KEY CAPTURING IN FORM BUILDER

DOES ANY BODY KNOWS HOW TO CAPTURE KEYS
IN ORACLE FORM BUILDER..SO THAT WE CAN USE OUR OWN HOT KEYS TO ACCESS DIFFERENT OBJECTS LIKE TAB PAGES THROUGH HOT KEYS.
IF ANY BODY KNOWS THE PROCEDURE PLEASE TELL ME IN DETAIL
THANX

Please don't use all capitals ... that is 'shouting' and is not liked by participants as it is harder to read.
To answer your question, open forms builder, go to any block, select an item and on the property palette, under functional, click on Access Key - press F1 for help - its all there. I don't know about TABs.

Form Builder 6.0.8 (Solaris) Keyboard Shortcut Keys

I am having no luck getting the keyboard shortcut keys to work inside Form Builder (e.g. Ctrl+j for connect)
or during run time (e.g. Alt+11 for Execute Query).

Roar,
the order of blocks does only influence the navigation but not the visibility. However, if the button bar is on a canvas that doesn't show if the focus isn't in it then having teh button block on top makes sure the focus is set there. Are the push bottons on a separate canvas or are they on the same canvas as your data ? If not, then how do you ensure that the stacked canvas gets displayed ? Anyway, running the Form from teh builder uses teh same client/server runtime that is used when running your application stand alone. So it must be something within teh navigation (I am guessing).

Form builder in UCM

Hi,
We are looking for a usefull form builder i UCM/Stellent.
We need to be able to capture form data easily.
I have tried the web form builder it works, but it has to integrate with my web application. I have tried with an iframe but when i go into contribution mode the webform is all over the screeen.
How does others capture form data in UCM/stellent, so that it integrates into a normal web-application?
regards
Johnny

As I mentioned in my previous post, I'm not sure if there is a config param where you can modify it. Therefore, the only way that remains is a custom component.
If you are familiar with building (intradoc) custom components, you will need to identify which include and/or result set contains the displayed fields and remove it from there. It will require a bit reverse engineering (or alternatively, you will have to find somebody who possesses this info), but it's not complicated. In fact, the process is well described in this book http://www.amazon.com/Definitive-Stellent-Content-Server-Development/dp/1590596846 , chapter 9. It's a bit too long to be described in the forum.
Btw. if there is a way to configure the param, you will find it during the reverse engineering.

Oracle Forms Builder - Errors

Hi to all!
I'm beginner in Oracle Forms and Reports. The OS is Windows and the software is Oracle Forms and Reports Developer 10g with Database Server 10g. I have started with customers.fmb and orders.fmb. When I try start customers.fmb, I get the error FRM-40911:Record not created due to sequence number generation error. In orders.fmb I get the error FRM-10102: Cannot attach library webutil_lib.
How to solve these errors?
Thx in advance.

When I try start customers.fmb, I get the error FRM-40911:Record not created due to sequence number generation error. Double-check the sequence used by the CUSTOMERS table and make sure the sequence exists. If it exists, check the permissions to see if your user has SELECT privilege granted.
In orders.fmb I get the error FRM-10102: Cannot attach library webutil_lib.Sounds like your environment is not configured correctly. The WebUtil.pll (PL/SQL Library) is included with Oracle Forms and is located in the <DEV_SUITE HOME>/forms directory. This directory location needs to be added to your FORMS_PATH so the Forms Builder can find the library. The Forms Builder FORMS_PATH variable is located in the Windows Registry. Edit your Windows Registry and navigate to the following Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE => SOFTWARE => Oracle => KEY_DevSuiteHome1 (your key may be named slightly different). Now, in the right side, scroll until you find the FORMS_PATH string object and double-click to open the editor. Add the directory where the webutil.pll is located to the existing value in this string variable. When you are done, it should look something like the following:
D:\DevSuiteHome_1\cgenf61\admin;D:\DevSuiteHome_1\formsYou might also want to take a look at the article: Forms: How to Configure Forms Builder to run forms locally. Even if you do not plan to run a form directly from the Forms Builder, this article will show you the basics for setting up your environment.
Hope this helps,

Login Screen in Oracle forms builder 6i

Hello everyone
I am trying to create a canvas with a login screen and password in oracle forms builder 6i.
So far I have create the following table:
CREATE TABLE PASSWORD
(USER_ID NUMBER(3)
CONSTRAINT PASSWORD_USER_ID_PK PRIMARY KEY,
PASSWORD VARCHAR2(20) NOT NULL);
Inserted the following values:
INSERT INTO PASSWORD (USER_ID,PASSWORD)
VALUES (1,1010);
INSERT INTO PASSWORD (USER_ID,PASSWORD)
VALUES (2,2020);
Created a MENU canvas with a LOGIN button TI_USER_ID and TI_PASSWORD text boxes.
In the LOGIN button i have inserted the following WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger:
BEGIN
SELECT USER_ID
INTO :GLOBAL.USER_ID
FROM PASSWORD
WHERE USER_ID = :LOGIN.TI_USER_ID
AND PASSWORD= :LOGIN.TI_PASSWORD;
GO_BLOCK('PASSWORD');
EXCEPTION
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
:GLOBAL.COUNT := :GLOBAL.COUNT + 1;
IF :GLOBAL.COUNT = 1 THEN
MESSAGE('wrong');
MESSAGE('wrong');
ELSIF
:GLOBAL.COUNT = 2 THEN
MESSAGE('wrong');
MESSAGE('wrong');
ELSIF
:GLOBAL.COUNT = 3 THEN
EXIT_FORM;
END IF;
END;
When i try to compile that it gives an error Bad bind variable LOGIN.TI_USER_ID
Bad bind variable LOGIN.TI_PASSWORD
What am i doing wrong?

