I've done it and didn't think there was all that much too it.
what have you got stored in your BFILE? I was using BMP images -
they came through fine when I attached a IMAGE control to that
table field on the form.

Accessing BFILE data type in Developer 6i

I have created one table as
emp_photo BFILE,
emp_image BFILE,
emp_signature BFILE
I want to access and update the above column through form.
Can anyone provide solution

Do you mean the maximum size of a LONG that Forms 6i can display or the maximum size that can be stored in the database which sits behind your Forms application?

BFILE type question.

hello, I have developed a database for document management in XE, the table where it stores the data in documents generated contains a type field BFILE, but as the maximum capacity of this type is the 4GB of data (which is the limit undesirable the XE), I have decided to eliminate it and to define a new field type VARCHAR2 to store the absolute path of the generated files, my question is:
Is there any disadvantage that affects the performance of my application for not using the field BFILE to point to files generated?
Note: I can not use a version of Oracle DATABASE Standard time because my clients are unable to acquire licenses
Roberto.

Hi,
With BFILE the size of the file pointed to can be max. 4GB but this limit is not related to the 4GB total limit of XE for user data stored in Oracle's datafiles. Each BFILE will consume only the space needed to store the pointer.
So I would suggest to use BFILE instead of varchar2 so that you can use the DBMS_LOB package.
Kind regards,
Serge

Has anyone used Object types in developer

If Oracle tables are based on Object types, how does Oracle developer recognise them. Can those tables be used ? I mean if I created a type like :
CREATE TYPE address_typ AS OBJECT (
street VARCHAR2(15),
city VARCHAR2(15),
state CHAR(2),
zip VARCHAR2(5)
and another type :
CREATE TYPE person_typ AS OBJECT (
id NUMBER,
first_name VARCHAR2(10),
last_name VARCHAR2(10),
dob DATE,
phone VARCHAR2(12),
address address_typ);
and then create a table object_customers :
CREATE TABLE object_customers OF person_typ;
Can i use this table in Oracle developer forms ? If anyhow ?

Yes I added the same 1GB Corsair back in May 2006 to the stock 512MB. Replace the 512MB with the 1GB then put the 512MB in the other slot. Slide them in untill you feel then stop, then give them a hard shove to seat them into there slots. After you have seated both modules close the ejector clips and replace the cover.

That extra 1GB will make a big difference, you'll love it.

Custom types for Developing Components

I am creating the custom component for the LiveCycle and I ran into problems, because there are no sufficient documentation how to define and use a custom data types. I have read your article from the DevNet and you refer to the documentation many times. I was very disappointed, because the documentation isn’t handle the custom data types like you have described it. My problem is how to define the custom data type in the component xml. The structure of the custom data type is
ScanProperties
private String virusScanPath
private Priority priority (Enum type)
private Action action (Enum type)
private boolean all
private boolean allole
private boolean archive
private boolean mime
private boolean mheur
private boolean pheur
I will use this custom data type as an input for my service. So my main problem is how I can define the correct set up of the object from the process using the correct editors?
Posted on behalf of Veijo (last name withheld)

Usually custom data types (such as the priority and action types you stated) are added to the component.xml file using the data-types element.
For example, I have created several custom types (Part, OrderResult, PartsOrdered, Pricing and PartColor) that I want to expose in LiveCycle. I want the user to be able to select these types from the drop down when they create process variables inside Workbench. This is done by adding the class’ for each type to the data-types tag:
      <data-types>
            <data-type id="com.adobe.samples.customTypes.Part" title="Part" standard="true">
            </data-type>
            <data-type id="com.adobe.samples.customTypes.OrderResult" title="Part Order Result" standard="true">
            </data-type>
            <data-type id="com.adobe.samples.customTypes.PartsOrdered" title="Parts Ordered" standard="true">
            </data-type>
            <data-type id="com.adobe.samples.customTypes.Pricing" title="Pricing" standard="true">
            </data-type>
            <data-type id="com.adobe.samples.customTypes.PartColor" title="PartColor" standard="true">
            </data-type>
      </data-types>
The data-type attributes are:
id - Required. The identifier used to look up a data type globally (across components). Its maximum length is 255.
title - Short descriptive caption expected to be displayed in any related UI. The title is not defined if id is used in place of title.
java-class - The underlying Java type for this data type that will be used internally and on the signature of an operation when used as input and output. If java-class is not defined, it is assumed that id is the Java class.
standard - A Boolean flag specifying whether this data type is a standard data type. If true, it is expected that applications such as Workbench ES will show this data type by default and not require a search across the data type registry. The default is false.
I also see that you want to use an enumerated type. I’ll assume that you would like to see a drop down in the properties sheet that allows the user to select from a list of possible values. To do that you want to use a property-editor with the type Enum in your input parameter section:
<property-editor editor-id="com.adobe.idp.dsc.propertyeditor.system.Enum" />
I’ve included a sample component.xml (the same one from my DevNet article) that should supply you with the context of the elements.

