Extending CRM and Form Builder

Is it correct in what I am seeing that the CRM froms generated from the Extend CRM Database are not hot swapable within the form builder? Unlike all the standard fields and custom generated fields within the form builder which can be moved around, it appears the CRM Forms become static placements. Is my browser simply bugging out or is this the case? I cannot move them once placed and stupidly they are placed below the everything including the Word Verification.
If it is the case, which I am suspecting, it renders the Form Builder for clients without HTML skills (like most of them) completely useless.
Matbe my borwser si just bugged. Confirmation please if anyone else gets this same issue.

Hi
My situation is that I having tabbing issues after I have created a more custom order registration form and applying additional CRM fields. Customer wanted certain fields in a certain order, but I notice that the tabbing is predicted by the Admin form builder, beginning with the Title followed by the Name and so on.
I have tried to apply my own tabbing order (tabindex=1, tabindex=2.. etc) but that seems to not apply.
Any thoughts?

Forms services and form builder

Hi,
We are installing Oracle Forms 10g Application Server 10.1.2.0.2. What is difference between
Form Services and Form Builder. Which one developer should be used for migration,qa purpose?
Thanks
sandy

Sandy,
Oracle Forms Services is a part of the Oracle Application Server and is used by the apps server to display a Form built with Oracle Forms. Forms run inside a Java container in a Web Browser (Internet Explorer, etc.).
Oracle Forms Builder is a Rapid Application Development (RAD) tool used for creating user interface applications. Your developer will use the Forms Builder to create new or modify existing Forms applications.
I'm not sure what you mean by Migration and QA. Are you migrating from an older version of the Forms Builder? As to QA, who ever is performing the QA would need the Forms Builder only if they need to look at the PL/SQL code in a Form for standards compliance, proper logic, etc.
Hope this helps.

Oracle XE and Form Builder 9.0.4 connect prob

Hi all,
wasn't to sure which forum to put this it, but i'll try here. When trying to connect to the XE database from form builder (or SQL *Plus) I keep recieve these two error messages.
ORA-00604: err occured at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-01009: missing mandatory parameter.
This happens after entering username, password and Database -> Conenct
Anyone else had this problem before or know of a possible solution?

Hi ,
Check the log files produced during the installation for any errors.....
Also , as ORA-01009 error is not described in the Oracle standard error messages , you may search for it and fing a solution on Metalink....

SCM and Forms Builder version control

Hi,
I would like to start using Oracle 10g SCM repository with Forms builder for version control. The idea would be that the forms developers do not use Repository Object Navigator.
I read from the instructions that Oracle9i Forms Developer requires the .fmb and other associated files to be located on an accessible disk, i.e. outside of the Oracle9i SCM repository. Thus to edit a .fmb file it must first be downloaded to a file system. That means that the developer needs to use RON. Is that really so? What is the reason for that?
When I was testing the version control functionality with Forms Builder I realized that the users cannot easily determine if a file is checked in or our unless they use RON or try to perform the action (i.e. check in or out). Is there any other solution for this?
Thanks,
Tomi

Hi user574160
Subversion is seen as the natural successor of CVS, and so is a natural choice for many development sites out there.
Note you should have a look at the following Re: Configuration Management in Forms 6i regards Subversion locking to ensure the integrity of your binary forms files.
In turn the Subversion Book under section 3 Locking gives a good explanation of protecting binary files.
Hope this helps.

Help!!!How to run Form Builder and Forms Runtime together?

Dear Friends,
I am new to Oracle Developement and need your help.
Everytime I click the RUN icon to run a form from the Form Builder, the Forms Runtime starts, however, closes my Form Builder the same time. After I closed the Forms Runtime, the Form Builder shows up as before.
In another word, I cannot have both Forms Runtime and Forms Builder at the same time. How can I run the form without closing the Form Builder so that it's eaiser to modify the form and time saving?
Thank you very much.

Thanks. But I cannot make by using alt+tab. I know it is strange.
I could do that before but I don't know what's wrong with it now because start of the Runtime automatically hide the Form Builder until I close the runtime. Does anyone have any idea or same experience of this? Any suggestion?

Desname parameter works fine in Report builder but fails in Forms builder

Hi,
I need some help with my current task. Here is my problem.
I am working on Oracle 10g. My reports and Forms builder version is 10.1.2.3.0.
My objective is to use Forms builder to call a report which will direct the output directly to the printer without preview.
First , in report builder , I use the Parameter Form builder and set Report parameter DESTYPE = PRINTER and the DESNAME automatically changes to PCL6 ( which is the network printer name I am using).
When I run the report , the output is directed to the printer and it works just fine.
But in Forms builder , when I call the same report, set the DESTYPE as Printer and DESNAME as 'PCL6' , it gives an error Invalid printer name 'PCL6' specified by parameter DESNAME.
I tried searching in this forum, it says the error is due to an invalid printer name specified in the DESNAME. But if my printer name is invalid, I wonder how the same printer name works well in Report builder?
My coding in Forms as below :
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY( repid, REPORT_DESTYPE,PRINTER);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY( repid, REPORT_DESNAME,'PCL6');
Appreciate if anyone can help. Thanks
Regards
Shiva

Hi Puppethead,
I have tried with your suggestions.
the following condition -- did not work
( (mgr_name = :manager name)
OR (mgr_name LIKE DECODE(:manager name, 'ALL', '%', NULL)))
but for the other condition ---
( (mgr_name = :manager name)
OR (mgr_name LIKE DECODE(nvl(:manager name, 'ALL'), 'ALL', '%', NULL)))
is wrong because, :manager name cud be null, when it is null, it takes 'ALL' i.e. '%' which shud not be the case.
if the user enters null, it has to display records with null only but with the above condition it takes '%'
The main issue which i dont understand is, the report works fine for the first time. for the second time, the report takes null values . why is it taking null values for the second time.
Thanks

Open a form with space on the path with form builder from a batch

Hi,
I cannot open a form from a batch on Windows if the absolute path contains spaces.
For example, if I try to open a form in "C:\" from cmd with C:\ORANT\bin\ifbld60.exe C:\Form.fmb, I have no problem, if I try to open a form in "C:\Documents and Settings" with C:\ORANT\bin\ifbld60.exe "C:\Documents and Settings\Form.fmb" or C:\ORANT\bin\ifbld60.exe C:\Documents and Settings\Form.fmb, I have some dialog with info and the error FRM-90927 and form builder doesn't start.

Why is that you want to open a FMB in Form Builder with a Batch file?
Is it that your application has only one FMB and that you work with only one FMB all the time?
Cheers,
PS: And if you must open the FMB through a batch file then look up the Form Builder Help for "Command Line options". It is an excellent resource.

PL/SQL & Form Builder

Hey
I used Oracle 8i when i was at uni to develop databases using PL/SQL and Form Builder. I was able to purchase Oracle 9i a few years so that i could practice my developing skills. Now i do not know what has happened to the Oracle 9i i bought, probably got misplaced when i moved house.
Does anyone know where i can purchase it from or download it from?
I need PL/SQL to program and create my tables and Form Builder to have the front end to link to my tables.
Any help would be most appreciated.
Kind Regards
Zak

You can download them free for your own non-commercial purposes.
Forms & Reports Developer 10g:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ids/index.html
Oracle Database 10g:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle10g/index.html
Express Edition will probably do fine (this is also free for commercial use), though you could use Enterprise Edition if you prefer ($$ for a commercial licence but free to mess around with at home).

Forms builder- only displays records created in the form builder?

Hi there. I am new to Oracle and forms builder. I just have a query. I have created a form and when I run the form, it doesnt display the data out of my database. I can add a new record using the form and it will add it to my database:
>

ADDRESS SUBURB PHONE

20837785 LAchlan McIntyre M 28-DEC-09
Hello Hell 5981131803

But it will only display the records that I have added using the form. Example, the first two records above were already in the database. I couldnt view them ith the form, but then I added the bottom record and I could only view that record in the form, but not the others.
Any ideas why? I think I just dont know how to use the forms builder properly. Many thanks

Forms starts with an empty screen(no records), only when you execute a query, the records are retrieved from the database.
This can be done by executing the "execute_query" command.
This can be done by pushing the button in the toolbaar, choosing the menu item, hitting the function key.
But it can also be done programmatically in forms code(in a trigger).
I hope this helps...

I am looking for a CRM system that integrates with mail chimp or constant contact, hoot suite and forms stack

I am looking for a CRM system that integrates with mail chimp or constant contact, hoot suite and forms stack

Hi,
I could resolve the issue since there were lot of issues after system copy.
1. During distribued to Cenrtal system - system copy.
You need to combine both DB and CI export copies in one folder during which one thing can happen.
SOURCE.PROPERTIES - this file will be there in DB export JAVA folder and also CI export JAVA folder where
DB SOURCE.PROPERTIES file doesn't have an entry of "src.ci.host". This will stop the SAPINST with error and after modifying the file "SOURCE.PROPERTIES" Traget System Copy finishes without any issue.
Then after this stage I encountered an issue with bind hosts entry in config tool which was due to virtual host name usage in my HACMP setup due to whcih JAVA gives a startup problem.
I eliminated this issue also.
After JAVA started I faced an issue with XI related navigations.
ecchangeProfile url still had an entry of Production System. This may be a bug.
After changing that entry, exchangeProfile was downloaded but it had all the source system host entries which were manually changed.
Now I can access all the XI related navigations.
I need to also perfrom SGEN and Profiles import.
Do I need to change any additional settings after this so that my production and DR can work without any issue?
Do you have any additional checks which I can perfrom to ensure my DR systems consistency before I start the log shipping from Production?
Regards,
Rajkumar

Forms Builder 6i and 9i

Currently, we have many existing applications that were written using Forms Builder 6i as client/server apps. I need to install Developer9i (Forms) so that I can do a proof of concept that we can do new application development using 9i while being able to maintain our existing applications. So my question is, can I safely install Developer9i Suite on a machine that already has Developer6i Forms & Reports and successfully build applications using both sets of tools?
I know in the past, there have been some problems with several of the Forms registry entries being shared by different versions. Does Developer9i use the same registry entries as well?
Thanks.

Installing everything is the simplest way to go since it will get everything configured for you. It doesn't mean that you have to use everything though.
You can even remove the infrastructur DB if you don't need it and stop services that you don't need to run.
You can install on the same machine as your DB but in a separate oracle_home. It's just a question of the cpu power of your machine and will it handle the load.

Question about Find and Replace PL/SQL option in Forms Builder

Dear All
I have a small question .
I am using Find and Replace PLSQ/SQL in forms Builder ( Edit - Find and Replace PLSQL) to search any code in a form.
Let say I am searching for EMP .
Then all the places is coming where EMP is used as well as EMPloyee , EMPloyee_Desc tables also coming .
So is there any way to serach only the EMP part .

If you look closely to the right of the "Find What" field, you should see a button - "Expression". This allows you to add some logic to your search. Alternatively, depending on how you code, you could just look for spaces. For example, if you are looking for EMP and not EMPLOYEE, search for EMP with a blank space before and after it (assuming you code this way) or use something like this \bEMP\b This would work for me because I code the same way I write sentences - each work is separated by spaces.
<blockquote> EMPLOYEE := EMP || ' - ID';</blockquote>
In this example, seaching for EMP with a blank space after would find what I wanted. However, if you only search for a trailing blank, you may end up also finding words like tEMP. This is where have a blank space before each word is helpful.
Other, more valuable expressions could be written to accomplish your task. Refer to the Forms Builder Online help for more information about using Expressions in the Find and Replace search window.
