IAC Question

Hi
I am trying to use the IAC's MEW0, MEW3, MEW5 to create requisition, go through the approval workflow and then create a purchase order.
I have already created the screens to create and display requisitions using MEW0.
I do not know what to do for editing the requisitions and how to go about assigning the req's to approvers. In my case, there can be more than 1 person to approve before a PO can be created.
Regards
Sriram

Thanks again for your help, Leonard.
I am trying to decide whether to "push" the field contents from Linux, -which is my preferred solution, due to the far superior horsepower of the server, plus the database lives there- or to "pull" them from the Windows clients.
Based on your warning, I think I will concentrate on the "pull" solution. I am vaguely aware of a JavaScript-based solution in which an ODBC query is made, in order to fill the fields. The topic was discussed here, a while back.
(Any pointer to documentation is appreciated, BTW.)
Let's say that my form has 40 fields. Does that mean that I will need 40 different SQL queries, one per field? Or, perhaps there is a way to make a single SQL query with 40 arguments?
Thanks again,

Question about IAC using VBA in Excel

How can I execute the "reduce file size" inside "document" menu in acrobat through IAC? I am using vba in EXCEL

You can not.

Acrobat Pro 9 IAC Detect Corrupt File (TIFF)

I am trying to convert a huge number of tif files into pdf files, and most of the time the code below works fine, using the IAC to control Acrobat.
try
CAcroAVDoc avDoc = new AcroAVDocClass();
avDoc.Open(@"D:\Bad Files\file1.TIF", "");
CAcroPDDoc pdDoc = (CAcroPDDoc)avDoc.GetPDDoc();
pdDoc.Save(3, @"D:\Bad Files\file1.pdf");
avDoc.Close(1);
catch (Exception ex)
MessageBox.Show("Caught!");
But we seem to have a certain amount of corrupt tif files that occur every now and then which are causing a problem. When the avDoc.Open line runs, there is a popup error message that says.
"Acrobat could not open 'file1.TIF' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)."
There is no exception thrown, so the program hangs while it waits for someone to click OK on the message. Is there any way to disable this popup so that the program can continue? I'm not bothered about it throwing an exception, because the pdDoc.Save throws one anyway if the file didn't open successfully.
I have seen a conversation on a forum somewhere suggesting that we should not use the CAcroAVDoc class, we should just use "PDDoc.Open" instead, but PDDoc doesn't seem to exist. I tried using CAcroPDDoc but as far as I can see it can only be instantiated by the instance of CAcroAVDoc and it doesn't have any static methods on it.
We are using Adobe Acrobat Professional version 9.

IAC application throwing the error ITS_EXPRESSION_NOT_NUM

Hi all,
We are having some IAC applications, the older version is ECC 4.6 . All the applications are working fine there.
Now that we have migrated from ECC 4.6C to ECC 6.0, we have just copied all the IAC applications to the new system.
When tested in the new system. one of the applcitions is throwing a error.(i.e., the ABAP dump is pointing to the Javascript ParseInt method.)
The error is "0.00 could not be converted into numerical value"."ITS_EXPRESSION_NOT_NUM".
My question is:
Is there any possibility that ECC 6.0 is not recognizing the java script of 4.6C(specially the ParseInt functionality).
is there any help documents which give us code samples for syntax to be followed when writing the java script in ABAP.
Any clue to resolve the error would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Kavitha

Invoke adobe actions through IAC OR Invoke SaveAsOptimize

Hello,
My Requirement :
We scan a lot of patient documents and need to optimize the same. I have Adobe Acrobat X Pro.
I figured out a way to save a document as optimize and it works just fine and reduces the file size to a great extent.
I also figured out to write action to make Pro point to a input folder optimize all pdfs in the folder and output the optimized files to the output folder.
But now I want to automate this process to eliminate human effort.
I have read many posts on the forum, but didn't get anser to my requirement.
Question :
1. How can I invoke the action written in Adobe? Be it through command prompt or programmatically using Adobe's IAC.
2. Can I use Adobe SDK to save a pdf as optimized?
Found similar threads on the forum, but neither is answered:

Hi Irosenth,
thanks for your reply.
Can I use the sdk in .net, can you please shed some more light on the same?
Is there is any sample code to demonstrate pdf file optimization in .net?

Portal Language Questions

Hi ALL,
I have a question. I am changing the portal language.
1)Do I need to change back end language.
2)If I need to change the back end language, tell me which of these back ends need to change the language setting.
ECC
SRM
CRM ISA
MDM
BI
Please guide me on this.
Regards
Keerthi

Hi Marcus,
We recently installed more Portal languages for an SSO project. This resulted in some IAC iViews no longer letting the user through to the backend over the ITS server if a language was used that was not available on the backend. The user would get a logon screen instead of the transaction with the language set to the portal language.
You can configure the iView to force a language that's available on the backend, but you can only select a single language here. If a user has a language selected in the Portal that would be available on the backend, then he will still be forced to work with that forced language...
So far I am unaware of a solution where you can pull the available languages on the backend directly. Our solution was to a enter the available languages in a parameter in the transaction iView, then read this parameter and see if the user has one of these languages selected. If not, then he's forced to use a fallback language (English for example).
You can read more about it here:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/de95e490-0201-0010-b390-f0f23a95e2b8
So yeah, in essence you don't get an error per say, but you will be forced to change you r language in the iView before you can logon.
Cheers,
Hermann

