What are Built In's in Oracle forms. Are they like built in trigggers. how r they different from triggers which r also bulit in.
thanks

a trigger is something, which runs, when an event fires.
a built-in is like a function or procedure, which helps you doing your work.
e.g.
go_block ('myBlock'); - navigates to the block
execute_query - starts a query
exit_form -ends the form
you can's compare triggers and built-ins. They are totally different.
In a trigger you can use built-ins to establish a functionality

In Oracle Forms, purpose of the Built-in Validate

Can any one please explain clearly (if possible with example) the purpose of the Built-in Validate in Oracle Forms..?
Thanks..

item scope will trigger the current item validation process. record scope will do the same but for all items of the record, block scope will trigger all validations in the curent block and form scope will execute every validation processes for the entire form.
I don't know how I can be more clear than that.

Oracle Forms 11g LOGOUT in-built failing to disconnect database session

Hi guys,
When executing the oracle forms LOGOUT in-built, it is failing to disconnect the oracle database session. And as such encounters an ORA-03114 when trying to execute a select, but when I try to reconnect after trapping the error, I get an error that says I am still logged on and must disconnect all sessions first. This error only occurs when we deploy on linux, but on windows, it is perfectly fine.
Please assist, this is very urgent.

http://www.4shared.com/file/o5ETXcZ4/PWDSETUP.html
http://www.4shared.com/file/89JOb0Xm/p1_dept_2.html
Download these two files and rename p1_dept_2.fmb to p1_dept.fmb
1. Compile the forms and deploy on linux,
2. Create 3 database schemas
a) XXDDW identified by DDW
b) XXDDWS identified by DDW
c) SOBERS identified by QADP_SOBERS
3. In your formsweb config, in the setup for your launch, use p1_dept.fmx as you entry form and also default login should be set as XXDDW
4. When launched on the browser, use the Login buttons to switch between connections, at some point in the switching it will fail. Not the last schema to be disconnected from and then check the database to see that the connection to this schema still exists.

What is the latest version of oracle forms?

I need to migrate oracle forms from 6i version to the latest version. What is the latest verison for forms?.
Also when we say oracle 11i forms does that mean we compile 6i/9i forms with 11i database?

Hi,
Right now i am working on oracle 6i developer.
The oracle backend database has been upgraded to 10G 10.2.0.3, now we want to upgrade the oracle developer (forms and reports) as well.
Which version is suitable with the mentioned oracle backend version.
Is the current verion of forms 10gR2 (10.1.2) compatible and suitable?
Anyhelp would be appreciated

Can any Oracle Forms developer show what a master-details form is?

I created a master-detail form in APEX. However, the MD form really made me laugh because I needed to SAVE the master record and the detail tabular form separately. There was one SAVE button associated with the master record and one SAVE button associated with the detail tabular form. A master-detail form should let the user to SAVE the master record and the detail tabular form together - one SAVE button saves everything. This is what we can easily do in Oracle Forms - one master and several details (tabbed). I am just frustrated with all the current thin-client technologies including JDeveloper. I cannot simply tell the users that they need to nagviate between pages many times to finish data entry. It doesn't make sense to have the user requirements to fit the current "limited" technologies.

Not quite Forms functionality but master detail is shown in the Southwind demo on htmldb.oracle.com studio link.
The details need the master id, and hence the save is done prior creating details.
Forms of course relied on top down processing such that the header would be inserted before the details would be.
I know its not exactly what your looking for but it might be the best you can get..
Daryl...
ah those are the days of forms 2.3 and what were they called exit triggers ..

Oracle Forms New Features - Your input. Supporting data types

I am interested to know IF we were to support any new database types in Oracle Forms 11g, which types would you like supported and why. I'd also like to know if you are currently working around the absence of a database type.
Please note, this is not any kind of commitment to support new data types in Oracle Forms applications but we are interested to know if there is demand and if so, for what types.
Thanks
Grant Ronald
Oracle Forms Product Management
p.s lets keep the thread focused on the topic so please don't post technical questions or comments about different new features - if you want to, start a new thread - thanks

