Note: something is wrong with the doc pages at the time of posting. For the 3 docs above, if you see them dated January 2009 they are still the old 10.1.3.4.0 versions. The 10.1.3.4.1 versions are dated April 2009. I am working with the doc team to get this resolved.

Hi,

I am having a problem with BI Publisher in Weblogic. :(

I created some reports using subtemplates in an external file as described by Tim Dexter in http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/2006/04/more_subtemplates.html and they work just fine when I run them in OC4J in several customers.

In a particular customer I need to deploy the reports into a Weblogic 10.3
I have successfuly deploied the BI Publisher into Weblogic and all demo reports are working ok.
My reports crash unless I remove the subtemplates.:(

The Weblogic is working as a service in a Windows 2k3 SP2 and I had to add log4j-1.2.8.jar and ojpse.jar to the classpath.

What am I missing?

Thanks in advance

Hi again,
I realized I missed providing some information.
I am using BI Publisher 10.1.3.4.1 in a Weblogic 10.3
If I ask for a CSV or a XML Data file I works without any problem.
If I ask for any kind of formated report (PDF, HTML, Excel, RTF, PowerPoint, MHTML) I get errors like this one taken from Weblogic log file:


[062309_113443141][oracle.apps.xdo.common.xml.XSLTWrapper][ERROR] XSL error:

: XML-22002: (Fatal Error) Error while processing include XSL file (rtf2xsl://file_///C:\Oracle\BIPub\xmlp\XMLP\Reports\SisVendas\headers\PTHeadersTemplate.rtf?sid=1&eaf=3).

...

the XML-22??? errors also appear in OC4J but all reports run ok.
I have an instruction and
with 2 or 3 parameters depending on the report and with 1 parameter.

If necessary, I can provide one of my reports

Thanks in advance
Paulo Domingues

sorry...
I forgot to replace < and >

I have an instruction <?import:file:///C:\bea\XMLPServer...?> and <?call@inlines:Header?>
with 2 or 3 parameters depending on the report and <?call@inlines:Footer?> with 1 parameter

"Error while trying to access Report Server Location. Illegal characters in path. Report Server Location: sstsvr"

Please guide me in this situtation.

Thanks & Regards,

Prakash -- I am guessing that you did a manual installation and deployment of BI Publisher. Did you follow the steps in ... Configuring the BI Publisher Repository ...? and edit .../WEB-INF/xmlp-server-config.xml to point to the repository?
