Printing a report with print sheets from the portal

It is my understanding that a print sheet uses a variant to make a connection between the variable settings set in the web portal and the variable / filtering settings that are used when printing a report. It is also my understanding that without a print sheet and variant that when a user prints a report from the portal that the printed report would not have the same filtering (variable settings) as what the user sees in the report. I have created a report and a print sheet that uses a variant, but when we view reports in the portal there is not a print icon... we can only print from the browser. Printing from the browser only prints what is on the screen, not a formatted report set up in the reporting agent. How do I print a report that uses a variant and a print sheet set up in the reporting agent to be available to print from the portal... i.e. display an icon to print the report? If you have a better or more detailed explanation of what a print sheet is and how to set it up, please include that as well.

The BW Reporting agent print settings is used for batch printing of BW reports not online printing from the web.
Currently there are no SAP delivered formatted reporting print functionality for BW. BI 7.0 will have formatted reporting and PDF export options.
SAP had recently released a How to Document on printing using MS Excel. See the attached link for the same.

Printing Oracle Reports with values obtained from file using IO

Hi All,
We have decided to change the report writer tool from Brio SQR to Oracle Reports 6i. The design using Brio SQR was such that we used to populate all the values to be printed in a text file and then we use to populate the values in the BRIO reports using this file as an input.
We don't want to make many changes to the design at this stage. Can anybody suggest how can we use the text file as input to populate the different fields in the Oracle Reports.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Milind

Hi Miliand
Text Datasoucre is a Reports 9i feature. You can get the information on the feature overview at
http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/content.html.
You will find the complete 9I Reports reference manuals on OTN soon

Authorization error when running a report from the portal

Hello,
I am trying to run a certain report under a certain user in the portal.
If I run this report with this user from the BW it is working but if I run it from the portal with this user it doesn't. The error I receive in the portal is this:
ABEND: Program error in class SAPMSSY1 method : UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION
ABEND: Errors while reading InfoProvider data
ABEND: Error in BW:
ABEND: You do not have authorization for the data transfer process
Which other authorizations the user needs?

Hey Roy,
Check with the User Portal Roles and all Authorization Objects in BW.
when we talking about Portal from BW - Is is URL portal or RFC Portal?

How do I print multiple reports to a directory at the same time

I'm trying to print a list of monthly reports to a directory by using the code below. The first part of the code runs a query to select Business Units that will receive the reports. The idea is to cycle through this list and print one report for each
Business Unit. These vary from month to month. I create a record set from that query. Where I'm getting stuck is in trying to pass the Business unit selected in the first query to the query that runs the final report. I end up getting multiple
reports with different titles but the content is the same, so I'm doing something incorrect. Here is the code. Any help would be greatly appreciated. QryNewMOR runs the report.
Private Sub Cmd012815_Click()
    Dim qdf As DAO.QueryDef
    Dim strSQL As String
    Dim strPathName As String
    Dim blRet As Boolean
    Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
    Dim stDocName As String
    Dim strSavedSQL As String
    Dim strBus As String
    Dim strExec As String
    If Me.Dirty Then Me.Dirty = False
    stDocName = "RptNewMOR"
    strSQL = "SELECT [Business Unit Long],[Responsible Executive] FROM tblRespExec WHERE (((tblRespExec.SelectedPrint)=True));"
    Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(strSQL)
    If rs.RecordCount < 1 Then
        MsgBox "No Bus lines or Execs selected", vbCritical, "Error"
        Exit Sub
    End If
   'CreateFolder "C:\Test MOR"
    'store the current SQL
    Set qdf = CurrentDb.QueryDefs("QryNewMOR")
    strSavedSQL = qdf.SQL
    qdf.Close
    Set qdf = Nothing
Do
    strBus = rs![Business Unit Long]
    strExec = rs![Responsible Executive]
    Set qdf = CurrentDb.QueryDefs("QryNewMOR")
   strSQL = strSQL + Left(strSavedSQL, InStr(strSavedSQL, ";") - 1) & " and (qryNewMOR.[Draft Distribution List]=" & rs![Responsible Executive] & ");"
    strSQL = strSavedSQL
    qdf.SQL = strSQL
    Debug.Print strSQL
    qdf.Close
    Set qdf = Nothing
    strPathName = "C:\Test MOR\" & rs![Business Unit Long] & ".pdf"
    DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, stDocName, acFormatPDF, strPathName
    rs.MoveNext
Loop Until rs.EOF
rs.Close
Set rs = Nothing
'restore the SQL
Set qdf = CurrentDb.QueryDefs("QryNewMOR")
qdf.SQL = strSavedSQL
qdf.Close
Set qdf = Nothing
End Sub
Dean J. Waring

