Error While selecting Layout option in tcode SFP

Hi
I am getting the below error when i select the layout option in tcode SFP.
Could not start Layout Designer (see long text)
Message no. FPUIFB086
Diagnosis
The forms design tool for developing the form layout could not be started; either it is not installed or there are errors in the installation.
Procedure
Make sure that you have the forms design tool installed on your desktop (the tool is part of the SAPGUI installation).
Also read SAP Note 801524.
How to resolve this error?
Regards,
Abdul Hakim

Hi Hakim,
See the sap note below:
Symptom
Presentation CD 1 "SAP GUI for Windows 6.40" Compilation 3 references this note for additional components.
For information about where to find the successive version of the installation component
"Forms Design Tool" - "Adobe Forms Designer"
refer to Note 962763.
Reason and Prerequisites
This note describes two possible installation procedures:
Direct installation on the workstation
Update installation server (for administrators)
Solution
Direct installation on the workstation
Product: "SAP Interactive Forms" - "Adobe LiveCycle Designer"
              Start "ALDsetup. exe" directly on your workstation. If you had already installed an older version of "Adobe Designer 6.0" using "SAP GUI" or "SAP NetWeaver Development Studio", you first need to delete the older "Forms Design Tool" version in the corresponding installation.
Update installation server:
If you have integrated an SAP GUI installation server with
6.40 Compilation 3
6.40 Compilation 2
6.20 Compilation 6
you can add the following product:
Product: "SAP Interactive Forms" - "Adobe LiveCycle Designer":
              To do this, start the program
              "..\setup\ALDtoGUIServer.exe"
              and specify the network path for an existing SAP GUI installation server. After this procedure, you can see the new "Interactive Forms" component in the component selection dialog box of the SAP GUI installation when you attach a new installation package with SAPAdmin. The installation on the workstation is then started as usual using "setup.exe" or "netsetup.exe".
Caution:
Some files on your existing installation server may still be write-protected (read-only).
Make sure that all files in the two directories
"...\Adobe\"
"...\Common Files\"
are not write-protected.
To do this, open a DOS box (input request) and switch to the directory of the installation server and set
attrib -r /s "Common Files\*.*"
attrib -r /s "Adobe\*.*"
before you start "..\setup\ALDtoGUIServer.exe".
Otherwise, you may receive the following error message:
"... .cab cannot be extracted. It may be corrupt."

Design mode troubles - "Error during component layout."

Hi all.
Since this is getting pretty annoying, I thought someone might know the right solution to this. Whenever I try to open Design mode on my AIR app (Spark + MX), I get:
Design mode: Error during component layout. Choose Design > Refresh to refresh design mode.    MyTestApp.mxml    /MyTestApp/src    Unknown    Problem
The MXML code for it is as simple as it can get:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:WindowedApplication xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
                            xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
                            xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
                            skinClass="spark.skins.spark.SparkChromeWindowedApplicationSkin"
                            >
</s:WindowedApplication>
And app descriptor XML only contains transparent set to true and systemChrome to none, even tho it shouldn't make any difference in the Design view anyway. Refresh doesn't solve the error, and sometimes the Design view itself goes into infinite loop of refreshing.
However, if I remove the skinClass, it all works fine and Design view loads (but then I don't get the window chrome on run-time). Same goes if I declare the skin within <fx:Style /> tag, it only breaks when using skinClass attribute in the WindowedApplication declaration. And the same thing happens if I try to edit some of the Spark skins in the Design view.
I've tried creating a new project, switching workspaces, building a blank workspace, switching from Flex SDK 4.1 to 4.0 - all to no avail, the same error always occurs and it never goes away.
Any ideas?

Instead of declaring the skin within the WindowedApplication tag, you have to call the Skin class from a Style tag right after you close your window tag:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:WindowedApplication xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
Xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
title="YOUR APP">
<fx:Style>
@namespace s "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark";
s|WindowedApplication
skinClass:ClassReference("spark.skins.spark.SparkChromeWindowedApplicationSkin");
background-color:#999999;
background-alpha:"0.7";
</fx:Style>

Design mode: Error during component layout. Choose Design Refresh to refresh design mode.

