Question on forms property

I'm trying to upgrade from forms 4.5 to 9i. We have properties of buttons with background color of white. I want to change it to gray. Can we do this without opening a form, in a batch. Because we have 500 forms.
Can any one help me please. Or is there a script to do this. Very urgent please.
Thanks in advance.

If I were you, I'd create a templete Form with a Visual Attribute of your desired button. Then I would actually open all the 500 Forms and implement this.
Lots of work, I know! But next time you want to change the color, or if you'd to change back the color to white, there's only ONE place to do the change.
For all new Forms implementation I'd definitely use visual attribute to customize all objects (items, buttons, prompts etc).

LineSeries form property missing in 2.01

I just "upgraded" flex builder to 2.01 from 2.0. It looks
like the LineSeries class no longer contains the 'form' property.
Has it been renamed?

The answer to my own question is that 'form' is now a style.
It can be set by:
myLineSeries.setStyle("form", myForm);

How to map a custom enum list to a custom form property in an extended incident class

Hi,
I'm struggeling to understand how to map a custom enum list to a custom form property in an extended incident class.
Here's what i want to have happen:
I am going to publish a request offering on my SMPortal for allowing users to submit basic IT incidents. I want the form to include "Whom does this problem affect" (answers(This is the custom enum list): Me, Multiple Users, Whole department or Whole
company), "What is the problem about", "Description" and "Attachments".
Here's what i've done:
In the authoring tool i created a MP for the custom enum list and put only the list in it. I sealed the MP and imported it.
I created another unsealed MP called TST.Incident.Library for storing incident library customizations and extended the incident class to add an extension class i called ClassExtension_Affected scope with a custom property i called AffectedScope. Then i am trying
to set the datatype of this property to "list". In the "select a list" dialog i cannot chose my previously sealed MP with the custom enum list in it. Why?
- Do i need to scratch the sealed MP and put the custom enum list in the latter TST.Incident.Library MP instead?
- If so, can i do that and keep this MP unsealed, or will i get an error on import saying "Unsealed management packs should not contain type definitions"
- Should i create one sealed MP for both the custom enum list and the extension class + custom property?

Hi,
Authoring Tool simply isn't informed about your list. Open the sealed management pack where you define the root of the list in the Authoring Tool and in the same time open TST.Incident.Library. You will have two opened MPs in the Authoring
Tool and be able to add a custom list for your custom field.
Cheers,
Marat

so, it is the bug of forms 6i .
Is there any other way to access this property ?
Thank You,

FORM PROPERTY CHANGES

In forms 6i,
Property of field in forms changes automatically. This
happens even when the property of field is set by property class
and also for other items.
I am unable to understand the problem in this. Has anyone faced
problem like this. Please reply us back on this.

We converted forms 4.5 version to forms 6i. A new width need
to be changed from varchar2(5) to varchar2(12). I made the
change in the form by setting the form property width to 12.
When i rechecked the field after some time, the width changed
back to the 5. Another major problem is database Yes/No
property for fields also changes drastically. Certain control
fields are set to database yes automatically. It would be of
great help if you can help us in sorting out this problem.

Forms property 'Maximum Query Time'

Running Forms 6.0
I would like to use the forms property
'Maximum Query Time'
It doesn't seem to work.
Do I have to make some kind of setup on the server?
What unit is 'Maximum Query Time' - seconds?
- Flemming
null

Hello pradeepantony,
According to the help file, that property is:
Provides the option to abort a query when the elapsed time of the query (in seconds) exceeds the value of this property.
How you would use it would be if you did not want your user to sit and wait a significant amount of time while a query executes. Some processes can take a fair amount of time on a busy database. Setting this property will assure your user will not wait any longer than the number of seconds you set in this property.
I have a couple of stored procedures that take "many minutes" to execute. If a user had issued a query against a table that one of my stored procedures had locked and I had set this parameter, the screen would abort the query and not wait for my stored procedure to complete. Otherwise, the user would have to wait until the database freed up the table before completing the query.
Hope this helps,
Don.

Follow-up question about forms and SharePoint Online

I asked a question about life after InfoPath earlier, and got a good answer:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/fb23b3d9-8a09-4267-aab5-09929f6a3082/life-after-infopath-seeking-advice
After looking at all of the limitations of SharePoint Online, I'm wondering how developers are dealing with the limitations. Lets say you are asked to develop something that has complex logic, including fetching data from external web services, dynamically
displaying parts of a process to people depending on role, and ending up with a printable document. In our on-premises environment, InfoPath is well suited to this task, with some code behind for some things. Or, if not using InfoPath, we would use application
pages and workflow.
Neither of those are available in SharePoint Online, so what would you do?

Some things, such as the conditional display of content, can be done via JavaScript. More advanced items, such as integrating external web services would likely require a SharePoint "app". A SharePoint app is essentially a link to a separate site
that is running an asp.net web app (or PHP, or whatever). This asp.net site can do anything it needs with any web services, or conditional formatting, or anything. Because it's registered as a SharePoint app, it can also call back into the SharePoint site
and work with data. So, a SharePoint App could present the user with a robust form that simply sends the data back to a SharePoint list. The SharePoint app can also be surfaced on the SharePoint site itself in an iframe, so the user won't know that the form
is hosted by another server.
By the way, the ideas behind the app model permeate the entire SharePoint environment: instead of having the SharePoint server itself run all kinds of custom business logic, that workload is handled by other servers, so the SharePoint servers can be focused
on running the core bits of SharePoint. InfoPath puts a large load on the servers, so it's out. XSLT list views also put a load on the server, so they're also out. SSRS is an amazingly fantastic tool, but is not supported in the cloud (and there's no
alternative). Timer jobs, event handlers, workflow, and many other things have been re-architected to take the load off the SharePoint servers.

New user with several questions on forms and useage.

Once a user fills out a form, is there a way to make the data in the text fields un-editable?
While I'm here, on the same form there are several fields that are required to be filled out. Is it possible to prevent the user from being able to save the form before they fill out the required fields?
I have an Excel file that when opened asks the user for certain data and automatically puts the entered data into the required cells using VB. Is it possible to do the same in Adobe?
Been using Acrobat for years, but my company only uses it for simple pdf creation and maybe putting stamps on customer supplied files, so these probably seem like simple questions.
By the way this is on Acrobat 8 Pro.
Thanks for any help!

Once a user fills out a form, is there a way to make the data in the text fields un-editable?
Yes. The best is by using a digital signature. Second best is by using a script to set the fields as read-only at some point.
Is it possible to prevent the user from being able to save the form before they fill out the required fields?
No. You can set fields as required but that only applies when the file is submitted. You can display an error message when the file is being saved if some of the required scripts are not filled-in (using a script), but you can't prevent someone from saving the file.
I have an Excel file that when opened asks the user for certain data and automatically puts the entered data into the required cells using VB. Is it possible to do the same in Adobe?
Yes, that's possible. Again, using a script.
By the way this is on Acrobat 8 Pro.
This is quite an old version, not compatible with any current operating system. You should consider upgrading...

Questions about forms users once the form is completed

I am on a Macintosh platform, OX 10.5 (Leopard), using Adobe Acrobat Professional that came with CS3 (version 8 I believe - I am not in front of that computer at the moment). I have creted a few forms in LifeCycle, but now my boss wants this to be completely Mac so Monday I need to start creating them in a Mac. I know the basics of how to create a form from a pdf file.
Here are my questions:
1 - Acrobat 8 is so old I can't find any help information in the Adobe help section. Everything that says version 8 takes me to X or XI when I click on the link. Does anyone know where I might find some help with this version?
2 - How do I create a form that the person using can save with the data, the completed fields, so they can open it again and look at what they filled in?
3 - As a corrollary to number 2, how can we also get the data?
4 - We want to take a booklet that has been paper up to now, create a pdf, and then number them to sell for one use only. Is there any way to make a form one-time-use only, so it can't be passed on to someone else to also complete?
I appreciate any help I can get. Thank you.

2. You need to apply the Extended Reader Rights. In version 8 I believe it was under the Advanced menu.
3. The users can submit the file back to you in various formats, such as PDF (the entire file), FDF, XML, etc.
You can add a submit button to the file that will help them do that, or they can just do it themselves.
4. Impossible, unless you use some kind of DRM technology, but those are extremely expensive.

Question regarding forms in Flex 3

Hello,
I currently have a Word form document that is filled out and then converted to HTML and displayed on several monitors at various workstations throught my office.
I would like to use Flex 3 to customize this process a little. I want to be able to create a Flex application that a manger can use to fill in the various forms, using combo boxes, etc, then export it to the workstation monitors for employees to view. The information must be locked at the workstation - employees can not have the ability to change the information.
Can I do this with Flex or is it better to jsut stick with the Word document? There will not be a need for any database interaction (unless it is required to disable functionality on the workstation monitors).
I hope I explained what I need clearly enough!
Thanks for any help!

People viewing the data would access the Flex app via a URL, and the manager could use the "admin" section of the app to enter the data.
You would need something on the back end to store the data entered by the manager.
You could use AMFPHP to implement a "push" technology to update viewers screens with new data automagically.

Question about 'READBYME' property

We are using XMLForm and we've a problem with portal behaviour.
We want to create a ListShow form which displays only unreaded items in a folder.
Our problem is the following:
- When we use km navigation with a LayoutSet (ConsumerList) readbyme property is not activated until you open the file.
- However, when we have a km navigation iview using RenderListItem, every items are marked as readed when displayed (we display only property id of items). How can I avoid this?.
Thanks in advance.
Damiá

Thanks for your comments,
but our problem is not filtering content but reading xml documents in a folder using ListShow or RenderListItem because readbyme property is set to true when you are only displaying visiblename or id property of items.
--> Is there any possibility for reading file properties using XMLForm throw ListShow or RenderListItem keeping readbyme property false until you access to Show form???.
Correct behaviour of readbyme property in EP is very useful for our pourpose.
Any suggestion?

Webdynpro for ABAP - Interactive Form property 'Enabled'

Hi All,
I have developed a webdynpro and created a Interactiveform in main view. In Property if i check Enabled the form is not displaying in the output. If I uncheck it 'The form is not interactive (means user input not allowed)'. How can i make the form interactive and display in the output. Hope you guys understood my issue. Please lemme know if you need any further information.
Also Please guide me how can I pass values from attributes of different nodes to 'pdfsource' attribute.
Thanks in advance.
GG
Edited by: GGS on Apr 25, 2010 3:39 PM

Hi Phani,
Thanks for the info.
I am able to see if it is not interactive.
Displaytype is native only.
Let me explain you the issue in detail:
Currently Client is calling ZFORM thro Java. They have some issues with JAVA so they want to use Webdynpro to call that ZFORM and the form is ABAP Dic based.
For Templete source I gave ZFORM name, and it automatically created a 'NODE' wrt the context in the ZFORM.
Now I have to pass data from difft node attributes to that 'NODE'.
Thanks in advance,
GG

Questions on Forms 6i

Hi All,
My company needs to install Oracle forms. I am a DBA, so I have no experience with forms. I was hoping someone could answer come questions for me.
We are running Oracle 8i, so from what it looks like, I'm looking at Forms 6i?
I downloaded some Client Install instructions for Forms. They seem pretty straight forward.
However, since we will want to be sharing these forms and have everyone in the comany use them, I assume I need to install some server component. I have no clue where to look. I was told that I need to install iAS? I have no clue on what that is.
So, I'm looking for someone to help me out with what I'll need so the developers can work on their stuff, and then the users can use the forms, etc.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Arthur

We are running Oracle 8i, so from what it looks like, I'm looking at Forms 6i?Forms 10g runs fine against Oracle 8i (I just checked out several of my forms). Forms 9 and 10 are web-based only, while Forms 6i can be run either in client/server mode, or web mode. Although I prefer the client/server mode, Oracle has terminated support for it, so you should be installing 10g.
When you use web forms, the client install is not necessary, since web forms run via a browser session. The only thing the client needs is a browser plugin, Jinitiator, which when setup correctly, will download and self-install the first time the user accesses web forms. And it is web forms that requires that you install iAS.

Html:select doesnt set the form property if there is no option tag

Hello,
I have a select box that I am dynamically populating through ajax.
I have it populated in the create screen. I save the form elements saved. I am able to get the data on a detail screen when i do a bean:write
But when i try to see the selected element on the edit screen. The bean doesnt get populated
Here is my code:
     <tr>
<td >Region:</td>
     <td>                              <html:select name="matterCreateForm" property="region" styleId="regionListBox">
     </html:select>
     </td>
     </tr>
Can somebody help me with this. If i do an alert of region in javascript it is empty though the form element has a value.
If I remove the entire select code and use a html:hidden fot the property. It alerts me with the value.
Your help is appreciated!
Thanks

After your SQL SELECT on CO_EditForm.cfm, you need a
<CFIF> that checks to see if any records were retrieved. See

A simple question about Calculation property

Hello friends at www.oracle.com ,
I tried to create a summary column that sums data from another block, but it has failed - Oracle showed the FRM-30377 error, and it was needed to create a non-database item at the block to be summarized.
This situation has raised one question: if you can't summarize data that comes from another block, why can you choose the block to be summarized at "Summarized block" at Calculation property?
Thanks, and best regards,
Franklin Goncalves Jr.

You can summarize data that comes from another block. But the calculated item must be in a block that has its Single Record property set to Yes.
So you can create the calculated item in a control block, set Single Record to Yes for the control block, and use the calculated item to display a sum of data from another block.