ERP 04 - Home Page Framework (IAC object and Transaction )

Hi,
We currently have transactional and IAC iViews in our EP 6 and 4.6c system. We will upgrade the system from 4.6c to ECC 5. Upgraded system specification will be as follows.
EP6 NW04 (Web AS 640) SP 12
Integrated ITS 640
ECC5 backend
We are using homepage Framework to build ESS/MSS portal content.
My questions
1. How can we call a SAP transaction from an ESS home page Framework? What type of service I need to create to do so?
2. We are currently using Time approval (CAPS) and Expense approval (PRAP) in EP6 as transactional iViews. Has SAP created a Web Dynpro service for these two functions?
3. How can we call an IAC object from an ESS home page Framework? What type of service I need to create to do so?
Thanks a lot for your help!
Fatema
Message was edited by: Fatima Shahpurwala

Hi Fatima,
I think there is not an option to use a Transaction directly in the XSS Homepage framework.
However, you can create a portal page with a transaction iview on it. In the homepage framework just attach the pcd path to the resource. That should do the trick.
This will probably answer question 1 and 3

Internet Services & IAC Iviews

Hi,
I created an IAC Iview on Portal based on an Internet Service. I have configured SSO with the R/3 System. It is also working fine. Now when I preview the Iview, it shows up properly.But when I do it the second time, either it shows SAP Easy access menu or pages does not show at all. After restarting my portal, I again tried the opening the page. It came properly, I used the Menu> System> Logoff path within the Iview to Logoff. Now it is working for the second time also.
So, How do I avoid using the logoff option. I cannot expect the user to logoff after viewing each of these Internet Services. There are about 30 such Iviews based on Internet Services. I hope I made my question clear.
Any suggestions ?
Murali.

hi,
Description
Enables / disables the SAP Easy Access menu immediately after logon if no transaction is specified when running the SAP GUI for HTML.
If ~webgui_easy_access_menu is set to 0 or it is undefined and no value is specified for ~transaction, users logging on to the SAP GUI for HTML see the initial SAP screen without the SAP Easy Access menu. To display the SAP Easy Access menu, they have to request it explicitly by choosing Start SAP Easy Access.
If you set ~webgui_easy_access_menu to 1 and no value is specified for ~transaction, users logging on to the SAP GUI for HTML see the initial SAP screen with the SAP Easy Access menu immediately.
Set by
Service file webgui.srvc .
Values
0
Displays the initial SAP screen without the SAP Easy Access menu after logon to the SAP GUI for HTML, if no transaction is specified (default).
1
Displays the initial SAP screen with the SAP Easy Access Menu after logon to the SAP GUI for HTML, if no transaction is specified.
Example
~webgui_easy_access_menu 1

EP5 & IACs... help please

Hi
I am new to EP, So please forgive me if I ask some basic or stupid questions.
We are using EP5 with 46C, Right now we have a few developments, which uses ITS as the interface. Now we are planning to migrate this to EP, We would like to keep the Developments which are already done in ABAP i.e. what ever we are showing in ITS have to go to EP.
I know that we can use a transaction Iview here, but the display will be no different compared to sapgui for HTML. We want to make use of HTMLB style Look and feel which is much better.
I have heard of IACs, but I am not sure how to go about doing this, I would appreciate if some one here can guide me or point me towards some documentation that shows how to work with IAC in EP.
I would also like to know if there is any other way of achieving this look and feel other than IACs.
Thank you for the help
cheers
Raj

Hi Prakash
Thanks for the quick reply.
Like you said, if i choose to go with URL iviews, I have to do the delopment in ABAP then convert that to ITS Service and then call it as a url in Portal. Instead of doing this is there any way i can eliminate creation of ITS service? I.e. I develop a transaction in ABAP then directly use EP to access it, but with a different look and feel other than normal SAP.
Can you suggest some document I can look at to get more info an IACs please.
Cheers

How to Send realtime MIDI CC data out of VI's (IAC bus?)

Hello everyone!
Im in need of some help/advice.. (Tried posting this in another help forum with no luck so trying here)
Does anybody know if it is possible to send 'Realtime' Midi CC data out of a Virtual Instrument used in Logic X and out of my MIDI port?
EG: Turning the Cutoff knob in EXS24 and sending the cc data out of my Midi interface's OUT port?
Im hoping there is a way to somehow achieve this using the IAC Bus and virtual cabling somehow to my Unitor 8 midi interface located in the Audio Midi Setup section in OSX.. Or am i dreaming?
(There is no way to assign a Midi OUT destination with a VI from what i can see. Or is there?)
Really appreciate any help at all.
Thanks

