Forms Generator problems

I'm trying to use form generator from Designer 6i rel 2.
I found big problems regenerating a migrated application.
Layout of most of my blocks is completely changed and I can't reproduce the previous behaviour.
I found some solutions using relative tabs but may problems are still there.
The biggest problems I've are on tab canvases :
1 - I use the same font as before (6.0) but the generated canvases are smaller and fields don't fit in it.
2 - The height of the tab canvases is smaller then before and form developer tries to reduce it every time I run it giging me a CDG-3484 "error"
3 - the stacked footer disappeared (sometime totaly somtime partialy).
Please give me any suggestion or idea.
TIA

We noticed the same thing when we started creating Headstart for Designer 6i. Some things we found:
- We used to always leave page width/height blank to get optimal layout. Now it seems to work better if you specify a value.
- We found that we get better results when we explicitly specify height and width on all displayed items as well. (We didn't used to ever specify a width on a date column, nor height on any column that we wanted to default to 1.)
- Designer used to widen the page when an individual item was too wide. Now it narrows the item.
- Designer has changed its algorithm for determining item width.
- Designer has added new objects in its object library for Display Only (_DO) objects which affects the layout of these objects particularly.
Of course, using Headstart we had the luxury of knowning that our object library, template form and preference settings had not changed. If you are using the Designer default object library, template and preferences, I recommend you carefully compare the old versus the new. There may be changes to these underlying objects which would of course affect your generated modules.

    Could you go into a little more detail on when you ran into the problem?  Things like:
    is it after you added a rule to the form?
    is it when you first try to bring up the form in an environment where you have not used Web Form Designer previously?
    is it after you added a widget to the form?
    Almost certain this won't help, but here's my blog on some common things you need to be aware of before starting to use the Web Form Designer or Process Player features in 11.1.1.7: Getting Started with Oracle BPM Composer Web Forms and Process Player | AVIO Consulting

  • Forms Generator Performances

    I migrated some workstation from Designer 2.1.2 to Dssigner 6.0
    Patchset 1.
    The configurations of systems didn't change
    . 128 MB RAM
    . Windows NT
    . Server Oracle 8.0.5.
    The form generator is now much slower than before because of
    it's memory consumption.
    I don't know if the porblem is Designer Editor or Net8 (the 2
    main differences) but the result is drammatic.
    Any suggestion ??
    TIA

    I do have similar problem, I am running NT 8.05 server, and Form 6.0 client. It takes about 10-15 seconds to bring the simple form runtime up. I noticed before the runtime form comes up to the screen, my CPU usage became 100% utilised for a 2 seconds. I also use file and registry tracking utilities to monitor their behaviour but I still cannot track down what happens in between the start and the first 10 sec. Looks like it is idle doing nothing, hopefully someone may have an answers. In case, it is the hardware deficiency problem, I am currently using Celeron 466, with 384 Mb hdd on my client, same hardware configure with my NT Server 4.0 Service Pack 4. Thanks

  • Migrating from 6i to 9i for form generating starting with designer

    I try to migrating our forms generating 5-6 years start with designer, but they are finished through form builder.
    When I tried to use migrating assistant wizard, I get
    LMDMANA.CG$WHEN_NEW_FORM_INSTANCE: The String CALL was found. If it is an occurence of the Forms Built-In, It should be replaced with CALL_FORM.
    Here is my LMDMANA.CG$WHEN_NEW_FORM_INSTANCE procedure
    /* CG$WHEN_NEW_FORM_INSTANCE */
    PROCEDURE CG$WHEN_NEW_FORM_INSTANCE IS
    BEGIN
    /* CGLY$INIT_CANVASES */
    /* Call procedure to ensure correct canvases are visible */
    BEGIN
    CGLY$CANVAS_MANAGEMENT;
    END;
    /* CGBS$STARTUP */
    /* Perform start-up processing for Block Synchronisation */
    BEGIN
    /* Set the defaults for the globals */
    :global.cg$query_mode := 'A';

    /* Set the query mode items */
    CGBS$SET_QUERY_MODE( :GLOBAL.CG$QUERY_MODE );
    END;
    END;
    I posted it through metalink and I was told it must be regenerated through designer, and there is no way to do migration.

    Hi,
    actually you would upgrade the application sources from Forms 6i to Forms9i and then run teh Forms Migration Assistant for the clean up /this at least is my understanding after asking one of our Designer Product Managers).

  • How to generate all forms at a time in designer using form generator?

    Hi All,
    I am using designer 9.0.4.6 .
    I am having so many forms in the module ....
    So how can I generate all forms at time using form generator ?
    Thank you
    sai

    There is a batch generate option inside the menu of the Design Editor. You can't batch generate by selecting all your forms and choose generate, this will only generate one of the selected forms.

