Testing Interactive Form Logon Displays Odd Color Scheme

For over a year we have been using this one interactive form.  The color scheme, when logging into this form, has changed. The developer who created the form has made no changes, and I do not know of any changes on the Basis side that would cause this.
When I test the form from SICF, the initial logon screen has a black background and the logon window where we enter the username and password is outlined in blue. Once I log into the form, it displays properly. Any ideas on what may be causing this form to display in this odd manner?
I know it is just the colors and the form itself still works, but some endusers find it hard to read the logon screen when it displays like this.
Thanks,

Goto transaction SICF.
Under default_host>sap>bc>webdynpro>sap>(name of interactive form) - double click on the form
Select Error Pages Tab, within the Create/Change Service window that is now open. Switch to change mode, and Scroll down the page to select the configuration button. 
This opens the System Logon Configuration Window and under Logon Layout and Procedures you will see two options. SAP Implementation and User-Specific. SAP Imlpementation has a Tmpl (Template) and SAP ICON selection. User-Specifc has a class your developer would have created. You select which option and settings for that option you want. Then select the adjust Links and Images. When I made these changes, it asked me for a transport.
Once you have applied the changes, created the transport and saved everything. You will now be able to run a test of the form from SICF to see what the new logon layout looks like. You just transport the change through the rest of your systems.

  • Newbie question - testing interactive forms

    Hi,
    I've created an interactive form in SFP successfully and I want to test it.
    When I click on the test button it allows me to run the generated function module.
    When I run that function module it asks me for a printer but I don't want to print the form, I just want to open the PDF file and enter data.
    BTW - if I do specify a printer then doesn't even print as it says the printer is not suitable for ADS documents.
    Thanks,
    Tristan

    Hi Tristan,
    When you test the FORM using SFP then you can only display the Adobe form. When you execute the FM, a window appears asking you to key in Printer name, then check out PRINT PREVIEW option for displaying Adobe form.
    And BTW,If you want to capture data using Adobe form, you require to attach this Adobe form to Web Dynpro ABAP. This will make the form to be interactive.
    Check this exercice to get to understand more on Adobe Interactive forms.

  • Adobe Interactive Form is displayed in Read Only mode

    Hi All,
    I created Adobe Interactive Form in SFP.
    The following properties are set to the form.
    Layout Type -ZCI Layout
    Preview Type - Interactive Form
    XDP Preview Format - Acrobat 7.0.5 Dynamic PDF
    In PDF preview tab, I can enter data into the Text Fields.
    I added this form in a web dynpro ABAP application using Interactive Form UI element.
    The following properties are set to the UI element.
    DataSource - bound to the context
    displayType - native
    enabled - checked
    templateSource - Formname
    readonly - unchecked.
    When I run this application, the form is displayed in readonly mode.
    I can't enter any data into the text field.
    Any of you guys know that how to resolve this?
    Thanks
    Thruna

    Hi,
    I already face the same issue and after several days working on this issue and many hours on debugging it seems that interface type is very important if you want to use the form in WD4A (this requirement is confirmed by SAP thru an OSS message for me )
    Does the interface based on DDIC or XML ?
    If it's a DDIC interface , sorry that can't works in WD4A as interactive forms. You must define the interface as based on XML for this .
    Hope this help you.
    PS : Finally ,as my forms was very complicated my customer decide to not make it available in WD4A .....

  • Form Colur with different Color Schemes

    Hi,
    When loading a new form from a xml file, SBO (6.5) doesn't use the color from the selected color scheme.
    Ther are no properties exposed in the form object to adjust the colour in code.
    Is a certain value required as the color (e.g. -1) in the xml file to enable an auto color mode?
    Thanks,
    Gerold

    I haven´t see any property for changing the forms color. I suppose you could access the srf file and change the color after you load your custom form.
    What points me to another question... Which color should you use ? Perhaps save an existing form as xml, and then read the color property... it seems quite a lot of work for the functionallity.
    By the way, in the SBO GUI the color is set for each form. You can have a grey form and a blue form together.

