Call Form from Form

Hi All:
Any one can tell me the basic steps for how to call Form from form through push button.
I am using forms& reports6i

You can use open_form/call_from but when one form invokes another form by executing open_form the first form remains displayed, and operators can navigate between the forms as desired. when one form invokes another form by executing call_form, the called form is modal with respect to the calling form. That is, any windows that belong to the calling form are disabled, and operators cannot navigate to them until they first exit the called form.

Calling report from form. Need PDF output

I am calling a report from a form using RUN_PRODUCT. I need to display the form in PDF format. When the user clicks the button in the form to run the report, acrobat reader should open up and the report displayed there. Please help.
Thanks

Thanks for the response. The first part worked. I am able to get the output in PDF format. In the 2nd part where I want to open acrobat and display the output, I am having some trouble with the code. When I compile, it says
win_api_environment.read_registry must be declared. Is there some package I need to attach?
Also, in the After reports trigger, how do I pass vFile (I am assuming this is the PDF file name)?
Thanks
The first thing you'll want to do is pass parameters to the report IE DESTYPE, DESNAME and DESFORMAT where these could be FILE, 'c:\temp\report' and PDF.
Then, you can try this piece of code I wrote (with some help from other people at Metalink and here) sometime back. Now, I call it from forms, but in your case, you'd have to run it in the after report trigger. Since with RUN_PRODUCT you don't know when the report is finished, if you did it from the form, it wouldn't work correctly.

Calling Report From Form To Many Destinations

Hi
I am calling reports from forms using SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY and then run_report_object.
I dont know the destination until runtime of the report which is ok as I can pass this in via my procedure, but if that destination is many ie mail and file what is the best way to distribute the report?
I could call my procedure for each destination but that seems a bit unefficient since the report would be created many times, is there another way?

what about adding a drop-down-list near your report-button where you can choose the destination?
when you click the report-button you simply read the value selected in the drop-down-list and send it to your reports-server too.

Hi,
Thank you for your replay.
The problem have solved.
This my step :

2. Install Jinit version 1.3.1.28.
3. Create report server
3. Compile form, report and pll
4. call report from from with this procedure :

REP 110 & REP 0110 .calling reports from Form 10g(10.1.2.0.2)

Hi All,
We are migrating form from Oracle form 6i to Oracle 10g(10.1.2.0.2). I am calling reports from forms
using Web.Show_Docment(). When we run reports in report builder 10g it works fine.
But when we try to run reports from Forms 10g it throws error which is given below.
We want to run reports from UNIX. After using this url to submit report we get error REP 110 and REP 0110
URL
http://GEM:7777/reports/rwservlet?server=rep_server&report=/u01/forms/QA_Forms10g/GEMREP.rdf+DESTYPE=CACHE+DESFORMAT=HTML+p_user_id=XYZ+p_client=2
ERROR
REP-110: File '/u01/forms/QA_Forms10g/GEMREP.rdf DESTYPE=CACHE DESFORMAT=HTML p_user_id=XYZ p_client=2' not found.
REP-0110: Unable to open file '/u01/forms/QA_Forms10g/GEMREP.rdf DESTYPE=CACHE DESFORMAT=HTML p_user_id=XYZ p_client=2'.
I will really appreciate your help.
Thanks
Sandy

Hello,
You are mixing 2 separators in the URL : & and +
Use only one separator in the URL :
Example :
http://GEM:7777/reports/rwservlet?server=rep_server+report=/u01/forms/QA_Forms10g/GEMREP.rdf+DESTYPE=CACHE+DESFORMAT=HTML+p_user_id=XYZ+p_client=2

Calling JSP from Forms and going back from JSP to Forms

Hi,
We are calling JSP from Forms 6i using show_document
I'd like to go back to tha calling Form from the JSP.
How can I construct the URL that would lead me back to the same Form and Forms session where the JSP was called from?
Thanks,
Arpad

Thanks Shay,
works for me too...
Now:
when I use the "Back" button of my IE to go back from JSP to the Forms session, it works for Jinitiator 1.1.8.19, but if I use Jinitiator 1.3 I got hung...
Any ideas how could I make it work from Jinit 1.3?
Thanks again/

FRM-10242: Cannot call linked-in Forms from Form Builder. error

FRM-10242: Cannot call linked-in Forms from Form Builder.
Cause: The menu designer specified a call to linked-in Forms from within Form Builder.
Action: Notify your DBA.
does anyone know why this happens.
I have this main-menu.. and when i click on one of the submenus which should call the form....i get this error.

