Webutil.host and space in filename ....

Hello,
Do someone have found a solution at the problem of space in filename calling whith webutil.host ?
under winxp if I do :
CMD /C start "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\WINWORD.EXE" "C:\travail\COMMENTAIRES DU DOSSIER 5200257".doc
it works well
But do the same in Webutil.host command ... and it fail :<
I see that this was an old problem in post but dunot have found any response ..
tk anyway.

So, i have try all these options and found that webutil seems to cut spaces.
As I have this
LC$Cmd := 'cmd /c start "C:\Program files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\WINWORD.EXE" "c:\travail\COMMENTAIRES DU DOSSIER 5200257.doc"'
WEBUTIL_HOST.Nonblocking( LC$Cmd ) ;
webutil launch :
"C:\Program files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\WINWORD.EXE" "c:\travail\COMMENTAIRES DU DOSSIER 5200257.doc"'
and so it dunot found the document
bcs it make all space -> 1 space
strange !!
perlaps some have got same problem ?

Webutil HOST and NO_SCREEN option

How can I hide the DOS window that open on the client side when I use webutil's HOST command?
I would like to be able to do the same thing as when using the NO_SCREEN option with forms' HOST command.
It is not very nice for the user to see little black windows opening and closing....

WebUtil: oracle.forms.webutil.host.Host bean not found

Hi. This is my first attempt using WebUtil. The following code is in my When-New-Form-Instance trigger:
client_host('N:\TTMS\ITS\vbasic\compiled\MenuUpdate.exe');
This is the error I receive:
oracle.forms.webutil.host.Host bean not found
I've included my formsweb.cfg below for your reference. Note that the application is using the [ttmsmenu] configuration.
Thanks in advance for your help with this problem.

Dumb dumb dumb.
I was running this form out of Form Builder 10g. At some point I changed the Application Server URL (Edit => Preferences => Runtime menus) from:
http://ssbuechl2.div16.ibm.com:8889/forms/frmservlet?config=ttmsmenu
to:
http://ssbuechl2.div16.ibm.com:8889/forms/frmservlet?
So my customized configuration with all the WebUtil references was not being referenced and I was getting the error.
Dumb dumb dumb.

Webutil.host.HostBean not found WEBUTIL_HOST.execute will not work

Hi everyone:
I've got a form. I've attached webtill.pll and subclassed webutil.olb.
In the WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE trigger it does:
client_host('cmd /c cd > arch.txt');
When I execute my form I got the errror:

Could anyone give me some help on it?
Thanks!

Webutil Host bean error

I'm trying to use the webutil.nonblocking procedure, i followed all the steps in the user guide to install the webutil and i attached the library to the form and subclassed the object group, but when running the form i receive this error
oracle.forms.webutil.host.Host bean not found.Webutil_host.execute will not work
can anybody help
regards
lilian

Problem solved ..
check for the following
1- make sure the virtual path in the orion-xml file is correctly set.
2-make sure that the signature of the jacob,jar and frmwebutil.jar is successfully done.
3- check the WebArchive entry is correctly set
hope this will help ..

How to change Host directory location?(Problems with host and ed)

Hi I'm having a problem with the commands Host and Ed. The problem being that when I run them they send back an error saying
SQL>host
/bin/gnome-terminal: No such file or directory
or
SQL> ed
Wrote file /home/joe/Documents/editfile.sql
/bin/gnome-terminal: No such file or directory
The problem is that /bin/gnome-terminal is not the correct location for my terminal directory, /usr/bin/gnome-terminal is. Are there any suggestions how I can be able to change it? I'm running SQLPlus 11.2.0.1.0 and I'm using ElementaryOS(made from Ubuntu). Let me know if there is any other information needed to help fix this.

This is not a SQL or PL/SQL language question and thus off topic. As it is Linux o/s related, I think it is better suited for the Oracle Linux forum space.
My guess is, from the little info posted, that your TERM environment variable is not correctly set.

[vmware] Best way to share files between host and client

Good afternoon!
I have successfully installed VMware server on my machine and set up a virtual machine, powering Windows XP for study issues (emulation via wine does not do the trick for me). The virtual machine runs fast and stable but does not meet my requirements unless I have two issues faced:
First:
How to access a USB pendrive monunted by the host system properly within the client?
Second:
What is the best way to share file system space between host and client? Should I set up a Samba share which is accessible for both host and client or is it save to grant my VM access to my physical hard disc as a whole (using it as a partition)?
Thanks for answers in advance, I have still quite a lot to learn, when it comes to VMs.
Regards,
~cg

Do not setup your VMware to be able to access your physical disk as a whole. This would have you mounting the filesystem twice, corrupting it in the process.
You /can/ setup VMware with Sharing Folders that lets you share your filesystem (either / or just /home or something else) and that is what I would recommend.
As for accessing the pen drive from both operating systems at once, I'd say use the same Sharing Folders method. I always share /mnt so that I can access my cdrom/USB/etc from the vmware OS.
The sharing folders is basically the same as a samba share, but uses vmware's own method (HGFS). Samba is more secure (if you are worried about your VMware OS breaking from it's shell and attacking your real filesystem, which is unlikely). You need the vmware tools installed to make use of it.

