Offline scenario

Hi,
I have developed an application for the offline scenario of interactive adobe form. I tried to load the adobe form from my desktop. After pressing the button "Display form" it throws an error "Parse method is not possible for this type". Could someone let me know how to get rid of this error?
thanks
anantharam

Hi,
Can someone please help me with a step by step error to this problem?
If I include wdContext.getNodeInfo().getAttribute("pdfObject").getModifiableSimpleType() in the doInit() method of the view I receive this error -
com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.context.ContextException: MappedAttributeInfo(UploadView.pdfObject): must not modify the datatype of a mapped attribute
When I comment it out and upload I receive the error enclosed -
Parse method is not possible for this type
Any help is highly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Divya

ABAP IAF - Make Fields Editable in Offline Scenario

Hello all,
Good day!
I just want to ask if its possible to make field modifiable for the ABAP Interactive Adobe Forms (transaction SFP) in an Offline Scenario?
I ask because when I set a textfield as (user entered) during the preview section in the Livecycle Design Editor the fields can be modified. However once I use the FM to generate the print preview and save the PDF locally the field cannot be modified.
Is there a way in how to make this possible?
I hope to hear from you soon.
Thanks and Regards

Chad,
I just had the same issue.
I created an offline, interactive form in SFP and just called it using ABAP. The form came up and I could enter data, BUT it would not save.
The trick is to make sure you provide a valid interface mapping between a DDIC object and the interface.
Create an DDIC structure that matches your form fields, and make sure you pass it in the FM call and it's defined in the interface. Then map the fields to your form fields.
btw, i'm using
SFPDOCPARAMS-FILLABLE = 'X'.
SFPDOCPARAMS-DYNAMIC = 'X'.

Offline Scenario - How to Automatically Manipulate Fields

Hello all,
Good day! I would just like to ask in Adobe Interactive Forms using ABAP if its possible to modify fields automatically?
So example scenario is let's say this a table with a modifiable field sorted by Operation and there is a field where you can place a value A, B,and C.
Ex structure in PDF
Sub-Operation
Catalog - Drop Down
Priority (A, B, C).
There is another table in the PDF form. Sorted by catalog and what it will is that it will populate the A, B, C fields based on the Catalog. Sorted by Catalog.
Ex Structure
Catalog
A
B
C
Also keep in mind that since you can input the Catalog in the first table, the 2nd table should be appended.
Not sure if this is possible via ABAP in the offline scenario, though if this is required using Java Script your help will still be welcome (just let me know how to code it in the events).
Thanks and Regards

For a dynamic form like that, you will certainly have to code it in Formcalc or Javascript. you need to check the Adobe Help for examples.
It provides lots of examples on how to code in Formcalc and Javascript. You may even want to join the Live Cycle Designers group over at google groups for specific coding questions.

Interactive Forms by Adobe in Web Dynpro for ABAP: offline scenario

Hi colleagues,
I have the following problem:
So I created a web-Dynpro with an interactive from. In this application there are two scenarios:
- An Online scenario: it works!
- An Offline scenario: unfortunately doesnt work (The problem persists in this scenario).
As I understood correct, I should be able to upload the PDF-file from my documents. But the up-load option doesnt work.
Please see the steps I follow:
1. I created a FileUpload-application and then I browsed a PDF- File by using browse-button. And I got a standard open-window and I was able to choose a PDF-file, which I want to open.
2. I click on the button upload and it doesnt work. But the current page is only refreshed. In case it works, I should see the information I have uploaded onto my PDF-form.
I already discussed this issue with my colleague, but couldnt find the solution yet.
Does anybody have the idea, why the Upload option doesnt work?
Thank you in advance!
Kind Regards,
Mohamed

Hi Mahamed,
I got your problem. You have not done anything wrong.
It is WebAS version which is not supported for this functionality.
But there is solution to this problem
Please refer to the SAP Note number - 1055738.
I think you will get the answer and the scenario described there will match your requirement.
This is a know issues with WebDypro ABAP but this works fine for Java Web Dynpro.
I have also tried for 2 months but finally came to know about it.

Enable AIF for adding Attachments in Offline scenario

Hi,
I know it is possible to add attachments in a Interactive Form, you can add them by ABAP (as you see with a trace-file). But how can I do this when the user wants to add an Attachment (in a offline scenario) it seems to mee that Reader Rights is not enough.
Some a suggestion ? How I can obtain this.
Useful answers will be rewarded.
Kind Regards,
Jeroen Cosijnse

After new installations it seems that attaching files is included in the ReaderRight Credential

Offline Scenario with NW04

Hello,
we have an ECC 5.0 system (NW 04) and would like to implement an offline scenario (CS).
Is there a way to do this in ABAP or is it only possible in the Java stack?
Which restrictions do you see in general in a NW04 environment?
Thanks,
Michael

Actually not the answer to my question.
It is clear that ADS is always installed on the Java stack.
the question was which possiblities exist for offline scenarios under NW04.
Thanks,

Adobe Interactive Form - Offline Scenario

Dear Experts,
I am new to this feature. I am developing sap interactive form with offline scenario. I try to put the button in adobe designer and call my Function module that exposed as web services.
Questions
1. When I execute, It was failed. Do I need to install adobe professional in order to make it work?
2. What can I see, we can put Java Script code. In the end user side, do we need to install adobe professional or adobe reader is enough?
Many many thanks.
Thanks & Regards,
L.Mochisuki

Hi,
At the user end, Adobe Reader is enough to call the web service. What is the issue that you are facing while calling the web service? If you search you will get many threads which explains the steps of calling web service.

WebService Calls in Adobe Forms Offline Scenario

Hi,
I think this topic was discussed, but I have a very specific question.
I need to create an interactive form to be used in an offline scenario but consuming a webservice from an ABAP backend on user request.
I understand you need to create and configure the web service on ABAP side using SOAMANAGER, and you need to create a data connection using the binding WSDL in the Forms Designer.
For security reasons I would like to have a basic authentication at least. According to several blog entries this should be possible.
Now the dilemma: it seems that in SOAMANAGER you can only create a web service with basic authentication using HTTPS.
BUT: Adobe Life Cycle Designer does not support HTTPS.
The only option to not use authentication at all is not an option for me.
So, does anybody have the same problem and a solution?
Is SOAMANAGER changed that way or did I just not find the right configuration possibilities?
If it is that restrictiveL since when? It was different in NW 7.0, SP 14. I am currently working with SP 18.
Please respond if you can provide any helpful insight.
Michael

I hope you are putting the code in the click event of a a custom Regular button and not using the one that can be drag-drop from the connectionset.
Try sap-username as parameter instead of sap-user in above code statement.
var cURL = "http://....?sap-client=<client no>&sap-username=<username>&sap-password=<password>" ;

PMS Offline Scenario - Download Issue

Hi all,
(Detailed Description of the Issue)
We are in process of implementing PMS(Performance Management System) Offline Scenario and We are facing issues while implementing.
We are able to create an appraisal form through the apraisal template "Performance Goal Setting" (TCODE : OOAM). While we are performing the Offline process, downloading the appraisal form from either as Part appraiser or final appraiser,(Normally a popup window will get openned, which will have the option to download form to the local desktop), for us popup window opens and closed immediately with out showing the option to downlaod the form. And as per the PMS offline scenario whenever an apraisal form is get downloaded, it will be locked (offline lock) automatically (TcODE : PHAP_ADMIN).For us also the form is getting locked (Offline Lock).
Note : We are executing an standard BSP application.

