Form Guide - dynamic field within dynamic container.

I have a form Guide using dynamic containers, but within the dynamic container on the Form Guide within the same Repeater Accordion Panel, I also need a dynamic Row (2 fields) that need to repeat within the repeating container. I have built this in Adobe Lifecycle ES and once the Form Guide is finished will be taking it to Adobe Workbench to render.
Could you please assist in how to make the dynamic row repeat within a container/panel that is also already repeating?
Thanks.

Penny,
I have a requirement for the same thing. Unfortunately it doesn't look like this is possible as there is only one dataProvider per Panel - based on the type of panel chosen, this dataProvider will be used to populate a control (accordion, grid or tab) in the panel or used to populate a number of repeated (static) panels.
My workaround has been to create a set number (10) of repeatable control panels (accordian, grid, tab) and then use the panel display rules to hide those panels with no data in them. It is very tedious to do as the guide builder has no rebind feature (you have to create all 10 panels from scratch - you can't copy & paste the layout, then rebind the panel items to another field in the form).

Identify price [Derive dynamic pricing] related fields within sales quote output form in SAP cloud for customer CRM application

We have designed a Sales Quote Output Form using ADLC for SAP Cloud for Customer (C4C). We need to print both header and item level price details like Unit Price, Tax%, Tax Amount, Discount %, Discount value on the output form. We are now struggling to find the actual fields which will carry these values in the transaction. We are using multiple pricing procedures which have different condition types. The struggle is to find the actual condition type while generating the output. Can somebody guide which fields could carry these values which condition type. Can this be achieved without coding. Please guide.
I have added two screen shots for reference.

I am not sure I understand your question. What I think you are asking is in your data binding where is the data for fields in question. That is something you will need to get from whoever defined the data. The connection simply binds the data to your form but determining which field carries that data is not something this group would be able to help with. I would go back to your DBA and ask for a schema or DB reference to show which bindings will carry that data. Does that help?

Dynamically create Form Guide

Is it possible to dynamically create a form guide using a data model? We want to be able to control what fields are hidden and visible based on the data. Can this be done through XML?
Aditya

I need to create dynamic form guides which can be controlled by data or schema . Don't know if Form Guides can interpret XFA/XML data or even XSD.
We store information in a database, which varies by user. When a user accesses the guide, I need to create an XML/XFA, from the database, and pass it to the guide. This should determine which fields appear....
The company wants to refrain from JS which is another challenge...
- Is there a way to dynamically change the appearance of the guide based ONLY on data? For example, hide or display fields
- Similarly, is it possible to control access to certain fields base ONLY on data? For example, Read Only vs Editable.

Itextsharp using livecycle form with dynamic table

Hello all, after searching Google for the past two days and not able to find any relevant information, hence this post.
Some background:
1) Created a pdf form using Adobe Livecycle designer 9.
2) It is a dynamic form with textboxes and a table configured to repeat rows dynamically.
3) Testing form using xml data within designer works just fine.
Requirement:
Need to populate form dynamically using data from database.
Solution:
Found iTextSharp (free assembly) which assists with populating existing pdf form.
Issue
This assembly works without any issue when populating textfields (see sample code below). The problem I am facing is with the dynamic table where in I am not able to reference rows greater than 1. Since the pdf template contains a table with just one row referencing the first row using acrofield works.
I was under impression since this is a dynamic table with repeat enabled, in asp.net if I referenced row2 onwards the table would grow automatically. Which I have come to realize is not going to be possible.
So I am looking for ideas on how I can accomplish this. I wish this could have been a fixed row table then reference rows would have been easier. However in this situation the table has to be dynamic.
Any ideas thoughts would be appreciated.
Below is my sample code:
PdfStamper ps = null;
try {
// read existing PDF document
PdfReader r = new PdfReader(
// optimize memory usage
new RandomAccessFileOrArray(Request.MapPath("itext.pdf")), null
ps = new PdfStamper(r, Response.OutputStream);
// retrieve properties of PDF form w/AcroFields object
AcroFields af = ps.AcroFields;
// fill in PDF fields by parameter:
// 1. field name
// 2. text to insert
af.SetField("txtCompany", "Company name");
af.SetField("txtDateDepartLocation", "date depart location");
af.SetField("txtDate","test date");
af.SetField("txtServiceNumber", "Service number");
af.SetField("Table2.Row1.Cell1", "1test");  this works
//doesnt work!!!
af.SetField("Table2.Row2.Cell1", "1test");
af.SetField("Table2.Row3.Cell1", "1test");
// make resultant PDF read-only for end-user
ps.FormFlattening = true;
// forget to close() PdfStamper, you end up with
// a corrupted file!
ps.Close();
catch { }
finally { if (ps != null) ps.Close(); }

Form in Dynamic page not working when checkbox is used.

