Issue in XML Form Builder

Dear Experts,
i am new to XML Form Builders in Portal, so i have started with this document as my first form:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/ee639033-0801-0010-0883-b2c76b18583a?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true
but i have come across two issues can you please guide me to troubleshoot this issue's:
Issue 1:
I have made changes as per the document but as per the document (refer page: 17, 2. point)
refer this image from document: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/825/xmlerror1.png/
New> Form>?,   here my created News is not displayed
But it show like below:
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/839/xmlerror2.png/
As shown in the image no News form that I have created?
Did I miss anything?
Issue 2:
As per page 18 from same document:
Path to Initially Displayed Folder:      /documents/myNews
Path to Root Folder for Navigation:    /documents/myNews
I have created Iviews with the same pathu2019s and when I Preview I am getting the error as below:
Item not found
/documents/myNews
The item you are attempting to access is not available. Check that the name or link is correct. You might also check whether the associated repository is currently accessible.
It seems that I am completely in wrong track can someone guide me in right direction to solve this both the issues.
Full points will be awarded for sure!
Regards,
Mahesh

Hi,
Please read and try to understand the concept; give yourself some time. Try to understand what an XMLForms project is and how this differs from content based on such a project.
> Path to initially displayed folder : /documents/myNews
> Path to root folder for Navigation: /documents/myNews
These are just two settings for the KM navigation iView; you can read the (different) meanings on help.sap.com. But in short words: You just configure to which folder the KM navigation iView points to. That's all.
> so here it pointing to both newly created folder for saving the form created by the end users
If you have the iView, it is a KM nav iView pointing to this folder. Now an "end user" - it is: an author - can call this iView and can create content based on the XMLForms you have created before (Folder - New - Forms - ...). That's all. That works. End of story. Afterwards, XMLForms content objects based on your project are to be found in this folder.
> but this folder "myNews" does not contain the form which i have created
You have created an XMLForms project. Period. You can ("author" iView!!!) create content based on your project in that folder.
> so how do the end users see my form in first case.
??? Really, you have to be much more precise if you want to survive in IT... What is your "end user"? We are talking of an author iView. In that cas it is an author. And under "Folder - New - Forms - ..." there is the possibility to create new XMLForms content based on the project you have created. (That you have said by yourself - issue 1 was gone!!!)
There is nothing more to explain. That it everything. I really don't see your or any problem any more.

Issue with XML form builder

Hi All,
1 ) My XML form builder is hanging up very very frequently (other than this, my portal is very fast).
when I save the project its hangs up at "50% saving internal model". then I have to close the xml form builder and reopen it and save it again (when i do it repeatedly, some time it saves).
when I click on "open Project" many times its not popup the project list, I have to close the xml form builder, logout from my portal and then login back.
Its horrible to work on this, keeps on hanging every time. Any idea why its behaving like this? as I said, my portal is very fast except XML form builder.
My Java version is 1.4.2_16... XML form builder verison is 6.xx
2) when clicked on "preview" button, can we open a pcd iview??? my requirement is, when user clicks on preview button I need to open my application built in PDK java (created iview out of it, which shows xml form in a better way)?
3) Can I show "Edit" form first other than "Renderer" form in News application? Presently it shows renderer form-> user has to click edit link -> then it will open Edit form. I want "Edit" form to be visible to the user in the first step itslef. is it possible?
Thanks
Pradeep

Hi.
I suppose changing of the JDK, because 1.4.2_16 is not recommended version (see SAP Note 716604). Refer to note 718901 - How to Change the JDK of the J2EE Engine.
Also check what version of client JRE in use. (see Note 1341069 - XML Forms Builder not supported if client JRE is 1.6).

Issue with HTML Editor of XML Form Builder.??

Hi All,
We are using HTML Editor of XML Form Builder to enter the Content. This content will be displayed to teh User by parsing these XML Files generated by the XML Form Builder Application.
But, when we parse the XML, the other field values are coming properly, except HTML Editor field Content.
This is working fine, only when I enter a Single line Text. If I enter some Spaces, New lines, Paragraphs, etc. the XML Parsing is not returning any Content..
And also when I use Text Area, the total content is returning as a Single Paragraph, Even if I enter multiple lines, spaces,.
If anyone has Idea on this, Please Help me to solve this Issue ASAP.
Thanks&Regards||
Ashok Kumar M.

