XML output in Apps instead of PDF

Hi All,
I have converted several Oracle reports to XML Publisher and working fine in EBS. The problem I have is that I am getting the XML instead of a PDF output when running a report under Release Sales Orders form(Pick Slip). I am able to preview the PDF output in the XML Admin page using similar XML file.
I have the concurrent program definition changed to XML from text and XMLP template/data definition configured. Any idea on the issue?
Best regards,
MM

Hi MM,
Are you still in 11i? Check if the report(Pick Slip) is being submitted thru document set (OM(R)> Setup> Shipping> Documents> Document Sets)… if yes, then you probably need to apply a patch... or have you tried Gareth's solution explicitly calling from report AfterReport trigger?

Error in getting xml output from Apps

I have developer 10g. Whatever report (rdf) I create I face exactly the same problem. I register the report (rdf) in Apps and select xml format as the output. But when I run it to get the xml file, I get the following error
The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.
A semi colon character was expected. Error processing resource 'http://XXXX.XXXX.XXX.XXX:8000/OA_CGI/FNDWRR.exe?temp_id=3547...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="&Encoding"?>
---------------------------------------^If I use Reports 6i to create exactly the same report (rdf) everything works fine (i.e I get the xml file when I run it).
What is the issue with 10g?

If you have & or any other special characters like < ,>
& lt;      <      less than
& gt;      >      greater than
& amp;      &      ampersand
& apos;      '      apostrophe
& quot;      "      quotation mark
these , have to replaced by the equivalent in the sql queries. to get like & lt; , & gt; ,
because these are pre-defined in XML , so the xml will error out , if you any of these characters in the xml element value.

Form suddenly returning xml file via email instead of pdf

I've got a form online that has been working the way I wanted for at least several months which is to send a completed pdf form (job application)as an attachment via email. Now I just received an email with an xml file instead of the pdf file. When I go to the website and test the online form it sends it as a pdf. So what could have caused one specific form to come back as an xml file? Could it be the type of browser, lack of Reader? Thanks for any assistance.

I know I set up the form with the extended reader rights, I would guess that both reader and acrobat were being utilized for this form. It seems strange to me that out of the blue the form sent in this manner if the permissions haven't been modified since it was setup nearly 6 months ago. Thanks for the feedback!

XML Publisher Report not generating the PDF output.

Hi,
I am trying to develop a XML Publisher Report in R12 Vision Instance.
I have developed the rdf report and concurrent program with XML as output format. Ran the concurrent program and I got the XML output. Based on XML output I have created the rtf template. Using both the template and xml output I have created in Data Definition and Template in XML Publisher Administrator Responsibility. Now I am comming to the concurrent program and running the program, here instead of generating the PDF output it is generating again the XML output and concurrent program completing with warning status.
When I am trying to do the same in 11i Vision Instance, Concurrent Program completing with normal status and when trying to view the output it is saying "Unable to Publish output for the Processed Request".
Kindly please help me out in this issue.
Thanks,
Manasa.

Hi Mahesh,
Here the concurrent programs are not erroring out. It is completing with Warning status and when we click on View Output the output is coming in XML format instead of PDF, this is in R12 Vision Instance.
In 11i Vision Instance, concurrent program is completing with Normal Status but when we click on View Output it is saying "Unable to Publish output for specified request".
Thanks,
Manasa.

How to generate PDF from XML output without XML publisher

Hi,
I am facing a problem while splitting the rdf generated XML output.
Problem Description:
I have a oracle invoice report which runs once every day (scheduled program). This report fetches me the invoices generated on that day and needs to be Mailed / Faxed to the customers.
So i developed the report in such a way that it generates the output order by customers...since the output generated will be as one .out file in APPLCSF/out directory...the .out file needs to be splitted by customers, for which i have written a cursor which takes the data of the main query and submits that many requests as many as customers are there.....There is a possibility of having 1000 customers per day also. If that is the case then my main program will fire that many requests.
Is there a different approach......any inputs are highly appreciated.
Also, i am generating the output in XML format. Is there a way from which i can directly generate a PDF from that XML output rather using any other tool.
Thanks & Regards,
Lakshmi Kalyan Vara Prasad.

Hi,
with Reports Bursting and the defined "distributions" it's possible to have one report splittet to several parts with different receipients. Have a look at http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14504_01/dl/bi/B13673_01/pbr_dist.htm.
With xsl-fo it's possible to create pdf out of xml ... that's what xml publisher is doing.

Is it possible to create a Webservice in BI which takes XML as an input and gives PDF as output with an additional requirement that Siebel expecting the XSD from BI to send data in the BI requested format

Is it possible to create a Webservice in BI which takes XML as an input and gives PDF as output with an additional requirement that Siebel expecting the XSD from BI to send data in the BI requested format. Siebel wants to send the data as xml to BI but not sure of the BI capabilities on giving WSDL embedded with XSD (input is a hierarchical)

Hi All,
I am able to fulfil above requirement. Now I am stuck at below point. Need your help!
Is there any way to UPDATE the XML file attached to a Data Definition (XML Publisher > Data Definition) using a standard package or procedure call or may be an API from backend? I am creating an XML dynamically and I want to attach it to its Data Definition programmatically using SQL.
Please let me know if there is any oracle functionality to do this.
If not, please let me know the standard directories on application/database server where the XML files attached to Data Definitions are stored.
For eg, /$APPL_TOP/ar/1.0/sql or something.

