Query-by-example Forms 10g

Hi,
I'm kind of embarrassed to be asking such a basic question, but here goes.
In earlier versions of Forms, it was easy to put &A into a field, and on execute query, Forms would pop up a box, and you could write "&a is null" (or some other more complex query fragment) which allowed you do a query for situations were a field was null.
You can't seem to do this now in forms 10g.
You can still put "# is null" into a field if the query length is long enough I know, but I have seen no documentation on the loss of this query by example facility.
We're using v10.1.2 by the way.
As usual, any help gratefully received.
cheers
Tony

You're right ...
Found this : http://groundside.com/blog/DuncanMills.php?m=200407 (search for QBE on the page). Not sure what the setting is for 10g - I assume FORMS_RESTRICT_ENTER_QUERY
Otherwise it is as you say ...

Frm-40505:ORACLE error: unable to perform query in oracle forms 10g

Hi,
I get error frm-40505:ORACLE error: unable to perform query on oracle form in 10g environment, but the same form works properly in 6i.
Please let me know what do i need to do to correct this problem.
Regards,
Priya

Hi everyone,
I have block created on view V_LE_USID_1L (which gives the error frm-40505) . We don't need any updation on this block, so the property 'updateallowed' is set to 'NO'.
To fix this error I modified 'Keymode' property, set it to 'updatable' from 'automatic'. This change solved the problem with frm-40505 but it leads one more problem.
The datablock v_le_usid_1l allows user to enter the text (i.e. updated the field), when the data is saved, no message is shown. When the data is refreshed on the screen, the change done previously on the block will not be seen (this is because the block updateallowed is set to NO), how do we stop the fields of the block being editable?
We don't want to go ahead with this solution as, we might find several similar screens nad its diff to modify each one of them individually. When they work properly in 6i, what it doesn't in 10g? does it require any registry setting?
Regards,
Priya

Modifying the Inner Query Statement in FORMS 10g

Hi,
I have a form with a Search Criteria section. The user builds the search criteria by puting values in the ITEMS. Then I want to query the table USING the criteria entered by the user.
I know this is possible.
How would I modify ORACLE's query statement in the form.
I did this a VERY LONG time ago (forms 4.0), but don't remember how to !!!
Please Help,
Marc.

Hi ,

Not able insert ,query data from forms

hi,
I am not able to insert data or query data from forms(10g devsuite).getting error frm-40505,frm 40508 .i am able to insert and select record from sql plus.the block ihave created is control block .it is connected to the table using the properties.
should i do anything to insert record.please help

the block ihave created is control block .it is connected to the table using the properties.A Control Block, by definition, is a non-database block. This means the block is not directly connected to a table so you have to manually display data in the block and any DML you want to perform on data in this block you must do manually as well.
There are four database objects you can base your database block on; 1) a Table, 2) a View, 3) From Clause Query (basically an In-line View), and 4) a database stored procedure. I recommend you use one of these four methods rather than manually display your data.

Query execution taking longer time in Oracle form 10g !!

Hi,
I'm generating a report through Oracle form ( forms 10g) and its taking 3-4 hours to finish. But when I run the same report query in (Oracle 11g) database, it gets executed in less than 40 mins.
The form takes only from and to date as input.
I tried hardcoring the date in the Oracle Form and then the report takes only 40 mins to generate.
I tried various approaches like changing the datatypes of form variable and correspondingly changing the query, but met with no success.
When the report in run through the form , we can see the query getting run in backend for nearly 3 hrs !!! tats really confusing !!
Please let me know, if anybody got any idea on this problem??

