Hi there
Oracle forms runs in a browser. You can call it will an URL contain all the parameters you require for the application as well as various environmental parameters such as form userid etc.
e.g. http://testserver:7777/forms90/f90servlet?config=myConfig&otherparams=userid=bla/bla@dev&form=test.fmx&myparam1=hello&myparam2=world
From my example my form test.fmx will contain parameters param1 and param2.
Cheers

Calling application from other database

It's possible to call an application on another database, without informing user and password again?

Sorry for being fastidious, but I don't think you can "call" an Apex application as you would call a database procedure for instance. So I assume you mean navigate from one Apex application to another Apex application in a different database.
If you use single sign-on (SSO), that is a piece of cake.
If you don't, there is no straightforward way I think. You can use some ingenious ways to get round it though, for instance:
- In the calling application, using a database link, insert a token in some table in the other database along with the username and a timestamp.
- Pass that token and the username in the URL as a parameter to an "auto login page" in the other application
- In the "auto login page" of the other application, check whether the token/username combination is valid and, if it is, auto-login the user using the provided username.
You also could use other fancier techniques like queues. Maybe others may have other suggestions.
I hope this helps

Calling application from a servlet

Hi,
I am having trouble sending automated email messages from a servlet. Someone else in this office has had luck with getting an application to send email. I was wondering if my servlet could call the application .class file? It is possible for a servlet to call an application and if so how do I do it?
Thanks

Calling applications from javafx

hi,
how to call other application such as winamp, firefox, etc from javafx.

Have a look at the documentation of java.lang.ProcessBuilder [http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/ProcessBuilder.html]
General pointer for processes in Java:
- you DO need to consume the content of the standard output and error output (if any) in order for your app to execute correctly.
- "consuming" means empting their content (getting rid of it, saving it to a log, exporting it to the GUI, whatever). Can be done in separate Thread or task (see FX pointers below).
- standard ouput stream is returned by getInputStream() in the Process class (I know the name is misleading but from Java's point of view, the process' output is an input stream).
- error ouput stream is returned by getErrorStream() in the Process class (same)
Pointers for processes in JavaFX:
- use javafx.async.JavaTaskBase and javafx.async.RunnableFuture to create an async FX task to start & launch the process and to consume its streams.

How to call an applescript application from Office 2011 Excel VBA

All:
I have been pounding my head how to implement a working VBA application into the Mac environment. I have tried a number of approaches calling applescript from VBA. I would like to call my applescript application and pass one argument. My applescript application is as follows:
<code>
on run argv
set theURL to (item 1 of argv)
set p_path to do shell script "echo ~"
set m_path to POSIX file p_path
set theName to text -((offset of "/" in (reverse of characters of theURL) as text) - 1) thru -1 of theURL
set theFile to (p_path & "/Downloads/" & theName)
set macPath to (POSIX file theFile)
do shell script "/usr/bin/curl " & theURL & " -o " & quoted form of POSIX path of macPath
end run
</code>
My last attempt within VBA is:
<code>
Sub SaveMetaDataFile(URL As String, shortFileName As String)
Dim scriptToRun As String
Dim posixcmd As String
posixcmd = ThisWorkbook.Path
scriptToRun = "tell application " & posixcmd & ":MetaDataFileDownloadScript.app " & URL
MsgBox "[" & scriptToRun & "]"
MacScript (scriptToRun)
</code>
I first tried to call the script directly without the "tell application" and I still obtain an error. I also tried the following in VBA and I get the same error with the last lane of code:
<code>
scriptToRun = "set theURL to " & """" & URL & """" & Chr(13)
scriptToRun = scriptToRun & "set p_path to do shell script " & """" & "/bin/echo ~ " & """" & Chr(13)
scriptToRun = scriptToRun & "set m_path to " & """" & posixcmd & """" & Chr(13)
scriptToRun = scriptToRun & "set theName to " & """" & shortFileName & """" & Chr(13)
scriptToRun = scriptToRun & "set theFile to (p_path & " & """/Downloads/""" & " & theName)" & Chr(13)
scriptToRun = scriptToRun & "set macPath to (POSIX file theFile)" & Chr(13)
scriptToRun = scriptToRun & "do shell script " & """" & "/usr/bin/curl " & """" & " & " & " theURL " & " & " & """" & " -o " & """" & " & " & " quoted form of POSIX path of macPath"
MsgBox scriptToRun
'scriptToRun = scriptToRun & "do shell script " & """/usr/bin/curl """ & " & " & " theURL " & """ -o """ & " & " & " quoted form of POSIX path of macPath"
MacScript (scriptToRun)
</code>
The above code is from the applescript application. The applescript application works well using the terminal via osascript. For example:
xenas-imac:Census Work Xena$ osascript MetaDataFileDownloadScript.app http://www2.census.gove/acs20095yr/summaryfile/Sequence_Number_and_Table_numberLookup.xls
xenas-imac:Census Work Xena$
The whole goal is to download a file into the Download directory from Excel to allow the next step to import the file into Excel for the user. Any help here would be great!
Thank you;
Lori

