DI server - help on web-form

Hi,
I wanted to run DI server sample as I am looking for some source code on SAP B1 web-forms. I tried to run the WSClient appliaction provided with the DI server samples. the server is running on Windows server 2003 R2(service pack 1), SAP B1 2005 B PL 40, IIS 6.
the SAP server, IIS and license server are on the same machine. I have tried all the combinations for server name , license server etc but, I am unable to login at first place. it gives some 'The request failed with HTTP status 404 : not found'.
Also, to test the basic connection status, I copied Global.asa, Default.htm and WebSAPManageSoap.asp and ran it.
it gave me 'server.createobject Access error'. it seems that I am missing some basic prerequisite. or there are some user-rights issue. any help on this will be highly appreciated as I am clueless on how to go ahead.
also let me know If I am posting in wrong forum
thanks and regards
Binita

Hi David,
I m here with one more round of trivial questions :).
I went thru the help of B1WS and found tht it does not apply to B clusters of SBO.
Now, It seems that DI server is the only option to use.
in this forum itself, I read several thread stating that DI server may offer better performance over DI API but, implemetations are easier in case of DI API over DI server.
It would be very helpful if someone let me know that for using web-service that is integrated with SAP B1 (with applying the original SAP business logic(i.e wht we achieve using DI API business objects in case of addons) ), is DI server the only way to go with?
If yes, what licenses do I need to have to 1) develope the web-forms that use DI service and 2) to have this web application implemented on client machine?
any help on this will be highly appreciated as I don't know from where to start.
thanks and regards ,
Binita

Help with web form script. PHP, CGI, Perl???

anyone willing to help with a web form script? I have a form built, but cant seem to figure out the scripting! Should I be using Perl, CGI, PHP... What do I need to enable? I am a complete novice when it comes to scripts. Looking for a little friendly help.

Here is a simple bit of PHP to stick in the page your form posts to. You would need to edit the first three variables to your liking, and add the html you want to serve afterwards:
<pre>
<?php
$emailFrom = '[email protected]';
$emailTo = '[email protected]';
$emailSubject = 'Subject';
$date = date('l, \t\h\e dS \o\f F, Y \a\t g:i A');
$browser = $HTTPSERVER_VARS['HTTP_USERAGENT'];
$hostname = $HTTPSERVER_VARS['REMOTEADDR'];
$message = "$date\n\nAddress: $hostname\nBrowser: $browser\n\n";
foreach ($_POST as $key => $value) {
$message .= $key . ": " . $value . "\n";
$mailResult = mail($emailTo,$emailSubject,$message,"From: $emailFrom");
?>
</pre>
This script will grab the server's date and the submitter's address and browser type. It will then list the name and value of each form field you have put on your form.
Also, this script expects your form method="post".
Lastly, you can offer alternate text later on in your html page based on the success of the above script with a snippet like this:
<pre><?php
if ($mailResult) {
echo "Your comments have been received thank you.";
} else {
echo "There was an error. Please try again or contact us using an alternate method.";
?></pre>

Interesting difference in Menus between 6i (client-server) and 10g (web)

I just noticed an interesting difference between Forms 6i (client-server) and 10g (web forms). Perhaps you know a work around.
We have an oracle form with a customized menu attached. The main body of the application displays nothing so we shrunk the application window down to the tiny window possible just leaving the 3 or 4 drop down menu visible. So it was basically this little floating toolbar where users could pull down a menu and select an oracle form to open.
The difference is that in 10g Web Forms when the pull down menu is accessed, the list of selectable items is contained within the FORMS_MDI_WINDOW (or the IE window). So if the list is long then the drop down list shows a small arrow at the top and bottom that forces you to scroll thru the remaining items in the menu.
Whereas in 6i, when the menu was access the contents of the menu would show in full. Even if it meant expanding the menu beyond the FORMS_MDI_WINDOW.
Does anyone know if I'm stuck with this functionality? If I'm stuck it will mean I need to make my little menu application full screen so that users can see all the items in a menu without having to scroll thru choices using these little arrows.
Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated!

This is a consequence of the client being Java. When you run a Java application in a browser it cannot draw outside the browser window area. It's fully contained within the browser in every sense. That is by design.
There is no way to get around this that I know of.

Web Form Errors?

