Connecting Oracle9i Forms to my Local Database

I downloaded the Oracle9i Forms successfully and installed it, but I cannot connect to my local database on the same machine. Please Help!

Ah Ha,
I figured it out.
I checked the Apache error log and saw that it was looking
for _mmServerScripts.
The file for my site was to deep in the www directory (to
many sub files). I moved it up so that apache could find the
_mmServerScripts and bingo I am golden.
I hope this helps anyone who runs into a similar problem.

Connect to Form 6i from local database 8i

Hello,
I installed Oracle 8.1.7 and Oracle Form Developer 6i on my PC locally, and I can't get the Form Builder or Procedure Builder connect to the Oracle database.
I can connect to Oracle 8.1.7 using SQLPlus, but not through Form Builder or Procedure Builder.
I did the followings:
C> tnsping dbname
-- this works fine. it pings the database.
C> tnsping80 dbname
--- this failed and it gives the error:
TNS-12538: TNS:no such protocol adapter
Please help. Thanks.
Andrew.

I did what you told me, but still got error:

Is there error in the sqlnet.ora? or it need addional setting? Does this problem cause by loading different version of Oracle in the same PC? Do the Oracle 8i and Form6i need to be in one home? Please help to resolve this problem. many thanks....

What are the software i need to install.

I must say honestly that I got a little ticked when you have mentioned .odb is oracle lite.You should mention the complete name of the software whichever it may be as its not at all mandatory,everyone would know the acronym.
Anyways,a quick search revealed this.

Dear Aamir,
Please copy TNSNAMES.ORA file from your Database Home/NETWORK/ADMIN directory and copy that in NETWORK/ADMIN directory where you installed Forms/Reports 6i. then you can connect to your server by using SID as host string like: system/manager@<SID example: ORCL>

How do I connect from forms 6i and SQL Plus to Oracle XE?

I have successfully installed Oracle database XE on my work labtop. This machine has already oracle forms,reports,sqlplus installed locally. I have tnsnames.ora file in orant/net80/admin directory. I have created an entry in this tnsnames.ora file copied from the tnsnames.ora file created during the installation of XE in the directory where xe is installed.
I can connect to XE from dos promt by typing sqlplus system/password@xe. But if I go to sqlplus 8.0 (Windows) and try to connect , I get a tnsnames error. Same as when connecting from forms.
Someone please advice. Also If i create an application using Oracle Database Xe
and Oracle forms 6i , Is there any way that I can embedd the database in the forms to distribute as a package.?
Thanks
George

George,
please give us a bit more details:
1) You are on Windows XP SP2, right?
2) please post the result of your tnsping80
D:\Oracle>tnsping80 xe
TNS Ping Utility for 32-bit Windows: Version 8.0.6.3.0 - Production on 12-JAN-2006

Attempting to contact (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=localhost)(PORT=1521))
OK (360 msec)3) In which order did you install the oracle software, XE was last, right?
4) Can you still connect using Forms to your other databases? Is everything else still working, just the connect to XE doesn't work?
5) please post your PATH variable:
echo %PATH%
6) please post the XE entry from your tnsnames.ora
7) please post the result of your "normal" tnsping:
tnsping xe
Also If i create an
application using Oracle Database Xe
and Oracle forms 6i , Is there any way that I can
embedd the database in the forms to distribute as a
package.?Sure, XE is meant to be embedded by other solutions. I guess Oracle will have detailed documentation on how to create a package, preinstall the necessary schemas and objects and distribute it together with your forms and reports.

How to connect oracle forms 10g with oracle 10g express database?

Hi all,
I have downloaded and installed oracle forms 10g and oracle database 10g express, when I open net configuration assistant to test local net service, I tested the default service (EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA) BUT THE RESULT IS "ora-28547 connection to server failed probable oracle net admin error"
How can I solve this issue?
My tnsname.ora is located in c:\DevSuiteHome\network\admin\tnsnames.ora, and its contents is:
# tnsnames.ora Network Configuration File: c:\DevSuiteHome\network\admin\tnsnames.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = nour-pc)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = PLSExtProc)
Edited by: user10228498 on Jan 21, 2011 11:37 PM

I copied the contents of C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\NETWORK\ADMIN\tnsnames.ora and appended it to C:\DevSuiteHome\NETWORK\ADMIN\tnsnames.ora
and tried net configuration management to test local net service, the test was ok, thus the first problem resolved.
but the login problem in forms developer still exist and it claims that: ora-12154 tns could not resolve the connect identifier specified.
any ideas?

How to connect the local database of Pesonal Oracle From FormBuilder of develope 2000

I installed developer 2000 with personal Oracle in win95. I opened Oracle Form builder and click connect submenu of File. It prompts for user name, password and Database. I added scott/tiger for user name and password and I do not know what I should add into the database item. I tried to add oracle or Local Database to the database item, but it did not work. I also tried to use system/manager/oracle, but it still did not work.
Please tell me what should I add to the database item.
Thanks

You can use the "Oracle Net 8 assistant", "Oracle Net 8 Easy config" to see if you have the appropriate entry to the server in the local tnsnames.ora file (find it!). I mean that one in the Forms&Reports home, not that one in the Oracle_Home.
Under local I mean the file tnsnames.ora in your application, not at the Oracle Server - this is a common mistake.
You have to have there an entry like:
REKS816.RILA.us =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = bigbluenew.rila.us)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = REKS816)
It is a bad practice, but you can add such entry using simple text editor. But before that make a copy of tnsnames.ora in order to restore it if you do not succeed.
After that go to "control panel" and run "services".
Look at your Oracle_Home_TNSlistener80 process. Stop it! Start it again!
If you work on Unix find the relevant processes and notions of the Unix OS.

