SAP Adobe Interactive Form Tutorial. Part II. Tables in Adobe Form

In SAP Adobe Interactive Form Tutorial. Part I, we demonstrated the steps to create our basic form and the driver program. One of our readers requested the configuration steps for the driver program and Adobe form. In SAP Adobe Interactive Form Tutorial. Part II. Tables in Adobe Form, we will cover how to set up tables within the Adobe form and configure the driver program accordingly.

Question from our peruser: Might u at any point if it’s not too much trouble, make sense of where we will arrange the driver program and related adobe structure name, to set off in any exchange?
Reply: Go to t-code NACE==>Select any application. For instance : V3 ==> Proceed “Result type” button ==> Select any result type. For Instance : RD00 ==> Go ahead “Handling Schedules” ==> here we can arrange Medium/Program/Structure Routine/Structure/PDF-SmartForm Structure.

Under PDF-Smartform Structure, we can arrange the adobe structure.

In PP Module – we can arrange in OPK8 Exchange.

In the previous part of the SAP Adobe Interactive Form Tutorial. Part I, we explored how to display a variable. In real-world scenarios, it’s rare to have a requirement where only a single field needs to be displayed. Today, in “SAP Adobe Interactive Form Tutorial. Part II. Tables in Adobe Form,” we will learn how to create tables in Adobe Forms. Generally, there are two methods for creating tables in Adobe Forms.

1. Normal Table Method using Table Object
2. Create Table using Sub Forms in Adobe

Table Object Method:
Benefits:
It is basic and simple. At the point when we have not many fields which can squeeze into the single line in the design, we can utilize this
The originator realizes that you are working with tables. Creator permits choosing lines or segments, to resize a section at the same time.
We have a really look at box to rehash the table header on each page

Hindrances:
On the off chance that we deactivate the fields in the specific circumstance, it will be hard to utilize if necessary in the structure anyplace. For instance in Content manager ( to have some contingent printing and so on)
Challenging to deal with when we need to print the settled tables
Restriction when we need to print non-standard tables

SubForm Strategy:
What is Subform?
The subform is essential for the structure which is utilized for sorting out the various components like info fields, tables, messages present body pages and seldom ace pages.
At the end of the day, Subform is only a gathering of components. To bunch specific components on the design we can utilize subform and wrap them into it.

Benefits:
Utilizing subforms gives us greater adaptability while spreading out tables.
At the point when we need to print different columns of table, subform is more valuable
We can revise cells in subform (Print any place we need )
It is extremely helpful when we are printing settled tables in the structure.

There are no much impediments, in light of the fact that inside, tables are dealt with as subform structures. We can undoubtedly take a look at this on the off chance that we take a gander at the XML wellspring of the format in Planner.
In the event that we believe that the header should be rehashed in the event of page breaks we need to utilize “Flood Pioneers” (rather than the advantageous really take a look at box in the event that we are utilizing tables). We want to set them on the “Pagination” tab of the article range).

So contingent upon what we need to accomplish we could need to utilize subforms rather than a table. Yet, for standard tables, the suggestion is to straightforwardly utilize the table item. Follow the KIS procedure. Keep It Straightforward (KIS).

I’m certain in the event that you have not worked in Tables previously, the above benefits and weaknesses could have most certainly befuddled you. Sit back and relax. Disregard the above correlation. We will complete an involved with bit by bit guide and when you wrap up making the tables utilizing both the strategies referenced, the image would be clear.

In this instructional exercise, our point is to show Client Information from Client Expert Table KNA1 utilizing both the techniques. We should Adobe.

Building the Interface which would be common for both methods.

SAP Adobe Interactive Form Tutorial. Part I. First Adobe Form

Spice of this part: Many of us ABAPers may not realize that Adobe Forms can be tested independently in transaction SE37, much like Smart Forms. This tip might not be found in every SAP Adobe Interactive Form Tutorial. Part I. First Adobe Forms you come across.

So clasp your safety belts and prepare for this delightful excursion on SAP Adobe Structure with our experience Pilot, Slam Daruru.

Tutorial 1: Our First Adobe Form

Pre-requisites: Adobe life cycle designer in your system and it should be configured in the Sever as well.

Transaction code: SFP. In the previous article, we told a trick to remember this. Smart Form PDF. 

Enter the Point of interaction and Make (Point of interaction is required for Adobe structure).

Step by step SAP Adobe

What are the uses of Form Interface?

