Output Device and Format issues in Background?

Hi, all:
I have a issue. when I run the job as the background. whatever I choose which Output Device and Output Format. after finishing job. double click on the spool number. the Output Device is always LP01. Format is X_PAPER.
Anybody knows what happend in SAP.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Yunfa Zhang,
what is defined as ABAP program in the Job's step? Maybe it ignores whatever you specify and reads the LP01 from somwwhere else, i.e. your user settings.

Conflict with the output device and the page format.

Hi Experts,
I have two output device, one as "deskjet_printer" and one as "EPSON". Page format is "ZJV". Now, when I am taking a print preview with "deskjet _printer" output device, it is working fine, but when I am taking it with "EPSON", it gives me an error message as "Table TEMPLATE1 does not fit into window". We need to take a printuot with EPSON output device. I think we need to attach sometthing with it and I am missing something somewhere.
How to achieve this issue. Please help me in this. Appreciate your inputs on this.
Thanks in advance.

Increase the size of window or reduce the width or height og Template1 in smartform.

Windows 8.1 Devices and Printers Issues

We have deployed a brand new Active Directory domain for a customer. ALL the servers without exception are Windows 2012 R2 and all clients are Windows 8.1 32bit VDI clients.
The issue that we have is around network printers.
We are deploying 4 printers from a Windows 2012 R2 Server via the print management/Deploy Printer and assigning that to a GPO. The printers are deployed to the Computers which should mean that the users get all 4 printers which they then should be
allowed to set their default and personal settings for that printer.
Our printers are deployed like this:
1. Created security group
2. Assigned VDI computers to the security group
3. Created GPO to reflect security group
4. Modify GPO to do security filtering based on computer group membership
5. Deployed 4 x printers through Print Management to the GPO on a per machine basis
However, on the users Devices and Printers screen we are not seeing the 4 printers. For some users they see duplicates of all 4 printers so e.g they can have upwards of 8 or more. Other users have no printers
displayed whatsoever. The next time they log off or restart they then have a different amount of printers displayed.
If they try and set the default then it will set and the next time they check the default may have moved to another printer even without logging off or back on.
Now, where this gets strange is within an application such as MS Word 2013 or Notepad if they use the file and print menu the printers will be listed, even if the user has no printers displayed in Devices and Printers. If the users selects a printer then
they can then print OK.
If we check HKCU\Printers||Connections then the CORRECT 4 printers are showing as to what is being deployed via the GPO so I know that the Windows 8.1 terminals are receiving the correct printers from the GPO.
To try and correct this over the course of the week we have deployed the printers via Group Policy Preferences to the user and then the PC to no avail. Currently we are using the Print management\Deployed Printers to deploy all 4 printers to the computer
via the Computer GPO.
I believe that this issue is related to the display somehow in Devices and Printers rather than a GPO or print server issue as we can see via the registry the clients are receiving the 4 correct mentioned printers as shown in the registry.
FYI: We only have around 30 users and all users are getting this problem. All users are receiving the same GPO's and have the same few apps installed, Office 2013, Adobe Reader etc.
What we want is for the computers to receive all 4 printers. All users should be able to use all 4 printers but the user should be able to select their particular default, depending where they are located or what they are printing that particular day. Their
particular default should persist after reboot. (We have 2 x Copiers and 2 x HP Laserjets) All users have redirected documents and desktop but the rest of the profile is on the VDI and persists after their reboot. The profile is not roaming as the user is
assigned a particular VDI.
After a week of scratching our heads with this we are open to suggestions and any would be appreciated. We have tried following the issues on this thread to no avail either as they still return.

