Forms9i: FORMS PATH for locating libraries

Hello,
I'm just beginning to deploy Forms9i in a standalone development workstation (there's only Developer Suite installed there).
I don't seem to be able to correctly specify the FORMS PATH for the libraries, that is, I keep receiving the message ORA-06508 (CANNOT FIND PROGRAM UNIT).
I set the FORMS90_PATH variable in DEFAULT.ENV to the directory where the PLLs are... Well, that's another thing, I didn't compile the libraries to PLX, I left them as PLLs? Would that be a problem?
I would appreciate any help you could give me.
Thanks,
--oswaldo.

You can use PLLs thats ok. I would first of all make sure that the default.env file is being picked up . If you download filemon from www.sysinternals.com you can track what files are being opened.
You should also check that the Forms90_Path is not more that 255 chars (if it is it gets ignored - its a Windows problem).

HT203167 the path for several of my songs that i can't locate is wrong because the path uses forward slashes instead of back slashes. Can I change this?

several of my songs in itunes gives me the can't locate ! sign. in going to the info for each of those songs i noticed the path to locate the file was in proper format except for the slash marks which were / instead of \ . how can i change the slash makrs in the paths for those songs?

thanks for the info. if itunes is applying the wrong path i.e. - forward slashes in path instead of backward slash how will i ever access those songs I've purchased. it won't let me download them again because it thinks they are on my computer?

No oci jdbc11 in java.librar.path for SQL Developer 2.1 EAI

Just migrated my connections from 1.5.5 and tested.
I have the one with the JDK built-in.
I browsed to it and it comes up.
However when I access a connection I get the below:
no oci jdbc11 in java.librar.path for SQL Developer 2.1 EAI

I got it to work using a BASIC call instead of my normal TNS call.
We use MS SMS to package the Oracle client and SQL Developer and push it out to users so we don't have people visiting desktops. Also, we use OID to store the entries instead of a tnsnames file so that we don't have to maintain a TNSNAMES file.
I am testing 2.1 as we would eventually upgrade when it goes GA.
2.1 seems to be built on Oracle 11g. Issue will be that since 99% of our databases are 10gr2 as well as 100% of our client population will be be forced to upgrade the Oracle client to use 2.1 as we do today without lots of changes for the end user?
We don't broadcast the information the average user requires for a BASIC connection so that is out for non technical users..
We have SQL Developer 1.5.5 right now and this is not and issue.
Hopefully, this will be resolved during EAI for 2.1.

Forms Migration Assistant - Forms Path?

Hi,
I'm hoping somebody can help me. I'm attempting to use the Forms Migration Assistant and I'm having problems getting it to recognise attached libraries etc. Is there some sort of path that I can set to tell it where to look? I'm using 10gR2 developer suite and I'm using the assistant in wizard mode. I have tried setting the forms path in the registry and in the default.env file but this doesn't seem to make any difference. The only time I have had this working is if I modify the shortcut to the assistant to "Start in" the same folder as all of the libraries and forms which is less than ideal for our situation.
Thanks in advance.

For anybody else that comes across this problem. Apparently, the regular forms_path should be picked up by the migration assistant however there is a bug with the GUI version of the tool that prevents this from happening. If you use the command line version then apparently the tool works fine.
However, if like me you intend to use the GUI version you can manually edit the frmplsqlconv.bat file to include your forms_path. There is a metalink note about this, the doc id is 454053.1

Not sure if this helps at all. I just went through a nightmare trying to get 11g forms/reports to work through the forms builder.
What I discovered with that is that I indeed had to set the REPORTS_PATH in rwserver.conf... however there were 3 different files that I ended up having to put it in (not sure if had to be in all 3). And perhaps more importantly, there seems to be an order to how you put these xml statements in the rwserver.conf files.
In my case, it wouldn't work at all until I put it right after the last "<engine id=" statement.
Mine looks something like this (not that this is a snippet of the file in Windows, for running via Forms/Reports Builder):
<engine id="rwURLEng" class="oracle.reports.urlengine.URLEngineImpl" maxEngine="1" minEngine="0" engLife="50"/>
<environment id="default">
     <envVariable value="C:\Oracle\WLS11gR1U4\user_projects\domains\AISworkstation\" name="REPORTS_PATH"/>
     <envVariable value="AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1" name="NLS_LANG"/>
     <envVariable value="RRRR-MM-DD" name="NLS_DATE_FORMAT"/>
</environment>
<environment id="windev_xxxxxxxx">
<envVariable name="REPORTS_PATH"
value="M:\ADS\Dvlprs\xxxxxxx\11g\FormsApps\stage;M:\ADS\Dvlprs\xxxxxxx\11g\FormsApps"/>
</environment>
I'm still figuring this all out too (although I did get it working how I need.. just not sure if it is the optimal solution), so I'm not sure how much this will help you. But for sure I can say that there is an order to these XML tags that I'm not so sure was the same (or maybe not enforced) in 10g.
Good luck