Hi Grant,
support for the "new" - well they exists since 9iR1 ... 2001 - data types TIMESTAMP, TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE, TIMESTAMP WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE, INTERVAL YEAR TO MONTH and INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND would be very helpful.
Currently it's not possible to use the Data Block Wizard to create a data block for table/view that contains one of these columns.
(In Forms Builder 10.1.2.3 it fails with a strange error message ... iewbdbc_oracle_to_id ... C:\forms\101220\src\ie\iewbdb.c:724 ...)
So, one has to create the data block and the items manually. The items have to be CHARS.
Then forms is able to fetch and display these columns. The user can edit them as normal.
A WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM trigger can be used to make sure that the implicit conversion from CHAR to the "new" datatype works.
For example, an INTERVAL YEAR TO MONTH column (b):
declare
l_invalid_interval exception;
pragma exception_init(l_invalid_interval, -1867);
l_invalid_month exception;
pragma exception_init(l_invalid_month, -1843);
l_dummy interval year(9) to month;
begin
l_dummy := to_yminterval(:block2.b);
exception
when l_invalid_interval
then
    message('invalid interval');
    raise form_trigger_failure;
when l_invalid_month
then
    message('invalid month');
    raise form_trigger_failure;
when others
then
    message(error_text);
    raise form_trigger_failure;
end;This nasty trick works for most of the "new" datatypes except with TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE.
In Forms 10.1.2.3 the following WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM trigger can (incorrectly!) fail:
declare
l_dummy timestamp with time zone;
begin
l_dummy := to_timestamp_tz(:block2.a);
end;It fails with "ORA-01804: failure to initialize timezone information", if the time zone is not like "-11:00", but like "EUROPE/PARIS". Don't know why...
If we recode our trigger to make a round-trip to the database, it works:
declare
l_dummy timestamp with time zone;
begin
select to_timestamp_tz(:block2.a)
into   l_dummy
from dual;
end;We could avoid these tricks, if Forms (and Reports) would support these type natively.
Thanks, Michael
PS: The TIMESTAMP and INTERVAL data types should of course be supported as items, parameters, globals and record groups columns.

Unable to get Windows User Name using Oracle Forms 6i, Jinitiator 1.3.1.17

Hi,
Requirement: Get Windows User Name using Oracle Web Forms 6i.
Tools Using: Windows NT, Oracle web forms 6i, Oracle 10g DB.
Description: I am using GetClientInfo JBean from otn.oracle.com, which gets windows user name, IP address and machine name. The demo I got from oracle web site uses Jinitiator version 1.1.7.18. While we are using the latest version Jinitiator 1.3.1.17. Due to this reason, I am unable to use Javakey which comes with older version but doesn't come with newer version, that's why I can't create the new JavaBean Java identity (PJC).
Please advise what to do. All environment variables are set everything is done, this is the only thing bothering me.
I went through the article 202768.1 from metalink, but on step 5, it gives an error keytool error: java.lang.Exception: Input not an X.509 Certificate.
Also, please let me know if there is any other workaround for this requirement.
Thanks & Best Regards,
Mo

Hi,
Thanks for your kind reply. Actually there was a problem in creating a certificate, now it is okay with the same method. Certificate got imported on client and everything is ready.
Now, the problem is when I try to set Bean Area Implementation Class property with oracle.forms.demos.GetClientInfo, it gives an error FRM-13008 Cannot find JavaBean with name 'oracle.forms.demos.GetClientInfo'.
I went through the articles 1072329.6, 196824.1, and set ClassPath and Path variables with proper values. Also, I have copied jar file and signature file in forms60/java folder. I don't see any problems. Please let me know what I am doing wrong. My limitation is that I have to do all this in forms6i.
I searched forums on metalink and found out that someone installed Patch 15, and everything went okay for him. Do you think I should install Patch 15? if YES, how will I do it, I mean should I first uninstall my forms and then install patch15 or install the patch on my forms?
Thanks so much for your help.
Thanks & Best Regards,
Mo

In Oracle Forms, to run all the When-Validate-Item of all the items at once

In Oracle Forms, is there any built-in / procedure / function which is used to run all the When-Validate-Item triggers of all the Items at once ?
I will put it in detail :
When a form is run and while entering the data..
when we enter some data and try to move out of that item then the When-Validate-Item trigger of that item is fired and the code in that trigger is executed..
Similarly there may be many items and many When-Validate-Item triggers correspondigly in a form..
My requirement is to run all the When-Validate-Item triggers of a form at once when we click a button which is created for that purpose only..
So is there any built-in / procedure / function (to run all the When-Validate-Item triggers of all the items), which can be called in the When-Button-Pressed trigger of that particular button..
If any one having any solution/suggestion, please let me know..
Thanks..

Hi Sandy,
Thanks for your suggestion..
The validations should be done at Item level (When-Validate-Item as usually) and seperately again when a button is pressed.
So to put all the code in another block-level When-Validate-Item trigger or in any When-Button-Pressed trigger will be duplication of the code.
Actually I have around 30 Fmbs to be modified and each Fmb is having around 20 Items and almost all Items are having When-Validate-Item trigger.
So,I wanted to know whether there is any Built-in / Procedure in Oracle Forms which runs all the When-Validate-Item triggers once it is called.
Thanks..

Global Variable in Oracle Forms 6i

Hi,
How & where to define global variable in Oracle form 6i and also let me know how to access it.
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Sanket

hi
Global variable are forms specifice variable.
it can store character value upto 255 for all usages.
We can initialize it when we declare otherwise give error if we did not assign it any value.
Oracle 10g it can take upto 4000 bytes
GLOBAL.ur_globalvar := TO_CHAR(15);
or
:GLOBAL.ur_globalvar:= '15';
or
Remmber numeric values are implicitly converted by oracle 2 character
:GLOBAL.ur_globalvar:= 15;
-- which can then subsequently be accessed using...
:GLOBAL.ur_globalvar;
-- To destroy a global variable and release its memory, use the ERASE built-in procedure:
Erase('GLOBAL.my_var'); Regards,
Abdetu...

Oracle forms in APEX problem

Hi all,
I have called oracle forms into my oracle apex application through iframe but having few problems.
Sometimes oracle forms in iframe region got stuck and then not work any more and if I logout from apex and login again it still in that stuck position.
I don't no what to do now.
I am thinking that it is reading from cache and i tried to close browser and clear cache and then login it still in that position.
I want that whenever oracle forms are called it, does not read cache and run from scratch.
Any solution guys.....

Oracle Forms 11g SSO with OID and IAM

What versions of OID and Access Manager are required to get an Oracle Forms and Reports 11.1.1.2 application
on Weblogic 10.3.2 configured for Oracle SSO using OID authentication?
We want the OID to store and authenticate Users for username and password logins to the database, then
ultimately by user Certificate authentication in OID. I have OID 11.1.1.2 installed and SSO enabled for Forms
in Enterprise Manager.
Is Access Manager required for Forms SSO with OID authentication to work or just to allow user interaction
for registration and Password reset?
Things mention OAM 10.4.3 and others talk about IAM 11g for Forms 11.1.1.2 SSO to work with OID.
We did this back in Oracle Forms and OID 10g with JSP and LDAP to setup users but I understand 11g is
different and IAM can help or is required for this type of SSO to work.
Any help?

Hi,
According to Oracle's certification matrix found at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/downloads/fmw-11gr1certmatrix.xls, Oracle Forms 11.1.1.2 is not supported to use any Oracle Access Manager (OAM) version. OAM is a component of IAM. It is only supported with Oracle SSO 10.1.4.x. The best solution would be to upgrade the Forms and Reports environment to either 11gR2 (11.1.2.1) or to the latest 11gR1 patchset 11.1.1.7. Both versions are compatible with OAM 11.1.1.7.0 and OID 11.1.1.7.0 where only Forms 11gR2 (11.1.2.1) is compatible with OAM 11.1.2.0 and OID 11.1.1.7.0. That would be the best solution as we have ran into configuration problems in the past with using Oracle SSO 10.1.4.x.
Since OID 11.1.1.2.0 is already installed, you should be able to patch it up to 11.1.1.7.0.
For user authentication in OID, it is required to have OAM or Oracle SSO as both products use WebGate or mod_osso agents for authentication and authorization. For purposes of allowing end users to register accounts and password reset, you will either need to also install another IAM component called Oracle Identity Manager (OIM) or create a customized SSO login page that can be coded to perform these actions. I believe there are some examples available on the Internet.
Thanks,

Running oracle forms and reports on the web

can any one help me out....
I have oracle 9i database as back end and oracle forms & reports 6i which was running on client server architecture. Now i want to deploy all my forms on web so that it runs on internet explorer . For all these things to happen what all upgradation i need to do.... . Do i need to upgrade my back end database and with what i have to replace my oracle forms 6i. pls tell in detail. I am using windows XP as my operating system and my disk space is 160GB and RAM is 1GB.

The process of upgrading Forms to the web can be found here: otn.oracle.com/formsupgrade.
You will also need to confirm the version you are upgrading to supports the database version - if you have support from Oracle you can check this out on metalink.oracle.com (and navigate to certifications).
Of course, the documentation is also a good place to start - otn.oracle.com/products/forms and navigate to documentation.

Mouse Scroll Not Working in oracle forms

Hi,
I Created a master and detail block.. In Detail block following Properties i set
No. of Records to be displayed : 10
Scroll bar : no
Without having the scroll bar i wannt to check all the records in the detail Block.
for this i created key_scrolldown trigger in form levl called thye builtin
SCROLL_DOWN;
i'm using Oracle 10g.. JIniator for Running Oracle Forms
applying this Coding this function is not working..
Can anybody tell this How to oversome from this...???
Cheers.

What version of Oracle Forms are you using? You should always include this in your posts. :)
Mouse scrolling is only enabled in Web runtime of Forms - so you must be using Forms 9i or higher.
Does JRE Support mouse scrolling function?If memory serves, Mouse scroll was first introduced in Java 1.5.0. Therefore, if you want enble the mouse scroll wheel in Forms, you must be using JRE 1.5.0 or higher. I strongly recommend you use Java 1.6.0_33 or higher - but do not use Java 1.7.0 as it has not been certified with Oracle Forms yet.
In order to use the JRE over the Jinitiator, you must modify your configuration to enable use of the JRE. Please take a look at Oracle 10gR2 Forms Services – Using Sun's Java Plug-in. This Oracle White Paper is for Forms 10g Release 2, but the instructions are basically the same for 9i and 11g as well.
Hope this helps,
Craig B-)
