Print Button in paper Layout reports

Hi All,
I have created a paper layout report with desformat = html.Its working fine.
Now my requirement is to print the report after the report is displayed on the browser.
Can I keep print button in reports ?
Please suggest me a solution.
Regards
Srini

Add some javascript to your report to submit the page to the printer. Use one of the report escapes (look at the properties of the report...double click the report in the object navigator). You can actually add some javascript in one of those escapes to submit the print job after the page has been loaded. I have never used one of those report escapes but that should work.
if you can do that, you should also be able to add an html button to the top of the page to accomplish the same thing or add a hyperlink to the report that submits another report with desformat = pdf which will probably print out much nicer. All of this should work with using report escapes.

Apex 4.0 Paper Layout Reports

Hi All,
I'm exploring Oracle Apex for the first time. I have just downloaded Apex 4.0 and would like to see if I can create a paper layout report. For example I would like to produce a Profit & Loss statement as well as a Balance Sheet from my existing database tables.
I have done something similar in Oracle Reports 6i some years ago.
In Apex I have managed to create an interactive report as well as a SQL report. However, these don't look anything like a plain A4 report. I'm guessing this is possible with Apex ?
Do I need to change the default theme for the page I have created ?
Any hints will be much appreciated.
Thanks
Billy

Hi Tony,
Thanks for the prompt reply.
I have had a quick look on the net about your proposed solution to use cocoon. Although, it seems as though this may work it appears to be quite a tedious way to go from a user point of view.
As for BI Publisher, it's quite expensice the last time I looked.
I would have thought Oracle Apex could do something so basic out of the box. Maybe not !
Thanks
Billy

Creating a print button to call a Report Query and pass filters

If i use the REPORT QUERY option in APEX 4 to create an statement that is the same one used in an interactive report, can I create a link or button to the REPORT QUERY and pass all the session and filter information from the interactive report to the report query?
This way I can have the interactive report screen where the user can do all sorts of modifications and such and then pass those to the REPORT QUERY so I can call that from a custom link or button.
You may ask "why does he need another print button?"
Answer: I am using a view that has some embedded HTML tags to format the output really nicely. The HTML download version created by the interactive reports works beautifully. The customer also wants a PDF version (meh) which does not render the HTML tags and actually echos them as part of the text. I found that I can create another view that uses the CHR function to create all the breaks and such I was doing with HTML and these do render properly in PDF. So, I figured just have 2 reports: 1 Interactive and 1 using a REPORT QUERY. I just want to call the REPORT QUERY version but use the Interactive Search form to set all the parameters.
Or, am I over thinking this and there is an easier method?
I made a previous post where I showed how I got the APEX printing to work and i hoped that helped someone out - fixing this issue would put the whole thing to rest.
Thanks

Is BI Publisher desktop (MS Word add-in) a possibility? This would allow you to use MS Word to create your output template (RTF) that would result in a properly formatted PDF. Of course, you'd have to right an updated version of the query without HTML embedded. Just thinking outside of the box.

SAVE & PRINT Button Enable for Graph Report

Hi All,
I have developed a report for displaying a graphical hierarchy.But the 'SAVE" & 'PRINT' button is in disable mode.
I am using the 'GRAPH_HIERARCHY' function module for displaying the graph.
Could anyone please suggest me how to enable the 'SAVE' & 'PRINT' button.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards
Sathish

Hi Sathish,
You can create your own PF-Status by copying it from the standard PF-Status of the output list. Then you include the print & save button.
To get the GUI status of the output list follow menu path SYSTEM => STATUS to get the GUI status & its program.
Go to SE41(Menu Painter) => enter the Standard Program & status name & click on copy button to copy these to a Z one & then finally use it in your program using SET PF-STATUS statement.
Please close the thread if it solves your query.

Please help me in resolving this issue and points will be rewarded for sure

Solved myself.
The answer lies in this link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/76/489d39d342de00e10000000a11402f/frameset.htm
See the following two properties under Paging:
Columns Scrolled for Each Step (BLOCK_COLUMNS_STEP_SIZE)
Rows Scrolled for Each Step (BLOCK_ROWS_STEP_SIZE)
The values of these two properties have to be changed in the Web Template you are using for your BI Reports.

How to create 2 print buttons on a sql report ?

hello,
i work on apex 4 and database 11GR2, i configure bipublisher for advanced printing.
On a sql report i want to have an excel Button and a Pdf button with redirect URL.
I don't know how to specify in the URL the format output.
I see in the help
"use the output format derived from item option and include the item name and value in your Print URL."
but i look for an example of URL.
Best regards
Jean marc

So, you have to specify a hidden item which contains the value, then specify in print attributes the item name (mine is P5000_TYPE)
Then you would have button redirect URLs of:
javascript:redirect('f?p=&APP_ID.:&APP_PAGE_ID.:&SESSION.:FLOW_XMLP_OUTPUT_R1483125430108678:::P5000_TYPE:PDF') ;and
javascript:redirect('f?p=&APP_ID.:&APP_PAGE_ID.:&SESSION.:FLOW_XMLP_OUTPUT_R1483125430108678:::P5000_TYPE:XLS')
to print in pdf and xls respectively.

While Printing using Print Button on Crysal Report Loses focus.