Path for database

Hi,
I have an old program, written in LabVIEW 5.1 that uses databases. The database in located in the harddrive on the computer. Now, I would like to move the database to the network. Where do I change the directory path for the database?? I ahve tried to configure the ODBC Data Source Administartor, but I can't seem to get it work. (I have done some changes that onlyu made it worse, by now I can't access the database at all.)
Anyone having any ideas?
Thank you, Regards

I think the problem
Frida is running into is that the Database Connectivity Toolkit wasn't
around for 5.1 (it released with 6.0). So the only thing we had
back then was the SQL Toolkit. It used third party ODBC drivers
from DataDirect (they've changed names at least two times since LV
5.1). UDL files are not an option because that old toolkit used a
CIN to communicate directly to that one specific ODBC driver.
Since I've not used that toolkit nor those drivers for over 5
years, I'm not entirely sure you can change the location of the file in
the ODBC Administrator. I'm also not sure that updating the
DataDirect drivers would help because I don't think that old toolkit
has been tested with any new drivers. I'm going to have to defer
to others on this list who might be using the old SQL Toolkit and LV
5.1.
The SQL Toolkit Connect
function has if I remember correctly a string input for connection
parameters. It is this connection parameters string that can be used to
pass additional parameters to the ODBC manager. The ODBC manager will
retrieve possible information intended for its own use, such as the DSN
or Driver keyword that can be used to define the Data Source Name or
directly a Driver that should be opened and passes the rest to the
driver itself for further investigation. This is for instance used for
PWD and UID for password and user login to the driver. Other parameters
are obviously driver dependant but MS Access for instance supports (and
in the case of a direct driver specification to the ODBC manager
requires) a DBQ parameter in the form of DBQ="<path to your database
file>".
I'm pretty sure ADO's Connection.Open method supports the same or
similar additional connection parameters in its connection string.

hi there,
had the same problem... you need to use following API:
http://java.sun.com/j2ee/sdk_1.3/techdocs/api/javax/servlet/ServletContext.html#getRealPath(java.lang.String)
In your case something like that:
// get the servlet context
ServletContext context = getServletContext();
// directory name where the file is located
String realPath = context.getRealPath("/config");
// get real path to your file
String propertyPath = real+"filename.txt";
hope that helps!!

Inventory Report-Replacement path for Base UOM to Case and Standrad Cost

Hi, We have a Scenario as below:
Question1:
We have a multiprovider contains 4 infocubes and 2 Master Data objects
a.Demand
b.Inventory
c.Sales Orders
d.In Transit
Master Data objects
a. Material (contains Base UOM to Case as Key Figure Attribute and also Base UOM as an attribute)
b. Material Location (Contains material as an attribute and also Standard Cost as a Key Figure attribute)
At the report level two formula variables are defined with replacement path for showing the Base UOM to Case and Standard Cost in columns.
We have 4 reports on this multiprovider. There is a dialy sales report which gives the following details
Material, Location, MRP Controller, CalDay, Base UOM, Actual Sales(AS), Dependent Demand(DD), Consumption Qyt(CQ), Base to Case UOM, Standard Cost
In this report for all the records the Base to UOM and Standard Cost column is coming with values which is nothing but the replacement path on the material master key figure attribute. Though this report is on the multiprovider all the major keyfigures (AS, DD and CQ) are coming from a single cube( this is an observation from myside).
We have another report which is the Inventory Report with the following details:
Material, Location, MRP Controllder, Calday, Base UOM, Unrestricted Inventory(UI), committed Inventory(CI), Back Order Qty(BOQ), In Transit by Sh/Rec(ITS), In Transit Pipeline(ITP), On Order Qty (OOQ), Current Inventory Position (CIP), Quality Inspection Stock(QIS), Block Stock(BS), Base to Case UOM, Standard Cost
Now in this report for all the records the Base to Case UOM and standrad cost is not showing up. Is there anything which needs to be done in order to get the Base to Case UOM and standard cost for all the records.
Question2:
When Non-Cumulative and Cumulative key figures are combined at the multi provider and also at the report level, will there be any problem?

Logical path for getting a Flat file from application server

Hi All,
We have loaded some .csv files to application server, what is the logical path we have to mention in the infopackage scheduler screen? please guide me how to give the path for getting a flat file from application server.
Thanks,
Sairam.

