Commit database in Forms

When I made database chanes (update,insert) from forms (DB table, not data block) FORM_STATUS not chage, on commit i retrive msg FRM-40401('NO changes to save')
Now i use dbms_transaction for define does commit needed.
Is exist other methods or i do all right?

Hello,
well the database actually commited your changes despite of the error message.
you can use the :system.message_level to overcome this.
:system.message_level := '20';
commit;
:system.message_level := '0';
this will do the trick

Retrieving image from database in form 6i

hello all
i'm working on form 6i...
i have uploded images into the database of customers in my application using READ_IMAGE_FILE.. IT IS FINE...
But when i am trying retrieves records into the form.... i'm getting all the data except image... Image field is showing empty..
How can i get image from database to form
can u plz help me.....
thanks

What data type you used for storing image in database. If it is long raw, then you can place an image item within your data block on form and associate it with the column name. This should populate the image by itself.
Below para is from Forms Help.
Image items can be populated in the following ways:
+1. a fetch from a LONG RAW database column+
An image item in a data block is populated automatically when the end user or the application executes a query in the block. When a fetched image is modified or replaced, Form Builder marks that record as Changed, and the next commit operation saves the new image to the corresponding LONG RAW column in the database.
Note: You cannot write a SELECT statement to select a LONG RAW value INTO an image item.
+2. executing the READ_IMAGE_FILE built-in to read an image from the file system+
+(To dynamically write an image from an image item out to a file, use the built-in procedure WRITE_IMAGE_FILE.)+

Datablock not assosicated with the database on forms 10G is giving me an er

Hi All,
I have a simple form (D/2000 10G)
I would like to create simple datablock which not assosicated with the database, The text-items will be populated by triggers on validate
Save should trigger stored procedure with DML commands.
The form is working great, but when when I press "Save", I get "FRM-40401 No changes to save error"
How can I do it ?
Adi.

You can do it without creating a new button.
If you want to use the default 'Save' button, just create a KEY-COMMIT trigger on form level and from this trigger call your procedure.
You can also include a message to inform the user that the record(s) has been saved. either within your DML procedure or the trigger code.

Store and display word document in database through forms

how can i store a word document in database through forms 6i or 10g, and display it through forms from database.
i know how to store a binary file in database through DBMS_LOB package, but i want to do it throug forms. is it possible?
regards

Hi Alex
"Create a datablock and specify the item datatype as blob"
BUT: How to bring the document to the blob?
Hi user 611..
Warning: It is easy if you use an OLE-Object - but OLE is a special format. The result will not be the same as with dbms_LOB.
We have a application with documents stored via OLE - terrible!
OLE is no longer supported by forms 10. But webutil would help.
I asked a similar question and got a good answer:

How to get up and running with WebUtil 1.06 included with Oracle Developer Suite 10.1.2.0.2 on a win32 platform
Solution
Assuming a fresh "Complete" install of Oracle Developer Suite 10.1.2.0.2,
here are steps to get a small test form running, using WebUtil 1.06.
Note: [OraHome] is used as an alias for your real oDS ORACLE_HOME.
Feel free to copy this note to a text editor, and do a global find/replace on
[OraHome] with your actual value (no trailing slash). Then it is easy to
copy/paste actual commands to be executed from the note copy.
1) Download http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/jacob-project/jacob_18.zip
and extract to a temporary staging area. Do not attempt to use 1.7 or 1.9.
2) Copy or move jacob.jar and jacob.dll
[JacobStage] is the folder where you extracted Jacob, and will end in ...\jacob_18
     cd [JacobStage]
     copy jacob.jar [OraHome]\forms\java\.
     copy jacob.dll [OraHome]\forms\webutil\.
The Jacob staging area is no longer needed, and may be deleted.
3) Sign frmwebutil.jar and jacob.jar
Open a DOS command prompt.
Add [OraHome]\jdk\bin to the PATH:
     set PATH=[OraHome]\jdk\bin;%PATH%
Sign the files, and check the output for success:
     [OraHome]\forms\webutil\sign_webutil [OraHome]\forms\java\frmwebutil.jar
     [OraHome]\forms\webutil\sign_webutil [OraHome]\forms\java\jacob.jar
4) If you already have a schema in your RDBMS which contains the WebUtil stored code,
you may skip this step. Otherwise,
Create a schema to hold the WebUtil stored code, and privileges needed to
connect and create a stored package. Schema name "WEBUTIL" is recommended
for no reason other than consistency over the user base.
Open [OraHome]\forms\create_webutil_db.sql in a text editor, and delete or comment
out the EXIT statement, to be able to see whether the objects were created witout
errors.
Start SQL*Plus as SYSTEM, and issue:
     CREATE USER webutil IDENTIFIED BY [password]
     DEFAULT TABLESPACE users
     TEMPORARY TABLESPACE temp;
     GRANT CONNECT, CREATE PROCEDURE, CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM TO webutil;
     CONNECT webutil/[password]@[connectstring]
     @[OraHome]\forms\create_webutil_db.sql
     -- Inspect SQL*Plus output for errors, and then
     CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM webutil_db FOR webutil.webutil_db;
Reconnect as SYSTEM, and issue:
     grant execute on webutil_db to public;
5) Modify [OraHome]\forms\server\default.env, and append [OraHome]\jdk\jre\lib\rt.jar
to the CLASSPATH entry.
6) Start the OC4J instance
7) Start Forms Builder and connect to a schema in the RDBMS used in step (4).
Open webutil.pll, do a "Compile ALL" (shift-Control-K), and generate to PLX (Control-T).
It is important to generate the PLX, to avoid the FRM-40039 discussed in
Note 303682.1
If the PLX is not generated, the Webutil.pll library would have to be attached with
full path information to all forms wishing to use WebUtil. This is NOT recommended.
8) Create a new FMB.
Open webutil.olb, and Subclass (not Copy) the Webutil object to the form.
There is no need to Subclass the WebutilConfig object.
Attach the Webutil.pll Library, and remove the path.
Add an ON-LOGON trigger with the code
         NULL;
to avoid having to connect to an RDBMS (optional).
Create a new button on a new canvas, with the code
         show_webutil_information (TRUE);
in a WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger.
Compile the FMB to FMX, after doing a Compile-All (Shift-Control-K).
9) Under Edit->Preferences->Runtime in Forms Builder, click on "Reset to Default" if
the "Application Server URL" is empty.
Then append "?config=webutil" at the end, so you end up with a URL of the form
      http://server:port/forms/frmservlet?config=webutil
10) Run your form.sarah

