Using data collected on a form and updating a database

I have created a form using Lifecycle Designer ES 8.2 to allow users to populate with information and send it to a central control point. I would like to take the information from the pdf form and then allow the user at the control point to update database tables in either an Oaracle or SQL Server Database using ODBC connectivity.
Does anyone have knowledge of how best to make this work?

Is there a way to export the data collected with PDF forms, and saved via FormsCentral, into a MS Excel or Access file format?

or Is there another place to save data collected by PDF forms other than FormsCentral? e.g. another database on the web server that presents the form?

Hi,
Yes, you can export user responses into an excel file. To do that, open the responses tab, select Files -> Export Responses and select Microsoft Excel to export response data into.

How to store forms and reports in database

Hi friends,
How to store the forms and reports in database?
when i save a form in database it doesnt prompt with any message
and when i try to retrieve from the list it prompts me with a
message
can anyone suggest me the methods of storing the forms in the
database and retriving from it.

I believe this will help you
To store forms & Reports in Database you need to run some
scripts which are shipped with Oracle
To install the SQL scripts:
Start the Oracle Installer and select Custom Installation or
Removal from the Oracle Developer Installation Options dialog
box.
Select Oracle Developer Database Tables from the Available
Products list.
Click Install.
Installing these scripts creates a Start menu item called Oracle
Developer R6.0 Admin and the associated submenu items Oracle
Developer Build, Oracle Developer Drop, Oracle Developer Grant,
and Oracle Developer Revoke. These menu items, when selected,
run a script or a series of scripts to perform database
administration tasks.
Note: I tried to store forms in the database by creating tables
but in forms fmb will store in database & fmx will store on
clients machine so you have to install fmx on all client machines
I tried to store fmx in database but..................!
If any body knows how to store FMX in database let me know.

Can I query WMI using Data Collection Form ZCM 11 Sp2

I'm very new to ZenWorks and I'm trying to query WMI from the Data Collection Form in an admin defined field.
I read somewhere that you can query WMI in a similar fashion to querying a registry key but not getting results.
Any help would really be appreciated.
Thanks.

Andrea,
To Do? Clicking on a Button on Sales Order -> Opens a PO form, and selects the row?
In the eventhandler of a button click if the PO is not linked to SO by SAP B1 standard functionality
step 1. call ActivateMenu ("2305") of Sbo_application , this opens the PO form
step 2. Change the form to Find mode
step 3. enter po number to the Item UID "8" which is the document number.
step 4. Send enter key, or Clikc On button UID "1" which finds the PO
step 5.read the value from SO form, from matrix "38" line where you selected
step 6. use the code above to locate the line in PO (use # column for position numbers which UID is 0)
at step 5, i think you should select a line from SO matrix which you would like to open.
IN sales order, If you used PO chekcbox on logistics tab to create the PO, you can find a direct link between PO and SO (only in docentries are linked not positions) on sales order, Column UID 158 field name: potrgnum. If this connection is exists, you have an easy way:
SO form, when a user clicks on COlumn 158 (po number), you can implement an eventhandler, which
step 1.read the value from SO form, from matrix "38" line where you selected
step 2. use the code above to locate the line in PO (use # column for position numbers which UID is 0)
By processing theses steps, you can build up you solution.

How to use BULK COLLECT in Oracle Forms 11g

Forms is showing error that "Feature is not support in Client Side Program" when i am trying to impliment Bulk collect in Forms 11g.
i need to load full data from DB to my form becuase using cursor is very slow....
Is there any method/Work around to achieve this ....

declare
type arr is table of emp%rowtype ;
lv_arr arr;
begin
select * bulk collect in to lv_arr from emp;
/*written code here to process the data and write in to file*/
end;Unless you are inserting/updating the data you are holding in the array into a database table I don't think there is much peformance gain in using bulk-collect in conjunction with writing a file. Bulk processing will increase performance by minimizing context switches from the SQL to the PL/SQL engine, nothing more, nothing less.
In any case bulk processing is not available in forms, if you really need to make use of it you need to do it in a stored procedure.
cheers

How to use a single page for create and update mode.

Hi,
I need to develop a single page to be used for both create and update modes.
I am going to use a variable MODE
and i will set this in the emp summary page.
Based on the button clicked by the user i have to render the JSF page.
For tis if the user selects a perticular and cliks on update thn i will pass the empno to the next.
so there in the next i will appy a ViewCreiteria on my View Obj to fetch only that row so that only that emp will be displayed ion update mode.
This is working fione for me.
So now the issue is
when the user clicks on CreatEmp button.
i need to enable my VO for insert operations.
for this i wrote the code like this in the beforePhase event
FacesContext ctx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
ValueBinding valBinding = ctx.getApplication().createValueBinding("#{data}");
BindingContext bContext = (BindingContext) valBinding.getValue(ctx);
DCDataControl dcControl = bContext.findDataControl("DataControl");
Application app = ctx.getApplication();
ApplicationModule am = (ApplicationModule) dcControl.getDataProvider();
System.out.println("After Appmodule initiation");
// get the VO reference and initiate the query
System.out.println("Before Page VO initiation");
PrismDmPageSectionViewImpl vo = (ViewImpl)am.findViewObject("View");
//ViewRowImpl row = (ViewRowImpl) vo.createRow();
/* TO CREATE AN EMPTY ROW*/
Row row=vo.createRow();
System.out.println("New Row is created");
//vo.createKey(row);
vo.insertRow(row);
vo.setCurrentRow(row);
By doing this a new empty page is rendered.
But when i fill up the values and click on ok.. i am getting the error like this..
JBO-27023: Failed to validate all rows in a transaction.
JBO-27027: Missing mandatory attributes for a row with key null of type View3
JBO-27014: Attribute Id in View3 is required
JBO-27014: Attribute PageeId in View3 is required
Please point me out where i am missing.
Thanks

Hi,
In my opinion you are over complicating things.
This is what I do for using the sme page as both create and update without all this code.
1) Create a browse page containing a an adf table with a select one component bound to your view object.
2) Create an additional edit page containing only an edit form containing fields of your view object that your users must enter in order to add or edit rows.
3) Link the pages in the JSF diagram with an "edit" navigation case from browse to edit page and a "return" navigation case from edit to browse (make sure that redirect option is NOT set on both cases)
4) Remove the submit button from the edit page and add two application module bindings for the commit and rollback operations as command buttons in the form footer facet. Make sure that both buttons has an action of return and that their disabled property is set to false. You will probably change their labels to ok and cancel respectively.
5) Drop a create action for your view object from the data control palette inside your page as a command button and set the action property to edit also.
3) Set the action property of the view button to edit
This should basically work without any code from your part. -- at least it does so for me -- if you like to make it a bit more funcy you may add am action listener inside your buttons and set a requeScope variable for example #{requestScope.editing} to true or false depending on the button clicked. Then add a title to your page with a value like #{requestScope.editing == true ? 'Editing record' : 'Adding a new record'}..
Hope that helps.

Is it possible to store data collected in a form when the device is offline?

I am trying to figure out if this is possible. I want to collect email addresses via an interactive PDF when offline. ie. have a text field and submit button which would save the data to the pdf or an associated data file - txt/csv etc? Is this possible or just wishful thinking? as an alternative, is it possible to have the PDF send the data once it reaches an internet connection.
I have a feeling I am asking too much of the multitalented PDF on this occasion.
Can anyone help?

Hi,
If you are using FormsCentral Web form then, no. You could use a FormsCentral PDF form; however, you will have to save each PDF form that people fill out locally (with a different filename) and then when you are online open each form and submit the responses.

Please try out the Formscentral PDF Form and see if it works for you.
