Forms 9i Browser Base

Hi,
when I run the forms 9i it opens the internet browser and all the results display on it for a particular query.
How should we get the same screen for displaying results on forms 9i as I got in forms 6i? Without using Browser?
Is there other version of forms available which support client-server environment? Which is not obselete.
Also why it is necessary to start the OJ04.. listener in order to run the forms 9i.Earlier there was not such thing in 6i.
Thanks
Behari

Hi,
I am getting the following Error during the execution of forms 9i:
FRM-90928: Positional Parameter after key on command line
Why this error come?
It is cumbersome to start OC4J instance everytime when I open and run the forms 9i.
Is there any way that I can run the form 9i without starting explicitly the OC4J instance.
ALso After setting the set separateFrame=true in formsweb.cfg file, I still get the browser for displaying the results. How should I avoid it?Please inform about this.
Thanks
Behari

Oracle.forms.webutil.browser.BrowserFunctions bean not found [SOLVED]

Hi. We develop our 10g forms on the Windows side and then deploy then on our UNIX server.
I have an application that compiles and runs fine when deployed on the UNIX-side of things, but when I attempt to run it on the Windows-side of things I get the error:
oracle.forms.webutil.browser.BrowserFunctions bean not found. WEBUTIL_SEPARATEFRAME. IsSeparateFrame will not work.
If I acknowledge this message then the form continues to run, but if it attempts to execute the WebUtil Client_Host functionality then I get the error:
oracle.forms.webutil.browser.BrowserFunctions bean not found. WEBUTIL.HOST.Execute will not work.
Any suggestions as to what I might have messed up configuration-wise on the Windows-side of things? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Ugh. I wasn't pointing to the WebUtil configuration. All good now.

Adobe Interactive Forms with Browser Apple Safari and Mozilla Firefox

Hi Experts,
We have a requirement to implement HCM P&F using Adobe Interactive Forms. These Adobe Forms will be accessed using Browser Apple Safari and Mozilla Firefox. I have come across that the Adobe Interactive Forms are not supported on these browsers. In the same regard I have also gone through the Product Availability Matrix by SAP which specifies that Forms are not support on these browser and neither SAP has future plans to support them.
PAM can be found on link: http://service.sap.com/pam
I would like to know from experts that if any of the project has successfully implemented Adobe Interactive Forms with browser Apple Safari and Mozilla Firefox or
is there any solution which can make these forms work successfully on browser Apple Safari and Mozilla Firefox.
Your early reply will be highly appreciated.
thanks
Manoj

Hello,
Mozilla Firefox is supported for Adobe Interactive Forms on Windows operation system.
Unfortunatelly we do not have support for Mac OS and Safari browser.
Please re-check the PAM.
Best regards,

ABAP base PI sheet & Browser base PI sheet

Hi
What is the differance between Browser base PI sheet & ABAP base PI sheet.

