Forms runtime key mappings

I'm running a form that was compiled in unix and created with forms 6.0 for win NT. When I run the form in unix, the enter key does not work. When I do CTRL+K for the mappings the "RETURN---RETURN" is not there. Where and how can I modify the keyboard mappings for forms runtime in unix. Pleas help me, any information would be appreciated. My project depends on it.
Thanks,
Donovan

You need to use Oraterm to change them for client server. Unfortunately this tool is by far the worst tool oracle have ever produced. It is extremely difficult to use and full of bugs.

Reading Forms Key Mappings from java bean - how ?

I want to be able to invoke key trigger code in a Forms 10g run-time from a java bean (extends BeanWrapper) either by:
a) using inherited method calls passing the KeyEvent retrieved from my listener, or
b) dispatching a custom event from the bean with a parameter value which identifies the key trigger to process (not the key code & modifier string).
On a), I've not been able to identify any method in the BeanWrapper hierarchy tree that might help me do this, and samples like (http://forms.pjc.bean.over-blog.com/categorie-465294.html) seem to imply that no such method exists.
In terms of b), the oracle.forms.engine.KeyMapTable class seems to be what I want (seems to translate the KeyEvent into a FormAction/string using server settings), but getting a hold of this object through (oracle.forms.engine.Main)getHandler().getApplet() doesn't seem possible.
How are others invoking eg: key-crerec from a Forms 10g bean component in a way which is sensitive to server key mappings ?
Thanks in advance for your help.

I have no experience with KeyEvents in Forms, but if the KeyMapTable class really is the solution, can't you just instantiate one yourself.
Looking at the constructor it only needs a single argument, the oracle.forms.engine.Runform class. You should be able to get a handle on it with:
IHandler hander = getHandler();
if (handler instanceof UICommon) {
UICommon u = (UICommon)handler;
// u.getDispatcher() should get oracle.forms.engine.Runform
}Not sure if it will work, but you can give it a try.
I love pushing the PJC and Oracle Forms applet to its limits. Not really sure if Oracle intended the PJC framework to do stuff like this, but it sure would have helped if they have JavaDoc about the oracle.forms.* classes

Forms Runtime crashes when installing on clients (W95)

I'm trying to test my application which has been created with Developer 2000. Forms only, no reports or anything else yet.
It is my understanding that all I have to do is install the FORMS RUNTIME item from the developer CD. If this is wrong, please correct me. My problem is when it gets a small portion of the way through the install, it crashes - why and how do I fix this? My error is a GPF, 'Orainst caused an invalid page fault in module kernel32.dll'. This happens on every machine so far, all Windows 95B.
Any advice is appreciated.

I finally callled Oracle Tech Support and figured out my problem. Thought I'd post it in case anyone else has this trouble. I had the Ora8i client installed because my app was originally VB & used ODBC drivers etc.
I uninstalled every Oracle component on my machine.
Physically deleted the Oracle folders from C: and from C:\Program Files
In Regedit I physically deleted the two Oracle keys under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE and HKEY_LOCAL_USER/SOFTWARE.
Reinstalled the forms runtime files using the default Oracle Home (which it requires). Then installed Net80 components to enable communication with my database.
So far so good.

Can you clone Remote System key mappings?

We have 2 Remote Systems set up for our MDM repository with key mappings for 60 tables. I now need to add an additional Remote System which is similar to one of the existing ones, but with a few different values. Is there any way I can clone the existing one or do I have to go through all 60 tables one by one, export the info, edit it to show the new Remote System name and re-import it? I have searched the sources but can't find anything on this precise topic.
Thanks for any help you can give.
Peter Croft

Peter,
No you cannot.
Prepare a source having Just two columns ex., new Remote Keys of the system and an common identifier field in the table which you are planning to import with the data. Import it and get it to the data manager as records with just two fields(Remote Key and Common identifier). If you have the import maps already stored for the tables when you have done for the previous imports for the other two remote systems, use them and automate the importing process for this particular remote system (via port configuration in console and Data manager) for the remaining fields of the table.

Form Runtime

Hi,
What is the best way to connect to the database schema automatively when the form is in run time.
Example:
When you close the form builder or run the form in form runtime, it always prompts you for the database schema. What is the best way to solve this problem, because my form will deploy into the web server, I don't want the user to enter the database schema. Please advise.
Thank you very much

With Forms 5.0 I use the following shortcut in Windows:

Still, beware!
This way you give the luser the username & password. Yet, for this application, there is a trick so that I don't reveal the username & password of the owner of the application object schema (the login user is a dumb user that can only execute some stored procs that do logon to the application schema if they are given the right params for username & password). Back scenes I use the logon & logout built-ins.

HST6i, Client/Server env. Forms runtime crash!

We successfuly instaled HSD6i on Forms Server. But we also need to run forms on client/server environment.
When I start HSU or generated app. in Forms Runtime (ver 6.0.8.11.3) and do nothing other than navigate from menu to form 'Users' for example, form opens but the very
next time whole runtime environment dissaper (crash with no error message).
How can I manage this problem?

