Issue with HCM Forms

Hi
We are implementing HCM Forms and Process. We have landscape EP7 SP18 and ECC6 with HR600.
We have done all the Adobe configuration, credential. All the test are successful on portal and R/3.
But we are not able to see adobe form on portal,when we select process (standard/custom) it ends with dump ie
'Connection Time out' / pdfobjectruntimeexception: Failed to updatedatainpdf
Please give your inputs if you have faced this issue. Also can I use upgraded packages in portal (WD Abap applications);let me know the versions for both HRAdmin and ECC HR.
Thanks in advance.

Issue with Adobe Form Layout

Hi,
I have an issue with the Adobe Form Layout.Although I have added a field in the Context Menu of the Form Builder but the context has not been added to the Data View.
Could you please help me to understand how to include the parameters and structures that we define in the context and add them to the Data View in layout?As far as I know, it is done automatically.But in this case I don't understand what the problem is.
Please help me.
Thanks,
Sandeep.

Edited by: Alvaro Tejada Galindo on Jul 14, 2009 4:10 PM

it is normally done automatically. Do ANY of your fields show in your DATA VIEW? Or, are you just missing the new one?
If you're only missing the new one, make sure your Context has the field defined correctly and generated.. Then make sure you have updated the mapping in your View Context and generated that.
After those 2 things, your field should now show.
You cannot, as far as I know, define an attribute as any sort of TABLE - we have a common structure that has several Table Types in it. When we import that structure, we have to delete those attributes and create Nodes to mimick those tables.
If you've accidentally included a Table type as an attribute, you won't see any fields in your Data View.
EDIT: by the way, there's an Adobe Interactive Forms Forum where you should ask these kinds of questions.

Any known issues with HCM 9.2.006 PUM image?

I am facing issue with the HCM 9.2 Demo image. It tries to create the virtual disks. When its creating the 4th disk, it hangs after creating about 10GB.
Is there any workaround for this issue or re-downloading will help? I have downloaded it a week back.
Regards,
Balaji P.

Your title has a question that I'll answer below. (Then you describe an issue that I'm not sure is impacted by either of these issues.)
One is unique to OVM and occurs when there are more than 4 disks. The default mode is PVM and that only supports 4 disks. So it is necessary to edit the VM to use PVM drivers AND SAVE, since PVM will support more than 4 disks. (I believe this was documented in the installation notes.) Note: if you simply view the configuration ***but do not save it with the PVM selected***, you loose the 5th disk. Recover by re-importing the template.
The second issue is related to the swap volume. There was a bug where the swap was attempted to be mounted by label and the label was incorrect, hence no swap. That is fixed in bug 18546213. The fix is to mount SWAP-VM as the swap volume in /etc/fstab.

Data Integration issue with Adobe form

Hi,
We have been using many xACF forms in our WebDynpro java based application.
For one of the xACF adobe form sometimes I'm not getting the data from adobe form to webdynpro context.
Anyone can pls tell what may be the problem other then binding because that part i have already checked and it's working fine in some of the PC.
Regards
Ravindra Singh

Hi Chintan,
thanks for your reply.
I tried that part already by converting xACF form to ZCI but facing issues with the drop-downs.
Actually some of the dropdowns have values more than 1000. The value help for these drop downs comes as pop up in case of ZCI forms and the mazer problem is that in offline scenario doesn't even shows values for such dropdowns as a pop up or normal drop down.
As per the SAP Note 1013227 we are using the enumerated type of drop downs for such larger values but no help in offline scenario. I tried by changing the parameter value in visual admin as suggested in sap note which prevents pop-up for lager values but it's not recommended by SAP. Only because of this issue we are not able to migrate from xACF to ZCI.
Do you have any idea how to get values for such drop downs in offline scenario.
Thanks & Regards
Ravindra Singh

2 Formatting issues with HTML forms

I have a couple of issues that we can't seem to get past with adobe livecycle designer 7.0. We have an internal form, rendered in HTML, that is emailed between departments, and the data entered is stored in an XML file that is created using the code similar to the following:
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response) throws
ServletException, IOException
oOutput = response.getOutputStream();
try {
FormServerWithXML fsb = new FormServerWithXML();
fsb.processForm(request);
File file = File.createTempFile("Form_", ".tmp", new
File("d:\\xmlFiles"));
BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(file));
out.write(fsb.getXMLString());
out.close();
When we use a numeric field and try to format it with any display pattern containing dollar signs, decimals, etc... the xml data for that field isn't being written to the xml file. All of the other fields are being written properly.
The next issue we're having is that with HTML forms, when we create a multiline text field we are unable to limit the number of characters that are allowed in the field.
I'm pretty new with this, so please send some advice my way if you have any.
Thanks,
Chad

PHP mail issues with Muse Forms

I've been trying to findout why my forms are not being sent from my Muse forms. I have spoken with Adobe through the forums and they tell me it's an issue with my Hosting, I've soken with my Hosting, and they said it's an issue with Adobe Muse forms. The bottom line is, I'm in the middle, with forms still not sending.
The latest information I have had back from my Hosting company - UKFast:
EMAIL 1:
Regarding your issue: I'm able to see from the logs on the server that the mail service is up and running and listening for mail connections. Furthermore, I have placed a simple PHP mailer script in /root/testmail.php which sends a quick test message to my mailbox here at UKFast.
I can see that when sending a message through this script, the message passes through your server correctly and is successfully delivered to my mailbox. Here's an example from the logs:
2013-06-27 10:49:35 cwd=/root 3 args: /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i
2013-06-27 10:49:35 1Us8pb-0001RE-LQ <= [email protected] U=root P=local S=437 T="Test mail" for [email protected]
2013-06-27 10:49:35 cwd=/var/spool/exim 3 args: /usr/sbin/exim -Mc 1Us8pb-0001RE-LQ
2013-06-27 10:49:55 1Us8pb-0001RE-LQ => <my email> R=lookuphost T=remote_smtp H=mx02.filter.magicmail.co.uk [81.201.128.59]
2013-06-27 10:49:55 1Us8pb-0001RE-LQ Completed
To better advise of the cause to your issue, would you be able to provide some accurate time and dates for messages that you have tried to send. With that information, I should be able to pinpoint the message sending attempts in the logs and hopefully unearth the underlying issue stopping the mail going through for you.
EMAIL 2:
I have just tested your script for you and it seems the form does not push to the mailqueue as it should.
We have managed to establish that Mail is working on the server and PHP can push to it, as per Joe's previous response, thus this is looking like an issue with the code of the page.
Can someone from Adobe please respond to this, UKFast are saying it's not them, and to be honest, I did run your PHP server test on my server and it scored 3 ticks, all working. So whats going on? I neeed the form function, can someone make it work, or tell me whats needed on my server to make it work.

I am facing same issue. Even my host provider could not help me. All my inputs are corrent.
Some php specialist told me, you have to write smtp details in php. I am using muse because I do not know any coding.
What is SQL configuration and how to fix this form issue. Expection some guidence from Muse experts...

Issue with Adobe forms in HCM P&F

Hi Friends,
We are using HCM Processes and Forms with Workflow. When the Manager starts the processes from MSS by opening the Adobe form we are getting 3 scroll bars. For this we applied the note 1143512. Even After applying this note the Manager gets 3 scroll bars but when the HR Administrator starts any process he can see only 2 scroll bars. What could be the issue. Is there anywhere we need to pass the Initiator?
Also after applying that note the size of the Adobe form became small. we tried changing the HRAS_PROCESS iView Height Type to FULL_PAGE. Still its not working. Please advice if there is any note available for this.
Rgds,

This has been answered in this forum many times and I believe someone (Brian?) posted a blog about it. PLEASE SEARCH.
As for what you are seeing....for MSS/ESS, the "form app" is actually running INSIDE another "window"....that's why it is smaller than when an HR Admin runs it.
Also, for the Adobe size fix, make sure you user params are set correctly.
Please search and find the blog about the 3 scrollbars....that will help you.

