XML Publisher report giving XML tag output

Dear All,
Please note that we need to convert the standard report 'Bill of Material Comparison Report' to XML Publisher report.
But we were not able to get the desired PDF output instead it shows only XML output.
This report is not a direct concurrent program call to rdf, this concurrent program is triggered from a function.
How can we overcome this issue..,
Please update,
Many thanks...,

Hi Kiran,
Please find the below info:
Could you please confirm whether you have made the standard program's executable as 'XDODTEXE', and created a data definition with the rdf shorname and Data templte with the template defined.
-- Done
Could you also provide how your calling the report and when the request submitted are u able to see the template name on the submitted request ?
-- The report is called through the application (in Bill of materials through a Form Function) When we select the comparison, it will display a comparison form, where we need to select the appropriate parameters and a button called 'Report' if clicked, it will fire the 'Bill of Material Comparison Report' concurrent program
But after the concurrent program submission, we cannot see any template been attached to the submitted conc. pprog. but the template is been already attached to the concurrent program through the XML Publisher Administrator
Many thanks....

    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)

  • XML Publisher report not printing excel output due to special characters

    Hello,
    I am trying to create a xml publisher report which should display the output in excel. But the program completes with a warning status and the output is displayed as XML instead of excel, with some errors "An invalid character was found in text content. Error processing resource " and i think these errors are due to the special characters(eg: city/province - A Coruña, Cáceres). If i give rownum < 10 in my query, where there are no such characters it works fine and i am getting an excel output.
    Tried changing the XML encoding and it doesn't help (both mentioned below)
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    Do anyone have a solution for this
    Thanks in advance

  • How to call the XML Publisher Report thro Standard PO Output for Comm.

    Hi
    We need to call our custom report(XML Publisher Report) from the standard PO Output for Communication Report.
    There is a parameter(Purchase Order Layout) in PO Output for Communication in which we can see no. of standard reports. We want to add our custom report in that list so that when we will run this standard report by selecting our custom report for Purchase Order Layout parameter, we should get the output as per our Custom report.

  • Creating XML Publisher report without xml data source

    Hi
    Anyone developed XML publisher without xml source.I wanted to know is there any way to develop that..
    Presently we need a .xml file to develop any report on XML Publisher.But if there will be a way where is no .xml file and we need to generate tags for the data from scratch
    thanks
    kp

    So why develop a report if there is no data? I can only think that you have a bunch of static text, maybe an instruction page you want to publish? If so, you still need a data source, it can be a dummy source
    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <ROOT/>
    ie no data per se. BIP needs a source even if there is not data to merge.
    Cheers

    Hi Vetsrini,
    We're on 10.1.3.4.1 and siebel 8.1.1.3 and when trying to open a report from within siebel in the output format EXCEL (selected from the parameter applet), it just opens the document in the browser.
    Is there a way to get it to open directly in Excel? I guess the reason is the file extension*.EXCEL, how could we get the extension to be in excel format (xls)?
    We don't want our users to have to do this themself.
    Regards,

    I am still working through the implications of having a data connection defined.  I notice that every time I submit, it creates two records in my database, one with all the fields blank, and one with the data and attachment.

  • XML Publisher Report Output from OAF Page

    Hi,
    I created a button in a OAF page, and called the XML publisher Report program on click of this button. The concurrent request was ran when check from View Requests. When I click on viewout, the pdf document was open with the option, open, save, cancel. But this is not coming up in the OAF page. when debugged the code, the url is null.

    String s1 = oadbtransactionimpl.getAppsContext().getEnvStore().getEnv("TWO_TASK");

    // throw new RuntimeException();
    System.out.println("URL is null");
    System.out.println(" print ouput url - " + s4 );
    // throw OAException.wrapperException(exception);
    oadbtransactionimpl.putValue("OutputURL", s4);
    System.out.println(" print ouput url - " + s4 );
    }

    Look at the links AJ gave.
    Basically what you will do is create a Data Definition and assign a Data Template to it. Create a (document) Template and assign it to your data definition. You will use the XML Publisher Java API classes to pass parameters to your data template and extract the XML data. Then you will use this in conjunction with your document template and the OAF integration region to present the final output to the user.
    All of these things are in the XML Publisher documentation and Javadocs.

  • XML Publisher Report not generating the PDF output.

    Hi,
    I am trying to develop a XML Publisher Report in R12 Vision Instance.
    I have developed the rdf report and concurrent program with XML as output format. Ran the concurrent program and I got the XML output. Based on XML output I have created the rtf template. Using both the template and xml output I have created in Data Definition and Template in XML Publisher Administrator Responsibility. Now I am comming to the concurrent program and running the program, here instead of generating the PDF output it is generating again the XML output and concurrent program completing with warning status.
    When I am trying to do the same in 11i Vision Instance, Concurrent Program completing with normal status and when trying to view the output it is saying "Unable to Publish output for the Processed Request".
    Kindly please help me out in this issue.
    Thanks,

    Hi Mahesh,
    Here the concurrent programs are not erroring out. It is completing with Warning status and when we click on View Output the output is coming in XML format instead of PDF, this is in R12 Vision Instance.
    In 11i Vision Instance, concurrent program is completing with Normal Status but when we click on View Output it is saying "Unable to Publish output for specified request".
