Format Forms in APEX

Hello,
we want to migrate a Portal 3.06 (DB 8.17) application to apex. In the Aplication there are several input forms. In Portal i use plsql Procedure to manage the input. The layout i build with html and very easy the item tags (e.g. #Name.item#, #label.label#) , because all input form layout is equal (Header Text, input attributs, html elements).
What is the easyst way to build the forms in APEX. Is it possible to copy and paste html syntax
Thanks for your help
html sysntax from portal :
<TR><TD>
<TABLE align="center" BORDER="1" align="center" bgcolor="#ccffcc" width="100%" CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="0">
<TR>
<td><font color="#666666" ><div align="center"><b>Change Group ID </b></div></font></td>
</TABLE></TD></TR><TR><TD>
<basefont face="helvetica">
<TABLE BORDER="0" CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="0">
<TR></TR>
<TR>
     <td width="10"></td>
     <TD><b><#USER_NAME.LABEL#></b></TD><TD><#USER_NAME.ITEM#></TD>
     <td width="50"></td>
     <td width="10"></td>
</TR>
<TR>
     <td></td>
     <TD><b><#GROUPID.LABEL#></b></TD><TD><#GROUPID.ITEM#></TD>
</TR>
<tr HEIGHT=7><td colspan="12"><hr width="80%" align="center" color="#00cc00" noshade></td></tr>
<TR>
     <td></td>
     <TD><b><#TITLE.LABEL#></b></TD><TD><#TITLE.ITEM#></TD>
</TR>
<TR>
     <td></td>
     <TD><b><#FIRSTNAME.LABEL#></b></TD><TD><#FIRSTNAME.ITEM#></TD>
     <td></td>
     <TD><b><#LASTNAME.LABEL#></b></TD><TD><#LASTNAME.ITEM#></TD>
</TR>
<tr HEIGHT=7><td colspan="12"><hr width="80%" align="center" color="#00cc00" noshade></td></tr>
<TR>

Hello,
Your going to want to look at page and region templates.
As for the item layout try using the drag and drop item layout feature and you will get close to what you want fairly quickly.

Migrating Oracle forms to APEX 3.2 without using Forms2XML tool

Can we migrate Oracle forms to APEX 3.2 without using Forms2XML tool?

Hi Anoo,
In order to convert Oracle Forms to Oracle Application Express, using the Forms Conversion utility in Oracle APEX 3.2, you are required to convert your Forms Module (FMB) files to XML format, using the Oracle Forms to XML conversion tool, Forms2XML. I would recommend that you review Chapter 4 [Converting an Oracle Forms Application|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14373_01/migrate.32/e13368/appmgr_forms.htm] , in the Oracle Application Express Migration Guide Release 3.2
If you have any further questions relating to the Oracle Forms to Oracle Application Express conversions, I would recommend that you refer to the [Application Express|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/forum.jspa?forumID=137] forum.
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Hilary

Problem with Migration Forms to Apex ...

Hello !!
I discovered Apex a few days ago, so I began with the Oracle tutorials, where I found the conversion from Forms to Apex : "Converting Your Oracle Forms Applications to Application Express 3.2".
I tried to do the same, with a Unix server and my laptop with Windows.
I downloaded the Forms which where on my Unix server on my laptop, and then converted them with frmf2xml.bat.
Then I created a project and uploaded only one Forms Module (_fmb.XML). After upload, the Percent Complete column is lower than 100%.
My problem is at the following step : "Generating Your Application Express Application".
When I click on "Create Application", select "Based on Migration Project" and then on "Next", I have one of the following errors :
- 1 error has occurred * The project, "Test Gestuser" does not contain any Blocks associated with database objects.
- 1 error has occurred * Database schema PROCIE does not contain the associated database objects for the project, login. Ensure the database schema associated with the project contains the database objects associated with the uploaded Forms Module .XML file(s)
I really don't understand these two errors, having yet checked all the possible error sources, user, schema, ... ?:|
I have probably forgotten to give some informations, so ask them ;)
Thanks for your help,
Pierre C.
Edited by: Pierre C. on 19 juin 2009 17:22

I found the problem(s) ... but now I have another one !!
The problems are with the Forms : I opened them with Forms Builder and created a new Block with the assistant. Then I compared this block with another "normal" block : they haven't the same properties.
My block has an associated canvas and database source, whereas the other "normal" blocks haven't.
Where does the error come from ??
Is there something to do with Forms Builder ?
On my Unix server before downloading the forms ?
Another thing to do ??
Thanks,

from web but I am not able to do it. Is there any doc or links are much appreciated.
Info: Some reason my oiddas web link is not working it used to work fine before and also the from /pls/orasso/ link I am not able to login may be because of my oiddas issue
Thanks

How to show long text in TextView control in formatted form?

