Creating a filename based upon entered fields

Using Acrobat 7, I have two fields that I would like to draw upon to create a unique filename under which the document will be stored.
Field #1: Name.Last (no formatting)
Field #2: Date.From (formatted as mm/dd/yyyy)
If #1 = "Smith" and #2 = "02/03/2008", the unique name created would be "080203-smith".
So I need to concatenate and then store.
Any suggestions?
Steve

As Earlierly suggested, the Outputs PS from the ReadPropSet method does not match the fields defined in the init method.
And One More thing as i observed
var fileLoc = "c:example.xml"; ( As u Declared)
should be
var fileLoc = "c:\example.xml";
Just Try Once :-)

How to create an album based upon date of importing photos

today i imported over 2000 photos with dates accross three years time frame. how can i create an album based upon the date i imported the photos? or can i.
if not, how would i add these pix to a specific album without going through the whole library some 15,000 photos strong now?

Check out the Film Rolls ->
View -> Film Rolls
Each import creates a Roll, so the most recent one's should be easy to find. Select all and make an album from them.

Create a filename based on form content

Hello,
I always have a hard time explaining my question's but here goes.
I have a button which saves a form once filled out. I would like to take the thinking out of this when it comes to naming the file and it create the name based on a numerical field in the form (in this case a serial number). The example would be something like 00000_Inspection Form.pdf. I am certain this can be done with javascript but not being a programmer, I have no idea where to begin with this. I have a variable set up but no idea how to act upon it.
thanks in advance.

Hi

ADF BC: Creating updatable VO based upon DB View with "instead of" trigger

Hello all,
I have got an interesting issue. I have an Oracle DB view that is used to hide some complexity in the underlying DB design (it does some unions). This view is updatable because we have created an "instead of" update trigger to update the correct table when a row is updated. This is working fine in SQL.
Next, we have created an ADF Entity object based upon the view, specifying an appropriate PK for the DB View. Then, we have created an updatable VO based upon the EO. All well and good so far. The issue we have is in trying to commit changes to the DB - because the ADF BC framework is trying to lock the row to update (using SELECT ... FOR UPDATE), it's not working because of ORA-02014 - cannot select FOR UPDATE from view with DISTINCT, GROUP BY, etc.
This leads me to thinking about overridding doSelect() on the EO as hinted here http://radio.weblogs.com/0118231/stories/2005/07/28/differenceBetweenViewObjectSelectAndEntityDoselectMethod.html
As a temporary test, we have over-ridden the EO's doSelect to call super.doSelect(false) and it does work, although we will have lost update issues as detailed in Steve's article.
My questions:
1). Is overriding doSelect() the correct thing here? Perhaps there is a better way of handling this problem? I do have a base EO class from which all of the EO's extend, so adding this behavior should be straightforward.
2). Does anyone have example doSelect implementation? I am thinking of overriding doSelect for my EO and calling super.doSelect (lock=false), but then I need to deal with some possible exceptions, no?
Kind regards,
John

Hi John,
I have exactly the same issue as you experienced back in January. I have a complex data modelling requirement which requires the need to pivot rows into columns using ROW_NUMBER() and PARTITION clauses. To hide the complexity from the middle tier, I have created a database view and appropriate INSTEAD OF triggers and mapped my EO to the view. I have overriden the lock() method on the EO implementation class (to avoid ORA-02014) and would like to try the same solution you used with the pl/sql call to lock the record.
My question is, how did you manage the release of the lock if the transaction was not rolled back or committed by your application i.e. if the user closed the browser for instance.
In my naivity, I would like to think that the BC4J framework would release any locks for the database session when it found the servlet session to be terminated however my concern is that the lock would persist and cause complications.
Any assistance greatly appreciated (if you would be willing to supply your lock() method and pl/sql procedure logic I would be even more grateful!).
Many thanks,
Dave

Create maintenance order based upon notification in NWBC / Portal

Dear experts,
How to create a maintenance order based upon a notification, using the POWL for notifications ?
I am using NWBC and would like to create a maintenance order, based upon a notification put in process.
In R/3, this works fine using transaction IW22 / IW28 and all info from the noticiation is copied in the new order.
How can I get the same functionality using the role SAP_BPR_MAINTENANCE_TECH_12 ?
Kind regards,
Dirk

Dirk,
You should be able to select the Notification number from the POWL overview list and choose the "Create Order" push button on the Tollbar (along with display notification, change notification etc).
What i have noticed is that once you are inside the notification from the Portal application, the create Order push button or functionality doesn't seem to exists. This is probably incomplete functionality taking into consideration the standard IW22 transaction /Or a Bug and maybe you could raise a OSS Note for the same.

