Using oracle9ids

hi all,,
Can I use oracle9ids to serve reports without using oracle portals and if so I want to know where to put my forms and my reports I test forms and I put it in the same directory where the test file exists
,, can I organize my reports as an application using this
product ,,
also I faced a problem with parameter form that the parameter page dosen't appear in my language Iam forced always to change it from browser
thanks maher habash

You don't have to use Oracle Portal to publish reports. You do need 9iAS, though. The OC4J that comes with 9iDS is for developing purposes only. If you want to use Forms and Reports in your application, you need 9iAS.

Forms/Reports created using Oracle9iDS on Windows 2K deployed on Oracle9iAS on Linux

I have got recently three Oracle Products namely, Oracle 9i Database, Oracle 9i Application Server (9iAS) and Oracle Internet Developer Suite (iDS). The Oracle 9i Database and Oracle 9iAS are installed on the RedHat Linux 7.3 Advanced Server. The Internet Developer Suite is for the MS Windows 98/2000 platform.
My question is whether my application developed using Forms 6i and Reports 6i available with Internet Developer Suite, on the MS Windows 98/2000 platform can be deployed on the Oracle 9iAS on Linux. If yes, what are the issues involved in this? If not, do I need to re-develop my application using iDS on Linux?
I would be grateful to get an early answer to my questions.

Hi,
Try open your fmb files on Linux 9iDS, if everything ok. Compile your form and try to run it.
I didn't check it myself, but I migrate forms from 4.5 forms to 6i forms without problems.
From Windows to Linux and back no problem, but you must remember to compile all forms for
target operating system (Linux or Windows).
Hope it helps,
Roman.

Run Report Server in Oracle9iDS

Hello!
I use Oracle9iDS ( from9i & report9i)
I can open report direct from browser by writing URL
http://test:8888/reports/rwservlet?report=test.rep&userid=test/test@test&destype=cache&desformat=html&server=repserver and it Runs the Smart Agent .
I note when the Smart Agent is running , I can call and run report server from Form by using the following code , otherwise it gives me blank page and alerts me that it cant find report server . Please point me how the Smart Agent will be running immediately after I call report server from Form .
please mail at [email protected]
Best Regards

Omar,
the Smart Agent is a part of the Object Request Broker (ORB) used by the Reports Services internal communication. Seeing the Smart Agent window shows you that the Reports Server is running. The problem you are having is that the Reports Servlet that you run from the URL in the Web implicitly starts the Reports Server for you. Forms does not use this Servlet for reporting and thus requires the Reports Services to be up and running when first requesting it. You need to start the Reports Server prior to using it with Forms. E.g. as a service:
rwserver -install repsrv
to install it as a windows service

Directory dialog in weborms

Directory dialog in webforms
I have oracle metalink note 74140.1 which describes how to implement get_file_name in webforms by way of a javabean.I have done this and it works ok and i get the file path back in my form.My question is , I need also a directory only dialog similar to the above filename dialog.How do I implement get_file_name in webforms for directory selection only.

Thanks Duncan , Have you actually got this to work when integrated in a form.I can get this to work standalone in JDeveloper , but when I integrate into the form via a bean area and press the button to bring the dialog up , I get no response.I have checked Jinitiator panel (I'm using oracle9ids with jinit 1.3.1.8) and there are no security exceptions.I have checked my classpath and included the necessary jars in that and in the config file.Do I need to set anything else?

Designer9i Not Working

Hi,
Sorry if this question has been posted before.
I recently installed 9iDS on a test machine in
preparation for migration from previous version,
but right off the bat we ran into problem using
9i Designer.
The problem is, when I ran any of the Diagrammer
Tool (for example ERD), no Entity can be created.
If I click on the entity button, I can draw the
empty entity box and get a dialog box asking me
for the entity name, short name, and plural. If
I enter the values and click OK, the dialog will
not go away and nothing is saved. The only way to
get out of this dialog box is to click cancel. So
nothing can be created.
I created the repository without any problem and
doubt this problem is from the repository. I wonder
if anybody has run into this problem before. Form
Builder and Report Builder worked okay. I thought
of using the Diagnostics option but I don't want
to proceed without any clear idea what's going on
(which can mess things up more.) Other Oracle9i
products installed worked fine so far.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you very much,
Ed

