6i forms on 10g

I have a application developed with forms 6i and working on oracle 9i. we wish to migrate to 10g database. Are thr any issues can we migrate.

I'm sorry, but your scenario is not very clear to me. Are you trying to use a 10g DB with Forms 6i ? If so, what is the remote 8.1.6.3 DB ?
Will patch 17 help ?It should.
So, did it work for you ?.
It worked, it was patch 13, but it was just a try, I didn't even try to recompile forms. In production environments we don't have customers with Client/Server and 10g DB, only 8i and 9i. With 10g DB we only use Web forms 9i and 10g.

    so that u cannot see it when u run the particular form.
    now use the below code where u are coding to run the report.

  • How to insert special character from Oracle form builder 10g

    Dear all,
    I need help. how to insert special character like 'Superscript or Subscript ' from oracle form builder 10g. I had try in Oracle form builder 6i with press ALT+ASCII code in the text item and it work, but in the oracle form builder 10g this method doesn't work... would you like to help me...somebody please...
    Best Regard,
    Dedy P.T.

    What do you mean by insert ... from Forms Builder? Do you mean you want to add it as text in a string of pl/sql code or as part of boiler plate text (label) or a value on the Property Palette?
    For special characters you would need set NLS_LANG to something that would support the characters you want to use. For the Builder to see the change, you would need to set NLS_LANG to something like:
    NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8
    This can be done in the Windows Registry or system. As I mentioned, this will only apply to the Builder and will have nothing to do with a running form. For running forms you would need to set this in default.env. As for things like super and sub scripts, these are font formats and not necessarily characters. For the most part, I don't believe these are supported in Forms.

  • Oracle forms 9i/10g connecting SQL Server 2000

    Could anyone please guide me in detail to connect Oracle Forms 9i/10g with MS SQL Server database?
    To connect with Oracle Database, we need to copy and paste the tnsnames.ora file from the Oracle Database folder to the Oracle Forms folder.
    But how do i connect with other databases like SQL Server, MS Access, and so on?
    Thanks in advance.

    Follwoing is the soluton which I got from orafaq forum:
    <<<<<
    I'd go for an ODBC on the database server, using HSODBC. It worked quite well on a data warehouse project using OWB. I fail to see why it wouldn't work for Forms.
    MHE
    >>>>>
    Now I'm fully in a confused and frustrated state. Each person is saying different solutions for the problem. One person is saying to connect using ODBC driver while other is saying to connect JDBC driver. Actually which driver should I configure? Also no one is giving a clear picture for the problem.
    How can I get a detailed solution for this problem (with screen shots) which include step by step procedure to configure a driver?
    So, I would be pleased if you could please guide me with step by step procedure to get connected with Oracle Forms using SQL Server?
    Or atleast some reference site where I can find the same.
    Thanks.

  • Oracle Forms Builder 10g Questions

    Good day everyone,
    I want to start off by saying that I'm very new to Oracle Forms Builder (it was dumped on my table about a month ago) and I'm having some issues I need resolved in order to complete a project for a client.
    I'm looking mainly for documentation or resources that will show me how to do the following in Oracle Forms Builder 10g:
    * Use either the ENTER button or mouse click to navigate between mandatory fields in a form (currently only TAB works)
    * Populate a field[s] after pressing a search button based on a SQL query
    * Populate a field[s] on launch based on a SQL query
    * Throw a warning message if an SQL query returns with a specific result
    * Populate a drop down menu based on a SQL query (ie only show valid options to user)
    * Remove static highlighting (fields should only be highlighted if necessary, which is never on this particular form)

    I've been able to reduce my problem down to the fact that Oracle Forms Builder 10g is not configured correctly on my machine for my environment. I can seem to get Oracle Forms Builder to see my libraries. When I load the form I'm working on I get the following error:
    FRM-18108: Failed to load the following objects.
    Source Module:utlf_gui
    Source Object: TOOLBAR_MDI
    +... (many more of the one above)+
    I press ok and get the following error:
    FRM-10102: Cannot attach PL/SQL library sdsl. This library attachment will be lost if the module is saved.
    +... (many more of the one above)+
    From my various searches on the internet I've learned that this is because Oracle Forms Developer can not find the listed PL/SQL libraries and I should check my Environmental variables. I've set up two Environmental variables with the following:
    Forms_Path = C:\<project path>\Lib\   (This is the folder in the project folder where all the PL/SQL libraries are stored)
    Forms90_Path = C:\<project path>\Lib\   (This is the folder in the project folder where all the PL/SQL libraries are stored)
    I created both Environmental variables because there wasn't any consistency on the sites I was checking to which was needed.
    Also if I try to attack a PL/SQL library I get the following error:
    Attached library name <name> contains a non-portable directory specification. Remove path?
    I press yes or no and get the following error:
    PDE-PLI038 Cannot open file for use as a PL/SQL library.
    Any help is much appreciated.

