Multiple forms & Reports

Hi,
I am new to 9iAS. I have Forms running on 9iDB. I need help in calling another form using a command button. Where is the other form supposed to be located? Also, could you tell me how can I call a report from within a form? Thank you,
Best,
Srilakshmi

To open another Form use New_form or Call_form or open_form (all in the online help).
Use the forms90_path environment variable to specify where your Forms are.
The Forms section on OTN has a paper about calling reports.

(and also a Forms specific forum).

Best Practices for Multiple Forms-Reports Instances (WebLogic) on Win2008R2

Hello all,
I’ve succeeded in creating two instances of Forms/Report (FR) in WebLogic and am looking at about 5 or 6 FR instances on a one Windows Server 2008R2 box. I understand each instances will have its own folder (FR_Inst1) structure under the Middleware folder. Currently I have two instances configured each with its own Home (FR_Home1 & FR_Home2) and Domain (FR_Domain1 & FR_Domain2). Both the of the separate FP applications function correctly.
Can multiple similar type instances share a single Home (FR_Home)? Can multiple similar type instances share a single Domain outside of the WebLogic Domain, such as FR_Domain?
Thanks,
Ron

Thanx for the reply! I read through the documents and they are very good at explaining how to install the different components individually. I still can't find much on installing them together. I hope it's not just going to be a trial and error thing.
So far I've installed done the following successfully:
Installed 10.3.5 weblogic
Forms and Reports 11g on top of 10.3.5
I've created an additional managed server for our ADF applications.
My next step is upgrading the JSF to 2.x. I would have to stage patches 12917525 and 12979653. I'm afraid it will break the forms and reports though. Any ideas?

How to pass a parameter from a report to multiple forms in the same page

Hi:
i have a report and a lot of forms in the same page. The fact is that i want to stablish a link over a filed in the report which would make some information appear in those forms so that information could be updated. For example: i have a report with company names. Over those names i want to put a link. When the link would be pressed the forms would reflect the information about that comany. Is this possible to be done? how can i do this or something similar?
Thanks.
Regards. Urko.

Please see post Re: session state security
It has been done for a single form in a page and can be extended to multiple forms as well.

Multiple interactive reports/tab. forms: future or everlasting expectation?

At the end of September, the statement of direction for APEX is updated for 4.2.
I notice that there's not a word anymore about the possibility to use multiple interactive reports and tabular forms on one page (declarative, without the tricks described in so many blogs and forums).
Does this mean that it will never be possible or just not yet in 4.2?
Thanks in advance for any enlightening comment about this :-)
Regards,
Bart

Bart, Joe,
Thanks for bringing this enhancement request up again. Allowing for multiple tabular forms or multiple interactive reports on one page is still a feature that we’re considering for a future release of Oracle Application Express. But we honestly don’t know yet whether this is going to make it into APEX 4.2 or a later release. And yes, there’s certainly a chance that this may proof to be too disruptive to the current implementation, and thus require a different approach. I realize this isn’t the answer you were looking for, but all we can say that we’re still actively looking into making this possible as a standard feature.

Marc

One parameter for multiple Crystal reports in Publication

Does anyone know if it is possible to enter one identical parameter for multiple Crystal reports in publication when scheduling? BOE 3.1 SP3 Windows, Java.
To elaborate I am creating publication with multiple reports, each report has one parameter and this parameter is identical in every report in publication. So instead of entering this parameter many times I would like to enter once.
If yes point me in the right direction to get the how to or post the steps.

Daniel,
Thank you so much for your answer. It was very helpful. In the end, it didn't work but it helped me figure out what was happening. I use a different form for the reports and I had it coded in the form which report to use. I created a second form for the second crystal and then I used an if statement to choose the form and it worked like a charm.
Thanks so much again!

Hello guys,
I have created application with couple of pages, but now I have one critical issue with one page.
In this page I have created multiple forms in one region by customize templated, that is working very much fine, but I unable to insert/update data into the DB table through this page.
My sinceraio is something like that, I have couple of tables, where p_id is common in all of the tables, now this issue page I have created multiple(2) forms in one region where both the forms are built but two separated DB tables in one both of them has one column in common ie p_id, the value of p_id is processed from the previous page.
I am aware of the apex limitation about one table for region and hence I created View from this two different tables and above that created INSTEAD OF trigger for insert and update purpose as through I can't, so.

Generating for Multiple forms

Hi all,
How can i generate Object list report for multiple no of forms.
for individual forms i can go to file-> Administration->Object list report in any FMB.
since i have to generate the same thing for multiple fmb's...how is it possible..do we need to use some sort of batch program for the same...
Please ask for any clarifications..
thanks in advance...

6i Forms, reports etc can be manually generated from a batch file which will loop through all files in the current directory:
FMB to FMX
FOR %%f IN (*.fmb) DO ifcmp60 module=%%f batch=YES logon=YES userid=username/password@db
RDF to REP
FOR %%f IN (*.rdf) DO rwcon60 stype=rdffile source=%%f dtype=repfile batch=YES userid=username/password@db
We also use a similar method for converting libraries, menu's etc. If there's any interest I'll post up the details.

