User Data Security through forms.

Hi All,
I am working on a forms(10g) which once deployed in application env. will have different level of accesses to different users , like view,edit,etc.
could you please let me how to set up this user data security ,and access levels ...
Is this to be done through forms development , or any environmental setups required?
Any quick pointers in this regard are highlu appreciated.
Thnaks.

Hi,
you can define your user level on oracle form,but these user only work on form level not on database level direct,you can make a proper setup form or role form to provide access to different user but you must mentioned these security on each transactional form.You also make a global procedure as security which maintain security only on form.Hope it'll helpful for you.
Thanks
Baloch.

How to Chage the data format through Forms Personalization

Hi Experts,
I would like to do like,
for example in the oracle form has two fields called
start data(DD-MON-YY)
end date(DD-MON-YY)
but actullay i would like to have like
start date(DD-MON-YY HH24:MI:SS)
end date(DD-MON-YY HH24:MI:SS)
It can be done through forms personalization?
we are using Apps 11.5.8.
Please help me to do it.

Try using FORMAT_MASK property in Forms personalization
Property name - FORMAT_MASK
Value - DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS

Autonomous transaction - user updating information through form

Good afternoon,
I have a form that has a database datablock that is populated using a cursor that does a select on 4 tables, being one the most important (table A). When the user is done he commits the changes and the information is saved in table B, the "source" of the datablock.
This generates a concurrency problem: if two users give the same parameters the cursor populates the same information in their respective sessions and the information is saved twice. I want to prevent this, only one person should be allowed to use the information.
I know about autonomous transactions and perhaps this is the best idea: update the status of the row in table A in order to prevent any further uses but i want to check any other solution. Perhaps i could write the user and the time and the second person would get a message: "being used by"
Thanks,

Yes i too have read about autonomous transaction and its very rare usability.
Ok here's the situation:
Table B
code_B (number) PK
code_B1 (number PK
description
selected (Y/N), default N
more fields...
Table A
code_A PK
description
code_B NOT part of PK_A
code_B1 NOT part of PK_A
more fields
step 1: user opens form X and marks some records from table B, setting selected to Y
step 2: User open forms Y and populates block Z (table A) based on a cursor (PL/sql run through a push button) that looks for all the records from B that have selected = Y
step 3: user commits and the form updates table A with new records
this is the normal procedure but sometimes two users open form Y at almost the same time and the both populate the datablock Z with the same info.
I have thought about creating a new hidden datablock in form Y that uses table B, in order to block other users.
and these forms have been like this for years now, i did not create them and the tables have millions of records now...
This was a design flaw, not taking concurrency into account i guess
Many thanks

Implementing Security through forms/Reports

Hi
I have an application Developed in Forms.I have set of End users, who connect thru this application . I want to protect them from connecting to database apart
from this application. ie. Thry should not access data thru SQLPLUS(Client),
XLS (using odbc connections), MS access etc. But they should be able to
access data through Discoverer using their userid/password
How to achieve this??

. I want to protect them from connecting to database apart from this application. Unfortunately what you want to do is quite hard in a client server environment. The advantage of moving to web-based forms is that everything has to go through the app server, and that means users cannot get naked access to the database through SQL*plus or TOAD.
You can block SQL*Plus access using Product_user_profiles but that won't help you with ODBC.
Cheers, APC

Is it possible to view wireless user data usage through Time Capsule

I am currently running my Time Capsule connected to my internet router to provide wireless internet access to my household.
We have 5 members in the family, all with their own wireless devices (1x iMac, 2x MCP's, 2x iPhone 4's, 1x iPhone 3g, and 2x iPod Touch's).
Have recently found that our internet usage is going through the roof, and need a way to view actual data usage and time by MAC address to ascertain who the data culprit is.
Is there any that this can be done through the AirPort Utility on the TC?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Wow, that was quick — thanks! Being computer illiterate is a major pain!

HFM - log that shows if a user has loaded data via web form or excel load.

I can see any data loads that are coming from FDM, but is there a log that shows any data entered into HFM via web forms or submitted through an excel file? Any input is appreciated.
Thanks

You could enable Data Audit to capture data changes made by users, though this will not capture which method users chose to change the data. That is, HFM can show that data changed, and who changed it, but cannot tell whether the data was changed through a form, grid, smart view, or FDM. If you want to prevent users from changing data through forms, grids, or smart view, you can secure those input methods, but you cannot capture which one is used.

How to use rdbms as users data store in a form authentication webapp?

Hi,ALL!
WLS 10.3
This is part of web.xml:
<security-constraint>
     <web-resource-collection>
          <web-resource-name>secureweb</web-resource-name>
          <url-pattern>/secureweb/*</url-pattern>
     </web-resource-collection>
     <auth-constraint>
          <role-name>Users</role-name>
     </auth-constraint>
</security-constraint>
<login-config>
     <auth-method>FORM</auth-method>
     <form-login-config>
          <form-login-page>/login.htm</form-login-page>
          <form-error-page>/login_fail.jsp</form-error-page>
     </form-login-config>
</login-config>
Every time I want to access web page in /secureweb/,it takes me to /login.htm,and when I want to login on from /login.htm,it takes me to /login_fail.jsp,so I think there is nothing wrong with web.xml but WLS's configuration.
There is only one Security Realm called "myrealm" in my domain,and besides the DefaultAuthenticator and DefaultIdentityAsserter,I created a new SQL Authencator called sql_auth in front of them,after that,I created tables(USERS,GROUPS,GROUPMEMBERS) in my Oracle database accordding to the configurations in sql_auth,and insert some user data.
But it never successed when I used the data in the database to test the authentication,it allways go to the /login_fail.jsp page...
What's wrong there?
Best Regards!

Hello,these are the SQLs from the "provider specific" configuration tab in my SQLAuthenticator,in fact,it's provided by WLS,and I have never modified them:
SQL Get Users Password:SELECT U_PASSWORD FROM USERS WHERE U_NAME = ?
SQL Set User Password:UPDATE USERS SET U_PASSWORD = ? WHERE U_NAME = ?
SQL User Exists:SELECT U_NAME FROM USERS WHERE U_NAME = ?
SQL List Users:SELECT U_NAME FROM USERS WHERE U_NAME LIKE ?
SQL Create User:INSERT INTO USERS VALUES ( ? , ? , ? )
SQL Remove User:DELETE FROM USERS WHERE U_NAME = ?
SQL List Groups:SELECT G_NAME FROM GROUPS WHERE G_NAME LIKE ?
SQL Group Exists:SELECT G_NAME FROM GROUPS WHERE G_NAME = ?
SQL Create Group:INSERT INTO GROUPS VALUES ( ? , ? )
SQL Remove Group:DELETE FROM GROUPS WHERE G_NAME = ?
SQL Is Member:SELECT G_MEMBER FROM GROUPMEMBERS WHERE G_NAME = ? AND G_MEMBER = ?
SQL List Member Groups:SELECT G_NAME FROM GROUPMEMBERS WHERE G_MEMBER = ?
SQL List Group Members:SELECT G_MEMBER FROM GROUPMEMBERS WHERE G_NAME = ? AND G_MEMBER LIKE ?
SQL Remove Group Memberships:DELETE FROM GROUPMEMBERS WHERE G_MEMBER = ? OR G_NAME = ?
SQL Add Member To Group:INSERT INTO GROUPMEMBERS VALUES( ?, ?)
SQL Remove Member From Group:DELETE FROM GROUPMEMBERS WHERE G_NAME = ? AND G_MEMBER = ?
SQL Remove Group Member:DELETE FROM GROUPMEMBERS WHERE G_NAME = ?
SQL Get User Description:SELECT U_DESCRIPTION FROM USERS WHERE U_NAME = ?
SQLSet User Description:UPDATE USERS SET U_DESCRIPTION = ? WHERE U_NAME = ?
SQL Get Group Description:SELECT G_DESCRIPTION FROM GROUPS WHERE G_NAME = ?
SQL Set Group Description:UPDATE GROUPS SET G_DESCRIPTION = ? WHERE G_NAME = ?
And these are the SQLs for creating tables(Oracle 11G):
CREATE TABLE USERS(
U_NAME VARCHAR2(50) PRIMARY KEY,
U_PASSWORD VARCHAR2(50) NOT NULL,
U_DESCRIPTION VARCHAR2(50) NOT NULL);
CREATE TABLE GROUPS(
G_NAME VARCHAR2(50) PRIMARY KEY,
G_DESCRIPTION VARCHAR2(50) NOT NULL);
CREATE TABLE GROUPMEMBERS(
G_NAME VARCHAR2(50) NOT NULL,
G_MEMBER VARCHAR2(50) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT PK_GROUPMEMBERS PRIMARY KEY(G_NAME,G_MEMBER));
INSERT INTO USERS(U_NAME,U_PASSWORD,U_DESCRIPTION)VALUES('usera','passworda','userdesa');
INSERT INTO GROUPS(G_NAME,G_DESCRIPTION)VALUES('groupa','groupdesa');
INSERT INTO GROUPMEMBERS(G_NAME,G_MEMBER)VALUES('groupa','usera');
COMMIT;
I still can't see any users or groups in my SQLAuthenticator...
Thank you!

