Forms and Portal

when remote db is used in forms,an error is popped up saying that remote queries could not be executed.
Is it possible to build forms with portal for insert, update and delete operations.

Yes. You must create the following in the Public Schema under Database Objects.
Database link to remote database.
Synonyms for the tables you will be using.
Now under Providers, create a Portal DB Provider. I use the same name as the Database link created above.
Note: (I have not been able to create forms to the remote database using any other names.)
Now in your Portal DB Provider you can Create New Forms --> Form based on table or view . In the Table or View page type in the Public Synonym you created above. This Synonym probably will not show in the list.
This should get you started.
Good Luck

Nested Tables, Forms and Portal

I am trying to implement a form in Portal that accesses a nested table. I can access normal tables but not my nested table. The nested table within the master table are object tables.
When trying to access from the designer page I get an error indicating that table does not exist even though it was displayed in the pick list.
Has anyone had success with this and can it be done.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Originally posted by chetan.kashyap ([email protected]):
Actually nested tables are not supported by portal till now.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Chetan, can you be a bit more specific. What do you mea by 'till now'. Does this mean the next release can do it, or the current release shipped with Oracle 9i Application Server 1.0.2.0.0 for linux that I received.

Session user when integrate Forms and Portal

Hello!
Iam working with Forms made in developer suite inside Portal and want to know how the session user (the user that is logged) is obteined to insert his login with another items in a table of my own db.
i used
portal.wwctx_api.get_user()
and in another chance:
get_application_property('sso_userid');
but doesn't work....Somebody have another idea?

Hello Everybody!
i followed the steps in http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/pdf/frm9isrw9i.pdf to configure forms to use SSO, and when i try to run the form from portal i obtain the following error message:
FRM92050 failed to connect to the server /forms90/l90servlet:-1
and in the details the first error show:
User does not have proper credentials configured in OID.
First, i think that "l90servlet" is wrong because the correct url is with "f90servlet" or this refer another thing?
Second, my forms run excelent before i configure SSO, but i need this to use the get_application_property...
Please, somebody can help me? :$

Oracle Forms and portal

Does any one know how to integrate oracle forms into portal. I am using Oracle 10g?
Thanks

How do you want the integration to function? Do you just need a form to run on a page or do you need the form to interact with Portal functionality?
The former is easy to accomplish with a frame portlet. The latter not so easy but doable. Using the database as the common denominator its possible to have Forms interact with Portal thru PLSQL and data tables acting as state repositories.

Adobe forms and portal

we are using adobe forms to open and print appraisals in ess. When we click on print appraisal, adobe does not open up, i have checked connections and they look fine. We get a time out error and it looks like it is pointing to the web dispatcher OFCOMTOLS026_EWX_01
the server is ofcomtols026, EWX is the dispatcher, should the portal be pointing to this in the ERP system, where is this setup to point to this?
Any help would be great

Subha:
Your PDFs can be generated in ADS on Portal or ECC systems. From what you describe it looks like in your case it is ADS on ECC and there is a web dispatcher, doing load balancing of HTTP connects for ECC J2EE engine. In this case web dispatcher is a correct destination.
My recommendation for the troubleshooting:
1. Make sure ADS forms generated OK by accessing one of the ECC app servers directly. If Adobe form is not generated, check ADS settings. Here is a nice doc:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f03414f8-d4ce-2a10-d4b6-ab201b329d98
2. Once Adobe Form is verified, check access via Web Dispatcher. It is possible that its permission table does not allow ADS urls.
Jaya:
You should not be able to connect the portal to a webdispatcher. Only browsers talk via webdispatcher.
I am sorry, but this is not true. Web dispatcher can route pretty much any TCP/IP protocol. In most cases it is used for routing HTTP/S (not only for browsers), but it can transfer a binary format as well. One time I even used web dispatcher to do port forwarding for Microsoft WTS.

Oracle Forms and Portal. & Portal Security

I need the following questions answered for a client who is
trying to move from IIS to Oracle Portal. any pointers would be
extremely helpful
1. How to configure Oracle Forms to run with Portal.
2. Is it possible to display forms inside a Portlet. If so, will
the forms hold the same state when the page is refresed.
3. Is it possible to display WORD/PDF/EXECL documents in their
native format inside a Portlet.
4. Any information on how IIS security integration is possible
with POrtal. i.e ( if there are ASP pages running on IIS
security, how to integrate it with Portal Security mechanism
-Thanks

You can create roles in Oracle with the appropriate privileges to access the application. For example,
you could create a role that has only read access to all the tables in the database. You could assign this role to the menu. Also, you may want a role for a manager that whould enable him to insert data or to see a few special forms. You could assign this role to the menu associated with the form.
Using Form Builder, you can manage menu security with Oracle server roles. After defining the roles to use for a menu module, you could then specify the roles that have access to each menu item. When you set the 'Use Security' property of a menu module to 'Yes', the form enforces security. After setting the 'Use Security' property to 'Yes', you can use 'Module Roles' property to construct the entire list of roles with access to that menu module.
I hope it helps.

Inserting developed forms into portal

What do I need to do to insert a form I build in forms developer into my portal? Please go step by step. Thanks a lot!!

