ADS services are configured in Portal or not ??

Hello Markus,
let's say I have two systems. One - X - installed J2EE+ABAP and configured WD pdfobject WS proxy to point to second system - Y - with correctly configured ADS (inculding Redaer Rights Credential). Do I have to setup this Reader Rights Credentila also on system X ?? Do I have to setup something else on system X to work with Interactive forms in WD Java on system X ?
PS: Our ABAP calls from X to ADS on Y are working okay, but I didn't try WD ABAP as basis is too low.
Thanx, Richard.

Web Dynpro & Adobe Forms: Context Mapping

Hi Experts,
By assigning a form to a view via templateSource the option to automatically generate context. With sample data, implemented in the view its working fine.
Now I want to use data out of the component controllers' context, but I can't map the views context nodes to the component controller nodes without deleting the context structure out of the form.
In other words; how can I connect the automatically generated context from the form with the context of the component controller?
How can I solve this issue?
An option is to read out the component controllers context into itabs and save them in the views context.......
not very nice, but my only idea right now.
Does anyone has an idea?
Thanks in advance,
Tan

Hi again,
I've found this [documentation|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/63a47dd9-0b01-0010-3d8e-de27242bf011?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true], chapter "Integrating a PDF in a Web Dynpro Application" (Page 192-193) and followed the print scenario.
My intention is not to create an interactive form. I just want to display a generated pdf which is provided with data out of web dynpro context.
That's what I did:
In my views' layout tab in properties list I've entered a (not existing) form name (as templateSource) to create a new form. Then double cklicked on it to create it, entered a interface name (which was not existing also) and selected a context (the context was mapped before out of the component controller). Then se80 switched to form builder. The context nodes are available so I dragged some into the form, save & activate.
The result is, the dragged fields are visible, but there are no values assigned, the corresponding fields are empty.
I checked whether the context nodes are filled --> they are....
Any idea what's going wrong?

Web dynpro + adobe form decimal field round off

hello all,
I am now developing an application which is based on the SAP WebDynpro and Adobe form, but the application has an error, if one can help me to resolve the error, I will be very thankful.
The error is as follows, for a decimal filed on the Adobe form which is binded to a deicmal attribute of Webdynpro, if I get the value of the decimal field using the programming code as "context.nodexx.getAttribute("xx")", the decimal value is rounded off (e.g., 2.4 is changed to 2.0, 2.7 is changed to 3.0).
for example:In Web Dynpro, A node name is "TestNode" which has a type of decimalattribute named "TestAttr" , in adobe form a decimal field bind to the TestAttr . when i input 2.3 in adobe form, i click the button with code:
this.wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager.reportSuccess(this.wdContext.nodeTestNode.getTestAttr()+"");
the rusult is : 2.0
if i input the value 2.5 the result will be 3.0
Thanks All !

Hi,
there is a special display pattern to check for null values:
null{pattern}
Example:
null{'please enter a value'}
But I don't know if WDJ is really sending a null value. You can combine this with alternatives using '|' to separate alternatives.

BSP - Web Dynpro - Interactive Forms by Adobe - Flex

Hi,
I am a student SAP from Belgium.
I am currenty developping an application and I am using BSP's, Web Dynpro's, Interactive Forms and Flex.
I have a good idea regarding to what the possibilities are of each User Interface, but I would like your opinions:
What are the main advantages/disadvantages of each of the named User Interfaces?
So what's good/not good about BSP, Web Dynpro, Interactive Forms, Flex?
What's the easiest to code, to make a layout,....
I know, according to the sitiuation, you can choose which UI to use, but I would really like to know what your opinions are about coding, easy-to-use, speed, logic,... (PRO/CONTRA'S)
Thanks a lot for your input, it would really help me!
Greetings,

Hi Mahamed,
I got your problem. You have not done anything wrong.
It is WebAS version which is not supported for this functionality.
But there is solution to this problem
Please refer to the SAP Note number - 1055738.
I think you will get the answer and the scenario described there will match your requirement.
This is a know issues with WebDypro ABAP but this works fine for Java Web Dynpro.
I have also tried for 2 months but finally came to know about it.

