Adobe interactive form in ECC

Hi,
We have a requirement that we need an adobe form on the ECC system as interactive.
1. User put a Transaction code.
2. Adobe interactive form open.
3. User fill all the data on the form.
4. Click on submit button.
5. Sucesssful message there.
Currently , the process is as follows:
1. User put a Transaction code.
2. Adobe interactive form open.
3. Usre Save the form on the desktop.
4. User fill all the data on the form.
5. Click on submit button.
6. Sucesssful message there.
The current process is offline, we want the same online in ECC not by ABAP Webdynpro.
thanks & regards

Hi Naveen,
ECC 5.0 is NW04 - not NW04s so you don't have WDA at all as you should be able to see from e.g. it not appearing in the list of possible programming objects in transaction SE80.
You'd need ECC 6.0.
Double-check your SAP_BASIS release in menu System > Status > Component Information. If it says 6.40 then that's no good... you need to be on 7.00.
You can still use Java WebDynpro with ECC 5.0 of course.

Using Adobe Interactive Forms in ECC

is it possible to leverage existing HR Admin Services (HCM processes and Forms) functionality without using the Enterprise Portal?
1) Create an Adobe form and Interface using SFP
2) Set up ISR and Form Scenario
3) Set up Forms configuration to use existing Backend and generic Services
4) Set up workflow to updated Backend using Services
is it possible to do the above steps and not use the Portal? If Yes, how do we present the forms to the Manager, and provide different buttons that appears on the Portal by default?
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Saurabh

There is an option for this built it. It is in the config for Enhanced Messages->Enhanced Notification. Basically, you can have the work items show up in the approvers email (instead of UWL). The email will have a link which will launch the "Form Applicaiton". However, I have not seen anything that allows you to INITIATE a process without the Start Application doing so in the portal.

Is Adobe Interactive Forms compatible with SAP-PM in ECC 6 ??

Hi experts
My question : is Adobe Interactive Forms compatible with SAP-PM in ECC 6 ??
Thanks

Hello,
I can recommend you to search sap official documents for the standard-SAP-delivered-Adobe-forms and maybe there are some for the PM module. Would that help? Or you´ve learnt Adobe yourself? Regards, Otto

Migrating PCR frontend-JSP forms to Adobe interactive forms-WD Abap Comp

Hi All,
We are currently on Netweaver 7.0 & ECC 6.0 and ESS - MSS Business Package 50.4. We are using JSP Forms on portal front for Personnel Change Requests (PCR's ) where in all the scenarios in the backend are heavily customized with good amount of usage of Javascripts. For certain scenarios, where in a huge amount of information is fetched from ECC 6.0 backend system, JSP are performing really bad and the total time taken to display the form is actually causing a lot of irritation to the end user.
We are planning to propose an upgrade to SAP adobe interactive forms. The prerequisite is that the business wants to reuse all the customized scenarios without any changes and just want to move towards better front end forms.
My questions are:
1. Please list benefits of SAP Adobe interactive forms - ABAP component over JSP forms (performance wise)
2. Issues with SAP Adobe Interactive forms?
3. Since Javascripts do not work in Webdynpro ABAP. How can we implement those front end checks and validations.
3. Any other options available for UI that can be suggested?
All suggestions are welcome. Quick response is appreciated.
Thanks a lot for your time and help.
Best Regards,
Anupama

Is your performance issue with the Javascript with JSP pages? or the Java script you are using within the Adobe form in your WDJ custom application using Adobe form? I have worked on PCR's using ISR framework old school it used to call as PCR and now HCM Processes and form, Developed PCR's using WDJ also integrated workflow with the WDJ PCR for approval(we never had any performance issue) infact ISR frame work was kind of slow compare to custom WDJ solution and less flexible for a developer to develop.
I have also worked created WDA custom application for PCR's , WDA is definitely better when you compare it with WDJ but I have not seen much performance issue with WDJ atleast on custom PCR solutions.
I don't have any case study to share with you, can you please tell what kind of PCR's your client is using and what kind of performance issue you are experiencing and where and why you guys are using Javascript.

GP and WD with Adobe Interactive form question - need some guidance.

