Called form obscured by caller

I have an application that has been converted from 6i to 10g. Most of the forms were developed in much earlier versions of Developer.
There are some newer forms that were developed in 6i. They all worked fine together in 6i but in 10g, when an older form calls a newer one, the new form is displayed behind the caller and no amount of clicking will bring it to the front - it always remains obscured by the calling form(s).
I can probably get the newer form to show by hiding the caller but this is not how the rest of our application works and as I say it worked fine in 6i - any ideas.
Thanks

No. There are no messages being displayed and there is no on-error trigger in the form. Other than the form being obscured by the one that called it the form works fine!
BTW the original forms are all in a character co-ord system whereas the new ones are real - I tried changing one of the new ones to character but it made no difference.

  • Questions on BPS BAPI calls and PDF forms

    I will need to create a button on a BPS form and that button is supposed to call a BAPI.  One of the buttons will create a PDF of the form (using the contents of the form) and print said form to a 'default' printer.  The issue is that not all cFolder users will have an ECC logon name.  What am I to do in this instance?  Will I need to pass some type of credentials to the ECC backend in order to run this BAPI?
    Also, how can I get the contents of the form(s) to the BAPI?  I assume that I will need to create the PDF in the code of the BAPI.  Please be patient with me as this is my first time to work with cFolders and/or BPS.
    Regards,
    Davis

    Hi Davis,
    Well, if you are able to log on the BPS application (thus, a Web Interface if I'm not mistaken) then it means that some user is logged on the ABAP-side. It is either a "personal" user or a technical (common) user, that is used for anonymous access.
    You will certainly be able to track down this user with the SM04 transaction.
    You should be able to add a button to the BPS page. One idea would be to call an URL with an ICF service behind that will be able to process the parameters contained in this URL.
    It will be this very ICF service that will call the BAPI.

  • 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.
    PROCEDURE OPEN_PDF(vFile IN VARCHAR2)
    IS
    vcServerApp varchar2(40);

    My primary skill is PL/SQL but the only information I found on Oracle's site to call a web service from a 10g Form was creating a jar file and importing the java class. Since I don't want to ask our corporate IT to make changes on the UNIX box for the jar files I went a different route.
    I use UTL_HTTP.BEGIN_REQUEST to call a URL then load I load the data to a table as a CLOB since we have more than 4000 characters. Now I need to parse the XML and load it into a form. I have never done this so if there is a helpful site please let me know. I have looked at several sites but none do what I want.

  • Fields appear as "Read Only" in an Int.Form called from a WD

    Hi Experts!
    I am having a doubt in an Adobe Int.Form, that is called from a WD application.
    The fields that are in my Form, always appear as a "read only". It is not possible to modify anything there.
    Here, I describe the steps that I follow.
    I create a very simple WD application. In its WD View, exist an unique Object (Adobe Interactive Form).
    In that object, I set the properties:
    "Data source": a context variable type "my structure". "My structure", is a simple structure with a couple or three fields, let´s say PERNR, BUKRS, WERKS... It is linked to the Form Interface (ABAP DICTIONARY-BASED INTERFACE). So in this way, the link between my WD and the AdobeInt.Form is working.
    "PDF Source": a context variable type XSTRING.
    "Template Source": here I have set my Int.Form. Currently, it only contains a couple of fields
    "Enabled": True.
    "Read Only": False.
    In the AdobeForm, I have drag & droped those 2 or 3 fields, save it, and activate it. I guess nothing more is needed, for my test.
    And at last, in the View´s method WDDOINIT, I am reading one of those fields, let´s say the employee number (PERNR), and I set by hardcoding its number (let´s say -> 00000001).
    Until here, everything seems to work fine. When I launch the WD test, the Adobeform appears, at the moment, with only one of my fields (Employee - PERNR), and its value is filled in with '00000001'.
    But now, I would like to write something by myself. And when I try to do it, it is not possible! Field PERNR, is displayed as a "READ ONLY".
    Someone knows what is happening here? I guess it should be possible, to activate as a "EDITABLE" that field in my Form.
    So here is my doubt.
    Am I doing anything wrong? Or am I doing any mistake?
    Thank you very much in advance!

    Finally I think I have found the problem.
    In the View where I am printing the ADOBEFORM, it is needed this code under the method WDDOMODIFYVIEW.
    method WDDOMODIFYVIEW .
      DATA: LV_INTERACTIVE_FORM   TYPE REF TO CL_WD_INTERACTIVE_FORM,
                 LV_METHOD_HANDLER     TYPE REF TO IF_WD_IACTIVE_FORM_METHOD_HNDL.
      LV_INTERACTIVE_FORM ?= VIEW->GET_ELEMENT( 'INT_FORM' ). "   adobeform object in view
      IF LV_INTERACTIVE_FORM IS NOT INITIAL.
          LV_METHOD_HANDLER ?= LV_INTERACTIVE_FORM->_METHOD_HANDLER.
          LV_METHOD_HANDLER->SET_LEGACY_EDITING_ENABLED( ABAP_TRUE ).
          LV_METHOD_HANDLER->SET_HIDE_NAVIGATION_PANEL( ABAP_TRUE ).
          LV_METHOD_HANDLER->SET_DISABLE_PRINT_BUTTON( ABAP_TRUE ).
          WD_THIS->M_METHOD_HANDLER ?= LV_INTERACTIVE_FORM->_METHOD_HANDLER.
          WD_THIS->M_METHOD_HANDLER->SET_HIDE_TOOLBARS( ABAP_TRUE ).
        ENDIF.
    endmethod.

