Forms Builder Reference not complete?

Hi,
I was trying to read the Oracle Developer 6.0 Forms Builder
Reference I downloaded from the Doc folder on Technet but found
it incomplete. It looks like there should be 2 volumes but only
half of volume 1 is available.
Where I can get the complete documentation?
Thank you in advance.

null

go to the registry and delete all that are from oracle.
go to the services in control panel and stop all the oracle services that are running and make them manual. Now reinstall , think it will work.

Compiling fmb module in Form builder does not change the fmx file

Hi,
I am using Oracle Forms Builder version 10.1.2.0.2 To edit 10g2 forms.
In the last month, it happened twice that an fmb file I edited in the forms builder did not change the fmx aftrer compilation.
namely, when I opened the fmx file in the application, I didn't see the changes, but they were present in the fmb form opened in the Form Builder.
Usually when we have the fmx file open in the application, the form builder won't let me compile it - showing the following error:
FRM-30087: Unable to create form file
When this error happens and the changes are not reflected, this error message doesn't appear even though the fmx file is open in the application.
I tried deleting the fmx file, and then opening it in the application to see if there is another copy of it.
The application gave an error 40010 - can't read form.
When I recompiled the file, the fmb didn't show any changes either, even though the file was created again in the file system.
I could not find a way to consistently reproduce this problem.
Did you ever encounter such a problem?
I noticed the edit -> preferences -> general menu has the option to "save befor building".
Does it mean the Form Builder keeps a cached copy of the fmb in memory, and when this error happens it compiles the original file system fmb file rather than the cached memory copy with the changes?
Thanks,

Hey Craig,
Thank you for your response.
I verified the version of the forms on the Application Server and they are the same.
This problem is quite tricky to reproduce, it happens once every few months!
(we have about 10 developers, who are developing and testing on multiple servers - so far two of the servers showed this issue)
I've determined that the reason this happens is that:
1. The compiled fmx is vied in the application.
** for some reason, the frmweb.exe process on the server does not terminate properly **
2. The developer compiles the form again in Form Builder
3. The Form Builder does not detect that the form is open in the mal-terminated process
There usually is an error message here saying the fmx module is locked - this error happens because this message is not displayed.
I will attach an image of the process monitoring tool we use ( ProceXP ) showing the ghost process that locks the fmx module.
<edit>oops, I guess I can't attach the image- I can e-mail it if you'd like</edit>
If anyone has an idea for a solution, this will help immensely.

11g forms builder is not able to initiate the Internet explorer

Hi,
my problem is that my forms builder is not able to open the form in IE during compilation if Internet explorer is not already running but it is able to open the form in a new tab if Internet explorer is already running.
My system's specifications :-
Oracle forms builder 11g
Windows 2008 SP2
Internet explorer version :-Internet explorer 9
Please help.
Thanks,
RS

1. In the Builder verify that you have valid values for the Application Server URL and Browser Location fields in the Builder Preferences Runtime (tab). Do not leave either field blank.
2. In the browser settings, on the Advanced tab, scroll down to the Security section and check the box labeled, "Allow active content to run in files on My Computer".
3. Click Ok to save the changes. Close ALL open browsers
4. Retest

XML Form Builder does not load

I am having the following problem, when executing the Form Builder tool under Content Management, it does not load and i get the following error message:
CONNECTION ERROR: couldn't read response code*
And sometimes the window gets freezed.
I have read some previous Threads regarding this issue but the solution did not work to me.
Someting really strange is happening because if i log to port 80 (http://...) it works, but when I log to port 50000 (https://...) it does not, and that error message pops up.
I have alredy run the Enviroment check Tool and results were OK in both urls, as follows:

Hello,
Immediately after opening the XML forms editor from the Content Manager page, you will get a link Start Environment Check Tool.... Click on that and proceed for a check. It will take some 5-10 mins based on your connection speed.If every thing is successful, clear the browser cache and restart the browser and open forms editor again. It will open the data schema and properties filed and project browser and all.
I was having this problem just now and i resolved it with the above steps.
My JRE version is 1.6 and portal is EP 7 SPS 21 patched.

Form Compiles in Forms Builder but not Unix?

I have a form that compiles fine in Forms Builder (Version 6.0.8.11.3). When trying to compile the form on a Solaris Middleware Server it fails and gives several errors similar to the following:
Compiling WHEN-NEW-BLOCK-INSTANCE trigger on SFTREGS data block...
Compilation error on WHEN-NEW-BLOCK-INSTANCE trigger on SFTREGS data block:
PL/SQL ERROR 201 at line 4, column 37
identifier 'SATURN.SFTREGS' must be declared
PL/SQL ERROR 0 at line 4, column 4
SQL Statement ignored
I realize that these same errors in Forms Builder if I have not connected to the database (Version 9.2.0.4.0) before compiling so I'm guessing that there is some environment variable set incorrectly on the middleware server. I'm quite new to Unix and am not sure what variables I should be looking at...any thoughts?

We have tried both commands as indicated. We get the same errors that were in the original post as outlined below;

Adity.

Hi,
my problem is simular to Aditys: My Java Version is JRE 1.6.0_15. When I go to Content Managment --> Formbuilder, the XML Forms Builder starts automatically but it is not possible to open Data Schema. After downgrade to Java 1.4 I can not start the Form Builder, that means, after clicking on "Form Builder" in the Portal, a pop-up opens, but the XML Form Builder does not load.
Can you help me?

