Convertion of forms????

Hi All,
In recent developments, customers are expecting to converts forms to reports.
1. How do we convert forms to xml?
2. As of my knowledge, for ex if we have customers deatils, invertory details..it is creating as seprate page instead of single page.. in that case i may believe it will be difficult for customers to run each page..
3. In that case, we have any integration concept to combine all these into a single one?
Thanks,
Anoo..

Hello Anoo,
1. In your Forms 9i/10g bin-directory there is a frm2xml utility to convert fmb's to xml
2. Depending on your current form definition (number of rows, insert/update/delete allowed etc) one or more pages will be created in APEX (you'll get more pages than fmb's..).
3. That's called redesign... You have to decide which regions you need on which pages. The forms2apex conversion is not a 100% automated process. You still need (a lot/some) redesign and recoding....

Problem in converting smart form into PDF

HI Experts,
                  I am using a Function Module CONVERT_OTF for converting smart form into pdf file for send it to with attachment.
But i got a error when i am using that FM.
Runtime Errors         CONVT_NO_NUMBER
unable to interpret *292 as a no.
Is that because my file size too large about 13 pages of PDF?
and when i run it for other smart forms which have 2 or 3 pages of PDF, its working perfectly.
can anyone tell what is problem with that FM?
Thanks
Shakun

Hi,
I had the similar issue and after analysis I have that this is the issue by not passing the IMPORTING parameter of the Function Module "BIN_FILESIZE". Please try to pass some variable to this paramter and then this will be completely rectified.
DATA ; v_filesize     TYPE i.
*--Convert OTF data to PDF data
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTF'
    EXPORTING
      format                = 'PDF'
      max_linewidth         = 132
    IMPORTING
      bin_filesize          = v_filesize
    TABLES
      otf                   = it_otfdata
      lines                 = it_pdfdata
    EXCEPTIONS
      err_max_linewidth     = 1
      err_format            = 2
      err_conv_not_possible = 3
      err_bad_otf           = 4
      OTHERS                = 5.
Please verify whether this reolves the problem for you.

https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/abap/abapDevelopmentand+Programming&
For this it says:
<i>How to convert a date to internal or external format?
Use the functions modules CONVERT_DATE_TO_EXTERNAL or CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERNAL
to convert the date. When converting to external format, the date format from the user's user profile will be used. When converting to internal format, the result will be in YYYYMMDD format.</i>

There is no automatic way to do this in JDeveloper. I know there are some Oracle Partners offering forms to java conversion, I don't know how much of their tools are automated and done with JDeveloper. With JDeveloper+ADF you basically rewriting the Forms application from scratch (and using ADF is helpful during this process).

How to convert oracle forms in j2ee platform

hi,
i want to know how can i convert oracle forms into j2ee platforms. if is it possible then please tell me the steps that i need to follow .
thxs

What you are asking is a bit like "how can I convert a dishwasher into a washing machine".
If you want to know the the steps I would say.
1) Work out what kind of washing machine you want to convert to
2) Learn the technical details of that washing machine
3) Rearchitect your diswasher plans so it fits into the "model" of a dishwasher
4) Now spend lots of time money and effort doing it.
Now, I don't know if thats going to help you. But if you tell us the WHY it might help formulate a response

Convert Adobe Form to SMARTFORM

Hi,
is it possible to convert a form created with adobe form builder to a SMARTFORM document?
I need to upload a PDF or DOC document into a SMARTFORM. This seems not to be possible. So I used Adobe for this upload. But now I can't convert it to a SMARTFORM document...
Can this problem solved?
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks and regards
Gabriel

Hi Gabriel,
as far as I know, SAP does not deliver any tools to support conversion between smartforms and pdfs ... I did it manually, which is a pain in the neck ...

Converting oracle forms into java forms

Hi all,,
would help me plz on how to convert oracle forms into java using any tool;
Is Jheadstart is the tool,, im having jeveloper version 10.1.2.1.0

There are at least two companies that are marketing Forms to Java conversion tools. I'm sure that a good Google search will locate them, and they are frequent exhibitors at Oracle-oriented conferences like Collaborate and ODTUG Kaleidoscope. But there are problems associated with doing this. I urge anyone who is considering such a project to read this article by Grant Ronald: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/pdf/10gR2/formsmigration.pdf
You should carefully ask yourself and your clients and management, "Why do you want to do this?", "What benefits are you trying to realize?", "Does this make sense, and are there other options that we should be exploring?"
For instance, many people are trying to protect themselves because "Forms is going away". Oracle has stated again and again that Forms is NOT going away. In fact the recent Fusion Middleware 11g release included a new version of Forms with some significant enhancements. You may do very well just by upgrading to the latest version of Forms.
If you do decide that it still makes sense to convert, I suggest that rather that converting, you may want to redevelop from scratch. Keep the database if it is well designed - a well designed, stable database will outlast any front end that you may use against it. Then take full advantage of the capabilities of your new toolset, and leave behind the limitations and inapplicable methodologies of your old one. Oh, by the way, don't use JDeveloper 10.1.2. Use 11g if you can, or 10.1.3.5 if you must.

Noman,
I assume you are using the 10.1.3.3 version?
If you send an e-mail to [email protected], I will get you access to the latest JHeadstart 11 build which includes many improvements and other fixes in Forms2ADF. Note that you should use this build with JDeveloper 11.1.1.0.

Convert InfoPath form to PDF issues

Hello,
We have some web based InfoPath forms hosted in a MOSS 2007 SharePoint environment. Users who have Acrobat professional installed on their computers are having problems converting the forms when using the Adobe PDF Toolbar in IE. There are two problems that the users are seeing.
First, individual text fields appear to black out the field. If the user selects the highlight fields option in Reader or Acrobat when they open the saved PDF, then the fields are no longer blacked out. It looks like the conversion is interperating the background color of the fields to be black. On the form there is no background color for the fields.
The second issue some users are experiencing is that the converted PDF looks to cut off the right side of the form, or throws off the layout of the form (table columns are shifted). The table shifting issue is probably related to the InfoPath form layout, but the cut off issue seems a bit odd. For most users the form scales to fit on the PDF page, but some users get a cut off form.
Has anyone seen either of these issues before, or found a resolution for either? Thank you ahead of time for any assistance.

Infopath forms contain multiple components. The InfoPath .xsn file defines the data structure, appearance, and behavior of finished forms (.xml files).
To properly convert I would suggest using LiveCycle Designer (not the Web Capture in Acrobat). Designer will convert your .xsn file and extract the necessary components.

How to convert 6i forms to 10g

hello,
please tell me how to convert 6i forms into 10g forms
i cant find ne way to do that.

If your forms are not all integrated with each other, in other words some are for Payrole and others are for Inventory, you could maintain an AS 1.0.2 environment for one function and an AS 10.1.2 environment for another. You can access the same database assuming you are running the latest Forms 6i version (unless you are not interested or concerned about using an Oracle Certified configuration). The latest (and last) Forms 6i release supported for non-Oracle Applications customers is 6.0.8.26 (Patch 17) and can be downloaded from Metalink.
Of course, the above configuration would mean that the URL to each application would differ because they would likely be on different machines and/or use different port numbers. For example:
http://system1.com:7777/servlet/f60servlet?form=payrole.fmx
http://system2.com:7780/forms/frmservlet?form=inventory.fmx
Bottom line is that all forms modules running in a particular AS environment must be of the same version. So, forms running in AS 10.1.2 must be compiled against Forms 10.1.2. Forms running in AS 1.0.2 must all be compiled against Forms 6.0.8

Is it possible to batch convert all form responses into individual PDF forms?
