URGENT: shortcut to forms

Hi!
To create the forms whith the FORM BUILDER from oracle 10g, I always start up the OC4J instance, therefore, i am not connected to the net, and I do not want to be.
So the problem is:
Is it possible to create a shortcut so that if someone else other than me wants to use the forms I've created, and work with my database, does not need to open the form builder?!
Wich means that by clicking on the shortcut icon, the connect window is popped up, the log in is inserted and I go directly to the forms created.
Thanks

if it's forms6i or ealier then you may deploy it as c/s mode if 'use your form you created to work on database' means using your forms to work on database data, not to modify your form source code.
9i or up is not not a option for c/s deployment, but for design time only unless you can hack the runtime out of the builder.
If you want other developers to access your source codes, then you may use clearcase or oracle homemade version control tool, and properly you need to write some script to automate what you want. Hopefully Oracle has something available because it helps to be productive.

I've received the following answer from Mr. Frank Nimphius:
R: Tiago,
if your PC is accessible for internal users and OC4J is up and running, you could have them creating a Browser shortct that looks similar to
iexplorer http://tiagos_server:8889/forms90/f90servlet&form=ttiago_form.fmx....
You can also define an application entry in the Forms forms.cfg file and change the shortcut to
iexplorer http://tiagos_server:8889/forms90/f90servlet&config=app_entry
Other people won't be able to edit the Forms this way, but can run your modules against your data base.
Frank
The Problem is:
It does not open the forms!!
How can I solve this problem !?
thanks

Mr Grant,
I have created the shortcut icon, and putted that url.
It initializes the applet and a window appears saying Installed Successfully!
Oracle Aplication Server Forms Services.
The window has an ok button, and I click it, but no form appears.
Then nothing appens..
It says that the window is opening but i've been waiting for centuries and my forms are not shown.
I really need to do it.
Thanks,
Tiago

Hi,
You need to craete a SMARTFORM using transaction SMARTFORMS. In this trasaction under FORM INTERFACE give the variable which would be passed from your program.
Then use these variables and pass the information in Windows which you will create in your smartforms.
When you activate your SMART form it will create a Fucntion Module whihc you need to call from your report program.
Please go through the information given in thread :

Thanks in advance

Do we need to create concurrent program and executable and add to the request group?Depends if you have custom concurrent programs. If so, then here are the steps:
To create a Custom Program:
- Login to System Administrator Responsibility
- Navigate to Concurrent > Program > Define
- Define your program
To add the Concurrent Program to the Request Group:
- Login to System Administrator Responsibility
- Navigate to Security > Responsibility > Request
- Query your Request Group
- Under Requests, select "Program" under "Type", enter the name of the Concurrent Program under "Name"

How to create shortcuts using Form 10g

hi all,
my problem is that i want to perform some task by pressing 1 a key.
for e.g., i want to do a certain job by pressing F3.
how can i implement it.
thanks and rgds
Aml

all keys are mapped to KEY-trigger. The mapping can be found in the fmrweb.res - file in the forms-home-directory.
Example:
The mapped key-trigger for F6 is normally KEY-CREREC (create-record)
If you write your code in this trigger on form-level, then each pressed F6 starts your code.
If some trigger are not mapped, then map them to hotkeys you like in the fmrweb.res.
Best practice: Don't change them, because this hotkeys are known from most oracle-user and if you change F 10 (commit) to some other functionality, then the user runs crazy because his hotkey has changed :-)

URGENT: convert pdf Form to Word Form

Ihave a filled in pdf form and a blank form and I need to convert each to a Word form. acro pro 7 If I had vers 8.0 pro,would the steps be any different?
what is the fastest way to do this? The boss says the pdf form is not flexible enough but I cannot ask her more at this moment.

As long as you have been using Acrobat, I am surprised that your boss would have such a question. I thought of one possibility if the form fields are not retained in WORD, but don't know if it will work. You could try to save as HTML (I usually have best luck with HTML 3) and then open that in WORD. That might give you a back door to keep the form fields in much the same way opening a HTML form in Acrobat retains the form fields. Just a thought if the WORD save does not work.
In terms of flexibility, it is a simple matter to create the form (without fields) in WORD (the master document), make changes, and create a new PDF. Then the modified pages can simply be used to replace those in the old form (don't forget to work on a copy). I guess that is the second idea that is probably the route you were planning to take. Again, bood luck with the boss and with WORD. Bill

I want to enable the existing DFF segment i.e. Attribute12 when schedule_ship_date get changed. Means if schedule_ship_date changes then I want to store it in DFF segment.
Please can you tell me the steps how i can enable the DFF segment in Oracle forms or how i can do it mandatory if date changes. I am using 11.5.10.2 Oracle Apps version.

I suggest you to create an event Alert instead of a database trigger; this is the best practice.
For more details, lpease let me know.

Urgent! Oracle Form 6

Hi all...
I'm new to Oracle Form... But i am using it to create a program using Oracle Form 6. I have one table called Customer. There is a button called 'Create New Customer' which will allow the user to create a new record when he/she clicks on it.
What I want to know is 'How to make the button so it can record the new customer?'
I've been looking around to solve this problem. But I still don't manage to get it works.
Thank you very much

i created an alert named UPDATE_ALERT. It has two buttons, which are 'OK' and Cancel
Here is the code in program unit:
PROCEDURE DISPLAY_UPDATE_ALERT IS
     alert_button NUMBER;
BEGIN
alert_button := SHOW_ALERT('UPDATE_ALERT');
IF alert_button = ALERT_BUTTON1 THEN
     COMMIT;
     MESSAGE('Record successfully updated.');
ELSE
     ROLLBACK;
     MESSAGE('Record is not updated.');
END IF;
END;
And i placed the procedure in Update button trigger 'When-Button-Pressed'
Both compiled successfully..
I run the form and update a record. When i click on 'Update' button in the form, it does show the alert. I click on 'OK' and it prompts out 'FRM-40400: Transaction Complete: 1 record applied and saved.'
What should i do if i don't want that message (FRM-40400)?? I know it's indicationg that the record has been sucessfully updated.
Thank you

Urgent ,Copy data form from one folder to another

Hi all,
I want to know how to copy a bulk of data forms in a folder X to another folder Y.Both X and Y folder under a common parent folder Z.
Thanks,
ColDFire

If you wanted to just move them then you could of done it in planning.
Otherwise you can try using LCM or the formdef utility to export to xml, update the folder name in the xml then import back in.
Try it with one to see if it works, I doubt it will work if the folder name is the same but under a different parent.

Urgent: pictures on forms 9i

I'm trying to insert and query pictures within forms 9i.
What is the code I should use to be able to call open dialog window so I can determine the location of my picture during the run time.
I usually use the following code within form 6i:
DECLARE
TEMP_FILE VARCHAR2(500);
BEGIN
TEMP_FILE :=get_file_name(file_filter=>'allfiles(*.*)|*.*|',message=>'Select the picture'
,dialog_type=>open_file);
if TEMP_FILE is not null then
read_image_file(TEMP_FILE,'any','photo');
end if;
end;
But it does not work within forms 9i.
Any help will be appreciated.

Your code is based on client/server architecture (in Forms 6i), but doesn't work in the web architecture of Forms 9i. To upload files from the client PC, you have to use webutil.
