WebForms Icons

Hi,
I have closely followed the Oracle document on deploying icons in webforms using JAR's. My trouble is after configuring everything, my JAR's don't download and the images are trying to get read from the incorrect place. My registry.dat file is configured correctly and the location can be verified by hitting the URL and being presented with the dialogue to save or open the JAR. Now, here is the kicker. I just setup my first WebUtil project and VIOLA! the icons work setup the same way! Only difference is that for WebUtil my config section specifies a the baseHTMLJInitiator= value and my .env file for the WebUtil project lists rt.jar in the CLASSPATH. Other than that, the projects are identical.
I have specified imagebase=codebase in both configurations and the JAR files are properly attached to archive_jini=f90all_jinit.jar,/forms90/yieldd/yieldImages.jar.
When I try to look at the JInitiator the WebUtil project downloads the JAR, but the other projects don't. Here is the sample from my JInitiator.
PROJECT THAT DOESN'T WORK
Opening http://tekdev02.bv.tek.com:7781/forms90/java/f90all_jinit.jar
Connecting http://tekdev02.bv.tek.com:7781/forms90/java/f90all_jinit.jar with no proxy

Loaded image: jar:http://tekdev02.bv.tek.com:7781/forms90/java/f90all_jinit.jar!/oracle/forms/icons/bgnd.gif
THE LINES BELOW ARE SUPPOSED TO LOAD THE ICON GIF (arrow.gif) FROM THE JAR FILE THAT DOESN'T DOWNLOAD
I BELIEVE IT SHOULD SAY SOMETHING LIKE: Loaded image: jar:http://tekdev02.bv.tek.com:7781/forms90/tektrace/tektraceicons.jar!/arrow.gif

For the icons not displaying, try out the following:
In the registry.dat file give the full virtual path for the entry "default.icons.iconpath" like
default.icon.iconpath= http://host.domain_name/web_icons/
/web_icons/ is the virtual path where you have your icons mapped.
The best way to check whether the icons will display is by tying the URL in the browser itself like http://host.domain_name/web_icons/file.gif ---> this should show the gif file. If it still does not then there should be some directory mapping problem.

Display icons

Hi,
I'm trying to convert forms 4.5 to 6i without a Server, i've already define the string UI_ICON on my registry, i've converted the ico files to gif files. The problem is: i can't see my icons on the canvas and when running through Builder / Web.
I've replaced some of my icons for others used on the default&smartbar, i can see them on my canvas, but not when i run to web.
i've tried to change registry.dat and on default.icon_path i've put the path of the icons of my smartbar... it didn't work:((
Do i need a server to see the icons when running on WEB...? Can't i convert first try to see on WEB and then put on the Server?
Thanks in advance

You can try this solution from Metalink:
Problem Description
How to view icons on an iconic button when running the form through Run Form Web icon.
Explanation
You are able to get icons when running the form thru client server environment. Also when running webforms icons are displayed on the buttons. But when you trying the same using Run Form Web icon the icons are not displayed.
Solution Description:
Modify Registry.dat file. In Registry.dat file specify the virtual path that points to directory where the icons are saved.
default.icons.iconpath=http://<domain name>:<port #>/<virtual path>/
Also in the Registry.dat file you can specify a physical directory.
default.icons.iconpath=file:///C:/web/webicons/
where c:\web\webicons is the directory that holds the gif files.

SharePoint 2013 SSRS in SharePoint Mode - Reports not loading controls.

Hello All,
I have recently run across an issue that has stumped me and my DBA. We have just walked through installing SSRS 2012 w/SP1 in SharePoint (SharePoint 2013) mode according to these instructions
here. Everything went just fine during the install.
When I create a an SSRS report and preview it in Visual Studio, the report looks great. When I upload that report to a SharePoint library, the report does not return any data and all I see are black X's where all the report controls should be. No drop down
menus and the tool bar across the top of the report does not display correctly.
I've been combing through the ULS and IIS logs and all that I have found are 404's in the IIS logs. I see 404's for each control image that the report is trying to render. Example below.
2014-10-14 16:43:41 XX.XX.XXX.XX GET /URL/URL/Reserved.ReportViewerWebPart.axd OpType=Resource&Version=11.0.3000.0&Name=Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.Icons.Refresh.gif 80 0#.w|domain\user XX.XX.XXX.XX Mozilla/4.0+(compatible;+MSIE+7.0;+Windows+NT+6.3;+WOW64;+Trident/7.0;+.NET4.0E;+.NET4.0C;+.NET+CLR+3.5.30729;+.NET+CLR+2.0.50727;+.NET+CLR+3.0.30729;+InfoPath.3)

Any ideas?

