Form Server from IAS

Dear all,
i'm using form server from IAS9i. But when i want to compile my
form using f60gen it's giving error message
frm-91500 : Unable to start/complete the build.
Can i compile my form using f60gen provided by IAS, or I should
install Developer6i software to compile my fmb.
Thanks in advance

On the Web the OLE2 option would still work if your Forms server is on a windows machine with word on it. The files will be created on the server and you can get them to the client with the web.show_document built-in.
If you want to create them on the client machine directly you need a Java bean that will activate the COM interface.

How to Keep the "Start OC4J instance" window or Forms Server always up 24*7

Gurus -
Can you please tell me how could I have the "Start OC4J instance" always up and running in my server. I want the Forms server ( 10g) up and running all the the time. please advice how could I do that. My DB is 11g and using the Oracle Devsuite 10g. Please advice
Gurus - Can you please advice on this. Basically have developed a form and couple of users want to access that but get error " page cannot be displayed" and I figured out the "Start OC4J instance" windows gets closed automatically after some hours.
so I wanted this OC4J instance to run 24*7 ( always) without closing by itself. Please advice how could I do that.
Thanks
Sheik

Thanks a lot Steve,
Just wanted to find out if there is no other work around on this except to have the Oracle App Forms server to install and up and running?
I have 11g DB , so do I have to have 11g Oracle Apps Server or 10g Oracle apps server will be sufficient as the installed Devsuite is in 10g. Please advice
OR
Is there way we can setup this Oracle Apps forms server from the OEM console? or we have to do a seperate install for this Apps server.
Other option I thought, which I am not sure will work out is the creat a scheduled task in windows and have this "Start OC4j Instance" scheduled to run always. Any ideas/commments on this.
Thanks again for your inputs.

Problem with execution of a forms in Intranet (IAS oracle Server)

Hi every body!!!!
I have a serious problem, that i could not resolve for more than a week, it's awfull!!!
my problem is that i have compiled certains forms V6 in IAS oracle server with using the command f60gen, when i call certain of my forms from a menu in intranet, they could not be executed, even if every things is compiled correctly!!!
Just a precision: the forms that i wanted to excute, calls another forms at the end of the trigger "when-New-Form-instance"
another thing: i have released that only the forms that call other forms, that could not be called from my menu, all other simple forms are accessed correctly!!
Can some help me please!!!!!!
thank you so much for your help,
Reda

Thank you for your answer, but i will explain much more my problem:
From my intranet, I have a menu in which a call my forms, and there are two possibilities:
The first: there is a direct call to a Form in this case it is okay.
The second case: there is a call to a Form A that will call a Form B.
in the form A: there are just some initialisations to global variables and at the end there is a call to A form B in the trigger 'when-new-instance'
I deployed theses forms in two machines, it worked in one machine, but didn't work in the second machine, so i compared the configuration of the two machines but i didn't find any difference!
Just a precision: I have deployed Forms version 6, because i have upgraded them from the version 3.5 to 6 and the old versions work fine in the two machines.
Thank you very much for any suggestions

How to issue print command from report/form server to client printer on web

1) We have a client server application which is to be deployed on the web environment. The reports generated in our application are having a destination type as File. These reports are printed after applying some print format (escape sequences) which are passed on to the printer programmatically at runtime while printing.
Now when this application is shifted on to the Application server (Forms server & Reports Server )in web environment ,the report outputs would be generated in the application server as against the client in client server environment as the report server is on the application server.
Now while printing/accessing the report the output file will not be available to the client unless it is pushed on to the client side from the server . I am able to see reports in pdf/html output but in this case layout of my reports gets changed and I dont want to change my layouts or reformat my report layouts.
How do I redirect the report output from the application server on to the client within the D2k context and then execute print commands?
Note: In this case we want to use both DMT and Laser printing. Also note that we use escape sequences to adjust reports in desired printing papers.
2) We have second set of reports which we call as document because these are printed after capturing data from 'Form' using text_io utility (please note that for these documents we are not using any Report 6i functionality)and we print it from file using printing mechanism as mentioned above. These are working well in client server application. We adopted this methodology for getting better performance (in terms of speed as database server and network traffic is not involved) of printing. But now we are converting our application for web, we are finding it difficult how to capture Form's data from browser to client's machine and then executing printing commands which are stored in our application liabrary.
If you help me out by giving some suggestions, I shall be grateful to you.

Hello
I wonder if you ever solved this problem.
I have a very similar problem with Photoshop CS5 on Mac OSX 10.6 + HP Photosmart C7180.
If I choose "Photoshop Manages Colors" the results are lousy.
If I choose "Printer Manages Colors" the results are OK. not necessarily great.
I believe I have all the correct settings after going through books and web advice (and wasted a lot of paper and ink).
As far as I can see, "ColorSync" is the internal Mac management which is the only option available with "Photoshop Manages Colors" and "Vendor Matching" appears to mean the printer vendor (ie HP) will provide the matching. Either can be selected if "Printer Manages Colors" is used. It seems the type of paper can be set in three different places. if That's all a bit academic as the results are poor regardless.
My wife suggests I buy a new printer - Epson's looking good.
Any words of wisdom would be appreciated.

We're porting an existing application to the web and we're having troubles with this configuration:
Windows 2000 sp1
iAS 1022 + forms patch 5 installed in 806 home.
We're having a lot of problems in connecting the application to a DB version 7.3.4.3:
errors like ora-00022 invalid session id,
frm-40655: SQL error forced rollback.
The strange thing is that with this configuration all works fine:
Windows 2000 sp1
apache + forms server + patch 5 installed
same 7.3.4.3 db.
I've noticed that forms server p5 has a lover net8 version than ias p5 could be this the problem?? if so how can i get it to work with ias??
Please help me, I really need to get this to work.Thank's in advance

Well, version 6 of Designer, Forms, Reports, etc, are not supported for use on Win7 and further, were desupported several years ago. If you really want to use this obsolete version on Win7, rather than hacking a solution, I would recommend using WinXP Mode or other virtualization option.

How to Find the Hostname / IP Address of Reports Server From Forms

Hi
We have following query to find out on which machine form server is running,
but how to find hostname/ip address of reports server (if there are more than one reports server running and on different machines).
SELECT SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV','HOST'), SYS_CONTEXT, SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV','IP_ADDRESS')
from dual.
can anybody answer?
rocky rocks.

Our oas name is the same as the box name, and the report server naming convention is rep_(oas name) so that makes it easy to find out.
I have a pll attached to my form that contains the following function, which works for PC or UNIX based app server:
-- get_oas_name - Returns OAS name.
-- caveat: Can't be run from pre-form, when-new-form-instance or when-new-block-instance of first
--          block on the form due to webutil limitation.
FUNCTION get_oas_name RETURN varchar2 IS
fp text_io.file_type;
oas_name varchar2(30);
op_sys varchar2(30) := get_application_property(OPERATING_SYSTEM);
BEGIN
if op_sys = 'WIN32COMMON' then
    oas_name := webutil_clientinfo.get_host_name;
elsif op_sys = 'SunOS' or op_sys = 'UNIX' then
    host('/bin/uname -n > /tmp/oas_name');
    fp := text_io.fopen('/tmp/oas_name','r');
    text_io.get_line(fp, oas_name);
    text_io.fclose(fp);
end if;
return oas_name;
END;Then in when_timer_expired (first place you can use webutil functionality) call it accordingly. I also use it to set platform dependant variables so the form will run
when I'm working on my PC or deployed on UNIX:
declare
:control.op_sys := get_application_property(OPERATING_SYSTEM);
begin
      :control.oas_name := get_oas_name;
      :control.report_server := 'rep_'|| :control.oas_name;
      if :control.op_sys = 'WIN32COMMON' then        -- For running locally during development.
        :control.close_page := 'http://127.0.0.1:8889/forms90/common/window_close.htm';
        :control.rpt_temp := 'c:\temp\';
      elsif :control.op_sys = 'SunOS' or :control.op_sys = 'UNIX' then
        :control.close_page := 'http://'||:control.oas_name||'.yournamehere.com:7779/forms90/common/window_close.htm';
        :control.rpt_temp := '/appl/oas/yournamehere/reports/cache/';
      end if;
end;Good luck,
Gary

How to store and retrieve a PDF form to SQL Server from LiveCycle?

My intention is to save a complete PDF form into a database and then later on retrieve this form from DB.
To do this, SQL Server has got two datatypes, image or Varbinary(max). I am able to store a PDF using "Execute SQL Statement"(I have written an Insert statement). Some value is being written into DB as well.
But when I try to retrieve this record using "Query Single Row"(I store the result to a doc variable), the retrieved PDF is of an unknown type and cannot be opened by Adobe Reader.
I am not sure if my approach is correct. Is it possible to store/retrieve a PDF form to/from a DB through LiveCycle?
If yes, please give me some guidance.

hi
am not sure
but u can use the same concept as storing image in db and retrieve..
create a blob column
parse that pdf and store into that column.
again u retrieve the content and via file io make the same name with pdf extension..

How to connect to SQL Server from Forms 10g?

Hello all,
How do we connect to SQL Server database from Forms 10g?
In Oracle Metalink site they have suggested using Transparent Gateway for SQL Server as a solution.
But is there a way we can connect directly to SQL Server from Forms using an ODBC connection
without installing anything on the database server?
Pls help!
Regards,
Sam

Hello all,
I was able to connect to SQL Server from Oracle using Generic Connectivity (HSODBC).
Transparent gateway was not required.
Followed metalink note 109730.1
So, after I created a dblink to SQL Server, I created a synonym for the dblinked SQL Server table.
When I used the synonym as the table source in Oracle Forms, I got the following error while querying.
"ORA-02070 - ROWID is not supported in this context."
This is because Forms has an invisible ROWID field and when data is fetched from SQL Server table
no Rowid is fetched since SQL Server table doesn't have one.
Is there a way to overcome this issue or do we have populate the block manually using a SQL query ?
Pls suggest.
Regards,
Sam

Running forms 10g from a discoverer ias installation. Is it possible?

Hi, I want to run an application based on forms 10g using an iAS 10.1.2 that is actually been used to run Discoverer. In the iAS directory structure I can't find the "forms" folder or any of the configuration files (formsweb.cfg, default.env, Registry.dat, etc). Anyway, I could find OC4J_BI_Forms, and when I run "opmnctl status" that service is up and running (Alive).
In order to install and run my forms application:
- Do I have to install the "forms server" component to this iAS?, or may I use the current OC4J_BI_Forms to run other forms (and libraries)?
- Or maybe, do I have to install the forms enabled iAS in a different ORACLE_HOME to be able to run my forms?
I guess the version and releases numbers are not completely relevant. All I know about versions is the installed iAS whose release is 10.1.2.
Thanks in advance

You can easily do this using pack & unpack.
Change the machines in the managed servers where SOA is running. Pack the domain with -managed option. Unpack the domain in the new machine. Start the soa server now. It will start using the resources in the new machine.
Eg:
Currently Machine A has Admin Server, One WLS Managed Server & One SOA Server. You want to shift SOA server to machine B. Change the machine of SOA server using Admin Console. Pack the domain in Machine A. It will create a template jar. Copy the jar file to Machine B. Unpack it there.
Make sure, you have same MW_HOME & ORACLE_HOME directory structure in both Machine A & B.
My answers are based on that you are on 11gR1.

Form base PDF served from apache\linux seems to flatten PDF

The same form pdf works fine when served from my old windows server.
I see the pdf when its serverd via linux\apache but the pdf is flattened and I can't fill out the form.
<code>
<cffile action="readbinary" file="#request.leadroot#/leadmanagement.pdf" variable="newpdf">
<cfpdfform source="newpdf" action="populate">
       <cfpdfsubform name="form1" >
            <cfpdfformparam name="action" value="New">
            <cfpdfformparam name="opendate" value="#dateformat(now(),'mm/dd/yyyy')#">
            <cfpdfformparam name="owner" value="#session.username#">
            <cfpdfformparam name="submittercontact" value="#session.userfullname# | #session.useremail# | #session.userphone#">
     </cfpdfsubform>
</cfpdfform>
<cfcontent type="application/pdf"   variable="#newpdf#" reset="yes" >
</code>
Same thing happens if I browse direct to pdf as well.
Do you need to change Apache or add some headers?
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Hi Hamish,

Patching only forms on app-server from 10.1.2.2 to 10.1.2.3 possible?

Hello!
We have an application-server 10gR2 with the full patchset 2 running on an aix-machine for some years now.
This has the forms-server 10.1.2.2 running.
Our forms applications run on the client with JRE (1.5, 1.6) and use webutil without problems.
To support IE8 and Windows7 for our forms-clients we need Forms-Version 10.1.2.3 as stated in the certification-matrix.
As installing the Full Patchset3 on the AIX application-server seems to bee a pain, I would like to know, if it is possible - an supported - to ONLY patch the forms-component on the application-server and leave all other components untouched?
For Patching the app-serv I've found:
Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2) Support Status and Alerts [ID 329361.1]
Note 415222.1 Steps to Maintain Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2)
and Forms Servlet (frmsrv.jar) Not Updated After Patching to 10.1.2.3 [ID 1058514.1]
and there seems to bee an "Forms-Patch Bundle"
and Note 1188127.1 Oracle Forms 10.1.2.3 Bundle Patch Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
and ...
Any ideas or hints, if patching only forms is possible?
BTW: There was no real test-environment set up :-( . So I can only clone the prod-env. And with that I have to change the ip and hostname of the app-serv which is another story...
Thanks for any hints - charly

No, you have to apply the full patch.
As installing the Full Patchset3 on the AIX application-server seems to bee a painThis is not a good reason to avoid applying a patch. This is common in all infrastructures, not just Oracle.

Read and Write Files to user from Forms Server

We are developing an application that requires us to rread and write files to the user system. We are deploying using the developer/forms server and this is not happenning. The text_io package and the d2wkutil operate on the application server system, not the user system. So is there a method to read the file contents into the app and write files out to the user system across the web. Thanks.

developer6 can interact with javabeans. the javabean runs as an applet on the client machine. all you have to do is setup a javabean that read and write to your client machine.
when you test your application, work with java console open so you'll be able to debug your appliacion, if you'll receive java security execption you may need to sign this javabean. look at sun site for info regarding the usage of javakey for signing java classes and jars.
