Using variables in etext template

Hello All,
I have a requirement where in I have to print totals in each trailer of a batch. I have to do totals only for a particular set of records.
For doing sum there is a value column under each outboundpayment record. say /payment/value
Output contains the following
header
body
trailer
for each batch the above 3 will be repeated .
say for batch 01 there will be a header, 2 records in the body and 1 record in the trailer section. Now in the trailer section I have to print sum only for batch 01.
When Iam doing sum(payment/value) it is printing the sum of all the batches as there is no condition while doing sum.
outboundpaymentinstruction
outboundpayment - 01
outboundpayment - 01
outboundpayment - 03
outboundpayment - 03
outboundpayment - 04
outboundpayment - 04
outboundpaymentinstruction
Can anyone provide some guidance. Is there a possibility of using variables ?
Regards,
Swetha

Using Variable in the Data Template

Hi All,
I am on BIP 10.1.3.4.1 and DB is SQL Server. My Data Model is a Data Template wherein I have written multiple SQL Statements. I want to use a variable in my Data Template, assign it a value and use that variable to limit one of the SQL statements in the where clause like
declare @cnt int;
set @cnt = select count(asset_id) from asset
How do I use in the data template. I tried using it in a separate SQL statement but it throws me an error when i run the report like
"Need to declare the scalar variable '@cnt'
Can we have a variable section like parameter section we have in the data template to declare the parameters?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ronny

Etext templates using the API

HI All, I'm trying to create a Etext template using the API.
EFTProcessor processor = new EFTProcessor();
String template = TemplateLocator.getTemplateFullName(mergReq.getTemplateType(), mergReq.getTemplateName());
processor.setData(input);
processor.setTemplate(template);
processor.setOutput("c:\\test.txt");
processor.process();
This output looks like it creates the xsl and not the text file. Am I missing a step?

How to Print multiple Records under one level in Etext templates.

Hi,
I am working on the Etext templates and customizing the standard template “US NACHA PPD FORMAT”.
This standard template don’t have a addenda record.. I have modified and it is working for single Addenda records. But when I have multiple ADDENDA records to be printed in one particular *<outboundpayment>* level, it is not printing.
How do I modify the template so that Multiple Addenda records get printed?
Note: I have multiple *<MyPayables>* tags under *<OutboundPayment>* tags.
Please help me in understanding this…

What you probably need to do is generate each bio
individually with the
<cfdocument...> tag just the way you want them. And
then use some of
the advanced <cfpdf...> functionality that allows you
to append two or
more individual PDF's into a single large PDF.
Here are some resources that describe some of the
<cfpdf...> functionality.

Preview Etext template in XML Publisher Desktop (Template Builder)

Is there a way, or are there plans, to be able to preview an eText template using the template builder, in MS Word, like you can with PDF type templates. This is a great feature when creating PDF output and saves a lot of time. It would be great to be able to do the same for eText templates.
Cheers,
Dave

You can create a dummy data definition and dummy template(etext) in xml publisher admin responsibility.
For the Data definition , in the bottom if you scroll down you will see a link for upload preview xml data file.
After uploading the xml file access your template and you can see a preview icon.If you click it you will see a txt file popping up

Creation of sequence in etext template

Hi All,
I am creating a custom etext template for a invoice payment which will be forwarded to bank.
The file will be generated for each invoice payment made one at a time.
So, I have a requirement where in need to generate a sequence number in of the fields of the extext template. When the first file is send to bank, the sequence should be 1, for the second run the sequence should display 2 and so on.
Here we cannot use the <RESET AT LEVEL> as RECORD or LEVEL as we need to control the sequence outside the etext template and in the database. So, I believe we should use PERIODIC_SEQUENCE that controls the value in database level.
My question is how to achieve the relation between the database value and the etext template value.
ex:
<DEFINE SEQUENCE> allrecordsequence
<RESET AT LEVEL> PERIODIC_SEQUENCE
<INCREMENT BASIS> /outboundtransaction/paymentsequence[sequencename=allrecordsequence]/lastvalue + 1
<END DEFINE SEQUENCE> allrecordsequence
In the etext template
sequence(allrecordsequence)
The value in the etext template is always generation as 1, as the database record paymentsequence/lastvalue is null.
Here is the user guide notes:
Reset at Level
The reset at level subcommand defines where the sequence resets its starting number. It is a mandatory subcommand. For example, to number the payments in a batch, define the reset at level as Batch. To continue numbering across batches, define the reset level as RequestHeader.
In some cases the sequence is reset outside the template. For example, a periodic sequence may be defined to reset by date. In these cases, the PERIODIC_SEQUENCE keyword is used for the reset at level. The system saves the last sequence number used for a payment file to the database. Outside events control resetting the sequence in the database. For the next payment file run, the sequence number is extracted from the database for the start at number (see start at subcommand).
But the sequence value in the database is not getting incremented.
Appreciate an early response as it is really urgent.
Thank you in advance.

I have developed the solution using the below approach-
Requirement - ( My requirement was a little different to what was mentioned above)
     To generate a sequence number in the e-text template of a invoice payment file.
     In a day when the first file is send to the bank, the sequence should be 1, for the second file the sequence should be 2.
     For the next day run the sequence value should be reset to 1.
Approach 1) Use the IBY_FD_EXTRACT_EXT_PUB hook and Use sequence in the e-text template.
GET_INS_EXT_AGG procedure is called once only for the payment instruction.
It will add XML data element under OutboundPaymentInstruction tag.
Add a new XML tag with the successful count of the formatted payments in a day.
SQL query.
SELECT COUNT (1)
INTO v_payment_count
FROM iby_payments_all a
WHERE UPPER (a.org_name) = <org_name>
AND UPPER (a.payment_profile_sys_name) =
'profile system name'
AND TRUNC (a.creation_date) = TRUNC (SYSDATE)
AND a.payment_service_request_id <
(SELECT MAX (b.payment_service_request_id)
FROM iby_payments_all b);
In the e-text template use the sequence number
<DEFINE SEQUENCE>     RecordSeq1
<RESET AT LEVEL>     OutboundPaymentInstruction
<INCREMENT BASIS>     LEVEL
<START AT>          1
<END DEFINE SEQUENCE >     RecordSeq1
While referring to the sequence use :- SSPN_PAYMENT_COUNT + SEQUENCE_NUMBER(RecordSeq1)
to get the latest count of payment files.
Approach 2) Using payment system
<DEFINE SEQUENCE>      RecordsSeq1
<RESET AT LEVEL>      PERIODIC_SEQUENCE
<INCREMENT BASIS>      LEVEL
<START AT> /PaymentSequence[SequenceName=’RecordsSeq1’]/LastValue + 1
<END DEFINE SEQUENCE > RecordsSeq1
By using a PERIODIC_SEQUENCE it will periodically generate the numbers.
SEQUENCE_NUMBER(RecordsSeq1) is used to generate the number.
I believe we need to have a payment system defined and associate the same to a Payment Process Profile.
Only then can it have association with the last sequence number in the database.
Please correct me if the Approach#2 set up is incorrect.
Since Payment system was not necessary for the payment profile that we have used I have used approach 1
Approach 2 can be used as a guideline :)

Dynamic URL Configuration using variable range - WAD

Hi,
I am trying to configure a URL dynamically using variable range values. There are two variables which I pass to the URL, Sales Document Number and Posting Date. Sales Document Number has a single value and Posting Date is a range variable. The single value for sales document is passed to the URL but the date range is not passed and hence the web template gets the blank value for the date and shows the variable screen as this is mandatory. The URL is as follows.
CONCATENATE

l_portal_server

Date formats and etext templates

I have been working with etext templates in the last few days and am struggling with date conversion. My XML file has dates in the format DD-MON-YY and my output requires DDMMYYYY. It seems that the format conversion in etext template only works when the xml date is in the format YYYY-MM-DD. I thought I would convert the DD-MON-YY using a combination of TO_DATE and TO_CHAR but TO_CHAR doesn't seem to accept the date mask in etext templates. It looks like I will have to modify the original report unless someone has a way to achieve this in the template.
Thanks,
Dave

I had to change the report. You may be able to change the setup in the reports server to alter the default date format but I didn't want to do that in case it affected the output of any of the other reports that are being run. (N.B. I haven't tried this myself so not sure it can be done).
The change to the report is pretty simple, I just added a formula column that took a copy of the standard column in the report and used to_char to reformat the date. In my case I reformatted to YYYY-MM-DD so that I could use the template to change the format to the required style. This is just in case there is a later change in the output style so I won't have to modify the report again.
When the date in the XML is in the format YYYY-MM-DD the documented formatting options work (e.g. "Date , DDMMYYYY" would convert "2005-10-26" to "26102005").

Using variables in Illustrator

Hi,
I am trying to create templates which I can re-use for wireframing purposes, and I'm trying to find similar functionality as in OmniGraffle, where I can define generic fields, such as "Author", "Copyright" "Date", or "Description", and then insert them into the document.
Within the document in OmniGraffle, they are typically inserted by a variable convention that looks like this
<%CreationDate%>.
Some of those fields are then populated by the system (such as the creation date) or they can be filled in through a panel interface (such as description).
I did some research, but all I could find seems to be related to batch operations such as replacing graphics. Are there at least some basic variables that can be created?

Illustrator does have the option to use variables (Window - Variables). However the variables capabilities of Illustrator isn't nearly as robust as InDesigns and it's also a lot more difficult to use as you can't just create a nice easy to follow Excel CSV file and use that, instead it uses an XML sheet with a naming convention that is more difficult to follow. The general concensus is to avoid Illustrator's variables and use InDesign unless you absolutely must. It's rather unfortunate that Adobe has added better usable to the variables in Illustrator, it could be extremely handy.

Error using variables in BEx

Hi experts
We use NW 04s BI SP09 and NW 04s EP SP09. We have made two queries that work fine. We have tested them in RSRT and the variables (both have customer exits and manual input) are filled. They work fine if we run them in our portal one by one. If we put one of the queries in a web template it still works fine. The problem occurs when we put two or more queries (with customer exits in both queries) into one template and use the variable screen. If we dont use the variable screen (VARIABLE_SCREEN = OFF) the error dont occur. I pasted a typical error message we get below (using variable screen). The error message is displayed after the variable screen has been filled out (0P_KAYD2) and checked.
