Font problems in resulting XML Publisher document (from PeopleSoft)

Hi all,
we're creating documents using XML Publisher under PeopleSoft, designing the template in Word 2007.
We see strange things hapening to the resulting documents: even though the majority of the template is created in a Times New Roman 11pt font, we find that in the resulting document, empty paragraphs and empty table cells are formatted as Arial 12 pt. So where we put an empty line between paragraphs in the text in the template, and set all the text to Times New Roman, the empty lines are Arial. Same thing with the tables. There's a table with a for-each loop in the rows. The XML with the data always contains 10 entries, but possibly with empty values, so that the table in the resulting document always has 10 rows (plus a header row). However, the empty rows are Arial 12, and the filled-in rows are TNR 11. This results in a different heigth for the table depending on how many rows are filled in, causing the positioning of the rest of the document to be off.
The template contains NO Arial 12 at all...
I hope my problem is clear. Any ideas or pointers where to look are really appreciated...

Hello Deepz,
Thank you for your answer. I am not sure I understand your answer: I stated, this is occurring in XML Publisher from PeopleSoft, so not in BI Publisher. Furthermore, there is one section in the document where I do need Arial, but at pt 11, not 12.
I hope you or other forum members can help me further.
Regards,
Spiffo

Can't view XML Publisher document from JDeveloper environment

Something has happened to my JDeveloper environment so that I can no longer view XML/BI Publisher output in the JDeveloper runtime web pages. I have developed pages using both DocumentHelper.getOutputURL and TemplateHelper.processTemplate functions. At rutime I am getting an error logged like:
java.io.FileNotFoundException: \usr\tmp\xdoxxxxxxxxxxx.fo (The system cannot find the path specified)
However, when I actually deploy and run the pages in EBS they seem to work fine.
I'm guessing it's some sort of configuration problem with my OC4J server but can't seem to find the details anywhere.
Thanks for any help you can give me.
--Dave

I got this issue resolved. I was missing xdo_doc_display.jsp in my local /OA_HTML directory. Also, I had to create a directory, C:\usr\tmp (I still don't know where that is being set).
Anyway, thanks to all who tried to help.

Integrating XML Publisher into an OAF page

Hello,
I'm pretty to new to both OAF and XML Publisher...hoping someone can help me out. I created an OAF page that uses oracle.apps.xdo.oa.common.DocumentHelper to display a PDF. I created my Data Definition and Template, and tested that using concurrent manger.
When I display my OAF page and click a button to view the PDF, the page does not show the PDF. However, when I click on the export button it opens a new window and I can view the PDF no problem.
So I know the XML Publisher document is working, but why doesn't it display in the page?
We are on 11.10.2 applications and 5.6.3 XML Publisher.
Thanks,
Johnnie

XML Publisher 5.6.3 and Emailing

There has been much discussion on the ability to email requests from EBS and XMLP. I have seen all kinds of work arounds which requires customization.
I have a few questions. I have read that in 5.6.3, there is talk of integrated bursting, and some suggest that you can use bursting to deliver reports via EMAIL, with no customization. Is there trurth to this?
I have also read, that in R12 there is an integrated delivery manager. Is this so?
So, is there any hope for the short term, that Oracle will come out with a integrated solution for 11i that will allow us to deliver reports via Email or other delivery methods without customization or 3rd party software?
Also, is there a link that point to a document that discusses 5.6.3 enhancements?
Thank you
Ira D. Kleiner, MS, MBA

TIM,
WE NEED TO KNOW HOW TO SETUP A XML PUBLISHER DOCUMENT SO WE CAN EMAIL FROM THE EBS AFTER IT IS GENERATED.
WE ARE CURRENTLY ON 5.6.2, AND MAY CONSIDER 5.6.3.
WE HAVE BUSINESS REQUIREMENTS THAT WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO EMAIL THE DOCUMENT AFTER IT IS RUN FROM A REQUEST.
I HAVE SEEN MUCH DOCUMENTATION ON THIS, REVIEWED THE USER MANUAL, BUT HAVE NOT FOUND A CONSCISE DOCUMENT THAT DESCRIBES HOW IT IS DONE FROM START TO FINISH. (INCLUDING YOUR BLOG)
I UNDERSTAND WITH 5.6.2 THERE IS SOME CUSTOMIZATION THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE TO PASS THE OUTPUT FROM THE REQUEST TO THE DELIVERY MANAGER USING JAVA AND API'S.
ARE THE SAME REQUIREMENTS FOR 5.6.3, OR IS THERE A INTEGRATED SOLUTION FOR EMAILING DOCUMENTS OUT OF THE E BUSINESS SUITE AFTER RUNNING AN XMLP REPORT?
WE HAVE A FEW WEEKS BEFORE WE ARE SLATED TO GO LIVE WITH THE 11.5.10 UPGRADE WE ARE PLANNING, SO TIMING IS CRITICAL THAT WE FIND A SOLUTION.
THANKS

