10g Forms in Normal Mode

Dear All,
I have installed first time Oracle Developers Suite 10g 10.1.2.0.2. When I try to open Forms these open in Web mode. Is there any way to open forms in Normal Mode. Developers Suite is installed in Windows 2003 OS.
Also how to use forms from command line?
Your help would highly be appreciated.
Regards,

If you mean client/server mode then the answer is no. Forms 10g only run in web mode.

How to put the form in Query mode

Hello
Please let me know how to put the form or block in Query mode , so that when i run the form it should be in Query mode . I have seen properties of SET_FORM_PROPERTY and SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY but cannot find one
Thanks

QUERY mode? Did you mean, that you can only QUERY without changing data.
This is the QUERY-ONLY-mode, which can be started e.g. call_form
this is the help for that topic:
PROCEDURE CALL_FORM
(formmodule_name VARCHAR2,
display NUMBER,
switch_menu NUMBER,
query_mode NUMBER,
data_mode NUMBER,
paramlist_name VARCHAR2);
query_mode
NO_QUERY_ONLY (The default.) Form Builder will run the indicated form in normal mode, allowing the end user to perform inserts, updates, and deletes from within the called form.
QUERY_ONLY Form Builder will run the indicated form in query-only mode, allowing the end user to query, but not to insert, update, or delete records.

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.
Thanks and Regards

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.

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

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

Normal Mode vs Expert Mode

Today I have found something really weird, that I would like to know if anyone knows the reason.
I have a programmatic View Object with a transient attribute rendered as an InputListOfValues. This attribute has a related read-only View Obect which displays the LOV content. A few days ago I disabled the Application Module's pool in order to test the passivation, and since then everytime I opened the LOV, selected a row and clicked on the OK button I got this error:
SQL error during statement preparation. Statement: SELECT SupVendors.VENDOR_CODE, SupVendors.VENDOR_NAME, SupVendorsPerDonorCenter.DONOR_CENTER_ID, SupVendorsPerDonorCenter.ROWID, SupVendorsPerDonorCenter.VENDOR_CODE AS VENDOR_CODE1 FROM SUP_VENDORS SupVendors, SUP_VENDORS_PER_DONOR_CENTER SupVendorsPerDonorCenter WHERE (SupVendors.VENDOR_CODE = :fbkKy__0)
For an unkown reason, when copying the selected row's values to the programmatic VO, ADF replaced the original name of the bind variable in the query for this "fbkKy__0". Plus, the where clause has another condition before the bind variable's one, which does not appear in the error message. I wasn't able to understand why this happened so I checked everything in both programmatic and LOV ViewObjects, but everything was fine. Today I have noticed that the LOV VO had the query in Normal mode (which is OK, or at least it should) and I have switched it to Expert Mode, just to try something different. Well, the fact is that this has automatically solved the problem and now the LOV is working fine again! And if I set it back to Normal Mode, it crashes again.
How can the query's editing mode can have any effect in runtime? I have to suppose this has some relation to the disabled pool and the passivation I am testing, but I cannot figure out why. Does anyone know what's happening?
Thank you in advance!

I have been doing some testing in a dummy application, and I can say this happens with any kind of View Object (it does not need to be programmatic, and the LOV attribute can be entity based) in both forms and tables. The only conditions are to disable the Application Module's pool and that the LOV's query includes a bind variable. Oh, and I forgot to say that I am working with JDeveloper 11.1.1.2.

Run form in debug mode with windows vista

hi guys
plz help me
i'm using oracle forms 10g r2 on windows vista home primume and everything is ok but

the jvm 1.4 give me jvm is aborting after that
the oc4j give me the following error frm-92101 there was a failure in the form server during start up
thanks

Hi Manoj,
You can do it directly from felix console. just go to http://<host>:<port>/system/console/slinglog there you will see all log files. under first table "Log Level" you will see all the log files and besides to that you will have configuration option, just go there and set log level for each of log files and save it.
Let me know if you need more information.
Thanks,

Iconic file in oracle 10g forms

hii,,
i am a new user in oracle 10g form,,,here i am running a form & placing all the icons in a folder,after that i changed the iconic file path in the default.env file,the path is same where the icons are kept,,but still i am unable to see the icons at the run time,,,,,
do i need to modify some other file or the icons will be kept at some particaular place????
plzzzz help.....

