Forms navigation problem

I have a display item that shows up on the screen when I hit the TAB key to navigate to the next item. However, when someone uses the mouse to click in the next items instead of using the TAB key, the text item does not display.
The problem is, the text item should display whether the users hit tab or clicks in that field. Any suggestions on how I can achieve this functionality? It is causing the user problems.
Thanks

KEY... triggers were often used in character mode forms but in mouse enabled forms it is usually advisable to avoid them. In cases like this you should be considering the functionality based on where the navigation destination is, and not worry about what method was used to get there. WHEN-NEW-ITEM-INSTANCE is probably what you want here. WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM should be used for validation and for preventing navigation when the item is invalid.

Form Navigation problem while firing Database trigger

Hi,
A Database trigger is made to fire when a field is updated via forms and the trigger will give an error if the user is not authorized to modify the data. Everything is working fine and the trigger gives an error as palnned. After the error is thrown, we are unable to navigate between the forms and in addition we are uanble to perform any sort of actions like querying, deleting and cancelling. On Occasion we get errors like I/O buffer error and the errors keep on changing for every update. Plz help me to resolve the issue.
RgDs,
M KVG

In addition to the Error Message you are getting, it would be helpful to know which version of Oracle Forms you are using and how your application is deployed (Client/Server or Web). If you app is web deployed, then also include the Java Runtime Environment version and your web browser and version.

Mouse navigations problem with Sun Java 1.5.0_*

Hello gurus,
We need to move from JInitiator to Sun Java Plugin; according to the Forms10g Client Platform Support (http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/10gR2/clientsod_forms10gR2.html) one of the certified version for Forms 10.1.2.0.2 of the the Sun Java Plugin is 1.5.0_06 and Internet Explorer 6.0, we have tested also SJPI 1.5.0_09 and we get the same mouse navigation problem reported in the following Oracle Forum threads.
Mouse navigation don't work with Java Plugin.
Mouse navigation don't work with Java Plugin.
Forms 10gR2, Sun Java 1.5.0_06 gives mouse problems
Forms 10gR2, Sun Java 1.5.0_06 gives mouse problems
Does anybody know a solution to this problem?
Any help will be really appreciated.
Regards,
Victor.

You need to use 1.5.0_12 or newer. The client SOD is not up-to-date on this specific point. A lot of navigation problems was fixed in this very release.
The Management team should change this in the client SOD, wonder why they still refer to 1.5.0_06. For Applications, the first 1.5.0 to be certified was _12.
Also make sure, that you are using the latest Patch 3 for 10.1.2 (10.1.2.3). This patch also contains fixes for a lot of these wellknown issues.
Hope this helps,

Still having navigation problems and need help with how to debug

Hi,
I've been porting over a servlet project to JSF and I'm still having navigation problems. I thought the problem might have been because the original project used HTML frames and so the "from-view-id" JSP defined the frame/framesets and the specific JSP that does the submit (and so is named in the "from-view-id" is never defined in a "to-view-id" attribute). I've now switched to using an IFRAME, and that resolves that problem. So now the JSP is defined in a "to-view-id" attribute and it includes an named IFRAME that can be used as a target. I press the submit button and I get not the JSP expected butinstead the same JSP displayed inside its own IFRAME.
Here is the code for the submit. I've simplified it as much as possible with a static action (originally it was a call to a method) just to try and get things to work. This is the current version:
<h:commandButton value="View Alias" action="foo" styleClass="select" type="submit" />Here is the navigation rule in faces-config.xml. Again, the problem is that SelectManager get redisplayed in the IFRAME instead of display.jsp.
<navigation-rule>
   <from-view-id>/SelectManager.jsp</from-view-id>
   <navigation-case>
      <from-outcome>foo</from-outcome>
      <to-view-id>/display.jsp</to-view-id>
   </navigation-case>
</navigation-rule>I have also tried it without the "from-outcome-value" which I presume means that the "to-view-id" gets displayed unconditionally and it still fails. Any ideas on how I can debug this? (I'm using GlassFish if that's important to know)

