Forms_path

Hi,
In order to run the forms, I should write the code>>> open_form('path' and name of the form,,,
how to add the path to all forms instead of adding it per form call???
Thank u
Tasneem

Hello,
Using the full path filename is a bad behaviour, because the day you change the .FMX location, your application will stop running. DO NOT WRITE PATH in the call methods, just put the .fmx in one of the directory pointed by your FORMS_PATH variable.

FORMS_PATH in default.env on 10.1.2

I have just installed Application server 10.1.2 with forms and reports. I want to put forms files to directory /home/forms/forms_files/
I have configured in default.enf variable FORMS_PATH=/home/forms/forms_files, but it seems to not work. Forms servlet still load forms files from default location $ORACLE_HOME/forms. All other configurations is as they are default just after Application server installation.
User oracle and group oinstall has correct privileges (read and write) to directory /home/forms/forms_files/.
Can anybody tell what I have to do different or more to define location of form files?
-jarkka

check the script to start the iAS is having a variable called FORMS_PATH . If yes modify this. Also do an echo $FORMS_PATH after setting this.
Otherwise you can edit the profile or script which sets the ias env variable with FORMS_PATH.
Also check the value in the default.env which can be found in ORACLE_HOME/forms/server

How to block running forms outside of the FORMS_PATH

I need to know if is there a way to block any form outside of the FORMS_PATH and allow just those located in the directory specified by FORMS_PATH
thanks beforehand.

Hi Alvaro,
I assume you have a "starter/main" form for your application. If that is the case (and if there is no need for the user to specify the form name explicitly), you can add "form" to the restrictedURLParameters (under formsweb.cfg) and also set the form name in there itself.
For ex.
form=login
restrictedURLparams=....,formAfter this, the user would not be able to specify the form name in the URL while running, which in turn, would restrict them running any forms (apart from the desired form you mentioned in the "form").

Set env var(FORMS_PATH) in default.env

Thanks in advance to all:
My question is:
Can I set var FORMS_PATH in Linux environment as:
FORMS_PATH=/u01/oracle/ora_midtier/forms:
FORMS_PATH=$FORMS_PATH:/Forms10g/Source_Appl/Web/Menu
or in different way (%FORRRXXXX%)
Thanks again

Thanks Martin for your time and reply,
Of course I was not clear, I know where insert Forms_path and other var, (default.env under $ORACLE_HOME/forms/server
Instead my question is:
I am able writes FORMS_PATH= /dir1/subdir:/dir1/subdir2.... like FORMS_SOURCE=/dir1 and then FORMS_PATH=$FORMS_SOURCE/subdir ....
or
FORMS_PATH=/dir1
FORMS_PATH=$FORMS_PATH:/dir2
FORMS_PATH=$FORMS_PATH:/dir3
Anyway thanks again
and sorry for my error I wrote formsweb.cfg instead of default.env

Setup FORMS_PATH for Oracle Forms 10g in windows7

Hi,
Please kindly advise the regedit path to set the FORMS_PATH variable at windows for Oracle Forms 10g?
Should it be HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > ORACLE?
If yes, is it the unique path? since I cannot create folder for 'ORACLE'.
Thanks,
CY

If you installed the product following the instructions found in MOS Note 559067.1 the registry key will have already been created for you. It will be a sub to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Oracle\<???>
Find this in your system and look at the contents of each key below "Oracle". It should be obvious which one belongs to Forms as there will be numerous FORMS_xxxxx entries there.

FORMS_PATH in 10g

In the default.env file is there a limitation on how long the FORMS_PATH can be on an Oracle 10g Application Server running on Windows? I know that Windows has a restriction of 255 characters if you're using the registry but is there the same limitation in the default.env file?.

Difference from forms_path in registry and forms_path in default.env

Hy,
why i set path in Forms_path in the default.env file for my olb lybrary, when i open an *.fmb file
i give error can't load etc....
while after i set similar in registry i can load it.
dev 10R2, rdbs 10r2 oas 10r2
Thanks

the default.env-forms path is used at runtime only. The registry-path is used, when forms-builder is started. So you can't change the formspath for your builder with the default.env.

