Print Version - Project Management Dashboard

[Former Member]

There's a Print Version link/button on the Project Management dashboard. What is this all about? How can we get this to work? Currently, it complains of some RFC error. More than the error, we at this time need to know what this is all about... What is the content?

Thanks.

Hello Deepak,

the print version will display the table (ALV) as a PDF document. For this to function you need an ADS (Adobe Document services) instance somewhere installed (on a Java stack) and some simple configuration steps, as they are described in the Help-Link when you get the RFC error message.

In my experience the print version PDF is not really useful and people use the Excel-Export much more frequently.

btw the ADS is then also needed for the Print-fact-sheet function, which renders a PDF from item data.

regards,

Hi Johannes,

Kindly provide the navigation steps for the above scenario ADS instance.

Dashboard developed and published in SAP Portal using iViews. Now requirement is to create pdf and print it.

Hello, the main point is: have you developed the dashboard in Webdynpro ABAP or Java ? The standard PPM project management dashboard is WDA, and it offers the "print version" button, because this is a standard feature of the WDA ALV. If you then configure the ADS settings, you do this in Customizing: SPRO->SAP Netweaver->Application Server->SAP List Viewer (ALV).
