Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: orarrp creates a file instead of printing when spooled to printer connected to a print svr
os: win2k
network : tcp
oracle db version: 817
ias version:9ias rel1
no error messages pops.
The Forms application calls a Report and specifies that it should be output
to file with the
applicable Orarrp extension.
2. The Report runs and places the output on the Web server where it will be
visible to the user.
3. The Form monitors the progress of the Report, and, when it is complete,
issues a
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT() call to direct the user’s browser to the generated
output file.
4. The Web server recognizes the output file’s extension as being of MIME
type “application/xorarrp”
and streams the data to the browser with that MIME type.
5. The browser recognizes the “application/x-orarrp” mime type and invokes
the orarrp.exe
program to handle it.
6. Orarrp.exe detects the type of output (e.g., Postscript/PCL, Acrobat,
etc.) and either invokes the
correct helper application to print, or displays its own printer selection
dialog to the user.
7. The document prints!
ORARRP FILE EXTENSIONS
For Orarrp to work correctly, the output from Reports must be saved to a
file with the correct file
extension (rrpt (text file) ,rrpa (pdf file) ,and rrph (html)). Orarrp.exe
uses the file extension on the browser client to determine how to print the
file.
