Forms Builder problems

We are using Forms 6.0.8.10.3 in a Windows NT 4 environment. In the Forms Builder, there are two minor problems that can be worked around but would be nice to have function properly:
- unable to create any triggers other than 'Smart Triggers'.
- Unable to expand strings for editing in the property palette (ie Where clause text string).
This is happening on all the installations at our site. Has anyone else experienced these problems and been able to correct them?
Thanks.

One thing that you can check is whether the "Preferences" option "Use system Editor" is set. If it is set, Forms Builder will try to use the external editor defined by the environment/register variable "FORMS60_EDITOR".
If "Use system Editor" is not set, Forms Builder will use its own text editor.
On the question of the triggers, I do not have any problems. The "Smart Triggers" always inclue an "Other" option. If you select this option, you get a listing of all available triggers.

  • XML Forms Builder - problem with checkbox

    Hi,
    I have created many checkboxes in XML Forms Builder and if I want to create a new document based on this "Form" I have still checked one of checkboxes. I would like to have all empty  checkboxes becasue user should check the appropriate checkboxes.
    Do you know how to resolve this problem?
    Thaks for help!
    Regards,
    Andrzej Tabara

    Hi,
    is it always the same checkbox that is already filled in? Is this ckeckbox based on a metadata-definition?
    If yes: You could maybe have a look at the metadata-definition. Is there maybe a default-value defined?

  • XML Form Builder-Problem with the save button

    Hi All,
    I created a project in XML Form Builder.
    I included a button "Save" in my project.
    All is working fine when i preview my project in XML Form Builder.
    The problem is when i run my project with iview.
    I suppose the form to save my input and then to be closed but
    unfortunately it did not.
    I don't know where the problem is as in the XML Form Builder everything seems ok.
    Thank you for your help!
    Regards,
    Ari

    Hi Carsten,
    Thank you for your help.
    There is no javascript error in the form.
    In the status bar when i have my mouse over the button i can see "javaxcript:HrefSubmit('save',"");"
    And when push the button "Transering Data..."
    I created the form in the Xml Form Builder and in preview there the project works.
    What do you mean "Did you access your Form using the KM Admin Explorer via a comman?"
    How can i have acess there?
    I appreciate you help!

  • Form Builder Problem

    hi all,
    when i open form builder and report builder in my system, it is not opening only minimize in task bar.
    if any body can help me then pls give some solution for that.
    Thanks.

    I've had this happen on various installations and various versions of Forms over the years. The solution is is use Maximise on the minimised window and then at least you can use Forms :) When Forms is shutdown and restarted it may of may not sort itself on and remember it's normal settings.
    Otherwise, I think I mucked about with the windows screen resolution ie: made it bigger - eventually Forms seems to sort itself!

  • Can't run form from Form Builder 10g - Port configuration problem?

    Hi,
    I have installed the Database (10.2.0.1.0) and the Developer Suite (10.1.2.0.2) on two Linux machines (Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES 4 Basic).
    If I enter the frmservlet-URL manually everything seems to be fine.
    In one case I enter http://127.0.0.1:8890/forms/frmservlet, in the other http://127.0.0.1:8889/forms/frmservlet; in BOTH cases I get eventually a dark square and the status bar says "Applet oracle.forms.engine.Main started".
    HOWEVER, if I create a simple form with Form Builder and click on the Button with the green traffic light ("Run Form"), the form runs only on the machine where frmservlet listens on port 8890.
    On the other machine (frmservlet configured to listen on port 8889) Firefox pops up, the URL "http://127.0.0.1:32979/6dOrpwghCqnp8PhMT7KVT533m3IaArqFbPqPBOztZXWYSsNy" gets called, and nothing else happens. The screen displays the string "ORACLE FORMS." and the status bar says "Waiting for 127.0.0.1...", and it stays like this forever.
    I assume this is a port configuration problem, but I don't have a clue where to start.
    Any suggestions how I should proceed are greatly appreciated.
    Thank you very much in advance!

    Hi Frank,
    Thank you for your reply.
    I doublechecked my configuration.
    In the dialog Edit --> Preferences --> Runtime the Application Server URL is set to "127.0.0.1:8889/forms/frmservlet".
    However, when I attempt to run the form, the URL "http://127.0.0.1:33140/W2dwbV9eXS2fPkuKlxNhCxFWdEihwDviat2uV7ycrSotqwDN" gets called.
    The screen displays the string "ORACLE FORMS." and the status bar says "Waiting for 127.0.0.1...", and that's it.
    I wonder how the port number 33140 got selected. Interestingly, this time it is a different number; last time it was port 32979. In fact, the port number seems to change each time; I tried again and now it is 33189.
    I will now try to set the port number for the frmservlet to 8890.
    I choose Edit --> Preferences --> Runtime and set the application server URL to "127.0.0.1:8890/forms/frmservlet".
    I stop the container, open /home/oracle/OraHome_1/j2ee/DevSuite/config/default-web-site.xml and change the port number to 8890:
    <?xml version="1.0" standalone='yes'?>
    <!DOCTYPE web-site PUBLIC "Oracle Application Server 10g XML Web-site" "http://xmlns.oracle.com/ias/dtds/web-site.dtd">

         <!-- The default web-app for this site, bound to the root -->
         <default-web-app application="default" name="defaultWebApp" root="/j2ee" />
    <!-- Do not delete this line. -->

