Unable to open printer definition file

hi,
I am getting this message when running a report from
forms
The report called dbgpletw.rdf is using a defn file of "uniwide.prt" but is giving the error message
Rep 1804 unable to open printer definition file "dbgpletw.rdf"
I copied the report to test.rdf and ran it but comes up with message
Rep 1804 unable to open printer definition file "test.rdf"
Any ideas why the report thinks the defn file is what
the report is called ??
Thanks
Ian

Thanks for replying,
I have given up trying to get the report to run via the
reports server route to output a file using a .prt file.
Since report ran fine under Reports Builder, i decided to look at for an equivalent to the "run reports" under 2.5 and found rwrun.exe.
I ran this manually and to my suprise(?), my report ran and produced the required output. I incorporated the code into my forms application and now run host('rwrun report_name with parameters') and am now getting the output file as required.
If you want any more info, please send me a reply
Thanks for your interest
Ian

Please help me solve--REP 1804 unable to open printer definition file 'dflt

Kindly help me solve this error.Im a novice and trying to generate a report but this error REP 1804 unable to open printer definition file 'dflt' comes up...

Good morning,
Reports is trying to open the default printer defined on the system. Are you running this in Report Designer? or is it running on the Report Server. If you are running in Report Designer on your own PC, check the default printer on your system. If you are running on the Report Server, check the default printer defined on the server.

I am going to customize the standard report 'Printed Purchase Order Report', the rdf file is 'POXPRPOP'. but it is not getting any out put and xml tags also. even standard report also not getting any output and I noticed in logfile that the error like 'REP-0004 warning: Unable to open user preferance files'.
I have tested in backend, its getting the data. then I have added command MO_GLOBAL.SET_POLICY_CONTEXT('S'.org_id) in before report trigger also. but getting same issue.
Could you please help me wheather I need do any setups/modifications in RDF or Application. This is very urgency.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Hussein,
Thank you for your valuable response.
I have followed the same steps for this customization what they are given in the metalink ID 374165.1.
And one more thing, I am not getting any output if i ran the standard program 'Printed Purchase Order Report (Portrait)' in R12. what it could be the problem.

Error message: "Unable to open the physical file" when trying to attach AdventureWorks database

I have searched the internet and this forum and have not found an answer...
I am trying to install the AdventureWorks database into my single instance of MS SQL Server Express 2005. I am logged into my machine as an administrator and logged into SQL Server 2005 express 'sa'. I attempt to run the following script:
exec sp_attach_db @dbname = N'AdventureWorks',
@filename1 = N'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\AdventureWorks_Data.mdf',
@filename2 = N'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\AdventureWorks_log.ldf'
The error message I get back is:
Msg 5120, Level 16, State 101, Line 1
Unable to open the physical file "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\AdventureWorks_Data.mdf". Operating system error 5: "5(Access is denied.)".
The folder "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data" and all the files in it are read-write. I am 100.0000% certain the files "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\AdventureWorks_Data.mdf" and "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\AdventureWorks_Log.ldf" exist! They are the result of running the installation program AdventureWorksDB.msi, which I downloaded from: http://www.codeplex.com/MSFTDBProdSamples/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=4004.
What do I have to do to install the AdventureWorkds database????

Hello,
To try to help you, please, could you give some more informations ?
- the operating system (XP/Vista), the edition ( Pro/Home...) and the service pack
- usually, the installer installs the both files in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Sql Server\Samples. Is there any change in the location or have you moved the both files ?
- could you check with the files explorer , that the 2 files are read-write and not read only( find one file, right-click on it, properties and in the 1st tabpage, you should see a checkbox read-only ( if checked , unchecke it ) ?
- have you Sql Server Management Studio Express Edition ( at least SP1 ) ?
If no, download it and use it to attach
in the object explorer,
click on your instance to expand it
right click on databases
in the contextual menu, click on attach
in the new form,click on add
you arrive on a second form : find your file , click on it, and OK
it's the simplest way to attach ( the sp_-attach_db is complicated to type )
the error messages are sometimes more clear in SSMSEE than in Sqlcmd
Try also to attach ( thru SSMSEE or Sqlcmd but in using the windows authentification )
NB: i hope that you are not trying to attach AdventureWorks on a remote instance and on a remote computer ( it would explain access denied )
We are waiting for your feedback to try to help you more efficiently
Have a nice day