Same issue here... Been trying to get this working since a week now. I tried all the solutions like memory heap and all but no luck.
One thing that I would like to know is that, in some threads the resolution was to recompile the INS_FORMS.MK file under /forms/lib32 but with my installation I don't have that "lib32" folder under /forms/ and I can not even find that file anywhere in my entire installation.
I am using 12.1.1 on Windows Server 2008.
Any help or guidelines is greatly appreciated.

Run form from form builder

Hi,
I am using Form 6i and copied Forms60Libraries in my local machine. I am developing form which will be registered with oracle apps. Now I want to run this form locally instead of uploading into server everytime while testing which I don't have access depending on other for this move.
So, Please guide me to run this form from Form Builder locally if there is a way.
Thanks in advance.

As Alex suggested, you will need local copies of all the required Apps resource files (*.pll, *.plx, etc). Running an Apps form from the Forms Builder does not require any special setup on your workstation beyond this. However, even with all the required resource files you will run into errors each time your form calls one of the standard apps built-ins. It has been a while since I've worked with Apps, but I was able to get around the calls to these built-ins by checking if the Form was running on the web or client/server and only calling the Apps built-in if running on the web. It was a bit of a pain to setup, but it was worth being able to test my form localling from the Forms Builder rather than upload the form to the server in order to test the runtime. Here is how I accomplished this. In each trigger that calls an Apps built-in (eg: APP_STANDARD.Event) do the following. Typically, I only needed to add the following code the Form level triggers, but it depended on each form.
/* Example When-New-Form-Instance */
DECLARE
   UI_type   VARCHAR2(15) := Get_Application_Property(USER_INTERFACE);
BEGIN
   IF ( UI_type = 'WEB' ) THEN
      -- Execute Apps built-ins...
      APP_STANDARD.EVENT('WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE');
   END IF;
   -- Perform the rest of your processing here
END;Hope this helps,

Unable to run the form from Form Builder 10g

HI,
I am having a problem with running a form with form builder 10g.
I have create a form with some text boxes to display values in a table.
When i compile and run the form it does not run The error shown is
HTTP 403(Forbidden) You are not authorised to view this page.
The Link used for the above is:
http://127.0.0.1:1740/sWuCqhMKUT1btA1N5cXLCRshkJzmgKRIlCEUFd9RL520LVq0
The port number 1740 changes everytime. I dont know why.
I have started the OC4J instance before starting the Form Builder.
I have made the changes to the runtime preferences in the form builder.
http://localhost:8889/forms/frmservlet
But it doesn't work when i try to run the form from Form Builder.
ie Program-->Run Form
The form works properly when using the 'Run a form on the Web Utility' provided with Developer Suite.
Can anyone please suggest a solution. I have searched the forum but didnot find a solution.
Thanks
V.S.

One of our DBAs has installed the software.
It was a default installation, I believe, as no configuration was done during the installation except for increasing the virtual memory size.
Post installation we changed the tnsnames.ora file and the sqlnet.ora file.
Do i need to configure something ?
Thanks,
V.S.

OC4J service startup & running form from forms builder

Hello everybody,
I have installed Oracle 9i database and Oracle 9i DS on my personal Computer. (O.S. is Windows XP) . Now if I want to run any form from Forms builder I have to everytime start the OC4J service, from oracle-home\j2ee\oracle9i DS\startinst.bat
How to eliminate this? Is there any way to automate this procedure? so that everytime when I open the forms builder, it will automatically start this service or run this bat file.
Or any other way to overcome this prob?
regards
achchani

Hi,
unfortunately the answer is no. If you search the Internet you may find lik of how to make bat execution a Windows Service

Running form from Forms Builder with IE

Forms 11.1.1.4, IE 8, Windows 7 64-bit.
1. Running form from Forms Builder with IE results in Page cannot be displayed. My Java console doesn't even appear so it's not getting to the servlet part.
2. Running same form stand-alone in IE works fine. The URLs are identical (I've cut/pasted them)
3. Running same form from Forms Builder with Firefox works fine. The only change I made was to the runtime preference for the browser location.
Seems like this has to be something to do with the browser configuration that only occurs from Forms Builder. What could it be?

