Use Form as a Background

I have an 8 page Word document that I have imported into LiveCycle Designer and created a form to fill out for users. There are over 250 text fields, date fields, drop down menu's. How can I save just the Word part of the form as a background so that when the owner of the form wants to change the Word document that I don't have to redo all the form fields again? I was told this is possible but not told how to do it. I can't figure out what to do first? I have the new Word document ready to go to create the form in LiveCycle Designer but am tired of spending hours coping the old form fields onto the new document.
Please HELP!

Thank you. I will.

What is the minimal number of open ports needed to use forms apps

Hi,
Our network administrators are doing a network segmentation / security project and they want to make it so that only authorized users can ping or see my oracle EBS server on the network, but they also want to lock down all ports that users can see, except for port 8000, which is the port we use to serve EBS on apache. I am having an argument with them. Because we use forms in socket mode, I am arguing that we need to keep all ports open because forms uses a port range and creates a socket with the users's PC in addition to holding/maintaining the Apache connection. My network administrator is saying no, it holds the socket connection in the background and they only need "access" to port 8000. I would agree with them if I was using servlet mode, but I don't think they are correct in socket mode. What port range do I need to make sure they allow through in addition to port 8000? BTW we use all the standard ports in EBS (eg 8000 is the out-of-the-box Apache port). Note also we have have single tier 11.5.10.2 installation on a solaris sparc server, so the ports that the 11i apps needs to interact / connect with itself is not relevant to the question. Also, the IT group (me) will still have access to all ports to do telnet, ssh, ping etc, we are only talking about from our end users's PCs. They are telling me to install Wireshark to find out more, and do some testing which I will - but I want to know what to expect.
Thanks Marv

Hussein,
Ok I have read the above documentation extensively. One thing that is quite clear is that if I switched to servlet mode, then all traffic goes through the Apache port (in my case 8000) and that would be the only port users need access too -- and this would be like setting up a DMZ or firewall inside the intranet. However, given that I am having performance issues, I need to know how to do this using forms in socket mode.
So for example in MOS 414439.1 it lists the entire ports and port pools. So I've taken that list, and separated it into groups One and Two (see below). My question is: To access EBS in the intranet by users, which of the ports in Group One is needed? And are all of the ports in group Two NOT needed? thanks in advance. Marv.
Group One of Port Pool
Web Listener Port s_webport      8000 ---> this is needed for sure.
Forms Listener Port s_formsport 9000 -------> this seems to be needed for sure.
Forms Servlet Port Range      s_forms_servlet_portrange      18000-18009 --> is this needed in socket mode?
Forms Start Port      s_frmStartPort      20000 --> is this needed?
Group Two of Port Pool - I believe that users do not need to have access to these ports for EBS, even
in forms socket mode..

    <p class="style6 style9">“I have been working with Owen Dawson for the past 7 years. During that time my swing has dramatically changed and improved. This has happened through Owen's drills and use of video. It is because of these techniques, that I understand how to hit good shots but just as importantly why I hit a shot poorly. I’m glad I’ve had the opportunity to work with Owen and would highly recommend him. ” <strong>Sam Young - Country Club of Maryland - 2009 Men's Club Champion </strong></p>
    <p class="style2">.............................................</p>
    <p class="style6 style9">“Owen does two things particularly well, in my opinion. First, he is a master of recording technology, and it really helps me to see what I need correcting, and what the new move needs to be. Second, Owen knows what the best next step should be in your own journey to a better swing. I have taken one or two lessons from Owen each year for the last three or four years – one relatively small step at a time, and then worked on grooving that step. In that period, my index has dropped about 8 strokes, and in 2007 I won the Club’s “Most Improved Player” award. Kudos to Owen!”</p>

Your PHP script is not secured at all. I would recommend using Forms To Go (http://www.bebosoft.com/products/formstogo/overview) to create the PHP script.
The unregistered version can be used for free. It will get you up and running in no time.
In your HTML form,remove enctype="multipart/form-data" from this:
<form action="contactformprocess_original_db.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="form1" id="form1" target="ifr">
enctype="multipart/form-data" is only required if you have a file upload field in the form.

