Do you want to remap your keyboard keys with oracle apps?

Sorry for the not posting lately but I am busy with a project anyway my development team asked me to disable ctlr+s for saving they don’t want the end user to you use it to save, he must click the save button, they want to make sure that he want to save and its not just an habit.

So all what I have to do is the following:
-Make a backup copy of $ORACLE_HOME/forms60/admin/resource/US/fmrweb.res
-edit the fmrweb.res file.
-search for the ctrl+s line and I deleted/commented it.
-an example below on what else you can do
Before Change
-------------
118 : 0 : "F7" : 69 : "Clear Block"
119 : 0 : "F8" : 74 : "Clear Form"
122 : 0 : "F11" : 76 : "Enter Query"
122 : 2 : "Ctrl+F11" : 77 : "Execute Query"

Modified
--------
118 : 0 : "F11" : 76 : "Clear Block"
119 : 0 : "Ctrl+F11" : 77 : "Clear Form"
122 : 0 : "F7" : 69 : "Enter Query"
122 : 2 : "F8" : 74 : "Execute Query"

The above changes will enable users to use F7 and F8 to 'Enter Query' and 'Execute Query' instead of default settings of F11 and Ctrl+F11.

For more info go to metalink and search for fmrweb.res you will find a lot of related info.
have a magicla day

Do you need info. about R12

As the day of lunching Oracle Apps R12 is getting closer I came across this document on metalink (404152.1) (Release Content Documents for E-Business Suite R12)

This document contains links to the published Release Content Documents for Oracle Applications, E-Business Suite Release 12. The RCD or Release Content Documentation communicates information about new or changed functionality in the specified release of the Oracle E-Business Suite. Existing functionality from prior point releases is not described. Use this document as a launchpad for R12 RCDs.

It includes info about all the Product Families on Oracle Application R12 so check it out.

Monitor your apps performance

I came across note 244040.1 the note name is (Recommended Performance Patches for Oracle E-Business Suite) this note states the following (This document contains a list of performance patches that E-Business Suite development recommends customers to apply)and have the following fields

Product: FORMS
Bug#: 2283443
Description: Menu toolbar icons not picked up from cached jar file.
Affected Versions: Regression in Forms Patchset 8 (Forms ver. 6.0.8.17).
Fix/Workaround: Fixed in Forms Patchset 10 ( Forms ver. 6.0.8.19.1) and higher.
Symptoms/Comments: Access log file of the web listener will show icon gif files being downloaded from the media directory for each Forms application startup.

I think apps dbas should monitor this note once in while so they can stay updated incase any patch related to apps performance needs to be applied.