Apps & Responsibilities for XML publisher - basic info

Hi,
I'm new to xml publisher. We are running on 11.5.10.2.
I need to find out what responsibility I need to be to work with XML Publisher? Currently I only see, XML Publisher Administrator but there is no way to create new data definitions that I can see. I need to be able to enter an sql statement.
Also, is there somewhere with simple instruction on how to create and run a new xml publisher document?
Thanks for any help.
Andy

Hi Andy
The XMLP Admin is all you need. Within Apps you create a regular conc program that generates XML, this is then registered with the template manager. You will then load layout templates against the CP. At runtime your users will be able to pick templates to apply to the data thru the conc manager.
For more info:
1. check the user guide, its actually useful
2. Conc processing white paper and viewlet - http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/xml-publisher/xmlpapps.html
3. Building templates 101 - http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/xml-publisher/xmlpclient.html
Have a try and let us know if/when you get stuck

XML Publisher PDF DOCUMENT MERGER

Hi,
The Report POXPRPOP (Print Purchase order Report) has been customized with XML publisher for PDF output. The RTF has been designed and it works well. Now I have to combine the two or more PO attachment with above XML report output and produces single PDF as output at concurrent request. The PO attachment is BLOB (PDF file, Word doc). For this I found that in the XML Publisher User Guide that we make this as post processing event through PDFDocumentMerger API.
Could any one validate this and also suggest if any other best approach to do this?
if you know more about this PDF document MErger could you know me how to stimulate this process?
Any help in this regard would appreciate.
Thanks,
Sai Krishna.

Hi,
We have a similar requirement, did u get any solution. It would be great if you could share your solution.
Thanks,

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

XML Publisher 5.6.2 Document Processor Engine

Would I be correct in assuming that sending the xapi: tags through the regular concurrent request engine would be a fultile exercise in order to burst an invoice batch into multiple PDFs?
Could somebody please confirm that I must use a JAVA concurrent program wrapper around the request in order to use the document processor engine to burst and save on the file system?
Thanks in advance,
G.

XML Publisher 5.6.2 API may be used in JDeveloper 11g by importing the Oracle JDBC library definition from JDeveloper 10.1.3. Instead of the Oracle JDBC library in JDeveloper 11g create a Oracle JDBC library from the JDeveloper 10.1.3 Oracle JDBC library JAR files.

Is it possible to use xml publisher with xml document as data source ?

I have an application that have to publish document from xml document that are not part a oracle 10g database but will be stored into Oracle Berkeley XML database insteed. Is it possible to use server and/or desktop to publish these documents ?
I test the desktop edition using the source xml document but it render no data when the template is executed (vizualization)
I installed the server edition and i'm not able to declare xml document as a data source
So i have a doubt that xml publisher is able to publish something from a xml datasource
Thanks

Yes, it is possible.
The problem should come from your template. Refer to "edit a RTF template" in the docs.
A fact is that XML Publisher server edition is not very adapted to an XML file datasource. In order to use it, you should use an HTTP datasource, with the URL of your XML document (that you should place on a web server...). The problem is that this URL is fixed and point always on the same reference...so XML Publisher server edition is not very good for that use.
I choose to use the XML Publisher Java API which is better for this task.

Hi,
I had the same problem listed at the beginning of this thread:
Error invoking 'set_xslt_locale':'java.lang.IllegalAccessError: tried to access class oracle.apps.fnd.i18n.common.text.DigitList from class oracle.apps.fnd.i18n.common.text.ExcelNumberFormat'
I raised an SR and eventually came up with the cause and a solution.
Cause:
Essentially the problem is caused by incompatible versions of classes in the oracle.apps.fnd.i18n.* package held in the file jdevbin\jdev\appslibrt\aolj.jar versus the classes used by the BI Publisher libraries. The 'set_xslt_locale' method was introduced in BI publisher version 5.6.3 so if you have upgraded to this version on the server it is likely that you will get this error in JDeveloper.
Solution:
1) You will first need to copy the following file to your local JDev install and add it as a library via Project Settings --> Libraries :
$FND_TOP/java/3rdparty/stdalone/xdoparser.zip
2) Next fetch the latest version of the oracle.apps.fnd.i18n.* classes from $OA_JAVA. Create a zip file of these files (i.e. i18n.jar), copy to your local JDev install and add it as a library as you did with the xdoparser.zip.
3) Copying these files alone will not solve the problem because JDeveloper will use the oracle.apps.fnd.i18n.* classes located in the jdevbin\jdev\appslibrt\aolj.jar file before using the ones located in the file added in step 2 (i18n.jar). To get round this, ensure that the the library you have added for the i1n8.jar file is higher in the list (under Project Settings  Libraries) than the libraries “FND Libraries” & “OA Developer Libraries” (if selected). This will ensure that the files in i18n.jar are used prior to those in jdevbin\jdev\appslibrt\aolj.jar. If this does not work (some users have found this approach not to work), make a backup of the file jdevbin\jdev\appslibrt\aolj.jar and then manully remove all files in the oracle.apps.fnd.i18n package from the file.
4) In addition to the above copy the file $OA_HTML/xdo_doc_display.jsp to your local OA_HTML directory (usually jdevhome\jdev\myhtml). You should also set the temporary directory of the XML Publisher (under Admin) to a directory that exists on your PC (eg. /var/tmp on your PC will be c:\var\tmp).

