XML ZEBRA

I have a number of requirements to create ZEBRA labels generated from Oracle. I have a ZEBRA printer that IS XML enabled and ready, but I cannot figure out how to run an Oracle report .RDF and send the output to the printer. I am not familiar with ZPL so I purchased Zebra’s ZebraDesigner for XML, but I don’t understand how that is used with Oracle reports. I created a template using BI Publisher, the program runs and completes successfully, but I do not get any output. Is there anyone out there doing this today? Thanks in advance.

when you make Oracle report .RDF, you can set the system parameters of the report for desformat (printer), desname (name), desformat, destype, ....
and you can set what you need

XML Publisher - Zebra ZPL-based can receive XML output

Recently announced, Zebra offers direct communication capabitilies between ZPL Zebra printer and Oracle XML publisher.
How is this solution different from the Zebra XML enabled printer solution which is already in WMS?

Previously, thermal printers could only communicate directly with Oracle XML Publisher using open source drivers, which led to slower printing and reduced productivity.
...with direct communication capability between Zebra thermal printers and Oracle applications using Oracle XML Publisher, Zebra customers can fully realize the power of Oracle's publishing solution.

Increase print rate, print speed zebra printer (zpl)

Hello,
first I start with release info:
SAP system N22 (only ABAP system), which calls Adobe Form processing
Windows 2008 SP1
Oracle 11
SAP ECC 6.0
SAPKB70103
SAPKH60403
SAP ADS system AD0 (only Java system):
Windows 2003 SP2
Oracle 10
SAP Netweaver 7.0 Java with Enhancement Package 1
Versioninformation given by report FP_PDF_TEST_00: 802.20090618120017.572641
We use a ordinary Zebra printer with internal print server (ZM400-200E-0100T).
In N22 there is an output device defined with device type "AZPL203 : ZPL203 for pdf documents only".
Printing works but print speed/rate is always lowest (2 Inch/s) and I find no SAP-way changing it. (Why SAP does not give maxmimum speed in zpl?)
Lowest speed in ZPL-code is represented by ^PRA . I find this string:
- in spool files on N22 (example: SPOOL0000014926_00001.zpl)
- in xdc file on AD0: E:\usr\sap\AD0\SYS\global\AdobeDocumentServices\lib\zpl203.xdc, line: "<seq id="startDoc">XA
PRALH0,3
XZ
</seq>"
Changing the string in that file does not work. Creating a complete new output device in N22 with new xdc file zzpl203.xdc does not work too.
Another way of changing print speed is described in the documentation "SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe, customizing Printing Workflows, (SAP NetWeaver 7.0 SPS13 or higher), Document Version 2.0 - August 2007". In chapter 4.3 "Changing the print speed setting" is described a job profile named ZPLSettings.xml, which should be used. In that file I do not find printRate.
Who can help?
Kind Regards

Hi Ale,
You dont need a Zebra bar one tool for printing graphics from smartforms. You need to have propers drivers and proper settings in place. Take a look at the OSS notes 750772 - Information on the ZPL-II printer driver for SmartForms
Check the point 5 in the above oss notes:
5) Support of bitmap graphics
Colored bitmap graphics from SmartForms are changed to black and white when you print from the LZPL printer driver. If the picture quality is affected by this conversion, change the graphic to B/W with a graphics program (such as PaintShop Pro), and import it to SmartForms as as a black and white graphic. Monochrome graphics are not converted by the driver. However, all graphics may be justified to adjust the size of the graphic to the printer resolution (203, 300 or 600 dpi).
During the import to SmartForms, you have the option to flag a bitmap as "resident". In this case, the LZPL printer driver saves the graphic in the RAM of the printer when it first occurs (Device "R:" of the zebra printer). At the end of the spool request, the driver deletes the graphic again from the printer's RAM, so that no more memory remains occupied.
Resident graphics during label printing from SmartForms are therefore only faster if more than one label is printed within a spool request, and the resident graphic is repeated on each label.
I hope this info helps.

XML Publisher for Barcode Labels?

Is anyone using XML Publisher to print barcode labels (not barcodes on letter or A4-sized report pages)?
If YES, do you have any tips or a brief description of how you did this?

Hi Eric
WE have a customer working toward going live ... Im trying to get some details down about how they did it for a blog article. Until then basically:
1. Create a label template in MSWord, create customer page size to match your barcode lable paper. Use the barcode font in the template.
2. Get your data source, if you use WMS then they already pump XML out for labels. Otherwise you'll have to use another method to get the data ... as its a small amount plsql would suffice
3. Deploy template and barcode font to mid tier
4. At runtime XMLP will generate PDF ... and heres where (for now) you have to jump through some hoops. The customer we are working with uses label printers from Zebra ... they do not have the XML enabled printers so we need to get the output into ZPL for the printer. So heres the hoops, using the PASTA print driver in Apps or the XMMLP del manager outside you can call something like GScript to convert from PDF to PS, then Zebra have and open source driver to go from PS to ZPL. Its not actually ZPL but their image format, I forget the name. This is then pumped to the printer ... not the best solution but its good enough for the customers requirments for now.
I'll try and put some meat on this soon.

