Insert hyperlinks in Forms 10g R2

Hi to all,
is it possible to implement weblinks on a canvas in Forms 10g R2 ?
I searched for that in many forums and at Metalink but failed.
Any help is appreciated.

I cannot make hyperlink in form 10g

Hi,
i m trying to make a hyperlink in forms 10g, can some one help me through demos???????????
Thanks

you can use a text-item with no bevel and when the user clicks in the item you write a
web-show_document ();
the value of the item is e.g. the name of the link and can be used as parameter to the show_document

Is it possible to insert hyperlinks into Dev Forms Code?

Does anyone know of a way to insert hyperlinks into forms once
it's deployed? For example, if I want the user to click on a
button "when-button-pressed" code that will take them to a
website.
thanks

Why don't you use WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT inside your "when-button-
pressed" trigger?

Forms 10g installed and running on Windows Vista

Update 12-Dec-2008: Oracle has published NOTE 559067.1 -- How to Install Developer Suite 10.1.2.0.2 - hence 10.1.2.3 - on Windows Vista, 24-OCT-2008 with some installation help.
Update 07-July-2008: Added text at the bottom showing how to find patchsets for Forms 10g.
Update 29-May-2008: This thread was started in November, 2007. In January, 2008, Oracle released Patch 3 for Forms 10g, which makes Forms 10g compatible with Windows Vista. As time permits I'll try to keep the information in this post up to date. Updated information will be inserted as blue text.

Original message begins here:
This is a second thread I am posting to outline the steps I have used to install Forms on a Windows Vista Home Basic laptop. The other thread describes installing Forms 6i:
Forms 6i installed and running on Windows Vista
Please read through the initial part of that post for the background. I realize Oracle has not certified Forms 10g to run on Vista, but the time has come for my associates and I to upgrade our old computers to new desktop/laptop platforms, and I would hate to acquire XP machines and be stuck with them for the next 5 years. (Note: Since first posting this message, Oracle has certified Forms 10g Patch 3 (version 10.1.2.3.0) to run on Vista) So after another person informed me that he had Forms installed and running on Vista, I went ahead and bought one. I found that as long as I set the compatibility mode to run Forms programs as Windows XP (and a few other changes), Forms 6i and 10g run quite satisfactorily.
Update 29-Jan-2008: Unfortunately, it turns out that the Forms 10g Builder running on Vista had a major flaw: If you try to develop a form, the Builder will crash if you try to compile a procedure that calls another procedure in the form that has errors. The problem is reported and described in this thread: Error compiling a form under Vista
Update 12-Mar-2008: Installing Patch 3 on Vista does not help with this problem -- the Builder still crashes in the same situation.
Update 25-July-2008: Applying Patch 7047034 has corrected the problem. See this link within this thread: Forms 10g: Installing Patch 7047034 on Windows Vista
Webutil note: I am stuck in a Forms 6i client/server world, so all my forms must run in that environment. Therefore I have not used any Webutil software, and I do not know whether that part will run under Vista.
Internet Explorer note: On Windows Vista, IE CANNOT be used to run the Web Forms runtime. It crashes immediately when you try to run a form. Instead, I can use either Firefox (Firefox 2, Firefox 3.0 Crashes with Forms 10g) or Netscape, as long as they are set to disable java. [ Correction: IE7 on Vista now runs the Forms 10g forms. You just need to add "?config=jpi" to the browser URL when starting the Web Forms session.

