Hi Tech Gurus,
Its urgent requirement,assume that you are a end user submitting a request,once it is completed normally the output comes as a hardcopy through a printer.is it possible to configure like this.thanks in advance for ur clarification.
Regards
Samy

Hi,
To use a printer definition file (used only when running a report on a character-mode platform)
1 Set the DESFORMAT system parameter to the name of the printer definition file.
2 Set DESTYPE to Printer and DESNAME to the name of the printer.

Printing report output in PDF format

Hi,
I want to know what are the settings needed to print a report output in PDF format, while executing the report from Oracle applications (Ver 11.5.6).
Report is executed as a concurrent request from Oracle applications.
Normally when we run the report from Oracle applications, output will be opened in a internet browser(IE) in HTML format. But I want the output to be opened in PDF format instead of HTML.
OS: Sun Solaris 2.8.
Thanks & Regards,
Sarish

Hi Sarish
Please contact Oracle Support for an answer or to customise your application so that it prints a report output in PDF Format.
To get PDF output you must run report/job with DESFORMAT=PDF in the command line instead of DESFORMAT=HTML/HTMLCSS.

Print report output Automatically.

Hi friends
I am using GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS to create an spool request to print the report output automatically once it is displayed on screen, the problem with this FM if I assigned import parameter immediately = 'X' it does not create any spool request.
Is there any other way to automate the printing instead of pushing Pritn Icon on Application toolbar.
Thanks
Lakhbir

Hi,
do this way...
 CALL FUNCTION 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS'
 EXPORTING
 IMMEDIATELY = 'X' LINE_SIZE = 220
 RELEASE = 'X' MODE = 'CURRENT'
 NO_DIALOG = 'X' IMPORTING
* OUT_ARCHIVE_PARAMETERS =
 OUT_PARAMETERS = L_PARAMS
 VALID = L_VALID
 EXCEPTIONS
 ARCHIVE_INFO_NOT_FOUND = 1
 INVALID_PRINT_PARAMS = 2
 INVALID_ARCHIVE_PARAMS = 3
 OTHERS = 4.
 IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
 ENDIF.
 NEW-PAGE PRINT ON PARAMETERS L_PARAMS NO DIALOG.
"you can start your write statements here...
 PERFORM DISPLAY_DATA.
 NEW-PAGE PRINT OFF.
This will automatically prints the report

Print Report Output in PDF Format

:-) Hiee E'body
I generated the output of a Report(developed in Report Builder 6i) in PDF format.
The output file is created properly and the PDF file gets displayed on the screen in proper format but when i try to print the PDF file it gets printed across the page instead of printing
it straight.
I have checked all page and printer settings but cannot find the reason for this.
If anybody is aware of the solution to this problem please guide me for the same.
Have a nice day !!
Thanking You ..

Very Urgent! Print Report output to local printer on button click in form

In Sales Order Form there is a print receipt button. In current situation On Clicking the 'Print Receipt Button' it submits a XML Publisher report(PDF output) to the concurrent manager. Currently to print that report i need to go view--> requests--> view output and then print. According to my new Requirement i need to print that report directly to local printer on one simple Print receipt button click in form.
I am trying to call the printers on server using custom.pll. The report is running successfully but it is not printing output to the local printer. I need to print the report to the local printers based on responsibility. Local printers are available on apps server. Can anyone help me on this issue ASAP.
Is it possible to print the document using custom.pll? Is there any other alternative to print the report on simple button click in form.
Environment: Apps 11.5.10.2, Forms 6i
Here is the code that i am using in my custom.pll.
if (v_form_name = 'OEXOETEL' --and v_block_name = 'LINES_SUMMARY'
     and name_in('parameter.ACTIONS') = 'PAYMENT_RECEIPT' )THEN
l_organization_id := Name_In('PARAMETER.OE_ORGANIZATION_ID');
l_order_header_id := Name_In('ORDER.header_id');
select to_number(oe_sys_parameters.value ('SET_OF_BOOKS_ID')) into l_sob_id from dual;
xml_layout := FND_REQUEST.ADD_LAYOUT('XXAFP','XXAFPOEXPMTRCRTF','en','US','PDF');

     then

FND_MESSAGE.ERROR;
else

END IF;
I need to complete this requirement immediately. Can anyone suggest me better ways in doing this.
Thanks,
Srinivas

I solved this problem myself using shell script through custom.pll. I wrote shellscript and called that shellscript through FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST.It printed 2 copies to local printer.

Report output different when sent directly to printer

I have a report that if formated for 8.5 x 11 paper and has an address at the bottom of the page. When the report is generated as a pdf the address is in the corrent postion. When the report is sent directly to a printer from the report server the bottom 2 inches of the report are not printed. If i send the pdf version to the same printer it prints correctly.
Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your answer, Ramachandra!
However I need some more specific information to solve this.
Which printer layout settings are relevant for the handling of margins and duplex printing for Adobe Forms?
I have not set up the printer myself but when talking to the printer guy which settings should I recommend him to look at?
I can see in transaction SPAD that there are settings specific to SmartForms but there is nothing said about Adobe Forms. Is there some way to make Adobe Forms related setting appear in SPAD for a device type?
Maybe my problem is not related to the printer device settings but rather to the way the printer is being called. When printing duplex we will have to override the default settings of the printer anyway.
Function module FP_JOB_OPEN has a parameter structure of the type SFPOUTPUTPARAMS. Which fields in this parameter structure are to be manipulated to get duplex print and output fitted to page size?

Unable to send report output to printer when using RUN_REPORT_OBJECT in 10g

Hello All,
When I try to send my report output to a file from my form(10g), I get 'FRM-41213: Unable to connect to report server'. I can sucessfully send my report to printer when I set the REPORT_DESTYPE to 'PRINTER'.Here is the code from my when-button-pressed trigger.
Am I missing something?

repid REPORT_OBJECT;
v_rep VARCHAR2(100);
rep_status VARCHAR2(20);

repid := find_report_object('PWRR_CTRL_TYP_MAINT');

Thanks,

Hi,
its because
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_FILENAME,'C:\TEST1.doc');
references the report rdf pr rep file to run, not the output file. The Reports output file is always specified with DESNAME

If you use Windows the user that runs the reports server is usually LocalSystem. Check this in the Windows Services panel.
LocalSystem has no printer access. To be able to print, you have to use a real domain user that has access to the printer. So, change the Log on properties in the Services panel.
