Formsweb.cfg - background resets following form navigation

I'm running Forms 10g Release 2 on Windows.
I have set up background in the formsweb.cfg file to use a lightgray.gif file. When I open my application the background is light gray as expected however as soon as I navigate away from the first form the background changes to the default dark gray and stays that colour. I'm using jinitiator and seperateFrame=false
Any ideas what's going on ?

Try clearing the browser cache, or force a read every time.

thank for all.

Do you have some hardware in place that is blocking the download? Jinit will download automatically. I have never had a problem with the default setup when testing the test form. The .htm files are all configured out of the box. My settings in formsweb.cfg are as follows:

How can read/write FORMSWEB.CFG & DEFAULT.ENV file entries programatically?

Environment: Forms 9i (Web)
As : Oracle 9i As
How can read/write FORMSWEB.CFG & DEFAULT.ENV file entries programatically?

I guess you cannot. There is an enhancement request to get the name of the config-section as a GET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY.
What you could do is add extra parameter(s) to your form and pass the necessary formsweb.cfg parameters in this form parameter. See Get formsweb.cfg section name in Forms for more info and an example.

Only display first form URL in formsweb.cfg . mutiple URL does not work

Hi Friends,
I have 4 form application with 4 URL.

URL like as:

However it only display first srmenu form interface that i put in( 4 different URL. only display first URL)
It seems that one formsweb.cfg, it doesn not support multip form setting application.
I have 4 small forms application with 4 URL for one formsweb.cfg.
What should I need to do? I think that i miss some set up in configuration.
I am waiting for your help!

How to set image source path in formsweb.cfg file in forms 11g

Hi,
I had written HTML code in the formsweb.cfg file in forms 11g. In the below code i am unable to retrive image file(i.e., .gif, .jpeg) from the server or local machine.
In the below HTML code i set image source in the image tag as below:
<img src="E:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_FRHome1\tools\web\html\agilis-life-new11_04.GIF"
Is this correct path to fetch the images from the server or local machine .
Please help me out how to set path for image in html or is there any alternate process to retrive images.

AFAIK, this is not the correct way to set the image location.
We call the working directory as context, so inside the context root along with WEB-INF, maintain a folder with name img and put all the images in that directory.
You can use either .\<image_folder> or the optimum way would be (if you are using JSPs) to use getContext() method and traverse accordingly.
FYI,,, using getContext() will give you context root directory, from there it is as simple as accessing any other folder.
Hope this answers your question.
Cheers,
Jeets.

Hi. About the Forms configuration formsweb.cfg file. Can someone help me ?

I have migrated 6i to 10g and need to start the application in new window. I have setup formsweb.cfg, in lookandfeel=Genric and separateframe=true. When i go to the start url, it opens new window but doesnt close the parent window. How can I close the first window?
Thanks

You can't. As soon as you close this window, the forms-session will also close. What you could do is to move the window to some position outside the screen using java-script.

How to Alias of formsweb.cfg file from Forms runtime

Hi Guru
I m using Forms10g Developer. To run the forms we use an Alias in the configaration file formsweb.cfg. Can I get this alias name programmatically from the forms runtime? If it its possible then please tell me How?
Thanks in advance.
Mokarem

I afraid. I think it can't be possible as far as form built in's are concerned.
Because whenn you launch your form form in your browser, then at that stage only you specify the alias.
or what you can do, search for the alias name in formsweb.cfg during form runtime.
You have do do some pl/sql coding for that :)
1) Call your formsweb.cfg from application server using webutil.transferhost_to_client.
2) serach for the string (use text_io package,read and search in the file.)
Hope this will help !!

How to add html image tag in formsweb.cfg file

Dear all,
I am trying to display one image in background(not on form) by using HTMLbeforeform attribute in formsweb.cfg.
from local machine that image is displaying..from other machine which is network I can able to access the forms first page but that image is not displaying..
Where i need to keep the image? Is there any shared folder to keep images?
The following code can give a clear idea...
# HTML page title
pageTitle=My Forms Server
# HTML attributes for the BODY tag
HTMLbodyAttrs=
# HTML to add before the form
HTMLbeforeForm=<img src='G:\images\logo.jpg' align=left height=150 width=150>--wich loc i need to place the img
# HTML to add after the form
HTMLafterForm=<MARQUEE><font color=blue><b><I>HAVE A NICE DAY!</MARQUEE>

The image-tag has to point to an url at the application-server which is accessible from the client's browser. So, if your forms-url is something like
http://host:port/forms/frmservlet?config=xxxThe image-url should be something like
HTMLbeforeForm=<img src='/path/logo.jpg' align=left height=150 width=150>where path is a virtual directory on the application server. Either create such a virtual directory or use an existing one, like /forms/java, which points to $ORACLE_HOME/forms/java on the server.
You can test that by puttin the url "by hand" in the browser like
http://host:port/forms/java/logo.jpg

9i default TNS/DB in formsweb.cfg

I can't seem to make any use of "userid" work on the iAS middletier.
It's as if I can't override the basic userid setting: I can't do it in a named config and I can't do it if I put it in the URL. No matter what I do I'm forced to enter username, password and database. It's as if the use of userid just gets ignored. I can easily change userid when I run forms directly from 9iDS, it's just on the iAS it doesn't work.
Basically I need to be able to specify a 9i equivalent of putting "set LOCAL=MY_DB.WORLD" in a .bat file in the 6i fat client mode, ie. specify only the default database to be used so that the users don't have to enter that explicitly at logon. However, I can't find any documentation how this is done - all examples just say "userid=user/pass@<your_db>".
So I also need some sort of documentation that lists ALL possible commands in the formsweb.cfg, but I've been unable to find the complete reference guide for that.

Jesper,
all parameters that are understood by the formsweb.cfg file are listed un the System and user section. In Oracle10g Forms we also added comments to describe their individual meanings.
1. create a named configuration for your application and add
# assuming orcl is your database tnsnames name)
userid=@orcl
2. In your Forms application, using an on-logon trigger
BEGIN
LOGON_SCREEN;
message(get_application_property(username||'@'||get_application_property(connect_string));
LOGON(get_application_property(username ||'@'||get_application_property(connect_string),get_application_property(password),true);
END;
If you want to also specify teh username so that he only needs to enter the password, you can pass userid=scott@orcl in the URL
Note that Oracle9iDS had a bug on Windows2000 that prevented the servlet from reading URL parameters. This problem is solved within Patch1.

Cannot save formsweb.cfg

Hi All,
I am using Enterprise Manager with Oracle Application Server (Forms and Reports services), and cannot save changes to the formsweb.cfg file.
When I make changes to the file, and click Apply, the settings return to their original values. This is what I would expect with the Revert button.
I can make changes to the file manually (with notepad), and the server itself sees these changes, but Enterprise Manager still shows the original settings.
I initially thought this was a cache problem, and re-booted the host. Only then would Enterprise Manager see the manual changes, but it still refuses to make changes itself, or to see subsequent manual changes.
Does anybody have any ideas??
Thanks
Gavin
