Problems running Forms in Forms Builder 6.0.8.21.3

I have upgraded some Forms from 4.5 to 6i. I compile and run the forms in Forms Builder 6.0.8.21.3. However I have a problem when running a specific form. When I run the form directly from Forms Builder the problem do not appear.
But when I call the same form in Oracle Forms Runtime by calling the forms from the menu, the row with push buttons that I have defined do not appear.
I have faced a similar problem earlier and then I solve the problem changing the order of the Data Blocks in the Object Navigator. I have tried this, but so far it does not work. Do the order of the Data Blocks affect how the Forms will be displayed? What about the order of the Canvases? I hope someone can help me with this challenge.
I run win 2000 and do not get any runtime error messages.
Thanks in advance.
Regards

Roar,
the order of blocks does only influence the navigation but not the visibility. However, if the button bar is on a canvas that doesn't show if the focus isn't in it then having teh button block on top makes sure the focus is set there. Are the push bottons on a separate canvas or are they on the same canvas as your data ? If not, then how do you ensure that the stacked canvas gets displayed ? Anyway, running the Form from teh builder uses teh same client/server runtime that is used when running your application stand alone. So it must be something within teh navigation (I am guessing).

Problem running a 10g Forms in Windows XP

I download Developer Suite 10g (9.0.4.0) and installed it on my PC running Windows XP OS. I created a simple one block form using the Forms Builder. I started the OC4J. When I tried to run the form I got the error "This page cannot be found"
http://mypc.internal:8889/forms90/f90servlet
When I tried to access the Forms Builder 'On line Help' I got the following Oracle error:
FRM-18105: Failed to start the Help system
Any help will be appreciated.

Hi Lamine,
i had same problem with you before, try to re-install developer(from the same source or other source of developer CD ) then try running test.fmx form using Run a Form on The Web, or u can test via form directly (check default URL form from Edit menu -> Preferences -> Runtime).
Hope it will work for yours,
Regards,

I followed the steps layed out for configuring webutil in the users guide, I suspect the problem is related to signing the jacob.jar file.
I signed jacob.jar using $ORACLE_HOME/forms/webutil/sign_webutil.bat, I made sure ORACLE_HOME/jdk/bin was in PATH.
I received these warning/errors at this point
Generating a self signing certificate for key=webutil2...
keytool error: java.lang.Exception: Key pair not generated, alias <webutil2> already exists
There were warnings or errors while generating a self signing certificate. Please review them.

I am running forms 10.1.2. How do I resolve this problem.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Jim
.

Well, I think the problem is a permission issue or there is a problem finding the correct files. Let me explain:
1. The first error is expected. Read it carefully and consider what you did to this point.
Generating a self signing certificate for key=webutil2...
keytool error: java.lang.Exception: Key pair not generated, alias <webutil2> already exists
This is expected because the alias was already created when signing frmwebutil.jar. Since the alias only needs to be created one time, this is expected and can be ignored.
2. The second error is your real issue:
jarsigner: attempt to rename d:\oracle\Product\dev10gR2suite\forms\java\jacob.jar to d:\oracle\Product\dev10gR2suite\forms\java\jacob.jar.orig failed
My suggestion:
1. Delete all jacob files including any which may have been renamed.
2. Re-download the correct Jacob version as noted in the WebUtil and Forms documentation. Do NOT attempt to use a newer version as it will cause a failure.
3. Copy the jacob.jar file in the same directory which contains the cortousy signing script (batch) Oracle provides.
4. Ensure that you have (Windows) Administrative permissions on the machine.
5. Open a DOS shell and change directories (cd) to the directory which contains the signer script.
6. Set the PATH to include the JDK\bin. For example:
SET PATH=d:\oracle\Product\dev10gR2suite\jdk\bin;%PATH%
7. Execute the jarsigner script.
sign_webutil jacob.jar
As already mentioned you can ignore messages which suggest that the alias already exists. However, pay attention to any others.
8. Assuming it works correctly, copy jacob.jar to ..\forms\java
9. Clear the JAR cache from whichever JRE (Jinitiator) you are using.
10. Retest

Problem running CalendarWidget sample form

I am trying to get the CalendarWidget sample form with the calendar PJC to run on my pc. I can run the form from my forms developer (v 10g), but the calendar "button" doesn't enable or show anything.
The implementation class for the Calendar_Widget_Bean is forms90.java.CalendarWidgetWrapper
When I go to open the canvas for the form, I get :
FRM-13008: Cannot find JavaBean with name 'forms90.java.CalendarWidgetWrapper.'
When I try to run this by opening the calendar_jinit.html file I get the following error:
Java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: forms90.java.oracle.forms.engine.Main
The form, html, classes are all in my forms90/java directory.
The java console shows the following message:
load: class forms90.java.oracle.forms.engine.Main not found.
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: java.io.FileNotFoundException: \forms90\java\forms90\java\oracle\forms\engine\Main.class (The system cannot find the path specified)
followed by several lines ending with Unknown Source.
Ideas on what I might need to do to get this thing to work? I am no java guru and have been doing the registry and environment settings based on documentation that came with the demo as well as other posts from this forum.

