Form Builder-- URL.

Hi folks,
   I need to create a form in which our user can enter a url. Then when somebody open this xml-document created by form builder, access to this url.
   We are using EP 6.0 SP11, in EP 5.0 was possible to do that.
   Any idea ?
Thanks a lot,
Patricio.

Hello Patricio,
I have done this, hope this is what you are looking for.
In the news creation screen a field read more... is made.
The users copy paste a URL here and save the message.
In the show layout the user gets a read more link. By pressing it he opens the url.
How is this done. In the edit layout you make a new field ex. URL. In the dataScheme URL it is a String field.
In the show layout you make a label. In the properties you fill out the caption -> ex "Read more" / Hyperlink - >"/DataSchema/News/url" /
You can also make the caption instead of a harded coded "Read more", a variable by referencing to a datascheme field.
Hope this helps.
Best Regards

Broken URL in executing forms from Form Builder (10g)

From Form Builder I'm trying to execute a form "opened".
I push "Run Form" button and i can see Explorer opening with a wrong URL :
"http://%%20http://127.0.0.1:3696/4gjkr8swXxZKBJppfymDMZmBSac7cACualcFLIa3Vgsk6hmm"
Obviously, "http://%%20" are wrong characters. If I erase them, I can see my form correctly executed. But I can't understand where are wrong characters .. in registry ?? ... in a configuration file ??
From Form Builder, i can only change the "Application Url" from Preferences/Runtime tab, but this is the "second" URL, and not the First startup Url.
Any helps ?

See Metalink Note 238159.1 for several solutions and/or workarounds for this problem.

Can't run form from Form Builder 10g - Port configuration problem?

Hi,
I have installed the Database (10.2.0.1.0) and the Developer Suite (10.1.2.0.2) on two Linux machines (Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES 4 Basic).
If I enter the frmservlet-URL manually everything seems to be fine.
In one case I enter http://127.0.0.1:8890/forms/frmservlet, in the other http://127.0.0.1:8889/forms/frmservlet; in BOTH cases I get eventually a dark square and the status bar says "Applet oracle.forms.engine.Main started".
HOWEVER, if I create a simple form with Form Builder and click on the Button with the green traffic light ("Run Form"), the form runs only on the machine where frmservlet listens on port 8890.
On the other machine (frmservlet configured to listen on port 8889) Firefox pops up, the URL "http://127.0.0.1:32979/6dOrpwghCqnp8PhMT7KVT533m3IaArqFbPqPBOztZXWYSsNy" gets called, and nothing else happens. The screen displays the string "ORACLE FORMS." and the status bar says "Waiting for 127.0.0.1...", and it stays like this forever.
I assume this is a port configuration problem, but I don't have a clue where to start.
Any suggestions how I should proceed are greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much in advance!

Hi Frank,
Thank you for your reply.
I doublechecked my configuration.
In the dialog Edit --> Preferences --> Runtime the Application Server URL is set to "127.0.0.1:8889/forms/frmservlet".
However, when I attempt to run the form, the URL "http://127.0.0.1:33140/W2dwbV9eXS2fPkuKlxNhCxFWdEihwDviat2uV7ycrSotqwDN" gets called.
The screen displays the string "ORACLE FORMS." and the status bar says "Waiting for 127.0.0.1...", and that's it.
I wonder how the port number 33140 got selected. Interestingly, this time it is a different number; last time it was port 32979. In fact, the port number seems to change each time; I tried again and now it is 33189.
I will now try to set the port number for the frmservlet to 8890.
I choose Edit --> Preferences --> Runtime and set the application server URL to "127.0.0.1:8890/forms/frmservlet".
I stop the container, open /home/oracle/OraHome_1/j2ee/DevSuite/config/default-web-site.xml and change the port number to 8890:
<?xml version="1.0" standalone='yes'?>
<!DOCTYPE web-site PUBLIC "Oracle Application Server 10g XML Web-site" "http://xmlns.oracle.com/ias/dtds/web-site.dtd">



<web-site port="8890" protocol="http"
display-name="Oracle Developer Suite 10g instance of Oracle Containers for J2EE Web Site">

 
 
 <default-web-app application="default" name="defaultWebApp" root="/j2ee" />

<web-app application="forms" name="formsweb" root="/forms" />


<web-app application ="reports" name="web" root="/reports" />
<web-app application = "reports" name="demo" root="/repdemo" />
 
 <access-log path="../log/default-web-access.log" />
</web-site>
I restart the container, start Form Builder, connect to the database, and open my test form.
When attempting to run the form, the URL "http://127.0.0.1:33437/Pl0n3ky9vmU5z37A7ScBnQhsGwq3jwuzJpgTAKWPMOYIzT8K" gets called (again a new port number, apparently picked radomly within a certain range) and nothing happens: "Waiting for 127.0.0.1...".
However, when I enter the URL http://127.0.0.1:8890/forms/frmservlet I do (eventually, after confirming that I trust the certificate etc.) get a darc rectangle and the status message "Applet oracle.forms.engine.Main started", which tells me that my setup can't be that far off target.
Here is the output of netstat:

XML Form Builder does not load

I am having the following problem, when executing the Form Builder tool under Content Management, it does not load and i get the following error message:
CONNECTION ERROR: couldn't read response code*
And sometimes the window gets freezed.
I have read some previous Threads regarding this issue but the solution did not work to me.
Someting really strange is happening because if i log to port 80 (http://...) it works, but when I log to port 50000 (https://...) it does not, and that error message pops up.
I have alredy run the Enviroment check Tool and results were OK in both urls, as follows:

Hello,
Immediately after opening the XML forms editor from the Content Manager page, you will get a link Start Environment Check Tool.... Click on that and proceed for a check. It will take some 5-10 mins based on your connection speed.If every thing is successful, clear the browser cache and restart the browser and open forms editor again. It will open the data schema and properties filed and project browser and all.
I was having this problem just now and i resolved it with the above steps.
My JRE version is 1.6 and portal is EP 7 SPS 21 patched.

Error writing output with iview for xml form builder

Hi,
I created a Xml Form Builder's project in which I developed an "Edit" and "ListEdit" sheet.
I also created an iview for theese in which the code link is:"com.sap.km.cm.xmlform",and the field for Style Sheet for List and for single item are set up correctly,but when I tried the preview the following error message happened:
com.inqmy.lib.xsl.xslt.XSLOutputException: Error writing output. -> org.w3c.dom.DOMException: Root Element is already present, cannot be appended as a child.
could someone help me?
thank's a lot!
Nick.

Hi,
Now I'm confused,what do you mean with create new data? Are users editing existing documents
(as if they go to a document example.xml > edit) or they are creating new documents (as if they go
on folder > new > forms)?
The problem is, in both cases a user would need read/write permissions.
The normal flow content (data) is created in KM is as follows:
1. user is assigned to a role
2. role contains KM Navigation iView
3. KM Navigation iView executes com.sap.km.cm.navigation component
4. user chooses New > Form UI command (edit_xml_forms)
5. edit_xml_forms UI command executes its code (com.sapportals.wcm.rendering.uicommand.cm.UIXMLFormsCreateCommand) and open xml edit for the user
6. user fill the form and click Save, form is created into folder
For what I understood so far, your requirement basically asks you to go directly to step 5, it is
possible to pass a URL that goes directly to step 5, the UI command button, but if you do that
you won't have a context, so chances that it will work are slim, since a context is required to
fill the parameters asked by the app (like folder, user, permissions, etc). Even though, in some cases you can
still pass the parameters via post in the URL but you must know which service/parameters the
app asks for it, also a URL is static...
That was the create scenario, I think it's more cons than pros, users would still be
able to bypass the URL iView created for that, I'd suggest evaluating again if it's really
a problem having users access cm to manage data
kind regards,
Rafael

Fmx is not running on brower with out form builder in system

Hi Members
i am using oracle database 10g(10.1.0.2.0)
Operating system :windows xp
browser: internet explorer 6
form : Forms [32 Bit] Version 10.1.2.0.2 (Production)
reports also same version...
i can able to compile and run my forms through oracle form builder. and i can get the out put on browser also. i configured browser setting in form builder as internet explorer as runtime browser.so i can get the output on internet explorer.
But my problem is i unable run the fmx directly. if i click on fmx it's not running on browser.Its just in idle position even it's not giving any error also.. is it require any settings to achieve this issue can anybody guide if any..
Can any body please give me the solution to my problem i am strggling for this issue...
Thanks in advance
Indra
Edited by: indra on May 25, 2012 8:29 PM

i tried same thing but still i unable to run the fmx on browser in my url tab i wrote like this
http://indra-123:8889/forms/frmservlet?form=MODULE1.fmx
But still its coming error on browser like "Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."The url is well, the problem with the browser might be with the jInitiator's version, you may try by changing the jInitiator's version, or by changing the Internet Explorer's version to 7.
Try this in your url:
http://indra-123:8889/forms/frmservlet?config=jpi&form=MODULE1.fmxWith this new parameter you are using java instead of jInitiator.
Have you tried using other browser like firefox ??

Run form via form builder

I'm having trouble running my forms via the forms builder. Everytime i click "run", a new browser window opens with url like http://127.0.0.1:1917/FYCu0odZTxl42wlbLoQ06rso8zKuYWEVV1TpUq4OddxheEMT
The port and uri is new everytime.
I have tried with and without the "App server URL" setting in the preference. I'm able to go directly to the form servlet. I aslo have installed JInitiator
I have tried with both IE and Firefox and both behave the same way.
My OC4J is up and running.
Am i missing some setup ? I'm out of ideas...please help.

Hi,
the OC4j knows this from your default.env file
In this file you can set your forms_path. If your directory is mentioned here than OC4J will pick up your form.
Are you sure it's running on 8819 and not 8889?
What version of windows do you have and of IE and firefox?
So you can access this
http://yourserver:8819/forms/frmservlet
This should give you a forms installed succesfully form at runtime
If it works put this in your edit preferences runtime url in your forms builder
you can also put named configs in your formsweb.cfg and use different env files to have multiple applications starting
if you do so there is an example from webutil
your URL looks like http://yourserver:8819/forms/frmservlet?config=webutil

WUC-015 in Forms Builder Run Form

When running a form via Forms Builder, I receive WUC-015. When running the same form via the "Run a form on the web" (runform.htm), it works fine. What did I configure wrong?

I am running Developer Suite 10g. I have the OC4J instance running. I have a simple form with three buttons that do "webutil_host.host", "webutil_file_transfer.Client_To_AS", and "host". When I "Run a Form on the Web", I am prompted to accept the certificate and the beans load and the form works as anticipated. When I run the form from Forms Builder, I get no certificate and the beans do not load; producing a blank Webutil canvas (yes I know, it is not supposed to be the first navigable block, but while learning I wanted to see it), and the "...form must contain the following bean..." error.
I have "compiled PLSQL -> All". I am passing "&config=webutil" with my Application Server URL in my Runtime preferences.

11g forms builder is not able to initiate the Internet explorer

Hi,
my problem is that my forms builder is not able to open the form in IE during compilation if Internet explorer is not already running but it is able to open the form in a new tab if Internet explorer is already running.
My system's specifications :-
Oracle forms builder 11g
Windows 2008 SP2
Internet explorer version :-Internet explorer 9
Please help.
Thanks,
RS

1. In the Builder verify that you have valid values for the Application Server URL and Browser Location fields in the Builder Preferences Runtime (tab). Do not leave either field blank.
2. In the browser settings, on the Advanced tab, scroll down to the Security section and check the box labeled, "Allow active content to run in files on My Computer".
3. Click Ok to save the changes. Close ALL open browsers
4. Retest

Configuring Forms Builder 10g to run (Ctrl-R) against application server

I would like to run forms from my working directory against our development application server and config, rather than having a local OC4J running. I have configured this by setting the application server URL runtime preference to "http://<server>.<domain>:80/forms/frmservlet?config=dev". This works fine.
However, when I run the Form, I get "FRM-40010: Cannot read form H:\Neil\TAF00180.fmx". This is because we open our FMBs from a locally mapped drive (i.e. I opened the FMB from H:\Neil\TAF00180.fmb). When run against the application server it seems Forms Builder trys to run an executable with the same path as the FMB - H:\Neil\TAF00180.fmx, but the application server has no knowledge of a mapped H-drive.
The only solution I can think of is to have an H-drive mapped on the application server to the same location as our locally mapped network drive.
This doesn't seem like the correct solution to me. How should we configure Oracle Forms 10g and the application server to allow us to run our own working versions against the applications server and config?

I guess Neil concern is that OC4J and Forms Server are using own formsweb.cfg and .env files
And settings can be different.
For example what if local formsweb.cfg configured to run Jinitiator, but server formsweb.cfg configured for JPI, or they configured with different lookandfeel parameter, or local and server default.env use different NLS_DATE_FORMAT?Hi Slava, Hi Neil
I think this is more related to "discipline" for the developers....
@ Neil : How many developers do you have in your team ?
Are developers allowed to "customize" their formsweb.cfg and .env files ?
or more customized basejinit.htm, registry.dat, additional jar files ... etc
or more using different oracle_home for their installation of Developer Suite.
@ Slava : Using local formsweb.cfg and .env files might not be a problem if every developer machine is installed the same way (i.e. the same oracle_home).
Also, I don't think that using workingDirectory to network shared connection for each developer is a solution
[dev1]
workingDirectory= H:/dev1
[dev2]
workingDirectory= H:/dev2
And at least this is requiring customized *.env files ! as the forms_path should be set for runtime in it for each developer.
The registry entry is only for the builder to find the path to mmb and pll files for example, and compile well, but the runtime is using *.env files.
And what about developing in windows and deploy it to linux ?
I recently managed a project with junior and undisciplined developers. The boss had the same concern about each network drive per developer.
My concern was how to eliminate all subjective considerations..
And my answer was "Subversion" no mess with local or network version with the "copy of the copy of the copy of the fmb files".
So all forms_path were set to C:\myApp\forms etc and each developer made a checkout and commit versions twice a day.
And the Application Server was also "checked out" to have the latest revision and then ran it into a pre-version for production.
If I had to make some important changes in the *.olb file or the *.pll files then I made a commit for all developers and then re-compile all *.fmb and re-commit and checkout again.
I really don't matter if the developer used jinitiator or jpi but the right working copy.
And standalone OC4J was enough to make basics tests for each developer.
More tests were made by project managers at the application server level and then adjustments (if required) where sent to developers.
Hope this helps.

