Affiliation of each form (report) to application, manage customized parts

Hi!
The real problem is that we have to make a list of all cutomizations and for that we need to know percent of customization in each module.
Another questions are:
1) Is there any way to see the whole list of all customized parts (let's focus on forms and reports) that we have now. With that list we can later see probable patches and affections an our system and percentage of customization in our EBS system (thread Re: Implemented modules is the answer for licensed applications...but is there a way to see customizations on standard objects ...i.e. forms and reports at least)?
2) We'd also like to know for each form and report (regardless is it original or custom) to which application (module) it belongs to. I think that for every registered object EBS has a report of such a kind...but we do not know it now.
3) How to see if any of those applications are really used-we thought that we have paid a lot of applications (modules) and we do not use some of them...so we'd like to make clear view of the current situation.
Our system EBS 11.5.10.2, RUP 4, Linux RHEL EE 4 R4
THX in advance,
Damir

Hi!
THX for your answers....
My aim to find out (any how) percentage of our customization in EBS. This looks to me very normal task...but it is more then tricky...at least to me!
Any help to make that as much as possible alive? Have anyone done such a thing? Any best practice on that?
THX in advance.

How to deploy Forms/Reports 9i Application on Internet

Hi Forms gurus,
We install Oracle 9IAS Server on LINUX to deploy Forms/Reports 9i applications. Applications are well deployed using the local network.Now we want to deploy using Internet. I would like to know, the step i must follow to do this.
PLZ it's very important. I'm waiting for your answer.

A technique should might be to create a WAR file with fmx and rdf inside, an deploy it.
For creating WAR file, use Jdeveloper or ant.
For deploying war file, use Oracle9iAS EM control, and add the war to OC4J_BI_FORMS instance.
Then, either the formsweb.cfg is already configured, or you need to add some setup (to be done ...).
A brand new formsweb.cfg file can be give as a parameter of OC4J startup (if needeed).
If the fmx are not already made for Linux, you must do it before packaging them in the war file.
Of course, it's just a track to explore, but it can be interesting in case of a single deployement on multiple OC4J instances.
Another way is to use WEBDAV !
Patrick.

How to deploy Forms/report on Application Server 10.1.3

Hi,
I have Forms and Reports created with Developer10g R2, I want to deploy these with Application Server R10.1.3 but after reading a lot of manuals like Administrator guide, Installation guide, deployment Guide I didn't find a way how and where should I place my Forms/Reports and how to call it via browser, some one plz explain me or send a link where I am going wrong.
Thanks and Regards.

Hi Kashif,
SSO (single sign on) is a feature of infrastructure. what does it mean?.
When you intended to use SSO, then you will need to you the infra in which you have what it calls Metadata & OID (oracle internet directory) some think like LDAP server.
so just when you want to connect through your FR&REP the user must be well known by SSO (created in OID). otherwise you can not login to your apps+DB.
SO about your question version 10.1.3 for forms&rep servers (BI) is not availble just version 10.1.2.0.2. you can download separately or toegether with you infra. (it depends on what you want.
You can see forms&rep server as OC4J container in which you can deploy your applications (fmx files).
Hope it is clear now for you otherwise let me know so I can provide you with some links which will help you.
Cheers,
Hamdy

Performance questions in Oracle Forms/Reports of Application Server 10g

Hello.
I have a dual Xeon 2.6 computer with 3 GB of memory and 6 GB of cache, running RedHat EL 3 with Oracle AS 10g (9.0.4.0.0).
Application Server is used to run some applications created with forms, and it generates several reports, but the forms are also used as a front end to another Oracle Database (Oracle 7.0, runing in Sun Solaris 5.6).
I've notested (and also my users) the application is getting very slow (is running in a dual Xeon, with 2 Gbit nics, in a 3 Gb backbone).
The speed (or lack of it) is most noted when the forms are generating the reports (it used to be fast - 2 seconds) and now it can take up to 5 minutes.
The AS 10g, when generating the reports, almost all of the querys go to the other server (in Solaris) and the results return to the server, and then the report is generated. The network has no problems (at least, that i know of), and the network performance is not an issue - both the servers are connected to a Gbit switch.
Can someone may have an ideia of it can be?
even in the clients, when running the forms application, the transition of the several menus is slow, and it used to be more fast.
the 10g is using Java Jinitiator 1.3.18. Can it be from that ? i'm not certain, but i could say this things start happen when we upgraded the jinitiator from 1.3.13 to 1.3.18...
My users are really getting on my nervers and i cant do nothing, because they have reason...
any help would be appreciated !
Cheers
Bruno Santos