Description Resource Path Location Type
Design mode: Error during component layout. Choose Design > Refresh to refresh design mode. etPlayer.mxml /etPlayer/src Unknown Problem
Refreshing wont work..
any ideas?

Some elements can cause the design view to break, it recently happened to me and this was my solution.
I began by commenting out most of the visual elements from code and going back and forth to design view to try and get it working.
Finally I narrowed it down to the "ToggleButtonBar" component. After I commented this line out the design view was up and running.
This might not be the solution but it will get you back up and running.

Adobe layout design is not coming

Hi Everyone,
In my webdynpro abap or in Adbe form creation in SFP also the Adobe layout design is not coming. Displaying an error message stating that ' Could Not start Layout Design'. Can any reply me the root cause for this Adobe layout problem.

Hi,
There could be two reasons for this.
1. Check under ABAP connection in SM59 for ADS service running or not. It must be active. You may test the connection or check with Basis Team as well.
2. You need to install Adobe Life Cycle Designer in your system OR the latest SAP GUI ( This contains by default Adobe Life Cycle Designer)
Let me know if this helps you.
Thanks & Regards,

Exception condition DP_ERROR_GET_DATA is triggered in SFP layout

Hi All,
I am working on Adobe Froms in transaction SFP .When i am clicking on the layout.It is raising the below exception.
A RAISE statement in the program "SAPLCNDP" raised the exception
condition "DP_ERROR_GET_DATA".
Since the exception was not intercepted by a superior
program, processing was terminated.
I have adobe desginer 8.0 and SAP GUI patch 7.10.But is still giving the exception.
Can you please let me know how to solve the issue.
Thanks
Swapna.

Were you able to resolve your problem?
I'm having the same problem. Initially I had SAPGui Patch 7.10 and Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.1 and everything was working fine, but tech service pushed SAPGui Patch 7.20 down to everyone PC and now we all get the same runtime error when trying to open SFP Layout.
Exception condition "DP_ERROR_GET_DATA" raised.
I've tried repairing SAP Gui patch 7.20 and re-installing Adobe LiveCycle Designer, but still no luck.

Print Layout Designer or Crystal.....! What to do?

Dear All,
We need to link our User forms to Print layouts in order to make our reports work exactly the way SAP reports work. Is there a way to enable the print and print preview toolbar buttons and make them show our Report Layout? So far the response from SDK Forum is not encouraging and many questions regarding the same issue remain unanswered there.
After looking for the solution in the SDK Forums we came across these two replies from Mr. Nick He and Mr.Frank Moebius. Both are of the opinion that currently SAP does not offer a support for this feature and better use a third party tool. We are not in a position right now to opt for any third party tool but if we get a clear response from your side regarding this matter, we can go for it. Kindly have a look at the following links:
Re: Print Layout Design for user form in SapBusinessOne2005A(6.80.317) sp:01.?
Re: Add PLD Layouts in 2005 through sdk
The recommended solution within SAP B1 to develop Add-on reports is through User Queries and creating a Print Layout and run them via Query Manager Window. This approach in our view has the following drawbacks that make it less friendly with the end user:
1. Add-on forms appear in the left pane/menu, whereas reports would have to run through Query Manager only, which is in fact a small toolbar button on the top right side. We can add the Query Manager link to user menu but it doesnt solve the problem.
2. A user with full authorization over the Print Layout can accidentally overwrite it by clicking the Create Report Button, whereas in case of SAP Reports the Layouts remain unchanged and only saved as a new Layout and set as Default Layout for a report. Add-on Reports cannot do this.
3. Different behavior of Layouts in Query Manager on Single Click and Double Click. In the Query Manager, if a user just selects a query by a Single Click and views a Print Preview (Layout) then the custom user Layout appears. But if a user Double clicks a query then the Query Window appears, exposing the query and making it editable. Also the Preview(Layout) is different in this case. The user can either view the Window or Table Layout in this case. Hence this exercise would make the user confused and prone to errors.
4. The Parameter/Criteria window that is SAP generated is not enough to fulfill user friendly interface requirements. Is there a way to add List boxes or Combos to that form. The parameter selection Checkboxes also behave in a strange way that even the experts find difficult to manipulate. If they are of no use, whats the point in having them on the form in the first place.
All these points are leading us to confusion over the decision as to whether go for Query Based Reports or use Third Party tools. Kindly help us out in this regard. Your response would help us save some valuable time for our Add-on Development.

