Form builder saves no settings

Hello,
I just installed Form-Builder 6i. Whenever I start it I get the welcomescreen. Even if I say don't show next time it will show again. Also the recently used files don't show up in the file-menue as in 6.0.
Is this normal behaviour?
Thanks
Marcus

Settings are stored in a file called CAUPREFS.ORA which is in the Oracle Home directory - Check your file permissions and make sure you can write to that file and that it's not read only

XML Form Builder-Problem with the save button

Hi All,

The problem is when i run my project with iview.
I suppose the form to save my input and then to be closed but
unfortunately it did not.
I don't know where the problem is as in the XML Form Builder everything seems ok.
Thank you for your help!

Hi Carsten,
Thank you for your help.
There is no javascript error in the form.
In the status bar when i have my mouse over the button i can see "javaxcript:HrefSubmit('save',"");"
And when push the button "Transering Data..."
I created the form in the Xml Form Builder and in preview there the project works.
What do you mean "Did you access your Form using the KM Admin Explorer via a comman?"
How can i have acess there?
I appreciate you help!

Place value from Forms building in the collection Render Settings.

Hello,
I build a XML form with Forms builder. In one field you can select a project-date. Is it possible to export the the value of this field in a LayoutSet?
I used the standay LayoutSet ConsumerExplorer and would like to place the field project-date in this LayoutSet.
I think you have to do this in the Collection Renderer Settings -> Collection List Renderer Settings -> Displayed Properties.
The extra code that a placed in the Displayed Properties is: rnd:app_date(contentLink.)But still it is not working.
Can someone help me with this or send me a link.
Greetings,
GM

Yes thanks Francois, I know perfectly well how dispatchCustomEvent() and WHEN-CUSTOM-ITEM-EVENT works, but please read the full context to understand what it is, that I actually ask about. Maybe a modification of your code (which is not possible in reality) can better demonstrate what I try to do.
private void dispatchErrors(String message)
 log(message);
 try{
 CustomEvent ce = new CustomEvent(m_handler, THE_TAG_CODE);
 m_handler.setProperty(THE_TAG_CODE,message);
 returnValue = dispatchCustomEvent(ce);
 System.out.println(returnValue);
 catch (Exception e)
 e.printStackTrace();
}In Forms
DECLARE
 eventName varchar2(30) := :system.custom_item_event;
 eventValues ParamList;
 eventValueType number;
 tempString varchar2(100);
 returnValue varchar2(200);
BEGIN
 IF (eventName='THE_TAG_CODE') THEN
 eventValues := get_parameter_list(:system.custom_item_event_parameters);
 get_parameter_attr(eventValues,'THE_TAG_CODE',eventValueType, tempString);
 select 'Returned from Forms ' || tempString
 into returnValue from dual;
 return_value_to_java(returnValue);
 END IF;
END;Result: the Java console prints "Returned from Forms" + the parameter sent from Java originally.
Does that make it more clear?

System takes long time to Save/Activate using SFP Form Builder

We are planning to customize the Travel Expense PDF Form PTRV_EXPENSE_FORM in ECC 6.0 using transaction SFP FORM BUILDER (ABAP Workbench). As the initial step we copied it into Z form and started the changes. Here is the problem: Even for a small change on the Layout, system is taking long time to complete the process.
For example:
For Saving the changes: 6 to 7 minutes
For Activating the changes: 12 to 13 minutes.
On the server side :
we are on ECC 6.0, SAP NW04s SP 9 for EA-HR
ADOBE LiveCycle Designer 7.1 (Patch 3 applied).
On client machine :
we have SAP GUI 640 Patch Level 21,
ADOBE Reader 7.0.9.
Client machine has 1 GB RAM & 40 GB Hard Drive.
Thanks in Advance for the quick reply.

11g forms builder is not able to initiate the Internet explorer

Hi,
my problem is that my forms builder is not able to open the form in IE during compilation if Internet explorer is not already running but it is able to open the form in a new tab if Internet explorer is already running.
My system's specifications :-
Oracle forms builder 11g
Windows 2008 SP2
Internet explorer version :-Internet explorer 9
Please help.
Thanks,
RS

1. In the Builder verify that you have valid values for the Application Server URL and Browser Location fields in the Builder Preferences Runtime (tab). Do not leave either field blank.
2. In the browser settings, on the Advanced tab, scroll down to the Security section and check the box labeled, "Allow active content to run in files on My Computer".
3. Click Ok to save the changes. Close ALL open browsers
4. Retest

Can not open PLLs on Forms Builder 10g

Hi Folks,
everytime I try to open an existing PLL-File via the Forms Builder FileOpen-Dialog I have got the message

    Drive:\Path\LibName.pll
Pressing the OK-Button returns to the FileOpen-Dialog. The selected FileType in the Dialog take effect to the filelist but nothing else.
Note that the file exists and I select it from the Filelist!

While converting from 6i to 10g it is unavoidable to convert forms and libraries, so please help me!
PS: I can recompile forms with attached libraries if the PLX-Files (6i) are available, but the forms will not work with these PLX-Files.

I tried to generate a new library. This works fine until I saved it. After naming the library and pressing the save button in the dialog the pll file was created and the same error message appears.
I closed form builder and tried to reopen the library: same error.
I generated another new library and save this by selecting the first new I generated. Jippee! I get the message that the file already exists! I selected "overwrite" and the file was overwritten. After that the same error appears.
How can I (re)open PLL files? It is no solution to generate a new library overwriting the old one everytime some changes should made.
Trying to build the library (Ctrl+T) produces another error:
    FRM-91507: Internal Error: Unable to generate library.
Compiling (Ctrl-Shift-K) works fine.

Hi Mark,
there's no user except of me on the pc and server (I'm working via rdp-client on a virtual server), no server and no oc4j task or instance started. The one and only program that runs is forms builder. The error occurs if I just try to open a pll file via the file open dialog of forms builder.
With my admins we found that forms builder creates a (temporary) file (e.g. s22o without extension with 827392 bytes) in c:\ but only if I'm the actual user. After I'm getting the permission to create and update files on c:\ forms builder was able to open pll files. Now we're trying to find out why this accurs only on my login. With other users we tried these file was created on F:\ which is the personal drive of the user. I'm only wondering about the fact that temporary files were not created in the TEMP folder defined by the TMP or TEMP environment variable.
So we solved this unusual problem in an unusual way.

Forms Builder - form not pulling the data from the DB into the datablock

I'm working on a school project, and I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, or if something is wrong with my setup.
I created a basic form, 3 fields, and ID, firstname and lastname
the wizard connected fine, pulled the three fields into forms builder
I setup a canvas - type content with the a form format layout of the three fields.
saved the form.
When I run the form and it's displayed, nothing gets pulled into the fields (all blank).
Shouldn't it pull at least the first row from the table?
it says it's on record 1/1
XP, Oracle 10g, Form builder 10.1.2,
I'm not getting any errors
I want to get this basic form working first, before I start adding to it, and it doesn't seem to want to cooperate.
I've done the same steps as in the tutorials....

I did find that, if I put data in the ID, first and lastname on the form, and click Execute & Save on the Menu, it does add it to the database.
Maybe what I'm missing, is how do I get the form to read from the database when it starts up?

Error while saving form in Form Builder

Hi,
When i create and save form in XML Form builder i get an error "The Edit form does not contain a save button or link", I had even configured the save button but still i get this error. Does any one has idea about this issue.
Regards,
Ravi.

Hi,
i got this resolved. What i observed was, if you try to place some input field in "renderlist or Show" form and you didnt palce save button then this error will come on saving the project.
try removing the input fields in those forms save it(still you face this issue) close the project and again save the project. this will get solved.

Form Builder crashes while saving .fmb file when connected to db

Hi,
I am getting error The instruction at "0x679c352c" referenced memory at "0x0000001c". The memory could not be "read".
Forms version is 6.0.8.11.3 and database version is 10.2.0.3.0
I am doing the following steps:
1) Open .fmb file in forms builder
2) Connecting to database
3) Making some changes in form
4) Compiling (Ctrl+Shift+K) and generating form (Ctrl+t)
5) Saving form <--- Here I am getting the error and form crashes
If I do not connect to database then builder is allowing me to save the file
1) Open .fmb file in forms builder
2) Making some changes in form
3) Saving form (Successful)
I did some exercise just as a guess that may some part of the form is causing this error. I full expanded all components of the form i.e. blocks, canvases, triggers etc.
This exercise produced that 3 program units were giving same error while full expending those. I deleted those 3 program units and re-created them. Now it is not showing me this memory error while full expanding all program units. I can now fully expand my full form.
But I am still getting this error while saving the changes when I am connected to database.
Please help.

