7.0 Create forms based on Access data -David O'Hanlon are you there?

Hi - Using a pdf created using LiveCycle 7.0 I'm trying to create xFDFs using data from an Access database. The xFDF should then be e-mailed to users who fill out the forms and return xml files by e-mail. I then parse out the xml in to SQL Server using VBScript. The problem is that setting the value isn't working. The real form is based on an XML schema & is more complicated, so Here's the xfdf I'm trying to create for a simple test: ================================================================ <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xfdf xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/xfdf/" xml:space="preserve"> <fields> <field name="Identifier"> <value>CRAP</value> </field> </fields> <f href="C:\Documents and Settings\kirkenda\My Documents\ReviewerForm\form.pdf"/> </xfdf> =============================================================== The pdf form only has one field, Identifier. The xfdf will open in reader, but the value isn't set to CRAP. This type of thing works in forms created using Acrobat 6.0, but I can't get it to work with the forms I've created using LiveCycle Designer 7.0 that comes with Acrobat 7.0. I'm thinking of uninstalling 7.0 and reinstalling 6.0, as I've hit a wall at every turn to try to pre-populate a form. Has anyone been able to do this in 7.0? Any comments at all - ANYTHING! would be welcome. Thanks -- Ginger (posted to the Acrobat forum by mistake)

I have a vital form that clients fill out, which is passed to many people in the company along the workflow. The form is a Planner and we have in the following PDF, Word Doc..
Well before, the Planner.pdf was originally created in Word, since most people have access to Word.. but evolved to a PDF form created from the Word Doc via Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.0 w/ User Rights enabled so that the form could be filled out and saved using Adobe Reader.. which was a step better than Word.. being that it is free. But this needed to be easier and more to the point b/c some clients don't particularly like installing the latest version of Reader, even if you provide them the link. Nor do they like saving the form, filling the form, and attaching the form to send back.
My goal is to have the client fill an HTML version of the form, submit and be done with it, but everyone in the workflow be able to easily receive the filled Planner as a PDF form.
So some months ago I ran into this post Chris Trip, "Populate Livecycle PDF from mySQL database using PHP" #8, 22 Sep 2007 4:37 pm
which uses the command line Win32 pdftk.exe to merge an FDF file into an existing PDF on the remote server, and serve this to whoever.
My problem was with shared hosting and having the ability to use the Win32 pdftk.exe along with PHP which is predominantly used on Linux boxes. And we used a Linux box.
so i created the following unorthodox method, which a client fills the HTML version of the Planner, all field values are INSERTED into a table in MySQL DB, I and all filled planners that have been filled by clients to date can be viewed from a repository page where an XML file is served up of the corresponding client, but someone would have to have Acrobat Professional, to import the form data from the XML file into a blank form.. altoughh this is simple for me.. I have the PHP file already created so that when a Planner is filled and client submits. >> the an email is sent to me with a table row from the repository of the client name, #, email, and a link to d-load the XML file,
But I also have the PHP files created so that the Planner can be sent to by email to various people in the workflow with certain fileds ommitted they they do not need to see, but instead of the XML file beiong served up i need the filled PDF Planner to be served.
I can do this locally with ease on a testing server, but I am currently trying to use another host that uses cross-platform compatibility so i can use PHP and the pdftk.exe to achieve this, as that is why I am having to serve up an XML file b/c we use a Linux server for our website, and cant execute the exe.
Now that I am testing the other server (cross-platform host), just to use them to do the PDF handling (and it's only $5 per month) I am having problems with getting READ, WRITE, EXECUTE permissions..
Si guess a good question to ask is can PHP do the same procedure as the pdftk.exe, and i can eleminate it.
or how in the heck can i get this data from the DB into a blank PDF form, like i have described??

