OLE container property in Forms 6i through Designer

Hi,
I'm creating forms through Designer. By default the OLE container In place activation property is set to Yes. I want that to be set to No. I don't see any way for property setting of OLE through Designer. Can I use SET_ITEM_PROPERTY built-in? Please let me know!
Thanks in advance

When you click a C/S OLE object, it is opened with its default application's owner, no ?
So if the OLE object is opened by Excel, the extension is .xls.
In any case you have to open the OLE object with its "mother" application if you want to save it as a file, so there is no problem at all to decide with extension to use.
If you read this article : http://sheikyerbouti.developpez.com/webutil-docs/Webutil_store_edit_docs.htm you can see that the filename is automatically opened with the corresponding application.

Ambiguity while generating the form module through designer

Hi All
In designer I am setting the default value of an item(check box) as 'N'. But when I am generating the module, the initial value of this item is changed to Y in the corresponding form module(This I can see through the initial value property of an item in property pallette).
Since this happens right after the form generation..So it can't be like that some procedure is there which is changing the value of this item because procedure will run only when form will run.
Can anyone explain as to why this ambiguity happens?

Did you set the Generator Preference before module to form generation? If yes, you must save the Generator Preference with a valid Preference Name, select the Preference Name before each generation.
Alternatively, you could modify the generated From and use Design Editor's Design Capture to reverse your required properties of items from the Form to Module Daigram and inspect the property of items from the reversed Module Diagram.

Retriving a blob after it was loaded by OLE container in forms 6i

We had forms6i application which has loaded documents into a blob column in the database using OLE container. We are able to retrive the blob from the OLE container on the forms6i, However when we are trying to retrive the same blob using PL/sql into the OS level file , we are unable to open the file as it not able to de-serialize the blob loaded into the database by an OLE container on the forms 6i
we have loaded around 5000 documents in the database using forms 6i application.
These were loaded during normal application usage and added mannually by invoking the forms application and then saving.
Our requirement is now to retrive these documents all at once using automated scripts. if Blob data is inserted using forms 6i OLE container then is there any automated exteneded procedures to retrive those blobs using PL SQL script or any other method.
my Forms version:Forms 6.0.8.25

FRM 40010 after using Ole container

Hi,
I am using an OLE container item to store different file types on Oracle 9 DB using Forms 6.0.8.27.0 .
Whenever I save a document using the ole container, exit the form, I cannot run any other form from my application. I get FRM-40010 :'Cannot read form XXX'
If I restart the application everything works fine until I use the ole container again to save a file. Then I get the same error.
It seems that the ole container changes the working directory.
Forms60_Path is set correctly.
Inserting a file from the correct working directory and deleting it (just to let the ole container changes the working directory to the one I want) is not a practical solution.
Thanks in advance for any hints,
Marco.

David,
not sure if this is a bug, because if you don't specify the '.rep' then, because of the search order used, the rep file is used anyway if available in the Reports_Path. One thing that could happen though is that your application now picks up an rdf file (maybe in the Reports60 directory) because the rep file is read later. Please check how many occurences of teh report file you have.
Repeatingly calling run_product will issue the same job to the Reports runtime over and over. The Reports runtime is not able to handle multiple jobs in parallel, one at a time. This means that if the Reports runtime is busy the Reports execution has to wait if not crahsing. The rdf file - if used - wins soem time in that it gets compiled on te fly before getting executed.
Frank
Ps.: Will not deny the chance of a bug, but Forms60 is desupported and you won't get a fix for i

Opening pdf file in ole container in forms 6i

Dear Sir,
I have am working on Rental property system , i have to save the PDF of original agreement document along with the agreement transaction data entry form, but when i open those agreement in adobe writer there is issue that user can save as its copy to the local machine, to prevent it i m opening that pdf file into the OLE container rather than adobe reader software.
but the problem i am facing is that, the pdf is opening in the ole container but it is only showing its first page only even if the agreement is of multiple pages, how can navigate to other pages? any idea? the sample code of oracle form is attached herewith which i am using for loading the pdf into ole container.
waiting for your earliest response.
Regards

You need to switch from using VB6 at this point. As of the latest update, VB6 compiled applications will stop working with Adobe Reader. See the following KB:
PDF applications built with VB6 don't work with Acrobat 11.0.07

Adobe form Error "Memory protection fault in OLE container control"

Hi,
I am getting the error "Memory protection fault in OLE container control" while trying to open the layout tab of adobe forms.
I am getting this error for all the adobe forms.Please let me know the solution.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks,
Nuthan.

I can reproduce this error consistently.. This is how: Install Microsoft SQL Server 2008.
As soon as I remove SQL 2008 the error went away. Adobe LiveCycle Designer was invoked via OLE2 interface. Apparently SQL Server 2008 (as in my case or some other applications in your case) modified the way OLE2 behaves and therefore causes this error.

Forms OLE Container

this has reference to my previous question that we had some problems in forms 6.0
in our ongoing project we have form with OLE Container which is used to store the signature
my problem is at runtime some times this form may work some times it exits without prompting any message. what could be the reason it is becouse the ole container accupies more memory or some thing else
any suggetion or comment on this

I have had similar problems in the past with activeX controls. At design time I insert the activeX object in the container, but it is not there at run time. I don't know if this is your exact problem. But I found it was a bug with Forms 6 Patch 7. I backed out to Patch 6 and it fixed my problem.

