Web forms seperate window size

I am on a team supporting a forms application that is in the
process of moving to the web. we use the seperateFrame="true"
parameter to bring up the forms in a window outside the
browser. However, the window is too small and must be resized
manually. Is there a way to have the window automatically open
with a large enough size? It is so small that the login box
isn't even visible. Thanks.

Hello,
in the Oracle Application Server_v4.0.7 you must generate a
CWeb - cartrigde for your forms with a separate frame.
In the height and wight values for the frame set your size.
It works very well.
All the best

Forms 10g window size in unix

Hi, when I migrated from 6i to 10g I added some code to maximize window size in When-New-form-Instance trigger of the form. It works in windows but when I try to run the form in Unix the window size is not big enough to see the whole form. i tried to change the width and height properties of the window1 but still not working. after researching the forum I found out that i should change the width and height properties in formsweb.cfg. In formsweb.cfg the width is 750 and the height is 600 should I change those numbers ? to what? and would it miss the rest of my application? or not? Please let me know it is urgent... Thanks in advance for helping...

Just like on Windows, the Developer suite will be installed in a similar directory structure on Unix. In order to change the UNIX file, you will need to be logged in as ORACLE on the UNIX server or your account will have to have Read/Write priv's on the formsweb.cfg file. First, will need to navigate to the ORACLE_HOME directory (typically it will be something like: /usr/oracle/ias10g/ depending on how it was installed on your server). Once in the ORACLE_HOME directory it is just like your workstation. The "formsweb.cfg" will be found in the /forms/server/ directory. If you put that all together, based on my example, the path to the formsweb.cfg would be: /usr/oracle/ias10g/forms/server/formsweb.cfg. If you have made it this far, I recommend checking the file permissions on the file.
Type:
ls -l *.cfgHere is an example from my test system.
-rw------- 1 oracle dba 22286 Aug 21 07:43 formsweb.cfgAs you can see in my example, the formsweb.cfg file is owned by the "oracle" user and "dba" group. Only the Oracle user has privileges to Read or Write to the file.
In this example, both the owner and the group have read write priv's to the file.
-rw-rw---- 1 oracle dba 22286 Aug 21 07:43 formsweb.cfgMore than likely, you will need your UNIX administrator to modify the file for you.
Hope this helps.

Creating and Edit Order in Web Dynpro (seperate window or view?)

Hi,
I have just done with Web order creation in web dynpro and is going to start on Edit now. Should I have a seperate window for Edit or should I put it together in the same window as Create order?

Hi Jackson,
Most of the time for such kind of requirements it is generally prefer to have a seperate view for edit and that is being called using the plugs from the main screen.
The flow will be like this:
View 1 (main View having data, Fieds for editing are disabled) -
> Fires Plug to Edit view -
> Edit View ( With all fields enabled which you want for editing).
In kind of a design the main advantage is, you can directly keep the required nodes in the component controller and map these nodes in main view and edit view, both. Without even caring for any data flow.
Data flow will be automatically be taken care by the component controller. The only one thing which needs to be handled is the UI elements enable and disable property. Because in the case of the main view you need to keep the disbale property of most of the UI element as True (as you don want user to edit anythign in this main view). In the edit view the disable property of same UI elements will be set to False, as used can edit any thing in this edit view.
If you keep this kind pf approach one more added advantage is that you can pass various parameters in the plug function. So if you want to handle something on the bases of sone flag etc then you can pass those parameters in the plug method.
However, as replied earlier, the decision is purely based upon your requirement. If the requirement is to show the edit screen as a Pop-up then you can help it!! Go with it..
I hope this will solve your issue. Please revert back if you need any other information.
Thanks and Regards

Password entry is on web site, seperate window opens in FF, not allowing log in

Password entry block is located on Web site, but Firefox opens another window asking for a password, which the site does not accept the password once entered in Firefox block.

That makes it difficult for us to troubleshoot, can you give us a screenshot of that "separate window" that opens and asks for a password?

Web Forms 10g font size

Hi,
I've upgraded my Forms 6i client/server application to 10g but when I run my application, fonts's size is too small!
The application server is installed on a Linux OS.
Does anyone knows how do I increase font size?
Thank you in advance,
Carla Almeida

You must update the FontEntry.class in f90all\oracle\forms\engine\FontEntry.class
1.and modify the getMappingTable() method with linux client OS :
/* customize code start here */
if(s1.equals("linux"))
s = s + "_linux";
/* customize code end here */
2. create new java class named :FontMapping_linux.class
mapping customize font size with linux client just for example :
public static final int sDialog[] = {
8, 8, 9, 9, 10, 10, 12, 12, 12, 13,
15, 15, 17, 17, 18, 18, 20, 21, 22, 23,
24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33,
26, 27, 29, 31, 31, 32, 33, 33, 36, 36,
37, 37, 38, 39, 41, 41, 42, 42, 42, 44,
44, 45, 45, 46, 48, 50, 50, 50, 52, 52,
54, 55, 56, 56, 56, 57, 57, 58, 59, 60,
61, 63
3 . put updated & new class in path and re-jar and sign f90all.jar with new keystore , put f90all.jar in /AS904/forms90/java
4. add new parameter in /AS904//forms90/server/basejpi.htm :
<PARAM NAME="mapFonts" VALUE="yes"> in object tag
and
mapFonts="yes" in embed tag
5.finished ..
If you have more questions, you can send mail to [email protected] ,
maybe I can give you some suggestion.

