APEX 3.2 Forms and Reports Conversion

Hi,
This link is a summary of APEX 3.2 new features (Forms and reports conversion and migrationn).
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/3.2_new_features.html
Just wondering if I can convert and migrate Oracle reports 6.0 ? If yes, I would appreciate steps to convert my Oracel 6.0 reports to APEX.
Thanks,
Ribhi

Hello Ribhi,
For a readon I don't understand you have to start your migration project with uploading a Form (XML version). When you've done that you can add other types of source files, like Libraries, Object Libraries, Menu's and....Reports.
So it seems (now) that you MUST have an Oracle Form to start with.

  • Apex 4.1 Form and Report on Web Service Report displays nothing

    Hello I created and tested a webservice using the test feature in Apex 4.1.
    I know the results is a string of 1 row.
    I created a Form and Report on Web Service. When I run the form there is nothing displayed in the Reports section its just blank.
    If I run the sql from the results region I get no data found.
    Is the problem the returned data is not stored in the collection?
    Edited by: Oracle Primavera on Oct 26, 2011 3:32 PM

    What would be the reason for the following.
    Testing the webservice in apex returns values.
    However when I run Form and Report on Web Service Report if I query the collection it is always empty?
    Does anyone have any experience on this issue? Is it a bug? Please some hints I have been trying for two weeks without success.

  • Can install APEX in OAS Forms and Reports Services?

    Hi, I need to know: Can install APEX in OAS Forms & Reports?, thanks a lot....

    Hi,
    1. OAS Forms and Repors Services run on Oracle HTTP Server (OHS). You can use OHS to connect to Apex
    2. Apex is not installed in the OS, its installed inthe Oracle Database. In other words, you install is by connecting to sqlplus as sys as sysdba
    3. Install Apex in the instance that is holding the tables and views that are being used in the Oracle Forms/Reports.
    Hope that answers.
    Make sure you read the installation guide and follow it verbatim.

    Looks like there is a 127-column limit on the number of report columns supported when using that wizard. Do you have more than that?

  • MacIntosh to NT Conversion - Forms and Reports

    I have to convert an existing 4.5 system from MacIntosh to NT.
    I am looking for hints on what to do and what not to do.
    If you have done this type of conversion please let me know.
    I am currently researching the use of uifont.ali (from tools\common60) and FORMS60_DEFAULTFONT, plus Oracle Terminal.
    Are there any other tools about which I should be researching?

  • Form and report on table apex 4.0

    Dear all,
    I installed Apex 4 in rdbms 11R2 based on Linux, created a workspace, everything went fine.
    Now when I try to create a simple form and report based on a table I'm running into problems.
    (I believe I'm doing something wrong, because I didn't see any similar thread) here is what I did:
    table: master_hierarchy_level
    LEVEL_ID     NUMBER(8,0)     No
    LEVEL_NAME     VARCHAR2(20 CHAR)     No
    LEVEL_DESC     VARCHAR2(320 BYTE)     Yes
    CREATION_DATE TIMESTAMP(0) WITH TIME ZONE No
    CREATED_BY     VARCHAR2(20 CHAR)     No
    UPDATE_DATE     TIMESTAMP(0) WITH TIME ZONE     Yes
    UPDATED_BY     VARCHAR2(20 CHAR)     Yes
    VALID_FROM     TIMESTAMP(0) WITH TIME ZONE     No
    VALID_UNTIL     TIMESTAMP(0) WITH TIME ZONE     Yes
    After creating the 2 pages I edit the data fields at the form page to display by default the current date and time:
    a) Format Mask: DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS
    b) Source Type: SQL query ......
    c) Source Value: SELECT TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') FROM dual;
    For the created_by and updated_by fields I did:
    a) Source Type : PL/SQL Expression or Function .....
    b) Source Value : :APP_USER
    Nothing else, when I run the report and click the create button everything is fine after filling in the required fields and pushing the save button I receive following error:
    ORA-01400: cannot insert NULL into ("MASTERDB_V01"."MASTER_HIERARCHY_LEVEL"."CREATION_DATE")
    error      Unable to process row of table MASTER_HIERARCHY_LEVEL.
    I tried to find out why now already for several hours and have no clou anymore to look for,
    is somebody able to provide me a hint :-) ??????
    Thanks in advance, Olaf

