Update form without user seeing it

I want to update the freight field in the deliver ticket of SAP B1 9.0. Currently I am getting the form then setting its visibility to false but I still see it when it is called. My code is as follows
oOriginalFreight = oOriginalForm.Items.Item("89").Specific
fCharge = oOriginalFreight.Value
oTargetForm = SBO_Application.Forms.ActiveForm
oTargetForm.Freeze(True)                         'I do this to try and freeze the screen but it does not work.
oTargetFreight = oTargetForm.Items.Item("89").Specific
oTargetForm.Items.Item("91").Click()          '*********At this momment is when I don't want the user to see the form that is going to pop up
oFreightForm = SBO_Application.Forms.ActiveForm
oFreightForm.Visible = False
oFreightForm.Freeze(True)
oFreightMatrix = oFreightForm.Items.Item("3").Specific
oFreightColumns = oFreightMatrix.Columns
oFreightCharge = oFreightColumns.Item("3").Cells.Item(2).Specific
oFreightCharge.Value = CDec(fCharge) + 25.77
If oFreightForm.Mode = SAPbouiCOM.BoFormMode.fm_UPDATE_MODE Then
     oFreightForm.Items.Item("1").Click()
     oFreightForm.Items.Item("1").Click()
ElseIf oFreightForm.Mode = SAPbouiCOM.BoFormMode.fm_OK_MODE Then
     oFreightForm.Items.Item("1").Click()
End If

Hi Jesus,
I don't think that will be possible. Using the UI API will display the form and you are using the ActiveForm to actually get the form (which implies it is visible and active).

Sharing a PDF without users seeing who else has access?

Was wondering if there was a way to sharing a PDF without users seeing who else has access?

Sorry, not using Acrobat.com. It is possible using the Adobe Acrobat.

Load a PDF and Print it Without User Seeing the PDF

I have a client who has a need to allow users via a web browser to print PDFs wihtout gaining direct access to them. Ignoring all the flaws in this logic , I am new to Flex and am having difficulty determining if this is possible. So, here are the details:
1) This is a web browser application.
2) The files reside on a server.
3) The user will view a list of available PDF files in their browser.
4) There will be a print icon next to each one.
5) When they click on the print icon we need to pull in the PDF from the server and initiate a print, all without the user seeing the PDF. So once they click the print icon the next thing they see is thier browser's print dialog box.
I have 1-4 done, I just need help with the most important one, #5.
So, can Flex (without AIR) load a PDF in without displaying it and print it?
I am using Flash Builder 4.6, if it matters.
Thanks in advance for any input.

Well, that's going to be difficult. Before everything else, a silent printing in general, is not what Browser is all about. A print dialog is thrown by the browser when a user selects a print option. Same thing if an application is trying to print using built into it conventional methods of printing - you get Print dialog. It gets even harder if you want to print PDF files silently. You will need to make sure that a file is available to print in case it's generated on the fly. The following code will print your PDF without dialogs to a selected (var printer) printer:
var WshShell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
var fs = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
var fi = "AcroRd32.exe /N /T " + '"c:\\temp\\' + "filename" + '" ' + printer;
WshShell.Run(fi, 0, false);
As you notice, the file is on the local system. Or you can try printing over the network.
This code will be a part of a JS function in your html wrapper. You will call this function from Flex using ExternalInterface.
AcroRd32.exe is an Adobe free PDF reader. I would suggest starting from the end - have a file on the local system and working on everything esle.

Updates Install without user intervention

Hi All,
I am currently using WSUS and GPO's to push updates to our Windows 2008 R2 Servers. We just began doing this within the last couple of months and have created the GPO to "auto download updates and notify for install". The only other
relevant setting is "reschedule Automatic updates scheduled installations" is set to 15 minutes. Based on our setting of "notify for install", I would not expect this setting to have any effect.
Now twice in the last week, individual server administrators have been working on their servers, rebooted for whatever reason and then they report to me that Windows Updates are installing without their approval. Anyone have any ideas how this could
happen?
Thanks

"I'm absolutely sure they didn't either. That's my exact point. The user does not "initiate" an installation of downloaded updates when the system is shutdown/restarted from the Start Menu -- it happens automatically since Windows 7 SP1."
If this is the case it explains what's happening and I have to stop this. What settings then can I use to install the approved updates only if the sys admin initiates it?
There are two ways to approach this:
Configure the WUA to "Notify for Download" (AUOption='2'). As a result, the sysadmin will need to perform two tasks: [1] Download the updates (at which time the Install Updates and Shutdown consideration is in effect, and then [2] Install the updates when
desired. This implies planning in advance to allow for the download time, and then planning for the installation event.
Use the Command Prompt to reboot the server: SHUTDOWN /R /T which will completely avoid the installation of any updates already downloaded.
Personally I would offer this argument for consideration: Why is a sysadmin rebooting a server without consideration for the fact that updates might be pending installation? Most organizations I know
only restart servers as a function of installing updates, usually during scheduled maintenance windows. Any other activities that require a system restart are deferred until that scheduled maintenance window.
A corollary to this is also: Why is a sysadmin unfamiliar with patch state of the system they're responsible for?

Refresh page but SAVE USER INPUT in tabular form WITHOUT UPDATE

Hi,
When there is a tabular form in the page and user refreshes it (in anyway) tabular form's elements are always computed with values from the table in db. Can we somehow save user input in fields so that after refreshing page user will see what he/she has typed but not submitted to db?
Regards,
Tom

Hello Andy,
Let me introduce you to the problem.
There is a tabular form based on a source table. User modifies the data and after he/she clicks Submit button the validation procedure is being run before MRU. If the result of validation is positive then MRU is run otherwise data should not be submitted to db and user should be informed about the result. Moreover, he/she should see the invalid data in fields. Not the correct one from db.
Is there any way to save a session state of these fields or of a whole tabular form? I cannot save the data in other table in db.
User cannot click 'Add row' several times in my app because after he clicks it once then the button disappears and appears again only when he/she clicks 'Submit' first (so after validation procedure).
Maybe there is some way to store fields' values in memory and then compute the form when page is loading again?
Imagine the situation that there are 100 rows in tabular form and user modifies it for one hour, clicks Submit, validation result is negative and his/her whole one hour work is lost, because the form has been refreshed according to what is stored in db. Such situation should never occur.
Regards,
Tom

Need to automatically display update date and user in update form field

Hi all,
Hopefully someone can help me with this... I am using dreamweaver cs4 and php/mysql. I have a database table that will be updated by 1-5 different people at random times. I have everything set up and working, as far as the update function, delete function, add new, etc. In my update form the last two fields are Last Updated and Last Updated By. There are fields in the table called 'last_updated' (formatted in PHPmyadmin as timestamp) and 'last_updated_by'. But how do I get them to update on their own? Right now it is showing the first entry into the field which I did in the PHPmyadmin table, but it is not updating automatically. It would be a nice field to have so that we know who has worked on the table and when it was last updated, without the user manually typing that in, which I am sure they would forget to do. By the way, users will login to this with a username and password before editing the records.
This is the code for the last row in the update form with those two fields. It is pulling the fields from the database table, but they do not update automatically...
<tr>
          <th class="blackfont" scope="row">
            <div align="right">
              <label for="last_updated">Last Updated Date:</label></div>
          </th>
          <td colspan="3" class="blackfont"><input name="last_updated" type="text" id="last_updated" tabindex="47" value="<?php echo $row_getMember['last_updated']; ?>" size="15" />
            <label for="last_updated_by">Last Updated By:</label>
            <input name="last_updated_by" type="text" id="last_updated_by"tabindex="48" value="<?php echo $row_getMember['last_updated_by']; ?>" size="15" /></td>
</tr>
Thanks!
Kathy

Form based on a view - FRM-40654: Record has been updated by another user.

Hi All,
I am hoping that somebody can help me with this problem that is occurring only when I try an update a record in forms.
I have a block based on a join-view, I can insert no problems, but I can only update certain records within the block. If I come across a second record that is similar to the first except for primary key and a couple of other values and try and update that record forms gives me the following message FRM-40654: Record has been updated by another user. Re-query to see change.
The first record I have no problems in updating and I have followed a number of suggestions to get this to work, like setting the key-mode of the block to updateable/non-updateable and setting the primary key to 'yes' for some of the database items. I have also created procedures within the database that are called by triggers on-insert, on-update etc.
If anybody has any ideas how I can solve this I would be happy to hear your suggestions.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Scott.

Scott,
beside of
1) In the block properties change the Key Mode property of the block to be Non-Updatable Primary Key
2) Mark one or more columns as Primary Key in the item Property Palette - in this instance you would set the property for Empno.
Enforce Primary Key = no
Key Mode = Unique
Update Changed Columns Only = Yes
I found a bug entry that is supposed to be fixed in Patch 9 of Forms 6i (assuming you are running 6i). So if you could try with a more recent Patch set (e.g. 14) then probably the problem will go away.

Error in Multi Record Form. Record has been updated by another User?

Hi,
I ma developing Form with 3 blocks (Control Block, Database Block, Button Block). In the Button Block i am updating one Row by calling Program Units as shown below
Select Print Id into Flag From <Table Name> Where <Conditions> For Update of <Column Name>. after calling this , i created another Program Unit as
Update <Table Name>

I assume that the table in your update statement is the same table as the one you based your block on.
You are manually updating the table, and Forms see this as an update "by another user" (even though it's you). To see the changes you made in your update statement, you have to re-query.
So, don't update yourself, let Forms do it. If you base a block on a table, everything is done for you by Forms.

Hi, Is it possible to enable Adobe ReadersX users to save filled forms without enabling them to have access to the additional features as highlighting etc?

Hi, Is it possible to enable Adobe ReadersX users to save filled forms without enabling them to have access to the additional features as highlighting etc?

You can do that with individual pdf files using Adobe Acrobat to set the security.
In Acrobat go to File>Properties>Security. Choose password security as the security method then choose "restrict editing and printing of the document..." and under "Changes allowed" choose "Filling in form fields and signing existing signature fields".

What is the Flash Player auto-update behaviour for users without admin credentials on OSX and Windows?

Hi
Does Flash Player auto-update have the ability to update systems when a user does not have administrator access on their device?
What will the results be if we enable Flash Player auto-update on OSX and Windows systems where:
1. Users are log in with accounts that DO NOT have administrator access; and
2. Internet access is granted via a proxy server, but only when a user with NO administrator credentials is logged in.
Thanks in advance.

So there's no way to completely turn off user notification AND allow background updates unless you use a locally hosted update server? That's too bad.
Reading page 26 of the manual, I see there's an mms.cfg file that you can configure, with an option SilentAutoUpdateEnable, which is described on page 32:
SilentAutoUpdateEnable
SilentAutoUpdateEnable = [ 0, 1 ] (0 = false, 1 = true)
Availability: Flash Player 11.2 for Microsoft Windows, and Flash Player 11.3 for Macintosh
Enables a Flash Player update to install silently in the background with no user interaction. Installs both the ActiveX and plug-in players when appropriate. This type of update is called a Flash Player background update.
Standard users cannot disable background updates if they are enabled by an administrator.
Depending on the type of browser, if the user has a browser open at the time of an update, the browser might not use the updated player immediately. For more information, see "Performing a background update" on page 19.
The default value is 0 to disable background updates.
So you're saying that even if we enable this option (but don't configure a local server), users may still be prompted some or all of the time?