Hi, sorry if this is in the incorrect section, couldnt find one specifically tailored to web forms.
I am attempting to edit the content of a web form. When laying out the design of the form in the web form editor, the html is not being updated with the changes I make. (I understand that the form needs to be inserted into a page, I am refering to html generated by the form editor) Specifically, when I drag an input field up or down to rearrange the order. The input field will 'click' into place, and I get a message saying that the layout has saved. Everything looks fine until I check the html code, the changes are not updating. If I check back to the form editor, everything looks fine again (in the correct order.)
I have tried everything I can think of, deleting and recreating the incorrect input fields, using the 'update' button at the bottom of the screen, etc.
The one thing I have found to work is that if I insert the form into a page, then rearrange the misbehaving input fields in the page html. This has worked, but then I am running into another problem that the data collected is still out of order. When a form is submitted, everything is in the wrong order in the email recieved by our accounting. This makes it very hard for them to sort it out and use the data.
I have noticed that each 'custom input" field has a unique number, possibly it sorts them according to this?
Thanks for the help!

Web forms can be inserted into the page as html or as a module. If as the html the edits and changes you do there will only be there. Anything done differently in the admin will not appply to that for in terms of its layout.
In the admin you have two things. Customise web form which runs updated changes so if you add as a module then what you change there will update in the module.
The other, the get html is just a static non changing raw html source output which is there to be used if you were giving someone the working code for that form to be on a different website.
If you are viewing that this will never change.
In terms of what you see in the admin and the form order.. If you make ANY changes to the html of a form the system will not try and take control of the source of the form so the ordering will not change. This is for you to do in the html yourself if you want custom modifications to that form.

Lost Page on when you should use MVC vs when you should use web forms

I read a page last week. I think it was on MSDN. It was talking about the relative merits of MVC and web forms. However, unlike the page http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd381412.aspx,
which merely states the advantages and disadvantages of each format, this page went on to state something like:
You should use MVC:
when building web apps that do this
when you web app needs that
when you are doing the other
You should use web forms:
when building these other kinds of web app
when your web app does this other thing
when your web app does this.
Does anyone know the page to which I am referring?
(Oh and since when did it become impossible to paste anything into a question or reply block in MSDN forums. This makes it very difficult to paste in page links.)
Also I am not seeing an appropiate forum in my forums dropdown list. So if a moderator wants to move it to the right forum I would appreciate it.

@Darnie Graceline Selvamary Thangalazar
The first link is not what I was looking for as it tells the difference between MVC and Web Forms but not which is better for what.
The second link does get more into which is better in certain situations but doesn't really analyze each type of project and specify that this is good for web forms and this is good for MVC. However, it does provide some ways to analyze if your
"situation" would be best served by using web forms and which would be best served by using MVC.
It specified that if reaction time is an issue then MVC is the answer. This is good because with our excruciatingly slow network we need apps that take inherantly as little time as possible to load.
I took another look at the link provided by gaurav. Turns out that link has a link to an article by Dino Espisito which actually has the statement that I referred to above i.e. if your app has a lot of busines data. After two years, that
is as much as I remember of that page. So in fact indirectly gaurav found the page I was looking for.
Too bad I did not re-read this link when I started the current project, though. One thing each of them says is that if your team (in this case me) has not had much experience in handling html elements directly then MVC is not a good fix for them.
For the last 6 months theis has been a major learning process in using JQuery, AJAX, and MVC to accomplish tasks which I've could have done using server controls and web forms with my eyes closed. Too bad they don't make MVC so that you can use server
controls with it.
However since this thread is so old and unlike "Whose Line is it Anyway?" the points
do matter. I am going to award the answer to gaurav. Thanks everyone for providing some very interesting links on MVC.

Host for Web Forms

Can anyone tell me how to provide a "HOST" type function that will run on local client, rather than on the server when using web forms?

You can achieve this with a signed Javabean in your Form that can call programs on your client (there is a metalink note on this).
We are currently working on such a bean that we will offer on OTN in the next couple of weeks probably.

Web form spam continued . . .

HI, I have tried adding a hidden field to my web form to help reduce spam. I am not sure what I tried will work and do I need to and how do I add some code to specify do not process form if this field is filled in?
Here is what I tried so far and any help would be awesome - Thanks Jim

<div style="display:none; visibility:hidden;">
     <label for="contact_email">Please leave this field blank:</label>
     <cfinput type="text" name="contact_email">
</div>
<div class="register">
            <cfinput type="submit" name="submit" value="Register">
            <cfinput type="reset" name="Reset " value="Reset Form">
</div>
               </fieldset>
</cfform>

I cannot see how anything you've said or done so far will help reduce web-form spam. Assuming you wish to prevent someone from maliciously submitting a form 10000 times to your site, then you have to use a CAPTCHA.
There is no easy, 1-2-3 way to add CAPTCHA to your application. However, some ways are easier than others. I would recommend Raymond Camden's Quick and dirty CAPTCHA Guide - for ColdFusion 8. It uses Coldfusion 8's in-built CAPTCHA functionality, and is relatively easy to adopt.

