Attachments looses names when distributing from forms

Hi,
I use forms (RUN_REPORT_OBJECT) to run and distribute (to email) a report with additional attachments.
I dynamically create the distrubution list and store it and the files to attach on the application server.
The reports run ok, but in the email the attachments looses their name and get defaultnames like "PDD_ORDER07798975" where "PDD_ORDER" is the report name.
My attach tag in the distributionlist looks like:
<attach srcType="file" name="237959.jpg">
<include src="/usr/local/oracle/runtime/reports/prod/distribute/237959.jpg"/>
</attach>
When running the report from a url in the browser and with the same distributionlist the filenames is ok in the mail.
Another problem is that files like gif/jpg/jpeg get corrupted in the mail (pdf-files works fine) - this oocurs both from forms and from url...

Thanks for asking, Paul. Let me give more detail on the two questions:
(1)
We've received a lot of complaints from all over the world that recipients where not able to open our PDF form.
A portion of these complaints were resolved after we explained recipient that they had to upgrade to at least Adobe Reader version 7 or newer.
However, other recipient complained that they were still unable to open the form even with the latest version of Adobe Reader. These are the ones that we're concerned about. We don't know why they are having problems. Apparently, our files works on a number of computers with Readers versions 7, 8, and/or 9. But not on all.
Is it that the recipient who can't open the form have not installed their Reader properly? We don't know. Or is it that the form or form-generating software has some bug that causes problems on some configurations but not on others?
(2)
The behavior is not consistent. What worries us in particular, are recipient reporting that they can open normal PDFs but not this form.
One had the computer crashing, others got simply messages that they couldn't open the file.
Any ideas about the possible causes? Anyone similar observations?

Access 2010 on 64 Bit Windows 7 Access "Not Responding" when changing from forms view to design view and back

I am running
Windows 7 64 bit
Access 2010 32 bit
Developing an application with a split FE BE with both files local but continue to have the message "Not Responding" when switching from forms view to design view and back as well as if I try to connect to a subform or object on the sub form.

I have seen this behavior when the form's RecordSource is a complex query such as a crosstab or a query with several nested queries. To test if this is your case, remove the RecordSource and see if the form starts acting normal again.
Then again, if the form has several subforms they might be slowing up the loading time.

Browser size when launched from Forms Builder

Hi, Does anyone know how to set the size of the IE browser when launched from Forms Builder? I have set the width and height setting to 100% so that the applet takes up all the browser space, however the browser is still not as large as I'd like.
When I start IE on its own, it opens in the desired size, it's only when running it from Forms Builder that it's too small. I've searched on the net, but nothing seems to work, there must be a setting specific to Forms?
Thanks
Sam

If you are using SeparateFrame = True, then you might try using these in your When-New-Form-Instance trigger:
set_window_property(forms_mdi_window, window_state, maximize);
set_window_property('Your_Main_Window', window_state, maximize);
If you are not using SeparateFrame = True, then you may have to use JavaScript in the page where your applet is located. Javascript can also go in your formsweb.cfg file. See:
HTMLbeforeForm=<script>....</script>
or
HTMLafterForm=<script>....</script>

Separator page prints out with wrong name when printing from Outlook 2010

Working with Windows 7 Enterprise, Outlook 2010. We've set up our desk printers to print a separator page with the user's name, as several people use the same printers in our building. Printing from IE, Word, etc. all work fine, and it'll print
out the correct username on the separator page.
When anyone attempts to print an Outlook email, it instead prints out my username. We've found that it doesn't happen if they click on the "quick print" button, but it happens every time if they do "file > Print" or Ctrl+P.

Hi
As per the information and details provided by you that separator page prints out with wrong name when printing from Outlook 2010, please follow these steps: -
To create a custom separator page file, use a text editor such as
Notepad. On the very first line, type one single character, and then press
Enter. The character on this line defines the character used as an escape character. For example, the following list assumes that this character is the at sign (@).
Enter the escape codes for the functions you want, and then save the file with an .sep extension in the Windows System32 subfolder.
In the Print Manager, select the printer that you want to use the separator page file with, and then click
Choose Properties on the Printer menu.
Click
Details, specify the name of the desired separator page file in the
Separator File box, and then click OK.
Note:
Put the custom separator page file in one of the following locations:
In the %Windir%System32 folder.
In a folder whose path contains a SepFiles folder. For example:
Drive:\Folder\SepFiles\Subfolder
I hope this information will be helpful for you.
Thanks and regards

