Database link in forms is different that actual database name

I am using a database link in Oracle Forms 6i, however, the database link name for the referenced database is not the same as the actual databse service/instance name.
It does not work, and I suppose its something to do with the global names feature which is true in the source database it is in a replication group.
I would like to know whether the dblink name which I am using in oracle forms, does it have to have the same name as an entry in the tnsnames.ora file, or can be substituted thgrough any so-calld alias from within oracle forms?
Windows 2k Ad svr, Oracle Forms 6i, DB 9.2.0.1

I recently upgraded my development environment from Forms 10.1.2.0.2 to Forms 10.1.2.3 and am experiencing the same problem -- not able to COMPILE a form that references a database link. The error is: "Error 352 at line 99, column 3 Unable to access another database 'LINKNAME'". This occurs on an UPDATE statement within PL/SQL code in a form trigger that used to compile and work fine.
I tried the database link in SQL Plus and the link is working fine.
Database environment is 10g 10.2.0.3 on Windows Server 2003.
Is anyone able to do this?

  • Can I link two acrobat 9 forms together so that info typed into one is auto populated into the next?

    I have multiple forms that are being created. In some cases I require both forms submitted. Both forms have the same information in the top portion. Is it possible to link the form fields so that once populated it auto populates the corresponding fields in the other form? I can't combine the two forms into one because management thinks that's confusing. Any help is appreciated.

    It's really less of an Acrobat vs. Reader issue than it is the security restrictions that are the default. For example, the "global" object that can be accessed via JavaScript can be used for this, but the user has to allow for it by setting a preference. Other security restrictions can be bypassed if the user installs a custom folder-level JavaScript file.

  • Database link in forms 6i stopped working in database 10g release 2.

    Hi,
    We have Forms 6i with all patches added.
    We were able to recompile the form that contains database link in database 10g release 1 environment. Recently we migrated to database 10g release 2.
    We still can run the form (previously compiled in database 10g release 1), but when we tried to modify the form and recompile it in databbase 10g release 2,
    the forms developer closed down without giving any error message.
    When we removed any reference to the database link from the form, we were able to recompile the form with no problem. Database Linkd in SQL works.
    The question: what do we need to do in the database 10g release 2 to make the link in forms 6i work?
    Thank you. Lev.

  • How to make a form dynamic so that it displays different logos at runtime

    I am working on some assignment wherein I would like to make a form dynamic so that in it's designated image holder it displays different logos/pictures at run time? First of all is there such a possibility?? I am still very new to this forum and also trying to understand the logic/bindings/heirarchy etc. in LCD. Any input would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance

    LC 7 or 8 does not help load logs at runtime. However you can associate all your logs at design time and control their visibility property based on the events. This may help fulfill the requirements you have to an extent however adding number of images at design time will increase the size of the template.

    Olaf:
    Thanks for your reply. Sorry, my bad. I inadvertently copied wrong [name] form the msdb.dbo.backupset. On 3/13 and 3/14, the two file names did not match. In trying to select another example to show you this morning, I found that the names are now matching!
    What I was doing was to create dynamic t-sql to retrieve the latest prod backup of the database, and then restore it with move to the development server. This is an ad-hoc job that the developers can run by themselves whenever they require a refresh. Unfortunately,
    we only keep 3 days worth of backups for these databases, so the original disk file I was trying to use to restore no longer exists. Researching the original error, one of the error descriptions was that the restore could not find the file requested.
    I thought this very strange since I get the file name directly from the backupset table. Further research did indeed show that the file names were different, but unfortunately, I failed to save the details of the file names. Anyway, in looking for a new example
    to show you this morning, I have found that the file names are indeed matching exactly again. If this error pops up again, I will be sure to save all details and re-post.
    Thanks, regards and best wishes to you and yours,

    There is no need to download anything to solve this problem. You may have installed a variant of the "VSearch" ad-injection malware. Follow Apple Support's instructions to remove it.
    If you have trouble following those instructions, see below.
    Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. This procedure works as of now, as far as I know. It may not work in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for a more recent discussion, or start a new one.
    The VSearch malware tries to hide itself by varying the names of the files it installs. To remove it, you must first identify the naming pattern.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons
    In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    A folder named "LaunchDaemons" may open. Look inside it for two files with names of the form
              com.something.daemon.plist
    and
               com.something.helper.plist
    Here something is a variable string of characters, which can be different in each case. So far it has always been a string of letters without punctuation, such as "cloud," "dot," "highway," "submarine," or "trusteddownloads." Sometimes it's a meaningless string such as "e8dec5ae7fc75c28" rather than a word. Sometimes the string is "apple," and then you must be especially careful not to delete the wrong files, because many built-in OS X files have similar names.
    If you find these files, leave the LaunchDaemons folder open, and open the following folder in the same way:
    /Library/LaunchAgents
    In this folder, there may be a file named
              com.something.agent.plist
    where the string something is the same as before.
    If you feel confident that you've identified the above files, back up all data, then drag just those three files—nothing else—to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Close the Finder windows and restart the computer.
    Don't delete the "LaunchAgents" or "LaunchDaemons" folder or anything else inside either one.
    The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you never reinstall it. You can stop here if you like, or you can remove two remaining components for the sake of completeness.
    Open this folder:
    /Library/Application Support
    If it has a subfolder named just
               something
    where something is the same string you saw before, drag that subfolder to the Trash and close the window.
    Don't delete the "Application Support" folder or anything else inside it.
    Finally, in this folder:
    /System/Library/Frameworks
    there may an item named exactly
                v.framework
    It's actually a folder, though it has a different icon than usual. This item always has the above name; it doesn't vary. Drag it to the Trash and close the window.
    Don't delete the "Frameworks" folder or anything else inside it.
    If you didn't find the files or you're not sure about the identification, post what you found.
    If in doubt, or if you have no backups, change nothing at all.
    The trouble may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
    This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Then, still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
    or
              Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
    if it's not already checked.

