What am I missing with Form builder ?

Hi everyone,
I am new to Form builder and to developing web applications. I am trying to use Form Builder to create a form that will read records from my Ora DB. Just for testing the tool. I get to run the form and see it on my browser but no record is shown unless I execute a query (which should be all records in the column). Even then I need to use the next and previous arrow (in top of the form)in order to see the records. My item is a column name from the DB and is represented as a Combo Box which I want it to give me all records when I click the combo box down-arrow.
What am I missing? Do I need to create a select query somewhere on the item?
Thanks for any suggestions,
cip

Maybe you should familiarise yourself with how Forms works before leaping in to the complicated stuff. Build a module with one tabular base table block using the Data Block Wizard and the Layout Wizard. Give it a WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE trigger that does
execute_query;When you've got that working, change the trigger to
enter_query;Now your Form starts in QUERY mode and you can use Query By Example to selectively retrieve data.

Failure FRM-32029 while compiling Form with Forms Builder

Hi.
I have problem. I compile a form with Forms Builder from DevSuiteHome and get the failure:
"FRM-32029 Window WINDOW not found; canvas-section CG$LOVCAN" (I translate it, it´s not the original terms).
I google and search the forum and oracle page, but found nothing about this failure. In Forms-Builder itself is also nothing recorded about this problem.
Do someone know more about this error?
Thanks.

Thanks inolau for answering.
The problem is, that I don´t have a documentation about the sourcecode and these forms worked under from 6i to 9i upgraded Oracle AS and DB servers. So the problem is not only "where is the WINDOW", than more "why doesn´t works it under a new 10g version and how get it working?".
That´s why I was searching for this not recorded error.
And I´m worry about that searching for the part of the sourcecode where I found the "WINDOW" is like looking for a needle in a haystack. ;)

What am I missing with VPN enforcement?

I'm making sense of how to implement the VPN Enforcement feature and would like to hear from others who have set it up.
The way I understand it to work is this...
User connects to the internet (eg with a laptop using a 3G card). Once it detects the internet connection, it switches to the Location specified in the "Switch To" setting on the VPN Enforcement page.
And I have it prompting to connect to the VPN client at this point.
What is puzzling me is... what's the point?
It doesn't seem to make a difference whether the user connects to the VPN or not. The Location in the Switch To setting can have certain restrictions but once connected to the VPN, the Location doesn't change. So, before or after connection to the VPN the same restrictions are in place.
Perhaps I'm missing something in the way this is meant to work.
How has anyone else set this up?
Ideally what I want to happen is....
User connects to the internet - so has enough restrictions (or un-restrictions) to allow this. This would include connecting at an airport or hotel where you connect via a web page. Usually this would be with a 3G modem
then the user is forced to connect to their VPN (in our case we have a dongle and log in. So, I can cause the login screen to appear on VPN switching)
Only allow internet access as long as the VPN is connected. And block access if it is not.
Any thoughts are happily received, thanks
Alison

Here is a brief description of what needs to be done in order for VPN Enforcement to work.
1) The "Unknown" location should have a "stateful" firewall assigned. This allows the endpoint to see all APs and also authenticate to them.
2) The VPN Location should have an "all closed" firewall. This location will be used to switch to once the endpoint gains internet connection (the ZSC checks this automatically). You have to setup a single ACL rule
that points to the IP address of your VPN concentrator (so now the only accessible service/device is the VPN)
3) In the "VPN Enforcement" settings, enter the IP address of the VPN concentrator, the trigger location (at a minimum this is the Unknown), and "Switch to" locations (this is the location you set up in step 2)
5) Again, in "VPN Enforcement" configure the settings needed to make your VPN client to connect "automagically" to the VPN concentrator (client path, and optionally any arguments).
Please note that internet connectivity triggers the enforcement. If someone connects to an AP or wired network that requires authentication (such as you see at a coffee house or hotel), then the Internet connectivity fails.
Hope this clarifies,
Daniel

