Forms 10g Alert button navigation/focus

Hi,
I have an alert that pops up on a certain condition that has 3 buttons to choose from. Navigating between buttons using the left and right arrow keys on works between the first 2 buttons only. Focus does not navigate to the 3rd button.
This did not happen on Forms 6i. Is this normal behavior? Is this a bug in forms 10g? Is there a work around this? Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
Im reactivating this thread because I just discovered this problem.
You are rigth when you say that keyboard navigation works in lookAndFeel=Generic but not lookAndFeel=Oracle.
But this not the only problem encountered.
There is also the default button set in the alert that doesn't work and either in lookAndFeel=Generic and lookAndFeel=Oracle.!
The focus is always on button one, and that is for me a big problem because it usualy the one we use for 'OK' and others for 'CANCEL'.
I let you imagine what problems we can have if the user press return and send ok to the application .......
Is there any patch that correct this behaviour (we are in 9.0.4 patchset 1 at the moment) ?
Thanks
Jean-Yves

Forms 10g - view button

Hi all
I'm doing some work on some standard eBS 12.1. forms, specifically GLXIQACC. There is some code that enables and disables the button.
I've not worked with forms 10g before, and I can't even find where the button is created, never mind what updates it.
Can anyone tell me how to find all the buttons created in a form?
Thanks

You will need to modify the following files: default.env and formsweb.cfg to enable the Forms Runtime Diagnostics (FRD).
formsweb.cfg
Create a new section at the bottom of the file.
[my_frd] -- or title it what ever you want
otherparams=record=collect log=my_frd.txt -- you can name the log file anything you want
envFile=my_frd.env -- again, you can name this file whatever you want
Next, create the my_frd.env file based on the original default.env and make the following changes:
FORMS_TRACE_DIR=C:\DevSuiteHome10g\NETWORK\log
-You can use a directory of your choice ...
Once you have done this, you will need to restart the Forms Services in your application server. Then open a browser and type the URL to your application and add the following to the end of the URL: ?config=my_frd
This will instruct the Forms Services to log all actions in your Forms Session. I prefer to use the separate config for this activity because I don't want it turned on all the time this this allows me to turn it on when ever I need it.
There might be additional steps to enable FRD in the EBS, but this is how you do it in a non-EBS application.
Hope this helps,

Forms 10g - mouse focus/navigation problem

Hello.
We use:
- IE 6
- Java Plug-in 1.5.0_04
- iAS 10.1.2.0.2 (patch 5023945) on HP-UX 11i
We are experiencing an annoying problem. Our ORACLE Forms 10g application (migrated a few months ago from forms 4.5) sometimes loses navigation: mouse clicks stop changing cursor item focus or executing buttons ... Many users can't avoid pressing CTL+ALT+DEL to stop it...
It seams to happen more frequently when users have different windows from different applications opened, navigate to them and then return focus to our application...
We made a workaround that minimized some specific situations:
- avoided enabled image items
- reviewed navigation code to blocks whose first item wasn't navigable (we switched some GO_BLOCK to GO_ITEM)
Should we go to Patch ID 6311490 (focus fix) for 10.1.2.2 iDS and iAS? Is there any other one more suitable?
Which patch should we consider for this situation?
Thanks in advance.
Luis Amorim

Hi Luis
I've seen this sort of thing before and it wasn't easy to solve. There are things you can do to make it better. Check out Oracle Bug 6737974 on metalink. The main cause seemed to be when-deactive-window trigger.