  • Link a Form Field to new Text Field

    PDF - form field
    Looking for a code to link a form field(text_1, on page #5) to
    another, new form field(text_2, on pages 2-4).
    Maybe a "Page Properties" action (i.e., Page Open: field text_2 = field text_1)
    ~~
    Why....
    busy but here's why
    In the PDF, there are Form fields on page 5 which interface (externalinterface) with an RMA ( a SWF) on page 2.
    This all works well.
    As the form fields must be carried forward (from page 5 to page 2... to interface the RMA),
    the orignal page 5, From fields are copied to pages 2-4 and then "Hidden".
    Again, this works just fine.
    A reset "action" (button) was added to, well, clear the Form Field for easy reuse.
    The reset ''action' does it's job and clears ALL form fields with the same "Name".... on every /all pages.
    This causes the dynamic interface, with the RMA, to display blank fields (within the SWF).
    This will effect the User's experience.
    ~~
    Work aound.....
    Find a way to label the Form Fields (page 5) so that "only they" are reset, and no others.
    Create a link of Form Field inputs on page 5 (with names... x,y,z),
    to new Form Fields pages 2-4 (with a differnet names... a,b,c).
    Thanks in advance for your help....

    Hi jm,
    This may be what you are after. No text wrap, but notes are there.
    Type an account number into the Enquire table to get Client and Contact
    Formula in B2 (and Fill Right)
    =INDEX(Database::B,MATCH($A2,Database::$A,0))
    Large notes display table with Wrap Text
    Formula is
    =INDEX(Database::D,MATCH(Enquire::$A2,Database::A,0))
    All together:
    Change it around if you want to look up by Client instead of Account

  • ORA-04062 error when running forms with different users

    ORA-04062 error when running forms with different users
    I have a form that has a block that should display some data from another users tables. (The other user's name is dynamic, it's selected from a list box)
    I wrote a stored procedure to get the data from other user's tables.
    When I compile the form and run it with the same user I compiled, it works without any error. But when I run the compiled form with another user I get the ORA-04062 (signature of procedure has been changed) error.
    I tried setting REMOTE_DEPENDENCIES_MODE to SIGNATURE in init.ora but it didn't help.
    My Forms version is 6i with Patch 15.
    Database version is 9.
    Here is my stored procedure:
    TYPE Scenario_Tab IS TABLE OF NUMBER(34) INDEX BY BINARY INTEGER;
    TYPE Open_Curs IS REF CURSOR;
    PROCEDURE Get_Scenarios(User_Name IN VARCHAR2, Scen_Table OUT Scenario_Tab) IS
    Curs Open_Curs;
    i NUMBER;
    BEGIN
    OPEN Curs FOR
    'SELECT Seq_No FROM '|| User_Name ||'.scenario';
    i := 1;
    LOOP
    FETCH Curs INTO Scen_Table(i);
    EXIT WHEN Curs%NOTFOUND;
    i := i + 1;
    END LOOP;
    END Get_Senarios;
    I would be happy to solve this problem. It's really important.
    Maybe somebody can tell me another way to do what I want to do. (getting a list of values from another users tables)

    I think it should be a better solution to create a package,
    and put your own TYPES and procedure into it.
    CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE PKG_XXX IS
    TYPE TYP_TAB_CHAR IS TABLE OF .... ;
    PROCEDURE P_XX ( Var1 IN VARCHAR2, var2 IN OUT TYP_TAB_CHAR );
    END ;
    Then in your Form :
    Declare
    var PKG_XXX.TYP_TAB_CHAR ;
    Begin
    PKG_XXX.P_XX( 'user_name', var ) ;
    End ;

  • Fragment de-linking from form

    I have a consistent problem with fragments within my forms de-linking from the document for no reason.  I open up an existing form and all that appears for each of my fragments is a purple box.  When I go down to the object palette, the link to where the fragment is still exist so Livecycle knows where the fragment is.
    The most recent case I had was that I edited on of my fragments.  Now, all the fragments that I have on my 200+ forms are delinked.  None of the fragments were moved to a different folder or anything.
    Does anyone know what would cause this and how I can fix it?  Relinking fragments on 200+ forms could take a few hours.

    Is the path to the fragment reachable when this happens? Where are the fragments stord in relation to the form?

  • How do I make a form field validate that it is the sum of two other fields?

    Hi there,
    I am creating a form, and I would like one of the fields to validate by making sure that this field is the sum of two other fields in the form.  Does anyone have any ideas on how to go about this?  I know I'll need to run a custom validation script, but I'm not sure where to begin - I've never done one for validation before.
    Thanks for any help!

    OK, here's a sample script that I hope will clearly demonstrate the general approach. It is intended to be the custom Validate script of the field that the user enters that value that is supposed to be equal to the sum of the two others.
    // Custom Validate script
    (function () {
        // Get the value that the user entered
        var sVal = event.value;
        // If it is blank, do nothing else
        if (!sVal) {
            return;
        // Convert string to a number
        nVal = +sVal;
        // Get the values of the fields, as numbers
        var v1 = +getField("text1").value;
        var v2 = +getField("text2").value;
        // Add them together, rounding to two decimal places, converting to number
        var sum = +util.printf("%.2f", v1 + v2);
        // Compare entered value to the sum of the other two fields
        // Alter the user if they do not match
        if (nVal !== sum) {
            app.alert("The value you entered does not equal the sum of text1 and text2. Please correct.", 3);
            // If you want the entered value rejected, include the following
            event.rc = false;
    Replace "text1" and "text2" with the actual field names.
