URGENT: Need to read file on client side from a 9i form

Hi
I have developed a 9i form and I assumed I could use TEXT_IO to read a file on the client side and insert the data into a database table. However, I have just tested the form and discovered that TEXT_IO only looks for files on the application server and NOT the client side.
Does anyone know of a forms package in 9i that will do this for me? Using ftp to get the file onto the application server is not really an option.

Francois
We are sure that we do not have the WebUtil package installed in our environment. We are using a thrid party forms 9i application which we can tailor by adding our own forms to the existing menus. The third party application has some upload screens provided that are able to do upload a file without using WebUtil. Is there any other way this could be done? I have asked the third party to provide some asistance with this but they are not too forthcoming. Is there any other way you know of using Oracle/forms that allows a file to be read on the client side and sent to the application server? Oracle logs was mentioned by someone I talked to but this means nothing to me.

UTL_FILE: Reading and Writing client-side Files

Hi All,
Please tell me how to read & write UTL_FILE at client-side
Regards

And you need this XML to be generated on and read from a client machine? You can't generate the file on the server, move it to the new server, and import it?
If you need to generate files on the client machine, the client application would have to do the file I/O. Java has a number of libraries for generating XML and parsing XML that could be used, for example, but that implies that a Java application has been deployed to the client machine.

Error Reading setup Intialization file on client side

Hi Expert,
When i install the Client setup at client side it's give me the error "Error Reading setup Intialization file".
I take the setup from the Server B1_shr folder.
Please reply ASAP.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi Tushar Nathwani,
"Error Reading setup Initialization file" implies the setup file is corrupted. You have to find a working copy of it.
There is no other way around.
Thanks,

Merging randomly-named XML data file on client-side with pdf designed in Livecycle 7.0 (and addition

Okay, as a heads up I work for a financial institution and we are converting our legacy "jetforms" to pdf format. I have in my staff for the project, 2 code developers and myself- a form designer. We have currently spent 2 months in trial and error attempting to resolve this problem, please let us know anything you can have. All client-side (internal) machines are running Windows XP and Adobe Reader 7.0.7
The software we use as a financial institution allows our users to export a customer's data file onto their machine which is then renamed to include the member's account number and first and last name for our staff to determine which data file they need more accurately. In legacy jetforms, we have developed a program that pushes the data from the customers file that they select, into the jetform that they want to open and the matching fields in the data file fill in the fields of the jetform. Clean and simple.
Now, i have hit nothing but frustration when attempting to perform the same process with pdfs using a form designed in livecycle designer 7. First, i see no obvious command for opening a pdf and importing a data file using a command line, like pdfmerge or something of the sort in which an xml data file can be specified and a pdf can be specified. I saw something like it using an fdf format and attempted to do this but apparently reader cannot import the data into the pdf that was designed adobe livecycle 7. All i have been seeing is database connections and using javascript inside the form to populate fields based on these database connections, etc. etc. or doing a manual file>import data>etc. which we don't want to have our staff do. We do not have reader extensions enabled, simply because i cannot get an adobe representative to call me and discuss pricing nor see any estimated pricing chart around. I don't know if reader extensions are necessary for this or not but i'm becoming very very frustrated with it.
We don't want a complex server-side data connection binding with dynamic input. No, we just want it where our developers can say "if this data file is selected, and this pdf form is selected run this command" which would be a simple pdfmerge type solution. Is this possible or do i need to stay with jetforms until our software the billion dollar financial institution uses does form building inside its own application? I don't want to fight about who is better, what version to use, etc. I just want the straight up honest truth. If you need to know the pricing that the reader extensions would have to go by, assume there will be 500 client computers that will need to use it.

From your post it sounds like you are Central Pro (a product for which I am by no means an expert), but you say you want to upgrade to a newer product from your "legacy" one. Is there a reason for this? Have your requirements change so that it no longer fits them? Central is still in the current Adobe roster and as far as I know there is no plans to get rid of it any time soon, so if it does everything you want I don't see why you would want to change.
There is no product in the LiveCycle suite that merges xml data into a form from the command line. LiveCycle (with the exception of Designer) is a suite of server products, so the closest you would come is LiveCycle Forms (merge the xml and create a fillable PDF) or LiveCycle Print (merge the xml and print the form).
Hope this helps somewhat.

Load data from File on Client side (via Sqlplus)

Server OS: RedHat, Oracle 10g rel 2.
I am trying to load data from OS .txt files to clob field.
I am able to do this successfully using:
Oracle DIRECTORY
BFILE
DBMS_LOB.loadclobfromfile packageIssue is: this only works if my files and DIR are on database server.
Is it not possible "load clob from file" from client side, files being on client and exec command via SQLPlus. Is there any other option to load data from client side.
Thanks for any help.

Can we create export dump files on client side??

Hi,
Please see this link
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14215/dp_overview.htm#i1010293
Check the "NOTE" which says that
All Data Pump Export and Import processing, including the reading and writing of dump files, is done on the system (server) selected by the specified database connect string. This means that, for nonprivileged users, the database administrator (DBA) must create directory objects for the Data Pump files that are read and written on that server file system. For privileged users, a default directory object is available
So does this mean, the dump files can be created only on the server???
What if i want to create the dump file on my client c:\
Is it possible??
As per my knowledge, this was possible in 9i
Thanks

Yes in the "orignal" export ,it was possible to have a client side dump file.But the Export DataPump uses the Directory parameter which maps to a directory on the server side only and the option to give an absolute path for the dump file on the client side is removed,the files can be only on server side.

Writing and updating XML file on client side

Hello,
I'm looking for a simple example which permit to write and
update a xml file on the client side.
Someone can help me, please?

meghashyamgr ,
Because of security reasons a swf running in a browser cannot
read or write xml files to a user's computer. What can be done,
however, is write xml to what is known as a SharedObject.
SharedObjects act as cookies for Flashplayer.
If you would like an example of this I'd be more than happy

Print text file to client side printer

Hi all,
I have a character mode report which will print to a client side dot matrix printer in 6i. After converted to 10g, we cannot print to the client side printer (because we don't want to map so many print queue from the AS).
So, I try to generate the report to a text file, then use webutil to transfer the txt file to the client PC, and then use Client_HOST to call the window PRINT command to print the text file to the client side printer.
I have test this is successful, however, when I try to do the same thing to a report with Vietnam character, then it is not.
The print request is sent to the printer, but the printer have no response.
But that file can be print successfully if I open in Notepad and then print manually.
I try to use window TYPE command and COPY command, but still have no luck.
Can anyone give me some suggestions for this....
Thanks!

Open Oracle Form in client side from BPEL Process

Hello,
I'm new in BPEL and I'm trying to do a Process who open a Form before it finish. I do that with a Java embedding with the next code:
try {
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("rundll32.exe url.dll,FileProtocolHandler http://dl380:8890/forms/frmservlet?config=atender&otherparams=CLIENTE="+variable );
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
But this code open a form in the server side and I need that it be open in the client side. Someone know what's can I do?
I hope you help me in this!
Thanks in advance!
Alejandra

Hi Sreedhar,
Probably there are simpler options, but one thing you can do is to create a new function in Oracle to access the same form (Service Contracts Authoring), and include this in the Form Parameters:
QUERY_ONLY="YES"
That will make the function read only (in theory). Now you can call that function from the OAF Page instead of OKS_OKSAUDET.
Hope it helps.
