OLE Controls in Oracle Forms 6

Env: Oracle 8xi, Forms 6, Attachmate Infoconnect OCX, Windows 2000
Hey All,
I am looking for general information on using Oracle Forms PL*SQL Library
for OLE2 to access and utilize a 3rd party Ole Control. I have a short-term
gig doing this and with the exception of how to utilize the properties and
methods of a 3rd Party OCX, I am a fish out of water when it comes to Oracle
development. I can embedded and utilize the control in VB and VC++ with no
problems but I need some help on how to embedded an OCX into an Oracle Form
and instantiate and use it through PL*SQL and the Oracle OLE2 Library. There
is no documentation on how to do this with Oracle from Attachmate. According
to Oracle you can use a 32 bit OCX in an Oracle form. I just need
a little help on how to do it.Any code snippets, book reccommedations, sites, or advice as to where to
look would be helpful.
Additionally, I am looking for anyone who has specific experience in using
Attachemate's Infoconnect OCX. Any info you could share would be
appreciated. Thanks for any help you can provide!

Import OLE methods in Oracle Forms 6i

Hi,
I am experiencing some problems to import OLE methods in Oracle
Forms 6i.
In Forms 6i, I select Program->Import OLE Library Interfaces
menu option. After the Import OLE Library Interfaces dialog box
appears, I can see the OLE Class that I would like to access
but none of its methods or events.
Why the methods and events do not appear?
Thanks in advance.

If all you want to do is extract the documents from the Long Raw columns, you can use UTL_FILE to extract the binary content to the file system. You would have to loop through the records in your table to extract each file. Take a look at article Export BLOB Contents Using UTL_FILE that I googled. Granted, this article discusses exporting a BLOB not a Long Raw, but the concept is the same and you should be able to modify the code sample in the article to work with your Long Raw columns.
Hope this helps,

You must have read some post of a client-server version of Forms. It is always better to post the link that you are referring to

OLE Containers in Oracle Forms 6i

Hello,
We have an Oracle Forms 6i application which stores a large number of documents in LONG RAW columns in Oracle 10g using serialized OLE Container objects. Is there a way to automate the extraction of those documents (PDF and DOC) from the database to the file system?

Can I call any ActiveX control in the Forms under Oracle EBS 11.5.10 ?

Hi All,
I have a custom form that works under EBS 11.5.10 (Windows Envoirnment). Is there any way for me to call an ActiveX control on this form? My requirement is to show a URL ( a web application) in Microsoft Web Browser.
I can successfully call ActiveX outside of the EBS i.e as forms runtime.
In EBS I get FRM-41344 OLE object not defined for <<block item>> in the current record and then FRM-40735 for exception ORA-305500.
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT is an option to accomplish but ActiveX will provide more control and better look and feel.
Thanks,
from Houston.

Data Grid in oracle forms

Hello all,
Is there a way that I can embed a excel grid kind of control in oracle forms.
Your input will be much much more appreciated
Thanks,
Karthik

in 6i C/S you have OLE-Container, in which you can do that.
but in newer versions like 10g you need Java-Beans, no OCX, VBX or Active X or OLE-Container.
If you have a Bean, which can do that, then you can integrate it

You can't change this aspect of the Tree Control in Oracle Forms using built-in functionality. You might be able to extend the Tree Control using Java, but you have to do this yourself. : (

We got the configuration upload to work today and it did show up rather fast on Metalink 3. What we ended up having to do, was to install the software twice on the server once in the c:\sba80\gtwysrvr and once in the c:\sba80\siebsrvr directory.
If you are behind a proxy remember to use the -p parameter when calling setupCCR.

RBAC for Oracle Forms

How can we have role based access control for Oracle Forms.
Say for example purchase Order, Role 'Creator' will have create access to Purchase Order form, Role 'Verifier' will have only update access to Purchase order form and Role 'Approver' will have view only access to Purchase Order Forms.
Request for quick response as requirement is very urgent.
Thanks & Regards

HusseinDear Hussein
I have looked at the above document you have provided, but couldnt get any helpfull information.
The information that this document contains is usefull for OAF forms. We have created four OAF forms
1) to Search, Search page will have two buttons i) Create, when pressed will invoke Create page, ii) Update, when pressed will invoke update page, and view link ii) View, when clicked will invoice page in view mode only,
2) to Create
3) to Update
4) to view
Now, the buttons and link in Search page will have repspective fuction attached to them. so when through grants and permissions if create fuctions is assinged to user say 'X', on search page user will be able to see, create button, and he can create record in create page, if function is not assinged to user, he wont be able to see create button, that mean that user will not have create write.
But how to control the same in oracle standard form.

Third party ocx controls with oracle 6i forms

I would appreciate if anyone can get the solution on how to work with the ocx controls on the oracle forms.i am doing the same thing and when I embed the ocx control on the form during design time and then execute it then the ocx control is lost during run time as I have to insert the object on the oracle form during the run time again and then how do I call the functions of the ocx ?please guide me at the earliest.thank you.

Firstly upgrade to the latest patch of 6i, early version of 6i have a bug where OCX licence information is not correctly stored with the container, so in some cases the control will not instanciate at runtime.
To call functions in the control, the simplest thing to do is to use the OLE Importer (MENU: Program -> Import OLE Library Interfaces). Choose the class of your control and Forms will generate you a PL/SQL package to call all the functions in the control.
The rest is up to you - you have to know the API of the control you are using.

