Invoke external application from Oracle Application Form

Hi,
I need to invoke external application such as AutoCAD from Oracle Apps Form. Does anyone know how this could be done.
Form Version : 12.0.11.12010000.2
Oracle Applications Release R12.
Thanks,
Ash

You can use DDE.App_Begin to open apps such as MS word.
Try and see if it works for you.
The other option is you add a menu option (called Launch Autocad) using personalization.
And then use personalization to launch a web page. This assumes that Autocad app is available as a web service.
Hope this helps,
Sandeep Gandhi

Application Express verion
Application Express 3.0.0.00.20
I am using my own Custom Function authentication which will check against eBusiness login Username and password.
When I intially access I get below URL
http://ortest.eatonsteel.com:8010/pls/htmldb/apps.xxapplication_express_pkg.Launch_103_Application
In this URL I was entering eBusiness User Login details and I press OK Button
Then it is redirecting to below URL
http://ortest.eatonsteel.com:8010/pls/htmldb/f?
and it throws below error
Expecting p_company or wwv_flow_company cookie to contain security group id of application owner.
Error ERR-7620 Could not determine workspace for application ().
OK
When I press OK button it is redirecting me to below URL again

Invoke function from oracle application express

Hello,
I am using oracle application express 10g.
I wrote a simple function.
I want to call the function from oracle application express.
*Is it possible to invoke the function from oracle application express?*
I search the web and find no example for it.
Can you please write any good links for an example? What have I missed?_
I am really stuck with it. Any help will be appreciated!
Thanks a lot,
Niron.

Hi,
You can call function in e.g. computations, validations and process like you call it in SQL sheet.
Process example to get value to variable from function sending item value as parameter
DECLARE
l_my_var varchar2(32700);
BEGIN
l_my_var := my_function(:Px_MY_ITEM);
/* other code */
END;Regards,

How to call a web Service from Oracle Applications?

Hi friends,
I've posted this question on OA Framework forum , but may be it's more appropiated put it here. Sorry for do it again:
It's about how to call a web service from a Form or a .sql (via Request) in Oracle Applications:
Could you please explain here the detailed steps (with code example if it's possible) to invoke a webservice from Oracle Applications?.. how did yo do it...?
I've read differents posts here and the 33097.1 metalink note (by the way, the first recommended link in this note is broken...), but there are lots of theorical concepts and no real examples to see how/from where invoke the WS
I'll have to call one webservice (I suppose the customer will give me the interface implementation)...but I've never did it with Applications so that's why I ask you for all the detailed steps...
I work with Forms 6i, Apps 11.5.10.2 and DB 9.2.0.7.
Thanks a lot.
Jose.

Hello Jose,
I did using java program to call BPEL web services in 11.5.10.
I pasted below the metalink note for your reference (Note:250964.1)
The idea is first write a java program to call the webservice (in my case it is calling an BPEL web service, so this may not help directly), test it.
Then port the java program as specified in the note, so that you could call your web service through concurrent manager scheduler.
Is this ok?
Thanks
Arun.

Calling workbook from oracle application 11.03

hi,
i want to call one report of discoverer from oracle application 11.03 request set.if any one has done this ever or have any idea how should i do this,please reply back.
thanks in anticipation
null

hi,
this will help u in solving the problem.
This can be simply achieved via the following steps:
Add a 'Push Button' to an existing form, where you wish Discoverer to be run from.
Add a standard 'WHEN_BUTTON_PRESSED' trigger to this button.
Edit the trigger to insert the HOST command referencing the Discoverer executable(including the full path), plus the command line options you require. An example of this is shown below:
HOST('C:\ORAWIN95\DISCVR31\DIS31USR.EXE /CONNECT SCOTT/TIGER /OPENDB TESTQUERY1 /SHEET ALL');
In this example, command line options have been appended to the Discoverer executable to first connect as a specific user, then open a Workbook that has been saved to the database, and then run all the sheets in the workbook. These command line functions are optional and there are others that can be used to perform various functions. For more information on the complete Command Line options available, see Chapter 13, section 13.3, of the Discoverer 3.1 Administration Guide or see the following WebIV Note copy of the same:
Note.68739.1 - Complete Command Line Options for Discoverer 3.1(Admin & User Edition)
Other references
For command line options available with the 3.0.8 release of Discoverer(which were only available for the 'User Edition' in this release), see the following note:
Note.44841.1 - Command Line Parameters With Discoverer 3.0 User Edition

