Form extension

Hi
I have developed a new form ,for this new form i want to attach new accounting flexfield window to one of the columns of the form.so can you please help me in doing this.
Thanks and Regards
Uma Mahesh

Hi,
If I am not wrong then you need to display the Key-Flexfield "Accounting Flexfield" in your custom form.
I think you can use FND_KEY_FLEX.DEFINE in your WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE to invoke the KFF. Give your custom block and field name in the parameters.
Following is the detail of Accounting Flexfield.
Owner Oracle General Ledger
Flexfield Code GL#
Table Name GL_CODE_COMBINATIONS
Number of Columns 30
Width of Columns 25
Dynamic Inserts Possible Yes
Unique ID Column CODE_COMBINATION_ID
Structure Column CHART_OF_ACCOUNTS_ID

Viral.

Is there a license fee for installing Xamarin.Forms extension using VS2013 Nuget?

Hi, I have the VS2013 Ultimate with Update4.
I see many Xamarin extensions available in VS2013 Nuget packager manager. I'm interested in checking out the Xamarin.Forms extension. Is this free or requires a fee like after a free trial period?
Thank you.
Thank you

Hello laJasmine,
You need to see here about price:
https://store.xamarin.com/
And consult the Xamarin Forums for support about this issue：

The support for those extensions are not related to Visual Studio, they are third party products here.

HIDE FORM EXTENSIONS ITEM FROM TOOLS MENU

HI
can any one let me how to hide Form Extensions menu item from Tools Menu.
Disabling is possible but i could not able to hide it completely, i mean making it not to visible/appear.
Thank You!!!

I'm not familiar with the 'Form Extensions' menu item but have you tried using the CUSTOM.pll and set_menu_item_property(menu_option_id,DISPLAYED, PROPERTY_OFF);
You should be able to do it with forms personalizations but I'm afraid I don't know the steps for that.

How to install an autofill forms extension to a tool bar

The extension is on my list of add-ons.
Any help?

Problem solved

Acrobat Pro XI - I can't seem to be able to edit font sizes in a PDF Fillable Form

I have a PDF fillable Form which I wish to complete except for a few fields that need to be completed each time the form is submitted, and save it with those static fields completed and signed with an image of my signature.
Sometimes the font seems to auto change it's size to fit in the field it is intended for, other times it is either too small to read or too large to fit in the box and be readable. I've chosen the arrow tool and the menu choice Edit; Edit Text and Images, and they don't really seem to do anything.
One part of the form has two fields for phone numbers (Business and Home) and the Business entry is always too tiny to read, while the Home field is OK.
Aside from that, there are also two boxes with drop down menus which say Select with an arrow next to them, and one of them for example has choices of Male and Female. If I select one, later when the form is printed, the gender choice is overprinting on the word Select, making it hard to read.

Thanks for explaining that. I wish I had "Locked" all the fields before I started then, since I did get somehow get a couple of them rearranged by accident and it took some (not a lot) of work to get them back in the proper order.
For the present file, which I am not adding captions to, how would I set the "read only' property? I looked around in the Tools area and the only thing that looked possible that I found was Protection; Restrict Editing but I didn't go farther yet because it wanted me to set a password before proceeding.
Is it possible to make individual fields "Read Only" rather than the whole document?
As for the signatures, what I did is sign on a piece of paper, scan that into a JPG file, and then choose "Sign" from the top menu bar between the Tools and Comment choices:
This allowed me to drag the image of my signature to the line on the form where I am supposed to sign it, and place it there. Then when I save the form with that signature on it, if I open it again and go to Forms Edit, I get a message that the form contains no Form Fields, and asks it I want Acrobat to detect fields for me. If I choose yes, it then detects fields that were not previously filled in, but not the fields in which I had placed default entries before saving it.
I see where you mean about Signature on the left pane, but if I open that after loading a PDF that I signed using the above procedure, it detects no signature. So the "Digital Signature" you mention must not be the image of the signature like I am using. So if I want to make the image of my signature into a "Digital Signature" that can be verified, do I have to go to some third party paid procedure like Verisign or EchoSign or something or can I somehow self certify the image of my signature?
I notice, as a side issue, that if I upload the blank unmodified PDF Form to Acrobat.com, it lets me fill it out and saves the file with a "form" extension, and they have a menu choice to Sign, but if you choose that you just get a box in which it expects you to draw your signature with your finger or a stylus I guess, but the result doesn't look much like my signature, and then if you save it to the computer, it does save it as a PDF file, but if you try to print it, the printed document is blank, so that is kind of useless.
Thanks for your continued help!

