Making a copy of a form at run time

I have a master detail form. I want to have a copy button which will allow the user to make a copy of the detail record which would be saved as a new record. I don't want the master record to be duplicated.
The user will then change the status of the duplicate record in the detail block to "revised". and save the record. I have a pre-insert trigger on the detail block, so the primary key will be different.
I have tried on my menu item
go_block('detail');
do_key('duplicate_record');
But it doesn't work. Help! Thank you very much.
null

I think the solution I gave still works.
Please tell whether I am right or wrong in my presumption
1. Create duplicate record in the detail record by using a button trigger ( like when button pressed ) on a control block.
Now I dont know whether you want to update the original record or whether you want to update the duplicate record based on the status field the user enters.
I have a question here
1. What happens to the duplicate record ?
I dont know whether I am right in my assumptions ?

Open second form at run-time (and transfer variables)

Hi,
i'm searching for a method to open a second (maybe attached) form from an existing form at run-time.
The goal would be to have a button in a form which runs a function as click event that opens the second form and transfer field values from the existing form to the new opened form.
To new form should opened in a separate Adobe Reader window because the user should have the possibility to save or print the both forms separately.

How to increase RAM & Hard Disk a form at run time can use?

Question: How to increase RAM & Hard Disk a form at run time can use?
Explanation:
I have a problem with a form at run-time. I guess this is due to shortage of RAM/Hard Disk. I want to increase these things so that the form can use more RAM/Hard Disk and it does not crash/cancel. The reason is that when I change/toggle TOOL --> Preferences --> Runtime, Buffer Records and Array Processing parameters, the problem is rectifies intermittantly. That is there is no fix combination of above-mentioned parameters to rectify the problem. After lot of attempts, it gets resolved but only temporarily. Next time I have to modify the form, I get the same problem.
Please help.

I am still waiting for an answer to the above question.
May be Oracle Corp. or anyabody, please guide.

Clear_form hangs form during run time

Hi all
I am facing a strange issue.
I am upgrading a form from 6i to 10g. I have 1 main block and 5-6 child blocks (relation). The following code hangs the form. I am not able to find why
clear_form(no_validate); -> form hangs here
execute_query(NO_VALIDATE);
I am in dire straits, any help is appreciated.
Rgds
Arvind Balaraman

As far as I know and as far as the form help tells me there is no such thing as execute_query(no_validate).
Did you copy and paste your code into this post or type it?
Heres a guess of what might be happening...
Does your code actually say execute_query(for_update)? If it does then you are putting a lock on every record that is queried. So, if any of the rows that you are trying to query actually are already locked, the your form will hang until the record lock is dropped. (just guessing) Unless the no_wait parameter is added.
Another thing, if (for_update) is being used and If you have two forms open and running with identical queries the second form will hang until the first form releases the lock.. (Not that you would do this to yourself and not that I have ever done such a thing either. :) )
This is an excact excerpt from the form help...
Without the NO_WAIT parameter, Oracle Forms keeps trying to obtain a lock without letting the operator cancel the process.
So.. Although I have no idea why you would need to do a (for_update) and lock every queried record. I never have in 12 years. Here would be the correct syntax to attempt to lock every queried record with NOWAIT so the form wont hang.
execute_query(all_records, for_update, no_wait);
It doesnt appear that you can just do a ...
execute_query(for_update, no_wait), but give it try if you like.

How can we make disable a Field of a FORM at run-time?

Hi to everybody,
I want to know that how can we make a filed DISABLE at runtime <whenever we run a FORM>.
I know about SET-ITEM-INSTANCE-PROPERTY but don't know how to use it,
please make it clear.
I will be gratefull to all of you
Thanking you in advance.

There's no property values for enabled or disabled in SET_ITEM_INSTANCE_PROPERTY.
Instead what you can do is set INSERT_ALLOWED, UPDATE_ALLOWED and NAVIGABLE to FALSE which basically what a disabled item behaves like.

Tony

Dear Frank
you are configuring Oracle Forms Developer to run and test Forms modules with Oracle Application Server 10g, and not with the embedded OC4J server - am I correct?
Yes, but i want 2 use 10gDS on other machine
how can i configure 10gDS.?
best practices is to develop with the embedded OC4J server.
From where i can find detail about it?
Is "OAS Forms Services Development Guide " better 2 find detail about this?

