Merging and archiving InfoPath data

Hello Friends,
I have 2 InfoPath libraries. The first library consists of columns that capture user information like EmpID, designation and project name. Using a data connection I'm populating the above mentioned information on 2nd InfoPath library which is usually used
by clients and assign project work to the employee. Multiple projects are assigned to same employee.
Now I have a requirement, wherein I have to merge the data from the above 2 libraries and archive it in some other location, probably a custom list.
I need to implement a workflow which performs this action and this should run monthly once. Please suggest how can I achieve this.
Thanks

Hi,
Do you have any updates?

Bulk form creation, merge, and retrieve form data

I am new to acrobat, and can't even find a place to start for what I want to accomplish. I have a directory with 1000 single page pdfs (filenames are data_0001.pdf, data_0002.pdf, etc.).
For every single page pdf, I want to embed a form with a radio button list containing several options and a comment text box.
Every page needs a unique form ID that can be related to the original single page pdf filename.
I want to merge all the single page pdf files with the embedded form into a single multi-page pdf.
A user looks through the multi-page pdf and selects from the radio button and adds comments on every page, and saves the pdf.
I then want to export from the saved pdf a three column spreadsheet or csv file with columns
"original pdf filename" "result of radio button list" "comment text box"
I need to do this at least 100 times, so each stage needs to be scripted.
Can anyone point to a link for anything remotely close to the work flow steps needed to accomplish this with acrobat.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

You can use a batch process to add the form fields to each PDF. You should make the field names for each page unique, so that when you combine the individual pages into a single PDF, the form will behave properly. You can base the field names in each PDF on the original file name to achieve this. To add field with a script in a batch sequence, use the doc.addField JavaScript method: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.435.html
You can then combine the single page PDFs with form fields into a single PDF, either using an external script (e.g., VBScript) or a script in Acrobat, but you'd need the list of files to combine, especially if you care about the order of pages. Acrobat also has the "Files > Combine > Merge Files into Single PDF" feature, but I can't say it will work to combine that many forms at once, so you'll just have to see.
As for exporting data, This too can be scripted. I'd suggest that the script can create the data file that gets added to the document as a file attachment (data object), which can then be extracted. Creating a tab separated text file is simpler than ensuring a properly constructed CSV, so that's what I'd be inclined to do. A user is not able to enter a tab character into a form field, so you shouldn't have a problem with this. See the createDataObject documentation for more information: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.450.html
Good luck,
George

Merging randomly-named XML data file on client-side with pdf designed in Livecycle 7.0 (and addition

Okay, as a heads up I work for a financial institution and we are converting our legacy "jetforms" to pdf format. I have in my staff for the project, 2 code developers and myself- a form designer. We have currently spent 2 months in trial and error attempting to resolve this problem, please let us know anything you can have. All client-side (internal) machines are running Windows XP and Adobe Reader 7.0.7
The software we use as a financial institution allows our users to export a customer's data file onto their machine which is then renamed to include the member's account number and first and last name for our staff to determine which data file they need more accurately. In legacy jetforms, we have developed a program that pushes the data from the customers file that they select, into the jetform that they want to open and the matching fields in the data file fill in the fields of the jetform. Clean and simple.
Now, i have hit nothing but frustration when attempting to perform the same process with pdfs using a form designed in livecycle designer 7. First, i see no obvious command for opening a pdf and importing a data file using a command line, like pdfmerge or something of the sort in which an xml data file can be specified and a pdf can be specified. I saw something like it using an fdf format and attempted to do this but apparently reader cannot import the data into the pdf that was designed adobe livecycle 7. All i have been seeing is database connections and using javascript inside the form to populate fields based on these database connections, etc. etc. or doing a manual file>import data>etc. which we don't want to have our staff do. We do not have reader extensions enabled, simply because i cannot get an adobe representative to call me and discuss pricing nor see any estimated pricing chart around. I don't know if reader extensions are necessary for this or not but i'm becoming very very frustrated with it.
We don't want a complex server-side data connection binding with dynamic input. No, we just want it where our developers can say "if this data file is selected, and this pdf form is selected run this command" which would be a simple pdfmerge type solution. Is this possible or do i need to stay with jetforms until our software the billion dollar financial institution uses does form building inside its own application? I don't want to fight about who is better, what version to use, etc. I just want the straight up honest truth. If you need to know the pricing that the reader extensions would have to go by, assume there will be 500 client computers that will need to use it.

From your post it sounds like you are Central Pro (a product for which I am by no means an expert), but you say you want to upgrade to a newer product from your "legacy" one. Is there a reason for this? Have your requirements change so that it no longer fits them? Central is still in the current Adobe roster and as far as I know there is no plans to get rid of it any time soon, so if it does everything you want I don't see why you would want to change.
There is no product in the LiveCycle suite that merges xml data into a form from the command line. LiveCycle (with the exception of Designer) is a suite of server products, so the closest you would come is LiveCycle Forms (merge the xml and create a fillable PDF) or LiveCycle Print (merge the xml and print the form).
Hope this helps somewhat.

