How to setup a forms function in R12 to launch an URL?

Hi All,
In 11i we could create a forms function of the type "SSWA plsql function" to launch a html page from the menu.
How is that supposed to work in R12?
So my question is, how to setup a forms function to launch an URL like www.oracle.com in R12?
thanks,
thierry

Hi, first set the Profile 'Restricted Text Input' to 'No' for your User.
Then create a form function like below:
Functional Administrator > Core Services > Function > Create (button)
Name: XX_GOOGLE
Code: XX_GOOGLE
Type: SSWA jsp function
Maintenance Mode Support : none
Context Dependance: Responsibility
(press continue button)
HTML Call: javascript:void window.open("http://www.google.com")
Leave other fields blank
Add to HR_EMPLOYEE_DIRECT_ACCESS_V4.0 menu:
500 XX Google XX_GOOGLE
This will pop up your external webpage in a new window.
The issue is that it only works from the Navigator framework page (not from within Core Forms)
Regards,
Mike

  • How to find which form function is accessed by user recently.

    I have to find out which form function is accessed by user recently, we can find out what was the last form user accessed using FND_LOGIN_RESP_FORMS table.

    Hi,
    I have no idea about any differences in this table between 11i (11.5.10.2) and R12.
    If you can give me some information that how ICX_SESSIONS and ICX_TRANSACTIONS table gets populated.I do not think you will find details about these two tables as Oracle does not support access to Oracle applications data using this object, except from standard Oracle Applications programs (check eTRM).
    Log a SR, and see if Oracle Support would provide you with more details.

  • How to setup the fax function for a AOI device

    I read in several post on this forum that people get full print/scan/FAX functionality for the supported printers.
    In my case, I have a HP Photosmart C7280, which is full supported using the C7200 series drivers, including a FAX driver.
    Now, I add a printer in the 'Print & Fax' panel, and right away my printer shows up for bonjour. It finds automatically the correct driver, and works like a charm for printing and scanning, but... No Faxing whatsoever. Also no 'second' printer shows up, with 'kind' HP Fax, as several posts sugguest. Not after a few seconds, not after minutes. Using the 'Fax Devices' tab also doesn't show me any HP Fax device.
    So basically my question is: How do I setup the fax functionality in SL with my printer?
    Yes, it is connected over network, and the fax functions did work perfect over network with the 10.5 drivers from HP. Am I running into SL limitations? Does SL fax-drivers still support the (not optional, but default builtin) network functions of the C7280? Or... Am I just a noob that just can't find out how the setup a Fax device the obvious way
    Thanks

    Hello mscheidell,
    Yes, I was aware of the 'two' 7200 series drivers, but thank you for checking with me.
    Okay, now how did you 'add' your fax device for your printer? Did it show up a second version of your printer in the 'Add printer' box, with type FAX? Or did you just add the same 'found' printer again, but the second time with the FAX printer drivers (manual selected)?
    Right now, I only get one entry when I try to add my printer into SL: It find the Photosmart C7200 series with 'kind' Bonjour. That's the only thing that will show up in my 'found' printers, even after waiting a few minutes. People in these discussions are telling me there should show up a second 'found' printer with 'Kind' HP-Fax, but that just won't happen for me.
    I also tried to add the same found 'bonjour' printer again, and select manually the 'Photosmart C7200 series - fax' driver. SL tells me then there is already a print queue for that printer, but I tell SL to add this printer anyway. Then I have this C7200 series Fax device in my printing list. Using this driver seems to work fine, I can fill in fax recipients, but hitting the print button, caused the C7200 to spit out it's complete papertray, printed with bogus ascii signs only on the first lines of the page, instead of really faxing that document. So I concluded that this was not the right way to get the fax working....
    Thanks for all the help again.

  • How to setup a form that can be called from multiple reports

    Hi,
    I want to be able to call the same form from several different reports. How can I set up the returning pages on the form with a variable so, after the form completes its activity, it will return to the calling page?
    Thank you
    Yannisr

    Hi yannisr
    I keep track of my page history with a collection plus a few named application items.
    On pageload, i push the current page number onto the top of the stack (unless it is already there due to a reload). So any page can return whence it came by branching to the item below the one on top. I have additional logic to recognize when you are traversing "backwards" so that I reduce the depth of the stack each time rather than adding to it indefinitely. For coding convenience, I keep the most recent 3 or 4 pages in named elements as well so that they can be directly addressed. So every page implemnts the Cancel function by redirecting to a page, where the pagenumber is in the application item &<MYAPP>_PAGELAST.
    This is handy for many reasons, I find it more practical than breadcrumbs if you have pages that can be invoked from many places in your application. And this saves you from submitting the current page before executing the branch which saves time and is safer (no need to remember not to update the database!).
    I normally add links to various master record display pages from within my reports, and the technique described above is perfect for that, because you can link from one page to another and another and then cancel, cancel, cancel your way back. I can post the source code if you think it might be useful.
    I am curious to know how you are using your form from within reports. Does it act as some soft of common subroutine to the reports, or is it just a display page for data common to many reports?