  • WD Compoenent - Non -Interactive form- Not displaying output

    Hi,
    I am practicing this adobe form session [https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/media/uuid/a3e2f018-0b01-0010-c7a8-89deb6e63e97] from SDN.Unfortunately this session was not complete so I am trying to complete it.
    In brief : this WD component accepts CARRID and displays output in PDF format.
    I was able to capture selection and get respective entries for that selection in my internal table but my display is blank.Here is what I coded in Search Button..
    method ONACTIONSEARCH .
        data: isflight type table of sflight.
        DATA lo_nd_adobe_data TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node.

          IMPORTING
            static_attributes = ls_data_selections ).
    * Retrieve that data from the database. Normally it is suggested to
    * encapsulate the data retrieval in a separate class.
    * For simplicity, the SELECT statement has been implemented here.
        clear isflight. refresh isflight.
        select * into corresponding fields of table isflight from sflight
        where carrid =  ls_data_selections.

        lo_nd_adobe_data->bind_elements( isflight ).
    endmethod.
    endclass.
    Anything wrong with my code..I am getting my data in  isflight internal table.
    FYI..I am throwing output as text field in adobe form.

  • Testing WebDynpro Adobe Interactive forms Using eCATT or any other testing

    Hi All,
    We are testing WebDynpro Adobe forms (Java). is there any methodology to test Interactive forms not normal webdynpro applications. Especially Interactive form with UI fields like dropdwons, datepickers dropdown values are from BAPI/RFC's  in these forms we will perfom actions like send data to backend and display PO created in onther view.
    once we repaly the test script all the drop down values are not updated this test scenario we tested with LR.
    Is there any procedure to test this scenario using eCATT or any other testing Tool.
    Rehards,
    Murali

    Hi Vara,
    You can develop Interactive forms using WD ABAP also.
    [E Learning- Interactive Forms using WD ABAP|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/media/uuid/c766e918-0b01-0010-99b1-c2b78cd059b3]
    WD Java is useful in case, when your ABAP system is less than ECC 6.0. Otherwise you can achieve same functionalities in WD ABAP also.
    Hope this will help you.

  • Is it possible to use Adobe Interactive Forms in SAP (ABAP) Trial Version?

    Dear All,
    i need some help concerning the usage of Adobe Interactive Forms in SAP (ABAP) Trial Version.
    I installed SAP Netweaver 7.01 (ABAP Trial Version) and i would like to use the Adobe Interactive Form editor (transaction SFP). Is this trial version prepared for this? Is it possible to edit and test Interactive Forms in the ABAP Trial Version too?
    Somebody told me that he installed Adobe Lifecycle Designer 7.1 but the layout manager part of the editor shortdumped when he wanted to go back to other  parts of the editor or he wanted to save what he did...
    Is it enough to install Adobe Lifecycle Designer 7.1? Is there something else to install or configure?
    Thank you for your help in advance.
    All the best, P. Phil.

    Yes, you need the lifecycle designer installed.  That should be enough to work with the SFP transaction.  But to actually use the form, I think you do need the ADS(Adobe Document Services) which runs on the java stack.

  • Interactive form is not showing data during design time

    Hello,
    I have created a interactive form to display PDF. It is of 12 page. I created and checked in the code to DTR but now when I checked out the DC and and edited the interactive form for further update it is not showing any thing in the design time,showing only one blank page. However if I build and run that checked out project it is showing the proper data at runtime, so now i am unable to update the pdf.
    Please help and let me know what to do.

    Hi Timo,
    Sorry for the late response and not specifying more in detail.
    My Jdeveloper version is 11.1.1.6 R1.  When I ran for the first time, it was working fine. Then later on, when I was running it was opening completely blank screen.
    I thought it is something to do with the permission to the task flow. I have opened web.xml and jazn-data.xml file to check and closed without tweaking these files.
    Now, I was not able to open the page in the designer also. It was just showing hierarchy of all the components.
    I copied the backup again and it worked. What could be the reason so that I can avoid doing this in future?
    Is this related to Jdeveloper bug as I have seen on other forums highlighting this issue.

