EH&S WWI for GLM print request processing

Hi all,
we installed EH&S WWI for GLM print request processing scenario, following the note:"1394553", but when we try to print we receive this error from WWI:

Dear Pugal
we are not using GLM + and I am not sure about the technqiue used there to handle load balancing. Regarding general WWI setup I assume you know this Note: EH&amp;S: Availability and performance of WWI and Expert servers
On the top there is a further SAP Note abvailable which might be of interest. This is referenced here:
http://de.scribd.com/doc/191576739/011000358700000861002013-e
May be check OSS note: 1958655; OSS Note 1155294 is more related to normal WWI stuff; but may be check it as well. May be 1934253 might help better
May be this might help.

PS: may be check as well: consolut - EHS_MD_140_01 - EH&amp;S-Management-Server einrichten
The load balancing of synchron WWi servers is donein the "RFC" layer, therefore you have no inffluence here, for asynchron WWI servers you can do a lot to manage the WWI load balancing by using "exits" etc.

SAP GLM Print Request - Load Balancing of WWI server

Hi GLM Experts,
I am using new GLM + module that generates labels based on Print Requests. I am unable to understand how I can load balance the WWI services when there are multiple label printing requests.
In GLM + we associate a WWI to a Print Station and which can then be associated with a printer. So in the configuration we are tying up a printer a WWI.
Also during label printing, if the scenario uses print request module, then the use need to select a print station and printer. What happens if the WWI related to the print station is down?
For example I have two services in WWI server GENPC1 and GENPC2. I created WWII and WWI2 as two print stations. I will associate my printer PRNWWI to both the print stations WWI1 and WWI2.
During label printing if the user picks and WWI1 and Printer PDNWWI and if the GENPC1 WWI server assocaited with print status WWI1 is busy and down I want WWI GENPC2 to generate the label?
How to setup the above load balancing or fall back? Please let me know.
Thanks
Pugal

Payment block set for Down payment requests processed via F110

When I process a vendor down payment request from F-47, it gets paid during F110. However it gets posted to Vendor a/c with special GL indicator and with a "payment block". I am not sure why the payment block is put automatically. Can this be functionality be changed.

Hello Krishna,
Can u pls elaborate the question.
Step1: Post down payment request F-47
Step2: Post down payment against request F110
When your getting this payment block.
however pls go through this path

Hi Sri,
Try to setup the printer at OS LEVEL.
then,
If on Windows---use method C.
if not,
use method U and map to your printer queue at OS level.
Hope this resloves this issue.

Transparency needed for Ai T-shirt logo - How do you do this for cmyk print?

I have a logo created in Ai CS4 and it need to have a transparnt background (no white) because it will be printed on t-shirts, some not white, and a business card, but on other than white paper. What file format should I save this in for there to be both Transparency and in CMYK format for print?
Is there a rule to remember when I want transparency AND I am going to print in CMYK?
PNG seems to give the trans, but it says it is RGB color. Is this what I would have to send to a printer? Is this correct?
In PS, it was fine to save with transp, but what is the best method, I am so very confused - Any experts out there?

There is no need for raster "transparency" in order to "eliminate the white background" in a project desitined for CMYK printing. There is no white ink involved. There is no process color channel in a CMYK raster image.
In other words, white in the Illustrator document (and white pixels in a CMYK raster image) do not mean "white"; they mean "no ink." So obviously, where no ink is printed, the color of the substrate (be it paper or textile) "shows through".
For textile printing of process color, however, it is often necessary to create a separation plate for white ink, because CMYK process assumes translucent inks, which do not show up well on dark substrates. In such a situation, it becomes necessary to create a separate image that will be actually be printed with an opaque white ink; the CMYK process colors are then printed on top of that. But doing that involves deliberately setting up a spot color in Illustrator, and/or a separate channel in the raster image(s). A normal CMYK or RGB image, when color-separated, does not produce a spot white plate just because there are white pixels in the image.
It's common-sense if you think about in physical terms. You have an image consisting mostly of blue and green. If you were to actually paint this on, say, a pastel yellow shirt, and did not want a white background, what would you do? You'd paint with some blue paint. You'd paint with some green paint.
Or, think of it this way: Print the image to a white piece of paper in your desktop inkjet printer. What does the printer do? It prints little dots of Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black inks. Does it print little dots of white ink if you instead insert a piece of colored paper? Of course not. The printer has no idea what color the paper is, and even if it did, it couldn't automagically generate white ink.
Your post suggests you do not want a white background or underlay. If I were preparing that image for screen printing on textiles, I would not print it as CMYK process. I would make it a 2-channel image, and print it with an opaque blue and an opaque green ink. That would work for all but dark substrates. If you are printing this onto pastel substrates, it will likely work fine even if printed using CMYK process inks.

FBU Internal Job Queue Full for Synchronous Processing of Print Requests

Hello All,
We are getting a lot of errors in system log (SM21) with the
Error : FBU Internal Job Queue Full for Synchronous Processing of Print Requests
User :SAPSYS
MNO:FBU
=============================================================
Documentation for system log message FB U :
If a spool server is to process output requests in the order they were
created using multiple work processes, the processing of requests for a
particular device can only run on one work process. To do this an
internal queue (limited size) is used.
If too many requests are created for this device too quickly, the work
process may get overloaded. This is recognized when, as in this case,
the internal queue is exhausted.
This can only be solved by reducing the print load or increasing
processor performance or, if there is a connection problem to the host
spooler, by improving the transfer of data to the host spooler.
Increasing the number of spool work processes will not help, as
requests for one device can only be processed by one work process. If
processing in order of creation is not required, sequential request
processing can be deactivated (second page of device configuration in
Transaction SPAD). This allows several work processes to process
requests from the same device thus alleviating the bottleneck.
Enlarging the internal queue will only help if the overload is
temporary. If the overload is constant, a larger queue will eventually
also be overloaded.
===========================================================
Can you please tell me how to proceed.
Best Regards,
Pratyusha

Solution is here:
412065 - Incorrect output sequence of output requests
Reason and Prerequisites
The following messages appear in the developer trace (dev_trc) of the SPO processes or in the syslog:
S *** ERROR => overflow of internal job queue [rspowunx.c 788]
Syslog Message FBU:
Internal job queue for synchronous request processing of output requests full
The "request processing sequence compliance" on a spool server with several SPO processes only works provided the server-internal job queue (see Note 118057) does not overflow. The size of this request queue is prepared using the rspo/global_shm/job_list profile parameter. The default value is 50 requests. However, if more output requests arrive for the spool server than can be processed (and the internal request queue is full as a result), more SPO processes are used to process the requests (in parallel), and the output sequence of the requests is no longer guaranteed.
Solution
Increase the rspo/global_shm/job_list profile parameter to a much larger value. Unfortunately, the value actually required cannot be found by "trial and error" because this queue contains all the incoming output requests on a spool server, not just the "sequence compliant" requests. A practical lower limit for this value represents the maximum sequence-compliant output requests for the above generated output device. If, for example, 1000 documents that should be output in sequence are issued from an application program to an output device, the queue must be able to hold 1000 entries so that it does not overflow if the SPO process processes the requests at a maximum low-speed.

Err:Internal Job Queue full for synchronous processing of print requests

Hi,
We are getting a lot of errors in system log with the
error :
Internal Job Queue full for synchronous processing of print requests.
User :SAPSYS
MNO:FBU.
When we check the document in syslog it states it can be solved by reducing the print load or increasing performance or if there is a connection problem to host spooler , by improving the transfer of data to host spooler..
But not by increasing the no of spool workprocess..
I think any of the one stated cannot be implemented ..
Pls provide your valuable answers and if any of the above can be implemented from your end..
Regds,

Hi Vamshi,
Thanks for your response but would also like to confirm how we can say that spool queue is full and what may be the Max size of spool queue..
When we say Internal queue is full does it mean spool queue...
And also when I run the TEmse consistency check it is giving some errors..
When I check Spool requests there are some waiting process,but when I check Output requests there are only 1 or 2..
Please provide me your valuable solution regd this..

