Forms 10g with MS Access

Hi Guys,
I m developing one s/w in forms 10g. my old data is in MS Access 97. I like to manipulate data in access as wel as in oracle. I installed oracle 9i database with Tramparent gateway to use non oracle database. I can manipulate data from sqlplus in MS access. But when i tried the same statement in Forms 10g and try to compile , it gives error and close the program. (Illegal Operation ).
Could any one help me to connect to the MS access from forms 10g?.
Thanks in advance.

Look for a file called oca_info.pdf on your install. This is the file which tells you about connecting to non oracle dbs.

How to connect Forms 6i with MS Access

Dear All:
Can we connect Forms 6i with MS Access? If yes then how? Any document? Any suggestions?
Thanks
Hassan

Thanks Jose for your suggestions:
I am sorry I did not use the search utility of Forum.
Anyway I have connect the Forms 6i with MS Access
I created two text item in a Non-Database block and write following coding on a Push Button:
declare
connection_id EXEC_SQL.CONNTYPE;
cursorID EXEC_SQL.CURSTYPE;
sqlstr VARCHAR2(1000);
d1 VARCHAR2(100);
d2 NUMBER;
nIgn PLS_INTEGER;
nRows PLS_INTEGER := 0;
BEGIN
connection_id := EXEC_SQL.OPEN_CONNECTION('hsn','hsn','odbc:test');
cursorID := EXEC_SQL.OPEN_CURSOR(connection_id);
sqlstr := 'select d1,d2 from abdali ';
EXEC_SQL.PARSE(connection_id, cursorID, sqlstr, exec_sql.V7);
EXEC_SQL.BIND_VARIABLE(connection_id, cursorID, '', '');
EXEC_SQL.DEFINE_COLUMN(connection_id, cursorID, 1, d1, 100);
EXEC_SQL.DEFINE_COLUMN(connection_id, cursorID, 2, d2, 100);
nIgn := EXEC_SQL.EXECUTE(connection_id, cursorID);
WHILE (EXEC_SQL.FETCH_ROWS(connection_id, cursorID) > 0 ) LOOP
nRows := nRows + 1;
EXEC_SQL.COLUMN_VALUE(connection_id, cursorID, 1, :d1);
--EXEC_SQL.COLUMN_VALUE(connection_id, cursorID, 2, :d2);
next_record;
END LOOP;
message(nrows);
IF (nRows <= 0) THEN
TEXT_IO.PUT_LINE ('Warning: query returned no rows');
END IF;
END;
I can retrieve the data from MS Access but there is a problem occured.
The data type of one column in Access is defined as Intiger
I also defined a text item in form as Intiger but when retrieved then it returned following error:
FRM-40735: WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger raised unhandled exception ORA-306500.
I remarked the following coding it works fine.
EXEC_SQL.COLUMN_VALUE(connection_id, cursorID, 2, :d2);
Any suggestions: I also read the OCA_INFO.pdf but did not find how to handle this type of problem.
If you can help me to find out how to match the data types of both the databases?
Also can I insert the data from a Database Block of Oracle into MS-ACCESS thru write code on the Button.
Thanks for help

Error running forms 10g with OC4J

Hi everyone,
I installed Oracle DB 10g and Developer Suite 10g (did not install Ap. Server) at the same machine (different homes), everything seemed to be OK, I use sqlplus with no problems, then I did this:
1) Created a table with just one field
2) Created a test form with Forms 10g using wizard with just that table and that field (I connect to oracle with no problems on forms builder)
3) Started OC4J Instance
4) When I run the form, it opens Internet explorer then shows Oracle application server forms service, but with this message ORA-12560 TNS: Protocol Adapter error, I click OK and ask me for a user and password, but the same error!!
IS there any configuration that I have to do on OC4J?? Why I can connect to oracle from sqlplus, enterprise manager and so, but it fails running forms, specifically when open OC4J???
Thanks in advance

Did you save the form before running it, in the context of the builder? there is a known bug in this area.

Is it possible to use Oracle Forms 10g with Oracle 10g Lite Database?

Hi All,
We are in process of migrating our forms from 6i to 10g environment.
We have two kinds of applications, one set run on general Oracle 11g database and the other set of forms run at the client machine using Oracle lite database.
We dont have any problem with Forms 6i to connect to Lite database as it allows to connect through ODBC:DSN names. When we try to connect to a lite database (10gR3) from Forms 10g through ODBC/DSN, it's not allowing and throwing the below error.
ORA-03121 : no interface driver connected - function not performed
Can someone tell me if there is something wrong in our approach? Also advise how to use Oracle Lite database with Forms 10G.
Sincerely,
Praveen Manthena

Hi,
I have experience with 6i with lite database 10g. There are two version of lite database one is multi language support and other one in english. There lang problem in connectivity with multi language 10g lite database. I done connectivity with single language connectivity of 6i with 10g lite database. You should try this one with forms 10g.

