• Reading excel data file in Oracle form data blocks

  Hi all
  
  I want to read the data from the excel file in the data block of the module of the form. There are many resources available that explain how to put the data in oracle forms in the excel sheet, but I can't find a single resource to achieve this functionality. Can someone please help me get around this problem. Any help will be much appreciated.
  
  Thanks in advance

  Bilal,.
  There is little documentation available through My Oracle Support, which shows how to read an Excel file in a form, but you need a support contract with Oracle to access the document (how to read data from an EXCEL worksheet in a form using WebUtil Client_OLE2 [813535.1 ID]).

  I've seen this issue come up in the forum from time to time, so I wrote a small form demo which illustrates playback in Excel in a form. Discover forms: how to read an Excel file in a form. This demonstration uses the WebUtil library, so you must make sure have WebUtil correctly configured in the Forms Designer, as well as on your application server.

  Hope this helps,

• Validate the data in the form of Web

  We want to validate data in the web form in planning through JavaScript Code?
  
  How we do it and what is the location of the JavaScript file?
  
  One last thing... If we make changes in the Java Script code, then it is necessary to stop and start planning the server or application?
  
  Thanks in advance... :-)

  Yes you can do this by using javascript code.
  If you want to learn more about the use of custom javascript must be your starting point:-http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/hp_admin/frameset.htm?apa.html
  There is also another document that may be useful:-http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-foundation/planning-javascript-v3-130516.pdf

  If you use any other tomcat Web server, you will need to restart the service if you make changes to the code.

  See you soon

• 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...

  Part 2, help information on the Format mask item property; you will need to make sure that you set the property correctly.

  Sorry, I had to drill two answers but my first attempt surpassed the eligible characters in an answer ;-)

  Format Mask property
  Description
  
  Specifies the display format and input accepted for data in text items.
  Applies to  text item
  Set  Form Builder, programmatically
  
  Refer to Built-in
  
  n     GET_ITEM_PROPERTY

  Required/Optional  optional 
  
  Usage Notes
  
  Valid format masks for character strings, numbers and dates are described in the following tables.
  Character Strings
  The following table describes valid format masks for character strings. 
  
  Element     Example     Description
  FM     FMXX99     Fill mode:  accept string as typed, do not right justify.  Allows end user input string to be shorter than the format mask.
  X     XXXX     Any alphabetic, numeric, or special character.  End user input string must be exact length specified by format mask.
  9     9999     Numeric characters only.  End user input string must be exact length specified by format mask.
  A     AAAA     Alphabetic characters only.  End user input string must be exact length specified by format mask.
  Character String Examples
  
  Format Mask     Description
  XXAA     Will accept: --ab, abcd, 11ab; will not accept: --11, ab11, or ab--(must use XX to accept hyphens and other special characters).
  XXXX     Will accept any combination of alphabetic, numeric, or special characters: --ab, abcd, 11ab, --11, ab11, or ab--.  Will accept 1234 or abcd; will not accept 123 or abc.  (To accept input string shorter than mask, use FMXXXX.)
  FMXX99     Will accept ab12, ab1, ab followed by two spaces; will not accept 12ab or abcd.  (To produce the Form Builder Version 3.0 Alpha datatype, use FMAAAAAA.)
  n     To embed additional characters such as a hyphen (-) or a comma (,), surround the character with double-quotes (").
  n     Embedded characters are separate from text item values and are not collated along with text item values, even when the end user enters them. 
  
  NUMBERS
  
  The following table describes valid format masks for numbers.
  