Multiple queries and formatting issues

I am running a report with 2 queries in a csv format. It displayed the right format with one query but with the new query , I have all sorts of formatting issues. The data is displayed in random cells. Why would this happen? Any ideas?
thanks

Sripathy,
No, the data is not mixed up. However, the data is displayed in random fashion. Data which should be displayed in one cell, is coming in 2 cells. Sometimes, it is skipping a few cells. It could be due to field widths- I tried changing the widths of the groups in the Data model and also in the layout editor, but nothing has worked so far. Does it not automatically adjust the width depending on the data. I have Vertical elasticity Expand and horizonta Fixed.
Thanks,

Reinstall of Win XP Pro on T42 help = Device and Driver Issue

Hi All, need help. Recently I re-installed Win XPro on a T42 Type 2373 ThinkPad. Prior to doing a re-installed all devices were working(just 3 days ago). Wireless and Ethernet. After a clean installed the systems does not see ethernet or wireless device. I checked Device Manager and I get the famous "? Other Devices" for Ethernet Controller. I have installed all the driver listed on
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-55386
Still systems does not recognize device. Devices are ENABLED in the BIOS. Device Manager does not show Wireless device and Ethernet. I was able to install video, sound, & modem. So here I am stuck unable to connect to internet via LAN or Wireless. I am lost for words. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Solved: after downloading the driver I actually had to go to the location of the file and click on the SetUp and it worked.
After downloading and opening the exe file i assumed (and we know what that does) that was all i needed to do. It seems that also have to then open the folder that this file unpacked to and click on the setup file (which i didn't realise was there).

Importing Excel Files and Formatting Issues

Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. When in doubt, post in the forum! Anyway, I am using java via ODBC to connect to an excel file to extract some info from it, using SQL statements. Everything can be extracted without any problems, however, Excel keeps pi$$ing me off by changing the format of the cell data.
Firstly, I highlight every cell in my Excel file and format it as "Text."
Then I extract the cell info by using a ResultSet and getting a String (even for numeric data - ResultSet.getString(...))
What is getting on my nerves is that not only does it not extract numeric values followed by a string, when it does extract numeric values, it is adding a ".0" after the value.
For example, if the cell value is 123, it will return 123.0
If the cell value is 123SHOE, it returns null
Furthemore, when editing the Excel file, after having every cell formatted as "Text," if I enter a number, say, as a zipcode, 123450000, it brings up an error! But the very definition of "Text" states that "Text format cells are treated as text even when a number is in the cell."
The moral of the story is, I want to convert all data in the Excel file to "Text" and when extracting data from the file, I need to be able to extract numbers, numbers followed by characters, and everything else.
Any suggestions?
Thanks much,
Josh

Hey Dr. Clap, quick question for ya. I was checking out the Apache POI you recommended. More specifically HSSF. I noticed in the documentation that "String cells cannot conatin numbers and numeric cells cannot contain strings." Unfortunately, this is not going to work well with my app as some of the primary keys (I use the term loosely) are Strings which contain numbers. My main problem is that my app wont recognize the Strings containing numbers, so it returns null, and Excel is chopping off the leading zeroes and is popping up with an error because numbers are in the String. However, as I stated before, Excel notes that text cells can contain numbers!
FYI, I am using Pervasive SQL to extract a given list of users in a DB (which I dont want to connect to directly) and am saving that generated query (list of users) into a text file. I then open the text file in Excel which parses it correctly and assigns the cells the correct values. So I don't think I can format the cells as text because I am importing the file I generate. I love doing things ass backwards :) Another reason I am using Excel files is so anyone can use the software so long as they have an Excel file with the appropriate columns within the file.
Thanks yet again and I'll keep searching.
Josh

