Anyone intersted in a free Forms 11g Administration course?

We are running a trial of a new Forms 11g course which covers Forms administration, install, set up, security etc etc. This is a pilot run of the course and as such is free to attendees. This is a great opportunity to get hands on with 11g and to feedback into the official Oracle University training.
Details:
Course DescriptionThis is a new 2-day course aimed at middle-tier adminstrators, consultants, and support staff who need to manage Oracle Forms Services as part of their operation. Participants learn how to deploy web-based Forms applications, apply security features, and configure and tune those applications on WebLogic Server. This is the pilot event for this course, so we are expecting active feedback from participants to help us fine-tune the course before it is given to Oracle University for regular scheduling. This is a practical course, and participants will engage in various hands-on labs over the 2 days of training.
Location: Oracle Education Center, 7604 Technology Way, Building 2, Denver, CO 80237. Location Information <http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.gettcpage?page_id=238&p_loc_code=OU-EC-DENVER1>

Please send an e-mail to [email protected] with your name, e-mail address, contact phone number, and organization. An e-mail will be sent to you with further information, and confirmation of whether a place is available for you. We have 12 places maximum.
Any other questions please post on this thread.
Thanks

Thank you so much for the link. Am persevering thru it, will get there eventually, as I had already tried to press the Report a Problem link on the invoice, but it won' t connect to iTunes store on my iPad, it keeps saying can't connect. Infuriating. But thank you, you found me a link I would have taken ages to find.

Oracle Database 11g Administrator or Oracle PL/SQL and Forms Developer?

Hi,
I am thinking about doing an Oracle certification course- Oracle Database 11g Administrator or Oracle PL/SQL and Forms Developer.
Oracle Database 11g OCP and OCM certification requires 3 mandatory training courses to be completed that costs between $1900 and $3250/each. Oracle PL/SQL certication doesn't require any mandatory training course.
Which one of these would be a good choice? Please advise.
Thank you,
Tracy

Regardless of which path you want to take, in order to get the OCP certification in either the DBA or PL/SQL developer track, you must first obtain the respective OCA certification for that track. I'm assuming that since you are still undecided in which path to take that you haven't started working on either yet. If you look at the pages for the OCA DBA and OCA PL/SQL Developer certs and what is required for each, you'll see that the first block of tests for either certification (the SQL based exams) has the same options (1Z0-007, 1Z0-047, 1Z0-051) and passing one of those SQL based exams gives credit towards obtaining both OCA certifications. That might be a good place to start.
Doing one of these tests first might give you some extra time to decide which track you want to pursue. But as Justin said, it really depends on what you do (or plan on doing) in your career as to which path might be more beneficial for you.
As for the OCM level stuff, I wouldn't even think about it until you get the OCP. One step at a time... Same with OCP before OCA. That being said, my suggestions are just that, suggestions. You're free to take any exams/courses in any order, but you won't be able to obtain the certs until you have completed the requirements for each.

UK-only: Would you like to speak about Forms 11g (and get a free lunch!)?

Hi. Firstly, sorry for posting a non-technical question to the Forms forum - this is not something I've done lightly, but I am struggling to find a Forms specialist.
We have a UK Oracle User Group middleware SIG event on 25th March, themed around "OFM 11g upgrade", and I am very keen to try to find someone to speak about their experiences with installing/running Forms 11g on Fusion Middleware 11g/WebLogic. I would prefer someone from outside of Oracle if possible, for agenda balance.
If you are UK-based, have some experiences of Forms 11g and would be willing to share them with a bunch of about 40-50 like-minded & friendly people please contact myself or [email protected]
Note: you don't need to be a UKOUG member and a complimentary lunch will be provided...

No I am not management, but a mere code monkey that does analysis work and work with oracle forms/reports, etc. It is a struggle to get management excited about Oracle when all they think of is 'oh no, another course, and money to upgrade the infrastructure'.
as Oracle should know by now as well as the special interest groups as with the hand raising of who is working with the latest version...not many.
i have gone to the UK OUG and gone back to work with great suggestions only to be blocked by management and investment in IT development.
perhaps this is where the SIGs should go...go with the current versions and its limitations and how by luck and brilliance that us 'code monkeys' have managed to pl/sql our way out of issues.
as the grant ronald (sp) sorry mate about name. i've seen you at various places and you see hands raising up, but what you don't see is those who are embarrassed not to put them up when you ask placently who is running on older versions..and to dwindle down to earlier versions...
perhaps you should put a SIG on those who are really working in the real work and have a specific oracle forms one. then there is where you will get your answer to your questions..and i'm sure you will hear time and time again what was posted on your post...
oh free lunch is always a good thing :)

Forms 11g release 2

Anyone know when Forms 11g release 2 will be released? Thanks,
Nathan

Hi Nathan,
Is there any improvement or bug fixes you're waiting for ?
I didn't test it enough (almost nothing....) to see bugs (except that you can't connect to an xe database. required is 10.2.0.4 or higher), but what I'm waiting for a R2 is a separate install for developer machine and servers.
for servers the actual install is quite hard to achieve on some OS ( I was lucky to succeed it the first time on XP), and this has to be improved.
but for developer machine I think we need a lightweight installation with small memory usage et something equivalent to the standalone oc4j for local testing, instead of a complete AS with weblogic administration and enterprise manager etc...

Getting error while using javascript in Forms 11g

Hi All
From OTN I have downloaded .zip file contains demo of Integrating Oracle Forms 11g with javascript.
I have gone through every step and intergrated the javascript with Forms 11g.
I am gettin an runtime error FRM-92190: JavaScript is unable to evaluate expression.
Can anyone help me in this please.
I placed every directory and file as mentioned in that demo.
I use Win XP SP3,
Forms [32 Bit] Version 11.1.1.4.0 (Production). patch set1.
Internet Explorer 8.
Thanks,
Maddy

Hi
Thanks for your response
I am just want to see how can a form looks using the javascript.
and I want to use javascript in our Forms application to enhance them.
If I can understand that demo it may be easy for me to implement the JS in our application.
That error says that some wrong expression passed to the web.javascript_eval_expr
js.html is placed here C:\Oracle\Middleware\asinst_1\config\FormsComponent\forms\server
Left out files and directories are placed here C:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\middleware_int\servers\WLS_FORMS\tmp\_WL_user\formsapp_11.1.1\e18uoi\war
updated my .cfg and .env file as required.
Is it problem with configuring the JS files and directory or Problem with javascript code????
Thanks,
maddy

RE: Calling a Web service from Oracle Forms 11g

I wonder if anyone could please help with the following
We have a requirement for a real time communication between Oracles Forms (11g) and SAP over the RR LAN network.
This would require the need to send info to and receive info from SAP as it will be an on-line validation of a Part from an Oracle FORM to SAP (response less than 1 second).
What would be the best and easiest way to code this an Oracle FORMS trigger.

Is this version (Oracle forms 11g, JRE 1.7.0_17) supported by OATS-OpenScript ?
Please advise if there is any work around here.
Thanks.

From the last OATS release notes available in the C:\OracleATS\docs directory:
4.1 Oracle Functional Testing/OpenScript
Oracle Functional Testing’s OpenScript scripting platform has the following system
requirements:
■ Operating System (32-bit and 64-bit versions): Windows XP, Windows Vista,
Windows 2003, Windows 7, Windows 2008, Windows 2008 R2.
■ Memory: Minimum 1 GB
■ System: x86, 32-bit or 64-bit processor, 2.6 GHz or faster
■ Disk Space: 4 GB minimum
■ Browser: Internet Explorer 7.x, 8.x., 9.x; Firefox 3.5/3.6, 6.x, 10; Chrome 27+
(playback only).
■ Java Runtime Environment: JRE 1.6 minimum (up to build 38), JRE 1.7 (up to build
11) .
So basically, it's not supported... Can you try with another JRE version?
As always don't forget to run OpenScript as administrator on W7/8 or equivalent

Install Forms 11g FM on Windows 2008 64 bit

Has anyone been able to install FM 11g (Forms etc) on Windows 2008 Server 64 bit.
Every time I attempt an install I get the OUI checking for swap space and monitor configuration. After that the OUI goes away and nothing else happens.
The entries in the installactions file is below.
Using paramFile: D:\Install\Disk1\install\win64\oraparam.ini
Checking swap space: must be greater than 500 MB. Actual 7154 MB Passed
Checking monitor: must be configured to display at least 256 colors. Actual 65536 Passed
The commandline for unzip:
D:\Install\Disk1\install\win64\unzip -qqqo ..\..\stage\Components\oracle.jdk\6.0.10.33.0\1\DataFiles/"*.jar" -d "C:\Users\S-OTG~1.MAT\AppData\Local\Temp\2\OraInstall2009-09-22_08-56-31AM"
I have installed the WLS using the 64 bit version of JRockit with no problems.

