ISR Framework

Hi All,
I have gone to help.sap.com and read about the ISR framework, but I cant really make sense out of it.
Kindly explain me in your simple terms about :
1. what is ISR framework
2. How does it work.
I know its works with the Adobe forms, but how is the question.
please give example also.

HI,
In the past, customers have been left to achieve the blend of forms management,
business logic, and workflow management as best they can. However, this leads to a myriad of one-off implementations with no underlying common characteristics in the handling of the user interface or the development architecture.This means that process participants are confused by the different navigation/handling algorithms, and the maintenance (adaptability) of the processes is difficult because different development algorithms are used for different processes. For example, in any process, the business logic may be found in the form, in the workflow, or in the application.
Enter the Internet Service Request (ISR). This is the framework used to achieve this blend consistently. ISR helps non-specialist users design Interactive Forms for Manager Self- Services (and Employee Self-Services, or ESS) in a consistent way, and it gives participants a familiar structure to how they interact with the processes.
In ISR you can configure any of the existing scenarios or define your own custom scenarios and make this scenario available in your portal. There are scenarios which use some other forms (other than adobe forms) as listed in the details section under each scenario.
This Document gives a great example on how ISR Framework fits in the Workflows and processes:-
[ISR Framework|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/5866d990-0201-0010-30a0-c0513b331c02]
Advantages:-
The ISR provides a powerful mechanism to determine which fields should be displayed when (different roles and actions require different information to be displayed), so it is a good idea to use it wherever possible to avoid dispersing
the business logic in an inconsistent way.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Richa Sinha

  • How to automatic update necessary infotypes at the end in ISR framework

    Hi experts,
    I want to create a custom PCR scenario based on ISR framework. This scenario will transfer a person from one position to another position. In the normal PCR scenario, the final change of the person's infotype data is done by following-up functions which are defined in the scenario action boxes. These following-up functions require an administrator to login system then mannually choose one following-up function to make the update to the system data. I wonder if it is possible to let the system automatically update the backend system at the end of the execution of ISR scenario. The ISR scenario has a setting called 'Automatic Update', will this help? Or we need to add a step in the PCR workflow to do it? Thanks a lot.

    Automating those kind of updates is part of the new HCM Processes and Forms which is in fact a replacment for PCRs. I would look into that if you can.

  • Open Custom PCR forms (created using ISR framework) from UWL for approval

    Hi,
    I have made a custom JSP iview using the ISR framework .
    The form can be submitted and a notification is created.
    The Workflow is generating the workitem wihich appears in the
    UWL worklist.
    HOw can i open the custom JSP iview from the UWL for the workitem.
    Helpful answers will be rewarded.
    Thanks

    Hi Phil,
       Interesting - I have a similar issue.  We want to use the Request for Transfer scenario in ERP 2005, but it has not been developed in Adobe forms by SAP yet (it isn't available in 2004 either)!  So, we have decided to use the old JSP PCRs instead.
    Your issue is probably because you're using the same 2005 iviews to create your PCRs.  The 2005 PCR iviews are written in WebDynpro, and appear to assume that each one will be an Adobe form!  If you assign the old PCR iviews to your manager (give them the old MSS role under Migrated Content->EP5.0... in the pcd if you have it installed), you will be able to create a PCR with the JSP forms (regardless of the "Entry in Web" setting in QISRSCENARIO).
    The next issue is the approval.  In 2005, transaction SWFVISU has task TS50000075 configured as Java Webdynpro.  You'll need to change that to iView, and specify ID = com.sap.pct.hcm.isrdispatcher.default.  I'm following the UWL item type guide for this at:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/b1/cc1357eead454bb144face4a66be7d/content.htm
    Having said this, my approval is not working!  The item type has clearly changed, because the workitem name is no longer a hyperlink (rather annoying), but when I hit the "Launch Task Page" button (default name I think) I get the error:
    "Unable to perform action because the system returned an invalid URL"
    I can't see this "invalid url" anywhere in the logs, so I can't see where it is getting it from, or what path, etc I'm meant to put!  In your old system, what did you have as the "Server for ISR call" under "Additional Data for Scenario" in QISRSCENARIO?  Also, what did you have in the "URL" box that appears under the Additional Data for Scenario button when you change the Entry Type to JSP?
    Many thanks,
    Russell.

