Forms 6i Compilation

I have a standalone application and am working on some change requests. I work on the each form from a separate directory than the other forms, libraries, and menus. When I run the form, it creates a .err file instead of the .fmx. It will compile all the code and save but how do I create the fmx? I am not able to run the form at all. What is wrong and/or why is it doing this instead of creating the forms runtime file?

The .err files has five FRM-30436 errors.
Parent window not specified for canvas.view canvas toolbar.
Parent window not specified for canvas.view canvas CG$STACKED_FOOTER.
There are others with different canvas names.
FORM-30048-Unable to find record group LOV LOV_NAME
What do I do to fix the canvas errors?

Forms 9i - Compilation on Linux - property class,VA from base form

Hi all,
We have got around 400 forms converted from forms 6i to forms 9i.
We have subclassed property classes and visual attributes to most of the forms from the base form (say std.fmb).
Now , we need them to be compiled on Unix / Linux for the first time.
While compiling, we get message "FRM-18108: Failed to load the following objects." but the .fmx file is created.
We understand that this is due to the reference of the source form as STD and not as std. How to correct this problem but without renaming the form std to STD or having one more copy of that as STD.fmb.
Please suggest

Hugo,
the Forms module can be compiled without having to compile oracle.forms.demos.ProgressBarPJC. Just have the implementation class reference in teh Forms module and use the same jar file.

Can't open PDF Form in Compiled Help

I have several forms (PDF) that I recently converted to allow
for online entry and submission. They open fine in the development
environment (View Selected Item), but as soon as I compile and try
to open them from the CHM I get a page cannot be displayed message.
Has anyone else ran into this? If so, were you able to correct the
problem? What did you have to do?
Fyi...I used Acrobat v8.0 to create the forms.
Thanks!

I figured it out. Somehow the pdf files disappeared from my
baggage folder. I readded the files, compiled, and everything works
fine.

Developer 2000 forms to compile in 9i

Hi.
I have an application developed in Developer 2000 , now want to convert it in Deverloper 9i. While compiling it give me many errors like report calling function has been changed. I am not able to find and migration utility in the installation . Please let me know if I have not fully installed developer 9i or there is some other way to migrate froms .
Thanks.

In the newer Forms versions, it is only supported to call Reports using the RUN_REPORT_OBJECT built-in. You will need to either manually recode your app or use the Forms Migration Assistant (FMA) to perform the task for you. Although the FMA seems like the easier method, it does add a significant amount of additional code to your application including the addition of a PLL. If possible, I would recommend manually recoding. FMA was available with Forms 9.0.x and newer, however in 9.0.2 installing the first patchset or newer was required in order to use it. It was also available for 9.0.2 as a separate download for installation into the Oracle Home. Newer Forms version include the utility with the initial product installation.
(FMA for 9.0.2 only) http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/forms/index.html
Refer to the product documentation (Builder Online Help) for more details about RUN_REPORT_OBJECT and FMA
For us to assist here, you will need to clarify which product versions you are using. Neither Developer 2000 or Developer 9i represent versions. These are just marketing names which represent numerous versions. Each version handles migration slightly different.
The product version can be found in the Builders under HELP > ABOUT or by opening the compiler's help option.
Access to most of the Forms documentation can be obtained from here:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/
Also, be aware that all versions of Developer 9i (6.0.x & 9.0.x) are considered obsolete. The latest version is 10.1.2.0.2 (10.1.2.3 with the latest patch set) - "Developer Suite 10g Release 2". If your "Developer 2000" version is 6.0.5.x you can move directly to 10.1.2.0.2, however you will need to change

Adobe Form Builder: Compiling the answers in a database

What happens if someone saves the question form under a different file name to send back to you?

Hi:
I have the same requirement and this code works fine from the exit event. However, I need the validation to run for each character entered so as soon as an end user enters a number, they get the message not just on the exit event.
I tried this code which works on the exit event in the validation event, change event and others but it only seems to work on the exit event.
How could I code this to run for each character entered? Is there another code or event I should be using?
Thank you,

Error FRM-30312 while compiling a custom pll library on forms 11g weblogic

hi,
this is my case:
Im trying to upgrade a forms 10g application to 11g, using FORMS 11g v11.1.1.3 and WEBLOGIC server v10.3.3.
Forms files compiled correctly, also webutil.pll was correctly compiled.
but if I try to compile my custom pll I can see the error...
when I run application, this erros msg appears:

I need help.

InoL, Thank you very much.
I know rp2rro.pll was there, and I compiled it successfully, and place it to the correct folder.
but I did not know that my custom pll had the rp2rro as a program unit.
I solve this problem replacing the code inside my custom library with the rp2rro.pll code that comes with forms 11g
THANKS again.

Error while compiling the form

Hi Everyone,
Im getting the following error, while trying to compile the form.
Compilation error on POST-QUERY trigger on XXX_CONTRACT_INFO data block:
PL/SQL ERROR 0 at line 0, column 0
ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve service name.
The instance which Im using is UP and running fine.
I am using some database links to access data from a different schema, but even those db links are working fine.
I am completly strucked up with this issue. Please help me.
Thank you.
Rams.

Thanks for the reply.
Im not running the form in local database and more over if the problem is with only tnsnames, then the form should completly through an error. But in this case, the form is compiling all its objects, but its unable to compile only one block.

