Pop Up menu - Oracle Forms

Hi there,
I am stuck with a pop up menu, not displaying correctly the columns, when it launches the designated report - via oracle forms and is there any way to ensure that the items displayed on the form are displayed the same way in a report through the pop up menu?
Example :
ets say on the screen(oracle forms) if you see "Name, place, animal, thing" and when you click on block report all(block report all is the pop up menu on my form), I am seeing "place,animal,thing,name" as opposed to "Name, place, animal, thing" . Is there any way to ensure consistency.
Please help.
Thanks in advance
S

Sorry, but i didn't get your requirement? What is "Name, place, animal, thing" is this the order of items shown in your form, or is it the order of records queried into your form?
And what is the thing you want get the same sorting for. Is it the same set of data to be displayed in the report. If its for sorting data, you will have to provide an ORDER BY both on your forms-block and your reports-query.

Calling Report from Menu (Oracle Forms 11g)

I'm trying to call a report from a menu item in a menu (that is attached to a form) in Oracle Forms 11g directly and I'm having some difficulty. I know how to call a report from a form and everything works perfectly.
But since in a menu there is no item called "Report" to attach like there is in Forms, I followed on route which is to attach the "rp2rro" PL/SQL library on the menu file (mmb) and I also even did it on the form itself. Then when you convert a menu using the Forms Migration Assistant, it will comment out statements like "ADD_PARAMETER" and replace with calls to packaged procedures/functions from the package "rp2rro". I set all the parameters
RP2RRO.SETOTHERS('PARAMFORM=YES');
RP2RRO.SETDESTYPE('CACHE');
RP2RRO.SETDESFORMAT('PDF');
RP2RRO.SETCOMMUNICATIONMODE(SYNCHRONOUS);
then made the call to the report:
RP2RRO.RUN_PRODUCT(REPORTS, 'MYREPORT', SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME, FILESYSTEM, param_list_id, NULL);
but all i get is the error "FRM-41219: Cannot find report: invalid ID."
The Oracle documentation for integration reports in forms is for when you execute the report within a form not a menu item (that is attached to a form). Any clues?
My environment is:
Oracle (Database, Fusion Middleware) 11g - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
Web Browser - Internet Explorer 7 on Windows XP Professional
Thanks,

Hello,
One option is to use the Web.Show_Document() built-in, with the complete Report Server URL inside. Of course, you can hide some information (connection string for instance) by calling a section of the /reports/conf/cgicmd.dat configuration file.
FrancoisI tried it using the code below
DECLARE
c_relative_path CONSTANT VARCHAR2(50) := '/reports/rwservlet/?server=';

v_db_instance VARCHAR2(40);
v_connect_string VARCHAR2(300);

v_rep_url VARCHAR2(400);
BEGIN
v_username := LOWER(get_application_property(username));
v_password := LOWER(get_application_property(password));
v_db_instance := LOWER(get_application_property(connect_string));
v_connect_string := v_username || '/' || v_password || '@' || v_db_instance;
v_rep_srv_params := '&report=' || c_rep_name ||
'&desformat=' || c_desformat ||
'&destype=' || c_destype ||
'&userid=' || v_connect_string ||
'&paramform=yes';
v_rep_url := c_relative_path || c_rep_srv_name || v_rep_srv_params;
web.show_document(v_rep_url, '_blank');
END;
and I get a new tab in the browser opening up (which is good at least) with the Oracle Reports Services page saying:
Error
No such Web command ().
Now I've tried putting a URL of a Oracle's website (http://www.oracle.com) and that works perfectly. Another question is, where would the default directory be if I wanted to say call an HTML file? Would it be in the directory of FORMS_PATH where all my fmb, fmx, rdf, pll, etc...files are stored?

Calling Report from Menu (Oracle Forms 10g)

We have the applications in Forms6i & Reports 6i (Client Server) and migrating to Forms 10g and Reports 10g. We have the menu, from that menu we are calling all the forms and Reports. For especially Reports earlier we user RUN_PRODUCT but now 10g it is not working. How can call the report using RUN_REPORT_OBJECT
Important things we have some dynamic parameters (input) to the each report. That means when i called the report from the menu i need to get first parameter form to take the parameters and then can be run the report.