FORMS_PATH in default.env

Thanks in advance to all,
My question is:
Can I set var FORMS_PATH (default.env under $ORACLE_HOME/forms/server), in Linux environment as:
FORMS_PATH=/u01/oracle/ora_midtier/forms:
FORMS_PATH=$FORMS_PATH:/Forms10g/Source_Appl/Web/Menuor similar
export ??? or other
I wouldn't like create more default.env's
Thanks to all
None of the 2 methods ($ and export) works

Forms 10g FORMS_PATH help

Hi,
I have the following problem:
O/S Windows XP
Forms 10g
formsweb.cfg has:
envFile=default.env
and default.env has:
FORMS_PATH=C:\DevSuiteHome_1\forms;
C:\DevSuiteHome_1\forms\project\fmb;
C:\DevSuiteHome_1\forms\project\pll;
Why, when I put a pll in the pll folder and then create a form in the fmb folder and attach the pll (removing the path) does it not find the path of the pll.
any ideas?

Ok from evrythign else I've read I should be changing an already existing Key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Oracle\KEY_DevSuiteHome
which I don't have.
I created one and added FORMS_PATH as advised, but it still dosn't work.
why o why is there no key?

Form compilation issue - R12 FORMS_PATH

Hi Gurus,
I have a slightly tricky issue.
We have a custom form ABC.fmb in 11.5.10 and it working fine.
Now we have copied/converted the same to R12, but it does not compile in linux.
When I open it in Forms Builder 10g in windows, it compiles perfectly.
I believe it is something to do with my FORMS_PATH environment variable.
Should it be
$AU_TOP/resource;$AU_TOP/resource/stub;
OR
$AU_TOP/resource;$AU_TOP/resource/stub; $AU_TOP/forms/US;
From the errors, I can see it is failing to load APPSTAND.fmb.
Any pointers pls.
Thanks,
Vinod

About FORMS_PATH

Hello everybody.
Im working with Forms & Reports 11 in Linux RedHat 5.
My question is about the FORMS_PATH enviroment variable.
I have allocate the aplication in directory, /x10, from filesystem and the fussion Middleware is allocate in /home/fmlogic/Oracle .....
My FORMS_PATH value is /x10
When I call the first form , defined in formweb.cfg like MENUTEST.fmx it is called good.
But when I call another form from this module, (MENUTEST.fmx is a form designed like main menu happen 2 things :
1º) I need append the fmx to the name of forms called
2º) I need add the '/x10/' to the forms name.
In the way that to call a module I need its completed name, by example , '/x10/AD/ADAU05.fmx'
In Forms 10G, I only need call the module by its name, I dont need the completed name.
So I think Im doing something wrong.
Any idea?
Thanks in advanced and regards to everybody.

hello, thanks for you answer.
FORMS_PATH is defined in default.env file.
Thanks & Regards

My form application does not find my report (10.2.1)

where do i have to tell to oracle forms to look for my reports ? default.env ? , where do i set my oracle reports path ?.
can i generate rep files for runnign from forms insted of rdf ?
thanks a lot.

No, my bad. It should be in your ENV file but I think Forms has actually stopped reading REPORTS_PATH so try putting your rdf in your FORMS_PATH instead (ie where your fmx's are). Or try setting REPORTS_PATH in your registry instead. I'm not in my office and cant remember exactly...

Forms 10g installed and running on Windows Vista

Update 12-Dec-2008: Oracle has published NOTE 559067.1 -- How to Install Developer Suite 10.1.2.0.2 - hence 10.1.2.3 - on Windows Vista, 24-OCT-2008 with some installation help.
Update 07-July-2008: Added text at the bottom showing how to find patchsets for Forms 10g.
Update 29-May-2008: This thread was started in November, 2007. In January, 2008, Oracle released Patch 3 for Forms 10g, which makes Forms 10g compatible with Windows Vista. As time permits I'll try to keep the information in this post up to date. Updated information will be inserted as blue text.

