XML forms: attachment size

Hello,
we are working with XML forms to create news. Also we have the possibility to attach km document to this news. The attachments are displayed as a link on the end of the news.
No my question. Is it possible to show the size of this attachment? Has anyone experience with this? If I use the properties I get only values from the xml file but not from the attached document.
Regards,
Philipp

You say you have troubles but, what kind of troubles?
An exception is thrown?
The read ends prematurely?

Hi Sadik,
Check this. Under Parameters of a Resource Renderer Setting,
<b>Target Window Type</b> - specifies the window that a resource is to be displayed in, if the user opens the resource, or specifies the style that the resource is displayed in.
<b>self:</b> The resource is opened in the same window.
<b>blank:</b> The resource is opened in a new window.
<u><b>fixed:</b> The resource is opened in a predefined window. See Target Window Name.</u>
<b>favorites:</b> The resources are displayed in the same style that is used to display entries in the favorites list.

How to display attached file size in XML Forms

Hi,
I've created a XML form to store presentations general information like author, subject, summary and a RID field pointing to the ppt file itself.
I'd like to show the size of the ppt file but I don't know how... Any ideas?
When I use default:size property, the size showed is the XML size, not the ppt size.
thanks,
Marcelo

Hello Sudip,
Which is the JRE version which you are using ? Check this SAP note 1341069, which specifies that the properties will not load when JRE 1.6 is used. (Try 1.4 or 1.5 )
For author field try giving caption $sap_user, and schema reference, creator. For created which is date try giving /Properties/default:created, and /Properties/default:createdby for created by.

Reducing the file size of an XML Form

We have created and launched a number of PDF Forms (created in LiveCycle) for our contacts to download, complete electronically, and email or fax back to us. The problem we are running into is that our email client allows us to only receive files that are 10 MB and smaller. We are finding that many of our PDF Forms that end-users are completing online cannot be emailed back to us because the file size is too large....which creates a problem.
How do we troubleshoot this? We cannot seem to optimize in Acrobat because we receive an error message that says, "This PDF contains an Adobe XML form. Such PDFs cannot be optimized."
HELP!
Thank you!

If possible, don't embed fonts.

Attaching Javascript function to Buttons in XML forms

Hi ,
Can anyone tell me how can we attach Javascript function or code in XML forms ?
Cheers
Nitesh

Hi Nitesh,
If you use a label with style urBtnStd urTxtStd you can make a link that
looks like a button which will fire the URL in the Hyperlink property. The
XMLFB tries real hard not to let you put Javascript in there for security
reasons. I tried some attribute tailgating, but it filters those kinds of tricks
out. (This is where you try to try to sneak in another attribute at the end
of one attribute value by inserting a quote character). You could also
hand patch the XSL, but this will get overwritten with the next build of
the XMLFB project.

How to reduce a PDF document that contains an Adobe XML form?

Hi,
I have created some fillable PDF files using Adobe LiveCycle Designer and used Adobe Acrobat Pro XI to save it as Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools (includes form fill-in and save)…
The form includes image, text field, check box, radio button, table and other controls, as well as java scripts behind. The files are from 1 to 3 MB in size. I tried Reduced Size PDF and Optimized PDF, but I got a message: “This PDF document contains an Adobe XML form. Such files cannot be optimized.”
My questions are:
Is there a way I can reduce the file greatly, say about 100 KB?
And after the size reduced, does it still keep the original quality in format and function?
Thanks

Hi,
if you only use default fonts like Arial or Myriad don't embed fonts into the form at all.
If you have to use a specific font because of corporate identity you should check if there are fields in your fom using other fonts like Arial.
Especially floating fields are a reason for big files as they use Designers default font even if you'll never see it in the PDF.
When using images, you should not check the "embed" checkbox, as this will save the images a base64-stream into the xml-source.
If unchecked the images are stored as hex-stream in the PDF-stream which cause a smaller file size.
Also, don't use high res images, 150dpi are far enough. You also don't need 16Bit depth as Designer only supports 8Bit images with RGB colors.

XML FORM - How to save read-only controls with a default value

Hello everybody,
I have a 3 xml forms, each one to create one type of news. I need to use 3 because each of this forms has their own controls. But the control which indicates the type of news (asociated with a KM Predefined Property) must be common in the 3 forms, in order to use it on searches.
The question is, how can I include in this forms a control:
- Visible for the user
- With a default value defined in the control properties (each form has a different value, corresponding with the type of news)
- Read-only mode
- The value showed in the control must be saved in the associated KM Predefined Property when the user clicks the Save button.
Anyone knows how to do this?
What control can I use?
I was thinking of trying with text boxes, but I don't find the way to make them unwritable (Read only mode).
It is posible using labels?
Thanks.
Kind regards

Hello Jose,
I know you responded with a question... I see it in the email, but I don't see it here! Very odd... but in response:
The first thing I do when I open the Edit.xsl file is do a 'find' for the name of the text field that I want to be read-only (in my test case, it's 'location'). Repeat the find until you see something like:
[code][/code]
Below there is where I put the new code. Mine looks like this:
[code]- <xsl:choose>
- <xsl:when test="location='' and ($editmode='create')">
- <xsl:choose>
- <xsl:when test="./xf:ValidationError/@tagname='location'">
- <input name="location" size="30" type="text" class="urEdfiTxtEnbl" id="field_1157467268006">
- <xsl:attribute name="tabindex">
- <xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$accessibilitymode='true'">21</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>3792</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:attribute>
- <xsl:attribute name="value">
<xsl:value-of select="''" />
</xsl:attribute>
- <xsl:attribute name="readonly">true</xsl:attribute>
</input>
</xsl:when>
- <xsl:otherwise>
- <input name="location" size="30" type="text" tabindex="3792" class="urEdfTxtEnbl" id="field_1157467268006">
- <xsl:attribute name="value">
<xsl:value-of select="''" />
</xsl:attribute>
- <xsl:attribute name="readonly">true</xsl:attribute>
</input>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>[/code]
I put the <xsl:attribute name="readonly"> in both places (when test, and when not test). I'm not entirely sure if that's necessary, but that worked for me.
Hope this helps,

How do I change the attachment size limit in Calendar Server 6.3, UWC, IWC?

How do I properly increase or decrease the attachment size limit with Calendar Server and all supported user interfaces to it such as WCAP, UWC (Communications Express) and IWC (Convergence)? From my experience with the Outlook Connector, there seems to be some limit imposed by cshttpd on the size of a file upload (I believe I actually got an HTTP error code back on the wcap request indicating something was too big, sorry I don't have it handy, I'll have to re-test). Additionally, it seems UWC imposes additional limits (Example: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-4440/6n6jfgcjh?l=en&a=view&q=fileSizeHardLimit) but I can't seem to get those to work at all. I found many different web.xml related to UWC and I'm not sure which one to change, I tried a couple but had no success because UWC would always report this error if I uploaded between 4-5 megs: com.iplanet.jato.util.WrapperRuntimeException
Root cause = [java.io.IOException: Request cancelled because file input field
"importFile" size is over the configurable limit of 4194304 bytes; see filter init
parameter fileSizeHardLimit]
And it would complain about requestSizeLimit I think if it was over 5 megs, claiming that limit was 5242880. IWC gives a generic error when the upload is too big and rejects it.
I fear that a 4 meg limit will be too imposing and of limited value, so I would either like to raise it, or consider lowering it to 0 bytes so attachments cannot be used at all. I have been looking high and low for information on how to do this and all I can find is the UWC examples. I plan to support the Outlook Connector, UWC, and IWC so the limits should ideally be the same across each. Some of the Exchange data we wish to import does have some attachments so it would be good to continue support for that. I did see some other posts about quota RFEs but at this point I am not concerned about the disk consumption. Can anyone help? Thanks. Please let me know if there is any more information I can provide. I am running SCS6u1 on Solaris 10 SPARC.

Thanks!!! This is working with IWC and I am pretty sure it will work with Outlook. I didn't think to look at config options for mshttpd since I don't have it installed and ics.conf doesn't list the http.service.maxmessagesize and service.http.maxpostsize by default.http.service.maxmessagesize is only relevant to mshttpd, not cshttpd. service.http.maxpostsize applies to both.
UWC is still limiting me though; I'm sure I can reconfigure UWC if I just know which file to edit and if I need to redeploy anything. I'm using the same install paths as the SCS6 Single Host example and I'm not sure which the "uwc-deployed-path" is supposed to be. Again, thanks.If you have deployed UWC/CE to Application Server you would edit the following file and restart application-server:
/opt/SUNWappserver/domains/domain1/generated/xml/j2ee-modules/Communications_Express/web.xml
e.g.
<filter>
    <filter-name>MultipartFormServletFilter</filter-name>
    <filter-class>com.sun.uwc.calclient.MultipartFormServletFilter</filter-class>
    <init-param>

Error in Browser field of XML Form

Hi All,
We have recently upgraded our portal system from NW 7.00 (SP23) to NW 7.01 (SP09).
Post upgrade we are facing an issue in XML forms for file browser element.
On the XML forms we have an element u201Cfile browseru201D which we use for attaching documents as attachments in the XML forms.
After upgrade, when we select a document using this element u201Cfile browseru201D, the file path is getting uploaded in the field without the file name. Hence after saving the XML forms when we try to display it and open the attachment in the XML forms, it is giving the following error.
The folder you are looking for has no displayable content. You can try one of the following:
u2022 Access the folder using the Navigation user interface.
u2022 Access the folder as a Web folder. Your operating system and browser dictate whether or not this will work.
Example : Suppose we are attaching a file f1.xls in /documents/images folder, the path captured in the browser textbox is /documents/images (it should be /documents/images/f1.xls).
This was working fine before the upgrade to NW 7.01 SP09.
Our system is already running LIVE on production and we are facing major issues due to this problem. Kindly provide a solution at the earliest.
Regards,
Nitesh

XML Form Builder Show Form

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement in XML Forms, When I click a particular news item in Renderlist Form, I need to display the Show Form in the same window without opening a new window. If it is possible, please guide me, How do I do that? And also, can I specify the size of the Show Form?
Regards,
Venkatesh. K

Hi Venkatesh.
To realsize your ideas you have to build your own XSL or to customize the SAP generated XSL files. We build own XSL files.
1) It is possible to present the Show Form in the same window.
Go to the JAVA SCRIPT SECTION. It is mostly at page bottom. The function open_url_with_params(url,params) is used to open the Show form. In this function window.open(url,'_blank',params) is called. Replace _blank to desired value, e.g. _self.
2) If the Show Form opens in a new window it is possible to specify the size and position of this window.
To realize this go to the link references Show form (open_url_with_params). The function is called with the url and some parameters, e.g. toolbar=no, ... . Add the params width, height, top and left here.

René

Patricio,
I need to add another kind of functionality to XML forms. My client wants to make an upload of an attached file in one click.
In other words, doesn't want to need to first make the upload to KM and after make the link in the XML Form.
Can you give me any idea in order to accomplish this?
Thanks in advance
Patricio

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
