Webutil demo problems - WHEN-TIMER-EXPIRED error

Hi there,
I have just installed the 10.1.2 forms no problems. I then downloaded the demo of webutil from OTN and cannot get it to run properly. Can anyone help.
I initially had to rename the webutil.pll (i renamed to webutil_lib.pll as recommended in an earlier forum) file to overcome an initial error and now I can at least see the runtime canvas. I dropped and re-attached the attached libraray for this pll file (Is this all I have to do?)
The problem is I immediately get the error FRM-40735:WHEN-TIMER-EXPIRED trigger raised unhandled exception ORA-06508 in the console. This error continues for every event I do that has a trigger associated, ie changing tabs or pressing buttons, the only difference in the error message is the trigger name.
I can see the canvas and various items on the tab sheet but none of the triggers that refernce webutil appear to work.
I presume I have missed something simple, possibly when I renamed the .pll file.
Any ideas.
Doug

Dougo,
I checked our bug database for this topic and couldn't find anything reported. Can you file a TAR with support to have them analyzing your problem. (metalink.oracle.com)

Hi Nadeem,
Change these two lines of code:
:control.showdate := TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'DD-MONTH-YYYY');
:control.showtime := TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'HH24-MI-SS AM');
Try with replace the above with select statement like below.
select TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'DD-MONTH-YYYY'), TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'HH24-MI-SS AM') INTO :control.showdate, :control.showtime From dual;

Timer --what you type gets lost on other forms when timer expires

I am using a timer that works fine on this one form. The problem lies you move to a different form that does not have a timer and start typing and if the timer fires at that time while you are typing the focus moves to the form with the timer but it appears that the other form is still there infront.But what you type gets lost at the moment the timer expires.
I am using go_block on when timer expired form.
Any good way t handle this ?

My problem - when syncing and error messages comes up: iTunes could not sync calendars to the iPhone because an error occurred while margin data." I've tried turning the phone off and back on, & tried both USB ports but get the same thing. What can I do next since it doesn't give me even one clue as to what the error would be?

Before I started to resync calendars one by one as suggested in the troubleshooting article, I remembered something that came up in a sync when I first attempted : a 'which one do you want to keep' message about a repeating calendar event, which came up with three options, one from Calendar, and two from iCal on the phone. I deleted that event, then went through the calendar resync one by one, and all seems OK now.
In Music there is a way to find 'ghost' items that show up as grayed-out on the menus, so that you can try to reassociate or delete them. It would be nice to have a similar way to work with Calendar!
Thanks for pointing me to the right article.

When-timer-expired

Hi everyone,
This is my first time using this trigger and i dont really catch what to do to make it fire. Arwind advices me to use it to make the valus of the item blink. The way i see it it should work but i guess i'm missing something...could u plz help me find what i'm missing here.
Here is the only code i have for the trigger.
DECLARE
id_item ITEM;
timerid TIMER := FIND_TIMER('BLINK');
BEGIN
if :prix_en_vigueur is not null then
/*--- Make the item blink ---*/
id_item := find_item('PRIX_EN_VIGUEUR');
set_timer(timerid, 1000, REPEAT);
if get_item_property('id_item',DISPLAYED) = 'PROPERTY_TRUE' then
set_item_property(Id_item,
DISPLAYED,PROPERTY_FALSE);
else
set_item_property(Id_item, DISPLAYED,PROPERTY_TRUE);
end if;
end if;
END;
Does it have something to do with the set_timer or delete_timer and if so how should i use them.
Thanx in advance for ur replies.
null

You have the when-timer-expired defined at form level. In it you should first have a call to get_application_property(TIMER_NAME), that returns the name of the timer that has made the trigger fire, depending on which you perform what you have to do under those circumstances.
How to make it fire? In whatever trigger you find appropriate you call set_timer, that starts the countdown for the number of milisecs you specify that finally generates the "Timer-Expired" event which makes the trigger fire.

GO_FORM when TIMER-EXPIRED

Just want to know if I am doing something wrong
or if it's another feature of Forms. I have a
GO_FORM within an IF statement in the (repeating)
WHEN-TIMER-EXPIRED trigger. It all goes well until
the IF statement evaluates to a value that makes
GO_FORM the case, the repeating timer seems to go
dead after GO_FORM switches the focus to the
specified form. Any comments? Thanks in advance.

Hi Eugeniy,
The original WBP trigger has already the following code:
go_item('bijz.click_datum');
do_key('list_values');
The section where copy ('0','GLOBAL.save_mouse_record'); is mentioned is part of the code that Metalink offered me, look at:
Note 266535.1 How to call to a calender window against an unbound item via an LOV button.doc

Regarding When-timer-expired trigger

Hi,
My requirement is to display time .From my understanding i think every time
when-timer-expired shuttle between client and middle tier for this purpose for
every expiry of time .This i feel degrades the performance.
Is there any workaround available so that the database time is fetched for the first
time and thereafter refreshing could takeplace in the client-side
Thanks in advance

When-Timer-Expired not firing if LOV is open

In my form I have a when-timer-expired trigger that kicks the user out of the form if there is no activity for one minute. But if the LOV is open the when-timer-expired trigger is not firing.
Thanks,

yeah !
if the form starts a db-function or a host-command or a lov - then the form isn't able to do something else parallel to this...
e.g. :
WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED :
IF show_lov () THEN
END IF;
if the lov works different, then you have parallel working program units. In this case :
a WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED and a WHEN-TIMER-EXPIRED
and this is today impossible in Forms

WHEN TIME EXPIRED

I NEED TO RUN WHEN-TIME-EXPIRED
AFTER PRESS PTN
BUT DONT KNOW HOW

This sound like a Oracle Forms question.

