Print BW Report from Portal 6.0

Hi,
I have a BW report iView and I would like to print the BW report from Portal. I don't see an option to print directly from Portal.
Is it the only way to print is "export to Excel and print it from there" ?
We are on EP6 and BW 3.5.
Thanks for your answers.
Regards,
Megha.

Hi Megha Bokam,
I'm not a BW person but as far as I remember there is an HTML section when creating BW reports.
Try to put:
<a href="javascript:print();">Print Report</a>
in tis HTML section.

PDF Reports from Portal

My goal: PDF report for print-out, launched from Portal, that displays text and image (.jpeg, .gif, .bmp, etc.) data pulled from the database. Currently, users retrieve this data right from the portal via JSP portlets. This works great. We'd like to get a good-looking report containing this data for inclusion in electronic documents and hard copy files and PDF seems a good way to go. Right now, my idea is to create the report from SQL query in Report Builder creading a .rdf file and somehow launch this from the Portal allowing users to pass selection parameters.
Questions:
1. What's best way to launch a .rdf report (PDF output) from Portal?
2. What are the tricks of pulling in and displaying blob data (from Portal30 schema) in a .rdf report with PDF output?
Thanks!

Take a look at the Portal - Reports integration documentation. It will tell you how to deploy Oracle Reports on the Portal.
As far as displaying images, Report Builder Online Help -> search on word image ->selecting image from the database.

Unable to print the reports from Transaction iViews

Hi Experts,
We have configured SAP Transctions iViews in portal. These transactions are basically of reports, when we want to print the report from EP. When clicking on the Print from the Transaction iView we are getting the error "File does not begin with '%PDF".
iView launches in HTML Gui.
When we launch the same report from ECC directly login with GUI we are able to take the print.
Is there any settings need to be maintain in "FRONTEND_PRINT" service.
Thanks
Murthy

Hi,
Check the note Note 1042424 - Printing in WebGUI: Error "File does not begin with '%PDF-'"
This should help resolve the problem.

Print a report from Application Express direct to a CUPS Printer

Hi all, I'm new to this technology, is it possible to print a report from Application Express directly to a CUPS Printer? Can someone tell me in laymans terms how to do it? I find the terminology and documentation less than helpful.

Jeremy,
BI Publisher handles submitting reports directly to a CUPS printer. However, the APEX integration doesn't currently integrate with that portion of BI Publisher.
Here's an options:
Use the Java API of BI Publisher to build a custom Java program that would do this for you. Delivering to CUPS is part of the Java API.

Print Message Report from Mobile

Hello...
We need modify standard mobile infrastructure java code...
We need print some report from Mobile Front-end.
Is possible to print all MESSAGE data that we can see from front-end of mobile infrastructure 2.5 ???
thank you very much
Stefano

