Using API Functions on Forms 6

Does anyone know how to change the mouse cursor to a handpoint?
I can't use set_application_property because
it only supports BUSY, CROSSHAIR, DEFAULT, HELP, and INSERTION.
I am trying to use win_api_session.change_cursor, but get an internal PL/SQL error when the trigger fires.
Help?

if you are using 6i, make sure you attached the d2kwutil.pll and also make sure the d2kwut60.dll is in the same directory of the d2kwutil.pll directory. Although, some developer say that this dll can put in the windows/system dir, but it seem not working for my case.
BTW, u can add an entry as D2KWUTIL_PATH to the registry to specify the location of the pll and dll.
good luck.

Using WIN_API_ENVIRONMENT functions in forms 6i

I converted my forms from Developper 2.1 to Developper 6i. I was able to read the registry variables using WIN_API_ENVIRONMENT functions to open the explorer or Acrobat reader. With Forms 6i, I am getting the following error : "Internal error : PL/SQL error occured".
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
D2KWUTIL utility is available with Forms 5.0 also. The detailed information about all the functions are available in online help. There is a demo file also, which demonstartes all the D2KUTIL functions.
You can also download the D2KWUTIL from the following FTP site,

How to use COALESCE function in Forms 6i?

Hi folks,
Please help me out in using function COALESCE in the forms 6i (front-end code).
My front-end application has got Oracle9i as back-end. At the database server side, in SQl * Plus, the function is executing perfectly but not in Forms6i.
Please help me out with you suggestions.
Your favour will be deeply appreciated.
Cheers, PCZ.

This is a PL/SQL equivalent to the COALESCE function:
CREATE OR REPLACE function F_Coalesce
    PC$List IN VARCHAR2,
    PC$Sep   IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT ','
) Return Varchar2
Is
-- PL/SQL function that return the first non-null value
-- (equivalent to COALESCE SQL function)
LC$String VARCHAR2(32767) := PC$Sep || PC$List ;
LI$i      PLS_INTEGER ;
LI$i2     PLS_INTEGER ;
LC$Value VARCHAR2(4000) ;
LN$Pos    PLS_INTEGER := 1 ;
BEGIN
LI$i := INSTR( LC$String, PC$Sep, 1, LN$Pos ) ;
While LI$i > 0 Loop
    LI$i2 := INSTR( LC$String, PC$Sep, 1, LN$Pos + 1) ;
    IF LI$i2 = 0 Then LI$i2 := LENGTH( LC$String ) + 1 ; END IF ;
    LC$Value := SUBSTR( LC$String, LI$i+1, LI$i2 - LI$i-1 ) ;
     If LC$Value IS NOT NULL Then
         Return LC$Value ; -- return the first non-null value
     End if ;
     LN$Pos := LN$Pos + 1 ;
     LI$i := INSTR( LC$String, PC$Sep, 1, LN$Pos ) ;
End loop ;
Return Null ;
End ;

Hi,
In Shipping transaction form If the shipping quantity is more than ATR quantity then I have to show a message box.
I created a DB function using inv_quantity_tree_pub.query_quantities API to get ATR quantity. for this function item number and organization code is the two in parameters and it returns ATR quantity.
I used this function in forms personalization.
Trigger Event - WHEN-VALIDATE-RECORD
Trigger Object - DVLB
Condition - :DLVB.SHIPPED_QUANTITY<= ATR_QTY(:DLVB.ITEM_NAME,:DLVB.ORGANIZATION_CODE)
Processing Mode - Both
Level - Responsibility
Message - Shipping quantity is more than ATR quantity.
I created the above but it is not showing any message or error. I don't know what I missed.
Thanks in advace for your help.

Error while signing a document using API

Hello. I'm using API functions to add a digital signature to a PDF document. While signing this document, I receive an error which looks like:
com.adobe.livecycle.signatures.client.types.exceptions.PDFOperationException: ALC-DSS-303-001 Could not sign Signature Field MyField (in the operation : sign)
Caused By: ALC-DSS-303-014 Subject name and the subject alt name missing. (in the operation : getSignerName)
My source code is a straight copy/paste from the SDK Help. I can successfully add an unsigned signature field using API call, but I can't sign it. I can also sign my document manually from Adobe Acrobat Professional using the same certificate.
I'm new in LiveCycle and digital signatures, so it might be some obvious reason that I just can't detect now.
Could anyone help me, please?

you can mail me directly to [email protected], and I'll try to help.

How to use a function PIPELINED in Forms 10g?