Launch Discoverer 10g from Oracle Applications Menu

Please provide steps to launch Discoverer 10g from Oracle applications menu.
Thanks in advance.
suresh

Hi,
Follow these steps....
The process is in 3 stages _(stage 1 will be done only once for all the reports)._
Stage 1:
Set the application discoverer relevant parameters.
Perform this stage only once.
1.1 Enter the application in System Administrator responsibility.
1.2 Choose menu 'Profile' and then submenu 'System'.
1.3 Find the desired profile by filling 'Icx%Discoverer%' and press Find button.
1.4 Fill the fields (only the values) as described in the table of values bellow.
Parameter Value
ICX: Discoverer Default End User Layer Schema Prefix your eul name without the suffix (_US).
note that if you have several invs it can be diffrent between them.
ICX: Discoverer End User Layer Language Override American English
ICX: Discoverer Launcher http://your_server_name:7777/discoverer/viewer?Connect=[APPS_SECURE]
ICX: Discoverer Release 10 or any other that you are using
ICX: Discoverer Viewer Launcher http://your_server_name:7777/discoverer/viewer?Connect=[APPS_SECURE]
ICX: Discoverer use Viewer Yes (or not if you want plus to open - but change the viewer to plus in the link as well - the previos parameter)
Don't forget to press save button.
Stage 1 Ends.
Stage 2:
Build an oracle application function for each discoverer report.
Perform this stage for each report.
2.1 Enter the application in System Administrator responsibility.
2.2 Choose menu 'Application' and then submenu 'Function'.
2.3 Fill needed values in each tab by the next instructions (function values)
2.3.1 Description tab – fill the function, function user name and the description. Notice that the function value should be without spaces.
2.3.2 Properties tab – fill the:
Function with the same name you have choose in the previous tab,
Type with 'SSWA plsql function',
Maintenance Mode Support with 'None' (Default value),
Context Dependence with 'Responsibility' (Default value).
2.3.3 Form tab- fill the:
Function with the same name you have choose in the previous tab,
Form & Application fields leave empty,
Parameters – there are two options available:
1st Leave it empty – will cause the function to open the discoverer all reports web page and user will have to choose a specific report from the list .
2nd Fill it with value '=workbook=name of the workbook' but without spaces, convert the spaces (if there are any) from the workbook name to + (plus) sign.
For example '=workbook=BI+SERVICE+Performance' represents the string for the 'BI SERVICE Performance' report.
Note: you can also send parameters to the report but since almost all the parameters have a default value (accept from dates) it's not necessary.
2.3.4 Web HTML tab – fill the HTML call with ' OracleOASIS.RunDiscoverer'.
Don't forget to press save button.
Stage 2 Ends.
Stage 3:
Build an oracle application menu or submenu for each discoverer report that represented by the function you has created in stage 2.
Perform this stage for each pair - responsibility + report/function.
3.1 Enter the application in System Administrator responsibility.
3.2 Choose menu 'Security' and then submenu 'Responsibility' and then submenu 'Define'.
3.3 Locate the needed menu by the responsibility that you want to enable her to use the report – of course that the report should be granted for the responsibility via discoverer mechanism as well.
Do it by clicking on the flashlight that located in the left upper corner and find the needed responsibility.
3.4 Find the needed responsibility and select her via next screen (Don't forget to use % as wildcards)-choose by double click on her
3.5 Copy the menu name that related to the responsibility you have choose from the menu field located in the next screen and close the window.
3.6 From the navigator screen choose menu 'Application' and then submenu 'Menu'.
3.7 Locate the menu that you've copied in 3.5 (with the flashlight and the find screen, double click on the menu name – similar to 3.3 and 3.4) via next screen.
3.8 Press on the 'add record' sign (+) that located in the right upper corner of the screen (Do it after the mouse sign and focus is in the rows as you can see the oval mark).
3.9 Fill the prompt with what you want the user to see in the menu that will activate the report link and after fill the user function name as you have build her in stage 2 (Don't forget to save it).
Don't forget to press save button.
Stage 3 Ends.

Copying text from Oracle Applications Window to other Application windows

Hi All,
I am not able to copy text from oracle applications windows to my other application windows.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Amit

Check in your organization who is able to copy the text. Then from that user machine, who is able to copy text, copy identitydb.obj file and copy to your machine (overwrite the current one)
Then clear its jcache and browser cache one time. From that point forward they can connect to both instances. This is accomplished as follows:
1. On each Client PC, you will need the new instance 1 (TEST) version of this identitydb.obj file located C:\Program Files\Oracle\identitydb.obj (default location )
2. Clear Jinitiator jcache : On the client PC delete all files found in c:\Program Files\oracle\jinitiator 11727 Export\jcache
3. Clear browser cache:
a) Netscape : Edità Preferencesà Advancedà cache and delete Memory Cache and Disk Cache
b) Internet Explorer : Toolsà Internet Options à delete Temporary Internet Files
For any further assistance pls. feel free to ask.

How to invoke crystal reports from Oracle forms 11g R2 along with passing p

How to invoke crystal reports from Oracle forms 11g R2 along with passing parameter to it.
how to pass parameters to crystal report, please help.

how to pass parameters to crystal report, please help.This would entirely depend on crystal reports and you might find informations on crystal reports related communities more likely...I for one have seen crystal reports the last time about 12 years ago. And even back then I simply acknowledged it's existence instead of working with it.
Maybe crystal reports can be invoked via a URL call which would make it simple as you'd need simply build an URL and show the report using web.show_document. But that's pure speculation. Also you might not be the first with this requirement, so the solution to your problem might be right under your nose and just a little google search away ;)

Link/checklist for migrating applications from Oracle 9i to Oracle 11g?Help

Hi all,
We need to perform an impact analysis on migratiing an application from Oracle 9i to Oracle 11g. Does any of you have a detailed checklist to follow, in terms of queries, PL/SQL statements, optimizer etc. etc., when attempting this migration. We require something more specific from the application point of view rather than a DBA point of view.
Additionally, we have queries written extensively with rule hints. Should there be a special consideration for the same since now we are moving to CBO in 11g
Even if any one has a link, that would help. Thank you so much!

Hi Nikhil,
Thanks Xaheer,You're welcome :)
I'm going through the link: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e10819/toc.htm
But it still mentions stuff from a DBA angle. I need from an application angle.
Do I need to change my queries taht are current written with RBO? Do I need to change Pl/SQL blocks ?Please refer tech below notes:
*1)TROUBLESHOOTING: Server Upgrade Results in Slow Query Performance -- 160089.1*
*2)TESTING SQL PERFORMANCE IMPACT OF AN ORACLE 9i TO ORACLE DATABASE 10g RELEASE 2 UPGRADE WITH SQL PERFORMANCE ANALYZER -- 562899.1*
Before upgrading your production database, please perform upgrade of test database and do complete testing.
Hope helps

Migration of application from Oracle Express 6.3.4 to Essbase 9

I got a requirement to migrate an application from Oracle Express to Essbase.Can any one help me if there is any documentation for migration or else do I have to rebuild a new application in Essbase with the same functionality as in Oracle Express.
Rgrds,
G.K

As far as I am aware there is no migration tool to convert to essbase and you will have to build a new application in essbase.
On a side note this campaign from Oracle back in 1998 amuses me - http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=4VEEAAAAMBAJ&lpg=PA17&ots=Amg-YO3m5X&pg=PA17#v=onepage&q&f=false
The line "Oracle Express Server slaughtered Arbor Essbase in both load and calculation times and query times" is a classic.
I wonder if Oracle feel the same way now :)
Cheers
