Uploading RDFs

I've raised a service request for my issue of having 2 repeating frames based on same group bringing back different results.
According to metalink
"Please note that the question you are asking involves coding from our part which is not in
Oracle Support scope. Oracle Support aggreement does not include support for

consultation request. They can help you or they can route you to some partners
for such a request."
I produced for Oracle a SQL Script which will create the table and populate the table as well as the test.rdf file Showing my 'feature'
Now my question is. How can I upload those files onto here so that any of you can help in my 'coding' issue. I believe that this is a report issue not a coding issue.
Cheers!

How can I upload those files onto here ....Don't think you can do it here. But you may put them somewhere else and post a link here.

I wish to upload a PDF file to my website but Firefox 3.6.12 reports it as type application/force-download and NOT application/pdf, WHY?

My website has been running for many months, and as part of the site users can upload PDF documents to share with others. The last successful upload was 5th Nov, but to-day my upload was rejected because Firefox returned the document type as application/force-download rather than application/pdf. Uploads work fine with IE8.
The site uses PHP to check extension and document type and, as I mentioned, has worked fine for many months. I have even attempted to upload the same document that succeeded on the 5th, but again Firefox returns application/force-download as the document type.
Why the change?

Just found a solution.
In Tools, Options, Application Firefox listed TWO options against Adobe Acrobat Documents; the apprliaction/pdf and application/force-download. I have deleted mimeTypes.rdf and allowed Firefox to re-create the file. All works as it should now!

Generating and Viewing XML Output without rdf

Howdy,
I have been dev Oracle Forms/Reports for over 10 years. We are now migrating all of our reports to BIP.
To date when I have been developing these reports I have been using the old rdf files to "generate to a file" and thus get a nice, quick and dirty XML output file (what I am calling a “datafile”). Using this makes it substantially easier to then dev the format template. However going forward I/we would like to completely remove the Designer 2000 tool entirely when it comes to report development.
How can we as developers can get our hands on the XML "datafiles" that are generated by the data templates in BIP? Are these stored anywhere on the server for the viewing? Is there another tool I can pop my Data template and SQL into and generate XML ‘with’ the correct groupings, ect.?
Thanks in advance for any assistance/guidance you can provide.

Or, from the browser see Note:394631.1
1.Using System Administrator responsibility
Nav:Profile->System
query Viewer: Text, set this to Browser and save
2. Using your Receivables responsibility
Run the the XML report that is failing, note the request_id
when it finishes, even with errors do this,
View->Requests
query this request_id
click on Diagnostic button->View XML
save the file to your PC by doing File->Save As
3. Upload this XML data file.

Dos2unix doesn't convert some RDF files to BINARY...

Hi,
I have a peculiar issue with a couple of RDF's.
My scripts copies all the files to a temp directory; move them to the relevant tops/paths and then do a "dos2unix" on the RDF and RTF files.
Majority of the reports work fine when this is done.
But this doesn't work fine for 2 RDFs.
1) I have customized AR Customer Invoice program (RAXINV_SEL.rdf).
Once i run the installation scripts, it copies everything and does a dos2unix on RDF and RTF files. I can see the custom RDF (XX_RAXINV_SEL.rdf) in $CUSTOM_TOP/reports/US directory.
It doesn't even throw any error when i run the below command in the Custom_Top.
[chundurk-DEV]/u01/oracle/EBSDEV/apps/apps_st/appl/xxabc/12.0.0/reports/US > dos2unix XX_RAXINV_SEL.rdf
dos2unix: converting file XX_RAXINV_SEL.rdf to UNIX format ...
[chundurk-DEV]/u01/oracle/EBSDEV/apps/apps_st/appl/xxabc/12.0.0/reports/US >
But when i run the report, It thows the below error:
REP-1070: Error while opening or saving a document.
REP-0110: Unable to open file '/u01/oracle/EBSDEV/apps/apps_st/appl/xxbwp/12.0.0/reports/US/XX_RAXINV_SEL.rdf'.
When i drag the RDF to $CUSTOM_TOP/reports/US in BINARY Mode using FTP, the report works perfectly fine.
2) This is happening the same way for one of my custom reports too.
We've developed about 50-60 reports and all of them work fine, except these 2 reports.
Please suggest. Thanks in advance for your help.

