Inserting developed forms into portal

What do I need to do to insert a form I build in forms developer into my portal? Please go step by step. Thanks a lot!!

Mathew,
if you simply link from portal to forms then the required trasks are simple in that you create a link in Portal and provide the Forms startup URL. In Oracle9i Forms, Forms and Portal share the same SSO scheme so that you are fine for that.
If you like forms to be a Portlet within Portal, then there are quite some difficulties to be aware of:
1. It seems that Portal doesn't pass the full HTTP header to Forms which means that Forms does not know about the Browser type your are using (as well as the language set on the client). This measn you have to configure the application to always use JInitiator (which works on both Browser types)
2. Portal redirects the request making relative URLs fail. Make sure you use absolute URLs in the formsweb.cfg file (e.g. the serverURL parameter for the Forms Listener Servlet).
3. In Forms9i, reloading a page does restart Forms and reloading a page is what Portal does all the time. Use the Java 1.4 Plugin instead of JInitiator and set the legacy parameter to make it behave like Forms6i. Note that the change in behaviour was added by SUN in Java.
4. In Portal use the URL portlet from the JPDK to link Forms into Portal
Actually from exoerience our recommendation still is to run Forms in an extra Window.

    1. Enable Forms SSO in the forms90/server/forms90.conf file
    (Uncomment the SSO directives available at last)
    Create Resource access configuration for the User also.
    2. In the Portals create an URL Item pointing to the Form you wanna deploy.
    3. Add the URL item portlet into the Portal page.

  • Inserting Fillable forms into PDFs converted from word

    I need some help with inserting a fillable form I created in Live Cycle.  When I go to insert the form into a file that was originally created in word and saved as a PDF,I receive a message (see below)
    I need to be able to find a way to insert the fillable form to the end of a regular PDF, without losing the capabilities of the form, including a submit by email button, which I tried both as the Email submit button and the regular button, formatted to submit a email in response.
    I don't know if there is some settings or preferences that I can change to be able to insert the form, but I need it to be one document.I know that this is not impossible, as I have seen other documents in this formatting, I just cant seem to be able to get it.

  • Import  oracle forms into portal

    Can anyone please give me some pointers in importing forms created by orcale forms into portal?

    There is no direct way to import your Oracle Forms into Oracle Portal, as the Forms within our Portletbuilder components are of a smaller, simpler functionality set than that provided within Oracle Forms.
    What I would recommend is to invoke your Oracle Forms from Portal by integrating Forms with Oracle Single-Sign-On (SSO). Integration of Oracle Forms with Oracle SSO is described in Chapter 5 of the Oracle9iAS Forms Services Deployment Guide, available here on OTN:
    http://otn.oracle.com/products/forms/pdf/B10170_01.pdf
    Hope this helps.

  • Inserting a Query into Portal

    Hi All,
    For the First time i got a chance to work on portal.
    Now i need to insert a query into portal..Before that i want to know the whole process.
    I have searched in SDN for this creteria...but found some different answers and i got bit confussed.
    So requesting all to let me know the whole procedure that means
    1.what are the settings to be done to execute the report through portal(Required Installations....etc)
    2.How to insert a query into portal....
    if any document is there which gives fundamental idea about portal and inserting query into portal , Please share with me.
    regards
    Saha

    Hi Saha,
    If you are executing queries on portal from role menu then in this case you need to change the URL of report in menu role. This can be done using transaction PFCG. Here you need to maintain the URL format which will point to the Java stack in portal.
    if you are executing the reports on portal by clicking on the Infoarea where you can select queries by infoprovider, you need not to do any setting.
    To execute report on portal you will need to have Business Intelligence role on portal.

  • Integrate pdf (converted from smart form ) into portal

    Hi,
    My Requirement is as follows,
    We are using FPM framework and the application is developed on Webdynpro Java,
    When a end user fills up the details on this application form and clicks on a Review button,
    it will display the summary of the above details in a PDF format.
    This PDF will be converted from a smart form in backend.
    My question is how do we integrate this PDF at runtime into Portal via WebDynpro Java?
    Thanks in advance,
    ~Veena.

    Hi.
    First tell your abapper to make a RFC for you that returns the binary of the smartform.
    Then import that RFC.
    Create an Interactive Form UI Element.
    -In its properties, select "usePdf" option and then in pdfSource select the attribute where the binary from the zfunction is returned.
    If you dont have problems with encoding the pdf will be shown.
    Wish you luck.
    Bye

  • Inserting PDF form into Word

    I am needing to insert an interactive PDF form into a section in a word document. It is an approval page and MUST be pdf-protected, but still let the user fill in the areas where allowed. Word lets me insert this file and I am able to type in the areas where needed - the interactive feature works great to this point. Even after saving what I've typed/entered, it still doesn't display what I typed in Word (the inserted interactive PDF). Can anyone tell me how I can get my pdf to work properly this way?

    I have not done this but I can assure you that there is nothing in Designer to do with this. At that point it is a PDF so how woudl you add any other PDF to your swing panel?

