Xml Publisher Report Without RDF

Hi experts,
I need to customize the seeded XML publisher report.Till now i developed XML publisher reports by developing rdf only. But here i didn't see any rdf for it..
without rdf how we can create the xml publisher report. I need to insert a field in this report where i need to insert this field.
where i found the SQL query for this report.Please help me
Thanks
Ashok

Thank u,
Here I need to customize the Sales Order XSL Template which is a seeded template in Order Management.
and it will execute when user select the actions button-> print and prview .so there is no concurrent program for this.they did the setups for this.
I didn't find any datetemplate for this in data defination window.here I need to change this one as
1.     Update the Report Header to read “Dispatch Note” instead of “ORDERING DOCUMENT”.
2.     Inclusion of logo for each police authority (Open Issue).
3.     Modification to include *“United Kingdom” instead of U.S.* in the free text portion of the PRODUCT section. “United Kingdom” value will be derived from the country specified for the selected organization and not hardcoded.
4.     Footer to include shipment date instead of Sales Order Creation date and the document should be available to print only after Ship Confirm.
5.     Updating the Layout template in the Transaction Type setup, so that it points to the modified layout template.
6.     The modified Dispatch Note document will be included in the Ship Confirm document set and this document set will be included in the respective Ship Confirm rules. This Ship Confirm Rule will be attached in the Shipping parameters tabs for both the organisations. This step would enable the Dispatch Note to be printed automatically after successful completion Ship Confirm process.
I have *.XSD file and .XSL file * .. I don't find any data template in datadefination window to see the SQL query.
I thought now i have to change the *.XSD AND .XSL FILES* is it right? Is there any other solution for this ..
Thanks
Ashok

CREATE XML PUBLISHER REPORT WITHOUT USING RDF

Hi Every one ,
Can anybody share his/her expertise on following issue ?
"How to create XML Publisher Report without using RDF?"
Your help is appreciated.

Hi Swapnesh
YOu do not need to create the XDODTEXE, its seeded for you. You need to do the following:
1. Create and test the data template
2. Load the data template to the template manager against a data definition
3. Create a concurrent program definition that uses the XDODTEXE as its executable
4. Create parameters (if required) for the CP and DT that match in name
You're done

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

XML Publisher Report in EBS without Standard Oracle Report

Hi folks ,
i have some questions.
Can I create a XML Publisher Report for the EBS without a Standard Oracle Report in EBS.
So that I can build up the files with the Desktop Publisher, create Data Definition / Template with Upload / Create the executable und concurrent and than only start the new program in EBS ?
I have the situation that I can start my program with the template in the background but ít is searching for the report on the file system.
Thanks in advance for the feedback.
regards
Kay

Hi Ravi ,
can i do it only with the xml Publisher , because when i tried it in the past and get all the staff like Template / DD / CP up and running and started the CR i get an error from the system that he is missing a report directly in the file system... so he searched for the report himself on system like a standard 6i Report. But the template and the dd is stored in the db. So my question again, can I use the XML Puplisher without a Standard Report or can i use a dummy file only for checking and after that he use my template / dd.
regards
Kay

Calling XML Publisher report(RDF based) From OAF

Hi All,
I have requirement where i need to call one of the custom XML Publisher report from oaf by passing the parameters.
and i dnt want this using concurrent program.
I have an idea of calling xml publisher report which is Data Template based(XML).
http://oracle-hack.blogspot.ae/2012/04/launching-xml-publisher-from-oa.html
but in my case the report is RDF based.
They are generating the XML using one of the custom rdf. How can we achieve this?
Please help.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
Yeah yes. this method i know in my case the Custom XML Report is based on a rdf.
So just i want to know it can be achievable ir not? if so how?
Thanks

XML publisher report works fine in English environment but NOT in Dutch

We are using Oracle Reports to generate XML file which will be input for XML Publisher report . Our requirement is to generate report in Dutch (Netherlands) language.
We developed a report which is working fine in English. Then we copied this RDF file to NL directory also registered concurrent program in dutch language but then it stopped working and gives error.
Basically it doesn't create any XML output .
Please help . Its URGENT.
Thanks in Advance.
Manoj

