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.

Dear
All you have to do is to install Forms, Reports Runtime on the client machine. Make a connect string referencing the Server. You can use either 'SQL Easy Configuration' or manually edit 'Tnames.ora' file found in
%ORACLE%\net80\admin\

Installing a Forms & Report middle Tier (10.1.2) on a 10.1.3 farm

I have to install a new farm based on the 10.1.3 release. I will install the Infrastracture and one middle tier in two different Oracle Homes. The problem is that I need also Forms & Report Services, and we know that there will be no F&R services until release 11. The question is:
can I install a 10.1.2 middle tier instance on top of a 10.1.3 infrastructure (with a different Oracle Homve, of course)?
Thanks in advance
Rino

AS 10.1.3 doesn't have any infrastructure (as well as not having Web Cache etc). The latest full release is 10.1.2.0.2, which includes infrastructure and Forms/Reports. For Identity Management, I'd recommend the new 10.1.4.
As indicated above, the latest Forms/Reports release is 10.1.2.0.2 (patched to 10.1.2.2), which is the one you should use. You can install either the full Application Server 10.1.2.0.2 with Forms/Reports, or use the Forms&Reports Only release.

How to implement password policy for a software in oracle (sql) forms & reports 6i ?

Hi all , I have to implement password policy for an already existing software which was created 2 to 3 years before.
What exactly i want to do is I must alert the user every month to change his/her password. I have no idea about it.
Can anyone help me how to start with it? Or can you provide me the links where i can learn & implement in the software?
Oracle Forms & Reports Builder 6i.
Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production.
Thank You.

You can try this:
Establishing Security Policies
Using database policy, you can force user to change password with Oracle forms 6i.

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:

The Best Releas Of Oracle Application Server 10g (BI Forms&Reports)

hi all
i am asking u to loock with me to the best solution for my environment
becuse we want to upgrade our Environment work :
Current Work Environment:
- Oracle Database Server R 8i as (database)
- Oracle Developer 2000 as (Forms & Reports)
our comunity is welling to upgrade our work to 10g
and we are asking for the best release that we can use to a complish the best senario for our environment .
i have the current seggestion :
- Upgrade the database to R 10gR2 (Export&Import).
- Install & Migrate the developer side as Infrastruction Appliction Server 10gR(10.1.2.0 ) .
- Install the Middle Tire as BI Forms&Reports & Migrate our whole system to the new Release using developer Suite 10g .
i am asking you'r seggestions & Best Bractice in my case .
also what is the most Stable relase we can use .
thanks .

Hi Ibrahim,
You can do an easier installation by only using base release of 10.1.2.0.2. What I stated would be good practice:
By * DB 10.2.0.3 ---- > u mean (Database Version) => Yes, use Database version 10.2.0.3
By * Identity Management 10.1.4.0.1 (OID/SSO) -----> u mean (Application Server infrastructure) => Yes, use Identity Management 10.1.4.0.1 instead of the infrastructure on Application Server 10.1.2.0.2
By * Application Server 10.1.2.0.2 -----> u mean (Middle Tire Forms&Report Services) => Yes, use Application Server 10.1.2.0.2 as middle-tier. When installed, upgrade it to 10.1.2.2 (with the latest patchset)
By * Patch Application Server DB client to 10.1.0.5 ----> u mean what? => Before you upgrade AS to 10.1.2.2 it's mandatory to upgrade the Database client software in the Application Server 10.1.2.0.2 home to 10.1.0.5. Default is 10.1.4. You'll see database client version by for instance starting SQL*Plus.
For your Developer (Forms) upgrade: Forms 4.0/4.5 - 6i -> 10g. See: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/upgrade/index.html. If you have tons of Forms, then I recommend using a tool like the great PITTS.CON (http://www.pitss.com/en/pcon/index.htm).

RUN_PRODUCT (Forms/Reports Upgrade)

Hello,
I have an Oracle Forms application.
The total application is about 44 forms and 7 reports developed under Oracle Forms/Reports 6i.
This is running in a Client/Server 2-tier model.
I want to upgrade to the Web with Oracle 9i Database and Application Server.
My forms use the RUN_PRODUCT modem to call Reports.
1) Do I need to rewrite my PL/SQL code to change the RUN_PRODUCT to RUN_REPORT_OBJECT ?
Regards,
PT

Paolo,
FMA does only perform required code changes. The run_product to run_report_object conversion requires you to provide values for the Reports Server name and the access path you use on your system. Further more the migration will set a default Reports output. if you want your application to programmatically control this, you will have to add code that sets the Reports format and the destination type. The added rp2rrp.pll library has procedures for this.
The compiler in Oracle Application Server can be used, but doesn't help if you hit a migration issue that wasn't handled by FMA. I would recommend to use the Oracle Developer Suite for migration.

Features Difference between 6i and 11gr2 (forms/reports)..

Hi all,
I just upgraded my old style menu-driven application from forms/reports 6i to 11gr2 and don't add features of 11gr2
still now. So, Its look like old one (6i).
So, please guide me what features should I add (like look-wise, working-wise, performance-wise etc.),
so that my application look like latest technology.
Thanks and Regards.
Bhatt.

The biggest difference between Forms 6i and Forms 11g is: 1) the ability to use features of the 11g database, 2) use Java Beans in your form to extend/enhance the functionaly and look-n-feel, 3) import Java directly into your form and interact with the Java through PL/SQL, 4) and most importantly, it is the current supported version of Forms. These are just the highlights. There are other differences.
In all honesty, what features you use should be driven by the needs of your customer. If your customer needs the application to use the response from a web service, then I would look at implementing a Java Bean in your app to support this customer driven need. I wouldn't recommend adding features just for the sake of adding features if they don't provide direct benefit to your customer. Just my opinion. :)
Hope this helps,
Craig...

10g Application Server rel 3 and 10g form & report

hi all
i want to run 10g form & report 10g Application server rel 3 any one tel me about that thanks

Hi,
You can find a similar discussion at this link :-
start AS automatically
You can also get a good ideas from these two Metalink Notes :-
1. Note:223285.1 :- Shell scripts to start and stop IAS 9.0.2.2 (Infrastructure - Middle tier) on Unix
2. Note:200475.1 :- 9iAS Release 2 (9.0.2) Start/Stop Instructions on Unix
The notes are basically for IAS 9.0.2., but can be easily customized for other IAS versions.

Does the backup include deployed forms/reports?

Hi,
1) Does a backup of the application server taken using Application Server control contains the deployed form and reports?
2) What if the forms/reports have been deployed to a directory not located below the ORACLE_HOMEof the middle tier?
AS version - 10.1.2.0.2
Platform - 46 Linux x86
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sindhiya V.

Ad 1). It depends on how you create the backup (check with the backup guys or check your backupscripts). Just a tarbal will include the files, as long as your FORMS_PATH's in formsweb.cfg (or hsd65formsweb.cfg) don't include path's outside the ORACLE_HOME. As far as I know the backup functionality in the enterprise manager website only includes default configfiles (but I never use it, a proper tarbal after each configuration change is just as safe). You can customise the backupscript so creating a backup from the enterprise manager website takes all necessary files, but again: a tarbal is just as good (and more easy).
Ad 2). goto 1.

Development and Production Requirements for a Forms/Report application

Dear all,
We have an application witch run in client/Server mode using Forms/Reports 6i For 300 users.We want to migrate it on Forms/Reports 9I using Oracle 9IAS and Oracle 9IDB.
I would like to have advises about material requirements of both development and production environment((developer deskop, development appServer and databaseServer, end user desktop,production databaseServer and production AppServer).
Thank u for giving more details about my request.

I have my dev and production on 2 different databases/instances, and the workspaces have a different name aswell (think 'dev' and 'prod').
I do reuse my application ids, which makes the whole process a lot more manageable: easier for me to identify and replacing a whole application.
However, when i want to replace only 1 page, apex stumbles over the workspace. Bummer.
So i took an export of a page on both workspaces, and opened the files.
prompt Set Credentials...
begin
-- Assumes you are running the script connected to SQL*Plus as the Oracle user APEX_040100 or as the owner (parsing schema) of the application.
wwv_flow_api.set_security_group_id(p_security_group_id=>nvl(wwv_flow_application_install.get_workspace_id,1377027056414870));
end;
wwv_flow_application_install.get_workspace_id,1377027056414870));
I took both workspace IDs and keep them in a simple txt in my installation-files folder. Each time i need to import a page from dev->prod i go in the exported file from dev and change the workspace id to the id of my production workspace id. Everything works magically after that.
If your application ids also differ, you can try changing the id in the exported file aswell, but i can't tell if it works or not since i've not done that yet.
prompt Set Application ID...
begin
   -- SET APPLICATION ID
   wwv_flow.g_flow_id := nvl(wwv_flow_application_install.get_application_id,130);
   wwv_flow_api.g_id_offset := nvl(wwv_flow_application_install.get_offset,0);
null;
end;where of course you'd change around nvl(wwv_flow_application_install.get_application_id,130);

