              1
Topics Covered
• Introduction to forms
• Components in forms
• Forms in Oracle Apps




                              2
Application Development in Forms

Two Parts in Forms Development
• Forms painting
  – Designing the layout of the forms
• Coding
  – Coding in Triggers and Lovs




                                        3
Major Components of a form
•   Canvas
•   Windows
•   Blocks
•   Items
•   PL/SQL blocks




                                   4
Canvas
• It’s the background on which you place the
  interface objects.
• Items in a block can be placed on different
  canvas views and can be displayed in different
  windows.
• Different Types of canvas are tab canvas stack
  canvas and content canvas


                                                   5
Windows
• A form can include any number of windows.
• A new form will by default have one window
  named window1.
• A window must be attached to a canvas.




                                               6
Block
• They are logical containers and have no
  physical representation in the form
• They are very similar to the tables in the
  database .
• Each block may or may not be connected to
  the database table .
• There are 2 types of blocks Control and
  Database block


                                               7
Block – Cont..
• Block connected to database(Table) is called a
  database block.User can query , update ,
  insert and delete data in the base table
  because of this direct relationship.
• Two blocks can be connected using Master-
  Detail relation ship.



                                                   8
Items - Basic building blocks of a form

• Types
  – Text Item: A single- or multi-line text box that
    supports a variety of data types, format masks,
    and editing capabilities.
  – Display Item: A read-only text box whose value
    must be fetched or assigned programmatically.
    Operators cannot navigate to a display item or
    edit the text it contains.


                                                       9
Cont..
– List Item: A List of choices displayed as either a
  drop-down List, a List box, or a combo box.
– Push Button: A rectangle with a text label or an
  icon graphic inside.
– Radio Group: A group of radio buttons, one of
  which is always selected.
– Check Box: A text label with a graphic state
  indicator that displays the current value as either
  checked or unchecked. Clicking on a check box
  toggles it to the opposite state.

                                                        10
Items – Cont..
•   Bean Areas
•   Chart Items
•   Image Items
•   Hierarchical Tree Item
•   User Area




                                 11
Triggers
• All the coding for a form is done in a trigger
• Triggers are defined/attached at three levels-Form level,
  Block level,Item level.
• Trigger contains one or more PL/SQL statements.
• There are triggers defined for all events and actions which
  can take place in a form
• Trigger names correspond to runtime events.
• A trigger must be attached to a specific object in the form,
  either an item, a block, or the form itself.




                                                                 12
Triggers Contd..
• Trigger types
   -- When Triggers
   -- Pre Triggers
   -- Post Triggers
   -- On Triggers
   -- Key Triggers



                                13
Triggering Sequence
When a form is Opened

•   Pre-Form
•   Pre-Block
•   Pre-Record
•   Pre-Text-Item
•   When-New-Form-Instance
•   When-New-Block-Instance
•   When-New-Record-Instance
•   When-New-Item-Instance


                               14
Contd..
When Form is closed
• Post-Text-Item
• Post-Record
• Post-Block
• Post-Form




                           15
Program Units
•   Procedure
•   Function
•   Package Spec
•   Package Body




                              16
Libraries
• Procedures and functions used across the
  forms
• It is a type of module (.PLL)
• Attaching libraries
• Can be accessed from forms, menus, libraries




                                                 17
Some other concepts
•   Alerts
•   LOV
•   Record Groups
•   Parameters




                                18
Tools in Forms Designer
• Object Navigator : The Object navigator displays each object you have
  created and allows you to navigate through the hierarchy
• Properties Palette: This allows you to examine and set the properties
  of each of the objects defined by the user.
• Layout Editor: The sizing , positioning , alignment of the user created
  objects are done through this screen
• PL/SQL editor: Used for writing PL/SQL code
• Menu editor : Tool to create menus




                                                                            19
Steps in creating a form
•   Name the form
•   Connect to the database
•   Create blocks (Can use Data Block Wizard)
•   Create the layout( Can use Layout Wizard)
•   Set the properties
•   Add code in triggers
•   Test


                                                20
Forms registration
• TEMPLATE.fmb should be used for building all
  forms
• Register the Form
• Register the Function
• Attach the function to a menu
• FTP the form to the UNIX box
• Compile the form using f60gen command to
  generate executable (fmx)
                                                 21

FTP and Compiling the form

 FTP the form to the   custom_top/forms using any FTP
Tool.
 Go to UNIX and set environment by typing . qoedv2 at the
       prompt .
 Go to AU_TOP/forms/US
Compile the form using the command
 f60gen $CUSTOM_TOP/forms/US/form_name.fmb
username/password




                                                             28
Other components in Forms
Object Libraries
• Create, store, maintain, and distribute standard and reusable objects.
• Rapidly create applications by dragging and dropping predefined
   objects to your form.
PL/SQL Libraries
• These are special type of module in oracle form that serve the purpose
   of central repository for all the program units of the applications.
• Once these PLLs are created they can be accessed from any form or
   menu module.




                                                                       29
Contd..
Menus
• This is a form builder design tool which is used to create
  custom form menus and popup menus
Built in packages
• Forms Developer and Reports Developer provide several
  built-in packages that contain many PL/SQL constructs
  which can be referenced while building applications




                                                               30
Common Issues
• TNS names not found
• Cannot attach PL/SQL Library
• Errors while compiling the form in UNIX




                                            31
Thank You