    I could not able to solve it .
    Will you please suggest me how to  solve it .
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Madhavi,
    Use a Two Level Hierarchy in your Form Designer
    Level 1 --> Top Most Subform (Flow Layout, and Flow Direction - Western Text)
                   <All the Static Texts i.e the Table Headers> (Non Repeating)
    Level 2 --> Parent Subform (Flow Layout, Flow Direction - Table)
    Level 3 --> Child Subform (Flow Layout, Flow Direction - Table Row) <All the Reapeating Data Elements>                              
    Try this out. Hope this helps u

    Interesting. I might have a problem like you mentioned.
    I am running one SRM50 system (abap+java) and one ECC6.0 (abap)
    I want to use ADS from both ABAP stacks. I have configured both and the ADS including interactive forms works from the SRM5 abap system, but has the problems described from the ECC6.0 system.
    The abap software components from both systems differ. The working one has aba, basis, apl on level 8, the non woking on 12.
    Now which of the abap components is involved and would the older level 8 componenet work with the newer ADS (is it downward compatible). Since I could upgrade the java ADS to the latest level , but do not want to upgrade the abap stack on the SRM5 system.
    I am afraid of breaking a working SRM 5 system.

    Hi Arjun,
    In Button Event,you have to call the RFC. In that RFC you can use the Workflow (which you have created for superior approvals).

  • ADOBE Interactive Form not getting displayed in Browse

    Hi,
    Currently I am working on EhP4 project on ECC 6.0 environment. For HCM, We have interactive ADOBE forms for MSS. While testing we found that all buttons are displayed in a browser (we are are window 7 IE 8 ) but interactive form is not getting displayed in the browser (Fill out Form as part of MSS).  It only displays a line
    Checked ADS configuration as per oss note and works ok. Did HTTPWATCH - browser is getting (GET) the Adobe forms with values but not displaying it. If I copy URL from HTTPWATCH GET line in a separate browser window it displays the form.
    Thanks in advance your help.
    Regards
    Jitendra Pongurlekar

    Hey Chris (and others),
    We were having this same problem, and this Note fixed the issue (thanks!).  However, we are still experiencing another issue with HCM Processes and Forms under EhP4.  Before this Note, it took about ten minutes before "single line display" would show up.  Now after the Note, we get the full form, but it still takes ten solid minutes of waiting before it appears in the window.  We're pretty sure it's not a Portal issue, nor an ADS issue, but something with the web dynpros on the ABAP side.  However, we have not yet been able to resolve it.  Anyone else run into this performance problem with HCMP&F after upgrading to EhP4?  We don't have the problem with EhP3.
    Best regards,
    Matt

  • Adobe Interactive Forms displaying returned tables

    can anyone help me display returned tables in adobe
    interactive forms
    i have an 2 adobe interactive forms, one for input
    the other for output on 2 different views
    the input form takes a few parameters, calls the
    back end RFC and the
    output form displays okay, but i just get the last
    row from the table
    i've tried binding 1 of the output table parameters to a drop down box and subform,the drop down box displays
    one of the return parameters but will not drop down
    whenever i include a subform i get a java error on
    the output form with no display
    i know there are several rows returned from testing the rfc inside abap workbench

    Hi Dennis,
    To display table in Adobe forms.
    Follow these steps :
    1. Insert one sub furm.
    2. make its type to flow content and flow direction to Table in object property.
    3. Insert another subform in above sub form and makes its type to flow content and flow direction  to Table row.
    4.In binding tab for this subform check the checkbox for "Repeat subform for each Data Item" and in min count you can specify at a time how much rows you want to display.
    5. Now place your UI Elements for Data view into this sub form.
    6. format these ui elements as you required.
    Run application now u can see multiple rows in adobe forms, if you have multiple elements in your table node.
    Let me know the status.

    Hi Siong,
    If you are using web dynpro than whatever the values presents in the context will be displayed in the Form.
    in case of web dynpro you need to to perform any parsing or transformation.
    Just make sure than you are properly mapping the web dynpro context and Pdf context.
    check your web dynpro component, if you get the correct values in context, than these values will be displayed in fore also.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Arvind
