Interactive web query forms - can BO do this?

Hi,
we want is for an interactive web form that allows a call centre staff to run queries. See below for a mock up.
[http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dfr8cvrq_94f67wn4ft]
We're talking up to 50 users concurrent querying a dB with approx. 50ML msg's per day with 30 day's worth of data in the repository. From my experience with BO I haven't been able to see how such an interactive web form that queries the database can be realised. For example each of the Report Criteria would equate to a Prompt in BO.
In a previous life I was involved with developing such a tool but this was done through the use of macromedia dreamweaver and coldfusion. It's a pity since BO looks after the user management so well. Does BO have any bolt-on app's that could do the job?
The main functions this tool will allow are;
- SORT all Columns
- Master/Detail view click on record and see the detail - Drill cxan be used here once I create the correct hierarchies.
- Pop-up Calendars (small applets)
Is BO up for the task do you think. Do you know of anyone else I could pass this question onto?
Cheers, Ed

Thanks for the reply Praveen SG,
I used to use Business Objects way back in the day. So far on this job I'm going I've merely been using Designer to create the universe and then WEBI to create the reports.
I'm running BOXI 3.1 on a Red Hat Linux Ent 5.0 machine.
The User Mgmt is ideal within BO for what we're trying to achieve.
None of the other BO Tools Crystal Reports, Deski, Query As a Web Service would be able to provide the functionality I'm after.  
It seems these SDK add-on's all seem to have a Crystal reports focus.
I'll start rummaging about in the Tutorials (I know it's cheeky of me but you couldn't suggest some of the more applicable ones for me).
Also other than Bob are there any other places on the Web where I'd be able to pick some experts brains on this.
Thanks, Ed

  • Word Web App (2013) can't open this document ... Because the service is busy

    I have just set up Office Web Apps Server in a SharePoint 2013 test environment as per document here:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff431687.aspx
    Although I had some issues with Excel Web App at first, I've solved this and excel seems to work ok, However, the Word Web App just sits there spinning and ultimately give the error dialog:
    "Sorry, Word Web App can't open this document because the service is busy. Please try again later"   The Same link as above has a simple solution :
     Did you install Office Web Apps Server on a domain controller? Office Web Apps Server cannot run on a domain controller. Office Web Apps Server must be installed on a separate server that is part of a domain. For more information, see
    Software, hardware, and configuration requirements for Office Web Apps Server.
    I certainly did not install on a DC - its a standalone server.
    ULS Logs are growing by 2K per second even when I am not doing anything on the server.
    VERY FRUSTRATED!

    So after further research we have found the following:
    Un-bind and unindstall Web Application Server
    Clean Server
    Reinstall (by Mistake to the C: Drive)
    Bind and Provision
    WOW it works!
    Un-bind, deprovision, Uninstall, Web Application Server
    clean Server
    Re-install to the D: Drive
    Provision and Bind
    wow - it DOES NOT work
    Again - repeat the first scenario
    and once again IT WORKS
    SO Why doesn't it work on the D Drive - We've checked IIS Setting and Permission - there don't seem to be any differences.
    SO - Why isn't this working when changing the default installation location, is it just me?   Has anyone gotten this working installing to another drive?
    Thanks

  • Re-opening most recent files/web sites--how can i disable this?

    when I close a window and then reopen it, or when i log out and then log back in, the most recent thing I was looking at from before immediately pops open.  That is not necessarily the way I would like it to work--didn't do that with Snow L.  How can I disable this?

    In System Preferences > General > uncheck Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps.
    Note that this preference affects all apps.

  • Web Architecture Question- Can I do this?

    I have an application which is using cookies and client variable to process/track user activity in a cluster-server environment. A user basically is able to see one client at a time and each client has its own database.  I know if you have multiple email accouts in Hotmail, Yahoo, etc, you can only access one at time in the same manner.
    BUT I am wondering if there is a way for the user to access multiple clients at the "same time", meaning, one browser page is client A, one browser page is client B, one browser page is client C, etc.  If the user has the access right to all clients, logically he can open any two or more clients and does his CRUD.
    Can this be achieved?
    Thanks

    Hi
    Actually I thought of a way you could do this without special codes you have to track.
    All you have todo is manually set path cookie values for CFID and CFTOKEN, and use URL rewriting (mod_rewrite for apache, or isapi rewrite for iis).
    In your cfapplication tag you can disable the automatic creation of the cookie values for CFID and CFTOKEN:
    <cfapplication setclientcookies="no" ......
    Then create the cookies with something like this (this example assume clientmanagement is being used):
    <cfif not IsDefined("Cookie.CFID") or Cookie.CFID eq "">
        <cfheader name="Set-Cookie" value="CFID=#client.CFID#;HTTPOnly;path=/clientXXX/">
        <cfheader name="Set-Cookie" value="CFTOKEN=#client.CFTOKEN#;HTTPOnly;path=/clientXXX/">
    </cfif>
    clientXXX different for every different client instance you like.  Then all you need is a super simple URL rewrite removing the clientXXX part.
    So the browers url might look like: http://www.yousite.com/clientXXX/index.cfm, the server will actually serve the request from http://www.yousite.com/index.cfm.  But the cookie will be set for www.yousite.com/clientXXX and not www.yousite.com

  • As the creator of an interactive PDF form, can I block users from opening it in Preview or web?