Update:
Ok have the module almost working and matches the syntax within the test applescript I had created, but the VBA code via the MacScript() call is generating an invalid procedure or argument call. The following is the test applescript to compare the created string to be passed to VBA MacScript() function:
<code>
set appPath to quoted form of POSIX path of "Macintosh HD:Users:Xena:Desktop:Census Work:"
do shell script "/usr/bin/osascript " & appPath & "MetaDataFileDownloadScript.app " & "http://www2.census.gove/acs20095yr/summaryfile/Sequence_Number_and_Table_numberLookup.xls"
</code>
The following is the VBA module that generates the above word for word as far as I can tell:
<code>
Sub SaveMetaDataFile(URL As String, shortFileName As String)
Dim scriptToRun As String
Dim posixcmd As String
posixcmd = ThisWorkbook.Path
posixcmd = posixcmd & ":"
scriptToRun = "set appPath to quoted form of POSIX path of " & Chr(34) & posixcmd & Chr(34) & Chr(13)
scriptToRun = scriptToRun & "do shell script " & Chr(34) & "/usr/bin/osascript " & Chr(34) & " & appPath & " & Chr(34) & "MetaDataFileDownloadScript.app " & Chr(34) & " & " & Chr(34) & URL & Chr(34)
MsgBox "[" & scriptToRun & "]"
MacScript (scriptToRun)
End Sub
</code>
The message box in the above VBA code matches my test applescript file and I have taken the output of the MsgBox and used it in a test applescript and it works great, but VBA is throwing "Run-time error '5': Invalid procedure call or argument".
Looking at Microsoft's definition it takes a string argument and I have made sure that scriptToRun is a string type, so at this point I suspect there is something wrong with the MacScript() funciton, or I am missing something above. Is there another way to call an applescript application from VBA outside the MacScript() function? Or is there something I am missing? Any help or suggestions is needed.
Thank you;
Lori (CodeXena)

Calling Portal application from current webdynpro java application

Hi Experts,
We are having Portal 7.4 SP6 framework.
Application-A -> Web-dynpro java program pushing data into R/3 using BAPI.
Application-B -> Std. WD-ABAP iView template.
Currently, I am working in web-dynpro java program, where I am pushing some data into R/3 using BAPI in Application-A. And this BAPI data is getting displayed in another z-Tcode and displayed in portal using web-dynpro Abap iView template, which is Application-B
Now I want to align this application, so that Application- A should call Application-B from within the WD-Java framework. And here Application-A should get closed and open application-B.
Is there any standard process using Web-dynpro Java to handle such scenario.
Regards,
Hanif

Hi Siddharth,
Well, I think you can go for Portal Navigation concept.
Please check the required source code in WDR_TEST_PORTAL_NAV Web Dynpro component. That will illustrate both Page based Navigation and Object based Navigation.
Hope that should solve your problem.

Hi,
We have developed one Application using Webdynpro Java and I m in need to call the Webdynpro Java application from Webdynpro ABAP.
Require Suggestions to acheive this.
Thanks In advance.
Reg,
Ajay.

