Oracle Report Printing

Hi, there,
I'm having a problem printing Reports:
Click print button on previewer, get error "Oracle Printing/Can't open AFM file(s): myungjo."
Click OK on error popup and report gets printed.
How do I get rid off that error message?
Thanks!
WL

I guess you are running on Unix? AFM files are font metric files. The files are found in $ORACLE_HOME/guicommon2/tk21/admin/AFM.

Oracle Reports printer setup

Hi Guys.
I am an Oracle Applications DBA and I know how to setup printing in Oracle Applications.
However, our client has got one installation of Oracle Application Server 10g and has deployed Oracle Forms and Reports Services.
They have configured printing for Oracle Reports for their setup, which I am not aware of how they did or how it is done in Oracle Forms and Reports.
The problems at hand are -
Problem number 1 - Over here a line printer i.e. 132 column one has been attached to the 10g Application Server from the USb port. The Application server is on Windows 2003 server machine. When we fire reports we can see in print queue request being fired but no putput is coming. If we open Reports builder on a developer machine and from there we fire we do get print out but this time developers machine Print dialoag comes. On developer machine we have mapped to same printer which is attached to the 10g AS machine
Problem number 2 - As mentioned earlier its a 132 column printer so what is the paper size to be picked. From articles it is Letter paper size or US Std Fanfold paper size.
Problem Number 3 - Suppose we try Arabic report since its arabic in the report designer we change direction to Right To Left, if we fire this report some columns almost 20 characters are cut -off. If we fire same report with default direction set in designer, whole data comes
Problem number 4 - If we give output to Excel or PDF i.e. Desformat Spreadsheet or PDF, the arabic data all come out rubbish junk.
Apart from getting help on the above mentioned issues, I would request you guys to help me in finding out how to setup the printing for standalone application server forms and reports.
Thanks,
Muneer.

hello,
submitting your report in the url using a key (yourKey) defined in the cgicmd.dat file would look like

Oracle Reports -- printing 1/3 the way down the second page.

I modifying an Oracle Report that outputs a rtf-formmated word doc. When things go to the second page (because things on the first page have fully occupied the first page), they always appear 1/3 down the page. I would like them to be close to the top of the page as possible. Does anybody have any suggestions or ideas on how this should work?
thanks
Dan

Hi Dan,
I modifying an Oracle Report that outputs a rtf-formmated word doc. I did not get your above point
When things go to the second page (because things on the first page have fully occupied the first page), they always appear 1/3 down the page. I would like them to be close to the top of the page as possible. Does anybody have any suggestions or ideas on how this should work?As for this case there might be frames or Items displayed (Print Object On - First Page) at the top of the page which are not being displayed on the second page for all such frames and Items set the Vertical Elasticity to Variable.
Hope this helps.

Oracle Reports Printing issue

I have multiple printing issues with Oracle Reports developed in 10g. Please help me to resolve the issue.
1. Even though i set ORIENTATION to landscape, it is printing Portrait .
I have tried the below options
1. I SET ORIENTATION AS landscape Under Data Model, System Parameters
2. I have tried to pass ORIENTATION=landscape from the Keymap File
3. I have tried to set ORIENTATION=landscape Under Paper layout Main,Header and Trailer Sections.
2. Always the report is trying to fit in a single page (Width wise) which is annoying the user. I want to set Scaling instead of fit to a single page. How will i achieve this?
i was trying to display the reports in SPREADSHEET Format.
Thanks for all your Help.