Report does not come up when called from Forms

Hi ,
Looks like this is not a Forms side problem or even a Reports Servlet problem
Some guesses.
From the exception
at oracle.reports.engine.EngineImpl.CGetEnv(Native Method)
at oracle.reports.engine.EngineImpl.getEnvs(EngineImpl.java:453)
it looks like engine crashing. Did you see the server GUI up and running ? Server might not have started
Give
rwserver server=<server_name> in command line.
The server GUI should come up and show "ready "
You have multiple Oracle Homes on the same machine. So this could be a PATH problem.
1) Go to ControlPanel -> System - Advanced - Env variables - System Variables
Copy the IDS specific PATH to clipboard
Go to iDS_HOME\bin\ and open a command window. Set only the above PATH here. Start a standalone server
rwserver server=<server_name>
and try
(If this works you could write a batch file later)
2) For trouble shooting purposes use a different server name to start the standalone server.
3) Also look in your registry
HKLM\Software\Oracle\Home<x>\
Here please see whether you have any "very long" environment variable (say more than 256 chars or 512 chars).
This is just a guess.
4) To confirm this is not a Reports servlet problem
give
rwclient report=<report_name> + ..... <server=server_name>
If you get same error, then it is not a servlet problem. It could be that Reports server is crashing
Thanks

Is it possible to call diff report queries when called from form

hello all
I want to know if it is possible to call different report queries when called from oracle 9i form .
i tried to use he
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(REPORT_QUERY = 'q_diff' )
option and actualy called the report name
but it dint seem to work !!!
also is it possible to chng the title of the browser at runtime

Sandeep,
this property is used with passing Record Groups as data parameters from Forms.
Passing the query name indicates that the values contained in the record group substitutes the result of the named query. This may work in client/server Reports, but it definitively doesn't work on teh Web because you can't pass a Record Group as a data parameter in this environment.
Te problem with changing a Reports query is that you must meet the same number of columns and column types as they exist in the Report. I didn't spend much time with XML based runtime customization in Reports. I think that you can change the Reports query through this feature. In Forms you would create the XML file using text_io and the merge it with an existing Reports. I never did this before. So it could be that all I am saying does not work in the end. Before following this idea, you may better ask in teh Reports forum on OTN if it is possible to use the runtime customization feature to modify the Reports query.

Reports layout/format problem when called from forms

hi,
using forms and reports builder 10g OS winxp
i have created web and paper layout report with pre-defined template gray (rdf). when i run the web layout there is no problem.
when i call this report from form using
web.show_document('http://machine:8889/reports/rwservlet?report=mail_report.rdf&destype=cache&desformat=HTML&userid=abc/xyz@dbname&para1='||:parameter1, '_blank');
the layout (cell bgcolors of the table) does not appear.
pl guide what am i missing out.
thanks

Hi,
that has nothing to do with forms. Your call inside web.show_document is a servlet-call. With this you get the paper layout of a report. If you want to get the web-layout, you have to call the report with a jsp-call. In your case that might look like http://machine:8889/reports/mail_report.jsp?userid=.....
If you store your report as jsp-file, you can use it for paper & web-layout, as rdf only paper-layout is possible.

Change gmail outgoing name when sent from iphone4

hi!
so, i have my gmail account set up on iphone and it works all fine and peachy but...
all my outgoing e-mails sent from iphone have my username displayed as outgoing name.
(for example: say, my e-mail is [email protected] all my outgoing e-mails, sent from iphone display Pink Elephant as my name, which looks kind of awkward, when i'm replying to business related e-mails)
just to be clear: when i go to Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> GMAIL -> Account... it doesn't have the name field.
it has:
- email
- server
- domain
- username
- password
- description
and the option to use SSL. that's it.
any ideas how to change the outgoing name?
thanks!

wjosten, the thing is - it has my name in gmail settings. i checked. it works fine, when i e-mail from a computer.
changing it has no effect on my outgoing name, when i send from iphone.
but thanks
upd: yeah, what Leann said

