Cascade update in forms 10g

I have a master-detail block in my form. My question is When I update one record in master block and commit the corresponding child table records should be updated. I know there exists an integrity constraint between the tables and I am getting an error of "Integrity constraint exists and child record found". Is there any way we can do a work around for this in forms 10g. Your help is appreciated.
thanks

When one record is updated in Master table the corresponding records in child table should also get updated.
For example,
Master Table: Tbl_Mast has colums m_id, s_code, name, sub_name
Records : m_id s_code name sub_name
1 M008.01 sales valid
2 K009.02 marketing invalid
Detail Table: Tbl_Detail has colums detail_id, s_code, name, subname, sale_no
Records : detail_id s_code name subname sale_no
48 M008.01 sales valid 1111
49 M008.01 sales valid 238
50 M008.01 sales valid 400
Now my question is, If I update sub_name = "invalid" where s_code="M008.01" in Tbl_Mast then all the records in detail table Tbl_Detail should be updated as follows
48 M008.01 sales invalid 1111
49 M008.01 sales invalid 238
50 M008.01 sales invalid 400
Now I am getting this following error.
ORA-02292: integrity constraint (A.S_SDC_FK) violated - child record found

now iam making search and update form.on material code item i have WHEN-MOUSE-CLICK-TRIGGER and calling LOV and displaying record. Please show us your code! It sounds like you are adding the found record to your block manually rather than letting Forms query the record. Consquently, Forms will recognize this as a new record instead of an existing record and will attempt an INSERT rather than an UPDATE. Again, please show us your code so we can better help you.

Forms 10g installed and running on Windows Vista

Update 12-Dec-2008: Oracle has published NOTE 559067.1 -- How to Install Developer Suite 10.1.2.0.2 - hence 10.1.2.3 - on Windows Vista, 24-OCT-2008 with some installation help.
Update 07-July-2008: Added text at the bottom showing how to find patchsets for Forms 10g.
Update 29-May-2008: This thread was started in November, 2007. In January, 2008, Oracle released Patch 3 for Forms 10g, which makes Forms 10g compatible with Windows Vista. As time permits I'll try to keep the information in this post up to date. Updated information will be inserted as blue text.

Original message begins here:
This is a second thread I am posting to outline the steps I have used to install Forms on a Windows Vista Home Basic laptop. The other thread describes installing Forms 6i:
Forms 6i installed and running on Windows Vista
Please read through the initial part of that post for the background. I realize Oracle has not certified Forms 10g to run on Vista, but the time has come for my associates and I to upgrade our old computers to new desktop/laptop platforms, and I would hate to acquire XP machines and be stuck with them for the next 5 years. (Note: Since first posting this message, Oracle has certified Forms 10g Patch 3 (version 10.1.2.3.0) to run on Vista) So after another person informed me that he had Forms installed and running on Vista, I went ahead and bought one. I found that as long as I set the compatibility mode to run Forms programs as Windows XP (and a few other changes), Forms 6i and 10g run quite satisfactorily.
Update 29-Jan-2008: Unfortunately, it turns out that the Forms 10g Builder running on Vista had a major flaw: If you try to develop a form, the Builder will crash if you try to compile a procedure that calls another procedure in the form that has errors. The problem is reported and described in this thread: Error compiling a form under Vista
Update 12-Mar-2008: Installing Patch 3 on Vista does not help with this problem -- the Builder still crashes in the same situation.
Update 25-July-2008: Applying Patch 7047034 has corrected the problem. See this link within this thread: Forms 10g: Installing Patch 7047034 on Windows Vista
Webutil note: I am stuck in a Forms 6i client/server world, so all my forms must run in that environment. Therefore I have not used any Webutil software, and I do not know whether that part will run under Vista.
Internet Explorer note: On Windows Vista, IE CANNOT be used to run the Web Forms runtime. It crashes immediately when you try to run a form. Instead, I can use either Firefox (Firefox 2, Firefox 3.0 Crashes with Forms 10g) or Netscape, as long as they are set to disable java. [ Correction: IE7 on Vista now runs the Forms 10g forms. You just need to add "?config=jpi" to the browser URL when starting the Web Forms session.

The Oracle Developer Suite download page:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ids/index.html
Oracle Developer Suite Installation Guide:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25016_07//doc/dl/core/B16012_04/toc.htm
The steps below are those I followed to install Forms 10g (version 10.1.2.0.2)
I. Preliminary system changes in Windows
When I started installing, I got the following error message: Install has encountered an error while
 attempting to verify your virtual memory settings.
 Please verify that the sum of the initial sizes of
 the paging files is at least 256 MB.To fix this: Go to Control Panel, System and Maintenance, View amount of RAM and processor speed (under "System"),
Advanced system settings (in left "Tasks" column), Advanced tab, Settings (under "performance"), Advanced tab:
Virtual Memory shows a "Total paging file size for all drives: 2337MB.
Click "change", Uncheck "Automatically manage paging file size for all drives"
Click "custom size:", set Initial size to: 2048, Max to 4096
Click set button, then OK, get message:The changes you have made require you to restart your computer before
 they can take effect.Restart the computer.
II. Installing Forms 10g
1. Download two files from Oracle:
ds_windows_x86_101202_disk1.zip (626,122,752 bytes)
ds_windows_x86_101202_disk2.zip (236,880,881 bytes)
2a. Before extracting, it is a good idea to shut down any virus protection software. It can sometimes prevent some files from being created.
2b. Extract both into the C:\oracle directory, as disk1 and disk2.
3. Using Windows Explorer, change the properties of setup.exe in the C:\oracle\disk1 folder. (In windows explorer, right click, properties, Compatibility tab.) Change the compatibility to run as Windows XP (Service Pack 2).
4. Right click setup.exe and click "Run as administrator"
5. Select "Installation type" = Complete (1.11 GB)
6. Received this message:Windows Firewall has blocked this program from
accepting incoming network connections. If you
unblock this program, it will be unblocked on all
public networks that you connect to.
C:\users\steve\appdata\local\temp\orainstall...
2007-10-29_11-59-08am\jre\1.4.2\bin\javaw.exeI clicked "Unblock"
7. Received this message: "Provide outgoing mail server information" I entered the smtp mail server that I use.
8. A summary screen displayed showing 274 products under New Installations.
I clicked the Install button.
9. Received this message: You can find a log of this install session at:
C:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory\logs\installActions2007.....log
10. The installation completed. Installed products shows Forms 10.1.2.0.2
III. After the install completed
1. Create a shortcut to the Forms 10 Builder on the Desktop.
On the shortcut line, after the .exe, add *userid=userxxx/pwxxx@orcl* so Builder automatically logs into 10g database. If you do step 4 below (creating an easily-accessible folder to use for your forms) change the "Start in" path on the shortcut so it points to that folder. Otherwise, Forms Builder will not find referenced objects and PLL libraries when it opens a form. Also do the same on the Start, All Programs shortcut for the Forms Builder.
Edit: After applying Patch 3, the following steps are not necessary.
Set its compatibility to Windows XP.
Set checkbox: "Run this program as as an administrator." (Without this, FormBuilder will NOT open a PLL library.)
Click the "Show settings for all users" and change values there.
2. Copy "Start OC4J Instance" icon to desktop.
Set its compatibility to Windows XP.
The first time it runs, I got a Windows popup to unblock program named Java. I clicked "Unblock".
3. tnsnames.ora:
Rename C:\oracle\DevSuiteHome_1\network\admin\tnsnames.ora
to: tnsnames_orig.ora
If you created a tnsnames.ora file for Forms 6i, just copy it to the path above. If not, do this:
Create a new tnsnames.ora file, copying entries old file on my old laptop, which contains all the connections I use.
Delete the old laptop entry, replace with new entry for the new local ORCL connection on new laptop from tnsnames file renamed from the c:\oracle\... ...\10.2.0\db_1\ path.
4. Optional: Create an easily accessible folder to store fmb files:
C:\users\steve\.1\fmb10
You don't really want to keep drilling into C:\oracle\DevSuiteHome_1\forms, and then find your .fmb file among the several dozen oracle-supplied files.
To create a folder named .1, you have to open a CMD.exe (Windows DOS) window, and type the Make Directory command:
MD .1
That will create the folder within the current directory -- mine defaults to C:\users\steve
Note: If you also need to use Forms 6i like me, DO NOT EVER open a .fmb file in the Forms 10 Builder from the Forms 6i folder. If you compile it, or even worse, save the .fmb, Forms 6i *cannot ever* access the file. Instead, always use the File Manager (Windows Explorer) to copy the fmb from the fmb6 folder into the fmb10 location.
5. Change the Forms 10g Default.env file using a text editor.
This file replaces all the settings originally written to the Windows Registry (GREAT idea, Oracle! I hate the registry.) No more Regedit. The default.env file is located at: (DevSuiteHome_1 path)\forms\server\default.env
Locate line with: FORMS_PATH= and add:
;C:\users\steve\.1\fmb10
Add a new line:
FORMS_MMAP=FALSE
The above allows compiling an fmx while the form is running.
Add a new line:
FORMS_ROWLOCK_OPTIMIZATION=FALSE
(This fixes Oracle bug number 3949854, which prevents automatic skipping if the same value is typed over another value. TAR 4806199.993 Automatic Skip failure...) See bug 4068896
Add a new Line:
FORMS_RESTRICT_ENTER_QUERY=False
This allows use of Query-Where window in enter query, after entering a colon in any input field. Without this, Forms returns FRM-40367: Invalid criteria in field nnn in example record. Oracle shut it down to prevent "sql injection" attacks.
6. Jiniator setup:
Run file jinit.exe in C:\oracle\DevSuiteHime_1\jinit\jinit.exe
It installs Jinitiator 1.3.1.22.
I installed it in C:\oracle\JInitiator 1.3.1.22\
For Firefox, make sure a copy of file \bin\NPJinit13122.dll resides in C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins.
For Netscape, the path is: C:\Program Files\Netscape\Navigator 9\plugins
7. Browser settings
See the note above about using Firefox 2 and not Firefox 3!
In Firefox 2 go to: Tools-> Options-> Content
Uncheck the "Enable Java" checkbox
--Firefox terminates if this is not done!
Note: After my system automatically installed updates to either java or Firefox, re-check the "Enable Java" setting. I am suspicious that one of these installs re-enables java in the browser.
Also note: some web sites cannot display properly if java is disabled. Example: U.S. time website: http://www.time.gov Use Internet Explorer to view these.
In Netscape make the same changes as Firefox. Without disabling java, it also terminates when you try to run a form.
Creating a url to use in the browser:
Try this:
http://127.0.0.1:8889/forms/frmservlet
If it does not work, change the 8889 port number as follows:
Open file: C:\oracle\DevSuiteHome_1\install\portlist.ini
Note the number in line:
Oracle Developer Suite HTTP port = 8889
Use the number as the port number.
You can also change the 127.0.0.1 to the computer name:
Control Panel, System and Maintenance, See the name of this computer (under "System"). Mine is "steve-PC"
So the alternate URL is: http://steve-PC:8889/forms/frmservlet
To try out the URL, start the OC4J instance set up above. Then start either Netscape or Firefox, and enter the URL. You should get a welcome screen.
If the above URL works, start up the Forms Builder, and open Edit, Preferences. On the General tab, uncheck the "Build before running" check box (optional). On the Runtime tab, set the "Application Server URL to the url above.
To run a real form, add this to the URL after frmservlet, (with no spaces):
?form={formname}&userid={userxxx}/{passwordyyy}@{connect-string}
but replace the parts in curly braces with the appropriate values. Example:
http://127.0.0.1:8889/forms/frmservlet?form=ABC&userid=abc123/zyx@orcl
Setting up Forms Builder to directly run a form in the browser:
Run the Forms Builder. Go to Edit, Preferences, Runtime tab.
Set the Application Server URL to:
http://127.0.0.1:8889/forms/frmservlet
(or use whatever URL string you developed above)
Set the Web Browser Location to:
"C:\Program Files\Netscape\Navigator 9\navigator.exe"
(or an equivalent to run the Firefox browser).
8. FORMSWEB.CFG file changes
The file is located at:
C:\ORA_DS_101202\DevSuiteHome_1\forms\server\formsweb.cfg
I changed the following two lines in the file, but these are my personal preferences:
separateFrame=true
lookandfeel=Generic
9. FMRWEB.RES file changes
For Oracle help: Enabling Key Mappings
The file fmrweb.res defines actions (triggers that run) when a function key is pressed while running Forms. The one released has unix-style key mapping, but I prefer keys originally mapped for Windows PC Forms users. There is a fmrpcweb.res in the same folder that can be renamed to fmrweb.res.
In the C:\oracle\DevSuiteHome_1\forms path, I renamed fmrweb.res to fmrweb_orig.res.
I have a file that I prefer to use, so I put it into the folder as fmrweb.res. The contents are listed below. It is organized so the most important keys are listed alphabetically at the top (URFD column is the sort column), followed by a group of less-important keys. These are keys that are available to users, but they either would not use, or are disabled within most forms. The URFD column in the second set starts with a hex A0 character, which is a high-order space, so collates after normal alphabetic characters. (Note: If you want to copy the text below and use it, the hex A0 character has been changed by the forum software to a space. So you would need to use a text editor with hexadecimal character capabilities to replace the space with the original character. )
My file has special keys defined for F2 (I use it for a debugging Key-F2 trigger in my forms), and a "Cursor to Home" F12 function. All the rest are pretty much the same as in the released fmrpcweb.res file, only mine are organized alphabetically on the URFD column.
The Web Forms fmrweb.res file is editable using any programming editor (NOT MS Word!!!). The old Client/Server key mapping file, fmrusw.res, could only be changed using the Oracle Terminal program (and it is a pain to use).
Here is the main part of my fmrweb.res file:#
#Jfn :Jmn: URKS :Ffn : URFD

