Forms Basics

Hi,
I am quite new to Forms, But i am quite old to programming in other languages.
The requirement:., I just want to create a Simple Form. I dont want to go in detail, but just to have a first hand experience of creation of form.
All i need to know is, what is the Software / Tool i need to download (Minimal) to create Form., and may be a Link to a tutorial which would teach me some basics., (not in depth).
Guidance regarding this will be greatly appreciated.
Thanx.

well first u download Oracle 10gIDS from otn.oracle.com u must need a complete suite to develop application on Oracle Forms
i also build application on .net framework but i found Oracle Forms 1000 times better than VB for creating Database application as the triggers which available in form to control transaction is accurate and mature.
you hav certain limitation while compare with vb.net or Java but oracle forms almost fulfil our requirements .

Smart Form basics

Does anyone have a basic and I mean extremly, step by step, Smart Forms tutorial?
I have been reading several posts, finding that this Smart Forms tool its awsome, but im still dont get it.
Thank you!

MEDRUCK - PO Form - Basic question

Hi,
In the Print Output/Purchase order form - NEU/MEDRUCK
Can anyone tell me how to print all the line items when Purchase Order is changed? Currently the standard program just prints the changed items only in the PO form. Is there a way to avoid the custom development and use the standard program?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ramesh

Ramesh,
Take a look at this path in the transaction.
Here it is. SPRO
Materials Management --> Purchasing --> Messages --> Fields relevant to printout of Changes.
The path itself is very clear that the output will be triggered upon modifying specific fields.
Take a look at this thread which discusses the same issue.

Smart Forms Basics

Hi Folks,
I am new to smartforms, just i am learning.
I had an issue , if anybody provides me guide lines i would b gr8ful.
I started by converting a script to smart form to know the flow of Sform.
i had used in one of the window a global variablewhich was available in corresponding driver program.
& itab-v1&.
But i am getting error when i want to activate the newly created ( which is migrated from script) like
FIELD &itab-v1& is unknown..
How to rectify the error..even i created an output type for this sform.
please advise.
Thanks
Raja.

Hi Raja,
I suppose your requirement goes like this.
Your are selecting the values from Z-table into an int.table itab and using a structure to display the values in smartforms.
In that case, this is how you have to proceed.
In the tables tab of Form Interface ,
define
ITAB TYPE Z-table.
In the Global data tab of Global definitions,
define
GTAB type z-table .
Now a work area is created.
Now you can create a loop from ITAB to GTAB.
Now you can make the text elements as GTAB-value.
Hope your query is solved.

What is the max form size you can distribute in Acrobat 9 Pro?

Hello Everyone,
I am using Acrobat 9 Pro to create a survery form that needs to be distributed out to several people. The form basically is a bunch of radio buttons that answer questions. There will be well over 200 radio button groups in the 4 page document. Is there a limit in acrobat for how many form fields you can have?
I just wanted to make sure before I took on the laborious task of creating the form.
Thanks for any help its greatly appreciated.
Radio Reta

Thanks for the input Try67. I just found out how many form fields they wanted the other day. Hopefully its ok but if now we will have to go another route.

Form acting as child in parent child reference

Hi guys,
I have a custom fields form.
This form basically uses other forms in our systems information as a parent-child relationship.
It uses FORM NAME and ID from that form name to query custom fields form i.e.
If you go into for example a customer form, then the custom form needs to trigger that you have gone into this form, and pass to custom the form name and the primay key thats queried.
Also if you navigate away to another form (not closing it) and navigate back it should also trigger the execute query in this other form, is this possible?
Basically we have 500 forms and a requirement has come in to add custom fields to all these forms so createing one form that contains the custom fields and having a triggr mechanism to execute query on this was the cleanest way i could attempt to achieve this, i do not want to amend 500 forms!
Thanks

Hai,
For this create global variables to store the FORM_NAME and ID, and assign to those global variables on each master forms WHEN-WINDOW-ACTIVATED Trigger. And in the WHEN-WINDOW-ACTIVATED Trigger of the child form, query the details using those global variables. and use insert into or update statements to update.

Manu.

Secure Zone login form logs user in who isn't registered for it?!

I have a client who runs an eCommerce site through BC. We have a secure zone setup for his site and he wants to review and approve users before they are given access. There is good reason for this so please don't bring up counter-points as it is non-negotiable.
Anyway, the secure zone registration form basicly creates a user CRM record and allows them to select a username and password. I've instructed to client to continue into the CRM and select the checkbox next to the appropriate secure zone in order to authorize the account to login. As far as we know this has been working until yesterday. Now, when somebody who has an account but it is not approved yet tries to login, they receive the form error as to be expected. However they get logged into some phantom secure zone.
I say "phantom" zone because the actual registration form doesn't subscribe them to a secure zone, it's manual (as previously stated). This is a pretty big issue as a major reason for doing this is that my client doesn't want his prices visible to the public. Only after the person is in the secure zone are prices visible. Any help would be much appreciated. I know BC launched a new update recently which my be a contributing factor....thanks in advance!

