Executing oraxsl utility through forms 10g

Hi,
I tried to execute oraxsl utility in forms 10g using a button but failed. This utility is working fine when i run it through command line interface, but its not working on forms.
Code on when-button-pressed trriger is :
Declare
cmd varchar2(1000);
Begin
cmd := 'oraxsl d:\cdcataloginfo.xml d:\cdcataloginfo.xsl d:\cdcataloginfo.htm';
message(cmd);
host(cmd, NO_SCREEN );
IF NOT Form_Success THEN
Message('Error - Not Succeeded');
ELSE
Message('Succeeded.');
END IF;
End;
It shows the 'succeeded' message when i run this form, but it doesn't create the HTML file.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Using IE 8 and tried on IE 7 as well.
Oracle JInitiator: Version 1.3.1.22Oracle Jinitiator is not compatible with IE 7/8, you have to use the Sun JRE 1.6.0._16 or higher instead. Take a look at section *2.2 Oracle Forms Applications on Client Platforms* in the Oracle Application Server 10g (10.1.2) Certification Matrix.
After installing the Sun JRE 1.6.0, you will need to modify the %DEVSUITE_HOME%\forms\server\formsweb.cfg to set the correct JRE version information. Make the following changes:
# System parameter: base HTML file for use with JInitiator client

I understand, often people post in old threads not realising that they are old.
I think that it is difficult to understand how to helpp you without more details of what you did (ie which files you changed and how), and what debugging you have then performed to check which parts of the solution are working.

Opening a pdf file through form 10g

Dear all,
I have requirement to open a pdf file through my form application.
Ho will i do this?
What is the procedure to do this??
Please help me.
Regards

Can you tell me where the pdf can be found. Through a webserver or inside the database or is the pdf somewhere else?
If the pdf is available through an url you could use web.show_document which can open the url/pdf document in a new browser window.
If the pdf is inside the database you could download the pdf to the client using webutil and then open the pdf document using a host command.
If the pdf is inside the database or by a url you can also use a forms bean. I've used forms bean bean to unload a pdf from the database and show it inside the forms application. Most important when using a forms bean is that the bean component can show all the fonts which are used inside the pdf. There are some free solutions which can not show i.e. bar codes. The are also some paid components which will do the trick.
Regards,
Mark

Record not inserting into the table through Forms 10g

Hi all,
I have created a form in 10g(10.1.2.0.2) based on just one table that has 4 columns(col1, col2, col3, col4).
Here col1, col2 and col3 are VARCHAR2 and col4 is date and all the columns are not null columns(There are no primary and foriegn key constrains, which means duplicates are allowed).
My form contains 2 blocks where block 1 has one text item (col1) and 3 buttons (Delete, Save, Exit).
And block2 is a database block and has col2,col3,col4 which are in tabluar layout frame displaying 10 records.
When the form is opened the cursor has to be in block1.col1 for querrying. Here i enter a value in col1, and then when I click on col2 in the block2, then I put execute_query in new_block_instance of block2, which displays the records.
The block2 properties are not updatable, insertable and query is allowed.
Everything is working good until here. But here in the block2 when I want to insert another record into the table, by navigating all the way down to the last empty record and entering the new values for col2, col3 and col4 And then Ctrl+S will display the message "*FRM-40400: Transaction complete: 1 record applied and saved.*" But actually the record is not inserted into the table.
I also disabled the col4 by setting the Enabled property to No, since while inserting new record the date have to be populated into it and it shouldnt be changed by the user. And im populating the sysdate into the new record by setting Intial Value property to *$$DATE$$*.
And another requirement which I could not work arround here is that, the col3 also should be populated with the username of the user while inserting.
please help me...

Hi Sarah,
I do not want to update the existing record. So I kept Udate Allowed to No in property palette for the items in block2.
Do I have to do this property at block level also?
I'm inserting a new record here.

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:

How to run report through form

dear friends
i have a problum i craeted a report and i want when i press the button
the report dispalyed
please send me the code for that i tried lot but not succesed
or any possible help
thanks in advance
regards
Vikas Singhal

Vikas,
What have you tried so far. Could you give us a code example? Also, what version of Forms and Reports are you using? Forms 6i through Forms 10g have the RUN_REPORT_OBJECT() built-in which is the recommended way to run a report, however you can also use the WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT() built-in to call a report. There are examples of how to use both in the Forms Help system.

Forms 10g hangs while running a procedure which has got lot of loops

Hi,
When executing a procedure in Forms 10g which fetches millions of records, application getting stuck.
What parameter is required to be changed in forms configuration?
Can any1 help me out???
Thanks in advance,
Natz.