Web form status line size

are there any way to maximize the font of the status line appears in the form??

If it is already there, then I'm assuming that you'll have data at a particular intersection. (if that is correct) then use @RETURN i
if (division->some member <> #Missing)
Return the message you want to display
else
continue the calc
end if
An example is here Oracle - Hyperion Labs......: @RETURN - Planning Business Rule validation function and @RETURN

Size of windows in WEB Forms 6i

Hi all,
I'm facing a problem regarding the size of the windows in our application. We are using Forms 6i server with IIS and I'm facing the follwing problems:
1) Im having an output screen which is having a canvas width of 1141 units and height of 670 units. Now, instead of giving set_window_property (maximize) Im explicitly mentioning the size of the window as
Set_window_property (window_name, window_size, 1141, 670);
Im writing this code in When-New-Form-Instance trigger. But the output screen is not coming totally; some of the columns are truncated at the right portion. This problem Im facing for two or three of the forms.Since the canvas size is maximum for this one, so I thought if I can solve this one, I can solve the rest also.
2) The next problem is also regarding the size of the window. I want to set the size of a window at runtime, so that it can override the properties set in the property palette at design time. Now Im having 4 or 5 stacked canvases running from a single window and I want to set the size of the window on the basis of the size of the canvas itself. So my idea is whenever Im navigating to the stacked canvas through some button, say, I write the following code in the When-Button-Pressed trigger:
Set_window_property (window_name, window_size, width,height);
But the window size is not changing, its having the same size that it had in the previous canvas. Why is it so and how can I attain my goals?
Someone please help me in this as the above mentioned forms are very crucial to our application.
Thanks and Regards,
Arindam Thakur

This appears to be bug 2637005. It should be fixed in the latest version of 6i as well as in 9 and 10.

Window Size is different when running a 6i Form in 9i

Hello,
I was having a window size that has some window chopped off, when running the 6i developed Web form in 9i. I was running the form from my PC using the 9iAS Instance.
Any info. is appreciated.

Is your window getting chopped because of the size of the applet window? If so, change height and width parameters in formsweb.cfg, or pass them in the URL.

Slow response on Windows 2003 with web forms

We are current running Oracle web forms on thin clients on Windows 2000 terminal server. We have installed Windows 2003 on one node of the cluster. When we run the same application on 2003, it is very slow and the screen flashes a lot. It takes 1-2 seconds to echo a keystroke. This is true for Jinitiator 1.3.1.25 and 1.3.1.18. We are using 1.3.1.18 on the Win 2000 terminal server. When I try form=test on Win 2003, the screen has colors and has poorer resolution that running the same on Win2003. The form has a grey background on Win 2000 but is magenta in Win 2003 and you can barely make out the hammer in the prompt. This happens when running from the same thin client with the same resolution and colors. Is there a setting on IE that could be causing this? Is there a problem with Win 2003? The Oracle application server is 9iAS but we see the same probelm with 10g.
Thanks,
Dave

Copying my response from this thread:
Report in Designer fast, in Viewer extremely slow
Thread is now locked.
A "cool" issue, form my perspective as this may be something new to think about / figure out. Not so cool from where you sit...
Anyhow, a few things to check:
1) Compare the runtime of your dev system and the Citrix system. Use Modules to do the comparison.
2) Not sure what runtime was installed, but the most recent MSI / MSM are from SP 1.4:
MSI
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100004610752009E/cr2008_fp14_ri.zip
MSM
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100004610922009E/cr2008_fp14_mm.zip
Trying the FP 1.4 runtime will be worth a shot.
3) How is the performance on the Citrix when you actually sit right on the server, and not on a work station?
4) Where is the slow down occurring (unfortunately this will require a bit of temporary code modification)? But the bottle necks typically are at:
-report load
- connection to the data source
- setting of parameters
- actual report output, be it to a viewer, export or printer.
I suggest a possible way of tackling this in the performance article (page 4):

How to calculate the size of web forms in hyperion planning?

Hi Experts,
I am trying to calculate the size of planning forms in Hyperion smart view., but i am unable to find out the way to calculate.
Can you pls explain how to calculate the size of web form in Smart view?
--- Srini.