How to connect oracle forms 10g with oracle 10g express database?

Hi all,
I have downloaded and installed oracle forms 10g and oracle database 10g express, when I open net configuration assistant to test local net service, I tested the default service (EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA) BUT THE RESULT IS "ora-28547 connection to server failed probable oracle net admin error"
How can I solve this issue?
My tnsname.ora is located in c:\DevSuiteHome\network\admin\tnsnames.ora, and its contents is:

I copied the contents of C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\NETWORK\ADMIN\tnsnames.ora and appended it to C:\DevSuiteHome\NETWORK\ADMIN\tnsnames.ora
and tried net configuration management to test local net service, the test was ok, thus the first problem resolved.
but the login problem in forms developer still exist and it claims that: ora-12154 tns could not resolve the connect identifier specified.
any ideas?

FRM-92101: Load Balancing Forms 10g with Webcache

Hi,
IÂ´m having some problems with Oracle Forms and Webcache 10g and I was wondering if you
could help.
Machines: (Pentium IV 2.6 GHz; 2GB RAM; 80GB HD)
A. Red Hat Linux AS 2.1
Oracle AS 10g - Infrastructure Installation
B. Windows 2000 Server - Service Pack 4
Oracle AS 10g - BI and Forms Installation (Using Infrastructure on machine A)
C. Windows 2000 Server - Service Pack 4
Oracle AS 10g - BI and Forms Installation (Using Infrastructure on machine A)
I didnÂ´t apply any Patchsets of Oracle AS 10g. My current version is 9.0.4.0 .
Goal:
Use Oracle Webcache 10g on machine B for Load Balancing an Oracle Forms Application
on machines B and C.
Facts:
The Oracle AS 10g installation on the 3 machines was made without problems.
The Forms Applications are running without problems on both Forms servers in machine B and C.
Symptoms:
IÂ´m getting the following error when I try to access the forms application through Webcache:
FRM-92101: There was a failure in the forms server during startup.
This could happen due to invalid configuration.
Please look in the web-server log file for details.
But, this error happens ONLY when BOTH OC4J_BI_Forms instances (machines B and C) are
running.
When just one of the OC4J_BI_Forms is running everything works fine.
Webcache Configuration:
IÂ´ve followed Metalink note 207668.1: Configuring Web Cache as a Load Balancer for Application Servers
step by step to make the configuration of the following components:
1. Configuration of the origin servers
2. Configuration of Site definitions
3. Configuration of Site to server mapping
After that, IÂ´ve follwed the Metalink note 229900.1: Integrating and using Web Cache with Forms 9i for Load Balancing
step by step to make the configuration of the following components:
4. Session Binding
Then I try to test the Load Balancing and I got the error FRM-92101 when both OC4J_BI_Forms
instance were running.
IÂ´ve searched Metalink and found note 268830.1: Webcache Won't Load Balance 2 Forms Instances.
Following the note instructions I did the following changes:
Added these lines at the end of HTTPD.conf (machine B):
CookieTracking On
CookieName myformscookie1
Added these lines at the end of HTTPD.conf (machine C):
CookieTracking On
CookieName myformscookie2
In Webcache configuration:
IÂ´ve Changed the default session binding from JSESSIONID to "ANY SET COOKIE" for the
site's session binding.
But even after these changes IÂ´m getting FRM-92101 error on the same conditions.
How can I solve this problem ?
Thank you in advance.

Just ran into this problem last Tuesday, Nov.30 and applied the changes today.
My configuration is similar to yours: 9.0.4 web cache on machine A, 9.0.4 10gAS forms and reports standalone on machine B and C (not a cluster, no infra).
I appended the Cookie lines you mentioned in httpd.conf located in $ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/conf in both machines B and C.
One important thing you may have missed. After changing httpd.conf in each 9iAS instance, you need to make the change known to dcmctl so issue:
dcmctl updateConfig -ct ohs
Then do the following for each 9iAS instance and it should be ready for webcache:
dcmctl stop
dcmctl start
Setup Any-set-Cookie in webcache instead of JSESSIONID and the whole thing should now work. You can run a form through machine A which will load balance to either machine B or C (which can both be up). Then, try shutting down 9iAS on machine B or C and run a form again. They now all work.

db and dev 10g ,
hi all , my report displays "sal and ename" columns of scott/tiger schema .
i've seen a lot of articles talking about this but i want you to help me to get it :
1- i want to run report by assigning a value to the "report other" property of the report object .
i've tried it like so , i wrote sal = 800 or ename = 'SCOTT' in that property "report other" . and it did not work .
2- and i want to how to do the same with "set_report_object('myrep',report_other,..........) ;
3- i did it before with a parameter list by creating a parameter in the report builder called "p_sal" and p_ename then
created a parameter list with :sal and :ename text_items as parameters then added the parameter list to
run_report_object('myreport',pl) and it did not work too .
please clarify these to me

Hi,
You can not check the second link i provided where parameter passing issue is clearly mentioned. you should give space before all parameter.
Check the second link, it will help you. And for your correction
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(ro,REPORT_OTHER, 'paramform=no p_deptno='||:dept.deptno);Hope you understand...

