Offline Interactive Form Upload for creating Business Transaction

Hi All,
I am using CRM Web Request for creating Business Transaction through Offline Interactive Adobe Form.
For that i have done PDF upload coding and then converting the PDF form to XML format.
Now the XML format of form is converted to string from xstring.
And then passing the XML to function module CRM_WEBREQ_EXTERN_CREATE_DOC along with the corresponding request category configured for the web request.Created the corresponding request category structure also.
still the business transaction is not getting created, the following error message is coming "XML incompatible for data structure of request category" .
Please respond if anybody has done the same scenario.
Or is there any other process that can be followed to upload offline interactive adobe form to create one order object.
Regards,
Madhu

Hi Maarten,
Is that aatribute binded to Dropdown field lying under a node of cardinality 1..1??
I think if that's so, ur error can be resolved by just putting this attribute in a node with cardinality 1..n.
Hope this helps..!!
Thanks,
Amita

Hi Otto,
Sorry for replying lately. First of all I did not get your suggestions as your are editing the same posting.
Secondly we will be using WDJ. Actually in between SAP Portal and ECC we are having adobe LCES so we need to create Interactive form using XML only. Once it is filled again the form will be submitted to another application which is running on FLEX, which will process the order.
if you can give me your personal id i can send you the detailed process
Thanks

Offline Interactive Forms (Web Dynpro for ABAP)

Hi Everyone.
Please help me!!!
Upload Offline PDF file to xstring context attribute by file upload in Web Dynpro parts.
Set Offline PDF file uploaded via xstring context attribute in 'pdfSource' property of interactive form.
I wish to view Offline PDF file and get data to context in 'dataSource' property of interactive form.
Below restriction.
- Web Dynpro for ABAP
- Offline Interactive Forms
- Zero Client Installation
- ABAP Dictionary-Based Interface
NetWeaver 7.0 (NW 7.0) SPS16

Hi Daisuke,
As per your requirement, to get done your work you need to create two Adobe Forms , one is for Offline Interactive Form and other is Online Interactive Form.
In offline Interactive you design your form and define the Layout type as zci layout and Abap Dictionary Based interface. And by executing the form you can save the form to your desktop.
Now in online Interactive Form you create the context similar to the one which has been created in the Offline Interactive Form. Now in one view you define the file upload functionality and in other view you define the adobe interactive form, for this the interface is automatically as it asks for the context and its of type XML based interface, also do maintain the context variable something like "PDFDATASTRING" with type XSTRING in the Component Controller and now in adobe view you give the property pdfstring as "PDFDATASTRING" and dont forget to provide the navigation of these two view, and set the File Upload View as default view.
The above functionality can help you in some way or the other.

Hi Arafat,
I followed the how to do document https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/user-interface-technology/wd%20java/wdjava%20archive/offline%20interactive%20pdf%20form%20using%20download.pdf , and it mentioned what you just said. But I couldn't understand your suggestion "In second view you need to embed the IF element and create the required context attributs mapping for fields. Set the pdfMode as usePDF."
In the second view, I have created another interactive form for previewing the offline form.
I am able to preview the offline form. On submit action (submit button is on the view), when I print the context values, I get nulls.
Thanks

In Bdc I have huge volume of data to upload for the given transaction

Hi gurus,
In Bdc I have huge volume of data to upload for the given transaction, here am using session method, it takes lots of exection time to complete the whole transaction, Is there any other method to process the huge volume with minimum time,
reward awaiting
with regards
Thambe

