Multilangual issue : labels in forms and reports

Hi,
We are using Portal 9.0.2.6 in English, French and Dutch. Is there any way to have the report column labels or form labels dynamically translated, instead of writing a separate portlet for each language ? I found somewhere in the report package body that a call is being made to wwv_user_lang.lang(<column label>).
Thx for any help

Migration MS ACCESS FORMS and Reports to Oracle (Java or Forms or Reports)

Hello ,
can someone tell me, how i can migrate a whole MS ACCESS 2000 mdb (with forms and Reports) to Oracle.
I think i have first migrate the Access DB with the OMWB to Oracle and in the next Step to convert the VBA Code to JAVA or Forms9i.
BUT Is there a tool available for Migrating VBA code like the OMWB ????

I don't know if this is an obvious question, but do you have MS Access 2k installed on the machine you are trying to run this from? I'm assuming yes.
If you do and there is still a problem, you should log a ticket for support who will take your mdb and help out with the issue for you.
Many thanks
Barry

Getting error while creating form and report on webservice: ORA-20001: Unable to create form on table. ORA-02263: need to specify the datatype for this column.

i am using the following description to create a web service reference:
web reference :REST
Name :Yahoo Map
URL :http://local.yahooapis.com/MapsService/V1/mapImage
HTTP Method: GET
Basic Authentication: No
Add Parameter:
Name       Type
appid        String
location    String
Output Format: XML
XPath to Output Parameters : /Result
Output Parameter:
Name       Path       Type
Url          /text()      String
Then i tried to create form and report on webservice:
Web Service Reference Type: Yahoo Map
Operation: doREST
All the fields i keep as default
I tick the checkbox (url)in report Parameter
After clicking next whereever required i click create button
I get the following error
ORA-20001: Unable to create form on table. ORA-02263: need to specify the datatype for this column.
Please someone help to solve this as i need to fix it urgently.

i exported the application from apex.oracle.com and imported it to our environment
import went fine, but when I ran the IR page I got
ORA-20001: get_dbms_sql_cursor error ORA-00904: : invalid identifier
evidently the problem is a lack of public execute on DBMS_LOB, which is used in the generated IR source.
while waiting for the DBA to grant privs on DBMS_LOB, changing the dbms_lob.getlength call to length() fixes the IR.
however, i am not getting the download link on the associated form page... changed templates, that's not the issue -- we'll see if that's a dbms_lob issue as well

How to have RAC accept Forms and Reports connection to non specific node?

Hi all,
I have posted this in the Forms forum w/ no result, hoping someone here can help;
Oracle Forms and Reports services, not the entire app server. Version 10.1.2.0.2, one server
Oracle database, RAC Version 11.1.0.6.0, 3 nodes
Instance=RMSTEST
Nodes = RMSTEST1, RMSTEST2, RMSTEST3
I can TNSPING RMSTEST w/o issue
When I have userid in formsweb.cfg = user/pw@RMSTEST we are being prompted when logging into forms and reports to supply the password for the RMSTEST instance, enter the password and we are in.
So we changed this in formsweb.cfg = user/pw@RMSTEST? (?= any of the nodes 1-3) and the password prompt is no longer being requested.
What do I need to do to have Forms and Reports connect to the RMSTEST cluster directly for it to determine which node to connect to instead of having an unbalanced node(s)?
Thanks,
Steve

This is what I have;
RMSTEST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.3.12.111)(PORT = 1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.3.12.112)(PORT = 1521))

Need information re: differences b/w Forms and Reports 6i

Hello,
Hope someone in this forum can help me on this issue (and forgive my naivete wrt techical terms)...the ITS department within my company currently has an Oracle 8i db and an 8i AS. We have Forms (and Reports) 6i currently installed on the 8i AS but have not had need to use those as yet (we are mostly using financial apps). We are looking to upgrade to a 9i db (in add'n to the 8i) and possibly, to a 9i AS as well--and begin using Forms, Reports, Designer and Discoverer. My question is--could someone explain to me if what is commonly referred to as Forms 6i (and Reports, Designer, Discoverer 6i) are currently "bundled" in the Oracle 9i Developer Suite? I guess my (sub) question is: does the 9i Developer Suite have a higher version of 6i (i.e. 6.0.1) than what one would use with against an 8i db on the 8i AS? I see in the literature for Oracle 9i Developer Suite: Oracle Forms Developer, Oracle Designer, Oracle Reports Developer, and Oracle Discoverer (Admin). I've tried going through Oracle documentation but can't seem to find concrete answers.
Thank you very much in advance for anyone who can help me figure this out!
-Karen