Help needed for dynamic update form

I could really use some advice - I've been asked to build a time tracking application (basically a timesheet) and I have a fair bit done but the part I am really struggling with is the best way to accommodate some of the specifications. I am NOT a programmer (I have some coldfusion experience but nothing really advanced) so I have not managed to sucessfully integrate the various methods I've found on the web so far. The database is created and so are all the queries, and I have also written a cfc to handle the drop-down menu logic needed but I don't really know how to integrate it with the form.
Our production server has ColdFusion MX7 so all the great functionality in the CF8 examples I can't use.
The issue is the user should ideally be able to add/edit/delete multiple rows at once- I like CFGRID, and the HTML version seems best. The main issue with the Flash version is the scrolling to get to the insert/delete buttons- I couldn't see how to get rid of that. A separate add and edit form could be ok depending on how easy it is to use.
One problem I have is that I can't work out how to have default values with the grid (the userID which is a session variable, and the date which is constantly changing- there is a cfcalendar for the user to change date).
The biggest hurdle is the related select drop-downs I need- it's not quite as simple as the city,state,postcode examples. For the first drop down the pick an option- and for only 2 of those options there is a second drop-down. Anything else and it stops there. For the second drop-down, there are 2 options, and depending on which one of these they pick the 3rd drop-down pulls a query from one or another table in the database (2 entirely different things). The three options have different database tables. The main timesheet table just stores the id number from those tables (so I also need to display the names on the drop-down from the options tables not the number).
I played with simple and complicated javascript and coldfusion solutions as well, but because it's a form to update records and also because of the above specs I just couldn't get anything to work right. I tried binding with the cfc and nothing would bind, plus I don't know how to make all happen without a page reload.
Does anyone have any advice for the best approach to this? As I mentioned I've got tables, queries and even a cfc but I'm not too clear on how to put it all together properly within the constraints of MX7.
PS I also can't post a lot of code because of where I work- I know that's not helpful but am looking for the best approach to this, then I can work on the details. Right now I am jumping from solution to solution and not getting anywhere.

Well, a lot of code has come and gone because I couldn't make it work, where I'm currently at is:
<cfform name="updateform" id="updateform" action="#CurrentPage#?#CGI.QUERY_STRING#">
<cfgrid name="MainData" height="400" insertbutton="add" deletebutton="remove" query="getMainData" insert="yes" delete="yes" rowheight="20" selectmode="edit" format="html">
<cfgridcolumn name="id" display="no">
<cfgridcolumn name="userID" display="no">
<cfgridcolumn name="entrydate" display="no">
<cfgridcolumn name="activityID" >
<cfgridcolumn name="typeID">
<cfgridcolumn name="projectID" values="#ValueList(getProjects.id)#" valuesdisplay="#ValueList(getProjects.name)#">
<cfgridcolumn name="time" width="10">
<cfgridcolumn name="comment" width="150">
</cfgrid>
<cfinput type="hidden" name="entrydate" value="#Session.username#">
<cfinput type="hidden" name="entrydate" value="#editdate#">
<cfinput name="update" type="Submit" value="Update">
</cfform>
** for some reason getProjects.name doesn't work and causes an error. I haven't worked out how to get the default inputs for the date and user ID to work either. I also tried binding and a flash form somewhere along the way.
** the CFC is below, #ds# didn't work and I had to put in the actual DSN name, not sure why, but anyway this is the logic of the thing. Ideally I would like to use this logic with the cfgrid, but I'm not sure if that is possible? It seems like it would be the most user friendly approach.
The CFC so far is:
<cfcomponent>
   <cffunction name="getActivities" access="remote" returnType="query">
        <cfquery name="getActivities" datasource="#ds#">
SELECT * FROM timesheet_activities
</cfquery>
        <cfreturn getActivities>
    </cffunction>
    <cffunction name="getTypes" access="remote" returnType="query">
    <cfargument name="Activity" type="any" required="true">
    <cfif ARGUMENTS.Activity EQ "">
        <cfset getType = "">
    <cfelse>
        <cfquery name="getTypes" datasource="#ds#">
        SELECT * FROM timesheet_type
        </cfquery>
    </cfif>
    <cfreturn getTypes>
    </cffunction>
    <cffunction name="GetProjects" access="remote" returnType="query">
    <cfargument name="Activity" type="any" required="true">
    <cfargument name="Type" type="any" required="true">
    <cfif ARGUMENTS.Activity EQ "" OR ARGUMENTS.Type EQ "">
        <cfset LstProjects = "">
    <cfelseif ARGUMENTS.Activity EQ "1" OR "3">
    <cfquery name="getProjects" datasource="#ds#">
SELECT id,name FROM projectsa
WHERE completed = 'false'
</cfquery>
<cfelse>
<cfquery name="getEProjects" datasource="#dse#">
SELECT id,name FROM projectsb
WHERE statusID = '6'
</cfquery>
    </cfif>
    <cfreturn getProjects>
    </cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
Any attempts to actually use the cfc didn't work. I tried to use it with a normal html update form and got the message- failed to bind, Activity didn't exist. I also tried to bind it to a flash grid. The argument for Activity needs to come from the drop-down Activity type selected. Maybe I'm missing something.
ETA:
just moved everything to the live MX7 server (because my dev server is Coldfusion8) and I get the following:
Attribute validation error for tag CFGRID. The tag does not allow the attribute(s) BINDONLOAD,BIND.
Does this mean I definitely can't use the CFC with the cfgrid on MX7? Or is there a way to do it?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Multiple check boxes in an update form

