Logon from Forms

Hi,
I have a logon form that accepts username, password and connection string.
On clicking OK, I have to log into the system.
I have a code like:
logon( l_username, l_password ||'@'||l_connect)
This works perfectly fine when I run the form, but when I call the form from a webpage,
I get a ORA-03114 error.
are there any settings required on the webserver?
FYI: I am using iAS web-server
thanks and regards,
Chandra

There is a fundamental difference when starting the Forms from the Developer directly or when deploying it to the Application Server.
When starting a form from developer, the so created run-time session inherits username/password and connect-string from the developer session (at least I think so).
When deploying it to the AS, the forms run-time environment uses its own name resolution to create a session to the database. Check the tnsnames.ora file in $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin within the Oracle AS installation and compare it to $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/tnsnames.ora in the Oracle-Home of the developer suite. There should be a difference.
To make thinks easier : set the TNS_ADMIN environment parameter in Windows pointing to the $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin in the Oracle-Home of the developer suite...
Open a dos-prompt and issue tnsping <instance-name> to see which parameter files will be currently used for name resolution

Login as SYSDBA from forms 6i

Hi,
I am using oracle 10g r2 and forms 6i(patch 25). When i tried to logon as SYS as SYSDBA from form, the following error raised "Insufficient previlege". the OS user is in oradba group and i tried creating password file, but still the problem persists. Is there any solution to solve this issue.
Muruganandhan

I seem to remember that maybe you need to create an oradba entry of some kind in your local windows registry under your appropriate oracle home key.
Sorry, can't quite bring more than that to mind right now.

Can I read the SYS_CONTEXT in REPORTS from Forms ?

Hi,
in a Forms module I set with a stored procedure a SYS_CONTEXT.
This module calls a Report included a 'get' SYS_CONTEXT function
but without getting this context.
I hoped to transfer a where clause from Forms to Reports in the SYS_CONTEXT
and cannot read this setter value.
Please help,
Thanks

Hi Kamal,
exactly, I hoped that the context can transfer the logon state between the sessions.
Now the szenario is to establish a user - application depended view of the data with RLS included the where clause of tables in the context.
Every Forms model must set with the sp_ctx package the where clause but this would not work with nested sessions.
So we would have a global administration defined in a user_application table and
have not to define the specific where clauses in Parameteres between Forms and Reports.
Please, do you have a suggestion for the problem ?
Many Thanks

Restrict User Logon from multiple systems

I want to know how can I restrict a user logon from multi systems. That means user 'manager' must be connected to the server only from 1 client system at a time. Is it possible? If yes then how?
@VHNG

hi,
I'm afraid this is not possible current versions,In future releases SAP will restrict 1 session for a user id,
For details Check it in SAP Business One 8.8 Central Information

hello,
there are no known issues with reports and this setting. did you check your database ? maybe there is a problem on the database side or you have defined limits that would cause call to report to initiate a new session.
i would suggest you open a TAR with oracle support services in this matter.

Though I'm not aware that I use this setting, I also have a similar problem with Reports6.0. Randomly, while running a report from a Form using the RUN PRODUCT built-in, I see the database logon Form! Would looding my connection while the report was running cause this same thing?

Calling report from form. Need PDF output

I am calling a report from a form using RUN_PRODUCT. I need to display the form in PDF format. When the user clicks the button in the form to run the report, acrobat reader should open up and the report displayed there. Please help.
Thanks

Thanks for the response. The first part worked. I am able to get the output in PDF format. In the 2nd part where I want to open acrobat and display the output, I am having some trouble with the code. When I compile, it says
win_api_environment.read_registry must be declared. Is there some package I need to attach?
Also, in the After reports trigger, how do I pass vFile (I am assuming this is the PDF file name)?
Thanks
The first thing you'll want to do is pass parameters to the report IE DESTYPE, DESNAME and DESFORMAT where these could be FILE, 'c:\temp\report' and PDF.
Then, you can try this piece of code I wrote (with some help from other people at Metalink and here) sometime back. Now, I call it from forms, but in your case, you'd have to run it in the after report trigger. Since with RUN_PRODUCT you don't know when the report is finished, if you did it from the form, it wouldn't work correctly.

