Urgent : Sizing MDI Window for Forms running on Web

Hi,
I am using Developer 6.0 and deploying forms on Web. I use
SEPERATE_FRAME = YES in my HTML so that the form appears outside
the browser in a seperate Window. The problem I am facing is the
initial size of the MDI Window is very small compared to the
Application window, so I have to maximise the MDI Window
manually in order to see my Application Window completely.
On Client Server I can get the handle of this MDI window using
FORMS_MDI_WINDOW and maximise it programatically. On Web
FORMS_MDI_WINDOW returns NULL as a result I cannot maximise the
same.
1. Is there any way to get the handle of MDI Window on web ?
2. If not is there a way to set the size of MDI window thru any
parameters or setting in HTML file or by other means ?
Thanx in advance
Ravi

Hello,
you must generate a CWeb - cartrigde for your forms with a
separate frame in the Oracle Application Server_v4.0.7.
In the height and wight values for the frame set your size.
It works very well.
All the best

How to launch a local program from a Form running on Web

How to launch a program in local hard disk, say notepad, from a Form running on web?
I tried the HOST() function but it will launch notepad on the application server other than the client.
Thanks,

You can use the following code from a Pluggable Java Component (PJC) to invoke notepad
String cmd = "notepad.exe";
Process p1 = null;
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
int exitValue;
try
p1 = rt.exec(cmd);
exitValue = p1.exitValue();
System.out.println("Command returned status : " + exitValue);
catch (Exception e)
System.out.println("Error : " + e);
Of course in reality the command to execute would be sent from the Forms Program as a Set_Custom_Property on the PJC
Note that the PJC to do this would have to be signed to allow access to run such commands

New Window for Form called from a form based on a procedure

Hi
I have a form that is based on a procedure that asks for an employee number. The number is then passed to the procedure. The procedure then calls the next form passing in the employee number.
This works however I would like the form called from the procedure to open in a new window while still being able to pass in the employee number as a parameter.
Is there a way to do this? I have tried looking at wwa_app_module.new_instance & wwv_media.show_newwindow but I these only take the moduleid, I can't see how to pass in the employee number at the same time.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Belinda

Hi,
You can pass parameters like this
wwv_redirect.url('SJAYARAM_9042F.wwa_app_module.link?p_arg_names=_moduleid&p_arg_values=1060253649&p_arg_names=deptno&p_arg_values=10&p_arg_names=_deptno_cond&p_arg_values=%3d');
In this example the parameter deptno is passed with a value 10 and conditional operator '='
Hope that helps.
Thanks,
Sharmila

How Oracle forms server 6i run on web?(Configuration)

hi all,
I want to run oracle forms on web.
For that,
I installed forms server 6i.
I installed forms developer 6i.
which web server i have to install?
What are the configuration required for that both (Web Server and Forms Server)?
can u give me suggestion step by step.
thanx in advance
regards,

Hi,
Forms Server uses the WebDB Listener for the web access.
Since then we improved Forms Services to use the Oracle HTTP Listener in Oracle Application Server. Oracle Applicaqtion Server also is the only supported application server for Forms on the web.

Running forms in Windows for development

Hi gurus
My EBS 11.5.10 is on a Linux box. Developing a new form is a slow task because I edit the form in Windows, then send to Linux via FTP and compile it there, just to some testing. To me this a very cumbersome job.
Is there some way to solve this?
Meanwhile to trying to run the form in Windows, I downloaded entire AU directory to my PC, and now I want to compile all PLL files in resource directory, but APPCORE.pll gives me this error:
Compilation errors on APP_EXPORT:
PL/SQL ERROR 0 at line 0, column 0
ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [17003], [66331644], [1012], [1], [], [], [], []
Failed to generate library.
FRM-30312: Failed to compile the library.
I compile PLL files with this:
ifcmp60 Module=APPCORE.pll Userid=apps@TEST/xxxxxx Module_Type=LIBRARY batch=YES
What I'm doing wrong?
Is my idea insane?
Can this be done?
Thanks for your answers
Oscar

Hi,
Did you edit the FORMS60_PATH in the registry and add the directory where all pll files are located? See this thread for details.
templates for Forms
Re: templates for Forms
When you ftp the form to the server, make sure you are logged in as applmgr user and you have sourced the application env file before using f60gen to compile the form. See this thread for they syntax and for the FRM-30312 error you get.
syntax for compiling pll files in oracle11i on windows

Also, see (Note: 287115.1 - How to troubleshoot FRM-30312 With Applications 11i Forms Libraries)

HOW TO HIDE MDI WINDOW INFORMS 9I WHEN THEY RUN IN WEB BROWSER

Hi. Will any body tell me how to hide the default MDI window title in Forms 9i when it run in Web Browser. I am using the "Look and feel" property as "Generic" in Formsweb.cfg file. I tried the RESIZE,POSITION,MINIMIZE,VISIBLE FALSE properties of SET_WINDOW_PROPERTY FUNCTION, But the horizontal Bar at the top displaying "Window" on it, is displayed. OR some time form is not displayed at all. So plz help me. This kindness of any one will be appriciated.
Regards
Inayat Qazi

Hi Inayat,
To remove the ORACLE icon, change the line "logo=" to "logo=x" in file formsweb.cfg.
I am not sure if it is possible to remove the standard-menu (horizontal bar with word Window, as you describe it), because as far as I know it is inheritance for the Windows OS. In other words, removing the standard menu can only be achieved if you run on another OS.
Kind regards.

