Form - How do I display a username on open, save or print?

I am hoping that there is a simple way to display a Windows username on a form automatically? I have hit some forums that discuss using java and such, but I am hopeful it is not the only solution? I just need the Windows username to display in a field or in the footer when the form is opened, saved or printed I really don't care. This has to work when I email the form to user with just Adobe Reader too. If someone can please provide me with the intructions I would be eternally greatful :-)
Garrett

Okay so I do see the Identity section under preferences. If it is easier to display this information (Login Name) in a form field I could live with it. It is the same as my Windows username, so this is acceptable. What is the process? Can anyone provide me with the instructions and code that I need?
I would prefer to be able to add a field that enables this functionality per form. When the form is opened in reader this field is automatically populated with the username and it can't be deleted or changed. I would even like to be sure this field is populated with the username even if the user just right clicks on the file in Windows and sends it to a printer. I can live without the last requirement :-)
Thanks for any help you can provide...

How can i display the MRP controller in transfer order print?

Dear all:
   When i print the transfer order(Tcode: LT31) ,i want to display the MRP controller in the output form.
How can i get that ?
I found the user exit MWMD0001 and add the code in the include like this:
   select single dispo from marc
     where matnr = ltap-matnr
           and werks = ltap-werks.
     zdispo = marc-dispo.
But caz the "zdispo" could not been brought to the "print form " of the report RLVSDR40 which control the print LT31.So ,i failed.
Anyone advice?

The problem is as zdispo is declared in your user exit it doesn't become available. Had it been declared variable in the include of the program for LT31 you would be able to use it directly in the script.
Try doing this instead in your layout set.
/: PERFORM MRP_CONTROLLER IN PROGRAM ZABCXYZ
/: USING &LTAP-MATNR&
/: USING &LTAP-WERKS&
/: CHANGING &ZDISPO&
/: ENDPERFORM
in your program ZABCXYZ.
FORM MRP_CONTROLLER tables in_par structure itcsy
                           out_par structure itcsy.
tables: marc.
data: matnr like marc-matnr.
data: werks like marc-werks.
READ TABLE IN_PAR WITH KEY LTAP-MATNR.
CHECK SY-SUBRC = 0.
MATNR = IN_PAR-VALUE.
READ TABLE IN_PAR WITH KEY LTAP-WERKS.
CHECK SY-SUBRC = 0.
WERKS = IN_PAR-VALUE.
select single dispo from marc
where matnr = ltap-matnr
and werks = ltap-werks.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
READ TABLE OUT_PAR WITH KEY ZDISPO.
CHECK SY-SUBRC = 0.
OUT_PAR-VALUE = MARC-DISPO.
ELSE.
CLEAR OUT_PAR-VALUE.
ENDIF.
MODIFY OUT_PAR INDEX SY-TABIX.
ENDFORM.
This should work.

How to NOT display header details in every page when printed with PLD

Hi All
I am printing a report of all related activities of a business partner using PLD. in the printout the header details of business partner such as name, phone details are printing in every page along with contents. how to avoid this situation printing the header details in everypage except first page?
SV Reddy

Hi,
Add a formula field to the page header. The formula field will need to contain the following text on the Content tab.
CurrentPage()
Add another formula field, once again add the following to the Content tab
Field_101=='1'
in the example above, Field_101 is the field id for the first formula field you added.
Now all you need to do is link the fields that you only want printed on the 1st page to the 2nd formula field you added.

How to Display Windows Username in a PDF File?

I have a PDF form, it has a Name and a Date field, I setup the Date to display todays Date automatically using JavaScript. Now since my users have unique Windows login names. I want to automatically display there username or Windows name in the Name field. Can I do this using JavaScript? or is there a different way? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here's a barebones script that you can call from a script in your form to retrieve the login name of the user:
// Folder-level JavaScript function
var getLoginName = app.trustedFunction(
    function () {
        // Get and return the user's login name
        app.beginPriv();
        return identity.loginName;
        app.EndPriv();
This needs to be included in a JavaScript file that's installed in the correct location. It's just a text file, so you can create/edit it with a text editor, but make sure the extension is ".js". For more information about how to determine where to place the file, see: http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/2006/folder_level_scripts
More information on all of this is in the Acrobat JavaScript reference: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/javascript.html
To populate a text field with the login name, do something like:
// Populate field with loginName
getField("text1").value = getLoginName();
Change "text1" with the actual name of the field in your form. You can place this code in a document-level JavaScript so it executes when the form is opened.
Note that all of this code is the bare minimum, and you may want to expand it to check for errors, etc.

Hai !!!!
i am new for forms,.......any body tell me, how can i display recent no of records updated or no of records deleted or no of records are inserted in a form. these records count are display in display items....give me detail explination......
Subbu.....

the easiest way is copy and paste the oracle-forms example from the OU.
You need form-level-trigger ON-ERROR + ON-MESSAGE, POST-INSERT, POST-UPDATE, POST-DELETE, three global variables and a procedure:
ON-ERROR
handle_message( error_code, 'ERROR: ' || ERROR_TYPE || '-' || TO_CHAR(ERROR_CODE) ||': '|| ERROR_TEXT );
ON-MESSAGE
handle_message( message_code, MESSAGE_TYPE || '-' || TO_CHAR(MESSAGE_CODE) || ': ' || MESSAGE_TEXT );
PROCEDURE handle_message( message_number IN NUMBER, message_line IN VARCHAR2 ) IS
BEGIN
    IF message_number IN ( 40400, 40406, 40407 )
    THEN
      DEFAULT_VALUE( '0', 'GLOBAL.insert' );
      DEFAULT_VALUE( '0', 'GLOBAL.update' );
      DEFAULT_VALUE( '0', 'GLOBAL.delete' );
      MESSAGE('Save Ok: ' ||
        :GLOBAL.insert || ' records inserted, ' ||
       :GLOBAL.update || ' records updated, ' ||
       :GLOBAL.delete || ' records deleted !!!' );
      ERASE('GLOBAL.insert');
      ERASE('GLOBAL.update');
      ERASE('GLOBAL.delete');
    ELSE
         MESSAGE(message_line );
          END IF;
END;
POST-INSERT
DEFAULT_VALUE('0', 'GLOBAL.insert');
:GLOBAL.insert := TO_CHAR( TO_NUMBER( :GLOBAL.insert ) + 1 );
POST-UPDATE
DEFAULT_VALUE('0', 'GLOBAL.update');
:GLOBAL.update := TO_CHAR( TO_NUMBER( :GLOBAL.update ) + 1 );
POST-DELETE
DEFAULT_VALUE('0', 'GLOBAL.delete');
:GLOBAL.delete := TO_CHAR( TO_NUMBER( :GLOBAL.delete ) + 1 );try it

How do I pass a username form variable from a drop down list/menu to another page?

Hi,
I have a login_success.php page that has a drop down list/menu (which lists usernames). I want the user to click on their user name, and when they click the submit button the username information to be passed over to the username.php page which will contain a recordset, sorted by username.
How do I pass the username info from the drop down list/menu to the username.php page?
The drop down menu is connected to a recordset listUsername, I have filtered the recordset with the Form Variable = username, and I have used the POST method to send the username to the page username.php. I'm not sure how to structure the php or which page to place it on.
<form id="form1" name="form1 method="post" action="username.php">
     <label for="username_id">choose username:</label>
     <select name="username_id" id-"username_id">
          <option value="1">username1</option>
          <option value="2">username2</option>
          <option value="3">username3</option>
          <option value="4">username4</option>
     </select>
     <input type="submit" name="send" id="send" value="Submit" />
     <input type="username" type="hidden" id="username" value="<?php echo $row_listUsername['username']; ?>" />
</form>
Could somebody help me please?
Thanks.

