Tools similar to BI Publisher

Hi,
Kindly let me know whether there are any other Oracle tool available similar to Oracle BI Publisher.
Thanks

Hi user592716 - Have you got a real name??
You really need to look at what your needs are.
If you want a seriously powerful report formatting and distriution tool, that conforms to the xml standards, then BI Publisher should be high on your list.
It depends on your needs at the time.....
I use BIP extensively for my customers now - also APEX - another Oracle market leading product - and others - depending on the customer needs.
But if you need a heavy-weight document formatting and distribution engine, you're going to go a long way before beating BIP.
BIP is at the the top of my list for document formatting and distribution.
I think there are a few others on this forum who might agree.
Dig in if you want some serious results, and some really good support from this forum.
BIP rocks!!
Mike

  • Does Mac have a tool similar to snippy or snagit? Do not use Windows. Need to copy data off archived online newspapers.

    Does Mac have a tool similar to snippy or snagit?
    I do not have Windows.
    Need to copy data off archived online newspapers. Unable to do so with screenprint, etc.
    Heard windows has a tool called Snippy, looked at Snagit, but read free download agreement and it reads a bit 'fishy', as the download is only free for 30 days, etc and it talks about fees etc. 

    Mac does have two utilities:   Snagit for Mac and LittleSnapper.  There are a few others.  Snag it for mac is just a better "clippings" thing.  It will not scan your image.  There are OCR products available for Mac which might be able to take your clipping document and scan it back to text.
    Snagit Mac is here:  http://www.techsmith.com/snagit-mac-features.html
    To see OCR stuff do a google search for:  Mac OCR Software
    And you'll get quite a few.

  • Are Aperture's editing tools similar to or better than PS Elements?

    Are the editing tools in Aperture similar to or better than PS Elements?
    I'm an amateur photographer - I need images for my web site - plants and gardens, mostly, I have a perennial plant nursery.
    I've been using PS Elements 2.0 to manipulate images, mostly rotation, sharpen resizing, adjusting contrast....
    Aperture sounds very interesting - the tools for viewing and comparing images sound more graceful and easy to use.
    Thanks - paul

    Out of interest, I went over to the Adobe Lightroom forums and found the following:
    "Lightroom is aimed at being a workflow for handling raw camera images doing mostly global corrections. Photoshop Elements is meant for handling processed images mostly and allows you to do fine local adjustments
    Global means adjustments which are applied to the entire image such as tonal correction etc whereas localized corrections are something like removing a hair out of place, doing composite images, or removing red-eye."
    Lightroom is Adobe's soon-to-be competing product, so it's basically equivalent to Aperture (until you look at the details - but that's another topic). The comments quoted above are relevant to Aperture as well.

  • Any tool similar to the Clean Import Tool?

    Hi,
    Is there any tool (FrameMaker plug-in) similar to the Clean Import tool that enables you to import a FM new template to an existing book and map tags to the new template tags? And also, delete the old template tags and not append to the existing tags.
    Is the Clean Import tool available for download now?
    Thanks!

    If You import the par-file using the eclipse SAP-Plugin a basic conversation is given.
    File->Import...->PAR File
    It should be enough to run the app for testing in Your further develoment You have to edit the portal-xml anyway so do Your changen then....

  • A tools similar to TACACS

    We are adding more Cisco gear to our network and working with local accounts is becoming challenging. 
    Anyone out there know if there is a (free) tool that will centrally manage all the user accounts, privilages, AAA is a bonus, etc.?
    I am looking for something similar to TACACS.

    Here's one based on the original Cisco TACACS:

  • Third party tools similar to graph6i

    Hi all,
    Starting this year, we moved our forms6i and reports6i application to 9ias R2 setup. However, for graphs we were told to keep using graphs6i because OSS for some dumb reason, removed graph from their tool list in 9ias. We have few complex graphs which has 4-5 layers of drill-down and based on clicking a bar/pie on graph1, it populates graph2, graph3 on the same page. It returns data to form application too which is used when we press a button on forms.
    When we try to port that in reports9i, it doesnot have all those features as graphs and we have to show that in a pdf/html report with hyperlink which management didnot like.
    Does someone has idea of any third party tools which can fetch data from database and show some really nice drill-down graphs in 9ias R2 mode, 9i database and it can return values to forms too?
    Any inputs would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Abhi Kumar.

