SAP and Adobe (Flex)

Hello ,
I would like to know how to start working with SAP BW and Adobe ( Flex).
Is needed that Java Engine to be installed for the server? Is there a document how to link the 2 worlds (SAP , Adobe - Flex) ?
I would like to know what resources are needed (license, hardware, software, settings) for this connection to work.
The final purpose would be to try testing is a SAP BW query content could be transferred to some Adobe Flex form / layout / etc, in order for the report to look nicer, to be more user friendly , etc .
Any help / link/ advice would be appreciated !
Thank you in advance ,
A.

BSP and Adobe Flex

Hi,
My appology if this topic is not suppose to be here. Please let me know where this topic should be.
I know nothing about SAP and been given a task to look for the connection between BSP(suppose it is a module of SAP) and Adobe Flex.
I have done some research about the connection. Been to "Engaging User Interfaces with Adobe Flex". On that blog, there were few methods mentioned. I would like to know if there are any examples you can show me? I am particularly interested in Flex JSP and Flex AJAX.
Thanks in advance.

SAP WebDynpro + Adobe Flex/Flash = Enterprise UI 2.0

Hi Frens...
I am Working as Consultant-SAP.I am creating static Forms using Adobelive Cycle Designer and SAP.
How Adobe Flex is useful to create Forms?
Is it usefull for me if i learn Adobeflex?
How will be the future with ADOBE FLEX?
I have seen the article SAP WebDynpro + Adobe Flex/Flash = Enterprise UI 2.0.
Working as ABAPer shall i shift to Adobe Flex?
Please Suggest me.

Yes very.

Several of us are turning to Flex for eLearning and we are finding it to be
a great tool.
> How will be the future with ADOBE FLEX?
I think Adobe are commiting heavily to Flex - Flex plays on any machine with
the latest Flash player , so that includes PC, Mac and Linux. AIR plays on
PC and Mac today, with a Linux version under development right now. In the
future (Open Screen Project) versions of Flex and AIR should play on mobile
devices too.

I don't really know what would be good or bad for your needs. Take a look at
some of the sample Flex and AIR apps on Adobe.com and see if you think the
features demonstrated are applicable to your needs.

Crystal Reports and Adobe Flex Connectivity

Good evening fellow Crystal Reports and SAP experts.
Im developing a small application in Adobe Flex that after feeding some extra data, allows me to call a Crystal Reports Print Layout that feeds its information from SAP Business One. Does anyone know if its possible to call the print layout directly from my application in Adobe Flex like SAP does for printing?
If so, could anyone help me with the SDK and code needed?
I thank everyone in advance.

Hello,
Try the Business 1 forum. I've never seen anyone who tried using all 3 parts at one time.
Thank you

Crossdomain.xml issue - Accessing SAP from adobe FLEX

Hi All,
We are in the process of trying to integrate 4 SAP bapis exposed as Web services from adobe flex.
When we do so we are getting a "security error accessing URL"
The URL of our flex application is:
http://10.10.0.48:8081/water0305/iden.html
The WSDL of the web service is:
http://10.10.0.66:8001/sap/bc/srt/rfc/sap/ZKK_BAPI_EQMT_DETAIL?sap-client=800&wsdl=1.1
We looked at various forums and we found that adding a crossdomain.xml file to the root directory
(at the destination server) will resolve the issue.
I did implement all those steps on the R/3 side to add a crossdomain.xml to an ABAP WAS.
crossdomain.xml on WAS
however i still get those errors(security error accessing URL).
Below is the code i use to access the SAP web service
<mx:WebService
id="EqmtDetailWS" showBusyCursor="true" fault="Alert.show(event.fault.faultString)" >
<mx:operation name="EqmtDetail" resultFormat="e4x" result="getEquip_result(event);" fault="getFault(event);">
<mx:request>
<Equipment></Equipment>
</mx:request>
</mx:operation>
</mx:WebService>
We are displaying the SAP info on a map service provided by esri so we included the load operation here.
<-Loading the wsdl->
private
function onExtentChange(event:ExtentEvent):void {
EqmtDetailWS.wsdl=
"http://10.10.0.66:8001/sap/bc/srt/rfc/sap/ZKK_BAPI_EQMT_DETAIL?sap-client=800&wsdl=1.1&sap-user=******&sap-password=****&sap-language=EN&~transaction=iw51";
EqmtDetailWS.loadWSDL();
<Displaying the info from SAP>
private function getEquip_result(event:ResultEvent):void {
equip_desc = event.result.Equitext.Equidescr;
txtAreaEquipDetail.htmlText = txtAreaEquipDetail.htmlText + "Equi. Desc. : " + event.result.Equitext.Equidescr + "\n";
var material:String=event.result.Equimaster.Material;
SAPIDAliasEquipDesc =event.result.Equitext.Equidescr;
material=material.substring(14,18);
txtAreaEquipDetail.htmlText = txtAreaEquipDetail.htmlText + "Material : " + material + "\n";
txtAreaEquipDetail.htmlText = txtAreaEquipDetail.htmlText + "Serial No : " + event.result.Equimaster.Serialno + "\n";
var costcntr:String=event.result.Equilocation.Costcenter;
costcntr=costcntr.substring(7,10);
txtAreaEquipDetail.htmlText = txtAreaEquipDetail.htmlText + "Cost Center : " + costcntr + "\n";
CustomerID = event.result.Equisales.Customer;
This is how we load the policy file.
Security.loadPolicyFile(
http://10.10.0.66:8001/sap/bc/bsp/sap/zroot/crossdomain.xml);
This works fine when we run it from the IDE but throws up an error when we deploy it on the server
So are we missing something ?
Is there anything else to be done to overcome the security issue ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Karthik.

