Hi,
I would like to know if there are any oracle tools available for migrating Oracle forms to j2ee.I read that " Oracle JHeadstart 10g" migrates the forms 6i to java/html.Does Oracle JHeadstart 10g also migrate forms 5 to j2ee.I am new to both oracle forms and j2ee and any information about this would be a great help.
Thanks,
Kevin

Kevin,
there are a couple of migration partners that offer their migration tool and many are listed on the otn page for Forms (otn.oracle.com/products/forms). You may want to make yourself a picture of how efficient such a migration coul dbecome

Migrating Oracle forms to APEX 3.2 without using Forms2XML tool

Can we migrate Oracle forms to APEX 3.2 without using Forms2XML tool?

Hi Anoo,
In order to convert Oracle Forms to Oracle Application Express, using the Forms Conversion utility in Oracle APEX 3.2, you are required to convert your Forms Module (FMB) files to XML format, using the Oracle Forms to XML conversion tool, Forms2XML. I would recommend that you review Chapter 4 [Converting an Oracle Forms Application|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14373_01/migrate.32/e13368/appmgr_forms.htm] , in the Oracle Application Express Migration Guide Release 3.2
If you have any further questions relating to the Oracle Forms to Oracle Application Express conversions, I would recommend that you refer to the [Application Express|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/forum.jspa?forumID=137] forum.
I hope this helps.
Regards,

I think it is better for you to ask this question in Oracle Forms/Oracle Forms Server development forum.
This issue would better addressed in Development forums.

Migrate Oracle Forms 4.5 to APEX

Hi Gurus,
We are in the process of migrating Oracle Forms 4.5 to Oracle APEX 3.2.1. In order to use the Forms to XML conversion tool, they say the Form version should be at least 6i.
I would be more grateful if somebody can get me Forms 4.5 to 6 or 9 migration guide and if possible some examples, so that I can proceed with this migration.
Any help on this would be very much appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,

Oracle supports there tools because there are often needs to move technologies. What made Forms the right choice 10 years ago may not mean it is the right choice now. Hence, it might make sense to switch. Any tool which can take you some of the way can be a help. However, we also have to be realistic on what these tools can do.
If you are aware that a tool takes you to a solution which is less than optimal than if you had designed it from scratch but its good enough for you then fine. If thats what you want and the tool does it for you then go for it.
My experience, and I'm fortunate to have worked with hundreds of Forms customers/projects is that the hype/excitement sometimes has to be balanced with some practical real world experience.
Even moving PL/SQL from Forms into the database is a difficult task and thats the same language.

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.

Oracle forms/reports on java

HI ALL,
We are in the midst of migrating java from 1.3 to 1.42 or 1.5.
So what I would like to know is that, is there any compatibility issue with oracle forms 6i running on jre 1.5 or 1.42 and Oracle Report 9i running on JRE 1.42 or Java 1.5.
Is there any document that oracle provides or if you have any known issues or documentation on these issues pls let me know.
Regards
Deepak

Thanks for your reply. We are currently using 10.1.2 BIP.
I tried calling bipublisher report , by displaying the link on report report as a field value.
Link displayed:
" href =http://dbserv10.nsf.org:7788/xmlpserver/NUCLEUS/CUS_CONTRACT/CUS_CONTRACT.xdo?id=ubii&passwd=xxxxxxx&_xpf=&_xpt=1&_xt=CONT_GENERIC&CUS_CODE=41111&STD_CODE=ABCD&EFFECTIVE_DATE=03/24/2009PLANT1=&PLANT2=&PLANT3=&_xf=pdf> "
when i click this
CUS_CONTRACT.xdo opens and it asks for userid/pwd.
(Note: I want bipublisher report to be automatically opened when i give parameters and click submit button).
Let me know if you need more information.

Migrating Oracle Forms to BC4J Architecture

Hi,
i'am currently searching for people/guidelines who experienced the migration
from Oracle Forms to a BC4J architecture; with a JavaSwing client interface.
Did they succeed ?
What we're the pitfalls ?
What did they do with the typical Oracle Forms built-ins ?
Which framework, migration products,etc did they use ?
All info is welcome.
chris

we just had a workshop validating the tool from Informatic Atelier.
We were disappointed as the tool gives poor or no solution for the Business Logic in the form module.
User Interface - Oke moreOrLess (Jtable rrrrrr!!!)
Data - oke; BC4J ;Entity object no problem; View objects no problem
Business Logic - NOT oke; trigger code and program units are dumped into a java file; the rest is up to you.
This leaves a lot code to translated and reviewed. Don't forget that our client forms contains lots, lots of business logic.

How to Migrate Oracle Forms 10g 9.0.4 to 10.1.2

Hi I would like to find information on what is necessary to do in order to migrate Forms 10g 9.0.4 to 10.1.2.
Do I need to use Oracle Migration assistant ?
Is it enough only compile forms ?
Where I find documentation on how to execute this migration. I am only find documentatio to migrate from 6i to 10g, but I need documentation to migrate from Forms 10g 9.0.4 to 10.1.2.

Hi,
Thank you for the answer about Oracle forms.
Now I would like ask another question but this time for Oracle Application Server. As we have Oracle forms 10g 9.0.4 we also use the Application Server with this same version.
Do you have any recommendations on how to Migrate the Oracle Application Server from 10g 9.0.4 to 10.1.2 ?
Thank you .

Migrating Oracle Forms 6i application to 9i

Thanks,

Check also otn.oracle.com/formsupgrade. And as a final point I would not recommend going to 9i - its desupported - upgrade to 10g (10.1.2) of Forms

Suggetions required for migrating Oracle forms 4.5 to 10G

Hi,
We are migrating an application, which is built using oracle forms 4.5 to oracle 10G forms. I have following queries:
1. We are trying to automate some steps in this process using following approach:
a. Migrating forms 4.5 to 6i using command line option
b. Migrating forms 6i to 10G using migration assistant
c. Using forms API for setting some properties automatically like Coordinate system, fonts etc.
But Still there are several steps that need to be taken care manually. Esp. GUI correction related. Can any body suggest any thing additional to this or any better approach.
2. What is the best way of approaching this migration? Are there standard tools available and are they realy useful ( or still lot's to be done manually).
3. Any other useful tip.
Regards
Arpan
