Forms 10g keyboard help

I'm using Forms 10g rel 2 (10.1.2.0.2). I have several Key-Fx triggers defined in my form. They are defined at the form level, block level & item level. All of them have the display in keyboard help property = yes & a description of what the key does in the keyboard help text property. However when I run the form & do a show keys only the Key-Fx trigger at the form level shows up in the help even if the focus is in the block or item where the others Key-Fx triggers are located. The triggers work but they just don't display in the help. Anyone know what the problem is or is this a bug?

I discovered that the help text is limited to 29 characters. If you enter 30 characters it will still display the key but with no keyboard text. If you enter more than 30 characters then the key will not be displayed in help at all.

Forms 10g FORMS_PATH help

Hi,
I have the following problem:
O/S Windows XP
Forms 10g
formsweb.cfg has:
envFile=default.env
and default.env has:
FORMS_PATH=C:\DevSuiteHome_1\forms;
C:\DevSuiteHome_1\forms\project\fmb;
C:\DevSuiteHome_1\forms\project\pll;
Why, when I put a pll in the pll folder and then create a form in the fmb folder and attach the pll (removing the path) does it not find the path of the pll.
any ideas?

Ok from evrythign else I've read I should be changing an already existing Key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Oracle\KEY_DevSuiteHome
which I don't have.
I created one and added FORMS_PATH as advised, but it still dosn't work.
why o why is there no key?

Oracle Forms 10g Trigger help

Dear Techies,
I have a query in form triggers : when User enters a cost center and transaction year n go to lines a trigger should fire and query the existing transaction if it has the same cost center and transaction year. Please check the below detail explanation.
Headers block : transaction no , cost center and transaction year
Lines block : project no project code task and amount
Example : Headers : cost center : 232428 Transaction Year : 2012 Transaction no : 0000111 (Sequence generator which will effect after we enter d lines and save the form)
Lines : Project no : 455 Project code : xyz task : 788 Amount : 15500.
I have saved the form with above details. Next time I reopened the form and entered the same cost center : 232428 Transaction Year : 2012 (Same as above transaction) and
when i go to lines (click) a trigger should fire and query the existing transaction (0000111) since the transaction 0000111 has same cost center and year.
Please help me how can i achieve this.
Thanks and Regards,
Lakshmi

Creating Descriptive & Key FLEXFIELDS in Forms 10g

Hello everyone,
I want to create Descriptive & Key Flexfields in Oracle Forms 10g,Kindly help........

A FLEXFIELD IS A FIELD MADE UP OF SUB–FIELDS, OR SEGMENTS. THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF FLEXFIELDS: KEY FLEXFIELDS AND DESCRIPTIVE FLEXFIELDS.
KEY FLEXFIELDS:
I HAVE A COLUMN CALLED ADDRESS(SINGLE FIELD),WHEN I KEEP MY CURSOR ON THIS FIELD AND PRESS ENTER,IT POP'S UP A WINDOW WITH ALL NECESSARY FIELDS CORRESPONDING TO ADDRESS LIKE,DOOR-NO.,STREET NAME,CITY ETC.... WITH AN OK & CANCEL BUTTON.
ONCE I GIVE THE VALUES ACCORDINGLY IN THE ADDRESS FIELD AND CLICK OK BUTTON IT STORES ALL THE VALUES IN WINDOW TO THE ADDRESS FIELD.
DESCRIPTIVE FLEXFIELDS:
DESCRIPTIVE FLEXFIELDS LETS YOU ADD ADDITIONAL FIELDS TO THE FORM IN ORDER TO TRACK ADDITIONAL INFORMATION NEEDED BY THE BUSINESS, THAT WOULD NOT BE CAPTURED BY THE STANDARD FORM. DESCRIPTIVE FLEXFIELDS CAN BE CONTEXT SENSITIVE, WHERE THE INFORMATION YOUR APPLICATION STORES DEPENDS ON OTHER VALUES YOUR USERS ENTER IN OTHER PARTS OF THE FORM.
A DESCRIPTIVE FLEXFIELD APPEARS ON A FORM AS A SINGLE–CHARACTER, UNNAMED FIELD ENCLOSED IN SQUARE BRACKETS [ ]. EACH FIELD OR SEGMENT IN A DESCRIPTIVE FLEXFIELD HAS A PROMPT AND CAN HAVE A SET OF VALID VALUES
THIS CONCEPT IS USED FREQUENTLY IN ORACLE APPLICATIONS, WHICH I WANT TO IMPLEMENT IN FORMS 10G.I BELIEVE WITH YOUR EXPERTISE I WILL BE ABLE TO AHIEVE IT.

Forms 10g, OAS and Web Services.... help!