         <!-- Access Log, where requests are logged to -->
         <access-log path="../log/default-web-access.log" />
    </web-site>
    I restart the container, start Form Builder, connect to the database, and open my test form.
    When attempting to run the form, the URL "http://127.0.0.1:33437/Pl0n3ky9vmU5z37A7ScBnQhsGwq3jwuzJpgTAKWPMOYIzT8K" gets called (again a new port number, apparently picked radomly within a certain range) and nothing happens: "Waiting for 127.0.0.1...".
    However, when I enter the URL http://127.0.0.1:8890/forms/frmservlet I do (eventually, after confirming that I trust the certificate etc.) get a darc rectangle and the status message "Applet oracle.forms.engine.Main started", which tells me that my setup can't be that far off target.
    Here is the output of netstat:

    Hi,
    If you used the standard installation for reader, the path should have been /usr/lib32/Adobe/Reader8/bin and not /usr/lib32/Acrobat/Reader8/bin. Could you confirm how you performed the installation?
    The solution is to uninstall and re-install the reader using the standard location. We highly recommend that you install under /opt if it's a system-wide installation. Installing under /usr/lib32 seems strange given that the reader consists of more than just libraries.
    If that's not possible, you can fix it by tweaking the INSTALL script that is part of the language pack installer. Change line 198:
    from:
    198 if [ ! -d "$dir/Adobe/Reader8/Reader" -o ! -d "$dir/Adobe/Reader8/Resource" ]
    to:
    198 if [ ! -d "$dir/Acrobat/Reader8/Reader" -o ! -d "$dir/Acrobat/Reader8/Resource" ]
    and specify /usr/lib32 as the path of installation when prompted.
    Let us know how you progress.

  • Problem i'm facing while trying to open the form builder

    Hi all,
    I'm facing a small problem while i'm trying to open the form builder via Portal - content management - form builder, i.e., intially a dialogue box statting that :
    Applet(s) in this HTML page requires a version of java different from the one the browser is currently using. In order to run the applet(s) in this HTML page, a new browser session is required, press 'Yes' to start a new browser session.
    is getting displayed.
    when i click either of the buttons, only a statement as : java plug in dected JRE collission  get's displayed.
    If any one knows what this problem is all about, please share the same.
    thanks in advance...

    Hi Vipin,
                   It should be the problem with the JDK version you have currently got installed. Un Install the current version and install latest JDK and set your browser to use this JRE.
      Also goto System Admin>System Config>Content Admin-->Form based publishing and ensure that the check box for "Allow HTML Output" is checked.
    Regards
    Ramesh.

  • Locking problem  in Forms Builder 6i, Oracle 9i

    It appears that forms builder is issuing exclusive locks on referenced DB objects during and after compilation. This causes problems when trying to issue DDL statements against these objects while builder is connected. Is this the proper lock mode or a known bug? Anyway to control locking by forms builder?

    What is the version of your database?<br><br>
    Is this the same problem:<br><br>

  • Problems running Forms in Forms Builder 6.0.8.21.3

    I have upgraded some Forms from 4.5 to 6i. I compile and run the forms in Forms Builder 6.0.8.21.3. However I have a problem when running a specific form. When I run the form directly from Forms Builder the problem do not appear.
    But when I call the same form in Oracle Forms Runtime by calling the forms from the menu, the row with push buttons that I have defined do not appear.
    I have faced a similar problem earlier and then I solve the problem changing the order of the Data Blocks in the Object Navigator. I have tried this, but so far it does not work. Do the order of the Data Blocks affect how the Forms will be displayed? What about the order of the Canvases? I hope someone can help me with this challenge.
    I run win 2000 and do not get any runtime error messages.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards
    Roar

    Roar,
    the order of blocks does only influence the navigation but not the visibility. However, if the button bar is on a canvas that doesn't show if the focus isn't in it then having teh button block on top makes sure the focus is set there. Are the push bottons on a separate canvas or are they on the same canvas as your data ? If not, then how do you ensure that the stacked canvas gets displayed ? Anyway, running the Form from teh builder uses teh same client/server runtime that is used when running your application stand alone. So it must be something within teh navigation (I am guessing).

  • Problem with NLS_CALENDAR=PERSIAN with Form Builder 6i

    Dear All,
    I have some problem with the Persian calendar which is known for oracle. I have set NLS_CALENDAR=Persian in DB (10g) and Registry of Form Builder. Some days at the calendar when convert from Gregorian to Persian will be decrease (1 day ) for example 13870112 convert to 13870111 ( 1387 It is a leap year and begins from 20-MAR-2008) or some days will be increase for example 13861222 convert to 13861223.
    These days are correct in SQL*PLUS but are incorrect in Form Builder.
    Moreover, some days are shown like ########## in form builder.
    13870101--------> #########
    13860101--------> #########
    And at the end, when I insert a new record from Form Builder the actual date is 1 day greater in DB.
    Please Help me to find out how can I solve this problem.

  • Problem in form builder connecting to db

    Im very new to oracle technology, I have just installed oracle appdeveloper 9i and im trying to use form builder. When I try to log into my database which is also under a 9i personal database, it gives me the error "ORA-12154 TNS:could not resolve service name".

I had to install it under oracle homes in c:\oracle. my database is installed also under oracle homes c:\oracle\ora92. I checked and made sure that all the services listed under services on windows xp service manager were running, and I still got the error. Please help me, I need this to work for class.

  • Problem in Form builder

    Hello Experts,
    i have the problem when i drag and drop some elements in the form builder, i often get a short dump and the connection breaks.
    Then i have to restart sfp.

    Can anybody helps?
    Regards

    I have installed LCD 8.0 how its described here. Note 1121176 - Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.0 - Installation
    I installed 8.0 because the sap kernel is sap release 7.0
    But i have the same problem. When i start lcd with sfp and switch to layout. There comes the popup with the message Adobe LiveCycle Designer has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience. When i close this popup with 'dont send', the application terminates.
    However the problem still exist .
