    Sign jacob.jar ( Not mandatory )
       Open a DOS command prompt.
       Add [OraHome]\jdk\bin to the PATH:
          set PATH=[OraHome]\jdk\bin;%PATH%
       Sign the file, and check the output for success:

    Start Forms Builder and connect to a schema in the RDBMS used in step (4).
       Open webutil.pll, do a "Compile ALL" (shift-Control-K), and generate to PLX (Control-T).
       If the PLX is not generated, the Webutil.pll library would have to be attached with
       full path information to all forms wishing to use WebUtil. This is NOT recommended.
    Create a new FMB.
           Open webutil.olb, and Subclass (not Copy) the Webutil object to the form.
            There is no need to Subclass the WebutilConfig object.
            Attach the Webutil.pll Library, and remove the path.
             Create a new button on a new canvas, with the code
                   show_webutil_information (TRUE);
       in a WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger.
            Compile the FMB to FMX, after doing a Compile-All (Shift-Control-K).
       Under Edit->Preferences->Runtime in Forms Builder, click on "Reset to Default" if
                the "Application Server URL" is empty.
       Then append "?config=webutil" at the end, so you end up with a URL of the form
         http://server:port/forms/frmservlet?config=webutil
    Compile the webutil.pll and attach it to the fmb. Compile it

    Cause
    Ported webutil to Unix . The form appears , but when a call is made to webutil
    functions, it resulted in the above error .The reason was PLL was not compiled
    on unix .
    Reference
    Metalink Note 418970.1 ORA-06508 When Starting Webutil
    Read / Write - image file
    The code was not erroring out, but the image was not getting copied in the
    image item .
    Cause
    transfer.appsrv.workAreaRoot=<name of the temp directory >
    transfer.appsrv.accessControl=TRUE was not specified in the webutil.cfg file
    The root of the location in which WebUtil can store temporary files
    uploaded from the client.
    While Writing Image file ( remember its the client to which the image
    is written to ).
    Example
    client_image.write_image_file('d:\myimg\','GIF','CTRL.MY_IMG',
    maximize_compression,     original_depth);
    Then ensure that on the thin client , there exist a directory  called as "myimg" in the D drive .
    One should watch out for the error in the console or the log depending on how
    the logging has been set to .In case if the directory does not exist on the
    client message appears that cannot create a file ...
    These are the steps that occurs -
    1) WebUtil creates a working directory that is private to the user
      on the applciation server using the value of transfer.appsrv.workAreaRoot
      This is that <ipaddress>\<ntuser name> directory
    2) The basic forms Write Image file is used to extract a temporary copy
       of the image into that  directory.
    3) The image is downloaded into the client machine and saved as the name
       that you specified as the filename in the write_image_file command.
    4) The temporary copy of the image held in the workAreaRoot on the Appserver
       is cleaned up.
    4) Client_host - The  command is supposed to run the executable on the client .
       But if you are trying to call an exe which is not in the path , you will not
       get any error.

    Add jacob.jar and frmwebutil.jar  to CLASSPATH or FORMS_BUILDER_CLASSPATH ... otherwise there is an error message when opening the canvas in the new created fmb

    Hi everyone,
    I have created a few programs with Forms Developer Suite 10g, but I don't know how to make the users run the application so they can start using the programs. Can anyone please help me on this?
    I have always use Forms 6i which is completely different, but I don't know how to make this version work.

    I have always use Forms 6i which is completely different, but I don't know how to make this version work. Oracle Forms 6i was the last version of Forms to run in Client/Server mode. Forms 9i and newer are "Web" only, meaning, you must have a web server configured to serve your Forms web application to client computers. Your web server must have Oracle Application Server 10g installed and configured correctly for your Forms application.
    I recommend you take a look at the <a href ="http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B14099_11/index.htm">Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 Documentation Library</a>. Start with the Server Concepts document.
    Hope this helps,

    I'm new to Oracle and I'm taking an SQL college level course using a text book entitled "Guide to Oracle 10g". Our text book came with Oracle Developer Suite 10g (9.0.4.0.1) but no database. We adopted the 10g Express Edition (XE) as the database. I have both the database and the Developer Suite loaded on Windows XP Pro. I've been using the database for months now and it runs fine and the Developer Suite installed OK.
    However, I would like to use some of the Developer Suite apps (for learning purposes) with the database but I can't seem to log on to the database through the Developer apps when I open them and use my 10g XE database user-name and password. For starters, I would like to see if I could use the edition of SQLPlus (release 9.0.1.4.0) that comes with the Developer Suite because it has configuration options that are not available in the SQLPlus command line version that 10g XE contains (which otherwise works fine).
    When I open SQLPlus (Developer Suite Version) and try to log on with my database user name and password (and no host string), I get the error:
    ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
    I did search the discussion forum first and also reviewed some Oracle pdf's including the concepts pdf but came up empty. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions on how to succeed or a determination of the compatibility of 10g XE with the Developer Suite. Thanks kindly.

    I think your last idea might be helpful at this point and in case it matters, they are both installed on a sinlge machine (laptop). Thanks in advance:
    Here is the Developer Suite tnsnames.ora:
    # TNSNAMES.ORA Network Configuration File: C:\DevSuiteHome\network\admin\tnsnames.ora
    # Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
    EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = HOSTNAME)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SID = PLSExtProc)
    Here is the 10G XE tnsnames.ora:
    XE =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = obw)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SERVER = DEDICATED)
    (SERVICE_NAME = XE)
    EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =

  • Handling Mulitple apllications with Developer Suite 10g

    Hi all,
    I've a doubt regarding the Post installation of Developer Suite 10g. For example, if i've a client who has two applications; and these two applications are similar to some extent.
    So, In this scenario, i am clue less regarding the set up. i.e.., Both applications can be run simultaneously, by different users. Can some one guide me. Currently, in Forms 6i, we've mapped
    a drive for it and the client changes the mapping whenever, he wants to use another application. But in Forms 10g, I've heard that this can be done using configuratiion files. can u explain me
    a little bit.

    Hello,
    With Web version, you can add named sections in the /forms/server/formsweb.cfg file, then call one of this section in the calling URL.

  • Integrate Forms and Reports for Developer Suite 10g

    Hi all,
    One of my client is moving to Developer Suite 10g R2. Currently he is using Version 6i. I've converted the forms into 10g. Only one problem being faced by me is Reports. Our form which used
    to call the reports was using Run_Product. Now, I've changed the functionality to Run_Report_Object. The problem is i need to create a report node in the form for every report. I've 200 reports. If there is any
    way, where i can add the report node in the form module dynamically, this will reduce my work to a greater extent.
    Regards,
    Alok Dubey

    hello,
    It is quite easy to add a report node using the JDAPI.
    1) Put all the forms in a directory.
    2) Find the JDAPI example in the online help.
    3) Modify it in order to have the functionality: add report item
    4) IF you are certain there are no report nodes already attached, you don't need to loop through your form module in order to check for existing report nodes.
    If you are not tempted to write your own routine, you can use francois degrelle'S own JDAPI batch process.

  • Are BI Beans already installed with Developer Suite 10g R2?

    I wish to use BI Beans in Forms Builder 10g R2. Do I have to download the BI Beans separately or it has already been included when I install Developer Suite 10g R2? Thanks.

    If you are planning to use Forms against a relational data source then you will only be able to use the BI Graph bean as part of your development. The graph bean is automatically shipped with JDeveloper and there is no need to install BI Beans.
    There are lots of examples of how to use the graph bean with relational data sources and these can be found on the following sites:
    OTN Reports Home Page - Links to the FAQ on graphing
    BI Blog - posting on how to use the graph bean
    BI10gR2 samples - contains a JSP example of how to use the graph bean with a relational and XML data source.
    Forms does not support multi-dimensional data sources so there is no way to use the other BI Beans components such as query builder, calculation builder, crosstab beans unless you are using a multi-dimensional data source which requires use of Oracle OLAP (preferably 10gR2).
    What do you want to build with BI Beans?

