Forms 10g - Screen Resolution

I'm in the middle of a upgrade from oracle forms 6i to 10g. When the original system was built it was optimized for 800x600 screen resolution. Thankfully this resolution is now obsolite.
What would the standard for designing forms and how do you handle users with different resolutions using the system?

I think you are going to get a multitude of different answers to your question. Where I work, we've standardized on 1024x768, but only have an extensive survey was done to find out what the average resolution was for the users of our application. The majority of our users were at 1024x768 or higher. A very small percent were still running at 800x600, but many of these users were only at this resolution because they didn't know how tit. My recommendation to you would be to take the time to survey your users and find out what the average resolution is and then standardize on this resolution.
Hope this helps.

How to Edit the Title (file name) on forms 10g Screen.

Hi ,
How can one edit the Title ,and <(file name)> on forms 10g Screen ....
I tried editing through the forms module preperty palette , but could n't change the Title, or file name on forms menu screen ...
I guess , the entries are made through some other means...
Please let me know on how to do this .
Need a quicker reply ..
Thanks in Advance
Sanu

using the below code too not getting me the new names entered by me ... still the old title names are comingWhat do you mean by new nemes? It will return you the actual file name which is saved in phycical location and form name will return you the module name which displays when you open forms in builder.
Or you mean something else then its better to provide any example..like what is happening actually with you.

Forms 10g Screen flashing

We are currently upgrading our Oracle Forms 6i applications into Forms 10g. During this process, we have encountered a screen flashing issue.
The application is coded in such a way that there is one form that remains open and it keeps calling other forms one after the other in sequence depending upon the application flow selected by the user.
While doing this, when the application moves from one "Called Form" to another, the "Base Form" that was open, appears completely because the next "Called Form" is being loaded. This, to the user, will appear as a screen flash and distract/disturb them.
Note: This application was originally coded in 2.3 around 20 years ago and has been migrated since then without any major tuning. All forms in this application are heavily loaded with multiple canvases, items and triggers.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Its impossible to say what it could be without more information. I think you need to go thru the forms and find out what code is causing the flashing.
We have had a few flashing bugs thru the years but we have fixed all the ones we know about. If you cannot make the flashing go away by recoding your forms, please log a bug.
When you find out please post an entry here to help others in the future.

NB200-10G Screen resolution problem

Hi,
My new NB200 does not display the toolbar when booted. It is there, I think, because if I click wildly below the visible screen there is sometimes a reaction. This seems like a screen resolution issue. When the system boots, the windows theme is distorted, as if the resolution was for a bigger screen. I have tried every combination of screen resolution but it doesn't solve it.
Please help; this is totally destroying my pleasure at owning this new machine!
Many thanks
Satis

Hi,
I have a new NB200 and exactly the same thing has occurred: The NB200 booted up correctly (POST test BIOS screen OK), but when the display switched to Windows, the login dialog box was shifted down: From there on in, the task bar was not visible (but worked when pressing the windows hot key) and the desktop items were re-sorted. The Auto hide taskbar feature is disabled.
Rebooting the PC (Power down & restart) fixes the display problem about 50% of the time.
Did anyone resolve this issue?
Thanks - Richard.

Fom with Screen Resolution

Hi
I create form on Screen resolution 800 by 600 and when i try to run it on 1024 by 768 it is not apper completally .
Is there any way to make it run in any Resolution ??

you should check your monitor resolution and your graphic card resolution. But this issue more to the monitor, if you can find your PC model and monitor model please let me know.
mostly graphic card will adjust screen resolution based on monitor resolution, and for windows 8.1 if you able to installed it using this monitor, minimum requirement is 1024x768, so I believed both or your graphic card and monitor should have 1024x768 resolution
support or more
Waiting for your PC model or graphic card model (if you build this PC) and monitor model

Screen resolution in 10G and converison from 6i

Scenario is something like this:
We are converting forms from 6i to 10G.
We have designed forms in 6i for 1024x768 screen resolution. We don't have any issues in 6i for screen resolution of 1024x768.
We converted the form to 10G. Screen resolution is still 1024x768 in 10G. We are using separateFrame=true in formsweb.cfg to make sure we don't show the Applet in browser window. separateFrame=true opens the application in new window and this new window can use entire screen resolution.
Applet in new window is bigger than the screen resolution and we see scroll bars in main window when we open a child window. Obviously the applet is showing bigger footprint than client server form.
Why is this so? Is there a way to fix this?

If you will bring up a client-server form and a Web separate-frame form and compare them side-by-side, you can easily see the difference.
The height and width of the actual space used by the form is identical. In fact, in my comparison, both window widths are exactly the same number of pixels. I used snagit to compare the sizes.
However, if you compare the heights, you will see the difference. The web forms window has three bands above the actual Form canvas:
1. The main window bar with the java icon on the left, window title, and the three windows icons for minimize, maximize and close.
2. The pull-down menu choices on the left and the "Oracle" logo on the right. (Look-and-feel generic removes the Oracle logo, I believe.)
3. The Window0 bar, blank except an icon on the left (right click shows Restore, Move, Size,... CLose) and an icon on the right, which clicking causes the inside window to maximize or restore.
The Client/Server window has two bands:
1. Main window bar, similar to 1 above, except the icon on the left is a Forms icon instead of java.
2. Combination of 2 and 3 above: Contains both the icons in 3 above plus the pull-down menu choices. It is also about 8 pixels shorter than the web forms bar 2.
In addition, comparing the bar with the message and status lines at the bottom of both versions, you can see that the web forms bar is about 9 more pixels higher.
It is possible to position the Window0 at a y_pos of about -20 to regain some of the lost height (this causes the third bar described above to be hidden behind the second). But you cannot get all the height back, because of the additional height taken by Web Forms for the second bar and the bottom area.
So what is left is to reduce the height of the canvas area used by your forms by about 20 pixels.
I believe these heights are determined by the java runtime used by web forms rather than Oracle, so there is nothing Oracle can do about it.

