Checks before deleting data connection in Infopath 2010

I have one form which has more than 80 fields and about 7 sections. This form was published to PROD before year back now client found some performance issues while opening/submitting form.
I checked and found one retrieve data connection is culprit. Now i want to delete that connection and create different one, but before deleting it, i have to find out all the references of this connections i.e- check where any columns used in rules, default
values or validations etc.
It's difficult and time consuming task to check each and every field in the form. Is there any easy trick to do this?

Found the solution, here below are the check
1: Run Rule Inspector, for this go to DATA-->Rule Inspector form toolbar
2: Delete the connection and try to publish the form, if form contains any rules or default value corresponding to deleted connection then form will not get published. It will give prompt to check errors, for this check the form using design check and see
errors, then find the references about the errors on the form.

Is possible to capture the SP username of who is making submission of the data from an InfoPath 2010 form?

Hi all,
Does anyone know how to capture the SP username of who is making submission of the data from an InfoPath 2010 form? I looking to avoid the user need to type extra information like username/ manager name, etc; and then use code behind to be doing validation
before to push that data to an sql server.
Any suggestion , book reference , link is acceptable
thanks in advance

Hi Cristina,
Please check the following article with using web service UserProfileService.asmx to get the current user profile in InfoPath code behind and use the validating event to do some complex validation, it should help.

Cannot modify Data Connection in Infopath form as the original webservice server no longer exists

Hi,
I am going to modify one of the data connections in my infopath form, but it throws me an error. The original server no longer exists. I know that I can change the manifest.xsf and replace the old server with the new server name. And when I pulled up the
Data Connections list, I can see all the connection sources have been changed to the new server. But I am still getting this error:
Could not open "http://<oldeserver>/<webservices.asmx>?WSLD
I don't seems to see a reference to the webservices.asmx, where will that be?
Please advice. Your help would be greatly appreciated!
Where is this reference came from?

I think I found out where the reference is, it is actually in the udcx file. It is weird though, the one on Central admin has been updated with the new server name, but not the one in the local data connection library, and it is actually referencing the
local data connection library instead of the one in Central Admin.
Thanks.

How to enforce a check before deleting a transaction

Hi,
We want to restrict the deletion of order based on status . Eg: When the status of the order is Inprocess , deletion should be aborted with error message.
Is there a BAdi to achieve this?
Thanks,
Shaik

Hi Shaik,
As of you cannot directly delete any Business Transaction. You can use the SAP Archiving to Achive and then delete the Transactions. You can have a look at the following link for the SAP Archiving for CRM
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm70/helpdata/en/e1/f5fc37a0ca3144e10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm
For Archiving and then Deletion of Orders, have a look at the following link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm70/helpdata/en/e1/f5fc37a0ca3144e10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm
This will give you a detailed information about the Activity of Carrying out the Data Archiving

Security check before displaying data in SXMB_MONI tcode

Hi All,
I need help in integrating a security check before displaying the archived data when we execute SXMB_MONI tcode.
Only authorized person can view the archived HR related data .
My analysis-There is no BADI or user exit to include a code to check for the authorization.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Mangai.

Hi Soumya,
Yes, the issues was resolved in my case. There was problem with certificates and their mismatch was causing this issue.
You need make sure that certificate for signing and encryption are correct at your end and also same certificates (with same public keys) are used at your third party application to decrypt and validate the signed message you send.

Pre Checks before running Data Pump Export/Import

Hi,
Oracle :-11.2
OS:- Windows
Kindly share the pre-checks required for data pump export and import which should be followed by a DBA.
Thanks

When you do a tablespace mode export, Data Pump is essentially doing a table mode export of all of the tables in the tablespaces mentioned. So if you have this:
tablespace a    contains table 1
                                          table 2
                                         index 3a(on table 3)
tablespace b   contains index 1a on table 1
                                         index 2a on table 2
                                        table 3
and if you expdp tablespaces=a ...
you will get table 1, table 2, index 1a, and index 2a.
My belief is that you will not get table 3 or index 3a. The way I understand the code to work is that you get the tables in the tablespaces you mention and their dependent objects, but not the other way around. You could easily verify this to make sure.

