Bespoke Oracle Forms and Reports and Adobe LiveCycle

I'm looking to produce dynamic questionnaire letters from Oracle Reports.
Currently they're produced in PDF format.
I now need to get them into a format where the recipient can enter their responses, save the doc and then email the doc back to the sender.
RTF format produces a 24Mb file which is obviously no use.
PDF is read-only and can't be saved from Acrobat Reader.
However, I've recently discovered Adobe LiveCycle Acrobat Extensions. Can anyone hep me out with any advice? On the Adobe site it says it plugs into e-Business Suite...but what about bespoke forms/reports?
Thanks

Hi Rajesh,
But i have not installed IAS at all. I have only Forms and Reports 10g and Oracle database installed. As you said it only save on IAS, but can we save it on local machine. Is there any other alternative.
Again my second issues is --> I want to remove Mail option and rename Cache option to PDF from Destype combo box which appears at run time.
Any idea how we can do this?

Which modules of oracle apps have reports and forms?

which modules of oracle apps have reports and forms? Do I need to have strong programming knowledge to learn these?
Plz try to respond as I need to get started with the traiining asap.

Most of Oracle Apps modules come with reports and forms. You would probably need to create your custom module (with custom forms/reports) instead of modifying the standard Oracle Apps forms and reports. Start with "Oracle Applications Developer's Guide" and "Oracle Applications Concepts" manuals, it should be helpful.

Version Controller for Oracle BI EE Reports and Dashboard

Hi,
Is there any way to control Version in Oracle BI EE Reports and Dashboards which are created by different developers and modified as per time and as per requirements.
So that we can track that on perticular day this developer did some changes etc.

Hi,
This is a very good feature that should be there. However, it's currently non-existent. Existing usage tracking can be used to identify bottlenecks and improve performance as well as show who has accessed what. Still, at present time, it's not possible to have developer's tracking. I hope this is a helpful answer.

Linking form and report and passing parameters

Is it possible to call a link with parameter from form to report? Let's say I have a form based on EMP table and when user clicks on DEPT_ID label I want to pass DEPT_ID as a parameter to a report showing detailed information about this department. All my attempts to do it were unsuccessful.
I've seen many questions like this in this thread and most answers refer to Portal FAQ document but there is NO information there on linking form forms to reports and passing parameters between them.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

This can be easily done. First open up two instances of your Portal. In one window, you will need to go into your component you wish to link FROM. In the other window you will need to go into your component you wish to link TO. In the component you wish to link TO there will be a moduleid. Note this somewhere. Then, you will see an area that says: "Call Interface: Show". Click on this. (In the window you are linking to.). In this window, you will see a bunch of stuff. At the bottom you will see a URL call. This is the call you need to use. At the top, it explains each piece of the URL call. Just subsitute YOUR appropriate information into the URL call. In the form you wish to link FROM, you will need to create a button. Just click on the green plus sign at the top of the screen (when in edit mode) and then declare it a button by using the Item Type drop down. Once you create this button, it will appear at the bottom, click on it and you will see an area to insert a Javascript. Click the onClick and insert:
get_field_name = getField(this.form,'COLUMN_NAME_IN_DATABASE');
window.open('/pls/cc_prod/DAD_NAME.wwa_app_module.link?p_arg_names=_moduleid&p_arg_values=MOD_ID_HERE&p_arg_names=_sessionid&p_arg_values=&p_arg_names=COLUMN_NAME_IN_DATABASE&p_arg values='+GETFIELD_NAME+'&p_arg_names=_COLUMN_NAME_IN_DATABASE_cond&p_arg_values=%3D');
In the fourth tab, where it says, "....before displaying form" insert the following: (This will tell the form how to handle the getField function.)
htp.p('<script language="JavaScript1.3">
< !--
function getField(form,fieldName)
var objName = "";
var tmp = "";
var dAction = "";
var sel_idx = 0;
var cnt = 0;
var instance = 0;
var slicedName;
var fillData = new Array();
for (var i = 0; i < form.length; i++)
slicedName = form.elements.name.split(".");
tmp = slicedName[2];
instance = parseInt(slicedName[3],10);
if (!tmp)
continue;
objName = tmp;
if (objName == fieldName)
return form.elements[i].value;
//-->
</script>');
I hope this helps.

