Printing large report with Desktop - Scaling?

Hello,
given is a report with many cols which should be printed on one sheet of paper.
I tried menu File --> Page Setup. There is a option "Scale", but it is greyed out. Why? Is it possible to scale the report in Discoverer Desktop?
Thank you
Tobias

This is similar to another thread I just commented on.
However, if the scale option is greyed out ...
I remember a few years ago I had this problem and the answer was that Oracle was not handling the actual printing of the document, but used the MS printer info (ie: your Printers setup).
What I did at the time was - once I found out the printer it was going to supported scaling (ie: can't remember the term for when a printer supports scaling, but is it something like PCL?).
Anyway, I simply installed the driver for this on the printer I was sending the output to - and voila' ... scaling worked.
So again, I think it's a printer thing so either redirect output to a printer that has the appropriate driver for scaling, or install the correct driver, etc. to the printer you're going to - again assuming the actual printer supports scaling.

Performance: How to manage large reports with high data volume

Hi everybody,
we actually make some tests on our BO server system, to define limitations and oppertunities. Among other things we constructed a large report with a high data volume (about 250.000 data records).
When executing the query in SAP Query Designer it takes about 10 minutes to display it. In Crystal Reports we rebult the row and column structure of the query. The data retrieval in Crystal Reports Designer last about 9 minutes - even faster as in the query.
Unfortunately in BO InfoView the report is not displayed. After 30 minutes of loading time we get a timeout error RCIRAS0244.
com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.managedreports.ras.internal.ManagedRASException:
Cannot open report document. ---
The request timed out because there has been no reply from the server for 600.000 milliseconds.
Also a refresh of an report with saved data is not possible.
Now we are asking us some questions:
1. Where can we set the timeout for InfoView to a value larger than 30 minutes?
2. Why is InfoView so slow compared to Crystal Designer? Where is the bottleneck?
3. Whats the impact of SAP single sign-on compared to Enterprise logon on the performance?
Thanks for any helps and comments!
Sebastian

Hi Ingo,
thank you for your reply.
I will check the servers and maybe change the time limits.
Unfortunately we have a quite slow server system that probably cause this timeout. In CR Designer we have no problems, its really quick. Is it to expect that CR Designer and InfoView have almost the same performance?
Another nice point: When we execute the query in SAP BEx Query Designer it takes about 10 minutes to open it, in Crystal Designer it needs just about 5-6 minutes. We integrated exactly the same fields in the report, which exist in die SAP BEx query.
What may cause the difference?
- Exceptions and conditions in the query?
- Free characteristics in the query?
- anything else?
Best regards,
Sebastian

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.

Apex+Cocoon PDF Printing issue on printing Large Reports

Hello All,
I m in a real hard situation with PDF printing in apex.. The application manages to push the report into PDF with lesser record reports but for Large reports, it says File corrupted when i open the downloaded PDF file..
I use Apex+Coocoon and fop printing. I found from some forums as this issue was with Java Heap size being lesser and asked me to increase the size.. so i increased the size from 128MB to 1024MB and my server settings allows me to set 1550MB at the maximum..
If i cross this limit the TOMCAT server stops from running...
But all of the above was not much fruitful, since it throws again the same errors if report rows crosses 6000+ rows, can any one help me out, do i need to check any other settings to make my large reports printable in PDF.
My application needs to print around *20000+ rows each report may have at least 20 columns* to get printed...
Much awaited for your assistance

Matt,
On this note, it probably also makes sense to mention that with APEX 3.1 we introduce a PL/SQL API that gives you much broader control over what is generated how and the method it's made available to the client. You'll get the ability to retrieve the PDF in a BLOB directly on the server, store in your own tables for later download or send via email attachment. You'll also get the ability to write your own download process using after-submit page processes. And you can have combinations of your own XML with your own stylesheets, or combine report queries with customer stylesheets at runtime, or just simply retrieve the results of pre-defined report queries / report layouts in BLOBs.
I'll talk about this much more on my Blog once 3.1 is out, and will provide whitepapers, how-to's etc
Regards,
Marc

How to Print a report with 50 columns. Crystal Reports

Dear Experts,
I'm Using Crystal Reports 2008. I have a requirement that 50 columns should be placed in a Single Report with single line . But Page size should be A4 ( While Printing).
With Page Size A4 I'm able to place 5 columns.
Is there any possibility to acheave this no matter if number of opages increases
I Appreciate for the help in this regard.
But I need to display all the 50 fields (columns) in a single report.
I Achieved this by changing horizontal width to 70.
I can Place all the fields in one line.
But my concern is to print this report in A4 Paper I think its horizontal width will be 11. from crystal reports itself
I don't want to use cross tabs nor even use sql expression. Its just a simple display report for all the employees.
is there any simple way out to Achieve this by paging... or any other method.
Any help regarding this issue will be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi:
   I'm not a expert in crystal report, but I would like help you, i don't understand if must to show 50 diferrents fields in your report or same field through 50 columns ? for exemple:
first case: You ned diferents fields
F1                F2                 F3                 ... F50
item1 F1      Item1 F2         Item1 F3       Item F50
item2 F1      Ite21 F2         Item2 F3       Item F50
In this case you must put the 50 fields in the report, just enough small to fit page
second case: You nedd the same field in 50 columns
Colum 1      Colum2      Column 50
item 0          item 11      item 490
item 1          item 12      item 491
item 2          item 13      item492
item 10       item 20      item 500
inm this case i haven't idea how to make it (sorry)

Print same report with different watermark

i want to print the one report with different watermark
means suppose we generate the report and print the 10 copy of the same report but want 4 copy with one watermark and 6 with different watermark.
i have the number of watermark copy in the table .
pls give me the solution
regards
anurag

Thank you for your helpful response. What I am really asking is this -- when there is a CR2008 report based on db1, table1, and you want to use the SAME report with an identical table in a DIFFERENT database (db2, table1), can I easily use the same report? Or, do I have to generate another version of the report?
Thank you again.

Printer not communicating with desktops or laptops

We have just had upgrade to fibre optic broadband and have a new wirless network name and wireless password. However , we can no longer get our printer to communicate with the desktop or laptops despite entering the new network and passwords on the set up wizard. Our model is HP Officejet 6500 A Plus all in one E710 and we are with Talk Talk.
Any ideas please ?

Hello there! Welcome to the forums @William61 ,
I read about the issues you are having with connecting to your "new" network with your Officejet 6500A Plus, and have some suggestions of my own for you!
You could try restoring the network defaults on the printer, to erase all previous network information and then try the wireless setup wizard again.
If you want to try that, select Setup, Network, Restore Network Defaults and Yes.
Restart the printer and run the Wireless Setup Wizard again.
If that does not work, you can also try installing the printer to your computer as a USB connection, and afterwards, convert the USB connection to wireless through the printer software. Let me know which OS you're running if you need help with this step.
I hope that helps, have a great day

Get Windows message "Terminate 5-1" after printing pdf reports with Orarrp

Hi,
I get error message "Terminate 5-1" on clients machine after pdf report is printed with Orarrp.
The clients is Windows XP with acrobat reader 5.
I test on acrobat reader 6 and get the same result.
This occur for all pdf reports and all clients.
However this message just shows when perform printing, if I cancel printing from print dialog box then this message does not show.
How can I avoid this message?
Thanks in advance
Tawatchai R.
===================
Hi,
I have same error message(Message Title: TerminateProcess Value; Message Body: 5-1) showing up when using Orarrp to print directly to printer on WEB using Oracle Forms. On my pc it shows when I have adobe acrobat reader opened up already and on others it may shows even if adobe acrobat is not already opened. However document gets printed but this is very annoying for the user to see this message.
Client Environments:
1. Windows XP, HP LaserJet 5P and HP LaserJet 4100 Series PCL, Adobe Acrobat 6.0
2. Windows 2000 Professional, HP LaserJet 4000 Series PCL, Adobe Acrobat 5.0 and 6.0
Thanks
Kulwinder Sidhu

Hi Kulwinder,
We are getting this problem whenever we go through the following steps:
- Generate a PDF report without an ORARRP file extension on a dedicated reports server. Preview the report by opening in Adobe Reader using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT.
- Generate a PDF report with a ORARRP file extension of rrpa on a dedicated reports server. Directly print the report without a print dialog box using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT to invoke ORARRP.
After printing the Terminate Process 5-1 message appears and Adobe is left running. If the first step is missed out then printing occurs without error and Adobe closes automatically.
Please could you give more information on how you solved the problem. I am using Windows XP and Adobe 7.
Thanks,
Pete

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.

Print a report with a long cross table

Hi experts,
I try to explain..XD
I have a large cross table, and when I print it, the report is cut on the write hand, because it's to large. Por example, the number 123.234.234 its part in :
frist page 123.23
second page 34234
There is a solution to put a "Page Return" exactly where I want? I want for example a "Page Return" between cell 5 and cell 6.
thanks a lot!

I have not seen a page break, but youbcan size the columns so it breaks where you want

Time delay while printing PO Report with "watermark"

Hi XMLP Gurus,
I have to again resort to you guys for help. Hope I will find it.
I have added a watermark to the PO Report RTF template and it is taking too much time (almost 3 mins) to print the output. With out a print option the report is running normally, but when I select the print option it is taking that much time.
If I take out the watermark and print the output it is taking normal time to print.
Any idea what's going on?
Thanks in advance

Can´t print large files with 10.5.7

Hi,
we finally have updated our G5s, 2x2GHz, 4GB RAM, 500GB system disk. Since then we are unable to print documents from CS3 + CS4 which result in cups print files > 1 Gb. Doesn´t work with GMG rips, HP Laserwriters and Adobe PDF printers. The jobs always show up as "stopped" in the queue. Error log of cups says:

We have tested a catalog file with 150 pages which didn´t print. If you broke it up into 6 pieces (print page 1-25, 26-50...) it did work. Unfortunally we have jobs with single pages exceeding this limit. All together we have tested around 10 differend files.
We have tried to reset the printer queue, installed the drivers and deleted and created all printers, but nothing helps. Looks like cups or one of it´s helper can´t handle files larger than 1 GB?
Any help is welcome.

Hi there,
Does you printer/RIP support protocols other than AppleTalk? If it does, then I would change it to something like HP Jetdirect-Socket.

Can't Print Large Images With PrintJob()

Hey all,
I'm having an issue where when I try to print a larger image
via printjob one of two things happens. One either the job fails or
two the output of the image is literally diagonally cut off. I am
simply passing the stage to the print job. I've tried both with and
without using printAsBitmap. Anyone encounter anything like
that?

nope. but you'll need to scale your stage to fit the
page.

Print html report with waveform

I'm trying to make a report on my system using print from the File menu, and then saving the report as a html document. However, I don't seem to get the descriptions for waveforms in the report.
I've tried on both WIN-NT and WIN-2000 machines, but still no description.
Would also want to know if it is possible not to include descriptions of parts of clusters (such as waveforms or error clusters), but instead just include the description of the cluster itself.

In the meantime, you can use the report generation VIs to make a custom
report. Use a property node to read the description and add it wherever
you like.