When-timer-expired hit the cursor position

Some of our forms sometimes have timers running, to monitor
progress of this and that. We've found that if the timer
expires when you're typing in a form field, there's a tendency
for the cursor to momentarily move to the beginning of the field
then jump back to roughly where it had been. If you're just
typing away without paying attention, this can be messy.
Specifically, I put a few '0' characters at the beginning of a
large field, then hit '1' and let it go to autorepeat. When the
trigger fires, the insert cursor goes to a wait cursor for a
bit, then back. I'll find a few '1' characters at the beginning
of the field, and the insert cursor is now pointing the same
number of characters from the end of the field. My testing
indicates that the more time spent in the trigger, the more
likely the problem is to occur. Also, it happens more if
you're in a different form than the one with the timer.
does anyone know how to handle this situation
i m using when_timer_expired trigger with folllowing code
declare
v_timer varchar2(40);
begin
v_timer:=get_application_Property(timer_name);
if v_timer='TIMER_TIME' then
:CONTROL.onscreen:=to_char(sysdate,'HH12:mi:ss AM');
end if;
end;

You could use JDAPI to make bulk changes to your Forms ...
Re: Reading items/blocks/LOVs in the Object Navigator
h2. UPDATE:
Take a look at metalink note 45615.1 - Focus And Timer Behavior In Multiple Form Applications
It seems you need to keep destroying and recreating the timer as you navigate from Form to Form ..

Time Machine will not complete a system backup and terminates with "Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while copying files to the backup volume. This follows a problem when Time machne terminated when the volume was almost full.

On 11/1/2011, Time Machine (TM) terminated with an error message I did not record. I noted that the drive was full and decided to do a separate complete bootable system backup using Carbon Copy Clone (CCC), before clearing the TM volume and trying to start it over clean. Part way through the full system backup CCC put up a message that there was a Physical Problem "Library/Application Support/Techtool Protection/McIntosh HD/Directory Backup 2011-11-01-16-28-16". That was about the time that TM malfunctioned, so I assumed they were related. After starting CCC over a couple of times, and getting the same error message, I let it go through to completion of the backup, which took three or four hours. I then ran tests using Disk Utility and verified that there was nothing physically wrong with both the internal hard drive and the TM volume. I also erased and reformatted the TM volume. However, every time I started Time Machine, it would record a few GB and terminate with "Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while copying files to the backup volume". I restarted the computer with no change in results. Note that prior to starting the CCC backup, I "Repaired Permissions", "zapped the PRAM" and "re-set the SMC", hoping to have a clean bootable system on the backup. I ran Techtool and no problems were found.
I'm running this on an Intel iMac under 10.5.8 and recording to a 500GB My Passport drive. My hard drive is only about half full at 246 GB. My assessment is that something happened at 16-28-16 on 11/1/2001 to screwup the Backup Directory in the file at "Library/Application Support/Techtool Protection/McIntosh HD/Directory Backup 2011-11-01-16-28-16". My question is, how do I fix it?
I had just completed writing everything above here, explaining the problems I had been encountering for the past 24 hours. I had the Time Machine window standing open on the desktop where I could see it, having recentlycleared it after the last termination. As I was proofing what I had written, I looked at the window and noted that the clock had started a new run for a full back up, since all prior efforts had failed and the TM volume was empty. As I watched and waited for it to fail again, as it had been doing at about 13 GB, it kept going and going until it just finished a complete backup, about 4.5 hours later, with my having done nothing. Now my question would have to be - what could possiibly have happened to make it perform this way? It will be interesting to see if it continue to operate normally, or if the problem will return, in a later backup run.

You should not keep those files for long, and probably shouldn't back them up (if you need them at all -- since you do regular backups, I'm doubtful just how worthwhile that feature is).
"Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while copying files to the backup volume".
One of Apple's maddeningly incomplete messages. Most likely, there's a problem with a file (quite possibly the one CCC didn't like). See #C3 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting for details and instructions on finding and fixing it.
If you continue running the Directory Protection app, be sure to exclude your Time Machine drive from it (as it will just take up lots of room, and won't help repair your backups if there's a problem); and exclude the folders it creates from being backed-up by Time Machine (as they'll create large backups, and you probably can't use the backed-up folders anyway), per #10 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.

TS4522 What is the problem when I get error code 0 when trying to burn a DVD. It stops around 60-some %.

I have tried twice to burn a DVD, and both times I get error code 0 at about 60-some % of the transcoding. I haven't had any trouble burning DVDs before now.

I had a friend with similar problem, not sure of cause. Happened when sharing to Apple device as well.
Apple said to delete all files in Render folder. We did not try that as-
Problem changed slightly for us, in that Share to 'Apple device 720' got to 50% and pretended to have completed its operation, but no file found in Project Share folder.
We found then, if the timeline clips where highlighted it would share, where previously it had repeatedly failed.
Hope that helps
