Regards,
MuraliHi Murali,
Please confirm if you are trying to compile a form (.fmb) to (.fmx), if yes you may follow one the following ways :
Unix command :
frmcmp.sh userid=scott/scott@TEST batch=yes module=APRESBILL.fmb module_type=form compile_all=yes window_state=minimize
Using GUI :
run frmcmp.sh from unix prompt in an X-window(ie. xmanager, reflection etc) to generate the fmx. Once the form opens you have option in the drop down list to select if it's form, library or a report.
HTH.

Font mapping in Forms 10g on Unix/Linux

Hello,
does anybody have a adea how font mapping in forms 10g works on Unix/Linux.
As far as I know I do have to have a X-Server running on the node so that forms can mapp java fonts, is this true?
What configuration options do I have on the server.
Can I differ strictly between development tasks (consideration of developer) and admin tasks ([configuration]considerations of Application Server Admin) referring font mapping in forms 10g?
Is there any "Best Practices to this subject?
Thank you.
Regards
Frank

Hello Frank,
- fontmapping takes place in Registry.dat file?!
- According to your article "Forms: Using custom fonts in Oracle Forms Services 10g" I only have to customize fontmapping in Registry.dat file.
-Customer developes on MS-Client and uses Arial,but is surprised about displayed font, which is´nt Arial.
-Can I just customize font mapping in Registry.dat as follows (according your example)?
default.fontMap.appFontnames=x,y,Arial
default.fontMap.javaFontnames=u,v.Arial
What do we have to consider on client site?
What´s about java on client (JInitiator)?
Regards
Frank

Compile .fmb file in UNIX with forms 10g

HI,
Can someone help me in compiling a .fmb file in UNIX? I have created this .fmb file in Forms 10g.I have Oracle Applications in the Front end. I am unable to figure out the commands to compile the form which generates a .fmx file.
I have placed the .fmb file in the UNIX directory. As Forms6i has f60gen....and 9i has f90gen...I want to know the code that I must execute in the command prompt of the UNIX server. I am a fresher to this. So please explain in as detail as you can.
Thanks
Dev

if the previous doesn't help
just put something like this :
find where the frmcmp.sh is located an put the fully qualified path there
make also sure you execute it with the right user! (normally oracle)
I don't know if I already mentioned it bu be aware that you need to have an Xdisplay if your working with frmcmp.sh .
There is a batch command to I believe that doesn't need the Xdisplay
Remember you can use any display of any machine
If you set your display to another hosts screen, type xclock on your prompt and the clock should appear on the others screen.
If you don't know how to look for the command ....
If it is in your PATH -->" type frmcmp.sh " will give you the directory
If not go to <oracle_home> eg /opt/oracle -- > " find . -name frmcmp.sh "

In Forms 10g Where does SQLs execute?

In Oracle Forms 10g there is Java Applet on top of which our Application runs. Now suppose we have a button and in that we execute a SQL to get a column value.
Now where does the SQL fire?
Does it fire in the Applet (i.e in client) or does it go to the App Server and then execute?

RTM first!
If it's PL/SQL written in the form, that executes on the application server, that has a PL/SQL engine.
If it's a call to a procedure stored in the database, that executes in the database.
If it's SQL, then that can execute nowhere else except in the database.
Do not imagine that the applet does any other thing except rendering what you see on screen and handling the clicks and keystroke to the application server (which does the further processing, handling to the database the SQL that has to be executed).
Briefly, that's the basics.

Problem executing form 10G

Hi Buddies;
I'm trying to execute FORM 10G, but when I choose Run Form, I get this error message;
Internet Explorer has closed this webpage to help protect your computer
A malfunctioning or malicious add-on has caused Internet Explorer to close this webpage.
Previously I could execute the form, but after some problems in my laptop and had to reinstall the OS.
Now I got this problem.
Have any idea how to solve this?
Also, I was trying using Firefox, but getting similar error message.
Suggestions are welcome.

Hi,
You have to replace the JVM.DLL in the directory *<Program Files>\Oracle\JInitiator 1.3.1.22\bin\hotspot* with the latest jvm.dll(2.2Mb) from here.
And if you are using Explorer 8, then do the following.
1. Open Internet Explorer 8
2. Go to Tools, Internet Options
3. Click on the Advanced tab.
4. Scroll down into the Security section and find “Enable memory protection to help mitigate online attacks”.
5. Uncheck “Enable memory protection to help mitigate online attacks”.
6. Click Ok and Ok again.
7. Reboot your computer.Regards,

Using IE 8 and tried on IE 7 as well.
Oracle JInitiator: Version 1.3.1.22Oracle Jinitiator is not compatible with IE 7/8, you have to use the Sun JRE 1.6.0._16 or higher instead. Take a look at section *2.2 Oracle Forms Applications on Client Platforms* in the Oracle Application Server 10g (10.1.2) Certification Matrix.
After installing the Sun JRE 1.6.0, you will need to modify the %DEVSUITE_HOME%\forms\server\formsweb.cfg to set the correct JRE version information. Make the following changes:

Executing forms 10g

Hi,
I have created a new form using forms 10g . When I click run form it opens Internet explorer and displays some html codes.
Can anyone help what needs to be done.

This URL
http://mypcname:8889/forms90/f90servlet
should display a page that says "Installed Successfully".
If this is not happening and you are receiving a host address not found error message, then I think mypcname may not your correct host name. If you are running Windows XP, your host name can be found by right clicking on My Computer -> Properties -> Computer Name tab. The Full Computer Name will be your host name. Do you recall whether you were asked to provide the hostname during the install? If you provided the wrong host name, you may need to reinstall.

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.

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:#
#Jfn :Jmn: URKS :Ffn : URFD

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?

Forms 10g.

Hi ,
i am facing problem in forms 10g.
I have an application in which I have to FTP file from my local folder to unix server(not an Application server) ,for that i am using plink utility.
so i need command which will get execut on client m/c.
coz webutil_host.host will wxwcure at AS. and similarly client.host will do same.

Hello,
webutil.host() function provide a local machine OS command. So it could include a FTP order or a batch file, or any command the user could type on his machine.

Forms 10g tool_env.getvar

I work on UNIX and run my form 10g on web.
If I execute, e.g. tool_env.getvar('HOME') , I get $ORACLE_HOME
instead of current user $HOME. By the way, I use different environments to
create log files by text_io.fopen etc.
I need all users client environments be accessible in forms.
Thank you, Irena

First, relative to the Forms Runtime on the server, the current OS user will be "oracle" and not the user that is connected to the application.
Second, TOOL_ENV will begin by reading the contents of the Forms default.env since this is where its environment information resides. At the next level, it will read the environment as it was set by OPMN who is the parent to the Forms Runtime. So this means that it will first look in default.env for the value of HOME or ORACLE_HOME
Since each user's home directory should be below a standard top level directory, I would recommend coding the exact directory on your own. For example, assuming you know that all users' homes start from here:
/home/<SOME USER>
... and you know the current user by executing GET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY(username), you could do something like this:
myDirectory := '/home/' || GET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY(username);

Oracle forms 10g Parameter passing from forms to reports

Hello Room,
Please let me know what is wrong with this code. It is not passing parameter at all to the reports 10g parameter form from forms 10g, no matter what. I tried to delete the parameter from reports parameter form, I also tried to enable/disable restricted values from reports, I tried to hide the parameter from reports, but it is just not doing it.
DECLARE

Please help. Thank you in advance.

Hello Inol,
Greetings !
There seems to be a syntax error when I run your code:-
REP-52251: Cannot get output of job ID 272 you requested on Fri Apr 08 02:37:25 GMT 2011.REP-51026: No output for job 272
when I run then command:-
http://local-pc:8889/reports/rwservlet/showjobs
Terminated with error: REP-159: Syntax error on command line.
Is there a error on your statement ?
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||substr(v_rep,instr(v_rep,'_',-1)+1) ||'?server=repsrv );
it should be
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||substr(v_rep,instr(v_rep,'_',-1)+1) ||'?server=repsrv ' );
then only it is getting compiled properly. A single quote in the end !
And finally I changed this line
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_OTHER,'paramform=no p_1='||:SP_USERCODE 'p_my_second_parameter='||:block.my_second_parameter);
to this line
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_OTHER,'paramform=no p_1='||:SP_USERCODE|| *'p*mysecond_parameter='||:block.my_second_parameter);
as it is giving error where highlighted in bold Is it necessary to change and add a concatenation there ?_
But... But... even though I compile it properly the code is getting executed and it is giving the above error. Please note the same.
Also please tell me what should be the status of the following things in report builder 10g.
1. Shall I remove the parameters vcompany and vlocname from the parameter form and keep it just in parameters of report , There is a third parameter which I want the user to input while running the report other than these 2 parameters ?
2. Shall I restrict the parameter to predetermined values ?
3. Shall I hide the first column of the parameter in report builder.
I have also tried to simulate the execution parameters from batch to runtime and comm mode to synchronous and asynchronous and vice versa. I have also given command rwserver server = repsrv on my pc and also server pc. please let me know about this also whether I need to give this command every time ? I mean for every booting ?
As this problem is faced by many people. I think it should work across the fly as given by you or rather corrected by you. I would also like to know is there any patch available for the same released by oracle, as I have read somewhere in the forum here which I cannot locate the thread now. I do not mind paying for support if I find the need ?
Please help me further. Thank you.

Key Mapping in Forms 10g

Dear All,
I have migrated forms 3.0 in unix to forms 10g in windows 2003 server.
In my older version, '+' key is mapped to do COMMIT. I want to map the same key in forms 10g. i tried the same in my frmweb.res. Pls find the mapping done by me below.
*107 : 0 : "Add" : 36 : "Commit"*
This works fine.
The Issue is ... My cursor is in a text item .... I entered some data and press " + " key to save. The data is saved but at the same time the data in the text item is erased and + is getting replaced in the text item. I dont want my data to be erased and replaced with "+" symbol.
How to map the "+" just for COMMIT and should not replace the data in the text item ?
Can anyone help me to solve this issue...
Thanks in Advance

Unfortunately, sometimes the role of the developer is to educate the user/management what can/can't and should/shouldn't be done. If I were in your postition, I would make every effort to educate the user/management this this is a REALLY bad idea and encourage them to use the standard key mapping or use a modifed key mapping that uses just the F-Keys.
The problem you have to overcome is that you have to not only tell Forms to do something different when the '+' key is pressed, but you have to have a listener in your application that is listening for the '+' key and supress the '+' character. To my knowledge, this cannot be done with native Forms built-ins. You would have to write your own Java solution (JavaBean or Pluggable Java Component [PJC]) to suppress the '+'. I have found that if you can provide the user/management with a cost estimate associated with the effort needed to code a particular feature. Once they realize the level effort and more importantly the cost associated with coding a particular feature, they typically will change their mind and see reason.
I know this is not what you wanted to hear, but I hope it will help anyway. :(
