Error in calling/converting smart form from ECC to pdf in portal.

Hi,
We have a requirement in our project where we have to show IT form in portal exactly in the way payslip are shown in ESS
Screen, that is in the pdf form in ess portal screen.
For this my HR abap consultant has made one customize smart form which is being called from a RFC FM.
After the FM lf_fm_name gets executed , the OTF data is being captured and then converted in to PDF.
After that the PDF is then converted into XSTRING format which is then supplied to the portal side through export parameter
of the RFC.
Now when we debugged the RFC, the conversion is taking place perfectly fine in to XSTRING.This is wat we assume.
Portal Side: I have used Iframe ui ELEMENT in my webdynpro java and its property source I have binded with a value attribute
of type string and I am executing above customize RFC given to me by my HR abap consultant and after executing that RFC with
userID and payroll year as its import parameter I am taking export parameter of that RFC with name pdf_string of type XSTRING
of that RFC into my webdynpro java value attribute which i binded to source property of Iframe.
Now when we see the output in portal , first of all pdf is not getting generated and its showing the error message:
file does not begin with '%pdf-' and secondly errored Adobe form getting opened outside Iframe window its not coming within
Iframe window like what payslip comes inside Iframe UI element.
I want to know what mistake we are doing in our ABAP coding or portal coding.
Please help.

Hi Satyam,
You can use the existing SAP GRT framework for developing the app.
Its easy and provides more features.

Error when call a interactive form from a report.

Hi everybody!
When i use report SAPBC480_DEMO to call form BC480_FINAL, i have the error ADS: Request start time:.......
I don't know how to fix that error. Can anybody help me?
Thank!

Hi Duo,
i was facing similar problems. It could be solved by installing the Reader Right Credentials. If you want to use a pdf with editable fields (no read-only document) you have to install the RRC. Check this url

FRM-10242: Cannot call linked-in Forms from Form Builder. error

FRM-10242: Cannot call linked-in Forms from Form Builder.
Cause: The menu designer specified a call to linked-in Forms from within Form Builder.
Action: Notify your DBA.
does anyone know why this happens.
I have this main-menu.. and when i click on one of the submenus which should call the form....i get this error.

Same issue here... Been trying to get this working since a week now. I tried all the solutions like memory heap and all but no luck.
One thing that I would like to know is that, in some threads the resolution was to recompile the INS_FORMS.MK file under /forms/lib32 but with my installation I don't have that "lib32" folder under /forms/ and I can not even find that file anywhere in my entire installation.
I am using 12.1.1 on Windows Server 2008.
Any help or guidelines is greatly appreciated.

Calling a Smart Form on Click of a Table Row..

Hi All,
I have one requirement.
I have developed one applicaiton, in which from R3, the values are coming in form of a table. Now, on Click of a Table row, it should call a smart form developed in R3 for that selected row attribute. Also the smart form should open in a new window, so that user can take a print of it.
How to add this new view and how to get the selected Row value ?
Please help me.

Hi,
To open the new window, I have added blow code:
IWDWindowInfo windowInfo = (IWDWindowInfo) wdComponentAPI.getComponentInfo().findInWindows("InfoPopup");
IWDWindow window = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createWindow(windowInfo, true);
window.open();
but, getting error message as : IWDWindowInfo cannot be resolved
what should be the import parameter? Also please tell me how to search for the Import parameters for the respected attribute/code?
Please help.

Problem in converting smart form into PDF

HI Experts,
                  I am using a Function Module CONVERT_OTF for converting smart form into pdf file for send it to with attachment.
But i got a error when i am using that FM.
Runtime Errors         CONVT_NO_NUMBER
unable to interpret *292 as a no.
Is that because my file size too large about 13 pages of PDF?
and when i run it for other smart forms which have 2 or 3 pages of PDF, its working perfectly.
can anyone tell what is problem with that FM?
Thanks
Shakun

Hi,
I had the similar issue and after analysis I have that this is the issue by not passing the IMPORTING parameter of the Function Module "BIN_FILESIZE". Please try to pass some variable to this paramter and then this will be completely rectified.
DATA ; v_filesize     TYPE i.
*--Convert OTF data to PDF data
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTF'
    EXPORTING
      format                = 'PDF'

