Using Close_Form built-in (Forms 6.0)

I'm experimenting with creating a dialogue controlled within the same session. Essentially I want to create an environment where a user can open numerous forms (i.e. where form A calls form B and form B calls form C) from a head form (form A), while still allowing the user to navigate inbetween all forms and not open duplicate instances of the same form. I'm running into a problem because I want the user to be able to close all child (called) forms from a calling form (i.e. form C closes when a user exits form B). The issue is, using the Close_Form built-in causes a Full Rollback within the session. Hence, if form B calls form C, and C calls form D, exiting form C rolls back data in form B.

I'm generating forms using Oracle Developer 6.0 > Form Builder.
I implemented your previous suggestion, unfortunatelyl to no avail. What's the difference between the default savepoint setting in Oracle and when I set a savepoint?
I feel like the Close_Form built-in should have another parameter regarding the savepoint issue.

Do I need to use Business Catalyst to use the built-in forms?

I use FTP voyager to host my website. I have a contact form on my website, when I fill out the form this dialog box appears: "This standard HTML form is configured to work with Adobe Business Catalyst". Once I click OK I then get the message the from has been sent and recieved, I check my email and I have not recieved an email.
Can somebody please tell me if there is something I need to do to overcome this issue, or do forms not work unless you are using Buinsess Catalyst?

I'm sorry. At this time, contact forms only work using Business Catalyst. Please see this forum thread for more info:

Submitting a form using Adobes built in submit button

Hello All,
I have created a form in Acrobat XI Pro and use the built in distribute wizard
Adobe opens up and asks for the email to send the forms to.
This works fine.
When the user fills the form and press the Adobe submit button, (not the one you add to a form) how can I indicate to the user the button was pressed!
Thanks

Is there any way after pressing the submit button i can set a flag or message?

Is it possible to override built-in forms procedures like call_form?

hi, is it possible to override built-in forms procedures like call_form? i want to override an existing built-in procedure so i don't need to change all my .fmbs. thanks in advice

Hi,
You cannot override them. However, you can create a procedure within the package with the name call_form and use it as package_name.call_form instead of call_form (use the search and replace functionality to replace the call_form with package_name.call_form).

I need help using SSO (built in)

Hi folks,
I'ld like to use the built in SSO of Sun App Server 7 for my intranet, which consists of two applications App-A and App-B. App-A is the main application (intranet), from where App-B (CMS) can be invoked.
Both applications are secured bei FORM based authentication.
SSO seemed to work fine for this applications first, BUT than I had to learn, that it App-A looses it's session middle in the work, sometimes. Investigating into this behavior I found out, that this happens only and always, when App-B (CMS) has been used before.
In this case App-B is running into a timeout, after a while (30 min.). This is o.k. so far and what I expected. BUT, I did not expect, that the timeout of App-B also destroyes session of App-A, regardless that I continue to use App-A.
In my real szenario this means, that users of my intranet (App-A) always loose their session half an our after using CMS (App-B), even if the continue to use intranet!
The worst case is, if they use CMS, close it than and open a second CMS session, after a while.
If they do this, before the first CMS-session times out, the second CMS session is killed shortly after starting it and middle in the work (together with the intranet, of course). Of course entered data is lost, than.
This is not what I expect from a usefull SSO feature und makes it almost useless for me.
I cannot believe, that this is o.k. and that nobody else got problems with this behavior.
Does anybody know this behavior? If yes, how do you deal with this?
Best regards,
Harald

Bluetooth and WiFi are two different, unrelated radio technologies. Bluetooth is used to connect to wireless keyboards, mouses, cell phones etc. You want to look at your 802.11 g (or b or n) wireless to find other computers or routers. The icon symbol for that looks different.
Go to System Prefs/Network/ and click on Airport. then check the little box to "Show Airport status in menu bar".

Is it possible to use alter sessin at forms button or procedure ?

Hi, mates,
I want to use alter session at forms, possible in button. does it possible ? if yes, what i have to write ?

Hi,
You can use alter session commands from form / Reports. And What I have to Write means what? what is your requirement?
You can use FORMS_DDL built in to write those commands.

Problem with using run_report built-in in t-tier environment

I use this built-in in C.S. and it works just fine, but when I published my reports under web I got the next error: " invalid report id" also I typed the name of reports server in form's properties of the report.
Any recommendations? Forms 6i patch2.
Thanks for cooperation.

Andrew,
the report_id is the one that you find when looking for the Forms report node. So I assume that in your PL/SQl code for some reason you use a report id that does not exist. If it is the reports job_id that is not correct, then this id gets generated as the result of the RUN_REPORT_OBJECT() command. You may want to print out both to check their value - 0 is not a vaild ID and is reveived whenever something goes wrong.
Check if the Reports Server that you defined in teh tnsnames is accessible by usingteh Reports Queuemanager, If teh Queuemanager can't access teh Reports Server, then this is where you can start to track down the problem.
regards
Frank
Ps.: The Reports Server name in the Reports Object property does not need to be a trues server if the name of the server to use is set using SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(<id>,REPORT_SERVER,'<name'>). But the property at least must contain some dummy name.

