10g Migration issue in forms related to graphics

Hi..
I am facing a 10G migration issue realted to graphics in Forms.
A form got migrated from 6i to 10g and it has Graphics in it but it is not displaying the graphics in Runtime after
migration.can anyone help me reagrding how to resolve this Graphics issue in 10g.
Thanks,
Venkat

Graphics no longer exists in Developer Suite 10G. You have to replace the functionality , e.g. by using BI Beans. Have a look at the samples page http://www.oracle.com/technology/sample_code/products/forms/index.html

Migrating Issues from Forms 4.5 to 6i : library not attached

Hello!
Im using a batchfile to upgrade my existing Forms 4.5 to Forms 6i, patched 17 applied. My database is ver 8.1.7. However, on my test machine (only developer 6i is installed) i always get <Identifier xxxxx must be declared> whenever i do the migration process. Identifier 'xxxx' references library procedures. I take this is because Oracle cannot find the Libraries used by my Forms.
I tried several things to remedy this (all didn't worked, unfortunately):
- explicitly added the path of my library files in my registry
- i upgraded my pll files, re-compiled, re-exported, then saved.
- i tried using the old pll files (forms 4.5 version) without upgrading
- i tried putting the library files in the directory where the fmx files are
what am i doing wrong?
i can go about migrating a form file individually (Open a file in forms developer, add library, recompile, export then save) without any problems. however, i badly need to rely on my batchfile as i have hundreds of Forms programs and i don't want to recompile then all (and attach library) manually.
heres my batchfile, by the way:
for %%f IN (*.fmb) do ifcmp60 userid=prod_user/numberone@prod module=%%f batch=yes module_type=form compile_all=yes window_state=minimize upgrade_plsql=yes
to make matters worse, on the current machine that i am using (not the test machine above) (developer 4.5 & developer 6i both installed, different homes), i can go about the migration process using the batchfile perfectly well. Oh, i tried taking out the pll path on the registry and it still works like a charm (libraries are found, whether they are ver 4.5 or 6i). I suspect there's a setting i need to do other than the registry path.

Yes the exact FMB file runs properly when done manually; but when run with the batch script it doesn't, the reason being Oracle can't seem to find the library file being referenced by the program. Or, another way of putting it is that the batch file can't seem to connect the FMB progs with the PLX files it needs.
Here's an example of the generated .plg file after batch migration:
ON-ERROR (PM_ABSENCES)
ERROR 201 at line 17, column 9
identifier 'CGTE$POP_ERROR_STACK' must be declared
ERROR 201 at line 27, column 26
identifier 'CGTE$STRIP_CONSTRAINT' must be declared
'CGTE$POP_ERROR_STACK' and 'CGTE$STRIP_CONSTRAINT' are referenced by the FMB file, both procedures can be found in xxx.plx file, the location of which i put in the FORMS60_PATH in windows xp registry.
Im not so sure the registry has anything to do with it though (??) because with another PC (windows 98) the batchfile runs perfectly, regardless of whether the library paths are in the registry or not.
I understand changes in Windows registry are updated instantly, or should i perform a reboot after i make an entry?
Again, thanks for the help! =)

Forms 4.5 Migration to Oracle Forms 10g

Hi All,
I want to know abt migration steps i.e. i 'm doing migration of Oracle Forms 4.5 to Oracle Forms 10g. Then existing forms is on Windows NT based environment and the database is Oracle 8.
What is the better way to approach this issue? Whether, directly open the existing Forms into Oracle Forms 10g or first open the form into Forms 6i and then after 10g?
Tell me the System Specification.... Database version.... Which Application Server is suitable.... And whether the Oracle 9i database possible for Forms 10g or not.
Pls Give me solution.
Thanks

What is the better way to approach this issue?
Whether, directly open the existing Forms into Oracle
Forms 10g or first open the form into Forms 6i and
then after 10g?As Grant said:
4.5 to 10g (strictly speaking is not supported) but should work ok - Generally speaking you just open your Forms in the 10g builder and compile. You should check out otn.oracle.com/formsupgrade which gives you some good pointers including the Forms built-in procedures that have be desupported and removed from the product.
4.5 -> 6i -> 10g was the supported route (but even 6i is desupported now).

