WebUtil.NonBlocking_with_Callback

Is there any documentation with examples of how to use WebUtil.NonBlocking_with_Callback? I have tried creating a local variable of type "process_id", that didn't compile. What kind of callback trigger does this refer to? Is this a user-defined form-level trigger? I am using WebUtil successfully in other areas by guessing how to use it, but I am stumped here. Thanks, in advance.

Hello,
Yes, it is a user-defined form-level trigger.

NonBlocking_With_Callback

Can anyone please provide a clear explanation/Usage of the
Function "NonBlocking_With_Callback" in the WebUtil_Host package?
I looked at the WebUtil online documentation. It has very little
information on its usage.
It would be great if someone who has used it could give an example.

Hello,
Yes, it is a user-defined form-level trigger.

WebUtil: CLIENT_HOST arg #2

According to the PROCEDURE BODY of CLIENT_HOST WebUtil's attached library, there is a second argument (KWD in number).
Does anyone know what this does? The Oracle documentation I have seen does not address this argument.
Also: Is there a way to launch a client-side application asynchronously so that the user does not have to exit the client app in order to free-up the oracle screen which launched it?
Thanks for any insight.

Hello,
The Webutil HOST package contains all you need:
FUNCTION Host(cmd in VARCHAR2) return PLS_INTEGER;
PROCEDURE Host(cmd in VARCHAR2);
FUNCTION Blocking(cmd in VARCHAR2) return PROCESS_ID;
PROCEDURE Blocking(cmd in VARCHAR2);
FUNCTION NonBlocking(cmd in VARCHAR2)return PROCESS_ID;
PROCEDURE NonBlocking(cmd in VARCHAR2);
FUNCTION NonBlocking_With_Callback(cmd in VARCHAR2, callbackTrigger in VARCHAR2)return PROCESS_ID;As you can see, it contains a NonBlocking function ;o)

Problems with Webutil Client_Host

Hi,
We are working on Forms10g on Win XP Environment. I have installed Webutil on m/c. On When Button Pressed trigger I am trying to use Client_Host command to execute a batch file. Upon hitting the button it displays message saying " Please Acknowledge " and then it displays Error Message " 40735:WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger raised unhandled exception ORA-06503". Any help in this regard is highly appreciated.
Regards

ORA-06503: PL/SQL: Function returned without value
Cause: A call to a PL/SQL function completed, but no RETURN statement
was executed.
Just a wild guess, but maybe this will help:
DECLARE
pid WEBUTIL_HOST.PROCESS_ID;
BEGIN
pid := WEBUTIL_HOST.NONBLOCKING_WITH_CALLBACK('CMD /C NOTEPAD '||fname,'HOST_CALLBACK');
END;

Thank You - WebUtil

Duncan,
First I would like to say Thanks, for you and your team for developing webutil, it is a blessing in disguise for me. I have been trying to figure out how to create a web form that will allow the user to ftp a file to our file server. After beating my head with trying different ways to accomplish a form that would be very user friendly while not having the server hosed down via memory. Taking time to go to the June conference and learning about webutil, well let's just say - webutil has made it possible. So, many, many thanks!
Of course, there is a couple questions for all of the WEBUTIL gurus:
Is it possible to show the progress bar while the file is being ftp'd? I am using client_host to acitvate the ftp command.
Is their a way to hide/minimize the windows cmd box? I see the NO_SCREEN option isn't valid per doc.
To validate the file transfer was successfully, I get the filesize from the client and once the file is ftp'd I will grab the filesize on the server. Is there somekind of call/proc that will let me know my host command was successful?
Thanks,
Mary Santry

1) Progress Bar - if you make the host asynchronous with callback you can at least show some sort of Working indicator - I don't think you can do a progress bar as such as that would need communication between the upload program and the form. It's possible to do but not with WebUtil - you'd need a bespoke FTP bean for that
2)You can try calling a .PIF file which starts the comd shell minimised
3) Use WEBUTIL_HOST. NonBlocking_With_Callback() as I suggested for (1). Then when the host cammand finishes a trigger will be called in the form and you can use the GET_RETURN_CODE and GET_STANDARD_ERRROR / OUTPUT functions to check the status of the job.

Error while compiling forms10g in Unix with webutil features.

