INSERT key does not toggle INSERT/REPLACE mode

The INSERT key does not toggle between Insert and Replace mode. The enterabled items are always in insert mode. Does anyone know how to fix this?
I'm using Forms 6i 6.0.8.17.1, web-deployed on Solaris 2.6 (64 bit).

You can use a pluggable Java Component to do this and there is an example in the Forms 9i demos.

  • Laptop wireless hard blocked - hardware key does not toggle state

    hello,
    this is my 3d arch install. i kept notes, and followed them exactly and this time i've ran into an issue i just cannot seem to debug myself.
    this laptop is the hp envy 4 1130us. i also have the hp envy 6t-1000 with arch installed and this is not a problem at all for that version of the computer (one is my personal the other is my work machine).
    after installing the base system i installed the wifi related packages:
    pacman -S wpa_supplicant iw wireless_tools networkmanager network_manager_applet gnome_keyring
    i enabled the network manager
    systemctl enable NetworkManager.service
    disabled dhcp (enabled from install)
    systemctl stop dhcpcd.service
    systemctl disable dhcpcd.service
    enabled the wpa toolkit
    systemctl enable wpa_supplication
    add my user to the network group
    gpasswd -a xero network
    turn off the network interface controllers
    ip link set down eno1
    ip link set down wlo1
    start the supplicant
    systemctl start wpa_supplicant
    start the network manager
    systemctl start NetworkManager.service
    reboot
    after that the wired internet work perfect fine. the network manager applet detects the network and does it's thing. i configured and tested vpn as well, and it is also working as expected.
    but then i pressed the hardware wifi switch (F12 key) and nothing happened. i pressed it a few more times, rebooted, tried again, tried during the bios/post test, etc. i simply cannot disable the hardware lock on the wireless.
    so i went hunting on the wiki and here in the forums. nothing has worked. since, this was a fresh install last night i actually wiped the drive and tried the install again hoping i did something wrong, but with no avail. here's the debug messages:

    Soft blocked: no
    Hard blocked: yes
    so based on some of the output it looks like RFKILL is blocking it during the boot process. i tried to unblock it via the unblock all command, but that's only soft blocks. i'm really not sure what to try next, so i'm asking for help (before i throw my laptop out the window).
    thank you in advance for any advice

    yeah,
    i was thinking that recompiling each kernel would be a huge hassle as well.
    so i just booted 2 live usb disks.
    the 1st, the arch installer - the wifi was still hard blocked.
    the 2nd, debian / crunchbang. what's odd, is that in debian the wifi key light is while (enabled) but it's still blocked. if the press the button it turns amber (disabled), if i press it again it turns white again and is actually enabled.
    it almost seems like arch is not "catching" the action keypress. the keyboard backlight key works out of the box, and so does the screen brightness keys. but i run xfce4-volumed to control the volume related keys. is there anyway to emulate the hardware keypress to even see if that's the issue?
    -----------------[update]-----------------
    so i decided to try and enable the rfkill unblock all service:
    systemctl enable [email protected]
    that alone didn't work, but...  i booted into another os, enabled wifi, then hard powered off the laptop. when i rebooted into arch it seems to work now. it's a really hacky work-around. but i'll take it. i'd really like a proper solution, but it works for now i guess.

  • Do web deployed forms support insert/replace modes

    Hi:
    We are currently using Oracle Forms 10g. In older versions of forms the Insert key could be used to toggle between Insert and Replace modes when entering data in a field. Is this functionality supported in Web deployed forms?
    Thomas

