Forms 10g config

Hi all,
I am using forms 10g, 10.2.0.1.0. In the development environment, I made some configurations. But I don't know how to give th configuration parameter when I run the form from the forms developer. As you know when I run the form from the forms developer, no parameters appear in the address bar of the browser. Is there a practical way of defining applet parameters especially for config and forms module?
Thanks....

I'm assuming you have added some config entries to your formsweb.cfg file, and its the application of one of these that you want to include when you run a form from Forms Builder?
If this is the case then you can do this by going to Edit->Preference->Runtime from the menu and entering an Application Server URL. It would look something like:
http://server:port/forms90/f90servlet?config=myConfig
where "myConfig" is the confiig entry you want to use from your formsweb.cfg.

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.

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:#

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.

How to Install Oracle Forms 10g (9.0.4) Demos

Hi.
My forms version is :
Forms [32 bits] Versión 10.1.2.0.2 (Producción)
Oracle Toolkit Versión 10.1.2.0.2 (Producción)
PL/SQL Versión 10.1.0.4.2 (Producción)
I'm trying to install Oracle Forms 10g (9.0.4) Demos. Everything works fine until step 5. I can even access the forms demos home page(changing forms90 to forms). However when i try to access any link, i get the following error:
404 Not Found Resource /forms90/f90servlet not found on this server
What's wrong?. I believe forms is pointing to the wrong direction:
http://mluis:8888/forms90/f90servlet?config=reusable_picklist
For example to show the tick image on step five on install guide, I have to replace
http://mluis:8888//forms90/formsdemo/images/tick.gif
for http://mluis:8888//forms/formsdemo/images/tick.gif
This is because I don't have a forms90 directory in my Oracle_Home. I changed forms90 for forms in formsdemo.env. But still doesn't work. So my question is
- Are these forms demos built for my forms version?.
- If not, what do i have to change in order to make things work. I'm really interested in some special features like PJC, Webutil etc.
- The configuration is still pointing at a forms90 directory. I need to change it to just forms but don't know which files.
Thanks in advance ...!

Hi,
Have you resolved this issue? I have gotten a bit further.
You also need to change any f90xxxxxx to frmxxxxxx
But the servlet cannot seem to find any of the demo forms.
I assume a path issue, but cannot seem to find it.
Any clues?
Thanks.

How can I resolve the push button dot issue in oracle forms 10g..?

Hi All,
We have migrated to forms6i to forms10g, in 6i all the push button labels are displaying properly, but in 10g forms its giving dots like this … after displaying some characters. I guess its width problem but how come its changing in 10g alone.
Kindly give me any workaround to resolve this issue
Thanks in Advance
Thangaraj.

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.
2.There are look and feel 2 types oracle and generic,rather than this do we have any other type.We are looking for any cusrtomized settings in config files.
Thanks in Advance.

Running Oracle form 10g in web

Dear all,
What components do i need to run a form 10g on web?
I have developed a form already and it runs on a browser of the machine i used to develop it. I want to run it from another machine via web, what should i do?
Thanks and regards,
Steve

Hi!
On your develop machine open the formsweb.cfg in %developer_home%\forms\server
with the text editor of your choice.
Scroll to the end of the file and create a new config entry:
This is for use with Jinitiator without webutil:
[your_config_name]
form=your_form_name.fmx
WorkingDirectory=x:\your_fmx_path
lookAndFeel=oracle
# leave userid empty to force manual login
userid=user/password@database
baseHTMLjinitiator=basejini.htm
archive_jini=frmall_jinit.jarTo call your application from the other client machine use
*{noformat}http://developer_machine:port/forms/frmservlet?config=your_config_name{noformat}*

Forms 10g 10.1.2.3 with Microsoft Internet Explorer 8.0 in Win 7 64bit

Hi all
i am not able to open the application forms developed with forms 10g(10.1.2.3 ) in IE8.
I am able to open it from the same client using google chrome or Firefox 3.6.
JRE is 1.6 update 33.
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
Kreshnik

HI
this is my formsweb.cfg. I think it is OK since i can magae to open the forms from FF 3.5 and Chrome.
the problem is with IE 8 that is it certified for forms 10.1.2.3 version
thanks and regards

OC4J Instance included in Forms 10g R2 NOT Stable

I am able to deploy a form for testing on WIndows 2003 Server.

I can run the Form initially but not after it has been deployed for about 8 hours. Is it true that OC4J supplied in Forms 10g R2 is only for testing purpose. How could I deploy the form in a more stable environment?

Yes it is true.
OC4J included in your iDS 10g is only for test or develop envrionment.
Its basic function is to make your builder tool ready to test your forms and module as well as your reports.
Just because iDS 10g its a web tool and it needs a web server to execute. So OC4J emulate the iAS (Internet Application Server) and give you the opportunity to TEST your modules without having a iAS.

Forms 10g demos

I have installed Forms 10g with the complete suite and would like to check some demos.
When can we use the 10g demos ?
Regards
Friedhold

Friedhold,
the Forms10g Demos should be up on OTN as soon as possible. Grant Ronald was out of office this week and will load the samples up as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, if you don't mind a hack, here's how you can get the Forms9i demos working (actually this is how I got them working on my laptop - and tehy still do)
1. Create the directory Oracle9iDS under the <10gIDS Home> --> <10gIDS
HOME>\j2ee\Oracle9iDS\config and copy the file default-web-site.xml from
the <10gIDS HOME>\j2ee\<IDS HOME NAME>\config
2. Start OC4J
3. Run the installer for the demos
4. Copy default-web-site.xml from <10gIDS HOME>\j2ee\Oracle9iDS\config
to <10gIDS HOME>\j2ee\<IDS HOME NAME>\config
5. Copy orion-web.xml from <10gIDS
HOME>\j2ee\Oracle9iDS\application-deployments\forms90demo\forms90demo to
<10gIDS HOME>\j2ee\<IDS HOME
NAME>\application-deployments\forms90demo\forms90demo
6. re-start OC4J
7. Delete <IDS HOME>\j2ee/Oracle9iDS/config
The work for me this way but weren't QA tested (as the 10g demos are). So use the hack at your own risk.

BI GRAPHS IN ORACLE FORMS 10G

AFTER FINDING SOLUTION TO MAKE GRAPHS CUSTOMIZATION IN ORACLE FORMS 10G, I was suggested to use BIGRAPH so installed all package(formsgraph.jar and whole demo package) and I configured properly all my files. But graph.fmx which exist in demo when run on browser does not display any graph on bean area it might be as no data retreived or data not populated due to bug in fmb . I made new temp.fmb by only creating single item and bean on canvas. On validating item I wrote following syntax.
BEGIN
     IF (:BLOCK1.TEXT_ITEM5 = ' ') THEN
     message('validating');
     set_custom_property('block1.BeanArea1',1,'GRAPHTYPE','HORIZONTAL_BAR');
set_custom_property('block1.BeanArea1',1,'ENABLE_TOOLTIPS','ALL');
SET_CUSTOM_PROPERTY('block1.BeanArea1',1,'SET_DELIMITER',',');
SET_CUSTOM_PROPERTY('block1.BeanArea1',1,'ADD_ROWDATA','Europe,Sales,25000');
SET_CUSTOM_PROPERTY('block1.BeanArea1',1,'ADD_ROWDATA','USA,Sales,70000');
SET_CUSTOM_PROPERTY('block1.BeanArea1',1,'ADD_ROWDATA','Europe,Taxes,2500');
SET_CUSTOM_PROPERTY('block1.BeanArea1',1,'ADD_ROWDATA','USA,Taxes,2500');
SET_CUSTOM_PROPERTY('block1.BeanArea1',1,'ADD_ROWDATA','Europe,Savings,22500');
SET_CUSTOM_PROPERTY('block1.BeanArea1',1,'ADD_ROWDATA','USA,Savings,67500');
SET_CUSTOM_PROPERTY('block1.BeanArea1',1,'ADD_DATA_TO_GRAPH','');
SET_CUSTOM_PROPERTY('block1.BeanArea1',1,'ADD_ROWDATA','UK,Taxes,67500');
set_custom_property('block1.BeanArea1',1,'SHOW_GRAPH','');
     END IF;
END;
Still surprise as forms open successfully on Web browser but no chart displayed. I am really fade up as I required lot of time to install demo version in my original oracle 10g software. My boss say how can new version have no features of graphics. I can not tell or say to buy that oracle graphics are customized in Oracle 11g.
If anybody have solution for above, please reply.
Thanks,
Prashant

Hello Omama,
Problem of Bi Graphs have been solved by running url with extension as config=Bigraph. For my next problem in graph of 10g I am going to post new thread as BI Graphs does not serve my problem. Anyway Thanks.

Prashant

Sysfader: iexplore.exe - Application Error in Forms 10g

Hi,
I am new to Oracle Forms 10g. When I tried to run the Form, it is giving me an Error saying that
*"The Instruction at "0x06130b58" referenced memory at "0x00000054". The memory could not be "read".*
I am unable to run any Form.
Somebody help me out in this regard.
Thansk in advance :)

Please always mention 4 digit version numbers (e.g. 10.1.2.0.2) as well as Operation System, Browser and Java Versions.
Just taking a lucky guess here, but if you are using the default config of forms 10.1.2 on a nowadays OS you have a combo of JInit and IE8 which isn't supposed to work and most likely to crash. If this is the case then use a current Sun JPI instead: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/forms/documentation/forms-jre-131772.pdf
If this is not the case then...well...you might give us a more deeper insight in what you do so we can get an idea what's going wrong.
cheers

How to download and install webutil in FORMS 10G 10.1.2.0.2

Where i find all the step to
how to download and install webutil in FORMS 10G 10.1.2.0.2
i DON'T FIND NOTHING OF VERY GOOD TO FOLLOW !!!

