Handling RAW data types (from SAP) in Adobe forms - Illegal Arg Exception

Hi,
I have a scenario where I have to get data of type RAW in SAP to Adobe Forms using web dynpro java. What is the corresponding type in Web Dynpro / Adobe Forms.
I am using Adaptive RFC and when I get the model from SAP function module, the RAW type is created as Binary type in the data dictionary of Web Dynpro.
When I map the model context to controller context, the type is taken as byte[].
I tried to set the attribute for this field and I got the Illegal Argument Exception error.
I am using NWDS 7.0.9 and NW04s SP12. Pl help. I am working on this since 10 days but could get no solution.
The initial exception that caused the request to fail, was:
<b>java.lang.IllegalArgumentException</b>
at com.sap.dictionary.runtime.DdTypeBinary.format(DdTypeBinary.java:60)
at com.sap.dictionary.runtime.DdTypeBinary.toString(DdTypeBinary.java:64)
at com.sap.tc.webdynpro.clientserver.data.DataContainer.doFormat(DataContainer.java:1405)
at com.sap.tc.webdynpro.clientserver.data.DataContainer.getAndFormat(DataContainer.java:1098)
at com.sap.tc.webdynpro.clientimpl.xdp.renderer.data.XfdRenderer.renderAttributes(XfdRenderer.java:370)
... 41 more

Issue with the RAW data types is resolved now. I have changed the data type of the field into String in the dictionary (web dynpro).. I have changed the corresponding getters and setter functions from byte[] to string. And everything working fine now. I got the Illegal Argument exception initially because I was trying to display the binary data type fields on the adobe form or view which I am not supposed to do.
Also it is better to create separate view attributes in the context to get the values rather than mapping the model attributes directly in the form or view.
Thank you one and all.

Item line data not flowing into SAP Adobe form layout

Hello Gurus,
I am currently working on adobe form layout for a sales document in SAP, i have created a master page
as well as a couple of pages in the design view. Data at the header level are working properly, but the item data
are not flowing into the layout, as nothing appears in the print preview for the item level of the sales document.
I have done all the necessary binding with all the right field names, my subform to the best of my knowledge seems to be well
defined, but yet to no avail.
I would like to know what yet could be the reason for this issue and how i can go about fixing it.
Thank you.
Ahm.

Hi Vijai,

Can you please send your code as a sample code so that I can have a look at that and check where I am doing wrong/missing. My id is sandeep.kamdar in gmail

How to handle tables data in XML schema based adobe form

Hi all,
I am working on the CRM business partner creation by using Interactive adobe form with following steps:
1) Uploaded the offline Interactive adobe form to online interactive adobe form via WebDynpro ABAP;
2) Capture XML data into corresponding BAPI structures;
3) Save all the changes to database via BAPI.
The adobe form contains customer information as well as several table views which are bind with the context created in WebDynpro: Node NEW_BP_NODE cardinality 1:1 with single attributes and table type attributes (1:n): COLOUR_COMP, MEN_COMP etc.
While converting the xml format data to SAP context format, It is fine to use following routine to find the single attribute and map to the BAPI structure to do the database update.
NODE = DOCUMENT->FIND_FROM_NAME( NAME = 'XYZu2019).
XYZ = NODE->GET_VALUE( ).
Question: how to convert the xml table data to SAP context format in WebDynpro ABAP?
The XML table data looks like below.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

Hi,
Just follow these steps:
1. Create interactive form UI element in your view.
2. Now provide Datasource and PDFSOURCE to it in form properties.
3. Now give a template name prefix with 'Z' or 'Y'.
4. Double click on it. It will prompt for interface name.
5. Provide interface name prefixed with 'Z' or 'Y'.
6. Click on Context button in the Pop up window and provide the node you have selected as DATASOURCE.
7. Click ok and it will open the form designer.
8. In this way you can create a XML Schema based Form.
9. Activate the interface and design the form providing layout type and other details.
Hope it will help.

Vaibhav

Name of the creator missing when archiving Adobe Form

Hey,
i have an problem when i archiving an adobe form after printing. I miss the name of the creator but i cannot find the arc_params like i find them when i'm printing with sap script.
Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Alex

Hi,
Saving the PDF to a set name is considered a security concern by Adobe. In order to achieve it you would need a trusted function, inside a JavaScript file. This .js file would be in a set folder on EVERYONE'S computer. This makes it difficult to deploy and maintain.
See a thread here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2266799#2266799.

Date field not retent in Adobe form - Review

Hi,
I have a date field(Last day worked) which is not bound to any data view field in SFP transaction. When the form is in a Edit mode, I select a date in Last day worked field. After I click on Click & Send option, the form is in Review mode (with field editable), the Last day worked field goes blank.
How do I save the value that I entered in Edit mode.
Kindly advice.

