ORARRP Issue

Hi All:
It is more a research than a problem.
I've downloaded the lastest orarrp utility from OTN.
I already installed in my PC. But the problem comes when I generate a multiple reports. First of them is show in the screen but all others are send them directly to the printer. (I have installed in my PC, acrobat reader 7.0.5 (the latest version I guess))
The first report is generated ok, but all other after the orarrp send them to the printer shows a windows message: TerminateProcess: 5-1.
The reports are send them directly to the printer but for every single report, it shows the message screen and the user need to click the ok button to continue with the generation.
I download from my intranet download area, an old version of orarrp, I installed using the acrobat reaer 4.x and it seams to work just fine.
My concern is, exist any issue related with the lastest version of the ORARRP?
or perhaps it is something with the acrobat version? (I thought that, but I test it using Acrobat 4.x and my old version of the utility and it produced the same windows message windows). Or it is something with my Oracle Reports version? (I am using Reports 6i)
Thanks in advanced

If you change the orarrp.ini (in client PC) as:
[options]
choose_printer=no
You can avoid the print dialogue displayed.

ORARRP 1.3.4 Remort Printing Issue in Oracle Form 10g.

Dear All;
Andreas Weiden You use this so Please help me regarding this matter it is very urgent.
I am trying to use "Oracle Reports Remote Printing Utility 1.3.4 (ORARRP)". Here is the code that I am using to call the report.
In "WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED"
BEGIN
vcFile := get_application_property(USERNAME)||TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'YYYYMMDDHHMISS');
vcFile := vcFile||'.rrpa';
report_id:=FIND_REPORT_OBJECT('REP_TST');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE,BATCH);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_DESTYPE,FILE);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_DESFORMAT,'pdf');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_DESNAME,'Y:\02\02\'||vcFile);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_SERVER,'REP_APPSRV_FRHOME1');
:GLOBAL.ReportHandle := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(report_id);
:GLOBAL.PrintOutPut := vcFile;
hTimer := CREATE_TIMER('PRINTER_QUEUE','15000',REPEAT);
END;
In "WHEN-TIMER-EXPRIED"
BEGIN
vcTimerName := get_application_property(timer_name);
IF vcTimerName ='PRINTER_QUEUE' THEN
vcStatus := REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS(:GLOBAL.ReportHandle);
     IF vcStatus in ('RUNNING','OPENING_REPORT','ENQUEUED')THEN
NULL;
     ELSIF vcStatus ='FINISHED' THEN
          WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('c:\temp\'||:GLOBAL.PrintOutPut,'_blank')     ;
     delete_timer(vcTimerName);
     ELSE
MESSAGE('Report Has failed');MESSAGE('Report Has failed');
delete_timer(vcTimerName);
END IF;
END IF;
END;
ButI have no Idea where I set the name of my reort like my report is placed at "Y:\02\02\SUPP_INFOR.REP" how can I call this report?
Please tell me if anybody using this......... Thx. In advance.

Andreas Weiden You use thisI'm pretty sure i never used "Oracle Reports Remote Printing Utility 1.3.4" ;)
In "WHEN-TIMER-EXPRIED"Why do you have to use a timer for this. I don't think its necessary.
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('c:\temp\'||:GLOBAL.PrintOutPut,'_blank') ;Web.SHOW_DOCUMENT shows a WEB-url and c:\temp\ definitely is none.
I am trying to use "Oracle Reports Remote Printing Utility 1.3.4 (ORARRP)"And where do you use this? I don't find any call in your code..

How to suppress extra form feed for character report printing using ORARRP?