Original message begins here:
This is a second thread I am posting to outline the steps I have used to install Forms on a Windows Vista Home Basic laptop. The other thread describes installing Forms 6i:
Forms 6i installed and running on Windows Vista
Please read through the initial part of that post for the background. I realize Oracle has not certified Forms 10g to run on Vista, but the time has come for my associates and I to upgrade our old computers to new desktop/laptop platforms, and I would hate to acquire XP machines and be stuck with them for the next 5 years. (Note: Since first posting this message, Oracle has certified Forms 10g Patch 3 (version 10.1.2.3.0) to run on Vista) So after another person informed me that he had Forms installed and running on Vista, I went ahead and bought one. I found that as long as I set the compatibility mode to run Forms programs as Windows XP (and a few other changes), Forms 6i and 10g run quite satisfactorily.
Update 29-Jan-2008: Unfortunately, it turns out that the Forms 10g Builder running on Vista had a major flaw: If you try to develop a form, the Builder will crash if you try to compile a procedure that calls another procedure in the form that has errors. The problem is reported and described in this thread: Error compiling a form under Vista
Update 12-Mar-2008: Installing Patch 3 on Vista does not help with this problem -- the Builder still crashes in the same situation.
Update 25-July-2008: Applying Patch 7047034 has corrected the problem. See this link within this thread: Forms 10g: Installing Patch 7047034 on Windows Vista
Webutil note: I am stuck in a Forms 6i client/server world, so all my forms must run in that environment. Therefore I have not used any Webutil software, and I do not know whether that part will run under Vista.
Internet Explorer note: On Windows Vista, IE CANNOT be used to run the Web Forms runtime. It crashes immediately when you try to run a form. Instead, I can use either Firefox (Firefox 2, Firefox 3.0 Crashes with Forms 10g) or Netscape, as long as they are set to disable java. [ Correction: IE7 on Vista now runs the Forms 10g forms. You just need to add "?config=jpi" to the browser URL when starting the Web Forms session. More IE/Vista info: [url=http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=642973]Vista JInitiator Problem ]
The Oracle Developer Suite download page:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ids/index.html
Oracle Developer Suite Installation Guide:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25016_07//doc/dl/core/B16012_04/toc.htm
The steps below are those I followed to install Forms 10g (version 10.1.2.0.2)
I. Preliminary system changes in Windows
When I started installing, I got the following error message: Install has encountered an error while
 attempting to verify your virtual memory settings.
 Please verify that the sum of the initial sizes of
 the paging files is at least 256 MB.To fix this: Go to Control Panel, System and Maintenance, View amount of RAM and processor speed (under "System"),
Advanced system settings (in left "Tasks" column), Advanced tab, Settings (under "performance"), Advanced tab:
Virtual Memory shows a "Total paging file size for all drives: 2337MB.
Click "change", Uncheck "Automatically manage paging file size for all drives"
Click "custom size:", set Initial size to: 2048, Max to 4096
Click set button, then OK, get message:The changes you have made require you to restart your computer before
 they can take effect.Restart the computer.
II. Installing Forms 10g
1. Download two files from Oracle:
ds_windows_x86_101202_disk1.zip (626,122,752 bytes)
ds_windows_x86_101202_disk2.zip (236,880,881 bytes)
2a. Before extracting, it is a good idea to shut down any virus protection software. It can sometimes prevent some files from being created.
2b. Extract both into the C:\oracle directory, as disk1 and disk2.
3. Using Windows Explorer, change the properties of setup.exe in the C:\oracle\disk1 folder. (In windows explorer, right click, properties, Compatibility tab.) Change the compatibility to run as Windows XP (Service Pack 2).
4. Right click setup.exe and click "Run as administrator"
5. Select "Installation type" = Complete (1.11 GB)
6. Received this message:Windows Firewall has blocked this program from
accepting incoming network connections. If you
unblock this program, it will be unblocked on all
public networks that you connect to.
C:\users\steve\appdata\local\temp\orainstall...
2007-10-29_11-59-08am\jre\1.4.2\bin\javaw.exeI clicked "Unblock"