Offline scenario - post data from saved form to SQLServer

This is the scenario am struggling to develop. User downloads the interactive form. Goes offline. I mean no connection to the Web Application Server. But he will have access to a SQLServer database (it may be on his machine or in his intranet). He will fill the form and save it on his local hard disk. Now, I want his saved form data to be posted to the SQLServer. I thought about a couple of ways to do this.
1) Is it possible to change the control type of 'Submit' button to submit and then in the URL field, call some ASP page (this page is deployed on a local IIS) and then submit the form fields to that ASP page which takes care of database connection, posting etc. So user downloads form only once. But fills it with different data each time and clicks submit. First of all, will submit button work when the form is not opened in web browser? I mean when it is saved on a local hard disk opened in a standalone Adobe Reader?
2) Is it possible to write some java program using any APIs and extract the data from the form saved on local hard disk? It may be possible because I have the .xdp file for the form. But I dont know if there are some APIs available to do the same.
Any inputs whether these ideas are feasible? Any other new ideas are also welcome. Thanks in advance.

Hi Narayana,
if you want to export xml data from Reader to local disk you can use a command:
xfa.host.exportData("",0);
It works like from menu Export data from Forms.
To your second post:
Yes, you can save form in Adobe Live cycle designer as pdf and you can open it in Adobe Reader and test it. It will work.
In tab Submit for your button set these properties:
Submit Format: XML Data (XML)
Submit to URL: url of your page
Encoding: UTF8
Here is a sample code in c# for asp.net. Insert method save to your asp.net page and call it from method Page_Load.
          using System;
          using System.IO;
          using System.Web;
          private void save()
               const int coniBufferLen=1024;
               string lsTmpFile;
               try
                    lsTmpFile="c:\adobe\body.pdf.xml.txt"; // File on local disk where to save xml data sent by Reader. IIS needs rights to write here.
                    FileStream loFS=null;
                    try {loFS=File.Create(lsTmpFile);}
                    catch (Exception e1)
                         // TODO

                    while (liLen>0)
                         try

                              loFS.Write(laResponse,0,liLen);

Updation Of Database in offline scenario

Hi experts,
The scenario is, Suppose a user who is not connected to R/3 system or to a company's intranet is having a PDF file.After entering the values in the editable fields when he presses the submit button, all the details should get update in the database.
What should be my approach in this scenario.
How can I find solution for this problem.
Kindly provide me the step by step explanation.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Simi,
There are couple of ways of doing it.
1) You can build a webdynpro application with an interactive form which will call the webservice so that
   you can pass , or retreive data.
2) You can invoke webservice from Adobe reader it self , but you have to use Webdynpro at designtime.
    Once the form is ready, you have to render this form in WAS then you can open the file with adobe
    reader and click submit button which triggers Webservice. Basically you need to have WSDL file of
   your RFC and create Data connection in your form and upload this wsdl file and you need to make
   few changes in the form XML content.
I have one document (by Gilles Atlan) which talks about IF and Webservice integration. But I dont have the SDN link from where I have donwloaded. Give me your email. I will forward to that.

Passing Data from Adobe to WD Java Offline Scenario

Hi All,
I have a web dynpro for java component that has 2 views
View 1. Upload View
View 2. Interactive Adobe View
I have an offline adobe form with two parameter First and Last Names. When I fill the form and then upload it (using view 1).When I click on a button display form it branches to View 2 above and displays the form with the filled in values. Now in the second view I have a Submit to SAP Button embedded within the Adobe form. When I click on the button Submit it should display by passing the values back to the web dynpro component. Here I see that the values passed back are null.
I am also invoking ContainerFoundation_JS.SendMessageToContainer(event.target, "submit", "", "", "", ""); within the javascript of the Submit To SAP button. But, still it doesnt seem to pass the values back to WD Java.
Kindly help me resolve this issue? I sincerely appreciate any help extended.
Many thanks,
Best regards,
Divya

I had to have scripting done on the form to invoke this back to webdynpro for java.

Tks
Ivo Hashimoto

Hi,
Whether its Ooffline or Online Adobe Interactive Form and/or whether its WebDynpro ABAP/JAVA you can use the WebService to post data to SAP or retrieve the data dynamically from SAP to fill some fields based on some fields entered.
Do review this Thread, I think this will help you.
