Image data in data template

Hi,
I'm using XMLP on EBS 11i.10.2
I need to print file attachment on rtf template (output: pdf). Data source is XMLP/BIP data template.
When I'm doing in my data template
<sqlStatement name="Q_GIF">
<![CDATA[SELECT file_data,
                                       file_content_type
                            FROM fnd_lobs
                 WHERE file_id = 163829]]>
</sqlStatement>
The XML output result is:
<G_GIF>
<GIF_FILE_DATA />
<GIF_FILE_CONTENT_DATA>image/gif</GIF_FILE_CONTENT_DATA>
</G_GIF>
How can I bring the gif data into the data template?
Thanks,
Karmit

Hi mankuji,
Have you tried the suggestion from stackoverflow?
Personally I thought this behavior related with virtualization, as another workaround you can try with ListBox instead of LongListSelector.

XMLP Desktop 5.6.2 vs BI Publisher template builder for word?

Hi,
Is anybody know what's the difference betweent these two product?
When i installed XMLP desktop 5.6.2 i could see option for SQL and Report wizard under Data tab. But in BI publisher template builder i can see only XML data and XML schema under Data tab.
i need to create template in word base on SQL. please help me.
Thanks,
Jay

In your code try replacing this:
<Graph pieDepth="30" pieTilt="20" seriesEffect="SE_AUTO_GRADIENT" graphType="PIE_MULTI"><LegendText>
<GraphFont size="14" bold="false" italic="false" underline="false"/>
</LegendText>
<PieLabel>
<GraphFont size="14" bold="false" italic="false" underline="false"/>
</PieLabel>
<LegendArea position="LAP_BOTTOM" visible="true" />
<SeriesItems>
<Series id="0" color="#BED73D"/>
<Series id="1" color="#003976"/>
<Series id="2" color="#5ABED3"/>
</SeriesItems>
<SliceLabel><ViewFormat decimalDigit="1" decimalDigitUsed="true" decimalSeparatorUsed="true" /></SliceLabel><LegendArea visible="true" />
With this:
<Graph depthAngle="50" depthRadius="0" pieDepth="30" pieTilt="20" seriesEffect="SE_AUTO_GRADIENT" graphType="PIE_MULTI">
<ImageSize width="800" height="800"/>
<LegendArea visible="true" position="LAP_BOTTOM"/>
<LegendText>
<GraphFont size="14" bold="false" italic="false" underline="false"/>
</LegendText>
<PieLabel>
<GraphFont size="14" bold="false" italic="false" underline="false"/>
</PieLabel>
<SeriesItems>
<Series id="0" color="#bed73d"/>
<Series id="1" color="#3976"/>
<Series id="2" color="#5abed3"/>
</SeriesItems>
<SliceLabel>
<ViewFormat decimalDigit="1" decimalSeparatorUsed="true" decimalDigitUsed="true"/>
</SliceLabel>
And test again. It is working in my case

Error Loading XML Data into Template Builder

Hi,
I am using XMLP 5.6.2 with E-business Suite. I copied a seeded Oracle Apps report and changed the output from Text to XML. I executed the report and it generated XML Output. I saved the output file as an XML file using IE.
When I try to load the XML Data file in MS Word, I am getting:
'Error No :-1072896682: Invalid at the top level of the document.
Line No : 1
Position : 1
File Pos: 0
Source: Authentication failed
I never had this problem before using the older version of XMLP (I think it was 5.0).
Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?
Thanks,
Steve

Try using "view source" within IE to get the XML in a text file (Notepad) and save it from there. Then it should load fine. When you save it directly from the browser window there is extra formatting that prevents it from being loaded in template builder.

Template Builder error(unable to load data)

Hi All.
When I try to load xml data into my document the template builder throws up the follwoing error
The macro cannot be found or has been disabled because of you macro security settings
This message can appear if:
The macro was deleted from the template.
The template was not loaded or referenced in the Templates and Add-ins command.
The macro was turned off by the macro security settings of your system.
If the macro security settings are not allowing the macro to run, you should confirm the origin of the macro to be sure it can be trusted (contact the developer or the source for the macro). You can temporarily lower your macro security level to Medium, close the file, and then re-open it and enable each of the macros that you want to run. If you do change your macro security settings, be sure to raise them again after you accept the macro or trust the template the macro is stored in (usually requires copying the template to the same folder as other trusted templates).
If the macro is not accessible because the template is not loaded, click Tools | Templates and Add-ins and browse to the template and click either Attach or Add. If the macro is not in the template, you may need to copy the macro from one template to another. Click the Organizer button at the bottom of the Templates and Add-ins dialog to start the Organizer utility.
More information about this error message online. The macro setting in my document was set to medium.
Tool-->>macro-->>security under security level tab it is medium.
I followed all the steps mentioned in Tim's blog..but it didn't help any..
http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/2009/04/template_builder_woes_1.html
Under tools-->>templates and addins---->>TemplateBuilder.dot was checked already
MS word ver 2003

Thanks in adance..