JUNIT in Oracle Forms 6i

Hi
We are using Oracle Forms 6i to develop Oracle Applications form extensions.
Wanted to know if we use JUnit in Oracle Forms for testing?
Thanks
Rahul

Hi there
Thanks for the response.
I was thinking of Forms Data Loader to use as an option for unit testing in Oracle Forms since it does capture the events like button submit , but I dont think it does any verification of data like JUnit.
Please let me know what do you think of same.
Thanks
Rahul

Changing the Management Pack extensions or items are stored in

I think I know the answer to this but I will ask it anyway. Is it possible to change the Management Pack an extension or an object such as a Queue or Subscription is stored in?
Reason I ask is the person that was maintaining SM before me stored every single form extension, subscription, queue and view etc...in the same Management Pack. I really don't like this particular setup and I am sure its not best practice. I plan to break
out all the above and possibly more into separate newly created Management Packs, like a separate one for Views, a separate one for Subscriptions etc.... Is the only solution to delete the existing item and create a new one with the same details including
the display name?

You can, but not as easily as you would like.
Essentially, what you would need to do is split up the the XML by hand, making sure to sort out the DisplayStrings sections to the correct components. Export out the "main" MP, cut out a section of XML that represents the form extension, paste
it into a new file with a new name, add a reference to the new MP to the main MP, and replace all references to that object with MP Aliases to that object's new home. Import both the new MP and the reduced "main" MP back into the database.
there are two problems thou:
Some objects, like projections (used in form extensions created by the authoring too) and class extensions should only ever be stored in sealed MPs, because removing them causes data that reference them to be invalid, i.e. properties defined in class extensions
are lost if that class extension is removed and re-added, and templates that depend on projections are inaccessable if the projection they are based on is lost.
some atomic SDK objects, like workflows, consist of several non-consecutive XML sections, meaning you would need to trace the references and identify which of many <Rule> and <Action> sections belonged with which workflows, and make sure they
would all end up in the same MP.
now you could do this slowly, pulling sections out of the "main" MP and replacing them with references over various nightly downtimes, exporting the "main" MP and carving out a few objects, then importing the trimmed down "main"
MP and the new single use MP until you had something resembling best practice functional isolation (all Change request notification over here, all service request workflows over there, etc), and the hollowed out husk of your "main" MP as a miscellaneous
container, but i think you'll find that you still have to face and deal with data loss and breakage, potentially a lot more trouble then it's worth.
Given that, i would instead propose that you give up on correcting sins of the past, and start doing it right now. start setting up your new MPs and put new thingss into them, and while you're working, anything that you can easily rebuild. Make a plan to
rebuild your templates and form customization. start identifying class extensions you'll have to rebuild, and work up a plan to export data defined by them somewhere (probably powershell and CSV) so you can restore it when the classes are restored.
Like most data hygine problems, there isn't an easy bulk application answer. you just have to look at everything and clean it up as you go. you can mix salt and sugar quite easily. UNmixing them is a lot more work.

How to save form data as XML using Reader XI

Dear all,
I have designed a form using live cycle designer 9 and activated the form extensions using Acrobat X Pro.
The form includes an email send button.
Our clients uses the Reader X and XI.
Using Reader X the pressing of the button will open a dialog box asking the user to send the form/form data using the default email client
OR
one can save the form data as xml file on the local machine and attach it later.
However, using Reader XI there is no such possibility of saving the data as XML. One can just chose between the default email client or another email account.
I tried even a button using javascript xfa.host.exportData("",0); but nothing. In fact the button shows no function at all.
What do I wrong?
Does anybody has a hint please?
Thanks in advance.

I'm pretty impressed of Adobe and their stuff (I do NOT refer to the community), how helpful they are.
Perhaps I didn't understand the meaning on the offical customer support website, stating:

Ask our experts

Even worst, their is a similar question from 25/09/2013 (http://forums.adobe.com/message/5711946#5711946) and no feedback form Adobe stuff at all.
Great service guys!