Forms builder crashes when opening any pll

Hi,
I have gotten this problem that my forms builder crashes immediately when I try to open any pll file. (There is nothing wrong with the pll file - my colleagues can open these files with no problems on their computers). It crashes before the pll file is even remotely loaded - almost as if it encounters an error during the parsing of the pll file.
I have no problem opening and editing fmb files in my forms builder.
This problem has not always existed but it came all of a sudden one day and since its been impossible for me to open a pll file and its getting annoying :P
I run:
- Windows XP SP3
- Forms builder version info :

I tried deleting everything under D:\ORA6i where its installed and then reinstalling it - but the problem is still there.
Does anyone have an idea about what could be wrong - because I am clueless atm. - could it be some registry settings that somehow got changed maybe ?
Edited by: [email protected] on Sep 3, 2008 5:06 AM

I have encountered various issues like this with Forms 6i over time and have tried numerous things to fix them - including complete uninstall of all Oracle products and reinstalls and the one thing I found to work best was to run a Registry Cleanup tool. I had the best success with Microsoft's RegClean.exe tool (originally released as a PowerTool), but it is getting harder to find now that Microsoft has desupported it and pulled it from their web site. There are a few places where you can still get it; www.cnet.com, www.zdnet.com, and www.majorgeeks.com just to name a few. Other Registry Tools will probably work fine as well, but this is the one I have history with. I did not have 100% success by cleaning the registry, but 50 to 75% of the time it fixed the issue without having to uninstall and reinstall Oracle Forms.
Disclaimer: Please exercise caution when doing anything with the Windows Registry. The smallest change could have serious effects. Always backup the registry or create a restore point with System Restore before you make any changes to the Registry!
Hope this helps.

Change font size in Forms Builder?

I wonder if it's possible to make the Forms Builder font size larger, say size 14? The purpose is to make a Forms presentation easier to follow with a big audience.
//Martin

About all you can do is set the screen settings down, which results in everything on your screen being larger. Try 800 x 600.

How to validate multiple lines which is exist in the form builder at the same session

Hi All,
we are working on oracle Forms personalization to trigger the message at the point of saving multiple lines rather than requiring each line to be save individually. Currently the oracle form is allowing to user to enter two distinct lines that have same resource and basis type in BOM.
Currently the Oracle form is allowing to enter the duplicate combination and not giving any error message even we enter the same combination of data.
As per the customer requirement, they don’t want to validate the data while creating the records but when they try to save the form, in that case it should validate all the records at a time then need to display the appropriate message.
Customer don’t want to customize the Oracle standard form. Here we have only option to use form personalization or through custom.pll.
Any idea on how to validate multiple lines which is exist in the form builder at the same session as before inserting the record itself need to perform the validations for all the records.
Thanks for your help in this regard.
Regards,
Thirupathi

you can write a post script which will do the necessary tasks.
I mean, once you are done with inserting records into these tables, exeute another procedure which will insert these "extra" records, based on some logic.
you may not be able use DB trigger as it may generate mutating error or if you don't write it carefully, it will go into recursive loops as you are refering to same tables.

Issue with XML form builder

Hi All,
1 ) My XML form builder is hanging up very very frequently (other than this, my portal is very fast).
when I save the project its hangs up at "50% saving internal model". then I have to close the xml form builder and reopen it and save it again (when i do it repeatedly, some time it saves).
when I click on "open Project" many times its not popup the project list, I have to close the xml form builder, logout from my portal and then login back.
Its horrible to work on this, keeps on hanging every time. Any idea why its behaving like this? as I said, my portal is very fast except XML form builder.
My Java version is 1.4.2_16... XML form builder verison is 6.xx
2) when clicked on "preview" button, can we open a pcd iview??? my requirement is, when user clicks on preview button I need to open my application built in PDK java (created iview out of it, which shows xml form in a better way)?
3) Can I show "Edit" form first other than "Renderer" form in News application? Presently it shows renderer form-> user has to click edit link -> then it will open Edit form. I want "Edit" form to be visible to the user in the first step itslef. is it possible?
Thanks
Pradeep
Edited by: pradeep bondla on Nov 19, 2009 3:08 AM

Hi.
I suppose changing of the JDK, because 1.4.2_16 is not recommended version (see SAP Note 716604). Refer to note 718901 - How to Change the JDK of the J2EE Engine.
Also check what version of client JRE in use. (see Note 1341069 - XML Forms Builder not supported if client JRE is 1.6).
Best regards,
Aliaksandr Zhukau
