    I had same problem
    I made a mistake in VA that insted of destination system i used java system SID for the connection FP_ICF_DATA_<SID>.
    now i changed the connection to ABAP system in VA . FP_ICF_DATA_<SID>.
    Example : lets say your java system is TTS and your ABAP system is TTR
    initiall i configured FP_ICF_DATA_TTS in my java system by using VA but this is wrong.
    then i changed to FP_ICF_DATA_TTR  with client information and user information. and this is worked for me.
    i made sure the ADS users are working on both the systems and these users are created as service users insted system users.
    now my ADS services are working fine

  • Recent firedfox update immedately cause break in connection between computer and printer

    about 2 weeks ago Firefox offered an update. I clicked to start this. right after the printer failed to respond to the computer and a message said: check cables (done) restart computer(done) check firewall - I don't know how to do this. I have a McAfee contract.
    Could this update have caused the problem? was this update offer legitimate or a virus?

    here is the same problem
    i cant switch between vc7,8,9...only between 1 and 7.
    when i switch to vc8 or 9 only comes nothing but a blank black screen.
    there is no problem on vc1 to vc6, login screen works there.
    gdmflexiserver command doesnt works, same blank black screen.
    but when X is not in work all virtual consoles works without problem.
    ive searched everywhere for this problem but nothing works.people have recommend same things; gdmflexiserver etc.
    i think it is a problem with X server,  maybe a bug of this version.Mine is xorg-server 1.5.3-4.
    Any?

  • I am having problems connecting my imac to a Kodak printer wirelessly. This was previously working fine. The printer states it is connected to the home network but the connection between computer and printer has been lost/ cannot find printer.

    In addition, I contacted kodak support and they wished to take control of my computer in order to rectify the problem. I did not allow this as I was worried about security . Can anyone tell me whether once you allow someone to take control of your computer, then it is a security risk. What protection does my imac provide ? Thanks. 

    I think you can do it on a one time basis, & not allow after that.

  • User Defined Field Print Layout Designer print problem

    I am having a problem with a user defined field in the Business Partner - Addresses table. The user defined field is a "directions" text field that is intended to print on packing slips generated from the sales order. When I use the PLD to add the UDF in the header or in the table, all data lines in the body of the report repeat.
    Please advise if others are seeing this and what work around or SAP plans exist to resolve.

  • Print Layout Designer Preview

    Hi experts,
    We have a report using the Print Layout Designer, before printing it we view it first.  When we preview the report, amounts can't be seen fully however, when we pint it, it's complete.  Why is this so?  Hope you could give me response in soonest.
    Thanks,
    Kathy

    Hi Kathy,
    If your print results do not match your printer preview, it always links issue with different printer driver.  It is OK as long as your printing results are good.  If I were you, I would only care about the actual printing results.  That is because, you may have different printers to use.  All of them may have slightly different results.
    Thanks,

  • Print Layout Designer - inconsistent output

    Hi,
    We have received consistent compaint from our client that the output of Print Layout Designer are inconsistent.
    Eg: The same PLD template is used for An invoice print out from 2 different workstation.  However, workstation A display the format properly, workstation B will have missing lines between boxes or the alignment is not displayed properly.
    We have also recently encountered the problem that our client export the invoice to Acrobat and then print it.  However, it displays properly for workstation with  Acrobat version 8, 9, but missing lines for version 7.
    Another scenario could be the form is displayed properly on the screen, but the physical print out to a printer is not consistent. 
    We really appreciate some share of thoughts here.  Is switching to other report writer, eg: Crystal Report, the only option?
    Edited by: Shwu Hua Gan on Aug 10, 2008 2:57 AM

