GP and WD with Adobe Interactive form question - need some guidance.

Hello experts,
FYI, I'm running ECC 5.0 Support Stack 9, EP 7.0 SPS 11, NWDS 2.0.9_15 with Adobe Livecyle Designer.
I am slightly stuck with what I'm trying to do. I have created a web dynpro application that has an Adobe interactive form. I'm trying to use guided procedures to initiate a process so that this interactive form can be filled out and submitted to an approver. I need the relevant parties to receive a notification email. I have setup email templates and services, I just need to know how it will fit into the process. Once approved in the process, a BAPI should be invoked to populate some fields in the form. Should I be creating the Web Dynpro application to invoke the bapi or should a guided procedure callable object invoke the bapi? I know how to do these things, but I dont know which method I should use, in order to correctly have this process flow from point A - point B. Should the process appear in the Universal Worklist? If not, why not? Will it only appear in the GP runtime? I have pretty much read thru most of the tutorials but still cannot get this GP stuff to work as a WHOLE process.
Any guidance, suggestions, possible solutions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Kunal.

Hi,
It seems you have not activated the Composite Form object. Only after activation you will be able to use it to create a Callable Object of type composite form.
Hope this helps,

  • Need help with Adobe Interactive Form Saving

    Hi Gurus,
    I need your help with Adobe Interactive form saving.
    I have written the code in pre-save event to prompt a message when user didn't enter any value before saving. The form data should not be saved upon clicking save (Just prompt the message and exit form the form). Can u please advice me how to do this.
    Regards,
    Srini

    see the link: http://forms.stefcameron.com/2008/04/
    it says:
    preSave: Failed validations will not prevent the form from being saved however Acrobat/Reader will issue a special warning message, after issuing the validation error message, to inform the user that the validations failed. Iu2019m guessing this is because the user may be saving the form to continue filling it at a later time so the save canu2019t be completely prevented.

  • WebDynpro with Adobe Interactive Forms

    Hello Experts,
    We use Java Webdynpro with Adobe Interactive forms. We have 2 local development components. In the first development component we create a PDF and mail that PDF to client. De mode we used for PDF creation in 'UpdateDataInPdf'.
    The client fills out the PDF and send it back to office by mail.
    The second development components reads the mailbox and displays the PDF. The mode for this PDF display is 'UsePDF'. We use a PDF utility to transfer the data from PDF to the context. We can change the data in the PDF but is not reflected in the context. How can I fix this.

  • ISR with Adobe Interactive Forms: java.io.FileNotFoundException

    Dear SDN readers,
    I am currently working on an ISR with Adobe Interactive Forms project, and I must say that I find the configuration rather complex, however until now I kept making progress.
    Now I've come to the next error given by webdynpro, when testing the scenario from the testbutton in transaction QISRSCENARIO:
    java.io.FileNotFoundException:
    .\temp\webdynpro\public\sap.com\pcui_gp~isr\webdynpro\
    Components\com.sap.pcui_gp.isr.isrprocessevent.showform.

    ~wd_key18_1135844968237\unknown.pdf 
    ... <i>(some more info)</i> ... (The system cannot find the path specified)
    Indeed, this path does not exist on our portal. I assume this has something to do with credential files, but since the ADS is running fine from ABAP I cannot see why.
    Has anyone experienced this before, or can someone point me into a direction to look for?
    Thanks in advance and best regards, Hans

    Found it. The problem occurs on the conbination ECC SP8 and Netweaver 13.
    See note 874130, but make sure to read it in German.

  • Web dynpro with adobe interactive forms and button submit

    Hi,
    I'am new with webdynpro and adobe interactive forms so i just trying some example with an adobe interactive form with a submit button event handler inside the webdynpro. But i can't catch the event handler submit that i creaate on onSubmit property of the interactive form.
    Can anyone help please.
    Thank you very much.

    I think I understand but just to make it clear. I use texts created using function module "SAVE_TEXT". In my Web Dynpro I  select one or more of them and use the button "insert text" (with appropriate functionality behind it) to insert them to specified location in my PDF form opened in this Web Dynpro. Considering what you said it is not possible to replace this "insert text" button by drag and drop functionality. Am I correct?
    Btw great job with the book "Next Generation ABAP Development" Thomas!

  • Data Passing Problem with Adobe Interactive Forms

    Hello all,
    I am trying to create a Guided Procedure to implement an offline Adobe Interactive form. This form is based on the standard Requisition Request form used in MSS for e-Recruiting.
    I've copied the standard form and updated the layout to ZCI using the appropriate transaction (not manually). After that, I've changed the Interface and layout. But to get the Form in the portal you need to have a .xpd file. Therefore, I've tested the form in preview mode, saved a copy as a PDF file and opened this copy in the standalone Adobe Lifecycler Designer. In the standalone version you are able to save the form as a PDF (not possible using transaction SFP).
    My question 1 is if this is a wrong approach and there is a better way to retrieve the xpd file.
    Next to that, I wrote a RFC function to retrieve data in the backend. This function is working and now I try to pass the data to the Form in the GP (using prefilling). The data is never passed, any points that I need to check there. The data used to export is a structure that contains a number of table types, because Adobe has issues with importing tables it seems. The form is working correctly in the backend.
    Points will be rewarded for helpfull awnsers!
    Kind regards & thanks in advance...

  • Loadrunner / ecatt with adobe interactive forms

    Has anyone tried either eCATT or loadrunner with an Adobe interactive form inside of a webdynpro app yet? We are getting ready to, but won't be ready for about 2 - 3 weeks. Any advice or comments would be appreciated.
    bkpf

    Hello Brenda,
    yes, we've tested eCATT with interactive forms. It works so far, but the question is what is the goal of your test?
    Using eCATT ADS, the application, and the business logic behind is tested. If that is your goal, using eCATT is an appropriate solution.
    Regarding Loadrunner-Tests I'm not the expert. But within the solution an ActiveX does posts to the server using encoded URLs. So there are several problems:
    - is loadrunner able to record those posts?
    - is loadrunner able to modify URL parameters dependend on the current session?
    - is loadrunner able to use the response of such a post and dynamically adapt a post parameter of the subsequent post?
    So I think it is at least very difficult and complex to use loadrunner. I recommend eCATT as the solution for automated tests of InteractiveForms.

  • Iview from webDynpro ABAP with Adobe interactive form

    Hi gurus.
    Can I make an iview from a webDynpro ABAP that generates an Adobe Interactive Form, and generate this form from the portal as well?
    thanks in advanced,
    Dieuba

    Chintan thanks for your reply.
    Using Adobe Cycler Designer you can design an interactive Form (fields to be filled by the client, buttons, etc.) and you can integrate this with webDynpros ABAP and JAVA. I want to make an iview that connects with this webDynpro and also generates this form to be filled by the user, so it can send the data back to the sap system.

  • Script Editor with Adobe Interactive Forms

    Hi Everybody,
    I have an issue (i think!) with the Adobe Interactive Form Editor in my NWDS.
    I need to use some scripts in my PDF form, and i though that the script editor will be helpful, but this is disabled.
    Somebody knows how to enable it?
    If I have to validate values or calculate values in the PDF form, is this the way?
    Thank You very much for Your help.
    Regards.
    SS.

    Hi SS,
    I am not sure what do you mean by "disabled".
    But for your information script editor is enabled only for UI elements like subform, input fields, Image field etc. When you open the form the script editor is disabled. When you select some element like subform, textfield etc, its enabled for that UI element.
    If this is not your case, please let us know what all elements you have on the form.
    Regards,
    Shubham
