Urdu support in Oracle Forms 9i

Requirement:
============
We have an application in Oracle Forms & Report 9i Rel 2 and Database 9i Rel 2.
There is a client requirement to provide Urdu support in this application.
We have to enter Urdu data in few forms and print it in PDF reports.
Problem:
===========
We created new database with AL32UTF8 Character Set with same National
Character Set for Unicode support.
Developed a form and report on a table with NVARCHAR2 data type.
Edited nls_lang entries in Registry to AMERICAN_AMERICA.AL32.UTF8
Installed Urdu Support in WinXp
Database stores and retrieves Urdu and displays Oracle SQL Developer.
Oracle form stores/retrieves Urdu characters but it fails to type
complete words and sentences.
On typing 2nd, 3rd characters of a words all characters position mix up
randomly and produce garbage.
Oracle report don't show Urdu characters in run-time but it shows the
same in Report Builder.
Further more, Our group of applications works in Materialized View Replication environment [5-6 applications consolidate data at a Central Database]. If we change Character Set of one application's database to Unicode then is it must to apply the change in all databases of replication group.
Please suggest if Oracle IDS 9i or 10g provides support for Urdu. If yes then please suggest solution of the above stated problems.
Looking forward for your quick response.

You would have much more possibilities to have your question answered if you posted it in Oracle Forms forum.....

Languages Supported in Oracle Forms

Hi,
Can anyone tell me which languages are supported in Oracle forms ,or with UTF8 characterset i can make forms6i to work for all languages.
Please correct me ...
Regards,
Sandeep

I don't think this feature is feasible for forms.
Quoting the documentation from
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28310/manproc002.htm
Database Resident Connection Pooling (DRCP) provides a connection pool in the database server for typical Web application usage scenarios where the application acquires a database connection, works on it for a relatively short duration, and then releases it.
Forms keeps a permanent connection to the database, so a connection pool isn't gonna help you in any way.
cheers

IDE Support for Oracles Forms and Reports

Hi All,
I am beginning a software integration project and would really appreciate it if you could give me some guidance. I wish to find an IDE that will support Oracle Forms & Reports (6i and 9i/10g) development (in particular support for coding of .rdf and .fmb files) either natively or via a plug-in. Is anyone aware of such an IDE or plug-in? Thanks in advance.
-S

Thanks for your input Jacob, that answered my question. I was wanting to know if there was any IDE that could be used to develop fmb's or rdf's, either natively or with a plug-in. From your response, I now know there are not.

Pooled Connection not supported in oracle forms 11g

Dear all,
I am using oracle from builder (11.1.1.4) and oracle database 11g Release 2. I can connect to the database from oracle forms 11g, when I use a dedicated or shared server connection mentioned in the tnsnames.ora file . But I want to use the oracle database 11g's new feature DRCP (Database Resident Connection Polling).
To do this a made a another POOLED connection (SERVER=POOLED) in the tnsnames.ora.I can connect to the 11g r2 database server from sqlplus using POOLED connection. But when I try it from form builder (11.1.1.1.4) it gives error with some unknown characters.
Then I tried it in linux frmcmp the message i got in terminal is can not *"Cannot obtain ORACLE version number"*
I have googled and also checked in metalink. But I got nothing.Thanks in advance for your help.

Collection type supported in Oracle Forms Forms [32 Bit] Version 6.0.8.11.3

Hi
I am trying to call this from forms.
I am getting error no data found whenever this calles IF condition but from backend if run it from a script it works fine.
So I was thinking whether Forms PL/SQL version supports collection types.
I am using Forms [32 Bit] Version 6.0.8.11.3 (Production) for Oracle Application 11.5.10 version.
IF (p_emp_ids.COUNT > 0) THEN
FOR r IN v_emp_ids.FIRST..v_pkg_ids.LAST LOOP
Thanks in Advance