    Gordon,
    Thanks for replying.
    This is what happen to our client.
    The font size of the customised PLD SAP Invoice is size 5.  In order to preview the layout, they have to preview in PDF, once they are happy with the details and then print.
    In some workstations, there are Adobe Reader version 8 or 9.  In a couple of workstations, there are Adobe Acrobat version 9.
    Let's say, there are 2 fields with the following properties:
    Field A, Left = 0, Width = 10.
    Field B, Left = 10, Width = 10.
    Adobe Acrobat version 9 display the border of the field properly.  However, those with Adobe Reader 8 / 9 will see gaps between fields.
    If we change them as follows the field the gap;
    Field A, Left = 0, Width = 10.
    Field B, Left = 9, Width = 11,
    Then those with Adobe Acrobat version 9 is missing the border for because Field A overlaps with Field B.  But Adobe Reader 8/9 will print fine.  It also works fine if user click 'Print Preview' as normal and then click 'Print'
    Does anyone knows whether this inconsistencies is caused by
    - printer drivers; or
    - Adobe; or
    - SAP Business One.

  • Crystal Report print layout error during print preview

    Hi Everyone,
    When I try print preview a marketing document, it will work the first time, and then when I try to print preview again it brings up a window asking me to login into the database with the sa username and password.
    When putting in the correct password, the login fails.
    When I click cancel, SAP hangs up and requires a restart.
    All print layouts were done in Crystal Reports, and imported via the report layout manager.
    This occurs on all marketing documents where there is a crystal print layout.
    Anyone will be able to help me with this?
    Thanks

    Hi Rahul,
    Your solution worked. Thank you very much.
    I also did not include a stored procedure into the connection that was needed in the layout.
    This could have also added to the problem (for future reference).

  • Print Layout Designer or Crystal.....! What to do?

    Dear All,
    We need to link our User forms to Print layouts in order to make our reports work exactly the way SAP reports work. Is there a way to enable the print and print preview toolbar buttons and make them show our Report Layout? So far the response from SDK Forum is not encouraging and many questions regarding the same issue remain unanswered there.
    After looking for the solution in the SDK Forums we came across these two replies from Mr. Nick He and Mr.Frank Moebius. Both are of the opinion that currently SAP does not offer a support for this feature and better use a third party tool. We are not in a position right now to opt for any third party tool but if we get a clear response from your side regarding this matter, we can go for it. Kindly have a look at the following links:
    Re: Print Layout  Design for user form in SapBusinessOne2005A(6.80.317) sp:01.?
    Re: Add PLD Layouts in 2005 through sdk
    The recommended solution within SAP B1 to develop Add-on reports is through User Queries and creating a Print Layout and run them via Query Manager Window. This approach in our view has the following drawbacks that make it less friendly with the end user:
    1. Add-on forms appear in the left pane/menu, whereas reports would have to run through Query Manager only, which is in fact a small toolbar button on the top right side. We can add the Query Manager link to user menu but it doesn’t solve the problem.
    2. A user with full authorization over the Print Layout can accidentally overwrite it by clicking the Create Report Button, whereas in case of SAP Reports the Layouts remain unchanged and only saved as a new Layout and set as Default Layout for a report. Add-on Reports cannot do this.
    3. Different behavior of Layouts in Query Manager on Single Click and Double Click. In the Query Manager, if a user just selects a query by a Single Click and views a Print Preview (Layout) then the custom user Layout appears. But if a user Double clicks a query then the Query Window appears, exposing the query and making it editable. Also the Preview(Layout) is different in this case. The user can either view the Window or Table Layout in this case. Hence this exercise would make the user confused and prone to errors.
    4. The Parameter/Criteria window that is SAP generated is not enough to fulfill user friendly interface requirements. Is there a way to add List boxes or Combos to that form. The parameter selection Checkboxes also behave in a strange way that even the experts find difficult to manipulate. If they are of no use, what’s the point in having them on the form in the first place.
    All these points are leading us to confusion over the decision as to whether go for Query Based Reports or use Third Party tools. Kindly help us out in this regard. Your response would help us save some valuable time for our Add-on Development.

    <<< If there is a solution then it has to be from SDK. We can only opt for third party components and frameworks only if any of the SAP representatives ensure us that the current version of SDK does not offer such support.>>>
    The answer to that is to lodge your query as an Issue to SAP directly as a support question or go through your local SAP representative. If the functionality is not offered by SAP you can do a Development Request ( DRQ) and SAP will develop it if they think it will become userful.
    <<<If this Forum is not meant to be answered by SAP representatives then kindly tell me any other Technical Support Portal from where i can get the answer directly. >>>
    This forum is accessed mostly by SAP Business One Developers on SDK. However we are fortunate that some SAP employees who are very knowledgeble take some time off to answer queries.
    Since it is a Forum, no one is obliged to answer. As indicated above , Try SAP directly if you need a definite answer.
    <<<>>>
    Since you mentioned Crystal: We as SAP Business One SDK developers, have come across similar issues and opted for a Inhouse developed Crystal Solution. It has been so popular we are selling it as a Generic add-on to B1.

  • How to use query print layout design

    i have a sql query and i want to see its result on report with the help of print layout design.

    In addition to Tuvia's answer, here is the printing procedure of query PLD:
    Printing User-Defined Queries
    Use
    After you have linked a user-defined query to a user report template, you can print it according to its linked print layout.
    Procedure
    To print a user-defined query, use one of the following two procedures:
    Using the Query Print Layout window:
    1. Choose Tools u2192 Queries u2192 Query Print Layout.
    2. Choose the Reports tab page and select the query you would like to print.
    3. Choose File u2192 Print.

  • Print Layout Designer \Custom Reports

    Hello All,
    Is there a way to set a custom report as default in the Print Layout Designer for A/R Invoice in SAP B1 ?
    Thank you and Best wishes and Happiness in the New Year 2009.
    Ben

    Hello All,
    Thank you for your answer but I would like to be more exact in my question  because I already know how to set a  Print Layout as default in a screen of SAP B1 like A/R Invoice by the way that Parlati has mentioned :
    1. Open a blank AR Invoice (e.g. service or item type)
    2. Click on Menu >> Tools >> Print Layout Designer... or pen icon on toolbar
    3. With The Document Type selected - choose template and click on Set as Default
    But I usually use the Query Manager Tool of SAP B1 to create new queries and reports and I use the Print Layout Designer to setup the layout of these reports. These reports are printed normally via the print preview Icon of the toolbar. But now I would like to know how can I set one of these Reports as default in A/R Invoice screen of SAP. Because it's a one of my customized Invoices.
    Is there a way to do this?
    Thank you.
    Ben.

  • Add a new table to an existing Print Layout Designer report

    Is it possible to add a new table to an existing Print Layout Designer report? For example, in the Production Order there is a Sales Order field (which is displayed on the report), I would like to display some information from UDFs found on the Sales Order, but when I add a Database Field to the report the Sales Order tables does not appear in the list (OWOR).

    Hi
    It is possible provided there is a relationship which exists between two tables.
    You can add a Database field. Goto the Properties and selct Content Tab.
    Now in the Table dropdown, hold the Alt Key and click. This displays all the tables in B1. After selecting the Table, you can select the related Column.
    Remember there should be a relationship which exists between this column and existing columns.
    Because PLD works completely on Joins to my understanding

  • Difference between execution mode of Print preview and Print for Output

    Hello,
    Can anybody tell the difference between execution mode of print preview and print for an output (For eg. PO output or Invoice)?. I am trying to download some documents linked to Purchase order to desktop. The code is written in the same driver program for printing PO and it is executed after smartform function module is called. It works fine in print preview mode and it fails in print mode. The reason why download fails in print mode is that GUI not available (just found from debugging).
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    HI
    try using any other printer and find out if you are getting the correct output. The printer needs to support Multiple Unicode encoding schemes like UTF 8, UTF 16BE, and UTF 16LE, plus special characters and logos, bi-directional text layout, and custom characters..
