Forms & Object Types

Its Urgent !
I tried to create types in Personal Oracle 8.0. but it gives an error message 'Object Types not enabled'. Is there any way to enable these objects and types ? Another query is on Oracle 8i on NT, objects acn be created. But while connecting through forms 5.0, it does not allow to make data blocks with tables which have user-defined types as their datatype. What I believe is that it might be because forms 5.0 uses SQL 3.3 to connect to database and SQL 3.3 does not support objects. What is the solution for this ? Is there any patch of Oracle which enables such features ? Its very Urgent.

I havenţt managed to this with objects but with plain types works... :)
this is my package:
create or replace package n is
-- Author : FLORINP
-- Created : 11/5/2009 3:16:53 PM
-- Purpose :
-- Public type declarations
type s is record(
    n number
type x is record(
    y varchar2(100),
    z s
ready boolean := false;
function getX return x;
function getReady return boolean;
procedure setReady(b boolean);
end n;
create or replace package body n is
function getX return x is
    vx x;
    vs s;
begin
    for i in 1..1000 loop
      null;
    end loop;
    ready := true;
    vx.y := 'gata '||to_char(sysdate,'dd/mm/yyyy hh:mi');
    vs.n := 1000;
    vx.z := vs;
    return vx;
end;
function getReady return boolean is
begin
    return ready;
end;
procedure setReady(b boolean) is
begin
    ready := b;
end;
begin
null;
end n;and this is how i use it:
DECLARE
x n.x;
BEGIN
x := n.getX;
message(x.y);
message(x.y);
message(x.z.n);
message(x.z.n);
END;...and it realy works... but unfortunately i haven't managed to use with an object
So why 'type is record' is serializeble but 'type is object' no?
And as far as I figure forms complains about the 'new' keyword (call the constructor)... I wonder if I get just the object allready constructed on the server....

How to trigger a form based on object type and process type

Hi all,
I am new into SRM.. I have been asked to develop a form by cloning an existing standard form..
Using bbp_output_change_sf badi you can trigger the form by passing the object type but the scenario is such that depending on the object type and process type the new form should be triggered.
The parameter iv_object_type passes the object type but how could i pass the process type ?
In the badi I noticed an import parameter is_event that has a field called transction_type that carries the process type but this field never got populated when i checked using debugger.
Please help as to how i can trigger the form based on the object_type and the process_type.
Thanx in advance.

Thanx again Jay Yang.. Well is there any possibility that you could get the items that were confirmed..
Let me eleborate..
Suppose in the PO u order an item for 10 nos and 5 gets confirmed and u return 2..
Well in my case it is that i need to fill up a field Qty returned / Qty confirmed..
I was able to get the number of items from the PO by passing the the passing the parameter to the FM "bbp_pd_conf_getdetaill"
but i dont know how to get the number of items been confirmed..
The quantity field in the line item structure gives me the number of items returned..
Can u tell me how to get the number of items been confirmed....

How can I obtain an object-type variable in Forms 6i?

i create an object-type in oracle 8i database like this:
TYPE OBJ_TYPE_NUMBER AS OBJECT
FIELD1 NUMBER,
MEMBER PROCEDURE INIT, ...
i create a variable of this object-type in a stored procedure in Oracle 8i:
v_Number OBJ_TYPE_NUMBER(10);
and then call it's method:
v_Number.INIT;
it work's!
But when I try to compile a previous variable declaration
(v_Number OBJ_TYPE_NUMBER;) in Oracle Forms 6i I see only an error message.
So my question is How can I declare and use an object-type variable in Forms 6i?

Hi,
the release after Forms 6i is Forms9i. Forms9i does have the PLSQL engine of Oracle 9.0.0.2 database which means that it should knwo how to handle object types in PLSQL.

