Error Generating Form against external application database

I'm hoping the answer to this is simple, as others in the office can do this without any trouble, but can't remember how they made it work...
My client has their repository and application schemas in separate databases. When I try and generate a form from the Design Editor, I get the following error:
CDG-01281 ERROR: Module OASF95110: Oracle Forms binary file for MAINTAIN TARIFF AGREEMENT has NOT been created
CDG-03418 WARNING: Module Component OASF95110.TARIFF_AGREEMENT: Missing action item to navigate to 'TARIFF_AGREEMENT_PARTNER'
CDG-03400 WARNING: Module Component Table Usage OASF95110.TARIFF_AGREEMENT.TARIFF_AGREEMENT.TARIFF_AGREEMENT: 'Closed loop' of mandatory foreign keys found
CDG-01263 ERROR: Module Component Table Usage OASF95110.TARIFF_AGREEMENT.TARIFF_AGREEMENT.TARIFF_AGREEMENT: User-defined condition (Table level Check Constraint TARIFF_AGREEMENT.TRFA_CK1) has an error: PL/SQL: ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
What I seem to be missing, and have not been able to locate in any documentation, is how to tell Designer to look in a different database for the (already generated) schema objects.
In a copy of the repository where I have generated the necessary objects into the same database as the repository, the form generates flawlessly...

Tried that... Turns out the system uses the "Compiler" tab for validation, not for "Form Options" tab - It took a while, but one of the other developers finally remembered what they did and actually compared the screen prints I was providing with what they had in their environment...
Thanks :)

Error generating release against scheduling agreement

Need help in resolving the below error msg for Scheduling Agreement.
ERROR message:
"Error generating release against scheduling agreement (cause 2)"
"2: The forecast delivery schedule or the JIT delivery schedule was generated but no message record could be generated."

Yes.. its solved now...
problem areas:
1: delivery date not matching GR date.
solution: chng delvry date to GR date in ME38 and thn do GR.
2: Release not hapnd properly incase if u hav used doc typ LPA for JIT/Forcasting.
solution: in ME84, chk if the indicator for 'create release' is 'green' for ur SA#. In ME38, select the line and click on 'Release" icon. Select ur relevant delivery schudle line and click on JIT release or Forcast Release icon. See if the indicator is 'Green". If not, the issue is wit message output for the perticular delivry date. (use msg typ LPET process for output) MAKE SURE U SAVE THIS CHNG. Chk againg for the Release indicator for delivry line. If green thn.. its done..

Error generating release against scheduling agreement (cause 6) in ME38

Hello Experts,
Need your inputs on the the below error getting generated in ME38
Error generating release against scheduling agreement (cause 6)
Message no. 06857
Diagnosis
The function module for generating a scheduling agreement release (forecast delivery schedule or JIT delivery schedule) has run up against an error, causing processing to be terminated.
In this case the cause of the error is 6.
System Response
The error may involve one of the following situations:
1: The nature of the error cannot be specified precisely.
2: The forecast delivery schedule or the JIT delivery schedule was generated but no message record could be generated.
3: A document type for which the functions "Generate forecast delivery schedule" or "Generate JIT delivery schedule" are not defined may be involved.
4: A material for which the function "Generate JIT delivery schedule" is not defined may be involved.
5: A scheduling agreement that has not yet been released by all persons responsible may be involved.
6: The factory calendar has not been maintained correctly.
Procedure
Error source 1:
Check whether the vendor and plant shown in the PO actually exist in the system.
Error source 2:
Check the Customizing facility for message determination with respect to delivery schedules created under scheduling agreements (print operation '9').
Error source 3:
In Customizing, maintain the document types accordingly ( Define document types for scheduling agreement). Then create a new scheduling agreement with a document type for which release documentation is defined.
Error source 4:
Maintain the JIT delivery schedule indicator in the material master record.
Error source 5:
Have the scheduling agreement released by the person(s) responsible.
Error source 6:
If you are using a release creation profile without aggregation, you must maintain the factory calendar for the next 999 days
Regards,
Santosh

Hello Mallinath,
I referred the note and following are the observarion in the system.
Step1:Run T-code SE16 (table T001W) to check the calendar ID of the plant.
-----Referred the Calendor ID
Step2: Check the JIT/Forecast delivery schedule of release creation profile in customizing. (T-code OLME -> Scheduling Agreement -> Maint. Rel. Creation Profile for Sched. Agmt. w. Rel. Docu.)
Run T-code SCAL to adjust the period of the calendar ID which checked in STEP 1 according to the JIT/Forecast delivery schedule of the release creation profile which checked in STEP 2.
(For example, if the JIT/Forecast delivery schedule of the release creation profile is "999" days, then the calendar should be extended for the next 999 days at least)
---------In this case factory calendor is valid till 2015 and according to note needs to change the factory calendor till 2018( or for 999 days) ?
Waiting for your inputs.
Thanking you,
Santosh

