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.
Regards
Paul

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.

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,
Hussein

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!

[SOLVED]List of XML Publisher templates

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

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.

XML publisher report not generating output for huge XML files

Changed Depreciation Projections Report output type to XML.
Defined a Data Definition and a new Data Template (RTF) for this report.
Ran the Depreciation Projection Report to generate the XML output.
Ran the XML Report Publisher report to generate teh PDF/Excel output of the above report.
Output generated for smaller XML files. When XML size is big, the program is running for hours without generating the output.
Teh RTF template is basically a matrix report in which the number of columns in the report is based on the number of periods the report is run for.
The same is not working in the Desktop version also. The system is hanging when i try to view the preview pdf.
The XML file size is approximately 33 MB.
Please let me know if there is any way we can increase the memory size to see the output.
Thanks,
Ram.

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.

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,

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?>

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.
