FORMS 6i and printing on client

Hi,
I've got some FORMS 6i ( in ORACLE APPLICATION 11i environment ).
How to send a stream to the local printer where the form runs ?
How to do the same thing in network printer ?
Does Webutil exist in FORMS 6i ?
Thanks a lot.
Romeo

Well, I suppose you could install the Forms 6i client runtime software on a File Server rather than on each client. But I believe there are also some registry settings that the runtime requires, so I am not sure how you would achieve that.
And then there is also the Web Forms version that was initially released with Forms 6i. You could install the app server software and run the web forms version of Forms 6i. But if you do that, you might as well be running Forms 10g, which has no runtime on the client (except for the java jinitiator or jre software).

How to deploy Forms, Reports and Menu from Client to Server machine

Dear Experts,
I have one requirement to deploy the Forms, Reports and Menu from client machine to server machine.
Deployment involves the following steps :
1. Firstly we have to search the selected file in a folder where the .fmx is present ( in Server machine) and take the back up of the the existing file in the server (Source and destination paths will be available).
Ex. If the existing FMB name is TEST.fmx then the backup file should be TEST_sysdate.fmx.
2. Secondly we have to transfer the file from the client folder (or from another folder of the same server) to the server folder where the back up exists.
Please help me to search/rename/copy/replace the _.fmx/.rdf/.rep/.mmx_ files from client to server.
We are using
9i Database.
10g Forms and reports.
SQL Developer tool.
OS is Windows (Client and Server).
Help me out to attach a file of front end screen which we are planning to develop. It will give a clear picture on this requirement.
Thanks :)

Welcome to the forum. Please take a while to go through the FAQ to be found to the top right of the page.
Your issue is more to do with batch files rather than Forms. The only relation with Forms, as I see it, is that you will be using HOST/CLIENT_HOST to start a batch file with the file name to be deployed as a parameter passed to it.
You need to rewrite either a CMD batch file or a Powershell script to achieve what have set out to do.
For CMD batch files look up http://www.robvanderwoude.com/battech.php , or any of the other excellent resources available on the internet.

Forms 9i and printing.

Good day.
Just a quick question. We have an application using Oracle9i Forms and Reports. All clients access the application through a browser (obviously). How does one go about printing information in the application. (Without printing a screen dump).
If we use the old 6i Runtime method, we get the following error:
FRM-41842: Run_Product(REPORTS) is no longer supported, use Run_Report_Object instead.
Please help. I have one day (today) to get the printing working.
Thank you kindly.
William

William,
I think the error message is clear, you have to use RUN_REPORT_OBJECT() and the Reports Server. The printers need to be network printers and accessible for the Reports Server. You submit a Reports in Forms with destype printer and desname the network printer name. Haven't checked if the Reports Server needs to run under the an account that has networ access privileges, but i think so.
For how to use RUN_REPORT_OBJECT check

How to find output type givenSapscript form name and print program name

Hi Experts,
Can anyone tell me how to find the output type of a sapscript form if the print program name and sapscript form name is
known.

Hi,
There are two ways:
1. Use table TNAPR .. Here is table give PGNAM as your print program name and FONAM as form name.. Now the field KSCHL will be the output type assigned to your script.
2. You can also check the NACE t-code.. In that select a application(Corresponds to your area) -> click on Output types tab -> Here you get list of output type.. You need click on Processing Routine folder to get all other info..

View History of Print Jobs alongside w/ corresponding Form Name and Printer

Hi guys,
Just a small question. I have to do a particualr investigtion of a particular Job Order(Service). One of them includes checking the print history of its corresponding form name(sapscript), and printer device used for it.
Is there a SAP table or TCode where this can be accessed?
Thanks again and good day.

Hi,
SP01 transaction gives the details about printer and the spool. If you are able to recollect the scripts name by checking the spool output then this transaction will help you.
In SP01 transaction, there are two tabs - Output request and spool request. Check both.
The data of spool output and printer is stored in table from TSP01 till TSP09. But i dont think you would get the script or form name. You can only get the spool output from which you should determine the script/smartform used.
Best regards,
Prashant

Rachana,
Can you describe your network architecture again? How many NICs do you have
on the Tarantella server? What's the name(s) and IP address(es)? How many
NICs do you have on your W2K server? Name(s) and IP address(es)?

I assume that when you say eth1 is \"static IP\", you meant this oneconnects
to the internet.
What you need to do are:
- change the external DNS name in Tarantella to use the hostname of
your
eth1 interface
- install the enhancement module on your W2K server
- enable Client Drive Mapping in array manager
All users will access the Tarantella server using the hostname of eth1
Hope this helps.

