How to configure XML Forms in iView

Hello,
I would like to show a form that I have done with the XML Forms Builder but I don't know which name I should give the layout set. My project is called "blog" and the data schema is "blog_data".
Could someone please tell me what I have to do in order to get the different layouts into several views?
Is it correct that I have to configure the "Path to Initially Displayed Folder", "Path to Root Folder for Navigation" and the layout set "blogExplorer" and "blogBrowser"? ... I tried this just showed the data like it is in the content browser.
Is it possible to have a hyperlink to create a new (blog) item?
Thanks, Vanessa

Nanie,
You would have to duplicate a form under
Content-Management --> Form-Based Publishing > Forms Availability> folder setting
Please refer to this [help|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/69/d96b9ba84611d5993600508b6b8b11/frameset.htm] document.

How to configure adobe forms in OMLV for printing picking slip

Hello,
I want to configure a adobe form in OMLV transaction. But there is no column for putting adobe forms.
Can you tell me how do configure adobe forms for getting it printed from standard transaction whenever a transfer order is created.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Ajay,
You are completely right that you cannot find anything with smartform in the customizing (OMLV). The reason for it: It is not there. It not even exists. Also the latest version of rlvsdr40 has nothing standard concerning smartforms.
I do not know why it is really necessary to use adobe or smartforms.
The only way is to build a new one (ZRLVSDR40). In that new one you have to use the sapscriptname (from OMLV)and treat it as a smartform- name.
I hope my explanation helps. Success.

How to configure 9i Forms Services Demo Manually

Hi,
I want to customize the forms services demo and run from my own configuration file i mean instead of forms90demo.cfg file i want to create my own cfg file and run the forms how to do this?
for example currently to run a demo i need to give the url as
http://machine:8888/forms90demo/f90servlet?config=xxx
i want it as
http://machine:8888/<myconfigname>/f90servlet?config=xxx
how to manually configure the demo? to run in a customized way
Plus will this demo run on Unix? and how to configure in Unix?
All the above questions for 9i DS, coming to 9iAS how to configure/install on Windows and Unix?
Regards
Mahesh

Do the following to select an own config file for the f90demo:
- Open file web.xml
(in: oracle_home\forms90\demos\j2ee\forms90demo\
forms90demo\WEB-INF)
- specify your configuration file name between tags
<param-value> and </param-value>
(under <param-name> configFileName</param-name>)
Do not forget to  tags around this
<init-param> section.
- Do not use "" around the filename.
You can also copy the whole <servlet> ... </servlet> section of f90servlet, and give a new servlet name (e.g. f90demo instead of f90servlet). From then on you can use f90demo as a servlet. You must, before you can use this new servlet alias, also make a copy of the servlet-mapping section for this alias.
Servlet aliasses are a perfect way to make configurations in two dimensions, one using config sections in the config file (e.g. for different applications), the other using servlet aliasses in web.xml (e.g. different environments, such as dev and prod).

Why and How to develop XML forms?

Hi All,
I am creating a bulletin board . So I need to create XML forms . I m not clear as to why do I need to create it and also dont know to create the same . Is there any software installation required for its creation OR else I can do it without any software . Please tell me
1.its need
2.and how to create
and if u have any sample xml form please share the same.
Thanks in advance,
Jasmine

Hi Jasmine,
XML forms are suited to document types that always have an identical or a similar structure. For example, a news item always has a title, author, creation date, and body text.
It is just like an application form. The text given by the authors are got using these forms, so that there is some format or pattern followed.
XML forms are like Templates, using which data are entered. The data entered can be resrticted to suit some conditions, for example, date format.
You can find the <b>How-To guide</b> <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/90b49c90-0201-0010-8296-bb22a60b2b76">here</a>. This also contains two sample forms.
Hope this helps,

Shankar.

How To Configure My Forms And Reports In IAS10g?

Hi Gurus,
I installed database 10g,IAS10g,forms and reports10g(J2EE/OC4J
Environment) separately.
now i want to configure my forms and reports in IAS 10g.i can run the form from
formbuilder after started the oc4j.but i am not able to run in ias .
anybody know the link" how to configure forms and reports in ias " just
forward to me.
Regards
Gopinath M

Hi,
you should be able to do the same because Forms and Reports are automatically set up. You need to customize the tnsnames.ora of te applicationServer Network/Admin directoy to point to the database you created. Then you configure the Forms application in the formsweb.cfg file of the Forms/server directory
The access is through the HTTP port of the application server

C:\orant\jinit
How do i configure the Forms Server? I am connecting to a database over a network and the forms i am using are in the folder:
C:\orant\FORMS60\server
What environment variables should i change and to what?
What modifications should i make to the configuration files generated by th oracle installer i.e formsweb.cfg,base.htm and basejini.htm
As you can see i really need your help. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

How to configure Oracle forms/reports 10g to Oracle Database 10g

Dear All,
I have downloaded oracle Developer Suite 10g for microsoft Windows (CD1/CD2) from edelivery.oracle.com.
I have also downloaded Oracle 10g xe edition from oracle.com.
Both above software are on the same machine.
Now, I have creaated new database, created few tablespaces,tables,indexes,functions etc on it. SID_NAME=xe.
I want to configure both the software(connect them) so that i can generate some reports, create forms and applications(on the same machine not on network).
How do i do that?
Best Regards,

did you set tns_admin? do you know what it's for?
don't edit tnsnames.ora manually if you can help it.
you have 2 tnsnames.ora. one is from the xe install. the other is from the developer suite install.
what does the one for your developer suite look like?
if you used the the network config assistant in a straightforward way, then it should end up with an entry similar to what you have in your tnsnames.ora from your xe installation.
the netconfig assistant has a TEST step in it. did you try that? you might need to change the username/password when you test it.
the main thing here is the tnsnames.ora. the way it will be located is in a particular order. it will check in this order, more or less
1. in current working directory
2. TNS_ADMIN defined by the session
3. TNS_ADMIN defined as a global environment (in control panel)
4. TNS_ADMIN defined in registry
5. default location (network\admin directory).
so if your developer says it can't resolve the name, then it means it is not defined in the tnsnames.ora it used. you need to determine which tnsnames.ora file it's using, and is it configured correctly.
if you did not set tns_admin, check your E:\DevSuiteHome_1\NETWORK\ADMIN\tnsnames.ora
this is the one developer will use by default.
it should have an entry similar to the one from your xe install e.g.
XE =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = oraclelaptop.yic.edu.sa)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = XE)
then when you run forms/reports, you should connect as user/password@xe

How to remove login form for iView in portal

How to configure a form based login page with entitlement role

We need to have login page to our portal app.
When using "form based" authentication is it possible to map the security on a
"entitlement role" ?
Our need is to be abled to give direct url acces to some pages of the portal (for
exemple by sending urls like "http://server/appcontextpath/appmanager/myportal/mydesktop?_nfpb=true&_pageLabel=mypage")"
by email to portal users) and need a simple mecanism of authentication before
redirecting to the portal page.

Olivier,
You can't reference WLP visitor roles in weblogic.xml, but you can
reference global roles (created using the WLS console):
- <security-role-assignment>
<role-name>PortalSystemAdministrator</role-name>
<externally-defined />
</security-role-assignment>
