WebDynpro ABAP vs WebDynpro JAVA for Adobe forms--PCRs--MSS

Hi Experts,
This might be a generic question :
I am modifying PCRs (MSS 1.0,EP 7,ECC 6.0) and now I have come to a point where I need to decide if I have to use Webdynpro JAVA or Webdynpro ABAP for modifying Adobe interactive forms which come with MSS 1.0 out of the box from SAP.
What does SAP suggest??
What do you suggest??
Quick answers appreciated

Hi Aditi,
Thanx for your suggestion but let me just detail what Iam looking for;
I will have to develop a custom PCR for Hire/Rehire (no workflow -- weird right),
now if I develop Adobe forms for this, my question is how am I going to bind these forms to the scenario (QISRSCENARIO).
Whatever is entered in this form is not going through workflow but is going to be directly updated in the database when the manager says SUBMIT.
Usually the HR developer goes to the scenario and selects input by Adobe form and clicks generate, but now if I develop the form using Webdynpro JAVA how am I going to integrate the generated form to that particular scenario.
Sorry if Iam not clear enough, but I really need help in this regard.
Thank you

Webdynpro ABAP or Webdynpro Java?

Hello experts.
I want to learn to develop WebDynpro's
Do you which of the two tools do you recommend? webdynpro java or webdynpro abap.
Greetings

Hi Lupe ,
Although both technologies have same functionalities but even then they are not identical.
Following are some of the differences:
Language :- First difference is the programming language used as the names Webdynpro ABAP and Webdynpro JAVA reflect. In ABAP Webdynpro, along with ABAP coding, RFCu2019s are also supported via Service call. Unlike Webdynpro ABAP, we cannot do ABAP coding in Webdynpro JAVA. Instead RFCu2019s and Web services are created and used in it to serve this purpose. In addition to Web services and adaptive RFC, Java Beans is another model supported by Webdynpro JAVA.
Design Time Environment :- Webdynpro ABAP requires ABAP Workbench (SE80) while SAP Netweaver Developer Studio is necessary for designing Webdynpro JAVA applications. So, additional installation is required. This studio reduces the development effort and utilizes some visual tools for creating components which can be reused.
Storage :- Applications developed using Webdynpro ABAP are stored centrally in ABAP server whereas in case of Webdynpro JAVA, the code remains on the client machine that is developed using a tool called Netweaver Developer studio. So, due to the powerful version control system of Webdynpro ABAP, the load removes from the development machine which is not possible in case of Webdynpro JAVA.
Skills Required :- For Webdynpro ABAP, a developer should have knowledge of ABAP programming, Development tools, Database concepts, ABAP Objects. However, Webdynpro JAVA requires skill set comprising java programming, java development tools and object-oriented concept.
Performance:- Large scale applications that involve large number of web users canu2019t work well on ABAP server. So, for robust and scalable applications, Webdynpro JAVA is preferred because of powerful J2EE server as proved by Sun Microsystems. However, small-scale or applications involving small or medium users can go well with Webdynpro ABAP. Thus, performance varies depending on the number of web users and one can choose ABAP or JAVA accordingly.
So the decession is that its totaly based on your available skillsets and your scenario to be implemented.

Problem with Configuration of GP for Adobe Forms

Regular expression not working for adobe forms

Hi,
Iam using qtp for adobe forms and for some reason if i put in regular expression for apid value it doesn't recognise the object..there is nothing wrong with the regular expression as it is evaluated using regular expression evaluator in qtp 11.0....any ideas
I got all the addins and everything and when i used regular expression for the top window it works but for any other object it doesn't

Please try the code and see the problem. The regular expression is fine.
I can replace the string with these and got results like this:
import java.util.regex.Pattern;
public class HtmlFilter implements TextFilter {
 private static String strTagPattern = "<\\s?(.|\n)*?\\s?>";
 private static int patternMode = Pattern.MULTILINE | Pattern.CASE_INSENSITIVE | Pattern.UNICODE_CASE | Pattern.CANON_EQ;
 private static Pattern tagPattern = Pattern.compile(strTagPattern, patternMode);
 public String filter(String t) {
 if(t==null || t.length()==0) return "";
 String ret = null;
 return tagPattern.matcher(t).replaceAll("");
 public static void main(String[] args) {
 System.out.println(new HtmlFilter().filter(null));
 System.out.println(new HtmlFilter().filter(""));
 System.out.println(new HtmlFilter().filter("abc def"));
 System.out.println(new HtmlFilter().filter("我国石油供应安全系统影响"));
}The results are

Need to configure output type for adobe form

Hello All,
I need to configure output type for Adobe Form thru NACE. What would be print program and how do I call my form from that program? and, what would be the FORM routine for that form in NACE?
I'm little confused, Pls I need your help.
Thanks in advance,
Chandra

Hi,
Just before few weeks we did this task.
Say for example if you want to print PO details through ADOBE form instead of normal sapscript layout or standard MEDRUCK, you can follow the following steps.
1. Design the form in SFP tcode, by passing the necessary inputs through form interface.
2. Then use tcode tcode NACE and select EF as application and click output types button on the application tool bar. Select NEU output type and double click processing routines on left side.
3. Then, in the right side of the screen we can see the calling program and the form (may be sapscript or smartform) whatever used.
4. For form names we have two options in NACE tcode.
One is Form and the otherone is PDF/Smartform Form. If you are using adobe form give your form name under PDF/Smartform and also select PDF under the type option in the same screen.
This worked perfectly for us. But pass the required parameters to the form from the routine used in standard program.
If any queries please post it.

How to create a Webservice for Adobe Form(I need Coding)?

Hi,
I need coding for Webservice inorder to define the context structure for Adobe Form.
In AdobeForm:
1) I create a dataconnection and while creating it i need to give WSDL Url.
2) I have created it.
3) But iam not getting the Context structure in the Dataview.
For this wht coding i need to write in WSDL File?
Any Help is Highly aprreciated with Points.
Very urgent requirement?

Hi,
I'm not exactly sure what your problem is.
A description on how to call web services can be found in my blog:
/people/juergen.hauser2/blog/2008/02/25/using-web-services-with-sap-interactive-forms-by-adobe-overview-tips
If you are facing an issue with what is displayed in the data view for the WSDL data connection (i.e you are missing nodes) you could try to use Designer 8.0 instead since it cotains bug fixes in that area.

Juergen

How do I update Java for Adobe Flash CS3?

Hi,
When I ran Secunia Software Inspector today it told me that
the version of Java I have installed on my computer is out of date.
It tells me that it is finding 3 out-of-date files:
Once here:
C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_04\bin\java.exe
Twice here:
C:\Windows\System32\java.exe
and three times here:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS3\JVM\bin\java.exe
I updated Java via the Sun website and consequently the first
and second warnings disappeared when I reran the Software
Inspector.
The software inspector however is still finding an
out-of-date Java version here:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS3\JVM\bin\java.exe
Question is: How do I update Java for Adobe Flash CS3?
Is it adequate to copy the updated file "java.exe" from
"C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_04\bin\" to "C:\Program
Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS3\JVM\bin\" or do I need to do anything
else?
Any help will be much appreciated.

Hi
I have the same problem of you, and the same dont find a
solution. Me it's Kaspersky Anti Virus (AV) which find this
problem.
So (and I dont know if this solution is perfect), but I open
Flash CS3 with the Java update choiced and apparently Flash
fonctionnely well and Kaspersky dont find this
prob now. But I dont never use Java in Flash (or without that
I know that..), and same, I dont know at what Java is used in Flash
I think that "JRE v 1.6.0_04" and more recent Java version is
not good, because it's not quite the same Java application that in
Flash CS3, In Flash CS3 it's "J2RE" and
not "JRE".
The history of all Java versions (and this) is here (
http://java.sun.com/products/archive/)
(but in all this versions... seriousely it's a true shambles !)
If you want the last version for J2RE in this archives it's v
1.4.2.18 but the last version is J2RE 1.4.2.19 but dont again in
this archives
(search on Java site, maybe first page ? I dont remember
where I to find it...). But the problem... it's that this last
version (19) is always detected bad by my AV...
So I decide to use just the next version (v 1.5) and last
version in this series (in archives site) which is the "JDK/JRE -
5.0 v 5.0.16" but again named "Java 2 Platform
Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 Update 16" in this dowload next
archives page
http://java.sun.com/products/archive/j2se/5.0_16/index.html),
so well again named "Java 2" in this page (that which dont
the case for the equivalent same download page for Java 6...)
(Choice "JRE 5.0 Update 16" in this page)
For instal "JRE 5.0 Update 16":
1) Supp all files and folders in "JVM" (Java Virtual Machine)
folder in Flash CS3 (but dont supp this folder, empty now) and save
this contents in archive in you have
affraid.
2) dl "JRE 5.0 Update 16", directly in this page if you want:
(https://cds.sun.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/CDS-CDS_Developer-Site/en_US/-/USD/View ProductDetail-Start?ProductRef=jre-1.5.0_16-oth-JPR@CDS-CDS_Dev
eloper)
3) In install, choice "personal instal" (or +/- the same
terms) and choice the "JVM" folder of you Flash CS3
and AV dont detect this version same a bad file

Hi,
OK. Following instructions, I've uninstalled the old Flash Player and installed the right one, and videos are now playing. Thanks for pointing me to the other posts on this site. YouTube and other videos are now playing
Some of the videos still play jerkily (they don't stream evenly). A few stream evenly once they've been allowed to buffer fully. (I think I'm using these terrms correctly.) Is this solely caused by low bandwidth, or is there something—an adjustment of some kind—that I can do with Flash Player to have online videos stream evenly, even from the moment I start them?
As I mentioned, to bypass this uneven streaming while watching online, I download the videos and watch them usually using Quicktime Player 7.6.4. Still, they don't always play evenly, but for the most part do.
I've just tested bandwidth and I'm told:

Standard print program for Adobe Forms

Hi all -
Does anyone know if there was a standard print program delivered for the predelivered Adobe form F110_AVIS_INT? And if there is - what is it? Is there any document anywhere to determine predelivered print programs for Adobe forms?
Your help is much appreciated!
Thanks

Hi
In SAP you can check for the Print Programs in Tcode OB96
which gives assignment of programs to script layouts
see the links related to Adobe forms
look at the Adobe page here in SDN:

Configuration of Guided Procedures for Adobe Forms

Hi all,
we are about testing the Guided Procedures with Adobe Forms.
I found 3 documents here in SDN:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/b9ea34c2-0701-0010-e2a2-d8e9cd6d85dc

https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/06717aea-0c01-0010-b28f-e6494458788f
My problem now is the configuration and the understanding of the "Web Service Security" in the Visual Administrator.
In the mentioned guides above it is written to choose "SLD" for the URL and the following three values under "Synchronize with System Landscape":
System Name:
WS Name: {com.adobe/AdobeDocumentServices}{AdobeDocumentServicesAssembly.jar}
WS Port: {com.adobe/AdobeDocumentServices}{AdobeDocumentServicesAssembly.jar}ConfigPort_Document
Now my questions:
1. According to the guides it seems that the ADS must be installed on the same J2EE where the central SLD is running. Is that a must? I don´t hope so!
2. What do I have to take for ? The SID and machine of the SLD or of the J2EE where the ADS is installed (this would be my own Portal)?
3. My portal is of version Netweaver2004s SP10, my SLD ist of version 6.40 SP18.
Could this be a problem here?
Thanks,
Rossi
