XML Form Builder does not load

I am having the following problem, when executing the Form Builder tool under Content Management, it does not load and i get the following error message:
CONNECTION ERROR: couldn't read response code*
And sometimes the window gets freezed.
I have read some previous Threads regarding this issue but the solution did not work to me.
Someting really strange is happening because if i log to port 80 (http://...) it works, but when I log to port 50000 (https://...) it does not, and that error message pops up.
I have alredy run the Enviroment check Tool and results were OK in both urls, as follows:

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.

Compiling fmb module in Form builder does not change the fmx file

Hi,
I am using Oracle Forms Builder version 10.1.2.0.2 To edit 10g2 forms.
In the last month, it happened twice that an fmb file I edited in the forms builder did not change the fmx aftrer compilation.
namely, when I opened the fmx file in the application, I didn't see the changes, but they were present in the fmb form opened in the Form Builder.
Usually when we have the fmx file open in the application, the form builder won't let me compile it - showing the following error:
FRM-30087: Unable to create form file
When this error happens and the changes are not reflected, this error message doesn't appear even though the fmx file is open in the application.
I tried deleting the fmx file, and then opening it in the application to see if there is another copy of it.
The application gave an error 40010 - can't read form.
When I recompiled the file, the fmb didn't show any changes either, even though the file was created again in the file system.
I could not find a way to consistently reproduce this problem.
Did you ever encounter such a problem?
I noticed the edit -> preferences -> general menu has the option to "save befor building".
Does it mean the Form Builder keeps a cached copy of the fmb in memory, and when this error happens it compiles the original file system fmb file rather than the cached memory copy with the changes?
Thanks,
Eyal Azran
Configuration Management Engineer - Isracard

Hey Craig,
Thank you for your response.
I verified the version of the forms on the Application Server and they are the same.
This problem is quite tricky to reproduce, it happens once every few months!
(we have about 10 developers, who are developing and testing on multiple servers - so far two of the servers showed this issue)
I've determined that the reason this happens is that:
1. The compiled fmx is vied in the application.
** for some reason, the frmweb.exe process on the server does not terminate properly **
2. The developer compiles the form again in Form Builder
3. The Form Builder does not detect that the form is open in the mal-terminated process
There usually is an error message here saying the fmx module is locked - this error happens because this message is not displayed.
I will attach an image of the process monitoring tool we use ( ProceXP ) showing the ghost process that locks the fmx module.
<edit>oops, I guess I can't attach the image- I can e-mail it if you'd like</edit>
If anyone has an idea for a solution, this will help immensely.

Xml form builder- DataSchema not expanding

Hi Experts,
I am facing a strange issue in XML form builder.
When i am trying to expand DataSchema root node by clicking on the + sysmbol. It is not expanding.
Is there any particular setting or what for this. I have tried this many time but unable to expand data Scheme and not able to create any nodes under DataSchema.
Please help me in resolving this issue.

Forms applet does not load when request forwarded from custom servlet

I have an existing forms app that I wish to call from a newly-developed servlet. The servlet determines which form to call and then forwards the request to the forms servlet using RequestDispatcher.forward().
The request is forwarded correctly but when it is done all I see is a blank browser (IE7) window. When I View Source I see all the correct HTML code (from basejpi.htm) but it seems my browser does not attempt to load the forms applet. No messages are displayed in the Java Console. This is the same HTML that comes back if I run the forms app directly, e.g. click a link that goes straight to the forms servlet URL, only in that case the forms app starts up fine.
Anyone know why this does not work?

Figured out what is going on:
In basejpi.htm there is "<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JavaScript SRC=java/forms_ie.js>" that creates an OBJECT tag to load the forms applet. I believe since the context of my custom servlet is different than that of the forms servlet, forms_ie.js is not found when the request is forwarded from my servlet.
One question answered raises another. There is also an OBJECT tag inside a NOSCRIPT tag for machines where scripting has been disabled:

<NOSCRIPT>
<OBJECT name=FormsApplet
type="application/x-java-applet"
...>
</NOSCRIPT>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" SRC="java/forms_ie.js"></SCRIPT>
My thinking is to remove the NOSCRIPT tag, and also the SCRIPT tag mentioned above, so all machines will simply see the OBJECT tag, like so:

<OBJECT name=FormsApplet
type="application/x-java-applet"
...>
This makes me wonder why the SCRIPT option is there to begin with. Anyone see a downside to this approach?

In XML form builder data schema not clickable

Hi ,
I have installed JRE version 1.6.0_07. When i click on xml foms builder ,it gets opened but when i click on data schema it's not clickable but icon is displayed next to data schema.I am not able to create any node in data schema.
Regards.
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?

Unable to preview - XML Forms builder

Hello gurus,
please forgive the silly question as I'm completely a newbie on the argument.
I'm trying to implement a news iview in Portal; I found an exaustive and intesting How-to guide that designs exactly my scenario:
How to Create XML Forms (NW2004)
However, I tried to start from the existing SAP_DemoNews project doing some little modifications in order to include a society logo.
So, I opened SAP_DemoNews project and did a Save as... to MyTemplateNews project.
However, even though the project seems correct as there are no errors in the generate() phase, I cannot see a preview of any module as the windows which is opened contains the following message:
XML - Forms
Item /documents/xmlforms/xfbuilder/preview/MyTemplateNews.xml does not exist
I guess there's something wrong with paths and configuration, but didn't found any reference searching the forum; could anyone provide me an help to work with previews?

Hi Matteo,
> preview works correctly on the EDIT form, while still crashes on the Show and RenderListItem forms
"the preview function in the XML Forms Builder is not supported for the RenderListItem form" (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/42/f6733c20e73247e10000000a11402f/frameset.htm)
But for Show it should work, and you said it does for standard forms delivered by SAP!?
For the default trace, you can use the log viewer in VisualAdmin (7.0) or the log viewer in NWA (7.0/7.3). VA: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/57/5f1140d72dc442e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm; NWA: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw73/helpdata/en/47/af4560fa711503e10000000a42189c/frameset.htm
Contact your basis people for further information; maybe they can check if the traces throw some insight...
Hope it helps

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
Edited by: Ganesh Natarajan on Jun 22, 2008 3:03 PM

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.

Property not loaded in XML form builder

Hi,
I am trying to create a new application in XML form builder. I have created few custom properties in KM. I want to use those properties to map to the field in XML application. But i see that under teh data model, I am not able to see any properties from KM. When i click reload properties nothing gets loaded. Also when i right click on DataSchema, menu doesnt appear. What could be the problem?
Regards,
P188071

Hi!
You probably have to create a property group and a property structure in the Property Structure Service of km configuration first.
See here for more details:

JDEV 10.1.3 XML Editor does not load XML file

I am trying to edit a large (300MB+) xml file with JDEV 10.1.3 running on a Windows XP Pro workstation with a 2.8 ghz processor and 1GB of memory. The XML file has application data in it. The file loads just fine into the Oracle database using the XML Developer's toolkit so I don't thing there is anything wrong with the XML.
I'm finding that the XML editor does not load the file. Many minutes elapse, then JDEV appears to simply give up - JDEV is no longer busy. There's no XML data to edit - that window is empty. There are no error messages displayed.
I'm new to JDEV so I need to know if there is an error log file I should examine.
BTW, other XML editors (XML Spy, Stylus Studio, etc) simply run out of memory and lock up the machine - it appears they are tryign to convert the XML file contents into 32-bit unicode in memory, build a list of pointers to impose a DOM-like structure, and then load their editor.

Do you really want to manually edit the 300MB file? how much scrolling will you need to do to get to the last row?
In any case it is likely that JDeveloper also runs out of memory - you can try running the [jdev-root]\jdev\bin\jdev.exe file and see if you get any error message in the log window.

Xml does not load in browser

i made an applet that loads an .xml to get data. it works fine when i compile it in netbeans but when i try to use it in my browser in does not load the xml. Tha paths are ok. Is there something that could be done?

Is the XML file on the local hard drive?
By default applets cannot read local media (like the hard drive). You can get around that by signing the applet and having the user permit signed applets to read local media (which may or may not be the default; I don't know).
A possibly better solution is to rework your applet so it either comes bundled with the XML file (say, in the jar file it's deployed in), or have it retrieve the XML from the server it came from. Both of these solutions do not require signing the applet or having the user give special permission.

Applet does not load in IE when hosted in form via SHDocVw.dll

Hi
I have a signed applet that usually works well in IE and Mozilla FireFox.
It shows a popup window with the security question Yes/No/Always and works great thereafter.
However
We have now developed a Vb.Net application which hosts the SHDocVw.dll and now when for example I navigate to the web page within this embedded browser control from Microsoft the applet does not load and the popup window does not appear, when trying to access it via clientside scriptring it does not find the applet object.
// this fails when called from embedded browser control
<script>
document.applets[0].prepareControl();
</script>
Please help me I would really like to get the applet to work when using this new vb.net application with the embedded browser control because it is becoming our company's standard to hos apps in this new app and not open a new instance of IE for each application.
Thanks