Hello experts,
FYI, I'm running ECC 5.0 Support Stack 9, EP 7.0 SPS 11, NWDS 2.0.9_15 with Adobe Livecyle Designer.
I am slightly stuck with what I'm trying to do. I have created a web dynpro application that has an Adobe interactive form. I'm trying to use guided procedures to initiate a process so that this interactive form can be filled out and submitted to an approver. I need the relevant parties to receive a notification email. I have setup email templates and services, I just need to know how it will fit into the process. Once approved in the process, a BAPI should be invoked to populate some fields in the form. Should I be creating the Web Dynpro application to invoke the bapi or should a guided procedure callable object invoke the bapi? I know how to do these things, but I dont know which method I should use, in order to correctly have this process flow from point A - point B. Should the process appear in the Universal Worklist? If not, why not? Will it only appear in the GP runtime? I have pretty much read thru most of the tutorials but still cannot get this GP stuff to work as a WHOLE process.
Any guidance, suggestions, possible solutions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Kunal.

Hi,
It seems you have not activated the Composite Form object. Only after activation you will be able to use it to create a Callable Object of type composite form.
Hope this helps,

Adobe Interactive forms - ABAP Webdynpro or JAVA Webdynpro?

Hi,
I am an ABAPER and I got few requirements for Adobe Interactive forms Offline Scenario/Online scenarios & ALV reports.
I have practiced a session ( How Tou2026execute an RFC model with inputs from Interactive Formswith RFC Module ) -JAVA webdynpro where it interacts with SAP via BAPI.
Now my question is I am bent more towards ABAP.. I want to do this in ABAP but unfortunately I haven't found any similar material for ABAP webdynrpo.Could anyone pls suggest me !
FYI.. We are also developing some ALV Webdynpro reports and I am using PURE ABAP which i like it.
So the other reason is we don't want install NWDI and complicate this structure as we don't have ESS/MSS requirment here. Just we need some forms/reports on portal.
Any suggestions and links which can help me here?

Hi Vara,
You can develop Interactive forms using WD ABAP also.
[E Learning- Interactive Forms using WD ABAP|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/media/uuid/c766e918-0b01-0010-99b1-c2b78cd059b3]
WD Java is useful in case, when your ABAP system is less than ECC 6.0. Otherwise you can achieve same functionalities in WD ABAP also.
Hope this will help you.

ISR with Adobe Interactive Forms: java.io.FileNotFoundException

Dear SDN readers,
I am currently working on an ISR with Adobe Interactive Forms project, and I must say that I find the configuration rather complex, however until now I kept making progress.
Now I've come to the next error given by webdynpro, when testing the scenario from the testbutton in transaction QISRSCENARIO:
java.io.FileNotFoundException:
.\temp\webdynpro\public\sap.com\pcui_gp~isr\webdynpro\
Components\com.sap.pcui_gp.isr.isrprocessevent.showform.
VcISRShowForm\
..\..\sap.com\pcui_gp~isr\IsrForm\
~wd_key18_1135844968237\unknown.pdf
... <i>(some more info)</i> ... (The system cannot find the path specified)
Indeed, this path does not exist on our portal. I assume this has something to do with credential files, but since the ADS is running fine from ABAP I cannot see why.
Has anyone experienced this before, or can someone point me into a direction to look for?
Thanks in advance and best regards, Hans

Found it. The problem occurs on the conbination ECC SP8 and Netweaver 13.
See note 874130, but make sure to read it in German.

Configuration of Adobe Interactive Forms with CE 7.2

Hello all,
We use ALD 8.1 in our ECC ABAP development system and we get the Adobe Interactive Forms services from our SOLMAN (java stack).
We would now like to use ALD 9 which can only be configuered with CE 7.2 (Note 1522483).
We could find the documentation for the configuration of Adobe Document Services in CE 7.2 in the following path:
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce72/helpdata/en/45/bf03b55b9847f2e10000000a114a6b/frameset.htm]
But we could not find the configuation guide for the Interactive Forms part. Does anyone have this documentation?
Do we still have to create the Destination FP_ICF_DATA_SID?
What is the Path Prefix in the ADS RFC from our ABAP system? The old one doesn't seem to work anymore.
Thanks,
Oren Harlap

have to close it! problem unsolved

Authorizations for Adobe Interactive forms

Hi,
During Adobe configuration I encounter serious trouble in determining the needed authorizations. We implement basic Adobe forms initiated by managers.
Can anyone please instruct which SAP ECC roles are needed for executing Adobe Interactive forms?
Situation
We assigned the Adobe roles:
SAP_BC_CM_USER
SAP_ASR_MANAGER
The manager has also assigned authorizations to view PA objects for subordintes.
With extended authorizations I can start new process. However, when the process is started with same user but with the authorization mentioned above I receive the following error:
"No Adobe Form Is Assigned to the Scenario"

