Can I use a Forms as a Library to other Forms?

I am converting our Forms 3.0 Application to 9i. I am currently looking to convert via the easiest path so we can start developing with the new technology.
In Forms 3.0, we have a Library of common procedures which is actually a Form. In Forms 3.0, other forms can then call procedures in the Form, similar to the librarys in Forms 9i, 6i etc. I would rather not convert this to a library manually because our Forms 3.0 "Library" is constantly changing. (unless there is an automated way of converting a Form to a 9i Library (.pll)... Even the 9i XML-2-Forms procedures can't handle libraries so I can't even write a Perl Script to do it...)
It looks as if it will let me reference a Form as a library but then I get the following error:
"PDE-PLI011 A tools common schema table is missing from the object store."
Cause: You attempted to create or access a library stored in the database, but the operation failed because a table was missing from the Oracle Tools Common Schema.
Action: Contact your DBA and insure that the Oracle Tools Common Schema is installed properly.
How do I fix this? How do I install the Oracle Tools Common Schema? I cannot find any information on this problem anywhere on the Internet / Oracle Documentation / Forms Help / OTN. Please help if you can...
Cheers,
Tim.

I haven't found the solution to the error message, however, I have found a way to convert my forms 3.0 .inp files to .pll's :)
1. I use a perl script to convert the *.inp to a .pld format (text version of .pll)
a) strip out the Forms 3.0 specific stuff and replace it with procedure headings in a package
b) massage the older Forms 3.0 code such as replace :GLOBAL.dummy with name_in('GLOBAL.dummy')
2. convert pld to pll as follows:
ifcmp90 module=V3FORM_UTIL userid=scott/tiger@orcl module_type=library parse=yes
as for the PDE-PLI011 error... Please reply if you know a fix for this one. It will be useful to know...
Cheers,
Tim.

  • Can i use one JSF component's value for other component in the same page.

    Can i use one JSF component's value for other component in the same page.
    For example
    I have a <h:selectBooleanCheckbox id="myChk"> in my jsf page, i want to access its value for another component like:
    <h:commandButton disabled="#{myChk.checked}" action="myAction" value="myValue" />
    ** "myChk.checked" >> I am just asuming "checked" property is available...

    Bind the checkbox to a UIInput myChk property. Then you can reference this property from the page, e.g.
    <h:selectBooleanCheckbox binding="#{myBean.myChk}" onchange="submit();" />
    <h:commandButton disabled="#{myBean.myChk.value}" action="myAction" value="myValue" />

    We now use Acrobat xi for special active forms we created that include certifications and signature fields, some of the forms are programmed to create other forms, will we have a problem upgrading to DC
    Our users use a form template to create other adobe forms with calculated fields, signature fields (using digital signatures)
    , and buttons. Will we be able to continue developing these forms if we upgrade to Acrobat DC?

    Hi Alex ,
    In general ,you would not have any issues and problems moving to Acrobat DC .It has a different user interface and with more enhanced features .
    You would be able to develop the kind of forms you are referring to .
    You could refer to the following document to get more information about Acrobat DC .

For example, I have just managed to sign into iChat with Gmail (had to resort to this because iChat won't let me log-on with my Mobile Me name), but now it seems iChat will only let me add other Gmail users?  Surely there is a way to log in with Gmail but chat with people on other platforms?
    Any help would be most appreciated.

    Hi,
    Since iChat 4 you have been able to log in to as many AIM or Jabber IDs as you have set up.
    In Lion (iChat 6) they become a combined Buddy list.

  • Can I use Acrobat 11 & FormsCentral to keep info and forms only on my computer or is info kept on a

    I'm planning to upgrade to Acrobat XI specifically for the webforms, data collection and payment options using FormsCentral. But I don't want details stored anywhere but on my computer or host server. So I have several questions before I make my decision.
    1) Is there anyway to use the Forms Central Desktop app to save the forms templates to my hard drive, or do I just need to create my own with Acrobat?
    2) Can I just have the responses and payment information sent directly to me and not saved on the FormsCentral server?
    3) If not: Can I delete the responses and payment details from the FormsCentral server?
    4) I need a way to use this information when my computer is not connected to the Internet, so it needs to be on my computer. I'm not always where I can get Internet access, and when I can, it often is a public WiFi  access (I travel full time.)
    5) I write ebooks and training courses. I will have some affiliates promoting my products. I would like to use this system to make it easy for them to make a sale that tells me which affiliate referred the buyer. Is there a way to use Acrobat forms and FormsCentral to do this without relying on the buyer to enter a code? I'm thinking, possibly, of a form they can add to their website that will take the information and send it to my account. I can't quite figure this out.
    Thanks.

    Sorry for the delayed response. I had one of those disconnect episodes that is one of my reasons for NOT wanting any of my data accessible only from a cloud service. I'm back on now. But lost almost a full day because of this.
    RE: 1) Do you want to create web forms or PDF forms?
    From reading the instructions for Acrobat X, I'm hoping to create a PDF form that I can put on the website, have people fill it out, then when they click "submit" it comes to me in an email. I don't know if the term "web forms" implies anything other than that (such as FormsCentral memebership), but since the instruction manual called them webforms with no mention of FormsCentral, it looks like I can do this much without getting involved with that service. I posted the instructions below so you know what I'm referring to (Acrobat X manual)
    RE: 2) Do you want to collect data in a table-like format or do you want to receiving filled-out PDF forms directly to your email inbox and you manage your own data?
    I'd like to receive the forms by email, then I'll put it into my database. I can make tables or put it in spreadsheets or whatever I want from there.
    RE: Without the subscription & with FormsCentral for Acrobat :...
    - You can't create web forms (HTML forms)
    There is a save to HTML feature in Acrobat X. When I saved a document with a form to HTML format I could open it with a browser, but the form fields didn't show up. Don't know if that because it really doesn't do this, or if I'm so new at this I screwed it up.
    Also, there was some comment about needing a CGI script to collect the information and send it to a database, and that makes sense to me, though I don't know how to use CGI. I have a CGI something or other available through my hosting service. Maybe that's what I need to learn to use.
    Here are the instructions for v.X
    Home / Using Acrobat X Pro / Forms / Publishing interactive web forms
    Add submit functionality
    Submit Form Selections options
    Use the Submit A Form action to send form data to an email address or to a web server by specifying a URL. You can also use the submit button to send other files back to a server or database. For example, you can attach scanned images or files to a form. The files are submitted along with the rest of the form data when you click the Submit button.
    If your PDF form contains an email-based submit button, you can use the Distribute workflow to facilitate distributing the form to others. 
    Select Tools > Forms > Edit, then select Button from the Add New Field list, and create a button.
    Double-click the button to open the Button Properties dialog box.
    Click the Actions tab, and select Mouse Up from the Select Trigger menu.
    Select Submit A Form from the Select Action menu, and then click Add.
    In the Submit Form Selections dialog box, type an entry in Enter A URL For This Link:
    To send the form data to a web server, enter the destination URL.
    To send the form data to an email address, enter mailto: followed by the email address. For example, type mailto:[email protected]
    Make additional changes to the available options, and then click OK to close the dialog box.
    Change settings on other tabs in the Button Properties dialog box as needed, and then click Close.

  • Can I use NOW() to auto-enter data on a form?

    Hi,
    I want to use a form in Numbers (for iPad) for rapid data entry. The the time of observation is a field of interest.
    Can i use the NOW() function to register the time the record is created, but then not update?
    In my experimentation so far, I have a field which is set to =NOW(). It works in the instant that a record is created but all of the values seem to change in all of the previous records when the table is active or a new record is created.
    Is there some additional trick to get it to register NOW() just at the moment that the record is created and then become a static reference, or am I asking too much of Numbers?

    Hi dh,
    Numbers 3.1 on a MacBook with OS X 10.9.1
    NOW updates whenever a change is made (or the document is reopened).
    Insert =NOW() and press enter to record the time.
    Immediately copy that cell, then Edit > Menu > Paste Formula results. That will convert it to Actual instead of a Formula.
    Typing a value into a cell anywhere (here 1 is typed into C2) will update Now, but not update the Paste Formula Results.
    NOW anywhere in the document will also update
    Sheet 1, both NOW cells updated
    Sheet 1-1, both NOW cells updated just by typing 1 into Sheet 1 Table 1 C2
    Regards,
    Ian.

