Diff. btwn Form Template & Table?

Hi Guys,
Wat r the differences between Template and Table(if possible with example)? Pls. list out.
Thank you.

In SAP SmartForms, templates (from template node) define the format of the columnar output but they are just structures which can used to set how the columns in the output are placed. Whereas as tables actually contain rows to hold data. The Template contains a fixed number of rows and columns, where the output is fixed. The Table can have variable number of rows
The application data is selected in the application program and transferred to the form using the form interface. In contrast to the template node, the table node has another tab called the Data tab. On this tab, you enter the internal table whose data is to be output. The data is read to a work area in row format.
The table layout is determined using row types (this is same for templates).
A header area (for table headers), main area (for items of the table), and footer area (for whole sums, or similar) are table output areas. Table rows are created as subnodes of these areas.

Diff. btwn Form Interface & Global definations?

Hi Guys,
Wat r the differences between Form Interface and Global definations(if possible with example)? Pls. list out.
Thank you.

When you create a SmartForm and activate it creates a function module which has same interface as the Form Interface of the smartform. Smartforms are always called by calling the corresponding function module. There is 1 fm for each smartform. The form interface has the IMPORT, EXPORT, TABLES and EXCEPTION, same like in a fm
Global definitions in smartforms is used to define data variables, type definitions, field symbols, form routines etc which are used globally withing the smartform. Every part of SmartForm can access these objects defined in Global definitions.

Diff btwn Monitoring Template and Notification Rules

Can anyone tell me the difference btwn when I should use a Monitoring Template and when I should use Notification Rules? I understand that there is a calendar setup for Notification Rules, but other than that, when should I use which? They look like they do the same thing.

With Monitoring templates, you set them once and apply them to multiple targets across your entire enterprise. So it gvies you a faclity to standardise stuff. For instance, you can create one template each for different database environments (e.g Development, Testing and Production). So each time you discover a new databases, instead of going in to database t manually define new metrics for the lot, you simply apply your already created template to them. Another example advantage is that each time your team decides that all production database tablespaces should change from a Critical of 90% to 85%, you simply change the template and reapply instead of doing it one-by-one on each database.
With Notification Rules, you are choosing the targets and the conditions with which you want to receive notifications. For instance, you have set all your Critical and Warning thresholds for say % Tablespace Space Used. When this threshold is reached, you want to be notified using the notification method you have set. Say via email or sms. So you create a notification rule that includes this metric, specify the notification method and indicate which administrators receive that notification.

How to add additional lines to the Order Form template?

I purchased and installed Acrobat Pro 9 because of its ability to create forms and found the Order Form template is just perfect for what I need, why reinvent the wheel, right? Except I found I can't figure out how to add additional object that duplicate what is already there. I highlighted an entire row and tried to just copy and paste but the past function put the copied objects at the bottom of the form in what looks like a group, all out of order. I tried looking in the online help for a possible key combination that would inset an additional row of objects but couldn't find any.
Also the form doesn't move down and create a new page keeping all the other elements in line, it moves to the bottom of the current page and stops. Thought the template was based on a table so I was going to insert additional rows thinking once it reached the bottom of the current page it would automatically break to a new page and continue, but it's not a table. So my question is, how can I add duplicate object that match the Order Form templates Item, Description, etc. objects? I've come to realize learning to use this product is not going to be as simple a proposition as I was lead to believe. O well, live and learn!
If someone can point me in the right direction, any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Barney! It's even easier than the solution I came to: copying and pasting into the field.

Getting error while creating form and report on webservice: ORA-20001: Unable to create form on table. ORA-02263: need to specify the datatype for this column.

i am using the following description to create a web service reference:
web reference :REST
Name :Yahoo Map
URL :http://local.yahooapis.com/MapsService/V1/mapImage
HTTP Method: GET
Basic Authentication: No
Add Parameter:
Name       Type
appid        String
location    String
Output Format: XML
XPath to Output Parameters : /Result
Output Parameter:
Name       Path       Type
Url          /text()      String
Then i tried to create form and report on webservice:
Web Service Reference Type: Yahoo Map
Operation: doREST
All the fields i keep as default
I tick the checkbox (url)in report Parameter
After clicking next whereever required i click create button
I get the following error
ORA-20001: Unable to create form on table. ORA-02263: need to specify the datatype for this column.
Please someone help to solve this as i need to fix it urgently.

