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

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 to change the Forms and Reports's NLS_LANG character set on OAS

Hi,
I'm having problems with the OAS10g's actual character set, when displaying a report made with Reports Builder 10g who has the letter "ñ" it displays "ñ " with a blank space at the final so i need to change this character set for one that suits this requirement.
which file or files should i change ??
could this change affect something else, for example another product in my OAS ??
Regards
Carlos

I have this Forms and Reports Application in Brazilian Potuguese. What I do at new installations is:
1. Open this file: <MiddlewareOracleHome>/forms/server/default.env and add the NLS parameters below the FORMS_PATH definition:
FORMS_PATH=D:\Oracle\home207middle\forms;D:\MYENV\Exe;D:\MYENV\Imagens
NLS_LANG=BRAZILIAN PORTUGUESE_BRAZIL.WE8MSWIN1252
NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS=,.2. Open this file: <MiddlewareOracleHome>/reports/conf/<your_report_server_name>.conf and create an "environment" section with the NLS variables:
   <environment id="MYENV">
      <envVariable name="REPORTS_PATH" value="D:\MYENV\Exe;D:\MYENV\Imagens"/>
      <envVariable name="NLS_LANG" value="BRAZILIAN PORTUGUESE_BRAZIL.WE8MSWIN1252"/>
      <envVariable name="NLS_DATE_FORMAT" value="DD/MM/YYYY"/>
      <envVariable name="NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS" value=",."/>
   </environment>For this one to work, the application must set RP2RROREPORTSENV=MYENV before launching the report.

Switch back and forth from Chinese and English in Forms and Reports 6i

How do you switch back and forth from Chinese and english in forms and reports 6i? Tried changing regional settings in the control panel. Tried changing registry entry for nls_lang from american and chinese, none of them work! Can anyone help?
Chinese version of forms and reports 6i is installed. Only way I can change between english and chinese is to keep installing the version I want. Is there any other way?

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.

Multilingual Forms and Reports

I'm looking for a tool, which can add multilingual capability to forms and reports. I found only one, called OraMuLaS.
Is there anyone who can tell me something about this tool?

Hello Frank,
thanks for your help. But if I understand it correctly, the translation hub has some limitaions:
- you'll need to deploy your application on WEB - no client/server
- any translation made, generates a seperate forms module; you can't use the same module for different languages
- if you need to a new translation, you need to build a new form module with the translation hub
- you can't change translations on the fly (during runtime)
So I think the oramulas tool might be better!?
You can find it under www.fairsys.de.
I did not test it now. So can't tell any experience for now.

How to Transport Variance Forms and Reports(created in KKO4 and KKO1)

Hello Experts,
I searched for the following but could not find matching answer.Will you, therefore, suggest on the following
1. I created form in KKO4/5
2. Then I created report under above form in transaction KKO1
I did above in development and now need to transport it to quality and then to production after testing
When I select menu Form -> Transport in KKO5, system prompts for customizing request.
Which options(subobjects) should I select? should I select Key figures ( I used standard available key figures in form defination)
After above customizing request for form, I selected menu Report -> Transport in KKO2 to transport the report. It prompted for subobject selection
(a) Report defination (This is by default selected and greyed out),(b) Report form, (c) Key figures , (d) Transport all languages
Which subobjects should be selected out of above.
After above selection for reports, system is prompting for workbench request creation, during WB request creation system is also giving 'prompt for customizing request' creation and by default displaying customizing request created for Form. Should such customizing requiest be part of WB request?
Secondly, I have created 8 forms and more than one report under of the these forms. Should the menu Form/Report -> Transport be selected for each form/report in same transport request? Is only that particular form/Report included in the Transport Request or does it include all existing/standard forms/reports also in transport request.
Your earliest help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance

Hi Jose
Thank you very much for the reply
Could you please elaborate on "if any configuration maintained at
sub-objects level"
What I am worrying about is my transport request should not overwrite anything in quality and production systems. It should take only forms and reports that I add/select in it.
I am following the below steps Please correct me if I am going wrong
1) Create new formS in KKO4
2) Create one or more reportS in KKO1 under each of above forms
3) In KKO5 (report painter: Change From screen), select the form that I created in step (1), select menu Edit->Transport form, I get the pop up to select the dependent objects for form. Here I select sub object - Form/Layout, Key Figures, Transport All Languages. On choosing Enter, I get pop up "Prompt for customizing request”. I create new request
4) In KKO5 I select second form I created in step (1) and follow the activities mentioned in step (3) but select the same customizing request. This way I add all the form I created in one customizing request
5) In KKO2, select the report that I created in step (2) select menu Report -> Transport I get pop up selection of Dependent objects for Report. Here I select sub object – Report Definition, Report Form, Key Figures, Transport All Languages. On choosing Enter, I get pop up "Prompt for workbench request. I create new request. When I choose enter on this pop up system automatically gives pop for "Prompt for customizing request” and by default displays cust. request created in step (3). Should I select Continue/Enter here?
And Does it mean both customizing and WB request are clubbed?
What is the sequence of transporting them?
Thank you in advance
Regards

Migrating Oracle forms and reports from 6i to 10g Application server on Uni

HI Guys,
We are migrating from Oracle forms and reports 6i to 10g.
We will be having application server on Unix box.
I understand following will be the changes i will have to do in this respect -
1. Fonts are to be revisited only Java fonts are supported.
2. Obsolete items, function calls, triggers are to be removed.
My question is since this application can be cross platform application,
Can anyone provide me with changes that I will have to do with configuration files like -
1. Formsweb.cfg,
2. forms.conf
3. default.env
4. registry.dat
Keeping in mind that the application server will be on unix box.
Thanks,
Av.

Java fonts are only supported for the Forms version.
You can use your own fonts for Reports however, there is some legwork to do this. I know because I just went through it.
If you will only being using the PDF output (which for me replaced the Preview mode that existed in 6i), then you have to install the TTF for the missing font, an AFM (use the ttf2pt1 utility to generate the AFM file, but make sure you remove the AFM extension when moving it to Unix). You'll want to use the PDF Subset in the uifont.ali (which exists under the ORACLE_HOME/guicommon/tk/admin directory and add the line underneath the PDF Subset "Font Family Name"="TTF Font Name" The font family name is found when you open the AFM file in textpad or wordpad for the font you generated. This is what you enter. The TTF Font Name is the name the TTF font. You'll have to restart Reports Server after this.
If printing to the printer directly is an option you must have, I will tell you it does not work in Linux right now. You can print to the printer but if the font doesn't exist on the internal memory of the printer, it won't work. There are 3rd party utilities like ORARRP and PDFPrint that can take care of this but, each has its own limitations. The one thing I found with ORARRP is if you generate a Report with an RRPA file extension and open it on Windows, it works great, the printer dialog comes up asking you what printer you want to print too. However, if you call this in Linux/Unix with the filename, it brings it up in the web browser but doesn't prompt you for your printer to print too automatically. So, for me, it's a show stopper. My only other option is to install the fonts on the printer that are missing.
As for the files you want to change, you'll obviously have to make changes to the formsweb.cfg, default.env, forms.conf. I have to modify the reports.sh for some PL/SQL attached libraries to make sure it picks them up. I did have to modify Registry.dat.
There is alot of work but mainly forms wasn't too bad, unless you had fonts that weren't supported. Usually there is another font that you can use to replace the old one but you have to know which fonts exists on the server and try all the keys on the keyboard to find the corresponding keystroke.
Hope this helps.

Weblogic 10.3.5 with oracle forms and reports 11.1.2.1.0

Hi All,
I am new to 11g concept (actually web based, have worked till 6i) and trying to upgrade my existing system (6i) to 11g. I have installed Weblogic 10.3.5 with forms and reports 11.1.2.1.0 on windows 7 32 bit. I can connect to my database (10g) from Form builder.
But when I try to open a form/pll of 10g or 6i, it says PDE-PLI018 could not find library and it shows the path of my earlier folder, which now does not exist.
I have made changes in registry FORMS_PATH, FORMS_BUILDER_PATH, UI_ICON
And in default.env file FORMS_PATH and CLASSPATH
I have added entry to tnsnames.ora, through which I can connect to DB. And have followed below site to configure weblogic and FM forms and reports;
http://windows7bugs.wordpress.com/2013/04/06/install-configure-oracle-weblogic-server-10-3-6-forms-reports-11g-on-windows8windows-2008-r2/
I have few doubts in my mind;
1) Do we have to connect (create a bridge) to DB from weblogic except tnsnames.ora.
2) For library error I think I am missing some settings to be done.
3) If I am able to rectify above error then can I directly use http://localhost:8888/forms/frmservlet and access the system from another pc, or still there are some modifications needed.
I am trying this from last 3 days, but couldn't find the solution, kindly help me out for same, eagerly waiting for your reply.
Regards,
Ash

Hi InoL,
Thanks for your reply, Yes, as there are many forms in my system, there is a chance that libraries attached are with the path.

Getting error while creating form and report on webservice: ORA-20001: Unable to create form on table. ORA-02263: need to specify the datatype for this column.

i am using the following description to create a web service reference:
web reference :REST
Name :Yahoo Map
URL :http://local.yahooapis.com/MapsService/V1/mapImage
HTTP Method: GET
Basic Authentication: No
Add Parameter:
Name       Type
appid        String
location    String
Output Format: XML
XPath to Output Parameters : /Result
Output Parameter:
Name       Path       Type
Url          /text()      String
Then i tried to create form and report on webservice:
Web Service Reference Type: Yahoo Map
Operation: doREST
All the fields i keep as default
I tick the checkbox (url)in report Parameter
After clicking next whereever required i click create button
I get the following error
ORA-20001: Unable to create form on table. ORA-02263: need to specify the datatype for this column.
Please someone help to solve this as i need to fix it urgently.

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 have RAC accept Forms and Reports connection to non specific node?

Hi all,
I have posted this in the Forms forum w/ no result, hoping someone here can help;
Oracle Forms and Reports services, not the entire app server. Version 10.1.2.0.2, one server
Oracle database, RAC Version 11.1.0.6.0, 3 nodes
Instance=RMSTEST
Nodes = RMSTEST1, RMSTEST2, RMSTEST3
I can TNSPING RMSTEST w/o issue
When I have userid in formsweb.cfg = user/pw@RMSTEST we are being prompted when logging into forms and reports to supply the password for the RMSTEST instance, enter the password and we are in.
So we changed this in formsweb.cfg = user/pw@RMSTEST? (?= any of the nodes 1-3) and the password prompt is no longer being requested.
What do I need to do to have Forms and Reports connect to the RMSTEST cluster directly for it to determine which node to connect to instead of having an unbalanced node(s)?
Thanks,
Steve

This is what I have;
RMSTEST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.3.12.111)(PORT = 1521))

Problem hiding userid etc in cookie using 10.1.2.0.2 Forms and Reports

Hi
Background
I am new to 10.1.2.0.2 Forms and Reports and also to Application Server - though not to Oracle forms and reports. We are currently converting from 6i.
Due to security concerns we would very much like to use the FrmReportsInteg Bean (or like) to hide userid connect string in a temporary and encrypted cookie when trying to run a report from a form (and the report has a report parameter screen that we want to display).
Firstly I have to decide how we are going to use reports via the Developer Suite -for development work. Then I have to work out how to do it via the Application Server - for testing and production. So if you have two variations of any solutions - one for DS and one for AS, could you give both please?
Problem
Problem is that I cannot get the bean to work. I get report parameter form displaying ok, hit submit and then get the Database User Authentication window poppling up with the "REP-51018: Need database user authentication" error that I've noticed a few other people in this forum have had too. If the user id etc is then entered in this window, the report parameter form redisplays (from a second html) and submitting this causes the report to display. Don't like the Database User Authentication window poppling up and don't like the second parameter form - html for this has the userid etc in it.
For me though I can't even get the bean to output any logs. Got any ideas to help me at least output some logs?
Also do I have to do anything to the browser (IE6) to get it to read the cookies?
Do I need to change the bean code for the DS in some way - eg to avoid using domain name (as I noticed in another thread)?
My code exactly follows the whitepaper and I also carefully followed the instructions for adding the bean to the form and configuring the forms services - as per white paper.
Looking forward to some answers

URL Problem Oracle 10g Forms and Reports

Hello Room,
As this question is related to forms and reports both, I have posted it here. I have a system which needs to be deployed in Local Lan Network and also the same Local Lan user should be able to access the same application via internet. In Addition there are also suppliers, customers who dosen't have oracle installed but will be accessing forms and reports via the url through internet which will be a natted url to our public IP. I have loaded Oracle 11g on windows 7 and all my network clients are on windows 7. I have not loaded forms and reports 10g on server, but only database 11g is installed on server. My problem is listed in points below:-
1. Do I need to install forms and reports on server to achieve the above scenario ? or the local network installation of forms and reports on all client PC's will do ?
2. To start OC4J instance, shall i start it only on server through batch file while booting server, or it needs to be started on all client PC's to start work from client end ?
3. When i run forms from my client PC I get local url http://127.0.0.1/ to reach forms servlet which end up in http://localpc/.... from cookie redirect, whether this needs to be http://server/...... on all client PC's to reach the forms servlet ?
4. If I have to start url http://server/ instead of http://127.0.0.1/... automatically while running every form to reach forms servlet, how to achieve this ?
5. There are reports to be run from forms and parameters needs to be passed in reports from forms 10g. So in web.show_document shall i refer to absolute url for local acccess or http://server url as the same user can go to internet to access the data. ?
6. if I load forms and reports 10g on server, do I need to install forms and reports on client end seperately to gain access in local network ?
7. My forms and reports folders are located on server which are shared for access.
8. What will be the scenario in case of suppliers and customers who does not have anything installed on their PC and will access forms and reports through internet ?
I want to minimize my work. Please suggest me how to proceed about accessing forms, passing url from forms to reports in web.show_document, and Internet access url ?
Your help is highly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I have tried to explain you in decent way several times that I am not lazy and there are reasons that I do not want to read pdf, because I have already read that all ! In the future please do not respond to my thread. I am not asking for your personal time. If you do not understand my efforts. Just ignore it. I have read all the white papers of Oracle and give me your email id, I will send you all the code which I have read or downloaded. You should know that the knowledge diminish as the technology change. And that does not mean every user in the forum is stupid and as wise as you are. I repeat to state that I have 15 years of experience in Oracle forms 6i._ including Oracle 7,8,9i. This is the first time I am ever visiting oracle forums since past several years. I was the first person to use oracle 7 in my city where people were not knowing what oracle is. At that time I was knowing that the password for scott is tiger which even the reputed institutes in my city was not knowing. at that time I was also knowing that one of the person from oracle made a mistake in indexing the rowid. I think this should be enough to you for now.
