Hi,
The "What's New" release notes is somewhat misleading. However, what was released in SP2 is a framework called Custom Data Provider framework which has extension points for a developer to build new plug-ins which can facilitate in accessing different data sources. I suggest you reading:
http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir31SP2/en/xi31_sp2_cdp_dev_en.pdf

Image not displayed in pdf generated using Java API for Forms service

Hi,
I am creating a pdf document using Java API for Forms Service.
I am able to generate the pdf but the images are not visible in the generated pdf.
The image relative path is coming in the xml as defined below. The images are stored dynamically in the Livecycle repository each time a request is fired with unique name before the xml is generated.
<imageURI xfa:contentType="image/png" href="../Images/logo.png"></imageURI>
Not sure if I need to specify specify specific URI values that are required to render a form with image.
The same thing is working when I generate pdf document using Java API for Output Service.
As, I need to generate interactive form, I have to use Forms service to generate pdfs.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Below is the code snippet:
            //Create a FormsServiceClient object
            FormsServiceClient formsClient = new FormsServiceClient(myFactory);
            //Specify URI values that are required to render a form
            URLSpec uriValues = new URLSpec();
                              // Template location contains the whole rpository path for the form
            uriValues.setContentRootURI(templateLocation);
           // The base URL where form resources such as images and scripts are located. Whole Image path is passed in BaseUrl in the http format.
                  String baseLocation = repositoryPath.concat(serviceName).concat(imagesPath);
                              uriValues.setBaseURL(baseLocation);
            // Set run-time options using a PDFFormRenderSpec instance
            PDFFormRenderSpec pdfFormRenderSpec = new PDFFormRenderSpec();
            pdfFormRenderSpec.setCacheEnabled(new Boolean(true));
            pdfFormRenderSpec.setAcrobatVersion(com.adobe.livecycle.formsservice.client.AcrobatVersio n.Acrobat_8);
                              //Invoke the renderPDFForm method and write the
            //results to a client web browser
            String tempTemplateName =templateName;
            FormsResult formOut = formsClient.renderPDFForm(tempTemplateName,
                                          inXMDataTransformed,pdfFormRenderSpec,uriValues,null);
            //Create a Document object that stores form data
            Document outputDocument = formOut.getOutputContent();
            InputStream inputStream = outputDocument.getInputStream();

How to use css in oracle forms

Hello, I am using oracle forms 11g with weblogic server 10.3.5 at windows 7.I have to use CSS in oracle forms.i have tried to search it but no profit.please some one else tell me that how can use css in oracle forms. Thnak You regards aaditya

Hi
As Francois pointed out Oracle forms has nothing to do with html based technology. The way you can get the equivalent effect of creating consistancy in the way your objects are displayed is by creating a set of items you want and alter their apperance and behaviour and place them into object libraries (one library should do the trick). From there you subclass all of you forms items off these libraries.

How to use java api for function activity in embed oracle workflow?

because i can't install standalone oracle workflow successfully.
pls tell me how to use java api for function activity in embed oracle workflow?
are there some patch or pulg-in package?
ths a lot...........

The Java Function Activity Agent is not certified for Oracle Workflow embedded in Oracle Applications. Installing standalone workflow should be a lot easier than what you have found, although it looks like you did hit a Pentium 4 issue with the Oracle Universal Installer. I suggest you contact Oracle Support or Oracle Consulting for assistance.

Where I can find documentations on how to use MyComponse API ?

Where I can find documentation on how to use MyComponse API ?
Any example ?
Thanks

not 100% sure at which point the callout to BEFOREPROCESSCOMPOSE is done, but during the process logs phase, the data in the CVR$ tables is copied into the clg$ tables, and the cvr$ table dml flags cleared
unles the query is very complex/long running why not join the clg$ tables (only have the data that has changed, so smaller than the cvr$ tables, to your base tables for determining if relevant within the MyCompose needCompose method?
an example from one of our MyCompose classes is
public int needCompose(Connection conn, String clientid) throws Throwable{
boolean baseDirty = false;
Statement st = conn.createStatement();
String sql = null;
int rowCount = 0;
int fetchCount = 0;
ResultSet rows;
// log user
// sql = "INSERT INTO qpub_log (TIMESTMP,message) "
// + " values (sysdate, '" + clientid + " assd' )";
// rowCount += st.executeUpdate(sql);
// need to compose if there are any relevant changes to assessment details FOR
// TIR / SOLO assessments
// Inspection history checklists
// PIJ marking sheets
// INSSI
// Risk Assessment)
// also changes to (in case of underlying alterations causing data to be withdrawn)
// STATUS_LOGS
// ROLE_ASSGNTS
if(this.baseTableDirty("CDB_OWNER", "ASSESSMENT_DETAILS")){
return oracle.lite.sync.MyCompose.YES;
if(this.baseTableDirty("CDB_OWNER", "STATUS_LOGS")){
sql = "SELECT count(clg.context_key) "

rows = st.executeQuery(sql);
rows.next();
fetchCount = rows.getInt(1);
if (fetchCount != 0) {

How to use LDAP with Oracle forms 10g on Oracle application server

Hi,
I need some help on this. I have developed oracle forms 10g on application server 9iAS. The client want to use the existing LDAP authentication to the software we wrote. I do not know how I could configure to use the existing LDAP authentication . If anyone know how would I use the existing LDAP on different server to use when they logon to our menu in 10g to validate the user. Do I need to add any varibales in formweb.cfg or any other method. Please help.
Thanks
Luksh

I am not quite sure if this works out of the box. According to an Oracle FAQ:
4.2 Can I use LDAP to authenticate Forms Services?
Not directly. However, Oracle Login Server is able to authenticate against a LDAP directory and thus a Forms application can take advantage of this in a SSO environment. But you cannot use access control information stored in a LDAP directory with Forms.

Heya Waleed,
I use spry to create an autocomplete form that works great across browsers that have javascript enabled. You can store info in a database and parse the info to xml for a dynamic approach. Take a look at the filter examples in spry.

Using HRMS APIs in Forms 6i

I am trying to build a custom Form that modifies inserts or modifies data in the Oracle HRMS system. To do this I thought the APIs would be the best tool because they would preserve the integrity of the system as a last guard if all of my checks on the data failed to catch something.
I am having problems implementing this idea. I have what essentially amount to wrapper functions that take the dataset I am dealing with and send it off through the various APIs needed to place it in the propper location. Insertion of new data is compiling ok, but when I try to compile a package with a procedure in it that utalizes and update (HR_PERSON_API.UPDATE_US_PERSON) I get the following error:
Implementation Restriction: 'HR_API.G_NUMBER':
Cannot directly access remote package variable or cursor
To simplify the problem I took the procedure out of the program unit in the form and made it a stand alone and also stripped it down to just the bare minimum passing in dummy data most of the time and only using local variables rather than objects. I end up with the following code:
procedure update_person is
start_date date;
end_date date;
full_name varchar2(300);
comment_id number;
comb_warning boolean;
ass_warning boolean;
pay_warning boolean;
emp_number varchar2(200);
object_version number;
begin
object_version := 10;
emp_number := 1210;
hr_person_api.update_us_person(
p_effective_date => to_date('02-apr-2006', 'dd-mon-yyy'),
     p_datetrack_update_mode => 'UPDATE',
     p_person_id => 2852,
     p_object_version_number => object_version,
     p_employee_number => emp_number,
     p_effective_start_date => start_date,
     p_effective_end_date => end_date,
     p_full_name => full_name,
     p_comment_id => comment_id,
     p_name_combination_warning => comb_warning,
     p_assign_payroll_warning => ass_warning,
     p_orig_hire_warning => pay_warning
end;
This gives me the error from above. If I try to create the same procedure in the database itself using a utility like TOAD and the same information to log in to the database I get no such compile error and only get errors when I run the procedure as all the values are dummy and don't actually map to anything.
Information on my version of forms builder, the db, and the application:
Forms [32 Bit] Version 6.0.8.27.0
RDBMS : 9.2.0.6.0
Oracle Applications : 11.5.8
Forms Server
Oracle Forms Version : 6.0.8.25.2
Application Object Library : 11.5.0
I have literaly been on this same problem the entire day and anyone that can help me I would reall apreciate it. At this point I am at a loss. I suspect either I am making the call to the API incorrectly, or it is simply not possible to do what I am trying to do. I hope I am just doing something wrong because as I understood it, one of the points of the API was to allow custom forms to do validated insertion of data.
thanks for any help
Andrew

Your approach of using published APIs is absolutely the best / supported mechanism to propgramatically enter data into HRMS.
This is a long-known issue when calling APIs from Forms - you are not supplying values for all of the parameters that this API exposes, thus the package defaults will be evaluated but these fail over a RPC call.
To work around simply supply all the API parameters with a value to avoid defaulting. So, for those that you do not actually wish to set you can set up a local constant(s) within the form, defined with the same definition as hr_api.g_number, g_varchar2 etc (check the db package specification for these), and pass them explicitly in your call together with those that you are setting currently.

How to use custom API's

Hi All,
In OIM how can i use my own/Custom API"S. Wher do i need to place the Jar/Class files. Like in other Identity Management tools (I only have the experience of SUN) you can place the files under WEB-INF/lib or WEB-INF/classes and then can easily use them, does OIM provides this/similar kind of functionality and how we can use that.

Hi,
If you want to use custom API to create adapter then put the jar file in <OIM_Install>/xellerate/Java Task/
folder and if you want to use them to create task Schedular then put it in <OIM_Install>/xellerate/Schedular/

How to use Stored Procedures in form 6i Blocks

Dear Friends,
I would like to know how to use Stored Procedures while creating blocks in Data Block Wizard in forms 6i application.
Please send me sample code of stored procedure.
Regards,
Khader.

The Data Block Wizard is not for creating stored procedures. It will allow you to use a stored procedure in your form. See the help documentation for how to use the wizard.
Here's an example of a simple procedure. If you search the database forum or the web, you will find many examples.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE procedure_name (value OUT NUMBER ) AS
BEGIN
SELECT COUNT(*) INTO value
FROM your_table;
END;

How to Use Captcha in Flash Forms

Hi, does anyone knows how to use a captcha in flash forms
I am using Coldfusion 7 not version 8.
Please Guide Me
Cheers

> CF response
You said you needed help with ActionScript. What I gave you
is ActionScript.
Coldfusion has no built-in method called
match. You should use REMatch(reg_expression, string) or
REMatchNoCase(reg_expression, string), assuming you're on CF 8, of
course.
