HCM Processes & Forms: Web Dynpro ABAP Search Helps

Hi,
I was working with new functionality for adding Web Dynpro ABAP Search Helps to HCM P&F. Similar to described in http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/17919. [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken]
Can somebody tell me if its possible to submit some custom event round trip to back end SAP_PA and Generci Services after selection is made in the Search Help and "OK" selected. Right now it looks like its just closing help and can not submit any events automaticaly.
Thanks,
Oleg

Hi Oleg
As mentioned on the blog, this functionality was in place but has been 'disturbed' by the latest support packs. I have an OSS request in for this but only since yesterday. Once I get a satisfactory reply, I'll post it here and on my blog.
Cheers
Ian

Select options in web dynpro ABAP (search help f4 problem)

hi...
from the Tutorial of select options i have created select option for two parameters S_CARR_ID and S_CONN_ID but i get f4 help for only S_CARR_ID, but the parameters passed to both for   m_handler->add_selection_field are the same.
i also tried to attach my search help by passing one more parameter (I_VALUE_HELP_ID) but it dose not help.
could any one suggest me how to get f4 help.
thank you.
Regards
kailash.
code snap ->
init the select screen
wd_this->m_handler =
       wd_this->m_wd_select_options->init_selection_screen( ).
create a range table that consists of this new data element
lt_range_table =
    wd_this->m_handler->create_range_table(
         i_typename = 'S_CARR_ID' ).
add a new field to the selection
wd_this->m_handler->add_selection_field(
                 i_id = 'S_CARR_ID'
                 it_result = lt_range_table
                 i_read_only = read_only
create a range table that consists of this new data element
lt_range_table =
    wd_this->m_handler->create_range_table(
         i_typename = 'S_CONN_ID' ).
add a new field to the selection

                 it_result = lt_range_table
                 i_read_only = read_only ).

hi kailash,
check wheteher the field u r refering is having search help.
    if it has then set the additional parameters in method add_selection_field
I_VALUE_HELP_STRUCTURE = 'VBC07'(name of the table)                                                   I_VALUE_HELP_STRUCTURE_FIELD = 'FKART'( field name)
ex:
wd_this->go_select_options1->add_selection_field( i_id = 'FKART'
                                                   I_WITHIN_BLOCK = 'BLOCK1'
                                                   I_VALUE_HELP_STRUCTURE = 'VBCO7'
                                                   I_VALUE_HELP_STRUCTURE_FIELD = 'FKART'
                                                   it_result = lo_range_table

HCM Development in Web Dynpro (ABAP)

Hi,
I am working in SRM custom development in Web Dynpro (ABAP). I have to work now with HCM development.
Is it any specific method or procedure to develop/change the Web Dynpro (ABAP) application .I am new to HCM Functional.
Pl help me.
Thanks in advance.
sri

Hi,
In the HCM(Humaan Capital management) also there are the related FM ie BAPIs and also the corresponding BOR (business objects) where you can use them in the WDA.
Here the data is stored in Infotypes. Where all the historical records for each employee/organization etc are maintained.
It's better to have an idea on the HCM structure that would be enough in understanding the BAPIs etc.

Difference between pdfsource & datasource in adobe forms - web dynpro abap

Friends,
Please let me know the difference between the adobe form attributes pdfsource and datasource, when used in Web Dynpro ABAP. What is the significance of specifying both and the difference between them.
Points will be rewarded for helpful answers.
Thanks.

Hi,
Pdfsource is a attribute defined to read the form. Suppose in an Application you need to read values from fields on the pdf form. In that case you give an attribute as a pdfsource which will contain all the data in XML format. You can read these values and assign to different data node. normally its helpful in reading offline forms.
Datasource is a node containing one or many attributes which stores data at runtime. The fields on the interactive forms are bound to these attributes. When you give a context node as data source to the interactive form then it appears in the designer on the left handside in the data view. From there you can bind the fields on the form to the attributes in the context node.
The difference between both is that a pdfsource is used to read the complete form in XML format with all the fields on it while the data source is used to transfer data from context to the fields on the form. Note that the datasource contains a node with multiple or single attribute and a field on the form can be bound to a single attribute.
I hope it clears all your doubts.

Vaibhav Tiwari.

