Date funkcion in AS oracle forms

Hi all
I'm DBA and I had question from our developers about AS and forms.
We wont to have applications server in one server (SRV1)and db in another server(DB2) , can You help me witch date function in forms depend on system time of SRV1 and which of SRV2 ?
Me by stupid question but I'm not forms developer , but I need to know general inpact of deploy AS and db .
Thank You Brano

It comes from the database if you do a "select sysdate from dual" as your google snippet said so it comes from the machine where the database is installed, wherever that is. If you just assign it to a variable in Forms it comes from the AS machine where Forms is installed.

Sending data to EXCEL from Oracle Forms 6.0 URGENT!!!!!

Dear all,
I have a problem to which I hope to get a solution from anyone
out there...
The problem is as follows:
I have a form that contains some data. Now this data I need to
transfer to an excell sheet. I tried to do so through report
builder (6.0) but every time I try to convert my report I get a
general protection fault. So instead I'm sending the data to a
text file through text_io built in then reopening the text file
from excel. Isn't there a better way to do it? ie sending the
data stright from forms to excel?
Thanks in advance

WORD:
Microsoft made some changes in the upgraded version of Word
which cause it
to
come up as a hidden application. Customer had to add "AppShow"
to his code,
and ole automation works fine now.
EXCEL:
The issue here is that Microsoft changed the object "Workbooks",
which is
now
a property of object "Excel.Application". So, replace the call:
workbooks := ole2.invoke_obj(application, 'workbooks');
with
workbooks := ole2.get_obj_property(application, 'workbooks');
For example:
PACKAGE BODY olewrap IS
-- Declare the OLE objects
application OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
workbooks OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
workbook OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
worksheets OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
worksheet OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
cell OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
args OLE2.LIST_TYPE;
procedure init is
begin
-- Start Excel and make it visible
application := OLE2.CREATE_OBJ('Excel.Application');
ole2.set_property(application,'Visible', 'True');
workbooks := OLE2.GET_OBJ_PROPERTY(application, 'Workbooks');
args:=OLE2.CREATE_ARGLIST;
OLE2.ADD_ARG(args, 'c:\test\ms\excel\test.xls');
workbook := OLE2.GET_OBJ_PROPERTY(workbooks, 'Open', args);
OLE2.DESTROY_ARGLIST(args);
worksheets := OLE2.GET_OBJ_PROPERTY(workbook, 'Worksheets');
worksheet := OLE2.GET_OBJ_PROPERTY(worksheets,'Add');
-- Return object handle to cell A1 on the new Worksheet
args:=OLE2.CREATE_ARGLIST;
OLE2.ADD_ARG(args, 1);
OLE2.ADD_ARG(args, 1);
cell:=OLE2.GET_OBJ_PROPERTY(worksheet, 'Cells', args);
OLE2.DESTROY_ARGLIST(args);
-- Set the contents of the cell to 'Hello Excel!'
OLE2.SET_PROPERTY(cell, 'Value', 'Hello Excel!');
END;
procedure addstuff is
BEGIN
-- Return object handle to cell A1 on the new Worksheet
args := OLE2.CREATE_ARGLIST;
OLE2.ADD_ARG(args, 2);
OLE2.ADD_ARG(args, 2);
cell:=OLE2.INVOKE_OBJ(worksheet, 'Cells', args);
OLE2.DESTROY_ARGLIST(args);
-- Set the contents of the cell to 'This is the added stuff'
OLE2.SET_PROPERTY(cell, 'Value', 'This is the added stuff');

procedure stop is

args:=OLE2.CREATE_ARGLIST;
OLE2.ADD_ARG(args, 'C:\OLETEST2.XLS');
OLE2.INVOKE(worksheet, 'SaveAs', args);

OLE2.RELEASE_OBJ(worksheets);

If you have an "urgent" issue, I highly encourage you to contact Oracle Support. The forum probably isn't going to be your best source for "urgent" issues.

This will be especially important if you are new to any of the products as you will likely need documentation and/or product updates in order to ensure the most stable environment possible.
There are a few publicly available documents which may help to get you started. In any case, these are just examples. They may or may not work to your liking. Further, in some cases they may not work at all. Many of the examples online are often outdated and do not function exactly as documented against other versions. Here is one:

Forms clause query data source data block in oracle forms

Hello experts,
I am new in oracle forms.I am using oracle forms 11g with weblogic 10.3.5 at windows 7.Through googaling I know how to create a database block,forms clause data block and stored procedure based datablock in oracle forms.I want to know that as in case of Database based datablock, could we commit form either on editing records or on insertion or deletion in data block.
I tried this but got error frm 40501.If we can perform editing and creation in such type of datablock then please tell me how.
Thank You,

When I base my datablock on a query using the "From Clause" property of the block query data source in the oracle Forms 6i,
I get the strange error
"ORA-00928: missing SELECT keyword"

SELECT DAY_NUMBER,CONSULTANT_ID,EVENT_ID,EVENT_NUMBER,SESSION_NUMBER,HOURS_UNPAID,HOURS_PAID,PAPERWORK FROM (EVENT_ASSIGNED_CONSULTANT) WHERE (CONSULTANT_ID=:1)
What should I do now?????? Please remove the brackets () from the table name.
Instead of (EVENT_ASSIGNED_CONSULTANT) use
EVENT_ASSIGNED_CONSULTANT

I have searched a lot but not getting exact solution
Is there anyone who will help me out with this .....
Any help will be appriciated

I'm trying to move data from excel into an Oracle forms field. This involves coping 2 columns of data cells in excel and pasting it into an Oracle forms field. I can get the date pasted into the Oracle forms field but there is a invisible character that separates the 2 columns of data coming from Excel. I do not know what this character is but it is causing the error 'Line 1 is invalid. Check forms'.
Any ideas how to get pass this?

Need profile option for determining DateTime format in Oracle Forms

Hello All,
I also have requirement where I need to read the date format in which Oracle Forms displays date values.
As per updates to [this thread|https://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=10285119] , I just need to read the profile option "ICX: Date format mask" ("ICX_DATE_FORMAT_MASK"), and reformat the date value to my required target format.
This is good for the date type of fields. But what about the profile option that determines "datetime" formats in Oracle Forms ?
Appreciate any help.
Thanks

Passing a value for date parameter from Oracle Forms to BIP

Hi
I have created a report with the following SQL query:
select
d_tables.d_seq,
to_date(d_tables.d_created) creation_date,
d_tables.d_created_by created_by,
d_tables.d_pk,
d_tables.table_name,
d_tables.comments
from
d_tables, d_applications
where
d_tables.d_ppk = d_applications.d_pk
and to_date(d_tables.d_created) >= nvl(:P_CRE_DATE_FROM, to_date(d_tables.d_created))
and to_date(d_tables.d_created) <= nvl(:P_CRE_DATE_TO, to_date(d_tables.d_created))
The parameters P_CRE_DATE_FROM and P_CRE_DATE_TO have been set up as date in BI Publisher with format dd-MMM-yyyy
The report works fine when launched in BI Publisher.
I want to call this report from Oracle Forms and I'm trying to pass the values for both the parameters. However, the report does not generate output based on values passed.
Does it have to do with datatype? Does anyone know a solution for this?
Kind regards,
Aparna

Thanks for your suggestion. I am already referring to the whitepaper and have integrated Forms with BI Publisher. The parameter passing is working fine for a varchar2 type of parameter. However, for a date type, there seems to be some problem.

Oracle Forms New Features - Your input. Supporting data types

I am interested to know IF we were to support any new database types in Oracle Forms 11g, which types would you like supported and why. I'd also like to know if you are currently working around the absence of a database type.
Please note, this is not any kind of commitment to support new data types in Oracle Forms applications but we are interested to know if there is demand and if so, for what types.
Thanks
Grant Ronald
Oracle Forms Product Management
p.s lets keep the thread focused on the topic so please don't post technical questions or comments about different new features - if you want to, start a new thread - thanks

Hi Grant,
support for the "new" - well they exists since 9iR1 ... 2001 - data types TIMESTAMP, TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE, TIMESTAMP WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE, INTERVAL YEAR TO MONTH and INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND would be very helpful.
Currently it's not possible to use the Data Block Wizard to create a data block for table/view that contains one of these columns.
(In Forms Builder 10.1.2.3 it fails with a strange error message ... iewbdbc_oracle_to_id ... C:\forms\101220\src\ie\iewbdb.c:724 ...)
So, one has to create the data block and the items manually. The items have to be CHARS.
Then forms is able to fetch and display these columns. The user can edit them as normal.
A WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM trigger can be used to make sure that the implicit conversion from CHAR to the "new" datatype works.
For example, an INTERVAL YEAR TO MONTH column (b):
declare
l_invalid_interval exception;
pragma exception_init(l_invalid_interval, -1867);
l_invalid_month exception;
pragma exception_init(l_invalid_month, -1843);
l_dummy interval year(9) to month;
begin
l_dummy := to_yminterval(:block2.b);
exception
when l_invalid_interval
then
    message('invalid interval');
    raise form_trigger_failure;
when l_invalid_month
then
    message('invalid month');
    raise form_trigger_failure;
when others
then
    message(error_text);
    raise form_trigger_failure;
end;This nasty trick works for most of the "new" datatypes except with TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE.
In Forms 10.1.2.3 the following WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM trigger can (incorrectly!) fail:
declare
l_dummy timestamp with time zone;
begin
l_dummy := to_timestamp_tz(:block2.a);
end;It fails with "ORA-01804: failure to initialize timezone information", if the time zone is not like "-11:00", but like "EUROPE/PARIS". Don't know why...
If we recode our trigger to make a round-trip to the database, it works:
declare
l_dummy timestamp with time zone;
begin
select to_timestamp_tz(:block2.a)
into   l_dummy
from dual;
end;We could avoid these tricks, if Forms (and Reports) would support these type natively.
Thanks, Michael
PS: The TIMESTAMP and INTERVAL data types should of course be supported as items, parameters, globals and record groups columns.

Updating record in a data block based on view in oracle forms

hi all ,
We have two data blocks in our custom oracle form.The first data block is for search criteria provided with buttons 'GO' and 'ADD ROW' and the second data block is based on a view that fetches record when user clicks on GO based on the the criteria specified in the above block. The Below block contains one SAVE button too.
We have a requirement when GO button is pressed and corresponding records are shown in the below block, user should be able to edit the record. Want to know how to make it editable?
Help appreciated....!!!

Your view is based on how many tables and does it include all NOT NULL fields from all tables?
