Generate or import xml form content into portal

Hi, we have a content repository type "fsdb" in wich we have created a xml form to publish content.
Now we need to develope a program or process that read information from a database and generate the xml content in the repository,
How can we generate the xml form content?
I have tried coping and existing element of the repository from the file system and changing the data but something more is needed, I think that is necesary to update the database.
Any suggestion is welcomed.
Thanks in advanced.
Regards.

Hi,
I differred my theme, cause I also had to use and transport the xml-forms into another portal. For this reason I have to use xml-forms. I've found out how to modify the the content/text of an subscription-mail.
Is there any way to define different layouts for subscription-mails? (Maybe depending on the folder.)
Is there any way to send an e-Mail to a specified address (including the content) when saving the xml-form?

Importing XML Data Back into the Form

I have a form that shows several subforms based on the selections the user has made while filling in the form. This is working quite well but when I import the XML data back into the form it doesn't show the subforms that have been used.
Is there an easy way to change this?
Thanks in advance!
Emma

Actually the issue may actually have to do with the fact that the connections aren't bound, but I haven't seen the data.
I have some fairly complex forms that include both subforms and instances, have an XSD embedded and export as XML. When I import the data, everythi
Now, that being said...
Are your subforms "hidden" and you opt to display them upon selection of a radio button for example, or do you SetInstances()? If you're using visible=TRUE or FALSE, that may also cause some issues.
Try this -- on Form:ready try this code:
if(this.rawValue == "on"){ //this radio button 1
_subform1.setInstances(1);
_subform2.setInstances(0);
_subform3.setInstances(0);
else if(this.rawValue == "on"){ //this radio button 1
_subform1.setInstances(0);
_subform2.setInstances(1);
_subform3.setInstances(0);
else if(this.rawValue == "on"){ //this radio button 1
_subform1.setInstances(0);
_subform2.setInstances(0);
_subform3.setInstances(1);
else { // this is fisrt time open -- i sometimes had issues with subforms being visible on first entry
_subform1.setInstances(0);
_subform2.setInstances(0);
_subform3.setInstances(0);
Then on:Click essentially copy most of the code you put in form:ready
if(this.rawValue == "on"){ //this radio button 1
_subform1.setInstances(1);
_subform2.setInstances(0);
_subform3.setInstances(0);
else if(this.rawValue == "on"){ //this radio button 1
_subform1.setInstances(0);
_subform2.setInstances(1);
_subform3.setInstances(0);
else if(this.rawValue == "on"){ //this radio button 1
_subform1.setInstances(0);
_subform2.setInstances(0);
_subform3.setInstances(1);
Of course this will go on top of your radio button group.
If you are exporting to XML, it will make your life a whole lot easier, by the way, to import an XSD and bind your nodes, especially as your forms and data start to get more complex.
Finally, you may also know this but -- unless you have Forms Server, any user that wants to export the data or import the data will need to have at least full Acrobat Professional. If you want people to be able to save data in the form but import/export isn't that important, they will need to have full Acrobat.
I hope that helps a bit. Good luck!

XML Forms on the Portal posting to an IDOC

Scenario
Goals
1. Portal Based XML form being used by users to enter information
2. Posting to an IDOC in R3
Current Solution
1. The XML form outputs a file to local file system through the EP
2. XI then takes this file transforms
3. XI Posts IDOC
Question .
Is there more elegant solution, making use of the file system to transfer files between system strikes me as "ugly". How would I configure the XML form to post directly to XI via a webservice call etc..., I understand how to make the service available in XI, Im just not sure how to make the EP post the XML XI so It can then post the IDOC ?
Notes.
1. The XML form has been developed using the Form builder in the Portal
2. Both the Portal and XI are on NW6 at this stage.
thanks

Since researching a little I have discovered the idea of posting an XML form to an IDOC is flawed. So the desired archiecture is now, a form of some sort that can be visually appealing like an XML form that can post directly to an RFC in ECC.
Enterprise Portal Form -
> ECC (RFC)
I have protyped this interaction with Guided Procedures in NW7 and it seems to work but the form presentation is still a mystery.
How can I have complete control over the presentation of a form in GP to send the data into SAP, or is the visual composer a better solution ?

Import existing forum content in Portal Forums

Hi,
Is there a way to import content from an existing forum application into Portal Forums?
Edmond

Hi,
Thanks for your reply!
Source is Lyris. Apparently something old, hosted by an external company. I have no idea whether that tool has export functionality.
Target: Jive Forums in portal
If it is not possible to import the data into Jive Forums we will try to import it in some other way in a repository so that TREX can search it.

