XML Publisher/Report Definition - Excel Template Issue

Hi everyone,
I'm Diego, and I've been getting some issue to upload/download Excel templates using XML Publisher and Report Definition.
I've been working over Real Estate Module and I get an activity to make an Excel Report. I've made all necessary step to make an excel template; create a .xls template, uploading the file to XML Publisher Repository, creating a Report Definition associating a RDA, and so on...
When I generate the file in the Web (DV), it doesnt work; when I download the final excel, it doesnt appear any information. It comes just the statics texts and formatting, the real data information inside xml doesn't appear at excel.
I've made a lot of tests and changes, but without success.
FYI, I've already made a .rtf template and it worked well.
I'd really apreciate if anyone help me or at least having any clue about it.
Thanks so much,
Diego Santos

Hi my friend,
First of all, thanks for reply.
I've checked the template definition, and it seems OK.
I've created the XML Publish Repository with Object Type = TL, in excel template I didn't put any additional info, (the field Template Type = TYPE_EXCEL_TEMPLATE cames by default).
As I told above, i've made many tests..with and without grouping, but no success.
However, when I test it locally it works. When I test the .xls + xml using Template Viewer runs well. But when I download the .xls on Web, it didn't retrieve any data information. =/
I've already downloaded this doc, and I'm using it as support.
If you need any more information, pls let me know that I'll tell you in a sec.
Thanks a lot,
Diego

Unable to print xml publisher report in excel format in R12

Hi All,
We are unable to print xml publisher report in excel format in R12. We were able to see the excel output but it's printing junk characters while printing and it's printing without any issue with PDF format.
Please let me know how to fix this issue.
Thanks,
Raja

Hi Raja,
I presume you have gone through the debugging process of testing your template locally first to get the expected result.....
If yes, this note might probably be helpful "Changing Output Format to RTF or Excel in XML Publisher Request Does Not Display Output Correctly (Doc ID 404512.1)"
Good Luck,

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.

XML Publisher report definitions not opening

Id like to reimport all the XML Pub Report definitions into my PS instance.
I have a PT 8.49 instance and whenever i click on the report definitions of the XML publisher i get this JAVA error:
"Java Exception: java.lang.NoCl assDefFoundError: com/peopleso ft/pt/xmlpublisher/PTRTFPocess or: finding class com.peopleso ft.pt.xmlpublisher.PTRTFPocess or (2,725) PSXP_ENGINE.RTFProc essor.OnExecute Name:generate XSL PCPC:239 Statement:9 Called from:PSXP_RPTDEFNMANAGE"
SCREENSHOT: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/4/al4q.png/
I was thinking maybe I could export the report definitions from a working instance and import here. Does that seem like a solution that will work

PSXPCLEAN isnt part of PT 8.49
So i tried instead to migrate XMLP definitions using Application Designer from a working instance of PS CS.
But there error is still the same:
"Java Exception: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/peoplesoft/pt/xmlpublisher/PTRTFPocess or: finding class com.peoplesoft.pt.xmlpublisher.PTRTFPocess or (2,725) PSXP_ENGINE.RTFProcessor.OnExecute Name:generate XSL PCPC:239 Statement:9 Called from:PSXP_RPTDEFNMANAGE"
Notice the underlined part.
In the working instance it is "PTRTFProcess" not "PTRTFPocess"

We recently upgraded to TestStand 2012, and we are having trouble with the creating a readable report. We have the results set to .xml. Previously we were using TestStand 4.2 and we were able to convert the .xml to .xls using a stylesheet. But this doesn't work now. I’m getting an error – doesn’t have a top level element. We installed TestStand 2012 using a new enterprise site license, and I wondering if we are missing something on the install. I don't see any TestStand 2012 folder in the C:\Program Files\National Instruments\TestStand xxx. Also is there a better way to create reports that are already converted to .xls, so that anyone can read the reports using excel?
Thanks, Dale
I do not think TestStand ships with a stylesheet to do any such conversion, so I am assuming this is a custom stylesheet that you have either written or gotten from a 3rd party. It's possible something is formatted differently in the xml in TestStand 2012 that your stylesheet is not expecting. You might need to debug and modify your stylesheet to make it work with TestStand 2012.
There should be a TestStand folder. Perhaps you are on a 64-bit OS in which case the folder would be located at:
C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\TestStand xxx
Hope this helps,

XML Publisher Phase 2 Excel template

Hello,
I hava a trouble with the embeded XML Publisher in JD Edwards. I need to generete a template to process informatión in MS Excel, and i don't know how.
Can anyone explain me how can i do that?
Thanks a lot.

