Adobe Form Server 5.1 Memory Problems

FSService.exe increases memory when serving forms but never releases it.
The forms are of the Form Server type and they have several calls to an InHouse COM Component.
The COM Component was developed to encapsulate the calls to our Legacy systems via ODBC, COMTI, etc.
We have detected that the FSService releases the memory when serving forms that doesn't make calls to our COM Component.
We want to know if this behavior is normal when calling COM Components from the forms or is this a bug and if so if there is a way to solve it?
Thanks...

1) I don't know what you've typed in when installing... but I've never seen that message. Are you using any language specific characters ?
Do you get the error after this screen ?
<b>
The suffix is the root of your directory tree. You may have more than
one suffix.
Suffix [dc=sun,dc=com]:
</b>
If yes, then this means that the value you typed in is not a valid DN... and you must enter a valid one.
2)The Directory Server is installed under /usr/iplanet but the database is under /var/iplanet/ds5 and configuration is under /etc/iplanet/ds5 ...
You can use symbolic links if you want to move things around.
3) You mean you downloaded the tar.gx file of iDS 5.1 and install it on Solaris 9... No problem, I do this every day. As long as you have right to create directories and files, you should be able to install as anyone. If not, you should install as root and then let the server run as a special user.
4) Solaris 9 comes with iDS5.1 packages already installed. But the server is not configured at all.
Running directoryserver setup allows you to configure it and create the database, accounts...
Running directoryserver uninstall remove the instance of the installed database... It doesn't remove the packages. You can start again a setup...
By the way, I think that iDS 5.1 on Solaris 9 comes with the full documentation... May be you should start by reading it.

Activation of Adobe Form takes too long / XML problem?

Dear all,
I copied a standard form to customer name a year ago with life cycle designer version 7. The designer was updated to 8.
When making a change to the adobe form now, the activation takes more than 30 minutes in some cases. I copied the original form again and the activation takes less than 3 minutes.
When calling the XML Coding-tab within the designer it also takes very long and in some cases the system crashes ....
Has anyone an idea why this happens and if there is anything that i can do with changing attributes or other settings? I also tried to copy the copied form again. Same problem. Only when copying the standard form the activation is normal. I made too many changes so to start over again would take long. I would like to avoid this.
Thank you!
Regards
Viktoria

Hi,
I could not solve this. Had to create the form again. Tried to copy most of the elements into it.
Now it works again and is activated within 1-2 minutes.
So no real solution...

Adobe Pixelbender / Photoshop CS4 graphics / memory problems

I have been using my 4 year old MacBook Pro for rendering images (using the GPU) with a special pixelbenderscript and stitching these images together with photoshop CS4.
With mybrand new MacBook Pro, suddenly I get erratic behaviour when rendering the images, the whole screen gets covered with a mix of the image and parts of the desktop/application.
The next problem is the stiching of the images in PS CS4, where I get a "out of RAM" message where my old MacBook Pro did the work just fine (and I have 4GB RAM now, before only 3).
Is this a known issue? Any solution?
Regards
Johan

Go to this site and download the 9.9 driver set. The 9.5 driver set had a streaming problem that had to be fixed with a hotfix. I have the 4870 also and the 9.9 drivers are stable and have no issues with PS CS4 on vista 64 bit.
http://www.amd.com/us/Pages/AMDHomePage.aspx
Sometimes it is better not to change drivers if you don't have issues. But the 9.5 set has issues.
Make sure you un-install the old drivers. When you click on the Icon and start the install it will unpack as normal but you will come upon a screen to install or uninstall. Choose uninstall to remove the old driver package. Reboot. Then click on the icon again, it will unpack and you will get the screen again so choose install. Reboot after install.
If I remember correctly the 9.5 drivers, after install, did not show the reboot screen. You still have to reboot.

