Value help not working

Hi all,
I am trying to develop a small adobe interactive form application embedded in web dynpro java.
I am unable to make value help work. I have edited the
fieldname = "myFieldName"
javascript bit, but to no use.
I tried this: Adobe Interactive Forms - F4 help for fields but it doesn't work for me.
Saphelp suggests just the same.
Can this actually be achieved on Java or only abap?
Thanks regards
Vincenzo

Maybe you can use this:

or this:
Re: F4 Value help on adobe form doesn't work
or here:

or this:
Re: Problem with Input help inside an adobe interactive forms
Also note you need to have the value help placed in the same subform as the field you use it for.

Value Help Not Working and Values Not Showing in BPS0

I have custom characteristics transported from a BW 3.5 system to a NW2004s. I have maintained master data and activated master data. When I try to do the value help selection from inside maintain, I don't see the characteristic values. In BPS0 the values are not registering and the variables are failing cause they say there are no master data values. How to resolve?
Thanks,
Cherie

I also noted the anomaly only occurs with custom characteristics, transported from a 3.5 system to a NW 2004s system and have NO attributes assigned to the characteristic. Those custom ones that have attributes show up fine.

Home button in HTML Help Not Working

My Home button in HTML Help Not Working.
Also the Home option from the Options menu does not work. I receive the "This program cannot display the webpage" error.
I have the correct file name (titlepg.htm) in the Advanced Windows Ptoperties "Default" field and the "Home" field. However, I still receive the "This program cannot display the webpage" error.
How can I correct this situation? Thanks, your help is appreciated!

Can you post a couple of screen captures please?
One where you show the Project Explorer with the desired topic in view. Another where you show the dialog where you specify the Home page destination.
Another thing you may wish to try is to define a totally new window, assign the values there and ensure you point to the window in the Single Source Layout recipe.
Oh, and one other thing. Are you using RoboHelp HTML or RoboHelp for Word?
Cheers... Rick

Value mapping not working properly

Hi All,
I am using value mapping twice in same mapping program. But only 1 field is coming with value and other is taking same value from source payload, can you please tell me what can be issue here?
Value mapping 1 -
Context - http://sap.com/xi/XI
SenderParty- SenderSchema
ReceiverParty- ReceiverSchema
Value Mapping table in ID -
Value mapping at field 2 -
Context - http://sap.com/xi/XI
SenderParty1- SenderSchema1
ReceiverParty2- ReceiverSchema2
Value Mapping table in ID -
Source payload -
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:MT_VM_Send xmlns:ns0="http://xyz.com/Rashmi_CollectPatternDemo">
   <Record>
      <Emp_ID>123</Emp_ID>
      <Name>rash</Name>
      <Surname>sumit</Surname>
      <Gender>Male</Gender>
     <Grade>E2</Grade>
</Record>
</ns0:MT_VM_Send>
Target Payload -
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:MT_VM_Receiver xmlns:ns0="http://xyz.com/Rashmi_CollectPatternDemo">
<Record>
<Emp_ID>123</Emp_ID>
<Full_Name>rash sumit</Full_Name>
<Designation>E2</Designation>
<Gender>M</Gender>
<Travel_Mode>Train</Travel_Mode>
</Record>
</ns0:MT_VM_Receiver>
Here travel_mode is coming perfect, but designation is same as defined in source payload. Why here Value mapping not working???
Thanks & regards,
Rashmi Joshi

Hi Rashmi,
The problem would either be in cache update or your mapping. Please provide the sceenshot of mapping (after clicking the value mapping function).
you can also choose the option to throw error in value mapping function, so it will throw error when value not found.

F4 help not working in custom backend service for PD form

Dear All,
Iam working with the Create position HCM PD form and i have a requirement to add two fields, one for the company code and the other is for the cost center and then create the relationship betwee the position and the cost center when the form is submitted.
I have defined a generic service and created an enhancement implementation and linked this generic service to the imppementaion. I have written the logic for the F4 help for the fields in the method GET_HELP_VALUES, i have written the scripting for the drop down field in the form to trigger the F4 help in the form.
When the cost center is being passed to the screen, i would then read the value of the cost center in the form workflow and create the relationship between S and K in the workflow as i am unable to achiev this in the design time of the PD form.
But my current problem in that he values are not getting passed from the method to the field on the screen. I have worked on quite a few scenarios for F4 help and doing validations in the implementation in the PA form and i have seen this functionality working fine.
My problem here is that i am unable to understand why the F4 value help is not working in my form. The standard PD service SAP_PD is also being used in the form to have the dropdown values for the account assignment feature.
Could you please suggest me with some clues to fix my issue? i can share more details for further analysis.
Thanks.
Best regards,
Sridharan

Hi Chris,
Thanks for your inputs. please see my reply to your questions
First....are you sure you have "marked" that field as possible for F4 help?
Reply: Yes
Second...are you populating the help values strictly from that method...ie. not also using do_operations method to do it. If you refer to the documenation, it points out that trying to use both can cause issues.
Reply: i am using only the GET_HELP_VALUES method and nothing written in do_operations.
Third...when you debug your method, do you "see" the help values actually populating and as you say "not coming back to the screen"? I would check this first to make sure that there are actually values being found (ie. the logic within your service is correct).
Reply: i have put the external break-point in this method and when the form in opened for processing by the HR admininstrator,the form openes up and the control is not being sent to the debugger. I have written the scripting in the exit event of the events and scripts as suggested in the SAP help document. SO when i click on the dropdown field in the form, the debugger starts and executes the method and the code executes, then no values are populated on the screen.
Fourth...are you using any generic services for populating help values as well. HCM P&F has a nasty habit of "if one GS fails, they all fail" so often, your service might work fine but an error in another makes yours appear to fail as well....hard to debug and find those kind.
Reply: Yes i am using the generic service mainly for the purpose of F4 help. I do not see any issue with other gneric services as i have implemented a few generic services for PA forms and they are working fine.
Fifth...oops...forgot the obvious one...make sure it isn't a security issue...ie. make sure you have access to read the cost centers you want.
Reply: I dont get any auth error in SU53 while i test the process in R3
Lastly, you said:
"When the cost center is being passed to the screen, i would then read the value of the cost center in the form workflow and create the relationship between S and K in the workflow as i am unable to achiev this in the design time of the PD form."
You actually should be able to do this using an Advanced/Enhanced Generic Service (if this is in fact the step at which you want a true update to occur). Just a thought.
Reply: Could you please give some more information about this, how can i achieve it in advanced generic service.
Appreciate more thougts from you Chris!
Thanks,
Sridharan

F4 help not working properly in portal

Dear All
After applying patch in ECC system the F4 help is not working properlyin Portal. usually a drop down appears and with few key strokes users were able to move to the appropriate value.
Its working perfectly well in the backend but in portal its not moving appropriatly in the drop down.
What settings is required in the Portal side.
Thanks,
Sasha

Hi Ryan
In Portal we are using WebGui.
As u said it seems the problem is not related to Portal.
Actually we were having problem with extra tab in the screen but by applying a note that problem is solved. We are using a bar code reader for inputting data. But still the dropdown have problem like we cant select the country by using the keys initially.
Regards,
Sasha.

Cost assignment search help not working

Hi,
I have looked in to the SD thread already, but none of the notes seems to be of interest as we are on support package of the notes!.
Here is the problem, when trying to select cost assigment values, cost center and GL account search helps/f4 functionality is not working.
Can u pls tell me which all settings inside the system I should be looking into, also any possible notes ?, we are on SRM4.0, pack 13.

The reply can be more professional. People here are not hunting for points. They are here to help struggling people to solve their problems. The points are in no way a match for the time and the valuable answers they suggest. There should be more courteousness in thanking. Points are just the least way to thank. But some questioners take it as if they are paying something and doing a great return. Anyway great to hear that your problem got solved!

I do not know what your native is, but there's quite a huge difference between "custom" and "customer". Look it up in your dictionary.

Value help not displayed on some workstations

Hello everybody!
Our WebDynpro application (migrated to NW 7.3 some months ago) implements some value helps (evs) on input fields by modifying the context attributes SimpleValueSet. This functionality has been working without any problems for some years. But now the value selectors show up as usual on some workstations, but on some workstations the value selectors are no longer shown and the input field validation does no longer work which leads to some nasty errors in our application. On first sight, there does not seem to be any difference in the used browser (IE 9 or Chrome 35) or operating system.
Did anyone come across this problem ? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Michael

O.k., for some reason this problem disappeared although we changed nothing... So I'll repost if it occurs again.
Thanks
Michael

Software update and iLife help not working in Admin account

For the last few weeks (maybe since iLife 11 was installed) software update and iLife help has quit working on the single administration account on my iMac. All works fine on the secondary accounts.
If I try to use software update it says everything is up to date, even though I know there are updates available that can be seen if checking from a different account on the machine. In iLife, if I try to access the help files it tells me I need to download them. I click to download and after a few seconds it takes me back to the front help page and I then go through the entire process again but the help download never happens. On secondary accounts the help files work no problem.
I've tried many of the tips for deleting helpfile plists, but nothing seems to work for me.
Can any kind person list for me everything I should look to delete or move in the account to get these things working again?
It would be much appreciated!

Since the issue is specific to your original user account, you can proceed in two ways. One is to log into your new account, make a list of the preference files (plists) located in /username/Library/Preferences/, including any in the ByHost subfolder, log back into the original account, move everything on that other account's list from the original account's Preferences folder into a newly created folder on the Desktop, log out and back in, and see if the problem goes away. If so, you can copy the ones in the Desktop folder (one at time) back into /Preferences/, restart, and see if the problem returns. If so, you've identified the corrupt/conflicting one. Continue with all of them until isolating the bad ones. That'll save you the trouble of resetting preferences.
The second way is much more detailed and I'll not burden you with the steps unless the above doesn't fix the issue.

Search function in Help not working in any application

The Search function is not working in any application's Help. Upon entering the terms I need help for I get a hang at "Searching..." but never any result. This problem started sometime in the last year or so. Prior to that the search function in Help worked fine. My network connectivity is excellent.
I recently reinstalled OS X 10.5 but I'm sure the problem existed before that and persisted after the reinstall.
The reinstall was due to upgrading to 10.7 and only then finding that I had lost needed functionality, but I don't think this has anything to do with the current problem. All other aspects of Help seem to be working fine
I don't find any reference to this problem anywhere so I'm hoping someone can help with my Help(!) problem. Thanks in advance.

Try running your Leopard install disk again, as well as the 10.5.8 combo updater. This might reinstall any 'missing bits'.
You can do this without deleting the hard drive, just install straight over your existing system, but close all applications and external devices first.
Or you could also do this via an Archive and Instal:
How to Archive & Install:

and this also:

This document explains how to correctly reinstall a prior version of Mac OS X in the event that other troubleshooting does not resolve an issue:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25404
BUT: Don't install older versions of Mac OS than what came with your computer:
