Connecting Oracle Forms Developer to E-Business Suite

Hi,
I have downloaded the Oracle DevSuite (10g) and BITools, I have managed to connect Oracle Discoverer to the db without any issues however, I am trying to connect Oracle Forms Developer 10g to our E-Business Suite 11i db and I keep getting the ORA- 01017 invalid username/password logon denied error message.
Should I be able to connect Oracle Forms Developer to the Oracle Business Suite databse without any issues or am I missing something,
any help would be greatly appreciated,
thanks
Chris

Hi Chris
First, You should know that the developer certified version for Oracle Apps development is 6i patch 18 (there's a new patch 19 also). On Discoverer, it's Ok to use 10G.
Now, on the connection issue, by the message it is related to the user/pass entered. If in Discoverer You are using oracle apps integration You may be using and application user and password, but that can be used to connect to the database.
Ask in Your project for apps password (may be apps or welcome12 if and on demand environment) for the development environment, or check if there's is a custom schema defined for development and get the user/pass for that one also. You may try with applsyspub/pub meanwhile to check connection but it's a restricted user.

  • Learning forms development for E-Business Suite

    Hi,
    I'm interested in learning forms development for Oracle E-Business Suite (specifically forms 10 as that is what I have installed on my vision instance). Other than the EBS developers guide, can anyone point me in the direction of some learning resources (books, online content etc) that I can learn forms from scratch? Specifically for E-Business Suite though as I'm aware that EBS forms development is significantly different than just standard Oracle forms.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Just giving this a quick bump up as I'm still looking for information if anyone can help!?

  • How long is Oracle Forms/Developer Suite to be supported?

    Hi.
    I'm just curious how long Oracle are committed to supporting or creating new versions of Oracle Forms Developer / Developer Suite. I've heard, from one or two sources, that the intention is to abandon forms, and move the focus completely to Jdeveloper some time soon...
    Is this true? does anyone know anything different?

    Here we are again whith that question...
    I'm a senior forms developer (and to make a little humour i've just recently learned designer...)
    I think the confusion comes also from "J2EE Application Development for Forms and Designer Developers" which can make us thinking oracle is pushing up to J2EE and prepare us for the Dead of Forms RIP ...
    And also that forms developer like me are a little bit afraid because they probably have no skills in J2EE.
    But for me it is clear now.
    There is no reason to migrate Forms to J2EE with whatelse tool can be sell to you.
    I tried some demos in the past with such tools and it makes me laugh, converting a simple master detail forms dept/emp.
    What can such tools make with very complex forms and logic ?
    But the question is if I had to create a new application will i still do it with Forms ?
    And the answer (for me) is no, especially when I see what the next Jdeveloper 11g will be able to do (I tried the fusion order demo and i was really impressed)
    You say "I've invested so much time in learning, and becoming proficient at Oracle Forms..."
    And so did I but I bought the book "Oracle JDeveloper 10g for Forms and PL/SQL Developers" and I study it page after page to enter the ADF world and upgrade my knowledge.
    So Forms or J2EE it is your choice and i will not post the link to the SOD (francois did it) but Forms can also live in a SOA world http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/pdf/10gR2/forms-soa-wp.pdf
    but we, forms developers, we must not only focus on forms and its death, but also go ahead and invest so much time we did to learn forms in learning J2EE, BPEL and etc etc.
    Hope this can help
    Jean-Yves
    ps : relating to older post, forms was dead each time a new version of the appServer was comming :o)

  • Still not able to CONNECT to Forms Developer

    Yesterday I received gernerous help from forum participant Shay,
    who walked me through the setup process (TNS Listener and
    TNSNAMES.ora, etc.) but I still cannot connect. I'm missing
    something fundamental.
    I have MS Windows 2000 version of Oracle Personal Edition 8i
    installed in directory ora81. The version of SQL*Plus that
    came with it works fine--I can connect to the database, create,
    drop, insert, etc.
    Oracle Forms Developer 6 is installed in directory orant. I can open
    the application but not connect. I tried to use Net8 Easy Config to
    define a new entry in tnsnames.ora, but every attempt fails in the
    GUI's test. (I told Shay that I got the test to work, but I was
    mistaken.) Next I manually changed the the tnsnames.ora file in
    orant\NET80\ADMIN\tnsnames.ora, which then shows up in the Config
    tool but still fails the test to connect. How does this tnsnames.ora
    file work with the tnsnames.ora file in ora81\network\ADMIN?
    Meanwhile, Personal Edition is running fine. The tnslsnr is running.
    I looked both in Services and, using Task Manager, in Processes.
    Oracle.exe is also running. I ran lsnrctl status and got the following:
    Connecting to (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=IPC)
    (KEY=EXTPROC1)))
    ...and then it gives status info, which indicates listener is on.
    How do you get Forms Developer to connect to the database that is
    clearly running?

