I'm newbie to SDK. I've created an UDO for a user table of object type master data and Default form is created. now i want to enter data into that by using SDK. How can this be done.
Thanks in advance

It's not clear to me what's you need to do.
If you want to use UDO, for simple data editing, you doesn't need to use SDK.
If your needs are more complex, I suggest you to build your own form with screen painter and with SDK write the necessary code for the addon.
I can send you some example if you need.
Bye.

Importing data into dynamic form

I have not yet had a chance to work with LiveCycle, and I have been given a project which I need to determine if LiveCycle would be the correct solution. The client originally wanted this to be a Microsoft Word form, but I doubt that I can meet the requirements using Word.
I need to design a form which a user can enter multiple line items either manually, or by importing existing data. The data itself would be about 40-50 distinct pieces of data, in a block of several sections and multiple lines (i.e Name, Address block, Phone/fax/email, contact and comment section, etc) and would be a combination of text fields and checkboxes. There would be 2-3 of these blocks per page (with a static header/footer), plus a cover page with data fields for the organization using the form.
I know that I could create this type of dynamic form in LiveCycle to be entered manually, but I don’t know what options, if any, I would have in giving the user the ability to import existing data from an unknown source (could be a text file, a local or hosted database, excel, etc.).
My questions are about the feasibility of LiveCycle for this project:
Can data be imported from a data source the user chooses? Are there any limitations to what kinds of data sources can be used? Would I need to program a custom function to allow the user to match the proper fields for the import, or is there a built in function to handle this?
Would there be any platform/application limitations? Can the form be used with Reader on a desktop computer (Mac or PC), or on a tablet (and if so, is a specific app necessary instead of the default app)?
Are there any other foreseeable issues I may have to deal with?

Thanks for the info. A few followup questions if you don't mind:
1. Needs to configure an ODBC-connection on every system it is used.
This form will be sent to our client, and they will send it to their customers. Can the connection setup be scripted, or is it simple enough that a generic set of instruction can be given to the end user to allow them to setup the connection and map their fields to the form's content easily?
2. Requires Acrobat or a reader-enabled from to use in Reader. Data is automatically populated in the form fields. Only xml files for import allowed. Allows to use XSLT to format imported data.
I doubt that the end user would have their data in a compatible XML format, so this option may not be necessary. Is Reader-enabling a form in LiveCycle comparable to the process in Acrobat? I have heard LiveCycle Enterprise is very expensive and required for certain functions, does this apply here? Does this require a specific server setup for these forms?
3. Difficult scripting to update field values automatically. Works in Reader and Acrobat.
The data would not need to be updated automatically, just pull current data into the form. This would be a one-way operation, there would be no need to update the data source from values within the form. I would still need to give the user a way to map their fields to the form.
Are you aware of any tutorials or example files that would help give me a start? I had a brief look at the LiveCycle Designer ES2 Scripting Reference, but I"m not sure which objects to look into.
None of these methods will work on mobile devices as there is currently no support of XFA in Reader Mobile.
Good to know. The same is probably true if I were to create the form in Word/Office.

Merging Excel data into a form created in LiveCycle

Hello,
I've made a form in LiveCycle. The first of the 5 pages I want to pre-populate with data before I distribute the final form. My data is in Excel and I have ensured that the header titles match the field names on the form. Could someone help me to get the data into the form please. I'm pretty new to xml and have found following the Help difficult.
Thanks

Import data into a form in Acrobat Pro X

Have followed directions on importing data in text format into a form in Acrobat Pro X . Does not work. Is it possible to import a large amount of data into a form and have multiple forms created? Very frustrating and disappointing.

Here's a recent topic that discusses this type of thing: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3397600
Note that some of the code that was posted isn't correct, but you will see the general approach outlined. It does require some JavaScript programming. Have you done any before?

Fill data into a form programmatically and print the form afterwards

Folks,
until recently a lab assistant took measurements and filled the data into a paper form (see attached pdf). Now we are building a test stand that does the measurement semiautomatically. The software of the test stand will be programmed in LabVIEW, of course. The test stand shall generate a printed protocol very similar to the attached pdf in future as well.
What's the best way to fill the acquired data into the form and to print the form afterwards? The form can be read by our code in either pdf or html. There is no Microsoft Office installed on the computer.
Modifying the html code? Converting the pdf to a picture and fill the data into the picture? Any hint will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Peter

Hmmm... must have misunderstood what you were saying.
XSL is a language that allows you to generate an HTML document. The XSL basically defines the style, and the XML specifies the data. HTML is the combination. You can find out more here.
Unfortunately, since you don't have Office, you won't be able to use the ActiveX interface to control Word, so that's out.
With the template in HTML format you could use the DOM for an HTML file to set the value of the HTML elements. The easiest way to do this is to use IE (I'm assuming you're on Windows here) to open the HTML template and then you can use the DOM from there. As for how feasible this is, it would depend on your HTML format. Can you post the template in HTML format?
With the template in PDF format I know that some PDF files that are forms can be generated in such a way that they still act like forms when you open them in, say, Acrobat Reader. Acrobat has an ActiveX interface so you should be able to programmatically do this, but I can't say for sure. You can check the Adobe site for more info. You just need to make sure it doesn't require the full version of Acrobat.

