Forms 9i Help

We are going to implement 9iAS/9iDS, I am playing with the windows personal version of 9iDS with OCJ4 to enable web deployment. I am able to see the forms and reports running just fine. Here are my basic questions, I wish some one can answer them for me(taking time),
1. Real time, once 9iAS is on UNIX, where to store FORMS and REPORTS, is there is specific directory?
I know that Forms need to be compiled in UNIX again, I have information about that, once compiled in UNIX, where do the .fmx files go?
2. As a developer, do I need to do anything about single sign on?
3. Is there a place that I should keep any re-usable attached libraries on UNIX?
Thx,
Sri

You need to set form path in your default.env if your formsweb.cfg use default.env

R12 upgrade issue:Not able to login using forms:Please help****urgent

We have recently upgraded our instance from 11.5.9 to 12.0.4 in Windows 2003 server.
We are unable to login to forms after upgrade, however we are able access self service responsibilities without any issues.
We are getting APP-FND-01496 when we access any forms responsibility. We have tried all possible metalink notes with no luck.
Any help to resolve this issue will be appreciated.

Email Notifications stop working on all of my forms. Help?

Email Notifications stop working on all of my forms. Help?

This may be an indication that your incoming mail server has started treating all of those messages as SPAM, and is deleting them. Try setting those messages go to an outside e-mail account, submit a test submission of your form, and see what happens. It might at least help in tracking down the problem. If you find that the messages go to an outside account, work with your Postmaster to get the messages coming from FormsCentral whitelisted. It might still be something else, but this is something you can try to narrow the possibilities.
Hope that helps,

I cannot open some pdf files online with Reader XI (like sample forms in Help section).

I cannot open some pdf files online with Reader XI (like sample forms in Help section or IRS.gov or credit card statements). I have uninstalled Reader XI, cleaned and reinstalled. I have no problem right-clicking and downloading and then viewing the files. No problem viewing acrobat files. I'm runnnig Windows 7, IE9. I can acces them through Chrome.

RESOLVED
I found two suspect programs that were installed within the last 48-hrs that may have caused the problem
1) - Libre Office - latest update. This is a fork of Open Office. (unlikely)
2) - ManyCam video manipulation software (likely)
Following info here, I opted to try to open an Adobe PDF file that was on my hard drive. When I did, it refused and IE10 gave me an ActiveX error (AHA!!). When I checked the installation of ManyCam, it had installed a version of DirectX that may have over-written the resident versions or disabled them somehow.
I uninstalled ManyCam but left Libre Office's update in place, then I ran a system restore from a point 24-hrs before the installations.
This resolved the problem 100%.
So, the suggestion here is that there may be one or more program in the wild that is interupting the ActiveX or DirectX systems. They may be running or installing an older version. In this case it appears the handlers were broken.
Once the system restore had completed I was able to open Adobe PDF files within my IE10 browser from the Internet as well as open PDF files from my hard drive.
Note that this same issue also clearned up a problem I was having with the Comodo Dragon web browser, which is a fork of the Chrome project. Once I eliminated the suspect program and ran the system restore all was well. In the instance of the Comodo browser it was unable to open or reach anything - dead white screen below the menu bar.
So my suggestion would be to take an inventory of recent program installations, remove/uninstall them, run system restore from a date before the suspect programs were added, and see what happens. In my case that fixed the problem.

Forms Online help disappeared

Previously (at least until last week) the Forms Online Help was available here:
http://www.oracle.com/webapps/online-help/forms/10g/state?navSetId=_&navId=0
but this link results in a 404.
It would be the same as the one shipped with Forms Builder, but it's a little bit hard to post links to my local online help when I want to suggest to use a documented builtin...
Could someone please restore the documentation or at least update the announcement here with the URL where the documentation is located now?
cheers

It might have to do with SSL/SSO implementation they put into production recently. Since the forums are on SSL and the new fancy login screen got added the whole forum seems to behave quite unstable. I get the "We are sorry blah blah blah" screen almost every second time I click on a link here in the forums. Hopefully they didn't vaporize the docs permanently as it was a good resource to point to....
cheers

Forms 6i help not displayed on Windows 7

Hello to everyone!!
A few days ago have installed Forms and Report 6i on my computer.
Both Forms and Reports are working well, but the only problem I get is that the help (using the F1 key or accessing the help via the menu) is not displayed. The only thing I get to see is a Window error alert without any text.
What must I do to get the "normal" Forms help screens?
I hope that you can help me.

Adobe forms search help

Hi,
How can we create the adobe forms search help,can anybody suggest.
Regards,
Aravind.

hi, Jkuma,
we met the similar situation with you while developing a anpplication form for HR.
our conclustions are:
1. it's not feasible to put all the data into the form, it will make the form too big and slow, so it must be a online interactive form
2. you may put a search field to let the user to input some kind of criteria and do the search on the r3 side and return the hit list on the form , but it's not so easy to develop a table control on the form using javascript to get the selected one.
3. so we built a 'selection screen' , using webdynpro for abap,
it will show up before the form, while can use ddic search help, to make the selection, then put all the selected entries into the adobe form for further processiong.
how this is helpful hint for you.

Install Forms FT Helper Failure

Hi All,
We were finally successful in installing OATS on the same computer in which HP QTP is already installed.
OpenScript records fine when the module is Web .
For a new script when I selected the Oracle EBS/Forms module and tried recording I get the below error upon clicking the Start Recording button.
I think there is some conflict between OATS & QTP.
Any workaround to solve this issue is greatly appreciated.
PS:QTP works fine with Forms applications as before.

