Control blocks/MS Help problem

When using control blocks in generated forms/Headstart, you're
required to give them an alias of qms$ctrl.
If you then try to generate MS help for the form, it doesn't
work for the control block. Think it's because of the '$'
character, looks like this is a significant symbol to the MS
help compiler.
Any ideas for a fix/workaround?

Cheryl,
This is a known issue for Headstart for Designer 1.3.2. The work
around is the following:
1. change the following initialization command in qms$init_appl
in your application library (or qmslib34 if you don't have such a
library):
l_control_block varchar2(50) := 'QMS$CTRL';
should read
l_control_block varchar2(50) := 'QMS_CTRL';
2. Make the same name change to all your existing control block
definitions in Designer and regenerate those modules.

SOS Help!! Control Block is hitting me on my nerves....

Hello All!
I have a problem and id any body can solve this then i will be very thankful to her/him.
Actually, i have four tables.One of them(studentfee) has two primary keys.(Rollono & Date)in this table the rollno is both PK & FK which reference the rollno of student table.Now problem is that i have a control block and two txt items on it. One is for Month and is used to add the date in the studentfee table and other fields will be added by mean of another data block.And that is the problem bcs the form generate the error(may be bcs other primary key is not entered).
I think that this problem can be solved by Global variable(assigning the values to Golbal variable in the control block form
and referencing them in the data block form)
but this is not helping,too.Now i know
that i am doing something wrong but couldn't grasp that one.Either i am not generating right code for Global variables OR am starting another session that is why the form is unable to get information from the global variable when i use it in the next form.
Another question is that: Is there any way to build an .exe Or other file of my
project which can be run and be ported to another machine(with all tables and data).
Please, send me the answer to my email or to the oracle site and i will be very thankul to you. Bye..

Hi,
In one block you can have items EXPLECITELLY belonging to only one DB table. You mention this table in the property palette of the block.
If your block has items which belong to other DB table one way (but not the only way) to work around is with POST_QUERY trigger using primarykey_foreignkey (or other) relation to insert in the item the appropriate value. If there are many values we use master-detail relationships and second block.
Do not forget before exiting the block to insert, update, delete ,etc. the changed value belonging to different tables using the PRE_INSERT, PRE_UPDATE, ... etc. triggers.
Try to by a book explaining the Forms principles and methods.
Keep in eye that Forms is a complex, very complex software tool. Before using them successful you have to invest time and efforts to study the basic solution methods.
Success!

I have Problem in fetching data from CONTROL BLOCK

Sir,
I am facing problem in fetching data from control block.
Asif.

is your control-block a filter-block for the detail-block?
Do you want to see only the detail-data of the user-id you have displayed in the master?

Is there a solution to parental controls blocking https?

I have seen many posts regarding parental controls blocking any website that has SSL or https, but they are for older versions of OS X. Is there a solution for the latest version of Mavericks? I am amazed that the problem has persisted as long as this without Apple coming up with a better version of Parental Controls that can actually block inappropriate content not just ALL content. Thanks for any help out there!

No No No No I'm talking about completely shutdown

Change to display field on control block not reflected until form refreshed

Hi guys, hope someone out there can help me with this query.
I'm currently developing a form that will allow users to generate offer letters and contracts via a custom form which is used within Apps 11i. This form is a fairly standard multi-text field form with tickboxes which hold the applicant details, two buttons (one to Select All, the other to Clear All) and another button to produce the actual contracts selected.
There is also a display field which is part of the control block attached to the form; both it and the Produce Contracts button are part of this control block. I've added a bit of code to change the text in the display field to inform the user that the contract or contracts they've requested are being generated, but although the call to the relevant code to do this appears before kicking off the concurrent request to generate the contracts, the update to the field fails to appear until after the concurrent request is complete and its output appears on another screen.
Does anyone know why this is? I've racked my brains over it and can't seem to understand why. I've pasted the code in below if anyone has any ideas!
Many thanks, Geoff

I had a similar problem, but it was with the message line. I found that with Web Forms, I had to issue the Synchronize; a second time, but in Client/Server Forms 6i, the first synchronize worked. Here is the code I used:
<pre><font face = "Lucida Console, Courier New, Courier, Fixed" size = "1" color = "navy"> SYNCHRONIZE;
if Get_Application_Property(User_Interface) = 'WEB' then
synchronize;--first does not work on web
end if;</font></pre>
Let us know if this works.

How to clear a record of control block

i have one control block with 2 items and the Max. records displayed property is set to 10.I have populated 5 records and now i want to clear one record, but the clear_record statement does not seem to be working. How to clear a record in a control block. Please help me out in this doubt of mine.

