Need Advice:  Propogating form data

I'm just starting with Application Express and can make a data entry form based on a table. Now I need to put together a series of forms based on many tables. The need is for a clinical trial in which each subject has a unique study number. The study number is in every table as the primary key. My concern is that the data entry person must enter this number in every form. They can cut and paste of course, but is there a better way? I was wondering if it was possible to make the study number entered in the first form to propagate to all the others. Is this achievable, or might there be a better way? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, Vern
I would suggest using a hidden field (perhaps in the "After Header" region) to hold the ID. All other fields that need to use this number can than have the field name as it's Default Value. You would have to make these fields either read-only or hidden to stop the users editing them.
Another method would be to have a Global Item, compute its value when the page is loaded and use this as the Default Value for the other fields. This method would be preferable if the value needs to be used on more than one page.

  • Need advice about migrating data

    I just bought my daughter a new MacBook. She launched the Migration Assistant tool to transfer her data from her iMAC. Both computers are running Leopard, and the iMAC is just 1 year old. The problem is that she set up the transfer to go through our home wireless network, which is only wireless G, and the computers indicate the transfer will take 18 hours.
    My question is this: Can I just click off the transfer and start another transfer approach that will be faster? For example, when she first started working with the iMAC, we migrated about 25 GB of data from a Windows machine using an external hard drive that was the back-up drive for the Windows machine. This transfer occurred very quickly, well under an hour. Is it possible to transfer the data directly from the Time Machine external drive, which had been attached to the iMAC, to to the MacBook using the USB ports (there is no Firewire port on the MacBook, believe it or not)? I should be able to just copy the data files and paste them into the new MacBook, just as I did when I transferred her data from the Windows maching to the iMAC.
    Any comments or suggestions would be much appreciated.
    Thanks,

    seeker,
    This KB article has some suggestions for migrating data for the new MacBooks.
    [http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1291]
    Also, an ethernet cable between the 2 Mac should work great for you. The info below might be helpful as well.
    You shouldn't have a problem re-trying the migration again. If Migration Assistant detects duplicate user accounts it will give you the option to overwrite them with the new copies or rename them.
    *Using Time Machine Before Initial Launch of New Mac*
    Before starting the new Mac for the first time, attach the hard disk that contains the Time Machine backups from the old Mac. (For Time Capsule/AirDisk users: If you will be attempting this wirelessly, ensure that you are in range of your Airport wireless device. Alternatively, for faster migration of large quantities of data, connect your Mac via ethernet to your wireless device.)
    Procedure:
    Startup the new Mac and begin the setup process. You will initially see the video introduction.
    At “Welcome” select your country and then preferred keyboard.
    At “Do You Already Own a Mac?” you are asked “Would you like to transfer your information?”
    +from another Mac+
    +from another volume on this Mac+
    +from a Time Machine backup+
    +Do not transfer my information now+
    Select “from a Time Machine backup” and click “Continue”.
    At “Select a Backup Volume” choose your Time Machine backup disk and click “Continue”. (If you are attempting the migration wirelessly, then click “Join...” and select your network first.)
    At “Transfer Your Information” check all the categories you wish to migrate over. If you wish your Mac to be in the same state as your last backup, then check everything. If, however, you are only interested in transferring one user account, then click the little disclosure triangle next to "Users". A list of all the previous users will appear. Just uncheck the user accounts you do NOT wish to migrate over. In other words, have only the desired account checked.
    Give the installer time to calculate sizes.
    Once that is complete, the “Transfer” button will become active and you can click it.
    After the migration, verify the registration information, click “Connect” and you are done.
    Once the migration is complete use Disk Utility to repair any permissions issues.
    *Using Time Machine After Initial Launch of New Mac*
    If you happened to initially set up the new Mac using a different username than the username on the account you wish to migrate, then skip to “Attach the hard disk containing...”.
    If, on the other hand, it is the same username as the account you wish to migrate over, then do the following:
    Go to System Preferences --> Accounts.
    You may need to unlock the lock in the lower left to make changes.
    Below the pane on the left click "+" and create a brand new Administrator User account on the Mac with a completely unique name - not the name of your own User account.
    Now logout of the account you are currently in and log back in using the new Admin account you just created.
    Attach the hard disk containing the previous Macs' Time Machine backups to the new computer. (For Time Capsule/AirDisk users migration will be much faster if you connect your Mac directly to the router via ethernet.)
    Now go to Applications --> Utilities --> and launch Migration Assistant.
    At the welcome dialogue click "Continue." You may be required to enter your Admin password.
    For Migration Method chose "From a Time Machine backup or other disk". (Do not choose…
    "Full System Restore" unless it is exactly the same Mac you are restoring to.)
    At “Select the System to Transfer” choose the hard disk containing the previous Time Machine backups and click “Continue”. Give Migration Assistant some time as it connects to the drive and scans the disk for eligible data to migrate.
    At “Select User Accounts to Transfer” put a check beside each account you would like migrate over to the new Mac.
    At “Select the Items to Transfer” you can choose to migrate “Applications” over. If an application already resides on your new Mac, only the newest version will be transferred. Additionally, other “Files and Folders” that resided at the top level of your old Mac can be transferred at this point as well. Files from the “Library” folder of your old Mac will always be transferred over unless you uncheck the other two options.
    Click “Continue”.
    At “Select Computer Settings to Transfer” choose which settings you would prefer transferring to the new Mac. If you want a completely fresh system to start with, then do not check any of these options. This can be helpful if your previous system was experiencing issues.
    Click “Transfer”.
    If you have already created a User Account on the new Mac and it happens to be named the same as the User Account that is being migrated then Migration Assistant will report,
    +"There is an existing user account with the same name as an account you are transferring."+
    At that point, you will be able to choose one of the following:
    +• Rename the user account you are transferring+
    +• Replace the existing user account with the one you're transferring+
    +• Do not transfer this user account+
    If you wish the new Mac environment to be exactly the same as your old Mac, then avoid selecting “Rename the user account...”. Rather, select “Replace the existing user account...”. It will not be deleted but saved in a new folder labeled “Deleted Users” found in the main Users folder. Click “Next”.
    At this point the transfer will begin with a bar displaying the progress. Once completed click “Quit”.
    *Full Backup After Migration to New Mac*
    Bear in mind that in all cases Time Machine will not continue to backup the previous Macs’ backup sets but will perform a new full backup. This is normal. Time Machine will resume incremental backups after the full backup has completed. To view previous backups, Control-click or right-click the Time Machine icon in your Dock or Option-click the Time Machine menu extra and Choose "Browse Other Time Machine Disks," then select the previous Mac’s backup set. You will enter Time Machine and be able to browse your previous back ups and restore files. [http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1338]

