Interactive Form not so interactive

Hello,
I am trying to embed an interactive form in my WebDynpro application. I succeeded on displaying the form, but I cannot make it interactive.
The form actually has only one interactive element, which is a URL launch button. I unfortunately cannot make without this button, so I don't have much choice.
I can see the form is not interactive in the WebDynpro because clicking on the buttons does nothing, the cursor does not even change to the pointing finger. When I test the form from SFP (with interactive flag set) it works as expected.
What is already done to make the form interactive:
- Set the form layout type to ZCI.
- Checked the "Enabled" attribute in the INTERACTIVE_FORM element of the webdynpro view.
- Created an empty action for the on_submit event of the element.
- Tried with both Native and activeX displayType for the element.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I have just made some tests and indeed when creating the form from the webdynpro, and the only different I can see is that it generates a XML based interface instead of an ABAP Dictionary based one. But indeed the interactive elements work in that case.
Concerning your last suggestion, I would really like to, and the actual code to launch a URL from a button is Javascript and client side, but it simply does not work, the click event seems impossible to trigger from a non-interactive form.
If you have no further idea I will see with the customer if it is worth it to remake the whole PDF just for that.

  • ADOBE Interactive Form not getting displayed in Browse

    Hi,
    Currently I am working on EhP4 project on ECC 6.0 environment. For HCM, We have interactive ADOBE forms for MSS. While testing we found that all buttons are displayed in a browser (we are are window 7 IE 8 ) but interactive form is not getting displayed in the browser (Fill out Form as part of MSS).  It only displays a line
    Checked ADS configuration as per oss note and works ok. Did HTTPWATCH - browser is getting (GET) the Adobe forms with values but not displaying it. If I copy URL from HTTPWATCH GET line in a separate browser window it displays the form.
    Thanks in advance your help.

    Hey Chris (and others),
    We were having this same problem, and this Note fixed the issue (thanks!).  However, we are still experiencing another issue with HCM Processes and Forms under EhP4.  Before this Note, it took about ten minutes before "single line display" would show up.  Now after the Note, we get the full form, but it still takes ten solid minutes of waiting before it appears in the window.  We're pretty sure it's not a Portal issue, nor an ADS issue, but something with the web dynpros on the ABAP side.  However, we have not yet been able to resolve it.  Anyone else run into this performance problem with HCMP&F after upgrading to EhP4?  We don't have the problem with EhP3.

  • Dynamic table in webdynpro interactive form not working. Urgent

    Hi guys,
    I am facing a problem when trying to retreive data entered in interactive form dynamic table.i can get the data entered in non dynamic fields no problem.
    I have a node structure like this
    Root
       Data 1...1 singleton and non tried both
           Table 1...n singleton and non tried both
    In my adobe form i tried adding rows using add instance, and also using add button in webdynpro native. In the same method that adds row i simulated the submit button to create row in WD context! It adds rows but any data entered later is lost. One more thing i have noticed is it sometimes works after adding just one row! Data is passed to context but from next row it doesnt work! What am i missing?
    I also tried adding a button in webdynpro tray and adding the row directly to the context. new row is created in form but any data entered in new rows is lost!
    I am unable to obtain the data entered in Dynamic fields. I thought i would try the xml reading method but the problem is after crating a couple of rows dynamically if i go save pdf locally the new rows are not showing up in the pdf!
    I have seen a post which said using the if_wd_iactive handler to set the form as dynamic but that method is not available in our system! Sorry i am not in front of an SAP system so i cant type exact names!
    I tried using zci update program/ etc etc but i am still struggling at the moment. Any help would be much appreciated! Pls ask if you need more info.

  • Adobe Form not getting interactive in Web Dynpro

    Hello Experts,
    I am facing a strange sort of behaviour, which has drawn my plenty of time, while making use of Interactive Adobe Form in Web Dynpro component.
    In my scenario, I have one existing Adobe Form with interface of type "ABAP Dictionary-based interface". While using this form in Interactive Form element in Web Dynpro and making it enabled, it is not giving me the expected output, that is - Interactive Form in browser window. Instead, it is showing me read only Adobe Form. Has it to do with type of interface?
    Looking forward to active replies.
    Regards,
    Harsh

    Hello Harsh,
    In webdynro adobe integration we use webdynpro native controls and the form must be in the
        ZCI layout. In SFP >layout you have to insert the webdynpro script .After going to the layout
              go to utilites and insert webdynpro script.Then you can find a variable containerfoundation_js.
    If you have changed the layout from standard layout to ZCI layout in form builder (SFP), the update the layout using program FP_ZCI_UPDATE.
    Refer to link below

