From Product Management - Hands-on ADF exercise for Forms/Designer users

If there are any people on this list from an Oracle Forms and Oracle Designer background who are learning ADF, you may be interested in the hands on exercise we are running on otn.oracle.com/formsdesignerj2ee , our dedicated site for Forms and Designer developers learning ADF and J2EE.
The hands-on takes you through modelling your applications, adding flow, a business model, validation and this week: building the web pages.
Details on otn.oracle.com/formsdesignerj2ee

Grant this page is excellent. i have seen it earlier and i follow it up. the best part is the hands-on workshop.
you have to continue this workshop by adding more complex examples for application development it will be very useful.
i am a forms developer. what ever little i have learnt about java app. devlopment using jdev i have learnt from this page.
few request for hands-on from myside
sample population of JTree(a sample application like we develop with forms, select a node in the tree and the right-side datablock gets populated with the corresponding selected node data)
sample manual population of JTable
Might sound very silly but will be very useful for starters like me.
Your earlier workshops were very detailed one and i expect the rest in the same way. I had only little knowledge of jdev before. but i could very easily work with your hands-on becuase of the detailed explanation and could complete all.
Thanks.

  • From Product Management:  How do you clone your installation

    I'm interested in what approaches you take for cloning a production Forms/Middleware environment. So you've done one install, but you need x number of instances set up. How do you do it?
    Manual install each time?
    Some clever copying of files?
    Some other solution?
    Please let me know (including version number),how easy/painful it is, and also whether you think the ability to clone an installation would be something that would be useful to you.
    thanks

    Hello Grant,
    I am just in the process of migrating a load-balanced OAS 10g Forms+Reports environment with many applications to 11g, and I think that the cloning facility of 10g is really missing now. Until now I have not missed it much because I have mainly upgraded customers with at most 2 nodes, but now I have to do a 4 node installation, and that is much more work without good cloning facilities.
    What I plan to do to make the cloning as easy as possible is the following:
    - I first install all software (JDK, WebLogic and Forms-Reports 11.1.2) in the middleware home
    - Then I configure a domain+instance: I create the domain and instance files all outside the middleware home (only possible with 11.1.2 installer) on one node
    - I configure all applications on it
    - Then I just copy the middleware home (+ inventory) to the other nodes (using shared storage for it is also an option)
    - Then I configure a new domain on each node. Although this seems overhead (compared to expanding an existing domain/cluster) it is easier to make identical nodes
    - For Forms configuration I have to create all custom .env files on each node using EM (I have not found out how to register these to the MBean without EM)
    - Then I shutdown the WLS_FORMS and copy formsweb.cfg and all .env files from the first node
    - Other files that may need to be copied: webutil.cfg, base html files (if modified), jvmcontroller.cfg, custom jar-files and dll-files (for webutil)
    - For Reports we do a similar thing: we only use stand-alone reportsservers, so copying the rwserver.conf, rwservlet.properties, rwnetwork.conf and custom font (ttf) files does it
    Although this does not seem too much work, it has the disadvantage that you really need a multi-step description of the cloning process, while in previous releases a single step cloning could be performed by anybody. And it is easier to make mistakes and and up with differences in the nodes.
    I worked on a large project with multiple OAS 10.1.3 nodes, and the cluster facility in that version was great. Any config changes were propagated to all nodes.
    I think it would be a great idea to have the following functionality in Forms 12:
    - Expand a Forms cluster should also clone all configuration (also of copies of formsapp for those who deploy a formsapp per Forms application).
    A nice-to-have would be to give the option to create more than 1 Forms cluster in a domain.
    - Give EM FMW Control the ability (as in 10.1.3) to change a configuration property of all members of a cluster in one go (but allow differences)
    Hope this helps you for the strategy for the next geneartion of Forms.

  • Is ADF meant for database designed with vertical schema ?

    Hi,
    I want to know if ADF 11g is meant for database designed with vertical schema where even the column names will be rows in a generic table?
    Thanks in advance.
    Edited by: user8925296 on Apr 12, 2010 10:06 AM

    The short answer is no...
    What you are calling a "vertical schema" is what others have called an entity-attribute-value or universal data model schema. I'd advise you to do some open-minded research about these types of schemas if you are developing a new application before you proceed. They sound great in practice, but have quite inherent usability and scalability issues.

