Enter special characters in Correspondence Management asset names
023 days
- Samartha Vashishtha, Content and Community Lead @ Adobe
Sometimes, you may want to create Correspondence Management solution assets that contain special characters in their names. To do so, you must first define the list of special characters that you want to use in the tbxeditor-config XML file.

Dealing with Out Of Memory problems on LiveCycle Server
024 days
- Santosh Tatke, Sr. Support Architect @ Adobe
We recently worked with a customer who saw Native Heap Exhaustion on their Weblogic server. Weblogic9 running on Solaris with LiveCycle 821.x.
While majority of customers have upgraded to LiveCycle ES2.x or LiveCycle ES3 which require 64bit OS + JVM combinations, some customers are still on LiveCycle 821.x with 32bit OS/JVM combinations.
Out Of Memory exceptions in JVM logs could indicate either JVM heap exhaustion or Native Heap exhaustion. Closer look to the stacktrace could help determine the root cause.
On 32 bit systems, since max memory space that can be accessed by a process is 4GB; choice of max JVM heap setting could be critical.
If JVM heap is too high, it leaves less room for native heap, and you could see Out Of Memory exceptions in JVM logs.

Author-instance clustering for Correspondence Management
0- Samartha Vashishtha, Content and Community Lead @ Adobe
We’ve added a brand new section to the Installing the Correspondence Management Developer’s Guide explaining how you can set up author-instance clustering for Correspondence Management.
When the Correspondence Management solution is deployed, the author instance runs on the same server as LiveCycle ES3. However, setting up the LiveCycle cluster doesn’t automatically configure the Correspondence Management author-instance cluster. You must set up this cluster manually. Author-instance clustering has no dependency on LiveCycle clustering. The LiveCycle cluster acts as a backend system for author instance clustering when LiveCycle is integrated with the Correspondence Management solution. The shared nothing mode of clustering is supported for Correspondence Management.

Rights Management – How to Get Windows 7 to Trust a Self-Signed Server Certificate
045 days
- Jayan Kandathil, Sr. Enterprise Solutions Specialist @ Adobe
During the proof-of-concept, development, and testing phases of a LiveCycle Rights Management project, HTTP over SSL is usually configured with self-signed server certificates. For instructions on configuring your appserver with such a certificate, see this and this.
When you try to connect via SSL to the appserver hosting LiveCycle from a Windows client, this will trigger an untrusted certificate warning from Internet Explorer...

LiveCycle Workbench ES2: Tracking dependencies for forms and fragments
049 days
- David McMahon, Senior Technical Account Manager @ Adobe
Information
In LiveCycle ES it is possible to track the dependencies of parent forms to form fragments and vice versa using the functionality in Workbench ES.
In LiveCycle ES2 it is also possible to view the form fragments used by a parent form in Workbench > Form Design > Properties:
It is not possible to track the dependencies from a form fragment to see in which parent forms the fragment is used. This is due to the architectural changes related to the new application model in LiveCycle ES2.
In LiveCycle ES3 it is again possible to track the dependencies of parent forms to fragments and vice versa.

What’s New in LiveCycle ES3?
056 days
-Neal Davies @ Adobe
Since we released LiveCycle ES3 we have received a tremendous response; a common question is what’s new since the last major release of LiveCycle; my goal here is to answer that question. Every major release includes a great deal of valuable sustaining and customer oriented updates too detailed to list but in themselves valuable in terms of keeping your systems up to date; what everybody wants to hear about however are the new features, so here goes.

Testing LiveCycle Workspace
065 days
- Ameeth Palla, Technical Account Manager, Adobe
A topic that has come up several times in the recent past is about testing Adobe LiveCycle Workspace. I thought it will be useful to provide some information around this for the benefit of a larger LC community.
If the objective is Load testing, in-house Adobe uses a commercial tool call Silk Performer which can capture and replay the AMF3 interactions between Workspace and the server for scalable load generation. There are other tools that work with AMF3.Some people have asked if QTP can be used for load testing – It is unlikely that QTP is a good fit, since it is not suited to scalable load generation.
Adobe recommends using Silk Performer or Neotys Neload for load testing of Workspace. Check out the links below that may provide more insight into this topic:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/830/cpsid_83082.html
http://my.adobe.acrobat.com/p59756637/
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/flex-load-testing.html
If the objective is Functional testing then Workspace is configured for QTP testing out of the box. If you install QTP, restart your computer, then install the Flex plug-in for QTP, restart your computer then you can start automating your Workspace tests. However for QTP automation you should use the Workspace automation URL rather than the default URL. So rather than http://server:port/Workspace/Main.html you would use http://server:port/Workspace/Main-auto.html.
