Tools to enforce Forms / Reports 9i Standards?

Does anyone know of any good tools to enforce Forms / Reports 9i Standards? Thinsg like naming conventions, structure and so on.
Ive heard the .NET IDE has had these kinds of features for a while and had hoped Oracle wouyld have taken a similar position with 10G.

Yep Im with you there and we are already doing that (at least we should be!). The problem is that theres no way of knowing for sure what someone has done without manually checking all their code and with tools like Forms its very easy to miss hidden logic.
Some kind of QA tool to evaluate an FMBs conforming to a predefined set of standards would be very helpful. Esepcially if combined with SCM it had to achieve a pre defined grade or score before you were allowed to check it in.

  • Tool to change forms / reports.

    Hi Guys,
    Is there any tool available to change all forms/reports source code.
    I am asking this because I have to change the company name used as header of my 500 forms and 756 reports and also some other changes like this. To do manually it takes a lot of time. Can I have any tool which can save my time ?
    thanks in advance

    Just to add a little more, you can also use JDAPI outside the bean to change the source of your forms.
    But I suggest to correct the logic of your application while you're at it, change the text filed to an item where you populate the value from the database.
    This way if you again change the company you won't need to go on the source again and again. It will be dynamic.

  • Installation Guidance (WebLogic 10.3.5 / Oracle Forms,Reports 11.1.1.6)

    Goal : I am a designer/developer, have worked on already-installed systems for years, now between contracts and want/need to set up my own installation of Oracle Database 11g R2 database and development tools including Oracle Forms/Reports 11g (also SQL Developer and Application Express, but these come with the DB).
    Caveat : have not done an installation of the DB and development tools for years and I know a lot has changed.
    System : Windows 7 (64 bit), 6 GB RAM, 600 GB Hard Drive
    Here is an overview of the steps as I understand them from the documentation I've been able to find. I know there are lots of details for each step but I want to know if the overall order is right.
    1. Install DB (downloaded Oracle 11G Release 2, ready to install Enterprise Edition).
    2. Install Repository Creation Utility 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.5.0) to set up the schemas for Fusion Middleware
    ** QUESTION ** where on earth does one find this? Anyone have a link for it? Or does it come with a larger patchset/installation set?
    3. Install Oracle WebLogic Server 11g (10.3.5)
    4. Install Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer Release 11g (11.1.1.2.0) but do not configure (advice given in documentation for 11.1.1.6 Patchset)
    5. Install and Configure 11.1.1.6 Patchset
    Any comments or suggestions welcome. Hope to avoid pitfalls if possible.
    Thanks in advance !

  • Is there any impact analysis tool for Oracle Forms and Reports

    Hi All
    We are curretly looking at tools available to do impact analysis in Oracle Forms and Reports. This is for the maintainance of a large Oracle application developed using forms and reports 10g. We use Oracle Designer but only to maintain the db structure and not for forms and reports generation. Our intension is to find out the impact of db model changes, stored procedure changes in Oracle Forms and Reports. Please suggest any tools that are currently used for this purpose.
    I remember manually maintaining the CRUD matrix for Oracle Forms and Reports for maintainance purpose. CRUD matrix will have the list of all the tables which are affected by the module. But this is a manual activity and hence the responsibility is with the dev team to keep the document updated. Please suggest if there is any alternative to this way which can be more effecient and less error prone...
    I also wonder how these are done in Oracle ERP? how the apps team in oracle is maintaining the forms and reports?
    Thnaks in Advance
    Mahesh Mathew

    Quest (the makers of TOAD) have a tool called SQL Impact which gathers data from forms, reports, triggers, packages etc.
    FormsMate is a simple, cheap alternative for comparing or searching in forms.
    http://www.jockvale.ca/products.html
    Alternatively, you can export forms to xml (with iff2xml90.bat) and reports to jsp (with rwconverter) and simply grep those and your sql scripts. There are grep tools for windows if you need.

  • How long Oracle plans to support Forms/Reports 6i ?

