Linking PE51 Form and SAPScript Form

I have found quite a few posts on this topic but I didn't find anything conclusive.
We have an SAPScript form and a PE51 form. We run the Pre-program DME where we specify the PE51 form name. Then we run the DME program. But the form is not generated.
I just wanted to understand the right method to link the PE51 form to the SAPScript form. I have read about 525-HR and REGUD-TXTHR. Can anyone please explain in detail what these are and how they help in linking the PE51 form and the SAPScript?
Thanks and Regards,
Vidya.

I have really not found an answer to this one, but still closing it as need to post more questions!

What is the diff b\w open form and start form in scripts.

Hi,
can any one tell me what is the diff andb\w open form and start form in scripts.when we should use open form and when start form.

Hi Friend.
I have understood some usefull information and would like to share with you.
Within one transaction, you can open and close several layout sets using OPEN_FORM and
CLOSE_FORM, however not simultaneously. You can use parameters in the OPEN_FORM to control
whether the output is stored in the same print request. But also the SAP spool decides,
depending on several plausibility checks, whether new output is appended to an existing
print request or whether to create a new print request anyway.
CALL FUNCTION 'OPEN_FORM'
CALL FUNCTION 'CLOSE_FORM'
CALL FUNCTION 'OPEN_FORM'
CALL FUNCTION 'CLOSE_FORM'
You cannot combine ABAP/4 list output and SAPscript output in one print request.
START A LAYOUT SET AGAIN
Usually a print program does not print only one urging letter or one account statement, but
several layout sets for different customers. To have the output for each customer begin with
the start page of the layout set, you must start the current layout set again and again.
To start a layout set again, you must first end the current layout set and then open the
layout set again. Within one print request, first call the function module END_FORM. It
executes the final processing for the current layout set. Then start the layout set again
using START_FORM. Output then begins again on the start page of the desired layout set.
CALL FUNCTION 'OPEN_FORM'
CALL FUNCTION 'START_FORM'
CALL FUNCTION 'END_FORM'
CALL FUNCTION 'START_FORM'
CALL FUNCTION 'END_FORM'
CALL FUNCTION CLOSE_FORM
Hope your obstacle is cleared.
If not do ask me again?

Diff bet Adobe forms and smart forms?

Hi Friends
What is the diff between Adobe forms and Smart Forms
Thanks & Regards
Kanni

Hello,
Smartform:
To create and maintain forms for mass printing in SAP systems. Besides using the printer for standard output you can also select the Internet (by using a generated HTML output), a fax, or e-mail as the output medium. Smart Forms allows you to execute simple modifications to the form and in the form logic by using simple graphical tools
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm70/helpdata/EN/16/a369b1800e4bdda978ee0fe3b7bd2c/frameset.htm
Adobe Form:
Interactive forms in PDF format that allow users to fill out the form on the screen and save their entries in XML format in the form. When the SAP system receives the PDF form, it extracts the data saved in the form, and can process it further.

How can I provide a background shading to the table?
In the Table Painter, you can specify the color and shading for the table lines.
Where can I provide the input parameters to the smartform?
The input parameters for the smartform can be defined in Global Settings->Form Interface.
The Associated Type must be defined in the ABAP Dictionary.
Where can I define my own global types for the smartform?
The global types(within the smartform) can be defined in Global Settings->Global Definitions->Types
The types defined here will be global through the entire smartform.
Also the form routines can be defined Global Settings->Global Definitions->Form Routines
I have defined my own Program Lines, where I have used a global variable G_TEXT. I get an error G_TEXT is not defined?
Whenever using the global variables in the Program Lines, enter the variable name in Input Parameters if you are going to use(read) the variable. If you are going to both read/write the variable value enter the same in Output Parameters.
I have created a table node for display. Where can I check the condition which must satisfy to display the table?
The conditions can be defined in the Conditions tab. In smartforms all the nodes have a condition tab where you can specify the condition to be satisfied to access the node.

Source tables for forms and tabular forms must have a primary key.

