Queries regarding Printing in BIP

Hi All,
I have a requirement where the reports generated in BI Publisher needs to be directly send to the printer.The BIP is integrated to an application and we use BIP only for generting the PDF and excel reports.
I am trying to understand how the printing works in BIP and have a few queries regarding them. Listed below
1) The code that invokes the print functionality, is it something that resides on the server which hosts BIP?, or is it more a client side code (application that calls BIP)?
2) Do I have explicitly set my printer properties like host name , port #..etc in the code? I saw it being done in the documentation
------------From BIP Documentation -------------------------
// set IPP printer host
req.addProperty(DeliveryPropertyDefinitions.IPP_HOST, "myhost");
// set IPP printer port
req.addProperty(DeliveryPropertyDefinitions.IPP_PORT, "631");
// set IPP printer name
req.addProperty(DeliveryPropertyDefinitions.IPP_PRINTER_NAME,
"/printers/myprinter");
3) Do we need to know the printer details of each user prior to printing?
4) If the userbase is quite large, how can we set the printer properties for each individual users?. Is this a property set for each individual user?
5) Can we extract the printer details from a client machine and send it across to BIP for it to set the property and do the printing?.
Any thoughts ideas..and answers are welcome
Thnx in advance

Hi Rajeshree,
This is a new doc management feature of SRM 5.0.
You can now create versions, lock the document for local modification (check-in/out).
This requires an applet.

A few queries regarding the beauty that is Nokia 5...

I got this beautiful lil machine a lil over a week back. It looks lovely, and sounds even better. And even though, being a student/intern, it cost me more than my monthly salary, I am mighty pleased I got it. And despite the opposition before, it's a great hit, both at home and work.
Just a few queries regarding the usage from my experience so far, the answers to which I could not find in this forum and a few other review sites. [Apologies if I'd missed something.]
1- First, the battery. It only lasts for a little over a day on full charge. From what I'd heard and read, it looked like it should last quite a bit a more, atleast 2 full days. The phone even hung up a couple of times, while recording/playing video. Upon which I had to remove and reinsert the battery. How seriously wrong is this ?
2- How do you forcefully exit an application, if need be ? It suggests in the guide, and from the reviews I read, there's supposed to be an exit and a start button with the applications when you bring up the task manager. Where're they?
3- There's this option where you can insert a Slideshow as your Wallpaper. But when I go to it, select the desired images, [ Tried various random images, yes ]it only shows Options and Back button, when select Back, it just goes, well, back. Nothing really happens to the wallpaper. How does that work ?
4- This might seem like a petty issue, but it can be pretty annoying. Once you go to Options and tell it you are marking, e.g. in the Inbox or the File Manager, how do you mark multiple items, WITHOUT having to go to Options >Mark >Mark/Unmark for each item ? What's the point of having a seperate Marking option in the first place then, when I could just Move or Delete each item seperately anyway.
5- And last, any news on a free full version of a document viewer ? From what I looked up, it costs around US$70, which is about a quarter of the phone's purchase price itself. And that's not a modest sum, that too for a basic application such as this, for a anyone with my status.
Just so any prospective buyer or amateur user such as myself doesn't get scared off by the seemingly long list of inquiries, the phone's an absolute pleasure to use. Specially, for someone with their first Touchscreen/Symbian experience. I got this phone after a LOT of research, both online and in the field. And it's bloody well worth it so far.
I know, it's a huge post, but you'd have my utmost gratitude for an accurately detailed response. Thankyou. =)
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Why of course. Something happening to your phone during the process would brick it, not to mention that the attempt would install something in your phone that voids the warranty, meaning that you just made yourself a very expensive paperweight. ^_^. We're not really allowed to talk about it, other than the fact that with the above possibility, I strongly advise you not to do so. There is a way to do it without hacking it. I know of people who have managed to do it without hacking, but it was on the 5800. Hmm, ok, maybe they'll work for you too though.

