Forms6i behaviour
hello everyone..
i have master-detail block form..
my header block has 2 fields ..
- tdate (defaulted wth sysdate) and
- tno (disabled at runtime)
- tref a Non-required field
my detail block has
- actno
- acode and
- acamt
Join relation is set to cascading...where hblk.tno=dblk.actno
1 of my header block level trigger;
WHEN-CREATE-RECORD
get_tno(:tno);
which brings value for field 'tno' when the form is in CREATE
i hav WHEN-VALIDATE-TRIGGER for 'tdate'
get_tno(:tno);
whats happening is, when the form is dislayed for the first time,
'tdate' gets its value from sysdate, the cursor is in 'tno' field,
now lets say at this point,i press down-arrow key,
'tno' gets filled with a number..(due to triggers defined above)
and form advances to next new header record No.2,,without promptng that no detail record have been entered for header record No.1.
As a result, if i unknowingly complete the transaction entering the detail section,
believing that the i am enterting for the first headerrecord...
Form actually saves 2 transactions as a result...one with just a header and no details records for it...
when i press again down-key at the second record,then it flashes error, frm-40102-Record must entered or deleted...
and stop me from advancing to the 3rd header record.
i want this message to get raised, when form is at the first record itself....
any ideas what should i change...
TY..

I assume tno is a Sequence. why you are using sequence no in when-validate-item

Indifferent behaviour of non database CHECKBOX in Forms6i
I've the following kind of UI in forms 6i:
There's a multi record data block to which i have added a non database checkbox(just an UI item). Depending
on whether the checkbox is checked i need to mass update the records, if unchecked then no need of updating
the attributes. The mass update happend on pressing a button. WHEN BUTTON PRESSED FOR THE buton has the
following code:
if :CONTROL.TRANS_TIME is not null or :CONTROL.TRANS_UOM is not null or
then
GO_BLOCK('SET_TRANSS');
first_record;
WHILE :SET_TRANSS.SET_ID is not null LOOP
IF :SET_TRANSS.UPDATE_FLAG = 1 AND :SYSTEM.LAST_RECORD != 'TRUE' THEN
:SET_TRANSS.TRANS_TIME := :CONTROL.TRANS_TIME;
:SET_TRANSS.TRANS_UOM := :CONTROL.TRANS_UOM;
next_record;
ELSIF :SET_TRANSS.UPDATE_FLAG = 1 AND :SYSTEM.LAST_RECORD = 'TRUE' THEN
:SET_TRANSS.TRANS_TIME := :CONTROL.TRANS_TIME;
:SET_TRANSS.TRANS_UOM := :CONTROL.TRANS_UOM;
exit;
ELSIF :SET_TRANSS.UPDATE_FLAG = 2 THEN
IF :SYSTEM.LAST_RECORD != 'TRUE' THEN
next_record;
ELSE
exit;
END IF;
ELSE
exit;
END IF;
END LOOP;
end if;
The user the specifies the values for mass updates in the botton part, text fields for which are in the
control block namely :CONTROL.TRANS_TIME and :CONTROL.TRANS_UOM.
The problem is that it doesnt work if the first record is unchecked i.e the flag :SET_TRANSS.UPDATE_FLAG is 2.
Stangely when i see the diagnostics i find the value for :SET_TRANSS.UPDATE_FLAG as null.
Why despite keeping the value when unchecked for the checkbox as 2 the value is null.
After setting the value of :SET_TRANSS.UPDATE_FLAG to 2 through diagnostics everything goes fine.
What can be the cause??
Thanks,
Abhishek.I think my code is fine. Only problem's with the checkbox that's not having value 2 when unchecked.
The Properties of the checkbox are:
Value when checked: 1
Value when unchecked: 2
Checkbox mapping of other values: Unchecked
Initial Value: 2
Datatype: NUMBER
LENGTH: 1
Database Item: NO
Any clues people?? -
Commit message behaviour problem
Hi all,
I'm using forms6i in C/S mode.
I have a form program that after commit would display an alert and ask user whether to re-direct to another form. The form normally commits and would display the standard message "Transaction complete: 1 records applied and saved" in the system message bar at the bottom. However, when I answer the re-direct alert button and call a new form, a dialogue box always appear with the transaction complete message.
