Design Capture Of Forms

Does anyone have any info or documentation on the pros and cons of capturing the design of a Oracle Developer generated form.

Ramana,
Although you eventually want to use JHeadstart, reverse engineering forms to Designer is not an issue within the scope of this forum.
Could you please post this issue in the Designer forum, or log a Metalink issue?
Thank you,

What is the best way to design a simple form that is captured in structured accessible database/file?

Hi there,
I need to design a simple form to capture some data from the users. This data shall be able to post into structured database where I can connect to the content to grab the data automatically every night.
What is the simple recommended way to do this?
Thank you

I will agree with Margriet Bruggeman, But if you want to have a collaboration with these data with security, then "Business Connectivity Services (BCS) " could be another option. It need more config/development but it has own use too.

I am wanting to add picture and designs to my form how do I place it in a specific place on my form?

I am wanting to add picture and designs to my form how do I place it in a specific place on my form?

Currently we only support one field/item on a line. We are working on adding a feature that allows you to put multiple fields/items on a single line. We hope to have that out in a few months.

Difference between Designer 6i and Forms 6i?

difference between Designer 6i and Forms 6i?

Designer 6i is more related to the development cycle of a database and the various tools that access the database(from creating the database entity relationship diagrams to creating the physical tables/ddl). Forms 6i is more geared towards data management of the database. Designer 6i has tools to help auto-generate 6i forms.

How do I change template designs once a form has been created using another template design?

How do I change template designs once a form has been created using another template design?

I talked to a service Representative and he told me there isn't a function to change a form using one template to a different template. For example, I used template for "Accommodation registration" and wanted to change it to "admissions application." I was hoping I could just select a "Change template" rather than having to copy/paste everything to the new template. But that's what i had to do. Maybe the next version of this software will make it easier to change design templates.

Submit problem using Adobe Designer 7.0 form & GroupWise email

We are designing an interactive form using Adobe Designer 7.0, and would like for other people in the organization to be able to fill in the form electronically then hit the "Submit by Email" to return the data.
For email, we are using Novell GroupWise.
Problems are occurring once the recipient of the form selects the "Send Data File" button. This action either causes Adobe to crash, or causes an error message, "Acrobat is unable to connect to your email program."
Can anyone help? Is anyone successfully using this function with GroupWise email?

I don't really have a solution for you - perhaps the following may be of use though:
Try reinstalling Designer 7 and ensure that at the point where you are asked about your e-mail client that you tell it that you are using GroupWise.
You may like to see if you can send an e-mail using the same method that we employ.
This is the script we use on the 'click' event of a button that sends an e-mail with the form attached (via GroupWise) to the e-mail address as specified ("[email protected]" in the example below).
var myDoc = event.target;
myDoc.mailDoc(false,"[email protected]", "", "",
"This is will appear in the subject line....",
"Here is the message text............");

Design capture of report files of type .sql

Hope someone would be kind enough to help me out here.
I'm trying to reengineer some report files using Oracle designers (release 6) Design Capture facilities. The facilities allow me to capture report files of type '.rdf' but it does not allow me to capture report files of type '.sql '.
Would you know a way i can capture these files into the repository. Whats the trick? if any.

Hi,
First of all put an exception block and see what exact exeption it is throwing and then post that exception. You also have to check wheather you have created a directory and it has sufficient privileges.
create or replace procedure verify as
declare
ACTIVITY_FILE UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;
log varchar2(600);
begin
ACTIVITY_FILE := UTL_FILE.fopen('/dacscan/Mani',log,'W');
EXCEPTION
WHEN others THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(SQLCODE||SQLERRM);
end;

Designer10g R2 Design Capture of SQL Server DDL file Failed

I have been using Designer 10g R2 to design capture Oracle Database Schema into the Server Model Diagram with no problems at all.
I have a SQL Server 2005 exported DDL file into an ASCII text file. I then import the DDL script into the Server Model Diagram but ERRORs.
I use SQL Server 2005 to import the DDL script and then create an ODBC to connect to the SQL Server. I can then design capture the SQL Server schema into Designer.
What has gone wrong? Does Designer 10g R2 support design capture from SQL Server DDL file directly to Designer?
By the way, if I want to generate MySQL DDL script or design capture MySQL DDL script into Designer, how could this be done as there is no ODBC driver for MySQL?

I want to design a login form on my website, can I do it without coding in Muse?

I want to design a login form on my website, can I do it without coding in Muse? And if I want to set an Email function within my website, can I still use Muse?
Thanks

Hi Wenshu... I am sure someone will be along here shortly with a "right" answer, but here is my 2 cents. On part 2 of your question, I just say something like "Click HERE to e-mail me" and on the HERE part, I type the link mailto:[email protected] (filling in your actual e-mail address, of course AND no matter how many times I try to edit this, it still keeps putting the hyperlink in my response here!!! That entire link has no spaces... that envelope icon is supposed to be helpful, but it's making me nuts) in the hyperlink box at the top of the Muse design page so that the person's default e-mail client will pop up to send me an e-mail when they click on that link on my site.
As far as part one goes, I don't do any login forms.... but I do create and use long forms for like applications and whatnot and I do have to code them outside of Muse because when I try to drop the code into the HTML box, it ends up not looking right. I look forward to hearing the replies on the login box issue.
Good night.

Design a Query Form to display a particular form's filed's properties

Hello,
I need to design a Query form to see all the properties and its set values of each and every field (or may be any particular field) of any particular form.
So, is there any way to get the properties set and their values of a field?