Excellent - thanks Indy
That is pretty much the same as what I'm setting up. Would you mind
expanding on how you've set this up....I've put your original comments
in blue
1) Users log in and change their location to 'Wired/Wireless/3G'.
I know our users won't manually switch Locations themselves.
I've got this set up to detect the Unknown location which is anything
that is away from the office wired network.
2) Once they have connected to a secure wifi hotspot or their vodafone
3g dongle is connected the location automatically switches to 'Secure
VPN'.
Once they are on the internet, ourLcoation does switch from
"Unknown" to "Away from the Office" (or "VPN" in your system). Can I
ask you what your Firewall settings are on your VPN location? Are there
any restrictions? eg I had it All Blocked but of course it stopped it
connecting the VPN client so I've now got it set to All Stateful.
3) After a few seconds the Cisco VPN Client automatically loads and the
user has to connect via that to get internet connectivity otherwise they
get nothing.
I have this too - the client VPN launches and the user is prompted
to login. But what if they don't? what stops the internet working for
them if they didn't log in? When you say "otherwise they get nothing" -
what is it that prevents them getting to the internet if they have not
connected to the VPN. This is exactly what I'm trying to set up so I'm
very happy to hear that you've done it. What is puzzling me is how to
have it blocking internet access unless it is through the VPN.
I think its purpose is to make sure all internet traffic goes through
your VPN and firewalls, settings, etc etc...
Exactly what I want ! Thanks - I've just got to figure out how to
do it.
Hope that helps,
That helped a lot.

Testdrive with Form builder / Adobe designer ?

Hello All
A couple of q's about the Adobe solution.
1) I have just installed the linux version of SAP NetWeaver 04 testdrive SR1.
According to documentation Web AS 6.40 shuld have a new tool in ABAP Workbench called the Form Builder, but I can't find it anywhere in my testdrive version ?
2) Prerequisites should be Adobe Designer is installed with the SAP front end.
Is this Adobe Designer integrated in new SAPgui versions or how must I install it ?
Best regards
Thomas Madsen Nielsen

Thank you Markus
What version of SAPgui do I need for the ABAP version of this ?
I have installed NW 04 for linux and MaxDB.
On windows client I have installed
1)SAPgui 620 Patch level 32.
2) Java 2 SDK, SE v1.4.2_06
3) From the NW 04 DVD i installed SAP NetWeaver Developer studio 2.0.4 and in the installation proces I also selected "install Forms Design Tool Adobe designer", but according to Markus Meisl this is not relevant if I want to use transaction SFP?
When i enter the Form Builder in SAPgui I am able to open a form (ie. FP_TEST_01) but when i click on the layout tab I get a dump:
MESSAGE_TYPE_X
Program Name CL_GUI_CFW====================CP
Include CL_GUI_CFW====================CM002
Row 23
Module type (METHOD)
Module Name FLUSH
Message id 'CDNP' type 'X' number 006 raising CNTL_ERROR.
Any idea what I can do? My own guess is that I need a new SAPgui ?

Open a form with space on the path with form builder from a batch

Hi,
I cannot open a form from a batch on Windows if the absolute path contains spaces.
For example, if I try to open a form in "C:\" from cmd with C:\ORANT\bin\ifbld60.exe C:\Form.fmb, I have no problem, if I try to open a form in "C:\Documents and Settings" with C:\ORANT\bin\ifbld60.exe "C:\Documents and Settings\Form.fmb" or C:\ORANT\bin\ifbld60.exe C:\Documents and Settings\Form.fmb, I have some dialog with info and the error FRM-90927 and form builder doesn't start.

Why is that you want to open a FMB in Form Builder with a Batch file?
Is it that your application has only one FMB and that you work with only one FMB all the time?
Cheers,
PS: And if you must open the FMB through a batch file then look up the Form Builder Help for "Command Line options". It is an excellent resource.

