here a list of applet parameter then any refresh parameter to add .
what is the parameter name and value
help
Could you explain a little more about what you want the new parameter to achieve? I'm not sure what you mean by 'refresh parameter'..?
You'll find a useful explanation of the possible parameters in formsweb.cfg at http://www.huihoo.com/oracle/docs/B14099_19/web.1012/b14032/configure003.htm#i1072143, if that helps.

Hello,
Is it possible to read a parameter from formsweb.cfg file? What I want to do is to read the width and height for the Applet so I'll be able to center the "canvases and LOV"
Any ideas please?
Thanks!Hi,
you could do this easily using a JavaBean in Forms. If you don'tg want to use Java, then you could create user parameters in Forms e.g. app_width, app_height and use it in the "otherparams" argument like follows:
otherparams=app_width=%width% app_height=%height%
Make sure that you set the otharparams argument after defining the width and height for the applet.

How to add html image tag in formsweb.cfg file
Dear all,
I am trying to display one image in background(not on form) by using HTMLbeforeform attribute in formsweb.cfg.
from local machine that image is displaying..from other machine which is network I can able to access the forms first page but that image is not displaying..
Where i need to keep the image? Is there any shared folder to keep images?
The following code can give a clear idea...
# HTML page title
pageTitle=My Forms Server
# HTML attributes for the BODY tag
HTMLbodyAttrs=
# HTML to add before the form
HTMLbeforeForm=<img src='G:\images\logo.jpg' align=left height=150 width=150>--wich loc i need to place the img
# HTML to add after the form
HTMLafterForm=<MARQUEE><font color=blue><b><I>HAVE A NICE DAY!</MARQUEE>The image-tag has to point to an url at the application-server which is accessible from the client's browser. So, if your forms-url is something like
http://host:port/forms/frmservlet?config=xxxThe image-url should be something like
HTMLbeforeForm=<img src='/path/logo.jpg' align=left height=150 width=150>where path is a virtual directory on the application server. Either create such a virtual directory or use an existing one, like /forms/java, which points to $ORACLE_HOME/forms/java on the server.
You can test that by puttin the url "by hand" in the browser like
http://host:port/forms/java/logo.jpg -
Parameter lookandfeel in formsweb.cfg
Hi!
Possible values for parameter lookandfeel is *"Generic"* or *"Oracle"* in formsweb.cfg, is it possible to modify lookandfeel=Oracle more than colorscheme or is it possible to develop our own lookandfeel?
Has anyone any nice GUI examples for Forms to share?
Have looked at "The Look and Feel project", but it's to much work for us to implement in about 400 forms.

Only display first form URL in formsweb.cfg . mutiple URL does not work
Hi Friends,
I have 4 form application with 4 URL.
app. server as 10g in window 2003.
URL like as:
http://salerpt.com/forms/frmservlet?config=emis-srmenu
fmx file Location as C:\OraMid\forms\salerpt-Forms fmx name as srmenu.fmx in same directory
fmb file location as C:\OraMid\forms\salerpt-Forms_source fmx name as srmenu.fmb in same directory
# Single Sign-On OID configuration parameter
oracle_home=C:\OraMid
in formweb.cfg file
baseHTMLjinitiator=basejini.htm
workingDirector : workingDirectory= blank. but C:\OraMid\forms\salerpt-Forms right now
# Forms runtime argument: which form module to run
##form=test.fmx
## i moved bottom section of form section in here and before
##line as Forms runtime argument: database connection details
comment two line
#jinit_exename=jinit.exe
#jinit_mimetype=application/x-jinit-applet;version=1.3.1.22
I create 4 sections as
form=srmenu.fmx
width=1200
height=700
pageTitle=Sale Information System (SIS)
form=regsale.fmx
form=salefinincial.fmx
form=rptinfo.fmx
However it only display first srmenu form interface that i put in( 4 different URL. only display first URL)
It seems that one formsweb.cfg, it doesn not support multip form setting application.
I have 4 small forms application with 4 URL for one formsweb.cfg.
What should I need to do? I think that i miss some set up in configuration.
I am waiting for your help!
JImHi Bgrant,
Please review my formsweb,cfg.
Thanks

# formsweb.cfg defines parameter values used by the FormsServlet (frmservlet)
# This section defines the Default settings. Any of them may be overridden in the
# following Named Configuration sections. If they are not overridden, then the
# values here will be used.
# The default settings comprise two types of parameters: System parameters,
# which cannot be overridden in the URL, and User Parameters, which can.
# Parameters which are not marked as System parameters are User parameters.
# SYSTEM PARAMETERS
# These have fixed names and give information required by the Forms

# Some parameters specify file names: if the full path is not given,

# is given, then it should be a physical path, not a URL.
# USER PARAMETERS
# These match variables (e.g. %form%) in the baseHTML file. Their values

9i default TNS/DB in formsweb.cfg
I can't seem to make any use of "userid" work on the iAS middletier.
It's as if I can't override the basic userid setting: I can't do it in a named config and I can't do it if I put it in the URL. No matter what I do I'm forced to enter username, password and database. It's as if the use of userid just gets ignored. I can easily change userid when I run forms directly from 9iDS, it's just on the iAS it doesn't work.
Basically I need to be able to specify a 9i equivalent of putting "set LOCAL=MY_DB.WORLD" in a .bat file in the 6i fat client mode, ie. specify only the default database to be used so that the users don't have to enter that explicitly at logon. However, I can't find any documentation how this is done - all examples just say "userid=user/pass@<your_db>".
So I also need some sort of documentation that lists ALL possible commands in the formsweb.cfg, but I've been unable to find the complete reference guide for that.
Sincerely,

