Questions RE: Oracle Developper Forms 9i

Re: Oracle Forms
I urgently need help with Oracle Forms and Reports. Do you do consulting on an
hourly basis? If so, how much do you charge? Is there a minimum?
I am a student in a master's program for database admin and development. As
part of a what has turned out be a rather ambitious project, I built a
database on Oracle8i (UNIX), and developed the front end tools using Oracle
Developer 9i. The project deadline is fast approaching, and although most of
the development is done, I need help with very specific questions to get the
application and final report ready for presentation next week, on Thursday,
5th of December.
Specifically, I need help with the following:
* how to attach a report to the main menu
* how to attach a form to the main menu
* how to make graphics that can be seen in the paper layout, also visible in a
web report
* how to generate pie charts using the graphics tool
For some reason, my email address displays as 'null' in the Oracle newsgroup interface,
and there doesn't seem to be an intuitive way to change that on the prefs page.
If you want to reply directly to me, my email is: [email protected]
Thanks in advance.

Questions on Oracle Logical DB Structure

Hi friends
I just started to read oracle architecure, I have the following questions on Oracle Logical DB Stucture
Can any help me to find out the answers for it.
1. What Table Directory portion in Oracle Data Block store?
I read some where "Table Directory portion in data block contains information about the table having rows in this block"
Is Data Dictionary also contain the information about the Tables and where it stored? If so why Data block also need to contain the same information.
2. Does Table Directory portion in Oracle Data Block contains details about each Column and Row description or only the general details about the table
3. How many blocks will form a Extent. Is it configurable ?, Where we need to configure whether we need specify it in Storage Parameters or in some configuration files?
4. How are Bitmap used to track used and Free space in Locally managed Tablespaces
5. Do Extent also span files(ORA files)
i.e. 'Table can span across ORA files' whether it means part of a Extent may present in one Data file and other part in another data file.

5. Do Extent also span files(ORA files) i.e. 'Table can span across ORA files' whether it means part of a Extent may present in one Data file and other part in another data file.
A table Extents can span into multiple datafiles. But, a single extent can't span into multiple datafiles.
4. How are Bitmap used to track used and Free space in Locally managed TablespacesA Locally Managed Tablespace is a tablespace that manages its own extents maintaining a bitmap in each datafile to keep track of the free or used status of blocks in that datafile. Each bit in the bitmap corresponds to a block or a group of blocks. When the extents are allocated or freed for reuse, Oracle changes the bitmap values to show the new status of the blocks. These changes do not generate rollback information because they do not update tables in the data dictionary (except for tablespace quota information), unlike the default method of Dictionary - Managed Tablespaces.
** Reduced recursive space management
** Reduced contention on data dictionary tables
** No rollback generated
** No coalescing required
3. How many blocks will form a Extent. Is it configurable ?, Where we need to configure whether we need specify it in Storage Parameters or in some configuration files?

How to create a text field in Oracle apps11i Forms.

Hi Guru's
I have the following requirement to modifiy the PO Receiving screen in Oracle apps 11i,
1. An additional field (No. of Items to recive) need to be created to the “PO Receiving” screen of Oracle apps 11i .
2. Once user mentioned the po num, PO Line Num and quantity in the newly created text field and when he/she click on the Find Button , the receipt lines (lines should be as many as the quantity mentioned in the newly created field) should be create in the receipt screen
Please let me know if this can be achived through Form Personalization or is there any other approach?
Thanks,
Mustaq.

Mustaq,
First and foremost; never under any circumstance should you modify an Oracle EBS form. This is a violation of the EBS License Agreement. Oracle has provided methods of capturing data that is not part of a form. I suggest you dig through the Oracle Applications Documentation and read up on using Descriptive Flex-Fields (DFF).
Also, Francois is right. For this type of question, the General EBS Discussion forum is the best place to post this question.

How to add a new fiels to to a customized standard Oracle apps forms

Hi Guru's
I have the following requirement to modifiy the PO Receiving screen in Oracle apps 11i,
1. An additional field (No. of Items to recive) need to be created to the “PO Receiving” screen of Oracle apps 11i .
2. Once user mentioned the po num, PO Line Num and quantity in the newly created text field and when he/she click on the Find Button , the receipt lines (lines should be as many as the quantity mentioned in the newly created field) should be create in the receipt screen
Please let me know if this can be achived through Form Personalization or is there any other approach?
Thanks,
Mustaq.

