SAPforms Helper 

Use

The programs

are linked to the file extension R3F when they are installed. These files are stored in the ...\SAPforms\Bin directory. They are configured via the SAPforms Helper.

R3F ( R/3 Form) is a previously unpublished file format that is used to transfer workflow information from an R/3 System to a form and vice versa. One of the two programs is launched each time you open a file with this extension. This happens, for example, when the appropriate attachment in a mail is opened or when the file is downloaded by the SAP frontend. The R/3 Release determines which of the two programs is started.

Integration

You must configure the SAPforms Helper application if you do not want to store your forms in the ...\SAPforms\Forms directory or in the active directory.

When a work item is executed by an electronic form, the FORM.Process method supplies the name of the form to the SAPforms Helper application. This is the name you maintained when you defined the task. The SAPforms Helper application then searches for this form either in the active directory or in the ...\SAPforms\Forms directory.

Activities

To store your form files in a directory other than ...\SAPforms\Forms\, proceed as follows:

  1. Start the SAPforms Helper.

    2. The R3F-Interpreter Administration dialog box appears.

  2. Enter the path where you want to store your forms in the Form Path field. Enter EXE in the Priority list field.
  3. Choose OK.
