Font issue between Reports Designer and Report Output

Hi.
I've succesfully migrated several reports from 6i to 10g (10.1.2.0.2) with and without parameter form. However, I have the following font issue:
- When report is run from Reports Designer, font is kept.
- When report is run from a forms module (through rwserver on the same machine, that is not really from an application server, but using Oracle BC4J or Developer Suite enviroment) the report output is different. In this case a bigger font is displayed and occasional truncation happens for some fields.
The question is: How can i avoid this difference in font behaviour?. Is it font.ali related?. How come this happen on the same machine(Windows XP)? These reports are to be deployed on Linux, where reasonably, and font machine is expected to happen.
Font used: Arial (Occidental) 9

this might be an issue with the printer that is associated also, and the permissions to the printer that you might have..
login to the application server machine and restart the reports server as an admin..try running the reports via the URL..i have a feeling that this issue might be somethiing to do with the permission(s) to the printer from your AS machine

  • Differences in SQL between Report Designer and RDC

    Post Author: GarethThom
    CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
    Using Crystal Reports v10 SP6, we have created a report that can show a retrospective aged analysis of supplier invoices based on a Comparison Date parameter.  The data is in a Microsoft Access database.  In the Record Selection Criteria we have the following criteria:
    {Transactions.TranType} in &#91;"SA", "SO","ST", "SN", "SR"&#93;And {Transactions.InvoiceDate} <= {?ComparisonDate}And ({Transactions.PaymentDate} = CDate(0,0,0) Or {Transactions.PaymentDate} > {?ComparisonDate})
    The idea being that we want all Invoices (of a certain type) dated up to and including the Comparison Date parameter and where either the Invoice has not yet been paid or was paid after the Comparison Date, i.e. the outstanding/unpaid Invoices at that point in time.
    When run within the Report Designer everything works perfectly.  When we view the SQL Query used to bring the data back it says:
    WHERE  (`Transactions`.`TranType`='SA' OR `Transactions`.`TranType`='SN' OR `Transactions`.`TranType`='SO' OR `Transactions`.`TranType`='SR' OR `Transactions`.`TranType`='ST') AND `Transactions`.`InvoiceDate`<#2008-05-07 00:00:00#
    The PaymentDate part of the criteria is obviously evaluated within Crystal once the data has been retrieved from the database.
    However, when run through the RDC using VB6 SP6 the following SQL Query is used:
    WHERE  (`Transactions`.`TranType`='SA' OR `Transactions`.`TranType`='SN' OR `Transactions`.`TranType`='SO' OR `Transactions`.`TranType`='SR' OR `Transactions`.`TranType`='ST') AND `Transactions`.`InvoiceDate`<#2008-05-07 00:00:00# AND ((`Transactions`.`PaymentDate`>=#1899-12-30 00:00:00# AND `Transactions`.`PaymentDate`<#1899-12-30 00:00:00#) OR `Transactions`.`PaymentDate`>=#2008-05-07 00:00:00#)
    Which returns no records.
    The reason we are using CDate(0,0,0) to check for an empty date is that if you have "Convert Database Null Values to Default" ticked it does not seem to handle using IsNull({Transactions.PaymentDate}) in the Record Selection Criteria - no records are returned (in the Report Designer) even though if you copy the SQL Query and run in directly in the database it returns records.  As soon as you untick the flag the correct records are returned.
    So, is there a fix for this problem or does anyone have any alternate ideas as to how this "null/empty date" scenario could be handled?

  • Difference Between Web application design and Report Designer

    Hi,
    I have searched in the forum as well i Google it but still i am not clear the difference between Web application Designer and report Designer , why especially we go for WAD ? and  what is not possible in Report designer which we can do in WAD  Please some one explain me that would be great helpful to me. i am having lot of confusion in this issue.
    thanks,
    Gal

    Hi,
    The Report designer is completely for formating of your query and results. Here you have the flexibility to design your query(one/more) results in your own way.
    The WAD is for displaying various web items at one short for a single/multiple query. And here you have the flexibility to do the XML coding on the web items, but not as much you have the flexibility on Report Designer.
    But, Report designer will have more performance issues than WAD. So, generally it helps when you need extreme formating of your reports.
    Hope this clears your doubt.