Oracle9i Developer Suite contains the latest versions of Oracle Forms/Reports - namely Oracle9i Forms and Oracle9i Reports - both can work with an Oracle8i Database (see metalink.oracle.com).
Oracle Forms 6i and Oracle Reports 6i are part of the older version of Oracle9iDS known as Oracle Internet Developer Suite. They can work with Oracle9i Database as well as Oracle9i Database.
Forms 6i works with Oracle9iAS v1.0.2 and Oracle9i Forms works with Oracle9iAS v2.
I hope this clears things for you.

ORARRP Problem with Oracle Forms and Reports 10g

Forms and reports server characterset aix

My database is in UTF8 mode and is displaying all characters correctly.
However when I run a report using the forms and reports server it uses Western European Character Set.
I have tried re-installing forms and reports server in order to fix this characterset issue, however I am not prompted for a characterset at installation time, so the forms and reports server is still set to the Western European Character Set, thus, some characters are not being displayed (inverse ?).
I have tried specifying UTF8 for NLS_LANG in reports.sh but I only get garbage displayed.
Can someone point me in the right direction please

This issue has now been resolved. Changing the NLS_LANG setting in reports.sh to POLISH_POLAND.UTF8 was correct. The issue then was that greek symbols were displayed. This was a font issue and was resolved by amending a file
$ORACLE_HOME/guicommon/tk/admin/AFM/fontname (where fontname is the characterset you are using,eg in my case Courier ).
the Change was to amend the line:
EncodingSchemeProperty AdobeStandardEncoding
to read
EncodingSchemeProperty FontSpecific
This fixed the problem for me , but Oracle also advise to amend the file $ORACLE_HOME/guicommon/tk/admin/Tk2Motif.rgb:
eg change the below line from:
!Tk2Motif*fontMapCs: iso8859-2=EE8ISO8859P2
to:
Tk2Motif*fontMapCs: iso8859-2=UTF8 (or whatever charcterset you are using).
Note that the exclamation mark has been removed.
Read Oracle Note 300416.1

Can Developer 6i(Forms and Reports) be installed on Vista

Can Developer 6i(Forms and Reports) be installed on Vista??
If yes, then which version?
Please answer..........

Hello,
Developer 6i can be installed on XP/NT/2000 but not on vista, you can try and see if get lots of errors. You can also try installing latest developer suite (10.1.2.0.2) but once again you might face some issue but it worth trying.

Can we enable licensing facility for our customized forms and report...?

He All,
We have a product and we frequently used to send customized forms and reports to our customers through the shipment team after QC certified. But some of the customized forms and reports have sent to the customers without their knowledge from the development team, it is creating a big problem in the customer site.
We would like to know that is there any facilities to verify that this shipment has come from through proper channel or not if not they should not open. Is there any license kind of thing that we can do..? If I run some exe file which will check that and let the customer to use it..?
If any one have the knowledge about this kindly share with us. any kind of information regarding this can be appreciated.
With Best Regards
Thangaraj

So you want the customer to be able to check if the forms where shipped through the proper department from your company?
First thing that comes to my mind is to pack all the Forms in a JAR file (which is basically a ZIP file) and sign the JAR file with the jarsigner tool. To sign the JAR you need access to the private key that is in a keystore that's only available to this single department. The customer can verify if the JAR was signed with a proper certificate.
You could issue your own certificate to do this but requires the user to also first import this certificate so it is trusted. You could also buy a commercial certificate from a vendor like Verisign but there are costs involved.
Just google for jarsigner and keytool to get the idea.

Apex 4.1 Form and Report on Web Service Report displays nothing

Hello I created and tested a webservice using the test feature in Apex 4.1.
I know the results is a string of 1 row.
I created a Form and Report on Web Service. When I run the form there is nothing displayed in the Reports section its just blank.
If I run the sql from the results region I get no data found.
Is the problem the returned data is not stored in the collection?
Edited by: Oracle Primavera on Oct 26, 2011 3:32 PM

What would be the reason for the following.
Testing the webservice in apex returns values.
However when I run Form and Report on Web Service Report if I query the collection it is always empty?
Does anyone have any experience on this issue? Is it a bug? Please some hints I have been trying for two weeks without success.

System setup/installation to use Forms and Reports 11g

We are a high education organization. We recently get a request from faculty to create an Oracle environment for academic purpose. We have Oracle database 11g installed on a Windows 2008 R2 64bit server. Faculty require to use Froms and Reports 11g. My questions is what will be the basic minimum set up to make that happen? Can we also install the WLS with Forms and Reports on the same server that the database is on, then only install Forms and Reports client part on user workstations? Can somebody provide any documentation that can help on this issue? Thanks.

Michael Ferrante's post in this thread has a list of useful documents
How to run Oracle Forms app on local PC?
For your server configuration you should be looking for the Windows 64 bit version of Weblogic Server and Forms.
> My questions is what will be the basic minimum set up to make that happen?
The system requirement guide in the link above will have all the information you need
> Can we also install the WLS with Forms and Reports on the same server that the database is on
Yes, assuming your server meets the combined requirements for both products, although I prefer to keep them separated for ease of administration.
> ..then only install Forms and Reports client part on user workstations?
For Forms 11g there is no installation required on the client to run forms applications (other than JRE). However if the user workstations will be used to run the forms builder and reports builder used to create the forms and reports modules, you will need to install Weblogic and Forms (Developer install type) on each workstation.
One note of caution: Forms 11g is extremely sensitive to the versions of the components - Weblogic Server, Forms, Java, Internet Explorer, etc. I would use only the versions certified in the certification matrix in the link above.

Cant see the native groups on the forms and reports

We are migrating 9.3.3 to 11.1.2.1. We recently found the issue after the migration. Even after migrating the users, groups and provisioning using LCM; we cant see the groups in the forms and reports.
We did the migration for test environment, but didnt encounter this issue.
For eg, when I click on 'assign access' for a planning form I dont see the group assigned to that form. I can see that group in the shared services with all the provisioning. I can find the group and assign it manually for that form. But it doesn't shows up after the migration.
I opened the SR with oracle who suggested to bring over the schema and upgrade/register the applications again, as there might not be any groups present when I register the application before.
We brought over the schema, migrate and register the applications, but the problem still persists.
Has any one encountered issue like this, I would, I would really appreciate any suggestions.
thanks

Thanks for your reply John. I ran the UpdateUsers.cmd utility, but it didnt do anything. I brought over the schema again, updated and registered the application. Everything looks good so far, I can see the groups on dimension access and on the webforms.
When I run create or refresh security it deletes all the records in HSP_ACCESS_CONTROL. The view link disappears from the planning dimensions and i cant see the groups assigned on the webforms as well.
Any idea would be highly appreciated.
thanks

Not able to start a Forms and Reports Services on Weblogic

Dear All,
This is very urgent issue, we are facing in the Production server.
We have installed a Weblogic Server 10.3.6 on Windows Server 2008 R2 64 bit. Then we have installed ADF runtime 11.1.1.6 and Domain creation, then applied patchs 14582286 and 14582309. After this Step we have deployed a ADF application and its working fine. Then we installed a forms 11.1.2.1. Now when we start a FORMS_DOMAIN service we are getting the below error.
Ujr MESZ> <Critical> <WeblogicServer> <BEA-000362> <Server failed. Reason:
There are 1 nested errors:

When the Admin Server for Weblogic (ADF runtime) is Up and running. Now we have started the Node Manager.
Its shows <Secure socket listerner started on port 5556>
Then we have started the Admin Server for Weblogic (Forms Domain) and its also Started and in RUNNING mode. Now when we start the Forms Service we are getting the above error. Same is happening for REPORT service
Please help us to solve this issue.
Note : We are trying to start a service from a user who is having a admin rights for that machine. With the same user we installed the WLS, ADF and Forms.
Also after all the installation we have changed the server name.

Hi Balaji,
What happens if you only start Forms Domain and then Forms and Reports Services, do you get the same error ??
Could you paste here the content of CLASSPATH and PATH operating system environment variables.
