XML Form with WebLink

Hi all
I have an issue with the "Insert Web Link for selection" feature of the "Edit Form".
The idea is to insert a short url for another page and navigate to the given page, but this is not possible due to the Iframes.
If I insert a short url, "/irj/portal?NavigationTarget= navurl://cf1c773631c70d2" and select Target Window = Active Window, then I navigate to the given page, with the navigation hierarchy, but this is just inside the given iFrame, and not the whole browser.
So, I am looking for a way of extending the "Insert Web Link for selection" and give the "Target Window" = "parent, or refresh browser and navigate to the given page"
Any comments or ideas of how to solve this issue.
Regards
Kay-Arne

XML forms with approval

Hi All,
We have requirement of designing XML forms with some static contents to be filled by user 1 and send the same info to user 2 for approval. Once user 2 approve/rejects it, user 1 has to know about the action.
Is this requirement is fairly possible using XML forms builder ? how approvers are identified in XML forms to send the information ?
Please share your experiences in this regards. Looking forward to your kind responses.
Regards,
Anil kumar.

Hi Anil
1. Design / build your xml form as per your requirment using XML Form builder.
2. Enable the Approval process for the folder where these .xml files will be stored. (as pointed out by Noel).
3. Enable UWL functionality in the portal so that users can see if they have any items for approval.
4. Once approved, publish the document for other users to read on.
No coding in WD Java is required. You can entirely achieve this via customization and configuration.
Thanks

XML Forms with Expiring Message Date

Hi,
I need to create a XML form with Expiring Message Date i.e the messages should not be visible in the iview after entered expiring date. Kindly let me know how can I achieve this.
Thanks & Regards,
Ravi

Hello Ravi
This can be achieved through the Time-based Publishing service provided by SAP. To make sure the service is active for your repository, go to System Administration > System Configuration > Knowledge Management > Content Management > Repository Managers > CM Repository (if that's the kind of repository you're working in). Then select your repository and make sure that 'tbp' is in the list of Repository Services assigned. If not, assign that service and restart the portal.
Then, within KM Content, enter the Details menu of the folder within that repository for which you'd like this service activated, then go to Settings > Lifetime and click the 'Enable Time-Dependent Publishing' button. This will activate the service for that folder.
Then in your XML form, you can provide the Lifetime properties "Valid From" and/or "Valid To" to specify when a message should be active, and when it should expire. At that point, anyone who has read access to that folder would only see the messages that are within these active dates.
Hope this helps! For more information, see SAP's <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/e8/a9a76828b8dc469969ff450ec81ced/frameset.htm">Lifetime of Documents</a> documentation.

How to create a XML Form with confirmation Page

Hi!
I need to create a XML Form that have a confirmation page to enter de data and save it (into XML file).
It's possible to make it with the XML Forms Builder, or I need to make it manual at xml & xsl??
(Sorry about my poor english!)

Hi Ernesto,
there is currently no confirmation message available in the XMLForms EditForm. But you can use the "preview" button to show how it looks like, before you are using the "Save" button.

Formating XML formed with nested XMLELEMENT's

Hi, maybe this is a silly question, could not find an answer though...
When I use nested XMLELEMENT everything comes out in one long line, how can I do it so every level comes on a new line and with the apropriate indentation?
Also .. I need to generate a different tag depending of the value of a field in the table, what is better DECODE or case statements, does it make any significant difference...It is something like this:
select
case cdsitfam
when 1 then
xmlelement("Situacion1").extract('/*')
when 2 then
xmlelement("Situacion2", xmlelement("NifC", cdnifc))
else xmlelement("Situacion3").extract('/*')
end somexml
from BPNSo now in the second case it returns:
<Situacion2><NifC>02545222L</NifC></Situacion2>and I would like it to be
<Situacion2>
<NifC>02545222L</NifC>
</Situacion2>Not too terrible in this case I know but the nesting gets a lot more complicated..
thanks in advance for any suggestions

From 10.2.0.2 there is also an option to use EVALNAME to give more dynamic element names:-
SQL> create table mytest (id number, label varchar2(50));
Table created.
SQL> insert into mytest values (1, 'fred');
1 row created.
SQL> insert into mytest values (2, 'bob');
1 row created.
SQL> insert into mytest values (3, 'jim');
1 row created.
SQL> create table mydata (id number, dta varchar2(100));
Table created.
SQL> insert into mydata values (1, 'This is freds data');
1 row created.
SQL> insert into mydata values (2, 'This is bobs data');
1 row created.
SQL> insert into mydata values (3, 'This is jims data');
1 row created.
SQL> select xmlelement(evalname mytest.label, mydata.dta)
2 from mytest, mydata
3 where mytest.id = mydata.id;
XMLELEMENT(EVALNAMEMYTEST.LABEL,MYDATA.DTA)
<fred>This is freds data</fred>
<bob>This is bobs data</bob>
<jim>This is jims data</jim>
SQL>And if using in PL/SQL, then the EVALNAME can evaluate from a variable.