I followed your instructions and installed Developer Suite 10G on Windows Vista Home Premium edition. I have Oracle 11G DB running on the same machine.
Two points, Steve:
1. When I tried to set the maximum virtual memory to 6110 an error message displayed from Windows and told me that I can't set the maximum virtual memory to more than 4096. I set it to 4090 and it worked and I got nothing wrong during the installation process.
2. After installing JInitiator and disabling Java on Firefox I called the http://127.0.0.1:8889/forms/frmservlet page and everything seemed to be OK because the Oracle Forms Services logo appeared and then a successful installation message appeared , but as I clicked (ok) to continue a gray screen appeared inside the browser (like the one displayed when you try to run a Java applet inside a browser) and then I wait to death till something appears but sadly nothing. I just get a blank gray screen inside my Firefox browser.
Do you have any idea what to do to solve the problem?

This will be especially important if you are new to any of the products as you will likely need documentation and/or product updates in order to ensure the most stable environment possible.
There are a few publicly available documents which may help to get you started. In any case, these are just examples. They may or may not work to your liking. Further, in some cases they may not work at all. Many of the examples online are often outdated and do not function exactly as documented against other versions. Here is one:

Oracle forms 10G -Version 10.1.2.0.2 will it support timestamp data type ?

Hi all,
We are having database server - oracle 10g enterprise edition R2,
forms - Oracle forms 10G -Version 10.1.2.0.2 on windows 2000 professional.
We have created a table which has a column of type "timestamp",the following is the structure.
CREATE TABLE "STOCK_AREA_MASTER"
        (     "STOCK_AREA_CODE"     NCHAR(5)       NOT NULL    ENABLE,
              "STOCK_AREA_DESC"     NVARCHAR2(40) NOT NULL    ENABLE,
              "RECORD_STATUS"       CHAR(1)        DEFAULT 'A',
              "USER_ID"             NVARCHAR2(20) DEFAULT USER,
              "TIMESTAMP"           TIMESTAMP (6) DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP)
[\code]
We tried to invoke this table(stock_area_master) using database block wizard in forms 10g,we were expecting to see the columns in this table,but we got the following error
FRM -10095 - Assertion failed
on seeing the forms help for the error FRM-10095,We are getting the following message
FRM-10095: Assertion failed in %s, at %s:%d. Cause:  An internal inconsistency was detected. Action:  Contact an Oracle support representative, and proceed with caution
We have the following concerns.
1.) is it possible to have datatype "timestamp" in forms 10g,our researches show that we can manipulate using datatime datatype in forms,our requirement is have to precision of 6 digits(millisecond - format - dd/mm/rr hh24:mi:ss:ssss),we are able query and view precision to the tune dd/mm/rr hh24:mi:ss:ssss,but we are unable to insert/update to this precision.
We would appreciate if some one could throw some light on the above.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Mohan

Hi Mohan,
Hm. Strange.
I have reproduced the problem in my environment.
I have also found, that building the block manually, seems to work, as long as you define the item with datatype Char in Form Builder. Inserts and updates using a value like "22-AUG-06 11:10:11,647354 AM" worked fine for the timestamp item.
You may want to enforce some dateformat. I don't know whether that will work.
Good Luck!

Using of google map in oracle forms 10g

Hello,
We are on Oracle Forms 10g. We have a requirement of calling a Custom Map application (Like Google Maps) from Oracle Forms 10g.
