Using JDAPI without installing builder?

Hi,
Is there a way of using JDAPI (latest 10g) without installing Forms Builder on your host? I tried a zipped install from another host and setting various environment variables (PATH, ORACLE_HOME etc) and it picks up the dll:s (Windows machine) but the init still fails to create the forms context. Is there Windows registry readings involved when JDAPI is bootstrapped?

First, let me start by saying that there is no "support" way to make this work. Whether or not it can be done will depend on the amount of effort you are willing to put forth. Remember that the jdapi package is just a backdoor way of accessing features used by the Builder. In other words, it biggest part of the problem is how to get those features to work without a proper installation. If this is expected to be a one time thing and not a setup you likely will use again, my opinion is that it will be easier to just install the product then uninstall it when you are done.
That said, in order to make it work you will need much more than just the PATH and ORACLE_HOME. Off the top of my head, here are just a few of the environment variables that will be needed. These would be set in the shell (DOS) where you plan to run the jdapi from. This can also be done in a script file.
<blockquote>PATH
ORACLE_HOME
FORMS_PATH
FORMS
CLASSPATH (Should include references to frmjdapi.jar, frmall.jar, and numerous others. Refer to a proper installation for a complete list)
FORMS_BUILDER_CLASSPATH (depending on how long CLASSPATH becomes)
TNS_ADMIN (if a db connection is needed and not configured in the home)
TK (points to \tools\common This may not be needed depending on what you functionality you need)
VGS (points to \tools\common This may not be needed depending on what you functionality you need)
DE (points to \tools\common This may not be needed depending on what you functionality you need)</blockquote>
Again, this are just what it takes to make a Builder environment work properly. So exactly what you will need may vary depending on exactly your needs.
THIS IS NOT CONSIDERED A SUPPORTED METHOD FOR USING THE PRODUCT

  • Using SNMP without Agent

Solaris does ship with a SNMP Agent out-of-the-box... but it only monitors a limited number of things by default. Or, if you have M-series hardware their XSCF's come with SunMC preinstalled as well: you don't have to install it yourself (and SunMC uses SNMP).
    If you mean monitor Sun software like web or directory servers... some of the older versions of those packages did include SNMP support... but modern versions are moving to other protocols like JMX.
    In general, the best monitoring comes from installing some sort of local Agent, either SunMC, Ops Center, or one of the many tools from Oracle partners (like Halcyon, who I work for)

  • Is there possibility to use the front panel without installing Labview?

    Hallo,
    i have two small questions:
    1- Is it possible to use the front panel of a labview software without needing to install Labview itself? i mean something similar to the "power point viewer" which can view the Power Point files without installing the microsoft office.
    2- In an intensity Graph, how can one change the color?
    thanks.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi,
    Regarding your questions
    1)You need to have Labview and Application builder installed on your machine. If you have that you can make an stand alone application (EXE) and then you can deploy it on systems that does not have LabView and can view it, However you will not be able to see the block diagram.
    Here is a link that explains how to do so
    http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361A-01/lvhowto/exe_ex/
    2) You can either do it by using propery node or marker method. The following link explains it

  • Can we use BCS component  in ECC 6.0, without installing BI 7.0?

    We have a unique situation. We have planned to migrate from 4.6B to ECC 6.0. We have FI- LC and we want to move to SEM-BCS 6.0 in ECC 6.0, without installing separate BI (netweaver 2004s) instance. Is that possible? If possible, will there be any performance issues?  If we use BCS in ECC 6.0, does it eliminate the job of FS data extraction to BW-SEM?
    Do we need a separate BI system, which can also include SEM-BCS? What are the advantages?
    We look forward for advice.

    We found that without installing BI 7.0, BCS component (with its own internal BI) is working in ECC 6.0. In earlier ECC 5.0 or R/3, such facility was not available.
    My question is that "Is it good to use SEM-BCS with in ECC 6.0" or  "Is it better to have separate BI instance, which can include BCS" .  Either answer has to be supported with points. Appreciate any assistance.

  • How to restore from Time Machine WITHOUT install discs using a second Mac

    It's a question that is asked repeatedly all over the web by Mac users like me that bought in to Time Machine (TM) on the assumption that if their computer died one day it would be a piece of cake to restore from it, only for that day to come and then to be told "ahh, okay the first thing is to get your computers install discs..." (loud crashing sound of world falling around ears).
    I've never been able to afford a new Mac and both of my machines were bought second-hand. Neither came with Leopard (both have Tiger and have been upgraded to Leopard via the net). This was never supposed to be a problem as I've been backing up with TM. However it appears that Tiger discs are as much use as an inflatable dart board when it comes to using TM. So I've been faced with the possibility of having to spend £130 (about two hundred Pres Sheets, Yankees) on the Leopard install discs just so that I can have the option of restoring from TM. Bonkers.
    However after much nashing of teeth, a very long weekend learning all sorts of things about 'Target Mode', 'Single User Mode', 'Verbose Mode', 'Open Source 9' etc the following solution has worked without the need to go out and buy those over-priced discs...
    What you will need:
    1 broken Mac requiring restoration
    1 second donor Mac running Leopard (or Snow Leopard so long as the broken Mac can run it)
    1 firewire cable with the correct fitting at either end to attach both Macs together
    1 Time Machine backup
    Note: The following is for when you have given up trying to boot from your hard drive. In my case I couldn't boot in to Safe Mode etc. so was forced to format my drive and re-import everything. If you've read this far I'm assuming your at the same point as well and have tried everything else that's out there first.
    Also - both my Macs are Power PC's so can't run Snow Leopard, so I can't say 100% this will work with SL (Intel) machines. From what I've read Snow Leopard will work with this procedure too, but if you've found differently please feel free to add your experiences below...
    STEP ONE: Format the corrupt Hard Drive or replace with a fresh HDD
    *Link the two computers with a firewire.
    *If you're replacing your HDD, remove your corrupted hard drive from the 'broken' machine and insert a new one.
    *Power up the broken Mac whilst holding down the 'T' key. This will start it up in Target Mode and you'll get a nice firewire symbol floating around that machine's screen.
    *Power up the second 'healthy' Mac. This will be our 'donor' machine. When it starts up after a few seconds you will see the hard drive of the broken Mac appear on the donor Mac's desktop.
    *Using your donor Mac's 'Disc Utility', format the broken Mac's hard drive (now's the time to partition it etc. if you want to).
    STEP TWO: Clone your donor Mac
    Your broken Mac is no longer broken and now needs a new OS. But you don't have the discs, right? Well get this... you can clone your donor mac on to your machine, even if they are totally different i.e. a laptop on to a tower.
    *Again using Disc Utility, click on your donor Mac's hard drive. The restore tab appears as an option.
    *Click on restore and drag the donor Mac's hard drive that contains the operating system in to the Source box.
    *Drag the newly formatted hard drive on the broken Mac in to the Destination box.
    *Click restore. Your donor Mac's hard drive will now be 'cloned' on to your no-longer-broken Mac. Once this is done, eject the first Mac's hard drive from your donor Mac's desktop. You no longer need the donor Mac.
    Ta daa! Your machine now starts up happy and smily again. Time to restore all that stuff that's been sat on your Time Machine drive...
    STEP 3: Restore from Time Machine using Migration Assistant
    This is the really clever part that prompted me to write this piece in the first place. Time Machine IS accessible without those Leopard install discs you don't have. You need to use something called 'Migration Assistant'.
    *Start up your machine as normal and you'll see it is an exact clone of the donor machine. Weird huh?
    *Attach your Time Machine hard drive. It will show up as an icon on the desktop and because of it's size, you'll be asked if you want to use it as a Time Machine backup. Err, NO YOU DON'T! Click 'cancel'.
    *Open Migration Assistant (if you can't find it just type it in to Finder and click). There are three options, the middle one being to restore from TM or another disc. Yup, you want that one.
    *Migration Assistant will now ask you what you want to restore in stages, firstly User Accounts, then folders, Apps etc. It will even import internet settings
    And that's you done. Let Migration Assistant do it's thang... altogether I had about 140gb to restore, so it wasn't exactly speedy. This wasn't helped by the fact that my TM hard drive is connected via USB (yes, I know). Just leave it alone and it'll whirr happily away...
    Before I go - you don't have an option of when to restore from, and will restore from the last Time Machine save. At least then you should be able to access TM and go 'backwards' if you need to.
    Also - for a Mac expert, the above will be up there with 'Spot Goes To The Farm' in terms of complexity. However, for the rest of us the above is only available in fragments all over the net. By far the most common response to 'how do I restore from Time Machine without install discs' is 'you can't'. If I'd found the above information in one place I could have saved a lot of hair pulling and swearing over the last couple of days, so forgive me for sharing this workaround with the rest of the world. Meanwhile your expertise will come in very handy for the inevitable questions that will get posted below, so please feel free to help those people that won't be sure if this solution is the right one for them. I'm no expert, I just want to help people that were stuck in the same situation (and looking at the web, there's a LOT of them).
    Hope this is of use to someone, thanks and *good luck*!

