Forms 10g window size in unix

Hi, when I migrated from 6i to 10g I added some code to maximize window size in When-New-form-Instance trigger of the form. It works in windows but when I try to run the form in Unix the window size is not big enough to see the whole form. i tried to change the width and height properties of the window1 but still not working. after researching the forum I found out that i should change the width and height properties in formsweb.cfg. In formsweb.cfg the width is 750 and the height is 600 should I change those numbers ? to what? and would it miss the rest of my application? or not? Please let me know it is urgent... Thanks in advance for helping...

Just like on Windows, the Developer suite will be installed in a similar directory structure on Unix. In order to change the UNIX file, you will need to be logged in as ORACLE on the UNIX server or your account will have to have Read/Write priv's on the formsweb.cfg file. First, will need to navigate to the ORACLE_HOME directory (typically it will be something like: /usr/oracle/ias10g/ depending on how it was installed on your server). Once in the ORACLE_HOME directory it is just like your workstation. The "formsweb.cfg" will be found in the /forms/server/ directory. If you put that all together, based on my example, the path to the formsweb.cfg would be: /usr/oracle/ias10g/forms/server/formsweb.cfg. If you have made it this far, I recommend checking the file permissions on the file.
Type:
ls -l *.cfgHere is an example from my test system.
-rw------- 1 oracle dba 22286 Aug 21 07:43 formsweb.cfgAs you can see in my example, the formsweb.cfg file is owned by the "oracle" user and "dba" group. Only the Oracle user has privileges to Read or Write to the file.
In this example, both the owner and the group have read write priv's to the file.
-rw-rw---- 1 oracle dba 22286 Aug 21 07:43 formsweb.cfgMore than likely, you will need your UNIX administrator to modify the file for you.
Hope this helps.

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

Web forms seperate window size

I am on a team supporting a forms application that is in the
process of moving to the web. we use the seperateFrame="true"
parameter to bring up the forms in a window outside the
browser. However, the window is too small and must be resized
manually. Is there a way to have the window automatically open
with a large enough size? It is so small that the login box
isn't even visible. Thanks.

Hello,
in the Oracle Application Server_v4.0.7 you must generate a
CWeb - cartrigde for your forms with a separate frame.
In the height and wight values for the frame set your size.
It works very well.
All the best

Web Forms 10g font size

Hi,
I've upgraded my Forms 6i client/server application to 10g but when I run my application, fonts's size is too small!
The application server is installed on a Linux OS.
Does anyone knows how do I increase font size?
Thank you in advance,
Carla Almeida

You must update the FontEntry.class in f90all\oracle\forms\engine\FontEntry.class
1.and modify the getMappingTable() method with linux client OS :
/* customize code start here */
if(s1.equals("linux"))
s = s + "_linux";
/* customize code end here */
2. create new java class named :FontMapping_linux.class
mapping customize font size with linux client just for example :
public static final int sDialog[] = {
8, 8, 9, 9, 10, 10, 12, 12, 12, 13,
15, 15, 17, 17, 18, 18, 20, 21, 22, 23,

54, 55, 56, 56, 56, 57, 57, 58, 59, 60,
61, 63
3 . put updated & new class in path and re-jar and sign f90all.jar with new keystore , put f90all.jar in /AS904/forms90/java
4. add new parameter in /AS904//forms90/server/basejpi.htm :
<PARAM NAME="mapFonts" VALUE="yes"> in object tag
and
mapFonts="yes" in embed tag

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?

Forms 10g Installation issue on windows 7 Professional service pack 1

hi
I am trying to install oracle forms 10g 64 bit windows 7 Professional service pack 1 ..
Below are 2 files that i am using ..
ds_windows_x86_101202_disk1.zip (626,122,752 bytes)
ds_windows_x86_101202_disk2.zip (236,880,881 bytes)
But it failed but the error is ..
Checking operating system version: must be 4.0, 5.0, 5.1 or 5.2. Actual 6.1 Failed <<<<
just wondering if there are any workaround ..

Christian is right - Forms 10g R2 (version 10.1.2.0.2) is not certified for installation on Windows 7. You must apply a Forms 10g R2 patch to bring the version to 10.1.2.3.0 for it to be certified. You must have a My Oracle Support account to obtain the patch.
Now, to your question - is there a workaround; the answer is yes. There are known issues with this installer. I'll list them and their workaround.
1. The Oracle installer checks for a specific set of Windows versions rather than check for a minimum Windows version.
Workaround: Right-click the Installer and select Properties. Click the Compatibility tab and click the checkbox: Run this program in compatibility mode for: Windows XP SP3).
2. The Oracle Installer can't detect Windows Managed Virtual Memory (VM).
Workaround: You must temporarily change the Virtual Memory settings and specify specific Initial and Maximum sizes. See this Microsoft article for more information on changing VM settings. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/change-the-size-of-virtual-memory
This change will require you to restart your computer. After you have successfully installed Oracle Forms 10g, you can restore the original VM settings.
3. The Oracle installer MUST be installed as an "Administrator".
Workaround: Windows 7 uses "Least privileged user" so you must right-click the Installer and select the Compatibility tab. Click the "Run this program as an administrator" checkbox.
4. Not a Oracle installer issue, but you will have to install the 32-bit version of the Oracle Java Runtime Environment (JRE) (1.6.0 - not 1.7.0) because Oracle Forms is a 32-bit application so it will not be able to use the 64-bit JRE.
Run the Oracle installer and it should now install succesfully.