How to do Oracle Forms 4.5 migration to Oracle Forms 10g

Hi All !
I will start a process in order to migrate our currently Forms/Reports 4.5 application to Oracle 10g (Forms/Reports 10g). I need to know in order to begin this process.
For example: What Oracle Application Server my customers needs to buy ? and about licenses that they need to have ? What are the Basic Steps to follow? And Related Information.
HELP me.
Thank you

It is a Migration to 6i, then to 10g or 11g. This will take you about 1-1.5 days per form Manually (Migration Assistant is used to help on the 6i to 10g/11g portion). There is a lot of changes that need to be considered, and this is a very daunting task, especially from 4.5. You need to change all of the Forms from Character Mode to Real for one. There are are over 160 statements that have either changed or have been de-supported (This means won't work now, not like the 3.0 commands that worked through 9i).
There is a tool that my company offers that can do the 4.5 -> 10g/11g Upgrade is as little as 5 days (No matter how many forms/reports you have). I don't mean to advertise, but it is the only thing on the market that does this. www.pitssamerica.com is the site and PITSS.con is the tool. Look at this.

10g Migration Problem: error shown when trying to call a report from form

Dear Friends,
I am working on migrating developer 2000 forms to 10g forms. I am using migration tool for this. Everything is going fine except calling report from a form.
Say, in the original form I had the following:
RUN_PRODUCT(REPORTS,’ C:\test1.rdf’,SYNCHRONOUS,RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM,pi_id,NULL);
After migration its has become:
rp2rro.rp2rro_run_product(REPORTS, ’ C:\test1.rdf’,SYNCHRONOUS,RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM,pi_id,NULL);
Then, I have kept the report ‘test1.rdf’ in the ‘OraHomeAS\reports\samples\demo\’ location and changed the above code into:
rp2rro.rp2rro_run_product(REPORTS,'test1.rdf',SYNCHRONOUS,RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM,pi_id,NULL);
Now the form runs fine on application server but it can’t call the report. While attempting to call the report, it shows the following error:
ORA-06508
FRM-40735
Please note that the report ‘test1.rdf’ individually runs fine on the application server and at the time of migration I provided all the information (e.g. report server name) correctly. If I am missing any package, please tell which package I am missing and where should I paste it.
Please help me because I am very close to the deadline!
Rgds,
Luther

Hi,
The conversion to use the rp2rrp call needs a library to resolve the call which I think is called rp2rro.pll.
It seems that this library is not being found at run time, which is what the ora-06508 error often means.
I guess that you have compiled the form and must therefore have the pll to compile, so it is the forms_path setting in the app server run time that might not be set.
Look at the environment file (default.env is the original name for this, if you haven't created a custom one) for the entry FORMS_PATH. Is the location of your library specified in the path ?? If not put the directory in, then stop and restart the app server.

Forms/Reports 6i to 10g migration process

Hello !
I will start a process in order to migrate our currently Forms/Reports 6i application to Oracle DS 10g (Forms/Reports 10g). What I need to know in order to begin this process.
For example: What Oracle Application Server my customers needs to buy ? and about licenses that they need to have ?
Can someone give me a initial direction ?
Tank you

I would recommend using 10g Release 2 which is version 10.1.2.
You will need Oracle Developer Suite 10.1.2 for development and application maintenance needs. This distribution includes a light weight http listener used for testing applications while being developed. This light weight listener is not supported for multi-user access or production deployment.
You will need Oracle Application Server 10.1.2 for deployment. If you only plan to use Forms and Reports and do not need additional security features or Identity Management (SSO, OID, etc), you can use the Forms/Reports Services distribution which is smaller than the complete Application Server installation. Refer to the following for more information:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/10g/FormsReportsServicesInstallation.htm
This document refers to version 9.0.4 but mostly still applies to 10.1.2.
Do not attempt to use versions newer than 10.1.2 as they do NOT support Forms or Reports.
Additional Forms upgrade information can be found here:

     1. Oracle 4.5-->6i-->10g, In this what are benefits of migrating into intermediate version.Oracle's migration path is 4.5, 6i, 10g it is more logical to migrate using this path and it is recommended by Oracle, the obsolete built-ins would be pointed out at compilation and fixes would be more automated and simple since Forms 6i was designed to accept migration from 4.5 and the internal design of the forms will be much more adaptable to later releases.
     2. if we migrating into intermediate version 6i, do we need to fix all the errors before moving to 6i.It would be better and easier to fix things in Forms 6i rather than 10g, you can leave them and than you'll have to fix them under 10g.
     3. if no, do we lose any functionlity while migrating to 10g.Functionality built on obsolete built-ins and commands will be lost, you are more likely to face bugs.
     4. Does Oracle support direct migration to 10g?Oracle's official migration path is 4.5 to 6i to 10g
     5. if we open oracle 4.5 form in 10g form builder, do we lose any functionality? do we need to lot manual replacement?It all depends on your application size and features. I suggest you migrate to Forms 6i first and than to 10g although you can do it directly to 10g since Forms 6i is no longer supported.
I personally rather follow the recommended path and use Oracle support in 10g migration.

Forms 6i to 10g migration

Hi,
please any one can send me the forms 6i to 10g migration document?.
Edited by: N.K on Jun 21, 2010 11:39 PM

It really is NOT just a recompile.
For starters, the entire 3-tier architecture is different, which causes the need for potential changes using WEBUTIL. Compiling it won't add WEBUTIL and change TEXT_IO to CLIENT_TEXT_IO, or the same thing for a number of othere commands. It also doesn't address RUN_PRODUCT, which requires the RP2RRO pll.

10.1.3.1 : JSF migration issues : "awijeyek build" versus "sobryan build"

hi
I've noticed, and read about, some issues with adf-faces-impl.jar and jsf-impl.jar when migrating between recent JDeveloper versions.
If I create a simple JSF JSP page in "JDev 10.1.3" and I "migrate" that to "JDev 10.1.3.1" I observe what has been described in bug 5607187 on October 18, 2006. The project in "JDev 10.1.3", before migration, contains "adf-faces-impl.jar 10_1_3_0_4" and "jsf-impl.jar 1_1". The migrated project in "JDev 10.1.3.1" contains the new "adf-faces-impl.jar 10_1_3_1_0 sobryan", but still the old "jsf-impl.jar 1_1" instead of "jsf-impl.jar 1.1_02-b08".
Using the same scenario, I migrate from "JDev 10.1.3.1 developer preview" to "JDev 10.1.3.1". The project in "JDev 10.1.3.1 developer preview", before migration, contains "adf-faces-impl.jar 10_1_3_1_0 awijeyek". The migrated project in "JDev 10.1.3.1" still contains "adf-faces-impl.jar 10_1_3_1_0 awijeyek" and not "adf-faces-impl.jar 10_1_3_1_0 sobryan". (They both use "jsf-impl.jar 1.1_02-b08".)
This causes the following exception when I run the migrated application:
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: oracle.adf.view.faces.context.AdfFacesContextFactory.createContext(Ljava/lang/Object;Ljava/lang/Object;)Loracle/adf/view/faces/context/AdfFacesContext;

at oracle.adf.view.faces.webapp.AdfFacesFilter.doFilter(AdfFacesFilter.java:106)
...This seems to be caused by an API change in AdfFacesContextFactory:
In "JDev 10.1.3.1 developer preview" adf-faces-api.jar\oracle\adf\view\faces\context\AdfFacesContextFactory.class the createContext() methods looks like
public abstract oracle.adf.view.faces.context.AdfFacesContext createContext(java.lang.Object p1, java.lang.Object p2) { }While in "JDev 10.1.3.1" adf-faces-api.jar\oracle\adf\view\faces\context\AdfFacesContextFactory.class the createContext() methods looks likepublic abstract oracle.adf.view.faces.context.AdfFacesContext createContext(oracle.adf.view.faces.webapp.wrapper.ContextWrapper p1, oracle.adf.view.faces.webapp.wrapper.RequestWrapper p2) { }This method gets called by oracle.adfinternal.view.faces.webapp.AdfFacesFilterImpl which is in adf-faces-impl.jar that has a migration issue as explained above.
The embedded OC4J also displays this warning:WARNING: Code-source D:\oracle\jdevstudio10131\jlib\adf-faces-impl.jar (from <classpath> in D:\temp\JSFMigrationIssue10131dp-mig10131\View\public_html) has the same filename but is not identical to /D:/temp/JSFMigrationIssue10131dp-mig10131/View/public_html/WEB-INF/lib/adf-faces-impl.jar
(from WEB-INF/lib/ directory in D:\temp\JSFMigrationIssue10131dp-mig10131\View\public_html\WEB-INF\lib). If it contains different versions of the same classes, it will be masked as the latter is already visible in the search path of loader current-workspace-app.web.JSFMigrationIssue10131dp-View-webapp:0.0.0.(*) workaround
Manually replacing the adf-faces-impl.jar in the WEB-INF\lib folder of my project with the one in the "JDev 10.1.3.1"\jlib folder solved my "NoSuchMethodError" problem.