Hi Sairam,
I hope you know which location you have saved in the Application server.
Now if you go to the Infopackage and click on the "External Data" tab, there you will see Radio Buttons for
1) Client Workstation
2) Application Server
Choose the second radio button, then in the Field "Name of the File" you will be able to use the F4 help and browse AL11 transaction through this option. You can then choose the File.
Hope this helps

Praveen.

How do I set the default file path for the Place command?

I keep my graphics files for each document in a particular folder. Every time I open an existing InDesign document and place a new image I have to browse back to that location - even though all of the previous images in that document came from the same folder. InDesign does not remember the file path that was used previously in the document. This is very annoying.
IS THERE A WAY TO SET THE DEFAULT FILE PATH, OR LOCATION, FOR IMAGE FILES?
I have looked through the preferences, searched the forums and internet, but I have not found any reference to setting default paths. Is there a setting like the one in MS Word called "File Locations" on the Options toolbox?
Thank you.

Since you're working in ID on Windows, you can take advantage of a neat trick in Windows. Copy the file path out of the File Explorer address bar and paste it directly into the Place filename field. That will jump you directly to the desired volume. For example, let's say I want to place a graphic located at X:\PS Jobs\May PS\709672bp\Working Source Files\Links. I copy that entire path from the File Explorer address bar, go to InDesign, select File|Place, and press Control + V to paste that path into the filename field. I press the Open button and Shazam! I'm there instantly, without a bunch of navigation.
You can do the same thing in the File|Save As and File|Export fields. Let's say you want export a PDF file from InDesign to the volume X:\PS Jobs\May PS\709672bp\Working PDF Files. First copy the desired file path from the File Explorer window. In InDesign, select File|Export, click anywhere in the filename field, and press the Home key to move the insertion point to the front of the filename. Press Control + V to paste that path in front of the filename, then add the backslash character (\). The filename will now look like this: X:\PS Jobs\May PS\709672bp\Working PDF Files\Filename.pdf. Press the Save button to bring up the Export Adobe PDF window. Select your desired PDF preset, press the Export button, and the PDF file will magically appear in the desired volume.
This sounds really complicated, but it's not. In practice, it only takes a few seconds. I probably save an hour's worth of needless navigation every day with this technique.

Help with Form F110_US_DTA for ACH file to be sent to bank

Hi ppl,
I'm implementing new house bank in the system for ACH payments
the NACHA file format for that bank is given to me.
the bank's needs a variation in the format.
they want effective entry date in the Batch Header Record 5, Pos 70-75 to be greater than the Creation Date located in the File Header Record 1
Im using the form F110_US_DTA for the file that is to be generated to sent to bank
How Do I make changes to this form to satisfy the requirement
Or basically where do I change the format of forms like F110_US_DTA etc..
What is T-code for that...
Thank You Very much
your help will be appreciated
Also tell me how can I assign you points..

An ACH NACHA file has the following components..
File Header Record(1)
This gain has many fileds like Record type code, priority code, immediate destination etc
Batch header Record(5)
Record type code, company Identification
Entry Detail Record(6)
Transactioncode, Check digit etc
Addenda Record(7)
Record Type Code...etc
Batch Control Record(8)
File Control Record(9)
Batch Count, block count etc...
Now This is the Layout which the company wants to implement
The commpany is already using an ACH file for an old bank.
But wants to implement a New Bank with a lil variation of old NACHA format
In SAP where can I set these fields or parameters.....
for some programs I can goto System->Status and double click on program and goto ABAP editor and change fields.
But for this ACH where can go and set the parameters according to requirements
There is actually one more requirement...
In the ACH file The New banks wants the
File Creation Date (It is entry in field no 5 of File Header Record(1) of ACH file)
this date should be less than Effective Entry DAte (It is an entry in Field no 9 in Batch Header Record(5))

Invalid Path for target file, check if connector is deployed correctly

Hi all,
I've got a tricky problem over here: we are using OMB scripts for generating simple extract mappings that just copy data from an oracle source table to a flat file on a directory. Up untill now ( with version 11.1 ) this did not pose any troubles, but now we are using 11.2 for the first time and we don't get the mappings to execute. Generating, validating and deploying all works fine, only executing fails with the error: "Invalid Path for target file, check if connector is deployed correctly". It ends to rapidly, so I'm assuming the problem lies in the repository and not on the database itself.
I'm pretty sure all locations are defined as needed, flat file operator in the mapping has correct location, the flat file module has the same location,...
I tried almost everything: recreate oracle module, recreate flat file module, unregister and recreate db location, unregister and recreate dir location, recreate mapping and flat file, export/import...
The strange thing is, I was able to execute a mapping once. Although it ended with an error (due to a function in the mapping), it created the file correctly. After that I needed to update the directory path of the target location and from then on, I always got the error above, and I don't see a good reason.
Any suggestions??
Tnx,
Michel