PhotoStream: Multiple Devices and Performance Issues

Had a bad night last night with PhotoStream. I have an iPhone 4S (AT&T), my wife has an iPhone 4 (VZW), we have an iPad 1 (Wi-Fi), Apple TV 2 (Ethernet), and a 2011 Mac Mini (Wi-Fi)... all in the same house that has a Time Capsule and is connected to AT&T DSL service, 3.0Mbps service (average speed test results are 2.65Mbps down, 315kbps up). Oh yeah, there's a micro-cell in there too but anytime there's trouble that gets shut off first so its irrelevant for this discussion.
So yesterday was Halloween and we both took alot of photos away from the house with the iPhones. Got home, started using the internet, noticed the performance was HORRIBLE. Speed test showed over 1,000 ms ping latency (I still can't believe I actually waited for it to finish the ping test) and nothing was getting through for the download / upload test. I have never (believe it or not) with AT&T DSL seen it get this bad. Its been bad before, don't get me wrong, but this was surprising even to me.
How did I come to the conclusion that PhotoStream was my issue you may ask? Well, its sort of a long story, but bear with me... The other day, we started having trouble with the Apple TV 2, which for the most part is pretty solid. My wife was streaming Netflix movies and it was stopping every 30 seconds. It was looking at this issue that had me first raise suspicions about PhotoStream. Just days before this problem started, I had enabled PhotoStream on the Apple TV 2. SO I did the first most logical thing anyone could do, I took a step back and disabled it. Problem solved. Thought nothing of it, yeah I was a little discouraged that I couldn't use it on the Apple TV 2, but not a big deal, my favorite part of PhotoStream is using it to get the photos into iPhoto without having to plug the iPhones in so I said to myself "I'll just keep putting the photos into Events and Albums until they work out the kinks on the AppleTV 2" thinking perhaps the Apple TV 2 needs to not update PhotoStream while videos are being played. They can fix that at some point, right? Sure they can.
Now, back to this other issue. My bandwidth last night was completely crapped out, and I was determined to prestige on Black Ops one last time so this had to change STAT! I mean, come on! I was at Level 47 and I was ready to GO! My internet connection just wasn't having it. I powered off the router, rebooted the modem, and powered on the rotuer again. Everything came up beautifully. I jumped into some Nuketown 24/7, 4 green bars next to my name and I was happy. After we lost Bravo, which on Nuketown takes about a minute and a half if both teams are fighting over it, I'm lagging like crazy and I have that little red bar that no one likes to see next to my name. Sure enough, speedtest results are all whacked out again.
So I'm sitting there thinking to myself, what could this be? My wife was watching cable TV, my son was asleep... essentially the Xbox 360 was the only thing trying to use the internet... I thought... until I remembered our iPhones and the photos we had just taken and all the devices that would be simultaneously trying to update PhotoStream. Let's list them again, shall we?
iPhone 4S - Upload to Stream and Download from Stream
iPhone 4 - Upload to Stream and Download from Stream
iPad 1 - Download from Stream
Mac Mini - Download from Stream
So how can I prove this crazy theory of mine that the great and wonderful PhotoStream was choking my internet connection? Simple.
iPhone 4S - PhotoStream OFF
iPhone 4 - PhotoStream OFF
iPad 1 - PhotoStream OFF
Mac Mini - PhotoStream OFF
Speed test results immediately after doing this?
2.73Mbps down / .31Mbps up with 26ms ping time (used the Speedtest.NET app on the 4S).
Sadly, this means that for now, I cannot use PhotoStream, however I did manage to Prestige on Black Ops which made me happy, and the iPhone 4S can still be plugged into the Mac Mini to download my wonderful looking photos.
That's right, I didn't throw away the charger cables just yet and if you want to start talking about iTunes Wireless Synching with multiple devices in the same house, I can gladly take up some more of your time. Thats right, its OFF as well!

I just wanted to report that this is still an open and particularly nefarious bug. I've got a fairly idealized Apple household with 2 iPhone 4's, a 'new' iPad, a 13" Macbook Pro, Airport Express and our most recent addition this weekend... an Apple TV.
While I had no particular interest in enabling Photo Stream, I turned it on while messing with the screen saver settings and didn't think anything about it. As I began to play with my new toy I was immediately disappointed with all the long spinners and timeouts in Netflix. Later that day I noticed my computer and iPad were having similar connection issues. My first thought was 'oh, Comcast must be acting up, that's why my new Apple TV isn't working so well'.
Fast forward 3 days to today and our network issues were still occuring and I decided I needed to figure out what was going on. After mucking around in network settings for a couple hours I half-jokingly decided to disconnect the AppleTV on the whim that the issues started at the same time I hooked it up. Sure enough my network issues disappeared. I even went so far as to run continuous pings to various IP's outside my home network and watch the timeouts come & go as i plugged/unplugged my ATV. Now knowing the ATV was the problem I set out to figure out what in particular was causing it. As soon as I signed out of Photo Stream everything was working perfect again. Netflix on the ATV is quick & responsive, no more spinners or timeouts. My other devices aren't plagued with random disconnects, dns failures or slow downloads.
Long story short, something is bugged in AppleTV's Photo Stream support. Mine didn't appear to be downloading any new photos, it had stopped with 255 photos downloaded. Not sure if that was all I had in iCloud or maybe AppleTV can only pull down 255 max? Maybe 255 is the magic number where it hits the bug that causes this behavior? Either way, it appeared to be only affecting the outgoing internet connection, when I had a continous ping going to another machine on my internal LAN it didn't appear to get affected.
Hope this helps someone at Apple track down the bug. While someone technical can probably troubleshoot these issues I could see someone like my mom never putting the 2 + 2 together that her internet problems started around the time she enabled Photo Stream on her AppleTV and instead blaming it on 'the internet acting up again' and of course calling me months later to look into it for her.