Dear All,
We are using Oracle Application Server 10g (10.1.2.0.2) on Windows 2003 Server and most of our client PC's are Windows XP Professional machines. We are migrating our existing oracle application from 2-tier architecture to 3-tier architecture (6i to 10g). We have installed ORARRP utility for remote direct printing and to a limited extent we are successfull in getting the things work out for our system users, However, we are facing a problem using the ORARRP utility for which we are not able to find a solution till date.
We have configured ORARRP utility on every user's PC and the printing of bitmap reports is working well. However, while printing CHARACTER reports using ORARRP utility, after the report gets printed, an EXTRA FORM FEED is issued by ORARRP to the printer and because of this the printer stationary skips one extra page and advances to the next page. Please note that this EXTRA FORM FEED happens only while printing a CHARACTER REPORT.
Has anyone come across such a problem using ORARRP ? How can we avoid this extra FORM FEED from CHARACTER REPORT printing using ORARRP ? Is there any other tool which supports remote direct printing just like ORARRP?
I shall be highly obliged if anyone could reply to my queries ASAP.
Regards,
KrishnaKumar S

Please help ! I tried the "send_form_feed" and "postscript_dos_print" parameters without success. The extra form feed is always there. Thanks.

Problem with ORARRP and Firefox

We installed ORARRP utility on a pc. If we create an .rrpt file and double click it the orarrp
utility captures the request and pops up a dialogue box. So the orarrp utility
is successfully installed in the system.
If we use Internet Explorer to run an .rrpt report (through an oracle forms application) the orarrp utility captures
the request. So with IE is working fine.
If we use firefox to run an .rrpt report (through an oracle forms application) the orarrp utility is not called
and firefox just presents the .rrpt file on the screen.
This issue is met in all platforms, all oracle versions, all firefox versions.
It is very important to make it run with firefox since due to another issue some of our clients are
forced to use firefox instead of IE.

My solution is patching iWeb to ignore shadows with Firefox 5.0 (without warranties - you should test it )
a) locate iWebImage.js in iWeb (usally in /Applications/iWeb.app/Contents/Resources/Scripts/Site) - with finder you must use "show package content"
b) open this file and locate funtion "applyToElement: function(shadowed)
c) skip shadowing with userAgent Firefox/5.0 (see if-Statement)
d) republish the website
    applyToElement: function(shadowed)
        var framePos = new IWPoint(shadowed.offsetLeft, shadowed.offsetTop);
        var frameSize = new IWSize(shadowed.offsetWidth, shadowed.offsetHeight);
        var opacity = 1.0;
        if((navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Firefox/5.0") <= -1) && (shadowed != null))
            shadowed = $(shadowed);
            opacity = shadowed.getStyle('opacity');
            if(windowsInternetExplorer)
                // To make an object with shadow from a given object (shadowed) we go through the following

Orarrp can't print pdf file directly to printer

oracle remote print utility (orarrp) can't print pdf file directly to printer.
we expect orarrp utility can handle ".rrpa" file (i.e. pdf file generated on the application server) by directly print the file to the client's printer, i.e. invoke the acrobat reader on the client side, display the the printer selection dialogue, after confirmation print the pdf file, then the acrobat reader close automatically nicely.
However we are disappointed as the acrobat reader startup and display the pdf file content but does not print and does not close.
After testing the problem several times, there are some findings:-
Finding (A):-
(a) for the success of direct printing of pdf file, a physical path must be provided; we have tried 2 methods:
1) using drag & drop to copy the pdf file directly to the browser
2) open pdf file in the browser directly using browser menu-->File-->Open.
(b) for the failure of direct printing, a virtual path is involved and we have also tried 2 methods:
1) when web.show_document() is used
2) enter the url to the URL bar of the browser,
eg. http://appsvr.com:7777/report/test_printout/APPSVR1094707.rrpa (this is a virtual path/url)
Finding (B):-
(a)when the physical path is used, a temporary pdf file is generated in the same directory where the rrpa file exists in the application server,
e.g. in application server: d:/printout/yyy.pdf is generated for d:/printout/xxx.rrpa when direct print occurs
(b) however when the virtual path is used, there is no such temp "pdf" file generated and direct print failed.
May be when virtual path is used, orarrp utility don't know where to generate the temp "pdf" so direct print doesn't occur.
So, anyone has similar experience or further queries or has solutions, please join.
Thanks for your attention.