I would not post the variable over, In this case I personally would send it through the URL and use the $_GET method to retreve it. For Example.
<html>
     <head>
          <title>Test Page</title>
          <script type="text/javascript">
               function userID(){
                    //var ID = form1.userIDs.selectedIndex;
                    var user = form1.userIDs.options[form1.userIDs.selectedIndex].value;
                    window.location = "test.html?userID=" + user;
          </script>
     </head>
     <body>
          <form id="form1">
               <select name="userIDs" id="userIDs" onchange="userID();">
                    <option>Select a User</option>
                    <option value="1">User 1</option>
                    <option value="2">User 2</option>
                    <option value="3">User 3</option>
                    <option value="4">User 4</option>
               </select>
          </form>
     </body>
</html>
//PAGE TO RETRIEVE THE USERNAME
<?php
if(isset($_GET['userID'])
     $userID = $_GET['userID'];
     echo $userID;

How to retain focus in Web forms 6i item when displaying pdf image

How to retain focus in Web forms 6i item when displaying pdf image in a multi-record block?
Hello.
I have a Web Forms 6i program (version Forms 6.0.8.19.2) running in a 3-tier application. The web form program has a multi-record block containing invoices. When navigating to a record, the form should display the PDF invoice image which is stored in an Oracle 8.1.7 database as a BLOB in another window. When user press down-arrow, the next PDF invoice image should be displayed.
I am able to accomplish the functionality above by using web.show_document('URL', target') in the when-new-record-instance. The URL being called is a PL/SQL Web Toolkit stored procedure using wpg_docload.download_file built-in.
The problem is that the focus is lost on the Webform and the focus is shifted to the PDF image window when you navigate to the next record using down-arrow. I want to retain the focus in the form as this is a data-entry form, the operator will use down-arrow to go to the next-record rather than the mouse. I also only want to do this for this Invoice Entry form and NOT to all forms.
Please advise how to resolve this problem. Thank you.
Regards,
Armando

Magesh,
the issue of a SSO protected form showing the logon dialog is a knwon issue for Windows200 and the Oracle9iAS base release. If you applied Forms Patch 1 then this should be solved. Hope that I am right in that you are using Oracle9iAS and not Oracle9iDS. Do you see the Single Sign-On logon screen or the Forms logon dialog directly? Check the forms90.conf file in teh forms90/server directory as this contains the Form sso settings (mod_osso) which by default is commented out and therefore inactive. You need to remove the commenting '#' characters and make sure that each sentence having a '#' in front, after that starts on a new line.
The Forms deployment documentation within the Oracle9iAS docu provides this information too.

How can I get the username and password from Oracle Forms to PJC !

Dear Sir,
I have username,password and push button fields in oracle forms. When user clicks the push button, I need to get username and password field contents to my Pluggable Java Program to authenticate the user trying to login. How can I get those text field contents to my java program..? Looking forward from you soon sir.
Thanks in Advance,
S Ramkumar

I tried that trigger but nothing reflects. I write that method in WHEN_BUTTON_PRESSED trigger.
In the form module I written,
Set_Custom_Property('BL.USERNAME',1,'NAME','');
Set_Custom_Property('BL.PASSWORD',1,'PASS','');
Implementation class of the push button I gave my java class file name.
In Java Code I tried register the form fields like,
public static final ID userName = ID.registerProperty("NAME");
public static final ID passWord = ID.registerProperty("PASS");
In Java Code I tried get the contents from registered properties,
public boolean setProperty(ID property, Object value) {
if(property == userName) {
System.out.println("Just I wish to see the name entered" + value.toString());
if(property == passWord) {
System.out.println("Just I wish to see the pass entered" + value.toString());
But even System.out.println() is working.
What's wrong with this code sir ???
Can you tell me How to register and get those field values in Java ?

How to not display nodes in a tree if Oracle roles are NOT used?

