Can I use web.show_document with forms name parameter ?

Hi All,
I need to pass URL to web.show_document but with form name too. Is it possible?
I'd like to do something like web.show_document('url?report=myReport','_blank')
Thanks in advance

Yes, you can use any valid URL within web.show_document

Issue while generating report using web.show_document with https

Hi All,
I am facing some issue while seeing the report using web.show_document as shown below:
https://ucrmskr.apac.nsroot.net:10301/forms/html/001725032_gca.rtf_
In this case the report opens directly without asking for me to save or open or cancel option
whereas if I hit
http://scrmskr.apac.nsroot.net:7801/forms/html/001725032_gca.rtf_
it asks for save or open or cancel option
so that I can save the report to my machine and open in wordpad format
The report generated in the first case is not coming in proper format
Below are my forms.conf mappings:
# Name
# forms.conf - Forms component Apache directives configuration file.
# Purpose
# It should include the weblogic managed server (routing) directives for
# the servers where Forms applications are deployed and other miscellaneous
# Forms component OHS directives.
# Remarks
# This file is included with the OHS configuration under
# $OI/config/OHS/<OHS Node Name>/moduleconf sub-directory.
# virtual mapping for the /forms/html mapping.

Can I use Swing controls with Forms 9i?

Is there a way to use Java Swing controls with Forms 9i via a PJC or something? If so, is there a white paper on it? Thanks.

Yes you can. There is a quick start about PJC here:
http://otn-stage.us.oracle.com/products/forms/htdocs/upgrade/pjc/content.html
And there is also a paper about Forms in the Java World that you should read.
http://otn.oracle.com/products/forms/pdf/forms_in_java_world.pdf
You might want to have a look at the Oracle9i Forms Demos for some code samples as well.

Can I use Web Services with Microsoft Access?

I'm somewhat handy with Microsoft Access (2003 in particular), but not an expert. Macros? No problem. VBA? I'd be hard pressed to code anything from scratch, but I'm not too bad with modifying code/examples to fit my particular scenario. So, if anything about this doesn't ring quite right, now you'll know why. Some years ago I worked with another guy to develop a module that used REST(?) to query some web services at Yahoo!. If that worked, I was hoping that I could do similar things with CRMOD I was thinking, for example, I might want to get the Opportunity Sales Stage for a number of records. And since there are tools for Excel and Word, I thought Access might work, too. As a starting point, I imagine I need to use the Web Services Toolkit for Office 2003. But frankly, I don't even know where to go beyond that.
Am I wasting my time? Any suggestions for an intro to web services?

Probably not through USB.
But likely if its anytihng like the Microsoft Sync in my Ford Explorer you can play audio from it through Bluetooth.
You can read here for compatibilites, and features.
http://www.ford.com/technology/sync/
I connect My iPad to the Sync media center with no issues and can play my musci from the iPad thorugh the car stereo speakers.

Web.show_document() with javascript

Hi Guys,
I'v been searched this forum about web.show_document() with javascript.
I saw some threads said
I can do like
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT ('javascript:window.open("http://www.google.com","","fullscreen=no,titlebar=no,location=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no,status=no,resizable=yes");self.close()','_blank');
and someone said it worked, but it doesn't work in my machine.
also some one said the javascript engine is not included in Form 10.1.2, so I can not use WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT function like above.
My form builder is 10.1.2.0.2 (Production), os is xp sq2 ,ie 6.(ie6 has some tighter security)
I want to get clarification about this function, can i use the javascript on it or not ? I really want the pop up window without toolbar and customize size. I need do some configuration in formweb.cfg also?
Thanks in advance. I appreciated every response.