Dear Ajay,
Assuming that both your applications WDA & WDJ are in the portal & you don't have to pass any parameters to the WDJ application.
Write the following code on the action where you would call the WDJ application.
DATA:
        lr_compcontroller TYPE REF TO ig_componentcontroller,
        l_component TYPE REF TO if_wd_component ,
        lr_port_manager TYPE REF TO if_wd_portal_integration ,
        wa_navigation TYPE navigation.
lr_compcontroller =   wd_this->get_componentcontroller_ctr( ).
l_component = lr_compcontroller->wd_get_api( ).
lr_port_manager = l_component->get_portal_manager( ) .
* The value inserted into the navigation-target field can be found in the Portal
* content administration tab of your portal. It is the ID or PCD Location field
wa_navigation-target = pcd. " Please provide the PCD Location of the WDJ Application here.
wa_navigation-mode   = '0'. "0 = INTERNAL(same page) and 1 = EXTERNAL(new page).
CALL METHOD lr_port_manager->navigate_absolute
    EXPORTING
      navigation_target = wa_navigation-target
      navigation_mode   = wa_navigation-mode.
You can get the PCD from the Page properties of the WDJ application page in the Portal.
Hope it helps!
Warm regards,
Upendra Agrawal

Calling java application from Oracle forms button

Hi all,
I have a problem. The idea is to call Java desktop application when button is pressed. I have used this (above) line of code, but there is no results. When I start form in local everything is fine but when I start from server it doesn't work. Does anyone has that kind of problem and how is solved?
Thanks in advance.
__Code is:__
DECLARE
v_path VARCHAR2(1000);
BEGIN
v_path:= '\\location\Java_Application.jar';
HOST(v_path);
END;

First, please start here:
http://blogs.oracle.com/shay/2007/03/02/
As for what you are doing and the problem, it will be difficult to give an exact reason, but here are a few comments which will apply regardless of the platform, version, and installation type.
1. In most case, when calling HOST from Forms the shell that is started does not include all of the system environment variables. This means for example, if a java.exe is needed (on Windows), you would need to specify its path as part of the call or use a batch file rather than calling a command or app directly. The batch file would first set all the needed environment variables (i.e. PATH, CLASSPATH, etc)
2. If you are running a newer version of Forms, you have a middle tier. This is were your HOST call will be executed. So, if you are expecting this to occur on the client it will not work. You would need WebUtil for client side calls.
3. Calling a network resource (i.e. shared drive) is not permitted on Windows platforms when called from a Windows Service. Doing so can be seen as a security vulnerability. This can be overridden, but I would suggest that doing so is not a good idea. All files needed to run your app should be made available locally. If files exist on a remote machine, they should be temporarily brought to the machine (e.g. using ftp, sftp, etc) where they are needed and removed later if necessary. If you are running a newer version of Forms, the Forms runtime process belongs to a Windows Service, even if indirectly as a child.
4. Calling a jar directly is not the proper way to call a java app. Refer to the following:
http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/deployment/jar/run.html

Call a Java Application from MicroFocus COBOL (in UNIX environment)

Hello,
Could you please let me know, how to call a Java application from a MicroFocus COBOL application. If anyone has any code samples, that would be of great help.
Thanks in advance,
Tijo.

You generally can't cause a program to be executed on a different >server. Basic security, you know. Besides this idea of having the Java >application run on a different server wasn't mentioned in your original >post. That leads me to believe we don't have the whole story.So I think you need to step back and find out what are the requirements. For example: Does your program need to start this Java application running, or is it already running and your program needs to connect to it somehow?
My program has to start a Java class file, meaning that the Micro Focus COBOL module will call the Java class file. Will it be running on the same machine as your program, or on some other machine?
For both cases, I would like to know the answer.a) Running on the same machine as my program is running.
b) Running on the different machine.
And then there are the questions about whether your program needs to have a conversation with the Java application, or whether it just needs to start it and that's all.
COBOL program has to call a Java class by passing some parameters and Java class in turn process it and return some value back.. Kind of Request and Response model.Plenty of questions to be asked. Go and find out what they are.
Sorry ... if I am not clear on my questions. Anyhow, thank you very much for providing the information.

You can achieve this using LiveCycle PDF Generator JAVA API. You can find required code here:
Adobe LiveCycle * Quick Start (SOAP mode): Converting a Microsoft Word document to a PDF document using the Java API
In parameters:
//Set createPDF2 parameter values
String adobePDFSettings = "Standard";
String securitySettings = "No Security";
String fileTypeSettings = "Standard OCR";
"Standard OCR" file type setting will run OCR on input pdf. In the code, instead of doc file provide a pdf file. Resultant pdf will be searchable PDF i.e OCRed PDF.
Feel feel to ask any further questions.
