WEB Generated Forms Navigation

I am new to Designer6i and am learning it by creating a small internal WEB PL/SQL generated application. The app involves three tables/forms; table/form A is master for table/form B and table/form B is master of table C. The application generates and functions just fine but I would like to have the ability for the user to navigate from B or C back to the record list on form A as it was initially queried. I have created a navigation action item in B and C to return to the record list form (AINMCF) on A but the form requeries the entire table(A) losing the restricted record list. Is there a way for me redisplay/regenerate the record list for form A such that the search criteria or recordlist is maintained?
Any insight will be appreciated.

It is at least possible. There may be an easier way, but the following outline would work. In the interest of getting you a quick answer, I'll give general ideas (I'm not currently in front of a Designer instance ...)
First, you could utilize custom frame sets to accomplish this. I often use a frame set that allows me to keep the record list in one frame while have the insert/update delete form in another.
Another option is to set the preference that determines how many levels deep context information is retained (I can't remember the pref name, off the top of my head). Set it sufficient to maintain information to your last form. Then you can add a link of you own, in the user text area, that points back to Table A, with the appropriate context info. I am not certain that this will work, as I don't know if you will have the query criteria available at that point.
Let me know if either of these work for you. If there is not enough info above, let me know and I will respond with more details (when I am in front of Designer and can answer properly).

Error in generating form with 6i

I have installed designer 6i rel 2 with form developer 6i on NT
4.0.
When in design editor, I want to generate the form with generate
module, the system generate "CDR-21600: A running Generator or
Utility has failed."
Also in action column writes: " It is possible that the internal
cache is now in an inconsistent state. You are therefore
recommended to close and restart the application."
Could anyone tell me what is the problem and how to solve it.
thanks

