Run Oracle form non-interactively

I am using Oracle 8i.
I want to be able to run a form non-interactively, that is, in batch mode.
The reason for that is that the application is a "turn-key" package and I don't have access to the source. I want to be able to run the form from a UNIX script rather than having a human key in the input.
I know what the screen fields need to be and which function key to "press".
Has anyone run a form non-interactively?
Is this possible?
Can anyone suggest a way of doing this? I was thinking that the UNIX utility expect may help.

I think it is better for you to ask this question in Oracle Forms/Oracle Forms Server development forum.
This issue would better addressed in Development forums.

Loading http://abc:8889/forms/java/printtext.jar from JAR cache
This tells me you are using a 3rd party or locally developed Java Bean to perform some type of print function. Is this correct?
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: java.io.IOException: open HTTP connection failed.Does your printtext.jar Java Bean need to open an HTTP connection in order to print?
Have you been able to print in the past using this Java Bean? Where did you get the Java Bean?
RegisterWebUtil - Loading WebUtil Version 10.1.2.0Your form appears to be using WebUtil. Has it been successfully configured?
Honestly, you need to list the following minimum information when you post a question; it gives us all or most of the information we need to help you and it eliminates the need for us to ask for this information. Please always include:
* Forms Version (eg; 10.1.2.0.0 not 10g)
* Java Version
* Client OS version
* What you were doing when the error occured.

Adobe Form - non-Interactive Pdf Print - Access to table cell

Hi experts
I am new to Adobe Print Form (non-interactive flowed form) and I am desparately need your help.
I am merging table data from a context into a table on a form layout and then use function call to generate a print form and send it out as an email. Sofar, everything works fine - except one of the requirement that if , on any row, a cell value in column 1 > 5 (i.e. example), set the font color to red.
I tried all sort of ways (in JavaScript) - but cannot get hold of the cell to check the value. Please show me
1) how to get to the cell in Javascript
2) in What event that I must place the Javascript in
At the moment, I have the form layout as followed:
Data
| Report
| | Table1
| | | Header
| | | | ...........H_Fd1
| | | | ...........H_Fd2
| | | Row
| | | | ...........R_Fd1
| | | | ...........R_Fd2
etc...
There are no reference to "table" object in Adobe lc designer - If you have please also send me some
Thanks
Points will be rewarded for any reply.

Hi
JS to fetch a the value of a field in a table is
xfa.resolveNode("form_name.subform_name.table_name.Row1["Row Index"].column_name[0]").rawValue;
You can write the code in the exit or validate event of the second column
Thanks

Can we run oracle Forms 5 Application with 10G in Client/Server?

Hi All,
Can we run oracle Forms 5 Application with 10G in Client/Server
Mode?
Regards
Gaurav

In theory you can run it 2 tier - which means that you have the client (the machine the user is sitting at) being the same machine in which the forms application server is running. So yes. But specifically, we don't support a client server runtime anymore. 6i was the last version.
With 10g you will be running through a browser.

How to run oracle forms in ipdad or smart mobile using OS android

please help me
how to run oracle forms in ipad or smart mobile using OS( android )and connect to application server 10g?????
Thanks

If you had looked at data dashboard and some of the other links on Android, you would see that you cannot run a LabVIEW app on Android. Nor can you use a serial port. With Data Dashboard, you have a pc running LabVIEW and it publishes to network shared variables. Data Dashboard on the Android allows you to view those variables.

Unable to run Oracle Form Builder from Designer 10g

I am using Windows XP with Oracle Designer 9.0.4.5. From Design Editor, I select Run -> Oracle Forms, nothing happen. I am able to open Form Builder manually (C:\ORACLE\904\bin\ifbld90.exe). After I generated a module (form) from Designer, I have to open the FMB manually from Form Builder. In Designer 9i, I am able to open Form Builder from Designer. Is this a bug for Designer 10g?
Thanks,
Jim

Thanks for the response, Suresh,
I believe this is an installation/configuration issue.
I installed Oracle Developer Suite 9.0.4, which includes Form Builder, Report Builder, and Designer. System Path contains the ORACLE_HOME (c:\oracle\904\bin). I am able to start Form Builder from DOS command (ifbld90.exe). I am also able to start Report Builder (rwbuilder.exe) and Designer (des2k61.exe) from DOS. I am able to Run Oracle Report Builder from Designer, but just not Form Builder. I also checked the Windows registry settings and they seem alright to me.
thanks,
Jim

Running a project by clicking a icon without running oracle form builder

Hi,
How can I Run a project by clicking a icon without running oracle form builder?????
Regards
Ashraf

Hi!
For forms 6i client/server just create a shortcut for your application like:
%forms_home%\bin\ifrun60.exe your_formand set the working path to your forms folder.
For web forms create a shortcut with the url to your server/pc like this:
http://pcname:port/forms/frmservlet?config=your_configand create a config entry in your %forms_home%/forms/server/formsweb.cfg
for setting the modulename (fmx) and the working path for your application.

Pre-requisites for running oracle forms 11G

What are the pre-requisits for running Oracle forms 11G?

Ok - where to begin?
From the beginning....
<blockquote>1. There are prerequisites for nearly every Oracle product. If you have not read the Installation Guide and Systems Requirements Guide you likely are missing something. Docs are [URL http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24269_01/index.htm]here
2. If you followed the installation guide and completed the installation without error, the basic product works out of the box without any configuration changes. Don't start tweaking unless you understand the change.
3. In order to use an application server of any kind, you need to ensure it is running.
4. If you have chosen the "Development" installation type (applies to 11.1.2 only) then you will not have an HTTP Server and it is not needed. Your listener will be the WLS managed server (usually port 9001).
5. If you have chosed the "Deployment" installation type then you will have HTTP Server. You can access your Forms application via the HTTP Server Listen port (usually 8888) or the WLS_FORMS port.</blockquote>
To the issue that started this post... "+*Page cannot be displayed*+"
This error is either caused as a result of there being no listener running, specifically the HTTP Server or the wrong URL was entered in the browser, or the hostname used in the URL does not map to the correct machine where the listener is running. If you have installed and are testing on your local machine and that machine does not have a static IP address and/or a DNS registered name then fixing these issues would be a few of those "prerequisite" steps I mentioned. This is documented here:
http://docs.oracle.com/html/E18558_01/fusion_requirements.htm#BABFHBID
The above configuration needs to be completed before the installation is started.
To the next issue or change in error message: "+*Failure of server APACHE bridge: No backend server available for connection...*+"
This means that HTTP Server (specifically mod_wls) is unable to contact WLS_FORMS. This could be because WLS_FORMS is not running or because of those prereq steps noted above or a variety of other things related to not following the instructions. Refer to MyOracleSupport Note 1304095.1 for more details about this error.
Finally, as for the need for a JRE, you can do this either before you attempt to run a form or allow the autoinstall feature of the browser perform the installation. However, as Craig mentioned, you would be better off installing the latest version which is 1.6.0_33. You can change your configuration to automatically do this, but if you are new to FusionMiddleware and/or Forms doing the JRE installation manually at this point is probably a good idea. I also recommend starting with Internet Explorer because likely some config changes will be necessary to get it working.
As I mentioned, for the most part, the installation should work out of the box without changes. I would recommend getting the default form (test.fmx) running before attempting to make too many changes.
(If you chose the Deployment install type) http://youMachine:8888/forms/frmservlet?form=test
(If you chose the Development install type) http://youMachine:9001/forms/frmservlet?form=test

Why Other Browser cannot run oracle forms without IE.

Why Other Browser cannot run oracle forms without IE.
i want to use other browser for oracle form like firefox,google chrome etc not IE.

Hussain Afridi wrote:
Why Other Browser cannot run oracle forms without IE.Let aside we don't know what forms version you are using, your statement is simply wrong. I am running Forms 10gR2 with Firefox for quite some time (from 2 to 12 and now with 10.0.7 ESR). So I know for a fact that you can run Forms with other Browsers then IE. Also why would Oracle certify other Browsers (which they did) if it wouldn't work in the first place?
So to answer your "question": forms most certainly won't work on FF on your side because you didn't configure your formsweb.cfg properly. For newer Versions of Fírefox you'd have to use the Sun JPI instead of JInit:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/forms/documentation/forms-jre-131772.pdf
Also if you'd have used the forum search it would have come up with some informations on what to do; e.g.
Running Oracle Forms applications using Firefox 3.6
So to sum it up you should reprhase your original question to:
How do I use the forum search/google to search for informations already provided a hundred times?cheers

Run Forms non interactively (Oracle 8i)

Is it possible to run a form in "batch" mode, that is non-interactively?
The reason for this request is that the application is a turn-key system and I need
to load a application file. The vendor has provided a load file screen but I want
to run this application in batch.
It would be too costly to ask the vedor to re-write the application.
Has anyone tried this before?
Is this possible? Could I use the UNIX package called expect?

yes but you need patch 1 for forms (better use patch4).

It worked for me in Windows 7 Home premium, both in 32 and 64 bit operating systems...
What I did was,
After successful instalaltion of developer suite, I've installed latest JRE from www.java.com and configured formsweb.cfg and default.env file.
I've used IE8 only. I haven't tested on any other browsers.
Do modify these lines to configure formsweb.cfg to change to JRE from Jinitiator (As said by CraigB )

Running oracle form builder 10g in windows 7 64 bit

i am working in windows 7 64 bit
oracle db 11g enterprise edition 11.2.0.10 64 bit
form builder 10.12.0.2 32 bit
my default browser is Google Chrome
i have java 6 standard edition 1.6.0_34
when i am trying to run any form this message appear " java (TM) is required to display some elements in this page"
what can i do to run those forms?

You can also refer to this OTN reference:
Oracle Application Server 10g (10.1.2) Certification Matrix
Other comments:
1. I would not recommend using Forms 10.1.2.0 with Oracle DB 11.2.x. Patching Oracle Forms to 10.1.2.3 would be recommended. Using version Forms 11 would be better.
2. Attempting to use the Developer Tools on Windows 7 is not a great idea although it can be made to work. Developer Suite 10 is no longer supported and was never really intended for use on Win7. Again, patching to 10.1.2.3 is recommended and required if you plan to follow the Oracle instructions and certifications.
3. Installing the Forms Builder (Developer Suite) on Win7-64bit is not at all certified and was never supported.
4. Using Java 7 was not certified and therefore not supported for use with Forms 10.x
In general, Forms 10.1.2.x has been desupported. Customer using this version or older should be working on a migration plan for getting to the latest supported version which is 11.1.2.1.