You should consult with Oracle about this. If nothing else has changed except the database version, why would it be the fault of Java or BEA?

How to migrate from oracle forms 6i....

Hi......
i'm currently using Forms 6i having abt 150 forms nad 2oo reports, now i want to migrate all my forms and reports to oracle 10g/11i.
Which will be the better option to migrate 10g/11i???
which will be easier to migrate 10g/11i ??
Is there any complication in migrating from 6i to 10g/11i??
Will there be any dataloss if i migrate ??
can i install oracle forms and reports 6i ,10g and 11i in single system ??
thanks in Advance,
Regards,
santosh.Minupurey

Are you currently deployed on the web or as c/s. Generally speaking for upgrading Forms its a case of open in the builder, regenerate and run. For c/s to web there may be some extra steps to do but generally speaking most Forms will run out of the box.
CHeck out otn.oracle.com/formsupgrade
There is also a batch option to help you and there are of course Oracle partners who can help as well.

Headstart Designer 10g Migration Guide?

Is there a Headstart Designer 10g Migration Guide?
We are migrating our forms application generated from Designer2K 2.1, Forms 5, Headstart 212 with repository in database Oracle 8 to the latest releases Designer 10g (10.1.2.0.2), Forms 10g (10.1.2.0.2) with repository in Database 10g R2 (10.2.0.2).
If we follow the migration path for designer and the repository database to 6i then to 10g, recompile the object library and form templates, regenrerate our modules, then will it still work? Do we need to do anything to the Headstart Designer Template Package? Hope you can help with a road map.

Hi Nathan,
there are several possibilities for a migration path. It depends on the expected life-span of the application(s), wether or not you want to use new Headstart functionality, etc.
A description of these possibilities can be found in the migration guide which is included in the Headstart 9i/10g documentation. Do you have the latest version of Headstart available?
Because you currently use an older version of Headstart, a migration will take a bit more work than described in this documentation because Headstart code has changed. So you will have to replace Headstart function calls or create a wrapper library.
Further, regeneration of (the more complex) Forms is not that simple as you will probably have to modify the lay-out. If you use client-side functionality (open MS Word/Excel, write to the local file system, etc), you will have to use Oracle's Webutil-package.
So it can be done. But it will take some planning and programming. Succes.
p.s. if you (temporarily) publish your e-mail address, i can provide you with some additional info.

9i Spatial 10g Migration

Dear List,
We are undergoing Oracle 10g migration at the moment. Could someone point to where I can get information with regards to existing 9i spatial tables and metadata in MDSYS schema. In particular,
1) Once the spatial tables are imported into 10g spatial, is it necessary to run the SDO_MIGRATE_TO_CURRENT procedure?
2) Can I simply import key metadata tables from 9i's MDSYS into 10g's MDSYS. If not, is there a migration tools I could use without registering the spatial tables?
Thanks!
Bo

Hi,
There is no migration of spatial data itself you need to worry about when moving from 9i to 10g, so you should not need to execute sdo_migrate.to_current. If your data is of the form supported way back in 8.1.5 (single digit sdo_gtype), then you should run this procedure.
By following the directions in the database upgrade guide mdsys schema objects will automatically be upgraded - there are no directions specific to spatial. It just works.
Hope this helps,
Dan
