Output different if Device Type changed from SWIN to HPLJ4

Hi,
I have a few problems here for my SAP smartform. Hope someone out there can help.
1/ I am using font: Helvetica for my smartform. I realized that the output (on Print Preview as well as the actual Print output) shows a different font if I chose Device Type: HPLJ4. If I choose my actual printer HP4250 as the Device Type, the font is the same as that shown for SWIN as Device Type, but the spacing is a bit different. Is there any way I can make sure that the font type, spacing will not differ for a different Device Type?
2/ The reason why I am not printing using SWIN as Device Type (which will ensure consistent output even if printer is changed) is becoz I need to use the PCL5 print control commands to rotate a certain section of text in my smartforms- which is only possible on HP PCL5 printers. Is there any way I could rotate text in smartforms without print commands and yet I can still use SWIN as Device Type? (pls do not suggest creating a bitmap picture for the text).
<b>In short,</b> I need to know how can I ensure consistent output (same margin, same font, same font spacing) even if a different printer is used (any Device Type I can use?) and at the same time, enable me to rotate a certain section of text in my smartform(180 degrees)?
Thanks very much for any help.

Hi,
For the first question, generally the output (spacing etc) changes when you change the device type. So you need to adjust the alignment according to your output type.
Thanks,
Nagendra

MRP type change from VB to PD - Problem in old requirements MD04

Hello Experts,
For MRP run we were using VB as MRP type in material master. We upload schedule in scheduling agrrements. At time of MRP run system was only considering based on reorder point only.
Now business disicion is change and we have changed MRP type as PD. So at time of MRP run system should consider based on requirements i.e. from scheduling agreement. Now here is our problem. System consider and shows old scheduling requirement also in MD04. Let me explanin you in detail. Before changing MRP type from VB to PD, there were some schedule available in system. after that we have uploaded 2 3 more schedule. But system still shows old schedule availabe at time of MRP type change.
Can you please help me how to resolve this?? How can we clear old requirements from system.
Thanks in advance for your reply.

Fact table data type changed from int to nvarchar -- rebuild on cube fails

I change one of my data types in the Fact table from INT to Nvarchar... When I look at the properties it appears
correct but when I try to Process it fails still thinking it's data type INT.
How can the DSV be refreshed( I did try REFRESH and it noticied the change to field) to reflect new nvarchar data type without
having to rebuild entire Cube.

Thanks.

Did you try to view the code on the Data Source view and cube that it is reflecting the correct data type on both places? if not you can change there and save it.

Movement Type Change From 321 to Some other In Stock Posting (Insp Type 05)

Hi,
    While doing the stock Posting From quality to Unrest - Automatic 321 Movment type is happening
    But my client neads to identify how many qty from custmer return is passed to unrestricted from
    quality.
   i have problem in identify since 01 and 04 and also 05 all are having the same mvt since it is automatic
Can it be possible to chnage the mvt for the particular Inspection type 05.
kindly give me is there any way to solve this issue.
Regards
jai

Dear jaikumar
No need of changing movement type for the same. You have too many options to get this fugure
You can use Tcode se16, se16n and in the table QALS you will be able to know the quantity posted to unrestricted by selecting 05 inspection and from to date in input for the table view
else go to the standard report . Tcode MCXC, MCXI you will get the report based on inspection type and period

Condition Types : Calculation Type Change from A (percentage) to B (fixed )

Dear All,
We created a condition type (Calculation Type : A (percentage) ) and assigned access sequence and maintained in pricing procedure but later decided to change the calculation type to B (Fixed Amount) on this condition type.
I am wondering, what impact it will have ?? Can I simple change the calculation type on this condition type or should I take care of any thing else ??
Let me know, What things I have to take care of. Thanking you.
Anu.

Hi Anu,
No need of worry if it is independent condition type, means other conditions are not depending on it OR it is not depending on others.
Also check the condition records if they have any impact.
Else not a big issue, simply go ahead.

SD Cond. type changes from non statistic to statistic when creating invoice

Hi gurus!,
I have a problem with a condition type. Though I set it as NON statistic at the procedure, once I create the sales order it's ok but when I create the invoice from the delivery, then the same condition type appears as statistic.
Do you know how to solve this?
Its config is:
On procedure:
Condtype Description Print req. Cont. key
Z001 test description S 777 MWS
Its properties:

Edited by: John Smith on Nov 4, 2011 2:34 PM Reason: not finished

Hello!
After testing many things I debugged the VF01 code and noticed that a code into a standard enhancement was setting the condition type statistic because it has not an invoice cycle (IS-OIL) set. This must be new on ECC 6 where we move some months ago because in 4.72 never happened.
Once I have set the value for this flag, all the flow is working like a charm
Thanks a lot for your answers, this was a difficult one because is specific for IS-OIL installations.

