Dynamically creating a database block in forms 10g

hi guys ,
i got a new requirement ,that is dynamically create a database blocks and items...
how it is possible..?
thanks...

Hello,
It is not possible. You cannot create blocks or items at runtime. What you can do is to have them created but hidden, then you set them visible as soon as you need them.

Cannot connect to database using Oracle Forms 10g

hi,
I had installed Oracle 10g database and Oracle Forms 10g on Windows Vista Home Basic. However, I was unable to connect to
the database in Oracle Form using scott/scott for database "orcl", with the following error message:
ORA-00604: error occured at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-01009: missing mandatory parameter
However, I could access to the database using this set of username and password. Am I missing something? Thanks.

Hi,
After a successful installation of forms 10g in vista, I'm about to run OPatch Universal Installer for the patch 7047034
in order to fix the form bugs. However, I cannot run the command "opatch apply C:\oracle_form\Patch26_Rel_10105\7047034"
with the error "The Oracle Home c:\devsuitehome_1 is not registered with the Central Inventory.". Then I try to create a
oraInst.loc file, but not much change still. The situation is that oracle 10g is installed before oracle developer suite
10g, and when I try to set oracle_home to oracle 10g's path ("C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1") and run "opatch lsinventory",
it returns the correct result; when oracle developer suite 10g's path ("c:\devsuitehome_1") is set as the oracle_home,
the same command would return a different result as "LsInventory: OPatch Exception while accessing O2O".
I've verified through Oracle Universal Installer that the Central Inventory has included both as oracle_home (oracle 10g
and oracle developer suite 10g). I'm very confused now, though it seems that the problem could be solved by registering the
Central Inventory with oraacle developer suite 10g's path. Thanks.

CREATING KEY & DESCRIPTIVE FLEXFIELDS IN FORMS 10G

HELLO EVERYONE,
kINDLY HELP ME CREATING KEY & DESCRIPTIVE FLEXFIELDS IN FORMS 10G.STEP BY STEP PROCEDURE IN FORMS 10 G WILL HELP ME REALLY.
REGARDS,
Srini.

A FLEXFIELD IS A FIELD MADE UP OF SUB–FIELDS, OR SEGMENTS. THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF FLEXFIELDS: KEY FLEXFIELDS AND DESCRIPTIVE FLEXFIELDS.
KEY FLEXFIELDS:
I HAVE A COLUMN CALLED ADDRESS(SINGLE FIELD),WHEN I KEEP MY CURSOR ON THIS FIELD AND PRESS ENTER,IT POP'S UP A WINDOW WITH ALL NECESSARY FIELDS CORRESPONDING TO ADDRESS LIKE,DOOR-NO.,STREET NAME,CITY ETC.... WITH AN OK & CANCEL BUTTON.
ONCE I GIVE THE VALUES ACCORDINGLY IN THE ADDRESS FIELD AND CLICK OK BUTTON IT STORES ALL THE VALUES IN WINDOW TO THE ADDRESS FIELD.
DESCRIPTIVE FLEXFIELDS:
DESCRIPTIVE FLEXFIELDS LETS YOU ADD ADDITIONAL FIELDS TO THE FORM IN ORDER TO TRACK ADDITIONAL INFORMATION NEEDED BY THE BUSINESS, THAT WOULD NOT BE CAPTURED BY THE STANDARD FORM. DESCRIPTIVE FLEXFIELDS CAN BE CONTEXT SENSITIVE, WHERE THE INFORMATION YOUR APPLICATION STORES DEPENDS ON OTHER VALUES YOUR USERS ENTER IN OTHER PARTS OF THE FORM.
A DESCRIPTIVE FLEXFIELD APPEARS ON A FORM AS A SINGLE–CHARACTER, UNNAMED FIELD ENCLOSED IN SQUARE BRACKETS [ ]. EACH FIELD OR SEGMENT IN A DESCRIPTIVE FLEXFIELD HAS A PROMPT AND CAN HAVE A SET OF VALID VALUES
THIS CONCEPT IS USED FREQUENTLY IN ORACLE APPLICATIONS, WHICH I WANT TO IMPLEMENT IN FORMS 10G.I BELIEVE WITH YOUR EXPERTISE I WILL BE ABLE TO AHIEVE IT.

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.