Hi,
It is really late to give response this post. But still who ever refering to this post for the same issue this solution is useful for achieving same in background:
Even same can be used in smartforms, for getting spool request in PDF format as well which will decrease the size of file when printing in SAP printer.
ct_tline is PDF output:

LOOP AT ct_tline INTO cs_tline.
ASSIGN cs_tline TO <p> CASTING TYPE x.
CONCATENATE lv_pdfsource <p> INTO lv_pdfsource IN BYTE MODE.
ENDLOOP.
* ->Create spool request in PDF format
CALL FUNCTION 'ADS_CREATE_PDF_SPOOLJOB'

    printer = 'LOCL'            "Printer name supporting PDF device type

Send Report Directly To Printer Without using ORARRP?

Is their any other way to send report output directlly to printer from reports 10g running on Oracle IAS 10g without use of Orarrp?
I am asking this question because of some non-support issue with Orarrp mentioned by Oracle in documents.
Looking for yours help on this topic.
Thanks

within a forms trigger:
1. generate the report
2. copy from iAS to local
like: webutil_file_transfer.url_to_client()
3. print.exe /d:printer filename (for windows OS)

ORARRP doesn't print to a printer configured through TCP/IP.

Could any one using ORARRP pls. help ? I am pasting the TAR contents I opened with Oracle Support.
Oracle Support doesn't support ORARRP. They referred me back to discussion forum.
Thanks,
RK

23-MAY-02 01:06:04 GMT
New info : Hi Oracle Support,
I found that the ORARRP works fine and submits report to the Printer if the
printer is defined through Novell Netware Network.
But if the same printer is defined through I.P address directly as a local
Printer it doesn't work. ( Add new port , Standard TCP/IP port method in
Windows 2000).
Does it give us any clue to solve this issue ?.
Pls. Help.

23-MAY-02 13:32:25 GMT
Hi,
My understanding is that you where trying to print using ORARRP utility on the web
Since you are trying on an muti-tiered server(that is web is 3-tier)
by default this report will be printed out to the default printer assigned to
the application server machine , NOT to the client machines default
printer.
For example,
Machine 1 - the application server machine
Machine 2 - the client machine
Machine 2 submits a request to run a report to the multi-tier server with
DESTYPE set to PRINTER; DESNAME is left blank.
Printing will be on the default printer of Machine 1(Application server)
and not on Machine 2(Client PC)
If I am wrong inmy understanding, please eloborate

New info : A Big No. We are running the 10.7 version of Oracle applications and
there is no middle tier per se.
All we have done is to define a new printer called "LOCAL_PRINTER" and when
users select this printer the initiaization string which the Print command
sends to the printer before sending the file gets added to the output file and
the output file is stored in a directory which is accessible through a web
server.
Users invoke the browser and point to the website where the output files are
avaiable. and then click on their request ids. Since the extension of the file
is .rrpt the ORARRP utility brings the Printer dialog where we have select the
printer.
This setup was working sucessfully till so far. ( Past 1 year).
Now it suddenly didn't work for a user's printer which was connected to her PC.
Since I had windows 2000 on my laptop and I tried the same and found that the I
select a PC which is defined through I.P Address then it is not working. But
if I select the same printer defined through Novell Netware it is working.
Please let me know if you are getting the picture. if not may be we can do a
webex session or something like that.

Hi Radhakrishnan,
ORARRP doesn't actually do any printing itself. Via COM/Active-X, it calls the appropriate program that corresponds to the type of output, and then this program does the actual printing. For PDF, it calls Acrobat Reader to print the document. Acrobat Reader displays the printer dialog to let you choose which printer to use, and then when you click OK, Acrobat Reader prints the document and sends it to the printer.
I expect that you'll find that when you use Acrobat Reader yourself on this machine it has exactly the same problems with this particular printer configuration. If so, you'll need to contact Adobe for further assistance.
regards,
Stewart

Orarrp/ Forms 10.1.2.0.2

Hi Duncan, hi Frank,
I have installed the new Version of Forms 10.1.2.0.2.
I have change the old rp2rro.pll Library with the new.
In the new Version the orarrp Calls are not longer included. Why ?
I know orarrp is not an supported Tool but means that something for the Future of orarrp and Forms?

I think this issue is bug 4207044
Its fixed in v11 and has been backported to 10.1.2.

