Changing functionality of Function Keys in forms 10g

Dear users....One of the big difficulties users facing in my 10g forms applications is that its Function Keys have totally changed like that of Enter-Query or Execute-Query. In forms 6i user was habitual of working with F-7 & F-8 for this purpose but in 10g its quite different. Can u tell me that how can I match the functionality of these Function Keys in 10g to that of Forms-6i???

Hey Arun...I've read urs recommended post, I wish to give u 10 pts if u give me the answer for this question too ;) Can I use my newly created fmrweb.res in my own application? I mean other users should keep on using the default fmrweb.res file but I should use the file compatible with 6i shortcut keys. Is there any configuration for this in formsweb.conf file?

Thanks Francois!
Your info will be useful to me, as my customers were complaining about it.
I didn't give attention or did any R&D on it because I thought for us main challange is to make ERP work on web first.

Problem in changing HOTKEYS using fmrweb.res in Forms 10G

Hi
i am working on ORACLE FORMS 10g.In our requirement the Hotkey for Save Button is F9 , Add Button is F8, Exit is F5.I changed these values in the fmrweb.res but F9 Key for Save is not working.I used the command Save for F9 then later changed it to commit..but still no change..could someone throw some light on this issue?

since it was sunday i couldnt check in office yesterday.its the single file i have got fmrweb.res .it s english installation and some other keys which i have changed do work for me.for example for exit i needed F4 hotkey so i changed it in this file and it works good.its only for save-F9 and find F4 it does not work.it would be of great help if someone could post that fmrweb.res file.

Key Mapping in Forms 10g

Dear All,
I have migrated forms 3.0 in unix to forms 10g in windows 2003 server.
In my older version, '+' key is mapped to do COMMIT. I want to map the same key in forms 10g. i tried the same in my frmweb.res. Pls find the mapping done by me below.
*107 : 0 : "Add" : 36 : "Commit"*
This works fine.
The Issue is ... My cursor is in a text item .... I entered some data and press " + " key to save. The data is saved but at the same time the data in the text item is erased and + is getting replaced in the text item. I dont want my data to be erased and replaced with "+" symbol.
How to map the "+" just for COMMIT and should not replace the data in the text item ?
Can anyone help me to solve this issue...
Thanks in Advance

Unfortunately, sometimes the role of the developer is to educate the user/management what can/can't and should/shouldn't be done. If I were in your postition, I would make every effort to educate the user/management this this is a REALLY bad idea and encourage them to use the standard key mapping or use a modifed key mapping that uses just the F-Keys.
The problem you have to overcome is that you have to not only tell Forms to do something different when the '+' key is pressed, but you have to have a listener in your application that is listening for the '+' key and supress the '+' character. To my knowledge, this cannot be done with native Forms built-ins. You would have to write your own Java solution (JavaBean or Pluggable Java Component [PJC]) to suppress the '+'. I have found that if you can provide the user/management with a cost estimate associated with the effort needed to code a particular feature. Once they realize the level effort and more importantly the cost associated with coding a particular feature, they typically will change their mind and see reason.
I know this is not what you wanted to hear, but I hope it will help anyway. :(

Functions Key like forms 6i in 10g

Hi, i want to set the key functions F7= enter query, f8=execute-query in forms 10g like forms 6i. I don´t like F11 and ctrl-f11
Regards

Hi,
You can change the key mappings by changing the file fmrweb.res in the *<dev_suite_home>\forms* directory. If you want to change all the key settings as in 6i, then make a copy of the fmrweb.res file for a saftey and rename the file fmrpcweb.res as fmrweb.res.

Manu.

Time out functionality in forms 10g

Hi all,
I am trying to implement time out functionality in forms 10g.
i have created a form tout.fmb
in when_new_form_instance trigger : i have written the code like
declare
v_url varchar2(200);
begin
v_url := 'http://www.google.com';
WEBUTIL_SESSION.ENABLE_REDIRECT_ON_TIMEOUT(v_url);
end;
i have attached webutil.pll to it. while running the form it is giving the error as library cannot be attached.
Also. when i run it through Unix application server, it gives the alert window showing message "Please acknowledge" .
Could anybody please help?
Thanks and Regards,
Neha

So you have subclassed the webutil portion of the webutil.olb into your form.
Set the webutil.pll up as a library on said form.
Compiled without error.
Run the form in your developer environment using a URL
Then got this error ??
Just confirming the path you have travelled to get to here.

RANK() function problem in Form 10g

I am using form 10g R2. I wrote codes inside a trigger of a button to select from one table, named test. The code is as follows:
select mm,pp,rr from test. The form can compile this code.
But when I write teh code select mm,pp, rank() over(order by pp desc) rr from test, the form can not compile. Itshows the following error:
Encountered the sysmbol "(" when expecting one of the following:
, from into bulk.
The table has only one record. It works in SQL environment but the form can not compile this RANK() OVER() function.
Do you have any idea to use RANK() OVER() function in Form 10g?

Some analytical functions do not work in client-side sql in forms, you'll have to encapsulate your logic in the database.

Row_number() function error in forms 10g

I used sentence below in forms 10g then an error occured.
row_number() over(partition by GROUP_L1 order by GROUP_L1, GROUP_L2) RN
error : Encountered the symbol "(" when expecting one of the following : , from
above sentence works well in the Toad (<= oracle client tool).
How can you solve this problem?
Edited by: user13763783 on 2011. 3. 8 오후 5:26

Yes Ahmed's Point of View is Correct
you can write a stored procedure on the database and then return the result to Forms. Forms can then call this Stored Procedure.
Alternatively , i believe it's much more easy approach to define a view
view operates just like a table So you can reference this view in any Trigger or any Program Unit.
Hope this helps...

Key-nextrec not firing in forms 10g

I have a code in the above trigger, but it is not firing, I have it in the block property and no other place in the form
message('In key next rec----'); message(' ');
IF :SYSTEM.Last_Record = 'TRUE' Then
Null;
Else
next_record;
End If;

when-new-record-instance runs when you navigate to the next record.
Key-Nxtrec (Nxtrec is the correct spelling) only runs when you press the key assigned to call that trigger. In my environment, it is the Shift+ Down-Arrow key, but it could be just Down-Arrow -- it all depends on what key sequence is assigned to Forms Function Number 67 in your Forms Resource file, FMRWEB.res (or fmrusw.res).
So if the trigger runs when you press the correct keyboard key, and you issue the message but do not call the Next_Record; built-in, focus will not navigate to the next record in your running form.

Enter key not working in forms 10g

Hi guys,
Enter key to select a form is not working
on my application.
I have to double click the form to open it using the mouse.
Then if we try to exit we have to press exit that many number of times as we have pressed enter key.
So it seems to be storing the key processes.
We are using forms 10g.
Please help.
Thanks and Regards,
Rohan

Fixed.
Changed KB.
However, this is still strange as the old KB was working fine in other applications.

can you try assign concatenated value to some xml element first, like
assign : <value>{fn:concat(a,b)}</value> to e.g. value
and then report key ./text() in variable $value

1.) Please don't double post:Urgent message : oracle9i form builder read txt file error
2.) As for your original post: don't post urgent questions over here. If they are really urgent call oracle support. See How To Ask Questions The Smart Way
and after all:
wcu-015: your form must contain the following bean for this function to be
available : oracle.forms.webutil.file.filefunctions;
are you certain, 100% positive, and absolutely sure you have a bean item with above implementation class in your form? I'd double check that...
JInit and IE8? I am not 100% sure, but I am almost certain that this combination didn't work at all. And please don't tell us you used that stupid hack where you replace the jvm.dll of JInit with one of a current JPI installation.
The Oracle Versions you have in place are rather ancient as well, you really should think about upgrading your database and your forms installation. As you already are on webforms moving to the current version of forms shouldn't require much changes in your forms.
cheers

Functional and performance testing on Forms 6.0 and higher

I want to make functional tests on GUI Oracle Forms ver. 6.0 and higher.
I'm thinking in a IBM tool called Rational Robot but it's seems not very good. HP also has this type of tool with forms support but I haven't tested it, yet.
Does Oracle have some tool like this ?
Thanks !

Hi..
Following is the information that you need to know about how rules are used in Financial
Management. You use rules to automate the calculations of data within an application. You can
use rules for these purposes:
● Calculate data entry level amounts for a specific entity, scenario, and period.
● Prevent data entry for a specific cell in a specific entity, scenario, and period.
● Allow input at the Parent entity level.
● Calculate data that cannot be calculated through a hierarchical aggregation, such as ratios
or variance analysis.
● Perform allocations from a parent entity to a list of base entities.
● Perform complex currency conversions, calculate exchange rate differences, or perform
other calculations necessary for your consolidation.
● Define formulas to dynamically calculate accounts.
● Specify the accounts in the application that support intercompany transactions.
You can write rules in a text editor, or you can use the Financial Management Rules Editor to
create rules.
For more information on rules pls refer hfm_admin.pdf
Best Regards