Is there any difference in oracle database and forms database

i want to know is there any difference in oracle database and forms 6i database
,if i import some file through oracle database then same data will exist in forms database or not
thanks

Oracle Forms is a Rapid Application Development (RAD) tool not a database. With Forms, you connect to an Oracle database to query and display data from the database as well as insert new or update existing data. Consequently, if exists in the database - you should be able to display it in a Form.

Urgent, Indication of new entry in database at forms 6i in client server

I am working in client server environment using Oracle 9i + Developer 6i .I have an application in which different users send demands from different computers to his Boss for approval. At Boss computer a form is always open round the clock.
Right now boss have time to time query the form at his computer, to check for any new demand for his approval.
I only facilitate Boss with an indication in the status bar when new demand is send to him for the approval at his computer. I want just Like Yahoo Mail, when new mail is arrived there is always Icon at status bar to show arrival of new mail when we use Yahoo Messenger.
Please send me solution of this problem on urgent basis.
If somebody has an example, then please send me the FMB file.

Creating Database Standard Form Analytic Workspaces

Just been looking through the new 9.2.0.4.1 documentation and came across the following. Thought it might be useful.
The 9.2.0.4.1 release of Oracle OLAP introduces a new concept known as �Database Standard Form� Analytic Workspaces. This is a way of constructing analytic workspaces in a standard way such that they can be used by tools such as the Analytic Workspace Manager, the Java OLAP API, and BI Beans.
When analytic workspaces are created from a relational star-schema using the Analytic Workspace Manager, it automatically creates the analytic workspace in standard form as part of the migration process. However, if you�re migrating an Express database to Oracle OLAP, the migrated database has to be processed to be in standard form before it is usable by any of the new Oracle OLAP GUI tools.
If you create an analytic workspace using PL/SQL or the OLAP Worksheet, of course you can create dimensions, variables, relations and so on in any form, just as you can create table structures, joins, views and columns in any form in a relational database. However, the database standard form requirement stipulates that;
Certain objects and properties need to be found in the analytic workspace, that are used by tools such as the Analytic Workspace Manager to perform tasks such as aggregation, data loads, and OLAP API enablement. OLAP DML views (beginning with AW$) need to created in the analytic workspace, to provide metadata and to identify relationships between objects in the analytic workspace. Objects need to be registered in the OLAP Catalog, and these registrations have to be kept in sync so that the OLAP tools are aware of changes to the base objects. Data that is migrated in to an analytic workspace, from a relational star-schema using the Analytic Workspace Manager, is already in database standard form and no further work is needed. However, some work is needed to get migrated Express databases into standard form, and Oracle have provided a utility with the 9.2.0.4.1 release of Oracle OLAP to help accomplish this.
This utility, known as CREATE_DB_STDFORM, is an OLAP DML program that takes existing Oracle Express Objects metadata in a migrated Express database, and uses this to create the additional metadata required to make the analytic workspace �database standard form�.
Once CREATE_DB_STDFORM has been used to create this additional metadata, it can also be used to import data into the workspace either from flat files, or from Oracle tables and views. If you don�t have Express Objects metadata in the Express database, CREATE_DB_STDFORM doesn�t work, and you�ll have to use Oracle Warehouse Builder 9.2 to initially create a relational star-schema that equates to the Express database, then use the OLAP Bridge within OWB to export the data into a database standard form analytic workspace.
CREATE_DB_STDFORM, once run, allows the migrated Express database to be accessed via BI Beans straight afterwards, as it creates all the OLAP Catalog entries required for the OLAP API. If the Express database only contains data at the lowest level (i.e. it hasn�t been rolled up), aggregation wizards in the Analytic Workspace Manager can be used to summarise the data as required.
CREATE_DB_STDFORM doesn�t do everything, however. First of all, you need to have created Oracle Express Objects metadata within the Express database, which is an additional step and not always appropriate for all systems. In addition, you need to create time dimensions in a particular way, which may require the data model to be adjusted to meet this requirement. Lastly, any Express language programs within the Express database may need to be adjusted to remove or change commands that have changed or become obsolete.
The new document, �Oracle OLAP Application Developers Guide Release 9.2.0.4.1�, available on metalink under note 251352.1, details how database standard form works, has code examples, and walks through the migration of the XADEMO Express database to an analytic workspace using database standard form.

In your message, you wrote "Certain objects and properties need to be found ... aware of changes to base objects". A large bit is represented by "...". Question is whether I have any commands or package functions that I can use to set up all the proper objects and relationships to make it have database standard form, short of regressing to a ROLAP star schema and usnig the AWM wizard. I have what appears to be working MOLAP activity, all created at the OLAP worksheet prompt, and loaded with DML program. Do I really have to put that all aside and start with a star schema? No way to put my AW in standard form for OLAP API without this?

Did you literally go into your tns file and put all of your specific envirnmental specifications?

Are you using the right alias?
