Forms 6i Prompts (visual problems)

We are converting from 4.5 to 6x. I have completed all the preliminary preparation for the project in 6.0. As 6i is production, I installed this version to determine if we will use this release.
The Canvas Background Color property is gray, with a Item Background Color property of white. 6.0 displayed the prompt with a gray background as the Prompt does not have a Prompt Background Color property of its own (used the Canvas Background Color or is a transparent object?).
With 6i, the Item Prompt uses the Item Background Color property. There appears to be no means of overriding this new appearance!
We will not be changing the color scheme for our client base. Some clients are still getting accustomed to the new (old) GUI interface.
Is this a bug that 6i has introduced or was this purposely changed? If this is a bug, when will a fix be available, as this does not visually display well.
If this is the new method for displaying prompts, a new Item Property needs to be added:
Prompt Background Color
Please respond ASAP as the conversion to 6x will begin in July and I need to determine which release to use (6.0 or 6i).
Thanks.

Hi John:
I have the same problem -you have seen my post-, but only with Forms 6i. I have used version 2, 5 and 6 and i don't have any problems with PROMPT BACKGROUND COLOR.
Then, it's a bug and i recommend you use Forms 6 with patch 7.

Gettng item property - prompt visual attribute

have set the prompt visual attribute to 'ACTIVE_COL'
SET_ITEM_PROPERTY ('TEST',PROMPT_VISUAL_ATTRIBUTE, 'ACTIVE_COL')
but when I try to get the value back it return 'CUSTOM'
GET_ITEM_PROPERTY ('TEST',PROMPT_VISUAL_ATTRIBUTE)
Why???

I have overcome this problem by setting item property in form design to 'ACTIVE_COL' then change it back to 'DEFAULT'
it works fine.

Setting Prompt Visual Attribute Group

Hi,
i'm trying to set the prompt visual attribute for a text item is the Forms Builder 6i patch 5. The only available choice is default. I'm using a named visual attribute for the text item and it's working just fine.
thanks.

Sorry about this one. I've forgot to change the visual attribute type for prompt.
thanks.

STUDENT WITH VISUAL PROBLEMS

Dear Adobe,
currently I'm working in a school with young people of 18 years old. The students all study graphic design and learn indesign, photoshop and illustrator. All of our students have a disability (physically or autism). One of them has a serious problem with his eyes. For example, when he's working in Indesign he can't see the hairlines- and the design he makes are not good as a result. Can we adjust settings, line-thickness or anything? (Zooming doesn't do it) Hopefully we can find a sollution because otherwise he will fail this year's course. greetings Bert

I think you're missing the point. We are evaluating if the student can
stay at the school because his visus-problems are so big (multiple
problems-not only hairlines). So now we are asking for help, if you
know a sollution, I would like to hear it.

Hairlines? What is their use?

And why cannot his designs avoid the use of hairlines? Seems rather
harsh to fail a student for the inability to avoid the use of
hairlines.

Migration Jdev 11.1.1.1 to Jdev 1.1.2, IDE visual problems with ADF design

Migration Jdev 11.1.1.1 to Jdev 1.1.2, IDE visual problems with ADF design
CONTEXT
I’ve been working my project with Jdev11.1.1.1, when I migrate to JDev 11.1.1.2. I realized that my project didn’t compile successfully as before besides I couldn’t see the design view in a WYSIWYG mode on my JSF pages.
I had installed (initially) in C:\oracle\Middleware Jdev 11.1.1.1 with WLS 10.3 (default in Installer)
A couple days ago I realized about the new Jdev release JDev 11.1.1.2 and I decided to migrate because of the IDE improvements such as Bugs Solutions, Maven support, code templates, etc).
The new version seemed to be non-compatible with WLS 10.3 because I couldn’t mount it in the same middleware so I installed the new one in C:\oracle\Middleware11g2, JDev 11.1.1.2 with WLS 10.3.1 (default in Installer).
EXAMPLE
I have created a new sample Project named JDev112App, it only has 1 java class, 1 ADF template and 1 JSPx to show the errors and differences between releases of the IDE… However, I also have added the screenshots of the Project in each IDE, also I have included a screenshot of my real project (Business App).
NOTE. Business APP project is under subversion SVN and the migration was done successfully when JDEv 11.1.1.2 opened it (it migrated automatically).
What should I do?? .. thanks

http://comunidadoraclehispana.ning.com/forum/attachment/download?id=2315969%3AUploadedFi38%3A15784

