Forms DEBUG - help

Hello all.
I need to debug a list of forms which are running in a remote server. Because of the setup we have, i can not run them in the developer tool. I need to test them using the web based environment we have installed. I used to enable the debug mode in windows by adding the clause "/debug". I tried adding this in the web address that's calling the forms, but it didn't work. Could you please help me out?
Thanks in advance.

what do you mean when you say that i also attach my linux run form with Windows Forms builder?
I use windows forms builder just to make the make the changes i need. Because of the nature of the forms, i can neither run nor compile them in windows.
What i do, is to upload them to our linux server, compile them with a script i run from the command line, and move the fmx to the right folder. That's how i'm able to run them, otherwise i can't. If i try to run them in windows it raises an error message saying there's no http listener running in my local box...
On the other hand, I tried to run them using the "DEBUG=YES" flag, but nothing happened. I used to work with forms 4.5, and at that time, when i wanted to debug a form i just made a shortcut with that same flag. Something like: "F45RUN.EXE formname.fmx /debug=yes", so, I tried something similar in this case...
The URL I use to run the forms is "http://as4.ajc.bz:8889/forms/frmservlet/atisweb". I added the flag you mentioned at the end. Something like "http://as4.ajc.bz:8889/forms/frmservlet/atisweb debug=yes"... but it didn't work.
Any other ideas?

AR FORM 에서 DEBUG LOG 생성하는 방법
============================
PURPOSE
AR 의 주요 Form 에서 문제가 발생했을 경우 Debug log 를 발생 시켜 확인 할 수 있도록 한다.
Explanation
Debugging을 제공하는 주요 AR Forms:
Transactions workbench (ARXTWMAI)
Receipts workbench (ARXRWMAI)
Collections (ARXCWMAI)
단, ARXCUDCI Form 은 해당 하지 않는다.
Debug Setup 순서
주의)
만약 11.5.9 이상의 경우라면
<AR: Enable Debug Message Output> Profile 이 user level 에서 enable 되어 있어야 한다.
11.5.10 이면서 ARP_STANDARD (ARPLSTDB.pls) Version이 115.36이며 아래와 같이 작업 한다.
To turn on the debugging:
Set the following profiles:
FND: Debug Log Enabled = YES
FND: Debug Log Filename = NULL
FND: Debug Log Level = STATEMENT (most detailed log)
FND: Debug Log Module = % or ar% or even ar.arp_auto_rule%
만약 11.5.10 MAINTENANCE PACK (Patch 3140000) 을 적용한 경우라면
<FND: Debug Log Enabled> 이 <FND: Log Enabled> 로 그리고
<FND: Debug Log Level> 가 <FND: Log Level> 로 대체 될 것이다.
1. 문제가 발생한 Form 에 접속하여 문제 재현을 시작 한다. 문제가 발생하기 직전 까지 진행 한다.
2. menu에서 help/diagnostic/examine 을 Click 한다.
3. Block LOV 에서 PARAMETER 를 선택한다.
4. Field 란에는 AR_DEBU_FLAG 를 직접 입력한다.
5. Value 에는 다음과 같이 입력한다.
FS <path> <file>
FS 와 patch, file 사이에는 반드시 blank 가 있어야 함을 명심한다.
a)
FS
FS creates a file, displaying Forms and Server debug messages.
b)
<path>
This is where the AR Debug Log file will be written to.
To find out where the log file must be saved, type the following in
SQL*Plus:
select value from v$parameter
where upper(name) = 'UTL_FILE_DIR';
c) Decide what to call the debug log file. For example, debug2.dbg
If the file specified already exists, the new debug messages will be
appended to it. In general, it is recommended to define a new debug file for each problem reported.
d)
Full example:
Block: PARAMETER
Field: AR_DEBUG_FLAG
Value: FS /sqlcom/log debug2.dbg
위와 같이 작업 한 후 Error 가 나도록 재현 한다.
생성된 debug log 를 확인 한다.

Forms debug not working in 11g. Working fine in 10g

I am able to attach the debug of runtime with the random port number, but not stopping at the breakpoints. This is happening in 11g environment.
Same method is working in 10g environment. What additional configuration do I need to do to run a form in debug mode in 11g environment.
My configuration is here.
1. in env file, I have the debugger.jar added to Classpath
cusm.env
CLASSPATH=...;....;....;C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_FRHome1\jlib\debugger.jar;...;...;
FORMS=C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_FRHome1\forms
2. formsweb.cfg
debug=no
# Forms runtime argument: host for debugging
host=
# Forms runtime argument: port for debugging
allow_debug=false
[cusm]
workDirectory=/oracleias11g/work
envfile=cusm.env
form=frm_main.fmx
userid=@orcl
lookAndFeel=oracle
pageTitle=Development 11g
width=1050
height=800
archive=frmall.jar,customicon.jar
At runtime from the form
debug.attach;
Then in the forms designer
Debug-->Attach Debug
Enter the random port number and the server and enter.
Create couple of breakpoints in the forms trigger.
and press button in the form.
Now control is expected to come to forms designer, but not stopping at breakpoints.
When Stop debug from forms designer, the runtime session is ending.
Please help.
Thanks in advance,
Ravi

Assuming you connected to the running form successfully, it sounds like your breakpoint is not being called. In other words, if you put a breakpoint in a trigger that isn't firing then the break will never occur. A simple test would be to add a break in the WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE trigger. Since this trigger cannot be avoided, control will quickly be passed to the debugger at startup. If this works then you can assume what I mentioned, which is that your other breakpoints are not being reached.
Just to be sure, I just tested the Debugger in Forms 11.1.2.1 on Windows and it appears to work correctly.

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,

Forms online help where can I found on my disk

where can i found on my disk Oracle Forms online help (help that is embeded with Oracle Forms - with F1 button)? Is there any reference to this help on the internet?

start at otn.oracle.com/products/forms and also check out my blog entry
http://www.groundside.com/blog/content/GrantRonald/Forms_in_SOA/2006/05/25/Teaching-you-to-fish.html

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.

Forms Debugging

Help!
I have a number of procedures/functions that I have placed into a package within my Form.
In my package I also have a number of variables defined to allow data to be accessed/shared between procedures without requiring lots of parameter passing.
I have now come to debugging the code and it appears there is no way to view the current values of any package level variables. I can only see local variables in function call stack or forms :GLOBAL. variables.
How can I see the values of package variables when debugging?
Do I really have to resort to putting MESSAGE commands throughout my code?
Any help is gratefully received!

I'm not sure but I remember having used Forms debugger to trace the current value in a specfic variable during runtime.

Smart forms debugging

Hi experts,
Any body pls explain how to debug smartforms ?
Is it necessary to write print program for smart forms ?

Hi,
In the Smartform, within the Code Node you can hardcode a normal abap Break Point ..
Please set a break point in side the smartform:
BREAK <USERNAME>.
Then at the time of print/ preview the program stops there.
Example : If you set the break point in initializationas
BREAK <USERNAME>.
Program stops at break point. After that use Serach and set more break points.
>Search the program logic/Textelement/Address via search and set the break point at that code.
Other way to debug smartform is to debug the Function Module of that smartforms. If you want to debug particular smartform node that the solution would be, insert a "Program Line" just above the node you want to debug and this program line write a normal abap breakpoint. So whenever you call the smartforms, it will stop at this breakpoint and you can debug onwards.
or
SFTRACE can be used for debugging SMARTFORMS.

Did you try setting the breakpoint at a different position, maybe even a different trigger?