Using javascript to save a pdf to a different directory and generating a new filename based on form fields in the document.

I have built the following script in an attempt to create a submit button that will automatically save the document in a different directory on my computer. It will also use the form field data "customer" and "date" to generate the filename. I printed out the variable myPath and it looks like it printed the correct string. I keep getting the following error:
TypeError: redeclaration of const path
any help would be much appreciated.
var customer = this.getField("Customer").value;
var date = this.getField("Date").value;
var path = "C:/Users/awilliams/My Documents/Test/"
var reg = date.match(/(\d+)\/(\d+)\/(\d+)/);
var myPath= "C:/Users/awilliams/My Documents/Test/" + customer + "_" + reg[1] + "." + reg[2] + "." +
reg[3] + ".pdf";
this.saveAs(myPath);

"path" is a keyword within a PDF you should not use keywords as a name for any other object as a general rule.
Have you checked the PDF Reference to see how to create a file path name within a PDF, 3.10.1 File Specification Strings page 118?
Did you carefully read the Acrobat JavaScript Reference for the saveAs method?
The notes following the description:
Note: This method can only be executed during a batch or console event. See Privileged versus non-privileged context for details. The event object contains a discussion of JavaScript events.
(Adobe Reader S): This method is available in Adobe Reader for documents that have Save usage rights.

Can we change the state based upon another field value?

I want to change the state to Done when completed work is set to 0. I googled it and came to know about this:
Handle it from the server side, monitoring the WorkItemChanged event. The downside is that it doesn't reflect immediately in the end-user screen. After editing a work item, the user would have to hit Refresh to see the new state.
Will it be perfect in this way? Any other suggestions.
Please provide best links to learn about creating server plugins and depoying.

Hi divya,
For your questions, you can refer to the link that Alexandr mentioned above to check the Pros and cons of custom controls for work item tracking.

Sorting records dynamically in REF cursor, based upon a dynamic field

Hi,
I have a REF CURSOR built by using row type, table type and PIPELINE function. I have opened the ref cursor now. I would like to update a field called 'RANK' based upon 'RATIO' field in the REF CURSOR. i.e order the records in the ref cursor by RATIO field and then update the RANK as 1, 2, 3, 4, ....
Aim: I want to update a field in the REF CURSOR based upon another numeric field.
Please help me.
OPEN sales FOR
SELECT RANK, ratio
FROM TABLE (fngetfundholdingsale (in_primarykey, in_flag));
loop
fetch sales into sale1;
exit when sales%notfound;
--I want to update sale1.rank based upon ratio
end loop;
Thanks
Ashok

Try to use NDS (Native Dynamic SQL):
l_order := 'ratio';
OPEN sales FOR
'SELECT rank' ||
' FROM TABLE (fngetfundholdingsale (:in_primarykey, :in_flag))' ||
' ORDER BY ' || l_order
USING in_primarykey, in_flag;Regards,

GRC AC10 Agent based upon Role Attributes

Hi Experts,
Need your help on the issue.
We are trying to achieve below configuration-
After the Access request is generated, at the first stage, the approver should be selected based upon the business process of the role. If there are multiple roles with different Business Processes and their approvers, all of them should approve the request and then request should go to the next stage.
There is also a field Business Process in the Access Request Screen which denotes the User's association with Business Process and not of the role. We are able to trigger the approval based upon this field, but we can;t find any option of approver selection based upon the business process of the role.
Can some one show a way to achieve that?
We are facing another problem, when the request is approved based upon the field Business Process in the Access Request screen, we are not able to find the request in next stage, it is still showing in the same stage while the role attached is only one and no other approver defined.
What could be the reason behind it? Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Sabita