I think that the problem could be preferences/settings migration from Jdev 11.1.1.1.0 to JDev 11.1.1.2.0, because I migrated not only the application but also the JDev preferences ( "Documents&Settings...Jdeveloper..." ).
I have installed in a new machine without previous version of Jdev the new release JDev 11.1.1.2.0 and when I deploy my test application with errors ( showed in this post ), it works fine and also the design view is correct.
I am not SURE but I think the bug or problem could be also the preference/settings migration between JdeveloperS.
Can anybody tell me the real reason?? How can I fix it ... I don’t want to import each of my settings manually in JDev 11.1.1.2.0 ( I mean templates, javadocs settings, connections, repositories, etc).
Thanks in advance for your help,

Print / Export form data from Visual Composer

Hello everybody,
I want to print data from a visual composer form (export to PDF and print afterwards is another option). I am using CE 7.1 EHP1.
Is there any tutorial for that?
I only found this one [Exporting Data|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/VC/Exportingdatafrom+VC]. But this is not the right one for me. Printing from a table is no problem, but I want to print data from several forms.
How can I export the data to an adobe interactive form?
Thanks ahead

Hello Bernd,
Unfortinatelly, there is no way to Export and Print from the Form View Interactor (This is ALV feature, not VC and they support only the Table Interactor)
From the VC side, you can add the Button to the Form View Toolbar with the Print Action, but in this case, the whole application will be printed
Best Regards,
Luba

Microsoft Forms and Microsoft Visual Basic while opening the Excel file

Hello,
I have issues with 2010 64 bit Office Pro Plus Excel. Whenever I open an Excel file (97-2003 worksheet) which has macros then I get below 2 errors in sequence.
Please note that all macro settings are enabled and below are my system configs.
Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit,
MS Office Pro Plus 2010 64 bit with SP2.
Googled all and tried but in vein and also note that I dont have any .exd files under ../forms to delete. Please help.
Please note that for others with same system config/office versions and same 97-2003 worksheet it works so issues is only in my system.
First Error
Microsoft Forms
Could not load an object because it is not available on this machine.
Second Error
Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications
Compile error in hidden module: MainUtilities2.
This error commonly occurs when code is incompatible with the version, platform, or architecture of this application. Click "Help" for information on how to correct this error.
Thanks.

Your macro's will not run in a Office 64 environment only in a 32bit environment. The 64bit environment has a whole different setup and macro's created in an earlier 32 bit environment will stop working.
So if you want to use them in a 64 Office environment you have to rewrite the macro's.

Crystal Reports Viewer - pdf, prompts, icons problem

Hi all,
I am a new in BO.
I have some answer about Crystal Reports Viewer (not about setup.exe but about CRV application that I uploaded on Tomcat)
1) The old version (11.5) works good, only Export to PDF functionality is wrong. There are in the pdf file wrong display of specific czech characters (charset)
2) A new version, Crystal Reports Viewer 2008, show the same pdf mistake. I have J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 4 and Apache Tomcat 5.5.9.
I upload application on Tomcat, configuration (web.xml, crconfig.xml and context.xml) is the same with version 11.5.
Crystal Reports Viewer 2008 displayed reports, but the problem with PDF is present. The second problem is the look of CRV. First one, the icons (for export, print...all icons) are not displayd. I can copy old jar files into java (in application folder C:\WebReports\WEB-INF\lib), but then CRV looks like old version.
And CRV 2008 doesn't display listbox in dynamic prompt on crystal report. What shall I set to displaying prompts in CRV 2008 (on CRV or on report in Crystal 2008)?
Have you some idea? What and how can I set and configure application and where?
Veronika

Hi,
To confirm, are you talking about "Crystal Reports Viewer 2008" http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/reporting/viewer/index.epx
I suggest sending in the report, in the viewer, select "Help" - "General Feedback" and then pick the option to attach the report. In a couple of months there will be a refresh version of this view which will have Czech language support so it would be good if we could test out your PDF issue.
As for showing parameters in the prompt panel in Crystal Reports Viewer 2008, since the viewer cannot refresh the data, make sure the parameter does not used in the record selection formula but only in the saved data selection formula.

Forms Service verification program problem

I have a java verification program that is run from a HPUX server cron job to check
the status of my 9.0.2.12.2 Oracle 9iAS Forms Services running on a
Windows 2000 server. The program determines if the Forms Services
restarted after a cold, off-hours backup by retrieving and reading
base.htm.
I have 3 windows servers with "identical" configurations of 9iAS Forms
Services. The java verification program works when running against the dev and
test Forms servers but not against the production Forms server. It
did work against the production Forms server until I upgraded to
9.0.2.12.2 a few months ago. The only way to reproduce the problem
against the test Forms server is to rename base.htm so the program
can't find it. default.env,forms90.conf,formsweb.cfg all appear to be
identical. Paths and other environmental variables are identical on
the windows Forms servers. The java program fails or succeeds
consistently on 3 different HPUX servers both in cron and from the
command line.
The error message is: java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP
response code: 500 for URL:
http://productionserver:7778/forms90/f90servlet
Java is 1.3.1 on all environments.
import java.io.*;

catch( Exception exception ) {
System.out.println(exception);
public static void main(String[] args)
auRLTest uRLTest = new auRLTest();
Accessing "http://productionserver:7778/forms90/f90servlet" from IE works fine.
Any clues or ideas are appreciated.
Thanks

I went through the same thing. Look at Appendix II "Case Study" at http://rootshell.be/~yong321/freeware/ckweb.html. Basically, the forms servlet needs some more HTTP headers you didn't pass.

