NO, the license for that version of BI Publisher does NOT allow you to use it with external tools.... You would be better off getting a new licensed version for your APEX install...

Add XML Publisher Administrator responsibility with EBS 11.5.9

Hi all !
I'm exploring the possibility to use XML Publisher inside Oracle E Business Suite 11.5.9. because...unfortunately it's not possible to upgrade EBS to the 11.5.10 version
I found a note on the forum which says: "Starting from 11.5.9 the XMLP is bundled with Apps. You just need to add XML Publisher Administrator responsibility to your profile, and install MS Word template builder on your PC".
So...my questions are:
1) how can I add the XML Publisher Administrator responsibility to my profile ? Should I set up something (already existing into EBS), or should I install a patch ?
2) how can I know the XML Publisher version bundled within Apps (if what is written inside that note it's true), 'cause I'd like to use the 5.6.3 version
Also, I looked for a solution on Metalink and the only note regarding how to use XML Publisher inside E Business Suite 11.5.9. is the note id 278727.1 (even I should install the 4.5 XML Publisher version - TOO OLD)
Thanks in advance
Alessandro

Hi Ravi thanks for you answer !
So....I tried to create the responsibility from scratch, because nothing is defined for XML Publisher, in this way (from the OA System Administrator):
Responsibility Name: XML Publisher Administration
Application: XML Publisher
Responsibility Key: XDO_ADMINISTRATION
.....but inside the Data Group area
Name : Standard
Application: ?
....and inside the Menu area which information should I write ?
Is there something to follow in order to create from scratch a XML responsibility ?
Thanks again

Custom Rowtype Template with apex.widget.report.sort() - does this work?

Hi Folks!
I have a report with a custom rowtype template (3 rows for each dataset) and I have fiddeled around with the build-in javascript sorting-function. (Cause as it seems you can't use the standard sorting functionality on custom rowtemplates.) I came up with a short solution, but I would like to know how safe this is.
Setup very simple:
The Header-Template [before rows]
<table id="myDomId">
    <thead><tr>
        <th><a href="javascript:sortCol(1)">Col1</a></th>
        <th><a href="javascript:sortCol(2)">Details</a></th>
        <th><a href="javascript:sortCol(3)">Col3</a></th>
    </tr></thead>
Then the javascript handling runs like that:
var qmmSorter = {};
$(function(){
   setupSorters();
function setupSorters(){
    qmmSorter.DomCatch = /\d+/.exec($('#myDomId>div').attr('id'))[0];
    qmmSorter.lastCol = 1;
    qmmSorter.asc = true;
function sortCol(colnum){
//console.log(colnum);
    if (qmmSorter.DomCatch) {
        qmmSorter.lastCol = colnum;
        qmmSorter.asc = !qmmSorter.asc;
        javascript:apex.widget.report.sort( qmmDomCatch,'fsp_sort_'+colnum + ( qmmSorter.asc ? '' : '_desc') );
Maybe I'll also add some arrows to indicate what sorting took place. Tested so far in IE9 and Moz - all we really use in our internal network.
But this seems all a bit just too easy. so I'd be really thankful for your comments.
Tanks and greetings,
Tobi

It would be even easier to use column header substitution and retain the built-in sort functionality (although this includes the sort direction image bug).
<table id="myDomId">
<thead><tr>
    <th>#1#</th>
    <th>#2#</th>
    <th>#3#</th>
</tr></thead>

XML publisher multiple templates in a single report

Hello
We are currently implementing PeopleSoft benefits where the user will have an option to select a benefit template from multiple selections and create a report form based from the combination of template he selected.
My question would be based from the multiple templates, is it possible if the templates be printed out into just one report using xml publisher?
thank you!

Yes. This is possible by using sub templates.
You can declare sub templates in the beginning and then call the sub template.
You will need to register the sub templates in "Content Library" (Reporting Tools > XML Publisher> Content Library) to be able to call thses from another template.

I get "ERRORS: Empty symbol. [pop]" when publish PlatypusGame.fla with Toolkit for CreateJS

I am using platypusgame.zip downloaded from http://www.adobe.com/devnet/createjs/articles/getting-started.html. I did not changed anything. Default settings. SWF file is publishing with no errors. Flash CS6 on Macbook OS X 10.7.4. No preview in Safari.
What may cause this error?
Upd: The same error when I publish it with Toolkit for CreateJS using Flash CS6 on PC Windows7. Here, despite on this error, I can see preview in Google Chrome.
Am I the only one who gets this error in Output panel?