Hi Mike,
This has always been the case.
IF you have a username and password and login to a site you are logged in. You may very well not be part of a securezone but you are logged in. This is why hiding and showing content soley based on the isloggedin module is a very thoughtful process as you can not show content based on this knowledge.
This has nothing to do with the update, you probably only just noticed this behavior but this has been the case since BC born.

PHP Form - Required Fields

I've got my form working great thanks to Joe and David (and
others) in
this group.
I want to take it a step further by requiring three fields to
be filled
out. So I found this code to use in my thankyou2.php page:
if (!($frmName && $frmemail && $frmphone))
{echo "You must complete the
form to send it"; } else {
I *thought* that if I used it prior to the code that
processes the rest
of the page, and sends the admin e-mail, all would be swell.
However,
all I get is a blank page.
I'm almost thinking now that maybe the code needs to go on my
contact.php page rather than the thankyou.php page? That way,
the error
message could appear right on the contact page itself?
I'm fairly new to this PHP stuff, so go easy
www.paramount-const.com/contact.txt
www.paramount-const.com/thankyou2.txt
Dave

sorry:
header('Location:thankyoupage.php'.?name=$_POST['name']);
should read:
header('Location:thankyoupage.php?name='.$_POST['name']);
i misplaced the dot and quote...

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'>
<Form objectLocationID='isBegin=true&objectID=%23ID%237544524B68A1C1D9%3A4789E350%3A10BB9306919%3A-7FE9&objectPath=10&objectType=TaskDefinition'>
    <Include>
      <ObjectRef type='UserForm' name='Example Form'/>
    </Include>
    <FormRef name='Example Form'/>
</Form>
<Extension>
    <WFProcess name='Test Workflow' maxSteps='0'>
      <Activity id='0' name='activity1'>
        <ManualAction id='0' name='Form Start' syncExec='true'>
          <FormRef>
            <ObjectRef type='UserForm' id='#ID#UserForm:ExampleViewForm' name='Example Form'/>
          </FormRef>
        </ManualAction>
        <Transition to='activity2'/>
        <WorkflowEditor x='168' y='161'/>
      </Activity>
      <Activity id='1' name='start'>
        <Transition to='activity1'/>
        <WorkflowEditor x='122' y='36'/>
      </Activity>
      <Activity id='2' name='activity2'>
        <ManualAction id='0' syncExec='true'>
          <FormRef>
            <ObjectRef type='UserForm' id='#ID#Form:EmptyForm' name='Empty Form'/>
          </FormRef>
        </ManualAction>
        <Transition to='end'/>
        <WorkflowEditor x='324' y='161'/>
      </Activity>
      <Activity id='3' name='end'>
        <WorkflowEditor x='324' y='315'/>

    </WFProcess>
</Extension>
<MemberObjectGroups>
    <ObjectRef type='ObjectGroup' id='#ID#Top' name='Top'/>
</MemberObjectGroups>
<Properties>
    <Property name='editorOriginalName' value='Test Workflow'/>
</Properties>
</TaskDefinition>--------------------------------------------------------------
Now in the exapmple form how do I specify that upon pressing the button; this workflow should be initiated. Below is the button definition in 'example Form' -
<Field name='New wf link'>
<Display class='Button' action='true'/>
<Expansion>
    <s>'Test Workflow'</s>
</Expansion>
</Field>---------------------------
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

Creating a Web Form

Alright, so there's TONS of software out there that claims to
create web forms for you and include all these different functions
but I'm trying to create one with the sole purpose of importing the
data into an excel sheet that I will keep on my computer. The form
is basically to gain information about potential customers and I'd
like to have the information in excel so I can access it at any
time and sort it any way I please.
Now, many have said MySQL, which I have setup a database on
my server but I'm not sure how exactly to create the table/s within
the database and on top of that, I'm not sure how to get the data
from the form into the correct parts of the table once it's been
created. Does that make sense to anyone?
I've got the form basically done, I just need a little help
on the coding side of things...
Thanks for the help in advance

Hello,
An easy alternative would be to have the form submit to an
Access database
on your machine.
No need to be connected to the internet, you would just have
to set up IIS
on your PC.
That's not too difficult.
Then you would just use an ASP page and DW's "insert record"
behavior to
insert the form data into Access on submit.
Are you familiar with using Access?
You can easily connect an excel file to it or, easier,. just
export the data
to Excel anytime.
Of course, you could always just view it in Access.
If you have Access and Windows XP I would be happy to help.
Take care,
Tim

I need to build a check-in form

I am creating an app for a local club where members have to check in when they enter. I have all the membership data in an oracle express db. The forms' basic specs are:
The Check-in Form will accept membership tag information. Upon entry of bar code, the form needs to query the member table to confirm the member's data and present the membership status results (Welcome, Expired, Invalid, Not Allowed etc). It then needs to update a visit_log table to log the transaction. Following this it reverts back to waiting to accept the next check-in.
Any samples or pointers for me to see how difficult it may to create this app are much appreciated. Thanks much

Hi,
Few post where is something about bar code.
Re: Capturing data from a RS232 device
Item Text Field (always submits pages when Enter Pressed)