The exception you are getting is Forms error. Please post this in Forms forum

Can't run form from Form Builder 10g - Port configuration problem?

Hi,
I have installed the Database (10.2.0.1.0) and the Developer Suite (10.1.2.0.2) on two Linux machines (Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES 4 Basic).
If I enter the frmservlet-URL manually everything seems to be fine.
In one case I enter http://127.0.0.1:8890/forms/frmservlet, in the other http://127.0.0.1:8889/forms/frmservlet; in BOTH cases I get eventually a dark square and the status bar says "Applet oracle.forms.engine.Main started".
HOWEVER, if I create a simple form with Form Builder and click on the Button with the green traffic light ("Run Form"), the form runs only on the machine where frmservlet listens on port 8890.
On the other machine (frmservlet configured to listen on port 8889) Firefox pops up, the URL "http://127.0.0.1:32979/6dOrpwghCqnp8PhMT7KVT533m3IaArqFbPqPBOztZXWYSsNy" gets called, and nothing else happens. The screen displays the string "ORACLE FORMS." and the status bar says "Waiting for 127.0.0.1...", and it stays like this forever.
I assume this is a port configuration problem, but I don't have a clue where to start.
Any suggestions how I should proceed are greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much in advance!

Hi Frank,
Thank you for your reply.
I doublechecked my configuration.
In the dialog Edit --> Preferences --> Runtime the Application Server URL is set to "127.0.0.1:8889/forms/frmservlet".
However, when I attempt to run the form, the URL "http://127.0.0.1:33140/W2dwbV9eXS2fPkuKlxNhCxFWdEihwDviat2uV7ycrSotqwDN" gets called.
The screen displays the string "ORACLE FORMS." and the status bar says "Waiting for 127.0.0.1...", and that's it.
I wonder how the port number 33140 got selected. Interestingly, this time it is a different number; last time it was port 32979. In fact, the port number seems to change each time; I tried again and now it is 33189.
I will now try to set the port number for the frmservlet to 8890.
I choose Edit --> Preferences --> Runtime and set the application server URL to "127.0.0.1:8890/forms/frmservlet".
I stop the container, open /home/oracle/OraHome_1/j2ee/DevSuite/config/default-web-site.xml and change the port number to 8890:
<?xml version="1.0" standalone='yes'?>
<!DOCTYPE web-site PUBLIC "Oracle Application Server 10g XML Web-site" "http://xmlns.oracle.com/ias/dtds/web-site.dtd">



<web-site port="8890" protocol="http"
display-name="Oracle Developer Suite 10g instance of Oracle Containers for J2EE Web Site">

     
     
     <default-web-app application="default" name="defaultWebApp" root="/j2ee" />

<web-app application="forms" name="formsweb" root="/forms" />


<web-app application ="reports" name="web" root="/reports" />
<web-app application = "reports" name="demo" root="/repdemo" />
     
     <access-log path="../log/default-web-access.log" />
</web-site>
I restart the container, start Form Builder, connect to the database, and open my test form.
When attempting to run the form, the URL "http://127.0.0.1:33437/Pl0n3ky9vmU5z37A7ScBnQhsGwq3jwuzJpgTAKWPMOYIzT8K" gets called (again a new port number, apparently picked radomly within a certain range) and nothing happens: "Waiting for 127.0.0.1...".
However, when I enter the URL http://127.0.0.1:8890/forms/frmservlet I do (eventually, after confirming that I trust the certificate etc.) get a darc rectangle and the status message "Applet oracle.forms.engine.Main started", which tells me that my setup can't be that far off target.