Can't create object types in forms 10

Hello,
I am trying to use object types in forms 10.
I have already created successfully two object types and also corresponding object views.
With one object type A everything works fine in form. But with the other object type B it doesn't.
I am calling the constructor of object B and after the constructor finshed, forms says that there is a numeric or value error.
Well, by nbow I have reduced attributes from object B so that they are identical to object A (which works). But still get the same error or if I use a different constructor I get NULL as a return value. I tested the constructors with test script in the database directly and viola - the constructor are working fine.
Only if I use the constructors in forms environment they fail.
Any ideas why this might happen?
Thank you
Matthias
Well, I fear to use the object types in my next project cause if I run into trouble if the object types are so easy with less code, what else might happen if they are filled up with much more code?

     message('1');
     lvtest := new mytesta(:blk_testa.iname, 1);

     message('3' || lvtest.tostring());
exception
     when others then
          message('Exception: ' || sqlerrm);
end;
And in that forms block I got the exception.
Perhaps someone has ANY idea...
Thanx a lot

XML attributes and object types

I want to create an XML Document of the following form
<family>
<parent attr1="val1">
<child attr2="val2" attr3="val3"/>
</parent>
</family>
Using object table and object type (for the child element), I am able to produce the following XML Document (with a "select * from family" query)
<family> 
<parent> 
<attr1>val1</attr1>
<child>
<attr2>val2</attr2>
<attr3>val3</attr3>
</child>
</parent>
</family>
The question is: how am I going to query these data so that the "attr" elements are mapped to attributes (using XSU only, without XSLT)?
I have already tried the following:
1. Using
SELECT attr1 as "@attr1",
f.child.attr2 "@attr2",
f.child.attr3 "@attr3"
FROM family f
all the attributes are obviously appended to the "parent" element.
2. Using nested table for "child" and the following query
SELECT attr1 as "@attr1",
CURSOR (
SELECT n.child.attr2 as "@attr2", n.child.attr3 as "@attr3"
FROM TABLE(f.child n)
) AS "child"
FROM family f
I am getting the following document
<family>
<parent attr1="val1">
<child>
<child_ROW attr2="val2" attr3="val3"/>
</child>
</parent>
</family>
Is there a smart SQL query to produce the desired document? What data types
is it recommended to use to define my db schema (object types, nested tables...)?
Thank you in advance
null

Finally, I got the desired XML format output from relational tablse using schema based XMLType views.
Wherein I created Object Types from relational table, generated the schema for the Object type, registered the schema and finally created XMLType Views for populating the XML data from Relational Tables.
I guess, you all might aware of my problem, where I got struck. Instead of printing the data in XML format I am successful in generating the XML format data Using the Query Select from BLABLA_Type_view* . I am able to print the number of rows, that I require which is in the fallowing format.
Column Name
1. SYS.XMLTYPE ----- As a row
The view I am querying for is printing the data in a string format, where in I got to do the fallowing query
SELECT SYS.XMLTYPE.getStringVal(OBJECT_VALUE) FROM BLABLA_Type_view. Which ultimately gave me the required data in XML format with tags.
Thanks for every one who tried to give a try to solve, especially "mdrake"

Form objects in email not working

Hi All,
I have designed a JSP which is sending survey form in an email to my clients in which I have put some form objects like radio button, text area, and a submit button. Few of my clients receive email with destorted form, or they are not able to press submit button, or form objects don't appear at all only the titles are displayed.
Can someone suggest changes in code to overcome all these problems.
Thanks
Manu

Few of my clients So there is at least one client receives your survey well... So the problem is not with your code... it will be aat the client who receives your mail, maybe something needed to support at the Mail client like the "text/html" content-type. if you use JavaMail, or whatever, insure that you set the content type for the survey to be "text/html", so the mail client be able to recognize the Objects!

Oracle Object Types vs. Table Fields

Hello, all.
I`m totally new to Oracle, and I am facing a very hard problem for me, and I would like to ask your help.
I've been working on a project which uses Oracle Object Types, from a database of a legacy system.
I did not know Oracle Objects until 5 minutes ago, so sorry If I say something stupid:
Per my understanding, a Oracle Object Type can be formed by fields like myField varchar(200)... and fields from an existing table or view.
I have a lot of objects on my system and I need to map each field and its respective table or view that compose each object.
Does anyone have a query for that? I think it should be common, but I could not find anything at google (maybe I don`t which terms use to find...)
I would be very thankful if somebody could help (save) me.
Thanks in advance.
Paulo

