Cursor not right-justifying in Oracle Forms 11.1.1.6.0

Hi All,
A user notice during testing that 'cursor not right-justifying' in a field on a form. There were not such problem in the old forms enviroment 10.1.2.0.2 and clients running JInitiator 1.3.1.22. The new forms enviroment is Oracle weblogic 10.3.6, Oracle forms and report 11.1.1.6.0, using forms demo pack cursorpos.jar and demo90.jar, have try the 11g demo pack but still the same problem, any ideas?
Thanks
Ola

A user notice during testing that 'cursor not right-justifying' in a field on a form.What exactly do you mean by "cursor not right-justifying"?
You will find noticable differences between the way the Oracle Jinitiiator and Oracle (Sun) Java work. Remember, the Jinitiator was based on the Sun JRE/JDK 1.3 and Forms 11g will be using either Java 1.6.0 or 1.7.0.

Reports which generate Excel output do not open under ie8/Oracle Forms

Hello,
we run Oracle Forms (regardless whether under Jinitiator 1.3.1.22(28) or SUN JVM) and generate Excel output with Oracle Reports (web.show_document). This works well under Internet Explorer 6 (ie6) but not under Internet Explorer 8 (ie8).
The effect ist that a new browser window opens and closes very quickly without anything further happening.
I honestly assume that this has not to do with oracle reports but ask this nevertheless in this forum as there might be people which made the same experiences...
I additionally found out that the same problem exists when gerenating excel or ms word output via a db procedure (with http. modules). There I found that suppressing the question (open/save/cancel) before opening a file (via the windows explorer file type association menu) helped with excel and ms word output (but this might be regarded as a not satisfying workaround).
The problem persists with other applications' file types than XLS or DOC which are also correctly registered on the client.
I'm not sure whether mimetypes sent along with the files (which were obviously correct with ie6) play a role in this problem.

Hello,
Your problem with IE 8 seems to be similar to the one discussed here :
IE7 windows opened and closed immediatly

t_Explorer/Q_23304982.html
You can test the solution suggested :
We have found the setting that we needed, under the Internet Options
Security tab, if you select the internet zone, and click the custom level
button, then scroll down to the Downloads section, the first option is
Automatic prompting for file downloads, setting this to enable keeps IE 7
from interfering with this sort of download.

Sapscript Justified, Not left-justified, not right-justified, but Justified

In Sapcript (46c) I would like to use Alignment Justfied (or Block). Not Left-Justified or Right-Justified. I have created a Paragraph Format with alignment Justfied (Block) and used it in the Std Text which is called as an INCLUDE in the Sapcript. But it does not align as a Block.

Hi Julie, it may be a silly question but....have you tried using the paragraph format directly in the sapscript rather than in an include? It could be an issue with the include. I don't mean stop using the include in your long-term solution just test it out to see if you can get the justified format working in-line.
Cheers,

ORA-01007 - variable not in select list - Oracle forms 6i

Hi!
I´m creating an form with one field called "txtquery". The user can write a query on this field and click on button with code above. The form will create a text file with the result of the query writing. I managed to create a function in oracle and it worked perfectly but I want to solve without creating any object in the database.
Sorry for my bad english!

But, on line "VSTATUS := EXEC_SQL.EXECUTE(VCURSOR);" i get the error (ORA-01007 - VARIABLE NOT IN SELECT LIST). Whats is wrong?
Thanks a lot!!!

The user can write a query on this field and click on button with code above.This is such a big NO NO NO! A user writing his own queries? You are really asking for problems.
VSTATUS := EXEC_SQL.EXECUTE(VCURSOR); -- ----------------------->> ERROR HERE!!!!!!!!What is the value of vcursor?

Arabic is not displayed properly in Oracle Forms...

Hi,
I'm using oracle 9i database and forms 6i. mt database contains arabic data and the character set of database is "UTF8". when i display the data in arabic in forms, it is giving junk characters. i set the NLS_LANG for forms to UTF8 in the registry. still the arabic is not showing properly.
pl. tell me how i can resolve this problem.
regards
george

Hi Gregor
I think you're out of luck. There is no Arabic language pack for Xcelsius.
When you're in design mode, you're using the Windows OS features, but when you try to preview or export then Xcelsius begins the process of converting the xlf to a swf. And since there is no lang pack it doesn't know what to do with the Arabic characters.

Not able to run Oracle Form

I've connected to the database (Oracle 10g) and I have created a basic form and I also started the OC4J instance. When I try to run the form by clicking Run Form, it opens a webpage, but closes immediately. I've saved the form (test.fmb) in a folder with test.fmx but it won't run. Can someone please help me to get the form running in IE?
Thanks,
Chrys

Chrys,
Sounds like you are trying to run the form from your desktop. To do this you must have a Java Virtual Machine installed and the Forms runtime must know how to access the JVM. You can either install the Oracle Jinitiator or modify the formsweb.cfg file and find the IE directive. It is defaulted to IE=JInitiator. To use the Browser native JVM change this value to: IE=native. Of course, you will have to have an OC4J instance started to run the form.
Hope this helps.

Mouse Scroll Not Working in oracle forms

Hi,
I Created a master and detail block.. In Detail block following Properties i set
No. of Records to be displayed : 10
Scroll bar : no
Without having the scroll bar i wannt to check all the records in the detail Block.
for this i created key_scrolldown trigger in form levl called thye builtin
SCROLL_DOWN;
i'm using Oracle 10g.. JIniator for Running Oracle Forms
applying this Coding this function is not working..
Can anybody tell this How to oversome from this...???
Cheers.

