Calling shared objects in unix from Forms 6i and 10g

I would like to know how to call shared objects in unix from Froms 6i and 10g. Can anybody help in this regard? Your help is very well appreciated.

Hi,
Do you have any 11i instance where those custom forms are used? If yes, you will have to copy those forms from 11i to R12 instance, open the forms using Forms 10g builder, compile it and upload it back to the server.

Forms 2.1 calling shared object libraries

Can Forms 2.1 on Solaris 2.6 make calls to shared object
libraries? What are the limitations / issues?
I have a large legacy COBOL program which I would like to
restructure and capture the business rule implementations into
shared object libraries. I would then like to implement a new UI
(character or GUI) for part of the system in Forms. I would
consider using forms built in features for getting data from the
database but all inserts updates and deletes will go through the
business rule layer implemented in COBOL and deployed as shared
object libraries on unix.
Any and all help is appreciated.

I have used Foreign Function Interface call (FFI) in Forms 5.0
to call function in Dynamic Linking Library (DLL) on Windows/NT.
You may be able to do the same thing (use FFI) to call shared
object libraries on Solaris.

Hotkey (Ctrl+B) is not working after migration from Forms 6i to 10g

Dear Gurus,
Need your help regarding the following problem:
After migrating from Forms 6i to 10g (Rel 2), Ctrl+B (used to list the blocks in a form) hotkey is not working anymore (all other hotkeys are working fine). I've checked my FMRWEB.RES and it contains an entry for Ctrl+B:
66 : 2 : "Ctrl+B" : 70 : "Block Menu"
Additional Information:
OS: AIX
NLS_LANG = UTF8
fmrweb_utf8.res also contains the same text for Ctrl+B as above.
I tried to reproduce it on my Windows Machine (with NLS_LANG set to AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1) and its not working as well. I don't have right to put move files on AIX server but i can try anything (on my local system) suggested by the Oracle gurus.
Best Regards,

Dear Gerd,
"are you sure, that it is the hotkey"
Yes, i am dead sure. Since:
(1) It was working fine in forms 6i
(2) If you run a form and select Help => Keys, you will see Ctrl+B on the top of list
The problem is its not taking into account the keys which i am defining in the file (although i am following the same procedure detailed on metalink.oracle.com).

Occasional ora-6502 using forms 6i and 10g

Hi all.
We have been experiencing some weird and unexpected ora-6502 errors in some of our forms 6i modules running against 10g (rel 1 or 2).
Forms modules are correctly functioning and for some reason, one day an ora-6502 error suddenly pops up.
Now the weirdest thing is that after you put some messages on the trigger, so you can track down where the error is coming from, it disappears.
I know that this may sound hard to believe, but it has happened several times. All we do is put some message built in, recompile all, and the error is gone (for a while).
So my questions are:
- Is this a known issue beween forms 6i and 10g Db?.
- Is there a patch on Metalink ( we use Forms [32 bits] Versión 6.0.8.26.0 (Producción))
- A workaround?
and most important
- Have anyone been exposed to a similar situation?
Regards, Luis ...!

Now the weirdest thing is that after you put some messages on the trigger, so you can track down where the error is coming from, it disappears.Sounds like the form has not been "clean compiled" against the server on which it is running. Try a "Compile All", which causes all previously compiled program units to be compiled fresh.
Or even better, clean out all the compiled code from your fmb before compiling the fmb on the server where it runs.
See this topic: Re: Why does this happen - find ';', replace with ';'?

Forms 6i and 10g co-existance

Hi,
I have a machine running windows XP Pro.
Does anyone know if forms 6i and 10g (running forms services) can co-exist on the same machine? and are there any potential pitfalls (ie order of installation etc).
Thanks,
Martin

You should be able to install this ok so long as you keep them in different Oracle_homes...
At a push I would recommned installing 6i first.

How to Read the Timestamp of a File on Unix from Form?

If you have a file located on UNIX operating, what is the best way to read the time stamp (the date that file has been created) of that file from Oracle SQL, SQL*plus, or Developer Forms 6i/9i/10g?

Thanks Robin for the reply! Your suggestion seems to be good!
However, We found a solution now! I would like to share with you the way we did, in case anyone out there need the solution:
In SQL*Plus, we created a Java Source below:
CREATE OR REPLACE AND COMPILE JAVA SOURCE NAMED "FileDate"
AS
import java.io.File;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;
public class FileDate {
public static String GetDate(String strFilePath) {
String ReturnValue = null;
if (strFilePath == null || strFilePath.length()==0)
// do nothing
else
File aFile = new File(strFilePath);
if (aFile.exists())
long lngTime = aFile.lastModified();
Date aDate = new Date(lngTime);
SimpleDateFormat fmtDate =
new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss");
ReturnValue = fmtDate.format(aDate);
fmtDate = null;
aDate = null;
aFile = null;
return ReturnValue;
-- Then we created a wrapper to call the Compiled Java above:
CREATE or REPLACE FUNCTION FileDate_GetDate(FilePath IN STRING)
RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
LANGUAGE JAVA
NAME 'FileDate.GetDate(java.lang.String) return int';
-- Then we created a database package:
-- Package Spec:
PACKAGE sap_dnld AS
FUNCTION get_file_date2 (s1 varchar2) RETURN VARCHAR2;
END sap_dnld;
-- Package Body:
PACKAGE BODY sap_dnld AS
FUNCTION get_file_date2( s1 VARCHAR2 )
RETURN VARCHAR2 AS LANGUAGE JAVA
NAME 'FileDate.GetDate(java.lang.String) return int';
END sap_dnld;
-- Then we tested the whole thing in SQL*Plus:
set serveroutput on;
declare
x varchar2(2000);
begin
x := sap_dnld.get_file_date2;
dbms_output.put_line(x);
end;
-- Then we called the function from the package using a procedure from the form:
PROCEDURE Find_date IS
BEGIN
:control.file_date := sap_dnld.get_file_date2('directory1/subdirectory/filename.txt');
END;