Issue with External Form Repost in Testing Environment

Please help!
We are attempting to add an Eloqua repost to our webform on https://www.2checkout.com/signup. We are a payment processor and therefore, our customer admin area, of which this page is a part, must maintain various compliance standards. With this in mind, we are testing the repost in our test environment, which sits on https://va.test.2checkout.com. I've double-checked and our eloqua tracking scripts are picking up these pages.
When we run the repost, the line of code to get the GUID -
elqQ.push(['elqGetCustomerGUID']);
is erroring. I've attached a screenshot.
For reference, we're using the code illustrated in Thomas Reyto's Topliner's post: http://topliners.eloqua.com/community/do_it/blog/2012/04/17/how-to-repost-an-externally-hosted-form-to-eloqua.
Any assistance in determining the issue would be most appreciated! As mentioned, we really want to get this working in the test environment before we push it live, as it could break our sign up process otherwise.
Thank you Topliners!

Date Format Issue with Interactive Form

Hi, here is the scenario:
-We just upgraded to SP17 from SP15
-I'm using Livecycle Designer 8.0
When we were on SP15, this was not an issue. I was wondering if anyone encountered this problem and if so, if there is a workaround?
I create an interactive form to start a guided procedure process. Im passing the data from my desktop Interactive form to another callable object in GP to send an email with the PDF attached. This all works correclty.
My date/time fields are set to type DATE with a display pattern of YYYY-MM-DD. When I create the form in the GP administrator to my desktop and open the PDF, the date format is correct. However, when I submit the form to start the process, the incomming date fields to be mapped to my second Callable Object have change in format from "2009-02-18" to "Wed Feb 18 00:00:00 EST 2009".
This is true in the new form I receive via email, and also in NWA->monitoring->guided procedures when I check the instances. The input mapping is already set to the false formatting.
When I open the form from the second callable object with the incorrect date format (in designer), the date's display patterns are set to YYYY-MM-DD but are not being displayed as such.
New discovery....I tried to create a Business Logic callable object and format the date. I created a string input and date output and mapped them accordingly. When I perform a "TEST" from the design time and use the input "Wed Feb 18 00:00:00 EST 2009", the string is automatically converted to 18/02/2009 in the output, which is what I want to occur. The only problem is when I run the actual process, the same "Wed Feb 18 00:00:00 EST 2009" is being output instead of the 18/02/2009 in the TEST.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.

Production issue with Smart Form

Hi ,
Issue is:
Data getting poplutated in Dev system but not getting in Production system.
we are using standard FM CRM_OUTPUT_SINGLE_READ
which contains FM SSF_FIELD_LIST to which our smartform name is passed.
FM SSF_FIELD_LIST returns all the global definition fields of the smart form.
It has a statement
import fields to fieldlist
         from database stxfcontr(sf) id l_fullname.
Now in Dev system we get all the required values but in Production system it doesnt show any value.
Also in table stxfcontr i can see two values for my Form
Entries from Development System :
SF    ZCLSDXT_YI01_PRINT                                   0 1815
SF    ZCLSDXT_YI01_PRINT                      X            0 1830
Entries from Production system:
SF    ZCLSDXT_YI01_PRINT                      X            0 1584
I think problem is with IMPORT statement which is inside the FM SSF_FIELD_LIST ...
Is it has to do with ABAP memory or something like that? or something i need to do in FORM ..but since in dev system same FORM is getting value why i am not getting in Prodc.'
Please help...
If anyone can help me why it is not populating the fields?
Regards,
Mayank

hI Vishnu,
yes its been transported properly..
even when i execute this FM SSF_FIELD_LIST by passing my FORM name it doesnt displays the Global defined fileds in production but in Dev same FM displays all the fields.
Any idea how this table STXFCONTR gets entry in it..
I am working on Solution Manager system....
Regards,
Mayank