Calling Web Form from Client-Server Form

Hi. I have an existing Client-Server Form (6i) still in production that needs to call a Web Form and pass it a parameter. Obviously I can't use Call Form or New Form from the client-server version, but can I somehow issue a command line (including a parameter) that opens the Web Form? Any suggestions for accomplishing this?
I can create a command line like this, but have no idea how to pass a parameter to my Web Form. The Web Form named participants which has a Parameter defined named 'p_participant'.
*"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" http://9.35.32.206:7777/forms/frmservlet?form=participants*
I can also create a command line to open a web form like this to:
*"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" http://9.35.32.205:7777/forms/html/sas2.htm*
Where the sas2.htm looks like this:
*<html>*
*<body onload="document.menulaunch.submit();">*
Launching File Generation...
If the application does not load in 30 seconds then click the button below:
*<form name=menulaunch action=http://9.35.32.205:7777/forms/frmservlet?config=FileGeneration method=post>*
*<script>*
var wshshell=new ActiveXObject("wscript.shell");
var username=wshshell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%orauser%");
var pw=wshshell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%orapass%");
document.write("<input type=hidden name=userid value="+username+"/"+pw+"@sparc20*>")*
*</script>*
*<input type=submit value=Launch>*
*</form>*
*</body>*
*</html>*
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Edited by: Buechler on Apr 8, 2009 8:58 AM

Simply add to your URL as follows:
http://9.35.32.206:7777/forms/frmservlet?form=participants&otherparams=p_participant=<SOME VALUE>I assume you plan to use HOST to make this call. I would recommend something like this:
HOST ('cmd /c start iexplore.exe "http://9.35.32.206:7777/forms/frmservlet?form=participants&otherparams=p_participant=<SOME VALUE>"');

Yes,Nicolas..
then only application ruuning at port 9000 is isfrv60 i stardetd.
Not only..i can note, that if i start ifrsv60 port=9000 for first
and then i modify then listener number port of OAS to 9000, the
listener applet say me something like..i cannot able to fork...
So, i MUST to set AOS listener port to 9000,and AFTER start
ifsrv60 on port 9000.
Only in this way there are'nt errors..but nothing happens..
Same story if the number port isn't 9000 ..
However..i ask to myself, why the release note and guide on OAS
web pages are fills of all examples to how to do buldin
cartridges and application, but there aren't any examples about
web-forms!!

UCM Web Form, help needed

Hi,
I just have started working on Oracle UCM. I am majorly stuck with web form (HCSF).
Below is the form code,
<form name="CommentsPageForm" method="POST" action="">
          <input type=hidden name="IdcService" value="SUBMIT_HTML_FORM">
          <input type=hidden name="dID" value="">
          <input type="hidden" name="RevisionSelectionMethod" value="Latest">
          <input type=hidden name="FormDocTitleScript" value="">
          <input type="hidden" name="RedirectURL" value="?IdcService=GET_FILE&dDocName=&Rendition=Web&RevisionSelectionMethod=Latest">

</form>
If I keep the dID input field then it throws an error message like following
Content Server Request Failed
Unable to submit HTML form. The HTML form is not the latest revision.
If I remove the dID input field then it throws an error message like following
Unable to execute service (null) and function computeDocID.
(System Error: Either dID must be specified or RevisionSelectionMethod must not force the choice of a dID.)
I have tried to remove and add other input fields but nothing has worked.
Please help me out with this. Please point out where I made the mistake. I copied
codepieces from Bex Huff's book, that too had same error.
Regards
Udita

hi All,
I'm facing the same issue, I have a soap request which will update the metadata field on the service call.
The request url is coded as
var requestUrl = httpCgiPath + "?IdcService=UPDATE_DOCINFO" + "&dID=" + datafileID +"&dDocName=" + datafileDocName + "&xComments=" + inputComments.value + "&dDocTitle=" + inputTitle.value + &idcToken=#active.IdcToken" + "&IsSoap=1";
When I fetch the dynamic url and tried in browser then I get following error:
Content Server Request Failed
Unable to update the field. The authorization token is invalid. It has either expired or is not appropriate for the current request.
You may need to reload an earlier page in order to proceed.
See I have added idcToken as you guys suggested still token issue :(
Any pointer for this issue will be helpful.
Thanks

