• Open a PDF document from local drive the trigger button of Oracle 6i form

  Hi all.
  I have an oracle forms 6i application. The system from where the forms are run... has a local folder with pdf documents. the requirement is that when the user clicks a button in the form of oracle... the respective pdf in the local folder should open (in the browser or in adobe pdf format or in any other way).
  I really desperately need this help. a google. has not used the host and client_host commands in the trigger button but I am presented with error message 'host, client_host' undeclared.
  
  bundles of thanks in advance to get out.

  client_host is not available in forms 6i as part of webutil. However you don't need client_host. Simply use the host :

  question

  host('rundll32.exe url.dll,FileProtocolHandler '||path_to_your_file);
  

  to open the pdf file with the associated reader pdf (Adobe Reader, or what you have installed).

  see you soon

• Can we have pop up similar to Oracle Forms LOV LOV

  JDeveloper Version - 11.1.1.4.0
  
  
  My form is made up of empid, deptid, projectid. I have an InlputwithListofvalues for the project ID.
  
  I want to change the default functionality of the search popup that appears by clicking the search icon. It should work similar to Oracle Forms LOV. IIN pop up I need to have that one field, say the search field. On enter a value in the search field and clicking on the "Search" button, it should try to match the empid, projectid and deptid value. It should return all records whenever these values match.

  Yes, it will not work with VC (and when I think about it, once again, it was very bad idea :))

  So you can do the following (this time I tested app, so it works - or at least compiles :))):
  1. you don't need any ViewCriteria
  2. Add the new variable to link to your LOV viewobject (for example: "p_search") and change the data type and the label
  3. change the where clause in LOV view the object, something like this:
  EmpID =: p_search
  or projectid =: p_search
  deptId = or: p_search

  4. set Queryble = false on all attributes
  5 Add this VO as LOV your fields
  And, that is :)

  Because you define queryable = false at run time, you will see only the input field for the connection variable

• How to post several lines in oracle FORM

  Hello

  I created a custom form that has a header block and a block of retail. the retail block can have multiple lines. I have a requirement that lines (multi-line) block detail data will be validated during the recording of the record. Please indicate how we can do?

  Please note that the data are not saved and yet, it will be validated during registration or any click of a button.

  Please notify. It is urgent.

  Thank you

  Pirre

  Make the echo of Christian question... What do you mean by "validating"?  You have not yet defined what it means in your scenario!

  Is your retail block a block of the base table, or a control block?  Rather than the trigger key - Commit, you could use the triggers we insert or we--update since these will be triggered for each line that oracle Forms will insert or update.  If you want to keep your validation in the trigger key code - Commit, you will need to loop through all the rows in your detail block and validate each line manually.  If the validation logic is the same for inserts and updates - you can put this logic in a unit of program (procedure) and then call this procedure in the Insert and update triggers on.

  What about using the trigger when-validate-Record?  This trigger fires as you navigate from one line to the other, but it will save a loop block (if you continue to use the "enter" key).

• How can we export itno csv data file for oracle forms

  Hello

  How can we export itno csv data file for oracle forms

  For example. I have the block called A.what never the data displayed on a block, when I click on a button, displays the block data, must be exported to the csv file.

  My application is running on the unix operating system.

  Please help on this.

  First of all.  What is your version of forms (for example: 11.1.2.2.0 not 11g).  Finally, who will use the .csv file?  If it is a user on their client computer - CLIENT_TEXT_IO TEXT_IO or WebUtil are standard packages used to export data to a file of Oracle Forms.

  The amount of data to be exported?  If you export only a couple hundred lines - export of Froms will be OK.  If you export more lines than that (300 + lines) then the export will be extremely slow to your username.  Keep in mind that forms is not designed to perform data exports - there are better tools available for this...

• Oracle forms of many developers development environment

  I installed oracle 11 g 2 forms and weblogic on linux. I am able to test and run a form on it successfully.

  Now we intend to use it for many developers. My idea is that we should use the existing server weblogic as deployment for all forms of all developers.

  However to provide the forms of development etc generator, complete installation of weblogic and oracle forms server should be installed on every developer but this facility will be in development mode. Secondly, each form must be copied into the path of forms and form file cannot be deployed on weblogic as ear file online.

  My questions are

  form 1 - can can be deployed on weblogic server as ear/war file online?

  2 is that each developer will need to install the server weblogic and oracle forms 11 g r2 in mode of development on his pc? or they can share a single server of remote forms generator.