Why does HTML DB 2.0 return the message
"Source tables for forms and tabular forms must have a primary key."
when trying to generate a "Report and Form" page based on a view defined like "create view <applicationschema>.a as select * from <sourceschema>.b" ?
It should be possible for HTML DB to "see" that the table "<sourceschema>.b" already has a primary key.
bw - Christian

Christian,
In the create application wizard, when creating form or tabular form pages, you can only use tables with primary keys, and not views, because that wizard is automatically deriving the primary key from the table definition. If you want to build forms on views or tables without a primary key, you need to use one of the create form wizards while working on an existing application. Those wizards allow you to pick your own column as a primary key column.

Marc

Access denied for Association form and Initiation Form in SharePoint 2013 Workflows VS2012

Hi,
We created one simple Sharepoint 2013 approval workflow that has custom association and initiation forms. The workflows works when the workflow is created by the site owner. But when a user with edit permissions try to start a workflow
or associate a new workflow we get Access Denied error message. I believe this permission is somthing todo withthe workflow list wfsvc where these association form and initiation forms reside. What else could be missing here?how do i check permission on the
wfsvc list. please help. User also have create and edit permission on the workflow history and workflow task lists.
Thank you

If it works with Full control permission then there is something on the site which is causing this issue.
Try to collect HTTPwatch or fiddler trace to check more details.
Also You need to enable Verbose logging to check details. If possible paste the verbose logging in the comments.

Smart Forms and Sapscripts?

Hi,
I have read that one of the differences between smartforms and sapscript is that smartform is client independent while sapscript is client dependent.Can anyone please explain me why it is so?

example u create a script in client 800 .
take that script name and go to another client 810 and run the script at that time u know the difference .
for smartform it is client independent because some function modules are created dynamically so u can run this
form in any client .

FORM AND 'SUB FORM'

Hi
I need to have a link (button) to another small form where can select additional values. The form needs to be HTML generated from the footer area of the 'parent' form. I then need to depict values in a combo box (selected from a LOV) - also using MTML / Java script, etc.
Thanks

Have you checked each forms 'Filter' property (in Design view) to make sure they are blank and that each forms 'Filter On Load' property to make sure it is set to 'No'? Also, you might try inserting the following commands in each forms On
Open event:
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdRemoveAllFilters
DoCmd.ShowAllRecords
If you can open each forms Record Source and they are showing that new records are able to be entered (the new record * is showing at the bottom of the recordset), then check each forms On Load and On Open events to make sure there is no filtering.
In addition, check any macro or VBA commands behind the button that opens the main form to make sure there is no SQL filtering in the DoCmd.OpenForm command.
If one of the forms Record Source does NOT allow new records, then you will need to change that Record Source so the new record * indicator shows.
Out of ideas at this point.

I am not able to compile forms and my form application is close

Hi All,
There is strange problem arising in my system. I am not able compile the forms from my machine.MY machine is having Vista as OS and I have installed the latest 10g release of forms (the vista compaitable version). Also I am not able to open any of the existing and developed forms for one One Oracle Retail product. The existing forms were build on 10g version 2. (10.0.2). But when I am trying to open the forms, the application hangs immediately and then its says explorer is closing, the program has some problems. The same error comes in both the cases.
Thanks & Regards,
Debabrata

Debabrata,
First You must read this topic from Steve Cosner:
Forms 10g installed and running on Windows Vista
After You must to install Forms 10g under Window Vista following the instruction in the topic.
At this time Form Builder work fine; but the Compiler called from Framework return errors and the program hang.
I have tried to run frmcmp.exe outside the Form Builder and the program newly abort.
I have sended my Form to Steve Cosner and I attend a reply.

Restrictions on PDF Form and Submit Form to email

I have two questions:
After creating my pdf form and sending it to the client, once they have filled this in is there a way to restrict the document from being edited again?
How do a add a submit button to the end of my form so that it automatically gets sent in an email?
First time user

Read documentation on CF8 : "Although forms created in
LiveCycle Designer allow several types of submission, including XDP
and XML, ColdFusion 8 can extract data from HTTP post and PDF
submissions only".

OAS 10G Forms and Reports Forms - Removing old sessions

I am currently running Oracle Application Server 10.1.2.0.2 Forms and Reports Services Install.The problem that I am experiencing is that some users don't log out of our application and after 8 hours of inactivity our DB logs the users out of Oracle. This leaves forms sessions attached to the application server. Is there a way that I can remove these connections without having to manually log into Enterprise manager and disconnect them? I was hoping to be able to run a script at night and disconnect all sessions that have been connected for x number of hours or better yet find an option that I can configure in my forms setup to limit connect_time to a certain length of time. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Have you modfied the timeout parameter ? This will help to exit the application when there is no activity

Difference between Smart Forms and Adobe Form

Hi all,
What are disadvantages of Smart form in SAP ,
What is difference between Smart Forms and Adobe interactive Form.
I heard from someone that in future Adobe interactive Form will repalce smart forms. Is it true or not
Best Regards
Srikanth

Hi,
Companies depend on formal documents that reflect their corporate identities and contain critical business information from live systems. SAP and Adobe partnered for automating and streamlining forms-based communication to support customers who create reusable forms for their business processes.
SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe will be used more and more as a way of simplifying and automating manual processes.
There are various advantages of Adobe forms.
SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe provides all the features and functions you need to create form-based output, such as order confirmations, invoices, or pay slips. You can either print such documents or send them by email or FAX.
Online Interactive Forms
A user logs on to the company intranet to fill in a form required by the HR department (for example, a Non-Disclosure Agreement to be signed by a new employee). The form is displayed in the browser.
As the user is logged on in the background to the company's HR system, his master data is displayed in the form. The user enters the required information in the fillable fields of the interactive form, and sends the data back to the system by pushing a button. The system extracts the data from the form and saves it in the database.
Offline Interactive Forms
The purchasing department of a company creates a bid in its Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system and selects the potential vendors. Based upon this data, the system automatically creates interactive bidding forms with specific vendor information, such as the address or contact person.
The forms are transmitted to the vendors by email. The vendors can fill out the forms offline (without being connected to the system that created the forms) and transmit them back to the company. The company then processes the forms automatically, and the data provided by the vendors is written to the ERP system. The purchasing department uses the data to evaluate the quotation and then issues an order.
With the integration of Adobe PDF technology into its solutions, SAP will be able to further extend its offerings of end-to-end business solutions by:
Providing for the first time the capabilities of Adobe's interactive PDF-based forms.
Integrating PDF documents into business processes that are driven by SAP applications.
Automating the process of moving XML data from SAP applications into interactive forms and vice versa.
Reducing time to design, manage, and maintain extended forms-based processes through easy-to-use forms design and deployment tools.
Offering its customers enhanced printing capabilities, in particular for interactive Web applications.
The focus of new forms technology from SAP is interactive PDF-based forms that can be created in SAP systems as a result of the integration of Adobe technology with Web Dynpro and the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio. This integration means that adobe is the future technology.
Regards,
Kate

Automatic tests for "smart forms" and SAPScript

Hi there,
we have some really horrible SAPScript and SmartForms here, mixing up presentation with business logic and database table selects in the layout (!).
We want to refactor these objects. We have some test data at hand to continouously reproduce the form. And we have some expectations on the output document. The result could be saved as a PDF document and then scanned by an appropriate tool?
Other approaches?
Any experiences out there?
How to write Unit Tests? Is this possible at all? Or is integration test the only option?
Regards,
Rüdiger

Hello Naimash,
thank you for the answer. I didn't know this menu path. There is a function module SSFDISPLAY_OTF_LIST underlying this menu path. I will check out wether this module can be called in the background. It can be combined with the usual conversion of ABAP lists to plain text (as used in "System->List->Save to file"). Finally, regular expressions or a common diff tool can be used to check the expectations. All this could equally well be performed in an ABAP program.
Since all the texts of the smartform appears in the result document, this permits to check at least all the form content. Layout and images get lost. But this could be verified after the redesign in the integration test phase. For the refactoring process, verification of the text content for various processes will be sufficient.
Thanks and regards,
Rüdiger

In SAPScript what's the difference between std form and Preconfigured form?
