Is it possible to launch Oracle Forms from Oracle Discoverer?

If so, please provide documentation on how to do it.

It is not possible. The Forms runtime is a C Process; that runtime, that interprets FMX files, only exists in Oracle Application Server, so you need to have OAS or Weblogic to run Forms.

  • Is it possible to launch a form from an OAF page using OAF Personalization

    In R11, the Customer Standard form ARXCUDCI was customized to call a custom block from the Address screen. In R12 the customer standard form has become an OAF page. We have decided to create a custom form for the custom block using Oracle Developer. However we need a mechanism to call this custom form from the Customer Standard OAF page.
    My query is if it is possible to call a custom form from an OAF page using OAF personalization only (i.e. without directly customizing the code of the OAF page)
    Thanks
    Sanjay

    Dear Apurba,
    I have made some progress.
    I have open the Customers OAF Page, queried a customer, selected a site and opened it.
    Then chose Personalize "Account Site Address"
    There I added a Button on the Header Address level
    ID=XXTVL_LASSY_BUTTON
    Populated the Additional Text and Prompt properties.
    Also set Destination URI=form:SYSADMIN:SYSTEM_ADMINISTRATOR:STANDARD:FND_FNDMNMNU.
    The button is now showing in the address page, and when I click on it it opens the seeded Menu form.
    I now have to create the custom form and set Destination URI to the Custom Form.
    I am also aware how to add parameters to Destination URI.
    But could you let me know how to read the value from a OAF page form field and reference it in Destination URI.
    I need the value of PARTY_SITE_ID of the Address OAF page.
    Alternatively, the Site Number is displayed on the OAF page. If I can read it that will also do. I can use the Site Number in the custom form rather than PARTY_SITE_ID
    Thanks

  • Importing Reports and Forms from Oracle to Portals

    Hi,
    I have read somewhere that it is possible to import all ready created reports and forms from Oracle and view them as a Portlet in Portals. Is this actually possible and if so where do I begin??
    Could there be an issue with rights, this is all new to our DBA and we have only just got permission to publish forms created in Portals to the repository. Any ideas??

    Welcome to the forum. Please take a while to go through the FAQ to be found to the top right of the page.
    Your issue is more to do with batch files rather than Forms. The only relation with Forms, as I see it, is that you will be using HOST/CLIENT_HOST to start a batch file with the file name to be deployed as a parameter passed to it.
    You need to rewrite either a CMD batch file or a Powershell script to achieve what have set out to do.
    For CMD batch files look up http://www.robvanderwoude.com/battech.php , or any of the other excellent resources available on the internet.

  • Launch 6i Form from 11i?

    Hi all, I'm having a lot of trouble finding info on how to launch/run a 6i form from Oracle Apps 11i. The form would be launched when a button is pressed.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    is 11i built with Forms 6i? If yes then open_form, new_form or call_form is used. If 11i uses Forms 9i then you use web.show_document("URL of Forms 6i on the web','_blank');

  • Oracle Forms from 6i to 10g -only blank screen is displaying after deployme

    I have converted oracle Forms from 6i to 10g (almost 10 forms). In the development environment all 10 forms are working fine without any problems. I have deployed the forms in the server. Now all the forms are working fine except one form. Only blank screen is displaying in this case. What could be the reason? How to resolve this issue? This form is also working fine in the development environment.
    Thanks for all your suggestions.

    some possibilities:
    1. check the java console of the plugin you use (Jinitiator, Sun-plugin) and see if there are any errors reported.
    2. Do a full recompile of the form (ctrl+Shift+K, at least in german version)
    3. Maybe a navigation problem (seems unlikely for it works in dev-environment, but give it a try):
    Create a new block, put a navigable textitem in it and show that textitem on your canvas, but that block as first navigatin block in the form-properties.
    4. Check other Pre-triggers(Pre-block, pre-textitem) if they are executed and may fail.
    hope this helps

  • Call Oracle form from pl/sql

    Dear All
    How can I call Oracle form from pl/sql and open this form to end user
    many thanks

    Hshihadah wrote:
    how can I show this form to specific client ?What client?!? Database PL/SQL is executed within a process on the database server, it's not something which is executed on the client. Could you please elaborate a little bit more?
    By now I have not the faintest clue if you want to
    - call a form from another form ( call_form )
    - call a form within a database process (?!?)
    - call your form from a client you did not tell us (probably APEX?!?)
    For the case you really meant to call a form within Database PL/SQL: Just in case you didn't recognize it, but the database is perfectly capable of PL/SQL and as calling a form within a database process is a one-way street as you cannot interact with it there is no point at all in writing the things you want to do in forms. If you want some PL/SQL code executed on the database then...well...put it in a stored procedure in the database!