I'm not sure about the specifics of your configuration but I suspect the answer is in formsweb.cfg (and the associated .env file).
I think that generally the configuration that runs for formbuilder is the "default" whereas you could be specifying a different
one on the url not going through formbuilder. (but if you're using em then it's really hard to know what's going on since it seems
to not write changes back to the config and env files until it is stopped. This caused me many days of confusion until I figured it out and
that's why I would highly advise never using it to modify .config or env settings.)
check what jre is installed in ie (tools, manage addons, there is on my machine:
java 2 plugin ssv helper and JQSIEStartDetectorImpl browser helper object.
Not sure which one or both is necessary.
Have your url be a trusted site, unblock it from popup blockage, and most of all stare at your formsweb.cfg default section. It would help
if you specified what was in the url. do you have config=X in there?

Browser blank when running a form from forms builder ??

Hi,
I am trying to run a form from forms builder.
I have a form , compiles, and when I run the form nothing comes up in my browser.
my browser is completely blank.
I am running everything on my local machine.
the steps I took.
- downloaded jinit.exe, installed it.
- started the OC4j
- restarted my browser
- then connect to my DB from forms builder - connects fine
- Run the form
but nothing is coming up when i run my form.
I even restarted my machine and still nothing.
What am I missing ??
Thanks,

This is a fairly common question. If you have the Jnit installed and OC4J running, then I would suggest you add the directory where your FMX is located to the FORMS_PATH in the 'DEFAULT.ENV' file located in the %DEVSUITE_HOME%/forms/server directory. The FORMS_PATH variable defines the SEARCH Path for Forms Applications so Forms can find your .FMX and .PLX files.
You could also modify the URL and specify the Form='your_form_name.fmx', but I prefer adding the directory to the FORMS_PATH so I don't have to add FORMS="" for each different form I'm working on.
Hope this helps,

Hi guys,

Should i add the path to the REPORTS_PATH in the registery ?
What about the Report Server ? should i install it first ?

Hi there,
Most of the things do not come for free. You need to spend some effort in order to obtain results.
Check run_product, run_report_object built-in.
Also, download the documentation library and go through:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/devsuite.html
The example of how to use the run_product directly from the book "Oracle Forms Developer Form Builder Reference, Volume 1 - Release 6i.pdf":
RUN_PRODUCT examples
** Built-in: RUN_PRODUCT
** Example: Call a Report Builder report, passing the
** data in record group ’EMP_RECS’ to substitute
** for the report’s query named ’EMP_QUERY’.
** Presumes the Emp_Recs record group already
** exists and has the same column/data type
** structure as the report’s Emp_Query query.
PROCEDURE Run_Emp_Report IS
pl_id ParamList;
BEGIN
** Check to see if the ’tmpdata’ parameter list exists.
349
pl_id := Get_Parameter_List(’tmpdata’);
** If it does, then delete it before we create it again in
** case it contains parameters that are not useful for our
** purposes here.
IF NOT Id_Null(pl_id) THEN
Destroy_Parameter_List( pl_id );
END IF;
** Create the ’tmpdata’ parameter list afresh.
pl_id := Create_Parameter_List(’tmpdata’);
** Add a data parameter to this parameter list that will
** establish the relationship between the named query
** ’EMP_QUERY’ in the report, and the record group named
** ’EMP_RECS’ in the form.
Add_Parameter(pl_id,’EMP_QUERY’,DATA_PARAMETER,’EMP_RECS’);
**Pass a Parameter into PARAMFORM so that a parameter dialog
will not appear
**for the parameters being passing in.
Add_Parameter(pl_id, ’PARAMFORM’, TEXT_PARAMETER, ’NO’);
** Run the report synchronously, passing the parameter list
Run_Product(REPORTS, ’empreport’, SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME,
FILESYSTEM, pl_id, NULL);
END;
Hope it helps,
Michael

Getting rep-3002 when calling report from form on web

i am getting rep-3002 when i call report from a form on web environment. Report is in character mode. It is coming proper if i change it to bitmap. but my requirement is of character mode. pl. give some solution.

Hello,
If you are running in WinNT/2000 environment, the NT/2000 user which runs the Report Server service must have a printer defined. In the control panel, look at the properties for the Report Server to see what user it runs as. Log in as that user and make sure a default printer is defined.
