Number format issue in XML Publisher from OAF (',.' is replaced by 'u n')

Hi All,
I am facing a problem in XML Publisher report. In report I need to display some number fields with 'USD' format. In RTF, data type 'Number' and format '###,##0.00' is selected. If I run concurrent program from oracle core forms using System Administrator > Concurrent > Request, I am able to get correct number format.
Ex : 123456.00 After Number format : 123,456.00
Also its working fine from XML Publisher Administrator responsibility (using Preview).
But problem is when I submit the concurrent request through OAF, I am not getting correct data. ',' is replace by 'u' and '.' is replace by 'n'.
Ex: 123456.00 In Report 123u456n00
Checked profile value : ICX: Numeric Character and its set to 1,000.00 at site level.
Do I need to set character set anywhere in OAF before calling concurrent program?
I tried to use "alter session set nls_numeric_character = ',.';" by calling stored procedure from OAF. But still its not working.
Please give me solution for this.

Sadanand

Hell - I am running into the same issue? Did you guys find a resolution for this? Please let me know, would really appreciate your help.

Start XML Publisher from a html based page.

Hi.
We have users that only have access to the html based pages in EBS.
I wonder if I somehow can make it possible for them to start a xml publisher report request with parameters, from those html based pages.
In the form based pages this is not a problem, just add the concurrent program to a request group. But there must be someway to do this from the html based pages as well.
Is there a Role that can be assigned or something?
Regards
Daniel

Launching XML publisher from OAF

Hi ,
I am trying to run an XML publisher report from an OAF page. I get the following error whenever I run the report, "An error encountered either due to invalid Template details or due to null Data Input Stream".
The code fails at,
DataTemplate datatemplate = new DataTemplate(((OADBTransactionImpl)getOADBTransaction()).getAppsContext(), "PER", "GVS_EMP_VERIF");
I have tried various solutions mentioned in the oracle forums threads, but non solved the issue. Could someone please suggest what could be the issue?
Regards,
BM

Hi BM,
Use TemplateHelper.processTemplate instead of DataTemplate.
//Generate the PDF Report.
TemplateHelper.processTemplate(
((OADBTransactionImpl)pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean).getOADBTransaction()).getAppsContext(),APP_NAME,TEMPLATE_CODE, ((OADBTransactionImpl)pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean).getOADBTransaction()).getUserLocale().getLanguage(), ((OADBTransactionImpl)pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean).getOADBTransaction()).getUserLocale().getCountry(),inputStream,TemplateHelper.OUTPUT_TYPE_PDF,null,pdfFile);

Calling XML Publisher report(RDF based) From OAF

Hi All,
I have requirement where i need to call one of the custom XML Publisher report from oaf by passing the parameters.
and i dnt want this using concurrent program.
I have an idea of calling xml publisher report which is Data Template based(XML).
http://oracle-hack.blogspot.ae/2012/04/launching-xml-publisher-from-oa.html
but in my case the report is RDF based.
They are generating the XML using one of the custom rdf. How can we achieve this?
Please help.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
Yeah yes. this method i know in my case the Custom XML Report is based on a rdf.
So just i want to know it can be achievable ir not? if so how?
Thanks

Font problems in resulting XML Publisher document (from PeopleSoft)

Hi all,
we're creating documents using XML Publisher under PeopleSoft, designing the template in Word 2007.
We see strange things hapening to the resulting documents: even though the majority of the template is created in a Times New Roman 11pt font, we find that in the resulting document, empty paragraphs and empty table cells are formatted as Arial 12 pt. So where we put an empty line between paragraphs in the text in the template, and set all the text to Times New Roman, the empty lines are Arial. Same thing with the tables. There's a table with a for-each loop in the rows. The XML with the data always contains 10 entries, but possibly with empty values, so that the table in the resulting document always has 10 rows (plus a header row). However, the empty rows are Arial 12, and the filled-in rows are TNR 11. This results in a different heigth for the table depending on how many rows are filled in, causing the positioning of the rest of the document to be off.
The template contains NO Arial 12 at all...
I hope my problem is clear. Any ideas or pointers where to look are really appreciated...
Spiffo

Hello Deepz,
Thank you for your answer. I am not sure I understand your answer: I stated, this is occurring in XML Publisher from PeopleSoft, so not in BI Publisher. Furthermore, there is one section in the document where I do need Arial, but at pt 11, not 12.
I hope you or other forum members can help me further.
Regards,
Spiffo

XML Publisher/eBS version

Hi,
If I look in the white paper "Publishing Concurrent Requests with XML Publisher" from January 2005 I can on page 9 see that there is a new field in the Submit Request form (Forms environment); "Layout", where you can tell which XML Publisher template the report should use. This fixes the problem that you need to submit two requests, one for the actual report to XML and one for the layout generation.
Does anyone know in which patch level/version on eBS/XML Publisher this new field is added? I have an environment 11.5.10 (unpatched) and there the new field is not visible? Does it come with the 11.5.10 CU2 or what do I have to do get this new field?
Regards,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,
Please apply patch 3435480, that integrates the XML Publisher concurrent requests into one (instead of running two).On application of this patch, the service request form FNDRSRUN will upgrade itself to the newer version ($Header FNDRSRUN.fmb 115.136 2004/12/10 15:14 jtoruno ship). You will be able to see a new button called 'Options' in the 'Layout' section of the same SR form. This is the place where one selects the 'Template/Output Format' and then submit the request for further processing. We have implemented this with the 11.5.10 CU2 release and then applying the patch.
I hope this helps.
Thx,
Nitin

