Debug Adobe Form Workflow

Hi folks, I am trying to debug a workflow based on Adobe Form through the Portal.
I am setting a breakpoint inside the workflow but when executing the form through the portal, the code is never been passing for the breakpoint.
My portal user and the debugging user is the same.
I have set all the required parameters in SPRO to associate my scenario with the workflow.
Am I forgetting something?
Is it possible to debug the workflow?
Thanks in advance.

Where did you set the break-point? Is it an external breakpoint?
Otherwise you can try to set an endless loop and debug it from SM50.
Regards,
Martin

Webdynpro Interactive Adobe Forms/Workflows

Hi,
I have the following steps for my client in their appraisal process.
Manger selects his employee using webdynpro and selects the appraisal form.
Manager and Employee fills Appraisal form / interactive adobe form in the beginning of the year .
It will be sent to the employee UWL through workflow for verification in read only form where he can add his comments in the comments box.Once he agrees with the objectives and submits the form it sits in the UWL of managers.
After six months there will be revision of Objective Setting if required by manager and employee with same as above process.
Objective Setting should be freezed after approval.
At the end of the year, the final appraisal form is agreed with employees and manager an approval from manager should send to the next level line manager UWL using workflows.
I have built the webdynpro application with an interactive adobe appraisal form , but how to trigger the Workflow from the adobe form and what are the steps i need to customize for the above process and store the appraisal form after the second line managers approval??
Are these available in standard workflows provided by SAP? Or do I need customization?
Please help.
Thanks.

Hi Kumar,
Your requirement is achievable by configuring a HR Process by using the HCM Process and Process. Please refer to SAP course material HR 280 for an overview of the HCM process and forms.

Adobe Forms + Workflow

Hi all
I have a question on using Adobe Forms with Workflows. It is possible to have an Off-line Adobe form and when retrieving the information from the form, fire off a workflow in ECC6, without putting that data into any table?
Example:
1. Form for Vendor Master Create filled
2. System reads form and kicks off workflow for approval.
3. After approval completed, data in workflow container is used to create the data in SAP.
Thanks.
Nick

Hi Nicholas,
agree with Mike's comments: they aren't cheap and furthermore Adobe forms are not applicable to all scenarios.
SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe as they are officially called are best suited into form scenarios where you just need to collect information (no complex UI logic like table management or dynamic actions). If you have more complex requirements on the form like calculations, report display etc. then leave it. You're better off with Web Dynpro ABAP/Java or BSP.
If however Adobe forms are a good fit UI wise, then I suggest having a look first at the ISR framework SAP delivers. I don't exactly remember, but it might even contain a standard scenario (formUIworkflow) for creating vendor master data requests.
What use the ISR brings in is that you can configure the form content characteristics (transaction QISRSCENARIO) and data passing to the to-be created notification without any coding. No custom tables thus needed, the notification acts as the data persistence object. There are also standard Web Dynpro apps delivered you can use to display the configured Adobe form.
What happens with ISR in the end is that a notification is created and a standard BUS7051-CREATED event is published. Then in your workflow you can in a background method extract the notification details and fill it anywhere you want.
If Adobe forms are not a good fit to the requirements, then creating a complete solution from scratch might be an only choice.
What we've done sometimes is that we've used the ISR notifications for persistence and created a custom BSP or Web Dynpro on top of it to act as the UI while workflow takes care of the actual process logic. There are a few ISR_* function modules you can use to programmatically create an ISR notification with, so it's not that tricky even. When compared with custom tables for data storage, you're backed up by some standard configuration options and you don't need to make your own development objects this way.
Hope this helps?

How To Debug Adobe Form in Production ?

Hi gurus,
Could anybody please help to debug a adobe form in production system. what is the procedure to debug in production.
Thanks & Regards,
Suman Kumar

You need to save the set (XML-DATA) and after it you can redo the form in your developing-system.
There is just on important thing to know, the interface isn't allowed to change during this process.
You have to search for it.
My key-words would be something like "using preview / xml download preview".
If you do not find a solution, I recommend you to invest in this book It saved my life more than one time in the past

MDM - Adobe Forms Workflow in EP!

Hi All,
Can anyone explain me about the workflow for MDM in EP wit GP and UWL!!!
Below are my requirements:
1. I wanted to create a request form (adobe form) and when I submit it, it should go to the next person for the additional fields!!!!
2. the filed should be pre populated from the previous request ....when he access the request task...and he need to fill the additional fields and send for approval....
If the above said is possible please let me know the process flow!!!
Appreciate all your answers, comments and suggestions!!!
Thanks& Regards,
Girish

Hi Girish
Yes, it is possible.
1.) Impersonalized (offline) Adobe Form starts a Guided procedure https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/e98c87ea-0c01-0010-3798-a4f8db2411c5
2.) Use Web Dynpro (GP Interface) for the GP steps

Adobe Forms - Workflow - EP

Hi,
I am doing some loude thinking. Currently working on a proposal to create an application with Adobe Forms. The idea is to have a workflow as well where the relevant party fills in their part of a form and so it moves to the next. The forms will be made available centrally via EP. I just like some suggestions on what would be the best way to have the workflow. There is a WAS (Java) available as well.

