JHeadstart Designer Generator not in JHeadstart 10.1.3

What is the reason that JHeadstart 10.1.3 does not include the JHeadstart Designer Generator (JDG)? Why is JDG in 10.1.3 under consideration? Are there any better alternatives to migrate Designer applications to JEE applications?
Regards,
Rik

Rik,
The reason is that the JDG uses the Adf Business Components Generator under the covers which is no longer supported in JDeveloper 10.1.3.
See chapter 4 of the developers guide, which explains how you can use JDev 10.1.2 to do the migration, and then proceed with JDev 10.1.3 to generate the application. It's not ideal, but it works OK.
For a more thorough discussion of forms migration and alternatives, see the last section s of this white paper:

Yes, this is a known issue. We will fix this for the next release.
Having said that, the next release will contain the JHeadstart Forms2ADF generator which directly reads Oracle Forms .fmb files to ADF, without the need to use Oracle Designer, avoiding problems like this alltogether.

JHeadstart Application Generator in batch mode?

Hello,
We working in an environment based upon Continous Integration. Each night we re-create our application in a separate environment in order to validate the application.
Is there a way to start the JHeadstart Application Generator in batch mode?
Regards Leon Smiers

Hi Smiers,
I am trying to setup something similar with Continuous Integration. Did you find a solution to this? How can the java classes only be within the scope of JDev?
I have multiple app def files in JHS and would like to be able to do two things:
1: Create a batch file that will generate all apps, one after another, so developers do not have to monitor all the generations to start the next one.
2: Setup continuous Integration so that it will try generate all app defs to make sure they are valid and also to run tests.
We are trying to do this in ANT so a java API or custom ANT task to do this would be ideal.

AMIS releases set of JHeadstart Application Generator Extensions

Now you can have JHeadstart generate:
- radiobuttons (horizontal, vertical, grid-style)
- stacked regions and side-by-side regions
- JavaScript event code
- different prompts and displayTypes for Find, Table and Formpages
- Bubble help (balloon help)
- NLS enabled hint-text
- CSS styles per item, region or group
- LOVs that diplay and return more than one value
- a lot more than this
through the JAG Extensions just published by AMIS. See for all details, examples, instructions and the necessary software: http://technology.amis.nl/blog/index.php?p=225.
Note:
- it is for JHeadstart 10g (9.0.5.x) (not for ADF JHeadstart and not for JHeadstart 9i (9.0.4.x)
- it only affects JSP generation (not UIX)
- it is a consolidation of our JHeadstart Cookbook's recipes
- it is free (and not supported)
- just as manual post-generation changes are not covered by a migration to ADF JHeadstart, these generated extensions are (probably) not migrated. We may provide a migration facility of some sort to help you migrate the AMIS JAG Extensions.
We hope you will like this package. We would appreciate it, if you would let us know what you think!
best regards,

Lucas, just amazing.... ;-)
I hope you will provide a migration facility to JHS-ADF as it will be released in the (very) near future.

Command to execute the jheadstart application generator ?

Hi,
I would like to use Ant scripts to call a command to execute the jheadstart application generator. Just Wonder what is the command and parameters to do so.
Our project has multiple app defs, It may be useful to re-generate them all at some times.
Thanks,
Yongwen
Edited by: user2898674 on Jul 13, 2009 8:00 PM

Is it possible to run a java command to generate outside of Jdeveloper? There must be a java class to do the gen, I guess the question is if the gen relies on any of the jdeveloper design time objects.
It will be very helpful to integrate the generation in the build process. Our project is 100% jheadstart generatable (with a lot of customization templates) and includes about 10 application definition files.
Thanks,
Yongwen

Transitioning from Designer/Headstart to JDeveloper/JHeadstart

My company is considering transitioning from Designer/Headstart to JDeveloper/JHeadstart. I have a question on hardware/software requirements.
We currently have two MS Windows Server 2003 running our Oracle Application Servers.
Will we be able to use these servers for our OAS? Or will we need something else? I was planning to upgrade the OAS to the latest version as part of the upgrade. I'll also be making sure that the servers at least have the recommended hardware requirements for that version before the upgrade.
Thanks.

Hi,
Questions regarding server requirements for JHeadstart are basically questions regarding server requirements for JDeveloper/ADF (since JHeadstart is at runtime 'just' one library on top of ADF).
For alternative ways to find an answer to your question, please take a look at [this post|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=1072]

Can Designer generate ADF Entity Objects, View Objects and Apps Module ?

