Form refusing minimize

Hello,
Since we migrated from 6i->10g we have noticed a strange issue with one of our forms (launched from a popup window). When you try to minimize it, it does so but immideately returns to its original size. Only on the second try it succeeds. Are there any focus related issues that could veto a form minimize?

Sounds like bug 3191328 (or 3018714)
Look up patch #3150677
We already applied patch 3191328 which seemed related
There is a discussion on the OTN Forms forum:Aah, the issue seems to be famous. I'll try fork our forms/libraries and picking apart them and try to produce a minimal test case (involves navigation within three windows)

Forms Refuse to Open then Freeze in Online Interface

I was making a few forms today and after I would complete them and save them it and click back to the main screen it would freeze when I tried to open them again. All of my old forms open fine and I can copy them and make a form with them but after I save it it still freezes on me after the loading wheel disapears.
I've tried to solve this issue through your Chat but the guy is reading solutions from a list and really doesn't know what he is doing.
Thanks for the help in advance.

FRM-41214 when calling a report from a form in DS1012

This is weird. I have a report that contains a lexical parameter that is intended to add an "AND" clause to the WHERE so I can use the same report to do an unrestricted query or a restricted query.
To do an unrestricted query, this works fine:
ls_param := 'and_clause='||''||' paramform=no';
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_OTHER,ls_param);
v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid);
etc. according to all the notes on the matter. The report runs and brings back all rows because the "AND" part of the WHERE is null,
But as soon as I attempt to modify the ls_param variable, the form refuses to run. I am not mis-using the single quotes. I have all the quotes in variables as in:
ls_and_clause := chr(32)||' AND id IN (';
to set the first part of the clause, followed by:
FOR id_rec in id_list LOOP
ls_and_clause := ls_and_clause ||QT||id_rec.id||QT||',';
END LOOP;
where id_list is a cursor that brings back a list of IDs qualified per user, and QT is a variable that holds chr(39).
I have read the notes on being careful not to pass spaces, so everything is concatenated into a single variable that gets passed on the final
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_OTHER,ls_param);
where ls_param includes something like "and_clause = 'AND id in ('901','902') paramform=no"
Seems to me, this should work. Does anyone else have any insight on doing this kind of thing?

Thanks for the toubleshooting tip. It helped me find the problem. For some reason when the AND clause included the table name, the report would not run. But when the AND clause does not include the table name, the report works:
AND table.col IN ('101','102') fails, but
AND col IN ('101','102') works.
Go figure. I just hope I never have to do this when the table name is required to remove ambiguity.

Need to batch compile 6i forms in 9i

I have a batch program that will compile libraries, menus & forms but I need to have it also report programs that would not compile and I need to have the output in 1 file. We have over 500 forms so I do not want to be opening every .err file that gets created. This is on windows 2000 so the following is what I have in a batch file called compile.bat:
@echo off
if "%1" == "" goto ERROR
REM WINDOWS COMPILE LIBRARIES
cls
echo compiling Libraries.....
for /R %%F in (*.pll) do call ifcmp90 userid=%1 batch=yes module=%%F module_type=library window_state=minimize
echo Finished compiling Libraries!
REM WINDOWS COMPILE MENUS
echo compiling Menus.....
for /R %%F in (*.mmb) do call ifcmp90 userid=%1 batch=yes module=%%F module_type=menu window_state=minimize
echo Finished compiling Menus!
REM WINDOWS COMPILE FORMS
echo compiling Forms.....
for /R %%F in (*.fmb) do call ifcmp90 userid=%1 batch=yes module=%%F module_type=form window_state=minimize
echo Finished compiling Forms!
goto EXIT
:ERROR
echo Userid/password MUST be supplied!
pause

Can someone help me please? I've been going crazy! Thanks in advance.

Problem Referencing a Package in an 11g DB From Forms 6i

Hello everybody,
I have recently updated a database from 8i to 11g. This DB is used alongside with a program that it has been created with Forms-Reports Developer 6i. Even though the overall performance and usage of the program seems intact I came upon a problem that I cannot solve.
In a form there is a reference to a package of the database that doesn't work anymore. For example something like PackageName.ProcedureName(Parameter1,Parameter2) gives the following error:
"PDE-PSD001 Could not resolve reference to <Unknown Program Unit> while loading Procedure Body [..]"
I have checked the name and spelling of the package in my Db and in the form call but that didn't seem to work. The package compiles inside the DB and has no problem but the form refuses to reference it. When I connect to the old 8i DB it works fine. I have tried recreating the package in 11g from scratch but with no success.
Any ideas?Any help would me much appreciated...
Thank you in advance

I hope yours is not a production environment (yet).... did you check MOS doc ID 207303.1 Client / Server / Interoperability Support Between Different Oracle Versions before upgrading your database ?
Forms 6i is an 8.0.6 version, which has never been supported for 11g database. Which, as always, doesn't mean it won't ever work, it may work 99% of the cases, then you run into a situation like yours......