Archive - Purge data from F1 and U1 clusters

Hello Experts,
I have been given the task of purging data from the F1 cluster, Remuneration Statement forms, and the U1 cluster, Tax Reporter forms, in PCL4. I was hoping to accomplish this by using an archive function to delete the data but not store the archived files. I have not been successful in finding much information about purging from these clusters. I am looking for any advice anyone can provide or a direction to take to reduce this data. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Martin,
which would help keep everything intact
I don't know what that means. The whole purpose of archiving is to remove data from the 'ready' database and place it somewhere else. Leaving it intact means not archiving at all.
In the archiving process, data is selected and copied into some sort of storage medium that typically has a lower state of availability than un-archived data. The business decides what level of availability is acceptable, and the archiving policy (e.g., how long should the data remain archived before it is finally physically deleted forever).
So 'intact' is a bit vague. All the bits of data that the business decide are important are replicated 100% in the archive medium, validated, and then the source records that were archived are physically deleted from the ready database. Functionally, all archived data is intact, it just may be in another format.
I have never heard of a major ERP system that did not offer archiving in some form. There are also many third party vendors who offer archiving for the major ERP packages.
Level of success is hard to predict. There are tools available as standard in SAP that monitor critical factors: memory access, disk access, response times, etc etc etc. Here too there are third party tools that measure critical factors. You can run these before and after the archiving process to measure what success you have had.
I have never seen anyone who will stand up and say "if you archive x million records from your ready database, you will see a performance increase of y percent." There are too many variables. As they say in the MPG ads, "Your results may vary". You usually can get some qualitative numbers by testing your archiving process in a test or dev system.

Filter Data with Merged and non merged columns in one

Hi there,
I have an excel spreadsheet that has got merged and non merged columns. What I want to be able to do is, filter a row that has got merged column and non merged columns. But when I filter it only takes the first line, rather than the merged and non merged
columns.
With this data I have one merged column which spans 6 rows, and then in the same row I have 6 rows with different points in, and what I want to do is filter my list, but be able to see the merged coloum aswell as the 6 points.
Any ideas are much appriciated.
Cheers
SAN

You cannot filter across a row - so I have assumed that what you mean is that some cells in columns are merged to serve as the headers, and the data is in the came columns but in the row(s) below the header. If this is incorrect, ignore this post.
For this example, I have assumed E to J are the column of data and merged cells, column K is free, and the first merged header is in row 1:
In K1, enter
=E1
in K2, enter
=IF(COUNTA(E2:J2)=1,E2,K1)
and copy down. Then filter based on column K, and it will show the headers and the data for the selected header value.

Appraoch for archiving table data from a oracledb and load in archiv server

Hi,
I've a requirement where I need to archive and purge old data in datawarehouse.
The archival strategy will select data from a list of tables and load into files.
I also need to use sql loader control files to load data from the above files into archival server.
I want to know which is the better approach to load data into files.
Should I use utl_file or spool table data into file using select stmts.
I also have some clob columns in some tables.

I've doing something like this a couple of months ago. After some performance tests: the fastest way is to create files through UTL_FILE used in procedure with BULK SQL. Another good idea is to create files with Python which operates on text files blazingly. (Use PL/SQL if you need to create that files on server, but if you have to create files on remote machine use something else (Python?))

HELP I am doing a Data Merge and It is only giving me one record per page!

I really need help here. I am doing a data merge and have selected the options for doing multiple records per page but instead it is merging everything to it's own page. Can someone tell me what I am missing?

Why do you say you can't do a multiple record merge to a table?
I've never had any trouble putting placeholders into a table. It's the way I do most of the datamerge that I work with.
My mistake… I was confused with the script, and I must confess I had never tried (until now) to use tables as placeholders, but it works.
My apologies for this uncorrect answer

Javascript: Data Merge and More..

I am new to scripting so I need some basic pointers:
We have a j2ee app that runs on a MySQL database and produces 50 or so variables that we are now planning to output into a csv. That csv will be data-merged with an Indesign template (one row creating one page) with the intent to produce 10,000 or so variable PDF pages for printing.
I am told that 10,000 is a big number so we will need to batch it using a script into 200-500 or so.
So can anyone point me to resources (javascript) to
1. Select a template file (.indd), a data source (.csv) and perform the data merge in increments and go back and do it again and output numerous PDF binders that we can then bind together.
I think if we can do this much then we can tackle other scripts like varying the font size if the name is too long for the text field etc later.
Appreciate any assistance. This is my first time even thinking about scripting.
Thanks!

@PocoLoco – I'm not using CSV files for data merge very much.
Instead I use tab delimited txt files encoded with Unicode (UTF-16) out of my TextEdit app on OSX 10.6.8. That is working very well for all the special cases (Chinese, umlauts, composite characters in file names etc.pp.)…
Don't know about Illustrator in this case.
I'm always using InDesign for data merge.

Merge multiple source table dates and to one target table

Thanks, Lei

Thanks Karen,
that was exactly what i was hoping for.
Maybe it could be made easier/less confusing if the Mapping Workbench just made you choose a target table. But maybe this is not usefull if the table contains two foreign keys to the same table. Or maybe this should just be put somewhere in the documentation.
Regards,
Robert
Hi Donald,
fortunately i'm my own DBA so i don't have any problems ;-). However i'm certainly interested in the reasons for not having such a conditional foreign key.
However actually the foreign key isn't conditional, the condition is that either the field (using the FK) must be filled, or a free-format field. The reasoning for this is that we have a list of known towns and if the addres is local a town from that list must be chosen. If the addres is outside the country a town can just be typed in (no list).
Concerning the agrregate, all fields are always used. There are no neediness flags anywhere. The aggregate contains three fields which are mapping as direct (two fields) or a One-to-one (the FK). All 'parents' all contains these three fields.
Regards,
Robert

How to add infopath data to word doc

hi
I create a form in infopath. I want to combine the information in this form, in strategic places in a Word document. My intention is similar to a mail merge but from infopath software. In Mail Merge I create a lot of files at once. Here I want the
end user fills out the form and receive a letter. All details already filled in the right places.
In software info path field can be set to be equal to other fields, but there is no option like in Word design. And that makes it as a link and not as part of the text.
Would appreciate help
Thanks in advance