Windows tool to compile forms on unix server

We have one client using Forms 6i on the web, so I need to test in this environment.
Currently to compile the fmb on the unix platform, I use Hummingbird software (Connectivity, Exceed, Xstart) to run the compile using the command f60genm.
I do not particularly like the Hummingbird software, as it takes a lot of software just to run an X-windows terminal session. However, it seems to be necessary, because the unix administrator tells me the Forms 6 compiler in this environment apparently "needs to connect to the Xwindows graphics library."
If I try to run the f60genm comand from a SSH Secure Shell connection, I get the error:
FRM-91500: Unable to start/complete the build.I get the same error in the Xstart session if I use the f60gen command (without the "m").
However, if I type "f60genm" without any parameters in the Xstart window, a second xwindows application pops up where I can enter Forms compile options (login and module information.)
If anyone is familiar with unix: Is there maybe a path or environment command I could try in the SSH Secure Shell session that would satisfy the Xwindows graphics library requirement, so I could then run the compile without using Hummingbird?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks everyone for all the help and suggestions! I am closer, but still cannot get the f60genm or f60gen to work.
Paul, when I enter
echo $SHELLI get: /bin/cshPaul and Soumyajit, when I enter a DISPLAY=... or export command, unix echoes my input, and appends Command not found
It seems that the setenv that Rosario suggested actually works. I can do
setenv DISPLAY=111.2.333.4:0.0
setenv ORACLE_TERM=vt220 and they seem to work. Then when I type setenv by itself, I see a number of environment variables, with my two at the end. However, unlike the other values displayed, their values have an equal sign appended at the end:
DISPLAY=111.2.333.4:0.0=
ORACLE_TERM=vt220=So maybe that is the reason I still get
FRM-91500: Unable to start/complete the build.when I try the f60genm command that works in the Hummingbird environment.
I really do appreciate all your help! If you can think of anything I should try, please let me know.

How to compile a Form in Unix

Dear all
I am using forms 10G.
I have a form and I want to compile it in Unix .
Can you please tell me the solution step by step .
I was reading the old blogs here ,and tried the same but did not get the solution .
Please help me .

for %%f IN (*.fmb) do frmcmp.sh userid=userid/password@DB1 module=%%f batch=yes module_type=form compile_all=yes window_state=minimize
Is this comand will work ?On Windows yes, on Unix no, that's the Windows syntax.
How can I give the fmb name instread of "compile_all=yes " ?"compile_all=yes" doesn't mean compile all forms, but compile all Pl/Sql code within the form. On Linux I use something like the following :. $HOME/.bash_profile
export Filename=$1
if [ "$Filename" ]
then
Filename=`echo $Filename | cut -f1 -d"."`
else
Filename=*
fi
for FRM in $Filename.fmb
do
echo $FRM
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/frmcmp.sh $FRM username/password@DB module_type=form 1>$FRM.log 2>&1
doneIf you execute the script with a form name as argument, only that form will be compiled, otherwise all forms within the directory will be compiled.

Unable to compile form module in 6i

Hi,

Here is the developer environment i am using, i would also like to tell you that i am trying to migrate my forms and the backend to 9i and forms 6i. I would also like to know wether is there any need to apply any patch on win2000 professional, i had applied service pack 4 to the installation.

Form develper 9i. (form are not displaying on the browser after compiling)

I run oracle 9i version 2, and internet developer suit on my system. Idesigning my forms and the codes to run behind them with the form developer. If I click the
"run form" button during testing, the form will compile successfully, but will never display. The system will only display "Website found, waiting for reply". I believe nothing is wrong with my installation since i was able to make connection to the database through the form developer. What do you think is the problem and how can I solve it.

Form Compiles in Forms Builder but not Unix?

I have a form that compiles fine in Forms Builder (Version 6.0.8.11.3). When trying to compile the form on a Solaris Middleware Server it fails and gives several errors similar to the following:
Compiling WHEN-NEW-BLOCK-INSTANCE trigger on SFTREGS data block...

PL/SQL ERROR 201 at line 4, column 37

SQL Statement ignored
I realize that these same errors in Forms Builder if I have not connected to the database (Version 9.2.0.4.0) before compiling so I'm guessing that there is some environment variable set incorrectly on the middleware server. I'm quite new to Unix and am not sure what variables I should be looking at...any thoughts?

We have tried both commands as indicated. We get the same errors that were in the original post as outlined below;

Update statement shows error while compiling in forms

i have the following query which works fine through TOAD,but in forms while compiling it gave error:
"too many declarations of 'DECODE' match this call".
Can any body suggest me a workaround for this query to avoid this error.
UPDATE job_headers_web
SET draft_release_date = SYSDATE,
    jbhwb_draft_approval =
                 DECODE (jbhwb_draft_approval,
                         NULL, jbhwb_draft_approval,
    jbhwb_draft_approval_date =
            DECODE (jbhwb_draft_approval,
                    NULL, jbhwb_draft_approval_date,
    jbhwb_draft_approval_logon_id =
        DECODE (jbhwb_draft_approval,
                NULL, jbhwb_draft_approval_logon_id,
WHERE reference = 'IRef487'

thanks all.esp Dave & Gerd ,for giving me the possible solution...finally i got it right
it was the problem with the date field
so i have modified my query :
UPDATE job_headers_web
SET draft_release_date = SYSDATE,
    jbhwb_draft_approval =
                 DECODE (jbhwb_draft_approval,
                         NULL, jbhwb_draft_approval,
    jbhwb_draft_approval_date =
            DECODE (jbhwb_draft_approval,
                    NULL, to_char (jbhwb_draft_approval_date),
    jbhwb_draft_approval_logon_id =
        DECODE (jbhwb_draft_approval,
                NULL, jbhwb_draft_approval_logon_id,
