Forms 6i. How to replace a OLE container field

Hi,
I had deployed the forms(Forms 6i) to a UNIX box.I am using the web.show document to open a word document...the problem is that there is a field type LONG RAW which is linked to Word in this case, when the forms get commited that field store the letter,when this is double clicked it brings up Word, this works fine in the Client side...How can I do this from the WEB?...I managed to save the document on the server and bring it on the screen as you know with the show.document...but I have lost the link with the LONG RAW field...how can I save it?
Thanks !!!!I appreciate your time

>I test it and found the search help window was replaced indeed, but all the value of import/export parameters in the new search help was lost, it means, the value of import paramer BANKS(Bank country) and the export parameter BANKA(bank name) were lost. Only the value of BANKL itself can be returned by the new search help window. Can you give me some suggestions about how to maintain the link( value exchange) between structure HCMT_BSP_PA_XX_R0009 and dynamically defined search help 'H_BANKEY' in FPM feeder class?
That is because for the import and export of DDic Search help values to work in WDA, you must use the search help that is declared at the DDic structure level for the structure that is assigned to the context node. By overriding the search help within the feeder class, you are breaking this link that the structure provided. If you must change the search help and keep the import/export of parameters, then you must go to the underlying DDic structure and change its value help definition there.
From the online help:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/47/9f724642314aabe10000000a42189b/frameset.htm
If an input help structure is stored in a field in the ABAP Dictionary, and if you want to use the field mapping of search help parameters stored in the ABAP Dictionary as the field name for the structure for your Web Dynpro input help, then map your context nodes to this structure. This ensures that all components of the structure are available dynamically at runtime as attributes of the node.
>I tried to use sap memory ID but it doesn't works well.
Memory IDs don't work in WDA in general.

Adobe form Error "Memory protection fault in OLE container control"

Hi,
I am getting the error "Memory protection fault in OLE container control" while trying to open the layout tab of adobe forms.
I am getting this error for all the adobe forms.Please let me know the solution.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks,
Nuthan.

I can reproduce this error consistently.. This is how: Install Microsoft SQL Server 2008.
As soon as I remove SQL 2008 the error went away. Adobe LiveCycle Designer was invoked via OLE2 interface. Apparently SQL Server 2008 (as in my case or some other applications in your case) modified the way OLE2 behaves and therefore causes this error.

Forms Personalization: how to Set default value to field

Hi all,
I have trouble with to fill in a field with an initial value where in defined an LOV.
When I open the screen "Contract Commitment" via the responsibility "Contract Commitment Super User" I would like to see a initial value in the "Type" field in "Details" tab. I have tried some cases but with no result.
Could someone point me to a solution or give me a hint how to solve this issue via forms personalization?
field to be filled in:CC_ACCESS_NAME
screen: IGCCENTR
Block: ACCESS
LOV: ACCESS_TYPE_LOV
GROUP_NAME of LOV: ACCESS_TYPE_RG
EBS version 12.0.4
Many thanks,
Cafer

Thanks Fassi for your information.
I can use INITIAL VALUE only with WHEN-NEW-RECORD-INTANCE trigger. In my case this is not usefull but wel correct advise.
I need the trigger WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE and I have used VALUE property
I could notice that there are 2 other fields which have also LOV on them in the same screen.
if I gave these fields (ACCESS.NAM and ACCESS.CC_ACCESS_LEVEL_DESC) a defualt value then it was working for them but not for the first field (ACCESS.CC_ACCESS_TYPE_NAME)
I have solved my issue with a trick as follows:
In the same personalization I have created a new action row with a sequence earlier than ACCESS.CC_ACCESS_TYPE_NAME action and the field CC_DESC is also earlier in the screen than ACCESS.CC_ACCESS_TYPE_NAME. So I have given this field (CC_DESC ) a value as '' (SPACE). So I could manange to see the defualt value in ACCESS.CC_ACCESS_TYPE_NAME field.

Cafer

How to make a list item field with DATE data type?

I have a column with DATE data type. Using forms 6i I want to generate a poplist list item field with this column while the value of the elements in the list to will be day names like SATURDAY,SUNDAY,MONDAY. if we change the data type from date to char, it will work properly but now with DATE data type behind it, it gives the following error message
"FRM-32082: Invalid value for given item type.
List WEEKREST
Item: WEEKREST
Block: EMPRESTS
Form: MODULE3
FRM-30085: Unable to adjust form for output."
Using forms 6i how to make a list item field with DATE data type which can hold day names?

Set your date column as a hidden (non-displayed) field. Create your list item with the varchar2 day names. Create the list item as a non-base-table field that accepts the text values of day names. On that field, create a when-validate-item trigger that translates the text into a real date, which it then uses to set the value of the actual base-table item.

How can I read a blob created with ole container in forms 6i in forms 10g

In forms 6i I used ole container to save a document (excel, pdf, word...) into a blob column.
I want to migrate my application in forms 10g and I read that I have to use webutil_File_transfer.db_to_client and after webutil_host.blocking to see the document.
In the same blob column I can have multiple type of document. How Can I know wich application to use to open the document ?
Even if I know the extension of my document I'm enabled to open the file ???

When you click a C/S OLE object, it is opened with its default application's owner, no ?
So if the OLE object is opened by Excel, the extension is .xls.
In any case you have to open the OLE object with its "mother" application if you want to save it as a file, so there is no problem at all to decide with extension to use.
If you read this article : http://sheikyerbouti.developpez.com/webutil-docs/Webutil_store_edit_docs.htm you can see that the filename is automatically opened with the corresponding application.

