Feedback from ebs form opened from notification

I have a notification that has a link to launch a standard EBS form. (Invoice create) The user has to complete the details on the invoice form as normal.
How can I find out in my workflow that the user has completed the task and created the new invoice and then relate that to my workflow.
After looking through the forum, the only suggestion that might work would be to add a new parameter that could be handled by the form but then I have to change a Oracle supplied form.

Hi,
There is no simple mechanism for this to happen.
The easiest (but most unreliable) method is to make the notification require a response, and have the users respond to the notification when they have done the work. The upside is that it is dead easy to implement; the downside is that typically users don't like having to do this, and they might also forget.
If you are not doing this, then you would need to have something in the process which waits for the action to complete - typically either a defer thread, receive business event, or a block. My preference would be to have a receive business event, and then code something that fires the event when the record is committed in the form - this could be a change to the seeded form, or could be a trigger on the underlying table to fire the event when the record is created.
If you don't want to code something in the form or in a trigger, then your only other option would be to have the workflow process pause, then check whether the record has been updated / created, and then move on if it has, or loop back to the pause if it has not. The downsides of this are that it requires polling to take place (which is not very efficient), additional loops record extra records in the Workflow history tables, and if the process is time-critical you are introducing an unnecessary delay in the process. However, this is less intrusive to do than making a change to the form or writing a trigger.

Unable to pass parameter to EBS Form from external system (OBIEE)

I set up the OBIEE to EBS Navigation as per a metalink note to the form PA_PAXTRAPE_SINGLE_PROJECT. I tried to pass a PROJECT_ID parameter. The form opens up but I do not see any indication of the parameter being passed through.
In general, when you pass a parameter to a EBS form from an external system, is it suppose to open the FORM with that specific value? In this case should it open up the Project for the PROJECT_NUMBER that I passed through?
Any way for me to diagnose the issue?

Hi,
Rather than giving the name of the Block and Field name there create a parameter in the form itself and pass value to that parameter. You can use this values using :PARAMETER.<field_name>.

EBS Forms functional script runs fine in OpenScript but not from OTM

Hi,
I have an EBS forms functional test script which runs fine in OpenScript, but when scheduled from OTM, the web part runs fine but when it comes to forms, the script fails with the following error:
Forms Object Not Found! XPath: //forms:window[(@name='NAVIGATOR')], Type: oracle.oats.scripting.modules.formsFT.helper.test.FormWindow, Cause: No Matches <Less>
I have performed all the steps below already:
1) Stopping the OATS Agent service and changing it to manual.
2) Starting the command prompt and running the AgentManagerService command as mentioned in your forum.
3) The console displays
C:\>C:\OracleATS\agentmanager\bin\AgentManagerService.exe -c AgentManagerService
.conf
wrapper | --> Wrapper Started as Console
wrapper | Launching a JVM...
jvm 1 | Wrapper (Version 3.0.3)
jvm 1 |
4) I have added the test in the OTM with the following command line settings:
-browser.type InternetExplorer -formsft.startup_timeout 30 -formsft.action_timeout 20 -formsft.response_timeout 10 -delayPercentage -1 -delayMin 0 -delayMax 5 -FormsAutomationEnabler.bat -enableForms true
But each time the script fails, please note that my script has assets and they are placed within the script folder.
Please help me on this at earliest.
Thanks,
Aarti

Hello Aarti!

You need to enable Forms Automation under agent. Please follow by below steps.
1.open command prompt
2.cd C:\OracleATS\agent
3.FormsAutomationEnabler.bat -enableForms true
4. Run script from OTM

IOS 6 - stock Weather app corrupts hourly temperature values when opening from Notification Center

Just noticed this strange occurrence happening for the past several days...
When you open the Weather app by accessing from Notification Center, the city whose weather is currently set will display distorted hourly temperature values as follows:
Deleting the city and re-adding to the list will correct these hourly values, so Yahoo is refreshing the correct temperatures to the app. However, this will be negated once again when quitting the Weather app (icon wiggle and "X"), accessing Notification Center and selecting the weather again in this same fashion.
The reason I am leaning toward this being an iOS 6 bug (as opposed to a Yahoo! issue) is that my iPod Touch is still on 5.1.1 - this issue does not occur here. Hourly temperatures display normally by accessing Weather in this manner.
Does anyone know whether there is a specific, non-developer email address to submit bug reports for iOS issues?
Thanks,
Steve

InfoPath form opens in the browser instead of InfoPath Filler when a link is clicked from the Approval Task email

I have an admin approved InfoPath 2010 form that is web enabled. It is published to a SharePoint 2010 Forms library and an Approval Workflow is attached to it.
The form needs to open up in the InfoPath Filler with the Workflow Task bar at the top so users can approve the task from within the form and not go to Tasks list to do so.
Here's a problem I am experiencing: sometimes the form opens in InfoPath Filler and sometiems it opens in the browser when the link to approve the form is clicked form the email that is sent by the workflow.
Windows 7, IE 9, MS Office 2010:
The form opens up in InfoPath filler like it supposed to. The Workflow task bar is there for users to approve the form.
Surface Pro with Windows 8.1, IE 11 and MS Office 2013
The form opens up in the browser and there is no Workflow task bar at the top.
Things that I've already looked at and tried which didn't solve the issue:
- The forms library is exclusivly set to open documents/forms in the Client Application
- Set the browser compatibility mode in IE 11, that doesn't work too well, because you have to do it every time you open the browser.
- Setting browser compatility in IE 11 reintroduced another issue, of multiple login promts, which was fixed by entering the SharePoint site in question into the Trusted sites by a group policy. Adding the site to trusted sites made the forms open up in the
browser.
- Researched compatibility issues with InfoPath and Windows 8.1, cannot find anything.
- Researched compatibility issues with InfoPath 2010, Windows 8.1 and SharePoint 2010, also didn't find anything.
Can someone offer a suggestion on how to fix this problem, preferably with no code, because we are not allowed to put custom code on the server?
I need to force InfoPath form to open in InfoPath Filler when the link to the form is clicked from the Workflow email. Also the login prompts should not pop up. Need it to work on all the platforms: Windows 7, and Surface Pro Windows 8.1.
Thank you.

Hi,

Changing fields in form opened in query mode via a link from a report

I have a summary report which allows me to access a form via a link: The form opens up with its fields populated with the corresponding record from the report.
Can additional code be added to the after displaying page section of the form such that some of the fields can be assigned with different values from those in the original record? If so, can anyone offer some sample code for this?

Hi,
You can access and set the values of the columns in forms by using certain apis. All the columns in the form are available in the session which can be accessed and set.
Sample Code
declare
flightno number;
ticketno varchar2(30);
tdate date;
persons number;
blk varchar2(10) := 'DEFAULT';
begin
flightno := p_session.get_value_as_varchar2(
p_block_name => blk,
p_attribute_name => 'A_FLIGHT_NO');
ticketno := p_session.get_value_as_varchar2(
p_block_name => blk,
p_attribute_name => 'A_TICKET_NO');
tdate := p_session.get_value_as_date(
p_block_name => blk,
p_attribute_name => 'A_TRAVEL_DATE');
persons := p_session.get_value_as_number(
p_block_name => blk,
p_attribute_name => 'A_NOF_PERSONS');
p_session.set_value(
p_block_name => blk,
p_attribute_name => 'A_FLIGHTNO',
p_value => to_char(NULL)
p_session.set_value(
p_block_name => blk,
p_attribute_name => 'A_TICKETNO',
p_value => to_char(NULL)
p_session.set_value(
p_block_name => blk,
p_attribute_name => 'A_TRAVEL_DATE',
p_value => to_char(NULL)
end;
The above code sets and gets value of the form fields. The form field is accessed by prefixing "A" to the form column name. For example if the column name is "DEPTNO" then to access or set value to it you should refer to the session variable "A_DEPTNO".

Why can't I open and answer an instant imessage notification using just one key(such as enter key)? If I shouldn't, what's the use of answering right from notification?

Why can't I open and answer an instant imessage notification using just one key(such as enter key)? If I shouldn't, what's the use of answering right from notification? I can instead, move my mouse to the app, right?

Messages opens multiple windows when selecting it from notifications

I notice that when I click on a new arrival message (iMessage) from notifications popup it will open 4 seperate windows and I can't reply until I close out 3 of the windows. Anyone else seeing this?

Hi,
So you have Messages App open.
However you have also closed (used the red Blob) the main Messages window so that you cannot see any current conversation.
You have the Notification Centre set to Notify on Messages and it does so for incoming iMessages.
At this point you say it opens 4 windows when you click the Notification.
Can you tell what what 4 windows ?
It should only be the Messages main window (Chat window/Interface)
I tried to test this using one of my own iPhones
I picked the one with the same Apple ID and it turned up like synce (no Notification, no sound alert)
I changed iPhone to one that does not use the same Apple ID
I got Notifications and sound but clicking the Notification does not open the main Messages window (I did still have my Buddy Lists on view).

Getting data into a standard eBS form from a custom form

To automatically enter (existing) customer information into a standard eBS form, we've created a custom query forms. This form queries for a customer and places the customer information into some global variables. This works fine.
Now, this query forms gets called using the zoom button of eBS.
First, the custom form got called with call_form. This worked, but after returning from the queryform, the toolbar was not as it was (missing some extra buttons, ect).
We fixed this issue by using (as stated in the developer guide) fnd_function.execute. This restored the correct toolbar, but no data gets returned into the eBS form. With some testing, it seems our custom code in the custom.pll stops working after the call to fnd_function.execute. When I diagnose the global values, they contain the right information. Can somebody suggest a way to let our custom code continue with processing after a call to fnd_function.execute?

Is there somebody with some insights into this problem?

I just got iPhone 5s and after a day when I open the notifications from the top that make the phone shows the apple sign and back to unlock!!

Can I open a notification from lock screen with just Touch ID?

Is there a way to open a notification from the lock screen by using only the Touch ID feature?
For instance, on my lock screen I will get a notification of a new email then I have to swipe at the email notification then type in my code or use Touch ID then the email opens.
Is there a way for when I get an email notification on my lock screen to just put my finger on the Touch ID sensor and have the email open? In other words, can I bypass the swiping motion of the notification with just a Touch ID sensor touch?

I haven't found a way to do so either. And I agree that it is pretty annoying. Touch ID is a great piece of technology but it is not well thought through and heavily underused from a software point of view.

Error with hyperlink to open a form in Workflow Notification

Hi All,
I am trying to create a hyperlink to open a form in Workflow Notification. I want to open "Prepare Mass Additions" form from my workflow. I am in R12 (12.1.3) and there is no parameters defined for this function.
So i am trying the method given here:
http://oracleappsnotes.wordpress.com/2011/04/15/accessing-oracle-forms-from-workflow/
Below is a summary of steps from this blog:
Register a new custom form function with a parameter CREATE_BATCH_ID. Function name is XXFAXMADDS. Its just the seeded FAXMADDS form function, just with the addition of parameter.
Create an attribute of type ‘Form’ which stores the name of the form function and the parameter with which we want to call it. The default value of the attribute is XXFAXMADDS:CREATE_BATCH_ID=&BATCH_ID
In a workflow process include a notification message.
Associate the attribute with the notification message
Personalize the new form function, to add actions to assign the value of parameter to the form field, then goto the Find Button, and click it.
    When i click on the link in notification, I am getting the below errors:
    FRM-47023: No Such parameter named G_QUERY_FIND exists inform FAXMADDS
    FRM-40105: Unable to resolve reference to item PARAMETER:G_QUERY_FIND
    FRM-47023: No such parameter named CREATE_BATCH_ID exists in form FAXMADDS.
    Why is this error? Why it is referring to G_QUERY_FIND which i have not at all used?
Thanks
Manu

Hi Hussein,
Clearing cache or bouncing application did not help. And now i am noticing that the value of this attribute does not change according to the changes i make in workflow builder.
Also, i tried by updating the workflow attribute from Workflow Admin, retried the notification and tried the link again. No help.
I tried updating attribute to just the standard form function name, still same errors!

Looking for feedback from those who have installed Windows

I have an Intel iMac - brilliant machine, I love it. I have not installed Windows : I just don't have the need to justify doing it, but I'm glad to know I can if I do need, or just want to.
Having a Mac is almost like being immune to viruses (almost - I'm not careless). Everytime I use a PC there are message about viruses - it must drive them crazy! And to install Windows on my iMac would render it vulnerable.
I'm just looking for feedback from those who have taken the plunge: how's it working for you? I'm not so concerned about the speed...more so about .exe files running amok.
There is no way I will install Windows without a valid need and hearing at least a couple of first hand user experiences

I HAVE SPENT 1 HOUR TODAY AT THE APPLE SHOP ASKING THE GENIUS GUY - WHY ARE APPLE COMPUTERS IMMUNE TO VIRUS AND HOW DO I PROTECT MY PERSONAL INFORMATION FROM BEING INTERROGATED AND TRANSMITTED TO THE OUTSIDE WORLD.
MY QUERY STEMS FROM EMAILS - IF THEY HAVE A PICTURE ATTACHED THE MACHINE WILL NOT OPEN THE PICTURES - THE MESSAGE SAYS TO PROTECT MY IDENTITY CLICK HERE IF YOU WISH TO DOWNLOAD. I HAVE TO MAKE A JUDGEMENT TO TRUST THE SITE WHICH SEEMS ODD AND SO WHEN I ALLOW THE DOWN - I DO WONDER WHAT IS GOING ON.
I DO RUN A SEPARATE PC AND WHEN I DOWN LOAD THE MAILS ONTO THAT COMPUTER MY NORTON ENGAGES AND WARNS OF INFORMATION OF PRIVATE NATURE BEING ATTEMPTED TO BE TRANSMITTED - AT THAT STAGE I CAN STOP THE TRANSMISSION - ON THE MAC I HAVE NO MEANS - THE GENIUS GUY SAYS DON'T WORRY.
HELP - CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHAT IS IT ABOUT MAC THAT WOULD SETTLE MY CONCERNS AND ALLOW ME TO DOWN LOAD IMAGES CONTAINED IN EMAIL WITHOUT WORRY OF THE COMPUTER BEING FRISKED FOR DATA AND IT BEING TRANSMITTED INTO THE OUTSIDE WORLD.