hi
1 How to Display Iconic Images Using Forms 9.0.x/ 10.x?
When running an Oracle Forms 9i/10g application the icon files used must be in a web enabled
format such as JPG or GIF (GIF is the default format) (This is unlike older versions of forms running in client-server mode when the file format is .ico.)
Icon image files can either be retrieved by Forms as individual files on the filesystem or from a Java Archive (JAR file).
If an application uses lots of icon images it is recommended that they are stored in a JAR file to reduce the number of HTTP round trips.
Reference:Note 232413.1 How to Deploy Iconic Images via a JAR File in Forms 9i/10g?
The example below details steps to configure iconic images as individual gif or jpeg files.
It is a first approach recommended for initial testing and understanding.
Example:
========
This document has been written for use with both Windows and UNIX operating systems: Windows will use the "\" character to delimit directories and UNIX uses the "/" character. Any other differences are noted in the document.
1) Determine the physical location of the icons on your web server. For this example, assume that the icons are stored in D:\Myfiles\icons.
2) Create the virtual directory in the forms90.conf file that point to the location of your Forms 9i/10g icons. This file is located in:
$ORACLE_HOME\forms90\server\forms90.conf
To define a virtual directory forms90/icons, use the following syntax:
# Virtual path for ICONS (used to show icons in a form ) AliasMatch ^/forms90/icons/(..*) "D:\Myfiles/icons/$1"
Below is an example of the forms90.conf after it has been modified to include the /forms90/icons virtual directory.
# Virtual path mapping for Forms Java jar and class files (codebase) AliasMatch ^/forms90/java/(..*) "E:\IASR2\APP/forms90/java/$1" # Virtual path for JInitiator downloadable executable and download page AliasMatch ^/forms90/jinitiator/(..*) "E:\IASR2\APP/jinit/$1" # Virtual path for runform.htm (used to run a form for testing purposes) AliasMatch ^/forms90/html/(..*) "E:\IASR2\APP/tools/web90/html/$1"
# Virtual path for ICONS (used to show icons in a form ) AliasMatch ^/forms90/icons/(..*) "D:\Myfiles/icons/$1"
( For 10g use instead of "forms90" -> "forms")
3) Direct forms to use the /forms90/icons or /forms/icons virtual directory when running on the web by modifying the Registry.dat file in the $ORACLE_HOME\forms90\java\oracle\forms\registry or $ORACLE_HOME\forms\java\oracle\forms\registry
directory. Note that for UNIX, both the path name and file name are case sensitive. You must specify "Registry.dat".
Modify the default.icons.iconpath entry as follows: default.icons.iconpath=http:///forms90/icons/ or default.icons.iconpath=http:///forms/icons/
If the URL used to bring up forms on the web is: http://abc.oracle.com:7778/forms90/f90servlet or http://abc.oracle.com:7778/forms/frmservlet
Then the entry required for the Registry.dat will be: default.icons.iconpath=http://abc.oracle.com:7778/forms90/icons or default.icons.iconpath=http://abc.oracle.com:7778/forms/icons default.icons.iconextension=gif
4) Now use EM Website to: a) Restart the OC4J-BI-Forms Instance b) Restart the BI-FORMS HTTP Server Instance.
5) Verify that the virtual directory has been defined properly and that the icons can be viewed in a browser.
Assuming that exeqry.gif exists in the D:\Myfiles\icons directory, the following URL should show the icon:
http://abc.oracle.com:7778/forms90/icons/exeqry.gif or http://abc.oracle.com:7778/forms/icons/exeqry.gif
6) Check the form : http://abc.oracle.com:7778/forms90/f90servlet?form=D:\Testcases\F90\ICON_CHECK_IASR2.fmx or http://abc.oracle.com:7778/forms/frmservlet?form=D:\Testcases\F10g\ICON_CHECK_IASR2.fmx
CHECKLISTS
=============
Icons do not appear in the browser using the URL:
o Verify that you are using the correct machine name and port for the OC4J_BI_Forms object.
o Check the virtual directory name to make sure that there are no typographical errors. o Check for typographical errors in the forms90.conf or forms.
conf for the virtual directory. o Check the name of the icon on the file system. If the file is saved as Exeqry.gif, then it will not be found using the URL http://abc.oracle.com:7778/forms90/ Close all your browser sessions and open a new browser window.
Execute the URL to bring up from the Form Builder runtime or from the browser.
( For 10G use "forms" instead of "forms90")USEFUL REFERENCES:==================

Windows Media Player 12, Windows 7 does not play AVCHD (.mts) video in embedded mode, but does in normal mode

I've run into a problem with WMP 12 on Windows 7 involved in playback of AVCHD files. When run in 'normal' mode from Windows Explorer, WMP opens the video file and plays it back beautifully. However, I'm building an application with
WMP embedded. When running WMP from within the application (c#), the same AVCHD plays audio but no video.
I've seen this type of problem before with respect to audio playback of mp4 files in WMP from embedded-mode: the MP4 license prohibited audio playback when run from embedded mode but played the audio fine when WMP was launched from explorer.
I was able to solve this particular problem by using a 3rd party codec pack.
In this case, I've tried a number of packs K-Lite, etc., but to no avail. My problem persists. I suspect perhaps I've encountered a similar licensing-type issue with a SONY CODEC and the state in which WMP is playing back files but I
have not yet been able to track it down.
Any ideas?