The Oracle Developer Suite download page:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ids/index.html
Oracle Developer Suite Installation Guide:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25016_07//doc/dl/core/B16012_04/toc.htm
The steps below are those I followed to install Forms 10g (version 10.1.2.0.2)
I. Preliminary system changes in Windows
When I started installing, I got the following error message: Install has encountered an error while
 attempting to verify your virtual memory settings.
 Please verify that the sum of the initial sizes of
 the paging files is at least 256 MB.To fix this: Go to Control Panel, System and Maintenance, View amount of RAM and processor speed (under "System"),
Advanced system settings (in left "Tasks" column), Advanced tab, Settings (under "performance"), Advanced tab:
Virtual Memory shows a "Total paging file size for all drives: 2337MB.
Click "change", Uncheck "Automatically manage paging file size for all drives"
Click "custom size:", set Initial size to: 2048, Max to 4096
Click set button, then OK, get message:The changes you have made require you to restart your computer before
 they can take effect.Restart the computer.
II. Installing Forms 10g
1. Download two files from Oracle:
ds_windows_x86_101202_disk1.zip (626,122,752 bytes)
ds_windows_x86_101202_disk2.zip (236,880,881 bytes)
2a. Before extracting, it is a good idea to shut down any virus protection software. It can sometimes prevent some files from being created.
2b. Extract both into the C:\oracle directory, as disk1 and disk2.
3. Using Windows Explorer, change the properties of setup.exe in the C:\oracle\disk1 folder. (In windows explorer, right click, properties, Compatibility tab.) Change the compatibility to run as Windows XP (Service Pack 2).
4. Right click setup.exe and click "Run as administrator"
5. Select "Installation type" = Complete (1.11 GB)
6. Received this message:Windows Firewall has blocked this program from
accepting incoming network connections. If you
unblock this program, it will be unblocked on all
public networks that you connect to.
C:\users\steve\appdata\local\temp\orainstall...
2007-10-29_11-59-08am\jre\1.4.2\bin\javaw.exeI clicked "Unblock"
7. Received this message: "Provide outgoing mail server information" I entered the smtp mail server that I use.
8. A summary screen displayed showing 274 products under New Installations.
I clicked the Install button.
9. Received this message: You can find a log of this install session at:
C:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory\logs\installActions2007.....log
10. The installation completed. Installed products shows Forms 10.1.2.0.2
III. After the install completed
1. Create a shortcut to the Forms 10 Builder on the Desktop.
On the shortcut line, after the .exe, add *userid=userxxx/pwxxx@orcl* so Builder automatically logs into 10g database. If you do step 4 below (creating an easily-accessible folder to use for your forms) change the "Start in" path on the shortcut so it points to that folder. Otherwise, Forms Builder will not find referenced objects and PLL libraries when it opens a form. Also do the same on the Start, All Programs shortcut for the Forms Builder.
Edit: After applying Patch 3, the following steps are not necessary.
Set its compatibility to Windows XP.
Set checkbox: "Run this program as as an administrator." (Without this, FormBuilder will NOT open a PLL library.)
Click the "Show settings for all users" and change values there.
2. Copy "Start OC4J Instance" icon to desktop.
Set its compatibility to Windows XP.
The first time it runs, I got a Windows popup to unblock program named Java. I clicked "Unblock".
3. tnsnames.ora:
Rename C:\oracle\DevSuiteHome_1\network\admin\tnsnames.ora
to: tnsnames_orig.ora
If you created a tnsnames.ora file for Forms 6i, just copy it to the path above. If not, do this:
Create a new tnsnames.ora file, copying entries old file on my old laptop, which contains all the connections I use.
Delete the old laptop entry, replace with new entry for the new local ORCL connection on new laptop from tnsnames file renamed from the c:\oracle\... ...\10.2.0\db_1\ path.
4. Optional: Create an easily accessible folder to store fmb files:
C:\users\steve\.1\fmb10
You don't really want to keep drilling into C:\oracle\DevSuiteHome_1\forms, and then find your .fmb file among the several dozen oracle-supplied files.
To create a folder named .1, you have to open a CMD.exe (Windows DOS) window, and type the Make Directory command:
MD .1
That will create the folder within the current directory -- mine defaults to C:\users\steve
Note: If you also need to use Forms 6i like me, DO NOT EVER open a .fmb file in the Forms 10 Builder from the Forms 6i folder. If you compile it, or even worse, save the .fmb, Forms 6i *cannot ever* access the file. Instead, always use the File Manager (Windows Explorer) to copy the fmb from the fmb6 folder into the fmb10 location.
5. Change the Forms 10g Default.env file using a text editor.
This file replaces all the settings originally written to the Windows Registry (GREAT idea, Oracle! I hate the registry.) No more Regedit. The default.env file is located at: (DevSuiteHome_1 path)\forms\server\default.env
