonts that have no licensing issues and Publisher will be able to convert them no problems.
Now, as for the advice Microsoft gave us...well I am as frustrated as everyone else is that we had to find the answers ourselves and MS couldn't have developed a tool that would pick up these issues for us in the document itself. C'mon Microsoft you make this great product - make it even better and give us better diagnostic tools please.
Oh and by the way, when I did the same document in InDesign (which was a pain in the a...) it handled the font issue no problems - explain that one Microsoft.

Site Template and webparts in Publishing Pages

Hi
I've created a couple of webparts in SPD and added these to the pages in the Pages Library (Publish). I then export the site as a template (switching publish off first) and create a new sites from the template. Unfortunately the weparts are missing from
the publish pages but are available in the new site Webparts Gallery. The Site Pages have the Webparts available but the Publishing pages dont. When I exported the SC root web I switched off publishing for the site.
Why aren’t the weparts appearing on the page created in Pages Library. Ive switched on publishing now in the new site but its made no difference. ?
I found this blog but it doesnt appear to provide a solution :http://blogs.technet.com/b/stefan_gossner/archive/2007/09/19/save-site-as-template-option-and-the-publishing-feature.aspx
Thanks

As I said, templates are not supported when you turn on publishing. That's why there is no "save site as template" link after you turn on Publishing in a Site Collection. I assume you are using one of the hacks to navigate directly
to the page that lets you save the site as a template, since the link isn't there. That will work for some sites, but clearly won't for yours. There is no workaround. Site Templates aren't supported in Publishing environments because they
aren't reliable. If you want Page layouts then you need publishing. If you use publishing then you can't use site templates.

Maddening problem - Timezone and published calendar

OK folks, this is the problem:
I'm publishing a calendar on .mac. All of my entries on .mac are 7 hours later than I've set them in iCal, even through my iCal timezone and my system preferences timezone are the same (Europe/Lodon). The published timezone on the browser page also claims to be Europe/London, so why on Earth are the times different?
Any ideas? Big thanks to anyone who can help...

I spent something like 6 hours last week trying to tweak things in the .ics file to sort this out and came away with nothing.
Short of writing a script to change the actual time, I'm at a loss.
Before going the script route, I'm going to play with changing the .ics file to a vCal file and see if that helps.
What I found most frustrating is that if I took the .ics file and stripped out all references to time zone, I still ended up with an event that shifts time. With no reference to time (including the 'z' which the specification details as an indicator of UTC), I'm at a loss as to understand the shift.
The GroupWise server does use a timezone designation, so my only other guess is that it automatically assumes UTC for any file without a timezone attributed to it and then adjusts accordingly. Perhaps if I can figure out why "my" Pacific time zone isn't recognized by the server, I'll have an answer.
I can't seem to find good documentation on the GroupWise end, but it obviously sounds similar. Maybe looking outside the .ics spec is the answer. I found reference on the MS site to using vCal, so maybe there is hope.

Code added to template not working after publishing

We want to track the usage and see who is hitting the pages and where they are hitting them from. A developer at our company who wrote some code for us to be able to do this using an includes file. When we place the code directly into the HTM page using notepad (after publishing) it works fine. When we put the code into the template (.HTT) and then publish it, that code does not appear in the published page.
Is there a setting in the template that would not let us throw a line of code for a server side include in the RoboHelp WYSIWYG editor? Or how do you add such code to the template and have it pull into every page it displays?
Using RH8, publishing WebHelp and not using RH Server.
Thanks.

This question is related to webhelp, not Microsoft HTML Help (CHMs) so I have moved it.

Problems using smart publishing wizard

Hi, i am having problems using smart publishing wizard.
Basically i am publishing my entire sample project to new
location to remote file location.
Its starts publishing but after reaching about half way it
sends error message
" Publishing has been aborted. A sharing violation accessing
../../filename.cpd "
Has anyone got this problems. please help me to resolve it.

