How can I call a COM object from a PL/SQL CODE

Hi everyone,
Does anyone know how to call a COM object from a stored procedure in oracle.
a sample of code
please help,
Hilaire

Are you familiar with external procedures? Basically, you can expose functions exported by a shared library (i.e. a DLL on Windows) to the Oracle database. My assumption is that you'd probably need to write a wrapper DLL around the COM object, since I believe you can only pass fundamental data types back and forth (i.e. no object references). You'd expose the method(s) of that wrapper DLL to the database via external procedures.

Calling a Database Procedure from an Oracle Form

Hi,
I have a question we will be calling the procedure from an Oracle form and through that can we pass like 1000 input values to this procedure and we need to return certain values back to the Oracle Form also. Here the proceduere take two or more parameters. Please advice.
To receive the input values we have the input parameter of the procedure as type object, so that we can receive multiple parameter values.
Thanks and Regards

Can u call a BIP Report from within Oracle Forms?

Hi,
We want to use BIP as a reports solution for a Forms 10g Application. Currently we use oracle Reports. I would be very grateful if anybody can show us how to do the following as I could not find it in any documentation. Of course, I get the feeling that these cannot be done, but I want to double-check.
(1.) How to call a BIP report with a input parameters from within an Oracle 10g Menu? i.e. when the user clicks on the menu item, BIP should be started and it should run the report within the BIP.
-- So we also need a way to pass parameters to the BIP
-- Also BIP has a different username/password also
Is this possible or NOT POSSIBLE( i.e. U have to ask the user to login to BIP and then run the report)?
Thanks & Regards,

How do I call a SAP RFC from an Oracle Form using webutils CLIENT_OLE2?

Hi guys,
Your help on this problem would be greatly appreciated.
We have an older forms 6i application which we are currently updating to 10g (which is a pain itself... but that's a different story.) which currently uses unssupported c++ routines to connect to the SAP system, we want to do away with this c++.
What I have so far is the following test code:
PROCEDURE cmd_summary
IS
o_sap_log client_ole2.obj_type;
o_sap_conn client_ole2.obj_type;
o_sap_rfcc client_ole2.obj_type;
-- o_sap_rfcx client_ole2.obj_type;
-- o_sap_rfc client_ole2.obj_type;
v_args ole2.list_type;
v_logon BOOLEAN := FALSE;
BEGIN
:block3.txt_result := 'TEST Started!';
--create logon control object
o_sap_log := client_ole2.create_obj ('SAP.logoncontrol.1');
--create the function object
o_sap_rfcc := client_ole2.create_obj ('SAP.Functions');
--create a new connection object
o_sap_conn := client_ole2.invoke_obj (o_sap_log, 'NewConnection');
--set the connection properties
client_ole2.set_property (o_sap_conn, 'System', caps$get_sys_param ('SAP_DST'));
client_ole2.set_property (o_sap_conn, 'MessageServer', caps$get_sys_param ('SAP_HST'));
client_ole2.set_property (o_sap_conn, 'GroupName', 'DEVELOP');
client_ole2.set_property (o_sap_conn, 'client', caps$get_sys_param ('SAP_CLT'));
client_ole2.set_property (o_sap_conn, 'SystemNumber', caps$get_sys_param ('SAP_SYN'));
client_ole2.set_property (o_sap_conn, 'User', caps$get_sys_param ('SAP_USR'));
client_ole2.set_property (o_sap_conn, 'Password', caps$get_sys_param ('SAP_PWD'));
client_ole2.set_property (o_sap_conn, 'language', caps$get_sys_param ('SAP_LNG'));
--set up the logon arguements
v_args := client_ole2.create_arglist;
client_ole2.add_arg (v_args, 1);
client_ole2.add_arg (v_args, TRUE);
--run the logon function
v_logon := client_ole2.get_bool_property (o_sap_conn, 'logon', v_args);
client_ole2.destroy_arglist (v_args);
IF v_logon
THEN
:block3.txt_result := :block3.txt_result || CHR (10) || 'LOGON Worked!!';
ELSE
:block3.txt_result := :block3.txt_result || CHR (10) || 'LOGON Failed!!';
END IF;
:block3.txt_result := :block3.txt_result || CHR (10) || 'TEST Ended!';
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS
THEN
:block3.txt_result := :block3.txt_result || CHR (10) || SQLERRM (SQLCODE);
END cmd_summary;
NOTE: the get_sys_param functionis returning text from a table.
This seems to work okay, the logon command returning a TRUE. All good so far.
However, when I try to then use this connection for anything then I stumble and fall!
I've seen an example in VB where the SAP RFC object is "assigned" the connection object by simply stating:
Set oSAPrfc.Connection = oSAPconn
Where oSAPconn is setup in a similar way to my o_Sap_conn in the above example.
I have tried using the CLIENT_OLE2.SET_PROPERTY procedures but I don't think that's quite right.
I've tried using invoke, to try and "run" the method like:
v_args := CLIENT_OLE2.CREATE_ARGLIST;
client_ole2.add_arg_obj(v_args,o_sap_conn);
client_ole2.invoke(o_sap_rfcc,'Connection',v_args);
client_ole2.destroy_arglist(v_args);
but it fails.
I have also tried using the actual Connection function directly:
SAP_ISAPFUNCTIONS.connection(o_sap_rfcc, o_sap_conn);
But that just causes the Forms Server to crash... :?
Has anyone connected to SAP via Forms? I noticed one post on this forum which an example of some code using a SAPBAPI control but not WEBUTIL (Which I think I'd need to use because we are running 10g)
As a side note we are also looking into SAP Adapter as a possible "other" route but this too is getting very complicated... And I can't see a way of connecting a form to the Adpater anyway :(
Any advice would be very much appreciated.

Can anyone help?

How to call userdefined java script function in Oracle Forms 11g.

Hi,
I Created a java script contain a function, that will open and close the browser for some URL.

*windows[i] = window.open(url, ' tabWindow_'+i);*
i++;
*winows[i-1].close();*
*delete windows[i-1];*
return false;
*}* Then i placed the javascript file in path <middleware_home>\user_projects\domains\<domain>\servers\WLS_FORMS\_WL_user\formsapp_11.1.1\e18uoi\war\
After that i called the javascript function in to forms as
WEB.JAVASCRIPT_EVAL_EXPR('webclose.manageWindows();');
When running the form it showing error
FRM-92190: JavaScript is unable to evaluate expression.
If anybody knows pls help me.

Always post code snippets in {code} tags as explained in the FAQ.

This error has nothing to do with Forms, it is an JavaScript error.
Most likely cause is this line
if (url.length) {url.length returns a Whole number and so the conditions would be
if (url.length > 0) {Or
if (url) { // not null checkCheers,

How to call a CORBA Object in a 3rd Party ORB from a EJB

Hello
I found a few articles on the web how to call EJBs for example from C++.
However, I want to do the inverse. I want to resolve an Object (implemented in C++, using OmniORB) via COS-Naming and invoke it from a EJB. I can write a simple Java Client which does this without a problem. But as soon as I try to do the same in EJB I get the following:
[#|2004-11-09T10:48:16.848+0100|WARNING|sun-appserver-pe8.0.0_01|javax.enterprise.resource.corba._DEFAULT_.rpc.transport|_ThreadID=12;|"IOP00710209: (INTERNAL) Unable to create listener thread on the specific port"

at com.sun.corba.ee.spi.oa.ObjectAdapterBase.initializeTemplate(ObjectAdapterBase.java:104)
I think there is somehow a conflict because the SUN Appserver also uses CORBA. My Code looks like this:
String[] a = null;
Properties props = new Properties();
final String CORBA_HOST = "arcos";
final String ORB_INITIAL_PORT = "2809";
props.put("org.omg.CORBA.ORBInitialPort", ORB_INITIAL_PORT);
props.put("org.omg.CORBA.ORBInitialHost", CORBA_HOST);
org.omg.CORBA.ORB orb = org.omg.CORBA.ORB.init(a, props);
So I thought this might be because there is already a ORB initialised. So I replaced the last line with
org.omg.CORBA.ORB orb = org.omg.CORBA.ORB.init();
Which should give me an ORB instance. However I get the following exception:
[#|2004-11-09T11:51:59.206+0100|WARNING|sun-appserver-pe8.0.0_01|javax.enterprise.system.stream.err|_ThreadID=15;|

How register COM object from java?

Hi!
In my user home directory I have myCOM.dll. My sign applet use this myCOM.dll. But before use this dll I must register it (by use regsvr32).When myCOM.dll will be success register my applet can work. The problem is that I can not get answer from regsvr3 (is myCOM.dll are successed registered or not, or is user has a grants to register COM object and so on.)
Again, my java applet can work ONLY when myCOM.dll is registered.
How I can register myCOM.dll from java applet and if registered is not success exit from java applet?

I must not have been clear. I am not asking how to access a COM object using Java, we already have tools to do that.
The question is whether there is a way to define a COM interface using Java. I want to code my COM object in Java. Right now we are using PowerBuilder to code COM objects. I would rather use Java.

Calling (VB)activex object from JSP

Hi,
I am trying to call a ActiveX object from JSP using the ActiveXObject method in javascript. I have a dll filed named LPMSFunctions.dll which is registered and is being passed as an argument to the ActiveXObject method. Below is the code i am trying to execute..
<html>
<head>
<title>Script Example</title>
</head>
<body>
<br><br>
<P align="center">
<form action="" method="post">
<script language="JavaScript">
function comEventOccured()
try{
var myobject;
myobject = new ActiveXObject("LPMSFunctions72.LPFunctions72");
alert("Inside LPMSFunction72");
alert(myobject.GetDocPath());
catch(e)
alert("Error");
</script>
</form>
</body>
</html>When i write the above code and save it as an html file it works fine..the activex object is created and the methods are called , but when i copy the same code to a file and save it as jsp file under webapps folder under tomcat it doesnt work and reports a javascript error with the error being:
Automation server cant create the object at line :
var SSOObj = new ActiveXObject("LPMSFunctions72.LPFunctions72");
Please suggest how can I solve the problem. Your help would be sincerely appreciated.
Thanks
shravan

You want to use the Variant to Data node, wiring in an ActiveX constant configured to the interface type you want.
