Running first Form from Form Builder 10g

Hi. I've upgraded my first 6i form to 10g. In Form Builder 10g (for Windows) I execute the form and it opens it in my Internet Explorer (IE) window instead of the traditional Oracle Run-time window.
This is fine, except IE has a large header area that includes items like the Internet Address Field, the Search Field, the Back and Forward buttons, various icon buttons for printing, finding, the Tabbed Windows, the home button, etc.... With all this additional space taken up in the browser I don't have as much room for my canvas to display.
Does this mean I have to adjust the canvas size for all my existing forms to fit this smaller IE area or can I somehow free up more space in the IE window by hidding all these default IE items?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Add these to your WHEN-NEW-FORM_INSTANCE trigger:
-- browser (main) window
set_window_property(forms_mdi_window, window_state, maximize);
--inner window
set_window_property('YOUR_WINDOW', window_state, maximize);

Unable to run the form from Form Builder 10g

HI,
I am having a problem with running a form with form builder 10g.
I have create a form with some text boxes to display values in a table.
When i compile and run the form it does not run The error shown is
HTTP 403(Forbidden) You are not authorised to view this page.
The Link used for the above is:
http://127.0.0.1:1740/sWuCqhMKUT1btA1N5cXLCRshkJzmgKRIlCEUFd9RL520LVq0
The port number 1740 changes everytime. I dont know why.
I have started the OC4J instance before starting the Form Builder.
I have made the changes to the runtime preferences in the form builder.
http://localhost:8889/forms/frmservlet
But it doesn't work when i try to run the form from Form Builder.
ie Program-->Run Form
The form works properly when using the 'Run a form on the Web Utility' provided with Developer Suite.
Can anyone please suggest a solution. I have searched the forum but didnot find a solution.
Thanks
V.S.

One of our DBAs has installed the software.
It was a default installation, I believe, as no configuration was done during the installation except for increasing the virtual memory size.
Post installation we changed the tnsnames.ora file and the sqlnet.ora file.
Do i need to configure something ?
Thanks,

Run form from form builder

Hi,
I am using Form 6i and copied Forms60Libraries in my local machine. I am developing form which will be registered with oracle apps. Now I want to run this form locally instead of uploading into server everytime while testing which I don't have access depending on other for this move.
So, Please guide me to run this form from Form Builder locally if there is a way.
Thanks in advance.

As Alex suggested, you will need local copies of all the required Apps resource files (*.pll, *.plx, etc). Running an Apps form from the Forms Builder does not require any special setup on your workstation beyond this. However, even with all the required resource files you will run into errors each time your form calls one of the standard apps built-ins. It has been a while since I've worked with Apps, but I was able to get around the calls to these built-ins by checking if the Form was running on the web or client/server and only calling the Apps built-in if running on the web. It was a bit of a pain to setup, but it was worth being able to test my form localling from the Forms Builder rather than upload the form to the server in order to test the runtime. Here is how I accomplished this. In each trigger that calls an Apps built-in (eg: APP_STANDARD.Event) do the following. Typically, I only needed to add the following code the Form level triggers, but it depended on each form.
/* Example When-New-Form-Instance */
DECLARE
   UI_type   VARCHAR2(15) := Get_Application_Property(USER_INTERFACE);
BEGIN
   IF ( UI_type = 'WEB' ) THEN
      -- Execute Apps built-ins...
      APP_STANDARD.EVENT('WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE');
   END IF;
   -- Perform the rest of your processing here
END;Hope this helps,
Craig B-)

OC4J service startup & running form from forms builder

Hello everybody,
I have installed Oracle 9i database and Oracle 9i DS on my personal Computer. (O.S. is Windows XP) . Now if I want to run any form from Forms builder I have to everytime start the OC4J service, from oracle-home\j2ee\oracle9i DS\startinst.bat
How to eliminate this? Is there any way to automate this procedure? so that everytime when I open the forms builder, it will automatically start this service or run this bat file.
Or any other way to overcome this prob?
regards
achchani

Hi,
unfortunately the answer is no. If you search the Internet you may find lik of how to make bat execution a Windows Service

Running form from Forms Builder with IE

Forms 11.1.1.4, IE 8, Windows 7 64-bit.
1. Running form from Forms Builder with IE results in Page cannot be displayed. My Java console doesn't even appear so it's not getting to the servlet part.
2. Running same form stand-alone in IE works fine. The URLs are identical (I've cut/pasted them)
3. Running same form from Forms Builder with Firefox works fine. The only change I made was to the runtime preference for the browser location.
Seems like this has to be something to do with the browser configuration that only occurs from Forms Builder. What could it be?