Check before deleting Payment Proposals ( F110 )

Hi gurus,
I have the following scenario:
When the user runs F110 and creates a payment proposal we start a workflow for approbation of the payment.
I have successfully found a badi to start the workflow, the problem arises when the same user that created the proposal goes erases it.
I can't let him just delete the proposal in the middle of the approbation, so I'm trying to find an exit to check if the workflow is executing for the proposal at the moment of deletion.
I've tried with BTEs but couldn't trigger any.
The transaction has a big number of user exits but they are for sending and Idoc, downloading a file or checking something country related.
Does anyone know what can I do to check something before the proposal deletion? I'm running out of options and I'm afraid the requirement is not feasible.

In F110, display the payment proposal log. Shift+F7.
in the heading line 'ob log overview for job' you can see the job name.
say 'F110-20110104-FR4NA -X'
if it is F110-20110104-FR4NA -X / 05170400, you have to take the part before the slash that is F110-20110104-FR4NA -X
Go to SM37, enter this in the job name. Enter * in the user id. Enter the date , on which payement run was done.
Then execute. YOu will see, who has run the proposal or payement run in the resulting screen.

ALV: check before delete a row

Hi,
I would like to delete a row in ALV.
Before the deletion I would like to send popup with the options "OK" and "cancel".
If the user presses on cancel, it should not to be deleted.
Can I catch it in ON_DATA_CHECK? Popup is not the problem.
I would like that the row is not deleted.
Are there an instruction RESET?
Regards
Vedat

You can implement your own delete function instead of using the inbuilt function of the ALV. There you can check and depending on the popup, either delete a row from the internal table or dont delete and bind it back to the node.

SharePoint 2010 and InfoPath 2010 - Load data from another form

Hello,
I have two questions on this topic.
Is it possible to open an empty InfoPath form and give the user the option of loading it with data from a previously submitted form? They want the ability to save some time of filling in some fields that were entered in an earlier form. Any description
of how or a link would be appreciated.
Also, if I create an InfoPath form template in a SharePoint Form Library like above, the user would like to be able to have multiple forms associated with each other. There would be some key that packaged them with each other. Then from within
one of the form, there would be an option to submit the whole "package" at once. All the forms associated with that one key. Again, any examples or links would help.
Thank you!

You can use InfoPath Query Data connection to point to a library / list where your data is located.
For loading data, you should be using Form Load event, and then populate ID's to a Drop down list.
when the user selects the ID from the Drop Down list, you can write another rule to query data based on the ID's from the list and store the values in your current form.
For the second question, you should try creating a single form with multiple views. and show hide views based on user or business logic.
You can write multiple submit rules to submit Form data to different different library / list.
here are some links for your reference -

Browser based InfoPath form deployed on a Claims based Web Application calling a Secure Web Service via Data Connection

hi,
We have a Browser based InfoPath Form deployed on a Claims based Web Application. We are tyring to call WCF Services that are secure using Certificates via the Data Connections on Infopath Form.
Earlier we used to get the Data in BCS External List via the WCF Services and the Data Connections used to get the Data from the BCS External List. Due to Performance Issues, we want to remove the BCS External List and straightaway call the secure WCF Services
via the Data Connections.
Have anyone implemented this scenario.
Thanks
Ram
Thanks Ram

Hi Ram,
As these are browser based InfoPath forms, you have two options
1) Deploy as sandboxed forms
In this case you have to create a secure store application id and then set the credentials for that account.
You then have to export the data connection to Data connections library and modify the .udcx file to utilize the newly created secure store application id.
This may sometime give issues related to sandboxed code service. You have to give permissions on the secure store for the user account which the sandboxed code service is running.
2) Deploy as administrator approved forms
This would be ideal way of doing things as you have full control over the web request if you write code behind InfoPath forms.
3) Deploy as a Hybrid solution
a) Write a full trust proxy solutions (extend SPProxyOperation class and override execute method) and make the web request call inside this and return the response
b) Invoke above operation from the sandboxed InfoPath form's code behind by SPUtility.RegisteredProxyOperation(four part assembly name, operation args)
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Srikanth

