How to generate PCL files ?

Hello,
We are using PIB 5.6.3 within APPS 11.5.10.2 on RedHat Linux servers.
For printing purpose but also for archiving, we need to generate physical PCL files.
I read many posts on the subject and most of them advise to use ghostscript (GS) so I tried it but the result was not very good :
- the PCL file are too big (3 or 4 times the corresponding PDF size) so it is not good for our archiving system
- the generated PCL files cannot be correctly printed
Maybe I am not calling correctly GS ?
Can anyone working with BIP on APPS indicate to me how to generate correct and optimized PCL files in batch mode ? (with GS or any other tool)
Thanks in advance
K.Helali

Hi
GS is the recommendation fro development right now. They are going to release their own PDF to PCL driver in the near future but for now GS. There are many other customers using GS for PCL generation. I have not heard of customers using it as a format for archiving only printing so I guess size has not been an issue for them - just get it to the printer and delete the PCL after that!
There might be some commercial product out there but I can not recommend any at the moment.

    How to generate MT100 file in XML ?
    Dear All,
    Base:      We are working on ECC 6.0 version and developing B2B with bank.
    Requirement:     For B2B bank requires payment orders in MT100 format wrapped in XML.
    At Present:     I am using PMW format MT100(standard) in payment method. With the use of this format system is generating MT100 text file.
    In this standard PMW format MT100, check box for u201Dmapping using DME engineu201D is not selected. 
    My Try:      I  change in format output from file to XML in Payment Media Format (T. Code OBPM1), but it doesnu2019t work.
    In data medium display (T. Code FDTA) system is showing the following error.
    The XML page cannot be displayed
    Cannot view XML input using style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.
    XML document must have a top level element. Error processing resource 'file:///C:/Users/888881/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Wind...
    In view source system is showing only this,
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    My Question:      How to generate MT100 file in XML ?
    Should I have to create DME Format Tree in ( T. Code DMEE )  and  create new Payment Media Format (T. Code OBPM1), with the mapping using DME engine ?
    Please give your valuable suggesions,
    Thank you,
    Rony

    Hi Prabhu,
    The program SAPFPAYM generates the payment Medium  on the basis of your configuration and background settings, this program does not bydefault give the output in the XML.
    Varient creation for the PMW in T. Code OBPM4, use the same program, which i already done it, even without this it is not be possible to create any payment Medium.

    Hello Guru,
    could you please help with my issue with Fiori Installation.
    We want to install SAP Fiori Front-End (GW+UI) on the Sandbox system with SAP Netweaver 7.3.1. (SP14)
    Gateway component (SAP GW CORE 200 SP10) was installed without any problems.
    But I need to install UI-add-on (NW UI Extensions v1.0) and when I try to install it via SAINT, transaction said me that I need to generate xml-file for it (as in General notes for UI add-on mentioned).
    But I have Solution Manager 7.0.1 and in MOPZ for this version I do not have option  "install Add-on" as it written in Guide for ui add-on installation.
    Could you please help me with advice how to generate xml-file for UI add-on installation on SolMan v.7.0.1?
    If where is no way, but only to upgrade Solution Manager, maybe somebody could give me xml-file for your system (for NW 731) and I will change it to my needs, I will be very grateful!
    Thanks in advance for any help!!!

  • How to generate PNG file to the disk folder by IBOT?

    Is there a piece of code in JavaScript on how to generate PNG file to the disk folder by IBOT?
    thanks a lot

    Please disregard this message. The information below is only semi-accurate. When I get some kinks worked out I'll edit this again. -Bill
    FYI,
    Don't really know if I'm adding anything useful but here it is. I use NetBeans and I simply added an images folder so now I have my package (deckofcards) and a sub package deckofcards.images.
    The image:
    back: Image {
                url: "{__DIR__}images/B.JPG",
                backgroundLoading:true
                placeholder:bind placeholder
            };works and the value of "{__DIR__}images/B.JPG" becomes
    <CARD backUrl="jar:file:/C:/Users/Bill/Documents/NetBeansProjects/DeckOfCards/dist/DeckOfCards.jar!/deckofcards/B.JPG">
      ...when I marshal. That string (backUrl) will unmarshal correctly and can be use in the url variable to display and image too.

