JUNIT in Oracle Forms 6i

Hi
We are using Oracle Forms 6i to develop Oracle Applications form extensions.
Wanted to know if we use JUnit in Oracle Forms for testing?
Thanks
Rahul

Hi there
Thanks for the response.
I was thinking of Forms Data Loader to use as an option for unit testing in Oracle Forms since it does capture the events like button submit , but I dont think it does any verification of data like JUnit.
Please let me know what do you think of same.
Thanks
Rahul

Calling web service from oracle forms 10g

Problem Description:
I'm following the steps as per the doc:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/10gr2/howto/webservicefromforms/ws_10_1_3_from_forms.html
to create a java stub to call external web service and then use java importer in oracle forms to call this web service from oracle forms.
WSDL for external web service used is http://gend:83/DesignService.svc?wsdl
The service was developed by us.
Calling the web service using JDeveloper works fine but when I complie in Oracle Forms it returns wrong number of types of arguments in call SENDHELLO.
The code from oracle form to call web service is as below:
DECLARE
jo ora_java.jobject;
xo ora_java.jobject;
rv varchar2(2000);
ex ora_java.jobject;
str varchar2(100);
BEGIN
jo := GendServiceClient.new;
rv := GendServiceClient.sendHello('Nora');
EXCEPTION
WHEN ORA_JAVA.JAVA_ERROR then
message('Unable to call out to Java, ' ||ORA_JAVA.LAST_ERROR);
WHEN ORA_JAVA.EXCEPTION_THROWN then
ex := ORA_JAVA.LAST_EXCEPTION;
message(Exception_.toString(ex));
END;
Any help/ideas on this is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

My primary skill is PL/SQL but the only information I found on Oracle's site to call a web service from a 10g Form was creating a jar file and importing the java class. Since I don't want to ask our corporate IT to make changes on the UNIX box for the jar files I went a different route.
I use UTL_HTTP.BEGIN_REQUEST to call a URL then load I load the data to a table as a CLOB since we have more than 4000 characters. Now I need to parse the XML and load it into a form. I have never done this so if there is a helpful site please let me know. I have looked at several sites but none do what I want.
Thanks

ASK - How to delete line space in Word document using oracle form

Hi,
I have 1 template word document.
Inside the word document template :
abcdefg
[START_TERMS]
[END_TERMS]
bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb
currently, my program only can delete the statement [START_TERMS] and [END_TERMS].
so the result
abcdefg
----> space area
----> space area
bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb
My expected result is
abcdefg
bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb
How to replace that two space area in oracle form ?
Please advise.
Thanks for your help.

Oracle Forms 6i and database oracle 11g

Hello!
Today we have Oracle Forms 6i running against databse 9i. We are in the process of upgrading our db to 11g.
Will our Forms application still work? What steps do we need to do to make it work?
Any input is valuable.
We have the same quetsion oabout Oracle reports 6i.

Hello,
I you follow the Note:338513.1 on Metalink, you can see the following:
Forms / Reports 6i patchset 16 or patchset 17 was certified to work against Oracle Server (RDBMS)+
+10g Rel 1 (10.1.x)+
Forms / Reports 6i has never been certified, nor will it ever be certified against Oracle Server (RDBMS) 10g Rel 2 (10.2.x) or Oracle Server (RDBMS) 11g (11.x).
+(This is because Forms / Reports 6i is now de-supported - see important note below)+
Important Note: Forms / Reports 6i is now de-supported e.g.
- If running in client-server mode, Forms / Reports 6i was desupported at end of January 2005
- If deploying over the web, Forms / Reports 6i (Oracle 9iAS Rel 1 Forms / Reports Services) was desupported at the end of June 2004
This means that Forms / Reports development will no longer provide an error correction service for Forms / Reports 6i (unless an organisation has purchased extended maintenance support) Therefore, Oracle strongly recommends that customers using desupported versions upgrade to a supported version e.g upgrade to Oracle Developer Suite 10g Rel 1 or 2 / Oracle Application Server 10g Rel 1 or 2

Stopping a Query taking more time to execute in runtime in Oracle Forms.

