10g Form Developer Quits on compiling Forms connected to Sybase tables.

Dear Experts,
We have configured the connectivity for Sybase database with our oracle 9i database. using Hetero Geneous Service i.e using System_dsn ..etc.
On this Sybase connectivity 6i Forms are compiling and running successfully But with 10g Forms while compling it just close the 10g form developer.
For example....!
In 6i forms On Button Press trigger below insert command works perfectly.
But In 10g forms it say nothing and Just Quit.
begin
insert into *"sybase_table"@SYBASE_DSN_DBLINK*
("colum1","colum2")
values
('value1','value2');
commit;
end;
Please help to resolve this problem.
Thanks
Eidy

Hello,
1.) does it with with the forms compiler (frmcmp)?
2.) did you try creating a synonym for your object:
create synonym my_syn for sybase_table@SYBASE_DSN_DBLINK;and use this synonym?
3.) Did you try it with the latest patchsets if you didn't apply them (10.1.2.3 for forms)?
4.) Did you try it with another database version (9i reached sustaining support btw. so you might try it with e.g. 10.2)?
5.) If everything fails you can put your logic in a database procedure and use that?
cheers

Forms developer and jdeveloper

hi folks
what is the difference between forms developer and jdeveloper
if the both of them can deal with java and can deal with pl\sql ?
regards

You're looking at this from too high an altitude. After all, everything running on say a pc is just making machine language calls. It's the same machine language underneath the hood for everyone on that architecture. So from that perspective there can be no difference between any programming languages. But of course, that is not true from the developer nor the end user perspective.
There are many many angles on what makes one development environment good or bad and many competing perspectives. For example
flexibility. If the development environment extracts functionality into many separate pieces, it will be more flexible. A process can go from
a->b->g and bypass c,d,e,f so to speak. Whereas if a lot of functionality was glommed together one would be condemned to
a->b->c->d->e->f->g and getting it to perform outside that path might be extremely difficult or impossible. On the other hand,
if one really wanted the default path and that was sufficient for what one typically did, it would likely be a lot simpler to develop
that path in a tool that only did that path. With flexibility typically comes complexity. I think you're kinda looking at that with
say forms vs jdeveloper. If you need that mvvc or whatever it is model, the complexity of jdeveloper is the best choice but if you do not
want it and it just impedes you, then forms is your easiest and fastest environment for what I call DUIS :-) (data under form influences) aka (delete update insert select)

ORACLE DEVELOPER 10G FORMS, LOV AND QUERYING THE FORM

I have a form and I built an LOV on a particular field. The LOV returns the values, I select a value, it goes into the field, but what I want is to have the form retrieve all the information from the database and display (only) all the data. But when I put a value in the field from the LOV, nothing happens. i have tried to have the form go into "enter_query" mode, then select from the LOV, then end the "when button pressed" with "excute_query". But it will ask if i want to save, i say no, then it just displays the first record in the database. what am i doing wrong?
thank you,
Steven

here is my complete code on this button: when i press the button, it keeps asking me if i want to save it (if i say yes, it adds it to the table in the database, which i do not want). however, if i first select "enter query" from the menu bar, and then click on my button, everything works as expected.
set_item_property('SL_3_ITEMS_HEADER.SL_3_SHORT_TITLE',queryable,property_true);
--Set_Block_Property( 'SL_3_ITEMS_HEADER', DEFAULT_WHERE, 'parker.SL_3_SHORT_TITLE=:sl_3_short_title');
declare
     SL3 varchar2(12);
BEGIN
     go_item('SL_3_SHORT_TITLE');
list_values;
SL3 := :SL_3_ITEMS_HEADER.SL_3_SHORT_TITLE;
     if SL3 is not null then
          select SL_3_SHORT_TITLE into :SL_3_ITEMS_HEADER.SL_3_SHORT_TITLE
          FROM parker.SL_3_ITEMS_HEADER WHERE SL_3_short_title = SL3;
     ELSE
          message ('You need to specify an SL-3 to be able to search');
     end if;
     exception
          when no_data_found then
          message('An SL-3 with that name does not exist.');
          clear_form;
     end;
     execute_query;

Oracle 10g forms developer, How to add a graph item

Hi guys,
We are the final stage of Oracle EBS R12 implementation and developing inhouse applications and deploying them right now. However, would appreciate if somebody would share the knowledge about adding graph items with form modules. Most of the google search provides pointers towards graphs for reports. Any help would be appreciated.
We don't have existing graphs, so migrating from 6i is not a piont.
Thanks and regards,