Hi Khuram,
the integration of Interactive Forms and workflow is an area where SAP currently offers different possibilities. SAP plans to expand on the functions offered in the near future.
As of today, you have basically two choices:
1. Use the Internet Service Request framework used in mySAP ERP for HR and FI processes (see also http://service.sap.com/isr).
ISR has been expanded with mySAP ERP 2004 to be able to employ Interactive Forms (and Web Dynpro for Java at runtime), so it natively runs in the Portal. It currently offers the possibility to fill in forms online and make backend checks before processing the data entry. The downside: You need mySAP ERP 2004. (On the Interactive Forms homepage in SDN at http://sdn.sap.com/sdn/adobeforms.sdn you can find a good article under Current Articles on this written by Alan Rickayzen.)
2. Build your form using the ABAP integration of Interactive Forms, build a workflow from scratch using these development objects, then somehow get this into the Portal. This is, however, an option involving a lot of manual coding. I assume this wouldn't be wanted.
There will be an additional way to do this in the future:
With mySAP ERP 2005 (ramp-up starts in October 2005, mass shipment planned for Q2/2006), SAP will ship a framework called Guided Procedures that will do pretty much exactly what you are looking at: By default, it runs in the Portal (using the Universal Worklist) and uses, among others, PDF forms, including for offline workflows. It uses the SAP workflow engine to route the work items. You configure the workflow in a Portal-based interface that can be used by business process people as well.
As I said, it'll be shipped to all customers with mySAP ERP 2005 (in SAP NetWeaver 2004s). You will be able to hear more about this at SAP TechEd as part of the IT scenario Business Task Management.
Hope this helps.
Kind regards,

Debugging Adobe forms in ISR framework

Hi,
I have created a Adobe Interactive form (on the SAP side) which is using the Internal Service Request framework (ISR). Before when I used the JSP forms I could create an external break-point in the ABAP code of BaDI QISR1 and debug it when running it on the portal, however when using the Adobe forms it seems not to work. Does anyone know if there is a way to debug the ABAP code called by Adobe Interactive forms?
Thanks in Advance,
Michiel van Rhoon

Hi Michiel,
You can do it by setting an external breakpoint in your code. Then login to the adobe form with the same user specified for the breakpoint.
There could be a problem that you login to the portal with your name, but that the Adobe form logs in with the standard j2ee admin account. Please check your JCO connection then (authentication must be set to Ticket, instead of User/Password). This is a WebDynpro JCO connection by the way

Debug adobe forms used in ISR

Hello,
is there a possibility to debug the scripts in an adobe form?
Thank you
Koen Van Loocke

Hi,
I am really sure of what your requirement is...But I used to try getting the values of BADI using the SENDAPIMAIL* Function module and get the required values in the form of mail, I place this in the appropiate method in QISR1's BADI implementation.

Standard adobe form workflow error

Hey Expert,
I am using the standard workflow template WS17900260 for any adobe form. In this task there is a task which is TS17900108. I have some workflow that end in error because of this task raising an exception "Exception CX_SY_NO_HANDLER trigger.... An exception with the type CX_HRASR00_PROCESS_MODELLING occurred but was neither handled.
I have tested the workflow with the same set of data and the wierd thing is only some of the workflow end in error.
Anyone have any idea?
Thanks
Regards,
Bryan

Hi Brian,
I am not sure , but would just try to give you pointers:
1. Techncial reason for workflow going to runtime error is, at this step in workflow, if there is an exception raised, it is not modelled in workflow.
2. This exception may be raise dif scenario, steps or process realted data is not available during processing of the task.
3. Authorization for specific activity is absent.

How to debug Adobe form attached to Web Dynpro for ABAP

Hi,
My developer has created an adobe form and rendered inside a Web Dynpro page in the SAP Portal. It communicates with the Web Dynpro framework in the backend SAP system (Web Dynpro for ABAP).
My question is, how would I know what infotype access this form requires, in the form of backend authorization role? Is there any way (not trace, ST01) to debug Abobe form on Portal or in backend SAP system?
Thanks,
Karan.

Julius Bussche wrote:
> I am not sure whether this will work in this case, but principally if your trace is recording a * value for a field in an authorization check, then it must be defined somewhere, and there is an option in the trace file to jump from the check to the source code location where it occurred.
Yes, that's possible since the trace also records the information on the ABAP source code location where the AUTHORITY-CHECK statement (or other ABAP statements which internally trigger authorization checks) is executed. If I'm not wrong then there is a button (in ST05) which allows a direct source code navigation. Alternatively you might just click on the ABAP source code information displayed in the ST05 trace results (for recorded authorization checks).