Allow reader users to save pdf form with data

I want to create a form that an adobe reader user can open and save a copy as a pdf with the data in the form. I know that requires reader extensions - what i can't seem to figure out is if I already have this included and how to do it. I have LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2 - which is the download I end up at when searching LC with reader extensions.
Does anyone have instructions on how to do this or know whether that functionality is available in the version I'm running?

You can add the Reader Extesnion right to save the form with data locally in two different ways.
1. In Acrobat Pro open the form and under the Advanced/Extend Features in Adobe Reader will walk you through a wizard. Once the wixard is finished, save the file and use that one. This technique is limited to 500 users by licence.
2. LiveCycle Reader Extensions Server has a User Interface that allwos you to pick the rights you want. There are no luser imitations to this option.
If you do not have either, option 1 is a lot simpler. You can download a trial copy of Acrobat Pro and try it.

Can I use Visual Basic to covert form user data from multiple .pdf files to a single .csv file?

Can I use Visual Basic to covert form user data from multiple .pdf files to a single .csv file? If so, how?

You can automate Acrobat using IAC (InterApplication Communications), as documented in the Acrobat SDK. Your program could loop through a collection of PDFs, load them in Acrobat, extract the form data from each, and generate a CSV file that contains the data.
Acrobat can also do this with its "Merge Data Files into Spreadsheet" function, but this is a manual process.

Can Adobe Acrobat and/or Formscentral be used to individually collect and save user data? Can user data be used to populate other forms?

I want to collect individual user data through my site and then use that data to subsequently populate PDF forms. Can Formscentral or Acrobat Pro do this?

There's not a built-in feature in either for this. With both FormsCentral and Acrobat, you have access to the form data, which can be used to populate a different form using Acrobat, but this is a workflow that you would have to customize and would involve some manual steps.

Can it be possible that a user insert data by a form and then create a PFD?

Can it be possible that a user insert data by a form, then store the data in the Data Base and finally create a PFD?
If this is possible with BI Publisher, what do i have to do to link the form with the BIPublisher interface?
Regards

Hi
If you just have a PDF form and do not need to pre populate data then all you need do is:
1. Add a submit button to the PDF - you can use the full Adobe product or a BIP API
2. Load the PDF as a template with a dummy data source.
The user can then run the "report" as usual. When they have completed the form they can hit the Sumit button on the form. Adobe will then scrape the data out of the form in an XML format and post it to the URL you added. At the other end of the URL you need a servlet to accept and process the XML data.
If you need to prepopulate the form you can attach a datasource to the PDF template but ensure the fields are preserved after running the form for the user through the config options.
BIP does have APIs to populate drop lists, etc but these are not exposed thru through the BIP UI.
I'll try and write this up for the blog and OTN soon

