Check writer for HR PAYROLL

Can any one clarify that check writer and check writer(xml) concurrent programs that are used for payroll check printing are same? if not when should we use check writer and when should we use check writer(XML)? (why i am asking these because concurrent program short name which is the code for data definition and template are not same,but the data definition name( Check Writer XML) is same for template(Check Writer for US))
To Enable check writer(XML) i gone through some setups in oracle support should that be performed to use check writer(XML) instead of check writer? and finally to customize my check template where can i get the XML DATA ? Any replies will be appreciated thanks in advance.

There are several documents on Metalink that provide the steps necessary for using CheckWriter(XML). Basically, the CheckWriter and the CheckWriter(XML) programs are the same however the XML program runs through the Oracle provided data definitiion and xml template to produce the PDF output.
When you run the Check Writer (XML) program you will find two programs in the Concurrent Request window. The PDF output from the template will generate from the 1st program and the XML data that is used to generate is found in the 2nd program. You can copy the seeded Oracle XML check template and rework it to fit your organizations requirements.

MICR font not displayed in PDF on SUSE Linux Server for Check Writer (XML)

We are generating checks by running the Check Writer(XML) concurrent request and are not able to see MICR fonts on the Check. We downloaded the free version from IDAutomationSMICR.ttf and the fonts were registered under /usr/local/fonts/micr directory. I registered in APPS and uploaded the file IDAutomationSMICR.ttf. Am I missing any steps. The DBA's have registered the fonts under /usr/local/fonts/micr on SUSE Linux Server . The custom Checks are generated but no luck with the fonts. Please advise. Can I download MICR fonts other than IDAutomation site? Appreciate your response.
Thanks,
Hari

I use version 11i, so the steps are probably different. Download a font file (gnuMICR for me). Extract it to a location of your choice on your operating system.
Follow these steps to load the MICR font to the server. (Step 11 was missing in some of the metalink documents in late 2007. I think Jan. 2008 will be OK).
1.     Log in as XML Publisher Administrator.
2.     Navigate to Administration->Font Files->Create Font File.
3.     Fields are Font Name and File. For Font Name choose any descriptive name. File will browse your PC to locate the font file.
4.     Navigate to Font Mappings->Create Font Mapping Set.
5.     Mapping name is the name you will give to a set of fonts. [MICR Font]
6.     Mapping code is the internal name you will give to this set. [MICR]
7.     Type: 'PDF Form' for PDF templates. 'FO to PDF' for all other template types.
8.     Create Font Mapping (this allows you to add multiple fonts to a set).
9.     Font Family is the exact same name you see in Word under Fonts. If you don't use the same name the font will not be picked up at runtime. [GnuMICR]
10.     Style and weight must also match how you use the font in Windows. Normal and Normal are good defaults. [Normal, Normal]
11.     DO NOT enter Language or Territory
12.     Choose a value for Font Type. [Truetype]
13.     Search for the Font you just created in step 3. [GnuMICR]
14.     Navigate to Configuration -> FO Processing -> Font Mapping Set. Can also be done at data def and template level under Edit Configuration. Hierarchy is Site-> Data Def -> Template.
15.     Select your new mapping set.
16.     Make sure the font is not referenced under File->Properties->Custom in the RTF template file.
17.     Select a temporary directory on your concurrent processing node (Configuration -> General). This needs to be a private area not shared by other processes, read writeable by the applmgr (owner of the $APPL_TOP file system). It should be fairly large 5 GB or 20x larger than any datafile being used. The fonts will be downloaded here the first time they are used.
18.     Also at this site level select your font mapping set.
19.     Upload a template that uses your special font and test using preview.

Check writer process (PAYROLL) really slow

Hi All
Does anyone have any tips on speeding up the check writer process. I have already used and applied the CBO document for HRMS. I am looking for more tips to speed up the check writer process. It now takes 11 hrs to process 50,000 employee checks.
Thanks
Eddie Lufker

You just need to change the output type of the concerned concurrent program to XML.

Check writer XML not working.

We are using the oracle provided Check writer XML program for HR Payroll check printing. Check writer XML program is getting error ed out when we attach MICR font set up to the Check writer XML Template in template definition, works fine if we remove the MICR font set up for the template. And MICR font set up is working fine for other custom programs we developed. Any suggestions?

Ya i gone through the docs in the thread. the program works fine when we remove the MICR font setup for the template.

Check Writer

Hi all,
I am trying to run full payroll for a single employee. I made an assignment set and ran PAYROLL PROCESS, PRE-PAYMENTS, PAYROLL ARCHIVE(everything went well). Now when I run CHECK WRITER and give the assignment set as one of the parameter, it doesn't pick up the assignment and CHECK WRITER finishes without processing any assignment but if I dont give any assignment set, then it processes the assignment that I want to be processed but also other assignments that I dont want to be processed.
Anyone knows why this is happening?
QUICK help would be appreciated.
Thanks
OB

Its look like your assignment set may not have setup correctly. Do create a new assignment set , use amendments and Include this person in the assignment set.
Remember to Generate and Save the changes. If you can verify, please check at table level number of members for the assignment set.
Retry the check writer process with new assignment set.

Check Writer is failed with HR_6990_HRPROC_CHQ_SRW2_FAILED

Failed with

APP-PAY-06990: Report Writer report failed with an error
Cause: The report failed to complete and returned an error condition.

I don't see anything in $PAY_TOP/APPLOUT, it is all empty files. all of the worker processes completed except one worker process failed.
i would like to restart the check writer. do i need to rollback the "check writer" alone before i restart the "Check Writer" ?

Check Writer(XML)

Hi Guys,
            Need your quick help. Most of you are aware of Check Writer(XML) seeded report. I could get the data for all the Business Groups dynamically.
But the Logo and the Address of the BG remain same for any sorts of parameters. The Logo and the address are defaulted as Oracle.
Could you lemme knw how shd the logo and the address of the BG be changed?
            Any i/p is highly appreciated.
            Thanks in advance.

Hi Swat,
You need to create your own Custom template.
Just cope the seeded one and change the logo to whatever you want.

After upgrading to the latest version of itune, I get this message when trying to open itunes: "The I'tunes Library File is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have permission to write for this file.

After importing the latest version of itune, I now get this message: "The I-tunes library file is locked, on a locked disk , or you do not have permission to write for this file. How do I resolve this?

check if you have read & write permissions for your music folder. in the finder, right-click on it and get info. unlock the little padlock (you may have to enter your admin password) and change the permission settings if necessary. next, click on the little gear-shaped icon and apply to enclosed items like so
the important part is to apply to enclosed items !
also, even if it seems unrelated, try the steps in this support article: iTunes: Missing folder or incorrect permissions may prevent authorization
