Issues with form fill by multiple processors

Hi,
To put in simple words the scenario is something like this:
I have an interactive form with one field (field1). When the user submits this form it will start a Guided Procedure. Lets call this as Form1.
In the first action of the guided procedure, I am creating another interactive form with field1 and a new field (field2) and sending it by mail to the processor. This guy downloads the form, enters a value in field2 and submits back to GP. Lets call this is as Form2. (I am mapping field1 of form1 to field 1 of form2).
The next step is a RFC callable object which takes these 2 fields as input.
At first I tried to take both the fields from Form2 and map to the action of RFC callable object.. then I got errors (cannot handle text/html.. probably because GP engine was trying to throw some errors in HTML) while submitting the form2.
Then I tried to take field1 from form1 and field2 from form2... still got the same error.
Then I tried to assign default value to field1, still got the same error.
When I did not map field1 at all, the submission of form2 worked. However, my RFC failed (obviously).
How can handle this situation? How can I see the errors that GP is tryinig to throw? defaultTrace.trc log is not showing any errors.
Thanks
Ram

Hi Ram
You can activate all type of GP messages in 'defaultTrace.trc'. Sometimes important thing is not an Error. Go to Visual Admin -> Services -> Log Configuration -> Locations, enable Advanced Mode, go to location 'com/sap/caf/eu/gp' and switch over a severity on it from Error to All.

Issue with Color Fills and Multiply?

Hi,
I use Photoshop 7.0, and yesterday I started having an issue with Color Fills.
(You may actually have to Say I have a black-and white lineart on the background layer, such as
this. I double-click on the background layer to make it edit-able.
I click on the Color Fill button, choose solid color, then pick any color (say we use bright red). I go back to the lineart, move the Color Fill layer to underneath the lineart layer, and fill the Color Fill with black. Normally, it would just create white, however for me it has pink/light red. The same thing also happens for patterns and gradients; it leaves a very faded version of the color on the picture.
I didn't change any options or settings, however my little brother was playing around with Photoshop, and he may have changed something. Can anyone tell me how to get it so that there is no pink or faded color there?
Thanks in advance.

One quick way to fix this is to hold down crtl-alt-shift while Photoshop
starts up, and reset your prefs to their factory defaults. This will not
lose any of your work.
The other way is to look through your various settings. Top of the list is
whether your new files are being created in RGB or CMYK mode. It should be
RGB.

Printing Issues with HP D145 and multiple users from G5

Hi - I've a HP D145 All-In-One connected via USB to a G5 (as described below). The machine has multiple accounts on for different members of my family. The printer is directly connected to the G5 via USB connection but is shared with other Macs. Printing has become increasingly difficult, and we now have the following problems:
1. Printing will only work from the administrators account.
2. Printing periodically (daily, generally after a few hours of use) stops from the administrators account
Solutions tried:
a. Check set up for the non-administrators accounts....Looks OK for printing
b. When printing stops - I've tried repairing the permissions with the Disk Utility. This no longer works.
c. Run Printer Setup Repair (with option to repair all user accounts) - Works for the administrators account providing the computer and printer are restarted, otherwise no effect.
d. Reinstalling the software - No effect
It’s beginning to look like I need to replace this printer with one that works.
You can help me in two ways - how to solve the printer problems, or alternatively suggest a colour All-in-One printer that can work with multiple accounts and does not have the problems mentioned above.
Many thanks in advance,
Regards,
Melvyn

