Form opening problem

Hi all,
My form is not opening when i am clicking on any of the links of Oracle Apss Frontend.
The window that is opening is Java Applet Window and having only a link named Window.
When i click on this link i am getting a drop down menu containing three fields:-
1. Cascade
2.Tile Horizontally
3. Tile Vertically.
Apart from this the window is containing nothing.
Please let me know if anybody need more information to work on this issue.
Please help me.
I am using:-
Oracle Apps 11i
OEL 4
Thanks.

Is the issue with all forms or specific ones only? If with specific ones, please mention the navigation path.
Do you have any invalid objects in the database?
Have you compile those forms via adadmin?
When you login to the main login page, do you see the list of responsibilities? If yes, do you get the error when you click on the form?
Any errors in Apache log files? Or in JRE/Jinitiator Window?
Since this stopped working after you upgraded Developer 6i patchset, please review the doc again and verify that ALL the patches have been applied successfully.
Thanks,
Hussein

Amount of forms open in the session

Hello all,
I would like to restrict/control the amount of forms open by the user,
as I am using open_form.
I have found nothing in the forms help about that, like a system variable and nothing so far on the web.
A possible workaroung/idea could be to have a global
that I count up on when-new-form-instance
and count down on key-exit.
Did someone have experience that problem ? what do you think ?
I am using Forms 10g R2.
Regards
Frane
PS : I guess an amount of 10 forms open by user, could be a good limit in order to don't get performance problem.

Hello François,
So far that's the only workaround that I found sor far, init the global at my starting, then count up/down.
Do you think a limit of 10 opened forms at the same time is reasonable ?
Thx
Frane
PS : btw bravo about your LAF project !!!!, it rocks the layout, I am testing it at the moment on forms migration 6i=>10g that I have to do (sad that it's not brand new appli/project to do, then layout could be really be review and defined nice from the beginning)

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.

Window.opener problem in javascript

Hi,
I'm using a code for opening a clild window from the parent window. The child window contains some <input type="file"> elements. After setting the values of these file elements I'm closing the child window. But before closing I want to set the values of file elements to the file elements on my parent window.
The code I'm using is as follows:
"parent.jsp"
=========
function createWindow() {
window.open("child.jsp");
return false;
<form method="post" action="display.jsp" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="button" value="Add Attachments" onClick="return createWindow()"><br>
<input type="file" name="file1"><br>
<input type="file" name="file2"><br>
<input type="file" name="file3"><br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit Form"><br>
</center>
</form>
"child.jsp"
========
function returnToMainWindow() {
window.opener.document.forms[0].file1.value = document.forms[0].filex.value;
window.close();
<form method="post">
<center>
<input type="file" name="filex"><br>
<input type="file" name="filey"><br>
<input type="file" name="filez"><br>
<input type="button" onClick="returnToMainWindow()" value="Done">
</center>
</form> The problem is when I'm setting the values of file control of child window to the file control of parent window using window.opener, it's unable to set up the values. Can someone rectify the problem in the code.

It is impossible to set the value of the file input thing. But if they realy want it in a popup, then you can try something like this:
-1. Put the attatchement list in a iframe
0. Open the parent file with some with somewhere a unique id (like a session id or something
1. Open your child page in a popup, give that uniqueid as parameter ("like child.jsp?id=<uniqueId>")
2. Use regular file input things in that popup, and replace the 'close' button by a submit button
3. Track the submit of the form, show a 'now uploading to server, please wait' message
4. The child page sends the attatchements to the server, stored in a tempory folder named <uniqueId> (store it in the form as a hidden input thing)
5. When the upload is ready, display some message 'files uploaded, close this window to return to your mail'.
6. When the user clicks that 'close' button, close the popup and then reload the attachment-frame
7. The attachment-frame just lists the files stored in that <sessionid> folder, and it seems like the user has added those files to it
If you want i can create an example of it
koentjepoppe
note: if you add the date to that unique id, you know when that folder is created and then you know wich folders you have to delete if the user aborts his mail for example (then those files are still in that folder wasting space)

Why hasn't Adobe fixed the "disappearing form data" problem???

I am using Acrobat 9.2 and people are emailing me a fillable, savable form that I CAN'T READ WHEN I GET IT! What the...?
I'm using Windows 7. The PDF form opens blank and I can only see what the user typed in if I click on one of the fields. When I click on any other field, I can see that field only -- the first one disappears and there is no way to print it. Exporting the data gives me a useless text of .fdf whatever file that is also useless and require further processing. Is there no simple solution to this? Guess I need to start using Google Forms instead of lousy Adobe products!

This is a User 2 User forum not an Adobe help line.
There is a known problem caused by Macintosh's Preview application and an Adobe blogger has posted a tool to fix these forms. The solution has been posted many times so you should be able to search for it. As a user,
The reals question is why is Apple not fixing their program to operate properly on PDF forms.
As a fellow user, I do not need you childish attitude.

No form opened yet

Hello!
I am getting the below error while executing the SAP Script.
Normally its working fine. But if we are printing more than 32 elements, its giving the error.
No form opened yet
Message no. QG159
Diagnosis
When calling up one of the parameters FORM or LANGUAGE only blanks were transferred. A layout set has yet to be selected, whose name or language could be used as a default value.
System Response
This causes the program to terminate.
Procedure
The problem can only be rectified by a program change.
regards
Rajesh V

You should debug and check exact cause of this.Cause can be due to some missing parameter value like layout name or lanuage.
Check parameter values of open_form and write_form function module.

Forms Trace problem

I'm trying to use Forms Trace to assess performance in one of my forms, its slow and I want to find out if its middle tier/client processing or the network or the database.
Unfortunately, I only seem to be able to select a limited number of events to report on. I am tracing the events 32-46,65,66 and the form opens and runs as expected, however, if I try and increase the number of events to include, for example, 64 (Forms start & end) or 69 (Canvas) I get an error stating that communication with the server has been lost.

Image open problem in nokia 5230

Dear All,
I have nokia 5230 mobile & i am using from last 10 months but from past few days i am facing problem regarding image/songs open problem. whenever i trying to open image my phone gets hang & it shows nothing in it but i have 100 pics in memory card, same problem is with songs whenever i put some songs in memry card but songs gallery after refreshing shows nothing.
Please help me to resolve this issue.
Vipul

im not sure what to do about the images but the same happened with the songs. here is waht i did:
1. make sure you have the latest firmware installed (fw. 50).
2. when it is installed copy all tracks to pc and install nokia ovi music.
3. delete the folder called 'music' on your memory card.
4. open ovi music and add songs to playlists and copy to device. this will create a new folfre called 'music' and the error should be fixed
if that fails you should try a program called lcg jukebox as this is a much better music player

Desktop.open() Problem

I recently put together an application that relied heavily on the Desktop.open( ) method and several other methods from the Desktop class. However, all of a sudden the Desktop.open() does not work. I believe I read some where that this was due to the ShellExecute function or dll or something like that.
However, since my app is targetted at the Windows platform I resorted to using windows Explorer to launch the system default applications for files using a the code below
public static void openFile(File file) {
try {
    Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
    runtime.exec( "explorer.exe \"" + file.getAbsolutePath() + "\"" );
} catch(IOException) {
    ioe.printStackTrace();
    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Could Not Open File Location: " + file.getAbsolutePath());
}The code works as expected, but my problem is that I am loosing cross-platform functionality.
Can any point my to solution to this Desktop.open( ) problem, or probably add the my list platform dependent launch procedures so at least the code works on Windows,Linux and Mac.
ICE

Thanks Andrew,
I've do a more simple example of the problem. I create two files on "\\fiuu\proyectosShared", one called "test.txt" and the other one called "te st.txt". I execute your exact source for the who paths whith these results:
File f = new File("//fiuu/proyectosShared/test.txt");
System.out.println(f + " exists: " + f.exists());
dt.open(f);
RESULT:
\\fiuu\proyectosShared\test.txt exists: true
(notepads opens the file)The second test does'nt work:
File f = new File("//fiuu/proyectosShared/te st.txt");
System.out.println(f + " exists: " + f.exists());
dt.open(f);
RESULT:
\\fiuu\proyectosShared\te st.txt exists: true
Exception in thread "main" java.io.IOException: Failed to open file:////fiuu/proyectosShared/te%20st.txt. Error message: El sistema no puede hallar la ruta especificada.

(translation of error message: System can't find specified path)I've also done some tests with Desktop.browse(file.toURI), and some others with no success.
Something curious: try to execute Runtime.getRuntime().exec("explorer " + f.getAbsolutePath) for a file that has thow white spaces on his name....
File f = new File("//fiuu/proyectosShared/te st.txt");//with two white spaces
System.out.println(f + " exists: " + f.exists());
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("explorer " + f.getAbsolutePath());
\\fiuu\proyectosShared\te st.txt exists: trueSystem says:

Oracle error - Open problem

hi friends,

How can i resove it...

Here's a wild idea.... check the Oracle site/documentation for suggestions ?

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".
Thanks,
Sharmila

How do I keep forms opened on the web - if they close themselves at times

How do I keep forms opened on the web - if they close themselves??

Hi,
When you have completed design your form on design tab, you may open form to filling out and submit. At this time, if you don’t change your form, it will keep the open state. if you change or edit your form, it will showing a warning dialog to let you know form will be changed to closed, and remind you to open it again.

Issue with Custom Form opening in Oracle apps

Hello,
I am not sure if this is correct place for this question.
Hi,
I have created a custom form and tested in forms 6i. I have moved the fmb and fmx files from my local machine to unix box and registered the form in oracle apps (11.5.10).
However, when I open the form from oracle apps, form opens OK but some of the field in form are blacked out-I am able to see the field but its black in color. When I type in field and highlight it with my mouse, the value I typed shows up.
What can be issue here?
I moved both fmb and fmx from my local machine to UNIX box.
Please help...

NV,
Have you resolved your issue? I've run into this before. I failed to subclass all of my objects properly from the APPSTAND.fmb in accordance with the [Oracle Applications Developers Guide | http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25516_18/current/acrobat/115devg.pdf]. If you have your items subclassed correctly, double check to make sure your Forms Builder is using the correct color pallet.
Hope this helps.
Craig...
If mine or someone elses response was helpful, please mark it accordingly
