2545812 - Unable to Bind a Field using Adobe Livecycle Designer Even When the Data is Available in XML

Symptom

You have a valid binding path and trying to bind a field using Adobe Livecycle Designer, however you are unable to traverse the whole path in Livecycle designer.

"Images/data in this KBA are from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental".

Environment

  • SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Download the standard template from Form template maintenance
  2. Open the ".xdp" file in ALD
  3. Select a field to bind with binding path (example: x->y->z->data)

When tried to traverse the path at times we do not see whole path.

Cause

Data connection to the Main schema would be lost or not updated with latest data.

Resolution

You nee to reconnect the main schema to data view.

Steps to correct:

  2. Right click on ‘Dataconnection’ and select ‘Connection properties’ (refer: screenshot 1).
  3. Click Next & Ok.
  4. In this screen, browse and select the MainSchema.xsd (refer: screenshot 2).
