Customizing text in form guide

Hi,
How do I change the text on buttons in form guides. For example I would like to translate the navigation buttons on panels to Danish.
Thanks in advance
/Lars

Yes .... the mapping between the XDP and the guide objects does not change. When you are in guide builder you can take your field (XDP) and ask for an alternate display. This is where your custom component will appear. If you base you custom component off of one of our components then the mappings will be done for you. If you start from scratch, then no mapping between the two will exist.

Digging into the XFA data from AS in the form guide

So I'm delving into the wonderful and wacky world of making custom layouts for Form Guides in Flex Builder, and I've got a question that hopefully y'all can answer or point me in the right direction.
So I've taken the SampleRepeaterAccordion file from the SDK and I want to modify it so that the 'title' of each accordion pane is drawn from the one of the fields in the pane itself. These values get populated in the initialize event of the subform the repeater is built off of, and the values do not change.
So I see that the title is an Hbox with a label that pulls the name of the panel and adds the index after the name. I've been able to modify that statement to pull the item that the repeater instance is based off of using the currentItem property of the repeater. So I have something like:
label="{rpt.currentItem.Resource.value}"
(where 'Resource' is the name of the field in the subform that I want to pull the value from).
This puts "[object Object]" into the label of the HBox. I want the value itself, however. I tried .rawValue instead of .value, but that came out blank.
So how should I be going about fishing data from the XFA form in the action script of the form guide? Or am I headed entirely the wrong direction? I didn't see any docs on this sort of thing. If I missed them, I'd appreciate a pointer to them!
Thanks!

Hi Templeton,
Did you find any solution for it. Is there any way to tell in form guide that which field on the repeater I want to display in header.
I was also thinking of making it in flex a custom component to do that and also add filtering capabilities. do you know how can we filter records in repeater accordion or grid
Also can you send me your code if you don't mind
Thanks

Customizing the text of next,back, and submit buttons in form guides

Hi,
We are preparing some forms in Turkish language. So, we need to change the text of next, back and submit buttons in the form guides. Is this possible? If so, how? Thanks for your help.

This can be done via Flex Builder. There is a good Next panel button example in this guide:http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/es/fggettingstarted.pdf. I believe you can also control the text via the style sheet applied to the guide.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<mx:Button click="{panels.selectedIndex++}"
enabled="{panels.selectedIndex < panels.length-1}"
xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml">

Customizing form guides

Hi!
I have created a new form-guide layout. In this layout I have defined a text - area which will be used to enter user-comments. (IE. a custom textfield).
I want the value of this custom-field to be displayed in the PDF when I switch between the form-guide and the PDF.
My question is, when I have created variables in a form design, how can I access them (both read and write) in a custom made layout ?
Bjørn

The layout would then need to be imported into Guide Builder where you can place fields from the PDF form onto your guide panel and thus the binding between th etwo is established.

Custom Text disappears on exit when using Dynamic Forms

If you have a dropdown list and you tick the box to "Allow Custom Text Entry" in a Dynamic form format, it will not hold the custom value when you leave that field.
If you save the Dynamic form as a Static Form the custom entries work fine.
I need help ASAP with this as it is very annoying.
Thanks in Advance

I need help with this. I followed these instructions to the T as far as I am aware but I cannot get it to work. I get the error message:
"Script failed (language is formcalc; context is
xfa[0].form[0].form1[0].#subform[0].DropDownList1[0])
script=addEnteredValue(sDropdown_XFA, svalue)
var oDD = xfa.resolveNode(sDropdown_XFA);
if ((null == sValue) || ("" == sValue))
return;
var sLBValue = "";
var bFoundValue = false;
for (var i = 0; i < xfa.resolveNode(sDropdown_XFA + ".#items").nodes.length; i++)
sLBValue = xfa.resolveNode(sDropdown_XFA + ".#items.#text[" + i + "]").value;
if (sValue == sLBValue)
bFoundValue = true;
if (!bFoundValue)
oDD.addItem(sValue);
oDD.rawValue = sValue;
addEnteredValue("form1.#subform[0].DropDownList1", gDropDownTemp.value);
gDropDownTemp.value = "";
Error: function 'addEnteredValue' on line1, column 38 is unknown. "
Obviously I'm doing something wrong. How do you make it recognize the addEnteredValue function? -- When I added "gDropDownTemp;" to the File-->Form Properties-->Variables tab it said that it MUST have a value so I put 0, it wouldn't allow me to not enter a value even though instructions say otherwise. I'm new to this and I know what I want but getting to that point is another story it seems. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Replicating custom texts in BP from CRM to ECC systems

