FRM 40010 after using Ole container

Hi,
I am using an OLE container item to store different file types on Oracle 9 DB using Forms 6.0.8.27.0 .
Whenever I save a document using the ole container, exit the form, I cannot run any other form from my application. I get FRM-40010 :'Cannot read form XXX'
If I restart the application everything works fine until I use the ole container again to save a file. Then I get the same error.
It seems that the ole container changes the working directory.
Forms60_Path is set correctly.
Inserting a file from the correct working directory and deleting it (just to let the ole container changes the working directory to the one I want) is not a practical solution.
Thanks in advance for any hints,
Marco.

David,
not sure if this is a bug, because if you don't specify the '.rep' then, because of the search order used, the rep file is used anyway if available in the Reports_Path. One thing that could happen though is that your application now picks up an rdf file (maybe in the Reports60 directory) because the rep file is read later. Please check how many occurences of teh report file you have.
Repeatingly calling run_product will issue the same job to the Reports runtime over and over. The Reports runtime is not able to handle multiple jobs in parallel, one at a time. This means that if the Reports runtime is busy the Reports execution has to wait if not crahsing. The rdf file - if used - wins soem time in that it gets compiled on te fly before getting executed.
Frank
Ps.: Will not deny the chance of a bug, but Forms60 is desupported and you won't get a fix for i

Problem in Using OLE Container

Sir I have development an ActiveX in VB for urdu in oracle forms.
The problems I am facing is that it is storing the input efficiently but
when I Query the saved data it is not working,
I got an Error that OLE Object not defined for the current record.
It create the OLE object for a new record and take input & save it
But as I assign the retrieved Data in Post Query, it give error object not
defined.
At the same time it display out when assign with when button pressed.
the code that is working is for saving in the database is at save button (when
button pressed)

Hi,
- I am using Oracle Forms [32 bit] Versión 5.0.6.23.1 and Oracle 8i Enterprise Edition Release 8.1.7.0.0 as database.
- The process can be reproduced in a stand alone form. You need to access a table with a RAW column in which the file is stored and put that column in an OLE Container.
- It works with filetypes .xls, .doc, .pdf but (sometimes, not always) not with filetype .TIF (with an MS Imaging program associated).
- I have 2 errors:
- "No se puede encontrar el archivo 'C:\DOCUME~1\CAPEST~1\CONFIG~1\Temp\PKGnnn.TIF' (o uno de sus componentes). Asegúrese de que la ruta y el nombre de archivo son correctos y de que todas las bibliotecas está disponibles." This would be something like "The file 'C:\DOCUME~1\CAPEST~1\CONFIG~1\Temp\PKGnnn.TIF' (or one of its components) can be found. Be sure that the path and the filename are corrects and all the libraries are ready".
- "No se puede abrir el archivo 'C:\DOCUME~1\CAPEST~1\CONFIG~1\Temp\PKGnnn.TIF'. Compruebe el nombre de archivo y los permisos." ("The file 'C:\DOCUME~1\CAPEST~1\CONFIG~1\Temp\PKGnnn.TIF' can´t be open. Check the filename and the grants."
I hope this help.

Retriving a blob after it was loaded by OLE container in forms 6i

We had forms6i application which has loaded documents into a blob column in the database using OLE container. We are able to retrive the blob from the OLE container on the forms6i, However when we are trying to retrive the same blob using PL/sql into the OS level file , we are unable to open the file as it not able to de-serialize the blob loaded into the database by an OLE container on the forms 6i
we have loaded around 5000 documents in the database using forms 6i application.
These were loaded during normal application usage and added mannually by invoking the forms application and then saving.
Our requirement is now to retrive these documents all at once using automated scripts. if Blob data is inserted using forms 6i OLE container then is there any automated exteneded procedures to retrive those blobs using PL SQL script or any other method.
my Forms version:Forms 6.0.8.25
My Databae : Oracle database 10.2.0.4
Thanks in advance.

When you click a C/S OLE object, it is opened with its default application's owner, no ?
So if the OLE object is opened by Excel, the extension is .xls.
In any case you have to open the OLE object with its "mother" application if you want to save it as a file, so there is no problem at all to decide with extension to use.
If you read this article : http://sheikyerbouti.developpez.com/webutil-docs/Webutil_store_edit_docs.htm you can see that the filename is automatically opened with the corresponding application.

