For Update Query from ORACLE Forms

Hi
We are using Oracle Forms 10g running with 10g database 10.2.0.1.0. We happend to see a query which is getting generated in AWR report like Select rowid, all_columns from TableName for Update of C1 Nowait. But no such query is really written in forms and we are aware that, Any query prefixed with rowid is definitely executing from Forms. But how the ForUpdate and Nowait clause is appended to the query.
We have checked the following properties in the database Block
*1) Locking Mode is set to Automatic*
*2) Update Changed Columns only is set to YES*
*3) Query all records is set to No (Though this particular property may not be relevant to the issue)*
What is the property or setting which might trigger such a query from ORACLE Forms with ForUpdate and Nowait clause.
Any ideas/suggestions on why such behaviour. Please have a healthy discussion on this. Thanks in advance.

you can't dynamically add a query to the data model in reports.
You should look into the XML based customization of Oracle Reports. This will enable you to define a report dynamically by creating a definition in XML.
Also another option is to have the report with a query in it and use lexical parameters in reports to pass the query definition or just the where part of it.
Look at the reports online help for both of these solutions.

Passing a value for date parameter from Oracle Forms to BIP

Hi
I have created a report with the following SQL query:
select
d_tables.d_seq,
to_date(d_tables.d_created) creation_date,
d_tables.d_created_by created_by,
d_tables.d_pk,
d_tables.table_name,
d_tables.comments
from
d_tables, d_applications
where
d_tables.d_ppk = d_applications.d_pk
and to_date(d_tables.d_created) >= nvl(:P_CRE_DATE_FROM, to_date(d_tables.d_created))
and to_date(d_tables.d_created) <= nvl(:P_CRE_DATE_TO, to_date(d_tables.d_created))
The parameters P_CRE_DATE_FROM and P_CRE_DATE_TO have been set up as date in BI Publisher with format dd-MMM-yyyy
The report works fine when launched in BI Publisher.
I want to call this report from Oracle Forms and I'm trying to pass the values for both the parameters. However, the report does not generate output based on values passed.
Does it have to do with datatype? Does anyone know a solution for this?
Kind regards,
Aparna

Thanks for your suggestion. I am already referring to the whitepaper and have integrated Forms with BI Publisher. The parameter passing is working fine for a varchar2 type of parameter. However, for a date type, there seems to be some problem.

Why have you started another thread on the same thing?
FOR UPDATE cursor is causing Blocking/ Dead Locking issues
Just use one thread to avoid confusion.
The fact that nobody has answered on the other thread for a couple of days could be to do with it being the weekend and most people are not at work.
Either be patient or, if it's more "urgent" than that, raise a SR/Tar with Oracle metalink.

Insert / Update from Oracle Forms -- URGENT Please thanks

Hello All,
I need to create form which can be use for two purposes. i.e insert and update
I have one table called emp which has 50 columns.
Only four columns has not null constraint.
I need to insert values in only these columns.
From SQLPLUS it can be cone as below:
insert ito emp values ('333','2222','007','AA','01-JAN-2007','','','','','','','','','',........);
After that I need to update one of the coulmn with the value as
update emp
set zipcode = 'Y'
where empt# = 007;
How could I achive this from Oracle form.
Any help will be appricated.
D

Why handle updates in the On-Update trigger? Oracle Forms already handles this for you. You update a data value in a field and click on the SAVE button (assuming you have a Save button) and the Oracle Forms handles the Update. The On-Update trigger is provided so you can perform processing in addition to the default UPDATE.

