EBS 12.1.3 & Printing in AIX 7.1

Hi,
we have EBS 12.1.3 on AIX 7.1, and are encountering some difficulties in EBS printing as described below.
Steps taken:
1) Our Hosting Provider has setup the printer on OS level
# lpstat -a |grep myPrinter
myPrinter:
myPrinter:
myPrinter:
myPrinter:
myPrinter:
"test.txt" is printed out correctly with the below command:
$ lp –dmyPrinter test.txt
2) In EBS, we have defined the following:
System Administrator -> Install -> Printer -> Register:
Printer:
myPrinter
Type:
--PASTA Universal Printer Type
Description:
KONICA MINOLTA C360SeriesPS (Color)
3) Testing with "Active Users" report -> Printed out correctly
4) Testing with concurrent request that is using an RTF template:
Options -> Layout:
<template name>, English United States, RTF, AMERICAN
Print the Output to:
Style: Landwide
Printer: myPrinter
Copies: 1
For language: American English
End result:
Printing out some code:
\row
\trowd
\trleft99
\clcbpat4\....
We have many Excel, Word and PDF templates defined in XML Publisher. Can these be printed out correctly using the above Concurrent Request -> Options -> Print the Output To functionality?
If yes, could you help to understand what additional setup needs to be done?
BR,
TH

Our hosting provider has now setup "pdf2ps" on AIX level. It works correctly with "root" user. But with "applmgr" user, it gives the following error:
Does "<10.1.2 OH>/jdk/jre/bin/libjpeg.a" exist?
Do you have "libjpeg.so.62" package installed?
Can you compare the PATH settings for both root and applmgr user and see if there is a difference?
Have you reviewed (How To Print XML Publisher PDF Reports From The Concurrent Manager (Doc ID 338990.1))?
Thanks,
Hussein

    Hi,
    We have written a custom Forte system for bill printing. We store all our
    bill information, such as balances, charges and payments in the database and
    use Forte to build the bill image at run-time. The bill image is just a big
    text file with Xerox macros to control the layout, headers, positions,
    barcode, OMR marks etc. In fact, we have the system separated into 3
    layers. One for data retrieval , one for presentation and one for spooling
    ( which means counting page number, setting OMR marks, setting
    stationary/single page/duplex etc ). We have also utilized the presentation
    layer for presenting the bill on Windows and on Web.
    Our approach is to use a group of objects for building 1 bill image for 1
    account and then write "client" programs to drive this "server" for batch
    print, single bill re-print, bill enquiry on Windows/Web etc.
    Some experience to share:
    1. We've used "Builder" pattern for the data retrieval layer, i.e.
    separating a bill into different primary sections of data and then write a
    "builder" for each section. Use a "director" to "control" these "builders"
    to assemble the sections into a bill.
    2. Used "Strategy" pattern for writing the presentation layer. We have
    a presentation layer for Xerox, Windows and Web.
    3. Used "Visitor" pattern to format the bill. A "Visitor" would be
    "accepted" by each section and the visitor would then print out the section
    to a TextData using the presentation "strategy" attached.
    4. The resulting image or "TextData" of each section will then be
    "spooled" to the 3rd layer attached with the "Visitor". This layer /
    spooling used "State" pattern to control the stationary, heading, trailer,
    Xerox macros etc. One example, our bill is single sided for the 1st page
    and duplex for the rest of it. Some customer with multiple accounts has
    their bill details breaked by accounts which always starts at the front
    page. "State" pattern would be perfect for this scenarios.
    Hope this experience can help.
    Best regards,
    Peter Sham.

  • Acroread printing on AIX

    Hi,
    We are in the middle of migrating an 11.5.10.2 customer from TRU64 to AIX 5.3 64-bit.
    We are using reports generator to create our output files in our concurrent manager, we are NOT USING PASTA. We then use the driver arguments command to use acroread to print these output files to a postscript printer. Our postscript printing does not format correctly. In some cases the page is missing it's top 0.5cm, in another it goes off the right hand side of the page. Our page szie should be A4.
    The command we are using is cat $PROFILES$.FILENAME | /usr/local/bin/acrobat4/bin/acroread -toPostScript -shrink | lp -c -d$PROFILES$PRINTER -n$PROFILES$.CONC_COPIES
    Running the command from the OS gives the exact same result. cat 01234567.out | /usr/local/bin/acrobat4/bin/acroread -toPostScript -shrink | lp -c -dhp_print_01 -n1 i.e. the printing alignment is not correct.
    We are running E-Business Suite 11.5.10.2 on AIX 5.3 64-bit. We have already sorted out the LIBPATH issue (ours is now unset when we run from the command line).
    When I take the o1234567.out file to a the original TRU64 OS and run the exact same command the output prints perfectly.
    My question is has anyone managed to get reports generated concurrent manager output file printing correctly on AIX, if so, what do we need to do to get this working?
    Some other information to consider are when we take a test.pdf file generated with XML Publisher and run the acroread command, we do not get any postscript output created.
    When we take the 01234567.out file and run it through pdf2ps on the AIX box, the output is mis-aligned again.
    Running test.pdf through pdf2ps produces a postscript file that prints in the correct format.
    Do we need to change the SRW File for the printer driver, does anyone have an example for AIX?
    Also, is our only option to install PASTA?
    Regards,
    Tim.