I'm trying to figure out how to combine the two and am obviously not succeeding. Do you have a suggestion on how to make that work?
Hi Dean,
I am not completely sure of what you want. I suppose you want to modify the SQL definition of QryNewMOR, and use that modified query for the report?
In that case, and in the line of your program, I would make a QueryDef: QryStdMOR, with the "standard" strSavedSQL (so: strSavedSQL =  QryStdMOR), construct strSQL in the same way, and assign this to the SQL definition of QryNewMOR.
Thus, in your code at the very beginning, skip the line strSQL = strSavedSQL.
strSQL = Left(strSavedSQL, InStr(strSavedSQL, ";") - 1) & " and (qryNewMOR.[Draft Distribution List]=""" & rs![Responsible Executive] & """);"
' skip this line: strSQL = strSavedSQL
qdf.SQL = strSQL
Within the loop you should not start with strSQL = strSQL & ...., because strSQL will retain then its value from the previous loop, and increases and increases...
Finally, I have added some double doublequotes around rs![Resposible Executive], because string expressions must be enclosed by double doublequotes (or eventually a single singlequote).
Imb.
strSQL = strSQL + Left(strSavedSQL, InStr(strSavedSQL, ";") - 1) & " and (qryNewMOR.[Draft Distribution List]=" & rs![Responsible Executive] & ");"
    strSQL = strSavedSQL
    qdf.SQL = strSQL

Mimes in "Print Web Report with Excel"

Hi all,
i am using the "How to.." Paper to implement the functionality for Printing Web Reports with Excel. I also Modify the Table during the rendering with the Modify Table Interface to set some mimes instead of inidcators in one column. The Export
into Excel Works Fine but after saving that Report in Excel, and reopen it i have
to confirm a Security Dialog / re-login . I think this is because of the mimes which refer to the WAS.
Now my Question :
Is it possible to get a result ( Exported Report into Excel with MIMES ) and avoid
a re login. I mean, to export the Mimes also.
Many Thanks in advance for your Help.
Best Regards
Ali Touzlatzi

Hi Prakash,
Thank you so much for your reply.
I looked for LRSR_XLS_EXPORTF01 under program, I found the program but when I clicked into it, it prompt "there is no object list for INCLUDEs"
We have the export as excel implemented for sure. Do you think someone changed the name, or this name cannot be changed. I am new to ABAP too, but I am a programmer. Can you guide me the best way to trace this program?
Again, I appreciate you help.

Print jobs won't automatically drop from the print queue after printing

I just bought an Envy 7640. When printing multiple documents, the first print job hangs in the queue after it prints, which prevents subsequent jobs from printing. The first job continues to show a status of Printing after it prints the job. I have to manually go into the queue and cancel the finished job before the next job in the queue will print. Having to clear the queue manually each time a print job finishes is not an acceptable fix to the problem. How can I get the printer to automatically delete the print job after it prints like it's supposed to do?

Thank you for your reply. The steps that you sent are for print jobs that you cannot delete from the queue. I also found those instructions earlier, however, it doesn't apply to the problem I'm having with my printer. I don't have a problem deleting print jobs from the queue. As my previous post stated, when I print multiple documents, the first document prints but it stays in the queue with a status of Printing. Because it stays in the queue with the Printing status, it prevents the second and subsequent documents from printing. My problem is that I have to go to the queue after every single job prints and delete it from the queue to allow the next document to print. It's ridiculous to have to delete every job from the queue after it prints. The printer should automatically delete the job after it prints it, and then print the next job in the queue. How can I make the printer delete a job automatically after it prints it?? Can you please give me a resolution to this problem? Thank you.

Is it possible to take a print from the Portal

Hello All,
Is it possible to take a print out from the Portal.
Let me be more clear about the case:
We have designed some charts (Time Scatter) in our WebDynpro projects and displayed it in the Portal. Now, the Team is enquiring if the Print out of the generated charts could be taken from the portal by providing a button. Or else they will have to save the chart as an image and take a print out.
Please let me know how can it be done if possible.
Points will be awarded.
Regards,
Poojith MV

hi....
Follow the code given below !!
The print functionality can be included by writing a Separate PortalComponent and calling the component when the print button is clicked on any page.
In the JSP call the print cmponent By using
<%@ page import="com.sapportals.portal.prt.service.urlgenerator.IUrlGeneratorService"%>
<%@ page import="com.sapportals.portal.prt.service.urlgenerator.specialized.IPortalUrlGenerator"%>
<%@ page import="com.sapportals.portal.prt.service.urlgenerator.specialized.ISpecializedUrlGenerator"%>
For instance :
Include code like this in all your jsps
<%
try {
IUrlGeneratorService urlGen =(IUrlGeneratorService) componentRequest.getService(IUrlGeneratorService.KEY);
// get Specialized Portal Url Generator
IPortalUrlGenerator portalGen = null;
ISpecializedUrlGenerator specUrlGen =urlGen.getSpecializedUrlGenerator(IPortalUrlGenerator.KEY);
if (specUrlGen instanceof IPortalUrlGenerator)
portalGen = (IPortalUrlGenerator) specUrlGen;
printUrl =portalGen.generatePortalComponentUrl(
componentRequest,
"<ProjectName>.<PrintComponent>");// calling the Print Component
} catch (Exception e) {
response.write("EXception---"+e.getMessage());

Features that are not supported by Excel in the browser and interactive reports will be removed from the saved copy

I Created a power view in Excel 2013 and uploaded to my Power BI for o365 site.
But when i click on my excel file it opens in browser,After that i click on File tab its showing me two option
1. Save a Copy
2.Download a copy
When i click on save a copy its showing me an warning below
Features that are not supported by Excel in the browser and interactive reports will be removed from the saved copy.
Continue with Save?
If i continue saving it only saves an excel files with data only not the power view which i want to save with applied filters.
Please help me for this

Just to clarify, when you hit the option of Save As Copy, the whole experience goes into a "read-write" mode in Excel services, which currently doesn't support authoring, just consumption of PowerView sheets.
Two mitigations that come to mind:
1. Download the copy (as Brad suggests), rename the file and upload.
2. Use the send to option of SharePoint online, give the file the right target document library (can be the same as source) and rename the file:

FIXED!!
1)
i finally did get the message problem was with:
$mailhost='ssl://mail.domain.com';
ssl:// was just nonsense and been removed
2)
'auth' => 'true' was changed to 'auth' => 'login'
3)
for bluehost i got information that it was tls secure connection protocol not ssl
'ssl' => 'tls'
4)
port used '25' not 465.
Didnt still tried 26 and 465 maybe they would work too.

How to make an appointment with a contact from the address book directly to iCal

What is the easiest way to make an appointment with a contact from the address book. My idea is that once you identify a contact down the bottom where it has Text message Share contact, add to favorites it would be nice if it had make appointment in iCal. The open up iCal to todays date and go from there with all the relevant details?

In the Print dialogue box select Lists in the Style drop down box.

Calling report with no parameters from a form should report be a JSP file?

Hi,
I'm completely new to the Oracle environment and am having a few beginner problems all I want to find out is how to call a report from a form. I know this question has been asked before but I can't work it out from the answers because people seem to keep talking about rdf files:
I am trying to call the report with the following code:
Declare
     report_id REPORT_OBJECT;
     v_rep varchar2(100);
     rep_status varchar2(20);
Begin
     report_id:= FIND_REPORT_OBJECT('EmployeeRep');
     v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(report_id);
END;
My report is called 'EmployeeRep' but it saves it as a JSP file and there is no option to save as an rdf as is mentioned in other posts. I can understand the environments confusion because there is no directory information with the find_report_object command. Does the report have to be stored in a certain directory.
All I have done with the report is created it from the emp table of the sample Scott database. Any help is appreciated and nothing is too obvious as I say I'm completely new to this.
Thanks
Dan

Try to pinpoint what is going wrong:
1. Run the report stand alone (from Reports Builder). If that doesn't work, then it won't work calling it from Forms either.
2. Check if anything has run at all, or if there are report error messages with:
http://localhost:port/reports/rwservlet/showjobs?
For a standalone Report Server use:
http://localhost:port/reports/rwservlet/showjobs?server=rep_server_name
3. If it does work, call it from Forms. Is the report output file created (e.g. in the cache directory if destype=cache)? In your code you have run_report_object, but you won't see any output on your screen. To see the output add web.show_document(...) to your report. There are many examples in this forum if you search for run_report_object.
