Text output from 11i Reports to Excel - bad Format

Hi All,
We have a report in Oracle Apps 11i(11.5.10) with Text as output format. We would like to open the file in Excel format.
We have done the recommended setups from the metalink note ID 316752.1.
Output is generated in Excel, but the format is not proper. Column level data is not displayed on Cell wise in the Excel, instead all the output is
dispalyed in single column in the Excel.
Any pointers on how to format the output to align each column in the output to the individual cell in the Excel.
Or else.. how to generate the output to Excel file?
Regards,
Ram

Consider a 3rd-party tool as a solution. For a list of such tools, see http://www.kenhamady.com/bookmarks.html.
There is at least one Report Manager on that list that can automate the process of exporting a Crystal report to PDF and converting the resulting PDF to an image (BMP, JPEG, WMF, EMF, EPS, PNG, GIF, or TIF). You can call that Report Manager from your application via a command line api.

Kind regards for the reply.
I have surfed all the notes. My problem is.. I can open the text output in Excel. But the format is bad.
Output is nor properly alinged to the cells in the Excel.
And being the report is .RDF, any way we can do on the format?Hi Ram,
1. Are you using XML publisher to get the excel output?
2. If yes did you set the layout to excel when you run the concurrent request on the SRS screen?
Thanks

Text output from Oracle Reports 6 and Apps

I am trying to write a couple of reports with Oracle Reports 6i that will be used as a comma delimited text file for import into other applications. I have the reports written and registered with Oracle Apps. However, I am having two problems that I can not figure out. (1) When the report is
exectuted and saved as a text file, it will not import into other programs such as Access, giving an error that one line contains too many characters. If I open the text file, there is a blank line (actually a new line with no data) at the very end. When I delete this new line so the cursor is
positioned after the last character of text and save the file - it will import fine. How do I avoid this problem? (2) One report has a lot of columns, and the data always comes out wrapped, even though it isn't
wrapped in the report writer that I can tell. The "wrapping" option on the text editor is turned off, so it looks like a new line is actually being created. Any ideas would be appreciated!

Generating TEXT output from RTF template/reports

Hi ,
We have been working with XML Publisher for a long time now.. and we have come across some requirements such as
1. Page break in TXT report output
2. Page Headers after every 'X' lines in TEXT output.
This was easily achieved with RTF template and PDF/HTML/RTF output, but not with TEXT output in eTEXT template.
So we started looking into two approaches
1. Generate TXT from PDF/RTF/HTML output(generated from RTF template), though it will addon to the time, but we are looking for this approach. We are looking for some JAVA api's which can help us to extract text from PDF/HTML/RTF while preserving the format.
2. Pass the TXT generated by eTEXT template to our custom util , which will split the report in diff. pages.This will get complex as we recieve more and more reports.
We have also tried hacking the RTF parser used in XML P so as to get a TXT output or using XSL-FO objects in eTEXT parser, but we could not get anything of our help.
Does anyone have any pointers in this.
regards
Gaurav

You can burst with eText and I have done it
successfully.
I don't believe pagebreaks are an option in eText and
I don't think it makes sense either since your
generating a flat-file and not a customer or internal
facing document. Does that make sense?
Also, if you would like you can use the
BIPublisherIDE, this code can be converted pretty
easily to handle jcp. There is a an oa framework
version I have developed but I haven't posted on my
blog yet. I plan on adding a bolt on for java
concurrent programs soon. it's really pretty simple
just haven't had the time.

Thanks Ike for your reply.
I agree with your points on TXT files, but in our case,the reports are generated in TXT format for the customer so we are looking for the above mentioned features.
I have gone through BIP IDE and its a wonderful small utility which eases the task of BIP development.
As I mentioned in my original post that we are currently processing the generated TXT report using a custom util. in JAVA to get the desired output in TXT again.
I assume thats not what a JCP would do,so I am looking to explore that too.
As I understand the process for report generation is
1. Generate XSL from eTEXT template.
2. Get the XML data from DB using XDO
3. Apply XSL on XML to get the required template.
If we are looking to achieve some customizations then we need to have the XSL generated with those customizations.
In this case, where do we plug in the JCP to alter XSL or am I missing something.