We want to show the Employee's Hose location in the form when city,street and state is entered.
We are using the following PJC
http://forms.pjc.bean.over-blog.com/article-26335020.html
But when i run it i do not get anything in GMAP.
I appreciate if I can get some help for the above requirements.
Thank you.

hello sir,
I am running my form from the form Builder.
I have copied my jar file into E:\DevsuiteHome_1\forms\Java Folder.

Code Generation Bug in Forms 10g

We're hitting this goofy bug in Forms 10g (also occurs in 9i) code generation of the On-xxx triggers. I have an "obj" package that declares an index-by array type that's used by multiple packages, including a "qry" package and "dml" package (in good ol' Steven Feuerstein tradition). The On-xxx triggers pass this type into packaged procedures that perform the Insert, Update, Delete and Lock required by Forms. These DML routines are in the "dml" package.
When we look at the generated trigger code, we see that the index-by array type is incorrectly referenced as dml.obj.idx. That is, since the On-xxx trigger is calling DML routines in the "dml" package, it's improperly qualifying the reference with the dml package name. The On-xxx trigger code gets regenerated every time we do Compile Module. We tried doing Compile All, which doesn't regenerate the On-xxx triggers; but neither does it produce an fmx file.
Is this a known bug, and is there a workaround? I can't move the index-by array type declaration to the dml package because it's used by multiple packages. If I fix it in one place, I break it in another. I can't have multiple declarations of this type in multiple packages either, because I'm passing it around between the packages, and they're not type-compatible at that point.

It looks like the Forms Wizard is the real culprit. When we looked at the Property Palette for each On-xxx trigger, where the target procedure is specified, along with the parameters, is where the malformed dml.obj.ref code appears. Once we edited those entries, the On-xxx triggers generated correctly.

Commit processing in Forms 10g, what triggers fire etc.

In the oracle documentation there used to be a commit processing flowchart that said exactly what triggers fire on commit. Don’t seem to be able to find such a thing online.
This started by trying to work out if when-validate-item always fired on commit, even if it had been fired when the value was changes. It has turned into a more general question about the above and if it is any different in forms 10g and is it any different to 6i, 9i...?
I.e. how do you answer the standard oracle job interview question 'what triggers are fired when you commit in forms?'.
Oracle seems to of hidden the information, anyone know the answer?
Regards,
Ben

Installation of forms 10G

Hi all,
I am struggling to install Forms 10G on Windows server 2008 machine. Can you please help me finding the solution. Its very urgent and nobody in our team or onsite team knows about it.
Please, its very urgent and really helpful to me.
Thank you in advance,

Generally speaking, AS 10g (10.1.2) is not certified to be installed on Windows 2008, however it can be done. You might want to consider whether or not you will need assistance from Oracle Support in the future. Uncertified configurations usually will not be supported.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/ias/downloads/as-certification-r2-101202-095871.html
Information on how to install Developer Suite 10.1.2 on Vista is available in MyOracleSupport Note 559067.1 . This will be basically the same information needed for installing on Win2008. You will also need AS Patch 3 (10.1.2.3) in order to expect this to work correctly.
https://updates.oracle.com/download/5983622.html
Disabling IPv6 on the Win2008 machine will be necessary before installation too.

