Forms 10gR2 new features documentation

I can't find any documentation that identifies the differences between release 1 and release 2... Any ideas? I had a quick look at the technical overview for both releases and there doesn't appear to be much difference, or did I miss something?

Thanks Frank,
I take it then the only way to discover the differences, particularly for someone not familiar with forms, is to read all the documentation for both releases in detail and compare. It is a pity there is no New Features White Paper like there is for release 1.
I am basically trying to answer the question of why would we bother migrating to release 2 of Developer Suite (apart from the obvious Error Correct desupport at the end of the year). Do you know of any papers that might help answer that question? Maybe the differences are in other Developer Suite components rather than forms?
thanks.

I could not find any specific book for prepration for Z0-140.There is no specific book relating to this exam. As OCP level and especially as already an OCP I would anticapte candidates should have th capacity to review exams topics [http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=41&p_org_id=28&lang=US&p_exam_id=1Z0_140] and look up related documentation. If not they should probably seek out and attend oracle training.

OLAP 10GR2 new features/improvements?

Hello !
Could someone please describe the new features/changes in OLAP 10GR2 ?
There's no info available regarding OLAP, all i could find is that there are "dramatic improvements".

Thanks! but there's just a presentation with some graphs showing that performance is imporved, and some improvements named. I would like to see some kind of datasheet or dev guide describing more technical details, such as if I can still use my old Analytic Workspace or I will have to rebuild it to make use of new 10.2 fetures. But i must agree - the improvements are really impressive: for example "Running Batch Queries" is almost 5 times faster, ~33% less AW disk space usage, and "Processing Weekly Updates" compared to 10.R1 is 18 times faster. Wow! that's really a dramatic improvement !

5800XM v40 - new features documentation?

Hi,
first of all thanks to Nokia for providing the new v40 firmware for the 5800XM - great job.
I've noticed so many changes (to the better) in many different details of the phone so that I'm wondering if there is any documentation available that describes the changes for the user?
Changes I've noticed so far (not a complete list and besides the kinetic scrolling which is also great by the way):
- auto-change to big qwertz keyboard when rotating the phone
- new dialogs (and required user interaction) for meeting alerts and incoming calls
- if you've started the player you can press the 'play' button at the remote to start playing music immediately (great feature, not recognized prior to v40)
I'm sure there are more changes to the UI and it would be nice to have a user documentation for these.
thanks and regs,

You won't find an official changelog released by Nokia because they consider that to be confidential data.
I have, however, documented what I found here: http://techyoddsandends.blogspot.com/2010/01/nokia-5800-xpressmusic-v40-firmware.html

Forms 11 New Features and release date

Hy,
I think Ronald Grant is who can answer my question:
when date release is for Forms 11, and what'are major improvements for Forms 11?
Thnks

thanks Grant,
i have found it:
'Forms version 11 is planned to be part of Oracle Application server version 11, which is planned in 12-15 months, which means summer 2007. Forms will not participate in the 10.1.3 platform, so the version 11 will be the first after the current 10.1.2 line.'
You can find the full article at:
http://www.oratransplant.nl/2006/06/07/oracles-plans-for-forms-version-11/
thanks again, I have been very happy after I read all features and your comment on 'Forms is not dead'

Designer 6i Forms Generation - new feature?

Can anyone using Designer 6i for Forms generation let me know if this version contains a drag and drop layout option?
Trying to manipulate the fields on the canvas using tabs and co-ords is too frustrating in version 6.
No-one at Oracle support seems to know....
go figure..

Fiona,
There is no drag and drop layout editor. However, there is a new editor which allows you to specify beginning and ending tab stop positions. Our head designer tells me it makes laying out fields "a lot faster" than 6.0.

Looking for list of new features in 11.2

I have been trying to find a list of the new features, if any, that have been released with 11.2. Would anyone have a link the new features documentation?
thanks
R.

The first link below is to the 11.2 new features guide. The second link below is supposedly the 11.2 new features for Oracle Text, however the only new features listed are for 11.1 and prior, so it appears that either there aren't any new Text features in 11.2 since 11.1 or they left them out.

