OLE & Web Forms

In the client/server environment, I'm able to use OLE to invoke
and store documents, e.g. word, excel documents, etc. into an
ole container. When I move the same function to the web, it
doesn't seem to work. I cannot get the right mouse button to
show anything. Is this something that will be in the next
release? Could this work using Java or some other way?
Thanks

  • OLE Container linked documents conversion to Web Forms

    We have developed a form within our Oracle 6i application which allows users to navigate directly from the Forms application to relevant documents. We use an OLE container and the documents (Word, Excel, PDF etc) are linked rather than embedded in the database. I understand that OLE containers are not supported within Web Forms. I'd like to maintain the functionality within the application and welcome any suggestions. I was hoping that Web_Util would provide this but it doesn't appear so. We have over 12000 embedded references to documents which we'd like to extract or retain. A possible solution would be to extract the filenames and paths/locations and have them available as a hyperlink.
    I have no idea how to extract the file from the database blob column. There are many samples of code on Metalink to extract the document and store it locally but that's not what we want.
    We use an OLE container (now Obsolete) with the OLE Tenant Type set to Linked, and OLE Tenant Aspect set to Icon. So the actual document is not embedded in the database but somehow the Application (Word Excel etc) knows the filename and path when you double click on the Icon.
    I would like to extract the filename/path from the blob column and transfer it to another column which will be used as a hyperlink.

    The documents are NOT stored in the database, they are linked. We have the documents on the network but have no idea which documents match to which unique record id on the database. Hence the need to extract the name and location of the files. Some ids can have up to 10 different documents attached to them
    The use of OLE Tenant type "Linked" was really a Forms 6 version of a hyperlink.
    I've got a hyperlink working for future use in attaching new documents to a record id. I am worried that we've lost the record of old links. I don't understand how Oracle can make something obsolete without at least providing an upgrade method.
    Hope this makes it clearer.

  • How to simulate DDE in Web Forms?

    Surely there is some elegant way to do DDE in a Web Forms (6i)environment?
    Given that Forms 7i will only support internet deployment and not C/S, there must be some "migration path" to replace the functionality of DDE in the C/S environment.
    My need is a button on a Web Form to dynamically insert data from 8i server into an Excel "template" spreadsheet, then open the spreadsheet on the client. The user can then manipulate data in the spreadsheet. A button in the spreadsheet to synchronize the spreadsheet changes back to the 8i server and exit the spreadsheet and return to the Web Form.
    Forms Server 6i is running on Solaris 2.6
    Any ideas on techniques to do this?
    Can Oracle COM Automation or Oracle Objects for OLE (OO4O) do the dynamic inserting of data into the excel template spreadsheet? (I don't know the difference between these??)
    I know web.show_document can be used with a URL to the spreadsheet on the web server (IIS) and the MIME type will launch excel on the client and copy the file to the client.
    How then can I get the updated cells back into 8i from the spreadsheet?

    Magesh,
    the issue of a SSO protected form showing the logon dialog is a knwon issue for Windows200 and the Oracle9iAS base release. If you applied Forms Patch 1 then this should be solved. Hope that I am right in that you are using Oracle9iAS and not Oracle9iDS. Do you see the Single Sign-On logon screen or the Forms logon dialog directly? Check the forms90.conf file in teh forms90/server directory as this contains the Form sso settings (mod_osso) which by default is commented out and therefore inactive. You need to remove the commenting '#' characters and make sure that each sentence having a '#' in front, after that starts on a new line.
    The Forms deployment documentation within the Oracle9iAS docu provides this information too.

  • RH5 JavaHelp Remote URL to Web Form

    I was wondering if anyone has encountered this issue.
    In order to get around the JavaHelp limitations with forms, we have been linking via a remote URL to a web form (created in FrontPage) to collect feedback through email. The form is no longer working in JavaHelp. The page loads in the JavaHelp window, but it never goes anywhere. When you click submit, the form resets and nothing is received in email. The form works fine when linked on the web or in WebHelp.
    I've tried a removing the link and reinserting, changing the recipient, the confirmation page, but no luck. Any suggestions? Other than switching to something other than JavaHelp -- 'fraid I've got no control over that decision

    Hi there
    I suppose JavaHelp is incapable of opening just a plain ole Web Page in a new window? That sounds like all you really need to achieve here.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Is it possible to see who has saved progress on a web form, but not submitted?

