Form should run automatically

i created one form to update the records in my table but the form should run automatically for every month.

Hi *848525*
How about getting yourself a friendlier handle? 848525 does not look very nice, does it?
Always state the Forms Version and DB version when posting queries.
i created one form to update the records in my table but the form should run automatically for every month.Forms, as you must know by now, is an interactive interface.
If you want a job to be run at fixed times and/ or repeat then you should use DBMS_SCHEDULER to schedule a PL/SQL procedure. Forms is not the right thing to use for this.
Cheers,

Transaction should run at a particular time once in a day.

I have a transaction and an Xacute query. I am fetching data from local database, and posting a measuring document in SAP R/3. Right now i have to run the transaction manuallly to post the document.
I want that my transaction should run automatically at a particular time once in a day (at the end of the day), and document should get posted in R/3 at the end of the day.
Can you help me out, how to go ahead for the same.

Ashish,
In SAP MII Menu, In Left side Navigation,Go to
Business Logic Services---> Schedule Editor. In that window,select the transction you want to run and select the time pattern how fequently you want to run the transaction.
For more details : http://help.sap.com/saphelp_xmii120/helpdata/en/index.htm (for MII 12.0)
In above link select the System Mangement--> Shedule Editor.

JOB in Sql Server Agent should run multiple times.

Hi Guys,
I have a ETL SSIS job in Sql Server Agent, Which should run multiple times.
1. For Example : I scheduled a job at 10:00 PM, If the job fails at 10:00 PM it should run automatically again at 10:10 PM, if the job fails again at 10:10 PM then the job should run at 10:40 PM.
If the job gets success at first attempt i.e 10:00 PM, then it should not run at 10:10 PM.
Note : The time difference between jobs is 10 minutes and 30 minutes. And i know that we can run the job at regular intervals.
Thanks in advance

Just add retry attempts to whatever number you want (2 as per your original explanation) in Job step properties as below
Have a logic to include a delay of 10 mins . You can make use of WAITFOR function for that

Icons are not visible when the form is run

I develop a form with only a push button. I developed form using oracle 10DS. I have saved my form in application server. To see an icon in my button, i did the following things:
1. In application server i made a jar named test.jar. It consists of just two gif images.
2. I copied this jar in application server's \forms90\java directory
3. I configured formsweb.cfg file as the following.
4. my \form90\java\oracle\forms\registry\registry.dat is as the following.
whenever i run form i can not see icon but in client's oracle jar cache jar is downloaded.

I tried many times. But could not be successful. Then I just kept my icons in
\forms90\java directory without making jar. In my form, icon file name is the icon name without extension. Here, i can see my icon in button. but if i replace an icon
without changing the name of the icon, then i always see the old icon. The new icon, i can not see.
Please, help me with only Oracle 10g AS how i can see icon in button. Let's assume, there is not oracle 10g DS (any development tool) in the machine where the form is run.
Please, guide me clearly step by step so that i might be successful.
Thanks.
TKARIM

Thanks Bernard,
It works fine with JInitiator but not working with
the JPI. For JPI what settings I need to do ??hi TKARIM and Bernard, i am having similar problem even with the Bernard's recommended setup. could you post the webutiljini.htm (i presume you are using config=test) ?
i am actually using jinitiator 1.3.1.28 with Oracle HTTP Server of OAS 10gR2) calling Forms Server 6i (f60cgi). After setting up according to Bernard's recommended setup steps, the java console showed that it loaded the icon jar file when it could not read the form, but it skipped the loading of the icon jar file once it read and started the form. How do we specify in the form to pick up the icon from the jar file instead from a directory ? Or do we need to specify ? Any ideas ?
Thx and Regards

In Oracle Forms, to run all the When-Validate-Item of all the items at once

In Oracle Forms, is there any built-in / procedure / function which is used to run all the When-Validate-Item triggers of all the Items at once ?
I will put it in detail :
When a form is run and while entering the data..
when we enter some data and try to move out of that item then the When-Validate-Item trigger of that item is fired and the code in that trigger is executed..
Similarly there may be many items and many When-Validate-Item triggers correspondigly in a form..
My requirement is to run all the When-Validate-Item triggers of a form at once when we click a button which is created for that purpose only..
So is there any built-in / procedure / function (to run all the When-Validate-Item triggers of all the items), which can be called in the When-Button-Pressed trigger of that particular button..
If any one having any solution/suggestion, please let me know..
Thanks..

Hi Sandy,
Thanks for your suggestion..
The validations should be done at Item level (When-Validate-Item as usually) and seperately again when a button is pressed.
So to put all the code in another block-level When-Validate-Item trigger or in any When-Button-Pressed trigger will be duplication of the code.
Actually I have around 30 Fmbs to be modified and each Fmb is having around 20 Items and almost all Items are having When-Validate-Item trigger.
So,I wanted to know whether there is any Built-in / Procedure in Oracle Forms which runs all the When-Validate-Item triggers once it is called.
Thanks..

Reducing size of forms to run at web...please participate

hey.
forms should be smaller in size to open quickly at web. which thing in form increases the size more as compared to anyother thing. i discovered that if you comment out your uncessary code in your proceadures and triggers it reduces the size of the form.I surprised why it reduces the size of the form while i didnot remove this comment out code from the form.
/* declare
end
anyway what are the other ways to reduce the size of forms.
Regards
Rehman

but my concern is the time consumed to open the form in browser after putting STATIC IP in address bar.The time it takes the browser to start the initial form in Web Forms always takes a long time. I bet if you run a test with the simplest and smallest form possible, you would find the initial startup is still almost the same as your production forms.
In fact, why don't you make a simple form that you start from the browser, and on it, put a pushbutton that starts your actual production form using a New_Form command. It will take a very long time to start up the simple form. But once you click the pushbutton, your production form will start almost instantly.
There is a lot of process initialization going on between the browser and the java processing required to run the form. I believe it is the java stuff that takes a long time, because any time I run any other (non-Forms) process on my platform that uses java, it also seems to take forever to get started.
I am starting to think the java world is a lot of hype and creates far more problems than it solves.

Open second form at run-time (and transfer variables)

Hi,
i'm searching for a method to open a second (maybe attached) form from an existing form at run-time.
The goal would be to have a button in a form which runs a function as click event that opens the second form and transfer field values from the existing form to the new opened form.
To new form should opened in a separate Adobe Reader window because the user should have the possibility to save or print the both forms separately.

Report is run automatically before submit process

Hi,
I am navigating from logon page to my 1 page where I have my search criteria for my report. Unfortunately the query is run automatically. It should wait till I will fill in my criteria and then press submit button to see the results.
Could you please tell me what shoudl be done to don't trigger my report when navigating from logon to 1 page?
Regards,
Beny

Here you have my query:
select transaction_id AS "Transaction ID",
to_char(insert_tms,'DD-MM-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') AS "Insert Date/Time",
to_char(start_tms,'DD-MM-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') AS "Start Date/Time",
to_char(end_tms,'DD-MM-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') AS "End Date/Time"
from table(trans_rep_sql2tab(:P5_DB_SCHEMA,:P1_OWNER_NM,:P1_TABLE_NM,:P1_TRANS, to_date(:P1_START_TMS,'DD-MM-YYYY HH24:MI:SS'), to_date(:P1_END_TMS,'DD-MM-YYYY HH24:MI:SS')));
All parameters coming from 1 region that contains search criteria.
I understood that I can put in DISPLAY CONDITION if not null :P1_TRANS, but then if I won't put any value into this textbox I will never see my region 2 and no results from my query that can get rows even if textbox 1 is empty?

Will scripts run automatically ?

If I shut down my Mac everynight(I live in a time zone 6 hours ahead of Eastern US time), will the scripts run automatically when I start it up the next morning...or...do I need a special utility application for this ?

these scripts are not worth worrying about. you should just leave them alone. the OS does a very good job of running them all by itself. and they are all quite useless anyway. many people (apparently yourself included) seem to think that these periodic scripts are important maintenance tools and will make your system run better and faster. nothing can be further from the truth.
*monthly scripts* :
1. archive and recycle fax logs. have you used your mac as a fax machine lately?
2. write accounting information (total uptime of every account) in the monthly.out log.
That's IT. so unless you use your mac as a fax machine (do you, really?) you don't need to run monthly scripts. EVER.
*weekly scripts*:
in snow leopard they do one thing ONLY: rebuild whois database. it's only useful if you are a unix user and actually use the whois terminal command at least on occasion. I'll bet my bottom dollar you never have and never will. then you don't need to run the weekly scripts either. EVER.
*daily scripts*
they do several things
1. clean up the logs from /Library/Logs/CrashReporter which are more than 60 days old. hardly an urgent task. and those logs are really very few unless your system is seriously messed up. you can go a year without deleting any and will collect a few MBs at the most.
2. delete junk from /tmp directory that's more than 3 days old.
This is done automatically on every reboot without any periodic scripts. if you don't reboot the computer then daily scripts will run *no matter* the schedule. if you don't sleep the computer at night they'll run at night. if you do sleep the computer at night they will run first thing in the morning when the computer is turned on. again, zero need to reschedule anything.
3. deletes files older than 7 days from /var/rwho. this is only relevant if you are running a unix network. otherwise there is nothing to delete - EVER.
4. rotate accounting files. again, those are nonexistent unless you are a unix administrator.
5. run the terminal command *df -l -h* and print out the output to daily.out. all this command does is list currently mounted hard drives. useless.
6.print the current network status in daily.out. this is again just reporting not maintenance.
7. Delete system messages. Once again this is relevant only for multi-user Unix systems.
8. remove scratch fax files. see my comment above about using your mac as a fax machine.
9. it writes some other accounting and system status info to daily.out. this is again only reporting and is ONLY actually present on unix networks.
and that's all, folks.

