F4 Help in HCM Forms

Hi,
I have a interactive form.
im using HCM Process & forms tool,this uses ABAP BAsed interface.
Now i would like to F4 help for a field(PA0007-SCHKZ).
This field is having Explicit search help(H_T508A).
Nowi binded the interface field and assigned the variable name of drop down thru scripting using Value Help control.
But Value help is not populated in form.
Is there any thing missing
does explicit search help is supported for value help.
Thanks ,
Nachy

1. We have analyzed the solution implemented for standard process based on you can follow two ways as below.
a . HR_PD_MOVE_POSITION. This process uses WD ABAP Component
HRASR_C_POSITION to provide the search help.
The WD ABAP Component HRASR_C_POSITION inturn uses Component
OBJECTDATAPROVIDER and OADP object ASR_POS_SEARCH.
b. to use ISR Native library, and use 'ISR Text Edit- Value Help'.
A pop-up with search list will be displayed,though we would not have thefiltering option, but the scroll bar.
2. HCM Processes and Forms does not support the use of
OVS and EVS. Also, WD ABAP and WD JAVA are two differents applications
and therefore there can be a few differences in implementations of
certain functionalities.
In WD ABAP, we can achieve the desired functionality (with filter) with
'FORM_WINDOW' control.

Issue with SAP_PD Service in HCM Forms

Hi Experts,
I am facing this issue when trying to create/update a Position using HCM Forms.
We have the HCM_ASR_CL_2 Business Function Activated
We are on EHP4.
I am trying to create/update a position using forms - SAP_PD Service and facing the below mentioned issue -
When I am trying to add the Object Type S in the LEAD_OBJECT_ID, I get the error - Object type S not supported.
As a workaround that I got from a help.sap - 3.In the navigation pane, go toValidity Period.Enter Start Object Type as S = Job, enter Application Type as PD. - Even this workaround doesnt work!
Am I missing some config here?
Also, once we activate the Business Function - do we get the node for SAP_PD in IMG just as we have for SAP_PA and SAP_PT service?
Please help!!!
Thanks

Error: Organizational Assignment created via Orgnizational Management in HCM form

Hi All,
I am getting below error while moving an EE to certain position via HCM form.
I have cheked and found that if an org unit is to be assigned to another cost center in Organizational management from a certain date, this action generates a new record in infotype 0001 for integrated persons from the date of assignment to the new cost center and if we perform any action which would be deleting the new record (created from OM) in IT0001 then this error would populate.
Here is the the same case a new Cost Centre has been assigned with the orgunit and a new record is creaed in IT0001 from the OM but when I am performing the same action via PA40 then I not getting any error, the error is occuring from the form only.
Can you please help me to resove this error and provide me the reason why it is not occring when I am performing the same action from PA40.
Regards,
Mayank

Hi Mayank,
I think you will be triggering Job Salary Form for the action you have mentioned. Please check in the Tcode HRASR_DT for the form name as I have show below from my development system. In Back-End services - SAP_PA - Infotypes and Operations and for Infotype 0001 check what is the operation that you have maintained.. It should be "change" to avoid the error message.
For PA40 action you would have configured the same as "change" thats why you are not getting error message in PA40.
Thanks,

How to Edit a custom HCM form directly after Employee selection?

Hi All,
As per the requirement, the Manager should have a tab in Portal called "Forms and Processess" and on click of that he should see a Page with few hyperlinks . Each hyperlink is the name of a HCM Form.
So, the Manager will click on one of them to start a particular form. ex. One time payment
After clicking, he should have the Employee search result having Direct reports under STEP "Select Employees".. But the next STEP has to be "Edit" instead of "Select Process" and the Form "One time payment" should directly Open for him to work on.
Please help me providing the relevant information and the approach. Let me know if you need any additional information.
Regards
DK

Hi Experts,
We have a requirement to attach a document in the Adobe Interactive form used for Employee recruitment process.
The document will be stored in the user's local machine.
We are using HRASR_DT to design the recruitment process.
We are not able to open the document from HCM form.
Can anybody help us resolving the same?
~BiSu

Hello,
I don´t understand when/who/how do you attach files. I also don´t understand what does not work: who cannot read the attachments? The machine/SAP system or the user? In the step after the step when the attachments were attached? Orin any stpe? Please elaborate a little. This seems like a difficult problem (at least for me) and any additionl info could help a lot here.

HCM Forms

Hi Experts,
1) Can you please explain what are the benefits of using HCM forms over Interactive adobe forms developed using ABAP
    workbench or Netweaver Developer Studio?
2) When Adobe forms can be independently desinged and developed, why do we need HCM Froms? The interactive forms
    developed using ALD can be dirtectly plugged in to the workflows. How exactly will HCM form bring benefits to the table?
    Please Explain.
2) What all changed in EHP3 and EHP4 and what is their Impact on WebDynoproJava based applications in the ESS MSS
    business package?
3) Will ESS MSS EhP4 have all the applications in web dynpro ABAP only or will still continue to have the Java stack supported
    by SAP? If java stack is supported, then what will be the kind of impact of developing/ customizing the ESS MSS applications
    using web dynpro java?
Thanks and Regards,

HCM forms and Processes - Adobe

Hi,
I am working on HCM forms and processes( not QISRs ). I want to populate a drop down list based on the selection of another dropdown list, how can we acheive this in Adobe forms. Should I go about configuring some back end generic service? if so how will the backend service get triggered based on my selection.. Any idea on this is highly appreciated
Thanks.

