Forms Server ES - Pass By Value XDP

I have a need to pass by value the XDP (XDP and Data XML Merged together) to the forms web service renderPDFForm method.
We had this working fine in Adobe 6 and Adobe 7.X (Livecycle).
We are in process of upgrading to Adobe 8 (LiveCycle ES).
When I make the render call below I pass the XDP and XML data together in one XDP package to the service. It renders the PDF Form, but I do not see my data like I did in Adobe 7.X.
Any Ideas/Suggestions?
fs.renderPDFForm("",data,pdfFormRenderSpec,uriValues,attachments,outRenderPDFFormResultDoc ,longHolder,stringHolder,formsResult);

Typically its pass by value. Thanks to class loaders and the JMS specification, you pretty much have to serialize any Object in an ObjectMessage before sending.
Sending around 20K to 10Mb is no big deal these days - but if you're worried about message size, send around a URL to the resource instead.

Passing a value for date parameter from Oracle Forms to BIP

Hi
I have created a report with the following SQL query:
select
d_tables.d_seq,
to_date(d_tables.d_created) creation_date,
d_tables.d_created_by created_by,
d_tables.d_pk,
d_tables.table_name,
d_tables.comments
from
d_tables, d_applications
where
d_tables.d_ppk = d_applications.d_pk
and to_date(d_tables.d_created) >= nvl(:P_CRE_DATE_FROM, to_date(d_tables.d_created))
and to_date(d_tables.d_created) <= nvl(:P_CRE_DATE_TO, to_date(d_tables.d_created))
The parameters P_CRE_DATE_FROM and P_CRE_DATE_TO have been set up as date in BI Publisher with format dd-MMM-yyyy
The report works fine when launched in BI Publisher.
I want to call this report from Oracle Forms and I'm trying to pass the values for both the parameters. However, the report does not generate output based on values passed.
Does it have to do with datatype? Does anyone know a solution for this?
Kind regards,
Aparna

Thanks for your suggestion. I am already referring to the whitepaper and have integrated Forms with BI Publisher. The parameter passing is working fine for a varchar2 type of parameter. However, for a date type, there seems to be some problem.

How to pass a value from the report to a form ( BIT OF URGENT ).

Hi,
I had created a "Form on a Table with Report" on the report I had remove the edit link and set one of the column feilds that functionality. Now I want to know how to pass that value that is clicked ( having hyper link ) on to the form where it runs a SQL query and then displays the reuslts on the form.
Illustrating with an example.
I am having these following columns on the report ( these are the results for the join statement )
JOBNUM JOBNAME DEPTNUMBER SAL EMPNO LNAME FNAME
In the above JOBNUM is having Hyper link as I removed the edit image.
Now this is area I am having problem. When the user clicked on the JOBNUM then on form it should display 20 other columns( pulled from 5 other tables ) which are related to that particualr JOBNUM.
Anybody give me a solution in which area I have to include my SQL statement and how to pass that selected value to that SQL statement.
Cheers,
Krishna

Hi Ron,
I am doing exaclty what you have suggested me but no luck. I started changing the DEMO_CUSTOMERS application to my requirements.The report is working fine and on the report I have created a page attribute to the Hyper linked column and linked that to the page 2 and assign that attribute with #JOBNUM#.
I am able to pass that value on to form when I click on the JOBNUM. But the problem is I am not able to pass that value into the SQL query so that my query pulls 20+ columns on to the Form ( which is second page ).
Small clarification... On the form region it is said FORM NAME and type is HTML is that is the way the APEX was designed or does it need to say region type as FORM.
Thanks for your help in advance.
Cheers,
Krishna.

Pass a value of a file to a variable in a server proxy.