Mustaq,
Why do you want to customize (and break support for the PO Receiving Form) instead of extend the form with Descriptive Flex-Fields (DFF) as I suggested when I responded to your earlier question regarding this same subject: How to create a text field in Oracle apps11i Forms.?
Also, as Francois, Andreas and I have pointed out - the general Forms forum is not the proper place to ask EBS related questions. Yes, there are people in this Forum that have or are currently working with the EBS, but that is not the purpose of this forum. Please post your question in the General EBS Discussion forum. If you have a general Forms question, by all means, ask it here! ;-) Customizing or using a DFF is not a "general Forms question" so please use the appropriate forum! :-)

CONNECTING ORACLE 9I OR 10G DATABASE WITH ORACLE 10G FORMS AND REPORTS

pls tell how to connect oracle 9i or 10g database with oracle developer suite 10g . though the forms are getting connected but not running with error as
FRM-10142 the HTTP listner is not running on pls start the listner or check your runtime preferences.
now pls tell how to start listner and how to chage runtime preferences.
though i have worked with oracle 9i and forms 6i where we used to copy the tnsnames.ora from network/admin of oracle to forms 6i tnsnames.ora.
thank you, you may be thinking such a long question.....

sir
By server i mean the computer where oc4j and backend database are running is one one of the client pc not a dedicated server..., these database and 10g dev suite are installed in one of the client machine,
all the clients are using same internet explorer as browser.
no message is being displyed on some of the client machine where these forms are not being uploaded on browser instead it displays as done in status bar without actually showing anything at all...
sir so far as jinitiator or JRE is concered i have seen on the client machine (where my forms are running on internet explorer) a pop up is displyed telling one activex control is required to run this program and click to install it..
after clicking it download jinitiator from server and after installing jinitiator my forms are loaded and start functioning...
what i feel is as i said this machine where oc4j and database is running is one of the client machine so some other clients do not have acess to this machine, so this might be the reason why those clints are not able to run the said forms on the internet explorer.... can it be so... kindly tell..
thank you for your patience for reading the question

URL Problem Oracle 10g Forms and Reports

Hello Room,
As this question is related to forms and reports both, I have posted it here. I have a system which needs to be deployed in Local Lan Network and also the same Local Lan user should be able to access the same application via internet. In Addition there are also suppliers, customers who dosen't have oracle installed but will be accessing forms and reports via the url through internet which will be a natted url to our public IP. I have loaded Oracle 11g on windows 7 and all my network clients are on windows 7. I have not loaded forms and reports 10g on server, but only database 11g is installed on server. My problem is listed in points below:-
1. Do I need to install forms and reports on server to achieve the above scenario ? or the local network installation of forms and reports on all client PC's will do ?
2. To start OC4J instance, shall i start it only on server through batch file while booting server, or it needs to be started on all client PC's to start work from client end ?
3. When i run forms from my client PC I get local url http://127.0.0.1/ to reach forms servlet which end up in http://localpc/.... from cookie redirect, whether this needs to be http://server/...... on all client PC's to reach the forms servlet ?
4. If I have to start url http://server/ instead of http://127.0.0.1/... automatically while running every form to reach forms servlet, how to achieve this ?
5. There are reports to be run from forms and parameters needs to be passed in reports from forms 10g. So in web.show_document shall i refer to absolute url for local acccess or http://server url as the same user can go to internet to access the data. ?
6. if I load forms and reports 10g on server, do I need to install forms and reports on client end seperately to gain access in local network ?
7. My forms and reports folders are located on server which are shared for access.
8. What will be the scenario in case of suppliers and customers who does not have anything installed on their PC and will access forms and reports through internet ?
I want to minimize my work. Please suggest me how to proceed about accessing forms, passing url from forms to reports in web.show_document, and Internet access url ?
Your help is highly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I have tried to explain you in decent way several times that I am not lazy and there are reasons that I do not want to read pdf, because I have already read that all ! In the future please do not respond to my thread. I am not asking for your personal time. If you do not understand my efforts. Just ignore it. I have read all the white papers of Oracle and give me your email id, I will send you all the code which I have read or downloaded. You should know that the knowledge diminish as the technology change. And that does not mean every user in the forum is stupid and as wise as you are. I repeat to state that I have 15 years of experience in Oracle forms 6i._ including Oracle 7,8,9i. This is the first time I am ever visiting oracle forums since past several years. I was the first person to use oracle 7 in my city where people were not knowing what oracle is. At that time I was knowing that the password for scott is tiger which even the reputed institutes in my city was not knowing. at that time I was also knowing that one of the person from oracle made a mistake in indexing the rowid. I think this should be enough to you for now.

Using scatter graph type in oracle 10g forms using bi beans

hi.. how i can use scatter graph type in oracle 10g using bi beans..
it seems scatter graph is supported in 10g but it doesnt work at all..
i used to use oracle graphics builder in oracle 6i forms,now i need to convert all my old graphs to 10g forms..the line,bar and pie it work very well but the scatter didnt work..
so please if anyone know how to use it please tell me.. and what versions of bi beans support the scatter graph type
thanks.
u can email me in
[email protected]

Hi,
What version of Oracle Forms are you using? If it is 10.1.2.0.2 (10g R2 Phase 2) then the BI Beans version should be 10.1.2.1 (3.2.2.0.24.2).
When you run a Graph, do you see any version numbers?
Regardless of the version, scatter graph should work. What kind of errors are you getting?
When you install BI Beans in JDeveloper, you get access to BI Beans Help. Go to the following topic for setting up data for a scatter graph:
Help -> Building Applications with BI Beans -> Presenting Data in Graphs -> Specifying Data for Graphs
Did you try posting your question on the Oracle Forms forum?

Why record had been unlock in Oracle Apps form?

I have a problem with lock in oracle apps forms.
The problem occurs with all forms in the Oracle Financials (forms with standard oracle apps user-exit), the problem does not occur with standard Oracle default form (outside of the oracle apps, form without user-exit included in Oracle Financials).
For exemple, I will take the Define Lookups forms.
If USER1 modify a record (ex. modify the date from), the record is locked, if USER2 try to update the same record in an other session, he will received an error message indicating that the record is locked and he will not be able to update it. This is normal.
But ..., if USER1 WAIT 1 minute, and just press TAB to go to an other field (WITHOUT SAVING, WITHOUT DOING ANYTHING ELSE), the record is unlock.
USER2 can modify the same record without having the locked message. This is the problem, USER2 should receive an error message because USER1 did not save the record yet but the message do not appear. At this moment USER2 lock the record. If USER1 press SAVE key, his session will be freeze until USER2 save the record.
Why the record had been unlock for USER1 session?
My Oracle Apps version is 11.5.5.
Does somebody ever seen this problem ?
Thanks.

There are forums specifically for posing questions relating to EBS. I would recommend you ask your question there.

Problem with do click on a field - Oracle 10g form - UNIX

I nedd a help. I have a problem with a Oracle 10g form when it was executed in UNIX environment.
The problem is that when I do click with the mouse in a different field, doesn't lead me to the other field. That is, don't let me to do click on a different field than the initial field of the form. Just work with TAB or ENTER.

Adding a value to an LOV in an Oracle apps form

Hi Guys
Im new to forms and customizations in apps as im sure will be apparent with the questions i have :-)I have a requirement to add a value to an LOV on a field in an oracle apps form.
My question is
1: How do i get the lov query?
2: How do i edit an existing query.
3: How can i solve this problem.
Thanks

Since you are working with the E-Business Suite, most likely the LOV is based on a Value Set. I strongly recommend you confer with a coworker for guidance on how to investigate an Oracle EBS Form. Value Sets are defined within the EBS setup screens and you have to be assigned to a responsibility that will allow you to modify and create Value Sets. I also strongly recommend you visit the Oracle Applications Documentation web site and review the Oracle Applications Developer's Guide and Oracle Applications User Interface Standards for Forms-Based Products for your particular version of the EBS.
Also, the General EBS Discussion is the more appropriate forum to post this type of question.
Hope this helps.

If you want to run forms without the IE browser (hidden)
Try this
To open web forms just like client server with a hidden IE window, I have invented two methods.

3. Now i m installing Oracle forms 11g 64(-bit). its show me an error (INST-07407: Unable to detect machine platform or JVM bits)
please help me out. waiting for your positive reply.

3. Now i m installing Oracle forms 11g 64(-bit). its show me an error (INST-07407: Unable to detect machine platform or JVM bits)It looks like you are installing the 32-bit version of Oracle Fusion Middleware (FMw) 11g - not the 64-bit version. As a test, install the 32-bit JRE and run the FMw installer again. If it continues past this point - you've got the 32-bit installer and not the 64-bit installer. :)
