Newbie - Creating a data connection

I imported a Adobe Acrobat pdf into Live Cycle Designer and created a data connection. I connected the fields in my XML sample document to the fields on the pdf but the data does not show in PDF Preview. Have I missed a step? I have used Acrobat 6.0 and 7.0 in the past but now am working on a project which needs Live Cycle Designer.

In that case there is probably something wrong with you bindings on the fields. If you have the fields set to normal binding then the nodes in the data file need to be in the same hierarchy as the fields in the form are. If they are not the you need to explicitly bind fields to nodes in the data.
The easiest way to see what you should use for explicit bindings would be to create a data connection to your xml data file, then drag a node from the data view onto the form and see what Designer puts in there for the binding.

How to create a data connection with dynamic XML file?

Thanks for all reply first!
I have formatted the submitted data into an XML file on the server side,this file can be import to PDF form correctly.
I try to send this XML file to the user to let him can review what he has submitted.
I guess that I should create a data connection to the XML file so that it can be reviewed by the user.
But the question is that the XML file is dynamic generated.
How can i do?
give me some clus or examples,please.
thanks,
Jasper.

Hi Jasper,
To show user back the result, you can use PDF instead of XML. You can store the PDF template in server and you can merge XML data with PDF template by Livecycle Form Data Integration service.
We, as KGC, can generate huge number of Adobe Livecycle forms in small periods. Also we give consultancy on Adobe Livecycle ES products and Adobe Livecyle Designer. In case of any need, do not hesitate to contact us.

Proble while creating new Data Connection for the Webservice

Hai All,
when creating a new Data Conneciotn for the Webservice in the interactive form i got the following errror
Cannot choose this operation:
- there is no associated SOAP Binding
edit -> new Data Connection -> WSDL -> i entered the wsdl url -> i got the methods in that webservice
but when i select one of the method in the methods list i got above error
i developed a webservice in NWDS and deployed the WAS ( created a webservice for the session bean)
please help me to solve the problem
Thanks in advance
Siva Sankar N

Problem was solved,
Downloading the WSDLs:
Download the 3 WSDL files from the WAS using the WS-navigator tool:
Go to http://<was-host>:50000/wsnavigator/enterwsdl.html
Select your WS
Click in the menu WSDLs
Download the default SAP WSDL
You will have 3 WSDL files in the downloaded zip files.
1) main.wsdl
2)config1_XXXXVi_document.wsdl
3_configl_document.wsdl
Perform the follwing task to the above wsdl files, and use this wsdl files to the datasource
1. Copy/paste the <wsdl:service> XML element from the main.wsdl to the Config1_SDN_adobeWSVi_document.wsdl.
2. Copy the <wsdl:binding> XML element from the Config1_document.wsdl to the Config1_SDN_adobeWSVi_document.wsdl.
3. Add the SOAP namespace (xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/") from the main.wsdl to the Config1_SDN_adobeWSVi_document.wsdl.
4. Adjust the namespace reference by replacing prt0 and bns0 with tns.

How can I create a data connection without ODBC (directly with OLE DB)

If connecting to an OLE DB data source, which is not defined as ODBC, the well known error message appears in Acrobat, that the environment is not trusted. The Designer Help says, that the document must be certified in Acrobat to run OLE DB without ODBC. So I certified the document in Acrobat allowing dynamic content for it. But the error message always appears. So I have some questions to this:
How is the correct certification process in Acrobat to define a trusted environment for using OLE DB without ODBC?
Why generates using of ODBC an trusted environment? With using ODBC data sources can be changed external from Acrobat, so I must think, ODBC is absolutely insecure.
Why is OLE DB without ODBC insecure? Here I have a defined connection string, which cannot be changed at runtime (if the form developer this doesn't want).
And why is the first record displayed instead of the error message, if using OLE DB without ODBC, but navigation is impossible?
This seems all very mysterious to me.
Does anyone in the world has ever created an OLE DB data connection (without ODBC) with Designer and Acrobat, which runs in a trusted environment?
Thanks for your answers.

For the Projects, the trick will be the Asset files. If they will fit onto DVD DL discs, you're OK. If they are too large (DV-AVI is ~ 13GB per hour), then you'll need some type of backup, or spanning software, that will write files across multiple discs. A better choice, IMO, would be a 1 - 2 TB external, where you can use Project Manager, or just Windows Explorer and Copy, to do the entire Project folder with Assets. I'd recommend against a USB and go at least for FW-400. FW-800 would be better, but you'll need FW-800 connections on your computer. eSATA would be the best, but then you'll need eSATA connectors.
Good luck,

Problem while creating Data connection In ABAP......