Hi
To archive above functionality we can use below simple method, if u r expectig same functionality through operations and custom event give me some time i need to recall some functioality(At present i am unable to acces MY SAP)
Let my BADI name is   Z_Positions .
Letu2019s define two attributes in my BADI like E_DATE and DD1.
For to understand better create one methods as same as input and out parameters of Get_Help_Values method.
So my methods is F4_Vac_Pos
Method:- F4_Vac_Pos
            Read the entered value of the Effective date (by reading service datasets with passing key as filename =E_Date)
Once if we able to read the Effective date, cheek is initialize are not(value is there or not).
     If it is not initialize go ahead else return.
     If it is not initialize fill all vacant positions in DD1 based on by passing key as readied
                   Effective date.
Call this methods in get_help_values method.
From Configuration side:-
Created Effective_date and F4_DD1attributes.
Add your custom generic service to form (let assume service no is 200 ).
Go to the assignment of custom generic service; map the F4_DD1 form attributes to the BADI attribute DD1 and cheek default value and value help.
The same way map form Effective_date attribute to BADI E_date (donu2019t select value help option)
Now adobe java script:-
Write the below piece of code on click method of button
xfa.record.CONTROL_PARAM.ISR_EVENT.value = "USER_EVENT_CHECK";
ContainerFoundation_JS.SendMessageToContainer(event.target, "submit", "", "", "", "");
Data Flow:-
Once the date is selected, click on the Button. As we know already for every round trip get_help_values method will call. Now it will call.
As already effective date value is mapped to one of the custom badi attribute, so we are able to read this value through service data set.
While filling DD1 values we are filtering data based on effective date. Now at badi level we are filtered vacant position based on effective date.
As this one is mapped to F4_DD1 form attribute, once round trip is completed u will see filtered vacant position based on effective date.

HCM forms and process with single workflow

Hi Experts,
Can we use single workflow for multiple form scenarios?
Actually we have some 10 scenarios with 20 forms. We planned to combine all the scenario's in a single workflow and use it in different form scenario.
Is it possible or we need to create a separate workflow for each process?
Thanks in advance,
Helps will be appreciated.

Trigger Adobe Window from HCM Form

Hi All,
We have a requirement where we have to open a ABAP Dynpro window when a button on an HCM Form is pressed.
Certain data would be selected in the Abap Dynpro window and the same would be passed back to the Form.
Any idea how this can be done.
Is any enhancement needs to be done in the standard Dynpro pro component HRASR00_process_execute which contains the HCM Form ?
Regards,
Sameer Tapre.

Hi Sameer,
You dont need to enhance the SAP standard Web Dynpro component HRASR00_processs_execute. This is currently supported with HCM forms and processes. You only need to create your ABAP webdynpro that you want to pop up through form in a certain way.
Refer to the blog /people/ian.stubbings/blog/2010/02/22/hcm-processes-forms-web-dynpro-abap-search-helps for step by step details. There are some standard webdynpro delivered as example and are highlighted in the blog as well.
Hope this helps.

HCM Form events

Hi,
We are developing the HCM forms. Our requirement is populating the Country values in one dropdown list and based on the country we need to populate the city's in other dropdown list. The city values will come from the backed (BADI logic). The event is triggering and the city values also getting but the complete form getting refreshing when ever event is triggering, i don't want to refresh all the form, only related fields need to refresh.
The below events are added to my Country dropdown exit event
$record.CONTROL_PARAM.ISR_EVENT = "USER_EVENT_INITIALIZE"
app.eval("event.target.SAPSubmit();");
Please can any one help me on this.
Thanks
Nag

Hey Nag,
Are you using the ZCI format for the forms, because if you are, you are using the wrong dropdown list box. The list box you are using is for the ACF style of form.
I'd first suggest downloading the ISR ZCI library from the Service Marketplace
[Note 1104060 - Adobe LiveCycle Designer - ZCI template update|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1104060]
[Note 947675 - ISR/Adobe: Layout category ZCI (composite SAP note)|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/947675]
[Note 947633 - Current ISR Control libraries|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/947633]
[Note 973170 - New library for "SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe"|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/973170]
The last one has the dropdown that has the correct code for use within the ZCI form template usage.
This is what the code is to look like, and can only be executed when the event language is Javascript:
xfa.record.CONTROL_PARAM.ISR_EVENT.value = "CHECK";
ContainerFoundation_JS.SendMessageToContainer(event.target, "submit", "", "", "", "");
You have to replace CHECK with the name of the operation in the backend that you want to call. Also, another thing that you have to do is Insert Web Dynpro Script when using ZCI form template. This can be done by selecting the Utilities option from the SAP GUI menu bar, not the form designer menu bar, and it should be right above the Versioning option. After selecting this, you will notice that you have an addition to your Hierarchy tab in the Form Designer that says
(variables)
|-----ContainerFoundation_JS
This contains the code needed to make reference to your operation in the DO_OPERATION method of your BAdI.
Hope this helps...
Cheers,
Kevin
