Discoverer Plus Business Intelligence Print Format Problems

I am having a problem with setting the print settings to landscape. Under page setup before printing i set the Orientation to Landscape. The worksheet is printed in a landscape format, but the margins only go halfway across the page (under print preview the report fits on one page). It seems as if the program is taking the potrait orientation and just printing an image of the potrait printout in landscape. Does anyone know what the problem is? Thanks!

Hi
Discoverer Viewer is licensed the same as Discoverer Plus. If you have 1 Plus user and 20 Viewer users you need to be licensed for 21 users.
You can either buy named users or you can buy an unlimited license. The cutover point is 25 users becauses the last time I looked I believe the per user price was $800 and the perpetual was $20,000 per CPU.
The minimum purchase for named users is 5 so are you absolutely certain that 1 license you have isn't a perpetual license or even perhaps a Discoverer Admin license?
You should discuss this with your Oracle sales rep who may well be able to get you a better price.

Hi
When using a Dot Matrix printer you should follow the steps from the SAP Note 724904 that helps you with the paper size.
The Dot Matrix printer you are using is not supported so you may getting it working now, but may stop working in future patches or version as the application is not ready to work with this printer.
Those are the support printers

Discoverer 10g Business Intelligence Portal Update

Hi,
We have a Oracle Application Server portal used for Business Intelligence that automatically updates every morning. Sometimes some of the sheets in the portal fail to update and are done manually later in the day. Usually the owner of the portal do this manual refresh. Is there any way we could delegate this task to other user who can do this?

Anybody with the solution/suggestion?

Sapscript Standard Text Printing - Format Problem

Heros,
I wanted to print one standard text(Basic Text of Process order) in sapscript.I am using the INCLUDE command instead of Read_text FM , so that I can keep the Paragraphs of that text intact.But I am falling short of two requirements of my client.
1. He has highlighted Some words of the text and underlined some of the text. He wants that character format intact in spascript.How can I do that?
2. The script initaly was using Read_Text and was storing the value in a variable wa_line and was printing in script as
[LI ] DESCRIPTION: &wa_line&
so it was printing like
DESCRIPTION: fasfoihfaishfiahfiafhfihfahfiashfiahfahfiafiasfihahfisahfafasi
But now I am using INCLUDE command as follows
[LI] DESCRIPTION:
[: /] INCLUDE OBJECT BLAH BLAH
So it is printing like
DESCRIPTION:
fasfoihf
aishfiahfiafhfihfa
hfiashfiahfa
hfiafiasfihahfisahfafasi
I want to get them in same line.
I mean
DESCRIPTION: fasfoihf
aishfiahfiafhfihfa
hfiashfiahfa
hfiafiasfihahfisahfafasi
Is that possible?
Reward Point Guranteed.

Hi Anid,
When you are creating your standard text the default value in the tag column is *. If you change this value to = (Extended line) the display of standard text will start in the same line as the previous value (in your case it will display the standard text in the same line as DESCRIPTION:).
Hope this solves your problem!

Print Formatting Problem On Specific Printers

When printing an ABAP list in LOCL mode, on certain printers the grayscale backgrounds of fields print as slashes ////// and others print as crosshatched.
For example, on a Canon 2200 printer,
this code prints as crosshatched background behind the text:
      WRITE: / 'INSTALLATION:',
      15 GSTR_REP-ANLAGE COLOR 6 INVERSE ON.
This code prints as slashes in background, behind the text:
      FORMAT COLOR 5.
      WRITE 'Write some text'.
      FORMAT COLOR OFF.
On an HP 8150 printer, the same report prints a grayscale background for the color 5 example, and a plain background for the color 6 example. It does not matter which output device is chosen, the output is the same.
Any ideas on how to resolve this, so the report prints the same way on all printers?
Thanks

It really all depends on the printer drivers being used for each model of printer. I would say that if you want all the printers to print the same, buy all they printer model. I know that this is not realistic, but I think that you are stuck with what ya got. I don't know if changing the print device attributes at the OS level of SAP will help or not.