Anyone know how to show icon of a button in webforms?

My form have several buttons with an icon.
I create a item named 'UI_ICON' and set the value the directory of icon path. But when I deplop the form on the webserver or run the from IE 5.0. There are are no image shown.
BTW: I have converted the image format from .icon to .gif.
Anyone can help me?
Thanks a ton.

To specify directory path and image format for iconic button image files:
1.Open the Registry.dat file in a text editor.
2.Add the following lines to Registry.dat:
<app_class>.icons.iconpath=<path>
<app_class>.icons.iconextension=<format>
Replace <app_class> with a valid application class referenced by your Web
application.
Replace <path> with one of the following:
a fully-qualified URL that points to any directory on any server:
inv_form.icons.iconpath=http://abc_dev.com/html/icons/
a virtual directory on the same server from which the HTML page
downloaded:
inv_form.icons.iconpath=/icons/
a directory relative to the directory from which the HTML page was
downloaded
(non-cartridge implementations only):
inv_form.icons.iconpath=icons/
Replace <format> with gif (for GIF files) or jpg (for JPEG files). For
example:
inv_form.icons.iconextension=gif
Default Settings:
If you do not specify a directory path or image format for an application
class, Forms uses the default settings in the Registry.dat file:
default.icons.iconpath=
default.icons.iconextension=gif
Solution Explanation:
=====================
Application classes enable you to specify the directory path and image format
(GIF or JPEG) of image files for iconic buttons.
Using application classes is optional, since Forms supplies default settings
for the icon path. Use application classes if you wish to create a number of
different settings that you can alternate between by switching a single
reference in your application's cartridge settings, cartridge HTML file, or
static HTML file.
At runtime, Forms first looks for settings that correspond to the specified
application class (if any). If no application class settings exist, Forms uses
default settings. By default, Forms will search for iconic button image files
in the directory from which the application's HTML file was downloaded, and
will append ".gif" to the filename provided in your form. By default Forms
will only search for .GIF images, but you can switch to using .JPEG images in
the Registry.dat file.
To create settings for an application class, you must add the appropriate
settings to the Registry.dat file.

Hi,
The error is occurred when you have a SSRS report with SharePoint Integration Mode.
I recommend to add the below entry to the web.config for the "SharePoint" web app that your report is running under.
<add key="aspnet:MaxHttpCollectionKeys" value="100000" />
You can also increased the timeout value to 10 on rsreportserver.config .
In addition, you can change the TCP Port.
Here are some similar threads for you to take a look at:

ICONS are not appearing in oracle forms 10g

Dear All,
Good Morning.
I am using oracle 10g forms.
I had my old application in forms6i. I migrated it into forms 10g.
Application is running fine no function problem there is.
But icons are appeared into button.
Please tell me way, how can i configure for icons.

The above mentioned thread is talking about icons not appearing in the Forms builder and not at runtime. I don't think it will help you.
In Webforms displaying "Icons" it's a little bit different than client/server, Webforms use .gif files as icons and not .ico files and these files should be Jarred in a .Jar file and put in a directory where the JVM can reach.
Follow the instruction in the [url http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/pdf/webicons.pdf]Webicons file in page 3 under the "Don't want to learn about the details, Just get started!" it's very easy and fun.