Print format type changed from 1024 to 255, when selecting 1024

Hi,
when i execute a Z report, with Print format type, X_65_1024/4, it changes to X_65_255 , when i see in the spool and the data is wrapped around.
What is the reason for this.

See knowledgebase article [1548872|http://service.sap.com/~form/handler?_APP=01100107900000000342&_EVENT=REDIR&_NNUM=1548872]

GL acc type change from P&L to BS

Hello,
I have defined a GL as a P&L account initially and made some postings to it. Now i realize this is wrong and would like to change it as a BS acc now. Is it possible to do in this way? Is there anything that i need to correct the previous postings. Because there can be chances that yr end closing that may have effect in it.
BR,
D'nesh

Hi Dinesh,
This can be done by nullifying the balances posted to that particular GL account. Clear the open items by reversing all posted documents using T.code FB08 and make sure there is no balance left over.
To confirm go to F-03 and find all items posted were cleared.
Then you can go to FS00 and change the settings as per your requirement.

Sap Device Type for Canon IR3035N

Hi there,
I am printing remittance advice notes on a canon ir3035n printer. The output looks fine in the spool file but when you print the output some of the text is printing with a large amount of spacing between the words. The sap device type that is being used is SAPGOF. I am guessing that this maybe the cause of this and was wondering has anyone else used the Canon IR3035n and experienced similar problems? I was going to attempt to use a different device type but am unsure of which device type to use.
Is there a specific device type available for use with this printer? Failing that, does anybody know of a generic Canon device type which I can select from the list of devices types available from transaction SPAD?
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi
Pls refer to OSS note
Note 1069132 - CANON: List of supported printers/device types
It may give some idea.
I hope IR3035N - IR stands for Image Runner.
In the Note search for 3035, you may get some idea
Pls take opinion from SAP / Basis before implementing the note

Wrong Device Type Selected

This is a partial fix when a wrong device type is selected in the network map, either by you or Network Magic. The first step here was NOT done by me, but by "mbroadfo". He did an excellent job on figuring this out. There is a quicker and easier way however, once you do mbroadfo's work. This was his post under "Network Map Issuses Solved!:
09-22-201010:02 AM
I have been trying to figure out how to resolve a couple of issue with the Network Map in Cisco Network Magic (I have version 5.5.9195.0). The problem is that the device names and types I established initially don't get updated correctly in the map when my DHCP server assigns a new IP address. Network Magic does not seem to recognize the device by the MAC address and seems to put too much stock in the IP address (which is strange as DHCP is prevalent on most networks).
In order to re-initialize the network map, perform the following steps on ALL PC's running Network Magic:
1) Do not de-install Network Magic (it's not necessary unless you want more work)
2) Run: serveme.exe from "C:\Program Files\Pure Networks\Network Magic\Support\" (or wherever you installed Cisco Magic) - I created a shortcut so I can do this in the future without hunting around
3) Find the System Tray icon for serveme (it's a green dot surrounded by a white box)
4) Right click on the serveme icon and select:
- Stop NmService (the first item)
- Delete NetworkLib.xml
5) Repeat on ALL PC's running Network Magic
Once you have finished on ALL PC's, perform the following on each PC with Network Magic installed:
1) Right click on the serveme icon in the System Tray and select:
- Start NmService (the first item)
- Force First Run (the eleventh item)
- Exit ServeMe
2) Double-Click on Network Magic icon on the System Tray
3) Click the Link to restart the Network Magic Platform
4) Go through the initial startup steps per the instructions in the User Guide
5) Repeat on ALL PC's running Network Magic
Hope this helps!
Foot
The one problem that I kept having, was on one laptop in particular. Once I got all other PC’s correct, this one followed in suit. (I guess I should mention briefly, there are always at a minimum, 5 laptops, 2 desktops, 2 network drives, 3 network cameras, 1 network printer and 3 game consoles listed on the network map. More if friends come over.) You can see my dilemma if one of my device types change. One step left out by mbroadfo, if you have multiple computers with Network Magic on them, only have ONE connected to the network with a complete map at a time. If anything changes to the device type, all of the computers will change their device type and you will have to start all over again.
1. Leave all of your network devices turned on. Follow the steps above to disable Network Magic.
2. On one computer, follow the steps above to get Network Magic running again. Once you have a full map of all of your correct devices displayed, proceed to step 3.
3. Go to the following folder: C:\Users\All Users\Pure Networks\Platform
4. Copy this file: networklib.xml
5. SAVE THIS FILE somewhere in a folder where you know where it is. You could rename the copy to something like network.xml.temp
6. Go to the next computer, leaving the first PC running all the time on the network, and start Network Magic. Network Magic's network map should populate with the first PC's map. If anything changes, you can restore the xml file on the first PC. I'll explain this step later. Once the map is populated correctly, do the same thing on copying the "networklib.xml" file on the second PC, disconnect the second PC from the network or shut it down so its map cannot change. DO NOT copy the "networklib.xml" from the any PC to another thinking it is a short cut. Each "networklib.xml" file is specific to that PC. Move to the next PC and perform step 6 again until all PC's running Network Magic are done.
7. Once all PC's are done, they can all be brought back online and life should be great.
Now for the easier part. From this point on, if the map ever changes, simply exit Network Magic, open Task Manager and stop the nmsrvc, go to C:\Users\All Users\Pure Networks\Platform and delete "networklib.xml", copy your saved version of that file back to this folder and restart Network Magic. I know that the initial setup takes a while, but it is easier in the end if anything changes. I use the map and shares to access my cameras and network drives and if one of those changes to any type of computer, you cannot change the device type back. The software needs to have the same type of selection for all device types as when the "Network Device" in the drop down's is selected. I have just spent hours trying to get all of my devices set back to normal. I hope this will help some of you from repeated frustration when something changes.