    I have created a number of interactive PDF application forms which are downloaded from our website and completed by individuals and organisations who wish to apply for funding.
    Increasingly we are being contacted by people who are having trouble completing, saving and printing the forms. In almost every case it turns out that they have opened/filled in the form in Preview or in their web browser and the form has been corrupted. As Macs become more and more popular this is going to become a bigger issue, to the point where we may not be able to use interactive PDFs anymore. 
    We do have a warning at the top of the first page of each form telling people that they need to complete their form using Adobe Reader or Acrobat, with a hyper-link to the web page to download Adobe Reader for free. But this obviously isn't sufficient given the number of people who are still trying to access and complete the forms in Preview.
    What I want to know is if there is any way, as the creator of the form, that I can stop it from being opened in Preview in the first place? Or failing that, if it is possible to create a warning that pops up if the form in opened in Preview or a web browser?
    If this can't be done I will need to include a detailed technical help page in the form. Rather than starting from scratch, if anyone has already pulled this information together and would be happy to share it would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks for your help (in advance)
    Rachel

    You can't prevent it from opening, but you can active the form only if it's being used in a JavaScript-capable viewer. You could show a message (e.g., button, layer) by default, and get rid of it if a script that runs when the form is opened is executed. The script could also enable the fields if everything checks out.

  • Form fields in LiveCycle. I want to allow users to add URLs to a form so that they can be clicked and opened on the web by form reviewers (users). what is the best way to achieve this?

    Form fields in LiveCycle. I want to allow users to add URLs to a form so that they can be clicked and opened on the web by form reviewers (users). what is the best way to achieve this?

    Once the user has entered the URL they want to add to the form. You can use the loadXML function to implement some special text in a label...
    var linkValue = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?><exData contentType=\"text/html\" xmlns=\"http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-template/2.8/\"><body xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml\" xmlns:xfa=\"http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/\" xfa:APIVersion=\"Acroform:2.7.0.0\" xfa:spec=\"2.1\"><p style=\"font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none;letter-spacing:0in\">The new link the user have entered is:<a href=\"" + textfield.rawValue + "\">textfield.rawValue</a></p></body></exData>";
      this.resolveNode("lblURL").value.exData.loadXML(linkValue, 1, 1);

  • Who can use Web Service Forms??

    Just wondering, where do I find the specs for who can submit my Web Service forms. So far Reader 7 and Acrobat Standard 6 cannot use my Designer 7 web service forms (even after saving as Acrobat6 compatible static forms)
    My forms are not dynamic, the formaatting and layout do not change only the fields, so I am assuming my forms are static.
    TIA
    -Tim

    Hi Tim:
    "I am of the opinion that the Reader Extensions should be included with Live Cycle Designer/Acrobat "Professional". Many people will purchase with the expectation that they can create an interactive form, and have it be universally accessible because it is .pdf. "
    Yes, that's the opinion of many people. Unfortunately, many large businesses are still willing to pay for that functionality, so its unlikley that all the RE functionality will be built into future versions of Acrobat. However, Acrobat 7 does have some Reader Extensions in it - you can enable people to comment and review on documents using the free Reader tool, and Acrobat 8 expands on this by allowing Reader users to save form data locally (something that was available only in Reader Extensions).
    "There is mush attention paid to the capabilities of designer, and the full features with the purchase of Acrobat "Professional" but in reality they require anyone you send it to to have also spent a nice chunk of change for a compatible version of Acrobat (even though they may have already spent tens of thousands of dollars on Acrobat 6 site license, which is our situation). "
    Yes, but I'm not sure this is different from many other companies, who require that the client purchase expensive software in order to access their documents.
    "Is this Reader Extension capability included in Acrobat "Professional" 8? We (my department) purchased a full retail single license of "Professional" 7 this month, now I can only find information on Acrobat 8. As far as I know there was no caveat that the great feature filled forms that we were promised would only be compatible with the latest versions of the pricey Acrobat product. "
    There are many functions that Reader Extensions provides - allowing Reader users to access a web service is one of them, as is allowing Reader users to comment and review, as is allowing Reader users to save form data locally. The upcoming release of Acrobat 8 does not provide the ability to Reader enable a form to access a web service, but it does provide the ability for Reader users to comment and review and save form data locally.
    I hope this helps. I'll pass along this information to the Designer Product Manager as feedback.