Printed Adobe Form - pagination and data content problem

I have been making changes to HR Appraisal Forms and all goes well except when I want to paginate a section.
The text is in a value string.
I define a flowed subform with direction Top to Bottom. binding None
Subform Pagination Place > Following Previous    After > Continue Filling Parent If Dataset Paginated > Goto content area (there is only one content arrea defined in this form
Allow Page breaks within content.
I have a table object within the Subform. Place > Following Previous    After > Continue Filling Parent If Dataset
The table has a Header row Place > Top of Next Page (this works fine) checked Include Header Row Initial Page and Subsequent Page
the Table row (body) Pagination Place > Following Previous    After > Continue Filling Parent If Dataset
When I test with more data than fits on page I get overflow and pagination with the Header on both pages.
The bad the data that overflows to the new page is the same from the start of the first page, it repeats. aso the second page has the content the length of what the overflow data would have been.
How do I get the data NOT to repeat from the beginning on the second page?   This should have been easy but I have tried almost everything to correct the problem EXCEPT define all the objects as subforms and use Acessibility to make them work as table or row. Please remember that I am NOT trying to make an interactive form and just want printed overflow.

Hi,
It allows the save as from a process point of view there speaks nothing against having long notes. And in the smartform print and in any other online UI in PM (R/3, BSP, WD) the notes are displayed correctly.
The PDF is just another UI component, and the only one with the issue. To be honest, I think the SAP note is a rubbish answer, and an easy way out. Yes, in general it is better to have short notes on element level and longer pieces of text in an attachment.
But logically speaking, the PDF thing is just plainly a bug.
But we can talk short or long about it, in the end SAP is the one with the final answer

LiveCycle Barcodes dont work in Form Server

Hi,
I've run into a strange problem. I designed a form using LC designer and added barcodes to it. The form is a multipage form and contains substantial amount of data. Since all this data cannot fit into one form, one the click of the submit button, the script reads all this data and breaks into smaller chunks which are then rendered as barcodes. In the PDF form this script does the job of generating barcodes on the click of the button. The same function is also called on the form load event to render the data incase the form is already populated (when viewed later).
However, when I deploy this form on Adobe form server, the bar codes are not generated properly. The PDF shows around 20 such barcodes, but when I run it through decoder, I only get one or two barcode tags which do not contain any data. Further, any app.alert() tags put in XDP can not make it the PDF generated by Form Server. The log from JBoss reports "app is undefined".
When I take the same XML file and specify it as the default XML file for the XDP template under properties and the test the form in Live Cycle designer, the form is rendered perfectly with all javascript alerts and barcodes with full XML data.
I'm totally stumped on this one. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Sanket

Hi,
How do I differentiate between a static PDF and PDF form? Is there any option in AFS or XDP? There are actually two versions of the form from users perspective. One is used for offline submission where users can fill up the form offiline in Acrobat Reader and click on the submit button to submit it. This version is working fine with all barcodes being generated properly. The other version is where users fill up online JSP and gets to view a final Read only PDF. This version also uses the same XDP. The servlet calls the EJB method passing in XML and XDP name. However, in this case, barcodes are not being generated properly.
I think you got my comment wrong for the XML. What I mean was that in my project, the previous architect had already designed some forms that way - with XML encoded in barcodes instead of delimited values. Since the design cannot be changed now, I had to carry his legacy of bad design in whatever new forms that I create as I cannot change the rest of the application.
I do agree and understand that delimited values are far more effective and efficient.
I'll post some debug messages in my next post when I return to my office tomorrow.
Thank you for your response.

How to display line items corresponding to Header adobe form

Hi ,
As I am new to Adobe Form, So struggling with below problem related with Adobe Form.
For example, I have data in an internal table :
Stage      item
100         A
100         B
100         C
200         D
200         E
Here you have for field 'Stage' value '100' , I have 3 line items, for value '200' , it is 2 line items and so on.
My requirement is , I have to show Stage field at top and corresponding line items should be displayed in table.
Stage: 100
item
A
B
C
Stage: 200
D
E
I have used Nested table concept to achieve it but didn't get expected output.
Please help me out.

Hi,
     If all of your line items are getting displayed in different pages, to my knowledge, there may be two possibilities.
1) May be the size of the main window can accomodate only one line item. If one item data fills up the window, then there wont' be any space for the next line item data to be accomodated in the same window in the same page, so, the system triggers the next page. Like-wise for each item data. If this is the case, increase the height of the main window to display items in same page.
2) Check the driver program. Find the Write_form block, which is written inside an item loop. May be there is a Form-control Function module( Control_form with parameter 'NEW-PAGE' ) being called after the write_fom block, within the loop. If this is the case, remove the control_form FM section to make the data display in same page.

