Check Writer (XML) - where to customize?

Hi everyone,
I have to add mailstop to the check writer (xml) process and it looks like it pulls the information from what is archived. Unfortunately, mailstop is in our system, but is not included in the archived data.
I feel as if I'm not the only person who has to add an additional field to their checks, so how have you done this?
At this point I am unable to even find the name of the package that pulls in the data to produce the XML output.
Can anyone out there let me know how their developers have added additional data to use in the check output?
Thank you in advance!

Segments in Check Writer XML data source

Hi,
Can anyone tell me what are the Segments 1-10 in the XML data source that I see for Check Writer (XML) when I use "Third Party Checks". I tried populating few fields in the Entry values for the corresponding element but that didn't work.
We need an additional field to populate some reference number that needs to be printed on the check and we would like to use one of these segments since it eliminates the customization.

How to generate postscript in Check Writer (XML).

I have set the format for Check writer (XML) in the system administrator responsibility to Postscript, still it generates PDF and XML, but not the postscript. Where am I going wrong? Do I need to enable or do additional setups? Appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Hari

Hello,
Just install a Postscript Printer Driver and use :
rwrun.exe report=.. destype=file desname=c:\temp\output.ps desformat=psprinter
if psprinter is the name of the postscript printer you have installed.

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 XML - Check count different between XML and PDF

Hello all, Check writer XML ends in a warning. Hence the user can't see the output. I go to the server and grab both the .XML and the .PDF files. The PDF file as 93 checks but the actual .XML file has 112 checks. Hence the warning. Did anyone experience the same problem? Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks, Naveen G.

Hi,
We just figured it out. From SYS Admin> Profile> System, we increased the values of Concurrent: OPP Process Timeout and Concurrent: OPP Response Timeout from 300 to 900. Now Check Writer XML CompleteS without any warnings. I appreciate your response.
Thank You, Naveen G.

Ckeck Writer(XML), more than 1 check per page

Is it possible to print more than one check per page using check writer (XML)?. Preview looks fine (3 checks per page) but the output of the process that actually prints ( Payroll File Reporter ) keeps sending 1 check per page.
Thanks in advance,
Jose

To do a multiple records per page merge you use only one set of placeholders, in the upper left position. ID will duplicate everything as many times as will fit according to the spacing you set up in the merge options.

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.

Check writer customization

I need help on check writer process,deposit advice concurrent programs. For these concurrent programs the executable is shown as PYUGEN. How do i know the exact executable for these processes. I need to see that a specific earnings element should not appear on the pay checks generated by check writer.
Can you please let me know how can I acheive this.

PYUGEN is pro*C code, and i have never seen before the sources.
Can you ran a sql trace file with binds to verify your assumptions? As such, you will see all sql statements.

Write XML to file - character set problem

I have a package that generates XML from relational data using SQLX. I want to write the resulting XML to the unix file system. I can do this with the following code :
DECLARE
v_xml xmltype;
doc dbms_xmldom.DOMDocument;
BEGIN
v_xml := create_my_xml; -- returns an XMLType value
doc := dbms_xmldom.newDOMDocument(v_xml);
dbms_xmldom.writeToFILE(doc, '/mydirectory/myfile.xml');
END;
This creates the file but characters such å,ä and ö are getting 'corrupted' and the resultant xml is invalid.(I've checked the xml within SQL*Plus and the characters are OK)
I assume the character set of the unix operating system doesn't support these characters. How can I overcome this ?

Hi,
Do you mean that you would like to write output to an external file somewhere on flask disk or perhaps even inside the directory where the MIDlet is located?? To be able to do so you will need manufacturere specific APIs extended on FileConnection (=JSR, don't know the number right now...). The default MIDP I/O libary does not support direct action on a file.
However, such a FileConnection method invocation requires an import statement that is manufacturere specifc...
To keep your MIDlet CLDC MIDP compliant you can try using RMS with which you can write data that will be stored in a 'database' within the 'res' directory inside your MIDlet suite. If you're new to RMS, please check the web for tutorials, etc etc.
Cheers for now,
