Issue in displaying the smartform from Webdynpro screen

[Former Member]

Hello experts,

I am calling a smartform on some action event method in an webdynpro abap screen.

PDF is getting generated and being displayed when I test the component using the web dynpro application with user having developer role.

But the actual issue being faced is - while I am clicking on the same button of the screen in portal (different user- only having portal authorizations) the pdf is not getting generated.

Please guide me.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Hi,

Do you mean that when testing the WD-ABAP application directly you are able to check the PDF popup, but when you access the same WD-ABAP application from the iview in the portal, the PDF popup is not coming ?

Please confirm.

Exactly Ashish.

@Harsha - I've already maintained the printer as 'LP01' in SU01- defaults tab

No Harsha. Above is the sample code I am using.

Hi,

Front-end printing is not possible with Local printer from portal. Check this SAP Note for resolution: SAP Note - 1753723

hope this helps,

Hi Kiran,

Gone through the note.

In my code -

call function lv_fm_name

    exporting

      control_parameters          = lv_control_parameters

     output_options              = lv_output_options

     user_settings               = 'X'

     wa_benificiary              = wa_benificiary

    importing

     job_output_info             = t_ssfcrescl

exceptions

   formatting_error           = 1

   internal_error             = 2

   send_error                 = 3

   user_canceled              = 4

   others                     = 5

I am not getting any data t_ssfcrescl  in this. Might be some issue with control parameters or output options.

Regards,

Ramana.

The fact that the "t_ssfcrescl"  is not returning anything means that the smartform is not called.

Please try this.

   * Output Options
  if iv_print ne 'X'. "In case of only preview popup".
    clear ls_output.
    ls_output-tdnoprev = 'X'.
    ls_output-tdprinter = 'PDF1'.
    lv_tick = '√'.
    ls_cparam-getotf = 'X'.
  else.
    ls_output-tddest =   'FINQ'.
    ls_output-tdimmed = 'X'.
    ls_output-tdnewid = 'X'.
    ls_cparam-device = 'PRINTER'.
  endif.

* Get the FM name to call the smartform.

    call function 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'
    exporting
      formname           = lv_fm_sform " your smartform name"
*     VARIANT            = ' '
*     DIRECT_CALL        = ' '
    importing
      fm_name            = lv_fmmodule
    exceptions
      no_form            = 1
      no_function_module = 2
      others             = 3.

* Call the smartform FM name.

   call function lv_fmmodule
    exporting
      control_parameters   = ls_cparam
      output_options       = ls_output
      user_settings        = 'X'
    importing
      job_output_info      = ls_otf_from_fm
    exceptions
      formatting_error     = 1
      internal_error       = 2
      send_error           = 3
      user_canceled        = 4
      others               = 5.

* Convert to PDF format in case of preview.

  lt_otf[] = ls_otf_from_fm-otfdata.

  clear:lv_bin_filesize,lv_bin_file.

    call function 'CONVERT_OTF'
    exporting
      format                = 'PDF'
    importing
      bin_filesize          = lv_bin_filesize
      bin_file              = lv_bin_file
    tables
      otf                   = lt_otf
      lines                 = lt_pdf_tab
    exceptions
      err_max_linewidth     = 1
      err_format            = 2
      err_conv_not_possible = 3
      err_bad_otf           = 4
      others                = 5.

Now what ever is returned from lv_bin_file is to be binded back to the context attribute of type xstring, and then data mapped to the UI element of type "interactive form".

This should work.

Hi Ramana,

It seems to be Authorization issues with the User ID. Maintain userid for printer  output in LP01 and check if it can help.
