Attaching object group to form

Could you tell me how can we attach object group to a Form other than drag & drop from the other Form which contain object group.
Forms version: Oracle 10.1.2
any help will be appreciated.
Thanks & Regards
Satya

no chance. You need a mouse to drag and drop the original object to your new form.

Using Object Group.

I am using the forms 6i. And i have a problem with attach Object Group.
After attach, the form do not execute.
I have a question: What the values the Object Group utility on the registry?
Or if another sugestion...
Thanks, so much.
Martônio.

1. Did you copy the object group to the new module or subclassed it?
R- Subclass.
2. Did you compile your form module after doing copy/subclass of the object group?
R- Yes.
3. Did you get any compilation error/warning?
R-No. Because the form close before display.
4. Is the base object group is from a form or a object library?
R-Object Library.
5. Is the base form / object library in which the object group exists is there in the FORMS60_PATH?
R-Yes.
Thanks. So much....

Added webutil object group with JDAPI - adjust the webutil block sequence ?

Hi all,
I'm using the JDAPI to subclass in the webutil object group into Forms in an application. Annoyingly, the webutil block becomes the first block on the Form - which means on some Forms it displays on startup. Is there anyway (programmatically using JDAPI) that I can move the block the end of the block list after I've subclassed in the object group ?
TIA
Steve

Hello,
move
void move(JdapiObject nextObject)
Reorders an object with respect to its siblings in the collection it belongs to. This is similar to using drag and drop in Form Builder to move a block in a list. This method represents a way to do the same thing programmatically. For example, if you want a block appear immediately before Block5 in a list, you pass the object representing Block5 as the nextObject argument.
Pass null to this method to move the object to the end of the list. If the specified object and the next_object do not share the same owner, or do not have the same type, the method throws an exception.
You cannot use this method to move objects between parents. For example, it cannot be used to move an Item from one Block to another. If you want to move an object from one parent to another you will have to do something like:
// to move 'itmA' to be positioned before 'itmB' in block
// 'blkB' (when 'itmA' is in another block)
// copy itmA into a new parent (blkB) using same name
Item newItmA = itmA.clone(blkB, itmA.getName());
newItmA.move(itmB); // move new item relative to itmB
itmA.destroy(); // delete original object
itmA = newItmA;
Parameters:
nextObject - the object next to which the specified object is to be moved.
Throws:
JdapiException - if you attempt to move an object next to an object that does not share the same owner or is not of the same type.

Problem subclassing an object group from an object library

Hi
I've created an object group using Forms 6i (can't tell you the exact version just now) containing a number of objects, including a couple of alerts, a couple of data blocks, canvas, window, program units etc. I've saved the object group into an object library and used it successfully for some time. Now I've gone to a new job, I suspect that I'm using a subtly different version of Forms 6i (6.0.8.16.1), but I'm finding a strange behaviour when I try to add the object group to a form.
Dragging the object group over, I get the 'Do you want to copy or subclass the object?' message. If I select 'Copy', everything gets copied across fine - the datablocks have all the items in them and the program units are fine. However, if I select 'Subclass', the items all appear in the object navigator, but are 'empty', so the data blocks contain no items and the program units are just 'begin' and 'end' statements with nothing in between.
Funnily enough, if I 'copy' the object group into a form (so everything's present), then create another copy of the object group in the current version of Form Builder and save it in a (new) object library, the behaviour is still the same.
Has anyone come across this situation before (I couldn't find anything exactly comparable on Metalink), and what workaround (if any) did you find?
regards
Andrew

Hi again
The answer to this strange behaviour became apparent when I found bug 2772326 on Metalink.
Basically, either the OLB has to be on the FORMS60_PATH, or the option in Forms Builder under Tools->Preferences->Access->Subclassing Path has to be set to 'Keep' rather than 'Remove'. Doing either of these things solves the problem.

Andrew

Attaching the WebUtil object group to a form

Hi. I'm hoping for some help on how to attach the WebUtil object group to a form. I go to the Object Groups node in the object navigator and click the '+' button, but I'm not prompted to attach .olb files. How do I do this? Without it attached I'm receiving the message "The WebUtil object group is not available in this form. WebUtil cannot work." when I run my application. Thanks in advance.

