Print text file to client side printer

Hi all,
I have a character mode report which will print to a client side dot matrix printer in 6i. After converted to 10g, we cannot print to the client side printer (because we don't want to map so many print queue from the AS).
So, I try to generate the report to a text file, then use webutil to transfer the txt file to the client PC, and then use Client_HOST to call the window PRINT command to print the text file to the client side printer.
I have test this is successful, however, when I try to do the same thing to a report with Vietnam character, then it is not.
The print request is sent to the printer, but the printer have no response.
But that file can be print successfully if I open in Notepad and then print manually.
I try to use window TYPE command and COPY command, but still have no luck.
Can anyone give me some suggestions for this....
Thanks!

Are u using Run_Product function in the when button pressed,
then u can specify the format in which u want the output, option
available are HTML and PDF, report server runs the report on the
server and sends the output to the client machine. On the client
machine u have to open the file and print it. I cannot print the
report itself on the client machine.
Try.

I am able to do this successfully using:

Is it not possible "load clob from file" from client side, files being on client and exec command via SQLPlus. Is there any other option to load data from client side.
Thanks for any help.

Write a text file on client

Merging randomly-named XML data file on client-side with pdf designed in Livecycle 7.0 (and addition

Okay, as a heads up I work for a financial institution and we are converting our legacy "jetforms" to pdf format. I have in my staff for the project, 2 code developers and myself- a form designer. We have currently spent 2 months in trial and error attempting to resolve this problem, please let us know anything you can have. All client-side (internal) machines are running Windows XP and Adobe Reader 7.0.7
The software we use as a financial institution allows our users to export a customer's data file onto their machine which is then renamed to include the member's account number and first and last name for our staff to determine which data file they need more accurately. In legacy jetforms, we have developed a program that pushes the data from the customers file that they select, into the jetform that they want to open and the matching fields in the data file fill in the fields of the jetform. Clean and simple.
Now, i have hit nothing but frustration when attempting to perform the same process with pdfs using a form designed in livecycle designer 7. First, i see no obvious command for opening a pdf and importing a data file using a command line, like pdfmerge or something of the sort in which an xml data file can be specified and a pdf can be specified. I saw something like it using an fdf format and attempted to do this but apparently reader cannot import the data into the pdf that was designed adobe livecycle 7. All i have been seeing is database connections and using javascript inside the form to populate fields based on these database connections, etc. etc. or doing a manual file>import data>etc. which we don't want to have our staff do. We do not have reader extensions enabled, simply because i cannot get an adobe representative to call me and discuss pricing nor see any estimated pricing chart around. I don't know if reader extensions are necessary for this or not but i'm becoming very very frustrated with it.
We don't want a complex server-side data connection binding with dynamic input. No, we just want it where our developers can say "if this data file is selected, and this pdf form is selected run this command" which would be a simple pdfmerge type solution. Is this possible or do i need to stay with jetforms until our software the billion dollar financial institution uses does form building inside its own application? I don't want to fight about who is better, what version to use, etc. I just want the straight up honest truth. If you need to know the pricing that the reader extensions would have to go by, assume there will be 500 client computers that will need to use it.

From your post it sounds like you are Central Pro (a product for which I am by no means an expert), but you say you want to upgrade to a newer product from your "legacy" one. Is there a reason for this? Have your requirements change so that it no longer fits them? Central is still in the current Adobe roster and as far as I know there is no plans to get rid of it any time soon, so if it does everything you want I don't see why you would want to change.
There is no product in the LiveCycle suite that merges xml data into a form from the command line. LiveCycle (with the exception of Designer) is a suite of server products, so the closest you would come is LiveCycle Forms (merge the xml and create a fillable PDF) or LiveCycle Print (merge the xml and print the form).
Hope this helps somewhat.

Download a text file to client machine

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to implement a report in EP6 SP2 version using Dynpage. I have it working perfectly, where in it displays the result in a Tree Format. But now the client wants a button, on clicking which it should download everything in a text file. I'm thinking of creating a text file and using FileOutputStream dumping the data into a text file. But I dont know how to open that text file or download it to the client machine ?
Can someone helpme with this ?
Thanks.

