A new form calling a workflow - how!?

Hey,
I am having trouble getting a new form to call a new workflow. Can anyone show me an example?
Thanks

I have now sorted this problem....
I had to add the process to the Anonymous User Tasks (one items with a hammer in the repository list of the BPE)

<Configuration id='#ID#Configuration:AnonymousUserTasks' name='Anonymous User Tasks' lock='Configurator#1137403812343' creator='%STARTUP%Configurator' createDate='1125418979453' lastModifier='Configurator' lastModDate='1137403512171' lastMod='203'>
<Extension>
<List>
<List>
<String>HMRC Activate Account</String>
</List>
</List>
</Extension>
<MemberObjectGroups>
<ObjectRef type='ObjectGroup' id='#ID#Top' name='Top'/>
</MemberObjectGroups>
<Properties>
<Property name='editorOriginalName' value='Anonymous User Tasks'/>
</Properties>
</Configuration>
Also I had to give the Process an Authorization Type of EndUserTask: (authType=EndUserTask - which can be set in the BPE using the gui rather than editing the xml direct - The repository tab has am Athorization Type input field)

<TaskDefinition authType='EndUserTask' id='#ID#83C73894692744DA:974600:1089EC7FF41:-7F69' name='HMRC Activate Account' creator='Configurator' createDate='1137403342156' lastModifier='Configurator' lastModDate='1137403457906' lastMod='379' taskType='Workflow' executor='com.waveset.workflow.WorkflowExecutor' suspendable='true' syncControlAllowed='true' execMode='sync' execLimit='0' resultLimit='0' resultOption='delete' visibility='runschedule' progressInterval='0'>

Help on how to call a new form

Anyone there that can help me how to call a new form...
Actually I have 3 forms.... the Parent, and 2 child...
child a
child b
I used JFrame to the Parent...
I used JDialog to the child....
I want to know how to call child a by the child b.....
this is my code in calling them....
when i'm in the form_b, i used this code to show form_a....
form_a a = new form_a();
a.setVisible(true);
when i'm in the form_a, i used this code to show form_b....
form_b b = new form_b();
b.setVisible(true);
but the problem is when i call either of the two, there's always a new form for form_a and also for form_b....
I want to call the form without opening a new form... that form also will be visible... is there anyways i can do this.... any help will do.... tenks....

One way would be to have the parent maintain instances of A & B and have public methods for accessing A & B. Something like this. You would have to pass a reference to the parent class to A & B so that they can call the access methods.
public class form_a extends JDialog{
   public form_a (Parent parent){
public class Parent extends JFrame{
   form_a a;
   form_b b;
   public Parent(){
      a = new form_a (this);
      b = new form_b (this);
   public form_a getFormA(){
        return form_a;
   public form_b getFormB(){
       return form_b;
}

New Window for Form called from a form based on a procedure

Hi
I have a form that is based on a procedure that asks for an employee number. The number is then passed to the procedure. The procedure then calls the next form passing in the employee number.
This works however I would like the form called from the procedure to open in a new window while still being able to pass in the employee number as a parameter.
Is there a way to do this? I have tried looking at wwa_app_module.new_instance & wwv_media.show_newwindow but I these only take the moduleid, I can't see how to pass in the employee number at the same time.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Belinda

Hi,
You can pass parameters like this
wwv_redirect.url('SJAYARAM_9042F.wwa_app_module.link?p_arg_names=_moduleid&p_arg_values=1060253649&p_arg_names=deptno&p_arg_values=10&p_arg_names=_deptno_cond&p_arg_values=%3d');
In this example the parameter deptno is passed with a value 10 and conditional operator '='
Hope that helps.
Thanks,
Sharmila

How can i change the code in when new form instance trigger using JDAPI

Hi all,
Can anyone tell me how can i use JDAPI to modify the when-new-form-instance trigger in all my forms,coz we have around 500 FMB's ,if this is possible by using jdapi it will be better for us..
Thanks in advance..
Najeeb

Hi Najeeb,
The code I've given you should cover the basic steps - you will need to have a basic knowledge of Java if you want to use the JDAPI, there's no way around that unless you go and buy one of the off-the-shelf products for this kind of thing (I think there's one called orcltoolbox..?)
I've written an application that does all kinds of things to Forms specific to our needs, so it's a bit tricky to just pull out the code you need, but again, the basics will be:
String formName="C:\some_dir\some_form.fmb";
FormModule mForm=FormModule.open(formName);
Trigger myWNFITrig=Trigger.find(mForm,"WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE");
String myText=myWNFITrig.getTriggerText();
And there you have your trigger text, to do with what you please. You could put this code in the main() method of one class if you want to keep things really simple - but see how you get on, if you have any more specific questions, do come back.
Eric - that's a very good point about using Regular Expressions. I haven't used them in my JDAPI app because I wanted to keep all my .fmbs 6i-compatible for the short-term, and a posting I saw somewhere recommended sticking to Java 1.3. Which rules out the regex facility, which only appeared in Java 1.4. Now, though, I think I needn't have worried - it surely shouldn't matter which version of Java I use to make the changes to the .fmbs. My stupid!