Form when running through menu

Hi
I have a form - and when I run it from forms, it runs with the a toolbar up the top with icons for save, delete record etc. However when I run it through a menu (.mmb), it doesn't have this toolbar at the top. How do I make it show this toolbar when running from a menu?
Thanks
Martin

Sorry, I didn't see your reply before.
I think the problem could be that you specify No_Replace. This means that [Oracle Forms will keep the default menu module of the calling form active for the called form|http://www.oracle.com/webapps/online-help/forms/10g/topics/f1_help/builta_c/callform.html?tp=true].
You should look into using the FORMS_PATH variable instead of using the full path to the form, it's not essential but it's more flexible. On earlier versions this is FORMS90_PATH, FORMS60_PATH etc, and is set in the .ENV file (assuming you're on webforms).

Forms 6i and Forms 9i Running at the same time

I was wondering if it is possible to run the Forms 6i developer suite and the Forms 9i developers suite at the same time and database environment.

Oracle9iAS Release 2 = Oracle9i Forms and you can only run 9i Forms in this stack.
Oracle9iAS Release 1 - Oracle Forms6i and you can only run 6i Forms on this stack.
You should "mix and match" version of Forms. You should run the version of Forms on the same platform version.
Of course, you can upgrade your 6i Forms to 9i which means they will now only run on Oracle9iAS Release 2.
I know its a little bit confusing but we are slowly getting all our release numbers aligned to make it easier for you.

Every I shutdown or restart my Mac the windows service is doesn't runn & I should starting it manually.
How to configure this services in order running automatically?

I have the same problem. My PPC Xserve is running 10.4.7 and is configured as OD master and PDC. The Windows Service start manually in the Service Admin and changes /etc/hostconfig to set "SMBSERVER=-YES-", but doesn't restart automatically on reboot.
I found one workaround. There are two launchd items in /System/Library/LaunchDaemons: smbd.plist and nmbd.plist. You can enable them by:
cd /System/Library/LaunchDaemons
sudo launchctl load -w smbd.plist
sudo launchctl load -w nmbd.plist
and on restart, Windows file sharing will start automatically. The downside is that it will still be grayed out in the Service Admin.
PPC Xserve Mac OS X (10.4.7)

How could the wireless ethernet card running automatic when system reboot?

I have already setup the wireless networking card correctly which name is wpi0,but every time when I use it to link to internet,
I had to key the instuction like this :
ifconfig wpi0 plumb
ifconfig wpi0 up
ifconfig wpi0 dhcp
and then input:
wificonfig -i wpi0 connect mywifi
comment: mywifi is the profile file of connection to my wireless router
I had set it with the instruction before like thisi
wificonfig createprofile mywifi essid=2WIRE678 encryption=wep wepkey1=1234567890
anybody can help me group up the command line and has it running automatic when system reboot
it seems the wireless card always need manual connect to router, that 's trouble.

It should connect on it's own. Which version of Solaris are you using?
If worse comes to worse just drop all of your commands into a simple script and then run that script as part of your .profile or equivalent.

Should I automatically add 'x86_64' to my PKGBUILDs?

Hi,
i got a question: Should i automatically add x86_64 to my PKGBUILDs or not? I'm only running 32bit.
My default behaviour always was to not add it and wait until somebody sends me a comment like "hi, it's running fine on x86_64, please add..." or "hi, you need to blablabla to get this running on x86_64" and then i would normally drop the package with a comment that i'm unable to maintain 64bit packages.
Now, recently i got a comment for one of my packages like "hi, fix your shit, x86_64 is so common these day".
So what's your opinion/Is there a default policy that i've overlooked? Should i stick to my old behaviour not adding x86_64 by default at the risk of annoying users and making things more complicated (comment ping-pong) or should i just add it and assume it'll be okay? Is there any guide/article which mentions potential problems with building 64bit packages, so that i can asses if there might occur problems or not?

@Masuto
I am one of the people who asked you to add x86_64 to pkgbuilds, more specifically - petri-foo && ebumeter - which both compile fine and work on x86_64. Which is exactly the reason i asked you to add x86_64. ie: i use both of those packages, almost daily on my 64bit system and didn't ask you to add x86_64 without first making sure they worked okay. Also, even if their was a (later) problem of x86_64 version not compiling - the problem would be reported upstream to the developer, as a problem like that should be reported upstream, rather than expecting the packager to have to fix the developers the code.
I'd also like to point something out here; I did not make any demands, nor did i say this;

Now here is actually what i said;

Note that many packages may need a line added to their PKGBUILD
such as arch=('x86_64').
64bit CPUs are pretty much standard these days, so you should have x86_64 specified in there.

I see a big difference in your interpretation of what i said vs. what was actually said;
I politely asked you to fix your pkgbuild and 'cheerz' also indicates a salute / thanks / gratitude / appreciation...
Maybe i am wrong to assume you 'should' have x86_64, using the reasoning that 64bit CPUs dominate the market and are quite common place ~ but when both packages are working fine for 64bit and only require adding x86_64 to the arch=() in order for x86_64 users to use them - i can't imagine any reason to not add them.
do we really need to have separate x86_64 pkgbuilds/AUR for either of those packages?
food for thought.