    Hello dear Oracle Forms users/developers,
    The "Oracle Forms: Features Obsolescence for Release 9i", which I downloaded from OTN, clearly indicates that the client-server runtime will be obsolete in 9i, and (quote) "users who currently deploy their application in a client-server environment and who wish to upgrade to 9i will have to Web-deploy their application as part of the upgrade process" (page 3). It also indicates that Oracle Graphics will not be shipped with Forms 9i. If someone needs Graphics, then Graphics 6i (not 9i) need to be installed into a separate Oracle_Home...
    I have been trying to convince some Oracle product managers for years to continue supporting the runtime environment. Oracle always refused to include the "runtime only" installation option for any flavor of unix (eventhough it was available for windows).
    The above news (of the fading away of client-server runtime option) really did upset me.
    We have been developing applications with Oracle Forms/Reports/Graphics for the client-server environment as the database frontend to different simulation models. Our forms includes buttons that allows the end-users to download/upload ascii files to the file system/database. We and our customers (including the international users) are very happy with the client-server runtime option and don't want to use the forms server (or the iAS) just to be able to run these complex forms/reports/graphics applications.
    Oracle keeps telling people that it will be cheaper to move to iAS and serve the forms via iAS forms services. For small size client-server applications this is absolutely not true. We are an Oracle partner and I have discussed the licensing issues with them and am aware of the deploying costs. Let me tell you couple of things:
    1. Oracle forms/reports services included only in the enterprise version of 9iAS, not the standard version.
    2. If the end-user is licensed for Oracle database server and has a copy of Forms/Reports Developer 6i, then they can run the client-server application without any extra license (number of users does not apply in this case).
    3. Forms/Reports Developer 6i is not a separate product and could be obtained by purchasing iDS (internet Developer Suite) or iAS EE license. iDS is a windows only product and includes designer 6i, Jdeveloper additional to the forms/reports developer 6i. Someone might say, "the end-user might not need all the extra just to be able to run your forms". Answer to that is the cost of purchasing a 2 years license for iDS is almost equal or cheaper than the cost of 2 years named user license (based on the fact that 9iAS EE has a 10 named user minimum requirement). And the end-user can install only the forms/reports part of iDS (given the fact that forms/reports 6i is available for different platforms including solaris - does not have to be windows).
    4. This information if from the Oracle Partnership and any Oracle employee which doubts about it should talk to them to verify.
    Here are my questions:
    ========================
    Given all these FACTS (our satisfaction level with the client-server environment with Forms/Reports Developer 6i and the licensing information) I would like to ask to those Oracle employees (or personnel) how they justified the termination of the client-server runtime in Forms 9i?
    If the Forms/Reports Developer 6i will be the only (and the last) version that supports client-server runtime environment, how long Oracle is going to support it?
    I need to know to decide if we should use the forms/reports in our future projects or not.
    Thank you (for reading all this crap) and best regards.
    Zafer AKTAN
    Oracle DBA/Developer

    Question 1
    I would like to ask to those Oracle employees (or personnel) how they justified the termination of the client-server runtime in Forms 9i?
    This descicion was made from feedback from our customers. Feedback from the Forms Customer Advisory Board and the Oracle Developer Tools Group (ODTUG) indicated that they are 1)in the process of moving their client-server applications to the web, 2)have already moved to the web, 3)are looking at web stategies and 4)this is also the direction that Oracle Applications division is taking.
    It is proven that while liscencing for the web may not be cheaper in itself, the total cost of ownership is cheaper with web deployment once you figure in the ease of maintanence, deployment, and configuration.
    Question 2
    If the Forms/Reports Developer 6i will be the only (and the last) version that supports client-server runtime environment, how long Oracle is going to support it?
    Yes, Forms 6i is the last version to support client-server runtime. 6i will be patched through 2006 with extended support through 2008.

  • Where to start for becoming a Forms&Reports developer????

    Hello
    I am new to Oracle and just finished tutorial that comes with db 10g xe.
    I want to become a forms&reports&design developer but I don't know where to start as in Oracle website there are so many tools,etc.
    Please any of you help me to put me in starting point otherwise it will be time consuming not knowing where to start.
    one of the guy made a comment saying:
    Oracle Forms and Reports is a bit 'old' now, and Oracle seems to be moving more towards web development with Application Express (APEX) (This comes with Oracle XE as standard). There is web development done in Forms and Reports but it looks like Oracle are moving away from these in favour of APEX.
    Do you think it 's worth to pursue with oracle forms,report??
    I don't want to learn something that is or soon will be out off market or absolete.
    But even with APEX which tool should i start to learn \ use to become forms&reports,design developer??
    Which is the best way to pursue in development sense for forms,...??
    Please help me to find my starting point for that secific developement.
    Please copy\past all the URL to start with.

  • From Forms Product Management - New Forms/Reports install option

    Oracle Product Management are pleased to announce the release of Forms/Reports Services only download and install option of Oracle Application Server 10g.
    This provides an option to the EE to install those components related only to running Forms and Reports.
    To download please go to http://otn.oracle.com/software/products/forms/ and please feel free to post any comments.
    Regards
    Grant Ronald
    Forms Product Management

    I did create a posting on OTN almost a year ago asking if/when 9iAS light version (forms/reports/graphs only) will be available at a reduced cost.
    Oracle now announced (and also proved my claims that it was not a technical but marketing decision not to make forms/reports part of iAS a separate product) the separate download/install option for forms/reports services.
    My original posting attracked more than 100 folks (including Shay, Frank and Grant) but was not fruitful to convince Oracle to make forms/reports services a separate product targeted for the small companies, who might not need/use the rest of the 9iAS framework. I believe, seeing one side of the coin and enforcing your opinion by ignoring the cry of many others (including many ODTUG members) is not a wise solution for your existing small business and niche market (using Oracle db and tools for very specific purposes such as simulations, etc on intranets - and operating under strict security protocols not to open up to internet) customers.
    Grant and Shay repeatedly wrote on this forum and presented via whitepapers, etc. that forms/reports services are not fading away and it is a complementary solution to JDeveloper and emphasized that JDeveloper is not the replacement of forms/reports services. This news was very good for existing forms/reports developers.
    Given that forms/reports services is now separately available, why not making Forms/Reports Designer and Forms/Reports services (only) part of iAS a separate product? as Oracle did the very same with JDeveloper?

  • Migrating forms/reports 6i to 11g

    Hi,
    Im looking for a step-by-step guide to migrate from form/reports 6i to forms 11g.
    I found the document bellow. Can one suggest more resources ?
    Oracle® Forms
    Upgrading Oracle Forms 6i to Oracle Forms 11g
    11g Release 1 (11.1.1)
    E10394-01Thanks

    I'm thinking no because a large part of it depends upon how the 6 Forms were written.
    You probably already have this:
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/forms/index-095046.html
    Oracle Doc 207396.1 has some information too.

  • SSO and Forms/Reports Standalone Installation

    Hi,
    we have different Oracle AS as forms/reports standalone installations in our company.
    SSO_FORMSID and GROUP_DN were configured during the OracleAS installation. So you have during installation to define OID parameters (host, port). But that input is only required within complete application server installation.
    In standalon installation you cannot define OID setting.
    But in formsConfig.properties and formsweb.cfg placeholder for SSO are available.
    So it is possible to use standalone forms with SSO. And how can I do that.
    I understand that I have to define SSO_FORMSID for application server and same ID I have to register in OID. But how?1
    br Kay Basler

    The SSO information is included in those files because they are standard files across all installation types. Without the full installation (Infrastructure and Middle Tier) you cannot use SSO.
    Refer to the following for a list of all restrictions associated with the Forms/Reports Services installation:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/10g/FormsReportsServicesInstallation.htm

  • Install and config issues with Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer

    For a while now I've been struggling with migrating a testing database to a newer version.
    And right now I'm pretty much stuck at trying to configure Oracle Portal, Forms Reports and Discoverer
    What I've got:
    Windows server 2008 R2 64bit
    Oracle 11g database
    Java 6u27 64bit
    JDK 1.6 64bit (using this after 1.7 ended up throwing out bugs while trying to start a weblogic server)
    JDK 1.7 64bit
    Weblogic 10.3.5 (or so i think - I've installed from the wls1035_generic.jar from the oracle website)
    PFRD 11.1.1.2 with 11.1.1.3 installed over it, installed without config
    and a hanging up configuration
    Basically I've been trying to install PFRD (only forms, reports and enterprise manager from it actually) but it kept failing once it got to the configuration stage, so I installed without config, applied 11.1.1.3 and now trying to run the config manually with the good old \bin\config.bat
    Result - the config froze for approx.18 hours then failed
    There isn't much useful info I could deduct from the logs, mostly just says one or more configuration parts failed. At one place it mentions trying to set up a domain and starting up an adminserver for it - and apparently that's where it hangs up and finally times out and fails.
    I'm a little clueless what to do about it as the logs don't say anything else of use I could understand. Any ideas there?

    Trying the step by step, the only difference between that and what i do seems to be the file copying (which I can't do - there is no windows\extra\ directory anywhere, the files mentionned seem to already be on their places and either only there, or exactly the same) and clistering
    So far the news ain't good - the config process hangs on creating domain ->Step Creating Domain started
    It isn't frozen per se - the process doesn't use up any processor time, memory consumption within bounds, it reacts to button clicks and all..it just doesn't do anything concerning the said domain
    the last thing the .out file shows:
    Creating a new AdminServer Object ...
    AdminServer port is 7002
    Starting the domain ...

    does that clear up anything for you though?
    ..can the lack of SOA suite have anything to do with the problem?

    <b>Report painter</b>
    A tool for creating reports that meet specific business and reporting requirements.
    The Report Painter enables you to report on data from various applications. It uses a graphical report structure that forms the basis for the report definition. When defining the report, you work with a structure that corresponds to the final structure of the report when the report data is output.
    The SAP System is delivered with several row and column models that can be used as building blocks to help you create reports quickly and simply.

  • 2-Tier form/report implementation!

    Hi all,
    Where can I find information to implement 2-tier (client/server) with Developer 6i?
    Is it possible to do it without installing form/report server?
    Thanks in advance!

    For client/server application you don't need
    form/report server.
    All information you can find in this directory:
    <<oracle_home>>\TOOLS\DOC60\us\guide60\.
    There are *.htm files and also guide60.pdf.

  • Weblogic Server upgrade along with Forms & Reports

    Hi Gurus,
    I would need some help on upgrading one our Weblogic server from 10.3.2 to 10.3.6. Also, we have forms & reports ( version: 11.1.1.2 ) configured on this server and we would have to upgrade this to version: 11.1.2.1
    Can you please help me or point me to a good document to do this.
    I am a DBA and my weblogic experience is very little.
    Thanks

    Hi Prakash,
    First, very smart decision to move to 11gR2 Forms - performance is much better in 11gR2. Customers i've worked with, are very happy with it compared to 11gR1.
    Now, if you want to upgrade from 11gR1 (11.1.1.2) to 11gR2 Forms (11.1.2.1), I would do a new install. Simply because, there is no simple/straight-forward Architecture upgrade path from 11gR1 to 11gR2 Forms. And the installation will also be a clean isntall. Don't worry about your forms/reports source code, you can just recompile no problem in 11gR2 Forms.
    If you want to do a re-install heres some things to consider:
    1.) Update and/or Install an Oracle certified JDK - you can verify the correct JDK in the certification matrix provided by oracle: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/forms/oracle-forms-11gr2certmatrix-519680.xls
    2.) Verify your OS is certified with Forms 11gR2
    3.)Install WLS in a new middleware Home.
    4.) At his point, you should install the Oracle Forms 11gR2 Binaries Home in your new 10.3.6 Middleware Home.
    5.) Optional: If you want the same exact ports as 11gR1 Forms installation - you'll have to shutdown all the 11gR1 Forms/Reports processes- OPMN Processes, WLS_FORMS, WLS_REPORTS, AdminServer.
    5.) Run the Forms 11gR2 Configuration Wizard to install and configure a new Forms 11gr2 domain.
    6.) After the configuration wizard completes successfully:
    - Migrate over your formsweb.cfg/env settings
    - Migrate ORACLE_HOME customizations
    - Definitely install/configure webutil components
    - Migrate over any other additional customizations
    If you run into any weird issues, check out my companies knowledge base, its full of installation knowledge: http://pitss.com/us/knowledgebase/
    Hope this helps!

  • Oracle Forms&Reports certification - choose the right path

    Dear professionals,
    I'm Oracle Forms and Reports developer for about 10 years. Now, I'm on the way to become Forms and Reports certified professional (either to be Forms Developer Professional or Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Forms Developer):
    https://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=653&get_params=p_id:177#tabs-1-3
    In order to achieve my goal, first I have to pass Oracle PL/SQL Developer Certified Associate exam:
    http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=458&get_params=p_track_id:PLSQl
    After I read one of @matthew_morris articles, I decided to choose in the step one exam (1Z0-051 Oracle Database 11g: SQL Fundamentals I). I prepared this exam. 
     Now, I'm preparing for the next step where I have to pass one of these exams:1Z0-147 Program with PL/SQL or 1Z0-144 Oracle Database 11g: Program with PL/SQL
    What's your suggestion for me (since I'm developer and tend to be in the future)? I carefully read the next article but I still have some dilemmas:
    http://ezinearticles.com/?Oracle-PL/SQL-Developer-Certification:-1Z0-147-or-1Z0-144?&id=7190832
    Any suggestion will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Adnan

    I will say I am biased toward 1z0-144.
    And very anti 1z0-147.
    and believe 1z0-147 has bad practices (and training material certainly has), unless it has been overhauled to 2015 standards.  It has probably introduced and left many newbies in the dinosaur ages.
    I think 1z0-147 has some client size programming orientations, but that said i feel it is more to say Forms 4.5 standards.  It is nowhere near 12c !
    It also got scheduled for withdrawal at some point but got a last minute retrieve ( https://blogs.oracle.com/certification/entry/0864_01).
    I wonder if was due to the oracle ODP programme still teaching for it much later than they should have been .... ( if my sarcasm continues i would get red carded so i shall shut up).