hi
u do not need to install any webutil in R2 u just need to configure few things.
please read the following notes and try to configure.
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: [OraHome] 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
[OraHome] 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
[JacobStage] is the folder where you extracted Jacob, and will end in ...\jacob_18
     cd [JacobStage]
     copy jacob.jar [OraHome]\forms\java\.
     copy jacob.dll [OraHome]\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 [OraHome]\jdk\bin to the PATH:
     set PATH=[OraHome]\jdk\bin;%PATH%
Sign the files, and check the output for success:
     [OraHome]\forms\webutil\sign_webutil [OraHome]\forms\java\frmwebutil.jar
     [OraHome]\forms\webutil\sign_webutil [OraHome]\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 [OraHome]\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/[password]@[connectstring]
     @[OraHome]\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 [OraHome]\forms\server\default.env, and append [OraHome]\jdk\jre\lib\rt.jar
to the CLASSPATH entry.
6) Start the OC4J instance
7) 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.
8) 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).
9) 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
10) Run your form.

EBS R12 Extend Oracle Applications: Forms 10g

Hi ,
I am practicing to develop forms in EBS R12. I am copying fmbs to my windows to edit
my forms. I am using developer forms 10g and I am following this steps:
- Copy all pll files, TEMPLATE.fmb & APPSTAND.fmb from $AU_TOP/resource to your local pc (C:\ABC)
- Add (C:\ABC) to FORMS_PATH in the registry
- Close/Open Forms Builder
- Open the form
I am opening the TEMPLATE.fmb on my windows but I encounter these errors:
FRM-10102: Cannot attach PL/SQL library APPCORE. This library attachment will be lost if the module is saved.
FRM-10102: Cannot attach PL/SQL library APPDAYPK. This library attachment will be lost if the module is saved.
FRM-10102: Cannot attach PL/SQL library VERT. This library attachment will be lost if the module is saved.
FRM-10102: Cannot attach PL/SQL library GHR. This library attachment will be lost if the module is saved.
FRM-10102: Cannot attach PL/SQL library PSAC. This library attachment will be lost if the module is saved.
FRM-10102: Cannot attach PL/SQL library OPM. This library attachment will be lost if the module is saved.
FRM-10102: Cannot attach PL/SQL library APPCORE. This library attachment will be lost if the module is saved.
I check the FORMS_PATH and the directory containing these .pll is existing.
And some of the .pll were able to attached like:
GLOBE.pll,JE,FNDSQF,JL,JA,PQH_GEN,CUSTOM,VERT1,VERT2,VERT3,VERT4,VERT5
Please help....thanks

Hi again,
I found some tutorial in the net :) and some install requirements are:
Installation steps
============
This sample dialog need database objects to run.
All the necessary objects are provided in the tutoforms10g.zip file shipped with the article.
This zip file contains 2 sub directories:
/config that contains the configuration files.
/scripts that contains the Sql script files to create the database objects.
Download the tutoforms10g.zip file
Unzip the tutoforms10g.zip file under your <DEVSUITE_HOME>/forms/ directory.
Create a new user in your database
With Sql*plus or SqlDeveloper, run the /scripts/install.sql scriptnote : because this demo use the Webutil functions, the Oracle user where you have created these objects must have the WEBUTIL_DB package compiled or a grant EXECUTE to this package if it is present in another schema.
Under the /tutoforms/ directory compile all the source modulesYou can use the compile_all.bat file located in the same directory to compile all objects at once.e.g. compile_all user/password@instance
Edit the /tutoforms/config/tutforms10g.env file to indicate your own settings (in blue in this example)#oracle home adapt this value to your own setting
ORACLE_HOME=D:\Dev10gR2
FORMS_PATH=%ORACLE_HOME%\forms\tutoforms
ORACLE_PATH=%ORACLE_HOME%\forms\tutoforms
FORMS_TRACE_PATH=%ORACLE_HOME%\forms\tutoforms
CLASSPATH=D:\Dev10gR2\forms\java\frmwebutil.jar;%ORACLE_HOME%\jlib\debugger.jar;%ORACLE_HOME%
\forms\tutoforms\FormsGraph.jar;%ORACLE_HOME%\forms\tutoforms\myIcons.jar;
# webutil config file path
WEBUTIL_CONFIG=D:\Dev10gR2\forms\server\webutil.cfg
Edit the /tutoforms/config/ add_to_formsweb.cfg file to set your own database connect string (in blue in thisexample)
lookAndFeel=Oracle
colorScheme=blaf
logo=no
#don't forget to put your own database connexion
userid=tutoforms10g/tutoforms10g@XE
Copy the /tutoforms/config/tutforms10g.env to the /forms/server directory
add the /tutoforms/config/ add_to_formsweb.cfg at the end of your /forms/server/formsweb.cfg file
Then, you can start the demo by indicating the new [tutoforms10g] formsweb.cfg section.http://machine:8890/forms/frmservlet?config=tutoforms10g
============
What I dont understand here is the WEBUTIL_DB package.
I tried to search my 10g database with it:
Select * from dba_objects where object_name like '%WEBUTIL%';
But no rows selected. Where can I find this package please?
Thanks a lot