Hi Robert,
Your problem starts here:
Set DepthMarker = myDocument.Textframes.Item
...which item? Item takes either an integer (the index of the item) or a string (the contents of the label property, if any).
Next, however, is that you should be more specific about *where* the text frame is in the document. What page or spread is it on? Let's say that the frame "DepthMarker" is on page 1:
Set DepthMarker = myDocument.Pages.Item(1).TextFrames.Item(1)
If there's only one frame on that page, you're in great shape. If not, you need to come up with some way to differentiate one frame from another. Script labels are a great way to do this. Let's say you've used the Script Label panel to add the label "DepthMarker" to the relevant frame on page 1, and added the label "WarningText" to another frame. In that case, you'd use something like this:
Set DepthMarker = myDocument.Pages.Item(1).TextFrames.Item("DepthMarker")(0)
Set WarningText = myDocument.Pages.Item(1).TextFrames.Item("WarningText")(0)
...When you use a string to refer to a page item by its label, InDesign returns an array, so you need to get the first item in the array (assuming that there's only one page item on the page with that label).
Hope this makes sense! I'm typing it off the top of my head because I have to go speak at a conference tomorrow and am short on time--but it should get you pointed in the right direction.
Thanks,
Ole

Copy & Paste data into Planning form in Workspace 11.1.2.2

Hi there!
I'm dealing with a weird problem with Planning 11.1.2.2 over workspace. I cannot paste copied data into data forms (whether I copy from an Excel sheet, a file, or another cell of the same form).
However, when I access Planning directly through :8300/HyperionPlanning/LogOn.jsp (old-styled Planning), pasting data works fine.
I tried using Ctrl + V and menu buttons, and didn't work.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Not sure which web browser you were working on, but this is from the 11.1.2.2 Known issues for Planning
12360405 -- With Firefox, you cannot copy and paste data from Microsoft Excel into a Planning form.
Hope this helps..!!

Adding data into a custom table through a report transaction

Is it possible to add data into a table through a report transaction. I have been asked to create a report in which when we add certain data in the selkection screen it updates thoses particular fields and the rest of the records can be fille dout in the output. Basically I have a customised allocation table called zalloc. I have to create a report with selection screen having receiving plant, material document of the original transfer psoting , issuning plant , line item number , batch, receiving and issuning storage location. I need to validate this against the mseg table and whatever entry I make in teh selection screen should update my zalloc table from here.
Can anyone help me with this please.
Thanks

Hi Aarav,
Yes, It is possible to add records to a table using a report transaction. You can use Update or Modify to insert records in a table.Convert the data fetched from the ZALLOC and convert it into an internal table of the same format as that of the ZALLOC table and simply do an
loop at itab_zalloc into wa_zalloc.
*INSERT INTO ZALLOC FROM WA_zalloc*.
endloop.
OR
INSERT ZALLOC FROM TABLE ITAB_ZALLOC
OR
UPDATE ZALLOC FROM TABLE ITAB__ZALLOC .
Update will modify if that record exist and returns sy-subrc as non zero if entry does not exist.
OR
MODIFY updates an existing DB entry or, in no matching entry exists, inserts a new entry into the DB table

How to Post Xml data into interactive form in web dynpro

Hi,
I want to be creating the xml source for web dynpro programatically.
This is because my adobe form is highly dynamic where even the kind of ui elements and the position is decided at runtime.
It is a highly interactive chart which I am planning.
I want to then bind this dynamically generated xml to the pdf.
Let me know your ideas.
Thanks,
Harish

Conclusion from my point of view:
1) You cannot have this thing interactive if you want to work with all the features of OM, if you want to cover all the details. In that case you need to create some tool for drawing the pictures for you and then only send the picture into the form. If anybody would like to do the changes you would add the table at the bottom of the page where a guy can say something like "chair A move under the big banana B" or "fire Mr. C, remove the position of Mr. C". That is probably the thing I would go for
2) I am afraid you or your employer do not understand how the Adobe forms work. This is possible, but as I said before, that would be a nightmare for the developer (I cannot tell the price, would start with like 20 MDs).
3) If you would like to mimic some existing solution and don´t want to buy that, then it´s ok for me. But don´t try to re-create the existing .NET or Java stuff in ABAP. I am skilled Java programmer and I can tell the freedom and the speed of the development is quite different. If the customer/ boss insist on developing such thing, use WEB development, go for PURE JAVA (I would go this way), use Java Connector in a JSP/ J2EE stuff and then incorporate the result into the portal.
Hope that clarifies the problem a little,
regards Otto

Error when adding data into ODS

I have created a SS->Info area->Infoobject catalog->Info objects->Application component->Info source->ODS->Info cube.This is how i have created my structure.And i have created the appropriate transfer rules and update rules.And am choosing automatic update of data into the info cube.Say i have a set of 10 transactional data which i am loading and i have choosen initialize delta process and initilization with data transfer in the update and i have loaded the data.I get the correct resulting my 10 datas in the infocube but when i am trying to add 5 more data along with this 10 and loading it in i am not getting the result it shows some error and i have choosen delta process in the update before loading..can some one tell me why i get a error.

Hi,
did you make settings in the "ODS Activate ODS data"?. if this was not done then then you have to activate manually then system will update data to cube automatically.
So you missed the settings for activation.
Hope this will help.
