MICR font Using Bursting Engine

Hi,
Is the setup different to show the MICR font using the Bursting engine ? I tried placing the font file and xdo.cfg file in /$XDO_TOP (as per white paper) but that didn't work
need some suggestions
Thanks
Patrick

Hi Tim,
We are calling the bursting engine from the after report trigger of the .rdf file.
Here is the bursting engine's control file which is called by the java prog. :

Email using Bursting Engine

Hi,
Is there a way to rename the PDF file sent by email using the bursting engine to : {$TRX_NUMBER}.pdf ?
Thanks
Patrick

I have been able to rename the attached documents. After you've declared your DocumentProcessor (and before you call "process()"), you can add a listener (using registerListener(BurstingListener listener)). The listener must implement "BurstingListener" which has the following methods:
public void beforeProcess()
public void afterProcess()
public void beforeProcessRequest(int requestIndex)
public void afterProcessRequest(int requestIndex)
public void beforeProcessDocument(int requestIndex, int documentIndex)
public void afterProcessDocument(int requestIndex,int documentIndex, Vector documentOutputs)
public void beforeDocumentDelivery(int requestIndex, int documentIndex, String deliveryId)
public void afterDocumentDelivery(int requestIndex,int documentIndex, String deliveryId, Object deliveryObject, Vector attachments)
In "afterProcessDocument" you can look at "documentOutputs" which is a Vector of Strings containing the full path (including filename) of the attachments. In this method you can move the file (or copy it) to a filename of your choosing. Then you simply update the Vector with the new filename. And that's it! The renamed file is attached to the email.
Hope this helps.

I have a requirement to add new fonts to use in PDF printing.
1) I have tried to add an MICR font using SE73 and I got the following message.
Error
Licensing: True Type Font must not be embedded.
Question: Is there any restriction on type of fonts that can be added to SAP?
2) I have tried a different font and added it successfully but I dont see the font in Font palette in PDF Layout.
Question: Is there any additional configuration to be done for the font to be visible in PDF - Font palette?
Please help.

Hi,
Go to Character formate in your form.
create a new char formate with enable BAR code AND
you can give its type too.
To Create a Bar code prefix:
1) Go to T-code - SPAD -> Full Administration -> Click on Device Type -> Double click the device for which you wish to create the print control -> Click on Print Control tab ->Click on change mode -> Click the plus sign to add a row or prefix say SBP99 (Prefix must start with SBP) -> save you changes , it will ask for request -> create request and save
2) Now when you go to SE73 if you enter SBP00 for you device it will add the newly created Prefix
Create a character format C1.Assign a barcode to the character format.Check the check box for the barcode.
The place where you are using the field value use like this
<C1> &itab-field& </C1>.
You will get the field value in the form of barcode.
Which barcode printer are you using ? Can you download this file and see.
http://www.servopack.de/Files/HB/ZPLcommands.pdf.
It will give an idea about barcode commands.

Detailed information about SAP Barcodes
A barcode solution consists of the following:
a barcode printer
a barcode reader
a mobile data collection application/program
A barcode label is a special symbology to represent human readable information such as a material number or batch number
in machine readable format.
There are different symbologies for different applications and different industries. Luckily, you need not worry to much about that as the logistics supply chain has mostly standardized on 3 of 9 and 128 barcode symbologies - which all barcode readers support and which SAP support natively in it's printing protocols.
You can print barcodes from SAP by modifying an existing output form.
Behind every output form is a print program that collects all the data and then pass it to the form. The form contains the layout as well as the font, line and paragraph formats. These forms are designed using SAPScript (a very easy but frustratingly simplistic form format language) or SmartForms that is more of a graphical form design tool.
Barcodes are nothing more than a font definition and is part of the style sheet associated with a particular SAPScript form. The most important aspect is to place a parameter in the line of the form that points to the data element that you want to represent as barcode on the form, i.e. material number. Next you need to set the font for that parameter value to one of the supported barcode symbologies.

How to use MICR fonts in Adobe forms (webdynpro java

Hi,
We have a requirement where we need to print some MICR codes (for checks) through Adobe Forms.
I have installed some true type MICR fonts in windows and Adobe Font Manager (in ADS) as well.
It is visible in the Adobe Form design time (Font palette) and when I use the font for text, it is visible in preview too. But when I run the web dynpro application, in the online form it is converted into Standard font (Times new Roman).
Is there anyway to handle this issue.
Please let me know.
I am using NWDS 7.0.1
Adobe Live cycle designer 7.1
SAP NW 2004s SP14

Using the Bursting engine for scheduling the Reports

Hi,
Can we use the Bursting Engine for scheduling the reports? For example I want to run a report in a scheduled time and send the mail to destination. We can do these things in the XML Publisher console. But we need to find any other way to schedule a report.
Thx,
Vijay.

I am looking for the same thing.
I believe the APIs are entirely separate from the functionality in the BIP web application. So that there is no way to programmatically initiate the scheduling of a report/template already defined in the UI via a command line or API call. Is this accurate?
I sort of expected the APIs to have functionality that exposed the features of the web application, as opposed to just exposing the base functionality/engine of BIP.

How to implement MICR Fonts for AP Checks using XML Publisher

Hello -
We are upgrading from Oracle 11.5.9 to R12.1.1
I have created the RTF template for AP checks. Everything works except that now I have ti implement MICR fonts. Our earlier solution was through Optio, which I can not use now.
Please help me find necessary documentation to find ALL of the steps required to implement MICR fonts in the XMLP/RTF/PDF environment. Also, do we have to buy the fonts files, or are they available for free to download. We are using HP-UX 9000.
Thanks

Using MICR in XMLP is like using any other special font (i.e. barcode). Please see below some link on how to have the fonts(MICR) working on your templates. Also, you could buy fonts but may want to try first on the MICR font shipped with the BI Publisher Desktop (i.e. C:\Program Files\Oracle\BI Publisher\BI Publisher Desktop\Template Builder for Word\fonts).

Cheque printing using MICR fonts on HP P3005n series

Hi,
I am doing a HCM implementation on ERP 6.0 ehp3 server. We need to print cheques using the MICR fonts on HP P3005n printer.
I found that MICR_C and MICR_E fonts are already installed in the system. But when we try to print, the MICR characters are not getting printed.
I have tried with different device types like TROYMICR, HPLJMI, HP5MI, ZHPP3005 but no luck. The printer uses the toner MICR-THN-51A
Where could be the problem? Do i need to do some more configuration in SAP or is printer needs to be configured?
Please help me as we are in testing phase and as the cheques are not printed we are stuck.
Is it necessary to use TROY or Jetmobile printer to print MICR characters?
Your inputs will be highly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Naithan,
If you are facing this problem pls install HP default printer in SAP. I hope you will not getting this problem.
Can you tell me the cheque prining setting in DMP printer or Laser printer. Please check this with your abaper programmer. If setting in DMP then you have to use DMP printer.
Regards,
Anil

New Payment process in R12, MICR font dropped by PREPROCESS

Hi,
With the new way of doing Payments in R12, meaning can not use the bursting engine and at the same time CUPS printers, I can't get the MICR font to be on the output .ps file after it goes through the preprocess command of the pasta config file.
Acroread is not longer available on the AIX version we are using and both pdftops (Xpdf) and pdf2ps(Ghostscript) drops the MICR line at the bottom, the rest of the file is good except the last line.
I'm sure we are not the first one trying to print checks in R12 :-)
Is there a nice "how to" that tells how to print AP checks in 12.1.2?
Thanks for your help
Patrick

Hi
The same package "IBY_FD_EXTRACT_EXT_PUB" works for payment process request status report also. Please add the logic to get the distribution data in this package and you will see the new XML tags in this report also.
Hope this helps.

