Hi
I think what you showed us here is a tnsnames.ora of the oracle database itself. You should configure tnsnames.ora file of the Forms builder. So find the file in Forms home and set it as appropriate for your database.

Oracle Forms Builder - Errors

Hi to all!
I'm beginner in Oracle Forms and Reports. The OS is Windows and the software is Oracle Forms and Reports Developer 10g with Database Server 10g. I have started with customers.fmb and orders.fmb. When I try start customers.fmb, I get the error FRM-40911:Record not created due to sequence number generation error. In orders.fmb I get the error FRM-10102: Cannot attach library webutil_lib.
How to solve these errors?
Thx in advance.

When I try start customers.fmb, I get the error FRM-40911:Record not created due to sequence number generation error. Double-check the sequence used by the CUSTOMERS table and make sure the sequence exists. If it exists, check the permissions to see if your user has SELECT privilege granted.
In orders.fmb I get the error FRM-10102: Cannot attach library webutil_lib.Sounds like your environment is not configured correctly. The WebUtil.pll (PL/SQL Library) is included with Oracle Forms and is located in the <DEV_SUITE HOME>/forms directory. This directory location needs to be added to your FORMS_PATH so the Forms Builder can find the library. The Forms Builder FORMS_PATH variable is located in the Windows Registry. Edit your Windows Registry and navigate to the following Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE => SOFTWARE => Oracle => KEY_DevSuiteHome1 (your key may be named slightly different). Now, in the right side, scroll until you find the FORMS_PATH string object and double-click to open the editor. Add the directory where the webutil.pll is located to the existing value in this string variable. When you are done, it should look something like the following:
D:\DevSuiteHome_1\cgenf61\admin;D:\DevSuiteHome_1\formsYou might also want to take a look at the article: Forms: How to Configure Forms Builder to run forms locally. Even if you do not plan to run a form directly from the Forms Builder, this article will show you the basics for setting up your environment.
Hope this helps,

Bug in Oracle Forms Builder 6i?

When converting from binary to text in Oracle Forms Builder, the conversion is inexplicably dropping a WHEN-VALIDATE-RECORD trigger for one of my data blocks.
I am running Oracle Forms Builder 6i on Windows XP with the latest patches. I couldn't find anything in the bug search that resembled this problem. Is this a known issue? Is there a workaround?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I just tested this in 10.1.2.2 on XP and could not reproduce the problem. It is unlikely that this is a bug and if it was, it is very likely that it was already corrected.
Ensure that you are using 6.0.8.26. If you are using Oracle Applications you should be using 6.0.8.27.
Also, Error Correction Support for stand-alone Forms 6.0.x users ended long ago, which means that a patch cannot be provided for version 6.x.

Oracle Forms Builder

Hi Experts,
I am learning oracle form builder version 6i where my manager wants me to develop a form with the LOV and data blocks.
I dont know the Form Builder. Where i can get the form builder document with the simple form created example.
I need it urgently.
Thanks,
Atul

Please see these doc (use TEMPLATE.fmb form to build your form).

Oracle Forms Builder 10g Questions

Good day everyone,
I want to start off by saying that I'm very new to Oracle Forms Builder (it was dumped on my table about a month ago) and I'm having some issues I need resolved in order to complete a project for a client.
I'm looking mainly for documentation or resources that will show me how to do the following in Oracle Forms Builder 10g:
* Use either the ENTER button or mouse click to navigate between mandatory fields in a form (currently only TAB works)
* Populate a field[s] after pressing a search button based on a SQL query
* Populate a field[s] on launch based on a SQL query
* Throw a warning message if an SQL query returns with a specific result
* Populate a drop down menu based on a SQL query (ie only show valid options to user)
* Remove static highlighting (fields should only be highlighted if necessary, which is never on this particular form)

I've been able to reduce my problem down to the fact that Oracle Forms Builder 10g is not configured correctly on my machine for my environment. I can seem to get Oracle Forms Builder to see my libraries. When I load the form I'm working on I get the following error:
FRM-18108: Failed to load the following objects.
Source Module:utlf_gui
Source Object: TOOLBAR_MDI
+... (many more of the one above)+
I press ok and get the following error:
FRM-10102: Cannot attach PL/SQL library sdsl. This library attachment will be lost if the module is saved.
+... (many more of the one above)+
From my various searches on the internet I've learned that this is because Oracle Forms Developer can not find the listed PL/SQL libraries and I should check my Environmental variables. I've set up two Environmental variables with the following:
Forms_Path = C:\<project path>\Lib\ (This is the folder in the project folder where all the PL/SQL libraries are stored)
Forms90_Path = C:\<project path>\Lib\ (This is the folder in the project folder where all the PL/SQL libraries are stored)
I created both Environmental variables because there wasn't any consistency on the sites I was checking to which was needed.
Also if I try to attack a PL/SQL library I get the following error:
Attached library name <name> contains a non-portable directory specification. Remove path?
I press yes or no and get the following error:
PDE-PLI038 Cannot open file for use as a PL/SQL library.
Any help is much appreciated.

Login Screen in Oracle forms builder 6i

Hello everyone
I am trying to create a canvas with a login screen and password in oracle forms builder 6i.
So far I have create the following table:
CREATE TABLE PASSWORD
(USER_ID NUMBER(3)
CONSTRAINT PASSWORD_USER_ID_PK PRIMARY KEY,
PASSWORD VARCHAR2(20) NOT NULL);
Inserted the following values:
INSERT INTO PASSWORD (USER_ID,PASSWORD)
VALUES (1,1010);
INSERT INTO PASSWORD (USER_ID,PASSWORD)
VALUES (2,2020);
Created a MENU canvas with a LOGIN button TI_USER_ID and TI_PASSWORD text boxes.
In the LOGIN button i have inserted the following WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger:
BEGIN
SELECT USER_ID
INTO :GLOBAL.USER_ID
FROM PASSWORD
WHERE USER_ID = :LOGIN.TI_USER_ID
AND PASSWORD= :LOGIN.TI_PASSWORD;
GO_BLOCK('PASSWORD');
EXCEPTION
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
:GLOBAL.COUNT := :GLOBAL.COUNT + 1;
IF :GLOBAL.COUNT = 1 THEN
MESSAGE('wrong');
MESSAGE('wrong');
ELSIF
:GLOBAL.COUNT = 2 THEN
MESSAGE('wrong');
MESSAGE('wrong');
ELSIF
:GLOBAL.COUNT = 3 THEN
EXIT_FORM;
END IF;
END;
When i try to compile that it gives an error Bad bind variable LOGIN.TI_USER_ID
Bad bind variable LOGIN.TI_PASSWORD
What am i doing wrong?

Ok i changed the button to contain only the following:
BEGIN
SELECT USER_ID
INTO :GLOBAL.USER_ID
FROM PASSWORD
WHERE USER_ID = :PASSWORD.TI_USER_ID
AND PASSWORD= :PASSWORD.TI_PASSWORD;
GO_ITEM('GO_REVIEWS');
END;
when i now press login it gives an error FRM 40735: WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger raised unhandled exception ORA-01403
i tried to reffer to several items in several blocksi suspect that when you removed the exception it ends up with the no data found error. you need not to remove the exception clause try to bring that back. then try in SQL*Plus to see if your query returns any rows with the same data that you are attempting to use in your TI_USER_ID and TI_PASSWORD block item. if it does not return that is the cause of your issue it will not execute the GO_ITEM() command it will simply go to the exception clause.

What would you recommend me to do in Oracle Form Builder as a beginnner?

I am a beginner in Oracle Form Builder and can anyone recommend a list of tasks/assignments I could try as I barely any projects at work currently ?
I have been able to query items in a database(table) by creating a control/dummy block. What list of tasks would you suggest me to do next ? Any complex type of forms I could try ?
Thanks.

If you have created a dummy/control block, I would recommend that you create a new block based on a database table. Use the block wizard.
Then a further block based on a table that is a "child" or "detail" table for the one you just created. use the block wizard.
Then create a list of values (using the LOV Wizard) to populate one or more of the fields in your block - preferably using a SQL statement to get the contents of the LOV.
You could then try creating a calculated item to add up values in one of your blocks.
Then try creating a "when validate item" trigger on one of your items to try to enforce some validation rules. Display any error messages using an Alerti (don't bother with the "message" function in Forms - it's rubbish).
That should be enough to be going on with.
Good luck.

How to insert special character from Oracle form builder 10g

Dear all,
I need help. how to insert special character like 'Superscript or Subscript ' from oracle form builder 10g. I had try in Oracle form builder 6i with press ALT+ASCII code in the text item and it work, but in the oracle form builder 10g this method doesn't work... would you like to help me...somebody please...
Best Regard,
Dedy P.T.

What do you mean by insert ... from Forms Builder? Do you mean you want to add it as text in a string of pl/sql code or as part of boiler plate text (label) or a value on the Property Palette?
For special characters you would need set NLS_LANG to something that would support the characters you want to use. For the Builder to see the change, you would need to set NLS_LANG to something like:
NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8
This can be done in the Windows Registry or system. As I mentioned, this will only apply to the Builder and will have nothing to do with a running form. For running forms you would need to set this in default.env. As for things like super and sub scripts, these are font formats and not necessarily characters. For the most part, I don't believe these are supported in Forms.

Pls Help: View Crystal Report Via Oracle Form Builder

Hi!!
I want to know how to view the .rpt report (report made from Crystal Report) via Oracle Form Builder. I've to do it in my project. If you know, please tell me.
Thanks in advance,

I don't know how does crystal reports work, and I would guess you should ask the crystal guys to help you with this. find out if they have a command line interface that you can invoke from the host command in forms.
We can help you do it with Oracle Reports though :-)

Hi,
Simple, using current values you can create new id , 'old' and name so oracle will create record, now refresh block, next using next_record in loop you can find record,erase one and refresh block.

Identify forms in Oracle forms Builder

Hi every one,
I am very very new to Oracle forms and Oracle Builder, how can we find the complexity of a form and also a report, I have the access to the Oracle forms builder and Oracle report builder, Can any one help me how to move further and, how to identify. It would be really great thing, If any one helps me As soon as possible.
waiting for your suggestions.
Thanks,
raki

Is see you double posted this thread, and the other one is also a bit vague.
It is not such a straightforward task to specify complexity. You have to have a good working knowledge of the system. I can give you example about one of our forms. It looks really simple: type in some identifier, and it will show you all open invoices of a customer, Press a button for full or partly payment of the invoices and receipts will be printed.
This involves many things in the background, like checking the financial system. It looks simple (one when-button-pressed trigger), but is very complex indeed.
If you want to migrate from Forms to Apex, you should properly plan it. If you have no experience at all in your company for such a project, you might want to contact a specialized company.

Is Oracle Forms builder version 10.1.2.0.2 certified with Windows 7 ?

Hello
I need to change my old PC that is running 32 bit XP.
On this PC , I have installed Oracle Forms builder 10.1.2.0.2
I need to keep this version of forms as my customer is running the same version on linux.
I wish to upgrade my PC and install Windows7 (32 bit ) . Is Windows7 certified with Oracle Form builder 10.1.2.0.2?
Thanks
John Hall

Hello Sunny,
I just asked that same question in a service request a few days ago and got this answer from Oracle Support:
Question "Could you please also check if Forms/Reports Builder *10g* (10.1.2.3.0) are being certified for Windows 7 (32- and 64-bit)? As far as I know Forms/Reports Builder 10g are currently not certified for Win7 at all."
ODM Answer / Action Plan:
"According to product management and http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/10gR2/clientsod_forms10gR2.html , Windows 7 is certified as a client platform for 10.1.2.3, however production runtime deployments on Windows 7 is not supported for this version. You can build your Forms applications using Forms Builder on Windows 7 and test it, but when it is time to deploy it in a multi user environment, it needs to be deployed on a supported production deployment. So it should be ok to install iDS 10.1.2.3 on Windows 7 and develop your applications. The installation should be according to How to Install Developer Suite 10.1.2.3 on Windows Vista (Doc ID 559067.1). The note is for Vista, but the instructions apply for Windows 7 as well."
So I'd assume Windows 7 to be supported as well with Forms and Reports Builder 10.1.2.3.0.
Regards
Andreas