CPU usage while generating text output from reports

hi
while we attempt to generate the text (delimited) output from reports and when the query fetches more than 1500 rows, the cpu usage stays around 100% for long time paralysing the operation...
we faced the problem when we attempted to generate text output for around 10000 records.
any suggestions?

EBS: Email XML publisher output, from After Report Trigger in Data Template

Here is what I'm trying to do:
-- In EBS (11.5.10 CU2), I'm using XML publisher (5.6.2) data template and layout template to generate Output files (PDF, EXCEL etc)
--In the Data Template's AfterReport Trigger, I'm using the Concurrent Request Id to locate the Output file name and trying to Email that output file.
Problem:
-- When the AfterReport trigger code is executed, the code is NOT seeing the output file and hence the file is NOT emailed.
Observations/Questions:
-- From what I observe, the Output Post Processor ( that generates the Excel / PDF files) is running AFTER the code in AfterReport trigger... and hence the AfterReport trigger is Not quite seeing / able to access the output file.
So, the sequence of execution seems to be:
-- Before Report Trigger
-- Data Query (SQL statement)
-- After Report Trigger
-- Output Post Processor
Because the AfterReport Trigger is running before the Output Post Processor, it is Not able to see the output file. Is that a True statement?
If Yes, how else can the DataTemplate access the Output file?
If No, what could cause the AfterReport trigger to not see the output file?

Because the AfterReport Trigger is running before the Output Post Processor, it is Not able to see the output file. Is that a True statement?
I believe so, as the OPP works on the output of the Report after the Report has completed execution.
You could use the same approach as we do for bursting the report to different users. Write a Java Concurrent program based on "oracle.apps.xdo.oa.cp. XMLPReportBurst" with delivery channel Email to send the email output. You would need to add code to launch the Concurrent child request in your AfterReport Trigger:
function AfterReport return boolean is
jreq_id number;
begin
srw.message (100, 'DEBUG: AfterReport_Trigger +');
jreq_id:= FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST ('XDO','XDOBURST','','',FALSE,:P_CONC_REQUEST_ID,'Y',chr(0),
If (jreq_id=0)
then
srw.message (100,'Request id is zero');
end if;

Is it Possible to upload the output from Oracle reports To Access database

Hi All,
Wish you All a Very Happy New Year.
I have a query.Is it possible to
upload the output from the Oracle reports
to the Access database???
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
TIA
sg

Hi sg,
Research the DDE option.
Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) is a mechanism by which applications can communicate and exchange data in Windows.
I have imported data into the excel spreadsheet using DDE built in functions. I am sure it can work with MS Acess as well. If not, then you need to create a 2 step process .. reports -> excel -> access.

XML output from Repostiory Reports

Hi,
Any ideas why the table definition report (cktci.rdf) data from the Repository Reports cannot be generated to XML?
I'm running Designer ver. 9.0.2.91.9, Reports ver. 9.0.2.0.3 . XML is not on the destination format list in Repository Reports, but if you type in xml, the DESFORMAT parameter is correctly set to it. However, only part of the data model is output to the xml file:

The biggest problem is that the main group G_APP from the report definition is not generated to XML, in spite of its parameter "Exclude from XML Output" being set to No. Any ideas why this happens?
Regards,
Tomasz

hello,
you can specify the look of the XML tags in the "XML Settings" property of the respective field. so let's say your datamodel has the colun called NAME then by default the xml tag would look soemthing like this
<NAME>this is the value </NAME>
now if you set the value for the
"XML Tag" property and the "XML Tag Attributes" property to e.g. facet and name="his-name"> (the * is just to terminate the the values in this text) the generated XML tag would look something like
<facet name="his-name">name="his-name"></facet>
columns that are not in the datamodel (like i asume you mean by <stuff> and <futurestuff> you can create by adding formula columns into your datamodel. formula columns have the same "XML settings" section in their property sheet and can be modified accordingly.
hope this is what you are looking for.
thanks,
ph.

