Webutil and Forms 10g

Hi,
I'm currently converting a forms 6.0 application to forms 10g. My application has the file upload and download functionality. I researched the webutil 9i beta version, but my infrastructure team would not allow this to be installed in the 10g app server production environment because it's not supported.
I looked into the OC4J fileupload and filedownload javabean that comes with the oracle 10g iDS installation. Is webutil built on these javabeans?
What are other alternatives I could use that I don't know about? Please help.
Last question, when will webutil released to production? I desparately need this utility since I don't know too much about JavaBean coding and tie to forms.
Thanks,
Jennifer

Hi,
the problem is that Forms Developer tries to acces steh bean, which requires ojsputil.jar to be set in the Forms90_Builder_Classpath. However, even then it wont work because the oracle.jsp.webutil.fileaccess class doesn't implement the IView interface or extends teh VBean class. You could use it with the FBean package which works with Beans that don't implement the Forms interfaces. However, the oracle.jsp.webutil.fileaccess class seems to be a JSP class which doesn't work at all in Forms.
The best way to approach bean development for Forms is to read this whitepaper
http://otn.oracle.com/products/forms/pdf/forms_in_java_world.pdf
and then install the Forms 10g demos and look at the source code. We do our best to comment the demo source so that you know what the code does.

Where i find all the step to
how to download and install webutil in FORMS 10G 10.1.2.0.2
i DON'T FIND NOTHING OF VERY GOOD TO FOLLOW !!!

hi
u do not need to install any webutil in R2 u just need to configure few things.
please read the following notes and try to configure.
How to get up and running with WebUtil 1.06 included with Oracle Developer Suite 10.1.2.0.2 on a win32 platform
Solution
Assuming a fresh "Complete" install of Oracle Developer Suite 10.1.2.0.2,
here are steps to get a small test form running, using WebUtil 1.06.
Note: [OraHome] is used as an alias for your real oDS ORACLE_HOME.
Feel free to copy this note to a text editor, and do a global find/replace on
[OraHome] with your actual value (no trailing slash). Then it is easy to
copy/paste actual commands to be executed from the note copy.
1) Download http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/jacob-project/jacob_18.zip
and extract to a temporary staging area. Do not attempt to use 1.7 or 1.9.
2) Copy or move jacob.jar and jacob.dll
[JacobStage] is the folder where you extracted Jacob, and will end in ...\jacob_18
     cd [JacobStage]
     copy jacob.jar [OraHome]\forms\java\.
     copy jacob.dll [OraHome]\forms\webutil\.
The Jacob staging area is no longer needed, and may be deleted.
3) Sign frmwebutil.jar and jacob.jar
Open a DOS command prompt.
Add [OraHome]\jdk\bin to the PATH:
     set PATH=[OraHome]\jdk\bin;%PATH%
Sign the files, and check the output for success:
     [OraHome]\forms\webutil\sign_webutil [OraHome]\forms\java\frmwebutil.jar
     [OraHome]\forms\webutil\sign_webutil [OraHome]\forms\java\jacob.jar
4) If you already have a schema in your RDBMS which contains the WebUtil stored code,
you may skip this step. Otherwise,
Create a schema to hold the WebUtil stored code, and privileges needed to
connect and create a stored package. Schema name "WEBUTIL" is recommended
for no reason other than consistency over the user base.
Open [OraHome]\forms\create_webutil_db.sql in a text editor, and delete or comment
out the EXIT statement, to be able to see whether the objects were created witout
errors.
Start SQL*Plus as SYSTEM, and issue:
     CREATE USER webutil IDENTIFIED BY [password]
     DEFAULT TABLESPACE users
     TEMPORARY TABLESPACE temp;
     GRANT CONNECT, CREATE PROCEDURE, CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM TO webutil;
     CONNECT webutil/[password]@[connectstring]
     @[OraHome]\forms\create_webutil_db.sql
     -- Inspect SQL*Plus output for errors, and then
     CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM webutil_db FOR webutil.webutil_db;
Reconnect as SYSTEM, and issue:
     grant execute on webutil_db to public;
5) Modify [OraHome]\forms\server\default.env, and append [OraHome]\jdk\jre\lib\rt.jar
to the CLASSPATH entry.
6) Start the OC4J instance
7) Start Forms Builder and connect to a schema in the RDBMS used in step (4).
Open webutil.pll, do a "Compile ALL" (shift-Control-K), and generate to PLX (Control-T).
It is important to generate the PLX, to avoid the FRM-40039 discussed in
Note 303682.1
If the PLX is not generated, the Webutil.pll library would have to be attached with
full path information to all forms wishing to use WebUtil. This is NOT recommended.
8) Create a new FMB.
Open webutil.olb, and Subclass (not Copy) the Webutil object to the form.
There is no need to Subclass the WebutilConfig object.
Attach the Webutil.pll Library, and remove the path.
Add an ON-LOGON trigger with the code
         NULL;
to avoid having to connect to an RDBMS (optional).
Create a new button on a new canvas, with the code
         show_webutil_information (TRUE);
in a WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger.
Compile the FMB to FMX, after doing a Compile-All (Shift-Control-K).
9) Under Edit->Preferences->Runtime in Forms Builder, click on "Reset to Default" if
the "Application Server URL" is empty.
Then append "?config=webutil" at the end, so you end up with a URL of the form
      http://server:port/forms/frmservlet?config=webutil
10) Run your form.