Hello Sabita,
You can use the transaction : GRFNMW_DBGMONITOR_WD to check the logs.
What i understand from your requirement and what would be my approach.
1) Approvers who will be ROLE OWNERS
> In this case 1st thing is you should upload few ROLES( NWBC>Access Mgmt-->Role Import) with all the details i.e function area, company , role owner, alternate approver
---> Now create a "Custom Initiator from SPRO >GRC>AC>workflow for access control>Define Worflow Related to MSMP rules for Process ID SAP_GRAC_ACCESS_REQUEST
Run Tx: BRF+ , and you will see a rule created , drill down to "Expression-->Decision Tree"
and use "Table settings" to select "Condition Column" & "Result Rule sets", where you can configure the Custom Initiator
Now run Open MSMP workflow config window
1) Process Global settings ( Notification details if necessary)
2) Maintain Rules (add your custom initiator rule )
3) Maintain agents ( check & if not present add Role owner agent)
i.e. GRAC_AR_ROLE_OWNER (This will satisfy 1 st requirement)
Create a new agent as BSM and mapp them as "directly mapped user" , similarly for the 3rd stage you can use directly mapped user.
4)Variables & Templates --> Skip
5)Maintain Path ( add 3 stages as required i.e role owner, BSM & security officer)
Now for each stage click on "modify Task Settings" & click on individual check boxes as relevant , you can select "All approvers" or "Any one approver", Approve Request based on System & Role , or Request .
Same applies to all the other 2 stages.
6) Maint Route Mapping --> put the path ID created in previous stage and save and activate.
I hope this should give you some fair idea.
Thanks
Victor

Change the sort order (ascending/descending) based on parameter field

I have created a formula on a subreport to change sorting based on variables.
select {?Pm-@Sorting}
case "property_type_desc ASC" :
{owned_property.property_type_desc}
case "property_type_desc DESC" :
{owned_property.property_type_desc}
default:
({owned_property.property_type_cd}; )
how can I change the sort order ascending and descending using the formula??
Thanks, Jessica

Try this
1. Create a parameter with 2 default values in the picklist: Descending and Ascending.
NOTE:
In Crystal Reports version 5 or 6, it is not possible to have a pick a parameter value from a list. The user must enter a specific value, guided by the prompting text. For example : To Sort in Ascending order type A, to sort in Descending order type D.
u2022 On the 'Insert' menu, click 'Parameter', then click 'New'.
u2022 Type the name and prompting text for the parameter in the corresponding boxes.
u2022 In the 'Type' box, click 'String'.
u2022 Click 'Set Default'.
u2022 In the 'Value to add' box, type 'Descending' then click '>' to move it to the 'Default Values' list.
u2022 Repeat the above step for 'Ascending'.
u2022 Click 'OK', then click 'OK' again to return to the report.
2. Create 2 formulas based on the field you want to change the sort direction on:
u2022 On the 'Insert' menu, click 'Formula', then click 'New'.
u2022 Create this formula:
@Asc
If {?Parameter} = "Ascending" then
u2022 Save this formula and close the Formula Editor. This brings you back to the Formula tab of the Insert Fields dialog box.
u2022 Click 'New' and create this formula:
@Des
If {?Parameter} = "Descending" then
u2022 Save this formula and close the Formula Editor.
u2022 Click 'Close' to return to the report.
4. Sort the report based on these two formulas.
u2022 On the 'Report' menu, click 'Sort Records'.
u2022 In the 'Report Fields' list, click {@Asc} and move it to the 'Sort Fields' list.
u2022 Under 'Sort Direction', click 'Ascending'.
u2022 In the 'Report Fields' list, click {@Des} and move it to the 'Sort Fields' list.
u2022 Under 'Sort Direction', click 'Descending'.
u2022 Click 'OK' to return to the report.
Once you preview the report you will be prompted to select a parameter value, which will determine how the report is sorted.

Raghavendra

Multiple IDOCs based on multiple fields in File to IDOC mapping

Hello Experts,
     I have a requirement to create multiple IDOCs based on multiple fields.
     Earlier my requirement is to create IDOCs based on ShipID (i.e., for every ShipID new IDOC...I achieved this).
     But now the requirement was to create IDOC based on two more fields like
Source:
     ShipID1
     FieldA with value1
     FieldB with value1
Target :
     1 IDOC to create
and If
Source:
     ShipID1
     FiledA with Value2
     FiledB with Value2
     ShipID1
     FiledA with Value1
     FiledB with Value2
Target:
     2 IDOCs based on FiledA
Like wise IDOC should create for every change in FiledA and FieldB.
If FiledA and FiledB has no changes then create IDOC based on ShipID
please help me in achieving this as this is an urgent requirement.