You don't use a query for changing the properties in the property palette. You can set and read many (but not all) of the properties in the property pallette at runtime by using these built-ins:
set_item_property
get_item_property
set_block_property
get_block_property
SET_ALERT_BUTTON_PROPERTY
SET_ALERT_PROPERTY
GET_CANVAS_PROPERTY
SET_CANVAS_PROPERTY
SET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY
GET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY
SET_FORM_PROPERTY
GET_FORM_PROPERTY
The help documentation describes how to use these.
Let say you want to let the user change the color of the item. Then you can create a list item with the list of available colors, and create a button that implements the color. When the user clicks the button, it reads the color selected in the list box and changes to that color using the set_item_property.

Database Design Capture

I've got an interesting/frustrating exercise ahead of me next week, as I attempt to perform a design capture/reverse engineer of a third-party application. I had many unhappy times try this with Designer 6i, and now "the powers that be" have decided that Designer 9i needs evaluating for it's design capture capabilities.
The package that's being captured is SCT's BANNER Student Management System (don't worry, we're licenced to do this!), and I wondered if any of my fellow Designer jockeys had any advice or hints-and-tips to offer? BTW, there's about 1800 tables, and several hundred views and packages involved.
Thanks.

Hi Andrew,
My initial advice is to perform the design capture in
stages: Designer won't lose sight of the relationships
etc you are capturing. Breaking it up into a few more
manageable stages helps to reduce potential problems.
We often get similar questions and there are a few old
postings here on the forum with some good advice. The
Designer online help also contains a lot of topics on
each stage of the process.
Try searching the forum. I also hope some of our other members out ther can offer some tips. Anyone..!?
I'll see if I can find any useful posts too.

Batch Design Capture of tables that include Object Types

When I attempt to use the Batch Design Capture facility to capture a table that includes an Object Type the facility dies without completing.
I am using Designer 9i / Oracle Design Editor v9.0.2.80.4.
The Batch Design Capture facility reports the following and then exits:
Repository connected successfully
Server Generator 9.0.2.80.4, Wed Jun 09 17:24:33 2004

CDS-15334 Warning: The Oracle Object Type MESSAGEHEADER_TYPE already exists in the Repository. NOMERGE_AND_SAC Rule selected

CDS-11305 Warning: Column 'E2B.MESSAGEHEADER' property DEFAULT VALUE exceeds maximum length (60) - Truncated
The table that I am trying to capture looks like this:
E2B
E2B_ID NOT NULL NUMBER
MESSAGEHEADER MESSAGEHEADER_TYPE
DATE_TRANSMITTED DATE
DATE_RECEIVED DATE
DATE_ACKNOWLEDGED DATE
... other columns ...
MESSAGE CLOB
and MESSAGEHEADER_TYPE looks like this:
MESSAGEHEADER_TYPE
MESSAGETYPE VARCHAR2(16)
MESSAGEFORMATVERSION VARCHAR2(3)
MESSAGEFORMATRELEASE VARCHAR2(3)
MESSAGENUMB VARCHAR2(100)
MESSAGESENDERIDENTIFIER VARCHAR2(60)
MESSAGERECEIVERIDENTIFIER VARCHAR2(60)
MESSAGEDATEFORMAT NUMBER(3)
MESSAGEDATE NUMBER(14)
Is is possible to use Designer to capture tables that include object types?

hi,
while running the package, use the activity "Maintain Table Reduction" in phase System Analysis to include / exclude / reduce the table from transfer.
Srila.

Designer is making forms incompatible

After editing forms in Designer, I am no longer able to edit the form in Acrobat Professional.
Also, Designer seems to be changing the names of botton controls within the form. For example, I named a button "DCSubmitFV1_0" within Designer. Inside Designer, the button name shows correctly, but in actuality, the button is named "F[0].P1[0].DCSubmitFV1_0[0]" making it not work with our system.
Is there a way to revert the form to the Acrobat Professional format, after the form has been edited in Designer? Or is there a way to specify how Designer really names form controls?

Hmm, big question. You'd want to get experiance by using Designer to try to do what you are doing in your AcroForms in order to get used to the new UI and field types. The biggest thing will probably be the new scripting model which is quite different. While you can still use some of the Acrobat script objects to do some things, you'll want to convert to the XFA scripting model as much as possible if you want to have success.
You can check out the Designer Dev center here: http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/livecycle/designer/devcenter.html . There's a link to some samples you can look at, and also a link to the XML Form Object Model document, which is extremely useful when writing script. As an example, here's what your script would like using the XFA object model. I'm just typing it into this window here, so I can't guarantee it won't have a typo or a little mistake, but should be pretty close.
var dcProceed = true;
// Get the field containers from each page.
for (var nPageCount = 0; nPageCount < xfa.host.numPages; nPageCount++) {
var oFields = xfa.layout.pageContent(nPageCount, "field");
var nNodesLength = oFields.length;
for (var nNodeCount = 0; nNodeCount < nNodesLength; nNodeCount++) {
if (!(this.ui.oneOfChild.className == "button") && (this.mandatory == "error") {
if (this.rawValue == null || this.rawValue == "") {
app.alert("The field with name " + dcLoopField.name + " is required. Please enter a value before submitting.", 1, 0, "Field is required");
dcProceed = false;
break;
if (dcProceed) {
var dSubmit = xfa.form.formName.resolveNode("DCSubmitFV1_0");
dSubmit.presence = "hidden";
dSubmit.execEvent("click");
//where dSubmit is a submit type button that points to your URL
Also, XFA forms do not use FDF, they use XML, so depending on what you are doing on the server after the submit you may need to change what's going on there too.
Anyways, the first question I would ask if I was you is why you want to switch. If you already have everything you want working and your just switching because it is the "new" way to design forms it's probably not worth it. If your looking to take advantage of functionality it can provide that AcroForms can't, or your looking to use it with the LiveCycle server products then go for it. It's a big change with a definate learning curve, but in the end I think you'll be happy.
