XML Publisher Not taking Template during Runtime

Hi All,
I am working on standard Pack Slip report using XML publisher.
I have modified existing template according user requirement.
When I run the Concurrent program (Packing Slip Report) from SRS screen, The program is not taking Template uploaded using XML publisher Admnistrator. It just Currently printing output in regular RDF output format. I have even looked at Data Definition for the template, everything seems to be perfect (CODE: matches with Concurrent Program Short Name). Please let me know what could be possible problem. This is very very urgent..Please help me out in resolving this issue.
Thanks!!!

Kal,
In this scenario, may be you need to run the process “XML Report Publisher” to combine the xml and layout.
Add this existing program 'XML Report Publisher' to your request group and run it once. After completion of this process then re-run and test your report.
Thanks,
Prasad Raju

BI Publisher vs PeopleSoft XML Publisher & Error with Templates

Hello All,
I am completely new to this so please bear with me.
1.) What is the difference between Oracle BI Publisher and PeopleSoft XML Publisher?
2.) I am working with PeopleSoft XML publisher and I had to make a change ontop of a bundle.
I needed to change the rtf template so I uploaded it, however, when our report defn, template defn, and file defn got migrated to out tst environment something happened and I am getting the following error: Template file not found in DB. Because of this error I can no longer access the report definition via the application. It is also telling me that there is a problem with the LoadTempDefn process in the peoplecode. This is pointing to the scroll area where the templates are uploaded.
I need some help resolving this i.e details on what tables PeopleSoft uses in the DB to store templates? And how I can get rid of this error.
Any help would be much appreciated.

XML Publisher not updating translated XLFs

Hi,
We are using XML Publisher Administrator responsibility to upload French translated XLFs for our RTF files. We are using EBS version 12.1.3.
We are able to successfully upload XLFs in WINDOWS-1252 encoding format. However,when we download those, the resulting files are encoded in UTF-8,with some characters distorted out.However, the final report output shows the correct European character set.
Can anyone suggest why is this happening ?

<TEL_TXT><?b?>Telephone:<?/b?> Call this number to pay by credit card using a land line or mobile phone.</TEL_TXT>
<TEL_HOW>Tel: 1300 362 589</TEL_HOW>
<INT_TXT><?b?>Internet:<?/b?> Visit this website to make a secure credit card payment over the internet.</INT_TXT>
We use BPEL to extract information from an external source, once we get this, we use BI publisher to then compile everything together including output from a receivables report, to produce a pdf report. Microsoft Word just ignores the <?b?>, thinks it's a sub tag. p.s i put the ? in there so that html browser does not bold the text. in the real sample the ? are not in there.

And metalink note 1100253.1 states that this issue (java.lang.StackOverflowError) might be caused by a too large set of data to be sorted in the layout file. Recommendation is to removed the sort from the layout file and instead sort the data already in the data definition.

Publisher not specified error during autorun from cd

Hello,
I am trying get rid of the publisher not specified when launching ADOBE PDF Doc from a CD. Can you please tell me how to get this option removed?
The autorun.inf is as follows
[AutoRun]
Open=c:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Acrord32.exe
shellexecute="Blah.pdf"
icon=SC_Reader.ico
label=blah blah..

I guess I had to try something here.
Apparently when you use the autorun.inf you have to call the actual Adobe Acrobat reader program instead of the PDF File itself. Now I am no longer getting the "Publisher Not Specified" error message but when I click on the Adobe program to run I am now getting "adobe reader core dll failed to load".
How can I call the Adobe Acrobat program from the source location on the hard drive. If you load the pdf file on the same CD you get the "publisher not specified" error. Now I am trying to figure out how to call any of the installed versions of Adobe Reader. I am currently running Adobe Reader X but some customers might have Version 8 or 9. Does anyone know how to call any version of Adobe Reader from the autorun.inf file?
I called Adobe Support but they didn't answer my question. So maybe they know how to fix a pretty standard error based on the Google Searches.
Thanks,
Calvin Grier, Jr.

Shell program and XML Publisher E-Text Template

Hi All,
We have a customer submitting an rdf report through Shell script using the command line submission ar60run. This is being done in 11i.
This rdf handles the File transmission with certain codes for the third party(same as E-Text templates in R12).
Now, With BI Publisher can I use the Standalone CP of E-Text templates instead of Shell host program to submit the request.
or Should I initiate the BI Publisher E-Text concurrent program through Shell Host Language.
The Host program does not deal with any OS specific code.(Attached the Host program code for ref..,)
Will there be any problem if I do not use the Host program to submit the BI Publisher E-Text Program.