Never mind..!
Re-installed Microsoft Office and everything is back and working fine.

Unable to see columns of Data Model in Template Builder for Word.

Experts,
My customer has defined Data Model,
and when Ct is trying to insert fields into their documents,
the columns in the Data Model can't been seen in Template Builder for Word.
(in tool bar; Oracle BI Publisher > Insert > Field)
The details is as follow;
(Data Model)
Name : TEST
Type : SQL Query
SQL Query : select case_id,case_name from TEST where case_id = :p_case_id and serious_flag = 'Y';
'p_case_id' is taken from LOV.
(sample data in TEST table)
CASE_ID CASE_NAME SERIOUS_FLAG
1 case1
2 case2 N
3 case3 Y
In this case, CASE_ID and CASE_NAME can't be seen in Template Builder.
But we can see the columns when the sample data is as follow;
CASE_ID CASE_NAME SERIOUS_FLAG
1 case1 Y <-(*)
2 case2 N
3 case3 Y
I mean, the data of the first row (in this case, case_id=1) is hit by the SQL query,
we can see the columns in Template Builder.
I'd like to know whether it is an intended behavior.
Regards.

Hi,
I reformed the sample data in TEST table.
In this case,the columns in the Data Model can't been seen in Template Builder for Word.
CASE_ID CASE_NAME SERIOUS_FLAG
1　　　　　case1
2　　　　　case2　　　　　N
3　　　　　case3　　　　　Y
But we can see the columns when the sample data is as follow;
CASE_ID CASE_NAME SERIOUS_FLAG
1　　　　　case1　　　　　Y　　　　　<=(*)
2　　　　　case2　　　　　N
3　　　　　case3　　　　　Y
In fact, when the data of the first row (in this case, case_id=1) is hit by the SQL query,
we can see the columns in Template Builder.
Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Need xmlp template builder plugin

hey,
just starting out using XMLP. I work with reports in the Oracle APPS environment and want to start creating report templates in Word. understand that i need xmlp template builder plugin to start to build templates. Do I need to download the whole XMLP product or is there somewhere where i can just download plugin.

Look for the Oracle XML Publisher Desktop patch. Patch 4561835 if for version 5.5; patch 5027437 is for 5.6.2. It containes just the template builder and viewer.
The complete XMLP product download will also have the latest version.

Pass request id as parameter to XMLP data template?

I want to be able to use the request_id of the concurrent job in the sql of a data template.
I have tried adding a parameter:
<parameter name="P_CONC_REQUEST_ID" dataType = "number" defaultValue="0" />
so I can then do:
<sqlStatement name="Q1" dataSourceRef=""><![CDATA[select 'Hello '||:XX_NAME||' '||to_char(:P_CONC_REQUEST_ID) WELCOME from dual]]></sqlStatement> for example.
In reports6i this parameter gets populated automatically at runtime. Do I have to do anything extra to get this to work with XDODTEXE?
thanks for your help
Graham

Hi Dave,
Thanks for your suggestion, that worked a treat.
cheers

Oracle Report as data source in XMLP data template?

I use XML Publisher 5.6.3 in EBS 11.5.10
Is it possible to make an xml data template with an oracle report (rdf) as one of the sources of data? (I'm not saying create a Data Def with no Data Template attached... rather point the Data Template to an rdf, or it's xml output.)
I converted RAXINV.rdf (Invoice) to a data template and layout template. I had to replicate the data template portion of the oracle report and add our own fields to the queries because we have custom fields we want on the invoice report. I didn't want to modify the original rdf.
I am wondering if I could have avoided converting the entire data template portion of the rdf. My thought is that if I could make a data template that combines A) the xml output of the original rdf, together with B) our custom sql, I could eliminate the "rdf-to-data template" conversion step. This would have been a significant time savings, because making the converted data template actually work was no small task.
Any and all thoughts are welcome.

You need the source-data as XML for BIP.
You can use
1. RDF to generate xml.
2. datatemplate to generate xml.
The ultimate aim is to get xml out of it, so consider both are same.
If you are comfortable in using RDF, then go ahead and use that.

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..