How to not display nodes in a tree if Oracle roles are NOT used?
We don't use Oracle DB roles to grant users access to Forms from the menu. We use a template and role system of our own. Basically a few tables with templates and roles.
We want to convert our normal Forms menu to a tree menu and one of our key requirements is that when the tree is populated ONLY nodes with programs (i.e. forms) he has been granted to execute is shown.
Since we don't use Oracle Roles how to do this in a tree?
I created a function to show/hide LEAF nodes, BUT problem is that there are sub-menu nodes showing even if the leaf-nodes under it has not being displayed. My function has suppressed it.
My tree query is like this:
SELECT
     t.status, LEVEL, t.label, t.icon, t.node VALUE
FROM
     tma_tree_menu t
WHERE
tma_authenticate_sys_chk_role(USER, t.node) = 1
CONNECT BY
     PRIOR t.node = t.master
START WITH
     t.MASTER IS NULL
ORDER SIBLINGS BY
t.position
The tma_authenticate_sys_chk_role will return 1 only if the user has access to the form under that node.
I tried the FTree functions in Forms but even that has nothing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Would you share the source code? I guess what I need is how exactly you retreive the user credentials from the DB table and set that boolean variable.
and then how to condition it in UIX?

You should be able to findout NULL using isnull([object]) function.. at report layer..
Try with the below formula which should work for you
=If Isnull(trim([object])) then "Inpatient Stays" else [Object]

Query by example - how can I display VCRow in JTable?

I would like to provide the user with a searchable table.
Actually I would like to use two tables: one, displaying one row where the user can specify the search criteria. And the second table should display the data found.
I could store the entered criteria locally in a hashmap in TableModel, for example, then create a WHERE clause. This solution is quite messy, since the user can add, remove and rearrange the columns of both tables.
Or I could use -I hope- the query-by-example feature, like this:
am = app.getApplicationModule();
ViewObject vo = am.createViewObject( "MyVO", "mypackage1.PatView" );
ViewCriteria vc = vo.createViewCriteria();
ViewCriteriaRow vcr = vc.createViewCriteriaRow();
Now I can set attributes and use vo.applyViewCriteria() to find my data.
But how can I bring the first JTable to display this single ViewCriteriaRow, so that the user can do the editing?
The JUNavigationBar does it, if I am not mistaken. It switches the PanelBinding to find mode, and then a JTable displays a ViewCriteriaRow (?) instead of the ViewObject's data. But I don't want to use the bar. How do I create this behaviour manually?
The javadoc of JUPanelBinding says:
"Sets this panel and all its associated iterators into find mode."
So I guess that setting iterators into find mode is what I need. But I cannot figure out how to do that. Who can?

You cannot set the iterators in a panelBinding to separate find/data modes individually.
However you can create two JUPanelBinding objects one for the findMode form and one that displays Data.
here's what I did to modify a generated SingleForm, to display two panels of the same type one in find mode and other in data mode.
I changed the jbInit method of the "LayoutPanel" class to be like:
//declare this as a member of the class.
JButton findBtn;
public void jbInit() throws Exception
// Panel layout
masterViewPanel = new PanelDeptView(panelBinding);
//create another instance of PanelBinding for a second (findform) DeptView panel.
JUPanelBinding binding = new JUPanelBinding("Project3.Mypackage1Module", this);
binding.setApplication(panelBinding.getApplication());
masterViewPanel1 = new PanelDeptView(binding); //create second instance
findBtn = masterViewPanel1.navBar.getButton(JUNavigationBar.BUTTON_FIND);
findBtn.doClick(); //set the second instance in find mode.
//add a listener on the second instance's execute button so that it resets the form into find mode
//this forces the second instance to be in find mode when execute button is pressed.
masterViewPanel1.navBar.getButton(JUNavigationBar.BUTTON_EXECUTE).addActionListener(new ActionListener()
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ev)
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run()
findBtn.doClick();
this.setLayout(panelLayout);
add(masterViewPanel, BorderLayout.WEST);
//add the second instance.
add(masterViewPanel1, BorderLayout.EAST);
I also had to call findBtn.doClick() again in the "constructor" that takes (JUApplication, boolean) after the panelBinding is executed,
to force the initial startup of this panel in findmode

Hi adam,
did you search the forum? You will find a lot of threads handling the problem of Excel file access.
In short: you need to use ActiveX (the RGT also uses ActiveX under the hood)!