Hi All,
I'm trying to set up synchronisation of a custom text held against a business partner in CRM with our ECC system. So, in CRM, if I go to transaction BP and go to change mode for a partner and then go to the long texts tab... As well as the 2 standard Correspondance and Accounting Note text ID's my functional consultant has also configured a third text, with ID Z001. We are trying to get this to synchronise with ECC.
With a bit of debugging I can see the text is being sent in a BDOC across to ECC but it isn't being populated into the customer master. On the ECC side the custom text has been set up against the sales area of the customer master - I'm not sure of what else has been done there.
Has anyone done this before who can give us some help/advice? Bear in mind I know almost nothing about CRM to ECC synchronisation and BDOC's so I'm struggling with this!
Thanks in advance,
Gareth.

Hi Gareth,
While researching this issue I came across note number 622133. https://websmp202.sap-ag.de/~form/handler?_APP=01100107900000000342&_EVENT=REDIR&_NNUM=622133&_NLANG=E
Its an old note, but it pointed me in the general direction of FM 'PI_BP_MAP_TEXT_IDS_CRM_R3'. This FM looks in table 'CRMTEXTID' to check if any mappings were maintained. Now if you do a where-used on CRMTEXTID, you see that it is used in a view, V_CRMTXTID. So go to SM30, maintain that view, map your R/3 text IDs to CRM text IDs and you should be all set.
There must be a more elegant way to get to this table, but in the short term, this should fix your problem. I haven't tested it yet on my system but I get the feeling this should work

Using XPATH to populate a drop down with custom text enabled?

Hello,
I am using the custom state field provided by Adobe Form Designer 7.1, and I checked the option to allow custom text entry.
Within my workflow, I have script that will access the XDP path and set the state to a string. I get the _state value from a DB query (where _state = _rs.getString(#)), but here I'll use a static value to provide a good example:
String xdproot = "/process_data/appform/form-data/data/xdp/datasets/data/App";
String _state = "Fl";
patExecContext.setProcessDataValue( xdproot + "/State", _state );
When I received the form from the workflow (via email) my other fields were set properly, but the state field was blank.
Should I use setProcessDataStringValue?
Thanks for your help!
Rob

Hi Rob
I don't believe using StringValue will make any difference. If you're passing a string, it should amount to the same thing.
Some things to try:
Try setting the value using the SetValue QPAC - does that work?
Try testing your form by setting an XML file containing "Fl" in the state field as your preview data (In Designer, File/Form Properties)
Try using the Variable Logger to check the data in your form is set correctly.
http://www.avoka.com/Avoka/qpac_library.shtml
Are you using Reader 8.1. We've experienced several problems with DropDowns in 8.1. Try using 7.0.5 or greater.
Good luck...

Urgent: Custom Text in Variable Selection Screen

Hi Experts,
I know that it is not recommended by SAP to customise the variable screen, I am sorry but that is ridiculous coz there are no alternatives provided for even simple editing. I''ve searched every where in SDN to find a way to simply add a custom text element in this bizarre screen.
I need to do that because I have to group variables that look similar in a container and add some instructions to users on how to base their selections.
I am also not sure what exactly the web item whcih is behind this selection screen or perhaps if it is another web template that is being invoked by the standard template ""0analysis_pattern"" and if any what is that web item invoking it.
If you have any clues of how i can achieve this please adivce as soon as you possibly can.
Points will be assigned.
Cheers,
Jad