Any ideas how I can disable this annoying dialogue box?
Any suggestion would be appreciated!
Thanks,Hi Duncan & Kevin,
Here's the program flow:
1)At key-commit trigger I commit and do a re-query to refresh the form.
2)Then I check whether the program needs to re-direct to another form.
3)If re-direct is required then pop-up an Alert to ask user whether to re-direct or cancel. If Cancel the form would update a field and do another commit. for re-direct, it simply call a new form using call_form.
Now, I set the message_level before step 3. The actual behaviour is that if user select cancel, the Transaction Complete simply display in the system message line at the bottom of the screen. However, if user select re-direct, then a pop-up dialogue box showing the Transaction Complete message is displayed.
How can I suppress the dialogue box but not the message on the system message line. I don't want user to click an OK button for that message.
Thanks a lot -
Hi,
We are running a client/server Forms6i application. An issue was raised with Forms6i which is that when you click on an item, you have to click again in order to select the text in it. This is different behaviour to Forms4.5 where it was possible to click on an item and select the text in one operation.
The render=0 runtime option will overcome this problem in 6i but I am unable to find any documentation that describes exactly what this does - as we would like to know any side effects.
Does anyone know anything about the values for render and the effect of using it?
TIA
SteveHi,
The render=0 is an undocumented runform parameter. This parameter will cause all text items to have rendered set to false. "Rendering" is the act of drawing a picture. In the context of the Windows environment, "Rendering" is the act of drawing a picture of a GUI widget that looks just like a normal widget, except for the fact that it does not use up resources like a normal widget would. Normally you use this option with GUI testing tools.

Active form difference between Forms6i and Forms10g
We have a custom forms application that has recently been migrated from Forms6i to Forms10g. Our clients have noticed the following difference and I would appreciate some feeback.
1. FormA is called from the menu (CALL_FORM('form_name, NO_HIDE...)
2. FormB is called from the menu (CALL_FORM('form_name, NO_HIDE...)
3. From WINDOW - select FormA
Under Forms10g the menu and toolbar are now inactive (the tool bar is greyed out and the menu item cannot be selected - FormsA is now in focus but not active).
Under Forms6i the menu and toolbar remain not grayed out (though actions are in relations to FormB - currently not in focus but it appears still the active form).
It appears that there has been a tightening up between what form is currently in focus and active.
Is this the expected behaviour?The menu items as not greyed out but in Forms10g the menu items do not function.
If you have a toolbar associated it is greyed out in Forms10g but not Forms6i.
I created a test case as follows; (forms created in 6i using wizards and then migrated to 10g).
1. Created form1
2. Created form2
3. Created Menu
* item 1 - CALL_FORM('TEST_FORM_1',NO_HIDE);
* item 2 - CALL_FORM('TEST_FORM_2',NO_HIDE);
* item 3 - EXIT_FORM;
4. Run TEST_FORM_1
5. From MENU select TEST_FORM_2
6. From WINDOW (or click on) TEST_FORM_1
7. From MENU select EXIT_FORM
Under Forms6i TEST_FORM_2 exits (not this is the current active form but not the one currently in focus).
Under Forms10g EXIT_FORM does nothing. -

Different query behaviour (index or no index use) between sql and pl/sql
Hi All,
I have a query inside a cursor in a procedure, let's say:
cursor c_emp (b_dept_no in number)
is
select *
from emp
where dept_no = b_dep_no;
There is an non unique index on dept_no.
In this procedure i first loop through another cursor which gets the dept_no and with this dept_no i go into a for loop for the c_emp cursor.
When i run this procedure i see that the explain plan of above query gives me a Full table Scan on EMP, eventhough there is a index on dept_no and there are 1.3 million records in the em table. When i take the above query and explain it seperately, it uses the index on dept_no.
I have rebuild/analyzed the tables and indexes, nothing seems to work. Even hints in the procedure cursor are not helping at all.
I'm using Oracle Database 10.2.0.1.0 and have never seen such behaviour before.
Anyone an idea what is going on here?
Kind regards,
DaveHoi Rob,
it's like i have three tables. The first i have to get data from for my output, then for every record of table one there are one or more records in table 2 and table 3.
I had to create a xml file and it looks like this:
<Table1 Record 1>
<Name>...</Name>
etc...
<Table2 Record 1>
</Table2 Record 1>
<Table2 Record 2>
</Table2 Record 2>
<Table3 Record 1>
</Table3 Record 1>
<Table3 Record 2>
</Table3 Record 2>
<Table1 Record 2>
etc.etc.etc.
So that's why i programmed:
for r_1 in c_table1 loop
for r_2 in c_table2(r_1.dept_no) loop
end loop;
for r_3 in c_table3(r_1.dept_no) loop
end loop;
end loop;
And when i look at the first record,
it has 2 records in table2 en 16 records in table3. So nothing huge.
For now i'm unable to trace the session. I will try to post the tkprof later.
Kind regards,

Has there been updates to transcription support in a PS 4 Windows Update? Behaviour has changed...
I utilise PowerShell transcription support heavily in my PS scripts. Essentially I utilise transcription as a replacement to having a logging framework - all logging is performed via Write-Host, Write-Verbose and Write-Debug calls, and then logged to file
via a call to Start-Transcript at the start of script execution.
Transcription support in PS versions prior to 5 is limited in that it is hard coded in the Start-Transcript and Stop-Transcript commands to throw an exception if the host is not an instance of Microsoft.PowerShell.ConsoleHost. Also, to make it even more difficult,
Stop-Transcript throws an error when there is no active transcript; but there is no way to detect if there is. Therefore, I use reflection to get the ConsoleHost.IsTranscribing internal property value to determine whether to call Stop-Transcript at script
completion. This logic has worked fine for PS versions 2, 3 and 4. However, more recently I believe a Windows Update patch has changed the way the transcription works. It appears that PS 4 now supports transcription functionality that I thought was PS 5 (CTP)
specific - nested transcription sessions (i.e. you can now continually call Start-Transcript and it will create more sessions, rather than throw an error when there is an active session). Also, the internals of how transcription is managed must have
changed because the IsTranscribing property no longer returns the correct value. I am unsure if there is now a "supported" way of checking for this rather than hacking into the internals of the host. This change results in my script creating multiple
transcription sessions as it does not know there is already transcription started.
Does anyone know if there has been any updates in PS 4 for the transcription functionality? Or any other details regarding this?
CheersHi Anna,
Thanks for the response. Can you make sense of the info below? Transcription appears completely broken
on the build on my machine, which I have not installed any PS CTP on. I am worried a hotfix such as KB3000850 which has also caused me the grief here:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/eaa4a532-5ff5-4a2f-89ce-7e72c71a8fb7/powershell-30-stuck-in-infinite-loop-resolving-members-internally-is-this-a-ps-bug?forum=winserverpowershell
https://connect.microsoft.com/PowerShell/feedback/details/1045858/add-member-cmdlet-invokes-scriptproperty-members-when-adding-new-member
...has been installed via Windows Update. I am running Windows 8.1 and all latest updates applied as at 23 April.
My $PSVersionTable is the same as yours except for "BuildVersion" 6.3.9600.17400. I can also call Start-Transcript continually and it will keep creating sessions. Once I do this all sessions receive data once I
enter more commands in the console (i.e. each file is getting the same data). This is the behaviour I would have expected in PS 5 with the transcription updates, but not in a PS 4 update.
NOTE: In addition to this, the data being fed into the transcription file is NOT the same format as the standard transcription format. The transcription file contains different data and
is not a true reflection of what is on the console). The following data is being output to the transcription file after each command:
CurrentMatchIndex ReplacementIndex ReplacementLength CompletionMatches
-1
0 8 {System.Management.Automat...
In addition to that (I haven't had a chance to look into this in detail), but the log files that are being generated by the PS module I have written are now containing a heap of contents that appear to be generated each time an exception
is thrown (even if it has been caught?)
