BExBroadcaster automatet BW-reports (as PDF file) to Mobile Phones

we are distributing some BW-reports with BExBroadcaster as generated-file (PDF)
via eMail mail-attachements to mobile devices, such as iPhone, iPad, Android-mobiles
the file name of the mail-attachements are less than 32 character.
on the electronic way from the BW-system via exchange server 2007 via ActiveSync to the mobile the file extension
(.pdf) is lost, e.g. in some Android-mobiles the .pdf file-extension of the mail-attachements are missing
e.g. with android-version 2.2
which component may be responsible for this loss of the file-extension?
BW-System => MS-ExchangeServer 2007 => Active-Sync => Android-Version
any experience?

Hi Christoph,
i have found a solution to our problem!
Reason of the problem is the behavior of Microsoft Exchange Server with the Content-Description Header in Mails. “All versions of Microsoft Exchange Server use the Content-Description MIME property to preserve the icon description through the Internet.”
And it seems like SAP is using this MIME-Header.
To solve the Problem, you can add the following Registry Key on your Exchange Server:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeIs\ParametersSystem\InternetContent\
Value Name: IgnoreContentDescription
Data Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 1

No link after exporting Crystal report as pdf file

Hello,
          If my Crystal Report contain link to the .avi file saved on the local hard disk and if I export the Report as .pdf file, pdf file does not contain that link. Why?
The overall scenario is like-
My application fires a query on SQL Server database and result of that query is stored in a Dataset. This dataset is set as a datasource to the Crystal report. Now some, records (returned by the query) have .avi files(i.e. Event Videos which are stored on the local hard disk) associated with them. I have stored these .avi files in a specific path on local Hard disk say "C:/EventVideos/*.avi" .   I used a special format in these avi files name. (like - "EventVideo_1.avi" (This is for 1st event), "EventVideo_5.avi" (This is for 5th event)etc. to identify which avi is for which event. All events do not have avi files associated with them)
      Now, I take one object in crystal report. Using it's Format editor created a formula for hyperlink as -
      "file:///c:/EventVideos/EventVideo_" + {DataTable1.EventID} + ".avi" .
EventID is the field of dataset which has ID's (like 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 etc) of all resulted events. It is of a String data type.
     Now when I export, my report as .xls, .rtf, .doc, I can open the avi files. When I bring cursor on this object, cursor get change to Hand and after click on it avi file start to play.
     But if I export it as .pdf, it does not contain the link for avi files. When I bring cursor on this object, it does not change to Hand, and after click on it nothing happens. No video play.
I stick to this problem.
Appreciate your help.
Thanks in advance.

Taken from CR Help File:
"PDF format is a page-based format. The exported documents are intended for printing and redistribution. PDF format will export both layout and formatting in a manner that is consistent with how the report looks on the Preview tab. PDF format embeds the TrueType fonts that appear in the document. (Non-TrueType fonts are not supported.) This export format does not support Microsoft font-linking technologyu2014which is used to provide support for some extended character sets such as Chinese HKCS. Therefore, the fonts used in the report must contain all of the required glyphs. These URI types are supported for hyperlinks: "http:", "https:" and "mailto:".
Therefore your hyperlink is not working as u are using File type when cr only supports http https and mailto uri types

Will not print files from mobile phone says it **may have** a virus- and deletes the file

My HP photosmart premium with wireless ePrint, will not print files from mobile phone says it **may have** a virus- and deletes the file?!? My Fiance has the same phone, and I used it. It completed the file??? If I text message and E-mail address, my cell phone will come up as and E-mail address... has anyone else had this issue? Is it because I texted the the file? It didn't seem to be and issue on any of the other mobile phones used.... I am out of answers.... I tried to E-mail as well...
Thanks in advance

I have nearly the same problem, the printer discards my print job even when i have entered my email address as authorised senders.
Details from my other post:
I sent 2 emails to the printer:
- one is a 3 lines of text and numbers in a GIF file sent as an attachment
- another is a jpg circuit diagram paste in a word doc sent as an attachment
both are classified as spam and refused to print. i have no email coming back saying it failed (even i have checked "Email Job Status" in ePrint Settings.
So what will this HP printer print?
How can I switch this useless spam filter off?
I have get this filter off! I need this email printing to work reliably, that is a major reason I bought this printer
Any suggestions are welcomed...
HP's slogan on the box:
"Now you can print from virtually anywhere" (but get discarded every single time!)

The vibrating phone was created in Java. Some british company is selling the program to women for on the go fun. I'm pretty sure the actual code in the program is only a few lines.

Genrating Report as PDF File on the hard disk

Hi All,
I am using Oracle developer 10g, I need when I call the report from the forms to generate the report to a PDF file on the c:\ drive instead of appearing on the screen.
I set the DESFORMAT to PDF, DESTYPE set to FILE and DESNAME set to C:\filename.pdf.
Thanks

Hello,
When using DESTYPE=FILE , the output will be generated on the machine where the Reports Server is running .
If you want to generate the PDF file on the "Client PC" (the PC where the Forms Applet is running), you will have to transfer the PDF from the
"Application Server machine" to the "Client PC"
Webutil can be used to do that : http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/webutil/webutil.htm

How to download a Block List based ALV report to PDF file?