Hi,
I developed a form called test.fmb and attached webutil.pll. change all text_io to client_text_io.
Copied the file to unix and tried to compile, it says
CLIENT_TEXT_IO.FILE_TYPE must be declared.
(Please note that webutil.pll has been compiled and .plx file is generated).
Please help.
Thanks.

Dear all,
i have the following problem,

Windows server 2003 Enterprise edition
(both the infra and middle tier on the same machine), and we wanted to configure the webutil package with this installation for runtime usage, we met all the configuration steps, and we met all the platform security privilages(windows privilages),but..
when we try to open the form that uses this package, we found two problems, the form didn't open at all and the following log written to the java console which indicates that there is a problem while loading the webutil beans(last few lines)

WUO-709: Unable to get Property: Open == Forms application using Webutil

Hi everyone,
I have configured Webutil and tested a demo application for loading excel data into a forms application. The application works just fine. Here is the code:

The issue comes when I try to supply filename and path (here, c:\test\test.xls) through a file open dialog. I tried each of these:
1.
filename := client_get_file_name
(directory_name => 'C:\'
,file_name => 'test'|| '.xls'
,file_filter => 'Excel (*.xls)|*.xls|'
,message => 'Select client side filename where App Server file will be saved'
,dialog_type => OPEN_FILE
,select_file => TRUE
2.
filename := Client_Get_File_Name(directory_name => 'C:\'
,file_name => null
,file_filter => null
,message => null
,dialog_type => null
,select_file => null
3.
filename := client_get_file_name ('','','','Select a file to Upload ',null,TRUE);
On using the above, I DO get a file open box. However, after browsing and selecting a file, I am getting the error message:
WUO-709 [OleFunctions.get_obj_property_args()] Unable to get Property: Open; Exception com.jacob.com.ComFailException: Can't map name to dispid: Open
I have checked the documentation on 'WUO-709' but cannot seem to figure out why it's not working.
Sorry for the lengthy description. Would greatly appreciate help on this.
- Amit

I forgot to mention that in the modified code, I am supplying 'filename' as:
filename := client_get_file_name ('','','','Select a file to Upload ',null,TRUE);
args := Client_OLE2.CREATE_ARGLIST;
Client_OLE2.add_arg(args, filename);
Thanks,
Amit

After upgrading AS to run Webutil, Reports Server is no longer found

Recently we update de configuration of Application Server to use the WebUtil features (FileTransfer, etc) but some clients can not view the reports (the PDF files generated and the previous html page where are passed de parameters to generate de PDF file paramform=yes <--- I mean this parameteter passed to RUN_REPORT_OBJECT_PROC )
The curious thing is that in NetScape it Works fine, but in MS Internet Explorer does not.
Initially we thought that was the problem, a configuration in the client, but after formatting the PC, the problem persists.
In the webutils log (after enable this capabilitiy) does not show anything abnormal:
192.168.0.244:desarrollo: 2006-sep-27 12:19:46.967 WUT[setProperty()] Setting property WUC_SRV_LOGGING to 2

192.168.0.244:desarrollo: 2006-sep-27 12:19:47.248 WUT[getProperty()] Getting
In a similar topic we read that it could be a problem with the reports classpath, but why webutils configuration works in some clients and with others does not?
In the RUN_REPORT_OBJECT_PROC function instead using relative address for the reports servlet we changed for a complete adress, I mean
RUN_REPORT_OBJECT_PROC(repid,
'/reports/rwservlet')
replaced with:
RUN_REPORT_OBJECT_PROC(repid,
'http://ias.website/reports/rwservlet')
But the problem persists (we have the reports and forms services in the same server)
and after debugging the RUN_REPORT_OBJECT_PROC function, in this line
rep_status := report_object_status(report_message);
report_object_status returns null
Why happends this?
Could you help us? What information need to be posted to this? what else we need to do?
We configured webutils as mentioned in the Oracle® Forms Developer
WebUtil User’s Guide
Release 1.0.6
We're using MS Windows 2003 Server, Oracle AS 10g and Oracle DB 10g
The RUN_REPORT_OBJECT_PROC function (procedure) is the same what is mentioned in
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/pdf/10g/frmrepparamform.pdf
and the same that worked fine for a long time ago.

We added the following lines to webutiljini.htm
For IE
<PARAM NAME="BROWSER" VALUE="InternetExplorer">
<PARAM NAME="MAYSCRIPT" VALUE="TRUE">
For NetScape:
BROWSER="Netscape"
MAYSCRIPT="true"
And adding the frmwebutil.jar to the Reports Server ClassPath the problem was solved

Trying to use webutil - Works in development, will not work on app server.

