welcome

al_kamel
and thanks for your comment

[mezo_3_2000]

welcome developers

in forms 11g you don't have to configure webutil it's already configured by oracle , just copy jacop.iar to java file and jacop.dll to webutil file
then create and compile webutile_db package through your database user
and compile webutil.pll from forms compiler to plx file
that is all
now
open forms builder
new module and open webutil.olb
and open webutil.pll
and subcalss objects from webutil object libraries in module
and copy program units from webutil pl/sql libraries to module program units
then goto edit > preferences > runtime tab and be sure application server url like this

http://<hostname or ip address>:8888/forms/frmservlet?config=webutil

run your module to enjoy with webutil

regards

note

in form builder attache webutil.pll library with out remove path
don't open it by pl/sql libraries and copy program unit to progrma units in form module
im so sorry for this mistake

[mezo_3_2000]

First of all this thread is not a question for you but rather an information I would like to share with you.

We are in the process of upgrading our Forms 6i to Forms 11g. The setup of Forms 11g (11.1.1.3.0) and Webutil is completed. I run my first form with Webutil PLL attached to it. The form ran fine. I looked at the Java console for messages. Saw the following error message:

System library http://<oracle_home>:8090/forms/webutil/jacob.dll has incorrect size in WebUtil config. Download will be cancelled

After doing googling and a search on Metalink, found the cause of this error.

It was due to the actual file size of jacob.dll file and the one specified in webutil.cfg file was not matching. The entry in my webutil.cfg file reads as follows:

install.syslib.0.7.1=jacob.dll|106496|1.10|true

To find out the exact file size of your jacob.dll file, right click on it and on the 'General' tab you can see the exact size in bytes.

For example, 104 KB (106,496 bytes)

In my case the file size of Jacob.dll was different due to the wrong version of Jacob I had downloaded. I had downloaded jacob_18.zip file from the following link:

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/jacob-project/jacob_18.zip

Again, googling through Forms forums and Metalink, found that the version of Jacob.dll we need to have for Forms 11g should be 1.10. So downloaded this version from the following link:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/jacob-project/files/jacob-project/1.10.1/jacob_1.10.1.zip/download

Unzipped it and the checked the size of jacob.dll, it was 106496, matching with the entry in webutil.cfg file !!

The next step was to delete the old jacob.dll file from <oracle_home>\forms\webutil folder and old jacob.jar from <oracle_home>\forms\java folder and copying the new files back the same folders.

The last step was to re-sign the jacob.jar file using sign_webutil.bat (or sign_webutil.sh for unix).

As suggested in Metalink, to be on safe size, also deleted the old jar files downloaded in your temporary folder and deleted the jacob.dll file downloaded in your \Program files\Java\JRE\bin folder.

Thats it ! Re-launched my form and checked the Java console. That incorrect file size message had gone !!

Hope this brief information will help you if you also face the problem.

Data Pump Export (expdp) and Data Pump Import(impdp)

Introduction
Oracle introduced the Data Pump in Oracle Database 10g Release 1. This new oracle technology enables very high transfer of data from one database to another. The oracle Data Pump provides two utilities namely:

Data Pump Export which is invoked with the expdp command.
Data Pump Import which is invoked with the impdp command.
The above two utilities have similar look and feel with the pre-Oracle 10g import and export utilities (imp and exp) but are completely separate. This means that dump files generated by the original export utility (exp) cannot be imported by the new data pump import utility (impdp) and vice-versa.

Data Pump Export (expdp) and Data Pump Import (impdp) are server-based rather than client-based as is the case for the original export (exp) and import (imp). Because of this, dump files, log files, and sql files are accessed relative to the server-based directory paths. Data Pump requires that directory objects mapped to a file system directory be specified in the invocation of the data pump import or export.

It for this reason and for convenience that a directory object be created before using the data pump export or import utilities. For example to create a directory object named expdp_dir located at /u01/backup/exports enter the following sql statement:

SQL> create directory expdp_dir as '/u01/backup/exports';

then grant read and write permissions to the users who will be performing the data pump export and import.

SQL> grant read,write on directory expdp_dir to system, user1, user2, user3;


Invoking Data Pump Export
You can invoke the data pump export using a command line. Export parameters can be specified directly in the command line.

Full Export Mode
A full export is specified using the FULL parameter. In a full database export, the entire database is unloaded. This mode requires that you have the EXP_FULL_DATABASE role. Example :

$ expdp system/<password> DIRECTORY=expdp_dir DUMPFILE=expfull.dmp FULL=y LOGFILE=expfull.og

Schema Export Mode
The schema export mode is invoked using the SCHEMAS parameter. If you have no EXP_FULL_DATABASE role, you can only export your own schema. If you have EXP_FULL_DATABASE role, you can export several schemas in one go. Optionally, you can include the system privilege grants as well.

$ expdp hr/hr DIRECTORY=expdp_dir DUMPFILE=schema_exp.dmp SCHEMAS=hr,sh,oe

Table Export Mode
This export mode is specified using the TABLES parameter. In this mode, only the specified tables, partitions and their dependents are exported. If you do not have the EXP_FULL_DATABASE role, you can export only tables in your own schema. You can only specify tables in the same schema.

$ expdp hr/hr DIRECTORY=expdp_dir DUMPFILE=tables_exp.dmp TABLES=employees,jobs,departments

Invoking Data Pump Import
The data pump import can be invoked in the command line. The export parameters can be specified directly in the command line.

Full Import Mode The full import mode loads the entire contents of the source (export) dump file to the target database. However, you must have been granted the IMP_FULL_DATABASE role on the target database. The data pump import is invoked using the impdp command in the command line with the FULL parameter specified in the same command line.

$ impdp system/<password> DIRECTORY=expdp_dir DUMPFILE=expfull.dmp FULL=y LOGFILE=impfull.og

Schema Import Mode
The schema import mode is invoked using the SCHEMAS parameter. Only the contents of the specified schemas are load into the target database. The source dump file can be a full, schema-mode, table, or tablespace mode export files. If you have a IMP_FULL_DATABASE role, you can specify a list of schemas to load into the target database.

$ impdp hr/hr DIRECTORY=expdp_dir DUMPFILE=expfull.dmp SCHEMAS=hr,sh,oe

Table Import Mode
This export mode is specified using the TABLES parameter. In this mode, only the specified tables, partitions and their dependents are exported. If you do not have the EXP_FULL_DATABASE role, you can import only tables in your own schema.

$ impdp hr/hr DIRECTORY=expdp_dir DUMPFILE=expfull.dmp TABLES=employees,jobs,departments

What about configuration to run reports on weblogic
i need code for calling report from a form and configuration of(

Registry.dat

forms.conf

formsweb.cfg, default.env

Thanks

[mezo_3_2000]

thanks for your comment and msg

Mr.sakr_orcl
to run reports from forms in OFM create pushbutton and type the same code that you write using oracle release 10g
, and start the report server and weblogic server (WLS_Report) both from START menu> All Programs > Oracle Classic Instance - your instance > Report services  
thats all
