Blank printout in report 6i from Application server oracle 9i

Hello,
3 days before our application server (oracle 9i for windows NT 1.0.2.0.0) hard disk crashed.
We have installed AS.
Now when user runs report from client pc and selects destination type as "cache" and submit query he can see the output. When he changes destination type as "printer" and give printer name (as installed on AS) in destination name and submit query the message "Report output was successfully printed out" comes but on printer only blank page is printed.
This happens for all laser printers installed on AS, but not for line(generic) printer.
On 2nd AS I have same printers as on 1st AS.There printouts are coming properly.
Please tell me what I have missed on while installing new AS.
Thanks

Is outlook installed on the application server?

No Response From Application Server - Oracle 10g

I am Using Oracle 10g Application server.
When running a transaction (query to the DB) sometimes it takes more than the "x" session.timeout minutes seted.
Then 'No Response From Application Server ' error message comes out.
I don`t want to increase the session.timeout minutes because i do want it to work in other issues. The thing is that i don`t want the session to be terminated when waiting for the response from the DB.
How can i overcome this?
Thanks

Thanks for answering...
Sorry, i`m new in this. I`m using j2EE technology.
The thing is that i was trying to do a page that prints a loading... while waiting for the response from the DB, but when it comes the resultset, and i redirect to another servlet to print the results, an illegalStateException came out (the response has already made the commit).
So i was thinking maybe there was a solution for the application to know that the query is being made in the DB(and that the app/session isn`t stopped).
Maybe with another driver? now i`m trying the ojdbc14.jar.
Or maybe in J2EE I can do a page that self reloads every "x" minutes while waiting for the response from the DB as you said and when it comes prints it ?
Thanks a lot

close dataset.
short dump:

Kindly solve my problem.

Hi Saritha,
If I am not wrong u r trying to read the data from the file which is on the apps server rite?
Use open data set with input for reading the file from application server .......... output is to write the file onto the application server
check the below sample code.......
DATA:
len TYPE i,
text(30) type c,
dir(30) TYPE c VALUE '/tmp/test.txt'.
DATA: begin of data OCCURS 0,
matnr type matnr,
werks type werks_d,

when i execute this program:

May i know what is the problem?

If you are sending an email, the receiver type should be U (internet mail address type). From your code it appears that you have input it as 'A'. I am not sure if the error message is related to this. Have you checked in transaction SOST, whether an email has been triggered from your program? At what point of execution is this error message triggered?

Hi Rammohan,
You cannot use OPEN DATASET to transfer data from application server to presentation server.
You can do the following :
Do 1st point in BACKGROUND
1. Read the data file from application server into an internal table using OPEN DATASET
Do 2nd point in Foreground
2. Once you get the data into an internal table, then use FM GUI_DOWNLOAD to download it on presentation server
You cannot use the above 2 point together in Background because its not possible. Hence you need program it partially in background and partially in foreground.
Best regards,
Prashant

Fetching of multiple files from Application Server into SAP Program

Hi All,
I have a issue related Fetching of multiple files from Application Server into SAP Program.
Actual issue is as below.
In the selection screen of my program i will give Application Server Path as :
/PW/DATA/SAP/D1S/PP/DOWN/eppi0720*
Then the based on above input it should pick up all the files that are matching eppi0720* criteria.
Suppose if i am having 5 files with above scenario, i have to fetch all those 5 files at a time and place in my SAP Program.
All those 5 file's data should come into SAP at a time.
Can anybody tell me how can we solve above issue.
If any body has come across same issue please provide me with solution.
Thanks in advance.

Problem with pdf display downloaded from application server

Hi all,
I have a problem with displaying pdf downloaded from application server (saved in BINARY MODE).
I am getting the pdf output of adobe form in FPFORMOUTPUT-PDF as rawstring back to my program and then converting that rawstring into binary form using the function module SCMS_BINARY_TO_STRING.
Now, when I export the data to presentation server directly using cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download, the pdf is downloaded properly.
However, when I save the data to application server file by looping at the internal table obtained from SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY and using TRANSFER, and subsequently downloading the file in "unconverted format" from AL11 to my desktop, I am getting a "blank" pdf file (with the same number of pages as the one downloaded using gui_download).
I have tried different encodings during download but in those cases i get corrupted pdf message. only the default option of INTIAL value seems to work.
I am forced to believe that there is a problem in my code which saves the data to app server but I cant find any solution that is logical. Any solution to this would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Sasi