Forms 10g 10.1.2.3 with Microsoft Internet Explorer 8.0 in Win 7 64bit

Hi all
i am not able to open the application forms developed with forms 10g(10.1.2.3 ) in IE8.
I am able to open it from the same client using google chrome or Firefox 3.6.
JRE is 1.6 update 33.
Does any body knows what should be the settings of IE8 , to make forms of with IE8.
Is there any metalink how to document?
Thank you in advance
Kreshnik

HI
this is my formsweb.cfg. I think it is OK since i can magae to open the forms from FF 3.5 and Chrome.
the problem is with IE 8 that is it certified for forms 10.1.2.3 version
thanks and regards

Best practice Forms 10g configuration setup and tuning

Hi,
We are currently depolying forms 10g from 6i client/server version. Users are experiencing Form hangups and hour glasses. This does not happen that often but can happen any time, anywhere in the app (users do inserts, updates and deletes and queries).
Is there a baseline best practice configuration setup anywhere either in the Forms side or the AppServer side of things?
Here is our setup:
Forms 10g (9.0.4)
Reports 10g (9.0.4)
Oracle AppServer 10g (9.0.4)
OS = RedHat Linux
Client Workstations run on Windows 2000 and XP w/ Internet Explorer 6 or higher
Average No. of users = 250
Thanks for all your help

Shutdown applications within the guest.
Either power off from Oracle VM Manager or 'xm shutdown xxx' from the command line
It is possible one or more files could be open when the shutdown is initiated.
Have found at least one case of misconfigured IP which would have resulted in the disk access being via the 'Front End' interface rather than the Back End.
Thanks

Forms 10g rel 1( 9.0.4 ) vs SUN JVM 1.5

Hello:
From SUN site you can read :
"Changes in 1.5.0_06
The full internal version number for this update release is 1.5.0_06-b05 (where "b" means "build"). The external version number is 5.0u6.
Security Enhancements
Prior to this update, an applet or application could specify the version of the JRE on which it would run. This has changed. All applets are executed with the latest JRE version. Unsigned Java Web Start applications that specify a version other than the latest trigger a warning, requiring explicit user permission before the application will run. Signed Java Web start applications are not affected. "
Assuming that our customer will use SUN JVM , NOT Oracle JInitiator.
We have seen that if in a client machine it is installed SUN JVM 1.4.2_10 ( certified ) AND SUN JVM 1.5 or newer.
there is NO WAY to force Forms 9.0.4 applications to run with SUN JVM 1.4.2_10.
In spite of doing the following settings at formsweb.cfg
# Parameter related to the version of the Java Plugin
jpi_mimetype=application/x-java-applet;jpi-version=1.4.2_10
when you run forms 9.0.4 applications from a browser in that machine, SUN JVM 1.5 is mandatory used by the browser.
It seems that IT IS IMPOSSIBLE to tell 9.0.4 to use SUN JVM 1.4.2_10 because SUN prevents it according to the above documentation .
Q1) I thank your comments on this
Then, when you look for certification info:
a) you can get this info for Forms 10g R2
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/10gR2/clientsod_forms10gR2.html
b) you can get this info for Forms 10g R1
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/10g/clientsod_forms10g.ht
ml
Q2) What are ORACLE plans about certification of SUN JVM 1.5 AND Forms 10g Rel 1 ( 9.0.4 ) ?
Thanks in advance,
Fernando Rey

