Problem using CLIENT_HOST to FTP files from forms 10g

Hi,
I'm trying to use forms 10g ODS & webutil on NT to allow a user to select a file on their machine or the network and transfer the file to a DB server. I want to transfer the file to the file system on the server NOT to a BLOB column on a table. I've used webutil (client_get_file_name) to display the dialog box and allow the user to select a file. This works fine. However, when I try to use CLIENT_HOST to FTP the selected
to the remote server it fails. I'm issuing the following
command from within forms:
CLIENT_HOST('CMD /C ftp -n -s:C:\test_ftp.txt');
Something tries to kick off and a grey area the size of a dos window flashes on to the screen for a couple of seconds but the FTP does not happen. The test_ftp.txt script is a simple ftp script that transfers one file and I know it works as I can run it successfully from DOS or NT command prompt.
Questions:
(1) Does anyone know how to pause the DOS window so you
can see what is actually happening ?
(2) Has anyone implemented FTP functionality
successfully using CLIENT_HOST in the same way that's
I'm trying ?
Any help would be appreciated.
Declan.

Okay...
Try this. For testing put your command in a .bat-file. In this .bat-file spool the output to a text-file. I'm not sure about the spooling syntax under Windows, check the Windows documentation for that. Like:
ftp.bat
start spooling to ftp.out
cmd /c .... (your ftp commando line)
stop spooling
Perhaps the problem is that it doesn't find the ftp commando? Try hardcode the path like c:\windows\ftp ... etc!

Calling html file from Forms 10g

Hi,
I am working in forms 10.1.2.0.2 in the unix server. I have a push button in which I'm creating a html file as under:
MYFILE := TEXT_IO.FOPEN('/tmp/ab.html','W');
When I click the push button, the above file gets created in the tmp directory. But it does not open. Could someone please let me know how to get it to view from my forms. I am using the following command but its not working:
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('http://formsserver:port/test_virtual_dir/ab.html','_BLANK');
Thanks

hmm....
I assume you have 10g AS installed in Unix.
Go to $ORACLE_HOME/forms/server
edit the forms.conf with your virtual directory values similar to
AliasMatch ^/forms/java/(..*) "/opt/oracle/product/10gas/forms/java/$1
And to test without any virtual configuration , I would try writing the html file to the folder "/opt/oracle/product/10gas/forms/java" and use
http://www.Alexyscorp.com/forms/java/myfile.htm
Also note that u might need to add the hostname as a trusted site otherwise new version of IE wont allow to open.

Problems using CFFile to move files

Hi there - I am having some problems using CFFile to move
files from one directory to another. It only seems to only move
some of the files in the group that I choose to move over, and
there is nothing specific about which files are moved - different
files are moved each time. There are no error messages that are
showing up, so I am totally baffled. Has anyone else experienced
this or does anyone else have any ideas on how to fix this problem?
Any help would be much appreciated!! My code is below.

First, an incidental matter. I don't think there's any need
for so many try-catch tags. I would expect all the tags <cffile
action="move"> to throw the same class of exception, and so
would use one try-catch for them all. Even if you expect different
exceptions to be thrown, one cftry tag might still be sufficient,
if implemented as follows
<cftry>



<cfcatch type="exceptionType1"></cfcatch>
<cfcatch type="exceptionType2"></cfcatch>

</cftry>
I suspect the cause of the problems lies in the dynamic
values that you give the attributes. Perhaps incorrect values are
passed for the source and/or destination values in certain
circumstances. As A3gis has said, if that were to happen you
probably wouldn't notice, because of the try-catches. Find a way to
ensure that all the generated values for source and destination are
correct.

Opening .pdf files from forms using OLE

Hi,
I want to open, print , save and save as pdf files from forms using OLE . Please help me with the same.
Thanks
Vidya

If you are in client/server mode, you can put an OLE container component on your form. However, be warned that this method does not work when you convert to the forms server web enabled mode. If you anticipate moving your application to the web anytime soon, my advice would be to web-enable first and then add in the feature to view .pdf (or other) files. In our client/server app, I went to a lot of trouble to add in OLE features such as you describe, and now I have to completely re-write those features for the web.

How do I FTP files from a security camera to iCloud so they can be retrieved back to my MacBook Pro whenever I connect when travelling?

How do I FTP files from a security camera to iCloud so they can be retrieved back to my MacBook Pro whenever I connect when travelling?
Russ

Do you want to watch the live feed of your secutiry cameras or recorded footage?
In either case, I don't think iCloud is your solution.
For the first one, check with your security camera software, they usually have this option of broadcasting, so you'll know how to access it.
For the later, you should use something like Dropbox (www.dropbox.com), since iCloud file sharing is, up to this date, app restricted.
Hope it helps.

How to execute Pro*C file from form

Hi All !
I have one pro*c file(.pc & .exe) . How I can execute this file from form.
Regards,
Neeraj

I think you could use Ora_Ffi package too. Make sure that you use correct version of Pro/C.
I think you should use Pro/C version 8.0.x with Forms 6.0. I don't use Forms 6i, but I think it is the same for it too.

Execute sql file from forms

Hello, how is it possible to execute a sql file from forms without using sqlplus, because we have only the forms runtime on our pc.
We can't use forms_ddl because we have a very big sql script for creating a package.
Please help,
GJ

Strange, whenever I have installed forms I got sqlplus too without asking for it. If it is not installed, wouldn't your best bet be to install it ?

How can I use JAVA to copya file from a location to another location?

Hello all,
I am planning to design a web page (let say an HTML has a form that post fields to a jsp page) that allow me to select a file and then copy it to another location like what we see in email attachement.
Is the any related java class that i can use for this matter or ready JavaBean?
Thanks in advance
Yahya

jspSmartUpload
look for package named com.jspsmart.upload.
Very easy to use to pull a file from a person's pc up to where the form is posted to. You will need to setup your form to type to be multi-part form. Use an input type of file to generate the file browse button.

REP 110 & REP 0110 .calling reports from Form 10g(10.1.2.0.2)

Hi All,
We are migrating form from Oracle form 6i to Oracle 10g(10.1.2.0.2). I am calling reports from forms
using Web.Show_Docment(). When we run reports in report builder 10g it works fine.
But when we try to run reports from Forms 10g it throws error which is given below.
We want to run reports from UNIX. After using this url to submit report we get error REP 110 and REP 0110
URL
http://GEM:7777/reports/rwservlet?server=rep_server&report=/u01/forms/QA_Forms10g/GEMREP.rdf+DESTYPE=CACHE+DESFORMAT=HTML+p_user_id=XYZ+p_client=2

Hello,
You are mixing 2 separators in the URL : & and +
Use only one separator in the URL :

How to save SQL result to file in forms 10g

Hi All,
I am using Oracle/forms 10g and need to create a file from a predefined sql statement .
Just wondering if there is a build-in provided by oracle to export sql result to a file from Forms?.
Your quick response will be of great help.
Thanks
Aalishan

Aalishan,
I guess it all depends on where you need to create the output file. You can use the database package UTL_FILE to write a file to the database server file system or you can use the Forms TEXT_IO built-in to write to the client file system. Is your intent to export the data in a multi-line block to a file? If so, TEXT_IO is what you want to use. The Forms help system has all the information and a few examples you will need to get started.
Hope this helps.
