Fonts in Reports 9i for RH Linux

I deployed my forms/reports application on 9iAS for linux. I have generally used Ariel font in all of my reports.
Those reports which have bold font of Ariel print the text a bit larger and therefore my text is not printed fully.
Reports having Ariel Narrow font totally print a new different font. This may be due to absence of Ariel Narrow font in RH 7.3 Linux. How I can add this font?
Kindly advise me the solution.
Thanks

For going multi-platform it is easiest to stick to the logical fonts: Fonts named "Serif", "SansSerif", "Monospaced", "Dialog", and "DialogInput".
These fonts are guaranteed to exist on any platform, although their implementations may be different. If you use others then you'll have to figure out how to deal with cross platform issues.

How To use Arial (Cyrillic) font in Reports 10g for PDF output

Hi,
My reports are in Arial (Cyrillic) font, but there are only hieroglyphes in pdf output. Is there a problem with fonts on Report Server or something else?
My Report Server is 10g R2 (10.1.2.2) and OS is RHEL 4.
I followed metalink notes 750805.1 and 356221.1 but it didn't help me.

You also have to be careful with fonts. The font you download may be the same name, but a different font. Just because you find a Zurich BT font, does not mean it is the same. If you search on the internet, there are several sources of some Zurich BT fonts free. However, they may or may not be the same font. Editing is best done on the original document and not the PDF. One of the PDFs I found on the Landis site was only in Zurich font. I would think that the original file is available from the company and that should be the document you edit, not the PDF. It appears the original was created in InDesign (CS3).

[SOLVED] Lousy fonts with .chm viewer for Linux

I installed the .chm file viewer HelpExplorer 3.0 in both Windows XP and Arch Linux (chm = compiled HTML help file). In Windows XP, with default fonts installed, the fonts in text read with this viewer appear crisp, sharp and anti-aliased. In Arch with KDE 3.5.7, on the other hand, the fonts appear fuzzy, grainy and don't seem to be anti-aliased, in contrast with their appearance in all other apps (except for a few such as Dillo) which render text good-looking, sharp and anti-aliased.
HelpExplorer for Linux was provided as a tarball that included a precompiled 'helpexplorer' binary. The program doesn't seem to allow for customizing font settings.
The following fonts are installed in Arch (in /usr/share/fonts/):
ttf-bitstream-vera-1.10-5 is installed by default
gsfonts 8.11-4 is installed by default
PostScript Type 1 fonts installed: Century Schoolbook, Nimbus, URW Bookman, URW Gothic, URW Palladio
ttf-ms-fonts-2.0-1 (Microsoft TTF: Andale Mono, Arial, Comic, Courier, Georgia, Impact, Tahoma, Times New Roman, Trebuchet)
font-bh-ttf-1.0.0-3 (Luxi BH)
xorg-fonts-100dpi-1.0.1-1 (courier, helvetica, lucida, new century, times)

What do I need to do to improve the font appearance in this program in Linux?
Last edited by RobF (2007-10-02 18:06:46)

I found a solution of sorts by installing and running the Windows version of HelpExplorer in Wine or Crossover. There is still very little control over fonts but when I enlarge the default font (with 2x CTRL-+) I do get a nice-looking anti-aliased Times New Roman font, and this solution would be my preferred way of reading .chm files in Linux (i.e. better than KchmViewer or Xchm).
Recap of the problem:
1. The .chm viewer HelpExplorer Viewer 3.0 when installed in Windows XP renders fonts crisp and clear and anti-aliased.
2. The Linux version of HelpExplorer Viewer 3.0 (delivered as a precompiled executable in a tarball) doesn't render fonts antialiased, regardless of what I tried, and they look grainy and unattractive.
3. The Windows version of HelpExplorer Viewer 3.0 when installed and run in Arch in Wine or Crossover does render the default font they offer (looks like Times New Roman) fairly crisp and clear and anti-aliased, at least at the enlarged setting.
Can someone explain to me what might be going on? Why is it that the Linux version cannot render fonts anti-aliased when the Windows version running in the emulator in Linux can? Is there something that I have to change in my fonts config, fonts location, symlinks or path to get the anti-aliased fonts to work in HelpExplorer in Linux?

