Hi Reena,

Could you provide details about your scenario ?

The SFP transaction is meant to create print forms. For interactive forms, where you can send data to backends, you must use WD Java or ABAP, ISR or Guided Procedures. I can give details depending on your scenario.

Hello Francois,

thanks for ur reply,

the scenario is, when a user clicks on a button on portal, an interactive form must pop-up, that form is then filled by user and then when he presses submit, then the data entered should be collected in a table,

can you suggest something??

plz advise,

Reena

Allright, this seems feasible in a Web Dynpro Java application which should embed an Interactive Form.

Lots of tutorials on how to do this are available here on SDN, on <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/interactiveforms">the Interactive Forms SDN homepage</a> (Tips on Developing SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe).

Yes that is indeed a very helpfull section.

I do wonder if the information about "Interactive Forms for ABAP" is still up to date.

For instance, there is only a sample and information to be found on "Interactive Forms for ABAP" about printforms and offline dynamic forms.

But isnt it also possible to make an online dynamic form in ABAP?

Doesnt "Interactive Forms for ABAP" have the same options and features as "Interactive Forms for JAVA"?

Isnt the only difference between "Interactive Forms for ABAP" and "Interactive Forms for JAVA" the programming language and the fact that JAVA has been there longer and also is a little bit more extensive?

Hi,

Online interactive forms are available with WD ABAP also.

For this, you can find useful screencams regarding WD ABAP on the eLearning section of SDN: SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe > Advanced > Adobe Interactive Forms with Web Dynpro for ABAP.

The forms itself have the same features; differences are at runtime and during application design. Start with the language you know better. (In my opinion, WD Java is more user-friendly compared to ABAP.)

Ok.

For me it doesnt really matter wich language in JAVA and ABAP, i have programmed in both languages for a short while both stacks are installed on the environment, so i am just gonna see wich one works the best for me.

But there is a lot more information to be found about a Webdynpro in JAVA then a Webdynpro in ABAP, because off this many starting developers will probabely choose for the JAVA solution. Or offcorse the programmers own background.

Thank you for the fast reply to bad i cant give you any points .

One final question for me.

SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe > Advanced > Adobe Interactive Forms with Web Dynpro for ABAP.

The eClasses in these sections are very helpfull. But is it perhaps possible to download all the tutorials projectdata (sourcecode, database data) so a user could execute the tutorial and perhaps go play with it?

Francois and Marc,

I am looking out for options but seems to be halted in half way. Basically i created interactive form and then i managed to embed in the webdynpro, but i am not able to find out a way where i can litrally capture data. also one more thing i want to bring to ur notice is that can i capture data just using interactive form, as in without embedding in webdynpro???

Hi Reena,

Welcome to Adobe Interactive forms groups.

Well,that's very much possible.

Define your own ISR Scenario and update your required table on click of Submit button.Here you dont require WD ABAP also. But I dont suggest this solution until unless there is a related approval process attached to the business process. It's usually used for Change Request of HR Master. I request you to send your requirement more clearly, so that based on it, I can suggest more clear solution.

Well to get to understand more on ISR/PCR...

Also you can get ISR Cookbook in Service market place.

Hope this helps.

Reena,

To answer your questions:

1. In the LiveCycle Designer integrated in the Developer Studio / ABAP Workbench, did you use the Tools > Import tool to import your form (this is what I understand when you say 'capture the data')

2. It's possible to input data with directly generated forms. But as those one didn't go through the ADS component, they didn't receive the credential enabling the Reader extensions. So, for instance, you won't be able to save data or to perform calls to external system.

Francois, Raja and Marc,

the requirement is still on very primitive basis, i need a form online that has two fields for input, once the user inputs it i need to catch the data that has been input and store it in R3.

what i have done,

created a webdynpro application.

defined teh context controller.

now wat i dont knw is

how to link data frm form to webdynpro?

do i need to define fields in webdynpro to fetch the data frm form?

thanks,

Reena.
