How to enable a printer which was offline for long time?

Hi,
One of our printers has not been used for a long time and was set to be permanently offline. Due to the need of printing, the printer was enabled. It is powered on (and can also be disabled and enabled) but is unable to print.
Is there anything in SAP to check to see why it is failing to print?
I have tried to check the status of this printer with other printer which is working fine. There is no difference in between their settings.
The spool requests are waiting to be printed. I would like to check the ip addresses of the printers. Is it possible to find them through SAP. My O/S is Unix.
Please help me to find the IP addresses of printers attached through SAP and I will try to check them first.
Thanks
Vijay

Hi Vijay,
Check SPAD -> output devices
Check thats the printer is properly setup and it been handled by and active spool server, check that the printer ip-address is correct and the right method is in place.
You can find the ip address of the printer by doing a ping <name of the printer> in a command prompt.

Juan

How osb handle end point offline for long time

Hi all,
In my project, the messages will be sent real time to distributed client, each client is only have one end point, so there is no load balancing could be applied. I already set the retry count, iteration interval and also offline endpoint URIs setting. Will it sufficient, in case the client hang or offline in long time, 2 hours or longer?
How osb keep the message, will the frequent retry process causing performance issue?
Any suggestion for proper configuration in this case?
Really thanks in advanced.

Mr.K

only have one end point, so there is no load balancing could be applied. I already set the retry count, iteration interval and also offline endpoint URIs settingYes rety retry count is efficient when the interval are low..2 hrs or longer is little longer for stateless routing which OSB does.
How osb keep the message, will the frequent retry process causing performance issue?Yes. I guess... OSB will be doing some thing like RequestThread.sleep(...).Again this will be transport to transport related
Any suggestion for proper configuration in this case?Using such long intervals might not scale up

How to stop process chain if it yellow for long time

hello all,
I see that my process chain is running for long time and is yellow for more than last 24 hours now. I can see where the chain is stuck(not going ahead).
What do we normally do in such scenarios?
Also one more question I have is about delete PSA request process variant. Can i use the same variant in two different process chains, is yes than do I have to include the name of the PSA tables that are in both the process chains. When the variant runs in 1st chain does it delete the PSA tables from the second chain as well..(i hope i made this clear)
Thanks in advance

Once you have done with your init load manually. Then in case it was just the start of the process in ur Process Chain then first remove the chain from schedule and then go to the start process of the process chain and save the setting for immediate, uncheck the periodic box and save and then come out of the screen and then execute and activate the chain.
Note:
1. Before changing the setting in the start process make a note of the start time and also its periodic value.
2. Once the chain is completed then change the setting in the start process back to previous start time and periodic value.
3. Dont forget to save and activate the chain.

hi,
Q: How to kill a long running job in SAP.
Answer
You can 'kill' your own long running jobs by doing the following.
Open a new SAP session.
In the new session, from the SAP R/3 screen, follow the menu path: Tools>>Administration
(new screen) Monitoring >>System monitoring>>User overview
Fastpath: /nsm04
Result: the "Overview of Users" screen appears. This is a list of the jobs currently running.
Find your username in the list and click on it
Click on the Sessions button .
Result: the Overview of Sessions screen appears.
Click on the End session button .
hi, ask your BASIS people for killing the job..

How to run ABAP Function Module in Background FOR LONG TIME?

I am not that experienced with ABAP. I am on SAP BI 7.0. I WANT TO RUN A FUNCTION MODULE
RSDRT_INFOCUBE_DATA_COPY.
I used SE37 and then executed the module, I supplied the parameters on the form which opped-up and then program started running. . Program was however interrupted after 10 minutes by ABAP. How can I run it in background without interruption?
THANKS A LOT.

Change parameter rdisp/max_wprun_time.
Default value for this is 600 seconds (10minutes).Change it to a time which you think you need for copying infocube data.
May be 5 hours.
PS:You can not run Function Module in background directly,but you can create a Z* program and call that FM from within that program and then run the program in background.
Hope this answers your query. Best of Luck!
Thanks and Regards

How to enable frontend printing using Adobe Print Forms

Otto Gold at the forum "SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe" gave me the tip that Sandra Rossi in this forum might help me out. Here is the link to my original thread How to enable frontend printing using Adobe Print Forms
My question was:
Hi Experts!
Did anyone of you manage to enable frontend printing using Adobe Print Forms? In order to save administration effort we use frontend printing in our ERP system. We just changed some SMARTFORMS to the new Adobe Forms technology. Now we learned that direct frontend printing does not work with these forms.
Any help will be very much appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Gerald