High volume Printing for GLM?

I understand from various sources GLM can support high volume label output provided the correct enhancements and support packs are installed and configured. This may include updates to WWI. We are currently running ECC6 EHP5, SAP_BASIS 10, EHSM 3, WWI 2.7
I would like to get this communities inputs. Our requirement is to generate >2000 identical labels via GLM. WWI processing today is long (5+min) and the output is large. Ideally system would generate 1 label with indication to print 2000 times. Our labels include barcodes and symbols and can be complex.

Dear Richard,
The functions of GLM is well explained as Christopher said and using GLM, you can print labels more than 10000 witha sequential data output. To support such large quanitity of data to be printed on labels, you may need a special printers like the Zebra High volume printer. The WWI server is equipped to print large volume of labels using specific printer plugins.
High volume printers can be used to print print requests with print files that are too large or that contain more than 32,768 labels to be printed. The HVP is designed as a printer driver for Microsoft Windows and is connected to the label printer via a plug-in.
With the HVP, only one page with all static data is sent to the printer. The HVP then receives all of the sequential data via an interface and automatically supplements the sequential data in the printout. The HVP also integrates changing bar codes or texts in the printout.
The Zebra 170Xi4 is one of most popular, industrial-strength printers on the market. This rugged metal unit prints 1-color labels up to 6.6" wide, with 300 dpi print resolution in thermal or thermal transfer mode. Its extra processing power equates to speeds up to 12 inches-per-second. This one is perfect for tough applications including compliance labels, product labels, and shipping labels.

How to print Spool requests for cheque printing sequentially

Dear All,
I am making vendor payments and printing cheques using F-58. It automatically creates a spool requests at the end of the transaction. When i complete all my payments and go to SP01 for viewing spool requests, the last request appears at the top of the list.
If i select 3 consecutive requests and print them at a time, the last request gets printed first on the first cheque number and the first request gets printed on the last cheque number.
This results in anomaly in the cheque number assigned in the system and the printed cheque as the last payment is printed on the first cheque.
I am using dot matrix printer with page format fixed for cheque specifications. The cheques are printed properly as per the format except the order of printing.
Kindly let me know how to print multiple requests sequentially from the spool requests list such that the spool request number printed matches with the serial cheque numbers.
Regards,
SAP_2009

Hi,
I understod your issue.
Whenever you posted multiple payment documents, and after that if you want to take cheque printouts sequentially by using more spool requests.........there is a way to sort out this issue.
1) Select all of your spool requests and click on Sort in ascending Order (CtrlShiftF5) and click on Print directly (CtrlShiftF8). By doing this you will get the cheque printouts sequentially according to your payment document sequence.
Hope this will help you
Assign ********, if it solved your problem.

Mac OS X 10.7 drivers for HP LaserJet 1300: installation at the "Add Printer" process ended, every time, with message "Currently drivers for this printer are UNavailable..."! PLEASE HELP?

APPLE [see Apple Support's Article HT 3669] says Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) has drivers for this Printer.
But, every time I've tried installing it to my Mac Book Pro (which came with OS X 10.7), it does recognize that the Printer (connected via USB cable) is HP LaserJet 1300 -- in fact, right below, this statement appears: "The drivers for this Printer are available...". But, when it comes to the actual process of downloading, the "Add Printer" window -- after 20+ minutes of its "searching" for the drivers -- always ends with the message: "Currently drivers for this printer are UNavailable... contact the manufacturer."!!! (Can you imagine? Apple says it's available... but its own "Add Printer" process says it's UNavailable!)
I went to HP's support site, and it, too, says that drivers for this Printer are available! -- see the 2 links:

Best Practices for setting up InDesign Effects for offset printing.