I need to pass a value of a file to a variable in a server proxy and the system tell me that:
Field "INPUT-ENTRADA-ITEM-ZCO_BUDGT_MI_IN_ZBAPI_KP06_EN-VERSION" is unknown. It is neither in one of the specified tables nor defined by a "DATA" statement. "DATA" statement.
Thanks for the help.
This is my code:
DATA: bdc_line TYPE bdcdata.
DATA: bdc_tab TYPE TABLE OF bdcdata.
DATA: opt TYPE ctu_params.
CLEAR bdc_line.
bdc_line-program = 'SAPLKPP0'.
bdc_line-dynpro = '1000'.
bdc_line-dynbegin = 'X'.
APPEND bdc_line TO bdc_tab.
CLEAR bdc_line.
bdc_line-fnam = 'KPP0B-VALUE(01)'.
bdc_line-fval = input-entrada-item-zco_budgt_mi_in_zbapi_kp06_en-PER1.
APPEND bdc_line TO bdc_tab.
CLEAR bdc_line.
bdc_line-fnam = 'KPP0B-VALUE(02)'.
bdc_line-fval = input-entrada-item- zco_budgt_mi_in_zbapi_kp06_en-PER2.
APPEND bdc_line TO bdc_tab.
CALL TRANSACTION 'KP06' USING bdc_tab
                          MODE 'A'
                          UPDATE 'S'.

Hi,
The 'input' normally is a field with nested structures.
That may be the case here.
You can you the following code instead:
data: LS_LINE like line of INPUT-ENTRADA-ITEM-ZCO_BUDGT_MI_IN_ZBAPI_KP06_EN.
or if you have a different nesting, try:
data: LS_LINE like table of INPUT-ENTRADA-ITEM,
      LS_ITEM like line of <LS_LINE>.
or other suitable declaration
Then, in the code:
loop at INPUT-ENTRADA-ITEM-ZCO_BUDGT_MI_IN_ZBAPI_KP06_EN into LS_LINE.
ENDLOOP.
or,
loop at INPUT-ENTRADA-ITEM into LS_LINE.
loop at LS_LINE into LS_ITEM.
endloop.
endloop.
if you still have questions, let me know the structure of the 'input', with the table types involved.

Pass a value to a form to be used as a label/readonly

I have a link between a report and an update form. I want to pass the value of a report column to the form to be used as a label. The report column does not exist in the table that the form is based on. How can I do this? I added an item to the form, but that item does not show up in the link details for assignment of a value. Is this a refresh problem?

How do I get the value (VAC_ID) to the form from the link? When you edit the link you can assign column values to the parameters. How can I get the parameter (VAC_ID) to show up as a parameter when it is not in the record?

Passing IR Values to Form via Link Column

I am fairly new to APEX and was wondering if there was a way to pass more than the 3 allotted values in the Link Column of an Interactive Report.
My report is generated from a query that pulls from several tables. My link column navigates to a form that edits attributes from one of the queried tables. I want to display all the associated values from the same row in the report, but the link column seems to only allow 3 items to be passed to the next page. I can currently fetch all row values that belong to the table the form was created for, but I don't know how to get the others.

Hi,
Instead of passing a number of values through link which in turn passes through URL, you could use Automatic Row Fetch process on load of your
form page to fetch the values of all form items.
Moreover, you have limitation on the data passed through URL.
For using the Automatic Row Fetch process you have to do following:
1) On your form page create a hidden item to hold the primary key value you pass through your link on Interactive Report.
2) Change the Source Type of each item on your form to Database Column.
3) Change the Source value or expression to name of your database column whose value the item will hold.
4) Create a Automatic Row Fetch process Process Point as On Load - After Header.
Refer: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17556_01/doc/user.40/e15517/app_comp.htm#CEGCHJGJ
See the Populating Forms section below.
Hope it helps!

RunAtServer script in XDP not executed in Form Server

Hi, Expert,
I authored the form template in Designer 7.1 and generated PDF using SOAP client call 'renderForm()' successfully on Form Server with JBoss 3.x.
The problem is that the script in the template written in Designer set as 'RunAt=Server' never gets executed in Forms Server (the script is triggered in the event like 'form:ready' and 'layout:ready').
Is there any special options which shd be set in renderForm() call or the properties of XDP?
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
John

Hi, Rob,
Thank you very much for the reply.
I call the renderForm() is like:
IOutputContext context = formServer.renderForm(
args[0], // name of XDP file
"PDFForm", // for interactive form
xmlBytes, // merged XML data
"CacheEnabled=False", // runtime options
null,
"http://localhost:8080/",
"http://localhost:8080/", // sTargetURL
"file:///d:/formsapi", // path of XDP file
null);
The script in XDP run at server in form:ready is like:
if (txtProductId.rawValue == null || txtProductId.rawValue == "") {
// hide it
txtProductId.presence = "hidden";
Thanks again
John

Does Forms server 7.2.2 supports fragments in xdp files?

