Creating two links to open external forms...

I understand how to establish the option to open a spreadsheet. I also understand how to create a link to open a pdf file on our server. What I need help with is creating 2 separate links at the bottom of my report to open one or the other. The only other solution I've come up with is to create a "dummy" report in a new region, underneath my main report and all that region has is the name of the pdf and the user can click on that. It works, but not clean looking. I would prefer to have the 2 links, one underneath the other or side by side. I found a forum discussion that mentioned modifying the report template along with creating a new application item. I tried that. The app item doesn't ask me for the drive on our server. When I modify the report template, I get no results. It's obvious I am doing something incorrect. please help me.

Go to
Edit > My Connections. The next screen gives you the
option to remove a connection. Just select the connection you no
longer need and click Remove.
Hope this helps!

  • Creating a link in a PDF form to open into a new window

    I have created the PDF form and every thing seems to be working fine. But I would like to set a link in the form that would open into a separate page. I have tried target="_blank" and onclick="window.open(this.href, 'child', 'scrollbars,width=650,height=600'); return false" with no success. Can someone give me some direction on how to create a link within a PDF form that will open into a new window?

    Try this, using JavaScript:
    app.launchURL("http://www.adobe.com",true);

    I created a pdf form and then imported it to Forms Central for distribute. It is now loaded to my website and setup so a person clicks on the link to open the form. At this point they then have to go to upper right to open form using a different view. I would like the form to open directly in Adobe Reader form to make it easier to enter information. Thanks, Ike

    If you created it in Forms Central, you have to edit it there. I believe Forms Central is similar to LiveCycle Designer in that the form created is no longer able to be edited in Acrobat. I might be wrong, but that is my understanding. You add the submit button in Forms Central. Within Acrobat, you should be able to go to the forms menu and Manage Data to save the data to an Excel file. Others better with forms should be by to clarify things, but this should get you started. In the future you might find it better to post a forms question in the forms discussions.

  • How to create a link to open an existing bid invitation?

    Hello everyone,
    I created a custom web transaction that displays some bid invitation information. I need to create a link that opens the same bid invitation in transaction BBP_BID_INV.
    When I used "CALL TRANSACTION", I got the SAP GUI version. I need to get the bid invitation opened in Web Version (service BBP_BID_INV).
    Your help is appreciated,
    Abdullah Azzouni

    Hello Marcin,
    Well, I'm using this function module to display certain information users will need. Some users would like to be able to access the existing Bid Invitation transaction in order to change some information. This is why I need a link in my custom transaction to do that.
    It would make more sense to call the existing transaction BBP_BID_INV. I could call it at the moment, but I get the SAP GUI version. I need the web version.
    Regards,
    Abdullah

  • After formatting and creating two partitions on my external HD, why is Time Machine taking 25x longer to perform a backup?

    Hi.
    I bought a macbookpro 13"retina, new two weeks ago and a G-tech 1TB external drive from the apple store. It's my first mac.
    I performed a backup, using Time Machine, which copied 18 GB onto he 1TB external HD in around 20 minutes.
    After a little more reading, I realised I should use Disk utility to partition the 1TB external G-tech drive into a 250gb partition, and a 750gb partition.
    [My MBP has a 250gb flash HD. I'll use the other 750gb for storage of my other files, like photos, music etc.]
    So, using disk utility I formatted the 1TB exernal drive, then created two partitions.
    However, I've started backing up my data using time machine again, onto the 250gb partition, on the external drive, and its now taking 5 hours to copy the 19.81GB
    So why is it taking 25x longer than the first time I did it? [First time it took 20 minutes]
    Thanks

    Since performing the fist backup, a couple of days ago, which took twenty minutes, and the second backup, which is taking 5 hours, I installed MS office for Mac 2011 and Silverlight.
    Dont know if thats responsible?

  • How do I create podcast links that open automatically in iTunes?

    I want to create different podcasts and distribute them via emails to my friends. I want to make it as simple as possible, so that my friends can click on the link to my feed, and have iTunes open automatically, and subscribe to my podcast without taking any extra step. In other terms, I don't want my friends to have to open iTunes, choose Subscribe to Podcast, and paste the link.
    Is it possible?

