Regarding Printer Tray Selection while running BI Publisher Report.

Hi All,
Below is my requirement.
When ever user tries to run the report, based on the customer code the printer tray has to be passed to printer so that the report gets printed by selecting the paper from the same tray. Each printer tray will have different paper color.
Let me know how can I achieve this? Its very urgent..
Thanks
Babu

hi,
Just now i identified that its not deleting the report but its reverting back the report to its previous version. Let me explain it you in details:
suppose i created a report with following query source as Oracle Database:
select territory_code from fnd_territories_tl
where LANGUAGE = USERENV ('Lang')
now if i modify the query in the same report to following query:
<dataTemplate name="dunningLetter" description="Dunning Letter Report" dataSourceRef="IPOVIS" defaultPackage="xx_shpckt_init" Version="1.0">
<parameters>
<parameter name="p_order_number" dataType="character"/>
</parameters>
<dataQuery>
<sqlStatement name="Q1">
<![CDATA[select order_number from oe_order_headers where order_number = :p_order_number
]]>
</sqlStatement>
</dataQuery>
<dataTrigger name="beforeReport" source="xx_shpckt_init.beforeReportTrigger"/>
</dataTemplate>
and then if i run the report again, the report will still show the result of previous query!! and then if i go back to data model then it will show the previous query there!! not sure why is it doing this way?? Also sometimes, when i create a new report and then view the result then it will revert its previous stage i.e report without Data model, LOVs and parameters!! That is the reason i thought its deleting the report while running report.
Please suggest why is it acting this way? Appreciate your help and time.
Thanks,
Regards,

Run BI Publisher report from an application directly to a printer.

Dear All,
I have an HTML page (with JavaScripts),
I want to Run BI Publisher report from this page directly to a printer. (and send parameters).
Can anyone help me, and send me Demo URL or Demo code to do this?
Regards,
Tovit

Tovit
you are going to have build out a servlet that the page can call. The servlet will need to implement the supported web services to schedule a report. The schedule can include the delivery options ie to a printer. So you would create a schedule that runs the report immediately via the scheduler and then to the printer.
I dont currently have any servlet demos but the services are pretty well covered in the user docs.
check them out and give it a try, if you get stuck let me know

Printer tray selection VS2010

We have the following questions regarding windows printer default tray determining tray to print from:
 
1. When we set m_reportClass.PrintOptions.PaperSource = CrystalDecisions.Shared.PaperSource.FormSource, it defaults back to Auto (we can see that when we debug, it simply ignores the command) - why is that, and which option should we use to get the printer to use PrinterDefaultTray?
 
2. Default Printer impacts rpt. file even though "No Printer" is checked in the Page Setup dialog - so the default printer set on the developer PC opening the Page Setup of a .rpt file (not making a change, just opening) will change the file. Why is that and what change is made?
 
3. We have made a default 'dummy' printer on the developer pc which is used when opening the .rpt file. If a similar printer with the same name does not exist on the PC printing the report, we cannot control the tray that is prints from.
 
Is there a viewer that can show what has been changed inside an .rpt file to better understand what is happening to the file when it is opened in VS2010?
 
We are experiencing an issue with Crystal Reports VS2010 when trying to print reports to a specific tray. We have recently upgraded from .net 1.1 to .net 4.0 and in relation to this we also upgraded the CR version.
 
In the previous version we were able to setup windows printers with a specific default tray and when printing to this windows printer, the default tray of this windows printer was used. We have a range of printers being used in a client windows forms application, so we need to be able to continue letting the windows printer definition determine which tray to use. Preferable we would like to set PaperSource to UsePrinterDefaultTray, but that option does not seem to exist (or we have not found it yet). We have found another solution, but would like to understand why it works so we know that it is a viable solution.
 
The application is based on creating a report using the CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportClass. The example below has been shortened for readability:
 
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportClass m_reportClass = new new EKRB007A(); 
// create/get data for report 
// u2026 
m_reportClass.PrintOptions.PaperSize = CrystalDecisions.Shared.PaperSize.PaperA4; 
m_reportClass.FormatEngine.PrintOptions.PaperSize = CrystalDecisions.Shared.PaperSize.PaperA4; 
 
m_reportClass.SetDataSource(this.dataSet); 
 
CrystalDecisions.Shared.PageMargins pm = new CrystalDecisions.Shared.PageMargins( 
 this.getA4InvoicePrinterOriginalHorizontalAlignment(), 
 this.getA4InvoicePrinterOriginalVerticalAlignment(), 
 m_reportClass.PrintOptions.PageMargins.rightMargin, 
 this.getA4InvoicePrinterOriginalVerticalAlignment() ); 
 
m_reportClass.PrintOptions.ApplyPageMargins( pm ); 
 
// The name of the windows printer to use is read from parameters. 
m_reportClass.PrintOptions.PrinterName = this.getA4InvoicePrinterCopy(); // here it will return 'InvoicePrinter' 
 
m_reportClass.PrintToPrinter( 
 1, 
 true, 
 1, 
 m_reportClass.FormatEngine.GetLastPageNumber( new CrystalDecisions.Shared.ReportPageRequestContext())); 
The printer has the 'No Printer' set in the Page Setup dialog as we have different printers with different number of trays, so we need to be able to specify the printer at runtime (according to the VS2010 CR documentation, there should be two dialogs - Print Setup and Page Setup, but in VS2010, we can only find the Page Setup, and it includes some of the options from the old Print Setup dialog).
 
Developer A, has two printers: printer 'Generic Text' set to default and printer 'InvoicePrinter' (the one to print from as read from the paramter in the above code). The 'Generic Text' is a generic text printer with no trays and the 'InvoicePrinter' is an OKI printer with two trays. 
Developer B, has printer 'InvoicePrinter' set as default. 
Developer C, has two printers: printer 'SalesList' set to default and printer 'InvoicePrinter' 
Developer A sets up printer 'InvoicePrinter' to print in tray 1 (and 'Generic Text' is default printer). Then opens the .rpt file and compiles. If a print is made on the developer PC, it prints to the correct tray. We can change 'InvoicePrinter' to tray 2 and again it prints correctly. However, if the same .dll is deployed on Developer B's PC, and a print is made, it always uses the same tray even though the windows printer is changed (it actually uses the 'InvoicePrinter', but it ignores the tray it is configured to use). The same is the case for Developer C's PC.
 
We have tried to set m_reportClass.PrintOptions.PaperSource = CrystalDecisions.Shared.PaperSource.FormSource and m_reportClass.PrintOptions.PaperSource = CrystalDecisions.Shared.PaperSource.Auto, but it has no impact.
 
If Developer B adds a printer called 'Generic Text' (even though it is not to be used) AND sets this printer to be the default printer, then it works exactly as on Developer A's PC - meaning that the windows printer tray definition of 'InvoicePrinter' is used correctly.
 
Our solution rigth now is to install a 'dummy' printer on all developer PCs and on all client PCs. This printer must be set as default printer on developer PCs so when the Page Setup of any .rpt file is opened (yes, just opening it changes the file), the new file generated will be based on the 'Generic Text' printer. We will then change the default printer on client PCs just before printing to the 'Generic Text' printer and set it back to their 'normal' default afterwards.
 
In my dev team we all agree that this is not the optimal solutions, so any suggestions will be well received.

Use the InProc RAS SDK, not CR SDK. More functional, same licensing.

Error while running the financial report in the workspace.

Hi,
Im getting the below error while running the financial report in the workspace in HTML mode.
*"Required application module reporting.HRRunDlg is not configured. Please contact your administrator".*
And im not able to login to the Hyperion Financial Reporting as well.. i get the below error
*"You are not authorized to use this functionality. Contact your administrator"*
Can someone let me know how to resolve this error.

You don't mention the version, what app server or web server you are using, etc.. That information might be helpful, but in general, you can try the following:
1. Make sure you have gone through the FR Web App deployment steps and verify the settings entered in the Config Tool.
2. For version 11.1.1.x and 9.3.1.x, try opening the report in FR Studio and running it via the FR Studio Print Preview (*bold*not*bold* Web Preview.) If the report runs/processes, then the back-end FR Services are functioning and the issue is confined to the web interface. Verify the FR Web App is up and listening on the designated port (8200, by default), check the FR Web App logs and the App Server (WebLogic, WebSphere, Tomcat, OAS) logs for errors/issues.
If the report fails to process in FR Studio Print Preview, then there is a problem with the FR Reporting Server Service. Check to make sure the service is up/functioning and check the FR Report Server logs for errors.
3. Test access to other FR functionality in workspace (ex: Files->Preferences->Financial Reporting or Explore->Tools->Database Connection Manager?) If these don't work, then try to connect to the following URLs:
http://workspaceServer:19000/hr/status.jsp
http://frWebAppServer:8200/hr/status.jsp
Note: The URLs above assume standard/default ports. You may need to adjust them for your environment.
If the first URL fails, but the second URL works, there is a problem with the HTTP redirect settings on the Web Server (Apache, IIS, etc.) Run through the Workspace deployment and make sure the Web Server Config settings point to the right ports/servers.

Run XML Publisher Report via URL (like Oracle Reports)

Hi All,
Is it possible to run xml-publisher report via URL?
In Oracle Reports works this fine:
http://test:7777/reports/rwservlet?server=test_bihome1&report=test1.rdf&userid=test/testv@db&desformat=pdf&destype=cache
We need this for public reports without user login.
Thanks
Thomas

Thomas,
I was waiting to get home before Tim replied... He got the better of me this time :-)
You say you want to let your users run reports using XMLP just by clicking on an URL same way you do with reports and without having to login. If I got the question right and assuming that:
1.Your company is not overly concerned on who runs what reports
2.Who sees what data
3.Your XMLP installation is on your intranet and firewalled from the outside
What you can do is:
On the main page of your XMLP Enterprise installation you should see a folder called "Guest". Any report you create under this folder is run as user "guest" which means you don't have to authenticate yourself as you would normally do.
I have tested this on my home server and this is what I've done:
1.Logged in as admin or any other user you've created with admin privileges created a report under the "Guest" folder.
2.Copied the URL, on my server it is "http://samba.private.net:15101/xmlpserver/Guest/People/People.xdo"
4.Logged off as admin and pasted the URL to a new browser window
5.Hit return and Voila, my report runs without the need to login to XMLP.
Hope this helps. Let us know how you got on.
Cheers,
Joao
PS: If you want to see the report for yourself here's the URL from the outside: http://medeiros.homelinux.net:15101/xmlpserver/Guest/People/People.xdo
I'll keep the link alive for a couple of days.

Check printing Tray selection

Hi,
I have a requirement in which i have to print checks after printing some invoice details. The customer requirement is that checks are to be different/special paper kept in a different tray. So the logic requires that all the details be printed on normal page in default tray, while the checks should be printed from paper in different tray.
Is there a was to perform Tray selection using XMLPub APIs ?
Thanks in advance