Bruno, did you solve the performance problem? I'm experiencing the same lack of speed.

Can we Run 10g Forms & Reports without Application Server

Currently We are using form 5 and reports 3.5
we are willing to upgrade .
we are told that we can upgrade only to 10g developer suit
and for that Application Server is must
Our requirement is for LAN based application only
Do we have to go-in for application Server
DOes the 10g forms and 10g reports have Form server /report server which can help us to run application using Browser but without IAS
CK

Chaand,
for production environments you must run Forms and Reports through Oracle Application Server as there no longer is a client-server runtime. For development puposes tehre is a HTTP server in Oracle Developer Suite that is used to run both servers.

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.

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 ...

I'm kinda paranoid about the double backslash in the dll path, but other than that no clue as to why the domain doesn't set up
the other link you mentionned seems to have no relevance yet
does that clear up anything for you though?
..can the lack of SOA suite have anything to do with the problem?

the related log information:

LOADING DLL : C:\Oracle\Middleware\as_2\install\config\\StartUtil64.dll

Since your weblogic is on version 10.3.3, you can only succesfully configure your fusion middleware when you are on version 11.1.1.3.
So (1) restart the install of fusion middleware 11.1.1.2, (2) choose install type INSTALL ONLY, (3) start installation of fusion middleware 11.1.1.3 and finally (4) configure fusion middleware using AS_ORACLE_HOME\bin\config.bat

OracleXE and Oracle10gAS Forms-Reports Services

Hello,
Can they co-exist in a testing - development environment of Forms-Reports 10g Application ?
Are there other alternatives of prototyping (without having to think about licensing costs) a Forms-Reports app and make a short demonstration to the client side ?
Thank you in advnace.
Pantelis
PS. When the Application Server 10g r. 10.1.3 will include the Forms-reports services add-in and the Portal ?

FRS is an installation option under Application Server (Business Intelligence). In a full blown installation (which includes more advanced features, but none specific to how Forms work), there are two components: an infrastructure and the application server (that name gets used more than one way, sometimes context matters).
For a simpler, Forms and Reports only version of this, several years ago (probably from all the howls of complaints regarding how poorly iAS was first deployed/developed) Oracle came out with a standalone version of Forms and Reports. It still required the Enterprise Edition licensing under iAS, but at least it precluded the necessity of having the other component (the infrastructure) installed.
Once FRS is installed, it can be managed via an Enterprise Manager type of Web app (it has the same look and feel of other Web-based controllers of Oracle apps such as Database Control and Grid Control).
So, if all you need is Forms and Reports, no bells and whistles, use the FRS version. FRS is fairly reliable in terms of staying up, you'll probably have more issues with keeping the database up as much as FRS is.

Forms/Reports 6i to 10g migration process

Hello !
I will start a process in order to migrate our currently Forms/Reports 6i application to Oracle DS 10g (Forms/Reports 10g). What I need to know in order to begin this process.
For example: What Oracle Application Server my customers needs to buy ? and about licenses that they need to have ?
Can someone give me a initial direction ?
Tank you

I would recommend using 10g Release 2 which is version 10.1.2.
You will need Oracle Developer Suite 10.1.2 for development and application maintenance needs. This distribution includes a light weight http listener used for testing applications while being developed. This light weight listener is not supported for multi-user access or production deployment.
You will need Oracle Application Server 10.1.2 for deployment. If you only plan to use Forms and Reports and do not need additional security features or Identity Management (SSO, OID, etc), you can use the Forms/Reports Services distribution which is smaller than the complete Application Server installation. Refer to the following for more information:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/10g/FormsReportsServicesInstallation.htm
This document refers to version 9.0.4 but mostly still applies to 10.1.2.
Do not attempt to use versions newer than 10.1.2 as they do NOT support Forms or Reports.
Additional Forms upgrade information can be found here:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/upgrade/index.html

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.

