Use of Times ten database with Oracle Forms 11g

Hi,
We need to use some caching / pre-fetching solution with Oracle Forms 11g. Is there a possibility that Oracle Forms 11g can be used with Times ten database.
Regards,

We have never tested TimesTen with Forms 11g but we suspect there are issues that may prevent if from being used.
Sorry.

Using jfreechart with oracle forms 11g

Hi everybody,
I'm using jfreechart with oracle forms 11g to continue having graphs in my application since i'm migrating from forms 6i. I've already got it working and it's great. Just have one problem left. I don't know how to change the axis labels. In Bar charts, it comes with "Values" in y axis and "Category" in x axis by default. I wanted to change that or make it dissapear. Anyone knows how to?

I've never used the jFreeChart, but according to their website you can use the "setLabel" method to set the label for an axis. Check out Axis (JFreeChart Class Library) for more information.

Connecting MS-Access database with Oracle Forms

Hai,
Can any one suggest as to how I can connect MS-Access database
with Oracle Developer Forms. What is the procedure ? Suggest me
if I need to install any drivers. Waiting for an early reply.
Warm Regards,
Raghav.
email:[email protected]

Not possible as far as I know.
Probably because ODBC itself (the defined interface) doesn't support it.
There is a commercial MS Access (java only) driver that might support it.

Is it possible to use DVT with Oracle Forms 11g?

Hi,
I have posted my question on Oracle Forms forum but I didn't get answere regarding dvt usage in Oracle Forms.
Now I try it here.
Oracle Forms 11g and charts / graphs
====
one of our customers has a forms 6i applications including oracle graphics and is thinking about upgrade to forms 11g.
Oracle graphics has been desupported with 6i and with 9i Oracle BI beans has been recommended.
Forms 10g is the terminal version for Oracle BI beans too (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bbi-beans/overview/oraclebibeanssod2008-129560.pdf).
What's the recommended technology for graphs/charts in Forms 11g?
Is it ADF DVT?
If yes, are there examples how to call them from Forms 11g?
=====
regards
Peter

Hello Shay,
thank you very much for the link.
I wonder if there any plans from Oracle to provide and support a DVT wrapper in next versions of Oracle Forms 11g
As the customer project is planned for Q2/2011 we still have some time and hope for this :-)

Peter

Is it Possible to connect oracle 10g with oracle forms 11g?

Hi,
I have installed Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 and Oracle 11g forms and reports....
My question is
Whether i can develop application using oracle forms 11g and using oracle 10g as backend connection......
If Possible then how to configure it......
Thanks.

That would depend on the exact version of Forms 11g you are referring to;
this document: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/forms/oracle-forms-111210certmatrix-1886127.xls
is for forms 11.1.2.1 and indicates database 10.2.0.4 is certified with this version of forms. For other Forms versions this might be different (I don't know as I didn't look it up).
You whould do the SQL*Net config like you'd do it on any other oracle client:
Tnsnames.ora - Oracle FAQ
Sqlnet.ora - Oracle FAQ
except for reports where in the opmn.xml the TNS_ADMIN variable is set for the reports servers; so you'd have to place your config files under $INSTANCE_HOME/config as well.
TNS ADMIN - Oracle FAQ

Using Mutliple Databases with Oracle Forms

Hi,
How do you force an Oracle Form (11gR2) to use a particular Database? Is this something you have to code inside the form, or can it be some kind of configuration parameter outside the form - i.e. I don't need to recompile the form everytime I want to point to a different database?
Is it possible to pass a parameter into the form via the form URL which can instruct it to use a certain database?
Any help is very very much appreciated.
Cheers.

You can pass the connectstring (userid=xyz/xyz@blabla), and forms logs on to this database. For obvious reasons I wouldn't want to pass in username/pass etc on the command line, however I'd like to pass in a variable which the form can then parse to determine which database to connect to. Is that possible?
>
I don't need to recompile the form everytime I want to point to a different database?that depends. if you are accessing your database objects qualified like
schema.procedure;
Luckily the schema names are the same across the multiple databases.
and the schema name differs from database to database you not only would need to recompile but do changes in the code.
Thanks.