Error generating release against Scheduling agreement (Cause 2)

dear Sap Experts,
Please advise me that Error generating release against Scheduling agreement (Cause 2)
As i have already used transaction code OMQP and click print operation 9 for LPH1 & LPJI A,
How can i sort this problem.
Thanks
mohit

Hi,
pls find below thread
SA delivery schedule release problem
you have to Maintain condition records for LPJ1 and LPF1 in NACE
maintain condition record in transaction MN10 for schedule release. And Generally in the condition records will be maintained for LPH1 & LPJ1in MN10.
Once you maintain that, you can go to ME84 and ME38 release the schedule
the JIT indicator in MMR for your material.
Check that and also you can maintain a release creation profile in VMR or ME31L.
Regards
Raj.

Hi,
For EDI you might be missing settings in:
1) Matrl Mng -> Purchasing -> Messages -> Output control -> Output types -> Define Message Types for Scheduling Agreement Release/Expediter -> Fine-Tuned Control: Forecast Delivery Schedule/Expediter (check one of the outputs for 9 and for A )
2) WE20 - EDI settings for partner that is a vendor who should receive your release information DELFOR / DELJIT (if you do not manage other EDI settings then also other WEDI setings should be maintained)

Error while accessing an external application...

Hi,
I am trying to configure a portal application by using SSO to get access to a deployed J2ee application. I have created the iView and mapped the user to the J2EE application. The Iview is working fine and i got the main page of the application.
But i have found a problem here.
I am using a javascript menu to invoke different pages in the j2ee application from the main page. When i invoke a menu item, I am getting a javascript error as "Access Denied" and the action gets cancelled...
Can you please share your knowledge on the possiblities of this error?
Is it because the application is working under porta frame work scope? If so how can i change it?
Best regards,
Sudheesh

Sounds like an issue that has to do with JavaScript Origin policy. You'll have to use Domain Relaxing for this. Read all about it here:

Forms 6i Against 9i UTF8 database with NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS = CHAR

Hi all,
I have a 9.2.0.4 database which was created with a character set of UTF8.
I want to start storing multibyte characters in this database so I changed the init.ora parameter NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS to CHAR and restarted.
I then installed my application into the database and all the definitions have correctly been created using CHAR length semantics.
The client to this application is Forms 6i but I am having serious problems compiling it against the application schema.
When I open a pll library and try to compile I get Error 201 for every %type variable declaration and also for server based packages.
I am definitely connected and to the correct schema where the objects all exist.
I have another application schema - identical except that it was created before I made the change to NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS so it uses BYTE. When I compile the same library connected to this schema there are no problems.
Also, if I try to connect to the CHAR schema using Forms (i.e. 8.0.6) SQL*Plus it crashes with a Windows Application Error. If I connect with a 9.2.0.1 SQL*Plus its fine.
My question is should it be possible to compile a 6i Form against a UTF8 database with CHAR NLS length semantics at all? Have I done something wrong or am I barking up the wrong tree? Has anyone else tried this?
Many thanks in advance,
Kevin.

Hi,
Thanks for the responses but I don't think you're quite right. Forms 6i should indeed work with Unicode as a database character set as long as it is UTF8 rather than AL32UTF8. This can be seen in various Metalink documents and also in the Release 6i Guidelines for Building Applications here (section 4.1.5):
http://download-west.oracle.com/otn_hosted_doc/forms/forms/A73073_01.pdf
The problems started when I changed NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS to CHAR. Its understandable if Forms 6i does not recognise this setting as it pre-dates it but I wanted to confirm this.
We want to migrate our existing application to work with multibyte characters. Unfortunately there are table columns, PL/SQL variables etc. that are too small when defined as a length in bytes.
I am looking for the least impact method to rectify this. On the server I can use NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS but if I can't get Forms to work with it then I may need to rethink.
I realise that using Forms 9i or 10g would support the parameter but it is not possible to upgrade at the moment.
Has anyone any other suggestions or methods for migrating an application to using multibyte characters?
Thanks again,
Kevin.

How to find trace file error in form

hai all,
i have big problem in my form in apps i open the form one error is ocuured,
i got the trace file and check the error,
PARSE ERROR #82:len=2903 dep=0 uid=173 oct=3 lid=173 tim=4265689973879 err=904 this is the trace file error meassage,
how to find this error in form and also this is occured one select statement,how to find this select statement where can be used in form,
i have one button ,when ever i press the button this error is ocuured,i check this button pl/sql procedure code but in this code not using that sql statement,
if any one know to find the sql statement through trace file.
plz give the replay as soon as possible.
thank's

The newest SQL Developer can converts the trace to readable format too, I'm not shure if you see the sql statement related to the error then.
It seems you get ORA-00904 which says you use an invalid coumn in a dml statement.
Normally such error should pop up in message - do you overwrite the message handling or use exception handling in you form which block this message?
Easiest way to find this is to compile the form against the target database.
If this does not give an error, you should check, if you use dynamic sql statements which are wrong.
If you call database routines from your form, than this could be the errro cause too.

Can't customise External Application (WWC 41610)

left instead of on the right?
thanks.

Thanks. No error if I clear the proxy server.
However, I wonder what's wrong with the setting of the proxy
server.
The setting is as below:

Uploading another person's spreadsheet generates You have not signed on to the required Applications Database error

Greetings,
We are using the 7.2.12.04.25 32 bit version of ADI on an IBM P750 machine running AIX 5.3. The Oracle proper application is version 11.5.10 on a 10G database. We have two users that are unable to upload each others spreadsheets but are able to upload their own. A different user is able to upload the spreadsheets created by both of the users that can't upload each others spreadsheets. The ADI settings appear to be the same and the users are selecting the same responsibility. The database properties seem to be the same inside the spreadsheets as well. An option would be to copy the contents of the other person's spreadsheet into one they created and then upload it but that process is too cumbersome to entertain. Has anyone run into and resolved this issue? The error they are seeing is "You have not signed on to the required Applications Database".
Thank you!
Scott

Do the users need to sign into the same responsibility to upload a spreadsheet the other created? They are both signed into a GL responsibility but not the same one.
Since they are two different responsibilities then I'd give it a try (ask the other user to login to the same responsibility) and see how it behaves.
Thanks,
Hussein

Error in generating form with 6i

I have installed designer 6i rel 2 with form developer 6i on NT
4.0.
When in design editor, I want to generate the form with generate
module, the system generate "CDR-21600: A running Generator or
Utility has failed."
Also in action column writes: " It is possible that the internal
cache is now in an inconsistent state. You are therefore
recommended to close and restart the application."
Could anyone tell me what is the problem and how to solve it.
thanks