Since I wrote the previous fix, I have had some other issues which forced me to correct several times, the Network Magic map. This was for the most part, letting other people have access to change the map. I have since put passwords in place to stop that. I have come up with a shorter way to do the fix that I suggested and found a possible flaw in the previous fix. I don’t know why or where this comes from, but on all of the computers that I have, NM has two different names for the process that runs. Two computers can both be 64 bit hardware and 64 bit OS and still have different process names. The following is what I am using now and works fine for me, but from what I am seeing no matter what software package, whether game or tool, each computer is so unique, the same problem may be on computers with two completely different fixes. Anyway, the following steps are what I am using now and works great on my systems. Hope maybe these steps will work on yours:
1.       Goto each computer and do the following steps in order. Right click on the Network Magic icon in the notification area of the task bar and exit Network Magic. Next, open Task Manager and click on the Processes tab. This is where NM uses two different names that I have seen: nmsrvc.exe or nmctxth.exe . Which ever process is running, end the process. Next, click on the Services tab. Scroll down until you find nmservice. Right click on nmservice and select Stop Service. Wait to make sure the Status column changes from Running to Stopped. It may take a few moments. If it does not stop or a message appears saying that the service cannot be stopped, click on the Services button at the bottom right corner. Scroll down on the Services window until you find Pure Networks Platform Service. Right click on the this and click on Stop. Again, wait until the status column changes from Started to Stopped. I have tried to just stop the service, but all of the steps above have to be done in order for this to work. This service is what communicates between this computer on all others running NM and tells them what is in the map. Leave this window open and proceed to step 2.
2.       Go to C:\Users\All Users\Pure Networks\Platform folder. Delete the file networklib.xml on all computers.
3.       Once step two is done, go back to the Services window and right click on Pure Networks Platform Service and click on Start. When the Status column changes back from Stopped to Started, click on your Network Magic icon to restart the program on one computer only. Watch to map to make sure it populates correctly. If not, you can simply delete the networklib.xml file at this point without having to stop the service again. The map should start over again from scratch. (John.h2h, see at the bottom of this for a possible area to look at for your issue.) Once the map is correct, goto the next computer and do step 3 again. If the map is correct, disconnect the second computer from the network and proceed on to the next computer. If it changes, you only have two computers maps affected and it is simpler to correct at this point. Once all computers have correct maps, bring all online and all should be great.
4.       As I stated in the previous fix, make a copy of the networklib.xml file on at least on computer and use that one as your map base. If the map should go awry, you can replace the file after all of the other computers NM services have been stopped and the networklib.xml file has been deleted.
This looks more complicated than it is and I hope this helps.
John.h2h, two things that you may want to look at, I use a Brother laser printer for a network printer. The port address changed for whatever reason on my system. I had to open the printer properties on each computer and change the IP address to the correct one and the printer worked fine. Another place to look, and if this is the problem, Network Magic is only following rules. Do you have any DHCP address reserved in your router. I have assigned blockes of IP’s to the different types of hardware. Example, all desktops are assigned from 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.109, laptops are from 110 to 129, cameras, network drives and printer are from 130 to 145, and game consoles are from 146 to 149. I know that Netgear has the ability to set these. If you do have it reserved, either delete this in your router or change it. If you reserve the address with the IP and Mac address that you want, make sure that your computer is set to obtain IP address automatically.
Good luck, denpag

