Open/Close form from Menu

I am having a frustrating problem! I am trying to set up a menu that will open a form ('Open_Form('myform')) and close the current form. Opening the new form is no problem, but I can't seem to find the code to close the first form. This can't be that difficult! Can anyone help?
Thanks

Use new_form built-in.

  • 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].

    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.

  • Opening oracle form from workflow notification asks for responsibility.

    Hello All,
    I am trying to open serach service request form from workflow notification.
    For that I have added below.
    1) created Form type of WF attribute and attached it to message. Value of this attribute is
    CSXSRISV:REQUEST_ID=&REQUEST_ID.
    2) So the link apears in the notification but when I form session opens it brings up the responsibility selection screen, If I select Customer Support resp and click on OK, service request get queried properly.
    So everthing is working fine, only issue is when oracle form opens it asks for the responsibility to select from selection screen.
    How can I remove this responsibility selection screen?
    Do I need to pass any parameter or something like that?

    Thanks for the reply.
    I have added CSXSRISV function i.e Find Service Request to the appropriate menu which is attached to the responsibility and opened the form from newly sent notification. Still no luck. Still it is asking me for resp to choose.
    Can you suggest me any other workaround?
    How to see whether workflow worklist is available to customer support resp?

  • On my Mac, when I attempt to open a form from a web site, the Reader does not open. It used to.

    On my Mac os 10.6.8, when I attempt to open a form from a web site, the Reader (10.1.2) does not automatically open as it used to.  What can I do to correct this problem?

    It sounds like your file associations are messed up and Reader is trying to open your .jpg files. Is this correct?
    If so, you just need to change the associations to choose what application opens them. Here's how: Change File Associations in Mac OS X

  • Open a form from a 3rd party Java/Web based application

    Hi All,
    I am working for a client who has a 3rd party web application built in Java.
    For one of his requirements, he wants to open a form, an apps standard form on the click of a button/url in their application.
    This appears like a normal form opening from the single-signon screen where you have the self service single sign-on page, it opens the apps forms on click of the url. Can we use the same logic here? This being the case, just curious to know how is the url to open the form built? (I see that the function name, resp id etc are there in the url) So that, I can actually manipulate the url to open the forms from a url. Please see that the custom application also is included into our Oracle apps, so the user is already logged in. We just need to open the form from the click of a url/button.
    Thanks,
    Srini.
    Thanks,
    Srini.

    If the ICX_SESSION is already available then the form(I am assuming you are refering to a web based form here) should open directly if the function should be accessible to the user logged in. When you say your custom application is included in Oracle apps are you launching these pages from the Ebiz home page through menus and functions ?

  • Opening composite form from workspace in SmartView (global dimensions prob)

    There is a composite form consists of 2 sections, 1 form in the upper and 3 in the lower part, 3 global dimensions, 1 section dimension for lower section. If i change some global dimensions a form itself is changed properly, all simple forms change their point of view (pages dimension), but when i open this form using "Open in SmartView" feature from Hyperion interface changes of global dimensions are not applied to simple form EXCEPT upper form and active form in lower section. I'd like to note that changes of section dimension are applied properly for all simple form of whole section.
    Also when i'm trying to change some page dimension in opened form in smartview my excel simply crashes
    Could anybody share an advice how to fix it or if it is fixable at least?

    Dimensions in composite forms are global, in simple form they all are the same, so global dimensions are set properly. The problem is exactly in opening composite form FROM Web-interface HP into SmartView, for example if global dimension is set to October, and i open this in SmartView i would see October only on form, which were active at the moment of opening.
    For example, 1 form upper setion, 3 froms lower section, ilvl0Descendnats(YearTotal) is global, i open form in web-interface, switch to 2nd form in lower section and change point of view to October, open in SmartView, 4 sheets are opened in excel, october would be set properly on a sheet with form from upper section and 2nd form from lower section, two other form from lower section would be have January set. Hope it's clear now.
    The trouble is not in form settings but in "Open in SmartView" feature

  • How can another persion able to open my forms from another browser

    Dear all
    I am working on forms 10G.
    I have developed a forms and i want another person can able to open my forms from his PC.
    How can i do it ?

    Sandy,
    Oracle Forms 9i and higher are web deployed only. Meaning, for someone else to be able to run your form you will need to deploy your form to the web using an Application Server. The last version of Oracle Forms to support Client/Server mode was Forms 6i. The typical Oracle Forms web deployed environment includes the following:
    <ul>
    <li>Infrastructure Server
    <li>Application Server with Oracle Forms Services
    <li>Database Server
    </ul>
    All of these "Servers" could reside on a single physical computer; they do not have to each be seperate computers. The person you want to have access to your Forms application would need to have access to the application server either through a private network or through the internet.
    Hope this helps,

  • OPEN/CLOSE FORMS ???

    HI,
    I have one form say A
    from which i am calling many forms
    say A1,A2,A3... using OPEN_FORM Built In and
    on A1,A2,A3 forms there is a exit button
    for exiting the same form.
    In the same way i want to close ALL
    open forms when i press a button logout/exit on
    the main form i.e form A .
    In this application i given the provision
    user can switch from one form to another
    so that he can open/close any form at any time.
    All i need is to close ALL form at a time
    only when he press exit at the MAIN form A.
    Any ideas/suggestion?
    Early reply is appreciated.

    1) F4 or Alt-F4 ?
    Alt-F4 is the KEY-EXIT like CTRL-Q. Use this trigger for closing the other forms.
    In your button you can easily write
    do_key ('exit_form');
    =============================================
    2) the :global.Auto_Close is easy
    main_form:
    KEY-EXIT )
    :global.Auto_Close := 'TRUE';
    go_form ('A');
    global.Auto_Close := 'FALSE';
    exit_form;
    form A:
    WHEN-FORM-NAVIGATE )
    DEFAULT_VALUE (NULL, 'global.Auto_Close');
    IF :global.Auto_Close = 'TRUE' THEN
    exit_form;
    END IF;
    =============================================
    3) if main.fmb is your start-form and you open_form A and there you call_form AA - then you have the problem, that you first have to close AA, before you close A
    I thought you work only with open_form instead of call_form
    try it

  • Opening system forms without menu

    Hi All,
    Does there exist code to open a system form, like the Production Order, without activating the menu item that calls it?  For example, I would like to open a production order form with a given instance?  The reason for this is that I need to open the form and then load it with a specific production order.  Because it is possible for there to be any number of production order forms open simultaneously at any given time, I need to know the exact form I had just opened in order to load it.
    Is this possible?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Hi Mike,
    it's possible, I guess.
    But you have to the actual operation of opening form and finding production order by addon.
    You can use 'activate menuitem' clause, first.
    then you should enter the number of the production order which you want to open to the order number field in number field. (you can do it via handling UI items.) then use the 'click' method of the item number "1". it's generally possible. I did it sometimes.
    Hope this useful for you.

  • Web Forms - Opening a form from a URL in an Email

    Hi. I use the following URL to call an Oracle Web Form from an e-mail (Lotus Notes client e-mail on Windows XP). This works fine as is, but it is not forcing the Web Form to open in Internet Explorer. On some user's PCs it opens in FireFox - I believe this might be because Firefox has been set as their default browser. Is there anything I can add to this URL that will force it to open in Internet Explorer?
    <u><a href="http://9.35.32.205:7777/forms/frmservlet?config=TTMSMENU&form=dropper_em&otherparams=p_dropper='||PPARAMETER||'">Dropper Id: '||PPARAMETER||'</a></u>Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Another option might be JavaScript:
    http://www.tutorial5.com/content/view/51/45/
    I'm sure this won't work with every JavaScript engine...
    Question is: why do you want to force your users to use Internet Explorer? My default browser is Firefox too, and I have to say I'd be pretty pissed if you'd force me to use Internet Explorer ;).
    If you are having troubles configuring the JPI under Firefox you might want to read this:

  • 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.