Hi Norman,
Thanks for the reply, actually my query was failing as it was trying to compare English date format (1-MAY-2007) which was stored in a DFF with Dutch date (1-MIE-2007) database format ,so it was not generating any xml output.
We have resolved this issue but now we are facing few other issue which are ,
I have created a template which has a current date field. I inserted current date in Dutch format i,e, (1-juni-2007), but concurrent program output appears with english date format (1-June-2007).
Same template has the customer name with 'Title' and this also appear in english i.e.Sir , in place of dutch title (Dhr.)
Is it possible to display .pdf output with
portrait (first page - Letter to customer)
and landscape(second page - Invoice data details) styles for multiple customers in one request?
We can do it for one customer by passing customer id so letter part (portrait output) is out of grouping and only data details (landscape) appear with multiple lines , but when we try to run it for multiple customers in one go , WITHOUT specifying a customer , it FAILS .
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks - Manoj, Utrecht

Different methods of creating an XML Publisher report

Hi All,
Can anyone please advice me on different methods of creating an XML Publisher report.
The method which we us is as follows -
1. Create an RDF file and upload the same in the /REPORTS/US path.
2. create a concurrent program, give output as XML.
3. Create a data definition, but here we do not upload any data definition.
4. Create a template and upload the RTF template.
But I have heard that there is a method wherein we do not have to create the RDF and simply adding the query to the XML file works.
But in that case do we upload anything in tht Data defition also ?
Can anyone please provide me any link or some place where I can read about different methods to create an XML report without the use of an RDF.
Regards,
Shruti

Hi Shruti,
There is a method where we need not to create RDF as data defination. You need to write a xml file which we upload as data defination. The short name for this data defination used as short name as concurrent program having executable XDODTEXE.
Sample XML data template :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<dataTemplate name="EmpData" description="Employee Details" version="1.0">
<dataQuery>
<sqlStatement name="Q1">
<![CDATA[select business_group_id, business_group_name
               from hrfv_business_groups
               where date_to is null
                 and business_group_id not in (0, 82)
                     order by business_group_id]]>
</sqlStatement>
<sqlStatement name="Q2">
<![CDATA[select employee_number,
                     title ,
                     full_name,
                     sex ,
                     date_of_birth,
                     email_address
             from per_all_people_f
             where business_group_id = :business_group_id
               and current_employee_flag ='Y'
               and trunc(sysdate) between effective_start_date and effective_end_date
               and rownum<11]]>
</sqlStatement>
</dataQuery>
<dataStructure>
<group name="G_BG" source="Q1">
<element name="BusinessGroupId" value ="business_group_id"/>
<element name="BusinessGroupName" value ="business_group_name"/>
<group name="G_EMP" source="Q2">
<element name="EmpNumber" value ="employee_number"/>
<element name="Title" value ="title"/>
<element name="FullName" value ="full_name"/>
<element name="Sex" value ="sex"/>
<element name="DateOfBirth" value ="date_of_birth"/>
<element name="EmailAddress" value ="email_address"/>
</group>
</group>
</dataStructure>
</dataTemplate>
This data template generates xml data which prints output on rtf template.
Hope this will help. Let me know for more info.

Run XML Publisher Report via URL (like Oracle Reports)

Hi All,
Is it possible to run xml-publisher report via URL?
In Oracle Reports works this fine:
http://test:7777/reports/rwservlet?server=test_bihome1&report=test1.rdf&userid=test/testv@db&desformat=pdf&destype=cache
We need this for public reports without user login.
Thanks
Thomas

Thomas,
I was waiting to get home before Tim replied... He got the better of me this time :-)
You say you want to let your users run reports using XMLP just by clicking on an URL same way you do with reports and without having to login. If I got the question right and assuming that:
1.Your company is not overly concerned on who runs what reports
2.Who sees what data
3.Your XMLP installation is on your intranet and firewalled from the outside
What you can do is:
On the main page of your XMLP Enterprise installation you should see a folder called "Guest". Any report you create under this folder is run as user "guest" which means you don't have to authenticate yourself as you would normally do.
I have tested this on my home server and this is what I've done:
1.Logged in as admin or any other user you've created with admin privileges created a report under the "Guest" folder.
2.Copied the URL, on my server it is "http://samba.private.net:15101/xmlpserver/Guest/People/People.xdo"
4.Logged off as admin and pasted the URL to a new browser window
5.Hit return and Voila, my report runs without the need to login to XMLP.
Hope this helps. Let us know how you got on.
Cheers,
Joao
PS: If you want to see the report for yourself here's the URL from the outside: http://medeiros.homelinux.net:15101/xmlpserver/Guest/People/People.xdo
I'll keep the link alive for a couple of days.

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 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 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".
Thanks,
Manasa.

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,