How to create Fault Message Type when developing RFC (se37)

Hi,
I am working on importing a RFC into XI but am seeing only the Request and Response message structures. The Fault Message structure is blank. I need this to trap .Exception errors like when the connection to partner is broken etc. which look like system errors but they appear in XI as Application errors and the RFC_Name.Exception message is sent back to XI.
Question is: what needs to be done in the RFC so that when I import into XI, I get the Fault Message structure as well.
Thanks in advance

Hello Ram,
You can look into this post as to how to handle [RFC exceptions|RFC Destination Catch Exceptions;.

Images and bfile

hello all
I am using oracle 10g forms and DB.
I have requirement to store images on OS file system instead of DB. Through forms user must be able to store images on file system and when that record is retrieved forms should show that image.
So, I thought to use bfile type in table for this. So, can someone give me how to do so? Is there any code for the same?

I'm not a Forms developer. There is, however, a dedicated Forms which includes a thread on Display in "Oracle Forms 10g" a BLOB item.
If you're using BFILE data types, you'd just add the step of loading the data into a temporary BLOB.

Cannot convert ÿØÿà of type class java.lang.String to class BFileDomain.

Hi All,
I am using Jdeveloper 11.1.2.3.0.
I have a scenario of making an ADF page where I have a IMAGE field to show on the page. So,I have a table called "PRODUCT" with fields called photo with BFILE type. Now when I the data i have inserted using the DML command and i can see the path at the backend.
However,when i am runnig my ADF page in the Filed called "PHOTO" I can only see a junk character stating 'yoyo'.
When I click on it, it says ERROR "Cannot convert ÿØÿà of type class java.lang.String to class oracle.jbo.domain.BFileDomain".
Your help will be appreciated ASAP.

Hi,
did you show the id-value in the user interface as a input-component, and did the input-component include a converter?
If yes, show the id as output-text and remove any existing converter-components.

Issue with Info Object Transport after changing Data Type

Hi Experts,
We have a DSO which is running past 5 years. And recently(3 days back) we added new fields into that DSO. Delta loaded for last three days and new info object (Say XXX) data populated into DSO.
Now the problem is, We identified that, info object data type is not correct. We used data type NUMC instead of CHAR.So Character information is missing for that field.
Example:
Data from ECC: ABC123
Data Loaded to DSO: 123 (Missed character ABC)
So we deleted data from DSO and changed the info object data type in Development system.
And also I have deleted only last three days delta records from DSO and transported my info object to Production. But its giving error as: Info object contains data in DSO".
But that info object field is empty in DSO. I have already deleted last three days delta.
Do I need to Delete all 5 years data from DSO to change the data type of recently added new info object ?
Please give me your solutions and ideas to solve this issue.
Thank you,
Best Regards,
Santhosh

Hi Raman,
Thank you for your answer.
When I changed the data type of info object in Dev, I deleted the content of DSO. And same thing transported to QA as well. Before importing changed info object, I just deleted the content of DSO from QA. So transport done successfully QA.
But in Production we have a history of past 5 years. So I cant delete all contents of DSO.
So just deleted only the delta request's which contains data for that info object(3 days back, we moved that info object(NUMC data type) to production,So last 3 days delta only loaded for that info object). And tried to transport it. But it was failed. I am sure we need to drop all data from DSO, if I am interested to go with same info object.
I have some comments on your first approach,
1. If we delete info objects from Dev DSO and transport to Production will give transport failure, Why because, my previous transports errors clearly saying that info object contains data in DSO . So it wont allow to remove that info object from DSO.
2.We are using same info object technical name in BO Data federator also. So if we change add new info objects again we need to make changes with BO as well. I am thinking this point as my last option if i cant find any other solution.
Thank you.
Best Regards.

Purchasing Document Type (Purchase Order and Contract)

Dear all;
I have created two different PO document type in development Server .I have transferd sandbox for further testing ,There i hve change the number range interval status to "0" after that I have created a PO with new document type in the sand box ,it is working fine but after save ,system showing some error msgs. as Below
Express document "Update was terminated" received from author "JOYDEEP"
What may be the problem.kindly suggest .
Thanking you;

This update termination may be due to some configuration or may be due to some development which is resulting in the dump. Go to SBWP - your SAP inbox, there you will see a mail, open that mail to see the details for the reason for this update termination.

Concurrent Developer Testing in 12.1 Environment

We have been using 11.5 for quite a while and are now trying to learn the ropes with 12.1.
We often have multiple developers testing new changes to the same application at the same time on the same server. In 11.5 we basically did this by using standardized naming conventions in the file system. Different developers used different URLs to essentially get to different copies of the application for testing.
We are hoping we have some better options for concurrent development in 12.1. Does anyone have any suggestions? Is there any way to use NWDI to deploy different versions of the same application to the same development server such that they can be tested independently without doing a lot of renaming?
With our Java web apps (unrelated to our MII web apps) we just deploy .war files with different context roots and that solves most of the issues. Is a similar approach available in 12.1?
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Kevin,
Thanks for you response. This is somewhat helpful. but it does not give me a path forward Let me be a little more specific.
Let's say we have two developers working on the same project/application. Developer A is fixing a bug and developer B is adding a new feature. Let's assume we are using NWDI's sourece control. Let's also assume that the two developer do not need to check out the same files and that they are working on two different Activities. Let's say developer A is working on Activity X and developer B is working on Activity Y.
The question is, how do developers A & B test on the same MII server at the same time?
It typcially is more complex than this. Typically we have more than two developers testing at the same time and sometimes developers will work on the same Activities. In addition to this type of development/testing we typically have an integrated version of the application that we run on the same server at the same time as well. Typically a developer is working on what we call an SCR (Software Change Request). They are developed/tested independently and once they are finished/tested/verified they are merged into the "integrated" version. We currently have the ability to do all of this simultaneous on the same server (although we only have a crude way of doing it by using copies and a strict naming convention).
In the J2EE world this is easy. We can just delpoy the same .WAR files with different context roots and they run independent of each other.
What is the best way to handle this with MII 12.1/NWDI? I don't think it is reasonable to require one MII server per developer.
Thanks for your help.

