Triggering SRM workflow from a web-based form (HTML)

I am a beginner in SAP, please bear with me.
I have created an online data entry form using html to populate a table in a non-SAP database. I am able to call this form in SAP EP using URL iView.
I want some help on triggering an SRM workflow from this form.
Thanks.

Hi Vadim,
I would like to explain the scenario:
1.The form would reside in the SAP Enterprise portal
2.When the form is completed and the "submit" button is clicked, I expect a workflow in SAP SRM to be triggered.
3.The workflow is a developed three-step approval workflow. It was developed using the Hierarchical Approval workflow wizard.
Questions:
1. How can the workflow be triggered when the submit button is clicked?
2. How can the data from the Form be integrated into the workflow and vice versa?

Icons files will not displaying when running web-based forms locally

My icon files (jpgs) are not displaying from within Forms Developer 10g or when I run the web-based forms from within Developer. I have tried the following without success:
6.4 Deploy Icons for Forms Running on Web
Option One: For Running Web Based Forms from Within the Forms Builder in Oracle 10g Developer Suite
1) Copy all the icon image files (*.jpg) to the directory of <Oracle_10g_Developer_Suite_Installation_Root_Dir>\forms\j2ee\formsapp\formsweb\icons
2) Make sure to set imageBase=DocumentBase in the file < Oracle_10g_Developer_Suite_Installation_Root_Dir >\forms\server\formsweb.cfg.
3) Edit the < Oracle_10g_Developer_Suite_Installation_Root_Dir >\forms\java\oracle\forms\registry\Registry.dat file, specify the icon image file extension by modifying the following line:
default.icons.iconepath=icons/
default.icons.iconextension=jpg
Save this Registry.dat file.
4) Restart the OC4J Instance.
5) Launch the form from Forms Builder.
I just got a new laptop and am setting everything up again. I have everything setup the same way as on my old machine (same as above). It worked fine on my old computer but not on the new one.

hi
try to create jar file for u r all jpgs but also u have to check the size of u r images
and if possible try to resave the same images by using Acdsee or use any other image viewer softwares.
hope this helps u...

Convert LiveCycle Designer Filleable Form to Web-based Form??

I have a fillable form that was created from scratch using LiveCycle Designer, and I'd like to convert it to a web-based form which I can then post on my website and email the link to others. Is it possible to convert a fillable form to a web-based form?

No, you would have to recreate it in FormsCentral.

InfoPath Web based Form Error

Hi All,
I am getting following error message in InfoPath web based forms deployed on SharePoint Forms library (MOSS 2007).
The following HTML tag is not supported: 'comment'
Any idea how to solve this problem.
For Your Information: I am designing forms in Microsoft Office InfoPath 2007 with browser-compatible features only.
Kind Regards..

Dear Clayton Cobb,
Appreciate your response...
When i click on error message in Design Checker, it doesn't take to me on control which is responsible for error. Otherwise usually it happens as you said when you click on error message in Design Checker it shows you the control which is error prone.
I have also tried to search this error message but no success...

How to call an ABAP based web service from a web page (form)

Hi,
I am trying to figure out how I can call my own developed ABAP based web service. I was able to successfully test it in the WS navigator and am now wondering what I need to do to embed the service call in a plain simply web page (form). Basically I'd like to create a web form allowing to specify the parameters and with a 'Submit' button pass the parameters to the web service and launch it.
Is this possible or do I need some kind of SDK to accomplish this?
Thanks for any hints and tips.

How to gather a set of floating point numbers from a web page form?

I am pretty new to Java and I am working on a project to apply Benfords law to find the probability of digits submitted by the user. My first step is to gather set of floating point numbers from a web page. How do I go about doing this? Any suggestion or a proper site where I can learn this stuff will be highly appreciated.

I am using NetBeans IDE 5.5.1 and for this project. I have realized that the first question was not well phrased.
I created a web project with 2 jsp files and a class file in it. When my jsp file runs I ask the user to enter a number for finding the probablility based on Benfords law.
This is what I got so far:
This is input.jsp
<h1></h1>
Please enter a number to be checked
<form action="result.jsp" method="post">
<input type="number" name="number" >
<input type="submit" value="Check number">
</form>
</body>
</html>
This is result.jsp
String number=request.getParameter("number");

Implementation costs SuS-SRM scenario (service procurement/web-based)

Hi out there,
I am currently trying to rough-estimate the implemantation costs for a SuS-SRM scenario (service procurement - supplier enablement/web-based) with all the components it requires:
software-wise: SRM with SuS and XI would be needed
Hardware-wise ? (rough estimate)
Consulting fees ? (rough estimate)
Current facts: SAP Enterprise 4.7 in use
Or maybe somebody can refer me to a SAP price list. I have searched high and low with no positive result. A rough estimate would be good enough.

Andre

Dear Emmanuel,
Yes you will not find the Interface mapping after the scenario generation. These SRM scenarios are Proxy communication scenarios and mainly involved with no change in structures.
Regarding the Communication channels, yes you have to create the channels first, before the scenario generation.
The SRM scenarios are mainly used with proxy communication and you have to create channels with adapter type XI.
In your case - the scenario is - Service_Procurement_SupplierEnablement . you have to create two receiver communication channels. this scenario mainly exchanges data between EBP and SUS. the integration happens with the below interfaces-
InvoiceConfirmation_Out, InvoiceRequest_Out, PurchaseOrderRequest_Out, ServiceAcknowledgementConfirmation_Out, SupplierPortalTradingPartner_CreateOrChange_Out , InvoiceRequest_Out etc.

Developer Server & Web Based Forms

Hi,
Can anyone provide any tips on improving the performance of web based developer forms?
I am currently using a static implementation in Developer 6 with Oracle Appliactions Server as the web server. Is there any advantages/disadvantages of using the cartridge based implementation versus the static implementation?
Thanks.
-William Ho

William,
There will be no performance advantage over static or cartridge implementation.
If you could be a little more specific over what sort of performance problems you are seeing then I can help you more.

Web based form

Hi all
I know how to run a form as web enabled form. But i do not know how to run it as web based page;i.e; Like any web page. Any body have an idea?
regards

There are a lot of cool things you can do within the environment in terms of customization to your webpage but forms is an applet that will run inside your browser. You can go into your formsweb.cfg file and change the "Look and feel" and add a splashscreen...

How create a fillable web based form from MS Word document

I have imported my MS Word document into Acrobat 9 Designer. Now what? I am totally lost, is there a guide out there some where that could be of some benefit. Has anyone done this before? Can not get it to preview or test so how do I know what I am needing to do next.
Any help or advice is helpful.

You have to manually add fields or use "automatic form field recognition".
If you use Open Office Org Writer, you can create the form in Wirter and add various fields, and then "Export as PDF" and the form fields and optional values will be present in a PDF form.

DML on LOB objects in the web based forms/devl6i

hi,
I have to migrate and build a new forms
using devl6i in web architecture.
At present the application is using
Long Raw column and OLE container in Client/server mode.
How I can insert ,update and delete
the LOB/Long raw objects using the three
Tier architecture.
I havent came accross any standard document
from oracle to handle this problem.
Is this requirement so tough that Oracle is
trying to escape??
Thank you...

I was facing the same problem as you and all I found was the information that since OLE functionality is bound to MS Windows systems there is no way to activate OLE in Web Environment with Forms 6i.
Sorry.

Triggering SAP workflow from non-SAP system

I am trying to use WF-XML to trigger a workflow in SAP from non-SAP system.
I have already created a workflow template in SAP and want to test the scenario if this will be really hit by the incoming xml message.
Questions:
1. How the data from incoming xml is tranferred to workflow container element? IF system does it, how is done? If not how to address it?
2. Do we have some tool here, to simulate this situation - to create a test xml incoming message with SAP and really see if that triggers the desired workflow template. Pupose is testing the scenario first in SAP and then going to the other system to test the real interface.
This is somewhat similar that we see in incoming IDoc. In Idoc we can simulate the incoming IDoc structure and test.
Is any one here who can guide on this?
Thanks in advance.
Rgds.

Hi,
You don't need a triggering event. In the xml it says which workflow should be started. You don't need a class to fill the container. The service does this.
I think there is a way to generate an example xml but I don't know exactly how. In the <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/54/de9e3887d6174fe10000009b38f842/frameset.htm">SAPHelp</a> there are some examples of the documents. Check also the entry above it about the creation of a WF_XML document. In the first and third example it shows a container element and its value (QUESTION).
Try to get a copy of the book "Practical workflow for SAP" by Alan Rickayzen. It has got a part about this.
Also check this link from the SAPHelp:
<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/e8/ea8d380be34e6ce10000009b38f842/frameset.htm">Call Tab Page</a>
