Oracle Forms can read the DBF files ?

hi,
i have 2 PC : the first with sco-unix and a database d-base with files .DBF
and the second PC with windows xp pro and data base oracle
i want to know if Oracle Forms can read the DBF files from the first PC and load the data to oracle data base.
thank's

Lido,
If you can create an ODBC connector for your d-Base files you should be able to use ODBC to read the data from these files. The alternative would be to use TEXT_IO (Forms 6i/Client Server) or CLIENT_TEXT_IO (WebUtils) to read the .DBF files (as I recall, d-Base simply wrote a comma delimited data file). Using this method will require you to understand the layout of the .dbf file so you know which data element is which.
Which method you use depends on which version of Oracle Forms you are using and if your application is web deployed or Client/Server.

  • Is Oracle Form can read bar code scanner ?

    Hi everybody,
    I would like to develop an application for a video club with oracle form. Can anyone tell me how can do or just say if it is possible or not
    Thanks a lot.
    Shafique Mahmood

    I would like to develop an application with
    Oracle form can any one can just tell me
    is it possible or not? Depending what bar code scanner you use. If it has a Java
    interface, you can develop a PJC (Pluggable Java Component) for
    Forms, or even a Java Bean and use a JavaBean area item.
    If it has a COM interface, you can use the JavaBean/COM bridges
    probably get the same result.
    For PJC and JavaBeans, have a look in the Forms 6i/9i docs for
    more info.
    Hope that helps

  • How XI will read the .txt file

    Experts,
    i AM WORKING ON A FILE BAPI synchrounous scenario.
    Sender will drop the required file on XI directory and XI will pull the file and map it with the BAPI u2013 and crate services  entries in SAP SCM. If errors are encountered during the process they are returned to the client in a report or as erroneous file.
       *I have a .txt file( tab delimitted file)  in the folowing structure
    H                       NAME                        date            ***                 data_txt                         676869*
      C             a                           b             c

    like this  multiple entries, ll be getting .
    Based on H ( indicator), Have to get the data. How will I do in XI file  adapter?  Please help me how should I design the file adapter so that It can read the .txt file.
    I have created the sender data type similarly to the structure of BAPI.
    Note; H indicates teh Header and D indicates teh sublines. Together it is called one service entry. Aagain Next 'H' indicates the strat of next service entry.
    Thanks

  • How to read the iak file in visual c#

    I am trying to read the iak file from visual c#.  How to parse the file?
    I need to know how and what information is stored in the file.
    Why?
    We have Fieldpoints and every time we are moving them around, or the eqjuipment connected to them.  Every time we have to go back and update the program reading the data from the Filedpoints.  If the program can read the iak file, it will be better.

  • I have the latest downloadable version of LR5.  It crashed while it was createing 1:1 previews during an import. After a Win7(64) restart, it shows a message that LR needs to quit because it can't read the preview files and it will try to fix it the next

    I have the latest downloadable version of LR5.  It crashed while it was createing 1:1 previews during an import. After a Win7(64) restart, it shows a message that LR needs to quit because it can't read the preview files and it will try to fix it the next time is launches.  I get the same message the next and every subsequent time it launches so I can't launch LR at all now.
    I get that the preview file got corrupted somehow.  Is there some way to fix this problem without building a new catalog?

    Use Windows Explorer to open the folder containing your catalog. You will see a folder with the extension .lrdata. You need to delete that folder and then start Lightroom again. Lightroom will generate a new previews folder.

  • How can I read the bootstrap files and extract the fragment-URLs and fragment-numbers in plain text?

    How can I read the bootstrap files of any HDS Live stream and extract the fragment-URLs and fragment-numbers in plain text?
    Could it be that it is some kind of compressed format in the bootstrap? Can I uncompress it wirh  f4fpackager.exe? Could not find any download for f4fpackager.exe. I would prefere less code to do so. Is there something in Java of JavaScript, that can extract the fragment-numbers?
    Thank you!

    Doesn't sound too hard to me. Your class User (the convention says to capitalize class names) will have an ArrayList or Vector in it to represent the queue, and a method to store a Packet object into the List. An array or ArrayList or Vector will hold the 10 user objects. You will find the right user object from packet.user_id and call the method.
    Please try to write some code yourself. You won't learn anything from having someone else write it for you. Look at sample code using ArrayList and Vector, there's plenty out there. Post in the forum again if your code turns out not to behave.

  • Can I read the dd file without the device

    Hello,
    Is it possible to read the DD file in Configurator 3.1 without connecting to the device? 
    The short version of the story......  I have only used the configurator a few times and was walked through the process.  Now I need to figure out how to control a positioner (DVC6000f), I just need to stroke a valve open, closed and position it somewhere between the two.  I am not able to connect to a positioner right now, so I would like to load the DD file into the configurator and look around to see if I can figure out how to give it a position command signal.  Once I am able to stroke the valve I will need to write a simple LabView program to make it easier than the configurator program.
      What is the best way to figure out which block I need to position the valve?  I am hoping when I actually connect to the positioner it will be obvious, but life is usually not that easy.
    Bryan

    Hello Josiane,
      Thank you for the information, I was able to load the DD and look around the configuration blocks.  Initially engineering only asked about simple control of the valve, today things have changed.  I found out that there are to be many tests performed on the valve including sine wave response, step testing, Hysterisis, linearity, dead band, and some others. 
    So my question now is how well can I control the positioner by writing a Vi in LabView?  I can perform the above tests on a positioner with a 4-20mA output signal from my DAQ.  Would it be possible to write the 4-20mA output signal into an input block (instead of an analog output channel) and control the valve in real time?  I could just change the mA signal into whatever units the positioner wants.  Or what would be the best approach to control the valve for testing?
      Is there a number I can reach for support?  It might be easier than email.
    Bryan

  • Problem in reading the excel file path in WINDOWs machine from UNIX environ

    Hello friends,
    My requirement is to read each row of the excel sheet and sent that row to the database. I have implemented it by using jxl and apache poi framework. locally in my WINDOWS machine it is working fine..
    But when i deploy the code in UNIX machine. My application runs on a Unix server , trying to read the excel file in WINDOWS environment. I am not able to retrieve the file path. for ex : C:\Documents and Settings\sabbanik\My Documents\KARUNAKAR\excel.xls
    I am getting error in this line
    workbook = Workbook.getWorkbook(filepath)
    Error message : input file not found.
    Thanks in advance..

    You said: I am getting error in this line workbook = Workbook.getWorkbook(filepath) >
    Based on this, I will assume you are trying to use OLE to access information about the Excel file. As mentioned by Andreas, your code will be executing on the server (Unix) and since Excel isn't on the server (and cannot be) an error will result. OLE can only be used in Windows environments (client or server). To access client side OLE calls and content, you need a java bean and Excel installed on the client machine. Oracle provides WebUtil as an option to writing your own Java Bean. To use this, you will need to be running Forms 10.1.2 or newer. Details can be found here along with a demo:

  • How to call a Oracle Form from within the APEX

    Hi,
    I have a requirment where need to call a oracle form from within the Oracle APEX application?
    I will appriciate if can someone help me out.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    are you working with Forms 6i or 10g?
    If you want to call a forms 10g page. Just use a button with javascript:
    - Target type: URL
    - URL Target: javascript:window.open ('http://<server>:<port>/forms/frmservlet?config=<conf>','Forms window');
    With Forms 6i you can open the directory where your forms file is inside (works just with IE):
    <script type="text/javascript">
    function fnc_window()  {w = open('C:\\FormsFiles', "winLov","scrollbars=yes,resizable=no,width=600,height=400");
    if (w.opener == null)
    w.opener = self;
    </script>Or execute the forms file with vbscript (IE only):
    <script language = "vbscript">
    sub fnc_forms()
    dim progName
    progName = "c:\FormsFiles\myForm.exe"
    set oShell = createobject("wscript.shell") 'create a shell
    '***use the line below to call your app, defined above with the "progName" variable:
    oShell.run(progName)
    end sub
    </script>