Trying to understand this whole Reader Extension product

Hello,
I'm trying to get a handle on how this whole extensions thing works. We're using LifeCycle Designer 7 to generate forms (both and xdp and pdf). We want our users to be able to access data from ODBC connections and potentially from WSDLs. Our clients (right now) only use the free Reader 7.0.x.
It's my understanding that the pdf in this case needs to be 'extended' in this case. So say we purchase an Extension for this form for $x. Is this a valid scenario.
Pdf/xdp is generated. The pdf is 'sent' to an Extension server for some sort of encryption that the free Reader understands and thus enables the data access capabilities. Then the user is free to use this form and it's data access capabilities in perpetuity. Basically it's a one time fee for that one form.
If this is true, then...
Where is this Extension Server that encypts the form?
Does the free Reader have to validate against that or any other server to enable the data access capability?
What happens if the form is changed?
This might be it for now.
Thanks,
Bob

Generally the license is based on the number of users. I have about 550 users in my organization (DON in New Orleans), and I paid a fee based on that number. Theoretically the "unlocked" forms are to only be used by the licensed users. That is a bit difficult to do.
I will unlock a Navy form for my users, but its hard to prevent them from getting passed around to users outside my sphere of influence.
I usually put in some read-only statement that makes it difficult for others to use it. That is mostly for my own self-protection.
Actualy even after a form is unlocked, minor adjustments can be made to the form without it needing to be passed thru the reader extensions product. I've changed field attributes and even added and taken out fields with the form extension still intact.

Adobe flex vs Interactive adobe forms

Hi, I have used SAP Interactive adobe forms extensively. We used to use Web dynpro java or web dynpro abap to develop adobe related applications. In the meanwhile I would like to understand how adobe flex forms are different when compared to interactive adobe forms. Also I would like understand if the development environment remains the same if we use adobe flex instead of interactive adobe forms. And are there any special licensing requirements?
thanks

I would recommend Googling about this ;)

Workflow from form

I am trying to initiate a workflow from a form. I have seen several posts in the forums and confusing. I have a form called example user form. In that form I have placed a button. I want as soon as I press the button; test workflow should initiate. Workflow should open another form 'Empty Form'
Now as per forums I have created the workflow 'Test Workflow' with these 2 activities as below -

<TaskDefinition id='#ID#7544524B68A1C1D9:4789E350:10BB9306919:-7FE9' name='Test Workflow' creator='Configurator' createDate='1150132658734' lastModifier='Configurator' lastModDate='1150731476953' lastMod='79' taskType='Workflow' executor='com.waveset.workflow.WorkflowExecutor' suspendable='true' syncControlAllowed='true' execMode='sync' execLimit='0' resultLimit='0' resultOption='delete' visibility='runschedule' progressInterval='0'>

Not sure what am I missing or how to configure this ?

Hello Ketan,
thanks again so much for your response.
I wasn't sure if you preferred that I reply you on the Forum, or via email, since you wrote down your email address.
In response to your question..........I am not really sure how the Form is mapped. I customized the Form basically for one thing only : to CREATE USER.
What I did was : I copied the original IDM "Create User" form, modified it the way I wanted it, and imported it back into the Repository.
So, now, I have a fully-functional, customized form, for creating Users.
This form contains the original "Buttons" at the end : SAVE, CANCEL, TEST, etc.
I have no idea if it should be mapped anywhere. And, if it should, I don't know how to do this.
When the Form is completed, and I press SAVE, everything happens at it should. The Form is saved, the new User is created.
However, I want other things to happen, too. This is why I am so stuck on creating Workflows.
Let me give you an example :
For instance, the following simple script is part of my User Form (selection from a dropdown menu) :
<Field name='orderlunch'>
<Display class='Select' action='true'>
<Property name='title' value='Order Lunch'/>
<Property name='allowedValues'>
<List>
<String>- Please Select -</String>
<String>Yes</String>
<String>No</String>
</List>
</Property>
</Display>
</Field>
A small XML code, to indicate an order for lunch.
Naturally, if the user selects "No", then nothing happens.
But, if he selects "Yes", then I would like the Form to send an Email Notification to the appropriate person, notifying him that lunch has been ordered. (of course, I would need to indicate such things as WHO ordered the lunch, WHEN, etc, etc. But, I will get into that later)
In other words, if I choose "YES" for that particular variable, and then I press SAVE, to save and submit the form, then I want the Workflow to send an email notification.
I am guessing that, the code in the Workflow will be something like the following (Please, correct me if I am wrong)
*<eq>*
*<ref>orderlunch</ref>*
*<s>YES<s>*
*</eq>*
----- Create a new activity ----
*<Action id='0' application='com.waveset.provision.WorkflowServices'>*
*<Argument name='op' value='notify'/>*
*<Argument name='template' value='Name of Email Template'/>*
*<Argument name='toAddress' value='toaddress'/>*
*<Argument name='smtpHost'>*
*<ref>SMTPhost</ref>*
*</Argument>*
*<Argument name='from'>*
*<ref>from address</ref>*
*</Argument>*
*</Action>*
Is this correct?
Please, help me out here.
Thanks again