You can't. One option would be to wrap your pipelined function in a view, or you could write a stored procedure which returns a strong ref cursor instead.

How to get the identity claim encoding types of windows and forms authentication providers using API?

Hi,
We have to get all the claims providers associated with a web application and its identity claim encoding type using API.
For example:
If the identity claim of windows authentication is user name and the user name is a string, then we should get
"i:0#.w".
If the identity claim of forms authentication is
email and the provider name is "fba" , then we should get "i:0!.f|fba|".
The below link shows us to get all claims providers associated with a web application, but how do we get the identity claim encoding type of each provider?
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg650432(v=office.14).aspx#SP_WCP_Tip3
using (SPSite theSite = new SPSite("http://someContosoUrl"))
// Get the web application.
    SPWebApplication wa = theSite.WebApplication;
    // Get the zone for the site.
    SPUrlZone theZone = theSite.Zone;
    // Get the settings that are associated with the zone.
    SPIisSettings theSettings = wa.GetIisSettingsWithFallback(theZone);
  // Get the list of authentication providers that are associated with the zone.
    foreach (SPAuthenticationProvider prov in
        theSettings.ClaimsAuthenticationProviders)
    {   // Need to get the identity claims encoding type using the SPAuthenticationProvider
Is windows authentication's identity claim encoding type always i.0#.w or the identity claim is always the user name?
Thanks & Regards,
Kalai.

If the requirement is to be able to convert claim identities to windows identities that can be used with other LOB/legacy application that still relies on NTLM/Windows Auth, then I would recommend to explore C2WTS.

You can try creating a wrapper database procedure for this and call the procedure

Api Function to list port in use

Hi!I'm looking for an Api Function to list a ports in use in a Essbase Serve.

Although there is currently no Api function to check the ports in use, if you are using Essbase 6.5 there are a couple other methods that could be used. (Might work in 6.2 but I didn't check).Check out the following functions in Maxl:- display system- display session all "Display system" displays how many ports are available - if you know how many you have then you know how many are in use. "Display session all" displays the users and their tcpip address - allowing you to determine the number of ports in by counting the number of unique user id + tcpip addresses. A worse case scenario to capture this information would be a program that runs the Maxl script to output a file that is then parsed.Hope this helps,- Jay---------------------------Jay NishSenior Business Intelligence ConsultantClarity SystemsEmail: [email protected]: www.claritysystems.com

Follow the OTL api guide and check your code. If your code is proper, timecard should get updated properly.

How to use PSA api functions RSAR_ODS_API_GET

Hi everybody
I need to call function module RSAR_ODS_API_GET. It recive an internal table with request ids and should return in E_T_DATA "unstructured" data from the psa and in E_T_RSFIELDTXT the description of the data structure, I guess
from sap help only thing I have reggarding how to use the function module is :
"You can call up the function module RSAR_ODS_API_GET with the list of request IDs given by the function module RSSM_API_REQUEST_GET. The function module RSAR_ODS_API_GET no longer recognizes InfoSources on the interface, rather it recognizes the request IDs instead. With the parameter I_T_SELECTIONS, you can restrict reading data records in the PSA table with reference to the fields of the transfer structure. In your program, the selections are filled and transferred to the parameter I_T_SELECTIONS.
The import parameter causes the function module to output the data records in the parameter E_T_DATA. Data output is unstructured, since the function module RSAR_ODS_API_GET works generically, and therefore does not recognize the specific structure of the PSA. You can find information on the field in the PSA table using the parameter E_T_RSFIELDTXT."
unfortunately I when running de report bellow, I get a dump which says:
Function parameter "E_DATA" is unknown
in the definition of the interface E_DATA has no type, which means it can recive any table type, right?
So I have two questions?
1) How to get the code working
2) How do I use the parameter E_T_RSFIELDTXT to parse the data returned in E_DATA
I tried test the function with tc se37 but I get a short dump as well (diferent message although).
by debuging RSSM_API_REQUEST_GET for this code I found it try to put an internal table with the struct of the database table /BIC/B0000151000 in E_DATA
Thanks a lot for any help

To format an Excel worksheet invoked by oracle form using DDE functions

I'm exporting data from oracle form6 into excel sheet using DDE functions.
Is there any DDE functions to format the excel sheet.

Maybe you can use format commands through DDE (if the DDE server suports them) but I personally don't know.
My approach is to record an excel macro which formats your sheet and then invoke the macro through DDE. You can fill cells with control numbers (like number of rows, number of cells) so you can make your macro even smarter by reading these numbers.