  • How to call a Oracle Form from within the APEX

    Hi,
    I have a requirment where need to call a oracle form from within the Oracle APEX application?
    I will appriciate if can someone help me out.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    are you working with Forms 6i or 10g?
    If you want to call a forms 10g page. Just use a button with javascript:
    - Target type: URL
    - URL Target: javascript:window.open ('http://<server>:<port>/forms/frmservlet?config=<conf>','Forms window');
    With Forms 6i you can open the directory where your forms file is inside (works just with IE):
    <script type="text/javascript">
    function fnc_window()  {w = open('C:\\FormsFiles', "winLov","scrollbars=yes,resizable=no,width=600,height=400");
    if (w.opener == null)
    w.opener = self;
    </script>Or execute the forms file with vbscript (IE only):
    <script language = "vbscript">
    sub fnc_forms()
    dim progName
    progName = "c:\FormsFiles\myForm.exe"
    set oShell = createobject("wscript.shell") 'create a shell
    '***use the line below to call your app, defined above with the "progName" variable:
    oShell.run(progName)
    end sub
    </script>

    hi rao !
    you can also use v$session dynamic performance view to get ip of any connected user.
    this view can give almost all information about any connected session, but you must
    have administrative privileges to query this view.

  • Migration from Oracle Forms to Oracle Apex 3.2

    Hi I am learning Apex, I mainly work in Oracle developer. I have converted one Oracle form into Oracle Apex. the migrated Form appears on the screen,works, but not as I like it to be. All the triggers are migrated into Apex but they don't work as they did in Oracle Form. I cant make the form work as it should be. please help.

    Triggers in forms will NOT work EXACTLY like they do in Forms, that is the nature of the beast.. APEX runs under a browser and you are running with html events to trap on..
    Suggestion, the Forms conversion tools converts only so much, you will have to do some work to get what you want. Also, I would suggest re-evaluating your application, since it was probably a client server based application, moving it to the web will involve some re-engineering..
    Thank you,

  • How to call Oracle Form within Oracle Form?

    Hi,
    I have a requirement to call a customized Oracle Form from standard Oracle Form (Special Information screen) and vice versa.
    Then need to display the person detail accordingly.
    Is it possible to be done? Appreciate guidance on this item.
    Thanks and Regards,
    SC

    Veerendra,
    Sounds like you are using the Oracle E-business Suite (EBS). If that is the case, opening a form is different in the EBS than it is in a non-EBS Forms application. You have the register the Custom Form in the EBS for starts.
    This question should be posted in the General EBS Discussion forum not here. Also, I recommend you take a look at the Oracle Applications Documentation and find the "Oracle Applications Developer's Guide".

  • Oracle Forms and Oracle HTML DB

    Hi,
    can anyone please tell me the difference between oracle forms and oracle htmldb.
    i need to create web applications to display data from database and upload newly entered data in to the database.
    can the above be done by both forms and htmldb.
    which one is better.

    Both can display data from the database via the web.
    With the very little criteria you mentioned, I would recommend HTML DB. With more details about the requirements, I may change that recommendation.
    I have been working with HTML DB off and on for about one year. I have taken one 3-day course. I have worked with Oracle Forms since 1987 version 2.0, so I know quite a bit about it.
    Here are my reasons:
    1.) File upload is easier in HTML DB. HTML DB provides an easy means for uploading a file to the database and processing it.
    2.) HTML DB is included as part of the database product. There is no other licensing fee for it. Oracle Forms is part of the Oracle IDS product which a separate purchase from the database.
    3.) For HTML DB all you need is the database and the HTTP server program running. It is easy to install, even for a DBA non-webmaster type person. (DBAs who are also webmasters please do not hammer me on this comment.) For Oracle Forms on the web, you need the Oracle Application Server up and running which is a major undertaking. It also needs its own Oracle database running for the infrastructure.
    4.) Since you are asking about both, I would assume that you are not familiar with either product and will need to be trained. HTML DB is easier learn than Oracle Forms. Oracle Forms is very powerful, but with that power comes a lot to learn.
    Oh yea, did I mention that if you own the Oracle database, you also own HTML DB!! ;)

  • Questions on the comparison between Oracle Forms and Oracle APEX

    Hi All,
    The link below presents information about Oracle Application Express for Oracle Forms Developers, the table at the end of the page shows a comparison between Oracle Forms and Oracle APEX, all the points of comparisons are clear for me except 3 points which are:
    •Locking, what is meant by locking models?
    •Database Connections, what is meant by Synchronous/Asynchronous connections in Oracle Forms and Oracle Apex?
    •Architecture, what is meant by 2tier and 3 tier connections?
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/apex_for_forms.html
    What I need is a simple explanation for these points without deep details.
    Thanks

    Hi
    That is how I understand that document:
    Locking: Forms, by default, locks a row as soon as the user starts modifying the data. That is pessimistic locking. Apex, on other hand (and optionally forms also) do not lock the record, but before applying any changes checks if the data has changed since the user queried it (what for some reason is called optimistic "locking")
    DB connections: I am not sure why they used the terms synchronous/asynchronous, but the difference is that Forms, by default, keeps an permanent DB connection while the user is using the application, while Apex gets a connection from a connection pool every time a page is requested/submitted.
    Architecture: Forms (in its web version at least) has 3 tiers: the browser, the appserver where the forms service runs and the database. As Apex runs inside the database, there are only 2 tiers: the browser and the database (though you still may need an http server in between which serves static content, I don't think it is considered part of the application in this context). If you are talking about client/server forms, then there are only 2 tiers.
    I hope this helps!
