Forms to XML conversion

Hi;
What library and jar files needed to run "frmf2xml.bat" without installing Oracle Development suite 10g?
I have tried with frmjdapi.jar, frmxmltools.jar, xmlparserv2.jar, xschema.jar and tweak "frmf2xml.bat" for jar files path.
When I convert I get error saying:
"Error initializing the forms Jdapi:
no frmjapi in java.library.path"
Thank you in advance.
Shaun S

What you are attempting to do is not supported by Oracle nor is it recommended.

Oracle9i Forms and XML-conversion

Hi,
in Duncan's White Paper "Oracle9i Forms in a Java World" you can find the following passage:
"These conversion tools make it possible to perform operations on Forms files that were impossible before. For example, you cannot diff and merge Forms binary
source files themselves. However, you can use the tools to convert two FormsModule files to XML, diff and merge them, validate the result, and covert it back to a Forms .FMB."
I must admit, my knowledge about Forms6i is quite limited, but I'm aware of the possibility to convert *.FMB (binary format) to *.FMT (text format) and vice versa. So I thought, this would have been possible before.
I'm not sure about that, so any clarification on this would be very nice.
What are the benefits of the XML-representation? I guess it't more readable because XML can better reflect the structure of a module than a flat textfile. Are there other reasons to use XML? Can someone give me real world applications (besides the mentioned diff/merge and documention purposes)?
Tnanks a lot,
Eric

Eric - we never supported you editing the FMT in any way and also, not all the information in the FMT was in text format.
XML gives you a structured text representation, meaning, as a text file you can easily make changes/diff/merge etc etc and so long as it still is in the correct structure it will convert back to FMB. You couldn't do this with FMT.

Error when converting form to XML

I get this error when trying to convert a form using this method:
frmf2xml.bat OVERWRITE=YES AvaAcPt.fmb
Oracle Forms 10.1.2 Forms to XML Tool
Copyright(c) 2001, 2005, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Processing module AvaAcPt.fmb
WARNING: Invalid value (100) for property DataType on object OK.
WARNING: Item CURR_CODE - all ListItemElements must have an Index, Name and Value.
WARNING: Invalid value (100) for property DataType on object OK.
WARNING: Invalid value (100) for property DataType on object INACTIVECUSTOMER.
WARNING: Invalid value (100) for property DataType on object OK.
XML Module saved as AvaAcPt_fmb.xml
The WARNING: Item CURR_CODE - all ListItemElements must have an Index, Name and Value. is obvious. It a list is empty this warning is thrown out. Of course my concern is when we do the XML to Forms conversion later will the list item and associated code be reconstructed correctly?
As for the 3 OK buttons and the INACTIVECUSTOMER button the converter puts a DataType attribute, which is meaningless to a button.
I tried to find any peculiarities with the buttons but could not find any.
Has anybody else experienced this problem?

Hi,
I have got the same warning “ all ListItemElements must have an Index, Name and Value” when converting form from fmb to xml using frmf2xml.
Have you find any course of this and how to fix it?
Thanks!

Export PDF Form to XML through VBScript

Hi,
I was wondering if there is a way to automate the export of an Adobe PDF Form to XML, either using the Adobe SDK/AcroExch.App or the PDF Test Toolkit.
I'm wanting to perform this action via a QuickTest Pro Script and thought there might be a funciton already written to perform this action, rather than having to automate the selection of Document>>Forms>>Export Data... from the Adobe Reader Menu and the Export Dialog.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated
Thanks in advanced,
Ross

Hi,
Are you trying to edit the Adobe Test Toolkit ? If yes, I think it’s not easy to edit Adobe Test Toolkit. If you want to export PDF file to Microsoft XML file and Adobe is not working with you, than I will recommend you to try Classic PDF Editor which can easily export PDF files to Microsoft XML files. Classic PDF Editor also done many other type of file conversation like PDF to Doc, XML, PPT etc
If Classic PDF Editor solve your problem, must come back share your important views about this software.
Thanks

Any 3rd party tools to convert FORMS to XML and back?

The Oracle conversion tool that comes with 10g Forms gives errors.
I was wondering whether there any any 3rd party tools?
I searched to net with no success.
I bumped into one site which gave these 2: FormGreg or FormsTool (http://www.orcl-toolbox.com/formstool.asp).
FormGreg is not available (I Googled but no success) and FormsTool (I downloaded and installed) has no XML conversion tools.

Hi,
Thanks so much for replying. I posted the errors here (no answers though):

APEX 3.2 Forms and Reports Conversion

Hi,
This link is a summary of APEX 3.2 new features (Forms and reports conversion and migrationn).
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/3.2_new_features.html
Just wondering if I can convert and migrate Oracle reports 6.0 ? If yes, I would appreciate steps to convert my Oracel 6.0 reports to APEX.
Thanks,
Ribhi

Hello Ribhi,
For a readon I don't understand you have to start your migration project with uploading a Form (XML version). When you've done that you can add other types of source files, like Libraries, Object Libraries, Menu's and....Reports.
So it seems (now) that you MUST have an Oracle Form to start with.

