Daexport from forms to relational database (sql)

Hi, We have setted an export rule (dataexport) trough which our users do the right click on the form and export data to an sql table.
I would like to know which is the followed order of eported dimensions. Does it depends on performance setting? or what? I was wondering this since We have changed our performance settings and after that moment 3 columns of the sql table do not match with the exported data( eg the scenario column in sql has data of the Year dimension).
thanks

Not able to create XML from an existing relational database

Hi,
I am trying to create and xml from an existing relational database. I am not able to get any XML data, I receive "XMLTYPE()" as the result.
Here's the query -
SQL> select o.order_id, XMLELEMENT("order", XMLATTRIBUTES(o.order_id as ID)) AS "result" from order_
info o where order_id=2793;
ORDER_ID
result()
+2793+
XMLTYPE()
I was expecting to get +<order id=2793 />+ instead of XMLTYPE().
I am using -
SQLPlus: Release 9.0.1.0.1*
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production
I have also run some checks to confirm XML DB installation -
SQL> select 1 from all_users where username = 'XDB';
+1+
+1+
SQL> desc RESOURCE_VIEW;
Name                                      Null?    Type
RES                                                SYS.XMLTYPE
ANY_PATH                                           VARCHAR2(4000)
RESID                                              RAW(16)
I think, I have something wrong with installation or configuration.
Any idea about what have I done wrong here?

Works fine now. Got the result "<order ID="2793"></order>".
Thanks. :-)

Sending arrays from Forms to Oracle PL/SQL

Hi All,
I'm stuck up in an urgent requirement where I want to send an array of values(eg., PL/SQL table) with a number of rows say 100 from Forms 6i to Oracle PL/SQL. PL/SQL table is based on a record type consists of a number of columns say 10.
The actual scenario is that, Forms interactive screen (multiple record block) does validations on the values entered by users and then it should send all the rows together to a Stored Procedure or Packaged procedure. Packaged procedure receives the PL/SQL table, does processing on the data values of the PL/SQL table and send it back to Forms 6i.
Please help me in getting the solution on this urgent problem. There is a flexibility of using any kind of arrays, it can be PL/SQL, Nested table or varrays.
Thanks.

one array-element, but I need n-elements. First I start a test with
a procedure and a package.

4.5 to 6i migration or report calling from forms in XE???

Hi Friends,
I really appreciate your helping tendency. Let me explain the whole scenario.
My application basically consists of
Forms [32 Bit] Version 5.0.6.8.0 (Production)
Report Builder 3.0.5.8.0
Oracle Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production
Now we migrated our database into Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production. After the migration all the existing forms and report individually were running without any problem. But there was a huge problem. Whenever I tried to call any report from any form the report engine appeared and then stopped responding. So report calling from forms was not possible after the database migration. I was suggested by someone from OTN forum to migrate my forms and reports into 6i. I have started doing the migration using ifcmp60. WIth forms 6i, reports can be called from forms. But I am facing problem in every other steps. There are many things are not working after the migration though the migration log shows no error. For example, COMMIT_FORM, EXECUTE_QUERY (for detail table), LOV, TOOL.GETVAR lots of things are not working.
My application has 200 forms and 250 reports.
Please help and advise on:
How to call reports from form when the database is XE Or
How to overcome the stated migration problem
Rgds,
Luther

Dear Mark:
I have two choices. I can either migrate to 6i or I can go with the existing 4.5. If I go with 4.5 ......the reports are not being called from forms. This problem is happening after I changed the database from 9i to XE. Please advise what to do so that I can keep my forms in 4.5, database in XE and can call reports from forms.

How to send formatted mail from form 6i

Hi,
There is requirment in my project to send formatted mail from form 6i.The database used in 9i.In normal form we can send normal mail.However our requirment is such that the mail content should have company logao pics and it should display data in coloured format based on data fetched from database.How can this be done.
l

What method are you using to send email from your form now? If you are using UTL_SMTP, you can set the MIME_TYPE = 'HTML' as Francois suggests. If you are using an OLE call to Outlook or a email JavaBean? The method you use to send email will dictate how you send Rich Text/HTML email messages.

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: Oracle_Home 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
Oracle_Home 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
C:\webutile is the folder where you extracted Jacob, and will end in ...\jacob_18
cd C:\webutile
copy jacob.jar Oracle_Home\forms\java\.
copy jacob.dll Oracle_Home\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 Oracle_Home\jdk\bin to the PATH:
set PATH=Oracle_Home\jdk\bin;%PATH%
Sign the files, and check the output for success:
Oracle_Home\forms\webutil\sign_webutil Oracle_Home\forms\java\frmwebutil.jar
Oracle_Home\forms\webutil\sign_webutil Oracle_Home\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 Oracle_Home\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/webutil@rcci
@Oracle_Home\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 Oracle_Home\forms\server\default.env, and append Oracle_Home\jdk\jre\lib\rt.jar
to the CLASSPATH entry.
6) Modify Oracle_Home\forms\server\formsweb.cfg insde [default] add :
archive_jini=frmall_jinit.jar,frmwebutil.jar,jacob.jar
archive=frmall.jar
also add :
[webutil]
WebUtilLogging=off
WebUtilLoggingDetail=normal
WebUtilErrorMode=Alert
WebUtilDispatchMonitorInterval=5
WebUtilTrustInternal=true
WebUtilMaxTransferSize=16384
baseHTMLjinitiator=webutiljini.htm
baseHTMLjpi=webutiljpi.htm
baseHTML=webutilbase.htm
archive_jini=frmall_jinit.jar
WebUtilArchive=frmwebutil.jar,jacob.jar,f90all.jar
archive=frmwebutil.jar,f90all.jar
lookAndFeel=oracle
7) Modify Oracle_Home\forms\server\webutil.cfg and add :
transfer.database.enabled=TRUE
transfer.appsrv.enabled=TRUE
8) Start the OC4J instance
9) 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.
10) 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).
11) 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
12) Run your form.