WEBUTIL (attach and view files from database) --- Vista vs. XP differences

I have attached the following code. We are using Oracle Application Server 10.1.2.3 patch
My questions are provided following the code.
-- Open the local temporary file --
-- v_COMMAND := 'cmd /c start "" /WAIT "' || v_FULL_FILENAME || '" /w';
v_COMMAND := 'cmd /c start "" /WAIT "' || v_FULL_FILENAME || '"';
v_PROCESS_ID := WEBUTIL_HOST.blocking( v_COMMAND );
v_TEMP := WEBUTIL_HOST.GET_RETURN_CODE( v_PROCESS_ID );
If v_TEMP <> 0 Then
r_ERR_MSG := 'Host command error(' || To_Char( v_TEMP ) || ')';
v_FLAG := WEBUTIL_FILE.DELETE_FILE( v_FULL_FILENAME ) ;
RAISE PANIC;
End if ;
if p_FILE_ACCESS = 'W' then
-- Re-store the modified file in the database --
If Not Webutil_File_Transfer.Client_To_DB ( v_FULL_FILENAME, 'mis_mst.FT_SUP_FILES', 'FILE_DATA',
'FILE_NBR = ' || To_Char( p_FILE_NBR ) ) Then
r_ERR_MSG := 'Error on storing file';
Raise PANIC;
Else
Clear_Message;
-- show_message('File re-stored in the database') ;
End if;
else
Clear_Message;
-- show_message('NOTE: "' || v_FILENAME || '" was not updated in the database' );
end if;
-- Remove the temporary local file --
v_FLAG := WEBUTIL_FILE.DELETE_FILE( v_FULL_FILENAME ) ;
If v_FLAG = FALSE Then
Bell ;
-- show_message( 'Error removing "' || v_FULL_FILENAME || '" from the PC.' );
End if ;
For the most part, we are able to open files in both XP and Vista. We are having a couple of problems with certain file types; specifically, (JPG and ZIP).
We have a workaround, but I would like to know why the problem occurs.
When the user opens a JPG from our application using the Windows Vista client (JPG are associated with Windows Media Player by default), the system will not open the file. The system states that the file doesn't exist. What I think is happening is that Windows Media Player takes awhile to load and before WMP is fully loaded, the file is deleted (the /WAIT command must not fully wait for the command to complete, causing Forms to continue with its code to delete the file). When WMP tries to open the file, the file has already been deleted from the operating system. I have tried the "/WAIT <filename>" and the "/WAIT <filename> /w" parameters.
The workaround is to reassociate the file with MS Paint or Microsoft Office Viewer (instead of Windows Media Player).
Are any of you aware of issues (or differences) in the wait command between Windows XP and Windows Vista?

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!
I believe that will work (adding a sequence number to the end of the filename)!
We do not allow a user to update the file, only view. If a user wants to make a change, they need to remove the existing file (from the database), create a new file (outside of our application), and attach the file in our application (into the database). All updates occur outside of our application - we are not a document authoring system, just a document storage system.
Once again, many thanks on the solution!
Mike

Oracle9i Host and Text_IO Command Issues

We are currently attempting to migrate from Forms6i to Oracle9i Forms. I understand that the current Host and Text_IO commands execute on the application server tier and NOT on the client. To counter the Host command issue the migration documentation suggests using the 'Client Host Command PJC' demo which can be incorporated into a form. However, the only Host command that seems to respond is the 'Notepad' command. I need to use other Host commands. Has anyone actually used the aforementioned 'Client Host PJC' in an Oracle9i form?
Also, I am aware of a utility being developed by Oracle called 'WebUtil' which is suppose to simplify this process. Any idea when this utility will be launched and made available to developers? Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello:
Robin Zimmermann, [email protected] g feng and every one:
I want to integrate a third party report (it is brio's sqr), so i must run sqr from form with host command.
first i install 9i as on window 2000,sqr .manually run sqr on 2000,then call sqr from form
with host command ,it is just work well.then i use web.showdocument push the report to end-user,my goal has get
But when i do the same on aix 5l,host command seems not response .i can only run this command:
echo hello > /tmp/hello.log.
other system command ,such as " chmod 777 /tmp/hello.log " can't execute ,who can help me or some other ideas?

How can i limit the user to enter only A to Z and space in JFormattedText

dear
i want to use JFormatedTextField in two manners
1.Limit the no of charecters.means in a text field only 20 charecters r allowed.
2.and also check the enterd charecter must be a to z and space not other chareters r allowed.
3.same for numbers means 0 to 9 and decimal.
how can i do by using the JFormated TextFilef.

