Fragment library

With all our company forms, we use a Drop Down Box for all our deparmental names. We have just gone through a restructure and have renamed majority of our departments. Just wondering, if I was to create this drop down box as a Fragment, am I able to change the size of the box according to each particular form?

Nope .....when the df is generated the reference to the fragment is resolved, so if you save the form out of designer as a PDF then the fragment is read at that time any subsequent changes will not be seen. If you create the PDF in real time (when the user asks for it) then you are always grabing the latest fragment and hence getting the latest updates. This is done by saving the form in its native format (XDP) and rendering it through LiveCycle Form server product when the user asks for it.
Make sense?

Using fragment library with SAP MIME repository?

Hi,
I am new here so I hope I'm posting this in the right place.
We use Adobe LiveCycle Designer as part of the SAP Interactive Forms product. We want to use the fragment library but I am unclear how that will work unless we can connect to the SAP MIME Repository.
Does anyone here have any experience with making this work?
Also ... is there any online resource (other than SAP's SDN) with specific help documentation for using LiveCycle Designer ES with SAP?
We are on SAP Netweaver 7.01 and LiveCycle Designer 8.1.
Thanks!

Hi Chintan,
Thank you for the prompt. I was going to get to it ...
Actually I did not find a way to use the fragment library with referenced objects. By 'referenced" we would mean to be able to change the object in the library and all referencing items would be updated. We did NOT find how to do that.
What we did find, that is still useful to us, and probably anyone working in a development team, is that we could create the library in a shared location and store common fragments there. To use the fragments, go to the library, drag the fragment from the library to your form layout, then 'convert to embedded object' (I think this is on the right click menu, Fragments> convert to embedded object).
This way you still get the benefit of consistency amongst forms using the same element, and only having to develop each element once.
I hope you find this helpful!

Relocate fragment library

We're new to LiveCycle Designer (ES2) standalone. My coworker created a form using fragments, but the fragments are stored in her "My Documents\My Fragments" folder. We moved the fragments to a shared folder and now the PDF forms can no longer find them. Is there any way to update all the fragment references en masse or do we have to go through each form and every fragment one-by-one? Thanks. -- Ben

Sorry Ben,
I don't have a definitive answer.
The safest way would be to relink in the Fragment Subform tab:
If you were feeling brave (and tested on a copy first), you could do a find/replace within the XML Source, swapping out the old reference for the new reference:
Not for the faint hearted - good luck,
Niall
PS
You would need to see what the new fragment library looked like, then
FIND: usehref="..\..\..\..\Fragments\
REPLACE: usehref="..\..\..\..\myNewFragments\

Fragment library with SAP?

We want to deploy a set of forms that use references to fragments stored in a fragment library, because there are a lot of elements in common among the forms. Some will change over time and we would like to maintain them in one place. Is this possible with interactive forms for SAP? Would we use a file server location or is there a way to use the MIME repository?
System is SAP Netweaver 7.01 and Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.1.
Thanks,
Margaret

2 items in the same iTunes library

My iTunes library (item #1) is currently located on HD #1.
There is not enough room on this HD.
I would like to:
- create another item library (item #2) on another HD (let us call it HD #2),
- see both items when I launch iTunes,
- and import new music pieces to item #2 when I add some to iTunes.
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance.

My question was about "segmenting" iTunes database.
I thought is was impossible.
Your answers confirm my fear.
It IS impossible.
As *Chris CA* has already stated, it is not impossible to spread your library over multiple volumes, but as I stated in my original response, “You cannot spread your library over multiple volumes and easily keep it managed.” If it were impossible, there would be little need for the Consolidate Library function.
While iTunes can link to songs on any volume currently attached to your computer, separating the file library is a bad practice because iTunes only recognizes one folder as your music folder. Should the worst ever happen, any music that you do not have in your designated iTunes music folder may need to be manually added to your iTunes library again; the songs in your (designated) music folder would be restored by the simple action of setting the iTunes preference to point to the correct folder.
The more fragmented your library, the more work you are making for yourself if you ever have the need to rebuild your library. So unless your library exceeds the maximum capacity of modern hard drives, a fragmented library is a very bad idea.
If your external drive has enough capacity to hold your entire music collection, then your best option is to just move your music library to the external drive. You in fact do not need to consolidate your iTunes library first as *Chris CA* suggested, unless you already have a fragmented library on your current hard drive. If not, follow the procedure I suggested, if you are not sure, follow Chris’.