Here is an document which describes some known causes of CDR-
21600 errors. I hope it will help you.
PURPOSE
To describe some known causes of CDI-21600 errors and to
suggest possible solutions and workarounds.
SCOPE & APPLICATION
This note was written for users of Oracle Designer releases 2.1.x
and 6.0.
CDI-21600 errors occur most frequently during Design Capture and
when generating forms with the Forms and WebServer generators.
Investigating CDI-21600 errors
In Oracle Designer Release 2.1.2 and Release 6.0, this error has
the form:
CDI-21600 'A running generator or utility has failed'
The Release 2.1.1 error message was: 'Generator or Utility throw
an Exception'
The CDI-21600 error message means that the generator is hitting
an unhandled exception, also known as a GPF (general protection
fault). The CDI-21600 error masks the underlying exception error.
To see the real error do the following:
1. Go into the Registry Editor (REGEDIT).
2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\oracle\des2_70
3. Set EXCEPT_HANDLING to 0 (by default it is 1).
Repeat the action that resulted in the error.
Known Causes of CDI-21600 Errors and Possible Solutions
Some of the reasons why CDI-21600 errors occur are listed below.
1. A common cause of CDI-21600 errors is failure to install the
necessary
Developer patches.
See [NOTE:64630.1] Developer Patches required to run
Designer with Developer
2. Check that Designer is running on a supported database. Also
check that the
TNS connection is correct.
See [NOTE:60705.1] Designer Certification Matrix (HTML)
3. Check for 'dangling' foreign keys, in other words FKs no longer
owned by any
table in the repository. Delete all invalid constraints.
Invalid constraints may be created if you use the repository
dump utility to
dump and restore external foreign keys referencing tables
shared into the
application system, without dumping and restoring the tables
that own them.
If you restore a complete dump (rather than a 'skeleton' one),
and then use
the 'Reconnect Share Links' option when restoring, you may be
able to
resolve this problem.
To get a complete list of 'dangling' constraints in your
repository, connect
using SQL*Plus and use the following query:
SELECT app.name, key.name
FROM ci_application_systems app, ci_constraints key
WHERE key.table_reference IS NULL
AND key.application_system_owned_by = app.id;
You can also run CKAZANAL.ANAL_REFERENCES on your
repository and delete all
the invalid constraints that it finds. You can run the Repository
Analyzer
from: Front Panel -> Repository Administration Utility -> Utilities.
NOTE: There may be inconsistencies in the repository that the
Repository
Analyzer cannot fix. You might solve such problems by
dropping all the
tables of your application, recreate them from the ERD,
then use the
DDT and recreate your modules.
[BUG:847190] CDI-21600 during forms generation: 'dangling'
foreign key
"Since the generator is running on a repository that contains
invalid
constraints and the Repository Analyzer solves the problem,
bug closed as
unfeasible to fix."
4. Check your modules for invalid or missing references such as
missing window
placements.
5. Try generating your module against default templates and
object libraries.
6. When capturing forms or libraries, try capturing the form or
library without
application logic, then capture the application logic on its own.
See [NOTE:1064690.6] CDI-21600 when capturing design of
form with
application logic
[BUG:757541] DESCAP: CDI-21600 error reported when
capturing with
application logic
Fixed In Ver: 6.0
[BUG:926383] Duplicate of [BUG:757541] This has been fixed in
2.1.2 patch
779559. However you would be advised to apply a later patch
such as 855635
which fixes more bugs in this area.
7. Make sure that all objects that are referenced by the form have
been
captured into the repository before capturing the form.
8. A CDI-21600 will occur if a lookup usage displays only one
column of
datatype DATE or if the column of datatype DATE is displayed
as the first
item in the block.
Workaround
Add more column usages to the lookup block and do not
display the DATE data
type column usage as the first item in the block.
9. [BUG:810472] CDI-21600 when 'Argument in Caller' is set
Fixed In Ver: 6.5.3.0
Workaround
Make sure that you have an argument in the called module that
is mapped to
the "Argument Passed Value" in the calling module. The only
way to get this
mapping back once the APV has the <Module Argument> label
is to delete it
and recreate it.
10. [BUG:801736] CDI-21600 on design capture of a form with
subclassed object
Fixed In Ver: 6.0.3.1.0 (backport)
Fixed In Ver: 6.5
You have an item that has been subclassed to an object.
Checking the Design
Capture option 'Capture Control Blocks' causes the CDI-21600
error. Uncheck
'Capture Control Blocks' and the problem does not occur. Open
the FMB in
Forms*Builder and look at Data Blocks -> Items. Break the link
to the
object, save the FMB, and the form will capture (similar to
[BUG:794872]).
Alternatively, ensure the link can be established.
11. [BUG:850436] CDI-21600 on generation of a form with template
having
subclassed object group
You try to generate a form out of Designer that uses a user-
defined
template. If a collection of objects in the template is grouped
into an
object group, dragged into the object library and then either
copied or
subclassed into a form, when the form is generated you get a
CDI-21600
error.
12. [BUG:822659] Module generation fails (CDI-21600) with multi-
column PK having
long prompt text
Fixed In Ver: 6.5.3.2
Module generation with multi-column primary key having long
prompt text
causes CDI-21600 with preference MSGSFT set.
Workaround
Shorten the prompt text of PKs may not be not applicable. You
may loose end
user information.
You may have the same problem with a mandatory compound
FK. CASEOFG tries to
generate a message '<P1> must be entered', where <P1>
contains all the
prompts of the bound items from the FK. If you reduce the
length of the
prompts, or set MSGSFT = NULL or WEDI = S or property
Mandatory?=No, it
works correctly.
13. [BUG:792542] Capturing application logic causes CDI-21600
(V2 style
triggers)
Fixed In Ver: 6.5.5
After removal of the v2 triggers, the form captures/merges OK
on 5.0.24.8,
provided patch 875027 has not been applied.
14. [BUG:790877] CDI-21600 if the primary/foreign keys have no
key components
Fixed In Ver: 6.5.11
Generating a module with tables having a primary key not
correctly defined
(no PK component) will cause a CDI-21600 error. This can
occur when
unloading a module from the RON. If you pick up the module
(and only the
module) in the unload set, the table and its PK are unloaded as
a skeleton.
Loading the .DAT file into a new application will create a PK
without a
component.
15. [BUG:771549] CDI-21600 if cannot connect to the DB with
connect string in
Options (Compile)
Fixed In Ver: 6.5.13
If you cannot connect to the DB with the connect string
specified in options
(Compile), the forms generator will fail with CDI-21600.
This problem occurs when you cannot connect to the DB
because:
- the username or password is wrong;
- or the SQL*Net alias is not defined in the TNSNAMES.ORA
file;
- or the SQL*Net listener is not started;
- or the DB is down.
16. [BUG:785106] CDI-21600 when generate master detail form
with preserve layout
[BUG:855812] is a duplicate of this bug.
Fixed In Ver: 5.0.24.6.0 (Bug:860426 Backport request for 2.1.2)
Fixed In Ver: 6.0
Fixed In Ver: 6.5.3
You have a master-detail Form with the Master having items
partly on a TAB
Canvas. Generate Module works OK. You enter Forms Builder
and move some
items on the tabs (just small changes, items are still on the
same tabs).
You change the look of the Detail and change Records
Displayed. Now in
Designer you generate the Module with Preserve Layout. You
get a CDI-21600
error. The problem might reproduce without doing any changes
in Forms
Builder, just by generating with Preserve Layout.
17. [BUG:891306] If primary key column of lookup in check
constraint comment of
base table
Fixed In Ver: 6.5.5
Workaround
Do not use the name of the bound item that is based on the
primary key
column of the lookup table in a check constraint comment of
the base table.
18. [BUG:896026] Forms gen throws assertion failure in
CVINI/BUILDACTIONITEM@/CV/CVI/CVIBNI.CPP
Fixed In Ver: 6.5.7
A problem is caused by a PL/SQL definition (function, package,
procedure)
being defined as a called module for the module you are trying
to generate.
To resolve the problem and enable the module to be generated,
remove all
Called Modules that are PL/SQL definitions (functions,
procedures or
packages).
See [NOTE:2107207.6] CDI-21600 during generation of module
or Assertion
Failure \cv\cvi\cvibni.cpp
19. [BUG:812333] CDI-21600 generating a web module after
adding an unbound item
Fixed In Ver: 6.5.3.0
Backport [BUG:1280667] raised to fix by 6.0.3.9
You add an unbound item (SQL expression) to a Web module.
When you try to
generate the module you get a CDI-21600 error. If you delete the
unbound
item the Web module generates correctly.
In a test case the problem occurred during validation of the
derivation
text, if the master module component was in a different module.
A workaround
was to rearrange module components so that this was not the
case.

