Please help with Forms server and forms

Hi, all
I am new to oracle.
Mine is home PC and the spec. of the system are as follows.
database:Oracle 8i EE
Forms :6i
OS :Windows 2000
Yesterday I downloaded Oracle9iAS Server and followed the documentation in installing.
As per the documentation, I accepted default values in many cases and went thru with installation.
At the end of the installation, i got the following config(found at the bottom of the message).
Please give me steps in resolving the issues below.
Also,
when I run the "Run form from web" from Programs....
what if the web listener port is taken. how do we figure out if one is already in use and if so what are other ports available to me.
and finally in the same app. is "Web Host" the name of my computer on which I installed the Oracle server?
TIA
Shankar

Thanks, Vikas!
But I did a search for 6iServer.conf and did NOT locate any such file
Please help
TIA
SHANKAR
Shankar,
It would have helped if you had indicated what is the full version of 9iAS that you have installed. By default the portnumber that is used is 7778.
As per the entries, they should have already been made in the config files. But check that the 6iServer.Conf file and it should contain the entries that you are being told to update. If not, then add the entries in the 6iServer.conf file and that is all you need.
HTH.

Please help with submitting a pdf form

I've spend the last few days (literally) searching and searching - in this forum and across the web - for a SIMPLE solution to this problem and found nothing. Actually, I have found a few posts apparently trying to do the same thing I am, but with never a solution beyond "hire a programmer." Maybe I'm missing something obvious out there, and if so please feel free to throw tomatoes at me (along with a link I can get what I need - lol)
At this point I'm completely stumped - furthermore, I'm not a code guru in the slightest. In my research, I did find and buy a script that was supposed to do what I needed - but it doesn't so I'm still stuck and $50 in the hole.
Moving on, I realize this may be a rather low-tech request given the power of Adobe forms, but I have a client who wants it this way so that's the way it has to be. So, here we go...
My client wants his website viewers to complete an employment application pdf form and click <submit>
I have the form completely finished and ready to go
He then wants to receive that same completed form as a PDF document as an email attachment
He cares nothing about processing the form DATA (fields) becuase he simply wants to print the form and save it to his computer for future reference
However...
Most of the people viewing and completing this app are NOT computer savvy
In fact, many viewers use public computers (such as at a library) and have no email capabilities or the ability to save the form
So I cannot use the basic submit-by-email function (that requires a desktop email client)
So far what I've been trying to do (with the purchased script referred to above) is direct my <submit> button to the url of the php script on the client's server. If I select "html" in the (pdf) submit dialogue box, I do in fact get the DATA from the form in an email. But that's not what I need. If I select "entire pdf document" in the submit dialogue box, I get an error w/ the script.
In my research I've read that the form DATA can be sent to the server, then parsed back into a PDF form. This seems logical but unnecessary. Also this is an 8 page form with LOTS of data fields, some are required others are optional.
Is there ANY WAY to have the same form a viewer is filling out and submitting simply sent as an email attachment from the server the form is hosted on???

Yes, that's possible, and I have just the script...
Sorry, I couldn't resist.
I would suggest that the best approach is to set up the form to submit just the form data as an FDF file. This avoids the limitations associated with Reader-enabling the form, which is necessary for the entire filled-in form to be submitted. You mentioned that just sending the form data is logical but unnecesary, but this will be by far the most reliable method.
Now, you just need a server-side program (script) that processes the form submission. Here's what the script would do:
1. Accept the incoming data and check that it is a valid FDF.
2. Attach the FDF to an email message that gets sent to your client
The recipient of the email can launch the FDF attachment and the corresponding PDF will load and get populated with the data in the FDF. The filled-in PDF can then be viewed/printed/saved.

Please help with A record and MX record!

Guys please help - our IT guy disappeared and we changed the hosting over the weekend. He did setup exchange server for all the emails so now i am trying to recreate all the settings in bluehost for email and the bluehost is asking whats A record for our
Exchange server. Forgive me but i am not an IT guy... where do i find the A record for our exchange server? I would greatly appreciate it if somebody could point me into that direction.

If the DNS A record for mail.mydomainname.com is currently pointing to your Exchange server's external IP address then I would imagine that's setup correctly.
Name servers are those used to find out where to get the DNS records for a domain, eg it tells people doing a DNS lookup the address of your DNS server(s) so they can query them to find the required records. As such I'm unsure whether you actually mean name
servers or not.
Anything that ends in a .local address is definitely a local record, eg it is only used internally on your local network. On the internet there's no such thing as .local, so server1.mywebsite.local definitely wouldn't be the address you'd put into your public
DNS records. Do you mean that in Outlook when you look at the server address that you connect to collect email that it is displaying server1.mywebsite.local? If so then that's completely separate to where mail is delivered.
With the CNAME and MX records I'd suspect that they'd remain the same if they currently point to the mail.mydomain.com address, if they point elsewhere then you might well need to update them.
What confuses me is what is it that's been changed with your hosting? You say you've changed, and presumably bluehost are the new hosting company, but not what has changed to them. Do you mean the domain has transferred to them, or just the website, or your
internet access or something else?. You say that via the bluehost dns editor mail already points to mail.mydomainname.com, so it sounds to me as if the relevant records have already been setup and are working. Is email failing to be sent / received currently?

Hi!
Do you have a time machine backup? What you can try to do is a full restore on a testmachine or a VM and export the old keychain and import it into your broken server:

Can you please help with importing CDs and audio books?

I tried to search for this topic, but had no luck.
Have been happy with IPOD until today. On trying to import a new audio book to iTunes and then updating IPOD to install on it, I can see the title in both the iTunes Library and menu of IPOD. However, instead of seeing a normal 57:32 (or similar stop time), I am seeing 789:57:13.152. When I try to play it through iTunes or IPOD, it skips it as if it wasn't there and plays something else. I checked out importing a music CD, and find the same problem.
Appreciate any advice you can give.

let's first see if you can get the CDs to import normally if you switch off "error correction" in the iTunes Advanced-Importing preferences subtab.
but if no joy there, try checking through the other suggestions from the following document:

Please help with flascomm server plan

Hello
I need to broadcast with flashcomm an event for about 150-200
users (I get
the signal from a TV tuner and I send it to Flashcomm
server). Currently I'm
using Uvault (www.uvault.com) servers but I don't get the
results I'd like.
The problem is uvalt gives me up to 5 Mbs of peak bandwidth
(I have hired
Flash Media Server Plan 4) and I need a real-time streaming
of the signal,
so I'd like to be advised what should I do to get real-time
streaming.
Should I hire a Flash Video Plan to Uvault (I really don't
know how does it
work) or shuold I hire a plan with any other company. Could
you tell me
about other companys that can offer me a higher bandwidth to
get the real
time streaming I need?
Thank you everybody

If you are talking about their shared Flash Media Server plan
then that
could be the problem: it is shared and you are subject to the
server dealing
with other users and demand peaks. Perhaps looking at a
dedicated plan is
the way to go.
You might look over the hosting list at

Please help with "while" "charAt" and "length"

i'm trying to write a program that counts the number of each vowel in an inputed string of characters. i'm using a "while" statement, not a "for" statement, and i'm using a switch statement inside the "while"
i'm having trouble getting the while statement right and i'm also struggling with using charAt and length.
here's what i have so far:
import cs1.Keyboard;
public class mdlprog5
public static void main(String[] args)
String textLine;
int aCount = 0;
int eCount = 0;
int iCount = 0;
int oCount = 0;
int uCount = 0;
int nonVowel = 0;
int charPosition = 0;
char currentChar;
System.out.println ("Enter a line of text.");
textLine = Keyboard.readString();
while (textLine.charAt(charPosition) < textLine.length())
currentChar = textLine.charAt(charPosition);
switch (currentChar)
case 'A':
aCount = aCount + 1;
charPosition++;
break;
case 'E':
eCount = eCount + 1;
charPosition++;
break;
case 'I':
iCount = iCount + 1;
charPosition++;
break;
case 'O':
oCount = oCount + 1;
charPosition++;
break;
case 'U':
uCount = uCount + 1;
charPosition++;
break;
default:
nonVowel = nonVowel + 1;
charPosition++;
anybody have any idea what i'm doing wrong??
thanks in advance for your help

venumadhavA,
i don't understand what you're saying. could you
please elaborate?
Sudha,
thanks for the idea, it worked great!This is more precise and is what enumadhavA suggested,
import cs1.Keyboard;
public class mdlprog5
public static void main(String[] args)
String textLine;
int aCount = 0;
int eCount = 0;
int iCount = 0;
int oCount = 0;
int uCount = 0;
int nonVowel = 0;
int charPosition = 0;
char currentChar;
System.out.println ("Enter a line of text.");
textLine = Keyboard.readString();
textLine = textLine.toUpperCase();
while (charPosition < textLine.length())
currentChar = textLine.charAt(charPosition);
switch (currentChar)
case 'A':
aCount = aCount + 1;
break;
case 'E':
eCount = eCount + 1;
break;
case 'I':
iCount = iCount + 1;
break;
case 'O':
oCount = oCount + 1;
break;
case 'U':
uCount = uCount + 1;
break;
default:
nonVowel = nonVowel + 1;
charPosition++;
Hope this works fine.

Please help with creating a functional form..

Hi world,
I have been able to create a working and functional form using Adobe LiveCycle Designer which others can view and complete as a pdf. I added a button to where it can be emailed to anyone.
My question is: The email that automatically is generated currently says
Form Returned: ProjectInquiryForm test.pdf
The attached file is the filled-out form. Please open it to review the data.
And of course there is a pdf attached. Is there any way to edit this language??
I am a technology novice so if anyone has step by step or easy instructions it would be greatly greatly appreciated!
Thanks so much,
Jennifer

Thank you for your help. I was able to create the form, and add the email button functionality, etc. One last question, The email currently says
Form Returned: ProjectInquiryForm test.pdf
The attached file is the filled-out form. Please open it to review the data.
And then has the pdf attached. Is there any way to edit this language?
Thanks again!

Please, help with text field on form

Hello,
I am creating a form. I have a text field where the person will type a number into text field and I need it to also enter in another text field. For example, the person enters 23 into text field 12, I also need the entry of text field 12 to show up in text field 63. Is this possible? I'm VERY new to this, so a step by step response would be greatly appreciated!
Thank You!!!
Debby

This requires a script as you have to first verify that the denominator is not blank or zero, or you'll get an invalid operation.
Something like this should work as the custom calculation script of your field:
var s1 = this.getField("Text2").valueAsString;
var s2 = this.getField("Text3").valueAsString;
if (s1!="" && s2!="" && Number(s2)!=0) event.value = Number(s1)/Number(s2);
else event.value = "";

Please help with speed issues and powerline adapte...

Hello all,
I have had infinity for a few months now and I am very unhappy with the quality of service so far, I wont go into that however,
the problems I currently have are:
speed dropped from 76.8Mbps down to 34.6Mbps within a week of going live, they have replaced my HH3 twice to try and remedy this but its still the same, anything you can recommend?
as for the powerline adapters, i bought 2 extra when I took out my infinity package, all 4 have failed twice, they have been replaced aswell, received a new set this morning to install and they don't work!
When I set them up I get the green data light and green power light, however once I plug the Ethernet cables in, the data lights go off after around 10sec,
no matter how many times I reset and marry them its the same output, then maybe they will work for around 10-15 minutes and then go off again.
I have 4 adapters in use ATM
2 for vision and 2 for my computer
bt sent me 2 different models for some reason
I have the white simpler networks ones, 2 have black writing and 2 have orange,
sorry for the essay but from the experience I have had from BT so far I am not impressed
thankyou for any help in advance
regards

The 200mbps refers to the theoretical duplex speed and not the actual connection speed. In ideal conditions the actual is about 70 to 80mbps for the 200 adapters. So therefore most of the time in normal conditions they connect at a much lower speed.
That's what I meant, hence why would you get 500Mbps ones if they ain't going to reach unless you're going to have your house wiring upgraded if the speed is rubbish. Didn't mean to be rude xD

Writers - please help with page layout and headers/footers in Pages

Hello
Apologies if this is a stupid question, but I have fiddled around with my page layout and can't figure this out for myself!
When I type a manuscript, I like to have a header and footer giving the book title, chapter, my name, etc. I'm finding that the header and footer is set to a wider range than I have set the main body of the page. Would you leave it that way, so that it is easily differentiated from the actual text, or would you align the left and right margins on the header and footer to match the body of the text? And if so, how do you do this please?
Secondly, I can't figure out how to increase the top and bottom gap so that there is a good space between the header and the first line of text.
Any advice would be gratefully received!
Thank you!

I don't understand what you did.
When we use the normal tools:
Inspector > Document > Margins, the widths of header, body and footer are the same.
Secondly, I can't figure out how to increase the top and bottom gap so that there is a good space between the header and the first line of text.
With the already named tools, we may adjust top & bottom margins with no change on the header & footer.
As I often wrote, looking in the PDF User Guide which is delivered with every copy of iWork is an efficient way to spare time.

Please help with RTAV files and Telecini import

Hello,
I am trying to archive old 16mm films. I purchased a telecini and i am importing in to a Panasonic DVD video recorder and burning on to DVD. I am not sure this is important. The challenge I have is that when I put the DVD in my Powerbook g4 it opens the DVD and reads as a RTAV file. When I open the RTAV file the file is empty. I have never experienced this before and I don't even know what an RTAV file is. Please excuse my ignorance if this is basic.
The second question I have is....I would like to import from the telecini directly in to Imove. My powerbook does not recognize the telecini which I expected. I think I need software to recognize the telecini and bridge to Imovie. Any suggestions?
Thanks!!!
Carla

The Panasonic dvd-corder is one of the rare devices, which allow aside the 'standard' dvd-r/w usage of socalled DVD-Ram.. which creates RTAV files.. and which are NOT readable by your Mac (=empty) ..
so, to solve your rtav problem, use 'normal' dvd-r/+r/-rw or +rw .. (I like re-writable disks for 'transport' issues.. after transfer, erase and re-use them) ...
I guess, your telecini (cozy name ) device offers an analogue output.. if you have a manufacturers site url, post it here, maybe we find some additional info .. if so, you need a converter device, whch converts from analogue to digital.. there are some devices, Canopus, EyeTV which are supported by iM ...
finally: I would let do the conversion by some professional service, which allows 'transfer' to miniDV .. best quality and best compatibility..
ahh, forgot to mention: and if you use dvd-r in your Panasonic instead of DVD-Ram, to convert such stuff, the usual reply is....... :
DVDs are in a socalled delivery format (mpeg2), which isn't meant and made for any processing as editing...
for using the iLife apps, you have to convert'em first, in recommended order, choose one of the following tools/workarounds:
DVDxDV (free trial, 25$, Pro: 90$)
Apple mpeg2 plugin (19$) + Streamclip (free)
VisualHub (23.32$)
Drop2DV (free, requires installation of ffmpeg parts, google for it...)
Cinematize >60$
Mpeg2Works >25$ + Apple plug-in
Toast 6/7/8 allows converting to dv/insert dvd, hit apple-k
connect a miniDV Camcorder with analogue input to a DVD-player and transfer disk to tape/use as converter

Please Help With Keychain Access and Safari Passwords!

Hello,
I would like to take advantage of the capabilities that Keychain Access has to offer... I like how it can store passwords from websites. I have stored several website passwords in Keychain Access and currently have it set to where it asks for my keychain password when first opening Safari, and then it automatically fills in my passwords that are stored in Keychain Access in the corresponding websites. However, when I close Safari completely, the next time I open Safari it already has my passwords filled in, without asking for my keychain password. The only way I have found to make Safari ask for my keychain password every time it is opened is to select "lock all keychains" in Keychain Access. It is a pain to have to open Keychain Access every time I close Safari in order for Safari to ask for my keychain password again. Is there a more simple way to make Safari ask for my keychain password everytime I open Safari?

Hi, okwildthing. Welcome to the forums!
Try this:
Open Keychain Access and find "Safari Forms AutoFill" in the list. Double-click it and go to the "Access Control" tab. (You may need to enter your keychain password at this point.) Remove Safari from the "Always allow access by these applications" list. Press "Save Changes."
Does this get Safari to do what you want it to do?

Please help with backing up and updating on Lacie external HD

hello,
This is my first time to use an external HD. I am mainly using it to back up photos, music, bookmarks, fonts, address book and movies. Once I get everything on the external hd, how does one go about updating periodically? Do I have to manually update every category? There isn't a way that you can tell the computer to update the files is there? I have heard from some people that you can schedule updates. The Lacie website or user guide has no info on updating!
Sorry to be asking such dumb questions, but I really don't understand how the update process works. Thanks!

Cathy:
Nice going. Backing up is the best thing you can do for your data. I suggest that you make a bootable clone of your entire HDD rather than backing up individual files. In that way you will have a current backup, as well as an emergency boot drive and you can boot from the external drive and run diagnosics and repairs on your internal HDD.
First you need to format your HDD. It it is larger than you internal HDD, I suggest that you partition it so that the first partition is approximately the size of your internal HDD, and the other partition you can use for whatever. Dr. Smoke's FAQ Backup and Recovery has excellent tips on backup. He uses Retrospect, which I have found difficult to use. As suggested by the previous poster, SuperDuper and Carbon Copy Cloner are the cloning utilities of choice. There are differences, but the main difference which impacts you immediately is that to be able to make regular updates of your clone you will need to register SuperDuper ($28), while Carbon Copy Cloner is donation ware.
Here are step by step directions for formatting and partitioning your extnernal HDD:
Formatting, Partitioning Erasing an External HDD
• Connect external HDD to computer
• Turn on external HDD
• Start up computer and log in
• Go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility and launch DU.
• Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in left side bar.
• Select Partition tab in main panel.
• Select number of partitions in pull-down menu above Volume diagram.
For more partitions than one, after you have selected the number of partitions adjust the size of the partition by selecting the top partition and typing in the size; then move down if more adjustments need to be made.
(See Dr. Smoke’s FAQ Backup and Recovery for tips on partitioning external HDD)
• Type in name in Name field (HD Backup, or whatever you want to call it)
• Select Volume Format as Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
• Click Partition button at bottom of panel.
• Select Erase tab
• Select the sub-volume (indented) under Manufacturer ID
• Check to be sure your Volume Name and Volume Format are correct.
• Click Erase button
• Repeat above procedure to erase each partition
• Quit Disk Utility.
Once you have formatted your HDD, now you are ready to clone your internal HDD to it.
Creating a Clone using Carbon Copy Cloner
• Connect external HDD to computer
• Download and launch Carbon Copy Cloner
• Select a Source. This will normally be the Disk which you want to backup
• If you wish to backup/clone only your Users Folder or other folder click on the checkbox. If you want to copy the entire HDD, check Macintosh HD.
• Select a Target. This will normally be your external HDD, (or, if you so decide, you can backup/clone to a Disk Image on the external HDD.)
• Cloning Options: for the first time you should backup everything. For updating your backup you should select Incremental backup of selected items.
• If you want your clone to be an exact copy of the original you should check the box to Delete items not on the original.
• Click Clone
Clone Old HDD to new HDD using SuperDuper
• Format external HDD (see directions above)
• Connect external HDD to computer