Hi Jan,
Thanks for your reply. I check the metalink about it.
The first solution is
1. Make forms Developer URL a trusted site in IE to allow script executions.
For that open Internet Explorer->Internet Option-> Security.
Select the "Trusted Sites" Option.
Click on the Sites Button.
Add the Developer Suite URL in that.
for example
http://<Yourmachinename>:8889/
It doesn't work in my machine ,still can not activate the javascript.
The second solution is
2. Place the script invocation code in a html file in Oracle_home/forms/server directory and call it.
For example :
Create a simple form.
In Forms Trigger :
web.show_document('http://<Yourmachinename>:8889/file.html');
In the file.html you may enter the code, for example:
<HTML>
<HEAD>Heading</HEAD>
<BODY>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Javascript">
window.open("http://www.yahoo.com","_self");
</SCRIPT>
</BODY>
</HTML>
It also doesn't work in my machine, the problem is http://<Yourmachinename>:8889/file.html can not be found, even i put it under the Oracle_home/forms/server folder, but i click it directly ,the javascript works. that means the URL http://<Yourmachinename>:8889/file.html is incorrect or I should put the html file into other directory. And I also checked the default.env,FORMS_PATH=D:\DevSuiteHome\forms.
anything wrong with my env?
Do you have any idea about it?
Thanks,
Appcat

Launching a new form using web.show_document

Using 9iAS 9.0.2.1.1. and Forms9i I'm trying to get a form to launch a new browser window and open a new form in it. At present I'm using web.show_document to do this. However, I get an error message stating that 'Connection from new browser window is not supported'. From an earlier thread in this forum I found a possible solution which is to set the session.useCookies to false in the zone.properties, which I have done, but I'm still getting the same error. I've tried restarting the OC4J_BI_Forms OC4J and the HTTP server, but nothing makes any difference. Am I missing something?

If you are attempting to print a report from a when-button-pressed trigger from within a form, you do not have to explicitly specify the server (hostname) nor the port. You can just use what I've found referred to as a virtual path to the server as I have done here:
parm_string := '/reports/rwservlet?config=my_config&report=report_name'
     ||'&desformat=pdf&destype=cache'
     ||'&paramform=no&printjob=no'
     ||'&p_my_user_param1='||v_my_param1
     ||'&p_my_user_param2='||v_my_param2;
web.show_document(parm_string,'_blank');
You can specify a userid/password@connectstring within a named congifuration section of your formsweb.cfg file if necessary, e.g. my_config.
Hope this helps.

To which Forms directory to put a text file to show using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT

Need to show a text file using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT.
In which Forms sub-directory should the text file reside and what is the syntax for the command?
Is it like WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('http://192.949.99.19:8890/forms/abc.txt','_blank');

Hi, I did this
-- My OC4J URL when I run a form is this: http://192.168.11.103:8890/forms/frmservlet
-- I want to open abc.txt. I put abc.txt in dir E:\Ora_Dev_10g_R2\forms which is my Forms home
-- When I try WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('http://192.168.11.103:8890/forms/abc.txt','_blank') it gives
The page cannot be found

Web.show_document() with .csv-Files

Hallo,
when I try to show a .csv-file using web.show_document in MS-Excel I'm facing the following problem:
Depending on the windows-settings (?) before showing the Excel-sheet the browser opens an alert 'open/save file'.
When this alert is activated the web.show-document() is not successfull, that means: it seems that the browser tries to open the new window but it immediatly 'crashes' (I'm using '_blank' as parameter).
When this alert is not activated everything works perfect.
My guess is that it has something to do with whith the javascript-problem under XP-SP2. (i also can't get javascript working together with web.show_document).
Enviroment is: Forms 10g, Windows XP SP2, MS-IE (Mozilla works fine), 10g iDS and iAS
any ideas?
tia
Frank

Hello,
already done, doesn't help.
The odd thing is: when I type the url web.show_document should show directely into the IE (with virtual pathname) the alert shows up, I can choose 'open' and it works (thats the way I get rid of the alert). It seems to me that showing the alert somehow causes the problem in combination with web.show_document.
I have a similar problem with javascipt. When I type it directly into the browser everything works fine, from web.show_document .. no way.
So my guess was that maybe the alert itself uses javascript. I dont know much about java and browsers and so its really only a guess.
The Alert I'm talking about is the following (modulo translation errors):
do you want to open or save the file
Name... / Type... /from....
open/save/cancel -Buttons
checkbox: always ask before opening a file of this type

