REP: 3002 & 19200 - Character base report on n-tier application.

Dear friends
We are using ORACLE 8i as database server, IIS as Web server,
Front-end
is -Forms 6i and Reports 6i. We have developed Reports both in
character
and Bitmap as per client's requirement. Bitmap reports are
working fine
in 2- tier as well as in 3- tier application.
Character base reports are working fine in 2-tier application
but in
3-tier it shows “ REP: 3002: ERROR INITIALIZING PRINTER. PLEASE
MAKE
SURE PRINTER IS INSTALLED” We have tried and communicated with
local
ORACLE for quite some time, but the solution is not found till
date. (We
have tried with DESFOMAT and other parameters)
Is there any other way so that we can generate the output in
character
mode from 3-tier (without converting to bitmap) as this is a
specific
requirement of our client. (As within the premises they are
using 2-tier
and from remote place they will be using 3-tier application
through
web.)
Could any one please help us in this matter? Pl. consider this
as a
urgent.
Thanks in advance.

Yu may want to use a dictionary which has a built in hash table for the key. See code below for starting point
List<string> input = new List<string>() { "abc", "abd", "def", "ghi" };
Dictionary<string, List<string>> dict = input.AsEnumerable()
.GroupBy(x => x.Substring(0,1), y => y)

Report for printing actuals for a fiscal period

i have a report which prints the actuals for a fiscal year . Its like each country has their own fiscal year representation , The report is currently printing the data based on its own fiscal year representation , i have to modify the report and want it to print based on US(sep-aug) fiscal representation .. like for example for india its printing with may as fiscal period 1 , instead i want to print it with may data as fiscal period 9 and to print the data from sep-aug for all countries. I dont understand how to give the select statement and how to proceed with this. I appreciate if anyone can help me with this.
Lets load up the yps_costplan table for loading.
if they didn't specify a project to single load, go get them all.
if s_objnr is initial.
if in first fiscal month, "Sept", then get previous years data to
fill in the last month, month 12.
if t_t009b-poper = '001'.
select * from yps_costplan into table i_yps_costplan
where yyobjnr gt 'PR00000000' and yygjahr ge yprevyear and
yygjahr lt yplus1year.
else.
select * from yps_costplan into table i_yps_costplan
where yyobjnr gt 'PR00000000' and yygjahr ge p_fiscal and
yygjahr lt yplus1year.
endif.
When getting all, start with 2003, when doing month, use current
fiscal year only.
yygjahr between t_yearm1 and t_yearp1.
else.
They secified 1 project, go get his data.
if not s_objnr-LOW cs '*'.
concatenate s_objnr-low '%' into hold_projn.
loop at s_objnr.
if s_objnr-high eq space.
concatenate s_objnr-low '*' into s_objnr-low.
s_objnr-option = 'CP'.
modify s_objnr.
endif.
endloop.
select posid objnr from prps into table t_prps
WHERE POSID IN S_OBJNR.
else.
concatenate s_objnr-low(sy-fdpos) '%' into hold_projn.
select posid objnr from prps into table t_prps
where posid like hold_projn.
WHERE POSID IN S_OBJNR.
endif.
if sy-subrc eq 0.
loop at t_prps.
if in first fiscal month, "Sept", then get previous years data to
fill in the last month, month 12.
if t_t009b-poper = '001'.
select * from yps_costplan into table h_yps_costplan where
yyobjnr = t_prps-objnr and yygjahr ge yprevyear and
yygjahr lt yplus1year.
else.
select * from yps_costplan into table h_yps_costplan where
yyobjnr = t_prps-objnr and yygjahr ge p_fiscal and
yygjahr lt yplus1year.
endif.
if sy-subrc eq 0.
loop at h_yps_costplan.
i_yps_costplan = h_yps_costplan.
append i_yps_costplan.
endloop.
endif.
endloop.
endif.
endif.

Hi Fris,
You can do this using a process chain and ABAP program.
1. Create one process chain and create abap program, include in it. Scedule this chain every day.
Write a code in this ABAP program to check last day of fiscal period and to raise an event to execute 2 process chain or infopackge.
From system date find currect period
(Use FM : DATE_TO_PERIOD_CONVERT).
Find last day of period(Use FM : LAST_DAY_IN_PERIOD_GET)
Check system date(sy-datum) is equal to last day of period then you can raise an event(Use FM : BP_RAISE_EVENT).
Use this event to schedule 2nd chains(contains infopackage) or direct scheduling of infopackage.
You can create event at : SM62.
Hope it Helps

Fonts when sending Reports via Printer Option (10g Reports / Redhat 5)

When I send a Oracle 10g report to the printer, which PPD file is it using? The printer you install on the server or the one in ORACLE_HOME/guicommon/tk/admin/PPD directory?
I installed a printer on the Linux Server and copied the file to the ORACLE_HOME/guicommon/tk/admin/PPD directory. I added some new fonts in the PPD so that the report would pick some Windows fonts that didn't exist originally on the Linux. I installed the fonts on the server and am able to see them in PDF Output options on the server.
When I send the report with the same parameters to the printer directly, it doesn't see those fonts. I only modified the PPD for that printer on ORACLE_HOME/guicommon/tk/admin/PPD directory. So I was wondering if I have to do it on the installed server file as well or not.
Any help is appreciated.
Chris

This was a response that I received from Oracle Support. Basocally, I'd have to install the font in the internal printer memory to get this to work.
Is there a way to send a Report to PDF in Oracle Forms and then at the same time once that PDF is generated, send it to the printer (without user interaction). That would take care of my problem. That would take care of my printing issue. I know PDF's work and I know I can print them displaying the fonts just fine.
Support Response:
Fonts need to be present in the PPD file as well as the internal printer memory .
Reason is as follows.
1)Based on PPD file , Font metrics will be used to create thye PS file with the correct font names.
2)When the PS file is sent to the the printer, actual fonts are not sent . Note that this is a limitation of Oracle Reports PS driver on unix and . Hence, it is required to have a printer that has the fonts installed in its memory/system.
Currently there is an internal pending enhancement request to upgrade the Postscript driver of Oracle Reports