Hi,
Pls. find the details about ABAP based PI sheet & Browser based PI sheet as below so you can understand the difference between them :
ABAP List-Based PI Sheet
Definition
The PI sheet represents the result of a control recipe that was sent to a process operator and whose content is displayed as text on the screen. This means the PI sheet is an instruction for the process operator that describes how and in which order a product is manufactured. The PI sheet can, for example, contain information about the picking of raw materials as well as instructions about charging the mixer, filling silos, and so on.
The SAP PI sheet is designed for processing on the screen, which means that the process operator should enter, confirm, report, or complete data interactively. In this way, the SAP PI sheet enables communication between the SAP System (PP-PI) and process operators in production lines that are operated manually (either fully or partially).
Beside this conventional PI sheet, you can also create a browser-based PI sheet as of Release 4.6C. It has all the advantages of a browser-based application that is easy-to-operate and intuitive.
Use
Depending on the process instructions contained in a control recipe, the PI sheet supports the following functions:
·        Displaying control information such as instructions for the process operator on how to carry out production steps
·        Displaying additional notes, such as notes on specific rules that must be followed when dealing with dangerous goods
·        Recording of actual process data
·        Reporting of entered and calculated values using process messages, for example, posting goods issues and receipts or time-ticket confirmations
·        Navigating to other SAP applications outside of PP-PI to make entries and afterwards return to the PI sheet
·        Performing calculations, such as calculating dates
·        Triggering a dialog or requesting data from internal or external applications
For information about defining PI sheets using process instructions see Process Instructions for the PI Sheet. For ABAP list-based PI sheets you can use process instructions of the types 1, 2 and 4 to 7.
Structure
Each PI sheet consists of a header and a number of elements defined via the process instructions in the control recipe or by the process operator when he or she maintains the PI sheet.
These elements include:
·        Control information and notes with additional information for the process operator
·        Comments by the process operator
·        Input fields for the actual process data to be reported
·        Fields for values to be calculated by the system
·        Pushbuttons that enable the process operator to call user-defined function modules or the QM function for recording inspection results
The data contained in the PI sheet is displayed on an overview screen and various detail screens for the individual elements.
The following paragraphs provide details on the individual elements and their functions within the PI sheet.
For information on how to define PI sheets using process instructions, see Process Instructions for PI Sheets.
The PI sheet is made up of the following sections:
The Header
The header is shown at the very top of a PI sheet's overview screen. It contains information on the following:
·        The status of the PI sheet
·        The process order for which the PI sheet was created
·        The material to be produced
·        The process operator or group of process operators responsible for maintaining the PI sheet
The Phases
The lower section of the PI sheet comprises the phases. Depending on the content of the process instructions, they can contain the following information:
·        Control information
Control information for the process operator is displayed on the overview screen of the PI sheet. The information to be displayed is defined in a process instruction of the type u201Cprocess parameteru201D. In the PI sheet, the number of the process instruction and the corresponding phase of the process order is displayed before the control information.
·        Additional information
Additional information on a process step can be displayed on detail screens within the PI sheet. The information to be displayed is defined as a note in a process instruction of the type u201Cprocess parameteru201D.
On the overview screen of the PI sheet, one or more pushbuttons are displayed below the corresponding control instruction. You can use these pushbuttons to call up the information on the detail screens.
·        Comments
Within the PI sheet, the process operator can create comments on individual process steps. These comments can either be saved in a special comment sheet within the PI sheet, or they can be reported to process management using a process message.
The comment sheet can be accessed from the PI sheet's overview screen by choosing the corresponding menu option or the corresponding pushbutton in the header.
Comment messages always refer to a specific process step. If a comment message has been created in the PI sheet, the document symbol as well as the beginning of the comment are displayed to the right of the corresponding control information. You can display the entire comment on a detail screen.
·        Input values
On the overview screen of the PI sheet, input fields are provided for the actual process data to be reported. The values to be reported are defined in process instructions of the type u201Cprocess data requestu201D.
Single input fields are displayed to the right of the preceding control instruction. If several values of the same type are to be reported, a corresponding table is displayed below the control instruction and the other input fields.
·        Signature
A signature is a special type of input value that marks the end of a process step within the PI sheet. By executing a signature, you confirm and report the data entered or calculated in the process step. If you have made the corresponding system settings, you must execute a signature with a password or a digital signature.
