Mailing XML to Workflow Server - and merge

I have a form created in Designer 7.0 - that I have posted on our web-site. Therefore it is a stand alone PDF file. I have it set it to submit the XML data via e-mail to our Workflow Server 6.2. When the server received the e-mail... it initiates a new Workflow and makes the appropriate assignment based on the rules.
However, it is not merging the XML data into the PDF. Maybe this should be posted in the Workflow forum... Has anyone else run into this? Am I missing a programming step? I assumed that the merge would be inherent in the Workflow system.
Thanks for the advice.

Hi Daniel and thank you in advance for availability.
The code is good for me ... to do something like this:
      lv_null_string = cl_abap_conv_in_ce => UCCP ('0000 ').
     LOOP AT lt_stream ASSIGNING <fs>.
       IF sy-tabix = lines (lt_stream). "only the last row must not be absolutely length
          FIND FIRST OCCURRENCE OF lv_null_string IN <fs>
                IN BYTE MODE MATCH OFFSET lv_null_length.
          TRANSFER <fs> TO e_filename LENGTH lv_null_length.
       ELSE.
          TRANSFER <fs> TO e_filename.
       ENDIF.
     ENDLOOP.
     CLOSE DATASET e_filename.
What do you think?
Then I need your opinion, yesterday I turned the file, which was initially in BINARY MODE, in TEXT MODE, using:
* Before the function
      CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_BINARY_TO_STRING'
        EXPORTING
          input_length = lv_length
        IMPORTING
          text_buffer = lv_xml_string
        TABLES
          binary_tab = lt_stream
* And then writing
     OPEN DATASET FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING UTF-8.
     TRANSFER lv_xml_string TO e_filename.
     CLOSE DATASET e_filename.
Do you think this workaround will produce an equally correct file of XML or is it more correct (formally) write a binary file?
I ask this because I don't understand why we are the only ones to have this kind of problem around ... there is no other case in SCN.

Logging into APEX through Oracle XML DB HTTP Server and Embedded PL/SQL

Hi,
I have just finished installing Apex 3.0 on RHEL 4. I am not using HTTP Server, but Embedded PL/SQL. When I go to the page administrator page http://host:8080/pls/apex/apex_admin a prompt pops up and when I give the username as "admin" and the password then it doesn't log me in. I ran the apxconf.sql script and reset the admin password and it is still not letting me log in.
Please advise

Unfortunately, using the pl/sql gateway is not yet supported. The documentation should be more clear about that.
You'll need to use the HTTP server.

Snow Leopard Mail 4.4, Exchange Server, and Public Folders

I'm still confused about Apple's claim for the advantages of the Snow Leopard Mail program being of such significance to Corporate usage when it does not appear to support access to Public Folders when using an Exchange 2007 (or 2010) profile. Within a Corporate environment, Public Folders are one of the benefits for using Exchange.
Am I missing something?

JL,
What you are missing is the exchange! You can check your e-mail in an Exchange account, but you just can't "exchange" anything with others. I can't for the life of me figure out why such a fundamental feature was left out. While Apple is certainly capable of ignoring a feature like this, Microsoft itself has said that the days of public folders are numbered. I think that since Exchange has become more of a standard rather than proprietary, Microsoft prefers to cripple it in favor of something (Sharepoint) that will be proprietary. Why have something simple, that works, when you can complicate it with something new!
The best I can tell, there is no support for public folders in mail.app for Snow Leopard. However, I can't really find a post that firmly states that. There seems to have been support for public folders in the past (pre-Snow) through IMAP. I'm not really sure how that worked, but I've already upgraded, so it's too late for me.
I'd be happy to hear a firm explanation of this from someone from Apple (or otherwise connected).
Good Luck, Jack

Workflow server end embedded PL/SQL and XDB

Hi,
I read in the Installation Guide that we must use Apache. We have Oracle 11.1.0.7 and embedded PL/SQL (from APEX) and don't use Apache. Is it possible to do so and install Workflow server without a HTTP-Server?
Thank you for your help
Siegwin

The Workflow Server is NOT certified with oracle database version 11g. But yes if you are using DB 10gR2 then without HTTP server you can install Workflow Server and use that. Conceptually, it applies on 11g also but Workflow Server is no more released with Oracle 11g DB, so I can not comment whether you would be able install and use Workflow Server with 11g.