Thank you very much Andreas. As you could read with my first post, we were totally into forms 6i until last few months and forms 10g is pretty new environment for us. We would appreciate incase if you could be more specific. Our requirement is simple right now, add a graph item. Hence, you may point us towards some repositories which are reliable for beginners.
Thanks and regards,

10g forms developed using windows machine is not working in Solaris machine

I have developed a form using the following version of Oracle Developer suit 10g Fomrs using WINDOWS machine.
My Application server is in a SOLARIS machine. All the .fmx are copied in the same SOLARIS machine in a directory.
I have copied the form (.fmx) in the same directories where the other forms are, in the SOLARIS machine.
Now i click on the menu item (menu item was already present there before developing the form in the menu. I did not have to create a new menu item in the Menu) in the windows machine.
The form doesnt appear.
Could you please tell me wheather i have to compile the form that i have developed in WINDOWS machine in some format of SOLARIS machine, or I have to do something else so that on the click of Menu item in Windows machine that form appears. Or Ihave to develop the form using SOLARIS machine?

10g Forms Developer - ORA 12541error message

This issue involves opening an existing form (.fmb) in Forms Builder. Initially an ORA-12560: TNS protocol adapter error was generated, but now I'm faced with an entirely different error message: ORA-12541: TNS: No Listener. I searched the specific error message in OTN, but found no explicit reolution information. Any assitance from veterans of battles with this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Please post your tnsnames.ora and sqlnet.ora from Forms builder machine. From database machine the result of "lsnrctl services".

How to change 10g forms url ?

Hello,
I developed forms in 10g forms developer and I can call my forms from web browser with default url like http://server:port/forms/frmservlet?config=myform.
Is there anyway the change that url like http://myform.com or something?
Thank you for your replies :)

Well, the first thing to understand is that when you call the Forms Servlet (frmservlet) you are calling a java application and not static content like an html page. So, changing the URL isn't exactly as easy as it would be for a simple web page. On the other hand, hiding the the real URL or redirecting to the proper url can be done fairly easily.
All of these assume you are using Application Server.
OPTION 1 - Hide The URL +(more information can be found in MyOracleSupport note 300326.1)+
<blockquote>There are several ways in which you can hide the real url, but probably the easiest will be to use an IFRAME. The only potential problem with this is that some security software or browser security settings may prevent this from working. So, here's what you do:
1. Using an HTML or text editor, create a static html file with the following code. Replace my Forms url with your own.
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>My Application</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<FRAMESET ROWS="100%,*" FRAMEBORDER=NO FRAMESPACING=0 BORDER=0>
<FRAME SRC="http://someServer:port/forms/frmervlet?config=myconfg" NAME="redir_frame">
</FRAMESET>
<NOFRAMES>
Sorry, your browser does not support frames. Click <A HREF="http://someServer:port/forms/frmervlet?config=myconfg" TARGET=_top>here</A>
</NOFRAMES>
<BODY>

</BODY>
</HTML>2. In the Oracle home from where OHS is running, find the htdocs directory within the OHS (apache) directories.
3. Rename "index.html", "index.html_original"
4. Copy your html file to this directory and name it "index.html"
It is possible that the html file being used is not "index.html". To determine the correct page, you may need to review your httpd.conf file as this is where the default page is set. Look for DirectoryIndex</blockquote>
OPTION 2 - Redirect To The Proper URL
<blockquote>1. Find and open httpd.conf
2. Within the file, locate this: <Directory />
3. Just below this line add the following. Use your own Forms url
RedirectMatch ^/$ /forms/frmservlet?config=somewhere</blockquote>

Jdeveloper and forms developer

hi folks
what is the difference between forms developer and jdeveloper
if the both of them can deal with java and can deal with pl\sql ?
regards

Java language defines the syntax (reserved words, keywords, operators, declarations, object instantiations, method invocations, etc.) + some packages of built-in basic classes (e.g. classes from packages java.jang, java.io, java.util, java.math, etc.). As Shay recommended, the free on-line book "Thinking in Java" is a very good starting point for learning Java language.
Java Standard Edition refers to the Java language + a large foundation of built-in classes and utilities called Java SE SDK. It includes classes for IO, networking, creation of desktop GUI (Java Swing), XML parsing, security and many many more. Java SE technology may be used for implementing standalone applications (for example, client-server applications that do not require middle-tier application server).
Java Enterprise Edition refers to Java Standard Edition + another foundation of built-in classes called Java EE SDK. Java EE is both a concept and a specification for development of complex applications utilizing middle-tier application servers (e.g. Web applications, Web services, distributed components, distributed transactions, etc.).
I am sure that my explanation of the difference between Java language, Java SE and Java EE is neither academic nor precise one, but I hope you will be able to undestand the general difference.