Selection of BDC Method depends on the type of the requirement you have. But you can decide which one will suite requirement basing the difference between the two methods. The following are the differences between Session & Call Transaction.
Session method.
1) synchronous processing.
2) can tranfer large amount of data.
3) processing is slower.
4) error log is created
5) data is not updated until session is processed.
Call transaction.
1) asynchronous processing
2) can transfer small amount of data
3) processing is faster.
4) errors need to be handled explicitly
5) data is updated automatically
Batch Data Communication (BDC) is the oldest batch interfacing technique that SAP provided since the early versions of R/3. BDC is not a typical integration tool, in the sense that, it can be only be used for uploading data into R/3 and so it is
not bi-directional.
BDC works on the principle of simulating user input for transactional screen, via an ABAP program.
Typically the input comes in the form of a flat file. The ABAP program reads this file and formats the input data screen by screen into an internal table (BDCDATA). The transaction is then started using this internal table as the input and executed in the background.
In Call Transaction, the transactions are triggered at the time of processing itself and so the ABAP program must do the error handling. It can also be used for real-time interfaces and custom error handling & logging features. Whereas in
Batch Input Sessions, the ABAP program creates a session with all the transactional data, and this session can be viewed, scheduled and processed (using Transaction SM35) at a later time. The latter technique has a built-in error processing mechanism too.
Batch Input (BI) programs still use the classical BDC approach but doesnt require an ABAP program to be written to format the BDCDATA. The user has to format the data using predefined structures and store it in a flat file. The BI program then reads this and invokes the transaction mentioned in the header record of the file.
Direct Input (DI) programs work exactly similar to BI programs. But the only difference is, instead of processing screens they validate fields and directly load the data into tables using standard function modules. For this reason, DI programs are much faster (RMDATIND - Material Master DI program works at least 5 times faster) than the BDC counterpart and so ideally suited for loading large volume data. DI programs are not available for all application areas.
synchronous & Asynchronous updating:
http://www.icesoft.com/developer_guides/icefaces/htmlguide/devguide/keyConcepts4.html
synchronous & Asynchronous processings
Asynchronous refers to processes that do not depend on each other's outcome, and can therefore occur on different threads simultaneously. The opposite is synchronous. Synchronous processes wait for one to complete before the next begins. For those Group Policy settings for which both types of processes are available as options, you choose between the faster asynchronous or the safer, more predictable synchronous processing.
By default, the processing of Group Policy is synchronous. Computer policy is completed before the CTRLALTDEL dialog box is presented, and user policy is completed before the shell is active and available for the user to interact with it.
Note
You can change this default behavior by using a policy setting for each so that processing is asynchronous. This is not recommended unless there are compelling performance reasons. To provide the most reliable operation, leave the processing as synchronous.

Missing code in "Offline Interactive Forms Using ABAP" SDN document?

I am trying to build a sample offline form scenario using the code published in the SDN document "Offline Interactive Forms Using ABAP" written by Vani Krishnamoorthy. Everything works perfectly up to the point where we instantiate the PDF Object to extract the data from the form. Then there seems to be some code missing just before we call the method SET_DOCUMENT. We are supposed to export the parameter pdfdata = pdf_data , but I cannot find where pdf_data variable is declared or assigned. Also, an ENDTRY statement seems to be missing.
Has anyone had success with Vani's offline scenario, and if so, do you know what code is missing, if any?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

I found the missing code in sample program FP_PDF_TEST_06. Everything works well now.
The PDF file that was uploaded from the PC first needs to be converted from binary to XSTRING before you can create the PDF object:
data: lt_rawtab type standard table of raw255,
        g_pdfdata type xstring,
        l_len type i.
call method cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_upload
    exporting
      filename                = l_filename
      filetype                = 'BIN'
    importing
      filelength              = l_len
    changing
      data_tab                = lt_rawtab   "PDF file (binary)
    exceptions
      file_open_error         = 1
      file_read_error         = 2
      etc. etc.
Convert binary tab to Xstring
call function 'SCMS_BINARY_TO_XSTRING'
    exporting
      input_length = l_len
    importing
      buffer       = g_pdfdata              "converted to Xstring
    tables
      binary_tab   = lt_rawtab
    exceptions
      failed       = 1
      others       = 2.
if sy-subrc is not initial.
    message id sy-msgid type sy-msgty number sy-msgno
               with sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
endif.
Instantiate PDF object..
data: l_fp     type ref to if_fp value is initial,
        l_pdfobj type ref to if_fp_pdf_object value is initial,
        l_fpex    type ref to cx_fp_runtime,
        l_type    type string,
        l_errmsg type string.
Get FP reference
l_fp = cl_fp=>get_reference( ).