I haven't really done much enhancements on MAM 2.5, but Im sure sami will let you know where to add the code, or you can review the MAM enhancement guide on the CD.
In regards to printing the PIOS API is pretty simple. If you are using a laptop to print to a normal printer then you can just use the Win32 Drivers..(installed via driver addon from web sap console.)If you are using the handheld you will need to find the appropriate drivers.
Here is some code I used in one of my applications:
 Connector conn = Connector.getInstance();
 DriverInfo[] driverInfo = conn.listDrivers(ConnectionType.PRINTER);
 PrinterParameters params = new PrinterParameters(driverInfo[0]);
 params.setPrinterMode(PrinterParameters.GRAPHIC_MODE);
 GraphicPrinter gp = (GraphicPrinter) conn.open(params);
 File myImage = new File("c:
smalllogo.bmp");
 if (myImage.exists()) {
 float x = 0;
 float y = 50;
 try {
 String[] sFonts =
 gp.getFontConfigurationManager().listFontNames();
 PrinterFont pf = gp.getFont(sFonts[0]);
 gp.drawText(
 pf,
 25,
 25,
 "TO For Delivery # = "
 + dbAccess.getItemFieldValue(arrayItems[0], "VBELN"),
 GraphicPrinter.NO_ROTATION);
 for (i = 0; i < arrayItems.length; i++) {
 gp.drawText(
 pf,
 25,
 y,
 "Delivery Item # = "
 + dbAccess.getItemFieldValue(
 arrayItems,
 "POSNR"),
 GraphicPrinter.NO_ROTATION);
 y = y + 10;
 gp.drawText(
 pf,
 25,
 y,
 "Material # = "
 + dbAccess.getItemFieldValue(
 arrayItems,
 "MATNR"),
 GraphicPrinter.NO_ROTATION);
 y = y + 10;
 gp.drawText(
 pf,
 25,
 y,
 "Quantity to Pick = "
 + dbAccess.getItemFieldValue(
 arrayItems,
 "LFIMG"),
 GraphicPrinter.NO_ROTATION);
 y = y + 25;
 gp.doPrint(1);
 gp.close();
 } catch (Throwable tFile) {
 tFile.printStackTrace();
 }
This should give you an idea, you should also read through the MDK documentation for the printer API (PIOS). Its quite easy to pick up and as long as you have the driver and connector installed it prints right away.(You could also use the Peripheral emulator in
NWDS to test the code first)
Hope this helps,
Wael..

Please help me,
Thanks in advance

Printing a report from forms

From a command-line or .BAT file (assuming Windows and Developer6i) run the following (on a single line). It will go to your default printer.
<ORA_HOME>\bin\rwrun60 <report>.rdf userid=<user>/<pw>@<hoststring> destype=printer batch=yes

How to print BIP reports from Oracle Forms?

Hi all,
I have a question in regards to printing BIP reports from Oracle Forms... We are aiming for a server installation of BIP with integration to Oracle Forms using SSO to handle security. We use Forms built-in web.show_document to render and view the report in PDF/Excel etc... We would like to by pass the viewing and print some of these reports directly to the printer.
Any idea/suggestions how we can go about this?
Thanks in advance for your time.
Yahya

Yahya,
via HTTP it's not possible to send a report directly to the printer. You had to go via the Scheduler, which is able to do that. With the WebService API you can call a report with the Scheduler and Execute Immediate.

System time out when saving report from portal

Hi,
We have a problem where the report output either gets time out or gives an output after 30 minutes if we try to save a report from portal in the form of excel.( report is run on the web)
Generally the query output has not more then 32k records.
Is it the number of records in the portal output which is the cause of the issue??
This is not the issue with the reports with leess number of records.
Can we do something to improve the performance here??
Thanks
Ajeet

Try creating aggrates on the cube. this may change the performance.
also you can change the query execution time.
but better check for some performance tuning by using aggrates.
check below suggestions also:

Printing oracle report from oracle forms

At our place, our clinet machines are upgraded to IE8 (Internet explorer 8), and some users are having probelms when they print pdf reports from IE8. If they save pdf report on computer and use adobe acrobat reader, then they can print, but when they hit print button on the IE8 they are unable to rpint.
Please advise why some users cannot print pdf reports from IE8. Thanks

Hi,
has anyone managed to resolve this yet?
seems as though some sort of impersonation mechanism is necessary for the machine running the reports server to identify to the printer as the client username running the report..
i do know it's possible to pass to the rep server a parameter called "authid",
so if for example i run the following -
http://<server>/reports/rwservlet?report=test.rdf&authid=rsorero&userid=bla/bla@bla&server=repsrv&destype=PRINTER&desname=\\printsrv1\myprinter1&desformat=PDF
then in the report server queue (showjobs) i get the owner as "rsorero" instead of "ANONYMOUS"..
but that doesn't translate to an OS user on the server side, and the print is still owned by [server]$..
any insights?

Run Oracle Projects Report from Portal

Is there a way to run one of the canned Oracle Projects reports from Portal? Are these Oracle Projects reports URL addressable? If so please tell me where I can find some documentation on how to do this?

You can create an iView in portal following a template to include an "SRM Transaction".
