Differences in Forms 6i,9i &10g

Hello everybody
what is differences among Forms 6i , Forms 9i, and Forms 10g
thx
Ravi

I believe the main diff. is that forms 6i still have client/server runtime option while Forms 9i/10g need forms services (OAS).
Take a read at Forms 9i/10g release notes in OTN.
Regards,
Marcos

  • Difference between Developer (6i and 10G)

    Hi All...
    What is the Difference between Developer (6i and 10G).
    Thanks & Regards
    Sanjeev

    Regarding Forms specifically, the most significant difference (in my opinion) is that all versions newer than 6.0.8 cannot be run as a client/server or character mode application. All versions 9.x and newer are deployed as a java applet within a browser.
    There are numerous other differences, so describing all here would not be possible. If you have a question about something specific, please let us know and we can try to respond.
    I would recommend you refer to the many documents which are available on OTN. Here are references to the most significant pages on OTN regarding Forms and Developer (iDS):

  • Getting Error While Opening the Oracle Form 6i in 10g

    Hi All ,
    FRM-10102: Cannot attach PL/SQL library XXX. This library attachment will be lost if the module is saved.
    I am getting above error message while opening Oracle 6i Form in 10g.
    I get the following Alert message when I try to attach the library to my form -
    Attached library name
    S:\.........xxx.pll contains non-portable directory specification. Remove path? Yes/No?
    If I select 'No', the Form compiles and runs without any error.
    But if I select 'Yes', I get the following error message:
    FRM-40039: Cannot attach library xxx while opening form.
    All files (fmb, fmx, pll, plx) are on the same path. I detached and then re-attached the library but this didn't work for me?
    Help Appreciated.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Ram.

    use the shiped batch program frmplsqlconv.bat to convert all your forms/librarys from Forms 6i to 10g.
    you can call it in wizard mode from the start menu (e.g. OracleDeveloperSuite <OraHome> => Forms Developer => Forms Migration Assistant (GUI Mode) and follow the instructions step by step
    or you can call it by batch to convert all your forms/librarys. The batch file is found in
    <ORA10g_HOME>BIN\frmplsqlconv.bat
    =>
    frmplsqlconv.bat <formname>

  • Hotkey (Ctrl+B) is not working after migration from Forms 6i to 10g

    Dear Gurus,
    Need your help regarding the following problem:
    After migrating from Forms 6i to 10g (Rel 2), Ctrl+B (used to list the blocks in a form) hotkey is not working anymore (all other hotkeys are working fine). I've checked my FMRWEB.RES and it contains an entry for Ctrl+B:
    66 : 2 : "Ctrl+B" : 70 : "Block Menu"
    Additional Information:
    OS: AIX
    NLS_LANG = UTF8
    fmrweb_utf8.res also contains the same text for Ctrl+B as above.
    I tried to reproduce it on my Windows Machine (with NLS_LANG set to AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1) and its not working as well. I don't have right to put move files on AIX server but i can try anything (on my local system) suggested by the Oracle gurus.
    Best Regards,

    Dear Gerd,
    "are you sure, that it is the hotkey"
    Yes, i am dead sure. Since:
    (1) It was working fine in forms 6i
    (2) If you run a form and select Help => Keys, you will see Ctrl+B on the top of list
    The problem is its not taking into account the keys which i am defining in the file (although i am following the same procedure detailed on metalink.oracle.com).

  • Occasional ora-6502 using forms 6i and 10g

    Hi all.
    We have been experiencing some weird and unexpected ora-6502 errors in some of our forms 6i modules running against 10g (rel 1 or 2).
    Forms modules are correctly functioning and for some reason, one day an ora-6502 error suddenly pops up.
    Now the weirdest thing is that after you put some messages on the trigger, so you can track down where the error is coming from, it disappears.
    I know that this may sound hard to believe, but it has happened several times. All we do is put some message built in, recompile all, and the error is gone (for a while).
    So my questions are:
    - Is this a known issue beween forms 6i and 10g Db?.
    - Is there a patch on Metalink ( we use Forms [32 bits] Versión 6.0.8.26.0 (Producción))
    - A workaround?
    and most important
    - Have anyone been exposed to a similar situation?
    Regards, Luis ...!

    Now the weirdest thing is that after you put some messages on the trigger, so you can track down where the error is coming from, it disappears.Sounds like the form has not been "clean compiled" against the server on which it is running. Try a "Compile All", which causes all previously compiled program units to be compiled fresh.
    Or even better, clean out all the compiled code from your fmb before compiling the fmb on the server where it runs.
    See this topic:   Re: Why does this happen - find ';', replace with ';'?

  • Query records using a date DD-MON-YYYY in Forms 6i and 10g

    In Forms 6i, I can query records by entering >20-dec-2006 in a date field which has length of 12 with a date format mask DD-MON-YYYY in date item property. Once this form is converted to 10g, I can only enter >2-dec-2006 for querying. If trying to enter the >20-dec-2006, then, it becomes >20-dec-200 and have no record found. Although I have the date length increased to 20, the result stays the same: can't enter 2 digits for day.
    Thanks for your help in advance.

    Appreciate your help. The date field has a format mask of DD-MON-YYYY. By entering >2-dec-2005 it will automatically be displayed as >2-DEC-2005 in Forms 6i or 10g. Also, the query property has case insensitive checked as Yes. The problem is with 10g, I can not enter anything at the 12th position. I can enter the date up to the 11th position >20-dec-200. In Forms 6i, this is not a problem. Thanks.

  • Chart in Forms 9i or 10g

    Escuse me, my english is no so good. But my cuestion is, Can i work with graph (new version) in Forms 9i or 10g. I try to work with Chart Item but is imposible.

    Josune,
    there is a Whitepaper available in teh Forms9i collateral section on otn.oracle.com/products/forms that explains how to use Graphics 6i in a 9i environment. This however is not a smooth integration and - if for simple charts - I suggest to look at the BI graph Bean example in teh Forms9i demos.
    http://otn.oracle.com/sample_code/products/forms/index9i.html
    Its in the first extension pack. You can see a screenshot on teh page too.

  • Date format Problem in forms&reports Services 10g

    Hi Dears,
    I Faced a problem during running reports ( i am using forms& Reports Services 10g), when i pass the parameters via parameter form to the report (built in forms10g Rel 2.0) its appearing in arabic like (25-يناير-2010) as my Date Formate is (DD-YYYY-MON) and NLS_LANG parameter is defined as Arabic_Saudi arabia.AR8MSWIN1256 so as a result report is not running due to unknown Date formate, how can i change the Same Date format (DD-YYYY-MON) to appear in english like (25-2010-JAN)
    Thanks

    You could specify the parameter as type VARCHAR2, explicitly cast it (maybe to DD.MM.YYYY) when you pass it from forms and cast it back in your query, like TO_DATE(:P_PARAM, 'DD.MM.YYYY')
