From Forms Product Management - Using WebStart with Forms

I noticed a number of posts on this forum asking if you can run Forms as an application (using WebStart) rather than an applet in a browser.
I would be interested to know the reasons why people want to do this. Is it so that there is no browser windows? Is it because it has more of a "desktop feel"...
I would be interested to hear any of your reasons.
Thanks in advance

I don't think you'll get too many replies. I expect most people here are either committed to using Web Forms already (and so don't need this functionality) or else are still in client-server mode (and so don't understand what you asking).
We are just in the process of migrating from Forms4.5 to 9i (I'm in the WebUtil beta) and we are still finding out all sorts of non-obvious things about web-deployment - don't get me started on how awful the whole GIF thing is! So I'm not really qualified to have an opinion about Webstart. I only have the vaguest idea what it does and I'm not sure I want to read up about it just so I can tell you whether to go ahead with it.
What I will say is this:
(1) Anything that makes 9i Forms more like a client-server experience for the users would be a good thing, bceause it would minimise the shock of transition.
(2) Choice is a good thing. Your recent experience of developers' spleen over the removal of client-server should tell you that people respond well to being given options and badly to having them removed.
(3) If I've correctly understood Haris Peco in their second point we could get rid of O9iAS and that would be flipping marvellous for everybody (except possibly the VP in charge of O9iAS Sales :P).

I purchased songs from 2 different computers using itunes with the same apple id. I had 1 iPod I used for these but I just recently got an iPhone and I was wondering why it wasn't letting me put my purchased songs on my iPhone?

I purchased songs from 2 different computers using itunes with the same apple id. I had 1 iPod I used for these but I just recently got an iPhone and I was wondering why it wasn't letting me put my purchased songs on my iPhone?

You can transfer iTunes content from an iTunes library on a single computer only.
Since these songs were purchased with the same iTunes account, you can download the song that is not in your iTunes library on the computer you will be syncing your iPhone with. Or you can download the song or songs direct on your iPhone.

I already have an iPhone with Verizon, my upgrade isn't until next June 2014. Can I buy the iPhone 5s from Apple and still use it with verizon?

I dropped my phone in some water and I don't have apple care. It's been about a week and I'd rather put the money into fixing my iPhone 4 to an iPhone 5s. But I'm not sure if I can just buy the phone from Apple and still use it with verizon. Can someone help?

Yes, Apple will sell you an iPhone you can use with Verizon.

From FrameMaker Product Management

We do look at the forum posts from time to time. More so during product planning phases. The inputs received on the forums is a valuable source of information for us.
We also try to have direct communication with experienced FrameMaker users. We are currently in the planning phase for the future versions of FrameMaker. We would really appreciate if FrameMaker users can take out some time to share their ideas and wishlist with us.
We would prefer to receive a prioritised list of 5 to 10 features (not more than 10). And also a short description for each feature. Based on your requests we might want to schedule a call and discuss your ideas. Some information about yourself and your organisation would help us see your requests in the correct perspective. You can post your list of prioritised features on this forum, or send it to me directly ([email protected]). I understand that many of you have posted multiple requests in the past. It would be helpful if you resend your prioritised wishlist.
Thank you for your continued support.

b Fix the ever-lovin' memory leak!
It's getting beyond tiresome to have to restart the program four or five times a day because "FrameMaker has experienced a serious problem and must quit"!!!!! There must be two hundred .recover. files hiding on my hard drives.
Move the spellcheck dialog out of the way (or, better, shift the text window) so we can see the suspected misspelling in context. Hiding the highlighted string with the dialog (even another one unconnected to the spellchecking task) is torture.
Some keyboard-driven means of getting into and out of the dialogs\toolbars. When using, e.g., the Paragraph Designer, it would be much easier to Shift+Tab back to the main doc window. Ctrl+M is great for getting _into_ it, but it's a mouse-driven world to get out. Being able to move among various toolbar/dialogs without going to the mouse would be very useful.
Drop Caps at the beginning of a 'graf. The current anchored frame method is tedious, and it just doesn't work very well for the material I deal with.
I have copied a few of Tim Murray's list here because I really like them, in addition to my own footnote and anchored frame requests (q.v. supra). I've flagged his suggestions: "¶", my comments have no flag.
¶ Allow forced-justify of the last line of a paragraph.
I've torn out so much hair trying to work around this (never successfully, btw)!
¶ Don't consider the space at the end of a line as a character when determining positioning.
This has always been a puzzle. I leave non-mandatory space at the end of each 'graf in case I want to add more text later or join two 'grafs. This "feature" often drives a new blank, line between 'grafs. Odd.
¶ If you type Alt+0039, you should get a straight single quote and 0034 should give you the straight double quote.
b Feet'n'inches, minutes'n'seconds are all straight quotes.
So it's "turn off smart quotes, enter character(s), turn smart quote back on" or the esc sequences. Dumb smart quotes would be very nice. It would even be nice if Ctl+z reversed the smartness, as it does in MS Word. I could handle two keystrokes for the job, but as it is, we waste a lot of time keeping things straight (so to speak).
¶ Wider fields and dialogs. The good news: A fellow named Klaus Daube has created a modified fmdlg.dll for Windows that has nice wide fields for the Resize Selected Column dialog box. You can download it at http://www.daube.ch/docu/fmaker20.html.
Thanks, Tim, this is great!!
Adobe should include this directly in the application. Does it also work (I'm not able to try it right now) for the next issue you raise:
¶ Show us the path. Some dialogs that show paths to files chop the path down to next to nothing. Show us the whole path, start to finish, and let it wrap when needed.
Oh, yeah!!! That's really old technology.
b The same thing goes for cross references.
It's often difficult to tell which of similar strings I am trying to catch when all I can see is forty characters.
¶ More keyboard support in dialog box lists; Shift+ and Ctrl+click. In the "Set Up Table of Contents" for example, pressing a letter should jump you to an item in the list. Some dialogs do, some to not. Further, you can't Shift+click or Ctrl+click either, and the up/down arrow keys don't work.
I, too, am a rodentophobe. Being left-handed may be a part of it, but having to use the mouse to do anything more complex than bringing up a designer just wastes too much time and effort. Keyboard short cuts (preferably that do not involve seven key strokes) are the best way to go.
¶ Do dialog tabs differently. Guess what you can't do? You can't change tabs by pressing Ctrl+Tab!
Once more, the mouse is vermin, and should be avoided any time possible.
¶ Quick outline view.
Again, this would make life so much easier.

