XML Publisher Report Output

Hi,
For one of our XML Publisher report, the output is varying from one instance to another. The data output is same.
There are nine records that need to be displayed.
In the first instance, all the nine records are being displayed in the first page.
In the second instance, eight records are being displayed in the first page and the last record is being displayed in the next page.
Please let me know what could be the cause/resolution for this issue.
Thanks,
Krishna

before all you need to check version of publisher with patches
Liviu Iliescu-Oracle how data source can impact to output in this case ?

The data output is same.

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.
Please see the below code.
OADBTransactionImpl oadbtransactionimpl = (OADBTransactionImpl)paramOAPageContext.getRootApplicationModule().getOADBTransaction();
String s1 = oadbtransactionimpl.getAppsContext().getEnvStore().getEnv("TWO_TASK");
System.out.println("s1 = " + s1);
String s2 = oadbtransactionimpl.getAppsContext().getEnvStore().getEnv("GWYUID");
System.out.println("s2 = " + s2);
String s3 = "BEGIN :1 := fnd_webfile.get_url(fnd_webfile.request_out, :2, :3, :4, 2); end;";
CallableStatement callablestatement = paramOAPageContext.getApplicationModule(paramOAWebBean).getOADBTransaction().createCallableStatement(s3, 1);
System.out.println("s3 = " + s3);
if(requestId != 0)
try
Number number = new Number(requestId);
callablestatement.registerOutParameter(1, 12);
callablestatement.setInt(2, number.intValue());
callablestatement.setString(3, s2);
callablestatement.setString(4, s1);
callablestatement.execute();
String s4 = callablestatement.getString(1);
System.out.println("Before S4 if statement");
if(s4 == null || s4.equals(""))
// 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 output in RTF format does not display full page

Hi,
We have one XML Publisher report, the output of report in RTF format is not getting displayed in Full Page in normal way (MS Word -->View menu --> Print layout) but we can see full page display when we do MS Word -->View menu --> Outline.
Appreciate your valuable inputs on this.
Is this a template issue or any profiles needs to be set.
Thanks

Do you have any header and footer on your template?

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.

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....

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

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,
Manasa.

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.

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)

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.
Since PO Output for Communication is a Java Concurrent Program, we are not able to place our custom report in the list of Purchase Order layout Parameter.
