Setting a field in the workflow when a form is a document variable?

Hello,
I hope I can explain this right. I have a form with several digital signatures, so I am passing the forms around using document variables. This is also outside of form manager, I email the form out to users who fill it out and email it back in. I use the Email Attachments and Email Receiver QPACs for this so that it can touch back on the work flow. So, after user1 fills out the form and then emails it back in, I need to set a field in the form before I email the form back out to the next person. So, since my form is within a document variable, what is the best way to go about doing this so that I can continue perserving the digital signatures? The field I am setting keeps track of which part the form is currently on so that I can mark subforms as readonly.
Thanks,
Jennifer

Trying to add a flowable/expandable text field to the end of a form

I have created a form in LiveCycle Designer. At the end of that form, I would like a Summary text box that expands to allow the person who is filling out the form to type as much information as is necessary and it will all be visible/print when they are done. I have the field to the point where it will expand (finally!) but I have requested that the field allow page breaks (including all subforms it is contained within) but when it expands, it all carries over to the next page and doesn't allow us to go beyond one page of typing. Is there anyway to remedy this situation so the text will actually "flow" from one page to another instead of just carrying it over?

I appreciate you replying to my post and maybe this is just that I have never used the forum before but your reply said that you hoped the sample document would help me and I don't see a sample document attached to the reply. Am I missing something?

"An error occurred sending the command to the application" When trying to open excel document from outlook 2007

Error message "An error occurred sending the command to the application" When trying to open excel document from outlook 2007.
OS: Windows Server 2008 R2
If I save the document then it opens fine, messing with default file associations does not resolve this problem, I've googled for ir it and some suggest unticking compatibility mode or "run as admin" for excel application, neither is selected in my case.
Outlook is configured to run as remote application from remoteApp server, this error is only occurring for one user, for others excel documents open just fine.

Hi
Thank you for using
Microsoft Office for IT Professionals Forums.
From your description, we can Create a trusted location follow these steps
Click the Microsoft Office Button , and then click Excel Options.
Click Trust Center, click Trust Center Settings, and then click
Trusted Locations.
If you want to create a trusted location that is not local to your computer, select the Allow trusted locations on my network (not recommended) check
box.
Click Add new location.
IMPORTANT We recommended that you don't make your entire
Documents or My Documents folder a trusted location. Doing so creates a larger target for a hacker to potentially exploit and increases your security risk. Create a subfolder within Documents or My Documents, and make only that folder a trusted location.
In the Path box, type the name of the folder that you want to use as a trusted location, or click Browse to
locate the folder.
If you want to include subfolders as trusted locations, select the
Subfolders of this location are also trusted check box.
In the Description box, type what you want to describe the purpose of the trusted location.
Click OK.

Set External Field Value by Workflow

Is there any way to Set External Field Value by SPD 2013 workflow?

Hi j.kiani,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to update an external column in a list by SharePoint workflow.
I did a test:
Create a list with an external column
Create a workflow , and add ‘Set Field in Current Item’ action, select the field is the external column, set the value to a value from the External Content type data source
Publish the workflow and start it on an item
The external column was changed to the value that I set in workflow. However, when I refreshed the external column by clicking the ‘sync’ flag, the data was changed to the old value.
I used ‘Update ListItem’ action, the result was same
It seems that there is not an OOB way to change external column with SharePoint workflow. You can change the external column by SharePoint web OOB way (Editing item) .
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
Wendy

Which field is the workflow trigger for a Contract Agreement ?

Greeting everyone,
I am not sure if this has been answer before or if this is the correct forum. If not, apologies in advance and do direct me to the appropriate topic/forum.
I have an inquiries with regards to Contract Outline agreement and workflow trigger.
Based on my company configuration, the trigger is based on the changes in value and release strategy.
What I am unsure is that which field the workflow-trigger checks?
Does SAP checks the field "Target Value" in contract header, or the sum of net value in each of the contract items?
Thank you

Hello Sek,
In contracts, the target value is used for the release strategy determination and not the net contract value. If you maintain a target value in the contract header, this value is set in field CEKKO-GNETW to determine the strategy. If no target value exists on header level, a cumulation of the target values of the items is carried out and used for the release strategy determination.
Regards,
Mauro

Trigger the workflow when so delivery is completed

Hi experts ,
I need to trigger the wokflow if SO delivery is completed.
could anyone please let me know if any event is there to trigger the workflow whenever SO delivery is completed.
Regards ,
Kiran.

1. First you need to create a RFC function module in the CRM system, and in that FM call the respective workflow template .
2. Now you need to define RFC connection between the R/3 and CRM system in SM59 txn.
3. Now once the connection is established between R/3 and CRM system, then as i mentioned in my preivous reply, plesase call the newly created RFC FM in the CRM system from that method.....
4. Make sure that first you define connection between R/3 andf CRM, approach your basis consultant to create a RFC connection, and provide the username as WF-bacth and its password correctly , this is because when you call a FM in other system then the repective sytem will ask for the login and password, sisnce Wf-bacth is background user w.r.t to Wrokflows , once you provide wf-bacth and its password in the created connection then you mght not face login problem...
for Further queries please revert back...

Adding new field to the page when the field source not available

Hi,
I have a requirement to add vendor_serial_number (manufacturer's serial number) to the page /oracle/apps/csi/instance/general/webui/InstanceDetailsPG. This column is available in mtl_serial_numbers_all_v table. I don't see any VO in that page has access to this. What is the best approach to add this field in the page.
Create a new VO with the query to get the vendor_serail_number based on the item_number, serial_number.
Attach the VO to the AM InstanceDetailsAM or create a new custom AM as we can't attach the new VO to the seeded AM.
Add a item to the page that gets the column value from this new VO.
Please suggest.
Thanks,
HC

1. Create the textfield item using personalization.
2. Create a View Object to get the field
3. Extend the InstanceDetailsCO and attach the VO to AM programatically in the extended CO.
Any suggestions.
Thanks,
HC

How to set LocaleId for DateTimeControl on workflow 2010 initiation form

I am using a workflow initiation form to request a startdate and expirationdate as initation parameters from the user that starts the workflow. The SharePoint sitecollection is in dutch and so my user is expecting dutch culture settings for the date
format.
The workflow initiation form somehow shows a english date format.
I have tried to set the LocaleId property on every SharePoint:DateTimeControl in the aspx form by using SharePoint designer. This worked for the client side datepicker, but the selected value was no longer stored in the workflow param.
I also tried setting the regional settings for application and sitecollection as this was my first though for a possible solution. Unfortunately this does not make a difference. In a list column I see this setting is applied succesfull. For example: I'm using
a task list the shows me the right date format matching the regional setting. Today I did several tests with chinese, german, english and dutch settings. All are applied and showing on correct datepickers in
the tasklist, but none are showing correct datepicker on the initiation form. (List and Site workflows)
I am currently testing on a SharePoint 2013 Foundation Farm with Dutch Language Pack and CU December 2014 installed. I am using SharePoint 2010 workflows and a dutch version of SharePoint designer.
I hope someone can help me!

Hi,
I tested the same scenario per your post in my environment, and I got the same results as got.
As a workaround, I recommend to dynamically change the date format in the workflow initiation form page and display the value in a new input box.
Below is the code example, and I hided the original input box for the date field and display with a new input box, then display the date value with needed format in the new input box.
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$(".ms-input").blur(function(){
var value=$(".ms-input").val();
//change the value of the date to be the right format here
$(".ms-input").hide();
$(".ms-input").after("<div><input name='date' type='text'></div>");
//display the date value which has been changed with the needed format in the new input box
$("input[name='date']").val(value);
</script>

How to populate a field on the Self Registration Approval Form?

Hello,
I have a field named SSN (last 4 digits of the SSN) that a self registered user must fill in during self registration. After the user submits the request, the request is submitted to a reviewer.
This reviewer logs in and accesses the Self Registration Approval Form for that particular request. I would like to display the possible returned values of SSN that I query from HR based on the requester's firstname, middlename, and lastname. This will allow the reviewer to verify the requester's identity. If the entered SSN does not match the displayed SSN, the reviewer can take the proper action.
How can this be accomplished?
I looked into the prepopulate rule generator adaptor. But I don't have a form to attach the adaptor to it since the approval form is an ootb form.
Thanks

Yes, I did.
In the adapter I mapped the adapter return value to the output of the java code (Get SSN).
In the User Registration Process Definition, I have a non conditional task named Get SSN. I mapped the requestID to the request Key and the adapter return value to the field on the self registration form (using User Definition field).
But the value did not show up in that field...

Making a field on the SCSM 2012 Change form a required field?