Ok i changed the button to contain only the following:

GO_ITEM('GO_REVIEWS');
END;
when i now press login it gives an error FRM 40735: WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger raised unhandled exception ORA-01403
i tried to reffer to several items in several blocksi suspect that when you removed the exception it ends up with the no data found error. you need not to remove the exception clause try to bring that back. then try in SQL*Plus to see if your query returns any rows with the same data that you are attempting to use in your TI_USER_ID and TI_PASSWORD block item. if it does not return that is the cause of your issue it will not execute the GO_ITEM() command it will simply go to the exception clause.

Form Compiles in Forms Builder but not Unix?

I have a form that compiles fine in Forms Builder (Version 6.0.8.11.3). When trying to compile the form on a Solaris Middleware Server it fails and gives several errors similar to the following:
Compiling WHEN-NEW-BLOCK-INSTANCE trigger on SFTREGS data block...
Compilation error on WHEN-NEW-BLOCK-INSTANCE trigger on SFTREGS data block:
PL/SQL ERROR 201 at line 4, column 37
identifier 'SATURN.SFTREGS' must be declared
PL/SQL ERROR 0 at line 4, column 4
SQL Statement ignored
I realize that these same errors in Forms Builder if I have not connected to the database (Version 9.2.0.4.0) before compiling so I'm guessing that there is some environment variable set incorrectly on the middleware server. I'm quite new to Unix and am not sure what variables I should be looking at...any thoughts?

We have tried both commands as indicated. We get the same errors that were in the original post as outlined below;

JavaBean in Form Builder 6

Dear Sirs,
to enhance an old Forms 6 application I want to use the JavaBean Area- item of Form Builder 6.
I´ve developed a Java Bean which I did export as JAR file.
In later Form Builder versions this JAR file has to be included in formsweb.cfg. But since Form Builder 6 does not have this config file where do I have to register my JAR?
It is already included in classpath environment variable but this does not seem to be enough. Form Builder throws the following error: "FRM-13008: JavaBean mit dem Namen 'oracle.forms.fd.GetCanvasProp' nicht gefunden" (meaning: Form Builder is not able to find the class of JavaBean Area item)
The class was compiled as Java 1.1 class.
Thanks in advance for any hints.
Best regards
Janek

Hi!
Do you use forms 6i on the web?
You find the formsweb.cfg in %oracle_home%\forms60\server folder
But the builder does not read the formsweb.cfg.
Try to expand the FORMS60_BUILDER_CLASSPATH registry key
in hkey_local_machine\software\oracle.

Problem in form builder connecting to db

Im very new to oracle technology, I have just installed oracle appdeveloper 9i and im trying to use form builder. When I try to log into my database which is also under a 9i personal database, it gives me the error "ORA-12154 TNS:could not resolve service name". I tryed to search for something on oracles site and also the forums but didnt find anything. I had problems installing developer suite but was solved in another form. I had to install it under oracle homes in c:\oracle. my database is installed also under oracle homes c:\oracle\ora92. I checked and made sure that all the services listed under services on windows xp service manager were running, and I still got the error. Please help me, I need this to work for class.
Thanks in advance

I tried to change the MW (which is the name of my database, to ora92 but then i couldnt connect to sql+, I did change the host to local host though.
this is what my file currently reads:

Forms builder- only displays records created in the form builder?

Hi there. I am new to Oracle and forms builder. I just have a query. I have created a form and when I run the form, it doesnt display the data out of my database. I can add a new record using the form and it will add it to my database:
>
STUDENTI FIRSTNAME LASTNAME GENDER DOB
ADDRESS SUBURB PHONE
20737785 Lock McIntyre Male 28-DEC-88
384 Waterfall Gully Rosebud 0359811618

20 Armstrong Rd McCrae 0359811310
20837785 LAchlan McIntyre M 28-DEC-09
Hello Hell 5981131803
>
But it will only display the records that I have added using the form. Example, the first two records above were already in the database. I couldnt view them ith the form, but then I added the bottom record and I could only view that record in the form, but not the others.
Any ideas why? I think I just dont know how to use the forms builder properly. Many thanks

Forms starts with an empty screen(no records), only when you execute a query, the records are retrieved from the database.
This can be done by executing the "execute_query" command.
This can be done by pushing the button in the toolbaar, choosing the menu item, hitting the function key.
But it can also be done programmatically in forms code(in a trigger).
I hope this helps...