    Start the Oracle Net8 Easy Config from the start menu. Add a new service name:add the name of your database. Choose "Bequeath" as a type of protocole because you are connecting to a local database which is on your own machine. Change the default SID to the name of your database.
    I think it will work .

  • Where to buy the study guide for Oracle Forms Developer 9i or 10g

    Hi, I am learning Oracle Forms Developer Build Internet Application. I am comfortable with SQL and PL SQL. I need authenticate Oracle Study Guide for Forms Developer which will help me in learning basics to advance level but I cannot afford the classroom course, it is beyond my pocket capacity. So I would like to know if Oracle sell only the study guides. I inquired at Book Shops in my area but did not get any help.

    I just went through Oracle Press and Sybex websites and it seems none of the books available suits my requirement. Not everyone can afford class room training unless it is fully or partially sponsored by their employers. And I don't understand what people learn in just 5 days.All the information you need to learn the products and pass the certification exams is available in the freely available Oracle documentation. Sure, it's nice to have the Oracle University training or exam prep books which is often specifically focused on the topics on the certification exam, rather than having to combine data from a few different manuals. But there the free Oracle documentation is pretty darned complete and you'll likely learn more from working through that documentation than you would from the Oracle University material just because you've got to do the work to put things together.

  • Installing Oracle Forms Developer 9i

    1) I downloaded the trial version (free 30 days) of Oracle Forms Developer 9i and burned the application onto 2 separate disks at my college computer lab. The files were downloaded from the Oracle website as ZIP files.
    2) Next, I made a directory (folder) on my desktop entitled:
    C:\Documents and Settings\Julie
    Harris\Desktop\OracleFormsDev into which I copied the 2 zip files.
    3) Finally, I clicked on the first zipped Oracle file and had it extract into a directory that I specified called c:programFiles\OracleFormsDeveloper\
    4) The problem is that now I have several (almost 100) files that were extracted from the 2 zip files and don't know which one to click on to install the program in the program files directory on my PC.
    During the unzipping process with Winzip, I got a Winzip error that says: " I/O error. Unable to read from zip file." during the time that Winzip was attempting to extract the oembase.jar portion of the Oracle Program.
    The Disk 1 files are extracted and I am currently extracting the disk 2 files; however, I don't know what file to click on to install the program once everything is unzipped. I don't see a setup.exe file; however I did notice autorun.exe on the 1st of the 2 CDs. Should I click on autorun.exe to install Oracle Forms Developer?
    If I need to learn some other necessary steps to properly install this program, please let me know. I need to use the program do complete my class project.
    Thank you to anyone who can help.

    Julie,
    if you are saying that one of the zip file was corrupted, chances are that you don't have all the files copied. The Developer Suite can be downloaded from OTN.

    It worked for me in Windows 7 Home premium, both in 32 and 64 bit operating systems...
    What I did was,
    After successful instalaltion of developer suite, I've installed latest JRE from www.java.com and configured formsweb.cfg and default.env file.
    I've used IE8 only. I haven't tested on any other browsers.
    Do modify these lines to configure formsweb.cfg to change to JRE from Jinitiator (As said by CraigB )

  • How to install downloaded Oracle Forms Developer/Services 6i Release 2 for linux

    Hi folks,
    I downloaded d2k6irelease2.tar (Oracle Forms Developer/Services 6i Release
    2 for linux) from
    http://otn.oracle.com/software/products/forms/htdocs/linuxsoft.html
    I untar the file on my linux machine however the extracted files don't
    seem to contain any installing program. I didn't find products.jar in the
    files and there are no script to install the software. I read the attached
    doc, however it only assumes that the installation is from CD-ROM. The doc
    doesn't help anything for this downloaded software. I wonder if anyone
    here know how to install it. Thank you so much.
    Best regards,
    Kai Huang

    There should be a text based installer in the /orainst sub-
    directory
    In that directory, just run the script:
    ./orainst
    The installer seems to require libXm.a, which wasn't included in
    my RH 7.1 installation, so I had to install the motif-
    development libraries before the full install would complete
    successfully.

  • 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.

    Hi,
    First use gunzip utility to unzip .gz file. Once you are done, you will get a .tar file. Use tar -xvf to untar the file to a directory. It is similar to unzip.

    Hello,
    I have a couple of questions. I just downloaded the Oracle9iAS
    Forms Services and Oracle Forms Developer 6i Release 2 for NT.
    Is it a trial version? Does it expire after a certain time. Or
    is it a limited feature version. I couldn't find any info about
    this on the Oracle website.
    Regards,
    Tam

    AS with all the downloads on otn this is a full version with no
    time limit. But you are under the OTN license which says that
    you have to purchase the product if you are developing
    production applications with it. Its free for evaluation and
    personal education purposes.
