Form6i - report6i intgration problem

I want to develop a report whose data source is the data queried in the data block of a form at runtime.
when I used the report object in the form, I gave the data block for the target report but the resulting report
take its data from the database table on which the data block is based upon instead of the data in teh data block.
how can I resolve this problem?

you can work against a 10g database.
download the patch 17 (forms 6i) from metalink.oracle.com
try it

Does Form6i/Report6i support Solaris x86?

There is only Form6i and Report6i for SunSparc and no Solaris version for x86.
Have anybody tried to install the Linux version of Form6i or Report6i in a machine running Solaris X86? And what is the key to install it successfully?

I'm sure that Oracle8i server supports Solaris Intel Platform and Oracle9i doesn't support Solaris Intel Platform at this moment as I know.

Mapping problem with XML scheme

Hi All,
I have a scenario which I am trying to send a XML file through SFTP (Advanco) to a Z RFC.
I created the message mapping, but I am dealing with a issue that I would like to see if it already happened with someone else and which is the best way to solve it.
In the message mapping - test tab - source view we can find this xml tag regarding the messagetype (see that my MT is called ROOT)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:ROOT xmlns:ns0="http://www.post.ch/schemas/dfu/2006/20/Report6">
the problem is, when I am testing the interface the original file comes like this below
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ROOT xmlns="http://www.post.ch/schemas/dfu/2006/20/Report6">
without ns0:
And if I test in message mapping without ns0: I have the problem.
Shouldnt it be equivalent ? I mean, as far as I know the ns0: shouldnt be a problem
Does someone have any suggestion regarding my issue above ?
Thank you
Regards
Diego

Shouldnt it be equivalent ? I mean, as far as I know the ns0: shouldnt be a problem
when you have a namespace in the message then you need to associate it with some prefix....since ns0 (or any other prefix) is not present you are getting the error....having the namespace but not ns0 is the problem.
XMLAnonymizer bean may help you to add the namespace prefix...

Get directory name problem

hi all
i use developer6i ,client/server mode,win2000
i want to get directory name of my fmx files,
for example if my fmx files are in this locatin ---> d:\xxx
i want to get this path in runtime .
is there any solution in form6i for my problem?
if you have any idea or an example code for this problem
please help me.
i 'd really appreciate it .

I am a bit curious why you need to do it. Do you want it for use in CALL_FORM, NEW_FORM, OPEN_FORM etc. If so, your application would be more portable if you omit the path altogether and rely on the configuration of the runtime environment to provide it.

Identifing which session is blocking which session

Dear All,
We are having 500 user we don't have Database administrator.
All of us are Form6i/Report6i developers.
We do basic DBA activities liking creation of user, taking backup etc.
Recently we have started facing follwoing problem:
1) Our HR department uses 5-10 different types of report.
Other departments uses 1-5 types of reports.
HR & Other department even though refering to different reports are using some common tables which are used in HR as wel as Other department's report.
Report of HR gets hanged.
What we observe in "Enterprise Manager Console" in session that there are non HR user which are also running report.
The information we see is "Memory Usage","I/O reads","CPU time","Session","User" and so on. We just see who is using maximum memory or CPU time or I/O reads and on basis of that we kill the user (which may be inappropriate)
What we are enable to understand is at that point of time which user SQL is blocking which user.
e.g: user "PKP0001" session is inactive and he calls us and tells my report is hanged. We want to identify which user if we kill will allow "PKP0001" user's report to get executed.
2) User executes there report and get the result on the screen. User gets what he wants but when we see in Enterprise Manager Console" in session even though his task is complete it shows status as inactive with his high "I/O reads","Memory", "CPU" time. so we have to identify and call that user confirm whether he is running any form or report if not then kill his session or ask him to close the application.
In this case how would we identify without asking the user whether he doing something or not.
Any mehtod we need to implement in our form6i and report 6i which will take care of that.
Kindly suggest as soon as possible.
Thanking You in anticipation.
Devendra .