Locate line with: FORMS_PATH= and add:
;C:\users\steve\.1\fmb10
Add a new line:
FORMS_MMAP=FALSE
The above allows compiling an fmx while the form is running.
Add a new line:
FORMS_ROWLOCK_OPTIMIZATION=FALSE
(This fixes Oracle bug number 3949854, which prevents automatic skipping if the same value is typed over another value. TAR 4806199.993 Automatic Skip failure...) See bug 4068896
Add a new Line:
FORMS_RESTRICT_ENTER_QUERY=False
This allows use of Query-Where window in enter query, after entering a colon in any input field. Without this, Forms returns FRM-40367: Invalid criteria in field nnn in example record. Oracle shut it down to prevent "sql injection" attacks.
6. Jiniator setup:
Run file jinit.exe in C:\oracle\DevSuiteHime_1\jinit\jinit.exe
It installs Jinitiator 1.3.1.22.
I installed it in C:\oracle\JInitiator 1.3.1.22\
For Firefox, make sure a copy of file \bin\NPJinit13122.dll resides in C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins.
For Netscape, the path is: C:\Program Files\Netscape\Navigator 9\plugins
7. Browser settings
See the note above about using Firefox 2 and not Firefox 3!
In Firefox 2 go to: Tools-> Options-> Content
Uncheck the "Enable Java" checkbox
--Firefox terminates if this is not done!
Note: After my system automatically installed updates to either java or Firefox, re-check the "Enable Java" setting. I am suspicious that one of these installs re-enables java in the browser.
Also note: some web sites cannot display properly if java is disabled. Example: U.S. time website: http://www.time.gov Use Internet Explorer to view these.
In Netscape make the same changes as Firefox. Without disabling java, it also terminates when you try to run a form.
Creating a url to use in the browser:
Try this:
http://127.0.0.1:8889/forms/frmservlet
If it does not work, change the 8889 port number as follows:
Open file: C:\oracle\DevSuiteHome_1\install\portlist.ini
Note the number in line:
Oracle Developer Suite HTTP port = 8889
Use the number as the port number.
You can also change the 127.0.0.1 to the computer name:
Control Panel, System and Maintenance, See the name of this computer (under "System"). Mine is "steve-PC"
So the alternate URL is: http://steve-PC:8889/forms/frmservlet
To try out the URL, start the OC4J instance set up above. Then start either Netscape or Firefox, and enter the URL. You should get a welcome screen.
If the above URL works, start up the Forms Builder, and open Edit, Preferences. On the General tab, uncheck the "Build before running" check box (optional). On the Runtime tab, set the "Application Server URL to the url above.
To run a real form, add this to the URL after frmservlet, (with no spaces):
?form={formname}&userid={userxxx}/{passwordyyy}@{connect-string}
but replace the parts in curly braces with the appropriate values. Example:
http://127.0.0.1:8889/forms/frmservlet?form=ABC&userid=abc123/zyx@orcl
Setting up Forms Builder to directly run a form in the browser:
Run the Forms Builder. Go to Edit, Preferences, Runtime tab.
Set the Application Server URL to:
http://127.0.0.1:8889/forms/frmservlet
(or use whatever URL string you developed above)
Set the Web Browser Location to:
"C:\Program Files\Netscape\Navigator 9\navigator.exe"
(or an equivalent to run the Firefox browser).
8. FORMSWEB.CFG file changes
The file is located at:
C:\ORA_DS_101202\DevSuiteHome_1\forms\server\formsweb.cfg
I changed the following two lines in the file, but these are my personal preferences:
separateFrame=true
lookandfeel=Generic
9. FMRWEB.RES file changes
For Oracle help: Enabling Key Mappings
The file fmrweb.res defines actions (triggers that run) when a function key is pressed while running Forms. The one released has unix-style key mapping, but I prefer keys originally mapped for Windows PC Forms users. There is a fmrpcweb.res in the same folder that can be renamed to fmrweb.res.
In the C:\oracle\DevSuiteHome_1\forms path, I renamed fmrweb.res to fmrweb_orig.res.
I have a file that I prefer to use, so I put it into the folder as fmrweb.res. The contents are listed below. It is organized so the most important keys are listed alphabetically at the top (URFD column is the sort column), followed by a group of less-important keys. These are keys that are available to users, but they either would not use, or are disabled within most forms. The URFD column in the second set starts with a hex A0 character, which is a high-order space, so collates after normal alphabetic characters. (Note: If you want to copy the text below and use it, the hex A0 character has been changed by the forum software to a space. So you would need to use a text editor with hexadecimal character capabilities to replace the space with the original character. )
My file has special keys defined for F2 (I use it for a debugging Key-F2 trigger in my forms), and a "Cursor to Home" F12 function. All the rest are pretty much the same as in the released fmrpcweb.res file, only mine are organized alphabetically on the URFD column.
The Web Forms fmrweb.res file is editable using any programming editor (NOT MS Word!!!). The old Client/Server key mapping file, fmrusw.res, could only be changed using the Oracle Terminal program (and it is a pain to use).
Here is the main part of my fmrweb.res file:#

