How to debug a form (servlet) in the Forms and Reports Server

Hi:
I have a new install of an application that ran perfectly on a different host using the Forms and Reports Server.
I have installed the FRS on the new host and it is working fine. I can run the test form.
When I run my actual forms app, I only get a blank screen in the browser and on the status bar it reports "Applet Started'.
Is there a way I can turn on debugging or something so I can see at what point it is failing or why the form is not opening properly?
Any advise would be appreciated.
Many thanks.
Bruce

Thanks for the reply Frank. I have looked all through the Start menu but see no "Configuration and Migration". I assume it's because I only installed the Forms and Reports option, so I only have Forms Services, Reports Services, and the Universal Installer. No big deal - I've already setup tnsnames manually. I just like to use the Net Assistant when I can.

How can I format a field in the form creator?

How can I format a field in the form creator? It's putting the same text in all the fields within a table. I want each field within the table to have different text. As soon as you click out of the table, all the text is the same.
I even changed the fields from a text box to a drop-down list so a person can make their selection, which will be a quantity from 0-9. There are two of these such fields. You make your selection in each, click off the table and both fields show whatever I selected in field 1. The original Qty I selected in the bottom field was a 5 but it changed it to whatever is in the top field on it's own. I've added a screen shot.

This behaviors usually happens when you create the fields but a copy paste command from one of the fields. The copy paste command assumes that your intentions is to maintain a copy of the field in two separate locations (e.i, a form field "company name" printed in each and every page of a multi-page form document.
Go to the properties fields of each field and make sure to assign unique form field names.

How do I make a button onj the form which will submit and send the pdf as an email?

how do I make a button on the form which will submit and send the pdf as an email?

You can set up a button with a "Submit a form" action and use a mailto type URL to specify the email address you want the forms sent do. If you want to send the entire PDF, select that option and not FDF or anything else. The mailto URL should not include any spaces and the "mailto" part should be lowercase, like:
mailto:[email protected]
This will attempt to initiate an email using the users default email client. If the user does not have one set up or there is some other problem, the email might not get initiated. If it needs to work with Reader versions prior to 11, then the form needs to be Reader-enabled, which you do in Acrobat 11 by selecting: File > Save As Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools

Sorry we do not support this. What you can do though is add a Formatted Text element and add a link to a PDF. To insert a link add some text, select the text and right click on the text (or look under the Insert menu in the top right of the scene)

How can I create a long employment form without making the form widget drag?

How can I create a long employment form without making the form widget drag?

Sorry Sachin, I mean that I created a simple form on the page from the widget and started adding fields to it. The more fields I add the slower the delay becomes in creating a new field. Even when I try to select and drag or move an item, there's a huge delay and sometimes the program feezes, loose what i've done and have ot restart.
I'm doing an enployment form that has more than 20 fields, at least, and I need to be able to build the fields in separate categories, like Education, Past Employment, etc... quickly without delay issues.
I can probably send you a snap shot of what I'm talking about if I cna post it or attach it here..?

How can I close a category in the form central form without closing it as error?

How can I close a category in the form central form without closing it as error?

I'm still not sure I follow - let me see if this is right. You want to have users signing up for something using a FormsCentral form and then when something is full you'd like that section to show as "Closed" or full so nobody else can sign up for that particular event/day/time? If that is the goal FormsCentral does not have any logic to close certain portions of the form.
Thanks,
Josh

Create a class that holds the reference to the file and do the whole file manipulation just in that class. than synchronize the read and write methodes. A reference to this file handler class can be stored to the servlet context in one servlet and read out from the servlet context in the other servlet.

How do i repeat a section of the form can i copy and paste?

How do i repeat a section of the form with out creating it again.

Is there anything special about your drop downs (lots of choices)? Are the drop downs part of the selection? You may need to select all of the fields in the section then add the drop downs to the selection by using control-click (command-click on Mac).

How to insert application form id into the form template

Hi,
Is there a way to set the application form id into a form template designed from the LiveCycle Designer? Here is the detail description of my question:
(1) I am using LiveCycle Design to design a form template.
(2) I go to our application to deploy this form template. During the process, a form id will be generated and it will be associated with this form template.
(3) I would like to insert this generated form id into the form template, so that later when user fills out and submits the form, I will know what's the form id the submitted data belongs to.
Appreciate you kind help!!!

Hi Justin,
Yes. The form ID will be generated by our application during the form deployment process (after the form is designed, it needs to be deployed to our application before it can be used.). So I was hoping there is a way to set the form ID into the form template design at that point. So that later when end user fills out and submits this form, I will know what form ID it is related to.
If I cannot do this at the deployment point, one way I can think of is to do it at the time when end user is downloading the form. I can return a "rendered" form (instead of opening up the form template directly) with the form ID information in it. But that means for every single form user opened we need to render it at run time to fill in the form ID, which is not performing and what I was trying to avoid.
Thanks for your help!

Deploying servlets in the Sun One Web Server 6.1

Friends, Please let me know how to deploy servlets in the Sun One Web Server 6.1.
Thanks in advance,
Madan.

You cannot get that behavior.
When an SSL client and server negotiate the connection, the client sends a list of all the cipher suites it supports. From that list the server will pick the most secure cipher suite which it also supports (if the server doesn't support any of the cipher suites proposed by the client, the connection establishment will fail).
RC4 (128bit) is more secure than 3DES (112 bit). Thus, a server will never pick 3DES above RC4_128 if both are valid options (i.e. when both client and server support both). If you really wanted to force use of 3DES you need to disable RC4_128 in the server (or all the clients; or both).

