Data is not being passed

[BPM_user]

Hi all,

I have tried to prepoulate data( The first and last name of the user)on to the form using the form render service. I am invoking the render service in the initial stage when user opens the form. So for the main input form in the advanced setting I am using calling the render service. The problme is the data(users first and last name) is getting populated but when I fill the form and pass it to the next stage there is no data on the form except for the next users first name and last name which is not desired.

I do not understand the reason why the data is not being copied to the next satge. In the assign task output variable i used the same variable as input...but nothing is being copied over.



Please help me out.



Thanks in advance!

The problem is because you use the same render service for the two User steps.



The render service will render the xdp defined in the xfaForm variable. If the render service populates the form with the current user name then it will always do that no matter what step you're in.



What you can do is create another xfaForm variable that points to the same XDP but that uses a differenr render service that just uses the data from the previous step (no prepop).



So the first xfaForm varibale would only be used for prepopulation, after that you put the data into another variable that uses the standard RenderPDFForm render service.



You can use a setValue to copy the content of your first xfaForm into the second xfaForm var. Something like /process_data/xfaForm2 = /process_data/xfaForm1.



Then use xfaForm2 on the second and subsequent user step. Make sure on the render service for xfaForm2 that you set the inDataDoc to Task -> Form Data.



I hope this helps.

If you were overwriting the initial data with blank data in the render, you can modify the render to only set the values the first time it is called. You would have to have logic around that such as the username being blank.

[Jasmin_Charbonn]

Can you use the record and playback and check which step it's failing on?



You get a ALC-FDI-001-305: Operation aborted: malformed PDF or data, it looks like you're not getting the data type you're expecting.

Hi jasmin,

Thanks again. I am using 8.1 version and do not have the record and play back option. I am using the xfa data variable and the form is XDP. The data is getting prepopulated but the other data is not being passed. i cannot move further unless this is fixed. May I have ur email address so that I can send you the lca file.

Thaka a lot for ur help.

[Jasmin_Charbonn]

Try to set the data that way:



/process_data/xfaForm2/object/data = /process_data/xfaForm1/object/data.



You can send your lca to livecycle8@gmail.com. I'll load it up if I have time.

Ok, you have a few things wrong.



First you have two xfaForm variables set to be input. You can't do that. You can only have one form that start the process. Remove the 'input' for Leavemain.



The other thing you need to change is the render service used by Leavemain. It currently uses the Default Render service which only works with PDF and not XDP. That's why you get this "importData Operation aborted: malformed PDF or data" because it tries to add data to a XDP but "Import data" only works with PDF.



For the susequent user steps you want to use the original "Render PDF Form" (the one that's version 1.0) but you can't anymore since you have a 1.1 verison of that process that adds the user information to the form.



What you can do is create a new render process, I called mine Render PDF Form Original and copied the "Render PDF Form - 1.0" and used that as the render service for LeaveMain.



Once I did that it worked fine.

Thanks jasmin - Got it done finally. Used a condition to determine who has logged in first stage and in the subsequent stages only the data will be paased and the render service will not be invoked.