Hi Experts,
I am tryning to create a adobe form in which i need to create a data connection using a WSDL file. But i am coing across the problem as cannot find the path of th url.
i tried to create the WSDL in 2 ways and i came across the same error.:
1) using the URL of the WSDL file generated
2)alos saved the file as WSDL file on desktop, and used to create
in both cases i am coming across the same error.
Note: i am not creating using webdynpro, i am doing using ABAP.

Hi Deepthi,
Also check the error message(long text) and paste it here...
check if you are either creating a "second" Delta DTP ( if an existing Delta DTP exists, then system will not allow you create a second DTP) and will throw an "overlapping" error
Hope this helps
Thanks

Can't Create a Data Source - Failed to test connection. [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied

Hi there,
I am having a serious issue with The Power BI Data Management Gateway which I am hoping that someone can help me with.
Basically I am setting a connection between a Power BI demo site and a SQL 2012 Database based on Azure. The Data Management Gateway and is up and running, and Power BI has managed to connect to it successfuly.
By following the tutorials at
here I was able to successful create my Data Connection Gateway with a self-signed certificate.
However, when trying to create the data source I come into problems. The Data Source Manager manages to successfully resolve the hostname, as per the screenshot below:
Bear in mind that I exposed the require ports in Azure as endpoints and I managed to modify my hosts file on my local machine so I could access the SQL server hosted in Azure using its internal name -- otherwise I would not be able to get this far.
However the creation of the data source also fails when trying to created it whilst logged in the SQL server in question:
The Data Source Manager returns the error when using the Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server:
Failed to test connection. [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied
I tried using the SQL Server Native Client 11.0 instead but I also get an error. This time the error is:
Failed to test connection. Login timeout expiredA network-related or instance-specific error has occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. Server is not found or not accessible. Check if instance name is correct and if SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. For more information see SQL Server Books Online.Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server [53].
Some considerations
If I provide an invalid username/password, the Data Source Manager does say that the username and password is incorrect.
Firewall is turned off in the SQL Server (either way, this error also happens if I try top use the Data Source Manager whilst logged in the SQL Server itself).
SQL Profiler does not show any attempt of connection.
The SQL server instance in question is the default one.
The error happens regardless if I select the option to encrypt connection or not.
In SQL Configuration manager I can see that all protocols are enabled (TCP/IP, Named Pipes and Shared Memory.
The Event Viewer does not provide any further errors than the one I have copied in this post.
I'm at a loss here. Could someone please advise what might I be doing wrong?
Regards,
P.

Here is what I had to do to solve this issue:
Basically I had to add the MSSQL TCP/IP port as an end-point in Azure. After I did that, then I was able to create the data-source. However, I was only able to authenticate with a SQL account, as any domain account would return me an error saying that the
domain isn't trusted.
What puzzles me here is how come the Data Source Manager would inform me that an account username/password was invalid, but it would fail/timeout if I provided valid credentials (!?!?!!?)

How to create Data Connection in PDF forms??

Hi Rohit
are you working with interactive forms inside Web Dynpro? If so, Web Dynpro will create the data connection for you. The only thning you have to do is setting the "data sorurce" and "pdf source" in the properties tab of the interactive forms layout element. See for example here: Web Dynpro Java Tutorials and Samples NW 2004 [original link is broken]#50 [original link is broken] or other tutotials on web Dynpro and interactive forms : Web Dynpro Java Tutorials and Samples NW 2004 [original link is broken]
If you don't work with Web Dynpro, you can create a data connection as follows:
1. Open your *xdp-Template (Doubleclick: Lifecycle Designer is starting
2.Click on File-> New Data Connection.
3, Create the data Connection with the wizard, Your source can be
a) XML Schema
b) OLEDB Database
c) WSDL file
Hope this helps. Please reward points if helpful
Kind regards