Here is an document which describes some known causes of CDR-
21600 errors. I hope it will help you.
PURPOSE
To describe some known causes of CDI-21600 errors and to
suggest possible solutions and workarounds.
SCOPE & APPLICATION
This note was written for users of Oracle Designer releases 2.1.x
and 6.0.
CDI-21600 errors occur most frequently during Design Capture and
when generating forms with the Forms and WebServer generators.
Investigating CDI-21600 errors
In Oracle Designer Release 2.1.2 and Release 6.0, this error has
the form:
CDI-21600 'A running generator or utility has failed'
The Release 2.1.1 error message was: 'Generator or Utility throw
an Exception'
The CDI-21600 error message means that the generator is hitting
an unhandled exception, also known as a GPF (general protection
fault). The CDI-21600 error masks the underlying exception error.
To see the real error do the following:
1. Go into the Registry Editor (REGEDIT).
2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\oracle\des2_70
3. Set EXCEPT_HANDLING to 0 (by default it is 1).
Repeat the action that resulted in the error.
Known Causes of CDI-21600 Errors and Possible Solutions
Some of the reasons why CDI-21600 errors occur are listed below.
1. A common cause of CDI-21600 errors is failure to install the
necessary
Developer patches.
See [NOTE:64630.1] Developer Patches required to run
Designer with Developer
2. Check that Designer is running on a supported database. Also
check that the
TNS connection is correct.
See [NOTE:60705.1] Designer Certification Matrix (HTML)
3. Check for 'dangling' foreign keys, in other words FKs no longer
owned by any
table in the repository. Delete all invalid constraints.
Invalid constraints may be created if you use the repository
dump utility to
dump and restore external foreign keys referencing tables
shared into the
application system, without dumping and restoring the tables
that own them.
If you restore a complete dump (rather than a 'skeleton' one),
and then use
the 'Reconnect Share Links' option when restoring, you may be
able to
resolve this problem.
To get a complete list of 'dangling' constraints in your
repository, connect
using SQL*Plus and use the following query:
SELECT app.name, key.name
FROM ci_application_systems app, ci_constraints key
WHERE key.table_reference IS NULL
AND key.application_system_owned_by = app.id;
You can also run CKAZANAL.ANAL_REFERENCES on your
repository and delete all
the invalid constraints that it finds. You can run the Repository
Analyzer
from: Front Panel -> Repository Administration Utility -> Utilities.
NOTE: There may be inconsistencies in the repository that the
Repository
Analyzer cannot fix. You might solve such problems by
dropping all the
tables of your application, recreate them from the ERD,
then use the
DDT and recreate your modules.
[BUG:847190] CDI-21600 during forms generation: 'dangling'
foreign key
"Since the generator is running on a repository that contains
invalid
constraints and the Repository Analyzer solves the problem,
bug closed as
unfeasible to fix."
4. Check your modules for invalid or missing references such as
missing window
placements.
5. Try generating your module against default templates and
object libraries.
6. When capturing forms or libraries, try capturing the form or
library without
application logic, then capture the application logic on its own.
See [NOTE:1064690.6] CDI-21600 when capturing design of
form with
application logic
[BUG:757541] DESCAP: CDI-21600 error reported when
capturing with
application logic
Fixed In Ver: 6.0
[BUG:926383] Duplicate of [BUG:757541] This has been fixed in
2.1.2 patch
779559. However you would be advised to apply a later patch
such as 855635
which fixes more bugs in this area.
7. Make sure that all objects that are referenced by the form have
been
captured into the repository before capturing the form.
8. A CDI-21600 will occur if a lookup usage displays only one
column of
datatype DATE or if the column of datatype DATE is displayed
as the first
item in the block.
Workaround
Add more column usages to the lookup block and do not
display the DATE data
type column usage as the first item in the block.
9. [BUG:810472] CDI-21600 when 'Argument in Caller' is set
Fixed In Ver: 6.5.3.0
Workaround
Make sure that you have an argument in the called module that
is mapped to
the "Argument Passed Value" in the calling module. The only
way to get this
mapping back once the APV has the <Module Argument> label
is to delete it
and recreate it.
10. [BUG:801736] CDI-21600 on design capture of a form with
subclassed object
Fixed In Ver: 6.0.3.1.0 (backport)
Fixed In Ver: 6.5
You have an item that has been subclassed to an object.
Checking the Design
Capture option 'Capture Control Blocks' causes the CDI-21600
error. Uncheck
'Capture Control Blocks' and the problem does not occur. Open
the FMB in
Forms*Builder and look at Data Blocks -> Items. Break the link
to the
object, save the FMB, and the form will capture (similar to
[BUG:794872]).
Alternatively, ensure the link can be established.
11. [BUG:850436] CDI-21600 on generation of a form with template
having
subclassed object group
You try to generate a form out of Designer that uses a user-
defined
template. If a collection of objects in the template is grouped
into an
object group, dragged into the object library and then either
copied or
subclassed into a form, when the form is generated you get a
CDI-21600
error.
12. [BUG:822659] Module generation fails (CDI-21600) with multi-
column PK having
long prompt text
Fixed In Ver: 6.5.3.2
Module generation with multi-column primary key having long
prompt text
causes CDI-21600 with preference MSGSFT set.
Workaround
Shorten the prompt text of PKs may not be not applicable. You
may loose end
user information.
You may have the same problem with a mandatory compound
FK. CASEOFG tries to
generate a message '<P1> must be entered', where <P1>
contains all the
prompts of the bound items from the FK. If you reduce the
length of the
prompts, or set MSGSFT = NULL or WEDI = S or property
Mandatory?=No, it
works correctly.
13. [BUG:792542] Capturing application logic causes CDI-21600
(V2 style
triggers)
Fixed In Ver: 6.5.5
After removal of the v2 triggers, the form captures/merges OK
on 5.0.24.8,
provided patch 875027 has not been applied.
14. [BUG:790877] CDI-21600 if the primary/foreign keys have no
key components
Fixed In Ver: 6.5.11
Generating a module with tables having a primary key not
correctly defined
(no PK component) will cause a CDI-21600 error. This can
occur when
unloading a module from the RON. If you pick up the module
(and only the
module) in the unload set, the table and its PK are unloaded as
a skeleton.
Loading the .DAT file into a new application will create a PK
without a
component.
15. [BUG:771549] CDI-21600 if cannot connect to the DB with
connect string in
Options (Compile)
Fixed In Ver: 6.5.13
If you cannot connect to the DB with the connect string
specified in options
(Compile), the forms generator will fail with CDI-21600.
This problem occurs when you cannot connect to the DB
because:
- the username or password is wrong;
- or the SQL*Net alias is not defined in the TNSNAMES.ORA
file;
- or the SQL*Net listener is not started;
- or the DB is down.
16. [BUG:785106] CDI-21600 when generate master detail form
with preserve layout
[BUG:855812] is a duplicate of this bug.
Fixed In Ver: 5.0.24.6.0 (Bug:860426 Backport request for 2.1.2)
Fixed In Ver: 6.0
Fixed In Ver: 6.5.3
You have a master-detail Form with the Master having items
partly on a TAB
Canvas. Generate Module works OK. You enter Forms Builder
and move some
items on the tabs (just small changes, items are still on the
same tabs).
You change the look of the Detail and change Records
Displayed. Now in
Designer you generate the Module with Preserve Layout. You
get a CDI-21600
error. The problem might reproduce without doing any changes
in Forms
Builder, just by generating with Preserve Layout.
17. [BUG:891306] If primary key column of lookup in check
constraint comment of
base table
Fixed In Ver: 6.5.5
Workaround
Do not use the name of the bound item that is based on the
primary key
column of the lookup table in a check constraint comment of
the base table.
18. [BUG:896026] Forms gen throws assertion failure in
CVINI/BUILDACTIONITEM@/CV/CVI/CVIBNI.CPP
Fixed In Ver: 6.5.7
A problem is caused by a PL/SQL definition (function, package,
procedure)
being defined as a called module for the module you are trying
to generate.
To resolve the problem and enable the module to be generated,
remove all
Called Modules that are PL/SQL definitions (functions,
procedures or
packages).
See [NOTE:2107207.6] CDI-21600 during generation of module
or Assertion
Failure \cv\cvi\cvibni.cpp
19. [BUG:812333] CDI-21600 generating a web module after
adding an unbound item
Fixed In Ver: 6.5.3.0
Backport [BUG:1280667] raised to fix by 6.0.3.9
You add an unbound item (SQL expression) to a Web module.
When you try to
generate the module you get a CDI-21600 error. If you delete the
unbound
item the Web module generates correctly.
In a test case the problem occurred during validation of the
derivation
text, if the master module component was in a different module.
A workaround
was to rearrange module components so that this was not the
case.

