XML Publisher Bursting - FTP Status Check

"XML Publisher Report Bursting Program" completes successfully even if EMAIL or FTP fails in the bursting process.
See the output file below, last FTP fails but the program completed fine.
Is there a way to check the Status and mark the program error so that we know it's not FTP'ed correctly.

  • XML Publisher Bursting Program - limitation of email addresses

    In the XML Publisher Bursting program we were able to add only 3 email addresses(containing 87 characters) the email was sent successfully.
    When we tried to concatenate with another email address (it went up to 115 characters), the email was not sent to any of the email addresses (but the bursting program completed with normal status)
    Is there any limitation in adding the email address in the tag
    <xapi:message id="123" to="[email protected],[email protected],[email protected]" attachment="true" subject="${MAIL_SUBJECT}">${BURST_MAIL_BODY}</xapi:message>

    oracle seeded XDO regions is available to integrate concurrent program in the page.
    You got to extend this RN oracle.apps.xdo.oa.common.DocumentViewerRn.xml
    And oracle.apps.xdo.oa.common.DocumentHelperAPI, should help you to download or View from the page
    Its straight forward , given in the doc i guess.

  • XML Publisher Bursting using different locale settings

    Hi,
    I have a report that shows numeric fields in different format mask if I select different template each time while submitting request. One template file's language is English and its territory is United States. Other template file's language is German and its territory is Germany. English template shows number like 1,500.94 ( "," comma as digit grouping symbol and "." period as decimal symbol) which is fine. German template shows 1.500,94 ( "." period as digit grouping symbol and "," comma as decimal symbol). So everything is great for me until I am using XML Bursting. Even if I specified german templates in bursting control file the output pdf file shows numeric character like English template. (e.g  1,500.94).
    Example of bursting control file
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <xapi:requestset xmlns:xapi="http://xmlns.oracle.com/oxp/xapi" type="bursting">
    <xapi:request select="/">
    <xapi:delivery>
    <xapi:filesystem id="file1" output="${DEST_PATH}.pdf"/>
    </xapi:delivery>
    <xapi:document output-type="pdf" delivery="file1">
    <xapi:template type="rtf" location="xdo://XXCO.XXCO_INVOICE.de.DE/?getSource=true" filter="" >    --->  It gives same output  with en.US
    </xapi:template>
    </xapi:document>
    </xapi:request>
    </xapi:requestset>
    Has anyone got any idea what is going on when bursting take care of generating PDF file again after the report is completed ?  Could you please help on this issue ? I will be grateful if I solve this problem. Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Ugur

    Hi,
    I have solved this issue by using <?xdoxslt:xdo-format-number, '999G990D00', 'da-DK')?> in every number fields instead of using different template file with danish language. Bursting also correctly shows number I wanted to be after this changes. So don't bother using different template file in order to show different digit grouping and decimal symbol. It's very simple this way except page total and carried forward totals. I choose number-separators=',.' option in xdofo:show-carry-forward tags.

    Hi Gareth
    Thanks for your reply.
    Some how RTF Template Properties does not work for me. But I found another way to protect the pdf with password, through XML Publisher responsibility.
    XML Publisher--
    Templates > View Template: XXPER_TEMPLATE_NAME >
    Edit Confirguration
    Enable PDF Security = True
    Open document password = abcd
    When I try to open the document it ask the password. works fine for me.

    Hi Shruti,
    You can start with the BI publisher page on OTN http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/xml-publisher/index.html.
    Check out the tutorials (Oracle by Example). There's lot of good information out there. Check out the BI publisher guide here:http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/xml-publisher/xmlpdocs.html
    Search the forum or post questions about any specific questions you may have about formatting numbers and dates.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks!

  • XML Publisher Help

    Hi,
    We currently have a payslip report that has been developed using Oracle reports, but for this to run we have to change our NLS_LANG setting from UTF8 to WE8ISO8859P1.
    The problem with this is to apply patches Oracle have told us we need to have the NLS_LANG set to UTF8.
    As a result Oracle have said that:
    The only available workaround for generating PDF on a UTF8 character set instance is to install and utilize the XML Publisher product or upgrade to E-Business Suite to Release 12.
    We don't have any plans to upgrade to Release 12, so I am looking to use XML Publisher. I have a couple of questions:
    Is this an add-on?
    Where is the best place to obtain navigation guides and tutorials to teach myself this?
    I have had a look at some of the pre-defined templates already and I am not sure how to create my own rtf file so that my required fields are passed to the template.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated
    Many Thanks
    Martin
