Connect to Data Base from Form Builder

I have installed Oracle Developer V.6 in the same machine with data base 8i . From Form Builder I can not connect to Data base with scott/tiger with the db_name in Data base 8i.
What should I do to connect it ?
Thanks ,

you need to define a sqlnet connection using the sqlnet easy configuration tool that comes with forms.

Browser blank when running a form from forms builder ??

Hi,
I am trying to run a form from forms builder.
I have a form , compiles, and when I run the form nothing comes up in my browser.
my browser is completely blank.
I am running everything on my local machine.
the steps I took.
- downloaded jinit.exe, installed it.
- started the OC4j
- restarted my browser
- then connect to my DB from forms builder - connects fine
- Run the form
but nothing is coming up when i run my form.
I even restarted my machine and still nothing.
What am I missing ??
Thanks,

This is a fairly common question. If you have the Jnit installed and OC4J running, then I would suggest you add the directory where your FMX is located to the FORMS_PATH in the 'DEFAULT.ENV' file located in the %DEVSUITE_HOME%/forms/server directory. The FORMS_PATH variable defines the SEARCH Path for Forms Applications so Forms can find your .FMX and .PLX files.
You could also modify the URL and specify the Form='your_form_name.fmx', but I prefer adding the directory to the FORMS_PATH so I don't have to add FORMS="" for each different form I'm working on.
Hope this helps,

Passing date parameter from forms to report

Hi,
I'm using forms and reports 6i.
I want to pass one date parameter from forms to reports.
Using
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'P_FROM_DATE',TEXT_PARAMETER,:FROM_DT);
giving me error REP-0091- Invalid value for parameter 'P_FROM_DATE'
This i think is because report expects date and here it is converted as varchar.
Please help

Hi Divya,
Even I use this kind of statement
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'P_FROM_DATE',TEXT_PARAMETER,:FROM_DT);and works fine for me.
This i think is because report expects date and here it is converted as varchar
Correct.
Open the report in the builder and under Data Model -> User Parameters, Go to the Property Inspector of P_FROM_DATE. Under Parameter, set Datatype as Character instead of Date.
Hope this should work. and tell me if it works(coz it wokred for me).

Connect to Oracle 8i from Forms 6

I have installed Personal Oracle 8i and developper 6 in a NT. I got the error when tried to connect to the Oracle 8i from Form Builder. "could not resolve service name".
I did enter the database name.
Any ideas?

This is a tnsnames problem...check the entry in tnsnames.ora and make sure
its
point to the right DB...there will be a tnsnames.ora under Network and also
a
tnsnames in the developer directory ..FORMS will use the tnsnames under
developer..
Supply the connect string with and without the domain to see if
that works
You can find the domain name in sqlnet.ora file.

Importing music, artwork and data base from external hard drive

I purchased a MacBook to use primarily as a music server. I have an external hard drive with over 300GB of music files ripped from CDs in Apple Lossless with a computer using Windows XP. I also have another external hard drive formatted for the Mac. My goal is to attach both drives to the MacBook via USB and transfer the music files, album art, and iTunes data base from the Windows system hard drive to the new Mac formatted hard drive. Then I am going to reformat the Windows system hard drive to the Mac format and use it as a back up for the other hard drive. Has anyone ever done something similar? If so, I would appreciate some guidance. If possible, I want to do the above so that the file names and artwork from the Windows itunes system do not get changed or left out when making the transfer to the Mac system. All music files will still be in ALAC. Thanks to all for your help.

Lots of programs out there from which to choose. In the meantime, don't access the drive.

Run form from form builder

Hi,
I am using Form 6i and copied Forms60Libraries in my local machine. I am developing form which will be registered with oracle apps. Now I want to run this form locally instead of uploading into server everytime while testing which I don't have access depending on other for this move.
So, Please guide me to run this form from Form Builder locally if there is a way.
Thanks in advance.

As Alex suggested, you will need local copies of all the required Apps resource files (*.pll, *.plx, etc). Running an Apps form from the Forms Builder does not require any special setup on your workstation beyond this. However, even with all the required resource files you will run into errors each time your form calls one of the standard apps built-ins. It has been a while since I've worked with Apps, but I was able to get around the calls to these built-ins by checking if the Form was running on the web or client/server and only calling the Apps built-in if running on the web. It was a bit of a pain to setup, but it was worth being able to test my form localling from the Forms Builder rather than upload the form to the server in order to test the runtime. Here is how I accomplished this. In each trigger that calls an Apps built-in (eg: APP_STANDARD.Event) do the following. Typically, I only needed to add the following code the Form level triggers, but it depended on each form.
/* Example When-New-Form-Instance */
DECLARE
   UI_type   VARCHAR2(15) := Get_Application_Property(USER_INTERFACE);
BEGIN
   IF ( UI_type = 'WEB' ) THEN
      -- Execute Apps built-ins...
      APP_STANDARD.EVENT('WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE');
   END IF;
   -- Perform the rest of your processing here
END;Hope this helps,

Unable to connect to Oracle 9i from Forms 6i

Hi,
I have Oracle 9.2.0 (Personal edition) and Forms 6i installed on a Win2K PC.
I am able to connect to the DB from SQLPLUS. But, I am unable to connect to the DB from Forms 6i. Can anyone suggest where am I going wrong and what is that I need to do to resolve the problem.
Thanks in advance!!!

