Forms 10g Patchset 2 - release date?

We're currently looking to migrate from Forms 6i to 10g,
but have clients other than Windows, and so deploy using
the Sun Java Plugin (JPI) rather than JInitiator.
The "Oracle Forms 10g: Client Platform Support" document
says that the JPI support is targetted for patchset 2.
Does anyone have any indication of when this is due?

I'm also waiting for patchset 2 for the exact same reason. As soon as that's released we'll finalize the migration from (client/server) 6i to 10g using the Sun JRE

Forms 10g - Oracle 11g DB - Date Format Error - Urgent

Hi All,
We are migrating forms 6i to forms 10g.Data Base is 9i to 11g Migration.
In 10g forms pre-form trigger ,i have statement
:head.yr_st_dt := to_date(sc.get_property('ps.yr_st_dt'),'MON DD YYYY HH:MI:SSPM');
In 6i ,it is working fine,the :head.yr_st_dt=22-SEP-09.
In 1og forms with 11g Database, I am getting the below error
frm-40735:PRE-FORM trigger raised unhandled exception ORA-01843
It seems invalid month.
In 9i ,the NLS_DATE_FORMAT is DD-MON-RR.In 11g also same.
Thanks in Advance,
Regards,
Shan

user642745: In the list of forum topics, the fourth topic down is this:
Before posting on this forum please read. Within that post there is a recommendation: "Also read the 10 Commandments on OTN forum posting." with this link: http://blogs.oracle.com/shay/2007/03/02
Please read and follow step 6, "Get a name".
You now have 101 posts to your "user642745" name. When you write, it is difficult to distinguish between your post and the original poster's since you both have a similar number as your names.
user648338: It is clear you do not understand how Oracle handles dates. Depending on the NLS_DATE_FORMAT and NLS_LANG for the session you are running, you will get different results when you display your sc.get_property('ps.yr_st_dt') output.
The fact that you are even trying to execute the command:
select to_date('01-MAY-09','MON DD YYYY HH:MI:SSPM') from dual;shows that you do not understand standard date processing.
Internally, Oracle stores ALL dates in a 7-byte format that includes both date AND time.
The fact that you are getting results like 01-MAY-09 just means that your session is running with NLS_DATE_FORMAT set to DD-MON-YY. It does NOT mean that the date is stored that way.
Your entire problem is caused by the fact that the system on which your old Oracle 9i -- Forms 6i environment has its NLS_DATE_FORMAT (and possibly NLS_LANG) set differently than on your Oracle 11g -- Forms 10g environment.
If you can set your new environment the same as the old, your trouble will go away. Here is how you determine what the values of those environment variables are. Run this in SQL Plus:
select * from nls_session_parameters
where parameter in('NLS_LANGUAGE','NLS_TERRITORY',
'NLS_DATE_FORMAT','NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE');Be aware, though, that it is possible for your Forms environment to change the settings only for the Forms sessions, so what you get from SQL Plus may not be the same.

Forms 10.1.2 release date

Hi,
Grant can you tell when the relase will be out and what news features are included.
ThankS
Jean-Yves

As Frank pointed out, we are close to release. The build is moving to manufacturing (which means final integration test and cutting the release). I'm afraid I can't give a date, the problem is that if we miss that date people get disappointed ;o) but it is in the final stage
Regarding new features. Much of the work for this release was update the RSF (required support files) to 10g.
There have been big performance improvements through the Java Importer and webutil is now integrated as part of the developer suite.
We also added some new features for performance tracking, so you can diagnose where your application is spending its time...and of course, there are a large number of bug fixes.
Hope this helps.

Form 10g not returning any data

Hi,
I have created a simple data-block based on a view in a seeded Oracle R12 form. When i run the form, I can see all fields on canvas but as blank. Pre-query trigger fires, on-select fires, on-fetch too fires. But Post-query trigger doesn't fire.
View has 2 rows, so as per my understanding Post-query should fire 2 times. But it doesn't.
When i run the same query on view in Pre-query trigger and get the count. It returns me 2.
Am i missing any setup or property on data block.
Thanks!!
Harleen

Harleen,
As you are working on a EBS R12 form, I suggest you post your question in the General EBS Discussion forum. EBS Forms must comply with Oracle Development Standards and there are specific objects that must be included in your form. If you haven't already, you might want to take a look at the Oracle Applications Documentation library. Select your EBS version and then scroll to the Standards section and review the following documents:
<ul>
<li>Oracle Applications Developer's Guide
<li>Oracle Applications User Interface Standards for Forms-Based Products
<li>Oracle Application Framework Personalization Guide
</ul>

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:#

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?

Release date for next version of Forms?

Has anyone heard of a release date for the next version of Forms (10.1.2.0.2 or whatever it will be)? I may be starting a major Forms project shortly and I'd like to use the most current version of Forms with the current Application Server.

We are looking at mid summer this year. Depending on your start times it may be as well starting on 10g (9.0.4) as there is a long support cycle for it.

If you have an "urgent" issue, I highly encourage you to contact Oracle Support. The forum probably isn't going to be your best source for "urgent" issues.

This will be especially important if you are new to any of the products as you will likely need documentation and/or product updates in order to ensure the most stable environment possible.
There are a few publicly available documents which may help to get you started. In any case, these are just examples. They may or may not work to your liking. Further, in some cases they may not work at all. Many of the examples online are often outdated and do not function exactly as documented against other versions. Here is one:

Additional documentation for using WebUtil is included in the Forms Builder online help. An update to the Builder Help files can be downloaded from here. Be sure to carefully review the included ReadMe before attempting to use them.

PL/SQL engine in Forms 10g Release 2

Hello,
Can anyone tell me if in Forms 10g Release 2 I can use these?
- Native dinamic SQL
- Indexed arrays by VARCHAR2 instead of BINARY_INTEGER
Thanks

Hello,
1. EXECUTE IMMEDIATE is as server side instruction, so it cannot be used within a Forms pl/sql block.
2. Yes, Indexed arrays by VARCHAR2 work fine in 10gR2 ;o)
Francois

Does anyone know the official release date of the initial version of 10G?

Does anyone know the official release date of the initial version of 10G, I cant find it anywhere.

There's no general answer, it depends on the platform. On Metalink this information can be found under Certification & Availability.

Calling BO XI Release 2 from Oracle Forms 10g

Post Author: alexre
CA Forum: Integrated Solutions
Hello everybody,
We are going to migrate the Oracle Database and the Oracle forms application to 10g to one of our clients but he wants continue using the BO so he is going to migrate BO v 4.1.6 to XI Release 2.
Because I am not a BO specialist I would like to know
Is it possible to publish the BO report on the WEB?
Can I call the report directly from Oracle Forms 10g (WEB) and pass the parameters?
Can you advice any documents related to this topic?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Alex

Alex,
Your first question leads to a "it depends" answer. If you want to publish static content, then the report can be ran and saved as PDF, then that PDF can be made available as a link in another web server. If you want to publish dynamic content, then "no", but read on because you'll see in answer to #2 and #3 it becomes "yes".
Your second question about calling the report directly from Oracle Forms and pass the parameters is a resounding yes! However, you will need to have an enduring knowledge of a concept called "opendocument" within the Business Intelligence tool as well as an authentication strategy to make it all work.
Here is the answer to your third question, please following this link: http://support.businessobjects.com/communityCS/TechnicalPapers/be_xi_r2_opendocument.pdf.asp
Good luck!