How to connect to SQL Server from Forms 10g?

Hello all,
How do we connect to SQL Server database from Forms 10g?
In Oracle Metalink site they have suggested using Transparent Gateway for SQL Server as a solution.
But is there a way we can connect directly to SQL Server from Forms using an ODBC connection
without installing anything on the database server?
Pls help!
Regards,
Sam

Hello all,
I was able to connect to SQL Server from Oracle using Generic Connectivity (HSODBC).
Transparent gateway was not required.
Followed metalink note 109730.1
So, after I created a dblink to SQL Server, I created a synonym for the dblinked SQL Server table.
When I used the synonym as the table source in Oracle Forms, I got the following error while querying.
"ORA-02070 - ROWID is not supported in this context."
This is because Forms has an invisible ROWID field and when data is fetched from SQL Server table
no Rowid is fetched since SQL Server table doesn't have one.
Is there a way to overcome this issue or do we have populate the block manually using a SQL query ?
Pls suggest.
Regards,
Sam

Calling SQL*Loader from Forms

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has called SQL*Loader from Forms?
What I am wanting to do is use Oracle Forms as the interface where you can specify a file that you can import into the database and it will use a set control file. Push the import button and SQL*Loader does the rest.
Is using Java code to call SQL*Loader from Forms a viable option, or is there an easier way to achieve the desired outcome.
Any ideas or guidance will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Scott.

Scott,
In forms, there's a HOST built-in command which is supposed to execute any o/s commands.
What you have to do is :
1. Bult up the string exacltly in the fashion which you will run in o/s
2. Call the HOST Built-in and pass in the string
Here's a example :
Declare
lOsCmd Varchar2(1000) := Null;
Begin
lOsCmd := 'sqlldr user-id=userid/passwd@connectStr '
|| ' control=c:\temp\abc.ctl log=c:\temp\abc.log '
|| ' bad = c:\temp\abc.log';
Host (lOsCmd, No_Screen);
End;

How can I access database from FORMS 6i?

Dear co-developers,
I am new to developing and just installed Oracle forms 6i but when i try to access my database schema tables from forms 6i I get TNS error saying it could not resolve the service name. I need help in two things:
1. I wanna know how to (and where to) make appropriate change in TNSnames.ora file or any other file to make things work.(I request u to explain in detail)
2. what is the concept of oracle homes? Oracle forms 6i takes a new oracle home. And Oracle 9i Database takes another home.
I have Oracle 9i Release 2 installed on windows XP pro.
Thanx in advance and looking for a quick response.
Mukesh

hi there,
i wanted to know from you that are you able to access your database from sql*plus?,if yes then i will give you the step by step info on how to configure your tnsnames.ora file automatically or manually.
Automatic step
1.Open net 8 easy config from start menu under programs where ur forms application shortcuts are installed.
2.if the net 8 easy config doesnt open make a windows search for the file name symcjit.dll if the file is found rename it to any other name.
3.if after renaming the file still you are not able to open it then you have to go by the manual way.which is concluded next
4.now you have to add the database alias here.click on the add service and press next.
5.provide your database name here in the service name text box.dont change the port number leave as it is.
6.now again give your database in the sid text field.
7.hit next and test you connection with scott/tiger or any other user.
8.if the test is succesfull exit the configurator and test you forms for connectivity.
first try this if nothing happens i'll post the manual method.

Problems related to SQL application migration from 6.5 to 7.0

we have developed our application with D2K as the front end and MS-SQL6.5 server as the database. We are trying to migrate the application to MS-SQL7.0 server as the database.
The following are the limitations we are facing
1) It has been seen that whenever an Insert statement is executed against a table, the table is getting locked and it is not possible to execute subsequent DML statements until the insert lock on the table has been released.
2) Whenever a particular row is selected, then that row is getting locked and it is not able to select the same row again.
From these two observations, we came to a conclusion that in SQLSERVER 6.5, process-id will be assigned for a Batch and the LOCK will be created for the batch and hence two users cannot simultaneously commit the transaction and in SQLSERVER 7.0 each DML Statement in a Batch is given a process-id and the LOCK will be created for each DML Statement, the LOCK will be released only when a commit statement is issued. So the DML Statements which refer to the table that has been locked will be in a deadlock situation. That is the reason why the system is getting hanged.
please post us with a possible solution for the above situation at the earliest.

Krish,
I would think since your question is more related to SQL Server instead of the Oracle products you're using, that you might be better off to search Microsoft's Knowledgebase.

Inserting records from Infopath forms library to a SQL table

Hi,
I have a requirement where i need to populate records from a Infopath forms library to a SQL table in a database. We have written a console app to achive the same. However we are encountering performance issues when inserting records in the database. The
way we retreive information from Infopath forms library is through a CAML query and then insert record by record in database. Is their a better and faster way to acheive this?
Can someone pls help?
thanks,
Anand
Thanks and Regards, Anand R. Deshpande

Hello Anand,
Could you share you console application code? Also tell us when you face performance issue. I mean is there any problem in accessing infopath form or you are facing problem with only console application.

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.
