Bi Publisher Excel preview won't preview the right version

Question

Hi everyone,

During my development on BI Publisher for Excel I ran into a problem,

I made a first version of the template without any problems, i could preview the result just right. But since a while, when i use the preview button : I only get the old preview version, not the preview of the actual file I just modified.

Where things get odd is that even with an all new, blank xls template I get to preview the template I did few days ago(one thing tho, its only the template, if i take different data, i get the output that goes with the data).

When I send by mail my template and the xml data to a co-worker, he can preview it just right.

Thanks for your help !

Answer 1

Try deleting tmp.xls to fix this issue.

Answer 2

I figured out the problem : BiPublisher for desktop was stuck into using an old template into a tmp folder.

• The solution i found so far is to get to "C:\Users*Username*\AppData\Local\Oracle\BIPublisher\TemplateBuilderforExcel\tmp\tmp" and then delete "tmp.xls"

I don't know for how long it will fix the issue, but at least it can fix it one preview at a time.

Have a good day.
