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,

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.

ABAP Webdynpro ADOBE interactive form

Hi All,
I have a problem when reading attachments from online adobe interactive form in Webdynpro ABAP.
I have tried two options:
Option1:
Get FP reference.
l_fp = cl_fp=>get_reference( ).
try.
Create PDF Object.
l_pdfobj = l_fp->create_pdf_object( connection = 'ADS' ).
Set document.
l_pdfobj->set_document( pdfdata = lv_pdf ).
Set task to get attachments.
l_pdfobj->set_task_getattachments( ).
Execute, call ADS.
l_pdfobj->execute( ).
Get result.
l_attachments = l_pdfobj->get_attachments( ).
CATCH cx_fp_runtime_system INTO exc.
xslt_message = exc->get_text( ).
ENDTRY.
option 2: in wdomodify method
DATA l_ifba TYPE REF TO cl_wd_interactive_form.
l_ifba ?= view->get_element( 'IF_001' ).
DATA l_form_method_handler TYPE REF TO IF_WD_IACTIVE_FORM_METHOD_HNDL.
l_form_method_handler ?= l_ifba->_method_handler.
DATA l_attachments TYPE tfpattachments.
l_attachments = l_form_method_handler->get_attachments( ).
Both options are not getting the attachments.
Our SAP Netweaver version is 7 and ehp 4, ADS configured.
If i save the pdf with attachments locally and then use the UI upload and read the attachments it works. But not when the interactive form is online and when i add attachments to it and click submit(where submit code is the option 1 code), it is not finding any attachments. I wonder whether pdfsource context stores the attachments or not.
When i check the note, SAP say that attachments are supported from ehp2.
What is that i am missing? Any direction would be good.
In worst case i will do webdynpro screens for attachments maintenance, wanted to check with all experts before taking this option.
Please someone answer.
Thanks
Anu

>When i check the note, SAP say that attachments are supported from ehp2.
That is correct. Attachments are supported as of NetWeaver 7.0 Enhancement Package 2.
>Our SAP Netweaver version is 7 and ehp 4, ADS configured.
Not possible. NetWeaver 7.0 Enhancement Package 4 doesn't even exist yet. In fact 7.0 Enhancement Package 2 won't start ramp-up until December 20th. I think you are confusing your ERP Enhancement Package level with your NetWeaver Enhancement Package level. I'm guessing that it is much more likely that you are on ERP 6.0 Enhancement Package 4. This level of ERP actually runs on NetWeaver 7.0 Enhancement Package 1.

Webdynpro + Adobe Interactive Form + Web Service

Hello Experts,
Can you please provide me the useful solutions for the below mentioned issues.
I created a Webdynpro with one view .Kept the adobe interactive form on the view by binding the structure with all my fields to the data source. And one webservice is linked to this form by keeping one submit button on the form. Iam sending the entire data filled on the form to the webservice as importing structure which is binded to the DATA SOURCE of the View in the Webdynpro. Now my questions are,
1.Among these fields,i have a list box (can select multiple values from the list). Iam pasing the values to this list box from the Webdynpro with out changing the TYPE of field in the structure. But all the selected values of list box should be available in the web service. how is it possile?. The importing structure contains the TYPE of that field as a data element and not a TABLE TYPE.
2. How to make the borders of the field in red color in run time. (like it comes for mandatory fields initially).
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ram.

Hi,
But now, my doubt is "How to know the list of values selected in the list box to concatenate using scripting in th Adobe form it self? "
For list box which is multiselect, when you say this.rawValue you get a arraylist, i believe separated by "\n" which mean newline on the form and separated by # when it reaches to SAP.
And also, regarding border color. The suggested logic is not changing the color of the border of the field. Instead it is giving additional border in specified color. But, Is it not possible to change the actual border color instead of adding additional borders with other color
You feel like aditional border because the field is an input type which has emboss effect to look, you can change the appearance of the file from palletes/windos>object>field-->appearance dropdown, just say it to none and alter the type field in Value tab from user entered optional to readonly you will see the difference.
Let me know if this suffice you.
Cheers,
Sai

Abap Webdynpro & Adobe Interactive Forms : Refresh Context

We created a Abap Webdynpro program to fill an Adobe interactive form. When we read the first time the data the form context is filled and displayed. When we read other data then the form is not refreshed. This is only the case when the form is enabled as interactive.
When we use 2 views then everyting is ok. But we want to place the form in an Embedded View, then we have the same problem. Is this a know problem ?