Date format in XML conversion

Hello,
I am using oracle8i. The date format is not giving the proper date values in XML conversion..
create table test(dt date);
insert into test values(sysdate);
insert into test values(sysdate);
insert into test values(sysdate);
TEST.WORLD> select * from test;
DT
28-NOV-04
28-NOV-04
28-NOV-04
set autoprint on
set long 100000
set linesize 100000
set longchunksize 100000
var g_clob clob
declare
l_ctx dbms_xmlquery.ctxType;
l_clob clob;
begin
l_ctx := dbms_xmlquery.newContext('select dt from test');
dbms_lob.createtemporary(:g_clob,true,dbms_lob.session);
dbms_xmlquery.setdateformat(l_ctx,'yyyy-mm-dd');
:g_clob := dbms_xmlquery.getXml(l_ctx);
end;
Here is the output . It is dispalying the 03 For the month november.
<?xml version = '1.0'?>
<ROWSET>
<ROW num="1">
<DT>2004-03-28</DT>
</ROW>
<ROW num="2">
<DT>2004-03-28</DT>
</ROW>
<ROW num="3">
<DT>2004-03-28</DT>
</ROW>
</ROWSET>

When you call DBMS_XMLQUERY.SETDATEFORMAT, you must supply the mask using the syntax defined by java.text.SimpleDateFormat.
You need to use "yyyy-MM-dd".
In your case, "yyyy-mm-dd", the lower case "mm" is the mask for minutes.

JAVA Mapping for XML conversion during runtime

Dear SAP JAVA experts,
For quite I have been struggling to keep the JAVA code in place for JSON to XML conversion being a newbie.
Following is the code snippet.

   String strJSON = "";
   InputStream inputStream = input.getInputPayload().getInputStream();
   inputStream.close();
   String jsonData = IOUtils.toString(strJSON);
           XMLSerializer serializer = new XMLSerializer();
           JSON json = JSONSerializer.toJSON( jsonData );
           String xml = serializer.write( json );
           //System.out.println(xml);
           output.getOutputPayload().getOutputStream().write(strJSON.getBytes());
catch(Exception ie) { }
Caught unaware of 2 queries.
1.I have added the com.sap.aii.utilxi.core.io.IOUtil jar files from the PI server even though its displays error "The com.sap.aii.utilxi can not be resolved". Also I added the XPI libraries in NWDS but nothing moving to solve the issue.
2. I have commented the line of code where I have placed a test file in the path to test it i.e. JSON.text. But when it is deployed as Archived files, then this code has to be replaced.
The Method toString(InputStream) in the type IOUtils is not applicable for the arguments (String)

Which jar file did you add?
/usr/sap/<<SID>>/DVEBMGS<<SYSNO>>/j2ee/cluster/bin/ext/com.sap.xi.util.misc/lib
jar file name : com.sap.aii.utilxi.core.jar

To read the input stream you should have
InputStream inputstream = transformationInput.getInputPayload().getInputStream();
Please refer to below blog just to get an idea on working with input stream and output stream.

Reading the form as XML, using WDJ

Hello.
I'm using WD for Java and ZCI layout.
I've seen this thread-
Re: Data in dynamic table not pass to webdynpro java
about getting data from tables in the form by reading the form's XML data.
I tried to search for a method to get the XML in IWDInteractiveForm, and other classes, but I didn't find anything.
So how can I get the form's XML when the user clicks Submit?
Best regards,
Arik.

Hi Kathy
After loading a form over XML, we made the experince that in matrices link buttons will not appear everwehere they should. It's a tricky part and we made a work around by changing the columns order and then...the Link Buttons came up ok.

Seeburger EDI Text to EDI XML conversion failure should throw an error

Hi,
I am expecting an error message to be thrown when EDI Text to EDI XML conversion fails at Message splitter of Seeburger module. I am getting the following error in the log.
"2012-01-19T01:46:08.032-0800 ERROR [Error:ID=2150;LEVEL=3] counter value (41) of incoming field (UNB.UNH.UNT:0074) doesnt match the calculated value (39).
DESCRIPTION: Either the counter value is not filled in the source file or the counter field value is wrong. "
But my expectation is that the channel should show some error in Adapter Engine monitoring itself. As shown below, it is just showing some warning that because of above error, it is not creating the attachment. Now I am expecting the the following warning to be an error rather than just warning. Please let me know if any idea on the same.

BR,
Aman

Thanks you all for your inputs..
I got the solution for the same.
I need to set the mapping program name specifically rather than AUTO for bic mappingName parameter. This has turned my communication channel status in RWB into Red for errors.
Closing this thread ...