Problem with NLS_CALENDAR=PERSIAN with Form Builder 6i

Dear All,
I have some problem with the Persian calendar which is known for oracle. I have set NLS_CALENDAR=Persian in DB (10g) and Registry of Form Builder. Some days at the calendar when convert from Gregorian to Persian will be decrease (1 day ) for example 13870112 convert to 13870111 ( 1387 It is a leap year and begins from 20-MAR-2008) or some days will be increase for example 13861222 convert to 13861223.
These days are correct in SQL*PLUS but are incorrect in Form Builder.
Moreover, some days are shown like ########## in form builder.
13870101--------> #########
13860101--------> #########
And at the end, when I insert a new record from Form Builder the actual date is 1 day greater in DB.
Please Help me to find out how can I solve this problem.
Regards,
Iman

Getting FRM-18108 and FRM-10102 when opening a form with Form Builder

Hi,
we're migrating from Forms 6i to Forms 10g. If I try to open a form in Form Builder 10g, FRM-18108 and FRM-10102 are appearing. I checked registry entries on my XP-System (FORMS90_PATH) and everything seems to be similar to the old Forms environment.
Any ideas ?
Thanks,
Markus

Hello,
FRM-18108: Failed to load the following objects.
Cause:  Forms could not load the foreign references specified.
Action:  Verify that all the referenced forms and object libraries are present.
FRM-10102: Cannot attach PL/SQL library %s.
This library attachment will be lost if the module is saved.
Cause:  The library you specified is locked by other users, the library name is invalid, or the library module could have been moved from or not exist in the FORMS90_PATH directory list.
Action:  Check the library name and try again later.

Locking Problem with Forms Builder 6i/Oracle 9i

It appears that when form builder has a form open, all of the objects in the form are locked exclusively. This is causing loads of problems when trying to alter objects. Runtime doesn't seem to have this problem. Is this a known bug or is there a way to keep builder from obtaining exclusive locks.

We have the same problem. It seems that if we use drop and create and not create or replace statments we don't get the locks. This is not a solution but perhaps a workaround.
We tried to upgrade the database to 9.0.1.3.1 but that didn't help.

What am I missing with Ask to Buy?

I set up Family Sharing on all my family's devices, but now that I'm using it, I fail to see the point of Ask to Buy. Whenever my son tries to make a purchase on his iPod, he is asked to enter the iTunes account password before the Ask to Buy notification pops up. Which means he has to come to me to have the password entered, tap "Ask", then I have to approve the purchase.
It seems like the only thing it did was add in an extra "Ask" step, as before I was already doing the "enter password" step for whatever he wanted to get.
What benefit am I not seeing here?

Maybe you should familiarise yourself with how Forms works before leaping in to the complicated stuff. Build a module with one tabular base table block using the Data Block Wizard and the Layout Wizard. Give it a WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE trigger that does
execute_query;When you've got that working, change the trigger to

Copy access data into oracle with form builder 9i

hello
i need to copy/import data and tables from an MS access database into oracle 9i database. the situation is each time i login to my forms applicatin i will need to do that. any idea pls...
the access db is frequently updated. so when i login into my forms application it needs to be reimport the data from access db. can any1 pls help me?

To my opinion, there are 3 potential approaches :
1. rewrite the application, that data are stored directly in the oracle database
or the program writes flat files somewhere to the file system which are able getting
imported from the target instance on daily basis or job driven;
2. The "Access-driven approach" : link oracle tables into the MS-Access application
using an ODBC-connection and build a macro in Access which is exporting the stuff to
the target instance; in order to do so, the Oracle Client and ODBC-Drivers needs to
get installed on the PC where MS-Access is started to start the exportation process
(which is probably yours).
You may then create tables in the target instance and link them from within Access
using ODBC as the datasource
3. The "Oracle driven approach". explained in detail here, never tried it, but maybe
worth a look
http://www.orafaq.com/node/60
Basically, install the Oracle Software on a PC, configure an ODBC-Connection and start a
Listener there;
The target instance (which may no run on a UNIX system) is now able to commuincate
with the local running listener on your PC which itself is instantiating a connection to
the Access "Database" using the ODBC-Connection.
In this way, your PC acts as a database server from the Oracle Net point of view.
In theory, this could even work, depending on the ability to connect from the
instance server directly to the given IP of your PC (Security ?? Hmmmz)

How to make fields with Forms Builder "read only"

Hello,
I'd like to make the fields "date" and "user" in the news form read only so that the user cannot edit them. Is this possible and how. ?
Andreas

Yes its possible. You use a label instead of a field. But you need to refer to datascheme in your label.
Example: you drag drop your field on the work page.
You look in its attributes and copy the part datascheme reference.
You remove the field and drop a label instead on the workfield. You refer to this datascheme instead of the fixed caption.

Frederik
