Executing SAP BAPIs in Adobe Workflow Server

Hello there,
I'm trying to use the following BAPIs to create an absence record for employee using a web enabled form with Adobe workflow:
BAPI_ABSENCE_CREATESIMULATION
BAPI_ABSENCE_CREATE
But it seems they are not stable? Or at least do not give the expected results.
The dates are correct and there is no conflict with the SAP calendar.
Dose any one know a better way to create the absence record? Is there any RFC to do that? Or should I use ALE/IDoc to post the transaction?
Many Thanks

Hi Harish,
Create an action in web dynpro which carries out the business processing. Assign this action to InteractiveForm UI element's onSubmit event.
This specifies that when you click the SubmitToSAP button in the form, the event onSubmit is triggered which actually executes the code provided in the Action.
Steps:
when you go to interactive form's properties,
you can see in the Events' section two events....
1).onCheck
2).onSubmit
just create an action for onSubmit event and choose the action from onSubmit dropdown in the Properties of Interactive form.
just go to the implementation of the same view and you will find a method for it already created for you to write your code in.
In addition also make sure that you have installed the xACF component on the client machine.
Hope this helps.

The AWS appl. does come with prebuilt reports incl. You should check the documentation concerning installation, but I believe AWS requires the Crystal Engine to be installed on the same server as the AWS Web Access component.

Synchronous processing of dat file using Adobe Output Server

Hello everyone
I have a doubt regarding Adobe Output Server. Currently my output server is running as a window service named "Adobe Central Output Server" in my machine referring to executable path E:\Jetform\Central\Control\jfservic.exe. It keeps on running irrespective of whether .dat file is present for further processing or not. In case .dat is there in data folder[location where my code writes into .dat file] it picks it up and does all the processing to give the result in form of Print/Fax. But when there is no .dat file present , still the service keeps on running consuming memory & cpu resource.
Curently my code drops a .dat file in data folder and dont bother about what happens to that .dat file afterwards. Its Adobe Output Server service that is running that keeps on monitoring data folder for any new dat file to process them further.
I want to stop that window service permanently and i wish to change some logic in my code so that as and when my program drops a .dat file in Data folder then i invoke Adobe Output Server or some of its component so that it picks up that dat file and does all the processing to generate Print/Fax and once its done with processing , the execution of Adobe central server ends. And it remains dead till its invoked by the program to process a new dat file.
So basically i was wondering whether there is possibiliy of invocation of Adobe Output Server is available or not for synchronous processing of dat file from the code.
Any suggestions , any ideas , any doubts on it are most welcome.

How to call a SAP service from adobe flex

Hi experts,
I need to call a webservice create from SAP BAPI my URL is: http://xxxxxxxxx:8000/sap/bc/srt/wsdl/bndg_DD90E166ACE1B1F18AD8001B789FF0AD/wsdl11/allinone/ws_policy/document?sap-client=200, with this URL I can test the webservice from WsNavigator.
The operation is ZimrfcVerifOtUbica and the input structure is:
ZimrfcVerifOtUbica
> PiNumeroAlmacen (input parameter)
> PiOTransporte (input parameter)
The output structure is:
ZimrfcVerifOtUbicaResponse
>PoMessage (output parameter)
I've created a view with two inputfield (one to PiNumeroAlmacen, one to PiOTransporte), one button and one label (to put the result value).
but I don't know how to call the WS, I tried with this code:
<mx:WebService id="ZCCONVERTERService"
 wsdl="http://xxxxxxxxx:8000/sap/bc/srt/wsdl/bndg_DD90E166ACE1B1F18AD8001B789FF0AD/wsdl11/allinone/ws_policy/document?sap-client=200;" useProxy="false" >
 <mx:operation name="ZimrfcVerifOtUbica" resultFormat="e4x">
 <mx:request >
 <PiNumeroAlmacen>AGR</PiNumeroAlmacen>
 <PiOTransporte>01000</PiOTransporte>
 </mx:request>
 </mx:operation >
 </mx:WebService>
and I get this error: [RPC Fault faultString="Could not load WSDL" faultCode="Server.NoServicesInWSDL" faultDetail="No <wsdl:service> elements found in WSDL at ."].
I tried with actionscript and runtime library but I get this error: java.lang.Exception: Unsupported element in WSDL file: UnknownExtensibilityElement
I tried put in Data--> Import Web Service and I put the URL and I get Unable to load the WSDL. Specify another URI.
Other thing is for this webservice I've created a logic destination, and this webservice is used in a webdynpro aplication and works correctly. But now I need to use the same webservice in flex.
Could you help me to call to this webservice?
Thanks in advance.

I have could do it, but now I'm trying to do the same with a SAP standard service.
Any idea?

