Please point me to the forms 9.0.4.2 deployment guide
Hello, I found a deployment guide for forms 9.0.2 (B10170_1.pdf) dated 2002, but I'll be darned if I can find a more recent version. Is there an updated version for forms 9.0.4.2?
We will be deploying to OAS running on a SUN unix box.
Thanks,

How does general web public email the form using reader only
After producing a form in Designer no one was able to email the filled in form back. Is there some very basic step I missed? I had a submit button with my email address entered yet everyone with reader was unable to get the form emailed. If I didn't miss something I guess I don't see the point of creating the form if you need a full version to respond.....
I did upgrade one of the testers to Reader 7 and it worked. I may have to save the form in two files one for 7 and one for Reader6. The submit by email did function but I had also changed the button and used the one from the Library and set the address to mailto:myemailaddress. What that did was return a .tmp file. So I dragged in a default button from a new file and that corrected it - that one seems to not have the 'mailto' prefix and must have some built in coding to return the data in XML.
Submiting the data to a server doesn't make much sense unless you have some method of getting the data from the server. Is there such a method built into this program or does that require additional coding? -
I created a pdf form and then imported it to Forms Central for distribute. It is now loaded to my website and setup so a person clicks on the link to open the form. At this point they then have to go to upper right to open form using a different view. I would like the form to open directly in Adobe Reader form to make it easier to enter information. Thanks, Ike
If you created it in Forms Central, you have to edit it there. I believe Forms Central is similar to LiveCycle Designer in that the form created is no longer able to be edited in Acrobat. I might be wrong, but that is my understanding. You add the submit button in Forms Central. Within Acrobat, you should be able to go to the forms menu and Manage Data to save the data to an Excel file. Others better with forms should be by to clarify things, but this should get you started. In the future you might find it better to post a forms question in the forms discussions.

Hi, I need a video editing software for my Power Mac G5 system. Hunted all over for one! Can anyone help me and point me in the right direction. Everything I come across is for intel based systems. Many thanks in advance.
I have Final Cut Studio V1 - the PPC/Intel V5/5.1 cross-grade version, which would suit your requirements perfectly. (I have it for sale at present down here).
If you keep looking, you're sure to find a similar second hand copy in your area, without the need to upgrade your graphics card.
I'd go for Final Cut Pro as above over any version of Express. FCP has the full version of LiveType - not the truncated version that was released later on. -
How to Install the Forms and Reports 6i in Ubuntu 6.06 LTS
Dear All,
I need to install Forms and Reports 6i in Ubuntu 6.06 LTS.
I had downloaded the d2k6irelease2.tar also and extracted the tar file.
I don't know how to start up with the installation further., Is there any document available for the installation process inubuntu.. or what are the steps that i need to follow to make it work..?
Many thanks in advance...Hi,
Here's the Forms and Reports Services Deployment Guide for OAS 10g 10.1.2:
http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_11/web.1012/b14032/toc.htm
You will need to modify your default.env to point to the directory where your .fmx is located and formsweb.cfg to run the specific form, e.g. foo.fmx (default is test.fmx).
HTH,

Icons are not visible when the form is run
I develop a form with only a push button. I developed form using oracle 10DS. I have saved my form in application server. To see an icon in my button, i did the following things:
1. In application server i made a jar named test.jar. It consists of just two gif images.
2. I copied this jar in application server's \forms90\java directory
3. I configured formsweb.cfg file as the following.
4. my \form90\java\oracle\forms\registry\registry.dat is as the following.
whenever i run form i can not see icon but in client's oracle jar cache jar is downloaded.

# formsweb.cfg defines parameter values used by the FormsServlet (f90servlet)
# This section defines the Default settings. Any of them may be overridden in the
# following Named Configuration sections. If they are not overridden, then the
# values here will be used.
# The default settings comprise two types of parameters: System parameters,
# which cannot be overridden in the URL, and User Parameters, which can.
# Parameters which are not marked as System parameters are User parameters.
# SYSTEM PARAMETERS
# These have fixed names and give information required by the Forms
# Servlet in order to function. They cannot be specified in the URL query
# string. But they can be overriden in a named configuration (see below).
# Some parameters specify file names: if the full path is not given,
# they are assumed to be in the same directory as this file. If a path
# is given, then it should be a physical path, not a URL.
# USER PARAMETERS
# These match variables (e.g. %form%) in the baseHTML file. Their values
# may be overridden by specifying them in the URL query string
# (e.g. "http://myhost.mydomain.com/servlet/f90servlet?form=myform&width=700")