  • Pdf reader requirements for forms designed in Livecycle

    HI guys,
    I have designed a few dynamic pdf forms that was developed using Livecycle Designer ES. These forms are online fillable forms and I will be uploading these on my site so my users can open these forms in their browsers, complete the form online and print it out for their personal use. These forms are more like online tools for the users. For this, I also have to provide a Troubleshoot guide to my users so they can refer to this if they are unable to open the forms or having trouble viewing the forms properly. So right now I am working on creating this Troubleshoot documentation and I dont want to give the wrong info to my users so I have some clarifications and some doubts and wondering if you guys can help me out..
    1) From what I understand, I think the users need to have atleast a v.8.0 of Acrobat Reader in order to fill these dynamic forms that was designed in livecycle designer ES. This is right? I think so based on my memory since I believe I read this somewhere. Would you be able to clarify this? Have I got the right version?
    2) Also, further to this I understand that the users need to have an Acrobat reader browser plug-in in order to open the pdfs in their browsers. So, I will be adding a list of various pdf plug-in download links for various browsers.
    3) I was wondering, what happens if the user doesnt have acrobat reader installed in their computer? What are the common other pdf readers that various users use? I know there are tons out there but I am trying to understand the common ones that majority of the people use other than Acrobat Reader. I mean users having mac or other OS. Will these forms also work in other pdf readers? Is there are a list of various pdf readers & the versions requirements in order for these livecycle forms to work?
    4) Other than the above points, do you think if I need to mention anything else in the troubleshoot documentation? Any points I may have missed?
    I am sorry..this is the first time I am uploading these online forms and I am trying to understand the requirements so I may be able to assist my users if they do experience any problems. So any help is very much appreciated!
    Thank you..

    Some users are having problems viewing my forms I created using livecycle:
    1) I have a created a few dynamic forms designed using livecycle designer ES..In order for my users to open these forms, they need to have atleast Adobe acrobat / reader version 8.1 or higher to view these dynamic files. However, quite a few of my users are saying that they are still unable to open these forms directly from their browser although they have downloaded the latest Acrobat X version and the browser plug-ins in their computer. It happens to both windows and mac computers. But they are able to download these files and open it directly from their adobe reader though. It happens with all browsers for them...some of them have even called up mac support as well as adobe support and they were advised that it could be a problem with my forms that I find hard to believe since it opens in my computer and opens for a lot of other users. Its only a few users still having this difficulties and I can't understand why! They have also tried enabling "Adobe Reader" as a default problem to open pdf files by opening the adobe reader. They also have tried uninstalling and re-installing the readers and still the same problem. These LC files just dont open inside their browser for them.
    2) Also, I recently uploaded a dynamic file in acrobat file sharing. I noticed that when I click on this file sharing link, it also shows the message that I dont have the latest reader installed (something similar to what my users say about my forms), Why am I getting the below message when I have the latest adobe installed? I am able to open other dynamic xml forms in my browsers..why does this happen? I wonder if other user's problem who open my forms from my site is similar to this problem I have with acrobat file sharing...not sure... (example url: https://acrobat.com/#d=fs-E6Bqml8r0FWI8aMu09g )
    To view the full contents of this document, you need a later version of the PDF viewer. You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader from etc...etc...etc..
    What can be the problem when the adobe version is already updated and also the plug-ins are updated too?? I have read a lot of links in adobe site itself which suggest various methods to test out the forms, browsers, plug-ins, etc..and I also understand that it doesnt work for iOS & Android devices, but this problem still happens to some users even after trying out these troubleshoots. Can someone plz explain if there are other limitations or solution for these users?

  • Managing my ITunes-a ? for more experienced users...

    My library is over 14k tunes and I'm only really interested in listening to around 5k regularly but want to maintain the entire library. I've therefore gone thru the tedious process of putting a check mark next to each of the 5k tunes I like best. My questions are:
    1) Does either the .itl or .xml files record these check marks so that if computer ever crashes its easily restored?
    2) Suppose a friend comes over and wants to hear everything by an artist of whom I've only got about 1/3rd of their stuff checked. If I check the remainder to play ther entire collection, is there an easy way to later easily uncheck to restore back to the original 1/3rd?
    3) If I wanted to, is there a quick and easy way to remove all the unchecked selections, i.e., the other 9k tunes?
    Thanks VERY VERY MUCH!!!
    Good Karma to all who share knowledge & pay it forward!
    p.s. I've not previously had luck getting answers in this forum but know tonight will be different, thx in advance!

