DDE commands to process in background

Hi
I am using Forms4.5 and trying to print a letter (with data populated from oracle) using DDE/Word2000 commands.
Is it possible to print the letter without displaying the Word document ?, and to avoid the Microsoft message while closing the document (do you want to save the document).
I tried to use OLE feature, but is not working with Word 2000 (not able to go to bookmark).
thanks

To let office work in background Call DDE in mode 'minimized' -
DDE.App_Begin('C:\excel\excel.exe C:\emp.xls', DDE.APP_MODE_MINIMIZED);
to save the doc You can try use DDE.execute(ConvId,'[save()]',1000);
procedure. in excel it works fine.

Acrobat X Pro does not open, gives fatal error - "Acrobat failed to send a DDE command"

Acrobat X Pro does not open and gives fatal error - "Acrobat failed to send a DDE command"
It either does the above or the application starts and is listed in the system processes but never physically opens on the desktop for viewing.

AA 9 will not work for anything but the print function from WORD 2010. The only version of Acrobat that is compatible with OFFICE 2010 for PDF Maker is AA X. Thus, open WORD and print to the Adobe PDF printer. Then open the pdf in Acrobat. Go to FORMS>Add or Edit fields. Since you have no fields at present, Acrobat will ask if you would like to detect form fields. Answer yes and you will get a first cut at the form fields. Yes, you will likely have to add some more and change the ones that Acrobat estimates, but you are on your way.
The other two options you have is to go back to WORD 2007 or earlier or upgrade to AA X (or find someone with AA X and WORD 2010). These methods are pretty much your options with the software combination that you have.

Fatal Error Acrobat failed to send a DDE command

Hello all. I have a fillable form I developed using word 2010. I am trying to convert it to a PDF form. I open acrobat and select star from wizard from the Forms menu. I browse to find the word document and open it. I save the PDF document and everything looks good. I get a progress bar that says "Please wait, reading Adobe PDF". This is very slow progress and then I get the Fatal Error message "Acrobat Failed to send a DDE command". I click ok and the progress bar continues still very slowly. I get the same message again. I click ok and the progress bar continues. The progress bar gets to the end and just stays there. Nothing happens. I waited for an hour and then cancelled it. When clicked cancel, the PDF document opens with my form but without any fillable fields or drop down menus. I tried to do it again a few times and I get the same error message. I am using Adobe Acrobat 9 pro version 9.4.2. Thank you in advance for your help.

Two transactions, same program, processed in background task problem

Y0 Team ABAP,
i got something here that bugs me.
I have done a report. Nothing special, simple selection screen, selection of data, and output via SALV.
One of my selection screen fields (a parameter) is VKBUR and it is "obligatory".
2 weeks ago i got the requirement to create a copy of this program, and adopt VKBUR as select option.
Since i didnt want changeanomalies i decided not to duplicate the program, but just add a second transaction to my program.
In a routine at event at-selection-screen output, i´m hiding either the parameter or the select option, depending on which tcode was used.
In some routine which gets triggered at the event at-selection-screen i´m moving either what we got in our parameter to our local range we use for the select, or just assign the select option to our local range, or process an error message if according field is not filled. Yeah that obligatory condition is done by myself since i cant just set the obligatory addition to the statement.
This all works quite fine so far.
BUT:
Today i hear that the end-users process that report in background task by pressing F9.
Problem is now that when it is processed in background task, sy-tcode is initial, so i dont know which of the transactions the user picked, and so i dont know which of the two fields has to be filled.
Sure i could do another report, containing just my second selection screen, and when this is checked, do a submit on my real report, tho i still believe there must be some more elegant way.
Any ideas?

Unfortunateley those subtotals cant be handeled by the layout, thats why i manually add them.
But you got me back on track! right now i´m for your solution.
right now i´m having just ONE selection screen with the select option on it.
User can decide if he fills just one value or more.
In the end i loop over my output table and look if there are records of different VKBUR´s.
If there are i know he wants subtotals and process them. If its just data of one VKBUR i can spare myself the hassle as there is anyway just one records per VKBUR so subtotaling this wouldnt make sense.
thanks. Thats what i will present my consultant now lets see if i can get him satisfied with it...