Font Smoothing in LabView for Linux

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone has been able to get their fonts in LabView for Linux to be either smoothed using Gnomes subpixel smoother for LCDs, or any other type of anti-aliasing. I currently can use truetype fonts in LabView, and for the most part they do look pretty decent.. btu they are not smoothed at all. Every single application I have loaded has smooth fonts other than LabView. Please let me know if anyone has managed to get this working... and if so, how.
I am currently using Gentoo with all of my packages updated less than a month ago, with LabView 8.2
Thanks for any info!

Unfortunately, we do not support fonts on your operating system. Hopefully another customer is more familiar with this.

Backpac: A package state snapshot and restore tool for Arch Linux

backpac:
A package state snapshot and restore tool for Arch Linux with config file save/restore support.
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=52957
https://github.com/altercation/backpac (see readme on the github repository for more information)
Summary & Features
It's a common method of setting up a single system: take some notes about what packages you've installed, what files you've modified.
Backpac creates those notes for you and helps back up important configuration files. Specifically, backpac does the following:
maintains a list of installed groups (based on 80% of group packages being installed)
maintains a list of packages (including official and aur packages, listed separately)
maintains a list of files (manually created)
backs up key config files as detailed in the files list you create
The package, group and files lists along with the snapshot config files allows system state to be easily committed to version control such as git.
Backpac can also use these lists to install packages and files. Essentially, then, backpac takes a snapshot of your system and can recreate that state from the files and lists it archives.
Use Cases
Ongoing system state backup to github
Quick install of new system from existing backpac config
Conform current system to given state in backpac config
Backpac is a very, very lightweight way of saving and restoring system state.
It's not intended for rolling out and maintaining multiple similar systems, it's designed to assist individual users in the maintainance of their own Arch Linux box.
Status
Alpha, release for testing among those interested. Passing all tests right now but will continue to rework and refine. Bug reports needed.
Why?
There are a lot of 'big-iron' solutions to maintaining, backing up and restoring system state. Setting these up for a single system or a handful of personal systems has always seemed like overkill.
There are also some existing pacman list making utilities around, but most of them seem to list either all packages or don't separate the official and aur packages the way I wanted. Some detect group install state, some don't. I wanted all these features in backpac.
Finally, whatever tool I use, I'd like it to be simple (c.f. the Arch Way). Lists that are produced should be human readable, human maintainable and not different from what I'm using in non-automated form. Backpac fulfills these requirements.
Regarding files, I wanted to be able to backup arbitrary system files to a git repository. Tools like etckeeper are interesting but non /etc files in that case aren't backed up (without some link trickery) and there isn't any automatic integration with pacman, so there is no current advantage to using a tool like that. I also like making an explicit list of files to snapshot.
Sample Output
This is the command line report. Additionally, backpac saves this information to the backpac groups, packages and files lists and the files snapshot directory.
$ backpac -Qf
backpac
(-b) Backups ON; Files will be saved in place with backup suffix.
-f Force mode ON; No prompts presented (CAUTION).
(-F) Full Force mode OFF; Prompt displayed before script runs.

