How to Print a Report from a Windoes2000 Machine to a Network Printer ?

I am using the Print Report VI and I want to print to a network
printer from a Windows 2000 machine.It seems to work only with the
local printer.

Hi,
I have been printing reports to a network printer on Win2K (the network printer was set as default printer).
Do you get any error message?

Print a report from Application Express direct to a CUPS Printer

Hi all, I'm new to this technology, is it possible to print a report from Application Express directly to a CUPS Printer? Can someone tell me in laymans terms how to do it? I find the terminology and documentation less than helpful.

Jeremy,
BI Publisher handles submitting reports directly to a CUPS printer. However, the APEX integration doesn't currently integrate with that portion of BI Publisher.
Here's an options:
Use the Java API of BI Publisher to build a custom Java program that would do this for you. Delivering to CUPS is part of the Java API.

Adobe won't print from a Win7 machine to a networked printer conected to a MAC

Hi,
Does anyone have any suggestions.
I have a printer connected to a Macbook in the study, I can print wirelessly from my Win7 laptop, all other types of file - office docs/web pages/photos etc. So I know the printer is set up correctly.
When trying to print PDFs from Adobe reader, I can see the printer in the printer select drop down, but when I click print - nothing prints. I get the printing diaglog box, but the progress bar doesn't get past 0%.
Also from within Reader, at the print dialog box, i can click the printer properties, and from there print a test page, but the PDFs themsevles just don't print. Also I dont get any error messages to say there has been a problem.
I am v confused, as i said every other program i use works without problem.
I would be most grateful if anyone has any suggestions, as its really starting to bug me and i have lots of PDFs to print!
Thanks in advance
MrUseful -
Though thats probably Mr-NotVery-Useful today!

Hi,
Please try the following steps:
Open the file in Adobe Reader
Click on File menu - Print
In the Print Dialog box, select the Printer and then select Advanced button
In the Advanced print setup, Please check 'Print as Image' (See the Screen shot)
Click Ok and then Click Print.
Let me know if this solves the problem.

Unable to print the reports from Transaction iViews

Hi Experts,
We have configured SAP Transctions iViews in portal. These transactions are basically of reports, when we want to print the report from EP. When clicking on the Print from the Transaction iView we are getting the error "File does not begin with '%PDF".
iView launches in HTML Gui.
When we launch the same report from ECC directly login with GUI we are able to take the print.
Is there any settings need to be maintain in "FRONTEND_PRINT" service.
Thanks
Murthy

Hi,
Check the note Note 1042424 - Printing in WebGUI: Error "File does not begin with '%PDF-'"
This should help resolve the problem.

If You not Use Client Server Application the Also Passing a Host Command in Button-Pressed Event and Run.

How to print BIP reports from Oracle Forms?

Hi all,
I have a question in regards to printing BIP reports from Oracle Forms... We are aiming for a server installation of BIP with integration to Oracle Forms using SSO to handle security. We use Forms built-in web.show_document to render and view the report in PDF/Excel etc... We would like to by pass the viewing and print some of these reports directly to the printer.
Any idea/suggestions how we can go about this?
Thanks in advance for your time.
Yahya

Yahya,
via HTTP it's not possible to send a report directly to the printer. You had to go via the Scheduler, which is able to do that. With the WebService API you can call a report with the Scheduler and Execute Immediate.

I hope i m right forum to ask this question.
we want to do label printing from Crystal reports. data will be present in SAP ECC .
So I below issues
1 ) how to connect SAP ECC database with Crystal Reports.
2 ) how to trigger print output in Crystal reports from ECC , lets say I create a Delivery In ECC , the print output will be issued to Crystal report and I should get a print out Immediately ( for printing - printer will be connected to local system and SAP network printer ) .
I have worked with this type of scenario in smarforms , adobeforms. but not with Crystal Reports ...

Yashpal Gupta.

Hi Yashpal,
First thing you need to do is install the Connector on both your work station where you run Crystal Reports as well as the SAP Server where the data is.
So I moved your post to the SAP Integration Kit forum.
Need to know what version of Crystal Reports you are using?

Printing a report from forms

I would like to print a report from forms without opening reports first. Is this possible and if so how?

From a command-line or .BAT file (assuming Windows and Developer6i) run the following (on a single line). It will go to your default printer.
<ORA_HOME>\bin\rwrun60 <report>.rdf userid=<user>/<pw>@<hoststring> destype=printer batch=yes

How do I launch report from menu using RUN_REPORT_OBJECT?

Hi all,
Re: How do I launch report from menu (and have it print to the screen) using RUN_REPORT_OBJECT?
I am using Oracle 9iAS on Windows 2000 and I have a similar problem with launching reports from the menu. The application should call the report via the RUN_REPORT_OBJECT builtin feature from Forms. The report is never displayed.
The report is in the same folder as the menu form calling it. Do the reports have to be in a specific format? How do I get the report_id?
The name of the report is seconds_calls. No user-specified parameters are passed. Also, the report object in the object navigator in Forms is Report4 (is this relevant?)
When I try to run report via the form using this code:
DECLARE
     report_id REPORT_OBJECT;
     rep_status VARCHAR2(200);
     v_rep VARCHAR2(100);
     report_job_id VARCHAR2(200);
--     job_number NUMBER;
--     server_name VARCHAR2(200) := 'repserver';
BEGIN
     report_id:= FIND_REPORT_OBJECT('seconds_calls');
     rep_status:=REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS(report_job_id);
     v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(report_id);
END;
I get this error message:
FRM-41219 Cannot find report:Invalid ID
And this message
FRM-40738 Argument 1 to builtin RUN_REPORT_OBJECT cannot be null
When I tried to use the same code (above), substituting the object name for the form name,
I got these messages:
FRM-41219 Cannot find report:Invalid ID
FRM-40738 Argument 1 to builtin RUN_REPORT_OBJECT cannot be null
And FRM-10259 Invalid null argument to packaged procedure or function (???)
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Pippa