Hi all,
On what way can Designer integrate with JDeveloper (+ ADF) ?
Can Designer generate ADF Entity Objects, View Objects and Apps Module ?
Thank you for your help,
xtanto

Designer itself has no direct integration with JDeveloper. However, there are three options. First of all, you can get a JDeveloper extension (download this separately) that lets you create a Connection to a Designer repository. From that Connection you can find modules that you defined in Designer and generate Entity and View objects for the tables and columns that you used in those modules, and an Application Module. It does not create JSPs or other user interface objects.
Another option is to buy JHeadstart from Oracle. This contains a set of code generators and ADF extensions that include an ability to get information from a Designer repository. JHeadstart works fine for non-Designer users too, but was built by the same people who wrote Designer Headstart - they know the repository API intimately.
The third option is to download Oracle Designer Extension Builder (ODEB) which was just recently made available. This is a product of a collaboration between Designer users from the Oracle Development Tools Users Group (ODTUG) and Oracle to extend the capabilities of Designer with user written tools and utilities. You could use ODEB to write your own generators for ADF Business Components. Or you could wait and see if someone else in the user community does this. I hope that you or whoever does such a generator will be willing to share it with us all.

CG_REF_CODES Fail to generate in Designer Generator

When generating domains from designer, CG_REF_CODES is being used to store dynamic domains.
JHeadstart seems to have a problem with CG_REF_CODES. There isn't any component generated to use the CG_REF_CODES. We created the business component for the CG_REF_CODES manually. This results in a Business Component where a rowid as primary key is added to the fields. When we start to use the designer generator, everything works fine. After that, with the application generator the processing stops immediately. Even if we pull out all the references from the module to CG_REF_CODES, this fails when applying the application generator.
Some notes must be made:
1. The forms in Designer are Headstart Forms, which means the forms were originally generated by Headstart and afterwards they were modified by the developer. We know this is not very correct, but this is what we have at the moment.
2. The forms can be found as source file only.
3. Through reverse engineering a module is generated from the src form file.
We have some questions:
1. Does JHeadstart work with reverse engineered forms, which were originally created with Headstart ?
2. Does JHeadstart work with reverse engineered forms anyhow ?
3. What's the deal with CG_REF_CODES ?
We spoke to Ton van Kooten (Oracle Netherlands) and he asked us to post this message.
So we did.
Hope to hear from you soon

Rokesh,
The answer to questions 1 and 2 is yes. JHeadstart reads the designer metadata, it doesn't care how this metadata is created.
Dynamic domains in CG_REF_CODES are migrated by the JDG to a static domain defined in DomainDefinitions.xml.
You can change this after running the JDG as you suggested:
- create View Objects for each domain in CG_REF_CODES (with the where clause filtering on the domain name)
- In the Application Structure editor create a Lookup element on the attribute that should have the dynamic domain. In the Lookup element you can specify the appropriate domain ViewObject
- Remove the static domain reference created by the JDG: open the JHeadstart BC4J property editor on the ViewObject, select the attribute that should have the dynamic domain and clear the "Domain" property.
I am not sure the problem you have with runing the JAG is related to CG_REF_CODES. Can you try it with a fresh migration:
- create new project
- run the JDG
- run the JAG
- compile and run the application
Does that work?

How to use Designer Generator in JHS 10.1.3

I have migrated a sample form using JHS 10.1.2 on Jdev 10.1.2.
Now I am trying to do the same on Jdev 10.1.3 using JHS 10.1.3.
But I could not locate Designer Generator which will locate Modules of Repository of Oracle Designer, How should i do this?
Also, What is the equivalent connection in Jdev 10.1.3 for WorkArea Connection?
Note: I have successfully created a sample JSF-ADF BC project using the BC components generated from the HR Schema using the Wizard.
Kind Regards
Srihari

Hi Steven,
Thanks for your response.
I tried it in the same way, but while generating application, it is throwing the following errors:
JAG-00001.0 [ init ] Invalid property in application structure file. XML processing logged the following errors:
JAG-XML : <Line 22, Column 48>: XML-24538: (Error) Can not find definition for element 'Service'
Unable to validate service
This error is thrown during "Validating Application Definition using XSD."
Also, when I set the xmlns attribute of Service Tag Element to "http://www.oracle.com/jheadstart/applicationStructure", it is throwing different errors as few attributes were not expected.
Kind Regards

Convert a Live Cycle Designer generated PDF to regular acrobat PDF

Hi,
I am assigned to the task of converting Live Cycle Designer generated PDF to regular acrobat PDF. I tried all options know to me but cannot succeed. The forms in LC designer is a fillable form with two buttons at the bottom. (Print & reset). The controls on the forms are
Textbox
Checkbox
Print & reset buttons
I tried the following options
print to a new pdf but the form became non-fillable with no controls
importing into acrobat as new form but it said "document contran xml form and cannot be imported"
tried save as with no success
I am willing to re-do the form but trying to minimize the re-work
The add or edit fields on form menu is not available for the form generated in live cycle.
we want to get rid of all live cycle dependencies and stick to bare bones acrobat
Please help

The only way I can think of woudl be to print the XFA form to PDF (using the Print driver that comes with Acrobat). This will create an AcroForm PDF for you but all fields and structure wil be lost. This will give you the boiler plate, then you can use the Form Tools in Acrobat to lay fields on top of the form.
Note that if you want to change some of the boiler plate you will have to go back to Designer and repeat the process. You may want to bite the bullet and redo the form now.