  • How to find out which OOTB forms functions have built in parameters

    All,
    Is there a simple way to get a list of EBS R12 form functions that have parameters already built in. I have built an integration from OBIEE T navigate to a EBS Form and pass a parameter. I am looking for a simple way to get a list of all the FORM FUNCTIONS that have parameters and what those parameter names are? Is there a SQL query or a simple way in the GUI that I can get this information? I have access to FOrms Personalization but I cannot edit the forms as I dont have Forms Builder.
    For example the following form function PA_PAXTRAPE_SINGLE_PROJECT has a parameter PROJECT_NUMBER. SImilarly, how can I get a list of other forms that have parameters I can pass from external programs (without editing the form itself).
    Thanks

  • How do I Edit an Existing PDF Form Without Losing Form Functionality

    I'm brand new to Acrobat but familiar and proficient with Flash, PhotoShop Premiere Pro, After Effects, Dreamweaver, Fireworks etc.
    The company I work for sells office supplies. We sell 57 distinct items.  We have Acrobat 9.  I am designing a PDF order form with fields that can be emailed to our clients as an attachment.  They fill out the form, it calculates the total, they send it back to us, we fill and ship the order.  Basic and straightforward.
    I can add form fields to my order/pricelist... not a problem.  The question is:
    Once I have brought a PDF into Acrobat and add 57+ fields and calculations, which is a time consuming process, how do I edit an item price at a later date, if someone in the company decides to make a change to our pricing?
    See..., If I save the original Microsoft Excel document as a PDF, Acrobat can't edit the text for some reason.  Something to do with "Renderable Text".  Now if I open the PDF saved from Microsoft Excel in Adobe Illustrator, I can use the text tool to make changes. That doesn't help me... just saying. Why can't I edit "Renderable Text" with the Acrobat Text Tool?  Someone in a forum stated that Acrobat is NOT a word processing program!  If that is an accurate statement, it would appear that Acrobat can at least work with base PDF documents to make certain types of modifications and add functionality.  Is that correct?
    Here's the problem.  I create a PDF with form functionality.  Everything works great.  The boss says, I want to change the price of the scissors.  I can't change the text in Acrobat because of the "Renderable Text" nonsense.  Does this mean that I have to re-apply all of the form fields and calculations to the new base PDF document every time there is a minor change?  I know there has to be a simple work around.  Should I upgrade to a newer version of Acrobat?
    Is it possible to save the original existing form functionality as a layer or overlay to be applied to the new modified base PDF document?   Kind of like so many other Adobe products do including PhotoShop, Fireworks, Premiere Pro, After Effects, Flash etc., so that all of the form functionality can be applied in one big chunk?  Premiere Pro has the time-saving feature of "Paste Attributes".  It's a real time saver.
    It may be simpler to just direct me to a video that goes through the process of creating a PDF order form with fillable fields that multiplys quantity by unit price and totals one column.
    I already created a prototype of the form in PhotoShop which can be saved as a PDF.  The finished order document appearance has 95 horizontal 3px wide lines and 6 vertical 3px lines, kind of like what one might expect to see in an Excel spread sheet.  The form also contains some graphics and unconventional text areas that acrobat could overlay text fields and everything would be fine.
    With these great number of horizontal dividing lines, It doesn't seem practical or even possible to create the basic layout in Acrobat.  As I originally stated, I'm new to Acrobat and would like suggestions for a workflow that enables easy editing of an existing PDF document with form fields.  I want to avoid the monumental task of re-doing all of the fields and calculations.