Issue with Custom Form opening in Oracle apps

Hello,
I am not sure if this is correct place for this question.
Hi,
I have created a custom form and tested in forms 6i. I have moved the fmb and fmx files from my local machine to unix box and registered the form in oracle apps (11.5.10).
However, when I open the form from oracle apps, form opens OK but some of the field in form are blacked out-I am able to see the field but its black in color. When I type in field and highlight it with my mouse, the value I typed shows up.
What can be issue here?
I moved both fmb and fmx from my local machine to UNIX box.
Please help...

NV,
Have you resolved your issue? I've run into this before. I failed to subclass all of my objects properly from the APPSTAND.fmb in accordance with the [Oracle Applications Developers Guide | http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25516_18/current/acrobat/115devg.pdf]. If you have your items subclassed correctly, double check to make sure your Forms Builder is using the correct color pallet.
Hope this helps.

Bizarre CFIF issue with dynamic form variables? Very strange...

          <td width="40%" bgcolor="##F7F7F7" class="basemodelsub">     #form['baseconfig#reviewconfigloader.basemodelID#']# #reviewconfigloader.basemodelName# #reviewconfigloader.basemodelSubName#</td>

        </tr></cfoutput></cfif></cfloop>
      </table>
What I'm doing here is fairly basic.I'm running a query with a number of configs in it...and then creating a loop to output them. Ultimately, I only want the configurations that didnt have 0 submitted in the form on the previous page. Each one of the configs in the config query has a dynamic form variable on the previous page with a quantity tied to it. I am trying to eliminate all quantities past that aren't 0 (or not eliminate, just not show)...as you can see from the cfif statement.
Here's where it gets weird. You'll notice I output #form['baseconfig#reviewconfigloader.basemodelID#']#, just for testing, which shows me the quantity as it should. I ran a test and put in a couple of 1s, 0s, 12s, 6s, etc in the form fields on the previous page. If this thing worked, it wouldnt show anything for any of the records with their basemodelID value being submitted as 0. Not the case. It shows all records. What is more hilarious is that it outputs perfectly in my test #form['baseconfig#reviewconfigloader.basemodelID#']#, showing the correct numbers entered in the previous form, the 1s, the 0s, etc, tied to each record. But for whatever reason, the cfif code isn't catching it.
What's even more bizarre...I replaced the cfif ("form.baseconfig#reviewconfigloader.basemodelID#") NEQ 0 with GT 12 (12 was the highest number that I put in the form) and it still showed all records. Then I put it in as LT 12 and it showed nothing. I decided to take it one step further and put it in for GT 1231243242343 (random massive number), which it still showed all of the records. So somehow, my CFIF statement thinks that ("form.baseconfig#reviewconfigloader.basemodelID#") is a incredibly large number, although when I output it in the row below, it is the number it should be.
I'm stumped. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!!

Hey Dan...thanks....unfortunately...with the cfif testing, thats kinda what I'm
doing because I dont have an "expected" value. My expected value is anything a user inputs thats greater than zero, hence NEQ 0 and NEQ "". The real problem is taht what I'm outputting works and what the cfif clause is seeing is obviously very different.
As far as your comment about looping out the variables and then setting a query equal to the value in a cfquery, remember...these are form objects and therefore nothing can be tied back to the database. The result from the code is establishing a form variable (example.... form.basemodel1 (if 1 was the basemodelID from the database query) so it can capture whatever data the user has passed from the previous page in a text input. So that input could have been 23, it could have been 1053.
So really the only way to do it is create a query and loop out the variables.... and attach them to form objects (basemodel1, basemodel2, basemodel3 etc where the 1,2 and 3 are the unique ID's for those models in the database), and then look for where those form objects may have been filled in in the previous page by stating IF this form object not equal to 0 or "", output the data.
Does that make sense? Thanks for the help guys I'm completely stumped by this. I've done this a million times with CFIF and I'm really struggling with why this isnt working....

Issues with 1099 form layout for 'IDWTCERT_US_1099MISC1'

Hi All
I applied OSS note 1535966 a week ago & we tried to print the 1099 MISC report. When I use the 'Form 2' option, I am facing 2 issues.
1. When the vendor master has PO box number, the PO box number overlays on the 'Street address' field. I have opened a OSS note with SAP to help us. SAP asked me to apply version 3 of OSS note 1535966 but that did not help. Not sure if anyone else faced this same issue.
2. The right side of the form 'IDWTCERT_US_1099MISC1' seems to be cut off by a centimetre. I did read in some of the forums that this was fixed by OSS note 1546868 but we run ECC 6.0 & when I applied 1546868, it messed up the amount fields in box number 7. So we cannot use this new OSS note. But if I print this form using PDF creator, it looks perfect. I then assumed that I will need to use BASIS help to fix my printer but someone else had already tried this & it did not work for them.
Smartforms layout printing diffrent in diffrent printer
But someone else (Kenneth Goldstein) says he fixed this issue in the following thread with OSS note 1546868.
USA 1099 Misc - Unable to print forms.
So I am not sure how to fix this issue. can someone help?
If anyone faced similar issues & have a solution, please let me know. If you are still having this issue, let us hope someone here in the forum/SAP is able to help.
Thanks
Regards
Morgan

Hi Chanh
I have not come upto the level of testing the file generated with IRS. Will keep you posted what happens there.
Shannon,
Apparently the new version of 1546868 fixes the issue for box number 7. But if the amounts are huge in box numbers 1 or 3 or 15a (they use these in my client) then the amount overflows to the nearby box. So we have again opened an issue again with SAP & will keep you posted withwhat SAP comes up with.
Thanks

Performance issue with Adobe forms

Dear SAP Experts,
We have the following issue/requirement from our client. The client is on SAP ECC 6.0 - production environment.
The client is highlighting performance issue while accessing the adobe forms for HR and FI business process ( both static and interactive ).
                Examples are
    FI – Invoice Approvals
                HR – Job Salary Change
The client is asking us to provide best practices surrounding:
1.       How to improve the performance of the adobe forms while accessing in SAP.
2.       Is there any other technology which we can use in SAP to replace the adobe forms which has better performance factor.
3.       Are there solutions such as webdynpro floor plan manager, UI Fiori which can be alternately used?
Regards,
Sakthi

Hello Priya,
     Adobe forms are easy to develop and much more comfortable than SAP Scripts and Smartforms. Initially they are a bit difficult but once you have your hands on, they are the most simplest things in ABAP.
Performance in Adobe forms is a mix of both fine tuning the Layout as well as back end coding.
Performance in Adobe forms cannot be done overnight. A lot of care has to be taken during the initial stage of development.
As far as my experience is concerned, please consider the below points while developing SAP Adobe forms.
1) Avoid Scripting (Javascript/Formcalc) as much as possible inside the form. It drastically reduces the performance and makes the form to execute slower. If you still want to use scripting(which cannot be avoided for some requirements), use Formcalc since it is comparatively faster than JavaScript.
2) Try to avoid the coding inside the Form Interface. You can always handle the maximum coding in the Driver program and pass it to the form.
3) Use Form Caching.
For forms that have fixed layout, its a good way to increase the performance of form rendering. In the layout, go to Form Properties. Then Click on Defaults tab and select Allow Form Rendering To Be Cached On Server. Then Click OK.
For forms that have flowable or dynamic layout, render the forms on the client side because it improves performance.
Last but not the least, please go through the below post by Otto Gold which is worth a read at least once.
