10g Form gets Frozen

Hello all,
We are using Oracle 10g forms as a web aplication, and one of our forms gets frozen after being used for some time, this doesn't happen all the time, and this issue has nothing to do with any query (we have run traces an all the queries look ok).
More details...
Whithin this form we have a window with a lot of items (buttons, check, text fields, trees, lists), the Enable, Visible and Navigatable properties of these items are changed based on user's selection, this could happend several times (some times more than 30).
As we haven't been able to find the root cause of this in the code, I believe the issue could be that the porperty of the items are being changed a lot of times, and this might cause a memory issue on the JVM or something like that.
Has anyone faced with a similar issue?
BTW, we don´t get any error message, the entire application gets frozen, we can't even open the Java console.
Thanks.

Hi.
I have the same situation here. I am using forms 10.1.2.3 with latest patch applied. On the client side there is JRE 1.6.14. No matter if I use IE or Mozilla the form or better to say whole browser gets frozen. The most funny thing is this problem started with users who have got new computers. So on old computers there are no problems but on the new ones the browser gets freezed five to ten times per day. Our impression is this is happening in certain combionation with JDK and hardware. I should mention I have switched three users back to Jinitiator and there were no problems. The worst problem is there are no log or trace files when browser freezes.
I am sorry I could not help you but at least you will not feel you are alone. If I will manage to find some solution I will let you know.
Best regards.

Cannot read image file in oracle 10g forms, getting error frm-47100

I'm unable to read the image from the file location. But If I do re-save via MS-Paint the same image then I'm able to load successfully. I want to load image directly instead of re-save. Error getting like "frm-47100 Cannot read image file".
Need your co-operation to solve this issue.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Sindhu,
By default any operating system file extension starts after the dot. So in this case when it says 2 dots it will think there is something wrong.

Load balancing 10g forms - Connection from new browser window not supported

Load balancing 10g forms - Connection from new browser window not supported
We're experimenting with using webcache to load balance between multiple applications servers running OC4J forms processes.
We currently have one machine with infrastructure and mid-tier (BI & Forms) installed, which is being used for the webcache functionality, this is load balancing between 2 other servers each of which just have the mid-tier (BI & Forms) installation
In order to get this to work, I had to follow the instructions in the Forms deployment guide : http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_11/web.1012/b14032/tuning.htm#sthref707
The main gist of this is that you need to set the following in the orion-web.xml file in order that the sessions are maintained:
<session-tracking
cookies="enabled">
</session-tracking>
This all works fine in most cases.
The problem I am having is if I do one of the following on the client machine:
1) From IE6 / IE7 run a copy of a forms application. Then open a new window using the "New Window" menu option, and attempt to run another forms application.
2) In IE7 or Firefox 2.0 open a copy of the forms application, and then open a new tab and try and open another forms application.
If I try either of these I get a FRM-92101 error, and the following is displayed in the java console:
oracle.forms.net.ConnectionException: Connection from new browser window not supported
From trawling various forums (including metalink and otn) it looks like a problem with the way coockies are handled.
Unfortunately the usual workaround is to ensure that the session tracking option in the orion-web.xml file is disabled.
The problem is that I need this enabled in order for the load balancing to work.
Does anyone know of any other workarounds or patches that might help resolve this?
We're using Application server 10.1.2.0.2 running on windows 2003 servers.

You were right. Carriage returns were stopping it from working (the document is laid out over separate lines, so I assumed it would make no difference...).
I've now managed to get it so the forms at least run, but they are all being run in the forms OC4J instance on the same machine as the OHS.
Has anyone actually managed to get this to work, or am I doing something wrong?
I did wonder if using an OHS instance on a machine with no forms installation would make any difference?
I had raised a support call via metalink on this subject, but they eventually came to the conclusion that the only way to do this is with a hardware load balancer (Despite several documents suggesting that webcache is the way to go (including the forms deployment manual)).
I'm at the point now of giving up and writing some custom scripts to do the job instead...