I'm not sure about the specifics of your configuration but I suspect the answer is in formsweb.cfg (and the associated .env file).
I think that generally the configuration that runs for formbuilder is the "default" whereas you could be specifying a different
one on the url not going through formbuilder. (but if you're using em then it's really hard to know what's going on since it seems
to not write changes back to the config and env files until it is stopped. This caused me many days of confusion until I figured it out and
that's why I would highly advise never using it to modify .config or env settings.)
check what jre is installed in ie (tools, manage addons, there is on my machine:
java 2 plugin ssv helper and JQSIEStartDetectorImpl browser helper object.
Not sure which one or both is necessary.
Have your url be a trusted site, unblock it from popup blockage, and most of all stare at your formsweb.cfg default section. It would help
if you specified what was in the url. do you have config=X in there?

Browser blank when running a form from forms builder ??

Hi,
I am trying to run a form from forms builder.
I have a form , compiles, and when I run the form nothing comes up in my browser.
my browser is completely blank.
I am running everything on my local machine.
the steps I took.
- downloaded jinit.exe, installed it.
- started the OC4j
- restarted my browser
- then connect to my DB from forms builder - connects fine
- Run the form
but nothing is coming up when i run my form.
I even restarted my machine and still nothing.
What am I missing ??
Thanks,

This is a fairly common question. If you have the Jnit installed and OC4J running, then I would suggest you add the directory where your FMX is located to the FORMS_PATH in the 'DEFAULT.ENV' file located in the %DEVSUITE_HOME%/forms/server directory. The FORMS_PATH variable defines the SEARCH Path for Forms Applications so Forms can find your .FMX and .PLX files.
You could also modify the URL and specify the Form='your_form_name.fmx', but I prefer adding the directory to the FORMS_PATH so I don't have to add FORMS="" for each different form I'm working on.
Hope this helps,
Craig B-)

Oracle Forms from 6i to 10g -only blank screen is displaying after deployme

I have converted oracle Forms from 6i to 10g (almost 10 forms). In the development environment all 10 forms are working fine without any problems. I have deployed the forms in the server. Now all the forms are working fine except one form. Only blank screen is displaying in this case. What could be the reason? How to resolve this issue? This form is also working fine in the development environment.
Thanks for all your suggestions.

some possibilities:
1. check the java console of the plugin you use (Jinitiator, Sun-plugin) and see if there are any errors reported.
2. Do a full recompile of the form (ctrl+Shift+K, at least in german version)
3. Maybe a navigation problem (seems unlikely for it works in dev-environment, but give it a try):
Create a new block, put a navigable textitem in it and show that textitem on your canvas, but that block as first navigatin block in the form-properties.
4. Check other Pre-triggers(Pre-block, pre-textitem) if they are executed and may fail.
hope this helps

How do I find the report server name, and then run paper report from forms?

How do I find the report server name, and then run paper report from forms?
I am having a problem running report 9i from forms 9i (see below thread). How do I find out the name of the report server? I checked my C:\ids\reports\conf directory but don't see anything that gives me the name of the reports server. I also don't have a iashome directory.
Also, I just want to run the paper report (not the web version).
Thanks.

Hi,
please read teh Forms / Reports integration paper in teh Collateral section for Oracle9i Forms at otn.oracle.com/products/forms
In summary, you have to create an external Reports Service that you can then give a name.

FRM-10242: Cannot call linked-in Forms from Form Builder. error

FRM-10242: Cannot call linked-in Forms from Form Builder.
Cause: The menu designer specified a call to linked-in Forms from within Form Builder.
Action: Notify your DBA.
does anyone know why this happens.
I have this main-menu.. and when i click on one of the submenus which should call the form....i get this error.

Same issue here... Been trying to get this working since a week now. I tried all the solutions like memory heap and all but no luck.
One thing that I would like to know is that, in some threads the resolution was to recompile the INS_FORMS.MK file under /forms/lib32 but with my installation I don't have that "lib32" folder under /forms/ and I can not even find that file anywhere in my entire installation.
I am using 12.1.1 on Windows Server 2008.
Any help or guidelines is greatly appreciated.

Call Form from Form

Hi All:
Any one can tell me the basic steps for how to call Form from form through push button.
I am using forms& reports6i

You can use open_form/call_from but when one form invokes another form by executing open_form the first form remains displayed, and operators can navigate between the forms as desired. when one form invokes another form by executing call_form, the called form is modal with respect to the calling form. That is, any windows that belong to the calling form are disabled, and operators cannot navigate to them until they first exit the called form.

Can't run form from Form Builder 10g - Port configuration problem?

Hi,
I have installed the Database (10.2.0.1.0) and the Developer Suite (10.1.2.0.2) on two Linux machines (Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES 4 Basic).
If I enter the frmservlet-URL manually everything seems to be fine.
In one case I enter http://127.0.0.1:8890/forms/frmservlet, in the other http://127.0.0.1:8889/forms/frmservlet; in BOTH cases I get eventually a dark square and the status bar says "Applet oracle.forms.engine.Main started".
HOWEVER, if I create a simple form with Form Builder and click on the Button with the green traffic light ("Run Form"), the form runs only on the machine where frmservlet listens on port 8890.
On the other machine (frmservlet configured to listen on port 8889) Firefox pops up, the URL "http://127.0.0.1:32979/6dOrpwghCqnp8PhMT7KVT533m3IaArqFbPqPBOztZXWYSsNy" gets called, and nothing else happens. The screen displays the string "ORACLE FORMS." and the status bar says "Waiting for 127.0.0.1...", and it stays like this forever.
I assume this is a port configuration problem, but I don't have a clue where to start.
Any suggestions how I should proceed are greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much in advance!

Hi Frank,
Thank you for your reply.
I doublechecked my configuration.
In the dialog Edit --> Preferences --> Runtime the Application Server URL is set to "127.0.0.1:8889/forms/frmservlet".
However, when I attempt to run the form, the URL "http://127.0.0.1:33140/W2dwbV9eXS2fPkuKlxNhCxFWdEihwDviat2uV7ycrSotqwDN" gets called.
The screen displays the string "ORACLE FORMS." and the status bar says "Waiting for 127.0.0.1...", and that's it.
I wonder how the port number 33140 got selected. Interestingly, this time it is a different number; last time it was port 32979. In fact, the port number seems to change each time; I tried again and now it is 33189.
I will now try to set the port number for the frmservlet to 8890.
I choose Edit --> Preferences --> Runtime and set the application server URL to "127.0.0.1:8890/forms/frmservlet".
I stop the container, open /home/oracle/OraHome_1/j2ee/DevSuite/config/default-web-site.xml and change the port number to 8890:
<?xml version="1.0" standalone='yes'?>
<!DOCTYPE web-site PUBLIC "Oracle Application Server 10g XML Web-site" "http://xmlns.oracle.com/ias/dtds/web-site.dtd">



<web-site port="8890" protocol="http"
display-name="Oracle Developer Suite 10g instance of Oracle Containers for J2EE Web Site">

     
     
     <default-web-app application="default" name="defaultWebApp" root="/j2ee" />

<web-app application="forms" name="formsweb" root="/forms" />


<web-app application ="reports" name="web" root="/reports" />
<web-app application = "reports" name="demo" root="/repdemo" />
     
     <access-log path="../log/default-web-access.log" />
</web-site>
I restart the container, start Form Builder, connect to the database, and open my test form.
When attempting to run the form, the URL "http://127.0.0.1:33437/Pl0n3ky9vmU5z37A7ScBnQhsGwq3jwuzJpgTAKWPMOYIzT8K" gets called (again a new port number, apparently picked radomly within a certain range) and nothing happens: "Waiting for 127.0.0.1...".
However, when I enter the URL http://127.0.0.1:8890/forms/frmservlet I do (eventually, after confirming that I trust the certificate etc.) get a darc rectangle and the status message "Applet oracle.forms.engine.Main started", which tells me that my setup can't be that far off target.