Upgrade from 11i to R12 - Custom Forms,Reports and Workflows

Dear Community Friends,
We are planning for upgrade from oracle apps 11.5.10.2 to R12.
We have custom Forms,Form Libraries,Reports and Workflows.
Kindly provide me for approach on how to migrate Custom form libraries,reports and Workflows.
I beleive, this thread will exists as one shot point for custom forms,reports,workflow upgradation from 11i to r12 with detailed steps.
I know that many links exists here in the forum for all the above objects mentioned,but still from all those i am able to get a clear picture for oracle forms but not for custom form libraries ,reports and workflows.
Also,this post will provide a low level,practical picture of the steps for those who are in line with this.
Links i have read for all these in our forum are:
For Custom Forms,
Re: Planning to upgrade from 11i to R12
Re: Custom forms: After upgrading 11i to R12
ofcourse,'n' number of links exists providing metalink notes also.
Hussain,Helios and some others also has given many updates regd this.
For custom workflow upgradation,
Upgrade Workflow 11i to R12
Workflow Upgrade
Workflow Upgrade
For reports,links mentioned the below metalink notes:
Do Not Compile EBS R12 Reports Using rwconverter.sh or Reports Builder from IDS 10gR2 [ID 786794.1]
Using the OracleAS 10.1.2 Forms and Reports Builders with Oracle Applications Release 12 [ID 444248.1]
Per my understanding, after searching in many threads,i am here by summarising the practical low level steps for custom forms migration
Please correct me,if i am wrong.
1) Download the Forms(.fmb's) and all PLL's(all the PLL from resource folder in AU_TOP) into a Local Machine Folder
2) Open the forms using Forms Developer 10G and connect to DB
3) Compile by clicking compilein Forms Developer and then save it.
4) Upload the Saved Forms(.fmb's) into the new R12 server(system) in the respective custom paths(paths similar to 11i Server)
5) Compile all the forms using the command like below(example command is shown below or f60 gen commands or frmcmp.sh utility) in the respective custom form paths,
this will generate the .fmx's.
frmcmp_batch module=FORMNAME.fmb userid=apps/apps output_file=FORMNAME.fmx compile_all=yes
Link for compiling forms: https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/ui/km/SearchDocDisplay.jspx?_afrLoop=359210362972527&type=DOCUMENT&id=1085928.1&displayIndex=3&_afrWindowMode=0&_adf.ctrl-state=c348xvwbg_98
6) Open the form and check in R12 instance
As per my understanding for custom form libraries,we can just copy paste the PLL's from 11i server to R12 server (Please correct me,if i am wrong)
Can anyone please help me out in custom reports and custom workflows.Sorry that,i could not get a practical and clear picture for reports and also for workflow even after referring many threads and metalink notes mentioned.
As for reports,some says that Developer Suite 10g can be used and .rdf can be used in R12.
Some says that reports should be converted to XML published as reports does not exists in R12.
So,i am not clear on this.
Thanks,
Ganesh

So,i am not clear on this.You can still use RDF files in R12, and just follow the approach you mentioned above, and you do not have to migrate them to XML publisher (though it is recommended, but this can be done after the upgrade as an enhancement task).
For custom workflow, you need also to do the same thing, open them using workflow builder and make sure they work in R12 (correct the code if required and save them again in R12 once they work properly).
Thanks,
Hussein

Form & Report on a Webservice

Hi,
When I try to build a Form & Report on a web service(XDB web service), it won't allow me to build it by throwing an error message.
The error message is ORA-20001: Unable to create form on table. ORA-20001: Query must begin with SELECT or WITH
The webservice reference is a manually created simple soap envelope.
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:oraw="http://xmlns.oracle.com/orawsv" xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
   <soapenv:Header>
    </soapenv:Header>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <oraw:query>
         <oraw:query_text type="SQL">SELECT * FROM ORDERS</oraw:query_text>
      </oraw:query>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>The form contains the input items needed for basic authentication. If I check the same soap envelope with SoapUI, or test the webservice reference in APEX it returns the result set with no issues.
What could be the cause with apex form & report on webservice
The Apex version is 4.0.0.00.46

Hi,
Yes I can build a webservice reference from the wsdl. But then it will recognize all other input attributes except for the crucial attribute <oraw:query_text type=""></oraw:query_text> . That's why I tend to create the soap envelope manually.
Thanks
