XML PUBLISHER : excel file generated is of large size

Hi ,
scenario: Using XML publisher I am able to get the output in the Excel format but the file size is 28.2 MB
Issue : The file size is too big so unable to send email through XML bursting program.
Observation:
For the generated excel sheet when save as option is chosen then its save as type is Web Page (*.htm,*.html ) with the file name appearing in double quotes "sample.xls" , when the save as type was changed to excel and saved , the file size was found to be 5.7 MB .
Please advise on the following:-
xml publisher's generated output file size is 6 times bigger than the actual excel file size , is there a way to rectify this huge size output for EXCEL file.
Regards,
SR

XML Publisher Template Re-Generator

What does the XML Publisher Template Re-Generator actually do? I'm having an issue where the AP Check layout is fine when I test locally on my pc, but when i run the check in the Oracle app, the check prints on the next page.

Hi,
It's for use when you upgrade your version of XMLP. When you load an rtf template via XMLP Admin it stores your original file and also converts it to XSL-FO. When you upgrade XMLP then the functionality changes and the XSL-FO it generates changes.
The re-generate process rebuilds the XSL-FO for all the templates loaded into the database.
I think I read somewhere that in 5.6.3 this is run as part of the patching process.

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.
Let me pull the metalink note for this.

XML publisher report not generating output for huge XML files

Changed Depreciation Projections Report output type to XML.
Defined a Data Definition and a new Data Template (RTF) for this report.
Ran the Depreciation Projection Report to generate the XML output.
Ran the XML Report Publisher report to generate teh PDF/Excel output of the above report.
Output generated for smaller XML files. When XML size is big, the program is running for hours without generating the output.
Teh RTF template is basically a matrix report in which the number of columns in the report is based on the number of periods the report is run for.
The same is not working in the Desktop version also. The system is hanging when i try to view the preview pdf.
The XML file size is approximately 33 MB.
Please let me know if there is any way we can increase the memory size to see the output.
Thanks,
Ram.

My java program can't read the EXCEL file generated by BI Publisher

If you're using JDK 5 or later, you could use the Scanner class for input information. See below:
try {
               Scanner reader = new Scanner(new File("C:\\boot.ini"));
               StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
               while (reader.hasNextLine()) {
                    sb.append(reader.nextLine());
                    sb.append(System.getProperty("line.separator"));
               System.out.println(sb.toString());
          } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
          }

Xml publisher excel output

Hi.
I have the rtf-template for xml-publisher report with excel output.
There is the table there. I need format the table according appointed requirements (in output excel file). For example, width of the columns of the table must be fixed width. How I can define width of the columns with xsl language in rtf-template?
[email protected]
Best regards

UP
There is positive progress there.
For example, I can change height of the heading row of the table by this way:
<xsl:attribute name = "height" xdofo:ctx="block-container">40mm</xsl:attribute>.
These xsl tags I put it in the text field of the rtf template between <?split-column-header:GROUP?> and <?VALUE?> tags (There are dinamic columns in the table).
But <xsl:attribute name = "width" xdofo:ctx="block-container">40mm</xsl:attribute> tags work incorrect, not as I need (Some cells is spanned in the height and division of the text is by the word).
May be I need some others tags? Or I need different object or property?
I want to note that xml-publisher's tags <?split-column-width:@width?> and <?split-column-width:width?> are not working in excel output (or I use it incorrect).
I am really need your help. How I can define exact width of dinamic columns?
Thanks.

XML Publisher Report not generating the PDF output.

Hi,
I am trying to develop a XML Publisher Report in R12 Vision Instance.
I have developed the rdf report and concurrent program with XML as output format. Ran the concurrent program and I got the XML output. Based on XML output I have created the rtf template. Using both the template and xml output I have created in Data Definition and Template in XML Publisher Administrator Responsibility. Now I am comming to the concurrent program and running the program, here instead of generating the PDF output it is generating again the XML output and concurrent program completing with warning status.
When I am trying to do the same in 11i Vision Instance, Concurrent Program completing with normal status and when trying to view the output it is saying "Unable to Publish output for the Processed Request".
Kindly please help me out in this issue.
Thanks,
Manasa.

Hi Mahesh,
Here the concurrent programs are not erroring out. It is completing with Warning status and when we click on View Output the output is coming in XML format instead of PDF, this is in R12 Vision Instance.
In 11i Vision Instance, concurrent program is completing with Normal Status but when we click on View Output it is saying "Unable to Publish output for specified request".
Thanks,
Manasa.

XML to Excel file using dom4j

hi!
i'm new with dom4j and i don't have any idea on how to do the following task:
i have an xml document which i have to save as an excel file using dom4j. my problem is i also have to insert records in the middle of the file. is it possible?
sample layout:
Worksheet Header (also have to plot a value)
Column Header (also have to plot a value)
-- need to insert records here --
Sub-total row
Total row
i would appreciate any help from you guys...
thanks in advance...

Hi there!
First I haven't seen any application that uses dom4j to write excel's file, but I can recommend you to use Apache's POI to write and read from any excel's file, actually I'm working rigth now with it, and works fine with Office 2003.
http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/hssf/
For the XML you can use what ever you feel confortable with, dom4j, jdom, etc. I really like jdom thougth

EPMA Excel File Generator

I'm using 11.1.1.2 and attempting to use the Excel EPMA file generator. I'm getting all of my dimensions, however, I can not get any aliases to load. I'm loading for Planning and Essbase (BSO). All I want to do is load a Default alias but I'm getting 'Invalid Property Data Type for Property 'Alias'.'
My 'Alias' tab has just one entry:
#root|English
First, does the file generator work for aliases, and if so, what am I doing wrong?
Also, has anyone seen a sample Excel workbook for the file generator. I think that would be super helpful.
Thanks,
Michael

I haven't used the Excel ADS file format much (I use text ADS files), but one thing I've noticed is that the File Generator produces files that cannot be re-imported without manipulation. I think of the File Generator as a tool that provides "hints" regarding what your file should look like. One would hope that you could export a file using the File Generator and turn right back around and import it without errors. That isn't the case as of version 11.1.1.2.
In a text file, in the Hierarchies section, you would not have "Alias" as your heading. Instead, it would be something like "Alias=Default". I would try changing this.
In addition, you might want to add the following line to the Alias tab:
#root|Default
Hopefully this will get you a little further.
Take Care,