Create pop-up windows in forms 10g

I have an application in which several formal controls are made before insert/update a record. Some of them are blocking, some others arent.
Actually, at every constraint violation, a message is displayed with an alert. So, the user may got one or more alerts before he succeed in inserting/updating a record. And it may be annoying to click on 'OK' a lot of times!
So, I wish to collect all error message and display them in a window, which is to be displayed in a pop-up way (something like the alerts that appear at the bottom-right corner of our screen when we have new mail).
The issue is that the pop-up window must not disturb the user, i.e it should be displayed and iconized after few seconds, leaving the focus on the main window.
I tried several solutions, but each of them have some issues.
External HTML page: maybe its the easiest solution. But bluring it, the focus doesnt return to the form application.
New window: I can run and iconize it. But, as in the previous case, the main window lost the focus.
New canvas: I put a text item LOG_ERRORS in a new canvas, in the same main window. But when I run it, the main canvas disappear.
does anyone know how to create popup windows in forms 10g (if it is possible)?
thank you

You can use a new window and set "Window Style" to "Dialog" then you can show the window without the main-window loosing the focus

Question about using database links in Forms 10g

I have a form that uses a database link for the "Query Data Source Name," i.e. it is set to some_view@some_db_link
For some reason when I run a query using the DB link the query takes approximately 30 seconds. When I remove the link and go local the query takes about one second. Has anybody observed and addressed this issue before (without going local of course)?
Thanks,
Thomas

Let me first say that it is never a good idea to use a db link in the data source. It is better to create a synonym in the database and use this as the data source. If the db link changes, you only have to do this in the database, without recompiling forms.
create synonym some_view for some_view@some_db_link
This may already solve your problem. If not, than see if the query is also slow in sqlplus. You may have a problem in your connection between the two databases.

Can show_window call to create a detached window in FORMS 10g?

Now, I am migrating forms6i to form10g. In Form6i, show_window can create a new window not in the area of the current window. However, in forms10g, I can only create a window in the area of current window, and can not move it out current window.

Is it possible to use Oracle Forms 10g with Oracle 10g Lite Database?

Hi All,
We are in process of migrating our forms from 6i to 10g environment.
We have two kinds of applications, one set run on general Oracle 11g database and the other set of forms run at the client machine using Oracle lite database.
We dont have any problem with Forms 6i to connect to Lite database as it allows to connect through ODBC:DSN names. When we try to connect to a lite database (10gR3) from Forms 10g through ODBC/DSN, it's not allowing and throwing the below error.
ORA-03121 : no interface driver connected - function not performed
Can someone tell me if there is something wrong in our approach? Also advise how to use Oracle Lite database with Forms 10G.
Sincerely,
Praveen Manthena

Hi,
I have experience with 6i with lite database 10g. There are two version of lite database one is multi language support and other one in english. There lang problem in connectivity with multi language 10g lite database. I done connectivity with single language connectivity of 6i with 10g lite database. You should try this one with forms 10g.

Retrive Multiple Records Into A database Block

hi, all
i would like to know if there is any document or references wich illustrait the way of retriving Multi records from a procedure built on database side into a database block using form 6i ??
My Problem is : i create a procedure in the database which retrive a multiple records and the variable from procedure (out) are the same value from Form side (in). but it always fetch the whole records at the same record position in the block as the cursor raised on . i found a way explian how to mintain a set or record using a record type and create a table of that record type , but still don't' know how deal calling the procedure from the form side .
Any advice of this issue will be greatfull and if sample of code provided will be better
Thanks in Advance
Regards
Omar

You can try something like this:
PROCEDURE POPULATE_BLOCK IS
cursor c1 is
SELECT <your column names>
FROM <your table name>
where <your where condition>
BEGIN
open c1;
go_block('<your block name');
first_record;
loop
fetch c1 into
:<your block name>.<your column name 1>,
:<your block name>.<your column name 2>,
etc,etc
exit when c1%NOTFOUND;
next_record;
end loop;
close c1;
first_record;
END;
so your code might actually look something like this:
PROCEDURE POPULATE_BLOCK IS
cursor c1 is
SELECT distinct
     a.pog_dept
     ,a.pog_number
     ,a.pog_level
     ,a.pog_id
,a.start_date
     ,a.transmit_date
,a.deactivate_date
     ,b.pog_description
FROM pog_stores_msi a, pog_master_msi b
where a.pog_dept = :b_main.bi_dept
and a.pog_number = :b_main.bi_pog_number
and a.pog_level = :b_main.bi_pog_level
AND A.POG_ID = :B_MAIN.I_POG_ID
and a.pog_dept = b.pog_dept
and a.pog_number = b.pog_number
and a.pog_id = b.pog_id;
BEGIN
open c1;
go_block('b_main');
first_record;
loop
fetch c1 into
:b_main.bi_dept
,:b_main.bi_pog_number
,:b_main.bi_pog_level
,:b_main.i_pog_id
,:b_main.i_start_date
,:b_main.i_transmit_date
,:b_main.i_deactivate_date
,:b_main.i_pog_desc;
exit when c1%NOTFOUND;
next_record;
end loop;
close c1;
END;
Hope this helps,

Tell me the System Specification.... Database version.... Which Application Server is suitable.... And whether the Oracle 9i database possible for Forms 10g or not.
Pls Give me solution.
Thanks.