Outer join query for SQL server from Oracle

Hi All,
My question is regarding making queries from Oracle to SQL Server database thorugh DBLink.
In my oracle database I have a DBLink emp.world for SQL Server database.
I need to query SQL Server data from oracle (so that this query can be combined with other oracle tables).
Query is given below:
SELECT
        a."EmpID" as "Employee ID",
        a."EmpStatus" "Employee Status"
        b."EmpSub" as "Employee Subjects"
FROM
        [email protected] a
        left outer join [email protected] b on a."EmpID" = b."suEmpID"
ORDER BY a."EmpID";My problem is when I run the same query from oracle, it does not show the EmpID that does not exist in Subjects table, but when run from actual SQL Server database, it shows all the records.
Samples are given below:
Run from Oracle
Employee ID      Employee Status     Employee Subjects
101                     Active                     Maths
102                     Active                     Maths
102                     Active                     Physics
104                   Inactive                  Chemistry
Run form SQL Server
Employee ID      Employee Status     Employee Subjects
101                     Active                     Maths

103                 Active                       NULL
104             Inactive            ChemistryI am not sure why in oracle outer join for SQL server tables is not working. What is the right way for outer join in this case.
I am using oracle database 10gR2 and SQL Server 2005.
Please Help.
Thanks.

SELECT
a."EmpID" as "Employee ID",
a."EmpStatus" "Employee Status"
b."EmpSub" as "Employee Subjects"
FROM
[email protected] a
left outer join [email protected] b on a."EmpID" = b."suEmpID"
ORDER BY a."EmpID";
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/queries006.htm#sthref3175
From your description, it appears you may need a right outer join. You want to get back all the rows from 'B', not from 'A'. Try a right join and let us know.

For Update Query

Hi All,
I having block level 8000 records, I Scroll down from First record to last record it is takeing more time.
I Observed tkproof while scrolling two select statments are running..
1) pre-query block level
2) For update query
For update query -> How is is forming? Any Property or some else?
I am not able to find the second query..where it is forming..How to restrict the second query.
Query Array size - 10
Number of records buffered - 10
Number of records Displayed - 10
Query all records - No
Locking mode - Immediate
Key mode - Automatic
Version - Oracle 10g
Plz ........any

The for update -query is generaetd by forms when its locking the record. If you didn't change anything in the record "by hand", check if there is some code in the POST-QUERY-trigger which forces the record to be locked. if its the POST-QUERY you can issue the following command to avoid the lock at the end of the POST-QUERY:
SET_RECORD_PROPERTY(:SYSTEM.TRIGGER_BLOCK, :SYSTEM.TRIGGER_RECORD, STATUS, QUERY_STATUS);

Difference in select for update of - in Oracle Database 10g and 11g

Hi, I found out that Oracle Database 10g and 11g treat the following PL/SQL block differently (I am using scott schema for convenience):
DECLARE
  v_ename bonus.ename%TYPE;
BEGIN
  SELECT b.ename
    INTO v_ename
    FROM bonus b
    JOIN emp e ON b.ename = e.ename
    JOIN dept d ON d.deptno = e.deptno
   WHERE b.ename = 'Scott'
     FOR UPDATE OF b.ename;
END;
/While in 10g (10.2) this code ends successfully (well NO_DATA_FOUND exception is raised but that is expected), in 11g (11.2) it raises exception "column ambiguously defined". And that is definitely not expected. It seems like it does not take into account table alias because I found out that when I change the column in FOR UPDATE OF e.empno (also does not work) to e.mgr (which is unique) it starts working. So is this some error in 11g? Any thoughts?

It seems that my question was answered here - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2736426/difference-in-select-for-update-of-in-oracle-database-10g-and-11g

The behaviour seems like it really is a bug and can be avoided using non-ANSI syntax. (It makes me wonder why Oracle maintains two query languages while dumb me thinks that this is just a preprocessor matter and query engine could be the same).