  • How can I use a variable in webi query filter

    I created a webi report using the fiscal year/month(period) field as a filter to show a window of 18 periods.  The report works just as requested using a between filter on fiscal period with prompts for both the start and ending periods.  Now I'd like to calculate the start period based on what was entered in the prompt for the ending period (e.g. enter 201106 for the TO prompt on the between statement and have the FROM statement filled in as 201001.)  I can create variables in the report to display both the user response to the ending period prompt and the calculated starting period, but I cannot figure out how to incorporate that calculated starting date into the FROM side of the between query filter.
    Any suggestions? 
    Thanks,
    Doug
    Sorry I got my froms and to's mixed up in the first draft. Edited by: Doug Roswold on Mar 4, 2011 6:27 PM

    Let me understand what you want to do.  You don't want to use two prompts, just one, insn't it?
    I mean, instead of:
    Filter area:
    Date between "From prompt" to "To Prompt"
    You want something like:.
    Filter area:
    Date between Variable  to "To Prompt"
    if I'm not wrong that's not possible to achieve in Webi Query  Panel.
    Can you modify your universe? The only way to achieve it is modifying your universe, creating your formula in the universe and assigning it to an object, so you can use this new object in your filter area like this:
    Date between MyUniverseObject  to "To Prompt"

  • How can I eradicate this "Visual Touch" malware form my Mac OS X?

    How can I eradicate this "Visual Touch" malware form my Mac OS X on google chrome?
    I have tried everything i've seen in these forums so far, removing all extensions, manually added suggested filters & even uninstalled the entire browser and its contents on my device but still i am seeing the disgusting double underlined advertising haunting a large proportion of web pages i am visiting.
    Any help would be appreciated to finding a credible solution. Although it's advised to remove the adblock software as it is the potential cause it is unbearable surfing without it. So after trying every advised antidote i've just reinstalled it, and living with the double green line bullsh*t.
    Also i almost never use safari, just google chrome but when i went to try safari it looks like the parisite and found its way on to that browser too.
    Is there any type of malware software to search the computer which can successfully find and remove the cause of this ongoing issue? please it's insatiably irritating

  • I have created a PDF form with multiple drop downs, all with the same drop down values. When I select a value from 1 of the drop down fields, it replicates in all of the others - which I do not want. How can I fix this?

    I have created a PDF form with multiple drop downs, all with the same drop down values. When I select a value from 1 of the drop down fields, it replicates in all of the others - which I do not want. Can I fix this?

    I'm fairly new to this, but I think it has to do with the way you have the drop downs named. Did you copy one then keep pasting it in each field? If so, that is the problem. You should rename each one with a different number: Dropdown1, Dropdown2, etc. I think that might solve the issue.

  • How can I code this in Oracle Forms?

    I have a master-detail form. In the detail block, I have several records. Here is my name table.
    ID Name_Type Name
    1 old Mike
    2 Current John
    3 old Peter
    4 old Andrew
    I would like to create a button trigger which shall perform the following:
    1) insert a record into database with a copy of current value. In the above case it will insert create a record for John as name_type = 'OLD'. So we have total of 5 records. Commit the transaction.
    2) Scroll through my detail records (5) and go to one specific record and erase the values from it. In the above case, it should find John's record with name_type = 'Current' and erase John from it.
    How can I accomplish this in Oracle forms using a button-pressed trigger?

    Hi,
    Simple, using current values you can create new id , 'old' and name so oracle will create record, now refresh block, next using next_record in loop you can find record,erase one and refresh block.

    Also, this is a production site that is accessible over the Internet, so we are using https therefore the WOPIZone is external-https.

    My environment:
    - JBuilder X
    - Weblogic Platform 8.1
    - Windows XP SP2
    Here are my steps of implementing web services:
    1. Write the Java code for the back-end components that make up the Web Service. Here's the method that handle the operation
    public String testName(InputParam test) {
    String inputName = test.getName();
    System.out.println("Input name:"+inputName);
    return "Hello "+inputName;
    Here's InputParam:
    public class InputParam {
    private String name;
    public InputParam() {
    public String getName() {
    return name;
    public void setName(String name) {
    this.name = name;
    2. Since I use JBuilder X I configure everything including handlers chain through web services designers
    3. Build project
    If nothing goes wrong, I will get generated client jars and a war file with web-services.xml inside.
    I have no problem when I implement RPC-style web services.
    I got the above error when I implement Document-oriented web services, but
    I have no problem when I use String as a parameter instead of InputParam class.
    I tried to change some attributes that might be relevant but got no luck.
    I've tried using clientgen command line as well but the result was the same.
    Below are the guidelines for creating document-oriented web services from the BEA's document that I think I already followed
    - The methods that implement each operation of the Web Service can have only one parameter. This single parameter can be of any supported data type. (The Weblogic web services toolkit support simple JavaBean, doesn't it?)
    - The methods that implement each operation cannot use out and in-out parameters. (I'm not sure about this one since I got Holder classes after using clientgen. However, there's no <param> tag in web-services.xml.)
    I found the old solution from support.bea.com (ID = S-25689), but I don't think my situation is the same. I got the error while building web services...not deploying a web service.
    Any answers to this question will be very much appreciated.
