How to Auto-Populate a User Data Picker?

I understand how User Data Pickers work (mostly). We have used them during the shell creation process to allow the creator to specify which users may access the shell and in what user groups they will be placed. This works fine— as the shell is created, these users are added and assigned to their respective groups.
From the documentation, User Data Pickers are supposed to support auto-population, but the system does not allow me to select a suitable source from which to pull. For example, the shell attribute form contains a User Data Picker that contains the name of the PM that was assigned to the shell. Say I have a BP in that shell on which I want the PM’s name to appear. I’m thinking I would place a User Data Picker on the BP and auto-populate that field from the shell attribute user data picker, but uDesigner doesn’t allow the attribute form as source as it does for other DE types. This is important as this field, the PM’s name, must be located on the BP if I’m to use it in a LiveCycle report.
Short of having the user select the name again within the BP, how do I pass the names of shell members that were selected during shell creation using User Data Pickers?
Thanks.

That works! Thanks Rich for clarifying your above posts with the screenshots.
Rich’s solution as it worked for me:
1. Add a User Data Picker to the shell attribute form.
2. Add a DE of DD SYS Medium Name to the shell attribute form. The DD type appears critical here and was my mistake in the past.
3. Auto-populate the DE created in step 2: Source Name-->Data Picker; Source Element-->uuu_user_name (in this case).
4. On the BP, place the same DE as step 2 and auto-populate (or link) it to the same DE on the shell attribute form.
What I didn’t expect:
1. User Data Pickers on BPs cannot reference User Data Pickers on shell attribute forms. Why do we need additional fields to link two other fields of the same type?
2. In operation the auto-populate, setup in step 3 above, occurs immediately as if it were a formula instead of just populating upon the shell creation stup as it would on BP creation.

How to auto populate Actual GI Date in Delivery

Hi All,
I have created a report in which sales order and delivery gets created automatically using bapi's. When I go to my delivery number which is created thru vl02n, I see the Planned GI date gets automatically populated thru bapi.
But, my Actual GI Date is blank. I need to auto fill the Actual GI date with my Sales Order PO date.
Is there a way that I can do this automatically with delivery bapi or do I need to use copy routines to achieve this?
Please help.
Thanks.

Go to VOFM -> Data transfer -> Deliveries. Take a look at routine 201 (or better yet, check which copy routine is currently used in your configuration to copy fields into the delivery header).
You can either modify the currenlty used copy routine (in case it is not a standard one) or you can copy it and add your code to populate the field LIKP-WADAT.
In routine 201 as the example, there is structure XKOMDLGN with field BSTDT. This should (hopefully) be already populated with the PO date from the order. If not, then you can read the order header you're delivering and use VBAK-BSTDK as the source field. Then simply set LIKP-WADAT to whatever date you need.
Please check the online documentation for exact details about copy control. If you copied a standard routine, you will have to set the new routine in the configuration so that it's used when a delivery is created referencing an order.

How we can populate the form data from 2D barcode

Hi All,
Can anyone tell me how we can populate the form data from 2D barcode, will this can be done through script(javascript)?.
Thanks & Regards,
Faisal Afzal

I was hoping someone could put me in the right direction here. I am basically doing the same . I am decodeing the information stored in a 2D Bar code and sending this information to an XML file, then I am trying to combine that xml file with a blank PDF template but the process is failing beacuse there are some additional tag fields the XML data from the Decode->Extract XML process.
The XML file from the decode process gives the structure below..notice therer some extra tags (lines 2- 4)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xdp:xdp xmlns:xdp="http://ns.adobe.com/xdp/" xmlns:xfa="http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/">
<xfa:datasets>
<xfa:data>
<form1>
The XML structure that is expected by the PDF template is as follows
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<form1>
So the xml output of the Decode barcode + Extract XML process has three extra lines of tag. Is there a way I could use a process within liveCycle to clean out those three lines in real-time before sending the xml to be recombined with the PDF template.
Thanks

How can I populate the users in the Directory Server?

Hi all,
I'm a new of Sun ONE Directory Server 5.2, I've just install a copy of it on Win2000 server and I have a small question to ask.
How can I populate the users (This user can be use to login in to Sun ONE install messenger) in the Directory Server using the Directory server's admin console?
Thanks in advance,
Tuan Anh,

Thanks Ramnath,
I've read your suggest, but actually, I really wanted to know how to populate user and password. I've read some thing below in Sun ONE Directory 5.2 Getting Started Guide.pdf

the user database is o=userRoot. You can choose to populate this database at
installation, or to populate it later.
But I don�t know the related document, I have create successful user and pass by using admin console. But can not user this user to login in to Instant messenger.
I'm looking forward to receive your help

How to auto-populate dates in a calendar based on radio buttons?

Hi,
I'm trying to create an availability form that is submitted on a monthly basis. What I'd like is to have a radio button the user could click to indicate what day the first of the month falls on (Monday through Sunday), and have fields auto-populate with the remainder of the dates on the calendar. As it stands right now, I've got the radio buttons and the text fields, but I'm running into serious issues getting the text fields to auto-fill based on the selected radio button.
I've labelled the radio button group "First Day of Month" and the individual values are "Monday" "Tuesday" "Wednesday" "Thursday" "Friday" "Saturday" "Sunday" and "Start". The "Start" button is hidden but is checked by default.
My text fields are even simpler: "Monday 1" "Monday 2" "Monday 3" "Monday 4" and "Monday 5" (and then, obviously, repeated for each day of the week.
I am horrible at scripting, so I think that might be where I'm running into issues. What I'd like to put is something like this (only, you know, functional, and for each days' text value):
For "Monday 1"
if "First Day of Month.value" = "Monday", "Monday 1.value" ="1"
else "Monday 1.value" = ""
For "Wednesday 3"
if "First Day of Month.value" = "Sunday", "Wednesday 3.value" = "11"
if "First Day of Month.value" = "Monday", "Wednesday 3.value" = "17"
if "First Day of Month.value" = "Tuesday", "Wednesday 3.value" = "16"
if "First Day of Month.value" = "Wednesday", "Wednesday 3.value" = "15"
if "First Day of Month.value" = "Thursday", "Wednesday 3" = "14"
if "First Day of Month.value" = "Friday", "Wednesday 3.value" = "13"
if "First Day of Month.value" = "Saturday", "Wednesday 3.value" = "12"
else "Wednesday 3.value" = ""
For "Sunday 5"
if "First Day of Month.value" = "Sunday", "Sunday 5.value" = "29"
if "First Day of Month.value" = "Friday", "Sunday 5.value" = "31"
if "First Day of Month.value" = "Saturday", "Sunday 5.value" = "30"
else "Sunday 5.value" = ""
Is this possible? I have no doubt there's a better way to do it (with proper coding and everything), so any help would definitely be appreciated!

Hello,
Which sharepoint edition you are using? I would prefer to customize your list form in infopath form then add new connection which will connect to your SQL. Later you can filter data based on cust ID. Here is the link to add connection in infopath:

Tabular form - how to auto populate a column with the user name

Hi,
I have a tabular form with 3 columns - (customer name, notes, user). my users are allowed to enter customer details in the notes section... as soon as the user completes notes section and save the form, I want "USER" field to be auto populate with the user name so that I may track activity by the user...
Please advice how to accomplish it...
thanks in advance

Hi,
After user saves the forms that means commit to the database, so you can simply write a trigger like:
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER "AUDIT"
before insert or update on TABLE1
for each row
begin
:new.user_field := nvl(v('APP_USER'),user);
end;

Hello,
You can either use jquery/jaavscript or infopath form to achieve this. There is no default way to do this.
I would suggest jquery because you can put script in newform/editfor.aspx page using content editor webpart. Refer this link for jquery:

If you use infopath form, then you need to create two data connection to get data from both lists. Later you can set value in fields based on selection using rule. This can be possible without code.

How to Auto-populate TextField in Acrobat x with a value determined by user check box selection?