Philippy,
substr(v_rep,instr(v_rep,'_',-1)+1)
This code extracts the Reports job id from the Reports Server name. The run_report_object() built-in
retrieves e.g. RepServ_9 as a job id, but in Reports9i you only need the '9' as a value to retrieve the
output.
Use the following sample a template. It is a procedure that expects the reports object name, teh reports server name and the
output format as an argument. The call to Web.show_document expects the ReportsSrevices to be accessible from teh same server
(relative addressing is used)
PROCEDURE RUN_REPORT_OBJECT_PROC (vc_reportobj Varchar2, vc_reportserver varchar2, vc_runformat varchar2) IS
v_report_id           Report_Object;
vc_ReportServerJob      VARCHAR2(100); /* unique id for each Report request */
vc_rep_status      VARCHAR2(100); /* status of the Report job */
vjob_id               VARCHAR2(100); /* job_id as number only string*
BEGIN
/* Get a handle to the Report Object itself. */
v_report_id:= FIND_REPORT_OBJECT(vc_reportobj);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(v_report_id,REPORT_COMM_MODE,SYNCHRONOUS);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(v_report_id,REPORT_DESTYPE,CACHE);
/* Define the Report output format and the name of the Reports Server as well as a user-defined parameter, passing the department number from Forms to the Report. We don't need a parameter form to be displayed, and therefore paramform is set to "no". */
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(v_report_id,REPORT_DESFORMAT, vc_runformat);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(v_report_id,REPORT_SERVER, vc_reportserver);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(v_report_id,REPORT_OTHER,      'p_deptno='||:dept.deptno||'paramform=no');
vc_ReportServerJob:=RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(report_id);
/* remove the Reports Server name from teh job id */
vjob_id := substr(vc_ReportServerJob,length(reportserver)+2,length(vc_ReportServerJob));
/* Check the report status if finished. */
vc_rep_status := REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS(vc_ReportServerJob);
IF vc_rep_status='FINISHED' THEN
/* Call the Report output to be displayed in a separate browser window.
The URL for relative addressing is only valid when the Reports Server
is on the same host as the Forms Server. For accessing a Remote Reports
Server on a different machine, you must use the prefix http://hostname:port/ */

Print Message Report from Mobile

Hello...
We need modify standard mobile infrastructure java code...
We need print some report from Mobile Front-end.
Is possible to print all MESSAGE data that we can see from front-end of mobile infrastructure 2.5 ???
thank you very much
Stefano

I haven't really done much enhancements on MAM 2.5, but Im sure sami will let you know where to add the code, or you can review the MAM enhancement guide on the CD.
In regards to printing the PIOS API is pretty simple. If you are using a laptop to print to a normal printer then you can just use the Win32 Drivers..(installed via driver addon from web sap console.)If you are using the handheld you will need to find the appropriate drivers.
Here is some code I used in one of my applications:
 Connector conn = Connector.getInstance();
 DriverInfo[] driverInfo = conn.listDrivers(ConnectionType.PRINTER);
 PrinterParameters params = new PrinterParameters(driverInfo[0]);
 params.setPrinterMode(PrinterParameters.GRAPHIC_MODE);
 GraphicPrinter gp = (GraphicPrinter) conn.open(params);
 File myImage = new File("c:
smalllogo.bmp");
 if (myImage.exists()) {
 float x = 0;
 float y = 50;
 try {
 String[] sFonts =
 gp.getFontConfigurationManager().listFontNames();
 PrinterFont pf = gp.getFont(sFonts[0]);
 gp.drawText(
 pf,
 25,
 25,
 "TO For Delivery # = "
 + dbAccess.getItemFieldValue(arrayItems[0], "VBELN"),
 GraphicPrinter.NO_ROTATION);
 for (i = 0; i < arrayItems.length; i++) {
 gp.drawText(
 pf,
 25,
 y,
 "Delivery Item # = "
 + dbAccess.getItemFieldValue(
 arrayItems,
 "POSNR"),
 GraphicPrinter.NO_ROTATION);
 y = y + 10;
 gp.drawText(
 pf,
 25,
 y,
 "Material # = "
 + dbAccess.getItemFieldValue(
 arrayItems,
 "MATNR"),
 GraphicPrinter.NO_ROTATION);
 y = y + 10;
 gp.drawText(
 pf,
 25,
 y,
 "Quantity to Pick = "
 + dbAccess.getItemFieldValue(
 arrayItems,
 "LFIMG"),
 GraphicPrinter.NO_ROTATION);
 y = y + 25;
 gp.doPrint(1);
 gp.close();
 } catch (Throwable tFile) {
 tFile.printStackTrace();
 }
This should give you an idea, you should also read through the MDK documentation for the printer API (PIOS). Its quite easy to pick up and as long as you have the driver and connector installed it prints right away.(You could also use the Peripheral emulator in
NWDS to test the code first)
Hope this helps,
Wael..

How to move a report from one account to another account

Dear all ,
How to move a reports from one account to another account.
These are reports sent automatically. Unfortunately, I do not know where to find them and how to export to another account.
Puru

Hi,
You can use the Transaction SCC1 to move the data from One Client to Another Client for a Client dependent table.
The data should be present in a Transport and you can import to Transport to any client using SCC1.
Contact the Basis team to know how to use SCC1.