Kesava

Gareth,
Lets ignore the functionality of migration tool for now; its happening the same when i do it directly using SSH Secure Shell Unix & FTP tool.
The steps i generally follow to migrate the reports are provided below:
1. Logged in to SSH Secure Shell Unix & FTP tool.
2. Created a temporary folder say 'reports' in /home/user directory.
3. Drag all the report files to /home/user/reports directory in default mode i.e., ASCII (Migration tool ClearQuest also does the same).
4. Then provide permissions on these files:
chmod 755 *.*
5. Run the shell Script:
090xxbwp_inv_mov_apps.sh apps apps ghoord01:1521:EBSDEV.
Shell script just has the commands shown below:
1. cp -f 090XXBWP_INV_MOV.rdf $XXBWP_TOP/reports/US/XXBWP_INV_MOV.rdf
cp -f 090XXBWP_INV_MOV.rtf XXBWP_INV_MOV.rtf
2. FNDLOAD $1/$2 O Y UPLOAD $FND_TOP/patch/115/import/afcpprog.lct 090XXBWP_INV_MOV_CP.ldt - CUSTOM_MODE=FORCE
FNDLOAD $1/$2 0 Y UPLOAD $XDO_TOP/patch/115/import/xdotmpl.lct 090XXBWP_INV_MOV_XML.ldt - CUSTOM_MODE=FORCE
3. dos2unix $XXBWP_TOP/reports/US/XXBWP_INV_MOV.rdf
dos2unix XXBWP_INV_MOV.rtf
4. chmod 755 $XXBWP_TOP/reports/US/XXBWP_INV_MOV.rdf
chmod 755 XXBWP_INV_MOV.rtf
5. XDOLoader command to attach the RTF File to XML Template Skeleton.
Once this is done; It works perfectly fine for all the reports (RDF's), except two of them.
For the two reports that doesn't work; it thows the below error when the report is ran in APPS:
REP-0110: Unable to open file 'XXBWP_INV_MOV.rdf'.
REP-1070: Error while opening or saving a document.
REP-0110: Unable to open file '/u01/oracle/EBSDEV/apps/apps_st/appl/xxbwp/12.0.0/reports/US/XXBWP_INV_MOV.rdf'.
Workaround currently in Use:
Transfer the RDF file manually in BINARY MODE to $XXBWP_TOP/reports/US directory and the issue is resolved.
Request you to let me know if you can provide me with any permanant solution for this.
Thanks,
Kesava

Custom report definition file (.rdf) not working in release 12

I have created a custom report XXX_VENDORS.rdf and uploaded to the server. While executing the concurrent program, it asks for XXX_VENDORS.rep file. How can I execute an .rdf file in Release 12?

While executing the concurrent program, it asks for XXX_VENDORS.rep file.rdf files should work with R12. The CM would ask for the .rep if it could not find the .rdf file. Please make sure you have uploaded the file to <PROD>_TOP/reports/<lang> directory.

try:
- create executable as oracle report (your rdf file)
- create concurrent based on above executable and set output as xml
- create data definition (without any file)
- create template (layout of result report) as example in rtf
as example of concurrent based on rdf look at GLWACCTR

Why do I get Media Type "image/ipeg" when uploading a PDF?

I am getting this strange "image/ipeg" media type when uploading with FF (33.0.2 on Mac OS X 10.9.4), instead of "application/pdf." Viewing the request sent using Developer Tools, I get the following headers:
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="test"; filename="test.pdf"
Content-Type: image/ipeg
Looking at mimeTypes.rdf in my that profile, I see
<RDF:Description RDF:about="urn:mimetype:image/ipeg"
NC:value="image/ipeg"
NC:editable="true"
NC:fileExtensions="pdf"
NC:description="Document">
<NC:handlerProp RDF:resource="urn:mimetype:handler:image/ipeg"/>
When creating a new profile and uploading a PDF, I correctly get "application/pdf", and sure enough, mimeTypes.rdf states:
<RDF:Description RDF:about="urn:mimetype:application/pdf"
NC:value="application/pdf">
<NC:handlerProp RDF:resource="urn:mimetype:handler:application/pdf"/>
</RDF:Description>
I have disabled all Add-ons to see if any of them was causing this, but no luck. I suspect it's either some add-on or OS app association (like OS X Preview) that's causing this, but I can't find the culprit.
Has anybody ever encountered this? It's very straightforward to fix, but I would like to understand exactly what is going on because it sounds somewhat wrong to send "image/ipeg" as the Media Type for PDF.