Smoke wrote: You see, i would love to do what you said (above) and plug the Midi controller straight into the MPC and do it that way, but there is a simple problem.. The Midi Controller i want to buy, only sends MIDI out of a USB connection (no physical midi output port) which my MPC will not accept, only Midi cables.
Strange. You intend to use your MPC as your sequencer yet you want buy a MIDI controller that only has a USB port? In your situation I would buy something with both 5pin DIN connectors and USB. It only makes sense.
Smoke wrote: So! Correct me if i am wrong but the simple solution to this would be to:
1) Plug this midi controller into my mac via USB and "Learn" Logic's VI's with the Controller's assignments
2) Somehow, assign the Midi Controller to send to one of my Unitor 8's Midi Out port which will be connected to my MPC.. (This way, all those CC's i transmit will ALSO be sent out to my MPC )
3) When i play back my MPC, its going to play the VI's just how i tweaked the knobs on that Midi controller.
Do you see any problem with me achieving # 2?? (it should be possible to do that in the Environment right?)
If this is all possible, then my question/objective is all solved thanks to you
No, that won't work. Once you make the assignments with the Launch Control, the VI's will only respond to messages coming from the Launch Control.
A workaround would be to hijack the Launch Control's port using Midipipe (freeware) so that Logic doesn't even see it, then route the Launch Control's data out of Midipipe via one of Unitor's output ports so that it reaches the MPC. The data would then go through the MPC and back to Logic via one of the Unitor's input ports. You would make the assignments with this data (data coming in from that Unitor port).

New video posted on IAC Driver configuration and use with Mainstage/Logic

Shows how to configure IAC Driver for use with Mainstage and Logic.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPhtRCwz8vs

No problem, anytime...
Yes, that should work. I haven't specifically tried that but don't see why it wouldn't work so give it a go. When I was testing this IAC driver method, I did confirm that the IAC object existed in the environment in Logic and it did, so you should be good to go.
You're exactly right, both Logic and Mainstage should be active. You'll get a message saying another Rewire host is active when you open both, but just click ok and ignore it.
Here are a couple of other vids as example of what you can do with the IAC driver just to keep your brain burning
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgzBOJYSY64
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZL0ucV8dpo
If I have time I'll try to test it as well, it's a good idea!
Let me know how it goes or if you have any questions.

Portal Theme for IACs iViews (ITS Theme Generator)?

Hi guys,
it's me again I got another question / issue (i didn't post it at the other thread, cause this is another issue):
We deployed the SRM BP 5.0 to the Portal EP 7.0 SP14 and now i want to change the look and feel of the SRM iViews.
I allready customized the Portal Theme via the "Theme Editor".
But the IACs iViews are staying SAP standard.
I got the hint to use the ITS Theme Generator, so I did. But now i come to the point where i am trapped:
I specified at the ITS Theme Generator the following entries:
The ITS URL : <ITS Server>:<port>/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/
UserID : ####
PW: ****
Service: bbpsc02
Theme: MyTheme
Then the new page opens and the transaction is displayed. At the upper side the transaction is previewed. at the lower side the images of the transaction is displayed.
AND Now here comes the big Questionmark:
How do i change e.g. the background color of this transaction or the text font? i can't find any section which would offer me this functionality!
The only thing i can "customize" are the images...what about the rest? What if i want to have my buttons grey instead of Yellow?
Or am i completely wrong? does this customization has to be done in the R/3 itself?
Any help or hint is warmly welcome and of course will be rewarded by points.
Thanks a lot ....
best wishes
Stefan

Hi Guys,
actually we made an OSS message.
The result was that there is no standard portal way to customize the IAC themes for the BP SRM witht the tool "ITS Theme Generator".
To my knowledge the only way how to adapt the theme of these iViews is to customize them directly at the SRM back end via the transaction SE80.
Well that's the end of the story...
Greetz to all of you
and see you soon in an other question /post
Kind regards
Stefan

When to create SAP IAC i-view and SAP transaction i-view

Hi Gurus,
Could you please tell me when to create SAP IAC iview and when to create SAP transaction i-view.
Regards
Indranil

Indranil,
check this from one of the threads
Transaction iViews as the name suggests point to SAP transactions. These iViews can be presented in three flavors out of portal - Win,Web and Java GUI. All have their different advantages. One rule of thumb I have been followins is that if the SAP transaction has a lot of user input go with WinGui (talk to users who use these transactions the most and find out what GUI would make them more happy)
WebGui is pretty good in scenarios where the transaction is going to be mostly getting the information a some little interaction. Haven't had a chance to try Java GUI.
Now about IAC or internet application component iviews. These iviews mostly point to services based on ITS i.e. web applications which are served thru ITS. How are they different from SAP transactions served thru webgui is that these have more web like look and feel. A good exampple of this kind of application is Shopping Cart in the Enterprise Buyer Professional. The web like look and feel is given by the service files in ITS.
some questions
1. Is one preferable to the other?
ans: Please read above
2. Is there a corresponding IAC for every SAP Transaction?
ans :No
3. Can either use WebGui or WinGui mode?
ANS: IACs don't have wingui mode.
4. Why do IAC Services need to be "activated"?
ANS: Otherwise they won't be published to ITS and you cannot access them.
Thanks