Connecting form 6i to oracle database 10G express edition

I am unable to connect forms 6i to oracle database 10G express edition.
form builder closes without any message.

Hi, i was try that solution, but have some problem.
1) I have stopped other database (Oracle 8i, OracleService + Listener), none Oracle service was running.
2) I was install Oracle XE Univ.
3) Run sqlplus from XE
"D:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\BIN>sqlplus system/PASSWORD@xe as sysdba"
4) Shutdown immediate - OK
5) Startup mount - failed
SQL> startup mount
ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor
6) I was check registry "hkey_local_machine\software\oracle" and delete key "local" (walue was set to connection to 8i database).
7) I was checking status of Listener from XE (after shutdown).
"Listening Endpoints Summary...
(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=ipc)(PIPENAME=\\.\pipe\EXTPROC_FOR_XEipc)))
(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=jacek)(PORT=1521)))
Services Summary...
Service "CLRExtProc" has 1 instance(s).

Service "PLSExtProc" has 1 instance(s).
Instance "PLSExtProc", status UNKNOWN, has 1 handler(s) for this service...
The command completed successfully"
Have anyone suggestion how to connect "directly" to XE (without @CONNECTION string) ?
If source of problem can be having DB 8i installed on same machine ?
BBye.

Dear Gurus,
I am trying to run a procedure to grant Select Access to all objects of a schema to all schema but getting below error messages:
Error report:
ORA-02019: connection description for remote database not found
This is on local database and all required privileges have been given to run this procedure but I dont understand why this error is being thrown every time. I am able to fetch all the tables directly (i.e. SELECT object_name FROM user_objects where OBJECT_TYPE IN('TABLE','VIEW','MATERIALIZED VIEW') AND STATUS='VALID')
Kindly let me know if you have any solution.

Hi,
It seems you are fetching records from one database to other. for that you need to create dblink for that.
Create dblink first and then try to fetch records using that dblink.
ORA-02019: connection description for remote database not found
Cause: An attempt was made to connect or log in to a remote database using a connection description that could not be found.
Action: Specify an existing database link. Query the data dictionary to see all existing database links. See your operating system-specific Net8 documentation for valid connection descriptors.

ODBC in a local database not connects by IPC/TCP. Oracle 8.1.5 or 8.1.7

Hello, my friends!
I've been having problems with the connection to oracle 8.1.5 via ODBC.I configure a tnsnames and it requieres a protocol: TCP, SPX, IPC, named pipes. I started using
tnsnames with TCP protocol and the connection via ODBC shows the message: 'Server rejected the connection'. My application and the database are in the same PC, so i'm accesing via ODBC to the database locally. Then i tried configuring IPC protocol and then i tested by ODBC test and it showed me a message: ERROR: native error: 12560, TNS: protocol adapter error.
my intention it's to access oracle by ODBC, both the application and the database are in the same PC, i have not network.
so, i'd appreciate any help, please, any comments send me an email to :
[email protected]

Hi, Yes! i can connect by SQL*Plus and it works well, but the problem it's because i have the database and my application in the same PC, so I need to connect in local mode. I couldn4t do it by IPC, it shows the message: Protocol Error, using TCP it shows me the message: TNS: 12154 - No listener
thanks

Local database connection

I am using developer 3.0 on the NT server machine, with oracle 8
I want to connect with my local database which step i need to take.
please help me in detail

On NT using a new tns_alias works. In your tnsnames.ora file create a new entry for a TCP connection :-
host=<ip address of your NT machine>
sid=<e.g. ORCL>
port=1521
Next create a JDBC connection using this tns_alias. Avoid using beq... or 127.0.0.1.

Can I connect my form to a database to populate data?

Can I connect my form to a database to populate data?

Hi;
You want to poplulate your form with data from a database, or to populate the database from the form?
There isn't any way to import the data into the form in FormsCentral from a database. To populate and external database from the table on the View Responses tab there are no APIs to do it automatically but you can export to Excel or CSV and then import the Excel or CSV into your database: http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-1383

Trouble connecting Reporting Services to local database

I am experiencing issues trying to configure/connect the Reporting Services in order to change the database to a local database.

Hi Ralph,
According to your description, it seems that you are trying to connect to a local database when create a data source in a Reporting Services report.
If in this scenario, in the Connection Properties dialog box, we can type . or localhost or server_name in the Server name textbox. Then select the database, Windows Authentication or SQL Server Authentication to log on the server. For more details,
please see the following blog:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/microsoft_in_education/archive/2013/01/31/ssrs-101-creating-a-shared-data-source.aspx
If there are any misunderstanding, please elaborate the issue for further investigation.