XML form SPS13 error saving form with user field

Hello gurus!
After upgrading to SPS13 all XML Forms with imput field type 'user' produce error when saving data: incorrect user id. But I select user id from user list! ID can't be incorrect.
Please, help.
bestRegards, RO-man

Hi Roman,
I am using EP 60 SPS13 Patch 3, have you installed this patch ?
You have to create a sibling node, for instance "usuario", don't forget to define it as user (data detail).
Then you add a browse object in your form, and change action property as user.
Then you establish a relation between usuario and your browse object.

Hi gazala,
Hope you are doing good.
Is the portal 7.3? can you let us know the version? Trigger 5-6 thread dumps with 30 secs interval each for your server when you reproduce the issue.

Issue in Java Scipt in XML form

Hello Experts,
I have one issue in our client portal, which is really giving me hard time to resolve.
So I have come to you experts for helping me to resolve this issue.
So below are the details of the issue.
Actually it goes like that, we are using B.Texx in our Portal Environment and most of the work is done by the users in the portal, who has author rights. Please note that Authors have the right to Edit and save the content.
Most of the things are made on XML forms, with the help of Java Scripts.
Now there is one XML form(Add General Content), through which users add the general contents and there is one template provided to the user for that content. The XML forms are integrated here with the Tiny MCE editor.
Now, there is one link (Insert/edit link) in the Tiny MCE editor, when we write some text in the body and select the text, the link in the editor gets activated and when we click on the link, a pop up comes up, in which there is a browse button, through which we select the Navigation Element Link , which takes us in the navigation of the portal content(the way it is viewed by user in the portal according to the roles ), showing us different content and we select an content and press finished. Now the selected text becomes as a link in the body of xml form, then we fill up the title and there is one preview button. When we click on the preview button, the link is displayed to us.But when we click on that link nothing happens.
Please note that if we save that form, the links appears on portal and we are able to navigate through the link.
For this I have checked the js file(xmlformpreview_redirect.js) responsible.I am sharing the code of the js file below.
// @author llaegner
// Get current URL of XML Forms Preview
// This Javascript should be included in the ShowForm Formular (old XSL Style)
// in xml forms builder in a label-field in the attribute caption
// this javascript file is then called by the Preview Button on an Edit Form, because the ShowForm is launched automatically always
// @changes by ekaraca
// Add a if-Control so a redirect will work by clicking the xml file as well
var currentURL=top.location.href;
var redirectURL="";
var startOfParameters=currentURL.indexOf("?");
if (startOfParameters < 0) startOfParameters=currentURL.indexOf("%3F");
if (startOfParameters > 0) {
     // Provide all parameters for SAP original preview iview to our new iview
    redirectURL="/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.btexx.pct.easyWCM.customer.addons.xmlformpreview"+currentURL.substring(startOfParameters);
if(currentURL.substring(currentURL.length-4)==".xml") {
     var xmluri = currentURL.substring(currentURL.indexOf("/irj")+15, currentURL.length); /* /irj/go/km/docs <---- 15 letters */
     redirectURL="/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.btexx.pct.easyWCM.customer.addons.xmlformpreview?show/test="+xmluri;
     top.location.href=redirectURL;
else {
     // If we have found something to redirect
     if (redirectURL.length > 1) {
          // Change current location and switch immediately to new iview
          top.location.href=redirectURL;
I would really appreciate if any of you experts help me resolve this issue.

Filter Predefined Properies, Feedback Search, XML Forms Show form issues

Hi all,
I have created XML forms with XML builder and I have some questions.
1. When filtering by predefined properties I want to filter by two properties, which are the same. For example, if there is a publication with two authors and author is the predefined property, in the first field I write the name of the first author, in the second field I write the name of the second author, the result is all publications, which are by both authors and all publication, which are either by the one, or by the other.
I don't have this problem when I filter by two different predefined properties. For example the author and the year. Than the result is all publication, which are by the author AND published in the requested year.
How can I set this option to be able to filter by two same predefined properties and the relation between both properties to be AND?(only publications by both author)
2. In the Show form I have created link to the feedback, using XML Forms BUilder, but I need to write first the feedback to be able to see already existing feedbacks,
if there are any. In the ResourceRendering Form I have created link to the feedback by LayoutSet, where I can see first, if there are already existed feedbacks.
If there is any possibility to set a LayoutSet for the Show Form or any other way in the Show form to display first the existing feedbacks and than to be able to write a new.
And something else reffering to the Show form, is it possible to rate the item from Show form or at least to have link to the rating, not a link to the Details.
I have tried to create a link to the /Properties/col:rating, but it doesn't work. The link dispays the value, if it has been already rated.
3. Is it possible to search for any information in the feedbacks(to make the feedback searchable)?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Best regards,
Zlatina

Hi Zlatin,
-> 1
By Default identic properties queries are connected by an 'OR'.
Please have a look into the documentation for further info.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/85/80b3d4c9ef11d5993e00508b6b8b11/frameset.htm
-> Search Options
So far it's not possible to connect two identic proerties by an 'AND' within the standard.
You can preset a search filter via the relevant Search Option Set.

Display Values of predefined properties in XML Forms

In EP60 SP11 we have created several XML Forms with XFBuilder. In these forms several metadata properties are used which have predefined values available via a metadata extension. Everything works fine, except for the display of the predefined values. The "Show" and "List" forms of the XF Project display the value keys in stead of the value labels. For example, the value key "countries_EN" is displayed in stead of "United Kingdom". This problem also seems to be eminent when using static combo boxes. How can we proceed in order to have the value labels displayed in stead of the value keys??
Thx Caspar

Hi,
You might have to use the control selector and add a condition...
ie. if the condition is "countires_EN" then the caption will be "United Kingdom"
Cheers,
Vic

Urgent - XML Form Builder - lnode

Hi,
Strange behaviour, i created a new XML Form Project and have defined a schema with some nodes (day, month, year, lead, body, link under root node), for data schema.
I build the Edit form and run it, everything works fine until push save button, when i do this, i get an error message saying that "..star-tag link different from end-tag root...".
I made some changes until i find that by simple removing the node link from data schema, everythings works fine, if put it again, gives the same error message.
Is there any limitation of using a node link, under root node of data schema? Any one tried?
EP6 SP11.
Thanks and Regards,
John

Hi Darin,
Changing the node name link to another think, was my first thought, but there are 2 issues:
- What's the reason why a node named link doesn't work?(Looks like a "bug")
- I have upgraded the portal from SR1 SP09 to SP11, and in SP09 i have already created some items with XML Form with this structure, and because of the upgrade, i have already to change all the XML Forms, because listShow and listEdit doesn't work anymore, and now, for some strange reason i can't see my old news, because doesn't accept de node named link and i can't rename the node named link, because this means that i have to re-save all old news items.
Other think is, all XML Forms, incluind the standards ones, HTML editor are not working, clicking on any option available(Bold, Italic, ...), gives a message saying "[Object required]".
If you get another thought on this, please tell me.
Thanks and Regards,
John

Approval process in XML forms

Hi,
I am implementing XML forms with approval process.UI have created a news. and it goes to the folder /documents/news2
For Folder "News2" I have permission to one USER "Preeti " as approver.Everyone is Read access
Service Permissions that "Preeti" has Full control.and evryone "Unsubscribe only"I could not see option no service
Approval process has step of approving from user "Preeti"
I could now see the edit delete approval in the iview but for the authors and users with system admin role also the iView has option of Submit for approval and Skip approval.
Also I tried creating new user and for that the NEwsApproval iView does not show the link to create news.as shown in your fig.
So I want that the author only should see teh link submit approval and not skip approval.All other users even though a system admin but not a approver should not see that Submit approval.
Please request you to help me.

Hi Preeti,
                To see the 'New' link the user should have write access to that folder. Only then they can create xml items using the form.
                If you dont want to show the skip approval link to any one including admin, you can advance copy the layout set "NewsExplorer" and remove the command from resource command group.
               The approver also gets the submit for approval option and if he selects it, the document is sent to his own UWL for approval, if he is the only approver, otherwise sent to the next level approver.