Hi,
Even I am facing the same problem above. I am trying to fetch results from a cursor which has subquery running over the db link and placing the results set in a csv file using client_io package. When I run the cursor directly from database (11G), it takes not more than 3-4 min to get the results back. But when I run the same cursor via oracle forms 10G, the query in local database keep on waiting for hours to get results from remote database with "SQL*Net message from dblink". Session on local database remains in active status with state as "Waiting" while the session on remote database goes inactive with state as waiting for event "SQL*Net message from client"
This is confusing me since the same query when ran directly from backend fetches results soon.
Please let me know if anyone can help here
Thanks

Forms 10g installed and running on Windows Vista

Update 12-Dec-2008: Oracle has published NOTE 559067.1 -- How to Install Developer Suite 10.1.2.0.2 - hence 10.1.2.3 - on Windows Vista, 24-OCT-2008 with some installation help.
Update 07-July-2008: Added text at the bottom showing how to find patchsets for Forms 10g.
Update 29-May-2008: This thread was started in November, 2007. In January, 2008, Oracle released Patch 3 for Forms 10g, which makes Forms 10g compatible with Windows Vista. As time permits I'll try to keep the information in this post up to date. Updated information will be inserted as blue text.

Original message begins here:
This is a second thread I am posting to outline the steps I have used to install Forms on a Windows Vista Home Basic laptop. The other thread describes installing Forms 6i:
Forms 6i installed and running on Windows Vista
Please read through the initial part of that post for the background. I realize Oracle has not certified Forms 10g to run on Vista, but the time has come for my associates and I to upgrade our old computers to new desktop/laptop platforms, and I would hate to acquire XP machines and be stuck with them for the next 5 years. (Note: Since first posting this message, Oracle has certified Forms 10g Patch 3 (version 10.1.2.3.0) to run on Vista) So after another person informed me that he had Forms installed and running on Vista, I went ahead and bought one. I found that as long as I set the compatibility mode to run Forms programs as Windows XP (and a few other changes), Forms 6i and 10g run quite satisfactorily.
Update 29-Jan-2008: Unfortunately, it turns out that the Forms 10g Builder running on Vista had a major flaw: If you try to develop a form, the Builder will crash if you try to compile a procedure that calls another procedure in the form that has errors. The problem is reported and described in this thread: Error compiling a form under Vista
Update 12-Mar-2008: Installing Patch 3 on Vista does not help with this problem -- the Builder still crashes in the same situation.
Update 25-July-2008: Applying Patch 7047034 has corrected the problem. See this link within this thread: Forms 10g: Installing Patch 7047034 on Windows Vista
Webutil note: I am stuck in a Forms 6i client/server world, so all my forms must run in that environment. Therefore I have not used any Webutil software, and I do not know whether that part will run under Vista.
Internet Explorer note: On Windows Vista, IE CANNOT be used to run the Web Forms runtime. It crashes immediately when you try to run a form. Instead, I can use either Firefox (Firefox 2, Firefox 3.0 Crashes with Forms 10g) or Netscape, as long as they are set to disable java. [ Correction: IE7 on Vista now runs the Forms 10g forms. You just need to add "?config=jpi" to the browser URL when starting the Web Forms session. More IE/Vista info: [url=http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=642973]Vista JInitiator Problem ]
The Oracle Developer Suite download page:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ids/index.html
Oracle Developer Suite Installation Guide:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25016_07//doc/dl/core/B16012_04/toc.htm
The steps below are those I followed to install Forms 10g (version 10.1.2.0.2)
I. Preliminary system changes in Windows
When I started installing, I got the following error message: Install has encountered an error while
 attempting to verify your virtual memory settings.
 Please verify that the sum of the initial sizes of
 the paging files is at least 256 MB.To fix this: Go to Control Panel, System and Maintenance, View amount of RAM and processor speed (under "System"),
Advanced system settings (in left "Tasks" column), Advanced tab, Settings (under "performance"), Advanced tab:
Virtual Memory shows a "Total paging file size for all drives: 2337MB.
Click "change", Uncheck "Automatically manage paging file size for all drives"