Problem with Alt Text output from thumbnail image of Lightbox widget

I’m having a problem with the Lightbox widget not producing alternative text based on the image properties. I’ve set ALT text for the image properties on both the larger Ligtbox image as well as the thumbnail. But the HTML output from Muse does not include the ALT text on the thumbnail version of the image. Here’s an example:
    <div class="popup_anchor">
       <div class="Thumb popup_element clearfix" id="u4409">
        <a class="anchor_item grpelem" id="untitled"></a>
        <div class="grpelem" id="u4433">
         <img id="u4433_img" src="/images/n0060292x292.jpg" alt="" width="292" height="292" />
This may be a problem that came in a previous release of Muse. I have a few older examples where ALT text is produced, but it’s no longer updated if I update the Image Properties.

I'm seeing the same problem. Looks like a bug to me. Any ideas as to how we can get this on Adobe's bug fix list?

Can't export from ECC report to Excel 2010 with more than 65 K Rows

I see several posts about Excel 2007 and the 65K row limitation, but we are rolling out Office 2010 (Excel 2010) and find that it still will not allow download of more than 65,000 from an ECC report screen.
Excel 2010 is supposed to handle over a million rows, and user is receiving an error message that they can not do this.
Will SAP allow download to Excel 2010 of more than 65K rows?
Are there Excel settings, or GUI levels / settings we have to have ?
Ruth Jones

Details from the end User:
When you export line items from any detailed line item transaction in SAP that supports exporting to an excel format, SAP will only allow you to export 65K+ lines, equal to the number of line items that were available in the Excel 2003 format. If you have more than that many line, you have to download the file as u201Cunconverted.u201D While you can then open the u201Cunconvertedu201D file in excel, it is not properly formatted correctly, and may contain page headers and footers that need to be deleted. In Office 2007/2010, excel was extended to 1 million+ line items. When will SAP excel integration be upgraded to expand beyond the old 65K limit on number of exportable line items in excel format?
For example, transaction FBL3N is used to display line items in GL accounts. Line items are routinely exported for further analysis in Finance. GL accounts often have more than 65K line items. When you try to export these results to a spreadsheet format, you will get a message that the list is too large to be exported. However, if you select the unconverted format, you will be able to export the file. Here is an example: (Note that this is only one example with one transaction, there are many more SAP transactions that have this same issue.)
From the Menu, she if following the path List --> Export --> Spreadsheet
Receives the pop-up box entitiled: "Export List object to XXL", with words, "An XXL list object is exported with 71993 lines and 20 columns.   Choose a processing mode". Radio button choices of Table or Ptivot Table. She chose Table.
Then receives a message that (at the bttom of the page), List Object is too Large to be Exported.   Help says this is message PC020. But offers no further information.

HTML output from Maven report

Is there a way to get HTML output from the Maven report? When I do a site generation, I see pmd.xml in the target directory and a flexpmd.html file in target/site, but flexpmd.html is essentially empty. I don't see any configuration option for this. The "regular" PMD plugin always outputs HTML and the XML output is an option (although it defaults to on): http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-pmd-plugin/pmd-mojo.html#format

Actually, flex-pmd-maven-plugin 1.0.RC4 understands this in the configuration tag:
<outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/site</outputDirectory>
<targetDirectory>${project.build.directory}/site</targetDirectory>
With this, "pmd.xml" and "flexpmd.html" are placed in the site folder, but "flexpmd.html" is replaced later with the empty site report template. So, no real gain here.
Any ideas on how to integrate the "flexpmd.html" file with the site reports?