Power unit from older MacBook Pro - using it with newer model

I once had a MacBook Pro, one of the early version, bought somewhere in August 2006. Now I have the power unit that is left from it. I want to use it with my current MacBook Pro which is newer model, but not the one which is currently sold - it is NOT the unibody model, it looks exactly like the previous model, but with better spec, and the notable difference is that on the previous model the green diode near camera had a single hole, and the newer model has lots of tiny miniholes there, which makes it completely invisible unless the diode is lit.
(unfortunately I have no idea how to identify those two models more correctly - model numbers or whatever)
When I compare the power units - the one which I have with my current model, and the one which is left from the previous, the newer is a bit smaller, and the power output markings are a bit differently organised, not totally identical, but they show what I understand is same voltage/amperage.
I'm still a bit cautious about using the power unit from the older model. Did anyone tried it, is it safe?

Next time you can use Mactracker to identify your machines exactly:
http://www.mactracker.ca/
Go to >About this Mac>More Info and you will see the Model Name and Model Identifier.
Good luck!

I don't think you'll get too many replies. I expect most people here are either committed to using Web Forms already (and so don't need this functionality) or else are still in client-server mode (and so don't understand what you asking).
We are just in the process of migrating from Forms4.5 to 9i (I'm in the WebUtil beta) and we are still finding out all sorts of non-obvious things about web-deployment - don't get me started on how awful the whole GIF thing is! So I'm not really qualified to have an opinion about Webstart. I only have the vaguest idea what it does and I'm not sure I want to read up about it just so I can tell you whether to go ahead with it.
What I will say is this:
(1) Anything that makes 9i Forms more like a client-server experience for the users would be a good thing, bceause it would minimise the shock of transition.
(2) Choice is a good thing. Your recent experience of developers' spleen over the removal of client-server should tell you that people respond well to being given options and badly to having them removed.

From Forms Product Management - Using Enterprise Manager

I have just posted a new viewlet which shows the Enterprise Manager features in 10g. If you have not used EM before its a great high level demo which shows you how yuo can manage your Forms applications from a console. For those already familiar with EM you will be able to check out some of the new work we have done in integrating Forms and EM.
If you go to http://otn.oracle.com/products/forms you can see the feature on the news list.

Can we downlod jar from WEB-INF/lib using webstart?

Hi,
Can we down jars which are in WEB-INF/lib directory
using jnlp (webstart)?

I got the basic concept of webstart.
I can download jar only if publicly accessible (It
should form a valid URL).Note an important distincion here..
1) It is possible to form valid URL's that
point to WEB-INF/lib.
2) The server should not allow access, to
that URL (any URL pointing inside WEB-INF/lib)
and should return instead the HTTP code that says
'not allowed/barred/forbidden'
There is a big difference between a[b] valid URL,
and a valid URL pointing to a forbidden resource.
But yes, you seem to understand correctly,
that the jar's for web-start cannot be loaded
back to the client, from this directory.
Thanks for your help.You're welcome.