Hi Everyone,
I need to display a report in block list alv format using REUSE_ALV_BLOCK_LIST_DISPLAY... I have done this. But my problem comes next.
1. I need to download this report to a pdf file in the user given directory - in presentation server. How can I download this in PDF format.
2. My report has TOP_OF_LIST and END_OF_LIST events. The body of the report contains a table with some material data. There should be 1 table for each material no. There are around 50 records for each material no. So I am looping at the material no. and calling REUSE_ALV_BLOCK_LIST_APPEND.
Now my problem is that I should have only 20 records in each page. How can I determine this? How do I put a page-break?
Please anyone help me.

Hi Anwesha
You can send the report output to spool using the IS_PRINT parameter of REUSE_ALV_BLOCK_LIST_DISPLAY FM. Then read the spool number generated and pass it to CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF to get the pdf content which could be downloaded to presentation server.
The splitting of records on count could be done by calling above method with different internal table filtered as per your requirement.

Save a report 6i PDF file onto the database server

Hello Experts,
I have a requirement, whereby I need to generate a PDF report and then send that report via Email. The problem I have is my email procedure is looking for the file which is in the directory on the server where the database is stored, While the PDF is generated on the local machine. Im using reports 6i.
I know in reports 10g the file is generated on the report server itself but Im afraid same is not the case with reports 6i.
The other problem is the local machine does not have the access to the directories on the server. I tried to change the directory path in the database to look at the C:\ but it doesn't work, it says invalid directory, I think the PDF report file needs to be on the server where the database is installed. Is there a way I can pick the PDF file from the local machine instead of the server where the database is installed?
Im not too sure what is the way forward, All I need is to generate a PDF file and mail it.
The procedure that I'm using to send the email attachment is :-
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE email_attachment(
xfilename VARCHAR2,
xloc VARCHAR2) IS
conn utl_smtp.connection;
BEGIN
conn := Send_Mail.begin_mail(
sender => '[email protected]',
recipients => '[email protected]',
subject => 'Attachment Test',
mime_type => Send_Mail.MULTIPART_MIME_TYPE);
Send_Mail.attach_text(
conn => conn,
DATA => '<b>This is a test Email.<b>',
mime_type => 'text/html');
send_mail.attach_base64_fromfile(
conn => conn,
filename => xfilename,--'test.pdf',
floc => xloc,--'File directory',
mime_type => 'application/octet',
inline => TRUE);
Send_Mail.end_attachment( conn => conn );
Send_Mail.end_mail( conn => conn );
Thanks any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
in the forms 6i email with attachment can be sent only through database folder/file. From the client it can not be.
Here is one alternate solution.
1. Share the folder from db server which is used for email directory and keep changeable for everyone.
2. After generate the report like RUN_PRODUCT keep the below command.
HOST('XCOPY CLIENT_PATH\FILE_NAME SERVER_PATH');
3. This command will transfer file from client to db server. After this execute your procedure which is sending email.
Hope it will work.

Saving a report generated pdf file on to report server

Hi,
This is a question regarding web access of Oracle Reports.
I am generating a report through web by typing an url like this: http://chfux102.ems.allied.com:8100/cgi/oreports/run?chflims+destype=file+desname=./section1.pdf+report=COA_PF.rdf+desformat=pdf+v_delivery_num=80063329+v_delivery_item_num=10+v_me rge=32386+v_feeder=32386+v_cm_id=1890
I am doing this since I want the report to be saved on the report server as a pdf file(section1.pdf). However this is generating an error.
Is there anything wrong in the parameters I am passing? Please let me know if you have inputs on this.

Unable to display Crystal Reports 2008 PDF output on smart phones

Hi Folks,
I'm not sure if this is the proper forum, but here goes. I am just finishing a large ASP.NET web app which makes extensive use of Crystal Reports 2008 and a CrystalReportViewer control. My users routinely e-mail the reports in PDF format. This works great, except now they tell me that when the recipient of the e-mail tries to open the PDF on an iPhone or Blackberry, it will not open. The PDF's open fine on desktop computers.
Here is the code which generates the PDF and attaches it to the e-mail msg.
// export to PDF, then mail that
SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();
MailAddress from = new MailAddress(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ReportMailFrom"].ToString());
MailMessage message = new MailMessage();
message.From = from;
message.SubjectEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8;
message.Subject = "E-mail BackOffice report: " + strReportName;
MemoryStream memStream = (MemoryStream)rptDoc.ExportToStream(ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat);
Attachment data = new Attachment(memStream, MediaTypeNames.Application.Pdf);
ContentDisposition disposition = data.ContentDisposition;
disposition.CreationDate = DateTime.Now;
disposition.ModificationDate = DateTime.Now;
disposition.FileName = strReportName + ".pdf";
disposition.DispositionType = DispositionTypeNames.Attachment;
message.Attachments.Add(data);
client.Send(message);
Any ideas on what is happening here and how to make these PDF's visible to smart phones?
Thanks.
Dan

Hi Dan,
What happens if you export from Crystal Reports designer?
I just tried if and BlackBerry tells me I am about to download a file that cannot be viewed on the phone. It doesn't say why though.
Going through the Platforms file it doesn't mention smart phones so it would indicate we don't support them in that format.
HTML worked but not pretty. You'll have to see what Blackberry does support. I found this one kbase article from them:
http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB11245&sliceId=SAL_Public&dialogID=206744335&stateId=1%200%20206742756
I'm testing more but I believe this is a blackberry limit and not CR.
Seems they do support it but very limited.
Thank you
Don
