If a document is to be output with a SAP transaction, e.g. 'cv03n', the print button or the DVS Plot GUI, an output job is generated in the background. This output job exists until it is deleted explicitly.

Solution:

1. Start the transaction /DVSREPRO/ZRPR.
2. Start the search mask with the icon 'field glass'.
3. Restrain the seach accordingly, e.g. output mode, user data or document data.
4. Execute the search with the help of F8.
5. Mark in the hit list one or more jobs and transfer them to the working list.
6. Douple click the output job in the working list.
   

Tip:

With the icon you can go to the document list of the output job.

How can I create a retour stand (return installation)?

Solution:

If you want to generate a retour stand, create a tar.gz file in the SEAL Shell directly in the PLSROOT directory while PLOSSYS/DPF is stopped.
If you don't want to stop PLOSSYS/DPF or exclude a data directory, execute the following commands:

1) Create a file 'tar-excludefiles.txt' in the ROOT (=Home) directory.
    Example file already attached to this article

----

Example of the content (example also in attached file):

data/installlog
data/io
data/log
data/p2p
data/plotclnt
data/plotserv
data/sysstat
data/tmp
data/unicfg
data/webportal

---

Attention for PLOSSYS: If you want to exclude the PLOSSYS data directory, you have to save the printer status file (PLSROOT\data\plotserv\sysstate.stat) separately.

2.) Generate a compressed tar file (tar.gz file)

With the following tar command you can create a backup system in a SEAL Shell. All directories specified in the tar-excludefiles.txt, are omitted.

The file: c:\temp\plossys-retour_06-12-31.txt contains a journal of all packed files. This journal is helpful to check the suceess while unpacking the tar file.

Attention:

Never forget the '.' ahead of the '>'!
Problems while packing the tar file ('unexpected end of file') may occur, if the tar file resides in the directory tree, which has to be packed. Therefor create the file in a different directory, e.g. c:\temp.

Windows System:

1. home
2. tar --exclude-from tar-excludefiles.txt -cvf c:\temp\plossys-retour_06-12-31.tar . > c:\temp\plossys-retour_06-12-31.txt
3. gzip c:\temp\plossys-retour_06-12-31.tar

UNIX System:

1. cd
2. tar --exclude-from tar-excludefiles.txt -zcvf ../plossys-retour_06-12-31.tar.gz . > ../plossys-retour_06-12-31.txt

Miscellaneous:

Please remember to "close" the CD/DVD after burning. Multisession CD/DVDs cannnot be read by every drive, if the session has not been closed.

Solution:
The following alternatives are available in order to allow the administrative access to the PostgrSQl database on UNIX/Linux platforms:

1. Installation of pgAdmin on a Windows Server in the Network

Follow these instructions:

• Download the pgadmin3.tar.gz file from the attached archive and unpack it, for example via winzip.
• Start pgAdmin via <installation path>\bin_winnt5\pgadmin3\pgAdmin3.exe.
• Create a new connection to the database on the UNIX/Linux server via the 'File -> Add Server' menu.
  
• Establish the new connection like shown in the screenshot. Use the 'pgstatus' command in the SEAL Shell on the UNIX/Linux server to identify the server name and port. The plsadmin user has no password.
  

2. Usage of the Command Line Interface:

The PostgreSQL command line program psql is delivered. Use the 'db' alias in order to start the pgclient.pl perl script. There, the correct connection information is read from the PLOSSYS configuration.

PDF files, which have been created by older tools from SEAL Systems, may have compatibility problems concerning the displaying via Acrobat Reader 9.
This becomes noticeable in the erronueous displaying of certain text lines (esp. passages and headlines in bold). These look like horizontally cropped.

Affected Products and Versions:
1. SEAL Systems Application Converters, which have been suplied up to the middle of 2004.
2. ConvertWIZ version 1, which has been supplied up to and including 2006.

Solution:
1. Use Acrobat version 8 or previous versions.
2. Correct the PDF files with a free tool from SEAL Systems. The download is in the attachment of this article (see 'SEAL Font Patch.msi' and 'dotnetfx.exe' in the attachment). In order to install it copy both files into the same directory and execute 'SEAL Font Patch.msi'. After the installation the user manual is available in the start menu and the program group SEAL Systems => SEAL Font Patch.

3. If your documents are saved in a SAP archive, we can provide project-specific solutions. Please contact SEAL Systems. Keyword: XSA and DPF Correction Workflow.

Background:
For the creation of the PDF files a Windows PostScript driver template by Microsoft has been used. This has now turned out to be erroneous. The definition of the font box for certain fonts two parameters have been interchanged. Previous versions of Acrobat ignored this error, thus there have not been any noticeable problems up to now.