Developer 6.0 WebForms display problems

Well, looking at all the submissions here regarding fonts, etc., I don't think I'm alone here.
I am trying to migrate a Forms 4.5 application to Forms 6.0 so that I can use WebForms to run it over the Web. I'm using Developer 6.0 with Patch 5A applied, against OAS 4.0.7.1 on NT 4.0 SP 3 and a 8.1.5 database.
Before I applied the patch, I had the following problems:
- Icons on buttonbar were clipped around the edges, but appeared centred.
- Embedded images didn't display at all.
- A form using Verdana font for small text didn't display it's text.
- A login window appeared in the centre of the screen (OK).
After I applied the patch, the embedded images did display - yeeeehaaaa! However, I still have the following problems:
- The icons on the buttonbar now are indented from the left, with about 2mm of button that just wont show my image, with the image now off to the right and pushed upwards (worse than before!)
- The Verdana font still doesn't display, and I've tried adding it to the Registry.dat file to map it to a Java font. I might try using the FORMS60_DEFAULTFONT entry in the registry as mentioned elsewhere here (anyone tried this?)
- The login window is now "jammed" up into the top left of the Applet so that I can't see the input fields and can't move the window as I can't click its title bar (NOT OK).
If anyone has had similar problems, I'd like to hear from you - especially if you found how to fix any of these problems! If you've found that they're "unsolveable", I'd like to know that too.
In the last few years, I've been to SO many Oracle seminars/conferences, etc to hear them saying that WebForms works and is the only enterprise solution, etc. Why then, do they still have cosmetic problems with their product when it comes to things as simple as images on toolbars? I agree with others that they do not appear to be living up to their "hype".

Well, I haven't received any replies, but I have managed to find the cause and some solutions to some of the problems I mentioned.
I'm still having problems with the icons on the buttonbar having a left indent-type effect. Although, I can make it look bearable by modifying the images a bit.
The reason my login dialog was not being centred was to do with the Form using FORMS_MDI_WINDOW to get the width and height dimensions of the window in calculating where to place it. This works fine in the client-server version, but not the WebForms version. It appears to return 0. As this worked fine in the initial pre-patch version, my guess is that it was OK then, but not since Patch 5A was installed. I have worked around this for the time being by testing for dimensions of 0 and using an assumed size of 700x400 by default.
I managed to get the text on the Form using Verdana font to display afterall, although not in Verdana font as it maps to a Java font anyway. The problem wasn't actually with the Verdana font, it was that the canvas and item had large widths specified (so as to force scrollbars) and the text was actually way off to the left where it was not visible within the Java window. After I set the width to a value nearer to the windows width, I could see the text.
Although there can be problems when the window is resized as it doesn't "anchor" the content using the left side and provide scrollbars to go left and right to see all the content. It seems to try and make the field with current focus remain in the window, regardless if it means "hiding" the rest of the canvas. This may be a case of Java's Layout Managers not working the same as Windows?
I hope this helps others with similar problems. And if anyone has any ideas on my outstanding issues, I'd appreciate any emails.

How to put iconic button in forms 10g?

Hi All,
I've created a button with iconic property set to yes and icon file set to open. in forms 10g
But when I run the form, the button appeared without the open icon show!

In webforms, you have to put your icons in a jar file and put the jar file in a directory where Java can read from. the easiest place to put the jar file is the %ORACLE_HOME%/forms/java directory found in your Oracle installation directory
for instance if you have your devsuite installed in C:\devsuite10g put the jar file in C:\devsuite\forms\java.
check out [url http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/pdf/webicons.pdf]Webicons it has both detailed steps to deploy icons in webforms and an easy and fast way to do it.

Icon image formats question

"Icon image formats used for iconic buttons can be .ico files at design time, but must be GIF or JPEG format at runtime. There is no other restriction of this related to deployment."
Read the above statement in an STS test paper and was wondering this is true. How does it work is it that the .ico are automatically converted at runtime or do the other extensions need to exist at runtime.
Incidentially does anyone know if there is a good source for forms icon files hiding out on Oracle.com
Thanks

WebForms usually do not show the icons at design time, but with little configuration we can display them, and since webforms will only show only GIF and PNG files (no JPEG) the design time icons are a bit fuzzy, so you can use .ico files for design time and .gif or .png for runtime.
You must have two sets of icons if you want to view the icons at design time.

Icon (*.ico) files in developer 6i

Hi Guys and Gals,
I have just installed developer 6i on my computer which runs with Windows 98 operating system. Every thing works properly but only one funnything is i found only four or five icon files (.ico) in my harddisk. Then searched in the windows registry to see in which directory these icon files are located, unfortunately i couldn't find out any registry entry for icons. (It's usual - If icon's are not there means why registry entry for icons?.) So now my toolbar buttons are almost naked except save and exit buttons, i don't know from where only these two buttons got icons.
Any one had the same problem?
Please give me a solution.
With regards
Rahman.