Required components for Forms&Reports 11.1.2 with SSO support

Hi.
Dont know if this is the right forum but I would like to know if any of you has an experience in integrating Forms&Reports 11.1.2 with Oracle Access manager.
I am in process of upgrading Oracle Forms&Reports 10g configured to use single sign-on to 11.1.2 with Identity and Access management for SSO support. As I read the installation manual I got confused by how to integrate Forms&reports with Access manager to be able to configure it to use single sign-on with MS Active Directory authentication. I am not sure is there enough just to install Access Manager or the installation also requires Identity Management component.
I would appreciate if one could point me to the right direction. Thanks.
Best regards.

I recommend starting with baby steps. First ensure that the FMw installation is working. Can you run a form, and report, and so on. Then add single-signon with OAM. Verify that it is working. Then add AD support. If you try to dive directly into making AD work and something before this step wasn't working, you will have a difficult time troubleshooting.
Generally speaking, if you have OAM and SSO installed prior to installing FMw, connecting the two is fairly easy because the FMw installation will prompt you during the process. However, even after the fact, linking up can be done from within the EM console even though some external steps may be needed. Once this is working, they you can investigate adding AD to the mix.
If you already have OAM installed, you are ready to dive into the Forms Deployment Guide.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24269_01/doc.11120/e24477/sso.htm
This part of the Deployment Guide will cover things like, which versions of the Identity Management components can be used with Forms/Reports 11.1.2. It will also discuss the functional information need in order to understand how it all works together. Also included are instructions on how to connect the FMw installation to sso. Be careful as you read any of the documents as it is easy to get confused when seeing references to "SSO". In some cases, the term "sso" means single signon and in others it is referring to the product, "Oracle SSO".
Information about using Active Directory is scattered around the IM documentation, but this is probably a good place to start:

Oracle forms & reports support on oracle 10g lite

Currently our oracle forms & reports 6i application works on oracle 8i database with oracle 9i lite.
We upgraded our database to oracle 9i r2 and lite to 10gr2.
After publishing the application when i try to open the application the forms screen disappears for ever.
I wanted to know whether oracle forms and reports 6i is supported on
oracle 10g lite r2?
Thanks,

No. Not only it isn't certified, but it is also impossible to run forms compiled with the 11g compiler with the 10g runtime. For 11g there is a install bundle for the developer suite / application server.

Form & reports 10g VS Form & reports 6 ???

Hi All,
We have customers that running Form & reports 10g application and they (must) use IAS 10g for deployment.
But now they are considering to downgrade to Form & Reports 6 (client-server). So they put the Form & Reports to a folder on a server and map the folder to the clients.
Actually what are the benefits of running Form and Reports 10g on IAS and Browser compared to running Form & Reports 6 on client server mode ?
Thank you very much,
xto

Hi Xto,
If you use Forms 10g in web mode, thin clinets can be used and hardware cost can be reduced. Only you need to have good application server.
And you can access the application from browser and no need of installation/setup in client machiens. so maintanance cost also can be reduced.
These are some of benefits while running in web mode.

How to compile forms & Reports in 10g

Hi Guys,
We are migrating an application from Forms & Reports 6i to Oracle 10g. We have Windows based 10g IDS, Application Server is on HP-UX and Database also on HP-UX. We are migrating the forms & reports successfully on windows using 10g ids. while deploying forms & Reports in application Server on HP-UX, it will not work as platform is different.
So my question is,
How do I compile all forms & Reports under unix environment using Application Server?
Can you people help me out at the earliest?
Thanks

Hello,
Use rwconverter.sh for Reports and frmcmp.sh for Forms .
Regards

Affiliation of each form (report) to application, manage customized parts
