Initializing properties for form objects

If I want to set starting values for some form objects as soon as the form opens, what's the best event to use?
I want to set a date field's value to the current date.
I also want to set the Presence property of some objects to "Visible" or "Invisible" at startup. In particular, I want to set all of the objects in a group to "Invisible", but while the group has a Presence property, "Invisible" isn't one of the default values it can have. I'm hoping I don't have to set the presence of every object in the group individually.

You can use either LayoutReady or Initialize events to set the default values for fields.
If you place all those fields in the group as part of a Subform, then you can set the presence property of the subform to "hidden" or "invisible" based on the need.
In that case you do not need to set the presence property individually.
Thanks

  • Initial down load of objects from R/3 to CRM

    Hi Experts,
    We are facing problem while we are doing initial download for the objects from R/3 to CRM. 1st 5 objects showing running(yellow) remaining all are showing waiting(red) in R3AM1.We maintained all the settings. Let me know anything we missed in this please!
    Please provide Middleware settings for down load the objects from R/3 to CRM.
    Thanks in Advance

    Hi Rajesh,
    Please check for those running objects whether there are any "Parent Objects". You open that adapter object which is in "Running" state and there is a tab called "parent objects". Please check whether there are any objects present there. If there are objects present there then those needs to be run first before running the current object.
    Regarding the objects in "waiting" state the reason is because the parameter MAX_PARALLEL_PROCESSES in the table SMOFPARSFA is set to a small value I believe.Increase the value to 99 and then again try the loading of objects.
    This parameter MAX_PARALLEL_PROCESSES  indicates the total number of loads that can be done at a time.
    Thanks

  • Stopped Initial download for Bupa_Main  in CRM in between

    Hi Experts,
    We have a problem in CRM. The initial download for the object BUPA_MAIN was accidently started by one of collegues.
    The job ran for almost 24 hour adn was still running. The queues went as high as to 40000 entries & the outbound queues started getting stuck in ISU system
    So we had to finally kill the job & things resumes as normal...
    Can anybody let me know as to what would be the impact of killing the job...

    Hi Rohit,
    Thanks for the info.
    Please let me know as to which table will i have to check to see if the download is successfully completed. ( for object BUPA_MAIN)
    And did u mean unlocking the queues by quoting 'clearing ' the queue. We we did clear the blocked queue (r3ad* ) but the queue R3AI* got cleared automatically...
    Also it seems that the R3AI* queue is still running even cancelling the job.
    Also shows as a error in SWMP tcode indicating a abort of initial download.  How do i get rid of it.

  • Question about documenting process maps and form object properties

    Does the new version of Workbench have a tool that allows us to print a report showing the properties of the object used in a form template or process map? For example... showing all of the properties like fonts, size, patterns, defaults, whether or not a field is required, etc...? I am also checking to see if this capability has been added to Workbench for Process Maps?

    No it does not but there is a blog entry by John Briinkman that will analyze your form template and give you some of that information. Here is a link to the blog entry:

  • Adobe Form - Object property for FormCalc/Javascript

    Hi All
    I'm learning to use Adobe Form - FormCalc/Javascript - In some of the examples that I have seen fofar
    the codes (FormCalc/Javascript) used a qualified name of an object property for setting value i.e.
    In FormCalc:
    DateTimeField1.rawValue = num2date(date(), DateFmt(3))
    In Javascript:
    this.rawValue = xfa.layout.pageCount();
    pantsWaist.border.edge.color.value = "255,0,0";
    pantsLength.presence = "hidden"
    etc..
    Could someone please tell me how/where I can get the property list that available for an object ?
    (i.e. rawValue, presence, value etc...) I can't see on the Form builder (sorry for such a novice question - but as I said I am very new)
    Thanks
    Points will be rewarded for any reply -

    Hi Liem,
    Whenever u press a "." after any oject say $ in FormCalc, or this in Javascript u will find relative properties that u can set at that time for the mentioned object.
    try this, place a Text field, select that and go to script editor, select language FormCalc:
    write $. and u will find a dropdown that'll show u possible list of properties u can change.
    Similarly, if u try this with "this." in JavaScript another dropdown will show u possible list of properties that u can change.
    Hope this helps