Hi there
Perhaps try closing the project before you attempt to
publish?
From what I'm seeing here, you are publishing source files.
Normally one is only worried about publishing WebHelp output files.
Cheers... Rick

XML Publisher Template Problem

Hi
This is very basic question as I am new to XML/BI Publisher
I am using templates in iRecruitment for Offers. I am facing problems when I am formatting numbers and uploading the templates.
Problem is when I see the offer letter from Application, it generates pdf with following format
120u000n00 whereas number should be 120,000.00
My number format is as follows
$#,##0.00;
I am using Word 2007 and saving the file as rtf document. Uploading the document to R12.0.4

What is your locale?
<?show-page-total:TotalFieldName;'Oracle-number-format'?>
"BI Publisher supports two methods for specifying the number format:
• Microsoft Word's Native number format mask
• Oracle's format-number function
Note: You can also use the native XSL format-number function to
format numbers. See: Native XSL Number Formatting, page 5-126."
"To use the Oracle format mask or the Microsoft format mask, the numbers in your data source must be in a raw format, with no formatting applied (for example: 1000.00). If the number has been formatted for European countries (for example: 1.000,00) the format will not work."
Is more than one format model being applied? That will cause problems too.

Publishing Site template problems

Has anyone come across this. Can you offer some insight.
A site collection administrator has created a new site using the Publishing site template.
Not long after the site is created, all sites under that web application slows down. At first all users noticed the problem. However, after a while it only affects other site collection administrators and farm administrators. Other users don't see a problem.
We deleted the site and the issue went away.
After some testing we found that she could create the site with the blank site template and this didn't cause problems.
Another post was very helpful. It suggested that there was a problem with the draft version of the default.aspx. But why would it work with the blank site template?
Does anyone have any suggestions on how we can troubleshoot this.
The logs don't show very much. The only thing that led us to the problem was that the site kept showing up in the logs when i turned on verbose logging. I was going to try fiddler but I haven't been very successful using this in the past. Does anyone else
have any ideas.

Hi,
As the web application stopped working after creating the publishing site, there might be some issue caused this case.
Could you please check the event log and ULS log to see if anything unexpected occurred?
To check event log, click the Start button and type “Event Viewer” in the Search box.
For SharePoint 2010, by default, ULS log is at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\LOGS.
You can check the ULS log by the methods here:

Adobe AIR Output using Unipane Template - Problem in Publishing

Hi,
I have created new Adobe AIR browser based help using the Unipane template. When I generate the output, I specify a folder path in the Start Page field and click Finish. I can see the output excatly I have prepared when I select the first topic in the same folder.
But the problem is when I copy the folder and paste in the new location and click the first topic, it shows the template only, my content is missing. Because of this I could not send my output to the client.
If any one please guide me What should I do? I have prepared an entire Help system but now I could not send it to client. Please guide me.
Regards,
Ar.Raj

In another thread (now deleted) AR Raj has posted that he cannot locate the previous thread with the same problem.
I am adding AR Raj's post here as it relates to this thread.
I will look later to try to find the post but if anyone else remembers it, please add the link in this thread.
I have created a help system using the Unipane template of Adobe AIR feature and when I open the first topic of the help locally in my system, it displays with the skin I have selected when initially generated. But when I try to host the help in the Internet using IIS Mgr, the help open with the default skin 'Black Pearl' with a default message at the bottom 'Powered by Robohelp' eventhough I have used the skin 'Aqua Grey'. I have also replaced the message with my client name, still it opens with the same message. The probelem arise when I try to host the help system, but locally in my system it works fine.
Mr.Peter Grainge told me that this issue was raised already and it got answered. I have searched Adobe AIR forum for a day long, but I could not locate the answer.
If anyone can help me to solve this, I have to deliver it to the client who repeately ask me about the Help system.
Please anyone guide me to correct this.

Turkish Character and Check Box "?" Problem in XML Publisher

In aplication and XML Publisher I must use Turkish Characters e.g. 'ş','ı','ğ','ç','ö' and check boxes. In html preview there is no problem, I can see all of them correctly. Hovewer in PDF preview in XML Publisher and also PDF output in Oracle Application all these Turkish Characters and Check Boxes looks like question mark (?). How can I solve this problem ?
Thanks for helps....

Hi Tim,
Related to Special Italian characters, when I try with "Courier New" font with static data,the XML Preview display those characters.But when those chars come from XML source file,they get vanished.I tried two cases:
Case1 ) IN EBS,I have attached courbi.ttf(font file) to the template manager(followed as per instructions in Font mapping section in User Guide).
When I try running the report ,its getting completed with Warning.
Case 2) I have also modified xdo.cfg ( as per Doc ID:400755.1 www.metalink.oracle.com)-
In both cases ,I am not acheving the desired results.
Please let me know where I am going wrong.
Thanks and Regards,

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......

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 !
