Migrating forms from 6i to forms 10g

Hi all,
We plan to migrate the current forms 6i to forms 10g. Can you please suggest/advise the advantages of forms 10g to that of forms 6i.
thanks in advance
Chettarjee

Hi
the one main big advantage is that you will have Oracle support in 10g. 6i is not supported any more. Other benefits are 10g is more open to Java . You can call out to Web service and java apis. REfer to the forms otn page for more 10g features.

Is it possible to call a 9i Forms from a 6i Forms ?

Hello,
I have a customer using CRM 11.5.10.2 ( Database 9.2.0.6 / 6i Forms) and will be created a functionality in the CRM screen, where end user will call (via button) a custom application running on 9i Forms.
Customer believes that there is a technical limitation to achieve that. That is, call a 9i Forms from a 6i Forms.
Is it possible to call a 9i Forms from a 6i Forms ?
Thank you in advanced for help,
Marcos Souza.

I should have thought so, as Forms 9i is exclusively web-driven, so how you launch the URL is immaterial as long as you use a supported browser. As your Forms 9i apps will invariably be on a remote web server, you'll not encounter compatibility issues either. And Forms 6 and 9 development is possible on the same PC using multiple Oracle Homes. Ask Oracle beforehand if you are still not convinced.

Multi-page form from single PDF form

I need to create a 50 page form with calculated fields. Each page is basically the same except for a couple calculations. Is there a way to make this from a single form? I have one page complete and would like to copy it and the calculations so that I don't have to redo all the calculations.

Have you looked at using the template object?
A Lesson in Templates for Adobe Acrobat
Since the fields all need to be uniquely named, your scripts will have to be reworked to allow for the prefix of the page number and template name.

Calling Web Form from Client-Server Form

Hi. I have an existing Client-Server Form (6i) still in production that needs to call a Web Form and pass it a parameter. Obviously I can't use Call Form or New Form from the client-server version, but can I somehow issue a command line (including a parameter) that opens the Web Form? Any suggestions for accomplishing this?
I can create a command line like this, but have no idea how to pass a parameter to my Web Form. The Web Form named participants which has a Parameter defined named 'p_participant'.
*"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" http://9.35.32.206:7777/forms/frmservlet?form=participants*
I can also create a command line to open a web form like this to:
*"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" http://9.35.32.205:7777/forms/html/sas2.htm*
Where the sas2.htm looks like this:
*<html>*
*<body onload="document.menulaunch.submit();">*
Launching File Generation...
If the application does not load in 30 seconds then click the button below:
*<form name=menulaunch action=http://9.35.32.205:7777/forms/frmservlet?config=FileGeneration method=post>*
*<script>*
var wshshell=new ActiveXObject("wscript.shell");
var username=wshshell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%orauser%");
var pw=wshshell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%orapass%");
document.write("<input type=hidden name=userid value="+username+"/"+pw+"@sparc20*>")*
*</script>*
*<input type=submit value=Launch>*
*</form>*
*</body>*
*</html>*
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Simply add to your URL as follows:
http://9.35.32.206:7777/forms/frmservlet?form=participants&otherparams=p_participant=<SOME VALUE>I assume you plan to use HOST to make this call. I would recommend something like this:
HOST ('cmd /c start iexplore.exe "http://9.35.32.206:7777/forms/frmservlet?form=participants&otherparams=p_participant=<SOME VALUE>"');

How do you call a single block in a form from a different form ?

Hello All,
I'm trying to call a particular block in a form. The actual call is done via fnd_function.execute. This brings up 2 blocks:
1) a find/search block
2) the block I want with the correct information based on the parameters I have passed in.
Everything so far is OK with the exception of not wanting the 'find' block to appear. I've tried to hide the associated window by using the hide_window function but this doesn't work. Anyone got any new ideas I can try ?
Thanks in advance
Sandy

If you have both blocks on the same canvas they will both appear if you navigate to a field in either block.
So, put each block on its own canvas. When you navigate to a field in one block only that block will appear.
As far as navigating to a block from another form there is not built-in function to do that. You can only call and entire form from another form. You could however pass a parameter from the calling form to the called form. On the when-new-form-instance of the called form check for the parameter value and go_item('myblock.myitem') which will display the block you want.

InfoPath 2010 - How to connect to another content type form from the current form with a click of a button?

I have two different form library forms for each different content type published to the same Form Library. I like to know if by a click of a button, if I could close the current form and jump to the next and vice versa? If so, what steps
would I need to take using OOB technology?
Thank you,
SRAEngineer

Hi Guru:
Thanks. However, the Views do not work in my case, as one form has different required fields than the other and set of fields also changes a bit for each form.
However, researching more I have been able to find the solution since I posted this request.
I will try to describe the Solution:
First I deployed both the forms to a SharePoint Form Library. Then I opened the template from the advanced settings and copied the URL from the top search box of IE.
Went back to the design view of the form, highlighted the writings/title of the form and right clicked to paste the hyperlink.
Quick published it again and now the hyperlink is working active/live in the deployed form as well and doing its job to get to the next form. I repeated the process to the other form to do a toggle.
Thank you for your input though.
Regards,
SRA

How to call a swing form from another swing form by clicking a button

i created a swing frame , this frame have a form and an internal form. in this form have 3 buttons OK , CANCEL , NEW. i created some other forms i.e OKFORM, CForm,NForm. i want to invoke the OkForm when i click OK Button, Similar implimentation for other buttons too. i want the button logic to invoke other form. please send reply ASAP.

A great resource that has helped me and will probably help you is an article entitled [How To Ask Questions The Smart Way|http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html] . It will tell you how to formulate your questions so that the folks here will be better able to answer them.
For instance, just what is a form?
I notice that you've posted twice before and that both posts stimulated responses like mine, responses that asked for clarification, and that you never replied in either of the previous threads. Again, I urge you to read the link above ASAP, else you will find fewer and fewer people interested in helping you.
Good luck.

Calling a form from the main form

Hello,
As you can see here , i want to open a form, when i click on a subitem of ELEVI menu. so i did that, but that form is shown in the back of the main form.. i wanna that form being shown as a child form of the main form, or something like that..
also, i cannot close the second form, why?
the code for opening that form when clicking a submenu item is:
begin
     call_form('elevi', no_hide, no_replace, query_only);
end;Greets,

well, the menu for the called form does not exist, so i don't have any menu on this second form, just buttons. the code for calling the form when clicking the submenu item, is:
begin
     call_form('elevi',no_hide, no_replace, query_only);
end;but i still can open multiple times.. why? can u be please more explicitly on how to do this?
edit:
it worked like this: (didn't know if it's a good solution, but it works)
begin
     if id_null(find_form('elevi')) then
     call_form('elevi',no_hide, no_replace, query_only);
     else go_form('elevi');
     end if;
     end;Thanks for replies :)

Removing the rendered forms from the preiview form of the xml template

Hi All,
I want to remove the Rendereforms ,show forms after clicking the preview button in the xml form. Can any one help me in this regard.
Points will be awarded for helpfull answers. Many thanks.

Well, I suspect there won't be any easy way to hide the window frame. Every window has a visible boarder. It may be possible to write a pjc that can override the coloring of the frame, but unfortunately I have no example of how to do this. Another option might be to use an inline frame (iframe) to display the entire form. Basically, you would create an html file which includes an iframe and the source of that frame will be your form. Create the frame slightly smaller than the form. Make the form's window not movable (in the Builder). It might also be necessary to set the form's window X/Y position to a negative value, for example -2. This would cause the left and top side to fall behind the iframe. The bottom and right side will be covered by the fact that the iframe is smaller than the form. So, the html part might be something like this:
<p align="center">
<iframe src="http://server:8888/forms/frmservlet?form=myForm" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" height="598" width="798"></iframe>
</p>

