Problem with inserting new records in Oracle Forms

Hi Friends,
I am a new user to Oracle Forms and I need a help from you people. The problem is as follows:
I have a data block in which I can display a number of records. In this data block the user will be able to edit the fields if no child records are found in another table. I have used when-new-record-instance to attain this scenario. All are text items. One item licensee_id which is made invisible by setting the property in property palette and required=no ( as this is the primary key of the table). Also the audit columns are made invisible.
The code for it is as follows:
DECLARE
     v_alert_button NUMBER;
     v_cnt                          NUMBER;
BEGIN
     SELECT COUNT (*)
INTO v_cnt
FROM id_rev_contracts
WHERE licensee_id = :ID_REV_LICENSEES.licensee_id;
IF v_cnt > 0 THEN
set_item_property('ID_REV_LICENSEES.LICENSEE_NAME', UPDATE_ALLOWED, PROPERTY_FALSE);
ELSE
     set_item_property('ID_REV_LICENSEES.LICENSEE_NAME', UPDATE_ALLOWED, PROPERTY_TRUE);
     -- set_item_property('ID_REV_LICENSEES.LICENSEE_NAME', INSERT_ALLOWED, PROPERTY_TRUE);
END IF;
END;
Now in this data block I should also be able to insert new records and for the same I have used PRE-INSERT trigger and the code for it is as follows:
DECLARE
     v_alert_button NUMBER;
CURSOR v_licensee_id IS SELECT id_rev_licensees_s.NEXTVAL FROM dual;
BEGIN
OPEN v_licensee_id;
FETCH v_licensee_id INTO :id_rev_licensees.licensee_id;
CLOSE v_licensee_id;
IF :id_rev_licensees.licensee_id IS NULL THEN
Message('Error Generating Next v_licensee_id');
RAISE Form_Trigger_Failure;
END IF;
:ID_REV_LICENSEES.created_by := :GLOBAL.g_login_name;
:ID_REV_LICENSEES.last_updated_by := :GLOBAL.g_login_name;
:ID_REV_LICENSEES.create_date := SYSDATE;
:ID_REV_LICENSEES.last_update_date := SYSDATE;
EXCEPTION
WHEN form_trigger_failure
THEN
RAISE form_trigger_failure;
WHEN OTHERS
THEN
v_alert_button :=
msgbox ('ERROR in Pre-Insert - ' || SQLERRM, 'STOP', 'Contact IST');
RAISE form_trigger_failure;
END;
Every thing is compiling fine but at the run time when I am trying to insert a new record I am receiving the following error:
FRM-40508:ORACLE error:unable to insert record
I also think the pre-insert record is not firing at the time of inserting a new record and saving it. So I request you to please delve into this problem and suggest me how to overcome this problem. Code snippets would do more help for me. If you need any other things from me please let me know. I will see if I could be of any help in that concern because I may not be able to send the entire form as it is.
Thanks and regards,
Vamsi K Gummadi.

first of all
pre-insert fires after the implicit/explicit commit/commit_form is issued and before the real insert is submitted to the db.
i would suggest to remove the error handling part for the moment
because i believe you might be getting "ora-xxxx cannot insert null"
and also make visible the primary column to check if the pre-insert is executed.
it would be better to make visible for a while the not null columns of the table/block
i suppose that the block is insert allowed and you are using table as the source of the block and not any procedures or something...

Project Fusion & Oracle Forms

Does Oracle Forms have any role within Project Fusion. If not then End-of-Forms?

Frank
I see Oracle shifting its focus (APP11i) from pure Forms to Java centric Forms to meet the business requirements. My question was actually to guess for next-generation application (Fusion) building around SOA still have some contribution from Form. If Forms contribution is minimized then surely Oracle is not improving Forms functionality (I am not considering Java integration or ease of deployment as functionality improvements).
A road map for Forms is certainly here to assure that forms are here to stay but will little or no improvement in features.

New Project for Oracle Open Source Projects Page

Another SQL*Plus clone but this one is written in pure java, feel free to add it to the Oracle Open Source Projects page:
SQL*More is a tool to execute commands against SQL databases in the same vein as SQL*Plus for Oracle. Key features are platform independence, database independence, a self-contained networking stack, a terminal friendly CLI implementation, and macro-like commands.
Thanks,
Marc

Happy to, but we'll need your project URL.

Error FRM-40012 Form was created by a new version of Oracle Forms.