Particularly this passage:
MaxBlockTime
MaxBlockTime is the time in mili seconds to wait when reading data from the
Runform process.
e.g. a long query, lots of complex processing
(default = 1000 milli sec)
/j2EE/OC4J_BI_Forms/application/forms90app/forms90web/WEB-INF/web.xml
or
/j2EE/OC4J_BI_Forms/application/formsapp/formsweb/WEB-INF/web.xml
Example
=======
<servlet>
<servlet-name>l90servlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>oracle.forms.servlet.ListenerServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>maxBlockTime</param-name>
<param-value>1800000</param-value>
</init-param>
</servlet>
or
<servlet>
<servlet-name>lservlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>oracle.forms.servlet.ListenerServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>maxBlockTime</param-name>
<param-value>1800000</param-value>
</init-param>
</servlet>
What happens?
=============
For long requests (like querying a big table), the Listener
Servlet waits for a default time of 1 second for the Forms
runtime process to complete the request
If the request is not completed then the Listener Servlet sends a busy
response to the client asking the client to retry.
The client sends a retry zero content length request to check if the query is
complete.
This default time of 1 second can be configured using Listener Servlet
parameter called maxBlockTime

Issues in calling Sql Loader through forms developer (10g)

Hi,
I am developing a form(in 10g) ,in which I am calling sql loader for loading data onto a oracle database table from external source (e.g. data file is a .CSV file).
But , somehow the sql loader is not getting executed.
Here , I am giving the environment settings , approach i am taking;
This is a distributed system , both the application server,and database server are mounted on two different servers.
The form is delpoyed on the application server.
The database table , and the sql loader are configured on the databse side.
I am using host(<sql loader command>) command to invoke the Operating System command through forms.
The sql loader is working ok , and the data is getting loaded successfully onto the required database table when I am executing the sql loader command on Unix prompt , but through the forms , it's not working.
Do I need to change some environmental setting to make this work...
Any quick help in this regard is highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi Craig,
I have already tried out the option of calling sql loader through stored procedure,but this is not working ...
could you please share any examples to do so ...
code snippet i am using in forms:
declare
usid get_application_property(userid);
pwd get_application_property(password);
db get_application_property(host);
msqlldr varchar2(250);
begin
msqlldr:='/u01/oracle/formss/bin/sqlldr' username=<uid/pwd@db> control=<control file name> data=<data file name> log=<log file name>
hosts(msqlldr);
end;
Note that sqlldr command ,for that matter any unix shell command is not working through the hosts() command ...
could you please suggest any way out ...
Thanks.

In Forms 10g Where does SQLs execute?

In Oracle Forms 10g there is Java Applet on top of which our Application runs. Now suppose we have a button and in that we execute a SQL to get a column value.
Now where does the SQL fire?
Does it fire in the Applet (i.e in client) or does it go to the App Server and then execute?

RTM first!
If it's PL/SQL written in the form, that executes on the application server, that has a PL/SQL engine.
If it's a call to a procedure stored in the database, that executes in the database.
If it's SQL, then that can execute nowhere else except in the database.
Do not imagine that the applet does any other thing except rendering what you see on screen and handling the clicks and keystroke to the application server (which does the further processing, handling to the database the SQL that has to be executed).
Briefly, that's the basics.

Converting Unicode to UTF-8 character set through Oracle forms(10g)

Hi,
I am working on oracle forms (10g) where i need to load files containing unicode character set (multilingual characters) to database.
but while loading the file , junk characters are getting inserted into the database tables.
while reading the file through forms , i am using utl_file.fopen_nchar,utl_file.get_line_nchar functions to read the unicode characters ...
the application server , and database server characterset are set to american utf8 characteset.
In fact , when i change the text file characterset to utf8 through an editor(notepad ++,etc) , in that case , data is getting inserted into database properly,(at least working for english characters) , but not with unicode ...
Any guidance in this regard are highly appreciated
Thank you in advance

Problem executing form 10G

Hi Buddies;
I'm trying to execute FORM 10G, but when I choose Run Form, I get this error message;
Internet Explorer has closed this webpage to help protect your computer
A malfunctioning or malicious add-on has caused Internet Explorer to close this webpage.
Previously I could execute the form, but after some problems in my laptop and had to reinstall the OS.
Now I got this problem.
Have any idea how to solve this?
Also, I was trying using Firefox, but getting similar error message.
Suggestions are welcome.
Regards

Hi,
You have to replace the JVM.DLL in the directory *<Program Files>\Oracle\JInitiator 1.3.1.22\bin\hotspot* with the latest jvm.dll(2.2Mb) from here.
And if you are using Explorer 8, then do the following.
1. Open Internet Explorer 8
2. Go to Tools, Internet Options
3. Click on the Advanced tab.
4. Scroll down into the Security section and find “Enable memory protection to help mitigate online attacks”.
5. Uncheck “Enable memory protection to help mitigate online attacks”.
6. Click Ok and Ok again.
7. Reboot your computer.Regards,
Manu.

Host in forms 10g and execute shell script

Hi!
I have a little problem. When I transfer form to AS through SSH protocol I want to automatically generate form on AS wit h code:
declare
lv_server_dir vc2() := /folder1/folder2;
lv_file_name vc2():= a.fmb;
host(lv_server_dir||'/ftp_gen.sh '||lv_server_dir||' '||lv_file_name);
In file ftp_gen.sh is code:
export ORACLE_HOME=myOracleHome
export PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
export TNS_ADMIN=$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin
export SQLPATH=$ORACLE_HOME/dbs
export NLS_LANG=SLOVENIAN_SLOVENIA.EE8ISO8859P2
export DISPLAY=:2
cd $1
./gen.sh $3
When I execute this command on form nothing happens.
What could be wrong?
Thanx,
Bojan

Hi Bojan,
Executing the HOST Command will execute in the Mid Tier and nothing will show up in the Client. (other than the form go into Blocking mode). Just check out whether the Operation you wanted to do in the Mid tier is done or not. (Here it looks like you are compiling a form. So, check out that the fmx is generated.)
Alternatively to check out the proper execution of the HOST command, you can generate a file in the Mid-tier (on successful execution of the shell script) and read the file using TEXT_IO and display a message to user.