  • How to generate XML file based on XSD in SSIS

    please provide step by step process to create xml based on XSD in SSIS  

    Hi hemasankar,
    In SQL Server Integrated Services, we can generate XML Schema (XSD) file based on a XML file with XML Source Editor. If we want to generate XML file based on a XSD file, we can use Generate Sample XML feature in Visual Studio. For more details, please refer
    to the following steps:
    Click on "XML Schema Explorer" or 'Use the XML Schema Explorer...' to open XML Schema Explorer in Visual Studio. 
    If your Schema file is valid and you are having elements, right-click on element and click on "Generate Sample XML", this functionality generates XML file in temp folder and open ups in the XML Editor.
    The following two document about how to generate XML file based on a XSD file are for your reference:

  • How to generate Trace files

    Hi,
    I have a package under which there are some procedures and functions.
    I am supposed to generate the trace files for each run of the procedures in the package.
    How to generate trace files? Pls help me out.
    Thanks in advance
    Regards,
    Vijay

    I dont have access to production server to see the
    trace file. Is there a way to see the content of the
    trace file from client machine?No. At least there isn't one without additional work from your administrator. I remember I've seen somewhere some kind of solution when user_dump_dest is used as oracle directory (specific oracle object) in your db and then use either external tables or utl_file or something like that to read the trace file. Of course this assumes your DBA should do some work before.
    However I'd say that simply getting trace file from server is much easier :)
    Consider, Autotrace option in sqlplus. With the help
    of Autotrace set option, we can see the trace output
    on the sqlplus screen for the anonymous blocks. Different tool, different behaviour.
    Is there a way to see the trace for the stored
    procedures?Explained above.

  • Best Practices:: How to generate XML file from a ResultSet

    Hi all,
    Could someone please suggest the best practices of how to generate an XML file from a resultset? I am developing a web application in Java with Oracle database and one of my tasks is to generate an XML file when the user, for example, click a "download as XML" button on the JSP. The application is basically like an Order with line items. I am using Struts and my first thought has been to have an action class which will extend struts's DownloadAction and through StAX's Iterator API to create an XML file. I intend to have a POJO which will have properties of all columns of my order and line items tables so that for each order I get all line items and:
    1. Write order details then
    2. Through an iterator write line items of that order to an XML file.
    I will greatly appreciate for comments or suggestions on the best way to do this through any pointers on the Web.
    alex

    Use a OracleWebRowSet in which an XML representation of the result set may be obtained.

    hi,
    regarding report, there is a dedicated report forum. you should post there.
    but answer for your question is form is nothing to do with the pdf generation. you can call the report from the as usual.
    In the report you should set the properties like

    desformat to 'pdf'

  • How to generate PDF file from HTML file using Acrobat API's

    Hi,
    I want to generate a PDF file from an HTML file on server side(C# .Net).
    Their is a COM interop called "AcrobatWeb2PDF" availaible but could not find any document regarding how to use it.
    I cant use "Adobe live cycle PDF Generator" as we just have license for Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional.
    Please help...
    Thanks and Regards,
    Anand Mahadik.

    > It is hard to believe that Adobe doesn't provide a toolkit for generating PDF files, so many web based applications have vector based content that needs to be converted to PDF!!!!
    They do, it's just not free (A company in business to make money? I'm sure IBM would never think this way... ;)). As mentioned you have Adobe LiveCycle PDF Generator, which you can customize and extend with Java. You also have the Adobe PDF Library SDK, which is written for use with C/C++ although if you license it from Datalogics (the only company in NA Adobe allows to license the PDF Library) you will also get .NET and Java interfaces (part of the DLE - DataLogics Extensions).
    > There must be a way to generate PDF dynamically on a server or from Javascript!
    JavaScript? Not really, no. As far as I'm aware JavaScript has no file system access capabilities without some form of intermediary (like sending the data to a webservice that writes it out to file). How would you create a PDF file with JavaScript?
    The PDF Standard is also in ISOs hands now (ISO 32000-1:2008), it is no longer owned by Adobe - you can download a copy of the specification from them and write your own library based on that as well.

  • How to generate .sqc file in labview

    Hi All,
            I am using LabVIEW for some test and measurement application and in that we are using sequence file (.SQC) for different UUT's(Unit Under Test) models .
    For each model of  UUT separate Sequence file (.sqc) is to be selected in the labview program. 
    When I opened the sequence file(.sqc) in notepad i can see all the test limits and configurations.But when i edited any part of the sequence file in notepad and select that sequence file Labview application is not working .
    So  I am having following questions?
    What is a .Sqc file?
    How to generate this .Sqc file?
    Is it possible to edit a sequence file?

    Please find the attached .sqc file .You can open it in notepad. The file extension is not .seq but it is .sqc. 
    What I understood is source code is taking configuration details from this file .sqc. So for different UUT's different .sqc files are there.
    Please have a look at this attachment.
