Hi friends,
I am trying to download Sap Quotation into PDF from VB application using RFC connection. The problem is WS_DOWNLOAD RAISING Exception NO_BATCH. I had read one of the link which talks about using datasets etc, but doesn't apply for my case.
I need to download PDF version of Sap Quotation using RFC connection from VB. please help me

Lakhbir

Hi Rich,
I had also found an Sap note that also says about using Datasets.. anyidea, we can have this done in some other way..
or should we give it up as not supported by Sap.

Show PDF from RFC

Hi,
I´ve installed ESS BP on my portal and some of the reports are showed as a PDF file, and I was wondering how did they do that?
Seem like the rfc send the file, like a binary sent thru the function.
Any idea? Any sample how to do that?
Thanks,
Edu

Eduardo,
I've used a binary type in a similar situation. The RFC retrievers a BINARY type and my Web Dynpro applications show the PDF result.
Following my Web Dynpro code:
IWDCachedWebResource resource = WDWebResource.getWebResource
(wdContext.currentZ_Pdf_Report_OutputElement().getPdf(),
WDWebResourceType.getWebResourceTypeForFileExtension("pdf"));
resource.setResourceName(this.getDescriptionReport());
// Create a External Window with the URL destination
IWDWindow window = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().
createExternalWindow(resource.getURL(), this.getDescriptionReport(), true);
// Eliminate some features of the window
window.removeWindowFeature(WDWindowFeature.ADDRESS_BAR);
window.removeWindowFeature(WDWindowFeature.MENU_BAR);
window.removeWindowFeature(WDWindowFeature.STATUS_BAR);
window.removeWindowFeature(WDWindowFeature.TOOL_BAR);
window.setWindowSize(780,430);
window.setWindowPosition(20,140);
window.open();

RFC connection from SAP R/3 to OS400 server

Hi,
I am trying to establish an rfc connection between an R/3 system and OS400 server.
I dont have much experience on communication interfaces i have seen different options in SAPRFC.ini file but still i wanted to get some expert comments from the experts.
Please help me on this.
Thanks
Junaid.

Hi,
We had the same scenario here also. You can call .NET code from ABAP program using SAP .Net connector.
The data can be downloaded to SQL server based on periodic job wise (every Half an hour or 1 Hour) .
1. Write an ABAP report to get new personnal numbers from HR master tables based on created date.
2. Create a RFC to pass employees details.
3. You can create a proxy in .NET server stub code based on the above RFC.
4. Write code to get data .NET object and establise a connection to SQL server.
5. Write code to push data into SQL server tables.
6. After you complete the .NET code, when you generate this code will create an exe file.
7. You have to execute that exe with few command line arguments.
8. The command line arguments need to setup in RFC destination (SM59).
9. In that ABAP report call this RFC with RFC destination as you defined.
.NET code can be done by .NET person.
Let me know if you have any clarifications.
Thanks & Regards,
Govind.

RFC Connection From SAP to Iseries server

Hi,
I wish you can help me wtih this issue.
We are running ECC 6.0 on iseries v5r3m0.
We are trying to connect to an other non-SAP V5r1M0 system. We are using OSS note 146624 for this purpose.
Our first problem is that we cannot copy pgm files to a V5R1 system from V5R3 system. This can be solved with manual extraction kernel.
However our problem is that we are getting an "SQL Error 0" short dump when we start abap report. What ever the entry in DBCON table is we get this short dump.
Did anyone configured RFC connection to a non-SAP Iseries system? What methos should we use?
Best Regards

Hello Volker,
it is some time ago, you posted the original message here. I have a follow on question and I hope you can help.
Apart from the redbook I can't find any documentation about rfc with iseries and that gives some examples but no real explanation about what you are supost to do
I followed the rfc example "ILE RPG evoked from ABAP" and I can get it to work, as long as I ask for only one parameter from the ABAP.
Do you know how to get multiple parameters from ABAP? Just repeating the RfcGetData with different parameters doesn't work. The ABAP will cancel with "no data to receive" on the second parameter.
Also do you know how to create a rfc-trace for these requests?
Best Regards.

RFC connection from SAP Data services to SAP ECC

We have data services set up in linux machine. I am trying to set up RFC connection between data services and SAP ECC.
From data management console after creating RFC connection i am getting "RFC_bad_connection" error message. Username , password, system number, hostname and client is working from SAP GUI and has all the authorizations. SAP gateway and service is name is correct.
Did anyone had similar issue and what was the solution. Do we have start the RFC connection from linux data services machine, i didn't see any sh executable to do so.
Thanks in advance for helping to solve the RFC connection issue.

I am new to SAP and we have just started work on Data Services.
I wanted to know the complete procedure as in how can I establish a connection between Data Services and ECC.
Thanks for your help and time.

this generates spool in SP01. Ideally it should generate a PDF spool file but it generates a BIN file of Format G_RAW. When I display the spool it displays all kinds of japanese characters which does not make sense,.
I setup printer ISJB with device type JPPDF (PDF converted for Japanese characters). Does any one know where the problem could be? Why I could not print the Spool in PDF?
Thank you,

Why can't I print to PDF from other document types when I'm on a wireless connection?

Example: When I'm on a wireless connection and attempt to print a Powerpoint file to PDF, the document remains in the Adobe Acrobat PDF printer queue in a status of "Error..Printing". I do not have this issue when I'm on a wired internet connection. My only option when converting documents to PDF while on wireless is to select "Save As" and save as a .pdf file type. This option does not maintain all of the formatting of the original file, so my preference is to print to pdf.

Interesting. What happens if you open Acrobat and select:
Acrobat 9: File > Create PDF > From File
Acrobat 11: File > Create > PDF from File

Create Spool from Internal table & converrt the spool to PDF

Hi All,
My requirement is take data from a table and find amount specific to each Vendors . So I took all the data into ITAB and do all the calculation. Later after calculation I have to create a spool from this ITAB and this spool have to convert to PDF. Later this PDF have to seend via email.
To convert the internal table to Spool , I used
LOOP AT t_summ INTO wa_summ.
    w-amount = wa_summ-remittanceamount.
    CONCATENATE wa_summ-vendorcode
                wa_summ-controlnum
                w-amount INTO wa_textdata SEPARATED BY space.
    APPEND wa_textdata TO t_textdata.
ENDLOOP.
DESCRIBE TABLE t_textdata .
w-file_length = syst-tfill * 1022.
l_doctype = 'LIST'.
l_layout = 'X_POSTSCRIPT'.
CONCATENATE ' Listbill Summary Report for' syst-datum INTO

l_receiver = syst-uname.

Hi Nikhil,

Get PDF data from RFC and send in email.

Hello,
I need to get PO spool PDF from R/3 server into SRM server and send email from SRM.
Code for sending PDF in email is working fine if executed from R/3 .But in SRM server PDF
in email is not opening in SOST transaction. Its showing error "Adobe reader cannot open document because either its not a supported file type or the file has ben damaged(for example,it was sent as an email attachment and wasnt correctly decoded).
Is this due to some server specific settings? Any help is appreciated!

Hi Kanchan,
If the generated PDF file is opened properly in R/3 & not in SRM, then it should be a version issue.
Please check for any relevant note wrt SRM/PDF.
Best regards,
Prashant

Printing SFP ADOBE generated pdf from spool.

I am trying to print ADOBE PDF file to HP Designjet Z5400 plotter. It successfully writes a pdf file to the spool. When I either release that spool file to print or have the print job set to print immediately I get a spool error - unable to read format G_RAW l_rc =128. However I can print the pdf from preview. It is NOT an issue with the printer printing the pdf file as I can do this. My issue is that I cannot print directly to the printer via the SAP spooler. I have entered incident to SAP with specific example of my program that produces the pdf spool file. I am directed to read notes that imply I have ADS problem which is ridiculous as I have plenty of SFP generated pdf files printing to HP and Canon laser printers. Again i am trying to print a very large label 2 X2 foot to HP Designjet Z5400 plotter directly via spool. My task is to direct label to different printers based upon MATNR field.
I would appreciate response from only people who have printed SPF ADOBE pdf to plotters.
The pdf that was created file size 5.7 KB.
SPAD settings
Device Type HPGL HPGL : Bus.Graphics: HP/GL plotter Device Class Standard printer
Model HP Designjet Z5400
Host Spool Access Method G G: Frontend print with control technologie

new component SAPPDFPRINT, interactive forms can be printed on any Windows printer just like all of the other spool requests with the SAPWIN device types.
Refer to SAP notes:
1444342 - Device type-independent printing of ADS forms
968394 - Forms Printing from spool and from Preview PDF differ
1630403 - Mass printing of Adobe documents