Maximum Number of record Per page using XML Publisher with RTF template

Hi
I am creating customer statement and want to show only 20 records per page. How we can set maximum number of repord per page in rtf template.
Thanks
Ravi

Ravi,
I hope you are already done with this. In the invoice there is a nice example you can use on the xml blogs.
You limit the number of lines per page when you use the xsl commands like this in your template:
<xsl:variable name="lpp" select="number(13)"/>
<?for-each@section:LIST_G_INVOICE?>
<xsl:variable xdofo:ctx="incontext" name="invLines" select=".//G_LINES[LINE_TYPE='LINE']"/>
<?for-each:$invLines?> <?if:(position()-1) mod $lpp=0?> <xsl:variable name="start" xdofo:ctx="incontext" select="position()"/>
and then you have the table where you have the data
<?for-each:$invLines?><?if:position()>=$start and position()<$start+$lpp?>
and all your lines
and then
<?end if?><?end for-each?>

XML file not taking transitions in FCP

I imported film into the only way I know how, through iMovie. I then exported it out as an XML file then into FCP. Started editing only to see none of the transitions I'd place between clips is staying. It just has a 'red X' come up when I am trying to apply the transition.
Don't recall having this issue. Is it the way I imported the film? Help!
**Also, is there another way to capture the film instead of through iMovie?

'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

XML publisher report with a template file missing

I get the following error
Active template file not found in the template definition <TEMPLATE_NAME> for date <EFFDT>. (235,2515)
PSXP_RPTDEFNMANAGER.TemplateDefn.OnExecute Name:GetActiveTemplateFile PCPC:15872 Statement:346
but in
Reporting Tools > XML Publisher > Report Definition > Template tab
I did have the setting Effective date, what cause the problem?

Have a look at following post and run the sql in this post to see if your template definition is missing.
http://peoplesoft.wikidot.com/xml-publisher-template-file-missing
You could also run Application Engine PSXPCLEAN to clean orphan rows.
Are you running the report online or through PeopleCode?
In last case make sure the effdt is set correct in PeopleCode.
Also have a look if your server time settings are correct.

Hi Venkat
What version of XMLP are you using ?
Check the user guide, there is an entry in there describing how to specifiy the check box glyph to be used for checks and unchecked.
Its will either be set using the UI or thru a config file depending on your version.

Some RTF commands not working in Oracle XML Publisher Desktop 5.6.3

Hello,
I am using Oracle XML Publisher Desktop 5.6.3 (Patch 5887917) and seems like some of the RTF command are not working. I am following Tim Dexter's blog (http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/2007/10/here_are_my_terms_conditions.html ) and could not make the "new" commands from his blog, work in my template.
<?section:force-page-count;'end-on-even-layout'?> -- even with this on the template, I'm still getting output with odd total numpages
<?section:xdofo:blank-on;'even-skip-page-count'?> -- cannot suppress the NUMPAGES value of MS Word
Do I need to apply additional patch(es) on top of Patch 5887917 for the MS Word add-on? Could you please tell me what am I missing?
Thanks.

Free Form Template and Combining Chart Values during Runtim

Hi Guys,
Need your expertise on this. We received some unreasonable request for the following:
1. Free Form Template DURING Runtime
- moving charts from one place to another by dragging them from one place to another during runtime
2. Combining of Chart values during Runtime
-to be able to mash-up 2 different charts during runtime. For example, dragging a chart to another chart
would result to a combined-value of chart. For instance, you have a Sales Chart and a Production Chart,
if and when Sales Chart is dragged and placed on top of Production Chart then it would mash-up the values
and will produce only one chart.
Is this even possible?
Hope you guys can help.
Kind Regards and Many Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark
1. Free form template is not possible with current version of Dashboard Designer. You may use the option of Dynamic Visibility to simulate this. But this might not serve your requirement 100 %.
2. Your requirement of mixing up chart just by dragging and droping on another is coming under Designing part. For designing we need software, in my point of view. Xcelsius is a Tool to generate required output in various formats. Here we need to finalise the output such as chart type/ data to be displayed/ format to be displayed, etc and while viewing we may play with data but not with objects other than dynamic visibility.
Hope this clarifies.
With best wishes
BaaRaa.
