Forms :: How To Call Any Application (EXE) From Menu
Oct 1, 2012
I called an application from Oracle forms using: Client_Host('cmd /c START "" "\localPathmyApplication.exe"'); This works fine on local as well as server.
But when I use the same command to call the application directly from the MENU ITEM, it gives error alert: "WebUtil Error: oracle.forms.webutil.host.Host bean not found. WEBUTIL_HOST.Execute will not work."
I even tried using DDE.App_Begin(). This gives error: ORA-106561. How can I call any application (.exe) directly from the menu item on the server?
how can i call form through menu bar with parameter...
i made a log-in form in which i take user name and i send it to called form in and which forms is called there i create a parameter of that name which i called log-in form...
but when now i reached it on second form there is i use menu.. than how can i send this user name to other forms which i called through menu bar....
I Use this code for calling form through log-in form...
but what can i do for call form with parameter through menu..
We'll soon start an upgrade of our Forms / Reports 6i Application to 11g. I was wondering, maybe, it would be nice to add some value for the upgrade process as a whole, using some of Apex new features like web mobile interface or maybe an integration between Forms an Apex, for example to provide users with the powerful features of Interactive Reports, just to name one.
I have found this interesting link: URL.... (not a 100% clear for me, but at least it is a start).Obviously, to make it attractive, one would expect automatic login between the two Apps. As far as i know, this could be done like this:
1) Using SSO. With that a Portal / Forms / Reports/ Discoverer/ version would be mandatory (too expensive for some clients).
2) Oracle Access Manager? Not sure, can Oracle Forms connect to Access Manager? or LDAP? How about the licensing costs?. Not a clue.
3) Make all Apex pages public? Not feasible.
4) Now this one: in our forms application, every user authenticates within the application and we internally map that application user to an actual database user. At all times we hold metadata info about the current user (app, and DB), as well as application context. So this is my question:
It is possible to create an Apex app, with database authentication method, and somehow pass the metadata from forms, and have a kind of custom login procedure that does all the application to DB user conversion process and application context setting?
I have built a Menu Framework using the following instructions.

I am facing 2 problems.
1. If the user is in a child application and clicks logout. He is taken to the login screen of the master application (Correct), but once he enters login details, he is returned to the child application (False). I think he should be returned to the Home page of the Master application.
2. If I set Session Timeouts in the Edit Security Attributes of the applications. Then if the user is timed out, he is sent to the login screen of the Master application (Correct). If he then logs in, he is sent the the Home page of the Master application (Correct).
Now if he clicks a link to a child application he is then sent back to the Master application login screen. He then has to login again. He is sent to the Master Home page and everything is then ok.
I am trying to implement a Jtree with Context Menu. When Context Menu is implemented the nodes wont expand or collapse.This happens with Sample Trees Packaged application for Project Documentation tree.
I'm looking for a solution to navigate through the drop down menu (APEX-Region-Plugin two level menu) by using the tab key and short-cut keys. How it could work?
I am trying to find a way to set the selected columns, like what the action menu -> select columns does. I am planning to build a AJAX Tree with check boxes, but I don't know where to pass that data to to update the selected columns. I'm sure their is a magic apex function that is passing the values of the current shuffle box, but as that is dynamically created, I have not be able to find that process / function.
Reason for this: Too many columns on the IR report. Want them divided by categories in a tree view. And no, I cant break the report up into multiple reports. Currently this report has 548 columns.
I try the solution and it works fine but I lost tree functionality that saves tree state (Selected Nod Page Item), value of this item is correct but async operation reset tree state.
We have recently did upgrade from 4.1 to 4.2 with listener 2.0. The edit bar (to edit the page) and Save Report option from Actions Menu ( Interactive Report) are missing, is it a bug?
- Convert 2nd Level Tabs of (Bluejay-22 Theme) to be Drop-Down Menus as in (Application Builder Theme)
- Where can I find documentation for app_AppMenuMultiOpenBottom3
Current Situation
- Only the first level tabs are converted to match the (Application Builder Theme).
- The Drop-Down menus of the second level tabs are not working
Steps tried
1) link the following CSS's into the Header section of the Page Template of (Bluejay-22) <link rel="stylesheet" href="/i/css/apex_builder.min.css?v=4.2.0.00.27" type="text/css" /> <link rel="stylesheet" href="/i/css/apex_ui.min.css?v=4.2.0.00.27" type="text/css" /> <link rel="stylesheet" href="/i/css/apex_ui_builder_home.css" type="text/css" />2) link the following Scripts into the Header section of the Page Template <script type="text/javascript">
I am using Developer 10g R2. From menu module i want to check the status of the report server. also when the status is shutdown then reportserver will be start otherwise run the report.
In forms 11 g, whenever, We did any menu change, and deploy in server, same changes are not reflecting in clients machine immediatly. I even stop forms services and restart.After some time... generally after 1 day, it reflect the new changes.In forms 10G, I never face this issue. As soon as i close the old menu and re-open, new changes reflect.
Recently i migrated all my forms and reports from 6i to 10.I am able to run the reports in the web.But when I am trying to run thru menu it give me error
Invalid report id -frm 41219
(I had already searched the forum for the same but i didnt get any valid answer. )
In the forum some says to add the report in the object navigator The reports node is available for the forms only but not for the menus then how can i add the report? Below is the code i am using in the menu
what is the basic workaround to provide to switch from one form to another form via custom-menu at runtime?
I attached a menu-item to every of my forms and I can call them seperately from the forms builder. But I am not able to switch between the forms then. If I am clicking on a menu-item, I get frm-40010.
P.S. I'd prefer to close the current form, if the new form has been opened. Do I have to control this seperately or is the closing of the last form default?
I'm migrating forms 6i to forms 10g. I have a mune which has parameters ,which are working in forms 6i. But when i try to comile in forms 10g its poping up error's.
I am getting this err ora-31640 while compling a menu in forms6i and when i have searched in oracle it is giving in forms 6i shared submenu's are not supported.
I create a Menu with two Items in it (execute and Exit) .Then i save and compile it with My_Menu name .Then I edit Menu Module Property in Property palette of Module2(file name) .
Menu Module MY_MENU
But at run time its giving me following error message .
01. Write set_menu_item_property('menu.menu_item', ENABLED, PROPERTY_FALSE); in Startup code of the menu itself
02. Mannually disable the item from property palette but both of these are not working. I have also disabled the Menu Security and removes the roles from the menu itself.
what exactly is the thing which is controlling the menu? Or is there any other way to disable/disappear the menu item?