I have a database of the membership of a club. One field in the database is input by checking multiple check boxes. When the insert member record is submitted and multiple check boxes are selected, the information becomes an array of text separated by commas. When the user goes back to the update form, the check boxes are not showing checked in the appropriate fields. Please go to my test site where you will be able to see the code that I have created so far: http://www.usreboot.com/phphelp.php. You will need a user name and password to look at the update record page. Here you go: user name: wyane, password: wayne. I have submitted this request in the past and have not found success so far. Thanks for your help, Wayne Rowlands

Thanks for getting back with me. I do have two tables. One table is the "members" table where all the information for the members is stored. One of the columns is "currentClubPositions". The database has another table which is "positions" which has the list for the positions that a member of the club could serve on. Members of the club may be serving on a number of positions at once, therefore the check boxes. Also, the club is adding and deleting positions over time, so I wanted an easy way to add them and delete them without having to go into phpmyadmin to do this. I have created a form that updates the "positions" table. The check boxes that show up in the insert member record and update member record are dynamic so that when the table "positions" changes, the forms change dynamically as do the queries to sort the database change dynamicaly. When the check boxes are entered, I use the implode function to make the values an array of text separated by commas and that value is inserted in one field of the members table named "currentClubPosition". I am all ears to hear a better way. Take a look at the web pages (see the original post) that I have created and you will see how all this ties together. Thanks, Wayne Rowlands

System error: RSDRC / FORM AUTHORITY_CHECK USER NOT AUTHORIZED 0SAL_DS01 0S

Hello
I have a big problem, I a have active the ODS 0SAL_DS01 with the update rule 0CRM_SALES_ACT_1.
I have upload the data without problem.
When I want to see the data I have this message :
Your user master record is not sufficiently maintained for object Sales Org
System error: RSDRC / FORM AUTHORITY_CHECK USER NOT AUTHORIZED 0SAL_DS01 0SAL_DS01
Can someone help me please?
Regards.
Farchid

Hi Farchid,
You need auth for the SalesOrg Auth object that is securing this ODS. In RSSM, you can enter 0SAL_DS01 in the check for InfoProvider box and then click display. You should see a check mark against this auth object for SalesOrg. Makre sure that you have the related role assigned to your ID.
Hope this helps...

Refresh InfoPath form without closing it

Hello, i'm trying to refresh a section in infopath list form without closing the form. I don't want users to close and open the form again to see the field data. how can i get this done????

Hi Fadnan,
I understand that you want to refresh the InfoPath form without closing it in SharePoint.
I recommend to edit the form and add a Update Form button which is used to refreshes all data in the form.
You can set the Update Form button action by adding a button control to the form, and then going to the
Properties for the button control. The Update Form button action is located in the
Action drop-down list box on the Button Properties dialog box.
