FORMS & REPORTS QUESTIONS.

Hi,
Can any one provide me a good no of Forms and reports question to prepare for the interview ?
Thanks in advance .

If I was an interviewer, and 60 seconds to test, I'll ask somme question like:
What kind of blocks exist?
How do you build a master detail form ?
What kind of trigger do you use for field validation ?
how do you manage graphic homogeneity ?
how do you build a LOV ?

  • Form - Report Question

    I need to create a download form that has variables. By default in the Regions / Report features give these features but I have only created forms with a select statement refering table fields. I have created reports using variables with a cursor but I display these in HTML format. Can someone point me in a right direction or send an example?
    Thanks,
    Steve

    O.K.
    Glad it worked for you. Here is one more example of what you can do with analytic function - hard to acomplish using common SQL:
    SELECT   DECODE (ROW_NUMBER () OVER (PARTITION BY a1.deptno ORDER BY a1.deptno),
                     1, a1.deptno,
                    ) deptno,
             DECODE (ROW_NUMBER () OVER (PARTITION BY a1.deptno ORDER BY a1.deptno),
                     1, a1.dname,
                    ) dname,
             DECODE (ROW_NUMBER () OVER (PARTITION BY a1.deptno ORDER BY a1.deptno),
                     1, a1.loc,
                    ) loc,
             a2.empno, a2.ename,
             DECODE
                (ROW_NUMBER () OVER (PARTITION BY a1.deptno ORDER BY a1.deptno),
                 1, SUM (CASE
                            WHEN TO_CHAR (hiredate, 'yy') = '81'
                               THEN sal

  • Forms & Reports Services Standalone 10.1.2.0.2 in a Solaris 10 question.

    Hi everyone
    I have installed Forms & Reports Services Standalone 10.1.2.0.2 in a Solaris 10, it is possible install in this sqlloder utility?
    I need sqlloader access from a form by a 'host' command, is that possible?
    I try this command from the form:
    HOST ('sqlldr user/pass@servicedb control=/home/oracle/controlfile.ctl');
    but it didn't work... is there other way?
    Thanks.

    You can easily create new report servers on a machine. However, to run several reports in parallel you do not need extra servers. You should configure your existing server with extra engines. This can easily be done by changing the maxEngine attribute of the engine section (engine with id=rwEng) in <reportserver>.conf file. You can also manipulate these values through Application server Control. Change the value to 2 and you can run two reports at the same time. depending on available memory you might consider a value of 4 or 8 as well.

  • How to add a new font into Report Builder and Oracle Forms/Reports Server?

    Hi,
    I've searched the forum and can't find this being discussed.
    My developers run Report Builder 10.1.2.0.2 on their XP laptops.
    Their reports run (in production) on Oracle Forms/Reports Server 10.1.2.0.2.
    This server runs on MS Windows 2003, SP2.
    They've got a client who wants reports using the "Garamond Western" font.
    So....how do I get this font onto the developer's Report Builder laptops, and onto the Oracle Forms/Reports Server?
    I've moved various 'Garamond' fonts into C:\WINDOWS\FONTS on both the laptops and the server, but neither seem to recognize it.
    Thanks for your help.

    Thanks.
    This answers 1/2 of my question.
    The developer can now use Report Builder on his laptop, with the new fonts.
    But when he moves this new Report to the Oracle Application Server/Forms-Reports Server, it fails to use the new fonts.
    The Oracle App Server/Forms-Report Server is Version 10.1.2.0.2. It runs on MS Windows 2003, SP2.
    I have installed the exact same fonts on this server, into C:\WINDOWS\Fonts.
    I have used REGEDIT to change REPORTS_PATH....and placed C:\WINDOWS\Fonts; as the first value in this field.
    I have then stopped and restarted the Forms-Reports Server.

  • How long Oracle plans to support Forms/Reports 6i ?

