Is there a software to migrate from FORMS amd REPORTS to JAVA?

Let's say I want to make all my forms and reports to work as java (so I can use them to connect in any database).
Does there exist any software to do so?
gracias

Connecting to any database doesn't mean you need to convert them to Java. This is what the transparent gateways are aimed at.
http://otn.oracle.com/products/gateways/index.html
If you still think that you want to migrate to Java (what specifically are you looking at Swing applications or JSP applications) have a look at this paper:
http://otn.oracle.com/products/forms/htdocs/FormsJavaSOD.html
In any case I would suggest that you take a deep look at whether there is any business justification for such a migration - it basically mean you are looking to pay money in order to get the same functionality, so where is the benefit?

Data migration from Forms to Reports

Hello,
Does anyone know how to migrate numerous data from Oracle forms to reports, without using parameter lists or parameters, and also withour the use of temporary tables since my platform is 8.0.6 and forms 4.5?
Thanks for any replies

hi daniel,
you could write your data from forms into a text file. seperate
the values using for example a comma (or something else).
use the text datasource in reports 9i to query directly from
this file.

Migrate from forms 3.0 to forms 7.0

thanks in advance.

FIrst thing, there is no Forms 7 - the next release of Forms aftre 6i will be Oracle9i Forms.
Anyway to migrate a Form I would suggest looking at the OTN papers as we have a note on migrating Forms 3 -> Forms 6.

You will have to do this before you migrate to Oracle 9i Forms.

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).

Run a report in Forms 9i after migration from Forms 6i

Hi,
I face the following problem:
We do have to migrate from Forms 6i to 9i. In our "old" application, reports where called by using RUN_PRODUCT (in different forms and menues). But to start a report in 9i environment, RUN_REPORT_OBJECT must be used. Does the report has to be an object in the calling form or is it possble to start it as we used to directly from the file system ?
Regards,
Markus

hi
you need to create a report object in the object navigator.
and follow these

          ELSE
               DESTROY_PARAMETER_LIST('p1');
               PL_ID:=CREATE_PARAMETER_LIST('P1');

Display graphs in 10g on migration from forms 6i

Hello,
plesase can u tell me how will u display forms in 10g on migration from forms 6i?

The HOST command in Forms can only call procedures on the client that runs Forms (assuming you run Forms in client/server mode, this is the user's PC).
If you want to run a procedure on the database host, you have to call this procedure from the database, not from Forms.
In 8i the easiest way is to do this via a Java stored procedure:

Graphics from Forms or Reports

When I am running graphics from forms or reports either using the chart wizard or by run_product built-in, I am getting error message OG-01603: UNABLE TO CREATE PL/SQL DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT CONTEXT
I am using Developer 6i.
Please help me out.
Thanks
Zulqarnain

I have tested on my pc it is perfectly working.
Please check before installations..
Is there any other oracle product is running in the same machine?
1. Are you installing Dev 6i in a machine where Oracle database(8.0 or 8i) is installed?
2.First shutdown the database. Stop the oracle services running.
3. Then start installing Dev 6i in a different oracle home.

Passing date parameter from forms to report

Hi,
I'm using forms and reports 6i.
I want to pass one date parameter from forms to reports.
Using
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'P_FROM_DATE',TEXT_PARAMETER,:FROM_DT);
giving me error REP-0091- Invalid value for parameter 'P_FROM_DATE'
This i think is because report expects date and here it is converted as varchar.
Please help

Hi Divya,
Even I use this kind of statement
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'P_FROM_DATE',TEXT_PARAMETER,:FROM_DT);and works fine for me.
This i think is because report expects date and here it is converted as varchar
Correct.
Open the report in the builder and under Data Model -> User Parameters, Go to the Property Inspector of P_FROM_DATE. Under Parameter, set Datatype as Character instead of Date.
Hope this should work. and tell me if it works(coz it wokred for me).

How to pass parameters from Forms to Reports

dear all,
i'm running a report from a form using run_product(), now i want
to pass a parameter from a form to report, say i want to display
all the employees of deptno=10, so what parameter should i give
in run_product() and what modifications should i make in the
report???
thanks and regards
Tariq.