Zebra Printer Settings Change

I'm printing a label using XML Publisher and CUPS to a Zebra 6MPlus printer. For some reason the 'Print Mode' setting on the printer gets changed from 'TEAR OFF' to 'CUTTER' causing a problem when trying to tear off the labels. The default on the Zebra printer is 'TEAR OFF', and the properties on the printer are also 'TEAR OFF'. Any ideas on how or why this is happening?

Hi BigRedEO,
Thank you for posting on the forums. This seems more like a printer issue as it is not retaining the settings.
Kindly try updating the drivers for the printer and check.
Thanks,
Vikrantt Singh

WMS - XML conver to ZPL

Dear all,
Anyone has experience converting xml to zpl for printing in non xml-enabled printer.
ZPL=Zebra Print Language
Regards
Quah

WMF and ZPL solution depends on XML enabled Zebra printers. Customers who have those printers from Zebra don't need to use XML Publisher.
If customers need a solution with non-XML enabled Zebra printers, we recommend the CUPS solution.
We plan to provide PDF to ZPL filter to remove this CUPS dependency, but we haven't set the release date for this feature yet.

XML Quote report

We have a problem with our XML Quote report that cuts off the report at 26 pages when it should go to about 200 pages.
We have another report the Acknowledge Quote and it works fine.

Finally we found the solution for this problem.
1. Open qotSCocPrint.jsp and add below line inside <SELECT id="qotOutFrmt" name="qotOutFrmt"> statement. This line should be added after "for" loop.
<OPTION value="EXCEL">Excel Format</option>
We can add as many options the XML Publisher supports.
2. Decompile oracle.apps.aso.print.webui.MainCO.class (Controller).
Change the below line
httpservletresponse.setContentType("application/pdf");
to
httpservletresponse.setContentType("application/"+quoteOutputFormat.toLowerCase());
Take a backup of the original file, compile the java in the same directory.
3. Decompile oracle.apps.aso.print.server.PrintQuoteAMImpl.class and change this line
Field field = class2.getDeclaredField("OUTPUT_TYPE_PDF");
to
String outputFormat="OUTPUT_TYPE"+as[12].trim();
Field field = class2.getDeclaredField(outputFormat);
Bounce Apache and generate the Quote output in desired format.

Issue in Creation of XML file from ABAP data

Hi,

Iu2019m using the call transformation to convert ABAP data to XML file.
So please anybody can help how to define XML structure in transaction XSLT_TOOL.
And one more thing, here I need to put the condition to display the Header 3, Header 4, Header 5 values. If there is no record for a particular line item in header 3, 4 & 5, I donu2019t want to display full line items; this is only for Header 3, 4 & 5.
Please help me in this to get it resolved.

Hello,
you can use CALL TRANSFORMATION id, which will create a exact "print" of the ABAP data into the XML.
If you need to change the structure of XML, you can alter your ABAP structure to match the requirements.
Of course you can create your own XSLT but that is not that easy to describe and nobody will do that for you around here. If you would like to start with XSLT, you´d better start the search.

Rendering xml-table into logical filename in SAP R/3

Hi,
I am trying to translate an xml-table with bytes into a logical filepath in SAP R3.
Do I have to use the method gui-download or shall I loop the internal xml-table?
When I tried to loop the xml-table into a structure, and then transfering the structure into the logical filename, I get problems with the line breaks in my xml-file. How do I get the lines to break exactly the same as I wrote them in my ABAP-code?

Momento de envio do XML

Boa tarde,
Estou em um projeto de implementação e com a seguinte dúvida:
Requerimentos:
Tenho que enviar o XML assim que a Invoice+NF é gerada (VF01/VF04, etc).
Num segundo momento, após a aprovação do XML, eu poderei imprimir a DANFe.
Envio XML:
Sei que a função que mapeia o XML para a versão 2.0 é a J_1B_NF_MAP_TO_XML e a função que envia para o GRC ou outra mensageria (utilizaremos NeoGrid) é a J_1B_NFE_XML_OUT.
A pergunta é: como faço a chamada destas funções? Qual programa devo chamar? Em qual momento? É por customizing ou por uma exit no faturamento?
Obs.: entendo que estas funções já estão configuradas no monitor J1BNFE para solicitar o reenvio da nota, etc.
Impressão DANFe:
Em paralelo, na J1BJ vou ter que configurar somente o programa de impressão do DANFe (J_1BNFPR), correto? Pois assim quando eu gerar e processar o output da NAST ele irá fazer a impressão do documento, correto?
Caso não entendam as perguntas por favor me contestem que eu explico melhor.
Obrigado!
Felipe Brasil Simioni