I followed your instructions and installed Developer Suite 10G on Windows Vista Home Premium edition. I have Oracle 11G DB running on the same machine.
Two points, Steve:
1. When I tried to set the maximum virtual memory to 6110 an error message displayed from Windows and told me that I can't set the maximum virtual memory to more than 4096. I set it to 4090 and it worked and I got nothing wrong during the installation process.
2. After installing JInitiator and disabling Java on Firefox I called the http://127.0.0.1:8889/forms/frmservlet page and everything seemed to be OK because the Oracle Forms Services logo appeared and then a successful installation message appeared , but as I clicked (ok) to continue a gray screen appeared inside the browser (like the one displayed when you try to run a Java applet inside a browser) and then I wait to death till something appears but sadly nothing. I just get a blank gray screen inside my Firefox browser.
Do you have any idea what to do to solve the problem?

Batch procedure in Forms 10g, calling rdf and send by mail

Hi all,
I need your advice regarding my task: i have a table with invoices of some clients. I have created a report in Oracle Reports 10g R2, so to have a pdf with all the data from this table.
I have created a form in Forms 10g R2, displaying in a screen one field, where the user can choose the date of invoice. Then i will query by that date all my invoices in that table, and then i want to create a procedure in Forms, so that for every line in that table with the invoice date just chosen i will run HOST(rwrun ... all my parameters).
My questions:
1. I need to read some more about how to create a custom xml so to pass to my rwrun, and depending on the records fetched in my cursors in Forms 10g, i will pass a xml variable to my reports, so i will get the data from Forms 10g in the report created in Oracle Reports 10g. Is there any way that i can grep the errors? I need to create some insertions based on succes on failure, how can i accomplish this?
2. Is the above described scenario way to complicated to loop throuh a cursor, create a pdf, and mail the pdf until the cursor is totally fetched? Do you recommend me a simpler way to accomplish this task?
Thank you so much,
Michael.

