LSO RBC with Print Workbench

Dear Expert,
Can anyone share on any How-to-guide or blog which highlights step by step on how to create RBC correspondence for LSO, especially how the form and application classes are related and used in an Adobe Print Form / Smartform with the Print Workbench ? Thank you.

As always it is recommended that you search the SAP Help first then when you have specific questions you can post that. Your question is so broad it is difficult to know where to start to answer it.
Print Workbench is divided into the following subobjects:
Form Classes
Application Forms
You can call up the Print Workbench via the area menu PWB.
Form Class- containes the underlying data hierarchy for the application. The attributes of a form class contain controlling information that is relevant for further processing in the Application Form. (see example PWB_FLIGHT_NOTIFICATION). Generally you use one of the standard SAP Form Classes but you can create your own. (Transaction EFCS). Refer to SAP Help on creating Form Classes and Form Levels.
Application Form - Consists of properties/attributes, hierarchy, SAPscript/Smart Form, SAPscript text, User Exit Includes, Generated print program. The hierarchy is determined by the assigned Form Class. (Transaction EFRM)
You create your SAPScript (or Smart Form) with the necessary windows.
You may enter text directly in the SAPScript (if there are no variables) or you add the text to the appropriate form levels in the Application Form.
At each form level you are able to add user exits - before, during and after looping through the level.
You can also add text exits for the text added.
When you activate the Application Form a print program is generated.
you create a print request which adds the record to the correspondence container (the transaction used depends on what correspondence you are creating) then you go to transaction FPCOPARA to print the correspondence.
This is a high-level overview. No quick answer to your question other than to once again refer you to the SAP Help. Hopefully it gives you a place to start.

Integration of Print Workbench with Smartforms

I am currently working on Print Workbench.I need a detailed documentation of print workbench with Smartforms.I already have with me the information from link http://www.sap.com/industries/media/pdf/FICAPWB_EN.pdf
and also sap help.
But these don't provide a detailed step by step procedure on the same.If any body has such documentation Please provide the same.
Thanks in advance.

Bogdan,
I don't think that statement is true as we have developed SMART Forms for PM in 4.6C itself.
In the transaction OID1, all you have to do is to specify the SMART Form name and the print program name. I guess if you are developing a SMART Form, you will have a custom print program.
So, you need to specify the FORM sub routine in the OID1 which will be dynamically called by the standard code and from there your custom program calls the smart form and prints the relevant info.

About Print Workbench

Hi guru's,
I am implementing SAP LSO recently. I want to use the Print Workbench(Collections) to create an email with a Attachment(NOT PDF Format). How can I do that?
for example:
When learner book a course, system will send a email(with attachment in outlook appointment format) to him/her.
I add two smartforms in the Collections, one is email content, the other is outlook appointment file content, I set the Attachment indicator in the outlook appointment file content smartform in the Collections, but when I received the email, the attachment is PDF format. How can I change the format of the attachment or is there any way to do so?(BADI?)
Thank you!
Tommy

Hi
in ecc6 the procedure adopted in efrm is as follows
1.efrm t code
type the application form name u wish 2 activate
click enter
in the next screen click activate button
2.for creating a new form
gv ur form name ex ZIS_U_WA_ORDER_DOWNLOAD
and click in menu bar copy from client
copy from 000 to ur client id
and u can see in the next screen all forms and application forms created in new name starting with z...
and save in english
thats it in the ecc6 version
differnece between sapcripts and smartforms are based on client depenedecies
smartforms areclient dependent and sap scriots are clienct independent
coloured logos can be made in smart forms not in sap scripts
smart forms is always easier since it s the advanced of sapscript concept..
foor more clear differnce contacta technical consultant near u
in case if u dnt want the pdf format try for either sapscripts and smartforms for the same format u want or prepare ur own in them
thanks ans regards

Print Workbench file

Hello
I would like to know what is the best way to work with files in the print workbench. The 3rd part company wants to work with txt files.
Should I create XML(SmartForm), or RDI(SAPscript) and then convert to txt?
Online documentation has a lot of stuff, but i would like to know if someone has experienced the same problem.