SQL Developer vs TOAD - query performance question

Somebody made me notice same queries are executing slower in SQL Developer than in TOAD. I'm rather curious about this issue, since I understand Java is "slow" but I can't find any other thread about this point. I don't use TOAD, so I can't compare...
Can this be related to the amount of data being returned by the query ? What could be the other reasons of SQL Dev running slower with an identical query ?
Thanks,
Attila

It also occurs to me that TOAD always uses the equivalent of the JDBC "thick" driver. SQL Developer can use either the "thin" driver or the "thick" driver, but connections are usually configured with the "thin" driver, since you need an Oracle client to use the "thick" driver.
The difference is that "thin" drivers are written entirely in Java, but "thick" drivers are written with only a little Java that calls the native executable (hence you need an Oracle client) to do most of the work. Theoretically, a thick driver is faster because the object code doesn't need to be interpreted by the JVM. However, I've heard that the difference in performance is not that large. The only way to know for sure is to configure a connection in SQL Developer to use the thick driver, and see if it is faster (I'd use a stop-watch).
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that if you use "TNS" as your connection type, SQL Developer will use the thick driver, while the default, "Basic" connection type uses the thin driver. Otherwise, you're going to have to use the "Advanced" connection type and type in the Custom JDBC URL for the thick driver.

Developer 6.0 - Compatibility with 7.3.3

I was prepared to download the beta version and noticed that it
will only run with Oracle Server 8.0.5. Will this be true for
the production version also?

Well Sharpe,
I think you can use Developer 6.0 with Oracle 7.3.3.
But in that case you have to write PL/SQL 2.3 compatiable code
as PL/SQL 8.0 is not supported in Oracle 7.3.3. Even in
Developer 2000 ( 2.0 ) it supports PL/SQL 2.3 version, and does
not support Objects type but Developer 6.0 does support object
types. But if you are trying to have Developer 6.0 and Personal
Oracle 8.X on the same machine then you may have some problems.
It will ask you to create a new ORACLE_HOME !!
Anyway give it a try ! Best of Luck !!

Getting started in Web Forms development.

Hi There,
I hope this is the correct form to be posting in.
Ok, I would like to get into developing Oracle web forms.. I'm not really sure if thats the correct name. Below is an image of exactly what I want to develop. It is loaded up through a Java applet in the web browser but then loads up into a seperate window.
http://www.excel4apps.com/oracle/downloads/glwand/3.90/user_guide/images/image198.jpg
Somebody told me that I need to setup a database server along with an application server for the forms.
I've been on the Oracle download site but to be honest there is a lot of stuff on there and I don't know where to start..
I'd appreciate any advice on what is needed to get started and any tutorials people might be aware of. Can I start into this type of development free of charge or will I need to buy some licences for some of the software?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Conor

EXTERNAL LOB (BFILE) 처리 예제 프로그램
======================================
BFILE type은 화일시스템에 존재하는 FILE을 가리키는 LOCATOR를 저장하는 데이타
타입이다. 이 LOCATOR는 디렉토리 ALIAS, FILENAME, 기타 상태 정보를 포함하고
있다. BFILE은 Directory를 통해 access될 수 있다.
디렉토리란 시스템 상의 물리적 디렉토리를 논리적으로 매핑한 alias명을 말한다.
이 오브젝트는 시스템 소유로서, 디렉토리를 생성/삭제하기 위해서는 create[drop]
any directory 권한이 있어야 한다. sys로 connect하여 grant를 실행한다.
SQL> grant create any directory to scott;
디렉토리 생성 시는 실제 디렉토리가 있는지 여부는 확인하지 않는다는 점을 주의
해야 한다. 현재 생성된 디렉토리와 관련된 정보는 all_directories,
dba_directories를 조회하면 확인 가능하다.
Bfile은 pointer 형태로 저장하기 때문에, 여러 record에서 동일한 file을 value
로 가질 수 있다. file에 대한 처리는 Read만 가능하고, 디렉토리와 마찬가지로
BFILE 컬럼에 insert 시 oracle process가 read 권한이 있는지 여부는 확인하지
않는다.
이는 insert하는 user가 미리 확인해야 한다. 하나의 세션에서 동시에 열 수 있는
file 개수는 session_max_open_files parameter에 의해 제한받는다.
1) 사전 수행 SQL 문
