Open a form from Find Form

Hi,
I am developing a new form using 6i Forms. The requirement is to first have a Find form and then when we click on 'Find', it should open the main form.
I have developed both the forms. But my question is, where do we explicitly define that it should open the 'Find' form when we click the menu.
This form is developed in Oracle Apps 11.5.10.
Let me know
Thanks
Reddy

The standard Find or Search feature you are referring to is a feature of the Oracle Enterprise Business Suite (EBS) and not a standard feature of Oracle Forms. I recommend you consult the Oracle Applications Developer's Guide for 11.5.10 in the (Oracle Applications Documentation library).
If you still have questions at this point, I recommend you post your question in the General EBS Discussion forum.

How to open a page from a Form and pass parameters to the form on that page

I found a similar example on this forum, but it did not work for me:
declare
l_names owa.vc_arr;
l_values owa.vc_arr;
i number;
begin
PORTAL.wwpro_api_parameters.retrieve(l_names, l_values);
FOR i in 1..l_names.count
LOOP
htp.p(l_names(i) || ' ' || l_values(i));
END LOOP;
end;
By using this method i get the parameters for the Form, like the session ID, but not the parameters for the Page that the form is displayed in.
Another method I tried:
To open a Form from a Form and pass parameters works fine like this:
--In the After processing page PL/SQL event.
declare
v_id number;
blk varchar2(10):='DEFAULT';
Begin
v_id:=p_session.get_value_as_number (p_block_name=>blk,p_attribute_name=>'A_ID');
if v_id > 0 then
htp.formOpen('PORTAL.wwa_app_module.link?p_arg_names=_moduleid&p_arg_values=2649500412&p_arg_names=_show_header&p_arg_values=YES&p_arg_names=ID&p_arg_values='||to_char(v_id),'post');
htp.formSubmit(NULL,'Upload Files');
htp.formClose;
end if;
End;
But I want to open a Page containing the Form instead of just opening the Form. Is this possible to open a Page and pass paramters to the page, and then let the form inside the Page access the passed paramters. The reason for this is that a Form cannot be based on a page template, or can it? When opening the form i want to keep the left menu, which I can if it is a page based on my template with the left menu.
Best regards
Halvor

Hi,
You can do this by calling the url of the page with the form. You can then use p_arg_names and p_arg_values to pass parameters. In the called form you can get the value from p_arg_names and p_arg_values and assign it to the form field.
You can call this code in the success procedure of the calling form.
declare
v_id number;
blk varchar2(10):='DEFAULT';
v_url varchar2(2000);
Begin
v_id:=p_session.get_value_as_number (p_block_name=>blk,p_attribute_name=>'A_ID');
v_url := <page_url>;
if v_id > 0 then
call(v_url||'&p_arg_names=id&p_arg_values='||v_id);
end if;
End;
In the called form in "Before displaying form" plsql section write this code.
for i in 1..p_arg_names.count loop
if p_arg_names(i) = 'id' then
p_session.set_value(
p_block_name => blk,
p_attribute_name => 'A_ID',
p_value => p_arg_values(i)
end if;
end loop;
This code picks up the value from p_arg_values and assigns it to the form field.
Hope that helps.
Thanks,
Sharmila

Frm-92101 happens when I open a form from another form and close it.

Frm-92101 happens when I open a form from another form, check something, show a message to the user and exit the form to the previous form.
Forms version: 10.1.2.0.2. Java: 1.6.0_23. Browser: IE6
When I put before the "EXIT_FORM" two messages, everything is fine and the second form is closed and I repeat to the first form just as I wanted.
In forms 9.0 it didn't happen.
Does it have a connection with the fact I use JRE instead of JInitiator?
Thank you.

>
There are numerous causes of the FRM-92101 error. I recommend you start your investigation by tracing your Forms session so you can see what your form is doing when the error occurs. Check out My Oracle Support document How to Use Forms Trace with Forms [ID 209372.1] for information on how to enable the trace. Also, take a look at My Oracle Support document Known Causes of FRM-92101 Error In Forms [ID 604633.1].
Hope this helps,

I have just found that there is a "Synchronize" command in one of the main attached libraries, and when I comment that command the application works well. But I don't want to comment it because it's a great library and I assume it has a part in the system.
I have discovered that in the new Forms' help, the fact that the System.Current_Item mustn't be null so the command "Synchronize" will work, is mentioned. In the old Forms' help, that fact is not mentioned.
So I tried to put it inside a condition that checks if the current item is not null, but the compiler doesn't recognize the "current_item". I don't know why. Because it's a library? So how can I check this? I can sent it as a parameter, but I don't want. Do you know something about it? Thank you.

How to access objects in the Child Form from Parent form.

I have a requirement in which I have to first open a Child Form from a Parent Form. Then I want to access objects in the Child Form from Parent form. For example, I want to insert a record into a block present in Child Form by executing statements from a trigger present in Parent Form.
I cannot use object groups since I cannot write code into Child Form to first create object groups into Child Form.
I have tried to achieved it using the following (working of my testcase) :
1) Created two new Forms TESTFORM1.fmb (parent) and TESTFORM2.fmb (child).
2) Created a block named BLK1 manually in TESTFORM1.
3) Created two items in BLK1:
1.PJC1 which is a text item.
2.OPEN which is a push button.
4) Created a new block using data block wizard for a table EMPLOYEE_S1. Created items corresponding to all columns present in EMPLOYEE_S1 table.
5) In WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE trigger of TESTFORM1 set the first navigation block to BLK1. In BLK1 first navigable item is PJC1.
6) In WHEN-NEW-ITEM-INSTANCE of PJC1, code has been written to automatically execute the WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger for the "Open" button.
7) In WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger of OPEN item, TESTFORM2 is opened using the following statement :
open_form(‘TESTFORM2',no_activate,no_session,SHARE_LIBRARY_DATA);
Since its NO_ACTIVATE, the code flows without giving handle to TESTFORM2.
8) After invoking OPEN_FORM, a GO_FORM(‘TESTFORM2’) is now called to set the focus to TESTFORM2
PROBLEM AT HAND
===============
After Step 8, I notice that it passes the focus to TESTFORM2, and statements after go_form (in Parent Form trigger) doesnot executes.
I need go_form with no_activate, similar to open_form.
Edited by: harishgupt on Oct 12, 2008 11:32 PM

isn't it easier to find a solution without a second form? If you have a second window, then you can navigate and code whatever you want.
If you must use a second form, then you can handle this with WHEN-WINDOW-ACTIVATED and meta-data, which you have to store in global variables... ( I can give you hints if the one-form-solution is no option for you )

Query a second form from another form by passing value

Hi,
I have two forms. I am trying to query a second form from another form. I have managed to display the query results in the second form by passing value from the first form. I did it according to the details in the Oracle 9ias Portal Technical FAQ html file.
It works fine when there is already a row in the first form. When I insert a new row in the first form and query the second form which has key from the first form, there is no matching rows displayed which is correct but detail action mode is 'NONE' for all detail rows.
According to the FAQ, it says the following:-
"When the called form is started, it executes a query with the supplied condition (in this case, "where deptno=10"). If the query is successful, the matching rows are displayed in Update mode. If no matching rows are found, the form starts in Insert mode."
It does not happen for me. I get NONE mode for no matching rows. Is this a BUG ? I am working on Portal version 3.0.9.8.0.
Is there something wrong in the code I wrote ? I would like to have all the detail mode as Insert.
Here is the following code I wrote on SUCCESSFUL SUBMISSION OF THE FORM.
declare
my_url varchar2(1000);
v_deptno number;
begin
v_deptno := p_session.get_value_as_NUMBER(p_block_name => 'DEFAULT', p_attribute_name => 'A_DEPTNO');
my_url := 'PORTAL30.wwa_app_module.link?p_arg_names=_moduleid&p_arg_values=1268491962&p_arg_names=_show_header&p_arg_values=YES&p_arg_names=deptno&p_arg_values='||LTRIM(TO_CHAR(v_deptno))||'&p_arg_names=_deptno_cond&p_arg_values=%3D';
go(my_url);
end;

Hi,
The behaviour is OK as in the MD form there are two states "Save" and "Query and Save" and when the form is in "Query and Save" mode that means you can use it for both Query aswell as Save which is decided by your "Master action" if that is None it is used for Query , for Insert you will have to select Insert ,this is the Insert Mode behavior.
If you open a new MD form that is also in the "Query and Save" the same behaviour will be there.
Hope this answers your query.

Error while calling a form from another form's menu item

I created a main form and menu module for this form.
I am calling another form from main form menu item.
i moved both the forms and menu and compiled them.
But, when i run this form i am getting an error saying
FRM 92100: Your connection to the server was interrupted
This may be the result of a network error, or a failure on the server.
You will need to establish your session.
I set the seperateframe = true
networkentries = 30
But still getting the same error.
Is there any parameter that i am missing.
I will greatly appreciate if anybody can direct me to the solution.
Thank you.

How can I embed an DOCTYPE HTML Form from Adobe Forms central into a responsive html5 page?

How can I embed an DOCTYPE HTML Form from Adobe Forms central into a responsive html5 page?
-Luis

Hi,
You can embed the form on your website, but you need to make sure that javascript has been enabled in the browser. You need to copy the embed code and add it into your HTML code. If you would like FormsCentral to generate embeded HTML form without using javascript, you may post a feature request and vote it. Hope it helps! Thanks!

How to refer the trigger written in one form from another form ?

How to refer the trigger written in one form from another form ?
Thanks,
Ravi Shankar

Try to convert the PL/SQL code from Forms trigger into a PL/SQL library(.PLL),
and then attach that PLL in your forms.
Note that all Forms objects should be referenced indirectly, for example,
you have to rewrite
:B1.DEPT_CODE := :B2.DEPT_CODE;
:B3.TOTAL_AMOUNT := 100;
==>
copy('B2.DEPT_NO','B1.DEPT_NO');
copy('100','B3.TOTAL_AMOUNT');
This is the best way to share PL/SQL code among Oracle Forms.

How to open .cmdrw file from Oracle Forms 10g

Hi,
We need to call *.cmdrw* file from Oracle forms 10g. Is there any way to call *.cmdrw* file from Oracle forms 10g?
Thanks for the help.
Viishnu Nekkanti

In case you want to open a .cmdrw with its associated application you can use the following procedure:
webutil_host.NonBlocking( 'rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler ' || client_filename );This works for every file where a program has been associated to its file extension. (Adobe Reader for *.pdf, Microsoft Word for *.doc, Microsoft Excel for *.xls and so on)

"Calling" a Form from a Form

Good Afternoon
Experts:
I have been given another task that I have yet to experience. I need to call/display a screen after clicking on a button. So, I will have my class/XML file set-up like "normal" for when I would display it from a menu selection like I have been doing. Is there an information on how I can call this screen/form when clicking on a button instead of a menu selection?
Thanks for the help,

Urgent:Error While calling one form from another form

Hi,
i am using a form in which zoom functionality is enabled.From this form if i am clicking view->zoom it should open another form which should accept two parameters from the first form.But whenever i am clicking on zoom its giving the following error.
FRM-47023:No such parameter named G_QUERY_FIND exists in form
XX_EMPLOYEE_CONVERSION(Name of the form which i am calling from first form)
When i am clicking 'ok' then it shows the error
FRM-40105:Unable to resolve reference to item PARAMETER.G_QUERY_FIND
Eventhough i have developed my form using template.fmb which uses the parameter G_QUERY_FIND why this error is coming?
Can anyone suggest a solution for this.
Thanks in advance

PARAMETER.G_QUERY_FIND is one of he objects in the APPSTAND.fmb. You will need to Subclass all of the objects in APPSTAND.fmb in your custom form. If you do not have a copy of this file in your FORMS60_PATH, I suggest you put a copy there. If you don't have a FORMS60_PATH specified then I would highly suggest adding this entry to your Forms Home in the Registry. Also, you will want all of the libraries in the AU_TOP/Resources folder as well.
I also suggest looking at the Oracle Applications Developer's Guide (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25284_01/current/acrobat/115devg.pdf) as it outlines all of the required objects you must have in your form and reports.
Hope this helps.

Show one form from another form by button pressed

I am a new learner. I am using developer but facing a problem when I used a button to show an another form.
my button is 'Order' in the form cust_info and I want to show ORDERS form by pressing 'Order' button and my pl/sql against this 'Order' button is:
BEGIN
OPEN_FORM('ORDERS', no_hide, no_replace, query_only);
END;
Showing Error: Can't read form ORDERS
pls give me a solution.

Hi, Ashraf:
You can learn a lot about Forms in online help, which you access by choosing Help > Online Help from the Forms Builder menu. There is an Oracle University class on basic Forms, called Oracle Forms Developer 10g: Build Internet Applications. There are also some excellent books on Oracle Forms. The Forms page on OTN is very helpful as well (http://otn.oracle.com/products/forms).
When you create a record group, you can specify a query statement for it, so that's where you enter the SELECT statement.
So if you create a record group named, for example, MY_GROUP, and if your combo list item is named DEPT_ID, then in the trigger where you want to populate the combo list (probably a When-New-Form-Instance) you would use the code:
DECLARE
    GROUP_ID RECORDGROUP;
    QUERY_OK NUMBER;
BEGIN
    GROUP_ID := FIND_GROUP('MY_GROUP');
    QUERY_OK := POPULATE_GROUP(GROUP_ID);
    CLEAR_LIST('DEPT_ID');
    POPULATE_LIST('DEPT_ID', GROUP_ID);
END;
I hope this helps. As Manu said, please read about Forums etiquette. It's important to just put one problem in each posting so that people who are looking for help on a particular topic can easily find it, and so that those who have expertise in a particular topic will read your post and be more likely to help you.

Pam