    Yes. Go to your iTunes Music Store Podcast Listing. Control-click on the title of your podcast and it will say "Copy iTunes Music Store URL".
    This will copy a URL to your clipboard that looks like: http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=74837876
    Paste this into your friends' email. They should be able to click on it and launch iTunes automatically and subscribe to your podcast(s). This of course assumes that they have iTunes 6 installed.

  • How can I create a link to an external site in my aperture web gallery?

    Very keen to add a link to my main home page so people can go from my web gallery at www.smartstreets.eu back to my home page at www.smartstreets.co.uk
    Anyone know a way to do this?
    Also wondered if I can change the font, size, format (eg bold etc) in the theme I have chosen .. this seems to be set and cannot be changed.
    Any ideas? Any places I can try for great third party web gallery themes? Thank you!

    I don't know how to accomplish this when using Aperture's built-in web gallery feature. My suggestion may help until you find out how to do that. I suggest buying iLife '08 and using iWeb to create your web galleries. The iWeb media browser shows your Aperture library and albums so there's no need to export-import. You do need to generate previews for photos to use in iPhoto. iWeb is much more powerful than Aperture's gallery layout tools, plus there are many themes available. Think of iWeb as an export plugin for Aperture.

  • Cs4 Mac : linking to open external .app files, help needed!

    I have completed a CDROM for pc users for a client.
    The CDROM contains 15 quizzes in exe format.
    A 'portal' file links to each of these quizzes, so the user returns, having opened and completed the (.exe) quiz file, to the portal and takes another quiz.
    the code to open these 15 quiz files
    on(release){
    fscommand("exec","openexe15a.bat")
    This opens the bat file, which opens the exe
    ----- This works fine
    However, my client wants a mac version,
    I cant find a way to link to the macintosh projector file within the portal file.
    fscomand doesnt work, geturl doesnt work.. any help really would be appreciated.

    I don’t know how .Mac Backup works, so all I can say is which are the files & folders you need to restore from the backup (assuming you did actually back up them, that is).
    Mail stores most preferences and all account settings in ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist (except the passwords, which are stored in the keychain). Everything else, including all your messages and mailboxes, is stored in ~/Library/Mail/.
    Similarly, Address Book (whose data you should back up as well) stores the settings in ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist and the data in ~/Library/Application Support/AddresBook/.
    Other applications store preferences and data in other places. You may want to ask in the appropriate forums for more information on those.
    You may also want to read this:
    How to back up and restore your important Mac OS X 10.4 files
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user's home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user's home folder.

  • How to create two linked lists (Master/Detail or Parent/Child)

    I need to create a couple of related lists in a Master/Detail approach. Users are supposed to choose one "Master" Option, and "Detail" column should be refreshed to display only the items that are strictly related to the chosen option
    in "Master". Any posible solution?
    Thanks in advance.

    One option is to connect two web parts. This will give you option button for your master list web part and based on the value selected your results will be filtered in the detailed list web part. Here is the example. Though it is for SP 2010 it should work
    the same in SP 2013.

    Second option is with some customization using Jquery.

  • How can I create a custom button for opening a form?

    I have a parent form having child forms. In my main form I want to create custom buttons for opening child forms. I want to use master-detail form but there are more than one child forms, and in master-detail form I can only create one detail form. So I will create a form based on a table and in that form I will call the child forms by custom buttons. Can I do that?
    Thanx,
    Gulsah.