Accessing two PDf documents and merging them

Hi,
I have and application where on click of a button, 2 pdfs are read from the server and merged into one pdf document. My pdf documents are placed in a folder in irj folder on server. For this i referred to the blog:
/people/nagamohan.devisetty/blog/2008/05/05/merging-pdf-files-using-java-apis
As per this blog, i created a java file.But I wrote the code written in the main method of this java file in the OnAction of the web dynpro view. So my java file just contains concat () for merging the pdfs. And from this view itself i created the object of the java file and called the concat (). But when i execute this application i get the error message stating "The system cannot find the path specified".
Can anyone please help in this regard.
Thanks & regards,
Anupreet

Hi,
Was your previous application already web dynpro? Or did you include your concat fonctuinnality to a web dynpro application?
From WD, if you want to write files, they are written by default in the server folder \usr\sap\J2E\JC00\j2ee\cluster\server0\persistent\developmentserver
Check if you have rights to write out of this folder, in the portal.

Mail with Microsoft exchanger servers and encryption

My campus is requiring certain e-mails to be encrypted. When I am on the Windows machines using outlook, there is a simple option to do this. But most of my time I am working on my Mac, thank goodness, and I would like to know if there is a setting somewhere that permits encryption of selected e-mails in a way compatible with the exchange server?
So far tech support has not gotten back to me yet, and searches of this subforum with 'encrypt + exchange + server' just bring up posts about using Mail with an Exchange server, and no 'encrypt'.

I am new as well. I am now getting mail from exchange, but it doesn't seem to want to use exchange as the outgoing mail server.
Also is there anything else that needs to be done in order to sync with my exchange calendar and contacts?

Where should we install Oracle Workflow Server?

Hi,
We are using Oracle Warehouse Builder 10G R1.
We installed Runtime Repository in oracle databae 10.2
We installed Oracle Workflow server 2.6.3.5 in separate oracle datbase 10.2.
What I mean to say is, we installed Runtime Repository in one database instance and Oracle Workflow manager in separate datbase instance.
Here my concern is whether both Runtime Repository and Wokflow server should be installed based on the same datbase? Or can we install on differnt datbases?
will it be fine?
Any suggestions are welcome?
Thank you,
Regards,
Gowtham Sen.

We run our workflow server and owb repository on a different machine than our DW instance. The main benefit being that we can do maintenance independently. Our OWF implementation is pretty benign as resources are concerned.
Our development server contains two instances for UAT and DEV, OWB repositories, and a single OWF implementation using the DEV instance. It runs perfectly fine, and if budget concerns were an issue I would have ran OWF, OWB and DW DB on the same instance in production.
However we do have an issue with the single OWF implementation on our DEV/UAT server. When we deploy the process flows in UAT it invalidates the process flows in DEV. Easy workaround though: Redeploy flows in DEV ( invalidates UAT). I haven't found a permanent solution around that.

Using FDF with Workflow server

Hello all,
I've got a PDF created with Acrobat Pro.
I've made some actions in it to get and post data from and to FDF files (genererated by a PHP program). Everything works perfectly. I can get, with acrobat reader or pro, all the data I want.
But i've tried to put it in the workflow server and it does not work. When I click on my button to get data, it does not work. Do you have an idea where the problem is ?
Regards,
Matt
(I've passed it through reader extentions)