Forms Builder Starting With 500 Internal Server Error

Hi,
I'm having a problem while starting Forms Builder from portal. It gives 500 : internal server error.
When I start the check tool it stops in step "XML Forms Builder Jar Download" saying /irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/etc/xmlforms/km.appl.xmlforms.xfbuilder_core.jar is unsigned.

Hi,
In KM Content goto /etc/xmlforms/km.appl.xmlforms.xfbuilder_core.jar and download the file to local files system.
Now open the jar file with winrar/winzip and open META-INF folder, there you should find SAPPortalsCertificate.SF and SAPPortalsCertificate.RSA files.
If these files exist in META-INF folder, then you jar is signed and if not unsigned. For security reasons classloader does not allow to open unsigned jars as some other jars in classpath are signed.
So if these files not present in META-INF folder, then replace the corrupt km.appl.xmlforms.xfbuilder_core.jar file with file that works on some other server.

Error in XML form builder

Dear Experts
When I am opening XML Form builder, both my form builder window and the EP window are closed.
Appreciate your response.
Regards
Shanmukha Rao Banisetti

Hi Shanmukha,
Login to the portal with administrator rights.
Replace the url with
http://host:portnumber/irj/go/km/docs/etc/xmlforms/xfcheck/xfbuildertest.html
You can access the XML form builder environment check.
Run the application and see if you miss something.
Good Luck!

How to debug a form module (Oracle 11G Forms) through URL

How to debug a form module (Oracle 11G Forms) through URL.
My server OS is Unix. So i could not able to do the Debug Forms from the Form Developer.
It is displaying a message that "Cannot find the module". Becuase the system is trying find out the module in Unix system instead of ma local system(Windows).
I need to debug ma module through URL.
I can place the fmb and fmx in predefined form path in Server.
Please help me out to solve this issue..

This is a little unclear. If your goal is to use the Forms Builder Debugger while running your form on a Unix machine, this can be done. However, the form must first be in running order. So before trying to attach the debugger you must first be able to start it without the debugger. For example:
http://yourServer:OHS_port_number/forms/frmservlet?form=yourFMX
Once this is properly running you can turn on debugging. If your form won't even start, then using the Debugger isn't going to help you because it is designed to troubleshoot coding problems and not configuration problems.
So, do this to use the Debugger:
http://yourServer:OHS_port_number/forms/frmservlet?form=yourFMX&debug=yes
This will display a dialog box with some information. Do not click on OK yet as you will need this information to enter into the Forms Builder. Now, open the Forms Builder and click on Debug > Attach Debug. You will be asked for the information displayed in the dialog where you attempted to start the form. Enter it here (in the Builder) then click on ok in both places. To display the Debugger (in the Builder), click on Debug > Debug Console. Then from its toolbar click on the buttons related to what you want to monitor. Including a break point in your application code is often a more helpful way to use the debugger.
Most of this information is explained in the Forms Builder Online Help
Forgot to mention...
To debug runtime issues, refer to the Forms Deployment Guide here (this assumes you are using 11.1.2):

Forms Builder / SAP Demo News / Where is the Savepath specified?

Hi there,
i just want to check out how the forms Builder work and if i can use it for some little things in our Portal.. so i wanna try the SAP Demo News....
So i think i check how it works.. but i have only one question.. where in the Forms Builder in SAP Demo News is specified where the news are saved when i write one?
So the Standart Path is: \documents\News
So what is if i want to change the path to: \Documents\xyz
Where in the Form i have to specifie this?
Regards
Bjoern

Hi,
Chk this thread.. [http://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1503773]
You can pass the path as parameter (post/path=) to the url.
For example
http://server/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.xmlformedit?XMLFormID=new_form&post/path=/documents/UserMessages
Also change the configuration of km folder to your new folder. This will alow to edit the news directly from km folder.
Go to System administration -> System configuration -> Knowledge Management -> Content Management -> Form Based Publishing -> forms availability.
Creat an id with the following properties - the folder path within which the form has to appear for e.g., /documents/News and under the Forms to Include - Mention the XML forms to be included.
Please check the below document.

Hi!
For forms 6i client/server just create a shortcut for your application like:
%forms_home%\bin\ifrun60.exe your_formand set the working path to your forms folder.
For web forms create a shortcut with the url to your server/pc like this:
http://pcname:port/forms/frmservlet?config=your_configand create a config entry in your %forms_home%/forms/server/formsweb.cfg
for setting the modulename (fmx) and the working path for your application.
Regards