Not able insert ,query data from forms

hi,
I am not able to insert data or query data from forms(10g devsuite).getting error frm-40505,frm 40508 .i am able to insert and select record from sql plus.the block ihave created is control block .it is connected to the table using the properties.
should i do anything to insert record.please help

the block ihave created is control block .it is connected to the table using the properties.A Control Block, by definition, is a non-database block. This means the block is not directly connected to a table so you have to manually display data in the block and any DML you want to perform on data in this block you must do manually as well.
There are four database objects you can base your database block on; 1) a Table, 2) a View, 3) From Clause Query (basically an In-line View), and 4) a database stored procedure. I recommend you use one of these four methods rather than manually display your data.

SAP HCM P&F - Update an infotype field which is NOT passed from Form

Dear Experts,
I have a requirement to update the Infotype with the entries in the HCM form (input by Employee in ESS) upon Manager's approval in MSS.
We are achieving this functionality using HCM P&F (FPM) with an Workflow associated. In this Workflow Standard Task (TS17900108) is used to Save the form data into the Database.
But there is one field (APPROVED_DATE) in the Infotype whose value is not from the FORM but should be updated in the Infotype.
Please help me with your inputs.
Regards,
Shankar

Dear Christopher,
I am extremely thankful to you for all the replies. But, unfortunately, we are messed up with this requirement and we couldn't achieve it.
In this regard, could you please give us the step-by-step procedure to achieve this functionality?
Requirement in brief again:
We have designed Overtime HCM form (FPM) using which employee requests for the Overtime. This form is sent for the Manager for approval. We have achieved this functionality. With the Manager Approval, the database is also updated perfectly.
Then we have added one more field in the infotype to track the Approved Date. This field is to be updated along with the other fields (sent from FORM) upon the approval of the manager.
And now though the other fields are updated correctly into the infotype, the approved date is not updated.
Thanks a ton in advance for your guidance as this is very critical and urgent requirement for us.
Regards,
Shankar.

Passing date parameter from forms to report

Hi,
I'm using forms and reports 6i.
I want to pass one date parameter from forms to reports.
Using
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'P_FROM_DATE',TEXT_PARAMETER,:FROM_DT);
giving me error REP-0091- Invalid value for parameter 'P_FROM_DATE'
This i think is because report expects date and here it is converted as varchar.
Please help

Hi Divya,
Even I use this kind of statement
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'P_FROM_DATE',TEXT_PARAMETER,:FROM_DT);and works fine for me.
This i think is because report expects date and here it is converted as varchar
Correct.
Open the report in the builder and under Data Model -> User Parameters, Go to the Property Inspector of P_FROM_DATE. Under Parameter, set Datatype as Character instead of Date.
Hope this should work. and tell me if it works(coz it wokred for me).

Hi ,
Looks like this is not a Forms side problem or even a Reports Servlet problem
Some guesses.
From the exception
at oracle.reports.engine.EngineImpl.CGetEnv(Native Method)
at oracle.reports.engine.EngineImpl.getEnvs(EngineImpl.java:453)
it looks like engine crashing. Did you see the server GUI up and running ? Server might not have started
Give
rwserver server=<server_name> in command line.
The server GUI should come up and show "ready "
You have multiple Oracle Homes on the same machine. So this could be a PATH problem.
1) Go to ControlPanel -> System - Advanced - Env variables - System Variables
Copy the IDS specific PATH to clipboard
Go to iDS_HOME\bin\ and open a command window. Set only the above PATH here. Start a standalone server
rwserver server=<server_name>
and try
(If this works you could write a batch file later)
2) For trouble shooting purposes use a different server name to start the standalone server.
3) Also look in your registry
HKLM\Software\Oracle\Home<x>\
Here please see whether you have any "very long" environment variable (say more than 256 chars or 512 chars).
This is just a guess.
4) To confirm this is not a Reports servlet problem
give
rwclient report=<report_name> + ..... <server=server_name>
If you get same error, then it is not a servlet problem. It could be that Reports server is crashing
Thanks
