Interactive Images via Oracle Forms

I have succesfully migrated to Oracle 10g and I would like to incorporate images interactively via Oracle Forms. I've considered accomplishing this task by way of using SVG, but I would like to know if Oracle has a product of its own? And has anyone successfully integrated this concept via Oracle forms?

Hi Frank,
SVG is a very nice thin client technologie and there are a lot of good open JavaScript libraries for it.
I wish a JavaScript API to and from Forms applets to interact with this SVG graphics ..
The new Oracle MapViewer generates also SVG maps.

A colleague of me did it like this:
* the scanner is connected to a network document server.
* the document server sends(ftp) the image to the oracle XDB
* a form shows the scanned documents(using a view on the ftp directory in XDB using path_view)
* in this form the user can move the scanned document(s) to a (blob field) in a table.
Hope this helps a bit...

Pls Help: View Crystal Report Via Oracle Form Builder

Hi!!
I want to know how to view the .rpt report (report made from Crystal Report) via Oracle Form Builder. I've to do it in my project. If you know, please tell me.
Thanks in advance,

I don't know how does crystal reports work, and I would guess you should ask the crystal guys to help you with this. find out if they have a command line interface that you can invoke from the host command in forms.
We can help you do it with Oracle Reports though :-)

Can a SQL SERVER table be accessed via Oracle Forms

My boss asked me this question today. I am pretty sure the answer is "no", but thought it better to throw it out to the crowd:
"Can a SQL SERVER table be accessed via Oracle Forms?"

Yes, this is possible using Oracle's Transparent Gateway. Check out the My Oracle Support (formerly Metalink) document "How To Create A Form Based on SQL Server Table" (Doc ID: 564915.1) for all of the details. This document is based on Forms 10g (10.1.2.0.2) so you may need to upgrade your Forms version if you are not already at this version at a minimum.
Hope this helps,

Png images in oracle forms

How can i use png type of images in oracle forms 10.1.2.02.?

<p>If you know the image name, just put it in the CSS file in an image tag. If you want to add it at runtime, use the ADD_IMAGE method. See all that in the documentation.
If you want to go further with this tool, use the dedicated forum to ask questions.

Displaying TIFF images in Oracle Forms 6i

Hello, friends!
I am working in Oracle Forms 6.0.8 (that ancient tool) and encounter a problem with displaying TIFF images.
I have a number of scanned images and some of them are displayed and some are not. I've tried both extracting them from the database or from the file system (using READ_IMAGE_FILE). Sometimes I am getting just blank field in my image item and sometimes (after using READ_IMAGE_FILE) I get the error FRM-47100 (cannot read image file). Of course I've checked that all the files are displayed using standard tools for displaying TIFFs.
Basically the question is what kind of TIFF is considered valid and readable by Oracle Forms.
Analyzing TIFF tags actually gave me nothing: I have a pair of files with tags different only in image width/length and a number of rows/strip (but even those values are close), and one of the file is displayed correctly while the other is not. The thing I noticed is that invalid files are using compression type of CCITT Group 4.
Possibly Oracle Forms follows TIFF specification only to certain extent and does not support all the extensions, while sometimes the problems are not visible to user.
As a result of my work I need some automatic tool that converts undisplayable TIFF files to displayable ones but firstly I am to determine where the problem is. And it would be very good to have a prooflink that approves my decision.
Looking forward to any help! Thanks in advance.

Thanks to everybody, but I'm afraid my files don't contain any EXIF tags (although TIFF seems to support them). The file doesn't contain any tags with IDs greater than 0x7FFF but only core TIFF tags (with IDs of lower numbers). Moreover I have a file with exactly the same set of tags (but the values are a bit different) which is displayed properly.
I've shared the issued file (nondisplayable) on the following link: [https://rapidshare.com/files/3137807470/2.tif]
If anyone could tell me why isn't it displayed in Forms I would be very grateful.