WCS 7.0.164.0 Report by vendor (device type)

WCS 7.0.164.0
I have been asked to produce a client’s report that shows all different vendors (devices type). We have about 10000 users in our system on about 3000 APs (light version) I created a client summary report but encountered some limitations:
If I select any time period over 6 hours, I get the message “The report you are trying to generate contains more than the supported number of records (10000). Change the report criteria to generate a report with fewer records”
If I select a time period of 6 hours or less, I get the report including vendor statistics. Is there any way to differentiate within the vendors by device type? For example instead of the vendor apple, get apple-iPhone, apple-iTouch, apple-laptop, etc.
I would like the ability to create my own reports, by I don’t think it is possible on the Version I’m running. All reports can be customized up to a point, but you still get information you might not care for.
Thanks for any information to overcome these issues.
Jorge Jiles.

Hi Jorge,
It looks like such a level of granularity may not be achievable yet.
Should you need such a feature to be evaluated for potentially being included in future software releases, I would recommend to contact your local Cisco account team.
They should be able to follow up and submit a product enhancement request (PER).
Business units will evaluate PERs and, if feasible for the market, they may consider implementing such an enhancement in future versions of the SW/HW.

Dynamic Internal Table - data type changed automatically

Dear All,
I have a requirement of craetion of dynamic inetrnal table which I have created referring to a custom table .
In that custom table there is field ZDC002 of type DEC(16,7) which is converted to data type P(9,7) .
Now it works fine if 2 digit and 7 decimals value passed like 12.1234567 but it gives overflow error when passing more than 2 digit value .
Please help me as I have no control to SAP standard functinality while creation of data-type . My piece of code :
ref_table_des ?=
cl_abap_typedescr=>describe_by_name( 'ZBW_EE_DCONTR' ).
idetails[] = ref_table_des->components[].
In this idetails[] table filedname data type changed from DEC16,7 to data type P(9,7). => Total Length of Packed Data Type is 9 which allows to contain only 2 numericdigits and 7 decimals => puts overflow error if more than 2 numeric data passed.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Sachin

Did you try to view the code on the Data Source view and cube that it is reflecting the correct data type on both places? if not you can change there and save it.

How SAP device type SWIN sends a page format?

Hi all,
I changed page format (from DINA4 to INCH12) for my SmartForm and try it print with SWIN (I2SWIN) device type.
It has printed with cca 11 xx paging (not full 12") so next pages move upper and upper.
So I have printed it to Text printer in Windows and look at Print controls. And I can find nothing about page formating.
Can you help me please? I would lke to send right page formating.
Note 21738 - Device type SAPWIN says that print control "Esc p xx;" - xx=40 is INCH12.

Yes, it was first thing I tried.
In "initialization" phase I used "\e%SAPWIN%" and "\ep40;" (German Std Fanfold with 8 1/2" width, 12" length). (In some notes was written SWIN doesnt support ""initialization" phase, so I tried, in second step, use it in "first page" too.)
Form output looks like here:
" %SAPWIN% p40; %SAPWIN% OCb Op1 Os1 PP "
It doesnt work. Printed pages (length) have been same as about A4 length yet .
As you can see, printer driver "SWIN SAPlpd/SAPWIN driver 3.0 " add control " %SAPWIN%" after my "add-on's". Is it good, or are my settings deleted by using of it?
Whar are you thinking about:
" Esc q m; Set page length in m*1/10 millimeters (SAPLPD 4.25 or higher)"
+"Esc O M p|l p = Use physical paper edge
l = Use logical paper edge (printable area) [default
(commands only effective with enable_phys_margins=1 [default)"+