Create form based on existing row : advice from specialists

hello,
i've coded a "create form" based on a row selected by the user.
this create form displays the same information as the selected row (except for the primary key which is a sequence trigger-calculated) the user can then modify any field and then commit the creation. It's quicker for tables with many columns since the user will override only several fields instead of setting every field one by one.
I've done it this way :
1) creation of a createCustomMethod() in my ViewObject implementation class and published it in the client interface.
2) drag and drop the method as a command button on the selection list page
3) set the action of the command button to the navigation case value to open the create form when the button is clicked.
the code of the createCustomMethod() is the following
public void createCustomMethod() {
Row currentRow = this.getCurrentRow();
Row newRow = this.createRow();
newRow.setAttribute("Attribute1",currentRow.getAttribute("Attribute1"));
newRow.setAttribute("Attribute2",currentRow.getAttribute("Attribute2"));
/* more initialization code here */
this.insertRow(newRow);
this.setCurrentRow(newRow);
it works fine but as i'm knew to ADF BC is this a good solution ? are there any drawbacks to it ?
thanks
-regards

what's the advantage of exposing it in the application module rather than in the view object ?

i've tried implementing the method in the application module (i had to call the findViewObject() now) but the "Row currentRow = vo.getCurrentRow();" instruction throws a NPE.

Creating parameter based on Submit Date from Remedy ITSM

I am new to creating Crystal Reports and I am using Crystal Reports XI. I am pulling information from BMC Remedy ITSM through an ODBC connection. I have created a report from HPD_Help_Desk that pulls the Incident Number, Submit Date, Submitter, Owner and Description. I am not having any problems pulling the information from the tables. The issue that I am running into is creating a new parameter field that can be used so that when the people that will be running this report can pull information based on a date range of the submit date. When the report is run, it pulls the datetime from Remedy ITSM in a mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss format with AM or PM on the end. I have created a parameter named Date Range that has a static list of values. The Type of the parameter is Date Time. The Value Field is Submit_Date. I have selected true for allowing custom values and allowing range values. The objective is to have the person running the report type in the datetime range such as Start of Range Value: 11/22/2009 00:00:00AM and End of Range Value: 11/28/2009 23:59:59PM so that they get all data for Incidents created from the start of the day on the 22nd to through the end of the day on the 28th providing 1 weeks worth of data. I know selection criteria can be used to run for the previous full week, but this will not help if people want to check on historical data. When the parameter is added to the report, it requests the datetime ranges be entered in a yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss format. I have entered in datetime ranges and it will not filter the data. I receive data back for all dates even outside the range requested. I have attempted to change the format of the Submit Date within the report to match what the parameter is asking for and receive the same results. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Thank you for the feedback Carl. Again, I am new to this, so please be patient with me. I am not sure what you mean about adding the parameter to the record selection formula. I have drug the parameter field into the report so that it will prompt for parameters before running, but I do not think that is what you are talking about. Please advise.
To your question about the Submit Date field in the report, when I open up the report and I point at the field for Submit Date the popup shows HPD_Help_Desk.Submit_Date (DateTime). That being the case, I think the answer to your question is that the data type of the data being returned is DateTime. Thanks again for the assistance.

OutLook 2007 Macro to create Folder Based on Received Date

Dear All,
Is it possible to create a macro which will automatically create a folder based on Received Date of the mail and then group these mails (in folders) based on the received month….
Can someone help me with the VBA Coding for Outlook 2007, where I select a folder and the macro creates folder’s and subfolder based on the received month and date-wise folder (based on the received date of the mail).
Thanks...

Yes, it is possible, but why would you want to split up your emails like that?
Note that you can also do a simply search query to find all emails received within a certain month. For instance, when you want to see all emails which you received in July 2013 type the following in the Search Field:
received:(July 2013)

Creating report based on master data

Hi Guys,
I want to create a specific report based on master data in BI cube. for example... a report which takes cost center and period as variable and display expenses for that period and cost center. This report I want to create for all cost center in BI database separately. any idea how can we do this?
There are 2000 cost centers and I need to print/send 2000 reports one for every cost center.
If I store all cost center in excel file, can it be easier?
broadcasting and creating 2000 schedule - not option.
Thanks..SM

Hi stuti misra,
Create ONE Query with selection Cost Center and Period are inputs.
Create text variables for Cost Center and Period and add in Query Description.
After query execution you can see description based on selection in workbook or webtemplate.
Hope it Helps

Creating form based on table with non-sequence pk.

