Oracle Forms Recognition - non-Accounts Payable application

Hi
I've done a couple of projects using Oracle Forms Recognition (OFR) to process invoice images for Invoice Automation. Recently, I was asked to configure OFR to process some images for another purpose, as a proof of concept. Put simply, I just need to grab a couple of values from scanned images. No validation required.
Here's what I have done so far:
- I created a new project in Designer, and have been able to create the new fields that I want to pull off the images.
- I copied the AP ini file and have configured it as best I can
- I created a new RTS instance and pointed it at the new ini file.
However, when I try to start the RTS instance, it starts and then stops straight away. I checked the OFR logs, and there are no errors that I can see.
Does anyone have any suggestions about possible culprits for the RTS issue? Also, any suggestions on how to configure the ini file would be appreciated. For exaple, there are a lot of sections in the ini file that relate directly to AP. For instance, the PON_ sectionrelates directly to the PO Number field in Designer. Where is that relationship defined?
Finally, regarding the Learnset - obviously, with AP with have the supplied Learnset. With my custom solution, I will have an empty Learnset. Any suggestions how to get the process moving with an empty Learnset?
Thanks for any thoughts,
A

Just in case, I have to ask if you've set the RTS batch scanning delay mode to something other than the default of 0 which scans once and stops?

Oracle Forms Recognition: Brainware Learning Error

Hi Everybody,
First of all, thanks to all the members for their co-operation in solving all my previous queries.
Currently, I am working on the development and customization of the AP package of Oracle Forms Recognition for one of our client. I added a few number of fields in that and now i am trying to add document to learnset by making fields to learn. but i am facing error in that saying :
Cannot Compile, Maybe not enough classes defined or too few documents assigned to the classes
Cannot learn the BrainwareView: Default View
SERbrainware : Learn, learning error(7)
I tried changing the classification engine in the AP Package.sdp file and tried to classify the classes to the Brainware Classify engine Classification to pick the data.
Please, anyone help me in resolving this error.
Thanks & Regards,
Chandan, SYSTIME

Hi Eric,
Sorry I didn't give the full details. I am actually working for the Non-AP project which has no need of PO related fields. This Project is mainly for the Banking Statements.
And so, As per the project need I had to add a few custom fields to the existing AP Package in addition of removing some of the fields that AP Package has it in Designer. Or To create a new project from the scratch.
I tried adding custom fields to the existing AP Package and deleted the non required fields.
As you said, I did the same. I classified it to the Template Classify Engine and then added the Custom fields and removed the PO related fields. But This caused me error in the Script and also the error in learning Documents.
If possible can you send me your mailing address so that, I could send you the Snapshot of the error that, I got.
Thanks & Regards

Oracle Form recognition--Change required in Script{VB}

Hi all, I am trying to change the status of incoming invoices from ODC based on the priority{ 1,2,3,4,5}.
the script is available out of the box and I need to customize it, but I am not getting it.How to do this.
I have gone through the Oracle scripting guide for the same, but not getting much help from there.
I am new to Oracle Form recognition, please help!

Hi Tony,
In my previous reply, I was under the assumption that our organization was on the way to upgrate our Core application (on production) to Oracle 10g, well now I have found out that this is not possible, because our DBA's attempt to apply patches after installation of 10g has failed and we are not going to upgrade to 10g until a replacement for this system is put in place. This forces us to stay with Oracle 8i for some time to come. As a result, using client_host is no longer an option because as you know WebUtil only works with Orace 9i or later. Having said that, what should I try to use instead of 'Client_host'? I still would have to call a VB application from an Oracle Form 9.0.4.
Thank you in advance,
Seyed

I am currently working on Oracle forms recognition(OFR) . I downloaded OFR and the installation was perfect . In the downloaded OFR component dey have given a predefined AP Solution project for automating invoices , so i loaded that proj and started working on it with all the configuration settings mentioned in the AP_Installation guide .
Initially i started importing tiff images and it went on well generating xml file outputs , but after trying to import a pdf invoice file OFR is not able to recognize the fields .
So again i tried importing a tiff image to check whether OFR processes it corecltly unfortunaltely OFR Recognition Admin throws an error stating
" Import Step:Failed to add file D:OFR projects/AP/Import/sampleinvoice.tif"
it will be really helpful if anyone can help me fixing this error !!

to what is it attempting to add the file? did it fail with a batch open? did you restart the RTS? did you purge any files from the associated directories to clear the queue?

Oracle Forms on IBM Web Sphere Application Server and BEA Application Serv

Hi,
Can we run Oracle Forms on top of IBM web phere or Bea application servers?..
If possible, please give the steps that we need to follow to make it run on them

I've seen this asked before and the general repsonse was : don't do it , it's not worth the hassle. Apart from anything else you'll still have to pay the license fees for the Oracle Application server ....

Error in Oracle Forms Recognition (OFR)

In the Definition Mode when i click on the Fields TAB i get a pop up saying:
No Language detection defined for this project. There must be a Language detection engine selected for this project before you can edit the field.
Any pointers on this?
Regards,
Rohan

Hi Aditya,
I'm a complete newbie to OFR. The error pop-up is still occuring even after specifying the Language. This is what i did.
In the Definition Mode, I clicked on the Classes TAB, selected the Project file (*.sdp). Then in the Properties box in Projects TAB, I clicked on "OCR Settings" button in Document Recognition section.
It opened a new dialog box "General OCR Settings Properties". I went to the Recognition TAB and then to the Language TAB and i selected English as the used Language and saved it.
Please correct me if i'm wrong.
Also, how do i make sure that: " Ensure that the .sdp which was created has the language which was used."
The error pop up still occurs. Please let me know.
Regards,
Rohan

Oracle Forms 9i 1Z0-141 Exam Preparation

Hi,
I've cleared OCA developer 3 months back.
I m currently working on PL/SQL and Oracle Forms. Now i want to go for Forms Developer 1Z0-141 Certification Exam.
I m new to Oracle forms.Can any one suggest me up to what level i need to prepare for the exam.
I m very confused about the preparation for Oracle Forms .
Because for sql and pl/sql i was working on that technology so preparation was not a big issue
But i m new to forms so i need help.
Thanks in Advance

The following book is for 1z0-131/1z0-132 but is still probablly useful. However it is difficult and expensive to get hold of and any second hand editions may be without the cdrom:
Oracle Certified Professional: Building Internet Applications I & II Exam Guide: ISBN: 9780072193336
I believe the current oracle recommended training course is :
Oracle Forms Developer 10g: Build Internet Applications
I had a quick glance and could not seem to see a self study kit for this course.
Checking out the examination objectives is of course useful, and the contents of the recommended training course is also worth a look.
Hope this helps.

Storing an Excel File in the Oracle Table through Oracle Form (10g)

Hi,
We have the below requirement in the Oracle Forms (10g).
Database: 11g
Application: R12
We need to provide an upload functionality to the user, so that he can upload an excel file into the form (from the local system), this is achived.
Now what we need to do is that we need to capture the path of the document (in the local system) and we need to store the document in a Oracle table.
Next we need to validate the records that are being loaded and the error records should be written into one more file and that file also we need to store in an Oracle table, this is because, i need to query this error file from the table later and need to send to the user as an e-mail.
Basically i started off with the below code just for the POC. but iam facing the error. Please help. I did not put this code in my form.
Create Table Email_Attachments(Id_Pk Integer Primary Key,Fname Varchar2(50),Image Blob);
Create Or Replace Directory Temp As 'C:\';
Create Or Replace Procedure Load_File(Pi_Id In Integer, Pfname In Varchar2) Is

Src_File := Bfilename('TEMP', Pfname);
Insert Into Email_Attachments (Id_Pk,Fname,Image)
Values (Pi_Id,Pfname, Empty_Blob())
Returning Image Into Dst_File;
Dbms_Lob.Open(Src_File, Dbms_Lob.File_Readonly);
Lgh_File := Dbms_Lob.Getlength(Src_File);
Dbms_Lob.Loadfromfile(Dst_File, Src_File, Lgh_File);
Dbms_Lob.Close(Src_File);
Commit;
End;

How to capture the Path from which he has loaded the file?
How to Write the error records it to the file and store it in an Oracle table?
Will the below table be of use to me?
fnd_lobs_document
fnd_lobs
fnd_documents
Please share your ideas as to how to acheive this.
Thanks and Regards
Srinivas

When you want to process the file, them it depends on the format. "Excel file" is a term that is used for a variety of file formats, mostly simple CSV, binary (true) XLS and XLSX.
So to get help you have to give us more information. Since the file is already in the db you might get better answers at {forum:id=75}. The forum has a FAQ that has a whole section {message:id=9360007}.

Forms Recognition - Sizing

Hi,
Does any one have sizing metrics for Oracle Forms Recognition? I need to know how big has to be the server to process 12k pages per month (about 600 per day).
Thanks,

If you haven't already resolved this, you need to contact Oracle Sales to license your OFR (aka WFR) implementation. it is licensed by the processor.

Oracle Webcenter Forms Recognition A/P Project

Hi, I am new to OFR. I am using ODC and OFR for scanning and verifying the documents and have automated the complete process. However, I am required to generate reports based on OFR statistics such as documents Imported, OCR, Extract, Export, Vendor Analysis, Invoice Processed, etc. using Apex reporting application(application express). I have some scripts for creating reporting application in apex. It is been mentioned to execute those scripts using application builder, but after installing Apex I don't find any application builder unlike after installing the database 11g express edition. However, those scripts got successfully executed using Template Application in Apex, but am not able to use that application. All I need to do is run a URL for getting those reports based on ORF statistics, but I am not able to open the URL in web browser (error: error processing request - no data found). Can any help me on this or let me know if I am doing anything wrong?
Thank You

There is a sample non-AP project for Forms Recognition available though the Knowledge Base on My Oracle Support.
While this sample is not a 'tutorial' it does go some way to describing the process of creating a project from scratch, and provides a 'starting point' for doing that.
The Knowledge Base article containing the sample project is available here.