Help Needed in resolving problems with Hyperion Planning Web Forms

Hi,Can anyone help me with this problem?Problem:We are running Planning 2.3.1 I have created Webform & security(application owner has the ownership).Somehow Iam getting only 7 dimensions into webform & 1 dimension is missing in that. But whereas 8 dimensions are there in Essbase.Hsp_Rates dimension is available in essbase outline but Iam unable to see that dimension in the webform selection.And using the webform Iam unable to load any data ...the form is graded/protected.Is this happening because i dont have the requirement of 1 member from each Dimension?Please someone let me know why this is happening what might be the reason.ThanksUser

Hi,The dimension Hsp_Rates is a hide dimension used by Planning to store the exchange rates for the differentes exchanges.All the standard information is stored on HSP_InputValue member (in this dimension).When you create a web form, Planning automatically asign this member (but don't show it).Probably you can't load data because you are selected on Version dimension a Standard Botton Up version, and you only can load data on level 0 members in this type of version.If you want to load data on upper level members, then you need to create a Standard Target version (in the Version dimension) and select it in the form.Please, advice if this solve your problemClaudioBPD Solutions

Web forms in dreamweaver with godaddy. Help.

Please Help.
Regarding web form mailers using Dreamweaver cs4.
I’m a newbie to hosting and forms please help.
My scenario: I have a WINDOWS hosting account with GoDaddy. I am designing a simple little website that I want a form attached to it. You can view this website at palmertraditions.com/contactus.html. This will be the second website I have with Godaddy so they don’t support/help with any forms with “the secondary” website. I am using Dreamweaver and a friend to assist me in my design. I have done everything they have told me to try regarding their provided form mailers,
( ie <form action="_gdForm/webformmailer.asp" method="post">). I also tried their php one and that didn’t work either.
I talked to another guy at GoDaddy and he said that I should try a 3rd party script. ??? (and I should use asp.)

Passing Parameter from URL to Web Forms - Oracle 10 Application Server

Hi All -
I want to pass parameter from a URL to 10g Oracle Web Forms - Oracle Application Server 10.1.2
http://server1/forms/frmservlet?config=SATWEB_SSO&otherparams=username_sso=BABUS
How to receive this 'username_sso' value inside my forms application ?
Created a Parameter in the same name as URL parameter 'username_sso' in forms but didn't receive the value. I want to know how to receive the value of this parameter within forms from URL.
Thanks - Suresh

Try this,
1. Create a parameter in the formsweb.cfg (say username_sso) under default section ( or you can create it in your own config section)
2. Add the username_sso in otherparams parameter as username_sso=%username_sso%
3. Add this username_sso parameter in your form.
4. Run the form as
http://<machine>:<port>.....?form=blahblah....&otherparams=username_sso=scott

Help with Business Catalyst Web forms and Adobe Muse.

I created a websform to log into a secure zone using business catalyst. I pasted the webform's html into Adobe Muse. After publishing my site. The websform I created in business catalyst is deleted, but I can see all of the forms that I created using Muse in the webform section. Is there a fix for this problem? Thanks
This is the page with the forms. http://www.highestgoodclothing.com/login.html

There is a workaround. It takes a little more work, but it is definitely worth it and will solve your problem. I subscribed and learned from tutorials on the www(.)trainsimple(.)com. They have a video series called "Muse CC Business Catalyst Integration" which was very helpful. The issue that everyone on here is referring to is covered in the 3 videos labelled, "Email Sign Up Checkbox", "Moving Muse Webforms to Business Catalyst" and "Email Marketing".
Essentially, what you want to do is create a form in Business Catalyst, turn that form into a module, assign a tag to that module, then put the tag into Muse using Object > Insert HTML. This will solve Muse deleting the web forms everytime.

Dear All ,
I am very new with SAP HCM P&F with FPM form. I am stuck with field search help functionality in FPM form. I have created on search help using
Web dynpro component to get all travel requests for all employees and linked it to FPM form field and its working fine....
But.... my requirement is how to filter travel request based on the PERNR (employee number) field in FPM form.
I think it can be achieved by using importing parameter LISTENER of interface IF_WD_VALUE_HELP_LISTENER but I am clueless how to pass PERNR to this interface to get travel requests for only employee number in field PERNR.
Kindly help me out in this issue.