can anyone pls help how to set the db offline. currently i stopped the sql server services from services.msc and started the sql server agent.
should i stop both services for moving from one drive to another?
note: I tried teh below solution but this didint work:
ALTER DATABASE <DBName> SET OFFLINE WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE
Update:
now am getting the message :
Msg 15010, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_detach_db, Line 40

First you should have checked the database mdf/ldf name and location by using the command
Use CMP_143
Go
Sp_helpfile
Looks like your database CMP_143 was successfully detached but mdf/ldf location or name was different that is why it did not get copied to target location.
Database is already detached that’s why db offline failed
Msg 15010, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_detach_db, Line 40
The database 'CMP_143' does not exist. Supply a valid database name. To see available databases, use sys.databases.
EXEC @RC = sp_attach_db @DBName, @DESTData, @DESTLog
Attached step is failing as there is no mdf file
Msg 5120, Level 16, State 101, Line 1
Unable to open the physical file "D:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\CMP_143.mdf". Operating system error 2: "2(The system cannot find the file specified.)"
Solution:
Search for the physical files(mdf/ldf) in the OS and copy to target location and the re-run sp_attach_db with right location and name of mdf/ldf.

Unable to open the XML files in Nakisa

Hi Gurus,
We are unable to open certain XML files in Nakisa. They show up as encrypted in the notepad or fail to open using the XML Marker. The files in question are
AppResources.xml
LoginConfiguration_SAP_Standard
LoginConfiguration_Anonymous
Purpose: We want to enable the SSO with the portal . We have checked the radio button but nakisa does not recognize the SSO ticket from the portal (Any folder in Nakisa where we need to place the Portal ticket?)
Also we want Nakisa to show the org chart for the logged in user. Luke had mentioned that some changes need to be made in the AppResources.xml (hope i correctly remember this) and we were looking to make these changes (rather try out.. any pointers please..?)
Thanks and Regards,
Arun E V

Hi Arun,
These files are encrypted. If your organisation is a partner with Nakisa you can obtain the decrypter from them.
Portal SSO works without any configuration directly in the XML files. If you are getting an error stating that the Portal ticket cannot be interpreted then your configuration is not correct. In your URL iView you need to ensure the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) is used for the application URL. In the Administrator Console you need to ensure you enter the system details (Host, Sys Nr and Client) for the backend system which holds your SSO ticket for that Portal. You need to use FQDN here too.
There is additional security configuration that can be done in the XML files but SSO will still work with just the Administrator Console configuration.
I hope that helps!
Luke

According to your User Agent you posted this question using Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 8.1. Are you having a problem with Firefox? What Firefox version?
You said you are having a problem opening PDF files on your system. Can you explain that better? Mozilla Support can help you with opening PDF files in Firefox, which uses a built-in PDF reader. Maybe one of these articles will help?

Unable to open printer (read failure)! mac lion

I downloaded the new Lion software recently and since doing so I have not been able to print. When I print to my Canon MX700 it come up with :Unable to open printer (read failure)!
I have reset as I found thru other posts, downloaded th current driver/software info from the printer website and connected the mac book pro directly to the usb port versus thru my airport which has worked great for many years. What is it with this new lion software and printing??

I, too am having problems printing after updating to 10.6.8. I have a wireless HP D110 that works fine but lost connectivity to my Epson Stylus Pro7600. I used to get an error message or that plotter is busy, so I followed instructions to remove printer and reinstall...Now my iMac can't find the driver even though I've reinstalled it. Anyone out there have any luck?