Hi Rich,
I followed the steps in your video when our system was R/3 4.7 (WAS 6.20) and the test worked fine, i.e. accessing the crossdomain by typing http://server:port/crossdomain.xml.
I followed the same steps with our new version (we're undergoing an upgrade) but I kept getting the error message:
"BSP Exception: the BSP URL /crossdomain.xml Does Not Contain Any Application Entries". Then I saw Ivan post suggesting implementing OSS Note 1260386. I applied the Note but I got the same error message.
Then I ran function ICFBUFFER_INIT to make sure the buffer is cleared, cleared the cache in the browser and still got the same error message.
Our system is ERP 6.0, NetWeaver 7.0, level 17 (BASIS Component is SAPKB70017).
Please help. Thank you.

SAP and Adobe Form - Scripting Issues

Hello experts,
before i start with the the issue, I would like to describe some functions which we have developed in our adobe form (not interactive Form!).
We are displaying XHTML Text coming from SAP , in order to load the XTHML into the controls we are calling the following line of code during the initialize event:
this.value.exData.loadXML(this.rawValue);
We are printing a table which contains 3 position types (SAP DATA)
Product items
Groups
Texts/Pictures (XHTML/Binary Data)
        On each new page a header line shall be printed if the type is product item. This codding is placed inside the layout:ready event:
data.BODY.HIERARCHY.GS_HIER.DATA.ALTERNATIVE_NODE_TYPE.NODETYPE::ready:layout - (JavaScript, both)
var vPage = xfa.layout.page(this);
Script.setHeaderline(vPage, this.rawValue, this.parent.FLAG_HEADER_LINE.rawValue);
data.BODY.HIERARCHY.GS_HIER.HEADER::ready:layout - (JavaScript, both)
var vPage = xfa.layout.page(this);
Script.getHeaderline(vPage);
if (Script.gHeader == "X") {
this.presence = "visible";
else {
this.presence = "hidden";
SCRIPT SECTION: -->
var gHeader = "Y";
var level_hier = 5;
var new_page;
var gPage = 1;
arrHeader = new Array();
function setPage(in_page) {
gPage = in_page;
function getPage(out_page) {
out_page = gPage;
return out_page;
function setHeaderline(in_page, in_nodetype, in_flag_header_line) {
if (in_page != gPage) {
       if (in_nodetype == "1" && in_flag_header_line != "X") {
            arrHeader[in_page] = "X";
else {
       arrHeader[in_page] = "N";
gPage = in_page;
function getHeaderline(in_page) {
gHeader = arrHeader[in_page];
The first functionality was working always pretty good. For making the second functionality available we started calling the Adobe Forms using the Parameter DYNAMIC = 'X'. Unfortunaltey the first functionality is then not working anymore correctly. We have tried to change javascript processing to server side/client side and both, but in the mode DYNAMIC = 'X' it does not have any influence, all javascript is performed at the client and at runtime. The result is that some pdf reader can not see the XTHML texts and we are expierencing some other problems with pictures.
We need to have both functionalities working at the same time for all readers. I guess this is only possible if the javascript is processed at the server side and the ADS returns a finished/static PDF document.
Does anyone has an idea how to solve this issue ?
Thanks a lot,
Wladimir

Thanks for the info Juergen. I am still awaiting your blog on secured web services , if you get time please post it.
@Anil: Please close the thread if the issue is resolved.

The form is well submitted to sap when we use Adobe Reader 8.1.2 but form Adobe Reader 9.x.x , it seems that this function is not used anymore.
Did someone of you already faced this problem?

