Displaying Icons in 10g runtime (On Linux RHEL 5)

Hi, I've read several threads on here about displaying Icons in 10g runtime.
Currently, I am able to get the Icons to work on my localhost Windows machine and the icons display fine.
However, my icons are not displaying when I copy them over to the Linux machine. My forms compile correctly. I've made sure they were case-sensitive.
I modified the Registry.dat file to point to the path where I so tried the icons (in my case, /home/OraHome_1/yb/ico, where I've put all my icons in a file called icons.jar).
I also modified the default.env file to point the CLASSPATH to this directory as well.
Am I missing something on Linux, because this works on Windows.
Thanks,
Chris

I do not remember making changes to the CLASSPATH, either way it would be good that you double check your steps against the metalink note 232413.1 - How to Deploy Iconic Images via a JAR File in Forms 9i/10g.
As a reference, you can also take a look at this thread icons not displaying in oracle forms.

Icons for 10g R2

Anyone know where I can find some icons that will work with Forms 10g R2 (preferably free)?
I have a Forms 4.5 app that I'm upgrading to 10g, I used an ico to gif converter but when I try to use the gif nothing shows up on the buttons. I know the path is right because if I put a gif icon that I have from another 10g app into the same jar file and it shows up.

I don't know of any problems with gif's not showing up in forms.
For icons, there are the ones used by the forms-generator from orace-disgner under <oracle_home>\cgenf61\ADMIN\ICONS\PC

Icons in 10g forms

Hi Everybody..
I want display iconic buttons in forms 10g.... I've searched this forum and read webicons.pdf as well. I followed the speciifed steps, but it doesn't work
I followed following steps.
1. created jar file for my .jpg files
2. added jar file to orahome\forms\java
3. added the jar file name to formsweb.cfg
4. changed imagebase=codebase
5. jar file loaded successfully as shown in java console....
But Icon not displayed on button
Anybody plz help
Regards

Hi,
The default format for icons is gif. You will need to change your [orahome]\forms\java\oracle\forms\Registry.dat
default.icons.iconpath=
default.icons.iconextension=jpgThis will change the default format. If you want to change it for a specific Named Configuration within your formsweb.cfg then create a [serverApp].dat file in the same directory and replace "default" with [serverApp]. Use iconpath if you have any internal directory structure within your jar file eg /icons.

Displaying icons in 10g web forms

Hi,
I was wondering if there is anyway I could use my jar file to display my images in my form. I created a jar file with images and I want to use them for my forms. The problem is other developers are using their own images from certain directories. In the registry.dat file they have a directory default.icons.iconpath=/icons/ already in place and in the .cfg file they have imageBase=DocumentBase. In my configuration for my form i put in imagebase=codebase but it seems that the other entry overrides mine because the images do not appear.Is there any way I could use my jar file to view my images without changing what other developers are using or would I have to put them in the directory with all the other ones.
thanks
Richie

Hi,
I've tried putting the jar file in the directory it mentions in the registry.dat file but that still does not work. I've also tried leaving the parameter in the .dat file blank and setting my imagebase=codebase and i am able to see the icons. My problem is that other developers are already using it using the documentbase and setting the .dat to a specific folder. I just thought there might be a way to read my jar file without interfering with the way the others are displaying their images. Its easier to have all my icons in a jar file then putting them all in a directory.
thanks
Richie

Icons in 10g form

I have 2 oracle applications that I am converting to Forms 10.1.2.0.2. These 2 applications share some icons that are .gif files. In one application the icons appear the correct size, but in the other application the icons appear smaller and run off to the left of the buttons. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!
Shellie

Hi,
Is your problem solved?
This issue occurs because gif images by default are not still images. These are graphical interchange images, i.e. images depicting some kind of action/motion.
If I am not wrong then just to test this out if you open the gif image you are looking at, in pbrush then image will appear in a corner. Now if you modify that image such that you copy only the icon in the corner and then save the copied icon in a new file in gif format then you will be able to see that image in the centre of button, rather over complete button.
Hope this helps!

Forms 10G equivalent of FORMS60_PATH

Hi:
In Forms 6i C/S we can put things like pll's, object libraries etc... in the FORMS60 path in the registry which is one of the places that forms looks when a form that has such modules attached to it, is run.
I have specified my menu module in the form module property, but it cannot find it when I run the form.
Does forms 10g have a similar location ? If so what is it ?
I also need to customise my icons where does it look for icons in 10g ? UI_ICON Registry setting ? like 6i ?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
N.

In Forms 9i and 10g this is called FORMS90_PATH.
You should set this environment variable in the default.env file or your own (application specific) .env file.
You can also set the WorkingDirectory variable (in Formsweb.cfg) to point to your directory with executables (WorkingDirectory has priority over FORMS90_PATH)

ICONIC BUTTONS IN FORMS 10G

Hi,
I am trying to make a button iconic in Forms 10g,button icons are displayed.
I have tried the following workarounds but no couldn't make it possible:
1. I gave absolute path of icon file.
2. tried .ico and .gif format images as well.
I am using Linux OS. iDS 10g.
Regards,

If I understand you are looking for displaying icons at runtime.
Have a look at the following link:

hi
1 How to Display Iconic Images Using Forms 9.0.x/ 10.x?
When running an Oracle Forms 9i/10g application the icon files used must be in a web enabled
format such as JPG or GIF (GIF is the default format) (This is unlike older versions of forms running in client-server mode when the file format is .ico.)
Icon image files can either be retrieved by Forms as individual files on the filesystem or from a Java Archive (JAR file).
If an application uses lots of icon images it is recommended that they are stored in a JAR file to reduce the number of HTTP round trips.
Reference:Note 232413.1 How to Deploy Iconic Images via a JAR File in Forms 9i/10g?
The example below details steps to configure iconic images as individual gif or jpeg files.
It is a first approach recommended for initial testing and understanding.
Example:
========
This document has been written for use with both Windows and UNIX operating systems: Windows will use the "\" character to delimit directories and UNIX uses the "/" character. Any other differences are noted in the document.
1) Determine the physical location of the icons on your web server. For this example, assume that the icons are stored in D:\Myfiles\icons.
2) Create the virtual directory in the forms90.conf file that point to the location of your Forms 9i/10g icons. This file is located in:
$ORACLE_HOME\forms90\server\forms90.conf
To define a virtual directory forms90/icons, use the following syntax:
# Virtual path for ICONS (used to show icons in a form ) AliasMatch ^/forms90/icons/(..*) "D:\Myfiles/icons/$1"
Below is an example of the forms90.conf after it has been modified to include the /forms90/icons virtual directory.
# Virtual path mapping for Forms Java jar and class files (codebase) AliasMatch ^/forms90/java/(..*) "E:\IASR2\APP/forms90/java/$1" # Virtual path for JInitiator downloadable executable and download page AliasMatch ^/forms90/jinitiator/(..*) "E:\IASR2\APP/jinit/$1" # Virtual path for runform.htm (used to run a form for testing purposes) AliasMatch ^/forms90/html/(..*) "E:\IASR2\APP/tools/web90/html/$1"
# Virtual path for ICONS (used to show icons in a form ) AliasMatch ^/forms90/icons/(..*) "D:\Myfiles/icons/$1"
( For 10g use instead of "forms90" -> "forms")
3) Direct forms to use the /forms90/icons or /forms/icons virtual directory when running on the web by modifying the Registry.dat file in the $ORACLE_HOME\forms90\java\oracle\forms\registry or $ORACLE_HOME\forms\java\oracle\forms\registry
directory. Note that for UNIX, both the path name and file name are case sensitive. You must specify "Registry.dat".
Modify the default.icons.iconpath entry as follows: default.icons.iconpath=http:///forms90/icons/ or default.icons.iconpath=http:///forms/icons/
If the URL used to bring up forms on the web is: http://abc.oracle.com:7778/forms90/f90servlet or http://abc.oracle.com:7778/forms/frmservlet
Then the entry required for the Registry.dat will be: default.icons.iconpath=http://abc.oracle.com:7778/forms90/icons or default.icons.iconpath=http://abc.oracle.com:7778/forms/icons default.icons.iconextension=gif
4) Now use EM Website to: a) Restart the OC4J-BI-Forms Instance b) Restart the BI-FORMS HTTP Server Instance.
5) Verify that the virtual directory has been defined properly and that the icons can be viewed in a browser.
Assuming that exeqry.gif exists in the D:\Myfiles\icons directory, the following URL should show the icon:
http://abc.oracle.com:7778/forms90/icons/exeqry.gif or http://abc.oracle.com:7778/forms/icons/exeqry.gif
6) Check the form : http://abc.oracle.com:7778/forms90/f90servlet?form=D:\Testcases\F90\ICON_CHECK_IASR2.fmx or http://abc.oracle.com:7778/forms/frmservlet?form=D:\Testcases\F10g\ICON_CHECK_IASR2.fmx
CHECKLISTS
=============
Icons do not appear in the browser using the URL:
o Verify that you are using the correct machine name and port for the OC4J_BI_Forms object.
o Check the virtual directory name to make sure that there are no typographical errors. o Check for typographical errors in the forms90.conf or forms.
conf for the virtual directory. o Check the name of the icon on the file system. If the file is saved as Exeqry.gif, then it will not be found using the URL http://abc.oracle.com:7778/forms90/ Close all your browser sessions and open a new browser window.
Execute the URL to bring up from the Form Builder runtime or from the browser.
( For 10G use "forms" instead of "forms90")USEFUL REFERENCES:==================

ICONS are not appearing in oracle forms 10g

Dear All,
Good Morning.
I am using oracle 10g forms.
I had my old application in forms6i. I migrated it into forms 10g.
Application is running fine no function problem there is.
But icons are appeared into button.
Please tell me way, how can i configure for icons.

The above mentioned thread is talking about icons not appearing in the Forms builder and not at runtime. I don't think it will help you.
In Webforms displaying "Icons" it's a little bit different than client/server, Webforms use .gif files as icons and not .ico files and these files should be Jarred in a .Jar file and put in a directory where the JVM can reach.
Follow the instruction in the [url http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/pdf/webicons.pdf]Webicons file in page 3 under the "Don't want to learn about the details, Just get started!" it's very easy and fun.

Icons in Oracle Forms 10g (10.1.2.0.0)

Hi,
How can I center my icons in a toolbar canvas. I'm migrating from Forms version 5 to Oracle 10g and have converted the icons from *.ico files to *.gif files.
Any help will be appreciated.
:@)))

... and beside of what Jan said, look at the following whitepaper:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/pdf/webicons.pdf
Note that all directory names and file names that have a "90" in it are now without or have a frm prefix instead.