PDF form with XML data connection comes up blank at run time

Hello All,
I am a newbie to ADOBE Livecycle 9, but am very proficient in C#. I would like to request for your guidance on the following issue.
We have a desktop application in C#, WPF, Sqlserver. The requirement is to launch a Livecycle form from the application for the user to read/edit/save data
I have done this much so far -
Downloaded trial version of Livecycle 9
Developed a interactive PDf form
Created an XML based data connection. Generated fields on the form using the fields from this connection.
Set the .XML file as preview source for the form
the controls on the form are boumd to the xml data source
In design mode, the form works fine, it displays my data correctly
I have created a WPF form with a button. On click of this button, I call the Process.Start(pdf-file-path). My pdf is launched properly
I have added a combo box to my WPF form. I select a parameter from this, then call a stored procedure which returns me a datatable depending on parameter passed
Using the returned datatable, I have used the datatable.writexml and datatable.writexmlschema to create my XML and XSD files. as mentioned above, this xsd is used to create the data connection for the PDF and the XML for the preview source
This is what I want to do -
Launch the PDF from my WPF form, pre-populated with the newly created XML data from my WPF form.
So basically, as the user changes the selection criteria from the combo box, the XML file data will change and the PDF file will be launched each time with new data.
The XSD format will always be constant
Problem -
My XML and XSD get created properly, my PDF launches, but it is empty
If I change my selection criteria and run the WPF application, and then open the PDF in design mode, it asks me whether it should refresh the XML source. This means that the PDF form is connecting correctly to the XML source
So why then, does the form come up empty at run time?
What link am I missing?
I have found some sites that help using Web applications, but nothing for desktop applications. It would be fantastic if you could point me to some help for developing Livecycle forms with C# / SQLServer
Your help in this case will be highly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards

Oops, something happended with the above post. I will try again... I have tried your suggestion but I still get the same garbled XML (with data repeated and some values "cut in half". Here is what I get after decode-service and extract-to-XML-service. This is just the first barcode, the others are similar, sorry for the poor formatting, but I get a CDATA tage infront of the "istensen" value. CDATA:istensen</fld_ForMellemEfterNavn ><fld_VejNRpostByEnLinie >Superroad 99, 1330 Supertown</fld_VejNRpostByEnLinie ><fld_PrivatTelefonnummer >20724283</fld_PrivatTelefonnummer ></sub_Person ></sub_PktA ><fld_BlanketNr >kb0371ff</fld_BlanketNr ><fld_BarcodeCount /></form1 >/sub_Adresse ><sub_Person ><fld_ForMellemEfterNavn>Kim Christensen</fld_ForMellemEfterNavn ><fld_VejNRpostByEnLinie > Superroad 99, 1330 Supertown </fld_VejNRpostByEnLinie ><fld_PrivatTelefonnummer >20724283</fld_PrivatTelefonnummer ></sub_Person ></sub_PktA ><fld_BlanketNr >kb0371ff</fld_BlanketNr ><fld_BarcodeCount /></form1 Obviously this is not a legal xml-string, so I can do nothing about it. I have tried using a custom .NET component (ClearImage) for reading the same form (with the barcode) I get the correct data out from the barcodes. So I guess something is wrong with the decode-service in Barcoded Forms ES when I use compressed XML. But I can conclude since the ClearImage component can read the barcodes that they are compressed correctly. Can you help me with getting further with this problem? Sincerely Kim

Issue with Custom data parameter in Excel Data Connection

Hello,
We are querying a OLAP (SSAS 2008) cube using Excel 2007 by creating a data connection to SSAS server with an extended parameter “Custom Data”. We are using custom data parameter to apply our application’s user security to filter dimension
members in Excel’s pivot table report. We have created a pivot table in Excel and the excel is including this custom data parameter along with each request that excel is submitting to SSAS.
However, when the user selects “Show Properties in Report” option for a dimension which is selected in Row-axis of pivot table, Excel is not including custom data parameter . Why this “Custom Data” parameter is not being included in
the request only for this specific case?
1. The Request which sent from Excel to SSAS when user clicks on “Show Properties in Report” option
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"><soap:Header><Session xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-analysis" SessionId="AE6B294B-4983-4010-BC5F-E0896A49ECD9"/></soap:Header><soap:Body><Discover
xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-analysis"><RequestType>DISCOVER_LITERALS</RequestType><Restrictions/><Properties><PropertyList><Content>SchemaData</Content><Format>Tabular</Format></PropertyList></Properties></Discover></soap:Body></soap:Envelope>
2. The sample Request which sent from Excel to SSAS for all other requests
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"><soap:Header><Session xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-analysis" SessionId="74165AD6-C240-4634-92A1-61A400A3FC97"/></soap:Header><soap:Body><Discover
xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-analysis"><RequestType>MDSCHEMA_CUBES</RequestType><Restrictions><RestrictionList><CUBE_NAME>RepCube</CUBE_NAME></RestrictionList></Restrictions><Properties><PropertyList><Catalog>QAV10_12thMay2010</Catalog><Timeout>5000</Timeout><SafetyOptions>2</SafetyOptions><MdxMissingMemberMode>Error</MdxMissingMemberMode><LocaleIdentifier>1033</LocaleIdentifier><DbpropMsmdMDXCompatibility>1</DbpropMsmdMDXCompatibility><CustomData>xxxxxx</CustomData></PropertyList></Properties></Discover></soap:Body></soap:Envelope>
As the Custom Data parameter is missing in 1st request our application logic is throwing a custom exception to Excel and Excel is not able to understand the exception message. Excel is sending the same request repeatedly (going into infinite loop) and the excel
window is freezed. Not able to work with excel until restarting the Excel.
Can anyone help me to resolve the above? quick help is much appriciated!
Thanks,
Venkat