Raymond, The real trick is avoid doing technical things when coming down with the flu (I should also add that I'm a JSF newbie). Reading your original message this time I see what you're suggesting and found a conversion error although I don't understand it. Here's the code (including the <h:message/>):
            <h:selectOneMenu value="#{members.dcodes}"
              style="color: #7f0000" id="selector">
              <f:selectItems value="#{members.departmentList}" />
            </h:selectOneMenu>
            <h:message for="selector" style="color:white"/>And here's a snippet of the generated HTML:
<select id="j_id_id26:selector" name="j_id_id26:selector" size="1" style="color: #7f0000">
         <option value="aad" selected="selected">Academic Advising</option>
     <option value="aaf">Academic Affairs</option>
     <option value="adm">Admission</option>
     <option value="up">Upward Bound</option>
</select>If I select "Admission" for example, the error I get is:
Conversion Error setting value 'adm' for 'null Converter'.Since everything is a String value, I don't get the error. Could someone please enlighten me.
Thanks.

Navigation Problem in OBIEE

Hi,
I have a strange navigation problem. I have the navigation setup from the 1st page of my dashboard to go to the second. When I first bring up the first page, and then click , nothing happens. Now if I refresh this page and then click again, I am able to navigate to the second page. I would to hear if anyone has seen similar issue. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Bharat

Still haven't found a solution to this problem.
Even if I remove the form1.setTarget( null or other framename/windowname)
I tried changing to using the onclick="from1.target='mywin';" and also onclick="form1.target='_self'; on the button. Does not work/ have the desired effect of controlling where the page is opened: in same window or in another frame or window.
For some reason navigation also totally breaks, after a search, with a similar sql as in this message, and I get no error when I debug and step through the code.
After doing one search, navigation seems to stop working and only the search.jsp page is the target.
If I do a view first navigation works to new page/servlet output but still not in a new window/frame.
This simple stuff in a normal simle html page, should not be so hard to accive with SJSC perhaps someone of you in the community or the developers at sun can give us insight into this simple problem.
It must be fairly common that one likes to control where a page is opened, in the existing window/page/frame or in a new window/frame.
Anybody else had any problems with navigation not working with similar code ??
If I remove the do_search() call it works, the navigation continues to function, but still have no control of the destination window/frame.
Kind Regards
Roger

RoadMap UI Navigation Problem

I'm facing a navigation problem using the roadmap UI in WD4A.
Let's say we have 5 views. The roadmap view is the default view, the other views will be embedded into a view container UI element on the roadmap view. The roadmap UI has 4 steps, one for each view.
V_ROADMAP
V_STEP_1
V_STEP_2
V_STEP_3
V_STEP_4
Now, I need to add navigation buttons (previous & next) to navigate between the roadmap steps.
My question is where should I placed these navigation buttons? On each view or only on the roadmap view.
Personnaly and it think it would make more sense to place them only on the roadmap view.
My problem using this approach is has follow: When you are on v_roadmap on step 1 (V_STEP_1), you click on Next to go to the next view (V_STEP_2), actually the action is trigger in V_ROADMAP so I am not able to validate user input field or obligatory field in V_STEP_1. I would have to call an action from V_STEP_1 in V_ROADMAP so the event handler method WDDOBEFOREACTION will be called. I don't think it's possible. The problem here, is you can click on next and you can go to the next view without filling the obligatory fields.
If I placed my navigation buttons on each view. The advantage is that before triggering an action, I can validate user input field, obligatory field in the method WDDOBEFOREACTION before going to the next step.
The desadvantage is that I have to recreate them on each of my view.
thanks
Alex

Just to close this thread, I will summarize the different possible options:
Navigation buttons on each view: This is the easiest way to validate obligatory fields but for component reuse it's not good idea to have navigation buttons on individual views.
Navigation buttons on main views: If we placed the navigation buttons on our main view, the validation is kind of painful, before firing an outbound plug from the main view and a corresponding inbound plug on the individual view, we will have to manually verify our obligatory fields from the context of the componenent controller or using cross-component data sharing.
Navigation using GAF (Guided Activity Floorplan): I think this option is the way to go! The problem here is that's very difficult to find documentation on that subject, also, the tools from SP 15 is not as user friendly then the one that's coming in NW EhP1.