  Element     Example     Description
  9     9999     Number of nines determines display width.  Any leading zeros will be displayed as blanks.
  0     0999     Display leading zeros.
  0     9990     Display zero value as zero, not blank.
  $     $9999     Prefix value with dollar sign.
  B     B9999     Display zero value as blank, not "0".
  MI     9999MI     Display "-" after a negative value.
  PR     9999PR     Display a negative value in .
  comma     9,999     Display a comma in this position.  For correct behavior in multilingual applications, substitute G to return the appropriate group (thousands) separator.
  period     99.99     Display a decimal point in this position. For correct behavior in multilingual applications, substitute D to return the appropriate decimal separator.
  E     9.999EEEE     Display in scientific notation (format must contain exactly four "E"s).
  FM      FM999     Fill mode: accept string as typed, do not right justify.
  n     When you mask a number with nines (9), Form Builder adds a space in front of the number to accommodate the plus (+) or minus (-) sign.  However, since the plus sign is not displayed, it appears as if Form Builder adds a space in front of the number.  (The minus sign is displayed.)
  n     To embed additional characters such as a hyphen (-) or a comma (,), surround the character with double-quotes (").
  n     Embedded characters are separate from text item values and are not collated along with text item values, even when the end user enters them. 
  
  NUMBER Examples
  
  Format Mask     Description
  FM099"-"99"-"9999     Displays the social security number as formatted, including hyphens, even if end user enters only nine digits.To create a Social Security column, create an 11-character column, set to fixed length, with a format mask of 099"-"99"-"9999.  This mask will accommodate Social Security numbers that begin with zero, accepting 012-34-5678 or 012345678 (both stored as 012345678).
  99999PR     Accepts -123; reformats as <123>.
  999MI     Accepts -678; reformats as 678-.
  9.999EEEE     Displays as 1.00E+20.
  How Forms handles length mismatches
  
  If a runtime user enters a numeric string that exceeds the format mask specification, the value will be rejected.  For example:
  
  Format Mask     User enters     Result
  99.9     321.0     Invalid
  99.9     21.01     Invalid
  99.9     21.1     21.1
  99.9     01.1     1.1
  In contrast, if a numeric value fetched from the database exceeds the format mask specification for its display field, the value is displayed, but truncated, with rounding, to fit the mask.  (The item itself within the Forms application retains its full value.)  For example, if the database held the value 2.0666, and the format mask was 99.9, the value displayed to the user would be 2.1.  However, the value of the item within the form would be the full 2.0666. 
  
  Dates
  
  The following table describes valid format masks for dates.
  
  Element     Description
  YYYY or SYYYY     4-digit year; "S" prefixes "BC" date with "-".
  YYY or YY or Y     Last 3, 2, or 1 digits of year.
  Y,YYY     Year with comma in this position.
  BC or AD     BC/AD indicator.
  B.C. or A.D.     BD/AD indicator with periods.
  RR     Defaults to correct century.  Deduces the century from a date entered by comparing the 2 digit year entered with the year and century to which the computer's internal clock is set.   Years 00-49 will be given the 21st century (the year 2000), and years from 50-99 will be given the 20th century (the year 1900).
  MM     Month (01-12; JAN = 01).
  MONTH     Name of month, padded with blanks to length of 9 characters.
  MON     Name of month, 3-letter abbreviation.
  DDD     Day of year (1-366).
  DD     Day of month (1-31).
  D     Day of week (1-7; Sunday=1).
  DAY     Name of day, padded with blanks to length of 9 characters.
  DY     Name of day, 3-letter abbreviation.
  J     Julian day; the number of days since January 1, 4712 BC.
  AM or PM     Meridian indicator.
  A.M. or P.M.     Meridian indicator with periods.
  HH or HH12     Hour of day (1-12).
  HH24     Hour of day (0-23).
  MI     Minute (0-59).
  SS     Second (0-59).
  SSSSS     Seconds past midnight (0-86399).
  /. , .     Punctuation is reproduced in the result.
  "..."     Quoted string is reproduced in the result.
  FM     Fill mode: assumes implied characters such as O or space; displays significant characters left justified.  Allows end user input to be shorter than the format mask.  (Use in conjunction with FX to require specific delimiters.)
  FX     All date literals must match the format mask exactly, including delimiters.
  n     When you prefix a date mask with FX, the end user must enter the date exactly as you define the mask, including the specified delimiters:  
  
