Time out functionality in forms 10g

Hi all,
I am trying to implement time out functionality in forms 10g.
i have created a form tout.fmb
in when_new_form_instance trigger : i have written the code like
declare
v_url varchar2(200);
begin
v_url := 'http://www.google.com';
WEBUTIL_SESSION.ENABLE_REDIRECT_ON_TIMEOUT(v_url);
end;
i have attached webutil.pll to it. while running the form it is giving the error as library cannot be attached.
Also. when i run it through Unix application server, it gives the alert window showing message "Please acknowledge" .
Could anybody please help?
Thanks and Regards,
Neha

So you have subclassed the webutil portion of the webutil.olb into your form.
Set the webutil.pll up as a library on said form.
Compiled without error.
Run the form in your developer environment using a URL
Then got this error ??
Just confirming the path you have travelled to get to here.

Time Out Functionality in APEX

Currently I am working on APEX 3.1 and using OID (10.1.2) for LDAP Authentication.
I want to implement time out functionality in my application.
Ex: If users logs into to APEX Application and keeping the page ideal for 15 min. When user tries to access the application again. I need to redirect him to SSO page.
Can anyone suggest me, How can I achieve this functionality.
Thanks in advance

Hello Balaji,
The easiest thing would be: Upgrade to version 3.2. Then session timeout is out-of-the-box....

Time out function in VISA configure serial port vi

I have some doubts regarding the time out functionality of "VISA configure serial port vi":
1) I have set the time out value as 10s while initializing the port using this vi. Does this mean that for any Rx operation happening on the serial port, it will wait for 10s for the data to be received?
2) Is this waiting functionality also valid on "bytes at port" vi which I am using before reading the port data?
Because in my application, the control at serial port is actually not waiting for 10s and is coming out before the desired time out (10s). Do I need to set this time out anywhere else apart from initialization at "VISA configure serial port vi"??
Can anyone please tell the steps to set this timeout for the serial port?
Thanks in advance!

1. A read will return when the first of the following is satisfied:
a. The number of bytes at byte count has been received.
b. The termination character (if enabled) has been received.
c. An error is detected.
d. The timeout time has elapsed.
I am not sure what happens if handshaking is enabled and the other device pauses communication.
2. No. Bytes at port returns immediately. This is a status check and it would not make sense for a timeout to apply.
Without seeing your code and the data the remote device is sending, we can only guess. My first guess would be that you have termination characters enabled (default) and a termination character appears in your data.

Time out functionality in Portal

Hi All,
If my portal is inactive for some fixed time, the user should be logged off automatically and an information message should be displayed on the login page.
How to achieve this ?
Regards,
Nikhil

I think there is no such timeout functionality...for portal..
Portal sessions are cookie based. On successful logon to the portal, the Portal issues a SAP logon ticket, with a default validity of 8 hours. That is a users session can atmost be of length 8 hours. Timout of the user's session is not possible.
Also if you reduce the default length of session, you will have to adjust the expiration time of the SAPlogon ticket by setting the "Lifetime of SAP Logon Ticket" in "Security settings" at "System Administration" --> "System Configuration" --> "UM Configuration".
However, please note that the cookie will eventually expire after this time setting, whether or not the user is idle. He has to renew the ticket after expiration.

RANK() function problem in Form 10g

I am using form 10g R2. I wrote codes inside a trigger of a button to select from one table, named test. The code is as follows:
select mm,pp,rr from test. The form can compile this code.
But when I write teh code select mm,pp, rank() over(order by pp desc) rr from test, the form can not compile. Itshows the following error:
Encountered the sysmbol "(" when expecting one of the following:
, from into bulk.
The table has only one record. It works in SQL environment but the form can not compile this RANK() OVER() function.
Do you have any idea to use RANK() OVER() function in Form 10g?

Some analytical functions do not work in client-side sql in forms, you'll have to encapsulate your logic in the database.

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?

Problem running reports using webutil in Forms 10g

This is about 3 dll files related to webutil functionality in forms 10g
d2kwut60.dll
jacob.dll
JNIsharedstubs.dll
I am running report which is using webutil functionality. So when I try to run report, our application server try to download above dlls to my local machine on path C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin
Due to security policy, our company doesn't allow write access to folder C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin and hence report is failing to run.
We need solution for this issue so that we should be able to run report successfully?
Details as below:
Application server : Forms 10g - 10.1.2.3 ( Using Sun jre and not jinitiator). We do not want to use jinitiator
Browser - IE8

Curious, typically Java will store these "temporary" files in the cache not in the BIN directory. Unfortunately, the only way I know to change the location of the CACHE (temporary files) directory is through the Java Control Panel applet. Open the Control Panel and start the Java Control Panel. On the General tab click the Settings... button in the Temporary Internet Files section. In the Location section - click the Change button which will bring up a "Temporary Files Location" dialog box. Simply navigate to a directory that your security policy will allow files to be written too.
The ideal solution would be to push this type of change out to all of your users rather than have to manually change each workstation. I don't know if there is a way to push this change out, but you can check the Java website for more information.
Hope this helps,

Locking Issues/Release in Forms 10g R2

Hi all,
We are using 10g R2 AS and oracle database 10g.
Give me a good solution to prevent locking. User A is accessing one form(using execute_query, form built-in insert_record etc) and he is not coming out of the form for a long time. In this case, User B, C , D..are trying and they have to wait in the queue. In this case, we are forcefully killing user A session.Suppose his changes are not saved ie he might have entered inter-linked information in form 1,2, and working on 3. That time we are killing his session because of other users queues.
So in this case , we cannot communitcate with each user(users are plenty) to come out of the screen. Better to introduce time-out in forms level. Can you please give an idea to overcome this problem...?I have no knowledge in lock handling.
Regards
Priya

Steve,
Thanks for your reply.
Actually, I will explain the situation like this. Form is locking the record properly. But the users are not using it properly.Like, User A is inter-related forms a1,a2,a3etc. In a2 form, he is feeding some information and not committing his changes. Just opened the screen idle for long time. This time User B is coming and doing some changes/inserts in a1 and trying to access a2...Here he will be in queue bcoz of User A. User C , D , E are coming and same situation.
So manually, we are killing the process to avoid further delays for users b,c,d etc.
After some time, user A is coming to us stating that he has made some changes and it has not been committed. Of course, this is the correct behaviour of forms in locking. But since we are killing, the changes are not committed.
We can do two things(according to me)
1. Educating the user to come out of the form (User is not understanding..this is the manufacturing unit they know just to type and click. And they don't want to understand system problems)
--it is impossible
2. Time-out of the forms....
Is point2 feasible? Or is there any good ideas??

How to change ADF default session time out behavior to count down

the ADF default session time out will show a message before some time set in the web.xml , after this time anther alert will show the time out message.
But our recruitment what use one message dialog first show the session will be out then count down the time at last show the session time out message.
Dose ADF provide interface to change this ?

Hi Sudipto:
If using pure JS and Html I can write thousand way to implement session time out function , but we use ADF :
ADF limit user to do a lot of thing but only use itself way , it is very hard to change its component's behavior and also hard to get doc introducing how to change its behavior though it can be change.

Form based login, iframes and session time out

Hi all,
I'm trying to create a site using form based login.
The site contains a page protected page, default.jsp that have a logout button/link (clicking it invalidates the session), and a navigation bar with links linking opening them in iframes inside the default.jsp page:
I have also a login.jsp page and and a error.jsp page
Everything works fine I can login, I can logout. My problem occurs when the session times out and the user tries to access protected contents in the internal frames. He then is promted for a new login. The problem is that the login,jsp page now turns up inside the jframe designatet for my contents.
I woud have liked the login page to turn up at the top level i.e. filling the entire browser window (i.e on the same level as the default.jsp page). Is this somehow possible?
Regards
Uno Engborg

Easy answer: use JS to jump out iframe.
Best answer: don't use iframes, but use server side includes like jsp:include. Iframes have too much disadvangages, topping the extremely bad SEO and UX.

Oracle 10g - How To Find Out If A Forms User An Intranet Or An Internet?

Is it possible to find out if the login user using intranet or internet (Oracle Form 10g)? If not, can you please advise the workaround solution?
Thanks,
TD

the only thing which differs could be the ip adress from both clients so if the client ip adress is in your internal range its from your intranet and if its mot from your range its from the internet..I didnt try this but I think you can verfy the client ip via a java bean or via webutil...

How to keep the font in the design time appear in run time with forms 10g

hi guys
did anyone know if we can keep the font we choose at
design time in form 10g r2
appear in runtime cuz the java applet transformer it to
fonts that it recognise and the original font disappear

You need to map the font you are using for development to one of the proper Java fonts that is used by the server by editing the related lines in the Registry.dat file located under the BI installation (of the iAS server) The file is located under the BI_HOME/forms/java/oracle/forms/registry/ subdirectory.
Here is an example from my Registry.dat file. I am using Helvetica when developing (I am on Linux for both iDS and iAS) and mapping it to Dialog (Java font). You can search this form and OTN white papers, I am sure you can find similar mappings for your font (for development) and deployment. I simply used trial and see method to find a solution for my case.
# Default Font Face mapping.
# appFontname represents a comma delimited list of Application Font Names.
# javaFontname represents a comma delimited list of Java Font Names.
# The number of entries in the appFontname list should match the number in
# the javaFontname list. The elements of the list are comma separated and
# all characters are taken literally, leading and trailing spaces are
# stripped from Face names.
# Note that this file uses the Java 1.1 Font names in order to be able to
# handle the NLS Plane (BUG #431051)
default.fontMap.appFontnames=Courier New,Courier,courier,System,Terminal,Fixed,Fixedsys,Times,Times New Roman,MS Sans Serif,Arial,Helvetica
default.fontMap.javaFontnames=MonoSpaced,MonoSpaced,MonoSpaced,Dialog,MonoSpaced,Dialog,Dialog,Serif,Serif,Dialog,SansSerif,Dialog
Hope this proves useful.

Changing functionality of Function Keys in forms 10g

Dear users....One of the big difficulties users facing in my 10g forms applications is that its Function Keys have totally changed like that of Enter-Query or Execute-Query. In forms 6i user was habitual of working with F-7 & F-8 for this purpose but in 10g its quite different. Can u tell me that how can I match the functionality of these Function Keys in 10g to that of Forms-6i???

Hey Arun...I've read urs recommended post, I wish to give u 10 pts if u give me the answer for this question too ;) Can I use my newly created fmrweb.res in my own application? I mean other users should keep on using the default fmrweb.res file but I should use the file compatible with 6i shortcut keys. Is there any configuration for this in formsweb.conf file?
