Enhancements to Forms

We use HCM F&P and everything works well in the Production system.
We plan to make some enhancements to the Form like 1) Changes in Layout, 2) New Fields, 3) Changes in Workflow routing
We plan to introduce new container variables which will change workflow routing after the changes are done.
When we plan to release to the production system, what will happen to active (workflow which are not completed with old layout) workflows in the system?
What is the best way to minimize the impact to existing / active forms / workflows?

Hi Jithu,
HCM P&F allows you to create new versions of Processes and Form Scenarios. You should consider using these features.
Let me know if this helps you or not.

Ben Patterson

  • Service Desk Enhancement with Forms & Survey - no data evaluation possible

    Hello,
    I implemented an additional form in the service desk (using the survey functionality)
    See details here: http://www.solutionmanagerexpert.com/article_printable.cfm?id=5621
    Creation was fine, I am able to see the additional form as extra tab in Service Desk Support Messages (transaction type SLFN).
    But evaluting the data does not work.
    According to the survey suite, no data is available - but I answered to the survey/provided input to the form.
    I saved the values, and looking into the appropriate tables (mentioned here: CRM Survey Evaluation Data Storage) give the impression that answers are there.
    But I cannot evaluate them...
    Does anybody have experience with this kind of service desk enhancement and knows how to get the data for evaluation?

  • Runtime Error in enhanced DPR_Approval form in xRPM 4.5

    Hi ,
    I'm working on an enhancement for the DPR approval Adobe Form to display phases and tasks in a Project.
    I have created a form based on the standard DPR_ARPPOVAL form and did the configuration on the SPRO.
    Everything is mapped correctly but when I run the approval for a Phase on Project Management, I get the folllowing run-time error
    I have checked the table mentioned in the error and the type exists. I have no clue how to fix this. I also checked the OSS notes but nothing helped.
    I would appreciate if anyone could help me on this.

    Found the Solution. Add the reference fields for currency and quantity fields used in the Interface.
    This should resolve the issue

  • Problems to enhance adobe form ISR_MSSRCF_SRQ3

    Hello masters:
    I'm enhancing the standard form ISR_MSSRCF_SRQ3 which is part of the S_HRMSSRCF_REQUISITION process. After I have activated the form, the fields that I previosuly inserted disappear.
    Does anybody know what coulb be happening?
    NOTE: I don't have installed the ISR library, so I'm using standar library components. ¿how can install ISR library?
    Thank you.

    It was because there wasn't enough space within the form.
    Thank you.

  • Add new field to HR PCR forms

    Hi All,
    We are trying to enhance adobe form for scenario SRQ1.
    We want to add some new fields to tha form.
    For that we have copied the existing standard form to zform.
    We have implemented the zinterface too.
    To add new field on form we created as an import parameter in form interface.
    We added to context of adobe form and on layout.
    But we are not getting that field in 'special_data' table in BADI implementation of SRQ1.
    Please let me know how and where we should write a code to add new field in 'special_data' table.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Nilesh.

    Thanks Suresh,
    We have added it to characteristics of SRQ1 scenario and it's working.
    But now we are facing problem in adding data to additional_data table.
    Can you tell us something about it.
    Actually in set_additional_values method of BADI we are adding data to additional_data table but on form it is not reflecting.
    Please advice.

  • Error messages are displayed when opening the RTV form.

    Hi All,
    While doing a return to vendor the following error messages are displayed.
    1.Go to the Inventory Management --> Return to Vendor screen.
    2. In Action Drop down select ‘New’ and click on OK
    3. A series of errors are encountered.
    4. A warning message as [640+49> 688] and then click ‘OK’.
    5. Notice the error message”Multi view internal error: B_RTV_DETAIL.QTY_RETURNED:current_col_pos exceeds parameter defined maximum right position” and then click’ OK’.
    Can any one help me out in these?
    Thanks,
    Sushanth.D

    This is a coding issue in the form, maybe the number is too big for the box on the canvas.
    It looks also like a business issue is kicking off the error, the message [640+49> 688] looks like some units of stock etc. check, e.g. the returned quantity is larger than the stock on hand.
    File an SR with OracleSupport and/or open the UI's Form fmb code in Forms Developer.
    Multi View relates to an (quite old) OracleRetail (Retek) Forms pll library that enhances the Forms features, if my memory is not letting me down.

