9iAS and 9iDS Forms

Hi,
I've install Oracle 9iAS and 9iDS on one pc, both as default, just different home.
I've made simple Form, but I can't run it.
Browser show me next message : "The page cannot be displayed"
1. What I have to run and configure?
2. Is it good idea to use 9iAS and 9iDS on one pc?
Thank you

To start off, just work with iDS - so to run your form in that case you need to manually start OC4J - use the option in the Start menu for this -
Oracle 9i Developer Suite -> Forms Developer -> Start OC4J Instance
By default, that OC4J will be listening on port 8888,
so your url would be something like:
HTTP://<yourmachine>:8888/forms90/f90servlet?form=myform

9iAS using 9iDS Forms servlet

On my single machine, I am not interested in installing the infrastructure. I have 9iDS installed and I can run my forms app through my 9iDS supplied OC4J, port 8888. No prob.
I want a simple way to run SSL with my forms app. My idea is install 9iAS (HTTP server, J2EE option) and have it front end my OC4J to more easily (than making OC4J do ssl) accomplish this.
Can this work? If so, what are my steps?
I tried modifying my oracle_apache file to point to my 9iDS forms servlet with a line like
#Forms Servlet
include "c:\oracle_9i\forms90\server\forms90.conf"
My 9iAS is in a separate oracle home.

Frank,
the Business Intelligence and Forms requires the 9iAS Infrastructure. As I indicated, I do not (gave up after trying for 2 weeks to install) have or want the infrastructure.
I understand that J2EE provides HTTP server capability, but the effort to configure SSL would be easier with 9iAS than dinking with the OC4J xml and configuring keys, etc.
So, I have 9iAS (no infrastructure) and 9iDS on the same machine. I noticed that 9iDS uses port 8888 and default 9iAS uses 7777 base. I am still trying. I am going to try a virtual host for my apache to 9iDS.
Oh, I did get 9iAS to create and manage my Oracle9iDS OC4J instance. Now the trick is actually executing through it. Then I will turn on SSL.
SUGGESTIONS STILL WELCOME!!

Configuring 9iAS and 9iDS on stand-alone WIN XP Pro

I've been trying to finish up assignments for class using Forms Builder from 9iDS, and now when I try to run a form after it has been compiled I get this message:
FRM-10142: The HTTP listener is not running on <computer name> at port 8889. Please start the listener or check your runtime preferences.
I've read through various websites, along with Oracle, that talk about configuring the HTTP listener. And all of them mention an Oracle Application Server Manager 4.0. I cannot find such a component in my installation of 9iAS.
The TNS Listener seems to be running fine. I'm able to connect to the database, and run various services. Can you tell me how I can get an HTTP Listener configured?
A Question that was asked was if I was running the form as a web-form or as client-server? The HTTP listener is only involved when attempting to run the form as a "web-form".
Also, for some reason, the DEMO schema did not get installed. Where would I find this?

Has anyone here actually had a problem which they traced to SP2 and as a result decided to remove SP2 or otherwise go back to an XP install without SP2?
No one that i've heard about if installing from slipstreamed sp2 cd.
The only ones with problems i've noticed is peps that have all kind of software and drivers installed pre sp2 upgrade .
And the upgrade goes bad caused by unidentified installed software and/or drivers that crash with the A64 combined with sp2 DEP technology.

Developer2000 application with Oracle 8i AND 9iDS

Hello,
We have a large application written in Developer 2000 and Oracle8i. We got three new products : Oracle 9i database, Oracle 9iAS and Oracle 9iDS (developer Suite).
I have the following questions :
(1) Can I compile and run my dev2k application with 9iDS (forms and reports dveloper) and view through a browser over the web ? Someone suggested that we can. I like to verify.
(2) What is the relationship of 9iDS with 9iAS ? Can I just install 9iDS and backend Oracle database and run my application (without 9iAS) ? This is very important for me.
(3) Can 9iAS talk to Oracle 8i seamlessly or we have to have Oracle 9i database in the backend ? Oracle 9i database has a large footprint and it needs Itenium 2 for executions which we do not have.
PLEASE HELP ME BY ANSWERING THESE QUESTIONS.
Thanks,
Shyam Sarkar

quick answers:
1. Yes
2. you can develop with 9iDS and be able to "view" what you developed with it. When it comes to deployment, then you need 9iAS Enterprise Edition (the only version which has forms/reports services). Another words, you need license for both 9iDS and 9iAS EE.
3. I just verified from Metalink (only for the solaris platform) that 9iAS is certified against 9i and 8.1.7 database servers. For other platforms, please check Metalink.
hope this proves useful.