You have probably moved focus to another block. You have to go_block and maybe go_record before using clear_block.

Data block or control block

any one please suggest : which is faster and better in 9i forms/reports applications, a data block with form triggers(pre,post,commit_form) for DML ; or a control block with explicit DML for retreiving and posting from/to data base.
can PJC help in boosting performance. How ?

Thanks but a.I find the busy dumble for a while before allowing the user to type the content in a database item (at a w/s in LAN about 900 meters away from AS). Posibly validating the item all the way to the database and back.
b. I found certain form triggers failing e.g. pre/post update resulting erroneous enterprise data.

If you only restored from backup, restore to factory defaults/new iPod. If you then still have the problem it is likely a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Db_checkpoint: Unable to allocate thread control block

Hello,
Every second day BDB 4.8 runs out of cache memory (size = 512MB).
We have 10 static worker processes (no segfaults) and one
db_checkpoint-process (checkpoints once a minute and exists).
We use only DB_WRITE_NOSYNC
After two days the db_checkpoint-process reports:
db_checkpoint: Unable to allocate thread control block
As soon as this error apears, I can neither checkpoint nor
db_recover.
Is there any chance (or a patch) to track down the memory leak?
Thanks

Hi Sandra,
It happened again one hour ago. I had hardly problems with BDB 4.6
Down below you will find a current "db_stat -e"
We have 10 workers with persistent db-connection and once a minute
a cronjob starts a checkpoint, then the cron-process exists.
Every second day (40 to 48 hours) the checkpoint-process can't connect
to the database and "db_checkpoint -1" says:
db_checkpoint: Unable to allocate thread control block
A normal "db_recover" would corrupt the database, I had to recover
catastrophic.
For sure the cache is not to small (512 MB, all database files: 1,3 GB)
Thanks

Previous record dont show in control block

Hi
I have 2 blocks, one is control and other is database so this is working well but when i press F8 then it show records and i move to next record then it show data in both blocks but when i try to back (previous record) then it show data in my database data block not in my control block................
Any help
thanks in advance
REgards,

Andreas Weiden Reply:
As i understand you want to populate some items in a non-database-block with additional information to the current record in the database-block.
The "right" way:
Do not create a non-database-block for the additional items at all, simply place the additional items in the database-block with property "Database Item"= No. If you want to show only 1 line of data and your database-blcok is tabular, set "No. of records displayed" to "1" for the non-database-items.
Now put the code to populate the items into the POST-QUERY-trigger of your database-block.
The "other" way:
Keep the additional items in the non-database-block where they are, and put your code to populate the items in the WHEN-NEW-RECORD-INSTANCE-trigger of your database-block.

Missing Parental Controls Pane! Help!

For some time I've not been able to access some apps of mine because of Parental Controls blocking them, I know my Admin password and all but apparently the Parental Preferences are 'missing and not available', please help. I really need and love the apps that the Other Admin person some how managed to block from use and also some how managed to get rid of the Startup Disk, Sharing and Parental Control Preferences from the System Preferences, magically. The Icons and names of them are still there but it says 'Could not load [Name] Preferences Pane'. Please please help D:
By the way, I'm using a Macbook Air, updated to version 10.9, But I don't even know if that would make my macbook a mavericks, since it's the only Operating system that's 10.9 on Mac OS X.

iTunes needs an administrator account name and password to lock parental controls; i.e. you need to set Windows to require a password to login to your account before you can lock the controls.

Tab pages which Database and Control Block.

I have 3 tab pages, 1st and 2nd with database first block and 3rd page has a control block .
When I query these Pages I only get one record display though it is a multiple record block with scroll.
The only difference is that every pages contain multiple blocks with relationship created.
If some one can help me to bring all the records when I execute the query through F8 key.
Thanx

RM-30410: Warning: Single Record property ignored for non-control block

Hi gurus,
I have one block, as oracle default behavious is that when any user enters record and during that if he/she hits down arrow key then it gets to next new record, i want to prevent this behaviour.
In other words i want that user should not enter second record and if he or she needs to enter second record after saving first then user can only do if he navigate to the form second time.
In property pallete i put yes to single record but when i compile the form it gives me following warning
FRM-30410: Warning: Single Record property ignored for non-control block Employees
Created form file C:\my_forms\employees.fmxPlease seeks help that how can i sort it out.
Thank you
Hina

if he/she hits down arrow key then it gets to next new record, i want to prevent this behaviour. Change the block's key-down and/or key-nxtrec trigger to
begin
null;
end;(or give the user a message "Key not allowed here").