Use the floating field in Adobe.
Use a Static Text Field and Insert the Field EMPLOYEE_DETAIL-PERIOD from your Data View

Problem while using an adobe form "Unable to fulfil request for memory"

Hi Experts,
When I try to call a Adobe Form from the porta,l the system encounters a problem and the error message is "Unable to fulfil request for 3665920 bytes of memory space.".Could yopu please provide you valuable suggestion to resolve the issue.
Thanks.
Arun.

Hey fellow ADS developer,
I had this issue once and had hard time to figure out from where it was coming!
In fact, check the free space on your SAP Server hard disk (or ask admin guys). It might be that there is no more hard disk! Because every time you generate a form, it is stored on your server harddisk. You need to flush all that temp stuff regularly.
Hope this helps

Memory Problems with Adobe PDF iFilter for 64-bit

In preparation to rebuild my Windows Search Index, I installed the Adobe PDF iFilter for 64-bit on my system (Vista Business 64). When I finally rebuilt the index, I wasn't too surprised by what I saw happen, namely, the SearchFilter.exe process would kick in whenever I wasn't using the system and just eat RAM. One time I turned it on and it had allocated over 4,000 MB (and my system only has 4,030 MB available) so of course it was forcing all the other processes to hard fault (ie. everything was moving like molasses--for example, it took 20 minutes to put the thing to sleep). But I just let it do it's work, figuring that perhaps this was to be expected relative to the small library of PDF's that I've accumulated on my computer, ranging from LaTeX generated text files, to containers for hi-res scans. So, after a day and a half of basically not using my laptop, everything finally calmed down and I enjoyed the benefits of searching the content of my library from the Windows Start menu--for a short while.
However, to my dismay I've encountered the problem that this freezing of my computer would now occur after everytime I download a new PDF (in this particular case they were Google Books scans) and then left the computer to idle. Again, the SearchFilter.exe would allocate all of my RAM for itself and just push everything else onto the Virtual RAM, which means the SLOWEST possibly fetching you can get. I had to uninstall as this was making my computer unusable for 15-30 minutes after each idle. Everything is back in working order without the iFilter, but I would like to know if anyone has reported such problems on x64 systems. Obviously, I will also report the problem to Microsoft, since the search engine should certainly have the precaution to handle such memory problems.   However, it is a problem that is created by the Adobe PDF iFilter interacting with the Windows Search engine.

Hello,
We believe we have figured this out. It looks like it has to do with the length of the default folder location for the Adobe iFilter.
I was able to reproduce the issue and the following resolved it for me. See if this resolves it for you all as well.
Here is how to get Adobe Version 11 PDF filter to work.
1 . If you haven’t already, run the following in SQL Server:
Sp_fulltext_service ‘Load_os_resources’, 1
Go
--you might also need to run:
sp_fulltext_service ‘Verify_signature’,0 --This is used to validate trusted iFilters. 0 disables it. So use with caution.
--go
2. Stop SQL Server. (Make sure FDHost.exe stops)
3.
Uninstall the Adobe ifilter (because it defaulted to having spaces or the folder name is too long).
4.
Reinstall the Adobe iFilter and when it prompts for where to install it, change it to: C:\Program Files\Adobe\PDFiFilter
5.  Once the installation finishes, go the computer’s Environment variables. Add the following to the PATH.
C:\Program Files\Adobe\PDFiFilter\BIN
NOTE: it must include the BIN folder
NOTE: If you had the OLD location that included spaces, remove it from the path environment variable.
6. Start SQL Server
7.  IF you had an existing Full-text index on PDFs, drop the full-text index and recreate it.
8. You should now get results when you run sys.dm_fts_index_keywords('db','tblname') --Note: Change db to be the actual database name and tblname to be the actual table name.
Give this a try and see if this fixes yours.
Sincerely,
Rob Beene, MSFT