7. Received this message: "Provide outgoing mail server information" I entered the smtp mail server that I use.
8. A summary screen displayed showing 274 products under New Installations.
I clicked the Install button.
9. Received this message: You can find a log of this install session at:
C:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory\logs\installActions2007.....log
10. The installation completed. Installed products shows Forms 10.1.2.0.2
III. After the install completed
1. Create a shortcut to the Forms 10 Builder on the Desktop.
On the shortcut line, after the .exe, add *userid=userxxx/pwxxx@orcl* so Builder automatically logs into 10g database. If you do step 4 below (creating an easily-accessible folder to use for your forms) change the "Start in" path on the shortcut so it points to that folder. Otherwise, Forms Builder will not find referenced objects and PLL libraries when it opens a form. Also do the same on the Start, All Programs shortcut for the Forms Builder.
Edit: After applying Patch 3, the following steps are not necessary.
Set its compatibility to Windows XP.
Set checkbox: "Run this program as as an administrator." (Without this, FormBuilder will NOT open a PLL library.)
Click the "Show settings for all users" and change values there.
2. Copy "Start OC4J Instance" icon to desktop.
Set its compatibility to Windows XP.
The first time it runs, I got a Windows popup to unblock program named Java. I clicked "Unblock".
3. tnsnames.ora:
Rename C:\oracle\DevSuiteHome_1\network\admin\tnsnames.ora
to: tnsnames_orig.ora
If you created a tnsnames.ora file for Forms 6i, just copy it to the path above. If not, do this:
Create a new tnsnames.ora file, copying entries old file on my old laptop, which contains all the connections I use.
Delete the old laptop entry, replace with new entry for the new local ORCL connection on new laptop from tnsnames file renamed from the c:\oracle\... ...\10.2.0\db_1\ path.
4. Optional: Create an easily accessible folder to store fmb files:
C:\users\steve\.1\fmb10
You don't really want to keep drilling into C:\oracle\DevSuiteHome_1\forms, and then find your .fmb file among the several dozen oracle-supplied files.
To create a folder named .1, you have to open a CMD.exe (Windows DOS) window, and type the Make Directory command:
MD .1
That will create the folder within the current directory -- mine defaults to C:\users\steve
Note: If you also need to use Forms 6i like me, DO NOT EVER open a .fmb file in the Forms 10 Builder from the Forms 6i folder. If you compile it, or even worse, save the .fmb, Forms 6i *cannot ever* access the file. Instead, always use the File Manager (Windows Explorer) to copy the fmb from the fmb6 folder into the fmb10 location.
5. Change the Forms 10g Default.env file using a text editor.
This file replaces all the settings originally written to the Windows Registry (GREAT idea, Oracle! I hate the registry.) No more Regedit. The default.env file is located at: (DevSuiteHome_1 path)\forms\server\default.env
Locate line with: FORMS_PATH= and add:
;C:\users\steve\.1\fmb10
Add a new line:
FORMS_MMAP=FALSE
The above allows compiling an fmx while the form is running.
Add a new line:
FORMS_ROWLOCK_OPTIMIZATION=FALSE
(This fixes Oracle bug number 3949854, which prevents automatic skipping if the same value is typed over another value. TAR 4806199.993 Automatic Skip failure...) See bug 4068896
Add a new Line:
FORMS_RESTRICT_ENTER_QUERY=False
This allows use of Query-Where window in enter query, after entering a colon in any input field. Without this, Forms returns FRM-40367: Invalid criteria in field nnn in example record. Oracle shut it down to prevent "sql injection" attacks.
6. Jiniator setup:
Run file jinit.exe in C:\oracle\DevSuiteHime_1\jinit\jinit.exe
It installs Jinitiator 1.3.1.22.
I installed it in C:\oracle\JInitiator 1.3.1.22\
For Firefox, make sure a copy of file \bin\NPJinit13122.dll resides in C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins.
For Netscape, the path is: C:\Program Files\Netscape\Navigator 9\plugins
7. Browser settings
See the note above about using Firefox 2 and not Firefox 3!
In Firefox 2 go to: Tools-> Options-> Content
Uncheck the "Enable Java" checkbox
--Firefox terminates if this is not done!
Note: After my system automatically installed updates to either java or Firefox, re-check the "Enable Java" setting. I am suspicious that one of these installs re-enables java in the browser.
Also note: some web sites cannot display properly if java is disabled. Example: U.S. time website: http://www.time.gov Use Internet Explorer to view these.