Normaly forms6i uses Tnsnames.ora file to connect to the database. You need to setup your Tnsnames.ora file correctly by clicking Start---Programs---Directory for Oracle--Oracle net8 easy config, and configure your database connection.

Connect to remote database from forms

hi,
I installed 10g developer suite on windows.I have a 10g database running on HPUX server.
I need to connect to this database from forms ( i,e from windows ).
Do i need to install an Oracle client so that forms can talk to a remote database?
I edited C:\Forms_Dev\NETWORK\ADMIN/tnsnames.ora to include the remote database entry. It's not working. So I am thinking maybe I need to install oracle client as a go between.
Thanks

Do i need to install an Oracle client so that forms can talk to a remote database?No, Tnsnames (NET8) is enough.
Write us you tnsnames.ora or try
tnsping <serverdb> from client, and check.

FRM-10242: Cannot call linked-in Forms from Form Builder. error

FRM-10242: Cannot call linked-in Forms from Form Builder.
Cause: The menu designer specified a call to linked-in Forms from within Form Builder.
Action: Notify your DBA.
does anyone know why this happens.
I have this main-menu.. and when i click on one of the submenus which should call the form....i get this error.

Same issue here... Been trying to get this working since a week now. I tried all the solutions like memory heap and all but no luck.
One thing that I would like to know is that, in some threads the resolution was to recompile the INS_FORMS.MK file under /forms/lib32 but with my installation I don't have that "lib32" folder under /forms/ and I can not even find that file anywhere in my entire installation.
I am using 12.1.1 on Windows Server 2008.
Any help or guidelines is greatly appreciated.

Unable to run the form from Form Builder 10g

HI,
I am having a problem with running a form with form builder 10g.
I have create a form with some text boxes to display values in a table.
When i compile and run the form it does not run The error shown is
HTTP 403(Forbidden) You are not authorised to view this page.
The Link used for the above is:
http://127.0.0.1:1740/sWuCqhMKUT1btA1N5cXLCRshkJzmgKRIlCEUFd9RL520LVq0
The port number 1740 changes everytime. I dont know why.
I have started the OC4J instance before starting the Form Builder.
I have made the changes to the runtime preferences in the form builder.
http://localhost:8889/forms/frmservlet
But it doesn't work when i try to run the form from Form Builder.
ie Program-->Run Form
The form works properly when using the 'Run a form on the Web Utility' provided with Developer Suite.
Can anyone please suggest a solution. I have searched the forum but didnot find a solution.
Thanks
V.S.

One of our DBAs has installed the software.
It was a default installation, I believe, as no configuration was done during the installation except for increasing the virtual memory size.
Post installation we changed the tnsnames.ora file and the sqlnet.ora file.
Do i need to configure something ?
Thanks,
V.S.

Run report 9i from form builder 9i

Dear all,
I build report from report builder 9i.
How to run this report in form builder 9i.
Best regards,
Jansen Hutagalung.

Jansen,
I really like short questions, but yours missing the point. What do you mean by running Reports from Forms builder? Do you mean how to run it from a Forms application started from Forms builder? There is a Whitepaper in teh collateral section of otn.oracle.com/products/forms that immediately makes you an expert in Forms/Reports integration

How to make a .exe from form builder?

Hi,there:
How can i make a .exe from form builder which can run without form builder?

Hi,
You can try to create a batch-file. For instance on WinNT create a CMD file. On Win95/98 create a batch file.
In that you can use (depending on where you've installed forms/ reports)
D:\orant\binf50run32.exe <user>/<password>@<database> <startform>.fmx
Hope this helps

Broken URL in executing forms from Form Builder (10g)

From Form Builder I'm trying to execute a form "opened".
I push "Run Form" button and i can see Explorer opening with a wrong URL :
"http://%%20http://127.0.0.1:3696/4gjkr8swXxZKBJppfymDMZmBSac7cACualcFLIa3Vgsk6hmm"
Obviously, "http://%%20" are wrong characters. If I erase them, I can see my form correctly executed. But I can't understand where are wrong characters .. in registry ?? ... in a configuration file ??
From Form Builder, i can only change the "Application Url" from Preferences/Runtime tab, but this is the "second" URL, and not the First startup Url.
Any helps ?

See Metalink Note 238159.1 for several solutions and/or workarounds for this problem.