To create an RTF template use install Oracle XML Publisher Desktop, an add-in to Microsoft Word. To create a PDF template, define a layout in a Word document and then convert it to PDF with Adobe Acrobat Distiller.

Thanks in advance..

Judging by the error, it looks like the xsd can not be constructed.
I would start of by checking if the target location is defined in the Intergration Broker.

Run BI Publisher report (with Excel template) on Windows 7

Hi, All.
Sorry for my English :)
I have some problem:
I use BIP standalone for my reports. Some reports are in Excel (with Excel template). When I run it on PC with WinXP - all is OK. But, when I try to run it on PC with Win7, then Excel is opening and writing this "Native file format and file extension does not mismatch. Before open be sure of file does not damage" (this is my translation). If I try save file on the hard disk, then file is 0 kb. But if a report has RTF-template, then it opening normaly on Win7's PC.
Have you any ideas?
Thanks!

option1:
The query should be same @ detail level, only the template has to be different for summary and details.
@runtime, user can choose to see the detail/summary
Disadvantage, if the data is huge,
advantage , only one report.
option2:
create two separate reports summary and details
and create diff data and diff layout and keep it as different report
Advantage, query will perform based on the user run report, summary/detail, so that you can write efficient query.
Dis advantage , two reports query/template to be maintained.

XML Publisher report default output in Excel format.

Hi,
We have defined one concurrent program whose output format is text, this concurrent program executable is PL/SQL and in this PL/SQL program we are generating XML data and displaying XML using below fnd_request.
l_conc_id := FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST('GMP','GMPPDROP','', '',FALSE,
p_sequence_num,chr(0),'','','','','','','','','','','',
We have also defined template for this.
Using below fnd_request we are choosing template and data is getting generated in PDF format. Now our requirement is to display the output by default in Excel format.
FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST('XDO','XDOREPPB','', '',FALSE,'',
l_conc_id,554,G_comb_pdr_temp,
G_comb_pdr_locale,'Y','RTF','',scale_report,'','','','','',
When i saw XML Report Publisher concurrent program, there is one parameter for Output Format and i tried passing 'Excel'/EXCEL/excel to this parameter but output is still coming in PDF format.
FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST('XDO','XDOREPPB','', '',FALSE,'',
l_conc_id,554,G_comb_pdr_temp,
G_comb_pdr_locale,'Y','RTF','Excel',scale_report,'','','','','',
I have also tried giving Default Output to EXCEL in template definition but this is also not working.
Your valuable suggestions highly appreciated.
Thanks

Line crossing at the corner of the boxes in XML Publisher Report (PDF)

Hi,
We are facing some issue in XML Publisher report using RTF template and PDF output. In PDF output it looks like 2 lines are crossing each other at the corner of the boxes (which are made of the Table in RTF). Did you guys face this issue earlier? Is there any resolution?
thanks,
Ranen

Hi,
I would propose reviewing the eText documentation. I noticed that for RTF templates it's difficult explicitly set the length though within an eText template, you can specify the intended length.
The Oracle post is, in my opinion, convoluted, though it's a point in the right direction

When running an xml publisher report the xml output leads to 9 mb and the excel output file leads to 20 mb.But the output records is originally 4000 records. When copy to new excel it is showing 3.5 mb only. Does anyone knows the answer for this issue?

When running an xml publisher report the xml output leads to 9 mb and the excel output file leads to 20 mb. The records contained in excel file is 4000 records. When taking the excel records and copy to new excel file the excel file size is 3.5 mb only.Why does the oracle software generates 20mb file?
Does any one knows the answer please advice?

Hello,
This issue is because the Excel output from BI Publisher is MHTML (XML Publisher generates XHTML) not binary .xls.
MHTML and XHTML are more verbose formats than binary .xls.
It will be large because the current Excel output is just an HTML and not compressed like PDF. Please use the workaround (save it as .xls file). This is a known limitation of RTF layout templates.
BI Publisher Enterprise has a new feature True Excel Templates. The layouts generate binary Excel output.
Excel Output File Size Generated By BI Publisher is Very Large (Doc ID 760437.1)