I have created a form using dynamic page. The form most have display fields and a checkbox field. When I check a box, it assigns 'Y' value and when unclick, it assign 'N' to the database field.
When I submit the form, the procedure which is supposed to save the form data never gets executed. Well, at least it says, page not found HTTP 404 error.
Interestingly if I make this field a text box and manually enter 'Y' or 'N', and then submit the form, the procedure is executed. Data gets saved.
Is the checkbox not supposed to be used for a database field because checkbox value can be assigned only using javascript and the procedure never get that value ?
Can you please tell me how to use a checkbox for a database field using dynamic page ?
thanks,
Mainak

Sharmila,
When I said, the form does not get submitted, I meant that the procedure does not work. The form gets submitted but the procedure does not work. It gives HTTP 404 error. That is what perplexes me. I am unable to understand why the procedure does not work when I click a checkbox.
May be you can make this work. I am hopeless about this.

Automated tool to convert from Forms to Dynamic Page for Oracle Portal?

Hi Experts,
We are thinking to convert majority of the forms in our portal to dynamic pages. Is there any tool to automate the conversion from Forms to Dynamic page for Oracle Portal 9.0.4.1.0?
Thanks, Abbas

Dear Abbas,
You seem to have two issues... ;-)
If you are finding the Forms are getting corrupt very easily, I'd suggest you go and open a Service Request into Oracle Support (http://metalink.oracle.com). There are a couple of ways where you can have these not corrupted (depeding on the Portal version you are in) and if there isn't yet a way you may get a bug logged and fixed within the next patchset eventually (improving the product functionality).
As to changing it to a dynamic page it might give you a bit more flexibility... yeah. It really depends on what you desire to do. I'd slowly start to code them in this way if your goal is this. As to the former coded forms unfortunately as I've said there isn't a strait way to do that, so you may do this slowly in time...
I hope it helps you a bit further...
Cheers,
Pedro.

Is it possible to pass the Interactive Form on dynamic?

Hi,
Is it possible to pass the Interactive Form on dynamic?
In webdynpro I am handling the header part that will be common for the entire input screen, based on the application name I want to call the different interactive forms. I have seen in template source there is no option to provide binding with context.
Regards,
Mahesh.Gattu

Hi Mahesh,
You can create different views with different PDF forms in their template source and dynamically navigate to the required view/ make the required view visible.
say on your main view, create the header part with the necesaary UI elements and insert multiple view containers below it. Embed a pdf view in the respectve view containers.
Create a context node UI_RENDER .. cardinality 1..1
Create attributes pdf1_visible type wdui_visibility
pdf2_visible and so on. Bind these to the visible property of the respective view container.
based on the application name, set them to either visible or invisible.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Reema.

"HttpParam is undefined" JS error when using dynamic container in portal

Note: every time i refresh the page different rows are rendered, which means that the non rendered rows have nothing to do with the parameter sent in each iteration.
I've added the portlet to portal, & now nothing is rendered in both IE7 & FireFox, & "HttpParam is undefined" JavaScript error is displayed in both browsers.
Note : my portlet "Async Content rendering" property is set to ajax, & the portal "Asynchronous Model" property to enabled.
<h3>Here's sample of my tag code:</h3>
<dc:executeContainerAction action="loadFriendRatePlan" dcContainerId="${container.index}"
     var="ratePlan"/>
<dc:container dcContainerId="${container.index}">
     <dc:containerActionScript action="loadFriendRatePlan" initial="true"
          onErrorCallback="displayMessageNotAvailable">
          <dc:containerActionParam name="friendAccount" value="${container.item.accountNumber}"/>
          <dc:containerActionParam name="friendContractType" value="${container.item.contractType}"/>
     </dc:containerActionScript>
</dc:container>
<script type="text/javascript">
     ${ratePlan}
</script>
Any clue how can I solve both errors?

Just so there is a record of this on the Adobe site...
IF you are running Apache and have virtual hosts, be sure to add the line
Alias /CFIDE "c:/inetpub/wwwroot/CFIDE"
to the virtual host list. Of course change the path c:/inetpub/wwwroot/CFIDE" to whatever is set up in the CF Administrator.
Otherwise, none of your cfform stuff will work properly, AJAX will croak, and you will get a 'Coldfusion' is undefined error.

Hi Larissa,
You can use the below code to resolve the naming issue:
Download_File is node mapped to the download link for PDF.
                         //Get the Attribute Info of Attribute for PDF
                          IWDAttributeInfo attrinfo = wdContext.nodeDownload_File().getNodeInfo().getAttribute(IPrivateViewName.IDownload_FileElement.DATA);
                          ISimpleTypeModifiable simpletype = attrinfo.getModifiableSimpleType();
                         //Get modifiable Binary Type
                         IWDModifiableBinaryType binarytype = (IWDModifiableBinaryType)simpletype;
                         //Set the File Name
                         binarytype.setFileName("FileName");
                         //Set the Mime Type to PDF
                         binarytype.setMimeType(WDWebResourceType.PDF);
Hope this resolves the issue...

