Hi Francois,
As I created a procedure in database as below
create or replace procedure For_table (tbl_of in number,st_pnt in number,en_pnt in number) is
begin
for i in st_pnt..en_pnt loop
dbms_output.put_line(tbl_of||'*'||i||'='||tbl_of*i);
end loop;
end For_table;
The above procedure is working fine when I'm using PL/SQL. I call the above procedure as
begin
For_table(3,5,20);
end;
but nothing happen
Thanks in Advance.

How to run database procedure in oracle form

Hi,
I have created a database procedure, it run successfully at server side, but I need to run it on oracle form, how I'll do ?
Thanks
Baloch

Baloch,
Essentially, you call your database stored procedure the same way in Forms as you do in SQL Plus. The difference is that you need to call the procedure in a Forms Trigger versus a SQLPLus prompt. The Forms user must have execute privileges to the stored procedure as well. The Forms trigger depends on when and where you need the procedure to run. For example, if you need the procedure run in conjunction with a button pressed in your form, you would code your When-Button-Pressed trigger to call the stored procedure. If the db user is different fro.m the Forms user, make sure you fully qualify the call to the procedure.
Here is a small code sample to demonstrate:
/* Sample When-Button-Pressed trigger */
BEGIN
   IF <Condition is true> THEN
      /* Call Database procedure */
      SCHEMA.PROCEDURE_NAME(<any procedure parameters here>);
   END IF;
END;This is a very basic example, but it should make the concept clear. ;)
Hope this helps,
Craig B-)

Calling stored procedure in Oracle forms

I have a stored procedure in Oracle which is declared as follows in the package
SFCS1.Company_Selection(O_Cursor IN OUT T_Cursor, cls IN Varchar2);
Where T_Cursor is defined as a Ref Cursor
From the Oracle forms I'm using the following code
SFCS1.Company_Selection(A,my_cls);
go_block('Block50');
Execute_Query;
I get the error message "FRM40505:Oracle Error: Unable to Perform Query". If I hardcode the value of my_cls in the query it runs properly. Any solutions will be really helpful
Further to this, I want to put the single quotes around a value (for eg. 'A') from a variable. For instance I'm getting a value from my_cls and for the output I want to surround it with the single quotes, can somebody tell me how to do it.
Thanks in advance

This is a bit of a roundabout way to do it? Try setting up the block data source as procedure and set the values in the property palette of the data block.
e.g.
Query Data Source Type = Procedure
Query Data Source Name = SFCS1.Company_Selection
Query Data Source Columns = (Whatever columns/items you have in your datablock)
Query Data Source Arguments = Argument names are your ref cursor and your variable.
Check out basing data blocks on Ref Cursors.

How to call pdf files from oracle forms

I have a pdf file in the server , I need to call this and open when a button is pressed in the oracle forms.
Please let me know how to do this.
Thanks,
Previn

Frank,
I have oracle applications and I want to open a pdf file located in the server from a button in oracle applications.
Previn,
you don't mention the Forms release you are running.
If you are running Forms on the web, you can use
web.show_document() to load files from the Web if
they are accessible via HTTP.

Calling Stored Procedure from Oracle DataBase using Sender JDBC (JDBC-JMS)

Hi All,
We have requirement to move the data from Database to Queue (Interface Flow: JDBC -> JMS).
Database is Oracle.
*Based on Event, data will be triggered into two tables: XX & YY. This event occurs twice daily.
Take one field: 'aa' in XX and compare it with the field: 'pp' in YY.
If both are equal, then
if the field: 'qq' in YY table equals to "Add" then take the data from the view table: 'Add_View'.
else if the field: 'qq' in YY table equals to "Modify" then take the data from the view table: 'Modify_View'.
Finally, We need to archive the selected data from the respective view table.*
From each table, data will come differently, means with different field names.
I thought of call Stored Procedure from Sender JDBC Adapter for the above requirement.
But I heard that, we cannot call stored procedure in Oracle through Sender JDBC as it returns Cursor instead of ResultSet.
Is there any way other than Stored Procedure?
How to handle Data Types as data is coming from two different tables?
Can we create one data type for two tables?
Is BPM required for this to collect data from two different tables?
Can somebody guide me on how to handle this?
Waiting eagerly for help which will be rewarded.
Thanks and Regards,
Jyothirmayi.