ORARRP 1.3.4/Oracle-Application-Server-10g/9.0.4.0.0 Oracle-HTTP on IE7

We have to use JInitiator 1.3.1.13 and ORARRP 1.3.4 on a MsWindows Client to connect to the HQ Oracle-Application-Server-10g/9.0.4.0.0 Oracle-HTTP-Server.
We have noticed this will run almost 100% in MSInternet Explorer version 7.0.5730.11 .
Except for the ORARRP remote print utility which seems to have some timing problem i.e. when generating a report in the browser screen a temporary browser screen will open and close immediately again. Using the advanced debug option in orarrp.ini to monitor any errors does not show any problem.
However when clicking quickly in the temporary browser screen the Printer selection screen will pop-up and the local printer can be selected to print-out the report.
PDF-reports to screen work normally with IE7. ORARRP will start Adobe Acrobat reader (version 8.1.0).
Has someone solved this issue with local printing using ORARRP on IE7?
We would like to deploy IE7 asap because of its better features and rendering than IE6.
thanks in advance,
Fred

Thanks in advnace.

Andreas Weiden You use thisI'm pretty sure i never used "Oracle Reports Remote Printing Utility 1.3.4" ;)
In "WHEN-TIMER-EXPRIED"Why do you have to use a timer for this. I don't think its necessary.
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('c:\temp\'||:GLOBAL.PrintOutPut,'_blank') ;Web.SHOW_DOCUMENT shows a WEB-url and c:\temp\ definitely is none.

Orarrp Utility Windows 7 32-bit with IE9

I have a question, does the ORARRP utility work on Windows 7 32-bit machines? I am having an issue with a virtual machine we have set up for testing. It is Windows 7 32-bit and when I select "Print" it just generates a generic text file and displays it on another tab on the browser. Using the same set up on my Windows 7 64-bit machine, it generates the select a printer pop up box instead of the text file. Does it have to do with the fact that it is a 32-bit machine?
The only differences as I mentioned are that my machine is Windows 7 64-bit and is a physical machine and the virtual machine is not a physical machine and it is 32-bit.

A little different story here but the same result :
- Windows Seven Professional 64bits Edition (French)
- X-Fi Xtreme Gamer (lastest driver 2.8.003?)
And of course one big issue : no bass/subwoofer doesn't work. Browsing on the Internet and on the Creative forums seems that this issue is common under Windows Seven.... :/
Any help/clue/offical word ?
Many Thanks in advance !

Orarrp - error 16394 using orarrp 1.3.4 with acrobat reader 6

I'm trying to use orarrp 1.3.4 with adobe acrobat reader 6 to have a report generated in pdf format and sent to the local default printer for the user. The report generates successfully, downloads to the browser with mimetype application/x-orarrp-pdf, starts the acrord32 process, but then give the following error message:
OraRRP Error
Failed to establish DDE conversation with Acrobat, Error: 16394
Any suggestions on what would cause the error? Is this a compatibility issue between orarrp and the latest reader, or some security setting I need to check in Internet Explorer

hello,
there are known compatibiity issues caused by acrobat 6. we are currently trying to resolve those and a new version of ORRP will be available in the next couple of weeks.
thanks,

ORARRP source code

Hi,
I was wondering if Oracle would be willing to share the source code for the ORARRP utility? After all, it is unsupported. The last version is 1.3.4 dated October 2001, and there are a few issues that we specifically need to address in order to allow printing of Oracle Reports through a Web application.
The most pressing is the error "ORARRP Unable to connect to printer <port>" that we would like to fix soon because our cashiers need to be able to print receipts in a fast paced environment.
Thanks for your consideration

ORARRP + Internet Explorer 7

Hello guys,
I am trying to use the ORARRP with Internet Explorer and I am getting an error.
Anyone knows if there is some bug or an incompatibility between ORARRP and IE7?
Thanks,
Paulo.

We have have a tonne of issues with GUI 7.10.
Make sure you have the latest patch level. I think the current is SP1.
Do a complete uninstall of the gui and reinstall the up to the current patch level.
