Using Forms IVS to test forms with their intended data sets

The Forms Installation and Verification Sample (Forms IVS) is a sample application for testing your forms with their intended data sets. Forms IVS uses the renderPDFForm, renderHTMLForm, and processFormSubmission operations that the Forms service exposes.

Forms IVS must be deployed before you can use it. Administrators can use Configuration Manager to deploy Forms IVS. They can also manually deploy it. (See the installation document specific to your application server, from the LiveCycle Documentation page)

To open the Forms IVS application, navigate to http://[server_name:port_number]/FormsIVS.

To specify characteristics about your job and to submit your job, click the Test Forms link on the LiveCycle Forms banner. Here are some of the settings you can specify from the Test Forms window:

  • Form to test

  • Data file to merge with the form

  • Output format

  • Performance test selection

    To change settings that Forms IVS uses, click the Preferences link on the LiveCycle Forms banner. Here are some of the settings you can specify from the Preferences window:

  • Options passed to the Forms service

  • Locations that Forms IVS obtains form, data, XDC, and companion files from. The locations can be URLs, a repository location, or an absolute reference from a folder on the computer that hosts LiveCycle. Repository locations can be specified as repository:/ or repository:///.

  • Application root and endpoints

  • Administrator credentials

  • Options for rendering the form

    To view or delete files in the root directory, click the Maintenance link on the Forms banner. You can delete only the files you added to Forms IVS. You cannot delete files that were installed with Forms IVS.