  • Mass Insert of Users into Portal

    I need to add approx 1100 portal users. Does any one have a suggestion on adding them via a script rather than one by one. The portal users appear to share a schema, so I expect that I have to do something different than adding them via the convential database method in SQL.
    Thanks Paul

    In case you would like to use public APIs instead of Oracle
    internal (and unsupported) ones, you can use the
    wwsso_api_user_admin.create_user
    to create the SSO users, then the
    wwsec_api.add_portal_user
    to create the portal users (the user must already exists at SSO
    level).
    In case you need to attach people to groups, you can also call
    the wwsec_api.add_user_to_list
    For setting the user default group, you should call the
    wwsec_api.set_defaultgroup
    To activate the user, then call the
    wwsec_api.activate_portal_user

  • Insert PHP-form into XHTML-div

    Maybe a noobish question but i cannot find the solution on the web...
    I have a XHTML based index.html.
    I use Spry tabbed panels.
    In 1 Panel (Contact Panel) i like to have a email form displayed.
    How do i show my Form.php inside this div?
    I want the Content div to display the php form without putting the php code in the div.
    Header
    Menu
    Content [here do i want to display the form]
    Footer

    Best to use an external PHP page and link the form to it. Something like:
    <form action="php/sendform.php" method="post" name="contactForm" id="contactForm">
    Then lay the form out the way you want in the DIV.

  • Integrating Offline adobe form in Portal

    Hi All,
    I created offline adobe form using SFP tcode.
    This form needs to be integrated in Portal. When user logs in, he/she should be able to open this form.
    Can offline adobe form can be integrate to portal directly? or do we need to create the Webdynpro applications only for poral?
    Please let me know whether we can integarate offline adobe form to portal directly. If not why?.. I don't know about portal.
    Thank you!
    Prasad

    Hi Deepika,
    This discussion thread is all about integrating a WebDynpro application which contains adobe form into portal.
    I assume your requirement is different which needs to upload an offline adobe form into portal.
    There are documents available to explain this functionality in detail. Please note down the following.
    1) For uploading adobe form should be XML schema based.
    2) There should be a webdynpro application with uploader UI element which has been integrated into the portal.
    3) On form upload, you will get all the data associated with the form within webdynpro
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Oracle Forms and portal

    Does any one know how to integrate oracle forms into portal. I am using Oracle 10g?
    Thanks

    How do you want the integration to function? Do you just need a form to run on a page or do you need the form to interact with Portal functionality?
    The former is easy to accomplish with a frame portlet. The latter not so easy but doable. Using the database as the common denominator its possible to have Forms interact with Portal thru PLSQL and data tables acting as state repositories.

  • Deploy Developer Forms

    hello
    i´m having problems with deploying Developer Forms in Portal
    problem 1:
    i try to create a new url portlet in portal to display the developer form. i paste the link i got when running it from form builder (http://marpolas.marpol.si:8888/forms90/f90servlet?config=delavec1). i have the oc4j instance from forms developer running
    when running the portlet i get the error:
    load: class oracle.forms.engine.Main not found
    any ideas?
    problem 2:
    i would like to have oc4j instance running forms inside portal, now i have to run the oc4j instance from Forms Developer to get my Forms working.
    is the a nice step by step guide to create a new oc4j instance for forms?
    Thanks in advance
    Marjan

    Hi
    Are you able to run the forms, if you give the URL Directly in the browser http://marpolas.marpol.si:8888/forms90/f90servlet?config=delavec1
    I think it if working independently, then it should work in the portlet too as this portlet is just having a link for the URL.

  • How to insert a UUID into multiple tables in the same form

    I am trying to insert a UUID into 2 different tables at the
    same time ie to let this be created in the form and then insert
    this ID into 2 linked tables in a database using Access.
    Does anybody have any suggestions on how to accomplish this?
    Thanks very much

    So you have one form that processes information for two
    tables, or do you
    have two forms (one for each table - except the UUID)?
    If it is one form just run two SQL insert statements. One for
    the primary
    table, then one for the related table.
    If it is two forms run the above two SQL statements then an
    update statement
    to finish filling the second table.
    Or am I completely misunderstanding the issue?

  • Generate or import xml form content into portal

    Hi, we have a content repository type "fsdb" in wich we have created a xml form to publish content.
    Now we need to develope a program or process that read information from a database and generate the xml content in the repository,
    How can we generate the xml form content?
    I have tried coping and existing element of the repository from the file system and changing the data but something more is needed, I think that is necesary to update the database.
    Any suggestion is welcomed.
    Thanks in advanced.
    Regards.

    Hi,
    I differred my theme, cause I also had to use and transport the xml-forms into another portal. For this reason I have to use xml-forms. I've found out how to modify the the content/text of an subscription-mail.
    Is there any way to define different layouts for subscription-mails? (Maybe depending on the folder.)
    Is there any way to send an e-Mail to a specified address (including the content) when saving the xml-form?