    Olaf,
    when you changed the source type/value of your date fields you removed the connection from the page item to the database table/column.
    In other words APEX doesn't know that your date fields need to be stored in the table.
    Please set source type back to database column and use the default-value setting to set a default value for the date fields.
    brgds,

  • Forms and Reports: Automated Test tools - functionality AND performance

    All,
    I'm looking to get a few leads on an automated test tools that may be used to validate Oracle forms and reports (see my software configuration below). I'm looking for tools that can automate both functional tests and performance. By this I mean;
    Functional Testing:
    * Use of shortcut keys
    * Navigation between fields
    * Screen organisation (filed locations)
    * Exercise forms validation (bad input values)
    * Provide values to forms and simulate user commit, and go and verify database state is as expected
    Performance Testing:
    * carry out tests for fixed user load
    * carry out tests for scaled step increase in user load
    * automated collection of log files and metrics during test
    So far I have:

    Thanks in advance for your response.

    Configuration:

    Oracle JInitiator 1.3.1.17 or later

    are there any tools for doing this activity like oracle recommended tools?
    Your question is unclear.  As IK mentioned, the only tool you need is a new version of Oracle Forms/Reports.  Open your v10 modules in a v11 Builder and select Save.  You now have a v11 module.  Doing a "Compile All PL/SQL" before saving is a good idea, but not required.  The Builders and utilites provided with the version 11 installation are the only supported tools for upgrading your application.  If you are trying to do the conversion of many Forms files in a scripted manner, you can use the Forms compiler in a script.  Generating new "X" files will also update the source modules (fmb, mmb, pll).  See MyOracleSupport Note 955143.1
    Also included in the installation in the Forms Migration Assistant.  Although it is more useful to people coming from older versions, it can also be used to move from v10 to 11.  It allows you to select more than one file at a time.  Documentation for this utility can be found in the Forms Upgrade Guide.

    i exported the application from apex.oracle.com and imported it to our environment
    import went fine, but when I ran the IR page I got
    ORA-20001: get_dbms_sql_cursor error ORA-00904: : invalid identifier
    evidently the problem is a lack of public execute on DBMS_LOB, which is used in the generated IR source.
    while waiting for the DBA to grant privs on DBMS_LOB, changing the dbms_lob.getlength call to length() fixes the IR.
    however, i am not getting the download link on the associated form page... changed templates, that's not the issue -- we'll see if that's a dbms_lob issue as well

  • How to deploy the Oracle Forms and Reports 10g in Web?

    Currently I am working in Oracle forms & Reports conversion project (6i to 10g).
    As of now 6i forms working as a standalone application. After migrated it to 10g, I need to deploy the forms and reports in web.
    Any one know how to deploy the Oracle forms and Reports in web?
    Please help me out. Thanks in advance.
    Vimal

    Hello Frank,
    for development, you need to install Oracle Developer
    Suite 10g. This includes Forms and Reports.this topic interests me too, because I've downloaded Developer Suite and Database (both for 10g) from Oracle website, installed them, but I couldn't connect to a database.
    What should be done for me to create a database link and be able to connect locally, in my personal Desktop computer? (Not to a server)
    Once it was told me here that I should download 10g Database - I did it, and installed it, but it didn't work. Later, some of my job partners said I should install them in a sequence - that is, 1st the Developer, and 2nd the Database. But it has failed too. And I don't know how to configure a database connection.
    Best regards,

  • How to do a partial refresh of a form and report on the same page?

    Hi all,
    im trying to make a page where you have a report on top and when you click the link instead going to the form page, the form page is on the bottom of the report. lets say im trying to send an id from the report to the item below so that i could fetch the rest of the item. however when i pass,other items would still refer to this one as null.
    if im not mistaken this could be done with submit,but i want it to be partial refresh..
    i tried steps here but this only worked when the lower part is a also a report:
    https://forums.oracle.com/thread/2345863
    i also tried this,but this actually submits a page..
    Grassroots Oracle: Apex Tutorial - Form & Report sharing the same page
    would it be possible to get a form and report in one page as partial refresh?
    Message was edited by: T101_cyberdyne

    If so, you need to create a dynamic action with a javascript action to set the id of the report row in the id form field, and a subsequent pl/sql action to fetch the record based on the id. You can use this record to set the other form field items.
    For the example in the above link the code looks as follows.
    the javascript action:
    var empno = $(this.triggeringElement).find('td[headers="EMPNO"]').text()
    $s('P26_EMPNO',empno)
    the PL/SQL action:
    declare
    cursor c_emp is
    select * from emp
    where empno = :p26_EMPNO;
    BEGIN
    for r_emp in c_emp loop
      APEX_UTIL.SET_SESSION_STATE('P26_ENAME',r_emp.ename);
      APEX_UTIL.SET_SESSION_STATE('P26_JOB',r_emp.job);
      APEX_UTIL.SET_SESSION_STATE('P26_MGR',r_emp.mgr);
      APEX_UTIL.SET_SESSION_STATE('P26_HIREDATE',to_char(r_emp.hiredate,'dd-mon-yyyy'));
      APEX_UTIL.SET_SESSION_STATE('P26_SAL',r_emp.sal);
      APEX_UTIL.SET_SESSION_STATE('P26_COMM',r_emp.comm);
      APEX_UTIL.SET_SESSION_STATE('P26_DEPTNO',r_emp.deptno);
      APEX_UTIL.SET_SESSION_STATE('P26_ORDNO',r_emp.ordno);
    end loop;
    END;
    Hi Vincent,
    Yes! im looking for something similar. This looks interesting. I did look into apex_util.set_session_state yesterday but didnt know how to apply. perhaps i was doing it wrong.
    Question though, so basically first use the javascript to send the EMPNO from top report to the EMPNO in the form fields below.
    Then based on the EMPNO received in the form, do a loop to get the rest and put it into session. Correct?
    if i'm not mistaken i did something similar,but when i tried to set session for the rest,it refers to to the p26_EMPNO still as null..does the javascript sets the id of report to the id of the form or does it just send over?
    i'll try it out.
    Thanks.

  • Error while using the 'Form and Report' wizard

    Hello,
    I’m trying to create a form and report on EMP, using the APEX wizards, but I’m getting the following error message:
    ORA-20001: Unable to create query and update page. ORA-20001: Unable to create query and update page. ORA-20001: Unable to create form on table. ORA-20001: Error creating shortcut id="" ORA-00001: unique constraint (FLOWS_030100.WWV_FLOW_SHORTCUT_IDX1) violated
    This is something local, on my APEX instance only, but any ideas what is wrong here?
    Thanks,
    Arie.

    Hi Scott,
    >> Do you happen to know where that PL/SQL shortcut came from? Created by you or an apex wizard?
    The original shortcut was probably created by an APEX wizard, but then I changed its type to ‘PL/SQL Function Body’. The shortcuts are not included in the translatable components, so I need a function to determine the application language, and issue the message accordingly.
    >> The type of the shortcut is not part of that constraint
    So changing the shortcut type back to the type I need, after the wizard finished its job, should not have any side effects. Correct?
    >> and the sequence always seems to be 1
    And we don’t have access to it, so we can’t change it manually.
    >> Our bug
    Can you please fill a bug report on that?
    I will post an enhancement request about including shortcuts in the translatable components, but I’ll appreciate you mention this issue also.
    Appreciate your time and efforts,
    Arie.