Call COPY FILES window dialog from FORMS 6i

Hello.
I'm working with FORMS 6i and I need to make script witch will copy all files from CD to HARD DRIVE ...
Now I'm using this command to call XCOPY DOS command and this working great...
Win_Api_Shell.WinExec( 'cmd.exe /c xcopy /y /e '||xcopy_sting, WIN_API.SW_SHOWNORMAL, false );
BUT....
I have FROM & TO destinations parameters and I want to use windows copy dialog witch will be opened by button press automaticaly..
( I mean on SMALL COPY DIALOG WINDOW when you pressing CTRL+C)
TNX

You can use a host command to perform the copy.
declare
ls varchar2(299);
begin
ls :='copy '|| source dir || destination dir ;
Host(ls);
End;
And you can create 2 text items in the form and use the get_file or win_api_dialog to get the directory name.
Use it in the above

Calling Reports from Forms (run_report_object and then Web.Show_document)

Hi all,
we are in the process to prepare a Forms-Migration from 6i to 10g and like probably most of the other Forms-Customers we also use Reports.
We have setup a test-scenario with Forms/Reports Standalone Installation. So we have some Forms running and we are now starting to test reports.
I have created a Test-Form to call run_report_object in the documented way. That means described in the white paper. set the parameters, then call the run_report_object BUILTIN and when the job is finished, I do a call to the Web.Show_Document BUILTIN with "getjobid". As destype I use "CACHE"
So far so good, that works like a charm.
But after seeing the output in the browser, I can use the URL as a template and only change the jobid and then I can see all other reports as well, whether the output is from me or not. Even worse if I change the URL to use the command "showjobs" I can see a nice list with all the output and can click and see all of them.
Is there a way to secure this in an easy way.
I have read the white papaer about securing the use of WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT with a cookie, but that sounds to me that it is meant if I want to run the report with that builtin which isn't the case I am willing to run the Report with "RUN_REPORT_OBJECT" which is secure enough to me, but the output of all jobs can be seen from anybody.
Because we use the Forms/Reports Standalone Installation (because of License-Costs, ...) Single-Sign_on is no option for us we only want a situation where we can do the same as before.
Run a report, see the output and nobody else can see it.
If anybody has an idea how to do it, that would be great.
Thanks,
Mark

thanks for the answers,
but I'm still thinking that there is no "easy" Migration-Solution for our request.
Running a report and after doing whatever needs to be done (read, print, ...) and don't care about additional security because nobody else can read it.
But that might be the price for the bunch of new features in the "Web"-World were you never know where your application runs and you have to secure a lot more stuff then before.
Anyway I think we proceed with a combination out of the adviced Metalink Note : 437246.1. We can set the expiration-parameter, we cannot set diagnostic=NO because we use Run_Report_Object but we can change httpd.conf and we reject all calls to showmap, showjopbs, etc.
I'm not sure whether we need the rewrite part, but we'll see.
Thanks,
Mark

How do I connect from forms 6i and SQL Plus to Oracle XE?

I have successfully installed Oracle database XE on my work labtop. This machine has already oracle forms,reports,sqlplus installed locally. I have tnsnames.ora file in orant/net80/admin directory. I have created an entry in this tnsnames.ora file copied from the tnsnames.ora file created during the installation of XE in the directory where xe is installed.
I can connect to XE from dos promt by typing sqlplus system/password@xe. But if I go to sqlplus 8.0 (Windows) and try to connect , I get a tnsnames error. Same as when connecting from forms.
Someone please advice. Also If i create an application using Oracle Database Xe
and Oracle forms 6i , Is there any way that I can embedd the database in the forms to distribute as a package.?
Thanks
George

George,
please give us a bit more details:
1) You are on Windows XP SP2, right?
2) please post the result of your tnsping80
D:\Oracle>tnsping80 xe
TNS Ping Utility for 32-bit Windows: Version 8.0.6.3.0 - Production on 12-JAN-2006
08:24:27
(c) Copyright 1997 Oracle Corporation. All rights reserved.
Attempting to contact (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=localhost)(PORT=1521))
OK (360 msec)3) In which order did you install the oracle software, XE was last, right?
4) Can you still connect using Forms to your other databases? Is everything else still working, just the connect to XE doesn't work?
5) please post your PATH variable:
echo %PATH%
6) please post the XE entry from your tnsnames.ora
7) please post the result of your "normal" tnsping:
tnsping xe
Also If i create an
application using Oracle Database Xe
and Oracle forms 6i , Is there any way that I can
embedd the database in the forms to distribute as a
package.?Sure, XE is meant to be embedded by other solutions. I guess Oracle will have detailed documentation on how to create a package, preinstall the necessary schemas and objects and distribute it together with your forms and reports.