Hi Guys,
I am currently testing our portal with a number of JRE version or Jinitiator and the SUN JRE.
I found some very useful information about changing the registry of the local PC to re-enable specific versioning, see info, below.
I have tested this and it does work, but you need to be careful with Sun JRE versions to ensure that you are on 1.5.0.7 or higher.
Another useful link is this discussion over on the sun forums.
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=730855
Good Luck
Scott
We have found a conflict with the Sun JRE 1.4.2.6 and version Sun JRE 1.5.0.6
To get around this conflict a registry key has to be added onto the users PC and the user needs to remove 1.5.0.6 and install 1.5.0.7 or higher. To make matters worse the auto-update feature in version 1.4, if left enabled, will update the user to 1.5.0.6 even thought the latest release from the sun web site is 1.5.0.8 !
Therefore can you add this registry key onto the automated install of the Sun 1.4.2.6 setup as per the instructions below.
Troubleshooting Conflicting JPI Versions on the Desktop:
Per oracle note 368775.1, JRE 1.5 will not allow static versions. In other words version 1.5
may override your required version of 1.4.2. They call it a security feature, but it can reek
havoc with oracle forms. This section addresses a possible workaround.
If your users either need to run JPI 1.5 for any reason, here is the workaround to force
BANNER to use ONLY version 1.4.2.
If you launch forms and in the java console it shows version 1.5.X, perform the following
steps.
1. Make a backup of the windows registry
2. Edit the registry
3. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\
4. Create a new directory by highlighting the key above and pressing <RIGHT
CLICK>/<NEW KEY>
5. Rename the key to [Java Deployment]
6. Highlight the new key created in step 5 and press <RIGHT CLICK>/<NEW KEY>
7. Rename this new value to [Policy]
8. Highlight the new key created in step 7 and press <RIGHT CLICK>/<NEW DWORD>
9. Rename this DWORD to “EnableSecureStaticVersioning”
Re-launch forms and verify via the java console that the desktop is returning 1.4.2.

Does anyone have any idea why this happens? There is no xmlparse error or something similar, just what I wrote above.
Thanks,

Hello,
1.) You missed out important informations like database and forms versions
2.) where did you write this? dbms_output.put_line will not display anything in forms (unless you get the lines you put on the buffer back with get_lines which is kind of useless in your case)
3.) You might want to read all responses; here:

is the solution to your problem.
4.) this
cursor cursor_xml (p_id in varchar2)
is select * from MY_TABLE where id=p_id for update;
rec cursor_xml%rowtype;is a bad idea. using %rowtype and select * is a real bad coding practice and will lead to unexpected behaviour when you do changes to the underlying table. In fact why do you want to do this anyway? You take some informations out of your table, create an xmltype of it and put it back into the table? What happens when you do changes to your data? You will have to do this again (probably in a database trigger <sigh>)...
Why not simply:
SQL> select level, xmltype('<company>'||level||'</company>') from dual connect by level < 20;
 LEVEL|XMLTYPE('<COMPANY>'||LEVEL||'</COMPANY>')

19 rows selected.create a view upon that end never bother again with updating your xmltype column?

Create pop-up windows in forms 10g

I have an application in which several formal controls are made before insert/update a record. Some of them are blocking, some others arent.
Actually, at every constraint violation, a message is displayed with an alert. So, the user may got one or more alerts before he succeed in inserting/updating a record. And it may be annoying to click on 'OK' a lot of times!
So, I wish to collect all error message and display them in a window, which is to be displayed in a pop-up way (something like the alerts that appear at the bottom-right corner of our screen when we have new mail).
The issue is that the pop-up window must not disturb the user, i.e it should be displayed and iconized after few seconds, leaving the focus on the main window.
I tried several solutions, but each of them have some issues.
External HTML page: maybe its the easiest solution. But bluring it, the focus doesnt return to the form application.
New window: I can run and iconize it. But, as in the previous case, the main window lost the focus.
New canvas: I put a text item LOG_ERRORS in a new canvas, in the same main window. But when I run it, the main canvas disappear.
does anyone know how to create popup windows in forms 10g (if it is possible)?
thank you

You can use a new window and set "Window Style" to "Dialog" then you can show the window without the main-window loosing the focus