Another thing you can do is create a table that you can insert the results of the UTL_FILE export. This table will basically track all of your UTL_file exports. You would just have to have three columns in the table. An ID, Filename, Directory. The ID would be your Primary Key, Filename would be the name of the file, and the Directory, would be directory in which the file is in. Then you can build a portal dynamic page that selects the results with a hyperlink. Then everything will work dynamically. Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Martin

URGENT: Need to read file on client side from a 9i form

Hi
I have developed a 9i form and I assumed I could use TEXT_IO to read a file on the client side and insert the data into a database table. However, I have just tested the form and discovered that TEXT_IO only looks for files on the application server and NOT the client side.
Does anyone know of a forms package in 9i that will do this for me? Using ftp to get the file onto the application server is not really an option.

Francois
We are sure that we do not have the WebUtil package installed in our environment. We are using a thrid party forms 9i application which we can tailor by adding our own forms to the existing menus. The third party application has some upload screens provided that are able to do upload a file without using WebUtil. Is there any other way this could be done? I have asked the third party to provide some asistance with this but they are not too forthcoming. Is there any other way you know of using Oracle/forms that allows a file to be read on the client side and sent to the application server? Oracle logs was mentioned by someone I talked to but this means nothing to me.

Write to text file without server side

Hi,
I need to write data into a text file for saving data from my
flash movie, but I didn't have the possibility to use a
server-side.
Because my flash movies are stored on a CD and it must be
compatible with Windows and MacOS.
Is it possible to write data into a text file?
If no, can I use a third party software? Which one?
Regards
YamNet

A SharedObject might work for you. Otherwise, you'll need a
'wrapper' app.
Adobe's own Director works very well for this, and AIR would
work as well.
There are also a good number of 3rd party apps, such as Zinc
and others.

Can we create export dump files on client side??

Hi,
Please see this link
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14215/dp_overview.htm#i1010293
Check the "NOTE" which says that
All Data Pump Export and Import processing, including the reading and writing of dump files, is done on the system (server) selected by the specified database connect string. This means that, for nonprivileged users, the database administrator (DBA) must create directory objects for the Data Pump files that are read and written on that server file system. For privileged users, a default directory object is available
So does this mean, the dump files can be created only on the server???
What if i want to create the dump file on my client c:\
Is it possible??
As per my knowledge, this was possible in 9i
Thanks

Yes in the "orignal" export ,it was possible to have a client side dump file.But the Export DataPump uses the Directory parameter which maps to a directory on the server side only and the option to give an absolute path for the dump file on the client side is removed,the files can be only on server side.

Writing and updating XML file on client side

Hello,
I'm looking for a simple example which permit to write and
update a xml file on the client side.
Someone can help me, please?

meghashyamgr ,
Because of security reasons a swf running in a browser cannot
read or write xml files to a user's computer. What can be done,
however, is write xml to what is known as a SharedObject.
SharedObjects act as cookies for Flashplayer.
If you would like an example of this I'd be more than happy
to show you...

Error Reading setup Intialization file on client side

Hi Expert,
When i install the Client setup at client side it's give me the error "Error Reading setup Intialization file".
I take the setup from the Server B1_shr folder.
Please reply ASAP.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi Tushar Nathwani,
"Error Reading setup Initialization file" implies the setup file is corrupted. You have to find a working copy of it.
There is no other way around.

Error while sending a text file to client as attachment

I want to download a file on clicking a button. Here is my button code
<input type="button" onClick="showdownloadwindow()" value="Download My file">
The java script showdownloadwindow() should invoke a jsp that has code to construct the text file to be downloaded
Here is the javascript function
<script>
     function showdownloadwindow()
          var url = 'http://<%=request.getServerName()%>'+':'+<%=request.getServerPort()%>+'/downloadtextfile.jsp';
          window.open(url,"","");
</script>
the downloadtextfile.jsp looks something like this
<%
          response.setContentType("text/plain");
          response.setHeader("Content-disposition","attachment; filename=myfile.txt" );
          BufferedOutputStream bos = new BufferedOutputStream(response.getOutputStream());
          String temp="Put some text string for now";
          bos.write(temp.getBytes());
          bos.flush();
          bos.close();
          response.flushBuffer();
%>
i have two problems
1. when the button "Download My file" is clicked a separate window is opened and then the save file dialog box appears. How can I change my code
so that it only shows download window only ( not another browser window)
2. myfile.txt contains some error in addition to the temp string
Here is the error from myfile.txt

I am writing an Oracle 10g Form to get the path and filename from local PC (Windows XP) by clicking a Command Button, select the folder and files and then pass the full path and the filename to a Text Item.
