XML Forms Builder - Create XML in external System

Hi,
Is it possible to create a XML file in a system external to Portal (the DataModel is the same) and after uploading it to the Portal and obtain the same behavior (rendering) of a XML created in Portal by the form generated by XML Forms Builder?
I've tried to do it, but the file is not rendered as expected.(It appears the XML File but not rendered by the XSL generated by XML Forms Builder).
Regards,
André

I found the solution in the following threads:

Hi
1) data schema not expanding ?
check ur JRE version installed on ur computer.
some JRE version doesnot support XML Forms builder functions.
my JRE version is 1.5.0.70. It really works here .
upgrade or degrade the version of JRE in ur computer will solve ur problem.
2) Error: The edit form does not contain a save button or link
Warning: The name property is not referenced. A GUID will be used as the XML file name.
This is something to do with u.
have a look at the manual how to create the XML forms builder onceagain will solve ur problem.

Creating tabs in XML Forms builder

hi all,
is there anyway we can create a form in xml forms builder with different tabs? would that require manual coding?
thanks!

Hello Samer,
the XMLForms buidler does not support tabs.
Manual changes to the files created by the XMLForms build is not recommanded, because you would loose all your chance, if you make afterwards a change within the Forms builder.

Creating radio buttons in XML Forms Builder

Hi everyone,
I can't seem to find any instructions on how to create Radio Buttons in XML Forms builder, anyone has a link or instruction on how to?
Thanks,
Samer

Hi Samer,
So taking the example for the slides, you need first to create a new child under DataModel for the DataSchema. You can name it "Gender".
Click on the Radio Button in the Toolbar and drag "Gender" from the left hand site into the Edit Form.
It should have already a first radio button and in the box on the bottum right you should see the reference in the Schema Reference field (/DataShema/DataModel/Gender).
You can now drag a second button from the toolbar and place it behind the first one. Make sure you add the same value in the Schema Reference field.
On the Show form or RenderListItem you need a Control Selector as mentioned on slide 18. You can just use right mouse click -> Add. Go on the new item on the right hand side, and click on "Add Multiple Labels". You can choose now how many radio buttons you have, here 2.
In our example enter in one Label "Condition" = "true" and "Label" = "Male" and in the other "Condition" = "false" and "Label" = "Female".
Finally, make sure that the Control Selector has the Schema Reference also as defined above (/DataShema/DataModel/Gender).
Hope this helps,
Robert

Creating a iview for XML Form builder Edit Form

Dear Experts
I have created an XML Form builder application which has Edit from,Renderlist and Show form. I able to create a datafile in by going to content manager. My requirement is to create an iview for Edit form so that i can assignt he ivew to end user to fill this form. I dont want to give content admin to end user.
I need to create an ivew to XML Form builder Edit Form
Regards
Noel

Hi,
Now I'm confused,what do you mean with create new data? Are users editing existing documents
(as if they go to a document example.xml > edit) or they are creating new documents (as if they go
on folder > new > forms)?
The problem is, in both cases a user would need read/write permissions.
The normal flow content (data) is created in KM is as follows:
1. user is assigned to a role
2. role contains KM Navigation iView
3. KM Navigation iView executes com.sap.km.cm.navigation component
4. user chooses New > Form UI command (edit_xml_forms)
5. edit_xml_forms UI command executes its code (com.sapportals.wcm.rendering.uicommand.cm.UIXMLFormsCreateCommand) and open xml edit for the user
6. user fill the form and click Save, form is created into folder
For what I understood so far, your requirement basically asks you to go directly to step 5, it is
possible to pass a URL that goes directly to step 5, the UI command button, but if you do that
you won't have a context, so chances that it will work are slim, since a context is required to
fill the parameters asked by the app (like folder, user, permissions, etc). Even though, in some cases you can
still pass the parameters via post in the URL but you must know which service/parameters the
app asks for it, also a URL is static...
That was the create scenario, I think it's more cons than pros, users would still be
able to bypass the URL iView created for that, I'd suggest evaluating again if it's really
a problem having users access cm to manage data
kind regards,
Rafael

Hi, someone can help me with this?

Populating dynamic values in the combobox with XML form Builder.

I am trying to populate dynamic value in the combobox with xml form builder. I see the document saying create property group and document property Id with respecitive values. I am able to create the property group with system admin -> System config
-> KM -> CM -> Global services -> property Metadata -> groups with new button. and I am trying to create document property Id with value. I am not able to find the way to give value in the property. I am using EP 7.0 Sp 14. Please let me know how to sovel it

Hi
You can create new property metadata with System Admin > System Config > KM > CM > Global services > Property Metadata > Properties > New. Specify the values for this metadata as the ones you need to have in the combo box. Use allowed values parameter of the matadata to sepcify the values. Each metadata property will have unique property ID and you can map this property ID to your combo box in xml forms.
Give it a try.

Problem starting XML Forms Builder

Hi
I have a SAP EP 6.0 SP2 Patch 28 portal where I newly implemented the how to guide "How To Secure Permissions fro Initial Content In SAP EP 6.0 SP2".
In this guide I need to create a new Content Manager role, due to a SAP Note 775117.
All this seems ok, but now I am not able to start the XML Forms Builder.
I am getting an error message that says something about the <b>"Access is denied:com.sap.portal.system/applications/com.sap.km.cm/components/xfbuilder - security zone:medium_safety/Com.sap.km.cm"</b>
I have tried out several ways, then the recommendation, of implementing to get this application to be loaded, but unfortunately - this does not work.
Have anyone else reach some problem regarding this issue??
Regards
Kay-Arne

hi
navigate to systemconfiguration security Zone and to the folder as specified and change the security zone to low safety .also check with acl editor

Custom Actions in XML Forms Builder

Hello everyone,
We are starting a project to replace our current intranet with Enterprise Portal + KM + Collaboration. Our current intranet has many interactive foms developed as ASP pages for doing thinks like requesting new user ID's etc. These forms are attached to a workflow engine (Ultimus) where they trigger various workflow processes. I am exploring wherther or not these existing ASP based forms can be replaced by XML forms developed on the form builder.
Can XML forms be developed that trigger external actions like generatating a workflow? I have not found anything in the documentation so far that would indicate how this is accomplished?
Thanks,
-Matt Schababerle

Thank you Detlev, that is what Im looking for.
I knew that XML forms are primarily for document creation. I'm just trying to think 'out of the box' and find a way to convert all the ASP forms we have to a standard, portal-based format.
The forms I am reviewing are mostly simple pages that would basically validate and save the form data, then kick off a single workflow task. For existing forms, we will utilize URL iViews and link to the existing form.
For new forms, it sounds like we could probably make the XML forms builder work, but would probably be better off just creating basic .jsp or web dynpro pages to handle the data validation and external workflow submission. What do you think?
Thanks for your help!

Missing permissions to delete temporary files in xml forms builder

Hi,
we have the following problem:
A user with role content manager is using the xml forms builder. Every time, he is saving or generating a project, a error message comes up, telling him, that some files *.xml.xlb.___save_file could not be deleted. Those are temporary files which are created during editing (I guess?!).
As recommended by SAP, the content manager only has read/write permission on the used KM-folder. If the user has the role (NOT group!) Administrator, everything works just fine. The same is true when the permissions are added manually. Is this the only way to solve the problem or am I missing some configuration?
Help appreciated.
Best regards,
Hauke Siehlmann

Dear Hauke,
Hope you found a solution in the meantime for this permission issue. Hence I just give a very general comment on this. Generally such content admins are supposed to be System Principals in CM by role assignment.
By this concept and default delivery on this it is assured that users having access to administrative iViews by role assignment does also have relevant permissions. See http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/19/56f28fbd4e11d5993b00508b6b8b11/frameset.htm.
Whenever having custom specific roles this System Principal concept should be part of the design.
Best Regards, Peter

XML Forms Builder - problem with checkbox

Hi,
I have created many checkboxes in XML Forms Builder and if I want to create a new document based on this "Form" I have still checked one of checkboxes. I would like to have all empty checkboxes becasue user should check the appropriate checkboxes.
Do you know how to resolve this problem?
Thaks for help!
Regards,
Andrzej Tabara

Hi,
is it always the same checkbox that is already filled in? Is this ckeckbox based on a metadata-definition?
If yes: You could maybe have a look at the metadata-definition. Is there maybe a default-value defined?

Hi,
my problem is simular to Aditys: My Java Version is JRE 1.6.0_15. When I go to Content Managment --> Formbuilder, the XML Forms Builder starts automatically but it is not possible to open Data Schema. After downgrade to Java 1.4 I can not start the Form Builder, that means, after clicking on "Form Builder" in the Portal, a pop-up opens, but the XML Form Builder does not load.
Can you help me?