How can I read a blob created with ole container in forms 6i in forms 10g

In forms 6i I used ole container to save a document (excel, pdf, word...) into a blob column.
I want to migrate my application in forms 10g and I read that I have to use webutil_File_transfer.db_to_client and after webutil_host.blocking to see the document.
In the same blob column I can have multiple type of document. How Can I know wich application to use to open the document ?
Even if I know the extension of my document I'm enabled to open the file ???

Making use of 'obsolete' OLE container in Forms10g

I have a column in a database table of type LONG RAW . This column was represented as an OLE Container - which in 10g is obsolete - in a form (Forms 6i). Trying to compile this form to Forms10g , I receive an error FRM-30454.
Is it possible to retain the form as it is , by simply change a property , ....
Anyway , What are the possible solutions for this kind of problem?
Thanks , Simon

What is the role of 'Importing OLE Library Interfaces' which is a menu selection found on Forms Builder menu->Program->Import OLE Library Interfaces?
How is there the capability to import for example 'Word.Document' OLE classes as OLE containers are obsolete?
Is there an example on how to use them...?
I didn't find anything -only directions on how to import- in the on-line help of Forms 10g!!!
Thanks ,

Using RealPlayer control in OLE container to play video

Hi everyone,
I am a student and I want to use Oracle OLE control in Oracle forms to implement some multimedia data. I choose RealPlayer G2 control / Window media Player / even Oracle Video Control to do this. But I have one common problem that I can't insert those control object in the OLE container automatically(in the designer).
How can I have the multimedia control object start when forms runtime?
Also, how can I store and retrieve data using that multimedia control object?
Anyone can help me?
Thx.
Carol

Hello,
I have a similar problem. I want to extract a blob filed with ole from forms with other tools to a file, but the new file then has extra informations about the ole-object. Due to MetaLink there seems to be no possibility to strip these extra bytes off the data.
Please let me know if you have a solution to this problem.
Greetings,
Thorsten.

FRM-40010 - Cannot read form when using Call_form on Unix 9iAS

Hi,
I'm using 9iAS on a unix server. However, the main form calls several other forms using CALL_FORM('formnam'); but it cannot read any of the forms. I've ensured that they have all been compiled on the server. They compiled successfully.
I've also ensured that they are all residing in the FORMS60_PATH. Although it can find the main form OK, it cannot read any of the other forms. They are all located in the same directory.
What can be causing this error?

Make sure that formname is the name of the .fmx file and that you use the same case as it is in the file system, because UNIX is case-sensitive.
How are you setting FORMS60_PATH? If you're using the Forms Listener Servlet and are setting the FORMS60_PATH in default.env, be sure that the variable name is spelled correctly. In the early versions of default.env that came out, there was a typo: FORSM60_PATH. So if people didn't notice this and just uncommented the line and set the path, they would get FRM-40010.

Using an OLE container to store MS word files

Attention!!-don't use OLE object in Reports

If you are planning to use or is currently using OLE objects in Reports-please don't use it as the object maynot reload in future and your report may not even open in Report Builder.I got this message when opening the report containing OLE object:
REP-4004: Error occurred while restoring OLE object
and it refused to open up crashing my days of work.
The pity is I can't open my report even to remove the OLE object.

I know that is weird.I placed the object in the same directory-but in vain.Afterall, what's the logic of putting it in the same directory after embedding it?

6i to 9i conversion OLE container stored in a LONG RAW column to BLOB

I need to automate the migration of data stored in a long raw column to a blob column. The objects were stored in the long raw column using an Oracle Forms 6i OLE container. There is also multiple object types stored in the column, ie (word, excel, images, but mostly pdf's). I have looked at the webutil package but cannot figure out how to read the long raw column since ole containers are obsolete in 9i. I have a lot of records that need migrating and need help.

