Comparison between webdynpro and adobe forms

Hi All,
I want to compare Adobe v/s webdynpro.Can anybody tell me some pros and cons of webdynpro over Adobe?
Thanks.

Hi Shweta,
This is a little bit "chalk and cheese".
WebDypro is an application programming environment with huge functionality which you can use to create any online application.
Adobe forms are a forms based UI which can talk to an application programming environment such as WebDynpro, or a business process environment such as Guided Procedures if it is available, but can also work independently on a PC or laptop without a network connection.
But I assume here you are talking just a WebDynpro "form" i.e. a UI, versus an Adobe form?
Think of it this way:
Adobe forms are a forms specific technology - WebDynpro forms aren't - they are part an application technology
Adobe forms can be used offline and printed with no additional effort - WebDynpro applications are only used online, and print functionality needs to be specifically added (other than printing straight from the Web Browser which really isn't the same thing at all)
Adobe includes a number of features to support offline processing and later upload - such as barcode generation - (you can fully or partially enter data in a form which generates the barcode, then print it and swipe the barcode with a reader), digital signatures, intelligent protection of fields, and offline button features (e.g. to return a form via email) - WebDynpro doesn't do anything offline... of course.
And of course there are different skillsets required to create the forms.
But really the main criteria to decide one vs. the other is:
Do you need offline capability? If you do then its clear the choice is Adobe.
Personally I prefer Adobe also if you are likely to be printing the form.
If everything is happening online then really its just an application and other factors will dictate the forms choice, such as available skillsets and the level of integration required with backend systems.
This is also consistent with SAP's current and future direction - SAP is delivering forms as Adobe forms - so they can be used online and offline. Applications SAP delivers using WebDynpro.

Jocelyn

Problem in Webdynpro and Adobe form with signature field

Hi experts!
I have a problem with Signature Field in Adobe Form showed in a Web Dynpro Abap.
During the execution I fill the Signature field correctly but when I push any other button of the Webdynpro, the Adobe Form shows me the next error.
After click OK, the webdynpro is hang and not respond.
Any idea why not respond?
Thanks.

Hi friend,
Its not like that the Adobe created using SFP is non interactive.
We can create interactive forms using SFP transaction using java code.
I think it will be the problem with ADS just check with your basis people i think they will configure you the settings which works fine.
To check whether the settings are perfect you can try executing the standard programs FP_TEST_00 and
FP_PDF_TEST_00. If it works fine then some other problem exists else check with your basis team.
Just check this and revert me if you have any issues. I will help you
Thanks,

Comparison between Forms6i and Forms9i

We have some client/server-based applications built in Forms6i and are considering to convert/rebuild them into Forms9i or JDeveloper as web-based applications. Has anyone done any comparison between Forms6i and Forms9i/JDeveloper? Or, can you point me to such documentation if existed?
Thanks.

For comparison between forms 6i and Oracle9i Forms check out the new features paper on:
http://otn.oracle.com/products/forms
Comparison to JDeveloper? How about the fact that you develop with Java language in JDeveloper and with PL/SQL in Forms.
I would suggest that first you try to run your application on the Web using forms 6i. This should be a very simple test to do. See how you like it and only then ask yourself if you really need to go to JDeveloper.

Comparison between PeopleSoft and Fusion

Hi ,
I need to prepare a document to show up the comparison between PeopleSoft and Fusion. For eg: Business Unit in PeopleSoft and what is the concept in Fusion that is similar to Business Unit. Can anyone help me with a document that will give me detailed comparison between PeopleSoft and Fusion.
Thanks,
Fathima Farsatha

I can't find any comparison on the internal database. Can you add more about your goals with the question? Are you stuck with a Business unit issue or functionality. Since Fusion was built form the ground up it is a completely different software product. If you have a very specific question then we might be able to collaborate with different groups and provide an answer or fix.

Merging Smartform Output and Adobe Form Output in a single PDF File

Hi All,
My Requirement is as follows -
I have multiple Smartforms and a single Adobe Form.
I want to merge the Smartform Outputs and Adobe Form output in a single PDF.
I am able to merge multiple Smartform Output in a PDF , but not able to find any way to merge smartform and adobe form output as the Smartform output is in OTF Format and Adobe form output is in PDF Format itself.
I have tried few ways , but could not find any success.
Request you all to give me some direction to this problem.
Thanks & Regards
Bhavika

Kumar,
I am afraid this is not possible using SAP functionality. There are probably 3rd party tools which allow you to merge several PDFs into one, but SAP itself does not offer such a mechanism. There is an internal SAP function, though, which can merge several "parts" (=several PDFs) within an Adobe-created spool request into a single PDF, intended for downloading this PDF from SP01.
This is described in note 1717357.
Best regards,
Alexander

Comparison between Purisma and JCAPS?

I am researching several CDI (Customer Data Integration) solutions and I've narrowed this down to two solutions Purisma and JCAPS. I am mainly comparing the matching engines, record linkage efficiency and any machine learning capabilities.
Has anyone done a "head-to-head" comparison between JCAPS and Purisma?
Does anyone have any screenshots of the JCAPS record linkage tool for manual duplicate handling?

Comparison between 3750 and 3750-metro

hi folks,
is there any links which will provide me on the comparison between 3750 and 3750-metro? for exapmple, isis is not support on 3750 but it support on 3750-metro. The product information from cisco site is insufficient in term of the main differences :p
rgd
josh.w

Hi Josh,
The Cisco Catalyst 3750 Metro Series is built for Metro Ethernet access in a customer location, enabling the delivery of more differentiated Metro Ethernet services. These switches feature bidirectional hierarchical QoS and Traffic Shaping, intelligent 802.1Q tunneling with class-of-service (CoS) mutation, VLAN translation, MPLS, EoMPLS, and Hierarchical Virtual Private LAN Service (H-VPLS) support, and redundant AC or DC power. They are ideal for service providers seeking to deliver profitable business services, such as Layer 2, Layer 3, and MPLS VPNs, in a variety of bandwidths and with different SLAs.
The metro switches have the PXF chips (which allow hierarchical QoS on the 2 "WAN" GigE ports, so several logical links can share a connection, and have soft bandwidth limits).
For more details on 3750-M switches have a look at this link

Share Configuration Manager Entries between WebDynpro and EJB

Hi there,
I have an annoying problem: I would like to have a WebDynpro as full-blown configuration interface for my EJBs. As steted in the docu, it is not possible to share configurations between applications.
With EJB and Web Modules I would just place them in the same Enterprise Application. But I cannot as WebDynpro projects to enterprise applications (as far as I know).
Does anyone have a clou about I could manage this issue?
Thanks!
helge

Hi Maksim,
at the link you've provided it is described how to use the Configuration Manager within an EJB Module.
My Problem is that I want to use it from an WebDynpro Application. But there I don't have a META-INF\application-j2ee-engine.xm to configure the dependency.
This itself is not a problem since you can also access the Configuration Manager via JNDI.
My problem now is that the EJB Module (more precise the enterprise application where the EJB Module is included) needs to share the configurtion with the Dynpro. But vi JNDI you only get the ApplicationConfigurationManager - which is application specific.
So the question is how I could share the configuration between WebDynpro and EjbModule...

helge

Difference between "Export" and "Export form Fact Table" package

Hi experts!
Could you tell me what is the difference between "Export" and "Export form Fact Table" package?
Tkanks
Gabriel

Hi,
Basic difference between Export and Export from Fact Table is
In standard package "Export" : We can perform this function when we are online and we have adequate amount of data to be exported. We can run this package eg: weekly or monthly. Here we use u201CExport Packageu201D to pull the data
And in the administrative package "Export from Fact Table" Mostly it is used to do the backend data loading basically bulk data , also any formula logic has to be implemented on the data in that case we use the administrative package.
Hope this helps.

What is the difference between reset and adobe reset??

what is the difference between reset and adobe reset??

Reset and Reset (Adobe) will have the same effect unless you have changed the defaults.
For raw files LR uses its own defaults as the starting point for developing an image. For example, if you don’t apply your own import preset the standard default settings under detail are:
Sharpening:
Amount 25
Radius 1.0
Detail 25
Masking 0
Some users like to adjust these and make the tweaked settings into their own defaults. After making the desired adjustments in Develop simply hold down Alt and the reset button changes to Set Default.
Clicking the button will save the new default settings. This can be useful if you have more than one camera and wish to use different defaults for each.
To get back to the standard defaults simply hold down shift and click Reset (Adobe)
Restore
You can also restore the default settings globally in the develop module from the top menu:
Develop >> Set Default Settings
Then click the button "Restore Adobe Default Settings"
The standard defaults will then apply again to all future imports. For photos already in the catlaog where a non-standard default has already been applied you would need to adjust them manually using Shift+Reset (Adobe) but after adjusting one, it is then possible to sync all the others.

Difference between Smart Forms and Adobe Form

Hi all,
What are disadvantages of Smart form in SAP ,
What is difference between Smart Forms and Adobe interactive Form.
I heard from someone that in future Adobe interactive Form will repalce smart forms. Is it true or not
Best Regards
Srikanth

Hi,
Companies depend on formal documents that reflect their corporate identities and contain critical business information from live systems. SAP and Adobe partnered for automating and streamlining forms-based communication to support customers who create reusable forms for their business processes.
SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe will be used more and more as a way of simplifying and automating manual processes.
There are various advantages of Adobe forms.
SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe provides all the features and functions you need to create form-based output, such as order confirmations, invoices, or pay slips. You can either print such documents or send them by email or FAX.
Online Interactive Forms
A user logs on to the company intranet to fill in a form required by the HR department (for example, a Non-Disclosure Agreement to be signed by a new employee). The form is displayed in the browser.
As the user is logged on in the background to the company's HR system, his master data is displayed in the form. The user enters the required information in the fillable fields of the interactive form, and sends the data back to the system by pushing a button. The system extracts the data from the form and saves it in the database.
Offline Interactive Forms
The purchasing department of a company creates a bid in its Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system and selects the potential vendors. Based upon this data, the system automatically creates interactive bidding forms with specific vendor information, such as the address or contact person.
The forms are transmitted to the vendors by email. The vendors can fill out the forms offline (without being connected to the system that created the forms) and transmit them back to the company. The company then processes the forms automatically, and the data provided by the vendors is written to the ERP system. The purchasing department uses the data to evaluate the quotation and then issues an order.
With the integration of Adobe PDF technology into its solutions, SAP will be able to further extend its offerings of end-to-end business solutions by:
Providing for the first time the capabilities of Adobe's interactive PDF-based forms.
Integrating PDF documents into business processes that are driven by SAP applications.
Automating the process of moving XML data from SAP applications into interactive forms and vice versa.
Reducing time to design, manage, and maintain extended forms-based processes through easy-to-use forms design and deployment tools.
Offering its customers enhanced printing capabilities, in particular for interactive Web applications.
The focus of new forms technology from SAP is interactive PDF-based forms that can be created in SAP systems as a result of the integration of Adobe technology with Web Dynpro and the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio. This integration means that adobe is the future technology.

Kate