Display whole Forms MDI window

Hi,
I have webforms 10.1.2.3 running on XP Sp3 clients using IE7 with Sun plugin 1.6 update 17.
I start a form and maximize the MDI window
set_window_property(forms_mdi_window,width,maximize);
set_window_property(forms_mdi_window,height,maximize);
or
set_window_property(forms_mdi_window,window_state,maximize);
the Window is maximized, but the MS Windows iconbar ( including icons for the opened application, the shortcuts,..) will be displayed in front of the 2nd message/statusline of the forms Window?
If I press the maximize window icon of the Forms MDI window, the whole MDI window comes in front and the whole Forms MDI will be displayed correctly.
Is there a way to bring the whole Forms MDI window programmatically in Front?
Thanks
Hendrik

hi, i also have the same issue as you although it is not a show stopper where I work, I did some investigating on this forum
check out this link
set_window_property(forms_mdi_window, window_state, maximize);

Help... I need help to install a server for my form to run on web

Hi there,
I installed a New server with Windows 2003.
I have some oracle forms developed using 6i, I don't mind to convert them later.
What other oracle 10g software I need to install to have my oracle forms and reports to run on web?
I tried to install in this sequence but not working:-
1- windows 2003
2- IIS
3- Oracle Developer Suite
Then I removed IIS and installed the Oracle SOA Application server also still cannot.
What did I do wrong or what should I install (I meant by sequence?)
Please advise.
Thank you

Why installing IIS o_O?
For Installing a developer Machine just install Oracle Developer suite; for testing your forms you use OC4J ("start OC4J instance" in start menu), and you can run your forms in web; no need for a aditional webserver (don't believe there's an OC4J connector for IIS available; and if so I wouldn't use it either ;-))
For Installing a server for "productional" use install Oracle Application Server (available on otn) which comes with an Apache as webserver and all the other needful things for runnung forms on the web.
For configuring both of them just take a look at the documentations on http://otn.oracle.com

Capacity sizing document for Forms on iAS(Oracle Application Server)

Hi,
I need to know from where I can get Capacity planning document for Forms on Oracle Application Server for Intel/Solaris/Aix arch.Please Advise.
Regards,
Noman

Hi,
we have several developers working with developer suite 10g. Our OAS runs on Linux as yours. All our developers work locally using windows-pc's. We have a samba share we use to move the developed sources to the linux box. On the linux box with have some scirpts to compile the sources and move them to the runtime-directory.
The final integration test in then done using the installed application on the oas.
This works without having any problems for more two years now.
btw: Be aware of the problems you will run into when moving an application from windows to linux:
-> All filename ar Case-sensitive
-> the writing of module-names in OPEN_FORM, NEW_FORM, CALL_FORM must match exactly the filename (in other words: call_form, open_form and new_form is also case-sensitive
-> Attached librarys are also case-sensitive, even if there are shown in uppercase in the module-navigator.
hope this helps.

Getting windows error during running the sql scripts from form 6i

Forms mdi window

hi

If you are in Client Server you can run in Single Document Interface mode - USESDI=YES on the command line

Forms 10g : How to hide the parent MDI window.

Hi All ,
We have migrated an forms sdi application into forms 10g.
Now in the new application , we see a parent MDI appearing as a background to the SDI windows which is smaller in size ( as per the settings ).
Wanted to know if there is any solution to hide this parent Window(MDI) as the user wants a similar look and feel as his current application.
Any help is really appreciated .
thank you all.

Dear Friend,
If u r using SeparateFrame = true, then you cannot minimize forms MDI window, because this is the form on which your sdi form is based. It is better if you display your forms inside the main browser by setting SeparateFrame = false. It will look better as a new Internet explorer window will not be visible, which is true for SeparateFrame = true parameter.

(urgent) web cache for forms 10g

Hi all,
We have application running on oracle 10g Aps resently migrated and we got couple of freequently used forms by default my webcache is on but i dont know how can i specifialy say that thease forms to be cached like if i see my webcache page i could see some of the gifs had cached but no specific forms how can i do this.
I shall be highly be obliged if one can clear my queries in the forum may wish to add to 2cents to my infinetly minimal knowledge of webcache.

Not really true. You could setup a rule to cache the JAR files for Forms. Additionally, you could cache the GIF files accessed by the applet, though it would be better to move those image files into a JAR file. Why?...
If you use a static HTML file to call your forms, that would be cached by default.
Because the client JVM caches the files. You can view this in the Java Console of JInitiator or your Java Plug-in. Additionally, you can see when the image files are served from the JAR files by looking in the Java Console as well. Change to level 5 trace in the Java Console window and look for GIF files with a path that includes http://server/forms/jave/filename.jar!/filename.gif. Notice the ! symbol. That shows a client JAR cache hit for that GIF file. Served locally, doesn't even make it to Web Cache!
The rest of the communication really isn't cacheable. Communication goes from the Applet (Client JVM) through Web Cache to the HTTP Server to the OC4J_BI_Forms container (OC4J JVM) that runs the Forms listener servlet which talks directly with the Forms Server runtime process running as a Unix process (C, not Java).
So, the only communication that goes between the applet and the Appliction Server is just the messages between the applet and Forms Server process telling the applet how to refresh the display on the client's applet screen and telling the Forms Server process what to do with the data and code being run. This communication is optimized by using message diffs, so it is relatively efficient. But an application not optimized for the web might use chatty functionality that slows things down a bit.
Anyway, xhomet is essentially right in that Web Cache doesn't do much of any significance besides load balancing. Caching JAR files might make sense for you though if you have a lot of users all getting this JAR or an updated JAR at the same time.
Hopefully you foundthis interesting.
