It's very much possible to publish the Form as a Portlet. Do the following things:
1) Select the Application in which your Form is residing.
2)In front of your Form name,in the Actions cloumn, Click the link named "Grant Access".
3) In the page that is presented to you you will see a title "Portal Access" below which there is a Check Box named "Publish to Portal".
Check this Box and Click "Apply" and then "Close"
This will create a Portlet of that Form which you can use in your Page
Also I am struggling about passing the parameters from one Form to another. I have posted this in the Forum but the things that they advise to try from the FAQ have not yet worked properly for me as yet. Also if you come across any solution pl. let me know

Is it possible to display Oracle form as a region in OAF Page?

Hi
Is it possible to display Oracle form as a region in OAF page something like a master detail relationship such that Master information is displayed in OAF UI but detail information below is displayed in Oracle forms?Is there a tag that lets one do that specific for Form.
One way could be do to embed applet in OAF page which would call and display oracle form but not sure if using javascript/applet in OAF would violate OAF coding standards or create some session management issues.
Regards
Preeti

Thanks for your reply.I have seen an implementation that uses Adf and able to display form on same page as in inlinefraame in .jspx page using inlineFrame tag
<af:inlineFrame inlineStyle="height:700px; width:1380px;"
id="inlineFrm1"
source="#{gofDrillback01.targetURL}"/>
But I guess OAF doesnt have a similar tag to support forms.Thoughts?

Displaying booking form errors on custom redirect web page

I have an event/booking with a registration web form that redirects to a custom web page (not the system page for bookings). If a customer signs up on the form using an email address of someone already registered for the event, their booking is not recorded, but I can't find a way to present the error on the web page that they are redirected to upon submitting.
The workflow notification includes the message, "ERROR: Booking could not be made as this email address is already registered for this booking."
There is a record of the failed attempt on the customer record with the email address that was used, but I need a way to tell the customer that their booking was uncessessful due to the email address used. Placing {module_error} on the web page doesn't seem to do the trick.
Any help is very appreciated.
Jake

I suspected that might be the case. Thank you for confirming. Any idea if the URL parameters applied to the redirected page indicate that there were errors? That would be awesome!

Adding a portlet to a page like the customize or edit link

I hope somebody else out there has seen or tried this...
I would like to have a list of portlets, similar to the way the repository displays them, inside of a portlet on a page. Each entry would be a link, that when clicked, would add the selected portlet to a different region on the page. Basically it would be a way to do the customize (add/remove portlets) function without having to click customize and drill into the repository. Is there anything in the PDK APIs or something that can do this?
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike -
What version are you using? The Portlet Repository Page group in 9.0.2.6+ is what you see when you add portlets through the normal UI. You can have a look in there and see what they call.
Hope this helps,
Candace

Displaying parameter form in Portal

we have reports created using 9i reports builder and are running them using 9ias portal version 9.0.2.2.22
can we get the parameter form displaying before the report is run, as at the moment it either gives an error because parameters have not been entered, or it runs with the last used parameters which may not be the ones required for this time ( and so reports take awhile to run)

hi
You could look at http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/discoverer/files/viewlets/1012_dashboard.html
I don´t remember if here you create the simple parameter form. But there is a portlet called "Simple Parameter Form", you can find it at Portlet Builders. You can reach this link in your Oracle portal in the Edit link, in the add portlet link.
then you can follow the wizard to create your parameter portlet
After this step you should link the parameters you send through this portlet with the page and the other portlets.
I hope this help