i exported the application from apex.oracle.com and imported it to our environment
import went fine, but when I ran the IR page I got
ORA-20001: get_dbms_sql_cursor error ORA-00904: : invalid identifier
evidently the problem is a lack of public execute on DBMS_LOB, which is used in the generated IR source.
while waiting for the DBA to grant privs on DBMS_LOB, changing the dbms_lob.getlength call to length() fixes the IR.
however, i am not getting the download link on the associated form page... changed templates, that's not the issue -- we'll see if that's a dbms_lob issue as well

I want to view the results in the form template, rather than in rows and columns, I can print them as .pdf but want to view them online

e.g   DOB:
       Name:
If this is the form and   100 people entered it I would like to go to form template and click forward arrow to go thru all 100, so I can review all of the results
Like you can in access
thanks

You can download the PDF that you are wanting to look at. In safari if there is a link to a pdf you can usually Control Click or Right Click and select to save it to the desktop. From there, you can open the PDF with Acrobat.
If i'm not mistaken, though, PDF's will default to Apple Preview, so if you want PDFs to open with Acrobat by default, you can set it that way by highlighting a PDF then hitting (Apple) I. In the Info pane, expand the "Open With" field, set the program to Acrobat, then tell it to Change All if you want all PDFs to default to Acrobat.
Hopefully that will help!

The data source "....." referenced in the form template is not valid or cannot be found

Greetings,
I have an InfoPath 2013 form that uses an external data connection. The data connection became corrupt (somehow, no one knows who changed what). A user went in to InfoPath designer and created a new data connection and changed all references
to use that new data connection. Now the form cannot be published at all with the error
"The data source "GetUserProfileByName" referenced in the form template is not valid or cannot be found"
The new data source they created is GetUserProfileByName2 and changed all references.
Of course, since it is broke, they asked me to see if I can find the issue. I went through the form looking to see if they missed any references to the old data connection and can't find anything.
Where is InfoPath storing the old data connection information and where can I remote it? I looked in the manifest and don't see it there either.
Any thoughts?
Thank you!

Hi Bob,
There are many XML schema files for the data connection, I recommend to check if the references to the XML files have been changed to the new schema files in the manifest file.
For example, if we create a data connection called GetUserProfileByName, then there will be one XML file and three XML schema files for the data connection.
Please make sure that all the references are updated in the manifest file.
Thanks,
Victoria

How to print out the Forms and Table fields relationship, data mapping?

I create a forms and tables relationship inside the Form Developer 11g, once I created the Data relationships between the form data field and the Table column name. I don't have any command to print it out, such as Layout Wizard.
Are there any programs on Windows platform can print it out?

How to create a Custom form Template..

Hi Eperts,
I would like to seek a help from you regarding creating a custom form template on custom BO. could you guide me where i have gone wrong in successfully creating a Print form. I am in dead need of this particular solution for a client. It is hampering my entire scenario......
1. I had created a Custom BO and I am trying to preview the created form on the OIF screen.
2. I had created a form on above of the custom BO. This created form and form group is activated and configured as of needed by opening it through ALD (Adobe Life Cycle Designer).
3. I had created a BAC element with some scoping questions and activated it. After activating it i had deployed the Business configuration.
4. my solution got updated with the created and deployed BAC elements and i had done scoping for those elements to make my created form available.
5. I can see my form template in Form Template maitaince under Application user managment WOC. I had made it to be available for all users and published.
6. All the above steps are done success fully with no errors.
7. When i accessed my custom BO and tried to preview the created form i am unable to view it and i am seeing the following window.
Could you help me out in solving this or send me across any detailed document regarding this what you had done previously.
Thanks in advance for your valuable help...
Regards...
Hanu K

It looks like system didn't identify the form template. So please check if the required configuration for "Preview" modal dialog is done properly. In the SDK documentation, refer to section "8.4.3.4 Create a Preview Button for a Print Form"
If you have already done the steps mentioned in the section 8.4.3.4, but still facing the issue then let me know.
Best regards,
Hari

Looks like there is a 127-column limit on the number of report columns supported when using that wizard. Do you have more than that?

Ora-20001 when creating a form on table with report (bug?)