I have a group of 3 Check Boxes for user to select their Work Shift: The check boxes are set up to be mutually exclusive (same name: "EMP_Shift", different Export Values: Day, Evening, Night).
Form Field properties name: EMP_Shift (for all 3 check boxes)
Acrobat edit panel field names: EMP_Shift#0, EMPShift#1, EMPShift#2
Export Values: Day, Evening, Night (chose these only because they are descriptive)
I need to Auto-populate a Text Field named EMP_WorkShift with "Day" if EMP_Shift#0 is selected, "Evening" if EMPShift#1 is selected, or "Night" if EMPShift#2 is selected.
Is there a script I can use to accomplish this in Acrobat Pro X.

The simplest is to set up the text field to be calculated using the following custom Calculate script:
// Get the value of the check box
var v = getField("EMP_Shift").value;
// Set this field value
event.value = v !== "Off" ? v : "";
You'd normally set the text field to be read-only, but if you want the user to be able to edit the text field, you can instead use the following script in the Mouse Up event of each check box:
// Get the value of the check box
var v = event.target.value;
// Set the value of the text field
getField("EMP_Workshift").value = v !== "Off" ? v : "";

How to auto populate a column/SharePoint list with Current Date?

I have a SharePoint list and I created a column called ‘CurrDate’.
I need this column to;
Display the current date,
Auto populate all rows with the current date in the SharePoint list
Dynamically update with the current date
I first tried creating the column using the default SharePoint interface Date Time but it’s not doing any of the steps listed above:
I even tried entering =[Today] in the Calculated Value field.
Still nothing…
So, I’m sure you will toss out a code snippet to make this work, which is great.
However, I’m a total noob with SPD, where the heck do I insert this snippet?
Always in need of help.

Hi ,
I understand that you want to add a column to a list to hold current date. Here is a workaround:
Add a single line of text column to the list. Name the list as Today.
Add a calculated column to the list. Use the [Today] as the formula. Set the calculated column to be Date and Time type.
Delete the Today column from the list.

How to auto-populate form fields between documents?

I'd like to create an interactive form where the user inputs data into different fields and then the data gets auto-populated into other fields in forms linked to the original form. Is this possible with Acrobat XI? If not, then which Adobe product is best suited for this? If it's possible, how difficult is this to do? I don't need exact "how to" tips at this point. I am not a developer and I don't have any experience with Action Script. I'm just researching what products I can use, as a non-techie, to do the job. Thanks.

Thanks for your reply. I'm having a hard time understanding the functionality on the end-users's side with the different Adobe forms products. I did a little more reading up on this, but it's still not 100% clear. Perhaps you can help clarify.
Scenario 1: The user does NOT have a copy of Acrobat XI on their end, and I do NOT have a subscriptiont to FormsCentral, and I do NOT enable import/export features in the form using Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions. In this scenario, the user can fill out my form, but they can't save a copy of the completed form on their local drive. I, however, get a copy of the completed form where I can then extract and analyze the data.
Scenario 2: The user does NOT have a copy of Acrobat XI on their end, but I have have a subscriptiont to FormsCentral. The user can complete the form and save it on their local drive, but I can't have data auto-populate from one to another. (Note: I went to the FormsCentral website and it says "Allow respondents to download the PDF form, print out, save, EDIT and submit later." I interperet that as meaning they can add text to a fillable form and save it on their end.)
Scenario 3: The user does NOT have a copy of Acrobat XI on their end, but I have enabled the form with LiveCycle Reader Extensions so that I can have data auto-populate from one form to another. However, I have to pay for an Extension license fee. I managed to find the pricing, and it's too expensive for my needs right now. I'm looking to share the forms with students, so this is not an option.
Scenario 4: The use HAS Acrobat XI. I can get data to auto-populate from one form to another and the user can complete and save on their local drive. This scenarios is not an option for me / Can't get students or schools to pay for a full license of Acrobat XI is not an option at this point.
Is my understanding correct? If so, I feel like I've hit a dead-end. The only cost-effective solution is to have a simple fillable form without the ability to auto-populate data between forms. Sigh.
Thanks.