    Hello,
    Hello, are you sure you have your ADS credentials configured correctly and valid? I guess you know that is the only difference between clicking enabled on true or false. If you are not sure, you can use SE38, search for FP_* and pick some reports to check the licencing. The names of the reports are good enough to recognize the right one.
    Or maybe that is a security problem? Have you checked the ADS_ERROR string? Did you use the ADS trace?
    check: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/2c/241a427ff6db2ce10000000a1550b0/content.htm

  • ON-LOGON does not fire in Form B, called from Form A

    We have a situation like this. We are using Forms (Forms [32 Bit] Version 10.1.2.0.2 (Production)).
    We migrated this application to Forms 11.2.0.1.0. Problem is that the ON-LOGON trigger does not fire in the 2nd level forms. Our application work like this.
    (a.) User double-clicks URL icon.
    (b.) Form A is opened without asking for un/pwd. We put a NULL; in the ON-LOGON of A.fmb.
    (c.) This is the main form of the application. This has a canvas with 6 buttons. Each button will launch it's own separate application with it's own menu.
    (d.) Now user presses button in A. This launches Form B. We use
    Run_Product(FORMS, 'B', SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM, pl_id, NULL);              (e.) Now, in Form B, in the ON-LOGON trigger we have put code to show the logon screen and login to the DB.
    Problem is, this works in 10g Forms. But we had to replace the RUN_PRODUCT with a CALL_FORM after migrating to 11g since RUN_PRODUCT is not supported in 11g.
    Problem is that when you use CALL_FORM to call Form B, the ON-LOGON of the Form B does not fire. We tried OPEN_FORM and NEW_FORM with different parameters, but the behavior is the same. i.e. ON-LOGON does not fire.
    What is the solution or workaround for this please.

    Michael Ferrante (Oracle) wrote:
    If you need to open another form you should use CALL_FORM, OPEN_FORM, or NEW_FORM. In these cases, ON-LOGON will not automatically fire because the connect info is passed from the calling form. If you need to login from the called form then you need to need to programatically cause that to occur. Refer to the LOGON and LOGON_SCREEN built-ins in the Builder help for more info. You can fire these from almost any trigger you like, for example in a WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE trigger or where ever is appropriate for you application.Michael, we tried using the CALL_FORM, OPEN_FORM & NEW_FORM.
    Also, there is NO connection to the DB, when B is called from A since we don't login to the DB in A (ON-LOGON has NULL;).
    So, if there is no DB connection when B is called, shouldn't the ON-LOGON in B fire?
    We tried firing the LOGON_SCREEN and LOGON in the WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE. But, for some reason, the we don't get the menu (we get a menu not found error). We tried correcting the paths and other things but still no solution.

  • Forms 6.0/user_exit call to DLL--Thoughts anyone?

    I have 6.0 Forms that call to DLL functions where the DLL was built using MS VC++ 5.0--works fine.

    It has been a while since I fixed this problem, but I think you have to run FRM50SEC.sql and then grant select on the FRM50_ENABLED_ROLES view to your target audience.

  • Returning multiple values from a called tabular form(performance issue)

    I hope someone can help with this.
    I have a form that calls another form to display a multiple column tabular list of values(needs to allow for user sorting so could not use a LOV).
    The user selects one or more records from the list by using check boxes. In order to detect the records selected I loop through the block looking for boxes checked off and return those records to the calling form via a PL/SQL table.
    The form displaying the tabular list loads quickly(about 5000 records in the base table). However when I select one or more values from the table and return back to the calling form, it takes a while(about 3-4 minutes) to return to the called form with the selected values.
    I guess it is going through the block(all 5000 records) looking for boxes checked off and that is what is causing the noticeable pause.
    Is this normal given the data volumes I have or are there any other perhaps better techniques or tricks I could use to improve performance. I am using Forms6i.
    Sorry for being so long-winded and thanks in advance for any help.

    Try writing to your PL/SQL table when the user selects (or remove when deselect) by usuing a when-checkbox-changed trigger. This will eliminate the need for you top loop through a block with 5000 records and should improve your performance.
    I am not aware of any performance issues with PL/SQL tables in forms, but if you still have slow performance try using a shared record-group instead. I have used these in the past for exactly the same thing and had no performance problems.
    Hope this helps,
