Calling Adobe form in a Workflow Step for approval

Hello,
   There are some ISR forms and workflows in MSS which use Workflow tasks configured as JavaWebDynpro to call Adobe form from the Workflow Step.
Is it possible to achieve the same using ABAP Web Dynpro and creating a new task and configuring to use it as an ABAP Web Dynpro (which can in turn call the Adobe form from the WD)?
Thanks.

Hi Anjali,
1)You can develop an<b> RFC</b> that collects required basic data from R/3 and display them in <i>ABAP WD - Adobe Form</i>. The End user can change/fill the remaining contents of the Adobe Form and submits it for approval. The <b>RFC</b> again handles the triggering part of the <b>Workflow</b> and passes the form data to the workflow containers.And for approvals, you can use the <i><b>SWFVISU</b></i> to call a <b>ABAP WD</b> application from Workflow. And in turn the control again goes back to RFC and so...
2)I dont have much idea in ECC 60 if there is a similar ABAP WD application like Standard Java WD <b>IsrFormApprove</b>.
3)No idea.

  • Calling the Adobe form in a workflow step for Approval

    Hi All,
    We are creating a PCR scenario using Adobe forms for "Employee seperation". This form will require 7 subsequent approvals from various agents which is to be handled using a workflow.
    I had gone through the ISR cookbook and managed to create a scenario. I have also assigned it to a PDF form and a dummy workflow. Now from my PCR iview i am able to submit the form for my scenario which also triggers the dummy workflow(through the BUS7051-CREATED event).
    Right now this dummy workflow just sends a mail(by sendmail step) to the first approver. Now i want this workflow to send a workitem to the first approver for approval of this form which will have to appear in his UWL. When the approver double clicks on the workitem in UWL he should be able to view the form along with Approve/Reject/Cancel buttons. I am not aware how to do this. My questions are,
    <b>Is this handled by a decision step or an activity?
    If it is an activity step which Task/Business object method is used to handle this?
    If it is a decision step how do we make the Adobe form also to be displayed along with approve/Reject buttons?</b>
    We are using ECC5.0 and EP6.0.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hi Rajasekhar,

  • Use of ADOBE form with SAP workflow for R/3 4.6C

    Hi All,
    We are thinking of usage of ADOBE form feature as one of options to design workflow for creation and maintenance of “Info record” like “Material Master” creation. BTW the existing systems are EP 7.0 with the back end SAP ERP system 4.6 C
    We would like to just check the feasibility of usage of ADOBE interactive form for above scenario. Would it be possible to go ahead with the above concept or what would be pre-requisites or risks involved?
    1.     How would system identify the role to direct the Adobe form for approval in case the form is raised by multi department?
    2.     How can the data validations in ADOBE form happen with reference to SAP std. tables?
    An early reply would be appreciated.
    Rgds,

    Hi,
    If you use EP 70 you can used guided procedure for your requirement .

  • Calling adobe form from webdynpro abap view

    Hi,
    I need some help. The situation is: I have created a Adobe form interface as well as a form using the SFP transaction. Now, I have a webdynpro screen with a button, which upon pressed must give the output of the PDF form.
    I tried the following steps:
    1. Call function 'FP_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'
    2. Call 'FP_JOB_OPEN'
    3. Call the generated function module name
    4. Call FP_JOB_CLOSE.
    The procedure works fine when I use the same code in a report program. It opens a dialog box where there is a option for Print preview and it displays the PDF.
    But when I try to replicate the same, it does not work in Webdynpro for ABAP. Any suggestions as to how to go about this problem?
    regards,
    Praveen Kumar

    Hi Praveen
    there is documentation on the Web Dynpro for ABAP integration of Interactive Forms in the SAP Help Portal at http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/aa/940ee5331b4b8fa0a6cb6714dc5db4/frameset.htm which should answer most of your questions.
    You specify the form to be used during the design of your Web Dynpro application (you are prompted to determine it when you insert the UI element).
    You can save the form from the Reader toolbar, the question would be why would you want to do this and not use a proper download screen.
    A proper tutorial is planned to be available in June. Until then, check the ABAP page in SDN for some e-learning / webinar recording), or directly here: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/media/uuid/c766e918-0b01-0010-99b1-c2b78cd059b3

  • MessageBox on Adobe Form in SAP MSS PCR for SAP ECC 5.0

    Hello,
    I have a question regarding the behavior of Adobe form messagebox in SAP HR MSS PCR (Personal Change Request)
    I tried to test how the messagebox looks like, and so I created a PCR scenario with an Adobe form. This form contains a datetime field. I added the script "xfd.host.messageBox("this is message", "this is title") to the "exit" event of the datetime field. Then I did all the necessary steps so that this PCR is displayed in the Portal.
    Now at the runtime, when I select a date value from the datetime field, the messagebox is displayed, BUT within an empty Adobe Reader page. It is not displayed on the top of my adobe form.
    But the strange thing is that when I use tab key to navigate through the datetime field, the messagebox is displayed on the top of my adobe form, without the empty Adobe Reader page.
    I also tried my script with several different event types, including "Change", and "Validate", it behaves the same way. But when I tried it with the event type "MouseExit", no empty Adobe reader page is shown up at all (of course, this is not the right event type for me)
    The environment is SAP ECC 5.0, SAP MSS business package for ECC 5.0, SAP Portal 7.0 (NW 2004s), Adobe LiveCycle 7.1, and Adobe Reader 8.1.1
    Has anyone experienced this? I'd really appreciate any comments and suggestions. Thanks in advance.
    Best regards,
    Harrison

    Antony,
    The Adobe Reader version is 8.1.1
    Just wondering if you used messageBox in interactive forms with ISR framework, and it worked well for you?
    Thanks.

  • Problem while using an adobe form "Unable to fulfil request for memory"

    Hi Experts,
    When I try to call a Adobe Form from the porta,l the system encounters a problem and the error message is "Unable to fulfil request for 3665920 bytes of memory space.".Could yopu please provide you valuable suggestion to resolve the issue.
    Thanks.
    Arun.

    Hey fellow ADS developer,
    I had this issue once and had hard time to figure out from where it was coming!
    In fact, check the free space on your SAP Server hard disk (or ask admin guys). It might be that there is no more hard disk! Because every time you generate a form, it is stored on your server harddisk. You need to flush all that temp stuff regularly.
    Hope this  helps

  • To call Adobe Form thru WD4A as an print option

    Thanks & Regards

    Hi Yogesh,
       Just to test ... can you place your code in a report and call the report with submit ... return in your module pool? For the data tables in the interface, you may export them and import them.. this will ensure that everything is good with your code and the place where you call the code from. I believe the issue is Module Pool rather than anything else. But that's just a doubt and we need to do this to confirm it.

  • Adobe form output not getting displayed for the whole length of the page

    Hi All,
    I have developed an adobe form using webdynpro application. While testing, the output(pdf) does not occupy the entire page/screen from end-user side. But when I test the same from my side, the output appears fine . Could anyone suggest me on this?
    Regards,
    Allwin.

    Did you check the resolution at end user side? Is it different from your resolution?
    To overcome this check what is the height and width you have specified for InteractiveFormUI element in your Web Dynpro application. Have you specified in pixels like 300px? You need to enter it as 100% for both.

  • Call an RFC as a Workflow step

    Hi,
    I need to integrate inside a workflow (designed via Process Composer) a call to a backend RFC.
    In detail, I need to make a callback to the backend when a process is created to register the successful creation of the process itself.
    So it should be something like this:
    START --> AUTOMATED RFC CALLBACK --> Workflow tasks --> END
    I'm trying adding an EJB and linking it to the workflow with a Mapping Activity, but I'm not sure that I'm doing the right thing.
    I've found a SAP guide that shows how to call an EJB from a workflow with a Mapping Activity but I'm having problems making things work.
    Can someone suggest me if this is the right way to get the things done?
    As a side note:
    I work in a multi-track development environment. Every track has inside a project representing a specific workflow. Could it be possible to have a single EJB, placed in a track, to handle all the callback request from all the workflows from different tracks?
    Thank you,
    Pietro

    Hi,
    a little update...
    I've made the EJB work! This is an excerpt of the code:
    @Stateless
    public class ActivationCallbackBean implements ActivationCallbackLocal {
         // FUNCTION NAMESPACE
         private static final String NAMESPACE_FUNCTION_PARAMETER = "mycompany.com/mctfc_invoice_approve";
         // PARAMETER NAMES
         private static final String P_ID = "ID";
         // PARAMETER LOOKUP NAME
         private static final String NAME_PROPERTY_INPUT_ID = SdoRenamingHelper
         .renameXsdElementToSdoProperty(new QName(
                   NAMESPACE_FUNCTION_PARAMETER, P_ID), false);
         public DataObject invokeSdo(DataObject input, InvocationContext invContext) {
              boolean isBackendCallSuccessful = true;
              Type typeInput = input.getType();
              String id = input.getString(typeInput
                        .getProperty(NAME_PROPERTY_INPUT_ID));
    Now, as I said I have multiple workflows and I'd like to have only one EJB to handle all the calls. In order to do that I've added a special input parameter to discriminate which workflow is the "caller". But I've got a problem. When I define in Process Composer an EJB Function under "Rules and functions" in order to point to the EJB, i got a fixed value for the namespace.
    Since the namespace is mandatory to retrieve the input values in the EJB and the namespace is based on the workflow I'm working with:
    NAMESPACE_FUNCTION_PARAMETER = "mycompany.com/mctfc_invoice_approve";
    (mctfc_invoice_approve is the name of one of the workflows) what can I do to have only one EJB and overcome this limitation? Is this possible?
    Thank you,
    Pietro
