PCR with Adobe forms for MySAP ERP2004 / NW04 SP9

Hi all,
We would like to use the MSS PCR functionality with Adobe forms. Since we are using NW04 SP9 and MySAP ERP2004 (ECC5.0), we cannot use the Adobe forms yet.
SAP said this functionality will be released today (15/11).
I am wondering what we need to upgrade to get this working. Is this a bug in ECC, in Adobe Forms, WebDynpro (BP for MSS) or a PCUI_GP bug?
regards,
Noel

Hi Heike,
Good to know these forms are only available in German and English. I assume we can translate them ourselves and use them.
We tried to get the 2 scenarios working, but every time we run into a problem: "Template could not be read from the backend". For this we already created a customer message, but it takes quite a while for an answer. Not strange, since it is new and hot technology
We have 2 servers now: One is the application server (with WebDynpro, R/3 backend, ECC50) - Java and ABAP stack installed (AIX).
On the other server we have running the portal and Adobe Document Server. This runs only on a Java stack (NT).
In the Adobe Configuration Guide we ran against a problem configuring the DestinationService (Basic authentication on the ABAP side). On the Java/ABAP server (server 1) we need to configure the com.adobe/AdobeDocumentService classes (security). Since Adobe is installed on server 2 (without the ABAP stack), we cannot configure the basic authentication properly (if we follow the guideliness).
Regards,
Noel

UI Attributes - RFC error when displaying PCR with Adobe forms

Hello All,
I am receiving an UI Attributes/RFC error when I display a PCR that was created wth Life Cycle Designer. I copied it from a delivered SAP form. I am using the QISR1 Badi to process the form. I have three other forms that are working correctly.
If anyone can provide some direction into resolving this, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike

Hello All,
I was able to resolve this issue by setting a UI Attributes variable.

ADOBE FORM for SAP - where is the documentation

Hello Everybody,
I started to work with adobe form for two weeks now.
And i am wondering something since two days where is the documentation ?
On adobe forums, we find a quick FAQ.
On SCN there is some documentation.
But where is the official or/and most complete documentation ?
Is the full documentation given when you buy the adobe product or is there a full on line documentation ?
Best Regards

Migration of JSP forms into adobe forms for PCRs

Hi All,
I am working on Upgrade project for ESS/MSS. Our client had JSP based PCRs which we need to migrate into adobe based PCRs.
i have few questions regarding this migration.
Has someone the experience to migrate a JSP based PCR into Adobe based PCR?
How much effort the migration will take, and can we fully reuse ISR configuration and workflow?
Thanks,
Ankur

If you are using the SAP delivered JSP forms - there maybe equivalent SAP delivered Adobe based PCRs in the next ESS/MSS releases that you can use instead of migrating the forms
I am not aware of any tools or documentation that help to migrate custom JSPs to custom Adobe forms
As I see it you would have to create new Adobe based versions of your JSP PCRs - I am vaguely aware of a guide entitled
"Developing Your Own Personnel Change Requests" for ERP2004 - however I am not sure how you would obtain a copy
or whether this approach is recommended, supported or complete - this documentation would detail how to create an ISR based Adobe form
At the same time there may be restrictions as to what standard JSP forms are available as standard Adobe forms and what can be configured in the ISR scenarios (for example use of Value Help in WD JAVA Adobe scenarios)
- SAP have been recommending instead of creating say a ISR based Adobe form for WD JAVA to
use HCM processes and forms (also available in the MSS role) going forward
- HCM processes and forms is WD ABAP based framework using Adobe which allows users to create custom Adobe forms which update back-end infotypes directly from the Portal - also such scenarios as Value Help etc may be possible (or more easily achieved)

Removal of Buttons from Adobe form for PCR Approval

Hi,
I am using adobe forms for PCR approval using the Business object method EXTSRV-PROCESS. The binding parameters are as follows,
MODE = &Displaymode&
REQUEST_NO = &Notification.Number&
DESCRIPTION = &Notification.Description&
IFV = A
The display mode passed as parameter is 'Change'.
The problem is i am able to see all the 5 buttons (Approve/Reject/Return to Author/Compete/Exit) but I want only the Approve/Reject/Exit buttons to be seen. I found the following thread with more or less similiar requriement but unable to find a solution from it. Any suggestions on this?
Buttons for ISR_APPROVE & ISR_PROCESS appearing in Workflow
Thanks,
Prasath N

Hi Prasath,
Long time before even we too had a similar requirement...But we were not able to solve the problem. Luckily, USER is convinced with going ahead with those 5 buttons.
Will surely keep you updated in case if I get to know any solution.

Interactive Adobe form for performance appraisal

Hi Experts,
Is it possible to create Interactive Adobe Form for Performance appraisal? I understand that the appraisal template varies company to company.Does it affect the Form? Can we update the infotype 0025 ( Appraisals where appraisee /Appraisals where appraiser tab) ? Please advice on this.

Hi,
We had the same question sometime back. This is what we found
1. Users will not finish Performance Apprisal document in one session, they will complete partially and then comback another day to complete it.
2. IT25 is not like normal infotype, it might be challenging to update it with BAPI/RFCs.
These two issues stopped us from doing Adobe interactive forms (PCR like) for Performance apprisal.

