Compressing data in Smartform

Dear All
I am supposed to customize   a    Smartforms(HCM)   which   has   a   work   schedule   being displayed as follows currently
Week No 1                        Days Off SAT/SUN
           Start Time         End Time
Sat           00                00
Sun           00                00
Mon           800             1700
Tue           800              1700
Wed           800              1700
Thu           800              1700
Fri           800              1700
Which consumes lot of space & readability is not   up to the mark , so the   following   format is   recommended
Week No Days On     Start Time   End Time      Days Off
1     MO/TU/WE/TH/FR   800          1700
                       00            00          SA/SU
2     SA/MO/TU/WE/TH   800          1700                          00             00         SU/FR
existing format is being dispalyed with the help of a loop node with a table type interface
Now the same loop node is to be modified to get the recommended format (they dont want to modify the print/driver program ,only smartform is to be modified )
Plz help me out to solve the same .
Thanks

This issue is resolved,

How can i print data in smartforms from ABAP program.

Dear gurus:
in my abap program i process require data, and saved in a internal table.
how can l print the data in smartforms.?
who can give me a code sample is better:)
reward all helpful advise.

Try this....
1) Tcode --> SmartForms
2) Form name --> Z_SF_TEST Create
3) Under Global settings
a) Form Interface
 Table Tab
 ITAB LIKE EKPO
b) GLOBAL Definitions
WA_NETPR LIKE EKPO-NETPR
In smart forms if we want to display quantity and currency fields. We can't directly display currency field and quantity fields
For that we have to create an extra variable in global definitions
Ex: netpr FIELD of EKPO
CREATE program lines and specify WA_NETWR = itab-netpr.
4) RT CLick on main Window
 CREATE --> TABLE
Click Table painter
DEFAULT %LTYPE will be Created
a) If you want more like Header footer etc add by rt click on %LTYPE1
Table (Tab)
%LTYPE Radio(SELECT) 5 CM 5 CM 6 CM
CLICK on DATA (Tab)
INTERNAL TABLE ITAB LIKE ITAB
5)RT click on table control and create --> program lines
General attribute (Tab)
INPUT PARAMETER OUTPUT PARAMETER
itab WA_NETPR
Code Area
WA_NETWR = ITAB-NETPR.
6) RT CLcick on table ctl and create 3 text to display the fields
a) % text1 +button(insert field)
 FIELD name &itab-ebeln&
Output options (tab)
Check New line LINETYPE %Ltype1
check new cell
b) % text2
 & itab-ebelp&
output options
check new cell
c) % text2
 & wa_netpr&
output options
check new cell
Report ac
Tables ekpo.
Data: itab1 like ekpo occurs 0 with header line.
select * into table itab1 from ekpo.
Call function module --> smart form function module and pass your internal table

Compressing data through URLConnection

I was looking into to the URLConnection and try to get a way to configure the connection(set my own sockets so that I can compress data going back and forth) similar to the way RMI handles this issue by providing clientSocketFactory, and serversocketFactory to UnicastRemoteObject. It seems there is no way to do that. I know I can specify URLStreamHandlerFactory but that does not seem to do what I am looking for.
I am looking for a way to control the underlying communication mechanism in which the connection I get from URL.openConnection() uses. That is possible if the API would provide a way to pass <mechanism>Factories to the URL. if any one has a solution to this please email it to me.
I will give you some code to see what I am talking about.
//Servlet

s.append(char[]) and s.append(char[], int, int) are
similar each one is converted into string throught
String.valueOf(char[]) and String.valueOf(char[], int,
int) respectively then it is appended to the
s(stringBuffer) so I do not see why one is more
efficient Than the other, please explain.from the implementation of StringBuffer:
 public synchronized StringBuffer append(char str[], int offset, int len) {
 int newcount = count + len;
 if (newcount > value.length)
 expandCapacity(newcount);
 System.arraycopy(str, offset, value, count, len);
 count = newcount;
 return this;
 }where do you see conversion to String? typically you do multiple appends and then one StringBuffer.toString(). this is different from creating a String on every append.
Using Zip streams can fix the particular problem I
outlined but I was thinking about a way to control
the underlying communication mechanizim in which the
connection(URLConnection) depend on.so you wanted to hide the compression inside of URL.openStream()?