    For what you are trying to do that is probably what you want -- Replace Pages. There are a few more issues that you need to be aware of since this is a business form. If customers are using Reader XI, it is not an issue.
    On the renderable text, can you see the text list when you look at the font tab in the document properties (ctrl-D)? If not, they you do not really have fonts to edit. This may be the type of fonts you used in the original or the way in which you did the conversion to PDF. You need to have fonts that are on your system and then be sure to embed them (otherwise others may not be able to read them because of different OS or such).
    As to e-mailing the form, that is fine (though there are sometimes problems with various clients and PDFs -- but usually on the sending end).
    For collecting the data you may want to try a different route. For users of Reader XI, they can save the form with the data. Prior versions could not do that unless you enabled the form for Reader. However, this latter process has a 500 form use limit -- A license issue. If the data is submitted, then it does not make a difference. The folks with Reader XI can still save the form with the data, others will have to print a copy for their records.
    The data can be imported to the form on your end and so you would have the exact same results as what was filled out. However, the submission process should be set up to submit to a web script for your receipt and not use mailto. The latter has problems that you have no control over due to proper operation with the mail client on the user machine. Typically the mail client must be the default and use MAPI. In any case, it is not reliable (not for business use). So submission to a web script is useful. The data in AcroForms would be of the type FDF (or possibly XFDF). If for some reason use created the form with Designer, that limit any editing in Acrobat since it is no longer a real PDF, but an XML container that Acrobat and Reader can display and interact with, but not change. Again, submission to a web script is still preferred.
    For dealing with a web script and some coding for various languages, you can check out the FDF Toolkit. It has been around a while, but should still handle the CGI needs of the submission. In addition, it has tools for adding the data to a database and other typical operations for data collection. You can save the FDF files and import them to the form and deal with the data there also.
    The use of Replace pages would do the job if all your form fields will still need to be in about the same location. Form fields are mark up and the pages are referred to as the document. Thus the replace pages will just original page and leave all the form fields. You will still need to go back and fix the value within the fields themselves, but that is a field edit.

  • How do I add a functional "submit button" to a pdf form in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI ? I created the pdf form in Adobe Forms Central.

    How do I add a functional "submit button" to a pdf form in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI ? I created the pdf form in Adobe Forms Central. It's for an online Diet Questionnaire. After people complete the form I'd like them to click "SUBMIT" and the completed form will be emailed to me.

    This can be a bit confusing because Acrobat 11 comes with the desktop app that allows you to create simple PDF forms without having a FormsCentral account. Some people find this helpful, but you need to understand that when you generate the PDF form, it is Reader-enabled by Acrobat. In order to edit the form further in Acrobat, you have to create a non-enabled copy of the form. You do this in Acrobat by opening the form and selecting: File > Save a Copy
    and opening the copy. It is not opened automatically.
    You can now add a button and set it up to submit by email, either using a "Submit a form" action or the submitForm JavaScript method. You can set it up to include just the form data or the entire PDF, and will want to use a mailto type URL. Submitting the form to the FormsCentral server has a number of important advantages over email (much more reliable, more secure, etc.), so you might want to consider it.
    If the form needs to be saved with Reader versions prior to 11, then you will need to Reader-enable the document. In Acrobat 11 you do this by selecting: File > Save As Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools

    Hi,
      I believe you want to embed a form on your web page.  Please take a look at this link, http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-1991 and see if it works with your web page.  I am not familiar with wix websites tools, but if after trying it out with the instructions on how to embed the form, and does not work, maybe you can provide the FormsCentral web form URL on your web page.  Your end users visit your web page, click on the web form URL link and the form will open in a new browser.
    To get the FormsCentral web form URL, open the form, go to Distribute Tab / Web Form sub-tab and select "Copy Link", then paste the link on your web html page.

    How can I implement default tabular form behaviour in manual tabular form.

    please help me, it's urgent.
    thanks

    Hi Joao,
    First Can u pl let us know your view is based on how many
    tables?
    If it is a simple view ,you can open the form in update mode
    passing a parameter to it thru a procedure or thru a url or what
    ever you feel like(form to form,etc)..I will give you an example
    on how to open the form in update mode like below..
    1.develop a form based on a simple view
    2.Call that form Thru a simple URL
    3.In the above you are opening a form with module id
    ex:1234567890 in update mode and change portal30 to suit
    accordingly..
    4.You are passing a parameter called "ABCDEF" TO "NAME" Field to
    that form for querrying..
    5.Now the form will be opened in update mode and all the fields
    are pertaining to the parameter "ABCDEF" and you can update the
    fields....
    II..Now regarding the check boxes i need to know which version
    of the portal are u using..As for as my knowledge goes (up to
    3.0.6) there are lot of bugs with the check boxes and check box
    checked value is always "yes"(if u want to insert in to the data
    base).So try not to depend on checkboxes and instead Combo is
    the right answer till oracle portal is free of bugs.
    No triggers are required for your requirement....
    Hope i have answered your problem ...If any please revert back
    with full details
    Thanks