Reading Dynamic Table Values in interactive form (web Dynpro ABAP)

Hi All,
I have created a Web Dynpro ABAP application which contains an Interactive Form, That Adobe Interactive Form contains Dynamic table (New rows can be added manually and deleted using a button).
I am not able to read the Dynamic table values in Web Dynpro u201COn Submitu201D.
In the Adobe form I have web Dynpro native button (I am using ZCI), while clicking the native button I need to read the dynamic table values.
How can I resolve this problem.
Thanks and Regards,
Boopathi M

that means, when u add the table instance at runtime, you will also have to add an element to the node that is bound to the table.
probably addNew() mathos may be useful to you.
it appends a new record to the record set.
xfa.sourceSet.dataConnectionName.addNew()
also when on the exit event of the table field, do the following:
var i = xfa.parent.index
$record.rootnodename.tablenodename.data<i>.fieldname = $.rawValue
xfa.host.messageBox($record.rootnodename.tablenodename.data<i>.fieldname)

Drop down in dynamic table in the Adobe Interactive Form (Web dynpro ABAP)

Hi All,

Example:
The dynamic table contains 5 rows (Each and every row Drop down contains one to ten values).
1)     I have selected second value in the Drop down (ROW1)
2)     I have selected fourth value in the Drop down (ROW2)
3)     I have selected fifth value in the Drop down (ROW3)
4)     I have selected seventh value in the Drop down (ROW4)
5)     I have selected third value in the Drop down (ROW5)
I press the save button that particular Drop down value gets saved in back end system and that particular values want display in the Drop down as a default value.
How to resolve this problem.

Ajax/Javascript in Web dynpro ABAP

Hi,
I need your help in figuring out what artefacts of web dynpro ABAP could help me resolve a problem.
In a Web dynpro abap application, we have a button that redirects a user to an external site. Some of our users can go to this site from their computer and some others can't because they are not allowed. I would like to be able to show the button only to the users that have the right to execute this navigation.
In order to do that, I need to embed some script in my web dynpro application that will test if the URL of this application sends back an HTTP/200.
With the latest versions of Web Dynpro ABAP, is it possible to embed javascript of ajax? How can it be done?
If not, what could I use to base the visibility of my button on a validation that has to run on the users's browser?
Thank you very much for your help!
Renaud

Another way it could be done creating a custom ztransaction (abap report) performing a PING to the ip server , reading log txt, saving if the user is authorized or not , and redirecting to the Abap Web Dynpro.
Then On wddoinit select zztable for authorization.
But i don't know if this solution will work for you (ping specific port 80? or other requirements)

Search Help on Adobe Interactive Form with Web Dynpro ABAP

Hi All,
I have created Adobe Interactive Form with ZCI type and XML based interface type using Webdynpro ABAP.
I placed a text field USER_NAME on the form ( data element is linked to search help USER_COMP ).
Added Native WD UI element 'Value Help' to form to search for users and changed script
*var fieldName = "INSERT_NAME_HERE*"; to var fieldName = "USER_NAME";
The problem is that when I click on the value help button, nothing happens.
Is any more additional steps required ?
Thanks

Dynamic navigation, on HCM Process and Forms "Web Dynpro FORM"

Hi,
I'm trying to solve an issue regarding dynamic navigation, on a enhacement done at the Web Dynpro ABAP QISR_UI component for HCM Process and Forms.
I'm hiding the Adobe Form, and doing "do_dynamic_navigation" for a dynamic generated view container present at the VIEWSHOWFORM on the QISR_UI component.
The code works great, i.e.: the Adobe Form remains hidden and the custom form, using Web Dynpro appears.
I'm also using the HRASR00_PROCESS_EXECUTE_1 component to execute a Portal IView (Floorplan based component).
When the process is started, and the folowing actions are executed:
1- Select Employee
2- Select Process
3- Edit form
4- Press back (for example if the wrong process is selected)
5- Select the Process
6- Edit form again
There is a NULL exception, the "embedding_vca" (below) is NULL
SAPLWDR_RUNTIME_REPOSITORY
METHOD: IF_WD_RR_VIEW_USAGE~GET_EMB_VIEW_CNT_ASSIGNMENT (LCL_VIEW_USA
* method IF_WD_RR_VIEW_USAGE~GET_EMB_VIEW_CNT_ASSIGNMENT
method if_wd_rr_view_usage~get_emb_view_cnt_assignment.
result = me->view_usage->embedding_vca->get_api( ).
endmethod.
"IF_WD_RR_VIEW_USAGE~GET_VIEW_CONTAINER_ASSIGNMENT
Can you guys give me an hand?

Hello,
Basically what I did was replacing the Adobe Form, by a Web Dynpro component that contains its own form, and associated logic.
Tecnically the steps to acomplish the task were:
1º Development of a component for showing a form. ( I suggest you to start with just a "hello world" or something very basic )
2º Enhance the QISR_UI component (VIEWSHOWFORM view, on the modify view method), something like
if form scenario = XXXXX then
hide the adobe form;
create a custom view container (the problem I had above), and create an instance of the component created on step 1
end if
3º Access the context that the original form returns (you can check the context debugging the VIEWSHORFORM view )
4º Pass the context to the component created..
I can't provide further details on this, I'm sorry...
I do not suggest doing this, this was a requirement so I had to do it... But this requires a lot of workarrounds, and lots of small changes in standard code related with process and forms... It's not, also, a "clean" solution
Regards,
Joã

F4 Value Help on Adobe Interactive Form with Web Dynpro ABAP

Hello,
I have created an Interactive Form with ZCI type.
I placed a text field MATNR on the form.
Then I placed a Native WD UI element 'Value Help' as mentioned in the below link: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/42/fb2fe500553ee4e10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm
This form was then embeded into Web Dynpro ABAP view.
The problem is that when I click on the F4 button, nothing happens.
Is anything else needs to be done?
Thanks
Sagar

Hi Amol,
After binding the Context variable in the view, and in the Adobe Layout Designer from the Library go to 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: Don't 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.

