Generate PDF

[Former Member]

Hi,

<b>generatePdf-This mode value is used to generate a new PDF document from the data source and the template.</b>

The above is the given definition for the generatepdf mode of interactive form UI element in webdynpro.

I have mapped the datasource property of the ui element with the contex node.(cardinality is 1:n).So it will use that context values.

What does that template mean?Should I save the designed template in any one subfolder of the project.

If so give me the location .

What is the correct cardinality of the context node?

What does template refered here mean to?

Thanks,

Shamila.

Hi,

The context cardinality of the mapped node is 0..n and selectiion is 0..1.

By using node of elements u can access the data and you can store in your PDF src/mimes/components/application package name.

It might helps,

Thanks,

Hi,

Thanks.

Should I explicitly store the template in

src/mimes/components/application for generating the pdf in mode generate pdf, before deploying the application.

In webdynpro I am not having an option to save the form ?

Then if I want to save the form how can i save it.

Thanks in advance,

Shamila.

Hi Shamila

In all SAP integration environments, incl. Web Dynpro, you don't need to anything with the template except create it (in WD by dragging and dropping an InteractiveForm UI element onto the view). SAP takes care of storing the template in the appropriate location in the database. You save the template with all the other data through the corresponding menu item in the Developer Studio.