    Hope this helps.

  • Differences Between Report Painter and Report Writer

    Hi,
    Anyone knows the differences between report painter and report writer?
    Thanks,
    CW

    Hello CW Teo,
    Yes report writer can be used in logistics also. One of the way which I am aware of is described below.
    Flexible analyses allow you to can tailor the way in which key figures are combined and aggregated. This means that it is possible to both provide administrators with detailed information and management with aggregated information.
    Flexible analyses enable easy access to the Report Writer, a user-friendly tool with which you can create reports for various analyses. The Report Writer is integrated in other SAP applications, such as Extended General Ledger and Cost Center Accounting.
    Evaluation structures form the interface to the Report Writer. Evaluation structures consist of characteristics and key figures and are easy to construct.An evaluation structure with the same name exists for each information structure in the standard system.Even the self-defined information structures created in Customizing can be evaluated via the flexible analyses.
    Evaluations:You can create an evaluation on the basis of the evaluation structure.
    To define an evaluation, all you need to do is select the characteristics and key figures you require (pick-up technique).One of the especially useful features here is that you have the option of tailoring the layout of your report to suit your particular requirements. You can also define extra key figures for the reports, which are derived from existing key figures by means of calculation formulas. You can thereby multiply the key figures or divide one key figure by another.
    ============================================================
    In addition to the above you can also edit a report in logistics module with the help of a report writer. below mentioned is the process for it.
    It is now possible to edit your report data using the Report Writer. You can also change the layout of the report. The most important functions of the layout design are summarized below.
    Summation levels:In the report screen, you can use the menu sequence View ->Summation level to specify the number of summation used to calculate total values. All totals that do not lie within the specified interval will be hidden. A summation level corresponds to a hierarchical level (for example, material level). Summation level 1 is the lowest hierarchical level. Summation level 2 is the next level up, and so on. The individual values are on the summation level 0.
    The summation levels can be specified both universally (for the entire report) or locally (for specific blocks of rows). In this case, the local settings overwrite global values.
    Report views:If a report is displayed on the screen, the Report Writer will then set page breaks so that exactly one page fits into the current window. This view will be defined as the standard view. As the Report Writer always processes exactly one page, you can only use the page keys and page icons to page up and down; the scroll bars cannot be used.
    The page view can be determined via Settings-> Page view. The page breaks in the page view correspond to those defined in the report layout.
    Hide and show rows:The function Edit->Hide rows exclude certain preselected areas of your report from the display. You can undo this command with Edit ® Show rows.
    Expanding and collapsing report rows:View-> Hierarchy->Collapse allows you to hide the report rows of the sub-trees that are located underneath. View->Hierarchy ->Expand allows you to undo this command level by level.
    If you want to display all the report rows that were hidden by collapsing the hierarchy or restricting the summation levels, select, View->Hierarchy-> Expand all.
    View->Collapse all allows you to reduced every row block to the highest summation level.
    Texts and Annotations:You can create an annotation for your report.
    Select: Extras->Annotation.
    You branch into the text editor of the Report Writer.
    Via the menu sequence Settings->Texts, you can create and format a title page, the last page, as well as headers and footers using word processing functions.
    For example, you can store variables in the header for the author of the report, the date of the selection or the name of the person who last changed the report.
    Layout parameters:Using the menu sequence Settings->Layout you can specify the page format, display form, rows and columns of the report according to your needs and you can determine the settings for the graphics function. You can make these layout settings with Report->Save settings.
    Hope I had been able to help you to some extent. please assign points as reward.

  • Score Issues between Captivate 4 and 5

    Hi Everyone,
    We are noticing an issue between Captivate 4 and 5 and we can't seem to figure out what is going on, this issue is with Captivate modules that have no quiz and the completion status is based only on a % of slide views.  We publish as SCORM with complete/incomplete and report percent.
    With these types of modules created in Captivate 4, the LMS would record a completion and a N/A score.  Now, for those created in Captivate 5, the LMS receives a 0% score and the completion.  Our end users are really confused as to why they see a 0%.  Any ideas on what may be causing this?  The LMS is Taleo Learn, formerly Learn.com's LearnCenter.
    Any assitance would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Connor

    If you can't download any old versions by logging into your account then clearly these have been discontinued.  Your best bet is ask somebody to lend you their CD/DVD which you can copy for your safe keeping.
    Old products are always discontinued and that is why you should always buy them on a CD/DVD so that they can installed whenever you have a new system or you have a system crash.
    Good luck.

  • What is the significance of report writer and report painter

    hi all,

    thanxs in advance

    Report Painter allows you to create reports using data from SAP application components, which you can adapt to meet your individual requirements.
    Many of your reporting requirements can already be met by using the standard reports provided by various SAP application components. If these SAP standard reports do not meet your reporting needs, Report Painter enables you to define your specific reports quickly and easily.
    Report Painter fulfills a function similar to Report Writer, but is easier to use. Most of the functions found in Report Writer have been built into Report Painter; however, you do not need to be familiar with all Report Writer concepts (such as Sets) in order to use Report Painter.
    When executing a Report Painter report, it is displayed by the system in Report Writer format. You thus have access to the same functions as for Report Writer reports defined in the same way, and can combine Report Painter and Report Writer reports together in a report group.
    Report Painter uses a graphical report structure, which forms the basis for your report definition and displays the rows and columns as they appear in the final report output.
    To facilitate report definition, you can use many of the standard reporting objects provided by SAP (such as libraries, row/column models, and standard layouts) in your own specific reports. When you define a Report Painter report you can use groups (sets). You can also enter characteristic values directly.
    Advantages of Report Painter include:
    Flexible and simple report definition
    Report definition without using sets
    Direct layout control: The rows and columns are displayed in the report definition as they appear in the final report output, making test runs unnecessary.

    hi santosh,
    Where Is Report Painter/Report Writer Used?
    Initially, both tools were only available to the FI/CO modules. Later, with the introduction of the Logistics Information System and Flexible Analyses in Release 3.x, the functionality of these tools was further expanded. It still is not widely known that the Report Painter/Writer can be used for reporting against structures other than those delivered in FI and CO (see TechTalk on page 8-4).
    A common misconception in the user community is that Report Painter/Report Writer can only be used to report against a single table. However, some reporting structures do report against multiple tables. For example, CCSS (for Cost Center Accounting) refers to tables COSP, COSS and more, depending on the key figure configuration. Similarly, FI-SL (Special Purpose Ledger) reporting structures include summary and line-item tables (the key figure set determines where the data comes from).
    To configure other table joins, views may be created joining the necessary tables, and views can be added to the control tables, via Flexible Analyses in LIS. Report Painter/Report Writer can be used in almost any application area in R/3 to report on currencies and quantities.
    Data tables supported
    Both Report Painter and Report Writer can be used to report on the following tables and tables types:
    < Evaluation structures set up in the Logistics Information System (LIS). These structures normally begin with an “S” or “ZF.” Several different tables and views within the R/3 System can be added as evaluation structures.
    Note: You cannot add cluster tables, such as BSEG.
    < CCSS is used for Cost Center Accounting (CO-CCA), Internal Orders (CO-OPA), Activity Based Costing (CO-ABC) and for cost element reports in Project Systems (PS).
    < GLFUNCT is used for functional area reporting in cost-of-sales accounting.
    < GLPCT and GLPCOP are used for Profit Center Accounting (CO-PCA/EC-PCA).
    < FILC is used for Legal Consolidations (FI-LC).
    < COFIT is used for the Controlling Reconciliation Ledger (CO-CEL).
    < ZZ tables are created for the Special Purpose Ledger (FI-SL).
    < FIMC is used for consolidations in the Enterprise Controlling module (EC-LC).
    < GLT0 is used for Financial Accounting (General Ledger) reports by account, company, and business area (FI-GL).
    < KKBC, KKBE, and KKBU are used for the Controlling Product Costing module (CO-Costing).
    < New in Release 4.0A: RWCOOM is used for CO-CCA, CO-OPA, and CO-ABC. RWCOOM is used for special standard reports like internal order budget reports, cost center budget reports and cost component reports.
    Note: RPPS was used for Project Systems (PS). However, it is obsolete and will no longer be supported in Release 4.0. In Release 3.x there were only two special reports (6P70 and 6P71) using RPPS. These reports cannot be called directly, but via ABAP reports RKOPLAN0 and RKOPLAN1.
    How to Access Report Painter/Report Writer?
    To access the Report Painter you may use either of the following two methods:
    < Transaction FGRP
    < From the SAP main menu, choose Information systems ® Ad hoc reports® Report painter.
    Report Writer functions can be accessed from within the Report Painter. To access Report Writer, choose the following menu path from the SAP main menu:
    Information systems ® Ad hoc reports® Report painter® Report Writer.
    How Is Report Painter/Report Writer Organized?
    Report Painter/Report Writer has four main components:
    < Sets: Sets are logical groupings of characteristic values. For example, a cash line on a balance sheet is made up of a set of cash accounts or an energy product line on an inventory report is made up of a set of energy products. Variables can also be created which are placeholders for sets, or values within sets.
    < Libraries: Libraries control which characteristics and key figures from a table are available for reporting.
    < Reports: Reports hold a definition of the rows, columns, and overall data selection. They also include the header and footer texts and layout settings.
    < Report Groups: Report groups can contain one or more reports. The report group is what you execute—not the actual report. A report group is generated to create a set of ABAP programs that produce the reports.
    How Does Report Painter Differ from Other Reporting Tools?
    < With the exception of row titles which have text fields, Report Painter/Report Writer reports display numerical fields only (for example, dollar and quantity fields). This is not a requirement for ABAP Query and typical line item reporting tools, which can display arbitrary text columns.
    < While printed Report Painter/Report Writer reports appear much the same way on paper as they do on screen, the Drilldown reporting tool produces a different output format. Drilldown reporting is an online analytical tool which can be used to drill down to different levels of detail, but it is infrequently used for printing.
    < Report Painter/Report Writer reports are hierarchical and take advantage of configured hierarchies (for example, with cost center hierarchies). You can also execute Report Painter/Report Writer reports from each level within a hierarchy.
    < Report Painter/Report Writer reports can handle multiple currency/quantity units within a single column.
    < Report Painter/Report Writer is well suited to handle reports that require mass production. For example, Report Painter/Report Writer is a particularly effective tool for creating month-end reports.