Problem running reports using webutil in Forms 10g

This is about 3 dll files related to webutil functionality in forms 10g
d2kwut60.dll
jacob.dll
JNIsharedstubs.dll
I am running report which is using webutil functionality. So when I try to run report, our application server try to download above dlls to my local machine on path C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin
Due to security policy, our company doesn't allow write access to folder C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin and hence report is failing to run.
We need solution for this issue so that we should be able to run report successfully?
Details as below:
Application server : Forms 10g - 10.1.2.3 ( Using Sun jre and not jinitiator). We do not want to use jinitiator
Browser - IE8

Curious, typically Java will store these "temporary" files in the cache not in the BIN directory. Unfortunately, the only way I know to change the location of the CACHE (temporary files) directory is through the Java Control Panel applet. Open the Control Panel and start the Java Control Panel. On the General tab click the Settings... button in the Temporary Internet Files section. In the Location section - click the Change button which will bring up a "Temporary Files Location" dialog box. Simply navigate to a directory that your security policy will allow files to be written too.
The ideal solution would be to push this type of change out to all of your users rather than have to manually change each workstation. I don't know if there is a way to push this change out, but you can check the Java website for more information.
Hope this helps,

Webutil for Forms 10g - Apple Mac Client - Save File Dialog Box

I am trying to setup a button on a 10g Form to download a file from an Oracle 10g database. The button uses Webutil package and the client_get_file_name function to ask for a file name and directory to place the file via file transfer from the database.
Using any Windows client, when you press the button the form brings up a Dialog box for the file name. Everything works fine in Windows.
But when I use a Apple Mac client, I get this message when I click on the button:
“oracle.forms.webutil.file.FileFunctions bean not found. WEBUTIL_FILE.FILE_SELECTION_DIALOG_INT will not work.”
I can only assume this maybe because the MAC doesn't use the DLL files that are associated with Webutil, like jacob.dll, etc. ???
Does anybody know of how to get a dialog box to appear on a Mac client from Forms 10g?

The Windows java console says:
RegisterWebUtil - Load WebUtil Version 10.1.2.0
Loaded image:..
proxyHost=null
proxyPort=null
connectMode=HTTP,native
Forms Applet version 10.1.2.0
When I checked the Mac's java console, I don't get the "RegisterWebUtil" I get:
proxyHost=null
proxyPort=0
connectMode=HTTP, native.
Forms Applet version is : 10.1.2.0
Then I get the error messages below..
What might cause those?

Solaris notebook with db, ias and forms 10g in a browser

our customer has solaris notebooks.
He wants to run a oracle 9i oder 10g -> no problem.
He wants to run an IAS or Oracle AS on the notebook -> no problem.
And then he wants to use a browser, in which he shows the running form -> what solution do we have ?
JInitiator for solaris isn't available, as I know.
Mozilla/Firefox under Solaris has problems with native Java from an IAS, as I know...
is there a solution for this customer? It's not possible to go away from solaris.

IE 7 isn't certified against Forms 10g
is it important for you to use version 7 ?

Recognizing Forms 6i and Forms 10g

Hi,
I have a folder which has a mix of forms from 6i and some from 10g (which was migrated). But since all these are in the same folder, is there any way I can know before even opening the form whether its a 6i form or 10g. I dont want to open any 6i form in the 10g version cause some of them are not supposed to be migrated. Please let me know how to open my forms cause I dont know which form is which version.
Thanks.

And don't ever open a form from the 6i folder with Forms 10g. Next thing you know, you will save the form from the Forms Builder, and that will render it impossible to open from 6i.
Since I still develop in 6i, I make all my changes there, and save the form. Then if I want to see it run in 10g, I have a Windows DOS .bat command file that copies the fmb to the Forms 10g folder, then calls the 10g compiler. I rarely even open the Forms 10g Builder.