OAF page with XML Publisher report

Hi All,
I am trying to create a OAF page with an XML Publisher report. I am not able to create a 'defaultSingleColumn' region which extends '/oracle/apps/xdo/oa/common/webui/DocumentViewerRn.MainRegion', getting a Confirm message and Validation error and they are:
Confirm message:
Component "/oracle/apps/xdo/12.0.0/mds/oa/common/webui/DocumentViewerRn.MainRegion" cannot be referenced from
"/xx/oracle/apps/xxbsk/payslip/webui/PaySlipViewPG.region1" because it violates scope restrictions.
Are you sure you want to use component "/oracle/apps/xdo/12.0.0/mds/oa/common/webui/DocumentViewerRn.MainRegion"?
Validation Error:

I am trying to develop this page for R12.1.3 and using correct version of JDev (Patch 9879989).
I am following the below link for embedding the XML PO into my page:

RDF output to XML Publisher

Hello All,
Has anyone out there taken output from an RDF and presented it in XML Publisher from concurrent manager 11.5.10.2 ?
It seems like it might be possible. Maybe:
-set the RDF output to XML
-produce an RTF template in Word for the RDF
-Associate the report with the new template in XML Publisher responsibility
Sounds like it might work.
Any help is appreciated,
Bradley

I am not sure about the Concurrent Manager part. But with the latest release of BI Publisher standalone, one can convert RDF's directly to BI Publisher Templates. Quite a handy utility. I have blogged about it here http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/2007/08/22/oracle-reports-to-bi-publisher-conversion-utility/. I am not sure whether this can be used to convert some complex RDF's (which would be the case in ebusiness suite) but this can serve as a good starter.
Thanks,
Venkat

XML Publisher Core API

Hi, I am looking for documentation for the Java APIs. I have the XML Publisher User Guide but would like some reference documentation for the APIs, javadoc or otherwise.
Is there also any documentation aimed specifically at interacting with XML Publisher from an external application using the core APIs?

The javadoc is included with the XML Publisher enterprise 5.6.2 in the doc folder.
Hope that helps,

XML Publisher Report Output from OAF Page

Hi,
I created a button in a OAF page, and called the XML publisher Report program on click of this button. The concurrent request was ran when check from View Requests. When I click on viewout, the pdf document was open with the option, open, save, cancel. But this is not coming up in the OAF page. when debugged the code, the url is null.
Please see the below code.
OADBTransactionImpl oadbtransactionimpl = (OADBTransactionImpl)paramOAPageContext.getRootApplicationModule().getOADBTransaction();
String s1 = oadbtransactionimpl.getAppsContext().getEnvStore().getEnv("TWO_TASK");
System.out.println("s1 = " + s1);
String s2 = oadbtransactionimpl.getAppsContext().getEnvStore().getEnv("GWYUID");
System.out.println("s2 = " + s2);
String s3 = "BEGIN :1 := fnd_webfile.get_url(fnd_webfile.request_out, :2, :3, :4, 2); end;";
CallableStatement callablestatement = paramOAPageContext.getApplicationModule(paramOAWebBean).getOADBTransaction().createCallableStatement(s3, 1);
System.out.println("s3 = " + s3);
if(requestId != 0)
try
Number number = new Number(requestId);
callablestatement.registerOutParameter(1, 12);
callablestatement.setInt(2, number.intValue());
callablestatement.setString(3, s2);
callablestatement.setString(4, s1);
callablestatement.execute();
String s4 = callablestatement.getString(1);
System.out.println("Before S4 if statement");
if(s4 == null || s4.equals(""))
// throw new RuntimeException();
System.out.println("URL is null");
System.out.println(" print ouput url - " + s4 );
// throw OAException.wrapperException(exception);
oadbtransactionimpl.putValue("OutputURL", s4);
System.out.println(" print ouput url - " + s4 );
}

Look at the links AJ gave.
Basically what you will do is create a Data Definition and assign a Data Template to it. Create a (document) Template and assign it to your data definition. You will use the XML Publisher Java API classes to pass parameters to your data template and extract the XML data. Then you will use this in conjunction with your document template and the OAF integration region to present the final output to the user.
All of these things are in the XML Publisher documentation and Javadocs.

Error after upgrading BI Publisher report from 10g to 11g

Hi All,
I have migrated the BI Publisher from 10g to 11g. The upgrade was done using the upgrade assistant and the installation process was a success.
However whenever I try to access the reports in 11g after migration I get the following error:
oracle.xdo.servlet.CreateException: Data Model definition not found:/dlypurge.xdm.
I have tried modifying the .xdo to include the following:
<dataModel url="/RMS/dlypurge/dlypurge.xdm"/> where dlypurge is one of the reports. However in the BI Publisher does not seem to access the latest .xdo file.
Any suggestions on how to rectify the error.