Migrate datas from RDB to Oracle 10g

The applications that use the RDB database are being re-write with Forms based on an Oracle database.
Of course, before we use the new application, we will have a step for moving datas from old tables in Rdb to the new tables (new design) in Oracle (developpers are working on sql scripts for that). But when the new applications with Oracle db will be in production, I would like to save datas (datas as datas) from Rdb in an Oracle database with the same struture as the rdb structure (same tabels, with same columns and same datas in). The idea is we will be able to verify datas through SQL.
Do you have any idea ?
Thank you
AnneMar

Hi AnneMar,
there exists a Metalink note that serves as a starter for such a migration:
Note 135929.1: RDBPROD: Advice on Converting from Oracle Rdb to Oracle RDBMS
For your convenience I am pasting that note here.
Regards
Wolfgang
PURPOSE
To provide general advice on migrating from Oracle Rdb to Oracle RDBMS
SCOPE & APPLICATION
This advice is intended for people who have already decided to convert, and are starting to plan how to do it. It provides a broad outline of how it can be done and some of the things to consider.
Advice on Converting from Oracle Rdb to Oracle RDBMS
General notes
* The longer you leave it the easier it is likely to be. The SQL interfaces to Rdb are growing closer to those for RDBMS, particularly OCI Services for Rdb.
* Converting the database will probably be the easy part. The applications are likely to require more work.
* A staged approach is more likely to be successful than trying to do everything in one go.
A possible strategy for converting
1. Install OCI Services for Rdb. Pick a small application, or one that needs rewriting anyway. Convert the application using the method and tools of your choice to access the Rdb database via SQL*Net for Rdb. If unsatisfied with the results, you can repeat this with alternative methods or tools, until you find one that works for you.
2. Install RDBMS. For those tables used by applications converted to use OCI Services, create database links. Point the converted application to the RDBMS database instead of the Rdb one. This step can be done whilst other applications are being converted. No data is yet stored in the RDBMS database, so any problems that arise with it, possibly due to lack of appropriate DBA experience, can be worked around by just pointing the programs back at the Rdb database.
3. Now you have a choice.
1. Gradually move the data into the RDBMS database. First new tables, then tables only accessed by applications that have already been converted. This has the advantage of taking one step at a time, so it would be easy to back up temporarily if a problem is found. The main disadvantage is that now that the data is spread over two databases your backup and recovery strategy will be more complicated.
2. Finish converting the applications. Then transfer all the data over in one go. If there is a lot of data, then going back would be a big job, so there is more risk.
Alternative common interfaces
Besides OCI Services there are several other APIs that applications could use to access Rdb or RDBMS transparently.
* JDBC - If your applications are written in JAVA or you want to rewrite them in JAVA
* ODBC - If your applications run on Windows
* .NET - If your applications run on Windows
Techniques for converting a database
* Transferring Metadata Extract the metadata using RMU/EXTRACT. Cut down and edit the output to produce a script to use to create the corresponding RDBMS objects.
* Transferring data
For small tables,
INSERT INTO rdbms_table SELECT columns FROM rdb_table;
(using dblinks to the rdb database and SQL*Net for Rdb)
For large tables, use RMU/UNLOAD to create a delimited file and then load that into RDBMS using SQL$Loader.
* Keeping data current in RDBMS while testing the transfer can be done using the Logminer Option in Rdb.
Notes
1. OCI Services for Rdb was formerly known as SQL*Net for Rdb and is part of Oracle SQL/Services. Though this is structured as a separate product from Oracle Rdb no additional license is needed.
2. Some limits are different between Rdb and RDBMS.
For example: in Rdb table and column names can be 31 bytes but RDBMS only allows 30.
3. The RMU/EXTRACT command can write the SQL definitions of objects within a Rdb database to a text file.

You can use a timer in your when-validate-item trigger. In the when-timer-expire trigger you can call the procedure open_form