XML Publisher Report Output from OAF Page

Hi,
I created a button in a OAF page, and called the XML publisher Report program on click of this button. The concurrent request was ran when check from View Requests. When I click on viewout, the pdf document was open with the option, open, save, cancel. But this is not coming up in the OAF page. when debugged the code, the url is null.
Please see the below code.
OADBTransactionImpl oadbtransactionimpl = (OADBTransactionImpl)paramOAPageContext.getRootApplicationModule().getOADBTransaction();
String s1 = oadbtransactionimpl.getAppsContext().getEnvStore().getEnv("TWO_TASK");
System.out.println("s1 = " + s1);
String s2 = oadbtransactionimpl.getAppsContext().getEnvStore().getEnv("GWYUID");
System.out.println("s2 = " + s2);
String s3 = "BEGIN :1 := fnd_webfile.get_url(fnd_webfile.request_out, :2, :3, :4, 2); end;";
CallableStatement callablestatement = paramOAPageContext.getApplicationModule(paramOAWebBean).getOADBTransaction().createCallableStatement(s3, 1);
System.out.println("s3 = " + s3);
if(requestId != 0)
try
Number number = new Number(requestId);
callablestatement.registerOutParameter(1, 12);
callablestatement.setInt(2, number.intValue());
callablestatement.setString(3, s2);
callablestatement.setString(4, s1);
callablestatement.execute();
String s4 = callablestatement.getString(1);
System.out.println("Before S4 if statement");
if(s4 == null || s4.equals(""))
// throw new RuntimeException();
System.out.println("URL is null");
System.out.println(" print ouput url - " + s4 );
// throw OAException.wrapperException(exception);
oadbtransactionimpl.putValue("OutputURL", s4);
System.out.println(" print ouput url - " + s4 );
}

Look at the links AJ gave.
Basically what you will do is create a Data Definition and assign a Data Template to it. Create a (document) Template and assign it to your data definition. You will use the XML Publisher Java API classes to pass parameters to your data template and extract the XML data. Then you will use this in conjunction with your document template and the OAF integration region to present the final output to the user.
All of these things are in the XML Publisher documentation and Javadocs.

Xml Publisher Report Without RDF

Hi experts,
I need to customize the seeded XML publisher report.Till now i developed XML publisher reports by developing rdf only. But here i didn't see any rdf for it..
without rdf how we can create the xml publisher report. I need to insert a field in this report where i need to insert this field.
where i found the SQL query for this report.Please help me
Thanks
Ashok

Thank u,
Here I need to customize the Sales Order XSL Template which is a seeded template in Order Management.
and it will execute when user select the actions button-> print and prview .so there is no concurrent program for this.they did the setups for this.
I didn't find any datetemplate for this in data defination window.here I need to change this one as
1.     Update the Report Header to read “Dispatch Note” instead of “ORDERING DOCUMENT”.
2.     Inclusion of logo for each police authority (Open Issue).
3.     Modification to include *“United Kingdom” instead of U.S.* in the free text portion of the PRODUCT section. “United Kingdom” value will be derived from the country specified for the selected organization and not hardcoded.
4.     Footer to include shipment date instead of Sales Order Creation date and the document should be available to print only after Ship Confirm.
5.     Updating the Layout template in the Transaction Type setup, so that it points to the modified layout template.
6.     The modified Dispatch Note document will be included in the Ship Confirm document set and this document set will be included in the respective Ship Confirm rules. This Ship Confirm Rule will be attached in the Shipping parameters tabs for both the organisations. This step would enable the Dispatch Note to be printed automatically after successful completion Ship Confirm process.
I have *.XSD file and .XSL file * .. I don't find any data template in datadefination window to see the SQL query.
I thought now i have to change the *.XSD AND .XSL FILES* is it right? Is there any other solution for this ..
Thanks
Ashok