Hey Matt,
Check the topic on PDF/HTML Forms on Workflow Server 6.2 posted by Marcelo Machado.
My answare was as follows, and he got back to me... It worked fine...
Regards.
"Hi, Marcelo.
That one is quite simple.... All you gotta do is to create the basic Action fields on your form and to script a submit button as follows:
1 - Create a hidden form field called JFWF_PDFINFO;
2 - Create the action list box called JFWF_ACTION;
3 - Create a button, which will run a JavaScript on the MouseUP event.
Here's the secret:
When you create a PDF form outside the Designer (e.g. using MS Word and Acrobat 6.0, for an instance) you have to customize the script for the Submit button. This is an example of a script that should be run on the MouseUP event of your submit button:
var boEnvia = true;
var oPDFInfoField = this.getField("JFWF_PDFINFO");
var aPDFInfo = oPDFInfoField.value.split(";");
var sTargetURL = "";// first element is the URL to post to
var sCleared = "";
var sRadioButtons = "";
if (boEnvia){
// see if potential checked checkboxes have been cleared
for (var i = 1; i < aPDFInfo.length; i++) { var aNameValue = aPDFInfo[i].split("="); var sName = aNameValue[0]; var sValue = aNameValue[1];
if (sName == "XFIELDS") {
var aFieldNames = sValue.split(",");
for ( var x = 0; x < aFieldNames.length; x++) { var oField = this.getField(aFieldNames[x]);
if (oField != null && oField.type == "checkbox" && !oField.isBoxChecked(0)) {
if (sCleared == "")
sCleared = ";UNCHECKED=" + aFieldNames[x];
else
sCleared += "," + aFieldNames[x];
else if (sName == "TARGETURL")
sTargetURL = sValue;
// Save radio button names...
for (var x = 0; x < this.numFields; x++) { if (this.getField(this.getNthFieldName(x)).type == "radiobutton") { if (sRadioButtons == "") sRadioButtons = ";RB=" + this.getNthFieldName(x); else sRadioButtons += "," + this.getNthFieldName(x); } }
if (app.viewerVersion < 6) { oPDFInfoField.value += "ENCODING=PDFDocEncoding" + sCleared + sRadioButtons this.submitForm( sTargetURL, false, // HTML form true, // Post all fields (true), or do Not post all fields (false) null, false, // Use post method (false) false); // For forms, do not submit annotations } else{ oPDFInfoField.value += "ENCODING=UTF-8" + sCleared + sRadioButtons; this.submitForm({cURL: sTargetURL, bEmpty: true, // Post all fields (true), or do Not post all fields (false) cSubmitAs: "HTML", // Post URL-Encoded cCharset: "utf-8"}); }

Daily Problems with Mail Synchronizing with Exchange Server

Our office uses Comcast Business Class Service, which uses 2007 Exchange Servers, for internet access and email. I upgraded my MacPro from 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard 10.6.2, using the Upgrade DVD. The upgrade process kept my original Leopard Mail settings, which were using POP. At that time, I had not problems with email.
Unfortunately, awhile ago my Mail Preferences became corrupt, and I had to delete them. Upon relaunching Mail, the application wanted to use the new Autosync method to connect to the Comcast Exchange Server. Using POP was not an option.
I must say that I am less than impressed with the way Mail integrates with Exchange Servers. I have daily problems, and experience these problems multiple times per day. When they happen, they slow my email communication down to a crawl; sometimes for as much as an hour.
Specifically, the problem appears to be with Mail's ability (or inability) to properly synchronize with Exchange Servers. I get he spinning pizza icons next to the two Exchange email accounts I have in my Mailboxes source column. Opening the Activity window shows that the synchronizing process has slowed everything down. This results in not being able to send or receive email until the synchronizing is complete. And as I said, that can sometimes take as long as an hour.
Stopping the process in the Activity window does not resolve the issue. Nor does quitting and relaunching Mail. Because the next time Mail attempts to connect to the Exchange Server, it will try to synchronize yet again. The problem has become so chronic, that I often have to resort to using Webmail while waiting of the synchronizing process to complete.
Incidentally, the mailboxes that are synchronizing are empty! I am meticulous about keeping my Inbox, Sent, Drafts, and Trash mailboxes empty at all times. I do not use To-Do's, Notes, or Calendars of any kind on the Exchange Server, so there is no data to even sync!
Has anyone else experienced this problem and found a fix? Other email accounts I have, which use POP or IMAP, do not have this issue. There does not appear to be away to abandon the Autosync Mail setup and revert back to POP. If there is, I will do it in a heartbeat.
Thanks.

Found a solution that works for me. Delete the problem account that's using AutoDiscover to sync with the exchange server. Before doing that, however, you will want to clear out the Inbox, Sent and even Trash folder for that account, as deleting it will remove the messages that currently reside in those folders. Just simply move them to another folder. You can move them back after re-creating the account.
The second step is to re-create the account. Do this as you would normally, and enter in your name, username and password. THE TRICK: Press and hold the Option key when you click Continue. After Mail connects to the server and verifies your account information, you will then have a pull down menu that will allow you to choose Exchange Server, IMAP and POP. Simply select POP or IMAP, then fill out the rest of the fields.
Viola! No more problematic Exchange Server syncing issues.

Mail behaves differently on MacBook and iMac (both 10.5.8)

This barely rises to the level of "annoyance," but I thought I'd ask about it. Mail seems to be slightly different on my MacBook and my iMac, both running 10.5.8. When my iMac starts up, mail connects to my server and all is well. But when my MacBook restarts, mail gives me a message that it "Can't verify the identity of cedant2.abac.com" (which is my mail provider). All I have to do is click "Connect" and it works just fine. But I never even get that dialog box on my iMac.
Plus, the showing of that dialog box seems to precipitate the creation of multiple nested (empty) sub-InBoxes in my account. Again, I can delete those pretty easily, but it's so odd...
Anyone have thoughts or suggestions?

in the identity dialog expand the trust settings and there will be an option to set it to always trust that certificate. then it will never ask again.

Mail on Microsoft Exchange Server

It seems as though this topic has been beaten to death. I've read nearly every post about getting Mail to work on Microsoft Exchange servers, but I can't make it work on ours.
I am fully functional on the Exchange server using Entourage. However, I simply cannot figure out how to make Mail work on the Exchange server. It seems like some have had luck using the account type IMAP and some using account type Exchange.
I've entered nearly every possible combination of settings, but have had no luck. Is there at least an explanation as to why Entourage will work but Mail won't? I'd still love to get Mail working...any ideas?
Any help is much appreciated!

Hi pblakes9,
I can try and help, I have 10 Macs running 10.4.8 and 3 running 10.4.10 all using Apple Mail with the Exchange Server and no problems.
I have them all set up the same using the account type "Exchange".
Before Apple added that as an option, we had them set up using IMAP.
However it seams that even the account type called "Exchange" is using a IMAP protocal. (excuse me if that is not the right term) What I am trying to say is that our IT people said that no matter if I use the "Exchange" or "IMAP" account type, the Mac talks to the server using "IMAP".
What this ment to us is IT needed to make sure that "IMAP" was enabled on the server.
If you are using Microsoft Entourage version 11 (from Office 2004). This does not use IMAP. So this would still work on your Mac even if IMAP wasn't enabled on the server. However Microsft Entourage version 10 did use IMAP.

Mail: unable to connect to my SMPT server? Also new Mail Account defaults to iMap and won't let me change to Pop?

Dear All,
I've been with the same UK internet and email provider for years and they've given me solid and reliable service. I've worked my way through the Apple Knowledgebase checklist and tests and proved that my isp/esp is working normally so the problem has to be with Mail.
I fiddled about trying to create a Mail Account on my late 2011 but-new-to-me MacBook Pro a couple of days ago and, it might be completely unrelated and simply a coincidence, but since then none of my devices, Iphone 4S, Powerbook G4, iPhone 3G, the MBPro can send email using Mail.
Whenever I try I get prompted for my password but when I enter it says it's wrong but it definitely isn't because I even changed it this morning through my isp/esp and it worked and I then changed it back again to my correct password and it works also to get into webmail that is, not via Mail.
When I run Mail\Window\Connection Doctor and check the status it shows Mail is unable to connect to server but that it can connect to the internet. I get the following message: Trying to log in to SMPT account failed. Try to verify that username and password are correct.
Now, whenever I try to create a new email account on MacBook Pro Mail keeps defaulting to iMap and wont let me change it to Pop which is what I need.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Dear All,
I'll finish off this thread in case it's of use to anyone else in the future.
I couldn't get the email pop account to recognise my sign-in even though I've been using it continually and without problem for the last several years. It's always been BT and Yahoo so it's more likely to be the fiddle about I did on my temporary, pre migration user account that caused the hiccup.
In th end I had to create another pop account which I was able to once I'd migrated my settings from my PB G4 to the MB Pro. Unfortunately this didn't merge the numerous email folders that I'd created previously in Mail but I still have them on the PB and I believe they can be transferred manually which is what I will do.
Thanks for everyone that took the time to help.

Error in workflow mailer configuration - Inbound Email Server

Hi
I have Windows 2000 SP4.
I have installed Oracle Workflow 2.6.3 Standalone as below
I have installed Oracle Database 10gR1 and Oracle Workflow Server 2.6.3 in same oracle home.
I have installed Apache HTTP Server 9.0.4 and Workflow Middle Tier in the same oracle home.
I have finished installation and configuration successfully.
Now I want to configure mailer parameters.
I have started Workflow Component Container and Workflow Management Container.
When I try to enter paramters for mailer I get error in Inbound EMail Account Server Name.
The error says: Unable to make a network connection.
I do not want to configure Inbound Mail Server but I need to enter these parameters as they are mandatory.
I set Inbound Thread Count = 0 so that configuration does not consider parameters for IMAP server.
My mail server is SMTP server.
Any idea how to overcome this error and continue with notification mailer configuration?
Thanks

