Import oracle forms into portal

Can anyone please give me some pointers in importing forms created by orcale forms into portal?

There is no direct way to import your Oracle Forms into Oracle Portal, as the Forms within our Portletbuilder components are of a smaller, simpler functionality set than that provided within Oracle Forms.
What I would recommend is to invoke your Oracle Forms from Portal by integrating Forms with Oracle Single-Sign-On (SSO). Integration of Oracle Forms with Oracle SSO is described in Chapter 5 of the Oracle9iAS Forms Services Deployment Guide, available here on OTN:

Hope this helps.
Best Regards,

Oracle Forms and portal

Does any one know how to integrate oracle forms into portal. I am using Oracle 10g?
Thanks

How do you want the integration to function? Do you just need a form to run on a page or do you need the form to interact with Portal functionality?
The former is easy to accomplish with a frame portlet. The latter not so easy but doable. Using the database as the common denominator its possible to have Forms interact with Portal thru PLSQL and data tables acting as state repositories.

Importing oracle forms and reports into workbenches

Good day I am trying to understand the correct method of
Using workbenches how does one import oracle forms and reports.
Within my work group we think jsp and java are the technology being used.

Hi Rajesh,
But i have not installed IAS at all. I have only Forms and Reports 10g and Oracle database installed. As you said it only save on IAS, but can we save it on local machine. Is there any other alternative.
Again my second issues is --> I want to remove Mail option and rename Cache option to PDF from Destype combo box which appears at run time.

Converting oracle forms into java forms

Hi all,,
would help me plz on how to convert oracle forms into java using any tool;
Is Jheadstart is the tool,, im having jeveloper version 10.1.2.1.0

There are at least two companies that are marketing Forms to Java conversion tools. I'm sure that a good Google search will locate them, and they are frequent exhibitors at Oracle-oriented conferences like Collaborate and ODTUG Kaleidoscope. But there are problems associated with doing this. I urge anyone who is considering such a project to read this article by Grant Ronald: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/pdf/10gR2/formsmigration.pdf
You should carefully ask yourself and your clients and management, "Why do you want to do this?", "What benefits are you trying to realize?", "Does this make sense, and are there other options that we should be exploring?"
For instance, many people are trying to protect themselves because "Forms is going away". Oracle has stated again and again that Forms is NOT going away. In fact the recent Fusion Middleware 11g release included a new version of Forms with some significant enhancements. You may do very well just by upgrading to the latest version of Forms.
If you do decide that it still makes sense to convert, I suggest that rather that converting, you may want to redevelop from scratch. Keep the database if it is well designed - a well designed, stable database will outlast any front end that you may use against it. Then take full advantage of the capabilities of your new toolset, and leave behind the limitations and inapplicable methodologies of your old one. Oh, by the way, don't use JDeveloper 10.1.2. Use 11g if you can, or 10.1.3.5 if you must.

How can I import .pdf forms into RoboHelp 11.0.3.268 without garbling fields?

When I try to import .pdf forms into RoboHelp 11, the fields get garbled.
Is there any way around this?

Hello again
Okay, you first open or give focus to the Project Manager pod. Once there, you will either be in Global View (where you see all files combined - CSS, Images, HTM and others) or you will be in Classic view. Classic View has separate folders, One for HTML files, another for CSS, another for Baggage, etc. See image below for reference.
If you are in Global view, just right-click somewhere inside the Project Files and choose New > Baggage File. If you are in Classic view, right-click the Baggage Files folder and choose New > Baggage File.
Then you navigate to where the Baggage File exists and you add it to the project. When you generate, the Baggage File should be automatically copied to the output folder with the other files.
To link to the Baggage File, you generally select the text or image the user will click to display the file, then click and drag the file from the Project Manager pod to the selected image or text.
Or, if you wish to leave the PDF where it is on the web, just determine the URL that would open it. Create a hyperlink from an image or text that will open the file.
Cheers... Rick

Fnd the forms.jar file in the system. Make a note of the complete path For example if the forms.jar file is in C:\abcd\xyz\ , the path of this file is C:\abcd\xyz\forms.jar .
Open the server.xml file which you can find under C:\Sun\AppServer7\domains\domain1\server1\config and add the above PATH like this
server-classpath="C:\abcd\xyz\forms.jar;C:/Sun/AppServer7/lib/appserv-rt.jar ......
-Restart the Application Server and run your application
Hope this helps

Setting Oracle form on Portal

Hi All,
I'm developing oracle form on portal that will be used for 38 branches. Every branch has their own data (using the same table) but the same form, the different is only selecting their own data. I have no idea how to implement this other than creating 38 form for each branches. so 1 changes on a form should be replicated to 38 branches. Can i configure 1 form for every branches?
best regards,
~Diko~

Seems to me like implementing VPD in your database would be your best bet. By setting a context, you can ensure that each branch will see only the data relevant or specific to that branch.
Hope this helps

Inserting developed forms into portal

What do I need to do to insert a form I build in forms developer into my portal? Please go step by step. Thanks a lot!!