Droid 2 Global - No Data Connection

I own a Droid 2 Global, and I am unable to get a data connection. This problem started yesterday morning. The phone was connected fine the previous night, but I was unable to connect the next morning. I have bars, but no 3G or 1x symbol on the top of the screen. I was able to receive text messages, but I could not send them. I checked that the data connection was enabled under settings. I eventually did a Factory Reset. Since I was able to reactivate the phone, I assume I can send and receive calls fine. Following the rest of the activation steps, I had to connect my phone to my wifi in order to complete them, since I still had no data connection. I tried dialing *228 (I tried both options 1 and 2). I just tried dialing ##PROGRAM and making sure the data option was checked.
I am out of ideas, and I've searched pretty thoroughly for an answer. Does anyone know what to do?

vxcx2006,
I can certainly understand the frustrations with your 3G service issues! Based on the information you have already provided I would need to file a trouble ticket with our network engineers for your line to see what can be done to improve your 3G signal. I will send you a message, and you can reply with the necessary account information so I can get this resolved for you.

InfoPath 2010 SQL Data Connection - Related Table is Not a Repeating Group

I'm creating a InfoPath 2010 database form. In my main connection I want to query a parent table and a related child table. When I go through the wizard, the resulting data structure is not correct. The child group that InfoPath creates isn't
a repeating group, but it should be. I've done this many times before and never had this problem.
In other words, when I open up the main data source, the little blue disclosure triangle is missing from the child group.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi,
ODBC driver for Excel does not support deleting data.
I'm afraid there is no solution via SQL as in Oracle to use SQL with Excel you can only use ODBC, see OLEDB in previous versions to 11G.
Unfortunately with ODBC or OLEDB driver for Excel , DELETE is not supported.

How to move data connections with SOAP web service in different environments in InfoPath Forms 2010

Hello,
I've an InfoPath Form where I've around 10 SOAP web service data connections. They are calling a custom web service for a custom business process. The web service URL has a query string parameter which identifies whether it's a Test web service or the Production
one. The web service URL looks like this:
http://server/webservice/wsdl?targetURI=testSPRead (for the Test environment)
http://server/webservice/wsdl?targetURI=ProdSPRead (for the Production environment)
When I develop the form in Dev environment, I use the Test web service URL and save the data connection as UDCX files in the data connection library. After completing the development, when I deploy this Form in Production, I update the URL in the UDCX
file in the Production data connection library, but when I run the Form in Production, it throws error 'Error occurred in calling the web service'. After doing more research, when I extracted the XSN file and opened Manifest.xsf file in Notepad, I found the
references of 'testSPRead' parameter.
So, in the UDCX file the web service URL is '/targetURI=ProdSPRead' but in the Manifest.xsf file, there is a reference of Test web service parameter which is 'testSPRead' and that's why it's throwing error.
For testing purpose, I updated the Manifest.xsf file and replaced all the occurrences of 'testSPRead' to 'ProdSPRead' and also updated all the relevant files of the data connections (like XML, XSF etc.) and saved the Manifest.xsf as Form.xsn and deployed
in Prod and it worked.
The question is - is this the right way of doing it? There should be a simple method in such cases where web service has conditional parameter to identify the Test and Production web service.
Does somebody know what is the right way of doing it? I also thought of adding 'double' data connections - one set of Test and another set of Production and call them by identifying the current SharePointServerRootURL, but that's a lot of work. I've 10 web
service data connections in my Form and in that case I'll be having 20 data connections and setting their parameters in different Rules is too much work.
Please advise. It's very important for me!
Thanks in advance.
Ashish

Thanks for your response Hemendra!
I hope Microsoft improves this thing in subsequent patches of InfoPath 2010 or InfoPath 2013 because I don't think this is a very special requirement. This is failing the purpose of having UDCX files for data connections. Why the WSDL's parameter value
is being written in the Manifest.xsf and other XSF and XML files. InfoPath should always refer the URL and parameters from the UDCX files.

Disable/Hide Data connection error pop ups in InfoPath 2010

Hi All ,
I am trying to hide/Disable Error Messages Shown by data connection error. I do not want user to see the error , rather I would check through rules and query the Data source again.
Is this scenario possible at all.
For ex: I have a data connection to user profile server , if it gives and error on form load , I do not want to see the error popup instead i will query the data connection again.
Thanks and Regards,
Nandini

Hello,
what would you expect to change between the first call to the data connection and the second call?
How would you "check through rules"?
I don't think the error message can be suppressed. If you don't want to query the data connection on form load, untick the box in the data connection settings.
cheers, teylyn
