Print Workbench - Step by step guide to create an APPLICATION FORM

Hi All,
I have been working as an ABAP developer. Now I have been asked to work on PWB.
I have gone through lots of documents available on the net. I also read the SAP help library and entire SDN.
But I need some good document on PWB which shows step by step procedure for creating an application form, maintaining it and then generating the print etc (preferably with screenshots).Kindly provide some good documents. Any help is welcome.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Yogi,
In your sceanario if you are looking to build either Enity or Application service then create it and test that service from "Service Browser". Once your service is working as per your reqyurements then we have to options to bring it into the Portal:
1. Generate Web Service for you Service (Entity or Application).
2. Consume that Web Service in WebDynpro application using Model concepts.
3. Deploy your WebDynpro Application into your portal Server.
4. Create a WebDynpro iView for your application and assign it any where you want.
OR
1. Generate WebDynpro model for your CAF application.
2. Create a public part for you application webdynpro project of your CAF application.
3. Create a new WebDynpro DC and use the Models generated for your CAF application.
4. Deploy your WebDynpro Application into your portal Server.
5. Create a WebDynpro iView for your application and assign it any where you want.
If you can give your complete scenario then that would be more helpful for any one to provide best answer which is approapriate for you.
Thanks,
Uday.

Dim fileName As String = "Reports\" & ReportID & ".rpt"
Dim reportPath As String = Server.MapPath(fileName)
myRepDoc = New ReportDocument()
myRepDoc.Load(reportPath)
myCrystalReportViewer.ReportSource = myRepDoc

Sir AG,
Thanks a lot for replying and spending your valuable time for my problem.
Sir, I just want to put this in your knowledge that my application is web based application and I am calling these reports through web forms i.e. of ASP.NET coded in vb from .aspx.vb files.
So as per the code I have attached, I have this
Option Explicit On
Imports CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine
Imports CrystalDecisions.Shared
Next for ReportDocument Object:
Dim fileName As String = "Reports\" & ReportID & ".rpt"
        Dim reportPath As String = Server.MapPath(fileName)
        myRepDoc = New ReportDocument()
        myRepDoc.Load(reportPath)
        myCrystalReportViewer.ReportSource = myRepDoc
Above is the code used by me in Page_Init and I have already tested it from Page_Load. I have got few suggestions from this forum that I should put this code in Page_Init only.
Lastly:
The database connectivity code:
Dim myConnectionInfo As ConnectionInfo = New ConnectionInfo()
        If Session("reportConnectionInfo") IsNot Nothing Then
            Dim ConnInforArrList As ArrayList = DirectCast(Session("reportConnectionInfo"), ArrayList)
            myConnectionInfo.ServerName = ConnInforArrList(0)
            myConnectionInfo.DatabaseName = ConnInforArrList(1)
            myConnectionInfo.UserID = ConnInforArrList(2)
            myConnectionInfo.Password = ConnInforArrList(3)
        Else
            lblMessage.ForeColor = Drawing.Color.Red
            lblMessage.Text = "Session is off. Please Relogin to See the Report."
        End If
        SetDBLogonForReport(myConnectionInfo, myRepDoc)
        SetDBLogonForSubreports(myConnectionInfo, myRepDoc)
SetDBLogonForReport(myConnectionInfo, myRepDoc)
Private Sub SetDBLogonForReport(ByVal myConnectionInfo As ConnectionInfo, ByVal myReportDocument As ReportDocument)
        Dim myTables As Tables = myReportDocument.Database.Tables
        For Each myTable As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table In myTables
            Dim myTableLogonInfo As TableLogOnInfo = myTable.LogOnInfo
            myTableLogonInfo.ConnectionInfo = myConnectionInfo
            myTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(myTableLogonInfo)
        Next
    End Sub
This code I have got from a sample of the forum itself.
Sir, after all these effort and the unchecking of option "Save Data with Report" on calling the reports from my forms it is showing blank report. No data from the database is coming form the database.
I have uncheked the option "Save Data with Reports" to get the updated data each time the report has been called but now the status is that nothing is coming.
Thanks again for you precious and valuable effort to help me but the my problem is unsolved, So sir please if you could put an eye on it and help me out to get rid of this problem, I will be very thankful to you for your kind help.
Thanks and regards

Can I create an HCM Form without involving any workflow steps?

Hi Experts,
Can I create an HCM Form without the involvement of any Workflow steps ? I tried to create a simple form to save the User id( IT0105) of a person. I tried to simulate the process through program RPASR_TEST_PROCESS_EXECUTION. But, finally it failed saying "No workflow assingned. Process not successfully completed" . How should I proceed if I dont want any workflow steps to be included?
I just want the form to update the infotypes directly when I save.
Pls advice,
Thanks in advance!
Mahesh

Yes. This is undocumented for some reason (I learned it from SAP folks! haha). Set the workflow to:
NO_WORKFLOW
You're welcome. haha

Guide for creating native mobile applications in windows mobile?

could someone suggest me or provide a guide to create native applications sup windows mobile?

Hi Carlos,
If you are referring to SMP 3, Odata SDK is not supported for Windows (windows support is planned for future). Still you can develop Windows apps using REST APIs. Ex. SyBooks Online.
REST API is available from SUP version 2.2. If you follow REST API approach for development of windows apps in older SMP versions it will be easy to migrate to SMP 3. More info:SUP/SMP 2.x vs. SMP 3.0 - Migration effort

Download the Step By Step Guide to Create a Tree in Forms

hi,
I have developed a sample form for Tree Item. Anybody who doesn't know how to create a Tree Item in form can visit the page and download the step by step guide from there. There is a sample form, sample table data, one document describing the whole process and pictures which is a step by step guide.
Please Note: The document there is from Oracle. I didn't change anything in it. I just developed the form by going through the step from the document.
Please visit this site
http://www.saadatahmad.freeservers.com/tree.htm
Thank you

Thanks for your comment. I think it's always good to share the stuff this way instead of informing the people like "hey, I have this stuff. mail me if anybody wants", which I think is not the good way as you mentioned.

Step by step guide to create a RFC connection and data transfer

hi
could i get a step by step guide to transfer/read data from SAP and legacy system using the concept of RFC.
Regards
Shiva

hi
Here are the steps.
SM59 Transaction is used for Connection Establishment with Destination.
When you establish a connection to a client through a destination, the HTTP connection must first be entered in transaction SM59.
There are two types of HTTP connection in transaction SM59: Call transaction SM59 to display the different RFC destinations.
The HTTP connection to the external server (connection type G) and the HTTP connection to the R/3 system (connection type H) are different only in their logon procedures. Their technical settings are the same. To display the technical settings, double-click a connection.
You can choose from three tabs. Under Technical Settings, you can specify the following:
· Target Host: The host to which you want to connect.
Note that if you are using HTTPS as a protocol, you have to specify the full host name (with domain).
· Service No.: Here, you specify the port. The destination host must of course be configured in such a way that the specified port understands the corresponding protocol (HTTP or HTTPS). See Parameterizing the ICM and the ICM Server Cache.
· Path Prefix: At the time when the connection to this destination is initiated, the system inserts this sub-path before ~request_uri.
· HTTP Proxy Options: Here, you can configure a proxy for HTTP connections: You can determine the proxy host and service, as well as users and passwords for the HTTP connection.
The tab page Logon/Security will be different depending on whether you have selected a HTTP connection to an external server (connection type G) or a HTTP connection to an R/3 system (connection type H).
HTTP Connection to an External Server (Connection Type G)
Choose the connection you want to use. You can choose from the following logon procedures:
· No Logon: The server program does not request a user or password.
· Basic Authentication: The server program requests a user and password. Basic Authentication is a standard HTTP method for authenticating users. When a user logs on to the target system, he or she provides a user ID and password as authentication. This information is then sent in a header variable as a Base 64-encoded string to the server, through the HTTP connection.
· SSL Client Certificate: If you use client certificates for authentication, the client authentication is performed through the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol. In this case, you must also select the SSL Client PSE of the SAP Web AS that contains the relevant certificate for the authentication. The target system must handle the issuer of the SAP Web AS client certificate as a trusted system.
Under Logon/Security, you can also activate SSL to ensure that HTTPS is the protocol used (if you select SSL, make sure that the correct port is entered under Technical Settings). In the security transaction STRUST you can determine which type of SSL client is used. (Getting Started with the Trust Manager, Trust Manager).
The field Authorization for Destination has been implemented as an additional level of protection. We recommend that you specify a user and password for the RFC destination.
HTTP Connection to an R/3 System (Connection Type H)
Here, you can specify more settings for authentication in the target system.
The settings under Technical Settings and Special Options are the same as for connection type G. Under Logon/Security, the connection type H has additional logon procedures. As with external servers, you can activate and deactivate SSL and specify an authorization.
Because the target system is an SAP system, you can set the client and language for the logon as well as the user name and password. If you check Current User, you have to specify the password.
The following authentication procedures are available: Basic Authentication, SAP Standard, and SAP Trusted System, and SSL Client Certificate.
· HTTP Basic Authentication: Logon with user and password
· SAP Standard: This procedure uses an RFC logon procedure. The RFC Single Sign-On (SSO) procedure is valid within the one system. The same SAP user (client, language, and user name) is used for logon.
· SAP Trusted System: Trusted RFC logon to a different SAP system (see Trusted System: Maintaining Trust Relationships Between SAP Systems)).
· SSL Client Certificate: The SSL protocol enables you to use client certificates for the logon.
Type G/H (SM59)
Timeout:
When sending a HTTP request, you can use this parameter to specify the maximum response time for the connection.
HTTP Setting:
You can use the HTTP version to specify the protocol version of the HTTP request (HTTP 1.0 or 1.1).
Compression:
You can use this option to activate the gzip compression for the request body. This can only be activated in HTTP Version 1.1.
Compressed Response:
In the standard setting, the SAP Web Application Server sends the Accept Encoding field as a header field with the value gzip, if the application server can handle this compression. This notifies the partner that the caller can handle gzip decompression, and that the partner can send compressed data. If you want to prevent a compressed response being sent, choose the option No.
HTTP Cookie:
You can use this option to control the way received cookies are handled.
You can specify the following for cookies:
· Accept them automatically
· Reject them automatically
· Accept or reject them in a prompt
· Use a handler for the event IF_HTTP_CLIENT~EVENTKIND_HANDLE_COOKIE to process the cookies in the program.
· In the next section, you can read about the parallelization of requests.