Upgrade from 11i to R12 - Custom Forms,Reports and Workflows

Dear Community Friends,
We are planning for upgrade from oracle apps 11.5.10.2 to R12.
We have custom Forms,Form Libraries,Reports and Workflows.
Kindly provide me for approach on how to migrate Custom form libraries,reports and Workflows.
I beleive, this thread will exists as one shot point for custom forms,reports,workflow upgradation from 11i to r12 with detailed steps.
I know that many links exists here in the forum for all the above objects mentioned,but still from all those i am able to get a clear picture for oracle forms but not for custom form libraries ,reports and workflows.
Also,this post will provide a low level,practical picture of the steps for those who are in line with this.
Links i have read for all these in our forum are:
For Custom Forms,
Re: Planning to upgrade from 11i to R12
Re: Custom forms: After upgrading 11i to R12
ofcourse,'n' number of links exists providing metalink notes also.
Hussain,Helios and some others also has given many updates regd this.
For custom workflow upgradation,
Upgrade Workflow 11i to R12
Workflow Upgrade
Workflow Upgrade
For reports,links mentioned the below metalink notes:
Do Not Compile EBS R12 Reports Using rwconverter.sh or Reports Builder from IDS 10gR2 [ID 786794.1]
Using the OracleAS 10.1.2 Forms and Reports Builders with Oracle Applications Release 12 [ID 444248.1]
Per my understanding, after searching in many threads,i am here by summarising the practical low level steps for custom forms migration
Please correct me,if i am wrong.
1) Download the Forms(.fmb's) and all PLL's(all the PLL from resource folder in AU_TOP) into a Local Machine Folder
2) Open the forms using Forms Developer 10G and connect to DB
3) Compile by clicking compilein Forms Developer and then save it.
4) Upload the Saved Forms(.fmb's) into the new R12 server(system) in the respective custom paths(paths similar to 11i Server)
5) Compile all the forms using the command like below(example command is shown below or f60 gen commands or frmcmp.sh utility) in the respective custom form paths,
this will generate the .fmx's.
frmcmp_batch module=FORMNAME.fmb userid=apps/apps output_file=FORMNAME.fmx compile_all=yes
Link for compiling forms: https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/ui/km/SearchDocDisplay.jspx?_afrLoop=359210362972527&type=DOCUMENT&id=1085928.1&displayIndex=3&_afrWindowMode=0&_adf.ctrl-state=c348xvwbg_98
6) Open the form and check in R12 instance
As per my understanding for custom form libraries,we can just copy paste the PLL's from 11i server to R12 server (Please correct me,if i am wrong)
Can anyone please help me out in custom reports and custom workflows.Sorry that,i could not get a practical and clear picture for reports and also for workflow even after referring many threads and metalink notes mentioned.
As for reports,some says that Developer Suite 10g can be used and .rdf can be used in R12.
Some says that reports should be converted to XML published as reports does not exists in R12.
So,i am not clear on this.
Thanks,

Some says that reports should be converted to XML published as reports does not exists in R12.
So,i am not clear on this.You can still use RDF files in R12, and just follow the approach you mentioned above, and you do not have to migrate them to XML publisher (though it is recommended, but this can be done after the upgrade as an enhancement task).
For custom workflow, you need also to do the same thing, open them using workflow builder and make sure they work in R12 (correct the code if required and save them again in R12 once they work properly).

Oracle 10G forms not running.......very urgent

Hi all,
shayan here......
i have just installed oracle databse 10g and oracle 10G developer........i have done it first time....the forms is not running even the test form is not running....i have start the OCJ4 but still the same result..............any sujjestion how to configure....
plz tell me

Shayan,
I assume that you are trying to run the form from within Forms Developer and that you are connected to the database.
Now you have to apply the URL that have to be used when running a form. At one of the tabs in the options screen (where you also can choose to save before generating and generate before running or to get debug messages) you can set the default URL by pressing a button.
At this moment I don't have a 10g installation in reach so I cannot give you the exact menuoptions and mouse clicks.
With kind regards,
Martin Schaap

Source for oracle 9i Forms developer certification

Hi,
Someone told me that oracle 10g & 11 g are mainly for those interested in database administration. But, since i am interested in developers certification i want to go for oracle 9i forms developer certification ( I want to have knowledge about Forms, reports etc)
Can we learn it without any tutions ??
If yes, can you please specify websites or book names??
Thanks & regards

