XML Publisher rtf output not consistent with the rtf created

I am using XML publisher to generate a custom report.
The approach I folllowed:
1) AM Class: Write the VO data to XMLNode using vo.writeXML() method
2) XML Publisher Administrator Responsibility: Create a data template and attach the xml created in step1 as "Preview Data"
3) XML Publisher Administrator Responsibility: Create a rtf template (contains images and text), attach the data template (step 2) and attach the rtf created.
4) Controller class: Use TemplateHelper.processTemplate() method, passing the rtf template and the XML data from VO.
5) Verify the rtf output in application.
Issues I am having are as follows:
1) Major issue is page format. I have saved my rtf file with a different page format as below:
     File->Page Setup->Paper->Width:255 pt
               ->Height:165 pt
     File->Page Setup->Margins->Top: 12 pt
                    ->Bottom: 0.1 pt
                    ->Left: 0.1 pt
                    ->Right: 12 pt
When I open my document from the application, the margins and page setup rtf output is not retained (as given in teh doc), hence my whole layout is disturbed.
Thus, I am getting a very weird layout when I open my rtf output from application.
How can I retain the page settings?
2) I added a image, and the size of the image also is not retained as well.
And if I set the layout wrapping style anything other than "In line with text", the image does not show up in the output.
Would greatly appreciate if someone can put some light on this.

RTF & PDF output can't be exact same, we can minimize the difference by eliminating all extra spaces(Ex: from table rows, in between form fields etc.) from RTF while generating RTF output.
For reference:
BUG:8662322 - RTF FORMAT DOES NOT SHOWS WITH FIXED HEIGHT OF ROW

IN Operator in xml publisher RTF

Hi,
I am working on XML Publisher reports ( r12 EBS, Database 10g). Is there any way i can use 'IN' operator in RTF.
I have following requirement.
my rtf:
<?count?> --paramter
name1 name2 name3 name4
<?for each-group?> <?name1?> <?name2?> <?name3?> <?name4?> <?end for-each?>
if i enter count 1, i want to display 'name1'
if i enter count 2, i want to display 'name1 and name2'
if i enter count 3, i want to display 'first 3 names'
if enter count 3, i want to display all names.
Could somebody help me how to achieve this. Can i use 'IN' Operator in RTF.
Thanks in advance.

You can use the 'contains' function. Check out the following:

Parse Error in XML Publisher .rtf template during "preview"

I've created a template based upon a working one with a few tweaks, but it does not work. It validates okay in XML PUblisher but the preview fails with this error:
Caused by: oracle.xdo.parser.v2.XMLParseException: Attribute 'select' not found in 'xsl:for-each'.
at oracle.xdo.parser.v2.XSLProcessor.reportException(XSLProcessor.java:806)
at oracle.xdo.parser.v2.XSLProcessor.newXSLStylesheet(XSLProcessor.java:571)
... 14 more
Since I don't have explicitly "xsl" anywhere, the actual problem is unclear to me. I have attached the template. I'd appreciate any sugestions. All I need to do is
1. Loop through all Campus Community checklist items
2. Loop through all STDNT_TEST_COMP rows
As I cannot attach the template or sample data, I"m pasting below the relevant portion of the template, even though it may look odd in plain text.
<?for-each-group:row_CHECKLIST_ITEMS;./fld_CHECKLIST_CD?>
APP Materials     Associated ID
<?for-each:current-group()?><?sort:fld_CHKLST_ITEM_CD;'ascending';data-type='text'?> <?if:fld_ITEM_STATUS='I'?> fld_CHKLST_ITM_DESCR

Sort Date format in Oracle XML Publisher

Hi All,
I have a requirement like trx_date sort. i have taken trx_date in dd-mon-yyyy format. now i given sort option like this..
<?for-each:G_TRX_ORDER_NUMBER?><?sort:TRANSACTION_TYPE?><?sort:DUE_DATE;'ascending';data-type=date?> <?sort:TRX_NUMBER?>
now i have 3 dates
07-NOV-10
20-MAY-11
20-DEC-10
using above sort option.. this dates are not coming as per the ascending order.
Can any one tell me what i have to ?
Thanks

What is your application release?
Does the sort work for other data types?
What if you change "<?sort:DUE_DATE;'ascending';data-type=date?>" to "<?sort:DUE_DATE;'ascending';data-type='date'?>", does it make any difference?
Few examples about the sort can be found in these docs/links.