Late Binding Error on CreateGraphics in DLL

I have a DLL that is a very basic image management library. To draw graphics I am using the following subroutine:
Public Sub DrawImage(ByVal Surface As Object, ByVal Name As String, ByVal Position As Point, Optional Size As Point = Nothing)
Try
If Images.ContainsKey(Name) Then
Dim g As Graphics = Surface.CreateGraphics
If Size.IsEmpty Then
g.DrawImage(Images(Name), Position)
Else
g.DrawImage(Images(Name), New Rectangle(Position.X, Position.Y, Size.X, Size.Y))
End If
End If
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.ToString)
End Try
End Sub
Object passed as the surface is a PictureBox on the main form so that the image is drawn in the PictureBox. It all works perfectly except when I try to use Option Strict On (which is my preference) in the DLL. When I do this the Surface.CreateGraphics
line gives me a late binding error. I am very new to coding and have not been able to figure out a solution. When similar errors have occurred I have been able to use DirectCast() to remove the error. For my current situation I do not know
how to apply the cast, if it is even possible. Any help or suggestions?

Hi,
You should be doing this one of two ways. One is to declare Surface as a Graphics type in the sub like below. This is the way i would recommend doing it.
You will also notice that the last parameter is not Optional any more and is renamed to something other than Size and is changed to a Size Type. The name Size is the name of the Drawing Size structure so you need to use a different name. Also because
an Optional parameter is not able to use a Structure type which Size is, it can`t be Optional.
You will also notice i changed the name of your sub to DrawMyImage. You really need to choose names that are not used for Classes, properties, and methods already. The DrawImage name is already used by the Graphics class.
    Public Sub DrawMyImage(ByVal Surface As Graphics, ByVal Name As String, ByVal Position As Point, ByVal DrawSize As Size)
        Try
            If Images.ContainsKey(Name) Then
                'Dim g As Graphics = Surface.CreateGraphics
                If Size.IsEmpty Then
                    Surface.DrawImage(Images(Name), Position)
                Else
                    Surface.DrawImage(Images(Name), New Rectangle(Position.X, Position.Y, DrawSize.Width, DrawSize.Height))
                End If
            End If
        Catch ex As Exception
            MsgBox(ex.ToString)
        End Try
    End Sub
Then call your Function from within the PictureBox`s Paint event in the Form like this
Public Class Form1
Private DrawingClass As New NameOfYourClass
Private Sub PictureBox1_Paint(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs) Handles PictureBox1.Paint
Dim SomeLocation As New Point(10, 10)
Dim SomeSize As New Size(100, 90)
DrawingClass.DrawMyImage(e.Graphics, "Some Image Name", SomeLocation, SomeSize)
End Sub
End Class
The other way would be to make the Surface parameter a PictureBox type and pass the PictureBox to the sub. I would also recommend not using the CreateGraphics method. If you really must do it like this then at least creat the graphics
in a Using End Using block. A Graphics Object needs to be Disposed when you are done using it and this will take care of that for you.
Public Sub DrawMyImage(ByVal Surface As PictureBox, ByVal Name As String, ByVal Position As Point, ByVal DrawSize As Size)
Try
If Images.ContainsKey(Name) Then
Using g As Graphics = Graphics.FromHwnd(Surface.Handle)
If Size.IsEmpty Then
g.DrawImage(Images(Name), Position)
Else
g.DrawImage(Images(Name), New Rectangle(Position.X, Position.Y, DrawSize.Width, DrawSize.Height))
End If
End Using
End If
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.ToString)
End Try
End Sub
Then you can call your sub from other places in the form than the Paint event like this. However, this will not be persistent doing it like this. Meaning if you draw the image and then move the form off the side of the screen, cover it with another form,
or minimize it the image will be erased and not be redrawn again until you call the sub again.
Public Class Form1
Private DrawingClass As New NameOfYourClass
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim SomeLocation As New Point(10, 10)
Dim SomeSize As New Size(100, 90)
DrawingClass.DrawImage(PictureBox1, "Some Image Name", SomeLocation, SomeSize)
End Sub
End Class
If you say it can`t be done then i`ll try it

Problems registering iPhone G3 in the UK?

Just picked up my lovely new iPhone plugged into iTunes and tried to register. But the form refuses to accept that I live in the UK so does not recognise my zip code or phone no.
Anyone else having this problem? Is registering important?
First iPhone so still stumbling around here.

i had a similar problem this morning with my 3g iphone. i cancelled registering. evrthing else worked fine then. you can always register another time - think the problem may be so many new people registering with apple

