Save a field content to the DB (customization)

Helllo,
I have a requirement to add a textarea to an existing page and save its content to the DB.
I am familiar with customizing/changing the query where-clause in the CO and personalizing pages. But didn't work on a scenario that involves saving (insert) new form fields to DB.
Can anyone provide me directions on how to do so?
thanks

Hi,
Is the page you are customizing a create page
are the fields in this page have a VO and do you need to insert the new data into the table refering to the same VO ?
if the new fields data needs to be inserted in the same VO (EO based ) (same base table on which the EO is referring to)
then just create a new field using personalization and set the view attribute as appropriate, no coding is required in this case
Thanks
Ravi

Email Submit: Field Contents as the Subject of the Email?

Hi All,
I've built a .pdf form using Live Cycle Designer. I want the user to be able to press a button on the form to send the form (as a .pdf attachment) to a predetermined email address and cc.
In addition, the subject of the email should be a concatenation of a) predetermined text that will remain static, and b) the contents of a field on the form (entitled "Project").
Lastly, I'd love to have a predetermined message body automatically applied to each such email.
I'm able to have the user press the button which sends the saved form as a pdf attachment to a predetermined address.
I'm NOT able, however, to achieve the following:
a) I don't know how to get it to cc the predetermined email address.
b) I don't know how to get field contents into the subject of email, nor concantanate the field contents and the static text.
c) Don't know how to set forth a predetermined message body.
I don't know anything about javascript or xml.
Can you help?
Thanks!
John

Hi Chris!
Thanks much! Now I only need the button to automatically cc a predetermined email address. My fully functioning code is below. What do I need to add? Thanks!
J
var concatenation = Picture.rawValue + ' - ' + Artist.rawValue + ' - ' + DealType.rawValue;
event.target.submitForm({cURL:"mailto:[email protected]?subject=DEAL ORDER: " + concatenation + "&body=Click on send in order to submit your Deal Order Form.\nIf you experience any technical difficulties, please call Neil at x5175.",cSubmitAs:"PDF",cCharset:"utf-8"});

Text field contents overlap the static text below.

hi all,
I have got a problem with the size of a text field in my form. In the form, below the text field, i have got a static text. The height of the text field varies dynamically depending on the size of the string coming from the backend.
Now, as the size of the text field increases, its text is overlapping the static text below. i dont wat this to happen. how can i dynamically change the position of the static text depending on the size of the text field above.
regards
Shyam.

hi,
with regard to your problem please go through the following link where I have provided the solution similar to your problem.
Re: Display more lines of table than size of current page
Try out this and let me know if you still have problems.

How can I add form field value to the file name in save as dialog box

I do not want the form to be saved automatically, just want the form to auto populate the "file name" only.
A little background on the forms I want to use: My company has 70 retail outlets, I'll use one of our pdf forms called an "Incident Report" as an example. I would like for a store manager to be able to complete the form, then email the form to the main office (I already have javascript to add field values and form name to the email subject line), once the main office receives it, I want for them to be able to file the pdf electronically on our server. We have mutliple forms that we use so I do not want any of the forms to automatically save anywhere, (at this time anyway) I just want the office personnel to be able to click "save as" (or whatever they will need to click) and the form automatically add certain field values from the pdf they have received, of which will be different each time the form is sent to the office (Date, store #, employee name etc.) in addition to the name of the form in the "File name" of the "Save As" dialog box. The main office employees will decide into which server file the pdf should be saved.
I'm using Acrobat 8 professional, the stores and office personnel use Adobe reader.
One little note: We currently print and file a lot of paper on a daily bases, as soon as I can get this to work, we are going green.
Me and a lot of trees in this will really apprecitate any help you can give with this! :-)

You might want to take a look at the document "Developing Acrobat Applications Using JavaScript" (js_developer_guide.pdf) which is part of the Adobe Acrobat SDK, which can be downloaded here. Read the "Privileged versus non-privileged context" (p. 45ff.). You will find an example for "Executing privileged methods in a non-privileged context". Should be almost exactly what you are looking for.
Small Outline: For security reasons ("the user always has to know what's going on") you are not allowed to use the "Doc.saveAs"-method without the user permission (--> in a non-privileged context). In order to reach the goal of a privileged context you can use a trusted function. You do this by creating a JavaScript file (*.js) in either the Application-JavaScript-Folder (default location on Windows systems: "%ProgramFiles%\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat\Javascripts") or the User-JavaScript-Folder (default location on Windows systems: "%AppData%\Adobe\Acrobat\10.0\JavaScripts"). Add the following content to the new file:
myTrustedBrowseForDoc = app.trustedFunction( function ( oArgs ) {
     app.beginPriv();
          var myTrustedRetn = app.browseForDoc( oArgs );
     app.endPriv();
     return myTrustedRetn;
myTrustedSaveAs = app.trustedFunction( function ( doc, oArgs ) {
     app.beginPriv();
          var myTrustedRetn = doc.saveAs( oArgs );
     app.endPriv();
     return myTrustedRetn;
The developer guide actually wants you to add this content to the existing "config.js" file. I recommend creating a new file, since its easier to deploy in a network. Either way, every client/user who needs to be able to save documents this way, needs this JavaScript Code in his Application/User-JavaScript-Folder.
Within the Acrobat Document, which you want to obtain a certain file name, you can now use the trusted functions "myTrustedBrowseForDoc" and "myTrustedSaveAs" to store the file. To call the trusted functions and deliver the file name you can either you use a form field (button) or you add a new menu item. Add the following JavaScript Action to the button/menu item and change "Roller Coaster" to the name of the field which contains the value which you want to become the new file name:
var fileName = this.getField("Roller Coaster").valueAsString;
try {
     var oRetn = myTrustedBrowseForDoc({bSave: true, cFilenameInit: fileName + ".pdf"});
     try {
          myTrustedSaveAs(this, { cPath: oRetn.cPath, cFS:oRetn.cFS });
     catch(e) {
          console.println("Save not allowed, perhaps readonly.");
catch(e) {
console.println("User cancelled Save As dialog box");
Good Luck!

To capture the selected rows along with edited field contents in alv report

Dear All,
         I do have requirement where, in alv report output one field is editable and need to save the content of the edited field along with the selected rows.
         For example If there are 10 records displayed in the alv output with 20 fields.
Out of this 20 fields one field (say XYZ) is editable. Also i have already created a new pushbutton (say ABC) on alv output. Now in the alv output if we maintain some value in the field (XYZ ) for the 2nd and 4th record and select this two records, and when clicked on the pushbutton (ABC) it has to update the DB table.
      I am using the Func Module 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'.
      Your early reply with sample code would be appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.

HI Naveen ,
There is an import parameter "i_callback_program" in the function module,
plz pass the program name to it.
Capture the command by passing a field of type sy-ucomm to "I_CALLBACK_USER_COMMAND ". Check the returned command and
and program a functionality as desired.
u can try the event double_click or at line selection. there u can use READLINE command to c if the line has been selected.
In case it is , process the code segment.

Error in sharepoint 2010 designer while saving:"Content in the embedded form may be changed by the the server to remove unsafe content.Do you want to reload your page to see the results of the save? "

Hi,
I am doing development in sharepoint 2010 and facing this very weird problem.
If I create a site page with the sharepoint look and feel for that site and try to save the site page,i am getting this error:**"Content in the embedded form may be changed by the the server to remove unsafe content.Do you want to reload your page to see
the results of the save? "** and when i say reload,the server removes some parts of my page, e.g onclick event of html,asp buttons.
This error just comes for any sharepoint site page,e.g i took a copy of 'How To Read Library' page just edited the text part of taht page,and when i try to save this error again comes up.
However,if i create a simple aspx page with only htmltags like head body,then thr is no problem ,everything works great. But sharepoint look and feel pages are giving troubles while saving.
has anybody seen this earlier,what could be the reason for this?
Thanks

I think the excerpt and link below is the why, but the page talks about server code and not javascript. I guessing that this is why blank pages work, but not wiki pages. Can anyone verify this?
The following are general rules for using server-side code on a site page.
If the page is uncustomized, server-side code is supported on the page.
If the page is customized, server-side code does not run, and the page does not render. This includes the code-behind for the page itself.

How to read the source file and copy the entire content to the target Database field

Hi All,
PI system extracts the actual business content from the incoming attachment file and copy the entire format to the target Database field which is a blob data type field.
Sender Adapter: SOAP
Receiver Adapter: JDBC
JDBC Structure
Can we achived the above requirement by using UDF with out Java Mapping?
Thanks,
Mahi.

Ok, in this case yo can use the conten converion of the file adapter. Therefore you first need to create a Datatype in ESR with the required structure
Then in your file adapter you need to use this datatype and its required fields:
The Datatype then can be used as usual within you mapping.

How to align (center) field's content in the section (band) limits

The environment is:
CR version: CR version: CR 10.2.3600
VS version: VS 2005 Prof + C#
Application type: Windows application
The Text objects can have set crHorCenterAlign property. There are no similar crVertCenterAlign property. So, how can we vertically align the Text objects content in theirs limits.
It would be usefull to have more properties, I mean something like this: TopAlignment, CenterAlignment and BottomAlignment. Currenty CR uses TopAlignment as a default settings which cannot be changed and is unavailable for a developer.
The similar alignments but in section (band) limits would be usefull for objects. For example, when the details rows have different heights which depend on a fields content smaller fields are printed at the top of the section (band). It would be usefull to have the object properties to set how the object is to be aligned in the section limits.
Please look at this [picture |http://www.zgadzaj.pl/temp/vertical.jpg]. It shows that 2-nd column has larger content, so the section has been expanded. But rest of columns are printed at the top of the band. If we have additional properties than we can decide how objects should be vertically aligned.
Perhaps I am wrong and there are somewhere vertical alignment setting hidden under different names.
Regards,
Marek

Hi Marek,
The version that is shipped with Visual Studio is a basic version and set of API`s. For full control you can purchase a full version of Crystal Reports. With this version you have an extended set of API`s with CR assemblies as well as the Report Application Server which runs inProc and has the RCAPI set of API`s that gives you more control on all objects, not fully but they are adding more functions all the time.
RAS has Alignment API`s available.
Download a Trial version of CR XI R2 ( SP4 Full build ) and then SP5 which is incremental and then download sample app`s to get you going with RAS.
Thank you
Don

JS - Save File as Field Name in the Data Merge Source File

Hi All - I need some help...
I'm trying to figure out the JavaScript code to save an indd file using the data merge source file field value.
As an example...
Let's say I have an invoice template called template.indd that is linked to invoice.txt.
To make it easy, let's say the text file has 1 field called "invoice number" with a value of 123
I run data merge.
Now I want to save the merged indd file as 123.indd
I've got everything figured out in JS except getting the source text file data into a variable to use when saving. This one's been giving me fits for hours!
Is this possible??
Thanks very much

Mapping : how to see the field contents

Hi
I had tested the mapping object ( source : webservice --> dest: RFC )
When i ran the test after importing the source instance from XML file, i am getting the message testing is succefull , but i want to see the filed contents in the destination message type (RFC) after the the test.is it passible.
my requirement is to analyse the field contents after mapping had been done.
Thanks & regards
Mallik

Hi,
If you want to see what is the actual transformation happening during runtime (i.e. when you test the end-to-end scenario from WebService to RFC)
1) login to SAP GUI
2) go to transaction /nSXMB_MONI
3) double-click on Monitor for Processed XML Messages
4) Fill the details (like Execution Time, Sender/Receiver Service, Interface etc) and press F8.
5) double-click on the message-entry corresponding to your scenario
6) You will see a list as:
Inbound Message
Interface Determination
Request Message Mapping and other options
7) Expand Inbound Message tab --> Payloads --> Right-click on Main Document and say display in Window 1
8) Expand Request Message Mapping tab --> Payloads --> Right-click on Main Document and say display in Window 2
Now you can see the message coming into SAP XI in window 1 (upper window) and message going out of SAP XI in window 2 (lower window)
Regards,
Abhishek.