XML publisher - page number not displaying

Hi,
I am creating a report using xml publisher rtf template ,The result is being displayed in a table if the no of rows are more the table may extend to several pages, I want to display page numbers like 1 of 5 on First page,2 of 5 on 2nd page and so on, also is it possible that the table headers are repeated on next page?
Thanks in advance....

Hi,
Use <?start:body?> for defining your header and it will repeat on every page.
Also add <?end body?> as closing, for footer logic.

Image not showing in XML Publisher [works on windows, not unix]

I have an xml publisher RTF template that references an image from a URL passed in from the xml data file. The report definition references the image as follows:
<fo:external-graphic>
<xsl:attribute name="src">
<xsl:value-of select="//fld_FILE_PATH_NAME"/>
</xsl:attribute>
The XML produced for the report correctly contains one single element to resolve to the URL:
<fld_FILE_PATH_NAME>file:////i01_02/psoft/90/finsys/appserv/FSDSYS90/files/OZ57_EX_E0445_0000000303.png</fld_FILE_PATH_NAME>
When running in PeopleSoft on a windows application server the process works fine and I can see the image. When I run this in our unix solaris environment, PT 8.49, the report runs but the image does not display. I have checked that the image does exist in the correct location I ran firefox in gnome and pasted the file location below and it resolved fine.
I am referring to the file using a 'file' URL as follows:
file:////i01_02/psoft/90/finsys/appserv/FSDSYS90/files/OZ57_EX_E0445_0000000303.png
Any ideas?
Glenn

OK, this was a confusing one, and I suspect is a bug.
In the end, after using the xdo.log [debugger], we saw that the xml publisher engine is stripping off two slashes as the beginning of the URL construct. So, the solution, is to add two additional slashes.
So, the URL which ended up working is:
file://////opt/oracle/90/findev/appserv/FSDDEV90/files/OZ57_EX_E0445_0000000303.png
which resolves to the file /opt/oracle/90/findev/appserv/FSDDEV90/files/OZ57_EX_E0445_0000000303.png
FYI - our environment is Solaris 10 using the Oracle Application Server, PT 8.49

Unable to view image if the size is more than 3KB using XML Publisher.

Hello,
We are printing PO approver signature using xml publisher (rtf) on a pdf.
If the size of the image is 3KB or less, the image gets printed.
But, if the size is more than 3KB the image does not get printed.
Additional Info:
1. The signature is stored as jpg image in fnd_lobs table.
2. On following code is mentioned in the rtf
<fo:instream-foreign-object content-type="image/jpg">
<xsl:value-of select="IMG_SIGNATURE"/>
</fo:instream-foreign-object>
3. We are using the following function that converts BLOB to CLOB.
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION XX_BLOBTOBASE64
b IN BLOB
RETURN CLOB
IS
sizeb PLS_INTEGER := 4080 ;
buffer RAW(4080);
offset PLS_INTEGER DEFAULT 1;
RESULT CLOB;
BEGIN
-- dbms_lob.createtemporary
-- lob_loc => RESULT
-- , cache => FALSE
-- , dur => dbms_lob.CALL
-- LOOP
-- BEGIN
-- dbms_lob.READ
-- ( lob_loc => b
-- , amount => sizeb
-- , offset => offset
-- , buffer => buffer
-- EXCEPTION
-- WHEN no_data_found
-- THEN
-- EXIT;
-- END;
-- offset := offset + sizeb;
-- dbms_lob.append
-- ( dest_lob => RESULT

-- END LOOP;
DBMS_LOB.createtemporary(lob_loc => RESULT, CACHE => FALSE, dur => 0);
Wf_Mail_Util.EncodeBLOB ( b, RESULT );
RETURN RESULT;
END;
Requesting any of you to let us know if there is any method to resolve this issue.
Thanks,

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.

Wordpad object in rtf format - XML publisher

We are trying to insert a Wordpad OLE object(Printer Signature Escape code Sequence) in the xml template and trying to generate the xml report in rtf format. When we generate the report or preview in rtf format the inserted Object Contents are not displaying. Any one faced this issue in xml publisher.
This is what I did.
1.Open the XML template. In Word under Insert option Selected Object . Select the object type as Word Pad Object(In Create new Tab). Type somethinng.. I typed this as printer escapecode sequence ~(4B~(s1p53v0s
2.Loaded the XML data and tried to preview in RTF format the Object disappears and nothing displays in the place of Obejct.
When I preview in PDF format this displays. but PDF format is not supported by our troy printer.
This is we are doing to get the signature with printer escape code. It would be great if any one have any alternatives?. They are not going to give the Signature as an image.