Hi
I think what you showed us here is a tnsnames.ora of the oracle database itself. You should configure tnsnames.ora file of the Forms builder. So find the file in Forms home and set it as appropriate for your database.

Capture Design Forms in Designer 6i problem

I install Oracle 8.1.6 release 2 for Windows NT, I also install
Designer 6i.
Everything work well except when I try to capture design of form
(Generate -> Capture Design of -> Form...) I get the following error:
"CDD-23564: The file "XX:\ORANT\BIN\cfr61.dll" could not be loaded or
doeas not exist."
"The specified file or one its dependent files could not be loaded.
This may be because a file has not been installed, or is not
correctly defined in the system registry.
As an example dependency, the Forms Generator files require the
Form Builder files installed as part of Developer."
and action:
"Check the registry settings for the location of the required
file. Also check the product and any required dependencies
e.g.Developer have been installed correctly.
If necessary, try reinstalling."
I check the folder and the file is there. I re-installes alrready the designer and the error still there.
Thank in advance, Eneko

Maybe this will help you (from Metalink):
fact: Oracle Designer 6.5.69
fact: MS Windows NT
fact: MS Windows 98
symptom: Forms generation fails
symptom: CDD-23564: The file cfg61.dll could not be loaded or does not exists
change: Installed Oracle Designer Release 4.1 over some previous version of Designer and Developer
cause: Some files have been overwritten during installaiton
fix:
Re-install Oracle Developer patchset 7.
Correct installation order is:
1. Install Oracle Developer first
2. Install Oracle Designer second
3. Install Oracle Developer patchset 7 at the last

10g Forms Builder with error "cannot attach library" opening R12 fmb file

Hi all,
I had set up my Forms Builder with all the necessary PLL and FMB files for developing R12 custom forms. I have used the builder to do few custom PLLs and one custom form, and I did not have any problem opening seeded Oracle Forms. Today when I need to enhance that custom form I did 2 weeks ago and I opened Forms Builder, I got the error "Cannot attach library.." for APPCORE, APPDAYPK, etc.. Same error for opening TEMPLATE.fmb.
I have done these to troubleshoot:
1) I verified my Windows XP registry "FORMS_PATH" to include the folder where I store all the PLLs and FMBs.
2) I updated default.env to include that file path.
3) I create shortcut to Forms Builder and put folder path with PLLs under the "Start in" field of the shortcut.
4) I rebooted my machine after changing the registry
5) I moved the folder with PLLs to under C:; I seperate PLL to "resource" sub-folder and FMB to forms/US/ sub-folder just like the server structure.
6) I install one more copy of Developer 10G Suite and set up the registry.
None of these work and the key is it used to work with no issue. Any suggestions what may be the problems?
Thanks!
Mike.

Turned out I reloaded all the $AU_TOP forms and PLLs to my desktop and it worked fine. I think I did not FTP correctly the first time.

Forms Builder error '01422'

I am in an Oracle database class, and I am having trouble with one of my problems. When using forms builder with a sequence that automatically generates primary key values and inserts them into a text box. I use a form trigger to insert the next available value from the sequence into the text box for the primary ID field of the record. I have the trigger fire on WHEN-CREATE-RECORD. The PL/SQL compliles with no problem, but when I try to run the form, I get the '01422' error.
Below is my PL/SQL code:
SELECT course_id_sequence.NEXTVAL
INTO :course.course_id
FROM course;
Any help would be appreciated.

Another possibility is to set the Initial Value property of the course_id item to :sequence.course_id_seq.nextval.

Can not open Form Builder

Hi Friends!
I am using Form 6i (Client) and Oracle 8.1.7. I have been using these for the past 2,3 months. Now suddenly I got a problem with my Forms Builder. I can not open the Form Builder. It's opening but can't maximize. It is not even showing any error message also. I tried many ways by installing the latest Java jre file and also restarting my pc many times, but still cannot open the Form Builder. I have no back up copy of Forms6i so I can't reinstall.
Can anyone help me, what I should do now?
Thanks

Are you using Windows NT? I have had problems in NT with disaparing windows, windows which was started outside of monitor range, or windows which only could be maximized from right-clicking on then in Windows toolbar (bottom of the screen). Mostly I'd to try to move the application using the cursor keys.
A new version of Forms6i is found here:

Form does not appear when run through Form Builder

Hello,
We are trying to get a new installation of Form Builder 10g to work. When we try to run the form, the Forms Service browser comes up, but the form does not. We are likely missing a setting in some config file. Can anyone help us?
Thank you,

Thanks for your efforts.
I have searched the forum, but maybe have not hit the correct key words yet. If you can suggest better search parameters than I have used, I will try again.
The popup blocker settings are the same as on other PCs that work correctly.
Our tnsnames is also good, as we are connecting through Form Builder.
I tried researching the error message that was requested, but the error code and message did not match up.
I would appreciate any other suggestions.
