• Calendar for Forms 10g switch

  Hi, I use ver.10.1.2.0.2 generator of forms. I've been using Developer 6.0 and 10 g forms, but I have no idea how to use a (date selector) calendar for the date in my form. I'm not familiar with the .jar files, java Bean, .pll and olb. I tried to research the use of date picker using .pll and .olb but I always meet so many errors. Is it possible to use the date picker without using these things. Or can someone please give me a procedure step by step on how to on this subject. I'm sorry, but I'm new to these things.
  
  I tried following some tutorial (http://sites.google.com/site/craigsoraclestuff/oracle-forms---how-to-s/forms-how-to-use-a-calendar-in-a-form) I found on the internet but when I compile my module (step 11), I met several errors similar to this:
  
  Error at line 1, column 1 201
  identifier ' BL_CAL_PKG. V_NEXT' must be declared
  
  How can I find BL_CAL_PKG. ? I don't know how to solve this problem. If anyone can understand my situation, please help. Thank you very much.

  Simply replace BL_CAL_PKG with DATE_LOV then it works fine the rest of the code works very well...

• The Form(10g) hung who have the ComboBox list item when it runs on JRE

  Hello

  I am facing a problem with the drop-down list box. It works fine on JInitiator, but it doesn't work on JRE (Java). I searched the OTN community that everyone says that the 3 patches must be applied. Is there an alternative solution.

  Developer version

  Forms [32 bit] Version 10.1.2.0.2

  OS: Windows xp Service Pack 3

  Application server:

  Version10.1.2.0.2

  OS: Linux Red Hat

  OS: Windows Server 2003

  Best regards

  Zafar Iqbal

  Zafar,

  There is a known bug with the ComboBox element in Oracle Forms 10g R2 (10.1.2.0.2).  This has been fixed with patches 3 Group (which requires a contract for Support of Oracle download the patch) is why Micheal recommends that you install this group of hotfixes.  If you do not have a support contract - your options are: 1) not to use the ComboBox element. (2) upgrade to the latest version of Oracle Forms on the Oracle Technology Network (OTN), which is Oracle Fusion Middleware 11 g R2 (11.1.2.2.0).  (3) Finally, continue to use the Oracle Jinitiator.

• Forms 10g + UTF8 - Item displays # when he's happy is too long

  Hello

  I am facing a strange behavior with Forms 10 g and NLS_LANG = UTF8.

  DB 11G withcharset in AL32UTF8 on Linux

  Forms 10G on Linux

  We are currently upgrading our DB 10 G DB 11 G + UTF8 form.

  After adaptation data DB 10G and 11G, we changed sementics BYTE in CHAR columns in DB 11 G.

  Migration worked well.

  Now we try to connect to our application in the form of 10G to the new DB 11 G + UTF8.

  First we were faced with the error ORA-01461 "can bind a long value only for insert in a long column".

  To resolve this error, we have clarified the NLS_LANG = american_america.utf8 in default.env.

  This problem is solved now.

  We have specified the following parameters when compiling:

  NLS_LANG = AMERICAN_AMERICA. UTF8

  Export NLS_LANG

  NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS = CHAR

  Export NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS

  The application works fine except a few ITEMs that display # when their content is too long.

  For example with a Varchar2 ELEMENT (5) length_semantics = NULL (if the compiler uses the NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS specified during compilation).

  -When I fill it with "xxxxx" it works very well.

  -When I fill it with "xxxxe", it displays "#". The ELEMENT behaves as in Excel when the cell data cannot be displayed as a whole.

  Any idea on how I can avoid this behavior?

  Thanks in advance.

  Tim.

  There is a bug in forms 10.1.2.3 for when the length of an element in BYTES is greater than the length of the CHAR data # are displayed.

  =>

  Length ('xxxxx') = lengthb ('xxxxx')

  but

  Length ('xxxxa')<>

  so you will get #.

  There is a single patch for this what number I do not remember. The patch is packaged in the latest available patch for forms #9593176 and #13095466 which will also give you the benefits of being able to run your forms 10 g with Java7 (even if she is not certified).

  Published by: wael amar on January 18, 2011 04:44

  Rather than calling SqlLoader directly, you must create a batch (.bat) file and call it. In the batch file, you must first configure the environment because the HOST of shapes command starts with shell that does a not include system configurations. Thus, for example to create this batch file and assume, you name it oracle.bat :

  set ORACLE_HOME=C:\oracle10g\iAS1012
  set ORACLE_SID=orcl
  set PATH=%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%ORACLE_HOME%\bin
  sqlplus
  

  If you want to pass values in the batch file you can do, but it may take some careful coding. For example, if you want to pass the username and password in the script above you can proceed as follows. The %1 accepts a value from the command line. If you need more simple add %2 %3 and so on. Each parameter should be separated by a space, that is where it becomes difficult in the Forms code.

  set ORACLE_HOME=C:\oracle10g\iAS1012
  set ORACLE_SID=orcl
  set PATH=%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%ORACLE_HOME%\bin
  sqlplus %1
  

  The form, the call from the HOST might look like this. Carefully note the exact spaces and quotes, I've included in the declaration.

