Connect to Database from FORMS API - Forms 6i

Hi,
We have a requirement of connecting to a Database from the Forms API. I have written few Forms API from the header files provided by ORACLE. But all of those doesnt require to connect to the database.
Now, i have a requirement to connect to a database and query from a table and so on. I hope many of this forum users would have developed many such programs.
Please mail me or post a reply to this thread if you have any sample program of the same from where i can take it up.
Thanks in advance

Thanks Sirotic.
We are using only 6.0.8.14.1. So as per your reply i dont have the jar file at my end.
However with the existing C API's i am not sure whether i can achieve my requirement.
Let me explain my exact requirment.
1) Connect to a DB
2) Execute a Select Query to a table and fetch few values and store in a Variable
3) Assign the value to a Trigger of a ITEM.
Is it possible to achieve this through the existing C API or through the Java API you have suggested us. Its better if you can forward any C API stuff for this, as production environment(s) are running with 6.0.8.14.1
Please confirm on this
Thank you in advance.

Problems connecting with database from java API

I've benn using XSQLRequest and I found a problem with
connections, because it can't connect from Java to database, but
if I access to a .xsql it works.
And also if I link to a .xsql first and after that I try to
access to Database form my servlet it works. So I think my
problem is to initialize the XSQLConfig.xml file in OC4J server.
Thanks in advance

Would you provide the way you deploy your XSQL app to OC4J and
how you get JDBC connection using JAVA? I execute the next code more or less:
miXSQLRequest = new XSQLRequest(XSQLQuery.getDOM
(),null);
miXSQLRequest.process(htParamsIn, pWriter, pErrors);
but and it's probabily my mistake I don't get any conecction
from the session or something similar because I thought that
it's made by XSQLRequest, and the XSQLRequest class takes the
default values of the connection pool from the file
XSQLConfig.xml (I put this file inside the lib directory of
OC4J) as the XSQLServlet.
Thanks for your help

Getting exception ORA-12705 while trying to connect to database from forms 9i

Hello All,
I have installed 9i database and I gave path for oracle home as Oracle_path while installing. then I installed 9i dev suite, Installer forced me to use different Oracle home, so I gave Odev_path as path.
I have created server alias name from dev suite to Oracle database and I could connect to database from froms 9i. suddenly it started giving me the following exception when I try to connect database from forms 9i.
ORA-12705 invalid or unknown NLS parameter value specified
could some one help toresolve the issue.
Thanks in advance

I have already seen this document and tried it out, but it didn't work. And I have tried out numerous other tips that I have found in different places on the web.
Is the client installation of any relevance? I notice that this user has a different installation from the one that I have, and that he amongst other things doesn't have sql plus installed.

When connect the Database from Toad , Sqlplus giving the error

when connect the Database from Toad , Sqlplus giving the error
recent changes 12.1.1 installatiojn
Oracle SQL plus encountered a problem and needs to close we are sorry for convenienvce
Oracle Forms Designner has encountered a probloem and needs to close we are sorry for the convenience
Thanks & Regards,
sree

when connect the Database from Toad , Sqlplus giving the error recent changes 12.1.1 installatiojnHave you tried using the same user via simple sqlplus on the database server or apps tier server itself? Please try the same database user/login on the database server using the sqlplus available on the server itself. See what message do you get. If the the login happens, then try with the tns entry e.g. sqlplus username/password@prod and see if that works on the db server. If both of these conditions work the check where is Toad picking up the tns entry from on the client pc/laptop. If first test fails, then check if the account is locked.
Hope this helps.

Unable to connect to database from D2K

Hi,
GoodDay, This is Ramesh. I have loaded both Oracle 9i & D2K in my PC. But i am getting some error message while trying to connect to database from d2k forms. I entered Usename, Password. The message is..
ORA-12203: TNS: Unable to connect to destination
The second time i entered both Username, Password & Database.
User Name: Scott
Passwors : tiger
Database: ORCL9i (SID name)
please let me know where i am lacking..?
Regards,
Ramesh.

Do you connect when you set username , passwd , database....????
If you can via another tool , for example sql*plus then simply , copy the particular setting tns alias , you use to connect to this db, from [ORACLE_HOME]\network\admin\tnesanames.ora and paste it to [DEV2000_HOME]\network\admin\tnsnames.ora

How to connect oracle database from tuxedo

Hi,
How to connect oracle database from tuxedo.
If any one can help me.
Regards,

it depends on configuration your going to choose, there are two ways--
- Using X/Open standards, for this
you have to make an entry of Resource manager in $TUXDIR/udataobj/RM file.
Then in UBBConfig file in GROUPS section u have to set Openinfo.
It also depend on which database you are going to use.
In your service now you need to call tpopen() API from tpsvrinit() function.
- Other possibility is, take an implicit connection using Pro*C or Pro*Cobol whatever platform you are using.

