I need to use RTF on forms and reports

I need an RTF (Rich Text Format) text field, in wich I can copy and paste from other programs (like word), save on a db, and then print using a report. How can I do, please?

The "user agent" (for browsers) is how the receiver determines the senders browser. It is easily faked to make the receiver "happy". The only problems I can think of is that now the receiver might be using some flavor of HTML that the sender's browser cannot fully handle resulting in possible display or other problems.

Is there any default calendar which I can use on my form and report

Hi All,
Is there any default calendar which I can use on date field on my form and report.

or any other way.
thanks
mohan

hi
create a functions something like this.i hope it helps u.
function call_calender ( f_dtm_set in date default sysdate ) return date is
l_dtm date;
l_list paramlist := get_parameter_list ( 'CALL_CALENDER' );
begin
if
not id_null ( l_list )
then
destroy_parameter_list ( l_list );
end if;
if
trunc ( f_dtm_set ) != trunc ( sysdate ) --> if you call the calendar function with a date, the calendar will change to that date
then
l_list := create_parameter_list ( 'CALL_CALENDER' );
add_parameter ( l_list, 'DTM_SET', text_parameter, to_char ( f_dtm_set, 'dd/mm/yyyy' ) );
end if;
copy ( null, 'global.calender_date' ); --> create a null global
call_form ( 'form_name', no_hide, no_replace, no_query_only, l_list );
if
not id_null ( l_list )
then
destroy_parameter_list ( l_list );
end if;
if
name_in ( 'global.calender_date' ) is not null --> if the global is not null, give the choosen item back
then
l_dtm := to_date ( name_in ( 'global.calender_date' ), 'dd/mm/yyyy' );
end if;
erase ( 'global.calender_date' );
return ( l_dtm );
end;sarah

I am using the portal forms and reports in the locally built providers and

need to find a way to use a dynamic LOV for select and then submit retrieve the data in a report. Anu help would be greatly appreciated.

If you accept a very basic form parameter, you can use the form automatically generated by any report component. Before, you have to create dynamic LOVs and map these LOVs to your parameters in report definition.
If you need a sophisticated parameters form (saying a "nice" form), you have to design either a regular form component (based on a dummy procedure which will call the report you made with the parameters), or a dynamic page which will call the same report. In this last case, (the better choice in my opinion) , you can embedd calls to package utility(portal.wwv_ui_lovf.show) which generates dynamic LOVs, inside the <oracle> tag.

Need help with installing Developer (Forms and Reports)

During installation the installer complains that I will need to stop any services that are trying to access Oracle Dlls. I can't seem to find what services are trying to use the dlls. The problem occurs at install stage when copying "core40.dll" and "NL80.dll". I am unable to complete the installation because of this.
It also claims that I can use a program called "oradim80.exe" to stop these services, but it does not appear to be on any of my disks.

Rave,
Thanks for the reply.
I have looked at those permissions and either set them or confirmed to myself that they were correct at least 4 times in this crusade so far.
I did find a folder named SLStore_v1 which appears to be empty. Anything there? Should the 2 folders where permissions were set have contents?
I am, currently, re-downloading PSCC. It is going very slowly. I'll see what happens when that is complete or has failed as it has times in the past.
Does the downloading need to happen when I have invoked the Root User? Or, is it the running and set up that's important there?

Unc share for forms OAS10G 10202 (forms and reports only deployment)

Hi
I need to put the executables for my application on a uinc share \\hostsname\directory but when I do this and restart the http server using AS control i can no longer access the app and get FRM-40010 cannot find form
I think all i need to do is start the HTTP server as a domain user (who has access to the network share where the forms are)
In 9iAS i could simply stop the HTTP windows service and start it as a prviliged user
How do i do this using 10G (10202) forms and report using AS Control?
Cheers
Steve

Thanks for this post Andrea. I would never have figured this out without additional reading...
So, does that mean that version 10.1.2 is the latest to have Forms and Reports Services...i'm downloading the documentation and it looks like they have a Forms and Reports Installation guide in that version.
Have you gone through an upgrade from Forms/Reports 6i?

Do Oracle Developer Suite contains Oracle AS with Forms and Reports?

Dear All,
I am having Oracle Developer Suite 10g.
Using that i can design and test Oracle reports.
Then do i need Oracle Application Server with Forms and Reports to deploy it?
Do Developer Suite contains Application Server with Forms and Reports?
How to test whether the report will run inside an application server?
If i am having Developer Suite and still do i need to install Oracle AS with Forms and Reports?
DO revert.
Thanks in advance.
-Sameer

Hi Sameer,
Q1 Iam having Oracle Developer Suite 10g.
Using that i can design and test Oracle reports.
Then do i need Oracle Application Server with Forms and Reports to deploy it?
Yes you need Oracle Application Server to deploy forms /reports.There are 2 types . One containing only forms and reports services
Two containing forms, reports services, portal and many
other product services.
So if you want to deploy only forms and reports then choose the first one
Q2 Do Developer Suite contains Application Server with Forms and Reports?
No. It contains a light component called OC4j. With this u can test the forms and reports in browser
Q3How to test whether the report will run inside an application server?
If you test it with developer suite, it should run fine with AS
Q4 If i am having Developer Suite and still do i need to install Oracle AS with Forms and Reports?
Pls note that Developer suite doesnt have any AS. And it has a light weight OC4J which is only for testing purpose. So u need to have AS for the deployment.

Is forms and reports still supported in the latest 10g AS?

I've installed the latest version of 10g AS the other day, and it looks like there is no support for forms and reports... is that true? I cant find the functionality for the forms and reports server, and when I download the new developer suite it looks like forms and reports are not included anymore... what version of the AS is everyone using for its forms and reports services???
Thanks in advance.
Mo

Which version was that?
10g is just part of a marketing brand. When discussing actual products or components we need to be more specific.
The latest version of AS that I know of that includes the Forms and Reports servers is 10.1.2. Actually 10.1.2.0.2, and that may depend on platform as well. This is a "base version".
Read one of the recent threads, where I posted a bit more info:

How to have RAC accept Forms and Reports connection to non specific node?

Hi all,
I have posted this in the Forms forum w/ no result, hoping someone here can help;
Oracle Forms and Reports services, not the entire app server. Version 10.1.2.0.2, one server
Oracle database, RAC Version 11.1.0.6.0, 3 nodes
Instance=RMSTEST
Nodes = RMSTEST1, RMSTEST2, RMSTEST3
I can TNSPING RMSTEST w/o issue
When I have userid in formsweb.cfg = user/pw@RMSTEST we are being prompted when logging into forms and reports to supply the password for the RMSTEST instance, enter the password and we are in.
So we changed this in formsweb.cfg = user/pw@RMSTEST? (?= any of the nodes 1-3) and the password prompt is no longer being requested.
What do I need to do to have Forms and Reports connect to the RMSTEST cluster directly for it to determine which node to connect to instead of having an unbalanced node(s)?
Thanks,
Steve

This is what I have;
RMSTEST =

Forms and Reports 10g run on the other client machine

Dear Sir,
Please tell me how to run forms/reports which is compiled/build in ORACLE 10g.
I mean that I have build some forms and reports in Oracle 10g now I want to run them on another client machine without creating oracle application server. Is there any way to run
As example in oracle 6.0 i we only install forms and reports services at client machine and ours froms/ reports are running. Can we do so in 10g also ??
Please guide me about it.
Ghulam Yassen

without creating oracle application server. That is not possible. Forms 10 only runs in web mode, so you need the OAS with the Forms and Reports sever (OAS Enterprise Edition) or the Forms and Reports 10g stand alone server.
in oracle 6.0 i we only install forms and reports services at client machineForms 6i was the last version that you can run in client/server mode.

Getting error while creating form and report on webservice: ORA-20001: Unable to create form on table. ORA-02263: need to specify the datatype for this column.

i am using the following description to create a web service reference:

I tick the checkbox (url)in report Parameter

I get the following error
ORA-20001: Unable to create form on table. ORA-02263: need to specify the datatype for this column.
Please someone help to solve this as i need to fix it urgently.

i exported the application from apex.oracle.com and imported it to our environment
import went fine, but when I ran the IR page I got
ORA-20001: get_dbms_sql_cursor error ORA-00904: : invalid identifier
evidently the problem is a lack of public execute on DBMS_LOB, which is used in the generated IR source.
while waiting for the DBA to grant privs on DBMS_LOB, changing the dbms_lob.getlength call to length() fixes the IR.
however, i am not getting the download link on the associated form page... changed templates, that's not the issue -- we'll see if that's a dbms_lob issue as well

Looks like there is a 127-column limit on the number of report columns supported when using that wizard. Do you have more than that?

Need information re: differences b/w Forms and Reports 6i

Hello,
Hope someone in this forum can help me on this issue (and forgive my naivete wrt techical terms)...the ITS department within my company currently has an Oracle 8i db and an 8i AS. We have Forms (and Reports) 6i currently installed on the 8i AS but have not had need to use those as yet (we are mostly using financial apps). We are looking to upgrade to a 9i db (in add'n to the 8i) and possibly, to a 9i AS as well--and begin using Forms, Reports, Designer and Discoverer. My question is--could someone explain to me if what is commonly referred to as Forms 6i (and Reports, Designer, Discoverer 6i) are currently "bundled" in the Oracle 9i Developer Suite? I guess my (sub) question is: does the 9i Developer Suite have a higher version of 6i (i.e. 6.0.1) than what one would use with against an 8i db on the 8i AS? I see in the literature for Oracle 9i Developer Suite: Oracle Forms Developer, Oracle Designer, Oracle Reports Developer, and Oracle Discoverer (Admin). I've tried going through Oracle documentation but can't seem to find concrete answers.
Thank you very much in advance for anyone who can help me figure this out!
-Karen

Oracle9i Developer Suite contains the latest versions of Oracle Forms/Reports - namely Oracle9i Forms and Oracle9i Reports - both can work with an Oracle8i Database (see metalink.oracle.com).
Oracle Forms 6i and Oracle Reports 6i are part of the older version of Oracle9iDS known as Oracle Internet Developer Suite. They can work with Oracle9i Database as well as Oracle9i Database.
Forms 6i works with Oracle9iAS v1.0.2 and Oracle9i Forms works with Oracle9iAS v2.
I hope this clears things for you.

Can I use forms and reports 6I runtime for production environment?

I have a doubt.
I know if i use or install developer (forms and reports 6I) both, runtime and builder, I do require a license.
But If I buy the standard edition license for database (in production or deployment), and I wanna use the runtimes (from forms and reports) only as runtime not to modify or develop anything, is it possible? just to download it or install it in RUNTIME mode?
Is it possible and legal?
Thanks

Can I download that developer and install both forms and report runtime (yes only runtime) to access a licensed standard edition database? The problem is, you can't download that version any more! All download links to Forms version earlier that 10g R2 have been removed from Oracle's web site. You might still be able to download Forms 6i from My Oracle Support, but this requires a paid license agreement with Oracle to access My Oracle Support (formerly Metalink).
So, if you already have a copy of Oracle Developer Forms and Reports 6i then all you need to do is contact your local Oracle Sales Representative to get an official answer to your licensing question. If you don't have a copy of Forms 6i, then you are pretty much out of luck unless you know someone who has a copy!