10g WebUtil and Forms 9i?

Thanks.

It's not supported by Oracle but it can work with 9i.

WebUtil and Forms 9i

HI Gentlemen,
I have downloaded and installed WebUtil exactly as stated in the PDF document, with the Additional Installation Steps, too.
However, when I start a very simple form which only has a non-DB block with a text item and a button, I always get the following:
WUC-015: Your Form must contain the following Bean for this function to be available:
oracle.forms.webutil.browser.BrowserFunctions
Help states that dragging the record group into the form would be beneficial. Sorry, it is not. The error persists.
Could anyone of you help me?
Thanks, regards from
Miklos HERBOLY

HI Grant,
Thank you for your reply. I consulted the FAQ and came to the following:
1. CLASSPATH etc. is OK
2. The object group has been dragged onto the form
3. WEBUTIL_HIDDEN_WINDOW is present, but it does not contain any beans. How do beans get into a window? This may be a mistake and is obscure to me
4. Attaching the library and OLB subclassing have been performed in the proper order. However, if I call show_webutil_information(false) in a PRE-FORM trigger, and the OLB is SUBCLASSED, it still does display that information window. When I COPY the OLB, as done in the Webutil demo, it's OK.
And webutil_separatewindow.seticon(...) keeps failing with WUC-015.
Where am I wrong?
Thank you in advance, kind regards from
Miklos HERBOLY

Pop-up windows with webutil and Forms

Hello,
We are using webutil for file transfer : webutil_file.xxx
But with oracle forms, it call a black windows to execute the command.
How to hide this windows?

The pop-up is for a look up table. So for example they can
choose from a drop menu and if your choice is not there then they
can select add to look up and a pop-up open and allows then to
add/edit or delete fields in the look up table. I want to have the
pop-up window adjust dynamically to the size of the look-up
list....make sense?

Forms 6i and Forms 10g

Hi, I have hundreds of forms. Most of them are in 6i and few of them have been changed to 10g. Now when I look at a form from my windows explorer, is there any way to know which version this form is being used in. For eg. I have a test.fmb and I can see it in my C drive in windows explorer. But by looking at the fmb, I dont come to know if its in 6i version or already been converted to 10g. I need to know this so that by mistake I dont open a 6i version to 10g. Cause once I open it in 10g, I wont be able to open it back in 6i and it will be a problem in case I dont hv the old original saved.
Pls advise?? Thanks.

Hi ,
I don't think that you can do that in the way you want.....
However , you can use the forms compiler of 6i and try to compile each form.....
If a form has been compiled in 6i the it'll be compiled again... otherwise it won't..and by noticing the error log files created you can distinguish these files.... !!!!!

Simon

SSO and Form 10g, Setting RAD of OID for DB users identified externally

Please Help!
Current environment:
- All users were created with identified externally in Database (OPS$)
- SSO was setup correctly according to OID admin guide Ch 43 and SSO admin guide ch 8 for App10g. (user login orasso without seeing basic auth/sso login form)
- DB parameters:
remote_os_authent=TRUE
os_authent_prefix=' '
issues:
- set ssoDynamicResourceCreate = true
When user hit the form link, i.e. http://host:port/forms90/f90servlet?config=test&form=appwelcome
it redirects to http://host:7777/oiddas/ui/oracle/ldap/das/mypage/AppCreateResourceInfo?...
where it shows Resource Name TEST and prompts username/password/database
when user inputs window logon /password/database value (same as in form6i)
it returns ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied.
- set ssoDynamicResourceCreate = false
manually set RAD for the end user (I am not sure if I am doing this correctly):
Name = test
TYPE = oracledb
username = (blank)
password = (blank)
datebase = prod
When enduser hits the form link, it returns ORA-01017.... same errors.
Any ideas how to trouble shoot and configure RAD for users with OPS$ auth?
thank you in advance!
Kan

Thank you for your input!
This is how our current production is setup that users use os authent (OPS$) to access forms/reports 6i. I'm just trying to migrate it to app10g environment.
I did configure SSO with WNA, it works fine. Any users can access NON-DB connected forms/reports. Only when forms/reports require DB conn, users who
have db password can access them with one click. But users identified externally will keep seeing Oracle Logon and Ora-01017 after authent into MidTier.
Setup RAI with one real db user account is not ideal since there are 1000+ OS authent users who have different database roles. Turn off the OPS$ and setup dummy password for 1000+ users may be the last solution.
