Pre-filling Office documents with SAP data?

have a requirement to have Word/Excel type file templates that we can open and have pre-filled with data attributes from SAP objects.
I know that we can do this relatively easily from within the SAP GUI in transactions such as SCASE etc... but our solution needs to have this type of functionality invoked from WebDynPro screens that are delivered through the Portal.
We have looked at Adobe Document Services which will give us the fucntionality as described, but because of licencing constraints we are unable to use ADS at this stage.
Does anyone have any knowledge or ideas on how we may achieve pre-filling of Word templates etc. from WebDynPro screens?

Paul,
Did you figure out how to do this? We have a very similar requirement now. Appreciate any suggestions you may have.
Thanks

XML generation with SAP data using XML schema - Reg

Hello experts,
My requirement is , SAP( ztable data ) data has to be transferred to third party software folder.Third party using XML so they requires output from SAP in XML format.
For that third party software guys told me that they will give their own XML schema to me.I have to generate XML file with SAP data using their XML schema.
Generating XML file with their Schema should be underlined.
I studied that call transformation statement helps for this.
Even then i don't have clear idea about this topic.
Please brief me about how to use their XML schema to generate XML with my own sap data.
Thanks in advance experts.

Printing/Converting Office documents from SAP

Hi all,
When I try to print office documents by using CV120_START_APPLICATION. I don't receive feedback from the application (ie: Word, Excel etc) to SAP about error/success of printing.
is there another way to print office documents from SAP and reveice feedback?
Another question:
Is there a way to convert office documents (doc, xls, ppt)to pdf files without using external program?

Hi All,
I am also facing the same problem,
When I try to print office documents by using CV120_START_APPLICATION. I don't receive feedback from the application (ie: Word, Excel etc) to SAP about error/success of printing.
Is there another way to print office documents from SAP or should I use some other FM like CV120_GET_APPL_FROM_REGISTRY?
Advance thanks.

How to fill selection box with clientside data?

i want to make a html form that reads option values from the client.
Because there are too many data, it's not reasonable for me to design a page which connects to server each time to fill the selection boxes.Instead i want to check if data resides at the clientside, if so fill selection boxes with that data, if not download it for the first time and store it on the client for later local retrieval.In addition i must be able to update that data residing on the client when i want.

Hi,
I can tell you some hints. Use cookies to store the information on to the client-side. You can read data from cookies using JavaScript. If you want to store huge amount of data on to the client-side, perhaps this would not be a better idea. In J2EE architecture we often use sessions to store values. You need to design your implementation in such a way that for the first time you fetch all the values from the database and put it in a session, and the next time onwards you can get the values from the session itself and thereby you can avoid going to database each and everytime. Write a Java class which has all the necessary get and set methods and store the object in the session. Using that object reference you can set and get the values from it. I hope this will help you.
Thanks

Oracle BI Apps with SAP data sources

What is the delivered content provided by Oracle BI Apps to map with SAP data sources?
Thank you!

As things stand right now SAP R3 is only supported on a much older release of BI Apps (7.8.4). That release used the Informatica SAP PowerConnect technology to populate the Warehouse.
I posted before on this forum the list of supported SAP Modules.
BI Apps cannot use SAP BW. BW can be a direct data source for BI EE however.
In the near future our support for SAP will be up to date and back on track. There are internal efforts underway that I cannot discuss here in the forum.

How to fill internal table with no data in debugging mode

Hi all,
I modified one existing program.Now I want to test it.I am not given test data.So in the middle of my debugging, I found that one internal table with no data.My problem is how to fill that internal table with few records in that debugging mode just as we change contents in debugging mode.If I want to proceed further means that internal table must have some records.
Please I dont know how to create test data so I am trying to create values temporarily in debugging mode only.
Thanks,
Balaji

Hi,
In the debugging do the following..
Click the Table button..
Double click on the internal table name..
Then in the bottom of the screen you will get the buttons like CHANGE, INSERT, APPEND, DELETE..
Use the APPEND button to insert records to the internal table..
Thanks,

Help to fill BPS Cube with same data in a Cube with these conditions

Hi,
I need some help in implementing BPS in a small project. (Integrated Planning is not available).
An existing cube, Cube1 has: Year/month, Year, char1, char2, keyfig1, keyfig2
Keyfig1 is filled directly from R3 with actuals; keyfig2 (planned values) is filled manually filled with a monthly flat file load.
Now, there is a change in direction to fill keyfig2 through BPS features and bring in additional key figures all based on keyfig1.
Cube2 has been created only for the purpose of this BPS project. Cube2 was a copy of Cube1(with no data). For Cube1, I have created a Planningarea1 and PlanningLevel1; and for Cube2, Planningarea2 and PlanningLevel2 in BPS0.
How do I fill the BPS Cube2 with the same data as in BPS Cube1 with the following conditions:
keyfig1 : same as source value from R3 (not modifiable)
keyfig2 : modifiable by users only on the first and second of the month.
keyfig3 : keyfig1 * 1.1
keyfig4 : keyfig1 of previous Year/month
keyfig5 : same as source value from R3 (But modifiable)
keyfig6 : same as keyfig5 as of last day of 20th of the current month (not modifiable)
The goal is to create a multi planning area to join the two cubes. Hints all that will also be appreciated.
Thanks

Your thought of having a multi area is right.
Create a multi area and being the basic areas to which you have assigned cube 1 and cube 2 underneath the multi area.
UNder your planing package, create a function of type Formula and create a parameter set like this:
= * 1.1.
Just this one line will is enough.
TO get keyfig 4 as previous month's key fig; you need another fox. To do this, you need to have a BPS variable to et previous month and use this variable in the parameter set.
Your fox will be like this.
DATA CURRMONTN TYPE 0CALMONTH.
DATA PREMONTH TYPE 0CALMONTH.
{KEYFIG4, CURRMONTH} = {KEYFIG1, PREMONTH}.
To make users modify only on days 1 and 2, you need to define a dara slice.

Filling in pdf with FDF Data gives me square blocks

Hi,
I am trying to fill in a form with fdf data using pdftk but whenever I do, it gives me square characters instead of the actual text. Does anyone know why it does this?
I am using Arial font

Hi George, thanks for your help
Here is the FDF:
%FDF-1.2
1 0 obj<</FDF<< /Fields[
<</T(FIELD1)/V(BLAH)>>
] >> >>
endobj
trailer
<</Root 1 0 R>>
%%EOF
I don't even have Helvetica on my computer
EDIT: To be honest, I think it may have something to do with my PDF file, because I am trying to populate the fields using pdftk-php and it is doing the same thing.

How to make link between xcelsius components with sap data using Web servic

Hi all,
I have a doubt regarding connection between Xcelsius components and SAP data.
I created one Web service using Function module and made a connection between xcelsius and that web service using binding URL. It shows imput and output parameters perfectly.
But I cant get any idea as to how to connect Xcelsius components with these parameters.
Can anybody help me out..
please its urgent.
Thanks,
Simadri

Have you bound your output parameters to ranges of cells? Select the item, then click the icon to the right of the Insert In: box and select the cells.
Add a spreadsheet component to your chart and bind it to the cells, then preview the model. Do you see the data coming through?
If you do, then you can click File > Snapshot > Export Excel Data. Then close Preview mode, and import data from spreadsheet and select the sheet you just exported. This gives you real data to work with when designing the dashboard.
Hope that helps.
