Forms 10g (9.0.4) compatibility with IE 7

I read that Sun's JRE 1.6 is compatible with patch set 3 of Application Server version 10.1.2.
After migrating from 6i early this year, we have the 10g (9.0.4) version. We run on Windows Server 2003. Will we need to up grade from 9.0.4 to 10.1.2 or is there a patch I can install for 9.0.4 to use with JRE 1.6?
Is the JRE installed on the client machine, similar to the JInitiator, or the server? Finally, is the JInitiator still necessary if JRE is installed?
thank you.

See the official statement for 10.1.2 at http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/10gR2/clientsod_forms10gR2.html or the one from 9.0.4 at http://www.oracle.com/wocportal/page/wocprod/ver-31/ocom/technology/products/forms/htdocs/10g/clientsod_forms10g.html
Forms 9.0.4 is already desupported so don't expect any updates there. It isn't even supported with Sun JRE 1.5, let alone 1.6
Yes, the Sun JRE is installed on the client machine just as Oracle JInitiator. In fact, Oracle JInitiator was just Oracle's copy of the Sun JRE with some minor improvements/fixes.
When using Sun JRE, you no longer need Oracle JInitiatior.
Please note that Sun JRE is the way forward in Oracle's strategy. As far as I know, the latest versions of Oracle eBusiness Suite also use Sun JRE and Forms11 will probably drop support for Oracle JInitiator.

Does any body knows what should be the settings of IE8 , to make forms of with IE8.
Is there any metalink how to document?
Thank you in advance

Form Created in LiveCycle 8 compatibility with Office 2010

A few years ago I created a form in LiveCycle Designer 8 which allowed my users to submit a pdf from by attaching it to an Outlook email. Some of the users have switched to Office 2010 and the submit button is no longer working. Any ideas for a fix? Thanks!

No you cannot... this is one of the things my organization struggles with. I love livecycle becuase of its dynamic form capabilities, but we have so many other pre-built pdfs in adobe pro that can not be merged with these forms. It is truly frustrating!!! wish i had a better answer for you. Also from the book 'Creating Dynamic Forms with Adobe LiveCycle Designer' page 6... "The PDF files that Designer creates are structurally different than other PDF files...... LiveCycle Designer can edit a PDF form created in Acrobat, but Acrobat can not edit a PDF form created in Designer." Likewise... XML pdfs do not merge with other pdfs. JoBeth

Forms 10g R2 10.1.2.0.2 hangs on startup on XP with SP2

Hi all,
I am having problems starting Forms 10g on my Toshiba Notebook with 1G RAM. The CPU usage for csrss.exe goes up to 100% after the splash screen is displayed and the form hangs.
All other products (Reports, sql*plus etc.) starts without any problem.
Is this an OS issue or did I forget something during the installation?
I'll appreciate your help.

maybe the suggestion in this post can help?

or how can i use sound file in 10g
is it with webUtil ( i' ve configured it correctly )
*or with java beans _ plz help me with it _*
Thanks _ waiting for u answers _ plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I 'd like to play a soend wave file _ say when press a button package sound;

URGENT!!! calling crystal reports from oracle forms 10g

Can someone help to answer how, if there is a solusion, to call crystal reports from oracle forms 10g.
Please provide codes with details showing step by step.
Thanks