Error when displaying xellerate form

Hello,
I'm new to OIM. I am a new hire to a group that had a contractor setup the whole system. I'm finding a similar issue on our system here. I've looked through the database and cannot seem to find the issue. Error happens when from the webapp clicking on "Create IT Resource".
From the Error Log:
Class/Method: tcFormDefinitionOperationsBean/getFormFieldPropertyValue encounter some problems: Property 'Column Names' has not defined for the form field '-82'
Line with issue from FormMetaData.xml:
<Attribute name="-82" label="global.label.itresourcetype" displayComponentType="LookupField" variantType="String" dataLength="255" map="IT Resources Type Definition.Server Type" useInRule="true">
<ValidValues lookupQuery="select svd_svr_type from svd" selectionColumn="svd_svr_type"/>
</Attribute>
Please let me know any additional information/questions. From what I can tell everything should be correct. Sorry again if the answer is obvious, I'm only 3 days into OIM.
Thank you,
Ryan

In portlets, how to use a html form passing values to the another page?

it is well known that in web developing , we have two methods to pass values to another page.
but how to use two methods in oracle portal portlets?
I have got a simple example which submit two values to the page for itself, means a page has a form with submit botton, user input the form with values and then submit them by submit botton, then the page recevice those values and show it .
this example is powered by oracle ,
please have a look at these code:
<br><br>
<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" %>
<%@page import="java.util.*, oracle.portal.provider.v2.*" %>
<%@page import="oracle.portal.provider.v2.http.HttpCommonConstants" %>
<%@page import="oracle.portal.provider.v2.render.PortletRendererUtil" %>
<%@page import="oracle.portal.provider.v2.render.PortletRenderRequest" %>
<%@page import="oracle.portal.provider.v2.render.http.HttpPortletRendererUtil" %>
<%@page import="oracle.portal.provider.v2.url.UrlUtils" %>
<%
// The form submit URL refers to the current Portal page. All portlets
// on this page share this URL. This means that the per portlet parameters
// are in the same request. Portlets must ensure that its paramerters don't
// collide either with other portlets or other instances of itself. This
// is generally accomplished by using "fully-qualified" parameter names. A
// fully-qualified parameter name prepends the (unique) portlet reference to
// the parameter. The JPDK provides a utility to accomplish this.
String portletParamName = "mName";
String portletParamAge = "mAge";
String portletParamSubmit = "mSubmit";
String fName = HttpPortletRendererUtil.portletParameter(request, portletParamName);
String fAge = HttpPortletRendererUtil.portletParameter(request, portletParamAge);
String fSubmit = HttpPortletRendererUtil.portletParameter(request, portletParamSubmit);
// These are the session attribute names used to store the current values.
// Because all instances of this portlet share the same user session we must
// also fully-qualify these names to avoid collisions.
String sName = HttpPortletRendererUtil.portletParameter(request, "sName");
String sAge = HttpPortletRendererUtil.portletParameter(request, "sAge");
PortletRenderRequest pRequest = (PortletRenderRequest)
request.getAttribute(HttpCommonConstants.PORTLET_RENDER_REQUEST);
String formName = UrlUtils.htmlFormName(pRequest,null);
ProviderUser user = pRequest.getUser();
ProviderSession providerSession = user.getSession();
if (providerSession == null)
%>
Your provider session has been terminated or has timed out
and you need to logout and then login to re-establish the session.
<%
else
// Record, in session storage, the last values submitted.
if (pRequest.getQualifiedParameter(portletParamSubmit) != null)
providerSession.setAttribute(sName, pRequest.getQualifiedParameter(portletParamName));
providerSession.setAttribute(sAge, pRequest.getQualifiedParameter(portletParamAge));

Hi Moonsoft,
I have already answered this query in the other post at Re: how to link more than one links in portlet?(jsp develop)
<form name = "showPageForm" method = "POST" action = "<%= UrlUtils.htmlFormActionLink(pReq,UrlUtils.PAGE_LINK) %>">
<%= UrlUtils.htmlFormHiddenFields(pReq,UrlUtils.PAGE_LINK, "showPageForm") %>
<input type="text" name="param1">
<input type="text" name="param2">
<input type="hidden" name="myPPN" value="/htdocs/page2.jsp">
</form>then in your jsp code on page2.jsp, you will extract the parameters by specifying
<%
String p1 = request.getParameter("param1");
String p2 = request.getParameter("param2");
%>
>>this is easy common jsp or asp development, but in oracle is too diffcult!!!!
:-) .. there is a difference between web-applications and portlets, you just need to get used to it once. I hope this does clarify your doubts.
thanks,

Display SMART form as PDF in WD ABAP

Hi ,
To display smart form as PDF , I am following the SDN article :
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f0de1eb8-0b98-2910-7996-8a3c2fcf6785?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true
In my component , I have created the view VIEW_PDF, for this . I have created Adobe interactive UI element, and bind the property source to the attribute (XSTRING) where I will get PDF (after OTF conversion).
First of all I am using the FM SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME and usingf the import parameter fm_name .
Then using this FM
CALL FUNCTION lv_fm_name
EXPORTING
   OUTPUT_OPTIONS             = lwa_output_options
    GW_VENREQDAT               = lwa_venreqdat
    GW_REQHEADER               = lwa_venreqhdr
IMPORTING
   JOB_OUTPUT_INFO            = lv_ssf_output.
from smart form ZVM_SFM_SUMMARY,I want to get the data in OTF format using the importing parameter JOB_OUTPUT_INFO of the above FM.
But I am not able to retrieve the data .Please direct me , where am I missing?
For converting it to PDF , I am using the FM CONVERT_OTF .
regards,
amit

You may continue like this there after...
call function w_fmodule
    exporting
      control_parameters = w_cparam
      output_options     = w_outoptions   ":lv_output_options
      user_settings      = ' '
    importing

Cannot display pdf form with Adobe Reader 9.1.3

Since the last update of my Reader (last version is 9.1.3), I can't display pdf form in the workspace. I got a blank page.
Is anybody have the same problem?

- Go to the registry HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT > Software > Adobe >Acrobat> delete any older version that is older than the one you just updated to make sure it contains only the current one you have for both Acrobat Reader and/or Pro version since it did not removed when you uninstall or update.
- Also go the installed directory where you installed the Acrobat and delete any folder that contains older version, same here with the registry, it did not remove when you uninstall/update acrobat reader or pro.
The above steps also solve the problem of can not open pdf file within Internet Explorer or browser as well.

Display W2 form in PDF format in ESS

I am trying to develop a WebDynpro ABAP application to display W2 Form in the Portal 7.0 ESS. I have designed a view with an Adobe Form element to hold the W2 form, and looking for any ideas about getting W2 form in PDF format from the ECC 6.0 system by providing parameters like EE number, Tax Company, and year.
I know that the tcode PU19 can be used for getting W2 in PDF format, but it involves too many steps to generate and view the W2 in PDF format. I am not sure what kind of coding (e.g. classes, methods, logic to retrieve W2) will I need to do in the Web Dynpro application to retrieve W2 in PDF format from the ECC system.
I will appreciate and reward any useful answers or pointers.
Thanks,
Saurabh

Saurabh,
Have you found a way to produce the W2s without using tcode PU19. I am looking at doing W2s in ESS for our company and am interested in anything you have done on this.
Thanks,
Robert

Page "Display Trip Form"

Hi All.
I am implementing ESS/MSS for Travel expense. I want to use iView and Page "Display Trip Form". This iview and page is in Portal contend directory :Portal COntent -> Content provided by SAP -> End user content -> ESS -> Pages -> Travel and Expense .
When I take a pre view of this page I get bellow error message:
"At least one optional parameter must be specified when method is called"
Do you know why this message is comming and how can we fix it. Is there some config missing or do I need to set some property of iview/ page?
Regards,
Amit.

Hi,
Display Form aplication needs trip number & employee number as parameters. if you click on preview in PCD then you are not passing any parameters in application. once you associate this ivew with travel & Expense like in UWL or with some event then you can see proper output.

Amit