  • Form Generator for UDO

    Hello,
    I want to know about form generators for UDO.
    The default forms generated when we create our UDO contains only a grid, this forms are very simple and not very useful for big applications.
    My question is there is any form generator that allow us to generate complex forms with textfields, lablels and tabs from an UDO and his childs.
    i hear about a file "XmlFormGenerator.cs", i don't know if it's that i'm searching for, but i cant find it in sdn.
    Thanks.

    I found the tool i'm searching for, it's in the Development Environment Tools v1.4 for Business One 2007, and it's work perfectly, you have just to specify the UDO and it's creates an XML Form for the UDO and his childs, in the Form all operations are supportes : Add, Update and delete.
    There is the link to download it : https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/downloads?rid=/library/uuid/109ce044-6fbc-2a10-f59e-e92f3c775781

  • Form routine problem

    what is the exact use of the form routine assigned in nace?
    eg:
    o/p type                                     script drv prog   form routine  formname
    NEU        (Purchase order)     SAPFM06P     ENTRY_NEU     MEDRUCK
    if i create any modifications in the form routine using itcsy then will i have to write all the code within this form routine?
    eg:
    perform <form routine name> in program zprog1.
    using
    changing
    endperform.
    i have searched sdn but cudnt find a suitable answer. pls explain with an example.

    Hi,
    The routine mentioned in the Nace will have the logic to Get the data required to ptint on the form and also it call the Form using the function modules lije Open_Form Start_form Write_form. If it is a smartform it calls the Smart form generated FM.
    Ex NACE--> ENTRY_NEU
    Driver Program in NACE is ZSAPFM06P
    This prgram contains the form  ENTRY_NEU
    Form ENTRY_NEU.
    *get the data
    *Call the form
    Endform.
    I hope it is clear.

  • Designer 6i gives Forms Generator warnings

    Hi,
    We have recently upgraded to Designer 6i from
    Designer 6.0. Some of our user modified code is not generated and I'm getting the following warning from the Forms Generator:
    Message
    CDG-00036: Module KN_HURTIGREG: User modified logic ignored, generatable code not generated
    I would very much like to know which user
    modified code is being ignored. Is there a way to find out? Since the code generated from 6i differs a good deal from the code
    from 6.0 it is not easy to find out manually.
    Double clicking the message in the message window does not take me to piece of code that
    is missing (as one could expect).
    Thanks,
    Haakon

    Name in database is not used in the generateg code, e.g. Validation Trigger!*BTW, what is your Validation Trigger? Its text, please.
    Why do you expect the name in the trigger?
    Ummm... Well, the Oracle Designer Online Help states on the subject:
    Name in Database:Optional, 100 characters
    The name to be used by Generators instead of the table/view/materialized view name within the FROM clause of generated queries. This name is used without any user/schema prefix, regardless of preference settings (TABOWN). A suggestion list displays the Global Synonym Names for all implementations of the relation but free-format text may also be entered here.
    These Generators use this property. Click for more information:

    So the Name in Database is supposed to be used in queries only.
    But you should see the Global variable naming convention (GLNCON) preference. It's quite intriguing.

  • Coaxing Forms Generator Into Using Frames

    I'm quickly falling in love with Designer. There is one thing I'd really like to figure out.
    Forms Builder's Layout Wizard puts a frame around the blocks it generates. The Designer's Forms Generator creates a box and a title. Forms Builder's frame objects look much nicer than Forms Generator's simple box and text object, because of the beveling and what not.
    How can I get Forms Generator to generate frames?

    You can read "Generating frames" topic in the Designer on-line help.

  • Validating HTML form generated by servlet

    Hi, folks. I have a dynamic html form generated by a servlet class. Once user fills up the form and submits it, i have another servlet does the form validation. My question is how can i reload the generated html form with error messages when user's inputs failed validation?
    I am not able to use JavaScript pop-up windows for doing validation cause the page will be displayed on PDA and cell phone as well. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Could you combine the servlets.
    I'm not sure but then you may be able to have the generator servlet in the doGet method and the validator in the doPost method. (don't quote me on this)
    If you combine the servlets you have access to the original data (the form), that way if any validation errors occur you can repost the form with their entered data and an error message.

    You are probably using not the right user (or the necessary rights) when compiling the form. When you start Generating, click Options, click Compile tab and enter the connect string of the shema owner (or a user that has select rights on all the tables in the schema). If you start Forms Builder with the generated form and log in with the right user you should be able to compile the form also (with the user - and rights - you are currently using you'll get the same error in Forms Builder).