  • Report Painter and Report Query

    Hi,
    Can some body explain me the difference between Report painter and report queries. How these are diffrent from ABAP prgram and ABAP queries. Who are the persons who are using all these like functional consultant or ABAPer or End users.
    Regards
    RKG.

    Hi
    Report Painter is mainly used by CO functional consultants for generating reports using variables, Key fugures and sets. This is a SAP standard functionality.
    ABAB Queries / Report queries are created by Abapers and Functional consultants , this is mainly to join two or more tables run a query on the available data in the table and get the reports
    ABAP program are complete program which are the coding language of SAP, where a program can be created for a new functionality which is not available in SAP . However the data required for this program has to available in SAP.

  • Report node and reports repository

    what is the difference between report node and reports repository. I know that Process schedular picks the report from report repository in order to show in process monitor. Does report node and reports repository are same??

    After a report runs to success in runstatusYeah, but the files are send to the report repository even if it is not successful terminated (run status is not sucess). If the files are not sent to the report repository, then the problem doesn't come from the process itself, but from the definition, space availibity...
    When a report has been posted sucessfully (transfered from the process scheduler report repository - on the other hands the log_output dir, to the report repository defined into the report node), the status of the distribution status is Posted.
    The run status and distribution status are independant eachother.

  • Routing issue between Cisco Nexus and Cisco 4510 R+E Chassis

    We have configured Cisco Nexus 7K9 as core and Cisco 4510 R+E as access switches for Server connectivity.
    We are experiencing problem in terms of ARP learning and Ping issues between Cisco Nexus and end hosts.

    Hi,
    So you have N7k acting as L3 with servers connected to 4510?.
    Do you see the MAC associated with failing ARP in 4510?. Is it happening with all or few servers?. Just to verify if it is connectivity issue between N7k and 4510, you can configure an SVI on 4510 and assign address from same raneg (server/core range) and perform a ping.
    This will help narrow down if issue is between server to 4510 or 4510 to N7k.
    Thanks,