Olá, Fernando.
Por favor veja se pode nos ajudar.
Estamos tendo o mesmo problema com o envio do XML para a mensageria (não GRC).
Seguindo as parametrizações indicadas acima:
SPRO
   Componentes válidos para várias aplicações
     Funções gerais de aplicação
       Nota Fiscal

           Atribuir parametros de numeração e dxed impressão
O local de negócios está configurado como RFC CALL vazio (segue descrição abaixo):
"Execução RFC e atualização banco dados na mesma LUW (padrão)"
Porém, ao tentar enviar a nota fiscal (ex: J1B1N), ocorre um erro na SM58 e o XML não é enviado para o sistema de mensageria.
Analisando o programa SAPLJ_1B_NFE, no include LJ_1B_NFEF42, vemos que para mensagerias não GRC o programa chama a função J_1B_NFE_XML_OUT em background task, o que ocasiona o erro abaixo na SM58.

Obs: se comentarmos a linha IN BACKGROUND TASK, tudo funciona perfeitamente.
Mas obviamente não é o que queremos fazer. Queremos manter o programa original da SAP.
Já pesquisamos notas para esse problema, mas não encontramos nada que se refira a esse problema.
Alguém mais se deparou com essa situação?
Desde já agradeço pela ajuda.

Generate prov.xml for Creative Cloud. Return Code 27

We're trying to follow this guide (Creative Cloud Help | Using Adobe Provisioning Toolkit Enterprise Edition) to serialize a package (or something). We're stuck on generating prov.xml. My best attempt at an entry is:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE\PDApp\CCP\utilities\APTEE>adobe_prtk.exe --tool=VolumeSerialize --generate --serial=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx --regsuppress=ss --eulasuppress --locales=en_US --provfilepath=C:\Program Fil
es (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE\PDApp\CCP
It says half of this is optional, but I'm skeptical.
Anyway, I'm getting return code 27. This indicates that it is unable to edit the prov.xml file specified. I didn't specify a prov.xml file, I'm trying to make one. The syntax I'm using differs from what I found on the page I linked, as that was giving me syntax errors. I lifted this off someone else's code. I've tried just about every variation I can think of. Any help would be appreciated.

Generate xml source file for Oracle Order Capture Print Quote

Hi,
I am new to xml and need to work on creating templates for Print Quote.
I am trying to generate the xml source file for which I enabled the report in system administrator and set the output to XML and assigned to Quoting Reports responsiblity. I then assigned XML Report Publisher to the same responsiblity.
I ran the report (Print Quote) and then I am trying to run the XML Report Publisher but I cannot get the request id in the list of values.
I am able to generate xml source file for other reports like Printed Purchase Order etc.,
The view output for the (Print Quote) report is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
- 
<ASOPQTER />
How do I get the xml source file? Or are there seeded templates that I can use to create more templates? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Ravi

Hi, I am in the same position - did this issue ever ger resolved by anyone. I have done a few XMLP reports successfully now using the Word add-in, but customising the Quote output differs from other standard reports.
If you look at the data definition for Quote it is a 'dummy' definition and has no XML file attached. Does anyone know how I can get the XML format for the report output?
Also the template uses XSL-FO ?!?!?! rather than RTF - not sure how to work with this, the Oracle docs are not very helpful in this regard either.
Has anyone successfully managed to customise the Quote print report? Many thanks,
Roger

Using a SQL data source and XML data source in the same template

I am trying to develop a template for the Request for Quote report generated in Apps 11.5.10. I have loaded the data from the XML output into the template, but I am missing one field - I need the org_id from the po_headers table. Is it possible to use a sql data source (i.e., "select org_id from po_headers_all where po_header_id = [insert header_id from xml data]...") in addition to the xml data source to populate the template at runtime? When you use the Insert > SQL functionality is it static at the time the template is created, or does it call to the database at runtime? I've looked through all the docs I could find, but this isn't clear.
Thanks for any help or suggestions you may have.
Rhonda

Hi Pablo
Thats a tough one ... if you go custom with a data template you will at least get support on the data template functionality ie you have a problem when you try and build one. You will not get support on the query inside the data template as you might have gotten with the Oracle Report, well you could at least log a bug against development for a bad query.
Eventually that Oracle Report will be converted by development anyway, theres an R12 project going on right now to switch the shipped OReports to data templates. AT this point you'll be fully supported again but:
1. You have to have R12 and
2. You'll need to wait for the patch
On reflection, if you are confident enough in the query then Oracle will support you on its implementation within a data template. Going forward you may be able to swap out your DT and out in the Oracle one without too much effort.