    1. Check the Adobe form Version (from 7.1 to 8)

  • WebDynpro ActiveX  Button in Interactive form- not working in IE

    Hi,
    1)     I am working with Interactive forms in WebDynpro. When I deploy the application, the PDF form is opens in a browser window, But the WebDynpro ActiveX button ( to call a method in view Controller) is not working.
      When I copy the URL and try in another sysetm, its working.
      I hope the probelem is with the browser settings.
    2) And also, the 'https' URLs does not work properly in my IE.
    Can you give me a solution for these problems?
    Thanks,
    Prabhakar.

    Hi Prabhakar,
    I doubt this is anything to do with the browser. Please let me know if you have already installed SAP Active Control Framework on your desktop.
    I think this might be an issue. Also check for Adobe Reader version in both the machine.

  • Multiple search helps in ABAP Adobe interactive forms not working....

    Hello,
    I am working on my first interactive form. I have a couple of fields to which I have attached a search help. However, I am able to use the search help for only one field in a session. If I use the search help on one field then I am unable to use it on another field which uses the search help.
    Can some one help? I am new to interactive forms and this is my first form.
    I appreciate your help in advance.
    Thank you,

    Hi Leena,
    Are the Data dictionary fields which you are using contains value range. Because i am only getting value help only for the fields for which there is value range defined in the dictionary. The problem is only for the fields for which there is no value range defined. If you have solution to this problem I will definitely award points to you. But in your thread for me its not possible to reward points, so you can answer the following thread:

  • Adobe Form not so interactive

    Hi,
    I'm working to implement an offline interactive form scenario on CRM 2007. I've created a new Template of type Adobe XML Form File, using the CRM Document Template Designer under CRM UI->Sales Operations. Then created a Web Service using the Web Service Tool, at the same screen, using the wizard.
    Then clicked Start Designer and designed the layout using LiveCycle designer. I created 2 data connections. 1 for read and 1 for change. I dragged the fields and exported the file. 
    Finally, I created an appointment on the Calendar, and added this new template to the attachments. This created a PDF attachment with all the fields dynamically filled in correctly from the appointment data using the webservice.
    However, this PDF is not interactive. The button is not clickable. The text boxes are not editable. The form looks like a PDF document but not interactive.
    Am I missing anything here?
    I am not using SFP to create a form. I'm using CRM UI's Document Template tool.
    I am not using SE80 to create the webservice. I'm using CRM UI's Web Service tool.
    I confirm the Adobe Credentials are installed and I've tested interactive form functionality on this system by running SE38 then FP_TEST_IA_01 program, I get an interactive form properly.

    Hi Juergen,
    Right on the spot really. I've come into the following code in class CL_CRM_OI_ADS, method CALL_ADS. I repaired 1 line as below and now all forms are interactive!
    This is around line 47.
    *         set template
    *{   REPLACE        CR5K900218                                        1
    *\      lr_pdfobj->set_template( xftdata = x_template ).

  • Interactive forms not rendering in GP 7.0

    Hello everyone,
    I am trying to use interactive forms in GP 7.0, I have followed the help tutorials but the interactive form is just not rendering at runtime. I am able to use successfully other callable objects but the interactive form object always states " next activity not yet started".
    I have checked on all server side configurations in Visual Admin, have given my j2ee server and mail server hostnames wherever necessary but still no success.
    Moreover I am unable to set "Synchronise System Landscape" parameters in Web Services Client - Visual Admin.
    Please provide me with suggestions on this.
    Thanks,
    Lisha

    Hi Yasar,
    I am able to successfully do the standalone interactive form scenario where a form initiates a GP process, but I am unable to do the GP scenario where form is a part of the process.
    My scenario :
    form 1 is a standalone form that triggers a GP process and sends to it some  parameters. The triggered GP process has 2 actions, first action has a webdynpro callable object that retrieves the data from form 1 and second action has an interactive form callable object that will receive data from the WD callable object and send mail/display form.
    At runtime, the form1 triggers GP process, and i can see data in the WD action, but the next action that has interactive form is not executed, neither the form is displayed, nor is it emailed. Moreover its also giving a message that action 2 has been completed!
    I believe i have done all parameter and role mappings, also have updated caf/eu/gp/model service with correct parameters. Also I have a single user as default user for all the roles, and i have set this user's mail id as well.
    Please help if you can..
    Thanks