    This can be easily done. First open up two instances of your Portal. In one window, you will need to go into your component you wish to link FROM. In the other window you will need to go into your component you wish to link TO. In the component you wish to link TO there will be a moduleid. Note this somewhere. Then, you will see an area that says: "Call Interface: Show". Click on this. (In the window you are linking to.). In this window, you will see a bunch of stuff. At the bottom you will see a URL call. This is the call you need to use. At the top, it explains each piece of the URL call. Just subsitute YOUR appropriate information into the URL call. In the form you wish to link FROM, create a button. Once you create this button, it will appear at the bottom, click on it and you will see an area to insert a Javascript. Click the onClick and insert:
    //this is the variable you want to pass from one form to the other
    get_field_name = getField(this.form,'COLUMN_NAME_IN_DATABASE');
    //this is so you can open the "child" form
    window.open('/pls/cc_prod/DAD_NAME.wwa_app_module.link?p_arg_names=_moduleid&p_arg_values=MOD_ID_HERE&p_arg_names=_sessionid&p_arg_values=&p_arg_names=COLUMN_NAME_IN_DATABASE&p_arg values='+GETFIELD_NAME+'&p_arg_names=_COLUMN_NAME_IN_DATABASE_cond&p_arg_values=%3D');
    In the fourth tab, where it says, "....before displaying form" insert the following: (This will tell the form how to handle the getField function.)
    htp.p('<script language="JavaScript1.3">
    < !--
    function getField(form,fieldName)
    var objName = "";
    var tmp = "";
    var dAction = "";
    var sel_idx = 0;
    var cnt = 0;
    var instance = 0;
    var slicedName;
    var fillData = new Array();
    for (var i = 0; i < form.length; i++)
    slicedName = form.elements.name.split(".");
    tmp = slicedName[2];
    instance = parseInt(slicedName[3],10);
    if (!tmp)
    continue;
    objName = tmp;
    if (objName == fieldName)
    return form.elements[i].value;
    //-->
    </script>');
    I hope this helps.

  • Link to an external website based on form item

    Hello,
    How to create a link to an external site based on the value of a read only item in a form?
    I have a read only form (not a report because of layout issues) which presents address information. One of the items contains a site-address. Is it possible to present this field in a way users can click on it to navigate to the site?
    Thank you,
    Philip

    Thank you Varad,
    The data source for the item P21_WEB_SITE is a database column (a varchar2(100) ).
    I created a second item where the data source is based on a PL/SQL Function Body:
    declare
    lv_return VARCHAR2(500);
    begin
    lv_return := '&lta href="http://'
    ||:P21_WEB_SITE
    ||'/"'
    ||'target="_blank"'
    ||'&gt'
    ||:P21_WEB_SITE
    ||'&lt/a&gt'
    return lv_return;
    end;
    Property Display as = Display as text (does not save state)
    So problem solved !

  • Error with hyperlink to open a form in Workflow Notification

    Hi All,
      I am trying to create a hyperlink to open a form in Workflow Notification. I want to open "Prepare Mass Additions" form from my workflow. I am in R12 (12.1.3) and there is no parameters defined for this function.
      So i am trying the method given here:
      http://oracleappsnotes.wordpress.com/2011/04/15/accessing-oracle-forms-from-workflow/
      Below is a summary of steps from this blog:
    Register a new custom form function with a parameter CREATE_BATCH_ID.  Function name is XXFAXMADDS. Its just the seeded FAXMADDS form function, just with the addition of parameter.
    Create an attribute of type ‘Form’ which stores the name of the form function and the parameter with which we want to call it. The default value of the attribute is XXFAXMADDS:CREATE_BATCH_ID=&BATCH_ID
    In a workflow process include a notification message.
    Associate the attribute with the notification message
    Personalize the new form function, to add actions to assign the value of parameter to the form field, then goto the Find Button, and click it.
        When i click on the link in notification, I am getting the below errors:
        FRM-47023: No Such parameter named G_QUERY_FIND exists inform FAXMADDS
        FRM-40105: Unable to resolve reference to item PARAMETER:G_QUERY_FIND
        FRM-47023: No such parameter named CREATE_BATCH_ID exists in form FAXMADDS.
        Why is this error? Why it is referring to G_QUERY_FIND which i have not at all used?
    Thanks
    Manu

    Hi Hussein,
    Clearing cache or bouncing application did not help. And now i am noticing that the value of this attribute does not change according to the changes i make in workflow builder.
    Also, i tried by updating the workflow attribute from Workflow Admin, retried the notification and tried the link again. No help.
    I tried updating attribute to just the standard form function name, still same errors!