"PS>TerminatingError(Invoke-Expression): xxxxxxx" and
"PS>TerminatingError(): "The pipeline has been stopped.""
messages, but no host, verbose, or debug data (i.e. terminating error details only, which I have never seen in the transcript file before). That's correct -
the transcription file doesn't contain any of the data it used to, just error info that did not used to be in there!!
Please assist urgently, this is a critical issue for me. -
APEX Application behaviour in a RAC setup
Hi
Caveat first: I'm pretty new to Oracle RAC and just looking into it as an option. We have an APEX application currently running in Oracle 11gR2 single node currently and are considering HA for this.
My question is: What would be the expected behaviour seen by a User of an APEX application, in the event of a node failure, when running with an OHS / RAC configuration? Will they get "transparent fail-over" and see nothing or will they see an error?
I appreciate I could post in the APEX forum, but feel that is probably more of a development forum and possibly someone here has had to look at things at this level.
I have read what I think may be the definitive reference for this:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/apex/learnmore/apex-rac-wp-133532.pdf
but while it covers most of what I want I don't believe I have found an answer to my question
This states:
"The Transparent Application Failover (TAF) feature of Oracle Net Services is a runtime failover for high-availability environments. It enables client applications to automatically reconnect to the database if the connection fails and, optionally, resume a SELECT statement that was in progress. The reconnection happens automatically from within the Oracle Call Interface (OCI) library. For applications that do insert, update or delete transactions, the application must trap the error when the failure occurs, rollback the transaction, and then resubmit. If the application is not written to be TAF aware, the session will get disconnected."
However (as I understand it) APEX runs in the database and would fail with the database, it isn't a typical "client application" connecting to Oracle via a TAF aware connection pool - it is essentially a large pl/sql package and TAF only covers SELECT statements not packages.
May be I'm over-reading this and it's simpler than that: APEX/Mod_plsql might just handle it?
- APEX User/HTTP session state is stored in database APEX: Understanding session state which is available on other nodes
- Mod_plsql in OHS can detect the error returning and reissues the request to good server and APEX on that instance can retrieve Users/HTTP state and process the request (APEX/RAC doc states mod_plsql can see an error from database and cleanup connection up and form a new connection, but not that it will retry the request for the client into other APEX/DB node).
I'm really just after a (transparent/non-transparent) statement based on experience, but an outline of how the components behave would be useful.
Thanks in advance
DaveHi
Any chance of getting that link outside of Metalink? - I'm trying to get our customer support id, but no luck at present.
I'm aware that APEX can run with RAC (as per the link I posted) - I'm really after next level info around behaviour in that environment.
Thanks

When trying to update my Mail Account Mailbox Behaviours settings, after making the changes when I try to close the settings pane the following messages occur: Invalid Incoming Mail Server The “Incoming Mail Server” field cannot be empty. The incoming mail server box has in light grey colour: p02-imap.mail.me.com in it and I cannot edit its content. Any ideas what is going on and how to fix it?
Hi all,
Mattreichenbach is probably on the right track here with a reset of settings. I think I've determined the issue has to do with cached account information and inconsistencies for the account name. This seems to crop up when I've changed my password and it hasn't propagated fully to all the servers, devices, certificates, etc.
Hopefully many here are on their way to restoration of service by now but it's clear that a lot of people are having the same issues. Very frustrating and definitely something Apple needs to resolve: incoming mail server field grayed out, incorrect autopopulation of different fields, other unanticipated behaviors. If you're still having issues, though, here's what worked for me...
First, head to the iCloud preferences pane in System Configuration and choose "Sign Out". When I did this it prompted me with a number of "are you sure" type questions about retaining information on my local machine. I chose to delete/remove the info each time simply because it should all be restored by the cloud and I didn't want to risk a massive duplication of my data... I will say, I'm back up and running with no issues so I suspect you can make the same delete/remove choices... But use your own judgment. I don't want you to lose any data (ie.. please use care as you do this because I cannot bear the thought of causing anyone to experience the pain of data loss).
Once you've signed out of iCloud, restart your system. When you get back in, head to the Mail, Contacts and Calendars section of your System Preferences and add your account back by choosing the brushed aluminum "iCloud" button. When it asks for your account name, use your @iCloud.com email address. I am all but certain my issue had started because one of my devices (iPhone or whatever) had been set up with an email alias specified instead of my @iCloud.com address.