    Most maintenance and repair, restore and install procedures require the use
    of the correct OS X install DVD; be it an original machine-specific restore/install
    disc set or a later retail non-specific general install disc set.
    By having an unsupported system, perhaps installed via an illegal download or
    other file-sharing scheme, where no retail official discs are involved and the
    initial upgrade was done by other means outside of the License Agreements,
    you are asking us to discuss a matter of illegal installation and use of a product.
    There are no legal complete OS X system download upgrades online; only bits
    that are update segments to a retail or as-shipped machine's original OS X install.
    +{Or an installation where a previous owner had correct retail upgrade discs, &+
    +chose to not include them with the re-sale of the computer it was installed in.}+
    However, to answer the initial question. To get and use an externally enclosed
    hard drive in suitable boot-capable housing, and get a free-running Clone
    Utility (download online; often a donation-ware product, runs free) you can
    make a bootable backup of everything in your computer to an external HDD.
    This is the way to make a complete backup to restore all functions to the computer.
    The Time Machine has some limits, in that it can restore only that which it saves.
    It does not make a bootable clone of your entire computer system with apps and
    your files, to an external drive device. A clone can. And some of the clone utility's
    settings can also backup changes to an external drive's system; if that other drive
    is attached to the computer correctly.
    Carbon Copy Cloner, from Bombich Software; and also SuperDuper, another of
    the most known software names you can download and use to clone boot-capable
    system backups of your computer's hard disk drive contents, are often cited.
    However you resolve the matter of the running OS X system in your computer,
    derived from what appears to be questionable means, is part of the initial issue.
    Since you do need to be able to fix an existing installation by unmounting the
    computer's hard disk drive and run the computer from the other (install disc or
    system clone) while it is Unmounted; and use the correct Disk Utility version to
    help diagnose and perhaps be able to fix it. You can't use a Tiger version Disk
    Utility to fix a Leopard installation, and so on.
    So, the situation and replies as far as they can go (since the matter does
    constitute an illegal system, if it was arrived at without correct discs) is a
    limited one. And file sharing of copied Mac OS X (and other) software is
    also considered illegal.
    And, one way to get odd malware and unusual stuff, is to get an unauthorized
    system upgrade from an illegal source online. You never know what's inside it.
    The other reply was not a personal attack; the matter is of legal status and as
    you have a product with a questionable system, the answer is to correct it.
    And if you want to save everything in your computer, make a clone to a suitable
    externally enclosed self-powered boot capable hard disk drive. With older PPC
    Macs, that would best be to one with FireWire and the Oxford-type control chips.
    However that works out...
    Good luck & happy computing!

Does anyone know if it's actually possible to uninstall Windows 8.1 and install Windows 7 using an external USB or external CD Rom Drive? Any help would be greatly appreciated. 
    The District is right to say what they told you they can't install Disctrict Windows 7 on your computer because they have a license agreements with MS and doing so will violate their Terms of Agreement. And you shouldn't be asking something like that to start with. If that laptop can't install Windows 7 it then your stuck with WIndows 8 unless HP has downgrade to go back to Windows 7 on it otherwise if none exist you will not get any drivers or support for it. You best luck is to find a used Windows 7 laptop and order the HP recovery media for it and wipe it clean to factory install and register it to you and that will give you a Windows 7 maching to start with.

    Due to some reason the boot camp 4.0.1 cannnot detect my usb drive (that contained windows 7), so thats why i use the rEFIt to boot from my usb drive

    Yes, you can.
    Let the BootCamp Assistant just make the partition and do not click on "Install Windows"-button.
    The result is a preformatted FAT32-partition on your Mac.

  • How do I install windows using BootCamp without cd drive fot the new MBP?

    I need some softwares for my work (modelsim, altera, ltspices etc) but some of them only supports windows.
    New MBP doesnt seem to have a cd driver.
    How do I install windows using bootcamp without cd drivers?

    You can use a USB thumbdrive to do this, assuming you have access to a windows machine to format the usb stick.
    I installed Win7 on my MB Air (2011), which of course lacks a DVD drive altogether, using this technique.
    Basically, you download a tool called rEFIt to your macbook. ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/refit/files/rEFIt/0.14/rEFIt-0.14.dmg/download ) When this is installed, it gives you a boot selector menu when you boot the Macbook ('Do you want to boot to MacOS or to the USB drive?')
    Then you download and run an Apple tool called Boot Camp Assistant, which allows you to partition your HD for the two operating systems to share; it also pulls down all the windows drivers you need.
    Then prep the USB thumbdrive on a windows machine to be a Win7 installer disk. You'll want a drive in the 4gb+ range I think. You have to set up the thumbdrive to be bootable (lots of tools for that available), and then copy all the windows installation files over to it.
    Put the thumbdrive in the macbook and boot holding down the option key.
    Choose the rEFIt icon on boot, then choose to boot from the thumbdrive, then format your new windows partition to something Win7 can handle, and install windows.
    On my machine I followed a slightly more involved process and wiped out MacOS entirely. I would have kept it on a small partition if I'd had a bigger hard drive.

  • Use Nexus Personal ("BankID") with Firefox without installing it

    I will describe how to utilize Nexus Personal as a plugin for Firefox without installing the package from AUR or running the installation script that comes with the program.
    And why would I do that? Firstly; the root partition on the system that I use has very limited space. If the files that are used for Nexus Personal are located elsewhere (like my home folder, on another harddrive) it will free up some valuable space. Secondly; to keep an record of the procedure. If I ever must repeat the process I can check back at this reference. Thirdly; upgrading should be trivial and just a matter of copying the new version of the program to a certain folder. Lastly; maybe someone else might also benefit from this.
    Download and unpack the files and place the folder where you want the program to be (e.g. /home/kalle/Applications/nexus/)¹. Make sure that the files persadm and personal.bin have permission to be executed.
    Let Firefox know where the plugin is located by creating a symbolic link in the Firefox plugins folder to the file libplugins.so by running the command sudo ln -s /home/kalle/Applications/nexus/libplugins.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libplugins.so
    Copy the shell script² personal.sh to folder /usr/local/bin/ by running the command: sudo cp /home/kalle/Applications/nexus/personal.sh /usr/local/bin/personal.³
    Now, open the copy with a text editor and change the two lines to point at the program folder (this should be obvious).
    Make a symbolic link to the program folder in /usr/local/lib/ with the command: sudo ln -s /home/kalle/Applications/nexus/ /usr/local/lib/personal
    Open the file /etc/ld.so.conf in a text editor and add a line with the path of the program folder⁴. Finally, run the command sudo ldconfig.⁵
    Once you start Firefox the plugin should be recognized and operational (hopefully).
    For those who don't know:
    Nexus Personal, or "BankID", is a proprietary program that can be used as a method for personal identification, and is used on the websites of various Swedish authorities, banks, etc.
    I'm not sure if this is the appropriate place to be writing this, but I couldn't think of any other.
    Clarifications:
    ¹: where "kalle" should be your username. You can put the program folder with the extracted files wherever you want, though. /home/kalle/Applications/nexus/ is just a mere example.
    ²: located among the extracted files.
    ³: notice the slight difference in the name (the copy should not have an extension).
    ⁴: the line should contain just "/home/kalle/Applications/nexus/"
    ⁵: this seems to be required to do in order to make the plugin find its required libraries that comes with the program.
    General tips for troubleshooting:
    Invoking the command ldd can be used to check if the plugin executables has their required libraries set up correctly.
    In Firefox you can also write about:plugins in the address bar in order to see if the browser is following the symbolic link that is located in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/.

  • Use of Risk Analysis Webservice without installing CUP

    1)Can we use Risk Analysis (SAPGRC_AC_IDM_RISKANALYSIS) webservice without installing CUP.
    2)This webservice requires request id , which we will not have untlil we create a request in CUP.Besides request id, it has user id and system id as input field.
    Is there a way or any other web service available, which accepts some other fields like role (particularly), analsysis type,etc, and then return us analysis data.