How could I load image via a Form when it is in runtime by not using default block

1. How could I load image from my local computer to the database via a Form when it is in runtime?
2. And how to display the image stored in the database on a Form ?
Thanks buddy ~
A nice member answered this question already, but I want to know how could I do it by using manual create block instead of using database item directly~
Could anyone help me pls~

This is the only way I know right now:
1) Create this table
SQL> desc av_data
Name Null? Type
BLOB_ID NOT NULL NUMBER(10)
BLOB_TYPE NOT NULL VARCHAR2(10)
DESCRIPTION NOT NULL VARCHAR2(25)
BLOB_DATA LONG RAW
2) On form create a button with this 'when-btn-prssed' tgr:
DECLARE
     v_dirname          VARCHAR2(255);
     v_filename          VARCHAR2(255);
BEGIN
     v_dirname := 'C:\';
     v_filename := get_file_name(v_dirname, NULL,
     'Bitmap file (*.bmp)|*.bmp|'                    ||
     'JPEG file (*.jpg)|*.jpg|'          );
     IF v_filename IS NOT NULL THEN
read_image_file(v_filename, 'ANY',
'av_data_image.blob_data');
     END IF;
END;
3) Add this pre-insert trigger too :
:av_data_image.blob_type := 'IMAGE';
Sorry if this is not exactly the answer you're looking for.

Scanning an Image via a form into a database

I was wondering if anyone might have any ideas on how a form could be implemented that interfaces with a scanner to aquire an image and then store that image in a database
Thanks
Jonathan Smith

its possible in Forms 5 and above with ActiveX control, the WangImage.Ocx can be used to scan the image and store the image into your ORACLE 7.x/8.X database.
all the properties,methods of Registred ActiveX available in procedures & packages, to get these procedures in forms use OLE Importer option and choose the required OCX.
with this u can easily program and control the Scanner.
for more info. & Demo form contact me at,

Displaying images in oracle forms

I am trying to dynamically display bmp files in an image item. The problem is that the image does not show up if the size of the image item is smaller than the actual image size and also no error is generated. I have tried setting sizing=Adjust and that does not work. Infact if i set sizing =adjust forms never displays the image file.
help..................

You are right i just meant to say i am using the read_image_file builtin when i said dynamic. The problem seems to be with displaying the image if sizing is set =adjust. Infact the same application was working with forms 4.5 but is not working anymore after i generated it in forms 60

Initiating an HTTPS post via Oracle Forms 6i

Greetings all...
Here is my problem. I would love some advise/next steps on solving it.
We are currently using web-version of Forms 6i with the JInitiator 1.1.8.16. I have a new requirement for an existing form where it needs to initiate an HTTPS "post" (not "get") to a remote server and then receive a response of success or not and some other information that the form will then act upon. I believe this means I cannot simply use the "web.show_document" built-in because it uses the "get" method rather than the "post" method.
Although I am a veteran Forms developer, I am new to all this java stuff. It has been recommended to me that I incorportate a JavaBean into the form to call on this remote service, but I have no idea what that means -- I've never opened JDeveloper. It was also mentioned that maybe there is already a JavaBean in existence that I can just use. I don't know what details of my situation would be useful to know to determine if one exists or not. Does this possibly existing JavaBean need to know already which URL I want to go to? Will it need to know the exact parameters I want to pass or could there be a JavaBean out there to simply "call any URL using the post method" regardless of the number of parameters to send it?
I've looked through some of the forum for this question and since I'm clueless on java stuff, I didn't find anything that jumped out as an answer for me. Can someone (or many of you would be fine) clue me on the best approach? Thanx.
Shane.

Since the initial post above, I've discovered more to this situation that doesn't give me much hope of implementation.
The "response" that I get back from the remove service is simply a "redirect" telling the initiating browser to go to a URL that I have to set up. When the response comes back, the remote service will tell the browser to go to this redirected URL with the "responses" as parameters in the URL resulting in the user's browser calling this "redirect" URL with a "get" method.
Not sure what all that means to be honest, but am wanting to learn.
Shane.

Image Scan in Oracle Forms 6i

Dear all,
I need help to scan image from Oracle Form Builder 6i and store the image location in the oracle 9i database.
Here important issue is we just store the image location in the database not the image.
We'll store the images in a storage device and store the location path in the database. And retrive the image from storage device using the path.
For example: User Scan the image using Form builder 6i then save the image like 1001-DPS-1.jpg in the default location like D:\Image\.....
And in oracle 9i database data save like : 1001 DPS 1 D:\Image\1001-DPS-1.jpg User_Name Sysdate
Data save automatically in the database when image scanned and saved in physical drive. This is our main purpose.
Is it possible to solve this task using Oracle 9i and Developer 6i??? Need all of your urgent help. Please help me in this regard. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You can define a Form Function filling the basic information and
HTML call Set as OracleOasis.RunDiscoverer. You can even define Paramters during the form function registration. With this definition you will able to create a link to a Discoverer workbook that will automatically open Discoverer Plus or Viewer to display the workbook using Apps security.
Please refer to the following Metalink Note for more details:

Hope This helps