Here is the code to call report from menu in 10g
DECLARE
pl_id ParamList;
repid REPORT_OBJECT;
v_rep varchar2(100);
v_server VARCHAR2(100);
rep_status varchar2(100);
v_host VARCHAR2(100);
BEGIN
     select rep_server into v_server from reports_data;
     select machine into v_host from reports_data;
pl_id := Get_Parameter_List('tmpdata');
     IF NOT Id_Null(pl_id) THEN
     Destroy_Parameter_List( pl_id );
     END IF;
     pl_id := Create_Parameter_List('tmpdata');
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'P_C_CODE',TEXT_PARAMETER,:GLOBAL.COMPANY);
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'P_B_CODE',TEXT_PARAMETER,:GLOBAL.BRANCH);
     repid := find_report_object('REPORTOBJ');
     SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_FILENAME,getpath||'E_VOUCHER_ENTRY.RDF');
          SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_COMM_MODE,SYNCHRONOUS);
          SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_DESFORMAT,'htmlcss');
          SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_SERVER,v_server);
          v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid, pl_id);
          rep_status := REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS(v_rep);
          WHILE rep_status in ('RUNNING','OPENING_REPORT','ENQUEUED')
               LOOP
                    rep_status := report_object_status(v_rep);
                         message('Running');
               END LOOP;
          IF rep_status = 'FINISHED' or rep_status is NULL THEN
               --Display report in the browser

TO ADD A CUSTOM ENTRY IN RIGHT CLICK POP UP MENU IN ORACLE HRMS FLEX FIELDS

We are building a custom help for Oracle HRMS. For this I need to add a custom Help entry in the right click pop up menu. I did this by adding the code APP_POPUP.INSTANTIATE('POPUP10','Custom Help',TRUE,'LINE') in the APPCORE lib. After this change the right click menu shows the new entry 'Custom Help' when user right clicks in any of the form but the new entry Custom Help' doesn't show up when I right click in flexfields. I am sure I need to do some thing else for flex fields.. Does any one have any idea on this ?

You have to refer to the Current Form, Current Block , Current Item so that the menu appears only in the form where you want to see.

Using a conditional pop-up menu for creating an order form...

I am trying to create an order form on Numbers (version 2.0.1) using my iPad. My idea is to create a pop-up menu that would contain a number of products (about 50 or so). I'd copy this pop-up menu on all the cells in the column under "Description". That part is no problem. BUT ... ideally when a product is selected from the pop-up menu, I would like for its price to automatically populate the corresponding cell under "Unit Price". Obviously the various products will have various prices. For example, I might have three products listed as "Assorted Miniatures" which cost $5 each; "Animal Pot" which costs $10; and "Geometric Pot" which costs $15. Can this be done???
If and when that is accomplished, then I presume I can easily apply the basic formulas to get total amounts. All of this means that once completed the only thing I really need to do is select products and then all the pricing and total amounts are automatically listed and calculated. Can someone assist? I have a show coming up this weekend and I hope to fill out lots of order forms!!! :-) Thank you!!!

MicMac22,
Here is my take. Lookup table as Wayne suggests.
Popup menu is a great idea.
description
quant
unit price
total Amt
Item 2
$2.00
Item 1
$1.00
My entry table would look like yours.
item
price
item 1
$1.00
item 2
$2.00
item 3
$3.00
Table 2 is your lookup table.
The formula in your entry table unit price is pasted into row 2 and copied down.
IFERROR(OFFSET(Table 2::$A$1,MATCH(A2,item,0)−1,1,,),"")
This says find the match of entry in A2 in item column in table 2 return the value in the column 1 over. If error return nothing ("").
Will this work for you?

Hi,
You can define a Form Function filling the basic information and
HTML call Set as OracleOasis.RunDiscoverer. You can even define Paramters during the form function registration. With this definition you will able to create a link to a Discoverer workbook that will automatically open Discoverer Plus or Viewer to display the workbook using Apps security.
Please refer to the following Metalink Note for more details:
278095.1- How to Create a Link to a Discoverer Workbook in Apps11i
Hope This helps

How to avoid IE pop-ups when running BIP reports(w/ SSO) from Oracle Forms?

Hi all,
We have an OID/SSO integrated Oracle Forms and BI Publisher environment in place. We/users expect the same behavior when running Oracle Reports or BIP reports from Oracle Forms... which means receiving no intermediate pop-ups and simply getting the report output to appear in the relevant target application(PDF, EXCEL, etc). Currently we get multiple security warnings when running BIP reports from Oracle Forms.
Here's a list of Pop-ups contents:
1. "File Download - Security Warning" Do you want to open or save this file? -> OPEN
2. "File Download" Do you want to save this file? Name = ma01r500.pdf -> YES
3. "Save AS" -> pick desktop and save.
4. "Download Complete" -> OPEN
We have experimented with setting various IE security settings to LOW/enabled and still get these pop-ups.
Any suggestions is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Yahya

FYI... Metalink Note 282996.1 has resolved the bigger issue with the extra pop-ups with SSO enabled environment.
Cause:
Internet Explorer (IE) has to cache PDF files in a temporary directory prior to opening the file. Without this IE cannot process PDF files. With SSO protected pages, the header cache settings are set to no-cache which prevents IE from downloading PDF files.
Solution:
In mod_osso.conf use the entry "OssoSendCacheHeaders off" which tells mod_osso to turn off all no-cache related headers, which the enables Internet Explorer to be cache the file in a temporary directory.
Now I am not sure if anybody has any thoughts/suggestions as how we might be able to resolve this issue where Oracle Reports WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT calls have no pop-ups so ideally BIP reports WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT calls should behave the same as both are calls from Oracle Forms.
But at least now our SSO enabled environment and un-secure DEV/UAT behave the same with a single pop-up. Ideally the users shouldn't have to come across this intermediate pop-up to open(save/cancel being the other options) the document(just like Oracle Reports calls).

Oracle forms standard/default menu - Record Delete option

Hi ,
Oracle forms provides a standard menu with the below options.
Action , Query , Block , Record , Help etc.
Under each of these Menu options there are sub options.
Eg: Under Record we have Previous , Next , Insert , Delete etc.
Can someone please tell me how to control this menu item options for different forms.
Eg: for 1 form i want to allow the Record - Delete option but for another form i dont want to give this option.
How to do this ??
Please help....
I tried to search for the solution but couldnt get the right answer. Hope someone will help me out here.
Regards,
SRT

Hello,
The Oracle Forms documentation states:
The Default menu is built-in to every form, and is not a separate menu module.
You cannot change the structure of the Default menu or edit the menu items it
displays.
If your application requires
unique menu functions, you must create a custom menu module and attach it to
your form.
If the internal default menu almost meets your needs, you can attach the
"menudef.mmb" approximation of the default menu to the form. You can then
rename and edit this menu.
You can download the demo version for 10g R2 and menudefs_10g.mmb is included with the demos.
http://download.oracle.com/otndocs/demos/Forms_Demos_10gr2.zip
You will get menudef_10g.mmb and menudefs_10g.mmb.
If needed check metalink note:
Differences between menudef.mmb and menudefs.mmb menu files. [ID 1081136.1]
Kind regards,
Alex

Light weight Oracle Forms Menu

I think I remember reading somewhere that Oracle Web Forms made a new light weight menu module available to designers. Something users could attach to Oracle Forms Form Level Property named 'Menu Module' - something like 'smart menu' or something. Does anyone have any idea what I'm talking about? Thanks in advance.

I had never tried to run a form with SMARTBAR only so I just tried it and it doesn't work. If I leave the Mene Module as DEFAULT&SMARTBAR the form works fine, but it's not a minimal menu in my opinion. For that, we usually customize our own and call that.

Does anybody have a sample app menu page(first page) of oracle form 10g

Hi,
We are migrating form6i to 10g and deploy the app on the web. We could successfully access the forms after compiling at 10g form builder. We have more than 20 forms, we need a menu for people to click on to choose different form to use. We already know the URL of each form (http://hostname/forms/frmservlet?form=form_name). Does anybody have a sample menu page for reference?
thank you very much

When you try to Maximize MDI window in a form using
set_Window_property(FORMS_MDI_WINDOW,WINDOW_STATE,MAXIMIZE) on web,
even though the MDI window appears as Maximized it is not actually maximized,
also it doesnt show the status bar.

Handling oracle forms errors (frm-nnnnn) locally

is there a way to handle an oracle form error (e.g. frm-40508) locally in a way similar to handle oracle database errors.
e.g.
procedure insert_something is
insert_error exception;
pragma exception_init(insert_error,-40508);
begin
:c1.a := 1;
:c1.b := 2;
commit_form;
exception
when insert_error then
<handle insert error on c1 block>;
end;
Edited by: mojo on Oct 7, 2008 4:34 AM

by locally i mean within the pl/sql block that will have raised the error.
an example i encoutnered recently, but by no means the only occasion i have wished such things:
function mseRecStatus returnvarchar2 is
rtnChar varchar2(32);
begin
rtnChar := get_record_property(mouseRec,mouseBlock,status);
return rtnChar;
end;
This is called from a pre-pop-menu trigger. mouseRec and block are calculated previously. A right-click on a record item below the last record raises error frm-40741 (unable to locate record on block). it would be nice to be able to do something like the following without incolving an on-error trigger:
function mseRecStatus returnvarchar2 is
rtnChar varchar2(32);
non_record_clicked exception;
pragma exception_init(non_record_clicked,-40741);
begin
rtnChar := get_record_property(mouseRec,mouseBlock,status);
return rtnChar;
exception
when non_record_clicked then
return null;
end;