  1. In the structure interface, you determine the information that is traded with the application program (like tables, structures, workspaces).
  2. Under Worldwide Definitions, you characterize your own fields, factors and so on.
  3. The framework fields contain information with a predefined meaning (like the date).

Give the Depiction and Press on Save.

SAP Adobe Form Tutorial

Give the Bundle name and Save.

Getting started with Adobe Forms with a simple exercise

Really look at the Connection point properties. Examine the left side and the right half of the board. Check the Boundary Name which was created consequently.

Hands on SAP Adobe

Allow us to add our own custom Boundary Name. Select the Import choice under Structure Point of interaction (left side) and press the Make button (right side) to add a Bringing in Boundary IV_TEXT.

SAP Adobe Forms Online Training

For this instructional exercise, IV_TEXT is of type CHAR30 and actually look at the discretionary Banner.

Check, Save and Initiate the Structure Point of interaction.

6

Return or go to t-code SFP once more. This time we want to make the Structure.

Ideally, we don’t have to educate you again to Press on Make button.

SAP Adobe Form Tutorial

Give the Portrayal of the Structure and the Point of interaction name which we made before.

Step by step SAP Adobe

Enter the Bundle name and Save.

Adobe Forms

This is the main look of our Structure. Left side we have the Connection point and right side the Specific situation.

Getting started with Adobe Forms with a simple exercise

Extend the Import Boundary and Simplified the expected variable to Setting

11

What is the significance of the Context in Form Builder?

In the unique circumstance (otherwise called the structure setting), you determine which information is replicated from the connection point to the structure. You can likewise remember this information as a hub for a pecking order structure. In this pecking order, you can likewise conclude the structure rationale by determining conditions for handling the hubs.

The setting capability in Structure Developer is the connection that ties the point of interaction to the design. You develop the structure setting from the current connection point.

In the event that the above clarification is excessively unclear for you. Disregard it.

Essentially recollect Setting as information announcement at the Worldwide Region, might be very much like TOP Incorporate program.

To put it plainly, assuming you need your boundaries i.e inner tables, workspaces or variable and so forth to be passed from your driver program to Connect and afterward to the Structure then you want to characterize that interior table, workspaces or factors at the Setting of the Structure. Does it appear to be legit? Or on the other hand did I befuddle you more?

Anything characterized in Setting of the Structure is accessible in the Structure to be shown or controlled. Assuming you characterized a variable in the Structure Connection point yet didn’t make it in the Unique situation, then that Point of interaction variable could never be accessible in the Structure.

Basic simplified the boundaries from Connection point to the Structure Setting (as displayed in the figure underneath). All the limiting between Connection point boundaries and Structure setting would happen naturally.

On the off chance that you could do without alternate routes (simplified) or on the other hand assuming you need the setting boundary name to be not quite the same as that in Structure Connection point, then, at that point, you really want to determine the Information Field in the properties of the Setting component without help from anyone else. For instance, if you need to make a setting P_TEXT however you need to tie it with IV_TEXT, then, at that point, the Information Field ought to be IV_TEXT as displayed underneath.

Tip: Simplified from Connection point to the Unique circumstance and afterward change the name/portrayal of the Setting component. This will save your time and you don’t have to unequivocally keep up with the properties.

12

Allow us to actually look at the Format Tab.

13

Left side we have Progressive system, Tab Request, Information View and so on and Right side we have Plan, Mater and PDF Review choices.

14
15

Let us picked Information View and Simplified the Field which we need to print on the structure to Configuration view. You can put this recorded anyplace in the design. For our model, we have only one component IV_TEXT. The explanation being basic. We made only one component in the Unique circumstance. You can add several additional background information components and they would be accessible here to be passed to the design. In next posts, we will add greater intricacy to our necessity and you would have the option to perceive how we can deal with numerous components.

16

You can change the Inscription from IV_TEXT to required subtitle. For instance: Text. Click on the component and change the properties of the Article on the right hand side.

Check, Save and Initiate the Structure.

Stand Alone Testing of Adobe Form by using Interface:

To see yield for test reason even before your calling project or driver program is prepared, you can press F8 and again F8 and input a worth to the Connection point and really take a look at the result.

17
18

note: Ideally, at this point you have understood that like Smartform, Adobe structure additionally produces a capability module in the back end.

Execute (F8)

19

Press on Print review button. Check the info boundary is effectively passed from connection point to the design.

