Oracle form 10gR2

Hello Friends, I have a request to change database item seq number to left pad it with 0's to 10 order On the formI put the code in when-new-item-instance
:block.Itemname := lpad(:block.itemname,10,0)
and in post query
:block.Itemname := lpad(:block.itemname,10,0)
copy ('block.itemname', 'block.itemname')
but this does not change the display .
Please advice. I only want the display to change not the base item

If the item is a number-item, simply set the formatmask in the property-palette to
FM0000000000

Slow Oracle Forms 10gR2 using Sun's JRE on Windows 7 x64

Hi,
We are running Application Server 10gR2 10.1.2.3 and we've been running Sun's JRE on Windows XP SP3 just fine. It is snappy and with the exception of a couple of minor issues, everything works well.
We are now testing a few new workstations running Windows 7 x64 (64bit) with Sun's JRE again and the performance is just horrible. It is almost unusable. We've tried both 32bit (x86) jre and x64 (64bit) no difference. We also tried Firefox (only comes in 32bit version) and the same problem.
Oddly the problem does not exist on Windows 7 x86 (32bit). Anyone have any ideas or suggestions to get it to behave?
Thanks.
George.

First, I think we need to clarify what is and is not certified for use with 10.1.2.3 so that other readers don't misunderstand what is being discussed.
Forms 10.1.2.3 has been certified to use Windows 7 x64 with IE8 and Sun JRE 1.6.0_16+ (32bit only). Refer to the new Forms 10.1.2 Client Statement of Direction which can be found here:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/forms/clientsod-forms10gr2-088253.html
If you have previously bookmarked the SOD, please update your bookmark as this is a new location.
Second, without knowing at least some details about the app and even how the client machine is used, it will be difficult to offer any specifics. In general, I don't believe that we (Oracle) have had any specific complaints. However, we are currently investigating at least one performance complaint (it may be yours :) ), but so far details are limited so we don't have much to go on.
In order for anyone to understand a performance problem we must first understand exactly what is meant be terms like "degraded", "slow", etc. In the case of this thread, it has been claimed that it takes "2 seconds" to get from field to field. Is this an accurate measurement or an exaggerated guess? We also need to understand the app and the environment. For example:
1. Besides the change in the JRE from one version to another, what else has changed? For example, are more users accessing the server, was the server or Application Server patched, have there been networking changes, has SSL been enabled where it previously was not, etc.
2. Besides the Forms application, are any other java applications running on the client machine when this performance issue is experienced?
3. Are there any fat applications running on the client machine? For example, some virus scanners tend to hog significant levels of resources and degrade performance from other apps. Email client software also tends to be fat and hog resources (I won't mention names here :) ). Disable or terminate fat apps and retest. What is the result?
4. Does the Forms application execute client side java? For example, WebUtil, custom Beans, etc?
5. Is the client machine configured to access mapped drives (either related or not related to the Forms app)?
6. Has JRE tracing or logging been enabled? This setting can be found on the Java Control Panel (Advanced tab). If yes, disable it.
7. Have you tested setting the JRE "..next-generation Java Plug-in" to OFF? This is also on the Advanced tab of the Java Control Panel under "Java Plug-in". Restart the browser will be necessary.
8. On the server, are the application's modules (fmx, mmx, plx, etc) stored locally with the installation of Application Server or are then access via a net drive?

Oracle forms 10g 32bit with Oracle 10g database on windows itanium for x64

Hi.....
Currently we are planning to have this configuration
1. Oracle10g RAC on HP rx6600 with windows itanium for x64 architecture
2. Oracle Application Server (32-bit) on windows 2003 (forms & reports services)
3. Application migrated from 6i to 10g
I have to things to ask about?
1.Will it be ok to connect from an application compiled with _(32-bit)_ 10g forms to a x64_ platform without problems ?
2. Can we connect forms and reports of developer 6i +(32-bit)+ to 10g RAC on x64_ platform if the character set is not UTF8 ?