Migrating from 10gR2 to 11gR2 using impdp with network_link fails

Hi,
I'm trying to migrate a database from 10gR2 (Novell SLES 10) to a new server (Novell SLES 11) with 11gR2. I created a database on the new system with all required users and tablespaces. Then I used impdp in 11g with a database link to the source database:
impdp system/pw@db NETWORK_LINK=X_SourceServer FULL=Y
This command fails immediately with ORA-39113: unable to determine database version. Even using the parameter VERSION=10.2.0 doesn't change the result.
The Oracle Upgrade Guide tells me that upgrading is possible from 10* to 11* and recommeds impdp and network link. Is the failure perhaps a bug in the NETWORK_LINK procedure? Should I better try expdp on the source and impdp on the target with a dumpfile as intermediate (the database ist rather big, so dealing with files across the network will take a lot of storage capacity)?
Has anyone tried this method with success?
Thanks
Friedhelm
Edited by: user8964905 on 02.09.2011 02:34

This is due to an bug. The workaround is in the DOC
IMPDP From 10g TO 11g Gives ORA-39113, ORA-4052 & ORA-6544 PL/SQL: internal error, arguments: [55916] (Doc ID 1062428.1)

A message from Oracle Product Management

New Recommended Bundle Patches 9822322(EM 11.1.0.1) and 9843796(EM 10.2.0.5) are available for download from My Oracle Support now. This patch primarily enhances the Patching functionality offered by Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control.
The 9843796(EM 10.2.0.5) patch is cumulative and is a superset of the previously released bundles #9405592, #9132461, #8992470, and #8653501 that were released previously, and therefore, includes all the features that were introduced as part of those Recommended Bundle Patches.
Make sure you apply the pre-requisite patch 9705138 before applying the new patch.
For more information, refer to:
Comprehensive Overview of Recommended Bundle Patch 9843796
Comprehensive Overview of Recommended Bundle Patch 9822322
under support note - OMS and Agent Patches required for setting up Provisioning, Patching and Cloning in 10.2.0.3 to 10.2.0.5 GC [ID 427577.1]
FAQs:
#1 If I had applied the previous recommended patches, do I need to rollback before applying this?
Yes, if you had applied any of the patches (#9405592, #9132461, #8992470 and #8653501) you would need to rollback the patch and apply this.
For rollback instructions, refer to the patch README from the support note 427577.1
#2 I recently applied the patch 9132461, do I still need the new patch?
The new patch contains additional bug fixes. (For more info see,9843796 or 9822322) -- Required for applying latest DB PSU.
The 11.1 patch provides the additional fixes from the 10.2.0.5 line that were not part of the base EM 11.1 release.
Oracle strongly recommends you to apply the latest patch to make sure your do not encounter these issues and you are at the current patch levels for faster issue resolution through support
#3 Are there any special instructions to apply these patches?
Yes, you need to apply the pre-requisite patch -9705138 before applying the new patch.
#4 Any more issues seen at customers or learnings ?
a) "I applied the patches but the version of the deployment procedure remain the same"?
The patch instructions are not followed up completely. Make sure you run post apply steps - PAR Deploy and SQL apply as per the readme.
b) Oracle DB JULY PSU is an Overlay patch on top of April PSU, can I apply using these deployment procedures?
You need these recommended bundles on the OMS as a pre-requisite. You can apply both PSUs (APR and JULY) together through Deployment procedures. It would take care of the orchestration of applying April followed by the Overlay July PSU.

Nice - thanks!

I get no sound from my guitar when using iRig with my iPod 5th gen (iOS 7)

I've just bought my iRig and it doesn't work with my iPod 5. I get no sound out of my guitar.
Headphones are working and when iRig is connected I can hear the samples and every other sound coming out of the iPod, but I get nothing from my guitar.
I tried shutting the iPod down, turning Mono on/off, but it still doesn't work with any of my apps (Amplitube, Garage Band and AmpKit).
Then I tried it with my brother's iPod 4 and it worked perfectly, which makes me think that there's something wrong with my iPod settings (I got the iOS 7)....
Does anyone know something I could try?
Thanks!

I am also getting the same error when trying to test the jspx from JDev. I created an EO, VO and Application Module connecting to MS SQL server 2000 database. I created the Database using JDBC-ODBC bridge and was able to access the tables successfully. When testing the Application Module from the BC browser i am able to navigate between the records of the EO/VO successfully. I included this VO as a Read Only table in one of my jspx page and when trying to test the jspx page i get the same error.
Please help and let me know what i am missing.

Escalation from approver to manager using organizational plan.

Hi all,
I have to escalate the the User decision step to the manager if the approver does not respond to the users request in 3 days. The employee, approver and manager Hierarchy is maintained in the oraganizational plan.
I am able to esacalate to the approver based on the employee based rule '168'.
Now how to escalate it to manager if the approver has not responded in 3 days.
Regards,
Gautham P

Hi Gautham,
You will need to setup a modelled deadline monitoring on the user decision step.
The deadline time can be set as a fixed value. For example 3+ days from creation of the step, or as a calculated value stored in the workflow container.
Depending on the requirements you may need to
1) Remove the User decision from the current recipient, and reassign to the manager, and/or
2) Just tell the manager that the recipient is not doing their job by sending a email.
If possible check if the person assigned is on leave by checking the associated HR records provided they are available. That way you can tell the manager that XX is on leave until DD.MMM.YYYY and has forgotten to forward their workflows/emails.
Kind Regards
David Cooper
