Webutil reattachment

hi all,
i have been using webutil for several weeks now. after getting everything configured almost everything works perfectly.
the only remaining problem is that when i open a form in form builder and recompile it for the first time after rebooting i get the following:
wuc-015: your form must contain the following bean for this function to be available. oracle.forms.webutil.file.filefunctions
after reattaching the library, re-subclassing the object group (both from which i dutifully remove the paths), and regenerate the form everything works fine again.
a few notes about our environment:
form builder 9.0.4.0.19
jinitiator 1.3.1.18
application server 9.0.4
portal 9.0.4.1.0
i am calling the form from portal using a url like this:
http://ora-21.sw.nos.myco.com/forms90/f90servlet?config=dcbs1&separateframe=false&form=cbs1_eac_process.fmx&height=600&width=800
the object library and pll are in the same directory as the *.fmb and *.fmx.
anybody have any ideas?
thanks,
curtis

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

Note:
the form deployed under UNIX on Application Server
Thanks

From ORA-06508 is seems like WEBUTIL.pll is not found in the runtime-environment.
Possible solutions:
Check if the WEBUTIL.pll (or plx) is on the path where the fmx-File is placed.
If not, check the FORMS90_PATH in your env-File (normally default.env) (you didn't mention your forms-Version, may also be FORMS60_PATH) and if the WEBUTIL.pll is in that path, if not adjust the env-file.
If its still not working, check if WEBUTIL.pll is attached including the full Path (unattach WEBUTIL.pll and reattach it without the path)
Last hint: Case-sensitivity: If you attach in lowercase-letters and library is in uppercase on unix-system the library will not be found at runtime. You won't see how the the pll was attached, best method is to unattach library and reattach it in correct case.
Another remark:
The DDE-Exception seem to be useless, because you don't use DDE (and i would not work for its not available under unix).
Hope this helps

Facing problem in using webutil

hello,
i have oracle developer suite 10g (9.0.4), which have not webutil capabilities,
i download the webutil 1.0.6, and manually made all the required chages,but facing problem in using all the fuctions, firstly it return value or string exception (ora-06502) and after that it always return NO_data_found(01403) exception,
Please! help on this
regards,
sidharth

In order for us to help you will need to provide a lot more information. However, I would start with this:
1. Have you compile the webutil.pll file in to a .plx?
2. Is the PLX included in the FORMSxx_PATH?
3. Have you attached the WebUtil objects (from the Object Library) to your form?
4. If you are developing your form on Windows and trying to run it on Unix, have you recompiled the PLL and FMB?
5. If you sub-classed the WebUtil objects in to your form, the webutil OLB will need to be in the FORMSxx_PATH
Try using the WebUtil Demo form:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/webutil/Webutil_demo.zip
Read the WebUtil doc. It may be necessary to detach and reattach the WebUtil Library. Then execute a COMPILE_ALL. Refer to the WebUtil doc Section 5.1 "Adding The Required Objects"
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/webutil/web_util.pdf

Attached library webutil added on opening form in forms dev 10.1.2.0.2

Using forms developer 10.1.2.0.2. Converted forms from 6i. Everything is working as expected, however having an issue with Forms developer. I have added the webutil.olb to the forms developer object libraries. I have not attached the webutil object group to my specific form. I have not attached the webutil.pll to my specific form in the attached library. However, when I open the form, forms developer automatically attaches webutil.pll to my specific form's attached library. This happens on every form but just on one machine. I have tried deleting the library, recompiling, saving, closing, reopening and it is still there. If anyone can provide some insight, I would appreciate it.

Solved - We had another attached library that referenced something that was using webutil. When we removed that attached library and webutil.pll, then we did not see webutil.pll reattach itself upon opening the form in forms builder. It is odd that it is smart enough (or mean enough) to try to help you out by including things you don't want. Just thought I would share on the small chance anyone else has run across this.

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.

Our Forms_90 Path is
FORMS90_PATH=/AppsTop/FRMTOP/app/9.0.4/forms90:/AppsTop/FRMTOP/app/9.0.4/pi:/AppsTop/FRMTOP/app/9.0.4/webutil:/AppsTop/FRMTOP/app/9.0.4/webutil/forms
I just copied webutil.pll from
:/AppsTop/FRMTOP/app/9.0.4/webutil/forms/webutil.pll to
my local directory C:\webutil.pll
I attached the C:\webutil.pll under Attached Libraries in test.fmb in my own PC.
Please advice.
Thanks,
Mano.

Error in loading WebUtil package

Dear all,
i have the following problem,
we have install the application server on one machine
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

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 upload data from excel to form using webutil

Hi,
In the sample provided by Oracle
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/webutil/howto_ole.html
Note 247606.1 How to Copy Records From a Form Into Excel
It shown the methods of how to copy data from form to excel but is there any sample to provide the step on how to read the cell from excel into Form in 10g.

declare
args client_ole2.list_type;
application client_ole2.obj_type;
vworkbooks client_ole2.obj_type;
vdoc     client_ole2.obj_type;
vworksheet     client_ole2.obj_type;
vrange               client_ole2.obj_type;
begin
-- create app object
application := client_ole2.create_obj('Excel.Application');
client_OLE2.SET_PROPERTY(application, 'Visible','True');
-- get workbooks object
vworkbooks := client_ole2.get_obj_property(application, 'Workbooks');
-- and open a file
args := client_ole2.create_arglist;
client_ole2.ADD_ARG(args, 'c:\tp_ae.xls');
vdoc :=client_ole2.INVOKE_OBJ(vworkbooks,'Open',args);
client_ole2.destroy_arglist(args);
-- get a worksheet object
-- for this to work you need to know the sheet name or its index
args := client_ole2.create_arglist;
client_ole2.ADD_ARG(args, 1); <-- name or index
vworksheet := client_ole2.get_obj_property(vdoc,'Worksheets',args);
client_ole2.destroy_arglist(args);
-- get a range object which in this case is just a cell
-- for this to work you need to know the cell coordinates
args := client_ole2.create_arglist;
client_ole2.ADD_ARG(args, 'B6');
vrange := client_ole2.get_obj_property(vworksheet,'Range',args);
client_ole2.destroy_arglist(args);
-- and here you get the value
message(client_ole2.get_char_property(vrange,'Value'));
-- release objects
client_ole2.release_obj(vrange);
client_ole2.release_obj(vworksheet);
client_ole2.release_obj(vdoc);
client_ole2.release_obj(vworkbooks);
client_ole2.release_obj(application);
end;

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.

How to edit a file into webutil dialog box?

Hello, I have a webutil dialog box to open a file on a server in Win2003.
I want edit and save the changes in a file into dialog box, but i don't have this function like windows operation system.
Can i customize the webutil dialog box and add this function ?

GP

As I said, the Webutil open/save dialog functions will only allow you to work with the client machine.
You can use the file_transfert_AS_to_client() Webutil function to get the file on the client machine then edit it, then use the file_transfert.client_to_AS() function to upload the new file on the Application Server.
In my article about the Oracle Forms 10g release 2 : Demos, Tips and Techniques,
http://sheikyerbouti.developpez.com/tutoforms10g/tutoforms10g.htm
you could find an "open file dialog" like form sample able to display the Server's directories.(paragraph: 2.4.3)
Have a try !
