Date Parameter in XML Publisher Enterprise

Hello,
Can someone tell me how to set up a date parameter in XML Publisher Enterprise? I cannot seem to get the right format for a date parameter, so my report will run. This report requires a date to be entered before the report can run. I am trying to use the format 'YYYY-MM-DD'.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...
Thank you,
Susan

Hi Susan,
I also had some problems but found out the spelling is the key, so letters for day and years has to be small letter, letter for month has to be capital - a sample date format looks like
dd-MM-yyyy ( check the possible formats of fields in RTF-Templates! )
But anyway using date parameters seems a little instable in 5.6.2 - I have to save the parameter all the time even if I didn't change anything otherwise there was runtime errors

XML Publisher Enterprise Installation

I installed Xml Publisher Enterprise version 5.6.2 to our test PC with its own oracle home as c:\ora_xmlp. The installation ran successfully. But when I ran xmlpserverstart.bat, it stopped at the line: "Oracle containers for J2EE log (10.1.3.0) initialized..." and didn't go on. Should I use the same path as oracle database or application server?
Please help, Thanks.
- Jessie

Hi Jessie.
That's what it's supposed to do. That message means the OC4J engine started properly. Now you can access the application by going to:
http://localhost:15101/xmlpserver
unless you changed anything in the install (which I'm assuming from the formulation of your note is nothing).
Cheers,
Dave

Xml publisher enterprise!!! create rtf file dynamically with load xml data

i am new to xml publisher enterprise , i want a solution for this question ...
i want create rtf file dynamically with loading xml data....means i wrote a program in jsp where the the output in xml file simultaneously create rtf file..but i enable load the xml data in rtf file but when i goto rtf file from where data in that load xml then it genrate the columns..but i want in dynamiclly to load the data will you please guide me ......

Hi Atiq
Im not quite clear on the requirement here:
1. Do you just want to be able to extract the data and apply a template to the XML data from your jdp and render output?
If so then you can use the XMLP APIs ... the are in the user guide. Particularly:
RTFProcessor - converts RTF template to XSLFO stylesheet
FOProcessor - takes, XML data, XSLFO stylesheet and output format and generates the required output.
2. Do you want a template that will accept any data and just format it into rows and columns ? This can be written but your XML structure is going to have to be static, the data of course can be dynamic.

Cannot open the pdf when using the xml publisher to generate rtf report

Hello Everyone,
I followed the below link to generate a pdf using xml publisher in OAF.
http://apps2fusion.com/at/ps/260-integrating-xml-publisher-and-oa-framework
When i try to save the pdf and open it, i get the below error:
Adobe Reader could not open the pdf because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged(for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).
Below is the code in CO.
public void processFormRequest(OAPageContext pageContext, OAWebBean webBean)
super.processFormRequest(pageContext, webBean);
OAApplicationModule am= (OAApplicationModule)pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean);
String event = pageContext.getParameter("event");
if("GenerateReport".equals(event))
// Get the HttpServletResponse object from the PageContext. The report output is written to HttpServletResponse.
DataObject sessionDictionary = (DataObject)pageContext.getNamedDataObject("_SessionParameters");
HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse)sessionDictionary.selectValue(null,"HttpServletResponse");
try {

response.setHeader("Content-Disposition",contentDisposition);
response.setContentType("application/pdf");
// Get the Data XML File as the XMLNode

byte[] b = pdfFile.toByteArray();
response.setContentLength(b.length);

os.close();
pdfFile.flush();
pdfFile.close();
catch(Exception e)
response.setContentType("application/pdf");
throw new OAException(e.getMessage(), OAException.ERROR);
pageContext.setDocumentRendered(false);
Any suggestions on this would be great!
Thanks

Below is the code. Can you change so that that the output can be seen in HTML? I checked the language, country etc and they are fine.
super.processFormRequest(pageContext, webBean);
OAApplicationModule am= (OAApplicationModule)pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean);
String event = pageContext.getParameter("event");
if("GenerateReport".equals(event))
// Get the HttpServletResponse object from the PageContext. The report output is written to HttpServletResponse.

EBS: Email XML publisher output, from After Report Trigger in Data Template

Here is what I'm trying to do:
-- In EBS (11.5.10 CU2), I'm using XML publisher (5.6.2) data template and layout template to generate Output files (PDF, EXCEL etc)
--In the Data Template's AfterReport Trigger, I'm using the Concurrent Request Id to locate the Output file name and trying to Email that output file.
Problem:
-- When the AfterReport trigger code is executed, the code is NOT seeing the output file and hence the file is NOT emailed.
Observations/Questions:
-- From what I observe, the Output Post Processor ( that generates the Excel / PDF files) is running AFTER the code in AfterReport trigger... and hence the AfterReport trigger is Not quite seeing / able to access the output file.
So, the sequence of execution seems to be:
-- Before Report Trigger
-- Data Query (SQL statement)
-- After Report Trigger
-- Output Post Processor
Because the AfterReport Trigger is running before the Output Post Processor, it is Not able to see the output file. Is that a True statement?
If Yes, how else can the DataTemplate access the Output file?
If No, what could cause the AfterReport trigger to not see the output file?

Because the AfterReport Trigger is running before the Output Post Processor, it is Not able to see the output file. Is that a True statement?
I believe so, as the OPP works on the output of the Report after the Report has completed execution.
You could use the same approach as we do for bursting the report to different users. Write a Java Concurrent program based on "oracle.apps.xdo.oa.cp. XMLPReportBurst" with delivery channel Email to send the email output. You would need to add code to launch the Concurrent child request in your AfterReport Trigger:
function AfterReport return boolean is
jreq_id number;
begin
srw.message (100, 'DEBUG: AfterReport_Trigger +');
jreq_id:= FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST ('XDO','XDOBURST','','',FALSE,:P_CONC_REQUEST_ID,'Y',chr(0),
If (jreq_id=0)
then
srw.message (100,'Request id is zero');
end if;

XML Publisher to generate Excel reports

Can we use RTF template to generate Excel reports? Is all the process the same or do I need to do some additional set ups? Also, can I create a custom report , set the output format to xml and run XML Publisher on the top of it to generate output of my choice? HAs anybody tried this? or is it possible only in standard reports?
Pl help. This is v urgent , i need to design my process flow accordingly
Thanks much

Hi
Yes you can generate Excel from an RTF template - there are some limitations. The Excel in this case is not binary Excel - its XHTML and the mime type is set so that Excel opens it.
So, you can not embed formulae, macros, etc in the RTF template and get the Excel output to execute them.
You second question is what Publisher is all about, give it XML data and a layout of your choice and then pick the output format you want.

Default reply-to email address using XML Publisher Enterprise

I'm currently just testing out XML Publisher. I've noticed that when I use the web interface to email a report (with either the send button or scheduling the report to run at a specific time), the SENDER is always set to "[email protected]". How do I go about changing this default email address.
I've seen samples on how to do this with a control file when trying to create reports using java API, but nothing on how to setup a default email address when users are using the out of the box configuration (the sample reports in this case).

After more searching, I found this for anyone who is interested:

XML Publisher Enterprise 5.6.2 - World Sales report (DEMO)

Hello All;
Does anybody have problem displaying "World Sales" report as HTML output under Sales Manager folder?
The demo is provided when downloading and installing XMLP server.
"World Sales" report uses an XML feed from a URL which I configure per the instruction in the document. I could get the report output in PDF with images but NOT in HTML or RTF as output.
Any solution or idea how to resolve it?
Thank you.

How to create editable PDF template for XML Publisher reports

Hi,
I have got a requirement to have some editable fields in one report whose output is in PDF format.
I tried looking and saw this can be done using the XML Publisher report and using PDF template.
But I got only Adobe Acrobat Reader and it does not have the facility to create Form fields.. Can you let me know what software I need in order to create the editable PDF Template.
In the user guide, it didnot mention anything regarding this.
Can I create editable PDF report using RTF template or do i have to got for PDF template only?
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks

Hi,
To edit PDF template , u need Acrobat writer, which is not free .
I am still wondering what is this ?
"" Can I create editable PDF report using RTF template ?? "".
What is editable PDF report. ?
i think what you tried to mention is ,
can the PDF output from xml publisher is editable ?
If that is the question , so here is some points,
If you have Acrobat Writer or prof.edition, you can edit all the PDF documents irrespective of being from where it is generated.
To make you understand more of XMLP.
You create RTF template in word, so that , after merging with xml you can have multiple output formats like PDF, XLS, EFT,.....