Designing Forms to match Monitor's Screen Resolution

Hello folks,
Just wondering. Does anyone know Oracle built-in procedures or
functions to make sure Forms will be displayed appropriately
according to screen resolution.

Hi
Upto my knowledge there is no any built-in avilable to know
the screen resolution. In the design time itself, the developer
has to decide about the coordination system for the form module.
It depends on to which platform the you are going to deploy the
system. If it should support both character and GUI mode then it
is advisible to select charcter cell mode.
If it is only GUI mode, it's upto you.

Screen resolution problem in Forms 9i.

I have developed an ERP using Forms 9i. I have kept my development workstation on 1024x768 screen resolution. This works fine on all the clients, which have the same resolution. But, if I change resolution on my development machine to 640x480 or 600x800, all the layout in runtime gets spoiled. I have tried to set the width and height of the applet in percentage(e.g. 100%) in FormsWeb.cfg, but nothing seems to work.
I wonder if there is any way that Form layout can be set in the applet like it is done in HTML, which is very simple and straight-forward. Any help would be appreciated.

No, there is no built in mechanism for re-laying out the screen at runtime. That does not stop you from writing your own though. You have pretty much everything you need in the various set__Property built-ins to change field position, sizes and fonts.

Screen Resolution Problem in Forms 6i at runtime

Hi,
I have developed my application in Forms 6i in Windows Screen resolution 800 X 600, it run ok in this resolution but when I changed the resolution of screen the application is not display on full screen.
So tell me the solution of this problem.
Shahzad

Shahzad,
Do NOT try to expand your form to fill the entire screen. In a windowing environment, most users sometimes need to see corners and peices of their other running applications. If yours expands to cover everything, it will not be appreciated.

Generating a form for a different screen resolution

Hi
Say I use a screen resolution of 1024x768, but I need to generate forms for a 800x600 resolution.
How Designer knows how much screen it can use to layout the items? Should I generate forms in the target resolution, or somehow can I set this?
Thanks!
Luis Cabral

Designer does not 'know' what resolution you are generating for. For 800x600 resolution, the maximum width and height are about 80 x 57, give or take a few. I suggest sticking with these numbers and/or tweak with them for best results in your deployment environment.

System Screen Resolution

Hello All,
How to get the system screen resolution in oracle forms 10g.
The purpose is the set the canvas into center of the browser window.
Thanks
Akshat

Hello,
Look at the inline doc for Get_Application_Property(DISPLAY_WIDTH | DISPLAY_HEIGHT). Be careful that the coordinates given are related to the current form coordinate system.

DB does not look the same in different screen resolutions

Hi All -
I have built my dashboards using the Windows screen resolution 1024 x 768, and exported the dashboard into powerpoint. With this resolution the dashboard looks normal. I then changed my Windows screen resolution to 1280 x 1024, opened the ppt slideshow and my X-axis labels are being cut off. The labels are written vertically (ex: 06/09/09).
Does anyone know why this could be happening?
Thanks!
Tracy

I am experiencing the exact same thing. The width of the tabs in the layout editor is varied depending on the length of the text. However, at run-time, the width of the tabs is fixed, causing the tabs to be wider than the window and a set of VCR buttons to appear in the upper right corner of the canvas. Personally, I think this is a Forms bug. Why would they intentionally let us set the width to variable at design-time only to force a fixed width at run-time?

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.

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?
Regards

Batch procedure in Forms 10g, calling rdf and send by mail

Hi all,
I need your advice regarding my task: i have a table with invoices of some clients. I have created a report in Oracle Reports 10g R2, so to have a pdf with all the data from this table.
I have created a form in Forms 10g R2, displaying in a screen one field, where the user can choose the date of invoice. Then i will query by that date all my invoices in that table, and then i want to create a procedure in Forms, so that for every line in that table with the invoice date just chosen i will run HOST(rwrun ... all my parameters).
My questions:
1. I need to read some more about how to create a custom xml so to pass to my rwrun, and depending on the records fetched in my cursors in Forms 10g, i will pass a xml variable to my reports, so i will get the data from Forms 10g in the report created in Oracle Reports 10g. Is there any way that i can grep the errors? I need to create some insertions based on succes on failure, how can i accomplish this?
2. Is the above described scenario way to complicated to loop throuh a cursor, create a pdf, and mail the pdf until the cursor is totally fetched? Do you recommend me a simpler way to accomplish this task?
Thank you so much,
Michael.

Hello,
I have a report with all my clients, with their email addresses in the same report. Each client as unique account number or invoice number.
So i want to burst and distribute each invoice to the corresponding client:
1. I have set REPEAT ON: INVOICE in oracle reports.
2. From Oracle Reports, i click on Distribution list, and in the DESNAME i type email_address (which is the column from the table with the invoices).
3. Then, File >> Distribute. Says: distribution completed succesfully, but nothing happens.
Question:
1. Where am i mistaking?
2. Is there any log activity file that i could see what the application is doing, step by step?
Thank you,
Michael

Progress bar in forms-10g???

hi there....can I use a Progress bar in forms-10g??? Previously I've been using an OCX for progress bar. But as forms-10g dont support ocx so is there any replacement in form of java bean, pjc or anything else???
2ndly can I open my browser window running my forms application in Full Screen mode anyway?

Dear....Demo for progress bar on Oracle site shows only the code which we should write in a procedure and behind a push button to start and run progress bar. But what is n where is that progress bar in actual? is it a text field or what? is there no sample fmb of this progress bar like that of Timer Bean and autocompletion combo box???