  • Unable to run forms in oracle forms developer 10g

    I am using oracle forms developer 10g on oracle application Release 12.
    When i run form i am getting error that weblistener is not running on default port 8888. Then i changed it to 8000. But still i am not able to run the forms.

    Nivas,
    In addition to running OC4J, you must also have your browser configured to use a Java Runtime Environment. The easiest - and preferred - method is to install the Oracle JInitiator as there is not configuration needed other than the installation. You can also use Sun's JRE, but you would have to research how to configure your PC correctly. The other option is to change your FormsWeb.cfg file to use the Browser Native JRE. Edit the formsweb.cfg file and find the IE= directive. The Default is IE=jinitiator. Change this to IE=Native, save your changes and you are done. This is not the preferred solution, but it does work.

  • Oracle Database10g Express Edition's compatibility with Forms/Reports 10g

    hi,
    I have a problem while connecting from Oracle Forms/Reports 10g to Oracle Database10g Express Edition.I have configured through the net configuration assistant and it shows the test is also successful. But while connecting from Oracle Forms/Reports 10g, an error is being displayed saying that the TNS could not resolve service name(ORA - 012154). I am able to connect to my database server normally. I got a doubt now regarding Oracle Database10g Express Edition's compatibility with Oracle Developer Suite 10g. Can I use Oracle Database10g Express Edition as backend for Forms/Reports 10g in a stand alone machine.
    Can anyone please give me a solution regarding my issue.
    Thanks in advance.
    RAKESH

    12154 means that the TNSNAMES.ora that reports is using does not understand what the '@XE' means.
    Check that you do not have several different TNSNAMES.ora files - there are probably several, and the one you are using probably does not point to XE. This is the most common cause I've seen.

  • Issues in calling Sql Loader through forms developer (10g)

    Hi,
    I am developing a form(in 10g) ,in which I am calling sql loader for loading data onto a oracle database table from external source (e.g. data file is a .CSV file).
    But , somehow the sql loader is not getting executed.
    Here , I am giving the environment settings , approach i am taking;
    This is a distributed system , both the application server,and database server are mounted on two different servers.
    The form is delpoyed on the application server.
    The database table , and the sql loader are configured on the databse side.
    I am using host(<sql loader command>) command to invoke the Operating System command through forms.
    The sql loader is working ok , and the data is getting loaded successfully onto the required database table when I am executing the sql loader command on Unix prompt , but through the forms , it's not working.
    Do I need to change some environmental setting to make this work...
    Any quick help in this regard is highly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hi Craig,
    I have already tried out the option of calling sql loader through stored procedure,but this is not working ...
    could you please share any examples to do so ...
    code snippet i am using in forms:
    declare
    usid get_application_property(userid);
    pwd get_application_property(password);
    db get_application_property(host);
    msqlldr varchar2(250);
    begin
    msqlldr:='/u01/oracle/formss/bin/sqlldr' username=<uid/pwd@db> control=<control file name> data=<data file name> log=<log file name>
    hosts(msqlldr);
    end;
    Note that sqlldr command ,for that matter any unix shell command is not working through the hosts() command ...
    could you please suggest any way out ...
    Thanks.

  • Can I call a report in Reports 6i from Forms Services 10g?

    Hi there,
    I was wondering if I could call a report in Reports 6i from my application in Forms Services 10g. If so, how could I do it?
    Thanks!

    In Forms 6i you probably did use RUN_PRODUCT to call reports. In 9i onwards you should use RUN_REPORT_OBJECT instead.
    See http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/pdf/10g/frm10gsrw10g.pdf
    Note that you should be able to run RDF files without any conversion.

  • Form & reports 10g VS Form & reports 6 ???

    Hi All,
    We have customers that running Form & reports 10g application and they (must) use IAS 10g for deployment.
    But now they are considering to downgrade to Form & Reports 6 (client-server). So they put the Form & Reports to a folder on a server and map the folder to the clients.
    Actually what are the benefits of running Form and Reports 10g on IAS and Browser compared to running Form & Reports 6 on client server mode ?
    Thank you very much,
    xto

    Hi Xto,
    If you use Forms 10g in web mode, thin clinets can be used and hardware cost can be reduced. Only you need to have good application server.
    And you can access the application from browser and no need of installation/setup in client machiens. so maintanance cost also can be reduced.
    These are some of benefits while running in web mode.

  • How to make Form builder 10g step into libraries *.pll while remote debug

    How to make Form builder 10g step into libraries *.pll while remote debug. It attaches fine and goes through code located in form but skips pll's. In this case I am interested in debuging CUSTOM.pll. How to step into pll's and is it possible at all?

    Is the library in the same directory or within your FORMS_PATH? Note that the runtime setting in the default.env doesn't work for the builder.
