XML Publisher 5.6 standalone

Does anybody know what the release date of XML-Publisher 5.6 for standalone will be?
I already saw the beta version on the blog of Mark Rittman.
Thanks Marcos

Hi Wendy,
As I told you - I can't help with the footnotes right now, but I can help with multiple styles.
We needed to use in contracs text that contained rich text (bold, italics, lists).
What we did is the following. We marked the text up as XHTML. (Note it has to be XML compliant). We put marks in such as < B > < / B >. Now in Oracle Contracts we used just real HTML and corrected everything with a program an through out all tags that we didn't care about.
If you tags in your text you can write an XSL stylesheet that replaces the < B > tag to any kind of XSL-FO tags that for example change the font or make the text bold. Let me know, if that would help you.
For bursting we are woking on a bursting API - that can email the output or store in a file system unfortunately not in the database yet.

XML Publisher 5.6 Standalone for Solaris

When will this version be ready? I see the Windows and Linux versions are already t here.

Hi Naveeny,
You can download any of these installs. It contains manual installation instructions that explain how to install on any platform. We currently do not plan to have an installer for Solaris, but I install most of the time manually myself. The installer installs its own oc4j instance and jdk.
If you want to deploy on any existing application server you need to deploy manually anyway. Just download the cd unzip and read the install.htm or install.pdf.
Hope that is acceptable to you.

Using dataTemplate on standalone XML Publisher doesn't work?

Hi guys, I'm using standalone XML Publisher. I created a report based on the next Data Template:
<dataTemplate name="BasicQueryDT" description="Simple query data template" dataSourceRef="rec_hum">
     <dataQuery>
          <sqlStatement name="basicQuery">
               <![CDATA[
         select to_char(sysdate, 'dd/mm/yyyy') today
         from   dual
      ]]>
          </sqlStatement>
     </dataQuery>
     <dataStructure>
          <group name="G_Main" source="basicQuery">
               <element name="TheDate" value="today"/>
          </group>
     </dataStructure>
</dataTemplate>Then I defined a RTF template to display the results, I used the Word Template Builder for this. The template is very simple and it is just a one column table with these place holders:
<?for-each:G_Main?> <?TheDate?><?end for-each?>But when I run the report it shows nothing, just the header of the table. I know the query is executed because if I place a syntax error into the query I can see the java.sql.Exception on the XMLPSERVER console (I'm running it local by now).
Can someone help me and point out what I'm doing wrong here?
I'd really appreciate it.
Thank you all.

Just run the XML first without a template, you get:
<BasicQueryDT>
     <LIST_G_MAIN>
     <G_MAIN>
<THEDATE>12/06/2006</THEDATE>
</G_MAIN>
</LIST_G_MAIN>
</BasicQueryDT>
Per default we always the generate Upper Case field names. So <?THEDATE?> should work in the template.
Thanks,
Klaus

Configuring XML Publisher for Standalone EnterpriseOne 8.12

Could someone please help me in configuring XML Publisher for Standalone EnterpriseOne 8.12.
As per the installation guide for 8.12, I have created a new data source to SQL Server named EnterpriseOne Local.
Also, I have used "With Windows NT authentication using the network login ID" for this ODBC.
Now I tried :
Data Source Name : EnterpriseOne Local
URL : jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://localhost:1433
User : My NT domain ID
Password : MY NT domain password
Database Driver Class : com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver
in XML publishers admin tab, but it doesnt work.
Is the above setting correct?

make sure you can connect with "my NT domain ID"/"my NT domain password" in SQLserver Mangement studio express using SQL server authenication.
Try the setting using JDeveloper for DB conncection. If not successful then u must add the
sqljdbc.jar into your JAVA_HOME/lib

XML Publisher in a distributed enviroment

Can we run XML Publisher on it own server?
If so how do we pickup the output of a report in the concurrent reqest manager and bring it over to the XMLP server to bind it to a template?
We are running everything in the EBS.
Thanks
Mark

We would like to run the reports on the enterprise edition (stand alone) server and this works well if we just execute a sql statement pointed at a data source.
We are looking to print invoices and this is now handled though reports in concurrent manger. We would like to try and offload the process to the xmlp stand alone server if possible.
We have been able to get the invoices in xml format by using our current xml 5.0 with the Output Post Processor patch and register the templates all on the apps server but we would like to dedicate the process all on the xmlp standalone server if possible.
If anyone has a architecture drawing showing how to split up the different boxes, servers and products that would be great.
We want to generate ebs reports like invoices, PO's etc.
Thanks

Creating pdf report from xml publisher report

Hi,
I'm newbie to xmlpublisher env.
We've a report in Oracle 11i developed in unix shell script and run as concurrent program generating check details which will be printed on checks.
I was asked to migrate this report into R12 in pdf format.They provided rtf template and xml data.I installed xml publisher desktop.I would like to know how I can create pdf template,if necessary changing the position of fields on the template.
Thanks,
Kiran

Hi Kiran,
Sorry to say, but no you can not use the desktop or standalone edition for integration with EBS.
In your case there are 2 alternatives for you:
1) Update the Unix shell script so it's ok for R12 (it did a good job for a long time on 11i)
2) Leave the unix script and redesign for BI Publisher (ebs edition)
Both are taking the same effort in my opinion, only since you moved to R12 it's a good learning moment to get to know the strength of BIP.
Since you task is to modify the standard Oracle solution, which i guess is an rtf template provided download the MS Word plugin and adjust the template
If any detail help needed please contact me directly

