Form-submitting database

Hello all!
I'm in need of a simple form-submitting system, and I was wondering whether it could be done using Pages.
This is what I need it to do:
It's a school, where I need teachers to submit a report for each class they teach, about how the class went.
I'm gonna have a server, where the main database will be kept.
So each teacher will have an iPad, and on their iPad they will open a form, that I will design, and fill it out.
Once they press submit, the form goes up to the server.
In the server, I need a control app where I can search by teacher, by student, date etc.
Anyone know of a good way to do this?
Maybe Pages can handle it, or maybe there's another app I can get?
Even knowing what terms to search on google would help a lot.
Thanks in advance!

All,
It appears that the page Javascript maximum limit size was reached. The error stopped appearing after some of the page Javascript code was removed out to Application Static Files. I wonder if there exists any "direct" indicator by the system whenever the size limit has been reached?
Again, the run error only occurred when the page was loaded in "Debug" mode.

How to increase count in a text increases on each new form submitted?

Hi All,
I have a field in infopath form as 'RefNo', whenever new form submitted, it count should increase. How to achieve this scenario?
Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure if you can do this to display on form load, but you could do this on submit and edit form.
Refer to the following posts,

Saving a form in database

Hi all,
I am working on Forms 6i and i want to save the form into the database but i am not able to do it. What cases the problem ??
Is there any method by which i can delete the already saved form in database?
Can anyone also tell me where these forms are stored in the database and in what format??
Thanks
Rohit Taneja

There are scripts for creating the Database tables in %oracle_home$\tools\DBTAB60 directory.
See the Documentation in D2KDBTAB.PDF.
You also have to set your preferences in the Form Builder to offer you the ability to save to the file system or the DB.

Preventing user to click on links once form submitted

Hi All,
Preventing end user to click on any links once he/she submitted the form until he/she received a response from it.
I can use filter or shale techniques for this, but it prevents the multiple form submits but not the links.
(ie, hyperlinks cant control with the above techniques I suppose.)
I also used hourglass technique of Javascript. It will show you the hour glass icon once you submitted the form/page.
Mean while if you mouse over any links on the page (I have other command links on the same page), the hourglass icon showing with hand icon.
<tr:commandButton provides one attribute blocking=true, is not working in this condition.[setting true blocking user input when the action is initiated and will stop when response received from server.]
At least if I provide a progress indicator by using <tr:progressIndicator, well enough to the user as some process is going on so that end user can wait for some time.
I have gone through in detail about it - http://myfaces.apache.org/trinidad/trinidad-api/tagdoc/tr_progressIndicator.html
Please provide your inputs, how to implement by using <tr:progressIndicator for my <tr:commandButton.
Or any other fruitful solution for this?
Thanks in advance :-)

No idea about the Trinidad component library, but you can also use CSS/JS/DHTML to "freeze" the window during the onsubmit. Add a transparent iframe overlay which covers the whole screen and turn it on during the onsubmit.
E.g.
<body>
    <iframe id="freeze" frameborder="0" border="0"></iframe>
    <h:form onsubmit="freeze();">
iframe#freeze {
    position: absolute;
    visibility: hidden;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    opacity: 0.0;
    filter: alpha(opacity=0);
function freeze() {
    document.getElementById('freeze').style.visibility = 'visible';
}

How to save a FORM as DATABASE

Hello everyone
I am using forms 9i with Database 9i and 9iAS . I want to save a form as database . In previous version we had the option so save as file or database . We were able to set it under tools- preferences . But in forms 9i I don't find it anywhere we can set save as Database.
Can anyone help me.
Thanks

I think you will need to use a layer in between. For instance with LC, you can make a process that takes in your data and stores it in your database. Your form can submit to that process through SOAP and REST.

Forms 6i Database Tables

Hi there: I have installed Forms 6i Database Tables and I am able to save and retrieve forms to and from the database. Any of you have the catalog of these Forms Tables? Do you the names of the tables storing blocks, canvas, items, etc?
In Forms4.5 it is very easy because I have a table for blocks and for many other items of the form, but it seems to be hidden in forms 6i.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards

I don't think there is any description of the tables other than what you can get from the CREATE TABLE scripts.
PS. Are you sure you still want to go the route of storing the Forms in the database. Be advised that this feature was dropped from later versions. So if you're ever going to upgrade to a later version you will have to extract all of them from the database anyhow.
PS2. If you want to "analyze" the Forms, I personally use the Forms to XML conversion available in Forms 10gR1, 10gR2 (and perhaps 9i). This converts your FMB to a very readable XML file which you can use for analysis. It could be an option to convert the 6i FMB file to XML with a newer version of Oracle Forms. Be sure that the batch file does not save the existing FMB as it would upgrade it to a new file format and you could not open it with Forms 6i any more. Take a backup first.

PHP forms submitted as an attachment rather than email?

How do I get my PHP forms submitted as an attachment rather than email?
Meaning, if I set up a form on my website and someone completes and submits it, how can I get the responses as an attachment rather than in email text?
Much appreciated.

Hi Gunter
I have spent so much time on this now.
I have tried to convert the php to an attached .txt or .csv file.
Learnt a lot but still can not seem to get the form data to be submitted as an attached file.
Here are two of my attempts, please assist:
<?php
$email=$_REQUEST['email'];
$firstName=$_REQUEST['firstName'];
$lastName=$_REQUEST['lastName'];
//The Attachment
$cr = "\n";
$data = "Email" . ',' . "First Name" . ',' . "Last Name" . $cr;
$data .= "$email" . ',' . "$firstName" . ',' . "$lastName" . $cr;
$fp = fopen('reservationTest.csv','a');
fwrite($fp,$data);
fclose($fp);
// Mail to
$email = "myemailaddress";
//subject
$subject = "Test Budget reservation";
//Header
$headers("Content-type: application/octet-stream");
$headers("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=reservationTest.csv");
$headers("Pragma: no-cache");
$headers("Expires: 0");
//Message
$message = "".
"Email: $email" . "\n" .

How to send error message to forms from Database Trigger

Hi, Please help me to send error message to forms from Database Trigger?
RgDs,
Madesh.R.M

You are correct, the On-Error trigger is a Forms trigger. However, if your Form is going to display the error generated by the database stored procedure or trigger - you might not see the database error in your Form unless you check the DBMS_ERROR_CODE in the On-Error trigger and manually display the Error Code and associated Text. I've see this happen with a co-worker. The Form she was working on was based on a table with an Before-Insert trigger. Because she was not explicitely handling the error from the Before-Insert trigger in the Forms On-Error trigger, her Form appeared to halt for no reason at all. Once she added code to the On-Error trigger in the Form to handle the DBMS_ERROR_CODE, she discovered the trigger was producing an error and was able to show the error to the user in the On-Error trigger.
I understand the desire to keep as much as possbile in the database, but with that comes some extra coding in your Forms to handle this. This extra coding could easily be placed in a Forms Library, attached to a Form and called in the On-Error trigger. Your code could look like this:
DECLARE
   /*This example assumes you have an Alert defined
      in your Form called: 'ERROR' */
   al_id    ALERT;
   al_text VARCHAR2(200); /* Max text of a Forms Alert message*/
   al_btn   NUMBER;
BEGIN
IF DBMS_ERROR_CODE != 0 THEN
   /* Error code is ORA-00000 Normal Successful completion
       So only handle non-zero errors */
   al_text := DBMS_ERROR_CODE||':'||DBMS_ERROR_TEXT;
   al_id := Find_Alert('ERROR');
   set_alert_property(al_id, alert_message_text, al_text);
   al_btn := show_alert(al_id);
END IF;
END;Your original question was "How to send error message to forms from Database Trigger?" The answer is you don't because Forms already gets the database error code and database message through the Forms DBMS_ERROR_CODE and DBMS_ERROR_TEXT functions. Look these up in the Forms help and it should clear things up for you.

How to connect 10G forms & 10G Database

I had install 10g Forms & Database, but when i m trying to connect forms to database that time i m getting error i.e.

