Oracle Forms: Technical Documentation Generator Tool (FoReDoclet, HTML)

Dear Oracle Forms Developers,
Nostran Computing has released FoReDoclet, our technical documentation generator tool for Oracle Forms:
Technical features:
- Generates HTML documentation about form, menu, PL/SQL library and object library source files similarly to JavaDoc.
- Uses the Comment property of internal objects (blocks, parameters, alerts)
- Parses pl/sql elements (procedures, functions, packages, triggers) as well as standard internal elements.
- The generated HTML documentation is highly customizable by style sheets or direct template modification.
- Accepts HTML codes in Comments property fields and PL/SQL comment blocks.
Business benefits:
- Eliminates the need of writing separate technical documentation, works directly from the source.
- Provides a low-cost and efficient way of producing high-quality technical documentation for Oracle Forms based applications.

Migrating Oracle forms to APEX 3.2 without using Forms2XML tool

Can we migrate Oracle forms to APEX 3.2 without using Forms2XML tool?

Hi Anoo,
In order to convert Oracle Forms to Oracle Application Express, using the Forms Conversion utility in Oracle APEX 3.2, you are required to convert your Forms Module (FMB) files to XML format, using the Oracle Forms to XML conversion tool, Forms2XML. I would recommend that you review Chapter 4 [Converting an Oracle Forms Application|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14373_01/migrate.32/e13368/appmgr_forms.htm] , in the Oracle Application Express Migration Guide Release 3.2
If you have any further questions relating to the Oracle Forms to Oracle Application Express conversions, I would recommend that you refer to the [Application Express|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/forum.jspa?forumID=137] forum.
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Hilary

New features I like Oracle to include in Oracle Forms

I believe Oracle Form is the best tool to develop Database Application in Oracle Database. The weakness I see in Oracle Forms 10g may be its deployment as Java Applet. Java Applets are to be downloaded in the client browser, that's why it's not lightweight as PHP/ ASP/JSP scripting technology. So as a true web application it is not really handy.
Oracle provides JDeveloper/ Apex to accomplish that. But JDeveloper is very complicated to understand and Apex is rigid and you have little freedom on your user interface design, you cannot design a page as freely as you do in Adobe Dreamweaver for PHP. We as Form developer want oracle to develop a new development tool with following features:
1. Language will be PL/SQL.
2. There will be simple drag and drop interface design.
3. It will generate HTML/JSP page so that it can be light weight.
4. Provide a wide range of packages to accomplish javascripts/ajax while using PL/SQL language. Developer will just know what to do and by what technology javascripts/ajax, and accordingly invoke packages from withing PL/SQL editors.
5. Will have good old simple look in Form Development (JDeveloper is so complex and Apex is so shy in revealing it's features) while having same even better inner strength of developments.
6. Will require no client side tool like jinitiator or jre
7. Better and easy or even no use of web_util package but still accomplish file/image/spreadsheet access

Adding a toolbar to an existing Oracle form

Hi,
I am totally new to Oracle forms development. I have a couple of questions ->
1. Is it possible to add a new toolbar to an existing Oracle E-Business suite form e.g. the Contact Center form? According to the Oracle Apps developer guide, forms can be modified either “by extension” or “ by modification”. It doesn’t clearly say whether a new tool bar can be added or whether an existing one can be modified to add new buttons.
2. If I want to try out some of the stuff mentioned in the Oracle Apps developers guide and play around forms, what tools do I need? Is "Oracle Forms builder" the only tool availabe to edit and generate forms? If yes, does it come as a free download or can I get a trial version from somewhere?
Thanks.

Is "Oracle Forms builder" the only tool availabe to edit and generate forms? If yes, does it come as a free download or can I get a trial version from somewhere?You will need Oracle Forms 6i and/or some other SQL editor (i.e. SQL*Plus, TOAD, SQL Developer, ..etc).
You can download Oracle Developer 6i from:
Oracle Forms Developer for Windows

There is no trial version or software key required to use the tool.

Oracle.forms api

I need the oracle.forms api for javabeans development, but i am unable to find it.
I have the JDAPI api, thats not what i want.
( I have searched oracle.forms api & documentation on google but i am unable to find them.
the link : http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/oracle9i_arch_901.html
contains a lot of documentation files, but i am not sure these are the ones that i need.
some of the files there are over 200 mb. before dowloading such heavy files, i want to be sure that they are the ones i need!!!)
I want to use the following packages / classes :-
oracle.forms.handler.IHandler
oracle.forms.ui.*
oracle.forms.properties.ID
I want to find out more about the above mentioned packages, and i thought that javadocs / api would be the most comprehensive help that i can get.
I have downloaded a few javabeans that were close to my requirement, and was going through the java source codes, thats where i encountered these classes / packages.
I amd using forms 9i. and Jdeveloper 9i

You should ask the experts in the forms forum (Forms

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 ?

I generate file (PDF, HTML, etc) the report is empty but I run in paper

Hi
I use oracle Report10g
When I generate file (PDF, HTML, etc) the report is empty but I run in paper design show data, the report in the paper design show many pages, when generate file show only the information of the margin in the main seccion and the body is empty,
Thanks

Thanks Daniel for pointing that out. Though you answer is helpful but I am not sure if that is what I would want to do.
The link you provide for csv says "For each report there's an _report.xdo file that contains the XML structure of the report... " It suggests I modify the .xdo file for each report. I currently have 16 reports.
Does it mean I modify the .xdo file for all 16 and what happens if someone creates a 17th report ?
Also, what if I run the same report using different input parameters will that change the xml structure for the report and therefore will need me to modify the .xdo again ? (I think it should not change the xml structure so the answer should be "NO" to that, unless I change the structure of the report).
Finally, the link you provide says after doing what it suggest "Now log back into BI publisher and select the report. You should now be able to see that CSV is now an option."
CSV should be an option where ? on what screen/page ? Maybe PDF is already an option for me that I cant see because I do not know where that option is.
I was hoping there would be something I could do on the xdo_metadata sheet (in the data constraints section or elsewhere) OR in BI Publisher itself as some property of the report.
I will try out what you suggest any ways.

How to use Javascript in oracle forms

Hello Experts, I am new in Oracle forms using weblogic 10.3.5 with oracle forms 11g at windows 7.I have need to run a javascript code block inside my oracle form.Please suggest me that how can i do this.Actually I have need to validate my item field alike for email address for this I have to use Java script code. thank You regrads aaditya.

Hi
As Francois pointed out Oracle forms has nothing to do with html based technology. The way you can get the equivalent effect of creating consistancy in the way your objects are displayed is by creating a set of items you want and alter their apperance and behaviour and place them into object libraries (one library should do the trick). From there you subclass all of you forms items off these libraries.

Oracle Forms for the Helpdesk

Greetings, all
We are in the process of seeking an alternative to our Peregrine system. We really like Remedy, but since they are owned by Peregrine, we're reluctant to go with them. I've worked with Remedy in the past and am very happy with it.
I hears somewhere that Oracle Forms was a healthy alternative to Remedy. In fact, some said that the administration tools are very similar.
Does anyone out there have any information on these comparisons? Also, is anyone using Oracle Forms as a helpdesk tool?
Thanks

Don't know about Remedy - but Oracle Support use Forms as their call logging system.

Oracle Forms code review documentation tool?

To achieve an SEI Level-3 certification, one must do code reviews. Is there a tool for creating a document containing 'all the code' in an Oracle*Form v6.0?
We are basically looking for the equivalent of the old FORMDOC feature of Forms 4.0; it listed all the attributes of the blocks, items, record groups, triggers, pl/sql program units... everything!

Thanks... I looked at that and didn't think it was all in there, but I looked again after I got your reply and it appears to be what we are looking for (at least a starting point).