Hi,
We faced a similar Issue. We could get past it by chaging the view property to "When Visible" for both the embedded view & Main view.
Try & letme know if it works. We are trying to solve some other issues aroind this right now. Only the checkboxes dont get populated the second time we go to the view having Adobe form. Rest all data on form is refreshed. But not the Check Boxes.
thanks,
Phani

Adobe Interactive Forms using Web AS ABAP Only

Hi,
After setting up ADS, we want to publish an adobe interactive form to a website. We want this form to be truly interactive, meaning users can enter data through it with validations. My question is, is it possible to develop this form using ABAP only and deploy it in WEB AS ABAP? Or do we really need to use NWDS and WEB AS JAVA for this?
I saw somewhere that ABAP can only provide printforms (static?) while JAVA (in NWDS) can generate interactive forms.
Please help.
Thanks and Regards,
Tyken

Hi,
For this you must define the form's interface based on XML and not DDIC ...

How to capture full file path on Adobe Interactive Form using Acro JS

Hi All,
I have a requirement where I have a field ZPATH1 on Adobe Interactive Form. I am putting a BROWSE button and writing following JavaScript on CLICK event on this button for populating the chosen file path into field ZPATH1.
*Start of JavaScript
var sFile;
event.target.importDataObject(sFile);
var oFile;
oFile = event.target.getDataObject(sFile);
this.parent.parent.Sub_Form_Fields_Mass.ZPATH1.rawValue = oFile.path;
*End of JavaScript
1. event.target.importDataObject(sFile) --> Giving me the pop up to select the file.
2. this.parent.parent.Sub_Form_Fields_Mass.ZPATH1.rawValue = oFile.path; --> Putting the oFile path in field ZPATH1 on the form.
3. This way is only giving me the selected FILE NAME whereas I need the complete path.
I have tried below way also:
this.parent.parent.Sub_Form_Fields_Mass.ZPATH1.rawValue = even.target.path;
This function returns me the complete path but in URL form. It does not give me the presentation server path.
Please suggest me how to get the complete path of presentation server to the file.
Appreciation would be honored in form of points!!!

Ashish

please post it here for quick response

Dropdown List in Adobe Interactive Form Using Webdynpro ABAP

Hi Pals,
In my scenarion I need to list the Rating Code in the Dropdown list box of the Interactive Form.
Form Created by using SFP transaction
Not XML Schema interface
Passing the values to the Form by using the default function module that which created automatically while creating the Form
Am binding the Field and also binding for the list Item. Even though the values are not listing.
$record.sap-vhlist.<Field name>\.DATA\.FIELD.item[*]
I have followed the above format , but no use ...
Field Name : rating_code
$record.sap-vhlist.RATING_CODE\.DATA\.FIELD.item[*]
Field Name : value
$record.sap-vhlist.VALUE\.DATA\.FIELD.item[*]
but it is not working for me, will appreciate if some one really help me to fix this.!!!!
Thanks & Regards
Andy.

For the form buttons to work on-line in your WebDynpro app, you need to change the PDF form to be Dynamic:
 if(firstTime){
 // We need to set the PDF to be Dynamic, for the form JavaScript code to work
 IWDPDFDocumentInteractiveFormContext pdfContext =
 WDPDFDocumentFactory
 .getDocumentHandler(wdThis.wdGetAPI(), "InteractiveForm")
 .getDocumentContext();
 pdfContext.setDynamic(true);
In this code segment, "InteractiveForm" is the UI id.
I was able to get that far, but I although I add subforms dynamically via javascript, the mapped WebDynpro context node doesn't pick up any new elements.
ie: if I start with two WD context elements (0..n) cardinality, then add a third via the form JavaScipt button, I see changes only in the two context elements when I submit. A third context element isn't created or populated.