Hello,
I have a report with all my clients, with their email addresses in the same report. Each client as unique account number or invoice number.
So i want to burst and distribute each invoice to the corresponding client:
1. I have set REPEAT ON: INVOICE in oracle reports.
2. From Oracle Reports, i click on Distribution list, and in the DESNAME i type email_address (which is the column from the table with the invoices).
3. Then, File >> Distribute. Says: distribution completed succesfully, but nothing happens.
Question:
1. Where am i mistaking?
2. Is there any log activity file that i could see what the application is doing, step by step?
Thank you,
Michael

Oracle forms 10G -Version 10.1.2.0.2 will it support timestamp data type ?

Hi all,
We are having database server - oracle 10g enterprise edition R2,
forms - Oracle forms 10G -Version 10.1.2.0.2 on windows 2000 professional.
We have created a table which has a column of type "timestamp",the following is the structure.
CREATE TABLE "STOCK_AREA_MASTER"
        (     "STOCK_AREA_CODE"     NCHAR(5)       NOT NULL    ENABLE,
              "STOCK_AREA_DESC"     NVARCHAR2(40) NOT NULL    ENABLE,
              "RECORD_STATUS"       CHAR(1)        DEFAULT 'A',
              "USER_ID"             NVARCHAR2(20) DEFAULT USER,
              "TIMESTAMP"           TIMESTAMP (6) DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP)
[\code]
We tried to invoke this table(stock_area_master) using database block wizard in forms 10g,we were expecting to see the columns in this table,but we got the following error
FRM -10095 - Assertion failed
on seeing the forms help for the error FRM-10095,We are getting the following message
FRM-10095: Assertion failed in %s, at %s:%d. Cause:  An internal inconsistency was detected. Action:  Contact an Oracle support representative, and proceed with caution
We have the following concerns.
1.) is it possible to have datatype "timestamp" in forms 10g,our researches show that we can manipulate using datatime datatype in forms,our requirement is have to precision of 6 digits(millisecond - format - dd/mm/rr hh24:mi:ss:ssss),we are able query and view precision to the tune dd/mm/rr hh24:mi:ss:ssss,but we are unable to insert/update to this precision.
We would appreciate if some one could throw some light on the above.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Mohan

Hi Mohan,
Hm. Strange.
I have reproduced the problem in my environment.
I have also found, that building the block manually, seems to work, as long as you define the item with datatype Char in Form Builder. Inserts and updates using a value like "22-AUG-06 11:10:11,647354 AM" worked fine for the timestamp item.
You may want to enforce some dateformat. I don't know whether that will work.
Good Luck!

Converting Unicode to UTF-8 character set through Oracle forms(10g)

Hi,
I am working on oracle forms (10g) where i need to load files containing unicode character set (multilingual characters) to database.
but while loading the file , junk characters are getting inserted into the database tables.
while reading the file through forms , i am using utl_file.fopen_nchar,utl_file.get_line_nchar functions to read the unicode characters ...
the application server , and database server characterset are set to american utf8 characteset.
In fact , when i change the text file characterset to utf8 through an editor(notepad ++,etc) , in that case , data is getting inserted into database properly,(at least working for english characters) , but not with unicode ...
Any guidance in this regard are highly appreciated
Thank you in advance

Bad bind variable error in oracle forms 10g

i have a created a table in oracle database 10g
create table myimage(image_id number, image_name BLOB);
i want insert an image and retrieve an image through programing(don't want block level) in oracle forms 10g
without using java beans(and finely working in both windows XP2 and Solaries)
how can i do this please can anybody give me the source code to do this because i am new in oracle forms.
i need a immediate replay to this answer why because i have urgent requirement on this in my web erp project

You can use WEBUTIL to do so, but
without using java beans(and finely working in both windows XP2 and Solaries)WEBUTIL also contains javabean. I don't know why you have this restriction, i'd say you won't succeed without any java-bean.