Migration of our reports from Streamserve to XML publisher in Oracle EBS

Dear All,
I am working for a company using Oracle Applications 11.5.10.2 and we have several critical reports developped with Streamserve V3 (Customer Invoice , Sales Order Acknowledgment, Shipping Advice, PO layout, ...).
For various reasons we plan to abandon Streamserve and migrate to XML publisher or BI publisher whose functionalities seem to cover most of our needs.
However, my knowledge of XMLP/BIP is quite basic and I need some information on how to implement the reports.
I will be very glad and grateful if someone accepts to share his/her experience by answering a few questions :
1) What are the main differences between the XML publisher version included in APPS 11.5.10.2 and the standalone version of BI publisher ?
2) In most of our reports the language depends on the third party (vendor, customer, carrier, ...) so in the same report batch we can have some documents to be printed in English, while some other should be in French.
Is it possible to achieve that with XMLP or is the language to be chosen when submitting the concurrent request ?
3) As for languages, the delivery of the document (email or printed paper) depends also on the third party.
Is it possible in a same batch to have some documents emailed and other not ?
4) The bursting engine seems to be the main solution to manage the way documents are delivered.
a) How can we automatically launch it after the main request completion ? (most of our reports are scheduled to run periodically)
b) Is it possible to make bursting with a dynamically generated control file ?
c) What if the bursting engine does not couver all our needs ? Is there a way to develop our own deliver logic ? If so, where to find a step by step procedure to achieve that ? (knowing that we are newbies in Java language)
5) Some of our reports must be generated in PCL rather than PDF. I think that is not native in XMLP so what may be the workaround ?
Thanks in advance for your very helpfull answers.
Best regards
Karim Helali

Thank you Steven for your quick reply.
Here are my comments/precisions :
1) What we would like to konw is what are the functionnalities included only in that standalone version. This way we can decide if it is worth paying the quite expensive extra licence for BIP or if the EBS version of XMLP is enough for us.
I tried out to find this quite basic information without success. If anyone can indicate an oracle reference document
2) I know that the language is chosen via the template. Also, when you submit an XMLP concurrent request in EBS you have to choose which template to apply for the layout. So it looks like it is not posssible within a unique concurrent request to generate documents in more than one language. Is it so or am I missing something ?
3) Regarding documents multiple delivery management, I undertsand that we can do it either with bursting engine or with specific JAVA code implementing XMLP APIS. Even we are newbies in JAVA, we can deal with that. But I am quite puzzled as I find nowhere a document that explains how to develop that and especially how to integrate this within EBS.
Let me explain you our current logic with Streamserve and let me know how this can be implemented within XMLP :
- a report is setup in EBS as Executable type = SqlPlus / Output Type=PDF
- the SQLPLUS scripts takes into account the user request's parameters and generate an XML(like) file including all the data
- at the end the SQLPLUS calls a specific shell that runs the Streamserve step : the XML file is passed to the specific streamserve binary report wich generates several outputs (global PDF for the concurrent request output + global PCL flow sent to the printer queue + 0-n physical file(s) for archiving + 0-n email(s) sent ...)
- The language and delivery modes are not unique within a batch: they are decided per document in the streamserve binary report (based on third party setup included in the XML data file). So we don't need to launch a report batch per language or delivery mode.
I think such process should be possible using XMLP java APIS but I am quite stuck as I don't know how to start. Has anyone implemented such a global process in EBS with XML ?
Thanks again

PCL Commands in XML Publisher

Is it at all possible to send PCL commands to the printer in XML Publisher like it is in Oracle Reports. We need to be able to change the print tray in the XML Publisher template. In Brazil there is a legal requirement to print the Nota Fiscal with 2 copies on one type of paper and 2 copies on another type of paper. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Brett

Hi Brett:
We would like to accomodate your requirement, but it might not be possible to embed PCL, since all our printed documents are converted to PDF first and PDF is printer independent.
However, it should be possible to provide a solution that prints the document 2 times on one printer and 2 times on another pritner. Do you require this for a single document, document batch or bursting scenario (same document to different output channels?)
Our 5.6.1 bursting support may be able to help with this requirement. Is that for e-Business Suite or Standalone XML Publisher?

New in XML Publisher

Hi
I'd like to know what do i need to start working with XML Publisher.
Thanks

The usage inside EBS (as XML Pub) isn't that different than using BI Publisher standalone, of which, you can easily download and install on your PC. After installing the add-in for Word, you will have tons of examples. I also mentioned Oracle By Example. Had you looked there already, you would see lots of examples there as well. What is it that you want people to provide for you more than that? But, the direct answer to your question is yes. Read the documentation that comes with EBS. You can also buy a book (published in Europe, written in English, available at http://www.amazon.com/BI-Publisher-Oracle-E-Business-Suite/dp/1847991157). You can also spend $300 plus about $42 in tax/shipping to buy the Oracle University CD-ROMs.

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 and HTML DB

Hello;
Is anyone out there have integrated the XML Publisher with Application Express (aka HTML DB) ?
Thank you.
Shaun

Hi Mike,
i'm looking for the same info about integrating xml pub with htmldb.
For now i'm only testing it, however i heard that can be paid as well 40$ for employee.
Is not too much as we pay as well microsoft...
However would be nice to have a separate price list regarding only the xml publ. (such as it's a standalone product)
However did you go further into the evaluation of htmldb + xml pub?
thanx
