PDF Report produces greek output for english charecters

Hi All,
I have created a PDF report in Times new roman font. However, all the data comes out in greek charecters. This has been the problem for me from quite long. I managed to get aorund by choosing some other font and this time even that does not seem to work.
I tried with all the possible fonts and did not seem to work at all.
Could someone help me out in resolving this..
Thanks In advance...

Hello,
There is a know problem about the font Symbol (When this font is used, it seems to be greek ..°

XML publisher report not generating output for huge XML files

Changed Depreciation Projections Report output type to XML.
Defined a Data Definition and a new Data Template (RTF) for this report.
Ran the Depreciation Projection Report to generate the XML output.
Ran the XML Report Publisher report to generate teh PDF/Excel output of the above report.
Output generated for smaller XML files. When XML size is big, the program is running for hours without generating the output.
Teh RTF template is basically a matrix report in which the number of columns in the report is based on the number of periods the report is run for.
The same is not working in the Desktop version also. The system is hanging when i try to view the preview pdf.
The XML file size is approximately 33 MB.
Please let me know if there is any way we can increase the memory size to see the output.
Thanks,
Ram.

Fbl5n report showing pritn output for a new customer on a new page

Hello All,
In fbl5n when i execute for all the customers and give print command its printing every new customer on a new page but i want to print the data continously.
Pls let me knw how to avoid this?
Sunny

Hi Sunny,
you're case is quite common, because SAP displays the customer data in a standard layout, putting a page break after every customer and company code.
In order to avoid this, you may change the grouping criteria. For that,
1. be sure that you have not clicked on the header of any column in the list
2. click on button "sort ascending"
3. here you'll see that fields "company code" and "account" have an asterisk on column NG (new group). This means that, for every change in these fields, SAP will insert a page break
4. remove these asterisks
5. (optional) save this layout for further launchings of the report
I hope this helps. Best regards,
Alvaro

Conditional pdf Output for a report

Hi, depending on the value for one particular filed in my XML, I need to generate the pdf output.
For eg.. If Reqd = 'N', I don't want the XML publisher to generate the pdf output else if the value is 'Y', it should generate the output.
In my current implmenetation, The pdf report is getting generated for all cases.. i need to put the above mentioned check to restrict it .
If you have an idea on how to acheive it, please let me know.
Thanks and Regards
Madhu

Hi,
The first thing you'll need to do is to create a form field before any content in your rtf file.
The form field shall contains the following code in the Add help text:
<?if:REQD='N'?>Restricted content..<?end if?>
<?if:REQD='Y'?>The next form field shall be placed in the bottom of your file, containing:
<?end if?>I hope that helps.

PDF Report with BLOB image

I have a PDF report produced from APEX using BI Publisher. I also have up to 4 images stored in BLOB fields that I would like to include in the PDF report. I found a reference for how to do this with APEX 3.1 (using a blob2clobase64 function), however I am using APEX 3.0 and this does not seem to work with this version. Does anyone have an example of how I can achieve this with APEX 3.0 and BI Publisher? Thanks, Karen.

Bug in PDF Report generation?

Hi everyone!
We have a problem! We need to print user data, including an initial password, on paper, one user per page. In the report section there is a choice of number of users per page.
However, if one(1) user per page is chosen, the PDF-generator produces a document with only one page, and just one user, where it should be about 40 (test environment).
Just running the report in the browser produces a corrects number of pages according to the number of users.
Is this a bug? Are there any workarounds?
Thanks,
Anders

We solved but not so sure about the cause.
It had something to do with character encoding in PDF reports.

Error only in PDF report generation not HTML

The same report exports fine in HTML. This only happens when exporting a PDF report:
com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.ReportSDKException: 26---- Error code:-2147467259 Error code name:failed
The application was developed by our developer team and it is hosted in a Windows Server 2008 R2.
Does someone had the same problem ?

Add Hyperlink in PDF report

hi All,
I would like to add hyperlinks to my pdf reports.
I have a image column in my report which is hyperlink.
Can i do that in pdf reports.
Thanks

hi
thanks for you reply.
But my problem is somewhat different.
What i meant was i have a column in the database with the image hyperlink. ie the column is something like this
http://myitem/myimage.
i want to display this hyperlink in my pdf report so that when the customer clicks on that hyperlink it displays the image.
This was my first priority.
But i am also considering what you suggested ie i display an generic image which says link to image And when the users clicks on that it displays the image of the item.
But the image is unique for that item and i have to specify the hyperlink programatically for each item on the report.
How do i specify the hyperlink for each item programaticaly.
thanks in advance

Server Core 2008 R2 SP1 - AD DS Best Practice Analyzer Scans Don't Produce Any Output

Hi,
This is a re-post moving this discussion to the recommended forum "Server Core" from here:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winservergen/thread/cc33d429-88e0-4450-a73c-361e395fd217.
I am having problems producing any output for any AD DS Best Practice Analyzer Scans on a Windows Server Core 2008 R2 SP1 Domain Controller.
I have imported the "ServerManager" and "BestPractices" PS modules on that Server by running the following commands:
Import-Module ServerManager
Import-Module BestPractices
I've then run
get-BPAModel, to find out what best practice scan models are availale, this returns the following output:
Id
LastScanTime
Microsoft/Windows/DirectoryServices     Never
Microsoft/Windows/DNSServer               Never
I then run all the BPA scans on that box:
Get-BPAModel | Invoke-BPAModel
This returns the following output:
ModelId
Success Detail
Microsoft/Windows/DirectoryServices True       (InvokeBpaModelOutputDetail)
Microsoft/Windows/DNSServer          True       (InvokeBpaModelOutputDetail)
Since the BPA invocation results weren’t displayed automatically, I entered the following command to see them:
Get-BPAModel | Get-BPAResult | Out-File "D:\Source\BPA.txt"
This command will create a text file with the scan results but I only see the results of the DNSServer scan, not the DirectoryServices scan.
I have also tried to view the results in a HTML format by running the following command but still only see the DNSServer scan results:
Get-BPAModel | Get-BPAResult | ConvertTo-Html | Set-Content d:\Source\BPA.htm
I have also tried exeucuting the scan ONLY for the "Microsoft/Windows/DirectoryServices" model but can't get any results to be returned. I have also connected using server manager from a Full install of Server 2008 R2 SP1 but that
doesn't seem to show any results under the "Best Practices Analyzer" section when the "Active Directory Domain Services" node is selected, all 4 tabs ("Noncompliant", "Excluded", "Compliant" and "All") show zero (0). However, the summary text above the
tabs does show when the last scan was performed. which seems to be correct.
Is there something special that needs to be done to produce the BPA results for the "Microsoft/Windows/DirectoryServices" BPA model on Server Core 2008 R2 SP1?
BTW: The Forest/Domain is W2K3R2 Native, this is the first W2K8R2 DC in the environment and I have installed .NET 4 framework (Server Core) to support Powershell 3, also installed.
Thanks, Paul.