ICONIC BUTTONS IN FORMS 10G

Hi,
I am trying to make a button iconic in Forms 10g,button icons are displayed.
I have tried the following workarounds but no couldn't make it possible:
1. I gave absolute path of icon file.
2. tried .ico and .gif format images as well.
I am using Linux OS. iDS 10g.
Regards,

If I understand you are looking for displaying icons at runtime.
Have a look at the following link:

Hi All,
We have migrated the forms 6i to forms 10g R2.We are facing push button issue like,the lable is displayed in the button is reduced.Assume the button's label name is Cancel.Actully it is displaying like Can.....Due to Java used in forming the buttons.We have forms count nearly 300.We have diffent size buttons.
We have solution like
1.Manually
2.PC Creation
3.Java Class and Jar Files
4.JDAPI
5.basejini.htm
The method five,we have tried.But there is no changes after this changes also.
Can you guys please let us know the correct menthod(with steps 1 by 1) to do this in quickly.

How to put iconic button in forms 10g?

Hi All,
I've created a button with iconic property set to yes and icon file set to open. in forms 10g
But when I run the form, the button appeared without the open icon show!

In webforms, you have to put your icons in a jar file and put the jar file in a directory where Java can read from. the easiest place to put the jar file is the %ORACLE_HOME%/forms/java directory found in your Oracle installation directory
for instance if you have your devsuite installed in C:\devsuite10g put the jar file in C:\devsuite\forms\java.
check out [url http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/pdf/webicons.pdf]Webicons it has both detailed steps to deploy icons in webforms and an easy and fast way to do it.

Ok, here's a working testcase.
The idea is taken from an article from an oracle magazine (i don't have it at hand, , so i tried to rebuild it by "memory". As far as i remember the original was from the german doag-magazine and was written by Gerd Volberg).
Procedure to do the looping:
PROCEDURE PR_DO_THE_LOOP IS
nNumberInOneStep NUMBER:=2;
tm TIMER;
BEGIN
 DEFAULT_VALUE(0, 'GLOBAL.INDEX');
IF :GLOBAL.INDEX=0 THEN
 -- Didn't run yet, determine the max count
 :GLOBAL.MAX:=10000;
END IF;
LOOP
 -- Do the looping stuff
 -- Decrease counter
 nNumberInOneStep:=nNumberInOneStep-1;
 -- Increase globale counter
 :GLOBAL.INDEX:=:GLOBAL.INDEX+1;
 -- Exit conditions
 EXIT WHEN nNumberInOneStep=0;
 EXIT WHEN TO_NUMBER(:GLOBAL.INDEX)>=TO_NUMBER(:GLOBAL.MAX);
END LOOP;
-- reset index at end
IF TO_NUMBER(:GLOBAL.INDEX)>=TO_NUMBER(:GLOBAL.MAX) THEN

Forms 10g Migration : Labels on Buttons get shrinked.

Hi All ,
We have forms from 5/6i converted into forms 10g but observed that on the migrated form Labels on Buttons get shrinked and show up half instead of full.
First case ,why does this happen ? If so what is the soln. for this.
One solution might to select each button and change its height , but do you think there is any better way to do it so that it applies to all buttons on the canvas ...
Thanks,

How to generate .xls file on a button click in Forms 10g

Hi
I am using forms 10g.
On a button click I want to generate a .csv or .xls file (data in these file should be fetched form database).
Could you please tell me how can I do this?
Regards

Hello 576726,
where do you want to store the file?
On the client? If it uses Windows as OS and has Excel installed you can use CLIENT_OLE2, otherwise you can write files using CLIENT_TEXT_IO.
On the server? You can use utl_file or a package that allowes to write formatted/multiple worksheets like
https://xml-spreadsheet.samplecode.oracle.com/ or
https://exceldocumenttype.samplecode.oracle.com/
Another solution by Friedhold Matz is linked at Re: Gride in Oracle Formns 6i

How to populate data from table into Radio button group in Form 10g

Hi,
I have a table with 2 columns, i.e. criteria and weight.
The weight column will contain either 5 or 4 or 3.
I want to design a form (10g) as follows:
CRITERIA----------------------------WEIGHT------------------
------------------------HIGH----------MEDIUM-------------LOW
Cost-------------------o
Duration-------------------------------o
Maintenance-------------------------o
If the criteria contains 5, it will show as HIGH, MEDIUM for 4, LOW for 3.
Do I need one radio group for each CRITERIA column?
How can I populate the table and display as above programatically in the form?
Edited by: srtusar on 26-Mar-2009 04:49
Edited by: srtusar on 26-Mar-2009 06:48

