Hai,
Can anyone tell me the procedures to be followed for calling a XML publisher APIs in EBS to get certain output format?
Thanks in Advance.

How to trigger xml publisher API (ex:Delivering Documents via e-Mail)?
Dear All:
How to use xml publisher API ?
In user's guide always talk API's code.(ex:Delivering Documents via e-Mail
// create delivery manager instance
DeliveryManager dm = new DeliveryManager();
// create a delivery request
DeliveryRequest req =
dm.createRequest(DeliveryManager.TYPE_SMTP_EMAIL);
// set email subject
req.addProperty(DeliveryPropertyDefinitions.SMTP_SUBJECT, "Invoice");
// set SMTP server host
req.addProperty(
DeliveryPropertyDefinitions.SMTP_HOST, "mysmtphost");
// set the sender email address
req.addProperty(DeliveryPropertyDefinitions.SMTP_FROM,
"[email protected]");
// set the destination email address
req.addProperty(
DeliveryPropertyDefinitions.SMTP_TO_RECIPIENTS,
"[email protected], [email protected]" );
// set the content type of the email body
req.addProperty(DeliveryPropertyDefinitions.SMTP_CONTENT_TYPE,
"text/html");
// set the document file name appeared in the email
req.addProperty(DeliveryPropertyDefinitions.SMTP_CONTENT_FILENAME,
"body.html");
// set the document to deliver
req.setDocument("/document/invoice.html");
// submit the request
req.submit();
// close the request
req.close(); )
Not say how to use this code to account effect !!
Having anybody to use API before?
Please tell me how to use that,thanks!!

This is the class for a JCP I created to perform the following:
1) Launch an existing Concurrent Program that produces PDF output
2) Grab the PDF and apply a watermark based on user input or conditions
3) associate the modified PDF to CP output for PASTA printing
It isn't elegant but it is fairly simple. I added the email capability and tested it but am not implementing it at the present time.
there is a fair amount of information out there that explains how to create a JCP councurrent program but very little that demonstrates the class needed.
I hope this helps -
Hi,
I am looking for complete XML Publisher Java API Docs. Any pointers would be helpful.
Thanks in Advance
~NeerajThe document
XML Publisher 5.6.2 Core Components APIs
can be found here:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/xml-publisher/xmlpdocs.html -
Where to find - javadocs for XML Publisher' API
The XML Publisher User's Guide section, called Implementation and Developer's Guide->Application Layer APIs, has examples of API's for inserting Templates and Data Definitions.
Unfortunately, XML publisher manual only provides a bunch of
samples and not the detailed javadocs, that wee need.
Where could we find javadoc for XML Publisher?Hi
You did not specify which version you were on but the java docs are linked from the relevant About Doc for each release:
Release 5.5 Note 316447.1
Release 5.0 Note 295036.1
Release 4.5 Note 269605.1
Just search for 'javadoc' in these docs for the link

Hi friends!
I need to convert RTF files into XSL. So I'm running the following simple code:
RTFProcessor rtfProcessor1 = new RTFProcessor("c:\\example.rtf");
rtfProcessor1.setOutput("c:\\example.xsl");
rtfProcessor1.process();
but i'm getting the following error:
java.lang.NullPointerException

But opening "example.rtf" with MSWord and resaving it I will get no error.
Why?
I need to convert a huge amount of RTF files so I need to know the reason of this strange error.
Thank you!Hi,
The error could be in the path what you are providing (\\)
I have been using this API quite sometime for now, and have not faced any issue. Please find the code below. Try giving a single \ in the path. It should work fine
try
RTFProcessor processor = new RTFProcessor("c:\test.rtf");
processor.setOutput("c:\test.xsl");
processor.process();
catch (Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();

Hi all,
I want certain clarifications n XML Publisher reporting tool
1.I have attached a java code to call the report and have hard coded the location of rtf file and the datatemplate.
But we dont want to hardcode the location.What are the possible ways to prevent hardcoding.
2.From XML Publisher Administration responsibility, I created a data definition and a template(RTF Template)
But we are not registering the report as a concurrent program.So how to use data definition and the templates directly in the java program.
3.What are the steps to be performed to make the report translatable.