To display execise number and date in smartform

Hi Abappers,
i want to display execise number and date in smartform and by using driver program also.
i have taken fields from vbrk,vbrp and send to final internal table,but now i want to display execise number in my Smartform also.
Thanking u,
sri.

Create a window inside window create text element inside that insert field your excise number and date field names.
Go to form interface -> import parameters declare your internal table name type vbrp/vbrk.
In your print program smart form function module pass this table.

One integration scenario Many target system and Outgoing compressed data

I have some theoretical questions about XI usage.
At first, I'm not quite sure about the following thing: for example we have a corporate system and a lot of mobile computers (let's name them "clients") with installed small databases. Number of clients is not constant, but integration scenario is one for all of them. Next, if we add new client we must add new technical system, business system, communication channel, configure scenario, add required receiver and interface determination, and so on and so on. If we remove client we also must do all these steps. In this case, is it possible in XI (anywhere) to automate these procedures of scenario configuration? For example create something like business system template with communication channels or have one business system and a lot of communication channels in one integration scenario (in this way I suppose that message will be delivered to target system on the message content-based routing) and quickly activate/deactivate this channels (in fact receiver determination).
At second, we know that XI can receive and send compressed data if client initiates communication with XI. Anybody know about reverse functionality, when XI initiates communication with target system and compresses data (on the understanding that target system is able to receive and handle compressed data). If anybody know that is possible - can you navigate me to this information?
Thank you for help,
Best regards.

Hi Maxim,
You dont need to create techn and bus systems in SLD for your clients as you can use business services. Of course you have to create a comm channel for every client (receiver address is individual!). Receiver determination and interface determination can be configured dynmamicly with wild cards (*). You can find receivers by condition of payload content.
If you want to change this conditions very quickly (with a customizing table) you can use following trick: Use a ABAP mapping which is reading that table. Unfortunately the message is first routed and then mapped. So you have to send the message over http adapter back to XI, where the changed message is now routed by a condition. Of course a quite complex scenario, the monitoring is even more complex bcoz doubled no of messages (no performance problem - http adapter is never a bottleneck).

Udo

Any Function Module to translate variable data in smartform

Hi All,
I am working with smartform.
My requirement is, when user logins with Japan language.
then all the data ( text template and variable data ) should be in Japan .
By using SE63 ,i can translate only text data. How about the variable data in smartform?
Please suggest any solution.
Regards,
Kishan

Hope you are passing the variable from print program. If not then do the same. and in the print program do the below thing.
   wf_spras = sy-langu.
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ISOLA_OUTP
      EXPORTING
           input = wf_spras
      IMPORTING
           output = wf_language.
SET LANGUAGE wf_language.
wa_control_parameters-langu = wf_spras.
PS : wa_control_parameter , you pass through control_parameters, in to the SMARTFORM calling FM .
Make sure that the data, which u fill into the variable you are talking about in maintained in the log on language also.

How i can display i_tab data in smartform as required

hi all
 i have tried a lot but not able to make logic for displaying data frm i_tab to SF as required ,
 my requirement is , i have data in i_tab as given below
field 1, 2,3,4, are TRNTYP CHAPID MATNR MAKTX OF J_1IEXCDTL respectivly.
GRPO 8707.00 0025F AC92 CON ROD FORGING.

 1315F CONNECTING ROD 
 Way to Display :-
 1. Chapter id in one single line
 2. then if TRNTYP is ARE1 or ARE3 it should display in second single
 line. <not any other TRNTYP>
 3. then field no. 3 & 4 of i_tab should come based on TRNTYP
 please guide me and help me , if possible help me with dummy code example
or if not then help me to make logic by give hint,
 i have all related data in one single i_tab