Not exactly. I want to enter input from form and the user can have all options to choose i.e. HIGH, MEDIUM or so on.
Suppose, you have option to select HIGH, MEDIUM or LOW and you can see all these options together. You select LOW and when you save, it is saves in the table as a value. So when you view the table again, it will show LOW as active and HIGH and MEDIUM are null.

This sounds like an issue with the installed JVM but it could be a simple configuration issue. Please provide answers to the following questions and we'll see if we can help you solve this problem.
What JVM and version are you using? What Forms version at you using (Forms 10g R1 = version 9.0.4, Forms 10g R2 = 10.0.1)?

Forms 10g installed and running on Windows Vista

Update 12-Dec-2008: Oracle has published NOTE 559067.1 -- How to Install Developer Suite 10.1.2.0.2 - hence 10.1.2.3 - on Windows Vista, 24-OCT-2008 with some installation help.
Update 07-July-2008: Added text at the bottom showing how to find patchsets for Forms 10g.
Update 29-May-2008: This thread was started in November, 2007. In January, 2008, Oracle released Patch 3 for Forms 10g, which makes Forms 10g compatible with Windows Vista. As time permits I'll try to keep the information in this post up to date. Updated information will be inserted as blue text.

Original message begins here:
This is a second thread I am posting to outline the steps I have used to install Forms on a Windows Vista Home Basic laptop. The other thread describes installing Forms 6i:
Forms 6i installed and running on Windows Vista
Please read through the initial part of that post for the background. I realize Oracle has not certified Forms 10g to run on Vista, but the time has come for my associates and I to upgrade our old computers to new desktop/laptop platforms, and I would hate to acquire XP machines and be stuck with them for the next 5 years. (Note: Since first posting this message, Oracle has certified Forms 10g Patch 3 (version 10.1.2.3.0) to run on Vista) So after another person informed me that he had Forms installed and running on Vista, I went ahead and bought one. I found that as long as I set the compatibility mode to run Forms programs as Windows XP (and a few other changes), Forms 6i and 10g run quite satisfactorily.
Update 29-Jan-2008: Unfortunately, it turns out that the Forms 10g Builder running on Vista had a major flaw: If you try to develop a form, the Builder will crash if you try to compile a procedure that calls another procedure in the form that has errors. The problem is reported and described in this thread: Error compiling a form under Vista
Update 12-Mar-2008: Installing Patch 3 on Vista does not help with this problem -- the Builder still crashes in the same situation.
Update 25-July-2008: Applying Patch 7047034 has corrected the problem. See this link within this thread: Forms 10g: Installing Patch 7047034 on Windows Vista
Webutil note: I am stuck in a Forms 6i client/server world, so all my forms must run in that environment. Therefore I have not used any Webutil software, and I do not know whether that part will run under Vista.
Internet Explorer note: On Windows Vista, IE CANNOT be used to run the Web Forms runtime. It crashes immediately when you try to run a form. Instead, I can use either Firefox (Firefox 2, Firefox 3.0 Crashes with Forms 10g) or Netscape, as long as they are set to disable java. [ Correction: IE7 on Vista now runs the Forms 10g forms. You just need to add "?config=jpi" to the browser URL when starting the Web Forms session. More IE/Vista info: [url=http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=642973]Vista JInitiator Problem ]
The Oracle Developer Suite download page:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ids/index.html
Oracle Developer Suite Installation Guide:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25016_07//doc/dl/core/B16012_04/toc.htm
The steps below are those I followed to install Forms 10g (version 10.1.2.0.2)
I. Preliminary system changes in Windows
When I started installing, I got the following error message: Install has encountered an error while
 attempting to verify your virtual memory settings.
 Please verify that the sum of the initial sizes of
 the paging files is at least 256 MB.To fix this: Go to Control Panel, System and Maintenance, View amount of RAM and processor speed (under "System"),
Advanced system settings (in left "Tasks" column), Advanced tab, Settings (under "performance"), Advanced tab:
Virtual Memory shows a "Total paging file size for all drives: 2337MB.
Click "change", Uncheck "Automatically manage paging file size for all drives"
Click "custom size:", set Initial size to: 2048, Max to 4096
Click set button, then OK, get message:The changes you have made require you to restart your computer before