Like any other input value, the signature is defined in a process instruction of the type u201Cprocess data requestu201D.
·        Values to be calculated
If you want the system to calculate a value in the PI sheet, a field for this value is displayed on the overview screen to the right of the preceding control instruction. If the value has not yet been calculated, the field contains a question mark (?). Values to be calculated are defined in process instructions of the type u201Cprocess data calculation formulau201D.
·        Inspection results
If inspection results are to be recorded for an operation or phase, the Record inspection results pushbutton is displayed in the PI sheet to the right of the preceding control instruction. Using this pushbutton, you can branch to the QM function for recording inspection results.
The operations or phases for which inspection results are to be recorded are defined using a process instruction of the type u201Cinspection results requestu201D.
·        Dynamic function calls
If an SAP function module is to be called within the PI sheet (for example, to access order confirmation or material quantity calculation, or to start a user-defined function), a pushbutton with which you can start the function is displayed to the right of the preceding control instruction.
The function to be called is defined using a process instruction of the type u201Cdynamic function callu201D.
Integration
To create ABAP list-based PI sheets, you must send your control recipes to a control recipe destination of type1 : control recipe transfer to SAP PI sheet.
Browser-Based PI Sheet
Definition
As of Release 4.6C, you can also create PI sheets in HTML layout. The browser-based PI sheet is an enhanced version of the ABAP list-based PI sheet. It offers a new user interface that is intuitive and easy-to-operate.
To be able to use the browser-based PI sheet correctly, you must install Microsoft Internet Explorer (version 5 or greater) and make a few security settings in the Internet Explorer. For more information, see Setting Up the Browser for PI Sheets and Cockpits.
The PI sheet represents the result of a control recipe that was sent to a process operator and whose content is displayed as text on the screen. This means the PI sheet is an instruction for the process operator that describes how and in which order a product is manufactured. The PI sheet can, for example, contain information about the picking of raw materials as well as instructions about charging the mixer, filling silos, and so on.
The SAP PI sheet is designed for processing on the screen, which means that the process operator should enter, confirm, report, or complete data interactively. In this way, the PI sheet enables communication between the SAP System and process operators in production lines that are operated manually (either fully or partially).
Use
Depending on the characteristic-based process instructions or XSteps contained in a control recipe, the PI sheet supports the following functions:
·        Displaying control information such as instructions for the process operator on how to carry out production steps
·        Displaying additional notes, such as notes on specific rules that must be followed when dealing with dangerous goods
·        Recording of actual process data
·        Reporting of entered and calculated values using process messages, for example, posting goods issues and receipts or time-ticket confirmations
·        Navigating to other SAP applications outside of PP-PI to make entries and afterwards return to the PI sheet
·        Performing calculations, such as calculating dates
·        Triggering a dialog or requesting data from internal or external applications
For further information on defining PI sheets using characteristic-based process instructions or XSteps see:
·        Characteristic-Based Process Instructions for PI Sheets
·        XSteps (Execution Steps)
When creating browser-based PI sheets, you can either use the standard layout defined by SAP or use your own layouts. For more information, see Layout Definition for PI Sheets and Cockpits.
Structure
The SAP Standard Layout
The following sections show you how the browser-based PI sheet is structured in the SAP standard layout and how the interface elements are displayed.
The browser-based PI sheets comprises a header and the individual phases of the process order. The header and all phases are open when you call the PI sheet and can be collapsed and expanded.
All functions are available in the context menu. In addition, a menu bar in the PI sheet header contains the functions that refer to the entire PI sheet. To display the context menu, you position the cursor on the corresponding field and use the right-hand mouse button. You can call the context menu using key combination Shift + F10.
The Header
The header is shown at the top of the PI sheet. It contains detailed information about the PI sheet that can be either hidden or displayed. If you click on the header, then detailed information about the header is displayed. The header contains information about:
·        The status of the PI sheet (test or active PI sheet)
·        Process order for which the PI sheet was created
·        The material to be produced
·        The batch to be produced if the material you want to produce is subject to batch management
·        The number of the control recipe from which the PI sheet was created
·        The number of the inspection lot if a QM inspection has been defined for the process order
The Phases
The lower section of the PI sheet comprises the phases of the process order. Each phase can be subdivided into several segments. Each time a long text is contained within a phase, a new segment is started, which is completed before the next long text.
Phases can contain the following elements:
·        Control information, notes, and input fields for long texts that are displayed on the left-hand side
·        All input fields, output fields, and pushbuttons that are displayed on the right-hand side.
·        Tables that are displayed over the entire PI sheet screen.
Interface Elements

