About Forms builder. what is a 'referenced item'?

COPY bulit-in exists for two reasons:
1.You cannot use standard PL/SQL syntax to set a referenced item* equal to a value.
2. .................
Anybody who can tell me what is referenced item？
It's better if you can give a easy-understanding example.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I think it means calculated item.

  • Form Builder - What is it and How to use it  ?

    Hi All .
    If you are familiar with Form Builder , please refer me any document or links . I have heard about form builder but i did not find any documents on it .
    i am using ECM 11g .

    RAS or Report Application Server offers services to modify report at runtime. To use it you need CR server or Enterprise level product. If you want to just view the report in an optimized way then you should rather use Page Server. To use Page server you again need Enterpriseserver level product and report in managed environment.
    JRC can cause performance bottleneck but there are several other factors that influence report performance such as DB type, how complex ig the report is, how is grouping performed at server side or at Crystal etc. Also, if report takes longer to run the Designer it would take at least that much time to run in JRC application.
    Look at the following link for Developer DocumentationAPI specification for RAS and Enterprise if you want to explore RAS option further.

  • Xml forms builder- What exactly do I have to do in RenderListItem?

    Hello Experts,
    I have designed the form with Lables, Text Areas and Teat Fields as per our requirement in the Edit form of XML Forms Builder. And, now can you please let me know what has to be done in RenderListItem and what's the purpose ?
    I have been reading a few docs which says that the Layout has to be designed in RenderListItem form. I'm sorry, but no document has clearly explained me how to do that
    Could anybody be kind enough to explain that in detail.
    Thanks a million in advnace.

    Hi,
    When you want to display the the articles that are published by using your xml form in a KM Navigation iview.
    We will display only the subject, author and some intiial news to the end user in KM Navigation iview. This can be done through Renderlist item which you need to mention in your collection renderer of your layoutset.
    The entire content will be displayed only after clicking the artccle.

  • Oracle Forms Builder Customization

    Hi all,
    I am beginning a software integration project and would really appreciate it if you could give me some guidance. Is it possible to customize the Forms Builder IDE and create menu items or buttons with scripts behind them to support something like automated storage and build functions that are linked to Subversion? Alternatively, is anyone aware of a third-party plug-in or application for Forms Builder that will support this? Thanks in advance.
    -S

    Because you have not offered details about which product versions, platforms, or hardware you are using, I can only offer some generic information. However, for the most part, the same concept will apply to all versions and platforms.
    It sounds like what you are looking to do is fairly simple and there may not be a need for using something as complex as the Forms API. Correct me if I am wrong but this is what I understand... you want to:
    1. Generate multiple executable files (FMX, MMX, PLX) from source files (FMB, MMB, PLL)
    2. Copy or relocate the latest source files
    3. Copy or relocate the latest executable files to a production environment
    All of the above can be fairly easy to accomplish with simple scripts. For example batch files on Windows (shell scripts on Unix).
    Generate executable files*
    See My Oracle Support Article 955143.1 for some example code of how to compile with a script.
    Copy or relocate the latest source files*
    Examples of how to determine the newer of two files can be found all over the Internet, but I foudn the following to be quite clear (these are Windows batch examples):
    http://forums.techguy.org/dos-pda-other/835496-solved-how-compare-2-file.html
    This information along with the copy or xcopy command (Windows) can be used to move the latest files to a new location.
    Copy or relocate the latest executable*
    The same as above can be used for these files, however if the production server is a remote machine and not the same machine, some permissions handling may be necessary.
    This search will expose information about copying across network share (mapped drives)

  • Forms Builder default font?

    Is there anyway to set the default font that Forms Builder uses when creating text items?
    Normally when I start developing a new form Forms Builder defaults the font to Microsoft Sans Serif 8, but for some reason everytime I open Forms Builder now I get a font of Tahoma 8 and I'd like to change it to something else.

    Java fonts are different and limited, so even you set your fonts different on windows, at runtime you will be limited to the java supported fonts. I usually set it to helvetica and it seems pretty close to what I see at runtime. But , we are developing and deploying on Linux, so it may be different on windows.

  • Hierarchical Tree Items question, in Oracle9i forms builder ^^;

    Hi,I'm kind of new to using the Hierachical Tree item in Oracle9i Forms builder. so anyway,in the book it was explaining how it's done clearly,but, what I want to do using that item is kind of different;
    in the book it has the way of making it like a navigator for the items/fields/tables in the database,either by creating a view for those fields by using Select Statements or using the whole table itself.
    however,what I'm trying to do is to have that tree list the names of Forms I have already created and probably the list of Reports I got,so it would sort of like a Menu and I could add a trigger to open the form/report once an item in the tree is double clicked on
    here's an example of what I'm talking about :
    http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y264/_Crzy_Chck_/Htree.jpg
    sorry the screen shot isn't the best ^^;
    that's from a company my friend works at,they have that tree as a menu for their forms and reports,once u double click on a form name or a report,it opens up ^^;
    I tried google/yahoo,I got the same info I found on the book.

    Or you may want to check out this code:

  • Question about Find and Replace PL/SQL option in Forms Builder

    Dear All
    I have a small question .
    I am using Find and Replace PLSQ/SQL in forms Builder ( Edit - Find and Replace PLSQL) to search any code in a form.
    Let say I am searching for EMP .
    Then all the places is coming where EMP is used as well as EMPloyee , EMPloyee_Desc tables also coming .
    So is there any way to serach only the EMP part .

    If you look closely to the right of the "Find What" field, you should see a button - "Expression". This allows you to add some logic to your search. Alternatively, depending on how you code, you could just look for spaces. For example, if you are looking for EMP and not EMPLOYEE, search for EMP with a blank space before and after it (assuming you code this way) or use something like this \bEMP\b This would work for me because I code the same way I write sentences - each work is separated by spaces.
    <blockquote> EMPLOYEE := EMP || ' - ID';</blockquote>
    In this example, seaching for EMP with a blank space after would find what I wanted. However, if you only search for a trailing blank, you may end up also finding words like tEMP. This is where have a blank space before each word is helpful.
    Other, more valuable expressions could be written to accomplish your task. Refer to the Forms Builder Online help for more information about using Expressions in the Find and Replace search window.

  • What would you recommend me to do in Oracle Form Builder as a beginnner?

    I am a beginner in Oracle Form Builder and can anyone recommend a list of tasks/assignments I could try as I barely any projects at work currently ?
    I have been able to query items in a database(table) by creating a control/dummy block. What list of tasks would you suggest me to do next ? Any complex type of forms I could try ?
    Thanks.

    If you have created a dummy/control block, I would recommend that you create a new block based on a database table. Use the block wizard.
    Then a further block based on a table that is a "child" or "detail" table for the one you just created. use the block wizard.
    Then create a list of values (using the LOV Wizard) to populate one or more of the fields in your block - preferably using a SQL statement to get the contents of the LOV.
    You could then try creating a calculated item to add up values in one of your blocks.
    Then try creating a "when validate item" trigger on one of your items to try to enforce some validation rules. Display any error messages using an Alerti (don't bother with the "message" function in Forms - it's rubbish).
    That should be enough to be going on with.
    Good luck.

  • What am I missing with Form builder ?

    Hi everyone,
    I am new to Form builder and to developing web applications. I am trying to use Form Builder to create a form that will read records from my Ora DB. Just for testing the tool. I get to run the form and see it on my browser but no record is shown unless I execute a query (which should be all records in the column). Even then I need to use the next and previous arrow (in top of the form)in order to see the records. My item is a column name from the DB and is represented as a Combo Box which I want it to give me all records when I click the combo box down-arrow.
    What am I missing? Do I need to create a select query somewhere on the item?
    Thanks for any suggestions,
    cip

    Maybe you should familiarise yourself with how Forms works before leaping in to the complicated stuff. Build a module with one tabular base table block using the Data Block Wizard and the Layout Wizard. Give it a WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE trigger that does
    execute_query;When you've got that working, change the trigger to
    enter_query;Now your Form starts in QUERY mode and you can use Query By Example to selectively retrieve data.

  • What is forms builder version for R12  ? prob. for 6i forms  ?

    hi..guys..
    Currently we have oracle apps..11.5.10-----> forms version 6i
    Now, we are upgrading apps to R12...so all the custom forms which are in 6i needs to be migrated to forms 10g so they can be compatible with oracle EBS release 12.
    So, I am opening forms which were created using 6i in form builder 10g. Then getting connected with the database created for R12...so it takes R12 library references...so at this time forms builder 10g is crashing......
    I am using FORMS 32 BIT VERSION 9.0.4.0.19 (PRODUCTION)..Oracle Developer Suite 10g...to modify and compile 6i forms...so I can put them on R12 instance...
    Problem is everytime I try to compile 6i form after opening it in 10g forms builder, it crashes ....so what is the best way to compile 6i forms to make them compatible with R12 ....?
    thanks...

    Does this happen to all forms or certain ones only?
    You need to open the forms in Form Builder 10g (Oracle Developer Suite 10g (10.1.2.0.2)), compile it, save it then upload it back to the server.

  • My form builder create the fmx but its not populating. what is the reason?

    Hi,
    if i execute the form builder it wil create the fmx file but its not populating. if i want to use i have to run the fmx file..
    can any body help the reason why it's not populating?
    and one more proble is my form call the report but it's running. yester day it was work well. but today its not working. i didn't change any thing in that today.

    Your question is quite unclear. Also, I think you should review this:
    http://blogs.oracle.com/shay/entry/10_commandments_for_the_otn_fo
    In the future, please be sure to include the complete product version and platform you are using. By version, I mean the numbers and not the name. For example, 10g is not a product version - it is a name.
    You said,
    ...if i execute the form builder it wil create the fmx file but its not populating. if i want to use i have to run the fmx file... What do you mean it doesn't populate+ ? Then you say, "... I have to run the fmx...". The fmx is the file you need to run. You cannot run the fmb as this is the source code file.