 they can take effect.Restart the computer.
II. Installing Forms 10g
1. Download two files from Oracle:
ds_windows_x86_101202_disk1.zip (626,122,752 bytes)
ds_windows_x86_101202_disk2.zip (236,880,881 bytes)
2a. Before extracting, it is a good idea to shut down any virus protection software. It can sometimes prevent some files from being created.
2b. Extract both into the C:\oracle directory, as disk1 and disk2.
3. Using Windows Explorer, change the properties of setup.exe in the C:\oracle\disk1 folder. (In windows explorer, right click, properties, Compatibility tab.) Change the compatibility to run as Windows XP (Service Pack 2).
4. Right click setup.exe and click "Run as administrator"
5. Select "Installation type" = Complete (1.11 GB)
6. Received this message:Windows Firewall has blocked this program from
accepting incoming network connections. If you
unblock this program, it will be unblocked on all
public networks that you connect to.
C:\users\steve\appdata\local\temp\orainstall...
2007-10-29_11-59-08am\jre\1.4.2\bin\javaw.exeI clicked "Unblock"
7. Received this message: "Provide outgoing mail server information" I entered the smtp mail server that I use.
8. A summary screen displayed showing 274 products under New Installations.
I clicked the Install button.
9. Received this message: You can find a log of this install session at:
C:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory\logs\installActions2007.....log
10. The installation completed. Installed products shows Forms 10.1.2.0.2
III. After the install completed
1. Create a shortcut to the Forms 10 Builder on the Desktop.
On the shortcut line, after the .exe, add *userid=userxxx/pwxxx@orcl* so Builder automatically logs into 10g database. If you do step 4 below (creating an easily-accessible folder to use for your forms) change the "Start in" path on the shortcut so it points to that folder. Otherwise, Forms Builder will not find referenced objects and PLL libraries when it opens a form. Also do the same on the Start, All Programs shortcut for the Forms Builder.
Edit: After applying Patch 3, the following steps are not necessary.
Set its compatibility to Windows XP.
Set checkbox: "Run this program as as an administrator." (Without this, FormBuilder will NOT open a PLL library.)
Click the "Show settings for all users" and change values there.
2. Copy "Start OC4J Instance" icon to desktop.
Set its compatibility to Windows XP.
The first time it runs, I got a Windows popup to unblock program named Java. I clicked "Unblock".
3. tnsnames.ora:
Rename C:\oracle\DevSuiteHome_1\network\admin\tnsnames.ora
to: tnsnames_orig.ora
If you created a tnsnames.ora file for Forms 6i, just copy it to the path above. If not, do this:
Create a new tnsnames.ora file, copying entries old file on my old laptop, which contains all the connections I use.
Delete the old laptop entry, replace with new entry for the new local ORCL connection on new laptop from tnsnames file renamed from the c:\oracle\... ...\10.2.0\db_1\ path.
4. Optional: Create an easily accessible folder to store fmb files:
C:\users\steve\.1\fmb10
You don't really want to keep drilling into C:\oracle\DevSuiteHome_1\forms, and then find your .fmb file among the several dozen oracle-supplied files.
To create a folder named .1, you have to open a CMD.exe (Windows DOS) window, and type the Make Directory command:
MD .1
That will create the folder within the current directory -- mine defaults to C:\users\steve
Note: If you also need to use Forms 6i like me, DO NOT EVER open a .fmb file in the Forms 10 Builder from the Forms 6i folder. If you compile it, or even worse, save the .fmb, Forms 6i *cannot ever* access the file. Instead, always use the File Manager (Windows Explorer) to copy the fmb from the fmb6 folder into the fmb10 location.
5. Change the Forms 10g Default.env file using a text editor.
This file replaces all the settings originally written to the Windows Registry (GREAT idea, Oracle! I hate the registry.) No more Regedit. The default.env file is located at: (DevSuiteHome_1 path)\forms\server\default.env
Locate line with: FORMS_PATH= and add:
;C:\users\steve\.1\fmb10
Add a new line:
FORMS_MMAP=FALSE
The above allows compiling an fmx while the form is running.
Add a new line:
FORMS_ROWLOCK_OPTIMIZATION=FALSE
(This fixes Oracle bug number 3949854, which prevents automatic skipping if the same value is typed over another value. TAR 4806199.993 Automatic Skip failure...) See bug 4068896
Add a new Line:
FORMS_RESTRICT_ENTER_QUERY=False
This allows use of Query-Where window in enter query, after entering a colon in any input field. Without this, Forms returns FRM-40367: Invalid criteria in field nnn in example record. Oracle shut it down to prevent "sql injection" attacks.