Input help
If the SAP system provides an input help for an input value, the icon is displayed to the right of the relevant input field. You can also use Ctrl + H to call up input help.
Fixed values
If fixed values have been defined for a characteristic, these values are offered in a dropdown list.
User-defined Suggested Values
Suggested values, that you have defined in the process instruction, are written directly to the input field. At first, they are displayed in blue. To use the default value, position the cursor in the input field and choose Continue.
Add table line
The icon at the end of a table indicates that you can add more lines to the table. When you choose , the system adds a new line at the end of the table.
Deviations
If a certain value range has been defined for an input value, the icon is used to indicate input values that deviate from this value range. To get more information about the deviation, choose .
In tables, the icon appears on the right in the table field.
Comments

·         For a field:
The icon appears to the right of the field. To display or edit the comment, choose .
·         For a table:
The icon appears to the right of the table. To display or edit the comment, choose .
·         For a table field:
No icon appears here. It is only possible to tell from the Display Comment entry in the context menu that a comment is available.
·         For the entire PI sheet:
No icon appears here. It is only possible to tell from the Display Comment entry in the context menu that a comment is available.
Signature Display in Tables
If you have entered digital signatures in tables with a signature strategy, the icon appears next to that particular line. When you choose , a dialog box appears containing the signatory name, the date and time when the signature was made, and if available, a comment by the signatory.
Navigation Using the Keyboard
In the PI sheet, you can use the mouse to access all the fields and call up all the functions. In addition, you can use the TAB key to navigate between active fields. With icons, you need to choose Enter to start the corresponding function or open the dialog box. If you set the focus to the icon, for example, and then choose Enter, values will be calculated.
The following fields are active in the PI sheet:
·        Input fields
·        Table lines that are ready for input
·        Pushbuttons
·        Icons that can be clicked, such as:
¡        Expansion of detailed information

The URL doesn't seem correct: http://domain.com/form60java/oracle/forms/registry/Registry.dat
I'm expecting a slash (/) between forms60 and java. Have a look in the formsweb.cfg if any paths are misconfigured.
Also, try if the URL with the slash:
http://domain.com/form60/java/oracle/forms/registry/Registry.dat
does work when you just paste it in a browser. It should download the Registry.dat file

Reports are not called from form in browser plz help

Hi,
I have installed 9iAS+8.1.7 database on the same machine with NT4 server.My system's forms(.fmx) are running well but my reports are not running from my main form.i call reports from the
from as,
Run_Product(reports,'..\iReports\xglrxx12.rep',synchronous,RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM,pl_id,null);
Actually want to know the report's setting when calling from the from in a browser(environment variables,virtual paths etc.).
My database is installed in drive E:\8idb_home\ and 9iAS is on
G:\9iAS_home\.My systems .fmx & .rep files are in "iforms" and "ireports" folder respectively.
Plz help!
Many thanks!

Hi,
First of all thanks to Vincent Botteman for solving the prob.
Yes when i changed my call of run_product by excluding the path i have specified when calling from form it then makes a result.
Also specified the entry of your reports .rep files by giving path in reports60_path registery variable as,
Run regedit-->Hkey_Local_Machine-->Software-->Oracle here give the full path of your .rep files as an first entry in reports60_path variable.And finally not mention the path when calling reports from form as,
Run_Product(reports,'xglrxx13.rep',synchronous,RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM,pl_id,null);<--- Correct way.
Run_Product(reports,'..\iReports\xglrxx13.rep',synchronous,RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM,pl_id,null);<--- Wrong way.
Regards!