# java console end #Jesper,
all parameters that are understood by the formsweb.cfg file are listed un the System and user section. In Oracle10g Forms we also added comments to describe their individual meanings.
1. create a named configuration for your application and add
# assuming orcl is your database tnsnames name)
userid=@orcl
2. In your Forms application, using an on-logon trigger
BEGIN
LOGON_SCREEN;
message(get_application_property(username||'@'||get_application_property(connect_string));
LOGON(get_application_property(username ||'@'||get_application_property(connect_string),get_application_property(password),true);
END;
If you want to also specify teh username so that he only needs to enter the password, you can pass userid=scott@orcl in the URL
Note that Oracle9iDS had a bug on Windows2000 that prevented the servlet from reading URL parameters. This problem is solved within Patch1.

How can read/write FORMSWEB.CFG & DEFAULT.ENV file entries programatically?
Environment: Forms 9i (Web)
As : Oracle 9i As
How can read/write FORMSWEB.CFG & DEFAULT.ENV file entries programatically?I guess you cannot. There is an enhancement request to get the name of the config-section as a GET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY.
What you could do is add extra parameter(s) to your form and pass the necessary formsweb.cfg parameters in this form parameter. See Get formsweb.cfg section name in Forms for more info and an example. -
Otherparams in Url and in formsweb.cfg
Hello.
There is a way to use the otherparams in url without substitute the one defined in formsweb.cfg?
For estance I have in formswebcfg defined the "term" parameter. If I need to user otherparams=myparam=myvalue this one also cancel the "term" param
Thanks in advanceYour statement is unclear. However, you can only pass one value for any one parameter. If you have a parameter with a value preset in formsweb.cfg (i.e. myparam=myvalue), you can override it by changing it in the URL. The url entry will take precedence over the value in the formsweb.cfg
If you are suggesting that by passing in your own custom param/value for otherparams is ignore the presets, this can be corrected. Do the following:
1. In formsweb.cfg, locate where "otherparams" is configured.
2. Add your custom parameter to the list. For example (I have removed a few from the default just to make it more readable):
otherparams=query_only=%query_only% quiet=%quiet% record=%record% tracegroup=%tracegroup% log=%log% term=%term% myparam=%myparam%Note how your parameter has been added to the end.
3. To pass your new param and value on the url, simply add it without the "otherparams=" part. For example:
http://server:port/forms/frmservlet?form=myForm&myparam=123
You can see other examples of this in the formsweb.cfg. Look for the comments labeled, " +Sub argument for otherparams+ " -
what is to corrispond at the formsXX_path and ui_icon on MS in the formsweb.cfg ??
giordano,
for icons I suggest to create a jar file and put them into this. Then edit the formsweb.cfg file and set imagebase=codebase in the application definition section.
Copy the custom jar file into the formsxx\java directory and add its name to the archive parameter
e.g. archive_jinit = f60all_jinit.jar, myIcons.jar
This way the icons get permanently cached on the client and you can have them separated for each application. However, simply editing the registry.dat file, as suggested by Shay works as well.

Cannot save formsweb.cfg
Hi All,
I am using Enterprise Manager with Oracle Application Server (Forms and Reports services), and cannot save changes to the formsweb.cfg file.
When I make changes to the file, and click Apply, the settings return to their original values. This is what I would expect with the Revert button.
I can make changes to the file manually (with notepad), and the server itself sees these changes, but Enterprise Manager still shows the original settings.
I initially thought this was a cache problem, and re-booted the host. Only then would Enterprise Manager see the manual changes, but it still refuses to make changes itself, or to see subsequent manual changes.
Does anybody have any ideas??
Thanks
GavinMe too, but let me add the following info:

Plzzz help: formsweb.cfg testmode false
Greetings:
I have installed Oracle Developer Suite on a Windows XP SP3 pc. When I run the form, Internet Explorer gives me a message:
Internet Explorer encountered a problem and needs to close.
I run the OC4J before running the form. And I am sure that the Net manager configuration is correct. The OC4J gives me the following line:
ConfigFileName: C:\DevSuiteHome_1/forms/server/formsweb.cfg
testmode: false
I have tried many things like: Disable some add ons like google, ..etc and leave java only.
Please, tell me what is the cause of such problem. Thank you.I am using IE7, Windows XP SP3 and 10g Dev suite version 10.1.2.0.2
the problem is, when I run the form, Internet Explorer gives me the message: "Internet Explorer encountered a problem and needs to close".
I installed Jinitiator 1.3.1.28 and it didn't work. Removing IE7 and use IE6 solved the problem on another PC. but on these punch of PCs, I could not remove IE as IE7 can't be removed if it installed with XP SP3 unless you remove SP3 (in my case, SP3 installed within the Windows and not as a separate package that I can remove)

and there is a configure for webutil
how can I use webutil config,appended them to my_own_config,or not?

what do I need to do?
Please suggest.This isn't being sarcastic, but have you read the webutil manual? Chapter 3 and the appendix A give instructions.
You basically have two choices, either set up webutil in the default part of Formsweb.cfg so all application configurations on that application server can use it or you can add it to your own created configuration. -