Recently I have been shifted from R/3 to Apo ; Want to know the creation of planing book & the creation of Macro workbench playing behind planning book .
To create planning book.
To create Macro & how to relate a planning book with the macro.
Step by step process from simple to complex .
Different process to programe a macro .
I can understant ( rather I know ) how to relate a badi (Enhancement spot ) to a macro & but please guide me how to define a row of a planing book : such as how to define the row 'Avg Weekly Forcast' of planing book in a single varriable as 'ZAVGWKFST' to capture it at badi in the parameter I_T_LINES[]
(component - FELDH).
To create a custom Button in a planning book & how to program.
I have many broken links while I try to know it by myself.

Hi amitabha,
Please find below the detailed steps to define a planning book:
A planning book defines the content and the layout of the interactive planning screen. Planning books are used in Demand Planning and Supply Network Planning. They allow you to design the screen to suit individual planning tasks. A planning book is based on a planning area. You can create several user-specific data views in a planning book. In this step, you create a planning book for Demand Planning.
Procedure
1.     Access the activity using one of the following navigation options:
SAP SCM menu     Advanced Planning and Optimization  Demand Planning  Environment  Current settings  Define Planning Book
Transaction code     /SAPAPO/SDP8B
2.     Enter the planning book DP_001 and choose Create.
The Planning Book Wizard dialog box is displayed.
3.     Make the following entries:
Field name     User action and values
Planning Book     Enter the planning book DP_001
Planning book text     Demand Planning
Planning area     Select the planning area DP_001 and choose Enter
Manual Proportion Maintenance     X
Promotion     X
Univariate forecast     X
4.     Choose Continue.
5.     Assign the following key figures from planning area to the planning book by using drag and drop or choose Add all new Key Figures to add all key figures:
Description     Value     Comment
History     9AVHISTORY     Relevant for Scenario MTS
Forecast     9ADFCST     Relevant for Scenario MTS and VMI
Promotion 1     9APROM1     Relevant for Scenario MTS
Forecast (addition.)     9AAFCST     Relevant for Scenario MTS
Planned Price     9APRICEFC     Relevant for Scenario MTS
Sales Forecast     9AREVFC     Relevant for Scenario MTS
Production (Planned)     9APPROD     Relevant for Scenario MTS
Manual Correction     9AMANUP     Relevant for Scenario MTS
Additional Field 1     9AADDKF1     Relevant for Scenario VMI
Additional Field 2     9AADDKF2     Relevant for Scenario VMI
Additional Field 3     9AADDKF3     Relevant for Scenario MTS
Additional Field 4     9AADDKF4     Relevant for Scenario MTS
Additional Field 5     9AADDKF5     Relevant for Scenario MTS
The Proportional factor APODPDANT key figure is automatically added to your planning area when you create the planning area. You do not have to add this key figure yourself and assign it to the planning book in this step. When you create the respective view, this key figure will be automatically there for your selection.
6.     Choose Continue.
7.     Assign the following characteristics from the planning area to the planning book by using drag and drop:
Description     Value
APO Location     9ALOCNO
APO Product     9AMATNR
Brand     9ABRAND

Steps to create macros in macro wrokbench:
3.7     Creating Macros (SAP APO)
Use
You can use advanced macros to perform complex calculations quickly and easily. Macros are executed either directly by the user or automatically at a predefined point in time. When defining advanced macros, you work in a special desktop environment known as the MacroBuilder.
In total, four macros are created in the Demand Planning building block. They are all defined for the planning book DP_001. You create three macros for forecast calculation according to the following instruction. The chapter Creating the Macro for Consensus-Based Planning describes how to create the alert macro for consensus-based planning.
In the DP_STANDARD view of the planning book DP_001, you create two macros:
The first macro is used for the standard and consensus-based planning. The system calculates the arithmetic average of Statistical Forecast, Sales Forecast and Logistics Forecast, the result of average forecast data plus Promotion Data is inserted in the Final Forecast cell. It enables the user to consider the forecast input and the promotion plan from different departments within the company. The planner can make manual adjustments and enter the final agreed forecast into the Final Forecast cell. All of this information can be shown in the planning book screen.
The second macro multiplies the Final forecast data with the Planned price to calculate the sales volume. The third macro is an alert macro used for highlighting exceptional situations in consensus-based planning.
In the DP_SALES view of the planning book DP_001, you create the fourth macro. This macro multiplies the Final forecast data with the Planned price to calculate the sales volume, which is the same as the one in the standard view.