Is it just a a typo that the IF is on P_emp_ids and the loop is on V_em_ids?
However: the NO_DATA_FOUND exception suggests that you may be falling down a crack in your collection. If you have a missing element between FIRST and LAST you will get a no_data_found. Suppose these elements are there:
(1), (2). (3), (5), (6)
You will start at FIRST (1) and finish at LAST (6). But your loop on R will try to find the element at (4). Which isn't there. Oops...
To prove that's what's happening, you can wrap the inside of the loop with an exception handler
   BEGIN
      do the access to v_emp_ids(r)
   EXCEPTION
      WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND then (log a message with the value if R in it)
   END;If you want to walk a collection with gaps (a "sparse" collection), this is the way:
DECLARE
     r pls_integer;
BEGIN
     r := v_empids.FIRST
     LOOP
         EXIT when r IS NULL;
         do the business on v_empids(r);
         r := v_empids(r).NEXT;
     END LOOP;Now, why didn't this work in Forms, but did on the server? Possible reasons:
- your back end script was set up differently - so you had a dense collection (no gaps)
- Client side PL/SQL is different from server side (is it still version 1.x?)

Will REF CURSOR support for Oracle Forms 6i?

Hi,
I need to use ref cursor in my from. My cursor query should be dynamically append the "where clause". Hence I used the dynamic query with ref cursor.
But my problem is , when I compile the form it gives error for the line " OPEN emp_record FOR l_query;"
You need to use "select" statement.
Is there any solution for this in forms?
I know it supports for other PL/SQL areas.
Please help me. below is my code sample,
DECLARE
TYPE emp_refcur IS REF CURSOR;
emp_record    emp_refcur;
TYPE rec_emp_data IS RECORD
    emp_no              VARCHAR2(40),
emp_rec             rec_emp_data;
l_query               VARCHAR2(4000);
BEGIN
     l_query := 'SELECT empno
                 FROM emp ';
      IF :CONTROL.ename IS NOT NULL THEN
          l_query := l_query||' AND ename = '''||:CONTROL.ename||''' ';
      END IF;
     OPEN emp_record FOR l_query;
     LOOP
        FETCH emp_record INTO emp_rec;
        EXIT WHEN emp_record%NOTFOUND;
       dbms_output.put_line(emp_rec.emp_no);
    END LOOP;
    CLOSE emp_record;
END;      Thanks

Hi,
It's been a while since I used Forms 6i, but I remember hitting a similar problem. I don't think (and stress think!) that the PLSQL engine that comes with Forms 6i recognises ref_cursors.
The work-around I used was to move the functionality to the database and call it from forms.
Hope this helps.

Oracle form & report....

I bought a book'Oracle developer Advanced Forms & Report'. Software is not included. Could anyboby tell me from where I can download the software to practice this book.
Thanks....

I learned from the document there is a plan, the document link i posted is not from anybody else but from oracle itself
See a little extract from the doc
"Oracle has no plan to discontinue support of Oracle Forms. Furthermore, a new version of Forms, Oracle Forms 12c, is planned for delivery as a component of Oracle Fusion Middleware 12c"

Localization support on Oracle products: Arabic/Urdu

We need to work solution to enable both the database and front-end
applications with Urdu characters. So, that the tables can store urdu
character data and form can display and input urdu data, while reports
can show urdu data.
I was thinking, some of the people did this. Tell me even if anyone has
done this with Arabic characters. There are several available for
Arabic, i believe it should cover all urdu characters. Has anyone worked
on Locale Builder ?
I want to build a Dictionary of English/Urdu.
thanks

We run Oracle databases and application servers without any problems.
In the licencing documentations zones are explictly mentioned as capped zones are supported to partition a system.
So if you have an eight-core maschine but give the zone only one, you have only to licence this core.
Have a look at this document
http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/pricing/partitioning-070609.pdf
As said before if your software does not need low level access to the hardware or the kernel (as eg. a backup server or a nfs server) it should run fine into a zone.

Oracle Forms (11.1.2.2.0) is supported on RED HAT 7

Hi, all...
I need know if Oracle Forms (11.1.2.2.0) is supported on RED HAT 7, in certmatrix, the RED HAT 6 is supported, if I install in RED HAT 7, Oracle supports the product?
Thank you.

This forum is dedicated to support the Oracle Maven Repository and related Maven functionality and therefore, are unlikely to find answers to your Oracle Forms-related questions here. However, if the certification matrix does not explicitly list RHEL 7, that means that it has not been certified to run on RHEL 7.