Hi,
The scenario is:
There is an xdp file created in Designer ES. It contains 3 fragments (F1, F2, F3).
If this xdp file is rendered (as PDF) using LC Forms Server 7.2.2, will it resolve the fragments and include them while being rendered as a PDF?
Appreciate your help! THANKS!

Nope ....fragments was added in the 8.x timeframe I believe.

Can RG be passed with RUN_PRODUCT in Forms Server?

Does anyone know if the RUN_PRODUCT command can pass a record
group from Forms to Reports on the Forms/Reports server like it
can in the Runtime version?
I have a program that builds a group of records in Forms and
then creates a report from that group when the user selects
print. Can I make it generate them a .PDF file in the Forms
server version?
Has anyone set this up?
Thanks,
Jeff.

Smart form Passing DMBTR Value

Hi,
I have aproblem that while passing DMBTR value using structure to Smart Forms it is creating a DUMP as not fragmented.
1. first it is giving error as reference field is not matching with the forms.
when we change the structure.
2. It is creating a dump while passing the value to forms and giving the message as not fragmented.
Waiting for your help.
Thanks and Regards.

Are the data elements in the Print program / driver program for the DMBTR same as the data element of the parameter of the smart form.
If NOT, make sure both of them are referring to the same data element.
That should fix the issue.
A work around could be to fetch that particular data inside the smart form using the program lines.
Regards,
Ravi

Passing a value to a Parameter Field From a VB Form

Post Author: as1971
CA Forum: General
Hello everyone
I'm using Visual Basic 6.0 and Crystal Report 9.0
I built a report using Crystal Report and named it Player_Statement.rpt. I then included it to my VB project and named it Player_Statement.Dsr
In this report I have a Parameter Field called P_Player_ID which I'm using in Record Selection Formula.
I'm using the following code to pass a value to the parameter:
Dim Report As CRAXDRT.ReportSet Report = New Player_StatementReport.ParameterFields.GetItemByName("P_Player_ID").AddCurrentValue CLng(cmbPlayerNB.BoundText)
When I execute the application I get the error message "The value or range you are adding has already existed" at the last line of code (Where I'm assigning the parameter a value)
Could anybody help me please

LiveCycle Barcodes dont work in Form Server

Hi,
I've run into a strange problem. I designed a form using LC designer and added barcodes to it. The form is a multipage form and contains substantial amount of data. Since all this data cannot fit into one form, one the click of the submit button, the script reads all this data and breaks into smaller chunks which are then rendered as barcodes. In the PDF form this script does the job of generating barcodes on the click of the button. The same function is also called on the form load event to render the data incase the form is already populated (when viewed later).
However, when I deploy this form on Adobe form server, the bar codes are not generated properly. The PDF shows around 20 such barcodes, but when I run it through decoder, I only get one or two barcode tags which do not contain any data. Further, any app.alert() tags put in XDP can not make it the PDF generated by Form Server. The log from JBoss reports "app is undefined".
When I take the same XML file and specify it as the default XML file for the XDP template under properties and the test the form in Live Cycle designer, the form is rendered perfectly with all javascript alerts and barcodes with full XML data.
I'm totally stumped on this one. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Sanket

Hi,
How do I differentiate between a static PDF and PDF form? Is there any option in AFS or XDP? There are actually two versions of the form from users perspective. One is used for offline submission where users can fill up the form offiline in Acrobat Reader and click on the submit button to submit it. This version is working fine with all barcodes being generated properly. The other version is where users fill up online JSP and gets to view a final Read only PDF. This version also uses the same XDP. The servlet calls the EJB method passing in XML and XDP name. However, in this case, barcodes are not being generated properly.
I think you got my comment wrong for the XML. What I mean was that in my project, the previous architect had already designed some forms that way - with XML encoded in barcodes instead of delimited values. Since the design cannot be changed now, I had to carry his legacy of bad design in whatever new forms that I create as I cannot change the rest of the application.
I do agree and understand that delimited values are far more effective and efficient.
I'll post some debug messages in my next post when I return to my office tomorrow.
Thank you for your response.