Sincerely,
2. The reasons why it may not have worked:
We need to be sure that you are fully logging out of one account and
then back into the next. The fast user switching feature of the Mac OS
can create problems with our printer drivers. For this reason, fast user
switching is not supported by HP.
The other issue we may be running into would be the Mac OS itself. Over
the past few months the Mac OS has gone through several updates. When
the 10.4.4 version was released it created some issues with our existing
software. An updated version of our software has been developed which
works well with 10.4.4 and higher, but it is not available for this
printer.
It may be that as each new OS update is installed on your computers that
the issue becomes worse. If you are running the Mac OS 10.4.3 or lower
then the version 7.3.1 of our software should work fine. If it is 10.4.4
or higher there will be some issues as the new OS versions do not seem
to like the older drivers.
I would have to recommend retrying the full uninstall the Derek had
outlined. This time however, just install the downloaded 7.3.1 software
from our web site for the D145. Once it has been installed we need to
test it fully without adding the scanjet software. I am hoping that
without both version of our software installed it may work better.
This should resolve the issue. If you need further assistance, please
reply to this message and we will be happy to assist you further.
3. The repsonse to questions on switching and OS X 10.4.4
You are correct, since you are running the 10.4.4 I cannot guarantee
that the older software version will allow full functionality. It should
allow for printing and as long as you avoid the fast user switching,
when trying to print, it should keep working well.
I understand the convenience of fast user switching but you will have to
log completely out of one user, and then log properly into the next
before you can expect the printer to function.
I would still recommend trying the steps I had outlined as it really is
the only thing you can do that may work.

Adobe 9 issues with forms in Acrobat Reader 7

I've been reading up on this forum as to why the adobe rights are disabled after a user saves their data in Reader. I have been adding form fields in Adobe Standard 9 then save the file, test it in Reader, then Extend the Forms Fill-In for Adobe Reader and save the file with a slightly different name. The only usage rights that are allowed is to Save Form Data. When I test the file in Reader 7, I can save the data but when I go into the document to make sure my data is there, I get that dreaded and popular message "Adobe Rights have changed and are no longer valid dialog box...
I never changed the original extended file to cause this..even when I don't add data but save to a new file anyway I lose the writable functionality.
A side note, I do not use LiveCycle and have been asked not to when creating these forms.
I did not have any problems with the forms that I had other people create and extend in Adobe Pro 8. It seems to be a Standard 9 and Pro 9 problem. Or, it could very well be me!
I use Reader 7 to test because these forms are for a volunteer organization and there are users on some early versions of Reader. II do not use earlier versions of Reader. This doesn't seem to be an issue in Reader 9. I cannot vouch for Reader 8.
I just had one of my form writers take my form that was done in Standard 9 and Extend Forms Fill-In via Adobe Pro 8. She initally received a message stating that the file appears to use a new format and it may not open or display correctly. I then got that same message when opening the extended version of the file. The document rights on the new form allow me to add comments and markup, a digital signature and save form data. Once I fill out the fields and try to save, also get another dialog box telling me that I need Adobe Standard or Professional to save (in this case it was 7 since I'm testing in Reader 7).
The forms that I am creating are initally PDFed by another party. The orignal forms are created in QuarkXpress 4.1 and PDFed using Acrobat Distiller 4.0 for Macintosh. I retrieve the files from a web site and save them to my hard drive to work on them. They are shared via email.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've spent the last week researching but no anwers to help me solve this particular issue with 9.

Interesting. I did just do the Reduce File Size and extended the document and there were no dialog boxes when I saved my data. The file size got larger instead of smaller and I received the message at the end of the Reduce File Size cycle that said " Enforcement of compatability to an earlier version of Acrobat has increased the size of some images". There is an image in the file, not one that I added, but from the original document. No change to the image either. No biggie to me. As long as my users can fill out the form and come back to it later to make changes, I'm happy!
Thank you. I think that solved it!

Issue with forms in Safari

I have a feeling this is an issue with the underlying programming, but I thought I would ask. I use a website that has a textbox for entering form data. As part of that textbox, when I use in my computer there are several icons for inserting an image url, inserting urls and several others.
On the safari app in ipad and iphone these icons do not appear. Anyone have any suggestions on work arounds?
Thanks

Well, completely borrowed from a prior related submission by one who certainly appears to know his web design stuff ..... You have to use the 'touch' related JavaScript command set vice the mouse-based ones.

Issue with DB Adapter involving multiple tables

Hi,
Am facing an issue with DB Adapter with multiple tables. Here are the details.
I have 4 tables. Header, Details,Products and Devices. The relationship is defined as follows:
Header has 1:M relationship with Details.
Details has 1:M relationship with Products.
Products has 1:M relationship with Devices.
I want to select the details from all the tables for a particular header_id and detail_id. Defined 2 parameters and query is created with parameters.
SELECT DISTINCT t0.FILE_NAME, t0.UNIQUE_SEQUENCE_NUMBER, t0.HEADER_COUNT, t0.TOTAL_DEVICE_COUNT, t0.FILE_DATE, t0.FILE_SEQ_NUMBER, t0.DEVICE_COUNT, t0.PHONE_TYPE, t0.PHONE_OWNERSHIP, t0.TRANSACTION_TYPE, t0.PURCHASE_ORDER_NUMBER, t0.CUSTOMER_ID, t0.CUSTOMER_DEST_SUFFIX, t0.LOCATION_DESTINATION, t0.MASTER_FACTORY_ORDER, t0.MASTER_FACTORY_ORDER_LINE_NUM, t0.ENT_ORDER_NUMBER, t0.DELIVERY_IDENTIFICATION_NUM, t0.UEDF_REVISION_NUM, t0.STATUS, t0.INBOUND_BPEL_INSTANCE_ID, t0.ERROR_DESCRIPTION, t0.INBOUND_FILE_VERSION, t0.CREATED_BY, t0.CREATION_DATE, t0.UPDATED_BY, t0.UPDATE_DATE FROM EDF_HEADER_STG_INT t0, EDF_DETAILS_STG_INT t1 WHERE (((t0.FILE_NAME = #file_name) AND (t1.EDF_SERIAL_TYPE = #prod_type)) AND (t1.UNIQUE_SEQUENCE_NUMBER = t0.UNIQUE_SEQUENCE_NUMBER))
I expect the DB Adapter to retrieve the records for the parameters passed. i.e only those records from details table which matches with the parameter I passes in (t1.EDF_SERIAL_TYPE = #prod_type) . But I see that the DB Adapter retrieves all records from the details table for a particular unique_sequence_number(unique_sequence_number is primary key for headers table and foreign key for details table). Could you pls tell me how can I retrieve only selected records from the details table?
Regards,
Meenu

Yes. When I run this query in DB, I get one record . While defining DB Adapter, I have imported 4 tables and also defined the relationship between the tables. In my case, column unique sequence number is primary key of headers table and foreign key of details table.The above select query is generated by the DB Adapter for the parameters I have passed in.
My data is as follows:
Headers table:
file_name uniq_seq_num
file_1.xml 220
Details table
product_id unique seq num edf_prod_type
111 220 A
112 220 B
113 220
Now, I call DB Adapter with parameters 'file_1.xml' (file_name)and 'A'(prod_type). I expect the DB adapter to retrieve only one record with product_id 111 in the detailscollection. But I see that the adapter retrieves all records from the details table without considering the value of prod_type.

Having issues with patches that require multiple reboots in a task sequence?

Are you guys having issues doing a build and capture or deployment, while including the recent patches ?
It looks like another patch is requiring multiple reboots which breaks the task sequence...
Long story short... the last time I created a .Wim file was in June (with ZTIWindowsUpdate) - it included all the patches as of June 2014. This image has been deployed since then with no problem. All the other monthly patches (07/08/09/10/11/12/01) can be
installed successfully through the deployment task sequence with no problem.
Then last week, I decided to create a new .Wim file to include all the patches as of January 2015. In my build and capture step, it exits because one of the updates requires multiple reboot. I checked on the following website and it has not been updated
since October 22nd : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2894518
Do any of you experiences issues with a WSUS that requires multiple reboot recently ?
Thanks!

As mentioned, the MDT offline updates task will do it. Add it to your build and capture and it will do the work for you using the updates in an update package that you've previously created. Alternatively, use a stand-alone instance of MDT to create your
image (using a build and capture TS of course) -- this can then use a stand-alone instance of WSUS to install the updates into your image which you then import into ConfigMgr.

