Identify forms in Oracle forms Builder

Hi every one,
I am very very new to Oracle forms and Oracle Builder, how can we find the complexity of a form and also a report, I have the access to the Oracle forms builder and Oracle report builder, Can any one help me how to move further and, how to identify. It would be really great thing, If any one helps me As soon as possible.
waiting for your suggestions.
Thanks,
raki

Is see you double posted this thread, and the other one is also a bit vague.
It is not such a straightforward task to specify complexity. You have to have a good working knowledge of the system. I can give you example about one of our forms. It looks really simple: type in some identifier, and it will show you all open invoices of a customer, Press a button for full or partly payment of the invoices and receipts will be printed.
This involves many things in the background, like checking the financial system. It looks simple (one when-button-pressed trigger), but is very complex indeed.
If you want to migrate from Forms to Apex, you should properly plan it. If you have no experience at all in your company for such a project, you might want to contact a specialized company.

How to make a billing forms in oracle forms 6.0?

I think you've got worse problems than building the form.
First you need a proper data model. Billing will involve more than one table, with master - detail relations and that kind of very nice things that a database can achieve.
Then, once you have designed a datamodel that fits your requirements, you will have to build the form with the builder. It is not a hard tool, but needs a minimum learning.
Don't take me wrong, but I don't think you can come here and ask such a generic issue.

Help for designing the same forms like Oracle form!!!

Hi everyone!
I am working for some projects and now I want to make a form like Oracle form, there are some features in Oracle form that I don't know how to do the same so I would like to ask someone here.

I mean when I open my form, it must be the same with Query Material after that I press Enter then it must be the same Material Workbench form. Please help me!!! Thanks in advanced.
Inventory => On-hand Availability => On-hand Quantity, it will display Query Material Form then Enter after that it will display Material Workbench.

Hi, welcome to the forums. Please take a few minutes to reveiw the following:

If you follow these general guidelines, you will greatly increase your chances of getting a solution to your question in a shorter period of time. While your questions may make sense to you - when you post a question here, you have to remember that we do not have the same point of reference as you. You can't assume we will understand vague references like *"I want to make a form like Oracle form"*. I've seen so many different UI variations in Oracle Forms that a blanket statement like this has no meaning. The only thing that limits the funtionality of a Form is your imagination.
Perhaps, after reviewing the aforementioned articles, you could provide us with some basic information like your Oracle Forms version, Browser and version, OS and version and a more detailed description of the type of functionality you are trying to emulate. With this information, we (the Forum participants) will be better able to help you.

Unable to run forms in oracle forms developer 10g

I am using oracle forms developer 10g on oracle application Release 12.
When i run form i am getting error that weblistener is not running on default port 8888. Then i changed it to 8000. But still i am not able to run the forms.

Nivas,
In addition to running OC4J, you must also have your browser configured to use a Java Runtime Environment. The easiest - and preferred - method is to install the Oracle JInitiator as there is not configuration needed other than the installation. You can also use Sun's JRE, but you would have to research how to configure your PC correctly. The other option is to change your FormsWeb.cfg file to use the Browser Native JRE. Edit the formsweb.cfg file and find the IE= directive. The Default is IE=jinitiator. Change this to IE=Native, save your changes and you are done. This is not the preferred solution, but it does work.

How to call Oracle Form within Oracle Form?

Hi,
I have a requirement to call a customized Oracle Form from standard Oracle Form (Special Information screen) and vice versa.
Then need to display the person detail accordingly.
Is it possible to be done? Appreciate guidance on this item.
Thanks and Regards,
SC

Veerendra,
Sounds like you are using the Oracle E-business Suite (EBS). If that is the case, opening a form is different in the EBS than it is in a non-EBS Forms application. You have the register the Custom Form in the EBS for starts.
This question should be posted in the General EBS Discussion forum not here. Also, I recommend you take a look at the Oracle Applications Documentation and find the "Oracle Applications Developer's Guide".

Called form is opening behind the calling form in oracle form

Hi Experts,
I am facing a problem while calling a form from another form.Say for example i have 2 forms form A and B. Form A (Calling form) has two windows. A main window will navigate to another window when a button is pressed and i am calling form B from window2 with: Open_Form('called_form',ACTIVATE,NO_SESSION,the_list); but the form B i.e, called form is opening behind the window2 (between main window and window2).
Then i tried with Call_Form('asn_details',NO_HIDE,no_replace,NO_QUERY_ONLY ,the_list); but result is same.
Form a window properties is as follows:
Main window: Window style is Document, Modal is set to NO.
Window2: Window style is Document, Modal is set to YES (because user should not navigate between windows)
Called form window: Window style is Document, Modal is set to YES.
Oracle DB version: 10g, Developer suite: 10g, Windows OS (windows 7, 32 bit).
Please help..
Thanks,
Pramod SR

Call_Form('asn_details',HIDE,do_replace,NO_QUERY_ONLY ,the_list);

How to display Reports parameter form in Oracle Forms 10g.

hello,
am migrating from Forms 6i applications to Forms 10g.
one of my application contain report, that report display parameter form
I wrote below code for WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED Trigger
DECLARE
pl_id      ParamList;
v_report_id report_object;
v_report varchar2(100);
vjob_id varchar2(100);
vc_rep_status varchar2(100);
BEGIN
pl_id := create_parameter_list('my_list');
add_parameter (pl_id,'P_HOSPITAL_ID',text_PARAMETER,
:bm_hospitals.hospital_id);
add_parameter(pl_id,'PARAMFORM',text_PARAMETER,'NO');
v_report_id := FIND_REPORT_OBJECT('bm_r001');
v_report := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT ( v_report_id,pl_id );
vjob_id := substr ( v_report, length(<reportservername>)+2,
length( v_report) );
vc_rep_status := REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS (v_report);
IF vc_rep_status = 'FINISHED' THEN
     WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT ('/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'|| vjob_id||
'?server=rep_mohahubkpcomp_ORaHOme_IAS'||'&userid=
bedman/bedman@bedman'||'&paramform=yes','_blank');
ELSE
     message ('Report failed with error message '||vc_rep_status);
END IF;
Destroy_Parameter_List(pl_id);
END;
The Above code is running report and displaying Output perfect but cannot
display the Parameter Form at runtime.
any help in this very thankful.
Regards
Gagan.

In Your code there is a line:
add_parameter(pl_id,'PARAMFORM',text_PARAMETER,'NO');
which actually disables the report parameter form.
The line:
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT ('/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'|| vjob_id||
'?server=rep_mohahubkpcomp_ORaHOme_IAS'||'&userid=
bedman/bedman@bedman'||'&paramform=yes','_blank');
displays the report to which vjob_id refers. At this point the report is competed so the parameters userid and paramform are useless.
Hope this helps.

Can i change the field position in a Form using Oracle Forms Personalization?

In my form a field is appearing at the top of page.I want that field to appear at the bottom of page.Can i achieve this using Forms Personalization?

Yes, you can.
Action: Property
Property Name(s): X_POS, Y_POS
Value: If following standards you should specify X_POS in .01 increments and Y_POS in .25 increments.
You can play around with help -> diagnostics -> properties -> item to interactively set the value for the X and Y position until you get it on the spot you want; once you have the right values set the personalization rule to set the property values accordingly.
Beware that this is done for individual items, so if you need to make space and shift other items you'll have to set the properties for each one.

Oracle Forms Builder 10g release 2 documentation?

I'm trying to locate a book about Oracle Forms Builder 10g release 2. I'm needing a beginner's guide. I've seen the advanced techniques one, but I can't seem to find one for someone that is just starting out. Does anyone have any suggestions?

There are a couple of books by Albert Lulushi that will give you the basics you can build upon. These are older books, but the concepts they present are still valid.
<ul>
<li>Developing Oracle Forms Applications (Aug 1996)
<li>Oracle Forms Developer's Handbook (Dec 2000)
</ul>
Probably more helpful would be some online tutorials. Again, some of these are a little old, but the concepts are still valid for Forms 10g and 11g.
Although a few of the following links are for older Forms versions, the concepts are still valid across all Forms versions.
<ul>
<li>A Tutorial on Oracle9i Forms and Reports
<li>Tutorial for Oracle10g Forms / Reports
<li>iSelfSchooling - Basic Introduction to Forms
<li>Oracle Forms 10g: Demos, Tips and Techniques
</ul>
Hope this helps,
Craig B-)