Form builder include text special character not printed

Hi,
When you are editing an so10-text, you can add a SAP-symbol, (a large square by example)
resulting in a number between brackets.
The form builder does not recognize this as a symbol.
It prints the number with brackets.
How do you solve this in Form builder ?
Thanks in advance
Kind Regards
Christine

Hi,
Strange you see the comma sign, I expected something like #. Anyway, which printer settings are you using? If you are using LOCL, try updating the SWIN device type. Is your system unicode or not? If it is unicode, check OSS notes for "cascading fonts".

Unable to preview - XML Forms builder

Hello gurus,
please forgive the silly question as I'm completely a newbie on the argument.
I'm trying to implement a news iview in Portal; I found an exaustive and intesting How-to guide that designs exactly my scenario:
How to Create XML Forms (NW2004)
However, I tried to start from the existing SAP_DemoNews project doing some little modifications in order to include a society logo.
So, I opened SAP_DemoNews project and did a Save as... to MyTemplateNews project.
However, even though the project seems correct as there are no errors in the generate() phase, I cannot see a preview of any module as the windows which is opened contains the following message:
XML - Forms
Item /documents/xmlforms/xfbuilder/preview/MyTemplateNews.xml does not exist
I guess there's something wrong with paths and configuration, but didn't found any reference searching the forum; could anyone provide me an help to work with previews?

Hi Matteo,
> preview works correctly on the EDIT form, while still crashes on the Show and RenderListItem forms
"the preview function in the XML Forms Builder is not supported for the RenderListItem form" (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/42/f6733c20e73247e10000000a11402f/frameset.htm)
But for Show it should work, and you said it does for standard forms delivered by SAP!?
For the default trace, you can use the log viewer in VisualAdmin (7.0) or the log viewer in NWA (7.0/7.3). VA: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/57/5f1140d72dc442e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm; NWA: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw73/helpdata/en/47/af4560fa711503e10000000a42189c/frameset.htm

Hope it helps

Trouble installing "Form Builder" with Oracle Developer 6/6i

I get the following "Error Info" message first:
"path vrf(86): Unbound variable 'path_too_long_prompt'"
Then the following:
"The Oracle Installer cannot update the system path variable to %new- path% because it is too long. Please restrict your system path to 127 characters and make sure D:\Oracle\ORADEV\bin is included in your path."
Note that the reference to the D:\ drive is correct, but how do I correct this problem with the path variable being too long?
"Form Builder" does not get installed but the "Report Builder" which follows this step in the process installed just fine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
...Barry

Yes, you can install. Install Oracle 9i DB and D2k on different HOME. Then, configure D2K tnsnames.ora as per 9iDB tnsnames.
it will work, and works fine for me.

XML Form Builder Date validation

Hi,
I have an news application to be developed in XML Form Builder. I am creating News Author part of it. It has an Date field where i have to do an validation like the user cannot enter date less than the current date. I can perform simple data type validation through the form builder. Can I perform the above said validation in XML form builder or is there an work around in getting this done.
Thanks in advance....
Regards,
Ganesh
Edited by: Ganesh Natarajan on Jun 22, 2008 3:03 PM

I guess XML Forms builder is not able to do this. You will need to create your own predefined properties for the dates and develop a metadata extension to check that the date is the correct range.

JavaBean in Form Builder 6

Dear Sirs,
to enhance an old Forms 6 application I want to use the JavaBean Area- item of Form Builder 6.
I´ve developed a Java Bean which I did export as JAR file.
In later Form Builder versions this JAR file has to be included in formsweb.cfg. But since Form Builder 6 does not have this config file where do I have to register my JAR?
It is already included in classpath environment variable but this does not seem to be enough. Form Builder throws the following error: "FRM-13008: JavaBean mit dem Namen 'oracle.forms.fd.GetCanvasProp' nicht gefunden" (meaning: Form Builder is not able to find the class of JavaBean Area item)
The class was compiled as Java 1.1 class.
Thanks in advance for any hints.
Best regards
Janek

Hi!
Do you use forms 6i on the web?
You find the formsweb.cfg in %oracle_home%\forms60\server folder
But the builder does not read the formsweb.cfg.
Try to expand the FORMS60_BUILDER_CLASSPATH registry key
in hkey_local_machine\software\oracle.
Gruesse ...

Run form from form builder

Hi,
I am using Form 6i and copied Forms60Libraries in my local machine. I am developing form which will be registered with oracle apps. Now I want to run this form locally instead of uploading into server everytime while testing which I don't have access depending on other for this move.
So, Please guide me to run this form from Form Builder locally if there is a way.
Thanks in advance.

As Alex suggested, you will need local copies of all the required Apps resource files (*.pll, *.plx, etc). Running an Apps form from the Forms Builder does not require any special setup on your workstation beyond this. However, even with all the required resource files you will run into errors each time your form calls one of the standard apps built-ins. It has been a while since I've worked with Apps, but I was able to get around the calls to these built-ins by checking if the Form was running on the web or client/server and only calling the Apps built-in if running on the web. It was a bit of a pain to setup, but it was worth being able to test my form localling from the Forms Builder rather than upload the form to the server in order to test the runtime. Here is how I accomplished this. In each trigger that calls an Apps built-in (eg: APP_STANDARD.Event) do the following. Typically, I only needed to add the following code the Form level triggers, but it depended on each form.
/* Example When-New-Form-Instance */
DECLARE
   UI_type   VARCHAR2(15) := Get_Application_Property(USER_INTERFACE);
BEGIN
   IF ( UI_type = 'WEB' ) THEN
      -- Execute Apps built-ins...
      APP_STANDARD.EVENT('WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE');
   END IF;
   -- Perform the rest of your processing here
END;Hope this helps,
Craig B-)
If someone's response is helpful or correct, please mark it accordingly.
