Smartforms error uploading

[MariusStoica]

Hi guys.

I'm trying to upload a smartforms form QAS system to DEV system and I get an error.

I tried a few things before:

In transaction SE73 -> Printer Fonts -> 'Show available fonts' , you can check what true type fonts are uploaded in a system. - done
RSTXDELL - done
you should ensure that you use the same device type to create the spool or PDF in both systems. - done

The error I get is:

Category               ABAP Programming Error

From my debugging I found out that when uploading the file, the class :CL_SSF_FB_NODE Method XML_UPLOAD doesn't detect the 3 pages that my form has. None of them.

Other things I tried:

1. I tried uploading different forms that work in both systems, I get the same error.

2. I have the same system packages.

3. I searched SNOTES regarding this, no result.

4. Tried deleting "Address" forms from the XML (read there where some issues with it)

Nothing helped.

I need help, it's urgent.

Marius

Are you trying to download/upload a Smartform or a SAPScript? Normally I'd just use upload download. The type is .XML.

[Jelena]

I do the same as Michelle mentioned in the comment and never had any issues... When does the error occur exactly? When you're trying to upload the form? That's just SAP standard and SAP Support would need to be contacted with any issues.

Not sure why you're doing this but if this form ever existed in DEV and just got messed up for any reason then you should be able to restore it by re-importing the previous (released) transport that contains the form. Be careful though if there are any other objects in the transport, will need to check their version history.

Hi Jelena,

The system was configured in such a way that the request goes directly to the other system. Only by forwarding the request from Q system to Dev system I could re import the request. Unfortunately not always the Developer has the access to STMS transactions, ergo "Export/Import" is the only way.

That being said, it was the only solution we could find at the moment and for that client.

That being said :))) on a different system of another client I get the same short dump with a different SMARTFORM. And I couldn't find the issue, the reason why I deg the short dump.

So you can't find any other solution but to put a SAP message ?

Regads,

Marius

If transport is not an option then yes, I'm afraid reaching to SAP Support is the only way here, sorry.

Hi Marius,

You wrote that you get the same dump with other forms also, so I suppose the xml file is correct. Could you please check your settings via Smartforms -> Utilities -> Settings. Did you changed here something : page format etc... With other user you get the same dump?

Best regards,

Hedvig
