XML report Duplex Printing

How to print XML report pdf output print both side on paper?

I'd like you to make sure that you are using CR version 12.2.3.456. To get to this version, you need to apply SP 2:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009038092009E/cr2008win_sp2.exe
and then FP2.3:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100015892592009E/cr2008v1_sp2fp23.exe
Let me know if that helps.

Xml report to print AR invoices to multiple companies

Hi,
can anyone help me to work on this issue, I need to Develop one XMLP report that prints AR invoices for multiple companies, and multiple invoices for each company.
It will be thankful, if anyone help me to come out of this issue. I need it urgently
Thanks

Hi
Are you working in EBusiness Suite or another ERP app? IF so then there are already invoice reports built out of the box that you can use quite quickly.
If not then you need to find out from your users what they want to see on the invoice, then map that to the columns in tables and then write the query to extract the data.

To remove the spacing in top and bottom of XML report while printing

Hi,
I have developed the RTF template having page size(Page Setup->Page Size) as Custom Size(Width:19" and height:9.01").When I try to run the report thorugh the APPS,there is lot of spacing included at top and bottom of the page.This is mainly due to printer page size as A4.
Due to the report layout,I cannot change to A4 which will make the report layout clumsy.
Is there any kind of apps page setup to be done which will relate pagesize CUSTOM to A4.
Please advise
Regards,

Hi
Are you saying that once the document is printed ou get the space? If you run to PDF and view it with Reader then the paper size is correct?
If so then you need to set up a prt file to specify the custom paper size. I suspect you are pushing it thru a regular A4 driver and its being resized for the paper.
Writing print files is a little bit of an art form but check out the 'SysAdmin guide and the pasta guide for some further help.

How do you set the Crystal Report Viewer Printer to Duplex

Using the code below I can print in duplex mode, but this does not let me view a report before printing
How do I set the Printer in the Viewer Control Bar of the Crystal Report Viewer to Duplex Printing programmatically rather than having to manually select Duplex through the preferences option?
I have searched but the only example code I found produces errors in the code and will not run
Private myReport As ReportDocument
myReport = New ReportDocument()
myReport.PrintOptions.PaperSize = PaperSize.PaperA4
myReport.PrintOptions.PaperOrientation = PaperOrientation.Portrait
myReport.PrintOptions.PrinterDuplex = PrinterDuplex. Vertical
myReport.PrintToPrinter(3, False, 0, 0)
In my VB6 Project that I am converting to VB.NET when I added Report.PrinterDuplex = crPRDPVertical, this allowed me to view the report and then print with Duplex without having to set the Print Preferences manualy
I found 1386475 - How to set printer name and print job title at runtime using Report Application Server SDK for Visual Studio .NET
But this causes errors

Printing parameter values in xml report, and displaying it in header of the

Hi All,
Can anybody give me an idea to print the parameter values in the xml report.
My requirement is like, I have 10 parameters in report builder, I have generated the xml file and created the .rtf template and finally registerted in oracle apps. But now, the requirement is to print the parameter values in the report output.I don't see any xml tags in the xml output.
Any suggestion will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I think all the XML attributes can contain lexicals. If you bring up the property palette against the report object you can just set the following:
XML Tag Attributes: myParameter="&<P_1>"
where P_1 is your user parameter.

Barcode printing in XML report PDF output

Hi All,
I want to print barcode of invoice number / purchase order number in the XML report PDF output.
Anyone please suggest me with your ideas and experience.

Hi Bogdan,
The steps mentioned in the doc is what i did in order.
I couldn't understand the step # 13 & 14.
Log in as XML Publisher Administrator
Navigate to Administration --> Font Files --> Create Font File
Available fields are Font Name and File
--> for Font Name, choose any descriptive name
--> file will browse your PC to locate the font file
Navigate to Font Mappings -->Create Font Mapping Set
Mapping name is the name you will give to a set of fonts.
Mapping code is the internal name you will give to this set
Type: 'PDF Form' for PDF templates. 'FO to PDF' for all other template types.
Create Font Mapping (this allows you to add fonts to a set)
Font Family is the exact same name you see in MS Word under Font. If you don't use the same name the font will not be picked up at runtime.
Style and weight must also match how you use the font in the RTF or PDF layout template. Normal and Normal are good defaults.
Language and Territory should remain blank (NULL) unless you have a strong business reason, as these fields can cause the font not to be picked up at runtime.
Navigate to Configuration General -> FO Processing -->Font Mapping Set. This can also be done at Data Definition and Template level, via the corresponding Edit Configuration button on those pages. The hierarchy is Site-> Data Def -> Template.
Select your new mapping set.
Make sure the font is not referenced under File --> Properties --> Custom in the RTF template file.
Under General, set a Temporary Directory. The font will be stored under a /fonts directory at runtime, initially created the first time the font is used.
Upload a template that uses your special font and test using preview or by submitting a concurrent request.

How to print multiple footers for each page in RTF template xml report.

Hi,
How to print multiple footers for each page in RTF template xml report.
i am able to print ( two sets ) ...
up to last page ( one template ) and for last page ( another template).
i want to change the footer information based on the group value printed in the report ( it might be 5 to 6) In every report run.. can you please check and let me know do we have any feasibility to achieve this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
KAP.

You can remove all other logic, like last page only contents (start@last-page:body), etc and section breaks if any you have inserted manually.
Just have for-each@section logic.
It would be difficult for me to guess what you have done without looking at your RTF or describing here.

How to print XML report in French Language?