Hello again Ed,
Please can you give me some more details on this, e.g. the database
version, the OS platform etc. Can you confirm you are using Oracle9iDS
Release 2 (9.0.2) too, or is it Designer 6i Release 4.2/4.3?
When you tried to create a new diagram or include an entity, did the
Entity Relationship Diagrammer allow you to select folders as well as
application systems, or did both folders/application systems display
in the list of 'containers' available?
Looking forward to your reply.
Regards,
Dominic

OC4J Install

A simple question of installation. In the install of OC4J with either the iDS or iAS 9.0.2 should there be an actual mod_oc4j component that is used with OHS ?
I can get OC4J itself to install and start successfully, but cannot use from OHS. I notice from the documentation the reference to mod_oc4j as an actual module loaded into OHS instead of the proxy module. But no matter what I install (on XP Pro SP1) none of the associated pieces for mod_oc4j (.dll(?), .conf etc) appear. How does the OHS pass requests on to OC4J otherwise? This is severely holding up our use of Forms and Reports in this environment so any ideas would be welcome.
Many thanks

If you install Oracle9iAS 9.0.2.0.1 from the CD, and select Business Intelligence and Forms installation, the OC4J used for forms and reports automatically get wired up to the OHS and mod_oc4J.
If you are trying to use Oracle9iDS for building Forms and reports applications, it will use standalone Oc4J (with native HTTP server, not OHS). While deploying you have to use the mid tier instance as mentioned in the first paragraph.
Anytime standalone Oc4J is used, it will not use OHS + mod_oc4j.

Error running the report from Form

Hi,
I am try to run the report from the form by using these code of line
DECLARE
RPT_OBJECT REPORT_OBJECT;
RPT_RUN VARCHAR2(100);
BEGIN
RPT_OBJECT := FIND_REPORT_OBJECT('REPORT7');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(RPT_OBJECT, REPORT_COMM_MODE, SYNCHRONOUS);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(RPT_OBJECT, REPORT_DESTYPE, CACHE);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(RPT_OBJECT, REPORT_OTHER,'P_CITYCODE'||:CITYCODE||'PARAMFORM = YES');
RPT_RUN := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(RPT_OBJECT);
END;
but i m not using any Form server and Report Server i m completly using Oracle9iDS
It gives the error rep-0110 file not found and
rep-1070 error while opening and saving the file
please give me the solution
Shehzad

Shehzad,
this means that Reports Server cannot access the Reports module. You can test this assumption by copying your Reports module into <Oracle Home>\reports\samples\demo. The demo directory is out of the box accessible fro Reports.
If this allows you to run the Report, then all you need to do is to specify the Reports_Path to include the reports modules.
btw.: An other reason can be that your Reports contains uncompiled PLSQL, so you may want to check this too.

Display Graphics in Forms9i

Hello, I have some .ogd fils I like to display in Forms9iDS Release 2.I have heard that it is highly recommended that Oracle Graphics files are re-written using Oracle9iDS BI Graph Bean component. Where can I find detailed documentation on how to re-write this files?

You don't have to re-write - you can deploying in a 6i environment and link to the 9i - please check out

Set cursor style

Hi,
Using Oracle9iDS Form, How to set the cursor style when mouse on the button?
I want to set cursor style = HAND when mouse on the button and set cursor style = DEFAULT when mouse leave the button.
I'm tried to used trigger WHEN-MOUSE-MOVE and WHEN-MOUSE-LEAVE but not work.
Regards,
Ken

those trigger aren't allowed since forms 9i / 10g. You have to use PJC's for this case.
Have a look in the code-examples on OTN for forms. There are several examples for new items with new features. Maybe you only have to create a item and deploy it at PJC in your application.

Is there any way to generate Gantt chart by using oracle 9iDS?

Is there any way to generate Gantt chart by using oracle 9i reports builder
Can you please send me the link or more information on oracle 9iDS.
Thanks

Hi,
Oracle9iDS itself doesn't support creating Gantt charts. The option oyu have is to use Oracle Graphics 6i, because there is no Graphics in 9i, and configure it to run with Oracle9i Forms. There exist a whitepaper at otn.oracle.com/products/forms that explains how to make Graphics 6i work with Forms 9i.

To Whom want to be helped using the webutil_102 Jacob_17 Form9i builder

Steps Running WEBUTIL Comes With 9i
1) File Distibution;
     After I unzipped the file webutil_102.ZIP; I distributed the file as follow
     In D:\Dev9i\forms90\java I have the following file: webutil.jar, jacob.jar,
     In C:\webutil\lib, I have the following file:
Note: the last two files is not appear unless you apply the sign batch that i will describe it after
     In C:\webutil\forms; I have the following file:
     In C:\webutil\server; I have the following file:
2) File Configuartion (orion-web.xml, forms90.env)
     I edit orion-web.xml file found in
D:\Dev9i\j2ee\Oracle9iDS\application-deployments\forms\forms90web
And add the following row:
<virtual-directory virtual-path="/webutil" real-path="C:\webutil\lib" />
     I edit forms90.env file found in
D:\Dev9i\forms90\server
And add the following row:
# Virtual path for webutil directory as defined in file path j2eedirectory until file orionweb
AliasMatch ^/forms90/webutil/(..*) "C:\webutil\lib/$1"
3) sign the jar file (webutil.jar and Jacob.jar)
I sign the webutil.jar file and Jacob.jar file found C:\webutil\lib; as follow:
a) I reconfigure the makecert.batch file and save a backup makecert_Modfy_Conf_By_Wissam_GOOD.batch which details how I configured it, you can see this file in the following schema: D:\3_BuckUp_Dev9iFile_After_InstalWebutil9i_RuningGood\Soft_File_Prerequiset\5_WebUtil_Comes_With_Forms 9.0.2\util
b) I reconfigure the sign.batch file and save a backup sign_Modfy_Conf_By_Wissam_GOOD.batch which details how I configured it; you can see this file in the fellowing schema: D:\3_BuckUp_Dev9iFile_After_InstalWebutil9i_RuningGood\Soft_File_Prerequiset\5_WebUtil_Comes_With_Forms 9.0.2\util
c) I execute in this order the following batch:
C:\webutil\util\makecert -- this command is executed just one time.
Respone: file certificated.
C:\webutil\util\sign C:\webutil\lib\jacob.jar
Response: jar signed
C:\webutil\util\sign C:\webutil\lib\webutil.jar
Response: jar signed
d) I verify if the jacob.jar and webutil.jar file are well signed as follow:
D:\
cd Dev9i\jdk\bin\
jarsigner -verify C:\webutil\lib\jacob.jar
Response: jar verified
D:\
cd Dev9i\jdk\bin\
jarsigner -verify C:\webutil\lib\webutil.jar
Response: jar verified
After complete this step you will have In C:\webutil\lib, two new UNSIGNED file jacob.jar webutil.jar are created:
4) Config (webutil.env and formsweb.cfg and regedit)
a) webutil.env
I put after I reconfigure the file webutil.env (you can edit this file to see how I reconfigure it) in the directory Dev9i\forms90\server.
     ORACLE_HOME=D:\Dev9i
     FORMS90_PATH=C:\webutil\forms;C:\webutil\lib
     #CLASSPATH=C:\webutil\lib\webutil.jar;c:\oracle\ids9i\jlib\debugger.jar;c:\oracle\ids9i\jlib\ewt3.jar:c:\oracle\ids9i\jlib\share.jar;c:\oracle\ids9i\jlib\utj90.jar;c:\oracle\ids9i\jdk\jre\lib\rt.jar
     CLASSPATH=C:\webutil\lib\webutil.jar;D:\Dev9i\jlib\debugger.jar;D:\Dev9i\jlib\ewt3.jar;D:\Dev9i\jlib\share.jar;D:\Dev9i\jlib\utj90.jar;D:\Dev9i\jdk\jre\lib\rt.jar;C:\webutil\lib\jacob.jar
     WEBUTIL_CONFIG=C:\webutil\server\webutil.cfg
b) formsweb.cfg
I edit formsweb.cfg in D:\Dev9i\forms90\server\formsweb.cfg
In the end I add the following section:
#A sample config entry for use with WebUtil
[webutil]
pageTitle=Oracle9iAS Forms Services - WebUtil
width=100%
height=100%
baseHTMLjinitiator=c:\webutil\server\webutiljini.htm

