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.

  • GLM - Spool management - Slow printing standard  - High Volume Printing??

    I've seen a couple OSS notes referencing performance on Spool management for GLM, but I need to ask about HVP.. I was told this was the only way to allow the printing of sequence or serial number processing to print quicker..
    Here is my issue.  We have used serial numbers symbols on our labels with the following configuration to allow the label to print in sequential order based on the number of labels needed.
    Meaning if we have 10 labels to print, we use this serial number symbol to print 1 of 10, 2 of 10, 3 of 10, etc...
    Here is the symbol code we have on our template.
    @TD_LBLSRN(ID=02EHS_SERNO1)  of @TD_SRNEND(ID=02EHS_SERNO1)
    Now by doing this, it slows the printing of the label considerably. Without this, labels print 1 every 2 seconds or so, but with the serial number sequence, it prints 1 label every 20-30 second and we print thousand of labels at a time.  So it takes a really long time.. The issue is the labels and the serial number sequence is being spooled up and basically printing a label after WWI process the 1 of 10, then processes 2 of 10, then etc...
    How can we speed this up?  I heard HVP, but this solution is extremely expensive.. Is there any other solution?

    Hello Keith,
    GLM replicates the static part of the label and adds after wards the sequence number to each generated page. This is needed; because GLM uses the MS Windows standard print technology which does not foresee optimized sequence numbering. The advantage is that it will work for all printer types with a MS Windows printer driver but the disadvantage is the increasing data volume and the longer processing times.
    The HVP functionality is available for thermo transfer printers of Zebra, Pago, Tec or printers which can understand the ZPL printer language. The HVP is part of the GLM pre-defined service from SAP since January.
    The HVP functionality will pass the sequence number parameters to a special printer driver which uses special functionality of the printer hardware to do the sequence numbering. The printer driver load the static part of the label to the printer first and send then only the sequence number as a dynamic part for each copy. So finally this will reduce the data volume nearly to one copy of your label.
    I donu2019t think that there is really a good technical alternative to HVP at the moment but some MS Windows printer drivers have the possibility to send hardware commands in advance of a print job. This might be an option to initiate a sequence number counter on the printer hardware an doing the numbering in that way. I never tried it in this way but this is the only option without HVP I see at the moment.

    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&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.
    C.B.
    PS: may be check as well: consolut - EHS_MD_140_01 - EH&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.

  • Question on QoS for File-- SOAP synchronous high volume interface

    Is it possible to have a File to SOAP (sender file adapter --> receiver SOAP adapter, synchronous - response needed by sender ) scenario with FIFO (first in first out). This is a high volume interface (about 8 messages/second). If FIFO possible, will a failed message block the succeeding messages?
    My understanding is that QoS of receiver SOAP CC is Best Effort.
    Thank you.

    yes..EOIO will block the queues if its predecessor are not in final state...
    for ur design u can rfer the below wiki...instead of RFC u can use soap adapter..

  • CCM 2.0 - Files Storage for high volume of files

    Hi all,
    I have seen in one message the following information:
    <i>1. Files storage.
    My point is that I think you've created a virtual folder on the SRM Server in SICF, which means that all your files are stored internally in the database, and not physically on the server.
    The most simple way is to create a physical folder on the server OS, and then create analias in SICF to this folder. You then will be abble to load in mass the pictures on the server using FTP, or network Share.</i>
    I want to upload images in the Catalog (CCM 2.0) and in my case I have high volume of files. Where is the best place to stored this data, in the database or in the server?
    And if it is in the server, how I can create an alias?
    Many thanks!!
    Regards

    Hi ,
    What we had done for image upload for CCM 2.0 was like this:
    1. in SE80 go to MIME repository -> drill down to services -> bc /sap/bsp - >Create a personal folder
    2. Import your image .jpeg in this folder.
    3. Derive an URL with the structue : server name/domain name/services/file name
    4. test this URL in IE browser ,it should open the picture in IE for you.
    5. then paste this URL in the characteristic 'image' of an item in master catalog in CAT
    with this in EBP we could see the photos of the items.

  • Indesign cc export pdf presets for Press Quality and High Quality Print are missing.

    I no longer have the options for Press Quality or High Quality Print in exporting a PDF. Is that intentional? Can I get them back?

    The first thing to try is repalcing the preferences and restarting the computer. See Replace Your Preferences

  • Oracle database integration with SAP PI for high volume & Complex Structure

    Hi
    We have requirement for integrating oracle database to SAP PI 7.0 for sending data which is eventually transferred to multiple receivers. The involved data structure is hugely complex (around 18 child tables) with high volume processing requirement (100K+ objects need to be processed in 6-7 hours). We need to implement logic for prioritizing the object i.e. high priority objects must be processed first and then objects with normal priority.
    We could think of implementing this kind of logic in database procedures (at least it provides flexibility for implementing data selection logic as well as processed data can be marked as success in the same SP) but since PI sender adapter doesn't support calling Oracle stored procedures currently so this option is rules out. we can try implementing complex data selection using oracle table function but table function doesn't allow any SQL query which changes data (UPDATE, INSERT, DELETE etc) so it is impossible to mark selected objects in table function from PI communication channel "Update Query" option.
    Also, we need to make sure that we are not processing all the objects at once as message size for 20 objects can vary from 100 KB to 15 MB which could really lead to serious performance issues for bigger messages.
    Please share any implementation experience for handling issues:
    1 - Database Integration involving Oracle at sender side
    2 - Complex Data structures
    3 - High Volume Processing
    4 - Controlled data selection from database to contro the message size in PI
    Thanks,
    Panchdev