Problem with sqlplus when called from forms

Dear friends,
I have the following problem, we are using forms 10g and database 10g,we are using client_host command to call sqlplus from form and the query which is being run by sqlplus is supposed to take an input from the client and return results. there is no problem in that. but the problem is the sqlplus window opens only in minimized mode and the users wants it open in maximized mode by default.
this is the code i am using to do this
pat:='sqlplusw -s'||:global.text||'@i:\sqls\codewise.sql'
client_host(pat);
please help me
prawin

I'm not sure allowing end users access to a sqlplus session is such a good idea. A savvy user having a bad hair day and becoming disgruntled could wreak havoc on your database if he/she has the right permissions. Besides, I've heard rumors that Forms is really good at accepting user input, querying the database, and displaying the results :P

Invalid Object Name When Executing from Report Manager

I ran some code to create a modified view of ExecutionLog3 on a SQL Server 2012 instance. The ReportServer and ReportServerTempDB were transferred from a 2005 instance and are still on that compatibility level. After creating the new view, I
created a report in SSDT and it runs fine. I deployed the dataset followed by the report. I went to Report Manager to test it and the report fails with the following:
An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)
The execution failed for the shared data set
'ExecutionLog'. (rsDataSetExecutionError)
Query execution failed for dataset ''. (rsErrorExecutingCommand)
Invalid object name 'ExecutionLog3_Modified'.
The code for the view is below and it came from MSSQLTips. Why does the report run fine from SSDT and fail in Report Manager?

Lee Markum

Hi Lee,
According to your description, you can't process the dataset when viewing the report on report server. Right?
In this scenario, as you can see the dataset name in error message is empty, and it says "Invalid Object Name". Because you have already created a view in your database. When you run this report again, this query be executed again so that you can
not create another view with same name. So you just need to query the view directly when creating dataset.
Select * from ExecutionLog3_Modify
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best Regards,

CRX operations giving error when invoking from Form

Hi All,
I am facing a weird problem while invoking CRX operations from the form.
I have a submit button on the form where on clicking that button I am calling a LiveCycle process. The LiveCycle process which I am calling contains CRX opeartions like CreateFolder and StoreContent. I have a string variable that is the input to this process and the issue is that when I am calling this process from the form I am getting a error saying "Unable to locate [/]". But if i call the process by giving the input string within the workbench then the process is getting executed without any error.
I am not able to figure the reason behind this since I am giving the same input to the process from the form and within the workbench.
Could anyone please let me know if you have any inputs on this?
Thanks,
Balaji

Hi Wasil,
Thanks for your response.
I have checked in the form and the URL that is pointing to is correct. I am able to call the process from the form, only when executing the CRX operation I am getting the error. I have other few operations in the same process which are getting executed without any issues. Let me know your inputs on this.
Thanks,
Balaji

Name several links from form data

have a swf page of 10 thumbnails. From a html form on another
page I want to generate a list of the thumbnails' url and the url
of the movie that plays when each thumbnail is clicked. I can make
the form create a text file like:
1. bob.jpg , bob.flv
2. mel.jpg , mel.flv
etc.
How can I make my thumbnail page select these values for each
thumbnail when the page is generated?
any help is greatly appreciated!
ff

If I understand what you're asking, you'll want to reformat
your .txt file a bit (just slightly!) and use LoadVars to obtain
those values.
1. bob.jpg, bob.flv -- now, if your pattern will be like
this, you can simplify the process. (ie- no 1.bob.jpg wayne.flv)
flash sees text file variables like this:
&variableONE=VALUEone&variableTWO=VALUEtwo&
the "&" symbol tells flash there is a new variable
coming. Then you're just assigning values to variables. Looking at
your example, you could do it one of two ways....
&image1=bob.jpg&link1=bob.flv
or
&person1=bob
//doing it this way would force you to keep your files a
little more organized, but it would probably pay off.
check out
THIS. Its a simple
tutorial that will show you how to import values into flash, and
how to properly use them. If its too confusing, I can keep
exlplaining here. :)

ML Automatically sorts files by name when moving from one folder to another.

Hello, i usually used to move a bunch of files like images or mp3s from one folder to another and in Lion, when moving like 20+ files to another folder, they was being placed where you clicked.
Seems that in ML when i move the same amount of same files, rather than placing them at the cursor, it just moves them and sorts by name. How to avoid this?

Anonymous User,
Links just request pages. Maybe the requested page could run the procedure in a before/after header process.