1.Will it be ok to connect from an application compiled with (32-bit) 10g forms to a x64 platform without problems ?I did this also. A 32bit Oracle Form(10gR2) on Linux and a 64 bit (10gR2) database. And this works without a problem. Since you didn't mentioned your versions I would suggest you look for your combination if it is certified combination.
2. Can we connect forms and reports of developer 6i (32-bit) to 10g RAC on x64 platform if the character set is not UTF8 ?I don't know if the combination is certified. But regarding your character set, you have a character set setting (NLS_LANG, DEVELOPER_LANG, etc.. ) for your developer 6i, your database has it's own character set. Depending on those setting a conversion of the character set will take place between your developer 6i and the database, when you get and put data to the database. But like I said I don't know if developer 6i and 10g is still a supported combination.

Oracle Forms returns the first record in the database when performing query

Once in a while when we query for a record on a form, say by first name Tom, then it returns the first record in the database. Other times it return the Tom's record. It only happens once in a while and if you close the form and reopen it and requery for Tom, then it brings Tom's record.
Does anyone know the issue what could be happening. It just happens every now and then that it's hard to reproduce.
ORacle Forms 10GR2
ORacle Application Server 10.1.3
thanks

then it returns the first record in the databaseI'm not sure if i understand you correctly. Do you mean forms ignores the searc-condition you entered? I would check SYSTEM.LAST_QUERY at the moment this happens to check if the condition gets somehow lost.

Hi!
I need to install Oracle Forms and Reports 10gR2 in a windows server 2008 64 bit machine. But I cannot find the installer of it. Is there a way to do it?
Thanks...

Oracle Forms 6i client/server against an Oracle 10gR2 database

Hello
We have the following situation:
Oracle Forms6i/Reports6i client server application against an Oracle 8i cost-based database. we want to migrate this application
step 1:
Migrate the database to 10gr2, but do not touch the client application
Go live
step 2:
Migrate the development environment to 6i webforms.
Production environment stays client server.
With this construction we can still create new patches/functionality.
step 3:
Migrate to Forms10gR2 (and reports)
I know Forms 6i is not supported anymore.
My question is on step 1.
When I read NOTE: 338513.1 entitled "Is Forms/Reports 6i Certified To Work Against Oracle Server 10g Rel 1, Rel 2 or 11g?" carefully
it says that Forms 6i is not certified against 10gR2.
On OTN I read several posts that this works ok (assuming you do not use the wrong character set).
I also read on OTN that patch 18 (which is only supported for EBS customers) is certified against 10gR2.
The questions:
- Is Oracle Forms patch 18 certified against an Oracle 10gR2 database? (or only for EBS)
- Is there anybody out there that can confirm that Oracle Forms 6i C/S works against Oracle 10gR2
Regards Erik

Thank you.
Now I found it.
But how do I read that page.
It says:
Client Certifications
OS      Product      Server Status
XP      6.0.8.27.0 Patch 18      N/A      Desupported
Application Tier Certifications
OS      Product      Server      Status
XP      6.0.8.27.0 Patch 18      9.2      Desupported
XP      6.0.8.27.0 Patch 18      10g      Desupported
I read this as follows:
Patch 18 was certified agains a 10g database in a webforms environment.
No client server mentioned and Server 10g , so no 10gR2!
I'm I right?

Hi,
I think Reports 6i has the option to create character delimited output, which can be used for Excel imports. In Reports 9i the ability to add a mime type that opens Excel directly was added

Calling web service from oracle forms 10g

Problem Description:
I'm following the steps as per the doc:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/10gr2/howto/webservicefromforms/ws_10_1_3_from_forms.html
to create a java stub to call external web service and then use java importer in oracle forms to call this web service from oracle forms.
WSDL for external web service used is http://gend:83/DesignService.svc?wsdl
The service was developed by us.
Calling the web service using JDeveloper works fine but when I complie in Oracle Forms it returns wrong number of types of arguments in call SENDHELLO.
The code from oracle form to call web service is as below:
DECLARE
jo ora_java.jobject;
xo ora_java.jobject;
rv varchar2(2000);
ex ora_java.jobject;
str varchar2(100);
BEGIN
jo := GendServiceClient.new;
rv := GendServiceClient.sendHello('Nora');
EXCEPTION
WHEN ORA_JAVA.JAVA_ERROR then
message('Unable to call out to Java, ' ||ORA_JAVA.LAST_ERROR);
WHEN ORA_JAVA.EXCEPTION_THROWN then
ex := ORA_JAVA.LAST_EXCEPTION;
message(Exception_.toString(ex));
END;
Any help/ideas on this is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Edited by: KE Nora Loera on Jun 1, 2012 1:24 PM

My primary skill is PL/SQL but the only information I found on Oracle's site to call a web service from a 10g Form was creating a jar file and importing the java class. Since I don't want to ask our corporate IT to make changes on the UNIX box for the jar files I went a different route.
I use UTL_HTTP.BEGIN_REQUEST to call a URL then load I load the data to a table as a CLOB since we have more than 4000 characters. Now I need to parse the XML and load it into a form. I have never done this so if there is a helpful site please let me know. I have looked at several sites but none do what I want.
Thanks

Calling web service from oracle forms fails with ORA_JAVA.JAVA_ERROR

Problem Description:

Yes, it is the message line - so basically this call fails => rv:= CurrencyConvertorStub.ConversionRate(jo,'CAD','USD'); and control goes in the exception block
WHEN ORA_JAVA.JAVA_ERROR then
message('Unable to call out to Java, ' ||ORA_JAVA.LAST_ERROR);
Below is the code from java stub that was generated using JDeveloper by using web services stub/skeleton and associating the WSDL

Is there any way to set a calendar event in MS Outlook from Oracle Forms

I need to set and delete events in MS Outlook from an Oracle Form (version 10gR2).
Is there any way to accomplish this?
Thanks

You will need to use OLE on the client, which would further require the use of WebUtil. Here (below) are a couple of MS examples that you would need to convert to pl/sql. There are a variety of Oracle notes which discuss reading and writing to MS Word and Excel. These can likely be used as a starting place to talk to Outlook. There is a WebUtil demo which includes an example of how to write to MS Word. It can be found on the WebUtil home page:

Forms 4.5 Migration to Oracle Forms 10g

Hi All,
I want to know abt migration steps i.e. i 'm doing migration of Oracle Forms 4.5 to Oracle Forms 10g. Then existing forms is on Windows NT based environment and the database is Oracle 8.
What is the better way to approach this issue? Whether, directly open the existing Forms into Oracle Forms 10g or first open the form into Forms 6i and then after 10g?
Tell me the System Specification.... Database version.... Which Application Server is suitable.... And whether the Oracle 9i database possible for Forms 10g or not.
Pls Give me solution.
Thanks

What is the better way to approach this issue?
Whether, directly open the existing Forms into Oracle
Forms 10g or first open the form into Forms 6i and
then after 10g?As Grant said:
4.5 to 10g (strictly speaking is not supported) but should work ok - Generally speaking you just open your Forms in the 10g builder and compile. You should check out otn.oracle.com/formsupgrade which gives you some good pointers including the Forms built-in procedures that have be desupported and removed from the product.
4.5 -> 6i -> 10g was the supported route (but even 6i is desupported now).

Oracle Forms Architecture using Websphere AS

My company wish to migrate to the latest version of Oracle forms (currently 10.1.2 (10gr2) ) from v5 and v6. I understand that the first step is to migrate v5 to v6, then we can move from v6 to v10.
My question is actually regarding the forms architecture we are looking to implement. We are to purchase new WinTel servers (IBM x3550 rack servers) and my senior manager is "directing" me towards using Websphere as the application server. What experience do people have of running Forms with Websphere (as opposed to Oracle Application Server or Apache/Tomcat/mod-jk)? How easy (or not) is the configuration of forms to work with Websphere? Are there any "gotchas" to be aware of?

Hi,
I don't know nothing about Websphere, but I did the same thing for BEA WebLogic Server a while ago, that is install and run Forms without using OAS.
It took me about one month to get it running, with most of the time spent on figuring out how BEA WebLogic (or any J2EE compliant server) works, how forms server works and what to put where. And to figure out, which parts (i.e .jar-files) are needed by the applet and which ones by the servlets, since oracle installs them all into the same directory (forms\java).
Things to look out for or be aware of:
- you still must install Oracle Application Server Forms + Reports Services (you just don't run the server tools or daemons then, and even can delete them from your disk)
- you still need a licence for OAS!
- some addons like SingeSignOn or Load Balancing may not work , or at least be more difficult to integrate
hope that helps