Hi Prasad -
Just concat all the three fields - shipID1, FieldA and FieldB and
remove contexts
split by value (value changed)
collapse contexts
This way whenever there is a change in any of the above fields you'll have separate IDOC..

Can't get a text field to atuo populate based upon a dropdown selection

I have a drop down box with 3 values that can be selected:
Dropdown2 = 101-3 subd.A
                      101-3 subd.B
                      101-3 subd.C
I am trying to get a text field to auto populate based upon the selection:
if Dropdown2 = 101-3 subd.A then Text4 = "ValueA"
if Dropdown2 = 101-3 subd.B then Text4 = "ValueB"
if Dropdown2 = 101-3 subd.C then Text4 = "ValueC"
I have tried to create a custom calculation script for Text4:
var v= getfiled("Dropdown2").value;
if (v="101-3 subd.A") event.value = "ValueA";
     else if (v="101-3 subd.B") event.value = "ValueB";
     else if (v="101-3 subd.C") event.value = "ValueC";
     else event.value = " ";
I have entered this script and the syntax appears to be correct.(At least to Acrobat XI. I'm know programmer and have just enough knowledge to be dangerous). When I select a value in Dropdown2 nothing happens. No value appears in Text4. I have checked the "commit selected value immediately" in the option of Dropdown2 per some google'ing. I just can not understand why the values do not appear. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I made the changes and added the == to my if statements. When I select a value in Dropdown2, Nothing appears in Text4. I don't understand. Is there something else that I need to do beside event.value="Some Value";?
I know it has to be something simple that I am missing, but I just can't seem to see it.
Text4 - Custom Calculation Script:
var v= getfiled("Dropdown2").value;
if (v=="101-3 subd.A") event.value = "ValueA";
     else if (v=="101-3 subd.B") event.value = "ValueB";
     else if (v=="101-3 subd.C") event.value = "ValueC";
     else event.value = " ";

Setting save directory and filename based on fillable form fields.

Hello,
I'm new to .pdf development in Acrobat. I'm trying to create a form which allows users to fill in data, then save a copy of the form to a directory and file name which will be based upon several of the fields in the document. Is this method of saving possible? I've tried a script but can't seem to make the process work.
Thanks for the help!

It's possible, but the code that does the actual save (using the doc.saveAs JavaScript method) needs to be in a folder-level JavaScript file and further in a trusted function and app.beginPriv/app.endPriv block:
http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/how-save-pdf-acrobat-javascript
http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/11/Acrobat11_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.89.173.html
or in a certified document that the user chooses to trust to execute privileged code. If you've done either of these, can you post the code you're using?

Create a structure based on Selection option field values?

Hi Guys,
             can anybody tell me is ther anyway to creat a strucitre after giving the values to selection screen .I have a req where fiscal period is entered based on this i have to create a structure suppose i he give 3 to 8 then i have to create a strucure with with some fields including period3 period4 like that until Period8 so is there anyway tocreate like that or not?
Thanks,
Gopi.

You need an internal table not a structure. Either count from from the low value to the high value adding a record to the table or select the entries from the Period master table for that selection range.
Option 1
REPORT ZCOUNT.
tables: t009b.
select-options:
s_period   for t009b-poper no-extension.
data:
gt_poper type table of poper,
gs_poper type poper.
start-of-selection.
move s_period-low to gs_poper.
while gs_poper le s_period-high.
     append gs_poper to gt_poper.
     add 1 to gs_poper.
endwhile.
loop at gt_poper into gs_poper.
    write:/ gs_poper.
endloop.
endloop.
Option 2
REPORT ZCOUNT.
tables: t009b.
select-options:
s_period   for t009b-poper.
data:
gt_poper type table of poper,
gs_poper type poper.
start-of-selection.
select poper
    from t009b
    into table gt_poper
    where bdatj = '2007'
     and poper in s_period.
loop at gt_poper into gs_poper.
    write:/ gs_poper.
endloop.
Not sure if t009b is the right table.
