Generating "Update if null" from Designer

I know this is probably very simple, but I can't find out how to do it.
We are using Designer R.1.3.2 and Forms 4.5 (plus some version of Headstart that I don't know). I simply want to generate a form with some items which have the property "Update if null" set to "true". Designer does not seem to allow this in the table or form definition, and I can't find anything in the preferences that looks possible.
So how do you do it?
Thank you in advance for any help!
Chris

Hi Cris,
I'm not really familiar with Designer 1.3.2,
but if you are generating the
WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE trigger you can use
SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('<block>.<item>', UPDATE_NULL, PROPERTY_TRUE);
This will set the property for the particular item when you start the Form.
Hope this helps...

Yes, this is a known issue. We will fix this for the next release.
Having said that, the next release will contain the JHeadstart Forms2ADF generator which directly reads Oracle Forms .fmb files to ADF, without the need to use Oracle Designer, avoiding problems like this alltogether.

Generating FREELIST storage clause from Designer

Hi,
We are using Designer 6.0 to generate our tablespace and table DML. I am currently trying to get Designer to generate a CREATE TABLE command of the form (where the FREELIST GROUP clause is the subject of this question).
CREATE TABLE
test_table( id NUMBER )
TABLESPACE TEST_TBL
STORAGE (FREELIST GROUPS 2)
I know that a FREELIST GROUP can be specified at the Storage Definition level in Designer 6.0 and that these Storage Definitions can be assigned to tablespaces and tables. However, even setting it at the Storage Definition level and assigning that definition to the Table won't generate it in the DML script for the table.
Are there other options that need to be set before the FREELIST GROUPS storage clause can be generated ? - I want to avoid changing the scripts by hand.
Any help is appreciated,
Natalina

Generate SQL scripts from Designer 6

Hi all,
Does anyone know how to generate an SQL-script from Designer? I want to maintain the code in the repository, and also document usages against the script. I've found ways to document the script, but then I can't generate it....
Thanks in advance,
Ronald

Ronald,
How did you record the SQL script in designer? As undefined pl/sql module (type= "null")?
If so, you cannot generate the script with the ddl generator. To do so you could change the type to procedure and make post-generation changes to the script (cut of f the procedure header and trailer lines). An other way to generate it is to write your own SQL script generator as a headstart utility. You might take a look at the html help file generator utility which does a similar job (create a o/s file based on the repository contents).
Let us know if you succeed.
Regards, Marc

Unable to run Oracle Form Builder from Designer 10g

I am using Windows XP with Oracle Designer 9.0.4.5. From Design Editor, I select Run -> Oracle Forms, nothing happen. I am able to open Form Builder manually (C:\ORACLE\904\bin\ifbld90.exe). After I generated a module (form) from Designer, I have to open the FMB manually from Form Builder. In Designer 9i, I am able to open Form Builder from Designer. Is this a bug for Designer 10g?
Thanks,
Jim

Thanks for the response, Suresh,
I believe this is an installation/configuration issue.
I installed Oracle Developer Suite 9.0.4, which includes Form Builder, Report Builder, and Designer. System Path contains the ORACLE_HOME (c:\oracle\904\bin). I am able to start Form Builder from DOS command (ifbld90.exe). I am also able to start Report Builder (rwbuilder.exe) and Designer (des2k61.exe) from DOS. I am able to Run Oracle Report Builder from Designer, but just not Form Builder. I also checked the Windows registry settings and they seem alright to me.
thanks,
Jim

Generate BC4J components from Designer

Oracle Designer 9.0.2.80.1 vers: 4.0.12
Oracle SCM RON: 9.0.2.80.1 vers: 4.0.12
Oracle Jdeveloper 9.0.4.0 (Build 1419)
I try to generate BC4J components from Designer definitions from SCM.
In Designer:
I make workarea (WA27) as rep_owner
and child application (AP27) below WA.
I create one table (TABLE1) and one (Java) module to that simple table (TABLE1).
I check in and out application table and module.
In JDeveloper:
I make connection to SCM Database as user rep_owner
Test succeed and I see below Connection1Functions tables , procedures .. of the repository.
I do not see among tables just created table (TABLE1).
I make workarea an project below that WA.
Then I right-click on new project and choose Business Tier/Designer Generation +
Designer BC4J and click OK
Designer BC4J Generator Wizard starts
Wiard continues and I choose to workarea: WA27 and next
In next phase wizard shows only workarea WA27 not application below that.
I designer too old or do I need changes to definitions of the repository.