archive=f90all.jar
WebUtilLogging=off
WebUtilLoggingDetail=normal
WebUtilErrorMode=Alert
lookAndFeel=oracle
envFile=webutil.env
c) Regedit: FORMS90_BUILDER_CLASSPATH
In regedit I edit the variable FORMS90_BUILDER_CLASSPATH and add:
D:\Dev9i\jlib\importer.jar;D:\Dev9i\jlib\debugger.jar;D:\Dev9i\jlib\utj90.jar;D:\Dev9i\jlib\dfc90.jar;D:\Dev9i\jlib\help3.jar;D:\Dev9i\jlib\help3-nls.jar;D:\Dev9i\jlib\oracle_ice5.jar;D:\Dev9i\jlib\ewt3.jar;D:\Dev9i\jlib\share.jar;D:\Dev9i\forms90\java\FormsGraph.jar;D:\Dev9i\forms90\java\demo90.jar;D:\Dev9i\forms90\java\ftpbean.jar;D:\Dev9i\forms90\java\simpleFTP.jar;D:\Dev9i\forms90\java\getclientinfo.jar;D:\Dev9i\forms90\java\webutil.jar
5) Run isql plus
     Connect as meteo
meteo
dbrc
     Run the script create_webutil_db.sql as follow:
SQL> Start C:\webutil\forms\create_webutil_db.sql;
Response: Package Created
6) Java Run Time
at controle pannel I Select “java plug_in 1.3.1.9” , "Advanced Properties" Tab, then scroll the "Java Runtime Environment" Poplist and i choose the last “JRE 1.3.1.17 in c:\...\...\JRE\1.3.1.17”, than validate the dialog box.
7) Begin Forms Construction
1.     Open Form builder Connect with meteo/meteo and in PL/SQL libraries open Webutil.pll file.
a)     File > Save as and Rename the file to different name (e.g WEBUTIL_LIB_MET.pll)
b)     Compile the new PLL file and generate it (WEBUTIL_LIB_MET.plx) and past this file in the location pointed in the FORM PATH variable in the file webutil.env which itself already past in the directory D:\Dev9i\forms90\server
c)     Edit the file webutil.cfg found in C:\webutil\server and handle the security issue as follow:
#NOTE: By default the file transfer is disabled as a security measure
transfer.database.enabled=TRUE
transfer.appsrv.enabled=TRUE
transfer.appsrv.workAreaRoot=c:\temp
transfer.appsrv.accessControl=TRUE
#List transfer.appsrv.read.<n> directories
transfer.appsrv.read.1=c:\temp
#List transfer.appsrv.write.<n> directories
transfer.appsrv.write.1=c:\temp
d)     Attached the new named WEBUTIL_LIB_MET.pll to your form with Remove Path option YES
e)     Subclass webutil.olb(downloaded) into a Form and you will have a new fmb file saved it as WEBUTILLIB9I_WEBUTILDOCS.fmb
f)     Open WEBUTIL_DOCS.fmb and subclass or copy (window canvas block program unit) into your new form WEBUTILLIB9I_WEBUTILDOCS.fmb and save it.
g)     Edit -> Preferences... option, select the "Runtime" Tab, and I updated the Application Server URL:http://wissam-bdd68698:8888/forms90/f90servlet?config= webutil
h)     Run your form WEBUTILLIB9I_WEBUTILDOCS.fmb and you begin use this file

Jose,
the following ports are used by OC4J in iDS
HTTP: 8888 (defined in http-web-site.xml)
RMI : 23791 (rmi.xml)
JMS : 9127 (jms.xml)
is one of these ports taken by another server ?

Use of iconic buttons in forms10g

in forms 6i we are using .ico files for buttons. while in in forms 10g these buttons are not appearing on the form but in layout editor these icons appear. we converted the .ico to gif and then created a jar file of it. in formsweb.cfg we changed archive_jini= frmall_jinit.jar,myAppIcons.jar where myappicons.jar contains the gif files. changed imagebase to codebase. in form the iconic filename is given with relative path and without extension .gif registry.dat is changed to defaulticonpath= d:\abc\myapplcons.jar and default icons.iconextension = gif

Have you amended the file orion-web.xml ?
This is located @
<YOUR_DEVELOPER_HOME>\j2ee\DevSuite\application-deployments\forms\formsweb\orion-web.xml
What you need to amend is in the white paper how to deploy icons under the heading "defining virtual paths in Oracle9iDS"

Hi,
To use the Webutil, you must sign the WEBUTIL.JAR and JACOB.JAR.
Using Jarsigner, you have to define the JDK Home and the Jinitiator home.
I used whe jdk version 1.4.2 and the Jinitiator version 1.3.1.17
Don't forget to apply this modification.
Insert the line
<virtual-directory virtual-path="/webutil" real-path="D:\Forms9i\forms90\webutil" />
in the file
$ORACLE_HOME$\j2ee\Oracle9iDS\application-deployments\forms\forms90web\orion-web.xml
Insert the line
AliasMatch ^/forms90/webutil/(..*) "D:\Forms9i\forms90\webutil/$1"
in the file
$ORACLE_HOME$/forms90/server/forms90.conf
Of course You have to replace D:\forms9i with your Oracle Home.