Hi Gopal,
Thank you for your reply.
>Is there any way other than Stored Procedure?
Can you try configuring sender adapter to poll the data in intervals. You can configure Automatic TIme planning (ATP) in the sender jdbc channel.
I need to select the data from different tables based on some conditions. Let me simplify that.
Suppose Table1 contains 'n' no of rows. For each row, I need to test two conditions where only one condition will be satisfied. If 1st condition is satisfied, then data needs to be taken from Table2 else data needs to be taken from Table3.
How can we meet this by configuring sender adapter with ATP?
================================================================================================
>How to handle Data Types as data is coming from two different tables?
If you use join query in the select statement field of the channel then whatever you need select fields will be returned. This might be fields of two tables. your datatype fields are combination of two diff table.
we need to take data only from one table at a time. It is not join of two tables.
================================================================================================

Calling database procedure in forms

Hi,
i am calling the db procedure thru oracle forms.
i will be calling some of the forms thru the procedure.
i need to know is there any builtin in forms like sleep command in unix.

DBMS_LOCK.SLEEP(30);

Calling Report from Menu (Oracle Forms 11g)

I'm trying to call a report from a menu item in a menu (that is attached to a form) in Oracle Forms 11g directly and I'm having some difficulty. I know how to call a report from a form and everything works perfectly.
But since in a menu there is no item called "Report" to attach like there is in Forms, I followed on route which is to attach the "rp2rro" PL/SQL library on the menu file (mmb) and I also even did it on the form itself. Then when you convert a menu using the Forms Migration Assistant, it will comment out statements like "ADD_PARAMETER" and replace with calls to packaged procedures/functions from the package "rp2rro". I set all the parameters
RP2RRO.SETOTHERS('PARAMFORM=YES');
RP2RRO.SETDESTYPE('CACHE');
RP2RRO.SETDESFORMAT('PDF');
RP2RRO.SETCOMMUNICATIONMODE(SYNCHRONOUS);
then made the call to the report:
RP2RRO.RUN_PRODUCT(REPORTS, 'MYREPORT', SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME, FILESYSTEM, param_list_id, NULL);
but all i get is the error "FRM-41219: Cannot find report: invalid ID."
The Oracle documentation for integration reports in forms is for when you execute the report within a form not a menu item (that is attached to a form). Any clues?
My environment is:
Oracle (Database, Fusion Middleware) 11g - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
Web Browser - Internet Explorer 7 on Windows XP Professional
Thanks,

Hello,
One option is to use the Web.Show_Document() built-in, with the complete Report Server URL inside. Of course, you can hide some information (connection string for instance) by calling a section of the /reports/conf/cgicmd.dat configuration file.
FrancoisI tried it using the code below
DECLARE
c_relative_path CONSTANT VARCHAR2(50) := '/reports/rwservlet/?server=';
c_rep_srv_name CONSTANT VARCHAR2(50) := 'rep_wls_reports_calgf3_asinst_1';

v_db_instance VARCHAR2(40);
v_connect_string VARCHAR2(300);

v_rep_url VARCHAR2(400);

v_username := LOWER(get_application_property(username));
v_password := LOWER(get_application_property(password));
v_db_instance := LOWER(get_application_property(connect_string));
v_connect_string := v_username || '/' || v_password || '@' || v_db_instance;
v_rep_srv_params := '&report=' || c_rep_name ||
'&desformat=' || c_desformat ||
'&destype=' || c_destype ||
'&userid=' || v_connect_string ||
'&paramform=yes';
v_rep_url := c_relative_path || c_rep_srv_name || v_rep_srv_params;
web.show_document(v_rep_url, '_blank');
END;
and I get a new tab in the browser opening up (which is good at least) with the Oracle Reports Services page saying:
Error
No such Web command ().
Now I've tried putting a URL of a Oracle's website (http://www.oracle.com) and that works perfectly. Another question is, where would the default directory be if I wanted to say call an HTML file? Would it be in the directory of FORMS_PATH where all my fmb, fmx, rdf, pll, etc...files are stored?

Need sample source code for calling stored procedure in Oracle

Hi.
I try to call stored procedure in oracle using JCA JDBC.
Anybody have sample source code for that ?
Regards, Arnold.