Submit Button to Submit Form From Browser

I have created a form in Adobe Acrobat Pro and uploaded it to my website. On my website, all the functions are working except for the Sumbit Button.
I know that I can change the address in the properties to mailto:[email protected] but when someone submits the button when the address is mailto:emailaddress.abc.com, it prompts a mail program (Microsoft Outlook, iMail, etc), and I DON'T want this. I want to be able to Submit this form without prompting a mail app on the user's end (Microsoft Outlook, iMail, etc). I want the form to send right from the browser to my email address (the user does not have to save the filled form and email it to me...they just click the submit button and it arrives to my email).
I tried changing the email to mail:emailaddress.abc.com instead of mailto:emailaddress.abc.com but when I uploaded the form to my website, nothing happens when they click the submit button.
I would also like the form to notify the user that the form has sent so that they do not send it multiple times or be confused if it sent or not.
You can find the form at the following link if you click on "Custom Chair Cover Form": http://cantexdistribution.com.vpaspwsp.com/shopcontent.asp?type=custom_chair_cover.
Please help me with these issues.
Thanks

Thank you for responding to my post!
Pardon me if this is a really stupid question, but what do you mean by "create a web form"? Is my fillable form that is uploaded to my site (in PDF format) not a web form already? Or do you mean create a form that is directly embedded into the website? What would I have to do to convert my already-created fillable form into a web form?
Would I have to have some server-side scripting in PHP, ASP, etc. to plug into the website server in order for the email submission to work?
Again, please excuse my novice understanding of how this works.

Display forms in Browser

Hi:
I am using the 9i DB and Forms 9iDS. I can create and compile a form in Forms, but when I run it, just a blank screen hangs and hangs in the browser, with no errors. How do I figure out what is wrong? I need to get at least one example working before I can move on. The examples in the online class are for 6i, so the instructions there aren't much help. When I looked in my portlist.ini file, there wasn't a port set for HTTP as one of the Oracle papers said there should be. Thanks in advance for help. J

Joy,
1. startup OC4J from the Oracle9iDS-->Forms entry of the Windows start menu
2. The OC4J starts a HTTP server on port 8888. Try
http://yourserver:8888/forms90/f90servlet
This should show you a simple welcome form. If this shows up, then Forms is setup correctly
3. in the forms90/server directory there is a file named formsweb.cfg. Scroll to its bottom and add
[myApp]
form=<your fmx file name>
4. Copy the fmx file into teh forms90 directory
5. Call the application by issuing
http://yourserver:8888/forms90/f90servlet?config=myApp
If you still see a blank screen then you are running Internet Explorer I guess and you did not install Jinitiator of a version taht comes with Forms9i.

Is it for the first time that ur running a form from Form Builder after installation??
If Yes then u have to run jinitiator first..
or just try to run test.fmb file from ur form builder.
If No then it may be due to some compilation error..

Pdf form crashes browser

i created a pdf form in adobe live cycle designer and when i click the link to the pdf on my website, the browser crashes. I then have to ctrl+alt+delete to end task and then a window pops up saying "xml parsing error: unclosed token (error code 5), line 5259, column 2 of file". Another one comes up after this saying "xml parsing code error: no element found (error code 3), line 1, column 1 of file"
The weird thing is if i right click the link and "save link as" the pdf will download to my computer with no problems.
Anyone know what's going on here??

Hi,
Open Acrobat and go to the preferences / internet. Check that the "Display in Browser" is checked.
Hope that works,

2 Problems with PDF Forms: Import and Launcing PDF Form in Browser

We are installing SAP sersion 2004s and I have encountered 2 problems while working through several tutorials.
1. When Adobe Designer opens from the layout in SE80, the IMPORT option (under TOOLS) does not appear. Is there an installation step(s) missing?
2. I created a simple Adobe Interactive form based on T. Jung's demo (but without the imported PDF form). Enabled is on and the binding is ok; yet, when I test the application the browser displays only a blank screen. Other Web Dynpro for ABAP tutorials have worked fine, but not the Adobe Forms. Again, is there an installation step(s) missing?
regards,
john

First make sure that you have the correct version of the Adobe Lifecycle Designer installed. I am running 7.0.050519.0. There are some OSS notes on how to upgrade to the 7.X version of the designer.
On the second problem, you probably don't have the correct version of the ACF installed. The ACF (Active Control Framework) is only used when running Interactive PDF documents - not print version ones. Have a look at OSS note 766191 and 846952. I had to uninstall my current ACF and install the 04S SP7 version (according to the two notes listed) before I could build the demo in question.