Hi Diana,
OK, pretty sure I've now found the root cause of the issue I've described above.
I was also looking into Windows Update Agent issues for these W2K8R2 Server Core DC's, where no updates would be applied via WSUS (configured via GPO) and would fail with "FATAL: CBS called Error with 0x8000ffff windows update agent server
core".
Yesterday, I managed to get one of the W2K8R2 Server Core DC's (WSUS updates) working again by removing one of the .NET 4 Framework security updates (KB2600211) which was manually applied when the server was initially setup. .NET 4 (Server Core Edition
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=22833) was installed as a pre-requisitie for Powershell 3. Once this update was removed, the affected server core DC was restarted and WSUS updates started to get applied.
So I followed the same procedure on the other server core DC but this did not resolve the WSUS issue this time.  Next, I did further investigation into the Windows Update Agent problem. This led me to the following article:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/brad_rutkowski/archive/2008/07/03/windows-update-fails-with-8000ffff-e-unexpected.aspx which described an issue with NTFS permissions being set incorrectly on C: drive, with the "BUILTIN\Users" group completely
missing on the C: drive.
I found the affected Server Core DC also had this issue and when the "BUILTIN\Users" was assigned permissions on the C: drive as described above, and the Windows Update Agent re-started, the Server Core DC started to install all required updates
configured via WSUS.
Next, I ran the Directory Service BPA, which now produces the desired output either locally or remotely via Server Manager.
Therefore, I can only assume that the Directory Service BPA also uses "Network Service" much like WUAUSERV (Windows Update Agent), which requires access to the C: drive via the "BUILTIN\Users" assignment.
So this has subsequently led me to check the C: drive (%systemdrive%) permissions across multiple W2K8R2 machines, all of which showed differing assigned permissions, as follows:
1. W2K8R2 Server Core DC - With Directory Services BPA and Windows Update Agent Not Working
C:\>icacls c:\
c:\ BUILTIN\Administrators:(OI)(CI)(F)
    CREATOR OWNER:(OI)(CI)(IO)(F)
    NT AUTHORITY\INTERACTIVE:(OI)(CI)(RX)
    NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(OI)(CI)(F)
2. W2K8R2 Server Core DC - With Directory Services BPA and Windows Update Agent Working OK
C:\>icacls c:\
c:\ NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(OI)(CI)(F)
    BUILTIN\Administrators:(OI)(CI)(F)
    BUILTIN\Users:(OI)(CI)(RX)
    BUILTIN\Users:(CI)(AD)
    BUILTIN\Users:(CI)(IO)(WD)
    CREATOR OWNER:(OI)(CI)(IO)(F)
3. W2K8R2 Full DC - With Directory Services BPA and Windows Update Agent Working OK
C:\>icacls c:
c: NT SERVICE\TrustedInstaller:(F)
   NT SERVICE\TrustedInstaller:(CI)(IO)(F)
   NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(M)
   NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(OI)(CI)(IO)(F)
   BUILTIN\Administrators:(M)
   BUILTIN\Administrators:(OI)(CI)(IO)(F)
   BUILTIN\Users:(RX)
   BUILTIN\Users:(OI)(CI)(IO)(GR,GE)
   CREATOR OWNER:(OI)(CI)(IO)(F)
4. W2K8R2 Server Core DHCP Server (Migrated from W2K3 with Server Migration Tools) - With DHCP BPA and Windows Update Agent Working OK
C:\>icacls c:
c: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(OI)(CI)(F)
   BUILTIN\Administrators:(OI)(CI)(F)
5. W2K8R2 Server Core DHCP Server (Migrated from W2K3 with netsh) - With DHCP BPA and Windows Update Agent Working OK
C:\>icacls c:
c: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(OI)(CI)(F)
   BUILTIN\Administrators:(OI)(CI)(F)
   BUILTIN\Users:(OI)(CI)(RX)
   BUILTIN\Users:(CI)(AD)
   BUILTIN\Users:(CI)(IO)(WD)
   CREATOR OWNER:(OI)(CI)(IO)(F)
None of the above servers have a Group Policy or any in-house scripts defined that configure C: drive permissions. It seems odd that there should be such a variance in the C: (%systemdrive%) drive permissions across the above servers, with only
scenarios 2 and 5 above have matching permissions. I can only imagine that maybe some software or software update might be causing this.
By reviewing the above output, it seems there is also a difference between the C: drive permissions of W2K8R2 Server Core and W2K8R2 Full. Not sure if this is by design?
Is there any Microsoft Documentation describing what the default %systemdrive% NTFS permissions should be for W2K8R2 Server Core and Full. Furthermore, do these permissions change when the various infrastructure roles are installed and enabled i.e.
Domain Controller, DHCP etc. I ask, since I would like to use the correct set of permissions for %systemroot% in each scenario. Please advise if I should be asking this question in a different forum?

Need help on using Netbeans 4.1 to produce dos output.

I'm used to having compilers to produce dos output for basic applications. With eclipse it has it's own output window which I like, but netbeans doesn't really isolate the output into a seperate window, but kind of bundles it in the status window. Is there a way to automate or change an option to show the output in dos or a seperate window?

I'm used to having compilers to produce dos output for basic applications. Whats "dos output"?
With eclipse it has it's own output window which I like,
but netbeans doesn't really isolate the output into a seperate window,
but kind of bundles it in the status window. That "status window" is the Output window in netbeans parlance. You can separate windows by dragging them anywhere.
Is there a way to automate or change an option to show the output in dos or a seperate window?If you really want it to be a totally separate window, change to the SDI mode - look in the help for this.

Issue in PDF output for xml report

Hi,
I developed one template in RTF and output in pdf is looks fine.
I have issue in the output, For some invoices i have more lines,when the line details comes to next page for the same invoice i can able to view only the lines information in the next pages for the same invoice without any header details.
I need header information too if the lines comes to the next page.
i given <G_Headers> in the top of the page and <End for each> in the end of the page.
please how to resolve this issue.
with regards
Ram

There are lot of ways of doing this,
Simple one is given here.
If you are using table to display the rows, there is option in word table properties, to repeat the header in each page,
Repeating table headers
If your data is displayed in a table, and you expect the table to extend across
multiple pages, you can define the header rows that you want to repeat at the start
of each page.
1. Select the row(s) you wish to repeat on each page.
2. From the Table menu, select Heading Rows Repeat
