OPEN API

Please tell what is Oracle Open API, what 's the differences between Open API and OCI? If you could introduce some materials on web, it would be great.

Hi,
I recommend getting in touch with the tools vendor or to follow his setup instructions. If teh tool e.g. is created for an older version of Forms, then maybe an update of the tool is required.

font color=red Create/Modify forms and triggers through C++ using OPEN API


Dear brothers/sisters
 
Please help us to find the linking problem.
 
We have to add PRE-FORM trigger to many FMBies. We have thousants of FMBies. So opening one by one is difficult. For this we are using OPEN API and BORLAND C++. We have coppied all header files from D:\orant\FORMS60\API.
But there is a link error. Here is the snippet.
 

 #include <stdio.h>
 #include <stdlib.h>
 #include <malloc.h>
 #include <d2fctx.h> /* Forms API context */
 #include <d2ffmd.h> /* Form module header file */
 int main (int argc, char *argv[])
 {
 d2fctxa ctx_attr;
 d2fctx *ctx;
 d2ffmd *form;
 text *form_name;
 /* Check arguments */
 if ( argc != 2 )
 {
 fprintf(stderr, "USAGE: %s <filename>\n", argv[0]);
 exit(1);
 }
 /* Create Forms API context */
 ctx_attr.mask_d2fctxa = (ub4)0;
 if ( d2fctxcr_Create(&ctx, &ctx_attr) != D2FS_SUCCESS )

Creating Modules using Open API

Hi,
I am trying to create Form module using Open API.
What I would like to know is :-
1. How to link the source file (c++) against the Open
API library (f60d2f32.lib).
The c++ source file, Does it have to be .c extension ?
2. Compile the files to create an executable.
Anyone got any idea or can point to URL where I can get more info.
Thanks - Appreciate your help.

This really needs to go to one of the Developer (FOrms/Reports) forums, but any interface to Forms/Reports/Etc. will need to be compiled and linked as 'C', not 'C++'.

Open API App (Windows based) fails to open FMB on Unix file system

My Open API, Windows based app, can successfully open and 'get' properties of FMBs stored in the Windows file system. However, it fails to load the FMB when the FMB resides on a networked Unix server. The same FMBs on Unix can be opened by the Windows based FormBuilder (over the network). I can copy the FMB down to Windows and without re-compiling the FMB, my Open API app can 'load' the FMB and 'get' all the properties. What suggestions can you give for debugging / resolving this? I need to be able to 'Load' the FMBs (through the Open API), that reside in the Unix file system, from Windows.

Generally, this is why we will tell you that accessing net shares is not supported and in places where it might even be supported, we would still suggest that it is not recommended. Accessing via net shares (especially through Windows) is often problematic. There are various performance and connectivity issues that, unfortunately fool you into believing that the product you are using is flawed when the problem is really a connection issue with the share.
In your case, because you are not exactly using an Oracle product (initially), Oracle can't offer much anyway, but I would recommend against using shares whenever possible. If you need to access a file, copy it locally first, perform whatever task on it, then return the updated file to its origin. This method protects you from things like net failure and instability as well as the performance issues associated with accessing files remotely.

Open api fails when trying to open disk /dev/disk0s1 /dev/disk0s2

hi,
open api fails when trying to open disk /dev/rdisk0s1 /dev/rdisk0s2.
/dev/disk0s1 has efi and /dev/disk0s2 has hfs as volume type.
It gives me permission denied error.
then how can i open this disk?

Hi Dave,
We discuss SQL Server data access related issue in this forum. In your case, it mightbe more
appropriate to discuss this issue in the forum below:

Forms 5 Open API Problem

How can the displayed text of an existing Graphics Text
(Boilerplate) be modified with Open API functions?
All(?) properties of all Forms objects can be modified with
function calls similar to the calls in the example below. Just
this one seems impossible.
(See Forms builder help topic "Open API, creating module")
Code fragment:
/* create a Graphics Object */
status = d2fgracr_Create( pd2fctx , pd2fcnv,
&pd2fgra, (text*) "MYTEXT" );
/* set Graphics type to TEXT */
status = d2fgras_graphics_typ(pd2fctx,pd2fgra,D2FC_GRTY_TEXT);
/* set displayed text to "TEXT1" */
status = d2fgras_gra_text(pd2fctx,pd2fgra,(text*) "TEXT1");
/* Modify "TEXT1" to "TEXT2" */
status = d2fgras_gra_text(pd2fctx,pd2fgra,(text*) "TEXT2");
/* Check value; ought to be "TEXT2" */
status = d2fgrag_gra_text(pd2fctx,pd2fgra,&tex);
printf("%s",tex); /* prints TEXT1 !!!????*/
null

I checked PATH environment variable and it already contains path having Forms DLLs in it.
After that I deinstalled Oracle 9 database from computer and tried again to start my program.
Now it works but I don't know why it was having trouble creating context with d2fctxcr_Create when database was installed on computer.
Anyway, I might need database in the future so I would like that it coexists peacefully on my computer with Oracle Designer. How can I achieve that? Tnx in advance.

OPEN API: What do I have to do to create program units?

What do I have to do to create program units? Which properties do I have to set?
I have tried the following code, but it haven't
worked. Could anybody post the example how do that.
I use Forms 6.0 Client/Server, Windows 2000.
Here is my code:
// I believe, the OPEN API is loaded and
// form is created correctly.
// pd2fctx is an open api context; pd2ffmd is a form
char *pu_name="TEST";
char *pu_text="CREATE PACKAGE TEST IS\n"
"PROCEDURE PROC1;\n"
"END;";
d2fpgu *obj=0;
status=d2fpgucr_Create( pd2fctx, pd2ffmd, &obj, (text*)pu_name );
CheckError( status, "d2fpgucr_Create fails" );
// These lines don't set the property values, I don't know why :(
int status=d2fobsn_SetNumProp( pd2fctx, obj, D2FP_PGU_TYP, D2FC_PGTY_PACKAGESPEC );
CheckError( status, "d2fobsn_SetNumProp fails" );
status=d2fobst_SetTextProp( pd2fctx, obj, D2FP_PGU_TXT, (text*)pu_text );
CheckError( status, "d2fobst_SetTextProp fails" );
// It shows this mistake.
status=d2fobgn_GetNumProp( pd2fctx, obj, D2FP_PGU_TYP, & obj_type );
status=d2fobgt_GetTextProp( pd2fctx, obj, D2FP_NAME, (text **)& obj_name );
status=d2fobgt_GetTextProp( pd2fctx, obj, D2FP_PGU_TXT, (text **)& obj_txt );
printf("D2FP_NAME=%s\nD2FP_PGU_TYP=%i\nD2FP_PGU_TXT=%s\n", obj_name, obj_type, obj_txt );
// The result of execution of these lines is:
// D2FP_NAME=TEST
// D2FP_PGU_TYP=0
// D2FP_PGU_TXT=(null)

System Preferences > Keyboard
Enable "Adjust keyboard brightness in low light"
Adjust the slider for "Turn off when computer is not used for"
Best.

Create lov using open api

i want to create a assistant of lov using open api(code C).
can anyone give me the steps and procedures for do this .

This really needs to go to one of the Developer (FOrms/Reports) forums, but any interface to Forms/Reports/Etc. will need to be compiled and linked as 'C', not 'C++'.

Forms Open API and ActiveX

I need to access the open api and display some of the activex related information stored in our forms. The api header files i have (6i release 2) do not have the required macro d2fitmg_activex_val_prop, which should be in the file D2FITM.H. Nor can I find D2FP_ACTIVEX_VAL_PROP. Both are descibed in the online help, but missing from the headers. I do not whether the .lib file supports it.
Can anyone tell me what I should do? Where I can find the latest API? I downloaded Forms 6i Release 2 only yesterday, but the header files are the same.
Thank you for your time.

This is a bug in the documentation. The property in question is not exposed through the API.
In the builder when you select this property within the Property inspector, the Control then pops up it's own property palette. There is no way we can do that in batch so the property is not exposed.

Open API compile *.c in Windows with gcc

Hello,
Here is my Code I want to compile:
http://rafb.net/p/h0qYEL56.html
my compiler is gcc and I compile it like that:
gcc -WALL -o traverse.exe -c traverse.c -Ic:/orav60/FORMS60/API
he compile my traverse.c with warnings, but the exe is not executable.
please help
Paul

YEAH I got it!
the Solution is
gcc -o traverse.o -c traverse.c -IC:\orav60\FORMS60\API
gcc traverse.o c:/orav60/FORMS60/API/ifd2f60.LIB -o traverse
1. Compile an Objectfile from the c and you get *.o
2. bind the *.o with the c:/orav60/FORMS60/API/ifd2f60.LIB and compile it
greetings
Paul

Open API with Reports

Hi,
I need to write a C program that will load a report, read/write it and then save it. I know that this is possible to do it with Forms modules . But i got some pb with report modules !
I saw that this API is managing some Report Object but this object does not have any method to load or save.
So I think that the Report object of the API is here to be use with reports which are included in a Forms and so the report included is processed in the API as any other object (canevas, block, ...). Am i right ?
Anyway, there must be a solution while the software FormsTool is reading report or forms and can compare them so there must be a way to read into a Report.
I hope you can help me.
I forgot to mention that I work with both Report 2.5 and 6.

No
When i said load, read/write, etc..., i mean manipulate it like i would manipulate a Forms module with the Forms API.
For example, with the Forms API, you can do :
/* Load the form module into memory */
d2ffmdld_Load(ctx, &form, file_name, FALSE);
/* Get the name of the form module */
d2ffmdg_name(ctx, form, &form_name)
/* Print the name of the form, then free it */
printf ("The name of the form is %s\n", form_name);
where form is an object of the API that represent a form.
and there are other method to change the form.
I would like to do the same with a report.
Thanks for your help.

Importing outside of API / Open Interface supported? Partial Workflow ?

Hi there
I've been asked to find out if importing data not using the API or Open API is supported by Oracle?
There is a proposal to import orders into Order Management from a legacy database. Some of these orders may be partially through the workflow chain.
As far as I can see, Oracle doesnt provide an API to import Orders which are part the way through the workflow, so if we were to import them, it would have to be custom code.
I want to know if this is supported or doable (I'm hoping not!)
Thanks
Scott

Is there existing open Java APIs for time dependent ShortestPath function or routing on NDM Model?

According to slides here (Page #44-46), there should be some API for that purpose.
But when I focus on that sample and the open API provided here , I cannot find such function that realize it.
Could someone briefly describe the time dependent SP APIs for that purpose?
Thank you.

API's for email and SMS

Hi,
Does anyone know of there are any API's to open and read SMS and email messages?
Also, are there any API's to do with turning off the audiable alert upon receipt of SMS and emails.
The final API I am interested is one that makes an audiable alert.
Please could anyone throw any light on what I am after.
Many thanks in advance.
Richard Thomas.

Richard,
While still in the specification phase,
look for JSR120 Wireless Messaging API.
This is being done through the JCP Process.
See:
http://www.jcp.org/jsr/detail/120.jsp
Siemens is the Spec Lead, with nearly
every wireless player and Java technology
player in the expert group. This API was
conceived to address the lack of a standard
and open API for SMS Messaging, among other
things.
I don't know the specifics about time tables
for this to become available (either spec,
api, or implementation), but you can bet
that all of the handset makers on this
JSR have implementations ready to go.
Good luck.
David

After upgrading from Prosight V6 to V7.5 we are having issue with API's

Team,
Current version 6 of prosight upgraded to version 7.5. We are having our external webservice consumes Prosight webservice which defaulted installed under ProsightWS virtual directory. After up gradation we are running into issue in external application ,application unable to communicate to Prosight new version webservices. Fails in the time of calling in Login method itself in the psPortfoliossecturiy service.
Exception as follows:
“System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: Could not create Security Token for specified User and Password at ProSight.Portfolios.WebServices.WS.psPortfoliosSecuritySOAP.Login(String sUser, String sPassword, Int32 lTimeOut) “
Our web application uses a dedicated user account to interact with Prosight webservice and it runs under windows authentication. Application build on ASP.NET 2.0 and later.
The sad part here is , our web application running perfectly with Prosight v6. :( I would appreciate if anyone could help us to resolve this issue. This is blocking our up gradation from 6 to higher version of prosight.
Thanks for your valuable time
Regards,
Jithesh

Here is the offical documentation from version 8.0 on the backward-compatability of the APIs. This document comes the version 8 installer. Not sure this helps you with the 7.5 issues, but hoping it will help:
Considerations for applications using the PPM Open API via COM
Applications which use the Primavera Portfolio Management (PPM) Open API via any interface (COM, SOAP/RCP or Document/Literal) and were developed and used with previous versions of PPM will continue to operate without the need for recompilation, as Primavera Portfolio Management 8.0 provides full binary backwards compatibility for all of the Open API interfaces. New functionality is available only to applications that are written to take advantage of such functionality.
Note however that any process can only load and use one version of the Microsoft .NET Framework. Therefore, applications developed with the .NET Framework 1.1 cannot use APIs to communicate with software developed using the .NET Framework 2.0 if this would cause the same process to need to load both versions of the .NET Framework.
This means that if any part of an application that uses the Open API which was developed using .NET Framework 1.1 communicates directly with PPM using the COM API (which is in-process), that part of the application would need to be recompiled to target the .NET Framework 2.0. If on the other hand, the application developed using .NET Framework 1.1, only communicates with PPM using SOAP RPC or Web Services (which are out-of-process) then there is no issue.
Instead of recompiling, it is usually sufficient to ”force” the existing executables to actually use the .NET Framework 2.0 instead of the native version of the .NET Framework for which they were compiled (1.1). This can be achieved by using an application config file with the following content:
<?xml version ="1.0"?>
<configuration>
<startup>
<supportedRuntime version="v2.0.50727" />
</startup>
</configuration>
The application config file can easily be created using Notepad or something similar. It does not need to be compiled in any way. It should be named with the exact same name as the executable file plus the suffix “.config”. For example: if the application executable file is called “Tester1.exe” then the config file must be named “Tester1.exe.config”. It must be placed in the same directory as the executable file.
The config file “forces” the application to use the .NET Framework 2.0, which would mean that even when using COM (in-process) Open API calls to PPM, there would still be only one version of the .NET Framework involved in the process (.NET 2.0).