    Hello dear Oracle Forms users/developers,
    The "Oracle Forms: Features Obsolescence for Release 9i", which I downloaded from OTN, clearly indicates that the client-server runtime will be obsolete in 9i, and (quote) "users who currently deploy their application in a client-server environment and who wish to upgrade to 9i will have to Web-deploy their application as part of the upgrade process" (page 3). It also indicates that Oracle Graphics will not be shipped with Forms 9i. If someone needs Graphics, then Graphics 6i (not 9i) need to be installed into a separate Oracle_Home...
    I have been trying to convince some Oracle product managers for years to continue supporting the runtime environment. Oracle always refused to include the "runtime only" installation option for any flavor of unix (eventhough it was available for windows).
    The above news (of the fading away of client-server runtime option) really did upset me.
    We have been developing applications with Oracle Forms/Reports/Graphics for the client-server environment as the database frontend to different simulation models. Our forms includes buttons that allows the end-users to download/upload ascii files to the file system/database. We and our customers (including the international users) are very happy with the client-server runtime option and don't want to use the forms server (or the iAS) just to be able to run these complex forms/reports/graphics applications.
    Oracle keeps telling people that it will be cheaper to move to iAS and serve the forms via iAS forms services. For small size client-server applications this is absolutely not true. We are an Oracle partner and I have discussed the licensing issues with them and am aware of the deploying costs. Let me tell you couple of things:
    1. Oracle forms/reports services included only in the enterprise version of 9iAS, not the standard version.
    2. If the end-user is licensed for Oracle database server and has a copy of Forms/Reports Developer 6i, then they can run the client-server application without any extra license (number of users does not apply in this case).
    3. Forms/Reports Developer 6i is not a separate product and could be obtained by purchasing iDS (internet Developer Suite) or iAS EE license. iDS is a windows only product and includes designer 6i, Jdeveloper additional to the forms/reports developer 6i. Someone might say, "the end-user might not need all the extra just to be able to run your forms". Answer to that is the cost of purchasing a 2 years license for iDS is almost equal or cheaper than the cost of 2 years named user license (based on the fact that 9iAS EE has a 10 named user minimum requirement). And the end-user can install only the forms/reports part of iDS (given the fact that forms/reports 6i is available for different platforms including solaris - does not have to be windows).
    4. This information if from the Oracle Partnership and any Oracle employee which doubts about it should talk to them to verify.
    Here are my questions:
    ========================
    Given all these FACTS (our satisfaction level with the client-server environment with Forms/Reports Developer 6i and the licensing information) I would like to ask to those Oracle employees (or personnel) how they justified the termination of the client-server runtime in Forms 9i?
    If the Forms/Reports Developer 6i will be the only (and the last) version that supports client-server runtime environment, how long Oracle is going to support it?
    I need to know to decide if we should use the forms/reports in our future projects or not.
    Thank you (for reading all this crap) and best regards.
    Zafer AKTAN
    Oracle DBA/Developer

    Question 1
    I would like to ask to those Oracle employees (or personnel) how they justified the termination of the client-server runtime in Forms 9i?
    This descicion was made from feedback from our customers. Feedback from the Forms Customer Advisory Board and the Oracle Developer Tools Group (ODTUG) indicated that they are 1)in the process of moving their client-server applications to the web, 2)have already moved to the web, 3)are looking at web stategies and 4)this is also the direction that Oracle Applications division is taking.
    It is proven that while liscencing for the web may not be cheaper in itself, the total cost of ownership is cheaper with web deployment once you figure in the ease of maintanence, deployment, and configuration.
    Question 2
    If the Forms/Reports Developer 6i will be the only (and the last) version that supports client-server runtime environment, how long Oracle is going to support it?
    Yes, Forms 6i is the last version to support client-server runtime. 6i will be patched through 2006 with extended support through 2008.

  • Installing a Forms & Report middle Tier (10.1.2) on a 10.1.3 farm

    I have to install a new farm based on the 10.1.3 release. I will install the Infrastracture and one middle tier in two different Oracle Homes. The problem is that I need also Forms & Report Services, and we know that there will be no F&R services until release 11. The question is:
    can I install a 10.1.2 middle tier instance on top of a 10.1.3 infrastructure (with a different Oracle Homve, of course)?
    Thanks in advance
    Rino

    AS 10.1.3 doesn't have any infrastructure (as well as not having Web Cache etc). The latest full release is 10.1.2.0.2, which includes infrastructure and Forms/Reports. For Identity Management, I'd recommend the new 10.1.4.
    As indicated above, the latest Forms/Reports release is 10.1.2.0.2 (patched to 10.1.2.2), which is the one you should use. You can install either the full Application Server 10.1.2.0.2 with Forms/Reports, or use the Forms&Reports Only release.

  • Forms / Reports 6i - slow starting printing & FRM-41211 Integration error

    We are having a problem with Forms / Reports 6i that seems to be slowly getting worse.
    When beginning printing, the CPU usage goes up to 100%. In task manager I can see IFRUN60.EXE or RWRBE60.EXE, or IFBLD60.EXE or RWBLD60.EXE taking up 70% or so of the CPU time with the rest being taken up by the SPOOLSV.EXE spooler service.
    This can be observed when
    * Starting the Reports background generator from the Forms runtime
    * Printing from a "print form" function inside the Forms runtime
    * Starting Reports builder
    * Printing from Reports Builder
    * Printing from Forms Builder
    The big problem is launching Reports from the Forms runtime. If this CPU / Spooler wheel spinning takes more than 30 seconds or so (and it can on slower machines), Forms thinks that it has failed to launch Reports and gives the error "FRM-41211 Integration error: SSL failure running another product" Eventually the reports background generator will finish launching.
    This happens on NT 4, 2000, XP, and 2003 server. I have tried this in a "clean" configuration where nothing else (no extra services or anything) is running at all and this still happens. We are currently running Forms & Reports Patchset 17.
    Does anyone have any idea what is causing this? Thanks.

    More info:
    This is one of the lines that is calling the report:
    RUN_PRODUCT(REPORTS, 'ORDER_PRINT.RDF', SYNCHRONOUS, BATCH, FILESYSTEM,ORDER_ID,'');
    Here is another one:
    RUN_PRODUCT(REPORTS
    ,'OE_AUTO_QUOTE'
    ,SYNCHRONOUS
    ,RUNTIME
    ,FILESYSTEM
    ,ORDER_ID
    We have a client/server setup. We are running 6i forms and reports, with a 9 database.
    There have been no changes to these forms or reports. And it doesn't happen all the time. It just happens every-so-often.
    EDIT - I guess it has been doing this for the past 3 weeks. One user says it happens everytime she tries to print anything from a form......
    I've searched the forum about this and there are a lot of unanswered questions. I'm thinking my chances are slim on figuring this out.
    2nd EDIT - I looked at the documentation at
    https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=NOT&p_id=164945.1
    everything seems to be right - according to that. So I'm wondering if this has anything to do with any sort of networking issues.....
    .....3rd EDIT........
    Still searching. It looks like this person has the same problem. http://www.webservertalk.com/archive149-2005-11-1283220.html
    Having problems with the rwrbe60.exe
    I'm wondering if there was some sort of patch Microsoft let out that is causing this issue?

  • Problem installing Oracle Internet Developer Suite 1.0.2.4.1 (Forms & Reports 6i)

    Hi all,
    I am unable to install Oracle Internet Developer Suite 1.0.2.4.1 - specifically Forms & Reports 6i, Designer, Discoverer (ALL Products on Quick Install option on Windows 98 system). The installation proceeds to Install screen when the various files start to load ... Then the whole process stops after showing 100% load (sometimes the screen freezes, sometimes I get error message - illegal instruction etc) when the following file is being loaded :
    Extracting ... ewt_swingaccessbridge.jar
    I have another question :
    I have Personal Oracle 8i (8.1.7) installed on D:\Oracle\Ora81 already.
    During the install process (before I get the above error message) the 8.1.7 RSF-based product install location screen presents itself with the option to create a new Oracle Home and location (The preferred Oracle Home name iDSData and preferred Oracle Home Location D:\ORACLE\iDSData are already entered in the boxes) or Select an existing ORACLE_HOME. My existing ORACLE_HOME is
    D:\Oracle\Ora81. What am I supposed to do at this point ? The installation guide is not explicit. Any help with these topics will be greatly appreciated.
    I will be greatly obliged to anyone who can assist me with installing Forms & Reports 6i. Many thanks in advance.
    Sincerely,

    Had the same problem too. It won't install in the same directory as your database. You need to create a new directory on your hard drive and have it installed there. Worked for me.

  • Installation Guidance (WebLogic 10.3.5 / Oracle Forms,Reports 11.1.1.6)

    Goal : I am a designer/developer, have worked on already-installed systems for years, now between contracts and want/need to set up my own installation of Oracle Database 11g R2 database and development tools including Oracle Forms/Reports 11g (also SQL Developer and Application Express, but these come with the DB).
    Caveat : have not done an installation of the DB and development tools for years and I know a lot has changed.
    System : Windows 7 (64 bit), 6 GB RAM, 600 GB Hard Drive
    Here is an overview of the steps as I understand them from the documentation I've been able to find. I know there are lots of details for each step but I want to know if the overall order is right.
    1. Install DB (downloaded Oracle 11G Release 2, ready to install Enterprise Edition).
    2. Install Repository Creation Utility 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.5.0) to set up the schemas for Fusion Middleware
    ** QUESTION ** where on earth does one find this? Anyone have a link for it? Or does it come with a larger patchset/installation set?
    3. Install Oracle WebLogic Server 11g (10.3.5)
    4. Install Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer Release 11g (11.1.1.2.0) but do not configure (advice given in documentation for 11.1.1.6 Patchset)
    5. Install and Configure 11.1.1.6 Patchset
    Any comments or suggestions welcome. Hope to avoid pitfalls if possible.
    Thanks in advance !

  • Need information about Oracle Forms & Reports server installation

    Hello Friends,
    First of all I am very new user for oracle forums, So please ignore if I posted wrong place.
    We are using Oracle Database 10g and Oracle forms & Reports server 6i version.
    We just purchased oracle forms & reports (currently known as a Oracle Fusion middleware) license.  As per my knowledge latest version doesn't support Oracle 10g database.
    My question is can somebody give me Oracle Database 10g supported Forms & Reports version?
    We are planning to upgrade.
    Help would be really appreciated.
    Thanks & Regards.

    Thanks a lot for prompt response.
    I get my answer from your certification matrix.  I appreciate your response.
    Now second question arise that We are using currently Database version of 10.2.0.1.0.
    And in a certification matrix shows supported version Oracle 10.2.0.4+.
    Now I am bit confused that currently working database supports or not?
    Still i am trying to install on My window 2008 R2 with IIS 7.0.
    Let me check what happens.
    Again Thanks a lot to ccortez and PaulM  for your quick response and help.

  • Updateable Report Question.

    Updateable Report Question.
    Currently I am developing an XE application, so I think that is apex 2.0.
    Here is an example of what I wish to achieve.
    Suppose I have an emp table with columns
    dept, id, name and comment.
    I create an SQL report as
    SELECT * from emp;
    I only wish to see the name and comment columns, so in the report attributes I un-tick show the columns dept and id.
    I want the user to be able to update the comment column, So I edit the comment column and in “Tabular Form Element” I change the “Display As” from “Standard Report Column” to “Text Field”
    This now lets me edit the data in the column in the report.
    Now want to add in an on change event to call a javascript routine that will use ajax to do the actual update.
    My problem is that I need to pass in the “hidden” dept and id column values as well as the modified text, thus
    In “Tabular Form Element” – “Element Attributes” add in
    onchange="updateRemarks(#DEPT#, #ID#, this.value)"
    Unfortunately this does not work, apex does not expand the #DEPT# & #ID#, and just passes in the literal text.
    So how can I achieve this?
    Thanks,
    GP>

    The columns and rows have a set format for the Id, so if you know one Id you know the row and the ids of all the other columns.
    As an example, this will show the value of column 6 when you click on any column with the function call in the Element Attributes:
    Script:
    <script type="text/javascript">
    function showCol6(col){
      var col6 = document.getElementById("f06_" + col.id.substr(4,4));
      alert(col6.value);
    </script>Element Attributes:
    onclick=showCol6(this);You could also use a Named Column template, specific to this region, to include the column values directly in the function call, but I think it's best to stick with the ApEx defaults if possible.

  • Error installing Forms/Reports Server on linux m/c having EBS R12 installed

    Hi,
    We are trying to install Forms and Reports server (Oracle Application Server 10gR2 (10.1.2.0.2) Forms and Reports Services) on a linux x86 box. The box already has Oracle E-business Suite R12 running on it. Our end goal is to install Oracle Transport Management (OTM), which requires Oracle Forms and Reports server to run its reports. When installing Forms and Report server I am getting following error. During installation, I gave a different set of ports to be used by Oracle Forms/Reports Apps server (and not the default) in staticports.ini and ensured that those ports are available. Any idea what could be the issue. If the issue is due to port conflict, how do I find which is the conflicting port. Also, is it possible to re-use Oracle Applications' Forms/Reports server for other applications like OTM.
    Get the following error during installation of Oracle Application Server 10gR2 (10.1.2.0.2) Forms and Reports Services:
    . Please also check the logs located at
    ORACLE_HOME/dcm/logs to determine why DCM was unsuccessful in updating
    the configuration files on disk. Some possible causes are:

    * file contention issues on Windows NT
    * internal Oracle error
    After resolving the problem that prevented DCM from updating the configuration

    So ...
    After a lot of searches, it was necessary a help from a Weblogic Administrator to find out what was going on with the installation process. The problem was with the memory allocation to the Weblogic VM. The process EMGC_OMS1 could not be started cos it was not possible to create a VM into SERVERADMIN.
    With just my DB experience I could not find any logs besides emctl.log and that one that it's shown in OEM Installler interface. The Weblogic Administrator was browsing the HOME where the Weblogic was installed and he found logs that showed the error telling where the problem was. Even downloading the OEM 12c 32bit, it was allocated memory to the java as if it was 64bit. The solution was decreasing the values of memory and clicking in Retry. So, my OEM Cloud Control 12c it's working now.

We are migrating the forms & reports successfully on windows using 10g ids. while deploying forms & Reports in application Server on HP-UX, it will not work as platform is different.
    So my question is,
    How do I compile all forms & Reports under unix environment using Application Server?