Printing format problem from Linux GUI

Hi!
We have configured Printer for Linux Clients with "U" access method and users are able to take print out through Linux GUI. However, the printout is not in desired format. For example, PO printout has rows, columns, lines, borders, etc. which are printed correctly through Windows Printer. But when we take printout from Linux, lines, borders, logos, etc. are not printed, and only raw printout is fired.
I believe some ABAP development has to be done. Can anybody help in this regard please.
Regards,
Pankaj

hi pranav,
ABAP-ers usually create those program (smartforms or ALV list) using SAPGUI for Windows so if you switch print them using SAPGUI for Java it's going to be different either print out nor print preview.
I used different technique so that my Linux client can print program (that had been created using SAPGUI for Windows) without changing any code on the program.

Print format problem in report

I have a tabular reports with several repeating frames.For each record of the outer repeating frame, I have multiple records in the inner repeating frame. My problem is if the inner repeating frame cannot fit within a page , it does not overflow to the next page but the record is truncated. I have a summary column in the outer frame based on the inner frame values. Sometimes I see this summarised results but no record is display from the inner repeating frame. I hope someone can visualise this and come up with a solution. I had wanted to paste the layout on the blog but to no avail. Thanks for your help.

while defining filed catalog define the data type also
clear l_fieldcat.
l_fieldcat-fieldname = 'MEINS'.
l_fieldcat-datatype = 'UNIT'.
l_fieldcat-no_out = ' '.
l_fieldcat-do_sum = 'X'.
l_fieldcat-seltext_l = 'UOM'.
append l_fieldcat to p_fieldtab.
may be it would help.

Discoverer Plus - Problem with Page Orientation when printing pdf's

Hi,
When printing pdf's in Disco Plus I have a problem:
My workbooks are a mixture of landscape and portrait pages.
I am printing the entire workbook and then using cutepdf to produce a pdf.
If I print to paper I get the correct landscape/portrait settings.
If I print to pdf then landscape pages appear vertically when I view on screen so that the text is running from bottom to top of the page.
So it is picking up th portrait/landscape settings from the individual worksheets but cutepdf has not realised that the pages are landscape so they appear on the screen vertically.
This was not a problem on discoverer desktop so I am confident that this is not a problem with cutepdf.
Any thoughts?
Justin

Discoverer Plus not wrapping column headers on print

OracleBI Discoverer 10g (10.1.2.3)
Oracle Business Intelligence Discoverer Plus 10g (10.1.2.55.26)
I'm having issues with a new workbok I created and can't quite figure out how to fix it. I have columns with the Format Heading\Wrap words in cell set on. The columns wrap fine and display as expected in the Discoverer Plus workbook window, but they don't wrap on printing to pdf or a physical printer. They display in the upper left of the column and run to the right until they get cut-off by the next column on the right.
For instance:
Preprocessing
Lead Time
shows as
Preprocessing Lea|<next column>
-Tracy

Well, I hate to say it, but you may have run across a bug in your version of Discoverer Plus. I am on 10.1.2.54.25 and the word wrap works just fine when printing a worksheet out of Discoverer Plus in that version. I even retested it just now just to verify, and it printed just fine, and the way you would want it to print. So my suggestion is that you log a service request for this issue with support and see what they say. Good luck.

Discoverer Plus : Printing title issue

Hi,
Page title doesn't print all the time. Sometimes it's printed and sometimes it's not without changing anything in the report!

Are you talking about printing out of Discoverer Plus? I am thinking you are, because you did not mention Discoverer Viewer nor Discoverer Desktop versions. I have noticed the same thing happening myself. Have not bothered to report this to support, since most of the time the workbooks will be executed in Discoverer Viewer, where the printing seems to be okay. You may want to check your print setup to make sure you have specified to print the heading, and if you want on every page or just on the first page, just in case you have not considered this possibility. Hope this helps a bit.

