Smart Forms are Client Independent..

Hi ,
I Have one doubt.. about the Smart Forms are Client Independent.
Client Independent Means Smart Forms are generated function modules.
For example I am generated function module in client 100, can i use this same function module in client 200??
and also can i move the Samrtform from client 100 to client 200??
OR Independent means it is depending Sytem LAND SACPE??
I am confuse. Please any one clarify what EXACTLY MEAN by Smart Forms are Client Independent..
Thanks and Regards,
Vijay.

HI Vijay,
Your Reports are client independent, this means, if you create a report in one client 100 of a dev system, then you can see this report in client 200 of the same dev system.
But SAPscripts are client dependent , this means if you create a script in client 100 you cannot see it in 200 unless you import it using SCC1.
Similarly Smartforms are client independent means you dont have to import it into different clients, it will be available to all the clients once you create in one client 100, like the reports.

Why sapscripts are client dependent & smart forms are client independent?

why sapscripts are client dependent & smart forms are client independent?

You developed the script in development client , you can't find the same in testing client even though the server is same.
Where are You developed the smartform in development client , you can find the same in testing client even though the server is same.
Few more reasons why....? Please read below:
SAPscript technology is based on a mainframe product from the 1980s,
while Smart Forms have only been around since (roughly) 2001. With that sort of time gap,
there are bound to be significant differences between the two tools. As you have noted correctly, client dependence is a fundamental one.
Although SAPscript has had some incremental improvements over time,
its forms have always been -- under the hood -- relatively passive objects, with minimal embedded logic.
These forms were designed to be driven and controlled by ABAP programs,
much in the way ABAP programs read in database tables to produce reports;
if you ever download a SAPscript form (e.g., via utility program RSTXSCRP),
and look at the portable text file it produces you'll see what I mean.
Many text objects (e.g., invoice header texts) are bound directly to documents which are client-dependent, so it makes sense for these text objects to also be client-dependent. From a complexity standpoint, SAPscript forms are close enough to these text objects where I can see how it made sense at the time to make them client-dependent too.
Conversely, a Smart Form is significantly more robust and complex. For instance, it can contain program nodes and nested tables with patterns. When a Smart Form is compiled, it generates an ABAP function module and these are always client-independent. This is appropriate, given that this form has more in common with an ABAP program than its predecessor. For instance, when a print program calls a Smart Form, the form itself takes over to produce output, without any further direction from the print program. In fact, the join is so seamless that I often find myself using a Smart Form's Initialization section for logic to handle any data gathering not handled by the print program. I would never even think to attempt this with SAPscript.
Several factors figured into SAP's decision to make Smart Forms client-independent, including customer feedback. There are significant advantages to client-independence. For instance, a change made in one development client happens immediately across all development clients. Among other things, this means we don't have to waste time figuring which client contains the most recent version -- they all do! In addition, transporting Smart Forms is easier, since we can safely bundle them together in the same transport as their client-independent print programs (no worry about mixing client-dependent and independent objects).

Hi gurus scripts are clint dependent & smart forms are clint indipendent

hi gurus scripts are clint dependent & smart forms are clint indipendent what is the meaning that

SAPscript are client dependent.
They need to be copied from one client to another for testing. this can be done from SE71->utilities->copy from Client.
For transferring between server as like other objects they need to be transport.
As for smartforms they are client independent and all changes are available at the same time in all clients for execution.
Unlike smartforms, if you want to use or modify a sapscript in a different client you need to copy it from that client or client '000'.
This is applicable to it accessory components like graphics, texts..etc
NOTE:
When u execute a smartform it generates the Function Module, which allows u acces the smartform in any cleint
Hope it will make some sense

Hello Jagrut
A special kind of objects are client-dependent repository objects. These objects have to be treated specially in the way that they have to be imported into their specific target client. In contrast, client-independent repository objects can be imported into any client.

If custom programs, reports and FM are client independent

Hi,
If custom programs, reports and FM are client independent why we need to transport them and why they are not visible in other clients............
Thanks,
Tanmaya

Yes Tanmaya you are right,
Say You DI2 system & you have 410, 420 ,430 clients in it, then these objects will be visible in all these clients.
say you have DI4 system 410, 420, 430 clients so you have to transport them to DI4 & to other sytems also like QD1, PD1 etc.
Hope this clears your doubt.
Close the thread if this solves your query.

Client dependent vs client independent

Hi,
CASE-1 :
there are two clients using one Application
Server .
q1) Are scripts and smartforms client-dependent/independent.
CASE-2 :
There are two clients using different Application Servers
q1) Are scripts and smartforms client-dependent/independent.
if smartforms are client independent so why am not able to see it
from dev to qat without trasporting smartform.
as we know smart forms are client independent so under what condition i can see my smartforms in another client without transporting to other client.
please help me out.