That error is displayed when the generated code fails to execute with one of the following database errors;
UTL_FILE.INVALID_PATH
UTL_FILE.INVALID_OPERATION
UTL_FILE.INVALID_FILEHANDLE
So its worth checking the generated code for that map and searching for the code around UTL_FILE.FOPEN and seeing what the path and the file name in the code are. Maybe the file is created with permissions such that it can be created but not then re-written and its an OS permissions thing (such as UMASK settings).
Cheers

2 CF servers,but different remote object path for flash

I have 2 CF servers,but different remote object path for flex in each server.
Eg for one flex program in my dev server I define the remote object as follows
<mx:RemoteObject id="myService" destination="ColdFusion" source="cfide.flex.path_to_file" showBusyCursor="true">
But in my live sevrver I have to do this.
<mx:RemoteObject id="myService" destination="ColdFusion" source="path_to_file" showBusyCursor="true">
How can I make both the same?

Thanks mate,
I tried <use-mappings>true</use-mappings> and restarted the server but its still not working
I think this is the spoiler:
ColdFusion mappings apply only to pages processed by the ColdFusion Server with the cfinclude and cfmodule tags. If you save CFML pages outside of the Web root (or whatever directory is mapped to "/"), you must add a mapping to the location of those files on your server.
from
http://www.adobe.com/livedocs/coldfusion/5.0/Installing_and_Configuring_ColdFusion_Server/ basiconfig9.htm
so that ruins it for flex I guess?

Sun ONE Studio 4 aka Forte: How to set the output path for classes ?

Help !
Beginner's question:
Sun ONE Studio 4 aka Forte:
How to set the output path for classes ?
As default, the class files are created in the same directory as the
sources.
In opposite, both JBuilder and Together support that there is a tree
with the sources and another tree with the classes.
The first answer I got was "not possible with Forte, but just if you write your own "ANT Build script" !
a) Please point me to a ready-to-use ANT script for this purpose, if such is available
b) Is using ANT instead of the MAKE as comfortable ? Besides the separation of sourcecode and classes, I would like to keep everything else to be the same, i.e. I don�t want to edit the ANT file if I enlarge the project by directories or files.
Tia
Sincerely
Rolf

You can set S1S's options to place newly created .class files in a specific location.
Identify the compiler that is being used - Open the S1S's Tools/Options window, expand Editing and select Java Sources. Note the Default Compiler value. (If it's one if the Ant options, you use Ant to specify this option, not S1S.)
Open the S1S's Tools/Options window, expand Building/Compiler Types and select the appropriate compiler.
The Properties tab of the compiler has the property Target, which sets the filesystem where the compiler output is directed. If you choose <not set>, the .class files are written to their source directory.
When you set the Target, your change affects all classes that use this compiler.
Very few options can't be set in S1S; the challenge is finding out where they're set!

Support for multiple libraries...?

Hi, I have a question as how is the best way to manage y music libraries given my usage scenario.
First let me set the context of what I have. I have over 35GB of ripped music, that resides in an external drive. Currently this music is available through my iTunes application, but it is NOT part of my lybrary (meaning I imported but did NOT copy it into the library). I do NOT want to have 35GB of music in my notebook's HD.
My iTunes library is in my local HD (music folder). This is a small file that basically has the 'podcasts' and the 'artwork'.
What do I want? I would love to keep all my music and videos on the external drive, and have my podcasts in my local HD. This way when I am on the road, I can update the podcasts, without having to carry with me all my music.
This all works fine the way I have it now, except that every time I rip a new CD or buy music from the iTunes Store, they go to my local HD and not my external drive.
Any ideas on how to work this out? I would love support for multiple libraries, but I don't thnks it's possible as far as I looked into it.
Thanks SO much!

This all works fine the way I have it now, except that every time I rip a new CD or buy music from the iTunes Store, they go to my local HD and not my external drive.
Set the 'iTunes Music folder location' (Preferences>Advanced>General) to the music folder on your external.
The next time you rip a CD or purchase music, it will be stored there.
Note: the 'iTunes Music folder location' is not the folder where your music is, but the location where iTunes stores imported music (and added music when 'Copy files to.....' is checked)
If you ran iTunes once with your external drive not attached/mounted, this location is reset to the internal drive.
iTunes 7 has support for multiple libraries. Press and hold the Option-key on launching iTunes until a window pops up which asks you to choose a library or create a new one.
Libra and iTunes Library Manager both work with iTunes 7 and older versions. They also save the preferences for every library you created.
Hope this helps.