Hi,
I need to print XML report in French language, currently it display in English language.
I have used following steps:
1. I enabled French language on my oracle apps instance.
2. Created the concurrent program with output type as XML
3. Created Data Definition using XML Publisher Responsibility
4. Created template. At the time of creation of templete, enabled Translatable check box and click Apply
5. Once template is uploaded, you will find two buttons. Export Translation and Upload Translation.
6. Clickd on Export Translation. XLF file opened.
7. In XLF file - e. g. source-language="en-US" target-language="fr-FR".Source is English and fr is for French language and FR is territory.
8. Update the target fields in French language. In the below example source field is in English language and target is in French language. This indicates that wherever the Invoice Date is present in RTF template it will be
replaced by the target field in french language.
<source>Invoice Date:</source>
<target>Date de facture:</target>
9. Updated the same for all fields and finally import the updated translation file.
10. But When i run report , output display in English not in French.
Please any one can help, what should in do next to print in French Language.
Thanks,
Sunil Mane

Duplex Printing in Reports 3.0

I am trying to print a report on both sides of the paper, using Reports 3.0. I have no problem doing this with Reports 2.5. The printer properties have been set properly, so it must be the report. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. thanx
Some details: (I'm not sure which, if any, are relevant)
- "Logical Horizontal Panels" property of report = 2
- "Panel Print Order" property of report = "Across/Down" ("Down/Across" makes no difference)
- "Print on both sides" in printer properties is set to "Flip on long edge"

Printing XML report (with report.xsl stylesheet) shows font colors, but not table highlight colors

I am trying to print the XML report generated by TestStand to a PDF in order to archive it. When the XML report is rendered in Internet Explorer, everything looks fine -- Sequence names are highlighted in teal, Pass is in green, Fail is highlighted in red.
However, when I print this page to a PDF (using BullZip PDF printer, or even the XPS printer), all of the table highlighting is gone. The UUT Result in the header is red or green font color depending on the pass/fail state, but sequence names and any formatting applied to tables within the body of the report have no highlighting.
Is the stylesheet altering what is rendered when the XML file is printed?
This is the output when viewed in IE
This is the output when viewed as a PDF printed from the same file viewed in IE.
Thank you,
Matt
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hey Matt,
This is actually because of a default setting in Internet Explorer to not print background colors on webpages. To change it, simply go to the Page Setup screen (on IE9, you click the gear icon, then Print > Page Setup) and select the option to print background images and colors. After doing this, the printed report should contain the colors you see on your screen.

Please let me know how to resolve the issue?.

Hi Hussien,

Both BI publisher based custom like PO/Invoice/Cheque Print & seeded reports like "Active users/responsibilites" are being generated successfuly in pdf output. when copied to desktop and printed it prints properly. But when trying to direct output to printer from concurrent request it is printng junk.
I checked pasta configuration, all required ghostscripts tools are on the AIX box, am I missing anything in R12?

Duplex printing in reporting services

I have been working on this problem for days. I have a report that is grouped
and will be printed duplex (front and back). There is a page break after each
group. I want to ensure that the start of a new group does not end up printed
on the back side of an old group. For example:
Page 1 (printed on front side of paper): group 1
Page 2 (printed on back side of paper): more group 1
Page 3 (printed on front side of paper): more group 1
Page 4 (printed on on back side of paper): group 2 <--- This is a problem
I need:
Page 1 (front side): group 1
Page 2 (back side): more group 1
Page 3 (front side): more group 1
Page 4 (back side): <This Page Intentionally Left Blank>
Page 5 (front side): group 2
Issues that I've run into include the fact that SSRS renders the entire body
first, before rendering the header/footer. This prevents the body of the
report from knowing which page it will end up on when it is rendered (and is
also why you cannot reference Globals!PageNumber from the body).
The restriction above also prevents using a variable in custom code to know
when to generate a page break. If you set this variable in the header/footer
then the body will never see it as the entire body is rendered first and will
therefore only see the initial state of the variable.
I have seen this issue posted in a number of places,
but no one ever has a solution to this (except switching back to
Crystal Reports). Have any MVPs ever addressed this issue? I am
really hoping someone can offer a good solution or work-around.

Duplex Printing in Crystal Reports

Post Author: Razzle00
CA Forum: General
Where can I get some information or sample code on how to duplex print with crystal reports?
Thanks,
Razzle

Post Author: senglee
CA Forum: General
Here was how I did it using vb.net and crystal reports.
1. In the report, create a seperate detail section to hold your second page. Crystal will see it as Details a & b. In section a, set the new page after property. This will cause the second page (details b) to print on a seperate page.
2. Ok. The next step is to programmically tell your printer to print in duplex. Study the code below and modify it to suite your needs.
               ' Declare an object of your report.                Dim objReportObject As New rptTheDailySavings
                'Declare a printoptions object of the objReportObjects print option. Set the settings.                Dim PrintOptions As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.PrintOptions = objReportObject.PrintOptions                PrintOptions.PrinterName = "Your Printer Name Here"                PrintOptions.PaperOrientation = CrystalDecisions.Shared.PaperOrientation.DefaultPaperOrientation                PrintOptions.PaperSize = CrystalDecisions.Shared.PaperSize.DefaultPaperSize                PrintOptions.PrinterDuplex = CrystalDecisions.Shared.PrinterDuplex.Default                PrintOptions.PaperSource = CrystalDecisions.Shared.PaperSource.Auto
                ' Send the report to the printer.                objReportObject.PrintToPrinter(1, False, 1, 2)
Hope this helps.
