Oracle forms 10g R1 (9.0.4) to 10g R2 (10.1.2.0.2)

Hello,
We were using Dev suite 10G R1 (9.0.4) for a long time and now we have moved to 10G R2 in app server.
I'm a developer and trying to get my forms 10g R2 working on my windows xp machine.
1. I'm able to open the forms which were opened last time using 10G R1 using 10G R2 now. So my understanding is that I don't need to recompile all the forms/plls in my working directory.
2. When I run a form from the forms builder, it runs like a web page. I can see the menu at the runtime like Action query etc. but unable to acccess any menu. i.e if i click the Action menu item, it doesn't show the options under Action.
3. The Jinitiator JInitiator 1.3.1.22 was automatically installed by the installer. Can I leave it at 22 or Do I need to get a later version like 28 ??
(My Internet explorer version is 6.0).
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Cheers

hi
if u r using forms 10g R1 and without compilations u moved to R2 ,u will be not able to run the form because.it needs compilations.
u have to compile all fmb,mmbs etc etc.
and for the application server u have to need the same version of application server like..
if u r using R1 so the application server should be R1 and if u r using Application server R2 so the app serevr should be
R2...
hopes,this helps u..

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.

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.

Oracle reports 6i to Oracle forms 10g migration

Hi,
I have .rdf files which were created on Oracle Reports 6i. I would like to migrate the .rdf files into Oracle Reports module which is present as a part of Oracle Forms 10g to generate PDF output.
Please let me know the detailed steps to be followed as I am a total newbie. Also I need to generate these reports on demand from a java 5 application (JSF 2.0).
Currently for ORacle reports 6i, I have the following code in my java application
rwrun60.exe g:\tomcat33\webapps\reports\web-inf\src\null userid=***/*** destype=FILE desformat="pdf" paramform=NO printjob=NO batch=YES desname=temp.pdf
1. What would be the equivalent for reports in ORacle Forms 10g ? I know there is an Oracle Apps server where ther report services reside. How to I invoke my report from my java application (residing on a weblogic server 10.3.6)?
2. What ould I do with the 6i .rdf files to upgrade them to 10g ?

I am trying to call an Oracle report i.e .rdf (which is located on the Oracle App Server) from my java EE 5 (JSF) application. The Oracle App server is Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2. I assume Oracle report generation capability is available in this release. I need to invoke the report from my Java JSF application on demand (whenever the user clicks a button on the web browser page, the report should appear on the browser as PDF) . My java application resides on Linux weblogic server.
Please let me know how it can be done ? I see rwclient.sh and another method to directly invoke using a URL. How do I do it on java, would a request.redirect() to the URL work ?
Also for hiding the params in the URL. keys need to be configured on the Oracle server right ?
Also if we use rwclient.sh or the URL based invocation, would there be any issue in concurrency when multiple users request the same report at the same time ?

Oracle Forms 10G(tabbed canvasses not working the same as in Forms 6i)

Hi everyone,
I have a form which gets called from another form through a list of value. The called form(second form) has a group of tabbed canvases which get displayed depending on the parameters passed from the first form.
The Form is working prefectly fine in Forms 6i but when I converted the same form in to forms 10G it does not seem to work the same way. The tabbed canvasses are not getting displayed. I am manually having to press the execute query to get data displayed in the tabbed canvasses. I checked the parameters that are being passed and they are the same as that in Forms 6i.
Please let me know where my 10G Form is going wrong. Appreciate your help, please send me an email on [email protected]
Thanks

Weblogic 10.3.2 as a replacement of OAS 10g full of Oracle Forms

hello, quick question: Can I take a entire system in Oracle Forms with OAS 10g technology and deploy them on a Weblogic 10.3.2 as an upgrade/replacement option ?
Can weblogic run Oracle forms out of the box or is there a vendor lock-in trick ?
Thanks in advance,
fabio

Out of the box, WLS is not able to run Oracle Forms.
At the time of this writing, for a complete replacement you need the following components:
- WLS 10.3.2
- OFM 11g Forms
(optional for single sign-on)
- OFM 11g OID
- AS 10.1.4 OID DAS and mod_osso

Migrating Oracle forms and reports from 6i to 10g Application server on Uni

HI Guys,
We are migrating from Oracle forms and reports 6i to 10g.
We will be having application server on Unix box.
I understand following will be the changes i will have to do in this respect -
1. Fonts are to be revisited only Java fonts are supported.
2. Obsolete items, function calls, triggers are to be removed.
My question is since this application can be cross platform application,
Can anyone provide me with changes that I will have to do with configuration files like -
1. Formsweb.cfg,
2. forms.conf
3. default.env
4. registry.dat
Keeping in mind that the application server will be on unix box.
Thanks,
Av.

Java fonts are only supported for the Forms version.
You can use your own fonts for Reports however, there is some legwork to do this. I know because I just went through it.
If you will only being using the PDF output (which for me replaced the Preview mode that existed in 6i), then you have to install the TTF for the missing font, an AFM (use the ttf2pt1 utility to generate the AFM file, but make sure you remove the AFM extension when moving it to Unix). You'll want to use the PDF Subset in the uifont.ali (which exists under the ORACLE_HOME/guicommon/tk/admin directory and add the line underneath the PDF Subset "Font Family Name"="TTF Font Name" The font family name is found when you open the AFM file in textpad or wordpad for the font you generated. This is what you enter. The TTF Font Name is the name the TTF font. You'll have to restart Reports Server after this.
If printing to the printer directly is an option you must have, I will tell you it does not work in Linux right now. You can print to the printer but if the font doesn't exist on the internal memory of the printer, it won't work. There are 3rd party utilities like ORARRP and PDFPrint that can take care of this but, each has its own limitations. The one thing I found with ORARRP is if you generate a Report with an RRPA file extension and open it on Windows, it works great, the printer dialog comes up asking you what printer you want to print too. However, if you call this in Linux/Unix with the filename, it brings it up in the web browser but doesn't prompt you for your printer to print too automatically. So, for me, it's a show stopper. My only other option is to install the fonts on the printer that are missing.
As for the files you want to change, you'll obviously have to make changes to the formsweb.cfg, default.env, forms.conf. I have to modify the reports.sh for some PL/SQL attached libraries to make sure it picks them up. I did have to modify Registry.dat.
There is alot of work but mainly forms wasn't too bad, unless you had fonts that weren't supported. Usually there is another font that you can use to replace the old one but you have to know which fonts exists on the server and try all the keys on the keyboard to find the corresponding keystroke.
Hope this helps.

How to use LDAP with Oracle forms 10g on Oracle application server

Hi,
I need some help on this. I have developed oracle forms 10g on application server 9iAS. The client want to use the existing LDAP authentication to the software we wrote. I do not know how I could configure to use the existing LDAP authentication . If anyone know how would I use the existing LDAP on different server to use when they logon to our menu in 10g to validate the user. Do I need to add any varibales in formweb.cfg or any other method. Please help.
Thanks
Luksh

I am not quite sure if this works out of the box. According to an Oracle FAQ:
4.2 Can I use LDAP to authenticate Forms Services?
Not directly. However, Oracle Login Server is able to authenticate against a LDAP directory and thus a Forms application can take advantage of this in a SSO environment. But you cannot use access control information stored in a LDAP directory with Forms.

Exception when calling web service from Oracle forms 10g

Hi All,
I am trying to integrate Oracle Forms 10g(V 10.1.2.0.2.) with Web Services.
There is a java class named 'authenticate' which is generated using Oracle JDeveloper.
This class is included in the forms application by using "Import Java Class" feature.
Forms built the following funtion based on that class:
-- Method: authenticate (Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;)Ljava/lang/String;
FUNCTION authenticate(
obj ORA_JAVA.JOBJECT,
a0 VARCHAR2,
a1 VARCHAR2) RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
BEGIN
args := JNI.CREATE_ARG_LIST(2);
JNI.ADD_STRING_ARG(args, a0);
JNI.ADD_STRING_ARG(args, a1);
message('here1');
RETURN JNI.CALL_STRING_METHOD(FALSE, obj, 'mypackage/AuthenticatorWebServiceServiceStub',
'authenticate', '(Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;)Ljava/lang/String;', args);
message('here2');
END;
However when the above code is invoked it shows the message 'here1' on the form and then throws the following exception: java.lang.Exception: java.lang.ClassCastException
Please suggest me what's wrong with the code. I appreciate your time and help.
Thanks,
Scott.

URGENT!!! calling crystal reports from oracle forms 10g

Is it possible to call crystal reports from oracle forms 10g?
Can someone help to answer how, if there is a solusion, to call crystal reports from oracle forms 10g.
Please provide codes with details showing step by step.
Thanks

hi
try something like this.
DECLARE
charWinHandle VARCHAR2(50);
numWinHandle NUMBER;
BEGIN Set_Application_Property(Cursor_Style,'BUSY');
charWinHandle := Get_Item_Property('Control.Rep',Window_Handle);
numWinHandle := To_Number(charWinHandle);
:Item('Control.CrystalReport1').OCX.Crystal.Crysta lReport.WindowParentHandle
:= numWinHandle;
:Item('Control.CrystalReport1').OCX.Crystal.Crysta lReport.WindowState := 2;
:Item('CONTROL.CRYSTALREPORT1').OCX.Crystal.Crysta lReport.Connect
:= 'DSN=;UID=' || Get_Application_Property(UserName) ||
';pwd=' || Get_Application_Property(password) || ';dsq=;';
Crystal_CrystalCtrl.ReportFileName( :Item('Control.CrystalReport1').interface,
'C:\Sample_Rep.Rpt' );
Set_Window_Property( Forms_Mdi_Window, Window_State,Maximize );
Set_Window_Property( 'MAIN', Window_State, Maximize );
:reptitle := 'Report Preview Window';
numWinHandle := Crystal_CrystalCtrl.PrintReport( :Item('Control.CrystalReport1').interface );
Set_Application_Property(Cursor_Style,'DEFAULT');
END;NOTE: Change the report name and path according to your required file name and path in
the "Crystal_CrystalCtrl.ReportFileName" method call. Also, the connection string shown
assumes that you will use the current USER and PASSWORD for the Form.
- To make the above Form generic so that you can run any Crystal report from it, then create
a parameter for the report name and pass it to the Form using CALL_FORM from any other Form.
Then just replace the file name with the passed parameter.
-. Run the Form
If its correct/helpful please mark it thanks.

Calling a Report from Oracle Forms 10g

Hi Everyone,
I need assistance.
Am running Oracle Forms & reports 10g.
My Form module is running just fine. Inside the the Form Module I added a button with a "When Button Pressed Trigger" that has the following code
declare
     repid REPORT_OBJECT;
     v_rep VARCHAR2 (100);
begin
     repid := FIND_REPORT_OBJECT ('REPORT49');
     v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT (repid);
end;
This compiles without any errors.
At runtime when I press the Button from Forms, I get the following error;
"FRM-41211: Integration error: SSL failure running another product"
Please assist.

Pascaline

Calling Crystal Reports from Oracle Forms 10G

Hi everyone,
I am trying to call a crystal report from Oracle Forms 10G.
I have a button on my Form which when clicked calls a Crystal Report which the uaser then wants to save as a PDf file.
Can someone please send me the code to do this and also the exact steps that are to be followed.
Thanks
Fm.

Hi Andreas,
I am trying to call the crystal report from an Oracle Form using a URL. No batch file is being used here.
I am looking for a peice of code similar to run_product or run_report built in in Oracle which calls an Oracle report from an Oracle Form.
Also I dont want to display the report on a screen or a window in Oracle Forms. I would like it to run just as we run an Oracle Report from an Oracle Form.
Is that possible ? If yes please let me know the steps to do this.
Thanks
Faiz