Here is the procedure
1. Create a new smartforms
Transaction code SMARTFORMS
Create new smartforms call ZSMART
2. Define looping process for internal table
Pages and windows
First Page -> Header Window (Cursor at First Page then click Edit -> Node -> Create)
Here, you can specify your title and page numbering
&SFSY-PAGE& (Page 1) of &SFSY-FORMPAGES(Z4.0)& (Total Page)
Main windows -> TABLE -> DATA
In the Loop section, tick Internal table and fill in
ITAB1 (table in ABAP SMARTFORM calling function) INTO ITAB2
3. Define table in smartforms
Global settings :
Form interface
Variable name Type assignment Reference type
ITAB1 TYPE Table Structure
Global definitions
Variable name Type assignment Reference type
ITAB2 TYPE Table Structure
4. To display the data in the form
Make used of the Table Painter and declare the Line Type in Tabstrips Table
e.g. HD_GEN for printing header details,
IT_GEN for printing data details.
You have to specify the Line Type in your Text elements in the Tabstrips Output options.
Tick the New Line and specify the Line Type for outputting the data.
Declare your output fields in Text elements
Tabstrips - Output Options
For different fonts use this Style : IDWTCERTSTYLE
For Quantity or Amout you can used this variable &GS_ITAB-AMOUNT(12.2)&
5. Calling SMARTFORMS from your ABAP program
REPORT ZSMARTFORM.
Calling SMARTFORMS from your ABAP program.

Smartform
you can check this link here you can see the steps and you can do it the same by looking at it..
http://smoschid.tripod.com/How_to_do_things_in_SAP/How_To_Build_SMARTFORMS/How_To_Build_SMARTFORMS.html
SMARTFORMS STEPS.
1. In Tcode se11 Create a structure(struct) same like the Internal table that you are going to use in your report.
2. Create Table type(t_struct) of stracture in se11.
3. In your program declare Internal table(Itab) type table of structure(struct).
4. Define work area(wa) like line of internal table.
5. Open Tcode Smartforms
6. In form Global setting , forminterface Import parameter define Internal table(Itab) like table type of stracture(t_struct).
7. In form Global setting , Global definitions , in Global data define Work area(wa) like type stracture(struct).
8. In form pages and window, create Page node by default Page1 is available.
9. In page node you can create numbers of secondary window. But in form there is only one Main window.
10. By right click on page you can create windows or Go to Edit, Node, Create.
11. After creating the window right click on window create table for displaying the data that you are passing through internal table.
12. In the table Data parameter, loop internal internal table (Itab) into work area(wa).
13. In table there are three areas Header, Main Area, Footer.
14. Right click on the Main area create table line by default line type1 is there select it.
15. Divide line into cells according to your need then for each cell create Text node.
16. In text node general attribute. Write down fields of your work area(wa) or write any thing you want to display.
17. Save form and activate it.
18. Then go to Environment, function module name, there you get the name of function module copy it.
19. In your program call the function module that you have copied from your form.
20. In your program in exporting parameter of function pass the internal table(itab).
SAP Smart Forms is introduced in SAP Basis Release 4.6C as the tool for creating and maintaining forms.
SAP Smart Forms allow you to execute simple modifications to the form and in the form logic by using simple graphical tools; in 90% of all cases, this won't include any programming effort. Thus, a power user without any programming knowledge can
configure forms with data from an SAP System for the relevant business processes.
To print a form, you need a program for data retrieval and a Smart Form that contains the entire from logic. As data retrieval and form logic are separated, you must only adapt the Smart Form if changes to the form logic are necessary. The application program passes the data via a function module interface to the Smart Form. When activating the Smart Form, the system automatically generates a function module. At runtime, the system processes this function module.
You can insert static and dynamic tables. This includes line feeds in individual table cells, triggering events for table headings and subtotals, and sorting data before output.
You can check individual nodes as well as the entire form and find any existing errors in the tree structure. The data flow analysis checks whether all fields (variables) have a defined value at the moment they are displayed.
SAP Smart Forms allow you to include graphics, which you can display either as part of the form or as background graphics. You use background graphics to copy the layout of an existing (scanned) form or to lend forms a company-specific look. During printout, you can suppress the background graphic, if desired.
SAP Smart Forms also support postage optimizing.
Also read SAP Note No. 168368 - Smart Forms: New form tool in Release 4.6C
What Transaction to start SAP Smart Forms?
Execute transaction SMARTFORMS to start SAP Smart Forms.
Key Benefits of SAP Smart Forms:
SAP Smart Forms allows you to reduce considerably the implementation costs of mySAP.com solutions since forms can be adjusted in minimum time.
You design a form using the graphical Form Painter and the graphical Table Painter. The form logic is represented by a hierarchy structure (tree structure) that consists of individual nodes, such as nodes for global settings, nodes for texts, nodes for output tables, or nodes for graphics.
To make changes, use Drag & Drop, Copy & Paste, and select different attributes.
These actions do not include writing of coding lines or using a Script language.
Using your form description maintained in the Form Builder, Smart Forms generates a function module that encapsulates layout, content and form logic. So you do not need a group of function modules to print a form, but only one.
For Web publishing, the system provides a generated XML output of the processed form.
Smart Forms provides a data stream called XML for Smart Forms (XSF) to allow the use of 3rd party printing tools. XSF passes form content from R/3 to an external product without passing any layout information about the Smart Form.

Sending & Receiving compressed Data

Hi, How can i send & receive compressed data over a network using DeflaterInputStream and InflaterOutputStream, thanks.

You probably would not use those classes directly, but GZIPInput and GZIPOutput stream instead. you would wrap those streams around the socket Input and Output streams at either end of a socket connection.

Invalid compressed data--crc error (RHEL ES 3.0)

Hi,
i have downloaded from the Oracle Server these archive: ship.db.lnx32.cpio.gz
in order to install Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1.0.3) on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux (ES) 3.0 server, but when i tried to uncompress (with gunzip) the archive ship.db.lnx32.cpio.gz, i receive these error: "invalid compressed data--crc error".
so, please can you tell me what is the problem exactly. because, i have downloaded four times !!! but the problem didn't change.
Thanks

This is what I got when I ran cksum:
$ chsum ship.db.lnx32.cpio.gz
405751305 649170233 ship.db.lnx32.cpio.gz
as you can see it does not equal 1778052285, so does that mean I have to dl keep downloading the file till i get the correct cksum?
This is just a dev system so it has only 32MB, is that a problem? Do I have to have 256MB?
Thanks.

Reporting on compressed data

Hi Gurus,
Is it possible to do the reporting on compressed data.
Thanks,
Venu

Yes Venu, the system will pick data from the F (fact) and E (table) depending on any filters, selections, variables you have given. The compression of data is transparent to the end user.
Hope this helps...

Problems with E-Recruiting Data Overview Smartforms

Hello,
We recently upgraded from E-Recruiting 3.0 sp12 to sp15. During this upgrade we have noticed that our custom Data Overview Smartforms have not being displayed. Instead the system is calling the original SAP delivered forms. The problem is that in table T77RCF_UI_PARAM we have the parameters set to display the correct forms. As strange as that sounds we were able to fix most of them by changing the case, i.e. from lower to upper or upper to lower, of the BSP application name. We are still however having problems with one particular BSP application:
Name Paramtyp Parameter
HRRCF_CAND_DOVR DISPLAY_PDF Z_ER_CANDIDATE_PREVIEW
HRRCF_CAND_DOVR SF_VIEW_CAND Z_ER_CANDIDATE_PREVIEW
The SAP delivered smartform is HRRCF_CANDIDATE_PREVIEW.
This one, regardless of what case the BSP application is in, continually displayes the SAP delivered smartform.
I have verified that the custom form is indeed active. And we also went as far as appying oss notes:
Note 1017662 - T77RCF_UI_PARAM: Application name is case-sensitive
Note 1037121 - T77RCF_UI_PARAM: Length of Input Field Parameters too short
Yet another twist to this is that when I log on as an Internal Candidate and click on the Data Overview link on the external candidate personnel page the custom form is displayed. However, when I log on as an External Candidate and click on the same link the SAP delivered form is displayed.
Could this have something to do with the type of roles assigned? Just incase I verified that the roles for the External Candidate were indeed SAP_RCF_EXTERNAL_CANDIDATE and the internal role was SAP_RCF_INTERNAL_CANDIDATE.
Any help would be appreciated!
Respectfully,
Ryan

Well the error you are facing, that the external candidate does not see the custom smartform depends on a new BSP application that is delivered with SP14.
You need to copy the customizing of hrrcf_cand_dovr to hrrcf_cdovr_ext.

Need help to compress data

Hy
Is there anybody out there who can tell me how can I do to compress data from a 35 to 40 pages file to be able to send it on one shot by email. Otherwise the file is going to be too gig to be sende on one email.
Thanks
Idanuel

It's generally considered a bad idea to send big files in a mail shot. It really annoys some people because it fills up their mail box. Good practice is to put the file on your web site, and send out a small piece inviting them to visit and read it.
