I found out that this problem was a bug (#2504275) in ES2 that has since
been fixed in ES2 SP1. If you can apply the service pack that ought to
fix your probelm.
No. In fact the concept of "category" really only applies to
organization of processes visible in Workspace so that they can be
grouped under a common theme in the UI. As for Workbench, we have a flat
list of Applications and inside each Application you can manage multiple
Application Versions. What is is it that you would like to do with
Categories or Hierarchies or services?Gary.
A while ago we built a sample that would use both Forms and Form data
integrator to merge data with a Form. Here it
is:http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/9.0/samples/ServiceUsageSampleFormDataManipulation.htmlThe
error that you report is implying that there is a class dependency
between Form Data Integrator and a package called
"com/adobe/formServer/utils" which is not installed (and I agree does
sound like the Forms Service).You should be able to use the Form Data
integratiion service to per...
That is odd. I did beleive that when you set Run As Invoker on a long
loved process, then that will set the execution context for each of the
steps that are invoked via the Work Manager (thus overriding the default
behavior) but I will double check for you (maybe it was a chnage in
behavior in ES2)
The reason for that (and sorry, I know this will not immediately solve
your problem) is that the *parent* process probably did not have a Run
As configured. Being Long-Lived it will, by default, run as "System"
after its invoker has invoked it and is no longer synchronously waiting
for a resoponse. So if you chnage the parent process to "Run As
Invoker", then I think you may see the invokers context proagate through
to the child process as well. But this difficult to manage because each
of the s...
This is not a very useful answer, but might be relevant added info: You
can browse services (that arise from your deployed processes) in the
Admin UI and configure their "Run As" behavior. The Run As can be set to
the Invoking User, a named user or System. I think you may be able to
set the Run As for any long lived process to be the process invoker,
which will in turn get passed through to any sub processes that get
called. The downside of course is that you may not really want those
processes ...
Hello,On Adobe Labs we have provided a sneak peek at many of the new
features we've been working on in Workbench. They are all compatible
with ES2. You can find more information on Adobe Labs at:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/lcworkbench_addons/These Add-ons are
a "Labs" preview of some of the new improvements we're currently working
on. It is not a formal Service Pack, so try to use it in a Sandbox
environment that is not mission critical .We'd really like to get some
feedback from you on ...
While I am not sure about Guides, here is some related infotmation that
may help you towards the answer:- If your browser session is already
authenticated to LC (i.e. you have an LC cookie) then a Flex application
can actually invoke LC services with remoting and provide SSO with the
existing logged on user identity.- There has been work done in ES2 to
allow SAML to work as a means of browser based authentication to
LiveCycle and this can be extended also to Flex applications. You can
read about...
The Wiki is up to date with the latest LCA and demo files. It could be
cleaned up a lot more but anyone wanting to re-create this demo could
see all the main processes and files invoved according to each step. If
you do want to try it out, please post a question/comment on the Wiki if
yu need help and I will see it and reply.
Techies --This week I had to produce a live ES2 demo around all things,
"Signatures" for a customer visit. You can bowse the script etc here:
https://zerowing.corp.adobe.com/display/LCAppTeam/Credit+Agricole+Visit+Signatures+DemoThere
is nothing in this demo that we have not done before, but I think it's
worthwhile to have our main themes (final form signatures, review &
approval sinatures, data signatures, roaming PDF/A etc) all gathered in
one place with decent lookiing forms and colalteral.If...
Hi Scott,The only obvious thing I can mention is that an XML Schema can
be used in a LiveCycle application. You can create an xml variable and
associate it with an XSD. That's useful of course when processing form
data that has been submitted from a PDF Form. But there are many other
reasons you might need to pass XML data around within an LC application
and such data can be bound to a schema (see the properties of an XML
variable). Sorry if that might be too obvious though The point about not
b...
In LiveCycle ES Update 1 we support the SPNEGO protocol used by Windows
to authenticate desktop users to our Web Applications (Workspace, Admin
console etc). This works in a Windows Domain using Active Directory.Also
LiveCycle can be configured to rely on SSO products that initially set a
user token identifier in HTTP Headers.Our documentation provides some
background info:http://www.adobe.com/go/learn_lc_administration_82If you
can use one of these approaches, then a nice benefit is that forms

Before you write your own app to push users into LC, please bear in mind
the way it works today:1. You can point LC to a corporate LDAP and it
will auto populate (sync) a certain user base in the directory. Its very
easy to set up2. You can write a "Directory" SPI provider that LC will
call out to in order to fetch and periodically sync users. The interface
to implement is very simple and its easy to register your SPI Provider3.
There is an admin UI to add and manage users.If none of these scena...
It's maybe easier than you think. You do not need LC Data Services in
order to use our java SDK (for UM or other LC java packages) You just
write an application that uses the SDK. Be sure though to use all the
right jar files in your class path - you can find details on line in the
developer documentation.Gary.
Hi. Please do not try to modify the internal tables. There are APIs to
create users in LiveCycle. Check it out here:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/livecycle/es/sdkHelp/programmer/javadoc/com/adobe/livecycle/usermanager/client/DirectoryManagerServiceClient.htmlGary.
Hi, If you are trying to use the initial administrator/password account
to the ~/adminui URL an it does not work it may be a problem with your
install (for example database not bootstrapped properly) There should be
an error description in your application server log.
I chatted with the team about this. Workspace wants you browse LC end
points and show you task content (forms/swf's/documents) in an iFrame
that it communicates with for Reader. We have never encountered a
requirement to make the end point or the task content be any old
external URL, although it is a good suggestion for a feature /
enhancementI have seen something similar done before, but it is a bit
clunky. It generated a PDF that contained a URL with a button on the PDF
that will open the URL ...
Hi, Checked with the team and they know this works in 8.2.1SP1 or
8.2.1.SP2. What version are you using. Also are you using a manually
configured App Server or TurnKey JBoss.Thanks.Gary.
If your form is simple; for example two sections that needed to be
enabled or disabled based on the User Task in which the form is being
viewed, there might be a rather blunt way you can do this.You could make
two copies of the same form with the appropriate changes to the fields
and then modify the Form URL repository location in your xfaform
variable using a Set Value before the User Task. If other than field
status, both forms are the same then the data will still pass from one
user's form to...
Typically LiveCycle integrates with an existing Identity Management
System or LDAP and authenticates users against that external system. We
do support locally created and managed users and you can change those
passwords through the LC Admin UI. However if you are using LDAP etc
then you need to manage users' passwords with that system.
If you can log into the Admin UI as the "administrator" user then you
should be able to log into workspace too. If you are trying to log into
workspace as any other user identity, then make sure that the user has
the appropriate permission; for example try assigning the "Workspace
User" role to that user in the Admin UI.If you cannot even log on to
Workspace as the "administrator" user then chances are something is
wrong with your installation. You should have a look in the server log
to see if ...
If you are using the free Adobe Reader then it's likely that you need to
Reader Extend the PDF Form on the server (in your Render Service) before
you show it in Workspace. Submit as PDF is similar to saving a copy of
the PDF with form data, which requires Reader Extensions.
Hi, I got some feedback from our Assembler team on this that might be
useful in order to extract comments after the PDF has been submitted
back to the process:To extract all comments from a PDF into
an FDF or XFDF, use: <--
could also be format=FDF --> To get just the comments on page 1
and 2, use:
To get all comments that apink put in the document, use:
If that doesnt do what you need, let me know. There are also
some livedocs here:http://livedocs.adobe.com/livecycle/8.2/ddxRef/wwhelp/wwhimp...
When a PDF Form is shown in Workspace, the LC server actually attempts
to make a modification to the form (called "augmentation") in which a
scripting bridge is added to the form. This happens inside the Render
Service used to show the form. Workspace needs this to happen so that it
can instruct Acrobat/Reader in the browser to hide the submit button,
thus allowing the Workspace UI buttons to be used instead. I know that
if the PDF Form is signed then LC will not attempt to make this
modificatio...
Hi,A PDF might be encrypted using Acrobat (or also using the LC Server)
using a password, Public Key Certificate or a symmetric key obtained
from LC Rights Management for a policy protected document.In all cases,
LC needs its callers (through the SDK or in process design) to supply
the secret used to yield the key for decryption. For example in order
for LC to decrypt a password protected PDF, it requires the API caller
to supply the actual password. LC does not have any internal means to
decryp...
It's great to hear you got the help you need. But yes, the samples
always perform those steps during install. I have not heard of this
failing before and I would be interested in the platform (app server,
db) that you used or if this was just a simple turn key.