PDF Not Displayed After Parameter Form Submitted

We are moving a Forms6i application to web deployed Forms10g. Reports with parameter forms are being called using web.show_document(...) with the oracle.reports.utility.FrmReportsInteg JavaBean to hide database login credentials, as described in the Forms/Reports integration white papers.
On our development server this process works as expected: the form displays a new browser window containing the parameter form with URL http://server/reports/rwservlet?userid=&report=report&desformat=pdf&destype=cache&paramform=yes, the parameter form is submitted, and the report output is displayed as a PDF embedded in the new browser window.
However, on our customer's test server, after the parameter form is submitted, the Oracle Reports OracleAS Reports Services - Servlet Command Help page is displayed. Executing the rwservlet/showjobs command shows the job as being successfully completed. Clicking on the Job Name link redisplays the parameter form, and submitting this returns to the Oracle Reports OracleAS Reports Services - Servlet Command Help page.
I have not been able to trace any other posts describing the same behavior on Metalink or OTN. Has anyone else seen this?
Development server is OracleAS 10g (9.0.4.1) on Red Hat Linux, customer server is OracleAS 10g (9.0.4.1) on Solaris.
Anyone explain this difference between the two servers?

wonder if your problem is the host.domain name?
It has to be the same name as the "host:" name that was entered in the "Register with Oracle Internet Directory" screen - while installing AS. Reason is that: when the .html is running, it has no connections to the AS, OID, SSO or anything else - it runs independentally. For it to go back into the oracle 'system', the full host.domain name is needed. So, if when the AS was installed, the "fully qualifed" domain name was not given, you may have problems and could need to reinstall AS again. (speaking from sad experience :) )

Form submitted via Email

Hi,
I am using a MS SQL database and ASP. I have a client that
wants to send out an email to potential auction donors and have the
form to donate an auction item right in the email (so not a link,
but the actual form) and then they want the donors to fill out the
form and have it get submitted to the database as well as email
them confirmation. I can do this all from the web site, but I have
no idea how to do it from an actual email.
Can this be done? And if so, how??
Thanks in advance!
Julie

You will probably find, due to nature of various email
clients, that this is
not viable. Best to provide a link to a web page.

How to avoid form submitting ?

All,
I have a form that gets submitted when I press a button, and I need to prevent the submitting of the data on the database, which in our case is an update of the record.
In the bean I want to get the user inputs, so I need the submitted values of each field, but I don't want the update of the table record.
How can I do this ? Is there any method I can override in the object implementation of the view object, in order to cancel the table update ?
Any help is appreciated,
Sergio.

Hi,
Not enough information anyway if you no need to submitting data to Database do not commit for submit action or can use ADF Subform
See
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/learnmore/40-ppr-subform-169182.pdfHope helpful above link your "I have a form that gets submitted when I press a button, and I need to prevent the submitting of the data on the database, which in our case is an update of the record." scenario

Form submits

I have following jsp page in struts. if you see, this page has four editable textfields and one submit button. when i edit four textfiled values and then try to press submit, I want to submit these four textfiled values to a stored procedure which updates the fields in database and then re-display this same jsp page, with those textfield values re-displayed. I do have a Form class which has get/set methods for these textfield values. i also have a Action class. I want to know how this whole submit thing works. which code gets invoked when.
problem: No values get submitted after submit button is pressed.
Same jsp page is not redisplayed.

You didn't assign a name attribute your input field (< input type="text" name="myField" ...> ! The fields are submitted as request parameters in the form {$name}={$value}.
It might help to read about ActionForms and replace the whole input html tags with html:text tags from struts.
I'd recommend the articles on:

(Both are articles in a series don't forget to look at the other parts, too)

Form Submits twice with IE

Hi, my problem is that my form is submitted twice when using IE 7, but only once on firefox as desired. The steps my jsp app takes are:
1. submit details
2. validate details
3. submit details to database
4. faces-config navigates to appropriate download page and starts download
The second submit happens when the user clicks on the IE warning bar that allows the download. I'm using <h:commandButton id="submit" value="Submit" action="#{userInfoBean.submit}" />
All help is appreciated.

I have the smae issue!!
