Unable to configure BI Publisher report with Primavera Unifier

Hello Friends,
We have installed Primavera Unifier 9.14 release on one Linux machine and OBIEE 11.1.1.7.0 is installed on another Linux machine.
For configuration, we shared OBIEE installed folder with the Primavera Linux machine.We followed all the steps that are mentioned in the configuration guide for OBIEE(BI Publisher) with Unifier.
While configuring BI Publisher Reports with Unifier,we are getting following error: Test connection failed.
"failed to create URL for the wsdl location: 'META_INF/wsdl/Catalogservice.wsdl' retrying as local file.
no protocol: /META_INF/wsdl/CatalogService.wsdl"
Unifier Log message:
ERROR: getCatalogInfo.ex=javax.xml.ws.WebServiceException: Provider com.sun.xml.ws.spi.ProviderImpl not found.
We have tested BIP login on Unifier application server machine and its working fine.
BIP END URL used: http://hostname:9704
BIP User: BIPUSER123
BIP Password: BIPUSER123
BIP Report Folder: ReportFolderName
BIPUSER123 user has admin privileges and also ReportFolder is having required access.
Is there any workaround or are we missing some configurations?
Thanks in Advance

Unable to view BI Publisher report with SSO configuration enabled

Hi All,
Can anybody let us know the configuration of the BI publisher with SSO enabled. We are unable to see any of the BI Publisher reports. without SSO configuration we have integration working perfectly fine with the OBIEE and Publisher.
We followed the configuration steps to integrate BI Publisher with Oracle SSO. The following are the steps:
1. deploy analytics.ear as a new application 'analyticsSOAP' in OAS
2. protect analyticsSOAP in mod_osso.conf file under OAS
3. change OBIEE Presentation services configuration to use analyticsSOAP/saw.dll
4. run credstore utility to encrypt password
5.restart xmlp server
6.restart http server
7.restart obiee server
8. restart obiee presentation service
Still we have issues when we try to accesses BI Publisher reports by clicking more Products -> BI Publisher or view reports directly on the OBIEE Dashboard
Thanks in advance.

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)"

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

I am unable to configure my ipad 2 with my existing wifi of linksys though I have entered the all ip address as per my laptop but still I am not getting thru network kindly suggest the solution

i am unable to configure my ipad 2 with my existing wifi of linksys though I have entered the all ip address as per my laptop but still I am not getting thru network kindly suggest the solution

The ip-adress cannot be the same as your laptop. You have to make sure that your ip-adress is unique in the network. if your ip is 192.168.1.100 try 192.168.1.112 or somthing. More advanced is to check avalible adress in your router.

11i EBS XML Publisher Report with Multiple Data Source

I need to create XML Publisher report in 11i EBS pulling data from another 10.7 EBS Instance as well as 11i EBS in single report.
I am not allowed to create extract or use db links.
My problem is how to create Data Source Connection using Java Concurrent Program.
The approach I am trying is
1. create Java concurrent program to establish connection to 10.7 instance.
2. Will write the SQL queries in Data Tempalete with 2 Data Source 1 for 11i EBS and 2 for 10.7 EBS
3. Template will show the data from both query in 1 report..
Is there any other way to proceed using datasource API...
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.

Unable to configure Oracle Publisher in SQL SERVER 2008 R2

Hi, All,
I am trying to talk to my Oracle database from SQL server. I already had Oracle Client 11g installed in my SQL server.
Following the guidance in the technet on configuring the Distributer successfully. I now trying to configure the Publisher, by choosing "Adding Oracle Publisher" option. Then it prompt for the user id & password, I have enter the login (which
is replication user id created in Oracle). I encounter following error msg:
TITLE: Distributor Properties
Oracle server instance 'ssluat' cannot be enabled as a Publisher because of the following error:

I have search the guideline on this error in Technet and do what I can to troubleshoot but still got error.
Kindly pls help me.
Thank you.
Avelyn