PFRD 11.1.1.4 - How to stop the In-process Reports Server

I'm running an "out-of-the-box" PFRD 11.1.1.4 installation in Windows XP SP3.
According with documentation:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17904_01/bi.1111/b32121/pbr_strt006.htm#BEHDJFHD
To directly start or stop the in-process Reports Server using a URL, enter the following in your Web browser:
http://machine_name:port/reports/rwservlet/startserver
http://machine_name:port/reports/rwservlet/stopserver
startserver works.
stopserver returns:
REP-50171 : Authentication failed.
Tried
http://machine_name:port/reports/rwservlet/stopserver?authid=weblogic/passwd
same error.
Commented the line:

in rwserver.conf.
Same error.
The only uncomented elements in "rwservlet.properties" (original configuration) are
<server>rep_wls_reports_pfurtado-lap_asinst_1</server>
<singlesignon>no</singlesignon>
<inprocess>yes</inprocess>
Did any of you managed to stop "in-process" reports server using the reports servlet?
What credentials did you use?
Thanks & Best Regards
Paulo

Thanks RZ!
The line you mentioned was already as you described.
According with the documentation:
[Starting and Stopping Reports Server|http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17904_01/bi.1111/b32121/pbr_strt001.htm#i1005629]
If Reports Server is running as an in-process server through the Reports Servlet, issue the following URL:
http://your_host_name:port_number/reports/rwservlet/stopserver?authid=admin user/admin password
Note:
authid is Reports Server's administration user name and password. In Oracle Reports 11g Release 1 (11.1.1), the default security is based on standards-based Java EE security model through Oracle Platform Security Services. For a non-secure Reports Server, this user is defined in the identifier element.
I added the identifier element to rwserver.conf and restarted WLS_REPORTS, but after this the in-process reports server failed to start with the usual generic exception.
I finally found the missing step in:
How To Secure Showjobs Web Command In A Non Secured Reports Server In Oracle Report 11g? (Doc ID 1242614.1)
The thing is that the identifier element has to be placed in the right location inside rwserver.conf:
The needed change is:
FROM
<queue maxQueueSize="1000"/>
<pluginParam name="mailServer" value="%MAILSERVER_NAME%"/>
TO
<queue maxQueueSize="1000"/>
<identifier encrypted="no">....type here your user/password....</identifier>
<pluginParam name="mailServer" value="%MAILSERVER_NAME%"/>
So although using the default non-secure reports server, the identifier element has to be present in rwserver.conf for rwservlet/stopserver to work as described above.
Otherwise the needed authentication will fail as described.

Paulo

BODS 3.1 : How to trigger an email alert for the jobs on BODS server ?

Hi All.
I have this request.
BODS 3.1 : How to trigger an email alert for the jobs on BODS server ?
We have jobs scheduled on BODS running smoothly and absolutely fine.
But to check, i am logging into the admin console and check for the jobs status.
I would like to have an email to be received from BODS after each job is finished.
It could succuessful. Or it could fail.
Whatsoever, i wish to receive an email alert as soon as a job is finished.
Can anyone advise me as to whether this could be made possible.
And if yes, how this could be done.
Thanks for your help in advance.
In BOE CMC / for webi / schedule / we find an option to send email for a job success or a job failure.
Is there any option similar to that in BODS ?
Also would like to know :
how to use the smtp_to or mail_to functions ?

thanks

Edited by: Indumathy Narayanan on May 31, 2011 3:47 PM

Hi.
Since am new to this BODS. I need some help.
I already have many jobs which are running absolutely fine.
And when a job runs, and finishes, am able to see the trace saying
e.g. :
Job_abc is completed successfully.
We got the smtp service activated for our test server.
and we hae a group email id.
I have put the details of the smtp server / ip address / and said apply restarted.
The i created a simple test script as below :
print (' Before email ' );
smtp_to('abc@company_name.com', 'Job ' || job_name() ||' on ' || host_name() || ' has FAILED',
' the job has failed', 0, 0);
print('After Email ');
It does send a email to as per smtp_to whatever email is specified.
But how to differentiate between a job success
And a job which has failed.
I wish to have a mail which says on the subject :
'Job ' || job_name() ||' on ' || host_name() || ' has completed successfully'
==> IF it is a success
OR
'Job ' || job_name() ||' on ' || host_name() || ' has failed'
==> if it has failed
How to make the system identify, whether
to send a success message or a error message whatever
Could anyone advise.
thanks

My calendar on my iPhone 4 erases all data over a month old except for recurring events. How Do I get it to keep the info and not erase calendar events?

How can i check my mails on the iphone and make sure that the mail wont pop up again on my computer/ will be deleted on the server ?

For that kind of connectivity you need to be using an email account configured either as IMAP or Exchange.
IMAP & Exchange accounts will maintain a sync across all your devices, so if you read / delete a message on your phone, it will disappear from the server as well. This cannot happen in POP email accounts.
If your using gmail, instructions on how to set up exchange / imap are here http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138740&topic=14252
Alternatively, if its anything other than Google, you will need to contact your email providor or IT department (if your email address resides with an enterprise environment) to get the correct settings.
Hope this helps!