I reviewed your SR and wanted to clarify a few things. In the SR, you were not exactly told that installing (in general) was not supported on Win2008(x64). You were simply told that you could not use the 32bit download on a 64bit machine or install the Builders on x64. If you were told something else in a call I apologize as that information may have not been correct. Additionally, the SR is very confusing because you go from talking about Win2008 to XP to 2003 back to 2008 and so on. This is a very difficult way to troubleshoot. Dealing with one problem at a time will almost always result in the fastest resolution time. That said, here are the facts based on the platforms you mentioned in the SR.
1. Windows 2008 (64bit): This platform is intended for deployment (server). Although it may be possible to install the Forms/Reports Builders on this platform, Oracle is currently not supporting the Builders on any 64bit platform. Plans to support 64bit Operating Systems for Builders is still under review. So, for now, you must use the 64bit download to install on a 64bit platform. If you choose to attempt the installation of the Builders on this platform, you do it at your own risk.
2. Windows XP and Vista (32bit): These platforms are generally considered "client" platforms. These platforms are supported for using Builders. Technically they are not supported to be used as servers. Therefore, HTTP Server and Web Cache are not supported on these platforms. More details are explained in the Release Notes:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12839_01/relnotes.1111/e10132/intro.htm#sthref8
3. Windows 2003 (32bit): This platform can be used with both the deployment components and the design-time components. That said, being a 32bit platform, I would not recommend trying to run a prod system and attempt to develop on it as well. Certainly, doing application maintenance on this machine would be fine, but if you were running a prod environment here, I would not suggest running the Builders full time too. 4gig of RAM or more would definitely be needed. See the following:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/283037
Now, the actual problems you had/have:
Configuration failing when installing on Win2008 (64) - Looking at the SR, this appears to have been the result of trying to use the 32bit installation on the 64bit box. Upon initial release of the product, 64bit Windows distributions were not available. However, they are now and must be used on 64bit Windows 2008 and 2003 platforms. Refer to the OTN Download area.
Also seen in the error log was a connection issue. This is often caused as a result of several things, but the most common causes are WLS (node manager) is not running or the machine is under powered (usually lack of RAM). Regardless of what is documented, experience shows that a Windows machine will need to have at least 3.5 gig of RAM in order to support the installation process. This assumes that nothing else is running during the installation process unless it is absolutely needed. It seems that 4gig or more offers the most likely chance of a successfull installation on the first attempt.
Regarding the error which suggests that a given service already exists. This could likely happen if you attempted an installation, but it failed then you attempted to re-run the installation without first doing a thorough clean-up.
On the XP installation it appears that there was some memory issues. From the log: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError. As I mentioned, for the most likely chance of success, the machine should have at least 3.5 gig of RAM. If you are just installing the Builders you can have less, but if the config portion fails, you will probably see the connection failure seen in your other attempts. When/if this failure occurs, do not exit or do anything with the installer. Allow a minute or two (or more) for the new instance to completely start then select the Retry option. You will likely find that the configuration will complete successfully.
Also, important for any installation type.... When installing WLS, UNcheck the Launch Quick Start option that appears near the end of the WLS installation. Running this creates a default or demo instance. Unless you are planning to use this example instance, leaving it out can give back as much as 500 meg RAM in some cases. If you have already installed it and don't want to reinstall, stop whatever processes start as a result of that example instance.
SUMMARY
1. Be sure you are installing the correct software for your platform type. 64bit software for 64bit OS
2. On Windows, ensure that you have either installed the Loopback adapter or added your host name to the hosts file. Refer to Section 2.3:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12839_01/install.1111/e10421/install.htm#CHDEAAGD
3. Ensure that the machine has at least 3.5 gig RAM. For systems with less, expect to see failures during the configuration portion of the install. Use "Retry" to overcome this.
4. Builders are only supported on 32bit platforms at this time:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12839_01/relnotes.1111/e10132/intro.htm#sthref8
5. Ensure that WLS node manager is running before installing FMw
I don't think I missed anything, but just be sure to review the Installation Guide AND the Release Notes.

Filling of S table fails for fields with free form text or description

Hello Everyone,
We are trying to rollup a new InfoCube into our BWA system and it fails with a short dump CONVT_CODEPAGE with exception being CX_SY_CONVERSION_CODEPAGE when filling up S table for a description field.
The only difference between the new InfoCube we are trying to load and the other existing InfoCubes is that, the new InfoCube we are trying to load has a field/InfoObject which is free form description for a line item field.
Also, when I checked the application log the system gives out the message "A Character Set conversion is not possible".
Did anyone encounter this issue when trying to create BWA indexes for InfoCubes which have text columns in the InfoCube.
We are currently at revision 52.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Dharma,
It's an interesting and new BWA case for me, so sorry no direct answer. I'll try to replicate it in free time I hope you opened a message with SAP Support for this.
From pure BW modeling perspective I normally model this in a way that this "description" Characteristic A is marked as "Attribute-only" and then used as a display attribute of another Characteristic B, e.g. Line Item Number. From BWA perspective it means that A is not indexed into the accelerator and joined only for display during OLAP time.

Unsuccessful attempt to install FORMS 11g

Hello all,
OS: Windows Server 2008 R2 64 bit
DB: 11gR2
These are the steps I took in my attempt to install FORMS 11g:
1) Install JDK6U22 Windows 64 bit
2) Installs wls1033_generic.jar from http://download.oracle.com/otn/nt/middleware/11g/wls1033_generic.jar
3) Installs RCU from http://download.oracle.com/otn/nt/middleware/11g/ofm_rcu_win32_11.1.1.3.3_disk1_1of1.zip (this is the only place where issue arises. I chose everything except Oracle Adaptive Access Manager and Oracle Adaptive Access Manager (Partition Support) because our test environment is NOT Enterprise version). Another possible issue is the zip files - it's for 32 bit; but I can't find 64bit.
4) Installs Fusion Middleware (all 4 files downloaded) starting from http://download.oracle.com/otn/nt/middleware/11g/ofm_pfrd_win_11.1.1.2.0_64_disk1_1of1.zip
5) Patch with http://download.oracle.com/otn/nt/middleware/11g/ofm_pfrd_win_11.1.1.3.0_64_disk1_1of1.zip
6) Configure using Oracle Classic 11g - Home1, Configure Classic Instance (run as Administrator). Here I unchecked PORTAL and DISCOVERER because I just need FORMS and REPORTS.
7) New rule on firewall to allow port 9001.
Issue:
Move my existing 10g FMX to {directory}\MIDDLEWARE\AS_1\FORMS
http://myservername:9001/forms/frmservelet?form=xxx.fmx doesn't come up.
Move my existing 10g FMX to {directory}\MIDDLEWARE\ASINST_1\FORMSCOMPONENT\FORMS
http://myservername:9001/forms/frmservelet?form=xxx.fmx doesn't come up.
http://localhost:9001/console on the server doesn't return anything. But, Oracle Process Manager (asinst_1) service is started.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I started the weblogic from Middleware\user_projects\domains\ClassicDomain\startweblogic.cmd. Annoyingly, I cannot close the Command Prompt and not kill the weblogic console. But I am able to get to http://localhost:7001/console.
However, I cannot start WLS_FORMS and WLS_REPORTS from the console with the following error:
For server WLS_FORMS, the Node Manager associated with machine xxx is not reachable.
All of the servers selected are currently in a state which is incompatible with this operation or are not associated with a running Node Manager or you are not authorized to perform the action requested. No action will be performed.Came across this Forms 11g - Weblogic Server - Command prompts stay open? but did not say how WLS_FORMS got started. The only suggestion I see in that thread was a suggestion for the Command Prompt annoyance; which is, requiring a service account to keep the command prompt running on the service account logged in.
Another thread http://kr.forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=933484 seems to suggest just contact Oracle Support and let them set it up.
I did look at the manual http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/install.1111/e10421/install.htm#BABHJFIC without much help there.
Edit: Started WLS_FORMS by going to Oracle Classic Instance, Forms Services, Start Weblogic Server - WLS_FORMS. http://localhost:7001/console shows the state for WLS_FORMS as ADMIN. I don't know what that means; but I still can't get to http://localhost:9001/forms/frmservlet
Any other suggestions?

Using jfreechart with oracle forms 11g

Hi everybody,
I'm using jfreechart with oracle forms 11g to continue having graphs in my application since i'm migrating from forms 6i. I've already got it working and it's great. Just have one problem left. I don't know how to change the axis labels. In Bar charts, it comes with "Values" in y axis and "Category" in x axis by default. I wanted to change that or make it dissapear. Anyone knows how to?

I've never used the jFreeChart, but according to their website you can use the "setLabel" method to set the label for an axis. Check out Axis (JFreeChart Class Library) for more information.
