How to run 11g Form from a batch file (.bat) !

Hi,
Previously, I run my Form 6i from a batch file (with Windows Schedular Tasks) as below;
E:\orant\bin\ifrun60.exe e:\lock.fmx
This form lock some items on a certain date (with the help of Windows Schedular Task).
How can this possible in Forms 11g ?
Kindly guide !
Regards.
Vick.

Well are you talking about doing that on a free standing/developer machine or are you thinking of on the
server? In any case forms6i was a native application and forms11 is a web application that requires weblogic, even on the developer machine.
I think you will have to start from square one describing what you are trying to do.
Soapbox: I really think if forms "went back" to having a native deployment option it would be highly treasured. Here is a case where we are still running 6i for that reason. We have a situation where they interview clients at another location using a laptop. The laptop form brings up successive question screens, which questions are asked of the clients and their responses recorded. If the interview data is lost we cannot bring these people back and do it over. In the meantime the wifi connecting back to the database server can go bad. It can get over-loaded, it can just crap out. The firewalls on the way can decide rightly or wrongly to time the connection out. There's a bunch of ways the connection can get dropped. So what we do is that form saves a copy of the data to the disk in a file before it tries to submit it to the database, which could fail. So we have a backup. Can't easily do that in 11. I have yet to have gotten webutil to work. It's a mobile option that is becoming popular and forms should do it, have the ability for the form to run independently on the client including an ability to save data and of course if you saved it, people will want to be able to sync it back to the database when the client is reconnected.

  • How to run a transaction from a batch file

    Hello All,
    I am trying to run a transaction which has a limit on data it can return so I need to run the transaction in batches. Can that process be automated. Example, lets say I need result for 300 lines but transaction can be only run for 10 lines at a time. Can I create a query or automated process so it is run 30 time automatically and result come out in 30 txt, xls, files?
    Thanks

  • 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>

    or

  • Running universal installer from Dos batch file

    Trying to a script an unattended install for a couple of Oracle client products (namely 9i client and Oracle Workflow Builder). My script runs the relavent setup.exe with a responsefile and silent option. This is working fine but the control is returning from setup.exe before the install has completed. The setup.exe goes on to complete ok but I have no way of controlling when to start the next install in the script. I have tried playing with BOOSTRAP=NO option in the ORAPARAMS.ini file but this does not have any effect. Any ideas anyone?

  • HOW TO: Open SQL Developer from a batch file with specific tables opened

    I use SQL Developer daily as I develop database intensive programs.
    ** Question **
    How can I define a specific configuration of tabs (i.e. tables, procedures, etc) to be opened upon startup of SQL Developer?
    For example, creating a .BAT file to open SQL Developer with a specific set of table tabs already opened. This will save me the time every morning I use to open SQL Developer and configure all the tables I need opened.
    NOTE: I have tried various options of appending a table name to a command line starting sqldeveloper.exe. For example: ..\sqldeveloper.exe mydatabase.mytable. However, this only opens a worksheet tab with the name "mydatabase.mytable" but does not open my actual table.
    Any help will be appreciated.

    what version are you using? Sql Dev 1.5?
    Not an exact answer, but you could try using Table FILTER
    click on your connection
    right button on TABLES
    click apply filter

  • How to run the form that is only installed on a PC and not using a server?

    Hi
    I am new to Oracle and have taken the forms class. But I do not understand how to run the form from my PC using XP windows. (Do not have access to a server).
    I have started the OC4J, made sure the listener was started, compiled the form and then when I run it, it automatically goes to the HTTP:
    ERROR: res://ieframe.dll/acr_depnx_error.htm#,http://kevin:8889/forms/frmservle
    I connected to the database correctly. I can process a report and it does nor try to access the internet. My only issue is running the form. I verified it compiled.
    Sorry for a basic question. Could someone please help, I tried reviewing other questions, but not sure if they are connecting to a server or not.
    I see webutil but is it required if I don't have a server? Thank you in advance.

    Regardless of the version, it appears that you may not have configured the Builder. Do the following:
    1. Open the Builder
    2. From the menu, select Edit > Preferences > Runtime
    3. In the box labeled "Application Server URL:", enter a local URL needed to run a form OR click the button labeled "Reset to Default". If you decide to manually enter a value, it would looks something like this:
    http://localhost:8889/forms/frmservlet
    4. In the field labeled "Web Browser Location:", enter the path and executable to your preferred browser. So for example if IE is your browser of choice the entry would most likely look like this:
    C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE
    5. Click on OK and retest.
    By the way, you can manually enter a URL in the browser. Clicking the RunForm button from the Builder is strictly optional. To run the "test" form directly from the browser enter the following into the browser's address field:
    http://localhost:8889/forms/frmservlet?form=test

    i created a batch file prod.bak with the following lines
    @echo off
    set oracle_sid=testdb
    set oracle_home=d:\oracle\ora92
    sqlplus /nolog
    connect sys as sysdba/oracletest@testdb
    this batch file when eexecuted connects me to sql prompt.
    Now i want to execute my backup script bkp.sql automatically when it is connected to sql prompt.
    (i tried with these lines in the above batch file...
    call bkp.sql---it just opens the bkp.sql file in notepad & displays the script

    connect / as sysdba/pwd@[email protected] --- does not work simply remains a the sql prompt.

    Thanks
    Tripti

    Try
    sqlplus "sys/oracletest as sysdba" @bpk.sql
    Working locally, and having set the ORACLE_SID, you don't need to specify the SqlNet alias (@testdb).
    Remember to put an exit at the end of the bpk.sql script.

  • How to Run a form in Web browser?!

    Hi,
    1- Is it possible to run a .fmx file in web browser? if yes how to do so?
    if no. what do I need to do to make it possible?
    Many thanks

    Forms 6i and above yes it is possible.
    Forms 6i can be deployed both web and client/server, but 9i and above is only for web deployment.
    If you want to deploy for testing purposes you can run the forms from the forms builder using OC4J Instance, but for production deployment you need to have OAS, Oracle Application Server.

  • How to call a form from WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT 10g  Is this possible?????

    how to call a form from WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT
    I would like to call a form using the WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT the idea is from the menu that is attached to the form instead of use call_form use WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT(...my_newform.fmx)
    Is this possible?????

    Hi ,
    I think yes...but under some circumstances....
    In your formsweb.cfg file you should define a named configuration alias... such as:
    [TEST]
    workingDirectory=C:\TEST_DIR
    form=C:\TEST_DIR\MY_NEWFORM.FMX
    Then , after stopping , starting your OC4J instance..... you call that as (in a button , for example):
    web.show_document('http:<your_server>:<port>/forms/frmservlet?config=[TEST]',_blank);
    I have not tested it.....

  • How to run java program from website?

    Hello
    I'd like to know how to run java program from my web page.
    I'd like to push some button in this web page so java program that would be on my server
    would pop-up. Can it be done automaticaly upon running this web site? (without any buttons - I just enter website and program pops up).
    Cheers

    I rather thought about RMI. But I could try servlets. So how it would look like?.
    I would make http request in browser (enter address) and program would show up in its window?. And I would not have to change anything in my program?. This program would run then on both boxes?. One remotely and one not?.
    But I would have to learn some basics, I've never worked with servlets. Could you suggest some good sites about it?. With ready examples so I could tweak them to my purpose.
