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

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.

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.

Data passing problem with Adobe Form & Guided Procedure

Hello all,
I am trying to create a Guided Procedure to implement an offline Adobe Interactive form. This form is based on the standard Requisition Request form used in MSS for e-Recruiting.
I've copied the standard form and updated the layout to ZCI using the appropriate transaction (not manually). After that, I've changed the Interface and layout. But to get the Form in the portal you need to have a .xpd file. Therefore, I've tested the form in preview mode, saved a copy as a PDF file and opened this copy in the standalone Adobe Lifecycler Designer. In the standalone version you are able to save the form as a PDF (not possible using transaction SFP).
My question 1 is if this is a wrong approach and there is a better way to retrieve the xpd file.
Next to that, I wrote a RFC function to retrieve data in the backend. This function is working and now I try to pass the data to the Form in the GP (using prefilling). The data is never passed, any points that I need to check there. The data used to export is a structure that contains a number of table types, because Adobe has issues with importing tables it seems. The form is working correctly in the backend.
Points will be rewarded for helpfull awnsers!
Kind regards & thanks in advance...

Hi Eduard Vilar,
Go to sfp transaction, open the respective form, enter the transaction 'fb_xdp_down' to import the xdp layout and 'fb_xdp_up' to upload.
Hope this will hwlp. (i beleive you meant xdp rather than xpd )
- anto.

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.

     System.out.println("test1: " + test1 + " to : " +
                  sdf_4dyear.format(sdf_2dyear.parse(test1)));
     String test2 = "4/9/99";

                  sdf_4dyear.format(sdf_2dyear.parse(test2)));

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.

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.

Issue with Adobe maybe?

Hi,
So I am having issues with adobe reader. I work as tech support and someone called in with issues. His issue is:
Cannot open forms and enter information then save them back using his program. The webprogram he is using is JIDS. JIDS requires that the pdf be opened in the webbrowser. This is so it can be saved back to their database or whatever.
The issue is when he tries to open the document in ie it opens it on his local adobe program not in the browser. I checked the addons and adobe will not appear there. (in any of the catagories plz do not reply im in the wrong view or whatever) If I open a force ie to open a pdf nothing appears (makes sense because it says there is no addon). I have uninstalled and reinstalled adobe multiple times from adobe.com (it is up-to-date) every time says installed successfully. This is a new computer and does not have older versions on it. I have removed it using the adobe cleaner then reinstalled no change. I tried reapplying the acropdf.dll using regsvr32 both in the 32bit and 64 bit locations (\windows\system32\ and \windows\sysWOW64\) and I keep getting an error that says loaded but dllregisterserver error 0x80070005. which is permissions error, but he is the only admin on the pc(local admin) and has full access, uac is shut off and i was using the cmd in run as administrator mode.
Since i couldnt find anything else on this I dicided to use firefox since ie and FF are only browsers allowed by JIDS. I downloaded newest FF and FF does say adobe reader addon is installed, but when i open the pdf in the JIDS program the fields are not editable and it has a popup ontop of the browser saying something about compatability issue and asks me to open with different program (clicking it opens the pdf in the adobe reader program and it is then editable but will not save back to the website, no supprise there).
He is using windows 7 64bit logging onto a domain. Using IE9 and updated adobe reader (11.0.03) and newest version of Firefox
Windows is fully up to date.
His computer is the exact same model as the one next to it that works perfectly fine and he hasnt done anything that could have messed up the system files (he knows he is bad with computers and doesnt do anything without asking someone else first). Mostly only uses the webbrowser and another program thats installed on there for him already.
I plan on installing adobe reader X or possibly older version of IE/FF to see if these might help. I also will be checking/disabling what he has for AV (i think its just windows security essentials but im not sure will doublecheck).
Any other suggestions on things to try? What is could be causing these issues?

Probable issue with the Firefox is that in the documentation it is poorly worded poorly, JIDS only support FF 17.
What is the issue with IE if that does fix the FF issue?

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...

SAP_PA backend service EXPECTS either a hardcoded/configured subtype OR a "*" for all available subtypes (which won't work in your case). What you "could" do is get creative with "rules" and check if values are entered, and then if so, do the operation for your subtype.
What you will need to do, which is what I do a LOT because of issues with SAP_PA is to actually make you update/changes in a backend function module (triggered in workflow). Now, things get a bit more complicated.....
Priod to EhP3, you could just call the ol' infotype operations function module in your own FM to do the change. However, from EhP3 and onward, you will need to do this via classes (same used by decoupled infotype framework.
Soooooo......time to get creative with your solution.

OSX Mavricks - Any issues with Adobe CS?

Just wondering if anybody has been using Mavricks at all and if there are any issues with Adobe CS at all.

