XML Publisher template, Conditional Header

As part of the report requirement, I am displaying the some header field information as barcoded on my report. The report is working fine and for report with more than 2 pages it is displaying the barcode information on second page as per intial design.
Asa new requirement they want header fields to be barcoded only on the first page and in all additional pages for a record in the report the fields should be displayed normally. Is it feasible?
Please provide your inputs on this.
Thanks!

yes it is possible.
Different First Page and Different Odd and Even Page Support
If your report requires a different header and footer on the first page of your report; or, if your report requires different headers and footers for odd and even pages, you can define this behavior using Microsoft Word's Page Setup dialog.
Select Page Setup from the File menu.
In the Page Setup dialog, select the Layout tab.
In the Headers and footers region of the dialog, select the appropriate check box:
Different odd and even
Different first page
Insert your headers and footers into your template as desired.
At runtime your generated report will exhibit the defined header and footer behavior.

XML Publisher Template Builder for Adobe Acrobat

Need a XML Publisher Template Builder for adobe acrobat as is available for word.

I did so.. however, publisher is not able to substitute xsl syntax by the actual value..
eg.
i had a <?X_PO_NUM?> in word (either using text field or manually writing this..) and i converted the word doc into pdf using third party s/w..
when i uploaded this template pdf with sample data file using xmlp admin repsonsibility, and tried to preview the output,
substitution is not happening..
the requirement here is, to have some input fields in final PDF output for which report-users should be able to type values in.
for which I assume initial template has to be in PDF itself..
any ideas or pointers will be much appreciated..

XML Publisher template. Can't associate to a report

Hi,
I made a report with xml output. With it's output I define an rtf template and associate it to an XML Publisher template.
When I execute this report, I try to choose the template to format the output to excel (in Options button), but lov is empty.
This is not my first XML Publisher template an I never had this problem, but now I don't know what to do. Any idea?
These are the steps I follow:
1- Create a report and setup it on EBS with XML output
2- Launch the report in EBS and obtain and XML file
3- Create an RTF template with MS Word, XML Publisher plug-in and XML file
4- In EBS, XML Publisher Administrator, create a data definition and a template.
5- In System Administration/Requests I try to associate the template to the report in On Site Tab. The template's lov is empty
Thanks to all

Hi,
It is also mentioned in (Note: 276691.1 - XML Publisher and Concurrent Manager Integration). Anyway, the OP has already provided the solution without referring to any document which should be easy for those who may encounter the same issue.
Thanks,

Sushant,
you can try to design the RTF by Regrouping the XML data based on your requirement then you may get proper order.
Please see the Regrouping XML concept in the user guide.

How to do subtemplate Using XML Publisher Template Builder for Word 5.6.2

Is it possible to do subtemplate (similar to subreport in crystal report) using XML Publisher Template Builder for Word 5.6.2?. If yes, can anyone explain how to call or import subtemplate from main template?
Thank you
V.Piraba

Hi V. Piraba,
Here is how it works for me in Microsoft Word 2003. I'm not sure if it will work in Word 5.6.2.
Creating Subtemplates
1) Make sure you fill in the “Territory” field when creating Subtemplates. Otherwise there will be no way to import the Subtemplate into another Template. The Import command requires the Territory field to call it from other Templates. You will get a big Java error if you try to import a Subtemplate that does not have the Terriroty field populated.
Importing Subtemplates
1) Place the following syntax at the beginning of your XML Publisher template to import a subtemplate (in Oracle Applications)
<?import:xdo://XDO.[Template Code Name].English.US?>
Example: <?import:xdo://XDO.WC_SUBTEMPLATE_LOGOS.English.US?>
2) Use the following commands to importing Subtemplates from local/network drives (outside of Oracle Applications):
<?import:file:C:/Temp/WC Subtemplate - Logos.rtf?>
<?import:file:L://Templates/WC Subtemplate - Logos.rtf?>
<?import: file:///C:WorkChemical.xsl?>
You can email me at [email protected] if you have further questions.
Hope this helps!