Htmlcss Problem in calling Report using Forms 6i

Hi
My form6i server is on win2000 server.
I am calling Reports(Report6i) using forms 6i, my problem is when html report get generated in a IE browser, cell border AND background color are not coming, i tried desformat property set as htmlcss even tho i not get proper output. i only get report without borders.
Q1 ) My quetion is how i can get web html report with cell background and cell border using Report6i calling from forms 6i.
Q2 ) MY forms 6i service always get hagged after 2..3 hr, when restart it, i get my form in a browser. but again after some time my service get in some invalid state, how i can solve this problem.
thanks
sudarshan s vatturkar

Sudarshan,
Q1 ) My quetion is how i can get web html report with cell background and cell border using Report6i calling from forms 6i.
Reports6i does not support cell background colors in html format. Htmlcss in Reports does render table borders, but it does so in the color that is assigned to teh table in teh building environment
Q2 ) MY forms 6i service always get hagged after 2..3 hr, when restart it, i get my form in a browser. but again after some time my service get in some invalid state, how i can solve this problem.
This is hard to answer via the forum as it may have platform dependencies. If this is a serious issue then I recommend consulting Oracle customer support.

How do i contact a web service using forms 6.0?

I need my application (using Forms [32 Bit] Version 6.0.8.13.0 (Production) and oracle 8) to get some informations from a web service. Does anybody have a suggestion?
I thought I could make a java bean to contact the web service and then put a java bean in a bean area but it doesn't seem to work for a client service application (either that or i did something wrong trying, but the result of a google search claims that "Javabean integration in Oracle Forms is a Forms on the Web feature only. It won't work in client server mode.")
Please, I would appreciate any suggestion to allow the form to colloquiate with the web service.

That's not the answer I was hoping for (1) but I have to admit that's pretty much what I expected. I did some google search and every hint was in that direction.
I'll see if I can put put together a activex or ole2 to get the same result, even if i have next to no experience on building such components. If everything else fails I'll just have my form call a separate executable via "host" command and wait for the answer either on the db or on a file.
Thanks
(1) the answer I was hoping for was something among the lines of "Who cares? I've got this truckload of money I don't know what to do of, so I'll just give it to you. Quit that boring job and retire in luxury on some private island with a harem of perfect looking women". Quite unlikely,I know, but since I'm hoping, why shouldn't I hope for the best possible outcome?