Discoverer Plus Scheduling Problem

Here is my Configuration:
OracleBI Discoverer 10g (10.1.2.3)
Oracle Business Intelligence Discoverer Plus 10g (10.1.2.55.26)
Discoverer Model - 10.1.2.55.26

First of all, Disco scheduling in Plus works fine in our production instance. In our test instance, I have a user whom wants to schedule workbooks from time to time where a new folder is being tested. My problem is that when I am on step two of the schedule wizard and I select immediate (or manually place a time in that is very soon (e.g. 5 minutes from now)), the workbook took hours yesterday to show as “scheduled” in the “Managed Scheduled Workbooks” tool.
Today it works fine and runs immediately. I created a very simple workbook titled, "scheduling test", which has one column, a calculation which is set to sysdate. I began testing this yesterday.
Does any thoughts on what is causing this trouble?
I did the following:
1. I notice that a package is created in the scheduling schema for the workbook scheduled.
2. I tried to query for scheduled jobs created by dbms_job (queried Dba_Jobs using the system account and could not find the job...either yesterday or today).
3. I tried to query v$sql with the intent of seeing when the package, batch_rep_secure.submit_job,is executed...but could not find the scheduled records.
4. I tried gleaning information from the "Manage Scheduled Workbooks" tool associated with the Disco Administrator, and the time column was null (yesterday).
5. I had our dba check the init<sid>.ora file and confirmed that the job_queue_processes have been set to 10.
To rectify this yesterday, I just manually executed the package, EUL5_BATCH_PACKAGE10061409140713, and shortly thereafter, the scheduled workbook would have a new table associated with it which was consumable through Disco Plus.
My hunch is that our job queue was backed-up significantly yesterday and this was delaying the scheduling and running of scheduled workbooks.
Does any one have any thoughts about what the root cause was here and how I could confirm this?
Thanks,
Patrick

Hi Patrick
That would be my hunch too. You could also check the database privileges granted tp each user. Here's what I use:
accept username prompt'Enter Username: '
accept pword prompt'Enter Password: '
create user &username identified by &password;
grant connect, resource to &&username;
grant analyze any to &&username;
grant create procedure, create sequence to &&username;
grant create session, create table, create view to &&username;
grant execute any procedure to &&username;
grant global query rewrite to &&username;
grant select any table, unlimited tablespace to &&username;
grant execute on sys.dbms_job to &&username;
grant select on sys.v_$parameter to &&username;

Export to EXCEL 4m Discoverer Plus/Viewer doesnt retain Header Formatting ?

Hi,
I am trying to export reports from Discoverer Plus and Viewer to XCEL
but the Header's Formatting like Bold and Background Color etc are
not being exported as seen in Plus.
Could you please advice on how to make this happen.
Thanks,
VJ

i tried this option..but the problem is as follows
Excel Export:+ The header comes like this

i.e the export to HTML is retaining the format but it is putting the heading into multiple cells..there by making it look bad when opened in Excel.
Wheras in EXCEL export it doesnot retain formatting like Bold,etc it merges all the cells of teh first row and is putting it there which is much better to view.
Is there anything we can do about it ??
Thanks

Log into Discoverer Plus, cancel through the Create Workbook page and then choose Tools/Options, EUL tab and ensure that you are connecting to the correct EUL.
Also, in Disco Admin, ensure you have granted the Disco Plus logon account access to the Business area.

Business Intelligence - Discoverer Viewer

Hi,
If we have 1 license for Business Intelligence Standard Edition, and we have one user who will use Discoverer Plus and 20 users who will use Discoverer Viewer, do we need to get more licenses for the Viewer or we can have as many users as we want to use the viewer with 1 Business Intelligence license?

Hi
Discoverer Viewer is licensed the same as Discoverer Plus. If you have 1 Plus user and 20 Viewer users you need to be licensed for 21 users.
You can either buy named users or you can buy an unlimited license. The cutover point is 25 users becauses the last time I looked I believe the per user price was $800 and the perpetual was $20,000 per CPU.
The minimum purchase for named users is 5 so are you absolutely certain that 1 license you have isn't a perpetual license or even perhaps a Discoverer Admin license?