Run Form in Form Builder 9.0.4.0.0

Hi All:
I have installed developer suite with form builder 9.0.4.0.0. Installation was successful but when i run a form from form builder it opens a browser window having address of html file resides in my c:\documentsandsetting \username\localsetting\temp\xxx.htm. Actually this htm file is created dynamically in specified location with different names on different requests and then open actual form having address http://host:port/forms90/f90servlet. (i didn't see this behaviour in 9iDS).
Actually my problem is that my browser didn't get first address (c:\documentsandsetting\username\localsetting\temp\xxx.htm) correctly when i press "RUN FORM" button in form builder it contains http://%%20c:\documentsandsetting\username\localsetting\temp\xxx.htm and because of this address my actual form is not shown. If i ommit http://%%20 manually from address bar and press enter then my form runs perfectly.
Please tell me is there any solution exist for this problem.

Thanks Ronald for ur reply but unfortunately this method didn't work. I have changed my browser setting as follows
-ActiveX controls and plug-ins
* Download signed ActiveX controls
Enable
* Download unsigned ActiveX controls
Enable
* Initialize & script ActiveX controls not marked as safe
Enable
* Run ActiveX controls & plug-ins
ENable
* Script ActiveX controls marked safe for scripting
Enable
and even after i have restart my form builder and oc4j instance i have faced the same problem.
Plz. let me know is there any other solution exist.

Sam

Unable to run the form from Form Builder 10g

HI,
I am having a problem with running a form with form builder 10g.
I have create a form with some text boxes to display values in a table.
When i compile and run the form it does not run The error shown is
HTTP 403(Forbidden) You are not authorised to view this page.
The Link used for the above is:
http://127.0.0.1:1740/sWuCqhMKUT1btA1N5cXLCRshkJzmgKRIlCEUFd9RL520LVq0
The port number 1740 changes everytime. I dont know why.
I have started the OC4J instance before starting the Form Builder.
I have made the changes to the runtime preferences in the form builder.
http://localhost:8889/forms/frmservlet
But it doesn't work when i try to run the form from Form Builder.
ie Program-->Run Form
The form works properly when using the 'Run a form on the Web Utility' provided with Developer Suite.
Can anyone please suggest a solution. I have searched the forum but didnot find a solution.
Thanks
V.S.

One of our DBAs has installed the software.
It was a default installation, I believe, as no configuration was done during the installation except for increasing the virtual memory size.
Post installation we changed the tnsnames.ora file and the sqlnet.ora file.
Do i need to configure something ?
Thanks,
V.S.

FRM-92101 when trying to run forms from Forms Builder 10g

I have been struggling with this for a few days now and have tried multiple solutions around on these forums without any resolution yet!
Trying to run Forms Builder on a Windows XP machine with Oracle Development Suite 10.1.2.0.2 installed in its own ORACLE_HOME. The installation completes succesfully and I can start the OC4J instance.
1) When I open up Forms Builder and pull up the test.fmb form and try to run it, I get the following error:
FRM-92101: There was a failure in the Forms Server during startup. This could happen due to invalid configuration. Please look into the web-server log file for details.
On clicking 'Details' the following errors are displayed:

Same issue here... Been trying to get this working since a week now. I tried all the solutions like memory heap and all but no luck.
One thing that I would like to know is that, in some threads the resolution was to recompile the INS_FORMS.MK file under /forms/lib32 but with my installation I don't have that "lib32" folder under /forms/ and I can not even find that file anywhere in my entire installation.
I am using 12.1.1 on Windows Server 2008.
Any help or guidelines is greatly appreciated.

i want create a report and
parameter form and run it thru form builder
can it possible i select column name in parameter as a list and report
show data only these column
if any solution plz help me
with thanx

I think you can achieve this as follows:
set up a new parameter, say P_FIELD, with initial value of empname
in your data model have an sql something like
Select
P_FIELD as field1 from EMP
pass the column name to P_FIELD and the report will return that column

Run form from form builder

Hi,
I am using Form 6i and copied Forms60Libraries in my local machine. I am developing form which will be registered with oracle apps. Now I want to run this form locally instead of uploading into server everytime while testing which I don't have access depending on other for this move.
So, Please guide me to run this form from Form Builder locally if there is a way.
Thanks in advance.

As Alex suggested, you will need local copies of all the required Apps resource files (*.pll, *.plx, etc). Running an Apps form from the Forms Builder does not require any special setup on your workstation beyond this. However, even with all the required resource files you will run into errors each time your form calls one of the standard apps built-ins. It has been a while since I've worked with Apps, but I was able to get around the calls to these built-ins by checking if the Form was running on the web or client/server and only calling the Apps built-in if running on the web. It was a bit of a pain to setup, but it was worth being able to test my form localling from the Forms Builder rather than upload the form to the server in order to test the runtime. Here is how I accomplished this. In each trigger that calls an Apps built-in (eg: APP_STANDARD.Event) do the following. Typically, I only needed to add the following code the Form level triggers, but it depended on each form.
/* Example When-New-Form-Instance */
DECLARE
   UI_type   VARCHAR2(15) := Get_Application_Property(USER_INTERFACE);
BEGIN
   IF ( UI_type = 'WEB' ) THEN
      -- Execute Apps built-ins...
      APP_STANDARD.EVENT('WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE');
   END IF;
   -- Perform the rest of your processing here
END;Hope this helps,

Problem in running report from forms 6i..........!

hi all,
I am working in oracle forms 6i and i am trying to run report from
form while press one of the push-button. works fine upto 2nd line from the
begin key-word.After that its showing error like " FRM-40738:Argument 1 to builtin
REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS cannot be null.". Can any-one help me of how to solve this and
wat would be the problem.........?
declare
     run_rep varchar2(200);
     rep_obj report_object;
     rep_stat varchar2(20);
begin
     rep_obj := find_report_object('report46');
     run_rep := run_report_object(rep_obj);
     rep_stat := report_object_status(run_rep);
     if rep_stat = 'FINISHED' then
     copy_report_object_output(run_rep, 'C:\Documents and Settings\trainee\Desktop\Icons\test.pdf');
     else
          message('error when running report');
     end if;

hi rosario,
Thanks for ur reply. My requirement is, I want to generate pdf file from the report output. so i wrote the following code which is taken from d2k documentation. Problem area has been highlighted in bold.
declare
run_rep varchar2(200);
rep_obj report_object;
rep_stat varchar2(20);
begin
rep_obj := find_report_object('report46');
run_rep := run_report_object(rep_obj);
rep_stat := report_object_status(run_rep);
if rep_stat = 'FINISHED' then
copy_report_object_output(run_rep, 'C:\Documents and Settings\trainee\Desktop\Icons\test.pdf');
else
message('error when running report');
end if;
end;
Report is running but while coming to report_object_status. complior shows error like "FRM-40738:Argument 1 to builtin REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS cannot be null". Parameter for report_object_status is null, i dont know y it is null because report is running. If report is running means,then there must be some values in run_rep.
why complior doesnt find the values from run_rep.......???
regards,
jame

UNIX: problem running an DEV & QA environment using form/report servlets

UNIX: problem running an DEV & QA environment using form/report servlets
I am trying to setup on one server an DEV and QA environment using the Forms Servlet, Forms Listener Servlet and Report Servlet.
I think I have the Forms Servlet and Forms Listener Servlet running properly. The problem is setting up the DEV and QA environment for running reports.
For example, when in DEV environment I would like to run a report from a directory specified in the REPORTS60_PATH. This doesn't seem possible.
It might be easier if I describe my configuration first:
DEV: run all forms and reports from the directory /data/release/dev
QA: run all forms and reports from the directory /data/release/qa
---DEV & QA Settings Forms Listener Servlet:
zone.properties:
# DEV
servlet.fl60dev.code=oracle.forms.servlet.ListenerServlet
servlet.fl60dev.initArgs=EnvFile=/u01/app/oracle/product/ias/6iserver/forms60/server/dev.env
# QA
servlet.fl60qa.code=oracle.forms.servlet.ListenerServlet
servlet.fl60qa.initArgs=EnvFile=/u01/app/oracle/product/ias/6iserver/forms60/server/qa.env
---DEV & QA Settings Forms Servlet:
servlet.f60servlet.code=oracle.forms.servlet.FormsServlet
--- Settings for Reports Servlet:
servlet.RWServlet.code=oracle.reports.rwcgi.RWServlet
Custom Env files since we are using Developer 6i Patch 7
dev.env and qa.env
Here I specify FORMS60_PATH and REPORTS60_PATH,
eg: DEV -> FORMS60_PATH=/data/release/dev
REPORTS60_PATH=/data/release/dev
likewise for QA ../qa
In the formsweb.cfg file i have something like:
[dev]
serverURL=/servlet/fl60dev
form=test.fmx
[qa]
serverURL=/servlet/fl60dev
form=test2.fmx
I have tested the following and they work without problems:
1. forms listener test page, eg: http://webserver:7777/servlet/fl60dev
2. running forms from the 2 environments
eg: http://webserver:7777/servlet/f60servlet?config=dev
this runs the form in the FORMS60_PATH (/data/release/dev)
Now my problems start with Reports.
When I run a report from forms (using run_report_object) it will not run any reports
as specified in the REPORTS60_PATH
Even using this url:
http://webserver:7777/servlet/RWServlet?server=rep60&report=test.rdf&destype=cache&desformat=html&
userid=scott/tiger@test9i
It NEVER seems to pickup and use the REPORTS60_PATH. I have tried nearly everything.
I have gone throught the instructions in "Integrating Oracle9iAS Reports in Oracle9iAS Forms -
White Paper"
(http://otn.oracle.com/products/forms/pdf/277282.pdf)
and Forms6i Patch 7: Oracle Forms Listner Servlet for Deployment of FOrms on the Internet
(http://otn.oracle.com/products/forms/pdf/p7listenerservlet.pdf)
plus any other documents in metalink relating to forms, or report servlets. I am
totally confused, please help.
I have tried setting the REPORTS60_PATH in the following files without success:
custom.env (as specified by initArgs=EnvFile in zone.properties)
jserv.properties
in the zone.properties I have tried to set a custom env file for the report servlet:
servlet.RWServlet.code=oracle.reports.rwcgi.RWServlet
servlet.RWServlet.initArgs=EnvFile=/u01/app/oracle/product/ias/6iserver/forms60/server/dev_rep.env
NO LUCK.
The only place that I can set the REPORTS60_PATH
is in "[6iserver home]/reports60_server" file when I start the reports server (did I even
get this right - I do have to have a reports server running don't I?)
Does this meaan I have to run multiple report servers for each of my environments?
Based on all the documentation I thought that REPORTS60_PATH as specified in the files relating
to the forms servlet would be the place to specify the path.
As you will understand I am getting really fustrated with this and it seems to
me that the reports servlet configuration in 6i is really half baked and since 9i
is coming out it will never be fixed.

