Oracle Terminal problem

I have a problem running Oracle Terminal in command-line mode on Linux. I am very familiar with Oracle Terminal on Windows, but not with Linux. Unfortunately, I need to support Oracle Forms6i on Linux in character mode for the hand-held, wireless, bar-code scanners we use in our warehouse. They have a very limited keypad and we want to change a couple of the default key mappings for Oracle Forms6i on Linux.
I opened a TAR on this issue (3595315.999) a couple weeks ago, but so far it has not been resolved.
Does anyone know where to find documentation for running Oracle Terminal for Forms6i on Linux in character mode?
Or, does anyone know if the conversion utilities exist for Windows to convert the Oracle Terminal resource files from binary to text and vice versa. I have these utilities for Linux, but not for Windows. If I could get those for Windows, I could transfer the Linux resource file to Windows, edit it there and transfer it back.

It's look like a joke. When I change NLS_LANG from POLISH_POLAND to AMERICA_AMERICAN in Developer Home everything start fine with English menu but... work heeehhhh........
Thx For Right Direction :)))

Oracle*Terminal configuration problem for Web deployment

Hello everyone!
I am a novice in using Oracle Forms 6i. I installed a Forms 6i Developer and Server at Windows 2000, the same machine where 8.1.6 Server is running (of cource I installed DB server and Developer in different Oracle_Home's).
Everything seems to be going well while trying "Client-Server" model. But I can not suceed in deploying forms to the Web. For example when I try "Run a form on the Web" standard option, after I try to run a standard test form (test.fmx), I get another Browser (IE5) window opened, then an applet loads and after that I get a Java-form inside of IE5 window with red bell picture and an error message: "Error while opening Oracle*Terminal file fmrweb."
Can anyone help me with an advise what to do in such situation?
Thank you in advance
Alexander Ilin

I can't answer the specific problem about the test, but the resource file is set up as follows:
The html file that invokes the Forms applet has a server argument showing where the terminal key-mapping file is stored on your forms server. In your case it appears to be looking for fmrweb.res and can't find it.
Take a look at the html and find the path it is using to look for it (I think you'll find this in the ServerArgs parameter). Then make sure the file is there on your Windows 2000 server.
If it isn't there, do a search for it in the server's Oracle_home directory, and then copy it to the directory where it is expecting it. Along with fmrweb.res, you can also use fmrpcweb.res - just replace fmrweb.res in your html file.
Hope that helps.

Problem changing default key bindings using Oracle Terminal

Hello,
I'm facing a problem changing default key bindings using Oracle Terminal. I changed
some bindings, saved them in forms60/fmrusw.res, started the generation and saved again.
I thought that's it but it wasn't. It took no effect at all in Forms (even after recompilation) although reopening the file in Terminal showed the changes. I'm using Forms in German, which means that even the key bindings displayed in Forms are translated i.e. STRG+F1 instead if CTRL+F1,
but I can't find a german version of this resource file, so i think it's the same resource file for all supported languages. But what is needed for the changes to take effect ?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
is it client/server you are working?
if so you should not be using the fmrusw.res file because I guess your NLS_LANG is German_Germany.WE8ISO8859P1 or something like that. This means the terminal that is being opened is fmrdw.res instead of fmrusw.res and this file should be edited using Oracle Terminal.
if you are working via the web implementation than you can open the file fmrweb.res in a text editor and change the keybindings in there. If you need to have the PC like key bindings on the web just open the fmrpcweb.res and see if it contains the German texts. If so you can either copy this file over the frmweb.res file or you can specify term=fmrpcweb.res in the serverargs parameter.
Hope this helps.
Kind regards,

Database termination Problem

Hi every body ..plz help me on this..
We are facing database termination problem in ECC6 production syste.
Database: Oracle 10.2, O/S: Windows 2003. Spam :27, SP level 13.
Error is:
Errors in file f:\oracle\p02\saptrace\background\p02_ckpt_6520.trc:
ORA-00206: error in writing (block 3, # blocks 1) of control file
ORA-00202: control file: 'D:\ORACLE\P02\ORIGLOGB\CNTRL\CNTRLP02.DBF'
ORA-27072: File I/O error
OSD-04008: WriteFile() failure, unable to write to file
O/S-Error: (OS 33) The process cannot access the file because another process has locked a portion of the file.
When we are performing backup then data base termination occuring freequently.
Give right solution as early as possible.
Thanks,

Hi,
Have a look at below snote which actually speaks about the oracle error codes
Snote : 546006
within the Snote it says :-
" If you cannot access a database file (for instance a data file, control file or RedoLog) for whatever reason, an ORA-270xx appears. The actual cause comes from additional error messages (usually in the operating system) that occur on ORA-270xx. "
And as per your last update
" ORA-00206: error in writing (block 3, # blocks 1) of control file
ORA-00202: control file: 'D:\ORACLE\P02\ORIGLOGB\CNTRL\CNTRLP02.DBF' "
i think there is problem accessing the database control file. Hence you are facing the above problem.
I think if you recreate your control file i think, it should resolve the problem.
Hope it will be helpful to resolve your problem.

Oracle Terminal, how can i simulate this setting into all client places

Hi friends,
i did setting at ORacle Terminal for ESC button to exit_form. it is ok working fine. i have his application installed into several client places, so, in all this places do i ahve to install Oracle terminal and change the key mappings or is any common registry setting i can add into the registry key, by copying FMRUSW.res file into my application folder,
i do have all my icons in my aplication folder and i add a registry key UI_ICON = 'myfloder', is there any possibility like this.
Thanks in advance

That is one of the big problems with client/server forms. You have to install your FMRUSW.res on every machine running your application, or at least on a file server where the runforms software gets the fmx files.
Changing the resource file is not something you want to do on a regular basis.

Error Opening Oracle Terminal File fmrweb.

I installed 9IAS portal and the forms/reports server. The portal works fine, but when I try the 'Run Form Web ( runform.htm)' I get an error "Error opening Oracle*Terminal file fmrweb." The file does exist in my c:\oracle\806\forms60 directory and my FORMS60_PATH is set to c:\oracle\806\forms60 as well. Anybody having ( had ) similar problems? Note: 8.1.7, portal, and formsserver installed on the same Win 2000 machine. No Oracle apps. Thanks in advance.

Hi Christian,
It's probably working because you're now using fmrweb.res instead of the foobar fmrwebdk.res. Just look out for that missing quotation mark :)

Oracle Terminal, key mapping

Hi everyone,
This is my problem, I would like to use KEY-Fn triggers. I used Oracle Terminal to change my Fmruws.res file but I think that It is not enough because they don't work at all. I know that F10 fire KEY-COMMIT but what can I do with the rest of them?
Thanks by advance,
EVA
EVA.

You can write Key-Others trigger at Form level. This will suppress all other Function triggers except for F10 for which it will fire Key-Commit trigger which you have already written.
The other use of Key-Others trigger is that, say for example, if you want to show LOV by pressing F3 key instead of its default F9 key, you can write the code on Key-Dupitem trigger at Form level. That way if you press F9 key it won't show you the LOV.
Thanks.

Where is Oracle Terminal

This question was asked before, but I did not see the answer.
Where can I find Oracle Terminal for Developer 6.0?

You should find the Oracle Terminal OT60.exe in
Oracle Home\BIN\OT60.EXE
If you cannot find it, you can copy this file from your CD-ROM of Developer 6.0.
I had same problem before.
Hope this can help you.

Weird Terminal problem with AIX

Hi,
I have kind of an odd problem with the Terminal.app that I hope someone can assist me in figuring out.
I'm connecting to an AIX 5.3 server and the top portion of the window is always "cut off". It's there, it's just one screen up in the buffer and I can't figure out why. I can connect with iTerm and things display appropriately.
Below is a link to a side by side picture of Terminal.app (left) and iTerm (right). If I scroll up in the Terminal.app buffer, I can see the missing lines from the top of the screen.
http://picasaweb.google.com/andy.black10/Misc#5407855064094337554
Thanks,
Andy

Minor point: would you please fill in your Forum profile information, at least the Mac OS X operating system version.
I'm currently using Leopard and I can reproduce this problem in Terminal vs iTerm. I used your script output (thank you) in order to generate the escape sequences.
BY THE WAY, if the script output contains any sensitive login info, you might want to change your password on the Pharamcy OSU system
It looks like there is a Terminal problem handling Scrolling Regions as set by <esc>[1;24r. It looks like <esc>[0J is not erasing from the current cursor position to the end of the display, but rather it starts the erase above the current cursor position. The erase behavior without a scrolling region appears better, but not perfect.
I would encourage you to file a bug with Apple at either:
<http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html>
or
<http://bugreporter.apple.com>
Free ADC (Apple Developer Connection) account needed for BugReporter
The BugReporter would be better.
If you want, I have a little script that can be used to demonstrate the problem
#!/usr/bin/env bash
echo -e "e[1;24re[He[0Je[He[0Je[?6he[1;24re[He[0Jc"
for j in {1..3}
do
echo BEFORE should remain on screen $j $j $j $j $j
done
for j in {4..23}
do
echo FILLER should be erased $j $j $j $j $j
done
echo -e "e[4;24re[He[0Jc"
for j in {4..23} # our next command prompt will be 24th line
do
echo AFTER should remain on screen $j $j $j $j $j
done
Here is example output from Terminal:
BEFORE should remain on screen 1 1 1 1 1
AFTER should remain on screen 4 4 4 4 4
AFTER should remain on screen 5 5 5 5 5
AFTER should remain on screen 6 6 6 6 6

Oracle terminal

Hi,
In D2K, F7 Function key is performing particular task of setting the current form in enter_query mode. I want to overide this function, how can I do that?
I read on net that using oracle Terminal we can do this but where to Oracle Terminal.
Thanks in Advance
Praveen Kr. Arora

Oracle Terminal is to deep.
You can change this in your forms. Create a trigger KEY-ENTQRY. All F7 's are going through this trigger and can be handled. Create it on form-level, so each trigger in each block is redirected in this trigger through your new functionality.
try it

Installing Oracle Terminal on a NT 4.0 station

We need to install oracle terminal, in order to map the page up and page down keys. The product isn't available on the install list. Has anyone else install oracle terminal in a windows environment or is there another way to map the up/down keys?

I did this but when I run the ot60.exe it says "ot: cannot find the application startup file.". Could you please tell me how to install this Oracle Terminal properly? Thanks.
Mandy
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Duncan Mills:
You may still need terminal if you are talking about Client Server key mappings.
In certain versions of the Developer CD Terminal was not available on the product list when you did a custom install.
To work around this simply copy the files manually from the CD:

and
OTUSW.RES & OT.HLP to your TOOLS\COMMON60\ directory<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Windows code for Ctrl+Q in Oracle Terminal

Hello!
We use Forms6i and Windows 95 OS and
in our forms people usually use CapsLock
to type info in upper case and some times
they can't use Exit button (Ctrl+q) because of this. That is why we would like to create
another one Key Binding Definition in Oracle Terminal with Action "Exit" and Binding
"Contol+Q". Did anybody try to define repeated Actions? Is it possible? And,
actually, the main quesion is - where can we
find windows codes for different combinations of keys?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance,
Andrew.

Andrew,
You don't need any window codes to do this.
Just do the following:
a) run Oracle Terminal (you'll have to do a Custom Install if you don't have it installed.
b) open %ORACLE_HOME%\forms60\fmrusw.res
c) Choose Functions->Edit Keys.
d) Doubleclick the "Runform" circle.
e) Click in the "Exit" line.
f) Click the "Duplicate Row" button.
g) Change Control+q to Control+Q.
h) Ok, OK, Functions->Generate.
i) File->Save, File->Exit.
And if you were running Forms6i on the Web, it would be much simpler (the res file for Web is an ascii file).
Hope this helps,
Pedro
