Hello,
I you follow the Note:338513.1 on Metalink, you can see the following:
Forms / Reports 6i patchset 16 or patchset 17 was certified to work against Oracle Server (RDBMS)+
+10g Rel 1 (10.1.x)+
Forms / Reports 6i has never been certified, nor will it ever be certified against Oracle Server (RDBMS) 10g Rel 2 (10.2.x) or Oracle Server (RDBMS) 11g (11.x).
+(This is because Forms / Reports 6i is now de-supported - see important note below)+
Important Note: Forms / Reports 6i is now de-supported e.g.
- If running in client-server mode, Forms / Reports 6i was desupported at end of January 2005
- If deploying over the web, Forms / Reports 6i (Oracle 9iAS Rel 1 Forms / Reports Services) was desupported at the end of June 2004
This means that Forms / Reports development will no longer provide an error correction service for Forms / Reports 6i (unless an organisation has purchased extended maintenance support) Therefore, Oracle strongly recommends that customers using desupported versions upgrade to a supported version e.g upgrade to Oracle Developer Suite 10g Rel 1 or 2 / Oracle Application Server 10g Rel 1 or 2

  • Migration MS ACCESS FORMS and Reports to Oracle (Java or Forms or Reports)

    Hello ,
    can someone tell me, how i can migrate a whole MS ACCESS 2000 mdb (with forms and Reports) to Oracle.
    I think i have first migrate the Access DB with the OMWB to Oracle and in the next Step to convert the VBA Code to JAVA or Forms9i.
    BUT Is there a tool available for Migrating VBA code like the OMWB ????

    I don't know if this is an obvious question, but do you have MS Access 2k installed on the machine you are trying to run this from? I'm assuming yes.
    If you do and there is still a problem, you should log a ticket for support who will take your mdb and help out with the issue for you.
    Many thanks

    Hi,
    regarding adding (Add (C:\ABC) to FORMS60_PATH in the registry) could you please explain
    compilation is by f60gen @ (is this right?)Correct, the syntax of using f60gen is explained in (Note: 130686.1 - How to Generate Form, Library and Menu for Oracle Applications).
    The place where i am working has apps installed in IBM AIX server .. so how do i access Apps
    or can i access Apps via TOAD.You will have to access the server using ftp to download the pll files to your local machine. TOAD can be used to access the database objects only (not the physical application files).

  • As configuring the services like for example that of Forms and reports in Oracle 9iAs

    Como configurar los servicios como por ejemplo el de Forms y reports en Oracle 9iAs para sistema operativo Solaris. Para que los reports y forms sean vistos en la WEB.

    Jenny, for Forms and Reports configuration issues, you might try posting to the Oracle9i Forms forum:
    Forms: http://forums.oracle.com/forums/forum.jsp?id=345390
    Reports: http://forums.oracle.com/forums/forum.jsp?id=338539
    These are actively monitored by product managers from those groups. If your question covers Web services with Forms and Reports, check out the viewlets showing how to make those aspects of Forms and Reports work at:

    We are planning on rolling out some new content and how to's specific to Oracle Reports and Web services probably the last week of July. The content is just been written, reviewed and recorded this week based on the examples you see in those viewlets.

    Hi,
    Well you just need to create a directory in paste your forms there, and then make an entry in the formsweb.cfg file and forms.conf files. Likewise there are entries for the images and report.

    Mi empresa esta iniciando un proyecto con la tecnologia que
    estas buscando, es decir, Utilizar Forms y Reports para manejar
    las APIS de WorkFlow Server, hemos encontardo muchos problemas,

    Hi,
    You can find many articles on oracle site for this subject.
    However in brief following are the steps
    1) Create a directory source,executables,images,reports and logfiles.
    2) Copy all your forms, menus and pll's in source directory
    3) All your images in your image directory
    4) All your reports in reports directory
    5) All yuor fmx,mmx and plx in executables directory
    6) Any log files in logfiles directory
    7) Add path of images and executables directory in FORMS_PATH in default.env
    8) Configure your formsweb.cfg as your need.
    9) Configure report.conf and rwservlet.properties according to your applications.
    10) Make jar of icons say myicons.jar.
    11) copy myicons.jar in forms/java directory
    12) Check yuor form services if they are running or not.
    13) Invoke the URL in internet explorer
    http://<ip_address>:<port_no>/forms/frmservlet?form=testform.fmx
    I think that's enough from my side.. For more info you can go through the documentation.

  • Unable to connect Forms and Report with Oracle 9i database

    I have received the following message when i connect Developer 10G Report builder with oracle 9i database.
    scott/tiger@z
    REP-0501:Unable to connect to the specified database ORA-12154:TNS could not resolve service name.
    I have written the following text in tnsnames.ora file.

    for report builder 6i
    for Developer 10G
    Kindly advise.Yes, you definately needed to mention that. That suggests you also have 3 $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin directories, each with its own tnsnames.ora file. So you need to make sure you are hitting the correct one. I'd pick one to be the controlling one and set the TNS_ADMIN enviornment variable to point to it.

  • How to uninstall Forms and Reports 6 from XP?

    Dear Experts,
    I have an XP machine.
    On it, is Oracle DB 11.2. As well, there is Oracle Forms and Reports 6i. From the start, programs menu, there are:
    Oracle for Windows NT
    Oracle Forms and Reports 6I
    Oracle Forms and Reports 6I doc
    Oracle OLAP client 2.2
    Oracle Reports 6I
    Oracle Reports 6I Admin
    I notice that it seems to be running as service. I can find the process id / PID with sysinternals. PID is: 1364, services.exe(876). Some of the files/processes are:
    NL80.DLL, SQLNET. Ora805.dll. All under c:\oracle\reports6
    But I can't figure out which service it is, when I look at the windows services. Although the command line is:
    C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs
    When I go to uninstall forms and reports using OUI, I see two Oracle homes.
    OraDb11G_home1
    DEFAULT_HOME
    Reports is listed under DEFAULT_HOME. But unlike OraDb11G_home1, in DEFAULT_HOME, there are no check boxes at all to select these products to uninstall.
    1)
    Without uninstalling the database, how can I uninstall forms and reports?
    2)
    How can I tell which service is running forms and reports?
    Thanks a lot!

    You can delete these items directly from Start menu and this is the first step :
    Oracle for Windows NT
    Oracle Forms and Reports 6I
    Oracle Forms and Reports 6I doc
    Oracle OLAP client 2.2
    Oracle Reports 6I
    Oracle Reports 6I Admin
    The second step : Delete the home of developer6i from registry
    And the third : Delete the directory (orant) which the contents of forms and reports 6i are stored in (c:\orant by default)
    When I want to delete forms and reports 6i I follow these steps above.
    hope that help you.
    Any comments from experts are very appreciated :)

  • 10g Forms and reports standalone - 64 bit software available?

    Hi All,
    Is oracle application server 10g forms and reports standalone softaware available in 64-bit version?
    Please provide the link to download thye same.
    Thanks,
    Anand.

    1GB of RAM seems to work better. I just upgraded to 1GB from 512MB on a new ThinkPad running XP, 10g release 2 database, and 10.1.2 Application Server (Forms and Reports version). When I had 512, something broke and I wound up resetting the factory defaults using the IBM recovery tool. When I added the extra memory, everything went well. On the other hand, a four-year-old Dell desktop with 512MB works okay. Whatever.

  • Date format in forms and reports in windows 7

    i have problem with date format in developer 10g and developer 6i
    it show date in this format 2011/25/1
    it sould be like this 25/1/2011
    how i can reslove this
    in xp it work fine

    Are you generating Forms and Reports from Oracle Designer, or using Oracle Developer tools directly?
    If this is a Forms question, try the Forms forum - Forms
    If this is a Reports question, try the Reports forum - Reports
    Either way, or with Designer, the problem is probably that you are allowing the date format to default instead of explicitly specifying a date format. Always specify the date format - you want "DD/MM/YYYY".