Report for Print tracking

Dear All,
We want to track the username and no. of times that a particular SAP report has been printed so as to avoid wastage of stationaries.
I have tried a lot with no fruitful results. Please suggest.
with best regards,
Sandy

Hi Sandy,
You can get spool statistics from transactions SPAD and ST03. In SPAD click on Admin and then click on Print Request Overview. That will give you some stats on print and spool requests. You can display de data by user, printer, etc.
In ST03, double click on Spool Statistics. There you can see number of requests, pages, response time, size of the printout, and a lot more spool activity information.
Another workaround for getting the stats you need.
There is one requirement: you must have the spool requests present in your system for the statistical analysis you want to make. That means that you are not deleting the spool request after the printout.
If you have them, proceed as follows: Go to SP01 and display the spool requests for the client/user/date/etc... that you want. Then, go to the menu Settings -> Layout -> Current and add the columns: "Output device" and "Host printer" to the left side of the screen. Click Ok. That will show you all the printouts for the selection options. There, you can create totals and subtotals by user, date, printer (for LOCL, you need the host printer column). You can download the contents of the list to an excel file and create your own statistics.
If the workaround above does not work for you, you can enable the spool job statistics, but it means that if you did not have it enabled you cannot retrieve statistics from the past, because the statistics are created when the spool request is deleted by program RSPO1041. Please check the procedure to activate the spool statistics in the online documentation, for instance at:

Using old Base Station for Printer??

Just upgraded to a new AEBS so I can plug in a HD for back ups.
I'd like to use my old Base Station to plug in my printer (it needs to be in another room to keep the wife happy)
Is this possible or do I need an Airport Express for that?
Thanks,
David

The round 802.11b/g AEBS supports a single compatible USB printer.
The AEBS can not join a wireless network as a client. You will need to use WDS to wirelessly connect the 2 AEBS. This will force your new AEBS to operate in 802.11g mode. Also the WDS link will cut your available bandwidth in half. So the best wireless bandwidth you would see is 27 Mbps. Quite a lot less than the maximum offered by 802.11n.

SBC dsl wireless modem talk to my Base station for printing?

I have no problems just printing through my Apple base station. I also use a wireless SBC dsl modem for Internet service. My problem: When I'm using my SBC dsl on the Internet, I have to print by switching from my "2wire175" network to the Apple network, print my page, then switch back, hoping I'm still on-site.
How do I either: attach my HP550 to the SBC dsl modem OR get my Base station to talk with my SBC modem. Or ........???
Charlie

To get your Base Station to "talk" to your 2Wire wireless router, you will need to:
- connect to the Airport Base Station's wireless network, run the Airport Admin Utility, then (1) under the Airport tab, turn the transmitter power down all the way since you don't really need to have two base stations running, and (2) under the Network tab, uncheck the box to "Distribute IP addresses". Then update settings to the Base Station.
- cable the LAN port of the Base Station to one of the LAN ports on the 2Wire router
- then restart all wireless Macs, and connect to the 2Wire wireless router. The printer connected to the Base Station will now be accessible.

Draft font in smartform

Hi gurus,
I need to print an output in SF on DOTMATRIX printer.
The client is telling to use DRAFT font wherein it can easily print on dotmatrix output.
I coudnt find this font in our dictionary.
Please Help.
Regards,
Roshan Lilaram.

Hi,
call transaction SE73 and press button "Install truetype font". In the new window select a font name (or create previously one) and enter the path for the file with your draft font. Perhaps you have it in your computer. Make a search with windows explorer with '.ttf' or under c:\windows\fonts'.

Crystal Report Passbook Printing

Hi,
Iam using the Crystal Reports Release XI. Iam having a one report for printing the passbook from java.
Iam unable to give more printing options to the report. Already iam using this below API com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.document.PrintReportOptions.
For example:
Number of pages in the pasbook = 10.
Number of records per page in the passbook = 10. So we can printing 100 records in this passbook. Problem is I need to print from 16th line to 28th line for customer transactions. How can I solve this one....? Could I use the PageRange API in the PrintReportOptions class....?
(Iam having more printing options like passbook_layout, line_space, print_record_in_Grid, length_value and breath_value).
Thanks,

I solved the problem by putting the report in Programme Files/SAP /Addon folder.

Switch from OINV to ODRF in Crystal Report layout for print the Invoice?

Hi,
I have imported in Sap Business One some standard report developed by Sap with Crystal Report (like Sales Invoice).
I have try to print my Invoices and all is OK, then I have try to print a Draft Invoice and, even in this case, is all ok. Then I have open the Crystal Report designer for this print module, and the entry point is the OINV table. How can he print succesful the Draft Invoice (that is in the ODRF table ObjType = 13)? Formula Field? I don't understand!!
Thank for the help!!
Marco

Hi Marco,
You only need a single Crystal report for this. Base it on a stored procedure which has two INT type parameters @DocKey and @ObjectId. Within your SQL create IF blocks to handle different @ObjectId values:
IF @ObjectId = 13 then use the invoices tables OINV/INV1 etc.
IF @ObjectId = 112 then use the draft tables ODRF/DRF1 etc.
Don't forget to put the @ symbol at the end of the parameter in the report itself. That is all that is needed to create a single report that works for both added invoices and draft invoices. You could extend the SQL to handle other @ObjectId values like 14 for AR Credit Notes and so on.
Regards,
Andrew.
