Call forms and reports from a hierarchical tree node.

Hello,
I am new in pl/sql programming and I have some dificulties. I have created a hierarchical tree, in order to use it as a menu in an application that I am trying to develope. The problem is that I do not know how can I make the last nodes to be either a form or a report and when somebody double clicks on these nodes the form or the report will run. What is more, should I use the when-tree-node-selected trigger or the when-tree-node-activated?
Thank you in advance,
Vag

Hi ,
In Oracle Forms , a hierarchical tree is developed through the use of a sql statement and column which defines the order of leaves...
Visit the on-line help of Forms10g to find out the details , and the triggers as well...
Something else...post this question to Oracle Forms to get more detailed answer...
Regards,
Simon

    Thank you very much for your reply. I tried what you said and managed to create a when-tree-node-activated trigger that works fine. The only problem is that I do not know how to find the last 3 characters of every node in order to make the form understand if it is a form or a report. I mean that the name of each node maybe of different length so I do not know how exactly to use the substr().
    Thank you

  • HST50: Unix - How Headstart calls forms and reports uppercase/lowercase from a Menu

    We are migrating a 'in production' Headstart generated application from Windows to Unix.
    We had to a little time in setting the lowercase implementation names, setting the prefs to generate lowercase file.....
    So good so far. When testing the application on Unix, all files are lowercase, the Forms start without a problem but the Reports won't start.... Renaming the report files to uppercase works fine.
    Going through the Headstart code for calling Forms and Reports I noticed the following:
    When calling Forms the qmslib50.qms$form.call procedure is invoked. In this procedure the follwoing statement is used:
    l_form_name := lower(p_form_name) So only lowercase will be found....
    For calling Reports from the Lauch Report Form the qms0012l.qms$report.run procedure is invoked.
    This procedure calls fill_par_list where the l_module_name is set. But in this procedure no uppercase or lowercase is used......
    Not consequent I think !!
    Is this done for a specific reason ?
    PS: Change qms0012l and it works fine.

    Hi,
    cannot use run_report_object here cause I cannot create a report object in menu (like how we can do it in forms).
    Create a generic named Report node in the forms that you reference from the RunReport object request. This way you can run Reports from a menu

  • How To Start Forms and Reports From Start Command

    Hi All,
    How to start Oracle Forms and Reports in Oracle8i My OS is Windows 2000.Please tell the procedure to get into forms and reports.
    Otherwise we have to install other software for Forms and Reports.
    Thanks
    Sujan

    Sujan,
    what does the database have to do with starting Forms and Reports ? If you are on Wondows2000 then navigate to the \bin directory if the Oracle Home you installed Oracle9iDS to. Type ifbld90 for Forms and rwbuilder for Reports design environment.
    If your ability to start Forms and Reports from the command line is your only exit criteria in evaluating software for a project , how far will you go with it?

  • Migrating Oracle forms and reports from 6i to 10g Application server on Uni

    HI Guys,
    We are migrating from Oracle forms and reports 6i to 10g.
    We will be having application server on Unix box.
    I understand following will be the changes i will have to do in this respect -
    1. Fonts are to be revisited only Java fonts are supported.
    2. Obsolete items, function calls, triggers are to be removed.
    My question is since this application can be cross platform application,
    Can anyone provide me with changes that I will have to do with configuration files like -
    1. Formsweb.cfg,
    2. forms.conf
    3. default.env
    4. registry.dat
    Keeping in mind that the application server will be on unix box.
    Thanks,
    Av.

    Java fonts are only supported for the Forms version.
    You can use your own fonts for Reports however, there is some legwork to do this. I know because I just went through it.
    If you will only being using the PDF output (which for me replaced the Preview mode that existed in 6i), then you have to install the TTF for the missing font, an AFM (use the ttf2pt1 utility to generate the AFM file, but make sure you remove the AFM extension when moving it to Unix). You'll want to use the PDF Subset in the uifont.ali (which exists under the ORACLE_HOME/guicommon/tk/admin directory and add the line underneath the PDF Subset "Font Family Name"="TTF Font Name" The font family name is found when you open the AFM file in textpad or wordpad for the font you generated. This is what you enter. The TTF Font Name is the name the TTF font. You'll have to restart Reports Server after this.
    If printing to the printer directly is an option you must have, I will tell you it does not work in Linux right now. You can print to the printer but if the font doesn't exist on the internal memory of the printer, it won't work. There are 3rd party utilities like ORARRP and PDFPrint that can take care of this but, each has its own limitations. The one thing I found with ORARRP is if you generate a Report with an RRPA file extension and open it on Windows, it works great, the printer dialog comes up asking you what printer you want to print too. However, if you call this in Linux/Unix with the filename, it brings it up in the web browser but doesn't prompt you for your printer to print too automatically. So, for me, it's a show stopper. My only other option is to install the fonts on the printer that are missing.
    As for the files you want to change, you'll obviously have to make changes to the formsweb.cfg, default.env, forms.conf. I have to modify the reports.sh for some PL/SQL attached libraries to make sure it picks them up. I did have to modify Registry.dat.
    There is alot of work but mainly forms wasn't too bad, unless you had fonts that weren't supported. Usually there is another font that you can use to replace the old one but you have to know which fonts exists on the server and try all the keys on the keyboard to find the corresponding keystroke.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to deploy Forms and Reports from 6i to Web Base

    I am using Forms 6i in client/server mode, I want to upgrade my platform to Forms 10g web base. I know that I have to install Application Server, however, I found that there are so many options in the download page, and, I can only find the WebLogic Server.
    I only need to deploy Forms and Reports, what is the minimum requirements (I means what Oracle software) I have to purchase.
    Can you provide also the download link? any document can teach me how to deploy Forms and Reports? (only Forms and Reports)
    Thanks a lot !!!

    From download page http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/htdocs/101202.html you can choose Forms & Reports Services Standalone .

  • How to have RAC accept Forms and Reports connection to non specific node?

    Hi all,
    I have posted this in the Forms forum w/ no result, hoping someone here can help;
    Oracle Forms and Reports services, not the entire app server. Version 10.1.2.0.2, one server
    Oracle database, RAC Version 11.1.0.6.0, 3 nodes
    Instance=RMSTEST
    Nodes = RMSTEST1, RMSTEST2, RMSTEST3
    I can TNSPING RMSTEST w/o issue
    When I have userid in formsweb.cfg = user/pw@RMSTEST we are being prompted when logging into forms and reports to supply the password for the RMSTEST instance, enter the password and we are in.
    So we changed this in formsweb.cfg = user/pw@RMSTEST? (?= any of the nodes 1-3) and the password prompt is no longer being requested.
    What do I need to do to have Forms and Reports connect to the RMSTEST cluster directly for it to determine which node to connect to instead of having an unbalanced node(s)?
    Thanks,
    Steve

    This is what I have;

    Now my requirement is....
    i have to create a user so that they can able to login thru putty from their windows xp pc.
    they can able to copy/delete the file
    they can able to compile the forms,reports, menu
    how can i do that?
    thanks

    Hi!
    I suppose you will find at '$ORACLE_SERVER/.../bin' a script ended by ".sh" which has enviroment values defined since tour installation. This is useful to do your work. (I don't remember his name, but is the same that executable to compile).
    Chiao!

  • Converting forms and reports to 10g

    I am converting both forms and reports from 6i to 10g. Most of the reports work fine, however I am having problems with a few of them. When I run the reports from a URL, they run fine. However, when I try and call them from the forms, I get a REP-188: Reports Server only accepts batch jobs error message. I have looked around for information on what could cause this, but have only found the following:
    How to use the BATCH commandline parameter when moving from RWCLI60 (6i) to RWCLIENT (9i) ?
    When using RWCLIENT and the BATCH parameter is passed, the value always has to be YES. The Reports Server only accept batch jobs and cannot handle interactive requests in Oracle9i Reports. If you are passing BATCH=NO you will get an error: REP-188: Reports Server only accept batch jobs
    I don't specify BATCH=NO anywhere, so am unsure of what is causing this problem.
    We are using Mode=Batch, Destype=Cache for all 20 reports that are run from forms. 6 out of the 20 give us the REP-188 error. We have also tried Mode=Runtime, but this does not help.
    Please advise.

    I'm not in a position YET to help you work out a solution. But I propose a trade.
    If you can help me get my reports server going (see my post of today 19th) then I promise to help investigate your problem.

  • Query on install Oracle AS Forms and Reports Services

    Hi All,
    I want to install 'Oracle Internet Application Server Products - Forms and Reports', I referenced the 'Forms and Reports Services Installation Guides 10g Release 2(10.1.2) for Windows B16392-02'.
    I install successfully up to Chapter 5.
    When I jump into Chapter 6 of the release (Configuring Forms and Reports Services to Use an Oracle Application Server Infrastructure), I followed the guideline but could not see my AS has any way to allow me to configure Oracle Identity Management/OracleAS Metadata Repository/Starting OPMN Services/Testing the Configuration.... Is it because my AS is just for Forms and Reports and not a full feature one? How I can test my AS is working?
    On the other hand, is it possible to migrate forms and reports from old version like Developer 2000 4.5 to 10g? Any reference or suggestion?
    And what I need to do more with the current AS in order to allow me to upload forms and reports to it? Please kindly advise.
    Best Regards
    AC

    Hi AC!
    There are two versions of Forms and Reports: one standalone and one as part of the Application Server. The second one will offer the Infrastructure. If you use the second one then you will have an Infrastructure after the installation.
    Seems to me that you do not have the complete AS but the standalone version.

  • Weblogic, Forms and reports 11g - help with report server

    Hi Everyone
    To start with i'm very new to forms and reports (3 months!!!) so my question may sound a bit silly.
    At the moment we have 10 apps using forms and about 6 of them using reports. All the reports get run from the forms. We are upgrading forms and reports from 10g to 11g and the dev teams are not willing to recode the forms to pick up ENVID's etc. i have 1 reports server running and have configured to run one of the apps reports but my question is how do i get the other apps to run under that report server, can this be done.
    I have thought about creating a report sever for each app but not sure if this is best practice and a bit over kill.
    Would i be wrong to create a report server for each app.
    Thanks
    Edited by: Zantie on May 11, 2011 2:27 PM

    Hi,
    If both apps are using the same middle-tier home, then forms built-in run_report_object should submit reports to the this url. i.e <protocol://<mid-tier or LBR>:<port>/reports/rwservlet?. Assuming you are using the in-process reports server no need to specify reports_server parameter. Also if the envid is missing, you can move all the .rdf or .rep files to the default reports server directory $mid-tier_home/reports/samples/demo directory.

  • Date format in forms and reports in windows 7

    Are you generating Forms and Reports from Oracle Designer, or using Oracle Developer tools directly?
    If this is a Forms question, try the Forms forum - Forms
    If this is a Reports question, try the Reports forum - Reports
    Either way, or with Designer, the problem is probably that you are allowing the date format to default instead of explicitly specifying a date format. Always specify the date format - you want "DD/MM/YYYY".