<<< If there is a solution then it has to be from SDK. We can only opt for third party components and frameworks only if any of the SAP representatives ensure us that the current version of SDK does not offer such support.>>>
The answer to that is to lodge your query as an Issue to SAP directly as a support question or go through your local SAP representative. If the functionality is not offered by SAP you can do a Development Request ( DRQ) and SAP will develop it if they think it will become userful.
<<<If this Forum is not meant to be answered by SAP representatives then kindly tell me any other Technical Support Portal from where i can get the answer directly. >>>
This forum is accessed mostly by SAP Business One Developers on SDK. However we are fortunate that some SAP employees who are very knowledgeble take some time off to answer queries.
Since it is a Forum, no one is obliged to answer. As indicated above , Try SAP directly if you need a definite answer.
<<<>>>
Since you mentioned Crystal: We as SAP Business One SDK developers, have come across similar issues and opted for a Inhouse developed Crystal Solution. It has been so popular we are selling it as a Generic add-on to B1.

Print layout designer for develop report based on query

Dear Experts/Gurus,
I am amazing about the manage previous reconciliation report. When I opened it using print layout designer, it looks like the report is not built using query, but I am not sure yet. This is very confusing. I created query similar with manage previous reconciliation (MPR), but when I link the query to print layout and try to make similar format/appearance with MPR report (reconciliation management (system)), it is not success.
Isn't the MPR report built not based on query ? I appreciate your answer. TIA
Rgds,

Hi,
I am not sure I understand what's the problem:
Is it the layout that is different or the data?
Regarding the data you can use SQL Profiler (maybe you did?) to find out what queries are fired, but please note that there are some stored procedures in the DB that are used for some specific functions - not sure whether the "MPR" uses any of these.
Then you must include some non-default filter in SQL Profiler...
...but you can also use the logging functionality in B1 for that purpose:
Just activate the logging (see the "log" folder in the B1 subdirectory) in the corresponding config file: choose the option to have the SQLs logged in conjunction with the logging being triggered in all cases (not just error).
Thus you will get all the SQLs - just plain - from the B1 application, but note that it will obviously slow it down!
HTH,
Frank

Error while saving layout for report

Using BIEE 11. (Win64 Server 2003 R2 - russian edition)
When designing layout for report and putting text field (dos'nt matter - russ or engl) - I get an error during saving - 'Error when saving layout' (trunslated from russ)
This happens only when putting text field, with other types of filds all is ok!
Where can I find more detailed info about my error?
Also when I choose layout from existing e.g. - Dashboard.xpt and save - I get the same error. When I cut off all text fields from this template - I can successfully save it.
Thanks

Check the OSS note 550760 regarding the issue.

Limited Logistic cannot change open Print Layout Designer?

Dear Experts,
My customer has multiple Purchase Order layouts, they are using Limited Logistic user license and have full authorization to Change Default Report.
However, when they click on the Print Layout Designer, the pencil icon from toolbar, an error message prompt, You cannot open Window [60213] Type List Form with your current license.
Online License Authorization document that i have read does not provide details information about Limited Logistic vs Print Layout Designer.
Can someone please advice me is it SAP limited logistic license design or is it a bug or is it some setting has been done wrongly?
Thanks.
Regards,
Lay Chin

Hi Gordon,
The SAP Note No: 1223477 is indicating what happend last time. But for the new customers who start using SAP B1 8.8, when they purchases limited logistic, they get limited logistic license with the correct access right defined in https://websmp203.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700000953982007E, no more professional license is given.
Below statement is quoted from SAP Support Portal:-
New user types are now enforced
The new user types that have been introduced in the SAP Business One pricing and licensing model are now enforced in the SAP Business One 8.8 application: The limited users and indirect users are implemented; the use of the add-on access user is re-defined (this user will now be a normal user).
Please correct me if I understand the statement wrongly.
Thanks.

Lay Chin