  There are several ways to answer your questions.  It would be as part of what could be "technically" and the other would be in the context of the license product allows you to do.

  Let's start by answering your questions directly:

  form 1 - can can be deployed on weblogic server as ear/war file online?

  No.  Forms applications are not the java (J2EE) applications.  That said, for the necessary files (fmb, mmb, pll) to a remote machine and prepare to be executable should be easy enough for most organizations.  Just let it drop the files to the correct location, compile and run.  Files can be moved to the server using ftp, shared, etc. drive.  You can even write your own application (for example, servlet) to help make this easier.  You can also create a forms (active WebUtil) application to help move the files on the local computer to the server computer.

  2 is that each developer will need to install the server weblogic and oracle forms 11 g r2 in mode of development on his pc? or they can share a single server of remote forms generator.

  In order to be in a "supported" configuration, each user intend to use the forms/States builders (IDE) must have a local copy on their computer and use it on the local computer.  Running the builders from a location remote only is not supported.  Refer to the Note MOS 68047.1 for more details.  This does not mean that the remote access will not work.  This simply means that Oracle Support cannot help you if problems occur with such a use of the product.

  Regarding the WLS installation part, a remote server can technically be used, but you always need to install on the computer where the builders.

  So, this brings me to the authorization of the present part.

  The license Developer Suite, which is required to use the manufacturers, is scheduled for local installation and local use of the product.  It is not intended to be used by remote users.  This would apply to both the tools and the runtime environment (server).  If you have one license deployment (e.g. Services forms/States, iAS-EE or WLS Suite) then you can develop your application (assuming that you also have an ID license) with your local builders, then back to application modules resulting remote installation of WLS (forms/reports and Services) in order to run/test the application.

  From a technical point of view, to use the 'Run the form' button in the report designer to access a remote deployment environment, simply change the value "Application Server URL" in the Runtime tab in the preferences.  As mentioned, it will be up to you to determine how you want to move the modules (fmb, mmb, pll) on the target computer and compile them.  Now when you press the button run the form, the form will run on the remote server.

• Insert multiple record Oracle forms 6i

  Hi all

  I have a single column of field Field1, button, in the form TEXT_ITEM1.

  After giving the sales order number in Field1, when should press us the button, the items (item_code) shown in the TEXT_ITEM1.

  I went through the discussion Insert several Oracle forms 6i, 9i/10 g recordbut did not exactly how to write the loop button when button pressed.

  first_record;
<<record_loop>>
loop
  insert into ....
  exit when :system.last_record = 'TRUE';
  next_record;
end loop record_loop;

  My request for the loop is.

  Select RI_ITEM_CODE from OT_REQ_ITEM

  Where REQ_NO =: field1;

  Please suggest

  Thanks in advance.

  Kind regards

  Afzal.

  Forgive me if I am oversimplifying this, but why not just base your block of data to the table: XXTABLE.  Then, you just put your form in design query (F7). Enter the value of 1122 in the area of the INVOICE_NUM and selects Execute Query (F8).  Then forms does all the work to extract and display the records without having to write code to do this.  This saves you having to write the code to perform and DML as well because the forms will take care of the Insert, Update and Delete automatically when your users click on save or press F10 (if I remember correctly).

  If you must absolutely query and display your data manually, then you cannot use the standard SELECT INTO method because it will only show 1 record.  You need to loop through your recordset and to manually edit the records in your block after you assign a value to the line.  For example:

  
   /* Sample Button Code */
  DECLARE
    v_invoice_num NUMBER := BLOCK.TEXT1;
  
    CURSOR Get_Items (p_invoice NUMBER) IS
    SELECT INVOICE_NUM, ITEM_CODE
    FROM XXTABLE
    WHERE invoice_num = p_invoice;
   BEGIN
    GO_BLOCK('BLOCK');
    CLEAR_BLOCK(NO_VALIDATE);
  
    FOR rec in Get_Items(v_invoice_num) LOOP
    :BLOCK.INVOICE_NUM := rec.invoice_num;
    :BLOCK.ITEM_CODE := rec.item_code;
    Next_Record;
    END LOOP;
   END:
  

  I really don't like this method, but it could work.

• How to debug a form (Oracle Forms 11 G) via the URL module

  How to debug a form (Oracle Forms 11 G) via the URL module.
  
  
  
  My server operating system is Unix. Then, I could not able to do forms of debugged by the form developer.
  It displays a message "cannot find module '. Because the system tries to find the module in the Unix system instead of my local system (Windows).
  