Probably lacks in some cases but what the hell.

Spaces in Filenames

Has anyone had a problem opening audio files in Audition CS5.5 that have multiple consecutive spaces in the file names?
I'm working with a client who has hundreds of audio files with multiple consecutive spaces in the filenames who's transitioning from Cool Edit Pro to Audition CS5.5 and is still in the Audition trial period. He claims that he was originally able to open these files for several days with no problem, but suddenly he finds that when he double-clicks on one of these files, Audition will open but the file will not. No error shows up; Audition behaves as if it were opened without specifying a file.
On the plus side, the files can still be opened from within Audition through the 'open' dialog.
If, as I suspect, no one has run into this problem due to their not using multiple consecutive spaces in filenames, it would be great if some knowledgeable person could rename a file or two to include such spaces and see if the problem shows up.
Thanks,
Dave

I don't want to put words in Charles' mouth but from his phrasing, I think that might be a safe assumption.
However, it's wrth noting that, now that CS6 has been announced for imminent delivery, anyone buying CS5.5 in the meantime gets a free upgrade. From all the posts in here recently, it appears that CS6 is functionally similar to CS5.5 but with FAR more features, some new, some restored from earlier versions.

Why should i add a dot and space to execute this oracle provided script?

When multiple oracle databases are installed in one machine, we need to set the environment variables like ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID before logging into the respective database. For this, oracle provides as script called oraenv.
If we try to execute oraenv like
oraenv   #without a dot and space before the filenamethe file seem to get executed but none of the env variables actually get set.
To execute this script correctly we have to put a dot and a space before the filename like
. oraenvWhat is difference between these two way of executing scipts?
The orenv code
# $Header: oraenv.sh.pp 19-jul-2001.14:02:07 jboyce Exp $ oraenv.sh.pp Copyr (c) 1991 Oracle
# usage: . oraenv
# This routine is used to condition a user's environment for access to
# an ORACLE database. It will prompt for the value of the new SID unless
# the variable ORAENV_ASK is set to NO, in which case it will use the
# current value of ORACLE_SID.
# The character "*" denotes a null SID.
# NOTE:          Due to constraints of the shell in regard to environment
# -----          variables, the command MUST be prefaced with ".". If it
#          is not, then no permanent change in the user's environment

The dot is used to "source" a file. It is commonly used to change your environment variables without forcing you to log out and back in again for the changes to take effect. Check out "source command for Solaris 10" or something similiar for more info.

How do I correct version conflicts between host and RT engine?

I was running LabVIEW RT7.0 on a host PC (WinXP) and PXI-8145 system. I installed LV7.1 and LVRT7.1 on the host. However, the software versions in MAX still report as 7.0
I would like to upgrade to 7.1 on my 8145-RT. I cannot run 7.1 on the host and target the 7.0 RT engine (results in version conflict). Version 7.0 is installed on C:, but 7.1 is installed on D: due to space.
How can I get MAX to recognize my latest version (which should allow my to download it to the PXI)?
Thanks.
Laine

Thank you for the response.
C:\RT Images contains only a single folder for NI-PAL
However, I backed it up and copied the RT Images folder from D:, but still the same effect (MAX thinks 7.0 is the latest LabVIEW version).
D:\RT Images\LabVIEW\7.0 contains subfolders and install scripts (e.g., 7002.rts)
D:\RT Images\LabVIEW\7.1 contains subfolders but no install scripts. Also, there are many fewer files in these subfolders than in the 7.0 folder. I'm worried about trying to manually install from the 7.1 folder.
Any other suggestions? Thanks.
Laine

Capital Letters and spaces when naming files or images

When I first started creating a web page, I was under the impression that I should only use lower case and use an underscore instead of a space. Is this still the case or have things moved on since then.
If not, could somebody please let me know when I should use Capital Letters and spaces.
Does it affect google ratings or any search engine ratings in any way.
Thanks to all who have answered my previous posts. I do not know what I would have done without this forum.
All the best to all and thanks again.
Michael

No change.
Stick to A-Z, a-z, 0-9, hyphen and underscore. Avoid spaces and special characters such as ?, ! and #.
It's a matter of differences in server operating systems. Spaces in filenames can be read differently by different servers and may lead to broken links.
Javascript and some operating systems (e.g. Linux) are case sensitive.
On Linux: MyPic.jpg is a different file to mypic.jpg
In addition, Uppercase/lowercase is partly a question of consistency to avoid user error.
Some users here have inexplicable (to them) errors because Images/image.jpg and images/image.jpg are two different paths.
Choose a simple, logical (and legal) file naming convention (e.g. all lowercase) which you find most comfortable and stick to it at all times.