  HOST('"c:\oracle.bat " scott/tiger""');
  

  or*

  HOST('cmd /c start "" "c:\oracle.bat " scott/tiger""');

• Forms 10g / 11g in Servlet mode vs. shooting mode.

  Hello
  
  
  We are trying to push to the top of oracle forms 10g / 11g performance due to network latency problem. I read that we can also run Oracle Forms 11 g / 10g in the current shooting mode which uses 40% less bandwidth, but it comes together with EBS R12. ( http://blogs.oracle.com/stevenChan/2009/06/which_is_better_forms_servlet_or_socket_mode.html )
  
  
  I want to know that can we run that Oracle Forms 11 g / 10 g in socket mode. In the affirmative. Please provide the configuration forms11g / 10g in socket mode.
  
  Thank you and best regards,
  Noman

  Be careful here - performance problems may be the result of many issues - provides a little less network in terms of physical bytes (bytes can be physical?), but which does not always improve performance. You also have other potential problems, for example, if you have any firewall or proxy on your network.

  Bottom line is that for customers not apps you are not supported to run in shooting mode - and even once, even if you were, he could not help you.

• Windows sidebar calendar problem, sees nothing except chassis. How can I solve?

  Windows sidebar calendar problem, sees nothing except chassis. How can I solve?

  Hello SEEN H K,

  1. this work was very well at any time before your computer?

  I suggest that you try the methods below to resolve this issue:

  Method 1:

  Open a windows Explorer window and then paste the following text in the address bar:

  %LocalAppData%\microsoft\Windows sidebar

  This will open the Sidebar gadgets folder, where you should see a file named Settings.ini.

  If this is due to recent changes to the computer, I suggest that you do a system restore on your computer.

  a. Click Start, type system restore in the search box and then in the list click on the system restore program.

  b. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

  (c) in the System Restore dialog box, click on choose a different restore point and then click Next.

  d. in the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.

  e. click Finish.

• Migrating Forms 10g GR 11, 2 different host

  Hi all

  I'm Migrating Forms 10 g to 11 GR 2. I read a document for upgrading forms 10g to 11 GR 2, but there is no comment about the different host upgrade.

  Also, there is only one way for the upgrade. Who is using "upgrade wizard".

  Currently, here is my situation.

  1. I use forms 10g now on the server A.
  2. I installed 11 GR 2 forms on server B. It works well.
  3. There are a few files of forms compiled on ServerA.
  4. I want to migrate these forms and the configuration files in the server A to Server B.

  If I can't use "upgrade wizard", I just copy the configuration files two server (formsweb.cfg and default.env) and paste the B server configuration files. But I think that it is not good idea to migrate.

  Is there something else easy way and security for the upgrade.

  Please answer to me thanks!

  Let me start with the urgent comment: do NOT copy the configuration of earlier versions and drop them in the new environment. It's a bad idea for many reasons.  The most obvious is because new version has new settings and changes, some of which are required.

  I hope that, in your environment to version 10 you does not alter the [default] section of formsweb.cfg.  If this is the case, then you can easily copy your sections in the file of the new version.  However, before you do anything like that, make sure that you stop the Server Admin v11 and Managed Server (WLS_FORMS).  Don't try to do it with them running or your changes likely will have lost to ignored.  The default.env should be similar.  You can replace the one-for-one entries, but do not replace the entries found in the file.  Thus, for example, you can copy your old FORMS_PATH and drop it into the new file.  Comment out the existing and use your instead.  And so on.

  OK, we can all calm down now.

  The next thing to address is this statement "...". compiled form files on server A... ».  You can also copy forms of update modules / generated from one version to the other.  You need to rebuild 'X' (fmx, mmx, plx) of files in the new environment, using the new compiler.

  As for using the upgrade wizard, there are some limitations to use, needing to be on the same machine.  However, despite everything, my recommendation is that not use you it anyway.  In most cases, you will have more success and much easier to maintain the environment if you do things manually.  AU is especially useful when you have significant customizations and complex throughout the battery (SST, Web Cache, forms, reports, etc.).  For typical configuration changes, manually create the new that's going to be the way to go.  It will give you also a chance to clean by removing changes made previously which are no longer needed.

• Oracle Forms 10g runtime error

  Hello
  I am new to Oracle forms. I created the form, compiled successfully. But when I ran the form its opening a Page Internet Explore but display not nothing on the page. After a while his shows an error "Internet Explorer has stopped working". It is happen every time when I run the form.