    Hi!
    1) Yes, they are stored there. What are the iTunes Library files?
    2) No.
    3) Relatively.
    2 & 3 are probably not what you're looking to hear. Which is why, instead of relying on these checkboxes, I'd combine it with playlists, both smart and static.
    To save a selection of unchecked songs, say by artist 2134, do this:
    Smart Playlist
    Artist is 2134
    Match only checked
    No Live Updating (this is important!)
    Then, you can check the rest of them (by selecting the artist in the browser, and ctrl+checking one song).
    When you want to undo that, ctrl+uncheck the artist's songs, then open the (now static) playlist, and ctrl+check to recheck everything.
    To take care of 3:
    Make a Smart Playlist
    Match only Checked
    Make another Smart Playlist
    Playlist is not (playlist1)
    Ctrl+a, Shift+del to clear all unchecked from library.
    Of course, back up the itl and xml files regularly if you rely on these checkmarks. Definitely before you play around with all of this.

    Forms Product Management

    I did create a posting on OTN almost a year ago asking if/when 9iAS light version (forms/reports/graphs only) will be available at a reduced cost.
    Oracle now announced (and also proved my claims that it was not a technical but marketing decision not to make forms/reports part of iAS a separate product) the separate download/install option for forms/reports services.
    My original posting attracked more than 100 folks (including Shay, Frank and Grant) but was not fruitful to convince Oracle to make forms/reports services a separate product targeted for the small companies, who might not need/use the rest of the 9iAS framework. I believe, seeing one side of the coin and enforcing your opinion by ignoring the cry of many others (including many ODTUG members) is not a wise solution for your existing small business and niche market (using Oracle db and tools for very specific purposes such as simulations, etc on intranets - and operating under strict security protocols not to open up to internet) customers.
    Grant and Shay repeatedly wrote on this forum and presented via whitepapers, etc. that forms/reports services are not fading away and it is a complementary solution to JDeveloper and emphasized that JDeveloper is not the replacement of forms/reports services. This news was very good for existing forms/reports developers.
    Given that forms/reports services is now separately available, why not making Forms/Reports Designer and Forms/Reports services (only) part of iAS a separate product? as Oracle did the very same with JDeveloper?

  • ** 6i Download problems - Product Management speaks **

    Firstly on behalf of the 6i Product Management team let me appologise for the problems you have been experiencing with Technet and specifically with downloading 6i.
    I watch this forum and answer questions time permitting whenever I can, this forum (along with comp.databases.oracle.tools and ODTUG) are monitored by Product Management.
    You need to understand that Oracle is a very big company and that getting all the little parts to work seamlessly together sometimes doesn't work as well as it should, so please be assured that Tools PM is working as hard and as fast as it can to ensure that 6i is available for you to download.
    I have made enquiries today to find out what is happening at Technet. This is a division of Marketing based out of the US HQ, the PM teams have no responsibility for the management or maintenance of this site, we merely monitor mail lists and post our new software when complete.
    I am waiting for information on the action plan to resolve the performance and download problems being experienced by the Developer community.
    In response to some of the comments posted about downloading
    It is obvious that 6i has been out for a WHILEActually this is not true, it has been available for download for a while, but not orderable..
    Product Release Point Dates:
    (1)
    Release to MFG - 24-MAR-00 (This date is used by engineering and is the start of the 16-week period for the 1st patchset.) THE PRODUCT IS NOT ORDERABLE YET.
    (2)
    Release to PRG - 14-APR-00 (This is the M&D hand-off date for the Tools CD Pack.) THE PRODUCT IS NOT ORDERABLE YET.
    (3)
    Between 6:00PM PST and midnight 27-APR-00 - R6i, Windows, was added to the Oracle Store and officially orderable.
    I have seen many posted messages, iTARS, etc referencing the availability of downloading forms updates, availablity of getting patchesAs you will see from the information above, this is not possible, patch one for 6i will not be released until 16 weeks after 24-MAR-2000
    How much do we have to pay and who do we have to kiss to get a freakin update from Oracle? As the author of this comment has a support contract, they will know that you do not automatically get updates for products for which you hold licences. You merely need to order the latest version of the CD. Your support Account Manager will be able to advise you how to do this.
    Once again, please be assured that we value your time, effort and feedback and that we do watch this forum with great interest.
    I hope you found this information useful.

    As an update on the OTN performance problem I talked about earlier, I got some info from Global Ops
    Customers are trying to download software from ftp.oracle.com, a server managed by the datacenter. The server is actually 2 servers (mirrored), with 1,400 connections (700 per machine). Bottom line is that ftp.oracle.com doesn't have enough connections to support the number of users trying to download Oracle products each day. Approval has been received for a dedicated OC3 pipe to the ftp server; it's believed this will boost the current capacity to 4-5 times what's there today.
    Other improvement measures are being investigated.
    Whilst this is being resolved, please consider ordering the CD which is free. I have just tested this and it worked for me ;)
