ORACLE FORM HELP

Hello all
I am pretty new to Oracle and I am wondering how do you edit the form layout in 9i. I mean, the default toolbar and color scheme etc. Where are the properties for this?
Thanks
M

It's been a long time since I used the tool but as I recall there is pretty good help text in Oracle Forms.
the default toolbar and color schemeNot quite sure what you're after here. If you meaning changing these values in an actual Forms module then you need to edit the inherited properties to use different items in the Object Library. If you mean you want to change the properties of the actual default toolber, etc then you need to open the appropriate template module and edit the items.
I am pretty new to OracleYou may find it more useful to ask Forms questions in the forum Forms rather than here, which is database only. Not many Forms developers visit these parts.
Cheers, APC

  • Oracle Forms - need to update multi-record block - Help needed asap

    Hi,
    We are using Oracle apps release 11i - Oracle forms 6i.
    I have a field "project_start_date" in project_block in a custom form. There is another multi-record block called role_block in the same custom form and it has a field named start_date. Requirement is when ever I make change in the project_start_date in project_block, that should reflect in role_block.start_date. I tried different means and could update only the very first record of the multi-record block - role_block. I need to update all the records in the role_block with the same project_start_date. Used looping and several other methods. But could not achieve. Any help is really appreciated.
    Thanks

  • 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 :-)

  • Need help for Oracle forms 10.1.2

    Hi , I have installed oracle form 10g application in one of my linux box ( 64 bit) , After bringing up the servers , the system-linux box is getting rebooted automatically . Please help as the Everytime the servers are going down along with the machine.

    My shop uses that version of Forms. 64 bit Linux gave us so much trouble we installed 32 bit Linux on the 64 bit hardware.
    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think there's a 32 bit version of the oracle software so 64 bit Linux does not give you anything.

    Someone help me!!!
    Thanks.

    The requirements for installing 10.2.0 and 9.0.4 on RHEL4 differ - 9.0.4 is based on older versioned RSFs and require linking against older compatibility libraries.
    The OUI may incorrectly complain if later versions of the required/pre-requisite packages really are installed - this should not be a problem functionally, however.
    The latter errors you report, however (make, relocation error, glibc/symbol), are symptomatic of trying to link with/against incompatible gcc/glibc versions. Try installing the following additional compatibility files (appropriate for your architecture);
    - http://oss.oracle.com/projects/compat-oracle/dist/files/RedHat/compat-oracle-rhel4-1.0-5.i386.rpm
    - http://oss.oracle.com/projects/compat-oracle/dist/files/RedHat/compat-libcwait-2.1-1.i386.rpm
    If you have not already done so, I suggest you create and use (i.e. source) separate environment definition files when working with each product/version environment. For 9.0.4, ensure that you specify environment variable LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.19 before installing 9.0.4 (or relinking).
    If you have MetaLink access, refer also to Note.315832.1, Note.389811.1.

  • Help for designing the same forms like Oracle form!!!

    Hi everyone!
    I am working for some projects and now I want to make a form like Oracle form, there are some features in Oracle form that I don't know how to do the same so I would like to ask someone here. Please help me to design form like the form I mention below. I mean when I open my form, it must be the same with Query Material after that I press Enter then it must be the same Material Workbench form. Please help me!!! Thanks in advanced.
    Inventory => On-hand Availability => On-hand Quantity, it will display Query Material Form then Enter after that it will display Material Workbench.

    Hi, welcome to the forums. Please take a few minutes to reveiw the following:
    <ul>
    <li> Before posting on this forum please read
    <li> 10 Commandments for the OTN Forums Member
    <li> Announcement: Forums Etiquette / Reward Points
    </ul>
    If you follow these general guidelines, you will greatly increase your chances of getting a solution to your question in a shorter period of time. While your questions may make sense to you - when you post a question here, you have to remember that we do not have the same point of reference as you. You can't assume we will understand vague references like *"I want to make a form like Oracle form"*. I've seen so many different UI variations in Oracle Forms that a blanket statement like this has no meaning. The only thing that limits the funtionality of a Form is your imagination.
    Perhaps, after reviewing the aforementioned articles, you could provide us with some basic information like your Oracle Forms version, Browser and version, OS and version and a more detailed description of the type of functionality you are trying to emulate. With this information, we (the Forum participants) will be better able to help you.

  • Help with oracle forms

    Hi everyone
    i don't know anything in oracle forms , and all what i want to do is the following :
    I have a table called 'fp_log' with 2 columns 'ID' and "UIS'
    I have another table called 'EMP' with a column 'FP' which is a 'LONG RAW' type and another column 'EMP_ID'
    i have a button and when i press the button with F11 i need to write code into it , the code should do the following :
    check if the column 'FP' in table 'EMP' has a value or is it a null when EMP_ID = x for example
    if it has a value and not a null i need to check if column 'UIS' in table 'FP_LOG' where ID in 'FP_LOG' is equal 1 is equal to 'EMP_ID' to show a message "Wrong FP" then exit the code without completing the rest of it .
    in other language :
    If (FP from EMP where EMP_ID = x) is not empty then
    -- if (UIS from FP_LOG where ID=1) != (EMP_ID) then
    -- -- message "WRONG FP"
    -- -- exit the button function without doing the rest of the code
    -- end if
    end if
    it is an easy job for who knows oracle at least a little :-)
    and thanks in advance :-)

    You can try the follow code:
    declare
    temp_fp long raw := null;
    temp_uis number := null;
    begin
    select fp
    into temp_fp
    from emp
    where emp_id = x;
    if temp_fp is not null then
    select uis
    into temp_uis
    from fp_log
    where id = 1;
    if temp_uis != x then
    message('wrong fp');
    message(' ',no_acknowledge);
    end if;
    end if;
    end;
    Hope it helps you,
    Fabrizio.

  • Oracle forms installation - some help need

    I am trying to install Oracle forms - but get the follwing message:
    Checking swap space: 576 MB available, 1535 MB required. Failed <<<<
    Some requirement checks failed. You must fulfill these requirements before
    continuing with the installation,at which time they will be rechecked.
    Continue? (y/n) [n]
    actually - I have no choice to choose y and try what's going on - so - is this means that I shoul add some 1.5 GB of RAM to my computer? (I have already 700MB, only 300 of them are used)? I am using WinXP, free HD is above 3.5 GB, 2.4GHz processor.
    Can I try to find some workaround - e.g. simply try to copy jar's from 'stage' (direcotry in installation disk) in Oracle application server's lib directory (where it is in Oracle_Home directory?)?
    Any experience with installing Oracle forms?
    This was trying to run setup.exe, but when I am trying to run wsf.exe - I get:
    SEVERE: Unable to locate the MDAC Update Status registry key value, probably because the installation was aborted.
    MDAC possibly stands for Microsoft Data Access Components? If so - where is problem - I can run a lot of DB servers, including Oracle server itself normally?
    BTW - is there any free service available for Oracle Forms skills development (e.g. as for Oracle SQL the Intel test drive is available?)
    user454720

    OK - now I increased the max limit of my page file and now I achieved this:
    Starting Oracle Universal Installer...
    Checking installer requirements...
    Checking operating system version: must be 5.0, 5.1 or 5.2 . Actual 5.1
    Passed
    Checking monitor: must be configured to display at least 256 colors . Actual
    4294967296 Passed
    Checking swap space: must be greater than 1535 MB . Actual 1600MB Passed
    Checking Temp space: must be greater than 150 MB . Actual 1942 MB Passed
    All installer requirements met.
    Preparing to launch Oracle Universal Installer from C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\LOCALS
    ~1\Temp\OraInstall2006-03-18_01-57-43PM. Please wait ...
    however - after this I receive the standard messgae:
    'setup.exe has encountered a problem and need to close. we are sorry for the inconvenience..... Please tell Microsoft about thsi problem'
    actually - I have little ideas what to do further - maybe I should look for other Oracle Installer version? I am using:
    Oracle Universal Installer version: 10.1.0.2.0
    and I am trying to install
    Oracle Deveoper Suite: 10.1.2.0.2 (so - a bit higher)
    I can run OUI without any problems, my Default JRE is 1.5_1 - so - all seems to be OK?
    Please - if any idea - help me :))
    Thanks in advance!

  • Attn: Oracle Form programmers - pls. help

    Can somebody pls. give me the syntax for writing Oracle Query Forms. I've done it before but forgotten the syntax.
    The idea is to create a statement by APPENDING the search items in a program unit & substituting in the WHERE clause. This program unit will be called by a button.
    This way, we don't have to write many IF statments.
    For example, if user wants to query by NAME AND COUNTRY, then the statement >> Block:Name ||&|| Block:Country
    Where clause: Block:Name ||&|| Block:Country
    Thanks - Mave

    1. that subject line of yours is just stupid. You're posting on an Oracle Forms Forum. Every single post on this forum is looking for help from Oracle Forms programmers.
    Be specific.
    2. I assume you're looking for something like
    DECLARE
      v_default_where VARCHAR2(32767);
      v_btn NUMBER;
    begin
      IF :control.name is not null then
        v_default_where := v_default_where||' AND name LIKE :control.name';
      END IF;
      IF :control.empno is not null then
        v_default_where := v_default_where||' AND empno = :control.empno';
      END IF;
      IF v_default_where IS NULL THEN
        v_btn := show_alert('NO_CRITERIA');
      ELSE
        v_default_where := SUBSTR(v_default_where,5); -- remove leading ' AND '
        set_block_property(data_block, ONETIME_WHERE, v_default_where);
        EXECUTE_QUERY;
      END IF;
    END;

    Hi,
    Try the built-in procedure WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT. See some examples in the on-line help of Forms.
    You can call this built-in procedure in a Form level trigger , called 'KEY-HELP' (when the user presses the <Ctrl>+<H> buttons) , or if you have a button on the form use the trigger 'WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED'.
    Hope the above will help you...

  • Call an html help (*.chm) from an oracle form

    we used to call a help file (oracle_dba_help.hlp) from an oracle form by using the following code .
    Declare
    Htype PLS_INTEGER;
    Begin
    Htype := WIN_API.HELP_CONTEXT;
    WIN_API_SHELL.WINHELP('C:\oracle_dba_help.hlp','11',Htype);
    End;
    but when we used the html help(oracle_dba_help.chm) instead of help compiler(oracle_dba_help.hlp) it didn't accept
    please give us a way to call html help from a form.

    Thanks for the idea, but I can't switch the project to WebHelp.  This .chm project consists of a master project with 18 slave projects and a slew of remote jumps.  I'd have to recreate all of the remote jumps if I switch to WebHelp.
    Hopefully Adobe can fix this issue.
    Well, first off, even though it would be WebHelp, it would be inside a CHM container. So for all intents and purposes it would be a CHM file. But having said that, I'm not sure there is a way to merge these hybrid types of CHM files.
    If your statement about Adobe fixing the issue is meaning that they can either remove the Print icon from the CHM Viewer, I wouldn't hold my breath because as I said, that's in Microsoft's lap and they haven't updated the CHM viewer in a long while. Doubtful they ever will.
    The only hope would then be for Adobe to update the code used for the Mini TOC. The only way that will happen is if enough folks submit this as a bug via the following link:
    http://www.adobe.com/go/wish
    Until that would happen, your likely best bet is to simply avoid using the Mini-TOC feature or just insert a warning that if the topic is printed, it will cause issues. Or, you could use bookmarks and links to establish your own verision of a "Mini-TOC"