What version of Oracle Forms are you using? You should always include this in your posts. :)
Mouse scrolling is only enabled in Web runtime of Forms - so you must be using Forms 9i or higher.
Does JRE Support mouse scrolling function?If memory serves, Mouse scroll was first introduced in Java 1.5.0. Therefore, if you want enble the mouse scroll wheel in Forms, you must be using JRE 1.5.0 or higher. I strongly recommend you use Java 1.6.0_33 or higher - but do not use Java 1.7.0 as it has not been certified with Oracle Forms yet.
In order to use the JRE over the Jinitiator, you must modify your configuration to enable use of the JRE. Please take a look at Oracle 10gR2 Forms Services – Using Sun's Java Plug-in. This Oracle White Paper is for Forms 10g Release 2, but the instructions are basically the same for 9i and 11g as well.
Hope this helps,
Craig B-)

Problem with Image IO jre on Oracle Form

I'm using PJC to run my Text Editor program from Oracle Form. The Editor has an Image drag & drop option and I have to upgrade the jre with Image I/O API for this functionality. To upgrade jre the tool 'jai_imageio_1_0_01-lib-windows-i586-jre' needs to be installed. When I upgrade jre with this tool and run my program independently from Oracle Form, it runs well but when I run this right there from Oracle Form it doesn't run and exception is thrown on javax.imageio and other packages that are part of that tool even though the Oracle Developer's jdk is upgraded with this tool. Could anyone help me resolve this problem?

Hi,
This is a JDeveloper help forum, the Formsforum can be found at Forms Now you might think that Forms developers don't understand Java well enough, they do however understand teh Forms context and this is important to answr the question.
a) Which Java version does your ben require?
b) Are you using JInitiator or JavaPlugin (Jinitiator only supports Java 1.3)
c) Is your PJC signed? Note that running an app stand alone as a Java app does not require special grants. Running it within a JavaApplet - as Forms is - does execute teh bean in a security sandbox, for which reasons the jar file must be signed and the public key be available in the Forms certdb.txt file (assuming Jinitiator)
d) An exception stack trace gives more information than "Oracle Form it doesn't run and exception is thrown on javax.imageio and other packages", which is meanlingless to me and others. Teh stack trace canbe copied from teh JInitiator console
I recommend resending this question to the Forms forum

Integrate a Oracle Forms Application in SAP Enterprise Portal

Hello togheter,
i would like to integrate a Oracle Froms Application in our SAP Enterprise Portal. We use Oracle Froms AS 10g v10.0.2. I read that oracle forms supports single-sign-on, but i don't understand exactly how does it works? What steps i need to do? Has anybody experience in this topic? Supports oracle forms application SAP Logon Tickets?
Many thanks in advance and greetz,

Hello, thanks for your answer.
I can't use the first option from you, because of the necessity to use SAP Logon Tickets.
If i understand everthing right, it is possible to implemant the SAP-Logon-Ticket-Libary in the integrated application. By Oracle Forms is this not possible, because it is a framework application. The authentification to the Oracle Forms application is transferred over the Oracle Application Server. It is also no possiblity to implement the libary in the application server.
Today i talked to the Oracle Support and they said that one solution is to use the Oracle Access Management as Middle-Software between SAP EP and Oracle Application Server.
What do you think about this solution? It is really not possbile to integrate Oracle forms in SAP EP with SAP-Logon-Ticket without an extra software?
Thanks in advance,

To set access key for push button in oracle forms 11g

Dear Team,
I have following setup:-
We are using oracle database 11gR2
Oracle Forms & reports : 11.1.2
O.S : Windows 7 Professional
We have migrated oracle forms version from 6i to 11g
In oracle forms 6i in save button's property palette we set access key as 'S', so when we press alt+S cursor move to save button, same is not working in oracle forms 11g.
What changes I have to made in new version so that after pressing alt+S cursor will move to save button.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.

You will need to define your custom key map in the key mapping file you use. Typically fmrweb.res or fmrpcweb.res. Edit the file in a text editor and take a look to figure out where you need to make the change.This is wrong! The OP is talking about the Access Key (key mnemonic's) of a button. This has nothing to do with the mapping of keys in the frmweb.res, etc., files.
@parapr, You don't mention the Java version installed and you don't mention if your OS is 32-bit or 64-bit. Likely, this issue could be related to an incompatible Java version. We use Access Keys in our 11g R2 application and they work just fine. Our Java version is 1.6.0_31. If you are using Java 1.7.0 - this version is not yet certified with Oracle Forms and I would recommend you downgrade to 1.6.0 (latest version).

Weblogic 10.3.2 as a replacement of OAS 10g full of Oracle Forms

hello, quick question: Can I take a entire system in Oracle Forms with OAS 10g technology and deploy them on a Weblogic 10.3.2 as an upgrade/replacement option ?
Can weblogic run Oracle forms out of the box or is there a vendor lock-in trick ?
Thanks in advance,
fabio

Out of the box, WLS is not able to run Oracle Forms.
At the time of this writing, for a complete replacement you need the following components:
- WLS 10.3.2
- OFM 11g Forms
(optional for single sign-on)
- OFM 11g OID
- AS 10.1.4 OID DAS and mod_osso
