Passing a parameter to a view from an Oracle Form ?

Hello,
Can I create a view on the database which takes a in a parameter from an Oracle form.
If yes then what is the syntx , please let me know.
Thanks
IQ

There are ways to simulate a 'parameterized view'.
Create your view and have it reference some value in an application context (look up in the manuals "application context feature").
Then from your Form, just prior to selecting from the view, make sure you set the value in your sessions' application context.

HOW TO PASS A PARAMETER TO UIX PAGE FROM APPS' FUNCTIONS FORM?

Hello,
We created a form function (in Sys Admin resp) for a UIX page. The Type field
is 'SSWA plsql function that opens a new window (Kiosk Mode)'. The HTML Call
field is 'POBarCode.uix'.
We have to pass the username (who logs in) to the UIX page. If we pass it
literaly, (e.g. POBarCode.uix?MyParam1=BBASTIN), it works. We tried following
two options to pass it as a variable in HTML Call field:
POBarCode.uix?MyParam1=fnd_profile.value('USER_ID')
POBarCode.uix?MyParam1=$PROFILE$.USERNAME
Both variable show up as is in the UIX page. How can we pass the username as a
variable on tHe HTML Call?
Thanks, Ali.

Hi guojun yu,
As per my understanding, you use parameters related to country and office UI langs as search condition in the report, you want to provide part of countries/office UI langs values as values of parameter, then all records will be displayed in the report.
In Reporting Services, parameters are used to filter data, after we selected values of parameter and preview the report, only data meets search condition will be displayed in the report. To display all records in the report, we need to use all values of
countries/office UI langs as values of parameter. For detail information, please refer to the following steps:
1. Create separate dataset for each parameter with the query like below:
Select distinct CountryRegion from TableName
2. In design mode, right-click Parameters and click Add Parameter.
3. In Parameter Properties dialog box, in name and prompt text box, type CountryRegion. Select Allow multiple values.
4. Click Available Values in left pane, select Get values from a query, select dataset from drop down list, select CountryRegion from Value field and Label field drop down list.
5. Create parameter @OfficeUiLang, @OsLocale, @IsMobile like step1 to 4 above.
6. Modify the stored procedure used to retrieve data for the report like below:
SELECT *
FROM AggregateDataByDate AllSessions
WHERE UserID != 'NULL'
AND CountryRegion in @CountryRegion
AND OfficeUiLang in @OfficeUiLang
AND OsLocale in @OsLocale
AND IsMobile in @IsMobile
AND [UsageDate] >= @DataCutOffDate
For detail information about Adding a multi-value parameter to a Report, please refer to the following document:

To call the callable statement use the below sample.
stmt = conn.prepareCall("{call <procedure name>(?,?)}");
stmt.setString(1,value);//Input parameter
stmt.registerOutParameter(2,Types.BIGINT);//Output parameter
stmt.execute();

Replication of database views/materialized views from big oracle to mobile client

Hi all,
Has anyone done a replication of a view or a materialized view
from big oracle to oracle lite? I can get replication of a
database table happening(although I cant seem to find the table
when I log into the odb using msql) but it just doesn't seem to
work with views(hence the path I have taken which is to use
materialized views). Anyone? Cheers

Hello,
Yesterday I met the same problem and very sad about this, however, my story is much more complicated (I think so).
I have 6 databases:
2 - 11g
2 - 10g
2 - 9i
Every database of each release has different characterset(UTF8 and AL16UTF16).
I am trying to create Materialized view with FAST REFRESH on Oracle 11g, when master tables are located on 10g database and 9i database.
Materialized view, which points to 9i database, was successfully created.
Materialized view, which points to 10g database, gets ORA-12028
Like you, I tried many notes from METALINK and thought at the begining that the problem is my characterset. But, when the materialized views were successfully built on Oracle 9i database, I understood that the problem is something else.
Did you find the actual reason why this issue does not work??
Thanks,
Alex

Procedure runs in SQL Plus, but not when called from my Oracle Form

Hi. I have this code to send an email alert as the user updates a record on my base table from my Oracle Form. I use dbms_scheduler so that it's submitted as a background job and so the email processing does not delay my Oracle Form from saving quickly. If I submit this code in SQL Plus it executes and I receive the email as expected.
begin
dbms_scheduler.create_job (
 job_name => 'IMMEDIATE_JOB',
 job_type => 'PLSQL_BLOCK',
 job_action => 'begin TTMS.dropperVacationConflict_Notify (62547, ''01-SEP-11'', ''02-SEP-11''); end;',
 number_of_arguments => 0,
 start_date => sysdate +1/24/59, -- sysdate + 1 minute
 enabled => TRUE,
 auto_drop => TRUE,
 comments => 'Immediate, one-time run');
end;However if I submit this code from a Post-Update trigger in my form the code runs without error, but my email is never received (the same parameter values would be passed to this trigger):
begin
-- Submit the email notification in the background so as to not slow down the screen while saving.
dbms_scheduler.create_job (
 job_name => 'IMMEDIATE_JOB',
 job_type => 'PLSQL_BLOCK',
 job_action => 'begin TTMS.dropperVacationConflict_Notify (:dropper_vacations.dropper_id, :dropper_vacations.begin_dt, :dropper_vacations.end_dt); end;',
 number_of_arguments => 0,
 start_date => sysdate +1/24/59, -- sysdate + 1 minute
 enabled => TRUE,
 auto_drop => TRUE,
 comments => 'Immediate, one-time run');
end; Any ideas why this might be happening?

Wow, so I changed the two procedures so that I'm only passing in one number parameter and one char parameter...
CREATE OR REPLACE procedure TTMS.job_vacationconflict_notify (p_dropper_id number, p_other char) IS
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE TTMS.dropperVacationEmailURL_new (in_dropper_id number, in_other char) ISIf I execute it like this it works and I get the email:
TTMS.job_vacationconflict_notify(62547, 99999);or like this it works and I get the email:
TTMS.job_vacationconflict_notify(62547, '99999');But if I execute it like this (I get no errors) the email is not sent:
TTMS.job_vacationconflict_notify(62547, 'ababa');So this problem really has nothing to do with date formats. It seems to have to do with whether parameter two has characters in it!!! What the heck.
Any ideas on this?
Here is the procedure I'm calling:
CREATE OR REPLACE procedure TTMS.job_vacationconflict_notify (p_dropper_id number, p_other char) IS
begin
dbms_scheduler.create_job (
 job_name => 'IMMEDIATE_JOB',
 job_type => 'PLSQL_BLOCK',
 job_action => 'begin TTMS.dropperVacationemailurl_new ('||p_dropper_id||','||p_other||'); end;',
 number_of_arguments => 0,
 start_date => sysdate +1/24/59, -- sysdate + 1 minute
 enabled => TRUE,
 auto_drop => TRUE,
 comments => 'Immediate, one-time run');
end;
/And the above procedure is calling this procedure which should be sending the email alert:

Calling a Database Procedure from an Oracle Form

Hi,
I have a question we will be calling the procedure from an Oracle form and through that can we pass like 1000 input values to this procedure and we need to return certain values back to the Oracle Form also. Here the proceduere take two or more parameters. Please advice.
To receive the input values we have the input parameter of the procedure as type object, so that we can receive multiple parameter values.
Thanks and Regards

Show the print dialog when running a report from an Oracle form.

I would like to be able to print an Oracle report from an Oracle form but
in addition show the print dialog. My PL/SQL code is shown at the bottom of this post.
I have set the 'printjob' system parameter to 'YES' in the
report and I can bring up a print dialog using the reports runtime.
However, as soon as I run it from my form I lose this capability. Setting
'printjob' to 'YES' in the code has no apparent effect.
Many thanks,
Ben

How to display a calendar from an Oracle Form?

When Microsoft Outlook is opened, is it possible to display the folder contining the user's calendar? What is the necessary code to do this?

Call an html help (*.chm) from an oracle form

we used to call a help file (oracle_dba_help.hlp) from an oracle form by using the following code .
Declare
Htype PLS_INTEGER;
Begin
Htype := WIN_API.HELP_CONTEXT;
WIN_API_SHELL.WINHELP('C:\oracle_dba_help.hlp','11',Htype);
End;
but when we used the html help(oracle_dba_help.chm) instead of help compiler(oracle_dba_help.hlp) it didn't accept
please give us a way to call html help from a form.

Thanks for the idea, but I can't switch the project to WebHelp. This .chm project consists of a master project with 18 slave projects and a slew of remote jumps. I'd have to recreate all of the remote jumps if I switch to WebHelp.
Hopefully Adobe can fix this issue.
Well, first off, even though it would be WebHelp, it would be inside a CHM container. So for all intents and purposes it would be a CHM file. But having said that, I'm not sure there is a way to merge these hybrid types of CHM files.
If your statement about Adobe fixing the issue is meaning that they can either remove the Print icon from the CHM Viewer, I wouldn't hold my breath because as I said, that's in Microsoft's lap and they haven't updated the CHM viewer in a long while. Doubtful they ever will.
The only hope would then be for Adobe to update the code used for the Mini TOC. The only way that will happen is if enough folks submit this as a bug via the following link:
http://www.adobe.com/go/wish
Until that would happen, your likely best bet is to simply avoid using the Mini-TOC feature or just insert a warning that if the topic is printed, it will cause issues. Or, you could use bookmarks and links to establish your own verision of a "Mini-TOC"

From an Oracle form, I want to read a text file.

From an Oracle form, I want to read a text file. In the form on a button press I have:
declare
in_file Text_IO.File_Type;

filename VARCHAR2(30);
BEGIN
filename:=GET_FILE_NAME('U:\ora_devl\pps\work\a.txt', File_Filter=>'Text Files (*.txt)|*.txt|');

Text_IO.New_Line;
END LOOP;
EXCEPTION
WHEN no_data_found THEN
Text_IO.Put_Line('Closing the file...');
Text_IO.Fclose(in_file);

It gets an ORA-302000. I suspect the problem starts with the GET_FILE_NAME because when I comment out everything but that, It processes endlessly never ending.

What can you tell me? Thanks

GET_FILE_NAME will try to open an "Open File" dialog on the server, which obviously can't happen. If you want to use that type of behavior you need to use WebUtil and the function CLIENT_GET_FILE_NAME. Example:
filename := CLIENT_GET_FILE_NAME('C:\', File_Filter=> 'Text Files (*.txt)|*.txt|All Files (*.*)|*.*|', dialog_type=> OPEN_FILE);Refer to the Builder Online help for more details. You can also refer to the demo which is available here:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/forms/downloads/index.html
More information here:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/forms/webutil-090641.html
Also, it appears that you are attempting to use a mapped drive ("U"). Although this can be made to work, it is not recommended and in some cases will not be supported. If you need access to remote files, you should use some other mechanism to bring the file to the local machine before manipulating it.

Printing formatted text from an Oracle form

I'm trying to print formatted text from an Oracle form without using the standard menu print. The print button on the menu prints out the text and the actual form. I just want to print the text that is displayed on the form. I would like to add a print button to the form. Is there a print function or event in PL/SQL?
Thanks in advance for any help!!
Jason

If you are interested in the content of the field you can loop over them (next_item built in) and write their content into a file using the TEXT_IO built in.
for nicer outputs check out Oracle Reports on OTN.