You would need to modify all the parameters listed in this script. This script updates each of the mailer and agent listener parameter. You may edit the script to remove all API calls OTHER THAN those for "Workflow Notification Mailer".
Then update ALL the parameters for "Workflow Notification Mailer" with appropriate values with Inbound Thread Count to 0 and Outbound Thread Count to 1. Inbound Server Name, Account, Inbox, Discard and Processed values can be ignored. Make sure Outbound Server Name is valid SMTP Server name.
Values like From, HTML Agent should point appropriately as per your env.
Hope this helps

Newie Mail server and running other services

We have a small office network of 6 macs that connect to a Panther server, this server provides DNS and file sharing and thats about it a Filemaker Sever and Retrospect Server. I doesn't suffer from heavy use
I have been using a a separate mac to run Quickmail server 1 (os9) and I need to upgrade it as some of the mail protocols are out of date.
We have a static IP address assigned to our mail gateway by our service provider.
My question or advice
Should I just start using OS X server to run mail services
or
Upgrade Quickmail and continue running it separately on a new mac mini (or similar)
My concerns are at the moment any problem with email locally can be solved pretty much without effecting the other server or the network.
Thanks

The basic setup is prety simple...
Replace following with your own equivalents...
Domain name: woopee.com (the domain name after the "@" in your emails)
Host name: mail.woopee.com (the hostname your MX record points to. Does not need to match server hostname. This will be the hostname mail server uses when communicating with other servers)
Local Host Aliases: woopee.com (a list of the domains you want to accept mail for. Probably just same as Domain name?)
Local network: 192.168.10.0/24 (LAN IP range for local users. Used to bypass authentication when they send mail out)
Server Admin-> Mail-> General...
Tick:Enable POP
Tick:Enable IMAP
Tick:Enable SMTP, Allow incoming mail, Enter Domain name & Host name (from above).
Mail-> Relay
Tick: Accept SMTP relays... Enter localhost IP: 127.0.0.1/32 and Local network (from above).
Tick: Use these junk mail rejection servers. Add: zen.spamhaus.org
Mail->Filters
Tick: scan for junk mail. Minimum score: 5 (can be reduced later)
Junk mail should be: Delivered (will just tag and forward to recipient)
Tick: Attach subject tag: * Junkmail *
Tick: Scan email for viruses
Infected messages should be: Deleted
Tick: update junk mail & virus database: 1 time per day
Mail->Advanced->Security
SMTP: none (this prevents smtp authentication from anyone outside your Local network)
IMAP: Tick: Clear, Plain, Cram-md5 (or leave all unticked if only using pop accounts)
POP: Tick: APOP
Mail->Advanced->Hosting
Local Host Aliases: Add: localhost & woopee.com (separate entries, see Local host aliases, above)
That's it (I think ...although I cannot guarantee I have not missed something). There will be no problem setting this up and seeing it going whilst still using the existing mail server. Set up client accounts to send and receive from new server and you can send mail around internally to test. Last thing would be to change your firewall port-forwarding for SMTP from existing server to new one.
Watch the mail.log in Console for any errors & do plenty tests.
Ensure users have mail enabled in Workgroup Manager.
There are plenty mods available beyond this. Have a good read through the mail services manual (I know its a bit confusing at times) and you should see where the above settings fit in.
Lots of stuff on the forum here which you can search for. Spam filtering in particular can be made far more effective but requires editing of the underlying unix configuration files - again, plenty of previous discussions about that on forum. Meantime, the zen.spamhaus.org RBL will filter out a great many spammers.

I am unable to send mail on my IPad because the iPad ignores the single correctly configures outgoing server and instead looks for long since deleted outgoing server which is not listed in my settings at all.

Some time ago I used to use an outgoing mail server, which I will call 'XYZ'. However I changed email providers and now have a new outgoing server which I will call 'ABC'. I tried deleting that old outgoing server when I changed email providers but had problems doing so. So what I did was completely delete all email accounts from my iPad and then reinstalled the two new email accounts from scratch, complete with the new outgoing server 'ABC'. That appeared to be successful, and I can receive email OK. Also the new server 'ABC' is the ONLY outgoing server listed in my settings on either account
However despite the new server being the only one in my settings the iPad will not send mail and shows an error message saying that the settings for the OLD server 'XYZ' are incorrect. I cannot amend or delete that server as it has already been deleted and is not listed in my settings.
It is like the iPad is somehow still remembering that old server and thinks it's the primary one. Or it's getting old server info fron iCloud or something.
My iPhone has the same two email accounts and identical settings and does not have this issue.
Any ideas, other than a complete factory reset?
Many thanks
Rob