Satya

Web Dynpro application does not apply portal theme

Hi Guys,
We created a new portal theme and assigned it to our users. The portal desktop gets assigned succesfully and portal applications also show the new theme colors. But all web dynpro pages still show in the blue SAP theme. This issue only occurs on our development portal, when we import the same theme on our test portal is all works fine.
I also tried to assign the WebDynpro parameters "sap.useWebDynproStyleSheet" and "sap.theme.default" and then the web dynpro applications are indeed forced into the portal theme. However, that is no soluition since all web dynpro applications then use the theme including SAP applications like the NetWeaver Administrator.
We looked at OSS note '1446099 - Web Dynpro application not displayed
in customer theme' but the stylesheets are not different.
sap portal sytlesheet: UR=7.31.0.14.1
Web Dynpro Style sheet: UR Version=7.31.0.14.0
The portals in which the theme does work have the same stylesheet versions as mentioned above.
We also created an OSS message for this so if we solve it that way I will update this message. But if there is anyone on this forum that might have an idea that it would be highly appreciated. If the problem takes too long to solve we will perform a refresh from a portal that works but I hope that we will be able to find the reason of this behavior.
Kind Regards,
Nico van der Linden...

In theory, these versions should work correctly.
You can compare the patch levels applied on your dev portal and test portal - specifically compare the version/patch for the component EPPSERV*.SCA - and see if you have any differences there.
Thanks,
Shanti

Blank adobe form displayed in web dynpro application

Hi,
I have created an Interactive Adobe form using web dynpro Java. When I run the form (in IE), a blank page is displayed.
If I keep the Adobe reader open and run the form on IE, the form is opened in reader and it's working.
When I access the same form on a different system, there is no problem.
Does this have anything to do with the IE settings or Adobe Reader version/ updates.
I have checked the adobe reader version and it's the same on both the systems.
Version:
Adobe Reader Version : 8.1.2.
Adobe Designer 7.1
SAP NW 2004s - SP 15
Thank you,
Vasu

Not sure what the problem could be, here are some suggessionsu2026
Check whether you have enabled the option Display PDF in browser in the Adobe Reader.
I should be under: Edit > Preference > Internet
Also, in your Web Dynpro Application, try to set the u201CdisplayTypeu201D property of your Interactive form to ActiveX
Else, just try upgrading your Adobe Reader to latest version!
Hope this helps,
Harman

Web Dynpro & Adobe Interactive Forms - how to update the context node

Hi Experts,
I got a WD Component with some context nodes that are mapped to some views and are filled in this views. These context nodes are the dataSource for the Interactive Forms. These forms are embedded in a view by UIElement Interactive Forms.
My problem is, everytime when I change the structure of the context nodes (i.e. there's an additional attribute necessary), I have to design new forms to get the context nodes linked to the form. My existing forms cannot handle updated context nodes.
The change in the context node is displayed on web dynpro side, in the dataSource view in UIElement property. But in TA sfp there is the old context node structure displayed without any change (i.e. in number of attributes).
My forms' layout type is ZCI Layout the interface is based on XML.
How can I easily update the forms' context node structure without creating new forms every time?
Thanks in advance,
Tan

ok, got it.
by double clicking on templateSource in UIElement properties the interface can be updated.

Non-interactive adobe form display

Hi all,
I'd like to call an adobe form via WDJ to a non-SAP portal. I believe I need to do the following:
-create web dynpro application and define context.
-create form.
-create webdynpro controller to enable display form.
Excuse the basic nature of question; I'm a HR consultant. If anyone could clarify or confirm my understanding, it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Pre-requisited to work with Adobe Forms:
-Check Adobe Live cycle designer is installed in your system.
-Check whether ADS(Adobe Document Services) is configured properly and running on the SAP WebAs j2ee engine.
- Acrobat Reader to view the Form.
-Create a Webdynpro Project or Development Component.
-Insert Interactive Form UI element in View.
-Create Context Node of Cardinality 1..1, and below it create nodes and attributes to be      used in Adobe Form
-Create Context Attribute under the root context node of type binary.
Example Context Design
Context
   DataSource(1..1)
    Student(1..1)
      Name(Type:String)
      Age(Type:Int)
PdfSrc(Type:binary)
-Bind the Datasource node to the Datasource property of Interactive Form UI element.
-Select the Display Type property as Native
                   ActiveX - can be rendered only if ActiveX Component Framework is installed in the client
                   Native - can be rendered if ZCI(Zero Client Installation) is installed in the server side
-Bind pdfsrc attribute to pdfsource property of interactive form UI element.
-Set Height and Width property for the form.
-In Outline Window right click the interactive form UI element and select Edit
Adobe Live cycle designer opens and Form layout can be designed.
Build and Deploy the Application to view the Adobe form.

Bala Baskaran.S

Pdf output of web dynpro does not display in cProjects

Hi,
We created a custom web dynpro which calls a smartform and gives a pdf output. This pdf output is seen on the cProjects portal under a customized tab.
The issue is, some users are able to see this pdf output on teh portal without any issues but others cannot view it in their system.
When the first time the users try to view this they get a prompt for downloading activex from adobe ag and on accepting this they are able to view the pdf. This prompt does not come up for other users and hence they are not able to view the pdf output of the web dynpro.
I checked the activex control settings in the IE options and they are all enabled. Still I do not get this pop up prompting for activex download.
Are there any settings in the internet explorer or the system which have to be done to view the pdf on the portal?
Any thougths on this will be extremely helpful.
Thanks,
SImmi

Integration of Adobe forms in Enterprise Portal

<i>Manager Self Service:</i>
Say suppose i want to integrate "Change Personnel Area and Sub Area" into Portal:
I can deploy the MSS Business Package in Portal & with the appropriate iviews installed i can access "Change Personnel Area and Sub Area" in Portal.
The above thing works without any issues.
I have ads configured, acf & adobe lifecycle designer installed -- config tests are successfull for some sample webdynpro applications.
<i>
NEW Requirement:</i>
Users want to see the same "Change Personnel Area and Sub Area (ISR_FORM_SPPA, ISR_IF_SPPA) " in Portal as adobe interactive forms.
Can you tell me where i have to start to accomplish the above task?
Any insight on the below stuff would be higly appreciated and rewarded.
1)?backend tcode sfp?
2)?web dynpro java?
3)?business package Enterprise Portals?
Thanks in Advance,
RK.

you can edit anything you like to .
If you want to modify any ESS / MSS Application, you need to have the source code of these XSS DC's as well in your Design Time, else it will give you build errors.
For this you need to have a JDI setup since the MSS and XSS are provided in two different tracks of DTR.
As far as I know because of the used dependency of ESS/MSS Applications, using JDI is the best (and only) option to modify the ESS/MSS WebDynpro Applications.
And then implementing the JDI, helps in version management .The only way to unpack ESS/MSS / PCUI_GP components properly for development is through NWDI. So NWDI is mandatory.
For further information please go through the link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/b0/ee3441d95dd92be10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
Since you are interested in adding the adobe forms you need to have adobe server setup and then you can modify the existing webdynpro application to point to adobe forms.
In SDN tutorials tehre is a link for adobe applications, which you can try on your own. This has been asked many times in the forums and you will get the details with a simple search.
Hope this helps!

Zebra printing in web dynpro/Adobe

Hello,
We have zebra label print designs in place (we dont want to design using adobe designer). Now we would like to enable subcontractors to print them online using web dynpro/Portal.
1. one way I identified is send the zebra spool as a file and save it in the local disks and print it using zebra printer.
Whats the better and efficient way to approach? How everybody is doing this?. Doesnt SAP have any solutions?.
Thanks ,
Raj.

SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe comes with ABAP backend print support for Zebra label printers.
However, as with all backend printing the required output formats are placed in the spool. To my knowledge, there is no standard SAP way to make these spool-based formats available for print in a Web Dynpro application. In addition, note that in the ABAP backend SAP doesn't print from the PDF, which for these processes has only got a preview function. Depending on the scenario, printing is done from PS, PCL or ZPL through the corresponding SAP device types.