Internal error while running forms in oracle application server 10 G

I am getting following error while running form in browser for oracle application server 10 G
"Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, [email protected] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log."
where to find the error log and how to rectify it.
Arun

and at what time does the error occur? Upon starting the form? When you browse data? When you execute a query?
Also: do you use Bean Areas in your form? How do you initialise them?
Have you compiled the form against the same version of database and PL/SQL libraries as the ones you use in the runtime environment? Have you compiled the form in Form Builder? If so, try opening the form, hit Ctrl-Shift-K twice (!), then Ctrl-S, and only then Ctrl-T.
Do you start the form from another form? If so, has this calling form been compiled against the same environment?

Compile Form against UTF8 Database

Hello,
Is it necessary to compile a Form against UTF8 Database to run it against UTF8 Database?
I'm on Forms 10.1.2.0.2 and Database 10.2.0.3.
Database Parameters are:
NLS_CHARSET=UTF8
NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS=CHAR
Can I compile a Form against WE8MSWIN1252 Database (NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS Parameter of the DB is also set to CHAR and when compiling the form the environment variable is also set to CHAR), and run the form against UTF8 Database (including the needed .env file in the formsweb.cfg), or do I have to set NLS_LANG and recompile the form against UTF8 database?
thx and regards,
Christian

Well I thought that I have to ask support...But I hoped someone had some experiences with that.
But here are some troubles I had with UTF8, maybe it helps someone, if not it's a nice type-in training ;-):
We had some very strange behaviours regarding forms with UTF8 databases, so the first believe was, that I have to generate against UTF8 database.
Well - the bad thing was the NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS parameter, which we set to CHAR for UTF8, and also for WE8, for the reason that a VARCHAR2(255) can really contain 255 chars, and not maybe 255/3 chars...
As the strange "Signature of Package has been changed" error which occured in UTF8 also occured in WE8, I did some researches.
The problem occured, when I had a record type (no %rowtype, no %type) declared in a database package spec, instanciated in forms, and given as a parameter to another stored procedure.
scenario:
forms compiled with NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS=CHAR, the package created and compiled with NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS=CHAR; => correct behaviour.
now in sqlplus:
alter session set NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS=BYTE;
alter package <recordpackage> compile;
and run the form again => ora-4062.
but as said: after some time this behaviour also happened in WE8.... Charset, and at the moment I didn't have any other troubles...hm...I'll have to do some checks.
but thanks for your response
regards