XML Publisher generating XML output vs. PDF

Hi
When I run the report directly as a concurrent program, it generates PDF without any problem. But when I submit the report via a package, it generates XML output.
Actually, the package submits multiple XMLP reports. All the XMLP report submissions generate PDF output without any problem, except one which generates XML output. What could be the reason? Please advise.

Smita

XML output for pdf concurrent program

Hi,
We have one custom concurrent program defined with output as pdf.
We want to generate an xml output some times. We dont want to register another concurrent program.
We want to use same concurrent program, but want to generate output some times pdf , some times xml.
Please suggest whether any possible way of doing this even using CONCSUB also fine.
Thank you,
Venkat.

Hi Ramana;
We want to submit the concurrent program, but output type either as xml or pdf it will be known during runtime.AFAIK if you prepare template in XML publisher than you can take output as pdf, by the way you can take xml output too
Please check user guide:

XML output while running in Apps 11i

Hi,
I'm running a report in Oracle Applications 11i. Is it possible to customize the report so that when it runs (invoked as a concurrent request), it generates XML output (to a file) rather than (or in addition to) a report on screen? Is there some parameter setting that would allow this?
Thanks,
- NR

hello,
in case the version you use is 6i you can use the parameters DESFORMAT, DESTYPE and DESNAME to determine type, format and destination of your report.
by spefifying DESTYPE=FILE DESFORMAT=XML DESNAME=myfile.xml it will produce a file called myfile.xml in XML format.
the only thing that is questionable, is if applications 11i lets you specify these parameters. you will have to check that with your applications 11i support.

the oracle reports team

In XML Output the values of Number column tags are not displayed properly

Hi,
Our Client have been using AR Invoice Print Program for a long time and it is heavily customized. Also they are using an old version of the RDF. So we have taken the latest version of the RDF (RAXINV.rdf) for Oracle Apps 11.5.10.2 by raising a SR and implement Client's old RAXINV.rdf into it.
All was ok, but when we are running the program, the XML Output did not generate properly. For the Q_INVOICE query (G_ORDER_BY, G_INVOICE and G_INV_TERM group), the value of some of the scaler number columns are not appeared properly. The tags are coming correctly, but the value is appearing as '*', instead of the correct value. We have checked in the RDF Level (By putting srw.message and check in the log file) that those columns are having proper value. So there is no issue with the RDF.
But because of the above mentioned problem, the some of the PDF output field values also is not generated correctly.
I think that because of the lexical parameters which was implementing the Q_INVOICE query (&COMMON_QUERY) this issue is coming. Because the issue is only in the Q_INVOICE query group (G_ORDER_BY, G_INVOICE and in G_INV_TERM group) not in any other query group.
There is no problem with the scaler character columns. The issue is only with the number columns.
Also we have checked that if we hardcode the value of the number columns in the above mentioned lexical parameter, this problem doesn't appear.
If we put TO_CHAR function to those number columns in the lexical parameter (COMMON_QUERY), then this issue get solved. But we can't do it because of performance issue and also Client won't approve it.
Please help.
With Thanks and Regards

I don't know how to read the code you pasted or I would have checked this myself.
Do your fields in the internal table reference dictionary objects or elementary types? If not using dictionary types, the column names will be blank by default. If you can't change your fields to be dictionary types, you can try this to change the column names:
I made a method inside my local class to add the names:
        call method set_colname
          EXPORTING iv_tab = alv_tab
                    iv_colid = 'xxxx' "fieldname from the table
                    iv_stxt = text-t54
                    iv_mtxt = text-t55
                    iv_ltxt = text-t55.
METHOD set_colname .
data:
          alv_cols type REF TO cl_salv_columns_table,
          alv_col type REF TO cl_salv_column.
TRY .
*... Change fieldnames
        call METHOD iv_tab->get_columns RECEIVING value = alv_cols.
        call method alv_cols->get_column EXPORTING columnname = iv_colid RECEIVING value = alv_col.
        IF iv_stxt <> ''.
          CALL METHOD alv_col->set_short_text EXPORTING value = iv_stxt.
        ENDIF.
        IF iv_mtxt <> ''.
          CALL METHOD alv_col->set_medium_text EXPORTING value = iv_mtxt.
        ENDIF.
        IF iv_ltxt <> ''.
          CALL METHOD alv_col->set_long_text EXPORTING value = iv_ltxt.
        ENDIF.
   CATCH cx_salv_not_found.
ENDTRY.
ENDMETHOD. "set_colname