Problem in connecting to database from webdynpro for java

Hi
I have a problem in connecting to database from webdynpro application
I am using oracle 10 express edition as database and was able to connect to database from a java application.But was unable to connect from a webdynpro for java.
<b>I guess webdynpro for java uses open sql instead of vendor sql(I looked in the visual admin ,DB is using open sql) so unable to connect to database.Am i right.?</b>
Do i need to make any settings in the visual admin to make it work?
How to solve this problem.Please give me pointers
Thanks
Bala

Hi,
For connecting to Oracle, either you can use the normal JDBC connectivty code directly which is given below :
DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@Oracle_server_ip:Oracle port:SID of the Database","user_name","password");
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("your query");
In case you want to fetch data through ejbs, these are the steps to be followed :
1) Open the J2EE perspective
2) Create an EJB Module project
3) Right click on ejbModule, create a new EJB (select your EJB type)
4) While creating the ejb itself, you can add business methods by clicking Next in the UI. Another option is after creating the ejb, write the method in the bean, then select the method from ejb-jar.xml -> <bean name> ->method. Right click and select propogate to local & remote.
5) Double click on ejb-j2ee-engine.xml. select your bean and specify a Jndi name for eg: MyJndi.
6) Right click on the EJB project and add classes12.zip file (provided by Oracle) to its build path. (under libraries tab). Also check the same file under Order & Export.
7) Create an Enterprise Application project.
8) Right click on the EJB module project and select add to EAR project, then select the created EAR project.
9) Right click on the EJB project, select Build EJB Archive
10) Right click on the EAR project, select Build Application Archive
11) Open the WebDynpro perspective, open a new project, right click on the project ->properties. Do the following configurations :-
Java Build path - select the EJB project from projects , check the selected project under Order & Export
Project references select the EAR project
WebDynpro references select sharing references tab, click add & make an entry as : <vendor>/<EAR project name without .ear extension>
You can find the vendor name under application-j2ee-engine.xml file of the EAR project. By default it is sap.com. So if my EAR projects name is ABC, my entry would look like sap.com/ABC
12) Now the configurations are over and the EJB can be invoked by writing the client code inside the webdynpro component. Like:
InitialContext context = new InitialContext();
Object obj = context.lookup("MyJndi");
MyEJBHome home = MyEJBHome)PortableRemoteObject.narrow(obj,MyEJBHome.class);
MyEJB mybean = home.create();
int a = 0;
a= mybean.add(10,15);
wdContext.currentContextElement().setSum(a);
where MyEJB is my EJB name and MyJndi is my JNDI name
To connect to Oracle , you can write the usual Java code (given below) as a business methos of the ejb (similar to add() method in the example). And access it like mybean.<businessMethodName>().
DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@Oracle_server_ip:Oracle port:SID of the Database","user_name","password");
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("your query");

Not able to connect RAC database from client

This error means that the hostname or IP address used in the TNS connection string, failed to resolve or connect.
Your client is making two connections. The first connection is to the SCAN listener. It matches a db instance for your connection request based on service requested, available registered service handlers, load balancing, and so on. It then send a redirect to your client informing it of the handler for that service.
Your client then does a second connection to this service (a local RAC listener that will provide you with a connection to the local RAC instance). This is what seems to be failing in your case.
The SCAN listener's redirect uses the hostname of the server that the local listener is running on. Your client needs to resolve that hostname (of a RAC node) to an IP address. This likely fails.
You can add the RAC node hostnames to your client platforms hosts file. The appropriate action however would be to ensure that DNS is used for name resolution instead.

Connecting to a Database from a LiveCycle form

Good morning everyone,
I've been working at understanding how to connect to a database via my livecycle form and up to here, i can easilly enough connect to an ACCESS DB.
I created an ODBC,
a simple 1 table MS Access DB
and a simple form that connects to that DB via the ODBC.
My question is, how do i set this up if i want my clients to use this form? i cant really have that ODBC installed on all their machines, so how can i have this setup instead?
I do have access to a LiveCycle server, but i only have the Extended reader module installed, nothing else. Can it be done and if so, how would i go about setting this up?
If i can get that to work, this would open up a lot of possibilities where i work at.
So what i need is a way to mimic that ODBC setup, but without having to create 5000 ODBC connections on my clients machines
If you need clarifications on anything, please don't hesitate to ask.
Thank you yet again,
PAtrick

Hi Patrick,
You can create a process in workbench which will make the JDBC calls and bring the data (See this - http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/9.0/services.pdf)
Then you can use the SOAP endpoint of this process in the LiveCycle form and invoke the process
Hope this helps.

Upload image to directory and data to database from the same form

Hello all
I'm playing at building a shopping cart (never done one
before) from a tutorial by Gordon Knapp at www.webthang.com.
I have created the site and it works perfectly. Now I want to
extend it.
There is a form that allows the user to add data to the
database. I would also like to be able to upload an image to a
directory on the server and add the data to the database at the
same time from the same form. It would be good if the input field
"<input name="product_picture" type="text" id="product_picture"
tabindex="6" size="50" />" could be populated automatically by
the filename of the image being uploaded, but this isn't a
neccessity.
I have looked at various ASP Upload packages and I can upload
an image alone but none of them make it clear how to upload the
image and add data to the database at the same time.
As this is a private project I need any suggestions to by
free.
The tutorial shows how to create the site in Ultra Dev but
worked perfectly well in DW. The page concerned looks like this. It
is named 'admin_add.asp':

How to connect Oracle database from Active Server page

Hi
This is srinivas aluri
I have developed an application using ASP and MS-SQL7.
Now i want to port this application to Oracle 8i database
I have written my connection in seperate file called
connection.inc using SQL OLEDB provider
If i have to connect oracle database what will be my provider
and what is the exact code for this connection string
Here i am giving the code of SQL databse connection string
strcon= Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Persist Security Info=False;User
ID=sa;Initial Catalog=prjdb;Data Source=servername
i have tried by changing the provider name from SQLOLEDB.1 to
OraOLEDB.oracle
but i could not able connect the database.
It is giving provider not found or not properly installed error.
But the same code is perfectly working from Visual Basic code.

it depends on configuration your going to choose, there are two ways--
- Using X/Open standards, for this