    Hello,
    There is no direct way to see user and group broken permission within a site collection. However you can write powershell script to get the permission. You can modify the below script based on your need and export result in CSV. You may also need to add
    code to iterate all subsites within site collection.
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/14242.sharepoint-2010-export-all-unique-permissions-from-site-collection-using-powershell.aspx
    http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/windows-management/b/weblog/archive/2012/09/25/sharepoint-security-reporting-using-powershell
    Codeplex tool is also available to check permission but it is not always fulfill business need. You may also look at this if it suits you.
    https://permissionsmanager.codeplex.com/ 
    Hope it could help

  • Select tool (similar to Select Color Range) based on Contrast

    This would be useful on its on or in conjunction with the Color Range tool. Maybe a beefed up Select Range tool.
    Color Range has difficulty with gradients & whatnot. Selecting using Contrast would be a way to overcome this. It would work best if it had some of the same functionality of Levels so that an upper and lower range could be fine-tuned. It would also need to take into account a previous selection made with the Lasso or some other way in order to exclude or include only the parts of the img that are being targeted.

    As an example, there is an image of a person that is taken against the sky. I want to select the person only. The sky is a low-contrast area of the img and I want to select everything but that area without actually affecting the img.
    Not the sky, but the idea is here. I used brightness/contrast for the 2nd & contrast only on the 3rd img.

  • Rectangle tools not aligning when publishing

    Left image is how i want it to look like, when i publish it looks like image on right!!!
    I HAVE NO IDEA WHY THIS IS HAPPENING! SO ANNOYING NEED HELP BIG TIME!!!!
    cheers guys!

    Hi Kezmania,
    I see that you have embedded some HTML code on this page. Please try to duplicate the page without the embedded HTML and see if that helps. Also, try to group the three rectangle using the Menu option, Object -> Group.
    If you still face the issue then send your .muse file and a link to this forum topic to my attention to [email protected] If your .muse file is larger than 20MB use a filesharing service like SendThisFile or Adobe SendNow.

  • Batch time change tool similar to iPhoto?

    Good day. I was wondering if (and how!) I could do a batch time change, using incremental times of 3 minutes between scanned images, with a group of images. I have several hundred images that were scanned at different times and I really don't care to change the date and time of each one individually.
    I know that I can do this work in iPhoto and import into Aperture...that's what I have always done in the past. Is there a way to do this so I can combine this into one step and work only in Aperture? A download, plug-in, etc?
    Thanks for your help!

    Ah...the ole work around....used iPhoto, set the preferences to not copy the files to iPhoto, created an album, manually moved the photos into correct order, ran the batch change with incremental time between each photo with modify original files checked, deleted photos out of iPhoto which preserves the original file with the new date stamp cause not copied but references, went back to Aperture and imported fresh....ALL GOOD!

  • Does Apeture 3  have a brush  similar to PS's  liquify or pucker tool?

  • Wysiwyg developer tool for searchable real estate site

    I would like to know if there is a wysiwyg developer tool
    similar to Cartweaver for creating a searchable real estate company
    website. I thought ADDT might fit the bill, but $300 later it is
    apparently not up to the task...

    Hi
    With Muse you can design the site , regarding content management this is done on hosting platform where you host the site as you avail the crm/cms feature where clients can manage the contents.
    You can use any hosting platform like wordpress or Business Catalyst, where we publish the site and then manage cms from site backend.
    Let me know if you need more details.
    Thanks,

  • BI Publisher Bursting program getting failed.

    Hi,
    The bursting program is getting failed. I configured the BI Publisher scheduler configuration. when i schedule a report it is delivering successfully , but when i burst it is getting failed. In the scheduler history it is showing the below message for all the delivery by the burst program.
    Delivery Type           EMAIL
         Status          Failed
         System Message          
    C:\DOCUME~1\SPALAN~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\3\xdofQuBd3MglK093010_092711319109.fo (The system cannot find the path specified).
    Do i need to create any TEMP folder similar to Xml publisher temp folder in ORACLE APPS that is used for bursting. Where can i check the Bi publisher Scheduler LOG file to know the error clearly.
    Thanks in advance.

