Print SAP Reports

Hi,
I did read a few threads and it doesn't seem possible to print a SAP report
directly from our Add-on. So who knows if there will have support for this soon ?
Right now I have to REDO every report that I have to print IN Crystal Report
and feed the report with the proper SQL query
Would be nice something like :
oCompany.PrintReport("ReportName", Query);
Yeah........(Lazy bastard I'm)

Marc,
You are correct that with the current shipping version(s) of SAP Business One 2005A SP01, ISV's typically use a third-party reporting engine for add-on reporting such as Crystal. SAP Development is aware of the request and working on a solution for a future release of SAP Business One. I would watch and/or check the SAP Business One Roadmap as it is posted and updated on the SAP PartnerEdge Portal. This is were you can see the direction for new releases of Business One and the intended features to be added to those releases.

Printing SAP Reports (Transactional iviews) from Portal

I am having problem in printing the SAP Transactional I views (SAP Reports Output) from the Portal page. On selecting the Print Option under Menu from the SAP transactional iview page, it shows the list of the printers in the backend system. On selecting the printer configured in backend abap system and issuing a print command, it only creates a spool request in the backend system and nothing is sent to the printer itself.
I have also tried to use "PDF1" device type by creating a new output device and it does bring the contents of the report on a web embedded PDF page, hoever the characters are too small and to read and the ALV Report is no longer aligned. The line separating the rows and columns are not aligned.
Can anyone help in suggesting the best way to print contents of SAP Reports (created as Transactional i views) from the SAP Portal.
Thanks!

Hi Margie,
It is not necessary for a developer to have access to that area, and certainly not in a production system.
Ideally, there should be developer, test, QA and production systems, and the developer can have access to the developer system. The UI you are talking about gives access to all WD applications deployed to the AS Java, and the ability to run them as well as change some settings. But this is the domain of the administrator.
Hope this helps.

Print a report from SAP Mobile

Hi,
    I want to print a report (not a screen shot) from iPad (SAP Mobile/SAP BI), but there is no option there for printing. I don't think this feature is available in the current SAP Mobile (6.1.11). Can anyone have a way to work around it? Can SAP add this feature as an enhancement in the future releases?
    Thanks.
                James

Hi,
The feature is not available in Mobile BI App. You can search an existing idea and vote up or post a fresh at IDEA Place SAP BusinessObjects Mobile: Ideas.
Would be helpful if you provide the following details
- What is the business use case
- How many users would be using this feature
- What content types you are expecting to print
- How should the printed report look like - mobile view, web view, pdf view
- Primary used device - IOS/Android

Problem in Printing ABAP Report in EP using SAP Transaction IVIEW

Dear All,
A very gud evening,
I am using SAP Transaction Iview to show the ABAP Reports, But I have a Problem...
How to print this report???
Please solve this issue, I have measure requirement of it from client.
Thanks in Advance..

Thanks Haydn,
But my problem is that, there may be no of users will be accessing this report. user will not be having SAP GUI installed in his machine. He will be accessing Transaction IView after login in EP (from any where may be from cyber cafe) and He would like to take printout using any button on the screen.
So suppose any end user having only Internet Explorer installed in his machine, will he be able to take the print out. I think its very genuine requirement.
OR user can not take print out untill SAP GUI is installed in his machine???
Please suggest...
Thanks in advance...

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..

Fields missing while printing crystal reports !!

Hello everyone
I have a crystal report application in VB.NET 2005, which gets the values of a field from the database and supports printing of the report in the following formats
1. pdf
2. directly to a printer - printout
When i export the report using reportdocument to pdf , all the fields are getting printed : Normal - As expected
But when i print the report directly using PrintToPrinter method,i am not able to print some of the fields. i.e some of the entries are missing in that report printout
Can someone guess what could be the problem ???
Are there any limitations / preconfigurations that needs to be done apart from setting page size,margin before using the PrintToPrinter method
Regards
Srivatsa

OK, a few incongruencies here:
I'm using the version of the Crystal Reports that ships along with the Visual Studio.NET 2005.
- that would make is CR 10.2
We have also tried applying the latest service packs crxir2_sp4_full_build
- So SP 4 for CR XI release 2 would not do you much good as per above (if you are indeed using CR 10.2(?))
- How did you get to the crxir2_sp4_full_build? This is in a gated section of the SAP website. The only publically available SP 4 for CR XI r2 is "incremental... If you did apply crxir2_sp4_full_build, then you are working with CR XI r2 now...
The behavior is seen in the web application and the behavior is seen both in the dev and deployment system.
- So this does not work anywhere? If so, why bother going to deployment?
Also i tried exporting to pdf soon before / after printing. But the fields are present in the pdf and not on the printouts
- Confirm that you do see the fields on an exported PDF and when you print the PDF you get a blank printout?
More clarification needed:
We need to be absolutely clear on what version of Crystal Reports you are using. Open your .NET project, go to your references and look for CrystalDecisions.Crystalreports.Engine.dll. What version is this assembly?
Also, please answer the rest of the questions above.

Error message when trying to view/print Crystal reports in B1

I get the following Error message when trying to view/print crystal reports in SAP B1/Crystal Reports Integration Tool for SAP Business One:
" Could not load file or assembly 'Crystal Decisions Windows Forms, version=12.0.2000.0, Culture=neutral, Public Key Token=692fbea551e1304' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. ????

Hi
Common issues for this :
1. Once you install crystall add on ,you need to go to Crystal report Administration >Account setup .
Put on the user name and password and click on creating ext tables
Try then running the report .
If not the case ,
make sure you install runtime .
You need :
1.Crystal report basic from SAP download -(Not necessary if you want only report viewer >
2.You need to have crystal integration addon (I think service pack is SP1)
3.Make sure you have runtime install
When you are installing ,make sure you restart your PC before you do or remove temporary file s
Hope this solves your issue

Printing Crystal Reports in IE

Hello,
I am using CR 2008 for VS. When running a report in IE (multiple versions) and try to print, the report will not open in a new window as a PDF.... instead IE shows the notification bar at the bottom, asking if you want to save the PDF file. (see attached screen shot)
However, if I click on a hyperlink to a PDF in IE, it will open up in a new window without having to save it first.
Why is CR making IE force the user to save the PDF first? This is very inconvenient, and some users are having problems.
When I print a report in FireFox the PDF opens up without saving. Why is this not the case in IE?
Thanks!

I believe you are working with the version of CR that bundled with VS 2008 (Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008 (v. 10.5))
The behavior you are seeing is expected with that version. If you are looking for a more intuitive printing (e,g.; no save dialog), you will have to upgrade to CR 2008 (v. 12.x) or SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 / 2012 (v. 13.x).
SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio (CRVS) is available as a free download from here:
SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio: Updates & Runtime Downloads
Eval of CR 2008 is available from here:
SAP - Crystal Reports 30-Day Evaluation
Oh. Here is a screen shot of what printing looks like in CRVS:
