General Issues in Oracle Custom Form Development 


• Form not displyaing proper output/ only lable item showed
Change the form name
Create new menu / function /form and attach the new renamed form to that menu


Or restart the puttty and winscp
Check out appstand.fmb file is there in the resource folder at AU_TOP


• Cntrl+ MAJ+K --- shows shortcut available for in form
 forms not running


Go to folder where Jinitiator reside normally c:/Program Files/Oracle....... and search for the file "jvm.dll"
3. Rename the "jvm.dll" to any name you want.
4. If you are using Forms 10g, go to its folder i.e c:/devsuite_*/jre and search for the same file "jvm.dll" in that folder.
5. Then copy that "jvm.dll" to the folder of Jiniatiator mentioned in step 2. replacing the jvm.dll that you renamed.


• Forms not running
Install all setup files present in below folder and set default browser as netscape navigator (edit->preferences->runtime)


D:\swapnil dandgvhal\reading stuff\form builder not running forms 


• fmx /fmb not find


some time you check path of fmb / fmx from front end and check out in server according to that path but its not found on that path because its stored in custom path rather than oracle apss seeded path


• Progress indicator issue …..


Solution : follow the reigistration steps of custom form , when windows name is  not properly set in app.custom package and pre_from trigger  we will get progress indicator after closing the form







•  Multiple windows and canvas in same form 
You can get the same issue when there is conflict between windows set while colsing the window for multiple windows related same form we have to mention the second window name  in custom app package


  if (wnd = 'MAIN_WINDOW') then   
    app_window.close_first_window;
  elsif (wnd = 'POPUP_WINDOW') then   
  go_block('XX_QVC_EAM_ASSET_HISTORY_TBL');
    --defer relations
    --close related windows               
  elsif (wnd = '<test>') then 
    --defer relations
    --close related windows   
    null;
  end if;