Hello,
To customize your variable screen you should neeed developer access key..you can see whether you have got or not in table Devaccess..
Personalisation of variables is for saving all inputs for future use. ( In your case save without any pre determined values )
Below PDF link will surely answer your doubts.
http://www.ies.state.pa.us/imaginepa/lib/imaginepa/mso2.pdf
The personalization option can be activated in the system (using the program RS_PERS_ACTIVATE or the IMG guide (BW Customizing Implementation Guide -> Business Information Warehouse -> Reporting-Relevant Settings -> General Reporting Settings -> Activate personalization in the BEx).
You can manage your personalization variable through BEX Analyzer "Change Variable Values" menu option "Business Explorer --> change query --> change variable values.
[variables|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/f1/0a56a7e09411d2acb90000e829fbfe/frameset.htm]
Go through this link for making cange in Variable selection screen..
Re: No Text displayed in the Input help in WEB
For creating the Web Template..
Go the web application designer, create a new web template in the template
in the left hand side you will find web items , from there drag and drop table , navigation block for your navigation attributes and in the table you have to assign the data provider
for that first you have to do
<object>
<param name="OWNER" value="SAP_BW"/>
<param name="CMD" value="SET_DATA_PROVIDER"/>
<param name="NAME" value="DATAPROVIDER_1"/>
<param name="QUERY" value="your query name"/>
<param name="INFOCUBE" value="your cube or multiprovider name "/>
DATA_PROVIDER: DATAPROVIDER_1
</object>
now you can asssign the data provider 1 to the table.
you can all the neccessary things you want , like check box, radio button group, charts etc.
while saving this save it in a role.
If you want to do this for a workbook, which has been created in the BEx Analyzer, do the following:
After embedding the query in the workbook, right click -> choose 'properties' in the context menu -> click the 'interaction' tab -> check the 'save and reuse variable values' option.
After doing this, once the workbook or query is refreshed, the already entered variable values are taken.

Barcodes in form guides

Hi!
I have a problem with using Barcodes added with Livecycle Designer in Workspace ES. The Barcode works great in preview and also with adobe reader and adobe acrobat, but when i add a form guide to the pdf and try to show it in Workspace ES I get an error from workspace:
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable fields is not defined.

As you can guess the 'fields' is the variable used for the collection that the barcode uses. Now the PDF works perfectly fine in adobe reader/acrobat.
I've also tried not using the fields variable setting the Barcode to use entire form data. Then i got this got error from workspace ES:

So basically another barcodes script error occured. I know that Form guides support only a limited set of javascript and that workspace es throws errors if you use unsupported javascript, but does that mean you cant use BarCodes(which generate javascript themselves) in form guides at all ? If no, what do i need to do get it working?

Paul, thanks for the idea, but there are controls and containers in flex, I hope datagrid in flex is a container and it does not have a text of value property. any item in the datamodel in form guide can be binded to only a control with text or value property. so is there a way on how to bind a datamodel property to a text field in a datagrid, as the data grid has a set of columns with text input as the control.
if you have any questions on my above explanation, plz write back, looking forward to your suggetions.

Display Item not showing Text when form is opened in Forms 6i

Hi,
I am using Oracle Forms 6i & I have taken DisplayItem control on a canvas and want to show some text over that e.g., "Your Name". For that I set 'Initial Value' property of that control in Property Palette to "Your Name". But I am not getting any such text message when I run the form nor it is coming at form design time. Can anyone please let me know where I am missing and how to display text in forms using DisplayItem control?
Can you also suggest from where to learn these basic things about Oracle Forms 6i?
Thanks in advance.

bootstrap escribió:
Can I initialize this object using Property Palette? If not why so?
can you please tell how to use go_block & where to call this method?
Yes, just as you did with the initial value property, but you have to "initialize" the record in that block. Navigating in runtime to the block is a way to achieve that, so you have to put the "focus" in the block with built-in GO_BLOCK . For example, in the W-N-F-I trigger.
Another way to put the focus there, as indrabudiantho sugested, is dragging the block to the topmost place in the list of block in design time. Thus, when you enter your form in runtime, the focus will go to the first navigable item in the first block as defined at design time.
About the resource docs, I think there was a "Oracle forms developer guide" bundled in paperback with a quite old version of the product which wasn't too bad. Not the "forms builder reference" , which is more or less the online forms help, but the guide. Also, there must be commercial books about forms & reports.