Hi all,
I am using CR XI along with VS2003 for developing my application.
My application uses a Treeview to list all the available reports, once user select one of the report. I am using another dll, which contain all the rpt files as Embedded Resource, for showing the report in Crystal report viewer.
Once report get loaded, I am using Print Button from Crystal report viewer to print the report.
report get printed properly..
However a strange behavior occurring, Form with Crystal report viewer control placed loses focus and immediate below window coming into focus (some other opened window get activated and bring to front and hiding my application).
Any suggestion would be appreciated.
Thank you
Riju K K

Hi Brian,
Thanks for you are reply.
I think I am not creating a separate process,
From my application, I am creating an instance of form (which is in another DLL) which is hosting Crystal report viewer.
If click "Print" button on the Crystal report viewer, I am getting a Printer selection form.
If I cancel from there ,my Crystal report viewer form get focus back.
If select a printer and click "OK". my Crystal report viewer form lost focus and some of the other window opened (word, ie, etc) before get focus.
My assumption is Crystal Report viewer's "Print" button may be using a separate thread for Printing.
that may creating this focus issue.
what you think?

How to screen capture paper Layout model in oracle reports

Hi,
I have several reports and i need to be able to capture paper layout (model) view in pdfs or jpgs for presentation etc. Short of going and doing screen prints, is there an automated/batch way to do that since i have several reports. One path that comes to my mind is the XML route with appropriate style sheet that preserves the pdf look and feel)
Note that i am not asking to run a report with data which i can do manually, but instead need the layout model in the jpg/gif/pdf formats.
Thanks,

Hi
How do you know that your report server is up and running?

Report Designer - Formatting in paper layout

Hello,
I have been struggling with a request to develop a very detailed report in printed (paper Layout) format.
I am OK with the data output, but spending too much time trying to get the graphical formatting to an acceptable level.
Does anyone have any suggestions on my issue below?
Or - does any one know of a source for online help/totorials specifically for graphical layout part of design in paper layout?
My Project is a shipping document. It has address type information repeating at the top of every page, item details in the body, and static general information at the bottom of each page.
My challenge is with the static information at the bottom of the page.
- If the document contains only a few item detials, the bottom information should remain at the very bottom of the first page and not move upwards
- If the document contains more than one page worth of detials, the bottom information should print at the bottom of every page.
So far, I got it to stop moving upwards, but now it is missing on page 1 and only prints onto page 2
next part. In the static information is space to include a total Qty (the total is easy). I need the total to print only on the last page, all previous pages should print text such as 'Continued on next page'
If anyone could give me a push in the right direction, i would be very grateful.

Hamid,
To simplify, I have removed any repreating frame from the bottom leaving only a large fixed frame containing multiple fixed frames.
On your first suggestion:
If I change Print Obect On: to 'Last Page' as sugested, I get an error 'Obect M_1 has an illegal print condition'. If I leave it set to 'All Pages', it prints but moves up the page immediatly following the last record
On your second suggestion:
I moved the fixed frame outside of the margin. And received very simiar results.
I had read that I might need to use an anchor to make the position releative to another object. Might this be the case?

Need help adding a second page on reports builder, paper layout.

Hi,
I have a requirement where I need to create a paper layout using Reports Builder (10.1.2.0.2). This report will print out the following:
1) Invoice
2) VAT Slip (on a separate page)
So far I have created the invoice part and it is printing properly. Now I want to add the Vat slip. When I use the "Trailer Section" on the rdf report, I create a frame and inserted some text. The report ran just fine. Then in the same frame, I added a repeating frame. And now the report is completing with the following error:
APPLLCSP Environment Variable set to :
Current NLS_LANG and NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS Environment Variables are :
American_America.UTF8
stat_low = 86
stat_high = 0

Anyone have any idea why this is happening? Any help is much appreciated.
Or is there any way I can add a page that has to be printed after the invoice?
Thanks
-Nelly

If you have created your own template (but it sounds like you haven't) you will need to 'capture' that page so it repeats on following pages.
The whole process is described here:

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_GRIDu201D,
u201CZCL_RSR_XLS_ITEM_TEMPLATEu201D,
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.

Crystal report print button greyed out in user citrix sessions

Hi,
We are running Citrix Enterprise Server 4.5 on Windows 2003 servers.
We have a ERP app called Epicor 7.3.6 installed on them.
Crystal Reports 9 is installed on all these servers and the epicor app displays and prints crystal reports.
Some users when logged into their Citrix profile session and running Crystal Reports from within Epicor application can not print the Crystal report because the Print button is greyed out.
We have compared users that can print against users who can not not print and not found anything at the network, file permissions, application permissions, printer setup setting level.
Also, if we were to take citirx completely out of the discussion, what might cause the print button to be greyed out in a crystal report when it is displayed (not the developer, but in the minmal window that shows the export, print, magnify options only).
Thanks
Chris

Check with Epicor. We don't know how Epicor implemented the solution so it's kinda like you asking a mechnic to fix your car, but he can't open the hood to see the engine.
A tip; this is more than likely due to permissions. So, compare between boxes thast work and don't work. Use [Process Monitor|http://technet.microsoft.com/en-ca/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx] to track permission issues.
