Display fields when web-enabling 6i form

I am web-enabling a Forms 6i application. All the display fields show up as black when the form is run thru the web. In our client/server version these display fields show up as gray. Why are the colors showing up different when form is run thru the web?
Thanks in advance.

> They have a default Visual Attribute assigned to them.
Do you mean their Visual Attribute Group property is set to "DEFAULT"?
And you did not answer the first question: What is the background color property assigned to the items? Does it have "<Unspecified>", or is a color assigned?
Assuming your Visual Attribute Group property is set to "DEFAULT" and they have <Unspecified> for background color, then what is the Visual Attribute Group of the canvas they are on? Does the canvas have a Background Color assigned? If not, try setting the background color and report back what happens.
It sounds like you are completely relying on Forms defaults for background, and the default item background on web is black.

Applying functions to database fields when querying for a form field

Hi,
how is it possible to apply trim() or another method to the content of a database field when a query is initiated?
The actual problem is that there are entries in the database which are entailed by a blank and, because the user is not aware of this fact, he cannot be forced to add a blank or % to the form field he is querying.
Does anyone have an idea how to solve this issue?
Thank you very much in advance.

The where clause is built that way:
WHERE (ETN.trim(ETN_PLZ)=:1)
The error message:
ORA-00904: "ETN"."TRIM": invalid identifier
Actually, I guess that the trim statements should surround ETN.ETN_PLZ but that is obviously not the case.
Apart from that I did not enter 1 as the value to query for.
Nevertheless, thank you for your help. Forms version is 10.1.2 by the way.

There are some good documents to help you understand what all is needed to take your Forms application from client/server mode to web, particularly this one:

Web enabling Oracle forms application

Friends,
I am developing an Oracle forms application using 6.0, I need to
web enable this application and this is my first time working
with 6.0, I need advise on how to web enable this application
Thanks

Try to go through the oracle developer and oracle developer
server 6.0 reviewers' guide, this is spot on, and has
instructions on how to set all html and environment variables,
set up the OAS or whatever listener you are going to use, and
then just walk through this setup.
Try to get it to run the demo first, and then alter the html to
fit your application.
good luck,
theo

How to web enable NT forms for Unix Environment

We would like to convert our NT forms
to Unix forms and make them web enabled.
We are looking for any UNIX setup information we can find so that we can get started.
We have already installed DEV6i Forms and Reports and it appears the server software went down as well.
WoW the questions.
Where does OAS 4.0.8 fit into the equation?
Do we need to use a JRE on the PC's? Is Jinitiator at the PC's O.K.?
How do you use the unix product Project Builder? -- what launces it? Is it motiff?
Is their any simple documentation for how to web enable forms.
It should be so complex --
Does anyone have a check list of what software should be installed.
Any directions for how how to configure the environment?
we believe we need some sort of checklist for what to do... Can anyone give any help.

You should install Oracle9iAS v1.0.2 on your unix machine. This will have The Forms services configured for you and save you all the manual settings.
Check out the internet deployment section on

Reader-enabled form from Acrobat is retaining interactive form fields when user saves the form

This is an issue that has only recently come up. In the past it was not a problem to take a pdf, add interactive form fields to it in LiveCycle, then open the form in Acrobat and enable usage rights for Reader users.
This allowed Reader users to fill out the form and save the results. With the most recent versions of Acrobat and Reader the user saves the form and the data AND the interactive form fields are saved in the resulting file - meaning that the data is still there to be changed. Clearly not what we want and not what Acrobat and Reader were doing previously.
The form does properly display "You can save data typed in this form" when opened in Reader.
I have got no response to this issue in the LiveCycle forum, and nothing shows up in a search. I would very much like to fix this, as it is affecting our entire library of pdf forms.

