Transport Custom XML Forms

Hi All
I have custom forms developed in dev system and are working well there, I need to move those forms from dev to quality, so I have copied and pasted them using webdav URL (through file explorer manually place them to physical location)
But I can't see a New form added under Folder> New>Forms menu
I have made the settings under Folder Setiing at System Configuration>Content Managemnt>Folder-based Publishing-->Folder Settings with priority as 10.
Is there any system restart need to be performed after new forms tranported
Please advise me how to resolve it.
Thanks,
Chinna.

Yes, I have given the path to the folder.
Can you pelase tell me Is there any thing missed in my approach which I follwed as below.
1. Copied the content from dev system from this location *etc/xmlformst/NewXMLFormsLocation* (where XML forms located) using webdav url.
2. Pasted the content in quality system at this location *etc/xmlforms/*
3. At Forms Availability -- > folder settings
                         set the parameters as
Id : NewXMLFormsLocation
                                           Priority: 10
                                           Folder Path: /documents/customNews/**
                                           Forms to Exclude: (left blank)
                                           Forms to Include: NewXMLFormsLocation
After I did this configuration, I don't see any new form has come in Folder>New>Forms menu.
But, I tried by replacing the Forms to Include value with existing SponsoredLinks, then I could see the result in Forms menu.
Where is it going wrong when I try with NewXMLFormsLocation
Thanks in Advance,
Chinna.

Transport of XML Forms

Hi,
We need to transport XML Forms from our sandbox to the Test system. Here is the configuration for our sandbox and test system:
J2EE Engine 6.40
Portal 6.0.12.0.0
KnowledgeManagementCollaboration 6.0.12.1.0
TREX 6.1
Can anyone please tell me how this can be done? Thanks for all your valuable time and help.
Sincerely,
Sri

Hi Patricio,
Thanks a lot for your prompt reply. Now, if I want to move the XML forms from the Test system to my local instance of the portal, which is NW04 SPS 12, is it possible for me to do so? Is moving the XML forms more like a copy and paste operation or is it something different? Thanks again for your valuable time and effort.
Sincerely,
Sri
P.S. I just awarded points

Help needed - XML forms not displaying in my repository

Hi all
I could really do with some help here. I have a custom XML form for news articles. It works fine in the standard documents repository, but I have my iView pointing to a folder in my own CM repository.
When a user tries to directly access the "show" form, instead of the form it displays the XML code. Any ideas why this is?
My CM repository is running the following services:
layout, properties, svc_acl, tbp
EP6SP14
Thanks! Chris

Hello,
I have the same problem. When I'm trying to create an XML file using XML form in the repository /etc, I get the following error:
XML - Forms
Cannot create item e0977870-cf29-2d10-bb89-d00b5761268c.xml in collection /etc/public/; operation is not supported.
When I do the same in repository /documents, it works fine.
I think, I've made the neccesary settings for the repository (Form Based Publishing, ...).
Any clues will be highly appreciated.

Buttons not works into xml forms

Hellow,
I have created some custom XML forms . However, the buttons on the editor (hyperlink, text size etc) dont work. I Have created 2 types of buttons, one type is a button standard of xml forms builder. And the second type is a button created with html code.
My problem is that only one of these types works at the same time.
Some body knows how i can solve the problem??
Thanks

If you have metalink access check out Note:357545.1 it describes the behavior you are seeing, this is caused by Microsoft's IE way of handling embedded objects, the embedded objects will no longer be activated automatically, instead they will require a user interaction like a "click", this is why you have to click twice.
Just like Gerd have said above, this will only appear if you are using "seperateframe=false"

Hi, we have a content repository type "fsdb" in wich we have created a xml form to publish content.
Now we need to develope a program or process that read information from a database and generate the xml content in the repository,
How can we generate the xml form content?
I have tried coping and existing element of the repository from the file system and changing the data but something more is needed, I think that is necesary to update the database.
Any suggestion is welcomed.
Thanks in advanced.

Hi,
I differred my theme, cause I also had to use and transport the xml-forms into another portal. For this reason I have to use xml-forms. I've found out how to modify the the content/text of an subscription-mail.
Is there any way to define different layouts for subscription-mails? (Maybe depending on the folder.)
Is there any way to send an e-Mail to a specified address (including the content) when saving the xml-form?

