Install 11g Forms Builder ONLY?

Now that 11.1.2.2 is released and four years later since this question was asked as to whether the Forms Builder / Development Client Forms/Reports 11g Builder without WebLogic , do I still need to install WLS and the other bloat just to build a form on Windows when my runtime production environment will be on Linux?

I wanted to add a note for others, like myself, that are just upgrading to 11g. The reason why there is one install download for both development and deployment is because they require WLS and because the OC4J environment is no longer used. Recall the Dev Suite / Builders relied on OC4J to some extent if you wanted to run forms from the builder. The WLS replaces OC4J for running forms from the builder.

11g forms builder is not able to initiate the Internet explorer

Hi,
my problem is that my forms builder is not able to open the form in IE during compilation if Internet explorer is not already running but it is able to open the form in a new tab if Internet explorer is already running.
My system's specifications :-
Oracle forms builder 11g
Windows 2008 SP2
Internet explorer version :-Internet explorer 9
Please help.
Thanks,
RS

1. In the Builder verify that you have valid values for the Application Server URL and Browser Location fields in the Builder Preferences Runtime (tab). Do not leave either field blank.
2. In the browser settings, on the Advanced tab, scroll down to the Security section and check the box labeled, "Allow active content to run in files on My Computer".
3. Click Ok to save the changes. Close ALL open browsers
4. Retest

Forms builder- only displays records created in the form builder?

Hi there. I am new to Oracle and forms builder. I just have a query. I have created a form and when I run the form, it doesnt display the data out of my database. I can add a new record using the form and it will add it to my database:

But it will only display the records that I have added using the form. Example, the first two records above were already in the database. I couldnt view them ith the form, but then I added the bottom record and I could only view that record in the form, but not the others.
Any ideas why? I think I just dont know how to use the forms builder properly. Many thanks

Forms starts with an empty screen(no records), only when you execute a query, the records are retrieved from the database.
This can be done by executing the "execute_query" command.
This can be done by pushing the button in the toolbaar, choosing the menu item, hitting the function key.
But it can also be done programmatically in forms code(in a trigger).
I hope this helps...

After saving a pll file in 11g Form Builder, should I be to open it in....

.......10g Form Builder?
Friends,
I am currently looking at upgrading our 10.1.2 forms application to 11.1.1 and am slightly puzzled by something.
If I open an existing 10g .PLL file in Form builder 11g and save it should I still be able to open it in Forms Builder 10g?
The reason for asking is that when we moved from 6i Forms to Forms 10g, once the PLL was saved in the newer version of Form builder it was no longer possible to open it in the earlier, 6i, version of Form Builder. If you attempted to do so you would see an error "Encoded format has an unrecognized format"
However it appears that after opening a PLL in Forms 11g builder and saving the file I can still open the same file in Forms 10g. Is this the expected behaviour?
The reason for asking this is that I want to check that the upgrade to 11g is actually doing something!
Thanks in advance

Hi Timothy,
The account cannot be validated error was due to a glitch on our activation server that has been fixed now.
Please try using acrobat now and check if you are still facing the problem.

11g Form Builder crashes

I have been converting forms from 6i to 11g. There is one form that crashes the builder on generating the executable (Ctrl+T).
The pl/sql compiles normally. The form will save changes. The workstation has been rebooted. (Windows XP Pro)
I deployed the form to the Linux server and it WILL compile, generate, and run there.
Any ideas on what to look for in the form?
Thank you.

The form has blocks built on database packages. So I recompiled the database components.
No change.

Need Oracle 10g/11g Form Builder Kit

I am planning to give an exame !Z0-141 for Oracle form developer. I don't have Oracle Official Kit. If anyone has and interested to sale me, please let me know. You can reach me at my personel email [email protected]

The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence. Well, in my opinion, a higher market share does not reflect the quality or reliability of a product. Take MS Windows for example. Unfortunately, the reason for success is often not due to knowledge and experience, but rather due to fear and sheep effect or herd behavior.
Perhaps you can use other arguments or questions to help you to make a decision, eg.:
Oracle has a better understanding of what Oracle products require than Red Hat.
Oracle takes full responsibility for the OS and Database, no finger pointing.
Oracle tries to provide a better product than the RHEL kernel.
The Oracle UEK kernel contains Oracle driver software, not available for RHEL 6 or later.
Oracle updates are free of charge, RHEL requires a subscription.
Oracle as a company is about 20 times bigger than Red Hat.
There can be reasons that require the use of the original RHEL kernel, for instance if the vendor of a specific driver for your hardware demands it. But otherwise...