Form Guide - Populating a drop down with entries from another field(s)

Greetings all!
Here is what I am trying to accomplish:
1. Build a repeating panel that has a field for the entry of a Name. (I can do this)
2. Build a drop down field on another panel that will be populated with the Name entries from one or more of the repeating panel Name fields in 1. above. I would like this to happen while the user is in the same render of the form guide.
3. Setup:
     LC ES2
     Workbench 9.5
     Would utilize Workspace to complete the form guide
     Want to use a .fml data model
Any help would be appreciated.
Best Regards,

pguerett,
Many thanks for that lca. I have been able to move forward with development of a POC Form Guide.
However, I have one other issue that if solved will push my POC to the point of demo status for the business.
Here it is:
The business needs to be able to add the names of children to a Children Info panel on the form guide. - No problems with that.
Then they need to be able to go to another panel in the form guide and select a child name from a drop down to associate that child with the name of a father. - The previous post with the lca solved that.
Now what I need to do is to be able to take the selected child in the father panel and place that value into the data model.
Why? because the final part of this form guide is to populate a pdf form that is really a legal petition to the court. The child(ren) names form the Children Info panel are listed at the beginning of the petition. Then the selected child in the father panel is displayed in the father section.
So what I am looking to do is to populate that selected child in the father panel to a property in the data model.
However, based on the lca you sent it does not seem that when I add a Data Object to the Data Model in the Guide Builder that I am not able to push that data back into the original Data Model. I thought that using a Binding might work but I have struck out so far.
Clear as mud? Any help you or anyone else can provide would be wonderful.
Thanks a ton!

How to create a MD form using dynamic page ?

Rahul and Sharmila,
You have answered several of my queries earlier and I am thankful for them.
I have been trying to creating a MD form using dynamic page and I haven't fiqured it out. I need help. You both advised me on creating a simple form using dynamic page. The complexity changes drastically when I have to create a MD form. Has no body ever tried to create a MD form with dynamic page?
I haven't heard from you anything either. I am stuck with this and I need help urgently. Would you kindly tell me if this is possible and how ? Otherwise, I will stop crying for help on this.
Thanks for your kind attention.

How to pass Stages Guid dynamically in declarative workflow

hello,
How to pass Stages Guid dynamically in declarative workflow.
Example For List we used to pass guid like this
System.Guid.Parse("{$ListId:Lists/Testlist;}")
help me out to pass stage guid...
any help would be appreciated!!!!
Thanks regards, Vignesh.

You need to make use of command line arguments. You can go through this link for example.
http://www.freeos.com/guides/lsst/ch02sec14.html
In your shell script(say test.sh) you can have
exp fas/xxxxxx@fasbd001 file=audit_grn_28aug.dmp tables=audit_grn query=\"where org_grp_i=$1 \"$1 indicates it accepts the first argument from command line. if you want to pass 19, add that next to the script you're executing.
From command line you can call this shell script say test.sh 19

Form guide not displaying fields

Hi,
I am creating a from guide using the RenderFormGuide component. The rendered form guide does not display any fields. I am able to preview the same XDP as a form guide in the designer, and it works perfectly fine. Are there any properties in the RenderFormGuide thats preventing the fields from being displayed?
Also, this form guide is not for use in workspace. This is to be opened up on the browser.
Thanks.
Regards,
Vidya

I used the guide builder in designer to create the guide. I chose the guide layout, dragged fields to the guide through the add/bind fields option. The fields do not show up for me even with default values.
I tried to create a form guide with no fields, just the default section and panel. Even this results in the same problem.
When I pass the sample form guide that comes with designer install through the render form guide component, only the guide layout gets created - there are no sections or panels. I am wondering if i am making a mistake in setting the form guide properties?
These are the properties that I set:
Application Web Root : http://[hostname]:[portno]
base URL : http://[hostname]:[portno]
Content Root URI : repository://
Target URL : http://[hostname]:[portno]
The only property that I modified in the Form guide render options is "Cb = True"
Thanks.

Calling APEX form with dynamic parameters from Oracle Apps 11.5.8

I have successfully managed to setup access to APEX forms from Oracle Apps 11.5.8 menus utilising Form Functions passing a number of hardcoded parameter values as outlined in the document, http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/pdf/Extend_Oracle_Applications_11i.pdf.
I am now trying to ZOOM from an Oracle Form passing values of form items (dynamic parameters) to an APEX form. I have so far not been able to do this.
I've also tried using;
web.show_document('http://derep.obup.co.uk:4657/pls/apex/f?p=100:1::::::p1_cust_account_id:'||name_in('ast_cu_act.account_id')||':', '_TOP');
but this prompts for a username/password again as this bypasses the APEX Launch process that is defined in my Form Function.
Is this possible in the parameters section of Form Functions? or elsewhere.
Regards,
Naeem

Hi Daan
We do havea couple of customers doing this, they have taken two approaches:
1. Install XMLP on a separate server entirely - kick off conc request to extract data and then use Java Messaging Service (JMS) to push the resulting XML to the external server where they are using AQ to set up jobs for the XMLP server to work through, generating and delivering the final documents.
2. Set XMLP up as a virtual printer - here the conc request again generates XML but this time the result is directed to a virtual printer namely XMLP. There is a perl or similar wrapper that gets called as the printer and accepts the data, template, output format and delivery destination as parameters.
Apologies for the 10,000 feet overview, hope it helps. Tim