Click "custom size:", set Initial size to: 2048, Max to 4096
Click set button, then OK, get message:The changes you have made require you to restart your computer before
 they can take effect.Restart the computer.
II. Installing Forms 10g
1. Download two files from Oracle:
ds_windows_x86_101202_disk1.zip (626,122,752 bytes)
ds_windows_x86_101202_disk2.zip (236,880,881 bytes)
2a. Before extracting, it is a good idea to shut down any virus protection software. It can sometimes prevent some files from being created.
2b. Extract both into the C:\oracle directory, as disk1 and disk2.
3. Using Windows Explorer, change the properties of setup.exe in the C:\oracle\disk1 folder. (In windows explorer, right click, properties, Compatibility tab.) Change the compatibility to run as Windows XP (Service Pack 2).
4. Right click setup.exe and click "Run as administrator"
5. Select "Installation type" = Complete (1.11 GB)
6. Received this message:Windows Firewall has blocked this program from
accepting incoming network connections. If you
unblock this program, it will be unblocked on all
public networks that you connect to.
C:\users\steve\appdata\local\temp\orainstall...
2007-10-29_11-59-08am\jre\1.4.2\bin\javaw.exeI clicked "Unblock"
7. Received this message: "Provide outgoing mail server information" I entered the smtp mail server that I use.
8. A summary screen displayed showing 274 products under New Installations.
I clicked the Install button.
9. Received this message: You can find a log of this install session at:
C:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory\logs\installActions2007.....log
10. The installation completed. Installed products shows Forms 10.1.2.0.2
III. After the install completed
1. Create a shortcut to the Forms 10 Builder on the Desktop.
On the shortcut line, after the .exe, add *userid=userxxx/pwxxx@orcl* so Builder automatically logs into 10g database. If you do step 4 below (creating an easily-accessible folder to use for your forms) change the "Start in" path on the shortcut so it points to that folder. Otherwise, Forms Builder will not find referenced objects and PLL libraries when it opens a form. Also do the same on the Start, All Programs shortcut for the Forms Builder.
Edit: After applying Patch 3, the following steps are not necessary.
Set its compatibility to Windows XP.
Set checkbox: "Run this program as as an administrator." (Without this, FormBuilder will NOT open a PLL library.)
Click the "Show settings for all users" and change values there.
2. Copy "Start OC4J Instance" icon to desktop.
Set its compatibility to Windows XP.
The first time it runs, I got a Windows popup to unblock program named Java. I clicked "Unblock".
3. tnsnames.ora:
Rename C:\oracle\DevSuiteHome_1\network\admin\tnsnames.ora
to: tnsnames_orig.ora
If you created a tnsnames.ora file for Forms 6i, just copy it to the path above. If not, do this:
Create a new tnsnames.ora file, copying entries old file on my old laptop, which contains all the connections I use.
Delete the old laptop entry, replace with new entry for the new local ORCL connection on new laptop from tnsnames file renamed from the c:\oracle\... ...\10.2.0\db_1\ path.
4. Optional: Create an easily accessible folder to store fmb files:
C:\users\steve\.1\fmb10
You don't really want to keep drilling into C:\oracle\DevSuiteHome_1\forms, and then find your .fmb file among the several dozen oracle-supplied files.
To create a folder named .1, you have to open a CMD.exe (Windows DOS) window, and type the Make Directory command:
MD .1
That will create the folder within the current directory -- mine defaults to C:\users\steve
Note: If you also need to use Forms 6i like me, DO NOT EVER open a .fmb file in the Forms 10 Builder from the Forms 6i folder. If you compile it, or even worse, save the .fmb, Forms 6i *cannot ever* access the file. Instead, always use the File Manager (Windows Explorer) to copy the fmb from the fmb6 folder into the fmb10 location.
5. Change the Forms 10g Default.env file using a text editor.
This file replaces all the settings originally written to the Windows Registry (GREAT idea, Oracle! I hate the registry.) No more Regedit. The default.env file is located at: (DevSuiteHome_1 path)\forms\server\default.env
Locate line with: FORMS_PATH= and add:
;C:\users\steve\.1\fmb10
Add a new line:
FORMS_MMAP=FALSE
The above allows compiling an fmx while the form is running.
Add a new line:
FORMS_ROWLOCK_OPTIMIZATION=FALSE
(This fixes Oracle bug number 3949854, which prevents automatic skipping if the same value is typed over another value. TAR 4806199.993 Automatic Skip failure...) See bug 4068896
Add a new Line:
FORMS_RESTRICT_ENTER_QUERY=False