    All, the reason for this issue was the version of acroread we were using. We had acroread7 installed, and we have since rolled back to acroread5. This issue is now resolved.

  • Does Lexmark 4227 plus printer is supported for Oracle EBS R12.0.6?

    Hi
    Our sysadmin installed Lexmark 4227 plus printer on AIX 5.3.7, printing perfectly from AIX. But when i register printer in EBS R12.0.6, it is printing Garbage for text type report. Could not find driver definitions for Lexmark type printer. How to define? I am unable to resolve issue. Can anybody help me?
    Regards

    Ateeq,
    Use lp command on Unix/Linux, and on Windows use print command.
    Windows:
    print /D:\\<server_name>\<printer_name> <file_name>
    Unix/Linux:
    lp -d <printer_name> -n<copies> <file_name>Where file_name is the concurrent request output file.
    Note: 784640.1 - Any EBS Requirements For Local or Remote Printers
    https://metalink2.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=NOT&p_id=784640.1
    I believe Oracle Apps does not come with seeded drivers/styles for Lexmark printers, so you may need to try with different predefined styles/drivers. Also, contact your vendor and see if they have any clients with this printer configured on Oracle Apps.

    Is it correct so far?

    2D bar codes are not supported in Reports. You will need a Java solution. See this thread:
    Re: how to use 2 d barcodes in reports 6i
    This thread also has the suggestion to create the 2D bar code as an image. Of course, you still need some other program to create this image first.

  • For xml reports in ebs, if default font is not found, what does OPP do?

    If the OPP is unable to locate a font file while merging an XML report in EBS R12.1.3 running on AIX (BI Version 5.6.3), what does it do?  Is there a default set somewhere, and if so, can it be changed?  Can it be changed only at the site level, or at the indvidual template level?  Is there just one default or can you specify a different default for each font?  Is there anyway to force the merge to error if the requested font is not found?

    it's very difficult to say
    you can seek some MOS for specific problem
    IMHO
    based on
    Specific Special Characters Are Not Getting Printed In Pdf Output Format From XML Publisher Reports (Doc ID 1283873.1)
    i try to suppose that some symbol will be incorrect without needed fonts and in OPP you can (may be) see some messages
    based on

    you can see question marks instead of characters

  • Check Printing, creating new report

    Dear all;
    We have Oracle EBS R12, the check printing in R12 use a java concurent program. we have a requirment where we need to add some condition but as you know, it is impossible to play with the existing check printing java concurent program even if we decompile it
    we have created a new rdf and rtf (along with a new concurent program) that we will call instead of the java concurent program however we are not able to pass the "Check No" parameter to this new concurent program
    any solution to this Check printing issue?
    the cusotmer paid around 1 million US$ and he cannot add a single condition to the check printing

    Hi,
    Not sure I get what you mean by "add a condition" ???
    To exclude an invoice from payment, catch it before it gets to check printing, or restrict the Payment Process as you require.
    You have full control over the formatting via BI Publisher Layout - and can add conditions there!
    You have full ability to add additional fields via the PL/SQL Package extension that hooks into the XML generation.
    Can you clarify your requirements?
    PS. Contact me if you need a consulting solution.

    Hi,
    The problem has been resolved. It was due to configuration error in the host file. rapidwiz was looking for hostname (IPPDDVP) and it was commented out in the host
    file. we had to comment out the old configuration and use the old configuration. it looked like this at first:
    #192.168.100.82 ippddvp.cagdhq.gov.gh ippddvp
    192.168.100.82 pvapps.provision.com pvapps

    I am doing a migration of Discoverer (connected to a EBS 11.5.10) of Linux to AIX, and i have found a document of migration this document is only migration of Discoverer between platform.
    But post to the migration, i must install some patch in EBS or in the Discoverer of AIX for that working with the EBS?. The version of Discoverer of Linux and AIX will be the same.
    Thank you very much for your time.

    Pl identify which version of Discoverer. You will need to follow one of these Docs