  • Forms on a mobile

    Hi - I'd really appreciate some advice.  I am designing a process which will involve field staff signing up new clients using a form (designed in Acrobat X Pro) on an Android tablet device (Galaxy Tab 2 7.0) and getting the data back to head office where it will be used to populate a database.  I also want a copy of the filled in form - either as a PDF, or by re-populating a 'shell' form with the data.
    Some of the required fields for the database are not actually collected on the form, but are generated by either performing a calculation on the form data or by looking it up in another data source such as an Excel wiorksheet.  Ideally there would be also some simple validation checks to stop staff entering inconsistent data, but this is not essential.
    I started out trying to design all the functionality into the form, only to find that no mobile reader will currently handle any javascript, xfa etc.  So my new approach has been to strip the form down to textfields and dropdown lists, and then do all the conversion back at head office - get the data into Excel, manipulate it and then convert to csv to get it into my database.
    My remaining problems are these:
    1.  Because Reader 10.2 saves the form as it goes along, it doesn't seem to be possible to store a blank template (as in Excel or Word) and use this to generate new forms for each new client, so there's a big risk of inadvertently overwriting.   Is this right and is there a workround?
    2.  I think I'm right in saying that, while Reader 10.2 will email the full PDF, it won't email fdf data, which means that when the form arrives at head office I have to open the whole form in Acrobat in order to merge it to a spreadsheet.  Is this right or is there a simpler way?
    3.  While Reader 10.2 will email a file (either directly via GMail or by responding to a 'submit' button in the form itself), email is not necessarily the best way of doing this - not least because it adds another step into the process (that of saving the email attachment to disk in order to extract the data to Excel).  Is it possible to upload the completed form to Dropbox (or similar) from within the Reader (I'm trying to avoid anything that is going to mean field staff having to do file manipulation on a tablet - I want it automated or button driven as far as possible)
    4. The workflow:  fill in form, email pdf to head office, save attachment, upload into Acrobat, merge to spreadsheet, manipulate, export as csv, import csv into database - is all getting a bit complex and inelegant.  Any other ideas for achieving what, in essence, must be a simple and widespread business process, would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Ross

    Hi Ross,
    Thanks for the suggestions. Here are some answers below, though I can't answer everything. We understand the value of Javascript especially related to forms, so we are looking into how we can support the basic built-in JS functions without exposing any security risk. I don't yet know when we'll be able to ship it, but it is somethign that we're actively investigating.
    for your remaining problems:
    1. We are working on some file management additions to help with exactly this case, to allow users to create copies of a template.
    2. Currently I don't have a better suggestion, though we are continuing to look at enhancing our forms support. There are many person-decades of legacy PDF form support in the desktop Reader, so it will take us some time to catch up!
    3. We know that Cloud integration is something that is missing, and we are looking into when and how we can add support.
    4. I don't have a single great suggestion for what you need right now. We currently have solutions that each may support part of your needs, but may not be exactly what you need out of the box today:
    - FormsCentral will allow you to create forms that can be filled out and submitted to the service in the browser or as PDF, but has only basic validation, and does not have calculation. Also, Reader Mobile does not yet support submission to the FormsCentral service (expect it to come, though). This may be the best long term option as the integration comes together, though. Take a look and see if it will work for you!
    - LiveCycle is an Enterprise grade suite of Servers, web apps, and integration with Reader to handle Dynamic PDF and forms data collection, but is a significant investment (time and money), and does not have a great mobile integration yet.
    - You could build your own server to collect data from the field over http, but that would be a significant investment, and Reader Mobile does not yet support submitting forms data via http.

  • Forms Not showing the Latest Updated one

    Hi,
    I have a form deployed on 10g AS 9.0.4. After enhancing a form and deploying it on the AS: i cannot see the modified changes (it shows me the previous version of the form). This happens only for some forms, However if i create a sample form and deployed it and after enhancing the sample form i can see the modified changes.
    Please help me in this regards
    I am using 10g AS 9.0.4
    Regards

    I'm afraid I can't offer any explanation for this. The feed seems to be perfectly OK, the episodes I checked downloaded OK, but the Store plainly hasn't checked the feed since shortly after March 5th. This sort of odd thing does happen very occasionally - sometimes it sorts itself out eventually. There isn't really anything you can do about the feed to help matters, as far as I can see. You could try approaching iTunes Support, but be warned that you will probably just get a form answer which doesn't address the problem. Go to http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ - click on 'Other iTunes Store Features' in the list and then on 'Podcasts'. You will see a link to either 'Express Lane', which will guide you eventually to some contact options, or you may see a link to email them.

  • Interactive Adobe Form Attachments - not possible??

    Hi All,
    I'm trying to extract attachments from interactive adobe form.
    I bound the pdfsource to the form and tried to extract the attachments using pdfclasses.
    The attachments are not captured in the pdfsource. SAP Note 1260750 says
    "There is no support for attachments to interactive forms up to SAP NetWeaver 70 EhP2."
    However I tried the same using offline upload (interactive form) and I could extract the attachments on SAP Netweaver 7.0 Ehp1.
    I would like to know -
    1) If there is some work around to do the same for Online form too.
    2)  Is Ehp2 released?
    Thank you,
    Sri

    Hi Subramanyam,
    Since i had queries regarding the same requirement that I think you have just achieved, so I could not help but to reply to the same thread and hoping to get some help.
    I have developed an offline Interactive form which after getting filled is submitted by mail to save the information at the backend in the SAP system. This is working fine.
    But now i need to enhance this form by providing an attachment functionality to the form where the user would be allowed to fill in the form and also attach some documents. I have been able to implement the same absolutely fine but while submitting the form through email, where my form gets attached with the mail in an xml format, I am not able find a way to send the attachment in the attached xml and thus not reaching backend.
    Please help me out to find a way to send the attached document by Submitting though mail and thus make it reach the backend system for further processing.
    Thanks,
    Abhishek Goel.