It doesn't appear that I am able to attach the PDF files. Can you supply your email (or I can supply mine) so I can send you the three files:
1.) A good PDF (manually extracted from our old application)
2.) Dump of the same PDF file (includes header/footer info)
3.) A partially fixed PDF file (but some of the pictures / pages are cut off - specifically pages 3,5,9,10,12,14)
The way that we have tried to fix the file (in example 3 above) is the following:
a.) Find the First Occurrence of "%PDF-"
b.) Find the Last Occurrence of "%%EOF"
c.) if the first "%PDF-" is found AND the last "%%EOF" is found, then
i.) Remove all data before the first %PDF-
ii.) Remove all data after the last %%EOF
Let me know if you need any other information.
Thanks,
Mike

Forms 6i : Ole Container : Locking problem

We have a form in which user can attach all sorts of documents that are then saved in the database.
Once in a while we have a locking problem; when 2 users try to open the same document, the second one first gets a 'Could not reserve record (2 tries). Keep trying?'. When clicking 'No', the next error message is 'Frm-40501 : unable to reserve record for update or delete', and the form cannot be used anymore. He keeps complaining about the reserved record.
I've been looking into this problem but cannot seem to find a lot of help.
Does anyone have an idea how to solve this locking problem?
I have tried the following things:
* setting the block to locking mode 'Delayed' => we ended up having duplicate records.
* Changing properties of the ole-container (In Place Activation, Inside Out support, ...).
Forms version is 6.0.8.13.0, database 8.0.6.0.0.
Any help is appreciated.

that seems to be a normal locking problem. Do you have tried to work with an ON-LOCK trigger ? (e.g. first to see, when locking will occur, second for implementing an own locking-behaviour, maybe with a SELECT for UPDATE)
Or do you think, that there is something special with your OLE-programming ?

Problems with OLE Container in QUERY

Hi all,
I have problem with OLE Container when I am trying to retrieve data from the database. Inserting is no problem and commit is done. I am doing it with
initialize_container('block.ole_object','C:\test.doc');
I have only one column of BLOB type and it is last in the block as it was suggested somewhere on the forum.
When I am trying to retrieve the already inserted data I get error with the following
Description:
FRM-40505: Oracle ERROR: unable to perform query and CTRL+F1 says the following:
ORA-00932: inconsistent data types: expected got
The forms and the database are as follow:
Forms [32 Bit] Version 6.0.8.24.1 (Production)
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.1.0.4.2 - Production
I need immediate help!!!

This may be related to the 10g database, I'm not sure as there is no way for me to test it. I know that it works with a 9i database.
One thing to check is to make sure that you don't have the FORMS60_DISABLE_DESCRIBE set to 1 within the Oracle registry.
If this doesn't work, your only option might be to use a LONG RAW instead of a BLOB column type in the database.

Multi Page Doc in OLE Container

I have a multipage Word Document in an OLE container and I want to be able to scroll through the pages without activating the container by pressing buttons for the next, previous, first and last pages along with knowing that I am on say page 5 of 25 pages. Has anyone ever done that and have and example?

You could let this piece of code run over all pages:
doc1 = app.documents[0];
doc2 = app.documents[1];
doc1.pages[0].pageItems.everyItem().select(SelectionOptions.ADD_TO);
app.copy ();
app.activeDocument = doc2;
app.pasteInPlace ();
-- this will do what you asked, but will it do what you intended?
You cannot select objects across spreads. (The other day someone suggested using an XML tagged file, and apparently you can with that. I wouldn't know if it's applicable for your situation.)
So this code does what one can do manually: select all, copy, activate document 2, paste. However, as you will find out, threaded text frames will not thread anymore to the next.
It would be easier to duplicate each spread (not "page" -- it's not an option [**]) to your other document -- then you would not have to worry about the number of pages. It does add other responsibilies, though (styles, swatches, document size; all of these should match across the docs). [*]
An other option could be to place the document's pages as images into the other.
[* Post-Edit] That wouldn't preserve your text threads either, by the way.
[** Post-Edit #2] Well, whaddoyouknow? You can duplicate pages as well from one document to another, as long as you reference a page in the other doc:
doc1 = app.documents[0];
doc2 = app.documents[1];
doc1.pages[2].duplicate (LocationOptions.AFTER, doc2.pages[0]);
The oblique Help confused things a bit: you can duplicate a Spread to another document immediately (I didn't try that), but for a Page it sez "another page or Spread" -- without mentioning that that one can be in another doc.
