Email PDF file - create temp PDF file not where Report Run

I mail a report from Reports 6 automatically every morning using Rwrub60 and desname [email protected] in a batch file. The problem is that you need to have write access to the directory that contains the batch file or else you get a cannot create output file error. When I copy the batch file to another directory where write access is available, no problem but the batch file must be in the original directory.
I am trying to pass this onto someone elese who doesnt have the rights I have.
Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Ive set this, although the temporary files that Reports usese are going there, the temp PDF isnt!!

Export to PDF - Can a single report (rpt file) create multiple PDF files using the export command?

Post Author: markeyjd2
CA Forum: Exporting
Greetings forum members,
My question is, in its entirety: Can a single report (rpt file) create multiple PDF files using the export command, ideally one PDF file per DB record?
In my case; I have a Crystal Report that reads data from a DB table containing ~ 500 records. When I export the report to a PDF file, I get one PDF file, with ~ 500 pages.
What I would like to do is export the report to ~ 500 individual PDF files; One file per DB record. The file names would be based on the table's primary key.
Is this possible?

Hi,
you need some lines of code, but its easy. Dependend on how to start the generation of your 500 PDFs, you can write an ASP page and start it via Web Browser, or a Windows Script and start it via scheduled job...
Here's an abstract of the ASP code I use:
First, you create a recordset (here: "rsc") which gives you the list of ID fields you want to export, then you create CrystalRuntime.Application object, then you loop through the recordset, open your report (here: "oRpt") and set login info. Then set the selectionformula, so that the report displays only the data of the current ID, e.g.:
oRpt.RecordSelectionFormula = "(" & oRpt.RecordSelectionFormula & ") AND {myTab.myVal}=" & rsc("myVal")
Then you export the report, move to the next record in recordset, and repeat the loop until recordset.EOF. Then you close recordset and connection.

DNG files created with LR4 do not show thumbnails

Hi,
When using LR3 to create DNG files from my RAW files, those files would show me thumbnails of my image in Windows Explorer. I am running Windows/7 (64) and have installed a CODEC from "Fast Picture Viewer" that allows thumbnails from RAW & DNG files to be shown. It seems, however, that the thumbnails do not show for DNG's created with LR4.
To Remedy this I uninstalled the CODEC. Downloaded the most recent version and installed it but this did not fix the problem.
I then went to the user forum for the CODEC product and searched for my problem. I found a thread who's solution is to turn off "Embed Fast Load Data" when exporting to DNG and it fixes the problem. I tried this and indeed it did fix it. The responder went on to say ".....When this option is enabled the files created are no longer DNGs (just an undocumented private format of Adobe that no one else can read to this date)". This statement surprised me as it is counter to what I understand Adobe created DNG to be. Can I get some input on this comment as if true it is very troubling.
My second question is that I see where to turn off the "Embed Fast Load Data" in the LR Export module, but where do I do the same thing in the Import module when I'm selecting import mode "Copy to DNG"?
And, my thrid question is this. If indeed the DNG files created by LR4 are proper DNG files and this CODEC is just flawed in some way, does anyone have a better way to allow image thumbnails to be shown in Windows Explorer?
Thanks -- Dan

Hi David,
You testing does not coincide with mine. I have consistently kept "Use
lossy compression" turned off. With lossy turned off, it seems that using
Fast Data Load prevents the thumbnails from displaying whereas turning off
"Fast Data Load" allows the thumbnail to be shown.
Below is comment from Adobe confirming that they have yet to release the
spec containing "Fast Data Load".

How to open a file created at the server through form/report at client end

How to open a file created at the server through form/report at client end
Dear Sir/Madame,
I am creating a exception report at the server-end using utl file utility. I want to display this report at the client end. A user doesn't have any access to server. Will u please write me the solution and oblige me.
Thanks
Rajesh Jain

One way of doing this is to write a PL/SQL procedure that uses UTL_FILE to read the file and DBMS_OUTPUT to display the contents to the users.
Cheers, APC

Using XML files created with PDF form in Excel

I have returned survey XML files created by a survey form using Lifecycle Designer. Have been unsuccessful in the importing of multiple XML files into Excel as a 2nd file just overlays the 1st file's data.
I have been reading a number of posts that most likely tells me that sending the PDF survey form out via e-mail and getting the returned XML file back via e-mail was not the best way to do it. Unfortunately it is what I have to deal with now, so two questions I have:
1. Is there a known method for importing all of these XML files into any Office program more easily than what I have been dealing with, and
2. What method would be best used if I have surveys to send out but have no web server or any other tool other than my local software on my PC for collecting and compiling the returned data?

Are you clicking the Send Email button while previewing the pdf form?
-> If yes, have you specified preview data on Form Properties panel?
-> If yes, does your form contain Table or repeatable subforms?
If all the above point are true, you will get multiple data in your xml.

