Error on Online Interactive form:

hi,
i have encountered this error while trying out the Online Interactive form:
com.sap.tc.webdynpro.clientserver.adobe.pdfdocument.base.core.PDFDocumentRuntimeException: Severe : PDFDocument is NULL. Exception : Service call exception; nested exception is: java.net.UnknownHostException: pwdf3102. i do not know where is the root cause?

Hello,
Cause is a wrong configuration of the ADS web service client on your J2EE engine - this config is described in the ADS config guide.

    Hi,
    There are two options to do that, first by web service which suits best the offline scenario and another by server round trip which is possible in online scenario only.
    For web service scenario you have to create data binding in the form with web service data node, (search SDN for suitable document explaining the scenario with web service for more info). Every time the user will choose value from DD the web service will trigger to fetch data based on user input.
    Second scenario uses server round trip. In this method you have to call the submit method in web dynpro view with some conditions that it is called through DD to fetch values. Use some flag variable to differentiate between the final submit and DD value help submit.
    There is one more option but the performance of the form will get affected based on the data used for the DDs.
    In that method you have to maintain the data for each US, Europe, Asia in a table. Based on user input fetch value from that table in the specific dropdown using script on the form.

  • Online interactive form using ABAP

    Is it possible to create an ABAP program for Online Interactive form (NW 2004)? or do we need ABAP Webdynpro (NW 2004s)?
    We have implemented an offline scenario i.e. create an interactive PDF, fill the forms, save it, upload it and extract information from PDF.  It is working fine.  But we are not able to implement online interactive scenario.
    Any suggestion?
    Thanks,
    Pranav

    While SAP certainly does not recommend to create interactive scenarios from transaction SFP (please use Web Dynpro for such scenarios), it is not entirely correct to say that it is not possible.
    The issue we see is that SFP was created for output forms, i.e. "one way out of the system" (to print etc.). Interactive Forms is based on XML, which means that in ABAP you need to convert the ABAP structures to XML for generation of the PDF on the ADS, and - in interactive scenarios - on the return trip you need to convert the XML (in the PDF) back to ABAP structures. The conversion from ABAP to XML and vice versa is done in the background automatically by the Web Dynpro environment, which is why we recommend it for interactive use. There is no automatic back conversion in SFP, i.e. you'd need to handcode this - which means additional cost and potential for error.
    Hope this helps,
    Markus
    and, thanks, Eddy, for pointing out that the FAQs need an update...

  • DropDown in Online Interactive Forms Not working.

    HI:
    I am working on Online Interactive Form for Purchase Requisition.
    I have a dropdown in the dynamic table and I am trying to populate the same in DoInit().
    I am using the following code. But the drop down is displayed empty.
    DATA:
    lr_node_info type ref to if_wd_context_node_info,
    lt_value_set TYPE wdy_key_value_table,
    value_set_item TYPE wdy_key_value.
    types:  BEGIN OF TY_UOM,
            UOM TYPE T006-MSEHI,
            END OF TY_UOM.
    *Define Internal Table and work area.
    DATA: IT_UOM TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ty_uom,
          WA_UOM type ty_uom.
    lr_node_info = pr_node2->get_node_info( ).
    data j type i.
    j = 1.
    SELECT MSEHI FROM T006 INTO wa_UOM.

    Can any one tell me what is wrong with the above code? and provide a sample code for the same.
    Actually I have a dropdown for UOM in the table and trying to populate it.
    The hierarchy is as follows
    BAPI_REQUISITION_CRE ->CHANGING -> REQUISITION_ITEM->DATA->Unit
    Thanks

    Hi Thomson,
    Create a context node A with cardinality 1..1 and in this create a context node A1 with cardinality 0..n and in this node create attributes TEXT and VALUE.
    Now goto method and in that method using code wizard read the node A1.
    And use the below code snippet sample in your program
    *Declare the TYPES
    TYPES :  BEGIN OF TY_TABLE,
                   TEXT  TYPE SOMETYPE,
                   VALUE TYPE SOMETYPE,
                  END OF TY_UOM.
    *Define Internal Table and work area.
    DATA : IT_TABLE TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF TY_TABLE INITIAL SIZE 0,
               WA_TABLE TYPE TY_TABLE.
    SELECT TEXT VALUE FROM TABLENAME INTO TABLE IT_TABLE.
    lr_node_info->bind_table( IT_TABLE ).
    And in the Adobe Form Layout
    Go to Menu of the Adobe LiveCycle Designer:
    Tools>Options..>DataBinding
    In that window u just check the Show Dynamic properties Check Box.
    Now for the Drop Down go the binding tab in object palette and click on the list items and there specify the text as the internal table text field and value as internal table value field and select the internal table.

