Validate Planning form Drop Downs against combo edit tables

I've got a requirement on the last 2 hyperion planning implementations to validate drop down menus on planning data forms against peoplesoft combo edit tables. Is there any possible way to do this without concatenating dimensions?
For example if a user picks fund 5432 and in peoplesoft's combo edit table that fund only has 5 associated projects the project drop down should only show 5 projects out of 1000. The same exact validation would also apply to smartlists replicating dimensions in public sector planning and budgeting.
Thanks in advance!

Don't expect any answers as to what Adobe is planning on doing. The people posting here are 99% users, just like you, not Adobe employees. And those who do know will probably not say so, anyway...
1) That's possible using a script. But you can always add a single space as the default value...
2) Also possible with a script, but very buggy and not recommended.
3) Also possible with a script.
4) That one's easy. Use a blank PDF file where you create those menus, and then you could simply copy them over to your other files from there.
5) There are currently two date pickers available for Acrobat forms: The one by FormRouter and a newer one by Max Wyss, which is not free but is quite good and uses a dialog object instead of form fields.
You can request new features here, by the way:

Drop Down List in a table - different options for each row

How can i have a drop down list in a table with different options for each row?
My requirement is this.. I want to display, say employee dtails in a table, and one column is employee hobbies, whcih can have multiple values and each employee may have a different list of hobbies. So how can we populate the drop down for each row, with different options?

Hey. Uh, this probably isn't the answer you were looking for, but it sounds like you've got a problem with your database design there. Generally speaking, your tables shouldn't have multi-valued fields, in the relational model anyway (sql). Instead, you should look at adding a separate table like EMPLOYEE_HOBBIES. Then you have a foreign key using the employees primary key as the foreign key in the employee_hobbies table, see what I mean? I might have misunderstood your explanation though, I'm not sure.
Alternatively, you could just have hobbies as a big freeform varchar field, and don't bother to make people separate their hobbies into different fields (you'd have to abandon the drop-down listbox idea in this case). If there's no really important reason to make the distinction, then it's probably easier just to not do it.

Drop-down list in editable ALV

Hello all,
Does anyone know how to display the values instead of the internal values when using the alias table to specify a drop-down list in an editable ALV grid ?
Apparently the BC_ALV* examples have the same problem.
thx
Pieter

Hi,
These links will help you to implement a drop down list...
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/9f/dbabe435c111d1829f0000e829fbfe/content.htm
Also refer the pgm:
RSDEMO_DROPDOWN_LISTBOX
BCALV_TEST_GRID_F4_HELP
Also take a look the SAP example program BCALV_TEST_GRID_EDITABLE. It has a working Drop Down List Box.
You have to fill a table of type lvc_t_drop. In this you set a handle and value for every item you want to have in a all possible drop down lists. You will later connect a sub set of this data to your grid display data by joining on this handle. You can then send this table to your ALV grid using the method SET_DROP_DOWN_TABLE. You will also want to set the DRDN_FIELD in your field catalog to the field name in your data table that will contain the handle for the values in your drop down table you want to expose. You will need to add this field to your data table.

How to change number of remembered items which would be shown in drop down list for edit controls. This use to be at least 5 I think, but now it is only 2!

I need to see 3 different remembered usernames in drop-down list for username input.

Works fine here. I can see at least four user names in the drop down list of a login form.

Webdynpro for ABAP - interactive Adobe form - drop down lists not working

Hi all,
I'm trying to create an interactive form for a client using webdynpro for ABAP and I've viewed the demo "Create SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe with Web Dynpro for ABAP" by Thomas Jung, but when I implement it the form following similar steps the form is not interactive.
In the properties of the "InterativeForm", I've tried clicking the "enabled" flag both on and off. I've also tried setting the "displayType" property to both "ActiveX" and "Native". But none of this worked.
I though my problem might be with Adobe reader so I switched from 8.0 back to 7.0 but this didn't make any difference either.
The system we are using is NW04s WAS 700. Any hints would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
-tom