Hello All,
I have been trying to apply patch 7047034 by using Opatch Universal Installer (Opatch 6880880). But I have not been able to do this. The main reason of applying this patch is to enable my forms 10.1.2.0.2 to be upgraded to 10.1.2.3., so that it can run on windows vista with Internet explorer 7.
At the momment it does not run the forms it just show a grey page after trying to run the Test.fmx form.
If I try to run any other form it comes up with an ORA-12560 :TNS: Protocol Adapter Error.
When I click on the ok button, it comes up with the login page. When I try to re-login without entring the connect identifier it comes up with thesame error message ORA-12560 :TNS: Protocol Adapter Error.
But when i try relogin using a connect identifier it comes up with ORA-12154: TNS: Could not resolve connect identifier specified. Then a grey page is all i see on the screen. I found that a bit strange since am already logged on, on forms 10g. Why is is it still asking me for further credentials.
Having read several literature from the forum i thought the patch was what i needed. And this is what i did to apply the patch.
After setting environment variable ORACLE_HOME
C:\DevSuiteHome_1>set ORACLE_HOME=c:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1
C:\DevSuiteHome_1>cd opatch
C:\DevSuiteHome_1\OPatch>set ACTIVE_STATE__PERL=TRUE
C:\DevSuiteHome_1\OPatch>opatch apply c:\DevSuiteHome_1\OPatch\p7047034_10105_WI
NNT
"OPatch could not detect Perl. Please set PERL5LIB appropriately and invoke Perl
"OPatch is certified with Perl Version 5.6.1."
"Invoke OPatch manually using the following command format:"
" <path to Perl>/perl <path to OPatch>/opatch.pl <patch command> [options]"
"You can use the following command format to view help information:"
" <path to Perl>/perl <path to OPatch>/opatch.pl [<patch command>] -help"
OPatch returns with error code = 0
I also noticed that the PERL directory has version 5.8.3 instead of the 5.6.1
I had gone on the perl website to download perl 5.6.1, but i found the following
Latest stable version of ActivePerl 5.6: 5.6.1 build 638
Gzipped tarball (Unix)
Zip file (Windows)
Patch against Perl 5.6.1 sources
I do not know which one to download. Is it the zip file for windows or the Patch against perl 5.6.1
Please does anybody have any idea what i need to do.
Thanks in advance
Cheers

Hello Hsawwan,
Thanks for your reply. It is not part of Oracle E-Business. But this is Oracle Forms Application server release 10.1.2.0.2, and oracle Database 10g. rel2, installed seperatelly. I can connect ok to the database from forms 10g. But when it comes to running the forms, the browser comes up and i can see the java sign on the browser, after that it prompts me for username, password and connect identifier. As mentioned earlier, when i supply 2 criteria ie, the username scott, and password tiger I get ORA-12560: TNS: Protocol Adapter error. However, when i supply all 3 questions, ie username, password and connect identifier- ORCL, I get error message
ORA- 12154: TNS: Could not resolve the connect identifier specified.
Also i need to download Perl 5.6.1, does any body knows where i can download this?
Because the I currently have perl 5.8.3 and opatch is pointing to perl 5.6.1.
The site i found has error cannot display page.
Also where is the application env file located, and what should i be setting in this file.
Sorry for the long explanation. I hope I am making some sense.
Thanks in advance

Oracle forms builder - windows or unix?

Until recently we've been developing on Forms Builder 6i on our Sun/Solaris box. Now however, we want to move to developing using Forms 10g. We've already recompiled all our forms on the unix box, which has Application Server 10g and an 11g database. Do we stick to using the version of Form Builder on the unix box, or go with the Windows forms? I'm not keen on the unix version, never have been - it's rather clunky, but all our forms/libraries source code is on the server. What do people generally use? I've been ftp-ing files but this is no good longer term - is it best to go with a samba share?

Thanks Tony,
Yes we do still want to deploy on unix. Up until now we've been using unix source control to book modules in and out, as well as using the unix version of form builder. We don't have any other source control software so we'd still need to book in and out on unix. I'd still like to use the Windows forms builder, but we'd prefer to avoid having multiple copies of the source code on windows.

