How to pass printer name as a parameter to Bursting control file

We are on 11.5.10.2 using XML Publisher 5.6.3. We ahve a requirement, where we need to print our invoices to different printers.

If it can, can you please provide some examples.

Hi.
I have created Formula column and it is coming in xml data.
Like this way
<CP_TAX_NO>CZ27813941</CP_TAX_NO>
<CP_CUST_TAX_REG>CZ680527617</CP_CUST_TAX_REG>
<CF_PRINTER_NAME>ABC_hp4250</CF_PRINTER_NAME>
<C_REQ_ID>12310217</C_REQ_ID>
</ISOPTWSHRDPAK>
But while i passed it bursting directory, it is not printing, if i hardcode over there then it is printing.
Bursting file code
<xapi:delivery>
<xapi:print id="printer1" printer="ipp://localhost:631/printers/${CF_PRINTER_NAME}" copies="1" />
</xapi:delivery>
In bursting program file It is display like :
[1]printer-uri:ipp://localhost:631/printers/null
If i pass hardcode value instead of cf_printer_name then it is working fine
[1]printer-uri:ipp://localhost:631/printers/ABC_hp4250
Pls suggest what to do?

Passing Printer as a parameter in the bursting control file

One of our requirements is to print our report on different printers based on the user input. To acheive this, I am passing printer name as one of the parameter in our concurrent process. In the bursting java process, I set the properties as
Properties prop= new Properties();
prop.put("user-variable:PRINTER_NAME","ipp://146.141.12.128/printers/lp1");
dp.setConfig(prop);
dp.process();
In the control file, I am pasing print delivery as :
<xapi:print id="printer1" printer="$(PRINTER_NAME)" copies="1" />
The system throws an error 'java string out of expection' and takes PRINTER_NAME as null in the print delivery. The same thing works perfeclty for E-Mail server if I pass name of the e-mail server in parameter and in the java and control file..I make the following changes:
Properties prop= new Properties();
prop.put("user-variable:SERVER_NAME","cns.wits.ac.za");
dp.setConfig(prop);
dp.process();
<xapi:delivery>
<xapi:email server="$(SERVER_NAME)" port="25"
from="[email protected]" reply-to ="">
<xapi:message id="123" to="${EMAIL}"
Can anybody please help me with this..Has anybody tried passing printer as a parameter in the control file..

Try curly brackets i.e. ${PRINTER_NAME} instead of $(PRINTER_NAME).

Hello,
Using dynamic sql you can pass column name to function. well I am not getting what you really want to do ? Please write in more detail. By the way I am providing one example here. see it uses dynamic sql.
Create or replace function fun_updtest (p_columnname_varchar2 in varchar2,
p_value_number in number)
return number is
v_stmt varchar2(500);
begin
v_stmt := 'update emp
set '||p_columnname_varchar2||' = '||to_char(p_value_number)||'
where empno = 7369';
execute immediate v_stmt;
return 0;
commit;
end;
call to this function can be like this..
declare
v_number number;
begin
v_number := fun_updtest('SAL',5000);
end;

Pass table name as a parameter to function

Is there a way to pass table name as a parameter to functions? Then update the table in the function.
Thanks a lot.

Hi, Harm,
Thank you very much for your suggestion and example. But to get my program work, i need to realise code like follows:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION delstu_func(stuno char) RETURN NUMBER AS
BEGIN
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'DELETE FROM student s' ||
'WHERE' || 's.student_number' || '=' || stuno;
LOOP
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('record deleted');
END LOOP;
END;
SELECT delstu_func('s11') FROM STUDENT;
The intention is to check if such a function can perform operations such as update, delete and insert on occurence of certain values. When executing the above statement, the system returns an error message:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended
ORA-06512: at "SCMJD1.DELSTU_FUNC", line 3
Could you tell me where is wrong?

thanks for your reply
i 'm doing what exactly you mention here .
my problem here is
i have 15 columns
i am executing a query based on the values of the column(column name) in the target page
1)here i am passing(all) the column values to the next page-but i want to pass only one column values(column name)
when i click on any cell of that column
OR
2)i can pass all column name to target page -there(in the target page) i can filter out
i think option 1 would good if you filter out the unwanted columns

you need to negotiate Authentication in ur applet code...
          For example:
          If u r using Form based auth u need to send Post a request with j_user_name &
          j_password to the action j_security_check. and when server returns back the
          cookie
          u need to hold it and pass that cookie to the each and every request made to the
          protected application.
          Basically u need to imitate the browser.