I am having a similar problem. I have followed all the instructions from above.
I run my code in the developer and it runs fine. If I run my code from the application server I get locked up.

The first problem I see is that you are using an old version of WebUtil, which is not supported for use with Forms 10.1.2.3 and is probably the cause of the problem.
RegisterWebUtil - Loading WebUtil Version 1.0.6
The correct versions of frmwebutil.jar and webutil.pll are applied to Developer Suite installations and can be copied to Application Server. If you do not have an iDS installation, you can install the latest Forms Bundle patch which includes the correct WebUtil files. Refer to Patch ID 9593176 and Note 1188127.1. Be sure to review the ReadMe included with the patch.
The second problem is that you are using Jinitiator. Jinitiator has been obsolete for a long time. However, if you have some reason why you must use it, I would recommend that you at least get the last version released (1.3.1.30). This can be downloaded from within MyOracleSupport (account required) using Patch ID 7410076. If you do not have access to MyOracleSupport and you are using Forms 10.1.2.3, then you can use JRE6 (1.6.0_37). Do not attempt to use JRE7
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre6u37-downloads-1859589.html
You would need to install the 32bit version: jre-6u37-windows-i586.exe

How to run multiple DOS commands from a single Webutil Client_Host session?

Hello all,
I have a requirement where I need to create an interface with SVN from Forms for basic checkin-checkout of files.
So, I've been trying to use webutil client_host to open a command line session and issue svn commands.
For svn, sometimes I need to give multiple commands like change to a particular directory and then run an svn command.
But client_host takes in only one command at a time and I'm unable to issue a series of DOS commands to perform
a particular task.
Is there a way to do this?
Pls suggest.
Regards,
Sam

First your original question... You can put more than one DOS command on a single line, simply separate each command with an ampersand (&). For example:
mkdir c:\abc & cd abc & dir*
Regarding your concerns about performance, well that would depend on exactly what you mean. Using CLIENT_HOST (or HOST on the server) simply opens a shell (DOS in this case) then passes your command to it. The performance of performing this action really isn't measurable. Basically you are just pressing a button and you should get a near immediate action. As for the performance of executing each command, that has nothing to do with Forms. Once the command is passed to the shell, the rest is a function of the shell and whatever command you passed.
Having said that, if you were to write something sloppy like a loop (in pl/sql) which called CLIENT_HOST lots of times repeatedly, then yes there would be a performance problem because the pushing of the button will cause an exchange to and from the server and each cycle in the loop will do the same.
So the answer to how performance is impacted will depend on what exactly you need to accomplish. If it is a single call to CLIENT_HOST, this should be fine.

Webutil download file from app server

i am calling a report from forms. report uses text_io to write delimited data to app server disk. report info also displays in browser using web.show_document. when i call report from forms i run report, use web.show_document to display in browser and then call webutil to download file to client form appserver. sequence would be in a manner as below:
run_report_object (report_id);
when report = finished then
web.show_document;
end if;
webutil.download_file (filename);
the problem is this: the web.show_document code runs but while this is running the webutil code also is running. but the report has not completed yet so when webutil runs looking for the file the report is supposed to write it cannot find it since the report has not completed. web.show_document fires off a browser session and then immediately runs the webutil code. but i dont want the webutil code to run until the report has successfully completed. does anyone know how to integrate these two functions into one step instead of running the report and allowing it to complete and then executing a separate step to download the file.
thank you

You might want to try this code snippet....
--- code to set parameters, declare variables etc...
l_report_return := run_report_object(l_report_id);
l_report_status := report_object_status(l_report_return);
WHILE l_report_status in ('RUNNING','OPENING_REPORT','ENQUEUED') LOOP
     l_report_status := report_object_status(l_report_return);
END LOOP;
IF l_report_status = 'FINISHED' THEN
     /*Display report in the browser*/
     web.show_document(......);
ELSE
     message('Error when running report ');
END IF;

The error does not look like a webutil client side problem - it looks more like a server side issue - perhaps the runtime not being able to find the webutil.pll.
Check your FORMS90_PATH in the webutil.env file and make sure it's not too long (>255 chars) if it is split it and use ORACLE_PATH as well.