How to call an ABAP based web service from a web page (form)

Hi,
I am trying to figure out how I can call my own developed ABAP based web service. I was able to successfully test it in the WS navigator and am now wondering what I need to do to embed the service call in a plain simply web page (form). Basically I'd like to create a web form allowing to specify the parameters and with a 'Submit' button pass the parameters to the web service and launch it.
Is this possible or do I need some kind of SDK to accomplish this?
Thanks for any hints and tips.

Generate Forms on Designer

Hi, Everybody
I’m new in designer
I finished my first ERD and convert it to physical tables and
indexes By (database design transformer) that’s OK , and when I
entered Design Editor I found those tables Ok ,
My problem: I want Designer to generate forms for this tables ,
I entered Navigator Window then I choosed Modules tab and then
Reusable Module Components and I lunched it Ok to select all
items to be displayed BUT I COUNDN’T FIND ANY FORMS WAS
GENERATED
HOW CAN I GENERATE FORMS ?
By the way: I don’t want to generate any Functions in designer,
I have developer2000 on my machine , and I use Designer 6I Ver
6.5.4
THANKS

It is difficult from your question to understand exactly what you
have done. I will attempt to outline the general process. All the
steps listed will be done from the Design Editor.
1. Assuming you have your data model defined in Designer
including primary keys, foreign keys, domains etc.
2. Use the server generator to create you data model in your
target database
3. Create a module for each form
4. Create a module component for each block you want to generate
(note for more advanced generation you may have sub module
components)
5. For each of the module components you need to define the
tables the block is based on and the items required. Each item
will either be bound to a column or be un-bound, i.e. non db item
6. The next step requires a reasonable degree of knowledge, I
suggest you read the help or a good Designer book. To get the
layout and functionality you require you need to use a
combination of the layout properties, preferences, templates,
application logic and layout tab editor settings.
7. Once you have done this you run the forms generator for your
module and unless you get generation errors you will end up with
a .fmb. (Make sure that the version of Forms you have is
compatible with the version of Designer)
8. You should expect to repeat steps 6 and 7 a number of times to
get the form you want.
I hope this helps

Submit Web Dynpro form to external URL

Is there a way to submit a Web Dynpro form to an external url using the POST method?
I am able to use the onExit plug to pass a URL and submit query string parameters to the external url. My concern with this solution though is that the query string has length limits in different browsers (IE 2048 chars, etc.).
Any help/direction would be great.

Hi
You can create a html page as a web resource and write an active script in it so that it submits itself.
I am not sure if it will work. But give it a try.
     StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
     sb.append("<html>");
     sb.append("<head>");
     sb.append("<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">");
     sb.append("function submitForm(){");
     sb.append("document.form.submit();");
     sb.append("}");
     sb.append("</script>");
     sb.append("</head>");
     sb.append("<body onload="submitForm()">");
     sb.append("<form method=post action="Your_Active_Script" name="form">");
      Similarly append body of the form
         Which might include hidden parameters
     sb.append("</form>");
     sb.append("</html>");
     IWDCachedWebResource webResource = WDWebResource.getWebResource(sb.toString().getBytes(),WDWebResourceType.HTML);
     try {
          wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createExternalWindow(webResource.getURL(),"Some Title",false).open();
     } catch (WDURLException e) {
          // TODO Auto-generated catch block
          e.printStackTrace();