Calendar won't sync across devices and other issues

Hello all,
I am running latest versions of IOS 8 on IPAD Air2, iPhone5S and latest Yosemite on IMAC intel last year model.
There are few issues here....
In Mavericks when I edited an event in calendars it would show up almost immediately on my phone. No more. In Yosemite I would edit an event and it seems like a 50/50 chance it would RETAIN in the Yosemite calendar. And if it does, it does no sync across devices. This is a pain in my ***.
Second issue is when I use the 'shutdown' feature top left corner of OS X, the unit would begin to shut down then the spinning logo would keep spinning and unit would never shut down. The energy saver would take effect. I come from work thinking it was shut down, press the power button on back and the unit 'wakes' and continues with spinning shutdown logo.
Third issue, my iPhone randomly asks for the iCloud password, even though it is enable across all of my three devices.
Other than these issues I love Yosemite and IOS 8, but these are really kicking me from behind.
I appreciate any and all help!
Thanks

OK, are you sure the events you are adding are added to an icloud calendar, only iCloud calendars will sync. Tap the calendar button to make sure all your calendars are iCloud calendars. Are changes making it to iCloud.com

Loss of sound via external devices and odd issues when switching inputs.

When I plug in my headphones via the headphone jack, or my Logitech USB headset thru the USB port (either one), I get no sound coming out. Going to sysprefs>sound>output and selecting the approporiate device results in no volume control on keyboard and spinning beachball for several seconds. Unplugging device results in sound repeatedly going "pop, pop, pop" at whatever volume the internal speakers were last set at.
Something is skewed in the audio components but I am not sure what it is and am not sure how to proceed.

SVN Source - File permissons and format issues

Hi,
I checked out source from svn repository and tried to build, permissions on files are wrong, is it SVN doing or repository have files with that permission?
I also noticed, tomcat sh files have again wrong permission (no execute or read) and also in dos file-format, which means it would throw ": bad interpreter: No such file or directory" error, if executed on *nix boxes. I have to convert those using dos2unix..
BTW! things failed even when I was trying using sudo...

USB output devices and GarageBand 08

I have seen several posts discussing that Garage Band 08 does not use the USB Companion 5 speakers as an output. Does anyone know if there is a way to get Garage Band to use USB as an output? Additionally does anyone know if Apple has any plans to support USB output? I have some expensive speakers going to waste with Garage Band.

Not from what I have seen in the threads and throught my own personal experience. My Itunes plays great through the Bose Speakers. In Garage Band if I choose Built in as the Audio Output Channel...no probs...if I change it to USB Bose or Match Systems settings which are also USB....Garage band hangs and I get the rainbow wheel of death when I do anything.

DESFORMAT=spreadsheet and formatting issues in excel

Hi all,
Using reports builder 10 I have created a report layout for use with spreadsheets but am having trouble with a couple columns. In the data model the columns are just a straight select, they are varchar2 in the table.
The columns themselves contain entries like 00000001234 where the values differ, but are always padded with zeros to be 11 chars long. This is not a numeric column although it only contains numbers. in the properties of the report they are shown as varchar2 but when I run the report or generate it to .xls and open it, the column always appears without the padded zeros like excel thinks it is a number.
Is there a way to get around this?
Edited by: a small rabbit on Feb 24, 2009 9:54 AM

That just makes || :din_gp_pin|| be displayed in the column of the report instead of the actual value.
EDIT: changed the line to VARIABLE := ' '||:din_gp_pin||' ' ; and the value shows up in the spreadsheet, but it still cuts off the leading zeros. so instead of 00001234567 I get 1234567