  • WD application- Interactive form -Not bringing values to Onclick method

    Hi,
    I am working on Interactive form which has a submit button.
    Requirement is Form should be pre-filled with fields in Item column1 and then user fills in a field in Item column C2.Finally my submit button on form should take c1,c2 values and I will be using this in Click method for further processing.
    For this I have done following.
    1- created a structure ZILAB( which has COLUMN 1 & COLUMN 2 FIELDS) and created a node adobe_data with cardinality 1.1, and then under it created another node called ITEM CARDINALITY 1..N).This is mapped to ZILAB.
    2- Created  job number as parameter and button1 .This button1 brings up the pre-filled item Column1 fields to form.
    3- There is new column C2 in the output form which user will input.
    4- When I click final submit button it is stopping in Onclick method.my code is bringing up C1 values but not bringing of C2 values(which is user input) in my Onclick event of SUbmit button-WDACTIVEX.
    Also I have checked enable option, Assigned pdfsource, change type to activeX.I even tried to change element item name but still not able to get entries in onclick method.
    What is wrong with my code/process?

    Hi Thomson,
    Create a context node A with cardinality 1..1 and in this create a context node A1 with cardinality 0..n and in this node create attributes TEXT and VALUE.
    Now goto method and in that method using code wizard read the node A1.
    And use the below code snippet sample in your program
    *Declare the TYPES
    TYPES :  BEGIN OF TY_TABLE,
                   TEXT  TYPE SOMETYPE,
                   VALUE TYPE SOMETYPE,
                  END OF TY_UOM.
    *Define Internal Table and work area.
    DATA : IT_TABLE TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF TY_TABLE INITIAL SIZE 0,
               WA_TABLE TYPE TY_TABLE.
    SELECT TEXT VALUE FROM TABLENAME INTO TABLE IT_TABLE.
    lr_node_info->bind_table( IT_TABLE ).
    And in the Adobe Form Layout
    Go to Menu of the Adobe LiveCycle Designer:
    Tools>Options..>DataBinding
    In that window u just check the Show Dynamic properties Check Box.
    Now for the Drop Down go the binding tab in object palette and click on the list items and there specify the text as the internal table text field and value as internal table value field and select the internal table.

  • Having trouble having both an interactive form and an interactive page curl in a pdf?

    Okay, so I need an interactive pdf with a page curl AND an interactive form. I exported my Indesign file as a swf file with the interactive page curl, (which the interactive form doesn't work on), then I imported the swf file back into Indesign, opened the media tab and chose the option to 'open file on current page' so that when I open the pdf it doesn't ask me to activate the file before use, and then export as an interactive pdf. the interactive page curl works perfectly, but the form doesn't work. How do I put an Indesign form into my interactive pdf?

    Hi Enrico,
    If I understand correctly, you are calling the addInstance() on click of the button that you placed in your form and when you add more pages using this button and save the fikle and open it again, the newly added instances are not displayed in the form. Am I right?
    If this is the scenario, the you need to store the value of the forms created using this button and call the same addInstance() method in the initialize event of your form. I.e place the same code that is there in click event of the button inside the Initialize event of the form with the number that we have saved in some hidden field.
    Hope this resolves your issue.
    Cheers,
    Arafat

    Interesting. I might have a problem like you mentioned.
    I am running one SRM50 system (abap+java) and one ECC6.0 (abap)
    I want to use ADS from both ABAP stacks. I have configured both and the ADS including interactive forms works from the SRM5 abap system, but has the problems described from the ECC6.0 system.
    The abap software components from both systems differ. The working one has aba, basis, apl on level 8, the non woking on 12.
    Now which of the abap components is involved and would the older level 8 componenet work with the newer ADS (is it downward compatible). Since I could upgrade the java ADS to the latest level , but do not want to upgrade the abap stack on the SRM5 system.
    I am afraid of breaking a working SRM 5 system.

  • Saving Interactive form as non Interactive

    Do we have  a way that when we save a Adobe Interactive form , it gets saved as a non-interactive form.
    Thanks and regards
    Puneet Gupta

    hi,
    the Interactive Form UI element has a property..."Enabled"
    true->interactive
    false->non-interactive
    bind this property to a context attribute of type....boolean.
    whenever you want to make the interactive form... non-interactive.... just set the bound context attribute to "false".