Performance issue with form after 10g upgrade

Hi Team,
Last week we have upgraded our systems to 10g database.
Ever since we did an upgrade there is a huge performance issues with the custom forms and this is causing a major setback to our business. Before the upgrade the forms were running with our any performance issues.
Can anyone please help me in finding out the reason behind the performance issue(May be a tar or performance tuning).
Many Thanks in Advance.
Regards
Kumar

Like Jan said,
You must supply more information so we can help you, like where the degradation happens?, in processing? in navigation? in forms loading?? where?
You may also do a little test. Create a one button form, just a canvas and a button, you can include a message in when-button-pressed trigger.
run it and see what happens.

Validation issues with form (was: Validation)

Issue with Form Editor, Payslip

Dear All,
I have an issue in Salary Slip. I am making my own pay slip in form editor and I have made 4 windows for displaying 4 different type of allowances and deductions but when I call the value in window from wagetypes in RT they come up as multiplied by 10. For example, (Please note that I am in Oman and local currency is OMR that uses 3 places after decimal for example 20.300 OMR) An employee has basic pay of 1500.700/- OMR it is coming up as 15007.00/- OMR. The amount in RT is coming fine as 1500.700/- OMR, I have checked it. When I call a wagetype in a single field the value comes out fine so the issue is with values displayed in the Windows.
Can anyone tell me whats going on???
Regards,
Ahsan Zaidi.

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.

Upgraded to pro X and having issues with form created in pro 9

I created a form in LiveCyle using Pro 9, the form was created for an employer who had to buy Pro X so I was upgraded to Pro X. Here are the issues I am having, This form was the first time I have ever created a form and I have never used Java Script so there is no scripting involved.
1) With Pro 9, if I opend the form with adobe instead of LiveCycle I could delete pages. Now with Pro X I can not however I can delete pages in PDF's that I did not use LiveCycle on. How do I enable exert, delete, insert, etc....
2) I was told that with Pro X it was possible to set the form so that when it's emailed back to the employer after being filled out, it could be secure. I have not been able to figure out how to set that up. The employer needs to receive the completed PDF as a PDF with the information that was input secure (socials, etc... ). If I set up an email button the employer receives a list for information and that does not work for them.
3) The employer would like to have a few fields that they input in the form then secure them or make them read only so the employee can not modify. I know how to do it design mode but it prevents them from being able to input the information they want (employee number for example).
Java Script is totally foreign to me as I am not an IT person I am a novice computer user that is self taught. If I am going to have to learn this, can anyone suggest a website or book for beginners?
Thank you for any help you can provide....
Heather

Hi Heather,
There are a few things going on.
Firstly, forms that are created in LC Designer are fundementally different to native PDF documents. LC Designer forms are known as XFA Forms and are placed in a PDF wrapper, so that they can be opened in Acrobat/Reader. However a lot of the normally editing options (like deleting pages) that you can perform on a native PDF, you cannot do on an XFA Form.
You can set up the form to be emailed back and there are a number of options. The example here (http://assure.ly/dYQFb4 and http://assure.ly/hM2A5y) looks at the standard Submot by Email button down to custom buttons, depending on the functionality you need/want.
One of the things you need to bear in mind is that for users with Reader to be ble to submit the form back as a PDF, it first needs to be Reader Enabled. This is something you can do in Acrobat before you send out the form, but there are license restrictions. See here . http://assure.ly/etkFNU.
You can set up a solution that locks the fields in the form, prior to submission, but you are getting into scripting. There is an example here: http://assure.ly/yDtfsM.
When it comes to resources... see my recommendations here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4186925#4186925.
I hope that helps,

Issues with Form printing using a 3rd party software!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