First, it would help if you post what you object types look like.
I'm assuming they may look something like this:
SQL> create TYPE emp_type AS OBJECT
2    (emp_id   NUMBER,
3     name VARCHAR2(20));
4 /
Type created.
SQL> create TYPE emp_tab IS TABLE OF emp_type;
2 /
Type created.
SQL> create or replace package emp_test as
2 procedure get_emps;
3 end emp_test ;
4 /
Package created.
SQL> create or replace package body emp_test as
2    employees emp_tab := emp_tab();
3    procedure get_emps as
4      g_rc sys_refcursor;
5 BEGIN
6    employees.EXTEND(2);
7    employees(1) := emp_type (1, 'John Smith');
8    employees(2) := emp_type (2, 'William Jones');
9    OPEN g_rc FOR
10    SELECT * FROM TABLE (CAST (employees AS emp_tab));
11 END get_emps ;
12 end emp_test ;
13 /
Package body created.

Unit test for object types

In the current version (2.1.0.63) I can perform only unit test for packages, function and procedures. But we use a lot of object types in the database and would like to test them. Is there any support for object types scheduled?

You can also use the original UT PLSQL package from sourceforge.
I have used this in the past for testing with file comparisons, table object output from procedures, etc.
We've also used the same setup for Oracle Forms code testing.

What is the Object Type for User Define table ?

Dear All Experts,
I create one of the User Define Table with no. of UDF's
I already register User Define Table with Unique ID.
As per my knowledge, Unique ID is our Object type for that User Define Table.
I want to add Transaction Notification Code for created Used Define Table.
This Transaction Notification prevents user to must enter name in that form.
IF (@object_type = 'Z_Roto' AND (@TRANSACTION_TYPE = 'A' or @TRANSACTION_TYPE = 'U'))
BEGIN
If not Exists (Select T0.DocEntry from [@Z_ROTO] T0 Where ( T0.Name is null OR T0.Name = ' ' ) AND T0.Code = @list_of_cols_val_tab_del )
begin
SET @error = 1
SET @error_message = 'Name is NULL then So, Please enter ZERO Value i.e. 0 in Filed_Name'
End
End
Please help me for this problem.
Thanks & Regards,
Nishit Makadia

Hi All,
Thanks for your replay.
Below code is working for User Define Table's Transaction Notification
IF (@transaction_type = 'A' OR @transaction_type = 'U') AND @object_type = 'Z_Roto'
BEGIN
If Exists (Select T0.Code from [@Z_ROTO] T0 Where ( T0.Name is null OR T0.Name = ' ' ) AND T0.Code = @list_of_cols_val_tab_del)
begin
select @error = 10
select @error_message = 'Name is NULL then So, Please enter ZERO Value i.e. 0 in Filed_Name'
End
End
Necessary to Remember 4 Things. That are mentioned below.
1) Register User Define Table (UDT) with using "Object Registration Wizard". For Example : @object_type = 'Z_Roto'
2) When you define selection criteria then it must be compulsory for use Code Field. For Example : Select T0.Code from [@Z_Roto]
3) When you define selection criteria then it must be compulsory for use Code for @list_of_cols_val_tab_del.
4) Use error code as 10 Number

How to make form objects dynamically fit into window sizes?

Hi,
Form objects are always static. i.e, stick to the disigning time window size/resolution.
When the resolution changes, the form objects will not strech to the new window size.
Many of the clients are unhappy with this incapable feature.
Is there any way to come out of this problem?
Thanks and Regards,
Vishwanath

In teh hierarchy view - click on the Master Page/ Page1. Now on the object palette on the Master Page Tab you can choose a Paper Type. If you scroll to the bottom of the list you can choose a Custom size. The width and height dimensions are now available to you. The UI in designer limits you to 59 in. If you need more than that there is a way to get bigger but you have to do it in the native XML format. Let me know if you need more than that. Here is a modified sample.