One way that odd content types can be added to the mimeTypes.rdf file is when you are presented with the download dialog (Open/Save/Cancel) for a novel content type and you associate it with a known application. But tracking down the exact site that caused this (assuming it was a misconfigured server) could be impossible.
On Windows, bizarre things also could be incorporated from the Windows registry, but I don't know whether there is anything equivalent on Mac.

Uploading a PDF via Firefox, told the file is not a PDF

I know the way to fix this problem is by deleting or renaming mimetypes.rdf in my firefox profile. The only problem is that on several computers, the problem is repeatable. I have one user that has to delete or rename the mimetype.rdf file in her profile every day.
Yesterday I created a brand new firefox profile for the user and only imported her bookmarks. Nothing else. Today she was unable to upload a pdf to a website, she was told her file "wasn't a pdf." I deleted her mimetypes.rdf and we were able to upload the pdf.
Any idea what could cause this to repeat on the same pc even with a new firefox profile?
User has a Windows 7 64bit pc using Firefox 29.0.1. All Windows updates are current. Adobe Reader 11.

I am noticing that the "bad" file has a lot more entries than the good file for pdf. I can't get them side by side.

Conversion from RDF to XML Publisher

Hai,
This is my first posting. I am presently working on XML publisher.
1) I need to convert reports from report builder 6 to XML publisher.
I am using the following procedure.
1. In the Define window change the output to XML.
2. Run the report. Save the output as .XML file.
3. Using the XML file generate the RTF file. Do necessary change.
4. Register in the XML publisher administrator responsibility.
Is this the correct process of converting the reports or is there any other method or tool that can be
used?
2) Can you let me know the process of converting in BI publisher latest version also?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
It looks like you have got it pretty much spot on. There are a few things that you must ensure you have done correctly in the XMLP Admin responsibility for XMLP to pick up the templates when you run your concurrent program.
1. Locate the required Concurrent Program definition and using the COPY button at the bottom left of the form copy the Concurrent Program and give it a new NAME and SHORT NAME. The main reason for doing this is that if Oracle releases a patch that updates the original Concurrent Program, it will not affect your new custom one. Make a note our you new Concurrent Program SHORT NAME as you will need this later.
2. Change the output of your new Concurrent Program to XML and Save.
3. Add your new Concurrent Program to the required Request Group so it can be seen by the responsibility you want to run it in.
4. Run the report and save the XML Output to a location on your local machine.
5. Using the MS Word Template Builder Plug in, load you XML Data and build your RTF template. Test this using the Preview functionality in the Template Builder plugin.
6. Login to eBusiness Suite with the XML Publisher Administrator responsibility and go to Data Template.
7. Create a new Data Definition. The Name and Description can be anything meaningful. HOWEVER the SHORT NAME must be exactly the same as the SHORT NAME of the new Concurrent Program you have created. If this is incorrect XMLP will not be able to pick up the Data Definition when the Concurrent Program is run!! Click Save/Apply and that is that step completed.
8. Click the Template Manager tab at the top right of the page and create a new Template Definition. Here the Name and Short Name can be anything you like. Select the name of the Data Definition you have just created. The template type should be RTF for an RTF Word template. Click Save/Apply
9. Now run your Concurrent Program and the XMLP should automatically pick up your template and output your XMLP Report.
There are tools available that can convert an RDF Oracle Report, these are available in the latest version of the MS Word Template Builder Plugin. These will take an RDF file and create a DATA TEMPLATE (an XML version of the RDF query), and an RTF Template (a template version of the RDF Layout).
These can then be uploaded into eBusiness Suite in much the same way as detail above. The difference is that you have to create a new Concurrent Program and instead of using an Oracle Reports Concurrent EXECUTABLE, you use an XMLP Concurrent EXECUTABLE. This is well documented in the XMLP User Guide under Data Templates.
I hope this helps a little. Please let me know if you are still having issues running RDF reports with XMLP.
Regards,
Cj

Changes in .RDF not reflected in template

Hi,
I am wondering if anyone else has had this issue. I made a change for a function in my .RDF file and moved it to our reports directory. The change is not reflected in the BI Publisher output. Is there something else I need to do to get the template to pick up the change as well. The problem seems to be that the XML output does not change and seems to only be running the old file. Is there somewhere else I need to move the file to or does anything have to be bounced to make changes effective? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Jason,
Check if there is a Load balancer in use...
If the address you give to users to access EBS (http://erp.company.com:8001/) looks different from the server you upload the files onto (e.g. server1.company.com), you have good reason to suspect may be a Load balancer in use. Load balancing in EBS context means e.g. that the work load is automatically balanced between two or more application servers. In this case you would need to upload the updated file to every server used (server1.company.com, server2.company.com, etc).
The load balancer gives assignments to the application servers according to some internal logic. You can query fnd_concurrent_requests to see which AS was assigned to carry out each request. If you have an obsolete version of the report on one AS, and new one on the other AS, whichever could be picked. Actually you may have the old one picked dozen times in a row. This could explain why the updates are not reflected when you run the concurrent program.
Best Regards, Matilda Smeds