In Netscape make the same changes as Firefox. Without disabling java, it also terminates when you try to run a form.
Creating a url to use in the browser:
Try this:
http://127.0.0.1:8889/forms/frmservlet
If it does not work, change the 8889 port number as follows:
Open file: C:\oracle\DevSuiteHome_1\install\portlist.ini
Note the number in line:
Oracle Developer Suite HTTP port = 8889
Use the number as the port number.
You can also change the 127.0.0.1 to the computer name:
Control Panel, System and Maintenance, See the name of this computer (under "System"). Mine is "steve-PC"
So the alternate URL is: http://steve-PC:8889/forms/frmservlet
To try out the URL, start the OC4J instance set up above. Then start either Netscape or Firefox, and enter the URL. You should get a welcome screen.
If the above URL works, start up the Forms Builder, and open Edit, Preferences. On the General tab, uncheck the "Build before running" check box (optional). On the Runtime tab, set the "Application Server URL to the url above.
To run a real form, add this to the URL after frmservlet, (with no spaces):
?form={formname}&userid={userxxx}/{passwordyyy}@{connect-string}
but replace the parts in curly braces with the appropriate values. Example:
http://127.0.0.1:8889/forms/frmservlet?form=ABC&userid=abc123/zyx@orcl
Setting up Forms Builder to directly run a form in the browser:
Run the Forms Builder. Go to Edit, Preferences, Runtime tab.
Set the Application Server URL to:
http://127.0.0.1:8889/forms/frmservlet
(or use whatever URL string you developed above)
Set the Web Browser Location to:
"C:\Program Files\Netscape\Navigator 9\navigator.exe"
(or an equivalent to run the Firefox browser).
8. FORMSWEB.CFG file changes
The file is located at:
C:\ORA_DS_101202\DevSuiteHome_1\forms\server\formsweb.cfg
I changed the following two lines in the file, but these are my personal preferences:
separateFrame=true
lookandfeel=Generic
9. FMRWEB.RES file changes
For Oracle help: Enabling Key Mappings
The file fmrweb.res defines actions (triggers that run) when a function key is pressed while running Forms. The one released has unix-style key mapping, but I prefer keys originally mapped for Windows PC Forms users. There is a fmrpcweb.res in the same folder that can be renamed to fmrweb.res.
In the C:\oracle\DevSuiteHome_1\forms path, I renamed fmrweb.res to fmrweb_orig.res.
I have a file that I prefer to use, so I put it into the folder as fmrweb.res. The contents are listed below. It is organized so the most important keys are listed alphabetically at the top (URFD column is the sort column), followed by a group of less-important keys. These are keys that are available to users, but they either would not use, or are disabled within most forms. The URFD column in the second set starts with a hex A0 character, which is a high-order space, so collates after normal alphabetic characters. (Note: If you want to copy the text below and use it, the hex A0 character has been changed by the forum software to a space. So you would need to use a text editor with hexadecimal character capabilities to replace the space with the original character. )
My file has special keys defined for F2 (I use it for a debugging Key-F2 trigger in my forms), and a "Cursor to Home" F12 function. All the rest are pretty much the same as in the released fmrpcweb.res file, only mine are organized alphabetically on the URFD column.
The Web Forms fmrweb.res file is editable using any programming editor (NOT MS Word!!!). The old Client/Server key mapping file, fmrusw.res, could only be changed using the Oracle Terminal program (and it is a pain to use).
Here is the main part of my fmrweb.res file:#

1. When I tried to set the maximum virtual memory to 6110 an error message displayed from Windows and told me that I can't set the maximum virtual memory to more than 4096. I set it to 4090 and it worked and I got nothing wrong during the installation process.
2. After installing JInitiator and disabling Java on Firefox I called the http://127.0.0.1:8889/forms/frmservlet page and everything seemed to be OK because the Oracle Forms Services logo appeared and then a successful installation message appeared , but as I clicked (ok) to continue a gray screen appeared inside the browser (like the one displayed when you try to run a Java applet inside a browser) and then I wait to death till something appears but sadly nothing. I just get a blank gray screen inside my Firefox browser.
Do you have any idea what to do to solve the problem?
Regards