Okay I opened the .obl and it appears under the Object Libraries Node. Then I double-click on the Object Groups node in my form and it simply creates a new object named OBJECT_GROUP100. I can't seem to drag and drop from the Libraries Node to the Object Groups node in my form. It just shows a circle with a line through it indicating that I can't drag it. Any suggestions? (Sorry, I've not done this before).

Breaking Subclass/Removing Object Group/Without loss of code for child form

Hi all..
This is regarding Forms 10g (breaking inheritance)
I have a base form as well as client form.
The child form is having some properties as common to the base form. so child form is having sub class(inheritance) from the base class with the help of Object Group. This is the exiting setup
Now, client wants the same information as child form with out link with base form.
i.e., they want to remove the Object Group with out distrubing the child form.
Finally, they want the child form as independant from base form. i.e., child form should not have inheritance from the base form and at the same time they don't want to loss of any code to the child form.
There are 1000's of forms like that are need to re-work.
Is there any tool/script available to do this process of work automatically.
Please provide the necessary deatils and help me regarding this.
Regards
Madhava

You CAN add new items to the subclassed block or change triggers code or even add new triggers. Form Builder won't let you create items in-between existing subclassed items or triggers. So if you need to create a new item, create at the end of subclassed item or trigger...
You can not DELETE items of subclassed block or the block itself if it is subclassed. But you can remove the subclassed object from your child module --- by removing class info from the object group in child module --- but it will also remove all the subclassed child objects.
If you delete or change anything in master object, it will directly affect the subclassed object and you can see the change immediatly in the child modules.
When you drag the master object to child, it asks you if you need to subclass or copy, selecting copy will create a separate copy which you can play with in the child module.
And below is brief help on the matter:
If you don't want all the objects in the subclassed object group, then you might consider either subclassing the desired objects individually, or creating an object group which contains only the desired objects.

Attach a form objects to another form

Hi, excuse me if my question is evident for you, i am a little new with oracle form,
i want to know if it is possible to attach a form objects to another form and how to do that. Thanks for your help.
Edited by: Tabit7 on Apr 1, 2011 11:37 AM

You cannot attatch a whole form (.fmb) to you form but you can subclass blocks canvas for example.
open your form A and B
in your reference form A select the block you want to have in form B (subclassed) and select and drag it to B.
You will have a popup saying "do you want to copy the object ir subclass it ?" choose sublass and you are ready...
Do the same with canvas.
but PAY ATTENTION !!!! this method seems very useful if you have let say a identical master block for different forms.
but you have to handle it with precautions as every changes made in form A will be reflected to all your sub-classed forms B, B1, B2 .... and could cause you designs problems
if for example you master form A width change to something larger than one of you B forms.
Hope this helps

SOLVED: Oracle Forms Object Groups

Hi,
I have an object group on one main form. this object group has dozens of object group children. I've copied and subclassed the object group to my dependent forms.
Now i add a object (a parameter for instance) to the main form object group... but the dependent forms object group does not add the new object and i have to subclass it manually... what's wrong?
solved sorry!

Forms 5 - 6i migration & object groups

Hello,
Just as test I wanted to see if I can open a form in Developer 6i which had been written
under Forms 5. When I tried to open the fmb in 6i, I got some error messages like
"FRM-18101
source module:refapp
source object: objgrp_xyz"
The form itself contains some class information about visual attributes. But AFAIK
there aer no *.olb used before 6i.
I did read the manual, but I have no idea about the "information navigator" that could not be started.
I appreciate any comments and tips.
Thank You in advance, Jan

Thank You, Duncan.
Now I made some progress, but I still did not reach the goal yet...
The error said that refapp.fmx was referenced as a template form.
for all the other forms.
Now I recompiled the refapp.fmb - took some time to find it...
Refapp.fmb itself had a PL/SQL library attached, I recompiled it first (which
was causing some conversions in the code: some RETURNs were missing), reattached it
to refapp.fmb and then recompiled refapp without any problems. refapp now can be run
fine under Forms 6i.
But still when I try to open another form that references refapp, I still get the same
masseges:
"FRM-18101
source module:refapp
source object: objgrp_xyz"
What is missing ? I recompiled refapp.fmb, and it is in the same directory
as the other forms I want to migrate, too.
I guess that I came closed to the goal, but after doing some RTFMing,
I still could not find out, what is still wrong.
Thank You in advance,
Jan Gelbrich