  I need to debug module my via a URL.
  I can place the fmb and fmx in path of form in the server.
  
  Please, help me to solve this problem...

  It's a little uncertain. If your goal is to use the form Builder debugger during execution of your form on a Unix machine, this can be done. However, the form must be in working order. So before you try to attach the debugger, you must first be able to start without the debugger. For example:

  http://yourserver:OHS_port_number/forms/frmservlet? form = yourFMX

  Once it works correctly, you can turn on debugging. If your form does not even, using the debugger will not help you because it is designed to solve the problems and not coding configuration problems.

  So, follow these steps to use the debugger:

  http://yourserver:OHS_port_number/forms/frmservlet? form = yourFMX & debug = yes

  This will display a dialog box with information. Do not click OK, but you will need this information to enter in the Forms Designer. Now, open the Forms Designer and click Debug > attach Debug. You will be asked for the information displayed in the dialog box where you tried to start the form. Enter it here (in the constructor), and then click ok in both places. To display the debugger (in Report Builder), click Debug > Debug Console. And then on the toolbar, click the buttons associated with what you want to monitor. Including a breakpoint in your application code is often a more useful way to use the debugger.

  Most of this information is explained in the Forms Builder online help

  I forgot to mention...

  For debug runtime problems, see the deployment of forms here Guide (this implies that you use 11.1.2):

  http://docs.Oracle.com/CD/E38115_01/doc.111210/e24477/appa.htm

• Functioanlity of opening SESSION in Oracle Forms 10g

  Form dear gurus,
  
  I need to connect to the DB using Oracle Forms...
  
  So I created 3 text elements for string user and password for connection.
  
  Once you press the button, I use the following code
  Logon(:logon_block.) Username: logon_block. PASSWORD | » @' || : logon_block. CONNECT, fALSE);
  If form_success then
  al_id: = Find_Alert ('WARNING');
  Set_Alert_Property (al_id, ALERT_MESSAGE_TEXT, "Connected); -now display the alert
  dummy_var: = Show_Alert (al_id);
  
  on the other
  al_id: = Find_Alert ('WARNING');
  Set_Alert_Property (al_id, ALERT_MESSAGE_TEXT, "Not connected"); -now display the alert
  dummy_var: = Show_Alert (al_id);
  end if;
  
  Apart from the usr/pwd his success giving only msg...
  
  You please give me your valuable contributions to overcome this problem...
  
  Thank you and best regards,

  Instead of looking for "success of form", try verifies that you have actually connected. For example:

• Script to reset the icon of a button

  Hi I want to create an Acrobat X form where the user inserts a customer logo in a field. I found a script online that will allow users to look for a logo - it works because the field is implemented as a button, and the script allows the user to choose an icon for the button. Therefore, it seems that customer's logo has been added. Users do not know and cannot know that it is a button.

  Here's what she was:

  event.target.buttonImportIcon ();

  It works fine, but when it's time to reset the form, this field is not listed in the method 'reset form' normal (because it is not a text field, I suppose).

  Can someone help me with a small fix scripty? I am not experienced in the script at all and may not even be that part of the brain

  I'm on Mac, cordially.  Thank you!!

  Yes, you can name the fields you want, you just have to adapt the code to match the names. The hidden button can be placed anywhere you want and can be any size you want. Fair value layout hidden button other than "Label only. All other properties are not relevant.

• Reports that generate output Excel do not open under ie8/Oracle Forms

  Hello
  
  We run Oracle Forms (no matter whether under Jinitiator 1.3.1.22 (28) or SUN's JVM) and generate output Excel with Oracle Reports (web.show_document). This works well in Internet Explorer 6 (ie6), but not in Internet Explorer 8 (ie8).
  
  The effect is that a new browser window opens and closes very quickly, without anything more happening.
  
  Honestly, I guess it doesn't have to do with oracle reports, but ask this, however, in this forum, because it could be people who have made the same experiences...
  
  In addition, I discovered that the same problem exists when gerenating excel or ms word via a db (with http modules) procedure output. There, I found this deletion of the issue (open/save/cancel) before opening a file (via the menu windows Explorer file type association) helped with excel and ms word output (but this can be regarded as an unsatisfactory workaround).
  
  The problem persists with the types of applications other than XLS or DOC files that are also properly registered on the client.
  
  I'm not sure whether mimetypes sent as files (which were obviously OK with ie6) play a role in this problem.
