Got a good one today that had me a little stumped until I RTFM! To be more precise RTFJD - the JD is the javadoc. The data engine we have does not only consume data templates but you can also throw SQL at it and get XML in return. Neat! One of our customers has been struggling with this, they want to be able to pass parameters to the sql at runtime - we support that but they were having pain getting it to work. Our trusty support guys have been nagging me for some help and I...

Im up in Denver, spending the day with the JDE folks so its a quick post today. There are a couple of interesting documents just posted to the BIP home page that you might find useful.The first is a guide on how to migrate from Crystal to BIP, authored by Pradeep and Mike from the PM team - Converting Crystal Reports to BI Publisher Its a manual process but at least shows that it can be done with a little effort. The steps are laid out very nicely and should be easy enough to...

A few weeks back I documented how to build extensions to publisher if you wanted some functionality that we did not support. Frank Menne from HSM consulting in Germany has jumped on it and built a sql extension. the extension allows you to go back to the database from the layout template layer. Its simple but it works, you are able to pass select staement values and fetch data back - if you are an Oracle Reports developer, think of Formula columns.Now a word to wise, we do...

Those of you that use the Shipping module under 11i and want to use publisher to format them, will maybe know that its not as simple as flipping the Oracle Reports to XML, creating and uploading a layout template for the reports in the set and running them. You'll get a nasty surprise - yes, you'll get XML data rather than shiny new PDF output.Dont panic, the Shipping team have apatch out for you to solve this - 5688014 - 'Shipping Document Sets does not generate the report...

A few weeks back I wrote about the barcode encoding solution thats now available for use with XML Publisher for advanced barcode encoding calculations prior to applying the bar code font to the output. I found some time to take a look at some of the 2D barcodes and their requirements for encoding and rendering. Once you have the encoding class set up in your environment its pretty simple to add the 2D barcode encoding code.XML Publisher does not yet license fonts for ......