Difference between Smart Forms and Adobe Form

Hi all,
What are disadvantages of Smart form in SAP ,
What is difference between Smart Forms and Adobe interactive Form.
I heard from someone that in future Adobe interactive Form will repalce smart forms. Is it true or not
Best Regards
Srikanth

Hi,
Companies depend on formal documents that reflect their corporate identities and contain critical business information from live systems. SAP and Adobe partnered for automating and streamlining forms-based communication to support customers who create reusable forms for their business processes.
SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe will be used more and more as a way of simplifying and automating manual processes.
There are various advantages of Adobe forms.
SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe provides all the features and functions you need to create form-based output, such as order confirmations, invoices, or pay slips. You can either print such documents or send them by email or FAX.
Online Interactive Forms
A user logs on to the company intranet to fill in a form required by the HR department (for example, a Non-Disclosure Agreement to be signed by a new employee). The form is displayed in the browser.
As the user is logged on in the background to the company's HR system, his master data is displayed in the form. The user enters the required information in the fillable fields of the interactive form, and sends the data back to the system by pushing a button. The system extracts the data from the form and saves it in the database.
Offline Interactive Forms
The purchasing department of a company creates a bid in its Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system and selects the potential vendors. Based upon this data, the system automatically creates interactive bidding forms with specific vendor information, such as the address or contact person.
The forms are transmitted to the vendors by email. The vendors can fill out the forms offline (without being connected to the system that created the forms) and transmit them back to the company. The company then processes the forms automatically, and the data provided by the vendors is written to the ERP system. The purchasing department uses the data to evaluate the quotation and then issues an order.
With the integration of Adobe PDF technology into its solutions, SAP will be able to further extend its offerings of end-to-end business solutions by:
Providing for the first time the capabilities of Adobe's interactive PDF-based forms.
Integrating PDF documents into business processes that are driven by SAP applications.
Automating the process of moving XML data from SAP applications into interactive forms and vice versa.
Reducing time to design, manage, and maintain extended forms-based processes through easy-to-use forms design and deployment tools.
Offering its customers enhanced printing capabilities, in particular for interactive Web applications.
The focus of new forms technology from SAP is interactive PDF-based forms that can be created in SAP systems as a result of the integration of Adobe technology with Web Dynpro and the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio. This integration means that adobe is the future technology.
Regards,
Kate

Web Dynpro and Abobe Flex

Hi Folks,
I've seen a couple of responses to questions about the mixing of Web Dynpro and Adobe Flex technologies...
This thread mentions a "Flex Client" which is reportedly able to render existing Web Dynpro apps in Flex: WebDynPro ABAP in adobe flex client
This thread mentions a technology called "Web Dynpro Islands" which is apparently Flex components within Web Dynpro apps: Flex with WebDynPro
These concepts seem very different to me - the first being a run-time solution to Flex rendering and the second, design-time. In my opinion, the Flex Client sounds like a more flexible (excuse the pun) solution as it allows the designer to concentrate on application functionality and leaves the visual styling to the GUI. Following on from this thought, the Flex Client gives an added benefit in that, if the person executing the app wants to view it in the current WD style as opposed to Flex, they have this option by choosing a different rendering tool/user interface... and the underlying WD app remains untouched!
Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
On a potentially negative side of the Flex Client technology, is the this client yet another GUI tool that needs to be rolled-out and maintained on users' PCs or will it simply be a plugin that can be downloaded on-the-fly and used in a web browser (in a similar way to an ActiveX control)?
I hope this stimulates some interesting discussions...
Cheers
Glen

Thanks Thomas! I was hoping you'd be around to shed some light on this...
You're explanation of the use of Web Dynpro Islands was very useful - I was assuming that any UI elements created for Flex designer could also be created as a Web Dynpro component for the Web Dynpro designer (ABAP or Java) but you make a good point that they have different capabilities.
I think, my biggest concern was that the visual style of the WD Island/Flex component would be so different to the the rest of the WD app that it would stick out like a sore thumb but if you use the Flex Client to render it, as you suggested, then every UI element in the app should look and behave consistently... another assumption...
This makes me wonder whether we'll need to use the Flex Client for all our portal apps to keep the look-and-feel consistent throughout the portal. There's nothing worse to a user than having one UI element behave a certain way in one app and a totally different way in another - eg. compare the scrolling functionality of the WD table element to the Flex table element.
I'll look forward to hearing more about the Flex Client in the near future.
Cheer
Glen

SAP and xcelsius

Can we connect to SAP from Xcelsius using Web services or any other method without having the SAP universe?
Also we do not have any other BO XI infrastructure also. So any methods to connect other than these, most welcome.
Edited by: Mandar Kunte on Apr 2, 2009 1:01 PM

Hi Mandar,
ITs possible to connect SAP to Xcelcius. Check the link below,
[Crossdomain.xml issue - Accessing SAP from adobe FLEX;
Also, Its possible to connect SAP BI Queries to Xcelcius. I have a document, if you are interested send me ur email id. I can send that too.