How can i do to sharing segments library?

Hi!
I hope someone can to help me, i have some segments than i will use to create some forms, but i have a question....how can i do to sharing this segments library, because i will work with other two persons and we want to have access to the same segments, that is for reuse this segments because the forms has similar information.
Does have someone any idea?
Thank´s

Are you talking about fragments?
Those are stored in a folder on your local drive as xdp files wich you can easily attach to an email for example.
To get the path hold the mouse corsor over the headline of your fragment library (right next to the folder symbol) in the fragment library palette.

Form loses fragments when I run it

Hi
I've got a form which uses fragments. This form previews fine in the designer, but when I try to run it using generatePDF Output in a process, the parts that come from the fragments are gone.
The following entries are in the log:

Thanks a lot for your reply - that certainly looks like the problem I'm running into. Unfortunately the solutions it offers are:
Use only application or repository URLs for your DDX and XDP references. All references in the DDX and XDP form and fragments must consistently use application or repository URLs. Within the XDP form and fragments, these references can be relative.
Use only absolute references within the XDP form and fragments. (This solution applies only if application or repository URLs cannot be consistently used.) When form designers add a fragment to an XDP form (or to another fragment), Designer ES2 creates a reference to the fragment. By default, the reference is a relative reference to a fragment library. Form designers can ensure that the Assembler service can resolve fragment references by changing the relative reference to an absolute reference.
I can't work out how to do either of these though. When I add a fragment to my form I can't find a way to stop it using a relative path (ie: ..\Fragments\BookmarkPage.xdp), and if I go into the Fragment info after it's attached it shows me this path, but won't let me edit it.
Do you know how to do it?
Thanks
Dan

Steps to recreate my error:
1. Copy and Edit... the "Dynamic List Generic" Fragment.
2. Properties
a. Name: IGBU Training Request
b. ID: IGBUTrainingRequest
c. Language: idoc
d. Type: dynamiclist
e. Library Name: SS_FRAGMENTS_EX...
3. I only changed the Default Value of my ssQueryText Parameter (this is my first Fragment that I'm creating). I am going to have another Form Fragment where consultants can request training classes by filling out some fields, but first I need to make sure my second Fragment will show that content. The Default Value for my ssQueryText Parameter is: (dDocTitle <contains> `Training Request`) <AND> (xWebsites <contains> `igbu`) <AND> (xWebsiteSection <contains> `igbu:6749`). When I run that query in CS, I see 2 records.
4. I hit the "Save" button, and "New..." to create a new Fragment Library.
5. When the "Assign Info Form" appears, I fill out the following:
a. Type: SystemObject - any component of the Web site (fragments, .css, .jsp, etc.)
b. Title: IGBU Training Request List Fragment
c. Author: [email protected]
d. Security Group: Public
e. Account: EMPL/IGBU/CSLT
f. Web Sites: IGBU (igbu)
g. ConsumptionServer: MYO
6. I click the "Assign Info" button.
7. I receive the error above.
I have tried filling in a value for Content ID and leaving it blank when completing the form, thinking that I should let CS assign a CNT***** ID for me, but that did not help.
Thanks,
Chad

I was able to fill out the "Assign Info Form" and fill out the fields in #5
Edited by: chad.davis on Aug 20, 2010 6:50 AM

Hi mikeyc7m,
I'm trying to resolve this issue, but I can't tell what to correct...I'm at a complete loss. The Assign Info Form has required fields (red, with asterisks), and I'm filling in values for each of those. Do you have any idea where I can go to verify against a database config setting, or do you have any other ideas?
Thanks,
Chad

Help ! I can't find the "field" tab for an object in the library

Just starting out with the software. I want to place a text box that spans several lines and "allow multiple lines" in a form I am building. The only problem is I can't find the field tab for the text box object. The only two tabs I have at the top of the object library is "Object Library" and "Fragment Library"
What am I missing?

Click on the Object Library. Below that there shoudl be three libraries (My Favorites, Standard and Custom). The Textfield is in the Standard library. If all else false you can use the Insert Menu and then choose standard from there.

