Help needed in XML Form Builder

Hi All,
I require your help in XML form .
when we create a XML form in Builder we can define some caption values such as $sap_user , $ locDate which displays the
user id and date in the respective field when the form is opened.
I need to dispaly the phone number,department etc from the LDAP /UME to my from .
How can i get it .
Please help.
Regards,
Nitesh

Which environment are you trying this in ? In Enterprise server, bursting is defined by a SQL query which can be run against the table that you want. So you can even populate the printer name from your query. So the URI, ipp://myprintserver:631/printers/printername" is the syntax. In your case you have to create this string in your SQL query by concatenating the parts "ipp://" + printername + ":631/". If there is a name to the printer in the printserver, then that too can be concatenated.
In case this is in EBS , the same has to be done in the control file.

who can give me some adviseon about how to disign the Edit, Show and Renderlistitem in XML
Thanks a lot
Hope your help!

Hi,
In XML Form
1) Edit form is used for designing the user interface.
2) Show form is used for displaying the xml form to the end user
3) RenderListItem is used for rendering the xml form into a small description like 1News1, 2news2 etc..
    Here you need to display only the heading of the xml form
After you create the xml form
Create Layout set where you need to give the proerties like xml renderer form , no of items to display etc...
Thanks&Regards,

hi Yasir
The project you created appear in the KM folder ( /etc/xmlforms)or the folder based on your settings. You can open the form you created in the km and can check whether the link command is there in the file.You can edit it directly from here to correct the error.

Error writing output with iview for xml form builder

Hi,
I created a Xml Form Builder's project in which I developed an "Edit" and "ListEdit" sheet.
I also created an iview for theese in which the code link is:"com.sap.km.cm.xmlform",and the field for Style Sheet for List and for single item are set up correctly,but when I tried the preview the following error message happened:
com.inqmy.lib.xsl.xslt.XSLOutputException: Error writing output. -> org.w3c.dom.DOMException: Root Element is already present, cannot be appended as a child.
could someone help me?
thank's a lot!

Hi,
Now I'm confused,what do you mean with create new data? Are users editing existing documents
(as if they go to a document example.xml > edit) or they are creating new documents (as if they go
on folder > new > forms)?
The problem is, in both cases a user would need read/write permissions.
The normal flow content (data) is created in KM is as follows:
1. user is assigned to a role
2. role contains KM Navigation iView
3. KM Navigation iView executes com.sap.km.cm.navigation component
4. user chooses New > Form UI command (edit_xml_forms)
5. edit_xml_forms UI command executes its code (com.sapportals.wcm.rendering.uicommand.cm.UIXMLFormsCreateCommand) and open xml edit for the user
6. user fill the form and click Save, form is created into folder
For what I understood so far, your requirement basically asks you to go directly to step 5, it is
possible to pass a URL that goes directly to step 5, the UI command button, but if you do that
you won't have a context, so chances that it will work are slim, since a context is required to
fill the parameters asked by the app (like folder, user, permissions, etc). Even though, in some cases you can
still pass the parameters via post in the URL but you must know which service/parameters the
app asks for it, also a URL is static...
That was the create scenario, I think it's more cons than pros, users would still be
able to bypass the URL iView created for that, I'd suggest evaluating again if it's really
a problem having users access cm to manage data
kind regards,
Rafael

Creating radio buttons in XML Forms Builder

Hi everyone,
I can't seem to find any instructions on how to create Radio Buttons in XML Forms builder, anyone has a link or instruction on how to?
Thanks,
Samer

Hi Samer,
So taking the example for the slides, you need first to create a new child under DataModel for the DataSchema. You can name it "Gender".
Click on the Radio Button in the Toolbar and drag "Gender" from the left hand site into the Edit Form.
It should have already a first radio button and in the box on the bottum right you should see the reference in the Schema Reference field (/DataShema/DataModel/Gender).
You can now drag a second button from the toolbar and place it behind the first one. Make sure you add the same value in the Schema Reference field.
On the Show form or RenderListItem you need a Control Selector as mentioned on slide 18. You can just use right mouse click -> Add. Go on the new item on the right hand side, and click on "Add Multiple Labels". You can choose now how many radio buttons you have, here 2.
In our example enter in one Label "Condition" = "true" and "Label" = "Male" and in the other "Condition" = "false" and "Label" = "Female".
Finally, make sure that the Control Selector has the Schema Reference also as defined above (/DataShema/DataModel/Gender).
Hope this helps,
Robert

XML Forms Builder - problem with checkbox

Hi,
I have created many checkboxes in XML Forms Builder and if I want to create a new document based on this "Form" I have still checked one of checkboxes. I would like to have all empty checkboxes becasue user should check the appropriate checkboxes.
Do you know how to resolve this problem?
Thaks for help!
Regards,
Andrzej Tabara

Hi,
is it always the same checkbox that is already filled in? Is this ckeckbox based on a metadata-definition?
If yes: You could maybe have a look at the metadata-definition. Is there maybe a default-value defined?

Hi,
my problem is simular to Aditys: My Java Version is JRE 1.6.0_15. When I go to Content Managment --> Formbuilder, the XML Forms Builder starts automatically but it is not possible to open Data Schema. After downgrade to Java 1.4 I can not start the Form Builder, that means, after clicking on "Form Builder" in the Portal, a pop-up opens, but the XML Form Builder does not load.
Can you help me?

Populating dynamic values in the combobox with XML form Builder.

I am trying to populate dynamic value in the combobox with xml form builder. I see the document saying create property group and document property Id with respecitive values. I am able to create the property group with system admin -> System config
-> KM -> CM -> Global services -> property Metadata -> groups with new button. and I am trying to create document property Id with value. I am not able to find the way to give value in the property. I am using EP 7.0 Sp 14. Please let me know how to sovel it

Hi
You can create new property metadata with System Admin > System Config > KM > CM > Global services > Property Metadata > Properties > New. Specify the values for this metadata as the ones you need to have in the combo box. Use allowed values parameter of the matadata to sepcify the values. Each metadata property will have unique property ID and you can map this property ID to your combo box in xml forms.
Give it a try.

Yoga

Issue with XML form builder

Hi All,
1 ) My XML form builder is hanging up very very frequently (other than this, my portal is very fast).
when I save the project its hangs up at "50% saving internal model". then I have to close the xml form builder and reopen it and save it again (when i do it repeatedly, some time it saves).
when I click on "open Project" many times its not popup the project list, I have to close the xml form builder, logout from my portal and then login back.
Its horrible to work on this, keeps on hanging every time. Any idea why its behaving like this? as I said, my portal is very fast except XML form builder.
My Java version is 1.4.2_16... XML form builder verison is 6.xx
2) when clicked on "preview" button, can we open a pcd iview??? my requirement is, when user clicks on preview button I need to open my application built in PDK java (created iview out of it, which shows xml form in a better way)?
3) Can I show "Edit" form first other than "Renderer" form in News application? Presently it shows renderer form-> user has to click edit link -> then it will open Edit form. I want "Edit" form to be visible to the user in the first step itslef. is it possible?
Thanks
Pradeep
Edited by: pradeep bondla on Nov 19, 2009 3:08 AM

Hi.
I suppose changing of the JDK, because 1.4.2_16 is not recommended version (see SAP Note 716604). Refer to note 718901 - How to Change the JDK of the J2EE Engine.
Also check what version of client JRE in use. (see Note 1341069 - XML Forms Builder not supported if client JRE is 1.6).