Hi Tom,
When you are familiar with authorizations in PFCG trabsaction you are finaliar with S_DEVELOP if not ask the authorization team on your project.
Basically this authorization object handles the read/write etc authorization related to devlopment objects. If you implement Adobe forms you will probably develop your own forms or at least copy the SAP forms to customer namespace.
For Adobe you will therefore have 2 custom development objects (1 for the form and 1 for the interface that is automatically generated). The end-user shoulf have at least READ access to these objects. If not the portal will trow an error on this.
To determine the tech names of the objects find the form and related interface in transaction SFP. These should be inserted in the object S_DEVELOP in the role for the end users.
You may want to consider to put the value Z* in the object which will give authorization for all the custom developed objects.
If you can't find the object reply again and i will send a screenshot.
Finally, make use of the splended transaction ST01!! It will make your life a lot more easy in portal! It traces all the authorizations needed and missing for any user you specify. After activating the trace and running a portal scenario the log will tell you want went OK and what not on an authorization object level.
Good luck,
Thomas

Update values on an Adobe Interactive Form

My question refers to the thread posted back in 2004 which remains unanswered...
Thread: http'How to update values in Adobe form?
With ECC 6.00 (SP10) , assuming that the Webdynpro and Adobe Interactive Forms has been correctly setup, can values on an Adobe Form be updated after retrieval from the back-end database?
Updating of UI elements NOT on the Adobe Form has always worked; but, there it is unclear if the problem to update values inside the Adobe Form has been resolved.
Can anyone address this issue with a detailed explanation or example code?
Best regards,
john

Can you please, open a customer message in the BC-SRV-FP queue and please, provide your landscape component info, i.e., ECC 6.00(SPS10), AS Java SPS?. Please also, provide a WTS connection and information on how to replicate the problem. If it is possible also, upload the webdynpro project in question.
Thanks... George

Adobe interactive forms for VA01

I'm looking for a list of all Adobe interactive forms that are available for ECC Enh4... we are looking to create an adobe template for SAP transaction VA01 (Create Sales Order).
I've looked at table FPLAYOUT but the form names are very cryptic.
Thank you in advance, Rob

Hello Rob,
There is a complete list of all available Adobe interactive forms on SAP's Service Marketplace.
Go to http://service.sap.com/erp -> SAP ERP -> SAP Enhancement Packages for SAP ERP -> Media Library - SAP ERP Overview.
There you will find a PDF named "Adobe Forms for SAP ERP" which contains all the delivered forms for EhP4.
I recommend you save it locally to your computer so that you can search for specific words.
Best,
Anne

Credentials to use adobe interactive form

Hi
I see an OSS note that talks about creating a OSS ticket to SAP requesting them for credentials to use an adobe interactive form.
We are on ECC 5.0 ( WAS 640 ) and intend to generate an adobe interactive form using a combination of adobe livecycle designer ( T.code SFP ) and an ABAP application program that sets the generated pdf property to fillable = 'X'
Question is - is there any extra licensing code required to get this credentials to SAP.
Please reply.

Hi Karthik,
Please refer to the below note for your reference on Interactive form licensing:
eason and Prerequisites
The interactive use of PDF forms may be subject to license under certain circumstances.
Solution
Using the tools and using print forms (not interactive) is part of the license of the relevant SAP solution (including NetWeaver).
If the following three criteria apply to you, you must purchase an additional license from SAP for your SAP Interactive Forms:
You create templates for interactive forms.
You create your own customer-specific interactive form templates or change an interactive form template delivered by SAP by adding further interactive fields or changing the data binding of existing interactive fields to the back-end.
(Such modifications exceed cosmetic changes in form templates delivered by SAP such as adding your own logo or static texts, and are therefore subject to license.)
You use interactive forms in a productive system, that is, end users fill in generated PDF forms during business operations.
Note that the additional license also affects interactive forms used by SAP partners (independent software vendors - ISV), who deliver these forms as part of their products developed on the SAP NetWeaver platform.
Current information about licensing is also available on SAP Service Marketplace at http://service.sap.com/Adobe --> FAQs.
The license for SAP Interactive Forms is an official SAP license. For further details, consult your contact person in your local SAP sales office.
Regards,
Arafat