Issue in Printing, using Bursting control file

Hello All,
We are using bursting control file to print and email. Email option is working fine. But when it comes to printing, it is printing "PDF file not printed. 128MB of memory is required to enable direct PDF printing" in the printout.
We are using CUPS and below is the path we are using for printing,
ipp://localhost:631/printers/YG_MAIN
When we try to run the same program manually, by giving the printer name and number of copies to 1, then we are able to see the pdf output. Other normal bi publisher reports are also working fine, w.r.t that printer. We are facing this issue only when we are running xml bursting program, with print option.
Any suggestions please..
Here is the full bursting control file,
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xapi:requestset xmlns:xapi="http://xmlns.oracle.com/oxp/xapi">
<xapi:globalData location="stream">

</xapi:requestset>

BI Publisher bursting to CUPS printer doesn't use PASTA, so output doesn't get converted from PDF to Postscript which it does when you run it through concurrent manager.
You can put an entry in the $XDO_TOP/resource/xdodelivery.cfg as follows (replace for your printer):
<pre>
<server name="MYPRINTER" type="ipp_printer" default="true">
<uri>ipp://mycupsserver.mydomain:631/printers/MYPRINTER</uri>
<filter>/usr/local/bin/pdf2ps -paper A4 {infile} {outfile}</filter>
</server>
</pre>

Hi Hussein,
Yes, I am able to print seed concurrent report (o/p -text) to that printer (method:- giving the printer name and copies by clicking " Option " in SRS window.. )
When i do the same for xml publisher publisher report to the same printer , its not working using bursting control file.
I too made the test in xml publisher report without bursting control file , there i faced another new issue. Let me explain
1. We are using RDF as data source . here o/p :-" XML "
2. We are using RTF as layout. In template definition, i chose the default o/p type as :- "HTML"
3. When i submit the request, i choose the printer which is working fine for printing seeded report. (method:- giving the printer name and copies by clicking " Option " in SRS window.. )
4. My printer getting prints HTML tag, instead of desired o/p. I wondered after seeing the printout.
5. I cross checked by clicking view output, its showing me the exact html output as per RTF layout.
Dont know wat happening ??? Help me out.
i did the same for changing default output type in template definition to RTF,PDF.. its printing source code of the output type instead of printing output.
Thanks & Regards,
--Ben

How to remove bursting control file?

Hi,
I attached a bursting control file to a data definition to test the functionality. Now I want to get rid of it, unfortunately I don't see a delete button or anything similar in XML Publisher Administrator. How can I delete the file?
Thanks,
Arthur

Hi Arthur,
unfortunately, you can't set any inactive_date or delete the file on the whole. But you can, if you have access to the database the following option, to vanish the file:
DELETE
FROM XDO_LOBS
WHERE LOB_CODE=<DATA_DEFINITION_CODE>
AND LOB_TYPE='BURSTING_FILE';

HOW TO PASS SELECT-OPTIONS AS IMPORT PARAMETER TO A CLASS

Hi experts,how to pass select options value as a export parameters to a zclass.
can give me some idea.
Thanks
sai

As Sachin already said, selection options are stored in an internal table. You can reconstruct the table type without the corresponding input fields using the type addition RANGE OF.
So - assuming you have the following in your program:
DATA: wa TYPE sflight.
SELECT-OPTIONS so_car FOR sflight-carrid.
you can create a publically-visible type in your class using direct type entry and the code
TYPES: my_selectoption TYPE RANGE OF sflight-carrid.
and use this to define the importing parameter of the method.
The only other thing you have to remember is that select-options generates an internal table with header line. Thereore, to pass the table to the method, you would use (in the above example) so_car[], and not just the name of the select-option.
Hope this helps.
Regards
Jon.

How to pass value to select-option parameter using SET PARAMETER Command

Hi,
Am passing values to selection-screen fields in report RV13A004 ( used in VK11, VK12 and VK13). using below statement but material number is select-option in this report. am able to pass MATERIAL FROM using SET PARAMETER ID, can i know how to pass values MATERIAL TO range in select-options fields using SET PARAMETER Command ??
Passing values to parameter id
set parameter id 'VKS' field kschl.
set parameter id 'VKO' field vkorg.
set parameter id 'VTW' field vtweg.
set parameter id 'KDA' field erdat.
set parameter id 'MAT' field matnr_from.
Change condition price.
call transaction 'VK12' and skip first screen.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Balamurugan.

Hi,
instead of using set parameters and dden call transaction use this..........
submit RV13A004 WITH SELECTION-TABLE rspar
Effect
If you specify this addition, parameters and selection criteria on the selection screen are supplied from an internal table rspar. You must specify an internal table with the row type RSPARAMS for rspar. The structured data type RSPARAMS is defined in the ABAP Dictionary and has the following components, all of which are data type CHAR:
SELNAME (length 8),
KIND (length 1),
SIGN (length 1),
OPTION (length 2),
LOW (length 45),
HIGH (length 45).
To supply parameters and selection criteria for the selection screen with specific values, the lines in the internal table rspar must contain the following values:
SELNAME must contain the name of a parameter or selection criterion for the selection screen in block capitals
KIND must contain the type of selection screen component (P for parameters, S for selection criteria)
SIGN, OPTION, LOW, and HIGH must contain the values specified for the selection table columns that have the same names as the selection criteria; in the case of parameters, the value must be specified in LOW and all other components are ignored.
If the name of a selection criterion is repeated in rspar, this defines a selection table containing several lines and passes it on to the selection criterion. If parameter names occur several times, the last value is passed on to the parameter.
The contents of the parameters or selection tables for the current program can be entered in the table by the function module RS_REFRESH_FROM_SELECTOPTIONS.
Notes
In contrast to selection tables, the data types of the components LOW and HIGH in table rspar are always of type CHAR and are converted to the type of the parameter or selection criterion during transfer, if necessary.
When entering values, you must ensure that these are entered in the internal format of the ABAP values, and not in the output format of the screen display.
Cheers
Will.
