  • How to connect Forms 6i & Reports 6i with oracle 10g R2?

    Hey everybody,
    I need your help in connecting both Forms 6i & Reports 6i with Oracle 10g Release 2 db, MS Access(2003, 2007) and SQL database(Microsoft Visual Studio 2008). I am a newbie. I have installed all of them on my HP notebook, with Windows 7 Ultimate(32 bit OS) installed. I want to generate forms & reports by accessing data from above mentioned databases. Please provide me with the configuration steps.
    Thanks in advance...!

    Welcome to the forum ;-)
    Please be sure to review the following:
    http://blogs.oracle.com/shay/entry/10_commandments_for_the_otn_fo
    First, I think it would be a good idea if we can understand why you have chosen to use a nearly new operating system yet install Oracle products that are 10 years old (i.e. Forms/Reports 6i) on it. In general, this is not a good idea. Although running such an old version on Win7 can be made to work, the possibility of having problems is likely. If you are infact new to the product, using a configuration where you are likely to have problems may not be a good starting place. Also, you should be aware that Forms/Reports 6i was desupported several years ago. Documentation and other information is gradually being replaced by newer information, so resources for this old version are going away. The latest version of Forms/Reports is part of Fusion Middleware 11R2 (version 11.1.2.0) and requires WebLogic Server 10.3.5 (or 10.3.6) in order to be installed.
    Second, if you decide to stick with F/R 6i, are you planning to run the applications you create in a browser or as a client/server application? This information is important because how you connect to a database will slightly differ depending on which option you choose. Also, if you want to connect to non-Oracle data sources you can use ODBC for client/server or Oracle Transparent Gateway. However, if you plan to deploy the applications using a browser, Gateway is your only option for connecting to non-Oracle datasources. As for connecting to MS Access, I believe ODBC is your only option, so web deployment may not be an option.
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/gateways.102/b14270/ch1.htm
    There are many other references available. Try a Google search.
    As for connecting to an Oracle database, this is generally easy. For the Builder(s) and client/server runtime to connect, add the db information to the tnsnames.ora found in the Oracle Home (installation directory) \network\admin. If you are unfamiliar with what goes in the file you can copy the entries created for your database. The db will have a similar file found in a similar place in its installation directory (Oracle Home). For example, you might find something like this:
    ORCL =
    (DESCRIPTION =
        (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = YOURSERVER.COM)(PORT = 1521))
        (CONNECT_DATA =
          (SERVER = DEDICATED)
          (SERVICE_NAME = orcl)
    )Simply copy this information to the end of your tnsnames.ora found where Forms/Reports is installed then restart any running Forms or Builders.

  • How to connect to SQL server 2000 with Oracle Form

    Hi,
    I'm looking for the document of how to connect "SQL Server 2000" with Oracle Form 6i. Anyone knows that?

    Shay or other knowledgeable folks,
    Is there a way to utilize the wizard for "Business Tier > ADF Business Components > Business Components from Tables" for SQL Server 2000, 2005 or 2008. I can successfully execute sql via java programmatically or import a table from SQL Server with "Business Tier > ADF Business Components > Entity Object" wizard, but the Business Components from Tables simply doesn't see any tables under any schema. Without the "Business Components from Tables", i don't get the referential constraints imported into the application and to code all those from scratch is just not as elegant. So far i have only utilized the sql server jdbc driver from Microsoft (versions, 1.1, 1.2 and 2.0). Is there an alternative client that i need to use to enable selecting tables from that "Business Components from Tables" wizard. Is this a limitation of SQL Server, the jdbc driver or the wizard itself? Did anybody else experience the same issues? I am using Jdeveloper 11.1.1.0.1 against SQL Server 2005 (currently)
    Thanks,
    Andy

  • How to configure backup parallel in SAP with oracle database?

    Dear SAP,
    We need your suggestion on oracle database backup parallel using brbackup, our SAP system run on:
    OS: UNIX - SUN Solaris SPARC 10
    SAP: ECC 6.0 SR3
    Database: Oracle 10.2.0.4
    Our production database are growing rapidly, estimate growing is 2GB/days. Right now we backup our Production using one tape that estimated time to online backup is 4-5hours.
    In there future, if we stayed this configuration. It will take long time to backup and restore it's not applicable. That's why we are planning to add more tapes during backup (4 tape parallel).
    I read from help.sap, that we can configure this on $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/init<SID>.sap. in parameter:
    compress = harware
    backup_dev_type = tape
    tape_address = (tape1, tape2, tape3, tape4)
    tape_address_rew = (tape1, tape2, tape3, tape4)
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/88/a2a041a5d4af4db168992639d65d3b/frameset.htm
    My question,
    If we want to backup parallel using 4 tapes, is this configuration that we need to do (init<SID>.sap) from sap side (DB13)?
    Thanks and Best Regards,
    Widi

    Dear Mark,
    Thanks for your help. actually I have one more question:
    How do I restore my backup form this 4 tapes, if I'm using parallel backup?
    Will the command same like I restore form 1 tape:
    example:
    brrestore u2013b beczqlnk.ant u2013m full
    brrestore u2013a 5371-5372=/oracle/<SID>/oraarch/
    Below are the paramter that I will configure:
    - tape_address = /dev/rmt/0cbn
    - compress = hardware
    - backup_dev_type = tape
    - exec_parallel = 4
    - tape_size = 1600000
    - tape_address = (dev/rmt/0mn, /dev/rmt/1mn, ..)
    - tape_address_rew = (dev/rmt/0m, /dev/rmt/1m, ..)
    Appreciate you help and suggestion on this.
    Dear Venkat,
    thanks for your suggestion