  • Need advice for form deployment

    We are using approx. 500 forms in an LC Update1 environment. This forms have been deployed under the resource tab in workbench and used by a formportal, built by the customer. We are going to move to ES3 and my question is where should we put the forms (+fragments and schemas)?
    Should we stay with resources (and have to import them with adminui) or create an application and put them there (is it ok to have this amount of files in an application?) or could we use the filesystem? Any pros and cons are appreciated.
    Thanks
    Tommy

    In an upgrade scenario, it is better that one continues with the existing approach of deploying forms (Resources or Application).
    If you change the approach, then you  may have to change all the places (portals, processes etc) which were referring to these forms.

  • Need Advice Scenario Uploading Data R3/Non R3 to BW

    Hi Expert,
    I am looking for good scenario uploading Data R3/Non R3 to BW, Any suggestion is highly appreciated would be thankful for all.
    supriatna

    Hi Supriatna,
    you may start to wonder why there is no answer to your topic. Apart from the reporting side, Uploading data from R3 or non R3 to BW is what BW is designed for, so it's like asking for a good scenario for doing a calculation with a pocket calculator.
    You could use ANY business content scenario. Maybe you would like to elaborate more on your requirements.

  • Send form data from Coldfusion to ASP

    I need to send form data from CF to ASP.
    I submit a CF page and validate it on my end with another CF
    page, which then needs to post the results to an asp page on
    another site. The post has to be sent via SSL and I don't need to
    and cannot receive any status message back from the remote ASP
    site. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I was thinking
    some type of cfhttp, but I am not very familiar with its usage.
    Thanks!

    It doesn't matter what type of page you are sending to as
    long as it can handle the data that is sent. Either a form or
    cfhttp will work.

  • Managing Form Data XML files emailed

    I am exploring the use of the Email Submit button in a PDF Form. We need to collect form data sent in by many users. The one thing that seems like a challenge is that when people email their data back, then XML file containing their data will always have the same file name. I like the "Merge Data Filed into SpreadSheet" functionality, but what I'm sruggling with is how to best manage all of the xml data files, as they are emailed in, since the attachments will all have the same filename.
    Am I missing something, or will it just be necessary for the person managing the email box to extract each attachment & give it a unique name? I saw that someone has asked at one point is there was a way to have a unique filename for the attachment generated each time a user clicked the Email submit button, but it looked like the answer was No.
    Any suggestions for best practices when collecting emailed form data & collecting it all into and XLS or CSV?
    Thanks in advance!