I tried many times. But could not be successful. Then I just kept my icons in
\forms90\java directory without making jar. In my form, icon file name is the icon name without extension. Here, i can see my icon in button. but if i replace an icon
without changing the name of the icon, then i always see the old icon. The new icon, i can not see.
Please, help me with only Oracle 10g AS how i can see icon in button. Let's assume, there is not oracle 10g DS (any development tool) in the machine where the form is run.
Please, guide me clearly step by step so that i might be successful.
Thanks.
TKARIMThanks Bernard,
It works fine with JInitiator but not working with
the JPI. For JPI what settings I need to do ??hi TKARIM and Bernard, i am having similar problem even with the Bernard's recommended setup. could you post the webutiljini.htm (i presume you are using config=test) ?
i am actually using jinitiator 1.3.1.28 with Oracle HTTP Server of OAS 10gR2) calling Forms Server 6i (f60cgi). After setting up according to Bernard's recommended setup steps, the java console showed that it loaded the icon jar file when it could not read the form, but it skipped the loading of the icon jar file once it read and started the form. How do we specify in the form to pick up the icon from the jar file instead from a directory ? Or do we need to specify ? Any ideas ?
Thx and Regards

How to hide the Form Feed char in JTextArea
We have reports (written in C) that are being displayed in a JTextArea.
In our old app, the Form Feed character (ASCII 12) was invisible naturally without having to code around it. In a JTextArea, it appears as a "[]" character. Does anyone know how to make this character invisible to the JTextArea? Removing it is not an option, as it is needed for it's print routine.
I've been searching these forums and the web all morning with no luck.Not sure how the Form Feed character worksIt lets the printer know that a new page is to be started at that point.
Does it always appear with the New Line character?Usually but not always.
Thanks for the reply. It's more involved than just printing standard lines of text, so perhaps I should have been more clear.
The C report already has pagination built in from when it was run from our legacy GUI. In other words, each report knows how many chars wide and how many lines down each page will be. It is different for each report, but they all hover around 150 chars wide and 60 lines down per page, since they are all presented to the user (and printed) in landscape.
In the C code: at the end of each report line a "\n" is appended. At the end of each page, an ASCII 12 character is appended. A header is at the top of each page (different for each report, but usually 2 or 3 lines) that shows the page # and other info.
So, as you are viewing the report, you would see page 1 header, some report content, page 2 header, some more report content, page 3 header, etc. as you scroll down.
So now if you view it in Java: if the user wishes to print, the report is sent to our ReportPrinter class, who tokenizes the report based on "\f" and makes a ReportPage object (implements Printable) for each token. Each ReportPage is then appened to a java.awt.print.Book object, who in turn is sent to the PrinterJob.
Given that the report already has his pages figured out and has a form feed char at the end of each page, the report comes in to the JTextArea with [] chars preceding each page header (approximately every 60th line, depending on the report).
I tried using a JTextPane, but no luck. It was also much slower reading in the report. I just want the textpane to not display the non-printable characters ("\f" in this case). -
I have always about this, as I've seen these more than once along multiple versions of Firefox. I'm well aware that the lock means the site is 'verified' though I don't know exactly what that entails. More recently, I've noticed that many websites either have the lock or else the globe with the markings on it which says that the connection to the site in question is 'unencrypted', but I don't know what that means. Sometimes this will change between pages on the same website. What I find stranger is that sometimes a a single page on one site will go from the lock to the triangle with the exclamation point in it. Now from what I can tell, it means something similar to the globe, as they seem to both state the same basic thing, that the website doesn't supply identity information and the connection isn't encrypted. What I want to know is how and why this happens, and sometimes even while still on the same page. I've encountered this on three different versions of firefox. The 24 esr, 28.0, and version 34. (Not all on one computer, mind. Though I believe it's possible to have multiple instances of Firefox on the same machine as I know someone mentioned being able to do that on another thread and I'd love to know how that's done if anyone can answer it.) These versions of firefox were on 8.1, and two distinct versions of XP from two different machines. Is this an odd glitch, or is something else going on there and if so, how does one fix it? So far it's happened to me twice on my own computer, once on a fiction website, and as of tonight, once on youtube. On the former, the switch happened on a single page, while on Youtube it changed from one page on the search bar to the actual channel of something in question and back again. Closing out the tab and doing a quick clearing of history seemed to work fine on youtube. The fiction website, not so much, though I haven't seen the triangle thing come back again, as everything there seems to be the globe. So far anyway. However it has come up before on various computers in the past that I've used with various firefox versions, as I've said. Can anyone explain what this is and how to fix it if it is indeed a problem?
''jscher2000 [[#answer-707094|said]]''
<blockquote>
The green padlock means your connection is HTTPS (encrypted) and the certificate identifies a particular site operator. Certificate issuers demand special verification for the Extended Validation (EVSSL) certificate that generates a green padlock.
The gray padlock means your connection is HTTPS (encrypted) but the certificate cannot establish the operator of the site one way or another. No special identification is required to get this certificate.
The exclamation point triangle symbols may indicate that the connection is partially encrypted -- some content is the page was sent over an open connection -- or recently it may indicate that the site uses such easily cracked encryption that you should treat it as providing no protection.
And the point of all this is?! Simply this: if your web traffic is ''not encrypted'', it can be read by others. That's why login pages and sites dealing in your personal or sensitive information should always show a padlock in the address bar. If it's not there, be concerned.
If a normally secure site suddenly shows a mixed content icon, try reloading the page (Ctrl+r or to re-request fresh copies of cached files use Ctrl+Shift+r).
</blockquote>
As it happens, I have tried the refresh thing. It doesn't always work on sites where this sudden changeover occurs. The weird thing is that, again, this happens at random and I've seen it occur over multiple versions of firefox, past and present, so it's not just relegated to just the three main ones I have most recently seen it on.
Now what makes this even stranger is that I have seen a few pages on the fiction website (www.fimfiction.net to be specific) where the grey padlock at the very least shows up on a page, but then suddenly will go to the triangle. Not all of these pages have mixed content or even any content at all beyond simple text. A few have pictures or clickable links, but I usually avoid clicking on the links if I don't know and trust the website. More recently though, the near-entirety of the site has gone to the globe, when before it was the grey padlock. I think the one thing that remains padlocked is its login section. Is it just that the website needs to update its certificates? If so, I can probably just send the site runner a message about that.
I dunno what to do with youtube when it shows up though other than just closing out the tab it's on, clearing my browser history, and reopening the site. It happens rarely with youtube, but it's not unheard of, and it follows along every page on the site once it pops up in one page at all until I shut down that tab. And this is a multiple version thing. These are the two sites where I encounter the issue the most as it's one of only a handful of websites I go to aside from an image gallery which is typically very good about safety. Or as much as it can be, at any rate. The only other site I frequent, www.fanfiction.net (probably the oldest fiction website still active today, and not to be confused with fimfiction) has the grey padlock at all times, aside from when I log into the site. I've used the https: prefix most times when going to a site the first time, and firefox has typically then used that prefix anytime I just enter the general website address in the URL bar, but sometimes it doesn't. Is that partially responsible for why I have seen the padlock switch to the triangle sometimes? I know the link that cor-el posted says that by default from version 16 up, mixed content is blocked by default and I don't think I've ever touched that in the options section of the tools, so what exactly do I do here? Just ignore it, or just keep hitting refresh or what? It doesn't happen all the time, after all, but it does still get annoying. -
The form claims to update the record, but isn't.
Maybe I just need a sanity check, but this has been driving me bonkers.
This is in a "when-button-pressed" trigger. Everything seems to be fine in the properties of the form fields, and I even get a "FRM-40400" message saying that two records have been updated in the database (since there are two tables attached to this form), but when I go back to the database table, the records have not been populated. There's actually more to this trigger, but since the records aren't being updated, the rest of the trigger can't do its job.
I'm posting the beginning of the trigger just so someone can sanity check me. The fact that I'm even getting the FRM-400 message that says it's updated is confusing me. Everything looks fine from the debugger standpoint. Is there something in here that looks like it would prevent me from being able to update the database? I've left in everything, not just what I deem to be the "relevant" portions, just because I'm not sure what might throw it off.
(anything saying 'soft_messages' can be ignored, it is our own internal way of recording alerts and what kind).

------------end code snippet-----------------
Everything after this point hinges on the data having been committed.
This is unfortunately code I've inherited, so I'm not sure why the former owner decided that just because you pressed "yes" the request should be declared successfully processed. I've cleaned up what's listed above, but for debugging purposes I've planted little messages throughout this code to let me know what the state of some of the variables are, and everything looks to be correct.
Why would I get a FRM-40400 if it's not actually successfully updating the database?
Cyd"The fact that it's doing a commit no matter what..."
It won't do a commit if the form_status is QUERY. Did you check the form_status before coming to the actual commit statement? If it's QUERY, it won't commit. You need to do check this!
If the form_status is not QUERY, then it will do a commit unless the form is doing something in a pre-commit trigger, or deleting the records in a post commit trigger. The fact you were getting a "are no changes to be saved" message, leads me to believe you may have something going on in a trigger that fires when it encounters your commit statement. You may have to use the debugger to execute your code one line at a time to find out what's going one here. Have you tried doing that?
Other possibilities are:
a. The database or schema you are looking at is not the database or schema Forms is using to save the records.
b. The records being commited are not the records you were expecting.
"FRM-40400 blinking up on the screen"
not sure why it would be blinking... maybe due to the version of Forms Builder you are using. -
Hiya, Im thinking of buying my first ipod the Ipod Touch 32gb model. Will I be able to transfer the music I currently have stored in the form of CDs and already on my laptop onto the Ipod and if yes, how would I do this? I have heard from some friends that Apple and Itunes is notoriously limited in the types of formats that are accetable? I dont want to pay £249 on an Ipod only to find that Im locked into buying all my music from Itunes and I cant use the music that Ive already paid good money to buy from other sources. Many thanks for any help and advice that you may give me?
Many thanks JEM24 for your help. Ive just spent the best part of six hundred pounds on a new Sony Rx100m2 compact camera, so I have no interest in the Ipods camera at all really. I doubt Ill be watching many videos on it as Im very lucky in that I have a good Android tablet. Its more as a stock music player that Ill be buying the Ipod for, if indeed I do end up buying one. I dont like the idea of paying the exorbitant amount added for more memory space that Apple along with most other companies charge. In fact I read an article on this very subject just yesterday in the tech section of Flipboard. It stated in the article that in the case of the Iphone the actual cost of each additional gigabyte of storage to Apple et al is something in the order of 60p.. This is certainly not reflected in the price us the customer has to pay at the till.. Its for this reason primarily that Apple in particular, because their products do not allow adding expandable memory of your own in the form of cheap to buy cards, that nobody in their right mind buys the 64gig etc Iphones..I am aware that we are discussing my potential purchase of an Ipod Touch here but you see my point. Many thanks again though for helping me.

How do I add borders to the form fields in the checkout page of my BC shop?
I am setting up my Shop for my website www.myartscreative.com. So far, so good. I am testing out going through the steps of ordering a copy of my sketch book, adding the appropriate shipping, etc. However, I notice when testing the checkout page, most of the fields do not have a border around them which makes it hard to see where to fill in the pertinent info. How do I add a border or fill (or both) the form fields so my customer can easily see where to type in their information? Here is the link to my shop's "check out page".
Ok, got it! So, I kind of figured it out by going into the Develop tab in the BC Admin and going into the modulestylesheets.css and modifying that. Check the link above again and you will now see the borders around the input fields. Probably no big deal to you pro's out there, but I am a total newbie up to this point. Thanks again!

Is there a way to make the Form Wizard group things in the order I want it to?
I am creating a multi-page checklist. Each question has a radio button with the possible answers of yes, no or n/a. When I run the Form Wizard, it detects the boxes I created, in Word using the Developer, but it puts all the yes's in a group, all the no's in a group and leaves the n/a's out. Is there a way to make it so when the Form Wizard creates the radio buttons, it puts a yes, no and n/a in one group? I don't want to have to create a sepearte group for each question. These checklists are long and there are hundreds of questions.
The auto field detection feature is designed to look for Yes/No text labels next to each radio button group -- not specifically n/a. Do you have a group label to the left or above each group? This is how each group is determined -- if it's not there they'll default to check boxes. For more detail on how the auto field detection feature works, check out the tutorial Designing Forms for auto field detection. Also, there were a few improvements in the 9.2 release, so make sure you're using this point release or later.

But....when i give the username,password and database of infrastructure i.e.,
username=system password=oradba database=orcl then the form is opening in the browser. -
VGS-1501 Error while opening the canvas in the form module
Hi All,
I am getting “VGS-1501: <message not found>” message while opening the canvas. Actually in my machine Oracle Apps R12 is installed. To work on forms I have opened form builder and created a data block manually and created a canvas in the form module manually. To add items on the canvas, when I am clicking on canvas then first I am getting “VGS-1501: <message not found>” error message and then after canvas is getting opened. But here in the canvas there were no items available in the side tool bar.
Then I decided to build form through wizard. Once the form was created, then when I opened the canvas then again I got the same error message. Here when I tried to run the form, then the form got closed automatically. This problem is related to forms only because I am able to work on Oracle Apps (functionally) and also I am able to develop a report using report builder. Can somebody please help me to fix this issue
Thanks
ThahessenI got something sililar behaviour when I use different version forms in different version of developer environment. Sometimes your Forms_PATH and REPORTS_PATH may be point ot wrong version.
This is only a assumption...