Hi Srini,
First, here is what Oracle says:
Data Form Size Estimation:
To get a rough estimate of data form size, open the data form and select File > Save As from the browser. The size of the .HTML file is the portion of the data form that changes based on grid size. The .JS files remain the same size and can be cached, depending on browser settings. Information such as data form definitions, pages, and .gif files are not compressed when data forms are opened and sent to the Web browser.
I have not been able to find out using their method.
In any case, you can find out the size of grid by using below
1. Right click on the form grid and click "View source"
2. Save the source file as "Example.html"
3. Right click the saved file and click "Properties"
4. The Form size whould be same as that of file..
Let me know if it helps.
Cheers

WEB Forms do not display properly with windows 95 LARGE fonts desktop setting

Hi,
We are using WEB forms 6.0 patch level 6 (We tried 6i but had too many bugs with it, we prefer to wait until at least a couple of patches are out, installation was a VERY painful experience for us)
We still have the following problem with WEB FORMS deployed on win95 desktops with LARGE FONTS destktop settings: The forms are not displayed correctly, sometimes there are no scroll bars, resizing a window gives weird results, part of the forms become inaccesible, some forms are blank, etc...
Can you verify or confirm that you have the same kind of problems ? We use jinitiator 1.1.18.
Is it fixed with 6i ? Is it fixed wit jinit 1.1.27 ?
We develop in smal fonts on win95 and recompile under solaris before deploying.
Thanks

Thank you all for your fast asnwers. The "Use hardware acceleration when available" was the problem, I disabled it and I will post a message on my site about this.
The site is on-line in the same aspect since 2005, modifiyng the whole site to fit with Firefox11's default setting is not a good option. At that moment, placing a tabel (alligned to the center of the page) and puting in it the thumbnails with links generated by ExpressThumbnailCreator, than manually adding the description in the HTML view of FrontPage was the simplyest way possible to make the site appear properly on my 800*600 px resolution I used then. Of course, I upgraded my hardware and software since then, but the site remained mostly unchanged (except the index and a few files). I know it's time for a new version of the site but... my web-design knowledges are limited to basic HTML.

Resultant window size in 9i forms/reports?

I am calling a report from Form; I need to setup the report resultant browser window size and appearing coordinates (like we setup stacked canvas height/width & XY co-ordinates).
How and where can I customize these coordinates?
Please advise.
Thank you,

as far as I know, No.

Using Forms 10.1.2.3 and JRE1.6.0_10, web.show_document pops window behind

Hello everyone, we are using Forms 10.1.2.3 and JRE1.6.0_10. We have separateFrame=true. We noticed when we open another browser using web.show_document('xxxx','_blank'), for example to our online help, the window pops behind the Forms MDI window. In previous versions of java it always popped in front of it like you would expect. We are using XP and IE7. It also acted the same way on Vista with IE7 as well. Has anyone else encountered this or found a workaround?

As far as the dll goes, our dll is written in C and uses I guess windows api calls to start whatever task we need. (I didnt write it). As far as the forms code goes, we use the webutil_c_api calls. Here's a sample of the function I call from forms:
FUNCTION StartTask ( pStartin varchar2, pCommandline varchar2, perrormessage in out varchar2) return number IS
          StartIn varchar2(255) := pStartIn;
          Commandline varchar2(1000) := pCommandline;
          Errmsg varchar2(2000):='$$';
     rc pls_integer;
          f_handle WEBUTIL_C_API.FUNCTIONHANDLE;
          args Webutil_c_api.parameterlist;
          param1 Webutil_c_api.ParameterHandle;
          param2 Webutil_c_api.ParameterHandle;
          param3 Webutil_c_api.ParameterHandle;
     begin
          --debuglog('calling StartTask local');
          f_handle := WEBUTIL_C_API.register_function('ClientUtils.dll','StartTask');
          args := WEBUTIL_C_API.create_parameter_list;
     param1 := WEBUTIL_C_API.add_parameter(args,WEBUTIL_C_API.C_CHAR_PTR
          ,WEBUTIL_C_API.PARAM_INOUT,StartIn, 255);
          param2 := WEBUTIL_C_API.add_parameter(args,WEBUTIL_C_API.C_CHAR_PTR
          ,WEBUTIL_C_API.PARAM_INOUT,Commandline, 1000);
          param3:= WEBUTIL_C_API.add_parameter(args,WEBUTIL_C_API.C_CHAR_PTR
          ,WEBUTIL_C_API.PARAM_INOUT,Errmsg, 2000);
          rc := WEBUTIL_C_API.Invoke_Int(     'ClientUtils.dll','StartTask',args);
          perrormessage := WEBUTIL_C_API.GET_PARAMETER_STRING(args,param3);
     WEBUTIL_C_API.Destroy_Parameter_List(args);
     WEBUTIL_C_API.Deregister_Function(f_handle);
     return rc;
     END;

How to make form objects dynamically fit into window sizes?

Hi,
Form objects are always static. i.e, stick to the disigning time window size/resolution.
When the resolution changes, the form objects will not strech to the new window size.
Many of the clients are unhappy with this incapable feature.
Is there any way to come out of this problem?
Thanks and Regards,
Vishwanath

In teh hierarchy view - click on the Master Page/ Page1. Now on the object palette on the Master Page Tab you can choose a Paper Type. If you scroll to the bottom of the list you can choose a Custom size. The width and height dimensions are now available to you. The UI in designer limits you to 59 in. If you need more than that there is a way to get bigger but you have to do it in the native XML format. Let me know if you need more than that. Here is a modified sample.