  • How can i attach a file in Form 10g

    Hi all
    I have searched in otn about attaching a file in forms but no proper solution i got.
    Actually I want to attach a file in Forms 10G . How can I do that anyone can help me??
    Thanks

    Which one of the various solutions did you try, and what error did you get?
    http://www.google.com/search?q=send+email+attachment+oracle
    Note that when sending mails from the database the email attachment file needs to reside on the filesystem of the database (or any location the database server has access to).
    Did you configure your mailserver properly? Or do you want to send a E-Mail via a Mailprogram from the client? And last but not least: what database version on which platform do you use? Questions over questions...
    cheers

  • Installation of Developer Suite 10g in Linux

    Hi,
    I've done the configuration of Developer Suite 10g on Windows OS. But i want to know how can i configure the Developer Suite 10g in Linux platform.
    Any link for this would help me a lot.
    I have done some configuration, but i'm facing some problems with it. Like i've compiled the form in windows version, but when i try to compile the form in
    linux, i'm facing the problems. In the form there are some libraries attached to it. When compiled in Windows, it got compiled successfully, but when i compile it
    in Linux, it is unable to find the procedures and function in the libraries. To come out of this situation, i've placed all the libraries and the forms in a single folder. still
    the problem exists. It is giving an error saying that the Invalid identifier, whereever i've mentioned the procedures/functions of libraries. Even in windows, i've all
    the forms and libraries in the same folder.
    Regards,
    Alok Dubey

    First of all which Linux....????I am successful in installing it. It is Redhat Linux 5.0 Enterprise edition. But i'm facing the problem in configuring it.
    I checked out from Oracle web site, this linux version supports the Developer Suite 10g. If u can send me any document
    or any link which u felt that it is very useful, then Please let me know.
    Have you checked if it is registered with DevSuite10g...???How to check this ..
    "I have done some configuration.."
    Which....????
    I've set the forms path so that i can run the forms using the url in the browser. But i feel that my configuration is incomplete. As i've mentioned already that when my form is
    compiled in the windows, it is getting compiled. But when i compile in linux, it is showing the error like Invalid Identifier. Here the Identifier name it is dispalying is the name of function(Which
    is in the attached library).

  • Installing Developer Suite 10g R2 on Windows Vista failed !!

    It seems Oracle has a new challenge of producing a new edition of Developer Suite that will install on Windows newest falvour, Vista. I installed Oracle db 11g on my Vista O.S. and everything runs normally. But my Developer Suite 10g R2 failed to launch setup.exe, giving me the following error:

    Any idea to solve the problem? Or it's all that I have to wait Oracle for an 11g Developer Suite version that is supported by Vista??!
    Thanks!

    Either your tnsnames.ora file that Forms is using is not set up properly to connect to your database, or else you need to install the Microsoft Loopback Adapter.
    I have set up laptops with a Loopback Adapter, so Forms will connect regardless of the Windows computer name. If the computer name is included in the tnsnames entry for your on-board database, then you probably don't need it.
    When you installed the 11g database, the installation set up a tnsnames.ora file with an entry for that database. First, try copying the entry into the corresponding tnsnames.ora file used by Forms.
    In my system, I have four distinct tnsnames.ora files, each one is a duplicate of the others. Whenever I need to change an entry, I do it in one of them, then do a Save As three times to replace the other three. I use these comment lines at the top of the file to help me:
    #--  For reference, save as: C:\oracle\tnsnames___ref.ora
    #--  For Forms6i,   save as: C:\oracle\orant\NET80\admin\tnsnames.ora
    #--  For Forms10,   save as: C:\oracle\DevSuiteHome_1\network\admin\tnsnames.ora
    #--  For SQL Plus10,save as: C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\network\admin\tnsnames.oraWithin the laptop running withOUT the loopback adapter, this is the entry for the on-board Oracle 10 database:
    #--  Laptop           Could use:  (HOST = Steve-PC) / 127.0.0.1
    ORCL =          (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)
                                      (HOST = 127.0.0.1)
                                      (PORT = 1521))
      (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVER = DEDICATED)
                              (SERVICE_NAME = orcl)  )  )Note the replacement of the HOST entry from the Windows computer name with the generic IP address for the local platform.
