Display Smartform Pdf output in Webdynpro application

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I want to display a smartform pdf output generated in SAP CRM using a Webdynpro application.

1. I have created a custom RFC to provide smartform pdf output in internal table(TLINE) format.

2. I have problems converting this data to pdf in Webdynpro.

Any sort of help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Anil

Hi Nagaraju

First lots of thanks for cliarifying the doubts. But the problem i s

Mycode in this regard is not working. I have still some doubts in this answer. Can you please give me your contact number or your AOL id or any chat id or any personal id please. It is very urgent to discuss with you.

Kindly give me these details.

Lookingforward to you

regards

jalandhar.

1)executeZquote_Writer_Input(); This will be related to Bapi he is going to call to execute a smartform.

2) just explain me this bit of code

String fileName = wdContext.currentZquote_Writer_InputElement().getOrder ().toString().trim() + System.currentTimeMillis() + ".pdf";

String pdfOutput = new String(wdContext.currentOutputElement().getBinfile());

if (pdfOutput != null)

He is getting the bin file from the context which is filled after Bapi call.

3) In this code where i have to mention the SMARTFORM name

In SAP systems whenever a smartform is created, a function module related to that smartform will be created automatically.

Executing a smartform means executing that function module.And that function module is not remote enabled.

Each function module generated will have different interfaces depending up on the parameters used in the smartform.

So a remote enabled Function module need to be written in which smartform related FM can be called.

Smartform name will be used in the RFM written by us.

You can pass that name to this RFM through interface or you can hard code it there.

4) Where u r mentioning the smartform name explain me

He is doing it in the RFM written by them.

So you cannot see that Web Dynpro code.

Hope this will be helpful.

Convert smartform output in to PDF using CONVERT_OTF function module and you can write pdf using parameter 'binfile' of this function in WebDynpro using the following code:

It is copied from my prg. I hope you understand it.

public void onActionGetQuote(com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDCustomEvent wdEvent )

{

//@@begin onActionGetQuote(ServerEvent)

wdThis.wdGetOppt_QwriterCustController().executeZquote_Writer_Input();

String fileName = wdContext.currentZquote_Writer_InputElement().getOrder().toString().trim() + System.currentTimeMillis() + ".pdf";

String pdfOutput = new String(wdContext.currentOutputElement().getBinfile());

if (pdfOutput != null)

{

try

{

String pdfResoucePath = WDURLGenerator.getResourcePath(wdComponentAPI.getDeployableObjectPart(), fileName);

FileOutputStream fileOutputStream = new FileOutputStream(new File(pdfResoucePath));

PrintStream ps = new PrintStream(fileOutputStream);

ps.print(pdfOutput);

ps.close();

//Display the PDF to the browser

String fileURL = WDURLGenerator.getAbsoluteWebResourceURL(wdComponentAPI.getDeployableObjectPart(), fileName);

IWDWindow window = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createExternalWindow(fileURL, "Pdf Browser", false);

window.removeWindowFeature(WDWindowFeature.ADDRESS_BAR);

window.removeWindowFeature(WDWindowFeature.MENU_BAR);

window.removeWindowFeature(WDWindowFeature.STATUS_BAR);

window.removeWindowFeature(WDWindowFeature.TOOL_BAR);

window.open();

// To collect all the file created in the server by user

quoteFiles.add(quoteFiles.size(), pdfResoucePath);

} catch (Exception e)

{

throw new WDRuntimeException(e);

}

}

//@@end

Hi Anil,

Thanks for the code. I am trying to do the samething. Displaying Smartform PDF in WebDynpro. I have some questions on your code here. Can you please tell me about the function module that brings PDF into model. Can you please tell me more about the Output parameters/table parameters and their types you used.

I think the statement String pdfOutput = new String(wdContext.currentOutputElement().getBinfile()); is the one that contains the PDF file. If so can you please tell me more about the binfile type in backend? Is it XSTRING?

Please help me with this.

thanks in advance.