Queries regarding Year End Closing Activity

Hi Experts/Moderator,
I need solution to my queries regarding Year End Closing Activity?
1. How can we post adjustment entries to GL/AR/AP/BANK/ASSET accounts in the previous FYu20192008 in Apr/May/Jun/Julyu20192009 using Special Posting Periods, if already balances are carrying forwarded to next FY 2009? What effects on the Opening Balances already carry forwarded?
2. Can we run the Asset Depreciation for the previous FY 2008 in Apr/May/Jun/Julyu20192009 using Special Posting Periods, if already balances are carrying forwarded to next FY 2009? What effects on the Opening Balances already carry forwarded?
Thanks & Regards
Chandra

Hi,
You can carryforward the balance of GL, AP & AR. System is automatic updated the balance in current fiscal year if you pass the adjustment entries in previous fiscal year 2008 using special period. You can also run the deperciation.

Queries regarding Flash Builder and Augmented Reality.

I am Sarat from India. I'm a software engineer with working knowledge of Java, so Flash AS and OOP are understandable for me. I am working on an augmented reality project. I am quite new to Flash, Adobe Community and I've got some queries regarding Augmented Reality and Flash Builder:
1. Flash Builder 4.6 comes with a default Flex 4.6 SDK. However, Flex 4.6 SDK wasn't allowing me to compile and run some example files. So I've downloaded Flex 4.0A version from Adobe.com. Now the examples are running fine, but would there be any problem if i try deploying such projects in a website or as a desktop app? Once the code is compiled into a swf file, the flex framework used doesn't make much difference, does it?
2. Would the AR project run effectively on a website, given various internet/processor speeds worldwide? Would the effectiveness of the AR project, deployed on a website, depend on the number of triangles in the 3D models i.e. dae files? Because as per my understanding heavy models implies more time to download the flash app into the local browser from the internet and more time to render them by the papervision 3D engine right?
3. Can we develop a stand alone desktop AR app using Flash Builder? Using Adobe AIR we can, i guess. Please refer some tutorial, if possible.
4. I've seen that we can implement multiple-marker-tracking AR using vectors/arrays in AS. Would there be any performance issues depending on the size of the vectors/arrays used.
5. Can someone please mention some tips to improve performance of an AR app (desktop app and web app)?
6. What would be, approximately, the cost of FLARManager, FLARToolkit commercial versions, if you have any idea? I've gone through their website but they did not mention the costs.
7. Would applying bitmap material to the dae models pull down the web app/mobile app/desktop app performance, given some 4 to 5 dae models in the scene?
8. Is it advisable to use multiple markers with multiple dae models or single marker with Flash-based GUI option to load different models onto the same marker?
It would be very helpful for me if someone could answer my above queries.
Sarat.

#1, If it compiles then you have no issue. There's no reason at this point not to use 4.6. You should bundle a captive runtime to assure the users computer won't need to have AIR installed at all.
#2, Papervision is old. Use the Stage3D and/or a wrapper framework. As far as the generic "If I download lots of data will it take the user more time to load it", well, of course. Just don't make the loading experience painful. Entertain them while they way or find ways of displaying data sooner than later. If it's desirable on the web has more to do with the context of the app and the device displaying it. In other words, a phone user would find it easy but obviously not a desktop user.
#3, Definitely referring you to Google on that one.
#4, Size always matters, it's common sense. The more you process the harder it is. While I haven't done AR I've used the Microsoft Kinect SDK and ANE and tracking was extremely fast but limited. From what I've seen and your basic built in location and direction hardware on any mobile device you shouldn't have much trouble. Depends on what you're doing.
#5, This discussion would be way too large for a forum. You'd need to consult a firm experienced in AR development.
#6, "Applications using the commercial license do not have to provide source code, but must pay a licensing fee. Contact ARToolworks at [email protected] for more information." They will base your price on your product, there is no single price.
#7, The models could be huge and elaborate or tiny and simple which changes the answer. Consult the answer in #4. Ultimately most people are getting on fast networks with mobile and excessively fast on desktop/wifi. Size matters a lot less than 3 years ago.
#8, Depends on what you're doing. You have to explain it.

Queries regarding N:1 Mapping

Hello XI Experts,
I have gone through one the most popular weblog on N:1.
/people/pooja.pandey/blog/2005/07/27/idocs-multiple-types-collection-in-bpm
I have some queries regarding this...
1. In Step 3, while creating message interfaces...which message type we have to select for MI_NOM_ABS (Abstract Asynchronous)
2. In Step 4, in Message mappings...which messages we have to select as a source and target messages for all the 4 Mappings of;
MM_ISU_UKGAS_NOM1_to_NOM1_ABS
(ii) MM_ISU_UKGAS_NOM2_to_NOM2_ABS
(iii) MM_ISU_UKGAS_NOM3_to_NOM3_ABS
(iv) MM_ISU_UKGAS_NOM_to_NOM_ABS
Do the needful.
Thanks n Advance.,
Xavier

Stallin,
> Question 1
use MT_NOM
>Question 2
First 3 mappings source and target are same in Message Mapping, in case of Interface Mapping Outbound IDOC to Abstract IDOC.
4th mapping 3 IDOC's as the source , MT_NOM as the target.
If it's not clear, reply back.

Hi Monika,
Regarding which version ob BPM is your question for notifications?
In NW BPM 7.11, you can not edit the text of the notifications, only the link to Task and UWL is configurable.
In NW BPM 7.2, there is a new type of Notification activity, where you have the freedom to edit the text of the notification, also to add dynamic variables from process context, but for the generic notifications(like "New Tasks") the functionality is the same as in NW BPM 7.11.
Please find a link to NW BPM 7.11 documentation for configuring Notifications.

Few queries regarding J3RFLVMOBVED Report

Hi all,
I have a few queries regarding the J3RFLVMOBVED Report.
First and most inconsequential, the report reads Stock Overview (Russia). So why Russia?
Second, there are two checkboxes in the selection selection screen namely,
Read List from Database
Save List to Database
When I run this report once, it takes about 10 mins to fetch the output. But if I select Read List from Database, I get the result in a matter of few seconds to a couple of minutes.
So obviously I would like to know the secret behind this magic trick.
Also, what does Save List to Database do? Im a little apprehensive of trying this option. Just dont understand what it means. Hence did not try it yet. Does it mean that it is saving to a buffer or to the database as suggested(which I feel is highly unlikely).
I did debug the program. But found it too much to comprehend - pardon my n00biness for that.
If anybody has looked at this report or a similar one, with the above checkboxes, please help me out.
pk
PS: Logging out for the day. Will respond to replies on the morrow.

Hi Amit,
The Documentation for this report can be found either in Tcode J3RFLVMOBVED by clicking on the Blue i button or by going to the report J_3RMOBVED and checking the documentation there.
This part of the documentation is pretty useful:
Options to keep / receive the report from a database.
If the option "Keep report in database" is active our report is kept in the databases table "INDX" with the key "IM". That report can be used operatively for the further analysis.
The storing is possible on two vevels:
on a plant level
on a company code + GL account level
In both cases storing is possible only for one period (month).
Will check out the Notes. Actually services.sap.com has problems opening in my browser. Will have to get that rectified first.
Thanks for the info.

Few queries regarding auditing

Hi All ,
Greetings. I have some queries regarding auditing.
1.How to enable auditing for create table and truncate table by a user ?
SQL> audit table by schema_name;
Audit succeeded.Got to know the above from :http://psoug.org/reference/auditing.html
This got succeeded. But when i actually created a table , it did not reflect in the dba_audit_trail;
Do i need to use the action number from here and then combine it with some other table to obtain the create table/truncate table information ?
2. How do i check what all auditing has been enabled so far ?
Please suggest me . I am unable to track auditing for create and truncate.
Regards
Kk

In the above article that I have quoted previously it says to check the dba_audit_trail table.
COLUMN username FORMAT A10
COLUMN owner    FORMAT A10
COLUMN obj_name FORMAT A10
COLUMN extended_timestamp FORMAT A35
SELECT username,
       extended_timestamp,
       owner,
       obj_name,
       action_name
FROM   dba_audit_trail
WHERE owner = 'AUDIT_TEST'
ORDER BY timestamp;
USERNAME   EXTENDED_TIMESTAMP                  OWNER      OBJ_NAME   ACTION_NAME
AUDIT_TEST 16-FEB-2006 14:16:55.435000 +00:00 AUDIT_TEST TEST_TAB   CREATE TABLE
AUDIT_TEST 16-FEB-2006 14:16:55.514000 +00:00 AUDIT_TEST TEST_TAB   INSERT

Few queries regarding content/web content migration

Hi All,
i have few queries regarding migration of web site and contents (from development to test )which are not clarified after reading oracle docs.
--> When we do site replication will the content be migrated (data files).
--> when we migrate content will all ED and RD etc.(all web site object type be migrated).
--> are both the step necessary for migration when we have to migrate web site.
thanks
-somesh

--> When we do site replication will the content be migrated (data files).It depends how you do it. The "Site Studio Replicator" tool will not move any content, only the site structure. The "Manage Site Replication" page can be used to migrate content with the site structure but I don't recommend it for large sites, I use separate Archiver tasks for moving content. The "Backup and Restore" page stores the entire site in a ZIP file, not advisable for large sites.
--> when we migrate content will all ED and RD etc.(all web site object type be migrated).Yes. It uses the xWebsites metadata field to identify items that belong to the site.
--> are both the step necessary for migration when we have to migrate web site.Depends how you do it, but yes, all bits are required.

I want to reinstall CS4 as it has been doing some strange things regarding printing, etc. However, when I did this before, it created a major problem and I ended up buying a new computer because no one could figure out why it kept hanging up during the installation. Hours on the phone, no results. I'm scared to do it on this computer. Should I try? Not even the Adobe support could get it resolved. I believe it was somehow reading a product number that could not be deleted or something, and nothing worked.
Message was edited by: Doug Doug

Hello, as an addition:
In your case I would download a really new trial version of your program(s) in question and change it/them into a "real" version later, BUT because you said, that you "re-installed" already, so it will become a little bit more complicated. It would be necessary that you have to use "Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool" as Keith wrote.
Here an advice for that (The order varies depending on your individual needs. Please read all my proposals first, so you can better choose the first step:)
1. Maybe you have to activate/deactivate, so please have a look there:
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-deactivation-products.html
2. Sometimes, we know in the meantime, the "opm.db file" is the culprit. In this case you should delete it.
3. Be careful with (de)installing aso. by (de)installing by your own resources. As much as I regret it and as strange as it may seem I fear it's a challenge for Adobe's Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. Sometimes - for whatever reasons - CC doesn't "want" to work. In this case you should CC completely delete and reinstall by help of Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. (A try to uninstall by own resources is not enough!)
I quote: Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool helps resolve installation problems for Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Suite (CS3-CS6) applications. The tool removes installation records for prerelease installations of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications. It does not affect existing installations of previous versions of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications.
Please use: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html and follow the prescribed sequence of operations
4. If necessary and for further questions click through http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html and if "open" please use the chat, I for may part - as it seems unlike you - had the best experiences. I quote from Adobe's employee Preran: The chat button is activated as soon as there is an agent available to help.

AP Check Printing via BIP

Hello,
We are down to the last few reports that we need to migrate off of our old system (Optio) onto BIP, and as the title suggests these are our checks (AP first, then payroll).
Our AP checks print with the check itself on the bottom of the page and the list of invoices that the check includes being printed in the top 3/4th of the page (using apxpbfeg to serve up the data as per the docs).
Also, we have the requirement that our AP department can print a single check for up to 300 invoices from the same supplier.
So, we often have multiple pages of details regarding the check, with the check voided at the bottom of all of the pages except the last page which will have the single check used to pay all of the listed invoices (above and on previous pages).
Has anyone tackled this before? If so, would you mind sharing the template [[email protected]]?
Has anyone come up with a way to control the line behavior across pages WITHOUT counting lines on the page (we have been waiting for over three years for a better way Oracle!)?
Please do not just point me to the 2-3 year old articles posted on Tim's blog... Thanks anyway.
Very Sincerely,
Scott

Yes, I beleive you are correct.
Thanks for the sample template I have already started down that road and it was nice to see your template is very similiar to what I have so far.
Another example is always nice to have.
I have heard that PDF templates can solve this "line counting" challenge but I have not delved into those as of yet and would rather not start on the last two reports I have to convert, esp. since they are the (all important) checks.
Thanks again,
Scott

Usually the BEX is slower than the web applications.BEX needs a lot of resources on the client computer.
Are you using any macors / VB code to do some processing before display the query output in BEX ?