Mathew,
if you simply link from portal to forms then the required trasks are simple in that you create a link in Portal and provide the Forms startup URL. In Oracle9i Forms, Forms and Portal share the same SSO scheme so that you are fine for that.
If you like forms to be a Portlet within Portal, then there are quite some difficulties to be aware of:
1. It seems that Portal doesn't pass the full HTTP header to Forms which means that Forms does not know about the Browser type your are using (as well as the language set on the client). This measn you have to configure the application to always use JInitiator (which works on both Browser types)
2. Portal redirects the request making relative URLs fail. Make sure you use absolute URLs in the formsweb.cfg file (e.g. the serverURL parameter for the Forms Listener Servlet).
3. In Forms9i, reloading a page does restart Forms and reloading a page is what Portal does all the time. Use the Java 1.4 Plugin instead of JInitiator and set the legacy parameter to make it behave like Forms6i. Note that the change in behaviour was added by SUN in Java.
4. In Portal use the URL portlet from the JPDK to link Forms into Portal
Actually from exoerience our recommendation still is to run Forms in an extra Window.

Integrate pdf (converted from smart form ) into portal

Hi,
My Requirement is as follows,
We are using FPM framework and the application is developed on Webdynpro Java,
When a end user fills up the details on this application form and clicks on a Review button,
it will display the summary of the above details in a PDF format.
This PDF will be converted from a smart form in backend.
My question is how do we integrate this PDF at runtime into Portal via WebDynpro Java?
Thanks in advance,
~Veena.

Hi.
First tell your abapper to make a RFC for you that returns the binary of the smartform.
Then import that RFC.
Create an Interactive Form UI Element.
-In its properties, select "usePdf" option and then in pdfSource select the attribute where the binary from the zfunction is returned.
If you dont have problems with encoding the pdf will be shown.
Wish you luck.
Bye

Oracle Forms and Portal. & Portal Security

I need the following questions answered for a client who is
trying to move from IIS to Oracle Portal. any pointers would be
extremely helpful
1. How to configure Oracle Forms to run with Portal.
2. Is it possible to display forms inside a Portlet. If so, will
the forms hold the same state when the page is refresed.
3. Is it possible to display WORD/PDF/EXECL documents in their
native format inside a Portlet.
4. Any information on how IIS security integration is possible
with POrtal. i.e ( if there are ASP pages running on IIS
security, how to integrate it with Portal Security mechanism
-Thanks

You can create roles in Oracle with the appropriate privileges to access the application. For example,
you could create a role that has only read access to all the tables in the database. You could assign this role to the menu. Also, you may want a role for a manager that whould enable him to insert data or to see a few special forms. You could assign this role to the menu associated with the form.
Using Form Builder, you can manage menu security with Oracle server roles. After defining the roles to use for a menu module, you could then specify the roles that have access to each menu item. When you set the 'Use Security' property of a menu module to 'Yes', the form enforces security. After setting the 'Use Security' property to 'Yes', you can use 'Module Roles' property to construct the entire list of roles with access to that menu module.
I hope it helps.

Exposing Oracle FORMS to PORTAL...?

Hi Sharmila/anyone..!
Is there any sample available for exposing Oracle FORMS 6. developed application to PORTAL. Or is there anything needs to be installed on PORTAL server to access Oracle FORMS...!
Any idea would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.
Rakesh.

Hi,
You can have a look at Metalink Note: 132858.1 ( Is it possible to publish Reports6i/Forms6i as portlet within Portal? ).
The note is basically for Portal 3.0.9.x, but the concepts discussed in this Note shoutd give you the necesssary ideas.

Convert Oracle Forms into Java (swing & JSP's)

Dear All,
We are currently in the process of evaluating our upgrade of system, which is using forms 4.5. One of the options we are considering at this stage is converting all forms into Java program. I am currently doing some pilot work on this project. I am using FormsWizard, a product of InformatikAtelier Gmbh, along with Forms 6i and Jdeveloper 9i. Has any one done this before in this group? Your assistance is much appreciated.
Regards

Grant, Thanks for that mail. It was very useful article. The article has lots of brilliant points consider. I may have to discuss with our System Architect. With my experience in both forms and Java, it is hard to justify the business benefit out of this conversion. We are a strong Oracle house and have no intention of moving towards J2EE at this stage.. Thanks once again.
