Attaching/Subclassing Object Libraries Without Opening in 6i FMB

Hi All,
Our requirement is to subclass a object group which contains different set of elements in it. (i.e. Blocks, Property classes, Canvas etc) how can we subclass this OLB in a form without opening the form in a 6i Builder. Tried the header functions available in Forms C API but i find no API which allows this type of operations to be done for object libraries. We have successfully automated such redundant activities for other items like canvas, items etc.
Can you suggest a way to achieve this in a object library, if its possible. Because we need to do this for nearly 500+ forms. Why we are thinking of this alternative is because of the fact that if we have these elements said above in a object group of a template form, we will have to drag and drop this object group in each forms from template form.
Its a new object group and we are not in a position to add the newly created elements into any other existing object group because of few other reasons which may disturb the existing functionality, because if we can do that recompiling all forms against template form will have the newly created elements reflected.
Hope i have conveyed it clearly, please comment and advice to achieve our requirement.

This is not possible with Forms 6i. Referred with Oracle Support for this Issue.
Thanks

Object Libraries not opening at startup

Hi,
Some of the developers in the project I
am involved in are having trouble with
Forms 6.0
The Object Livraries they open in a session
are not re-open the next time they start
Forms.
Does anyone I an idea of what might cause
this ?
Thanks in advance.

AFAICT, that info's stored in your com.apple.loginitems.plist file.

Subclassed Objects in frmxml2f.bat utility cause problems....

Hi everybody,
I use the frm2xml.bat file in Windows in order to transform the .fmb files to .xml, then i use the frmxmlv.bat file in order to validate the .xml file. These two steps are successfully completed....
I want to transform the .xml file and overwrite back to .fmb using the frmxml2f.bat. This step fails because of some subclassing errors.....
The source .fmb files have subclassed object libraries and .pll libraries which have been saved in the directory which FORMS_PATH defines .
Although the errors have to do with these subclassing.....
What should I do in this situation...????
THE ON-LINE HELP SAYS THAT
Subclassing error: Check that your FORMS_PATH contains all parent modules....
QUESTION
The subclassed .olb libs are the parent modules for this .fmb file or is it something else...????
Thanks a lot
Simon

EUREKA!
the problem was that I was not converting the data back to an image. Here is the snippet to change:
//transform the image object
NSData *imageData = [[decoder decodeObjectForKey:@"Image"] retain];
UIImage *newImage = [[UIImage alloc] initWithData:imageData];
locImage = newImage;
The only remaining thing is a memory management question. If I autorelease the data or the temp image the app crashes because I am referencing a deallocated instance. Yet I am concerned about the memory issues here. I have also tried releasing the temp objects at the end and that crashes for the same reason. Should I be copying the temp image into the instance variable of the class?

FRM-18108 Error when opening a form with subclassed objects

Dear Group,
I have 2 forms in Oracle Forms 6i. One of the forms contains an object group. The other form contains the object that I subclassed it to.
When I open the form that contains the subclassed object group, I get the FRM-18108 error.
If I open the form with the original object group, then open the subclassed form, there is no error.
Does this mean I must always open the original form in order to work on the one with the subclassed object group?
I hope there is an simple solution to what is something I am missing in my Oracle Forms setup.
Thank you in advance.

Hi Duncan.
Your suggestion worked.
Thank you for the fast response!

Is there any wat to print attachments in a PDF Portfolio without opening each attachment individually?

We have a large PDF Portfolio with many attachments and would like to print those items all at once without opening every single attachment. I would think think that this is possible considering I took the files from outlook 2003 and you are able to print an email and its attachments in that program. If anyone knows how to do this, I would appreciate the help.

Re: Is there any way to print multiple attachments from an Adobe PDF Portfolio without having to open each attachent individually?
Portfolios only support the printing of PDF files (more specifically, PDF files whose security permissions allow printing). You can print all PDF files in a Portfolio without opening them all simply by opening the Portfolio and clicking on the print button in the Portfolio toolbar. If desired, you can also limit it to a selection of PDF files.
Unfortunately non-PDF files will need to be opened and printed individually from their respective apps.

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.

How do I effectively use my Object Libraries ?

I have created a generic form which allows users to search a name in a database table. I have created an Object Libarary and added the Blocks, Canvas, etc. to this OLB file.
My concern is reusing this object in several applications without having to customize each time I attach it to a new form.
Does anyone have experience with reusing Object Libraries? If so, how do you make modifications to your OLB file so that it propagates to the other forms using it?
Thanks,
Bob

Rather than having to post to loads of people, the note is available on metalink.oracle.com and the note number is NOTE:63373.1 and the title is:

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.