    Hi,
          We can call the stored procedure using receiver adapter using ccBPM, we can follow different approaches for reading the data in this case.
    a) In this  a ccBPM instance needs to be triggered using some dummy message, after receiving this message the ccBPM can make  a sync call to the Oracle database the store procedure(this can be done using the specific receiver data type strucure), on getting the response message the ccBPM  can then proceed with the further steps.The stored procedure needs to be optimized for improving the performance as the mapping complexity will largely get affected by the structure in which the stored procedure returns the message.Prioritization of the objects can be handled in the stored procedure.
    b) In this a ccBPM instance can first read data from the header level table, then it can make subsequent sync calls to Oracle tables for reading data from the child tables.This approach is less suitable for this interface as the number child tables is big.

  • Architecture/design for high volume web service calls from on Demand

    Hi,
    We have hundreds of end users (less than 600 users) that will be initiating web service calls from On Demand that will deal with both querying (stateful transaction) and inserting/updating data (stateless). Currently, we see a limitation on the number of stateless sessions (33) that can initiate web service calls. We are afraid this will lead to poor performance with the number of sessions that are allocated for stateless sessions.
    Can someone provide any design or framework information that can be implemented for high volume web service calls from On Demand? We anticipate 35K+ web service calls that will be initiated from On Demand per hour.
    Thanks.

  • What is best all in one printer for my new MacBook Pro ? Needs to make very high quality photos.

    What is best all in one printer for my new MacBook Pro ? Needs to make very high quality photos. Using USB connection.

    That's a difficult one but I'd always go for HP as they make so many excellent models that you'll always be able to buy the cartridges from almost anyone.  Theyre darn good printer too.  I have four in the office here and one of them is a very neat flatbed with exceptionally high tonal qualities.  One of their cheaper models is the HP 5520 A4 inkjet all-in-one - CMYK.  Good value at £70 and 4800 x 1200 DPI. 

  • Making a high resolution CD for printing

    I'm new to the digital photography world. What is the best way to transfer my high resolution raw files onto a cd that will produce high resolution prints?  Do they remain Raw files or should they get converted to something else?

    RAW describes a family of proprietary sensor data file formats.  RAW are not image-formatted files.  They must be converted to an image format file.  The standard for lossless formatting is TIFF.  The standard for lossy formatting (excellent to use when there is a cost to storage and transmission, such as on the Web) is JPG.
    No image-format files are sent as they are to a printer.  Your image program uses a print engine and information (or assumptions) about the printer to create a print file that gets sent to the printer.  If you use a commercial printing service, it should tell you the file format it needs.  It can even supply printer profiles for you to use in Aperture to soft-proof your Images (soft-proofing shows you on-screen what your Image should look like when printed on a specific printer and on a specific paper).
    There is no best way to transfer files.  You can e-mail them, copy them to a thumb drive and send the drive, put them somewhere on the Web they can be retrieved, etc.
    From a practical point of view, your next step is to determine how you are going to print.  You can, of course, print directly from Aperture.
    Note that in order to have your on-screen Images look like your printed Images, you will have to use a hardware calibrator and have a display that can be calibrated.  A color-calibrated workflow, from capture to print, is expensive to set up and expensive to maintain.

  • All in One oversized printer for scrapbooking

    Hi.  I am looking for an all in one printer/copier/scanner AND to be able to print my 12' X 12" layouts.  Do you guys have ANY idea where I can find one?  I have been searching the internet all day and am frustrated!  Thanks for your help!!
    Sherrie

    Hey Sherriedulany,
    There are plenty of all-in-one printers made, but the problem is finding one that can print a twelve foot by twelve inch layout. To do this you will need a printer that accepts roll paper, and unfortunately the only printers that accept roll paper are high end photo printers that don't have a scanner, fax, or copier built in. I would suggest getting a dedicated photo printer for your layouts, and an all-in-one printer for your general home/office needs. A very nice photo printer that Best Buy® sells that should meet your needs is the HP Designjet 90, which accepts 18 inch roll paper. I hope this helps out!

  • Tool to export and import high volume data from/to Oracle and MS Excel

    We are using certain reports (developed in XLS and CSV) to extract more than 500K to 1M records in single report. There around 1000 reports generated daily. The business users review those reports and apply certain rules to identify exceptions then they apply those corrections back to the system through XL upload.
    The XL reports are developed in TIBCO BW and deployed in AMX platform. The user interface is running on TIBCO GI.
    Database Version: Oracle 11.2.0.3.0 (RAC - 2 node)
    The inputs around following points will be of great help:
    1) Recommendation to handle such higher volumes reports and mechanism to apply bulk correction back to system?
    2) Suggestions for any Oracle tool or third party tool

    If you were to install Oracle client software on the PC where EXCEL is installed,
    then you can utilize ODBC such that Excel can connect directly to the DB & issue SQL.

Maybe you are looking for