In most instances the form is linked on the website, so the original form will cannot be overwritten.
In some cases we have to supply an interactive pdf for a department that they will then distribute by email to various groups who are expected to fill the form out on submit on an ongoing basis. That is what I was meaning by the user filling out the form, printing it, and then being prompted to save changes.
The bigger issue is that most of our users expect to take a form hosted on the website, fill it out, and then save a pdf copy of their responses for reference. The reference copy is retaining the interactive fields rather than printing as a static pdf.
If I could force the action of printing as a pdf (rather than saving as a pdf) on submission I think that would solve the issue. The script for most of the forms in the library is xfa.host.print(1, "0", (xfa.host.numPages -1).toString(), 0, 0, 0, 0, 0); and I am not aware of a way to force the print to only be to the pdf print driver.

May be you need to update the values of the screen field like:
DATA BEGIN OF LNA_DYNPF OCCURS 1.
INCLUDE STRUCTURE DYNPREAD.
DATA END OF LNA_DYNPF.
    l_total = l_total + S10_QUANTITY.
    LNA_DYNPF-FIELDNAME = 'S10_TOTAL_PRICE'.   " field name
    LNA_DYNPF-FIELDVALUE = l_total.   " value
    APPEND LNA_DYNPF.
    CALL FUNCTION 'DYNP_VALUES_UPDATE'
         EXPORTING
              DYNAME               = l_cporg        " your program
              DYNUMB               = '0100' " your screen
         TABLES
              DYNPFIELDS           = LNA_DYNPF
         EXCEPTIONS
              INVALID_ABAPWORKAREA = 1
              INVALID_DYNPROFIELD = 2
              INVALID_DYNPRONAME   = 3
              INVALID_DYNPRONUMMER = 4
              INVALID_REQUEST      = 5
              NO_FIELDDESCRIPTION = 6
              UNDEFIND_ERROR       = 7
              OTHERS               = 8.

Acrobat XI programmatically reset/clear all form fields when opening a PDF form

I've got a PDF form document that I'm working on. I'd like to add something to it to programmatically clear or reset all form fields to blank when the document is opened.
Thoughts/ideas??
Mucho thanks!!

You can use the resetForm JavaScript method, either in the initial page's Page Open event or in a document-level JavaScript whic will execute when the document is opened.

Web Enabled forms

Hi
How can I web enable a form. I know nothing about HTML

Sorry if this sounds harsh but your description of how this works, is totally and utterly incorrect.
If you you work for Oracle (as your strapline indicates) and you wish to discuss this, then mail me offline.
You wrote..
"Forms server creates Java applets (no html code) from your *.fmx files ( now stored on the Application server) which are capable of painting the screen inside a browser which will look just like your client /server Forms apps. When a transaction is processed on the client Forms Server process the transaction on the Application server - not on your client PC."
-- Forms server creates Java applets
No it does not. Forms server spawns a process per user, that process loads the FMX and uses meta-data name/value pairs to pass instructions to the java client. The Java client paints the screen based on these meta-data instructions. We do not (and never will) dynamically create java applets.
-- When a transaction is processed on the client Forms Server process the transaction on the Application server - not on your client PC.
No it does not. The java client is completely and utterly unaware of any application level logic in the application. The java client merely indicates that something occurred (either you clicked or typed) the processing of this event including any logic, data retrieval and messaging is handled on the middle tier by the forms server.

What do I do to close eform on screen and display response of web service in another screen.?

Hi,
I am trying to build following functionality.
I want to submit form to a web service through SOAP request on click of a button.
I want to display response of web service like “form has been submitted successfully” on screen.
What has been achieved.
I am able to submit form to an adobe web service passing base64 string to adobe process.(see the script in image#1).
When I receive base64 string in adobe process, I am able to re-generate document (using getDocFromBase64(/process_data/@inputStr) ).
After that I am returning a message string to as response “Form submitted successfully”.
When I get the response I populate response to a text field variable (Out Str). See image#2
Problem/Desirable functionality.
I want to close this eform and display the message “form has been submitted successfully” on another page in browser so that it depicts to end user that form has been submitted successfully with confirmation.
What do I do to close eform on screen and display response of web service in another screen.?
Image#1
Image#2