    Apparently not. See

  • Imp error - ORA-14400: inserted partition key does not map to any partition

    Hi,
    We have a table (table t) with partitions (p1, p2, ... p12) and two of the partitions (p11 and p12) need to be imported into
    another database with different schema. Both the partitions to be imported are in two different export dumps. So, I started
    by dropping the table t and then import with the first export dump (p12). The first import went fine, but the second import
    failed with error:
    IMP-00058: ORACLE error 14400 encountered
    ORA-14400: inserted partition key does not map to any partition
    IMP-00057: Warning: Dump file may not contain data of all partitions of this table
    About to enable constraints...
    Import terminated successfully with warnings.
    The imp command used is:
    imp user/pwd tables=t log=imp.log file=exp.dmp fromuser=db1user touser=db2user ignore=Y grants=n indexes=n constraints=n
    statistics=none
    Please let me know where is the problem and what is the solution? I need to import the second partition (p11) also
    successfully.
    Thanks.
    BNetra

    Created a new partition REST_VALUES with higher range value and all my imports worked fine. But now I have two related issues:
    1) All the data got imported into the new partition instead of correct partitions.
    2) I observed that the column on which the table is partitioned CREATE_DATE values have been changed to today's (import) date for all rows imported into the new partition.
    How do I import properly into respective partitions and not into temporary new partition?
    Why did the CREATE_DATE value got changed automatically during import?
    Thanks.

  • Backspace key does not respond

    Hi.
    This is on behalf of a lady friend of mine.  Her backspace key does not work.  And the "funny" thing is that the sound cannot be adjusted as well.  It is completely stuck.
    Anybody who can advice me?
    She has OS X 10.6.8 installed, ans the Mac is approx 1 1/2 years old.

    You could try to connect the external USB keyboard to the notebook in order to check if this keyboard button behavior will appear using external keyboard.
    If the USB keyboard would work properly, then the problem is caused definitely by internal keyboard malfunction. In such case you would need to replace the keyboard.
    Is you warranty valid? In case it is, the replacement could be replaced free of charge.

    I was able to call the iPhone support line this morning. The Apple rep stayed on the line with me for about an hour until he was sure the new phone would ship out. For $199 plus $29 for expedited handling I was able to get the replacement ordered with overnight shipping. Since the replacement doesn’t involve ATT&T I have no reason to suspect any further delays. Kudos to the Apple rep that helped me straighten out this mess.
    It’s a shame that AT&T cares so little for their existing customers. Not only did they try to sell me the same phone for $499, they outright refused to help me. They also lied to me on numerous occasions and strung me along for close to three weeks for something that only took an hour to complete with the Apple rep.
    I filed a formal complaint against AT&T through the Better Business Burrow as well as requested a review of our cooperate contract with AT&T. Our company currently has over 3000 phones with AT&T and there contract comes up for bid the end of our fiscal year (this October). We will be giving it heavy consideration before we consider renewing their contract.
    I doubt that any of that will matter to a company that cares so little about their customers, but you never know.
    Thanks again for all your help. I would probably still be trying to get my replacement for the next few months if it wasn’t for your suggestions.

  • After upgrading to mountain lion my calendar does not print in weekly mode anymore

    after upgrading to mountain lion my calendar does not print in weekly mode anymore

    I'm having the same problem with both my Vivotek wired network camera and Panasonic wireless network cameras. At first I thought this was an issue with the video framework in Mountain Lion, but if Firefox is working (I haven't tried it yet), it sounds like it may be an objective-c video library that has been changed. It's possible Firefox is using an objective-c interface that calls an objective-c function that isn't called by Safari or IP Camera Viewer, etc., (possibly a function that is on its way to be deprecated) or Firefox could use it's own library that directly calls the video framework.
    Could be the Mountain Lion objective-c framework has a buffering issue.
    Since this is occuring in both 3rd party software and Apple software, it sounds like it's an Apple issue. 3rd party applications typically utilize the Apple Developer objective-c frameworks to access video frameworks/libraries (for example, MJPEG). Thus, contacting 3rd party developers may not solve the situation (unless they can figure out a temporary bandaid--possibly figuring out the video framework call that Firefox uses and patching their software to do the same (not a simple task), but could still provide more feedback to Apple via their developer status.
    Has anyone attempted to record from their cameras via iMovie or Final Cut Pro X HD? I will try mine later tonight to see if it records the hanging. If it does, then it's looking more and more like Apple's the culprit.
    My suggestion is for everyone to file a bug report via http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html

  • Error while connecting to ATE DecryptPasswordError "Key does not exist",,,

    Dear All,
    While trying to implement Syclo Service Manager with SAP CRM , I am trying to start the ATE (Agentry Test environment) on Windows after getting connected to the development server. However, I am getting the below error after I give my user ID and password on ATE login pop-up.
    DecryptPasswordError <"Key does not exist",,,>
    It initially says that the password is incorrect and asks if we would like to connect to the server instead. When I click on "Connect", the above mentioned error is displayed.
    Can you please help me with this. As a matter of fact, in the past, I have been able to connect to ATE without any issues, but not sure what could be the problem this time.
    Any quick help is highly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Ashish Dhagat

    Hi Ashish
    Without seeing the rest of the logs, I'm assuming you are getting some kind of logon error.
    If so, this error can happen if the the Agentry Server fails to load the "cryptography context and key container".  This can be found by viewing the Startup.log files located in the LOG folder in the running Agentry Server folder.
    The following is an example of the Startup.log:
         05/05/2009 12:50:55, 0, 0, 2, Thr 2120, Key container does not exist, attempting to create a key container.
         05/05/200912:51:02, 0, 0, 2, Thr 2120, Failed to acquire cryptography context and key container. 05/05/2009 12:51:02, 0, 0, 2,
         Thr 2120, Error 2148073487 loading cryptography key
    This issue is caused by the User that started the AgentryServer.gui (or LOCAL SYSTEM if running as a Service) which means the user does not have access to the MachineKeys folder.  The user needs to have full access to the following folder:
                   C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys.
    If running as a Service, the user should confirm the logon account.
    To change the Logon account from Local System Account to 'This Account' option (needs to be an admin account):
    Go to Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Services.
    Right click on the appropriate service and select 'Properties'
    Select the tab 'Log on'.
    Click the radio button next to 'This account'
    In the field next to 'This Account', enter ID used for logging into Windows (admin account)
    In the Password and Confirm Password fields, enter password associated with the Windows login ID
    After verifying that the user has full access to the folder, restart the Agentry Server, and with a cleared client, connect to the Server.
    Let me know if this helps.
    Thanks,
    Ray

  • My computer has been acting weird lately.  Shuts itself off, the mouse goes off in all angles, does not go into sleep mode sometimes and instead shows on a gray screen definitions of words in 3" letters!  Do I have a virus?

    My computer has been acting weird lately. Shuts itself off, the mouse goes off in all directions, does not go into sleep mode sometimes, instead shows a gray screen with word definitions in large 3" letters that continuosly flows across the screen.  Do I have a virus?

    Doesn't really sound like a virus.
    See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7029
    How many of these you can answer...
    Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
    How much RAM & free space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
    Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
    In the Memory tab, are there a lot of Pageouts?

  • Tab key does not work

    This is very strange, please read.
    My tab key does not work. It will not move from one text field to another.
    I have checked my keyboard settings. "Full keyboard access:" is at the default "Text boxes and lists only".
    I have deleted this user and recreated the user, and with the completely new user the tab key does not work. Other users on the machine it DOES work.
    This is happening now on 3 of our 5 machines.
    Lastly, when I turn on the keyboard viewer (International/Input Menu/Keyboard viewer: it shows you what key the system thinks you are pressing when you press a key on the keyboard), it shows that when I press the tab key, the Command key is being held down instead. It's not showing that the tab key is being pressed.
    Has anyone seen this previously? Again, it's happening on 3 of our 5 machines (some users the tab key works, some users it doesn't). These are fresh user creations (no special software installed, no prefs changed, etc...)
    Thank you for any info!!!

    "Repair Disk Permissions" from Disk Utility may help.
    Also, cmd-opt-n-v (Clear NV RAM) may help as well.
