 |
|
Hi,
During testing I found that a partially or fully received PO can still have its price updated through the forms playback method even though the field is disabled.
If this update is attempted manually through the GUI the users gets "Field is protected against update" but through forms playback there is no error of any kind and the record is saved to the database with no problems.
Contacted Oracle but they said that forms playback is not a supported method for updating data and therefore want nothing to do with it.
My understanding was that forms playback could only do "exactly" the same operations as a normal user could do through the GUI but this certainly seems to highlight that this not the case.
Has anyone experience problems like this before and found a fix to stop the playback files from updating records which it should not be able to?
I have rolled the form back to before our company made a few changes to it and still the problem exists .... suggestions?
Thanks,
Mark |

Hi,
Can anyone verify that this issue exists please?
Obviously if we are talking about forms playback being able to do much more than what users can do through the GUI and in this case and it would mean the risk for it damaging business processes and controls is very high so how can we work around this?
Regards,
Mark |

Hi,
I don't want to shoot down a product but using forms playback is DANGEROUS, you can update fields which are disabled in the front-end when the user logs in manually. This fact alone should rule it out for ALL production updates.
No one in there right mind would use a tool that allows this kind of update to take place as it can corrupt data that the front-end is designed to prevent from being updated. When I contacted Oracle they do not support this kind of loading technique at all - to any type of Oracle instance.
If you choose to use this against a production instance have been warned!
For test instance loading its fair enough if something goes wrong then you can fix it or just refresh it.
Best of luck!
Mark
PS I've been using forms playback to 10 years! |