Hi,
In the present application one of the oracle form screen is taking long time to execute a query, user wanted an option to stop the query in between and browse the result (whatever has been fetched before stopping the query).
We have tried three approach.
1. set max fetch record in form and block level.
2. set max fetch time in form and block level.
in above two method does not provide the appropiate solution for us.
3. the third approach we applied is setting the interaction mode to "NON BLOCKING" at the form level.
It seems to be worked, while the query took long time to execute, oracle app server prompts an message to press Esc to cancel the query and it a displaying the results fetched upto that point.
But the drawback is one pressing esc, its killing the session itself. which is causing the entire application to collapse.
Please suggest if there is any alternative approach for this or how to overcome this perticular scenario.
This kind of facility is alreday present in TOAD and PL/SQL developer where we can stop an executing query and browse the results fetched upto that point, is the similar facility is avialable in oracle forms ,please suggest.
Thanks and Regards,
Suraj

Hello Friend,
You query will definitely take more time or even fail in PROD,becuase the way it is written. Here are my few observations, may be it can help :-
1. XLA_AR_INV_AEL_SL_V XLA_AEL_SL_V : Never use a view inside such a long query , becuase View is just a window to the records.
and when used to join other table records, then all those tables which are used to create a view also becomes part of joining conition.
First of all please check if you really need this view. I guess you are using to check if the records have been created as Journal entries or not ?
Please check the possbility of finding it through other AR tables.
2. Remove _ALL tables instead use the corresponding org specific views (if you are in 11i ) or the sysnonymns ( in R12 )
For example : For ra_cust_trx_types_all use ra_cust_trx_types.
This will ensure that the query will execute only for those ORG_IDs which are assigned to that responsibility.
3. Check with the DBA whether the GATHER SCHEMA STATS have been run atleast for ONT and RA tables.
You can also check the same using
SELECT LAST_ANALYZED FROM ALL_TABLES WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'ra_customer_trx_all'.
If the tables are not analyzed , the CBO will not be able to tune your query.
4. Try to remove the DISTINCT keyword. This is the MAJOR reason for this problem.
5. If its a report , try to separate the logic in separate queries ( using a procedure ) and then populate the whole data in custom table, and use this custom table for generating the
report.
Thanks,
Neeraj Shrivastava

Icons not displaying in oracle forms.

Hi All,
I am trying to display icons on Oracle forms 10g.I just brought over these forms from another system and I am trying to display the icons like next record, clear form etc..
I have done the following steps so far. The icons are still not displaying. Appreciate any help.
Created a folder in D:\oracle\oracleas\forms\java called icons.
Copied all gif files and jpeg files into icons. Then created a jar file.
D:\oracle\oracleas\forms\java>jar -cvf my_icons.jar icons
It created the jar file in the same directory D:\oracle\oracleas\forms\java
Also changes were made to these files as shown below each file.
forms.conf
AliasMatch ^/forms/icons/(..*) "D:\oracle\oracleas\forms\java\icons/$1"
registry.dat
default.icons.iconpath=http://servername:7778/forms/java/
formweb.cfg
# Forms applet parameter
codebase=/forms/java
# Forms applet parameter
imageBase=codebase
# Forms applet archive setting for JInitiator
archive_jini=frmall_jinit.jar,frmmain.jar, frmjdapi.jar, my_icons.jar
# Forms applet archive setting for other clients (Sun Java Plugin, Appletviewer, etc)
archive=frmall.jar,frmmain.jar, frmjdapi.jar, my_icons.jar
Also added this line under orion-web-app in orion-web.xml file.
<virtual-directory virtual-path="/icons" real-path="D:\oracle\oracleas\forms\java\icons" />
Restarted the OC4J forms server after any change.

To test your configuration, you can try building an URL:
i.e.
http://localhost:8889/forms/frmservlet/icons/iconname.gif
Does it show the icon ?
If that does not work, I would try re-generating the my_icons.jar file, but instead of going directly to the forms/java/icons folder, copy the icons folder to the root directory i.e. c:\icons and execute the command to jar the icons folder, then redeploy the my_icons.jar file.
Then try again with the URL... if the URL does not work, you still have configuration issues.
PS: Don't forget to clear the cache in your browser so that the new .jar files is loaded?
Furthermore:
========
Remove the changes made to the forms.conf and orion-web.xml, they are only needed if the icons are
not stored in a .jar file.
forms.conf
AliasMatch ^/forms/icons/(..*) "D:\oracle\oracleas\forms\java\icons/$1"
orion-web.xml
<virtual-directory virtual-path="/icons" real-path="D:\oracle\oracleas\forms\java\icons" />

Would like to ask about Pros&Cons betwwen Oracle Forms, OAF and ADF

Hi,
Is there some material about the pros&cons between Oracle Forms, OAF and ADF, from angles like technical architecture, performance, network efficiency, etc...
Asking this becuase EBS cusotmer is familiar with Oracle Forms and OAF, when we talking about ADF to them, it is quite confused especially about OAF and ADF, finding material to elaborate these 3 technology clearly, thanks
- Liang Yi

Thanks, I check the comparison of OAF and ADF document downloaded from Oracle Support, but it is for ADF10g, I believe ADF11g is much better, and anyone check the comparison table between ADF 10g and OAF R12 would choose OAF.
And, from the document, I saw one line that is very confused, check it out, do not understand what does it mean with "if your application does not need to integrate with EBS... ... you should use ... ... integration with EBS" -_-!
"If your application does not need to integrate with the
E-Business Suite, or doesn't require any of the E-Business Suite-specific
capabilities enumerated above, you should use ADF 10g with SOA based
integration with E-Business Suite."

Calling web service from oracle forms fails with ORA_JAVA.JAVA_ERROR

Problem Description:
I'm following the steps as per the doc:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/10gr2/howto/webservicefromforms/ws_10_1_3_from_forms.html
to create a java stub to call external web service and then use java importer in oracle forms to call this web service from oracle forms.
WSDL for external web service used is http://www.webservicex.net/CurrencyConverter.asmx?wsdl
Calling the web service using JDeveloper works fine but from Oracle Forms returns ORA_JAVA.JAVA_ERROR; Unable to call out to Java, Invalid object type for argument 1
The code from oracle form to call web service is as below:
DECLARE

Any help/ideas on this is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Yes, it is the message line - so basically this call fails => rv:= CurrencyConvertorStub.ConversionRate(jo,'CAD','USD'); and control goes in the exception block
WHEN ORA_JAVA.JAVA_ERROR then
message('Unable to call out to Java, ' ||ORA_JAVA.LAST_ERROR);
Below is the code from java stub that was generated using JDeveloper by using web services stub/skeleton and associating the WSDL
public Double ConversionRate(String FromCurrency, String ToCurrency) throws Exception
URL endpointURL = new URL(endpoint);
Envelope requestEnv = new Envelope();
Body requestBody = new Body();
Vector requestBodyEntries = new Vector();
String wrappingName = "ConversionRate";
String targetNamespace = "http://www.webserviceX.NET/";
Vector requestData = new Vector();
requestData.add(new Object[] {"FromCurrency", FromCurrency});
requestData.add(new Object[] {"ToCurrency", ToCurrency});
requestBodyEntries.addElement(toElement(wrappingName, targetNamespace, requestData));
requestBody.setBodyEntries(requestBodyEntries);
requestEnv.setBody(requestBody);
Message msg = new Message();
msg.setSOAPTransport(m_httpConnection);
msg.send(endpointURL, "http://www.webserviceX.NET/ConversionRate", requestEnv);
Envelope responseEnv = msg.receiveEnvelope();
Body responseBody = responseEnv.getBody();
Vector responseData = responseBody.getBodyEntries();
return (Double)fromElement((Element)responseData.elementAt(0), java.lang.Double.class);