Code Generation Bug in Forms 10g

We're hitting this goofy bug in Forms 10g (also occurs in 9i) code generation of the On-xxx triggers. I have an "obj" package that declares an index-by array type that's used by multiple packages, including a "qry" package and "dml" package (in good ol' Steven Feuerstein tradition). The On-xxx triggers pass this type into packaged procedures that perform the Insert, Update, Delete and Lock required by Forms. These DML routines are in the "dml" package.
When we look at the generated trigger code, we see that the index-by array type is incorrectly referenced as dml.obj.idx. That is, since the On-xxx trigger is calling DML routines in the "dml" package, it's improperly qualifying the reference with the dml package name. The On-xxx trigger code gets regenerated every time we do Compile Module. We tried doing Compile All, which doesn't regenerate the On-xxx triggers; but neither does it produce an fmx file.
Is this a known bug, and is there a workaround? I can't move the index-by array type declaration to the dml package because it's used by multiple packages. If I fix it in one place, I break it in another. I can't have multiple declarations of this type in multiple packages either, because I'm passing it around between the packages, and they're not type-compatible at that point.

It looks like the Forms Wizard is the real culprit. When we looked at the Property Palette for each On-xxx trigger, where the target procedure is specified, along with the parameters, is where the malformed dml.obj.ref code appears. Once we edited those entries, the On-xxx triggers generated correctly.

Commit processing in Forms 10g, what triggers fire etc.

In the oracle documentation there used to be a commit processing flowchart that said exactly what triggers fire on commit. Don’t seem to be able to find such a thing online.
This started by trying to work out if when-validate-item always fired on commit, even if it had been fired when the value was changes. It has turned into a more general question about the above and if it is any different in forms 10g and is it any different to 6i, 9i...?
I.e. how do you answer the standard oracle job interview question 'what triggers are fired when you commit in forms?'.
Oracle seems to of hidden the information, anyone know the answer?

Ben

Unicode problem in Forms 10g

Dear Everybody,
Re : Oracle 10g DB for linux
Oracle Forms 10g for Windows/Linux
Oracle IAS 10g for linux
Oracle Jinitiator 1.3.1.18 for windows
i need to put two chinese words on two column label in Forms. one is traditional chinese UTF8 and other one is
simp. chinese UTF8. it develop by Forms on windows and re-compile it on linux then deploy it on IAS on linux.
it is fine when i access from IE. i can see two difference chinese words in forms. but when i try to resize the fonts and make the fonts to bold.
it still same as before.
Why the fonts size no effect ?
i think the problem is cause by Jinitiator.
is it correct ?
The two chinese words as below : -
T.C : ç¹é«ä¸æUTF-å«é«
S.C : ç®ä½ä¸æUTF-å«ä½
Best Regards
Boris

The date item property was defined as:
data type: datetime
maxium length:17
initial value: $$DATETIME$$
format mask: DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI
changed to ->
data type: datetime
maxium length:30
initial value: $$DATETIME$$
format mask: DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS
It still does the timestamp switching for the record 1 and 2. If the record 1 and 2 are inserted more than a minute apart, then it works. Anything to do with database datetime setup?

Storing an Excel File in the Oracle Table through Oracle Form (10g)