Running oracle form builder 10g in windows 7 64 bit

i am working in windows 7 64 bit
oracle db 11g enterprise edition 11.2.0.10 64 bit
form builder 10.12.0.2 32 bit
my default browser is Google Chrome
i have java 6 standard edition 1.6.0_34
when i am trying to run any form this message appear " java (TM) is required to display some elements in this page"
what can i do to run those forms?

You can also refer to this OTN reference:
Oracle Application Server 10g (10.1.2) Certification Matrix
Other comments:
1. I would not recommend using Forms 10.1.2.0 with Oracle DB 11.2.x. Patching Oracle Forms to 10.1.2.3 would be recommended. Using version Forms 11 would be better.
2. Attempting to use the Developer Tools on Windows 7 is not a great idea although it can be made to work. Developer Suite 10 is no longer supported and was never really intended for use on Win7. Again, patching to 10.1.2.3 is recommended and required if you plan to follow the Oracle instructions and certifications.
3. Installing the Forms Builder (Developer Suite) on Win7-64bit is not at all certified and was never supported.
4. Using Java 7 was not certified and therefore not supported for use with Forms 10.x
In general, Forms 10.1.2.x has been desupported. Customer using this version or older should be working on a migration plan for getting to the latest supported version which is 11.1.2.1.

Forms services and form builder

Hi,
We are installing Oracle Forms 10g Application Server 10.1.2.0.2. What is difference between
Form Services and Form Builder. Which one developer should be used for migration,qa purpose?
Thanks
sandy

Sandy,
Oracle Forms Services is a part of the Oracle Application Server and is used by the apps server to display a Form built with Oracle Forms. Forms run inside a Java container in a Web Browser (Internet Explorer, etc.).
Oracle Forms Builder is a Rapid Application Development (RAD) tool used for creating user interface applications. Your developer will use the Forms Builder to create new or modify existing Forms applications.
I'm not sure what you mean by Migration and QA. Are you migrating from an older version of the Forms Builder? As to QA, who ever is performing the QA would need the Forms Builder only if they need to look at the PL/SQL code in a Form for standards compliance, proper logic, etc.
Hope this helps.

ERROR IN INVOKING TARGET 'RELINK' OF MAKEFILE '/INS_PRECOMP.mk' in 11g Form

Hi,
I am installing 11g Forms & Report [11.1.2]s on AIX 6.1, all other JDK and Weblogic Server installed Successfully without any error.
When i installed 11g Forms & Reports i am getting this below error on 92% of completion.
ERROR IN INVOKING TARGET 'RELINK' OF MAKEFILE '///INS_PRECOMP.mk'
What is this error. Oracle Support says its a well known error to be solve by create a symlink as root user.
They advised us to do this following
Yes, there is a known issue with AIX OS.
Before starting the Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Classic installation on IBM AIX, check for "xlc" availability on the system. It should be present either under /usr/bin/ or under >/usr/vac/bin directory.
If /usr/vac/bin/xlc is present, create the following symlink as root user:
# ln -s /usr/vac/bin/xlc /usr/local/bin/xlc
If /usr/bin/xlc is present, create the following symlink as root user:
# ln -s /usr/bin/xlc /usr/local/bin/xlc
Please clean up the failed install and start new install once you follow the above steps and let me know the results.The above steps are given by metalink support.
But we do not have the XLC folder in our OS.
Will you kindly advice me, why is that XLC folder Required ?
If it is a Compilers folder why we need that in Production Server Installation. ?
Kindly Advice me, we are hanged in this step for a more than 3 Days..
Regards
Paja

XLC is a compiler for AIX. If you don't have it, and someone believes you do then you will need to install it. Because you did not mention what MOS note you were reading it is hard to say if this is a good plan or not. Take a look here:
http://www.google.com/search?q=aix+xlc
Also, if you haven't already done so, this note may offer some guidance:
<blockquote>Installing Oracle On Aix:'Error In Invoking Target 'Relink' Of Makefile ...' ld: 0706-006 Cannot find or open library file: -l m (Doc ID 309668.1)</blockquote>
And this patch is worth installing once you correct the current problem as you will need it for future patch installations: Patch ID: 13990099

Connect Oracle Form Builder 10g to Oracle Database 10g Express

Hi,
I'm new to Oracle.
I've installed both form builder and database 10g express.
I tried to connect form builder to HR sample database in 10g express with the following:
user name: hr
password: hr
database: hr
but I received message: ora-12154: tns could not resolve the connect identifier specified.
Can anyone help me on that? Do I need to change the tnsnames.ora?
If yes, what should I need to change in order to connect to the HR sample?
Thank you.