Deploying Oracle Forms with Plss and dlls in Client/Server

Hi,
I have a form application which has two plls libraries attached to it - d2kwutil.pll and d2kcomn.pll and one dll - d2kwutil.dll. All these libraries are necssary for the app to work. The issue come when I am trying to deploy them in different environments like dev,test,qa,prod. The users access the forms applications from a shared drive and all the users have forms runtime client installed on their local machines.
If I just post my fmx in the shared drive it doesn't work as its unable to find the plls and the dll. I will really appreciate if someone can provide some feedback on this. How this should be done so that we can place these plls and dll in central location without chaning the paths etc.
Thanks

Oracle Forms 4.5 and 9iAS

Has anyone migrated an Oracle Forms 4.5 application into 9iAS? What were your experiences and lessons learned?

Hello,
Forms 4.5 is a very old release (I worked with it 10 years ago). So I'll be very surprised that it could be
supported today.
More over, according to the Note *338513.1* of MOS, Forms 6i is desupported and then, not certified
to Oracle Server *11g*.
As previously posted, you may think to upgrade your Forms and Report.
Best regards,
Jean-Valentin

Oracle Forms 9.04 and Form Colours

Hi i am fairly new to building forms, i having a problem where when i specify a frame colour to say red or blue, when the form is run in the browser it does not change colours, it stays the same green colour all the way through. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this and found a work around. Many Thanks in Advance.

The colors used by Oracle Forms are controlled by the pallet. Forms allows you to use a Default Pallet (no action necessary by the user) or you can specify your own pallet in the Forms Preferences (Edit => Preferences=> General Tab, Color Palette). More than likely you are dealing with a configuration issue. The Forms OC4J (running from your local machine) or Forms Server (deployed to an Apps Server) can't find the default.pal file in the your Delevoper Home. ( <ORACLE_HOME>\tools\common90 ).
Hope this helps.

Help needed from Oracle form 6i developer and oracle applications 11i

More details will be provided later on and ready to negotiate the price for this project..............
It should not take more than 10 days to complete this project. Interested candidate should let me know asap.
Edited by: user8725114 on Aug 17, 2009 8:18 PM

Hi,
Try the built-in procedure WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT. See some examples in the on-line help of Forms.
You can call this built-in procedure in a Form level trigger , called 'KEY-HELP' (when the user presses the <Ctrl>+<H> buttons) , or if you have a button on the form use the trigger 'WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED'.
Hope the above will help you...

Which Oracle product works similarly to Adobe Livecycle?

Hi All,
I am newbie using Oracle products (except for Oracle DB). My company wants to implement a workflow where an individual request to open a bank account by filling out an application (either web-base form or PDF-based form). Then, this application is submitted electronically and route it to reviewers in different departments. I know that this kind of business process can be implemented using Adobe LiveCycle. However, my company bough Oracle Universal Content Management 11g and they want me to use it to implement this process. My questions are:
1. Is Oracle UCM a suitable solution for the process mentioned above?
2. What other Oracle product will works similarly to Adobe LiveCycle?
Thanks for your responses and feedback
Elkin

It depends how deep you want to go... With the default functionality of UCM you can create workflows in order to approva a document for publication but you can't model a complete process in it... If you realy want to model business processes than you need a BPM tool such as BPEL.
I don't think you need to buy the complete SOA suite but you can buy the components you want...
Best is to contact Oracle Sales for that.

Hi,
May I know why you need to start admin server in both the physically separated server. If you want to achieve HA solution for admin server, then do the clustering in such a way that Admin server will run in Active-Passive mode.
You can refer the same document that you have mentioned.

Export - custom queries and reports, and security profiles

We would like to keep a copy of our customizations to the application.
There are ways to import queries, reports and profiles into the app. Is there any way to export the following to something like a CSV file for the following:
- custom queries (all tabs)
- custom reports (all tabs)
- security profiles (custom and out of box u2013 all access rights)
Thanks,
Jerry

Jerry,
There are no standard queries that extract security profiles, Query Groups, Reports or Query Defintiions from the system.
However you can build custom queries that support this functionality. During an implementation project I created some custom queries which allowed you to extract these objects for documenting purposes We likely could supply these to you through SAP Consulting. Please reach out to your SAP rep and have them Contact Me. I have created some instruction that explain how to create these.

James
