XML Publisher Template Problem

Hi
This is very basic question as I am new to XML/BI Publisher
I am using templates in iRecruitment for Offers. I am facing problems when I am formatting numbers and uploading the templates.
Problem is when I see the offer letter from Application, it generates pdf with following format
120u000n00 whereas number should be 120,000.00
My number format is as follows
$#,##0.00;
I am using Word 2007 and saving the file as rtf document. Uploading the document to R12.0.4

What is your locale?
<?show-page-total:TotalFieldName;'Oracle-number-format'?>
"BI Publisher supports two methods for specifying the number format:
• Microsoft Word's Native number format mask
• Oracle's format-number function
Note: You can also use the native XSL format-number function to
format numbers. See: Native XSL Number Formatting, page 5-126."
"To use the Oracle format mask or the Microsoft format mask, the numbers in your data source must be in a raw format, with no formatting applied (for example: 1000.00). If the number has been formatted for European countries (for example: 1.000,00) the format will not work."
Is more than one format model being applied? That will cause problems too.

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,

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..

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.

Paul

[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.

Problem with a text in the last page of XML Publisher Template

Oracle Applications : 11.5.10.2
Oracle BI Publisher Template Builder for Word 10.1.3.4 Build 129
Hi,
I have a problem with XML Templates, I need that a text (*Este documento no confiere origen, señala únicamente país de manufactura.) is always at the bottom of a table and it has to be in every page, the problem is in the last page where the text is showed twice.
<?start:body?>
LINEA EN
FACTURA
DESCRIPCIÓN
CANTIDAD
NO. DE SERIE
PAIS DE MANUFACTURA*
F LINE_NUMBER
ITEM_DESCRIPTION
CF_PRIMARY_QTY
CF_SERIAL_NUMBER
CF_PAIS_DE_ORIGEN
E
*Este documento no confiere origen, señala únicamente país de manufactura.<?end body?>
*Este documento no confiere origen, señala únicamente país de manufactura.
Is there a way in order not to print the text twice in the last page?.
Regards,
Sergio.

Whatever the problem, it's likely due to how those paragraphs
were formatted in Word. The RH conversion usually only reflects
what was done there.
Are you comfortable inspecting the underlying HTML code (the
RH TrueCode tab)? I think you'd find some type of SPAN tag or STYLE
attribute that is determining an absolute paragraph width.
Otherwise, you could try this experiment:
1. Strip the base Word doc to a moderate size, but which
includes at least one of these non-wrapping paragraphs.
2. Select All and press Ctrl+spacebar (this removes all
formatting from the selected text).
3. Import that Word doc to RH and see how it looks now.
Good luck,
Leon

'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
SRatnesh

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,
Domnic