Venkat,
We have a very similar issue, but there is almost no material to help us. If this gets to you, please let me know if you progressed it or whether I need to go to Microsoft for a solution

Problem with data connection in adobe forms using wsdl file....

Hi Experts,
I am tryning to create a adobe form in which i need to create a data connection using a WSDL file. But i am coing across the problem as cannot find the path of th url.

@ankur17
Won't insult you by suggesting that you haven't already checked Settings > mobile network > Data connection = On, as you have confirmed already that Internet Sharing is working.
You may need to go to Settings > about > reset your phone and see if by setting up phone afresh it reads settings and applies correctly from SIM card.
Is Network Setup application included or available from Marketplace > Nokia Collection as might be worth running this application too?
If this issue still remains you may need to have device software re-installed at Nokia Care Point to try to resolve this.

Running out of data connections

Problem Statement:
Running out of data connections after some time and
the following SQLException is thrown:
"failed to create a data connection with any of the
specified drivers"
Problem Description:
I have an application that is running under iPlanet
6.0 on solaris using Oracle 8 and type 2 Oracle
driver.
The application is using a number of stateless
session beans.
Normally, my servlets instantiate the remote beans in
order to make access to their interfaces. For
example, I have a servlet that fetches all of
the accounts for a given customer. First, The servlet
does the fetch by calling JNDI to lookup the "home"
interface, then does a "create" call on the home
interface to get the "remote" interface
(see snippets of code below, the ejbCreate()).
Second, the servlet calls up a specific method that
extracts the customer's accounts (see snippets of
code below, the method getAccountList()).
At first all seem to work well, however after some
random time my beans start to throw the SQLException
"failed to create a data connection with any of the
specified drivers"
At first I thought that I am not closing the
connections, but all of of my connections,
statements, and result sets, are closed
and even set to null in a finally block as you can
see in the snippets of code below.
If I restart iAS, all of the connections get released
and things look normal again till the problem
re-occurs.
Initially, we had this problem on SP2, so we upgraded
to SP3 thinking that this may solve the problem,
however the problem remained on SP3.
Another thing, this same application works perfectly
well on my laptop which has similar iPlanet
configurations except that operating system is
Windows 2000 Advanced Server, and Oracle 8.0.4.0.0.
System Configuration:
Following is my system configuration and related
iPlanet 6.0 settings.
-1- iPlanet 6.0 SP3
-2- Type 2 Oracle driver
-3- SunOs, sparc SUNW, Ultra-250, solaris 5.8
-4- Oracle 8.1.6.0.0 64-bit Production
-5- Following are the entry settings in the iPlanet
registry under
Software\iPlanet\Application Server\6.0\CCS0\DAE2\ORACLE_OCI
- CacheCleanInterval = 120
- CacheConnTimeOut = 120
- CacheDebugMsgs = 0

- RSBufferInitRows = 25
- RSBufferMaxBufferSize = 6553600
- RSBufferMaxRows = 100
- RSBufferMaxSize = 32768
- SQLDebugMsgs = 0
Snippets of Code:
The following snippets of code come from a stateless
session bean and consist of a local data member, the
ejbCreate() method, and a typical rmi method that
does the database connection and extraction of
related records.
javax.sql.DataSource dataSourceObj = null;
public void ejbCreate()
throws java.rmi.RemoteException, javax.ejb.CreateException
javax.naming.Context ctx = null;
// Ensure first that the _props have been

catch (Exception ex){
 ex.printStackTrace();
if (dataSourceObj == null)
throw new javax.ejb.CreateException("Couldn't get DataSource object from environment");

I've experienced similar problems. Unfortunately, all efforts by iPlanet
technical support to resolve the issue have failed. (They do keep calling
and asking if they can close the ticket for some reason)
One thing that's totally anoying is the ksvradmin monitory crashes when I
try to have it report any connection pool information. They verified it's a
bug in SP3 but won't say if it's fixed in SP4 or provide an estimate.
To date here's what I've tried (by tech support's recomendation):
1) Configure for global transactions. (even thow I'm not using them)
(Failed)
2) Switch to using 3rd party driver (We were previously using native)
(Failed)
3) Ran report on oracle showing number of connections used during iplanet's
failed attempt. Report from Oracle shows 2 connections open, but iPlanet is
configured for 120.
4) Increased the connection pool size. (I didn't know why based on the
above info) (Increased to 300) (Failed)
Well there's my history. We crash after about 3 days of heavy usage. I'm
about to give up and just reset my servers each night. Will help me with
logfile rotation of the kjs files as well.

