Using forms to gate content

I've recently had a request to create landing pages to support various leasing programs that my company represents. The landing pages would contain rate factor information, which is potentially sensitive information, especially where competitors are concerned. The programs all have different tolerances for sharing rate information - some don't consider it a risk while others do.
One solution we are considering is to simply gate the rate information with a form. The user would provide some basic information, submit, and proceed to a landing page containing the rates.
The concern is, a user might be able to get directly to the landing page, circumnavigating the form (eg - someone shares the link to the rate page directly, rather than the link that comes before it containing the form). What safeguards could we put in place to minimize that risk?

The easiest way to is to host the content on the "Confirmation Pages" Microsite in Eloqua. Landing pages on the Confirmation Pages do not have static URLs and can only be accessed through the "Redirect to Webpage" processing step on an Eloqua form.

Does anyone else use a PDF form to extract data they can then use to populate Dynamic Content in Ill

Does anyone else use a PDF form to extract data they can then use to populate Dynamic Content in Illustrator?

You can connect the form to the DB using anODBC connection. This functionality comes as part of Acrobat but the form must be Reader Extended by the full LiveCycle Server version of Reader Extension to allow this in Reader. In your case, if your system is the only on ethat will interact with the DB then this might be a viable solution (but you woudl have to use Acrobat). This solution woudl involve create an ODBC connection in your system then configuring the form to make use of that connection.
Does that make sense?

    <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.

Using Forms in Numbers for iPad

Although Forms for the iPad may seem to be a great interface between the user and the spreadsheet, it has a few significant drawbacks under it's present design.
When using predefined records and catagories to prompt a user for input, one runs into problems when the user inadvertantly presses the delete key (within the form). This would delete a predefined record and thus rendering it usesless for any further input, and subsequent deletions would eventually delete all the predefined records.
As a workaround I re-arranged the input table to have one record only, using the categories (table columns) to input the relevant information via Pop-up Menus. Although this single record remains after pushing the delete button, the information within the record is somehow corupted, causing reference problems down the line. For instance, using the content of these records with the VLOOKUP function to find data within other tables, a #REF! error is caused because the relevant record was corrupted.
How could I disable the delete key within Forms, or alternatively save the data from deletion within the records?
Is there perhaps a way of error trapping within VLOOKUP ?
As an alternative, I tried a normal table to input the user information, and where I used Pop-up Menus it's was fine, but when inputing numeric values it would be a pain for the user to have to double tap with every numeric input. I would prefer to use Forms if possible.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks
André

I have submitted an enhancement request via Apple's iPad feedback and hoping that future versions of Numbers for iPad would have the ability to password protect table cells, and also have the abilty to disable the delete function within Forms.
Would appreciate any further halp on a possble workaround in the mean time.
Thanks

InfoPath and SDP not allowed: Use Form or document to solve requirements?

Dear all
I work in a company which has supplied SharePoint 2007 with limited user rights on operational level:
No use of SharePoint Designer, InfoPath, VisualStudio.
But we can customize SharePoint sites with administrator rights.
My department intends to facilitate a site to work with forms or documents.
Scope: 1000 items per year, 20 fields per item.
From my point of view I can see 2 possible scenarios:
Scenario 1
Create List
Create Form
Customize Form (possible? See above for limited rights)
Use form to edit, view and print
Scenario 2
Create content types
Create document library
Create Word template
Link Template to content types and library and create a new document per item
Use Word document to edit, view and print
Could you please be so kind and point out the pros and cons?
I’ll be glad to provide additional information if needed.
Thank you for your support
Frank

Hello Inderjeet
Thank you for your fast reply.
Concerning your 2nd sentence:
Do I get you right that upgrade is simple because data is managed via content types?
Best regards
Frank

Help - using Form Servlet (6i)

Hi All,
been trying to configure the forms listener servlet based on the white paper.
When I opened the http://myserver/servlet/f60servlet, it showed the following messages:
"Oracle Forms 6i Servlets
The Forms Listener servlet is up and running.
The servlet administration page has been moved to"f60servlet/admin", where "f60servlet" is the alias you defined for the Forms Servlet (class oracle.forms.servlet.FormsServlet) ... etc.."
Then, if I tried to open my simple application with only one form as follows:
http://myserver/servlet/f60servlet?config=test
the webpage still showed the above messages.
Previously I could run this app using forms CGI: http://myserver/cgi-bin/ifcgi60.exe?config=test
How to solve the problem?
Thanks
Rgds

The code fragment below shows how to send a POST method to a servlet URL.
Write down this code in ur first servlet. to post data to some servlet in other application
// connect to the servlet
String location = "http://www.foo.com/servlet/servlet2";
URL testServlet = new URL( servletLocation );