Hello,
We're in the middle of a project that was originally supposed to be a (simple :D) upgrade of an existing Forms 6i application to a Forms 10g application.
During the course of the project we have encountered various problems with the older forms (shakes fist at Headstart code...) and as a side effect have had to upgrade our OAS to 10.1.2.0 (10gR2). That's fine, however we have recently been looking into replacing the C++ code that the old application uses to connect to SAP with a new Web Services system, using the SAP Adapter and WSDLs and BPEL and all the rest of it (steep learning curve).
In setting that up it seems it would be advisable for us to upgrade to 10.1.3.x (or "get a headache" said Oracle Support...) However, I now read (in an article from July last year) that Forms and Reports are not supported in 10.1.3.x...
So, do we ask our DBAs to go ahead and install the SOA suite 10.1.3.x? And if so, do I need to do something else to support our !0gR2 forms? Or will they just work? Can we do a "clean" install of 10.1.3.x or do we upgrade the existing 10.1.2.0 system....? Colour me confused.
Help!
Thanks in advance
Dan

You are correct, Forms 10gR2 is the latest and is not available on the 10.1.3 stack. I am also not sure if you are talking about writing web services or just consuming them. However you have 2 main options.
you can install 10.1.2 and use 10.1.2 for Forms and use 10.1.2 for your web services - this should work ok but of course you are "handicapped" by only being able to use 10.1.2 features of BPEL and WS.
Next option, you can install 10.1.2 for running Forms and run a separate 10.1.3 for running BPEL and SOA suite - nothing wrong with that. And if you write a web service and deploy to 10.1.3 you can call that from Forms.
Example of calling an external web service from Forms
http://groundside.com/blog/GrantRonald?title=live_demo_of_sending_an_sms_from_forms&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/forms_modernization.html - calling a BPEL process is just like calling a web services

HELP! Forms 10g Windows Runtime Problem!!!

After I installed Forms 10g windows, I modified the configuration according to my Forms 9i configuration.
But when I open a form and run it, the runtime URL only refer to a temporary htm file which jumps to:
http://localhost:8890/forms90/f90servlet
I have to enter the query strings to run the form, like
http://localhost:8890/forms90/f90servlet?form=C:\webutil\forms\CIMS10g.fmx&userid=OSSCHINA/OSSCHINA@orcl&buffer_records=NO&debug_messages=NO&array=YES&query_only=NO&quiet=NO&RENDER=YES
So how can I make the proper configuration to auto-generate the correct query strings when running the form, just like what it is in Forms 9i?

Suicheng,
which configuration did you change and what do you mean by "when I open a form and run it".
Do you mean the preferences settings in the Forms builder ? There is a button to reset the URL used by the Forms builder to bring it back to the deault setting

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

Key Mapping in Forms 10g

Dear All,
I have migrated forms 3.0 in unix to forms 10g in windows 2003 server.
In my older version, '+' key is mapped to do COMMIT. I want to map the same key in forms 10g. i tried the same in my frmweb.res. Pls find the mapping done by me below.
*107 : 0 : "Add" : 36 : "Commit"*
This works fine.
The Issue is ... My cursor is in a text item .... I entered some data and press " + " key to save. The data is saved but at the same time the data in the text item is erased and + is getting replaced in the text item. I dont want my data to be erased and replaced with "+" symbol.
How to map the "+" just for COMMIT and should not replace the data in the text item ?
Can anyone help me to solve this issue...
Thanks in Advance
Sharf

Unfortunately, sometimes the role of the developer is to educate the user/management what can/can't and should/shouldn't be done. If I were in your postition, I would make every effort to educate the user/management this this is a REALLY bad idea and encourage them to use the standard key mapping or use a modifed key mapping that uses just the F-Keys.
The problem you have to overcome is that you have to not only tell Forms to do something different when the '+' key is pressed, but you have to have a listener in your application that is listening for the '+' key and supress the '+' character. To my knowledge, this cannot be done with native Forms built-ins. You would have to write your own Java solution (JavaBean or Pluggable Java Component [PJC]) to suppress the '+'. I have found that if you can provide the user/management with a cost estimate associated with the effort needed to code a particular feature. Once they realize the level effort and more importantly the cost associated with coding a particular feature, they typically will change their mind and see reason.
I know this is not what you wanted to hear, but I hope it will help anyway. :(

Oracle Forms 10G(tabbed canvasses not working the same as in Forms 6i)

Hi everyone,
I have a form which gets called from another form through a list of value. The called form(second form) has a group of tabbed canvases which get displayed depending on the parameters passed from the first form.
The Form is working prefectly fine in Forms 6i but when I converted the same form in to forms 10G it does not seem to work the same way. The tabbed canvasses are not getting displayed. I am manually having to press the execute query to get data displayed in the tabbed canvasses. I checked the parameters that are being passed and they are the same as that in Forms 6i.
Please let me know where my 10G Form is going wrong. Appreciate your help, please send me an email on [email protected]
Thanks

Re: Oracle Forms 10G not working as Oracle Forms 6i

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?
Regards

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.