    Two things that are not clear
    - I think it is not possible to have iTunes running at the same time on two Macs in the discribed setting.

    Anyone with experience?
    I think what you mean is that it's not possible for two Macs to access the same iTunes library (ie. the same collection of media files) at the same time. From my research, this seems to be the case, and that's not my issue.
    In my particular situation -- one that i'm sure is shared by many others -- my partner and i have separate user accounts on the same Mac, +entirely sharing a single iTunes Library+ (ie. same media files, same playlists, etc., as if we were a single user) and as long as we remember to quit iTunes whenever we walk away from the Mac (allowing the other to log in and launch iTunes and access our common library), this is not a problem.
    And that is when my particular problem arises: when we launch iTunes, we are often asked to choose a Library (a series of navigations that my partner isn't entirely comfortable with), and occasionally the Data folder on the TimeCapsule is unavailable.
    As for the wireless connection to our library, this has not so far proven to be an issue. Depending on what other activities are going on at the time (ie. TimeMachine backups or background Internet activity, i presume), i have only rarely experienced brief interruptions in music streaming from the TimeCapsule (<1 second). In fact, last night, we watched a movie on the laptop, with the file streaming from the TimeCapsule, and it only hesitated a few times, and again for less than a second.

  • Can i use more than one iTunes library

    i have just moved from mexico to UK, can i change my store from mexico to UK with the same ID ?

    Yes.  Go to the home page of the iTunes Store and click on Change Country, and choose UK.
    Once you give it your UK credentials (credit card with UK billing address) you can start making purchases from the iTunes UK Store with your present ID.
    You do not need to start a new iTunes library.  You can simply have your new purchases add to your existing iTunes library.

    Buy one hard drive for TimeMachine, large as possible for maximum amount of saved states, keep it connected more often so it updates more often to recover deleted files.
    Buy one hard drive the same size or slightly larger to clone your boot drive to it, it will be a hold option key bootable clone in case your boot drive fails to boot. Update it before doing anything major to your machine. Keep it disconnected in case of malware so it doesn't get infected or delete your files.
    Buy one hard drive for extra storage if your boot drive is getting full for instance.
    Buy one hard drive to backup the extra storage drive and treat it like the clone, make sure you have clean extra storage drive before connecting and updating it.
    Label and date each drive, your memory will fail you and you'll accidentally overwrite a drive.
    Keep your drives separate and in their respective purposes, in other words do not use partitions or use TimeMachine to backup other drives.
    Never use Filevault, it's cracked, it's worthless, impossible to recover data and you'll have to give up the password for repair or customs/searches anyway. Use a external hardware based encrypted drives and USB Iron Keys. This way your sensitive data is off the machine and can be used with another machine.
    Despite how many drives and backups, it's good to also make burned and labeled DVD's of your most important files like music for instance when you first get them. It's because sectors fail on hard drives and takes out your data and thus on all backups made afterwards. With burned DVD's it's permanent, unless you scratch it, melt it or loose it.
    Hardware also fails, more often than software because it's moved/abused while in operation.
    If you lose your TM drive, you ALSO lose what's on the other partitions on the drive or data that TM drive was backing up from other drives.
    Drives are cheap, data is not. Protect the data. Because it's a fortune trying to recover lost data off a dead drive.

  • How can I use fonts found in iDVD 08 in other programs?

    I created a DVD using 6.0 Themes, Pass Through in particular, by exporting a slideshow movie from iMovie 06 and it looks great. Thank you's to forum members for the help I needed to resolve issues. Deleting the plist files and burning at 2 times speed did the trick to problems I encountered. But here's one I've been spending lots of time on: I used the font, Humana Serif Md ITC TT, on the DVD and I would like to use it on the printed cover, however, I can't access it from any other program. I've used Spotlight to no avail and it does not present itself on the list of available fonts on any other program I have. How can I use that font in Pages to use on my printed DVD cover?

    Kool! I just learned something new myself. (thanx Niel)
    It's essential that you do exactly as stated above while holding down the option key in the instructions that were kindly provided above. The option key serves to copy these files to an alternate location if I'm not mistaken. Holding down any other key but Option may have an unintended effect on the application itself.
    So please do exercise caution while working within the Resources folder / showing package contents.