    Create a BI Publisher log folder where in you should be able to find the log information in xdo log file.
    Here are the steps:
    1.GOTO OraHome_1\Jdk\Jre\lib folder and create a file xdodebug.cfg
    2.Enter following information in the file:
    LogLevel = STATEMENT
    LogDir = <Location of the log folder >
    3.Save and close the xdodebug.cfg file
    4.Restart OC4J services
    5.Check if the Log folder mentioned in the cfg file is created.
    Thanks,

  • I can no longer publish my ICal work calendar

    Just updated to the new calendar in mobile me but it deleted all previous calendars that were on my iCal app on desktop computer.  Fixed that with apple's help, but can no longer publish new calendar updates that are created on home desk top computer/ical (not mobile me).  The radio beacon is no longer present on the work calendar that has been published for 5 years and in the tool bar under Calendar "published" is not able to be selected.  I have 81 mb of my iDisk being used and over 9 gb of free space.  Any help/ideas out there.  Thank you.

    This is odd: I have no trouble doing this. However I'm on Snow Leopard, so I don't know what difference Leopard makes.
    When Apple sorted out your initial problem with the calendars after the upgrade, are you sure they didn't land you with MobileMe calendars? The new calendars live on MobileMe and Leopard can read them and display them in your iCal - I don't know whether it lists them under your MobileMe login name as Snow Leopard does.
    Try this: create a new calendar and make sure that it's 'On My Mac'. Add a single event to it just so that there is something there. Can you publish this? If so, then the other calendars probably are on MobileMe and need to be transferred back to your Mac (from where they won't sync with MobileMe).
    This is the procedure for shifting calendars back to 'On My Mac':
    Select a calendar listed under your MobileMe login name.
    From the File menu choose Export...>Export. An .ics file will be saved at your designated destination.
    Create a new calendar with the same name as the one you've just exported from, choosing 'On My Mac'.
    From the File menu choose Import... Select the .ics file and choose to import it into the calendar you just created (make sure you don't import it into the MobileMe version).
    When complete, check that it's OK and then you can delete the MobileMe version.
    Repeat for other calendars. I should keep the .ics files for a bit as a safety until you are quite sure everything is correct.

  • Oracle Adapter for MySAP: Error trying to publish RFC as WSLD using J2CA.

    Hi,
    I'm using the "Application Explorer" tool in order to publish a BAPI function as WSLD. I can connect the SAP system, I can access the BAPI function, and when I try to execute "Export Outbound JCA Service (request/response)"... I get nothing but a error trace on the console...
    **Exception occurred during event dispatching:**
    **java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/bea/wli/config/resource/BaseQuery**
    **at com.ibi.bse.gui.ExportIntoWSDLDialog.exportWSDL(ExportIntoWSDLDialog.java:483)**
    Although the error is quite clear:
    1.- I can not find this class in any JAR file in my Oracle Service Bus installation (10.3.0).
    2.- Why is the Application Explorer tool accessing that class? is it right? do I need to make extra-configuration? I just follow all the steps described in "Application Adapter Installation Guide (MySAP ERP, Siebel, PeopleSoft, J.D. Edwards OneWorld) WebLogic Server 10g Release 3 (10.3.1.0)" and "Application Adapter for MySAP ERP User's Guide WebLogic Server 10g Release 3 (10.3.1.0)".
    Regards,
    Antonio.

    The same end-result for What Siva mentioned, can also be accomplished by running setDomainEnv script in command prompt. It would set all the required jars in classpath. In the same prompt use ae.bat. (for eg. in linux it would be . ./setDomainEnv.sh followed by ae.sh in the same bash/prompt)
    I prefer to do something like this in first line of ae.bat if the above method is not possible
    SET CLASSPATH=%CLASSAPTH%;D:\bea\osb103MP1\osb_10.3\lib\sb-kernel-api.jar;D:\bea\osb103MP1\modules\com.bea.common.configfwk_1.2.1.0.jar;D:\bea\osb103MP1\modules\com.bea.core.management.jmx_1.1.0.0.jar;D:\bea\osb103MP1\modules\com.bea.core.management.core_2.3.0.0.jar;D:\bea\osb103MP1\wlserver_10.3\server\lib\weblogic.jar;%CLASSPATH%
    Mostly the problem I see is the version numbers for the jars mentioned by Siva will change from OSB version to version. Can you double check if the version numbers of jars match (eg com.bea.core.management.core_2.3.0.0.jar can be com.bea.core.management.core_2.3.x.y.jar in your installation.)
    Let me know if you still have the same issue.