I've got an oldie but a goodie...
Are there any good instructions / example articles, for how to make a field mandatory?
I understand I need to use Visual Studio to create a control. From here I need to make a DLL and bundle it in an Management Pack Bundle. Then I have to Bind the control to the field.
A few important pieces of information. I first opened Visual Studio 3 days ago. I have no idea how to use VS. I barely found where the DLL is "built". I gave up serious coding in '93. I not bad at PowerShell and Bash.
Never used VB or C#. (Honestly, if Rob Ford's Blog didn't have screenshots I never would have figured out to use VS2010 or how to add the reference Assemblies.)
(Now that you've stop laughing...) ;-)
Do I need a new control for each field or can I re-use the control for other fields?
Why wasn't a Standard Control added to SCSM2012 to require an entry in a field? OOTB, Incidents have mandatory fields, so can I re-use that control in other forms. All we need is to require the user to include certain
fields before submitting a Change Request.
Thank you for any assistance or answers you have.
Ray Watters, Chicago

Do I need a new control for each field or can I re-use the control for other fields?
Once you have a single custom control loaded onto your form it can do everything that you require. Not just validation rules, but anything you need it to do. For example, I have done form customisations purely via a custom control.
Why wasn't a Standard Control added to SCSM2012 to require an entry in a field?
The standard forms are WPF forms and their validation rules are hard-coded in the XAML and C# that make up the forms.
To find which DatePicker you need, look at it in the Authoring Tool to see its Name or use Snoop from here:
http://snoopwpf.codeplex.com/
You can hover over the console and see the control names, although, sometimes, it is a bit unstable with the SCSM console.

Is there a setting to automatically close the "please wait while we generate your document" page that pops up when downloading a pdf file?

I am constantly downloading pdf's and excel files from our company software which uses a web browser to access it. When I download a file, firefox generates a full screen pop up window that states "please wait while we generate your document." My problem with it is the fact that pop up window does not close after the download. I have to manually close the window. Is there a way to set that pop up window to close automatically after the file has finished downloading and is open in foxit reader or excel or word or whatever?
Thanks,
Tony

Hi,
You could try is to '''Disable''' the Foxit, Adobe and Office '''Plugins''' in '''Tools '''('''Alt '''+ '''T''') > '''Add-ons''' and use the normal Firefox Open with (when you click on a link) to browse/open it in the required application.

Date Field in the Index when Apending Emails to PDF only shows received date

Hi,
I have Adobe Professional X with Outlook 2010 and I need to create a pdf with an index of about 1300 emails that are a mix of send and received items. For legal reasons I need to be able to sort them by sent date, however there is only one date field visible when I look at the columns in the pdf. this field seems to be the received date.
Does anyone know anyway to change this or to add another field so that I can see the send date of emails?
Thanks

Hi
your utility is very helpful
one thing i want ask.... i am using oracle developer suite in that where i can find web server and where i can place the FormStart folder
Help me in this
Thanks
Edited by: maddyd2k on Mar 31, 2011 3:46 AMHi
first, yes this utility is very useful but it is not mine ;) all credits goes to Peter de Vaal the author !
for your requirements, take a look at Peter's documentation on how to set up the utility for developer suite (the webserver is the oc4j standalone)
you must define a virtual path to your FormStart folder and html files :
Step 2. Define a virtual path
The FormsStart directory must be made accesible through the http protocol. The way to do this is to define a virtual path for your web server.
For Oracle Developer Suite the webserver is the stand-alone oc4j. You define a virtual path in file orion-web.xml. This file can be found in:
<DS_home>\j2ee\DevSuite\application-deployments\default\defaultWebApp
Add the following line before the </orion-web-app> tag:
     <virtual-directory
            virtual-path="/forms/fs"
            real-path="C:\oracle/FormsStart/html" />
For Oracle Application Server the webserver is Apache. You can specify virtual paths in httpd.conf or in one of its include files (oracle_apache.conf, forms.conf). We suggest to specify it in forms.conf (in <AS_home>\forms\server, For 9i and 9.0.4 it is: forms90\server\forms90.conf).
Use Enterprise Manager Website to edit this file (Click on HTTP Server, then on Advanced server Properties, then on forms.conf or forms90.conf).
Add the following line, below the list of other AliasMatch tags:
Windows:
# Virtual path for FormsStart Utility
AliasMatch ^/forms/fs/(..*) "C:\oracle\FormsStart/html/$1"
Unix:
# Virtual path for FormsStart Utility
AliasMatch ^/forms/fs/(..*) "/app/oracle/FormsStart/html/$1"JeanYves
