IInfoStore.sendTo(IInfoObjects) - modify format of source document

Hi,
Should I be able to modify the format of an IInfoObject when distributing the object using the IInfoStore.sendTo() method? 
I have tried setting a destination format on IDestination using IFormatInfo.setFormat("CrystalReport", IReportFormatOptions.CeReportFormat.PDF) but this appears to have no impact. I always receive an rpt file and not a PDF version of the report.
What I am trying to do is take an existing report instance and redistribute it in a different format without having to reprocess the job.
Should I be able to do this with the sendTo() method and IDestination formats or in the case of a crystal report would I have to reprocess the instance through the RAS SDK and export to PDF?
Any guidance would be appreciated.
Many Thanks

the sendTo will just send the inforoobject to whatever destination is specified, without any modification to the report format, For formatting the report to a different format that it is currently in you have to reschedule it to a different format or use RAS and export.
Rescheduling an instance will connect to DB and get new data. Exporting with RAS can export the same data to a different format.

  • SAP CLM format in contract documents

    Hello Experts:
    I am creating contract documents with tokens
    1. I created some new fields in company code section:
         a. New field 1 <%New field 1%>
         b. New field 2 <%New field 2%>
         c. New field 3 <%New field 3%>
    2. After I configured tokens to bring the information for the new fields in my contract document
         a. Created  new token in variable library
         b. New token: <%New.token1%>
         c. Source object: Master Agreement
         d. Attribute name: company code
         e. check in advance  object reference
         f. set document with <%New.field1%>
         g. upload sub variable, this include token <%New.field1%>
    3. After this I repeated the same procedure with new field 2 and field 3 creating: <%New.token2%> and <%New.token3%>
    When I tried to add this new token to a contract document I got different format of the document, for example I configured in the following way:
    This contract with the company new field <%new.token1%>, and new field2 <%new.token2%>, and also <%new.token3%>..
    And when I uploaded the document the result was the following:
    This contract with the comapany new fields
    Result 1
    Result 2
    Result 3
    and the new field and also..
    is there a way to fix this issue?
    thanks in advance

    Thanks Gary,
    I solved this issue doing the following:
    Uncheck the options of Generate MS Word 2007 and uncheck Enable MS Word 2007 content controls .
    Now I am having another problem, when I tried to compare the two versions and click on compare button, nothing happens.
    I would appreciate your recommendations.

  • How can I convert my Open Source document files into Word document files? I cannot download Pages since my Macbook Air does not have the most recent software.

    How can I convert my Open Source document files into Word document files? I cannot download Pages since my Macbook Air does not have the most recent software. I downloaded open office to my mac to try and save money. It worked well for a while. Now I get this pop-up message that asks me to "Reopen" and when I select the option, nothing happens. I cannot save my documents anymore and I cannot convert them to word. Help!

    Does OpenOffice output Word documents by default or do you have to select it manually?
    You have 17 options to save as in Open Office, one of which is .doc  files,  yes it needs to be saved manually.
    You may be able to default to DOC, but have not tried same.
    Since Open Office is 99% same as Word, I use it, or Word, either one.  Open Office is a bit less buggy than Word 11'

  • Format of reference document number is invalid  Message no. 8A556

    Dear Expert,
    I have problem while executing transaction Manual Posting incoming invoice with t-code FB60. The error message shown as written above "Format of reference document number is invalid  Message no. 8A556"
    I have check the customizing on document type and number range, they are all standard SAP, nothing strange as far my concern.
    Could any one give any idea on this problem.
    Thanks in advance

    Dear Experts,
    I have tried to investigate this problem but still have no solution for doc. type KR (Posting vendor invoice)
    During investigation on this problem, I did a simulation posting using document type other than KR (assign manually) either by t-cod FB60 or F-02 or F-43, I chose doc. type KA and SA, there is no error when using this doc type, it create Accounting document and Tax line item also appear.
    From the simulation I did with this problem, the  problem seems on Document type KR (default doc. type for Vendor Invoice). I suspect, it might some setting at other modul likely at MM that control the "Reference" field during document entry...  eventhough this field is not set as mandatory at OBA7, it's still saying the same error message.
    Is there anyone have any ideas about problem in document type KR?
    Thanks in advance

