Attachments in XML Publisher

Our attachments are on a web server.
We have an XML Publisher report for batches. Some of the batches have attachments that defined as "Web Page".
We want to print the content of the attachments (MS Word, MS Excel or PDF files), together with our report.
Is there any way to print an external file with XMLP report?
Thanks.

XML Publisher report failing with java.lang.outofmemoryerror.

Hi,
We have developed a custom Oracle report that produces an XML output file that is about 13M in size (about 18K rows from the database). When running report as concurrent request, post processing fails with java.lang.outofmemoryerror. The failure occurs when specifying output format as Excel, RTF or HTML. However, the process completes successfully when specifying output format as PDF. We have also noticed that Excel, RTF and HTML will complete successfully if the XML data file is smaller (around 3M).
Is anyone aware of a restriction on the size of the XML data file when specifying output formats Excel, RTF or HTML? We have tried setting temp directory but that has not helped.
Thanks.

Hi
I found this at metalink [Note:390968.1].. hope it helps =)
Symptoms: When attempting to run an XML Publisher concurrent program the following error occurs:
ERROR: Warning!!! Got out of memory exception, retrying with scalable option..
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
Oracle.apps.xdo.oa.cp.JCP4XDODataEngine
Program exited with status 1
Solution: To implement the solution, please execute the following steps:
1. Login select the responsibility: System Administrator.
2. Navigate to Concurrent > Program > Define.
3. Query for concurrent program that is receiving the error.
4. In the 'Options' field please enter -Xmx512M.
5. Save the change and retest the issue.
6. If the report still fails with the option set to -Xmx512M change the value to -Xmx1024M, save and try again
7. Migrate the solution as appropriate to other environments.

Creating pdf report from xml publisher report

Hi,
I'm newbie to xmlpublisher env.
We've a report in Oracle 11i developed in unix shell script and run as concurrent program generating check details which will be printed on checks.
I was asked to migrate this report into R12 in pdf format.They provided rtf template and xml data.I installed xml publisher desktop.I would like to know how I can create pdf template,if necessary changing the position of fields on the template.
Thanks,
Kiran

Hi Kiran,
Sorry to say, but no you can not use the desktop or standalone edition for integration with EBS.
In your case there are 2 alternatives for you:
1) Update the Unix shell script so it's ok for R12 (it did a good job for a long time on 11i)
2) Leave the unix script and redesign for BI Publisher (ebs edition)
Both are taking the same effort in my opinion, only since you moved to R12 it's a good learning moment to get to know the strength of BIP.
Since you task is to modify the standard Oracle solution, which i guess is an rtf template provided download the MS Word plugin and adjust the template
If any detail help needed please contact me directly

Multiple Thread of a xml publisher report - messed up fonts in the PDF out

We are running 60000 invoices at a given time. In order to get the job done faster, the xml publisher report is set up to run mulitple threads. Each thread running unique set of invoices.
I am seeing this issue, randomly.
The pdf output of the invoice is having the fonts messed up. font 10 shows up as 14 and the invoice looks very bad.
When i rerun the same set of invoices it looks absolutely normal.
Also if I retrieve the xml output of the bad pdf and view it through the xmlpub desktop, it looks perfectly fine.
Two times we saw this issue
PRODUCTION
- when i run 8 threads, i saw this issue in one of the thread and affected one invoice. (Production- 1 concurrent processing node+ 5 OPP processes and 5 threads + MEMORY is J:oracle.apps.fnd.cp.gsf.GSMServiceController:-mx3072m )
TEST INSTANCE
- when i ran with 16 threads, one of the thread running xml pub report affected all the invoices (UAT environment-1 concurrent processing node+ 7 OPP processes and 1 threads + MEMORY is J:oracle.apps.fnd.cp.gsf.GSMServiceController:-mx3072m )
Looks like it is happening when running multiple threads.
The formatting command or information is getting lost somewhere and the report is all messed up.
Please advise.
Thanks
SJ

Really appreciate your response. Can you pls give little more details.
1] Are there any standard API's which I can use to submit XML publisher report from the JSP pages
2]Is there any sample code snippet for any of the options that I can refer to..or pls let me know the API's, I will check on them
Appreciate any help

