Next_day() equivalent in forms

Is there an equivalent to next_day() function in forms(trigger) as it wouldn't run with me
Thanks in advance

Hello,
Next_day() is a sql function that you can use within a form like any other sql function supported by the client side.

HOST Command Equivalent In Forms 9i

We are migrating from Forms 5.0 to 9i. The current application is using lot of HOST commands in Forms 5.0.
As we knw HOST command is deprecated in Forms 9i, what method to be followed to recode this feature?
Thanks in advance.

The client_host command that ships with the WebUtil package runs the command on the client workstation in a web deployed environment.
HOST runs the command on the machine where the Forms application/executable is running. This can a number of places:
- When running the later versions (web deployed) this is your application server
- When running GUI Forms in client/server mode this is the client workstation
- When running character bases Forms this is the machine that runs Oracle Forms. That could either be the client itself or a server that you access through telnet.
To come back to your question: client_host cannot be used to execute an operating system command at the database server. Personally, I would use DBMS_SCHEDULER for this an schedule an EXTERNAL JOB to be executed immediately. A Job of type External contains an Operating System command or script that gets executed.
Forms 5.0 is mostly deployed as a GUI client/server application. I don't know if it still supported character mode. Forms 3.0 was a true character mode application (no GUI yet). Forms 4.0 and 4.5 supported GUI and character mode as well.
You state that character mode Forms run on the database server, which is not necessarily true. Character mode Forms can run on whatever machine you want; a client desktop, a central Unix/Linux server or the database server itself. If it doesn't run on your local workstation you just need telnet access to the central server running Forms.
You are correct that client_host is used when migrating from client/server to the web. If you're still running character based Forms on the same server as your database, I would advice using the DBMS_SCHEDULER approach previously described. This keeps you from writing and maintaining a Pro*C program.

ADF equivalent to Forms activity

If I had a screen in Oracle Forms to maintain DEPT, I might write some code to check whether a particular DEPTNO was in use in an EMP record before letting the User delete that record (in other words, pre-empting the foreign key error rather than handling the error when it occurs). How would I achieve that using ADF?
Thanks in advance,
Chris

Thanks for replying, Frank.
I've interpreted your instructions as follows (I'm sure there are other, better, ways):
Create a VO on the table I want to look up.
Override the remove() method in the table-I-want-to-delete-from's EOImpl class, finding the look-up-table's VO handle, then adding a custom where clause based on the table-I-want-to-delete-from's PK, running the query and seeing if I get any rows back. If I do, then I display a message, if I don't then I proceed with the super.remove().
But I can't work out how to get at the look-up-table's VO handle from the table-I-want-to-delete-from's EOImpl class. I thought I'd be able to use the AM's findViewObject() method, but I can't get it to compile.
Any ideas? (anyone!)

Equivalent of forms60_user_date_format key in forms 9.04?

in Forms 6i, the date format can be set using the forms60_user_date_format key.
Is there a equivalent in Forms 10G (9.0.4)? thanks.

Equivalent Sql function for Forms NAME_IN() built in

Please let me know, is there any equivalent Sql function equivalent to Forms Name_in() built in. Thanks.

What would such a function do in pure SQL? Or are you asking if you can refer to Forms variables in SQL that you issue from Forms?
The answer to the first question I will delay until you define what it is that you want to do. The answer to the second question is that there is no way to do that. The database has no way of knowing how to resolve references to variables defined in client side PLSQL.

Calling a Form

Hi,
I want to Call a form from my menu. I remember that in FORMS 6i, you could use "Call Form", "Open Form" and "New Form".
Is there any equivalent in FORMS 10g, or is there another way to do this ?
Cheers,
Marc.

Use the same built-ins... they are the same.
the least you could do is check the online help of your forms builder or search the Forum.

What is the equivalent function of this...

the following codes are in awt form, what are the equivalent swt form of the following function? thank you for your help
ActionListener listener = new MenuItemActionListener(panel);
*MenuItemActionListener(panel); is the awt
Component parent; (Component is the awt)
and using Color.<what_color>
Again thank you!

if you're planning on coming here getting the forum to re-write all your awt code in swt bit by bit, forget it. as far as I know, there's only 2 or 3 people who post here that know swt, and nobody's in the business of rewriting code on other people's behalf anyway. the swt documentation that comes with eclipse, plus the javadocs for swt, are more than good enough for you to manage this

Why are my form fields **** yellow?

Is this a new design feature of Safari? Can I change it -- it's sickening!

I haven't had a chance to finalize it, but I posted the of draft below. I much prefer Acrobat over LiveCycle Designer for forms that don't need to be dynamic, which is probably more than 90% of the forms I work with.
With the release of Acrobat 11, Adobe introduced a number of keyboard accelerators that are available only in form editing mode. Since many are not included in Acrobat documentation, I decided to list them here.

ECC 6.0 and using Adobe forms in Output

Hello,
We're moving to ECC 6.0.
Is there a driver program for Invoicing that would allow us to use adobe forms
as output from within S/D e.g. (from txn VF03 for a invoice).
Scenario:
We have a custom SAPScript invoice that we would like to consider rewriting as an Adobe form. I've created an equivalent Adobe form and now I'm investigating a way to integrate it with the standad Output Determination.
From txn SPRO, under Sales and Distribution>Basic Functions>Output Control>
   Output Determination>Maintain Output Detemination for Billing Documents>
   Maintain Output Types
   Select output type ZRD0
   Select processing routines from the left pane.
   There is a choice of selecting Smartform or PDF as the type.
   There is a smartforms driver program RLB_INVOICE.
Question:
   Is there an equivalent driver program or sample driver program for Adobe forms?
Regards,
Lavaughn

Hi,
Did you check in transaction SFP what are the form available in your system ?
Also , check in the standard print program if it has been adapt to use Adobe Forms instead of smartforms because it's not the same FM used .

Replacement for 10g Forms&Reports standalone server in 11g?

is there a replacement for the 10g Forms&Reports standalone server in 11g environment? Without the need to install Metadata Repository?
thx, florian.
Edited by: fschulze on Oct 16, 2009 1:12 PM

I believe you can install the equivalent in Forms 11g.
If you don't install Portal or Discoverer, then you are not required to install any Metadata repository.
So the steps would be:
1) Install Weblogic Server 11g
2) Install Forms and Report Services 11g
How will you call reports from forms though?

Why do I need to use MOLGA?

I know that this is a very basic question, but I have been asked why do we need to have a new MOLGA for every country; what I know of is:
1.     Is the standard method of supporting multi-country (Global) HCM. MOLGA is central to the SAP HCM solution.
2.     The correct screens are shown in PA30 to maintain the personnel data in the correct formats for social security or equivalent number, form of address, addresses, bank details and so on.
3.     The correct infotypes can be made available by MOLGA, where there are particular pieces of information required on a country by country basis u2013 therefore reducing the risk of non compliance
4.     Correct ESS screens are available
5.     Payroll available by country. For example the payroll program is run per country using the MOLGA PC00_Mxx_calc, where xx is the country code, therefore for GB it is PC00_M08_calc.
But apparently this is not a compelling enough reason - can anyone help with more good reasons?

Hi Marina
hope you are doing good.
Globalized firms need Integrated systems with Independent County Legal, Labor, Taxation ,Currency , Language requirements.
So a Global ERP System will help to achieve this without compromising the local requirements.
I shared my experience , hope it sound sane.

Purchase Order - Smartform- Best practises

Hi,
Could anybody suggest on how to load the Bestpractises for Smartforms (Purchase Order) and access it in ECC 6.0 system.
Regards
Syam

Hi Michael,
You confirmed that the smartform and print program for PO in ECC6.0 are /SMB40/MMPO_L and /SMB40/FM06P respectively. I am a functional person and I understand that these form and program have to be assigned to the PO in the Purchasing configuration, where, you need to specify the medium, program, form routine, form, pdf/smartform, and the form type. For the medium, I would need to indicate 1 (printout). My questions are as follow:
1. For the Program, is it the /SMB40/FM06P?
2, What is the equivalent std Form Routine for this smartform.
3. Under Form, should this be blank?
4. Under the PDF/Smartform, is this the/SMB40/MMPO_L ?
The configurations are in
A) MM -> Purchasing ->Messages -> Forms for Messages -> Assign form and output program for PO
b) MM -> Purchasing ->Messages -> Output control -> Message type -> Define message type for PO
I am new to forms and my first time to use ECC 6.0. I hope to learn from you. If possible kindly send your response to [email protected] where I can easily check my email.
Thanks a lot.

Problem webutil on server

Hi all.
I have a problem with webutil on the server-side.
On my client-machine (operating system windows xp service pack2) everything it is ok. But when I run webutil on the server (operating system Linux), I have this message error:
"The webutil object group is not available in this form. Webutil cannot work.
Webutil error: oracle.forms.webutil.olefunctions bean not found. CLIENT_OLE2.create_obj will not work."
The thing that is strange is that local on my machine everything is ok. I have tried to cancel the library and the object group from the form and then to re-attach them, but the result is the same: local on my machine it's ok and on the server I have got the message above.
Is there anyone that can help me???
Thanks, Fabrizio

Dear Fabrizo ;
I am so sorry i did not work on Linux plafrom befor,
but i think it has the same configuraion as windows.so if you check webutil configuration again and again i think it could work.
and this is webutil configuration

1- ....................... The Principles of the WebUtil Design .
2- ....................... HOW TO CONFIGURE AND DEPLOY WEBUTIL .
3- ....................... HOWT O ATTACH IT IN UR FORM .
1 - The Principles of the WebUtil Design :-
The aim of WebUtil is to provide a utility that any Forms developer can use to carry
out complex tasks on the client browser computer by simply coding in PL/SQL.
Although WebUtil itself uses Java extensively, there is no need for the developer to
have any understanding of Java. Everything the developer needs to do is exposed
through a standard PL/SQL library webutil.pll.
All of the components that are needed to support WebUtil are likewise exposed
through a simple object group.
For an Oracle Forms application to take advantage of WebUtil, you only need to attach
the WebUtil library and subclass the Object Group. No setup or configuration in code
is required as WebUtil is self-configuring and where necessary, self-installing.
Some features of WebUtil, such as client side OLE integration, require code to be
installed onto each client computer. One of the key features of WebUtil is its ability to
"self-install" in these cases. There is no need for an administrator to configure each and
every computer because WebUtil detects which client-side pieces are missing and
automatically installs them.
Another aim of WebUtil is to simplify porting of client server integration code to work
on the client browser computer. To achieve this, WebUtil contains PL/SQL APIs mimic
the behavior of the equivalent native Forms functions.
An example of this is the Forms TEXT_IO package. This package provides the
developer with facilities to read and write text files on the application server. WebUtil
provides an alternative implementation, CLIENT_TEXT_IO, which is identical to
TEXT_IO except that calls are implemented on the client browser computer rather than
on the middle tier. Migrating existing code to operate on the client can be achieved
using a simple search and replace operation in the PL/SQL code to changes references
to point at the alternative "CLIENT" implementations provided by WebUtil.
The final goal of WebUtil design is to add value to Oracle Forms as a product. WebUtil
adds capabilities to Forms which have simply not existed before in either web or client
server deployments.