Having some trouble creating a "Form on table with report".
1) I pick my table
2) take most of the defaults on the page where you pick the report type (interactive) and the page number (I changed it to 950). next->
3) Do not use tabs. Next->
4) Select all columns for the report. THEN (here's the problem) set an optional where clause of system_role_name like 'ODPSPOPUP%'. Next->
5) choose standard edit link. next->
6) Specify a page of 951 for the form (leave others defaults). next->
7) Set the form primary key (defined in table). next->
8) use existing trigger. next->
9) choose all columns for the form. next->
10) Leave actions to insert, update, delete. next->
11) Get to the summary page and click Finish
Then I get an error page saying:
ORA-20001: Unable to create query and update page. ORA-20001: Unable to create query and update page. ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended
If I go back to step 4 and erase my where clause the wizard completes successfully.
Also if I change the report type in step 2 from the default of "Interactive" to "Classic" the wizard completes successfully. However upon running the report I get a query parse error. Looks like the where clause in the report sql is: system_role_name like ''ODPSPOPUP%'' (two single quotes on each side).
It looks as if you cannot specify a where clause with a quoted string. The wizard is expecting a bind variable.
Workaround(s):
1) Don't specify a where clause when report type = Interactive in "create form on table with report" wizard.
or
2) Specify a bogus where clause using bind variable syntax such as "system_role_name like :BOGUSVARIABLE". Then edit the report query once the wizard finishes and change the where clause to the constant string you wanted to use in the wizard (e.g. "system_role_name like 'MYSYSTEM%'")
Apex: 3.2.0.00.27

Andy,
It's a bug, all right. Thanks for the detailed problem description. We'll fix it when we can.

How to generate PDF using FDF file and the PDF form template (PHP)

Hi Folks,
I'm really sorry that I couldn't follow all the valuable discussions going on here, regularly. I need some immediate help.
I NEED A PHP SOLUTION. I'm able to generate FDF files using the PDF Form Template in PHP. So, I have a collection of FDF files, which seeks the PDF template, while opened and populates the template with FDF data. Now if I need to save this PDF file, I have to do it manually clicking SAVE option. But, I need to convert FDF to PDF in bulk. So, I need some PHP based solution. The PHP script takes the PDF template and the FDF file and merges them to generate a complete populated PDF file. I know it's possible, but don't know how. I've seen Adobe FDF Toolkit. But by default it doesn't show any guideline for PHP. Please help me to write this code. I'm a professional coder. I can understand your hints and tutorials. PLEASE HELP GOOD PEOPLE.

The only reason I am responding to this post is because the poster sent me a request through the forum message system asking for my help.
Although I did populate PDFs with FDF data generated by web forms a year or so ago, I have since abandoned that kind of solution. It was a big headache. I found it far more stable and flexible to use html, php and css to populate forms that are almost as nice looking as PDFs.
So my advice is, if you can possibly avoid going the FDF/PDF route, you will be better off.

PDF form template displaying multiple sets of data loaded from xfdf

Hello
I would like to use PDF Forms with data stored in xfdf files.
Is it possible to create pdf form (template) for displaying and printing multiple sets of data stored in xfdf?
For example: pdf form contains 2 sets of data. Form field names: F_1 and F_2.
I have 7 sets od data. All I need is to create pdf and xfdf that can be displayed in PDF reader and printed
as document consisting of 4 the same pages containing different data in form fields loaded from xfdf file.
(something similar to Mail merge in MS Office Word).
How it would be done? Is it possible to make such pdf, xfdf?
If yes, where I can find examples (tutorial) of creating such forms, please?
Thanks.
J. Jas

It is possible but not just a simple import of data.
Each form field in the multiple page PDF would need a unique name not repeated on another page of the PDF. Fortunately the Acrobat form standard includes the "template" object and this object can be spawned or used to add a new page with the form fields automatically renamed with a prefix string of the page number and template added to each form field on the new page. So if one were to import a row from your tab delimited file into the template, one could then spawn a new page from the template with the data and rename the fields so there would be no conflict of like named fields.

With newer versions of Acrobat there is a mail merge feature.

Doubt in Form Template Customization Using VSTA

Hi All,
i have doubt in InfoPath form development using VSTA.
I have one form template, i want to auto fill(Using Hard coded) some of fields in that form like name,date and mobile number.
Can any one help me out how to do that.
Thanks in advance!

Hello,
No need to use VSTA if you just want to set hardcode values. You need to set rule on form load event. Refer this link to set field value on form load:
http://www.bizsupportonline.net/infopath2007/infopath-basics-how-to-populate-form-when-opened-loaded.htm
Anyway if you want to auto populate user detail from sharepoint then use userprofileservice.asmx service. (YOu will need to create user profile service in your farm to leverage this)
