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 Definition - Excel Template Issue

Hi everyone,
I'm Diego, and I've been getting some issue to upload/download Excel templates using XML Publisher and Report Definition.
I've been working over Real Estate Module and I get an activity to make an Excel Report. I've made all necessary step to make an excel template; create a .xls template, uploading the file to XML Publisher Repository, creating a Report Definition associating a RDA, and so on...
When I generate the file in the Web (DV), it doesnt work; when I download the final excel, it doesnt appear any information. It comes just the statics texts and formatting, the real data information inside xml doesn't appear at excel.
I've made a lot of tests and changes, but without success.
FYI, I've already made a .rtf template and it worked well.
I'd really apreciate if anyone help me or at least having any clue about it.
Thanks so much,
Diego Santos

Hi my friend,
First of all, thanks for reply.
I've checked the template definition, and it seems OK.
I've created the XML Publish Repository with Object Type = TL, in excel template I didn't put any additional info, (the field Template Type = TYPE_EXCEL_TEMPLATE cames by default).
As I told above, i've made many tests..with and without grouping, but no success.
However, when I test it locally it works. When I test the .xls + xml using Template Viewer runs well. But when I download the .xls on Web, it didn't retrieve any data information. =/
I've already downloaded this doc, and I'm using it as support.
If you need any more information, pls let me know that I'll tell you in a sec.
Thanks a lot,
Diego

We recently upgraded to TestStand 2012, and we are having trouble with the creating a readable report. We have the results set to .xml. Previously we were using TestStand 4.2 and we were able to convert the .xml to .xls using a stylesheet. But this doesn't work now. I’m getting an error – doesn’t have a top level element. We installed TestStand 2012 using a new enterprise site license, and I wondering if we are missing something on the install. I don't see any TestStand 2012 folder in the C:\Program Files\National Instruments\TestStand xxx. Also is there a better way to create reports that are already converted to .xls, so that anyone can read the reports using excel?
Thanks, Dale
I do not think TestStand ships with a stylesheet to do any such conversion, so I am assuming this is a custom stylesheet that you have either written or gotten from a 3rd party. It's possible something is formatted differently in the xml in TestStand 2012 that your stylesheet is not expecting. You might need to debug and modify your stylesheet to make it work with TestStand 2012.
There should be a TestStand folder. Perhaps you are on a 64-bit OS in which case the folder would be located at:
C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\TestStand xxx
Hope this helps,

XML Publisher report default output in Excel format.

Hi,
We have defined one concurrent program whose output format is text, this concurrent program executable is PL/SQL and in this PL/SQL program we are generating XML data and displaying XML using below fnd_request.
l_conc_id := FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST('GMP','GMPPDROP','', '',FALSE,
p_sequence_num,chr(0),'','','','','','','','','','','',
We have also defined template for this.
Using below fnd_request we are choosing template and data is getting generated in PDF format. Now our requirement is to display the output by default in Excel format.
FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST('XDO','XDOREPPB','', '',FALSE,'',
l_conc_id,554,G_comb_pdr_temp,
G_comb_pdr_locale,'Y','RTF','',scale_report,'','','','','',
When i saw XML Report Publisher concurrent program, there is one parameter for Output Format and i tried passing 'Excel'/EXCEL/excel to this parameter but output is still coming in PDF format.
FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST('XDO','XDOREPPB','', '',FALSE,'',
l_conc_id,554,G_comb_pdr_temp,
G_comb_pdr_locale,'Y','RTF','Excel',scale_report,'','','','','',
I have also tried giving Default Output to EXCEL in template definition but this is also not working.
Your valuable suggestions highly appreciated.
Thanks

Excel output for the xml publisher report when it is [b]scheduled [/b]

How to get the excel output for the xml publisher report when it is scheduled by a apps user? Like what is the user profile option (for the apps user who runs the report) and what are the other things that needs to be taken care of so that only this xml publisher report run by this apps user produces a EXCEL output (When scheduled) ???
Really appreciate it if any one can help me in this regards.
Thanks
Munna

Hi Munna,
For eBusiness Suite (apps user) the report output is stored the same way whether executed immediately or scheduled.,To get excel set the options > output format to Excel. Only the user that submitted the report can view it, or you can get the output file from the server. Or you can set the notify option so that a Workflow Notification is sent when the request completes.

XML Publisher report not printing excel output due to special characters

Hello,
I am trying to create a xml publisher report which should display the output in excel. But the program completes with a warning status and the output is displayed as XML instead of excel, with some errors "An invalid character was found in text content. Error processing resource " and i think these errors are due to the special characters(eg: city/province - A Coruña, Cáceres). If i give rownum < 10 in my query, where there are no such characters it works fine and i am getting an excel output.
Tried changing the XML encoding and it doesn't help (both mentioned below)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
Do anyone have a solution for this
Thanks in advance

Hi Dev,
You can try below ways
1>change the setting in table properties to fit table cell as per contents.
2>or create a table and inside that create one more inner table and add your fields.
3>or Create .XLS layout it will come properly.

Hi Vetsrini,
We're on 10.1.3.4.1 and siebel 8.1.1.3 and when trying to open a report from within siebel in the output format EXCEL (selected from the parameter applet), it just opens the document in the browser.
Is there a way to get it to open directly in Excel? I guess the reason is the file extension*.EXCEL, how could we get the extension to be in excel format (xls)?
We don't want our users to have to do this themself.

When running an xml publisher report the xml output leads to 9 mb and the excel output file leads to 20 mb. The records contained in excel file is 4000 records. When taking the excel records and copy to new excel file the excel file size is 3.5 mb only.Why does the oracle software generates 20mb file?
Does any one knows the answer please advice?

Hello,
This issue is because the Excel output from BI Publisher is MHTML (XML Publisher generates XHTML) not binary .xls.
MHTML and XHTML are more verbose formats than binary .xls.
It will be large because the current Excel output is just an HTML and not compressed like PDF. Please use the workaround (save it as .xls file). This is a known limitation of RTF layout templates.
BI Publisher Enterprise has a new feature True Excel Templates. The layouts generate binary Excel output.
Excel Output File Size Generated By BI Publisher is Very Large (Doc ID 760437.1)

Can we use xml Publisher reporting for sql* Plus in EBS

Hello All,
The current report is designed in Sql* Plus Executable report and the output is in txt format, Now the requirement is to have the output in Excel format.
So is it possible to use the xml reporting and make the output as Excel from the word template we design from MSword as we do for rdf(I have done few reports created in rdf to xml publisher reports in EBS and stand alone as well.).