Frm-40505:ORACLE error: unable to perform query in oracle forms 10g

Hi,
I get error frm-40505:ORACLE error: unable to perform query on oracle form in 10g environment, but the same form works properly in 6i.
Please let me know what do i need to do to correct this problem.
Regards,
Priya

Hi everyone,
I have block created on view V_LE_USID_1L (which gives the error frm-40505) . We don't need any updation on this block, so the property 'updateallowed' is set to 'NO'.
To fix this error I modified 'Keymode' property, set it to 'updatable' from 'automatic'. This change solved the problem with frm-40505 but it leads one more problem.
The datablock v_le_usid_1l allows user to enter the text (i.e. updated the field), when the data is saved, no message is shown. When the data is refreshed on the screen, the change done previously on the block will not be seen (this is because the block updateallowed is set to NO), how do we stop the fields of the block being editable?
We don't want to go ahead with this solution as, we might find several similar screens nad its diff to modify each one of them individually. When they work properly in 6i, what it doesn't in 10g? does it require any registry setting?
Regards,
Priya

I need call a Oracle report from Oracle Form and found the the following procedure from this forum. I have 2 parameters 'start_date' and 'end_date' passing to called report. The following example just have onle parameter

Update query against InfoPath form data

Hi,
We are using SharePoint Enterprise 2010, and have set up a series of InfoPath forms to manage various aspects of the projects we run (request forms, change control, toll gating, status reports, etc). The forms are all created in InfoPath and save the
data to form libraries on SharePoint.
We are in the process of revamping the status report. The fields for Accomplishments, Planned Activities, Risks and Dependencies were origianally set up as plain text. We are moving to a bullted field for each. My concern is that once we
add the new fields to the published form, the old ones will disappear fom view. So if we pull up an older status report, the information wont be available to view.
Is there any way to write an update query against this form data? Supposed I add a new bulleted field for "Accomplishments_NEW" and change the existing field to "Accomplishments_OLD". If I were working with in Access, it would
be a simple update query where the field selected would be "Accomplishments_NEW" and the update value would be "Accomplishments_OLD". I have actually tried this through Access but we only seem to be able to read this data through
Access, not write to it.
Is there any way to make such a change on the SharePoint side?
Dennis

Yes.
The approach is to add two fields:
- Accomplishments_v2 and Accomplishments_v1_Loaded (true/false)
when the form loads, if _v1_Loaded is false, migrate the data from the old field into _v2, and then set _v1_loaded = true

Calling web service from oracle forms 10g

Problem Description:

END;
Any help/ideas on this is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Edited by: KE Nora Loera on Jun 1, 2012 1:24 PM

My primary skill is PL/SQL but the only information I found on Oracle's site to call a web service from a 10g Form was creating a jar file and importing the java class. Since I don't want to ask our corporate IT to make changes on the UNIX box for the jar files I went a different route.
I use UTL_HTTP.BEGIN_REQUEST to call a URL then load I load the data to a table as a CLOB since we have more than 4000 characters. Now I need to parse the XML and load it into a form. I have never done this so if there is a helpful site please let me know. I have looked at several sites but none do what I want.

How to print BIP reports from Oracle Forms?

Hi all,
I have a question in regards to printing BIP reports from Oracle Forms... We are aiming for a server installation of BIP with integration to Oracle Forms using SSO to handle security. We use Forms built-in web.show_document to render and view the report in PDF/Excel etc... We would like to by pass the viewing and print some of these reports directly to the printer.
Any idea/suggestions how we can go about this?
Thanks in advance for your time.
Yahya

Yahya,
via HTTP it's not possible to send a report directly to the printer. You had to go via the Scheduler, which is able to do that. With the WebService API you can call a report with the Scheduler and Execute Immediate.

:reptitle := 'Report Preview Window';
numWinHandle := Crystal_CrystalCtrl.PrintReport( :Item('Control.CrystalReport1').interface );
Set_Application_Property(Cursor_Style,'DEFAULT');
END;NOTE: Change the report name and path according to your required file name and path in
the "Crystal_CrystalCtrl.ReportFileName" method call. Also, the connection string shown
assumes that you will use the current USER and PASSWORD for the Form.
- To make the above Form generic so that you can run any Crystal report from it, then create
a parameter for the report name and pass it to the Form using CALL_FORM from any other Form.
Then just replace the file name with the passed parameter.
-. Run the Form
If its correct/helpful please mark it thanks.