<NI_IND_GLRGNL>
<LIST_G_PARAMATERS>
<G_PARAMATERS>
<EXCEL>Yes</EXCEL>

This file sends me an email regardless of the value in the EXCEL tag. Can someone please tell me how to reference the value of the EXCEL tag properly in the filter?

filter=".//G_PARAMETERS{Excel='Yes'}"
Excel='Yes' should be in square bracket. I am not sure why I am unable to print this in brackets, so replace { bracket with square bracket [

MICR font not displayed in PDF on SUSE Linux Server for Check Writer (XML)

We are generating checks by running the Check Writer(XML) concurrent request and are not able to see MICR fonts on the Check. We downloaded the free version from IDAutomationSMICR.ttf and the fonts were registered under /usr/local/fonts/micr directory. I registered in APPS and uploaded the file IDAutomationSMICR.ttf. Am I missing any steps. The DBA's have registered the fonts under /usr/local/fonts/micr on SUSE Linux Server . The custom Checks are generated but no luck with the fonts. Please advise. Can I download MICR fonts other than IDAutomation site? Appreciate your response.
Thanks,
Hari

I use version 11i, so the steps are probably different. Download a font file (gnuMICR for me). Extract it to a location of your choice on your operating system.
Follow these steps to load the MICR font to the server. (Step 11 was missing in some of the metalink documents in late 2007. I think Jan. 2008 will be OK).
1.     Log in as XML Publisher Administrator.
2.     Navigate to Administration->Font Files->Create Font File.
3.     Fields are Font Name and File. For Font Name choose any descriptive name. File will browse your PC to locate the font file.
4.     Navigate to Font Mappings->Create Font Mapping Set.
5.     Mapping name is the name you will give to a set of fonts. [MICR Font]
6.     Mapping code is the internal name you will give to this set. [MICR]
7.     Type: 'PDF Form' for PDF templates. 'FO to PDF' for all other template types.
8.     Create Font Mapping (this allows you to add multiple fonts to a set).
9.     Font Family is the exact same name you see in Word under Fonts. If you don't use the same name the font will not be picked up at runtime. [GnuMICR]
10.     Style and weight must also match how you use the font in Windows. Normal and Normal are good defaults. [Normal, Normal]
11.     DO NOT enter Language or Territory
12.     Choose a value for Font Type. [Truetype]
13.     Search for the Font you just created in step 3. [GnuMICR]
14.     Navigate to Configuration -> FO Processing -> Font Mapping Set. Can also be done at data def and template level under Edit Configuration. Hierarchy is Site-> Data Def -> Template.
15.     Select your new mapping set.
16.     Make sure the font is not referenced under File->Properties->Custom in the RTF template file.
17.     Select a temporary directory on your concurrent processing node (Configuration -> General). This needs to be a private area not shared by other processes, read writeable by the applmgr (owner of the $APPL_TOP file system). It should be fairly large 5 GB or 20x larger than any datafile being used. The fonts will be downloaded here the first time they are used.
18.     Also at this site level select your font mapping set.
19.     Upload a template that uses your special font and test using preview.

MICR Font is not prviewing in PDF.

Hi Gurus,
Thanks for your all support.
I have a requirement for Check printing to Print the line in MICR font.
I have installed the MICR font in my local machine. I install it in C:\Windows\Font
It got install these TTF files
MICRE13B P2 Tryout - MICRT_P2.TTF
MICRE13B P1 Tryout - MICRT_P1.TTF
MICRE13B M1 Tryout - MICRT_M1.TTF
MICRE13B M2 Tryout - MICRT_M2.TTF
MICRE13B Match Tryout - MICRT13B.TTF
Then in my template I selected the logic where i declare the check number with the Branch number and made the font any of the above font but when I am previewing the Template it is showing in normal font.
Could any body please tell me the steps how do I see the MICR fonts when I am previewing the Template in PDF.
Thanks Advance
Please let me know the solution as soon as possible
Thanks
Nihar