Yes you need to have an entry in the tnsnames.ora file for you database service name or sid. The service name or sid is usually XE unless you changed it when you installed 10g express.

Is Oracle Forms builder version 10.1.2.0.2 certified with Windows 7 ?

Hello
I need to change my old PC that is running 32 bit XP.
On this PC , I have installed Oracle Forms builder 10.1.2.0.2
I need to keep this version of forms as my customer is running the same version on linux.
I wish to upgrade my PC and install Windows7 (32 bit ) . Is Windows7 certified with Oracle Form builder 10.1.2.0.2?
Thanks
John Hall

Hello Sunny,
I just asked that same question in a service request a few days ago and got this answer from Oracle Support:
Question "Could you please also check if Forms/Reports Builder *10g* (10.1.2.3.0) are being certified for Windows 7 (32- and 64-bit)? As far as I know Forms/Reports Builder 10g are currently not certified for Win7 at all."
ODM Answer / Action Plan:
"According to product management and http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/10gR2/clientsod_forms10gR2.html , Windows 7 is certified as a client platform for 10.1.2.3, however production runtime deployments on Windows 7 is not supported for this version. You can build your Forms applications using Forms Builder on Windows 7 and test it, but when it is time to deploy it in a multi user environment, it needs to be deployed on a supported production deployment. So it should be ok to install iDS 10.1.2.3 on Windows 7 and develop your applications. The installation should be according to How to Install Developer Suite 10.1.2.3 on Windows Vista (Doc ID 559067.1). The note is for Vista, but the instructions apply for Windows 7 as well."
So I'd assume Windows 7 to be supported as well with Forms and Reports Builder 10.1.2.3.0.

Andreas

Dynamic form search in form builder

Hello folks, I am relatively new to form builder, only a few months of experience, and here is the problem that I am having.
I have this table, table1, with columns A,B,C,D..etc, I want to set up the search page in the following fashion:
- One text field for every column of the table
- The user can fill some of these text field, and leave others empty.
- the form should only search for the columns in the text fields that are not empty, for example, if I leave the text field corresponding to A empty, then I can search for any value of A.
- the result of the search is displayed in an LOV.
I have read around and I found it to be something like that in the LOV query:
SELECT *
FROM table1
WHERE
(:block.A_text_field IS NULL OR table1.A = :block.A_text_field) and
(:block.A_text_field IS NULL OR table1.A = :block.A_text_field) and etc for all columns...
Or maybe this:
SELECT *
FROM table1
WHERE (A = :block.A_text_field AND :block.A_text_field IS NOT NULL) OR
(B = :block.B_text_field AND :block.B_text_field IS NOT NULL)OR etc for all columns....
I haven't tested these two sample codes, because the server is closed currently, but would they work knowing my requirement? Would this query search for any value of B if the B_text_field was left empty? eg. user types 55 in A_text_field and leaves B_text_field empty; would it generate an LOV that shows A=55 and B any value?

well to my mind this where clause
(:block.A_text_field IS NULL OR table1.A = :block.A_text_field) and
(:block.B_text_field IS NULL OR table1.B = :block.B_text_field) and [...]returns:
if A_TEXT_FIELD is entered, then the column A column has to be exact the value of A_TEXT_FIELD (:block.A_TEXT_FIELD = table1.A) else if it there isn't any value entered there is no limitation for table1.A (:block.A_TEXT_FIELD is null with OR condition).
When entering A_TEXT_FIELD and B_TEXT_FIELD, both limitations have to be fulfilled (if only B_TEXT_FIELD is entered just the B_TEXT_FIELD condition has to be fulfilled of course).
When you don't enter any conditions in your textfields, you get all records from the table
whereas the second construct won't return anything if you don't enter some data in your text fields.
guess this:
:block.a_text_field is null and :block.b_text_field is null, so this would be:
(A = NULL and NULL IS NOT NULL) --this is false
OR (B = NULL and NULL IS NOT NULL) -- this is also falseyou can simply check this by issuing the following query in SQL*Plus or something:
CRONET@tcp_asterix_impl> select 1 from dual where 1 = null and null is not null;
no rows selected
CRONET@tcp_asterix_impl>So I believe the first condition does the thing you want.