Fill data into a form programmatically and print the form afterwards

Folks,
until recently a lab assistant took measurements and filled the data into a paper form (see attached pdf). Now we are building a test stand that does the measurement semiautomatically. The software of the test stand will be programmed in LabVIEW, of course. The test stand shall generate a printed protocol very similar to the attached pdf in future as well.
What's the best way to fill the acquired data into the form and to print the form afterwards? The form can be read by our code in either pdf or html. There is no Microsoft Office installed on the computer.
Modifying the html code? Converting the pdf to a picture and fill the data into the picture? Any hint will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Peter

Hmmm... must have misunderstood what you were saying.
XSL is a language that allows you to generate an HTML document. The XSL basically defines the style, and the XML specifies the data. HTML is the combination. You can find out more here.
Unfortunately, since you don't have Office, you won't be able to use the ActiveX interface to control Word, so that's out.
With the template in HTML format you could use the DOM for an HTML file to set the value of the HTML elements. The easiest way to do this is to use IE (I'm assuming you're on Windows here) to open the HTML template and then you can use the DOM from there. As for how feasible this is, it would depend on your HTML format. Can you post the template in HTML format?
With the template in PDF format I know that some PDF files that are forms can be generated in such a way that they still act like forms when you open them in, say, Acrobat Reader. Acrobat has an ActiveX interface so you should be able to programmatically do this, but I can't say for sure. You can check the Adobe site for more info. You just need to make sure it doesn't require the full version of Acrobat.

What do I need to fill out and print a PDF form?

I need to type on this form save and print it, how do I do that?

Hi nette7,
To fill in, save, and print your form, you can use the free Adobe Reader. You can download the free Reader from here: PDF reader, PDF viewer | Adobe Reader XI.
Of course, if you have a full version of Acrobat, you can use that as well. But Reader will definitely give you the tools you need to get the job done.
Best,
Sara

Can i save my form and print it

Can I save my form and print it

Hi,
You will not be able to save the FormsCentral online HTML form locally and print. If you have Acrobat XI, you could create a PDF form via FormsCentral (Download as PDF) locally and open it via Adobe Acrobat/Reader and print it. If you are using the online FormsCentral app, then you need a paid subscription to be able to create the PDF form.
Hope this helps,
Thanks,

Answer : No,there should be print program for each smart form.
NACE Will give only SD,MM module form name and print progrms.
2) How Can I know that my_z_form_1 created in Which SAP version?
Answer : Currently SAP Does not support version management for SAP Script.
             and Smartforms.You just compare with Production system
3) How it wuld appear the icon of TABLE node in 4.6? Is it "Lines with in Square box"?
Use Main window -> Create - > Table
and proceed further...

Doubt with Windows and Oracle Forms 10G and 11g

Hi
I have some doubts in installing Oracle Client on Windows.
a)Can we install Oracle Forms 10g and Reports 10g client on Windows 7?
b)Can we install Oracle Forms 11g and Reports 11g client on Windows XP?
c)If we have an Oracle Forms 11g and Reports 11g, can it connect to a 10g Server?
d)If we have an Oracle Forms 10g and Reports 10g Client, can it connect to an 11g Server?
Please, Can any one help me in this????

a)yes it can be installed on win7, may have some issues on 64bit systems but they're solvable
b)11g had some problems with windows 2000, but didn't see mention of any problems on XP
c)if you mean a database server then yes - i managed to connect 11g to an 8i database, so v10 should not be a problem. If you mean a forms/reports server..well newer forms/reports builder might not want to run old forms/reports and vice versa, but I don't see the point of operating on the same files from different versions. You can still load old form/report source files with a newer builder and recompile them to run on the new server.
d) the "client" is effectively your web browser with a java plugin, unless I misunderstood your question. What version was a form/report compiled with should not be an issue.

Generate and Print Preview Multiple Forms in a Single PDF

There have been other questions similar to this but none directly address my problem. We have the need to generate multple forms in a .pdf using Adobe interactive forms. We can generate the multiple forms, but the user has to click on each form to view. They want to have the forms in a single document that they can scroll through before printing. We can do this in SmartForms but need to do it in Adobe. Does anyone know how to generate multiple forms, either multiple copies of the same form or various forms, from an ABAP program into a single pdf that can be print previewed, in scrollable form, by the user?

I can describe it one more time, I think:))
You have multiple options, but only one "reasonable" within SAP.
You can call an external application (through command line etc.) to concatenate forms for you.
You can use iText as mentioned in the thread, and write yourself a "tool" which will concatenate the forms for you.
Both these "options" would not be acceptable for my clients, I name them to help you get the whole picture.
Then there is the third option: use a form for a single instance (template/ form A) and create a new form (form B), where you will use the A template:
- you need to: create a new interface where everything from the old interface is a row of the table (example: you have a form to print out the personal card of the employee, so in a new form you will need to use a table, where a row is an employee)
- you need to create a new form layout based on the new interface:
in this new layout you will paste the whole layout of the old form (A/ single instance) and wrap it into a subform. The added subform will work as a table (you will bind that to the table from interface) and everything from the old template within this new subform will work as a "row" (something what you can repeat for each data item).
Does that sound reasonable?
Cheers Otto

Preview and Print Form before submitting

I have created a form. The client would like the person who
just filled it out to be able to preview and print it prior to
submitting or even after submitting. Would this be part of the form
mail script? Does anyone know the PHP scripting code?
Thanks!

Form page submits to a preview page that parses the form
variables from the
POST array, places them on the page, AND loads hidden form
fields with the
corresponding data. The client may print this page using FILE
| Print. To
accept the data shown there, the client would click on an OK
button that
submits the form's hidden fields to the PHP processing
script.
To make this happen you would have to know how to a) parse
the data from the
$_POST array on the confirmation page and display it on the
page, and b)
load the hidden fields for ultimate submit to the PHP
processing script.