  • Dynamic  table in Online Interactive form

    Hi,
    Scenario:
       I am doing an Online Interactive form scenario in WebDynpro for Java. In the form, i will be having a dynamic table(the number of rows will grow and shrink, with the help of ADD and DELETE ROW buttons). Initially, that table will have only one empty row.
    Imp: The fields in the table are bound to the data source node, whose cardinality is 1..n. (I want the data enetered in the table in Interactive form, to be updated in the WebDynpro context also).
    Problem: After deploying the application,
      I fill the first row, click ADD button. A new empty row is created. No problem here.
      I fill the second row. Then, when I click the ADD button, a new row is created, but with the values in second row.  
    Even if i create 10 new rows, the values are repeating in all those rows. If I change the value in a row, it reflects in all rows(except first row).
    Note: If the table fields are not bound to any data source node, then I dont have the above mentioned problem.
    Thanks,
    Prabhakar.

    Hi,Prabhakar
    In the note 1090464 It says that this is a limitation of the Subform Instance Controls(the same in table ui element).
    It looks like currently the only workaround is to build in advance empty nodes but then it limits the number of rows in your table.

  • Editing online interactive forms using Acrobat XI Pro

    Our organization recently purchased Adobe Acrobat XI Pro in hopes of using it to create and convert many of our forms to electronic format.  We recently tried opening an existing online interactive form to edit it and it says "This form cannot be edited in Acrobat.  Please use Adobe LiveCycle Designer to edit this form".  Did we purchase the wrong product for what we are trying to do?  I'm in panic mode because we are very new to this type of editing and I hope we didn't purchase the wrong thing.  Any suggestions?

    There are two kinds of PDF forms: Acrobat forms and LiveCycle Designer
    forms. The latter are actually XML files and can only be edited in
    LiveCycle Designer, which used to be bundled with Acrobat Pro but is not
    any more. If your forms were created in LCD then you need to purchase that
    application as well if you want to edit them.

  • Possible to retrieve data from the backend using online interactive form ?

    Hello All,
      I am currently developing an online interactive form and in it, a textbox which allows user to search for employee data in the backend in the event that the default name is not correct. However, I noticed that in the proerty field of my interactiveform, there is only OnCheck and OnSubmit. Is it possible for me to make a search in the backend and have the results returned to my adobe form again ?
    from
    Kwok Wei

    Hi Kwok Wei,
    OnSubmit and OnCheck work in the same way. So if you need 2 buttons in your form then you can use both of these.
    I have never tried passing parameters but you can define context attributes and assign values. Later these can be accessed from the onSubmit Method.

  • F4 help in online interactive forms using ABAP

    Hi,
    Question 1:
                     I am able to get f4 help in online interactive form using ABAP. but after selecting the value from pop-up the value is not populated in PDF field. Can u help regardiing this.
    Question 2:
                     I am able to get f4 help in online interactive form using value help dropdown, first time if i click the dropdown button it is showing the popup, if i click second time it is not showing the popup.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Krishna

    Hi,
    1. I you are woking from the Web Dynpro for ABAP then after binding the Context variable in the view, and in the Adobe Layout Designer from the Library goto WebDynpro Native Tab and drag and drop the Value Help and for this automatically JavaScript is being generated, go that script and edit the line
    Var fieldname = "yourfieldname";
    Note: dont forget to link the context attribute to search help. ie. in the context properties of the attributes select the input help mode as dictionary search help and specify the name of the search help present in data dictionary.
    And now go to Utilities and click on u201CInsert Web Dynpro Scriptu201D.
    Also make sure that you specify the Layout as ZCI Layout in the Propertioes of the Adobe Form.
    2. Only the Submit button , the Enumerated Drop-Down List as well as the Value help button from the Web Dynpro Native library of Adobe LiveCycle Designer are supported. Check SAP Note: 1098009

  • OVS Search Help in Web Dyrnpro Java Online Interactive Form

    Hi Experts,
    Is there any  OVS Search Help control we can use in Online Interactive Form as a as we have in Web Dynpro java. Can we assign this search help to any existing control.
    If it is not possible can we call a Web Dynpro View as a popup from Intefactive Form such that field search can be done in popup window and on selection the resultant record should populate to Interactive Form control.
    Please suggest me feasible solutions
    Thanks