1.Make certain that a current version of the oracle client code is installed at the distributor”, please install corresponding version of Oracle
Client tools on Distributor Box
2.Are you able to connect to your Oracle server from the Distributor Box?if so,Distributor
box needs to have Oracle client tools installed on it before you can setup replication , I hope you have installed the Oracle client tools on Distributor Box. If yes, check if using SQLPlus you can connect manually to Oracle server or not from your Distributor
Box.
Moreover,Please refer the below
Before attempting to configure the Oracle Publisher, SQL Server verifies that SQL*PLUS is accessible through the system path on the Distributor. If SQL*PLUS cannot be loaded, the following error message is shown:
"Unable to run SQL*PLUS. Make certain that a current version of the Oracle client code is installed at the distributor."
Try to locate SQL*PLUS on the Distributor. For an Oracle 10g client install, the name of this executable is sqlplus.exe. It is typically installed in %ORACLE_HOME%/bin. To verify that the path of SQL*PLUS appears in the system path, examine the value of the
system variable Path:
Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
Click the Advanced tab, and then click Environment variables.
In the Environment Variables dialog box, in the System variables list, select the Path variable,
and then click Edit.
In the Edit System Variable dialog box: if the path to the folder that contains sqlplus.exe is not present in the Variable
value text box, edit the string to include it.
Click OK on each open dialog box to exit and save changes.

BI Publisher Report with Multiple data models

I have an Oracle Report with two different data model(querys) and Layouts for Summary and Details. When the user Choses Summary it execute the summary data model query and display the result in summary Repeating frame Layout and when user choses Details it execute the other query and uses the other layout.
Now I am creating the same report in Stand alone BI Publisher. As a company standard we are using Data Template for Data model. How can I accomplish the same feature I mentioned above in BI Publisher? Meaning How can I control and execute the querys in BIP based on a parameter "Summary" or "Details" ?
Can Someone help

Publishing Reports with BO Integration Kit for SAP

Post Author: Daniel Stoerzinger
CA Forum: General
I have the BO Integration Kit for SAP installed locally and have been able to publish the reports to the Enterprise Server. I'm also able to Open Reports from the SAP tab. However, I've created a lot of "test" reports which I no longer want to see in the list of reports. I've removed the reports from BO CMC but the Open Reports tab (SAP) still displays the ones I've removed from CMC. Where is this list stored? Are the report definitions stored within SAP? I've heard that the report definition is stored in SAP and the physical report is saved to the BO Enterprise Server. But no one within our SAP team has any idea and claim these are stored on the BO server.
(Someone tell me I'm not the only one in the universe trying to use Crystal Reports with SAP)

Thanks to Ingo Hilgefort for a reply to the same question on a very good SAP forum https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/forums.
You can use the "Crystal Content Admin workbench" (transaction /crystal/rptadmin) and delete the reports from SAP BW and BOE ins a single step
its part of the Transports of the SAP Integration Kit. You need to import the transports into the BW System

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.

Link to BI Publisher report with parameters

I want to link from one BIP report to another. I have created a BI Publisher report using the Layout Editor. Using the following link, I can connect to the BIP report when directly pasted into the address bar in firefox.
http://xxxxxxxxx/xmlpserver/Sample Reports/Developmment_ML/Report_Fin_Ledger_MN.xdo?_xpf=&_xpt=0&_xdo=%2FSample%20Reports%2FDevelopmment_ML%2FReport_Fin_Ledger_MN.xdo&_xmode=&_paramsCompany=00050&_xt=LO_Fin_Account_Ledger_02&_xf=html&_xautorun=true
Note: I obtained the syntax for this link by viewing the target report and selecting Actions --> Share Report Link
I created a second BI Publisher report using the Layout Editor. Within the Layout Editor, I modify the Properties of one of the fields. In the box next to "URL", I past the same link as above.
However, when I view the report in HTML format, the link truncates anything after the first xdo to only return:
http://xxxxxxxxx/xmlpserver/Sample Reports/Developmment_ML/Report_Fin_Ledger_MN.xdo
As a result it does not pass the parameter value and run the report.
Any assistance would be helpful. Thanks!

Hi,
I found a way to do this using javascript in "HTML Header" in the Page section of an APEX Page
<script type="text/javascript">
function invokeURL()
var parameterId = document.getElementById("P2_PARAMETER").value;
alert ("hello "+objectiveId);
var url =
"http://xxhost:port/xmlpserver/XXFOLDER_NAME/xxxx_test_report2.2/xxxx_test_report2.2.xdo?_xpf=&_xpt=0&_xdo=%2XXXX_XXX%2Fxxxx_test_report2.2%2Fxxxx_test_report2.2.xdo&G_PARAMETER_NAME="+parameterId+"&_xt=defaultlayout&_xf=pdf&_xmode=2";
window.open(url);
</script>
This can invoked in a button by passing "javascript:invokeURL();" to the "Optional URL Redirect" section.
Thanks