Child forms are not getting displayed when user is linked through the targe

I have provisioned the users to OID through OIM and we have the three child forms(USRB_ROLB,USRB_GRPD,USRB_NBNB) which work well when the user flow normally. Our normal flow implemented is that user comes from OHCM and get created in OIM and then get provisioned to AD and OID. We have also implemented the OID target recon. When we create the user directly in OID and then create the user through normal flow ie from OHCM to OIM) as expected the create user task fail as the user is already present in the OID (target system). Then after running the OID target recon the user is getting linked but its not showing the child forms in the new process form created after running the target recon.
Please let me know if you require more information.
Please let me know if anybody has encountered this issue and the steps to resolve the same

what happened when you run target recon without creating user in oim(or just create user in oim without access policy and then run target recon)? Is this work fine?
If no means you have to verify your child table mapping. But if above work then this the Produce/connector issue and may you need to raise SR

How can I enforce automatic spell checking for selected fields of data entered by form users?

I'd like to be able to enforce spell checking of selected fields in the forms that I've created using LiveCycle Designer 8.2 at run time, as opposed to design time. I understand the version LCD 8 has a nifty new spell checker for form designers. But I want to spell check the data entered by users using Acrobat Reader. And I want to enforce the spell checking automatically on selected fields only.
Presently it seems that users filling in my forms, must know how to manually right-click on each field and select "Spell Check" from the resulting dialog box in order to check for spelling errors in the data the user has entered in the form.
I would like to discover a way to enforce spell checking in selected fields, just as I am able to do in forms created using Acrobat Pro. In Acrobat Pro, I can set a property for each field to require spell checking. but that feature seems to be missing in Livecycle Designer.
I've check the Object model for XFA forms hoping that I might find a method I can call with a Javascript, to check spelling based on an event such as onBlur. But I haven't found a spell check method.
Am I missing something simple? Is there a way to set each field to be spell checked when a user is filling in the form using the free Acrobat Reader?
Our users are not sophisticated and requiring them to spell check each field separately just won't cut it...
Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
-David Bartholomew

Hi David,
Two things...
At design time set the locale of the form to one that Acrobat spell checks. For example English (US) and English (UK) locales have spell checkers; however English (Ireland) does not. Check the Warnings tab to see if spell checking is supported for your locale.
If your form locale supports spell checking then you can go to the button script below.
If you form locale does NOT support spell checking then Stephanie has a great work around to force spell checking (http://forums.adobe.com/message/2233945#2233945).
Bring a regular button onto the form and in the click event have the following:
app.execMenuItem("Spelling:Check Spelling");
Which will open the spell checker for all fields. Thanks to Paul for extracting all of the accessible menu items (http://forums.adobe.com/message/1912914#1912914).
Good luck,
Niall

Why can't users save data in fillable form created in Adobe Acrobat X Pro?

I have created a fillable pdf form in Adobe Acrobat X Pro and have everything working great. When I send it to users they can fill in all of the information, but they can not save the data in the form. I have followed these instructions before I send the form to the users: (Acrobat Pro) Type in non-fillable forms (File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features.
The form includes text fields, radio buttons, e-signatures (x).
I have researched for days, spoke to countless "Adobe Chat Room Techs" and still have no idea what I am doing wrong.
I am so desperate for help. Any advice would be appreciated.

I've created a form in LiveCycle Designer & Acrobat X, and saved it.
However, when I open it up with Adobe Reader XI, I get the following message
What am I doing wrong?
This used to be a relatively simple process, and now I'm completely confused with how I enable saving forms that others have filled out.
If I'm understanding what has been written in this thread previously, this is now normal functionality that doesn't require special settings like it had previously.
Some help would be greatly appreciated.