  • How to know the source document for pasted page items

    Hi,
    I want to perform some actions on items before they are pasted (look at persistent data stored on the, if a conflict ask the user and either update or reject).
    Believe I'm OK with the paste (document observer, in kBeforeDoMessageBoss where the change is kPasteCmdBoss, set global error code to kCancel to prevent the drop)
    But... I can't think of any way to find the source document since the paste is from the scrap db.  I've tried kCopyCmdBoss in the observer but that isn't hit (maybe I need to observe the scrap?).
    Hope someone can help.
    TIA Ian

    I'm afraid there is no silver bullet.
    Again: Copy - Paste is actually a two-step copy, from source doc to scrap, then from scrap to destination doc. Only few (other) copy operations go straight from doc1 to doc2.
    Just assume the special case that the source doc is already closed and purged for the second copy, your data should by then already be decoupled and self-contained. Besides the user might never actually invoke Paste.
    Until CS2 or CS3 there used to be a subject at the scrap root boss, then it was optimized away, so you can't use observers.
    As already mentioned above, if you have to translate UIDs especially of your own custom boss class, you can use a reference converter to look up the equivalent object in the target db (by name or other criteria) or eventually create it, then provide the replacement UID.
    There might be other means for special objects (text / PasteData, owned item) but I'd have to investigate them myself if I run into the need.

  • How to Modify a Landed Cost Document

    is it possible to modify the landed cost document after journal entry is posted.
    We would like to add a new landed cost component to the document after the journal entry was posted.
    Is there a way to add a new component / cost to the document after the journal entry is posted.

    As far as i know, you can't. Once the journal for the relevant landed costs is posted SBO automaticaly closes the landed costs document. Interviening with this is interviening SAP logic. Higly not advised.

  • SQL Developer 3 EA2 - Problem with formating plsql source code

    I'm using sql developer 3 ea2. I have played with source code formating.
    I have 2 issues with formating in source code editor.
    I have a plsql string like the following extending over several lines.
    s VARCHAR2(2000) := 'SELECT
    col1, col2, col3
    FROM table
    WHERE col4 = :var';The result after apply "format" to my sourcecode ist:
    s VARCHAR2(2000) := 'SELECT
    col1, col2, col3
    FROM table
    WHERE col4 = :var';The second is that sql developer ist camelizing the previous line if I type a whitespace in plsql sourcecode.
    How to switch that off??
    The last issue is realy annoying!
    Christian

    I am having exactly the same problem. Every time you use Format Ctrl/F7 it adds new line feeds. Code starts off as:
    command := '
    select account_status, default_tablespace, temporary_tablespace,
    to_char(created,"YYYY-MON-DD HH24:MI:SS"), profile
    from Dba_Users@@
    where username=:1' ;
    First Format Ctrl/F7 get an extra blank line:
    command := '
    select account_status, default_tablespace, temporary_tablespace,
    to_char(created,"YYYY-MON-DD HH24:MI:SS"), profile
    from Dba_Users@@
    where username=:1' ;
    Then second Format Ctrl/F7, get THREE extra lines!!! It goes exponential!!
    command := '
    select account_status, default_tablespace, temporary_tablespace,
    to_char(created,"YYYY-MON-DD HH24:MI:SS"), profile
    from Dba_Users@@
    where username=:1' ;
    So far I've only really encountered the problem with dynamic SQL, which ignores the extra line feeds.
    i am pretty sure this is a long standing SqlDeveloper Format problem, going back to V2.

    Thanks & Regards,

    Hi Helios,
    Thank you for the update, actually the problem is solved.
    The issue is : Whenever i am trying to show a message in that form using either form personalization or CUSTOM.pll, it is giving the error, if i do any thing else like 'changing the default where clause etc', it is not giving any error. The problem is only with message. Actually my requirement is changing the where clause, which is happening with out any problem. I dropped the idea of showing the message any way.
    This problem is strange. Any ways, i am raising an SR with Oracle.

