Forms, web applications, dynamic pages

Hi.
Can someone tell me what the best method is to create a form
in DW? Correct me if I am wrong as I am quite new to this, but I
see a lot of sites out there with different types of
pages...they're using .aspx, .jsp, .php, .cgi, .html, .asp .cfm
.........etc. Which one do you use??
I want a form for contact info filled in & then you click
a submit button & an email goes to your email listing all the
fields & the entries of whoever filled your form. What is the
difference of all of those mentioned above?
Also what is the difference between .aspx & .asp?
.html & .htm?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Forms can be html pages but once the submit button is clicked
the form is
usually processed on the sever hence the .asp. .aspx .jsp
.php etc.
Search google for active server pages. You can also look at
the help file
for info on database sites.

DDE OR OLE2 IN FORM WEB APPLICATIONS

I wonder to know whether it is possible to use ole2 and dde
functions in web form application. In two-tiers client\server
application, user can invoke an application, like Excel or word,
by using DDE or OLE2 package. When it comes to three-tiers,
client\form server(application server)\ db server, if I still
want to have dde or ole2 function to just invoke an application
to view files that are located in network drive or speified
local file name, can forms designed with forms45 do this in web
application? If it can done,what can kind of set is needed in
the application server or client side?
I will greatly apprecicate someone can give some comment on this
matter. Do I have to find another way to have this function in
form web application environment?
Thanks in advance.

Unable to access java web application index page on Weblogic server 10.3.6

Hi,
I have deployed a Web application on Weblogic server.
My war file is very basic with just a index page.
I am able to deploy & access its index page properly in OC4J ( applicaton server on soa suite 10g ) and apache tomcat.
But when i deployed same war file in weblogic am not able to access its index page, Getting below error:
Error 503--Service Unavailable
From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:
*10.5.4 503 Service Unavailable*The server is currently unable to handle the request due to a temporary overloading or maintenance of the server. The implication is that this is a temporary condition which will be alleviated after some delay. If known, the length of the delay may be indicated in a Retry-After header. If no Retry-After is given, the client SHOULD handle the response as it would for a 500 response.

what does Prepared indicates here?*
Adminserver.log prints blow log when i try to access the index page

Calling a form in a dynamic page

Hi all,
We are using dynamic pages for the creation of custom portlets. We can call a report in html tag by calling report.show procedure. What will I write for calling a form?
Thanx,
Gulsah

Gulsah,
In the component management screen you can find a URL-style "Run Link" which looks like this:
PORTAL30.wwa_app_module.new_instance?p_moduleid=1060253649
Also can put this PLSQL code:
PORTAL30.wwa_app_module.link (
p_arg_names => '_moduleid', p_arg_values => '[module id]',
p_arg_names => '_show_header',p_arg_values => 'YES');
where [module id] is your form id
for more information please see the Portal FAQ:

Thanks,
Dmitry

Including a form on a dynamic page (ORA-01036)

I created a form based on a proceedure. I also created a dynamic page which consists of:
DECLARE
BEGIN
PORTAL.wwa_app_module.new_instance('1235532770');
END;
When this dynamic page is run in development using the "Run" buttons, it works. When I include it on a portal page as a portlet, it errors with this error:
ORA-01036: illegal variable name/number
Does anyone have an idea as to why? I am sure it has something to do with context and/or the URL parameters, but don't know where to start.

Using javascript, you could wrap the included page within a DIV tag or SPAN tag that is initially not visible. Then when the user clicks the button you would make the hidden DIV or SPAN visible.
The visibility attribute can be set to visible (to see it) or hidden (to not see it). Here's a page that might shed some light:

InfoPath Form Web Part breaking page left alignment

I have tried both a wiki page and a web part page and met with the same results. I am using the Oslo theme. I add two web parts (SharePoint List Filter and Listview App) and it works perfectly and the page looks normal.
When I add the InfoPath Form web part (I have tried different layouts and different zones) it causes the left alignment of the page to be way off.
See pics below.
Any suggestions?
Any help would be really appreciated!!

Hi,
We have reproduced this issue. The page left alignment is broken and the page is rightward after the InfoPath Form web part is added. It happens both on the wiki page and the web part page.
Thank you for bring this issue to our attention, your time and efforts on this matter are highly appreciate. It could be a potential issue in SharePoint 2013.
In our behalf, we will put your finding to our suggestion box and report it internally. If there is any update, we will keep you informed in this thread.
Thanks.

Web Application index page

How can I set the server that when user enters the usrl for example www.name.com, it goes automatically to the index page of my web application which is for example on: www.name.com/application/index.jsp???

But basically you have to change the web.xml file, and if you are using any ide eg: Netbeans, its pretty easy to fnd which is the tag you need to change.

How can I rename the "name" on "Web Application List " page

I have a quesiton need your kindly help . I'm novice in this field
on "Central Administration" website
"Administration management"--->"Sharepoint Web Application Management"--->"Web application list"
here will show all of web application mapping information
Name                                             URL
SharePoint - 24824                          http://home:8081/
SharePoint - 80                               http://home/
SharePoint Central Administration v3   http://home:8080/
I want to change "SharePoint - 24824" as "SharedServicePortal", how can do it

Unfortunately by central admin UI you cannot change a web application name.
So there are two ways to do this
First as suggested above you have to delete web app and recreate again.
2nd one you can use powershell script to modify webapp name as below
$a=Get-SPWebApplication | where {$_.Name -match "Old web app name"}
$a.Name
$a.Name="New web app name"
$a.Update()
Get-SPWebApplication | where {$_.Name -match "New web app name"}
Hope that's helps you.

WEB Application / Dynamic variable input / Prompts

I've defined a variable on characteristic Currency with the following definition:
Processing by              : User Entry/ Default Value
Variable represents        : Single Value
Variable entry is          : Optional
Ready for input            : yes
Can be changed in query nav: yes
Default Value              : EUR
This variable ist used in "Currency Translation" as "Target currency" (variables entry: yes)
The query is used in a Web-Report that performs the following command by selecting currencies from a checkbox:
url=SAP_BW_URL_Get() +"&CMD=PROCESS_VARIABLES&SUBCMD=VAR_SUBMIT&VAR_NAME_1=SL_CURR&VAR_VALUE_EXT_1=";
url=url+value;
(value is the code of the selected currency)
Everything works pretty good, but opening the web-report I get a prompt window for the variable. How can I avoid this ?
Changing the variable property <Ready for input : no> causes the effect that the dynamically changing of the variable doesn't work anymore. It seems that in this case always the default value of the variable is taken.
The application should use the default value while opening the report, afterwards it should be possible to set the variable dynamically.
Thank you very much for your ideas !!

Hi Stefan,
you can activate/deactivate the variable screen with parameter "Force Variable Screen" in your web template.

Forms Web application is not working on FireFox Browser-with java plugin

Hi All,
We are running custom build forms application using forms 10g and application server 10 g Rel 2. We are using Java Plug-in 1.5.0_06. The application is working fine before recent update from firefox .Now it's not working and keep on asking additional plug in required and taking to java.sun.com for installing the plug in. Even after installing when we access the application it will do the same thing. I tried uninstalling the firefox with the older version and with diffrent java plugin versions.. but the problem still there.. any help will be mush appriciated...
Thanks...

Dynamic deployed web application doesnt' work in managed server

Hi:
Can anyone tell me what I have done wrong:
1. I create a new web application DYNAMICALLY (i.e. copy directory to
applications directory)
2. I assigned one of the managed server as target for the new
application
3. Restart managed server
4. Try to access the new application in managed server, and get error
message:
10.4.5 404 Not Found
The server has not found anything matching the Request-URI. No indication is
given of whether the condition is temporary or permanent.
If the server does not wish to make this information available to the
client, the status code 403 (Forbidden) can be used instead. The 410 (Gone)
status code SHOULD be used if the server knows, through some internally
configurable mechanism, that an old resource is permanently unavailable and
has no forwarding address.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Alex

See my answer to your last post. The short answer is that the HttpClusterServlet is
          likely to be the problem and not the cluster. You can try one of the web server plugins
          or a hardware load balancer as a temporary workaround. You should file a case with
          support too...

Obtaining form parameters in a dynamic page

Hi
It is possible of course to create a form on a dynamic page and have a user provide input. But how can the user input be retrieved, if the user input is sent to the same page or to another Portal dynamic page? As a Portal dynamic page can only contain html and pl/sql between the <oracle> tags, it looks like there is no programmatic way (such as with perl or java) to obtain the information from the form and put it in one or more variables.
Is there a way to obtain the data from forms using pl/sql in a dynamic page? A code example would be most helpful.
Thanks very much.
Hugo

You can do it using two dyns or one dyn.
Using one dyn:
Define a parameter :p1 and let a default value for it(e.g. 1).
Construct a form that submits to the same dyn
begin
declare
v_p1 varchar2(100) := :p1;
begin
htp.p('<form name="example" action="" method="post">
<input type="text" name="p1" value="'||v_p1||'">
<input type="submit">
</form>');
end;
When you submit it to same page you will be able to see your new parameter value. If you want to use two dyns then submit it to second dyn.

Poor Forms performance - application.log errors

Hi
We have an environment that is supporting over 3000 users. The application servers are Win2K using Forms 10.1.2.3.0.
Users are constantly experiencing poor performance, taking an age to switch from one form to another.

Hi,
You can do all that you can do in a plsql block.
Here is an example which paints a form for the employee records and submits them. On submit a procedure submit_form is called.
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Example</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<FORM action="<schema name>.submit_form" method="post">
