Generating Interactive Form in SAP GUI and saving in offline repository.

Hi Experts
Is it possible to generate an Interactive SAP Adobe Form and display it to a user within SAPGUI, as well as save the captured PDF form offline for later retrieval?
We have the following requirements
- Access an Interactive Form via SAPGUI, form containing data fetched from backend ERP (access of document cannot be via Portal)
- Form to be saved "Offline", and to be accessible at a later point in time. Is it possible to save the PDF for later retrieval as an object inside SAP (what mechanisms are available?), or to store it in an external document repository for later retrieval?
Any input would be appreciated.

Hi Costa,
As the first step, you need to create an Interface and Form through TCode SFP . After Interactive form layout designing, when you activate the object, a function module gets generated automatically. You have to call this function module from a z-program. This program is known to be the driver program. When you run this program by passing the appropriate parameters to the generated FM, it will create and download the pdf form for you.
Check the following link for reference:

Adobe interactive form inside SAP GUI

Friends,
We all know that Adobe interactive forms can be called from portals and updated by the users. Is there any possibility that the Adone interactive form can be called inside SAP GUI and updated in the same manner?

Save Interactive form to SAP

Hi All
I have a requirement where we display an interactive form in a web dynpro. The user captures some information and on submit I need to save the interactive form (i.e. the file) as a notification attachment in QM02.
I'm not sure if this is possible and if not, what is the best way of saving an interactive form in SAP.
Thanks in Advance

Thanks Nawal
What I am trying to do is save and update the Interactive form as a notification attachment. I convert the xstring data to binary and store the form as an attchment using fm SDOK_PHIO_STORE_CONTENT and this works. I can read the binary data, convert it to xstring and display the adobe form on the portal.
But when I want to update the binary content in SAP with any changes, I use fm SDOK_PHIO_STORE_AS_UPDATE. This also seems to work but when I try to display the updated document on the portal, it says the file is damaged and could not be repaired.

Hi,
Check the answers for u r questions...
What do Adobe Interactive Forms in SAP HCM do?

What is the difference between Interactive/Non-Interactive Forms?
In non-interactive forms,there is no database interaction.If u say interactive forms.if u enter data in the form data will be saved directly in the data base..
In which sub-modules of SAP HCM are such forms used?
OM(Orzanization Management),PA(Personel Adminstration) and PD(personel Admin) ..ect...
What is that an HCM consultant has to expect from Basis and ABAP consultants for this?
from basis HCM dont required more help..only authorization and access only.
from ABAP u need more..if u use standard backend system..some times data will not picked automatically at that time through BADI u need to fill the data to the form,and to do validation in the form level..ABAPER need to write scripting

Call a web service in an interactive form within SAP

hi experts
I need to call a Web service into an interactive form within SAP, but to do so fails to press on the button that calls the Web service, the strange thing is that if I keep the PDF in my PC, then open that PDF download button works correctly if I am doing something wrong?, you can do what I need?.
Greetings.

Hi asdasdasdasd1,
not sure if I fully understand your problem but it sounds like you are trying to execute your Web Service in the preview tab of LiveCycle Designer. When you do this, features of the Reader Extension Rights are not available so you will have to generate the form via the ADS and test the WS on the generated rendition as you have done.
Let me now if this helps.
Regards,
Ben.

Developing Adobe Interactive forms in SAP R/3 4.7

I have a client requirement of developing Adobe Interactive forms for automating exisiting manual processes. The SAP version being used is SAP 4.72.
Could anyone please let me know what all is required to implement it and how that can be done in brief.
One of the related links to the topic without much details is 4.7 and Adobe Interactive Forms.
If anyone has worked with such requirement, his inputs would be valuable

Hi,
You will have to use WD Java for integrating Interactive forms with SAP version 4.7
NetWeaver developer Studio ( NWDS) is the tool used for this integration. Data can be passed from SAP to WD Java using RFCs.
This link will be useful for you:

Is it possible to use Adobe Interactive Forms in SAP (ABAP) Trial Version?

Dear All,
i need some help concerning the usage of Adobe Interactive Forms in SAP (ABAP) Trial Version.
I installed SAP Netweaver 7.01 (ABAP Trial Version) and i would like to use the Adobe Interactive Form editor (transaction SFP). Is this trial version prepared for this? Is it possible to edit and test Interactive Forms in the ABAP Trial Version too?
Somebody told me that he installed Adobe Lifecycle Designer 7.1 but the layout manager part of the editor shortdumped when he wanted to go back to other parts of the editor or he wanted to save what he did...
Is it enough to install Adobe Lifecycle Designer 7.1? Is there something else to install or configure?
Thank you for your help in advance.
All the best, P. Phil.

Yes, you need the lifecycle designer installed. That should be enough to work with the SFP transaction. But to actually use the form, I think you do need the ADS(Adobe Document Services) which runs on the java stack.