Thank you very much for a very quick reply. It worked, but I have an extended problem for which I would like to have a solution. Thank you very much in advance for your help. The problem is described below.
I have the Procedure defined as below in the SFCS1 package body
Procedure Company_Selection(O_Cursor IN OUT T_Cursor)
BEGIN
Open O_Cursor FOR
SELECT CompanyId, CompanyName
FROM Company
WHERE CompanyProvince IN ('AL','AK');
END Company_Selection;
In the Oracle Forms, I have a datablock based on the above stored procedure. When I execute the form and from the menu if I click on Execute Query the data block gets filled up with data (The datablock is configured to display 10 items as a tabular form).
At this point in time, I want to automate the process of displaying the data, hence I created a button and from there I want to call this stored procedure. So, in the button trigger I have the following statements
DECLARE
A SFCS1.T_Cursor;
BEGIN
SFCS1.Company_Selection(A);
go_Block ('Block36');
The cursor goes to the corresponding block, but does not display any data. Can you tell me how to get the data displayed. In the future versions, I'm planning to put variables in the WHERE clause.

Calling unix script using oracle forms

we have to call unix script using oracle forms , a trigger in form calls stored procedure on database
that stored procedure on database calls a oracle shared library
but since the only listener account for oracle on our unix server is oralist , whenever a call is made to the unix script from the oracle form , the unix script is executed by oralist user
but issue that we are having now is since oralist is specific for listening connections from orale we dont want to use this user to establish SFTP on it to avoid any issues with oralist
we want the sftp to be established on soem other useraccount , so is it possible to do something so that the script is executed by an account other that oralist.

I'm not a Linux/Unix specialist, but I think this may work: let your database call a shell script that does a su command before running the actual script:
su - other_account
your_script.sh

How can I code this in Oracle Forms?

I have a master-detail form. In the detail block, I have several records. Here is my name table.
ID Name_Type Name
1 old Mike
2 Current John
3 old Peter
4 old Andrew
I would like to create a button trigger which shall perform the following:
1) insert a record into database with a copy of current value. In the above case it will insert create a record for John as name_type = 'OLD'. So we have total of 5 records. Commit the transaction.
2) Scroll through my detail records (5) and go to one specific record and erase the values from it. In the above case, it should find John's record with name_type = 'Current' and erase John from it.
How can I accomplish this in Oracle forms using a button-pressed trigger?

Hi,
Simple, using current values you can create new id , 'old' and name so oracle will create record, now refresh block, next using next_record in loop you can find record,erase one and refresh block.

hi
try something like this.
DECLARE
charWinHandle VARCHAR2(50);
numWinHandle NUMBER;
BEGIN Set_Application_Property(Cursor_Style,'BUSY');
charWinHandle := Get_Item_Property('Control.Rep',Window_Handle);
numWinHandle := To_Number(charWinHandle);
:Item('Control.CrystalReport1').OCX.Crystal.Crysta lReport.WindowParentHandle
:= numWinHandle;
:Item('Control.CrystalReport1').OCX.Crystal.Crysta lReport.WindowState := 2;
:Item('CONTROL.CRYSTALREPORT1').OCX.Crystal.Crysta lReport.Connect
:= 'DSN=;UID=' || Get_Application_Property(UserName) ||
';pwd=' || Get_Application_Property(password) || ';dsq=;';
Crystal_CrystalCtrl.ReportFileName( :Item('Control.CrystalReport1').interface,
'C:\Sample_Rep.Rpt' );
Set_Window_Property( Forms_Mdi_Window, Window_State,Maximize );
Set_Window_Property( 'MAIN', Window_State, Maximize );
:reptitle := 'Report Preview Window';
numWinHandle := Crystal_CrystalCtrl.PrintReport( :Item('Control.CrystalReport1').interface );
Set_Application_Property(Cursor_Style,'DEFAULT');
END;NOTE: Change the report name and path according to your required file name and path in
the "Crystal_CrystalCtrl.ReportFileName" method call. Also, the connection string shown
assumes that you will use the current USER and PASSWORD for the Form.
- To make the above Form generic so that you can run any Crystal report from it, then create
a parameter for the report name and pass it to the Form using CALL_FORM from any other Form.
Then just replace the file name with the passed parameter.
-. Run the Form
If its correct/helpful please mark it thanks.