Hello,
It seems that you are using the Windows Media Player control in a window form forum,
as far as I know, the Windows Media Player control does not raise an exception when it encounters an error such as an invalid URL. Instead, it signals an event. Please try to set an event to try to catch the expcetion as described in the link below:

10g Form - first execute query - very slow

I have the following issue:
Enter an application
open a form in enter query mode
first time execute query is very slow (several minutes)
every other time it's quick (couple seconds or less)
I can leave the form, use other forms within the app, come back and query is still quick. It's only the first time after initially launching the app.
Any ideas what might be causing this?

We have the same application running in 6i client/server DB-9i in production. We are testing the upgraded application that is 10g forms on OAS DB-10g. We don't have the issue in the current production client/server app.

Query_only and normal mode issue

a form, consists of 5 columns from a data block is been called from a menu where it decides it should be query_only mode or noraml mode. my issue is query_only mode out of five only three are getting displyed whereas in normal mode all the five columns are getting displayed. any suggestion are really grateful.

i did find that if i created an non database item then
the form is working fine in query_only mode.This indicates only ambiguity,So strange and unlogical..
we had inputs for ur problems that
a form, consists of 5 columns from a data block is been called from a menu >where it decides it should be query_only mode or noraml mode
The problem is..
query_only mode out of five only three are getting displayed whereas
in normal mode all the five columns are getting displayedu must missing something u didn't mention like:
Is this Form Master-detail or Multi-records form .. i really don't know have
no comment..!
Waiting for a clarification from u..
May be u r trying to call a detail form without it's parent so something is broken with the relation.
Try to find out r the 2 columns that don't displayed r foregin key for example..!
even i am not convincing with what i am saying but sometimes happen..! due to the logical is unknown for us..!

Launching from web a form in debug mode (?!)

Hello,
I have Developer Suite 10g with WebUtil 1.6. I am playing with a form, which has an attached library from which use a function. This function doesn't function properly and I would like to debug it.
Problem: in Forms Developer, when I launch the form in DEBUG MODE, it launches my form using the webutil configuration section. The URL looks like this:
http://localhost:8889/forms/frmservlet?config=webutil
I need to launch the form with another configuration section and at the same time in debug mode.
How should I do this?
Thank you in advacne for the help.

forms-builder:
look at Edit-Preferences, go to the last tab (Runtime) and then look at "Application Server URL"
there you can change the used section of your forms builder configuration

& (ampersand) in 10g form

Hi All,
We have some issue about the & (ampersand) functionality in 6i forms which is not found in 10g form.
We successfully convert the forms from 6i to 10g but when the users do their TESTING they found out
that the & (ampersand) functionality was missing in 10g form what I mean is that in 6i form when you try
to query a group of records in a particular field you just hit F7 then type & (ampersand) then hit F8 it will
display a window that allows you to write a query for that particular field then hit ENTER.. Then it will
dsplay the records...
Example: destination in ('6050','6060') then HIT Enter then it will display the recoreds...
Does anyone knows that this funtionality found in 10g forms? If YES how to invoke it?
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Regards,
Jun

We made this change to our default.env and bounced the server. But the query/where window does not seem to appear. I'm using IE 7 (Version 7.0.5730). The forms server is on Linux and the database is 11g. We are upgrading from 10.7 to R12.
*$ORACLE_HOME/forms/server/default.env* has the following:
+# Disable/remove this variable if end-users need access to the query-where+
+# functionality which potentially allows them to enter arbitrary SQL+
+# statements when in enter-query mode.+
FORMS_RESTRICT_ENTER_QUERY=FALSE+
Does it matter if the FALSE is enclosed in double quotes? Also, shouldn't we need "export FORMS_RESTRICT_ENTER_QUERY"?
This parameter is also defined in $APPL_TOP/<instance>.env as follows.
# Disable/remove this variable if end-users need access to the query-where
# functionality which potentially allows them to enter arbitrary SQL
# statements when in enter-query mode.
FORMS_RESTRICT_ENTER_QUERY=FALSE
We changed this value also to FALSE and bounced the server still with no luck. Any pointers?