Devendra,
It is fairly easy to determine which session is blocking another session. Take a look at the SQL statements in this thread (the SQL statements are not well explained, but the output might be understandable):
enq TX locked row
The first, which queries V$SESSION_WAIT and V$SESSION, shows the wait event (on 10g and above, provides a better clue as to the reason session is waiting), the number of seconds waiting, SQL_ADDR and SQL_HASH_VALUE (may be used to find the SQL statement the session submitted), and details potentially describing the object being waited on, the specific absolute data file number, the block number, and the row within the block (DBMS_ROWID.ROWID_CREATE may be used to generate a ROWID to use to query the table in order to determine the actual contents of the row being waited on). The definition of P1, P2, and P3 vary by the type of wait event. In this case, lock mode and lock type for the waiting session may be derived from the P1 value.
The second, which queries V$LOCK and V$SESSION, shows the two sessions involved in the lock. SID 150, in all cases is blocking SID 143 (as indicated by the BLOCK column). The other columns returned may be used to determine the SQL statements executed by each session (the SQL statement should have retrieved SQL_ADDR also on 10g and above), and the type of locks involved by both sessions.
Other examples:

Oracle 8i (8.1.6) & Forms 6i

Hellow Everybody
I would like to ask about Forms 6i & Oracle8i 8.1.6. Whenever I wanna install Forms 6i in $Oracle_Home it says:
"The location specified E:\Orant, is already used as an Oracle home for Oracle 816 production. It cannot be used as an Oracle for NT".
If I made another home, for ex. E:\Orant\Ordev and name it $DEV_HOME another message appears:
"Oracle Net8 client dose not support multiple Oracle homes ...."
Unfortunately I tried everything !!
Any Comment please !!
Regards

I have currently have Form6i/Report6i/Oracle8.1.6/OEM in the same machine.
1. Install Forms6i to default directory
2. Install Report6i to same directory
3. Reboot system
4. Delete tnsname.ora and sqlnet (Net8)
5. Reboot system
6. Install Oracle 8.1.6 E/PE into different directory etc. c:/816i
7. config net8 under 8.16
8. config net8 under 8.05 to point to 8.16 sid and its directory
9. Install OEM
This should work.

Online System

Dear all
I am using Form6i & Report6i and the DATABASE is 10g (10.1.0.2.0) Operating System using Windows Server 2003.
Now I want that my user run my system from REMOTE DESKTOP utility from anywhere.
what will be the best solution for this purpose.
Salman

Your question is not very clear. Do you want to run windows remote desktop utility then just enable remote desktop access on the server and then access the server through 'mstsc' utility.
While, if you want your users to access your forms/reports 6i application then deploy the .fmx and .rep files on the reports and forms services on the server and then access the application through the browzer from client pc, In this the oracle database can be of any version 8i,9i,10g or 11g.

Problem connect form6i and Oracle Database 10g

Any idea what might cause Forms to shutdown ubnormally?

If your database is using the AL32UTF8 character set, Forms 6i cannot connect.

Problem in generating the Oracle report6i to PDF file.

Hi guys,
I had encounter problem in generating the Oracle report6i to PDF file. The Amount column once the report is genrated to PDF it double the amount reflected in the PDF file report. See sample scenarios below:
Can anybody help me explain this issue how it really happens?
Example:
FROM ORACLE REPORTS6i :
ITEM # PRODUCT AMOUNT
1 PRINTER 5,000
2 KEYBOARD 2,000
TO PDF FILE :
ITEM # PRODUCT AMOUNT
1 PRINTER 10,000
2 KEYBOARD 4,000
Thank you.

Hi "LawlordsX",
I do understand the issue, something seems to have messed up the Shell Extensions on the 2 Lenovo laptops you talked about.
Could you please check if the 2 m/c(s) have an additional version of Office installed in parellal to Office 2007, say Office 2010 trial pre-installed on them. This can be verified via CONTROL PANEL > PROGRAMS AND FEATURES > Check for the versions of Office installed. If yes, please let me know the additional Office software version/type.
Also, could you be more specific about the bitage of the system, i.e. whether the Windows 7 m/c is 32-bit or 64-bit?
This can be checked from CONTROL PANEL > SYSTEM > Under "System" section check for "System Type".
If converting multiple files at a time to PDF is an issue, as an alternate you could use FILE > CREATE > BATCH CREATE MULTIPLE FILES to workaround the problem for the time being.
Thanks!