How to you create a form based on a varchar2 column and not a sequenced assigned pk. So the pk would be entered at the time a new
row is added. It would be entered just like the other fields from the form and not a sequence.
How do you do this as when using the wizard it prompts you to select one of 3 ways to define the pk.
Sequence, trigger or pl/sql code.
If the answer is pl/sql code, what do I need to create in the code?

If the primary key is created by the user themselves (which is not recommended, you should have another ID which the user sees which would be the varchar2 and keep the primary key as is, the user really shouldn't ever edit the primary key) then all you need to do is make sure that the table is not populated with a primary key in the wizard and then make sure that you cannot insert a null into your varchar primary key text field.
IF you're doing it this way I would make a validation on the page which would run off a SQL Exists validation, something along the lines of
SELECT <primary key column>
FROM <your table>
WHERE upper(<primary key column>) = upper(<text field containing user input>);
and if it already exists, fire the validation claiming that it already exists and to come up with a new primary key.
Like I said if you really should have a primary key which the database refers to each individual record itself and then have an almost pseudo-primary key that the user can use. For example in the table it would look like this:
TABLE1
table_id (this is the primary key which you should NOT change)
user_table_id (this is the pretend primary key which the user can change)
other_columns
etc
etc
hope this helps in some way

Error creating form based on a table

This is wierd. I am running WebDB2.2
and up until now it has been no problem
creating forms from tables. But now in
this schema called SUMI I am unable to
create a form based on a table. I get
the error below. I have assigned SUMI
almost every possible permission
(DBA, WebDeveloper) so I
don't think it is a permissions issue.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance. Marvin.

How to create Form based on a table to display multiple record

Hello All,
Would somebody please tell me how to create a Form based on a single table ,
to view and insert multi record based on a single table.In other words I would like
to have a form as shown below ,where the users can Insert,update,delete,query and so on
Item Id PArt Number List Price
100 Item-1 $120.oo
200 Item-2 $150.00
300 Item-3 $50.00
I know I can do it as Single Record block using Tabular Format,but multiple record ?????
Thanks in Anticipation
Babu

Try this method,
1. Creat a Master Detail Form (Custom Layout and not tabular)
and in the master block select one field.
2. In the HTML layout for master remove the reference for
that field(so that nothing will appear in the master block
of the form).
3. Before the update (in the Pl/SQL event handler select the 'Save' event and write the following code to avoid updating master block).
p_session.set_value(p_block_name => 'MASTER_BLOCK',
p_attribute_name => 'MASTER_ACTION',
p_value => 'None');
doSave;
For eg, let's say
Master is from 'Dept' table and Detail is from 'Emp' table(with join condition Dept.dept_id = Emp.dept_id). In the master remove everything except dept_id field and in the HTML layout for master remove the reference of the dept_id field(you cannot remove this field physically from the master layout). Now the form will look like multirow form rather than master detail form but only problem with this workaround is 'Detail Action' will be present in the detail block.
I hope this will help you.
Thanks

Create form based applications using javafx in NetBeans 6.5

Hi Friends,

Create report based on JSON data

Dear All,
I'm on Oracle APEX 4.1 and Oracle 11g. I'm receiving JSON data in my application and would like to print report based on JSON data without storing it in any table.
Can you please suggest best way to achieve it?
Regards,
Chintan

Hi,
in 4.1 you can for example use the open source PL/JSON library (http://sourceforge.net/projects/pljson/) to parse JSON.
In APEX 5.0, we currently plan to add a JSON API package that e.g. can be used to convert JSON to XML. Here is an example:
SQL> select col1, col2
2 from xmltable (
3      '/json/row'
4      passing apex_json.parse('[{"col1": 1, "col2": "hello"},{"col1": 2, "col2": "world"}]')
5      columns
6          col1 number path '/row/col1',
7          col2 varchar2(5) path '/row/col2' );
                COL1 COL2
                   1 hello
                   2 world
At the last OOW, it was also announced that the RDBMS will provide native support. That should be the preferred option in the future.
Regards,
Christian

Your "accessibility solution"... Are you KIDDING ME?

Your "accessibility solution" to the tiny type in the iTunes Store (which does not respond to Ctrl-+) is to BUY a 3rd party screen reader.
Are you KIDDING ME?
Tell me there is something in that tiny type I cannot read that hints at an actual solution. I have a big investment in iTunes as my music source, but as my eye condition gets worse I am losing the ability to use it.