Language of the module have to be Oracle Forms (not JAVA).
After change wizard will find that container (= application) AP27 and modude(s) below that. OK!!!!
Fine !

Generating forms from Designer... bug?

Sorry for offtopic....
I'm trying to generate form from designer. The form has 1 data module with base table & one lookup table usages. One field from lookup table is displayable. When I set "Display type" property of this field "Text" disigner says: "CDI-21600: A running utility.. etc." BUT when I set "Display type" property of this field "PopList" - everything goes well!

The CDI-21600 error message means that the generator is hitting an unhandled

masks the underlying exception error. To see the real error do the following:
1. Go into the Registry Editor (REGEDIT).

I have read this article and it seems that there is not such bug, but ... ?
Maybe this will be a little help for you.

Generate update statement from select results

I'm trying to generate an update statement based off select statement results. A very basic example,
SELECT ListID FROM DListing WHERE Status = 2
Results return 3 rows.
1234
2345
3456
How can I take those results and turn them into WHERE criteria for UPDATE statement?
Generated UPDATE statement should look like this.
UPDATE DListing SET Status = 1 WHERE ListID IN (1234,2345,3456)
I have started by creating a temp table to hold my SELECT results, but I don't know how to get those results into format for IN condition. Right now I get 3 UPDATE statements with 1 ListID in each IN condition.
CREATE TABLE #TempStatusUpdate(ListID INT)
INSERT INTO #TempStatusUpdate
SELECT ListID FROM DListing WHERE Status = 2
SELECT 'UPDATE DListing SET Status = 1 WHERE ListID IN (' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(30),ListID) + ') AND Status = 2'
DROP TABLE #TempStatusUpdate

So what wrong with
UPDTATE DListing
SET Status = 1
WHERE ListID IN (SELECT ListID FROM #TempStatusUpdate)

The CG$ASK_COMMIT alert is being generated from designer but from where??

I am generating oracle forms from designer and the generated form contains an ALERT called CG$ASK_COMMIT. My question is, which generator property, specifies this ALERT?? I have looked everywhere? I am trying to change the alert type, style, wording without modifying the form after generation.
Any help would be great.
Thanks in advance,
Terry

I don't know if there is preference for it. What we do is put this in the when-new-form-instance:
     l_alert_id := FIND_ALERT('CG$ASK_COMMIT');
     IF NOT ID_NULL(l_alert_id) THEN
        SET_ALERT_PROPERTY(l_alert_id,ALERT_MESSAGE_TEXT,'<your message>');
        SET_ALERT_BUTTON_PROPERTY(l_alert_id, ALERT_BUTTON1, LABEL, '<your label>');
        SET_ALERT_BUTTON_PROPERTY(l_alert_id, ALERT_BUTTON2, LABEL, '<your label>');
        SET_ALERT_BUTTON_PROPERTY(l_alert_id, ALERT_BUTTON3, LABEL, '<your label>');
     END IF;

Cfg61.dll - Cannot generate forms from Designer

Hi
When I try and generate a form from Designer 6i (i am using the tutorial app) i get the following error message :- CDD-23564 : The file "g:\orant\BIN\cfg61.dll" could not be loaded or does not exist. However the file does exist in the specified location. Ive looked thru the on-line documentation and checked the registry but cant see anything obvious. Ive got the following configuration on my machine :-
Windows NT 4 (service pack 3)
Oracle 8i (version 8.1.6)
Designer 6i (version 6.5.28.8.0)
Any advice would be welcome.
Thanks

The configuration looks ok except for Th eService Pack. Designer requires Service Pack 5 or 6 or Wondows 2000 Service Pack 1. Try changing the Service Pack.
All the best

Updating qms0012f.fmb in designer with qms0012f.fmb from 6.5.2.2 patch

Hi,
I have recently updated our headstart templates/objects with patch 6.5.2.2.
I would like to update designer with these more up to date libraries and forms.
I have been able to do a design capture of the libraries (eg. qms0012l.pll) back into
designer but I am having a bit of trouble with the form (eg. qms0012f.fmb). The
form capture doesn't seem to work. It is possible that I have missed the procedure
to do this in the documentation. If so can you please direct me to the right spot.
Is it possible to receive an export so we can import it back into designer?

Marc,
Do not put too much effort in design capturing forms (fmb files). This is NOT 100% real-roundtrip-
reengineerable, I gathered that hence my question in this forum :)
in opposite to the forms pll libraries, which can be generated 100% after a succesfull >design capture.The reason for my attempt to capture the form qms0012f is to keep the module in designer in sync with the fmb file we received in the patch.
What we would like to do is customise the form (which we have previously done in designer). If we make the changes in the fmb file itself then it means it is not held in designer which would really defeat our efforts in 100% generation. How do you suggest we do this?

I have just updated my OSX from 10.6.8 to 10.8.5 My in Design CS2 will no longer work. How do I up

I have just updated my OSX from 10.6.8 to 10.8.5 My in Design CS2 will no longer work. How do I update the software?

What you could do if you have to stick with CS2 is to have a bootable hard drive that is setup to be on Snow Leopard (10.6). For the times you need to use old software such as InDesign CS2, then restart the Mac and boot from the external hard drive into 10.6 and then you're OK. I use this method for any PowerPC programs I rarely use.

How to get an updatable ADODB Recordset from a Stored Procedure?

In VB6 I have this code to get a disconnected ADODB Recordset from a Oracle 9i database (the Oracle Client is 10g):
Dim conSQL As ADODB.Connection
Dim comSQL As ADODB.Command
Dim recSQL As ADODB.Recordset
Set conSQL = New ADODB.Connection
With conSQL
.ConnectionString = "Provider=OraOLEDB.Oracle;Password=<pwd>;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=<uid>;Data Source=<dsn>"
.CursorLocation = adUseClientBatch
.Open
End With
Set comSQL = New ADODB.Command
With comSQL
.ActiveConnection = conSQL
.CommandType = adCmdStoredProc
.CommandText = "P_PARAM.GETALLPARAM"
.Properties("PLSQLRSet").Value = True
End With
Set recSQL = New ADODB.Recordset
With recSQL
Set .Source = comSQL
.CursorLocation = adUseClient
.CursorType = adOpenStatic
.LockType = adLockBatchOptimistic
.Open
.ActiveConnection = Nothing
End With
The PL/SQL Procedure is returning a REF CURSOR like this:
PROCEDURE GetAllParam(op_PARAMRecCur IN OUT P_PARAM.PARAMRecCur)
IS
BEGIN
OPEN op_PARAMRecCur FOR
SELECT *
FROM PARAM
ORDER BY ANNPARAM DESC;
END GetAllParam;
When I try to update some values in the ADODB Recordset (still disconnected), I get the following error:
Err.Description: Multiple-step operation generated errors. Check each status value.
Err.Number: -2147217887 (80040E21)
Err.Source: Microsoft Cursor Engine
The following properties on the Command object doesn't change anything:
.Properties("IRowsetChange") = True
.Properties("Updatability") = 7
How can I get an updatable ADODB Recordset from a Stored Procedure?

4 years later...
I was having then same problem.
Finally, I've found how to "touch" the requierd bits.
Obviously, it's hardcore, but since some stupid at microsoft cannot understand the use of a disconnected recordset in the real world, there is no other choice.