Use printer defined with device type ASCIIPRI when printing and set 'Standard format' as output format in the smartform general attributes.

How to pass data from smartform to user exits in appl form print workbench

Dear All,
I am using print workbench + smartforms to develop a form.
But facing problem with passing data from the smartform back to
the user exits includes in the application form of the print workbench.
For eg:- Supppose the case , passing the total number of pages 'sfsy-formapages' to the application form .
I tried with the export interface of the smartform, still it doesn't works!
Any suggestions/solutions
Thanks
santhv

Hi Prashanti,
Thank you very much...
Using EXPORT/IMPORT , I am able to pass the data.
But I would like to know whether it is the final solution.
As there is export interface is available for smartform....
why it is not possible to get back the data in Application form.
Please confirm, so that I can close the post.
Anyway thank you once again....

Print Workbench tool

Hi guru's,
newly i Print workbench objects, i con't understand the scenario of the Form class, Application form, User exit include, User top include and how can pass the data from Application form to smartfrom.
how can we enhance the user top include and user exit include.
Plea let me know the full information with example (if its possible)
Regards,
sri.

PWB : Form class is a Template or a class or an object .
We will enhance this object by creating Application form.(Ex: Badi we are implementing rite).
Start-Exit : We will initialize the objects....Like clearing the variables like this
End Exit : We write code for creating a flat file or RDI file
Next there are three main user exits for our Business Scenarios
Don't write Select queries in PWB, most of the data it will come by running the application form. Select the node and see the structure it will come data through these structures. If you are not finding your required fields then write the select query.
Before Loop: if you want to modify your internal table before loop you can modify in this user exit.
After Loop: Final internal table population
During Loop: For multiple entries for example your node is Table it will have multiple entries. You want that data or you want to manuplate this data you can use this user-exits.

Shiva Kumar

Print Workbench generating txt file

Hello,
we are using Print Workbench to generate bill forms. We will send a file to the Print Center.
The problem is that our form (SmartForm) generates a XML file, and the Print Center expects to receive a TXT file.
Does anybody know how to generate the TXT file directly?
We don't want to generate XML and then convert to TXT...
Cheers
Adriano

Print WorkBench in ISU

Can anyone send me the documents on print work bench.
T.Code: EFRM.
[email protected]
Thanks

Hi,
The Print Workbench is the central development environment for creating standardized outgoing correspondence. To configure the correspondence forms, the Print Workbench uses the SAP standard components for configuring forms SAPscript or Smart Forms.
The Print Workbench is subdivided into the following subobjects:
· Form classes
Form classes are defined by SAP applications and contain a modeling as well as access instructions for all of the data that belongs to an application or an application process. You can use form classes to create application forms where you access the data defined in the form classes. Invoices, dunning notices, and account statements are examples of form classes. The form classes are delivered with each application component that use the Print Workbench. Changes to form classes delivered have modification status.
· Application forms
You create application forms based on the form classes delivered. You can define several application forms for each form class, for example, different invoices for different business partner groups. SAP delivers example forms that you can use as a reference for your own application forms. You can use user exits to adjust the application forms to your requirements. Numerous help functions simplify form creation.
You can call up the Print Workbench via the area menu PWB.
Integration
The Print Workbench (CA-GTF-PWB) is a component of the Web Application Server (Release 6.20) and it can be used with no further prerequisites by every other SAP application. In the Print Workbench you can use Smart Forms (BC-SRV-SSF) and SAPscript (BC-SRV-SCR) alternatively.