I could write an essay, but some of my views are:
I am sure the Oracle would regard databases Oracle 10g and Oracle 11g as later versions of the Oracle Database that are generally upwards compatible with 9i but also with newer and better features.
Because there are significant(ish) adminstration differences in these database versions there is emphasis of these database administration certifications.
On the developer size yes PL/SQL has also improved, but the requirement for a newer certifiaction exam (at OCP level) was perhaps not quite so pressing:
This seems to be addressed version of the pl/sql exam, 1z0-144 (in beta), but from history even after 1z0-144 is fully released most forums vistors will go for 1z0-147 rather than 1z0-144 (see 1z0-007 versus 1z0-051 posts).
Also note that newer tools versions may not be closely coupled to newer database versions.
But, since i am interested in developers certification i want to go for oracle 9i forms developer certification ( I want to have knowledge about Forms, reports etc)
I suspect from a developers point of view oracle 9i forms developer is so similar to oracle 10g forms developer there is not much need/demand for a oracle 10g forms developer certification. (I would expect more emphasis to be put on producing an application express certifiaction anyway)
Can we learn it without any tutions ??
Not impossible but hard.
Oracle Recommended course woudl be: [http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getlppage?page_id=212&path=FMDT]
If yes, can you please specify websites or book names??
- And courses:
- Oracle have some self study CDROMs : [http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getSearchResults?p_output_style=T&p_search_category_id=1278&p_search_format=2]
- There may be some fair/good courses arround. In india I think, butt am not sure, sql_star are an authorised partner and give forms training. Beware of unauthorised training.
- In terms of books
There are probably more bad forms books than good ones, and most are going out of print (consider second hand). Some sites like amazon have reviews.
- Websites:
- If you see or are given any websites at a miinimum check the URL through [http://www.certguard.com]
- The one site I know of is [http://www.iselfschooling.com]. Its not got a RED at certguard, and its not got a full green either. Theres a few lessons you can get for free. For learning forms definitely no problems. If going straight for a certification then may be bad. But I believe its more training orientated than dump orientated and I believe their using original materials (if anyone knows different please let me know and certguard know and I'm have for this post to be edited or deleted).

Forms Developer vs Forms Server

Hello All,
What is diffence between Oracle Forms Developer and Oracle Forms Server?
when should we use Oracle Forms Server?
Regards,
DN

Hi there,
In brief and without getting too technical...
Oracle Forms Developer is the tool that you use to build the source Form files (FMB) and you need to compile the FMB files into FMX files before it can be executed. The current version of Forms Builder is 10g. The software is part of a suite of software products commonly known as 9ids/10ids.
Oracle Forms Server is the middle tier software that executes the FMX files. This software is old technology (refers to verion 6/6i). The current middle tier software is called 9ias/10ias of which Forms Services is one of the modules.
Hope that helps.
Regards,
John

How long is Oracle Forms/Developer Suite to be supported?

Hi.
I'm just curious how long Oracle are committed to supporting or creating new versions of Oracle Forms Developer / Developer Suite. I've heard, from one or two sources, that the intention is to abandon forms, and move the focus completely to Jdeveloper some time soon...
Is this true? does anyone know anything different?

Here we are again whith that question...
I'm a senior forms developer (and to make a little humour i've just recently learned designer...)
I think the confusion comes also from "J2EE Application Development for Forms and Designer Developers" which can make us thinking oracle is pushing up to J2EE and prepare us for the Dead of Forms RIP ...
And also that forms developer like me are a little bit afraid because they probably have no skills in J2EE.
But for me it is clear now.
There is no reason to migrate Forms to J2EE with whatelse tool can be sell to you.
I tried some demos in the past with such tools and it makes me laugh, converting a simple master detail forms dept/emp.
What can such tools make with very complex forms and logic ?
But the question is if I had to create a new application will i still do it with Forms ?
And the answer (for me) is no, especially when I see what the next Jdeveloper 11g will be able to do (I tried the fusion order demo and i was really impressed)
You say "I've invested so much time in learning, and becoming proficient at Oracle Forms..."
And so did I but I bought the book "Oracle JDeveloper 10g for Forms and PL/SQL Developers" and I study it page after page to enter the ADF world and upgrade my knowledge.
So Forms or J2EE it is your choice and i will not post the link to the SOD (francois did it) but Forms can also live in a SOA world http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/pdf/10gR2/forms-soa-wp.pdf
but we, forms developers, we must not only focus on forms and its death, but also go ahead and invest so much time we did to learn forms in learning J2EE, BPEL and etc etc.
Hope this can help
Jean-Yves
ps : relating to older post, forms was dead each time a new version of the appServer was comming :o)