  • Actions tab for form field properties

    This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/pro/using/WSDFC888F9-219C-4b55-90E6-D316E2A85F08.w.htm l

    I am working in Acrobat. I trying to create a form dealers will complete and submit. There will be no licensing issues. I have created a button and named it SUBMIT. In the Actions tab I have selected “Submit a form.” I have entered “mailto:[email protected]” under “Enter a URL for this link”. I have also selected “PDF The complete document” as the Export Format.
    I saved the file but when I go to the Preview Mode and click the new “Submit” button, I am asked to “Save PDF as” from a menu. Even if I rename the file and click save, nothing happens. I am back in the Preview mode. If I click “Submit” again, I get the same “Save PDF as” routine.
    I am baffled.

  • SMS_AD_SECURITY_GROUP_DISCOVERY_AGENT - Active Directory Security Group Discovery Agent reported warnings for 524 object(s). DDRs were generated for 0 object(s) that had warning(s) while reading non-critical properties.

    Hi, can anyone help me troubleshoot the following please:
    Active Directory Security Group Discovery Agent reported warnings for 524 object(s). DDRs were generated for 0 object(s) that had warning(s) while reading non-critical properties. DDRs were not generated for 524 object(s) that had warnings while reading
    critical properties.
    Possible cause: OU name or Security Group name may contain at least a Unicode character which has conversion problem between Unicode and your system ANSI locale(e.g. Korean characters in English System Locale). The site server might not have access to
    some properties of this object. The container specified might not have the properties available.
    Solution: Please verify the Active Directory schema for properties that are not replicated or locked. Refer to the discovery logs for more information.
    Does the error relate to 524 security groups? There are several invalid search paths listed in adsgdis.log, are these related?
    Thanks,
    Dale

    You'll have to examine the log to determine exactly which objects its referring to. Although this is in the context of group discovery, group discovery still creates DDRs for computer objects within those groups so it could be either groups or computers.
    This is not a search path issue though as it's clear that the discovery process found 524 different objects, but as stated, it could not properly read criticial properties of those objects and thus did not create DDRs for them.
    As mentioned, reading the log in detail will list the objects individually and the reason it could not create a DDR for it.

  • Bulk API V2.0 Data extract support for additional objects (Campaign,Email,Form,FormData,LandingPage)?

    allison.moore
    Any plans for adding following objects under Bulk API V2.0 for data extraction from Eloqua. Extracting the data using the REST API for these objects makes it complicated.

    Thanks for quick response. Extracting these objects using REST API in depth=Complete poses lots of complication from the code perspective since these object(s) contains multiple nested or embedded objects within it. is there any guideline on how to extract these objects using REST so that we can get all the data which is required for analysis/reporting.

  • How to change properties for some controls in runtime ?

    hi,
    I would like to change some of the properties for some controls in front panel in runtime. Number of control properties I want to change is depending of a log file user opens in final application.
    I attach an example where I'm trying to change the visibility of numeric controls. Problem I have I don't know which reference to connect to property node in case the control in for loop is not a numeric control. The example relies to label.text property but I could use the more generic classname property as well.

    Initially, a control has no caption.  It's not just that the caption string is empty and the caption not visible, but the caption object does not exist.
    I think this should probably be changed in future versions, because even if each control had a caption, it would still be a negligible small part of the VI. The current behavior made sense many years ago where HD and memory space was very precious. Not any more!
    This issue comes up often enough that it warrants addressing the root of the problem.
    It is hard to convince the casual that the caption does not exist if he can simply do a "show caption" at edit time and it will show in all glory, even with the default set to the current label. It is confusing!
    There is even an idea about this that seems worth supporting (also read the link in the discussion).
    What do you think?

  • Acrobat pro: how set default properties for arrow and line tool seperately?

