Using Oracle Forms

Ok I'm a beginner at this! I plan to use Oracle to create a medical data base for patients. However, This is the most complicated database I've seen and the best. So, how do I use create form for use on my personal computer first before trying to use them over the net! 9i keeps asking me to log in! I don't want to log in! I just create test forms on my personal PC.
Please Help

You can create a Form which is not based on a table but it makes like more difficult since the main wizard for setting up a block is focused on reading information from the database table (so it knows what type and size to make the fields).
If you really want to do this properly I would strongly suggest you get logged on. You need to set up the tnsnames.ora file - this is the file which tells forms how to connect to the data base. When you set up Forms you should get menu item on the Start bar for "Application Server" choose this then the option for Configuration and Migration and use the Net config assistant (you should probably read up on this before using it so you know the options.

Using Oracle Forms Importing Data From SQL Server into Oracle Tables.

Dear All,
We are using Oracle Forms 10g in windows XP and having OAS 10g and Oracle database 9i.
How can we import data from SQL Server 2005 into Oracle tables using Oracle Forms?
Thanks & Regards
Eidy

I have no idea what "Oracle Hetrogenius Services" is, so I can't help you with that, sorry.
SQL Developer might also assist you. SQL Developer can connect to SQL Server as well as Oracle and has some tools for migration. See the documentation for details:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12151_01/doc.150/e12156/toc.htm
For additional help on using SQL Developer for this task, please consult Support or the SQL Developer forum: SQL Developer

Does it exist a manual for learning to use Oracle Forms?

What I'm looking for is a manual or tutorial for using Oracle Forms.
Looking at Oracle Documentation link http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/forms/documentation/10g-forms-091309.html I haven't found an user or developer guide.
On the web I've found something like this https://sites.google.com/site/craigsoraclestuff/oracle-forms---how-to-s but I'd like to know whether it exists something official by Oracle explaining like creating a form and things like that.
Thanks in advance!

If you want Oracle official material for learning any product, you will need to refer to Oracle University:
http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/ou_product_category.getFamilyPage?p_family_id=33
That said, in most cases, whether you have a "Where do I find..." or "How to...." question, your answers are most often one search away. For example, a simple search in this Forum and you will find that your question has been asked and answered countless times:
https://forums.oracle.com/forums/search.jspa?q=learn+and+forms&objID=f82&dateRange=lastyear&rankBy=10001
Other search engines will offer similar third party solutions. Try google.com, yahoo.com, ask.com, and countless others.

Problem about using Oracle Form 6i to connect Oracle Database 10g express.

Sorry to interrupt all of you.
I have encountered a problem about using Oracle Form 6i to connect Oracle Database 10g express.
As I would like to
I use Oracle Net8 Easy Config to create a connection.
According to "tnsnames.ora", the paramater of connection is as follows;
XE =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 127.0.0.1)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = XE))
Unfortunately, when I use Oracle Net8 Easy Config to test the connection, an error message is prompted as follows:
Connecting....
The test did not succeed.
ORA-03106: fatal two-task communication protocol error
There may be an error in the fields entered
or the server may not be ready for a connection.
You can check the server and retry, or continue.
After I google it, I still have no idea how to solve the problem. I would like to ask, could anyone mind providing some hints or solution to address the issues.
Thanks for your assistance in advance.

I don't believe the Net8 Easy Config (NEC) will create a compatible entry in the tnsnames.ora. I have Forms 6i running successfully against a 10g Express database, but I did not use the NEC - I created the entry myself. Here is the entry I use:
XE=
(DESCRIPTION=
    (ADDRESS=
      (PROTOCOL=TCP)
      (HOST=<<servername or IP address>>)
      (PORT=1521)
    (CONNECT_DATA=
      (SERVER=dedicated)
      (SERVICE_NAME=XE)
)Hope this helps,

Do you have a requirement to use MS-Outlook from the Client or simple send email to a list of recipients? If the requirement is simply to send email to a list of recipients, I suggest you use UTL_SMTP from the database to send your email rather than OLE to Outlook on the Users computer. Search OTN or the forums for 'MAILDEMO' and you will find many examples on how to send email from the database.
Hope this helps.

Try disable warnings:
Visual Basic 6 (VBA)
OlSecurityManager.ConnectTo OutlookApp
OlSecurityManager.DisableOOMWarnings = True
On Error Goto Finally
'... any action with protected objects ...
Finally:
OlSecurityManager.DisableOOMWarnings = False
If you find correct syntax with OLE2 post your code ;)

Attachment function using oracle form?

FANHow would you like your document to be attached??? What is the nature of your Document??
If it's the records of another form like an invoice already typed in in your application, you can simply add a field that holds the ID/Number/Reference of your document, and have a button that drills down the data for you.
If it's a scanned document you can use an image item, and display the document in an that item in your forms.
Tony
Alternative for images you can use BLOBs and other types of systemfiles

I want to call my oracle forms(main login form) from different computers(windows7) connected in a local network.My oracle database is installed in a server computer.I am not talking about oracle forms hosting in internet.I want to deploy oracle forms in a local computer network connected via LAN cable or wi-fi.
thank You.

In most cases you can copy the same entry found in the tnsnames.ora file used by the database. In the database home, the file can be found in \network\admin. Open the file and you should find something like this:
yourAlias =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.0.100)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVICE_NAME = orcl)
So in the above, you would need to set the alias (this can be anything you like), the IP address or hostname of the machine where the database is running, the port number used by the db listener, and the service name used by the db. Most of this will already be set for you if you are copying from the database tnsnames.ora. So you should be able to just copy and paste. More information about the tnsnames.ora file can be found in the db documentation:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/network.111/b28317/tnsnames.htm

Calling unix script using oracle forms

we have to call unix script using oracle forms , a trigger in form calls stored procedure on database
that stored procedure on database calls a oracle shared library
but since the only listener account for oracle on our unix server is oralist , whenever a call is made to the unix script from the oracle form , the unix script is executed by oralist user
but issue that we are having now is since oralist is specific for listening connections from orale we dont want to use this user to establish SFTP on it to avoid any issues with oralist
we want the sftp to be established on soem other useraccount , so is it possible to do something so that the script is executed by an account other that oralist.

I'm not a Linux/Unix specialist, but I think this may work: let your database call a shell script that does a su command before running the actual script:
su - other_account
your_script.sh

Experience using Oracle Forms 10g w IBM Rational Clear Case & Build Forge

Does anyone have experience using Oracle Forms 10g w IBM Rational Clear Case & Build Forge for configuration mgmt?
Janice

Hi,
We had also different Installation (Win2k3 R2 32Bit and 64Bit.).
1.) For me personally I didn't recognize benefits with 64 bit
2.) when using Itanium you defenitely have to recompile. We had one Itanium at one of our customers; As Itanium is not x86 compatible you need to recompile on Itanium. it got kicked out and used for another purpose in cause of this and as mentioned the performance weren't so much higher (or in other words not noticeable). Another reason for getting rid of the damn Itanium was that Forms/Reports on Itanium Platform had some annoying bugs; but this was 10.1.2.0.2 maybe in 10.1.2.3 they're fixed.
3.) If you want to use Itanium you simply have to transfer your fmb/mmb/pll to your Itanium IAS, and use forms and reports compiler which comes with it to recompile them.
Generally at the moment we suggest our customers to use 32bit.
just my 10 cents ;)

Unable to get Windows User Name using Oracle Forms 6i, Jinitiator 1.3.1.17

Hi,
Requirement: Get Windows User Name using Oracle Web Forms 6i.
Tools Using: Windows NT, Oracle web forms 6i, Oracle 10g DB.
Description: I am using GetClientInfo JBean from otn.oracle.com, which gets windows user name, IP address and machine name. The demo I got from oracle web site uses Jinitiator version 1.1.7.18. While we are using the latest version Jinitiator 1.3.1.17. Due to this reason, I am unable to use Javakey which comes with older version but doesn't come with newer version, that's why I can't create the new JavaBean Java identity (PJC).
Please advise what to do. All environment variables are set everything is done, this is the only thing bothering me.
I went through the article 202768.1 from metalink, but on step 5, it gives an error keytool error: java.lang.Exception: Input not an X.509 Certificate.
Also, please let me know if there is any other workaround for this requirement.
Thanks & Best Regards,
Mo

Hi,
Thanks for your kind reply. Actually there was a problem in creating a certificate, now it is okay with the same method. Certificate got imported on client and everything is ready.
Now, the problem is when I try to set Bean Area Implementation Class property with oracle.forms.demos.GetClientInfo, it gives an error FRM-13008 Cannot find JavaBean with name 'oracle.forms.demos.GetClientInfo'.
I went through the articles 1072329.6, 196824.1, and set ClassPath and Path variables with proper values. Also, I have copied jar file and signature file in forms60/java folder. I don't see any problems. Please let me know what I am doing wrong. My limitation is that I have to do all this in forms6i.
I searched forums on metalink and found out that someone installed Patch 15, and everything went okay for him. Do you think I should install Patch 15? if YES, how will I do it, I mean should I first uninstall my forms and then install patch15 or install the patch on my forms?
Thanks so much for your help.
Thanks & Best Regards,
Mo