"No transaction type is available for creating a transaction" service order

Hi all,
I am new in IC .
I try to create service order or service ticket for incoming calls
We are using CRM 7.0
After I confirm the account I try to create service order
But no screen displayed and error "No transaction type is available for creating a transaction" occurs
in customizing there is a transaction type SRVO, also I copied it to ZRVO
But here how can I define that this transaction type is assigned to this application??
Please reply in detail steps.
Thank you.

Hi Rupesh,
Thanks for your reply..
I made a lot of controls but I can't find where I am wrong..
My senario is, taking phones, create interaction record and create order for further investigation.
I copied IC_AGENT role.
I copied transaction type 0010 to Z010
I create business transaction named ZBTP for transaction type Z010
I made Define Transaction Types for Navigation for Z010
Then Define Business Role -> Assign Function Profiles
Here I assign my business transaction ZBTP to IC_BT function profile
But when I connect tot the system with user having this business role
I can create interaction record with type Z010, it is ok.
When I press Service Order it gives this error.
Work center id for Service order is : IC_UIU_SVO
I copied my business role from IC_AGENT, and here this work center id was not active
In my business role I made it active. Is this work center can't used in IC senario
Also how can I understand which transaction type is needed for it??
If I know which transaction type is needed to create service order or service ticket under IC, then I will control it of course..
I also copied transaction type TSVO(service IC) to ZSVO and do the above things for this type too..
But nothing changed..
Please help !!

Sending Offline Interactive Form Via Email

Hi,
I am running NW 2004s SPS09 and trying to configure GP to use offline adobe interactive forms. As of now, I am able to create a callable object from an Adobe template, prefill fields from other background execution/web service callable objects, and launch a process when the form is submitted via email. I am having trouble routing the form to the next processor through email. I created an interactive form callable object, checked 'Enable Use In Guided Procedures' and selected 'Create Offline Interactive Form And Send By E-Mail'. My first thought was that there was some delay in the sending of emails, but callable objects in other processes that send plain text notifications work fine. The process does not enter an erroneous state and waits at that action. Looking at the GP monitor under NW administration, the correct processor is set for the action, but the task does not appear in the user's UWL or GP runtime center (I figure this is because the task is meant to be completed offline). Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks!
~Greg

Turned out the 'switchToNewMailCommunication' property for the GP service was set to true when it should have been false.

No transaction type is available for creating a transaction (IC WebUI )

Hello,
I'm tying to link WebUI business transactions (create transactions of
business activity, service order, service confirmation)to the IC WebUI.
I linked logical ID to the workcenter and assigned generic OP to the
nav.bar profile and activated workcenter screen in the business role.
I think that WebUI business transaction screen itself is well attached.
But When I click the workcenter(logical ID is directely linked the
workcenter). There are message:"No transaction type is available for
creating a transaction". So, I cannot select any transaction type and
go to the biz.tran.create sceen. there are lot's of transaction type of
business activity.(Appointment). I got the same problem to the WebUI
service order create transaction.
But, Linking WebUI service confirmation creation screen to the IC WebUI is sucessful: I can
select transaction type of service confirmation.
I don't know any difference between them.
If you guys have any idea, please let me know.
Thanks
Mickey.

Dear Kunstelj ,
I found the solution with your suggestion.
But What I did is a little bit different.
I assigned two channel IAC interaction center, IAW Interaction center WebClient to the transaction type not GUI CRM Webclient UI. So It does work!!.
Thank you for your help. I really appreciate it.
Best regards,
Mikyoug Kim.
