Unable to close web form.

Here is a typical 11g forms development session for me.
1. Create/modify a form using Forms builder on my PC.
2. Transfer the form to the Solaris box.
3. Compile the form.
4. Open the form on my web browser.
5. With the form still open, repeat steps 1-4.
I have done it this way for years using 10g but 11g frequently freezes the form displayed on the web.
I have to kill the browser and start all over.
If I close the form on the web first, there is rarely a problem.
Also, when a newly compiled form is run on the web for the first time, the canvas colors are all white !
I can close and re-open the form with no other side effects.
Do you think this may be a Java setting issue or what ?
Thanks for your interest.
Mike

Mike,
I have done it this way for years using 10g but 11g frequently freezes the form displayed on the web.I have to kill the browser and start all over.>
Curious; I have always not done it this way! :) In my experience, and I've been working Oracle Forms for a lot of years, I have found that it is a "Best Practise" to always close an instance of a Forms Runtime rather than try to refresh a newly compiled version of a Form in the Forms Runtime instance. In cases where you don't do this, your browser session typically dies (4 out of 5 times) and you have to kill the browser session completely and start over. I've followed this method since my early days developing with Forms 4.5. In the rare instances where your Forms session doesn't freeze - often times the browser simply displays the same edition of the Form and not the new compiled edition.
Do you think this may be a Java setting issue or what ?No, I think it is simply a case of the Object is already in use and trying to refresh the instance of the object with a newly compiled Form locks the object rather than refreshes the object. This was true with the old client installed Forms Runtime and I have found this to be true with the new Web Forms Runtime.
All of this is based on my personal observation and experience, so this is just my opinion. Perhaps someone from Oracle (like Michael Ferrante) could elaborate on this. :)

Unable to open Web analysis

We recently installed Web Analysis 9.3.1 and have not been able to successfully open it. When we select the Web Analysis URL the initial Web analysis Studio appears with a "session in progress" message. Shortly thereafter a new window opens and it is a blank blue screen with a tiny icon in the upper left corner. We are unable to close this window - you have to go back to the first window and close it completely before the blank screen closes. Web Analysis is deployed in WebSphere 6.0.2 and we are using SSL.

one useful tool might be the Web Analysis config page: replace Hyperion.com with your BIP URL
(assuming your webserver is running on port 45000)
e.g. hyperion.com:45000/WebAnalysis/config
There are useful tests you can perform to see if the required services are available.

Calling a Report from a Web Form

Hi,
I am calling a Report developed in report 6i from a Web form 6i
Button. I am unable to launch the Report if Report is using a
Customized Template. The report is able to launch if it has no
template or using the templates given in report wizard. Is there
any setting required in the Report Server for reading the
template file???

Hello,
According to the way the reports is launched, the format of the reports output depends on the
variables : FORMS60_REPFORMAT (for Forms 6.0 and 6i)
Two others variables are used : FORMS60_OUTPUT and FORMS60_MAPPING.
Can you check the variable FORMS60_REPFORMAT ?
regards Dennis:
Thanks for the info. Your suggestion of changing the windows registry setting FORMS60_REPFORMAT to 'PDF' worked! I did not have to make any other changes to the form. I left the run_product format as is in the form and it worked like a charm. When we eventually migrate to Oracle Reports/Forms 9i we will look into using run_report_object. But for now we will stick with Oracle Forms6i. There was no need to alter the other registry settings FORMS60_MAPPING and FORMS60_OUTPUT since I followed the instructions of setting the virtual directories (symbolic links) when I installed the forms and reports services.
Thanks again for your help!

I am unable to save my form responses as a pdf or excel file.

I am unable to save my form responses as a pdf or excel file. The error message states: Acrobat.com could not save this file. The file might be open in another application and cannot be overwritten.

Did saving ever work or did it fail the first time you tried?
Have you tried to save to multiple locations? Maybe it has something to do with permissions on the directory you are trying to save to.
Have you tried saving something from another web site to the same location? Try creating and saving a file in/from https://workspaces.acrobat.com/app.html#o and see if that has the same result.
Thanks,
Josh

Help Needed in resolving problems with Hyperion Planning Web Forms

Hi,Can anyone help me with this problem?Problem:We are running Planning 2.3.1 I have created Webform & security(application owner has the ownership).Somehow Iam getting only 7 dimensions into webform & 1 dimension is missing in that. But whereas 8 dimensions are there in Essbase.Hsp_Rates dimension is available in essbase outline but Iam unable to see that dimension in the webform selection.And using the webform Iam unable to load any data ...the form is graded/protected.Is this happening because i dont have the requirement of 1 member from each Dimension?Please someone let me know why this is happening what might be the reason.ThanksUser

Hi,The dimension Hsp_Rates is a hide dimension used by Planning to store the exchange rates for the differentes exchanges.All the standard information is stored on HSP_InputValue member (in this dimension).When you create a web form, Planning automatically asign this member (but don't show it).Probably you can't load data because you are selected on Version dimension a Standard Botton Up version, and you only can load data on level 0 members in this type of version.If you want to load data on upper level members, then you need to create a Standard Target version (in the Version dimension) and select it in the form.Please, advice if this solve your problemClaudioBPD Solutions

How to calculate the size of web forms in hyperion planning?

Hi Experts,
I am trying to calculate the size of planning forms in Hyperion smart view., but i am unable to find out the way to calculate.
Can you pls explain how to calculate the size of web form in Smart view?
--- Srini.

Hi Srini,
First, here is what Oracle says:
Data Form Size Estimation:
To get a rough estimate of data form size, open the data form and select File > Save As from the browser. The size of the .HTML file is the portion of the data form that changes based on grid size. The .JS files remain the same size and can be cached, depending on browser settings. Information such as data form definitions, pages, and .gif files are not compressed when data forms are opened and sent to the Web browser.
I have not been able to find out using their method.
In any case, you can find out the size of grid by using below
1. Right click on the form grid and click "View source"
2. Save the source file as "Example.html"
3. Right click the saved file and click "Properties"
4. The Form size whould be same as that of file..
Let me know if it helps.
Cheers

Attaching files to a web form

please tell me how to attach files to a web form for uploading. i know how to make a page that just uploads a file. but before i do it, i have to attach files( sent by a pop-up window ) to a web form in a main window. There are some resources about uploading files, but not for attaching files to a web form... please help me...
Thanks in advance...

I gotcha!
Try this:
1) Open new window with file inputs within a std form.
2) Have form submit to servlet
3) Have servlet retrieve file(s) and save them in session.
4) Have servlet spit out javascript to close popup window and refresh main page (which will then show some sort of verification that the files were received.
5) When main form is submitted, retireve (and remove) files from the session and process.
Hope that helps,

How to close PDF form in Browser

Hi,
Does anyone knows if there are any way to close a PDF form that is opened in a browser (Internet Explorer 6)?
In my form, there is a button that is supposed to close the form when clicked, it is working if I launched the form in Reader but does not work in a browser.
The script that I used in the click event of the button is:
event.target.closeDoc();
Thank you.

Hi,
heres the code
1. Go to <Your Webdynpro project> - WebDynpro - Web Dynpro Components - <your component> - Windows right click and create a window (PdfWindow).
2. Place the view that contains pdfForm in the window PdfWindow.Create a button in the view say ClosePdf .
3. Create a context attribute say WindowInstance of type com.sap.tc.webdynpro.clientserver.window.Window (java native type) in the component controller.Map this attribute to the context of both views (view with button and Pdfview)
3. In the onAction of button
IWDWindowInfo windowInfo = (IWDWindowInfo) wdComponentAPI.getComponentInfo().findInWindows("PdfWindow");
IWDWindow window = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createWindow(windowInfo,true);
window.setWindowPosition(500, 500);
window.show();
wdContext.currentContextElement.setWindowInstance(window); // this iwll bw used to destroy the pop up
4. In Pdfview create a action closepopup and associate with button ClosePdf. In the action write
IWDWindow window = wdContext.currentContextElement.getWindowInstance();
window.destroy(); // this will close the popup.
Note:
you dont need wdContext.currentContextElement().setPdfVisible(WDVisibility.VISIBLE); as your pdfform is in different view.

The server was unable to save the form at this time. Please try again - tried the trust standards...