SAP_PA backend service EXPECTS either a hardcoded/configured subtype OR a "*" for all available subtypes (which won't work in your case). What you "could" do is get creative with "rules" and check if values are entered, and then if so, do the operation for your subtype.
What you will need to do, which is what I do a LOT because of issues with SAP_PA is to actually make you update/changes in a backend function module (triggered in workflow). Now, things get a bit more complicated.....
Priod to EhP3, you could just call the ol' infotype operations function module in your own FM to do the change. However, from EhP3 and onward, you will need to do this via classes (same used by decoupled infotype framework.
Soooooo......time to get creative with your solution.

Adobe forms for report creation.

Hello. I would like to use an web form in which the user submits research information, which the user can then download (or be emailed) the data in an organized report. In a sense, I would like to use Adobe Forms to make these reports consistent. How can I use Adobe forms for this? Is this possible?

Hi Viji,
I believe there must be a misunderstanding here. While Adobe delivers sample forms both in Adobe LiveCycle Designer (only the form) and for their own server products (the LiveCycle series), this has nothing to do with Interactive Forms in SAP software. Adobe contributes 2 key technology components to the joint solution, but the business logic continues to be shipped by SAP only. This means that Adobe neither ships standard forms for an SAP system nor BAPIs.
In mySAP ERP 2004, a couple of pilot processes built with Guided Procedures were shipped to selected customers. These processes dealt with the creation and changing of master data. These processes are not generally available.
Interactive Forms is included in several environments, i.e. Web Dynpro for Java, Web Dynpro for ABAP, ABAP Workbench (for printing), Guided Procedures, Internet Service Request (ERP), and Business Intelligence. In NetWeaver '04, you can only use Web Dynpro for Java and ABAP Workbench.
There is NO OUT-OF-THE-BOX SUPPORT for BSPs.
If you wish to use KM functions, it'll be up to you to develop them for your process. You will need to persist the generated PDF form (it doesn't happen by default), and there is no standard delivery that includes KM functions.
Hope this helps,
Markus Meisl

Searh help in ABAP webdynpro with Adobe form is flickering/blinking

All,
I have an WDA that has an interactive Adobe form for input. I'm calling the SAP standard search helps when clicked for value helps from the Adobe interactive form that opens up the search helps pop-ups in the web-dynpro style. But strangely, the portion of the search help pop-up window that is just over the Adobe interactive form is always flickering/blinking whenever something is typed or moved on the search help pop-up window. This seems to be a standard bug/issue with SAP. Has anyone encountered the same issue and have found a solution to that?
Regards,
Sam

hi rock,
try this: sometimes any event might be calle din the backend which is overrirding your adobe form which is causing you the flickering. check it

Use Adobe forms for Dunning letters

Dear All,
We have a requirement to use dunning letters using Adobe Forms. I would like to know,
1. Is there a way we can attach adobe forms for dunning letters.
2. what could be the estimate do develop these letters using adobe forms.
3. Could I get some guidelines on the approach.
Thanks.

Hi Jonathan,
You're right, PDF is easier to use in comparison to SapScript.
If the SapScript is in use at this time, you should have no worries with PDF, where you can even import the official format.

Adobe Form for F110 Check Payments

Currently, F110 uses an SAPScript form defined in t-code OBVU for its check payments. Is it possible to use an Adobe form instead? If so, is there a template or example anywhere? I am using t-code SFP.
Thank you for your help.
Brenda

Is it possible to use an Adobe form instead?
Of course. You will find a predelivered (next step) or create one yourself.
There is also the option to migrate the smartform but I would never do that even if I got paid for that (the result is very messy), check the details here:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/16/a369b1800e4bdda978ee0fe3b7bd2c/content.htm
If so, is there a template or example anywhere?
List of SAP standard Adobe forms: Go to http://service.sap.com/erp (SAP ERP) -> Media Library - SAP ERP Overview -> Detailed information cross ERP -> Adobe Forms for SAP ERP
Standard programs:
or example anywhere?
Adapt yourself a tutorial:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/c2567f2b-0b01-0010-b7b5-977cbf80665d
or learn how to enhance the standard (you will only create a brand new adobe instead of smartform if you didn´t find one):

What's the business case for using adobe forms for handling print forms

Hi
We are just starting our SAP project and are looking at the possibility to use Adobe forms for generating and printing our forms, like purchase orders, invoices etc.
My Question is:
1. Is this possible / adviseable ?
2. if so - what's the business case in using Adobe forms - We have been looking on the SAP Pricing for adobe interactive form, and in our point of view it's grotesque high
3. What other options do we have - do we need to settle with SAP Script / Smartforms ?
Regards
Morten Nielsen

Hi Morten,
1. Is this possible / adviseable ?
As far I know SAP is going to stop support for SAPScript in coming years (I don't know exact dates). It is pretty much advisable to use Adobe Print Forms.
2. if so - what's the business case in using Adobe forms - We have been looking on the
SAP Pricing for adobe interactive form, and in our point of view it's grotesque high
We can use Adobe Print Forms where ever we can able to use SApscripts/PDF print Forms.
3. What other options do we have - do we need to settle with SAP Script / Smartforms ?
It is better to settle with Adobe forms rather than using SAPscript/Smart forms. One of the main reason for this is maintainance is much easier than SAPscript/Smart forms.
But remember that Java Stack need to be installed in order to use Adobe Forms.
Please visit the below SDN area on Adobe forms for more details.