Apple, if you're reading through any of these issues (there are TONS of users having this same problem). Take note, that your icloud service somewhat frequently is not responding and yet tells the user that the password is wrong and this prompts people to be changing their passwords unnecessarily. This has happened to me on numerous occasions. Also, I noticed that last week's outage corresponded to a VERY similar outage exactly one year ago to the day. Sounds like planned maintenance to me and I think you could do a better job notifying folks so we're not wasting HUGE amounts of time troubleshooting a problem that we have no hope of fixing.
Hope that helps some of you!

Behaviour of Microsoft Transporter Suite (Notes migration to Exchange 2007)
Dear Sir,
I have a question about configuraiton of Microsoft transporter, not sure whether it is a behaviour or it can be fixed.
Question 1:
Lotus Notes 7.04 --> Exchange 2007
Microsft Transport: Scheduler set to every 15 min.
Q1. Does it mean that Notes sync to AD User account setting only in every 15 min only ?
Q2. It seems that it will not sync Notes email mailbox message with Exchange mailbox until manual press
'Migrate selected mailbox', may I confirm that is it a design behaviour.
Q3. After created free/busy connector (Every 60 minutes of sync), it seems that it will not sync
user calendar until manual pressed 'Synchronize Now'.
Q4. Can Mirocosft transport suit support workstation NSF file to PST file ?
Q5. In notes environment, ACL will be used to configure boss/secretary condition which allow send as permission.
Does it mean that all permission will be reconfigured manually? Or any Microsoft tools to work on it.
Regards,
JoeHello Joe,
I checked with a specialist regarding your questions and here are the responses.
I hope this helps!
Q1. Does it mean that Notes sync to AD User account setting only in every 15 min only ?
If this is referring to Direcctory Synchoronization, then yes, it will synch any updates every 15 minutes. However, there is no reason to do a dirsync that often.
Q2. It seems that it will not sync Notes email mailbox message with Exchange mailbox until manual press
'Migrate selected mailbox', may I confirm that is it a design behaviour.
This one seems to refer to migration. If you are wanting to migrate the mailboxes and email, you would have to manually migrate each user. In other words, this is not an automated process. So yes, this is by design
Q3. After created free/busy connector (Every 60 minutes of sync), it seems that it will not sync
user calendar until manual pressed 'Synchronize Now'.
A dirsync will have to be run after the Free/Busy Connector is created. However, it should only have to be run once. After that, when a user requests new calendar information, it will pull information for that user
Q4. Can Mirocosft transport suite support workstation NSF file to PST file ?
Yes, you will have to use the EMS to do this. It's not possible via the GUI.
Q5. In notes environment, ACL will be used to configure boss/secretary condition which allow send as permission.
Does it mean that all permission will be reconfigured manually? Or any Microsoft tools to work on it.
There is not an automated way of doing this.

APEX Listener and EPG - strange behaviour
Hi
For some years, I've used EPG for APEX but have struggled with performance particularly as I can have up to 150 student developers using at any one time.
I do a fair amount of work using ORDImage and have successfully developed APEX applications to upload image files and display full-size and thumbnail images.
After upgrading to APEX 4.1 (from 4.0), I decided to install APEX Listener standalone.
Before I did so I checked that my applications still worked in 4.1 and they did.
However, just installing APEX Listener but not configuring it (yet) has meant that my image display in a report using a procedure based on wpg_docload.download_file( l_ordimage_image.source.localData ) no longer works in EPG - the images are not displayed.
Configuring APEX Listener and running the same application through that DOES display the images.
So this part of the application works under APEX Listener but not under EPG.
My application also allows users to upload images from APEX_APPLICATION_FILES using standard code. Under APEX Listener after uploading, I'm left with a blank page with a wwv_flow.accept URL although the image does indeed upload. Under EPG it works as expected and I get a success confirmation.
So this part of the application works under EPG but not under APEX Listener.
Has anyone else come across different behaviour depending on the mode of connection?