Window size in browser with forms 9.0.4

Hello,
how can I influence the window-size of a mask/canvas in the browser ??
Same mask (created with Forms 6i) is well-sized, but after compiling with Forms 10g only a part of the whole canvas is displayed and its not possible to shift/resize the window. Even the statusline is displayed only sometimes (I tried different .fmb files )
How can I create therefore scrollbars ?
As browser I use Mozilla-Firefox 0.8
My OS is Windows XP.
Please help

I have now resolved my problem.

Forms 10g : How to hide the parent MDI window.

Hi All ,
We have migrated an forms sdi application into forms 10g.
Now in the new application , we see a parent MDI appearing as a background to the SDI windows which is smaller in size ( as per the settings ).
Wanted to know if there is any solution to hide this parent Window(MDI) as the user wants a similar look and feel as his current application.
Any help is really appreciated .
thank you all.

Dear Friend,
If u r using SeparateFrame = true, then you cannot minimize forms MDI window, because this is the form on which your sdi form is based. It is better if you display your forms inside the main browser by setting SeparateFrame = false. It will look better as a new Internet explorer window will not be visible, which is true for SeparateFrame = true parameter.

Regards,
MuraliHi Murali,
Please confirm if you are trying to compile a form (.fmb) to (.fmx), if yes you may follow one the following ways :
Unix command :
frmcmp.sh userid=scott/scott@TEST batch=yes module=APRESBILL.fmb module_type=form compile_all=yes window_state=minimize
Using GUI :
run frmcmp.sh from unix prompt in an X-window(ie. xmanager, reflection etc) to generate the fmx. Once the form opens you have option in the drop down list to select if it's form, library or a report.
HTH.

Font mapping in Forms 10g on Unix/Linux

Hello,
does anybody have a adea how font mapping in forms 10g works on Unix/Linux.
As far as I know I do have to have a X-Server running on the node so that forms can mapp java fonts, is this true?
What configuration options do I have on the server.
Can I differ strictly between development tasks (consideration of developer) and admin tasks ([configuration]considerations of Application Server Admin) referring font mapping in forms 10g?
Is there any "Best Practices to this subject?
Thank you.
Regards
Frank

Hello Frank,
- fontmapping takes place in Registry.dat file?!
- According to your article "Forms: Using custom fonts in Oracle Forms Services 10g" I only have to customize fontmapping in Registry.dat file.
-Customer developes on MS-Client and uses Arial,but is surprised about displayed font, which is´nt Arial.
-Can I just customize font mapping in Registry.dat as follows (according your example)?
default.fontMap.appFontnames=x,y,Arial
default.fontMap.javaFontnames=u,v.Arial
What do we have to consider on client site?
What´s about java on client (JInitiator)?
Regards
Frank

Display Issue in Forms 10g on Windows 7.

Hello,
I have a peculiar problem while working on Forms 10g application on Windows 7 Platform. I am able to build form modules and run them. The problem is in the display in the Oracle Applications Server Forms Services window. I use internet explorer(default) to display the results. Apparently I am able to view the correct output only after I scroll the mouse pointer up and down once. To make it more clear, when I click on run form option of the forms builder, the output opens in an internet explorer window. But the screen is blank. I am able to view the resulting frame and its contents after I move the mouse pointer once, in a vertical direction. My instructor told me that it is a problem specific to Windows 7 and can be rectified by using TuneUp Utility but of no help.
Can anyone solve this please.
Thank you!

Hi,
Since the form is appearing the issue is something to do with the client machine where you are opening the form from.
Try again after clearing the web browser cache and java cache. Also you may try this from another machine and confirm of the situation.
Thanks &
Best Regards,
Asif

Hello Friends,
I have been unable to download the patch for developer 10g forms as I am not a metalink registered user. But I have downloaded other browsers such as firefox2 and netscape 9.0.0.6. I am trying to run my forms 10g rel2 with these browsers. But on netscape it says Java is not enabled, even though I have enabled Java. And it shows me a grey page. On firefox 2, it says 'click here to download plugin'. After you click on it, it says 'No suitable plugins were found', 'Unknown plugin(application x/jinit-applet; version 1.3.1.22) and a text box is beside it labelled 'Manual Install'. When you click on this manual install button, it takes me to this page :
http://ajayia-pc:8889/forms/jinitiator/us/jinit_download.htm.
Please can anyone help with advice as to what direction to go. I am stuck with my installation. I am using Windows Vista Operating System.
Many Thanks.

Install Oracle Forms 10g R2 in Windows 7

Hi,
does anyone has ever succeeded to install Oracle Form 10g R2 in Windows 7 Home Premium?
How to overcome the Jinit issue in there? Friend of mine suggested we can download the Jinit for Vista version and replace the current Jinit with it.
Do I need to change anything too in Formsweb.cfg? Windows 7 works with IE 8.
Is the Forms can work with Oracle 11g R1 client 64 bit for Windows?
thanks in advance.

Why bother with JInit? It's long desupported. Just replace it with the latest Java Plugin, and you'll be fine.