// inform the connection that we will send output and accept input
servletConnection.setDoInput(true);
servletConnection.setDoOutput(true);
// Don't use a cached version of URL connection.
servletConnection.setUseCaches (false);
servletConnection.setDefaultUseCaches (false);
// Specify the content type that we will send binary data
servletConnection.setRequestProperty

// get input and output streams on servlet
// send your data to the servlet

I have re-opened this bug as I am still able to reproduce the problem with
Designer 6i Release 2.
Test case is Headstart Demo application form HSD0016F.
I noticed that when you generated the form above, you did not use the
Headstart object library, but used the Designer object library instead.
Could you try generating the form using the Headstart object library and
template package.
The version of headstart you have has the workaround in place in this form.
Therefore, you will need to edit the module before you generate it.
In the module componenet EMP, change the Placement property from New Tab
Canvas Page to New Content Canvas.
(Due to another bug, you should also blank out the height on all displayed
columns of type date or datetime in all 3 module components.)
Generate the module.
I get the following results:

I have finally been able to pin down why this is happening with Headstart
generated applications and not with applications using the default Designer
object library.
In our object library, the standard source object CGSO$BLOCK has a number of
block level triggers, and one item. These are standard and need to be on
every 'normal' block generated with Headstart.
However, this makes it impossible to generate a form with block 1 on the
content canvas followed by 2 or more blocks on tabbed canvases on the same
page.
If I remove the block level triggers and item, I can generate this form
(though of course this is useless to me because I lose all Headstart
functionality).
Furthermore, if I try to explicitly direct Designer to use another object from
the object library, by recoding a Template/Library Object on the module
components, the form generator ignores this and uses CGSO$BLOCK anyway.
Suggested workaround:
- copy qmsolm65.fmb and qmsolb65.olb to another name (e.g. qmswrkrn.fmb and
qmswrkrnd.olb
- in qmswrkrn.fmb add a new block, qmsso$save_triggers. Make this block an
exact copy of cgso$block including triggers and item.
- change the blocks that used to subclass from cgso$block to now subclass from
qmsso$save_triggers
- in cgso$block, remove the triggers and item
- generate the qmswrkrnd.olb object library
- for each module in Designer that requires the blocks on tab layout, go to
the form level preferences and set the standard object library to qmswrkrn.olb
- generate the form(s)
- do a post-generation modification to subclass the data blocks from the
qmsso$save_triggers block
I'm glad to see you've raised the Development Priority to 1. This is probably
the single most popular layout for a master with multiple details, and it is
really crippling not to be able to generate this layout. We are already
getting complaints from our beta clients.
Just a reminder, you can duplicate this bug using the Headstart demo
application form hsd0016f. You must change module component EMP to use layout
style 'New Content Canvas'. (It is currently set to New Tab Page.) You must
also be sure to use the Headstart object library and template form when you
generate.
*** 01/25/01 07:05 am ***
Found a much simpler workaround! In object library maintenance form
qmsolm65.fmb, set Visible property of cgso$block.qms$block_info to Yes. Then
re-create qmsolb65.olb object libary. Form will now generate.
Since this is the second problem we have found in Headstart related to having
a hidden item in cgso$block, for Headstart 6i I am eliminating this item.
In the meantime, use this workaround for Headstart 6i beta and for Patch 13.

How to use form components in canvas

Hai folks
Im bit cofused here. Some say that v can use forms in canvas and some say cant. Im in a hurry in developing a real time appln. Please any one come up with a solution. Is it difficult to use J2ME Polish.

Hi,
the installer jar is a jar file that needs to be un-jarred, usually by double clicking the jar file. Once you (install) un-jar the
1) For example, if you download the latest solutions catalog from
https://blueprints.dev.java.net/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=4144&expandFolder=4144&folderID=0
you will download bpcatalog-ee5-ea-0.6-installer.jar
2) then you have to install/unjar it
To Install: Double-click the jar file bpcatalog-ee5-ea-0.6-installer.jar, or run 'java -jar bpcatalog-ee5-ea-0.6-installer.jar'
3)This creates a folder bpcatalog-ee5-ea-0.6/ which has the contents of the blueprints solutions catalog, including the JSF component libraries.
4) then if you want to use a JSF component library such as bp-ui-14.jar which contains the calendar component, then move/copy the bp-ui-14.jar to your application that you want to us it in.
Then you use it like any JSF component library (see the links I put on previous posting if need more detail on that)
I think the confusion you were having is that you were using the installation jar bpcatalog-1.0.1_01-installer.jar instead of the JSF component library bp-ui-14.jar in your app?

Sean

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)

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..