Oracle Fusion Middleware 11 - Failover - ORA-03114

We use Oracle Fusion Middleware 11.1.1.4 to run a Oracle Forms based application that connects to an Exadata - Oracle 11g 11.2.0.3 database.
In order to test the failover to Data Guard mechanism, we changed the tnsnames.ora to include the stanza for the data guard and disaster recovery databses.
However after changing the tnsnames.ora entry, the Fusion Forms refused to connect. It gave
FRM-40735: ON-ERROR trigger raised unhandled exception ORA-03114
Present below is the tnsnames.ora entry .
The first one is the unmodified one that works(we can open up Oracle forms app and connect successfully to the database).
The second one is the modified one with the failover phrase that does not work - gives
ORA-03114. However the same entry as a jdbc connection string is working fine.
Works :
clientdb_oltp.world =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = client7-scan1)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVER = DEDICATED)
      (SERVICE_NAME = clientdb_oltp_srvc.world)
Does NOT work:
clientdb_oltp.world =
(DESCRIPTION =
   (LOAD_BALANCE = OFF)
   (FAILOVER = ON)
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = client7-scan1)(PORT = 1521))
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = client3-scan01)(PORT = 1521))
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = client1-scan)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVER = DEDICATED)
      (SERVICE_NAME = clientdb_oltp_srvc.world)
      (FAILOVER_MODE =
        (TYPE = SELECT)
        (METHOD = BASIC))))
JDBC Connection string that works :
jdbc:oracle:thin:@(DESCRIPTION_LIST=(LOAD_BALANCE=off)(FAILOVER=on)(DESCRIPTION= (ADDRESS_LIST= (LOAD_BALANCE=on)(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST= client7-scan1)(PORT=1521)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVER = DEDICATED) (SERVICE_NAME=clientdb_oltp_srvc.world)))(DESCRIPTION= (ADDRESS_LIST= (LOAD_BALANCE=on) (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=client3-scan01)(PORT=1521))) (CONNECT_DATA=(SERVER = DEDICATED) (SERVICE_NAME= clientdb_oltp_srvc.world))) (DESCRIPTION= (ADDRESS_LIST= (LOAD_BALANCE=on) (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=client1-scan)(PORT=1521))) (CONNECT_DATA=(SERVER = DEDICATED) (SERVICE_NAME=clientdb_oltp_srvc.world))))
Could you please advise if there is any reason why Oracle Fusion Middleware will not connect with the tnsnames.ora having the failover stanza ? Does the above entry require any change ?
We have already checked for any TAB or other non-print characters.
Edit : 6/3/2014 I mistakenly gave the Forms Oracle error as ORA-12154. The error faced is "FRM-40735: ON-ERROR trigger raised unhandled exception ORA-03114"
Updated Title and description.
The credentials were validated multiple times. (user id and password is correct)
Message was edited by: skrishnan

Hi Prakash,
The database is up and running. We are able to login to it using sqlplus and other sql tools from different clients(sql client and java based programs).
We believe its either due to Oracle Middleware not supporting the tnsnames.ora entry with the failover stanza , or some quirk with our tnsnames.ora file.
Is there anything you would advise that we try ?
Thank you,
S. Krishnan

How to test issue with accessing tables over a DB link?

Hey all,
Using 3.1.2 on XE, I have a little app. The database schema for this app only contains views to the actual tables, which happen to reside over a database link in a 10.1.0.5.0 DB.
I ran across an issue where a filter I made on a form refused to work (see [this ApEx thread| http://forums.oracle.com/forums/message.jspa?messageID=3178959] ). I verified that the issue only happens when the view points to a table across a DB link by recreating the table in the local DB and pointing the view to it. When I do this, the filter works fine. When I change the view back to use the remote table, it fails. And it only fails in the filter -- every other report and every other tool accessing the remote table via the view works fine.
Anyone know how I can troubleshoot this? For kicks, I also tried using a 10.2.0.3.0 DB for the remote link, but with the same results.
TIA,
Rich

I searched metalink for your issue. This may be a bug in 3.1 which will be fixed in 4.0. Please see Doc ID 740581.1 Database Link Tables Do NoT Show Up In Table Drop Down List In Apex. There is a workaround mentioned in the document.
I'm not sure why I never thought of searching MetaLink, but thanks for the pointer! It doesn't match my circumstances, however. The Bug smells like a view not being queried in the APEX development tool itself -- i.e. the IDE's coding needs changing, not necessarily those apps created with the IDE.
I'm working on getting you access to my hosted app...

Space increase on updates

I updated my Itunes. The space it used before the update was 146.6MB. The size of the update was 86.4MB. After it was finished the total size of Itunes was 146.9. Can someone help me figure out the math on this.

My last Nokia

I tried to contact support but the contact form said that the phone number must have 10 digits before I can send the form.
My phone number is +35850xxxx. Please count the digits. The form refused to work.
There was an e-mail address where to send question: [email protected]
what replies: Remote host said: 550 5.1.1 <[email protected]>... User unknown [RCPT_TO]
Today I used OVI services. First i signed in OVI services. Then I had to sign in separately in OVI store where are no direct links to other service. Back to main menu. Then I had to sign in separately to buy music. I decided that if it is so difficult I don't buy.
Why are Nokia teasing people? When do they learn?
This N8 is certainly my last Nokia phone no matter what they release in future.

Okay no problem. I'm tired of Ovi Store & Sync too. Hope they improve their poor services soon!
