  • 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.

  • Adobe form not showing negative sign before amount

    Hi Experts,
    We are having a strange problem. Our developers displaying
    negative
    amount in my adobe output. Its working fine in our development
    system.
    But for the similar set of data in testing system, negative sign before
    the amount is not coming. The same adobe form, layout and print
    program
    is there in both development and test environment systems. Please
    help.
    Thanks,
    Sunny

    Hi Sunny ,
    Check with the development team .. The field attribute while display types which you can restrict in the adobe form layout settings.
    I am pretty sure this  will help you and revert back if you have any questions in this regard.

  • 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 get PDF generated by adobe forms on to Application Server

    I have a program which gathers data into an internal table. The program then calls function FP_JOB_OPEN (with relevant outputparams). Then it calls the function module name, of the Adobe Form, passing the internal table across. Then the job is closed.
    This all works fine and we end up with a PDF file on the spool (type ADSP).
    The requirement is, within the program, instead of outputting to the spool, to output the PDF document onto the Application server.
    Any help greatly appreciated.

    If the PDF spool is already generated then,
    You may need to read the PDF data , may be using 'RSPO_RETURN_SPOOLJOB
    Once you get the spool data in internal table , use Open Dataset and close dataset to download , see if that works.
    Cheers,

  • How to provide security settings for the adobe form using livecycleDesigner

    Hi,
    that is a good topic for the ADFS forum.
    ADFS forum - http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/home?forum=Geneva
    But you could pass the user-agent as incoming claim type Client User agent. User-agents can be manipulated, so if that is an issue you can look into Device Registration and the Device OS type from there. That is also a incoming claim but requires DRS and
    DRS is not available for all plattforms.

  • Save interactive adobe form in presentation server through report program

              in display mode that to in  presentation server with input values provided by the user.
             could  any help to achieve this or guide me if i am  moving in a wrong path.
    Thank you,

    It all depends on what you want to do.
    If you are planning on users to fill out on-line form only and submit to SAP, it is pretty easy to do (that is once you understand how to create web dynpro and interactive form).
    You can also have users fill a form offline and upload to online and save it to SAP.
    You do need to know little bit about coding (ABAP or JAVA),
    but can be done w/ very minimum coding.
    If you are planning on doing in Web Dynpro ABAP,
    go to SE 80 and select WebDynpro and create form.
    To save data/form to SAP, you probably want to use BAPI or Function module already available so that you don't have to do much coding to save data.
    See some of these links for helpful tutorials. Thomas Jung has several good tutorials, but none of them probably have all the information you need... you just have to pick some from here and some from other places... If you have specific question, I will be happy to guide you...

  • Uplaod Adobe form from application server

    I've a requirement where the Adobe interactive from files will be located in the application server directory and need to be uploaded from there.
    I'm using "open data set... in binary mode"  comment to open the file and then read it and store in the lt_rawtab table. But I'm not sure how to get the length of the file (which you can get when you're uploading the file from front end/local disk using the method cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_upload).
    If you have address this kind scenario please share how did you upload the Adobe from application server?

    Hi Anto,
    In fact my problem was due to l_len parameter when calling the function 'SCMS_BINARY_TO_XSTRING' to convert bin pdf document to Xstring type.
    I was not sure what value should I pass to input_length parameter.
    Then, I saw in some post that the length should be no of lines in lt_rawtab * 255 and that resolved my issue.
    I'm having another issue though. When I open the Adobe form, it says "message limit exceeded"... any idea how to fix this?

  • Saving a adobe form Output to presentation server from webdynpro

    Hi all
    I have a webdynpro aplication, where on clicking a button  I want one adobe form  output to be downloaded
    in pdf format to local server.
    currently while clicking the button its calling the webdynpro application where pdf is integrated and its displayed
    on the browser.
    Instead of the display I want to download to presentation server on clicking of the same button ,
    The layout type of the PDF component is  ZCI Layout and  interface is XML schema based interface.

    With an XML based interface it is going to be much easier to display the form and then download it.  The user could choose the save from the Adobe Plug-In toolbar or you can get the XSTRING content of the PDF from the PDFSource Property of the InteractiveForm UI element.  With the XSTRING you can then, start a download with this content.  However PDFSource doesn't get populated until the InteractiveForm is visible on the screen.
    If you want complete background rendering of the PDF, you would have to call the form interface and pass the data into it with the XML format.  Function Module based form interfaces are really much better suited to background calls because of their nice, flat and ABAP structure based interfaces.

  • Adobe Form built in designer to redirect to FTP Server

    Hello:
    I had created a Adobe form connected to a MIcrosoft Database which will provide data connections and import data into the access database. As the information in the PDF form is used to populate a application, I would like to have the form when submitted send a XML file with only the specific data they need to the FTP server. Has anyone experienced this? or know of a possible solution?

    Randy

    Assuming you are on webforms >= 9i you could create an aliasmatch and use web.show_document with a relativepath to show your HTML file.