Using Java Access bridge (Accessibility) with oracle forms 6.0 client

I'm trying to use JAB (java Access bridge ) to capture events in oracle forms 6.0 client .
I've a Jinitiator 1.1.8 and JRE version 1.4x
I've configured JAB as per the installation guide . However the events don't surface in Java Monkey .
Has anybody encountered similar issue ? what is the solution for the issue ??
Also on one of the forums I read Jinitiator 1.3x and above is automatically recognised by Java Access bridge .
For jinitiator version less than 1.3 manual configuration is required . however I haven;'t been able to find any on the oracle forms KB
Also here is the excerpt from the link http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/accessibility/faqs/index.html
Q: Are there special steps for using Java-based applications with assistive technology?
A: If the Oracle application is written in Java, such as JDeveloper or Oracle Forms (runtime), customers must first install the latest version of Sun's Java Access Bridge. The Java Access Bridge provides the integration with screen readers such as JAWS or SuperNova that support Java. You just download the Access Bridge and install it. Sun's AccessBridge 2.0x recognizes Oracle's JInitiator 1.3x and above so no manual configuration steps are necessary. The Access Bridge is available from: http://java.sun.com/products/accessbridge. At the time this document was written, Access Bridge 2.0.1 is the most current publicly available production release; Oracle recommends upgrading to this version. Sun's AccessBridge is bundled with Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) and can be found in the Java Runtime Engine (JRE). More information for configuring such products is in the respective product documentation, or on http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/accessibility/products/index.html.

Problem using views containing xpath expressions with Oracle Forms

Mark,
Nice to see you back on the forum answering questions.
This example is based on the standard purchaseorder schema.
i registered the schema, created a relational table and then created
a view using xpath.everything works well and i am able to select the data
using sql*plus. Now this views is like any other view, when i describe the
view, i can see the all the data types are valid for the columns and also the lengths.
Now when i try to base a data block in oracle forms using this view, i get error
"ORA-24324 - service handle not initialized."
Whereas if i create another view on top of the first view and then base the data block on this view, it works for me. i described the second view from sql*plus and everything seems to be same for me.
this is the same behaviour from database 9i r2 and it exists in 10g r1 also.
Any hints as what might be the problem or you would like me to file a tar for this.
create or replace view purchaseorder_header_xml
as
select id
       ,extractvalue(xml_data, '/PurchaseOrder/Reference') reference
       ,extractvalue(xml_data, '/PurchaseOrder/Requestor') requestor
       ,extractvalue(xml_data, '/PurchaseOrder/User')      po_user
       ,extractvalue(xml_data, '/PurchaseOrder/CostCenter') costcenter
       ,extractvalue(xml_data, '/PurchaseOrder/SpecialInstructions') spl_instructions
from tab_xmldata
create or replace view purchaseorder_header
as select * from purchaseorder_header_xml
/Raghu

Not used Forms for years. However I suspect that Forms is trying to poke around behind the view and not understanding what it sees. I expect you'll need to open a Forms Tar to get to the bottom of this. It also appears that you a workaround which is to create a view on the view by the sound of it..

Mixing Java with Oracle Forms 11g

What's going on is I wrote a program for work that allows the user to upload a document from their computer onto the database and then download it back later. Now I have to take that and integrate it into a button in Oracle Forms because our actual program runs from Forms. I imported the jar into the form and wrote a button with code I found online (modified slightly for my own use of course):
DECLARE
     jo ora_java.jobject;
     rv varchar(100);
     ex ora_java.jobject;
BEGIN
     JO := Upload.new;
     RV := Upload.startUploadPage(JO);
EXCEPTION
     WHEN ORA_JAVA.JAVA_ERROR then
          message('Unable to load Upload page, ' || ORA_JAVA.LAST_ERROR);
     WHEN ORA_JAVA.EXCEPTION_THROWN then
          ex := ORA_JAVA.LAST_EXCEPTION;
          message('Java Error');
END;
but when I tried to compile it I got:
Error 306 at line 8, column 8
wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'STARTUPLOADPAGE'
the java method that is supposed to be called here is:
public static String StartUploadPage() {
new Upload();
return Upload.StartUploadPage();
I did get from someone that apparently as written my code wont work anyway because apparently the jar importer in Forms doesnt transfer UI (ie Java Swing) and that in order to get the UI to transfer I would have to write a JavaBean on top of my code... but 1 I have no clue what a JavaBean is and the research I have done so far about it has just confused me more... and 2 I'm not sure what that has to do with the error considering that the method that is supposed to be being called by the line that threw the error doesn't have any JFrames or Java Swing of any kind connected to it... there is a tiny bit of Swing in the class to open up the first form that has the buttons for upload and download in it but that is all. I have 4 classes in that jar... 3 are the various Java Swing pages and have the absolute minimum logic in them possible... and the 4th one is the one that starts everything going, has the main class, and any serious logic that needs to be done the needed values are passed to that class and that class does all the work... that 4th class is the one that is being called in the PL/SQL. If it isnt any trouble could I maybe get a little help from someone on:
1. How to write a JavaBean to allow my program to work the way it is supposed to in Forms and
2. Why I am getting this error and how to make it go away

Simplemente deberias utilizar la webutil, no hace falta programar nada nuevo, con la webutil puede transferir de un puesto cliente a la database, o viceversa.

How to define the tab space in the PL/SQL editor with Oracle Forms 4.5?

When I use the PL/SQL editor with Oracle Form Builder, I found the tab space is very long that affects my programs readability quite a lot. Then, I tried to use Textpad to type my program. It looks fine with Textpad. However, when i tried to 'cut and paste' my code back to the PL/SQL editor, all tab spaces (approx. 8-character) are detected and the program looks awful again ~~ Would any one help me to solve my mentioned problem?
Thanks for any advices!

In 4.5 you cannot change this. In Forms 5.0 and above there is a registry value DE_PREFS_TABSIZE which allows you to set a value for the tabsize.

Connecting user Oracle 10g to oracle Forms 11g

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.

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

Oracle Reports In Oracle Forms 11g Parameter problem.

Hello techies,
            I am using Weblogic server 10.3.5 with oracle forms 11g at windows 7.I have a report that is Bar_code.rdf.It has two parameters as:
P_1---->character type---->accepts the options(barcode generated or barcode not generated)
P_2---->Number type------->accepts the subgroupitemId.
This report is well working with oracle report builder. Now I tried to run it from my oracle forms.It runs but it does not accept Parameter P_2. I have used
sParms := 'P_1='||:L_BAR||' P_2='||TO_NUMBER(:TXT_ITM_GRP);
set_report_object_property(roRepid,report_other,sParms||' paramform=yes');
set_report_object_property(roRepid,REPORT_SERVER,sReportServer);
v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(roRepid);
sJob := SUBSTR(v_rep,LENGTH(sReportServer)+2);   --
But there is a parameter form is shown but when i click submmit query the,,,,there is
Error 500--Internal Server Error
From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:

please give me the solution
thank you

hope this helpful for you.

Is Oracle database Compatible with Times Ten database?

Hello All,
I need to use a temporary database in Oracle for some months.
Later on, I will need to migrate all data to a Times Ten database.
1. My doubt is if Oracle and Times Ten databases are compatible with
each other (specially when having this kind of cases) ?
2. In case the answer is YES to question 1, I would like to know if there are some
restrictions in that compatibility (type of data, any other issue, etc)
Best Regards
Rubén

Ruben,
There are two areas you shoul look into regarding your project: SQL functionality and data types. TimesTen 6.0 supports a subset of the SQL features and data types currently available in the Oracle DB; also, TimesTen supports some native numberic data types that are not available in the Oracle DB.
If your end-game is to use the TimesTen database, then I would start with the TimesTen API and SQL Reference Guide (http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/timesten_doc.html)
Use the SQL functionality documented for TimesTen and pay attention to the common data types. For example, VARCHAR is handled differently from VARCHAR2 (where trailing spaces exist), DATE and Timestamp are handled differently, etc. Additionally, keep in mind most numeric values are declared using NUMBER in the Oracle DB, but not in TimesTen.
If you are an existing TimesTen licensed customer, please let us know your support ID(CSI) and we can contact you with more information on our future release plan to address SQL and data types compatibility.
By the way, what's the timeline for your project?

CONNECTING ORACLE 9I OR 10G DATABASE WITH ORACLE 10G FORMS AND REPORTS

pls tell how to connect oracle 9i or 10g database with oracle developer suite 10g . though the forms are getting connected but not running with error as
FRM-10142 the HTTP listner is not running on pls start the listner or check your runtime preferences.
now pls tell how to start listner and how to chage runtime preferences.
though i have worked with oracle 9i and forms 6i where we used to copy the tnsnames.ora from network/admin of oracle to forms 6i tnsnames.ora.
thank you, you may be thinking such a long question.....

sir
By server i mean the computer where oc4j and backend database are running is one one of the client pc not a dedicated server..., these database and 10g dev suite are installed in one of the client machine,
all the clients are using same internet explorer as browser.
no message is being displyed on some of the client machine where these forms are not being uploaded on browser instead it displays as done in status bar without actually showing anything at all...
sir so far as jinitiator or JRE is concered i have seen on the client machine (where my forms are running on internet explorer) a pop up is displyed telling one activex control is required to run this program and click to install it..
after clicking it download jinitiator from server and after installing jinitiator my forms are loaded and start functioning...
what i feel is as i said this machine where oc4j and database is running is one of the client machine so some other clients do not have acess to this machine, so this might be the reason why those clints are not able to run the said forms on the internet explorer.... can it be so... kindly tell..
thank you for your patience for reading the question