Prop,
Sorry it was not clear.
At most online music stores, such as Amazon MP3, you do the shopping within your browser. You can avail yourself of all the accessibility features of the browser.
Thus you will be able to buy music for your iTunes library without ever encountering the problem which triggered your original post.

Creating Historical based Security Access Type

I am trying to create a Security Access Type for PPLJOB that will look at the Reg_Region of an employee and if the historical rows of JOB contain the reg_region, use the employee in a Data Permission for Security. I want to know if anyone has tried this before and how the SQLID for Where needed to be coded. I created a SQLID with the following statement which didn't pull any employees:
PA.EMPLID = JOB.EMPLID AND PA.EMPL_RCD = JOB.EMPL_RCD AND JOB.EFFDT = (SELECT MAX(EFFDT) FROM PS_JOB JOB2 WHERE JOB.EMPLID = JOB2.EMPLID AND JOB.EMPL_RCD = JOB2.EMPL_RCD AND JOB2.EFFDT <= %CurrentDateIn) AND JOB.EFFSEQ = (SELECT MAX(EFFSEQ) FROM PS_JOB JOB3 WHERE JOB.EMPLID = JOB3.EMPLID AND JOB.EMPL_RCD = JOB3.EMPL_RCD AND JOB.EFFDT = JOB3.EFFDT) AND JR.EMPLID = JOB.EMPLID AND JR.EMPL_RCD = JOB.EMPL_RCD AND JR.EFFDT = JOB.EFFDT AND JR.EFFSEQ = JOB.EFFSEQ AND JOB.REG_REGION <> %Bind(SCRTY_KEY1) AND EXISTS (SELECT 'X' FROM PS_JOB JOB4 WHERE JOB.EMPLID = JOB4.EMPLID AND JOB.EMPL_RCD = JOB4.EMPL_RCD AND JOB4.EFFDT < JOB.EFFDT AND JOB4.REG_REGION = %Bind(SCRTY_KEY1))

Thank you for the feedback Carl. Again, I am new to this, so please be patient with me. I am not sure what you mean about adding the parameter to the record selection formula. I have drug the parameter field into the report so that it will prompt for parameters before running, but I do not think that is what you are talking about. Please advise.
To your question about the Submit Date field in the report, when I open up the report and I point at the field for Submit Date the popup shows HPD_Help_Desk.Submit_Date (DateTime). That being the case, I think the answer to your question is that the data type of the data being returned is DateTime. Thanks again for the assistance.

How to create monitor based on the data collected by rule?

I have an application which comes with a built-in command: GetBackLogNm.exe. Running this command can get the current backlog number in the system.
Now I need to create a monitor which should trigger the alert if the backlog keeps increasing for 2 hours. I am thinking of creating a rule which run command GetBackLogNm.exe to get the number and save it into DW. Then create a monitor based on the collected
data. Is it the correct way? If so, can anyone give me a outline how to do so? An example would be much appreciated if possible.
Thanks!

Hi Jonathan, thanks for the quick reply. But System.ConsolidatorCondition seems only available for SCOM 2012. I didn't find it in 2007 libraries.
However the idea your and Vladimir showed in this
post is really helping. I kind of solved the issue not using the exactly the components (since it is available in 2012 only) but following the same logic.
In general I did this:
1. create a script rule which execute the command to get backlog number; then save the log number in the DW and the registry.
2. just like System.Performance.DeltaValueCondition, when the second time the rule triggered by schedule, it will compare the current backlog number and the last known number stored in the registry. If the value is exceeding given threshold AND bigger than
the last known back log number, the rule increase an counter which is also stored in the registry
3. create an unit monitor to monitor the counter stored in the registry and will trigger the alert if the counter exceeding a given value.
This solved the issue. But I feel a little not comfortable to store data in the registry.
So one quick question which might be out of the this topic: what is a good way to store the data generated by one workflow and then share it with another workflow or reuse sometime later? In my case here, I used the registry key. Cook down is one option
to share data but it is very strict and can't solve the issue I have in this case.
Thanks again!