Method1: This method only works in same PDF window.
On the click of the submit button, based on the webservice result we can close the PDF. As you already having in the "Out Str", this variable having detailed message kind of thing, so it would be easier if you have one more output variable to know if this submission is success or failure or can use the "Out Str", it self to compare and close the PDF.
Here i am using "strResult" to hold webservice success or failure using true/ false values.
Get the "strResult" value from binded field of webservice response and compare and close or display messages based on requirement.
var strResult = YourFieldname.rawValue;
                    if(strResult != "" && strResult != null){
                              if(strResult.toUpperCase() == "TRUE"){
                                        xfa.host.messageBox("Successfully Saved the Data.", "Submit Confirmation", 3,0);
                                        //Close the PDF
                                        app.execMenuItem("Close");
                    else{
                              xfa.host.messageBox("Failed to Save the Data.", "Submit Confirmation", 3,0);
If the result need to show in separate window and having LiveCycle process connected to PDF via. webservice or REST:
Method2. If the PDF inside the browser
Type1 - You can set the process output is document variable, this PDF may contain your static/dynamic message and this PDF. But with this method result PDF opens in same window, host pdf will be disappeared.
Type2 - You can set the process output is string variable, this STRING may contain your static/dynamic message. In this method the string will be appered in the same PDF window, host pdf will be disappeared.
Method3. If the PDF is stand alone (not opend in any browser)
Type1 - You can set the process output is document variable, this PDF may contain your static/dynamic message and this PDF. But with this method result PDF opens in new window, host pdf will be also stayed and may make readonly after submission success.
Type2 - If the process output is string, it cannot handle this situation, may get the content type exception while receiving the result string, because.
Used all of the above methods in various situations and it worked without any issues.

An error occurred while trying to connect to a Web service, when InfoPath web enabled form loads.

Hi Everyone,
I am getting an error message: An error occurred while trying to connect to a web service, when my InfoPath form tries to load. The last few days, it only spits this error message in the morning and around 12pm-1pm it resolves itself and the form loads
fine the rest of the day, oddly enough.
A few things about my form:
1). It is web enabled
2). The form submits to a form library on the SP server
3). I use the UserProfileService data connection in the form to auto-populate a few fields
4). I use a udcx file with correct language stored in the root of the site collection in the data connection library
5). The form has been working fine until a few days ago
I noticed while in Central Administration, that the User Profile Service Synchronization is Stopped. Not sure if this is causing some or all of the problem. If I need to start it I will need to contact my farm administrator to do this, since I do not
have the service account information.
Also, I looked thru the log files on the SharePoint server and found the following by searching for the Correlation ID shown when the error comes up, I won't put in everything just the important messages.
Schema file was already loaded: BuiltInActiveXControls.xsd
FormServer Partial Trust - Proxy operation invoked in the SHIM process.
FormServer Partial Trust - Invoking proxy operation for Web service adapter failed with exception Operation is not valid due to the current state of the object. for Url=https://<SP URL>/_vti_bin/UserProfileService.asmx
Data adapter failed during OnLoad: The custom code in the form cannot be run. This functionality may be deactivated on the server. For more information, contact the server farm administrator.
The following query failed: GetUserProfileByName (User: , Form Name: Expense Report, IP: , Connection Target: <SP URL>/Data Connections/GetUserProfileByName.udcx, Request: , Form ID: urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:infopath:Expense-Report:-myXSD-2014-04-11T21-06-32
Type: DataAdapterException, Exception Message: The custom code in the form cannot be run. This functionality may be deactivated on the server.

Hi B.,
You are on the right track. I recommend that you first get the User Profile Synchronization Service started because that itself could be the root cause of the issue.
If that doesn't fix it then focus your attention on the GetUserprofileByName data connection. I always use my secure store ID for this connection. I add the ID by editing the udcx file and then publishing it again.
Hope this helps.