Hi,
Your problem is you are selecting a value for a parameter which
is not a value from the LOV of the report parameter you have
created. If you want to test wether your selected values is
correct or not please try to select that value from the sql
statement you have written for the LOV.
select 'abcdef' from table_name where column_name =
value_of_parameter; this should return 'abcdef'.

is this the latest version or do i really need patch for this.
Any body having this problem please help me.
all these form were developed in form 6i on oracle database 9.2.0.1

We're on your version, and we occasionally get an ORA-06511 and ORA-06502 error message. What's puzzling to me is that in the Forms navigator, the Program Unit that's reporting the error occasionally shows with an *, which means that it needs to be recompiled, when in fact nothing else has changed. Try splaining that to the person that pays your invoices.
While the ReComp seems to fix the problem, it does not cure the synptom, which rears it's head every now and then. I can't explain why that happens, but I do know that it's a pretty strong incentive to "Not fix something that's not broke", even if that precludes enhancements that make $ sense.
To be fair, I should point out that I'm a newbie to both Forms and Reports, and I've not had the benefit of formalized training. What I've learned, I've learned by reading the documentation, reading books that I've purchased at my own expense and answers to questions that I've submitted to various Oracle forums where I've been treated pretty fairly given my "Newbie" status. Most of the time I only request that a responding guru send me to the correct doc set or web site that will allow me to do my own research.
Thanks,
Ron
Unlike most programmers. I always presume that I've made an error coding that probogated down the line and most of the time I've been right in this view.
I'll bet that the Oracle guy that monitors this forum will have something to say about this ... and ... no one will be listening more than I.
Thanks,
Ron

Problem in creating progress bar in form6i

dear all
how are you?
i created a progress bar but i face a problem.
in the when button pressed trigger i write this
declare
cursor MY_cur is
select col1,col2,col3
from base_table;
vWIDTH number :=0;
vSTEP NUMBER := 0;
begin
SELECT COUNT(1)
INTO vROWS
FROM base_table;
vSTEP := 300 / vCOUNT;
show_view('progress_bar_stack');
for i in MY_cur is
loop
insert int my_tab(c1,c2,c3)
values(i.col1,i.col2,i.col3);
set_item_property('progree_item',width,width+vSTEP);
synchronize;
end loop;
end;
I ASK IS THIS A GOOD WAY TO CREATE A PROGRESS BAR OR NOT . AND IS THERE ANOTHE WAY TO CREATE A PROGRESS OTHER THAN THIS.
PLEASE IF YOU HAVE A WAY , WRITE IT .
TAREK FATHI
2005 05 31

my way of implementig a progress bar is:
window wn_pbar with canvas cn_pbar and a button bt_pbar. The Button has a width of 1 pixel and max 300.
now I have a procedure pbar.init (P_<wn-name>, P_<max-value>) which writes a window-header in the wn_pbar and a max-value in a package-variable.
another function named pbar.next (P_<value> DEFAULT 1) increments an internal variable act-value. This act-value is initially 0 and can increment to max-value. The act-value/max-value is the percentage of the width of the button. e.g. 1200/2000 means 60% -> 60% of width 300 = 180 width for the button.
another procedure pbar.destroy deletes the variables, closes the window wn_pbar and goes back to the item, where the focus was before the pbar started.
with this steps you can easily group these objects in a objectgroup and inherit it to all forms you need a pbar. the sourcecode is still in a library pbar.pll which you have to attach.
it looks like your functionality, but you can use it anywhere you need it.
try it
Gerd
PS: This is a very useful method for forms client/server. In the web you have to check, that the button not refreshes to open.... the more network-roundtrips, the fewer performance...
