URGENT - Modifying Form Properties in APEX

Hi,
I am migrating 6i Forms to APEX and facing an issue with change of properties for Database Block Items.
My Issue is: - In form 6i Item associated with DB block is not a database item whereas after uploading the converted fmb xml to APEX it is displaying as DB Item. I am not able to modify this property.
Please help me as this problem is occuring with almost all the forms to be migrated.
Please help me as it is urgent.
Greetings,
Ankit

What is then the source of the item? In APEX it could be a static value or the result of a query, a function, a pl/sql expression or anonymous block.
Is the item is displayed as '... (does not save state)' APEX will not get it from the database nor try to post it to the database.
I don't have converted Oracle Forms at hand so cannot expreriment with it. It is possible that you would have to remove the original (converted) item and create a new one with the correct sttings.

Questions on the comparison between Oracle Forms and Oracle APEX

Hi All,
The link below presents information about Oracle Application Express for Oracle Forms Developers, the table at the end of the page shows a comparison between Oracle Forms and Oracle APEX, all the points of comparisons are clear for me except 3 points which are:
•Locking, what is meant by locking models?
•Database Connections, what is meant by Synchronous/Asynchronous connections in Oracle Forms and Oracle Apex?
•Architecture, what is meant by 2tier and 3 tier connections?
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/apex_for_forms.html
What I need is a simple explanation for these points without deep details.
Thanks

Hi
That is how I understand that document:
Locking: Forms, by default, locks a row as soon as the user starts modifying the data. That is pessimistic locking. Apex, on other hand (and optionally forms also) do not lock the record, but before applying any changes checks if the data has changed since the user queried it (what for some reason is called optimistic "locking")
DB connections: I am not sure why they used the terms synchronous/asynchronous, but the difference is that Forms, by default, keeps an permanent DB connection while the user is using the application, while Apex gets a connection from a connection pool every time a page is requested/submitted.
Architecture: Forms (in its web version at least) has 3 tiers: the browser, the appserver where the forms service runs and the database. As Apex runs inside the database, there are only 2 tiers: the browser and the database (though you still may need an http server in between which serves static content, I don't think it is considered part of the application in this context). If you are talking about client/server forms, then there are only 2 tiers.
I hope this helps!

How to assign modified forms (SAP scripts etc.,) to Dunning texts

Hello, how do I assign forms (SAP scripts etc.,) to dunning texts according to no 5 above?
I've copied the form f150_dunn_01 and modified it. Now I want to assign my modified form to dunning text. In txn fbmp I have created new procedure and when I clicked on Dunning texts it takes me to dunning text screen where I should be able to assign my modified form. But the screen is greyed out and not editable. Is there anything I'm missing or I've permission issue?
Please help
Regards
Naz
Most of the config for Dunning is done with TCode FBMP.
Key Steps are :-
1.     Define the dunning procedure or use the standard
2.     Define the dunning levels (desired stages of reminder)
3.     Define the dunning interval (frequency of reminder)
4.     Line item grace periods & Min.days in arrears (acct) govern the criteria for picking items to be dunned along with Minimum amounts
5.     Assign forms (SAP scritps etc.,) to dunning texts. Forms contain the contents of the reminder notice and the format of notice.
6.     You can include the Sp GL Transactions as well.
7.     Customer/Vendor Master Records needs to be updated with the Dunning
8.     Procedure etc, Dunning tab in the master data
9.     Use F150 to run.

Hi Praveen,
Ok let me go through the steps that I have done so for.
1. New dunning procedure 004 been created in Txn FBMP
2. Then by choosing the assigned dunning procedure 004, trying to update the form by selecting the company code and then Dunning text. But the screen is grayed out.
Please pass me your email address then I will send you the screen shoots.
Thanks

Variable in form properties changed by script

How can one change the value of a variable in File>Form Properties>Variables by using script?

Ok, here's a little bit more information on the problem.
I looked at the XML for one of the Text fields with which I'm having trouble. I found this for a font specification:
<font use="#f2" typeface="Arial"/>
I commented that line out and replaced it with this:
<font size="5.8pt" typeface="Times New Roman"/>
and the field displayed properly.
My question is refned to this: I set the typeface and size for the Text fields in the Font toolbar at the top of the screen. It's even set correctly if I display the Font paragraph. I can't find anywhere else where typeface and size is set. How and why are the typeface and size that I selected being overridden?

Creating a modifiable form field

Hi,
I would like to create a modifiable form field that maps onto a directory server multi-valued field. This field should have the ability to add a value or remove a value as well as displaying the contents of the list. I've spent time reviewing the Workflows, Forms and Views (v8) document but it's not clear how to achieve this sort of field. Is it possible?

The ListEditor component is what you are looking for.
Check out this code snippet directly from the documentation:
<Field name='accounts[Sim1].Group'>
<Display class='ListEditor' action='true'>
    <Property name='listTitle' value='stuff'/>
    <Property name='allowTextEntry'>
      <Boolean>true</Boolean>
    </Property>
    <Property name='ordered'>
      <Boolean>true</Boolean>
    </Property>
</Display>
<Expansion>
     <ref>accounts[Sim1].Group</ref>
</Expansion>
</Field>The important stuff in this case is the field name, in this case accounts[Sim1].Group. This means you are displaying/modifying the contents of an attribute "Group" on resource "Sim1". Change this to suit your needs.

Modify form field value

I have the PDF form with several fields. I want to set the value of one field depending on selection made by the user in other field. I am trying to use if statement but it does not work for me. I have copied below the script I am trying to use.
form1.#pageSet[0].Page1.Table.Table3[0].Row1.Cell1::change - (JavaScript, client)
if (oField.rawValue == "Service Alert")
this.resolveNode("Cell4").rawValue = "A";
else if (oField.rawValue == "Service Bulletin")
this.resolveNode("Cell4").rawValue = "B";
When user selects Service Alert in Cell1 I want the value of Cell4 to be set to A and if Service Bulletin is selected I want the value of Cell4 to be set to B.
Can someone help me with the script. I have done a bit of searching and tested verious syntax but nothing did work. I hope someone will help me to have it working.
Regards,
Tony

Thank you very much for your help, but it did not work for me. I have decided to reply and to send you the form. Could you please have a look on what I have done and try to fix it. I want to add action to Cell1 to modify Cell4 in row 1 of the form, top on the blue background.

Document Properties versus Form Properties

Hello,
I was searching this forum and the knowledgebase to find an answer on how to populate the Document Properties visible in Acrobat/Reader 7 with the values from the Form Properties of a XFA form created with Designer 7.1. Unfortunately I was not able to find a sufficient answer. Is it possible to fill the Document Properties from within a XFA form? Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Any help is really appreciated. Thanks!
Kind regards, Karin

Hi,
As I discussed with my colleague on Office application, the Document property we can access from File tab is different from the DOCPROPERTY we can locate in Fields.
If you would like to add the "aaa" to document, we could add it manually.

Fnd the forms.jar file in the system. Make a note of the complete path For example if the forms.jar file is in C:\abcd\xyz\ , the path of this file is C:\abcd\xyz\forms.jar .
Open the server.xml file which you can find under C:\Sun\AppServer7\domains\domain1\server1\config and add the above PATH like this
server-classpath="C:\abcd\xyz\forms.jar;C:/Sun/AppServer7/lib/appserv-rt.jar ......
-Restart the Application Server and run your application
Hope this helps

How to modify LobSystemInstance properties after deployment

Hi,
I've added some properties to my LOBSystemInstance (like explained here:http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepoint2010programming/thread/01ad2bf2-7ebc-434f-beac-e2d934847b34)
I cannot find where to modify the properties once the BDC is deployed.
Is it possible to have an administrator change the property values once the BDC is deployed? For instance when a DB password changes?
regards, Felix

Hi Felix,
You need to be using a custom connector to be able to use those properties and interfaces.
I have managed to get those elusive properties you are after, I followed the book from Scot Hiller and also this blog:

I have written an internal document for us at Lightning Tools explaining how to transform a BCS Meta Man project to a Custom Connector. This is the full model I used

Modifying project properties of custom project system

I have tried to create a custom project system by walk through https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/cc512961.aspx and succeeded. And now I want to modify the project properties of this created project system. The second part of this walk
through is guiding to create property pages for solution properties. (Solution Explorer-> Right Click on Solution and select Properties) I don't want to modify solution properties, I need to customize project properties (Solution Explorer-> Right Click
on Project and select Properties) by adding new tabs and other items for my custom project system. Please help me as soon as possible.

Hello,
you can't customize the project properties in VS (for any version), you have 2 solutions :
1- You must develop addin for visual studio
From MSDN :>

How to prevent MovieClip from modifying stage properties?

Is there anyway to prevent a MovieClip you have loaded from
modifying global stage properties?
FYI, the ultimate top-level container is an AS3 stage, which
contains an AS2 proxy swf which loads various AS2 ads. I have
noticed that when some ads are loaded, it looks like they are
modifying stage properties - which remarkably propagate all the way
up to the AS3 stage.

Thanks for reply
But it is full browser website and i got a video tutorial in internet which use the same process.
Is there any other way to get full browser website with out scaling the movie clip.
thanks

Cannot save modified connection properties

SQL Developer 2.1.1.64. I create a database connection and use it for some time. Now I right click on connection to modify its properties. Then I click on Save but the changes are never saved. No matter what I do, the connection keeps pointing to original parameters. When I press Connect, nothing happens. The only way to change is to delete and create a new one. Is there something I am doing wrong?
Thanks...
Arun

There is no output in the console window.
I will give an example. I have a connection entry like
Connection Name: ORCL_system
Username: system
Password: abcdefg
Save Password is checked
Role: default
Connection type: Basic
Hostname: server1.abc.com
Port: 1521
Service Name: orcl.abc.com
Now I want to change this entry to use TNS. I right click on ORCL_system and select "Properties" from context menu. I change these properties as:
Connection Name: ORCL_system
Username: system
Password: abcdefg
Save Password is checked
Role: default
Connection type: TNS
Network alias : ORCL (select this from the drop down list which is generated from my tnsnames.ora file)
Now I click "Test". I get a success message. This means that SQL Developer has established the connection. I do either of the following actions and they fail:
a) I click "Save". The changed properties are not saved. If I close SQL Deveoper and start it again, the connection goes back to using "Basic".
b) I click "Connect" and nothing happens. The SQL Worksheet does not open. The connection properties are not saved if I close SQL Developer.
I am very sure that this used to work in earlier versions.

MODE query, related to interactive form- properties.

hi,
when i goto Interactive form -> properties-> mode....
there are three options in the dropdown....
*update data in pdf
*use pdf
*generate pdf
can someone give me links to tutorials...etc
on how to use the three different modes effectively.
regards,
-ag.

Dear Amol
Depending on this property, your solution is react differently. An interactive form based pdf also contains the its template. Your WebDynpro has a context. Depending on this setting the WebDynpro will use the existing pdf including its data or it will use the existing pdf and update its data with the data of the WebDynpro context or it will generate a totally new pdf document based on its template on the server.
In the help you can find some addition information about the use of this property in combination with the other properties of the Interactive Forms UI element.
