XML Form Builder Date validation

Hi,
I have an news application to be developed in XML Form Builder. I am creating News Author part of it. It has an Date field where i have to do an validation like the user cannot enter date less than the current date. I can perform simple data type validation through the form builder. Can I perform the above said validation in XML form builder or is there an work around in getting this done.
Thanks in advance....
Regards,
Ganesh

I guess XML Forms builder is not able to do this. You will need to create your own predefined properties for the dates and develop a metadata extension to check that the date is the correct range.

Adity.

Hi,
my problem is simular to Aditys: My Java Version is JRE 1.6.0_15. When I go to Content Managment --> Formbuilder, the XML Forms Builder starts automatically but it is not possible to open Data Schema. After downgrade to Java 1.4 I can not start the Form Builder, that means, after clicking on "Form Builder" in the Portal, a pop-up opens, but the XML Form Builder does not load.
Can you help me?

XML Form Builder-How to access data saved from a form?

Hi All,
I created a form in XML Form Builder. This form include checkboxes and input fields.
Also i include a Save button.
I used this form in a iView.
Many users will access this iView and save their input data.
So, after the user Save this data, in the KM folder , is created a XML form where i can see the inputed data.
So for every user's Save is created a XML form .
The question is,
how can i collect all these data for each created XML form, so as i can process them?
Please i will appreciate if anybody has any documentation or can give me step-by step instruction .
I am new in EP .
Regards
Ari

Hello Avinash,
You can directly use query in form personalization Conditions like
select date_probation_end from per_assignments_x where person_id = :PERIOD_OF_SERVICE.PERSON_ID
and put in your condition like if you want to validate Probation end date is less then sysdate then in condition put in like.
TRUNC(SYSDATE) < (select TRUNC(date_probation_end) from per_assignments_x where person_id = :PERIOD_OF_SERVICE.PERSON_ID)
set the error message.

Hi Ennius,
The timestamp control enables the input of the date and time. You can use this control to create u2018valid fromu2019 and u2018valid untilu2019 fields in order to restrict the lifetime of objects for time-based publishing.
You can refer to this help links for more details .

hi,
I opened the schema of this particular application in the KM. I edited the tag for the particular application and included my restriction, so that the validation could occur. I did the same for string field in restricting the no of characters and found to be sucessful. But the same doesnt work for date field...
The tag goes like this
<element name="ExpiryDate" default="" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" type="date" ns="default"><simpleType><restriction base="date"><minInclusive value="01/01/2009"/></restriction></simpleType></element>
Usually you dont have this restriction.....I have added the tag in bold.....But still validation doesnt occur.....What is the format in which date is stored????
The same worked for string field as shown below. I can restrict the entry to just 5 characters depending upon the restriction, I make in the schema.....
element name="Courtesy" default="" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" type="string" ns="default"><simpleType><restriction base="string"><maxLength value="5"/></restriction></simpleType></element>
How can i apply the same to date field???
Any inputs from Consultants worked in Form Builder??
Thanks & Regards,

Custom Actions in XML Forms Builder

Hello everyone,
We are starting a project to replace our current intranet with Enterprise Portal + KM + Collaboration. Our current intranet has many interactive foms developed as ASP pages for doing thinks like requesting new user ID's etc. These forms are attached to a workflow engine (Ultimus) where they trigger various workflow processes. I am exploring wherther or not these existing ASP based forms can be replaced by XML forms developed on the form builder.
Can XML forms be developed that trigger external actions like generatating a workflow? I have not found anything in the documentation so far that would indicate how this is accomplished?
Thanks,
-Matt Schababerle

Thank you Detlev, that is what Im looking for.
I knew that XML forms are primarily for document creation. I'm just trying to think 'out of the box' and find a way to convert all the ASP forms we have to a standard, portal-based format.
The forms I am reviewing are mostly simple pages that would basically validate and save the form data, then kick off a single workflow task. For existing forms, we will utilize URL iViews and link to the existing form.
For new forms, it sounds like we could probably make the XML forms builder work, but would probably be better off just creating basic .jsp or web dynpro pages to handle the data validation and external workflow submission. What do you think?
Thanks for your help!

Hi Anish
You can make the standard settings and modify the XML forms builder in line with your requirements in the options. You can set the standard paths for your project on the Paths tab page.
To get a clear understanding, please go through this link.

Behavior of XML Form Builder after SP 13 upgrade

Dear Experts,
We are working on E.P 7.0 SP 10 and we've recently applied SP 13 and started testing the system.
What we found on XML Form Builder is, we are unable to add schema (under Data Model) to the project.
Can some one help us where exactly went wrong.
Best Regards,
Satyadev

Hi,
i think, i have faced the same problem recently.
I had the problem that i saw the 3 categorys: namespace,data schema and properties.
But i couldn't open them by clicking on them. This is also your problem?
What i did with lots of hours of testing.
1.Once you have managed to add something to the data schema you are fine. Then it will always be opened. ( Try opening an existing project and you will see that.)
So you could open an old project and modify this.
2. It is still possible to open the Data Schema. I don't know where to click exactly but i click like 100s of times on the symbol of Data Schema and with a little bit of luck it opens. If it doesn't work, i restart the Forms Builder and i try again.

Marcus

Hi Leah,
Have you tried double clicking?
If this doesn't solve the issue, you might want to try using a different version of the browser and disable the pop up blocker on your browser.
Please try this out and let me know.

Be sure that you got JRE version is lower than 1.6

Hello,
Immediately after opening the XML forms editor from the Content Manager page, you will get a link Start Environment Check Tool.... Click on that and proceed for a check. It will take some 5-10 mins based on your connection speed.If every thing is successful, clear the browser cache and restart the browser and open forms editor again. It will open the data schema and properties filed and project browser and all.
I was having this problem just now and i resolved it with the above steps.
My JRE version is 1.6 and portal is EP 7 SPS 21 patched.

BP