10g AS Forms & Reports Services 10.1.2.0.2

Hi,
Can anyone PLEASE help me!!!!!
I have just installed 10g AS Forms & Reports Services 10.1.2.0.2. I have got the forms to work without any problem.
How on earth does the Reports Server start?
I have read that it is an inprocess server in that when I invoke the report from the browser the server should start. This does not work.
I can go to command prompt and start a standalone server (rwserver =MyRepSrv). But my report does not run on this server either.
However, if I try and install this server as a service (rwserver -install server=.....) a pop-up box tells me to consult my documentation!!!
When I try... http://localhost/reports/rwservlet/getserverinfo? i get....
rep-51002: Bind to report server rep_localhost_bs_appsrv failed
My default reports server on install was rep_localhost_bs_appsrv. This is evident in rwservlet.properties , which I have not modified.
Ultimately I want to launch my Report from my Form. I have the Form working but when I try to launch my Report from my Form I get....
FRM-41213-Unable to connect to report server rep_localhost_bs_appsrv
Someone please help!
Thanks in advance.

hello,
all indications point to the fact that your reports server either does not start up or there is some networking issue that prevents the servlet from communicating with the server.
here are a couple of pointers:
a) after you start up your application server open a web browser and goto http://.../reports/rwservlet/showjobs
this should show you the server queue table. if you get the bind error, then your server has not startet correctly. then i would go into $OH/reports/conf and edit the server config file. check for the <trace .../> element and make sure it is not commented out. then restart the server and try again. now you will find a bunch of trace files in the log directory. they might give you a hint as to what is wrong.
b) if your machine setup uses multiple network cards and/or you are using software VPN (e.g. cisco) and/or you have VMware installed on your machine, switch to naming service for the server (see the reports documnetation for futher details)
in some instances, we have seen issues when multiple NICs (actual physical NICs and/or software NICs, such created by VPN software or VMware) were present on certain machiens. in these cases the corba stack potentially binds to different NICs and the communication from the servlet actually goes out a different NIC than the server binds to. switching to the naming service should help.
bottom line, things should work out of the box, the way you expect them to work, but without knowing any furhter details about your machine or trace information from the server it's hard to diagnose what might be wrong exactly. i would strongly suggest, if the problem persists, to contact oracle support services. they can diagnose and trouble shoot the problem much easier than we can do here at the forum.
thanks,

Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer - Error in Final Setup

I have followed multiple setup instructions now to try and get Forms working on my local machine.
Including the following:
Forms 11g - Installation steps for a developer machine
I have done the following on a Windows 7 64bit Setup:
Installed Oracle 11g Database
Installed Weblogic 64 bit using the wls1033_generic.jar with a 64 bit JDK
Installed Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer, but when I get to the last stage where it goes through steps they all end up as failed and I can get no further, what would cause this?

Check this thread when installing forms 11.1.1.3: Re: Install Forms & Rpts 11.1.1.3 with WebLogic Server 10.3.3 on Win32

Edit table data through multiple forms

Hi everyone,
I have a report page with records from a table. I want to edit the records through multiple forms: one form holds half of the columns to edit, another form holds the rest.
I'm not sure how to create the connections between the pages with the forms and the report page with the record to edit.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

Ways you could go about this:
1. Manually create the items on each page, then on the final page have your own process with the code: insert into <table> (1,2,3,4,5) values (:p1_item, :p1_item2, :p1_item3, :p2_item1, :p2_item2);
2. Have a DML process on each page, only with the columns you want to insert - of course, the items on the pages after the first form page would have to be nullable (which isn't really a good idea imo, unless of course it follows the business rules), otherwise you wouldn't be able to do the initial insert on the first form page - then after create have a branch to the next form page, passing in the primary key to the next page, so its just updating the row when you hit apply changes.

UNIX: problem running an DEV & QA environment using form/report servlets

UNIX: problem running an DEV & QA environment using form/report servlets
I am trying to setup on one server an DEV and QA environment using the Forms Servlet, Forms Listener Servlet and Report Servlet.
I think I have the Forms Servlet and Forms Listener Servlet running properly. The problem is setting up the DEV and QA environment for running reports.
For example, when in DEV environment I would like to run a report from a directory specified in the REPORTS60_PATH. This doesn't seem possible.
It might be easier if I describe my configuration first:
DEV: run all forms and reports from the directory /data/release/dev
QA: run all forms and reports from the directory /data/release/qa
---DEV & QA Settings Forms Listener Servlet:
zone.properties:
# DEV
servlet.fl60dev.code=oracle.forms.servlet.ListenerServlet
servlet.fl60dev.initArgs=EnvFile=/u01/app/oracle/product/ias/6iserver/forms60/server/dev.env
# QA
servlet.fl60qa.code=oracle.forms.servlet.ListenerServlet
servlet.fl60qa.initArgs=EnvFile=/u01/app/oracle/product/ias/6iserver/forms60/server/qa.env
---DEV & QA Settings Forms Servlet:
servlet.f60servlet.code=oracle.forms.servlet.FormsServlet
--- Settings for Reports Servlet:
servlet.RWServlet.code=oracle.reports.rwcgi.RWServlet
Custom Env files since we are using Developer 6i Patch 7
dev.env and qa.env
Here I specify FORMS60_PATH and REPORTS60_PATH,
eg: DEV -> FORMS60_PATH=/data/release/dev
REPORTS60_PATH=/data/release/dev
likewise for QA ../qa
In the formsweb.cfg file i have something like:
[dev]
serverURL=/servlet/fl60dev
form=test.fmx
[qa]
serverURL=/servlet/fl60dev
form=test2.fmx
I have tested the following and they work without problems:
1. forms listener test page, eg: http://webserver:7777/servlet/fl60dev
2. running forms from the 2 environments
eg: http://webserver:7777/servlet/f60servlet?config=dev
this runs the form in the FORMS60_PATH (/data/release/dev)
Now my problems start with Reports.
When I run a report from forms (using run_report_object) it will not run any reports
as specified in the REPORTS60_PATH
Even using this url:
http://webserver:7777/servlet/RWServlet?server=rep60&report=test.rdf&destype=cache&desformat=html&
userid=scott/tiger@test9i
It NEVER seems to pickup and use the REPORTS60_PATH. I have tried nearly everything.
I have gone throught the instructions in "Integrating Oracle9iAS Reports in Oracle9iAS Forms -
White Paper"
(http://otn.oracle.com/products/forms/pdf/277282.pdf)
and Forms6i Patch 7: Oracle Forms Listner Servlet for Deployment of FOrms on the Internet
(http://otn.oracle.com/products/forms/pdf/p7listenerservlet.pdf)
plus any other documents in metalink relating to forms, or report servlets. I am
totally confused, please help.
I have tried setting the REPORTS60_PATH in the following files without success:
custom.env (as specified by initArgs=EnvFile in zone.properties)
jserv.properties
in the zone.properties I have tried to set a custom env file for the report servlet:
servlet.RWServlet.code=oracle.reports.rwcgi.RWServlet
servlet.RWServlet.initArgs=EnvFile=/u01/app/oracle/product/ias/6iserver/forms60/server/dev_rep.env
NO LUCK.
The only place that I can set the REPORTS60_PATH
is in "[6iserver home]/reports60_server" file when I start the reports server (did I even
get this right - I do have to have a reports server running don't I?)
Does this meaan I have to run multiple report servers for each of my environments?
Based on all the documentation I thought that REPORTS60_PATH as specified in the files relating
to the forms servlet would be the place to specify the path.
As you will understand I am getting really fustrated with this and it seems to
me that the reports servlet configuration in 6i is really half baked and since 9i
is coming out it will never be fixed.

I am even not able to run forms servlets from two different forms60_path, Is there any configuration do you make other than what you have mentioned in this post.
I already open a TAR in this regard, I am still waiting reply from ORACLE.
Thanks,
Shaik Ather Ahmed

How to deploy Forms/Reports 9i Application on Internet

Hi Forms gurus,
We install Oracle 9IAS Server on LINUX to deploy Forms/Reports 9i applications. Applications are well deployed using the local network.Now we want to deploy using Internet. I would like to know, the step i must follow to do this.
PLZ it's very important. I'm waiting for your answer.

A technique should might be to create a WAR file with fmx and rdf inside, an deploy it.
For creating WAR file, use Jdeveloper or ant.
For deploying war file, use Oracle9iAS EM control, and add the war to OC4J_BI_FORMS instance.
Then, either the formsweb.cfg is already configured, or you need to add some setup (to be done ...).
A brand new formsweb.cfg file can be give as a parameter of OC4J startup (if needeed).
If the fmx are not already made for Linux, you must do it before packaging them in the war file.
Of course, it's just a track to explore, but it can be interesting in case of a single deployement on multiple OC4J instances.
Another way is to use WEBDAV !

H:inputtext not working with multiple forms in JSF2.2

h:inputText is not working in the latest JSF2.2 with multiple forms. I have 2 forms
form1 have: one command button and one input text
form2 has: one input text and one output label
on click of command button in form1, i am rendering the form2(both outputlabel and input text).
but only output label is rendered properly with correct values (corresponding getter method gets called and value is displaying) but the input text is not calling the corresponding getter method hence showing null.
Note: we noticed this issue only if we use multiple forms, within single form its working fine. also it worked fine in JSF2.0
Version used: JSF api - 2.2 (com.sun.faces) JSF impl - 2.2 (com.sun.faces)
let me know if anyone have solution to handle this.
the forms are not nested and both the beans are in View scope.
<h:form id="form1" prependId="false">
<a4j:commandLink id="actionEdit" title="Click" action="#{bean.action}"
render="paymentInstructionDetail" styleClass="iconLarge edit" />
</h:form>
<h:form id="form2" prependId="false">
<a4j:outputPanel ajaxRendered="true" id="paymentInstructionDetail">
<h:inputText value="#{bean1.amount}" id="sample"/>
<h:outputLabel value="#{bean1.amount}" id="sampleLabel"/>
</a4j:outputPanel>
</h:form>

Your link doesn't work. Do you mind reporting it?
