CUSTOM FORM DEVELOPMENT

On the CLIENT machine create a FOLDER as say: c:\custom_sunil In custom_sunil folder creates 2 folders forms, resource Copy TEMPLATE.fmb, APPSTAND.fmb, .pll files to CLIENT Copy TEMPLATE.fmb , APPSTAND.fmb from AU_TOP/forms/US to c:\custom_sunil\ forms directory copy all .pll files from /Applvis/visappl/au/11.5.0/resource to c:\custom_sunil\resource using ftp On windows go to command prompt Cd c:\custom_sunil\forms ftp cloneserver username: applmgr password: applmgr now you are at ftp prompt bin prompt cd visappl/au/11.5.0/forms/US ( here apparently cd $AU_TOP does not work) get TEMPLATE.fmb (file copied) get APPSTAND.fmb (file copied) lcd ./resource (check this. Basically you need to be in c:\custom_sunil\resource. You can go to that directory and then run ftp) cd visappl/au/11.5.0/resource mget *.pll ( now all .pll files are copied to c:custom_sunil/resource) SET env variable FORMS60_PATH through regedit Regedit/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/software/oracle Double click FORMS60_PATH At the end of existing value data add: ;c:\custom_sunil\froms;c:\custom_sunil\resource Now open TEMPLATE.fmb and make the following changes DELETE BLOCKNAME &DETAIL BLOCK FROM DATABLOCK,DELETE BLOCKNAME FROM CANVAS AND WINDOW Create a window NEW_WIN, canvas NEW_CAN Create a new block based on the table you created in your custom schema In pre-form trigger: app_windows.set_window_position(NEW_WIN). In program units open custom_package.AP_cutom_pacakge body Change : if (wind=NEW_WIN);

 Template name = SUNIL_FORM Save as SUNIL_FROM to c:\custom_sunil\forms (????????SET THE WINDOW NAME AS U HAVE CREATED NEW WINDOW IN PRE-FORM TRIGGER BY BLOCKNAME?????) DEPLOY the FORM (upload it to AU_TOP/forms/US) Go to command prompt (on client) cd c:\cutom_sunil\forms ftp cloneserver cd visappl/au/11.5.0/froms/US bin prompt put SUNIL_FORM.fmb

Changing ORACLE_HOME (/Visdb/visdb/9.2.0 to /Applvis/visora/8.0.6) thru putty login as applmgr pwd: /Applvis echo $ORACLE_HOME: shows /Visdb/visdb/9.2.0 cd visora cd 8.0.6 . VIS_cloneserver.env (this changes ORACLE_HOME apparently based on pwd?) echo $ORACLE_HOME: shows /Applvis/visora/8.0.6 now ORACLE_HOME is 8.0.6 (forms/reports home) pwd : gives /Applvis/visora/8.0.6

COMPILE and generate FMX (now you are in /Applvis/visora/8.0.6 directory and ORACLE_HOME is set to /Applvis/visora/8.0.6) pwd: gives /Applvis/visora/8.0.6 f60gen module=$AU_TOP/forms/US/SUNIL_FORMS.fmb module_type=form user=apps output_file=$SUNIL_TOP/forms/US/SRIN_FORM.fmx compile_all=special batch=no this generates SUNIL_FORM.fmx and puts in SUNIL_TOP/forms/US FORM REGISTRATION Login to applications with application developer responsibility Application/form Enter the following details o Form: the fmx name (SUNIL_FORM) o Application: Oracle Receivables (as per Amer) give appropriate name based the intended use of this form

o user form name: SUNIL_FORM_U (this will appear in LOV) o SAVE Attach the FORM to FUNCTION (Create a new function) Application/function Enter the following details o Function: SUNIL_FUNCT o User function name: SUNIL FUNCTION o Form: SUNIL_FORM (previously registered) o SAVE Attach FUNCTION to MENU Application/menu Enter the following details o Menu: sunil_menu o User menu name: sunil menu o Seq: 1 o Prompt: sunil form o Function: SUNIL_FUNCT( previously deined) o SAVE Attach MENU to RESPONSIBILITY Attach RESPONSIBILITY to USER Login as the new USER See the form
