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.

  • I have adobe xi pro, but i can´t edit a form create with adobe 8.0, the message is this form can´t be edit with adobe, use adobe livecycle designer. need I to buy another program?

    I have adobe xi pro, but i can´t edit a form created with adobe 8.0. The message is: this form can´t be edit with adobe, use adobe livecycle designer. need I to buy another program?

    If the form was created using LCD then it can only be edited there. This
    application used to be bundled with Acrobat Pro, but that's no longer the
    case. So if you want to edit this file then you need to purchase it, yes.

  • 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).

  • Offline approval with Adobe forms

    Hi All,
    We have a case in which we need to send a Adobe interactive form as an attachment to approver's email address(outlook) and perform offline approval.
    Could you pls help me guiding how to achieve this?
    System is mySAP ECC 6.0.
    (I have heard that offline approval is available in SRM, but do not know about ECC6.0)
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Akshay,
    SRM uses a program to simulate an offline approval.  It's not form based.
    Adobe forms are better.
    But at the end of the day any form is just a UI to enter and display data.  It's up to the programmer to decide what happens after the form is uploaded.
    There are tutorials on SDN in the Adobe section on how to upload the forms.  In the logic behind the upload you need to code in what happens next anyway - i.e. where the form data is to be stored in the system, whether a workflow event should be raised or whatever. 
    In ECC 6.0 you might want to try using the ISR/PCR technique with Adobe.  Where at least the WebDynpro application for viewing the forms are already created, and you put your logic for raising the workflow event in the QISR BADI. 
    You will probably still need to create a WebDynpro app to allow either mail upload or email receipt of Adobe forms.  Both of which are described in the SDN tutorials.
    By the way there is a Interactive forms with Adobe forum on SDN where you can put questions if you have any troubles with using the forms or developing a WebDynpro application around it.... but of course please work your way through tht tutorials first.
    Hope that helps.

    Are you talking about Provisioning ?
    then you do that in Data Flow under Process Defintion in OIM 10g

  • Issue with Adobe forms in HCM P&F

    Hi Friends,
      We are using HCM Processes and Forms with Workflow. When the Manager starts the processes from MSS by opening the Adobe form we are getting 3 scroll bars. For this we applied the note 1143512. Even After applying this note the Manager gets 3 scroll bars but when the HR Administrator starts any process he can see only 2 scroll bars. What could be the issue. Is there anywhere we need to pass the Initiator?
       Also after applying that note the size of the Adobe form became small. we tried changing the HRAS_PROCESS iView  Height Type to FULL_PAGE. Still its not working. Please advice if there is any note available for this.
    Rgds,

    This has been answered in this forum many times and I believe someone (Brian?) posted a blog about it. PLEASE SEARCH.
    As for what you are seeing....for MSS/ESS, the "form app" is actually running INSIDE another "window"....that's why it is smaller than when an HR Admin runs it.
    Also, for the Adobe size fix, make sure you user params are set correctly.
    Please search and find the blog about the 3 scrollbars....that will help you.

  • Regarding GP Process for Adobe Forms

    Hi,
        I had created a form through adobe life cycle designer and i want to use this form for GP process in portal.I had configured GP process for adobe and i followed time off process document but am unable to do the same process for a new form .

    Hello
    I would suggest trying to configure the parameters using the Config Tool. Here is a small procedure to help you with the navigation:
         1.Open the Config Tool.
         2.Navigate to cluster-data -> template <name of template> -> instance <name of instance> -> services -> caf/eu/gp/model.
    The template represents the usage type installed on your server (for example, EP). It consists of one or more instances that can be configured in a different way.
         3.Modify the required system parameters:
            a.      On the Service properties screen, select a parameter from the table.
            b.      In the Custom value field, enter a value for the parameter.
            c.      Choose Set.
    The new value appears in the Value column.
    In the Template value field, you can see the default value (if any) of the parameter you have selected. You can restore the default template value for any parameter by choosing Restore to Template.
    Hopefully, this way round it will work
    Best regards,

  • Performance issue with Adobe forms

    Dear SAP Experts,
    We have the following issue/requirement from our client. The client is on SAP ECC 6.0 - production environment.
    The client is highlighting  performance issue while accessing the adobe forms for HR and FI business process ( both static and interactive ).
                    Examples are
        FI – Invoice Approvals
                    HR – Job Salary Change
    The client is asking us to provide best practices surrounding:
    1.       How to improve the performance of the adobe forms while accessing in SAP.
    2.       Is there any other technology which we can use in SAP to replace the adobe forms which has better performance factor.
    3.       Are there solutions such as webdynpro floor plan manager, UI Fiori which can be alternately used?

    Hello Priya,
         Adobe forms are easy to develop and much more comfortable than SAP Scripts and Smartforms. Initially they are a bit difficult but once you have your hands on, they are the most simplest things in ABAP.
    Performance in Adobe forms is a mix of both fine tuning the Layout as well as back end coding.
    Performance in Adobe forms cannot be done overnight. A lot of care has to be taken during the initial stage of development.
    As far as my experience is concerned, please consider the below points while developing SAP Adobe forms.
    1) Avoid Scripting (Javascript/Formcalc) as much as possible inside the form. It drastically reduces the performance and makes the form to execute slower. If you still want to use scripting(which cannot be avoided for some requirements), use Formcalc since it is comparatively faster than JavaScript.
    2) Try to avoid the coding inside the Form Interface. You can always handle the maximum coding in the Driver program and pass it to the form.
    3) Use Form Caching.
    For forms that have fixed layout, its a good way to increase the performance of form rendering. In the layout, go to Form Properties. Then Click on Defaults tab and select Allow Form Rendering To Be Cached On Server. Then Click OK.
    For forms that have flowable or dynamic layout, render the forms on the client side because it improves performance.
    Last but not the least, please go through the below post by Otto Gold which is worth a read at least once.
