Using XFA javascript to refer to Data Connection data

Is it possible to use XFA Javascript to refer to Data Connection data, without referring first to a field which is bound to a Data Connection.
The aim of this is to track changes of certain fields by comparing a fields "newText" to the Data Connection's field.
Also, is it possible to have Acrobat save data back to the data connection (ie. change the data connection data to reflect changes in the current form)

Additionally, does anyone know of any documentation (preferably free) detailing the use of XFA Javascript in LiveCycle.

Interpolated Data-Connecting Data Points

Does anyone know how to connect data points that are not sequential? For example, if I have a column with 15 cells and data in cells 1, 5, 8, 10, and 15. When I chart that data, I want those points to be connected with a line, rather than plotted as individual points. In Excel, you select interpolated from the main preference menu under charts. I've searched interpolation and have not found anything. I'm wondering if this function is called something different in Numbers?

The first method I posted works well if you don't need the "blank" categories/rows taking up space on your chart. But if you need to see the "blank" categories/rows, I have a table that I think will do a straight-line interpolation for you. I'm not sure it is error free but, if not, it'll be obvious when you chart it. I'm also not sure it was the simplest way to do it but a lot of the complexity was a result of my making it easy to add new rows to the bottom. I tend to brute force things so if someone has a simpler solution, I hope they post it.
Copy the table to your spreadsheet. Copy your data to the X and Y columns and your category labels to Column A. If you only have Y data then the X's must be a numeric series (like what's in the table now). Plot your X-Y (or Y-only) data as one series and the interpolated column as another series. Change the interpolated data points to "none" and change the line color if you want to (which I did not do below).

Using xfa.resolveNode with tables

I use xfa.resolveNode when working with fields in a subform. I am trying to do the same with a subform in a row in a table, but am getting a null error. Can I use xfa.resolveNode to refer to a field in a table e.g. xfa.resolveNode("subform.field")?
Thanks for any assistance with this.

How to export only the form field data in an XFA form when data connection is used

I have used xml data connection to populate the values in the dropdown. The data to be loaded into the DropDown is very large , So I have used data connection using xml scheme.
Then I used export data functionality to export all fields in the form to xml.Insead of exporting all the fileds it just export the values of the dropdown which has been binded through Xml Schema.
I am not having the licenced version of Adobe Life Cycle. Could you help me solving this issue ? I just want both the data binding and the export data functionality.
Thanks & regards,
Karthikeya

If you could use the below command you can get all the field values from the form.
xfa.data.saveXML("pretty");
Thanks

Using several data connections in one SSIS data source?

I am loading data from several SQL Server 2012 databases into a datamart. Currently, I am simply using sql sources and destinations for that. However, some of the queries require JOINs between the source databases. Therefore I currently refer to the databases
within the command text of the sql source, e.g.
SELECT t1.Field, t2.Field
FROM [server1].[db1].[dbo].[table1] t1
JOIN [server1].[db2].[dbo].[table1] t2 ON t1.Table1Id = t2.RemoteTable1Id;
This is flawed, since all the sql commands have to be changed if the database or server names change. It would be far better to refer to connections which can be changed on package level and my question is how to get that done.
One way I can think of to get that done is to use several sql source queries and join the data with SSIS join operations. For that all current data flows need to be reworked and I am unsure about the performance when joining large databases compared to the
performance of a single t-sql query.
The other approach would be some dynamic sql stuff which I want to avoid whenever possible. However, if it was possible to use a parameter to insert server/database into the sql command somehow, then that could be an option.

Whatever you're doing now is a bad practice inside SSIS. You should be using data flow tasks for this if data come from different sources and use connection managers pointing to each of them. You add these connection properties as config items which will
enable you to change them from outside package based on your environment
If performance is your concern you can go for staging approach where you bring deltas(changes) alone on daily basis and then use it in the comparisons with destination tables using MERGE or T-SQL for set based processing. You need to have audit columns in
your tables for this though.

Using SQL Server credentials with Secure Store Target Application for Data Connection in Dashboard Designer

[Using SharePoint 2013 Enterprise SP1]
I would like to use SQL Server credentials in a Secure Store Target Application, and
this page makes it look like it's possible but when I attempt to use the new Target Application ID as authentication for a Data Connection in Dashboard Designer, I get a generic "Unable to access data source" with no error logged in SQL Server
logs.
I am able to use a Target Application with AD credentials to access the SQL db without a problem. Suggestions?

Hi,
1. Make sure that the credential is set to
Secure Store Target Application. Navigate to the Central Administration. Click on the
Application Management. Click on the Manage Service Applications. Click on the
Secure Store Service Application. Select the application ID and from the ECB menu click on the
Set Credentials. Enter the Credential Owner, Windows User Name and the
Windows Password.
2. Make sure that in the Dashboard Designer “Use a stored account” is selected in the “Authentication” and the proper application ID is mentioned.
Please refer to the link below for more information:

Submit data using Jquery/Javascript during button click

submit data using Jquery/Javascript during button click

Hi,
From your description, my understanding is that you want to restrict edit form with jQuery/JS.
If you want to restrict the default edit form with jQuery/JS, you could refer to these steps below:
Enter your editform.aspx.
Add below code under <asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderId="PlaceHolderMain" runat="server">.
Save this file.
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.1.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function PreSaveAction(){
if($("select[id$='DropDownChoice']").val()==""){
alert("please choose a value!");
return false;
return true;
</script>
The screenshot below is my result(it will not save data after clicking OK in the message alert):
If you customize your list with InfoPath, you could check the checkbox “Cannot be blank” under Validation section or add a rule for your validation as the screenshot below:
In addition, you could check your code with pressing F12 to debug your code.

Hi,
With regards to your statemetn "SDN downloaded document says to Generate Webservice URL through ABAP" <- can you tell me more please? references/links/attachment?
As far as I am aware, that the type of web service required for integration it a 'normal' Netweaver Web app server web service.
There are limitations about the complexity of the WSDL - see Notes:

also , changes between SAP versions requires reworking the WSDL

I have seen the Apple webpage suggesting the "five R's" (including restore). Before doing anything, I want to be sure that restoring or any other action is not going to delete or risk my data.
I would be very grateful if anyone can suggest a fix for this problem, in a way that will not risk my data.
Thanks in advance!

Did you try a hard reset with the iPod still connected to your PC? Have you tried multiple USB ports, preferably high powered USB 2.0 ports?
To do a hard reset, first make sure the hold switch is in the Off position, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
Have you also worked through each and every single troubleshooting suggestion in this Apple support document?

How do you configure the set of port to use for FTP passive data connection

I was able to start the ftp server xml db and connect to it locally. When I tried to connect to it from home, I was able to log in but when i do a "get" command the sessions hangs. I also tried passive mode and do a "get" command and it gives me a connection refused error. I am using the default port 2100. I think this might be a firewall issue with the data connection port. I am not sure which range of ports to open for the passive ftp connection on the server side or where to go and set them for for the ftp server to use? Or this issue might not be firewall related??? Any thoughts. Thanks.

This is a typical problem with VPN/Firewall software and FTP on ports other than 21.
When you open the FTP data connection the FTP Server identifies which port the data will be sent on using the PORT command which is sent on the command port (typically 21 with a normal FTP server, 2100 by default with XDB). THe client then opens that PORT to accept the data (file, output of an ls etc).
As I understand it most VPN/Firewall are configured to monitor 21 for 'PORT' requests. They then understand to allow connection on the PORT number passed on the command PORT. Hence with Port 21 firewall / VPN software is not a problem. However since the XDB command PORT is something other than 21 they do not see / honour the PORT commands from the server and hence the client cannot open the data connection on the specified PORT
As to how to solve it, I wish I knew (After 5 years I still can't use XDB FTP from home to a machine in the office once the VPN tunnel is open :( ). I'm sure it's going to be firewall / VPN software specific and may need the VPN servers to be configured.
The best bet would be to run the FTP server on 21...
Add the following line to your listener.ora file
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP) (HOST = hostname) (PORT = 21))
(PROTOCOL_STACK = (PRESENTATION = FTP) (SESSION = RAW)))
and then restart the listener as root
Start the listener as root.
At the operating system prompt, enter tnslsnr with optional command line arguments. The usage is as follows:
tnslsnr [listener_name] [-user user] [-group group]
where:
Table 4-3 tnslsnr Utility Options
Option Description
listener_name
Specify the name of the listener. If omitted, the default name LISTENER will be used.
-user user
Specify the user whose privileges the listener will use when super user (root) privileges are not needed. After performing the privileged operations, the listener will give up root privileges irreversibly.
-group group
Specify the group whose privileges the listener will use when super user (root) group privileges are not needed. After performing the privileged operations, the listener will give up root group privileges irreversibly.
The listener will temporarily switch to the provided user and group immediately after startup. All subsequent operations will be done with the specified user and group privileges, except the system calls necessary to listen on configured endpoints. The listener will revert to super user (root) for a short period of time to listen on reserved addresses, such as TCP ports less than 1024. After the listener starts listening on all of its endpoints configured in listener.ora, it will switch to the specified user and group irreversibly. Therefore, the listener will give up the root privilege that it initially had. In the current release, -user and -group command line arguments only accept user and group identifiers specified in numeric form.
For example, to execute a root listener called mylsnr and have it use privileges of a user identified

Using CRUD procedures to update data and ref cursors to return data

Hi:
I am currently evaluating Apex 3.x to replace an existing app that uses lots of procedures to update and return data.
1. Is it possible to return data from a function that returns a cursor (or from a procedure that has an input/output ref cursor parameter for that matter) ? Example: Let's say I have the following function in a package:
function get_data return sys_refcursor
is
l_cursor sys_refcursor;
begin
open l_cursor for select sysdate as field from sys.dual;
return l_cursor;
end;
Can I add a page with a table that is populated based on this function? Based on my research it is not possible, but I want an APEX expert to confirm it
2. The old application uses CRUD procedures to update date, that is for each table there are 3 procedures, insert update and delete. Question: is it possible to channel all the update, inserts and deletes through these procedures? Furthermore, in lots of cases I use sequences to populate the primary keys, and the new value is returned as output parameter. Can I retrieve the output value and use it maybe in the next page I am branching to?
In the samples that I've seen the same form is used for insert and update. How do I distinguish between the two modes?
3. Can you please point me to some samples that show how to do 1 & 2. The standard samples that I've seen use the automatic row processing.
4. Could you please recommend some good books about Apex or HTML db? I found the documentation unintuitive. It is hard to picture quickly how things tie together by reading this documention. I wish the documentation was more task oriented and presented 'how to...' implement generic patterns used in web apps.
Thank you in advance
