Retrieve text entered in web form

Somebody please offer some assistance here.
I've lost some important information entered into a web form and simply using the back button will not retrieve it. I'm hoping it can be retrieved through the cache or form value files somehow but I'm not familiar with these types of files so I'm coming up short.
Any idea how to retrieve it?

What is the unary operator (addition, subtraction, never, etc) on the member that represents your text measure? Is it possible that you're aggregating the numeric data in Essbase that is then referenced to derive the text data (from the Planning repository), and therefore the text measure is returning something at upper levels?
If that isn't helpful, you could potentially mask the cell using a data validation. Create a data validation that always evaluates to true, and black-out the one cell you don't want displayed. Not the best fix, but it will prevent the wierd characters from being displayed.
Hope this helps,

Text invisible when typing in online web forms

Just recently when typing into text fields on web forms, my text is invisible. For example, I had a little trouble registering for this help service as I could not see what I was typing. The cursor is visible and moving, but no text is visible. This does not happen on my other browsers and didn't happen in Firefox until very recently. I notice however that this form I am currently typing in is ok; I guess it has different coding behind it.
Another problem that started around the same time - when I go back to previous page, it doesn't go back to last position but puts me back at the top of the page. Don't know if this is related.

This is more likely a font problem (missing or corrupted) then an encoding issue.
Try to disable the website fonts as a test and try a few different default (serif/sans-serif) fonts.<br />
Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced ([ ] Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above)<br />
If that works then you need to reinstall the corrupted font.

Web Form - Text

Hi,
In my workforce plan type I have an account member set as data type text. In the web form you can type anything to that member and it will store as a number in essbase which is great. In the other plan type for the same application, I just created another member as data type text, but when I try to type text into that member in the web form I am getting an error - invalid value. I can enter numbers just fine, but letters give an error.
The two members have the exact same properties, but one is in workforce and the other is in plan 1, that's the only difference. Anyone know why I can't enter letters into a member with data type text? Is there another setting on the web form that needs to be set?
Thanks,
dq

Hi,
I am not sure where you are going wrong because I can't replicate the issue, maybe it is around the evaluation orde as you need to set it for all the plan types you use.
I created a new account member against plan1 with a data type of text
I created another account member against workforce with a data type of text.
Set the evaluation order for account against plan1
Set the evaluation order for account against workforce
Created a form against plan1 and included the plan1 text account member
Creared a form against workforce and included the workforce text account member.
Both forms I could enter text against.
Cheers

Web Form Cell Text Length

We have web forms in HFM that users will export to Excel and then import back to HFM. We have modified settings in HFM to allow cell text length up to 8000 characters. However, when the users import the form back to HFM the cell text is truncated to only the first 70 characters. It is possible to enter the additional characters directly into HFM, but that defeats the purpose of exporting the forms to Excel. Is there another setting to allow the import to pass all the characters?

As per my knowledge if a cell text is larger then 70 characters in HFM and we export the form in EXCEL it gets truncated. Same is the case when we try uploading data form from EXCEL having cell text lager than 70 characters.
This a bug. Till now i have not received any solution for this.

IOS pdf viewer cannot display text that was entered in acrobat forms???

hi.
i have a blank PDF form. i enter text into this form on my mac, i use the latest adobe acrobat or adobe reader to do this. i email this filled out form to a person. the person uses an iphone or ipad to view his mail. he is a novice user, no extra apps installed. the user opens the attached pdf (default ios pdf reader) and the form is displayed.
but – not a single word i entered into the form is displayed.
it seems that forms that are filled out with acrobat/reader can't be correctly displayed on an iphone/ipad? They show up blank!
I tested this with a few documents, same result.
any help?
Cheers!

The basic readers might not process field forms, just the basic context of the PDF.
It is best to add an app that can process Acrobat PDF forms, not just read them. I would look at PDF Expert since it appears to be the most compatible and runs custom JavaScripts in forms. Another option would be the Adobe Mobile PDF Reader.
Did you create the PDF form?
PDF forms can be created by Acrobat, AcroForms, or using LiveCycle, XML forms. The majority of iOS or android mobile devices cannot process XML forms.
Trying to read PDFs on mobile devices requires testing of the PDF to fix display issues and if you are using forms the JavaScript within forms needs to be tested for compatibility with various app readers to see if the form fields and code even work.

UWL - Retrieve Rejection text entered via UserDecisionNote

Hello SDNers,
I am using task TS20000131 for expense report approval process. I have setup UWL configuration for the same and every thing works fine except the Rejection text.
In UWL configuration I am using UserDecisionNote and DecisionKey for including a mandatory rejection reason / text.
However, I am not able to retrieve the text entered via UWL in the backend ECC system.
I am able to see the text entered via UWL - show memo option in the further steps of the process.
Where does the text entered get stored?
We are on EP 7.01 and ECC 6.0 EHP4.
Can someone help me by guiding me in the right path for this?
Thanks,
Kalyan

Hi Susan,
This was a little tricky.
I was not able to locate the entered text initially.
The text was getting stored as an attachment in the workflow.
The UWL config I have above worked fine.
To locate the text entered via Rejection Reason, please do the following:
1. After you enter the text and perform the appropriate action from UWL, login to your Backend system and go to transaction SWI1.
2. Select your Work Item / Dialog Step by double clicking on it.
3. Click on the "Log" button
4. Click on the "Details" icon for the step where you entered the rejection text.
5. At the bottom, now you should see the details of the selected step. In the details, you should one step with executed action saying "Attachment added". Here if you click on the "Office Document" link from the Object column --- you should see the Rejection text entered via UWL.
Let me know if you are still facing the issue.
Thanks,
Kalyan

BC Web Form check boxes running into text

How to fix alignment of BC web form.
check boxes running into text.
see screen shot

Anything that looks bad on a website can be fixed by CSS? The best bet for you is to edit the markup of that form with the checkboxes and add a class to those checkbox input elements... for instance a class of "form-checkbox" and then in your CSS file, include this CSS code:
.form-checkbox { margin-right: 5px; }
or even:
.form-checkbox { margin-right: 1em; }
That will put a margin to the right of your checkbox input elements either 5px wide or 1em wide (which is essentially one length of your font size).
If you don't know how to add/edit html markup to your form then you could try adding this CSS to your CSS file:
form input[type='checkbox'] { margin-right: 5px; }
or
form input[type='checkbox'] { margin-right: 1em; }
if you want to use EMs instead of pixels. I would highly recommend learning a bit more about CSS and HTML because it would save you time posting to these forums for these simple fixes. CSS styles your webpage's content and every web designer should know CSS and fix this issue pretty quickly. Muse is a good tool but unfortunately it doesn't teach you the underpinnings of the web which you'll need if you want to do any sort of customization outside of what Muse or other WYSIWYG tools.
Good luck. Let me know how it goes.

Web Browser in the output of Report and save the text entered in browser

Hi All,
I am having a requirement that i has to show the web browser in the output of the basic list and i has to save the text entered in the web browser and not the URL.
For example.
if i am displaying the web browser in the basic list of my report.
i am having a field to give the URL and i will the give the URL as WWW.GOOGLE.COM and press enter, then the web page will be loaded in the basic list. i am entering some text in the search area .
let the text may be "SAP-ABAP".
now i has to save the text "SAP-ABAP" in to my database.
So , if you have any suggestions please reply to this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Phani.

Of course there is not going to be any specific example which has been taylored to your exact requirement, which is why you should be looking outside the box. The reason I suggested that program is so that you can see how to allow the user to access a web page and enter a value, and then allow the application server to access this value, which of course can then be stored on the database.
As for you exact requirement, if you are looking to specifically throw a browser with www.google.com in the browswer and have the user enter a value in the search, and then expect that this value be returned to the application which was entered, I don't see a clean/easy way to do this. Why? Because once the user is veiwing google in the browser, it is now out of your control, because that page is not running on your server. Not if google had some API, that would be a different story.

Import external text file into table in database using web form

I whant to import data from text delimited file located in os
into oracle table using web form.
I am using ORACLE DATABASE 8i, APPLICATION SERVER 9i
and ORACLE FORMS DEVELOPER AND FORMS SERVER 6i (Patch 2)
Is there anybody who know how can i do this?
Thank you!

WebUtil uploads the files as Binary - so yes you could have some issues if you have a Unix host - however, that would only mean that there is an extra character to trim off of the end of the line read by Text_io.

On a web form, I used to be able to insert info, hit enter and then Back Page and the cursor would "remember" where I was.

On a web form, I used to be able to enter info. Then when I got the info I needed, I was able to Back Page and the cursor would "remember" where I left it last.
Now, when I Back Page, the cursor goes to the beginning of the form which means that I must replace the cursor at the proper place and enter in new info.
Using FF 4.0 with Vista 64 on my Desk Top.

This is probably due to a problem with an add-on. For details of how to troubleshoot that see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
The AVG Safe Search add-on has caused this problem for some.
