Print PDF in Oracle bi

I have a report in Oracle BI 10.1.3.4.1, in which there is a prompt that filter my data (realized by the page selector in the Pivot Table View)
If I select one voice of the page selector and then click Print in PDF at the bottom of the page, OBI prints correctly the page shown. Instead if I select the other voice of the page selector the option Print in PDF prints the same page as above even if it is not the page displayed by OBI.
What is the cause?
Thanks
Edited by: user10708407 on 4-nov-2010 12.33

I think the problem is that the page selector shows a value that is a sum. I obtain this value clicking on the summation icon above the Pages sector in Pivot Table View and adding a new value as a sum of the other two.
When I select a normal element in page selector prompt, the print is correct.
When I select the sum element the print is incorrect.

    We have a network printer HP Laserjet 4250 which is configured on our concurrent manager server of RH Linux OS. We are using HP LASERJET 4250 Postscript driver.

  • Unale to print pdf files in oracle application server using oracle forms

    Hi
    We are using oracle developer suite 10g(10.1.2.3.0) in Windows vista. (test environment)
    Oracle application server 10g(10.1.2.3.0) in Hp-UX 11iv3 (production environment)
    We are able to print pdf files in test environment from oracle forms using the below command:
    host('/usr/bin/lp -d p9775hplaser '||'/ashome/output/'||:print_file);
    But while declaring to the live environment it is not working
    host('cat '||:pdf_print_file||' | acroread -toPostScript | /usr/bin/lp -dp9775hplaser');
    but when the above command is put in hp-ux cmd prompt it is workinh"'cat '||:pdf_print_file||' | acroread -toPostScript | /usr/bin/lp -dp9775hplaser'";
    Kind ly tell me whether the problem i with the host command and some other command is available for printing files from forms.

    Here is my guess:
    declare
    AppID PLS_INTEGER;
    begin
    AppID := DDE.App_Begin('acroread -toPostScript '||file name,DDE.APP_MODE_MINIMIZED);
    end;

  • Print PDF error msg in apex oracle BI publisher

    Hi, I am getting error msg, "File can not be open because either it is not supported file type or file has been damage" when clicking Print PDF button from Apex oracle run application on oracle server...please help...

    I see this error when generating BI-Publisher reports that return no data. Check your query to verify it returns data. Also check that any bind variables used by the query have appropriate values.
    If it is the case where your query returns no data but you'd like to avoid the confusing message you can code around it by adding the following logic in your report template. For this work around to work it assumes you've got BI-Publisher licensing (you can create report queries and report templates through shared components).
    In the following example it is assumed that the xml structure has a REGION element. You can substitute the REGION element with whatever element works for your xml structure.
    Example XML structure
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
    <ROWSET>
      <ROW>
        <REGION>Central Office</REGION>
        <LOCATION>Materials Management</LOCATION>
        <DIRECTOR>Blow, Joe</DIRECTOR>
        <NOTES />
      </ROW>
      <ROW>
        <REGION>Second Region</REGION>
        <LOCATION>Accounts Payable</LOCATION>
        <DIRECTOR>Blow, Jill</DIRECTOR>
        <NOTES />
      </ROW>
    </ROWSET>Add code like the following to your template. The code looks to see if records exist in the xml structure. If records DO NOT EXIST then it will return a pdf with the statement "No Data Found for Specified Search Criteria". Of course if data exists... you'll see that on your report.
    <?if: REGION  = ''?>
         No Data Found For Specified Search Criteria
    <?end if?>
    <?if: REGION != ''?>
        your_data_group_starts
        your report template definition
        your_data_group_ends
    <?end if?>

  • Print another PDF inside Oracle Report

    We print an oracle report to PDF via oracle Forms, some customers have seperate PDFs that they want to link to the run oracle report.
    Ideally they want to merge the two into one document. Has anyone had any exprience of this or know of annyway to acheive it?
    I know there are a few 3rd party software providers that caim to merge 2 pdfs but wondered the community thoughts?
    Thanks

    I did do a search and found the itext librarys but also when searched with oracle found that others were looking for ways to build it into the oracle application server.
    I wondered if this had been something that Oracle had looked into acheiving that is all and when you suggested i look at examples i didnt know if you meant an oracle example.
    Thanks ill review the website and see if i can get what i need.

  • Orarrp can't print pdf file directly to printer

    oracle remote print utility (orarrp) can't print pdf file directly to printer.
    we expect orarrp utility can handle ".rrpa" file (i.e. pdf file generated on the application server) by directly print the file to the client's printer, i.e. invoke the acrobat reader on the client side, display the the printer selection dialogue, after confirmation print the pdf file, then the acrobat reader close automatically nicely.
    However we are disappointed as the acrobat reader startup and display the pdf file content but does not print and does not close.
    After testing the problem several times, there are some findings:-
    Finding (A):-
    (a) for the success of direct printing of pdf file, a physical path must be provided; we have tried 2 methods:
    1) using drag & drop to copy the pdf file directly to the browser
    2) open pdf file in the browser directly using browser menu-->File-->Open.
    (b) for the failure of direct printing, a virtual path is involved and we have also tried 2 methods:
    1) when web.show_document() is used
    2) enter the url to the URL bar of the browser,
    eg. http://appsvr.com:7777/report/test_printout/APPSVR1094707.rrpa (this is a virtual path/url)
    Finding (B):-
    (a)when the physical path is used, a temporary pdf file is generated in the same directory where the rrpa file exists in the application server,
    e.g. in application server: d:/printout/yyy.pdf is generated for d:/printout/xxx.rrpa when direct print occurs
    (b) however when the virtual path is used, there is no such temp "pdf" file generated and direct print failed.
    May be when virtual path is used, orarrp utility don't know where to generate the temp "pdf" so direct print doesn't occur.
    So, anyone has similar experience or further queries or has solutions, please join.
    Thanks for your attention.