Hi Bala,
It is already mapped correctly. If I enter a single line Text in HTML Editor, I am getting the same Text after Parsing. But If I enter multiple lines, spaces, new lines, etc., then the Problem.

Path to XML form builder reports in Portal

Hi Experts,
I am facing one issue. We have few XML forms builder screens in Portal.
Those were appearing fine but now one of them is not appearing properly.
Please let me know under KM , where these reports are stored so that I can check whether these reports.

Srini,
The XML forms are under etc-xml forms.
However, if the forms are not appearing properly, you would have to open it in XML forms builder and check.
Assign yourself the Content Management role. Check this wiki for more details.

Hi Leah,
Have you tried double clicking?
If this doesn't solve the issue, you might want to try using a different version of the browser and disable the pop up blocker on your browser.
Please try this out and let me know.

Hi, Kris@EP.
Recommended JRE on client side for XML Forms Builder is 1.4.* or 1.5.*
Be sure that you got JRE version is lower than 1.6
If you have JRE 1.6.* implement [SAP Note 1341069|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes/sdn_oss_ep_km/~form/handler%7B5f4150503d3030323030363832353030303030303031393732265f4556454e543d444953504c4159265f4e4e554d3d31333431303639%7D]

Hi Lorcan.
So what exactly happens when you try to start XML Forms builder, do you get an actual error or does it just not start at all?
> Actually the News are not getting displayed . The HTML (Html tages)are not getting rendered properly in XML Form Builder.
This news are perfectly working in other environment (Dev/Qlty) but not in Production .. where i am facing the issue of rendering the news ( not in correct format as expected)
It is appearing as link. where as in my other environment the Text in proper HTML format.
(Link of News appearing in production) whereas in Dev/Qlty proper text with Heading/Font/Colour appears. Or are you only seeing errors when you run the environment check?
> I am getting the errors when running the environment check on in Production but not in Development/Quality.
Did you try it on different clients or with different users? Is this a new installation or have you recently upgraded? Are all your components on the same SP level?
> This is new installation but SP level are exactly same across the system(Dev/Qlty/Prod).
Also the check the settings and found proper..
Root Directory * /usr/sap/<System-ID>/SYS/global/config/cm/etc*
Please let me know am I missing something..
Why its not running on my production system.

Problem starting XML Forms Builder

Hi
I have a SAP EP 6.0 SP2 Patch 28 portal where I newly implemented the how to guide "How To Secure Permissions fro Initial Content In SAP EP 6.0 SP2".
In this guide I need to create a new Content Manager role, due to a SAP Note 775117.
All this seems ok, but now I am not able to start the XML Forms Builder.
I am getting an error message that says something about the "Access is denied:com.sap.portal.system/applications/com.sap.km.cm/components/xfbuilder - security zone:medium_safety/Com.sap.km.cm"
I have tried out several ways, then the recommendation, of implementing to get this application to be loaded, but unfortunately - this does not work.
Have anyone else reach some problem regarding this issue??

Problem saving XML Forms builder project

Hello,
I have extended my xml forms project with some functionalities and now I'm not able to save and generate it. When I'm trying to save the project saving process stops while saving 'GUIModel-Internal.xml' which is quite big file (~4MB). I can't find the reason which cause that.
I would be grateful for any ideas.

Hi Fallon,
It was typicall extension with normal changes within the XML Forms Builder. I've added some nodes in Data Schema and then create some controls on Edit and Show form which I connected with the newly created nodes. I know that custom changes in .xsl file will be erased after opening and saving the project within the XML Forms Builder so I'm trying no to do that. Have you got any idea why the project is not saving properly? Is it possilbe that XML Forms Builder could damage some files of my project while saving? After several tries of saving Show form could not be load while opening project. It's quite urgent for me to find solution or cause of this issue.
Regards,
Michal