BIPBatchConversion RDF to BIP

Suresh,
DataTemplateGenerator java API generate the DataTemplate. Data Template is kind of meta data file, which hold user queries and xml structure. XML Publisher Data Engine use Data Template to generate actual Data.
Beside this DataTemplate, DataTemplateGenerator also generate PL/SQL package specification and Package Body. Please compile these to you Database. If there is any compilation error, please fix it manually.
So in your case what you uploaded to Template Builder is DataTemplate, not the actual XML data, that's why you don't see any output.
Please check XML Publisher User Guide (chapter 9) to know more about Data Template and Data Engine.

Ashish.

What is mechanism to integrate with the rdf and Rtf with concurrent manger

hi
what is mechanism to integrate with the rdf and Rtf with concurrent manger in oracle apps .
can any one help me
Thanks in advance

1. Create executable for Oracle Reports.
2. Create a concurrent program based on this executable with output type as xml.
3. Now from XMLP responsibility, create a data definition with data definition short code = concurrent program short code
4. Create template definition choosing the data definition created above. Upload RTF/other template format created.
Now run the concurrent program and test it.
Step by step guide is available here http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-publisher/overview/xmlebsrep-132947.pdf

Pixelated web uploads

I upload a lot of my images to facebook when I'm done. I've never had an issue before but recently I've been working a lot with reds and the images look horribly pixelated when uploaded. I shoot in sRGB RAW on a 7d, edit in 16bit and export an sRGB JPEG. The JPEG at my end looks fine but compression at Facebook, photobucket etc is really knocking it about.
Here's an example of a trouble image. Uploading it in PNG to photobucket gave me a clean upload but this doesn't work on facebook:

Hello Tim / Experts,
Running EBS report in BI publisher
Followed the steps mentioned in the Standard Oracle docs/guides:
1.     Change the output format of the report in concurrent program definition to produce XML output
2.     Create the Data Definition by registering the concurrent program shortname in the Data definition of BI publisher
3.     Create RTF template
4.     Upload RTF template into the template manager of BI publisher to display the output from the concurrent request.
The step3 to create the RTF template has not been given much coverage in any of the oracle docs/guides
The requirement is for the RTF to have the same layout as the original rdf so that it displays the output in the same fashion. In order to produce the rtf file followed the steps below:
Converting Reports from Oracle Reports to Oracle BI Publisher
1.     Saved the 6i RDF report in 10g report builder
2.     From the Tools menu and File conversion sub-menu, converted the report in XML format
3.     Ran the conversion script, with the input file as the XML file saved above
java.exe -classpath ……………………\xdocore.jar; ……………………\collections.jar; ……………………\aolj.jar; ……………………\xmlparserv2-904.jar oracle.apps.xdo.rdfparser.BIPBatchConversion -source ……………………\input -target ……………………\output -debug
4.     The conversion script above produced the following outputs:
•     Report definition file REPORT.xdo
•     DataTemplate REPORT_template.xml
•     PL/SQL package specification REPORTS.pls
•     PL/SQL package REPORTB.pls
•     RTF Layout Template REPORT.rtf
•     Log file REPORT.log
5.     The RTF Layout Template REPORT.rtf had field orientation changed from horizontal to vertical i.e. the fields in the original report were in one straight horizontal line, whereas the converted report output rtf had all these fields arranged in a vertical fashion
6.     Compiled the packages into database
7.     Uploaded the REPORT.rtf of steps 5 into the template manager of BI publisher
8.     Ran the concurrent request
The report failed with warnings, not surprising since the layout was disoriented
Queries:
1)     Which is the easiest method of producing the RTF template (that has an identical layout of the rdf report) ? Any document which explains all this ?
2)     Steps to create the RTF template
3)     To attach format triggers and other things which are not supported by conversion tool ?
Thanks

Did you generate the report in Builder or in Reports server?
Please provide the OS details and how you are running the report.
