Hi Robin,
You are right that without a meaningful subject other people cannot come to know like what exactly you trying to get help on. But what I feel sometimes-odd subject lines also attract many people, like I am sure many people must have read this one. Mr. Pasupulati wanted your attention and he got reply from you. Lucky Guy. In any chance if you happen to read this (I am not trying what Mr. Pasupulati tried) but one of my problems that I am trying to solve for a long time, I guess no one has the right answer for it. It would be a great help if you say something on it. It goes like this - Toolbar disappears when error message window appears. I have developed a form using template 11i. Any suggestions.
True regards,

How to load images from file system and save in database

Hello Fellows!
I have a problem and try to explain:
Plateform:
Operating System: Windows 98, Form 6i and Oracle 8
Table in the database
Table:Emp_pic with columns i.e. (empno and pic type long raw)
In forms, I have a data block which contain the columns of the emp_pic table and a control block which have a push button contains the trigger as follow, also attach PL/SQL library i.e. D2kWUTIL.PLL
When-Button-Pressed (Trigger)
Declare
temp varchar2(400);
Begin
temp := win_api_dialog.open_file('Open File','d:\pic','*.tif',true,win_api.ofn_flag_default,false);
read_image_file(temp,'tif','emp_pic.pic');
end;
The problem when I pressed the button it does not display open dialog box what is the wrong with the code or else.
Thanks in advance
(BASIT)

What do you mean "it did not work"? You need to post more information, such as what errors you got.
My guess is that it did work, but it ran on the middle tier, which is where Forms is running. Commands like that need more work to execute on the client.
Go to the Forms area on OTN and download the Oracle9i Forms Samples. They have demos and source code to move files from the client to the server.
Coming soon will be a utility called WebUtil which will make this even easier.

Oracle9i Host and Text_IO Command Issues

We are currently attempting to migrate from Forms6i to Oracle9i Forms. I understand that the current Host and Text_IO commands execute on the application server tier and NOT on the client. To counter the Host command issue the migration documentation suggests using the 'Client Host Command PJC' demo which can be incorporated into a form. However, the only Host command that seems to respond is the 'Notepad' command. I need to use other Host commands. Has anyone actually used the aforementioned 'Client Host PJC' in an Oracle9i form?
Also, I am aware of a utility being developed by Oracle called 'WebUtil' which is suppose to simplify this process. Any idea when this utility will be launched and made available to developers? Thanks in advance for your help.

Forms 9i/Forms 6i Push Button problems

Hello All,
I have a form that is using a bunch of Push Buttons. Each of these Push Buttons has a Access Key assigned to it.
The main canvas is a tab canvas and there are some stacked canvases too. All of them are being displayed on the same window.
If I press the access key a Push button when it is not being displayed on the screen, it still executes the When-Button-Pressed Trigger and is causing me some pain.
How can I stop the When-Button-Pressed trigger from executing when the Push Button is hidden from view ?
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Sriram

You could make the button disabled when it is hidden.

Hello to all,
Before i dont have the problem for the administrations user.
But now I cant create new users and get LOV from the users, there is always the error:

How can I create a Forms9i Runtime for client distribution

Currently we have an application developed in Forms 5.0.6.8.0 our Database has been upgraded to 9i DB. The application is working fine with this combination but we want to upgrade Forms in order to get Oracle Support. We just get the Developer Suite 9i package and we're trying to test our application with this software.
How can I create the client runtime for Forms 9i?
My application will work with Win 95 and 98?
Thanks.

Oracle9i Forms is web-only. Forms 6i is the last release of Forms to have client/server and character mode.
You can test Forms from the Builder by installing iDS. To deploy Forms using iAS follow the documentation. It's all there in the deployment guide.
iAS and Forms doco can be found on OTN.

Sorting at Form Level

Dear All,
thanx for my earliar queries, tahnx a lot.
i am working on Forms 6i / Oracle 8i.Actaully, i need to sort some records on form level, which i got populated in the form one-by-one by the primary key.
pls, suggest me how to proceed.
Inderjeet Singh

It's not Forms that does the sorting, but the database. That's why you modify the ORDER BY clause of the block; Forms passes it to the database which modifies the query accordingly.
So one option is to base your block on a view, which can include your derived field. This is useful for sorting on things like foreign key lookups.
If the thing you want to sort is not in the database, then you can implement your sort using PL/SQL and manipulating the blocks using the block and record built-ins.

SOLUTION: Installing 10.1.3.1.0, 10.1.3.3,0 and 10.1.3.3.1 on Vista

Oracle SOA Suite is not yet certified on Windows Vista, but you can get it to work if you know the gotchas. These steps worked for me. If you needed to do some extra steps, please reply to this post.
Some of this information comes thanks to the people in this thread:
SOA Suite for windows vista
That has links to other threads and help, including this useful blog:
http://www.approach-alliance.nl/index.php?option=com_jd-wp&Itemid=2&p=52
Installing 10.1.3.1.0
This installtion is the full release (as opposed to a patch). The most common problem is the Configuration Assistant failing on the OWSM configuration.
1. You need to disable IPv6 (the up-and-coming replacement for the IP address convention). The steps are described in Note 444112.1 which can be found on Metalink. You can also find instructions elsewhere on the web (hint: try Google). Alright, I'll do it for you -- you can find the instructions on this page:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/network/ipv6/ipv6faq.mspx
2. Before starting setup.exe for SOA Suite, right-click it and choose Properties. Change the compatibility mode to Windows XP (Service Pack 2).
3. Run setup.exe and the installation should work.
Installing 10.1.3.3.0 or 10.1.3.3.1
This is a patch installation that has to be installed into an existing 10.1.3 home.
The most common problem is the installer hanging at 84%.
1. Again, run setup.exe in Windows XP compatibility mode.
2. At 84%, the installer attempts to start the SOA Suite instance. Let it hang for a while until your server is fully started.
3. Using Task Manager (or even better, Process Explorer from Sysinternals -- it's free) kill any opmn.exe processes that are running.
4. Immediately start them again. (Run opmnctl startall on the command line from SOA_HOME\opmn\bin).
5. The installer will continue. At first it won't seem like it is, it sits on 84% for a little bit. But give it a couple of minutes and it should continue.
6. Later in the Configuration Assistants screen, it will hang on the second (and final) step which is the OPMN configuration. The output in the details section will say:
opmnctl: starting opmn and all managed processes...Again, give it some time until you think the server really is fully started.
7. Shutdown the server. (Run opmnctl shutdown on the command line from SOA_HOME\opmn\bin). This will allow the installer to continue. As it turns out, starting the server was the last thing the installer was going to do anyway, so the installation ends immediately.
8. Everything should work now. Well, once you start the server that is. I got an error in the BPEL Console when I tried to open it. The fix for that is described here:
SOLUTION: BPEL Console error with 10.1.3.3 or 10.1.3.3.1 patch
The starting and stopping of the server in the steps above are probably not the most efficient. But they worked for me.
If you tried the steps in this post, please reply here with your results so we can see if they are helpful or not.
Regards,
Robin.

Problem with NOCOPY compiler hint in form library

When compiling the following code in a package as part of a PL/SQL library attached to my version 6 form, I get the error below.
The error does not occur if I remove the "NOCOPY" compiler hint. Anyone know what the problem is?
TYPE duplicate_id_tab IS TABLE OF duplicate_id_rec;
PROCEDURE find_duplicate_ids (pidm_dupes IN OUT NOCOPY duplicate_id_tab, LName_in IN VARCHAR2,FName_in IN VARCHAR2);
Error 103 at line 13, column 59
Encountered the symbol "DUPLICATE_ID_TAB" when expecting one of the following:
:=,),@ % default character
The symbol ":=" was substituted for "DUPLICATE_ID_TAB" to continue.

I posted an answer to this but it seems to have failed, so I'll send it again.
The NOCOPY reserved word appeared in PL/SQL 8.1.x. Forms 6i uses PL/SQL 8.0.6. Therefore, you can't use NOCOPY in Forms 6i.
Oracle9i Forms uses a later version of PL/SQL, so it works. I already tested in Oracle9i Forms for you.
We do not change the RSFs except in a major release. Therefore, no version of Forms 6i will support NOCOPY.

D2kwutil running with Forms6i under Windows XP

Hi
I'm trying to run D2kwutil.pll version 6.0.6.0 with Forms6i 6.0.8.8.0 under Windows XP and it's not working when I try to call WIN_API_FILE package. I tryed to run the demo form (WAPIDEMO) that I downloaded with the PLL but they don't run either - As a matter of fact, this form don't open.
Does anyone know what can I do to solve, I mean, to run this PLL under Windows XP - if it is possible?
Thanks

How can anyone help if you don't describe the problem? Saying "it doesn't work" is of no value whatsoever.

Robin Zimmermann
Forms Product Management Not to be critical or anything Robin, but publicly berating and humiliating your customers doesn't help anyone either.
This is especially true when its obvious from the name and the return email address that the person is Brazilian and is at least making the attempt to communicate the issue in English. Would you have understood their problem better if they'd used their native tongue? Obviously something didn't translate well - and it came accross as "its broken".
And by the way, the customer did describe some of what was wrong... they attempted to open a specific demo form, which came bundled with the PLL file from YOUR company, and it wouldn't even open. They are running XP and Forms 6i, which as far as I last knew was not a certified product combination (which is likely part of the problem).
A little effort (and a kind word) might go a long way toward finding a solution. And if you're just burnt out or having bad day, try to remember that its not OUR fault.
With all due sincerity,