Unable To Communicate With Printer HP Officejet Pro 8600 (Network)

I recently purchased an HP Officejet Pro 8600. One morning a couple weeks ago I tried to print something and I received a prompt saying "Unable to Communicate with Printer (Network)". I turned off the printer and turned it back on which did not help, I then turned off my wireless network, turned it back on and still nothing. I finally figured out that I first have to turn off the printer, then turn off my wireless router wait thirty seconds, turn the router back on and the turn the printer back on. After these steps my printer was working. The next morning the same thing happened "Unable to Communicate with Printer (Network)" and I've been replaying Groundhog's Day ever since.
Please help!

Hello msheehy-
I would like to help you with this issue. It sounds like the router is changing the ip address of the printer. This could be caused by a couple reasons. (ip lease time, power loss to the router) I would recommend looking at the following link. http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03781399&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=4323648&tmp...
I think if you would set a static ip address in the printer EWS you would better off. I hope this helps.

HP Officejet Pro 8100 unable to communicate with printer, but still prints

Hello,
I have an Officejet Pro 8100 connected to a Windows XP SP3 computer via USB.
When installing I downloaded the latest drivers off the HP webiste and followed the instructions for installing the printer and connecting via USB. While installing I only installed the basic print driver.
The printer appeared to install correctly.
When printing (test page, or from other programs such as Word or Excell), the printer will actually print the requested document, however, an error box will pop up saying "Unable to communicate with printer". The only option on the error box is the cancel the current print job.
Before cancelling the print job, even though the printer actually printed the document, I can still see the document in the print queue until I click the "Cancel" button on the error box.
I have deleted the printer, uninstalled and reinstalled twice, but the issue persists.
Any ideas?

Hi aconway,
I hate to hear you are having issues. This could be caused by a port issue, bad USB cable/hub/switch connection, or possibly a spooler or driver issue. Click Here to run the print and scan doctor (select OS, then click the + sign beside utility diagnostic tools, click the download button next to print and scan doctor). If you would like to learn more about your product, Click Here.
Suggestions:
1. Run the print and scan doctor to identify any port issues
2. Connect unit directly to PC with new USB cable that meets specifications(no longer than 4-6ft).
3. Remove any hubs or switches if being used.
Hope this helps!

Is it possible to integrate LSO 600 with an external system without SAP PI?

Hi,
as asked in the title, i am wondering if it is possible to integrate LSO 600 with an external (non-SAP) system without using SAP PI/XI. The external system is a middleware application which can handle RFC functions, IDocs besides the usual web service communications.
However, i don't know how LSO and SAP PI are integrated so i wonder if their interfaces are such that instead of SAP PI another middleware could be used.

Web Services are used. If you were to implement the services in your 3rd party middleware and configure SAP to call it, I suppose it is possible. The external course catalog can be used for CourseEnrollment and LearningProgress. See the application help for details. Don't expect to receive support from SAP with such a setup however.

I am using Firefox 11 and I am unable to print web pages. I can print PDFs ok. I tried to open the prefs.js file to delete anything that starts with print and I get an error message.

I cannot print web pages. I've tried the solutions suggested like deleting anything that starts with print in the prefs.js file but I get an error message: Script: c:\users\rick\appdata\roading\mozilla\firefox\profiles\iviwh5c1.default\prefs.js
line: 1
Char: 1
Error: invalid character
code: 800A03F6
Source: Microsoft JScript compilation error

When editing '''prefs.js''' you need to use a simple text editor program. WinXP Notepad messes up the line formatting of prefs.js, so I use Wordpad - but you need to save the edited file in a Text-Only format (Wordpad asks about that when you go to save the edited file). I never used Win7, so I don't know if that version of Notepad messes with the line formatting of prefs.js or not.
Another thing - make sure '''''"Hide extensions for known file types"''''' is de-delected in Windows file / folder options > view -> advanced settings. Otherwise Windows may add a .txt file extension that you won't be able to see, and that will break that file in Firefox. '''prefs.js.txt''' won't be recognized by Firefox, when is expecting to find '''''prefs.js''''' .