Importing NT User information into Portal

We are using Portal in an NT environment, and we have been able to get through the necessary single sign on issues.
Now, we need to pull our NT user information into Portal's user database, including all the groupings we already have set up so that we can take advantage of Portal's exceptional security features. This is key to our ability to use the product, and to our demo in a week.
The fact is we have 5,000 users to enter, and it is prohibitive for us to do that through the standard Portal APIs. We already have the users' input once in NT, we can get a flat file with all the information we need, we just need a way to get this information
into the appropriate tables within Portal's database.
Is there a script or some more "automated" way you can suggest for us to do this?

Maybe you could try to use an intermediate LDAP export file (ldif), since Active Directory is LDAP-based and you can plug a LDAP to your Portal SSO Login Server.
I only have tried exporting and importing using .ldif files up to now.
I also have heard about techniques to use NT user account info to log on to Portal ; 'could be easier.

Importing XML form data, and reading a PDF form in Reader

The title pretty much says it all. My colleagues have the latest in Adobe Reader (9). They would like to import the form data that they receive in their email as an xml attachment. They would like to read the form as it is filled out in their reader.
Please tell me how.

I think they have to have Acrobat to import the data. Reader was not meant to keep data for the user unless Reader Right's are enabled (limited use of form for this typically). The US gov't has done this for years for tax forms at a substantial cost I am sure. The Reader Right's that comes in Acrobat is limited to the number of uses of the form, but the full rights can be negotiated with Adobe for more than 500 uses.
The answer used to be to buy your colleagues Acrobat, it would be cheaper than paying the additional enabling cost. With the limited use of the rights with the current versions, Adobe has made a compromise on there old policy. You might look at PlanetPDF to see if there are some third party applications that would meet your need.

Import XML/DTD files into iStudio

I am having Spect Generator files with extension .ecs files
I need to import these files into iStudio to create commonview. iStudio accepts either XML or DTD formats
How can I convert these files to XML or DTD files without losing the Structure layout or EDI format ?
Let me know ASAP.

Hi,
I don't know what ".ecs" files are, but it sounds that you may need to create / use D3L dtd's.
Please look at

Importing Flash 8 Content into Premiere Pro Project

We want to incorporate some Flash movies together with some
NTSC DV footage (720x480 with 0.9 pixel aspect ratio). to create a
corporate training video. We're using Premiere Pro 2.0 as our
editor and the file that we want to ultimately produce form our
Premiere Pro project will be an uncompressed AVI file. The video
will likely be viewed either on a computer monitor or from a DVD
player.
What dimensions should I use when creating the Flash
document? When I do the export from Flash to an AVI file, what
dimensions should I specify for the AVI file?
I thought that I could just create a 720x480 Flash document
and export it to a 720x480 AVI file for import into Premiere, but
that doesn't appear to be the case. The playback quality/clarity of
the Flash portions of the uncompressed AVI file generated by
Premiere is poor.
Is it a pixel aspect ratio problem.

I am attempting the same task with the same results. If
anyone finds a solutions, I'd like to know too.

Import Web Page content into table, like Excel imports a Frame from a page

I have a need to import specific content from a web page (specific frame on the page) and store that data in a table. We currently have Microsoft Excel setup with a link to the page and import a specific frame off the page into Excel. But I would like to do this directly into PeopleSoft. Has anyone done something like this before?
Thanks
JB

Scott-
You haven't explained what the format of the text file is and
how you want to display it. You can get the contents of a file with
CFHTTP (if it's in a web-readable directory) and treat it as a
query if it is in a delimited data format. Then you can use
CFOUTPUT as you would with any other query.
You can also use CFFILE to read the contents of a text file
and display it in your page. You can use HTML PRE tags or you can
replace the CR/LF with a BR tag to force a line break.. Lots of
options, depending on your particular situation.

Atch import of Backend roles into Portal 7.3 ehp1

Hi,
We have 150 roles we need to import to our portal from our BW backend. Does anyone know a way to import a batch of roles with user assignment ticked from a text file ?
We can used the tools in the content admin and enter Z* but this brings in too many roles.
Thanks
Jim

Hey Jim,
There may not be a single standard program or transaction for mass update/upload of roles. We had to develop a Z-program for a similar functionality. You may use BAPI_USER_CREATE, BAPI_USER_PROFILES_ASSIGN, BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT.
hope this helps.
Good Luck!

Can you import xml index markers into InDesign?

My tech writer is putting index markers in the xml as he writes. Is there a way to import the xml and InDesign recognize the xml index markers?

We are having the same issue and haven't been able to find a solution. Ideally we would like to import the XML into an InDesign layout with XML markup that would be interpreted by InDesign as an index item and would then create the appropriate index term. Does anyone know if this type of XML feature is supported?
Thanks,
