Edit form offline (no SAP system): Get XML Schema from any form/interface

Hi,

Here's what I'd like to do: I would like to start a form in LiveCycle Designer in SAP environment, download it to file, work offline (no access to SAP system) and upload the form in SAP later.

With XML Schema based interface and form I can do:

1) Take Source of XML Schema-based interface to get XSD

2) Copy (CTRL + C) XML source from form designer to get XDP

3) Start Layout Designer on my PC locally, with File -> New Data Connection load XSD (data source definition) and then paste (CTRL + V) the XDP.

Then I can edit the form and reverse the process to load it in SAP. This works fine.

But how do I do it with ABAP Dictionary-based interface?

I don't know how to get XML Schema. I found that I should open Data View palette menu in form layout, choose Connection Properties -> Next -> Embeded XML Schema -> Finish. However, the Connection Properties entry is always disabled (grey). How can I enable it, or is there some other way to get XML Schema of a form (interface)?

Thanks!

KR,

Igor

Hi ,

GoTo your form Layout and Specify the TCodes FB_XSD_DOWN for down load the XSD file and

Specify the Tcode FB_XDP_DOWN for Download for XDP file of the form.

Usage:

1. Goto SFP and specify your form name and say Display or Change.

2. then use the Tcodes FB_XSD_DOWN and FB_XDP_DOWN,it will ask the file path specify and save it.

after that you can open them in your local pc Designer and modify.

later you can upload it into SAP.

Thanks.

Hi, UmaS,

If I only open XDP file with LiveCycle Designer, I get layout hierarchy correct, but no data (context). When I try File -> New Data Connection to upload schema, the XML Schema option is disabled (grey).

On the other hand, if I create the new file first from the scratch and then do File -> New Data Connection with XSD, I get correct data context, but if I copy-paste the entire XDP, it removes data context completely.

I do a workaround then, by copy-pasting only <template>...</template> portion of XDP into the newly created file with correct XSD, replacing existing <template>...</template>. It seems like it's working, but is this the right way, or is there something better?

Thanks!