  Date Examples
  
  Format Mask     Description
  FXDD-MON-YY     Will accept 12-JAN-94, but will not accept 12.JAN.94 or 12/JAN/94 because the delimiters do not match the mask. Will not accept 12JAN94 because there are no delimiters.  Will accept 01-JAN-94 but will not accept 1-JAN-94.
  FMDD-MON-YY     Will accept 01-JAN-94.  Will also accept the entry of other delimiters, for example 01/JAN/94 and 01 JAN 94.  However, will not accept 01JAN94.  Will accept 1-JAN-94, converting it to 01-JAN-94.
  DD-MON-YY     Will accept 12.JAN.94, 12/JAN/94 or 12-JAN-94. Note: Any delimiter characters will be accepted, but if delimiters are omitted by the end user, this mask will interpret date characters as a delimiters.  Will accept 12-JAN94, (but will erroneously interpret as 12-JAN-04); but will not accept 12JAN94, because "AN" is not a valid month name.
  n     Use of a format mask only affects how the data looks.  Form Builder stores full precision, regardless of how the data is presented.
  n     Embedded characters are separate from text item values and are not collated along with text item values, even when the end user enters them.
  n     To embed additional characters such as a hyphen (-) or a comma (,), surround the character with double-quotes (").  Note, however, that double-quotes themselves cannot be used as a character.  In other words, trying to achieve output of DD"MM by specifying a mask of DD"""MM would not work.
  
  Format Mask     Description
  FMMONTH" "DD", "YYYY     Displays the text item data in the specified date format: JANUARY 12, 1994, including the appropriate blank spaces and comma.
  FMDD-MONTH-YYYY     Displays as 12-JANUARY-1994.
  DY-DDD-YYYY     Displays as WED-012-1994.  Note: for input validation including day of the week, a mask that allows specific determination of the day is required, such as this example or DY-DD-MM-YY.
  n     When you use day of the week formats, be sure that the data  includes day of the week information.  To avoid illogical masks, display also either the day of the year (1-366) or the month in some format. 
  
  Format Mask     Description
  DD-MONTH-YYYY     Displays as 12-JANUARY-1994.
  DY-DDD-YYYY     Displays as WED-012-1994.
  DY-DD-MON-YY     Displays as WED-12-JAN-94.  Be sure to include month.  Avoid masks such as DY-DD-YY, which could generate an error.
  NLS Format Masks
  
  The following table describes valid National Language Support (NLS) format masks.
  
  Element     Example     Description
  C     C999     Returns the international currency  symbol.
  L     L9999     Returns the local currency  symbol.
  D     99D99     Returns the decimal separator.
  G     9G999     Returns the group (thousands) separator.
  comma     9,999     Displays a comma in this position.
  period     9.999     Displays a decimal point in this position. Displays a decimal point in this position.
  NLS Format Mask Examples
  
  Format Mask     Description
  L99G999D99     Displays the local currency symbol, group, and decimal separators:  if NLS_LANG=American, this item displays as $1,600.00; if NLS_LANG=Norwegian, this item displays as Kr.1.600,00.
  C99G999D99     Displays the appropriate international currency symbol: if NLS_LANG=American, this item displays as USD1,600.00; if NLS_LANG=French, this item displays as FRF1.600,00.

• Importing data from access in Oracle Forms by form 10g

  Gentlemen.
  How can I import the Access file data into Oracle tables.
  I have tables in access about 10 how it can be imported into oracle with the same data structure.
  Thanks in advance

  If you use a form 4.5 so you can use ODBC to create a data source name
  and use the connection with odbc as
  Logon('username@ODBC:dsnName','password');
  then
  execute_query; to get the access data;
  then disconnection;
  and logon ('oracleuser @ConnectinogString ',' password');
  then use

• Create the form for enrty of data such as oracle forms tabular block by ADF Table!