How to use SAP Business Workflow along with Interactive Adobe Form

Hi Experts,
I am working on SAP Business Workflow since last couple of years.
Now i have got a new Project where client wants to use SAP Business Workflow along with Interactive Adobe Form.
I am new to Interactive Adobe Form and Portal thing and i really dont know from where to start.
We have one central system and 2 local systems. when we do create a Material document using adobe form workflow should trigger and notification should go to group of users who can approve or reject it, once they approve it document gets created in central system and replicated to 2 local system through ALE.
In the Local system they do extend the document to different plants, again workflow triggers and notification will go to Managers inbox for the approval.
Once the final approval done data should go and store in SAP.
Now here i have couple of Questions.
1. In SAP R3 Business workflow when i execute the workitem from the inbox i do get the application screen ( i.e. MM01 MRP View ) , what is going to happen if the same case i have with Adobe form?? is it possible or do we have to design a adobe form and we will have to map the fields with backend application??
2. Do i have to maintained 3 separate Org Structure for 3 different system or using UWL i can manage the show
3. Untill final submit is not done, where the application data is going to be, is there any kind of buffer that we will have to keep it or its there with XML file??
Please help me out.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Manoj

Hi Manoj,
Welcome to ADOBE Forms related Workflow Development. Well, here are my answers.
1) You can go for either go for ISR based development or WD development with Adobe form. In both the cases you can achieve your requirement. Yes, you will have to design the Adobe form and bind the fields to backend.
2) Am not clear or your System landscape to advice you in these regards.
3) Until final Submit/Approval is done, the data can be stored in WORKFLOW CONTAINERS or XML FORM(If you go for ISR based Development).
Hope this helps.

How to Debug Java Script in Adobe Form

I have used an alert for empty fields . I have used Check button control for this.
But the button click is very inconsistent. Some times it triggers the event sometimes it doesnt. Is there anyway to debug the java script. I have installed Script editor for IE but I am unable to use it for Adobe Forms.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Vasu

Hi Vasu,
i think that maybe is the check sequence is not very correct.. and maybe you can try to code it one check for empty fields at a time..
example
Name.
Address.
Tel.
Hp.
Email.
so u can try to code for one item at a time then slow try to debug it... as last time i use to insert the javascript inside each component then after it i implement into a button and slowly check for the check sequence which one need to be 1st and etc.
hope it help you. if not maybe u can give more information. maybe i can help you out at myside.
Regard,

Access the adobe form data in the workflow container for further processin

HI,
I am using HCM processes and Forms. I need to access the form data in the workflow container once the workflow kicks off.
I need to access these data as would need it for further processing in the workflow.
I know that TS17900110 allows to import form conatiner to
-> WF Container in the field name and value pair. But I need to access a lot more fields than what is in the task. Is there a standard task which allow to retrieve all the fields in the form in one task or do I need to develope a custom class to do that. If so could you please provide some clue as in how to code this specific requirement as i am somewhat new to OO ABAP.
Thanks...

hi,
in the livecycle designer under libary tab u have webdynpro tab--->choose submit to sap button and place it in the adobe form ur designing. u can use this button to trigger the code that u have written in webdynpro java.
for eg if u have
a value node details
and under that two value attr fname,lname
import the model (Insertdata---it has two import param fname and lname)u need for updating the data to r3 system.
in the ctrller have a method submit.Here write the code to insert fname and lname into the db.
IPrivateMyForm.IDetailsElement elem = wdContext.nodeDetails().currentDetailsElement();
Insertdata_Input input = new Insertdata_Input();
wdContext.nodeInsertdata_Input().bind(input);
input.setFname(elem.getFname());
input.setLname(elem.getLname());
try
wdContext.currentInsertdata_InputElement().modelObject().execute();
wdContext.nodeOutput().invalidate();
catch (Exception ex)
{ ex.printStackTrace();}
ul bind details to the datasource.
when u edit ur interactive ui element these attr(fname and lname) vl be visible under dataview tab u can drag and drop them to the form
now add submit to sap button in ur form.
this button correspond to the onactionSubmit dat u have written in the ctrller.
so wen u click this the data vl be inserted

Use of ADOBE form with SAP workflow for R/3 4.6C

Hi All,
We are thinking of usage of ADOBE form feature as one of options to design workflow for creation and maintenance of Info record like Material Master creation. BTW the existing systems are EP 7.0 with the back end SAP ERP system 4.6 C
We would like to just check the feasibility of usage of ADOBE interactive form for above scenario. Would it be possible to go ahead with the above concept or what would be pre-requisites or risks involved?
1. How would system identify the role to direct the Adobe form for approval in case the form is raised by multi department?
2. How can the data validations in ADOBE form happen with reference to SAP std. tables?
An early reply would be appreciated.
Rgds,

Hi,
If you use EP 70 you can used guided procedure for your requirement .
