WebUtil questions...

Hi,
I'm using WebUtil to have user upload the file from their computers to server, but the file on the server got the date they're uploaded, not the original date they've been created, is there any way I can set it up to keep the original file date?
Another question...how do I hide the client side command window brought up by function call of client_host('cmd /c ...', NO_SCREEN)? NO_SCREEN is working fine with HOST function, but not CLIENT_HOST.
Thanks,
Jess

Hi,
not sure about question 2, but for question one I don't think that this can be changed because it seems to be the defaul behavior when down and uploading files.

  • Webutil and support issues

    Hi,
    1: "Pick a forum", a game for young and old.
    I haven't posted here before because I've traditionally used the Metalink Forms forum. On failing to get problems resolved there, I've occasionally escalated by raising a TAR. A recent TAR concerned Webutil so I was phoned by a very friendly Support analyst who told me they couldn't help (webutil's still beta), and I should post my comments (see below) here in the 'discussion' forum, because "the product managers read them".
    Are the Metalink forums and Discussion forums related in any way? If not why not, and how do I search for help efficiently? (It's only databases, right?) Which forum gives me a better chance of an authoritative answer?
    2: It would be very useful to be able to write blob data to the App Server. Are there any plans to provide "webutil_file_transfer.db_to_AS"? If so, good, when? If not why not?
    3: Webutil support (TAR extract):
    I think Oracle ... has made a mess. We're encouraged to go Forms 9i because client-server is dying, and must not only pay heavily for the privilege but find once we're there that:
    a) forms plus webutil cannot do everything 6i could. YOUR APP MAY NO LONGER WORK.
    b) not all webutil calls work - yet (e.g. delete_file - awaiting a fix at 1.0.3, whenever that's due)
    c) webutil is not supported at 9i
    d) the webutil documentation (webutil_manual.pdf) is substandard - the only way to deduce details of the (misnamed) procedures is to examine the pll directly and guess how to use them.
    e) the only support is via Metalink, and the only response you get there is 'you can use webutil, read the documentation'. Loop to a).
    You could save your users a lot of time (=money) and grief by sticking something similar to the following in all relevant documentation (and passing it on to the Metalink folk):
    Webutil limitations:
    1) Webutil cannot be used to read or write BLOB data directly.
    2) To open a BLOB in an application, you must use webutil's file transfer functions to download to the client (NB NOT the App Server), then use e.g.
    web.show_document(<filename>?mimetype=<whatever>)
    3) To edit a BLOB, the user must download it, make changes then manually
    re-upload.
    Finally I'd like to second some comments in other posts about the webutil file_select and file_open dialogs: they confuse users by behaving in a non-Windows manner, and in my experience are unusably slow when exploring large folders.
    All responses most welcome.
    JD

    Thank you for your comments- maybe I can address your concerns.
    As is stated in the webutil FAQ - webutil "[webutil] is delivered as a preview release and as such is not yet a fully integrated and supported feature of Oracle9i Forms. However, help is provided by the use of the Forms forum."
    So, this is correct forum on which to be posting your webutil question.
    With respect to your second question about moving blob data to the application server - this is not really within the realms of what webutil is targetting since the need to write data from the database to where the Forms runtime is running is the exact same when running client/server or running on the web.... webutil tends to target those differences in moving to a 3 tier architecture.
    a) There are some difference in architecture between c/s and web and as such there are some limitations. These have been well documented and workarounds indicated.
    b) I assume you refer to bug:<Bug:3151674> which is fixed and in the production candidate release which is documented in the webutil FAQ when this will be released.
    c) Correct - it will be formally supported in 10g - please note however that for Forms 10g is regarded as a minor release to 9i (so you gain many benefits for a minor release change)
    d) Please feel free to post specific comments and we can address these (the misnamed procedure has been fixed).
    e) Until production, support is through the forum.
    Regarding the file selection - while you are running on a windows machine you must be aware that the client is actually running in a JVM and so is essentially a Java client. There has been an enhancement request to make this a windows specific dialog.
    Could I also draw your attention to http://otn.oracle.com/oramag/oracle/04-mar/o24news.html which documents the great benefit that webutil has brought to a particular development.

