Debugging Forms on IE 5.0

Hi,
I've been developing Forms 6 applications e deploying them on the Web using JInititator. Now I'm trying to deploying the same applications using IE 5 JVM. I followed all steps described in the document entitled "Client Platform Support for Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 -- Release 6" available on OTN. However when I call the URL that points to the base HTML file the forms doesn't show up. The document above states that this can be caused by a problem in the Java applet. But the only message I can get at the Java Console is "debug value=false". I guess that there must be a variable that I have to set to turn debug mode on so I can see applet messages. But I don't know how to proceed. Can anyone help me?
My current configuration is:
Windows NT 4 SP 5
Forms 6.0.5.33.0
OAS 4.0.8.1
JInitiator 1.1.7.11
I thank you in advance.

try to call your form this way : http://yourdomain.com/dev60cgi/ifcgi60.exe?config=ie50native
followed by the rest of your parameters

Debug form builder

Using Forms 6.0.8.28.0 on WinXP to develop custom forms. Compiling process gives error on all database objects or just hangs on some larger forms which before compiled without any problems. All database objects are valid. SQL Network connection is unchanged (Compiler works with forms 9i builder).

how can we debug form builderDo you have FMX file with FMB file in Folder. Or Try to rename Form and recompile it.

Hi, how to debug forms of script

hi
could anybody tell me how to debug script forms.
i am using /h in se71, but it is not going inside form.
pl guide me fast.
thanx
robo

Hi Rocky,
Go through the following two ways
SAP Script:
YOu Can debug a SAP Script by activating debugger in two ways 1.In SE71->Menu->Utilities->Activate Debugger, then debugger will be get activated and when your print program is executing Script Debugger will be in active and you can proceed with your debugging.
2. Goto se38-> RSTXDBUG ->Execute this same as going thru in se71-> Menu, now debugger will be activated.
Smartform:I am afraid , we dont have any direct commands or direct procedure to debug a script. But in indirect ways we can do it.
1.Put a command line before where you want check the value of smartform and write the code "BREAK-POINT"->hardcoded debugging.
2.You can debug the function module which generates the smartform.

Error while debuging form

Dear All,
I tried to debug some forms 10g that has been created in 6i,but i got the following error message while debuging...
FRM-30454: Unsupported item type.
Item: OLE_CONTROL51
Block: B2
Form: STRMAIN
FRM-30085: Unable to adjust form for output.
Please provide me with some solution...
Thanks and regards
Monoj

Hi
apparently u r using but this item type is considered is considered obsolete item no longer supported in forms 10.
You would need to use CLIENT_OLE in the webutil package to launch e.g. Word and etc.
It is documented in oracle regarding Migrating Client-Server Applications to the Web
Instead, use JavaBeans to duplicate functionality in the user interface. Any other Microsoft Windows user interface dependencies should also be replaced with JavaBeans. You can also use WebUtil to restore some of these functions.
Hope this helps...

Debug form with message control

Hello,
I' need debug a form (SE71) when a message is printed. For example, type message ZFRG, transaction ME42, i save the new message but not activing debug (before, i go to se71 and 'utilities' -> Activer Debug)
How can i do?,
thanks very much

Try to activate UPDATE DEBUGGING while saving through ME42.

How to debug form.js ?

I have this file (form.js) with some javascript functions invoked from mine UIX pages.
1) If I create a custom.js file, how can I make it available form my pages?
2) How can I step-by-step debug this file? Breakpoints are ignored there.
Thanks

Idevaldo,
When placing too many alerts in javascript, you might get annoyed with the number of times you have to click 'ok' to close a debug message. In form.js, we have the following code for writing debug messages:
var myDebugMode = true; /* default is false */
function myDebug(text)
if (debugMode)
debugMode = confirm(text);
Then, instead of doing: alert("helloWorld") we use: debug("helloWorld"). The advantage is that you get both an OK and a Cancel button for each debug message. OK will take you to the next debug message, but the CANCEL button will turn debugMode off for the remainder of the request. So if you have seen what you needed to see you wont have to click through another 100+ messages.
You can invoke this debug message from your own JS library as well. If this creates an unwanted dependency, you can implement this behaviour in your own JS file, but make sure you rename both the variable and the method name to avoid conflicts with our code.
Kind Regards,

Debugging - Forms Crash

Hi All,
Our application is crashes frequently, I have run the application with DEBUG_MESSAGES = YES. However, while crashing, it did not fire any triggers and therefore the problem presists.
Is there any way to Debug the Crashing?

Things that we have done in similar situations:
-XP and P4 problem - JAR files
-Patch maintenance (we are on 13 6i c/s)
-Try using CTRL-ALT-K to compile in 6i Forms/Reports
If I think of anything else ill get back to you:
Is there any dump file ? Normally resides in runtime directory.

Debugging Forms 6

I have an Oracle Developer 6 form that cannot be debugged. This
form has a 'WHEN-NEW-INSTANCE' trigger that performs a database-
stored function which accesses a table on the database to get
the value of the current environment in which it is executing
(not a complex function). When stepping through the code with
debug, the form will 'hang' when the code to perform the
function is executed.
The form is executed from within the Forms Builder by pressing
the little 'bug' icon.
Any clues as to what I am doing wrong?
Thanks in anticipation.

I just use the Message command and not the debugger. It is all I have ever needed.
<p>Only I got pretty involved, and created a form to use. You can get the fmb here:
<p> Zdebug -- A Forms debugging message tool

Debugging Forms

My form runs OK, but fails to POST, so I want to debug the post routine. When I run the form in Debug, it fails in the PRE-FORM trigger trying to access a procedure in an attached libary with ORA-06508, but this is OK when I run normally. How do I get this work in debug?

Greetings all,
The same things happens to me on forms 6, even though I converted and regenerated all the attached libraries from 5.4. Any suggestions?

Debugging forms servlet

Hi
Can someone tell me how to turn on debugging on the middleware for forms 10g?
In 9i, you added &serverURL=/forms90/l90servlet/debug to the end of the url.

Added &serverURL=/forms/lservlet/debug and this to works.

How can I sort the target list in debug form.

If I want to select a procedure/function to debug it is very hard to find it if the package contains a lot of procedures. How can I sort the target list. I did not find anything in the preferences. Thanks.

Sorry, can't be done. You can request this at the SQL Developer Exchange though, so other users can vote and add weight for possible future implementation.
My suggestion (if you decide to request it): base the order in the dialog on the order inside the navigator tree (location in the source by default, but possible by name or type/name - see tree's context menu).
Regards,
K.

How to debug a form module (Oracle 11G Forms) through URL

How to debug a form module (Oracle 11G Forms) through URL.
My server OS is Unix. So i could not able to do the Debug Forms from the Form Developer.
It is displaying a message that "Cannot find the module". Becuase the system is trying find out the module in Unix system instead of ma local system(Windows).
I need to debug ma module through URL.
I can place the fmb and fmx in predefined form path in Server.
Please help me out to solve this issue..

This is a little unclear. If your goal is to use the Forms Builder Debugger while running your form on a Unix machine, this can be done. However, the form must first be in running order. So before trying to attach the debugger you must first be able to start it without the debugger. For example:
http://yourServer:OHS_port_number/forms/frmservlet?form=yourFMX
Once this is properly running you can turn on debugging. If your form won't even start, then using the Debugger isn't going to help you because it is designed to troubleshoot coding problems and not configuration problems.
So, do this to use the Debugger:
http://yourServer:OHS_port_number/forms/frmservlet?form=yourFMX&debug=yes
This will display a dialog box with some information. Do not click on OK yet as you will need this information to enter into the Forms Builder. Now, open the Forms Builder and click on Debug > Attach Debug. You will be asked for the information displayed in the dialog where you attempted to start the form. Enter it here (in the Builder) then click on ok in both places. To display the Debugger (in the Builder), click on Debug > Debug Console. Then from its toolbar click on the buttons related to what you want to monitor. Including a break point in your application code is often a more helpful way to use the debugger.
Most of this information is explained in the Forms Builder Online Help
Forgot to mention...
To debug runtime issues, refer to the Forms Deployment Guide here (this assumes you are using 11.1.2):

**Debugging Oracle forms***

Hi,
I am beginner to forms.
Yesterday i was asked a question in an interview - "How do u debug forms??"
when i visited forms help, it is not undestandable.
what is meant by debugging?...how can we do that?
Please tell me.

what is meant by debugging?...
Debugging Simply, it's the eye of the developper in which he/she sees ..how the code is executing..!
how can we do that?1- First,it depends on the version of forms u r using e.g. Forms 6i Debugging is different from Forms 10G. x
2. How, it's simply through entering values in a testing enviroment like a run-time form but we trace the code as by stepping into it line by line.
3. Starting by Selecting the Debug button in Forms 6i
3.a. A debugging window will be displayed.
3.b. Selecting the Trigger or procedure u want to debug.
3.c. Double click on the line of code u want to Star debuging
and similarly other interested code lines or functions or if statment
inside the piece of code u selected.
4.There is a Large Red X in the toolbar of the Debug Window u press it.
5.Then ur form will be displayed in Debug mode.
7.Enter ur Values ..pressing enter..u will be back automatically to ur code in design ; in the debugging window.
8.Select Step into or Step over Buttons from the Tool bar.
9.U have a node called stacked there ur entered value in run time will be displayed.
9.a.if u have loop or whatever..u will see how ur variables r changing ,etc.
10 .Repeat it as many as needed.
Enjoy it..! ))
Best Regards,
Abdetu..

Help required debugging a 9.0.4 form using WebUtil(1.0.6)

Hi
I have installed and configured WebUtil(106) on the application server and client side. I took a working form and changed the TEXT_IO calls to CLIENT_TEXT_IO and also attached the WebUtil.olb and WebUtil.pll libraries. The form compiles ok but when I run it from within developer I see the message applet started but the form never appears and no errors are reported.
Can anyone help me out with this? The difficulty is not getting any errors reported to help with the fault finding.

I've put the webutil settings under the [default] named configuration. Here are all the settings from the client formsweb.cfg.
Theses settings for baseHTMLjinitiator, baseHTMLjpi and baseHTML are declared twice but I assumed that the webutil settings would override the previous ones.
# $Id: formsweb.cfg,v 1.24 2003/08/22 01:07:35 pkuhn Exp $
# formsweb.cfg defines parameter values used by the FormsServlet (f90servlet)
# This section defines the Default settings. Any of them may be overridden in the
# following Named Configuration sections. If they are not overridden, then the
# values here will be used.
# The default settings comprise two types of parameters: System parameters,
# which cannot be overridden in the URL, and User Parameters, which can.
# Parameters which are not marked as System parameters are User parameters.
# SYSTEM PARAMETERS
# These have fixed names and give information required by the Forms
# Servlet in order to function. They cannot be specified in the URL query
# string. But they can be overriden in a named configuration (see below).
# Some parameters specify file names: if the full path is not given,
# they are assumed to be in the same directory as this file. If a path
# is given, then it should be a physical path, not a URL.
# USER PARAMETERS
# These match variables (e.g. %form%) in the baseHTML file. Their values
# may be overridden by specifying them in the URL query string
# (e.g. "http://myhost.mydomain.com/servlet/f90servlet?form=myform&width=700")