I need help regarding fragments

Hello,
I've started using the fragment library recently.
But i can't understand the difference between an OBJECT LIBRARY & FRAGMENT LIBRARY...if one can convert a fragment into to an embedded object by;
EDIT>FRAGMENTS>CONVERT TO EMBEDDED OBJECT
what is the need for fragments anyway?
is this embedded object different from an object in the OBJECT LIBRARY?
Quick replies will be appreciated...

The difference between an object and a fragment is quite simple - it's not actually in what can be contained in an object vs a fragment, or how they can be shared...
1. When you drag an object into your form, you get a COPY of the object. You can change it, modify it, do whatever you want to it. If someone else changes something about the original object (for example, fixes a bug), then that's just too bad - you have your own copy.
2. When you drag a fragment into a form, you get a REFERENCE to the object. That means you cannot change or modify it in any way. However, if someone else changes the fragment, then whenever you open your form in Designer, you will immediately get the updated version. If they were fixing a bug, that would be a good thing. If they were introducing unwanted behavior, that would be a bad thing :-)
The question of whether to use objects or fragments is an interesting one. Fragments are really a better re-use mechanism than objects, not unlike #includes in C, or class libraries in other languages. However, unfortunately there is no #if like C, or overriding of base classes, which makes them a little inflexible. Overall, I personally think it's a good step forward, and I look forward to see the evolution of fragments in future releases.

Sharing Fragments

There are two of us working on the same Forms project. My co-worker made fragments and put a copy of them in a common folder. I went in and from the Insert drop-down menu, I inserted the Fragments from the common folder. How can I add them to the Fragment library? The best I could do was save them as an object, but that will do us no good if and when the fragments have to be modified in the future.
Please help.
Thanks

You can create a new fragment library pointing to the common folder. On the fragment Library tab on the far right side of it is a little drop down arrow. Click on that on you will see an Open Fragment Library option. Point to your shared folder and you will have a new librray tab. Make sure you are on the Fragment tab and not on one of the library tabs.

JavaScript functions across the forms?

Hello,
We are developing set of forms using LiveCycle Designer. The forms are complex and need some involved JavaScripts. I found great feature where we can insert a script object to hold common JavaScript functions and use those anywhere in the form. However, as I need to create some 35 such forms, I was wondering if there is any way of creating a library of JavaScript functions that I can use for all the forms. I.e. I do not want to create Javascript Object per form but want to find out if I can have one JavaScript object that I can reference from all the forms?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Niall,
Feeling especially lazy today, I thought I'd try asking rather than testing this to find the answer. How does updating scripts in the library work? If I have multiple forms that use a script from the Fragment Library, when I tweak the script and save it, does the tweak change the script in all the forms? If so, does this happen upon reopenning each form in Designer? (i.e. each form still has to be reopened in Designer for the tweak to happen, right?). I feel like an idiot asking, but I'm long in lazyness this miserable, damp, dreary morning in Wisconsin. Even my little dog's energy has waned today.
Cheers,
Stephen

Submitting xml data and thereby kicking off LiveCycle Process

I have a simple form where I collect the data and put it in a field which contains xml. I also have a process that should be started when I click a button on the form. Hence I have made the databinding for the process SOAP endpoint and have made the binding to the xml-text field in the form.
However something is wrong, because nothing happens when I click the button.
So how do I submit xml-data to a LiveCycle process to kick it off through the form.
Sincerely
Kim

Dear Mr. Ram KM,
The business mentioned above by you was absolutely perpect.
Adobe LiveCycle® ES (Enterprise Suite) is an integrated server solution that blends data capture, information assurance, document output, process management, and content services.
I may guess you have to install ADOBE LIVECYCLE WORKBENCH ES. The Adobe liveCycle Designer ES comes with Workbench ES once you installed. Please go through the below information, you may get some idea.
1. Significance of folders in Documentum Repository (for all regions)
WorkBench -> where all work in progress or finalized templates should reside. Designer must carry his/her development of Form/Template design in this folder.
Schema -> where the XML Schema (Using which data needs to bound to the template) should reside. This schema should be the same across the entire region (dev, UAT, Prod).
Templates -> This is the run time folder. CPR application points to this folder while searching for templates. Designer should never work on this folder or move/copy any template from WorkBench to this folder. This action will be taken care of by CPR application.
Master Fragment Library -> All the fragments should reside inside this folder. Once one fragment is changed in this folder then change will be reflected immediately to all the templates that use this fragments.
NEW TEMPLATE DESIGN
2. Design approach through workbench ES.
Designer selects UAT region through WorkBench ES to do the development of the Forms/Templates.
Designer opens up an existing form/letter or creates a new form/letter through designer in Workbench ES
He/She caries out the design (forms/letters) in Workbench folder.
He/She carries out the design of fragments in Master Fragment Library folder.
Once designer is satisfied with design he/she right clicks on the document and goes to the history popup.
Select the latest document in the list and click on Save as button in the popup screen to save it to the local hard disk or any file system.
Designer now goes to CPR Application and click on Add button.
The Add popup opens up.
Designer clicks on Browse button and adds the letter/forms she had downloaded to his/her disk and adds corresponding Meta data. He/She then hits Done. At this point behind the scene CPR application puts the corresponding letter/Form into Templates folder with all the meta data set.
The UAT test on the newly uploaded templates then happens.
Once the UAT is successful then the corresponding templates need to be promoted to Production.
First Step: Promoting new Fragments to Production
Administrator directly logs into Production fragment library folder and creates the fragments again in production. This needs to be done very carefully as this fragments will be available immediately for end users (on click of Save in the designer).
Note: The downloaded fragments (from UAT region) can be moved to production directly using drag and drop feature of Workbench ES.
Second Step: Promoting new templates to Production
If UAT is successful Administrator then uploads the template file into production the way he/she did in UAT region. He/she needs to put appropriate meta data in production also.
EXISTING TEMPLATE MODIFICATION
3. Design approach through workbench ES.
Designer selects UAT region through WorkBench ES to do the change of the existing Forms/Templates.
Designer opens up an existing form/letter or creates a new form/letter through designer in Workbench ES
He/She caries out the design (forms/letters) in Workbench folder.
He/She carries out the design of fragments in Master Fragment Library folder.
Once designer is satisfied with design he/she right clicks on the document and goes to the history popup..
Select the latest document in the list and click on Save as button in the popup screen to save it to the local hard disk or any file system.
Designer now goes to CPR Application and finds the templates he/she wants to modify.
Designer highlights the corresponding row and hits on Modify.
The Modify popup opens up.
Designer clicks on Browse button and adds the letter/forms she had downloaded to his/her disk and edits corresponding Meta data (if needed). He/She then hits Done. At this point behind the scene CPR application puts the corresponding letter/Form into Templates folder with all the meta data set. Also it inactivates the older version if any.
The UAT test on the newly uploaded templates then happens.
Once the UAT is successful then the corresponding templates need to be promoted to Production.
First Step: Promoting existing Fragments to Production
Administrator directly logs into Production fragment library folder and updates the fragments again in production. This needs to be done very carefully as this fragments will be available immediately for end users (on click of Save in the designer).
Note: The downloaded fragments (from UAT region) can be moved to production directly using drag and drop feature of Workbench ES.
Second Step: Promoting existing templates to Production

Can a code in FormCalc Or JavaScript be reused

Hi,
Does somebody know if we can share / reuse existing code like JavaScript Function or FormCalc between
different forms ?
Thanks !

Hi Oren,
We did something similar recently, using a Fragment Library on a shared drive. One of our fragments includes javascript and it works fine.
However, we only found how to use fragments as embedded, not referenced. Still that allows you to code once and easily pull the fragment into other forms. (Referenced would mean changes to the fragment in the library would show in all referencing forms. We don't know how to do that. If you figure it out please post!)
Let me know if you would like more details.
Hope this is helpful!

• Given an output file type in LiveCycle Designer, describe the differences between those output types (Output types include: XDP, static PDF, dynamic PDF, TDS)
• Given a form type, describe the characteristics of the form type (Form types include: static, dynamic, print, interactive, Acroform, artwork)
Working with XFA
• Describe the XFA object model (Topics include: hierarchy, subform types, referenced objects, variables)
• Given a DOM, describe the functionality of that DOM (DOMs include: data, form, template, layout)
• Describe the rendering process of an XDP to a PDF
Importing other file formats
• Importing an existing PDF into LiveCycle Designer