Sangheetha.Hi Sangheetha,
I am new to Java, and working on the XMLP 5.6.3 with EBS 11.5.9.
Where to write this Java code for bursting or the Java API's documented in XML Publisher user guide. JDevloper tool is required to do this, if yes pls let me know which version should i go for and how can use for XMLP to develop reports, i mean how to integrate the JDeveloper with XML Publisher and EBS.
I really appriciate your early reply.
Thanks,

Hi,
We are using XML Publisher API to generate PDF,EXCEL outputs using Template. While adding image to the template its showing in the pdf output. But not showing in the Excel output. Then i added url:{/Image} in the alt text of the image in template and submitted the report again now able to see the image in excel output. Can you please tell me why its not showing the image in excel by default which is right happening in case of PDF. Iam getting the same issue for HTML outputs generation also. Please tell me what i can do to get the image by default same as the way i am getting in PDF.
Thanks

SatyaHi Alex,
Thanks for your suggession.
I have two OAF versions and i found the xml publisher version from the below java file
$OA_JAVA/oracle/apps/xdo/common/MetaInfo.class
in both 11.5.10 and 12.1.1 OAF versions i am seeing the below line of code
public static final String VERSION = "Oracle XML Publisher 5.6.3";
when i login to the application and went to the About this page option available there
in 11.5.10 i got to see that the version
is XML Oracle XDK Java 9.0.4.0.0 Production
in 12.1.1 version
XML Oracle XML Developers Kit 10.1.3.130 - Production
But as per your seggession from the MOS document 736897.1, i came to know that it is an issue in 5.6.3
Can you please tell me how to find out my xml publisher version in different EBS versions.
I am using Office 2007.
Finally,
in the document i can see that
Applies to:
*BI Publisher (formerly XML Publisher) - Version 11.5 to 12.1 [Release 11.5 to 12.1]*
Information in this document applies to any platform.
Means this issue is not fixed even in 12.1.3.
To resolve this issue,do we need to do the manual image setup like the way menioned in the document 736897.1?
Thanks

How to use 2 vo's in xml publisher pdf genarate report from oaf--urgent
Hi Guru's,
i am integrating xml publisher report from oaf. I found one good artical published by prabaker in apps2fusion site and i implemented the same. But it is used onley one view object to generate pdf. But in my case i want to use 4 view objects to generate report as pdf. So, kindly suggest me how to resolve this issue.
below i mentioned the site name whihc i follwed to implement my requirement.

pls help me as i am not getting , how to solve this issue.
Thanks in advance.
KeerthanaHi,
When we develop simple XML report also we used to get single data source either generated either from RDF or PL/SQL, in OAF XML data is coming from VO and XML Publisher API’s will process that data.
This approach works fine if you are having one VO, but if you are having two VOs then it is not possible (As per my understanding and comparing this scenario with simple XML publisher report).
I also faced same problem few months back, on my form I was having two VOs one for header and other for Lines and I have generate Report to show the data for both Headers and Lines. In my case I created a separate VO that was containing both Header and Line details and I was passing header Id to query that. I used query this VO only when someone clicks on “Print” button and it worked fine for me.

Defining page size in XML Publisher
Can we define page size using XML Publisher APIs.
We have a problem where a single RTF template will be used for different countries and depending upon the country, the report needs to be printed on Letter or A4 or anything.
I could find a parameter for Orientation but none for page size.
Is there something we can do for defining page size or we need to rely on the printer setup.
Regards,
Satrajitto which column do u wnat to calculate goto that column
<?add-page-total:variable_name;Column_name?>
ex: <?add-page-total:inv;INVOICE_AMOUNT?>
finally goto footer write
<?show-page-total:inv;"999G990D00"?> -

Hi, I am looking for documentation for the Java APIs. I have the XML Publisher User Guide but would like some reference documentation for the APIs, javadoc or otherwise.
Is there also any documentation aimed specifically at interacting with XML Publisher from an external application using the core APIs?The javadoc is included with the XML Publisher enterprise 5.6.2 in the doc folder.
Hope that helps,

Oracle XML Publisher Java API's showing arabic characters as question marks
Hi All,
I have created a custom xml publisher report. All the setups in xdo.cfg and the fonts have been installed. When i run the report as concurrent program using the XDODTEXE as the executable this report executes fine displaying the arabic characters in the PDF output.
I have integrated this xml report to a OAF page where am getting the output of the arabic characters as ???????
Following is the java code i have used to generate the blob for the xml publisher report.

AnoopOn a related note, I am seeing a couple of different types of 'incorrect' characters based on different NLS_LANG settings.
If it is set to AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8, I get characters like this:
رقم الموظ�
If it is set to ARABIC_UNITED ARAB EMIRATES.AR8MSWIN1256, I get characters like this:
ÑÞã ÇáãæÙÝ
Do any of you know what these characters are?
Thanks for any insight. -

Supports fax and email delivery of Oracle’s XML Publisher-generated reports.
so any one suggest it is better to go this product for delivery fax and email through
oracle connector...

<xapi:request select="/PAYSLIP_REPORT/PAYSLIP/EMPLOYEE_DETAILS/ORGANIZATION_ID">