Hi,
The icons in webforms have to be in .gif or .jpg format. This is because the webform user interface is handled by java and java uses .gif or .jpg instead of .ico files.
In order to display icons on web, you will have to set the icons path in Registry.dat file. The Registry.dat file is located in ORACLE_HOME\FORMS60\JAVA\ORACLE\FORMS\REGISTRY\.
You need to create a directory mapping for the web listener and add the virtual directory to the 'iconpath' setting in the Registry.dat file.
For eg, if you have the following directory mapping in your web listner,
C:\ORANT\webdb\images\ /images/
then, edit the Registry.dat file as follows,
default.icons.iconpath=/images/
Now, all the icons are searched in C:\ORANT\webdb\images
Note that, when you change the Registry.dat file, you need to stop and restart the Forms server listener in order for the changes to become active.
Hope this helps.
Best Regards,
Deepak Rai

Icons jar file

Hi All,
We want to use a jar file for caching iconic gif files. We have made the jar file and made adjustments in formsweb.cfg.
When starting the application we see, in the jinitiator console, that our jar file is downloaded to the cache.
So far so good.
But after that we still see all the *.gif files downloaded seperatly:
Opening http://server1:1122/dev60icons/bin.gif
Connecting http://server1:1122/dev60icons/bin.gif with no proxy
Have we overlooked anything?
Please help it is very urgent.
Regards,
Joshua

Hi,
Just an Update!!!
From Metalink =>
Note:111923.1
Subject: How Do you know if Caching in Webforms is Working with f60all.jar?
You need to add the Dcache.verbose=true property to the jinitiator control panel, so that it shows you all the messages, that are hidden without this option set.
Explanation
1. Go to Start-> Programs -> jinitiator control panel <jinit version>. You will see a window called Oracle Jinitiator Properties.
2. Click on the Basic tab, in the jinitiator control panel.
3. There check the enable jinitiator and show java console.
4. See the JAVA RUN TIME PARAMETERS, item. The entries you will see as default -mx64m -Dcache.size=20000000 Here add the following parameter to enable debugging caching mechanism. -mx64m -Dcache.size=20000000 Dcache.verbose=true
Click on Apply button and close the jinitiator control panel. Before running the form, close and restart the browser window for changes to take affect. Now when you run the webform, you will see the following output in java console:
Case 1: jcache working
=======================

Note: If it says "cache hit ...", that means that the webform is going to use the local cached jar file.

Want to change Form MDI Window default icon as well as default window icon

Hi,
I am using oracle forms 10g. I need to change the mdi window default icon as well as default window icon of inner form. But i do not know the way. Pls help me.

http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/webutil/webutil.htm
webutil lets you access the client machine from webforms. you'll need to install it on the application server and include the webutil library and object group in the form which will change the MDI window's icon (probably the first form in the application).

Font Windings in WebForms

On metalink is described, that Jinitiator 1.3.1.* does not support the font Windings.
Wingdings In Webforms Are Not Shown
https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/f?p=130:14:1985402736501924295::::p14_database_id,p14_docid,p14_show_header,p14_show_help,p14_black_frame,p14_font:NOT,342622.1,1,1,1,helvetica
Oracle offer two solutions:
1. Copy/paste the characters in the range of U+2700-U+27BF.
2. Use Jinitiator 1.1.8. Keep in mind that this version of Jinitiator is only certified with Forms 6i.
Could anybody explain to me, how to execute the first solution?
As alternative it would be enough, if somebody would know how to show a double arrow up and down. (without Icons)
Thanks in advance.

Slowness in smartlist dropdown in webform

Hi All,
we recently upgraded from 9 3 1 to 11 1 2 2
we have smartlists in the webform and the drop down of the list takes around 5 seconds.
In 9 3 1 it was instantaneous. We don't this problem in SmartView 11 1 2 2
its only the web which is taking time.
can you please guide me towards resolution.
Thanks
Praveen.

This version has a little different GUI in that it loads the hierarchy with arrows at the bottom to tab through groups of 5 or 10. If you want a similar experience to the older version (which might improve the time it takes to render the list), do the following. This isn't answering your core question about speed, this might solve your problem. My experience is that most users prefer the drop down box rather than the new tabbed box (assuming you don't want to search a huge hierarchy for a member).
1. Log in to workspace
2. Open the planning app in question - the setting below is app specific
3. Select file/preferences from the menu
4. Click the planning icon
5. Select the "Display Options Tab"
6. Change the "allow search when number of pages exceeds" option to a very large number
7. You may have log out and log back in to see the change (I can't remember)
Hope this helps.