XML PUBLISHER Questions

Hi All,
Following questions restrict to use of functionalities of XMLP:
1. What could be functionality of Delivery manager of XMLP?
2. How could process Delivery manager an user request?
3. Delivery manager is full of Java API’s that means apps developer must know java. Am I correct? If it is Yes, what are java concepts need know so that developer can do his job successfully?
4. What could be sub-template concept in XMLP? Please give one practical scenario.
5. One scenario: I want generate group of invoices in PDF format and each invoice must generate in fresh page.
XML Input to Template: Report output (output format in XML)
Input parameters: Customer or Print date (i.e. all invoices of specified customer should populate)
I could not able to generate each invoice in fresh page. Is it possible through XMLP?
6. XSL: is language and used for transformation i.e. one form document to another form document (xml =>XHTML) am I correct?
7. When do we go for XSL implementation in XMLP? Please provide example.
8. Where do we write XSL code in template? Assume template I am using RTF form field method.
Any help would appreciate.
Thanks,
[email protected]
Date: 13-Aug-07.
Hi All,
What could be the difference between delivery manager and Document Processor engine?
Could we use both for deliver XMLP documents to different Delivery channels?

Hi All,
I am also facing new problem while i am going to register template in following environment:
Oracle applications version: 11.5.10.2
XML publisher Version: 5.0.0
My file size: 65 KB with out image
363 KB with company logo
The RTF used English language characters and want to register for English – USA
My RTF template works fine in preview mode in Word. I go to upload it via XML Publisher Adminstator and I get a screen that just says "You have encountered an unexpected error. Please contact the System Administrator for assistance."
What? The only option is Log out. Is there a way to validate my template to know what could possibly be wrong with it?
Please let me know if any other information require about RTF template.
Any help would appreciate.
Thanks,

P.S: I do not know how to attach file in forum. please give me information how to attach file form so that i can attach RTF file.

'Move order pick slip report' Report not picking XML publisher Template.

Hi,
SUB: i have to create one XML report on .RDF(move order pick slip report).
Submitting procedure move order pick slip report : i have created one Discrete Job and released that Job, then Component pick release for that particular job. then move order number will generates. then automatically fires the 'Move Order Pick Slip' Report.
NOTE: what i meant to say is i am not submitting the report from SRS window. it will fires automatically when Component pick release.
For this i have taken .xml and generated .rtf according to my layout and i have registered with XML publisher also.it is correct . But while running the report i am geting output as XML codes not in template(wht i have .rtf) format.
if i have to see the output in template from. (i have taken in conc program output as XML also) still same problem.
please help me if anybody having solutions.
Thanks
Valli

Hi Valli,
1:The first thing i would suggest that please check the BI Publisher version you are using (on apps/and on template builder also).
2: In any case if your report is not picking up the template and generating the xml output , i suggest you to attach one program "XML Report Publisher" in your SRS.
Oncwe you run your report and its generate the xml output. you have to take the request id & from view ---> submit request--->XML Report Publisher. run this request again.
it will ask for the request id , select the appropriate request id and it will generate the pdf output as per your requirement.
But this is temporary solution , i strongly recommend you to check the updated version of BI Publisher and instaal it on your oracle apps instance. also use the updated version of bi publisher for Layout(Template Builder).
Regards
SRatnesh

E-Business Suite XML Publisher 5.6.3 FAX Delivery Channel

Hi All,
If anyone of you who has implemented FAX delivery channel for XML Publisher 5.6.3 version, share your experience. Which software you used for delivery faxes from EBusiness Suite?
XML Publisher guide mentions eFax and FAX4CUPS. Tim D's blog has an entry about Advanced Collections functionality with RightFax. Any pros and cons about these softwares?
Regards,
Parth

Parth
Depends on what you need. If you need to manage thousands of faxes a day and have some multi fax board solution then something like RightFAX will work - its goiing to cost you thou. If your needs are more meager and you dont mind getting stuck into some custom code, then XMLP coupled with a CUPS server can do the job. If you want some middle ground and out of the box integration check out STR Software's solution. Again, its not free but they are a great bunch of folks with a great product. They will stand up faxing in a matter of days with some really neat integration with the conc manager pages - www.strsoftware.com
Thats my 2 cents, Im sure there are plenty of other 'real' customers out there that have opinions.
Cheers
Tim