Error while generating form 16 in portal - Screen output without connection

Dear Gurus,
We are facing error while generating form 16 through portal and getting the below error in portal.
Screen output without connection to user. error key: RFC_ERROR_SYSTEM_FAILURE
When we checked for dumps in R/3 the following dump is coming:
DYNPRO_SEND_IN_BACKGROUND with error message :
Message class : FPRUNX
Message number: 102: No job started.
Then we tried to execute the form 16 through R/3 itself using tcode PC00_M40_F16 after putting in the relevant values in the selection screen and then press on PRINT FORM button, but surprisingly the system logs out without giving any error or dump.
We tried doing it repeatedly and once in these attempts we got an error saying Initialization of font server module failed.
We are not getting clue as to why this is happening. <<Text removed>>

Multi-record / spread table...moveable fields in designer generated form

Good morning all;
I hope you are doing good...
Imagine a multi-record block layout with it's overflow property set to spread-table to accomodate 10 varchar2(25) fields. Now, of the hundreds of users working with this generated form, not one of them wants to see the fields in the same order on the screen.
What i would like to do is generate the form from designer so that a user could 'drag'n drop' let say, field #10 to the field #2 spot on the screen. Something like windows explorer where you can move the 'Size' column around so it is viewable without having to use the spread-table bar at the bottom of the screen...
Any idea on how to generate this form from designer?
Thank you and wish me luck!

I don't know a solution, but I think a solution could be easier found if it was a read-only block. You did not specify that. Then maybe you could dynamically change the query behind the block.
Good luck, Paul.

Problems about deploying Oracle web application (Forms, Reports)

I am going to deploy Oracle web applications (Forms and Reports) and plan to use the same server machine for both Application web server and Database server.
1. How can I enable SSL (for data encryption) on Application web server for Oracle Forms ?
2. Since both Application web server and Database server will use the same machine, do I still need Oracle Advanced Security for data transmission between Application web server and Database server if data encryption for transmission is required ?
3. Can I user Oracle Forms to call Oracle Report on web as I did in Client/Server in the past ?
Experts like you may have come across such problems. Would you please give me some opinions/ideas ?
Regards,
Richard

1. check the paper about the Forms servlet architecture on otn forms section for SSL tips.
3. Check the reports and forms integration paper on otn too.

Can we generate forms from different locations on same account?

We're thinking of subscribing for the unlimited forms plan. Would this plan allow us to generate forms (and receive reports) from various locations on the same account? Or would each location need its own account?
Thanks, Meg

Hi Meg;
Depending on the roles each user needs to play, you could have one "Plus" membership that can have all of the "live" forms in it, that user could share forms and/or responses with the other users so they could collaborate in the editing and view responses and reports. The permissions in the form (ability to use paid features) are based on the form author, so the "Free" level users could use the paid features in these forms that were shared by the one Plus membership.
Here is some information on sharing forms: http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-2462
Also some good gneral Quick Start guides and How To's: https://www.acrobat.com/formscentral/en/library/how-to-make-create-survey-or-form.html
In addition, if any of the free users were to create a form for the team they could export that form as a design file for the Plus member to import and then share. Since the free user can only create one form, but have unlimited shared with them, and since the form rights are from the author the Free user wouldn't want to share the form, but instead export it so that when the Plus user imports it they are the author and when it is shared the form would have the Plus level features (I hope that made sense).
As far as organization there are no folders in FormsCentral at this time.
Thanks,
Josh

Form fields in LiveCycle. I want to allow users to add URLs to a form so that they can be clicked and opened on the web by form reviewers (users). what is the best way to achieve this?

Form fields in LiveCycle. I want to allow users to add URLs to a form so that they can be clicked and opened on the web by form reviewers (users). what is the best way to achieve this?

Once the user has entered the URL they want to add to the form. You can use the loadXML function to implement some special text in a label...
var linkValue = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?><exData contentType=\"text/html\" xmlns=\"http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-template/2.8/\"><body xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml\" xmlns:xfa=\"http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/\" xfa:APIVersion=\"Acroform:2.7.0.0\" xfa:spec=\"2.1\"><p style=\"font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none;letter-spacing:0in\">The new link the user have entered is:<a href=\"" + textfield.rawValue + "\">textfield.rawValue</a></p></body></exData>";
this.resolveNode("lblURL").value.exData.loadXML(linkValue, 1, 1);

Can "Save for Web" generate a thumbnail instead of an icon?

Can "Save for Web" generate a thumbnail instead of an icon? Or can the icon be replaced by a thumbnail? Thanks.

I don't think Save for Web embeds any icons or thumbnails, because the whole point of Save for Web is to keep the file size down as much as possible for Web use by not including anything except the image and some text metadata that you choose. If you're seeing a thumbnail or icon, it was probably generated by your operating system and may only be local to your desktop.
If you do want to embed a thumbnail or icon into a JPEG file, you might get one by choosing File > Save As instead. The Save As command is intended to give you the most complete file possible, where Save for Web is designed to give you the smallest file possible.