I was able to “disable” the HP QTP tool that disallowed OpenScript to function correctly in Oracle EBS/Forms. Here are the steps taken to perform that:
1.     Click on the Start Menu > Right Click on Computer > Click Properties
2.     On the left column, click Advanced system settings
3.     Towards the bottom right of the new window, click Environment Variables
4.     Under the Systems Variable header, we will need to find the following variables: JAVAOPTIONS+, IBM_JAVA_OPTIONS and JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS.
5.     Double click on each one and append ‘+_bak+’ to the end of each (i.e JAVAOPTIONS+ will now be JAVAOPTIONS_bak+).
6.     When finished, click OK on this window
7.     Click Apply and then OK on the next window
8.     Restart OpenScript.
Now we are able to use OpenScript for Forms. This probably breaks QTP for the time being but we will rename these variables back to their original values when QTP is finally installed.
Rationale behind the fix: When QTP was installed, it needed special instructions for the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) in order to properly parse and recognize the Oracle EBS/Forms (which are written in Java). By adding these new variables, you see that they are simply flags that direct the JVM to use HP’s assembler for the JVM (file name: jasmine.jar). By renaming these, we are reverting the JVM back to using the original assembler built in to Java.
I will continue to do further testing to ensure that the changing of these variables haven’t broken anything else but as of now, the problem is resolved and I have regained the ability to record and playback Oracle EBS/Forms.

Form Assistance HELP

I am creating a form where I have a drop down box with two options. I would the next text box to populate with a certain number if option is selected and to have the user populate the text box if the other option is selected. Help please.

Thanks for your assistance.
What are the two items in the combo box?
The two itmes in my combo box named style are Domestic and Global
Did you set export values for either of the items? If so, what are they?
I did not set one for Domestic because there are three different value for the suffix, but I did set on for the Global which is XX because Global does not have a suffix
Do you want to allow the user to be able to edit the entry in the text field after you automatically populate it with the number?
What I would like to happen is if the user selects Global the suffix populates with XX, but if they select Domestic they are allowed to input the suffix.
What is the number that you want to automatically populate the text box with?
XX for Global, user populated for Domestic
What is the field name of the text box?
suffix
Thanks again for any assistance you can give.

Report/Form Please help

Hi All,
I need to know if there is a way to show a report with values from multiple tables that links to one form. I have limited experience and need the help.
I have a table (table3 "ProCon") that links two separate tables (table1 "Project" and table2 "Contact") via a unique key. I want to be able to show project name and contact name for user to make sure they are editing correct account when linking over to PROCON table to update or create new. I get errors no matter what I try to do.
This is our first application that we are trying to go live with and this is the only matter that is holding us up.
Help would be extremely appreciated!!!

Hi,
with those different updates you can address different tables.
Of course you have to store the correct primary keys as items and use them in the where clause of the update statement.
The foreign key constraints will be automatically enforced....
Using the procon linking table is the correct way to implement many-to-many relations in a relational database.
If I look at your table schema, you have O -> C -> ProCon <- P <-SBIR
which is correct from a modeling point of view!
You can create a view which brings all the relevant infos together. About the issue of updateable views within Oracle, you should consult the manual ;-)
If I am facing a similar problem within Apex, I do construct a view for a report which brings all the relevant info together. Within the report I make cells clickable with direction to a form then....
This is maybe not as elegant, but I can use the built-in DML functions then.
Regards
Alex

Purchase Order Form Personalization Help

I am new to form personalizations and I am trying to create a personalization that will automatically display the "last price paid" in the Price field in a Purchase Order form for an Item once the Item No. is entered. Also once the data is pulled up, they need to be able to edit the 'Price' field to enter the current price.
I am not sure how to setup my form personalization using the SQL view to I have that contains the "last price paid" data. I would really appreciate some help on how to do this in personalizations.
Thanks
KG

Forms Personalization is a feature of the Oracle Enterprise Business Suite (EBS) not a feature of Oracle Forms. Please post your question in the General EBS Discussion forum. If you have a general Forms question, by all means, ask it here! ;-)

Adobe upgrade - lost all saved data on pdf form. Help?

I recently spent weeks completing and revising a very lengthy and important application form (pdf). Upon submitting it I was told that the data could not be viewed and that I needed to update my Adobe to the latest version (11). Upon doing this I lost all saved data on the pdf forms, I wasn't pre warned about this and am extremely dissapointed as it tooks me ages to find all the information and re-word it to a high standard. Is there any way that it can be recovered?
I thought it would be in my sent emails but that is blank as well. Help?

If you used an earlier version of Reader before it would only have been possible to save the filled-in information in the file if a special right was applied to it by the authors, before you received it. If that right was not applied then you should have seen an error message saying that the file can't be saved with the data you entered.

Implement get_file_name for web forms: SOME HELP PLS

Hi ppl,
Anyone used the code in note 74140.1 as regards to the implementation of get_file_name for webforms? Because I got stuck.
Till now I managed to complie the FDialog and FDialogPJC java source and the classes are stored in the /oracle_home/forms60/java. Then I created a form with a block having two items namely, the text item and the bean area/ Then I created the WHEN-CUSTOM-ITEM-EVENT trigger. I'm a bit perplexed of where do I have to put the trigger that brings up the FileDialog. What else do I have to do to test this java bean. Till now nothing happens. I'm using Forms 6i and I never used Java Beans with Form Builder.
Thanks a lot for your help,
Cheers
Marija

Look at some of the samples on OTN and follow what they do. The examples are mostly for Oracle9i Forms, but it should still help you figuring it out for Forms 6i.