20

Like SAP Script and Smartform, Adobe Form also need a Driver Program. Forms have no utility if they are alone. They need a partner to be complete.  Let us take a look at the other side of the coin.

If you have worked in Smartform earlier, you would find no difference. We just need to pass the data to the Form using the Interface parameters. And debugging is also similar as Smartform.

SAP PO for Beginners Part – 20 – BPMN 2.0 in a Nutshell

This blog will show you BPMN 2.0 in a nutshell and guide you on how to design a business process model using the BPMN 2.0 graphical representation language.

To put it plainly, underneath is the substance we will be intricate in this instructional exercise:

  • What is BPMN?
  • Need for BPMN in SAP PO
  • Types of shapes in BPMN

1. What is BPMN ?

BPMN 2.0 in a Nutshell: BPMN stands for Business Process Model and Notation. It is a standard developed by the Object Management Group (OMG). The primary goal of BPMN is to provide graphical documentation that is understandable to all business users. Since it is based on flowchart principles, it is straightforward and easy to grasp. BPMN is widely used to standardize the language for describing business processes. It is easy to learn and can be utilized by both IT and business users. Although many symbols are available for various use cases, only a handful are commonly used to represent most processes.

At an undeniable level, BPMN assists partners with figuring out the interaction through a visual portrayal, since graph can make complex cycle more clear.

2. Need for BPMN in SAP PO?

In the event that you have perused the past post, you would realize BPM process. To lay out the BPM cycle in SAP NWDS device, we really want to plan the business cycle utilizing a language called BPMN. Variant of BPMN is 2.0. BPMN2.0. We have two sorts of PO establishment. One is Single Stack Java based and another is double stack ABAP + Java based. In double stack engineering, we also have BPM, however its ccBPM which isn’t similar to NW BPM. Likewise, the language used to make ccBPM process is BPEL (Business Interaction Execution Language) though for NW BPM, its BPMN2.0.

3. Types of shapes in BPMN: BPMN 2.0 in a Nutshell

BPMN is made of specific components or shapes that contains visual language. BPMN has 4 fundamental gatherings of shapes.

– Flow Objects -> Events / Activities / Gateways

– Connecting Objects -> Sequence / Message Flow / Association

– Swimlanes -> Pool / Lane

– Artifacts -> Data / Group / Annotation

1) Flow Objects – Events:

The primary sort of stream object is Occasion. Occasions trigger a beginning/change or finishes an interaction. There are 3 kinds of occasions:

Begin – Each cycle in a BPMN chart should start with starting occasion called Start occasion. Many beginning occasions contain a symbol in the center to characterize the occasions trigger. For e.g., a Beginning occasion that contains the envelope symbol in the center shows that the message shows up and triggers the beginning of a cycle.

Halfway – This component has two circles with some offset.

End – An End occasion implies the finish of a specific cycle or way inside an interaction. At the point when you see an end occasion, you can affirm that there could be no further cycle should be added or will be accessible after that. End occasions have a thick boundary.

Begin, Halfway and End Occasions can be additionally assigned into a few images. Recall your BPMN graph, regardless of the cycle, will essentially have one beginning occasion and one end occasion.

2) Flow Objects – Activities:

Exercises then again are the structure blocks of BPMN graph. They address a particular undertaking performed by an individual or framework and their shown by square shape with adjusted corners. In exercises, you can add symbols in the action to outwardly show significant traits like message send or get, client undertakings, manual errands and so on.

There are 4 main types of activities:

Task – An undertaking is a solitary activity in a cycle. Like Altering the receipt, mailing to business.

Subprocess – A Subprocess make out of different stream objects. Subprocess will come convenient assuming your BPMN graph is tremendous with many BPMN components and you don’t maintain that less significant cycle should mess the chart. In this way, its smarter to put it inside sub-process. A Sub-process has an Or more image in center which signifies that the sub-process holds youngster components inside itself.

Transaction – A transaction activity represents a payment process.

Call – A call movement calls and starts up another cycle and the parent interaction will go on just when the other cycle is done.

3) Flow Objects – Gateways:

The last kind of stream objects are Passages. Entryways are addressed by precious stone shape and goes about as a choice point that concludes the interaction way or stream in light of specific circumstances or occasions. For e.g., in light of the mail content, the door will send the mail body to the beneficiary.

There are a few sorts of doors with a precious stone shape, with various images inside to recognize the kind of Entryway.

A portion of the principal passages are: Selective, Occasion based, Equal, Comprehensive, Complex choice entryways.

Selective Passage – Jewel Shape with X imprint inside it. Additionally called as XOR entryway. In the underneath BPMN scrap, we have utilized elite passage, where client needs to pick which spiderman they like and in view of that choice, the restrictive entryway will decide and continues with the following assignment, which is Decision in favor of top picks. The contrast among selective and rest of the entryway is, in elite, all friendly arrangement streams are assessed, and any one activity should be picked.

Occasion Based Passage – Occasion based entryway is like Selective door, where just a single branch will be initiated, rest of the branches will get deactivated. In select entryway, a condition articulation is assessed, however in occasion based passage, the condition will be founded on occasions. For e.g., When a client makes a credit demand, it is important to request a few records. In the event that client doesn’t bring the archives till 2 days, we will contact the client mentioning for same nevertheless not gave, then end the cycle. Assuming records got, check it and interaction will end. Here, occasion based entryway will have 2 parts, where first split is hanging tight for 2 days for records and second split is getting reports.

Equal Passage – Precious stone with an or more sign inside it. In equal passage, all branches will get enacted. Like, on the off chance that we utilize equal door in above model, the two branches, trusting that 2 days for client will bring the endlessly archives got branch will get actuated parallelly. On the off chance that there is what is going on, where all split branches ought to be executed, favor equal entryway. Equal door is likewise called AND entryway.

For a legitimate model on equal passage is, purchasing staple things in general store.

In above general store model, till you purchase all referenced things (milk, bread rolls, food) the door will not execute the following stage of installment. It will stand by till all things are bought.

Comprehensive Door – Circle inside a jewel. Comprehensive Door is likewise called OR entryway. We should straight away go with the model.

In the above piece, comprehensive passage will pick something like 1 branch to get chosen or all branches. Like, assuming we purchase Marie gold bread roll, OR door will sit tight for the reaction of the other two branch status. On the off chance that Oreo branch is chosen, it will be added and same for good day. Until it gets reaction from all branches, the OR entryway will not get finished. It is generally a decent practice to have a default branch which would execute on the off chance that the bread rolls are not really purchased. For determining default branch, there will be change in bolt, with a strike toward the beginning of bolt.

4) Connecting Objects – Sequence Flow:

Exercises, doors, and curios don’t have a lot of significant worth all alone in the event that they can’t be associated with one another. This is the explanation we are utilizing Associating objects. We will utilize different association objects in view of the transmission. The first is Grouping.

Succession stream interfaces different stream articles like occasions, exercises and passages.

5) Connecting Objects – Message Flow:

A message stream is utilized to show the progression of messages between two members that are ready to send and get them. In BPMN, each pool addresses one member. Trade of data between members can be signified in Message stream connector.

6) Connecting Objects – Association:

An affiliation associates extra data, like a note, to individual components in the process model, for example, stream objects, Swimlanes, and information objects.

7) Swimlanes – Pools:

Swimlanes are only compartment to bunch the BPM processes. A swimlane addresses a utilitarian element or obligation simultaneously and can be demonstrated either upward or on a level plane contingent upon the direction of the whole BPD. Swimlanes will show us who are responsible for each interaction. In the event that you are having at least one donor, it will result in different swimlanes.

Pool swimlane addresses a cycle member and fills in as a holder for single interaction. Paths can be utilized to sort the division into numerous parts, as in client care administration pool we can have 2 paths, Programming frameworks and Programmed replying mail.

8) Artifacts – Data:

There are numerous data ancient rarities for Information Article. Fundamentally, all data antiquities address information, either information, result or assortment of information/yield. Assuming there are numerous records that is sent as an info, we use Information Assortment and same goes to Result.

You could feel a little uncertain on how this information object situated in BPMN graph. See the underneath piece.

This arrangement of information object doesn’t have an effect in the BPM cycle while executing. It is an extra data to the client that an information that is being utilized and yield record is produced. There are a lot more images like information store, where we can utilize it in the event that we are bringing the information from a data set.

9) Artifacts – Annotation:

Explanations are extra data gave to an undertaking or an action on what’s the errand reason. It is a greater amount of like giving remarks to exercises in BPMN graph.

There are two different ways we can give extra data, one is to explicit movement and another is to gathering of interaction.

In this way, we have finished the nuts and bolts on grasping the BPMN images. In next post, we will test the comprehension with different business experiments.
