Increasingly, power users are requiring more and more info in a manageable form. This is the case with dashboards and financial screens.
There are already a number of javabeans that can be quickly deployed with Oracle Forms 10g and the PJC depot at http://forms.pjc.bean.over-blog.com/ lists a number of very useful beans. On OTN, you can also [...]
I finally was able to complete a document that highlights the phases, challenges and solutions that we put in place during our migration from Forms 6i to 10g.
I would have hoped to have it before we embarked on the migration but here it is for those that might have to go through the same. Please [...]
One of the ways to extend Oracle Forms 9i-10g is with the use of JAVA. However, a number of Forms developers can’t seem to come to terms with JAVA and are unaware of the possibilities they have with the combination Oracle Forms-JAVA.
I recently was about to give a presentation on JAVA for PL/SQL developers (similar [...]
I don’t really know why but lately I found myself wanting to design dials, gauges and thermometers. May be it is because I spent a lot of time on http://dashboardspy.com or it seemed to me that Oracle Forms users are lacking some of the nice visualization components available on other platforms.
See this link [...]
Here is an update with the files for implementing a javabean that displays a static google map for a given location.
In a number of back-end applications, users as well as entities are registered with their address information. In some cases, it is desired to provide a visual representation of this address information.
A free service that [...]
Here is an output for a Javabean that shows the image from a Static Google Map.
The example shown here is for the google headquarters. The user inputs the address info in the Forms module and the Javabean takes care of fetching the data from Google Maps.
The process is done in two steps. First step [...]
When you have a directory with a complicated hierarchical structure (nested sub-floders), using webutil to browse the folder is inadequate. This is mainly due to the use of JFileChooser which is notoriously slow in this case.
Since most implementations use JInitiator, one way to circumvent this problem is to implement a bean that will make use [...]
We passed the test and our application has now been in production for 5 days.
A lot has happened since we started the Oracle forms migration to 10g (both the Database and application were migrated to 10g).
Some minor glitches did happen when our users started using the new webforms but overall we are having [...]
Timers were used quite heavily in C/S environments (Oracle forms 6i). Of the many uses, the one that is the most typical is to create a timer when validating an item and then perform an action when the timer expires.
For example, suppose that we need to sort records in a block according to a given [...]
We are almost at the end of our Forms migration to 10g on IBM AIX. I received some emails regarding the points to watch out for. As you can imagine by reading the previous posts, the migration as the forms module are concerned should not take that long especially if you use JDAPI. Somme annoyances [...]
