Reusability of Adobe form created in SFP in a WebDynpro Java application

Hi Experts,
Can some one advise me how I can use the pdf form created in ABAP side (Transaction SFP) in the WebDynpro Java application?
What is the procedure to include this pdf object in the WebDynpro application development?
Regards,
Shobhit

Hi,
You can add customised UI elements by a right click in your library pallette/ ot by dragging the ui elelments into the pallette. Like wise you can put your layout into the library pallette and reuse them. You may refer the Adobe life cycle designer (ALCD) help for it.
the second option i meant was after designing the layout in the SFP transaction, click on the PDF preview tab in the layout. Save the PDF.
NOw on developing the Java application, open the ALCD and use tools-> import to import the PDF you have saved.

Anto.

Creating Packages and Namespace for Webdynpro Java applications in NWDS

Hi Experts,
I am working on a stand alone application and using NWDS for the same. This application consist of some Webdynpro Java apps, Dictionary perspective DC's and BPM applications.
I need to create a package and name space for all the applications. I have read some documents on creating SC in SLD and using it in NWDI. But since I am working on NWDS i am not able to see the SC.
May be I am not following a correct procedure. Can some one provide a basic document or can tell me steps in short that i need to follow, for Name space and package creation and how to use them in NWDS.
I am working on CE7.1 ehp1.

Adobe form created in LiveCycle does not remember user input

Adobe form created in LiveCycle does not remember user input when the file has been re-opened after it has been saved.
Example:
"Check box" that has been selected and who have registered Action script (may be that it should be disabled), seems to be reset when the file is re-opened, although it apparently is checked.
Are there settings or script that can prevent this?

Hi there,
usually if the values are not kept in form after saving and re-opening the form, it would be because of your code... or because it is not Reader Extended PDF...
If your code has a function which is to return a value to your field without it to be working based on your Design, it will reset any data..(variables)
Which means...
e.g.: You have an array/var/JSONobject which you populate varying on the data entered in the design, as long as you are in the actual form, without closing and re-opening the form, it will keep all values inside that array / variables / JSONobject. But, once the form closed and re-opened, if you have a function that returns a value to your field, whatever the field, from any variable in the script it will return nothing because every variables are reset. To avoid such a thing, you must repopulate all variables that were assigned previously before closing the PDF Form. To do so, I recommend to have a page(hidden) which contains every important values according to that function and you must repopulate those variables according to the values in the keepVar page...
If you do not have any function that returns a value to a field based on your variables, this is not the solution you are looking for and I am not aware of the reason why it behaves like this... Maybe more information on the behaviour of your form would help locate the issue...
Hope this help

How to create a .exe file for a java application

Hi, I want to create a .exe file for a java application I am developing so that I can schedule it to run at a particular time using Windows Scheduler on WinNT. Is there any way to accomplish this? Or is there any other way in which a Java application can be scheduled to run at a particular time on Windows everyday?

Create a .bat file and run that. Just have, in the .bat file:
java YourClassName Alternatively, you can use javaw YourClassName (without *.bat, just put it into Windows Scheduler like suggested above).
using javaw won't pop up any window...

Importing Adobe form into SAP (sfp)

Hi Friends
I am trying to import an Adobe form designed in Live cycle designer outside SAP into SAP form builder (tcode SFP). The form imports fine in 'Layout' section of form builder but when I save it, it doesn't get saved. I mean if I save and try to open form later in SFP tcode the saved form disappears. The form also disappears when I activate the from in SAP builder (tcode SFP).
Am I doing anything wrong while importing pdf file or form designed outside SAP? Please help.
Regards
Sunny

Hello,
I am aware its is possible to use "import" in SFP menu. But I don´t know how. I would like to assure you, you can just copy the layout in your source form (it was just some layout created in standalone LCD) and copy it into the opened layout (LCD in SAP) in your SFP transaction. Then the editor think you have just finished drawing that and everything works the way you expect.

Adobe form data not being retrieved by Web Dynpro application

Hi,
I have created an online interactive Adobe form embedded in a Web Dynpro ABAP application. The Web Dynpro application calls a function module to update data in SAP. My problem is that the ABAP code that was generated to retrieve the data from the Adobe form and call the function module does not retrieve the data if it has been typed into any of the input fields. Oddly enough, it does work if the data is entered by using the value helps that have been placed on the form.
I would appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks!
Russell

Use messageboxes on various events to find out when your value dissapeears.
If you´re not sure about the binding, you can always drag/drop from data view tab onto the layout and check the binding which the system generates for you. Just to make sure.

Round trip clearing adobe form field values not binded to webdynpro context

Hi ,
I have developed a webdynpro ABAP application with Interactive form. I'm calling a webservice on 'exit event' of the one of the form fields. Once webservice is executed, Im filling a table with 300 rows which is in the form. The table fileds are binded to webservice fields from the dataview of the form , these are not webdynpro context attributes in the data view.
But when I open any seach help , this table values are disappearing. I need to execute the webservice again to get the values.
can any one tell why the values in the table are disappearing? since I have binded to the webservice fields the values should remain there.
Apprecaite your response.
Regards,
Ravi

I looked over that note yesterday, but too quickly - i thought it was an older note explaining which standard programs to run to test out the connection etc...
but i see now that there is an important point:
The "pdfSource" attribute of the InteractiveForm UI element should be linked only if the Web Dynpro ABAP application requires the PDF document for further processing (saving data to the database, and so on). However, it is mostly only the data entered in the interactive form that is relevant for the application. If this attribute is linked, the Web Dynpro ABAP framework must request an updated PDF document from the Adobe document services each time data is changed in the form.
It looks like this is saying that a round trip is possible in WDA.
EDIT - I wish SAP would fix this certificate issue. My first post every day is doubled because of it.

Saving a adobe form Output to presentation server from webdynpro

Hi all
I have a webdynpro aplication, where on clicking a button I want one adobe form output to be downloaded
in pdf format to local server.
currently while clicking the button its calling the webdynpro application where pdf is integrated and its displayed
on the browser.
Instead of the display I want to download to presentation server on clicking of the same button ,
The layout type of the PDF component is ZCI Layout and interface is XML schema based interface.

With an XML based interface it is going to be much easier to display the form and then download it. The user could choose the save from the Adobe Plug-In toolbar or you can get the XSTRING content of the PDF from the PDFSource Property of the InteractiveForm UI element. With the XSTRING you can then, start a download with this content. However PDFSource doesn't get populated until the InteractiveForm is visible on the screen.
If you want complete background rendering of the PDF, you would have to call the form interface and pass the data into it with the XML format. Function Module based form interfaces are really much better suited to background calls because of their nice, flat and ABAP structure based interfaces.

Hi Kumar,
If you are using EP7.0, there is no calendar UI element in webdynpro development. There is only date navigator UI element. This is demonstrated in the below article.

Is it possible to create triggers in sybase from jdbc (java application)?

We are in the need to create a triggers in the database (sybase) from JDBC (java application)?
Please send me pointers or articles related to this.
Thanks in advance,
Kri

A trigger is NEVER explicitly called, from any environment.
It is implicitly called when you invoke the operation that it's a trigger for.
Whether you're using Java or anything else to invoke that operation makes no difference whatsoever.
