ESS FPM: Print Functionality

[Anmol_Kumar]

Hi,

I had created ESS iView using FPM. In ESS screen there is a PRINT button. On click of print button a PDF of printed data (complete ESS iView data is viewed in PDF) is generated.

How to achieve this functionality in ESS (coding from FPM)? Or if any particular setting/ software need to be integrated?

Hi Anmol,

1) how you can have print functionality in your application

if you are using CE following is the blog by Satyajit Chakraborty explaining it:

/people/community.user/blog/2007/10/01/printing-in-web-dynpro-finally

else you will first have to convert the screen data to a PDF and then print Following is the blog by Prakash Singh.

2) Implement print functionality in your application using FPM.

FPM does not provide any print functionality.

Create a VAC component where a print button is provided which will convert your selection to PDF. Now use this component throughout your application

Hi Anmol,

FPM is a framework to put all the available views in a roadmap as different steps.

So, to have a print functionality in you application you need to implement it in the one of the component which is common among all you roadmap steps.

Hi Aishwarya,

I think Anmol is asking about the process of implementing the Print Functionality in a application. I am interested in knowing about it. Please explain the process. I would appreciate your help.

Hi Aishwarya,

On click of a button in ESS/Self service screen, user should have the ability to download the screen content/selections into a PDF file

The screens are designed using FPM architecture. How to achieve it (using FPM) ?

Hi,

In ESS screen, there is a print button. On click of print button the complete ESS screen data should be generated in PDF format (ESS screen -> On click of print button -> PDF screen generated - containing ESS data)

How to achieve this in FPM?