Yeah,
You can pass parameters to from form to report using
Parameter list. E.g. You want to display all employees of Dept
10.
1. Create report with one user paramter say p_dept
2. Now Using Parameter list and Run Product you can call report,
see following procedure.
/* This Procedure passes department number as a paramter to
Report and displays Report.
Author - Mr. Adinath R. Kamode
Parameter - Deptname (p_dept)
PROCEDURE CALL_REPORT (V_DEPT IN NUMBER)
          V_PLIST          PARAMLIST;               -
- Parameter List and Name
          V_PLISTNAME           VARCHAR2
(30) := 'RPTLIST';
BEGIN
-- Check existance of Parameter List
          V_PLIST := GET_PARAMETER_LIST(V_PLISTNAME);
          IF ID_NULL (V_PLIST) THEN
               V_PLIST := CREATE_PARAMETER_LIST
(V_PLISTNAME);
               IF ID_NULL (V_PLIST) THEN
                         MESSAGE('Error in
creating parameter list.');
                         MESSAGE('.');
                         RAISE
FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE;
               END IF;
-- Add parameter data , name must be same as in Report
     ADD_PARAMETER(V_PLIST,'P_DEPT',TEXT_PARAMETER,TO_CHAR
(V_DEPT));
-- Don't display parameter Form
     ADD_PARAMETER(V_PLIST,'PARAMFORM',TEXT_PARAMETER,'NO');
RUN_PRODUCT

Migrating Oracle forms and reports from 6i to 10g Application server on Uni

HI Guys,
We are migrating from Oracle forms and reports 6i to 10g.
We will be having application server on Unix box.
I understand following will be the changes i will have to do in this respect -
1. Fonts are to be revisited only Java fonts are supported.
2. Obsolete items, function calls, triggers are to be removed.
My question is since this application can be cross platform application,
Can anyone provide me with changes that I will have to do with configuration files like -
1. Formsweb.cfg,
2. forms.conf
3. default.env
4. registry.dat
Keeping in mind that the application server will be on unix box.
Thanks,
Av.

Java fonts are only supported for the Forms version.
You can use your own fonts for Reports however, there is some legwork to do this. I know because I just went through it.
If you will only being using the PDF output (which for me replaced the Preview mode that existed in 6i), then you have to install the TTF for the missing font, an AFM (use the ttf2pt1 utility to generate the AFM file, but make sure you remove the AFM extension when moving it to Unix). You'll want to use the PDF Subset in the uifont.ali (which exists under the ORACLE_HOME/guicommon/tk/admin directory and add the line underneath the PDF Subset "Font Family Name"="TTF Font Name" The font family name is found when you open the AFM file in textpad or wordpad for the font you generated. This is what you enter. The TTF Font Name is the name the TTF font. You'll have to restart Reports Server after this.
If printing to the printer directly is an option you must have, I will tell you it does not work in Linux right now. You can print to the printer but if the font doesn't exist on the internal memory of the printer, it won't work. There are 3rd party utilities like ORARRP and PDFPrint that can take care of this but, each has its own limitations. The one thing I found with ORARRP is if you generate a Report with an RRPA file extension and open it on Windows, it works great, the printer dialog comes up asking you what printer you want to print too. However, if you call this in Linux/Unix with the filename, it brings it up in the web browser but doesn't prompt you for your printer to print too automatically. So, for me, it's a show stopper. My only other option is to install the fonts on the printer that are missing.
As for the files you want to change, you'll obviously have to make changes to the formsweb.cfg, default.env, forms.conf. I have to modify the reports.sh for some PL/SQL attached libraries to make sure it picks them up. I did have to modify Registry.dat.
There is alot of work but mainly forms wasn't too bad, unless you had fonts that weren't supported. Usually there is another font that you can use to replace the old one but you have to know which fonts exists on the server and try all the keys on the keyboard to find the corresponding keystroke.
Hope this helps.
Chris