  Hi guru and Experts
  
  I need some solutions for Oracle JDeveloper11g which is very essential for me.
  
  + Q1. Is it possible to create a form master detail which block detailed will be a tabular as like oracle forms . If possible I such example? +
  
  Q2. How can I create a preview to the point like oracle forms overview at the point of tables?
  
  Q3. How can I add LOV/list items / check for a table/table column?
  
  Q4. If it is possible to insert a new record in the table of the ADF, so I need to save all your data by pressing a key SAVE event
  
  
  I wish you all already taken I want developed. Please give me a better solution.
  
  
  
  Thank you.
  Zed
  ====

  A correction to the above – if you want the table to be modified/inserted you cannot drag and drop as a master-detail, because the detail will be in read only mode.
  Instead first drag the captain and drop as a form of ADF
  Then, drag the details below and drop it as Table of ADF.

  You can drag since the operations node in the data control the operation createInsert to add a button that will add a new empty row to the table.

• Can I use Oracle Forms 11g with 9.2.0.8.0 Data Services?

  Hello world.
  
  My Department is evaluating the development tools to create new web applications and possibly migrate current buit applications with Oracle Forms 6.0.5.34.0. Our database is Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.8.0 - 64 bit.
  
  We read that the new version of Oracle Forms is Oracle Forms Services 11 g. Is Oracle Forms 11g compatible with Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.8.0 Services - 64 bit? or we will have to migrate our Oracle 11g RDBMS?
  
  If our database is compatible, what would we have needed to develop and deploy applications with Oracle Forms 11 g Services?
  
  Thanks in advance.

  That it is compatible or not: 9.2.0.8 database is supported, which means you get patches for it. So even if it's compatible I would opt to upgrade to a newer version, because I wouldn't feel uncomfortable that the product is not supported by out in production.

  Take a look at the matrix of certification for the supported configurations
  http://www.Oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/downloads/FMW-11gr1certmatrix.xls

  With regard to the requirements; most of the stuff is on the forms OTN homepage:

• 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).

• call a stored procedure for each row in the transitional attribute and display the data in the form of af: table. The other rows are based on the entities

  Hi Experts,

  JDeveloper 12.1.3.0.0

• When possible in Oracle Forms to insert a second line based on 1st row, so why not in the ADF?

  Mr President

  When possible in Oracle Forms to insert a second line based on 1st row, so why not in the ADF?

  The user just enter data in the Module of sales in one line of a Bill as below

  and it is displayed in two rows in financial Module.like below how to proceed in the ADF.

  You can see that invoice line contains the sales tax and the gross sales amounts, then it is posted to the financial Module above two lines.

  How to make ADF

  Respect of

  What I realized, this is:

  -You have a table in you screen.

  -You call CreateInsert 2 times to create 2 rows at the same time.

  -You will enter value in a specific column (c1) line1

  Looking for the value that you entered in row1 can be completely copied in the same column (c1), but in line2. is this correct?

  If so try to do the following:

  1. in the table inputText (c1) column set autoSubmit = true and setValueChangeListener to a method in backbean

  2. in the inputTextValueChangeListener method to write this code

    public void inputTextValueChangeListener(ValueChangeEvent valueChangeEvent)
    {
      DCIteratorBinding tableIter = (DCIteratorBinding) BindingContext.getCurrent().getCurrentBindingsEntry().get("tableIteratorName");// write table iterator name from pageDef.
      for (int i = 0; i < tableIter.getViewObject().getEstimatedRowCount(); i++)
      {
        ViewRowImpl myRow = (ViewRowImpl) tableIter.getRowAtRangeIndex(i);
        EntityImpl entityImpl = myRow.getEntity(0);
        if (EntityImpl.STATUS_NEW == entityImpl.getEntityState())
        {
          System.out.println("New row found");
          myRow.setAttribute("AttributeName", valueChangeEvent.getNewValue());// write attribute name

  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.