  • How to connect to a Sql server from Oracle using db link

    Hi All,
    Does anybody have any idea about how to connect to a sql server from oracle database using db link to syncronize the data? I need to pull the data from Sql server table to Oracle tables and relay messages back to the sql server.
    Thank you,
    Praveen.

    we have 2 products - DG4MSQL and DG4ODBC.
    DG4ODBC is for free and requires a 3rd party ODBC driver and it can connect to any 3rd party database as long as you use a suitable ODBC driver
    DG4MSQL is more powerfull as it is designed for MS SQL Server databases and it supports many functions it can directly map to SQL Server equivalents - it can also call remote procedures or participtae in distributed transactions. Please be aware DG4MSQL requires a license - it is not for free.
    Check out Metalink and you'll find notes how to configure both products.

    I believe I can not use a
    request.sendRedirectURL("....") in which I would
    encode all my parameters, because:Righto. This is a bit tricky.
    Basically, you have two options, and both of those are a little nasty.
    1) You could use and intermediate JSP page. Just dispatch you request to that page, use the attributes to construct a form with hidden fields, and use Javascript to POST that form to your intended URL on the document's BODY onload event. Would work, but wouldn't be pretty and requires you to use JSPs and Javascript. Still an idea.
    2) This is something that I wouldn't recommend. Open a socket to the URL you you want to post your data. Manually construct a HTTP POST request, encoding your parameters into the headers. Read and parse the response & modify your HttpServletResponse object accordingly.
    Take a look at i.e. http://javaalmanac.com/egs/java.net/PostSocket.html?l=new for some pointers.
    I'd go with item #1.
    For my own edification, I'd be also interested in
    knowing why such a function does not exist in the
    current httpServletRequest api.I suppose it's a little out of scope. Servlets were ment to interoperate inside one container, not across domains and different implementations.
    I'm guessing I must be missing something fundamentals
    maybe?No, you're not.

  • How to connect Apple TV to ipad2 with air play

    Hi...how to connect Apple TV to ipad2 with AirPlay

    Hi. Your Apple TV should be connected to the TV (I'm using HDMI cables) and connected to the internet via a wireless or ethernet connection.
    The best way to test AirPlay is to play a movie trailer from the iTunes store. When you play a trailer you will see the AirPlay symbol at the bottom of the screen. Click on it and it will show your AirPlay devices - in your case the Apple TV. Select it an your video and sound will come out of your TV.
    I hope this helps. Google the AirPlay symbol. I tried to paste it into this message with no success.

    The Trailer had Portuguese subtitles.
    The film rented hasn´t subtitles in Portuguese.
    How should do for get a version with Portuguese subtitles ?

    If the film's description page in the store says that it has Portuguese subtitles then they should show as an option when playing it : iTunes: Language settings for video - Apple Support
    If it doesn't show an option then the film might have been mis-labelled in the store, in which case try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • How use oracle forms with oracle database  in a local computer network(client -server homogenious network)

    Hello experts,             
                         I am new in Oracle forms.I am using oracle forms 11g with weblogic server 10.3.5 and oracle database 11g at windows 7 platform.
    I want to call my oracle forms(main  login form) from different computers(windows7) connected in a local network.My oracle database is installed in a server computer.I am not talking about oracle forms hosting in internet.I want to deploy oracle forms in a local computer network connected via LAN cable or wi-fi.
    thank You.

    In most cases you can copy the same entry found in the tnsnames.ora file used by the database.  In the database home, the file can be found in \network\admin.  Open the file and you should find something like this:
    yourAlias =
      (DESCRIPTION =
        (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.0.100)(PORT = 1521))
        (CONNECT_DATA =
          (SERVICE_NAME = orcl)
    So in the above, you would need to set the alias (this can be anything you like), the IP address or hostname of the machine where the database is running, the port number used by the db listener, and the service name used by the db.  Most of this will already be set for you if you are copying from the database tnsnames.ora.  So you should be able to just copy and paste.  More information about the tnsnames.ora file can be found in the db documentation:

    ,if i import some file through oracle database then same data will exist in forms database or not
    thanks

    Oracle Forms is a Rapid Application Development (RAD) tool not a database. With Forms, you connect to an Oracle database to query and display data from the database as well as insert new or update existing data. Consequently, if exists in the database - you should be able to display it in a Form.

  • How can I send files by FTP with Oracle Portal?

    I want to send some file by FTP.
    How can I send files by FTP with Oracle Portal?
    Any ideas?

    Enrique,
    Are you trying to transfer more content from remote locations to expose as items within a portal page? By itself, the Oracle Portal runs within the context of the database so I'm not sure how FTP at the OS level will help. However, if you're attempting to transfer files from a remote PC to upload within the Portal, here are a couple of suggestions.
    Option 1:
    A. Create a portal page.
    B. Convert a region to Items.
    C. When you're challenged to upload a file from the local OS, ensure you've a drive mapped to your remote location and pick the file to upload into the Oracle9iAS Portal.
    Option 2:
    Alternatively, the Oracle9iAS Portal 9.0.2 supports the WebDAV protocol(Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning Protocol) allowing endusers with a WebDAV client to upload content into the Portal seamlessly from their desktop.
    Pls. check out:
