<u><i><b>Adobe Forms in Portal</b></i></u>

<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.

Hi RK,

We had a similar requirement and we used Web Dynpro for Java which contained the Interactive Form that would display the personnel area, personnel sub area, etc.

We developed a custom application in WD Java which would accept entries from the user on each screen after clicking on the Change Personnel area link in the portal. The user would put in the values and when the user would click on the Submit button, an adobe form would be displyed which would show the existing values as well as the values the user newly entered.

Hope this helps. Do let me know if you need any further inputs.

Thanks Melwyn.

1) So in your custom appplication:

Did you reuse any standard forms like "Change Personnel Area: ISR_FORM_SPPA"?? OR did you recreate all the forms from Scratch??

2) Did you make a copy of the already existing java webdynpro code for "Change Personnel Area" and enhanced it to suit your requirements?

Thanks in Advance,

RK.

Hi RK,

1) We created all the forms from Scratch to include the fields in the adobe form.

2) Also the code that we developed in Web Dynpro for Java was totally customised as the same code had to support other scenarios as well like Create a New position, Modify an Occupied/ Unoccupied position, etc. we did not use any existing code.