How to localize labels in customized forms in SCSM?

Hi,
when customizing SCSM forms I add label controls with the Authoring Tool. This results in a XML like this:
          <AddControl Parent="StackPanel499" Assembly="PresentationFramework, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" Type="System.Windows.Controls.Label"
Left="63.5" Top="39.0357407407408" Right="0" Bottom="0" Row="0" Column="0" />
          <PropertyBindingChange Object="Label_1" Property="Content">
            <NewBinding Enabled="False" />
          </PropertyBindingChange>
          <PropertyChange Object="Label_1" Property="Content">
            <NewValue>Requested by:</NewValue>
          </PropertyChange>
The content of the label is hard coded within the XML and therefore is always the same, independently from the chosen language of the console.
The question is: How can I refer/bind the Content property to a DisplayString from the LanguagePacks section of the Management Pack?
I tried something like this in my Management Pack:
Defined a FormStrings section:
        <FormStrings>
          <FormString ID="formTestString">$MPElement[Name="dhTestString"]$</FormString>
       </FormStrings>
Defined a new binding to the form string (googled from different souces):
          <PropertyBindingChange Object="Label_1" Property="Content">
            <NewBinding Enabled="True" Path="Strings[formTestString].Value" Mode="Default" BindsDirectlyToSource="False" UpdateSourceTrigger="Default" />
          </PropertyBindingChange>
Defined a string resource:
    <StringResources>
      <StringResource ID="dhTestString" />
    </StringResources>
Defined the display strings in the LanguagePacks section of the MP:
        <DisplayString ElementID="dhTestString">
          <Name>Hello World</Name>
        </DisplayString>
But after importing the MP, restarting SCSM service and console, the label is not visible in the form, its content is blank.
Can somebody help me?

I have no proof otherwise, but I don't believe it is possible to localize a value from within a form extension.
Label localization uses a RelativeSource binding.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/servicemanager/archive/2010/02/25/localizing-forms-service-request-example.aspx (note: this blog post talks about localizing labels on custom forms, not form extensions)
The <NewBinding> and <PropertyBindingChange> capability is a feature of the SCSM console framework and, as far as I can tell looking in the code, it doesn't support the creation of a RelativeSource binding.
By the way, you're not the only one to have asked this question..a couple people have asked in the forums in the past, but I never saw an answer. In fact, the only other references I can find to localizing labels and such revolves around custom forms or
correctly applying label values to copies of existing forms (but not applying values to new labels).
Hopefully I'm wrong and it can be done, but I personally don't know how.
An admittedly complicated work-around, however, would be to create your own custom XAML control and add it to your form..then you could use the relative source binding on the labels. But creating a custom control requires some experience with Visual
Studio and C#.

Data typed into this form will not be saved. Adobe Reader can only save a blank copy of this form.

This message is new. I have never had this issue before on my system. 3 days ago I created a PDF using LiveCycle Designer ES2 at my office - exactly like I have done for the past 2 years - and now I get this message when I try to open the PDF on my home system. I have always been able to work with these files until today. Yesterday I installed Office 365 and now I apparently have Reader XI on my system. Now every form I was able to open in the past will not allow data to save. What's the deal?

* This PDF form restricts some operations
This is all odd as this form is designed explicity with digital signatures, and has always worked; hundreds of people have used this form extensively since late 2012, and I have tested it hundreds of times - it has always worked, never had this issue. Unfortunately every PC in my home has Reader XI installed as of today (no Standard or Pro versions) and I will have to hunt for PCs that have only Reader (no Pro or Standard) at work.