How to upgrade 6i form to 11g forms which includes OLE container ?

How to upgrade 6i form to 11g forms which includes OLE container ?

The migration assistant has no upgrade for that. You need to get a Javabean or PJC:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17904_01/doc.1111/e10394/items.htm#sthref207
I don't know what kind of OLE files you have, but if it's just Word and Excel, I would you use browser functionality instead and get the doc's via web.show_document. That, however, doesn't give you update possibility.
You can also use webutil file transfer to get the file to the PC, modify it there, and transfer back to the database.
Then you still have a problem. Documents uploaded via Forms OLE container are actually modified by Forms before they are stored in the database. So, don't throw away your 6i version yet.
You need to get all the stored documents out via Forms 6i and save them as a normal document on the file system. Then you can store them back in the database using some other tool, like dbms_lob or webutil's file transfer.
There are some related discussions on his forum, so just use the Search option, e.g.

OLE Container linked documents conversion to Web Forms

We have developed a form within our Oracle 6i application which allows users to navigate directly from the Forms application to relevant documents. We use an OLE container and the documents (Word, Excel, PDF etc) are linked rather than embedded in the database. I understand that OLE containers are not supported within Web Forms. I'd like to maintain the functionality within the application and welcome any suggestions. I was hoping that Web_Util would provide this but it doesn't appear so. We have over 12000 embedded references to documents which we'd like to extract or retain. A possible solution would be to extract the filenames and paths/locations and have them available as a hyperlink.
I have no idea how to extract the file from the database blob column. There are many samples of code on Metalink to extract the document and store it locally but that's not what we want.
We use an OLE container (now Obsolete) with the OLE Tenant Type set to Linked, and OLE Tenant Aspect set to Icon. So the actual document is not embedded in the database but somehow the Application (Word Excel etc) knows the filename and path when you double click on the Icon.
I would like to extract the filename/path from the blob column and transfer it to another column which will be used as a hyperlink.

The documents are NOT stored in the database, they are linked. We have the documents on the network but have no idea which documents match to which unique record id on the database. Hence the need to extract the name and location of the files. Some ids can have up to 10 different documents attached to them
The use of OLE Tenant type "Linked" was really a Forms 6 version of a hyperlink.
I've got a hyperlink working for future use in attaching new documents to a record id. I am worried that we've lost the record of old links. I don't understand how Oracle can make something obsolete without at least providing an upgrade method.
Hope this makes it clearer.

Dear Sir,
I have am working on Rental property system , i have to save the PDF of original agreement document along with the agreement transaction data entry form, but when i open those agreement in adobe writer there is issue that user can save as its copy to the local machine, to prevent it i m opening that pdf file into the OLE container rather than adobe reader software.

waiting for your earliest response.

You need to switch from using VB6 at this point. As of the latest update, VB6 compiled applications will stop working with Adobe Reader. See the following KB:
PDF applications built with VB6 don't work with Acrobat 11.0.07

Forms 6i : Ole Container : Locking problem

We have a form in which user can attach all sorts of documents that are then saved in the database.
Once in a while we have a locking problem; when 2 users try to open the same document, the second one first gets a 'Could not reserve record (2 tries). Keep trying?'. When clicking 'No', the next error message is 'Frm-40501 : unable to reserve record for update or delete', and the form cannot be used anymore. He keeps complaining about the reserved record.
I've been looking into this problem but cannot seem to find a lot of help.
Does anyone have an idea how to solve this locking problem?
I have tried the following things:
* setting the block to locking mode 'Delayed' => we ended up having duplicate records.
* Changing properties of the ole-container (In Place Activation, Inside Out support, ...).
Forms version is 6.0.8.13.0, database 8.0.6.0.0.
Any help is appreciated.

that seems to be a normal locking problem. Do you have tried to work with an ON-LOCK trigger ? (e.g. first to see, when locking will occur, second for implementing an own locking-behaviour, maybe with a SELECT for UPDATE)
Or do you think, that there is something special with your OLE-programming ?

Retriving a blob after it was loaded by OLE container in forms 6i

We had forms6i application which has loaded documents into a blob column in the database using OLE container. We are able to retrive the blob from the OLE container on the forms6i, However when we are trying to retrive the same blob using PL/sql into the OS level file , we are unable to open the file as it not able to de-serialize the blob loaded into the database by an OLE container on the forms 6i
we have loaded around 5000 documents in the database using forms 6i application.
These were loaded during normal application usage and added mannually by invoking the forms application and then saving.
Our requirement is now to retrive these documents all at once using automated scripts. if Blob data is inserted using forms 6i OLE container then is there any automated exteneded procedures to retrive those blobs using PL SQL script or any other method.
my Forms version:Forms 6.0.8.25
My Databae : Oracle database 10.2.0.4
Thanks in advance.

I have had similar problems in the past with activeX controls. At design time I insert the activeX object in the container, but it is not there at run time. I don't know if this is your exact problem. But I found it was a bug with Forms 6 Patch 7. I backed out to Patch 6 and it fixed my problem.

I'm creating forms through Designer. By default the OLE container In place activation property is set to Yes. I want that to be set to No. I don't see any way for property setting of OLE through Designer. Can I use SET_ITEM_PROPERTY built-in? Please let me know!
Thanks in advance
