Hi All,

we are using StreamServe to print our BaanIVc3 reports. This works fine for paper prints and email but I'm trying to print from StreamServe to the local pc running the Baan client. This should be possible if you have the ip number (or dns name) of the pc.
Does anybody know how I can retrieve the connection/socket info between the Baan (hpux) server and the pc running BW from the server side ?
The result would be a file containing the Baan report and the conenction info which will be send to SS.

thanks,

Walter Grimm

In Baan V there is a command to get the PC name, but no such luck in Baan IV.

In Baan IV, what we have done in the past is to manually get this from the PC. The process is described in this link:

Read to the bottom, not pretty but workable.

I worked around the problem.

In Streamserve create a PDF file and do a server2client of the file to the client followed by appstart of the pdf file. This allowed us to avoid installing the Streamserve viewer (Acrobat Reader is installed on every pc by default in this situation).

Vamsi,

we have StreamServe running on a Win2003 server while Baan is on HPUX.
Did you print the PDF from SS back to the Baan server or are you running
the SS comm.server on Unix ?
How could I 'server2client' the file from the Win2003 server ?
