File Handling in forms 10g

Hi,
I have a requirement where i have to get the files list of a directory like dir or ls and to get the count of files of a directory. I think it can be done using webutil.
Can any one please help me on this.
Greetings,
Ankit Chhabra

Hello,
You can generate the list file using CLIENT_HOST('DIR /B C:/*.* > C:/list.txt'), the use the CLIENT_TEXT_IO functions to open and read the generated file.

  • How to Edit the Title (file name) on forms 10g Screen.

    Hi ,
    How can one edit the Title ,and <(file name)> on forms 10g Screen ....
    I tried editing through the forms module preperty palette , but could n't change the Title, or file name on forms menu screen ...
    I guess , the entries are made through some other means...
    Please let me know on how to do this .
    Need a quicker reply ..
    Thanks in Advance
    Sanu

    using the below code too not getting me the new names entered by me ... still the old title names are comingWhat do you mean by new nemes? It will return you the actual file name which is saved in phycical location and form name will return you the module name which displays when you open forms in builder.
    Or you mean something else then its better to provide any example..like what is happening actually with you.

  • How to open .cmdrw file from Oracle Forms 10g

    Hi,
    We need to call *.cmdrw* file from Oracle forms 10g. Is there any way to call *.cmdrw* file from Oracle forms 10g?
    Thanks for the help.
    Viishnu Nekkanti

    In case you want to open a .cmdrw with its associated application you can use the following procedure:
    webutil_host.NonBlocking( 'rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler ' || client_filename );This works for every file where a program has been associated to its file extension. (Adobe Reader for *.pdf, Microsoft Word for *.doc, Microsoft Excel for *.xls and so on)

    I am running my application from another machine ,it running fine i want to generate excel report on client machine
    presently i m using OLE2 for fetching the data in excel , it is working fine but it generates the excel file on file server machine and i want get the output excel on the client machine. aftre OLE2 i m using CLIENT_OLE2 with webutil (instead of OLE2) its get compile successfully but during runtime it give error "oracle.forms.webutil.ole.OleFunctions bean not "found.CLIENT_OLE2.create_obj will not work"
    *so please tell me without oracle application server is this possible or not .*

  • Error while calling BI Publisher from Forms 10g using Webservice - Urgent !

    Hi,
    I am calling a BI Publisher(10.1.3.4.1) webservice from the Forms 10g (10.1.2.0.2). I developed a jar file which works fine when I run from the Jdeveloper. I have successfully attached jar file to the Forms 10g but when I am calling from the when-button-pressed trigger I am getting beow error
    Exception: java.lang.Exception: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: oracle.j2ee.ws.saaj.client.p2p.HttpSOAPConnection.setPreemptiveBasicAuth(Z)V
    Thanks in advance

    What steps did you follow to successfully attached jar file to the Forms 10g? To me, it sounds like you don't have your .jar file configured with Forms Builder and/or your App Server. Your .jar file needs to be added to the FORMS_CLASS_PATH in the default.env and the FORMS_CLASS_PATH registry entry. You will likely need to modify the formsweb.cfg also to include your .jar in the archive= or archive_jini= variables (depending on your JRE [Jinitiator or Sun JRE respectively]).
    It could also be a dependency on an additional Java library. Is "setPreemptiveBasicAuth" a method that you created or it is a dependent method from an additional library?
    Let us know this; as well as which Java version you're using.
    By the way, with respects to your "Urgent!" request. You have to understand that forum contributers are purely voluntary - this is not our full-time job. If your issue is truely urgent, it is always best to open a Service Request (SR) with Oracle Support than to rely on the forum for an urgent reply! ;-)
    Hope this helps,

  • Webutil for Forms 10g - Apple Mac Client - Save File Dialog Box

    I am trying to setup a button on a 10g Form to download a file from an Oracle 10g database. The button uses Webutil package and the client_get_file_name function to ask for a file name and directory to place the file via file transfer from the database.
    Using any Windows client, when you press the button the form brings up a Dialog box for the file name. Everything works fine in Windows.
    But when I use a Apple Mac client, I get this message when I click on the button:
    “oracle.forms.webutil.file.FileFunctions bean not found. WEBUTIL_FILE.FILE_SELECTION_DIALOG_INT will not work.”
    I can only assume this maybe because the MAC doesn't use the DLL files that are associated with Webutil, like jacob.dll, etc. ???
    Does anybody know of how to get a dialog box to appear on a Mac client from Forms 10g?

    The Windows java console says:
    RegisterWebUtil - Load WebUtil Version 10.1.2.0
    Loaded image:..
    proxyHost=null
    proxyPort=null
    connectMode=HTTP,native
    Forms Applet version 10.1.2.0
    When I checked the Mac's java console, I don't get the "RegisterWebUtil" I get:
    proxyHost=null
    proxyPort=0
    connectMode=HTTP, native.
    Forms Applet version is : 10.1.2.0
    Then I get the error messages below..
    What might cause those?

    I want to ftp a file from a client machine to the database server machine using forms 10G (or PL/SQL).

    hi
    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.

    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.

  • Saving a PDF or DOC file into Oracle 9i using Developer Forms 10g

    Hi guys,
    I want to save a pdf or doc file into oracle 9i. I am using Developer 10 g. Please help me;
    1. What datatype field should be in database table to store such file.
    2. Which code should I use in Forms 10g to display open file dialog, get the name and save that into database table.
    Thanks in advance

    WEBUTIL is a library used with forms to interact with the client. With Forms10G the library comes shipped with the developer suite, for forms 9i i'm not sure, check the forms-page at otn if there is any download available. For documentation about how to do a file-upload, simply search the forum, there are lots of examples.