Mathew,
if you simply link from portal to forms then the required trasks are simple in that you create a link in Portal and provide the Forms startup URL. In Oracle9i Forms, Forms and Portal share the same SSO scheme so that you are fine for that.
If you like forms to be a Portlet within Portal, then there are quite some difficulties to be aware of:
1. It seems that Portal doesn't pass the full HTTP header to Forms which means that Forms does not know about the Browser type your are using (as well as the language set on the client). This measn you have to configure the application to always use JInitiator (which works on both Browser types)
2. Portal redirects the request making relative URLs fail. Make sure you use absolute URLs in the formsweb.cfg file (e.g. the serverURL parameter for the Forms Listener Servlet).
3. In Forms9i, reloading a page does restart Forms and reloading a page is what Portal does all the time. Use the Java 1.4 Plugin instead of JInitiator and set the legacy parameter to make it behave like Forms6i. Note that the change in behaviour was added by SUN in Java.
4. In Portal use the URL portlet from the JPDK to link Forms into Portal
Actually from exoerience our recommendation still is to run Forms in an extra Window.

Adobe Forms in Portal and the standard Code of Conduct

Hi All,
We have ECC6 Portal 7 Adobe Reader 7.0.8 Adobe Lifecycle and its all working.
- In R3, I have Copied the standard scenario SECC in QISSCENARIOS to ZECC
- In R3, Changed and activate the form and interface there or in SFP
- In the Portal, I can copy either the Code of Conduct iView or the IsrForm iView.
- Now the ISR Cookbook says that i must add 'PCD parameters scenario and mode'...but it doesn't say what to add them to or what the format is. Or what the values of mode might be. My scenario is called ZECC to I have tried putting scenario=ZECC into the Application Parameters of the iView and into the Parameters to Pass from Page of the iView. NOTHING.
Any ideas?
Thanks & Regards,
Jimmy.

Hi,
Well,I think you have done the required stuff from ECC side. But now for EP side, you got to create a new Java Webdynpro IView with the following Details...
NameSpace : sap.com/pcui_gp~isr
Application Name : IsrForm
Application Parameters : SCENARIO=ZECC&MODE=CREATE&sap.xss.disablehdr=True
And test the IView individually.
Let us know if it still gives you some problem.

How do I make forms and reports to stay in the Portal Page?

Hi,
I have a report with a Link to a form on my Portal Page. When I
click one of those Links, the form is opened on a separate Page,
with just the basic template and no possibility to add extra
portlets. Is there any way of controlling on which Page the
target of a Link should be displayed?

Harald, if I understand you right, this is your scenario:
You have a page with a form and a report in it. When you click
on a row in the report, you want to be able to edit that row in
the form, but still within the page (not the form all by itself).
This is not supported in 3.0.9, but it is possible with some
extra coding. Ken Atkins gave a presentation on exactly this at
the last ODTUG convention, and again at the recent VOUG
convention. Its a bit too complicated to explain here, but if
you want, email me or look for his presentation on odtug.org or
voug.org websites (not sure if the voug ones are up yet, it was
last week).
Also, be wary, since its not supported, things like that tend to
break when new versions come out.

How to open a page from a Form and pass parameters to the form on that page

I found a similar example on this forum, but it did not work for me:
declare
l_names owa.vc_arr;
l_values owa.vc_arr;
i number;
begin
PORTAL.wwpro_api_parameters.retrieve(l_names, l_values);
FOR i in 1..l_names.count
LOOP
htp.p(l_names(i) || ' ' || l_values(i));
END LOOP;
end;
By using this method i get the parameters for the Form, like the session ID, but not the parameters for the Page that the form is displayed in.
Another method I tried:
To open a Form from a Form and pass parameters works fine like this:
--In the After processing page PL/SQL event.
declare
v_id number;
blk varchar2(10):='DEFAULT';
Begin
v_id:=p_session.get_value_as_number (p_block_name=>blk,p_attribute_name=>'A_ID');
if v_id > 0 then
htp.formOpen('PORTAL.wwa_app_module.link?p_arg_names=_moduleid&p_arg_values=2649500412&p_arg_names=_show_header&p_arg_values=YES&p_arg_names=ID&p_arg_values='||to_char(v_id),'post');
htp.formSubmit(NULL,'Upload Files');
htp.formClose;
end if;
End;
But I want to open a Page containing the Form instead of just opening the Form. Is this possible to open a Page and pass paramters to the page, and then let the form inside the Page access the passed paramters. The reason for this is that a Form cannot be based on a page template, or can it? When opening the form i want to keep the left menu, which I can if it is a page based on my template with the left menu.
Best regards
Halvor

Hi,
You can do this by calling the url of the page with the form. You can then use p_arg_names and p_arg_values to pass parameters. In the called form you can get the value from p_arg_names and p_arg_values and assign it to the form field.
You can call this code in the success procedure of the calling form.
declare
v_id number;
blk varchar2(10):='DEFAULT';
v_url varchar2(2000);
Begin
v_id:=p_session.get_value_as_number (p_block_name=>blk,p_attribute_name=>'A_ID');
v_url := <page_url>;
if v_id > 0 then
call(v_url||'&p_arg_names=id&p_arg_values='||v_id);
end if;
End;
In the called form in "Before displaying form" plsql section write this code.
for i in 1..p_arg_names.count loop
if p_arg_names(i) = 'id' then
p_session.set_value(
p_block_name => blk,
p_attribute_name => 'A_ID',
p_value => p_arg_values(i)
end if;
end loop;
This code picks up the value from p_arg_values and assigns it to the form field.
Hope that helps.
Thanks,
Sharmila