Open XML Forms not using KM

Hi experts,
I have the following request:
Place a link in the Portal that displays a custom XML Form document to fill in.
By now I have always filled in new XML Forms documents by accessing KM and selecting 'New > Form > <custom form>'.
Now I need to access a XML Form by clicking a link in Portal (without accessing KM). Is there any special iView already created for this? Is this possible in any other way?
Many thanks in advenced and regards
Stella

Hi,
You can create a KMnavigation iView and change the following propertie s
Layout set = NewsExplorer
folder =News
and create iView.
Assign this Iview to the role and role to a user.So when user clieks on role he can create news .
Hope it helps.

External link in xml forms

Hi,
I have created a customized xml forms with Edit,RenderListItem and show forms. I created a Dataschema with Datatype "url" and added in the RenderListItem,Show.But when i execute, it always gives an error and most importantly i have changed the Javascript open_url function in the xsl file with url instead of tmpurl in the "window.open" .
The error comes only for the RenderListItem and for Show form, it works fine after changing the Javascript.
<b>Error Details:</b>
Item not found
/documents/http://www.aprilbiztec.com/
The item you are attempting to access is not available. Check that the name or link is correct. You might also check whether the associated repository is currently accessible.
Thanks,
Vijay

Hi Marcelo,
Thanks for the reply.I made changes as you have mentioned.But now i get the url encoding error (http://hostname/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/http%3A//www.aprilbiztec.com/) , I have changed the xsl files(for javascript) after generating the project.
Thanks,

Can XML Forms be transported?

Hi,
I have created an XML form and need to transport it to my QA portal - is this possible? I cannot seem to find anywhere to add it to a transport package.
Thanks
Cindy

Hi ,
I think there is no mechanism to transport xml file like pcd transport. I hope you can do by copying files manually from installation directory and paste those xml forms in the installation directory of quality server.
have a look

XML Forms show raw xml after transport

Hallo experts,
at the moment I am working to set up a SAP Enterprise Portal 7.4. I was able to export KM content from our old 7.0 portal.
The only problem i am experiencing is that xml forms, that I exported and imported through standard KM export / import, are showing as raw xml.
The forms are available in forms builder and I also generated a preview (compiled the form) for each form and saved after that.
There are no errors in the log that point me in a direction, so please help.
Do you have any ideas what I am missing?
Best regards,
André

Hi Zlatin,

By Default identic properties queries are connected by an 'OR'.
Please have a look into the documentation for further info.

So far it's not possible to connect two identic proerties by an 'AND' within the standard.
You can preset a search filter via the relevant Search Option Set.

Transporting XML forms to another system.

Hi , I need to transport my XML project only one time to another sytem. What do i do ?? I do not want to setup and use ICE stuffs.... any ideas out there. is there some post processing stuff?
thanks.

Hi,
You can do one thing.
You can create a KM Navigation iview and set the property 'path to document' as /ice
and assign this iview to page to workse to role. Assign this role to users/groups.
This way you can export the KM content.
For import/package upload.
Check that Cotent management ->package upload iview in pcd content and duplicate that iview and assign that also to the same role.
This way you can do the KM transport.
Hope that helps.

Custom Actions in XML Forms Builder

Hello everyone,
We are starting a project to replace our current intranet with Enterprise Portal + KM + Collaboration. Our current intranet has many interactive foms developed as ASP pages for doing thinks like requesting new user ID's etc. These forms are attached to a workflow engine (Ultimus) where they trigger various workflow processes. I am exploring wherther or not these existing ASP based forms can be replaced by XML forms developed on the form builder.
Can XML forms be developed that trigger external actions like generatating a workflow? I have not found anything in the documentation so far that would indicate how this is accomplished?
Thanks,
-Matt Schababerle

Thank you Detlev, that is what Im looking for.
I knew that XML forms are primarily for document creation. I'm just trying to think 'out of the box' and find a way to convert all the ASP forms we have to a standard, portal-based format.
The forms I am reviewing are mostly simple pages that would basically validate and save the form data, then kick off a single workflow task. For existing forms, we will utilize URL iViews and link to the existing form.
For new forms, it sounds like we could probably make the XML forms builder work, but would probably be better off just creating basic .jsp or web dynpro pages to handle the data validation and external workflow submission. What do you think?
Thanks for your help!