You should bind the field to an attribute.

Restricting User Editing Date Picker Field Manually In Adobe Form

Hi Experts,
                   I have an Date Picker field, which list down the calender to select date. But, along with that, it allows user to input any data manually. I want the user to select the date only from the calender and the user should not be allowed to edit the field manually. As option to do that ? I tried all available types and nothing seems to be fulfilling my requirement.
Regards,
Satheeshkumar.M

Hi satheesh
This is possible with a script in the EXIT event of the date field.
It uses a regular expression to check the entered value for a specific pattern.
Allows are dates in these way: [9|99] [.|/|-] [9|99] [.|/|-] [99|9999].
Javascript code
if (! this.formattedValue.match(/^\d{1,2}[\.\/\-]\d{1,2}[\.\/\-](\d{4}|\d{2})$/g)) {
          xfa.host.messageBox("Enter a correct date!", "Invalid Date", 0, 0);
         xfa.host.setFocus(this.somExpression);

Submit action mapped to a method. This method reads the node mapped to the form.
Form Layout: Used ZCI Layout and Inserted web dynpro script (XML interface)
Dragged attributes from data view to create text fields.
Submit button used from Web dynpro native group
I could not read data from the form.
When I submit the form, data is not captured in the context.
I have used the same context for view and could save the data from the view. But from the adobe form, I cannot read the data.
Is there anything I missed. I have been on this since 2 days with no solution. I dont see any mistake but the form doesnt work.

Adobe form displaying data of previous selected records

Dear All,
I have created a wd component consisting of 2 views.
In the first view i am displaying an ALV. When i select a record and click on the alv button, the second view
gets called which contains an Adobe Form showing the data.
The problem i am facing is that the record which gets displayed in the adobe form is the one previous selected record and not the current record which i select.
Kindly give your valuable suggestions .
Regards,
Niti

Hi ,
Adobe form is just an external media in your case , it has nothing to do with your data.
Check what data is getting passed to adobe form via debuging .
check if your getting the selected element .
You can also post your code here if possible.

Adobe forms: Displaying work area data in different windows

Hi,
I have a requirement of showing work area data in different windows i.e work area which has sent from program needs to come in different windows of the form. I have created a smartform which will perfectly doing the above logic. The above work area also contains amount fields. I am also passing language 'English' or 'French', based on this i am displaying some texts also.
But Client wants to see the same requirement in Adobe forms. Ao i am new to Adobe forms, I need some help for performing the above scenario. I am doing my research on this. But i want to know the steps which will not reduce the performance.
In smartform, first window contains personnel no from work area and the second window contains address from work area. Then i have created a template with employee premium amount column, company premium amount column and total of that, all these from work area. So work area will contain only one row which i have to show in different window and on template.
In Adobe forms, How can i do the same this which i have done in smart forms.
Please suggest me any one in doing this. I appreciate your answers.
Thanks,
s.vikgnesh

Hi,
Yes as Santoosh said there is no such wiondow option in Adobe forms.
But if you use webdynpro java/Abap we can acheive this.
think something like this below, if it works.
have 2 views 1st for the adobe form, 2nd view in a new window for the work area screen.
in the adobe view have a button for the work area and respective event handler.
in the event handler call this window, and then reload the same adobe form.
if from the work area form if you need value to be passed to this adobe form. have a event handler for this.
when purpose is done, close that window and set value to the required context field on the form. and reload that adobe form.
this is a fuzzy process and time consuming, unless business has no other option we dont go this approach.
but for sure this works, we did the same for a EHS process.
Cheers,
Sai

Validation of Adobe Form from Web Dynpro

Hi, can you please support me with the following problem:
I created an Adobe Form, which contains several mandatory fields. The Submit-button of the form is positioned in the WebDynpro-View, in which the Adobe Form is embedded, but not within the Adobe Form. I choce this way in order to avoid a useless submit button in the Adobe Form for the Offline Scenario.
(How) is it possible to do a validation check in the Adobe Form if all mandatory fields are filled by clicking the Submit button outside the Form?
Thanks in advance,
Thorsten

Hi Thorsten,
That would be done exactly the same as checking mandatory text fields in a standard Web Dynpro application, the fact that you use an interactive form makes no difference. Whether you click on a submit button in the form or a button in the Web Dynpro, the end result is simply that the entered data is transferred to the Web Dynpro context and an action is triggered. In the action (Web Dynpro code) you can check if the data in the context is valid, e.g. mandatory fields or whatever validation you like. However, if you want to do validation in the form itself, so mandatory fields are also checked offline, you have to use scripting in the form itself.
Kind regards,
Sigiswald