This allows use of Query-Where window in enter query, after entering a colon in any input field. Without this, Forms returns FRM-40367: Invalid criteria in field nnn in example record. Oracle shut it down to prevent "sql injection" attacks.
6. Jiniator setup:
Run file jinit.exe in C:\oracle\DevSuiteHime_1\jinit\jinit.exe
It installs Jinitiator 1.3.1.22.
I installed it in C:\oracle\JInitiator 1.3.1.22\
For Firefox, make sure a copy of file \bin\NPJinit13122.dll resides in C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins.
For Netscape, the path is: C:\Program Files\Netscape\Navigator 9\plugins
7. Browser settings
See the note above about using Firefox 2 and not Firefox 3!
In Firefox 2 go to: Tools-> Options-> Content
Uncheck the "Enable Java" checkbox
--Firefox terminates if this is not done!
Note: After my system automatically installed updates to either java or Firefox, re-check the "Enable Java" setting. I am suspicious that one of these installs re-enables java in the browser.
Also note: some web sites cannot display properly if java is disabled. Example: U.S. time website: http://www.time.gov Use Internet Explorer to view these.
In Netscape make the same changes as Firefox. Without disabling java, it also terminates when you try to run a form.
Creating a url to use in the browser:
Try this:
http://127.0.0.1:8889/forms/frmservlet
If it does not work, change the 8889 port number as follows:
Open file: C:\oracle\DevSuiteHome_1\install\portlist.ini
Note the number in line:
Oracle Developer Suite HTTP port = 8889
Use the number as the port number.
You can also change the 127.0.0.1 to the computer name:
Control Panel, System and Maintenance, See the name of this computer (under "System"). Mine is "steve-PC"
So the alternate URL is: http://steve-PC:8889/forms/frmservlet
To try out the URL, start the OC4J instance set up above. Then start either Netscape or Firefox, and enter the URL. You should get a welcome screen.
If the above URL works, start up the Forms Builder, and open Edit, Preferences. On the General tab, uncheck the "Build before running" check box (optional). On the Runtime tab, set the "Application Server URL to the url above.
To run a real form, add this to the URL after frmservlet, (with no spaces):
?form={formname}&userid={userxxx}/{passwordyyy}@{connect-string}
but replace the parts in curly braces with the appropriate values. Example:
http://127.0.0.1:8889/forms/frmservlet?form=ABC&userid=abc123/zyx@orcl
Setting up Forms Builder to directly run a form in the browser:
Run the Forms Builder. Go to Edit, Preferences, Runtime tab.
Set the Application Server URL to:
http://127.0.0.1:8889/forms/frmservlet
(or use whatever URL string you developed above)
Set the Web Browser Location to:
"C:\Program Files\Netscape\Navigator 9\navigator.exe"
(or an equivalent to run the Firefox browser).
8. FORMSWEB.CFG file changes
The file is located at:
C:\ORA_DS_101202\DevSuiteHome_1\forms\server\formsweb.cfg
I changed the following two lines in the file, but these are my personal preferences:
separateFrame=true
lookandfeel=Generic
9. FMRWEB.RES file changes
For Oracle help: Enabling Key Mappings
The file fmrweb.res defines actions (triggers that run) when a function key is pressed while running Forms. The one released has unix-style key mapping, but I prefer keys originally mapped for Windows PC Forms users. There is a fmrpcweb.res in the same folder that can be renamed to fmrweb.res.
In the C:\oracle\DevSuiteHome_1\forms path, I renamed fmrweb.res to fmrweb_orig.res.
I have a file that I prefer to use, so I put it into the folder as fmrweb.res. The contents are listed below. It is organized so the most important keys are listed alphabetically at the top (URFD column is the sort column), followed by a group of less-important keys. These are keys that are available to users, but they either would not use, or are disabled within most forms. The URFD column in the second set starts with a hex A0 character, which is a high-order space, so collates after normal alphabetic characters. (Note: If you want to copy the text below and use it, the hex A0 character has been changed by the forum software to a space. So you would need to use a text editor with hexadecimal character capabilities to replace the space with the original character. )
My file has special keys defined for F2 (I use it for a debugging Key-F2 trigger in my forms), and a "Cursor to Home" F12 function. All the rest are pretty much the same as in the released fmrpcweb.res file, only mine are organized alphabetically on the URFD column.
The Web Forms fmrweb.res file is editable using any programming editor (NOT MS Word!!!). The old Client/Server key mapping file, fmrusw.res, could only be changed using the Oracle Terminal program (and it is a pain to use).
Here is the main part of my fmrweb.res file:#

