What version are you on? There are fairly simple ways to do this in BSP's or even now if your are on ECC6, using ABAP Webdynpros are very easy.

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.

Job salary form in ESS/MSS portal help needed

We are facing some issues with the Job Salary Change form and need some help on these.
The following are the issues.
The JS form should route for the approval to the approver as on Effective Date provided on the form.
The Workflow Rules were changed accordingly to fetch the Effective date from the form and fetch the approver based on the date. But the form is not following the approver as on the Effective Date, but it is going to the approver as on SY-DATUM.The adobe form is configured in HRASR_DT transaction and is using the standard service SAP_PA.The Effective date from the form is not flowing correctly from the form to the workflow.Hence the workflow chooses the SY_DATUM as default date.
Thanks,

Hi,
Not sure what a KRA, but it looks like appraisal in the second word, so that would be phap_admin, F8 to get the result list, and then in the menu somewhere is unlock appraisal documents.
if KRA is completely not appraisal relevant ignore this

Debugging Workflow in ESS/MSS module .

Hi,
I know the stpes to debugging simple workflow and trouble shooting the same, but now
I want to know the debuggibg workflow steps for workflow running with ESS/MSS module Framework,
The scenario is
Its actually Approving Forms in ESS/MSS module, The Employee applying medical leave from his Id, then it will go to first level approver inbox once he approve it goes to second level approver inbox once he approves then it will go to third level approver inbox and he is the final level approvel once he approve the proces will be done.
The problem is, After the second level approver approves the form its updating wrong third level approver so its not comming to third level approver inbox. The workflow is designed under Z class but I dont have update cone in Z class methods.
The updation part is comming under standard ess/mss framework code.
So please tell me the steps how i can debugg or execute worklow in background for all the steps,
like from first step I like pass the container to second steps and goes on.
Help really appreciated.
Thanks & Regards
James.

Hi James
In ESS/MSS leave request the employee will apply the leave from portal and the workflow will triggered based on the spro which workflow template is used. Has you said that updation my custom cone. What is meant by that. Has as has i know we need to update the infotype 2001. This can be done by std FM.
To degbug.
In the put a external break point of the std FM which screen it call. I hope its called the webdypro java screen which nothing but a std FM. You need to find that FM. Then put a external breakpoint. change the user name from goto menu. Once you approve button is clicked in the portal. The debugger will open.

Hi, SDN Expert.
I am working on research the use of Adobe Interactive Forms in the current processes of HCM ESS MSS.
We are on ECC5.0, EP7.0, and ESS MSS SP21. We are in the midst of upgrading to ECC6.0.
Do you know where Web Dynpro Java version of Adobe Forms are used in ESS MSS are used? OR are they all in Web DYnpro ABAP version in ECC6.0?
Thanks,

Adobe form not working after MSS Patch Upgrade

Hi,
We have implemented ESS/MSS and in one of the MSS scenario to create a new personnel chnage request we have an Adobe interactive form (WD) which actually validates the users Social Security number by calling an RFC in the ECC 6.0 and updates the form's filed on the front end. There was an issue of "Expired SSO Ticket" and to resolve this SAP recommended to apply SAP_JTECHS (SAPJTECHS13P_14-10003467) and SAP_JTECHF (SAPJTECHF13P_15-10003468) patches to fix the problem. But after applying these patches Adobe form for PCR has stopped working and it just gets hanged, form appears on the front end and when user enters the values and hit enter to validate, it doesnt communicate with the Backend ECC system only the SAP status picture keeps rotating, i turned the trace ON and checked it, its not at all communicating with the ECC system. Where as in other systems where we have not appplied the pacthes, those are working fine. One of the error i noticed in the server log is as below:
jco.client.mysapsso2=AjExMDAgAA5wb3J0YWw6QkNPTFNUT4gAE2Jhc2ljYXV0aGVudGljYXRpb24BAAdCQ09MU1RPAgADMDAwAwADU1BEBAAMMjAwODExMDMxNjU3BQAEAAAAEAoAB0JDT0xTVE//AQUwggEBBgkqhkiG9w0BBwKggfMwgfACAQExCzAJBgUrDgMCGgUAMAsGCSqGSIb3DQEHATGB0DCBzQIBATAiMB0xDDAKBgNVBAMTA1NQRDENMAsGA1UECxMESjJFRQIBADAJBgUrDgMCGgUAoF0wGAYJKoZIhvcNAQkDMQsGCSqGSIb3DQEHATAcBgkqhkiG9w0BCQUxDxcNMDgxMTAzMTY1NzQwWjAjBgkqhkiG9w0BCQQxFgQUfD7V7TS!58cgzIFyucxCSL4ltuswCQYHKoZIzjgEAwQvMC0CFA4Q0!Rr2xYFPwFwXz8WeFF1UALlAhUAmHiTdHw!3s4Q!Jc9gDyY4QSvxa4=, user=, mshost=sapdv2.company.com, r3name=DV2, jco.client.type=B, jco.client.trace=0, group=SRS, codepage=1100}

Can someone please suggest what could be the possible reason for such a problem with Adobe form and whats the way out to resolve this. Appreciate a quick help in this regard.
Thanks in advance,
Sarabjeet.

Hi,
We had the same issue after the Patch update to SP17 in both Backend as well in Portal, to resolve my colleagues had a look at the standard forms which were working and found that because of the patch update the script used in the custom forms was changed and not the standard and
on event trigger which was processed in the container they replace the script to the standard one. and it started working.
But this is not the solution we are looking at solution on having the same version of script as in the standard even after the patch update.
So to your point to resolve compare the scripts in both standard and customized forms and do the same.
And also have a look at the SAP Note: 1109392
.... this is a temporary solution.....
Hope this helps.
Cheers-
Pramod

Any help is greatly appreciated and rewarded.

One good one to mention.....Adobe interactive Forms via HCM Processes and Forms is THE replacement for PCRs.....even says so in the documentation. Soooo....
You will also see them in Appraisals now as well as a big part of E-Recruiting, Travel and Expense, etc.

Information required about ESS MSS forms

Please let me know following points:-
1.As per my understanding HCM Processes and Forms ( Hiring, Transfer ,Maternity leave ,Termination ) needs
Hr administrator Role it not present in portal box so please let me know if we need it?.
2.It belongs to ESS/MSS Package or it is a seprate business package?.
3.If possible kindly let me know complete Iview names for above mentioned forms.
Please let me know about it.

Laxmikant,
The forms should be available with if you install the EA-HR component in ECC and there is BP for HR Admin which contains the iViews like Start Process etc.
You can find the package :- Click to goto [SAP Portal Content Portfolio|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/contentportfolio] --> Business Packages for Specialists --> Business Package for HR Administrator (mySAP ERP)
And documentation regarding it is available [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005/helpdata/en/98/32e842cd990121e10000000a155106/frameset.htm]
Once you this, you will need Adobe License (check note : 736902) and need to configure ADS if you plan to create new forms.