How to auto populate numerous pdf files with same name and address?

I have numerous pdf files where a company's name and address will need to be entered onto each file. Would there be a way to enter this information once, say on an excel file or something, and then have this information auto populate all the correct fields in each and every pdf file I have to fill out. I am a complete rookie with Adobe Acrobat. At any one's convenience please let me know or point me in a direction where I can possibly learn this for myself. If Adobe offers this type of service please let me know which department to contact.
Thanks,
John

If you were an InDesign user, you could layout the document there, and use the Data Merge feature to bring in the names and addresses from Excel. Then create a PDF of the resulting file which could be split into individual PDFs.
There might be a way to do it similarly with Microsoft Word and Mail Merge.

How to use rdbms as users data store in a form authentication webapp?

Hi,ALL!
WLS 10.3
This is part of web.xml:
<security-constraint>
     <web-resource-collection>
          <web-resource-name>secureweb</web-resource-name>
          <url-pattern>/secureweb/*</url-pattern>
     </web-resource-collection>
     <auth-constraint>
          <role-name>Users</role-name>
     </auth-constraint>
</security-constraint>
<login-config>
     <auth-method>FORM</auth-method>
     <form-login-config>
          <form-login-page>/login.htm</form-login-page>
          <form-error-page>/login_fail.jsp</form-error-page>
     </form-login-config>
</login-config>
Every time I want to access web page in /secureweb/,it takes me to /login.htm,and when I want to login on from /login.htm,it takes me to /login_fail.jsp,so I think there is nothing wrong with web.xml but WLS's configuration.
There is only one Security Realm called "myrealm" in my domain,and besides the DefaultAuthenticator and DefaultIdentityAsserter,I created a new SQL Authencator called sql_auth in front of them,after that,I created tables(USERS,GROUPS,GROUPMEMBERS) in my Oracle database accordding to the configurations in sql_auth,and insert some user data.
But it never successed when I used the data in the database to test the authentication,it allways go to the /login_fail.jsp page...
What's wrong there?
Best Regards!

How to migrate my past user data via time machine (not the latest back up)

Does anyone know how do i migrate my past data from time machine. I read the step posted on http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4413 but does it migrate the latest back up?
How can i migrate a older time stamp data?
Thanks.

If you want to restore the entire computer using a backup other than the most recent you'll need to use your computer's restore DVD (the grey one) or your commercial Leapard DVD to boot the computer. Then look under the utilities menu for Restore. Both Migrate and Setup Assistant automatically select the most recent TimeMachine backup.
Pondini's Time Machine site has everything you've always needed to know about TimeMachine but didn't know you should ask. You might want to take a look before you proceed.

How to recover bitlocker encrypted user data partition

Background: My laptop was installed with Windows 8 and the disk is encrypted with Bitlocker. At installation I split the disk in two partitions, one for the OS and one for the user data. The laptop is broken beyond repair but I still have the disk.
I am using a USB cradle to recover data from the disk to another computer (running Windows 7). When I turn on the cradle it shows me my two partitions and prompts for the Bitlocker password for the OS partition. This works fine. But for the user data partition
it prompts me for a recovery key, which I don't have.
When I installed the system and enabled I only set one password. At the time I believed that it encrypted the whole disk as one unit and didn't pay more attention to this. As I learn more it seems like the partitions are encrypted individually. The manage-bde
tool shows that the OS disk is encrypted with a password while the user data partition is encrypted with an external key and shows a filename with a BEK extension. I have never created such an external key file.
Is this external key managed by Windows itself (to save me from entering two passwords at boot time)?
Is there a way to find this external key for my user data partition?
Thanks for help or any hints.
/ Sven

Tanks for respondent. That guide refers mostly to recovering the keys from AD. My laptop was not domain joined as it was for home use. And I have the password for the OS disk and needed help with the second.
Anyway, I solved this by inserting the disk in another laptop. It booted up nicely, prompted for the one password and gave me access to both partitions. So my problem is solved now.