I'm new to the forum so I hope I'm posting my question in the correct place. I'm a prepress supervisor for a company that receives most of it's work as PDFs exported from InDesign. I notice on more and more work (proabably 75%) our customers are setting up their effects in InDesign. We receive files exported from CS3 and CS4, mac and pc. Our prepress system is Prinergy 4.1. We have job options that we recommend customers use for PDF export directly out of the applicaton and we are currently testing PDFX4. The problem is we don't have consistent results with our ripped files, we often see artifacts around items that use certain effects (such as the bevel and emboss effect), many times the customer uses a drop shadow along with the bevel and emboss and we see "pixelation" or low-resolution "jagginess." Files that use feathering often drop part of the feathered image and if black text is touching an effect it will process out to CMYK. If we have the InDesign file it sometimes works to change how the effect is applied (text, object, fill), sometimes we have to flatten on export or write a PDFX4. If we are working with the customer's PDF we often have to flatten at the rip, save the PDF as a postscript file or request the native files to troubleshoot. Are there guidelines to applying effects in Indesign? We would like to try to document for our customers recommended processes for creating files.
Thanks!

Our strongest recommendation at Adobe for best PDF print publishing workflow results is to use the PDF/X-4 settings for exporting PDF from InDesign 6 and saving PDF from Adobe Illustrator 14. (The "draft PDF/X-4" support of InDesign 5 and Illustrator 13 was based on a draft version of the ISO PDF/X-4 specification that was significantly modified prior to final ISO standard ratification and publication!) PDF/X-4 provides for a reliable workflow in which live transparency and color management is carried in the PDF file itself; no "flattening" of transparency effects or color conversions occur until as late as possible in the print workflow, preferably at the RIP itself!
PDF/X-4 is an excellent choice for PDF if you have a workflow which uses the Adobe PDF Print Engine technology in the RIP. In your case, Prinergy 4.1 does in fact provide Adobe PDF Print Engine technology. Make sure that (1) you enable the Adobe PDF Print Engine as opposed to CPSI and (2) you don't refine the pages as part of the Prinergy workflow (that process ruins your PDF by converting to PostScript and converting back to PDF - not something you want to do for a reliable PDF workflow with transparency and color management).
Note that even if you do use PDF/X-4 and properly configure your PDF workflow system / RIP, it is still incumbent upon the designer to produce reasonable content. Just because "it looks good on the screen" (additive screen color) doesn't mean that it will reasonably translate to ink on substrate (subtractive printing color). Adobe does provide guidelines for use of transparency and color on its website for use by designers to guide them.

No response returned for the http request

My application is running on Weblogic 10 in a clustered environment. The UI is a developed in Eclipse RCP.
I have a problem where a particular request never returns from the server to the desktop.
This can be reproduced only in Beta environment and does not happen in Development, Integration or System Test Environment.
I tried thread dumps but there was no thread waiting for this request.
I tried http monitor tool but I am unable to find the cause and solution for this.
Can someone please help me to understand in which situation would this happen and what must be done to overcome this?
Thanks
Bala

Thanks for replying.
yes, we have put in the logger messages.
The desktop calls Struts2 Action class and the server does recieves the request, processes it (contacts a 3rd party system), recieves the response from the 3rd party system and then persists the necessary information to the database.
After this we have logs to print which Action class took how much time. That also gets printed successfully.
For this process the server took 275 seconds (this is the most time consuming task in the whole app) . After printing this there is no response returned from the server to the desktop.
There are no exceptions and errors.
The fact which is most disturbing is that this is not re-creatable in any other environments (dev, IT,ST) and only in BETA. Though all are clustered environments.
Please help me trace the response. I am ready to implement any ideas. But I want to reach to the root cause. As this is in BETA I am unable to remote debug as well :-((
Thanks
