Select user action without opening the form

Environment is: LiveCycle ES2.5 Turnkey install Express Mode. Windows, JBoss, MySQL.
Browser IE w/ Reader-X.
At a User Task, it has a few User Actions (such as "Approve", "Reject"),
how do I allow the user to activate/select one of those actions (while he is in the WorkSpace) without forcing him to open the form?
I remember those User Actions used to show up in the To-Do list's "card", but somehow I don't see them anymore.
What do I need to do to get them show up in the "Card" ?
TIA

I found it. It's under the "List" view, not on the "Card".... I thought it was on the Card in previous version...

With a PDF Dynamic form using show/hide actions, how to ensure that when the completed form is saved, closed and re-opened, the form still show the fields as before it was closed?

With a PDF Dynamic form using show/hide actions, how to ensure that when the completed form is saved, closed and re-opened, the form still show the fields as before it was closed?
I have developed a form with fields hidden by default, that become visible based on box ticked or radio button selections.
My problem is that, when I close the form and re-open it, it comes back to it's default presentation, regardless of the information already recorded in the form (including in the now hidden fields.
How to correct that
Thanks in advance for any hint you can provide.

I've had the same problem. This solved it...
Go to the "Form properties..." in the File-menu. Select "Run-time" to the left and in the box "Scripting" Preserve scripting changes to form when saved: choose Automatically (Script-based state changes are saved locally in an insecure fashion. This option cannot be used for certified forms).

How to send mail from adobe interactive form without opening the outlook

Hello all,
When the end user press the submit button i want it to send the XML data without opening the outlook or other mail application.
Is there a way to do this?
I tried javascript codes to send mail with UI = false but it did not work.
Thank you all in advance,
Eran

mailForm
Parameters: bUI, cTo, [cCc], [cBcc], [cSubject], [cMsgBody]
Returns: nothing
This method exports the form data and mails the resulting FDF file as an attachment to all recipients,
with or without user interaction depending on the value of bUI.
If it is set to true then the rest of the parameters are used to seed the compose new message window that is displayed to the user.
If bUI is set to false, the cTo parameter is required and all others are optional.
You must use a semicolon u201C;u201D to separate multiple recipients in cTo, cCc, cBcc parameters.
The length limit for cSubject and cMsgBody is 64k bytes.
Example:
/* This will pop up the compose new message window */
this.mailForm(true);
/* This will send out the mail with the attached FDF file to fun1 @ fun . com and fun2 @ fun . com */
this.mailForm(false, "fun1 @ fun . com; fun2 @ fun . com", "", "", "This is the subject", "This is the body of the mail.");
Note:
This is a Windows-only feature. In addition, the client machine must have its
default mail program configured to be MAPI enabled in order to use this method.
I had to change the code:
instead of this.mailDoc :
var myDoc = event.target;
myDoc.mailDoc(false, "fun1 @ fun . com; fun2 @ fun . com", "", "", "This is the subject", "This is the body of the mail." );
But the outlook new message window still opens...
Any Idea's?

Two user tries to open the same action

Hi,
Process Default roles are assigned to "Portal Roles" instead of "Individual user".
It was found that two users can open the same action without any warnings.
My requirement is if two users at the same time access the same action then some message should be displayed or no two users are allowed to view the same action at the same time. If one user is working on it then other user should be restricted?
How to achieve this?
Previously I was using 2004s in that senario I was getting this message
"The following action has been opened by another 1 user(s). The last access time is: Tuesday, June 30, 2009 5:40:00 AM"
This message is not visible in CE 7.1
Do I have to configure something for that.
Regards,
Pratik

Hi Pratik,
Regarding your query on restricting one user if another user has already opened a task, I would say there is no simple solution to this.
We are working on similar GP Processes where a task goes to multiple users. But we do not have requirement like yours. Nevertheless I still gave a thought on your query as to how it can be achieved. I could think of using static variables in Web Dynpro code such that as soon as a task is opened (or execute method is called), a Boolean static variable is set to true. Now if any other user tries to open the task, we do a check whether the variable is true or false. If the variable is false, then show some error or the screen in disabled mode.
But this is not so good as it looks. A problem would come in a scenario where the task is opened by multiple users, with one user having control on the task. But this user closes the task without approving it. Now we are in trouble. I thought maybe what we can do is set the static variable back to false in the wdDoExit() method. But I could still see scenarios where process will not behave properly.
I would leave it up to you to give it some more thought. You might find some clue.
In your second post, you are asking "Can we provide functionality where only one user can access the action". I think this can simply be achieved by assigning a single user to the action rather than assigning a Portal Role.

In mail how do we stop the e-mail's showing as read when you select them without opening the full e-mail

In mail how do we stop the e-mail's showing as read when you select them without opening the full e-mail? I want to click on a mail and read this in the preview pane only without showing it as read.

Not possible. In order to read an email in the preview pane requires opening the message. You can mark a message that you've read as unread after reading it.

Using ExcelExport without opening the dialog box to select all the channels in portal by default

Hi,
I need to export all the data in the Data portal to an Excel file without opening the Dialog for channels selection. In the ExcelExport command, it asks for a Config (*.stp) file as one of the parameters. Is there need to create a new stp file for selecting all channels or can the same file (Example_ASC.stp ) be reused ? If so, do I need to change any content in the system stp file ?
Thanks

Send the mail without opening mail form

Hello,
I want to send the report output thro' mail without opening the mail form. This is needed as the report need to be scheduled to execute at particular time. The mailid will be got from the DB.
I noticed that the mailid needs to be available in the mailer's addressbook. Thenonly report can send the mail.
Does it mean, all the mailid's available in the DB needs to be part of addressbook? I need help on this.
thanks in advance,
Regards,
Vani.

Hi,
It is not necessary to have all the mailid's available in the DB needs to be part of addressbook. If you set desname to mailTo address, that mailid is "TO" address of your mail output.
Thanks,

I have set form fields as User required and yet the form still prints/save when empty.

I have set form fields as User required and yet the form still prints/save when empty. I also have an email button on the form but that works correctly by not allowing the user to email the form with the required fields empty.
What script do I need to additionally restrict both printing and saving if the required fields are empty?
You would think that just setting that option would restrict those functions the same as it does for the email button.
Please be specific with your response if you are gracious enough to offer one. I have been searching the forum all morning for the answer to this and I really didn't understand any of the solutions offered to others enough to use those in my own form.
The required fields are:
Social (social security number)
Name
Headquarters
Residence
The next question I have is if there is a way to make individual signature fields mandatory if they are digital signatures?
In other words, I don't want the individual to be able to email the form to the next person if he/she hasn't applied their digital signature.

Saving can always be done, even when mandatory fields are empty. This is by design. And that is correct. Suppose you have a big form and 2 people need to fill it out. How can you fill out a first part and then send it to the second person without saving.
Same for printing. Same for your signature fields.
What I would do, is to put a "watermark" on the form that you show on preSave and prePrint if the form is incomplete. Just a static text on your form. Then the user will see that they need to do more. Also, on preSave and prePrint, you can show a warning popup to tell the user about the missing fields. You can then still cancel their action if the user decides not to save/print anyway.

End User Can Not Open A Form within Responsibility

Hi to all,
I have an end user who tries to click on a form within a responsibility. And the form does not launch. As matter of fact, the browser green progress bar does not show up. There are other forms within that same responsbility that she is able to launch.
This end user was not having this issue before. She was able to launch any forms under any responsibility without any issue.
I tested the same responsbility and same forms on my machine as was able to launch without any issue.
These are the following conditions the end user has:
IE 7
Jinitiator 1.3.1.29
I tried the following steps to remedy the issue:
Cleared cache and cookies.
Clear jar cache
Did not fix the problem
Reinstalled Jinitiator
Did not fix the problem
I turned on the show java console and show exceptions dialog box on end user jinitiator. When I go back and click on the problematic form, no java console shows up, nor does any exceptions dialog box.
Does anyone have an idea, why this may be occurring and how to resolve this issue.
Thanks

Edited by: Ferreira Lucio on Oct 9, 2009 1:15 AM

Greetings Hussein,
I worked on your recommend steps, and still unable to resolve issue:
Try opening the form using your username from the user's machine, and do the same with this specific user from some other machine.
I logged onto oracle with my credentials, and went to the same responsibility and form. This issue happens to me. But when I go back to my local machine. I have no problems.
Did you try using some other browser on the user's machine (for example, Firefox)?
I installed firefox, but everytime I click on a form, it tells me to download jinitiator.
Any recent changes have been done on the user's machine or in the user's profile options?
Unsure what profile options have changed for user
Note: 310961.1 - How To Enable The Java Console Jinitiator 1.1.8 and 1.3
Note: 232651.1 - How to Enable Tracing in Jinitiator
If none of the above helps, obtain FRD and see if you get more details about the error -- See (Note: 150168.1 - Obtaining Forms Runtime Diagnostics (FRD) In Oracle Applications 11i).
I uninstalled jinitiator, then reinstalled. Turned on java console and enabled tracing. Console/tracing does not come up for this form. On other forms it does.
I uninstalled jinitiator a third time. Then reinstalled. What I notice is that jinitiator still has the java console checked and tacing parameters set. What I believe could be happening is the jinitiator is not being uninstalled completely.
Where or how can I check if the jinitiator gets removed completely.
I have check the control panel and jinitiator is not there. I also check HKLM and it is not there also.
Any ideas how to move forward.

Link in the Task Mail opens the form in Infopath Designer instead of browser

Hello,
I have designed an InfoPath form and associated a SP designer workflow.
It is a approval workflow. When a new form is submitted, using the "Send Email" action in the workflow, it notifies the approver that a new form has been submitted and needs approval. In the mail body, I have used the Current Item's "URL Path"
for the user to be taken to the submitted form directly.
This opens up the form, but instead of the browser, it forcefully opens the form in the InfoPath designer. I have set the forms to open in the browser in the advanced settings of the library.
Where and what else change do I still need to perform for the form to open in the browser?
Thanks,
Guru

Hi,
From your description, I am not quite sure your issue clearly, my understanding is that you want to send item URL to user with workflow, and the user can access the item by the
URL. Your issue is that user will download the item via the URL instead of open the item in browser. If my understanding is incorrect, could you provide detailed information or a screenshot?
Could your provide the URL that user
received in the mail?
You could try to construct the URL pointing to the current item which could be open in browser as below.
http://sp/form1/test.xml?DefaultItemOpen=1
http://sp/_layouts/15/FormServer.aspx?XmlLocation=/form1/test.xml
http://sp/_layouts/15/FormServer.aspx?XmlLocation=/form1/test.xml&ClientInstalled=true&DefaultItemOpen=1&Source=http%3A%2F%2Fsp%2Fform1%2FForms%2FAllItems%2Easpx

How can I create a long employment form without making the form widget drag?

How can I create a long employment form without making the form widget drag?

Sorry Sachin, I mean that I created a simple form on the page from the widget and started adding fields to it. The more fields I add the slower the delay becomes in creating a new field. Even when I try to select and drag or move an item, there's a huge delay and sometimes the program feezes, loose what i've done and have ot restart.
I'm doing an enployment form that has more than 20 fields, at least, and I need to be able to build the fields in separate categories, like Education, Past Employment, etc... quickly without delay issues.
I can probably send you a snap shot of what I'm talking about if I cna post it or attach it here..?

Open the form layout in input mode if no record exists in the VO?

Hi,
I am using
JDeveloper version: Studio Edition Version 10.1.3.1.0.3984
JHeadstart version: 10.1.3.1 Release 10.1.3.1.26
I have a group with Form Layout where Single-Row Insert allowed is true.
What I want to do is:
When I open this form in the browser, it will open with the existing record in the ViewObject associated with this form, if there is any record exists.
But if there is no record exists in the ViewObject, then it will open the form in input mode (user will not need to click the 'New' button to create a record).
I tried setting the property 'Auto Query?' to false. But in that case it opens the form in input mode all the time, it does not open with the existing record.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
This is not natively supported in the 10.1.3 releases of JHeadstart. Can you please ask this question at the JDeveloper forum at JDeveloper and ADF ?
You can use the JHeadstart templating to save your customizations of course, see the JHeadstart Dev Guide chapter on customization.

Populating values in jsp without submitting the form

Hi,
I have a jsp page in which i have 2 select boxes. The values to these select boxes should come from database. When i change the selection of select box, the corresponding values from database should be displayed in the other select box without submitting the form.
How to accomplish that.
Any one having any idea about how to implement this stuff, please reply.
Thanks in advance,
Joby.

You should devide the JSP into two frames and make one frame size to 0 so it should not be visible to the use ,and put one jsp in this frame ,tht will work as the hidden jsp.
now in other frame put ur main jsp and on the change event of th select call a java script function and in this function pass the parametr to the hidden jsp like
parent.frames["hiddenframename"].document.location="hiddenJspName.jsp?parameter1=value1
and now in hodden jsp populate the data frm database based on passed parameter and after getting the data fillup the select on the second frame.
try it and if not work thn write me...
Bye.

Error: ALC-WKS-007-027 when try to open the form after converting its process to short-lived

Hello,
We have converted some of these long-lived processes to short-lived processes since they do not contain "Assign Task". After the converting users start to get the error: "Error occurred during the operation. ID 2547 ALC-WKS-007-027" in Workspace when they try to open to open the form that they have opened before the converting. Clearing cache and history in the users' browser would solve the issue and they were able to open the form but that have to be done by each user and it becomes time consuming. Beside the error above from the users' Workspace, we also see the below errors in the log file, can any one please advise what should be done rather than each user have to clean the cache and history in their browser.