Calling Adobe form in a Workflow Step for approval

Hello,
There are some ISR forms and workflows in MSS which use Workflow tasks configured as JavaWebDynpro to call Adobe form from the Workflow Step.
Is it possible to achieve the same using ABAP Web Dynpro and creating a new task and configuring to use it as an ABAP Web Dynpro (which can in turn call the Adobe form from the WD)?
Thanks.

Hi Anjali,
1)You can develop an RFC that collects required basic data from R/3 and display them in ABAP WD - Adobe Form. The End user can change/fill the remaining contents of the Adobe Form and submits it for approval. The RFC again handles the triggering part of the Workflow and passes the form data to the workflow containers.And for approvals, you can use the SWFVISU to call a ABAP WD application from Workflow. And in turn the control again goes back to RFC and so...
2)I dont have much idea in ECC 60 if there is a similar ABAP WD application like Standard Java WD IsrFormApprove.
3)No idea.

Raja Sekhar

Can we call a workflow form a JSP and/or form a Java Class?

Is it possible to call a workflow form a JSP and/or form a Java Class?

Below is some xpress code I wrote once, used to dynamically lauch workflows from within a workflow. Since it basically uses java classes, you reuse these in your java program or jsp:
- create a new generic object
- call the setId, put, ... methods on it
- set the input variables for the workflow by putting them into the generic object
- call the checkinView method on a LighthouseContext object which launches your workflow.
If all you need is starting a workflow from a jsp, you might also want to take a look at the tasks/taskLaunch.jsp jsp. This is an out of the box jsp which allows launching of tasks. If I remember correctly you have to give an url parameter which specificies the name of task you want to start: tasks/taskLaunch.jsp?id=<workflow-name>

2010 Review Approval Workflow Error - Outlook cannot open a new form

Hi,
I set up an Approval - SharePoint workflow on a document library list in a webpart. When the approver got the email and tried to approve from outlook, she received the following error. She has approved documets in the past for the same page.
Can anyome please help me troubleshoot this? So much appreciated!
Word Error:
Could not open. http://<site ulr> _layouts/formsResource.aspx?templateFile=http://<site url_catalogs/wfpub/Approval - SharePoint 2010/Review Approval_Task_1033.xsn
Outlook Error:
Outlook cannot open a new form. To open the file, access to the folliwng form template is required
http://<site ulr> _layouts/formsResource.aspx?templateFile=http://<site url_catalogs/wfpub/Approval - SharePoint 201o/Review Approval_Task_1033.xsn

can she open the approval form in web browser instead of Outlook?
According to the error message, it seems that the user does not have permission for the file http://<site url/_catalogs/wfpub/Approval - SharePoint 201o/Review Approval_Task_1033.xsn.
can she open see this file in SharePoint designer 2010? that is, open the site with SharePoint designer and navigate to All Files->_catalogs->wfpub->Approval - SharePoint 201o. If she can not see the file there, ask the workflow creator to publish
the workflow again. I had experienced strange issue in SharePoint designer 2007 and solved by check out all the workflow files and check in again

How to increase count in a text increases on each new form submitted?

Hi All,
I have a field in infopath form as 'RefNo', whenever new form submitted, it count should increase. How to achieve this scenario?
Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure if you can do this to display on form load, but you could do this on submit and edit form.
Refer to the following posts,

WebUtil doesn't work when called from WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE trigger

I need WEBUTIL_CLIENTINFO functions to know some information from the client, like IP, JavaVersion, Hostname, OS user, etc. This functions I call through WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE TRIGGER and this doesn't nor work. I obtain the next message and error:
oracle/forms/webutil/clientinfo/GetClientInfo.class not found. WEBUTIL_CLIENTINFO.GET_IP_ADDRESS.
But when I call this WebUtil functions through WHEN-WINDOW-ACTIVATED trigger or through a button it works. Why?. I need call WebUtils in the WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE trigger!
Any help will be of great value.

Basically make a timer...
Do you have the wu_test_106.fmb file that comes with the webutil install?
If you look in the wnfi trigger you will see this...
declare
     fake_timer TIMER;
begin
     -- Purpose of the fake timer is the we cannot call webutil in this trigger since the
     -- beans have not yet been instantiated. If we put the code in a when-timer-expired-trigger
     -- it means that this timer will not start running until Forms has focus (and so the webutil
     -- beans will be instantiated and so call canbe made.
     fake_timer:= CREATE_TIMER('webutil',100,NO_REPEAT);
     --create_blob_table;
     null;
end;And in the form level when-timer-expired you will see this...
     :global.user_home := webutil_clientinfo.get_system_property('user.home');
     :OLE.FILENAME := :global.user_home||'\temp.doc';
     SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('builtins.text_io_item',PROMPT_TEXT,'Write to '||:global.user_home||'\helloworld.txt');
     SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('files.userdothome',PROMPT_TEXT,:global.user_home);
