Print a web-report to a local printer

Dear All
I have a form(10g) with a report object that its destination type is 'PRINTER'. This form is run from application server (Form services 10g).The report is now sent to printer that set on AppServer machine. But I want to have it on local printer.
How can I config my application in order to send the report (.rdf) to my locan priner that set on my PC?
Thanks in advance ...
Iman

If you don't want to use the PJC you have other solutions.
In some cases you can add your local printer on the application server, this is done when your application is running on an intranet. You can also use the orarrp utility provided by Oracle.

Migrating Webi Reports from one to other Server

Hi
i have created a Webi Report in one local Server and i want to export the report to another server which is not a cluster of this local server,(like i want to do report in local and export in Client places)
when i copy the Webi Document (.WID) to the other server, i am not able to view the report,
I am getting an errro message
(The document has been locked by the user 'Administrator' on the following cluster : '@servername:portnumber'. You cannot open this document on the current cluster. To open the document, log on the correct cluster as the correct user and save the document unsecured. If the cluster is not reachable, try to connect to the following system :@servername:portnumber ''. If this system is not reachable or not online, try the previous offline session with the connection ''. (WIS 30912)
is there any other way to implement this ?

Couple of qns:
>> Are you accessing BO server machine to dev WebI??
>> Developed WebI reports are you exporting to Server(as you are Client)??
If both are different servers: You have to Use IMPORt WIZARD.

Hi,
BW Web Publisher Toolbar
The version of the toolbar that you use with the Web Publisher, depends on whether you store the Web templates on the BW server or the ITS server (see Determining Path and ITS Settings).
If you have chosen the ITS as the server, the toolbar has the following functions:
Symbol
Function
Create new ITS Web template
You use this function to create a new Web template.
Check out ITS Web Template
You use this function to check out an ITS Web template, and store it locally. Storing the ITS Web template locally, means that you are able to change it, by adding a new item, for example. You either overwrite the old ITS Web template, or create a new one. You have to store the new ITS template under a new name.
Check in ITS Web Template
The ITS Web template is checked in, and saved in the BW system.
Publish to ITS
The ITS Web template is stored on the ITS you select.
Display Web template in the Browser
The Web template that has been checked in and published on the ITS, is displayed in the Web Browser.
Copy HTML tag to clipboard
You use this function to save the item as an HTML tag on the clipboard.
Wizard
This function takes you to the Web Publisher Wizard.
See also:
Creating Web Reports with the Web Publisher Wizard
If you have chosen BW as the server, the toolbar has the following functions:
The publish function is deactivated, because it is only used in conjunction with ITS Web templates. The other symbols have the same functions as described in the above table, but they refer instead to Web templates that are stored on the BW server.
Views
The saved query views that the Web reports are based on, are displayed in the Views field. You use the Switch Workbook button to get to the Open dialog, where you open queries in other workbooks.
Items
The items that are already available for the view you have chosen are displayed in the Items field.
Choose New Item to create a new item, and to specify the item type used (map, chart, table, navigation block, and so on).
Choose Change Attribute to determine the value of the highlighted attribute for the item you have chosen.
Choose Save item to save the item you have been editing.
Choose Delete item to delete the selected item.
Properties of the Current Item
In the Properties of the current item field, the attributes that correspond to the item type you have selected are displayed. Depending on the type of attribute, you activate or deactivate attributes by double-clicking on the relevant attribute, and you determine the value of the attribute with either a double-click, or by choosing the Change Attribute... function.
You can convert the spool to PDF using the program RSTXPDFT5 or
using the fun module CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF.
then you can mail it to others using the fun module
SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1.

Printing web report by Excel

Dear BW people,
I tried to use the solution of Tobias Kaufmann to print web reports by means of Excel. When I apply this way of working to my report on BW 3.5, it works just fine. ut... when I do exactly the same on <b>BW 3.10</b> no Excel file is generated (though the HTML report refreshes).
I tried to search a reason for this in debugging mode several times and for several hours and I discussed this issue with colleagues but without any result. Anybody with experience on this topic on a BW 3.10 server? If so, did this work and were some modifications necessary?
Thank you very much!
Best regards,
Bart

It seems that the two notes in the requirements part is necessary for our BW3.10.
Still I still have three issues regarding the page setup of a printed Excel sheet. After spending a LOT of time, I was able to solve the problems... Is there a OfficeHTML-BW expert ?
1° I would like to put filter values in the header of each printed paper. The How To document uses this parameter in the @page section:
mso-header-data:"&L&0022Arial,Fett0022&12&G&C&0022Arial,Fett0022&14<&[REPTXTLG]> und
<&[DATAPROVIDER_1/REPTXTLG]>";
Is there a way to replace the queryname () by filter values?
2° On the first page the table has columnheaders (normal), but on the second page these headers are not repeated.
3° Even when I remove the <x:FitWidth>1</x:FitWidth>
<x:FitHeight>2</x:FitHeight> and the use <x:scale>100</x:scale>, the result of the report is ALWAYS printed (fit to) 1 page. Ofcourse the texts are way to small. How can I make sure the report is printed in a normal way?
I hope someone can answer at least one of my issues.
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Bart

How to print sap bex query varaibles in webi report

Dear Friends,
I created a webi Report on universe ( Based on SAP BW Bex Query with variables).
its working fine. Now i want to show the selected variable values on the top of my webi report.
How can i access and print my bex query variables on header of my webi report.
We are using BOE 3.1 SP2, SAP BI 7.02.
Regards
Malik

Malik
That is default behavior of BO. The integration mapping from BI to BO will populates like that, COZ you made BI variable on top of Date dimension, which needs From and TO fields.
To display that info, what user has selected on the fly:
As suggested, use UserResponse() function.
keep in mind, prompt text and userresponse text must be identical. Otherwise, it wont't work.
Eg: prompt Text: Enetr From Date:
Var: =UserResponse(Enter From Date:) -->> Results: (Blank)
Why?? Prompt text Enetr not Enter
Hope it clears you.

Direct Print a webi report, from InfoView

Hi,
I want to direct print a webi report after I open it with InfoView, but i don't know if it's possible.
Right now, when I open a webi report in InfoView I have a button saying "Print to PDF", which will open that report as a PDF document.
But I want to print directly to a printer and not to open the report in a pdf viewer.
Is there a way to have a direct print button in InfoView for webi documents ?
Thank you.
Eugen

Hi Eugen,
At this point it is not possible.
Here is SAP Notes which clearly state that SAP BOJ is aware of it and got several enhancement request and these requests are reviewed every six months. Since these requests require major changes in the software, SAP BOBJ has not given any time frame of availability of this feature.
Here is SAP NOTE: 1345933

WebI Report not printing correctly

Hi,
I've a WebI report for whcih the page layout is set as Letter and orientation set as Portrait. when I export this report and try printing it, the print preview shows that single report page is coming up in 2 pages while printing. however when I set the magrings as 0.25 for all the sides while printing the report appears good. Is there any wasy of superimposing these values in WebI report so that this is not needed to be done manually? Or is there any other methos to get it fixed?
Please help!
Thanks!
Neha.

Hi,
You can use, format table-> avoid page break(horizontally and vertically). Also at page setup toolbar,
you can set your pages to scale a certain number of pages. Just change "automatic" value to 1 page for horizontal and vertical page layout, and you won't get second pages.

Print button on Web report.