Thanks
Brian
[Oracle EE 11gR2, Windows Server 2008R2, APEX 4.1, APEX Listener 1.1.3]Hi Brian,
it sounds like you have both EPG and APEX Listener running on the same machine, so your problem might result from a port conflict. Note that both services use TCP port 8080 as default.
At least a port conflict would explain the strange behaviour in your case, some things working on one web server and some on the other.
Some parts of your initial post hint to that direction, e.g.
However, just installing APEX Listener but not configuring it (yet) has meant that my image display in a report using a procedure based on >wpg_docload.download_file( l_ordimage_image.source.localData ) no longer works in EPG - the images are not displayed.... because the APEX Listener only interfere with the EPG if it is at least running on the same machine as your database and furthermore, if it is unconfigured in terms of ist database connection, a port conflict might be the only way it could cause anything like that.
However, if you are sure that's not the issue, please check if you see any error in the APEX Listener's log for the following action you performed:
My application also allows users to upload images from APEX_APPLICATION_FILES using standard code. Under APEX Listener after uploading, I'm left with a blank >page with a wwv_flow.accept URL although the image does indeed uploadIf you actually see just a blank screen, something very bad must have happened and you should see some kind of stack trace there.
For further investigations, if necessary, it would be helpful to know how you deployed or started your APEX Listener and which JDK version you use.
For the moment, I still think the port conflict is my best guess.
You could avoid it by either changing the port for EPG (I'd not recommend that if you have other users still using it) or by changing the port for your APEX Listener.

External display flashes and shows 'snow'. (Video of behaviour included)
Since yesterday, my Macbook Pro is acting strange. When I connect it to an external monitor, it usually works. Everything goes well for 10 to 30 minutes, and at some point the display starts tearing, showing snow, and flashing. These flashes get worse and worse, up till the point where I have to reboot. Rebooting seems to help a little. Whenever the laptop hasn't been used for a few minutes it works correctly again, for a short while. (This makes me conclude it's some sort of heat-related issue)
The issue is present on multiple monitors using different DVI cables. I only have one mini-displayport to dvi adapter, so the problem could be there too.
This problem does not affect the internal display of the macbook in any way.
Here is a short video showing the behaviour:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BotUqHb3dM
What should I do? Try to figure out wether it's the mbp or the connector or just bring it in for a repair. (It's less than a year old)I have had similar issues with my 15" MBP. Occasionally my external monitor will go 1980s and display what looks like crappy tv reception.
Also, connecting or disconnecting an external display (via the single link mini display port to dvi adapter) has a tendency to lock up the entire machine (both displays black, won't respond to keyboard or mouse) until the power is cycled.
Also, my built in monitor has a habit of flickering/glitching lines.
These problems seem to happen regardless of which graphics card is active. -
Behaviour of letter of credit through credit note.

Erratic battery behaviour on Macbook air since latest update
My Macbook Air 11.1 is from 2011, and the battery started going bad last year. I ordered and placed a new battery in january. This worked perfectly, no problems whatsoever. This morning, I installed the latest available Apple update (unsure which one, can't find it). After that, my battery has been behaving strangely. This is what happened:
- I unplugged my laptop at one point, and moved it from my bed to desk. I went to my kitchen, returned, and the laptop had turned off.
- I put the charger in and turned it back on. I realised the battery info said the battery isn't charging and 'replace now'. Surprised, since I just got the battery this january.
- All of a sudden, the icon changed to white (it's black when not charging) and it was charging again.
- This kept happening, on and off.
- Unplugging the charger results in shutting of immediately or within a few seconds. At this moment, it's charging (at 97%). But it can change any minute.
- I tried moving my laptop around a bit, tilting it up and down, but that doesn't seem to do anything (neither good or bad).
I looked on the internet for a few solutions:
- Resetting PRAM: no differene
- Resetting SMC: no difference
- Reinstalling Yosemite completely (do you recommend this? In any specific order?)
Does anyone know what is best to try? I can also open up my laptop again and check the battery, but I doubt that's the problem. Btw, third party apps like battery diag/battery health/coconut battery all make no mention of the battery needing to be replaced.
Any help is greatly appreciated. I'm emigrating to Serbia next week, so I hope to fix it before then
I included an Etrecheck report:
