How to run a script from Oracle Form (Beside using HOST command)
I would like to run a script from Forms 6.0. I know that we can actually issue this command :
host('plus80.exe' username/password@connect_string @c:\scriptname);
BUT, is there any other alternative ?
Sqlplus is a different program, so one way or the other you have to leave Forms to run sqlplus. What is you objection against HOST?
You can also run sqlplus from the database, but again you need a stored java procedure to call sqlplus (sort of HOST command that runs in the database).
Francois' solution works if your script just has a query to run, but if you have specific sqlplus commands (spool etc.) forms_ddl is probably not a solution.

How to invoke crystal reports from Oracle forms 11g R2 along with passing p
How to invoke crystal reports from Oracle forms 11g R2 along with passing parameter to it.
how to pass parameters to crystal report, please help.how to pass parameters to crystal report, please help.This would entirely depend on crystal reports and you might find informations on crystal reports related communities more likely...I for one have seen crystal reports the last time about 12 years ago. And even back then I simply acknowledged it's existence instead of working with it.
Maybe crystal reports can be invoked via a URL call which would make it simple as you'd need simply build an URL and show the report using web.show_document. But that's pure speculation. Also you might not be the first with this requirement, so the solution to your problem might be right under your nose and just a little google search away ;)

How to run a script on Oracle server from isqlplus
Hi I am trying to run a script on my workstation from Oracle server through isqlplus workarea. I entered following command and get the following error. i have enabled isqlplus URL by editing web.xml file already. Can please someone help how to run the script?
@http://myaixserver.com:5560/scripts/Databasestartupstages.sql;
SP2-0920: HTTP error 'page not found (505)' on attempt to open URLSo far, you haven't specified your rdbms version and isqlplus behaved differently on a 9iR1, 9iR2 from the one release on 10gR1/R2. on 9i it was a servlet based on a JServ servlet executor machine, meanwhile on 10g it is a J2EE compliant application deployed on an OC4J container, so configuration is different.

How to insert special character from Oracle form builder 10g
Dear all,
I need help. how to insert special character like 'Superscript or Subscript ' from oracle form builder 10g. I had try in Oracle form builder 6i with press ALT+ASCII code in the text item and it work, but in the oracle form builder 10g this method doesn't work... would you like to help me...somebody please...
Best Regard,
Dedy P.T.What do you mean by insert ... from Forms Builder? Do you mean you want to add it as text in a string of pl/sql code or as part of boiler plate text (label) or a value on the Property Palette?
For special characters you would need set NLS_LANG to something that would support the characters you want to use. For the Builder to see the change, you would need to set NLS_LANG to something like:
NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8
This can be done in the Windows Registry or system. As I mentioned, this will only apply to the Builder and will have nothing to do with a running form. For running forms you would need to set this in default.env. As for things like super and sub scripts, these are font formats and not necessarily characters. For the most part, I don't believe these are supported in Forms. -
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.
YahyaYahya,
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.

How to run a script from Calculation Manager
Hi All,
I would like to know how to run a script made by using Calculation Manager. I have converted a simple rule script which has just one statement(HS.EXP "A#Sales = 100") in "Sub Calculate()" by using FMRulesMigrator.exe and then imported, deployed to an application. when I execute "Calculate" from a Data Grid, the rule didn't take effect to application data. If I load the script by using classic rule editor, it works fine.
Is there anything I have to know to run a rule script which is made by using Calculation Manager?
Thanks in advance.

How to access environment variables from Oracle Forms
Hi,
Any idea how to use the Environment variables from Oracle Forms.
My basic problem is that from Oracle form I am calling Batch file which calls excel file with a macro.
So i want to check whether the macro was successful or not.
So in my batch file i will set %errorlevel% which I should be able to read from Oracle Forms.
I am able to read the registry from oracle forms, so is there anyway to read environment variable as well?
Thanks!

How to open .cmdrw file from Oracle Forms 10g
Hi,
We need to call *.cmdrw* file from Oracle forms 10g. Is there any way to call *.cmdrw* file from Oracle forms 10g?
Thanks for the help.
Viishnu NekkantiIn case you want to open a .cmdrw with its associated application you can use the following procedure:
webutil_host.NonBlocking( 'rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler ' || client_filename );This works for every file where a program has been associated to its file extension. (Adobe Reader for *.pdf, Microsoft Word for *.doc, Microsoft Excel for *.xls and so on)

How to call pdf files from oracle forms

Thanks,
PrevinFrank,
I have oracle applications and I want to open a pdf file located in the server from a button in oracle applications.
Previn,
you don't mention the Forms release you are running.
If you are running Forms on the web, you can use
web.show_document() to load files from the Web if
they are accessible via HTTP.

