Author: scott clinton

Hello,

We have Oracle Applications and are gradually replacing the custom reports we have in our system with Oracle's new BI Publisher reports. BI Publisher uses XSL-FO style sheets to format the report output. We have purchased the entire Stylus Studio Suite to assist us in the conversion of these enterprise critical reports.

However, when we take the standard BI Publisher output files and load them into Stylus Studio and attempt to navigate to the tree we are experiences errors such as: "Parsing error in file:///<filename>: Invalid character in attribute value select (Unicode: 0x1) (line 22, column 147)."

<sample attached>

I have reviewed these errors and while they contain non-standard characters they seem to be simple text symbols such as the small square in wingdings and I have no idea what Oracle Apps uses these for on the "other end".

We just need to be able to edit our style sheet files asap please.

Any assistance in using SS for BI Publisher would be much appreciated.

Scott

0x01 is indeed not a valid character in a well formed XML document (http://www.w3.org/TR/xml/#charsets); the XML document you have attached is indeed not well formed because of those characters.

I don't know if it's a problem in the way the document was exported or encoded; but before you can do anything with that XML document, like using XML tools or processors, you'll need to make it well formed.

Well, I have gotten around this by doing a universal replace, edit in SS and then replace them back before loading up into Oracle Applications. Again, I am not sure what Oracle does with these characters but they work in Oracle Applications.

However, I am having more difficulties when I try to preview my template in SS. There are many calls to Oracle Functions that are unreconized.

For example:

<xsl:value-of select="xdoxslt:sysdate(&quot;M/d/yyyy HH:mm&quot;,2)" xdofo:field-name="xdoxslt:sysdate(&quot;M/d/yyyy HH:mm&quot;, 2)"/>

I realize these are Oracle functions. Is there anyway to get SS to recognize/see these?

Your only option would seem to use the Oracle XSLT processor, assuming that it's somehow accessible from an external tool like Stylus Studio; if it is, then you could configure it as an external processor (which basically requires the possibility to run the processor as a command line) and execute the XSLT through it