Create XML using Data Templates

Is anyone familiar will a tool, other than oracle that will create XML from data template definitions.
I trying to understand if the data template definitions are an Oracle specific tool that only Oracle can use to generate XML files.
If this is specific to Oracle, is there an easier way to use the data templates to generate XML without registering them in the concurrent manager, XMLP Admin, and then executing the concurrent process?
I'm looking for a shortcut to testing these files without having to register everything.

Why not using XML Publisher Standalone aka Enterprise 5.6.2 ?
There you can generate the XML based on data templates without registering anything. The installation is quite easy.

How to design a template without Template Builder in Word 2007?

How can i design a template in Word 2007 without Template Builder, since i am using Vista that does not support BI Publisher Desktop.
Is it possible to desgin a template in Open Office ?

Yes. It is possible. But the template would not look as clean.
For your xml data, use direct tags in your template. like for field that appears in xmlp as <DATA>Value</DATA>, enter this in template - <?DATA?>. Also, for other tags, like for-each etc, u can write them directly, you can not preview it as such, but u may directly copy it to server and run there. It Will work.

How to change output directory in Template Builder

Hi,
I'm using XML Publisher 5.5. standalone. When I use the Preview-Function in Template Builder to generate RTF output with MS Word, I want to change the directory in which the generated Files are located. How can I do this?
Mirko

The temp files are in:
\XML Publisher Desktop\Template Builder for Word\tmp
I'm not sure why you need to change the preview directory.
You can also use the system-temp-dir property to change the temp folder for run-time (there should be more info on this in the XMLP User's Guide)
\XML Publisher Desktop\Template Builder for Word\config\xdo example.cfg

Dynamic image does not work in the template builder plug-in (Apex-BI Intgr)

Hi all, I posted this problem in the BI Publisher topic but nobody responded maybe this is because mods thought this is an Apex-BI integration issue.
If I'm in the wrong place, please do warn me.
The documentation says:
Direct Insertion
Insert the jpg, gif, or png image directly in your template.
...This works obviously
URL Reference
1. Insert a dummy image in your template.
2. In Microsoft Word's Format Picture dialog box select the Web tab. Enter the following syntax in the Alternative text region to reference the image URL:
url:{'http://image location'}
For example, enter: url:{'http://www.oracle.com/images/ora_log.gif'}
...This works too when I hardcode an url as url:{'http://www.google.com.tr/images/firefox/mobiledownload.png'}
Element Reference from XML File
1. Insert a dummy image in your template.
2. In Microsoft Word's Format Picture dialog box select the Web tab. Enter the following syntax in the Alternative text region to reference the image URL:
url:{IMAGE_LOCATION}
where IMAGE_LOCATION is an element from your XML file that holds the full URL to the image.
...This, however, does not work.
I use Apex' report query tool and My query is like
select 'http://www.google.com.tr/images/firefox/mobiledownload.png' IMAGE_LOCATION from ... (a single result set for my template)
the xml data is generated with an IMAGE_LOCATION tag. I load it to word template plug-in. The Url successfully displays in the report if I make it a plain-simple field.
But when it's in the image format->web->alt text as url:{IMAGE_LOCATION} no image displayed.
I need to keep this design procedure simple so a simple word user could design a report via using just template builder plug-in. I don't wish to explore the xsl-fo area...yet.
Could you tell me why I can't get this url:{IMAGE_LOCATION} to work?
Regards
PS: My BI version: 10.1.3.4.1

Hi Oeren,
your steps seem basically to be correct. I have a tutorial how to do this here (in german)
http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/de/community/apex/tipps/pdf-dyn-images/index.html
when you see the URL corrently as long as you have it as a plain text field, the XML tag and the
referencing seem to be OK.
Here are two thought - the issue might be one of these ...
How did you insert the dummy image into the word document - did you do it via "insert" or
via "link to file". "Link to File" does not work - you must choose the simple "insert".
Another one: Does your BI Server have a connection to the internet - is the proxy server correctly set ..?
Does this help ..?
Regards

Hi,
I see that your data is having this format
<LIST_G_REQ>
<G_REQ>
<BUYER_ID>DENIECE</BUYER_ID>
<BUYER_GROUP>1</BUYER_GROUP>
<BUYER_SUBGROUP>ADMIN</BUYER_SUBGROUP>
<REQ_TOT>1</REQ_TOT>
</G_REQ>
</LIST_G_REQ>
So to group by BUYER_SUBGROUP, your code will be
<?for-each-group:G_REC;BUYER_SUBGROUP?>
<?end for-each?>
I dont know what you mean by BUYER_GROUP_TOTAL and BUYER_SUBGROUP_TOTAL here.