Captivate File Created with Trial Will Not Open in Paid for Captivate

I have a file created by Trial version of captivate. It was created in a different computer. Now, I have to make some modification in the file. However, when I tried to open it with Captivate 5.5, I got the error shown below. I am not able to use the popular solution provided in this link Click here to view because the file was not created in my computer. I believe that there is a lock on the file since it was created with Trial version of captivate. Is it possible that I send the file to a representative, and they look into it?

Was the file created with the same version? You talk about 'trial', but the only trial version available at this moment is Captivate 8. You were never able to open a Captivate project in a previous version, that explains why you cannot open it in 5.5.

The Slideshow mp4 file created in Lightroom does not play on an iPad

If I take a collection of images and create a sideshow in Lightroom 4 and export it as a mp4 file using the 720p preset and put it at a website, the file works fine with various Windows computers and android devices but does not play in an iPad. If I take that same mp4 file and run it through Adobe Premier Elements 12 to produce a new 720p mp4 file, that mp4 file plays fine in the iPad.
Anyone know the reason for this and how to create a 720p file that will play in the iPad in LIghtroom?

Don't know if this will help, but you might want to check your mp4 files against this :-

Tiff (or tif) file created in Photoshop is not displaying in Firefox 2 or 3 with Quicktime plugin

I embedded a tiff file that was created in Photoshop but it is not displaying in Quicktime/Firefox.
It works in other browsers but not Firefox 2 or 3. And another point is that if the Tiff file is created in any other graphics application then it works!
It leads me to think that Photoshop might be adding some metadata to the file that Quicktime/Firefox is not liking.
Any ideas on what might fix this?

There are different types of TIF files with different kinds of contents (compression schemes, channels, bit depths, etc). It is no surprise that you might get different results with different browsers/plugins.
What kind of TIFF are you using? Why are you not using a more standard web image format that does not require the overhead and hassle of an optional plugin?

REP-108: File 'c:\temp\pfj26863413.gif' not found

When run the report with report server i have this error.
When run the same report whit report builder i have not this error.
The path c:\temp exist
Cristian

I was facing the same problem when running a report with embedded chart graphics, and every time we tried running it we got an error message like the one below, where the gif file name changed every time:
REP-108: File 'd:\ora9ias\reports\temp\pfj30143486.gif' not found
Our solution was:
After a lot of research and troubleshooting we found out that if we compiled the report in a different machine (the developers') and deployed to the server it worked fine, the problem was the settings (registry and path variables) in the machine that was compiling the report (Our software release machines). I can't say exactly what were the settings changes right now, but try under someone else's machine, its the configuration of reports builder.
Hope this helps.

Adobe PDF Printer creating corrupt PDFs

Greets,
One of my customers has a bit of an odd issue: He has Acrobat X Pro (10.1.2), Windows 7 64-bit, and when he creates a PDF via the Adobe PDF printer (Distiller?) using any software (even as simple as notepad) it opens correctly on his computer, but when sent to other people, they get the error "there was an error opening this document." I am able to open the PDF in muPDF and it opens and displays correctly, so I believe the problem is something to do with the file headers.
PDFs created via other means open correctly on all computers. (Word plugin, Acrobat itself, etc.)
I found another thread that said to uncheck "Rely on system fonts only", but this does not resolve the issue. I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the Adobe PDF Printer, run a repair on Acrobat X, etc.
Anyone run into this/found an answer before?

Some more testing makes it seem Outook 2010 is the culpret.
Any PDF that's just text seems to be sent as a text attachment instead of binary, so I need to find a way to force Outlook 2010 to properly encode as binary. (My user will refuse to zip attachments as a solution.) There's a microsoft KB entry on it for 2000, 2003, and 2007, but it doesn't seem to work for 2010. Any ideas?

Hi Neeraj,
It is happening because you have not selected the mapping execution area as STAGUING .
Open your interface , click on each and every column of your target datastore , make sure the "Execute On" is marked on "Staging Area".
Then run your interface.

Can't Find Hidden Files Created by .rar file

I downloaded a .rar file that when I expanded the file using Stuffit, it asked me where I want to save them, and I told it, and it expanded 13 files, but I can't seem to find the folder that Stuffit would have created, not the 13 files. I've tried the show hidden files command "defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles YES" but that didn't seem to help... Anyone know how I might access these?

found shareware program that was able to extract files correctly called UnRarX

Unable to open file created by outbound file adapter

Hi,
I have a requiement for polling data from 3 different tables, mergind=g them and writing all data into a flat file in CSV format. However, I see that I'm unable to open the file with my personal UNIX credentials, since the file is getting written by the SOA UNIX credentials.
Is there any way to set the default permissions on the server so that the file is accessible to other users as well.
Any insight would be appreciated, I'm quite stumped with this. My working environment is SOA Suite 11.1.1.5 running on OEL 5
Thanks,
Debojit

Hi,
In my view this can be sorted out at a operational system level, if you set 'umask 2' for the SOA user (the user that is starting the SOA servers and writing the files) then files created by that user will allow rights for users in the same group. So, you will need to add the group id from the SOA user to your user groups.
It may be a little bit confusing, the link bellow explain how permissions work in a Unix system.
