XML Forms and Posting Directly to iView

Hey Everyone,
This is my first time posting a question on SDN, so please forgive me if I leave anything out.
I have a question regarding XML Forms and iViews. We are using EP 6.40 SP12.
I would like to have an XML Form filled out and have it's contents sent directly to an iView which is located on the opening screen of our Portal. The scenario is that every Tuesday the form will be filled out, saved and will appear on the user's Portal. An appropriate folder structure has been created in KM to hold all the forms, etc...
Any help would be much appreciated,
Cheers
Rav

Hi Ravinder,
After generating the forms,you have to create iViews for the Forms,Authoring iview and Render List iView.
These iViews can be assigned to users,or assigned to some page using Delta link.
The updated news will be available as a List on the Browser iView,which can be clicked to drill details.
The properties are set in the iView properties of Layout Set ,for example for authoring iView
Layout Set = NewsExplorer
For render List iView
Layout Set = NewsBrowser
Path to Initially Displayed Folder /documents/myNews
The values will change depending upon the form name.
Please go through this document for a detailed example
<a href="https://media.sdn.sap.com/html/submitted_docs/Best_Practices/EP/documentation/How-to_Guides/KM/How%20to%20create%20XML%20forms.pdf">https://media.sdn.sap.com/html/submitted_docs/Best_Practices/EP/documentation/How-to_Guides/KM/How%20to%20create%20XML%20forms.pdf</a>
This Document gives a step by step solution on using XML forms.

Images and XML forms and Images and scaling

Hello,
I have two questions about using images in XML forms.
1) How do I insert images into the XML form editor.
The thread HTML Editor in XML Form? (Posted: Aug 26, 2004 7:50 PM), discuss how the HTML Editor in XML forms can be extended to be able to insert images like in the KM editor.
Has anyone any practical experience with this?, as the thread is fairly old.
And is there other solutions which are more suited?
The portal is running on WAS 6.40, EP 6.0 SP11
2) Is is possible for the portal to scale images
In the portal, different users will use XML forms to publish news stories. These users will want to publish images along with the text.
In many content management systems, the system will automatically scale the images (e.g. create one thumbnail, a mid-size image and keep the full size) Can this be achieved in the portal.
The reason for this is to make sure that no one can post a very large image and to make sure each image is the same size.
I'm interested in hearing how other people, solve the issue with uploading and scaling of images used in the portal.
Kind regard,
Jørgen Ruud
Will reward SDN points.

Hi Sumit,
Just to add to what Duncan had said ... please ensure the following things as well
1. Access portal using FQDN
2. Maintain proper browser settings http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/EP/MSIE6BrowserSettingsforaccessingSAP+Portals
3. Please go through the forum link http://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1814082

XML Forms and Permissions

Hi guys,
I am using EP 6.0 SP14 and have a question about how to use XML Forms and permissions.
The scenario is... We have a KM Navigation iView which displays the RenderListItem form using the NewsExplorer layout set. Several people have access to this iView, so they can create new news. Also, for each news created, there are the options Edit and Delete.
The issue is that we do not want someone to Edit/Delete the news created by another person. We want only the "owner" to do this task. Two acceptable solutions would be:
- The RenderListItem only displays the items created by that particular user, allowing it to use the options Edit/Delete.
- All news created are displayed, but only the ones created by the current user will have the Edit/Delete options available
Is it possible to reach one of the above solutions using configuration only?
I found this thread:
Repository Service auto change resource permissions
But it uses Java programming, which we would like to avoid, if possible.
Thanks in advance
Fernando Urzedo

Hi Fernando,
> not familiarized with the Portal API yet.
> Furthermore, we are running low on time
Take it as your chance to get more familiar with it
Especially the KM framework has a lot of interfaces where you can extend the functionality with a lot of magic, which simply is not possible by just configuring something.
> in that third thread,
> how should I import it into portal?
"Third thread"? I think you mean the thread you have referred to?! (So: Implementing a Repository Service).
To get s solid basis for this, search on google for
Detlev "Repository Service" site:forums.sdn.sap.com
You can start implementing this by the KM (RF Component) wizard, which creates the basic implementation for you.
Hope it helps

XML Forms and URL links in RenderListItem Form

In RenderListItem Form, i would like to control the behaviour of these links. Link URL1 should open in a new window, but URL2 should stay in the same browser window.
How can i achieve this ?
Thank you in advance for any help,

XML Form and workflow

Hi ,
Can a workflow is possible by using iviews which are created bt XML form Builder ?
Aneez

Hi,
As i understand XML Form Builder helps us create a Form Template which can be used to create content easily. Content created are stored as KMContent and ones thes workflow (Approval) is set to the folder the documents are subjected to the workflow.
iViews are used to display the content from the KM Content.

XML forms and KM folders

i want to enable users to create 3 forms which are saved to a folder where administrators can approve them. however the users shouldn't be able to see what is in the folder because it is likely to contain forms submitted by other users.
the only way i can see of doing this is to create a url iview containing the xml form (edit view). the url string contains the path to the folder where the forms are stored .i.e. /documents/client_forms/
but this is a bit messy and leaves us having to maintain the url in each environment.
i thought the com.sap.km.cm.xmlformedit iview was going to do the trick but you can't specify where the form is saved.
is there any other iview template which will do this? can i create a KM navigation iview with a null renderer or something so that it only shows the create forms associated with the folder and not the actual contents?

Hi,
Yes, you can create a custom layoutset and within it a custom Collection renderer that doesn't show any resources, just the create xml commands. copy the NewsExplorer layoutset and the NewsCollectionRenderer. in your new collection renderer set the properties: Folders Selection, Files Selection, Links Selection to Off, that way it won't show any resource. assign this collection renderer to your new layoutset instead of the original one and use it in your KM navigation iview.

Hi,
I have a created an XML form which uploads a pdf from edit form and displays a hyperlink to that pdf in view.
But my problem is that when I am clicking on the hyperlink it shows me the path to the document and then when i click on it opens the document.
I don't want the path to be displayed. I am using the schema reference for the the hyperlink property.
Your help would be greatly appreciated...

Hi,
Try by changing the class property from Label to Counter. The path name will not be displayed. It will be replaced by 1.
Hope this helps.

XML forms and querying Active Directory?

Hi All
I am new to xml forms development and I am looking to have a connection to AD, so that when an form it being created you are able to select the active directory groups it relates to.
Unfortunately I have NO IDEA how this is done? Any ideas?

Michael,
Oracle Forms does support Single Sign-On (SSO). Take a look at Oracle Containers for J2EE Security Guide: OC4J Java Single Sing-On. Also take a look at the Oracle Forms 10g Sample Code and scroll to the SSO demo under the Forms Services Demo section. There are also, numerous other documents available via Google. ;-)

XML Forms and the Lifetime timestamp format

Hello all,
I have an XML form we use to create News. When the content manager creates the News item, they provide Valid From and Valid Until timestamps for the News item's lifetime. For the time, they must use military time format (00:00:00 - 23:00:00) because if they input 03:00:00 PM, in the system it will display 03:00:00 AM.
We are fine using military time... the content managers have now been trained to do this. However, when they edit an existing News item, the edit form will not display the time in military time anymore. So, for example, if the content manager originally set the Valid Until time to 15:00:00, when they edit the News item, 03:00:00 PM will display instead, and then will save it with the incorrect time (03:00:00 military time) after the change.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? I'm not sure where the trouble lies... on the XML form side? In the configuration of the KM metadata? On the server? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Fallon

Hi Fallow, did you resolve the problem?
Can you reply the solution?