    IMPORTING
      bin_filesize          = v_filesize
    TABLES
      otf                   = it_otfdata
      lines                 = it_pdfdata
    EXCEPTIONS
      err_max_linewidth     = 1
      err_format            = 2

      err_bad_otf           = 4

Importing preconfig'd smart forms in ECC 6.0

I've done some searching, but wanted to see if anybody had a better solution.. it looks like you have to load the best practices baseline package in order to get the preconfigured smart forms in ECC 6.0. Is there ANY way to avoid having to do this and just be able to load the forms? Can you use the .SAR from the 4.7 preconfig CD on a 6.0 system or will that spell disaster?

I've gotten to that point, but at this time I have the 6.0 (2.600) best practices installation files, and the 4.70 smartforms installation files... however the first requires a best practices installation, and the second is a .SAR file which I believe can be loaded with SAINT/SPAM.
What I am trying to figure out is if there's a way to just extract the forms themselves out of the package so they can be uploaded rather than having to go through the prereq's for best practices and deal with the slew of OSS notes associated.

How to call and reuse smartforms from ECC to CRM?

Hi Experts,
I would like to seek help from all of you, I would like to know if it is possible to call and reuse smartforms created in ECC to CRM environment. The requirement is to create smartforms in ECC (R/3 system) and reuse and call it in CRM environment whenever the 'PREVIEW OUTPUT' button is ticked in CRM webclient. This is to reduce the creation of smartforms from both systems.
Hope to hear from all of you. Your help will be very much appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
Monica

You can not reuse it directly but I guess you can download form from ECC and then upload it to CRM. I guess based on your requirement you might end up with few changes to form in CRM to display correct data.

Is it possible to call a 9i Forms from a 6i Forms ?

Hello,
I have a customer using CRM 11.5.10.2 ( Database 9.2.0.6 / 6i Forms) and will be created a functionality in the CRM screen, where end user will call (via button) a custom application running on 9i Forms.
Customer believes that there is a technical limitation to achieve that. That is, call a 9i Forms from a 6i Forms.
Is it possible to call a 9i Forms from a 6i Forms ?
Thank you in advanced for help,
Marcos Souza.

I should have thought so, as Forms 9i is exclusively web-driven, so how you launch the URL is immaterial as long as you use a supported browser. As your Forms 9i apps will invariably be on a remote web server, you'll not encounter compatibility issues either. And Forms 6 and 9 development is possible on the same PC using multiple Oracle Homes. Ask Oracle beforehand if you are still not convinced.

Open iProcurement Smart form from a Third Party System

Hi,
I have a requirement to open the iProcurement smart form from a third party system. We have the Single Sign on functionality so the user can log into the oracle apps without entering the credentials.
Please share if someone has prior knowledge on that.
Thanks & Regards,
Munish Mittal

If the ICX_SESSION is already available then the form(I am assuming you are refering to a web based form here) should open directly if the function should be accessible to the user logged in. When you say your custom application is included in Oracle apps are you launching these pages from the Ebiz home page through menus and functions ?

How to call a Oracle Form from within the APEX

Hi,
I have a requirment where need to call a oracle form from within the Oracle APEX application?
I will appriciate if can someone help me out.
Thanks

Hi,
are you working with Forms 6i or 10g?
If you want to call a forms 10g page. Just use a button with javascript:
- Target type: URL
- URL Target: javascript:window.open ('http://<server>:<port>/forms/frmservlet?config=<conf>','Forms window');
With Forms 6i you can open the directory where your forms file is inside (works just with IE):
<script type="text/javascript">
function fnc_window() {w = open('C:\\FormsFiles', "winLov","scrollbars=yes,resizable=no,width=600,height=400");
if (w.opener == null)
w.opener = self;
</script>Or execute the forms file with vbscript (IE only):
<script language = "vbscript">
sub fnc_forms()
dim progName
progName = "c:\FormsFiles\myForm.exe"
set oShell = createobject("wscript.shell") 'create a shell
'***use the line below to call your app, defined above with the "progName" variable:
oShell.run(progName)
end sub
</script>