    I have a problem with the 'comment and markup' tools in Adobe Acrobat Pro.
    I would like to change the defaults of some of the tools, eg the arrow and the line tool.
    This can be achieved by right-clicking on something drawn using the tool in question and then selecting 'properties' - or by selecting the tool and then press ctrl+E, wich opens a 'Callout Tool Properties', and then change what you want there. The latter option keeps the changes as defaults - the former offers a box to tick in the 'properties' dialogue that opens - or, you can right-click on the object again after having changed the properties, and then select 'Make Current Properties Default'.
    My Problem is now, that, apparently, you cannot choose and save default properties freely and for each tool. I woul like to have the default properties for the line tool set as the following:
    -line color: yellow
    -line thickness: 8pt
    -opacity: 60%
    and fot the arrow tool as this:
    -line color: red
    -line thickness: 1pt
    -opacity: 100%
    This all works fine as long as the program is open. As soon as I exit and start it again opening another document /the same one again, the arrow tool changes to
    -line color: yellow
    -opacity: 60%
    only the line thickness remains at 1pt.
    If I change the properties of the line to the ones I want for the arrow, the arrow properties remain unaltered if I close Acrobat Pro.
    Why do these properties interfere? Why is it "line color/thickness" in both? Why, then, do only the opacity and the color interfere, but not the thickness - even if it's the latter two properties that are bot called "line xxx"? Why does Acrobat not save all properties for these two shapes seperately - even IF the two shapes are both of a line-like kind?
    Is there a way to get around this?

    Trobbel - This indeed is puzzling behavior. Clicking 'Make Current Properties Default' should preserve the default  appearance for each. I don't have a solution, but merely a couple of suggestions:
    1) Make sure you have installed any available upgrade for your version of Acrobat Professional.
    2) Consider using the line tool exclusively - you can add an arrowhead and make one tool perform both tasks.
    Hope this helps. /rmbrown

  • Are there REST APIs to retrieve entity metadata for  eloqua objects?

    There is a list of all the objects which can be accessed by REST for CRUD in this link: REST API - Documentation for Core Objects under the Core Objects section.
    For each of the objects listed under the  Core Objects section are there is a field metadata under the Properties section.
    For example for Email object, REST API - Accessing Emails , under the Properties section, there corresponding entries for fields of Emails object under the
    Name ,Type, Description and Validations headings.
    Is there a REST API for retrieving the same information i.e. the field metadata for an eloqua object programmatically ?
    If not , it is a serious hindrance to building systems that are metadata driven and also since SOAP support is being deprecated...

    Metadata is 'top level' information on the object, and available whether you query the individual object (a single form, or email asset) or query for multiple objects of that type (list all forms, list all emails). Consider using a depth of minimal or partial for faster performance if the specific configuration of those objects is not important..
    Example:
    GET /assets/forms?depth=minimal&count=2
    Returns:
      "elements":
        "type":"Form",
        "currentStatus":"Draft",
        "id":"19",
        "createdAt":"1409623550",
        "createdBy":"8",
        "depth":"minimal",
        "folderId":"7",
        "name":"zzztestCS_3-9381543541_AutocompleteTest",
        "permissions":"fullControl",
        "updatedAt":"1409623623",
        "updatedBy":"8"
        "type":"Form",
        "currentStatus":"Draft",
        "id":"22",
        "createdAt":"1409781207",
        "createdBy":"11",
        "depth":"minimal",
        "folderId":"466",
        "name":"daisychain1",
        "permissions":"fullControl",
        "updatedAt":"1412779449",
        "updatedBy":"20"
      "page":1,
      "pageSize":2,
      "total":130
    Without limiting the count to 2, this would return up to 1000 results if you had multiple forms in your system and give you a basic top level view of each. Similarly, you can use GET /assets/form/{id}?depth=minimal to get the same sort of information.
    Other endpoints can be found on the REST livedocs page here (requires authentication):

    Atul

    Hello Atul,
    With the sbo sapbouicom object you can for example simulate a buttonclick.
    I suggest that you use in your code:
    ActivateMenuItem("13057") //(G/l Accounts and Business Partners)
    and then you simulate a click on the property-item/button.
    Hope this helps.
    Best regards Teun