    We are using FormsCentral for our application process, and we are allowing applicants to save forms. Is it possible to see who has started a web form, and saved it, but hasn't submitted yet? Maybe by cc'ing the email notificiation they get to an admin?
    We'd like to see who is working on the applications, and also to send them a reminder that they need to complete and submit the form by the deadline.

    Hi;
    No, there isn't a way for you to see anything about who has saved progress.
    Thanks,
    Josh

  • How do I use the vector web forms??

    I'm new to using vector graphics and need to know how to go about using these web forms using Illistrator to make it functional on a web site. I tried opening it with the Illustrator, Fireworks, but not sure how to get the white fields to actually work like a text field. Hotpot will only link to another page which I don't want. I want the user to be able to enter their email address or whatever info is required then be able  to submit. Please help!

    That graphic is for making a wireframe/design. It cannot offer any real form functionality.
    To create a form with that appearance, you will need to wrestle with HTML, CSS, and your choice of scripting languages to process the input.

  • How do I create a dependant drop down in a web form?

    I am trying to add a web form to a web page that includes a dependant drop down menu. For example, I'd like there to be a drop down menu called "Interested Class" with three fields: "Tribe Fit", "Tribe Life" and "Tribe Core". When a user selects one of these fields ("Tribe Fit" for example), I want a new drop down menu to appear with the following choices: "7:00am", "12:30pm", "7:00pm".
    I have attempted this here and as you can see it's not working at the moment. The time drop down fields should be hidden until an "Interested Class" has been selected.
    http://www.cityfitness.com.au/nicole-form-test?Preview=True
    I've placed my JS code in the HTML view of the actual web page as I noticed when I place it in the actual custom form it doesn't carry through to the page. I don't know if I'm placing my JS in the correct place though.

    <tr>
                            <td><label for="CAT_Custom_328771">Interested Class</label><br />

    Can anyone please help explain to me how I can make this work? I am only a JS beginner - so please try to explain in simple terms if possible.
    Thank you!
    Nicole

    This wont work, Needs to be a lot more then this and CSS to hide things rather then script hiding them.
    Nicole, The times that are availible I gather differ depending on the type of the dropdown?
    You do not need multiple time dropdowns.
    Steps you need to do first on the form:
    1. Ensure the custom form field dropdown for interested class exists.
    2. Have custom dropdown with all the times that any of them can be. This is CSS hidden by default.
    3. Also CSS hide all the options in the select as well in your CSS.
    Next can you show what classes have what times as an example then can put the code more relevent to your example you can work off.
    The code will follow along the lines of....
    Dropdown On Change
              If selected options is xxx class then
              fade in option times  dropdown 
              Show these otpion times
            if selected option is zzz class then
              fade in option times dropdown
                   show these times
    More control as you need to work properly, only two dropdowns needed.

  • How do I access my Web Form Keychain password?

    Hello!
    I lost the original email containing my password from a web site months ago and need to access the password in the Keychain WEB FORM file.
    I dont' need to CHANGE it, I need to see the old one so I can log into the web site again since they changed the site, and the login page is now different with a new URL etc....so the autofill doesn't work.
    I'm in Keychain access and I see the event but how do I edit the form so I can see my password?
    It's my computer, this shouldn't be so hard to do.
    thanks

    Hey Kappy
    thanks.
    I jsut found out how to do it.
    When I double clicked on the Keychain item, there was a checkbox I didn't see before " show password" I clicked it then entered my system password then it showed it.
    thanks!

  • I have imported a PDF form (created in adobe acrobat XI pro) into FormsCentral.  I now want to convert this document into a web form so I can embed it into my website.  HOW DO I DO THIS?

    I took a word document I had created and added fields to it in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro.  I then imported the PDF in Forms Central and now I am stuck.  All I am able to do with it in FormsCentral is add a submit button.  It will not allow me to edit the document in FormsCentral.  What I ultimately need to do is get this converted to a web form so that I can embed it into our company website.  Additionally, once it's converted, I need to add an option for the user to attach their resume with the file before submitting.  I have looked all over the web and I cannot find an answer as to whether or not I can convert PDFs to web forms in FormsCentral.  This will ultimately determine whether or not the company decides to purchase these programs after the trial version has ended in a few days.

    I tried that first, but FormsCentral does not have the capability to create tables.  The form I need to create is more advanced than what FormsCentral allows.  Do you know if there is a way to create or somehow import a table when creating a web based form on FormsCentral?

  • Web Form - takes extra time to render scroll-bar

    Hi,
    11.1.2.0.83
    When we open a webform that is relatively small in scale it takes ~ 4-6 seconds to come back from the 'hourglass' but then leaves the user waiting for upto a minute before the scrollbar appears at the side of the rendered web form (which appears after the initial period) and you can actually take any action.
    Smartview does not have this same delay on the same form, and when I monitor server / client activity on both sides it seems to be minimal impact on cpu / memory.
    We are on IE7, though some clients are IE8.
    Has anyone else seen this - is it a known issue - are there any fixes?
    thanks,
    Robert.

    Hi,
    I think both Planning and Essbase are done sending the required data/metadata to client and from that point on it's up to the client to generate the form. Like you are suggesting, although you see the form with cells and numbers, it takes time to generate the scroll bars (i.e. complete the form generation). My hunch is that this could be related to a security setting or an antivirus setting that could be slowing down the java script. Essentially, it's a hefty java script that generates the form and in some cases (such as with McAfee) there are certain settings to enable scanning java scripts on web pages before running them. You can make sure by tracking the process in task manager on the client when opening the form. If this is the case, disabling this option might improve the performance.
    Cheers,
    Alp

  • Time to open Web forms too long for the first connexion !!

    Hi
    When we first open a web form in the day, the time to open it, is greater than 10 minuts ( the CPU time used to retrieve the webform is measured at about 20 seconds)
    When we do open the webform a second time it takes about 20 seconds to open it!!
    Have someone meet this case?
    What do we have to change in order to enhance the openning duration of the webforms?
    Thanks

    Edited by: RYAG on 26 avr. 2010 14:56

    Does it take 10 minutes to open on the server, if it takes 10 minutes on the server and only 20 seconds of that is CPU processing then are you saying for over 9 minutes it is rendering the form in your browser, you can check the browser process on the machine.
    If you do want to check or increase the maximum heap size then have a read of :- Re: Heap sizes with Planning11.1.1.3 & Weblogic help
    I would also check how much memory the JVM is using when opening the form, you can check using task manager on the server or better still use something like process explorer.

  • My web form is not working with PayPal

    Only seamless gateways such as the "Pro" version of PayPal, eWay or Authorize.net will work with form payments. Gateways that have the user leave BC, such as PayPal Standard, Google Checkout or Realex, only work with the online store.

    I did further testing:
    1. I turned off the IPN and I still received the Error page.
    2. Than I went and turned off the Payment Data Transfer, and now I got the blank page... /PaymentProcess.aspx?paypal=success. However, I still got the paypal transaction ID attached to the orders.
    3. I turned on the IPN and still got the blank  /PaymentProcess.aspx?paypal=success and I still got the paypal transaction ID attached to the orders.So the conclusion is that IPN has no bearing on payments made with PayPal Standard when it is used with custom forms.
    4. I chaged the URL in the Return URL to go to the secure home page instea of to /PaymentProcess.aspx. and...it still sent me to the PaymentProcess.aspx and I still got the paypal transaction ID attached to the orders.
    5. I made the purchase using shoping cart to ensure it works too and this time I even received the receipt on the /PaymentProcess.aspx. The Ref# and Auth Code were "Not Applicable" but it still worked and it was recorded in the orders with the paypal transaction ID
    So my conclusions are:
    1. IPN has no bearing on PayPal payments made from the custom web form
    2. Payment Data Transfer being on sends to the pafe that can't be processesd and it renders Error message
    3. Return URL always send you to the PaymentProcess/aspx regardless what secure url you put in there.
    4. Transcation ID is always passed to the orders as long as it can connect to PayPal. I guess ur will do it as long as the Payment Gateway has the proper informration in there.
    5. It works the same from the custom web form and from checkout form.
    I hope this sheds some light and serves some purpose to whoever is completely confused by this as I am.
    Mario and Liam, thanks for your help. Much appreciated.