Hi,
To read a file from an Application Server to an Object there is a command in ABAP called READ DATASET. After that file is transported to that object you have to do a loop and put that data in an Internal Table.
This statement exports data from the file specified in dset into the data object dobj. For dobj, variables with elementary data types and flat structures can be specified. In Unicode programs, dobj must be character-type if the file was opened as a text file.
For dset, a character-type data object is expected - that is, an object that contains the platform-specific name of the file. The content is read from the file starting from the current file pointer. After the data transfer, the file pointer is positioned after the section that was read. Using the MAXIMUM LENGTH addition, the number of characters or bytes to be read from the file can be limited. Using ACTUAL LENGTH, the number of characters or bytes actually used can be determined.
In a Unicode program, the file must be opened with an arbitrary access type; otherwise, an exception that cannot be handled will be triggered.
If the file has not yet been opened in anon-Unicode program, it will be implicitly opened as a binary file for read access using the statement
OPEN DATASET dset FOR INPUT IN BINARY MODE.
. If a non-existing file is accessed, an exception that can be handled can be triggered.
Influence of Access Type
Files can be read independently of the access type. Whether data can be read or not depends solely on the position of the file pointer. If the latter is at the end of the file or after the file, no data can be read and sy-subrc will be set to 4.
Influence of the Storage Type
The import function will take place irrespective of the storage type in which the file was opened with the statement OPEN DATASET.
If the file was opened as a text file or as a legacy text file, the data is normally read from the current position of the file pointer to the next end-of-line marking, and the file pointer is positioned after the end-of-line marking. If the data object dobj is too short for the number of read characters, the superfluous characters and bytes are cut off. If it is longer, it will be filled with blanks to the right.
If the file was opened as a binary file or as a legacy-binary file, as much data is read that fits into the data object dobj. If the data object dobj is longer than the number of exported characters, it is filled with hexadecimal 0 on the right.
If the specified storage type makes conversion necessary, this is executed before the assignment to the data object dobj. Afterwards, the read data is placed, byte by byte, into the data object.
System Fields
sy-subrc Meaning
0 Data was read without reaching end of file.
4 Data was read and the end of the file was reached or there was an attempt to read after the end of the file.

Reading XML File from application server

Hi experts,
My aim is to read a XML file from application server and extract the relevant data from it and process further.
When I am trying to read a XML file from application server it is reading success fully but the problem is that its not reading the last root structure of XML file why is so happening can any body help me?
I am using the following code:
TYPES: BEGIN OF xml_line,
text(256) type x,
END OF xml_line.
DATA: e_file LIKE rlgrap-filename VALUE 'applcatin server path'
OPEN DATASET e_file FOR INPUT IN BINARY MODE.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
DO.
    READ DATASET e_file INTO wa_item1-text.
    IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
      APPEND wa_item1 TO gt_item1 .
      CLEAR wa_item1.
    ELSE.
      EXIT.
    ENDIF.
ENDDO.
ENDIF.
CLOSE DATASET e_file.
after this i am passing this internal table to "cl_ixml" class to extract the data
but it returning the itab with required value except the last record.
The stream reading the file it self is i thought in complete thats why it is not converting the all values.
Please help me...
Thanks a ton in advance.

Hi,
1 Copy Report BCCIIXMLT1
2 (you can change the way of filling internal table xml_table if necessary)
3 you don't need the part between
*-- render the DOM back into an output stream/internal table
and
*-- print the whole DOM tree as a list...
Comment it out or simply delete it
4 Rename form print_node to your liking e.g. process_node
5 In your new form you need three extra variables:
data: attribs type ref to IF_IXML_NAMED_NODE_MAP,
      attrib_node type ref to IF_IXML_NODE,
      attrib_value type string.
6 After the lines:
when if_ixml_node=>co_node_element.
string = pNode->get_name( ).
Insert:
attribs = pNode->get_attributes( ).
clear attrib_value.
case string.
when ''. "put your XML tag name here
    attrib_node = attribs->get_named_item(name = '' ). "put your XML attribute name here
    attrib_value = attrib_node->get_value( ).

i had tryed CG3Z and CG3Y t-code but screen that is coming is asking for the parameters, and i want that screen should not appear and file should be saved in the predefined path by me.
if there any way to do so,
Points will be rewarded as per the Aswers.
thaks in advance.

Can i transfer file from application server to lotus server.

hi
can i transfer file from application server to lotus server.
i m geting file on application server but i want to transefer that file from application server to lotus server.
if yes than give me suggestion.
thanks in advanced.

Hello Laxman
If you want to trigger the file transfer from within SAP then you need to execute an external OS command (transaction SM49, SM69).
At the level of the OS (operating system, e.g. Windows, Linux) you need to be able to transfer files to the Lotus server.
Your task is, for example, to write a report executing the external OS command which will be executed at the OS level where the file transfer happens.
Regards
Uwe