Problem Statement:
Running out of data connections after some time and
the following SQLException is thrown:
"failed to create a data connection with any of the
specified drivers"
Problem Description:
I have an application that is running under iPlanet
6.0 on solaris using Oracle 8 and type 2 Oracle
driver.
The application is using a number of stateless
session beans.
Normally, my servlets instantiate the remote beans in
order to make access to their interfaces. For
example, I have a servlet that fetches all of
the accounts for a given customer. First, The servlet
does the fetch by calling JNDI to lookup the "home"
interface, then does a "create" call on the home
interface to get the "remote" interface
(see snippets of code below, the ejbCreate()).
Second, the servlet calls up a specific method that
extracts the customer's accounts (see snippets of
code below, the method getAccountList()).
At first all seem to work well, however after some
random time my beans start to throw the SQLException
"failed to create a data connection with any of the
specified drivers"
At first I thought that I am not closing the
connections, but all of of my connections,
statements, and result sets, are closed
and even set to null in a finally block as you can
see in the snippets of code below.
If I restart iAS, all of the connections get released
and things look normal again till the problem
re-occurs.
Initially, we had this problem on SP2, so we upgraded
to SP3 thinking that this may solve the problem,
however the problem remained on SP3.
Another thing, this same application works perfectly
well on my laptop which has similar iPlanet
configurations except that operating system is
Windows 2000 Advanced Server, and Oracle 8.0.4.0.0.
System Configuration:
Following is my system configuration and related
iPlanet 6.0 settings.
-1- iPlanet 6.0 SP3
-2- Type 2 Oracle driver
-3- SunOs, sparc SUNW, Ultra-250, solaris 5.8
-4- Oracle 8.1.6.0.0 64-bit Production
-5- Following are the entry settings in the iPlanet
registry under
Software\iPlanet\Application Server\6.0\CCS0\DAE2\ORACLE_OCI
- CacheCleanInterval = 120
- CacheConnTimeOut = 120
- CacheDebugMsgs = 0
- CacheFreeSlots = 16
- CacheInitSlots = 64
- CacheMaxConn = 64
- CachMaxGlobalConn = 128
- ConnGiveUpTime = 60

- RSBufferInitRows = 25
- RSBufferMaxBufferSize = 6553600
- RSBufferMaxRows = 100
- RSBufferMaxSize = 32768
- SQLDebugMsgs = 0
Snippets of Code:
The following snippets of code come from a stateless
session bean and consist of a local data member, the
ejbCreate() method, and a typical rmi method that
does the database connection and extraction of
related records.
javax.sql.DataSource dataSourceObj = null;

javax.naming.Context ctx = null;

catch (Exception ex){
ex.printStackTrace();

} else {

New Data Connection with incoming XSLT. Should DataView show the structure?

When I Create New Data Connection with an XML file and an incoming XSLT transformation, the Data View doesn't show the resulting structure..just the original XML file structure. This makes it hard to bind xml elements in the transformation to a PDF form. It the XSLT only applied at "runtime"? If so, how to map elements? Thanks.

I would suggest to create a receive data connection(secondary) to get data from your checklist
Use this data connection to connect to your checklist and get all the fields that are required.
Create a button in your form and add rules to assign and submit data to the list, after user clicks the button
Add a rule to set values to source list with fields from Receive Data connection
Submit the data to the list
Close the form
Hope this helps!

Yes! This is fantastic, I'll try this. Quick question, would it be possible to send the data to a different list rather than the source?
My reasoning is this: The secondary data connection list is intended to be sort of a blank slate, where the actual project requirements are listed and can be modified or edited as needed. I'd like to keep that as the constant starting point.
So could I possibly have the form submit the actual data to a separate list to maintain that?

Data Connection Question

Is it possible to connect fields (ddLists) in a LC form with a Lotus Notes database?

If you Lotus Notes database is an OLE-compliant database you can create a data connection from a form to the database.
