Reg PDF Action in BLS

Hi All,
I am using a query which retrieves records and sends it into a pdf document.In the PDF document so generated i am getting Query column names only in first page.I would like to have it in all pages of the PDF document. Please help me at the earliest.
Thanks and regards,
Ravi Kumar

Unfortunately, you'll need to do the "splitting" in BLS logic, with a repeater action.
1) Create your PDF document action.
2) Create an "empty" xMII document identical to your query results, but with no rows (you can do this by copying the entire document and then deleting the Rows, or by other techniques).
3) Loop through each record in your query using a repeater and append the row to your empty document. When your desired per-page rowcount has been achieved (using a Local variable as a counter), add a PDFTable to the PDFDocument, then clear/empty the xMII document.
I hope this gives you the start of an idea for managing this situation. I prototyped a few new actions that use the PDF rendering engine in WebAS and allow you to use the Adobe PDF forms designer for building reports. The xMII team is looking at potentially adding them to the product or providing them as "freeware" here on SDN.
Best regards,
Rick

PDF action horizontal line

Hi,
How to reduce horizontal line length in PDF action,in BLS
Regards,
Senthil.

Hi,
You can not reduce the horizontal line length in PDF action.
It would be possible if you create your report as an HTML page.In HTML report you can play based on your requirement.
You can use BLS to write to the file and/or append to a string that builds up your HTML content. You can easily create callable "sub transactions" that take an xMII recordset and convert it to an HTML table.After execute the transaction your Report will be saved in HTML format.
Hope this will help you.
Thanks,

Problem with PDF Actions in SAP MII 12.2

hi all,
I'm trying to generate PDF documentation work in 12.2 version of MII. Below are the steps followed as per note 1325997
I've downloaded the PDF Actions files:
Downloaded the iText.jar and iTextAsian.jar files.
Custom action updated with PDFActions.jar as the assembly .jar file, and iText.jar and iTextAsian.jar as the dependency .jar files and Deployed the custom action.
Workbench does show up with PDF action blocks like PDF Document, PDF Table...etc but seems to be an issue as these do not look like the standard actions with no icons attached to them.
I've tried to create a new transaction and include any actions to the sequence, but no luck as it doesn't assigns the PDF action
i've downloaded iText.Jar and iTeaxtAsian.jar files from iTEXT website. please inform if exact version i-e 1.4.5 files
are available on SAP downloads (if any).
Is anything missing..?
Appreciate any efforts.....
Regards,
Zaigham

Hi Zaigham,
Follow the steps as mentioned below.
1. Download PDFActions.jar as per SAP Note 1109054.
2. Download iText 1.4.5 from http://www.java2s.com/Code/Jar/i/Downloaditext145jar.htm
3. Download iTextAsian (Latest Version) from http://sourceforge.net/projects/itext/files/
extrajars --> extrajars 2.0.zip
After you unzip the files take only itext-asian.jar
4. Rename itext-1.4.5.jar to iText.jar
5. Rename itext-asian.jar to iTextAsian.jar
6. Zip all the three files (PDFActions.jar, iText.jar and iTextAsian.jar) to one zip file and name it PDFActions.zip
Final Step --> upload and deploy the zip file PDFActions.zip in MII custom Actions.
Hope it solves your problem.

Firoz.

PDF Action configuration window is not opening

Hi ,
I am working on xMII 12.0.In the Logic editor PDF Action blocks when i click on configuration , window is not opening.But the Link editor is opening.It is only for PDF action blocks.can any one tell me the solution for this.
Thanks&Regards
Guru.

I have sorted it. I played about with the apps window and found that PDF files were listed seperately to other adobe types in the list.
With a bit of trial and error, I discovered that by setting the download window to open and save file in c:users/user/downloads, along with setting PDF files to 'always ask' in the apps tab - it worked again.
Still don't know how it managed to change itself in the first place though!

Configuration hint for PDF Action in 12.0.3 / 12.0.4

A few hints how to configure the PDF Actions in xMII 12.0.3 and 12.0.4 because there are different confusing information around.
There is an older note [1022113 |http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1022113]for 12.0 - but don't make the mistake to use it. The attached .jar file makes problem in 12.0.3 / 12.0.4 and the information to use the current release of iText is also wrong.
There is a newer note [1109054|http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1109054] for 12.0 SP2.
The attached PDFActions.jar file (as .zip) is correct.
1) Download the .jar file
2) Be sure to use the version 1.4.5 from iText: [http://downloads.sourceforge.net/itext/itext-1.4.5.jar|http://downloads.sourceforge.net/itext/itext-1.4.5.jar]
3) Rename the file itext-1.4.5.jar to iText.jar
4) Open a browser window and navigate to the SAP xMII Administration Menu at http://<server>:<port>/XMII/Menu.jsp.
5) On the SAP xMII Administration Menu, choose System Management -> Custom Actions. The Custom Actions screen appears.
6) To upload the .jar files to SAP xMII, click Upload. PDFActions.jar is the assembly .jar file, and iText.jar is the dependency .jar files.
12.0.4
This is ok for 12.0.3, but after an upgrade to 12.0.4 you cannot open the workbench because of a missing iTextAsian.jar. To avoid this you have to download [http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/itext/iTextAsian.jar|http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/itext/iTextAsian.jar].
If you do it before step 6 above you have to use iTextAsian.jar as second dependency file.
If the PDF actions are already deployed (for example in 12.0.3), you have to delete (don't forget to deploy after that) and to upload and deploy the three files again.
Now it should work. Try the function "Generate Documentation" in a transaction in the workbench to test it.
Regards,
Markus

Hi Markus Seeger
Thak-s for your little manual!
It works also for SAP xMII 12.0.6!!!
Does anybody know if its possible to send and email with more than one attachments?
Thanks in advance.

Watermark PDF action

I am having trouble with the Watermark PDF action. Whenever I attempt to enter anything in the X or Y offset, the program locks up and I have to force quit. Anyone else experienced this?

same problem here; this is the first time I've ever tried to use the feature, so I have no idea if it ever did work.
The offset text boxes exhibit the problem. When I tried to reset the angle to 0 using the keyboard, once I typed "0", every key that I pressed added another zero into the box: tab, delete, return...you name it. Grumble.

UME Roles for PDF Actions

Hello All,
Can you please let me know which UME roles I need to add in NWA to enable PDF actions in MII workbench for my user. For e.g. I want to use the Generate Documentation feature and even after following SAP notes 1325997. Its still disabled.
Thanks,
Kiran

Hi Jeremy,
Thanks for your help in answering our questions. I tried adding the PDF actions XMII_PDF* to one of our roles assigned to the user and still the Generate Documentation icon is disabled. I followed the steps provided in 1325997
Solution
1. Download and unzip the attached pdfactions.zip file to your local
machine.
2. Obtain version 1.4.5. of
the third-party iText.jar and iTextAsian.jar, from
http://www.lowagie.com/iText/download.html and save to your local machine.
3. Rename the files iText.jar and iTextAsian.jar making sure to match the
noted case.
4. Open a browser window and navigate to the SAP xMII Administration
Menu at http://<server>:<port>/XMII/Menu.jsp.
5. On the SAP xMII Administration Menu, choose System Management ->
Custom Actions. The Custom Actions screen appears.
6. To upload the .jar files to SAP xMII, click Upload. PDFActions.jar is
the assembly .jar file, and iText.jar and/or iTextAsian.jar are the
dependency .jar files.
I also restarted my server to make sure the changes will be activated but so far I have been unable to make it work.
Thanks,
Kiran

Using Calculation Action in BLS Transaction

I'm trying to pass the values of two tags in a tag query into a calculation action in a BLS transaction and add the two values together. I'm linking the action result property to the expression that does the calculation. When I click on the 'Evaluate' button in the link editor I get the correct result but the action result itself is always zero and zero gets passed into my next action block. Any ideas? (I'm using xMII 11.5 SP3)

Thanks, Jeremy. The variables coming out of my tag query are doubles. I'm not sure how to tell what the data type of the calculation "result" variable is.
My result variable for each calculation always seemed to be zero (I mean I would hover my mouse pointer over "result" and I'd see a zero). I decided to write my results out to a text file and it looked OK so I'm not sure why I was seeing zeroes in the link editor.
In any event, my output from the transaction seems to be OK so I'm ready to declare success and move on.

WebService action in BLS

I exposed a BLS transaction using
http://<server:port>/XMII/WSDLGen/<transaction name>.
Is it possible to communicate with this transaction through a WebService action block in another transaction.?
I have successfully used the WebService action block to communicate with a Java WebService hosted in axis2 environment.
Please help
Thanks and Regards,
Rajath

Thanks Michael
I have a simple transaction which writes a file in to some location. I exposed this transaction using WSDLGen. And configured a BLS WebService action using the above URI in another transaction.
When i executed the second transaction, i got an error : "Error invoking WebServer Action:null".
I have given the sufficient security permissions to both the transactions and had also give the login credentials with admin privilege. What could be wrong???
Any help?

PDF action links

I have report with table view.
One of the column has action link, whivh open Google search page with the cell value as the query.
The exported PDF of table report include the action links in the resulting table: below the cell value there is also the link option (in each row).
a. It doesn't work. When I click on the action link in the PDF I got error on browser.
b. Even if would have been working. When the user send this PDF to someone else without OBIEE connection, it won't work. Can I disable it?

Hi Adil,
Placing the pdf file in /l_en folder dint work for me too however you can place them inside the following paths and restart the services,
D:\MWARE\user_projects\domains\bifoundation_domain\servers\AdminServer\tmp\_WL_user\analytics_11.1.1\silp1v\war\res
AND
D:\MWARE\Oracle_BI1\bifoundation\web\app\res
You can then call your file with the url, http://hostname:port/analytics/res/filename.pdf
It worked for me, let me know in case of any issues.

Generating error with export to PDF action

Hi,<br>
After we have implemented Nakisa OrgChart Accelerated (live solution) successfully, we installed export pack 3.0 correctly. If we want to export an OrgChart to PDF a message pops up saying that an error occurred while generating the file.<br>
What is/can causing this?<br>
Thanks in advance,<br>
Bruno

Hi Bruno,
I know that the PDF functionality only works after Service Pack 1.0 has been installed because of some content in the CSS files in the Themes folder. I am unsure if implementing this element or the whole of Service Pack 1.0 would fix this for Accelerated because of potential style changes, but you could try it. I believe the files are orgChartTheme.css and NOMSStyle1.css.
I hope that helps.

Set PDF Action - size limitation

I am using Oracle 9ias and Adobe Acrobat 4
I am creating hyperlinks in a report that call another report (including passing parameters). This works fine in HTML output, in PDF output the link seems to cut off after 259 characters.
Is this a true issue? if so is it an Oracle problem or Adobe problem.
Regards
Nigel

It looks like a problem in acrobat.
I have an adobe acrobat, and I create a weblink URL for an area in a PDF file. I type in more than 300 characters for the URL, then re-edit the URL, I only see 259 characters.
Thanks,

Watermark PDF Action (Offset x,y now working)

I can create a watermarked PDF just fine, however, Automator freezes when I try to change the x and y offsets. As soon as I put the cursor in the box and try to change the value from 0, Automator will freeze.
Any workarounds?

I have played with that myself. Although it does seem to crash when you try to change those values you can still get it to work. For example, if I wanted to change the x offset to 50 I would select the current x offset then type 50. You'll see that when you type 50 it doesn't appear in the field and seems to lock up Automator... but that's OK. What you need to do after typing 50 press command-s on your keyboard to save the workflow, then press command-q to quit automator.
Now just open the automator workflow again and you will see that 50 is in the x offset field. So although it does appear to lockup, you can still save your change and quit automator. It's not a good solution but it works. You just have to save and quit and re-open the workflow every time you make a change.