I think you'll be disappointed by a rather negative answer but I'll try to explain everything I know (or think I know) the best I can
The simplest solution is to do a preview, and print from Adobe Reader! (as I could see on one project, users have to display one more dialog than usually to print) It's the best workaround according to me.
How Adobe form printing works:
When you print an Adobe form from SAP, a printer language (PCL, PS, ZPL, PDF) is retrieved from TSP0B table according to the device type, ADS (Adobe Document Services, installed in the SAP java stack) is then contacted to generate the form: a file corresponding to the printer language is generated and sent back to SAP (there are also 2 other little files but it's of none interest here). SAP stores it as a file (named SPOOL...) in the global directory (DIR_GLOBAL when you use AL11 transaction).
When you ask SAP to print it, it sends the file as is to the printer.
Note: when you ask SAP to display the spool, SAP sends a request to ADS which will send back a PDF (binary stream which is not stored on disk, just displayed on frontend).
How frontend printing works:
If you want to print a normal spool via frontend, SAP doesn't know the language of the printer you will choose. SAP sends the spool in a format named SAPWIN to a frontend program named SAPLPD, it converts the SAPWIN format into GDI, a Windows format that is understood by all printer drivers, and it is sent to the printer driver (you have selected) which converts the GDI format into the printer language.
Any workaround?
First possibility would be that ADS converts the PDF into SAPWIN format (by creating an Adobe .XDC file at the ADS side). SAP says it's not possible in Note 685571 - Printing PDF-based forms. As I understand, SAPWIN is a very simple language compared to PCL for example, so it is very difficult to convert a PDF to SAPWIN without losing much information. There's a SAP note about the SAPWIN language if you want to check.
Second possibility is to print directly the PDF through Adobe Reader: you get the PDF from ADS, download it to the frontend (easy), and execute directly Adobe Reader print function. Unfortunately, I don't know if it's possible. Moreover, we should enhance the standard SAP print dialog...
Third possibility is the one I recommended at the beginning of this post

How to enable the print & archive button that appear in the smartform outpu

How to enable the print & archive button that appear in the smartform output.....

Hi,
I agree with the details which has been given above, but still if you want to default option 3 "Print & Archive" in drop down, it is possible.
All you need to do is to set the value of output_options structure field "TDARMOD" as "3" while passing the parameters to dynamic function module of smartform.
That will select "Print and Archive" in background and display to user.

How can I unmark photos which are marked for republish to Flickr?

I am currently using Lightroom 3 to publish photos to Flickr. I have a free Flickr account.
My problem is that I have a set of photos I am publishing to flickr. For some reason some of my photos lost their keywords, only the files on my computer lost them, the photos on Flickr still have the keywords intact. Also I applied a colour code to a couple of the photos on my hard disk that are being published to Flickr.
Now Lightroom has detected these changes and the photos appear under 'Modified Photos to repblish' the thing is the changes I made were either putting keywords back in that were already in Flickr anyway, and colour coding which makes no different to flickr. Because I have a free account if I republish the photos I will lose all the comments and stats on Flickr, so I don't want to republish them.
Whenever I click the publish button I get a warning that republishing the changed photos will lose any information on flickr and I have the option to skip them, and just publish new photos. But if I ever do want to republish a photo I won't be able to do this without also republishing all the photos marked for republish.
Is there any way I can remove these photos from the republish list?

All,
This is an issue with the LR programming, as it does NOT allow you to unmark images it feels need to be republished. Oftentimes it's only a matter of adding a keyword or tweaking the develop settings that triggers this. I for one wish that choice was available.
Here's what you can do: simply disconnect from the Flickr service. Doing so will have NO detrimental effect on the images in Lightroom or the images you have already uploaded to Flickr. What you will lose, however, is the "library" of images that you have already uploaded to Flickr. Since this is really only a collection there's no harm. Besides, if you need to review which of your images have been uploaded to Flickr at a later time, just reference Flickr. Oh, you'll also lose Lightroom's ability to download any comments your Flickr contacts make on your uploaded images. If it's important for you have that data in Lightroom, rethink the disconnect option. After disconnecting, reconnect using the same parameters you had before. Your Lightroom/Flicker collection will be cleared of all previously uploaded images and you can begin adding new images to upload.
Again, disconnecting has no effect on your Flickr content. However, if you REMOVE images from the collection using Lightroom, they will also be removed from Flickr. Please understand the distinction between disconnecting from the Service and removal of images using Lightroom.
All that being said, republishing images from Lightroom to Flickr, in my experience, should not cost you anything in terms of number of views, favorites, comments, etc. It should be seamless.

Subject: How can I unmark photos which are marked for republish to Flickr?
Hi,
I'm using LR 3.2 and am having the same issue. I see that no one from Adobe has replied to this and that the previous reply was from August, 2010. There seem to be no answers to this one...
I have several images that LR feels should be republished, and ONE image that I want to republish. I CAN'T republish just that one image though without republishing ALL the other images.
Can someone (maybe someone from Adobe) help me with this? How can I simply UNmark the other images to not be republished? I do not want to remove them from the collection, but simply do not want to republish them at this time.
Why can't Adobe simply ask us if an image should be republished or not? Why can't they allow us to UNmark an image to be republished once it's marked?
Ideas?? HELP!
Thanks!

I CANNOT PRINT FROM MY IPHONE 4 TO MY BROTHER 8890DW PRINTER WHICH IS CONNECTED TO MY TIME CAPSULE/NETWORK VIA ETHERNET CABLE???

Why can’t I print from my iPhone 4 to my brother 8890dw printer which is connected to my time capsule/network via ethernet cable??? My iPhone does not even locate my printer,even though I have no problem printing from my Mac to the same printer.

Typing in all caps indicates shouting, is considered rude and is difficult to read. Many simply do not read such posts.

Since purchasing the Note 3 in October i have had nothing but issues. I went through all the steps and eventually I was sent a different phone, which was working for the most part until the recent upgrade. Now I am back to the old issues, no service, it actually says not moblie network available, when everyone else in my family has coverage and are on my plan with iphones. I am missing text messages and dropping calls left and right. This is unacceptable for the cost of this phone and my service. I have did a hard reset etc. What else can I do??