  • IDS 11g Forms and "included" Graphics capability?

    Grant,
    what is the projected integrated graphics/charting capability in 11g version of Forms?
    Will there be an integrated graphics/charting capability like we have now in 10.2.1.0.2 Reports or are we still going to continue using FormsGraph.jar file Frank Nimphius developed (but not officially supported by Oracle)?
    If this will be an integrated feature, then what are the improvements will be compared to the existing FormsGraph.jar implementation?
    Is there any documentation on Forms 11g and integrated graphics capability?
    note: I remember way back when I was told that graphics capability will be integrated to Forms in 11g - this is why I am asking.
    Thank you very much.

    What is the official channel at Oracle Corp. to ask for a feature enhancements for Forms 11, such as implementing the charting capability into Forms 11 and "officially" support it, instead of asking questions on OTN and getting "non OTN available/downloadable FormsGraph.jar updates" from Frank Nimphius (the FormsGraph.jar available on OTN is not the latest version of it). I appreciate Frank for sending me a latest version of the file yesterday very much, but it is not working when deployed from iAS 10.1.2.0.2, so I ended up sending him another e-mail for help - and I am sure he is busy with other things. I hope an official implementation in Forms 11 will be maintained and supported by more than 1 person at Oracle Corp. I am planning to call OPN, is that the right channel to ask this feature enhancement request for Forms 11 ?
    Thank you

  • Wed dynpro Screen VS Adobe forms

    Hi,
    as i understood adobe forms can be used as offline files and later can be uploaded, and also functionality like printing is possible with adobe forms.
    what i dont understood is why dont we just use normal webdynpro screens instead of adobe forms
    what are the basic differences that force us to use adobe forms rather than normal web dynpro screens
    this may seems weird question!!!
    your suggestions are invited.
    Thanks,
    Kranthi.

    Hi,
    SAP and Adobe have a very strong relationship, both at the business level and the technical level. SAP ship a number of PDF form templates as standard forms for to use, complementing SAP's Smartform and SAPScript offerings. They also ship the Adobe Form designer in both the ABAP and Java development environments. However, *to develop inhouse forms or enhance existing forms customers will need some expertise in LiveCycle and need to pay some additional licensing fees.* The Adobe Forms are very familiar to end-users and offer both online (through Webdynpro) and offline solutions for data entry.
    One thing to be aware of is that Adobe Forms are not as tightly integrated to the ABAP runtime as say WD4A and therefore do not offer the richer client functionality, but are very suitable for simple forms and simple requirements.
    Another thing,
    Smart forms / scripts are used to show the data in SAP. Most likely you will use these to print / display some kind of reciepts / forms. Many companies must be using this for hard copies / ALE / EDI or to transfer data from SAP to others.
    Adobe forms are used to post data into SAP from SAP too.  So this has an additional feature compared to smartforms.
    Hope you are cleared...

  • Attaching .jar file to Forms

    First of all, I would like to extend many thanks to those who solve so many problems for many of us on this forum with your wisdom. Maybe some day I will learn enough to return these many favors. My problem, is it possible (and how is it done) to call a .jar file from within Forms? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again.

    you don't call a jar file you call a class in a jar file.
    It depends on where you want the java to run.
    If you want to use java to enhance the forms UI then you need to change the HTML that invokes your form on the web to include the jar file with the new component you created.
    If you want to invoke Java on the server side then you should add the jar to the classpath on the server and use the java importer to wrap the class you want to activate.

  • About license of HCM processes and form

    Hi all:
    Can anybody tell me if we want to use HCM processes and form, are we need to buy extra license for interactive forms?
    Thank you very much!
    wayne

    Hello Wayne,
    sap notes 750784 describes the scenarios in which using Adobe Interactive Forms needs an extra license.
    To sum up:
    - using print forms is included
    - using the sap delivered standard / example forms is included
    - if you change only the "color" of the standard forms this is still included
    - once you start to functional enhance standard forms by modification (new fields, new logic) or even develop your own templates and forms you need an additional licence
    Kind Regards

  • Updating Form

    I have a form. Currently there are a few optional fields. Now I want to enhance the form by making some fields become mandatory.
    If the user open the form, navigate around without changing, updating or inserting, the user can close the form without any further action.
    If the user open the form and make some changes (updating or inserting something) then the form will force the user to enter new mandatory fields. The way I would like the form to do is to pop up a message informing the user to enter the field and focus on that field.
    I use the pre-commit to detect if there is changes then display the message. But I have two problems:
    1.     I cannot use go_item in the pre-commit.
    2.     If I click on the save button, the form works ok. But if I click on the exit button, the form ask do you want to save, I click ‘Yes’, the message pops up and then the form closes without saving changes (it should go back to the form and focus on the field).
    Please give me some suggestions that work for both situations:
    1.     Click exit button.
    2.     Click save button.
    Thank you in advance.

    Could someone give me some advices please. I tried different ways but not working.
    Thank you.