Hi Ram,
You can create a postscript file or a PDF file and give that
to the print shop for printing. It's pretty easy. Go to the File
menu, choose Generate to File, and then choose Postscript or PDF.
Note that Reports will use the driver for the printer to which
you are connected at the time you generate the file. You may have
to do some tests to make sure that that printer driver is
compatible with that of the print shop. I would generate a test
file from Reports and see if it works with their printer.

i have made one oracle 6i reports. its is quite wide.when i run the report it shrink into too small font.
and i increse it font size it by pressing + button on menu bar it looks okay.
>
The + button only causes a zoom in on the screen. It is not affecting the actual layout.
>
but the problem is that when i take print out of it ,it's printout comes in its intial format(in small font) evenif i choose different type of paper size or different orientation . it's printout is coming in too small font.
pl tell me how to overcome this problem>
The report rendering engine tries to fit the report page into the physical page size. This results in shrinking of font size,etc.
To fix
a) reduce the content on the report to something reasonable for printing.(Std paper sizes and orientation)
b) change the page size selection. Of course, you will need a printer and paper of the size you set.
Cheers,

ACCENT Symbol in Oracle Reports printing using 10g Application server

Some of the report with names containing ACCENT symbol are printing like upside-down comma. But the report used to printing certified copy and the client requiring to print the ACCENT symbol as it is. Oracle support recommend us to use PDFPrint destination, which is third-party utility that converting the post-script output to printer for ACCENT symbol. Please provide the link and instruction to download the PDFprint utility and installation requirement for the below environment:
Oracle Application Server Version=10.1.2.3.0
SUN SPARC - 64 bit
Thanks
Krishna

By the looks of it you used 9i which also used an Application Server so your knowledge should be up to date. The Default URL has changed a little as has the port. Look in the installation guide for the default URL and port.
If you mena the development side you can use the one-button-run functionality which makes it possible to run am form without the full App Server just by hitting the run button in the builder. You do need to start the local OC4J but that is easy. On Windows there is a start menu item to do that. On Linux you run a shell script I think.

Help! oracle report out of order after update Rollup for windows 2000 sp4

hello once again
i haven't received any solution of my problem, so i am again uploading it.
----PROBLEM IS GIVEN BELOW-----
i am having a problem in oracle report printing (2000,6i). I have installed patch "update Rollup for windows 2000 sp4" on windows 2000. now when i send report(132 column) for printing to the printer, the report fails to expand to 132 columns and data is printed in unformatted fashion. in order to print the report correctly i have to remove the patch from the windows.i have set all parameters and
defining page size in files like wide180.PRT in printers folder in oracle directory.
Is there anyway to print the report without uninstalling windows patch?
thanks

I don't have any idea about this issue. Maybe someone else on this forum can help. Meanwhile, there are couple of places you can search for this issue:
Search google for printing issues with this patch
Search Microsoft forums for Windows 2000
And if you have metalink account, search metalink forum, document/note or open a SR for this.

Auto print Oracle report through call to PL/SQL

I have been tasked with finding a way to generate an Oracle report from a java servlet. Basically they want to pass in parameters to a PL/SQL procedure and have it automatically print out, without user interaction.
Can this be done?
Jeff

I am in a similar situation and have reached a bit of an impass. I am creating the report by means of passing a dynamically created URL from WebDB to the Report Server.
I have created a procedure to do various things and was planning on calling the report via the procedure using
OWA_UTIL.redirect_url depending on the params
that the user entered. Does the UTL_HTTP work in the same means as the aforementioned? Or are they the same thing?
Regards and thanks,

Thank you so much for your help. I used event driven pulishing and needed to install SRW package on my infra database and it is working good now.
One thing I am struggling with sending pdf reports to another server. I could create a pdf at runtime, but needed to send to another server for storage. I could set up the desname parameter to store the pdf in the same report server by using the following code
PORTAL.srw.add_parameter(myPlist, 'DESNAME', 'c:\Report\abcd');
but to store in a different server I don't know how to do that. Any help would be appreciated

Please tell us about your product, version and Application Server type. You may also want to note that Oracle Apps is different from Oracle Application Server .
Also intriguing is the error you report. Where and what exact error do you get? Error codes/messages need to be reported exactly (not paraphrased).
Was that in displaying the info or in printing it to a printer?