I followed your instructions and installed Developer Suite 10G on Windows Vista Home Premium edition. I have Oracle 11G DB running on the same machine.
Two points, Steve:
1. When I tried to set the maximum virtual memory to 6110 an error message displayed from Windows and told me that I can't set the maximum virtual memory to more than 4096. I set it to 4090 and it worked and I got nothing wrong during the installation process.
2. After installing JInitiator and disabling Java on Firefox I called the http://127.0.0.1:8889/forms/frmservlet page and everything seemed to be OK because the Oracle Forms Services logo appeared and then a successful installation message appeared , but as I clicked (ok) to continue a gray screen appeared inside the browser (like the one displayed when you try to run a Java applet inside a browser) and then I wait to death till something appears but sadly nothing. I just get a blank gray screen inside my Firefox browser.
Do you have any idea what to do to solve the problem?

Execute_query not showing the -WORKING ...- Message on Forms 10g

Hello,
There is a strange thing happening with our Forms that were migrated to 10g.
1) Our keys were remapped to the ones used in the 6i Version. For example: CTL+L is F9
2) When a user presses F7 and then F8, on Forms 6i, we have the sequence of message:
Enter a query; press F8, CTRL+q to cancel
then
Working ...
and finally we get the records.
However on Forms 10g, we have when a user presses F7 and then F8 :
Enter a query; press F8, CTRL+q to cancel
and the message -WORKING...- is not shown and after a while we get the records.
There are no message_level before the enter_query or execute_query and there is no :system.suppress_working in the form.
What could be the problem ?

1) Our keys were remapped to the ones used in the 6i Version. For example: CTL+L is F9 Key mapping is controlled by the file fmrweb.res in path <DevSuiteHome_1 path>/forms/
Forms 10g is released with a unix style file where Ctrl+L is mapped to List of Values. There is an alternate file named fmrpcweb.res that maps F9 to List of Values. By renaming fmrweb.res to something else, and copying fmrpcweb.res to fmrweb.res, you will get the PC platform functionality.
You can edit the Web Forms fmrweb.res file using a text editor to tailor the function keys any way you need.
and the message -WORKING...- is not shown and after a while we get the records.Hmmm.... I tried that with a simple "default" test form, and indeed, the working... message does NOT appear, even when I set the Query Array size and Records Buffered properties to 1000 and queried a very large table. Why don't you open a Service Request with Oracle, and report back if you find a solution.

Forms 10g 10.1.2.3 with Microsoft Internet Explorer 8.0 in Win 7 64bit

Hi all
i am not able to open the application forms developed with forms 10g(10.1.2.3 ) in IE8.
I am able to open it from the same client using google chrome or Firefox 3.6.
JRE is 1.6 update 33.
Does any body knows what should be the settings of IE8 , to make forms of with IE8.
Is there any metalink how to document?
Thank you in advance
Kreshnik

HI
this is my formsweb.cfg. I think it is OK since i can magae to open the forms from FF 3.5 and Chrome.
the problem is with IE 8 that is it certified for forms 10.1.2.3 version
thanks and regards

Forms 10G Replacing Oracle Logo in Menu Bar

Hello:
Forms 10G Replacing Oracle Logo in Menu Bar
We use lookAndFeel=oracle which gives Oracle Logo in the Manu Bar at top right corner.
What is the simplest way to replace this with our own logo?
Thanks

Forms 10g hangs while running a procedure which has got lot of loops

Hi,
When executing a procedure in Forms 10g which fetches millions of records, application getting stuck.
What parameter is required to be changed in forms configuration?
Can any1 help me out???
Thanks in advance,
Natz.

Particularly this passage:
MaxBlockTime
MaxBlockTime is the time in mili seconds to wait when reading data from the
Runform process.
e.g. a long query, lots of complex processing
(default = 1000 milli sec)
/j2EE/OC4J_BI_Forms/application/forms90app/forms90web/WEB-INF/web.xml
or
/j2EE/OC4J_BI_Forms/application/formsapp/formsweb/WEB-INF/web.xml
Example
=======
<servlet>
<servlet-name>l90servlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>oracle.forms.servlet.ListenerServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>maxBlockTime</param-name>
<param-value>1800000</param-value>
</init-param>
</servlet>
or
<servlet>
<servlet-name>lservlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>oracle.forms.servlet.ListenerServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>maxBlockTime</param-name>
<param-value>1800000</param-value>
</init-param>
</servlet>
What happens?
=============
For long requests (like querying a big table), the Listener
Servlet waits for a default time of 1 second for the Forms
runtime process to complete the request
If the request is not completed then the Listener Servlet sends a busy
response to the client asking the client to retry.
The client sends a retry zero content length request to check if the query is
complete.
This default time of 1 second can be configured using Listener Servlet
parameter called maxBlockTime

Oracle Forms 10G(tabbed canvasses not working the same as in Forms 6i)

Hi everyone,
I have a form which gets called from another form through a list of value. The called form(second form) has a group of tabbed canvases which get displayed depending on the parameters passed from the first form.
The Form is working prefectly fine in Forms 6i but when I converted the same form in to forms 10G it does not seem to work the same way. The tabbed canvasses are not getting displayed. I am manually having to press the execute query to get data displayed in the tabbed canvasses. I checked the parameters that are being passed and they are the same as that in Forms 6i.
Please let me know where my 10G Form is going wrong. Appreciate your help, please send me an email on [email protected]
Thanks

Batch procedure in Forms 10g, calling rdf and send by mail

Hi all,
I need your advice regarding my task: i have a table with invoices of some clients. I have created a report in Oracle Reports 10g R2, so to have a pdf with all the data from this table.
I have created a form in Forms 10g R2, displaying in a screen one field, where the user can choose the date of invoice. Then i will query by that date all my invoices in that table, and then i want to create a procedure in Forms, so that for every line in that table with the invoice date just chosen i will run HOST(rwrun ... all my parameters).
My questions:
1. I need to read some more about how to create a custom xml so to pass to my rwrun, and depending on the records fetched in my cursors in Forms 10g, i will pass a xml variable to my reports, so i will get the data from Forms 10g in the report created in Oracle Reports 10g. Is there any way that i can grep the errors? I need to create some insertions based on succes on failure, how can i accomplish this?
2. Is the above described scenario way to complicated to loop throuh a cursor, create a pdf, and mail the pdf until the cursor is totally fetched? Do you recommend me a simpler way to accomplish this task?
Thank you so much,
Michael.

Hello,
I have a report with all my clients, with their email addresses in the same report. Each client as unique account number or invoice number.
So i want to burst and distribute each invoice to the corresponding client:

2. From Oracle Reports, i click on Distribution list, and in the DESNAME i type email_address (which is the column from the table with the invoices).
3. Then, File >> Distribute. Says: distribution completed succesfully, but nothing happens.
Question:
1. Where am i mistaking?
2. Is there any log activity file that i could see what the application is doing, step by step?
Thank you,
Michael