  • ISR Framework: Can I overwrite com.sap.pct.fin.util.isrprocessevent.IsrProc

    title: Can I com.sap.pct.fin.util.isrprocessevent.IsrProcessEvent?
    Hi Guys,
       I am creating ISR JSP forms these days and I found the ISR framework is not so flexible. For example, if I want to a event to handle some buttons in Java code(like when click one button, I can trigger an event to call RFC function), it is so difficult, because the controller class is com.sap.pct.fin.util.isrprocessevent.IsrProcessEvent. So I am thinking about to override this class, then I can make this framework more fexible.
       If I don't override com.sap.pct.fin.util.isrprocessevent.IsrProcessEvent, how can I call an RFC function via click a button?
       Is there anyone can help me? Thanks very much!
    Regards!

  • Debugging Adobe forms in ISR framework

    Hi,
    I have created a Adobe Interactive form (on the SAP side) which is using the Internal Service Request framework (ISR). Before when I used the JSP forms I could create an external break-point in the ABAP code of BaDI QISR1 and debug it when running it on the portal, however when using the Adobe forms it seems not to work. Does anyone know if there is a way to debug the ABAP code called by Adobe Interactive forms?
    Thanks in Advance,
    Michiel van Rhoon

    Hi Michiel,
    You can do it by setting an external breakpoint in your code. Then login to the adobe form with the same user specified for the breakpoint.
    There could be a problem that you login to the portal with your name, but that the Adobe form logs in with the standard j2ee admin account. Please check your JCO connection then (authentication must be set to Ticket, instead of User/Password). This is a WebDynpro JCO connection by the way

  • Using BSP IN ISR framework

    Hi all,
    Can someone tell me how to use a BSP in ISR. We try to use a sample BSP (ISR_DEM01) but this does not work. We googled on the internet, but we did not find any information or samples! We only found the ISR cookbook, but this did not give the correct informatie we need.  The BSP is activated in SICF and when we do a test the BSP works.
    Kind Regards,

    I'm not sure this is the best forum in which to post your question.  ISR is an application specific framework that mostly involves Adobe Interactive Forms. 
    I can tell that in general WDA doesn't necessarily support directly embedding BSP.  We have the iFrame UI element that can technically work, but that is depricated. Most of the time when you want to integrate BSP, you should use separate iViews in the portal and use portal eventing.  The other option is to simply navigate between the WDA and BSP applications using linkToURL or Navigation Plugs.
    You might want to consider having this thread moved to another forum.  If so, let me know and I have it moved.

  • Initialize dropdown in ISR framework

    Hello, I have a dropdown with values from the backend.
    My problem is that when entering the Interactive form in the Portal, a value in the dropdown is already selected. I want that the dropdown keeps initial until the user selects something on it.
    Anyone knows how to do some "clearSelection" in dropdowns please?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Jorge,
    In Library --> ISR Controls we have two types of DropDowns.
    ISR DDL 1 element preselected and
    ISR DDL No Preselection
    select the no preselection DD.
    Hope this helps you.

  • SAP Support for ISR Framework for MSS

    Hi,
    Does anyone know if SAP will continue supporting the JSP forms developed using old MSS. I know they are supported in ECC 6.0 but going forward will SAP continue to support JSP forms or should we start doing the new development in Adobe forms (would prefer JSP)
    Thanks
    Salim

    since no one replied to this questions I am closing the thread. BTW, this is what I have found out from another thread...
    The 2005 PCR iviews are written in WebDynpro, and appear to assume that each one will be an Adobe form!
    If old PCR iviews are assigned to the manager (give them the old MSS role under Migrated Content->EP5.0... in the pcd if you have it installed), you will be able to create a PCR with the JSP forms (regardless of the "Entry in Web" setting in QISRSCENARIO).
    Hope this helps.

  • Problems!:  calculated fields in Adobe Forms using the ISR/PCR framework.

    Hi there,
    I have made an Adobe form in the ISR framework. Everybody who is familiar with these forms in the framework knows that the adobe form is embedded in a standard webdynpro which consist of a roadmap with three steps.
    Step 1: Fill out the form
    Step 2: Check and fill the form
    Step 3: Submit the form. After submit the form can be send to a manager or can be directly processed in SAP HR.
    Problem 1:
    When I test the adobe form and fill in a number in a field and click on next everything goes fine. But when I click on previous step the value which I filled in before is gone and put to 0,00.
    Problem 2:
    Also another problem is that calculated fields, do not show directly when clicking on next step. When you click on next step and then previous step, then you see the value of the calculated field.
    Problem 3:
    Also another problem is with the calendar function. When I fill in a date by hand and click on next the BADI behind the form sees 00-00-0000. When I use the calendar function everything goes well.
    Who can help me with these 3 problems.
    Greetings.

  • Adding attachments to PDF within ISR and possibly link to BDS in ESS

    I have a requirement where the user needs to attach documentation to a request (ISR) for approval.  From my research on this forum I see that currently SAP does not support attachments in a PDF within ISR as only a small subset of the xml data to render the form is actually saved as part of the request.  A person has the ability to add attachments to the form in the process but once the form is recalled from the work list and displayed the attachements are missing.

    Hello Guys,
    We are using Adobe forms with ISR framework and facing problems attaching the files  from within the PDF ; using the paper clip icon.
    Once the files are  attached to the PDF form and the form is submitted, attachment disappears from the Form . Instead we have to use a "Attachment Manager" on UWL to attach the files. It is quite Confusing to have a "Paper Clip" button inside the form and also a attachment manager on UWL.
    If anyone faced similiar issue and has solution to fix this, please let me know.
    We are on ECC6 with component SAP_BASIS - 701- 006- SAPKB70106.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Webdynpro for ABAP - Adobe form ISR based

    Hi,
    We are building a custom HR application to automate various HR processes
    like New Hire, Termination, etc.. Due to certain internal issues we are
    unable to use the standard business package for MSS (and hence PCR screens
    with adobe forms). We have to create custom webdynpro abap screens for the
    whole application. Now i would like to check if there is a possibility to
    use the ISR framework with a custom webdynpro abap application.
    I checked the transaction QISRSCENARIO but i could not find any option for
    webydnpro abap in "Entry type for Web".
    Have anyone of you tried such a scenario earlier with ISR's? Is there any other way
    that we can use webdynpro ABAP applications with ISRs? Or do we have any
    work around for this.
    Please send in your valuable comments.

    Hi Phani,
    Thanks for the info.
    I am able to see if it is not interactive.
    Displaytype is native only.
    Let me explain you the issue in detail:
    Currently Client is calling ZFORM thro Java. They have some issues with JAVA so they want to use Webdynpro to call that ZFORM and the form is ABAP Dic based.
    For Templete source I gave ZFORM name, and it automatically created a 'NODE' wrt the context in the ZFORM.
    Now I have to pass data from difft  node attributes to that 'NODE'.

  • Authorization Profile needed for ISR Adobe Forms

    Hi,

  • ISR SCENARIO BADI Implementation not called

    Hi All,
    I have an issue when trying to run standard ISR scenario(SMC1).
    I have an external breakpoint at QISR1 BADI implementation method if_ex_qisr1~int_service_request_check of class CL_IM_QISR1_SMC1, but it doesn't stop when i clicked check button.
    The application i am running QISR_UI_FORM with parameters SCENARIO=SMC1&MODE=CREATE.
    I have a feeling that it is not even calling the implementation method, as it submits the form blank without doing any checks though the implementation exists and is active. I have also checked that the filter is also specified for implementation as SMC1.
    I have tried a custom scenario as well, same thing happens in this case as well.
    What is that i am missing?
    We are on ERP 6.0 EHP 4.0. I am starting to use ISR framework to implement the standard forms SAP delivered as well to do some custom scenarios.
    Another question: which framework is right to implement for doing (some standard forms, travel, PM forms and some hr forms) , i am also thinking about HCM Processes and Forms. Which one is right way to go ISR Framework or HCM P&F?
    I understand that HCM also needs ISR scenario.
    Please answer my question.