Hi,
We have the below requirement in the Oracle Forms (10g).
Database: 11g
Application: R12
We need to provide an upload functionality to the user, so that he can upload an excel file into the form (from the local system), this is achived.
Now what we need to do is that we need to capture the path of the document (in the local system) and we need to store the document in a Oracle table.
Next we need to validate the records that are being loaded and the error records should be written into one more file and that file also we need to store in an Oracle table, this is because, i need to query this error file from the table later and need to send to the user as an e-mail.
Basically i started off with the below code just for the POC. but iam facing the error. Please help. I did not put this code in my form.
Create Table Email_Attachments(Id_Pk Integer Primary Key,Fname Varchar2(50),Image Blob);
Create Or Replace Directory Temp As 'C:\';
Create Or Replace Procedure Load_File(Pi_Id In Integer, Pfname In Varchar2) Is
Src_File Bfile;
Dst_File Blob;
Lgh_File Binary_Integer;
Begin
Src_File := Bfilename('TEMP', Pfname);
Insert Into Email_Attachments (Id_Pk,Fname,Image)
Values (Pi_Id,Pfname, Empty_Blob())
Returning Image Into Dst_File;
Dbms_Lob.Open(Src_File, Dbms_Lob.File_Readonly);
Lgh_File := Dbms_Lob.Getlength(Src_File);
Dbms_Lob.Loadfromfile(Dst_File, Src_File, Lgh_File);
Dbms_Lob.Close(Src_File);
Commit;
End;
begin
Load_File(1,'test.txt');
end;
ERROR
ORA-22288: file or LOB operation FILEOPEN failed
No Such file or directory
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_LOB", line 1014
ORA-06512: at "SYS.LOAD_FILE", line 10
ORA-06512: at line 2
How to capture the Path from which he has loaded the file?
How to Write the error records it to the file and store it in an Oracle table?
Will the below table be of use to me?
fnd_lobs_document
fnd_lobs
fnd_documents
Please share your ideas as to how to acheive this.
Thanks and Regards
Srinivas

When you want to process the file, them it depends on the format. "Excel file" is a term that is used for a variety of file formats, mostly simple CSV, binary (true) XLS and XLSX.
So to get help you have to give us more information. Since the file is already in the db you might get better answers at {forum:id=75}. The forum has a FAQ that has a whole section {message:id=9360007}.

Best practice Forms 10g configuration setup and tuning

Hi,
We are currently depolying forms 10g from 6i client/server version. Users are experiencing Form hangups and hour glasses. This does not happen that often but can happen any time, anywhere in the app (users do inserts, updates and deletes and queries).
Is there a baseline best practice configuration setup anywhere either in the Forms side or the AppServer side of things?
Here is our setup:
Forms 10g (9.0.4)
Reports 10g (9.0.4)
Oracle AppServer 10g (9.0.4)
OS = RedHat Linux
Client Workstations run on Windows 2000 and XP w/ Internet Explorer 6 or higher
Average No. of users = 250
Thanks for all your help

Shutdown applications within the guest.
Either power off from Oracle VM Manager or 'xm shutdown xxx' from the command line
It is possible one or more files could be open when the shutdown is initiated.
Have found at least one case of misconfigured IP which would have resulted in the disk access being via the 'Front End' interface rather than the Back End.
Thanks

DB-link is not connected from Forms 10g

Hi,
I have created the db-link(visdev) from mytest schema to APPS schema -- created successfully
->Login to mytest schema and ran the query: select * from all_objects@dblink -- Return values.
-> I have used the same dblink with below code from Forms 10g (Datablock - Pre-insert trigger)
cursor_handle := dbms_sql.open_cursor;
dbms_sql.parse(cursor_handle, 'select decode(object_type,''TABLE'',''T'',''VIEW'',''V'',null) col1 from all_objects'||'@'||db-link, 1);
dbms_sql.define_column(cursor_handle,1,col1,30);
execute_feedback := dbms_sql.execute (cursor_handle);
execute_feedback := dbms_sql.fetch_rows(cursor_handle);
dbms_sql.column_value(cursor_handle,1,col1);
Its throws error in Pre-insert trigger : select decode(object_type,'TABLE','T','VIEW','V',null) col1 from all_objects@db-link ---- Not return values -- error out
I found this error using log message.
Can you please help us... its very critical for us.

In terms of trying to debug this why don't you login to your schema and create a view:
create view testview as select * from all_objects@dblink
and deal with that instead?
(You would need to grant permissions to that view.)
I mean as a way to keep the complex dbms_sql out of the loop and look
more to permissions and schema issues. In the long term the view hard codes the structure and is
not a good solution if the structure changes. I just mean as a test.
BTW you know there is an all_objects already? Didn't know if you meant that literally or not.
You could not use that name.