Attaching and object to a form

Hello All;
Is it possible to attach an object to a form? What I would like to do is attach a MS Excel spreadsheet (to be completed) to a form

Attaching files to a PDF can be accomplished in two ways, traditionally:
1) Using Acrobat as a client.
2) Adding a file attachment right to the PDF with LiveCycle Reader Extensions ES for Reader clients.
A PDF Portfolio provides nice features for assembling various content types into a PDF as well. See the attached example.
Your workflow requirements, the availability of LiveCycle Reader Extensions ES, and client base (Reader versus Acrobat) will determine what is possible for you.

Object Group Vs Object Libraries

Hi ,
I have not used Object Groups and Object Libraries extensively....and am trying to understand them
Having read the form builder help ,I am still not clear with the following.
My questions are as follows
1)When should I be giving preference to Object Group over OBL?
2)Why will i use an Object Group ,when an object group's object is just a pointer to the
object in the form module?
Grouping of similar objects for one single form module only,does'nt provide me much benefits?
3)How will I reference an Object group's object and not a form's object which I have
moved into the object group and vice versa?
4)OBL module has a data block(say emp) as one of its many object,
how can I use this data block in my new forms module(will I be copying this data block
object from the attached OBL to the data block node of the form module in OBJECT navigator?).
will i have to create a Layout manually if I use the data block of OBL or will forms
builder automatically create a layout for this OBL data block.?
5)What are the types of objects which CANNOT be included in OBL and Object groups?
I am aware that I can't include an item of a data block if i don't include the data block itself.

My questions are as follows
1)When should I be giving preference to Object Group over OBL?Depends on the requirement. The objects in the Object group are limited to the current form module. However, Object libraries can be used across the forms. Of course, you can subclass this object group in other modules.
>
2)Why will i use an Object Group ,when an object group's object is just a pointer to the
object in the form module?Its like a template. You define set of properties (say width, height and font for a text item), and then subclass the object to all the object you create in your form. So, they all will look similar. Also, once after creating the object group, you can add the object group to the object library. This can be very useful.
Grouping of similar objects for one single form module only,does'nt provide me much benefits?
So, here we use Object Library
3)How will I reference an Object group's object and not a form's object which I have
moved into the object group and vice versa?
You cannot reference the individual objects in the object groups.
4)OBL module has a data block(say emp) as one of its many object,
how can I use this data block in my new forms module(will I be copying this data block
object from the attached OBL to the data block node of the form module in OBJECT navigator?).
will i have to create a Layout manually if I use the data block of OBL or will forms
builder automatically create a layout for this OBL data block.?You can add all the Blocks, canvaces, etc to the Object grou, add the object group to the object library. Then, if you just copy/subclass the object group from the Object library, all the blocks, items, canvaces would be created automatically in the target form.
>
5)What are the types of objects which CANNOT be included in OBL and Object groups?
I am aware that I can't include an item of a data block if i don't include the data block itself.
Only the Parent objects can be included in the Object Group (Child objects cannot). However, in the Object Library, you can add the parent as well as child objects. Here, for ex, parent is a data block and child are the items inside the data block

Object-group with network-object containing an IP address range

Hello,
Does the ASA treat an object-group with a network-object containing a range of IP addresses as a netmask? For example, I can apply this configuration without the ASA throwing any errors though the configuration calls for a 'net mask':
object-group network test
network-object 192.168.0.0 192.168.63.255
network-object-group mode commands/options:
A.B.C.D Enter an IPv4 network mask
sh run ob id test
object-group network test
network-object 192.168.0.0 192.168.63.255
I found that in the documentation it requires a netmask as oppose to a range. Is this a bug in the code? I am running code version 8.0(5)23 on a 5520. If this is not a bug how does the ASA treat this type of configuration when applied to an access list? When I ran a quick packet trace and denied access from that range it looks like the ASA doesn't read that configuration properly. Thank you.
-John

