Forms Flicker in Forms 9i

Forms Flicker Forms 9.0.2.11.0
Our application currently runs forms 6i using Jinitiator. We are in the process of upgrading our environment to 9i, database and forms. Because of the problems with downloading jinitiator to our user base we are looking to use IE's JVM. We see intermittent "flickering" on several forms in different scenerios. Our IE is version 6 and we do have the JVM from version 5. The screen refreshes so slowly that you can see the backdrop, it looks like someone is turning a page. It happens on field validation, LOVs, and just going from one form to another or one screen to another within a form.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Rosemary - you will (if not now but the in the future) probably have the same problem with the IE JVM since MS have stopped shipping the JVM as part of he browser. So, while it may be ok now, sometime in the future you will have to ensure a JVM gets installed. You can of course do this when youcreat the client image (so long as you have control over this).

Why do forms flicker on initial showing? (JdevX/adf/jclient)

Why do forms flicker, when they are initially shown? I am using the standard code generated by JDev. Is there a way around this? I tried delaying showing the form by a sec after it is generated, but that has no effect, it still flickers. More complicated forms seem to flicker more. Anyone know why, and if there is a way aronud this?

Dave,
These are some of the things I have noticed about the CVS integration with that are a bit "unusual".
1) Importing a module - It did not successfully check out the module afterwards... Yet I quit JDeveloper (10.1.3), and then go back in and I could then check out the module.
2) The update facilty does not always seem to "update" the repository if a file has been recently checked in? However, if I click on the CVS Navigator and expand my repository, and then back to the Application view it then seems to have refreshed my view of CVS, and it will then work. I wondered if this was caused by conflicts with my project files, as JDeveloper does have the nastly habit of updating them frequently... However, 2 other developers have also noticed this, and we have now switched back to updating whole mobules using Tortoise as it just seems more reliable.
How often does it pole the CVS server??
On the plus side- I like the revision comparison tab panel. ;-) It is better than most IDE inbuilt CVS diff tools I have seen - not as good as Beyond Compare though.
About my CVS configuration :-
Server is on Windows 2003, using CVSNT (latest version - 2.5.03 I think I installed).
Client - I changed my CVS executable to be the one shipped with Tortoise CVS, as I have it installed, and I wanted the ability to view my repository from the CVS navigator (I don't think the one shipped with Oracle 10g lets you do this). Client version is 2.5.02 I think... I would have to check that as I writing this from home.
Oh, and I have a CVSROOT environment viarable set, which lets JDev setup my CVS connection automatically.
I hope this info helps.
Cheers.....Dean

Error while calling a form from another form's menu item

I created a main form and menu module for this form.
I am calling another form from main form menu item.
i moved both the forms and menu and compiled them.
But, when i run this form i am getting an error saying
FRM 92100: Your connection to the server was interrupted
This may be the result of a network error, or a failure on the server.
You will need to establish your session.
I set the seperateframe = true
networkentries = 30
But still getting the same error.
Is there any parameter that i am missing.
I will greatly appreciate if anybody can direct me to the solution.
Thank you.
Navya.

What is the diff b\w open form and start form in scripts.

Hi,
can any one tell me what is the diff andb\w open form and start form in scripts.when we should use open form and when start form.

Hi Friend.
I have understood some usefull information and would like to share with you.
Within one transaction, you can open and close several layout sets using OPEN_FORM and
CLOSE_FORM, however not simultaneously. You can use parameters in the OPEN_FORM to control
whether the output is stored in the same print request. But also the SAP spool decides,
depending on several plausibility checks, whether new output is appended to an existing
print request or whether to create a new print request anyway.
CALL FUNCTION 'OPEN_FORM'
CALL FUNCTION 'CLOSE_FORM'
CALL FUNCTION 'OPEN_FORM'
CALL FUNCTION 'CLOSE_FORM'
You cannot combine ABAP/4 list output and SAPscript output in one print request.
START A LAYOUT SET AGAIN
Usually a print program does not print only one urging letter or one account statement, but
several layout sets for different customers. To have the output for each customer begin with
the start page of the layout set, you must start the current layout set again and again.
To start a layout set again, you must first end the current layout set and then open the
layout set again. Within one print request, first call the function module END_FORM. It
executes the final processing for the current layout set. Then start the layout set again
using START_FORM. Output then begins again on the start page of the desired layout set.
CALL FUNCTION 'OPEN_FORM'
CALL FUNCTION 'START_FORM'
CALL FUNCTION 'END_FORM'
CALL FUNCTION 'START_FORM'
CALL FUNCTION 'END_FORM'
CALL FUNCTION CLOSE_FORM
Hope your obstacle is cleared.
If not do ask me again?

How to make a billing forms in oracle forms 6.0?

hi,i want to make a sample billing form in oracle forms.my fields details
itemcode varchar2(6);
itemname varchar2(25);
quantity number(5); prompt quantity in kg
selling_price number(5);
subtotal number(5);
total number(6);
i have no idea about billing application.if i want to make "subtotal" and "total" as database item?,i only want to show the total price on "total" and "subtotal" fields.i will make "total" field as single record item.and set all others are 10 records displayed.please help me further.i want sellingprice*quantity=subtotal.at last i want to get subtotal+subtotal+n(sum of all subtotal)=total.total is a single display field at bottom.if we entered all items i want to show the total at bottom.i know my concept is so stupid.please help me to make a proper forms.real thanks for reading my question.

I think you've got worse problems than building the form.
First you need a proper data model. Billing will involve more than one table, with master - detail relations and that kind of very nice things that a database can achieve.
Then, once you have designed a datamodel that fits your requirements, you will have to build the form with the builder. It is not a hard tool, but needs a minimum learning.
Don't take me wrong, but I don't think you can come here and ask such a generic issue.

Passing values from a FORM to another FORM

Hi,
I have to pass values from FORM "A" to FORM "B". What is the best way to do this?\
Can I use a GLOBAL variable?
Thanks,
Marc.

I think he meant the global namespace.
You set a :global_your_name_here to a value and that value is available in your entire application. See the help file section on the global namespace for more information.
Forms parameters are parameters that you form picks up from the outside when it starts. The calling entity must supply them in the URL or they will be set to null. You set them up in the object navigator in the Parameters node.

How to get a values from one form to another form

Hi All,
I am using oracle forms 10g.
I have created two forms. First form named as Hotel reservation req and second form named as Hotel Res Summary.
I the first form i have one field named Requisition_number and I have one button and when i press the button in the first form the summary form is called and it need to bring all the data regarding that requisition_number in first form.
I have written a query in when button pressed Like this
declare
:Global.V_REQ_NO := :XXMBHOTRESREQ_DB.REQUISITION_NO
type r_cursor is ref cursor;
c_XXMBHIS r_cursor;
V_xxmbht XXMB_DOMHTRS_REQ%rowtype;
begin
open c_xxmbhis for select * from XXMB_DOMHTRS_REQ where requisition_number=:Global.V_REQ_NO
loop
fetch c_xxmbhis into v_xxmbht;
exit when c_xxmbhis%notfound;
--dbms_output.put_line (V_XXMBHT.REQUISITION_NUMBER);
end loop;
close c_XXMBHIS;
end;
And how to refer this to the calling form.
But now the form is opening and record is not querying can any one correct me where i went wrong.
Thanks & Regards
Srikkanth

I the first form i have one field named Requisition_number and I have one button and when i press the button in the first form the summary form is called and it need to bring all the data regarding that requisition_number in first form.If more than 1/4 of your Forms will need the REQUISITION_NUMBER then using a GLOBAL variable makes scense. However, if it is only your Hotel Reservation and Hotel Res Summary forms that will use the REQUISITION_NUMBER then use a Parameter List instead. Global variables are always of type CHAR so you could encounter conversion errors if you don't explicitly cast the value to the correct data type. Parameter object can be of type CHAR, NUMBER and DATE and offer greater flexibility. If you need an example of how to use a parameter list, open the Forms Help system, go to the Search tab and search on "Creating a Parameter List." This article give a brief overview and a list of all the built-ins associated with Parameter Lists. You will need to create a Parameter object in your Hotel Req Summary form to catch the parameter passed via the Parameter List. Then you will need to write code to do something with the value passed (usually in the When-New-Form-Instance trigger).

Cancel button on form of type form on a table or view

I am a newbie for apex. I am using 10g. I have created form on table emp(empno , name , salary ) . Form is of type Form on a Table or View.
Cancel & Save(Apply changes) button are not working at all. so I copied process reset page and execute on condition save button click. But still cancel button is not working. applcation has some other forms of type Form with a Report and are working properly. I have wasted 2 days on this problem.

Hi,
You can do that. If you have the branch to in the same form what you have to do use clear cache for that page. Click on the edit page, click on the cancel button in the left button section. scroll down to bottom and type the page 32 in the Clear cache field. However it is better to have branch to the report page (different page from the form).
Hope this will help.

Hi, I am using HP11 and iPlanet web server. When trying to upload files over HTTP using FORM ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" that are bigger than a few Kilobytes i get a 408 error. (client timeout).

Hi, I am using HP11 and iPlanet web server. When trying to upload files over HTTP using FORM ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" that are bigger than a few Kilobytes i get a 408 error. (client timeout). It is as if the server has decided that the client has timed out during the file upload. The default setting is 30 seconds for AcceptTimeout in the magnus.conf file. This should be ample to get the file across, even increasing this to 2 minutes just produces the same error after 2 minutes. Any help appreciated. Apologies if this is not the correct forum for this, I couldn't see one for iPlanet and Web, many thanks, Kieran.

Hi,
You didnt mention which version of IWS. follow these steps.
(1)Goto Web Server Administration Server, select the server you want to manage.
(2)Select Preference >> Perfomance Tuning.
(3)set HTTP Persistent Connection Timeout to your choice (eg 180 sec for three minutes)
(4) Apply changes and restart the server.
*Setting the timeout to a lower value, however, may prevent the transfer of large files as timeout does not refer to the time that the connection has been idle. For example, if you are using a 2400 baud modem, and the request timeout is set to 180 seconds, then the maximum file size that can be transferred before the connection is closed is 432000 bits (2400 multiplied by 180)

MS Word smart quotes don't paste the same into Forms 10g as Forms 6i

Hi all,
I have users who write text in Microsoft Word and then cut-and-paste it into Oracle Forms.
After some prodding by the developers, the users have switched to using the 10G version of their application instead of the 6i version.
As a background you should know that Microsoft Word uses Smart Quotes by default, which you can turn off. Smart Quotes are different ascii characters than the ascii 39 single quote and ascii 34 double quote.
When the users cut-and-paste the Microsoft Word text into the Forms 10G field, the single apostrophe smart quote does not convert to ascii 39. I wouldn't be surprised about this except that in Forms 6i the form does convert the single apostrophe smart quote into ascii 39.
So if the users use the 6i Form they can cut-and-paste and the form/database has the character as ascii 39. If the users paste into Forms 10G then the database shows the character as ascii 191 (hex 0xBF), which is an inverted question mark.
Does anyone know of any settings in Forms 10g to revert back to 6i functionality for this?
Thanks much,
Troy

I am afraid that Jan is right.
And this might be a bit of a hassle, since it might affect your forms. If you are using some standard Windows lettertype in your forms, though, you should be OK.
Bare in mind, that you the NLS_LANG.characterset will have to be compatible between database and forms (the latter at both compiletime and runtime).
Good Luck!

Connect to the database and execute four SQL INSERT/UPDATE statements as a single unit of work. The fact that you have one form shouldn't be an issue.
I'll bet you're having trouble because you haven't layered the problem either in code or in your mind.
I'd recommend that you write a POJO to take in some objects and execute the SQL. Once you have that running successfully you can worry about the form. Decouple the two.
Computer science is all about decomposing large problems into smaller ones.

How to move cursor to a particular field in a form when the form opens

Hi All,
Using Forms Personalization how to move the cursor to a particular field in a form when the form opens.We are using Oracle Applications 11.5.10.2
Please let me know as soon as possible.
Thanks,
--John.

Hi Satya,
Try the following
Open the forms personalization window
Seq: 10
description : Move cursor
Level : Function
On Condition Tab-
Trigger Event : when-new-item-instance
Trigger Object:- (The field on which the cursor is appearing now when you open the form ) for eg : If I am working on a vendor Master form in that case it would be -VNDR.VENDOR_NAME_MIR.
Processing Mode : Both
Context:
whatever context you want to do it respoansibility level or user level.
On the Actions Tab
Seq: 1
Type: Bulletin
Bulletin type : GO_ITEM
Argument : The field to which you want to navigate to. (In my case I want to navigate to Alternate name on the Vendor master form so it would be VNDR.VENDOR_NAME_ALT_MIR).
see if it works for you.

Is it possible to create a form with multiple form fields on a single line?

Is it possible to create a form with multiple form fields on a single line? I can't find anything in the documentation or a template that does this.
I am trying to create a "documents received" checklist with a check box on the left margin, a date-received field to the right of the check box and and a description of the document (Formatted Text) on the far right.
In the past I have entered the Fixed Text with a word processor, published it to a PDF file, then added the check box and date fields with the Acrobat Forms editor. I would prefer to use FormsCentral if it is possible.

We now support multiple fields on one line. This post provides a brief overview.
Give it a try and send us your feedback.
Sorry it took so long.