Navigation Problem in Next/Previous Record

Hi,
I have a Master (have 20 fields) and Four its Detail block visible on same screen but each block have its own Canvas and Window. Now master table have 1700 records with its detail tables. So after Query when I press the Next_Record button it will no response some time I have to press it twice or thrice then it will respond and some time on fist click it gives the response.
So I want to navigate through Next Records or Previous Record buttons on single click.??????????
Kindly send me the solution of this problem on urgently basis.
Best Regard,

Hi,
It's very difficult to suggest something by readingyour post. There are many reasones for navigation problem. Validation is one of them. Be sure that validation triggers written on any level are working properly. What code you have written on the buttons that you are using for navigation. In which blocks you have put your buttons. It is recommended that you put all your non-database items in a non-database block. Check this also.......

Installing ios8.2 does not resolve Google map navigation problem or gps tracking!

Installing ios 8.2 does not resolve Google map navigation problem.

I have tried to install both of them lots of times but in each case I receive the same in my XE.bat file:
Instance created.
DIM-00019: create service error
O/S-Error: (OS 1387) Unable to add or remove a member from the local group because this member does not exist.
Have checked OS 1387 error at Microsoft Support and as possible cause of the problem they give as follows:
This issue can occur if the environment has a disjointed namespace (i.e. the domain has different NetBIOS and DNS names). For example, assume that the domain has a NetBIOS name of "domain.com" and a DNS name of "domain-old.com." When users are added in the Windows UI, they are displayed in the format of domain\ComputerName. However, you notice in the error log that there was an attempt to add a computer account in the format of domain-old\ComputerName. (System Center 2012 R2 Data Protection Manager install fails and generates ID: 4323: "A member could not be added")
Tried to find out my DNS name, but it is impossible because I don't have any domain installed and my machine is not connected to it. Some other blog (Install Oracle 11gR2 on Windows) advices to work with adding my computer account to some non-real windows domain (just for the purpose of resolving the network) as well and reinstall the database then. If I undestand it right I need minimum 2 machines for this. But I own just one, where the server is based and thought that is enough to run the database... no idea ..

Navigation Problem in forms 10.1.2.0.2 !!!

Hi All,
when we create relation between master and child block then getting problem in navigation.
i assume that you have form with two block with relation and data then execute query then
start following step
0) make sure you set required = true for first navigation item of child block
1) you are in child block make some change on any item and make your cursor must not be on first navigation item.
3) commit the form
2) then click on master block and here make sure you are clicking on non current record.

Thanks Frank,
Yes Frank please follow the steps.
this is error explanation :
I have debug many times !!!
actually it is not error but funny behaviour !!
when you click on parent block on diffrent record then validataion trigger of first item of child block will fire. I do not why it is happening !!!
I removed the validation trigger and did required=true for first navaigation item of child block then also it's behaving funny.
This are the steps.
1) create form with parent and child block and make relation ship
2) insure that you put 2 record in parent and 2-2 recors in child for each parent record.
3) insure that your first navigation item of child block has required property = true
4) run your form fresh
5) from parent bloc execute query ( I hope child block is populate some records)
6) click on any record of child block and make changes
7) then commit your form.
now fun will start
8) click on parent block on any record which has child records and non current record.
9) then form should populate details for child instead of it behaves different as follows
you will find FRM-40202 : Field must be entered
your cussor will remian in child block;
your record will not change in parent block.
and child block will remail blank.
by debugging I found that problem is coming from this code of <Clear_All_Master_Details> procedure
-- Put cursor back where it started
IF :System.Cursor_Item <> startitm THEN
Go_Item(startitm);
Check_Package_Failure;
END IF;
when I remove this line
Go_Item(startitm);
then my problem is solved
But I do not know what is the other impact can be possible by removing this.
Hello Frank
I hope you will catch this error by this example.