What does the trace say?
To turn the full trace on (windows) you can start the java console, to be found here:
C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4...\bin\jpicpl32.exe
In the advanced tab you can fill in something for runtime parameters fill in this:
-Djavaplugin.trace=true -Djavaplugin.trace.option=basic|net|security|ext|liveconnect
if you cannot start the java console check here:
C:\Documents and Settings\userName\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment\deployment.properties
I think for linux this is somewhere in youruserdir/java (hidden directory)
add or change the following line:
javaplugin.jre.params=-Djavaplugin.trace\=true -Djavaplugin.trace.option\=basic|net|security|ext|liveconnect
for 1.5:
deployment.javapi.jre.1.5.0.args=-Djavaplugin.trace\=true -Djavaplugin.trace.option\=basic|net|security|ext|liveconnect
The trace is here:
C:\Documents and Settings\your user\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment\log\plugin...log
I think for linux this is somewhere in youruserdir/java (hidden directory)
Print out the full trace of the exception:
try{...}catch(Exception e){e.printStackTrace();}
If no trace is created my guess is that the jre is never started, try the <object tag
instead for your applet (html page) because your browser tries to run the applet with msjvm.

Hi Lorcan.
So what exactly happens when you try to start XML Forms builder, do you get an actual error or does it just not start at all?
> Actually the News are not getting displayed . The HTML (Html tages)are not getting rendered properly in XML Form Builder.
This news are perfectly working in other environment (Dev/Qlty) but not in Production .. where i am facing the issue of rendering the news ( not in correct format as expected)
It is appearing as link. where as in my other environment the Text in proper HTML format.
(Link of News appearing in production) whereas in Dev/Qlty proper text with Heading/Font/Colour appears. Or are you only seeing errors when you run the environment check?
> I am getting the errors when running the environment check on in Production but not in Development/Quality.
Did you try it on different clients or with different users? Is this a new installation or have you recently upgraded? Are all your components on the same SP level?
> This is new installation but SP level are exactly same across the system(Dev/Qlty/Prod).
Also the check the settings and found proper..
Root Directory * /usr/sap/<System-ID>/SYS/global/config/cm/etc*
Please let me know am I missing something..
Why its not running on my production system.

Problem starting XML Forms Builder

Hi
I have a SAP EP 6.0 SP2 Patch 28 portal where I newly implemented the how to guide "How To Secure Permissions fro Initial Content In SAP EP 6.0 SP2".
In this guide I need to create a new Content Manager role, due to a SAP Note 775117.
All this seems ok, but now I am not able to start the XML Forms Builder.
I am getting an error message that says something about the <b>"Access is denied:com.sap.portal.system/applications/com.sap.km.cm/components/xfbuilder - security zone:medium_safety/Com.sap.km.cm"</b>
I have tried out several ways, then the recommendation, of implementing to get this application to be loaded, but unfortunately - this does not work.
Have anyone else reach some problem regarding this issue??
Regards
Kay-Arne

hi
navigate to systemconfiguration security Zone and to the folder as specified and change the security zone to low safety .also check with acl editor

Site does not load after some minutes of creation or after restart the server

Hello,
I have been asked to create a test enviroment identical to the production enviroment. So, what I did was:
Backed up the production web application's content database: Prod_WSS_ContentDB
Created new test servers (domain controller, sql server and sharepoint 2013 server) in a new, completely isolated, network environment, without any connection with the production environment (specifically Azure)
Created a new web application in test environment with a new content database.
Dismounted the new content database with powershell: Dismount-spcontentdatabase Test_WSS_Content
Copy the Prod_WSS_ContentDB database to the test sql server and restored it with Management Studio.
Mount the Prod_WSS_ContentDB databe to the web application with powershell:
Mount-spcontentdatabse Prod_WSS_ContentDB -WebApplication http://testsp/
Then, when I type http://testsp in the browser it redirects me to http://testsp/SitePages/Home.aspx
and the site loads exactly as the production environment.
But, after some minutes, or if I restart the Sharepoint Server, when I navigate to
http://sitesp I am redirected to http://testsp/SitePages/Home.aspx
as expected, but the site does not load, the browser just show a complety blank page.
The Central Administration site loads normally.
Trying to fix it I found that if I dismount the content database Prod_WSS_ContentDB, then mount the test database Test_WSS_Content,
then navigate to the site, dismount Test_WSS_Content and finally mount again Prod_WSS_ContentDB, the site loads normally, no blank page, but after some minutes or if I restart the same happens again.
For the error event I receice in event viewer it seems that the problem is related to database. I have not found a solution for this error... How can I solve this?
The error is:

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that Site does not load after some minutes of creation or after restart the server.
Please make sure you create a test environment for existing production site correctly.
Here are some great articles for your reference:
