How to use FORM-HTMLPROCESS

Thu May 4 02:36:41 EDT 2006

My only requirement is to get rejection comments from the user and send
it in a mail. We have myworkplace implemented (4.6c R/3). I need
something that should pop on web, get user comments and then pass it
back to the workflow. Is there any alternative?

Folks, 

FORM.HTMLPROCESS generates a very basic transaction - you are then
expected to create an ITS service on top of this transaction to handle
the screens in this transaction.  This part of the transaction is NOT
automatically generated - its the bit you need to do manually.   There
are some helpful hints in the SAP Library documentation for this. 

Other form options are:
* Form Step (4.6D and above)
* SAP/Adobe Interactive Forms - requires a NW04 (or above) in your
system landscape as a minimum

Hi Manish:

FORM-HTMLPROCESS only gives a vary bare-bone basic form, and there seems
no way for modification, but I hope someone can correct me if I am
wrong.

Have you tried the form step?

Thanks.
Larry Hu

Thanks Larry. 

I created a new task with FORM-HTMLPROCESS. Then generated a web
transaction for the same. However 

1.	It never asked for the layout and other details. 
2.	I've no idea from where I can modify that? 

Thanks
Manish

Manish:

1. Any task that calls FORM-HTMLPROCESS has a web transaction code that
is created when you click the menu item Web Transaction while creating
the task itself.  The web transaction code creation is a unique step
only needed for tasks like this. This transaction code remembers the
text container elements of the task. Suppose you have specifed 4 text
elements. When you execute the web transaction outside the workflow, you
will be presented a form that has 4 input fields where you can type your
rejection reasons. 

2. When the method HTMLPROCESS is executed, the web transaction code is
called, and the rejection reasons are passed to the workflow containers
via memory manipulation. We do not need to bother about all the details
in the dark box. What we need to know is: if we need a form with n input
fields to let the user enter his rejection reasons, all we need to do is
the following:
- create a task that calls FORM-HTMLPROCESS, and specify n text elements
for export.
- do not forget to create the web transaction code for the task.
- specify n text element in the workflow container for import.
- create the step using the task and bind the task text elements to the
workflow text elements.

Thanks,
Larry Hu

Hi,

I need to enhance an exiting workflow. 

1. One step is to input rejection comments from the user if the document
is rejected.
2. This step in the workflow refers to a custom task which in turn calls
FORM-HTMLPROCESS. 
3. Binding from workflow passes lots of parameter that is displayed in
the FORM. However in the task I could not find how and where those
container elements were used.

Any suggestions?

Regards,
Manish