Forms 10g - mouse focus/navigation problem

Hello.
We use:
- IE 6
- Java Plug-in 1.5.0_04
- iAS 10.1.2.0.2 (patch 5023945) on HP-UX 11i
We are experiencing an annoying problem. Our ORACLE Forms 10g application (migrated a few months ago from forms 4.5) sometimes loses navigation: mouse clicks stop changing cursor item focus or executing buttons ... Many users can't avoid pressing CTL+ALT+DEL to stop it...
It seams to happen more frequently when users have different windows from different applications opened, navigate to them and then return focus to our application...
We made a workaround that minimized some specific situations:
- avoided enabled image items
- reviewed navigation code to blocks whose first item wasn't navigable (we switched some GO_BLOCK to GO_ITEM)
Should we go to Patch ID 6311490 (focus fix) for 10.1.2.2 iDS and iAS? Is there any other one more suitable?
Which patch should we consider for this situation?
Thanks in advance.
Luis Amorim

Hi Luis
I've seen this sort of thing before and it wasn't easy to solve. There are things you can do to make it better. Check out Oracle Bug 6737974 on metalink. The main cause seemed to be when-deactive-window trigger.

Navigation problem while using Adobe interactive form in web dynpro

Hi frds,
I have a 2 views..
1st view contains an ADobe from and a button to navigate to the 2nd view..
No problem with the first view.. displays everything...
The Problem is when i click the button to nsvigate to the 2nd view, its not loading...
Wait symbol is coming...
Please Help me friends...

hi ,
pls use the ZCi layout for the adobe interactive form .
Need to Insert the web dynpro script to the form.
Note: Make sure to upgrade the Adobe Interactive for ZCI type using SFP_ZCI_UPDATE transaction
Subsequently, check whether the update of the ZCI was successfully completed. To do this, open your form in the Adobe LiveCycleDesigner and check the version information of the ZCI script. The ZCI script is available on the "Hierarchy" tab page under the "ContainerFoundation_JS" name. The version must be800.20080513120641.469612.469346.

PJC tab-key navigation problem within bean (FORMS intercepting tab key??)

Using Forms 10.1.2.3, IE7, JRE 1.6
When attempting to navigate within the bean area, it appears as if FORMS is suppressing the keyEvent when the tab key is pressed. This means that I cannot use tab or shift-tab to navigate within the PJC's editable fields/buttons. I can click on them, enter data within them, but tab is somehow intercepted. When I place my PJC within a normal (non-forms) Java window, everything works fine.
Documentation that I've read seems to indicate that tab should navigate perfectly fine within the bean area.
Any ideas?

Hi,
This is how I did it. Sorry about the formatting, it was OK when I pasted the code fragment in.
My class contains this in the variable definitions.
private AWTEventListener keyListener = new DoKey ();
private class DoKey implements AWTEventListener {
public void eventDispatched (AWTEvent e) {
//System.err.println("eventDispatched " + e.toString());
//System.err.println("eventDispatched source " + e.getSource().toString());
if ((e instanceof KeyEvent) && (e.getSource() instanceof Component)) {
* The event was a key pressed event and it was sourced from a Component.
KeyEvent evt = (KeyEvent) e;
if (evt.getID() == evt.KEY_PRESSED) {
if (evt.getKeyCode() == evt.VK_TAB) {
if (evt.isShiftDown()) {
((Component)e.getSource()).transferFocusBackward();
else {
((Component)e.getSource()).transferFocus();
The listener is enabled when on initialisation
Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().addAWTEventListener (keyListener, AWTEvent.KEY_EVENT_MASK);
