Is it possible to use an answers file to automate oracle Forms installation

Hi
We want to install Forms 6i and the Open Client Adapter on several hundred pcs. We can't do it remotely as the pcs are not on our domain.
Is it possible to set up an automatic install of the components that we need so our desktop staff don't have to select the components/Oracle home etc on each install? Can an "answers file" be used to achieve this?
thanks
Paul Schweiger

Ok well I won't argue with that then :)
You may be able to create a custom installation - I did this with the Oracle ORCA package many years ago. I'm not sure whether you can do this sort of thing with the universal installer ... not sure which version 6i uses !

"Your bootable USB drive could not be created" "Boot Camp only supports 64-bit Windows installation on this platform. Please use an ISO file for 64-bit Windows installation."

I try to install windows7 system on my macbook air, which version is 10.8.5. When I open the bootcamp, it let me to choose a windows ISO image, which I've already downloaded from this website: http://www.w7forums.com/threads/official-windows-7-sp1-iso-image-downloads.12325 /, it also asked me to select a USB drive, which is kingston that has 8GB. Then when I clicked "continue", it said that "Your bootable USB drive could not be created" "Boot Camp only supports 64-bit Windows installation on this platform. Please use an ISO file for 64-bit Windows installation." But actually the ISO image I downloaded is 64-bit windows7. I don't know why this would happen. Could someone help me please!!

Thanks for your feedbakc Kiranjj!
I identified the reason to be that the W8 installation file didn't download completely from a Mac OS-device. I downloaded from another Win-device and the moved the installation file with a USB-stick and then everything worked diectly! But thanks anyway.

Installing Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 using ISOs, Answer Files and Driver files over PXE boot

I have a validation lab that uses Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 on several completely different systems. I am looking for an easy way for the techs to PXE boot from a 2012 Server, select the OS to install and have the OS installed with drivers so when they come back
to the system it has the OS installed with no Bangs in Device Manager.
I have done this in the past (7-8 years ago) and it was fairly easy. Now from what I read it appears I have to create "Image" files for each system type? I hope I am misreading this because that method is counter-productive to create 10 different
images for 10 different systems.
I thought I used WDS and AIK on a 2K3 Server but I don't remember.
Is there a method/tool to install the operating systems as I described above using original OS ISOs, unattended answer files and driver files? WDS or SCCM? AM I misreading how it works?

Consider using newer Windows ADK

Is it possible to use multiple css files in epub?

For fixed layout I would like to use multiple css files.
Is it allowed by apple requirements?

Yes. ePub suports multiple CSS files and therefore so does Apple iBooks.

Using unattend install files to automate the creation of Win7 pooled VDIs in 2012 remote desktop services

Hi All,
I have a problem that I have been working on for the past week and hoping someone can provide the missing link for me.
Background
We currently have a 2008 "VDI" environment with both personal and pooled Windows 7 desktops deployed to thin clients. We have just set up our first 2012 Hyper-V server and plan to deploy pooled and personal VDIs under 2012. I have been working
on the process and successfully created both pooled and personal Windows 7 desktops using the Remote Desktop Services and creating the collections.
I created the golden image and sysprep'd it (/Generalize /OOBE /Shutdown). During the creation of the Pool collection I manually inputted the Virtual settings (i.e. the OU, etc). I notice there is an option to supply an unattend.xml file with the answers.
We are deploying the pool into a computer lab in the school for the students to use. I want the pool to revert to the pristine state after the student logs off.
Problem
When the user logs into the pooled desktop I notice that the activation for the Windows license has not been run. I am trying to use the unattend file to activate the license before the first log-in. Using the Windows System Image Maker I've install our
volume license key, but it does not activate. The only option I have to activate it is to run a synchronous command during first login. This can only be inserted in the OOBE phase. When the user logs in the license activates, but when they log out,
the machine reverts to the pristine state.
I confess I'm newbie to unattend installs but I've been reading the docs on line trying to figure out how to change this behavior. I'm also assuming this won't be a problem with the personal desktops pools.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Please make sure to following guide like this link to deploy the virtual desktops
Windows 8 / Windows Server 2012: Pooled Virtual Desktop Infrastructure
http://blogs.technet.com/b/askperf/archive/2012/10/31/windows-8-windows-server-2012-pooled-virtual-desktop-infrastructure.aspx
Regarding to activation, see introduction in this link:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn645522.aspx
Which did you use? for KMS as an example, you have to activate the master\template VM with the Windows version specific KMS Key and make sure that your KMS Server is auto discoverable.
The snapshot on the automatically created pooled collection VM is taken before KMS activation is initiated from the guest OS. So the KMS activation would take place only after user logs on. once the rollback is enabled, the pooled VM will
rollback to clean state and may perform the windows activation again when any user logs on to the VM again.
And you mentioned that you're using WSIM and installed Volume License Key, (I suppose you mean that you've typed the key in the "Product Key Selection" in WSIM), but as I know, we should leave the product key blank if you are using KMS host
for activation.