How to get up and running with WebUtil 1.06 included with Oracle Developer Suite 10.1.2.0.2 on a win32 platform
Solution
Assuming a fresh "Complete" install of Oracle Developer Suite 10.1.2.0.2,
here are steps to get a small test form running, using WebUtil 1.06.
Note: Oracle_Home is used as an alias for your real oDS ORACLE_HOME.
Feel free to copy this note to a text editor, and do a global find/replace on
Oracle_Home with your actual value (no trailing slash). Then it is easy to
copy/paste actual commands to be executed from the note copy.
1) Download http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/jacob-project/jacob_18.zip
and extract to a temporary staging area. Do not attempt to use 1.7 or 1.9.
2) Copy or move jacob.jar and jacob.dll
C:\webutile is the folder where you extracted Jacob, and will end in ...\jacob_18
cd C:\webutile
copy jacob.jar Oracle_Home\forms\java\.
copy jacob.dll Oracle_Home\forms\webutil\.
The Jacob staging area is no longer needed, and may be deleted.
3) Sign frmwebutil.jar and jacob.jar
Open a DOS command prompt.
Add Oracle_Home\jdk\bin to the PATH:
set PATH=Oracle_Home\jdk\bin;%PATH%
Sign the files, and check the output for success:
Oracle_Home\forms\webutil\sign_webutil Oracle_Home\forms\java\frmwebutil.jar
Oracle_Home\forms\webutil\sign_webutil Oracle_Home\forms\java\jacob.jar
4) If you already have a schema in your RDBMS which contains the WebUtil stored code,
you may skip this step. Otherwise,
Create a schema to hold the WebUtil stored code, and privileges needed to
connect and create a stored package. Schema name "WEBUTIL" is recommended
for no reason other than consistency over the user base.
Open Oracle_Home\forms\create_webutil_db.sql in a text editor, and delete or comment
out the EXIT statement, to be able to see whether the objects were created witout
errors.
Start SQL*Plus as SYSTEM, and issue:
CREATE USER webutil IDENTIFIED BY [password]
DEFAULT TABLESPACE users
TEMPORARY TABLESPACE temp;
GRANT CONNECT, CREATE PROCEDURE, CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM TO webutil;
CONNECT webutil/webutil@rcci
@Oracle_Home\forms\create_webutil_db.sql
-- Inspect SQL*Plus output for errors, and then
CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM webutil_db FOR webutil.webutil_db;
Reconnect as SYSTEM, and issue:
grant execute on webutil_db to public;
5) Modify Oracle_Home\forms\server\default.env, and append Oracle_Home\jdk\jre\lib\rt.jar
to the CLASSPATH entry.
6) Modify Oracle_Home\forms\server\formsweb.cfg insde [default] add :
archive_jini=frmall_jinit.jar,frmwebutil.jar,jacob.jar
archive=frmall.jar
also add :
[webutil]
WebUtilLogging=off
WebUtilLoggingDetail=normal
WebUtilErrorMode=Alert
WebUtilDispatchMonitorInterval=5
WebUtilTrustInternal=true
WebUtilMaxTransferSize=16384
baseHTMLjinitiator=webutiljini.htm
baseHTMLjpi=webutiljpi.htm
baseHTML=webutilbase.htm
archive_jini=frmall_jinit.jar
WebUtilArchive=frmwebutil.jar,jacob.jar,f90all.jar
archive=frmwebutil.jar,f90all.jar
lookAndFeel=oracle
7) Modify Oracle_Home\forms\server\webutil.cfg and add :
transfer.database.enabled=TRUE
transfer.appsrv.enabled=TRUE
8) Start the OC4J instance
9) Start Forms Builder and connect to a schema in the RDBMS used in step (4).
Open webutil.pll, do a "Compile ALL" (shift-Control-K), and generate to PLX (Control-T).
It is important to generate the PLX, to avoid the FRM-40039 discussed in Note 303682.1
If the PLX is not generated, the Webutil.pll library would have to be attached with
full path information to all forms wishing to use WebUtil. This is NOT recommended.
10) Create a new FMB.
Open webutil.olb, and Subclass (not Copy) the Webutil object to the form.
There is no need to Subclass the WebutilConfig object.
Attach the Webutil.pll Library, and remove the path.
Add an ON-LOGON trigger with the code
NULL;
to avoid having to connect to an RDBMS (optional).
Create a new button on a new canvas, with the code
show_webutil_information (TRUE);
in a WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger.
Compile the FMB to FMX, after doing a Compile-All (Shift-Control-K).
11) Under Edit->Preferences->Runtime in Forms Builder, click on "Reset to Default" if
the "Application Server URL" is empty.
Then append "?config=webutil" at the end, so you end up with a URL of the form
http://server:port/forms/frmservlet?config=webutil
12) Run your form.

Occasional ora-6502 using forms 6i and 10g

Hi all.
We have been experiencing some weird and unexpected ora-6502 errors in some of our forms 6i modules running against 10g (rel 1 or 2).
Forms modules are correctly functioning and for some reason, one day an ora-6502 error suddenly pops up.
Now the weirdest thing is that after you put some messages on the trigger, so you can track down where the error is coming from, it disappears.
I know that this may sound hard to believe, but it has happened several times. All we do is put some message built in, recompile all, and the error is gone (for a while).
So my questions are:
- Is this a known issue beween forms 6i and 10g Db?.
- Is there a patch on Metalink ( we use Forms [32 bits] Versión 6.0.8.26.0 (Producción))
- A workaround?
and most important
- Have anyone been exposed to a similar situation?
Regards, Luis ...!

Now the weirdest thing is that after you put some messages on the trigger, so you can track down where the error is coming from, it disappears.Sounds like the form has not been "clean compiled" against the server on which it is running. Try a "Compile All", which causes all previously compiled program units to be compiled fresh.
Or even better, clean out all the compiled code from your fmb before compiling the fmb on the server where it runs.
See this topic: Re: Why does this happen - find ';', replace with ';'?

Hi, I am using HP11 and iPlanet web server. When trying to upload files over HTTP using FORM ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" that are bigger than a few Kilobytes i get a 408 error. (client timeout).

Hi, I am using HP11 and iPlanet web server. When trying to upload files over HTTP using FORM ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" that are bigger than a few Kilobytes i get a 408 error. (client timeout). It is as if the server has decided that the client has timed out during the file upload. The default setting is 30 seconds for AcceptTimeout in the magnus.conf file. This should be ample to get the file across, even increasing this to 2 minutes just produces the same error after 2 minutes. Any help appreciated. Apologies if this is not the correct forum for this, I couldn't see one for iPlanet and Web, many thanks, Kieran.

Hi,
You didnt mention which version of IWS. follow these steps.
(1)Goto Web Server Administration Server, select the server you want to manage.
(2)Select Preference >> Perfomance Tuning.
(3)set HTTP Persistent Connection Timeout to your choice (eg 180 sec for three minutes)
(4) Apply changes and restart the server.
*Setting the timeout to a lower value, however, may prevent the transfer of large files as timeout does not refer to the time that the connection has been idle. For example, if you are using a 2400 baud modem, and the request timeout is set to 180 seconds, then the maximum file size that can be transferred before the connection is closed is 432000 bits (2400 multiplied by 180)

I need help with color pallette in iPhoto 11. I have created a book and would like to use a different color background than those given in "background." I have found the color palettes but can't seem to incorporate them into my backgrounds palette.

I need help with color pallette in iPhoto 11. I have created a book and would like to use a different color background than those given in "background." I have found the color palettes but can't seem to incorporate them into my backgrounds palette.

That is not a feature of iPhoto - suggest to Apple - iPhoto Menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback.
Additionally I have no idea what you are saying here
I have found the color palettes but can't seem to incorporate them into my backgrounds palette.
And it always helps for you to dientify the version of iPhoto that you are using

How do I upload a form to my website using form central?

How do I upload a form to my website using form central?

Using Form Central you can distribute your form as a web-based HTML form, a fillable PDF form, or both.
You can copy the URL or the embed code for the form and post it on your website. When a respondent clicks the link, the fillable form opens in a browser window.
The only exception: These options don’t apply to fillable PDF forms that you imported into Adobe FormsCentral.
Please refer to the article http://help.adobe.com/en_US/formscentral/using/WSd789abd336388b16-9d277de12da94c8037-8000. html#WS49f7d3dd80da808f7c9fcbc138d00a7399-8000.

Calling web service in Oracle Applications using Forms....

Can I call a web service in Oracle Appications 11.5.10?
I created a simple form on my local machine and invoked the webservice in that form and it works perfectly. I used Oracle forms 9i and 6i for this purpose and both are working perfectly.
But when I created the same form on the UNIX server and imported the Java Class and placed that form in Oracle Applications and tried to invoke the web service it is not working.
I am using Forms 6i for creating the form in Oracle Applications.
Are there any other factors that I am neglecting?
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks.........

Hi,
could you please explain here the detailed steps (with code example if it's possible) to invoke a webservice from Oracle Applications?.. how did yo do it...?
I've read differents posts here and the 33097.1 metalink note (by the way, the first recommended link in this note is broken...), but there are lots of theorical concepts and no real examples to see how/from where invoke the WS
I'll have to call one webservice (I suppose the customer will give me the interface implementation)...but I've never did it with Applications so that's why I ask you for all the detailed steps...
I work with Forms 6i, Apps 11.5.10.2 and DB 9.2.0.7.
Thanks a lot.
Jose.