firecat53 wrote:I think your plan for handling an AUR_HELPER is good. If AUR_HELPER is defined by the user, then either you might need a list of major AUR helpers and their command line switches so you can pick the correct switch for what needs to be done (most use some variation of -S for installing, but not all), or have the user define the correct switch(es) somehow for their chosen AUR helper.
That's a good idea. I'll add that to my AUR refactoring todo.
I also found directory tracking to be a weakness in other dotfile managers that I tried. I think you would definitely have to recursively list out the contents of a tracked directory and deal with each file individually. Wildcard support would be nice...I just haven't personally found a use case for it yet.
I've been thinking that I could just add the directory and scan through it for any non-default attribute files. If those are found then they get automatically added to the files list. That's pretty close to what etckeeper does.
Edit: I just compiled the dev version and removed my comments for already fixed things...sorry!
The master branch should have those fixes as well, but I didn't update the version number in the package build. I'll have to do that.
1. Still apparently didn't handle the escaped space for this item: (the file does exist on my system)
Ok, good to know. This wildcard directory business will require some new code and refactoring so I'll also rework my filenames handling.
2. Suggestion: you should make that awesome README into a man page!
I was working on one (the pkgbuild has a commented out line for the man page) but I had to leave it for later. Definitely want a man page. Once this stabilizes and I'm sure there aren't any big structural changes, I'll convert it to man format.
3. Suggestion: add the word 'dotfile' into your description somewhere on this page, the github page, and in the package description so people looking for dotfile managers will find it. You could also consider modularizing the script into a dotfile manager and the package manager, so people on other distros could take advantage of your dotfile management scheme.
I actually have a different script for dotfile management that doesn't touch packages, but there is definitely overlap with this one. That script isn't released yet, though, and if people find this useful for dotfile management that's great. I'll add that in.
4. Suggestion: since -Q is a read-only operation, why not just make it run with -f automatically to avoid the prompt?
Originally, running backpac without any command line options produced the Query output. I was concerned that since it is a utility that can potentially overwrite system files, it is important to give users a clear statement prior to execution about what will be done. Since the Query output is essentially the same as the Update and System reports in format and content, I wanted to be explicit about the Query being a passive no-change operation. The current command line options aren't set in stone though. If you feel strongly about it being different, let me know.
Long answer to a short question
5. Another suggestion: any thought to providing some sort of 'scrub' function to remove private information from the stored files if desired? This would be cool for publishing public dotfiles to github. Perhaps a credentials file (I did this with python for my own configs). Probably detecting email addresses and passwords without a scrub file would be rather difficult because dotfiles come in so many flavors.
Yes, absolutely. In fact, if you look at the lib/local file (pretty sure it's in both master and dev branches in this state) you'll see some references to a sanitize function. The idea there is that the user will list out bash associative arrays like this:
SANITIZE_WPA_=(
[FILE]='/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf'
[CMD]='sed s/expungepattern/sanitizedoutput/g'
Question: am I missing an obvious option to remove a file from the files.d directory if I delete it from the files list? Or do I have to delete it manually? It might be helpful to add a section to the README on how to update and delete dotfiles from being tracked, and also a more detailed description of what the -b option does (and what is actually created when it's not used).
You are only missing the function I didn't finish. There should be either dummy code or a TODO in the backpac main script referencing garbage collection, which isn't difficult but I just haven't finished it. The idea being another loop of "hey I found these old files in your files.d, mind if I delete them?" It's on my list and I'll try to get it in asap.
And finally, just out of curiosity, why did you choose to actually copy the files instead of symlink like so many other dotfile managers do?
git not following symlinks, hardlinks also out for permissions issues (git wouldn't be able to read the files, change them, etc.)
I definitely would prefer to not make an entire copy of the file, but I haven't come up with a better option. Shout with ideas, though. Also, if there is a way around the link issues I noted above, let me know. I don't see one but that doesn't mean it's not there.
edit: I think a Seattle area Arch meetup would be cool! Perhaps coffee someplace? Bellevue? U-district? Anyone else? BYOPOL (bring your own pimped out laptop)
A general meetup sounds good. I was also thinking it would be fun to do a mini archcon with some demos.

BO Integration Kit for SAP - Linux

All,
we want to schedule and publish by email reports, created with Crystal Reports 2008 on queries in SAP BW 7.0.
To check the fonctionality we installed Crystal Reports Server 2008 on Linux, Crystal Reports 2008 on Windows. For data access of Crystal Report 2008 to BW we installed the BO Integration Kit for SAP. All software could be downloaded in evaluation versions.
Now we can upload the reports into the CMC of Crystal Reports Server 2008, but when we execute the report, we get the message "failed to load database information". I suppose it is necessary to install the BO Integration Kit for SAP also on the Server side to have data access to BW. Where can I get the evaluation version of BO Instal-lation Kit for SAP for the OS Suse Linux 10.0. ?
Thanks,
Thomas

Hi,
Crystal Reports Server does not support the SAP Integration Kit. You need at least the BusinessObjects Edge or BusinessObjects Enterprise system installed.
You need the server environment and the SAP Integration Kit server components.
you can see the supported platforms at :