How can I read a blob created with ole container in forms 6i in forms 10g

In forms 6i I used ole container to save a document (excel, pdf, word...) into a blob column.
I want to migrate my application in forms 10g and I read that I have to use webutil_File_transfer.db_to_client and after webutil_host.blocking to see the document.
In the same blob column I can have multiple type of document. How Can I know wich application to use to open the document ?
Even if I know the extension of my document I'm enabled to open the file ???

When you click a C/S OLE object, it is opened with its default application's owner, no ?
So if the OLE object is opened by Excel, the extension is .xls.
In any case you have to open the OLE object with its "mother" application if you want to save it as a file, so there is no problem at all to decide with extension to use.

OLE Container linked documents conversion to Web Forms

We have developed a form within our Oracle 6i application which allows users to navigate directly from the Forms application to relevant documents. We use an OLE container and the documents (Word, Excel, PDF etc) are linked rather than embedded in the database. I understand that OLE containers are not supported within Web Forms. I'd like to maintain the functionality within the application and welcome any suggestions. I was hoping that Web_Util would provide this but it doesn't appear so. We have over 12000 embedded references to documents which we'd like to extract or retain. A possible solution would be to extract the filenames and paths/locations and have them available as a hyperlink.
I have no idea how to extract the file from the database blob column. There are many samples of code on Metalink to extract the document and store it locally but that's not what we want.
We use an OLE container (now Obsolete) with the OLE Tenant Type set to Linked, and OLE Tenant Aspect set to Icon. So the actual document is not embedded in the database but somehow the Application (Word Excel etc) knows the filename and path when you double click on the Icon.
I would like to extract the filename/path from the blob column and transfer it to another column which will be used as a hyperlink.

The documents are NOT stored in the database, they are linked. We have the documents on the network but have no idea which documents match to which unique record id on the database. Hence the need to extract the name and location of the files. Some ids can have up to 10 different documents attached to them
The use of OLE Tenant type "Linked" was really a Forms 6 version of a hyperlink.
I've got a hyperlink working for future use in attaching new documents to a record id. I am worried that we've lost the record of old links. I don't understand how Oracle can make something obsolete without at least providing an upgrade method.
Hope this makes it clearer.

Forms 6i : Ole Container : Locking problem

We have a form in which user can attach all sorts of documents that are then saved in the database.
Once in a while we have a locking problem; when 2 users try to open the same document, the second one first gets a 'Could not reserve record (2 tries). Keep trying?'. When clicking 'No', the next error message is 'Frm-40501 : unable to reserve record for update or delete', and the form cannot be used anymore. He keeps complaining about the reserved record.
I've been looking into this problem but cannot seem to find a lot of help.
Does anyone have an idea how to solve this locking problem?
I have tried the following things:
* setting the block to locking mode 'Delayed' => we ended up having duplicate records.
* Changing properties of the ole-container (In Place Activation, Inside Out support, ...).
Forms version is 6.0.8.13.0, database 8.0.6.0.0.
Any help is appreciated.

that seems to be a normal locking problem. Do you have tried to work with an ON-LOCK trigger ? (e.g. first to see, when locking will occur, second for implementing an own locking-behaviour, maybe with a SELECT for UPDATE)
Or do you think, that there is something special with your OLE-programming ?

How to upgrade 6i form to 11g forms which includes OLE container ?

How to upgrade 6i form to 11g forms which includes OLE container ?

The migration assistant has no upgrade for that. You need to get a Javabean or PJC:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17904_01/doc.1111/e10394/items.htm#sthref207
I don't know what kind of OLE files you have, but if it's just Word and Excel, I would you use browser functionality instead and get the doc's via web.show_document. That, however, doesn't give you update possibility.
You can also use webutil file transfer to get the file to the PC, modify it there, and transfer back to the database.
Then you still have a problem. Documents uploaded via Forms OLE container are actually modified by Forms before they are stored in the database. So, don't throw away your 6i version yet.
You need to get all the stored documents out via Forms 6i and save them as a normal document on the file system. Then you can store them back in the database using some other tool, like dbms_lob or webutil's file transfer.
There are some related discussions on his forum, so just use the Search option, e.g.
Oracle Forms 10g and OLE Containers, word documents?

Hi Renee,
No, you do not have to edit the form from the master page. Master pages do not have forms on them. They define the layout and look-n-feel of a Sharepoint Site.
You said you are adding new column to the list in SPD. Why not in the site itself and then edit the form.?
http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/sharepoint-designer-help/create-a-custom-list-form-using-sharepoint-designer-HA010378258.aspx
Also, check if you master page is checked in and published. If there is content approval on it, it should be approved.

OLE Containers in Oracle Forms 6i

Hello,
We have an Oracle Forms 6i application which stores a large number of documents in LONG RAW columns in Oracle 10g using serialized OLE Container objects. Is there a way to automate the extraction of those documents (PDF and DOC) from the database to the file system?
Edited by: rpetrk1 on Jul 11, 2012 5:03 PM

If all you want to do is extract the documents from the Long Raw columns, you can use UTL_FILE to extract the binary content to the file system. You would have to loop through the records in your table to extract each file. Take a look at article Export BLOB Contents Using UTL_FILE that I googled. Granted, this article discusses exporting a BLOB not a Long Raw, but the concept is the same and you should be able to modify the code sample in the article to work with your Long Raw columns.
Hope this helps,
Craig B-)