Oracle.forms.webutil.ole.OleFunctions class not found

Hi all,
I am getting oracle.forms.webutil.ole.OleFunctions class not found at design time in Forms Builder 10gR2 as well as at run time when working with webutil. Webutil is properly configured. I am using file uploading and downloading and it is working fine. but when I m working with CLIENT_OLE2, it is giving class not found exception. Can someone please help me to identify the problem.
Thanks in advance

hi
Forms [32 Bit] Version 10.1.2.0.2 (Production in this version the webutil is already installed but u have to sign jars and there is also some modifications
in formsweb.cfg.
please check this.
How to get up and running with WebUtil 1.06 included with Oracle Developer Suite 10.1.2.0.2 on a win32 platform
Solution
Assuming a fresh "Complete" install of Oracle Developer Suite 10.1.2.0.2,
here are steps to get a small test form running, using WebUtil 1.06.
Note: [OraHome] is used as an alias for your real oDS ORACLE_HOME.
Feel free to copy this note to a text editor, and do a global find/replace on
[OraHome] with your actual value (no trailing slash). Then it is easy to
copy/paste actual commands to be executed from the note copy.
1) Download http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/jacob-project/jacob_18.zip
and extract to a temporary staging area. Do not attempt to use 1.7 or 1.9.
2) Copy or move jacob.jar and jacob.dll
[JacobStage] is the folder where you extracted Jacob, and will end in ...\jacob_18
     cd [JacobStage]
     copy jacob.jar [OraHome]\forms\java\.
     copy jacob.dll [OraHome]\forms\webutil\.
The Jacob staging area is no longer needed, and may be deleted.
3) Sign frmwebutil.jar and jacob.jar
Open a DOS command prompt.
Add [OraHome]\jdk\bin to the PATH:
     set PATH=[OraHome]\jdk\bin;%PATH%
Sign the files, and check the output for success:
     [OraHome]\forms\webutil\sign_webutil [OraHome]\forms\java\frmwebutil.jar
     [OraHome]\forms\webutil\sign_webutil [OraHome]\forms\java\jacob.jar
4) If you already have a schema in your RDBMS which contains the WebUtil stored code,
you may skip this step. Otherwise,
Create a schema to hold the WebUtil stored code, and privileges needed to
connect and create a stored package. Schema name "WEBUTIL" is recommended
for no reason other than consistency over the user base.
Open [OraHome]\forms\create_webutil_db.sql in a text editor, and delete or comment
out the EXIT statement, to be able to see whether the objects were created witout
errors.
Start SQL*Plus as SYSTEM, and issue:
     CREATE USER webutil IDENTIFIED BY [password]
     DEFAULT TABLESPACE users
     TEMPORARY TABLESPACE temp;
     GRANT CONNECT, CREATE PROCEDURE, CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM TO webutil;
     CONNECT webutil/[password]@[connectstring]
     @[OraHome]\forms\create_webutil_db.sql
     -- Inspect SQL*Plus output for errors, and then
     CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM webutil_db FOR webutil.webutil_db;
Reconnect as SYSTEM, and issue:
     grant execute on webutil_db to public;
5) Modify [OraHome]\forms\server\default.env, and append [OraHome]\jdk\jre\lib\rt.jar
to the CLASSPATH entry.
6) Start the OC4J instance
7) Start Forms Builder and connect to a schema in the RDBMS used in step (4).
Open webutil.pll, do a "Compile ALL" (shift-Control-K), and generate to PLX (Control-T).
It is important to generate the PLX, to avoid the FRM-40039 discussed in
Note 303682.1
If the PLX is not generated, the Webutil.pll library would have to be attached with
full path information to all forms wishing to use WebUtil. This is NOT recommended.
8) Create a new FMB.
Open webutil.olb, and Subclass (not Copy) the Webutil object to the form.
There is no need to Subclass the WebutilConfig object.
Attach the Webutil.pll Library, and remove the path.
Add an ON-LOGON trigger with the code
         NULL;
to avoid having to connect to an RDBMS (optional).
Create a new button on a new canvas, with the code
         show_webutil_information (TRUE);
in a WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger.
Compile the FMB to FMX, after doing a Compile-All (Shift-Control-K).
9) Under Edit->Preferences->Runtime in Forms Builder, click on "Reset to Default" if
the "Application Server URL" is empty.
Then append "?config=webutil" at the end, so you end up with a URL of the form
      http://server:port/forms/frmservlet?config=webutil
10) Run your form.sarah

WebUtil - oracle.forms.webutil.ole.oleFunctions bean not found.

All,
We're using webutil 1.0.6 on forms 9.0.4. Stuck up with the following error at runtime 'oracle.forms.webutil.ole.oleFunctions bean not found.'.
In metalink, we noticed that webutil 1.0.6 should't be used with 9.0.4 unless some modification made on PLL. Unfortunately in OTN we can't find webutil 1.0.5 source version.
Anyone please tell us from where we can get WebUtil 1.0.5 source or how can we solve this problem.
Thank you very much.