Thanks for the suggestion Dezso. I've downloaded a newer version of ACF as indicated by the OSS note and installed it. I'm still having the same issue.
My basic question is what options should I be using in the form and on the InteractiveForm component? It looks like because of the evolution of the product there are multiple options available. I recall reading somewhere that as of a certain SP level we should have ZCI (zero client install) available. The would be our preference. It will be a support nightmare if each user needed a manual download of ACF.exe installed.
Should I click the "enabled" flag on the InteractiveForm object? When I create the form should I use the "Native" drop down list or the one from the "Active X" tab? I would like to use the "List Box" control on the form as well but it is only available in the "Standard" tab. So does that mean I can't get the selections from a "List Box"?
Thanks,-tom

Master detail form - drop down list in detail (ADF)

Hi,
Been racking our brains for a few days/weeks about this one, and would be grateful for any pointers why this does not work.
We have developed an in-house application for dealing with risk and chemical assessments.
The process we have adopted allows users to create an assessment first then they are taken to another form where they are then able to add risk factors/ or chemicals relating to the assessment. The intention is to present the user with the ability to select from a drop down list which contains the chemical names.
We have been going through the forums and have tried all the examples we can find (all the examples work on our system), but when we try to adapt them to our approach they create an error indicating that they cannot find the values in the entity object.
Has anyone else come across the same problem or is it that the ADF is not suited to dealing with the master/detail approach and drop down menus.
The drop down lists are in an ADF table.
Thanks in advance
Andrew

Hi Kuba,
Thanks for the pointer, I think we tried that one early on. For the time being we have opted for using a selectInputText box, and that appears to be working. Well at least it has got us past the deadline for yesterday, now onto the next deadline.
Thanks again!
Andrew

JSF Newbie: help with forms & drop-downs

Hi,
I've managed to get a few simple things working with JSF using Netbeans & Visual Web pack. This is pretty sexy stuff for a grizzled old perl programmer. However, there are still a few things I'm having trouble getting through my thick head -- maybe some kind soul could point me in the right direction.
I would like to have a couple of cascading data-bound drop-downs: dd1 provides a selection list for dd2, and the combination of dd1 and dd2, when selected, provides enough data to populate a webuijsf:table.
The desired behaviour is that a change in dd1 repopulates the selection list for dd2 and furthermore, repopulates the table based on the selected value in dd1 plus the first value in the selection list of dd2. A change of selection in dd2 repopulates the table accordingly.
My prerender() for the page checks if dd1.getSelected == null, and if so, sets the cursor to the first row in the bound data provider. Furthermore, it primes the rowset for dd2 with some rows from dd2's data provider based on the values in the first row for dd1.
The first time through, everything is peachy: dd1 has the appropriate selection list, as does dd2. my webuijsf:table also has the appropriate rows (selected in the prerender()).
My problem seems to be that when a new value is selected in dd2, dd1.getSelected == null at the next prerender(). This, of course, re-primes dd2, wiping out its selection.
So, obviously, I don't really understand what I'm doing well enough to see how to do this. The visual web pack tutorials, where I started, really don't provide adequate explanation of what's going on, and the chapter on JSF in the J2EE tutorial is still a little abstract for me.
I would be forever indebted if somebody could please provide a pointer to a resource (preferably something a perl programmer can afford ;-) that could help me understand, in concrete terms, how a form, and the elements on the form (and their events), are processed.
Also, and as an aside, am I alone in thinking the whole Java thing is tremendously complex? I'm not talking about the Java language, which I find pretty intuitive, but the zillions of J* stuff around it, which seems somewhat dense. I really do want to learn this stuff, but it's pretty bewildering!
Thanks!
Regards,
Mike

Normally I would tell you to inject the PersonController bean into the PersonSelectionListener bean as a managed property. Then drill into the bean to get the data you need.
However, in this case you are dealing with a value change listener. Value change events are fired at the end of the Process Validations phase, before the Update Model Values phase. So in this case, the PersonController bean will not contain the selected person from the request. This is not a problem however, since the new value is passed via the ValueChangeEvent object.

How do i import excel data base into pdf form drop down field

Hi,
I have a table of about 2500 rows and three columns that i would like to import into a drop down window on a PDF form to be self populated when item selected rather than entering the data. How can this be done?
Thanks!
Richard

Hi,
I did not know only two entries for each option item is it. I have manually entered data in the drop down an list boxes. With 2500 lines of data I was hoping there was an easier way other than manually entering the data.
I have no knowledge of Java Scripting.....
I was just wondering if there was a way from an Excel spreadsheet to import that data into a PDF form to be selectable to populate PDF fields in a form. It doesn't sound like it.
Thanks......

Security Questions from a Select List or Drop down Service Provider Edition

Hello,
Can we fetch security questions from the drop down or a select list in Service Provider Edition. We have a requirement to select multiple security questions during registration.
Please advise.

HI
Welcome to the Forum...
You cannot put all the values in a single parameter field so you need to select each field for each parameter...

Adobe Forms - Drop Down list

Hello,
I have two drop down list(s) in my adobe form.
1) Employee Group
2) Employee Subgroup
Employee Subgroup drop down list is populated dynamically depending on Employee Group selected on form.
Now the issue is :
If the current value of EMp Grp = 01 and EMP sub grp = 07
Now if Emp Group is changed to 02, EMP subgroup drop down is again built in backend. So the EMP subgroup gets new set of values BUT with additional row (value = 07) of previus EP subgrp.
So the values are:
81
82
83
07 (This is old value which should not come)
How can i delete this value using script and in which event?
Regards,
Ashish Gupta

Hi Ashish,
On Change event of the EMPgrp Dropdown say DD1 for EMPSubgrp DD2 write the code:
if (DD2.rawValue ne null)
then
DD2.deleteItem(DD2.selectedIndex)
DD2.rawValue = ""
endif
And make sure this script runs before the new values in the DD2 are fetched.

Vaibhav

Portal Freezes when interactive form drop down is selected..

Hi Experts,
We are facing a strange problem with the drop downs in interactive form. We developed an interactive form with dynamic internal tables and Automatic dictionary search helps attached.
Before upgrading SAP SP 27 we were able to use it without any problem. Now whenever we select a drop down in the adobe form complete portal is freezing.
More suprising is this is working fine in Mozilla firefox and not in internet explorer 8.0.
Kindly let us know how to fix this.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Best Regards,
Phani.

Hi Raghavendra,
I tried with compatibility view. Still the portal is getting freezed.
Now adding to the surprise when we rebooted the portals adobe form is not getting freezed but the portal is getting freezed. i.e. I can enter data on adobe but can not navigate to any other links in portal. All of them are freezed.
Kindly let me know the solution.
Thanks,
Phani.

PDF form drop-down menu

Is it possible to have a drop down menu in a PDF form that when one of the options is selected automatically greys out and locks another section of the form?
Cheers

Set these values as the export values of each of the choices in the
dropdown and then you could simply use it in the built-in Product option
under the Calculate tab of the total field.

Offline form drop down scenario

Hi Gurus,
               What is the best way to populate the drop downs for the Countries and its relevant cities in the Offline form scenario . For eg, if the user select the UK i need to populate the cites of the UK.

Hi,
You can create two tables in the interface structure like this:
Country (0:n)
Cities (0:n)
    Country - City
You bind the country to a drop down box. After selecting a value, create some Java Script coding setting the values of the second drop down box (City box) like the following pattern:
loop over the cities
if Cities-Country == selected Country
     add the city to the city drop down box
Using a web service will not be the best way because the client has to have access to the service. Firewall settings may cause problems in this scenario.
Take care,
Thomas

Adobe Forms Drop Down

Hi,
I have a requiremnt in adobe forms where i need to add text with a drop down values Yes/No. I created a parameter 'FLAG' TYPE QISRSUI_ATTRIBUTE_PARAM in the interface and binded the value 'VISIBLE' in the layout. Just want to know the steps to display 'Yes' and 'No' text in the drop down list. we are on EHP3.
Thanks for you help!!
Regards,
Vind

If you know the values which need to appear in the dropdown and those values are always static then you can enter the values as an attribute of the dropdown. in the Adobe Designer, click on the 'Object' pallette and select the 'Binding' tab. Below the binding you can use 'Specify Item Values' to enter the key and text for the dropdown values.
Hope that helps.

Linking Drop Down Fields / Combo Boxes

I wonder if I could ask someone to please help with a problem I am having with linking lists and combo fields? I looked at the tutoral for this and its exactly what I want to do (
http://www.acrobatusers.com/tutorials/2 … _livecycle) but still cannot seem to get this to work.
I have a list of items in a drop down (see below) and when you select one of these (such as Bachelor of Arts (BA)) I want a range of options in another drop-down (Mode of Study, eg. full-time) to become available to choose and once one of these is chosen I then want a defined variable to appear in a text box. The only exception to this is where variable mode of study is selected, as I would like it to be possible to have the option to make a custom entry into the text box. I'd also like to add a line if there is more than one qualification just like in your example where an order line can be added.
I'm using livecycle designer ES on a windows platform.
Any help, would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Ken
Drop Down Variables 1 (Qualifcations) Examples (in total there are about 20 of these):
Certificate of Higher Education (Cert HE)
Diploma of Higher Education (Dip HE)
Foundation Degree in Arts (FdA)
Foundation Degree in Science (FdSc)
Bachelor of Arts (BA)
Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS)
Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) etc....
Drop Down Variables 2 (Mode of Study)
Full Time
Part Time
Full Time & Part Time
Distance Learning (Full Time)
Distance Learning (PartTime)
Distance Learning (FT & PT)
Variable Mode
Text Box Defined Variables (Duration of Programme) - so when you select the two variable you get the = option
Certificate of Higher Education (Cert HE) + Full Time = 1 Academic Year
Certificate of Higher Education (Cert HE) + Part Time = 2 Academic Years
Certificate of Higher Education (Cert HE) + Full Time + Part Time = 1AY FT / 2AY PT
Certificate of Higher Education (Cert HE) + Distance Learning (Full Time) = 1 Academic Year
Certificate of Higher Education (Cert HE) + Distance Learning (Part Time = 2 Academic Years etc.....

Hi Niall,
Thank you so much for getting back to me. The sample is exactly what I was trying to achieve! After looking at my data again I've just realised that the process for specifying data to be specified in the final textfield may be more comlex than I first thought, as the final field is always dependant on the exact qualification and exact mode selected so it will not always be the same. Is there a way possible to account for this somehow? I've played around with the script but cannot seem to find a solution. For instance:
Certificate of Higher Education (Cert HE) + Full Time = 1 Academic Year
Certificate of Higher Education (Cert HE) + Part Time = 2 Academic Years
Certificate of Higher Education (Cert HE) + Full Time + Part Time = 1AY FT / 2AY PT
Certificate of Higher Education (Cert HE) + Distance Learning (Full Time) = 1 Academic Year
Certificate of Higher Education (Cert HE) + Distance Learning (Part Time) = 2 Academic Years
Certificate of Higher Education (Cert HE) + Distance Learning (Full Time + Part Time) = 1AY FT / 2AY PT
Bachelor of Arts (BA) + Full Time = 3 Academic Years
Bachelor of Arts (BA) + Part Time = 6 Academic Years
Bachelor of Arts (BA) + Full Time + Part Time = 3AY FT / 6AY PT
Bachelor of Arts (BA) + Distance Learning (Full Time) = 3 Academic Years
Bachelor of Arts (BA) + Distance Learning (Part Time) = 6 Academic Years
Bachelor of Arts (BA) + Distance Learning (Full Time + Part Time) = 3AY FT / 6AY PT
Bachelor of Arts (BA) [Study Abroad/Placement] + Full Time = 4 Academic Years
Bachelor of Arts (BA) [Study Abroad/Placement] + Part Time = 6 Academic Years
Bachelor of Arts (BA) [Study Abroad/Placement] + Full Time + Part Time = 3AY FT / 6AY PT
Bachelor of Arts (BA) [Study Abroad/Placement] + Distance Learning (Full Time) = 3 Academic Years
Bachelor of Arts (BA) [Study Abroad/Placement] + Distance Learning (Part Time) = 6 Academic Years
Bachelor of Arts (BA) [Study Abroad/Placement] + Distance Learning (Full Time + Part Time) = 3AY FT / 6AY PT
Is it also possible to allow custom entries in the final textfield, for insatnce when you select variable mode? I've tried to alter this in the 'value tab' of the object to make it 'calculated - user can overide' but this produces an error message and then deletes the custom text I enter.
Thanks again for your help Niall, I really appreciate it!
Ken