How to get up and running with WebUtil 1.06 included with Oracle Developer Suite 10.1.2.0.2 on a win32 platform
Solution
Assuming a fresh "Complete" install of Oracle Developer Suite 10.1.2.0.2,
here are steps to get a small test form running, using WebUtil 1.06.
Note: [OraHome] is used as an alias for your real oDS ORACLE_HOME.
Feel free to copy this note to a text editor, and do a global find/replace on
[OraHome] with your actual value (no trailing slash). Then it is easy to
copy/paste actual commands to be executed from the note copy.
1) Download http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/jacob-project/jacob_18.zip
and extract to a temporary staging area. Do not attempt to use 1.7 or 1.9.
2) Copy or move jacob.jar and jacob.dll
[JacobStage] is the folder where you extracted Jacob, and will end in ...\jacob_18
cd [JacobStage]
copy jacob.jar [OraHome]\forms\java\.
copy jacob.dll [OraHome]\forms\webutil\.
The Jacob staging area is no longer needed, and may be deleted.
3) Sign frmwebutil.jar and jacob.jar
Open a DOS command prompt.
Add [OraHome]\jdk\bin to the PATH:
set PATH=[OraHome]\jdk\bin;%PATH%
Sign the files, and check the output for success:
[OraHome]\forms\webutil\sign_webutil [OraHome]\forms\java\frmwebutil.jar
[OraHome]\forms\webutil\sign_webutil [OraHome]\forms\java\jacob.jar
4) If you already have a schema in your RDBMS which contains the WebUtil stored code,
you may skip this step. Otherwise,
Create a schema to hold the WebUtil stored code, and privileges needed to
connect and create a stored package. Schema name "WEBUTIL" is recommended
for no reason other than consistency over the user base.
Open [OraHome]\forms\create_webutil_db.sql in a text editor, and delete or comment
out the EXIT statement, to be able to see whether the objects were created witout
errors.
Start SQL*Plus as SYSTEM, and issue:
CREATE USER webutil IDENTIFIED BY [password]
DEFAULT TABLESPACE users
TEMPORARY TABLESPACE temp;
GRANT CONNECT, CREATE PROCEDURE, CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM TO webutil;
CONNECT webutil/[password]@[connectstring]
@[OraHome]\forms\create_webutil_db.sql
-- Inspect SQL*Plus output for errors, and then
CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM webutil_db FOR webutil.webutil_db;
Reconnect as SYSTEM, and issue:
grant execute on webutil_db to public;
5) Modify [OraHome]\forms\server\default.env, and append [OraHome]\jdk\jre\lib\rt.jar
to the CLASSPATH entry.
6) Start the OC4J instance
7) Start Forms Builder and connect to a schema in the RDBMS used in step (4).
Open webutil.pll, do a "Compile ALL" (shift-Control-K), and generate to PLX (Control-T).
It is important to generate the PLX, to avoid the FRM-40039 discussed in
Note 303682.1
If the PLX is not generated, the Webutil.pll library would have to be attached with
full path information to all forms wishing to use WebUtil. This is NOT recommended.
8) Create a new FMB.
Open webutil.olb, and Subclass (not Copy) the Webutil object to the form.
There is no need to Subclass the WebutilConfig object.
Attach the Webutil.pll Library, and remove the path.
Add an ON-LOGON trigger with the code
NULL;
to avoid having to connect to an RDBMS (optional).
Create a new button on a new canvas, with the code
show_webutil_information (TRUE);
in a WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger.
Compile the FMB to FMX, after doing a Compile-All (Shift-Control-K).
9) Under Edit->Preferences->Runtime in Forms Builder, click on "Reset to Default" if
the "Application Server URL" is empty.
Then append "?config=webutil" at the end, so you end up with a URL of the form
http://server:port/forms/frmservlet?config=webutil
10) Run your form.hope this helps u.

How to run a report from a form?
i created a report from reports 6i. now i want to design an interface in oracle forms and want to call all information from report according to paramaters which i designed in oracle forms.
i found some information that i can do that using Procedure Run_Report or Run_report_object but i could not achieved it.
Can anyone explain me that step by step? Or anybody made an example before so a connection from form to report and send to me as a muster. probably i can find a solution for me too..thanks a lot..Abdetu thanks for your quickly reply but i have to say that i could not understand it very clearly because i don't have any experience about Forms and Reports. Therefore i am trying to ask my question again with examples.
I made a report and now i am trying to connect this report to my forms. My forms has 2 search item. Account_no and Date and i have a Run button.
If i write date "Oct" and push button "Run" i want to see whole list of Oct from Report. Therefore i made a trigger "When-Button-Pressed" and i wrote this and now my question about the parameters.
In Forms under menu parameters should i create 2 parameters parameter01 and parameter02. and now my questions:
1) After i create parameters should i write as a Parameter Initial Value
2) Should i extra add paramters to reports too?
declare
v_Report_Id Varchar2(20) := 'RAPOR_NAME';
v_Parameter_List Varchar2(15) := 'FormParameter';
v_Parameter_List_Id Paramlist;
v_Return_Code Number;
Begin
v_Parameter_List_Id := Get_Parameter_List(v_Parameter_List);
If Not id_null(v_Parameter_List_Id) Then
Destroy_Parameter_List(v_Parameter_List_Id);
End If;
v_Parameter_List_Id := Create_Parameter_List(v_Parameter_List);
Add_parameter(v_Parameter_List_Id, 'PAR_01', TEXT_PARAMETER,:Parameter01);
Add_parameter(v_Parameter_List_Id, 'PAR_02', TEXT_PARAMETER,:Parameter02);
Add_parameter(v_Parameter_List_Id, 'PARAMFORM', TEXT_PARAMETER,'NO');
Add_parameter(v_Parameter_List_Id, 'DESTYPE', TEXT_PARAMETER,'SCREEN');
Run_product(REPORTS,'v_Rerpot_Id',SYNCHRONOUS,RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM,v_Parameter_List_Id,null);
End;