6. Jiniator setup:
Run file jinit.exe in C:\oracle\DevSuiteHime_1\jinit\jinit.exe
It installs Jinitiator 1.3.1.22.
I installed it in C:\oracle\JInitiator 1.3.1.22\
For Firefox, make sure a copy of file \bin\NPJinit13122.dll resides in C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins.
For Netscape, the path is: C:\Program Files\Netscape\Navigator 9\plugins
7. Browser settings
See the note above about using Firefox 2 and not Firefox 3!
In Firefox 2 go to: Tools-> Options-> Content
Uncheck the "Enable Java" checkbox
--Firefox terminates if this is not done!
Note: After my system automatically installed updates to either java or Firefox, re-check the "Enable Java" setting. I am suspicious that one of these installs re-enables java in the browser.
Also note: some web sites cannot display properly if java is disabled. Example: U.S. time website: http://www.time.gov Use Internet Explorer to view these.
In Netscape make the same changes as Firefox. Without disabling java, it also terminates when you try to run a form.
Creating a url to use in the browser:
Try this:
http://127.0.0.1:8889/forms/frmservlet
If it does not work, change the 8889 port number as follows:
Open file: C:\oracle\DevSuiteHome_1\install\portlist.ini
Note the number in line:
Oracle Developer Suite HTTP port = 8889
Use the number as the port number.
You can also change the 127.0.0.1 to the computer name:
Control Panel, System and Maintenance, See the name of this computer (under "System"). Mine is "steve-PC"
So the alternate URL is: http://steve-PC:8889/forms/frmservlet
To try out the URL, start the OC4J instance set up above. Then start either Netscape or Firefox, and enter the URL. You should get a welcome screen.
If the above URL works, start up the Forms Builder, and open Edit, Preferences. On the General tab, uncheck the "Build before running" check box (optional). On the Runtime tab, set the "Application Server URL to the url above.
To run a real form, add this to the URL after frmservlet, (with no spaces):
?form={formname}&userid={userxxx}/{passwordyyy}@{connect-string}
but replace the parts in curly braces with the appropriate values. Example:
http://127.0.0.1:8889/forms/frmservlet?form=ABC&userid=abc123/zyx@orcl
Setting up Forms Builder to directly run a form in the browser:
Run the Forms Builder. Go to Edit, Preferences, Runtime tab.
Set the Application Server URL to:
http://127.0.0.1:8889/forms/frmservlet
(or use whatever URL string you developed above)
Set the Web Browser Location to:
"C:\Program Files\Netscape\Navigator 9\navigator.exe"
(or an equivalent to run the Firefox browser).
8. FORMSWEB.CFG file changes
The file is located at:
C:\ORA_DS_101202\DevSuiteHome_1\forms\server\formsweb.cfg
I changed the following two lines in the file, but these are my personal preferences:
separateFrame=true
lookandfeel=Generic
9. FMRWEB.RES file changes
For Oracle help: Enabling Key Mappings
The file fmrweb.res defines actions (triggers that run) when a function key is pressed while running Forms. The one released has unix-style key mapping, but I prefer keys originally mapped for Windows PC Forms users. There is a fmrpcweb.res in the same folder that can be renamed to fmrweb.res.
In the C:\oracle\DevSuiteHome_1\forms path, I renamed fmrweb.res to fmrweb_orig.res.
I have a file that I prefer to use, so I put it into the folder as fmrweb.res. The contents are listed below. It is organized so the most important keys are listed alphabetically at the top (URFD column is the sort column), followed by a group of less-important keys. These are keys that are available to users, but they either would not use, or are disabled within most forms. The URFD column in the second set starts with a hex A0 character, which is a high-order space, so collates after normal alphabetic characters. (Note: If you want to copy the text below and use it, the hex A0 character has been changed by the forum software to a space. So you would need to use a text editor with hexadecimal character capabilities to replace the space with the original character. )
My file has special keys defined for F2 (I use it for a debugging Key-F2 trigger in my forms), and a "Cursor to Home" F12 function. All the rest are pretty much the same as in the released fmrpcweb.res file, only mine are organized alphabetically on the URFD column.
The Web Forms fmrweb.res file is editable using any programming editor (NOT MS Word!!!). The old Client/Server key mapping file, fmrusw.res, could only be changed using the Oracle Terminal program (and it is a pain to use).
Here is the main part of my fmrweb.res file:#
#Jfn :Jmn: URKS :Ffn : URFD
# : : (User-readable : : (User-readable
# : : Key-sequence ) : : function description)