Adobe Interactive forms & WebDynpro for java problem with IE7 and IE8

I have Interactive form ui-element in WebDynpro for java (ver. 7 SP 10) application. It works fine with IE6, but in IE7 (or IE8) it doesn't show that ui-element at all. We have tried to change IE7 security & advanced settings, but we have not made any progress. We have also tried to install/uninstall different Adobe reader versions etc.

I know a little more about the problem now. After viewing the XML source I change the property of the inputfield.
It was like this:
<field name="verdipers_felt" y="130.7001mm" x="180.1801mm" w="101.6004mm" h="44.4501mm" locale="no_NO" access="ReadOnly">
but i changed the access to be nonInteractive
<field name="verdipers_felt" y="130.7001mm" x="180.1801mm" w="101.6004mm" h="44.4501mm" locale="no_NO" access="nonInteractive">
now view2 shows the linebreak as in view1... Buut! when im going back to view1 from view2, the linebreaks gets converted into spaces
thats pretty wierd, aint it?

Calling BIP from Oracle Forms: Having Java version problem.

<h3>
Hi,
I tried to call a BIP report through Oracle Forms.
I followed this PDF.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/xml-publisher/docs/Forms_BIP_v22.pdf
Problem is, when I run the form, I get this error (copied from the Java Console)

I am using Forms Forms [32 Bit] Version 10.1.2.0.2.
JDeveloper Version is 10.1.3.5.0.
The Forms 10g Java version is 1.4.
So according to what I discovered on the net, the problem is: My JInitiator is 1.3 using JRE 1.3, BUT my .JAR file is Java 1.5.
Since we are using the Oracle JVM, ticking “Use JRE 1.5..” in the Advanced tab of the Internet Explorer Options has no effect.
We cannot upgrade the Oracle JInitiator to a 1.5 since there is no such JInitiator version. JInitiator is available only up to 1.3.1.30.
What can I do. What if I install Java 1.3 in my machine and re-compile my JAR file with that? Will that work or is there another solution?
Has anybody encountered this problem?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
C.S.

Hi,
Yes, you need to compile your source files with JDK 1.3 (since JInit 1.3.x.x uses JDK 1.3).
Other solution would be to use JRE 1.5 (instead of JInitiator).
Check out [this thread|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=550563] on how to use JRE1.5

Interactive PDF Form in Landscaped Page; Problems with Additional Pages

Please see the attached screenshot.
I created a form (in Word) which has 10 pages of the exact same fields except for the side number (the 10 pages number from 1 to 200) which numbers each line to be filled out by the end user.
I have created each field for page 1 (no easy feat as Acrobat 11 did not recognize most of the necessary fields) and all of the checkboxes must be grouped so that only one checkbox is able to be picked. When I try to distribute each of the fields to the other 9 pages, or even if I copy and paste the fields to page 2, then the fields turn portrait rather than landscaped and I am unable to rotate them.
I have tried extracting page 1, rename it to page 2, update the numbering scheme (which throws everything out of alignment), and then reinsert it behind page 1, and again, it rotates the landscaped fields to portrait.
Is there any way possible for me to EASILY recreate this page nine more times (I have already spent approximately 10 hours working on this one page getting everything created and lined up correctly)?
In doing some research yesterday, I saw that this was a software limitation issue and that Acrobat does not allow fields in landscaped pages to be recreated as landscaped fields (I do not have this problem with the same type of form created in portrait pages and can distribute fields all day long through pages and pages of PDFs.
Does anyone have any suggestions or guidance that I can draw upon other than having to create each page separately (I just do not have the time as the one page took me about 10 hours)?
Thank you so much!

That's very disappointing ...
Thanks Bernd, for your answer!

Forms not prompting to save

I created a form... and noticed that when I go to record and choose insert it.. insert record and then exit out of form it doesn't give me the prompt anymore to save.. I did get this message before but not anymore... what could be a possible fix for this issue..
Thanks

Before when I was working on this it asked me if I want to save changes or notCan you go back to the original version and try again? It is the default to ask if you want to commit, so you must have changed something somewhere, like exit_form(no_commit). Or maybe a clear_record?