    ENDLOOP.

  • Discoverer Plus - Problem with Page Orientation when printing pdf's

    Hi,
    When printing pdf's in Disco Plus I have a problem:
    My workbooks are a mixture of landscape and portrait pages.
    I am printing the entire workbook and then using cutepdf to produce a pdf.
    If I print to paper I get the correct landscape/portrait settings.
    If I print to pdf then landscape pages appear vertically when I view on screen so that the text is running from bottom to top of the page.
    So it is picking up th portrait/landscape settings from the individual worksheets but cutepdf has not realised that the pages are landscape so they appear on the screen vertically.
    This was not a problem on discoverer desktop so I am confident that this is not a problem with cutepdf.
    Any thoughts?

  • Printing PDF documents using FOP

    Hi,
    I seem to be getting the following error when printing to PDF using FOP:
    report error:
    ORA-29273: HTTP request failed
    ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_HTTP", line 1186
    ORA-12571: TNS:packet writer failure
    I've set up PDF printing by following the (FOP) instructions in the following link:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/configure_printing.html
    I've verified that my OC4J container and the jsp page apex_fop.jsp is running as it should as I can get PDF documents back if I call the jsp page outside of APEX (by sending in my own template and xml request parameters).
    I've also verified that I do hit the apex_fop.jsp page when trying to print from within the APEX application. The problem is that the two parameters template and xml are both null when trying to print PDF from APEX.
    It appears as though APEX is not sending in the template and xml request parameters.
    My test case is to create a simply report query in shared components, use a generic layout, select the pdf option and click on Test Report. The result is the error shown above.
    Any ideas? I know I'm close!
    btw, I'm using 10g and APEX 3.1

  • Print PDF Document Automatically

    Hello All,
    We are developeing BI Publisher reports from existing oracle custom repots.
    One of the solution has to be implemented is "The output PDF file should be printed automatically".
    When i googled this a page read,
    "As per Bug 1243042, Oracle Applications supports PDF output for viewing only, "This is the way the Applications are designed and implemented... anything beyond this would be more of an enhancement request.". That is, printing PDF directly from the concurrent manager is not supported. This concurrent manager limitation is also present in release 11.5."
    Can we print a PDF document automatically upon the compeletion of a request.
    If we can then how can i implement this.
    Can we use shell program implement this.
    Regards,
    Kannan Balasubramanian

    Hi Ron,
    We have R12 on AIX 5.3, I have configured pasta, oracle standard reports like "Active Users" are being printed to printer in post script format.
    But I am having issue in printing XML Publisher reports in pdf format, I have extracted ghostscript-8.64.tar and compiled and installed as applmgr with required pdf2ps utility. I have included in tools_path, bounced ccm.
    The XML publisher PO print request fails with "/pdf2ps[38]: gs: not found."
    Any help is apperciated.

  • Printing Issues in Oracle

    Hi,
    We have custom PDF reports, where when we print it in Oracle the columns to the right getting chopped off, when I try to print the same copy to regular printer all the columns are getting printed on the same page.
    When I print the report to a regular printer the page scaling option in the printer properties by default selects to Shrink to printable Area so that the report gets printed without any hiccups.
    Where as in oracle, not sure what the Page scaling option is getting selected to, sys admin team informed to change the layout of the report which is quite not possible as we have 100's of custom reports.
    Any help how to set up the page scaling option to Shrink to printable Area in oracle??

  • Discoverer Viewer printing PDF hangs

    Hi all,
    I have installed Oracle BI Discoverer 10.1.2.48.18. It works fine exept that it is not closing discoverer processes. As number of processes raises the amount of free memory lowers. When about 10% free memory on the server the Discoverer Viewer stops creating PDF printouts.
    I open Disco session, open sheet it displays OK. I can export to csv, xls and other formats except PDF. I also can not print PDF. If I click on Page for Print I can set PDF printing options. Then click on Preview or Print and got the Printing PDF - Wait screen. It lasts and lasts...
    Tried opmnctl restartproc ias-component=Discoverer, Discoverer processes disappears, still can not print PDF.
    After coplete restart AS (opmnctl stopall, startall) the function recovers.
    Seems to be tied with memory usage.
    I can restart the AS say 1 a week, but rather use other way to keep the Discoverer printing.
    Any suggestions, please.
    Jiri Rohlicek

    Hi Jiri
    Your CPU and memory looks ok for the Discoverer usage you have described. I'd watch BPEL though and make sure that isn't grabbing too much resource. If anything, memory would be the one to increase. As I mentioned in a previous posting, a 4:1 ratio for smaller boxes is recommended. Your ration is 2:1, although for only 5 users you should be fine.
    I'm assuming you are using Discoverer in stand-alone mode? If not, and you have the infrastructure database on the same machine you are definitely underpowered.
    Regarding the memory, the server is supposed to clear the sessions eventually. One way that you can definitely help is to tell your users NOT to close the browser or click the little X at the top right-hand corner of the screen. This may well close the session on the client end but the server is still holding the session for them.
    Here is what I always do:
    1. When changing from workbook to workbook I always click File | Close to get rid of the current workbook completely
    2. When exiting Discoverer I always use File | Exit, after using File | Close.
    I seem to get far fewer issues this way. It's therefore a training issue and is something that you can do right now. Hopefully this issue will be cleared in the future.
    Best wishes