2) SAP client already installed and worked ok on the same host as the JCAPS

Any help is appreciated

Hi Yermek.
I guess you are placed and set all jars relates to bapi/rfc.
You need to pass atleast one parameter from jcd which will initiates the BAPI connection.
i.e atleast from jcd you need to send a request.
Hope it will work...
Thanks,

Adobe QT32 Server.exe Premiere CS6 Pro and Media Encoder

Hi,
Been having intermittent issues with this. I'll be trying to render, or even just scrubbing through a clip in the timeline and Adobe Media Core CS6 has stopped working pops up:
Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: APPCRASH
Application Name: Adobe QT32 Server.exe
Application Version: 6.0.5.0
Application Timestamp: 5211c5c2
Fault Module Name: ntdll.dll

Additional Information 4: e8adce1c2b9e7be834b4063ac3c53863
Doesn't always do it, but now I've found an instance where it's reliably repeatable. As I scrub through a certain part of the footage, it crashes. Or it crashes at the same point during rendering.
I've succesfully edited and rendered clips made from the same cameras, recorder (Tricaster 410) - even from the same actual media file. I've tried updating QuickTime, uninstalling, reinstalling QuickTime, doing windows updates, updating GPU drivers from Nvidia, clearing media cache DB, launching Premiere while holding shift. Nothing makes a difference.
System is an 2 CPU Intel Xeon E5-2687W 3.1 GHz, 64GB RAM running Win7 Pro 64.
Anyone have any suggestions that don't involve reinstalling CS6?

...BE AWARE.....the newest versions of PPro CC 2014 contain a "fix" for your problems with the .MOV 32 bit codec. Somehow, .MOVs are NOW handled in a 64 bit environment by PPro which REMOVES the CRIPPLING use of the 32 bit Quirktime process, and ALLOWS much greater memory to be used than the old 4 GB limit.......I've seen the DRASTIC improvement myself on my Haswell laptop. I am not sure about Media Encoder, however, it would be STUPID if the same improvement was not also made with THAT program. CS6 does NOT have this improvement.....and WILL not updated to get it. If I return to PPro 5.5....the "old" crappy performance returns with Canon MOVs......even on a TWICE as powerful machine !!!!.....UGH !!!
....Better to submit to the "subscription model" and its pecadillos that try to edit with a QUIRKTIME hobbled workflow !!!!

Error in SAP BAPI

Hello,
I'm getting a error while trying to create a SAP BAPI OTD using the Enterprise Designer. After I give the client number, username and password and click next the following error comes
Error in getBapiList(): Cannot convert field ID of type NUM to int
Do I need to configure something on the SAP server?
Cheers,
Deepak

This has been resolved. It was happenning because of the unicode settings of the SAP system and I was giving non unicode in the OTD setting. However, I'm facing another problem.
SAP ALE eway is not appearing in my designer. I have installed both SAP ALE and SAP BAPI eway and then uploaded those in the edesginer through the upload center. In the connectivity map drop down it shows the SAP BAPI eway but not the SAP ALE eway. I have done everything which is mentioned in the documents.

Workflow Questions - How to execute the steps in a workflow automatically?

I am using MDM 5.5 SP6.
My Question is how to execute the steps in the workflow automatically. That means NO user interaction.
I have a simple workflow, Start- Process -- Syndicate - Stop.
When a new record added /updated/inserted this workflow will start automatically. The workflow inbox, the workflow status is u2018Receivedu2019 Step is u2018Processu2019. Now I have to right click on the record then u2018Next Stepu2019 then click on u2018Syndicateu2019 then workflow completes automatically.
How to execute the Syndication step automatically?. I donu2019t want to have any user interaction to syndicate these records.
Is this possible?
The reason for this is I want to do some field validation and based on the field validation some assignments then then I want to syndicate these records without user interaction..

Hi,
If you want to do some validations and then based on result assignments on some of the fields before syndicating, then you have to use workflow. Only syndication server will not fulfill this requirement.
you may try by making validation's automatic property as "Error". This way it will not allow to add any record not fulfilling validation. You can also try using calculated fields instead of assignment.
I am not sure if you can make your workflow fully automatic, because atleast one process step is must for any workflow, and process step means user action.

Shiv

INBOUND MAIL PROCESSING in SAP for Offline ADOBE FORM Concept

Hi to all,
Please can anyone tell me, what INBOUND MAIL PROCESSING in SAP for Offline ADOBE FORM?
What is concept and how to use it, is any program need to write for that or only need to configure it.
I have searched the SDN, but only get topic how to configure inbound mail processing.
I am new to this area; please any one put some light on it.
I shall be thankful to you for this.
Regards
Pavneet Rana

Hi Pavneet,
Inbound processing of an offline adobe form consists of several things -
a) an email id to be created on the server (to accept the mail & process the adobe form - this needs to have the right roles)
b) the smtp config needs to be done by basis
c) the abap developer needs to create a handler class that gets called when an email is recd in SAP. This handler class has 3-4 methods (first to read the mail and extract the pdf, convert data in pdf to the abap variable, process the form to do the specific function in sap (which will vary from requirement to another).
I found this blog very useful when I was getting my adobe form done -
/people/thomas.jung3/blog/2004/09/09/receiving-e-mail-and-processing-it-with-abap--version-610-and-higher
Hope this helps.
Cheers, Liz
(ps: you might get more help in the adobe form specific forum in sdn)
