 Define Form

Use

You define a form for a specific Internal Service Requestscenario . This form is later filled out by the person entering the request.

Prerequisites

  1. In Customizing under Start of the navigation path Cross-Application Components Next navigation step Internet/Intranet Services Next navigation step Internal Service Request Next navigation step Scenario Definition Next navigation step Define Scenarios End of the navigation path , you defined a scenario.

    For more information on the scenario, see Definition of a Scenario .

    Note Note

    You define special fields for the request in Customizing for scenarios. You can use the following characteristic categories for this:

    • Characteristics with a reference to a category=data element

    • Characteristics with a reference to a category=structure

    • Uncategorized characteristics

    You can evaluate characteristics on the HTML template under the name specified there.

    The only exception is characteristics with reference to a structure . In this case, the structure fields can be used with their names (without the prefix of <structure name> or similar names) in the HTML template. This means that structures are continuously broken down for the request and can, therefore, be seen as a more compact definition instead of a selection of single characteristics that refer to data elements.

    In all three cases, the characteristic description is available as a field label in the HTML template as well as the name and the characteristic content.

    Categorized characteristics can use the field length in addition. In addition, the input/output format is executed for characteristics that refer to data elements or structure fields, in the same way as for screen fields.

    Uncategorized characteristics have the implicit CHAR250 category without input/output conversion.

    The following restrictions apply to the definition of the scenario characteristics:

    • Characteristic names or structure field names must be unique within a scenario.

    • Characteristic names or structure field names may not begin with ISR _

    • Characteristic names or structure field names should not be named as HTML business indicators (such as LABEL, NAME, VALUE, DIM, MAXSIZE, TYPE, EXISTS, ENABLED, or VISSIZE).

    • The characteristic names or structure field names should have a maximum length of 28 characters.

    • The data length of the characteristic or structure fields is restricted to 250 characters.

    End of the note.

  2. You have generated and published an ITS service.

    For more information on generating an ITS service, see Generating a Service .

Process

An Internet service for an internal service request has the following components:

  • Service file with ITS parameters

  • HTML templates for the different processing modes in the request

  • File with the language-dependent resources from the HTML template.

You can process Internet services in the SAP@Web Studio, or in the Web Application Builder (access from Customizing for scenarios). However, the SAP@Web Studio has several advantages over the Web Application Builder (syntax check, more user-friendly editor, clearer management of the individual components and several Internet services at the same time, and more extensive help functions). You can also switch between tools during processing. You can use the source control in the SAP@Web Studio to check Internet services in and out of the SAP@Web Studio.

For more information on adaptation tools, see the SAP Library under:

  • Start of the navigation path Basis Next navigation step BC-ABAP Workbench Next navigation step Integration of Internet Services Next navigation step Web Application Builder End of the navigation path

  • Start of the navigation path Basis Next navigation step SAP-Internet Applications Next navigation step SAP@Web Studio End of the navigation path

Service Parameters

In an Internet service, you need the following parameters for an internal service request:

HTML Templates

You start the internal service request with transaction QISR1 in the SAP system (program SAPLQISR3 ). One of the following screens appears, depending on the processing mode. For each of these subscreen containers, you can define your own HTML template to generate the corresponding HTML form:

Mode

Screen

HTML Template

CREATE

110

saplqisr3_110.html

CHANGE

120

saplqisr3_120.html

DISPLAY

130

saplqisr3_130.html

All HTML templates should be assigned to Default-Theme 99. You can leave out the HTML template for processing modes that you do not require.

If you do not require any variants for the request for the different processing modes, define the HTML template for the display mode. You can enter the following HTML business statement for all other HTML templates:

`include(~theme="99", ~language="", ~name="saplqisr3_110.html")`

This statement ensures that for each HTML template, the saplqisr3_110.html HTML template for the create mode is referenced.

In the HTML template for creating, if you use the functions from the ISR HTML library (for SAP Design) or from the ISR Plain HTML Library (for Plain HTML), then the entry fields are automatically switched to Not ready for input depending on the processing mode.

Definition of an HTML Template for the ISR

The simplest HTML template contains the HTML code for displaying the request in the Web browser. You can embed the HTMLBusiness statement into the HTML template for a dynamic HTML page layout.

For more information on HTMLBusiness, see the SAP@Web Studio or the Web Application Builder under Application Help . You can use HTMLBusiness to create HTML statements under certain circumstances for example ( if ( ... ) ... else ... end; ) or in loops ( for ... ; ). In the HTML template, the following always applies:

  • Statements included in ` (backtick) contain HTML business code

  • Statements not included in ` (backtick) contain HTML code, which is generated directly into the HTML page.

Data from the SAP system can likewise be addressed using HTMLBusiness in the HTML template. For example, the instruction BUILDING_TO has the effect that in the HTML page generated based on the template the value of the characteristic BUILDING_TO is output.

Note Note

As well as the special characteristics defined in Customizing for scenarios, you can use the following general data from the internal service request in the HTML template.

The following functions are available in the SAP General HTMLBusiness Functions Library to enable you to create the most important form elements (buttons, fields, labels etc.) quickly and easily:

  • SAPDesign

    To simplify the creation of HTML templates for internal service requests further, there is a supplement to the SAP General HTML Business Functions Library for internal service requests. You include this library in HTML templates using the following statement:

` include(~service="sr_library", ~theme="99", ~language="", ~name="ISR_Template_Library.html") `

If you use this library, you can automatically use the functions of the SAP General HTML Business Functions Library .

Example: HTML Framework for HTML Templates for Internal Service Requests

Example: Specific Form Elements in HTML Templates (SAPDesign)

  • Plain HTML

    To make it easier to create Plain HTML templates, you can use the following statement to include a library in your template:

`include(~service="sr_library", ~theme="99", ~language="", ~name="ISR_Template_Library_Plain_HTML.html")`