Hi All,
We are printing our month end AR statements using Xerox DP100 printers. We are using a SAP Script as the layout form. Everything works perfectly alright when a direct print is issued to the printer. But the scenario here is the statements are sent to a 3rd party software so that the statements can be saved in their repository and made available to be viewed and printed whenever necessary. Now the issue is when this 3rd Party Software(TPS) reads the SAP generated PCL from its report store on the unix host and generates a PDF File that it presents to the web client user for (re)printing via his/her PC it appears that the TPS or Websphere or Adobe is performing a font substituion - replacing the Univers font(used in R/3) which is not loaded on the unix host with a different font(with different sizing and/or behavior).
As a result the horizontal and vertical positioning generated by SAP(which is correct for the Univers font) is 'wrong' for the substituted font. The fixed size fields print OK but gradually move to the right. The varying size amount columns do not align correctly and fall off the right side of the page.
Can anyone give me pointers on what can be done to arrest this error.
Does the font need to be loaded on the unix host or the font used in the form be changed?
Regards,
Karthik

Karthik,
Sap script behaves differently for different printers. You will have to change margins when you change your printer/software accordingly.

Issue with Drag/Drop of multiple rows from ListView

I am working on a sample application with 2 list views i.e. players and team, and implement drop and drop such that players can be dropped from one list view to the other. Everything is working as expected when there is single selection model is enabled on the source list view. However, if I enabled Multiple selection model and drag 2 or more rows from source list view to target list view, seeing the following exception after the drop is completed.
Exception:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Only serializable objects or ByteBuffer can be used as data with data format [subListPlayers]
at com.sun.javafx.tk.quantum.QuantumClipboard.putContent(QuantumClipboard.java:513)
at javafx.scene.input.Clipboard.setContent(Clipboard.java:230)
1) What should be the DataFormat used in order to be able to drag and drop multiple rows? Looks like we do not have for Object type, so I have created the following one which does not solve the problem.
   private DataFormat dataFormat = new DataFormat("subListPlayers");
2) I have made changes to support serialization on the data object which also does not seem to solve the issue. Tried by implementing Serializable interface as well as by implementing Externalize interface.
Can someone please guide if there is an easy way to implement this behavior?

Yeah, this is a pain. I filed https://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-29082 a while back. Go ahead and vote for it if you are inclined...
I think the issue in your case is that the observable list provided by MultipleSelectionModel.getSelectedItems() is not Serializable. So even if you make your Player class Serializable, the list itself isn't. The first thing I would try, I think, is to make Player implement Serializable and then pass in an ArrayList instead of the observable list. So you can do
content.put(dataFormat, new ArrayList<Player>(playersListView.getSelectionModel().getSelectedItems()));
and
List<Player> player = (List<Player>) dragEvent.getDragboard().getContent(dataFormat);
teamListView.getItems().addAll(player);
If that doesn't work, a workaround is just to store the "dragged list" in a property:
final ListProperty<Player> draggedPlayers = new SimpleListProperty<Player>();
// Drag detected handler:
content.putString("players");
draggedPlayers.set(playersListView.getSelectionMode().getSelectedItems());
// Drag dropped handler:
if (dragboard.hasString() && dragboard.getString().equals("players")) {
     teamListView.getItems().addAll(draggedPlayers.get());
     draggedPlayers.set(null);

View issue with Form 9i Web

I am using Form 9i (Web) and have installed Jinitiator 1.3.1.26 with IE 8.0. on Windows 7.
I am getting a very strange issue, when I type any thing on the form, there is no display come, however when I tab to different screen and come back to the same I can see the word I have typed earlier. Do I need to use any other Jinitiator version?
Please help.

The only Forms Builder version certified for installation on Windows 7 is Oracle Fusion Middleware (FMw) 11g. Developer Suite 10g can be made to work on Windows 7 by following the installation instructions for installing on Windows Vista, but this is not supported by Oracle. The minimum Java version certified by Oracle, for IE 8, is Sun JRE 1.6.0_16. It is recommended, however, that you install the latest version (1.6.0_23).
Developer Suite 9i is definately not supported by Oracle for installation on Windows 7. You might be able to make it work by following the same installation steps for installing on Windows Vista (see My Oracle Support document: How to Install Developer Suite 10.1.2.3 on Windows Vista [ID:559067.1]).
