How to open a form from Oracle XML Report .xls Output?

Hi All,
We have a requirement wherein we have one complex SQL query, requirement is to fetch the data from that query and show it to the user. So far, so good. We can either create a report thru' UTL file to show the output to the user or can create a XML report whose output can be in the excel format.
Now user wants to have a hyperlink i.e. when he clicks the BSA (Blanket Sales Agreement) from the report output, it should be able to route him to BSA screen (oracle form), so that he can directly correct the issue with that corresponding BSA on which he clicked.
i.e. requirement is to create a a hyperlink from report output which will route the user to that oracle form with the BSA queried.
Not sure how can we implement this. If anybody has come across this type of requirement, please share your ideas and the approach used so as to accomplish this. Any inputs on this will be highly appreciated.
Cheers!

Hello Sumir,
we create reports in an XML format using http://matzberger.de/oracle/spreadsheet-en.html.
Within these files you can create hyperlinks to a forms application like
http://<applicationserver>/forms/frmservlet?config=xy&p_autoinit_module=ab&p_autoinit_arg=123
With these parameters we call a default forms module (welcome screen) and then start module ab and execute a query for 123. The user then can directly access the data he needs.

How to open .cmdrw file from Oracle Forms 10g

Hi,
We need to call *.cmdrw* file from Oracle forms 10g. Is there any way to call *.cmdrw* file from Oracle forms 10g?
Thanks for the help.
Viishnu Nekkanti

In case you want to open a .cmdrw with its associated application you can use the following procedure:
webutil_host.NonBlocking( 'rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler ' || client_filename );This works for every file where a program has been associated to its file extension. (Adobe Reader for *.pdf, Microsoft Word for *.doc, Microsoft Excel for *.xls and so on)

How to populate a form from an xml file with multiple records

I want to be able to create a single form that will add pages as needed based upon the number of records being imported from an xml file.
I have an IRS form that does this exactly, but I do not know how to re-create it. I entered data into the form, then exported that data to xml. Then I opened that xml file in excel and added more records (this is just an easy way to manage the xml data in a tabular form). Then I import the changed xml file into the IRS form and it adds as many pages as I have records. Perfect! Unfortunately, I cannot edit the form to examine the technique. It does not appear to be relying upon any additional local javascript files. It does use an 'add page' button which may suggest the form is using the template .spawn() technique, but when I try that in my own form, it gives me unique field names for each page which are then not consistent with the xml data. Hopefully someone can help me understand what I am missing.

did you want
<record>0
<data>"11.97.23.174/32"
<record>address <data>
<record>address <data>
<record>subnet <data>
<record>ip <data>"10.97.23.174"</data></record>
</data></record>
</data></record>
</data></record>
</data></record>
or
<record>0
<data>"11.97.23.174/32"
<record>address <data>
<record>address <data>
<record>subnet <data>
<record>ip <data>"10.97.23.174"</data></record>

How can another persion able to open my forms from another browser

Dear all
I am working on forms 10G.
I have developed a forms and i want another person can able to open my forms from his PC.
How can i do it ?

Sandy,
Oracle Forms 9i and higher are web deployed only. Meaning, for someone else to be able to run your form you will need to deploy your form to the web using an Application Server. The last version of Oracle Forms to support Client/Server mode was Forms 6i. The typical Oracle Forms web deployed environment includes the following:
<ul>
<li>Infrastructure Server
<li>Application Server with Oracle Forms Services
<li>Database Server
</ul>
All of these "Servers" could reside on a single physical computer; they do not have to each be seperate computers. The person you want to have access to your Forms application would need to have access to the application server either through a private network or through the internet.
Hope this helps,
Craig B-)

How to open a page from a Form and pass parameters to the form on that page

I found a similar example on this forum, but it did not work for me:
declare
l_names owa.vc_arr;
l_values owa.vc_arr;
i number;
begin
PORTAL.wwpro_api_parameters.retrieve(l_names, l_values);
FOR i in 1..l_names.count
LOOP
htp.p(l_names(i) || ' ' || l_values(i));
END LOOP;
end;
By using this method i get the parameters for the Form, like the session ID, but not the parameters for the Page that the form is displayed in.
Another method I tried:
To open a Form from a Form and pass parameters works fine like this:
--In the After processing page PL/SQL event.
declare
v_id number;
blk varchar2(10):='DEFAULT';
Begin
v_id:=p_session.get_value_as_number (p_block_name=>blk,p_attribute_name=>'A_ID');
if v_id > 0 then
htp.formOpen('PORTAL.wwa_app_module.link?p_arg_names=_moduleid&p_arg_values=2649500412&p_arg_names=_show_header&p_arg_values=YES&p_arg_names=ID&p_arg_values='||to_char(v_id),'post');
htp.formSubmit(NULL,'Upload Files');
htp.formClose;
end if;
End;
But I want to open a Page containing the Form instead of just opening the Form. Is this possible to open a Page and pass paramters to the page, and then let the form inside the Page access the passed paramters. The reason for this is that a Form cannot be based on a page template, or can it? When opening the form i want to keep the left menu, which I can if it is a page based on my template with the left menu.
Best regards
Halvor

Hi,
You can do this by calling the url of the page with the form. You can then use p_arg_names and p_arg_values to pass parameters. In the called form you can get the value from p_arg_names and p_arg_values and assign it to the form field.
You can call this code in the success procedure of the calling form.
declare
v_id number;
blk varchar2(10):='DEFAULT';
v_url varchar2(2000);
Begin
v_id:=p_session.get_value_as_number (p_block_name=>blk,p_attribute_name=>'A_ID');
v_url := <page_url>;
if v_id > 0 then
call(v_url||'&p_arg_names=id&p_arg_values='||v_id);
end if;
End;
In the called form in "Before displaying form" plsql section write this code.
for i in 1..p_arg_names.count loop
if p_arg_names(i) = 'id' then
p_session.set_value(
p_block_name => blk,
p_attribute_name => 'A_ID',
p_value => p_arg_values(i)
end if;
end loop;
This code picks up the value from p_arg_values and assigns it to the form field.
Hope that helps.
Thanks,
Sharmila

Open a form from a 3rd party Java/Web based application

Hi All,
I am working for a client who has a 3rd party web application built in Java.
For one of his requirements, he wants to open a form, an apps standard form on the click of a button/url in their application.
This appears like a normal form opening from the single-signon screen where you have the self service single sign-on page, it opens the apps forms on click of the url. Can we use the same logic here? This being the case, just curious to know how is the url to open the form built? (I see that the function name, resp id etc are there in the url) So that, I can actually manipulate the url to open the forms from a url. Please see that the custom application also is included into our Oracle apps, so the user is already logged in. We just need to open the form from the click of a url/button.
Thanks,
Srini.
Thanks,
Srini.

If the ICX_SESSION is already available then the form(I am assuming you are refering to a web based form here) should open directly if the function should be accessible to the user logged in. When you say your custom application is included in Oracle apps are you launching these pages from the Ebiz home page through menus and functions ?

My suggestion would be to try converting the form to XML using <10gHome>\bin\frmf2xml.bat, and altering this XML to look like R1 XML. Simply changing the Module version might do the trick, but probably not.
To see the difference between 10gR1 and 10gR2 XML formats, take a reasonably complex R1 form and convert it to XML. Next, upgrade that same form to R2 and convert it to XML. Compare the two XML files.
Applying the knowledge gained from this comparison, modify the XML from your original R2 form. Try converting back to FMB using <10gHome>\bin\frmxml2f.bat Please share your findings with the forum!
Hope this helps,
Eric Adamson

PS: It is assumed that you have access to both 10gR1 and R2 installations!

Frm-92101 happens when I open a form from another form and close it.

Frm-92101 happens when I open a form from another form, check something, show a message to the user and exit the form to the previous form.
Forms version: 10.1.2.0.2. Java: 1.6.0_23. Browser: IE6
When I put before the "EXIT_FORM" two messages, everything is fine and the second form is closed and I repeat to the first form just as I wanted.
In forms 9.0 it didn't happen.
Does it have a connection with the fact I use JRE instead of JInitiator?
Thank you.

>
There are numerous causes of the FRM-92101 error. I recommend you start your investigation by tracing your Forms session so you can see what your form is doing when the error occurs. Check out My Oracle Support document How to Use Forms Trace with Forms [ID 209372.1] for information on how to enable the trace. Also, take a look at My Oracle Support document Known Causes of FRM-92101 Error In Forms [ID 604633.1].

I have just found that there is a "Synchronize" command in one of the main attached libraries, and when I comment that command the application works well. But I don't want to comment it because it's a great library and I assume it has a part in the system.
I have discovered that in the new Forms' help, the fact that the System.Current_Item mustn't be null so the command "Synchronize" will work, is mentioned. In the old Forms' help, that fact is not mentioned.
So I tried to put it inside a condition that checks if the current item is not null, but the compiler doesn't recognize the "current_item". I don't know why. Because it's a library? So how can I check this? I can sent it as a parameter, but I don't want. Do you know something about it? Thank you.

How to debug a form module (Oracle 11G Forms) through URL

How to debug a form module (Oracle 11G Forms) through URL.
My server OS is Unix. So i could not able to do the Debug Forms from the Form Developer.
It is displaying a message that "Cannot find the module". Becuase the system is trying find out the module in Unix system instead of ma local system(Windows).
I need to debug ma module through URL.
I can place the fmb and fmx in predefined form path in Server.
Please help me out to solve this issue..

This is a little unclear. If your goal is to use the Forms Builder Debugger while running your form on a Unix machine, this can be done. However, the form must first be in running order. So before trying to attach the debugger you must first be able to start it without the debugger. For example:
http://yourServer:OHS_port_number/forms/frmservlet?form=yourFMX
Once this is properly running you can turn on debugging. If your form won't even start, then using the Debugger isn't going to help you because it is designed to troubleshoot coding problems and not configuration problems.
So, do this to use the Debugger:
http://yourServer:OHS_port_number/forms/frmservlet?form=yourFMX&debug=yes
This will display a dialog box with some information. Do not click on OK yet as you will need this information to enter into the Forms Builder. Now, open the Forms Builder and click on Debug > Attach Debug. You will be asked for the information displayed in the dialog where you attempted to start the form. Enter it here (in the Builder) then click on ok in both places. To display the Debugger (in the Builder), click on Debug > Debug Console. Then from its toolbar click on the buttons related to what you want to monitor. Including a break point in your application code is often a more helpful way to use the debugger.
Most of this information is explained in the Forms Builder Online Help
Forgot to mention...
To debug runtime issues, refer to the Forms Deployment Guide here (this assumes you are using 11.1.2):
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E38115_01/doc.111210/e24477/appa.htm

On my Mac, when I attempt to open a form from a web site, the Reader does not open. It used to.

On my Mac os 10.6.8, when I attempt to open a form from a web site, the Reader (10.1.2) does not automatically open as it used to. What can I do to correct this problem?

It sounds like your file associations are messed up and Reader is trying to open your .jpg files. Is this correct?
If so, you just need to change the associations to choose what application opens them. Here's how: Change File Associations in Mac OS X
