XML Forms

[Former Member]

Hello All,

I'm trying to follow the XML forms exercise as noted in the following How-to article.

https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/00a1b963-5809-2b10-3695-ff112639...

I finished creating the form, but after I am done, I get stuck at the following step -

"Generate the project by clicking x. After generating the project you can use the forms in the portal. A command for creating news item appears in iViews with the flexible user interface". A picture showing the menu item - Folder -> New -> Forms -> myNews is shown. However, I only see the default forms that come out of the box like - Folder -> New -> Forms -> Frequently Asked Questions/SAP Demo News/Sponsored Link. I don't see my myNews there.

I also see the following fix noted as -

If you cannot see the command, check the settings for the form availability in the configuration (System Admin -> System Config -> KM -> Content Mgmt -> Form-based Publishing -> Forms Availability).

I add an entry in that Folder Settings in the above location. Looks something like this -

ID - App_Test_XMLFB

Priority - 9

Folder Path - /etc/xmlforms/** (that's where I found my newly created forms stored)

Forms to exclude - (blank)

Forms to Include - myNews

Even after adding this entry, I do not see any change. What could I be missing here?

Please help,

Kiran

Hi Kiran,

Did you able to get the New form into Folder>New>Forms-->(New Form)

I have few xml files (for Messages) created in my Development Portal, so I have created same xml files (for Messages ) manually in Quality Portal and made the settings at System Administration-->System Configuration --> Knowledge Management -- > Form-based Publishing -->Forms Availability --> Folder Settings

as

Id: Test_News

Folder Path: /documents/TestNews (Newly created News)

Forms to Exclude : (blank)

Forms to Include: MyNews(Existing xml forms)

Still I can't see the newly created form in Forms.

Please advice how to make it work

Thanks,

Chinna

Chinna,

Its been a few weeks that I made it work. But as much as I remember I followed http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/8f/fe743c74fa6449e10000000a11402f/frameset.htm.

And I created Global Settings too.

Hope this helps,

Kiran

Hi Kiran,

Thanks for the reply. I have xml forms working in my dev system, I have copied and pasted it to quality system using webdav URL (manually copied & pasted it to physical location).

In dev system, there are no Global Settings defined, only Folder setting are defined. I have done the same in Quality system now, but still not working.

Thanks,

Chinna.

Hi, you must enter the path for news location and not the path for the xmlform project.

For example: Folder Path --> /documents/News
