Hello
I have developed a pdf form using livecycle designer and it has a submit button in it. The form is published to our organization website. What we would like to do is, when the user opens and fills up the pdf form either on web browser / or after downloading to their desktop, users should be able to post the data in the form directly into our IMS database. Our users are not connected to our organization network but just to the internet.
I understand that we need to use a Submit button with 'Submit As' property set to XML. IMS connect is an IBM interface that would read this xml and pass the data to the database. But, what I would like to know is the architecture and how the components communicate here. i.e. for our design document.
I am assuming that we would need to lay out these components on the diagram but not very sure of the order in which the data is flowing from client to the database.
1. Web browser
2. Internet Connection
3. Webserver (this is where the org. website is and the form is located on the website)
4. LiveCycle ES sitting on an application server?
5. Database tier.
Appreciate if anyone could tell me exactly the steps and the data flow.