Installing Oracle 10g Forms and Reports in Cluster Mode

Dear All,
My OS version is RHEL 4
In our current setup we have oracle 10g database two node cluster and Application Server 10g to node cluster.
Currently our report server has been configured to run in standalone mode
I have been asked to configure oracle 10g forms and report server in cluster mode.
Please provide me with the documentation link to configure oracle 10g reports server in cluster mode.

my main goal is load balancing only
Then what I've done in 2007 might be what you need. In that thread there is a link to Web Cache Administrator's Guide : there you'll find everything you need to configure the web cache as a load balancer, particularly chapter 8 Setup and Configuration.
Anyway, here briefly some configurations : we have two machines, say MachineA and MachineB. The DNS resolves MachineA to a virtual address, which is normally assigned to MachineA; if MachineA crashes, it gets assigned to MachineB.
Users URL looks like this : http://MachineA:<port>/forms/frmservlet?config=<some config>
MachineA's web cache distributes connection requests between MachineA and MachineB.
Of course we're now using 11g as well, but that's another thing.

Display Images using READ_IMAGE_FILE in 10g forms

Hello all, i have a simple question that I'm trying to resolve really quick.
I've created a field on a form in 10g forms that is of IMAGE type. I've given it a name and has given it a FILE_TYPE of GIF.
I've put some code in a POST-QUERY trigger of a block that calls the READ_IMAGE_FILE command, where I enter the filename, file_type, and block.item name. When I leave the path off the image name, forms runtime acts like it cannot find it. I get an FRM message displayed at runtime that says it "Cannot read image file". However, if I put the full path (like something pointing to a hard-coded directory on my C drive where the image file resides), the image displays fine at runtime.
I added the images to my JAR file where I have other images stored so they get opened at runtime under the ORACLE_HOME/forms/java directory. I was thinking that when I gave the filename, runtime would know to pull it out of there. But obviously, that's not what is happening.
Has anyone got ideas on what I could do to get the READ_IMAGE_FILE to display the image without hard-coding a path in?
Any help is appreciated!
Regards,
Chris

Here are some things to check:
1) Alll the images in the JAR file should have the same extension
2) In formsweb.cfg, include the JAR file in the ARCHIVE parameter and set imageBase=codebase
3) In registry.dat, leave iconpath blank and set iconextension=gif
4) In your READ_IMAGE_FILE call, use URL as the file type and don't use the extension on the file name. So if the image in your JAR is my_picture.gif, it would be something like READ_IMAGE_FILE('my_picture','URL','myblock.my_image_item');
If it still doesn't work, enable the Java console and when it comes up, enter the number 5 in the console to enable the highest level of logging. Then have a look at the console to see if the JAR is getting downloaded and where it's attempting to read the image from.

Using scatter graph type in oracle 10g forms using bi beans

hi.. how i can use scatter graph type in oracle 10g using bi beans..
it seems scatter graph is supported in 10g but it doesnt work at all..
i used to use oracle graphics builder in oracle 6i forms,now i need to convert all my old graphs to 10g forms..the line,bar and pie it work very well but the scatter didnt work..
so please if anyone know how to use it please tell me.. and what versions of bi beans support the scatter graph type
thanks.
u can email me in
[email protected]

Hi,
What version of Oracle Forms are you using? If it is 10.1.2.0.2 (10g R2 Phase 2) then the BI Beans version should be 10.1.2.1 (3.2.2.0.24.2).
When you run a Graph, do you see any version numbers?
Regardless of the version, scatter graph should work. What kind of errors are you getting?
When you install BI Beans in JDeveloper, you get access to BI Beans Help. Go to the following topic for setting up data for a scatter graph:
Help -> Building Applications with BI Beans -> Presenting Data in Graphs -> Specifying Data for Graphs
Did you try posting your question on the Oracle Forms forum?

10G Forms connect to MS Access via JDBC

A new project requires a 10G Form to connect to MS Access database. I understand 10G no longer connects to Access using ODBC. Will JDBC work? If JDBC can be used does anyone have a "How To" document or examples on how to connect orms 10G to MS Access via JDBC
Thanks
Ralph

I dont think it will work. In 10g forms is going to implement transparent gateways.
Is there a possibility of getting the data from MS access directly to Oracle database and then connect to Oracle DB from forms ?

Session Killing - Automatically in 10g Forms

Dear All,
We have used when-timer expired-trigger in 6i forms and killed sessions which are idle for more than 30 mins. But the same form does not work with 10g forms.
Is there any limitation in 10g forms with when-timer-expired trigger.
How do we enable this. Please help us in fixing this.
Thanks
Guru

I tried with "separateframe=true" in formsweb.cfg and it works fine for me.
What is not working when you set "separateframe=true"?
So far my experience with timeoutPJC is it works great with single form, form gets closed when the maximum Inactivity Period is exceeded but it is an issue when we try to implement it in multi-form application. My scenario is like this
- I have main form which works like a MENU with Hierarchial tree structure,
each node calls a different form within the application. Menu appears on the
left while individual forms appearing towards right upon invokation.
- I am trying to implement the timeoutPJC(Oracle Forms 10gR2 Demos) on this
form so that when the Maximum Inactivity period exceeds then the whole
application gets closed. It works GREAT when implemented on a single form
but in a multiple form application it doesn't seem to work.
- Also I have requirement to display a WARNING message 2 minutes prior to
timeout so that user will be notified before the application gets closed. I
tried to display forms ALERT but until the user acknowledges the alert application
will not close. As an alternative to the forms alert I tried displaying an
html document using WEBUTIL it is working ok but ideally I would like to see an Alert and close automatically just like AVG alert which shows timer after it has successfully updated and gets closed once the timeout occurs, anyone has ideas how to build such an alert?.
- From the main form (MENU) I use OPEN_FORM built-in() to open 1st level of
forms in the application. From this form I make use of CALL_FORM() to call
various other forms.
- If the focus is in the call form and if the form is in NORMAL mode
everything works great. But if the form is either in ENTER-QUERY mode or LOV
is opened and timeout occurs nothing happens until I close the called form
manually then all the forms get closed. How to overcome this situation?
- I can't understand why this doesn't work if the PJC is associated with the
JAVA applet?
**Is there a way we can close all the forms when timeout occurs without implementing timeoutPJC bean on all 600 odd forms in our application given the constraints I have defined above?
Thanks in Advance,
Venu

Invalid Objects - Converting 9i & 10g forms to Apex

I'm trying to convert my 9i & 10g forms to an Apex form. After converting the 9i form to HTML and creating the Project, I then try to generate the application and get errors. I get 'Invalid Objects' with the invalid table and column name listed. Upon checking out the invalid objects, every one is a "PUSH BUTTON' on the 9i form. Looking further into the Apex items, they have a 'Yes' value under the 'Database Item' heading. First off, push buttons are not database items and I think this is the problem.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? If so, how did you resolve. Thanks!

When you have look in the xml file, you will see that the button is included in the block as an Item element.
In the same Block element there is no corresponding DataSourceColumn element.
But APEX doesn't take this into account when it uploads the xml file.
Further on when you want to create the application, it will fail due to APEX thinking the button is a database column.
Sadly enough we are not able to customize the query or to exclude the item (don't know why).
Hopefully this will be solved in APEX 4.0 until then moving the button to a dummy block in Forms is a workaround.

Mathieu

10g Form - Can i invoke ms word within the from?

Hi everybody, I would appreciate if someone out there can help me with it......
On the form i have an ID Field.
I have a master MS Word file on the network drive.
Firstly
I have a button on the form. When pressed it should be able to create a New Folder on the network drive with the name of the folder same as ID Field. At the sametime it should copy the Master MS Word file and put it in the newly created folder.
Secondly
I want to open this Ms word file in the newly created folder within the 10g form and not run outside the form.
Kindly help........
irfi

Hi Francoise, Thank you for your reply.
The MS Word file resides on a shared folder on the server and doesnt get stored in the database (Independent of the database).
What i actually need is to be able to do 4 actions with a trigger on the button: meaning when the button is clicked it should:-
1- Create a new folder on the server
2- Copy the Original Master File to newly created folder.
3- The name of the folder to be the same as the ID Filed which is binded to a table.
4- To open the Ms Word file from the newly created folder within the oracle form and not like i have done in vb (Shell to open outside).
I have done this similar project in vb6 (Kindly have a look)
ServerFolderPath = "\\servername\foldername"
Private Sub Cmdsave_Click()
Dim Qry As String
Dim Re As New Recordset
Qry = "select * From IDRegistration where IDNo = '" & TxtIDNo.Text & "'" '(SQL Table)
If EditID = False Then
Re.Open Qry, DB, adOpenDynamic, adLockOptimistic
If Re.RecordCount > 0 Then
MsgBox "File with same ID Exists", vbInformation