  Suresh,
  Which edition of Windows 7 32-bit (etc. Professional, Home, Home Premium)? If you use a home edition - good luck to do this work. The necessary minimum edition is the professional edition. Just any editions have all necessary components of networking needed.

  If you use a professional edition or higher, then there are a few preparations you must do to make it work. They are:
  1. you must install the application as an administrator.
  2. you "run" the application as an administrator. The best thing to do is to find the Oracle executable and then right-click and select Properties. Click on the Compatibility tab, and then click "Run this program as an administrator." Windows 7 automatically runs applications like 'Standard user' - even if you have the privilege of administrator assigned to your account. This is part of the feature Universal Account Control (UAC) in Windows 7.
  3. you must install and use a compatible Java Runtime (JRE) (JRE 1.6.0 - No 1.7.0). Oracle Forms 10 g Release 2 (version 10.1.2.x.x) defautls to the use of the Oracle Jinitiator. However, Jinitiator is no longer compatible with Windows 7 and modern browsers or supported. Keep in mind that Jinitiator was to IE 6 so you cannot expect this JRE to work with modern browsers.
  4. change the formsweb.cfg to use JRE 1.6.0. Change the following lines:

  #baseHTMLjinitiator=basejini.htm
  baseHTMLjinitiator=basejpi.htm
  #jpi_classid=clsid:CAFEEFAC-0014-0002-0006-ABCDEFFEDCBA
  jpi_classid=clsid:CAFEEFAC-0016-0000-0034-ABCDEFFEDCBA
  #jpi_mimetype=application/x-java-applet;jpi-version=1.4.2_06
  jpi_mimetype=application/x-java-applet;jpi-version=1.6.0_34
  

  5. Finally, in order to run a form from the forms Builder, you must start the OC4J container. To do this, go to start-all programs-online Oracle Developer Suite - online DevSuiteHome-Online Forms Developer => start an OC4J Instance.
  The OC4J Instance emulates an application server which is required for Forms 10g Runtime.

  The changes described above assumes that you have installed the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.6.0_34. If you have a lower version, make sure you change the "34" to the installed version.

  This is the minimum of changes necessary to make forms work on Windows 7 32 bit. It is strongly recommended that you apply the last group of patches (patches 3 Group) for forms bring your 10.1.2.0.0 version 10.1.2.3.0, but you will need a contract with Oracle support to obtain the fix.

  As for your question,

  One last thing, I've observed is the Oracle Services in the Control Panel control Panel\All Items\Administrative Tools\Services. I don't see any running services related to Oracle, in my system (do not even have a linked oracle service at this location).

  What other Oracle products you have installed? If just Oracle Forms, then you will have no service.

• Forms 10g 10.1.2.3 with Microsoft Internet Explorer 8.0 in Win 7 64 bit

  Hi all
  
  I'm not able to open applications developed with forms 10g (10.1.2.3) in IE8.
  I am able to open it from the same client using google chrome or Firefox 3.6.
  JRE version 1.6 is 33.
  
  Fact any body knows what should be the parameters of IE8 to make shapes with IE8.
  Y at - it no metalink how to document?
  
  Thanks in advance
  
  Guigui

  You have made a minor mistake.

  CLSID:CLSID:CAFEEFAC-0016-0033-FFFF-ABCDEFFEDCBA is not correct.

  Her take: either of the following:

  #Dynamic CLSID - runs with any installed JRE with Internet Explorer
  jpi_classid=clsid:8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93
  

  #Attempts to use any JRE in a specified family
  jpi_classid=clsid:CAFEEFAC-0016-0000-FFFF-ABCDEFFEDCBA
  

  #Static CLSID attempts to use a specified JRE or newer in the same major release.
  jpi_classid=clsid:CAFEEFAC-0016-0000-0033-ABCDEFFEDCBA
  

  For browsers other than IE, you must set the MIME type. Then choose them:

  #Forces the use of a specified JRE version
  jpi_mimetype=application/x-java-applet;jpi-version=1.6.0_33
  

  #Attempts to use any JRE in the specified family
  jpi_mimetype=application/x-java-applet;version=1.6
  

  #Use any installed JRE
  jpi_mimetype=application/x-java-applet

• Need help with Forms 10g documentation!

  Hi friends,
  
  I need documentation of forms 10g can someone give me the link I downloaded contains only the pdf installation files and documentation for reports, but I'm looking our for Forms 10 g any help would be appreciated.
  
  Kind regards
  Maury

  Maury,
  The simple fact of the matter is that Oracle no longer publishes a full set of documentation of the product (for example; User Manual, etc.) Everything is now in the forms help system. The last time Oracle published the kind of documentation you are looking for has been with Oracle Developer 2000 (Forms 4.5). You can still get the pdf version of these books in the Oracle Forms Developer and Forms Server Documentation. Download them quickly because they may be there much longer! It seems that Oracle is slowly remove ALL content that is more than 4-5 years old.

  Hope this helps,
  Craig B-)
