  • Uploading data from Interactive form in Webdynpro ABAP

    Hello All,
    I am uploading data from an Offline interactive form to an ABAP WebDynpro application. Form is first downloaded, data is filled and now I am trying to upload the form to another WebDynpro application. Form DataSource is mapped to Context node with same data structure. However when I upload the form, form data does not pass automatically to specified context node.
    Do I miss any important step in between? I am on SAP NetWeaver 2004s SP10.
    Thanks,
    Nitesh Shelar.

    hi,
    the data is automatically passed to the context when the "interactive form" UI element is there in the view.
    when you just upload the pdf, just like that, it will treat it like a PDF file, not an interactive form....
    try using the same interactive form which you used to create the offline form.
    i hope this helps,
    regards,

  • Hiding fields and subforms on interactive form for WebDynpro ABAP

    Hi All:
    I'm new to using interactive forms and I am creating a new form for material request.  I need to hide selected fields based on the value of other fields.  I also need to hide subforms the same way.
    I have added the formcalc script to hide the field which apperas to work.  But is I remove the field value, the hidden field is not made visible.  This also applies to the hiding of the subform.  I have tried the code at different events but no luck.  If I enter 'KINC' in the plant field, the KINC_TAX_IND is visible. But if I remove or change the value, the KINC_TAX_IND is not being made visible.
    Below is the code I am using:
    if ( PDF_DATA.#subform[0].PLANT.value == "KINC" ) then
    PDF_DATA.#subform[0].KINC_TAX_IND.presence= "visible"
    else
    PDF_DATA.#subform[0].KINC_TAX_IND.presence= "hidden"
    endif
    if ( PDF_DATA.#subform[0].PLANT.value == "" ) then
    PDF_DATA.#subform[0].Subform2.presence= "hidden"
    else
    PDF_DATA.#subform[0].Subform2.presence= "visible"
    endif
    Thanks for any help.

  • Interactive Forms by WebDynpro for ABAP

    Hello,
    I'd like to create Adobe Interactive Forms by "WebDynpro for ABAP".
    Our business requirements are
    - to download offline PDF forms.
    - to upload PDF forms and display Forms online.
    Please let me know how to do this and the document or blogs.
    Best regards,
    Koji

    Hi,
    Downloading a form is as simple as when u enduser opens a form online, he just saves a copy of it, fills it up and uploading is just the next step.
    If u want to upload an offline PDF form:
    Here's the link that'll give a fair idea about this:
    /people/shruti.rathour/blog/2008/02/07/uploading-sap-interactive-form-on-the-abap-webdynpro-view
    If still not clear ask me..
    It's just that u've created a view in webdynpro ABAP and uploading an offline form from that.

  • Use of pdfSource in Interactive Forms in webdynpro

    hi,
    please let me know the use of "<b>pdfSource</b>" property while designing the Interactive form in webdynpro. i tried with and without creating the pdfSource property in my application and still there were no errors while deploying it.
    Thanks
    Regards
    Poojith M V

    Hello Poojith M V,
    Let me answer your query in a little bit more details. The statement first: An interactive form can be rendered with or without a pdfSource attribute.
    But there are significant differences in the way they work and the application is designed. When you have the pdfSource bound to a context attribute of type binary, you do a PDF interchange between the browser and the server. The whole point is that you will always have the latest PDF document (binary) available in that context attribute on the server and you can make use of this binary PDF to do anything your apllication requires (saving it onto the file system, storing it into the database, performing some other operations on the server, email it etc etc etc).
    Now, the other side of it, when you do not have the pdfSource bound to a context attribute, only XML exchange happens in between the browser and the server. Well, that means you only have the latest XML data available on the server at any point in time and since you have not bound the pdfSource, you do not have the binary PDF available to you through the context. There are ways you can get it but not through the context and not the latest one. It would still contain the initial data it had in the first request response cycle as you have not updated the PDF after that.
    Now, the question is, which one to use ? It completly depends on your application requirements. There are certain functionalities which are not possible without having the latest PDF binary in hand. For example, you want to apply a digital signature on the document, you want to add an attachment on the document etc. But, then in most  of the scenarios, the application would just need to exchange data between the client and the server (and vice versa) and do not worry about the binary PDF. That is the ideal case when you need not bind the pdfSource. It will be faster as well.
    Hope that clarifies your doubt to certain extent. Go ahead and start with you interactive form application.
    Best Regards,
    Krish

  • 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.

  • Can we create Interactive forms only with ABAP & without using GP,  or Java

    Hi,
    I would like to know if we can create Interactive forms only with ABAP & without using GP or Java. We want to develop an offline solution using Interactive forms, but would like to use only ABAP for creating the forms. All the documents so far either refer to creating the forms, in reference to / in sync with: ISR (Service Requests), GP (General Procedures) or Java. Can this be done with ABAP alone?
    Regards,
    Ramesh
    Edited by: Ramesh Nallabelli on Apr 16, 2008 12:02 AM

    Hello Ramesh,
    You should be able to create Adobe Interactive Forms using only the ABAP stack (without GP, Java, etc). Please refer to the thread below. Hope it helps.

  • Blank page when using Interactive Forms(Webdynpro thru Java)

    While i was running the application using Interactive Forms iam getting Blank page.
    Previously when i try to view the output, i can able to view it without any errors,suddenly what happened is iam knowing.
    ADS was perfect,CredentialRights there,AdobeReader-7.0,ACF with SP11 installed and Active-X Controls Enabled.
    Can i know where the problem exactly is?Is the problem from client side or server side or do i need any settings for IE6.0?

    Hi Sankar,
    Did you use NW04 SP11 before (with ACF) and upgraded to NW04<b>S</b>? Your ACF version you mentioned is for NW04S and not for NW04.
    Also keep in mind that SAP changed the way Adobe forms are displayed (ACF will be replaced by the ZCI layout) - ZCI stands for Zero Client Installation. If you upgraded to 04S, you might need to change your forms as well (also the WD application).
    On your interactive forms application (the webdynpro) are there any links outside the adobe form? What happens if you click on it? At our side we have created a customer message, since the ZCI form is not being displayed. We also get a white Adobe placeholder, and when we click on a link outside the placeholder, we see the Adobe PDF logo being displayed in the placeholder (placeholder = frame).
    In your case: do you see a small red cross icon in the frame? That means ACF is not installed properly.

  • Do i need ABAP stack on EP, to run Adobe form in Webdynpro ABAP

    Hi All,
    We have an EP running on Java stack, and are going to configure ADS for development of Intercative forms in webdynpro ABAP, on our ABAP stack wihich is seperate R/3 system.
    Do we need to have ABAP stack also on Portal, for the development and execution of Interactive forms on Portal?
    Please clarify my doubt. Its very important
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    installation isn't my hobby and I can't tell you about possibilities of upgrading.
    For WebDynpro ABAP your abap stack must be NW 2004s. Your java stack with ADS must also be NW 2004s because communication between ADS on NW 04 and abap stack on NW 2004s doesn't work - thread "Run JAVA netweaver2004s and ADS 7.0 together with ECC 5.0 "
    But here is certainly someone who can describe it more precisely.

    That is quite the general question and I think if you search SCN you will find many resources - such as videos, tutorials, how-to guides, documentation - on the subject.  Perhaps just starting with the online Help and the associated links form the help article will get you started:

  • Interactive chart in Webdynpro ABAP

    Hi Experts,
    I would like to use this thread to discuss on SAP's recommendation to develop Interactive chart in Web dynpro ABAP .
    Correct me if Iam wrong ,
    1) Business graphics can not be made interactive.
    2) With Gantt UI element ( I couldn't find documentation ).
    3) Interactive Chart in FPM ?
    4) Interactive Chart using FLEX Builder ?
    5) HTML Island ? Though not available for Customers with lower version of SAP ?
    What is SAP's Road map w.r.t Interactive chart in Webdynpro ABAP ?
    Regards,
    Karthi M

    Hi Stuart,
    Business graphics can be made interactive only with click action.
    Gantt UI , Iam not finding any proper documentation. Cursing SAP for that.
    If you are lucky enough to have latest version of SAP. Try with SAP UI5 which has got very good interactive capabilities of graph.

    Karthi M