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?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

Attached library webutil added on opening form in forms dev 10.1.2.0.2

Using forms developer 10.1.2.0.2. Converted forms from 6i. Everything is working as expected, however having an issue with Forms developer. I have added the webutil.olb to the forms developer object libraries. I have not attached the webutil object group to my specific form. I have not attached the webutil.pll to my specific form in the attached library. However, when I open the form, forms developer automatically attaches webutil.pll to my specific form's attached library. This happens on every form but just on one machine. I have tried deleting the library, recompiling, saving, closing, reopening and it is still there. If anyone can provide some insight, I would appreciate it.

Solved - We had another attached library that referenced something that was using webutil. When we removed that attached library and webutil.pll, then we did not see webutil.pll reattach itself upon opening the form in forms builder. It is odd that it is smart enough (or mean enough) to try to help you out by including things you don't want. Just thought I would share on the small chance anyone else has run across this.

How can I delete an email on my iMac without opening it - I know it contains a virus

I have an email account on my 2013 iMac - how can I delete an email on the account without opening it - I know from the subject that it is a virus

It does not have a virus attached and unless you open whatever (if anything) is attached or linked to the email nothing can happen.
So you can select and delete it and nothing will happen
Although, if you never select it nothing will happen.
Your choice.

Why am I getting "Associated object cannot be opened"?

I have created a task that utilizes method CRMSALESPROCESSEDIT of standard BOR object BUS2000115 on our CRM sandbox. As a test, I launched the Webclient UI from transaction BSP_WD_CMPWB by clicking on the Test pushbutton for component CRM_UI_FRAME. I can see my task in the CRM Task List. However, when I try to execute the task I receive the message, "Associated object cannot be opened; contact your system administrator".
According to the second edition of the text "Practical Workflow for SAP", I "can use every standard BOR object type that is enabled for dynamic navigation for your own workflow without further customizing and implementation effort". Accordingly, I checked in table BSP_DLC_OBJ_TYPE and found object BUS2000115. So why am I getting the error message?
I tried maintaining Object Specific Navigation for this method in the IMG but it did not make a difference. But I might not have maintained it properly.
When I execute this task in the Business Workplace of the SAPGui it takes me to the "Search for Business Transactions" screen.
I am on version 'SAP CRM ABAP 6.0', with SAP_ABA and SAP_BASIS = 700. SAP_AP = 700. PI_BASIS = 2006_1_700. ST-PI = 2008_1_700. BBPCRM = 600.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Lars,
I will do what I can to help but I am going from memory. Our sandbox has been rebuilt several times in the the last few years. Plus we only use our SAP CRM system for channel managment now.
I think that I instantiated an instance of the business object BUS2000115 in a previous step of the workflow with a custom task that utilized method 'GENERICINSTANTIATE' of object 'SYSTEM'. I bound that instance to a workflow container object (probably called BUS2000115).
In a subsequent step I think that I failed to explicitly bind BUS2000115 to &_WI_OBJECT_ID&. This was in the definition of the step. In other words, from the workflow builder (transaction PFTC_CHG) I clicked on the "Workflow Builder" pushbutton. Then I double clicked on the step where I wanted to change the sales transaction. I entered the appropriate task and step name for changing the sales transaction. Then I clicked on the Binding pushbutton just below the "Step Name". In the top table control on the popup I entered &BUS2000115& on the left and &_WI_OBJECT_ID& on the right.
Once I did that then the error message was resolved. Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Paul

Saving LiveCycle PDF without opening the PDF

One of our legacy web sites still uses LiveCycle 7.1 to generate and serve up PDFs to our end users. Instead of displaying the PDF, we would like to let the end user click a button on our site to pop up a file save dialog so that they can save the generated PDF directly to their local drive without opening/displaying the PDF in Reader.
Is this possible, and if so, how?
Thanks!
BTW - We are planning to retire this website in the next year or so and have no plans to upgrade or continue using LiveCycle once this functionality is migrated to our newer site.

Attachment error: Object Link type   in UWL

Hi,
This is regarding the UWL - opening the attachment.
we have integrated the solution manger to the Enterprise portal where
the workflow tasks of the solution manager will be displayed in the UWL
of the Enterprise portal.
The workitems are displayed properly, but when we try to see the actual
work item attachment it is giving error as follows:
"Attachment error: Object Link type . See log file for details "
The detailed error we have taken from the UWL.log, which displays as
follows:
" Mon Mar 12 20:45:42 GMT+05:30
2007:com.sap.netweaver.bc.uwl.core.connect.webflow.util.ObjectLinkException: Mon Mar 12 20:45:42 GMT+05:30 2007 CRM Context service has not
been installed "
The URL which goes like this:
http://ep6devn:50000/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.netweaver.bc.uwl.ui.UWLInformation?key1=AttachmentError&key1_param1= Object Link type .
Similarly if we try to open the same attachment in solution manager by
logging at SAP-GUI frontend i.e. through Tcode:SBWP and selecting the
workitem, choosing the objects and attachments. it is displaying the
actual message.
Enterprise portal current status: EP 6.0 NW2004-SP16
Solution manager status: SOlution manager 4.0 NW2004s-SP8
Help me in solving this.
Thanks and Regards