Interactive Forms objects in workflow

Hi everbody,
I'm currently trying to configure a workflow scenario with Interactive Forms by Adobe.
My problem is to initiate a workflow object with interactive forms. From my understanding the object type "dynp_form" in workflow builder doesn't have to do with interactive forms. Which object type do I have to use?
My next question is: can I use the predefined forms from SAP Forms Builder (SFP) in the workflow?
I thought about ISR-Wizard to define a form in the QISRCONF. But this doesn't seem to work either.
I have already configured the Adobe Document Services. The test program FP_PDF_TEST_00 works.
I'm working on SAP NW '04s ECC6.
Thanks for your replies,
Olaf

Hi,
Welcome to Adobe Interactive Forms Development.
Well to start with, you got two options to go ahead...
Option-1 :
Using ISR Based Adobe Interactive Forms Development, where we develop forms using SFP transaction and attach them to a scenario which is defined in QISRSCENARIO txn. To get a better understanding about this ISR/PCR's, check this one.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005vp/helpdata/en/54/957e40ec66ce62e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
Option-2 :
Using Web Dynpro based Adobe Interavtive Forms Development, where we design our Web Dynpro Application which has the Adobe Form. To have a better understanding of this development scenario, check this site.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005vp/helpdata/en/42/c1151c55b33119e10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm
Well coming to your Workflow related query, My suggestion is to refer the Standard PCR based Workflows WS50000031 & WS50000041.
Yes, you can very much use the Standard forms in your custom workflows, for this you require to attach your workflow template number to the ISR Scenario.
My replies are well understood only after refering to the above mentioned links.
Hope this helps.

Can plsql return table of object type

Dear All,
I am trying to return a set of data using object type.
But i am able to return only a single row but I want to return multiple rows.
I am trying to create the procedure which will return the table of object type but I am not able to assign value to table of object type.
Any ideas will be appreciated.

The intention is to create a tree structure of data.Is this structure stored in the database? If so, then what data model is used? Relational? Hierachical? Object?
Each of these have pros and cons. The object model has many when persisted in a database as it nowhere near as flexible and robust as relational. Simple example, you can define an object class called Address. You can define a collection class called addressList. You can make that collection class a column in the Customers table. This allows you to store multiple addresses for a customer - as part of the same row for a customer.
However, there is a data modeling issue here. How do you index the region code in the address to do region based sales and marketing queries? There is a performance issue here - every time a customer row is read, the Addresses column is also read and this column contains a collection of addresses... Expensive I/O wise.
If relational data model was used, there would have been an Addresses table. It would have had a region index. And every time you read a customer row, all the addresses of that customer is not automatically read into memory too.
This Pl/SQL is to be called by another program which will accept the tree structure.So PL/SQL is to deliver a tree structure class?
You have mentioned about the design being not optimal, please elaborate.
I am doing these steps to improve performance.
i already have a java code which creates the data in the tree form {common data model - XML} .
I am thinking that if I create the structure in database , it will be better for performance.What makes sense to me (performance, usability and data modeling wise) is to use a relational design to store the tree data in Oracle. Each tree item will have a unique identifier and an optional parent identifier. The latter will be a foreign key constraint to the unique identifier.
The PL/SQL procedure can use a hierachical SQL to select the relevant root nodes from the tree table (i.e. start with tree items that have null parent identifiers) and transform this into a XML and supply XML output.
This allows Java to call this PL/SQL procedure, and get XML in response.
An alternative would be to not use XML, but instead define the tree structure as Java expects it, using SQL advance data types (i.e. classes). But instead of using that for store of the tree's data, the PL/SQL proc uses it to transform the tree data (selected via a hierarchical query) into this class object structure.
The Java client then needs to have wrapper classes for these SQL classes - and when it calls the PL/SQL proc, it gets a class structure returned that it can natively use on its side.
This a tad more complex to do than the XML interface - but could be faster as the Java layer does not need to transform the XML into a local data structure... it gets an equivalent data structure directly from PL/SQL.
The only issue ito performance I can see, is attempting to use such an object structure also as data storage (Oracle table) structure. This is usually less than optimal. Fair to say, that relational data modeling still reigns supreme ito usability, integrity and performance. (at least within RDBMS products, like Oracle)

Any experience with Object Types and Forms6i / 9i ???

ERROR: Inconsistent java and sql object types

I am getting a nested object table in the form of an oracle.sql.ARRAY. I then call getResultSet() on this array and try to cast each object into a Java implementation of the SQLData interface (also defined in the connections type map).
This approach works for one nested object table but not for another. I get the error message:
"Inconsistent java and sql object types"
Does this mean that my Java to Oracle type mappings are wrong? Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
Steve

i had a similar situation. found out it was occuring because the oracle type had not been granted to the appropriate user.
