Problem to display a negative number in XML Publisher output in excel

Hi All,
I am facing problem in displaying a negative number in XML Publisher output in excel.
My requirement is that I have to display a negative number in brackets when the output is taken in excel format. Eg: If the value is -123 then i have to display it as (123).
I have put these brackets using a formula column in the RDF, but it is the default functionality of excel that whenever there is a number in brackets then it automatically displays that as a negative value.
Can anyone please help me how I can display this negative number within brackets and not as a negative digit. Is there any special tag or is there any formula which can be used to convert this into text and written in the Help text of RTF template.
This is very urgent. If someone knows please reply asap.

XML publisher output report in excel format

Hi
I have created reports using XML Publisher, the default output preview format was PDF. While submitting the program, in the layout, I changed the format to EXCEL,it give me output in Excel. Now I need to send the output report as an attachment through e-mail.For this I have used a UNIX shell script to send the mail using uuencode and mailx commands.
I have fetched the name of the report from table using the following command.
SELECT file_name
FROM FND_CONC_REQ_OUTPUTS
WHERE FCR.CONCURRENT_REQUEST_ID = p_req_id;
The name of the report is : XXBG_PO_IFACE_SO_RPT_8556321_1.EXCEL
Following is the command to send the e-mail.
(cat $MAIL_BODY; uuencode XXBG_PO_IFACE_SO_RPT_8556321_1.EXCEL XXBG_PO_RPT.xls) | mailx -m -s "$MAIL_SUBJECT" $mail_id
I am receiving the mail with the attachement, but when i am trying to open the attachement it is throwing an error and nothing is displayed in the excel sheet.
Note: When I am sending the mail,in similar way, with 'PDF' attachement it is perfectly fine and the attachement is opening correctly.
Please help me.
Thanks in advance,
Madhu kumar

Hi schavali,
The error message is as follows
Microsoft Office Excel cannot access the file "https://xxxxxxx/Inbox/XXBG_PO_RPT.xls.
There are several possible reasons:
--The file path doesnot exist.
--The file is being used by another program.
--The workbook you are trying to save has the same name as a currently open workbook.
After throwing the error, it open s a balck excel sheet.
Hi hsawwan,
I have gone through the thread. I am able to see the report when I click the output tab on the concurrent request screen.
But the problem is, when I am sending the output report as an excel attachment then I am facing the problem.
There might be some problem with uuenocde or mailx command.
Thanks
Madhu Kumar.

XML Publisher Table problem

Hi,
I have been trying to build a table in a BI Report that does the following my attempts so far have not work. What I would like to happen is to have a table that has 15 rows displayed even if there are not 15 line items and in the event of more than 15 line items I would then like the extra lines to rollover to the next page displaying 15 rows in the table even if the remainder of line items is not 15. The report generates output for multiple customers. Please could someone advise how I could do this?
Thank you,
Mark

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 output does not appear in Request Set

Hi,
I have created a request set in which i have this XML Publisher report when i run this report through concurrent program i can see the report output but when i run through request set i am not able to see the report output.
One thing i noticed the request set does'nt attach the template to the XML Publisher report.
would appreciate if any one can help out.
Thanks in Advance.

Not sure if this is same issue, but I know that the template does not attach to the request if you have not defined Territory for the template while entering the Language. It does not prompt any error but then creates problem during submission.

Printing Barocdes on XML Publisher output

Hii,
My requirement is to print the barcodes for few fields in the output. We have developed the report in XML Publisher 5.6.3. As per Oracle i need to create a Class file and then Call that Class file from Template. I am done with the Class file with the help of example Oracle has provided in the user guide. But how can i call it from Template?
Following statement is mentioned in the user guide:
Use the following syntax in a form field in your template to register the barcode encoding class:
<?register-barcode-vendor:java_class_name;barcode_vendor_id?>
This command requires a Java class name (this will carry out the encoding) and a barcode vendor ID as defined by the class. This command must be placed in the template before the commands to encode the data in the template. For example: <?register-barcode-vendor:'oracle.apps.xdo.template.rtf.util.barcoder.BarcodeUtil';'XMLPBarVendor'?>
where oracle.apps.xdo.template.rtf.util.barcoder.BarcodeUtil is the Java class and XMLPBarVendor is the vendor ID that is defined by the class.
And then for encoding need to use <?format-barcode:data;'barcode_type';'barcode_vendor_id'?> command.
My doubt is where will i mention the above 2 commands in RTF template? The 2nd command (<?format-barcode:data;'barcode_type';'barcode_vendor_id'?>) can be mentioned in the field that need to be barcoded, but where should i put the 1st command?
Oracle has also mentioned that" "Many font vendors offer the code with their fonts to carry out the formatting; these must be incorporated as methods into a class that is available to the XML Publisher formatting libraries at runtime." can you please clarify what exactly do i need to do this?
Please help. It is urgent.
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
AS