  • Create fillable form with changing source document

    I want to create a fillable, saveable form in which the source document changes.  Hope I am using the correct verbiage.  Source document meaning the Word document that I convert to a .pdf, which I then use to create the fillable form.  This source document has client/description information that consistently changes.  Is there any way to easily create the fillable form, without having to insert/size/change the text boxes each time (iow, create a whole new form each time)?  I am using Acrobat X.
    Thanks,
    Julie

    If you can have a copy of the original form, create a PDF of the changed form and create a new PDF with a name different that the original form. This will be content layer of the document and not have the form field layer or form fields. You can then open the original PDF form and use the "Document => Replace pages..." to replace the underlying content of the original form while retaining the form field layer. You can now save the revised form. You may need to relocate form form fields due to changes in the form.

    There's GOT to be something to fix. I've been getting that message all night -- when I say "yes" and then try to SAVE the document, it won't give me the option to "save for web."
    I started completely from scratch, and still got the error window, and it still wouldn't let me "save for web."
    So -- let's begin again -- what needs to be fixed?

  • Modifying ALDSP data source end points programmatically

    I can see how to manually modify ALDSP data source end points through the ldconsole:
    http://edocs.bea.com/aldsp/docs21/admin/server.html#1042064
    but is there any programmatic way to do this?
    For my purpose, it would be adequate if there were some Ant tasks to do the job (e.g. like using the "wlconfig" task to tweak JMX attributes).

    You can modify the settings in <adminserverhome>/liquiddata/<yourApp>LDConfig.xml

  • Why doesn't mail merge in Pages reflect changes made to the numbers source document?

    When using mail merge in a Pages envelope document, changes made to its Numbers address source document are not reflected.  I have to create a whole new Pages envelope document and choose the Numbers address source document merge fields all over again.
    I never had any trouble doing this with Word and Exell!  
    What am I doing wrong?

    Denney,
    Mail Merge from Numbers works just as you are trying to use it.
    You create a Numbers document with the proper layout for merging.
    Enter the data in teh numbers document and Save it.
    You create a Pages Document to merge into and create the links to the Numbers document.
    You Edit > Mail Merge in Pages.
    To merge again from the Numbers document, make the necessary edits, Save the Numbers document and do the mail merge again in the Pages document that you created for that purpose. The only problem that normally arises is that we forget to Save the Numbers document after editing.

  • Why can't I change the date format in my documents?

    Good Morning.  I submitted this question yesterday to the iMac forum but no one could help me.  It should  be a very simple thing to do but it escapes me.
    Using 'Insert Date' brings up the long date format i.e.  Tuesday April 16 2013.  I prefer the short format 16.04.13.
    I have tried to change this by going through the procedure System Preferences > Date Time.  The default format in that window is the one I want but it does not appear in my Pages or Numbers documents.  I then tried Systems Preferences > language and Text > Region > Customise I made sure I was in the correct region and selected the short date format.  Still get the long format in the documents.  I can edit this on the fly by right clicking the date but the next time I use 'insert date'  it reverts to the long format.  Now I'm the first to admit I am probably missing something really simple but could somebody plesae point out to me what it is 'cos it's driving me mad.
    Wilf

    Hi Wilfred,
    Three issues here.
    1. Setting the short and long dates in System Preferences. See fruhulda's answer: Copy and paste to shift the dates position. [Nice one, fruhulda!]
    2. Locking those changes in (restart your computer). See Jerry's first answer.
    3. However I do not get that window that you show where it saysset to today and gives you those options which you can tick. This has nothing to do with System Preferences. That window is what you get in Pages when you double-click or right-click or Control-click the date object to bring up the options. See Jerry's last answer.
    If I could try everyones patience a bit further.
    No worries mate.
    Regards, Ian.