    "Am I missing something, or will it just be necessary for the person managing the email box to extract each attachment & give it a unique name?"
    Yes. When they are detached from the email they should be given a unique name and that way you can build a dataset from the responses.

  • I am thinking of buying a iPad but my main desktop machine uses Windows 7 and MS Office.  How easy or difficult is it to transfer data files between the iPad and Windows?  Are there obvious problems or the need for some form of conversion programs?

    Many thanks for any advice.

    You don't need conversion programs, iTunes can copy most of your content over to the iPad via the file sharing section, and some apps also support Dropbox, email attachments, transfer via your wifi network. There are a number of apps that you can get that support Microsoft office file (microsoft don't make an app versions of their software) e.g. from Apple there are Pages (word support), Numbers (excel) and Keynote (powerpoint), and from third-parties there are apps such as Documents To Go and QuickOffice HD

  • Need help in getting process form data

    Hi,
    We have one IT resource type definition say SSH. We have number of IT resources-abc,xyz of same type-SSH .
    When user gets provisioned to this resource, then in the resource profile, we can see resource name as SSH. In the process form of SSH we can see the IT resource name -abc,xyz
    Now the requirement is I need this IT resource name from process forom of SSH. I have written one java code which sends out an email to application owner when this SSH resource is revoked. But I need to show the IT resource name-abc,xyz in the email to application owners.
    Can anybody help to get the process form data?
    Thanks,
    Kalpana.

    yes, add new attribute to the process form and populate using adapter find below code
    public long getITResource(String itResource) {
              long returnValue = 0;
              String methodName = "getITResource";
              try {

                   if (resultSet.getRowCount() <= 0) {
                        logger.error(className, methodName,
                                  "Following IT Resource not fetched:" + map);
                        throw new Exception("IT Resource not fetched");
                   resultSet.goToRow(0);
                   logger.info(className, methodName, "ITResource determined.");
                   // Got the result
                   returnValue = resultSet.getLongValue("IT Resources.Key");
                   tcITResourceIntf.close();
                   ops.closeUtilityObject();
                   return returnValue;
              } catch (Exception e) {
                   logger.error(className, methodName, e.getMessage());
                   return returnValue;
    pass itResource name as literal in adapter. If it is 10g use tcUtilityFactory instead of Platforml.getService

  • Need advice on on a Mac Pro 1,1 Media Center

    I currently have a 2009 Mac Mini running as my home media center, but I recently came by a FREE Mac Pro 1,1 and have decided to repurpose it as my media center so I can migrate my Mac Mini to my bedroom TV where it will live an easy life doing nothing but run Plex Home Theater, Netflix, and EyeTV. This machine falling into my lap was also quite timely because my 4-bay Drobo is running low on available expansion and another Drobo isn't in the budget at the moment.
    This vintage mac pro is running Lion 10.7.5, has 1 old and crusty 500GB hardrive, dual x5160 processors, 4GB RAM (one stick i'm pretty sure is toast judging by the red light and the kernel panics), and the standard NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT 256MB graphics card. It will be used primarily for the following: network storage for iphoto and itunes libraries, streaming video, Plex Media Server & Plex Home Theater, and Handbrake encoding. I also have a goal of safety of data for my movies, photos and music as this machine will supplement my current Drobo storage.
    My plans are for a 128GB SSD boot drive installed in one of the PCIe slots and then to load up all 4 of the 3.5" drive bays with WD Green hard drives. I have also ordered 4GB of replacement RAM, so upon removal of the faulty unit I will have 7GB.
    Here is where I need advice because I am not very familiar with RAID and the differences between hardware or software raid. Am I better off getting four drives of the same size and setting them up as RAID 5 (I think) using Apple's RAID utility or should I throw in three 1TB drives and then install a fourth 3TB or 4TB drive as a Time Machine backup for the other three?
    Should I upgrade the OSX to the technically unsupported latest version? Or is it not worth the trouble for this application?
    Also, is there any benefit to upgrading the graphics card to the ATI Radeon 5770? Would this yield an improved image quality? I am outputting to a Denon AV Reciever and subsequently to a 100" projection screen, if that makes a difference. I also noticed the 5770 has an HDMI port, wich would be nice, but not necessary since I can use a DVI converter and woud still need to use the optical audio out anyway.
    Much obliged for any input

    My plans are for a 128GB SSD boot drive installed in one of the PCIe slots and then to load up all 4 of the 3.5" drive bays with WD Green hard drives. I have also ordered 4GB of replacement RAM, so upon removal of the faulty unit I will have 7GB.
    PCIe cards that use or support SSD are not bootable until you get to 2008 (and that is limited too).
    Green are not suited for any form of array unless say NAS and WD RED.  Better option would be 3 x 2TB WD Blacks in a mirror, and too many people only use two drives, well 3 is much easier safer and works better. Might want to invest in www.SoftRAID.com product even.
    Best price and quality, got my 1,1 with 8 x 2GB (ideal is 4 or 8 DIMMs)
    2x2GB FBDIMM DDR2 667MHz @ $25
    http://www.amazon.com/BUFFERED-PC2-5300-FB-DIMM-APPLE-Memory/dp/B002ORUUAC/
    With price of 250GB SSD $155 I'd go with that or stick with $89 for 128GB .

  • Send form. data from standalone pdf to LC Forms

    Hello,
    I am new in Adobe LC ES platform and would like to ask for advice with following.
    I need to provide user with a standalone pdf form, user should then be able to fill the form and send it to LiveCycle Forms server.
    I originally thought that easiest way to implement it is via SOAP, but I have not been able to make some working HelloWorld example. I have red some articles that suggests some workarounds (pdf form -> webserver -> SOAP to LC server; or to use coldFusion).
    Is there any tutorial or example which would describe posting of form to LiveCycle forms, when not using LC Workspace (not over mail or watched folders) ? Or what way would you suggest to deal with this ?
    Do I need reader-enable form to make SOAP call to store form data by Reader?
    Thanks.

    It looks, that using web services may be after all most suitable for task needs.
    Perhaps last problem I have is to properly bind pdf form  to a process variable.
    I need to send pdf form to some livecycle process, which would store form entries to database. I am trying it in this way:
    - as a process start poin is defined [Set Value] service with execute action.
    - there is defined input, process, required variable "form" of type xfaForm with associated template-url pointing to mentioned .pdf form
    - in [Set Value] service it is only asserted some parts of "form" variable to another process variables
    tests:
    If I run process via wokbench (right-click on swim line + ivoke process), it returns job-id and values are stored in db (internal adobe table created for this process). But if I send (soaps) directly the pdf form and sniff the response packet, there is :
    <faultstring>
    The input BLOB object should have attachmentID, remoteURL, or binaryData field specified.
    </faultstring>
    ... and nothing is stored to db.
    Am I doing wrong mapping (wrong variable type? wrong assertion? ) or is this way bad completely.
    I have searched some article about the process side of WS binding, but haven't found nothing for LC 8.2.
    Thanks for advice.

  • PMW - Payment Advice - Sapscript Form

    Hi.
    I need help understanding and seting up payment advice for ACH and wire transfer using PMW.
    Can someone tell me where and how I need to set up/program to create payment advice after creating either ACH or
    wire transfer?  If possible, I want to use sapscript form (modified version of F110_IN_AVIS form) and email the form to the vendors.
    I can create payment advice using F110 w/ variant for checks using classic program, but can't figure out how to do that using PMW.
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    John

    Hi,
    You need to assign the form for Payment Advice in the FBZP t-code under Form data for Payment methods in Company Code. For PMW you use PMW Workbench and the Std. SAP program it uses for Payment Advice is RFFOAVIS_FPAYM. You need to set the print variant for this program to generate the Payment Advice and also this Variant has to be used in F110 printout/ data medium.
    Let me know if you need any more help.
    Thanks,

    Sunil,
    <u><b>Resstructuring Infocube</b></u>.
    With this function, you can fill an InfoCube with requests that have already been loaded into a BW, or into another InfoCube. You can, therefore, create a new InfoCube in BW, and use data that has already been loaded successfully into the PSA or into the IDOCs to fill the new InfoCube.
    In the InfoCube tree, choose the InfoCube that you want to fill > right click > Administrate.
    Choose Reconstruct > Selection, and, using the selection options, determine the requests that you want to use to reconstruct the InfoCube.
    Select the corresponding requests from the list, and choose Reconstruct.
    <b>NOTE:</b>
    This function is particularly useful, if you are loading deltas, that is, data that you cannot request again from the source system.
    Let me know if you need any further clarifications.