Running Forms Https (forms 10g with A/S and webcache)

I'm trying to implement Credit Card processing for applications in our agency. The environment is in the subject. There will be two types of applications that need to process credit cards:
1. Users coming in through our external website running java applications.
2. Internal users running Oracle Forms (against another App Svr deployment)
I'll be using a payment gateway accessible via a web service to authorize the card. I can talk to this via a java w/s client proxy w/o a problem. Here's the problem though:
I've been told that when forms are running https, ALL forms running on the application server, regardless of application will now be running https. I'd like the Credit Card entry Oracle Form to be running https, but don't see how this affects all the other forms in our environment (hundreds of them). Can't one screen (http) call a CC screen (this one only running https), and they can enter the card into that? From the reading I've done this should be possible.
I'm not the Application Server admin. This is what I've been told, and I cannot configure the environment. I've been told that Forms will now have to call a JSP CC entry screen that I write and that screen would now invoke the web service. Of course, my concern is that the oracle form and the jsp screen are now asynchronous, and one won't be able to tell when the other is done (unless I poll on the form, or go the route of PJCs and javascript - I've seen an article for this already --- HOWEVER, this was shot down as well.)
My question boils down to:
1. Can I run all my other forms http, and then this CC screen https (via a web.show_document), and then it can hit the web service directly via a java imported client proxy rather than me writing extra methods, and another screen/conf page that's specific to forms users?
[I need to run forms https since the default 40-bit encryption is not enough.]
Here are my related questions/threads to this one:
Forms Client Side Encryption and invoking external Secure Service via URL

Forms 10g itegration with ADF

Hi,
Can we integrate Forms 10g with ADF? Any Blogs/Reference to it?
Thanks,
CN

this is difficult to answer in a short space of time and without knowing what you are REALLY wanting to achieve.
If, for example, you really want to exploit a feature of ADF inside Forms, e g, a Gantt chart, then you can do this. In 11g Forms we give you Javascript integration so it means that some interaction on the Forms can be passed to JS on the page. Also if you ensure that you don't "tangle" the transactions of the Form and the ADF part of teh application then you are ok.
Some of the issues you might have are things like:
Security - you might have different security models for an ADF application and a Forms application
Transactions - you might want to present the application as being "seamless" but infact you could have two separate transactions.
It also comes back to what you want to achieve, it might be that back end integration is more advisable than a tighter integration of the application technologies...for example, using web services.
I showed an example of this kind of integration on the Forms modernization page I linked above, I don't have any more plans to produce any more material like this because its not really a path we would want to push people down (but again, thats not to say it can't work in some cases).
Maybe I could ask you why you are asking this? What are you looking to achieve?

Using form with mssql,access and oracle9i

Is it a good idea to use forms 9i with mssql,access and oracle 9i as back end
meaning using forms6i/9i as front end
what happens with datatype defined in mssql tables
like smallint etc
SEJ

Yes, I have read it. Good information, and it has gotten me close. If I follow what it says, I can get directly into insert mode ... however, update and delete buttons still exist.
Here are the exacts in my situation:
1) created a dynamic page that creates a link generated from the function 'Portal30.wwv_user_utilities.get_url('my_application.my_link','parameter_name','parameter_value');'. Notice no relational operator.
2) created a form that is based upon table 'b'. The value passed to this form by step 1 is a foreign key from table 'a'.
3) created a link object that references form identified in step 2.
By clicking on the link generated by the dynamic page (with a parameter set and no conditional operators set), we go to the form in insert mode but we see all buttons. After your last note I decided to try a new, fresh, Portal generated form based upon table 'b', making the primary key and the foreign key hidden. I modified the link to reference this new form. By clicking the link, I go to the form in insert mode, but ALL buttons are showing, including query, next, and previous, even though some of these buttons are invalid.
I am using 3.07.? We are in the middle of installing 3.08 or 3.09, whichever we can get running first. My dba is out for the week, so I will not be able to upgrade until next week.
Any thoughts you have would be helpful. I am on the verge of creating 2 forms, but I don't want the code duplication if I can help it.
Once again, thanks in advance.