Scripts are always client dependant and Smart forms are
client independant.
You will be able to see your smartforms in all the clients in the same application server.
For examples in DEV system there might be three clients
100, 300, 500. So you will be able to see ur smartforms in
all the three clients.
But in order to see SapScripts you will have to transport the form from each client to another.
To see the smartform in you QA server which is a different appplication serer you will have to transport objects.

Pointer to a Smart Form

Anyone please tell me what are pointers to a Smart Form ?
I was just curious when I read the answer given by someone.....
there are a few ways to access the relevant SPRO (Implementation Guide for R/3 Customizing) transaction to switch the pointer to a Smart Form instead of SAPscript. In your case, one of the simplest ways is via transaction code NACE (Conditions for Output Control). From there, the steps are as follows:
1) Select 'V1' (Sales) 2) Click on the 'Output Types' button 3) Select the relevant output type (e.g. BA00) 4) Double-click on the 'Processing routines' folder 5) Double-click on the relevant transmission medium (e.g. 1 for printer). 6) The Smart Form entry field is near the top of the screen 7) On the same screen, you can update the print program entries and remove the obsolete SAPscript reference.
Caution: Even though a Smart Form is client-independent, the above configuration table is client-dependent. In other words, if you make the above change in client 100, it will not affect the settings in client 200.

This is not any kind of POINTERS in the technaical terms.
The author only want to say that if you want to issue a output using the Smartform instead of the SAPScript, you need to follow these steps.

Advantage of SAP Script over Smart forms

Hi Friends,
Can you please let me know some ten points on Advantages of SAP Scripts over Smart Forms.
Thanks,
Gokul

Hi Gokul,
Major Differences between smart form and Scripts are
Multiple page formats are possible in smartforms which is not the case of SAP Scripts
It is possible to have a smartform without a main window
Labels cannot be created in smartforms.
Routines can be written in smartforms tool.
Smartforms generates a function module when activated
Background graphics are possible in case of SMARTFORMS
Assigning the font colours to the text are not possible in the case SMARTFORMS.
Creating and maintaining SMARTFORMS requires half the time compared to SAP Scripts
Smart Forms                                           SAP Scripts
1)Form, Text Module, Styles are          Form, So10 are
client independent                             client dependent
2)In a form diff pages can have         In a form all pages should
different page formats                      follow one page format
3)Back ground picture is possible     Not Possible
4)Maintenance cost is low                Heavy

Smart forms and script

hi,,
 will u tell what is the difference between smart forms and scripts.

hI
Sapscripts are client dependend and smartforms are client independet.
SAPscript are CLient Dependent, SmartForms are Client Independent. The reason why SmartForms are client independent is because when you activate a SMartForm, SAP actually generates a Function Module (which as you know is client independent). The Print Program (or as SAP likes to refer to them these days - Application Program) calls your generated FM.
In the "smartforms" transaction, when you are viewing a smartform, you can go to the Environment->Function Module Name menu path to see the FM name.
Look at the "Application Program" for the Invoice SmartForm (RLB_INVOICE):
determine smartform function module for invoice
 CALL FUNCTION 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'
 EXPORTING formname = lf_formname
 variant = ' '
 direct_call = ' '
 IMPORTING fm_name = lf_fm_name
 EXCEPTIONS no_form = 1
 no_function_module = 2
 OTHERS = 3.
call smartform invoice
 CALL FUNCTION lf_fm_name
 EXPORTING
 archive_index = toa_dara
 archive_parameters = arc_params
 control_parameters = ls_control_param
 mail_appl_obj =
 mail_recipient = ls_recipient
 mail_sender = ls_sender
 output_options = ls_composer_param
 user_settings = space
 is_bil_invoice = ls_bil_invoice
 is_nast = nast
 is_repeat = repeat
 importing document_output_info =
 job_output_info =
 job_output_options =
 EXCEPTIONS formatting_error = 1
 internal_error = 2
 send_error = 3
 user_canceled = 4
 OTHERS = 5.
Difference with SMARTFORMS vs. SapScript (SE71)
The Following are the differences :-
a) Multiple page formats are possible in smartforms which is not the case in SAPScripts
b) It is possible to have a smartform without a main window .
c) Labels cannot be created in smartforms.
d) Routines can be written in smartforms tool.
e) Smartforms generates a function module when activated.
Contributed by : SAP ABAP/4 Programming, Basis Administration, Configuration Hints and Tips
f) Unlike sapscripts (RSTXSCRP), you cannot upload/download Smartform to your local harddisk.
It was said that it was provided in CRM 3.0 version, but not available in R/3. You can download smartforms into Local PC in a XML format. In the same way you can upload this XML format into Smartform. From the smartform editor itself you can call download option, if you are working in CRM 3.0 environment.
In R3 also, you can download into XML format. However, it's not sure about uploading. Refer to the program 'SF_XSF_DEMO'.
In 4.7 Enterprise, other have seen this utlity which is completey missing in 4.6c. There is functionality to downlaod a complete form or only a particular node. (Utilities -> Download form). It will create a XML file and save it in the hard disk.
For others, if you want to download/upload the Smartforms source, you will need the help from the Basis people. What you can do is to create a Transport and then FTP down to your local harddisk. When you need the Smartform source in another system, you have FTP up the Smartforms file back to the SAP server. Finally, the Basis team, will tp it into your system.
g) The protect and endprotect command in sapscript doesn't work with smartforms. For example on a invoice: First data of position no 80. is printed on page one, other data of position no 80 is printed on page 2. And there's nothing you can do about it. Actually, there is something you can do about it. By using a folder node and checking the 'protect' checkbox, everything in that folder will be page protected.
i) The main difference is that SAP script is client-dependant, while smartform is independent. Also there are some advanced and intreractive features available in smartforms.
You can use an External subroutine-call in sapscript editor like:
/: perform <form_name> in program <program_name>
/: using <var1>
/: using <var2>
/: changing <return1>
/: changing <return2>
/:endperform

Client dependent & client independent objects

Hi All,
What is meant by client independent & client dependent ?
I know that sapscripts are client dependent while smartfiorms are client independent. Also reports & FMs are client independent.
Want to have a better idea on this concept....
Thanks in advance..
Sweta

If you create a table in 010 client in DEV server with CLNT as its first fields type, then you will find that table structure in all clients in DEV server. (i.e client independent)
example: function module, abap program, smart form.
If you create a record in that table in 010 client, you will not find that record in other clients. (i.e client dependent)
Example: script.
Sap script was developed a long back.
smartform is developed to avoid these type of some restrictions
Also:
Client dependent Means if you create that data in one client is limited to that client only and it is not accessable in other clients
Like SAP SCRIPTS and STD texts data
where as Client Independent means the data if you create in one client that is available in that as well as in other clients
Like SMARTFORMS, All dictionary Objects data and Repository objects data like Programs, Fun modules, tables etc..
There is no specific reason behind why scripts are client dep[endent and smartforms are client independent!!!
As for SAP -- Scripts are called client dependent because if you create client in say,200 it would be available in that only.If you want to test the script in client 300 then it won't be there,you will have to go to transaction se71 in 300 .Then Utilities-> Copy from client.Give the source as 200 & form name(i.e. script name) & copy.
Few more reasons why....? Please read below:

MANDT is the field which differenciates the table from Client Dependent and Client Independent Tables.
All the Scripts are Client Dependent Objects
Smart Forms, Function Modules are Client Independent Objects.

I have created a table node for display. Where can I check the condition which must satisfy to display the table?
The conditions can be defined in the Conditions tab. In smartforms all the nodes have a condition tab where you can specify the condition to be satisfied to access the node.
How can I define Page Protect in Smartforms?
To define Page Protect for a node go to the Output options and check the Page Protection checkbox.
What is the difference between Template and Table in Smartforms?
The Template contains a fixed number of rows and columns, where the output is fixed.
The Table can have variable number of rows

Moving sap form from client 100 to client 120

hi all,
i have created a form in client 100 . how to move the form to client 120.

Bharath,
If it is a script ask your Basis team to move the request from 100 to 120( seems you have both 100 and 120 in the same server).Scripts are Client Dependent.I guess you will not be having authorisation to SCC1.
If it is a Smartform it will automatically get update in 120.Smartforms are Client Independent.

Client Independent

In commercial, organizational, and technical terms, a self-contained unit in an SAP system with separate master records and its own set of tables.
There are different meanings.
Functionality point of View CLIENT is the highest hierarchial Orgn entity in any module
Clients again are different from each box/system like DEV,Quality and PRD.
Generally we create more clients in DEV system one for technical and other for sandbox and other for Customization etc.
This is a Mandatory field in all tables.
Each client has its own set of Application,master,data. Hence we need to populate data for each clinet separatly.(I think you cant say "implementing the SAP for the client")
Client Independant: These objects are not specific to any client. And it is universal which can be viewed,changed across the clients.
Client Dependant: These are the objects can be viewed, changed for the client for which it has been assigned. Other clients do not have access on these objects.
In SAP, all objects are finally stored as tables. "Mandt" is key field which determines whether the object is client dependant or not.
Client Independant transport requests will make the transported objects available across the clients. and Client dependent transport request make the objects available only for the client mentioned by field "Mandt"
look here:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/b7/8a9a3aaf894871e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
Client Independent(cross client) objects can be accessed from any client without transporting. For example, Reports and smartforms are client independent that means if you create a report or smartform in one client, this report and smartform can be viewed in another client without transporting.
Where as client dependent objects can be viewed or accessed only in the client in which you create them.
All scripts are client dependent and some tables are client dependent.
There are two types of objects in SAP, client dependent and client independent. Objects used in several clients are called client independent while objects used in a specific client is called client dependent. To identify if a table is client dependent, one can use tcodes SE11 or SE12. In the table field attributes, if the MANDT field is present that table is client dependent.
Almost all the programs and database objects are client independent.