Setting Target Version in Designer ES Not Working

I am using LiveCycle Designer ES and I save the form target version to Acrobat and Adobe Reader 8.0 or later. However, whenever I open the form in Acrobat I receive the JavaScript Warning Window telling me that "The PDF form requires a new version of Adobe Acrobat....". However it opens in Reader perfectly fine.
Is there a fix for this?

Thanks. Designer generates a PDF version 1.7 for the target versions 8.0 and 8.1. Acrobat is able to tell the difference from the xfa template version. So an xfa template version of 2.5 is 8.0 compatible while 2.6 is 8.1 compatible. The xfa template of your form is 2.6 therefore Acrobat thinks its an 8.1 compatible form. <template xmlns:xfa="http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-template/2.1/" xmlns="http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-template/2.6/"> The xfa template is set based on the target version. However, it will be bumped up if the form contains features not supported by the target version. So to fix your problem, you need to find out which xfa 2.6 feature the form is using and disable it. See if there is any target version warnings in the Report palette. Does that help solve your problem? Hélène Adobe Systems

Does anyone have a suggestion for an alternative to iCal that will interface with the Cloud? I find iCal to be poorly designed and not very efficient.

Does anyone have a suggestion for an alternative to iCal that will interface with the Cloud so it works on the iPhone and the Macbook? I find iCal to be poorly designed and not very efficient. I waste a lot of time entering information because you can't go to a specific day and enter information, nor can you navigate between months and add information on a specific date by clicking on the date. You can't easily scroll month-to-month and once you do by scrolling through nine months to get to where you want to be, you cannot enter information by clicking on a specific day in the month and entering information. I just called Apple and they verified that this is the way it works. You cannot go to a date and enter information, you keep getting thrown back to today and then you have to go into the calendar and change it manually on the screen. It is just not efficient.

APC, CyberPower are reliable.
Look for 1500VA. As example:

Design view not working after importing project from Flex Builder

After importing a project from Flex Builder to Flash Builder I am no longer able to see anything in the design view. I am using the flex 4.5 sdk.
Any idea how I can get this design view working? I heard it could have something to do with the metadata directory but am slightly lost here?...
Adam

Could you please provide more information as to what exactly are you importing. Also does Design View not lauch at all or does it give errors. Would it be possible for you to share the logs.
Meanwhile you can try cleaning the workspace and importing again to see if that solves the issue.

Headstart Designer generated form crashes with Java EOF error

When closing a form while in Enter Query mode, the form crashes & user is
disconnected from the database with error:
FRM-92100: Your connection to the server was interrupted.
Details:
Java Excepton
java.io.EOF Exception
at java.io.DataInputStream.readUnsignedByte(Unknown Source)
at oracle.forms.engine.Message.readDetails(Unknown Source)
at oracle.forms.netStreamMessageReader.run(Unknown Source)

Designer generates the ON-ERROR block level trigger. It has
execution style of BEFORE. Therefore, both the block level and
form level ON-ERROR triggers will fire.
Normally, in the block level trigger, Designer will generate
calls to its own message handling package to display any
constraint errors. However, Designer also allows you to specify
your own custom message handling package.
The package must contain:
- a procedure called PUSH
- a function called MSGGETTEXT, and
- a procedure called RAISE_FAILURE.
The preference MSGSFT, Package Used for Messaging, allows you to
record the name of the custom package.
Once you have recorded this in the preference, whenever you
generate a form, Designer will use your package and procedures
for its error handling code. That is why you see calls to
Headstart specific code in the block level ON-ERROR triggers.
If you want to customize the ON-ERROR triggers, you need to make
sure you understand how the MSGSFT preference is used. Read the
online help. Then, you can customize individual blocks by adding
application logic to the block, or you can add your own ON-ERROR
trigger to the object library in the CG$BLOCK object.
However, be warned that the Headstart error handling mechanism
depends on this code. Depending on what you do, you could end up
breaking things.

Some employees designations are not matching with their actual designation

Hi All,
While downloading to excel sheet some employees designations are not matching with their actual designations maintained in infotye 0001.
Designations should match with infotype 0001.
How to rectifty this issue.
Let me know...
Regards,
Sita

Hi
Looks like you are dowloading the value from a field which does not contain the value you see in the infotype screen
In infotypr 0001 place your cursor in the designation field.
Press F1
See the name of the field & the table.
Have a look at the table using se16 and confirm what you see in the field is what you see in the infotype screen.
If it is same see in your code if you are using correct field.
If it is not the same trace in which table and field the value is stored and code your program to download from there.
Check in Tables HRP1000 and PA0001 and you should get your values
