Behavior of XML Form Builder after SP 13 upgrade

Dear Experts,
We are working on E.P 7.0 SP 10 and we've recently applied SP 13 and started testing the system.
What we found on XML Form Builder is, we are unable to add schema (under Data Model) to the project.
Can some one help us where exactly went wrong.
Best Regards,
Satyadev

Hi,
i think, i have faced the same problem recently.
I had the problem that i saw the 3 categorys: namespace,data schema and properties.
But i couldn't open them by clicking on them. This is also your problem?
What i did with lots of hours of testing.
1.Once you have managed to add something to the data schema you are fine. Then it will always be opened. ( Try opening an existing project and you will see that.)
So you could open an old project and modify this.
2. It is still possible to open the Data Schema. I don't know where to click exactly but i click like 100s of times on the symbol of Data Schema and with a little bit of luck it opens. If it doesn't work, i restart the Forms Builder and i try again.
Regards,
Marcus

XML Forms Builder - Create XML in external System

Hi,
Is it possible to create a XML file in a system external to Portal (the DataModel is the same) and after uploading it to the Portal and obtain the same behavior (rendering) of a XML created in Portal by the form generated by XML Forms Builder?
I've tried to do it, but the file is not rendered as expected.(It appears the XML File but not rendered by the XSL generated by XML Forms Builder).
Regards,
André

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?

I want to design a News like the *LInklist* by XML Form Builder

Hello:
   Everyone!
   Now I have another problem about XML Form Builder
   I want to design a News like the LInklist by XML Form Builder
   I want the result,For Example
SAP News
       1news1
       2news2
       3news3
who can give me some adviseon about how to disign the Edit, Show and Renderlistitem in XML
Thanks a lot
Hope your help!

Hi,
In XML Form
1) Edit form is used for designing the user interface.
2) Show form is used for displaying the xml form to the end user
3) RenderListItem is used for rendering the xml form into a small description like 1News1, 2news2 etc..
    Here you need to display only the heading of the xml form
After you create the xml form
Create Layout set where you need to give the proerties like xml renderer form , no of items to display etc...
Thanks&Regards,
Raghu

XML Form Builder-How to access data saved from a form?

Hi All,
I created a form in XML Form Builder. This form include checkboxes and input fields.
Also i include a Save button.
I used this form in a iView.
Many users will access this iView and save their input data.
So, after the user Save this data, in the KM folder , is created a XML form where i can see the inputed data.
So for every user's Save is created a XML form .
The question is,
how can i collect all these data for each created XML form, so as i can process them?
Please i will appreciate if anybody has any documentation or can give me step-by step instruction .
I am new in EP .
Regards
Ari

Hello Avinash,
You can directly use query in form personalization Conditions like
select date_probation_end from per_assignments_x where person_id = :PERIOD_OF_SERVICE.PERSON_ID
and put in your condition like if you want to validate Probation end date is less then sysdate then in condition put in like.
TRUNC(SYSDATE) < (select TRUNC(date_probation_end) from per_assignments_x where person_id = :PERIOD_OF_SERVICE.PERSON_ID)
set the error message.

Saurabh

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.

Problem saving XML Forms builder project

Hello,
I have extended my xml forms project with some functionalities and now I'm not able to save and generate it. When I'm trying to save the project saving process stops while saving 'GUIModel-Internal.xml' which is quite big file (~4MB). I can't find the reason which cause that.
I would be grateful for any ideas.
Best Regards,
Michal Maciejewski

Hi Fallon,
It was typicall extension with normal changes within the XML Forms Builder. I've added some nodes in Data Schema and then create some controls on Edit and Show form which I connected with the newly created nodes. I know that custom changes in .xsl file will be erased after opening and saving the project within the XML Forms Builder so I'm trying no to do that. Have you got any idea why the project is not saving properly? Is it possilbe that XML Forms Builder could damage some files of my project while saving? After several tries of saving Show form could not be load while opening project. It's quite urgent for me to find solution or cause of this issue.

Michal

Issue with HTML Editor of XML Form Builder.??

Hi All,
We are using HTML Editor of XML Form Builder to enter the Content. This content will be displayed to teh User by parsing these XML Files generated by the XML Form Builder Application.
But, when we parse the XML, the other field values are coming properly, except HTML Editor field Content.
This is working fine, only when I enter a Single line Text. If I enter some Spaces, New lines, Paragraphs, etc. the XML Parsing is not returning any Content..
And also when I use Text Area, the total content is returning as a Single Paragraph, Even if I enter multiple lines, spaces,.
If anyone has Idea on this, Please Help me to solve this Issue ASAP.
Thanks&Regards||
Ashok Kumar M.

Hi Bala,
It is already mapped correctly. If I enter a single line Text in HTML Editor, I am getting the same Text after Parsing. But If I enter multiple lines, spaces, new lines, etc., then the Problem.

Xml forms builder- What exactly do I have to do in RenderListItem?

Hello Experts,
I have designed the form with Lables, Text Areas and Teat Fields as per our requirement in the Edit form of XML Forms Builder. And, now can you please let me know what has to be done in RenderListItem and what's the purpose ?
I have been reading a few docs which says that the Layout has to be designed in RenderListItem form. I'm sorry, but no document has clearly explained me how to do that
Could anybody be kind enough to explain that in detail.
Thanks a million in advnace.
BR,
RN

Hi,
When you want to display the the articles that are published by using your xml form in a KM Navigation iview.
We will display only the subject, author and some intiial news to the end user in KM Navigation iview. This can be done through Renderlist item which you need to mention in your collection renderer of your layoutset.
The entire content will be displayed only after clicking the artccle.

XML Forms Builder - problem with checkbox

Hi,
I have created many checkboxes in XML Forms Builder and if I want to create a new document based on this "Form" I have still checked one of checkboxes. I would like to have all empty checkboxes becasue user should check the appropriate checkboxes.
Do you know how to resolve this problem?
Thaks for help!

Hi,
is it always the same checkbox that is already filled in? Is this ckeckbox based on a metadata-definition?
If yes: You could maybe have a look at the metadata-definition. Is there maybe a default-value defined?