WEBDYNPRO ADOBE INTERACTIVE FORMS INTERNAL TABLE BINDING

Hello Firends,
I have created one table in the WebDynpro Program with Context NODE_RESULT having Cardinality 0...n in the View ADOBE_VIEW. In this view I have created the Interactive Form and specified the properties: data source as NODE_RESULT, Template Source as Z_XX_ADOBE_FORM.
Also I have made an supply function for the context NODE_RESULT as GET_RESULT.
In the Supply Function I have used the BAPI to fill the contents of Internal table (itab_data). And have binded the itab_data using node->bind_elements... (ALSO Tried node->bind_table...).
Also I have coded the HANDLE_IN method.
Here the point is that I can see the table in the interactive form layout and have successfuly binded all the elements and when I have tested the form, the Adobe form is showing the blank table. i.e. it is showing up only the design of table, not the internal table values what I have binded.
I have made every check like ADS is working fine as I can run the Interactive form through the ABAP program (i.e. through se38, where the form is allowing me to save the data in the PDF).
Have installed the ACF.
Also checked that the form is XML based schema and it Generated.
Here everything is fine but I am unable to bind the internal table from webdynpro to Adobe Interative form.
Friends plz help me in resolving this issue.
Thanking You
Regards
Pradeep Goli

Hi Vaibhav,
Sorry for replying late.. I have done debugging on the node and found values are being populated to the internal table which i have created, and also as you said i have dragged the node and found the table icon is appearing and in form object pallette of that table the poperty of binding is "....[*]" is also creating but the vvalues are not being reflected to the PDF output.
Also i have tried many approaches like first creating the form and then creating the webdynpro program and by linking the form to the wendunprro. But the result is same i.e. no values are being found in output.
But i have a doubt that what are the system requirements to get this binding done properly. i.e. I am using Netweaver 2004 with SPS release 7 and Adobe 8 and ACF is being installed in the system. And also I can see the values if I am using the structure but the problem is with table. And I can work with the ABAP ADOBE where if I am coding using se38 and executing the values are excellently displaying in the PDF output(Similar case with interactive forms) Also ADS is properly configured.
Is it compulsary to have SPS GREATER than 8 for NETWEAVER 2004.
Please kindly help me in this regard. Thanking you at the earliest.
Regards
Pradeep Goli

Reg: WebDynpro Adobe Interactive forms

Hi Experts,
      I am using an application where i have 2 screens, First screen I have a button Create, when i click on Create a new window with interactive form opens where I have an Adobe form in Editable mode, here i need to enter data and save which gets saved in DB. I have a Save button and back button in this screen
      I am using Interactive form with displaytype as Native, Template Source as Custom developed one, whose interface is an XML Based interface and layout type is ZCI. The XML based Interface was generated with the Node in WebDynpro application.
      When i traverse to the screen with adobe form in editable mode and click save or back button, nothing happens, the internet explorer shows a wait status and nothin else happens. The whole process stands still with a image showing wait. Does Anyone have an idea why this problem has arised? I even tried to put a debugger in the code of save button but the problem is its not going to that part of code itself.
Please help ASAP.
Regards
Naveen

hi,
If that is laready done, then you should check if the form is set to be of Dynamic Type.
You can check that in Layout Tab. By accessing the menu option Edit->Form Properties.
This wll display a window, in that click on Defaults tab , there make sure on the DropDown for XDP preview format, "Acrobat 7 (Dynamic) XML Type" or "Acrobat 8 (Dynamic) XML Type" is selected.
Hope this solves your problem.

Error in webdynpro java interactive forms used

hello,
I have followed the installation manual to configure ADS wizzard service which is done successfully. I have also made a webdynpro java project where I use very simple smartform with FirstName and LastName as context variables. But when I run the application I see
java.io.IOException: Cannot connect to http://<server>:50000/inspection.wsil, used user to connect: administrator Check if the valid port is used or the system is not down. HTTP Message : Unable to connect to <server>:50000 - Connection timed out: connect
If I put this wsil URL it works fine. But I don't know if any thing is missing in configuration. I am quite new in smartform need help.
I have also downloaded credtional file from SDN but I am new and need help to setup in NWA if this cause the error.
If any one can recommend me step by step guide would be helpful for me.
Thanks in advance.
NK

Hello Otto,
well I have no such concrete one source to follow and setup ADS services. But some how from sap help portal, and Tutorial on Installing Credentials and Configuring ADS author Amol Gupta, and ADS configuration guide sourced: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/30a9630b-4f89-2a10-6fab-e311b3ffd9a6
I have also tested the service in the wsnavigator AdobeDocumentServicesTestVi, but got error level 2 with Entity: ConfigurationService Error: Checking for default credential aliases - failed
Here I found creditional error. which I have to configure in NWA, I guess.
I have downloaded creditional from http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/70aa75cc-6ac3-2910-c78c-ade192ec861e
I need help to configure this creditional also.
And If you have some useful guides then please recommend me.

NK