WHY - give workable examples of using JHeadstart to convert forms into ADF.

Why give examples of how to use JHeadStart to convert forms in to ADF, but not allow it to be done with the evaluation version ... I assume it was possible with the 10g versions. Is it broken in 11g.
I was lookig to build a case for migrating an oracle forms application to Oracle Java and not a IBM or JBOSS or even .Net application, I can't build that case now, I have no budget to engage Oracle, have to do this of my own bat. Company has been take over by bigger company that has IBM stack.
Is Oracle this follish to allow the smaller users of Oralce to go by the way side, be lost to other languages etc

We deliberately did not include the Forms2ADFGenerator in the evaluation version.
Modernizing your forms application, possibly migrating it to ADF is a considerable effort that is often underestimated.
Migration tools like the Forms2ADFGenerator can help to a certain extent but are by no means a magic bullet. This is something we cannot stress enough, as over and over again we see people who think migration tools can make the difference. They cannot.
If you want to make a choice of development environment to modernize your forms application, then the availability of a migration tool should not play a role!
It is a fundamental and strategic decision to go for Oracle ADF which should not be influenced by a minor time saver like a migration tool.
To decide on the use of JHeadstart, the evaluation version with the tutorial should be convincing enough.
The real power of Jheadstart is not in the Forms2ADF Generator, this tool is just a lbonus that can save you a bit of time.
Here is some more info:
When does JHeadstart Forms2ADF Generator save time
The amount of work that can be saved by using the JHeadstart Forms2ADF Generator (JFG) very much depends on the structure of the Oracle Forms application at hand. The JHeadstart Forms2ADF Generator provides most savings for forms that have the following characteristics:
* Standard-Forms data retrieval and data manipulation through blocks based on database tables, with master-detail relations defined between the block
* Complex user interface, many (stacked) canvasses, many tabs, many list of values, and other display types
* PL/SQL logic mostly limited to user interface dynamics: conditionally showing/hiding user interface items, and conditionally changing the properties of user interface items. While JHeadstart does not convert PL/SQL logic, this type of logic is easily implemented in the ADF application because JHeadstart provides many declarative property settings to implement this behavior.
PL.SQL Logic
JHeadstart has made the deliberate choice to not automatically convert the PL/SQL logic to Java. The reasons for this are:
* It is impossible to automate the migration of a two-tier architecture (logic in Forms or in the database) to a three tier Model-View-Controller architecture as is common in JEE web applications, including ADF-based applications.
* The architecture of the converted application should be identical to the best-practice architecture of an ADF application that is build from scratch. If the architecture is the same, the same skill set can be used to maintain both migrated applications and ADF applications build from scratch. In addition, by going for a best practice architecture, the application is more flexible, and can be maintained easier at lower cost.
* When using the JHeadstart Forms2ADF Generator, you get this best-practice ADF architecture that is identical to ADF/JHeadstart applications that are built from scratch.
Other Forms2ADF Considerations
And even if it turns out the JFG adds a lot of value, there are many other questions you should ask yourself before embarking on a Foms2ADF project.
For example:
* Apart from technical reasons like old Forms verisons no longer supported, are there real business reasons and business benefits for migrating that justify the migration effort?
* To what extent is the application still meeting functional requirements?
* Are there issues with stability and end user friendliness?
* Old forms applications are typical "window-on-data" screens, you see the structure of the datamodel through the layout of the screens. Modern web 2.0 composite applications are more task-oriented with good support for human workflow. You should consider to what extent it wants to leverage all these new user interfaces capabilities that come with ADF Faces and WebCenter.
* How does the application fits in the overall IT landscape? What interfaces to other systems exist, what (old/obsolete?) technology is used to implement those interfaces?
* What about batch functionality and reporting facilities?
* May be part of the functionality of the current system can be replaced with standard off-the-shelf software?
* How sound, well structured and future proof is the underlying datamodel?
* To what extent are you looking at service-orientated architectures? Whats the SOA maturity level of your organisation?
* Above questions help to answer the key question: how desirable and benficial is it to migrate an old monolitic forms application 1:1 to a monolitic ADF aplication? How does that fit in overall IT strategy?
* Organisational isues: who will migrate the system, who will maintain the system? Is outsourcing considered? etc.
Next Steps
We offer a Forms2ADF assessment service in which we migrate a number of sample forms selected by the customer to assess the added value of the JFG, and we discuss all of the above questions
For example, I did one Forms2ADF assessment where it turned out that JFG added litlle or no value, but we were still able to convince the customer of the combined power of ADF and JHeadstart in (re-)building ADF apps from scratch.

ADD_Group_Column Built -in Forms

Hi All,
Is there any restriction in the number of rows of records added to a Dynamic Record Group in Forms, using the built-in function ADD_Group_Column?
Thanks,
Gowri

I am puzzled by your question because you don't add rows to a group with this command. You add columns. What do you mean and why do you ask? What do you want to achieve or have you seen any problems with the call?
There are a few listed in the Help file:
ADD_GROUP_COLUMN Restrictions
--You must add columns to a group before adding rows. You cannot add a column to a group that already has rows; instead, delete the rows with DELETE_GROUP_ROW, then add the column.
--You can only add columns to a group after it is created with a call to CREATE_GROUP.
--If the column corresponds to a database column, the width of CHAR_COLUMN-typed columns cannot be less than the width of the corresponding database column.
--If the column corresponds to a database column, the width of CHAR_COLUMN-typed columns can be greater than the width of the corresponding database column.
--Only columns of type CHAR_COLUMN require the width parameter.
--Performance is affected if a record group has a large number of columns.
--There can only be one LONG column per record group.
--For additional information about data length semantics for columns and record groups, see Record Groups and Data Length Semantics.

Can we use the built-in Row fetch for Multiple reports in a page?

I need to create a page with multiple report regions. Each of it is based on a table. Those tables are different. I somewhat remembered that we can NOT use the built in automatic row fetch process if there are multiple report regions, neither the built in DML process. You have to make your own fetch and insert/update/delete process if you intend to.
Also if I write my own row fetch and update processes, do I have to consider lock mechnism? or just simply write select and insert/update?
Any input is appreciated.

I think I found the answer. Would Scott or other gurus take a look at the thread and confirm it, in case the limitation is not in 2.0?
Re: automatic row fetch
What I am concered about is that the locking mechanism. If I have to write my own process to fetch and insert/update, other than the regular select and insert/update statements, do I have to put commit by myself, or htmldb can handle it automatically? Is there an example for this?
Thanks in advance.

I can record voice memos fine using the built-in iPhone 4 mic. And my Bluetooth headset (Jawbone Era) works fine when I leave messages on voice mail systems etc. when calling on the iPhone 4. However, I cannot record voice memos with my Bluetooth mic.

I can record voice memos fine using the built-in iPhone 4 mic. And my Bluetooth headset (Jawbone Era) works fine when I leave messages on voice mail systems etc. when calling on the iPhone 4, so it appears my headset mic is fine. I can also use voice activated dialing, although it fails miserably interpreting numbers. However, I cannot record voice memos with my Bluetooth mic. I just get barely audible static. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Hello, did you ever get an answer to your question? I just picked up a Jawbone Era and using on an iPhone 4s running 5.0.1. Seems to work fine on regular calls, but not on the built in Voice memos application. It worked fine on my older Jawbone Icon, but haven't tested on the 4s or iOS 5.
Thanks!

There should have been a seventy page booklet in the box with your new iMac. If yours is the latest version, clicking here will download it if you cannot find the physical copy. If yours is an older iMac model, you can search for the correct manual from the iNtel iMac Support Page > "Manuals" link.
After that, Mac 101 is a great web-based information source. If you don't need general help, take a look here for specifics about each application of interest.
VortexBoy wrote: ... and the help menu comes up with nothing at all when I search for web cam, webcam or isight....
If your posted info is correct that you are running Mac OS X (10.7.3), you should be able to get started by using your Mac's Finder > Help menu command. Searching for "camera" (without quotation marks) on my 10.7.3 Mac returns Mac's Help article entitled "Use your Mac’s built-in camera." This is the web version of the same help.
Other apps, like QuickTime Player (the Lion QT 10.x version), and iMovie (part of iLife that came with your Mac) can also use your iMac's camera.
iMovie Help or this web page version of the same help will explain how to "Record video directly into iMovie".
Use QTX Player's File > New Movie Recording menu command to record video with it. You can configure size and quality of the recorded material by using QTX's preferences as shown in this image:
VortexBoy wrote: ... Where do I go to learn about how to use the built-in camera/web cam as a camera and also as a web cam? ...
Different apps do not all work the same. For function-specific help, search Help in separate camera applications; i.e., after you launch Photo Booth, iChat, QTX, iChat, etc., use the individual app's Help menu command to search for more info on the camera or what you want to do.
This article offers great basic tips about how to position, light, and use built-in cameras. Although its subject shows it was written for iMacs, it is equally applicable to other reader's inbuilt Apple cameras, too.
For more specialized functions than those offered by the camera software already included with your Mac, you can search the Mac App Store for other apps that can use your camera.
For webcam help with iChat, use Apple's iChat Support page if you need more help that that provided in the dialog boxes and iChat > Help on your Mac.
To use your camera with FaceTime, search your Mac's FaceTime > Help or these web versions of the same Help topics that should be available on your Mac.
Skype or other third party webcam apps will offer their own Help menus of varying quality. In additon to these app Help services, some apps offer comprehensive Support services via their web page. If you decide to add Skype to your Mac, you can click here to review the excellent Skype Support pages.
If you need to start a new topic for specific questions after you get started, give as much detail about what you want to do and what you may have already tried unsuccessfully. We will offer specific suggestions based on the details you provide.
Enjoy your new Mac!