Oracle Forms New Features - Your input. Supporting data types

I am interested to know IF we were to support any new database types in Oracle Forms 11g, which types would you like supported and why. I'd also like to know if you are currently working around the absence of a database type.
Please note, this is not any kind of commitment to support new data types in Oracle Forms applications but we are interested to know if there is demand and if so, for what types.
Thanks
Grant Ronald
Oracle Forms Product Management
p.s lets keep the thread focused on the topic so please don't post technical questions or comments about different new features - if you want to, start a new thread - thanks

Hi Grant,
support for the "new" - well they exists since 9iR1 ... 2001 - data types TIMESTAMP, TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE, TIMESTAMP WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE, INTERVAL YEAR TO MONTH and INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND would be very helpful.
Currently it's not possible to use the Data Block Wizard to create a data block for table/view that contains one of these columns.
(In Forms Builder 10.1.2.3 it fails with a strange error message ... iewbdbc_oracle_to_id ... C:\forms\101220\src\ie\iewbdb.c:724 ...)
So, one has to create the data block and the items manually. The items have to be CHARS.
Then forms is able to fetch and display these columns. The user can edit them as normal.
A WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM trigger can be used to make sure that the implicit conversion from CHAR to the "new" datatype works.
For example, an INTERVAL YEAR TO MONTH column (b):
declare
l_invalid_interval exception;
pragma exception_init(l_invalid_interval, -1867);
l_invalid_month exception;
pragma exception_init(l_invalid_month, -1843);
l_dummy interval year(9) to month;
begin
l_dummy := to_yminterval(:block2.b);
exception
when l_invalid_interval
then
    message('invalid interval');
    raise form_trigger_failure;
when l_invalid_month
then
    message('invalid month');
    raise form_trigger_failure;
when others
then
    message(error_text);
    raise form_trigger_failure;
end;This nasty trick works for most of the "new" datatypes except with TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE.
In Forms 10.1.2.3 the following WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM trigger can (incorrectly!) fail:
declare
l_dummy timestamp with time zone;
begin
l_dummy := to_timestamp_tz(:block2.a);
end;It fails with "ORA-01804: failure to initialize timezone information", if the time zone is not like "-11:00", but like "EUROPE/PARIS". Don't know why...
If we recode our trigger to make a round-trip to the database, it works:
declare
l_dummy timestamp with time zone;
begin
select to_timestamp_tz(:block2.a)
into   l_dummy
from dual;
end;We could avoid these tricks, if Forms (and Reports) would support these type natively.
Thanks, Michael
PS: The TIMESTAMP and INTERVAL data types should of course be supported as items, parameters, globals and record groups columns.

New features I like Oracle to include in Oracle Forms

I believe Oracle Form is the best tool to develop Database Application in Oracle Database. The weakness I see in Oracle Forms 10g may be its deployment as Java Applet. Java Applets are to be downloaded in the client browser, that's why it's not lightweight as PHP/ ASP/JSP scripting technology. So as a true web application it is not really handy.
Oracle provides JDeveloper/ Apex to accomplish that. But JDeveloper is very complicated to understand and Apex is rigid and you have little freedom on your user interface design, you cannot design a page as freely as you do in Adobe Dreamweaver for PHP. We as Form developer want oracle to develop a new development tool with following features:
1. Language will be PL/SQL.
2. There will be simple drag and drop interface design.
3. It will generate HTML/JSP page so that it can be light weight.
4. Provide a wide range of packages to accomplish javascripts/ajax while using PL/SQL language. Developer will just know what to do and by what technology javascripts/ajax, and accordingly invoke packages from withing PL/SQL editors.
5. Will have good old simple look in Form Development (JDeveloper is so complex and Apex is so shy in revealing it's features) while having same even better inner strength of developments.
6. Will require no client side tool like jinitiator or jre
7. Better and easy or even no use of web_util package but still accomplish file/image/spreadsheet access