WEB.show_document with MAILTO in IE8 - Navigation Cancelled message

When generating an email from within Oracle Forms 10g using:
WEB.show_document('mailto:'||'[email protected]'||'?subject='||'test msg'||'&body= 'test body','_SELF');
An IE8 window pops up with a message saying 'Navigation to the webpage was cancelled'.
The test email does appear separately, but if the email is generated a second time, the email will not be generated unless the window saying 'Navigation to the webpage was cancelled' was manually closed before the second email generation.
If we try the same test in our IE7 browser, the email pops up without an IE window coming up in the background (as expected).
We have tried changing the last parameter to _BLANK and also excluding it altogether, neither option works properly in IE8.
What code can I use to generate an email within IE8 & IE7 without the extra browser window appearing in the background?

Ok - so I've had a TAR logged with Oracle since before asking my colleague to post the same query on here.
As of a couple of days ago Oracle were able to reproduce the same issues using a simple test case. Yesterday they came back with the first part of a fix and updated "Note 1075355.1 - How To Use WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT To Open Multiple Pages In The Same Browser" accordingly.
Basically if you are running IE8 on Windows XP and want to use the WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT with mailto to launch an e-mail you need to specify a named window instead of the regular parameters which are: self, parent, top, blank
So you would need to use something as below where the word CUSTOM can be anything.
WEB.show_document('mailto:'||'[email protected]'||'?subject='||'test msg'||'&body=' ||'test body','CUSTOM');
However this does not appear to fix the issue for IE8 when running on Windows 7.
Below are other security settings that were recomended and we tried (but I don't think they had any effect):
1. In IE 8 go to menu Tools -> Internet Options -> Security -> Sites ->
- Add this website to the zone :
mailto
- Uncheck "Require server verifcation (https:) for all sites in this zone."
- Click Add
2. In IE 8 go to menu Tools -> Internet Options -> Security -> Custom level
- Set 'Display mixed content' to Enable.
Anyway hopefully this information may be useful to anyone else experiencing the same issues - I'm kinda surprised that this hasn't come up and I am interested to hear how other people send email from Forms 10G or 11G applications?

Error opening report using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT

Hi
I have a report in pdf format that opens ok by itself. When I use WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT in the when_mouse_click trigger on the item in the form the report doesnt display. Only an IE window with "The page cannot be displayed" message.
Here is the trigger code:
Web.show_document(http://nbotlaguduru.dms.local/export/||FMSLaborChargesalcs20060829132645.pdf)
where FMSLaborChargesalcs20060829132645.pdf is the name of the report I am trying to open.
Here is the URL that appears in the second window that opens:
http://nbotlaguduru.dms.local/export/FMSLaborChargesalcs20060829132645.pdf
this url generates the error message "The page cannot be displayed"
I am using Forms [32 Bit] Version 10.1.2.0.2 (Production)
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.2.0 - Production
With the Partitioning, OLAP and Data Mining options
Report Builder 10.1.2.0.2
ORACLE Server Release 10.1.0.4.2
and I running the forms and reports server on my local machine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Problem when using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT and passing in lexical parameter

Hi,
I got a blank page with error "An error has occured while trying to use this document" when I tried to use web.show_document and passing a lexical parameter to 10g report on 10gAS. The URL in the web.show_document is:
http://<srvname>:<portnum>/reports/rwservlet?server=repserver90&report=myrpt.rdf&destype=Cache&desformat=pdf&userid=<usr>/<pw>@<db>&where_clause=where%20product_type%20in%20('REPORT')
If I change the desformat to htmlcss, it is fine to display the report. But doesn't work with desformat=pdf. The pdf file has been generated in the cache. Why can't it display on the screen.
Also I tried to use double quote the value for where_clause. The pdf report showed up. But it ignored the where clause.
Experts please help.
Ying

I use lexical parameters and they work fine, but I use a parameter list. The code is contained in a form that is called by all forms that wish to run a report. This way you only need the logic for printing in a single form. If you want the form, email me at [email protected]

Can I use web.show_document with forms name parameter ?