  • Online Interactive form - ZCI Layout

    Hi All,
    I'm creating an online form on release 701 level 2 and am having problems with ZCI layout.
    I have created forms before with this layout to use feautures such as search help.
    Can anyone tell me what the latest recommended layout format is, ZCI or Standard?
    With Standard layout my form interface binding works but search helps lock up the form after use but with ZCI the search help works but only the field with the help is bound to my interface successfully on the submit method.
    I have reverted back to Adobe Reader 8.2 but this is still extremely flaky.
    Thanks,
    Gregor

    Hi Chintan,
    Yes the script has been inserted. The more I look at this the more I am thinking that online interactive forms are not fit for purpose.
    I guess there are some use cases but a web dynpro page would serve this purpose better with better integration into SAP etc.
    I am using version 8.2 of Adobe Designer but keeping versions of Designer and Reader and different versions of the ZCI script in line is not feasible. Adobe Reader can auto update so what if a user has updated from 8.2 to 8.3 and suddenly all the forms stop working?
    I understand that integrating between the browser and the embedded PDF is no mean feat but I'm going to stick to using Adobe Forms for offline use or print outputs.

  • F4 Help online interactive form

    Hi,
    Im designing an online interactive form in WD ABAP. I got the context from a BAPI and mapped to view context. Now how to map F4 field from data view to UIelemnt?
    Im dragging value help dropdown list from webdynpro activex palette to the form and selecting that field from dataview and dropping on the value help dropdown which i placed before. Doing like this the field is changing to text filed.
    Is this the right of way doing for getting f4 helps in to interactive form? Should my filed in dataview should have anyother properties to be a f4 help?
    Can some one help me on this?
    Regards,
    J.Smitha

    Hi Jawaji,
    Here is a note about input helps...
    [Note 1035630 - ISR WebDynpro ABAP UI: Input helps from ABAP Dictionary|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1035630]
    Also, when you defined your form, under the properties tab, what did you select for the Layout Type?  There is:
    - Unknown Layout Type,
    - xACF Layout
    - ZCI Layout
    - Standard Layout
    You should be choosing the ZCI Layout.  Then from inside your form, you want to select the Value Help Dropdown List from the Web Dynpro Native library, not the ActiveX one, unless your form is of type xACF.
    Once you have the element on the screen, go to the Object tab and select the Binding tab.  Under Default Binding, navigate to the field that you want bound to the dropdown.
    Next, select the Field tab.  You should see a parameter there called List Items.  If it is not green and underlined green, click on the little black triangle that points to the right, and select Show Dynamic Properties.
    Then click on the green List Items link.  Inside the popup, you want to put the following line of code in the Items binding:
    $record.sap-vhlist.FIELD_NAME\.DATA\.FIELD.item[*]
    where FIELD_NAME is the name of the field that you have previously bound to the dropdown.  I'm not 100% sure on this line, this is what works when developing an HCM Process & Form form.
    Hope this helps...
    Cheers,

  • Saving an Online Interactive Form onto Client PC and UWL query

    Hi all,
                I am pretty new to Adobe Interactive Forms and i have 2 questions which i hope someone can shed some light on.
    1) Is it possible to save an Online Interactive Form after entering data as a PDF softcopy onto a local client machine before submission to the SAP R/3 system? This form is embedded in a Webdynpro App that is accessed through the portal.
    2) I wish to integrate the Adobe Interactive Forms together with an approval workflow that is accessed through the portal UWL. I am wondering if my form needs to be embedded in a webdynpro app that allows an approver to view the filled in form filled in by the requestor. In addition, if the approver rejects the form, is it possible for the requestor to make the changes on the rejected form directly through the UWL or must the requestor create a new form?
    Thank you all for your time and expertise! =)

    Its an interesting idea. but I think it would be better if your students download Eclipse Europa IDE (or similiar IDE) and learn how to work with it. The vendor spent over 20,000,000 dollors on creating it and your application is attempting to create an on-line IDE that will not have nearly as much functionality. I don't want to discurage you, but I suggest a different project. Alternatively, If you want, you can create a tutorial on setting up the IDE and how to create a simple project in it and launch it. Then again, there are probably a lot of other on-line examples already on this this. On the other hand, your application is great practice on updating your java skills.
