Connect Livecycle ES2 directly to DB2

Hi ,
I am trying to connect livecycle ES2 forms directly to mainframe DB2.
Is there any way I can do so? If yes, How?
Thanks in advance.

I believe you are trying to connect LiveCycle with IBM DB2 database server, if yes :
Please go through the install instructions @ http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/9.0/documentation.html#task=0,1,2,3,4,5,6&module=-1
It has all the details to configure/connect LiveCycle ES2 with IBM DB2 database.

Is DB2 version 10.5 supported by LiveCycle ES2?

We have several LC ES2 environments with DB2 9.5 and we would like to upgrade the database engine. Wich is the highest DB2 version supported by it?
Kind regards

Stefan-
Just to be clear, there are no known incompatibilities with DB2 7.2, and
we know that there are people who are using Kodo with it without
problems. However, it is not an officially verified version of the
database against which we certify Kodo.
If you have any problems with your testing against DB2, be sure to let
us know, and we can help work through them.

We have to support many customers having a wide range of databases (mainly
oracle 8 or 9 or DB2 7.2 or 8.1 respectively).
We thought that in using kodo we could provide the support needed, because
database abstraction is handled by kodo.
Actually we run on kodo 2.5.8 just because we didn't have time to jump to
3.0 yet. At the time it works quite well with the databases we support, so
existing applications we will leave at 2.5.8.
New applications we want to write with kodo 3 because all the new features
of course are quite nice.
As far as I understand you now, we could run into deep problems when just
switching to 3.
Of course we test our programs against our supported databases, but lets
say somewhen we would find a case, where the application runs smooth on
DB2 8 but not DB2 7 any more.
We could'nt hope for a fix then, could we ?--

LiveCycle ES2

How come LiveCycle ES2 is included in CS6 Design & Web Premium, yet the latest version of LiveCycle is ES4? There doesn't appear to be a way to update it and my current conclusion is that maybe it is just put in as a teaser - despite the fact that it is buggy and incompatible with Word 2010... There again, maybe the same applies to LiveCycle ES4 and it is just a lemon anyway. I would appreciate an answer to my question as well as thoughts on the product.

The ES products have been branched out in CS5/ Acrobat 10 since the whole underlying infrastructure has changed and things such as creating certificate-based "basic" PDF forms have been included in the normal Acrobat. ES2 is only provided for backward compatibility for users who may use older files and need to work with them. LC products always have been targeted at corporate and government environments and other big organisations and were of limited use without a matching server infrastructure or extensively using Adobe Connect, so as far as I'm concerned it's a non-issue. It's really merely that Adobe went trigger-happy with Acrobat 9 and included all this stuff, but as we all know most of that didn't go far and a lot of that has been superseded by other technologies. People just don't bother with creating PDF forms when they can do this interactively on a web site using a browser...

Hi all. Can someone tell me how connect my MacBook directly to my DSL cable modem bypassing my wireless connection? thanks in advance.
(the Maverick upload that was pushed out last month will not load for me -- keeps starting and stopping. just read a review where someone had the same issue and once they bypassed their wireless connection, it worked just fine.)

Submit Email PDF in Acrobat X Pro / LiveCycle ES2

I'm pulling out my hair trying to get this form I created to email back the filled out pdf. I've spent a couple of days searching like crazy trying to figure out how to fix this issue.
I created a fillable pdf form using LiveCycle ES2. I created the button to submit via email. In the submit to URL field I have: mailto:[email protected] The Submit As: PDF. ( we do not need a subject line) I saved the document, opened it up in Acrobat X Pro, went to File, Save As, Reader Extended PDF, Enable Additional Features, clicked Save to Enable Usage Rights for Reader. (that's what every other search has said to do)
So, I send the form via email attachment to a co-worker to test it out. We fill out the form, click the Submit button... and nothing happens... again. The prompt asking which email client to use pops up, but that's it. I'm not sure what else to do. Can someone help please?!?!?!?!?!?

We'll need more information, such as OS, version of Acrobat/Reader is being used, what email client is being used, etc. Email is generally unreliable and not secure, adn whether is works seamlessly depends on whether the client machine is set up correctly.
Submitting to a web server is a more reliable approach that can be made secure relatively easily.

How to crop pages using Adobe LiveCycle ES2 PDF Generator and Acrobat 9.2 Pro Extended

Hi all,
I'm evaluating the possibilities of Adobe LiveCycle ES2.0 PDF Generator in order to convert on the fly (programmatically) MS Office Documents and Visio drawings into PDF files.
I'm able to trigger this process using the Webservices API (from within C#). However when generating the PDF files in this way, each and every PDF file has a lot of white margins around it as it is generated as an 8x11 inch page.
I have been looking in ways to crop these white margins from around the information, so that the PDF content is only showing the actual content (in order to be used as an image).
I found a way of doing this manually by opening the generated PDF file of LiveCycle in Acrobat 9.2 Pro Extended and using the Document > Crop Pages... option.
So my question is: Can this be done programmatically using Adobe LiveCycle ES (and/or API functions of the Acrobat tool).
The envisioned solution would run on a server (without interaction/monitoring requirements by a human).
Any input about this is highly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Raf

Is LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2 LiveCycle ES2 or ES1?

Hi,
I am confused with all the LiveCycle release conventions.
Is LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2 LiveCycle ES2 or ES1?
I am using Designer ES8.2. I manually added some PDF metadata to XDP form in the XML Source tab. After the XDP form gets redendered to either static XFA PDF or dynamic XFA PDF, the PDF metadata I added manually is lost. I was told there is a known defect with LiveCycle ES1 and it has been fixed in ES2. So, wondering whether ES 8.2 is ES1 or ES2?
Thanks!

XSLT - Exception error when using XSLT 2.0 code in Transform on LiveCycle ES2

I'm new to using this forum, so apologies in advance in I have posted this to the wrong place.
I'm using Adobe LiveCycle ES2.5 (Jboss) and have written several complex XSLT scripts. All have worked, with the exception of the latest one in which I have to sum a repeating subnode that maynot exist and if it does, may contain a number or be empty. When I have used SUM by itself, it works perfectly if I all the nodes have values, but returns zero if any are missing or are empty. After some searching I found a solution (which I have made bold) in the fragment below.
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" ...>
<xsl:variable name="varUnitValueTotal" select="sum( (if(SOURCEUNITVALUE='') then 0 else SOURCEUNITVALUE) )"/>
</xsl:stylesheet>
I developed and tested this xslt in XMLSpy 2011 and it works a treat. However, when I invoke the XSLT using the Services\XSLT Transformation 1.0\Transform, I get the following exception error:
javax.xml.transform.TransformerConfigurationException: javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: Could not find function: if
    at org.apache.xalan.processor.TransformerFactoryImpl.newTemplates(TransformerFactoryImpl.jav a:936)
    at org.apache.xalan.processor.TransformerFactoryImpl.newTransformer(TransformerFactoryImpl.j ava:774)
    at com.adobe.livecycle.xslt.XsltTransformer.transform(XsltTransformer.java:151)
Now as far as the documentation is concerned ES2 and better should be using XSLT 2.0. However to test a theory I changed the stylesheet version from 2.0 to 1.0 and re-ran the xslt in XMLSpy and it fell over at exactly the same place as the exception error. Which makes me conclude that LC ES2+ is still using XSLT 1.0.
Now I am stuck. The only work around that I can see is to attempt to do the calculation in the form (which sort of defeats the point of usng XSLT). That said I am reluctant to go down that path, since the maintenance overhead is going to be shocking if I have to apply to dozens of forms.
Is there a way to tell the Transform service to use XSLT 2.0 and if so, how and what are the settings? Or do I need to find and use a different transform engine, again if so which one should I use and what settings should I make at either JBoss and/or AdminUI level.
Really hoping that someone can help.

The XSLT service is configurable.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/LiveCycle/9.5/WorkbenchHelp/WS92d06802c76abadb-1cc35bda128261a 20dd-6750.html
1) Stop LiveCycle.
2) Add the .jars of your XSLT processor of choice to the LiveCycle server lib folder.
3) Restart LiveCycle.
4) Go to Workbench and stop the XSLT service. Right-click on XSLTService:1.0 and Edit Service Configuration.
5) Enter the factory name for the given XSLT processor. I think for Xalan 2.7.1 it is org.apache.xalan.processor.TransformerFactoryImpl (but I could be wrong).
6) Restart the service.

How to convert the Adobe 10 PDF to Adobe LiveCycle ES2 so that I can make the text boxes expandable?

When I convert the Adobe 10 PDF to Adobe LiveCycle ES2 it is a static document, thus not allowing me to make the text boxes expandable. How do I take a current Adobe 10 PDF with Text and convert it to Adobe LiveCycle ES2 so that I can make the text boxes expandable?

Hi Alan,
TextField objects can expand dynamically. There are a few things that you need to do:
1. The TextField object should be contained in a subform that is set to Content: Flowed. This isn't technically necessary, but if you have anything below the expanding text box and the subform is set to Positioned, the text will expand and overlay what's below.
2. On the Field tab of the text field's Object property tab, check the Allow Multiple Lines checkbox
3. On the Layout tab, check the Expand To Fit checkbox under Y:/Height
4. Set the PDF Render Format under Form Properties/Defaults to Dynamic XML Form. If you're previewing in Designer, don't forget to set the preview to Dynamic too.
Regards,
Rave

Can only connect from one direction

I'm having trouble video confrencing... I tried searching the forums, but I'm having trouble thinking of clever search terms.
I can only connect from one direction with one person. They can invite me to a chat and it works fine every time. However when I invite them it always fails. I can invite other people and it works fine though.
This doesn't seem like a typical router problem, because they can invite me and we videochat just fine.
This has been a problem for most versions of iChat that I can remember, but I'm using 3.1.5 currently.

Hi
Is the other person a PC user.