Hello,
Thank you for your replies. In code version 8.0(5)23, it appears I am able to define a "range" of IP addresses as in:
192.168.0.0 192.168.63.255 as opposed to defining a range with a netmask like 192.168.0.0 255.255.192.0.
With the "range" of IP address applied to the "object-group network test" with sub command "network-object 192.168.0.0 192.168.63.255" the ASA does not pick up on said "range" when this object group is applied to a DENY access list. It only reads it properly when the netmask is attached, which is the correct configuration, as in: "network-object 192.168.0.0 255.255.192.0".
To clarify, I mean range as in 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.63.255.
Hope this helps to understand. I am just curious as to why this is even able to be applied in such a way or if it is a bug in this particular code version? I can also confirm that this can be done in code version 8.4(2). See below snippets of my configuration in the 8.4(2) code version:
access-list 101 line 3 extended deny ip object-group testmask any 0x577f55a8
access-list 101 line 3 extended deny ip 192.168.0.0 192.168.63.255 any (hitcnt=0) 0x0623b0c4
access-list 101 line 4 extended permit tcp any any eq 89 (hitcnt=1) 0x36f1e5cd
Packet trace results in allowing the "range" of IP address:
Result:
input-interface: outside
input-status: up
input-line-status: up
output-interface: dmztest
output-status: up
output-line-status: up
Action: allow
Now with the "correct" configuration:
access-list 101 line 3 extended deny ip object-group testmask any 0x577f55a8
access-list 101 line 3 extended deny ip 192.168.0.0 255.255.192.0 any (hitcnt=1) 0xa31c6bbd
access-list 101 line 4 extended permit tcp any any eq 89 (hitcnt=1) 0x36f1e5cd
Result:
input-interface: outside
input-status: up
input-line-status: up
output-interface: dmztest
output-status: up
output-line-status: up
Action: drop
Drop-reason: (acl-drop) Flow is denied by configured rule
Thank you.

Subclass webutil object group problem

Hi,
I am using 10g form.
I download the webutil demo and got a form called WU_TEST_106 in which there is
a object group called WEBUTIL.
Then I create a new form and drag the object group WEBUTIL of the form
WU_TEST_106 to the object group of the new form and choose 'subclass'.
When I check the content of the WEBUTIL data block in the new form, there
is no items there.
There should be some bean area such as WEBUTIL_FILE_FUNCTIONS and
WEBUTIL_HOST_FUNCTIONS etc.
Anyone can help ?
Ivan

Do not subclass WEBUTIL from another form. In folder <DevSuiteHome>\forms there should exist file webutil.olb. Open this file directly in Form Builder using
File | Open
and subclass the objects contained within.

importDataObject
Imports an external file into the document and associates the specified name with the data object. Data objects can later be extracted or manipulated.
Related objects, properties, and methods are dataObjects, getDataObject, openDataObject, createDataObject, exportDataObject, removeDataObject, getDataObjectContents, and setDataObjectContents, and the Data Object.
NOTES:(SecurityS): If the cDIPath parameter is specified, this method can only be executed during batch, console or menu events, or through an external call (for example, OLE). See “Privileged versus Non-privileged Context” on page 34 for details. See the event Object for a discussion of Acrobat JavaScript events.
When a file attachment is imported using importDataObject, the value of its Data.name is assigned by the parameter cName. However, when a file is attached using the UI, its name is automatically assigned. The attachments are assigned the sequential names “Untitled Object”, “Untitled Object 2”, “Untitled Object 3”, and so on.
Returns
true on success. An exception is thrown on failure.

Attaching a filled out form

Hello
How can I attach a filled out form to an email? Currently my email button attaches the form as an XML. The end user needs to file the filled out form to a file but in it current XML format does not make it user friendly reading as if it was in the pdf format.
Any ideas would be helpful.
Thanks,
Keith.

You can also send the entire PDF. Here are the steps:
- Open the Form in Designer
- Add a button object to the form
- Update the caption to something like 'submit the form' or 'email the form'
- Change the Control type of the button to Submit
- Click on the Submit tab and choose PDF for the 'Submit as' type
- update the submit URL to mailto:[email protected]
*Please note that the user submitting the form will need Acrobat (or) you can Reader Enable the form if the user only has Reader. This is required since Reader can't save PDF by default.
Usage rights can be added using LiveCycle Reader Extensions (or) you can add usage rights in Acrobat (advanced > Enable usage rights in Adobe Reader). *Please note that if you use Acrobat to Reader enable the form, there is a licensing restriction on the number of users that the form can be sent to.