Hi gurus,
We were trying to add a print button on Web report for printing the result area on the Web report.
We followed the steps which has given in the How-to-guide How To Web Printing with Microsoft
Excel document.
In the document it has mentioned that
1. Support package should be above 19 for BW 3.5 version
2. Add HTML code in the WAD Template
3. Import Transport file into the System.
4. Apply OSS notes 736568 and 737082 to BW
We upgraded the support package to 22, added the html code in the WAD template, imported the transport file into the BW system and applied the OSS notes as per the mentioned in the document.
The transport file contains the Package u201CZPK_WEB_PRINTING_WITH_EXCELu201D and ABAP Classes u201CZCL_RSR_XLS_GRIDu201D,
u201CZCL_RSR_XLS_HELP_WINDOW_PRINTu201D,
u201CZCL_RSR_XLS_ITEM_CONDITIONu201D,
u201CZCL_RSR_XLS_ITEM_EXCEPTIONu201D,

u201CZCL_RSR_XLS_ITEM_TEXT_ELEMENTSu201D,
u201CZCL_RSR_XLS_TABLEu201D
After import the transport file into BW, some of the objects in the ABAP Classes were not activated. I was trying to activate manually but those were not activating.
Please guide me how to resolve the above issue or is there any way to get the printing the web report?
Thanks in advance.
Venkata.

Hi
If you want to print the web page directly then you can define a button using Java script and you can do it.
Define java script code to print the page
for ex define a button and call function for print.
i cannot attach the code. but you can solve with java script

Print Preview in web report problem

After Clicking Print buttonn on the web report, i select Print Preview from IE Explorer and here the variable values passed to the print function in web template, are getting displayed and actually it is part of URL , getting displayed in the Print Preview.
any ideas ..
i have already cleared the value of title and footer in page setup.
and this is a junk data in the header in the print preview
it will be something like this,
User%20ID:%xyz%20printed%20 etc...
actually i am passing below values to the print function,
&P_FOOTER_RIGHT='+SYUSER + '&P_HEADER_LEFT='+REPTXTLG +
'&P_FOOTER_LEFT=' +INFOCUBE

Do you use a field for coloring a column or cell?
If the coding is not too large it could be helpfull to post the coding as well.

Error in Printing Web Reports

Hi,
I have a requirement from an User. The user wants to take printouts of a web report and is using options: portrait / landscape from BW. The problem is that the entire report doesn't print. It trucates columns off to the right, and if the report is on more than one page, not all information is displayed. We have tried various options in the web and printer settings, including paper effects but the problem persists. I have attached a screen shot of the same.
I can now only think of suggesting the user to export the web report to excel, format it and take printouts, but that is not a solution to this problem.
Would appreciate help if anybody has worked on this kind of problem earlier.

Hi Vidyut,
unfortunately I cannot help you, but I am working for a customer right now and he had the same problem. We suggest the same, export to excel and print it there. We now hope that BW in NW2004s has this web printing option as claimed in several papers.
Greetings,
Daniel

Very Urgent! Print Report output to local printer on button click in form

In Sales Order Form there is a print receipt button. In current situation On Clicking the 'Print Receipt Button' it submits a XML Publisher report(PDF output) to the concurrent manager. Currently to print that report i need to go view--> requests--> view output and then print. According to my new Requirement i need to print that report directly to local printer on one simple Print receipt button click in form.
I am trying to call the printers on server using custom.pll. The report is running successfully but it is not printing output to the local printer. I need to print the report to the local printers based on responsibility. Local printers are available on apps server. Can anyone help me on this issue ASAP.
Is it possible to print the document using custom.pll? Is there any other alternative to print the report on simple button click in form.
Environment: Apps 11.5.10.2, Forms 6i
Here is the code that i am using in my custom.pll.
if (v_form_name = 'OEXOETEL' --and v_block_name = 'LINES_SUMMARY'
     and name_in('parameter.ACTIONS') = 'PAYMENT_RECEIPT' )THEN
l_organization_id := Name_In('PARAMETER.OE_ORGANIZATION_ID');

IF (l_new_request_id = 0) THEN
FND_MESSAGE.RETRIEVE;
FND_MESSAGE.ERROR;
else
l_commit_result := APP_FORM.QuietCommit;
END IF;
I need to complete this requirement immediately. Can anyone suggest me better ways in doing this.
Thanks,

I solved this problem myself using shell script through custom.pll. I wrote shellscript and called that shellscript through FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST.It printed 2 copies to local printer.
