Problem on refreshing with XML Data Connection

Hi all,
I have just created a Xcelcius 2008 interface which is consuming data from XML Data connection that I created using an ASPX web form (webservices). On Xcelsius 2008, I set to refresh the data on every 30 seconds.
And I have found problem that the Xcelsius 2008 refresh XML Data intermittently. It doesn't want to refresh the latest data, and it still shows the previous data. But the strange thing is when I open the web services to check the validity of the data, the xcelsius is able to update and show the data exactly same with the opened data that I checked.
And next, I repeatly refrehsed my browser (F5), oddly, the Xcelsius Flash reload data, and when I stop to refresh it. The Xcelsius stop to refresh the data also.
So what happen to this Xcelsius? Any solutions?
Regards,
Devin Wood

Hi Devin,
I am also facing the same problem, what codes you exactly use to control the cache. I have used the following but getting same old data.
Response.Cache.SetExpires(System.DateTime.Now);
                    Response.CacheControl = "no-cache";
                    Response.AddHeader("Pragma", "no-cache");
                    Response.AddHeader("Pragma", "no-store");
                    Response.AddHeader("cache-control", "no-cache");
                    Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache);
                    Response.Cache.SetNoServerCaching();
Hope to get help from you.

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.

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

XML data connection works in the preview, but not in the final swf

Hello,
I have set-up a dashboard with an XML data connection button to load XML data from an internet source. Everthing works perfect in the preview-swf within Xcelsius 4.5. But pressing the button in the exported swf does not have any effect. The dashboard is busy for 2 seconds, but no data is loaded. What could be the reason?
Thanks.

Yes, the location is registered. The problem also occours when the swf is opened directly on the web server where the xml-source is running.

Hi,
I'm new to Xcelsius

Getting data via "XML Data" connectivity

Hi,
I need to retrieve data in Dashboard Design SP2 from one table stored on a SQL Server 2000. As I need to refresh the data I only have the option to use the "XML Data" connection (we are using BO4.0 Edge and can't use QaaWS).
However, I am completly new in this XML topic... In which way should data be delivered so that I can use it in Dashboard Design (in Data Manager -> "XML Data" I have to input a "XML Data URL"...)?
Thanks!

Hi steve,
Please refer below tutorial. It shows an example to create dashboard with XML file as data source.

XML data connection and XML submit button

Hi Guys,
another one that 'should' be straight forward. I have an xml data connection that is used ot pull in event details (name, location, cost etc) that allows you to select various events, then fill in your contact details and then submit the form. I need to have the form submit with the data that the user entered into the form as well as their selection of event. When I set up the email submit button, the XML file attached to the email is actually the XML file that the form pulls the event details from not the data that the user has entered into the form. Again I reckon this one should be straight forwad to fix, seems like a fairly normal way to operate, but I just cant find a solution. please help

>We are letting user know that u have thrown email to someone and we also let user know how is going to contact them.
This is good, but you cannot stop the email from opening and the user
needing to send it. This is, as I said, fundamental to security and
cannot be switched off.
>I tried using HTTP request but it still opening email option to send mail.
This suggests you did not do it right, because when you use http, no
mail is sent locally. Can you describe what you do?
>
>I want to do the way we do in the html page using javascript to set action event at click event and send data to specified email id.
HTML cannot silently send an email either.
Perhaps you could outline what sort of HTML JavaScript you use, so
that we can suggest an equivalent if there is one.

Xml data connection issue.

Hi all,
I have created an XML data connection in xcelsious that reads data from xml file and creates the stacked bar chart. Also used connection refresh button to refresh the data from xml file.
For using xml data connection we have to give the fix structure of xml file, like we have to add range according to the data source and also have to give the name of range in xml file.
The issue is if data is changed at run time then the xml file structure will not be fixed, in that case bar chart shows only the data of the range given in xml data connection and new data is not shown by the connection.
For example if we want to show the monthly revenue of some areas in stack bar chart, but the number of areas are not fixed. So we canu2019t fix the number of stacks [number of range] in xml data connection. In that case it only shows the no of areas that are fixed in xml data connection.
Is there any way to change the range in xml data connection so new changed data can also be displayed in bar chart or is there some other way so we donu2019t have to fix the structure of xml file?
Thanks in advance.

How to execute the Code-Behind of .aspx linked using XML Data Connection

I have a dashboard with a live XML Data Connection tied to a Default.aspx file. That .aspx file has a Default.aspx.vb code-behind file tied to it with some logic in the Page_Load sub routine. If i open the .aspx on my own in the browser, the code-behind executes properly.
However, when I tie the .aspx to my dashboard and launch it I know for a fact the .aspx is being called (i have a placeholder on the dashboard to let me know if it executed or not) but its code-behind file is not. I can't seem to find a solution through Google, would anyone be able to lead me in the right direction with this? My code is as follows:
Default.aspx
<%@ Page Language="vb" aspcompat="true" Debug="true" validaterequest="false" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeBehind="Default.aspx.vb" Inherits="scheduleAppointment._Default" %>
<%
 'tester to see that script executes, this puts "ScriptExecuted" on a label on my dashboard
 Dim sXML As String
 sXML = "<data><variable name=" + Chr(34) + "Range_0" + Chr(34)
 + "><row><column>ScriptExecuted</column></row></variable></data>"
 Response.Write(sXML)
%>
Default.aspx.vb
Imports Microsoft.Office.Interop
Partial Public Class _Default
 Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
 Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
 (I have code here creating a Microsoft Outlook appointment and saving/scheduling it. This is not being
 executed when running the dashboard itself, but I know the code works if I run the .aspx on my own
 in Internet Explorer browser)
 End Sub
End Class

Easy fix, apparently code-behind doesn't execute in Preview mode. Exported to .swf and ran in the Internet Explorer browser and it worked.

XmlDataProvider .... is gone completely in my Xaml file. Why? How many different ways to deal with xml data source through WPF

I followed a procedure described in a book.
1. insert "Inventory.xml" file to a project "WpfXmlDataBinding" .
2. add the XML data source through the data panel of "blend for 2013", named it "InventoryXmlDataStore" and store it in the current document.
3. dragged and droppped the nodes from the Data panel onto the artboard.
Then I checked my Xaml file against the one provided by the book
Xaml file by the book:
<Window.Resources>
<XmlDataProvider x:Key="InventoryDataSource"
Source="\Inventory.xml"
d:IsDataSource="True"/>

<DataTemplate x:Key="ProductTemplate">
<StackPanel>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding XPath=@ProductID}"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding XPath=Cost}"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding XPath=Description}"/>
<CheckBox IsChecked="{Binding XPath=HotItem}"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding XPath=Name}"/>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</Window.Resources>
<Grid>
<ListBox HorizontalAlignment="Left"
ItemTemplate="{DynamicResource ProductTemplate}"
ItemsSource="{Binding XPath=/Inventory/Product}"
Margin="89,65,0,77" Width="200"/>
</Grid>
my Xaml file:
<Window x:Class="WpfXmlDataBinding.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="MainWindow" Height="922" Width="874">
<Window.Resources>
<DataTemplate x:Key="ProductTemplate">
<StackPanel>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding XPath=@ProductID}"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding XPath=Cost}"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding XPath=Description}"/>
<CheckBox IsChecked="{Binding XPath=HotItem}"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding XPath=Name}"/>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</Window.Resources>
<Grid DataContext="{Binding Source={StaticResource InventoryXmlDataStore}}">
<ListBox HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="370"
ItemTemplate="{DynamicResource ProductTemplate}"
ItemsSource="{Binding XPath=/Inventory/Product}"
Margin="65,55,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="270"/>
</Grid>
</Window>
All looks quite the same except the <XmlDataProvider ....> part under <Window.Resources>, which is gone completely in my Xaml file.
1, Why?
2, How many different ways to deal with xml data source through WPF?
Thanks, guys.
(ps My "WpfXmlDataBinding" runs without problem through.)

Never do yourself down Richard.
Leave that to other people.
It's quite common for smart developers to think they're not as good as they are.
I coach a fair bit and it's a surprisingly common feeling.
And to repeat.
Never use anything ends .. provider. They're for trivial demo apps. Transform xml into objects and use them. Write it back as xml. Preferably, use a database.
You want to read a little mvvm theory first.

Whatever you do, don't read Josh Smiths explanation. I used to recommend it but it confuses the heck out newbies. Leave that until later.

Incorrect MIME type for XML Data Connection POST requests

It appears that Xcelsius 2008u2019s XML Data Connection logic does not specify the correct MIME type for the data it sends to the server in its POST request. Using an HTTP debug proxy, I was able to see that Xcelsius sends XML data in the POST, but is setting a content-type of u201Cx-www-form-urlencodedu201D. According to the W3C spec:
http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#h-17.13.4.1
Data sent with a MIME type of u201Cxxu201D should be encoded as key?value pairs, like this:
key1=val1&key2=val2&Submit=Submit
So, what Xcelsius is doing is clearly incorrect. Worse, if your server process is a Java servlet, you may find that the POSTed data will be gobbled up by the servlet container and you wonu2019t be able to read it using a getInputStream(), or getReader() call because itu2019s already been processed by a call to the getParameter() method.
The correct mime type for POSTing an XML formatted request from Xcelsius should be "text/xml".

Hi,
The Error #2032 your getting is due to the Flash player security.
To remove this this error you need one crossdomain Xml file in the root directory which actually provides a lot more control over who has access to your data from a SWF. The cross domain policy is attached as crossdomain.xml.
In the XML file, it is used a wildcard (*). This allows a SWF located on any machine to access your data source. You can certainly use an IP address or domain name to restrict access rather to opening it up completely. I always start with the wildcard to make sure my dashboard works, then start restricting access as necessary.
Here is a whitepaper with everything you need to know about Flash player security:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/flash_player_9_security.pdf
Please let me know if you need any more clarification.

Report doest get refreshed with updated data

Hi All,
I am facing a strange problem, where my report doest get refreshed with updated data when it’s called second time.
1.     Screen1 – Preview option – Preview Screen
2.     Preview Screen – Print option (Button) – Report generated and displayed in the IE Browser window with a dynamically generated PIN (Query written in WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger)
3.     Screen2 is displayed in the backend
4.     Screen2 – Cancel option – Screen1
5.     Screen1 – Preview option – Preview Screen
6.     Preview Screen – Print option (Button) – Report generated and displayed in the IE Browser window with a same PIN as in step2. Actually here the Query written in WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger generates a new PIN.
7.     When checked in the backend this new PIN is updated, but the same is not displayed on the Report. That means to say that report is not refreshed. When I click on the refresh button in the IE Browser window explicitly, the report is refreshed and displays the PIN as found in the backend.
What I expect is that the report should get refreshed automatically with a new PIN, when I choose Print option in Preview Screen.
Can anybody help me in overcoming this challenge?
Regards,
SAM

Hi All,
What i did was i encoded the PIN and sent it as a paramter to call the report.
In the report i decoded the PIN and printed it. This way my URL to call the report was always updated with the decoded PIN value and would refresh the page successfully, everytime its called.

SAM

Problem in working with Japanese data

Hello,
We have an application, which should work for both English and Japanese languages. Our application is working fine for English data but in case of Japanese, we are facing problems. In the application, there is a language setting, where the user can select either English or Japanese. This changes the language of the labels to English or Japanese. We are handling this thru' ResourceBundles. But the data that is entered can be independent of this. In English setting also, the data entered or diplayed could be Japanese. Now we are facing problems at vaious places -
1. When we enter Japanese data and save it, it gets copied into the bean and if there is any error in the saving, the same data from bean comes back on the screen. This data doesn't appear properly in Japanese.
2. When we try to retrieve the already saved data from database, it doesn't show poperly in Japanese.
We are using our own 'toUnicode' function, which converts the data to Unicode before saving the data to database. Similarly, we have tried different encodings like SJIS / Shift_JIS / ISO-2022-JP at various places i.e. in 'Page' directive or in HTML Meta tag or various combinations of these two. Nothing is working reliably. Sometimes for some combination, data retained in the first case is correct but it can't be saved. Sometimes it works with Unicode, sometimes without Unicode. Some combination affects the Japanese labels as well. Otherwise the labels at least are displayed properly.
The same code with just Shift_JIS setting in 'page' directive, worked well in IIS Server for both English and Japanese.
What could be the problem in WebLogic? Does it matter if WL is installed on English or Japanese machine?
Kindly answer ASAP, since the project is getting delayed.
Thanking in anticipation...