Hi all
I'm having the same problem! Im defining a key in "cgicmd.dat" like
my_key : userid=user/pass@db
and Im calling the report using a url like
http://appserver.com/ows-bin/rwcgi60.exe?my_key&report=name.rdf&destype=cache&desformat=pdf&server=Rep60_SERVER
and what I get? Error: "Oracle Reports Server CGI - Reports Server name is not specified."
Ive changed my_key to
my_key : userid=user/pass@db report=name.rdf destype=cache desformat=pdf server=Rep60_SERVER
and works fine ...
Problem:
My problem is that I need to pass more parameters in the url to run the report. Parameters like "p_dept=10"
http://appserver.com/ows-bin/rwcgi60.exe?my_key&p1=something&p2=whatever
Report, however isnt receiving the parameter p1 and p2.
And using the complete url
http://appserver.com/ows-bin/rwcgi60.exe?userid=user/pass@db&report=name.rdf&destype=cache&desformat=pdf&server=Rep60_SERVER&p1=something&p2=whatever
works ...
anyone knows a way to turn this question?
I only need to get the user/pass@db out from the url ....
thanks in advance
Bruno Rabino
Hi Sami
I guess something wrong in your CGICMD.DAT entry
Can you cut and paste what exactly you have in that file for the mapkey
It has to be something like
mapkey: userid=scott/tiger@db

Add a font to report builder?

Is it possible to add a new font to report builder 3.0? I'm new to this and trying to create a report that uses the font Whitney Book (or one similar to it) but I can't figure out how to add it to the report builder.
Thanks in advanced!

Hi Unique DisplayNames,
According to your description, you want to add a font for Reporting Services in Report Builder. Right?
In Reporting Services, open type font is not supported which means we can't add font into Report Builder directly. Since we use standard Windows APIs for fonts, you may need to install the font into Windows (Go to Control Panel->Fonts or add the fonts
into C:\WINDOWS\Fonts). Here has some available info in the following blog:

Text data is not displaying at Report level for an Infoobject Item name

Hi All,
Texts data is maintained at Info object level but text information is not displaying at Report level for an object. I have set the property at query level as "Text", but at report level it is displaying key values of the object, not displaying texts information. This problem occured in QA(Quality) system but not replicated in Production system. I have checked all properties at backend and query level and compared the same between QA and Production system didn't find any difference.
Please suggest what might be the cause: at report level it is displaying key values instead of the textual information even text data is mainintained at backend. In production it is displaying textal data for the IO.
Thanks in advance.

Hi All,
Thanks for your valuable information. I have changed the setting under Advanced tab as "Master data" for Access type for results values, but didn't solved the problem still it showing key information for the IO.
In Production system the report displaying texts information for the IO, but in QA its displaying key information. The problem exits only in QA, its working fine in DEv and Production.
As per my understanding might be the issue with Patches will be checking with Basis team on the same.
Please suggest if you have any alternatives to fix the issue.

Hi Neetu,
Do you wish that at all customer site all concern involved in implemtation do the same work ?
I believe ERP is meant for single entry system, and it should be true for implementation also, why to invest man hours for the same task ?
I expect it standard reports should be released by SAP, so that speed of implementation improve, we have more nos. of satisfied customers.
customised reports is all together different and it is understood that it is needed to be developed after study the exact requirement.

MB5L Report Discrepacy for Material and Stock Account Currency

I have found in the MB Report Discrepancy for Material and Stock Account Currency. Why is this happening? Why is there a variance between total price in materials and stock account? Anyone please help me. I'm abaper but now been pushed to do logistic. I need help for this issue.

Hi,
Here's some information from help. Variances can occur for the following reasons:
You have entered postings to the stock account manually.
The stock account includes not only stock postings, but also other postings. In this case, you should check the account determination in the Customizing for Valuation and Account Assignment. Make sure that the stock accounts are used solely for the transaction key BSX (stock postings).
Check Account Determination - OMWB
The account assignment for the stock accounts (transaction key BSX) was changed during productive operation; the respective stocks, however, were not deducted from the old account (movement type 562) and posted to the new one (movement type 561).
Cheers !