I followed your instructions and installed Developer Suite 10G on Windows Vista Home Premium edition. I have Oracle 11G DB running on the same machine.
Two points, Steve:
1. When I tried to set the maximum virtual memory to 6110 an error message displayed from Windows and told me that I can't set the maximum virtual memory to more than 4096. I set it to 4090 and it worked and I got nothing wrong during the installation process.
2. After installing JInitiator and disabling Java on Firefox I called the http://127.0.0.1:8889/forms/frmservlet page and everything seemed to be OK because the Oracle Forms Services logo appeared and then a successful installation message appeared , but as I clicked (ok) to continue a gray screen appeared inside the browser (like the one displayed when you try to run a Java applet inside a browser) and then I wait to death till something appears but sadly nothing. I just get a blank gray screen inside my Firefox browser.
Do you have any idea what to do to solve the problem?

hi
How to get up and running with WebUtil 1.06 included with Oracle Developer Suite 10.1.2.0.2 on a win32 platform
Solution
Assuming a fresh "Complete" install of Oracle Developer Suite 10.1.2.0.2,
here are steps to get a small test form running, using WebUtil 1.06.
Note: Oracle_Home is used as an alias for your real oDS ORACLE_HOME.
Feel free to copy this note to a text editor, and do a global find/replace on
Oracle_Home with your actual value (no trailing slash). Then it is easy to
copy/paste actual commands to be executed from the note copy.
1) Download http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/jacob-project/jacob_18.zip
and extract to a temporary staging area. Do not attempt to use 1.7 or 1.9.
2) Copy or move jacob.jar and jacob.dll
C:\webutile is the folder where you extracted Jacob, and will end in ...\jacob_18
cd C:\webutile
copy jacob.jar Oracle_Home\forms\java\.
copy jacob.dll Oracle_Home\forms\webutil\.
The Jacob staging area is no longer needed, and may be deleted.
3) Sign frmwebutil.jar and jacob.jar
Open a DOS command prompt.
Add Oracle_Home\jdk\bin to the PATH:
set PATH=Oracle_Home\jdk\bin;%PATH%
Sign the files, and check the output for success:
Oracle_Home\forms\webutil\sign_webutil Oracle_Home\forms\java\frmwebutil.jar
Oracle_Home\forms\webutil\sign_webutil Oracle_Home\forms\java\jacob.jar
4) If you already have a schema in your RDBMS which contains the WebUtil stored code,
you may skip this step. Otherwise,
Create a schema to hold the WebUtil stored code, and privileges needed to
connect and create a stored package. Schema name "WEBUTIL" is recommended
for no reason other than consistency over the user base.
Open Oracle_Home\forms\create_webutil_db.sql in a text editor, and delete or comment
out the EXIT statement, to be able to see whether the objects were created witout
errors.
Start SQL*Plus as SYSTEM, and issue:
CREATE USER webutil IDENTIFIED BY [password]
DEFAULT TABLESPACE users
TEMPORARY TABLESPACE temp;
GRANT CONNECT, CREATE PROCEDURE, CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM TO webutil;
CONNECT webutil/webutil@rcci
@Oracle_Home\forms\create_webutil_db.sql
-- Inspect SQL*Plus output for errors, and then
CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM webutil_db FOR webutil.webutil_db;
Reconnect as SYSTEM, and issue:
grant execute on webutil_db to public;
5) Modify Oracle_Home\forms\server\default.env, and append Oracle_Home\jdk\jre\lib\rt.jar
to the CLASSPATH entry.
6) Modify Oracle_Home\forms\server\formsweb.cfg insde [default] add :
archive_jini=frmall_jinit.jar,frmwebutil.jar,jacob.jar
archive=frmall.jar
also add :
[webutil]
WebUtilLogging=off
WebUtilLoggingDetail=normal
WebUtilErrorMode=Alert
WebUtilDispatchMonitorInterval=5
WebUtilTrustInternal=true
WebUtilMaxTransferSize=16384
baseHTMLjinitiator=webutiljini.htm
baseHTMLjpi=webutiljpi.htm
baseHTML=webutilbase.htm
archive_jini=frmall_jinit.jar
WebUtilArchive=frmwebutil.jar,jacob.jar,f90all.jar
archive=frmwebutil.jar,f90all.jar
lookAndFeel=oracle
7) Modify Oracle_Home\forms\server\webutil.cfg and add :
transfer.database.enabled=TRUE
transfer.appsrv.enabled=TRUE
8) Start the OC4J instance
9) Start Forms Builder and connect to a schema in the RDBMS used in step (4).
Open webutil.pll, do a "Compile ALL" (shift-Control-K), and generate to PLX (Control-T).
It is important to generate the PLX, to avoid the FRM-40039 discussed in Note 303682.1
If the PLX is not generated, the Webutil.pll library would have to be attached with
full path information to all forms wishing to use WebUtil. This is NOT recommended.
10) Create a new FMB.
Open webutil.olb, and Subclass (not Copy) the Webutil object to the form.
There is no need to Subclass the WebutilConfig object.
Attach the Webutil.pll Library, and remove the path.
Add an ON-LOGON trigger with the code
NULL;
to avoid having to connect to an RDBMS (optional).
Create a new button on a new canvas, with the code
show_webutil_information (TRUE);
in a WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger.
Compile the FMB to FMX, after doing a Compile-All (Shift-Control-K).
11) Under Edit->Preferences->Runtime in Forms Builder, click on "Reset to Default" if
the "Application Server URL" is empty.
Then append "?config=webutil" at the end, so you end up with a URL of the form
http://server:port/forms/frmservlet?config=webutil
12) Run your form.