Hi,
To Verify that the MICR font has been installed, Please check in the following locations.
1) “C:\Program Files (x86)\Oracle\BI Publisher\BI Publisher Desktop\Template Builder for Word\fonts”
“C:\Windows\Fonts”
2)Edit the xdo.cfg file located in “C:\Program Files (x86)\Oracle\BI Publisher\BI Publisher Desktop\Template Builder for Word\config”
<config version="1.0.0" xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/oxp/config/">

<properties>


<property name="system-temp-dir">c:/Temp</property>

<property name="pdf-compression">true</property>

<property name="pdf-security">false</property>
<property name="pdf-open-password">user</property>
<property name="pdf-permissions-password">owner</property>
<property name="pdf-no-printing">true</property>
<property name="pdf-no-changing-the-document">true</property>
</properties>

<fonts>

<font family="E-13B" style="normal" weight="normal">
<truetype path="C:\Windows\Fonts\E-13B.ttf" />
</font>
</fonts>
</config>
You may not be able to find the xdo.cfg file in the location, we can modify the xdo_example.cfg file and save it as the xdo.cfg file by using the code above.
FINALLY:
Even after doing the above steps if you are unable to see the MICR font in the preview , Create a ‘Temp’ folder with “T” capitol letters in the root “C:” drive.
This had solved my prob.
Please let me know if it helped you.
Thanks,
Vijay

Bursting Engine with custom WebDAV Delivery Manager Java Program

I have developed A custom WebDAV delivery manager and need to call it when the using the bursting engine. Is there a sample that can show me where to palce the information. I have logged a tar but they asked me to post here to see about getting an example of a bursting control file that can solve my problem. I have created a bursting java program per the users guide chapter 10 and the chapter 11 plus the XMLP blogger for the delivery manager program.
Thanks in advance,
Joe

At present , you can not access the splited XML Data from any of the event. but here is the workaround to reference the required information from XML data.
Suppose you need Element1, Element2, Element2 elements information to push the file to WebDav.
Reference these elements in the file name as variable and parse the resulting output file name in your Java Class. You can also rename the output file with appropriate name before push it to WebDav.
<xapi:filesystem output="c:\burst\output\ACH Remittance #${C_CHECK_NUMBER}_${Element1}_${Element2}_${Element3}.pdf" />
Example :
<xapi:filesystem id="123222" output="d:\burst_test\${EMPNO}_${ENAME}_${MGR}_${EMAIL}" />
The resulting Output file name would be like.. [email protected]
Thanks.

MICR Font for printing payroll checks

We are in the process of changing banks. The new bank has rejected our sample checks because the spacing is too wide. We are supposed to be using MICR font E-13B.
How do I find out what font we're using? And, how do I change the font?

I used the free GnuMICR.ttf from this site: http://sandeen.net/GnuMICR/
The checks were reviewed by a bank and approved.

MICR font problem for check printing in ECC6

Hi All,
I am working of the re-deployment project. Here we are just migrating the objects from 4.6c to ECC6. I am facing the problem with SAP Script for check printing. It is working fine in 4.6c,but it is not working fine in ECC.
We are using HP 8150 printer with TROY magnetic chip and toner. It is working fine for 4.6C, but not for ECC6.
We are using "A" character for "Transit" and "C" character for "On as" in SAP Script. But during printing preview time it is not formatting it in MICR font.
I am working with basis team for font code page 4004. I came to know, it is showing character set in 4.6c with spool administrator tab character set, but this tab page does not showing any character set.
But according basis team, it is existing in ECC. If we will check through SCP it is showing unicode converted code page.
In 4.6c we are using Zee printer driver with Zee family fonts(ZMICR and ZSIGN) but in ECC we are using MICR_E(SAP provided MICR font) in TROY provided printer driver.
I have also come through the SAP note 94233 for MICR printing.
Same problem we are facing with digital signatures. It is not converting digital signature in graphical signature at MICR printer level.
Any help would be appreciated...........!
Thanks