So, after 2 months of conversations with Adobe Technical Support, and getting from their folk some contradictory answers (here is some examples: "This is not an Adobe's issue, this is CreateJS's issue, so ask about that on their forum", to "Yes, this is a bug and it was fixed but we won't tell you in what version it was fixed", "No, this bug has never been registered yet in our bug database, we will registere it for you", "Here is the bug number ... , you can track it in Adobe database via this link...", "No, you cannot track it via that link, because this bug is registered in our local bug database, you have not access to it" etc.), I got the "final" answer that basically contained 2 part: 1) You cannot use audio in your project (i.e. createJS Toolkit won't convert it), this is a feature, not a bug 2) so, the" Error" message should actually reads as an "Warning" message, that audio won't be converted.
I am pretty sure that if I talked to another Adobe guy next time, I would probably get yet another answer, but I won't. You may, if you want. Be prepare though for the following: 1) you will have to wait at least 30 min when a next representative is free (do not be fooled with their "peace of mind" offer - they never called back in that period of time that they promise) 2) the 1-st level representatives sounds like have no clue what is what and how it works 3) you cannot call the next level representative even if they leave you there number and extention and tell you to call them directly - the first level representative just won't connect you to that extention 4) they may ask you what is the better day and time to call you back - they never called at that day/time 5) they may call you at 7 am because of different time zone 5) they will give you contradictory answers 6) every time you call them, you will have to explaine everything from very beginning, and after every newpeace of information (new to this particular representative, even if that was descussed several time with another representatives) , they will put you on hold for 10-15 minutes to discusse it with someone else 6) every more advanced level representative will want to share your screen and see the problem "with their own eyes"; does not matter that you provided your file with your case, they won't bother to try it on their end until you insist that to do that. And even they did and admited they had the same issue, the next persdon to whome you will talk next time will want to share you screen "to see it with their own eyes"!!!
So, if you are ready for that - go ahead

APEX For reports and charts

Hi Y'all,
I have an application running on plsql webtool kit, now only for reports and charts I want to use APEX. I would like to put a reports menu in the application which will take the user to the reports / charts created by APEX. Is that possible?
Also, the application user will be authenticated at the loggin on time, so when he/she hits APEX I want to pass the same authentication to APEX as well. Is that possible?
Thanks in advance for your replies.
-Vatsa

Hello Vatsa,
Why don't you just recreate everything in APEX?
We had a customer that wanted exactly that, but if you do the calculation about supporting a plsql webtoolkit app, it doesn't make sense. APEX is soo much faster to develop in.

Dimitri

XML Publisher errors out with java.lang.IndexArrayOutofBounds 5 =5 when out

Hi Everyone,
I have a particular report which has some dynamic columns involved.
On certain cases (more than 5 dynamic columns) when the report is run with output as PDF it gives out an error java.lang.IndexArrayOutofBounds 5>=5 (where the number differs for each case)
But for the same data when i use output type as HTML or EXCEL the output is coming out to be fine.
<?for-each-group@column: G_TRADING_PARTNER_NAME3;BID_NUMBER2?> for the column header of the dynamic columns
<?for-each-group@cell:G_TRADING_PARTNER_NAME3;BID_NUMBER2?> for the column data
My version of XMLP is 5.6.0
and apps version is 11.5.10.2
Is there anything that needs to be changed for the PDF output ?
Kindly let me know in case your have come across such issues.
Thanks
Anoop

Glad you have sorted this - note that the fnd_concurrent_requests table has the fields pp_Start_date and pp_end_date which will show how long post processing is taking.
Good to a good idea to monitor this in relation to the setting you have made in the profile option Concurrent:OPP Timeout profile option though 3 hours should cover most things!!!!

Integrating OBIP with GRC for Reporting

Hello Experts
I am very new to the GRC suite. I wanted to know if it is possible to use OBIP for developing custom reports for AACG to meet specific audit requirements. Are there any OOTB report templates that can be loaded in OBIP for eGRC?
Regards
Deepali B

1.Technically you should be able to use OBIP to develop custom reports for AACG although the effort required might be significant, although some integration is provided between EGRC 8.6.4+ and OBIP OOTB.
2.No there are no OOTB report templates that can be loaded in OBIP for eGRC.

Converting Oracle Reports to XML Publisher

Hello,
I've been trying to convert my Oracle Reports to use XML Publisher templates and make the canned reports more visually appealing. I've been following the steps described in note 295409.1 on metalink to change OR output to XML and calling the XMLP Engine to apply the template.
However I'm encountering errors when XMLP is calling the template. In order to jump start my template development, I've used the utility in Release 12 to change the RDF file into the PL/SQL packages and RTF template. Then I am attempting to reengineer these templates back into 11.5.10 and uploading them via XML Publisher Administrator. I am experiencing the errors described in the following forum thread:
XML Publisher error..urgent
I've located the problem within the template itself, but is this because of the conversion utility in release 12 (XML Version 5.6.3) is not compatible with our current XMLP version of 5.6.2 in 11i?
Any assistance would be helpful.
Thanks!
Ellen

This could have something to do with the fact that your printer is not set up correctly. Can you run a plain text (OReports) file output to the same printer? If not, then the printer is not set up in FND correctly. If you can ...
Remeber that unless you have a more modern printer that can handle PDF documents natively then XMLPs PDF is going to need to be converted to PS or PCL. I would suggest you investigate the PASTA printer driver and get that set up. It provides the ability to call a program pdf2ps for instance, to convert the PDF to PS. There is a bunch of info on metalink