9iDS forms 9i gif icons won't display

I have been on metalink and have yet to get a ggod answer on how to make my gif icons appear on my forms in 9iDS Forms 9i. I am on adevelopment machine and have modified my %ORACLE_HOME%\forms90\j2ee\orion-web.xml by addidng the folling lines:
<virtual-directory virtual-path="/webicons"
real-path="d:\webicons" />
Then I modified %ORACLE_HOME%\forms90\java\forms\registry\registry.dat file to read:
default.icons.iconpath=/webicons/
default.icons.iconextension=gif
and I've tried
default.icons.iconpath=/webicons
default.icons.iconextension=gif
and I've tried
default.icons.iconpath=webicons/
default.icons.iconextension=gif
My %ORACLE_HOME%\forms90\server\formsweb.cfg reads:
imageBase=DocumentBase
I was told to remove imageBase=DocumentBase from %ORACLE_HOME%\forms90\server\basejini.htm but I only found:
<PARAM NAME="imageBase" VALUE="%imageBase%">
imageBase="%imageBase%"
in that file. But, even commenting on or the other or both did not yield positive results.
After each modification to the above files I made sure that I closed the browser and stopped and re-started the OC4J Instance before opening the browser.
Once again, I am doing this on a development computer with all files on that computer and I am NOT deploying any of this to 9iAS.
What is wrong?
TIA,
Ed.

Ed,
You're right, there's no reason that you must use the jar file method. For testing, it makes sense to use your images "as is".
I think I see the problem with your config. You should always do this test to to verify that you can see your icons before running your Form: look at your icon in a browser.
You said that you modified %ORACLE_HOME%\forms90\j2ee\orion-web.xml and created the following virtual path:
<virtual-directory virtual-path="/webicons" real-path="d:\webicons" />Restart your OC4J listener, and see if you can see the icon in your browser:
http://host:port/[color=red]forms90[color]/webicons/someicon.gif
I bet you can. That's because you edited the orion-web.xml for Forms, which affects everything under the /forms90/ path. That is, host:port/forms90/ is the document root to that orion-web.xml. This is perfectly ok, but in your registry.dat, you need to put in the full thing:
default.icons.iconpath=/[color=red]forms90[/color]/webiconsIf you want to do it the "normal" way, modify the following:
%ORACLE_HOME%\j2ee\Oracle9iDS\application-deployments\default\defaultWebApp\orion-web.xml
This is the xml file for the base web listener. Now you can see the icon in your browser:
http://host:port/webicons/someicon.gif
which will let you use the following in your Registry.dat file:
default.icons.iconpath=/webiconsSee, I told you that you were close!

9iDS Forms - Cannot Run Forms In Forms Builder

Attempting to run and test a form using 9iDS Forms Builder, only get a blank screen. Any suggestions ???

Kevin,
please check if the Jinitiator version that you have installed on your machine matches with the classid setting in the formsweb.cfg file (forms90/server/formsweb.cfg). Internet Explorer has zero tolerance.

9iDS Forms Help not working

I cannot get the Help to work in 9iDS forms. I have upgraded to 9iDS 9.0.2.0.1 (which I believe is the latest) and still have the problem. All other installations in our shop get a FRM-xxxxx error message.
I have had a TAR on Metalink for two weeks now and all of the advice of the support rep is doing no good.
Anyone else out there with the same problem?

Just a Wild hunch - has your Oracle_Home directory name got any spaces in it?

Screen scrape Oracle 9iAS web based forms

Hello Friends,
We are currently in the coding stage of a screen scraping application.But we are facing a serious problem,that might cause us to abandon this project altogather.We are supposed to screen scrape Oracle 9iAS based Oracle Forms,precisely speaking we have to trace the Msgboxes and Statusbar warnings,which are thrown at runtime during any transaction by the system.Could anyone help?
Please reply ASAP.

Hi,
though this is not security related: You can use JavaBeans within a Bean Container in Oracle Forms. This allows you to add any Java you like to the Forms front end. However, you may have to dig a bit into the Forms client for this.

Acrobat XI Windows 7 - unable to (copy and) paste form fields to a different pdf.

To maintain a consistent appearance and function in the forms I create for various departments, I copy a few form fields (text, checkboxes) from an unrelated Acrobat PDF. Then I paste those fields into a different PDF document that I am making fillable.
I do this because Acrobat does not allow setting a default for certain attributes when creating form fields, i.e. an unchecked scroll option, a default font other than Helvetica (in Acrobat 8, 9, and X). Plus it is time-saving to copy and paste fields that are the same in another PDF, like name, address, phone. etc.
We just updated to Acrobat XI and Windows 7 and now I cannot paste copied fields onto a different PDF.
Using "replace pages" is not applicable as I am pasting to an entirely different form and copying form fields with the settings I use.
Is this a glitch or is something new that was not in Acrobat 8, 9, and X?
Also, question regarding this forum entry - http://forums.adobe.com/message/5638333#5638333 - which is somewhat different from my current question.
The PDF creator could not paste copied fields on other pages of the same PDF. Was this ever resolved so that copy and paste worked as it has for the last 3 versions of Acrobat?
Thanks!
Joanie

Gilad: You're right: when the fields are different, such as a checkbox and a text field, and you try to title them the same, Acrobat gives you a message. I received no messages, the field names are not the same or I missed one and Acrobat is no longer messaging about it.
My question is different. Acrobat XI will not let me paste any field copied from a different PDF. I've been doing that for 5 years in three different versions. Maybe Acrobat XI has a new process for that, which I could not find in Acrobat help. Maybe it's because all forms now have extended rights automatically in Acrobat XI and there is another method to copy common fields to other PDFs.
Any thoughts about the new Acrobat XI? It's different in many good ways, but different.
Thanks for your ideas.

What is the diff b\w open form and start form in scripts.

Hi,
can any one tell me what is the diff andb\w open form and start form in scripts.when we should use open form and when start form.

Hi Friend.
I have understood some usefull information and would like to share with you.
Within one transaction, you can open and close several layout sets using OPEN_FORM and
CLOSE_FORM, however not simultaneously. You can use parameters in the OPEN_FORM to control
whether the output is stored in the same print request. But also the SAP spool decides,
depending on several plausibility checks, whether new output is appended to an existing
print request or whether to create a new print request anyway.
CALL FUNCTION 'OPEN_FORM'
CALL FUNCTION 'CLOSE_FORM'
CALL FUNCTION 'OPEN_FORM'
CALL FUNCTION 'CLOSE_FORM'
You cannot combine ABAP/4 list output and SAPscript output in one print request.
START A LAYOUT SET AGAIN
Usually a print program does not print only one urging letter or one account statement, but
several layout sets for different customers. To have the output for each customer begin with
the start page of the layout set, you must start the current layout set again and again.
To start a layout set again, you must first end the current layout set and then open the
layout set again. Within one print request, first call the function module END_FORM. It
executes the final processing for the current layout set. Then start the layout set again
using START_FORM. Output then begins again on the start page of the desired layout set.
CALL FUNCTION 'OPEN_FORM'
CALL FUNCTION 'START_FORM'
CALL FUNCTION 'END_FORM'
CALL FUNCTION 'START_FORM'
CALL FUNCTION 'END_FORM'
CALL FUNCTION CLOSE_FORM
Hope your obstacle is cleared.
If not do ask me again?

What is the diff b/w Sap Scripts and Smart Forms

Hi,
Whats the diff b/w SAP Scripts and Smart Forms..
I need the internal explanation for both Smart Forms and SAP Scripts mean when we execute what happens whether Print Program r Forms starts execution 1st and SIMILARLY FOR SMARTFORMS WHETHER FM'S R FORMS.
Thanks & Regards,
Gopi.

Hi
Difference with SMARTFORMS vs. SapScript(SE71)
The Following are the differences :-
a) Multiple page formats are possible in smartforms which is not the case in SAPScripts
b) It is possible to have a smartform without a main window .
c) Labels cannot be created in smartforms.
d) Routines can be written in smartforms tool.
e) Smartforms generates a function module when activated.
f) Unlike sapscripts (RSTXSCRP), you cannot upload/download Smartform to your local harddisk.
It was said that it was provided in CRM 3.0 version, but not available in R/3. You can download smartforms into Local PC in a XML format. In the same way you can upload this XML format into Smartform. From the smartform editor itself you can call download option, if you are working in CRM 3.0 environment.
In R3 also, you can download into XML format. However, it's not sure about uploading. Refer to the program 'SF_XSF_DEMO'.
In 4.7 Enterprise, other have seen this utlity which is completey missing in 4.6c. There is functionality to downlaod a complete form or only a particular node. (Utilities -> Download form). It will create a XML file and save it in the hard disk.
For others, if you want to download/upload the Smartforms source, you will need the help from the Basis people. What you can do is to create a Transport and then FTP down to your local harddisk. When you need the Smartform source in another system, you have FTP up the Smartforms file back to the SAP server. Finally, the Basis team, will tp it into your system.
g) The protect and endprotect command in sapscript doesn't work with smartforms. For example on a invoice: First data of position no 80. is printed on page one, other data of position no 80 is printed on page 2. And there's nothing you can do about it. Actually, there is something you can do about it. By using a folder node and checking the 'protect' checkbox, everything in that folder will be page protected.

ADF table and ADF form on the same view object

Hi,
As per the ADF demos available on ADF site, I created a jsf page with 2 panels. One panel is an ADF table based on a view object. And the other panel is and ADF form based on the same view object. My requirement is that as I scroll through the records in the ADF table, the ADF Form should dynamically display the details of the record in the ADF table. My understanding is that this should be automatic. However, its not working as expected. What have I missed?

Hi,
Apply PPR for form that displays details.
Like :
<af:table id="t3">
</af:table>
<af:panelFormLayout id="pfl2" partialTriggers="t3">
</af:panelFormLayout >