hi
try something like this.
DECLARE
charWinHandle VARCHAR2(50);
numWinHandle NUMBER;
BEGIN Set_Application_Property(Cursor_Style,'BUSY');
charWinHandle := Get_Item_Property('Control.Rep',Window_Handle);
numWinHandle := To_Number(charWinHandle);
:Item('Control.CrystalReport1').OCX.Crystal.Crysta lReport.WindowParentHandle
:= numWinHandle;
:Item('Control.CrystalReport1').OCX.Crystal.Crysta lReport.WindowState := 2;
:Item('CONTROL.CRYSTALREPORT1').OCX.Crystal.Crysta lReport.Connect
:= 'DSN=;UID=' || Get_Application_Property(UserName) ||
';pwd=' || Get_Application_Property(password) || ';dsq=;';
Crystal_CrystalCtrl.ReportFileName( :Item('Control.CrystalReport1').interface,
'C:\Sample_Rep.Rpt' );
Set_Window_Property( Forms_Mdi_Window, Window_State,Maximize );
Set_Window_Property( 'MAIN', Window_State, Maximize );
:reptitle := 'Report Preview Window';
numWinHandle := Crystal_CrystalCtrl.PrintReport( :Item('Control.CrystalReport1').interface );
Set_Application_Property(Cursor_Style,'DEFAULT');
END;NOTE: Change the report name and path according to your required file name and path in
the "Crystal_CrystalCtrl.ReportFileName" method call. Also, the connection string shown
assumes that you will use the current USER and PASSWORD for the Form.
- To make the above Form generic so that you can run any Crystal report from it, then create
a parameter for the report name and pass it to the Form using CALL_FORM from any other Form.
Then just replace the file name with the passed parameter.
-. Run the Form
If its correct/helpful please mark it thanks.

Oracle Database10g Express Edition's compatibility with Forms/Reports 10g

hi,
I have a problem while connecting from Oracle Forms/Reports 10g to Oracle Database10g Express Edition.I have configured through the net configuration assistant and it shows the test is also successful. But while connecting from Oracle Forms/Reports 10g, an error is being displayed saying that the TNS could not resolve service name(ORA - 012154). I am able to connect to my database server normally. I got a doubt now regarding Oracle Database10g Express Edition's compatibility with Oracle Developer Suite 10g. Can I use Oracle Database10g Express Edition as backend for Forms/Reports 10g in a stand alone machine.
Can anyone please give me a solution regarding my issue.
Thanks in advance.
RAKESH

12154 means that the TNSNAMES.ora that reports is using does not understand what the '@XE' means.
Check that you do not have several different TNSNAMES.ora files - there are probably several, and the one you are using probably does not point to XE. This is the most common cause I've seen.

Runtime Compatibility Mode in Forms 10g

Dear All
I would like to achieve the Runtime Compatibility Mode in Forms 10g, is there any work around to do this. Kindly let me know. This is little bit argent
Thanks in advance

Thangaraj

Thank for your reply Bernd
I need to achieve the same functionaliy in 6i, the scenario is like this,
i have a madatory item and i will set the runtime compatibility mode 4.5 then at runtime i can able to leave the filed empty if i press the SHIFT+TAB key, if i press tab or enter key alone the error message should be displayed "Field must be entered" , this is functionality is working fine in 6i forms if you set the Runtime Compatibility Mode is 4.5.
but this is not heppening in 10g forms, because we have the same source in 6i whenever there is a need we will compile it with 10g template and give to the customer, now its not working so its creating big trouble.
i have seen something in meta link but that is not feesible. pls do the need ful
Thanks

How to read a Value from Excel Cell into Oracle Forms 10g with Java

Did any one Implamented a Java PJC to integrate Excel on Oracle Forms 10g?
I Open Excel Applikation.
Open a File like c:\import_test.xls
read a number 05 from A:1 (i get it as return value).
Save a number in a variable in Forms 10g
Can any one help my please?

why don't you use webutil.
it has package client_ole2 which allows you to have programmatic interface with excel application.
this is especially useful if the excel to be read is available in the client.

Problem with output from report to excel, calling the report from form 10g

Hi everyone, I'm having a problem generating a excel from a report, which is called from a form, I'm using Forms 10g. The problem is this: My report has a variable number of columns. These columns appear according to data obtained from the database, these columns are dates, In vesion 6 excel file generated shows the columns one after another starting in column A1 to column CP. I mean that the dates are correlative. But in version 10g the excel file generated shows the same report starting in column A to column T, only shows the 20 dates correlative corresponding to this columns, the rest of the dates are down the excel sheet in groups of 20 dates, it's something, the file in 6i grows across and in 10g grows down the excel sheet. The report (rdf file) is the same in 6i and 10g, I compiled the 6i version to obtain the 10g version. The excel sheet generated in 10g looks like the report was in pdf format, because PDF format, cuts the report in pages and the file grows down, if I generate the report in PDF format it has the same structure excel file in 10g has. I hope yo can help because I have days trying to solve this but I have no succes. If someone could help I could email the excel files generated in two versions. Here I put the code I use to generate the files in 6i and 10g. I have tried with DESFORMAT=SPREADSHEET in 10g but the result is the same. Thanks for your help. Greetings for all.

There are two problems with your VI. First, the basic logic of writing/appending to a file (Excel, TDMS, anything) should go something like this: Open the file, position yourself at the end of the file, then, in the loop, acquire data and write it to the file until you are finished with data acquisition. When you exit the acquire/write to file loop, then close the file. In particular, the opening and the closing of the file should not be inside the loop.
As others have pointed out, writing to Excel might not be optimal, particularly if you are acquiring data at a high rate (and would therefore be writing a lot of data). We actually use Excel in our data acquisition routine, mainly reading from a WorkSheet to get the parameters of a particular stimulus, but also writing the outcome of the response to the stimulus. As it happens, our "acquisition rate" in this example is on the order of several samples per minute, so there's no problem using Excel (we also sample 16 channels of analog data at 1 KHz -- this gets written as a binary file).
Second, if you really do want to use Excel, use the (existing) Excel file to which you want to append as the "template" argument of the New Report function. Then use the Excel Get Last Row function to position yourself at "end of file", as noted above.
Good Luck.

How to use LDAP with Oracle forms 10g on Oracle application server

Hi,
I need some help on this. I have developed oracle forms 10g on application server 9iAS. The client want to use the existing LDAP authentication to the software we wrote. I do not know how I could configure to use the existing LDAP authentication . If anyone know how would I use the existing LDAP on different server to use when they logon to our menu in 10g to validate the user. Do I need to add any varibales in formweb.cfg or any other method. Please help.
Thanks
Luksh

I am not quite sure if this works out of the box. According to an Oracle FAQ:
4.2 Can I use LDAP to authenticate Forms Services?
Not directly. However, Oracle Login Server is able to authenticate against a LDAP directory and thus a Forms application can take advantage of this in a SSO environment. But you cannot use access control information stored in a LDAP directory with Forms.

How can I read a blob created with ole container in forms 6i in forms 10g

In forms 6i I used ole container to save a document (excel, pdf, word...) into a blob column.
I want to migrate my application in forms 10g and I read that I have to use webutil_File_transfer.db_to_client and after webutil_host.blocking to see the document.
In the same blob column I can have multiple type of document. How Can I know wich application to use to open the document ?
Even if I know the extension of my document I'm enabled to open the file ???

When you click a C/S OLE object, it is opened with its default application's owner, no ?
So if the OLE object is opened by Excel, the extension is .xls.
In any case you have to open the OLE object with its "mother" application if you want to save it as a file, so there is no problem at all to decide with extension to use.
If you read this article : http://sheikyerbouti.developpez.com/webutil-docs/Webutil_store_edit_docs.htm you can see that the filename is automatically opened with the corresponding application.

Problems with Apple Preview filled forms and compatibility with Windows?

Anyone else having problems with Apple Preview filled out forms and compatibility with Microsoft Windows after Lion?
I've had it happen recently with two different people, where the data I had entered on a fillable PDF form could not be seen by Microsoft Windows, but I saw my data just fine.
I don't know what version of Adobe Acrobat they were running.
Thanks,
kt

You will get that first message when the document has been changed in a way that invalidates the internal digital signature that's applied when a document is Reader-enabled. Certain changes are allowed (e.g., filling fields, commenting, signing) and will not invalidate the signature, but others are not. The exact cause of the change is often hard to track down, but it can be due to font problems, some type of file corruption, or something that Acrobat/Reader attempts to correct when the file is opened/saved. You will also get the message if the users system time is not correct and is currently set to some time before the document was Reader-enabled. It seems best to use the most recent version of Acrobat to enabled the documents and recent versions of Reader to work with them.
It problem is probably not related to the user using anything in the Sign pane.