Hi,
I have requirement to show long text from backend text edit control to WD application. I am using READ_TEXT Fm to read the long text and passing it to text view UI element.
The text is shown in simply one long line but I want it to show in the same format as stored in backend textedit control.
If I take textedit UI control then it shows the text in formatted form.
Could you please let me know how to achieve these for TextView control? My requirement is that I have to use only TextView control.
Thanks,
Chandra

Hi,
The Problem solved to some extend but still the exact formatting is not happening though i am using cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline.
for eg. if the long text is as below.
"To display the external component, you can now embed an interface view of any window of this component in a window of your current embedding a view of oneu2019s own component. By setting up navigation from one outbound plug of a view of your inbound plug of the inter external component, you enable the external component to be displayed. New line ."
and if in backend the Last line " New line ." is on next line, on WD it is not displayed on next line.
Thanks,
Chandra

Is it possible to print a form in APEX 2.1?

Hi,
Is it possible to print a form in APEX 2.1? I'm able to export a report in cvs, but not a form.
Thanks.

If you're just looking to export a single row via CSV, then yes, you can add that functionality to your Form page in any release of APEX.
Have a look at a blog post I made quite some time ago:
http://spendolini.blogspot.com/2006/04/custom-export-to-csv.html
Using this, you could limit the query to only bring back the row that is displayed in the form.
Thanks,

Cannot delete record in master detail form in apex 4.0.1

Dear all,
I've created a master detail form in apex 4.0.1. Inserting and updating records is working. But when i want to delete a detail or master record, nothing is happening. The delete button is just not working.
Can someone please tell me if this is a bug, and if so, is there a work around to solve this problem?
Thanks,

Hi,
Am I the only one having this problem?

Converting from Forms to APEX

does anyone have a formula or methodology for estimating the time it takes to convert (or recreate) a Form to APEX?

Not really possible, since you are going to have to do some re-designing when you move from Forms to APEX. Just remember, the conversion tool will do some of the work, but you are REALLY better off re-developing your Forms app in APEX then converting..
Thank you,

Oracle forms vs apex

hi all ,
i want to know the difference between the both , because i've read before that the two of them are for developing enterprise applications, so what is the difference ? is apex for developing applications just for small enterprises ? or what ?
thanks in advance

This question was asked at least hundreds of times, it might be a good idea to use the forum search (or google for that matter) to see what comes up. The whole topic is somewhat huge and can't be broken down in a few sentences. So you have to read and make up your mind yourself.
For example look what google brought up when feeding it with the search terms oracle forms apex (I agree these are very strange search terms to use when searching for information on oracle forms and apex, as search phrases like wrzlbrmpf are more likely to return anything):

Flash Format Forms No Workie

I'm able to test a simple CFForm with Flash format on my
personal web account and it works great. However, in the same MX 7
environment the form won't generate. It will generate a Flash
plugin component, but no form elements.
I suspect that there is some possible configuration change I
need to make on the server side for Flash formatted forms to
appear? CFIDE directory permissions? Enable some service?
eg, this one works:
http://www.somareview.com/testme.cfm
eg, this one with the same code does not work:

Thanks for any suggestions,

Dear Chuck,
I guess you have fixed the problem. Both sites work well to
me.

Integrating Forms and Apex. (Calling Apex from Forms).

Hi all.
We'll soon start an upgrade of our Forms / Reports 6i Application to 11g.
I was wondering, maybe, it would be nice to add some value for the upgrade process as a whole, using some of Apex new features like web mobile interface or maybe an integration between Forms an Apex, for example to provide users with the powerful features of Interactive Reports, just to name one.
I have found this interesting link: http://roelhartman.blogspot.com/2008/11/integrate-oracle-forms-with-apex.html. (not a 100% clear for me, but at least it is a start).
Obviously, to make it attractive, one would expect automatic login between the two Apps. As far as i know, this could be done like this:
1) Using SSO. With that a Portal / Forms / Reports/ Discoverer/ version would be mandatory (too expensive for some clients).
2) Oracle Access Manager? Not sure, can Oracle Forms connect to Access Manager? or LDAP? How about the licensing costs?. Not a clue.
3) Make all Apex pages public? Not feasible.
4) Now this one: in our forms application, every user authenticates within the application and we internally map that application user to an actual database user. At all times we hold metadata info about the current user (app, and DB), as well as application context. So this is my question:
It is possible to create an Apex app, with database authentication method, and somehow pass the metadata from forms, and have a kind of custom login procedure that does all the application to DB user conversion process and application context setting????
This is a very important question for us, although not sure where to really post it...
Feedback will be greatly appreciated .....!
Regards,Luis ....:)=

I did something like that once. What you can do is set some random session id after logging in in Forms. Pass this session id to Apex every time and let Apex check if it is a valid session id.
More information here:
http://sqlcur.blogspot.com/2009/04/forms-apex-integration-2.html
In that example I create a new session id on every call to an Apex page from Forms, but you can use the same session id as long as the user is logged in in Forms.

Instead of starting a new thread with the same question as Query for create manual tabular form using apex collection add row button functionality.
Could you answer the question about what you see while debug the javascript code.
If you don't understand the question or have trouble debug javascript let us know.

Hi,
Because you're using a composite key with more than 2 columns you'll need to create a view of each table with a ROWID column and use those as your primary keys. Either that or add a new column to the table for each entry.