XML Publisher Template Re-Generator

What does the XML Publisher Template Re-Generator actually do? I'm having an issue where the AP Check layout is fine when I test locally on my pc, but when i run the check in the Oracle app, the check prints on the next page.

Hi,
It's for use when you upgrade your version of XMLP. When you load an rtf template via XMLP Admin it stores your original file and also converts it to XSL-FO. When you upgrade XMLP then the functionality changes and the XSL-FO it generates changes.
The re-generate process rebuilds the XSL-FO for all the templates loaded into the database.
I think I read somewhere that in 5.6.3 this is run as part of the patching process.

[SOLVED]List of XML Publisher templates

hi frs,
i want to know where the list of xml publisher templates are stored.

As I have said before, you have to create a new template definition and assign the seeded data definition to it. Then you need to do the Purchasing setup as defined in the other thread:
Logo on a Standard Purchase Order Stylesheet
PO Output for Communication will automatically use the defined template when the Purchasing setup is completed.
Please also see the white paper mentioned in that thread.

Repeating header in XML publisher template

iam designing a template in XML publisher for the xml file generated by oracle report
i want my header part to repeat on all the pages
like if the data is printed across pages the header portion related to the data should be printed on all the pages
Can any one help me on this???????????

Hi,
I am very new to BI Publisher. We are a peoplesoft shop with SQL server. we do not have Enterprise so just using Peoplesoft delivered stuff. I saw your post that mentions headers. I am designing an invoice that has a header, summary and coupon section on the first page and then the header and the lines on every page after. My header is complex and have a logo, and all header information. All of that information in a table (multiple lines). I do not know what to do to make
1. header appear on all pages.
2. summary only appear on first page.
3. coupon appear on the first page at the bottom and the second page (back of coupon) be blank. the customer is going to teat that portion and send it back with a check. So that is why it has to be blank.
4. My first page information on is so much that it took almost 1 and 1/4 page in the design but it prints on one page though. Where should I start my detail (lines) page 3rd page or 2nd?
I would really appreciate if you reply to this message at your earliest since I am runnning out of time and this must be done at the end of the month. My cell is 678-907-7331.

XML Publisher Template Selection Dynamically

Hi All,
I am new in XML Publisher domain and currently working on a report and I am able to generate EXCEL and PDF output using following steps.
STEPS
1.     Create RDF Report
2.     Register as Executable and Created Concurrent Program WITH XML Output
3.     Create RTF Template for PDF format
4.     Create RTF Template for EXCEL Format
5.     Register Data Definition (Concurrent Program short name is same)
6.     Register Template 1 (Default type PDF and uploaded PDF template file)
7.     Register Template 2 (Default type PDF and uploaded EXCEL template file)
8.     Running the Report using FND Request Submission form
a.     In Options Default is coming as EXCEL (only one template)
b.     Change template to PDF generates PDF output
c.     If added both the template another concurrent Program submitted (XDO) to generate both the outputs.
I have few questions
*1.* When I am submitting concurrent program how this form/concurrent program identifies default TEMPLATE (Excel or PDF)?
*2.* I have one parameter in RDF to determine which layout I have to use (Dynamically)
I found one procedure FND_REQUEST.ADD_LAYOUT to change the template code dynamically but this is not working (I tried this code in Before and After Report Triggers but without any luck)
I don’t want to submit another request (1 default present in OPTIONS tab and one from AFTER Report Trigger)
Using ADD_LAYOUT followed by FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT (XDO one to submit another request)
My interpretation of ADD_LAYOUT procedure is
This procedure set the package global (session) variables which are used by FND_REQUEST to identify template code and run XDO concurrent program to generate the actual output. But, when I submit the changes it picks template details from OPTIONS tab so ideally when I used this procedure OPTION tab values should change as per my selection? How can I change OPTIONS TAB values? Is it possible?
It will be a great help if someone can explain me how can I achieve this result.
Thanks & Regards
Sachin

You have another option which you can consider for this scenario.
Have a single RTF template and attach this to data definition.
Let this RTF conditionally choose the layout based on the input parameter.
i.e.
<?if:param1='PDF'?>
PDF layout
<?end if?>
<?if:param1='EXCEL'?>
EXCEL layout
<?end if?>

XMl Publisher Template - Unable to repeat the outer group

I am working on XML publisher report and as part of that working on template, the Output columns are defined in header group and lines group. I was using for:each to display the items in columns and I was unable to repeat the outer group for each line.
I was using for-each:OUTER_GROUP and i was able to print only the first line of the INNER_GROUP. or for-each:INNER_GROUP and i was able print the lines but unable to print the header items, wondering how can i print outergroup items. (I saw that like '/' used to print outer group columns), Can someone advise me on this.
Thanks!

Use as many '../' as needed to traverse up the path from where you are.
Without seeing your xml structure, it would be difficult to provide the exact path the elements that you are trying to get to.

Need help on XML Publisher Template features

Hi,
We have a requirement to develop an Invoice Register report to display the invoices for a period. Details of each Invoice and Amount needs to be displayed in a single line. At the bottom of each page we have to display running total of the Invoices displayed till that page. At the beginning of each page we have to display the total amount of Invoices displayed in the previous page.
We had developed the report using Reports Builder and registered concurrent program with output type as PDF. We are working in Spanish environment (UTF-8 character set). The report is working properly and producing output as required. But Spanish characters appear as junk character on the report. From Metalink Notes 443778.1 and 338990.1, I understand that PDF output in UTF-8 character set is not supported. We need to use XML Publisher to generate the PDF output.
We have developed .rtf template. It is generating PDF output and Spanish characters appearing properly. But we are not able to get the running total at the bottom of each page or total of previous page amounts at the beginning of each page. In the output from Reports Builder, we could use various page level options (like reset at page level, etc.) to achieve the requirement. But in the template generated using .rtf, I do not have such options.
I am not sure if there are advanced features in .rtf template to achieve the requirement. Could anyone please advise me how I can achieve the requirement? It would be great if you could provide me some reference.
Thanks and Regards,
Nabendu

Hi Nabendu.
BI publisher does have the option of showing a running total in PDF format usign a RTF template. If you look up the advanced rtf samples provided with the BI publisher plugin there is one example to show running totals, with the previous page total at the top.
you can find this located on your PC where the Word Plugin is installed. C:\Program Files (x86)\Oracle\BI Publisher\BI Publisher Desktop\samples\RTF templates
replace C:\ with the drive leeter of the drive where your desktop plugin is installed
Hope this Helps,

'Move order pick slip report' Report not picking XML publisher Template.

Hi,
SUB: i have to create one XML report on .RDF(move order pick slip report).
Submitting procedure move order pick slip report : i have created one Discrete Job and released that Job, then Component pick release for that particular job. then move order number will generates. then automatically fires the 'Move Order Pick Slip' Report.
NOTE: what i meant to say is i am not submitting the report from SRS window. it will fires automatically when Component pick release.
For this i have taken .xml and generated .rtf according to my layout and i have registered with XML publisher also.it is correct . But while running the report i am geting output as XML codes not in template(wht i have .rtf) format.
if i have to see the output in template from. (i have taken in conc program output as XML also) still same problem.
please help me if anybody having solutions.
Thanks
Valli

Hi Valli,
1:The first thing i would suggest that please check the BI Publisher version you are using (on apps/and on template builder also).
2: In any case if your report is not picking up the template and generating the xml output , i suggest you to attach one program "XML Report Publisher" in your SRS.
Oncwe you run your report and its generate the xml output. you have to take the request id & from view ---> submit request--->XML Report Publisher. run this request again.
it will ask for the request id , select the appropriate request id and it will generate the pdf output as per your requirement.
But this is temporary solution , i strongly recommend you to check the updated version of BI Publisher and instaal it on your oracle apps instance. also use the updated version of bi publisher for Layout(Template Builder).
Regards