The first issue to resolve is which barcode type do you want to use? - not all require encoding. If you are using code 39 (3 of 9) then you can just put the barcode fone in the report and it will output correctly.
I am also trying to acieve this, but am struggling with trying to get the java classes compiled on the PC for testing.
On the locations for the commands in the template, Tim dexter's blog has an example in a link on this entry: http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/2006/06/28/
Where did you find the details on the class file in the user guide? I have been struggling with the same thing.

BI Publisher output problem

Hi,
This is BI publisher report ....i have registered concurrent program and data definition and templates ...After we submit the SRS window the output came in XML template but not excel format ....wat is the reason ...plz help me...
Thanks,
Sidharth.
Edited by: user13100220 on Jul 5, 2012 12:29 AM

you need to call before report trigger in the datadefinition template.each time a xml publisher report is generated the output type is stored in table named fnd_conc_pp_actions.attribute5.
Please write a function like
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION get_xml_layout
RETURN BOOLEAN
IS
BEGIN
UPDATE FND_CONC_PP_ACTIONS
SET ATTRIBUTE5 = 'EXCEL'
WHERE REQUEST_ID = fnd_global.conc_request_id;
RETURN(TRUE);
EXCEPTION
RETURN(FALSE)
END;

XML Publisher Template Problem

Hi
This is very basic question as I am new to XML/BI Publisher
I am using templates in iRecruitment for Offers. I am facing problems when I am formatting numbers and uploading the templates.
Problem is when I see the offer letter from Application, it generates pdf with following format
120u000n00 whereas number should be 120,000.00
My number format is as follows
$#,##0.00;
I am using Word 2007 and saving the file as rtf document. Uploading the document to R12.0.4

What is your locale?
<?show-page-total:TotalFieldName;'Oracle-number-format'?>
"BI Publisher supports two methods for specifying the number format:
• Microsoft Word's Native number format mask
• Oracle's format-number function
Note: You can also use the native XSL format-number function to
format numbers. See: Native XSL Number Formatting, page 5-126."
"To use the Oracle format mask or the Microsoft format mask, the numbers in your data source must be in a raw format, with no formatting applied (for example: 1000.00). If the number has been formatted for European countries (for example: 1.000,00) the format will not work."
Is more than one format model being applied? That will cause problems too.

XML Publisher Output in different forrmat

Hi,
Any help with the below problem would be highly helpful.
I have an xml data file which has the folloing looping structure:
-<G_REPORT>
-<G_HEADER>
<NAME>xyz</NAME>
<ADDR1>111</ADDR1>
</G_HEADER>
-<G_LINE>
<LINE_NUM>1</LINE_NUM>
<TRX_NUM>11<TRX_NUM>
</G_LINE>
-<G_LINE>
<LINE_NUM>2</LINE_NUM>
<TRX_NUM>22<TRX_NUM>
</G_LINE>
-<G_LINE>
<LINE_NUM>3</LINE_NUM>
<TRX_NUM>33<TRX_NUM>
</G_LINE>
</G_REPORT>
My template looks something like this:
=============================
Header:
Name: <?NAME?>
Addr1: <?ADDR1?>
<for each: G_LINE>
Line:
Line Number: <?LINE_NUM?>
Transaction: <?TRX_NUM?>
<end: for each>
=============================
The output is expected as below:
=============================
Name: XYZ
Addr1: 111
Line Number: 1
Transaction: 11
Line Number: 2
Transaction: 22
Line Number: 3
Transaction: 33
=============================
The header part is expected to print in a single page, Each line part is expected to print in a new page. Thus the above report should be printing in 4 different pages.
But my report prints the output with line 1 continuing soon after the header, line 2 continuing after the line 1 and line 3 continuing after line 2.
Please help me in printing each of these lines in a different page.

Two options:
1. If your motive is just to have a line break, then use <?split-by-page-break:?> before end for-each group
2. use for-each@section, if you want to reset page numbers/print group information in header/footer
