Running the T4/T4A Cancellation PDF

Run the T4/T4A Cancellation PDF concurrent programs to cancel the most recent original or amended employee T4/T4A slips. This program uses XML Publisher to create the Cancellation PDFs. The printed T4/T4A Cancellation slips are marked Cancelled Annule.

Note: The T4/T4A Cancellation PDF concurrent programs must be run to view the slips online.

arrow icon   To configure the T4 Cancellation PDF:

Set Action Parameters Print File (Print_files) and Run XML Publisher for Report Generation (RUN_XDO) to N (No) and perform the following steps to configure the T4 Cancellation PDF generation behavior:

  1. Edit the $XDO_TOP/resource/xdo.cfg configuration file.

    If this file doesn't exist, you can create it.

    This file has the following format:

    <config version="1.0.0" xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/oxp/config/">
    <properties>
    <property name="system-temp-dir">temporary_directory</property>
    <property name="printer_name.pdf-stream-divider-max-output-size">
        file_size_in_bytes</property>
    <property name="pdf-stream-divider-max-output-size">
        file_size_in_bytes</property>
    </properties>
    </config>
  2. Replace temporary_directory with the directory where the concurrent program creates temporary files.

    You can set it to one of the utl_file_dir directories.

  3. Replace printer_name with the name of a printer that supports PDF printing.

  4. Replace the first file_size_in_bytes with the file size the selected printer can manage.

  5. Replace the second file_size_in_bytes with the default file size.

    The T4 Cancellation PDF concurrent program uses this value if it cannot find the first file_size_in_bytes. If you leave the second file_size_in_bytes parameter empty, the default is 1MB.

Use the T4 Cancellation PDF concurrent program to generate PDF files for printing.

When running this report as a secure user, you are only able to view the employee details that you have access to through your security profile.

  1. Select T4 Cancellation PDF in the Name field.

  2. Click in the Parameters field if the Parameters window does not automatically open.

  3. Select the Reporting Year and the GRE Archived by Year End Preprocess for the T4 slip.