Form 9i run time

Do I need Oralce 9iAS running to be able to run/debug a form from 9i Form Builder? If so, does this mean each developer should have AS installed on their machine?
Thanks.

No - Forms (iDS) has an embeded runtime so you can test and run on your development machine.

Oracle Forms 10g run time problem

Hello.
I installed Oracle Dev 10g and I'm trying to use Oracle Forms.
I configured all files like this:
[steps in other post]
1. Install the Jinitiator
location: <devsuitehome>/jinit/jinit.exe
2. edit the following files:
a. <devsuitehome>/forms90/server/default.env
where you set forms90_path=add your path to your library files (*.pll)
b. <devsuitehome>/forms90/server/formsweb.cfg
where you set workingDirectory=path to your *.fmx files
3. at Forms Builder go to Edit/Preferences/Runtime
then at the Application Server URL click "Reset to Default"
4. before attempting to run your forms, run "Start OC4J Instance" first
start/programs/oracle developer suite/forms developer/start oc4j instance
After this, when I try to run the form, I don't get any error, but the browser opens and does nothing! Some times appears a small form to acces the data base, other don't, but it always stops!!
Any ideas?!?
Many thanks,
Nuno

Might also be worth turningon the Jinit console (you can do this from your windows Control Panel). And set the trace level to 5 (just press 5 when the jinit console appears).
Then check error messages.

Hello Asad,
It is possible to maximize the run time previewer when calling reports from forms. U need to set a parameter named 'MAXIMIZE' to do that.
I m attaching a code sample for u. This is working in my production environment.
DECLARE
pl_id ParamList;
BEGIN
     pl_id := Get_Parameter_List('setProposal');
     IF NOT Id_Null(pl_id) THEN
          Destroy_Parameter_List( pl_id );
     END IF;
     pl_id := Create_Parameter_List('setProposal');
// This parameter is set to hide parameter form at run time
     Add_Parameter(pl_id, 'PARAMFORM', TEXT_PARAMETER, 'NO');
// This parameter is used to maximize previewer window at run // time
     Add_Parameter(pl_id, 'MAXIMIZE', TEXT_PARAMETER, 'YES');
Run_Product(REPORTS, 'sample.rep', SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME,
FILESYSTEM, pl_id, NULL);
END;
Feel free to contact me if u need anymore assistance.
Take care and bye

Migration 5.0 to 10g how to keep it at run-time

Hi, all.
I have the 9i at the company and we're creating a new project for electronic invoice and the file must be '.xml'. We've used forms and reports only. We'll probably migrate our db and its tools to 10g.
My question is: can my applications run at run-time in 10g like 9i? I mean, 10g is focused on the web and all of our applications working at the forms/reports run-time. Someone have told us that it'll not work out 'cause 10g runs in the browser and not as a application alone.
Must I convert all my applications to run only in the browser?
Could someone help me in this issue?
Thank you for some help.
Regards,
Anderson

Keep in mind that Forms 5 was never certified to run against a 10g database, you'll face some problems and Forms 5 is no longer supported, hence no support from Oracle.
Migrating your Forms application from Forms5 to 10g should be very smooth, the only thing you need to be careful of is built-ins that interact with the client machine (HOST, TEXT_IO etc.....) in 10g Forms are web deployed they are in 3 tier architecture, these built-ins will run on the Application server and not the client machine.
To run these built-ins on the client machine you need to use webutil's function (CLIENT_HOST, CLIENT_IP etc...)
You can simply migrate your Forms to Forms 6i and than to 10g.
I suggest you migrate your application, read the [Forms Upgrade Center|http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/upgrade/index.html] there are many white papers and documents that can help you.

Running Copy command from Forms 6i

HI!
I want to run Copy command through Forms 6i i.e copy from scott/tiger@orcl insert test@msora(ename) using select to_char(ename) ename from emp;
I can run DDL command through Forms_ddl functions in Forms 6i, But copy command is not working using Forms_ddl.
thanks in advance.
Edited by: Kami_Lily on Aug 2, 2009 10:04 PM

Dear Kami Lily,
Oracle Forms is able to execute SQL and PL/SQL command only. Additionally it supports Operating System command by HOST built-in.
Though COPY is a SQL*Plus command, it is not possible to execute this command by HOST built-in.
Instead, if you hardly want to execute COPY command oracle forms 6i, then you make a batch file in operating system and run that batch file from HOST built-in.
Thanks.