  • Use client_text_io.get_line to get file created date...

    client_text_io.get_line is getting file modified date, is there any way to get the file created date instead?
    thanks,
    Jess

    This is a Forms webutil question. You would be better off asking this question in the Forms proper, not least becaus emembers of the Forms team who actually worked on webutil (Duncan Mills, Frank Nimphius) often answer questions there.
    Cheers, APC

  • Webutil (last question)

    Webutil has procedures that do things like let the user browse their drives and such.
    These procedures aer all java.
    Are there special security considerations? Will users have to change settings on their local machines?
    This would come into play even more, I think, with ORA_FFI which is actually running code located on the client's machine.
    thanks!
    -Joel

    When the user runs a webutil-enabled application they have to accept a java security certificate for webutil. This permits webutil methods to step out of the java sandbox and access the user's PC drives.
    Beyond that, there are no special security considerations.
    Where it gets sticky is in extranet/internet applications, where the user may not trust your software and so may not be prepared to run things. This wasn't a problem with ORA_FFI, because that was pretty much only ever distributed through internal networks.
    Cheers, APC

  • Webutil client_host question

    Hello,
    I have
    CLIENT_HOST('cmd /c START "" "fisier.bat" ');but if that file is located oln C:\forms\4.1.1\imp_ret, how can i specify this path in that command?
    Thanks

    try something like this:
    cmd /c cd /d <your_working_directory>&&<your_command>the +&&+ simply tells the cmd that it needs to execute another command; so the first it does is to change into your working directory ( /d is used if it is on another drive) and after changing the directory it executes your second command.
    cheers

  • 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.

  • ??? Arabic when using client_text_io webutil 10G R2

    Hi everyone,
    i am using A.S 10G R2, when using text_io to pull data fro database and write it to Text on the server, it gives the arabic correct without any corrupt, but when using webutil (client_text_io) the same scenario it gives a corrupt Arabic(question marks).
    i've cleared the Java cash and checked for NLS and fonts with the same results, is there any other config should be done on the A.S or on the webutil configuration??
    Thanks a lot

    well, it already set properly since I am getting the data as it stored in forms and reports (correct display), so what do you think? Is there some other issues should be investigated
    Thanks guys for the great help

    There are 8 bean areas in the form and that matches the 8 ClassNotFound exceptions. My default-web-access.log file states GET /forms90/java/oracle/forms/webutil/clientInfo/GetClientInfo.class HTTP/1.1" 404 188 for all of the classes in the form and I believe a 404 code is not good. I have put all files in place (jacob,webutil), signed all, loaded latest jinitiator, referenced the object in the form and the form actually runs no problem except for the beans. Everything looks good and I am completely stumped at this point.
    Here are some files I have modified that point to the java files:

    Trent, let me answer you questions..
    "Why doesn't someone just please post the answer instead of passing the buck?"
    The error you report is a SYMPTOM of a underlying problem which USUALLY points to the issues documented in the FAQ. We have infact pointed you to a document that specifically outlines the POSSIBLE issues. However, you need to do some investigation - there can be many reasons why this symptom appears...I'm sorry that you think by pointing you to this that you thought we were passing the buck.
    "Your help would be greatly appreciated by myself and countless other oracle developers!" - which is exactly why we documented this in the FAQ....by posting it in the FAQ it leads people to all the common issues and is searchable on other forums as well.
    A final point - this forum is a self help group; a community of like minded people, many of who spend much valuable time helping others; if people are taking the time to help answer your questions its certainly not an indication of buck passing...they have infact gone out of their way to help..
    Hope that helps clarify and I hope the document helps solve your issues.

  • Webutil is not working well in the browser

    hi everybody
    I have a problem in my Forms. First, I was doing Form and I wanted to add picture for item and I want the picture to be saved
    in database through pressing on button and a browser open and select the image to be saved in database. and if I want to later on
    when I select the item the picture automatically come up with the item_id.
    a later on I knew that I need to config the Oracle to Webutil + Jacob and also I knew that the Forms 10G 2R comes with webutil so I just
    need to config Jacob in my system and after a long searching on the net and forums and reading I couldn't solve my problems
    after following the configuration I reached to point which I stuck in and I don't know how to solve it.
    so After assiging the two Jar files in under Dos I couldn't done them in success
    here is the way I did:
    sign_webutil.bat C:\DevSuiteHome_1\forms\java\frmwebutil.jar
    sign_webutil.bat C:\DevSuiteHome_1\forms\java\jacob.jar
    I get this error after signing the jar files and that mean it's not configured well from the first time by showing error.
    C:\DevSuiteHome_2\forms\webutil>sign_webutil.bat c:\devsuitehome_2\forms\java\ja
    cob.jar
    Generating a self signing certificate for key=webutil2...
    keytool error: java.lang.Exception: Key pair not generated, alias <webutil2> alr
    eady exists
    There were warnings or errors while generating a self signing certificate. Pleas
    e review them.

    'jarsigner' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
    operable program or batch file.
    There were warnings or errors while signing the jar. Please review them.
    I tried to check some forms in a browser but still I get error asigned from Microsoft Windows like "Oracle Forms Runform has stopped working" and I press on Close the program and another Oracle error come up "FRM-92101:There was a failure in the Forms Server during startup. This could happen due to invalid configuration. Please look into the web-server log file for details.
    Systems I'm using might help in identifing and solving the problem I'm facing.
    * I'm using Vista Ultimate edition.
    *Oracle Database 10G 2R.
    *Oracle Developer Suite Forms 10G 2R Version 10.1.2.0.2
    * OCJ4 Instance is working well and I can work with any Forms in a browser in best way except when I have Forms that configured to retrieve Image or save Image.
    * I tried using webutil Demo and it's not helping me still the problem there because the problem in configuring the Jar files
    * I use JInitiator 1.3.1.22 do you think this might cause a problem in Vista so if I use JInitiator 1.3.1.28 will fix the problem?.
    Here is a link has some picture that I'm facing and some files that I modified, might help in solving my problem.
    http://rapidshare.com/files/240717866/My_files.rar.html
    Hopefully this information can identify my problem. Thank you very much for helping me.

    Thanks man for your help. I have some question regarding your code
    1. create table img_table (id number not null , img blob, primary key (id))
    I create this table in SQL and this is clear step to me.
    ================================
    2. Create database block based on this table accepting all defaults.
    How can I create database block based on the table I mean where can I do this?.
    ===============================
    3. Add non database item FILE_NAME to input filename to read image from.
    4. Add a button with when-button-pressed trigger:
    READ_IMAGE_FILE(:file_name, '', 'img_table.img');
    What you mean here to ass non database item. I'll put this in button under when button pressed triger, is that right or you mean something else?.
    ===============================
    5. Run form, enter 1 into ID item, full name of some image into FILE_NAME and press button.
    create table image(
    id number not null ,
    IMG BLOB
    create a form
    select a image item
    then select a button and a text box(test box name is file_name nondatabase item)
    in text box give the path of your image and just click the button your image is saved in datbase.
    write this code on when-button-press trigger
    READ_IMAGE_FILE(:file_name, '', 'img_table.img');
    Still not clear to me how I can implement this code. Could you please send to me a ready Form and upload it to rapidshare and put the link here so I can idenitfy how code will be in the Form and I'll create the table in database. Thanks a lot man.
    By the way, I noticed something to let webutil to work I think I can't sign the frmwebutil.jar & Jacob.jar under Dos because of Jarsigner and I get this info: 'jarsigner' is not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file.
    if you know or anybody knows why jarsigner is not recognized.
    Thanks

  • Webutil Problem in Oracle Forms 10g

    Hi All,
    been reading various posts over time on the forums but this is the first time for me to post here.
    My name is george an i am a novice forms developer.(very novice i would say )
    i am in the process of altering an existing form, and i am trying to add webutil functionality to the form.
    i am succesfull getting webutil to run but i get some weired behaviour from the form, and in more detail i get the 40200 error.
    the error only appears after the usage of webutil in the form and this prevents the user from entering a query string in a text item (actually it is when the user tries to type in the text box that oracle throws the 40200).
    i am able to get around this problem, by moving the WEBUTIL DATA BLOCK at the end of the DATA BLOCKS tree. The form once more works as it should (queries etc) only that the webutil window and canvas are displayed on the top of my form (i.e webutil about form) and the user has to click OK to get rid of it.
    i have tried to hide the webutil window, the webutil canvas but i am unsuccesful.
    any ideas of how to keep the webutil data block at the end of the data block tree but not appearing in front of the form ??
    i hope i did not confuse you with my explanation.
    thank you,
    George

    Oracle Forms is Heirarchical. It uses the order in which items appear in the Object Navigator as the "Default" navigation order. Items like WebUtil should always appear after other objects (such as Data Blocks, Canvases and Windows). Making sure objects are listed in the right order in the Object Navigator is typically all you need to do, however, you could use the Form Module First Navigation Data Block property to override the default heirarchy (as MLBrown suggests) as well as write code in a When-New-Form-Instance trigger to Hide the WebUtil canvases and direct the form to the desired starting point (first navigation block/item).
    I personally, prefer to use the order of objects in the Object Navigator since this does not require any lines of code or the setting of properties.
    On a side note, it is always good to post your Forms version (eg: 10.1.2.0.2 versus 10g) when posting a Forms question. :)

  • Open bat file on client machine using webutil

    Hi all.
    I'm on devsuite 10g.
    I want to run a bat file on client machine using client_host function of webutil.
    I have tried first to execute the bat file with mouse double-click in order to check if it is ok, and it works.
    Now I want to execute this file from my form using webutil.
    Here is my code:
    --> with this code I select a file from client machine
    Declare
         LC$Fichier Varchar2(1000):=null ;
         PC$Filtre Varchar2(2000) := '|All files|*.*|' ;
    Begin
         LC$Fichier := WEBUTIL_FILE.FILE_OPEN_DIALOG
         null,
         PC$Filtre,
         'Seleziona un file da caricare'
    If LC$Fichier is not null Then
    :output.apri_file := LC$Fichier ;
    End if ;
    End ;
    --> with this code I execute the file that I have opened
    declare
         cmd varchar2(30000) := null;
    BEGIN
         Cmd := 'cmd /c start "" "' || :output.apri_file || '"' ;
    CLIENT_HOST(cmd);
    END;
    When I execute my form I have this error:
    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: ....folder of file opened.
    Can anyone help me to solve this problem??
    Thanks in advance,
    Fabrizio

    Hi Tony.
    I have tried to run my bat file with double-click and everything is OK.
    When you say the DOS window opens for few second, is your batch file being executed?? did you see the results??
    The answer in NO for both of your questions.
    If I try to drag and drop the file I have error.
    How can I attach an image to this post, so that you can see the error??
    Thanks,
    FabrizioThis seems like a directory or OS level permission issue on the batch file, What is the error you got when you tried drag and drop the batch file in an DOS window???
    I think you need to upload the image to a site and use the markup for the image, include the full URL of the uploaded file between ! (exclamation marks) something like ! http://../post.gif ! without the spaces.

  • WebUtil's configuration problem

    I have the following problem:
    I installed WebLogic Server 10.3.5, Fusion Middleware (Forms/Reports) 11.1.2 and Oracle XE 11g.
    My environment works correctly, when application don't uses webutil.
    When I open an application that uses WebUtil, happens the following error: "FRM-40735: WHEN-CUSTOM-ITEM-EVENT trigger raised unhandled exception ORA-06502."
    Another error too occurs:
    In the button "Browse" I use client_get_file_name, but the following error is displayed: "oracle.forms.webutil.file.FileFunctions bean not found. WEBUTIL_FILE.FILE_SELECTION_DIALOG_INT will not work".
    To configuring the webutil, I used the book Oracle Forms Developer WebUtil User's Guide Release 1.0.6. My webutil is 1.0.6.
    Any help is welcome
    thanks!

    Just a quick note, questions related to Oracle Forms as well as Oracle Forms and WebUtil integration should be posted in the Oracle Forms section of Oracle Forums: Forms You will receive a quicker response if you post Oracle Forms-related questions in that forum location.
    Anyway, WebUtil 1.0.6 is not supported to use with Oracle Forms and Reports 11gR2. Oracle Forms 11gR2 comes with WebUtil 11.1.2.x (the version which is supported for Forms 11gR2) which the both webutil.olb and webutil.pll are deployed in %ORACLE_HOME%\forms ($ORACLE_HOME/forms in Unix) where ORACLE_HOME is the Oracle Home for your Fusion Middleware installation. Also, if you haven't downloaded it already, you will also need JACOB version 1.14.3 (the version of JACOB supported for Oracle Forms 11gR2) which can be downloaded at http://sourceforge.net/projects/jacob-project/files/jacob-project/1.14.3/jacob-1.14.3.zip/download.
    After JACOB is downloaded, you will need to copy the jacob.jar to %ORACLE_HOME%\forms\java. Using Oracle Support Note 1076945.1, you will need to sign jacob.jar using the sign_webutil.bat script (located in %ORACLE_HOME%\forms\templates\scripts). The note contains steps on how to set up the batch script as well as how to run the script to sign jacob.jar. IMPORTANT: Make sure your JDK is in your PATH environment variable and you run Command Prompt as an administrator; otherwise, jar signing errors may occur.
    Next, place jacob-1.14.3-x86.dll into %ORACLE_HOME%\forms\webutil\win32 and jacob-1.14.3-x64.dll into %ORACLE_HOME%\forms\webutil\win64.
    After that, make sure that the WebUtil schema has been installed into your database. If not, make sure to run the create_webutil_db.sql script (located in %ORACLE_HOME%\forms) as the DB user who will be the owner of the WebUtil schema. Once the DB is ready, compile webutil.pll using Forms Builder or Forms Compiler. Once it is compiled, open up webutil.cfg located in %ORACLE_INSTANCE%\config\FormsComponent\forms\server. Scroll to the bottom and change the following settings:
    transfer.database.enabled=TRUE
    transfer.appsrv.enabled=TRUE
    transfer.appsrv.workAreaRoot=
    transfer.appsrv.accessControl=FALSE
    After you save and close the file, you should be able to run any of your Oracle Forms which use WebUtil without a problem. Oracle Support note 1093985.1 contains more information about setting up WebUtil. Hope this helps!
    Thanks,
    Scott

  • 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.