How to create and modify an XML file from an Oracle Form

I would like to build an Oracle Form to maintain a small XML file in the file system (i.e. Not in Oracle database but in the operating system).
I would like the Form to display existing values from the XML file and the user can update and save content back to the XML file.
Can any one tell me how this can be done? Thanks.

Does Forms 9i provide any XML Parser Functions?
Can I insert the XML file into a table column by inserting XML using the XSU Front End rather than using TEXT_IO to maintain the XML file directly?
Can I use XSU PL/SQL API in Forms to retrieve and modify XML values?
Any help is appreciated.

Problem using views containing xpath expressions with Oracle Forms

Mark,
Nice to see you back on the forum answering questions.
This example is based on the standard purchaseorder schema.
i registered the schema, created a relational table and then created
a view using xpath.everything works well and i am able to select the data
using sql*plus. Now this views is like any other view, when i describe the
view, i can see the all the data types are valid for the columns and also the lengths.
Now when i try to base a data block in oracle forms using this view, i get error
"ORA-24324 - service handle not initialized."
Whereas if i create another view on top of the first view and then base the data block on this view, it works for me. i described the second view from sql*plus and everything seems to be same for me.
this is the same behaviour from database 9i r2 and it exists in 10g r1 also.
Any hints as what might be the problem or you would like me to file a tar for this.
create or replace view purchaseorder_header_xml
as
select id
       ,extractvalue(xml_data, '/PurchaseOrder/Reference') reference
       ,extractvalue(xml_data, '/PurchaseOrder/Requestor') requestor
       ,extractvalue(xml_data, '/PurchaseOrder/User')      po_user
       ,extractvalue(xml_data, '/PurchaseOrder/CostCenter') costcenter
       ,extractvalue(xml_data, '/PurchaseOrder/SpecialInstructions') spl_instructions
from tab_xmldata
create or replace view purchaseorder_header
as select * from purchaseorder_header_xml
/Raghu

Not used Forms for years. However I suspect that Forms is trying to poke around behind the view and not understanding what it sees. I expect you'll need to open a Forms Tar to get to the bottom of this. It also appears that you a workaround which is to create a view on the view by the sound of it..

Use of Times ten database with Oracle Forms 11g

Hi,
We need to use some caching / pre-fetching solution with Oracle Forms 11g. Is there a possibility that Oracle Forms 11g can be used with Times ten database.
Regards,

We have never tested TimesTen with Forms 11g but we suspect there are issues that may prevent if from being used.
Sorry.

Make file directory from Oracle form (web)

Hi,
I'm using WebUtil to upload files to server thru Oracle form, my problem is if the file directory doesn't exist, how do I have it made at run time?
Thanks,
Jess

You could use the HOST built in to create the directory with a CMD prompt
e.g.
HOST('cmd /C mkdir "'||directory_name||'"', NO_SCREEN);
Don't forget the "'s incase the directory name has spaces in it.

Using Java Access bridge (Accessibility) with oracle forms 6.0 client

I'm trying to use JAB (java Access bridge ) to capture events in oracle forms 6.0 client .
I've a Jinitiator 1.1.8 and JRE version 1.4x
I've configured JAB as per the installation guide . However the events don't surface in Java Monkey .
Has anybody encountered similar issue ? what is the solution for the issue ??
Also on one of the forums I read Jinitiator 1.3x and above is automatically recognised by Java Access bridge .
For jinitiator version less than 1.3 manual configuration is required . however I haven;'t been able to find any on the oracle forms KB
Also here is the excerpt from the link http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/accessibility/faqs/index.html
Q: Are there special steps for using Java-based applications with assistive technology?
A: If the Oracle application is written in Java, such as JDeveloper or Oracle Forms (runtime), customers must first install the latest version of Sun's Java Access Bridge. The Java Access Bridge provides the integration with screen readers such as JAWS or SuperNova that support Java. You just download the Access Bridge and install it. Sun's AccessBridge 2.0x recognizes Oracle's JInitiator 1.3x and above so no manual configuration steps are necessary. The Access Bridge is available from: http://java.sun.com/products/accessbridge. At the time this document was written, Access Bridge 2.0.1 is the most current publicly available production release; Oracle recommends upgrading to this version. Sun's AccessBridge is bundled with Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) and can be found in the Java Runtime Engine (JRE). More information for configuring such products is in the respective product documentation, or on http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/accessibility/products/index.html.

How to use advanced PL/SQL concepts in oracle forms/reports

Hi all,
Can any one suggest me how to use the advanced PL/SQL Concepts(nested tables,PAA,Varrays,Objects...) in Oracle forms.
Actually i Created a Table having column of Varray datatype. now i want to create a item in oracle forms on this field. can any one suggest me the way to do this.
Thanks,
Kumar

Hello,
Have a look at this one:
http://sheikyerbouti.developpez.com/tutoforms10g/tutoforms10g.htm
particularly the chapter about block that contain a collection (2.3.3). The sample is built around a nested table but you have the idea to adapt it to work with a varray.
Kind regards,
Alex