Okay, well I can give a good report on this since I installed Mavericks today and am working with InDesign CC...which, as we all know, already has slowness issues. Well, last I tried to do a simple upgrade to Mavericks and was not able to do it! Seems like the Apple Gurus formatted my hard drive in a way they were *not* supposed to when I had them replace the hard drive at the end of last year, after a hard drive recall for the iMac 27"'s...grrr...THANKS Apple Gurus! So I ended up having to wipe the drive before being able to install Mavericks....then imported all my data over and it worked GREAT! (First time I have done this since I used to always prefer a clean insteall and installing everything from scratch but just did NOT have the energy or will to do it this time around! I was IMPRESSED and all worked well!
And now on to the nitty gitty of my post....long story short, everything worked well EXCEPT for InDesign CC which was slooower than EVER. Before the upgrade, I had gotten it to a point where it was ACCEPTABLE to work in speedwise. But now every little keystroke had a HUGE lag...even selecting a tool from the toolbar would take forever. And typing or selecting text....forget it I wanted to put my head in my arms and cry my heart out. I am in the middle of some huge projects and need to get them done.
And yes, I KNOW...I KNOW...I should NOT be doing something so risky as updating my OS when I have so much work to do. BUT I DID take all the precautions and make all necessary backups prior to doing so!! It is just in my BONES and probably in my DNA that sometimes I just cannot wait to do things like these major OS upgrades...otherwise a little inner voice will keep nagging at me...and I won't be able to concentrate on anything else until I get it done...so I just HAD to go ahead and get it done! I REAAAAALLY wanted Mavericks installed!
And now for the GOOD NEWS! After trying everything else I could think of, I reset the ID CC prefs (which should have been the FIRST thing I did!!) by htting CMD-OPTION-CTRL-SHIFT upon starting ID CC and.....suddenly...lo and behold....WOW....suddenly everything had dramatically speeded up in InDesign! EVERYTHING! Text selection, typing, selecting tools and everything else. I have no doubt that most people who are having slowness issues with ID CC have already tried this and are still experiencing slowness issues....but this worked for me today at any rate. I will keep you posted if I experience any more issues after this.
All I know is I am a happy camper and ID CC seems to now be working faster than it has before.
So...that's my news:)

Issues with Adobe Reader with Windows 7

Problems Displaying data from RFC on Adobe Forms

Hi,
I have some Problems with creating an Adobe Form and hope, someone can help me or give me some hinds to some tutorials, which can help me.
I'm developing an webdynpro-application which get data from a R/3 via RFC-Call.
Context-Binding and so on is done and works. I created also an interactive form and can display some datas on it.
Here my questions:
I have an field 'unit' which shoulb be displayed on several positions onto the form. My problem is, i can display it only once. If i copy the field, there is no output in it. What can i do, to solve the problem?
From the RFC i get a table with several rows of data, i want to display on the form.
With drag&drop i can place the fields onto the form but they are displayed only once. I want one line for every row from the table.
What do i have to do? Are there tutorials which show the steps?
When I am not using a form, i can display the data from RFC in a table with no problems (i create a table ui and choose create binding from context menue). Are the nescessary steps for displaying the data on an interactive form the same.
I read something about creating a dynamic form design. Do i have to create it? What are the steps i have to do.
Many questions, but i hope that someone can give me some helpful hints.
Many thanks
Mathias Lange

Hi Mathias,
If I caught you correctly, you want to display data in Adobe forms in form of tabel, right?
So, follow the steps:
1. Insert one sub form on your adobe form.
2. Set its type as "flow content" in object->subform property.
3. Set flow direction as "Table".
4. Insert another subform inside this subform.
5. set its type as "flow content" and flow direction as "Table row".
6. Now, choose binding tab, and there check "repeat subform for each Data item check box" and specify min. count for your rows.
7. Now, insert your column fields inside this sub form once.
8. Format its look and feel as you want.
When you run this application, it will show you multiple data as table on Adobe form.
Regards,
Bhavik

A data-binding issue with a combo box.

Hi,
Iu2019m having a data-binding issue with a combo box. The field it is bound to is an integer. The valid values in the combo box are 1, 2, and 3. If I add a record when it is set to 1 or 2, the value gets stored correctly. If I add a record when it is set to 3, it is stored as 1. However, I can bring up the record just added on the form, change it to 3, and click u201CUpdateu201D and it is saved correctly as 3. If I change it so that the valid values are 4, 5, and 6, it saves a 1 regardless of what is selected in the combo box. It looks like the combo box is correctly bound for updates but not for adds. The table is a master type UDO. Any ideas? Iu2019m somewhat committed to the field being an integer. I'm using 2007A PL47.
Thanks,
Mike
Edited by: Mike Angelastro on Jul 1, 2009 2:43 PM

I tried a few things on my own. The result is that I decided that it was not a good idea to use a combo box bound to an integer (numeric) field. I donu2019t think the SDK can handle it. The reason it was an integer field in the first place is that before I changed it to a combo box it was a group of two option buttons. Option buttons use an integer (numeric) field. This worked just fine until I added a third option; the SDK didnu2019t handle the third option correctly when adding records. I thought that using a combo box instead would fix that. I was wrong; the problem remained. So I decided to use a character (alphanumeric) field instead. This works just fine.
So here is my advice: Never use option buttons if they need to be bound to the database; a combo box will actually work better when bound to the database. But use a character (alphanumeric) field.