Hi,
I install my db, AS and Developer Suite in the same machine. When I run the forms by Developer, it keep complaining report server unaccessable. Someone told me to run it by AS. When I try, the error FRM-40012 prompts out. I check the version of Form is 10.2.1.0.2 and the Forms Services Version is 9.0.4.0.19 which is the only available version in Oracle web site.
Can anybody tell me how to do to solve the problem? Thanks.
Rgds

To say things a little clearer, don't develop with Forms 10 and deply on Forms 9. If you want to develop on Forms 9.0.4 & deploy on 9.0.4, that will work.
Also, 10gR1 (which includes Forms 9.0.4) is going to be desupported at the end of this year. 10.1.2.0.2 is a good place to be right now.
So, the best answer is to keep developing in Forms 10 & get the Forms 10 in AS 10gR2 Forms & Reports Services which is available for download on OTN at: http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/htdocs/101202.html
Be sure to look for Forms & Reports Services Standalone. It is a one disk download for most platforms.
Cordially,
Steve

JDev vs. Oracle Forms

Hello,
Can any body reveal strategic question about
Oracle Forms and forms in JDeveloper.
I mean somethink like "when should I use what"?
According to Oracle's Internet strategy
Java is a prime concern for development and
here is some misunderstanding for me.
From perspective it is obviously to use JDeveloper.
But for what reason and what prespective should
I start new project with Oracle Forms?
Thanks in advance.

Question 1 - the file will no longer be useable with Reports 10g - you will loose everything.
Question 2 - No, newer versions of Oracle Forms and Reports are not backward compatible with older versions.

Oracle Forms Recognition - non-Accounts Payable application

Hi
I've done a couple of projects using Oracle Forms Recognition (OFR) to process invoice images for Invoice Automation. Recently, I was asked to configure OFR to process some images for another purpose, as a proof of concept. Put simply, I just need to grab a couple of values from scanned images. No validation required.
Here's what I have done so far:
- I created a new project in Designer, and have been able to create the new fields that I want to pull off the images.
- I copied the AP ini file and have configured it as best I can
- I created a new RTS instance and pointed it at the new ini file.
However, when I try to start the RTS instance, it starts and then stops straight away. I checked the OFR logs, and there are no errors that I can see.
Does anyone have any suggestions about possible culprits for the RTS issue? Also, any suggestions on how to configure the ini file would be appreciated. For exaple, there are a lot of sections in the ini file that relate directly to AP. For instance, the PON_ sectionrelates directly to the PO Number field in Designer. Where is that relationship defined?
Finally, regarding the Learnset - obviously, with AP with have the supplied Learnset. With my custom solution, I will have an empty Learnset. Any suggestions how to get the process moving with an empty Learnset?
Thanks for any thoughts,
A

Just in case, I have to ask if you've set the RTS batch scanning delay mode to something other than the default of 0 which scans once and stops?

Oracle forms 9i/10g connecting SQL Server

I am currently working on a Project with Oracle Forms 9i at front end and Microsoft
SQL server at back end. Could Any one please recommand me the steps to connect
Oracle 9i application with SQL Server database.

Follwoing is the soluton which I got from orafaq forum:
<<<<<
I'd go for an ODBC on the database server, using HSODBC. It worked quite well on a data warehouse project using OWB. I fail to see why it wouldn't work for Forms.
MHE
>>>>>
Now I'm fully in a confused and frustrated state. Each person is saying different solutions for the problem. One person is saying to connect using ODBC driver while other is saying to connect JDBC driver. Actually which driver should I configure? Also no one is giving a clear picture for the problem.
How can I get a detailed solution for this problem (with screen shots) which include step by step procedure to configure a driver?
So, I would be pleased if you could please guide me with step by step procedure to get connected with Oracle Forms using SQL Server?
Or atleast some reference site where I can find the same.
Thanks.

Oracle report 10g vs Oracle Forms 11g

Hi,
My application run on Oracle 10g with Oracle Forms&Report 10g
I have to modify a report file which was saved by oracle report 11g.

Continuer ?" (translation : "The file opened was saved with a more recent version of Oracle Report. You may lose some information. Continue ?").
What kind of information I may lose ?
Can I modify my file on Oracle Report 11g and compile it in Oracle Report 10g ?
Or
Can I modify my file on Oracle Report 11g and compile it in Oracle Report 11g and run it on Oracle Report 10g ?
Thanks a lot.

Oracle forms in 10g

Hi,
I am new bee to oracle forms.
I have installed oracle application server in Windows xp.
How to start with from here.
How to create new forms /page /design in oracle 10g
please anyone tell that

Oracle application server (AS) is just a runtime for forms. For creating form you need developer suite.
I use Forms 10g. You can download it from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/developer-suite/downloads/index.html
The developer suite comes with OC4J - which is some kind of application server emulator, I'd say. But it's ok for developing purposes.
The AS and OC4J must be configured. There are three main files:
* formsweb.cfg
* default.env
* webutil.cfg
That's shortly about AS.
Quick introduction to forms:
1. All data is stored in items, which can be text items, list items, radio buttons, checkboxes, buttons etc. Items are of 2 types: database item (item relates to some table column in database) or non-database item.
2. All items are grouped in data blocks. Block are of 2 types: database block (it's source is DB table, or view, or select clause) and non-database (or control) block.
3. All items are laid out for display on canvases.
4. Canvases are displayed in windows.
Events in forms are called triggers. When event occurs it is said "the trigger is fired". Names for triggers are usually self-explanatory. For instance, when-mouse-doubleclick, when-button-pressed, when-checkbox-changed. There are 3 types of triggers: item level (items can handle those events), block level (block handles the events, items cannot) and form level (form handles the events).
And i think that's all - everything else in Oracle documentation and google.

Regarding installation and usage of oracle forms 11g on windows 7

dear all,
i am new to the oracle forms and reports feature. i tried installing forms and reports following certain steps which i could find from the internet, but it could not be installed.
i ended up crashing my system.can anyone of you help me in providing the step by step installation of oracle 11g forms and reports on windows 7 64 bit.
regards,
sreejith

When I was cleaning my email account i noticed message from OTN forum. I forgot to reply :/
I followed instructions from the message above and it worked. Oracle XE + PPRD (only forms to save disk space and RAM) + weblogic, i have also installed APEX 3.2.1. It all works at my win 7 system
There where one bug in forms builder database connector, solution was to replace it with the file from SQL*Plus (AFAIR it was tnsnames.ora file)
So thank you Chris999, you helped me a lot.

How long is Oracle Forms/Developer Suite to be supported?

Hi.
I'm just curious how long Oracle are committed to supporting or creating new versions of Oracle Forms Developer / Developer Suite. I've heard, from one or two sources, that the intention is to abandon forms, and move the focus completely to Jdeveloper some time soon...
Is this true? does anyone know anything different?

Here we are again whith that question...
I'm a senior forms developer (and to make a little humour i've just recently learned designer...)
I think the confusion comes also from "J2EE Application Development for Forms and Designer Developers" which can make us thinking oracle is pushing up to J2EE and prepare us for the Dead of Forms RIP ...
And also that forms developer like me are a little bit afraid because they probably have no skills in J2EE.
But for me it is clear now.
There is no reason to migrate Forms to J2EE with whatelse tool can be sell to you.
I tried some demos in the past with such tools and it makes me laugh, converting a simple master detail forms dept/emp.
What can such tools make with very complex forms and logic ?
But the question is if I had to create a new application will i still do it with Forms ?
And the answer (for me) is no, especially when I see what the next Jdeveloper 11g will be able to do (I tried the fusion order demo and i was really impressed)
You say "I've invested so much time in learning, and becoming proficient at Oracle Forms..."
And so did I but I bought the book "Oracle JDeveloper 10g for Forms and PL/SQL Developers" and I study it page after page to enter the ADF world and upgrade my knowledge.
So Forms or J2EE it is your choice and i will not post the link to the SOD (francois did it) but Forms can also live in a SOA world http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/pdf/10gR2/forms-soa-wp.pdf
but we, forms developers, we must not only focus on forms and its death, but also go ahead and invest so much time we did to learn forms in learning J2EE, BPEL and etc etc.
Hope this can help
Jean-Yves
ps : relating to older post, forms was dead each time a new version of the appServer was comming :o)

Is there a Migration tool for migrating Oracle forms 5 to Java

Hi,
I would like to know if there are any oracle tools available for migrating Oracle forms to j2ee.I read that " Oracle JHeadstart 10g" migrates the forms 6i to java/html.Does Oracle JHeadstart 10g also migrate forms 5 to j2ee.I am new to both oracle forms and j2ee and any information about this would be a great help.
Thanks,
Kevin

Kevin,
there are a couple of migration partners that offer their migration tool and many are listed on the otn page for Forms (otn.oracle.com/products/forms). You may want to make yourself a picture of how efficient such a migration coul dbecome
