Custom form and Fnd_standard.set_who

Date: Tue, 22 Jun 1999 23:55:14 PDT
From: Guneesh Bhatia guneesh1@hotmail.com
Subject: Fnd_standard.set_who

Hi Apps Gurus,

I have created some custom forms using the template.fmb.I am populating the standard fields creation_date,created_by, last_updated_by,last_update_date using the built-in procedure fnd_standard.set_who.However,when i view the date in the table,it is getting stored as 23-JUL-1919.

what am i missing?
Thanks in anticipation,
Guneesh

Hi

There is Some Problem with Server Date. Please check following things

1.Check the Server Date.
2.In Pre Insert and Pre Update trigger at Block Level Mention fnd_standard.set_who.
3.Attach the Property Class of Date to the Form Field.
Let me Know if the Problem Persists

Hi Srini,

Sorry for the delay in response...i have checked all these details... The thing that is bugging me is that if i enter a record through a default apps form then these dates go in the database as 23-jul-1999 but as soon as i open my formand insert data into it,the date comes as 23-jul-1919.So it is definitely not a server date problem.

16-bit apps - 32 bit developer

From: Graham Tawse [mailto:Graham@gtawse.freeserve.co.uk]

Subject: 16-bit apps - 32 bit developer

Is it possible to use 32 bit developer2k for 16 bit apps? The forms are custom pay validation forms registered as custom application but available through GL menus. I get a GPF everytime!

Apologies if this has been covered but I'm new to this forum.

The application is 10sc16.1.
The developer is v4.5.7.... (I forget the rest).
The clients are NT (sp4).
The forms are on client machines.

Regards Graham

No it is not possible. You must generate your FMX using 16 bit D2K for 16 bit Apps (SC).

What I was able to do is use the 32 bit dev2k to create the fmb and then used the 16 bit f45gen to create the fmx. This allowed me to use the more stable 32 bit without getting the GPF all the time.

My programmer says that he gets missing libraries or other error messages when he tries to open a Fianacials 10.7SC form in 32 bit developer. Looks like a path problem but Oracle Support just says to use to 16 bit developer and won't tell us what registry thingies to change to get this to work.

It is dangerous, but it can be done, as long as you always use 16 bit to generate the FMX. You also cannot use a higher forms version than the current 16bit runtime.

I don't recommend this. But, if you simply add appropriate entries to the FORMS45_PATH key in HKLM/Software/Oracle, you should be able to use a 32bit Forms Designer. Add:

N:\resource;N:\resource\us;N:\forms\us

Where N:\ is mapped to your AU_TOP. If your path to AU_TOP is

C:\APPL10\AU\1.1\

then you would add:

C:\APPL10\AU\1.1\resource;C:\APPL10\AU\1.1\resource\us;C:\APPL10\AU\1.1\forms\us

Thanks for the replies. Can anyone tell me which version of developer can be used ( on NT clients). The only version we have is the 32-bit.

Hi Graham,

Install the FORMS designer from the Applications RUNTIME CD # 1. Oracle puts the compatible version of the Developer 2000 tools on the APPS CD, so you can install both and use them to customize 16 BIT apps, without causing a conflict.

When you are installing from the APPS CD use C:\ORAWIN as the oracle_home When installing from the DEV200 for Windows NT CD, use C:\ORANT as the oracle_home. This way you will have 2 oracle homes on y'r desktop and they would not conflict.

You can use the Developer 2000 from your start menu which kicks off te 16 Bit forms. You can use the Developer 2000 for NT to kick off the 32 bit version of the forms.

Hope this helps. Thanks,
Best Regards,
George

I has been a while since I have done this so bare with me.

Look at the file that contains all the paths for the 16 bit software, I believe this is the Oracle.ini file. Search for all the PATHs that reference the directory that stores the application source code. This normally starts with APPS.

SAVE YOUR REGISTRY.

Find the same path names, from your search above, in your registry and append to the end of the current path the same directory path that referenced that APPS directory. In Win95 you are limited to 255 characters for each path so you might have to delete any references to DEMO directories (this will prevent you from running any of oracle's demos).

For your purposes, the important paths to change are FORMS45_PATH and REPORTS25_PATH.

I feel obligated to tell you to SWIM AT YOUR OWN RISK when changing your registry so be sure to save your registry into a separate file. This would be the export feature in regedit.

All,

To avoid GPF's with the 16BIT dev 2000, backup f45run.exe to f45run.bkp next rename f45rund to f45run.exe. This will take care of the GPF problem in 16bit apps. You never have to worry about 32 bit Dev 2000 in this case(This is an undocumented bug)

You can always use 16BIT dev 2000 provided on the APPS CD, this is the most recommended thing, Oracle provides this version of the Forms on the same CD as the APPS, since all the APPS were developed using the same release. So to avoid potential problems with customized Apps. Forms in future it is safe to stick with the same version

Hope this helps.
Thanks,

While generating forms with adadmin in 107 NCA, it uses f45gen. f45gen core dumps while converting .fmb to fmx . Any solutions to troubleshoot this?


Forms conversion 2.3 to 4.5

Date: Mon, 21 Jun 1999 01:01:22 PDT
From: srinivasa ranganath srinivasa@hotmail.com
Subject: Issues on Forms conversion and feeder system

Hi,

We are trying to convert an application(which is interfacing with Oracle application) which is written in Forms 2.3 to Forms 4.5 to make it compatible with Rel 11. Does anyone has details about this? I want to know how much time it takes to convert a simple,medium and complex form to 4.5 and what are the steps involved in it. These forms sometimes zooms to oracle application screens.

I also want to know how does a feeder system works and what steps are involved in using this to push and pull records to an interfacing application.

I appreciate an immediate response.
Thanks,
Srinivasa.