Please telme the step-by-step procedure to hide "details in sap gui" and "create ad-hoc request".
Thanks,
Rashmi

Hi,
Thanks for the information. It was very helpfull.
Can you please tellme where can we fine UWL iView? I tried to find this out in two ways.
1) Portal Content -> Content Provided by SAP -> End User Content -> Standard Portal Users -> Views -> com.sap.coll.iviews -> Universal Worklist (finally i got this iView). Here i dint find any property called "List of UWL Actions to exclude". In the link which you had given, its written that we can modify the iView and add the name of the actions under the Actions to exclude from the UWL property.
Which iView do we need to modify and where can i find that property?
2) I downloaded the xml file and then tried to find this property "List of UWL Actions to exclude" or " Actions to exclude from the UW". But i couldnt find both the properties in xml file.
Thanks,

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.

SAP GUI and Win 7 error when attaching a document

I searched Google multiple times for an answer but didn't find one, so I'd like to bring it up in this forum.
I start by saying that mine is a large corporation with centralized application, Windows and security configuration, so I have very little manuvering as far as changing settings.
The problem we run into is as follows:
some users who use a particular (Quality Assurance) module of SAP need to regularly attach documents (typically PDF format) in SAP. The typical size of an attachment is between 3-7 MB.
Those documents are store on a network file share remote to the site. The network latency between the site and the file share location is approx. 6ms (not huge by any means). Users are running Win 7 Enterprise SP1.
Randomly, the attachment download fails in SAP and they have to exit and log back in to SAP to resume. The attachment may fail2-3 times, and then succeed or fail permanently.
Copying the file to a local drive (C:) and then attaching it in SAP always works.
The users report that this was not an issue when they were using WinXP SP3 a few months back.
Again, the problem is random in that it cannot be recreated at will but happens often enough to be more than just an inconvenience.
the Windows event log logs the following message when the attach process fails and SAP freezes:
The program saplogon.exe version 7300.1.2.1080 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed. To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Action Center control panel.
Process ID: a7c
Start Time: 01cf38c9a86d55ac
Termination Time: 16
Application Path: C:\Program Files\SAP\FrontEnd\SAPgui\saplogon.exe
Report Id: 139b5ba9-a4bd-11e3-8b65-d8d3857a05c5
I'd appreciate any input that would help resolve this issue.
Steve

Besides updating the patch level, the other thing you can try to get more information is turn on or increase the level of tracing within the SAPGUI. You can do this on the workstation in SAP Logon by clicking the little button at the upper left of the window title bar, then in the drop-down choose Options. In the new window that opens go to the Traces folder and have a look through the three different kinds of traces you can turn on. Probably you should turn on SAP Logon Traces to the "Errors" level, and same for SAP GUI Traces (to Level 1: Errors), and under Session Traces pick the options that make sense to you (perhaps "Access Control", "Office Integration", and/or "Security"? You might need to experiment with different options to get the right combination that doesn't overload the trace file with noise; you may not need a Session Trace at all if the error trace on the other two options reveal what's wrong).
You can see under Session Traces what folder the trace files will go to, and open the folder from there. By default it will be C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\SAP\SAP GUI\Traces.
Best regards,
Matt

Dear friend,

Adobe Interactive Forms without Web Dynpro and ACF???

Hi All, we would like to build an interactive forms solution based on the Adobe software integrated into WAS. However, the customer requires a true thin client application with no additional installation on the client. Integrating Adobe Interactive Forms into Web DynPro however requires the Active Component Framework (ACF) to be installed since these forms are integrated into the page within an ActiveX container.
So the question is whether there is a way to use Adobe Interactive forms including the Adobe Documents Service within WAS but without(!) using Web Dynpro?(the full blown Adobe LifCycle Forms solution is not an option). Any suggestions on this are highly appreciated!
Tanks!
Frodo

Hello everyone,
I would like to add a couple of points from the SAP Product Management perspective.
Adobe has a number of stand-alone products that are the foundation for what SAP can now offer thanks to our partnership. This is exactly why we decided on a partnership that provides us with established technology, which is now integrated.
It is true that Web Dynpro is the main SAP way of integrating the interactive functions of the solution. We made this decision consciously, because the development and run-time environments provide very useful features that reduce the need for manual coding, such as the possibility of passing the data back to the backend using the Web Dynpro context. The automatism we offer here needs to be implemented from scratch with any other solution, including the Adobe stand-alone one.
While it is true that the ACF constitutes a certain limitation for the reasons you mention, Adobe will remedy this in 2005. The Reader/Web Dynpro integration will be available later this year for multiple platforms (OS, browsers) and will not require ACF anymore.
If you do not want to use a full-blown Web Dynpro application for your concrete scenario, consider developing an application that provides nothing but the interactive PDF form to the end user, to be filled in using the stand-alone Reader. The submit of the form data (with or without the PDF itself) could then happen via HTTP or e-mail.