I am even not able to run forms servlets from two different forms60_path, Is there any configuration do you make other than what you have mentioned in this post.
I already open a TAR in this regard, I am still waiting reply from ORACLE.
Thanks,
Shaik Ather Ahmed

Performance problem running forms on a VPN

Overall performance is OK
I have one form with a performance problem on insert (Inserting 1 record takes about 1 minute)
When I run the same form in our LAN-environment, there is no performance
problem.
It's on a table with a lot of fields, among them a lot of look-up fields (but
most of them are validated on entry)
On my modem, I see a lot of switching Send-Receive (which I wouldn't expect
when inserting 1 record)
null

I guess, the amount of memory is the problem, in case of LAN, you're client's memory is being used, in case of web, your web servers memory is being used. Try to increase the memory to it which would buffer your data before accessing the modem, so your operating system would decide when to send the data and when to not to send the data, in this case, you wont see lots of flickering in your modem's switch. Hope this would trigger something in your mind to check the parameters defined in the ora.ini file and web server parameters etc etc etc

Drastic problems running Forms using JavaPlugin

I'm facing some problems running my Forms application using JRE/JPI. My Forms version is 10g release 1 and JRE version is 1.4.2_13. I've upgraded my Application Server with patch to make it run smoothly with JRE. Patch ID is p4948949_9043_WINNT (patch 3). So my upgraded Forms version is 9.0.4.3.
Problems are as follows:
** There's a problem in Font, it's not appearing on application as configured. So I want to unistall the patch and restore my Forms version to previous version but I don't know how to uninstall this patch.
** Another issue which seems to be JRE related problem is I can't use mouse to select control on my Forms running application. I've to press TAB key to navigate through controls such as TEXT_ITEM. When I'm running application using JInitiator, this problem doesn't occur, I can click on any control of Forms , so I think it's JRE related problem.
Ours is a large scale application...this is why I'm in great problem now. Could someone help me resolve these issues?

Sun has suggested that Oracle bug 5512094 will not be included into a production release until 1.5.0_13. For reasons unknown to us, the fix will not likely make it into _12. Since we are not responsible for their releases, this information may or may not be accurate. You will need to contact Sun for the latest details regarding their releases.
In the mean time, it is recommended you continue to use the special release you were provided by Oracle Support. However, also ensure that you have installed the latest one-off patches on the server which address several focus issues. Below is a list of the latest based on which version you may be using.
Forms 9.0.4.3 > Metalink Patch ID# 5750167 (New as of Jan 24, 2007)
Forms 10.1.2.0.2 > Metalink Patch ID# 5677148
Forms 10.1.2.2 > Metalink Patch ID# 5750193
As mentioned, both Oracle and Sun are investigating several other focus issues, so these patches may not correct your issue.
The best suggestion would be to create a reproducible test case and provide it to Support. This will help Oracle to better determine if your issue is one which we are already aware of or if yours is a new issue.
