How to open up Forms and navigate to record with external hyperlink?

Hello,
I was wondering whether it is possible to open up a Forms Application, and navigate to a specific Form and record via an external hyperlink. For example in an e-mail a hyperlink is generated which should redirect the user directly into the application and to the correct Form and record ID.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Regards

I suppose this is theoretically possible. The hard part would be to figure out how to pass the equivalent of a ParamList or a Global Variable to a form from a web page. Then you could test for these ParamList or Global values in the called form and navigate to the desired Form and query a specific record. I've seen some demo's on OTN where they embedded a Form into a Web Page and was able to interact between the web page and the form and vis-versus. Unfortunately, I can't remember where I saw the demo, but it was just recently that I saw it. If you can find this demo, it might give you some ideas how to do what you are trying to do.
Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Figures, as soon as I post my response, I found the article. Here's the link: http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/wilfred-adf-forms.html (Integrating Forms with Oracle ADF Faces).

  • How to open a form and close another one

    hi,
    I wish to open a form from another, and then close the calling form. In other words, having FORM1 and FORM2, FORM1 should do this:
    OPEN_FORM ('FORM2',ACTIVATE,SESSION);
    EXIT_FORM(NO_COMMIT,NO_VALIDATE);
    but I cant get this to work. As FORM1 is modal, it opens FORM2 but its still open. Changing the order of the two statements only cause FORM1 to be closed. Can I perform the two operations from within FORM1, avoiding to put the EXIT_FORM statement in FORM2?
    thank you

    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,

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

  • I opened my form and downloaded the form to post on my website... but the submit button is not working.

    What am I doing wrong? The first time I created my form I used Acrobat and the FormsCentral embedded in the program. The original form was working, but I had to make some changes to it. I can't get FormCentral to launch within Acrobat anymore. I loaded my new form (with the changes) to Forms Central through the browser interface, yet when I open the form and download the form to post the posted form does not work. Help!

    Hi,
    if it's ok for you, people can send a email at your adress, it's enough to use (translated from German-DW):
    Insert -> email link. In my DW it looks lik this:
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    <head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
    <title>eMail</title>
    </head>
    <body>
    <a href="mailto:[email protected]">eMail</a>
    </body>
    </html>
    The users click into the word "eMail" your eMail-program wil start.
    Naturally there are som other ways, like this for example:
    <td width="35%"><input id="send" type="submit" name="Submit" value="send" />
    I suggest first try or test the easy way.

    Dear Aamir,
    Please copy TNSNAMES.ORA file from your Database Home/NETWORK/ADMIN directory and copy that in NETWORK/ADMIN directory where you installed Forms/Reports 6i. then you can connect to your server by using SID as host string like: system/manager@<SID example: ORCL>