2013 standard sharepoint server. Content DBs were on a Trial enterprise server and copied over to standard server. All was good on trial server.
there are 8 sites on server, 2 of the sites cannot create or edit items, they get "The server was unable to save the form at this time. Please try again"
googling around i tried everything. restarted search host controller, checked ram usage (8gb free), manage content types, iisresets, edit the web.config file ( add things for ram, search host, etc), no alternate access mappings, .net HTTP activation, rebooted
server... I'm sure i missed some.
The server is new install, all but the August HF CUs. Trial server the content DBs came from is at same level.
It is not a server level issue as the other 6 sites are fine. its something with just 2 sites.
kinda stuck here...
Thanks,

With the USL Logs were hard to track down what was happening, though I think it was too do with /_vti_bin/client.svc/ProcessQuery.
I did the Enable/Disable Anonymous Access on the Directory with no luck.
Brought up Fiddler and Saw that I was getting 401 and 500 Errors on
GET http://team.intranet.eandm.com/it/_vti_bin/client.svc/ProcessQuery HTTP/1.1
So it had something to do with Permissions. I checked the Authentication and the sites that worked had Forms Auth Enabled, and the ones that didn't, didn't have forms Auth enabled. Enabling it manually was no go.
I then went though the web.config on the working and non-working sites and there were some differences. The Authentication was Forms on the working site, Windows on the nonworking. There was many things not present. httpModules section was missing,
Many of the Microsoft Identity /Authentication lines etc.
So I Basically took the web.config from the working site and copied it to the non-working site preserving the following line from the original web.config:
<machineKey validationKey="{key}" decryptionKey="{key}" validation="{hash}" />
After that I had Security Issues, Though I think this was Caused by the July 2014 CU making everything use the Microsoft Identity parts, where as the server I was porting form had the sites created before the July 2014 CU. (though both were at the same level)
Even though all of the users were present in the site security, I had to Drop and re-add them to every site/and list with special Perms.
With the Security Fixed, I no longer received the Error "The server was unable to save the form at this time. Please try again"
Knock on wood its all functioning fine.

The server was unable to save the form at this time. Please try again

Having created a new custom list (even with only a text field) I am unable add new items to the list - the error message is Unexpected
response from server. The status code of response is '0'. The status text of response is ''. when in 'quick edit'.
If I try to add or modify an item in the list by clicking 'add new item' I get "The
server was unable to save the form at this time. Please try again."
I have restarted the Sharepoint Search Host Controller server but to no avail. I have 24Gb RAM for this server so it's not a
memory issue (8Gb available). I have also tried from various browsers including Chrome and Safari - still the same error message.
This error only occurs on lists. I can edit document properties in a library and have no problems with calendar entries.
There are no entries in the event viewer, so where do I need to begin looking to find out what is (or rather is not) happening?

One thing I noticed in SP 2013 is that if your list has unique permissions and a user/group has permissions only on that list and has limited or no access at the site level, then you run into this error: "The server was unable to save the form at this time.
Please try again."
This can be resolved by either giving that user/group atleast read access at the site level or in my case I had to create a new permission set (since we cant update limited access permission set) which is same as limited access but with the additional permission
of "Use Remote Interfaces - Use SOAP, Web DAV, the Client Object Model or SharePoint Designer interfaces to access the Web site."
I am not sure if this is a bug or as per design, but not allowing a user who has needed permissions at the list level but limited access at site level doesnt seem right. Never ran into this issue in prior version of SharePoint. I tested and this additional
permission doesnt seem to violate any security at site level. But implement this at your risk. No guarantees provided and not responsible for any issues with this implementation if any.

Filling out Web form

Good evening,
I created our first web grant form (with writable fields, and fields for attachments).
We will have this form linked to our website (right now we are testing it).
I would like to verify, when people fill the form out over longer period of time (say they might take breaks in between), do they get cut out, or not? (I clicked on our test link, left the form open, and filled out fields randomly over 4 hours period, than submitted and it did not kicked me out.) However, I am the administrator, so it might be little different for me?
My other question is, if we could avoid the following - after people click on the "submit" button on the webform, they actually could go back afterward with the "back" arrow, and might correct some information and re-submit again (which might be confusing for collectiong data). Is there a way, that we could avoid that? Could we create a message e.g."we are sorry, but you already submitted your application once"? Just wondering.
My last question is, if people need to have adobe reader to be able to fill out the web grant form?
Thanks you for your help,

Question 1: I would like to verify, when people fill the form out over longer period of time (say they might take breaks in between), do they get cut out, or not?
- No, as long as they don't close the form in their browser, they should be able to finish filling out the form and submit.
Question 2: Is there a way, that we could avoid that? Could we create a message e.g."we are sorry, but you already submitted your application once"? Just wondering.
- Sorry, FormsCentral currently don't have that functionality. You may vote on a feature request at http://forums.adobe.com/community/formscentral?view=idea or add a new idea by clicking on "Submit Feature Request" in the page http://forums.adobe.com/community/formscentral.
Question 3: if people need to have adobe reader to be able to fill out the web grant form?
- No, users don't need to have adobe reader to fill out web forms.