I changed all 'automatic' to <unspecified> but my forms are still crashing with access violation at uiw60.dll. It seems that only forms with item groups though. I also found another posting here by Ivica Coric about "Problem with Item Groups" where people mentioned forms with item groups would crash. It seems that this is my problem. But changing 'automatic' to something else still doesn't solve my problem. Any ideas? Thanks.
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Headstart Team:
Uros,
I have discovered what makes this happen. As you have read in the the install guide, you need to change a number of properties in the object library. Specifically, the color "Automatic", which is very useful in webforms, is problematic on client/server.
Because most items in the generated forms subclass from the object library, you would ideally only need to recreate the fmx files and be rid of the "Automatics".
Unfortunately, there's one place where the generator uses the object library properties, but DOES NOT SUBCLASS BUT COPIES these properties into the generated forms. This happens with boilerplate graphics that result from item group decorations, and then only when the item group decoration has a prompt! Here the color of the CG$TITLE visual attribute is used, but not subclassed. This also explains why you solved it by regenerating the problematic forms.
To solve this for the applications you cannot regenerate, open the fmbs, navigate to the Canvas, and then to the Graphics. You'll find the culprit there soon enough.
Kind regards,

Edit [Key Mappings] in ItemDetails iView

Hello, all!
I'm new to portal content development.
I successfully created MDM ResultSet iView and MDM ItemDetails iView and I can see all fields that I need.
The problem is I can't edit Key Mappings for the raw chosen (but I can see the values).
Is this problem with my configuration?
Many thanks in advance

Hello, Namrata.
Thank You for reply.
I've already set "Enable Edit" option for the IView to true.
Also I've set the "Updatable" property for Key mapping field to true.
I can edit any other fields of IView, but cannot edit Key mapping field.

How can I attach any type of file in forms runtime

Hi Friends,
I need some help from any one of you.
Is there any possibility to attach any type of file in forms runtime?
If there is, how can. Please let me know the code.
Thanks

I think that you are going to have to explain what you want to do more clearly...

Forms runtime as cartridge?

In a document from July 1997 from Oracle called "Developer/2000
and the NCA: An Architectural Overview", authors Mark Doran et
al, the future direction of the Forms Runtime was stated to be:
In a release after 2.0, the Forms Runtime will be implemented
as a cartridge. The Web Application Server will invoke a
Forms cartrige directly to run a Forms application, elim-
inating the ned for a separate Listener process and Runtime
processes. In this configuration, the Forms cartridge will
be able to exploit all of the functionality of the Web
Application Server, including Inter-Cartridge Exchange
(ICX) and dynamic load balancing.
Initially, each instance of the Cartridge will handle a single
connected user, just as the Forms Runtime does today, but
in later versions a single cartridge will be able to serve
multiple simultaneous users for even greater scalability.
I have two questions:
a) is this still the intended direction of the Forms Runtime?
(I couldn't find this repeated in later documents)
b) if so, which release will/does have this feature?
I have scoured all the promotional documentation for OAS 4.0
and Developer 6.0 looking for an answer, but could not find
any.
The reasons I care are that 1) our client will continue to grow,
and the scalability improvement is interesting, and 2) if
you can use Inter-Cartridge Exchange to (I think) access
real CORBA objects which live in a custom-built application
cartridge that lives in OAS 4.0. From Forms, you have to
use Forms-specific syntax to access functions, and you
can't access objects directly.
null

I agree.
I've tested my application using Dev2.1 to find out that each
user was going to take up around 10M.
We have a user base of about 300, but usually theres only about
80 users on during our busiest time. 80Users * 10M = 800M.
Thats not even counting the memeory needed for the reports
server.
But to be fair OAS load balancing did cut down on apps which
were inactive.
But this still leaves me with the prospect of at least a 512M
apps server. Which might be incredibly slow during peak times.
So I started looking towards the OAS4.0 release which had this
promised shared cartridge architecture. But it looks as if we
are going to have to upgrade to Dev6.0 to use this cartridge
architecture.
What happened to Dev2.1?
I received the Dev6.0 beta CD, and was imressed by OAS4.0.
Should we just skip the Dev2.1 / OAS3.0 or are there going to be
further releases of Dev2.x supporting OAS4.0?

Forms runtime info. - URGENT-

I have an application developed in Forms 6. I have the following questions.
1. Should the end user purchase forms 6 to run the application?
2. If no, can he get forms runtime along with Oracle 9i, which can run the application?
3. Is Forms 6 runtime alone available to be purchased?
Please help me out at the earliest.
Thanks
Raghu

If we are talking about a client server application then the Forms runtime is for free and you don't need to buy it for the customer. The latest patches will make your forms work with an Oracle9i database. There is no separate packaging of the runtime, you can install just the runtime if you choose the custom install option from the CD that includes Forms.

Key mappings

Hello All
I have merged two identical data. and when I click right to edit the key mappings I didn´t see any information about the keys mappings of those two records that I have merged .
To edit key mappings of two records . How can I do it ?
When I defined the tables . I have defined "Yes" in Keymapping details .
=======================================================
I edited an xml file with two duplicated data . I have imported the data in my repository and now with data manager i´am trying to merge those two data . I want to edit the key mapping but i didn´t see any key mapping .
Any answer about the situation ?
Thanks

Hi Stan,
I assume that you imported the ID of the records into a plain field in your repository. But you have to pick [Remote Key] as the destination in the Import Manager mapping (if you need both, clone the field).
This way, you'll get an entry in the key mapping for the chosen client system with the record ID. If you merge now, you will have two entries in the Key Mapping.
For the [Remote Key] field to appear, your client system has to be inbound/outbound.
Hope this helps,
Christiane

Oracle Form Runtime (bug)

Hi guys..
I have created an application composed by 5/6 forms. I created a .BAT file that launches the main MENU form, that has all the related buttons wich call the other modules of the application. NOw the issue is the seguent, if I install the forms on the local machine I have no problems at all. But instead, if I install them on a server pc, I begin having very strange problems. For example, my main MENU forms gets launched without any issues, I press the first button on the main menu and my application starts, if I exit and then press another button, it literally EXPLODES. The forms runtime crashes and creates a DUMP file. Now the strange thing is that it doens't do it on every PC.
Do you guys know anything about this ?

Could it be that you have lot of other programs running in the server so there is not enough memory to run forms.
Just curious, why are you using a combination of version 5 and version 6 forms?
From your main form, are you calling both version 5 and version 6 fmx files?