Acrobat X Std. Fails to Open, reporting, "Acrobat failed to send DDE command"

Recommandable Profile Option PO:Workflow Processing MODE (Background/Online

Hi
We are using oracle11i 11.5.10.2 on windows 2000 server
which Value is Recommendable for Profile Option PO:WORK FLOW PROCESSING MODE (BACKGROUND or ONLINE)?
for PO Approval
Thanks
With Regards
A-Z

Hi,
It is advisable to Set "PO:Workflow Processing Mode" profile option to "Background" which is a default value
If you set it as Online, it completes an entire approval workflow process before letting you proceed to the next activity, but provides you with an updated Status (for purchase orders) as soon as it finishes.
When this profile option is set to Background, you must start the Workflow Background Engine, which you access through the System/application Administrator responsibility. It is recommended that you set this process to run frequently (Schedule), if you are using it for Background mode approvals.

How to get program which is been processed in background

Hi Experts,
      While doing PI sheet (CO60) the document gets posted for movement type 101 in MIGO which is processed in background. I need know which standard program is processed to get the document posted in background.
The two function modules are configured for this i.e pi02-COCM_PROCESS_RECORD
pi05 - COCI_CONFIRM_OPERATION. I tried to debugg by setting break point in these two funtion module but it is not getting triggered.
   The reason might be because the process ia automatic or any other. How can i find out how the document is getting posted the break point is not get triggered for any cases .Please suggest.

Hi Harshitha ,
    The FMs pi02-COCM_PROCESS_RECORD and pi05 -COCI_CONFIRM_OPERATION
are called at multiple locations .Might be the place where u hav set the break point the FM is not getting triggered from that location but from the location where u hv not set the break point for the same FM.
    Instead set the break point in the FM definition. or set the debugging swith again where actually the posting is done.
regards,
ajit.

Ways to run dir command in Process and get Output

Hello,
In one of the control in our web application, User can select any directory from his work area and can get list of directories and content of directories i.e. list of files. As working on file object is really slow so the performance is extremely poor. I am thinking of using Process object and run dir command for any directory selected by user and show the directory listing to user.
Do you guys think it would be possible

Its always good to work with IO buffer than low level file api. That should be irrelevant to the question as asked (if not then there might be other problems.)This is no way irrelevant but its a fact. Working with Java File api to traverse the content of the directory is really painful. Because we currently use file api to help user to traverse thru her work area.
BTW, there are two servers. One running the app and the other have all users work areas. User can traverse the workareas content by using something \\server1\workarea1\user1\folder1 etc... in the app to see the content of any folder.A "server" in this context would be an "application" such as something like tomcat. Your client would then ask the "server" for information.
In your case you are dealing with another file system via the windows remote file system access. So per my question it is not another "server".A server is what providing service to a client and in our case its a app server with a web app in it. The users use the web app to manage their work area(which is another file server).
The app server and file server and physically two separate machines.
So again, I am back to my first question, how can run dir command using Process object and get the buffer.
Till now, I have done this
ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder("cmd", "dir", "c:/");
        pb.directory( new File("C:/temp")); // Or whatever directory you want for cwd
        Map<String,String> env = pb.environment();
        env.put("PATH", "C:/temp");
        try {
             Process process = pb.start();
               InputStream inStream = process.getInputStream();
               new AsyncPipe(process.getErrorStream(), System.out).start();
             new AsyncPipe(process.getInputStream(), System.out).start();
             final int returnCode = process.waitFor();
             System.out.println("Return code is " + returnCode);
               System.out.println("\nExit value = " + inStream + "\n");
          } catch (Exception e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
          }However it simply opens command prompt

Oracle EM Grid Control Error: Failed to run command in process

I am trying to change "Backup Settings". After entering the Host Credentials, when I click the OK button, I receive the following error message.
Validation Error
Examine and correct the following errors, then retry the operation:
Error - Connection to host as user <user> failed.ERROR: Failed to run command in process
Any Suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Hi,
If you are using linux/windows the hostname credentials should be the user who has installed the oracle 10g database software, if Windosw the user you are using need to be member of the ora_dba group and have Local Security privilege 'Log on as a batch job'.
What you need to do is go to start----> Programs----> admin tools----> Local security policy --->local policies ---> user rights assignments
In the list to your right, look for 'Log on as a batch job', double click and add the same OS local user you using to access OEM web to the group.
I hope this will solve your problem.

Dialog process vs Background process

Hi,
What is the difference between dialog and background process?
Can a dialog process is used in a process chain?
Does an ABAP program followed by change run be a dialog process or background process in a process chain?
What is the standard maximum runtime duration of a dialog process?
Regards,
Pradeep

Hi,
Dialog Process - Executes dialog programs (ABAP)
Background Process - Executes time-dependent or event-controlled background jobs.
All the Processes in Process Chain will be Scheduled in Background.
and The Maximum workprocess Time will be defined by BASIS Team.