Problem with Table display in Adobe Form of Web Dynpro ABAP

Hi Team,
I'm trying to display a table in Adobe Print Form (not interactive). The table is bound to the context node in the Web Dynpro ABAP where the cardinality is 0:N. I get a short dump. Don't know what to do here. I'm able to display individual fields from my context successfully. Looks like something is missing when I try to display a table. Any pointers to display a data table in Adobe? Any step by step example you know of where I can find out what I did wrong? Many thanks for your time
We are on support pack SP06 on 2004S release.
DUMP INFORMATION:
Short text
    Access via 'NULL' object reference not possible.
What happened?
    Error in the ABAP Application Program The current ABAP program "CL_WD_ADOBE_SERVICES==========CP" had to be terminated because it has come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.
An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_REF_IS_INITIAL', was not caught in procedure "CREATE_PDF" "(METHOD)", nor was it propagated by a RAISING clause.

Hi Thomas,
We upgraded our system(2004S) to SP10 so that we can use the ADOBE form printing in Web Dynpro ABAP but could not apply note 1034425 because of the validity constraints in SNOTE. All the pre-requisite notes are already in the system apart from one note 1029721 which talks about supporting input helps. We don't want to use input helps in our system and cannot upgrade to SP11 because of problems with Business functionality.
Questions:
1) Is note 1034425 absolutely dependent on 1029721?
2) If NOT, can someone please correct the validity so that we can implement using SNOTE.
3) Would it be OK if we manually apply the changes specified in 1034425 without implementing 1029721?
4) If all of the above is not applicable, is there any other note which fixes the above mentioned short dump.
Your help in this matter will greatly help us in using the ADOBE services provided by SAP WDA.
Thanks much

Adobe Reader error with SAP interactive form in Web dynpro ABAP

Hi,
We are having a strange intermittent problem with Adobe Reader. When we try to open PDF files from SAP Frontend we get an error pop-up. The pop-up does not have any text. The title of the pop-up has "Adobe Reader". There is a blue question mark and an OK button. The form is inserted into Web Dynpro ABAP page. This web dynpro application is executed in SAP GUI by this program:

Adobe Reader version is 9.1.2
Is there any solution for this?
Many thanks for answer.

Jiri,
The reason why I thought downgrading would help is because Reader 9 and above is probably not fully supported by SAP yet.
You can maybe open an OSS and see if Adobe 9 is fully supported or not.

Adding rows in web dynpro ABAP Dynamic Interactive form.

Hi Experts,
I am having problem in web dynpro ABAP Dynamic Interactive form.
This is my scenario....
I have a dynamic interactive form that has buttons to add and remove rows in a table. It works fine when I preview it , but when I render, view or save it using ADS, it no longer works. The "add" button actually does instantiate more repeating rows, because I put some trace messages in to count them, but the added rows are not displayed. How do I make them visible?
In web dynpro java we write some coding in modify view to set the pdf form as dynamic
IWDInteractiveForm iForm =
(IWDInteractiveForm)view.getElement("<ID>");
iForm.setDynamicPDF(true);
simillarly what we need to write in web dynpro ABAP.
Please give me solution for the same.
Thanks,
Sathish

Adobe form to save data using Web Dynpro ABAP

Hi. I am pretty new to SAP world and trying to learn and work on a task given to me relate to
creating Adobe offline form using Web Dynpro ABAP same time.
I have several questions and hopefully, many gurus like you will provide answers.
I noticed there are many examples creating and using Adobe interactive forms (though not many newer version),
but I didn't see (at least I didn't find any) any detail example on saving data to an internal table (such as fixed assets, vendor master, etc)
using interactive form. Is there any detail explanation/example on this?
I have ask this question in another forum (before I found this forum) but didnu2019t get the answer yet.
2. When I tried to see graphic layout and modify the layout from Web Dynpro, I can't see the graphic layout.
All I see is text list of fields/buttons that I created, but can't see section for graphic layout where I can modify layout.
I am sure I didn't install/configure something correctly.
Anyone has any idea what I didn't do?
I have another question, but I will wait till later after I figure out above ones first.
Thanks for all your help in advance.
John

Hi John,
In the WD4A view, there is a button "Show/Hide Layout Preview".
Click on that button to be able to see the Layout.
Note that this button is next to the Pretty Print button.

Reema.
