Conversion from Forms4.5 to 9iDS forms

Hi
We are running forms4.5 still but going to migrate to Forms9iDs.
is there any utiltiy to migrate to 9ids forms
Is there any simple way meaning can I compile the same form developed using 4.5 and can use in 9iDs environement.
I workd in 9iDs, I know that the run_report changed to run_report_object, Also i have to deploy using web.show etc but apart from that How do I convert existing forms in forms4.5 in big production environement to 9iDs.
I appreciate your response.
Thanks for the help

First, give a look at

and related link
I think you have to migrate in 2 step
1) from 4.5 to 6
2) then from 6 to 9 and above

    One of the biggest problem is that the "field" in form 4.5 is replaced by "item" in form 6i in all non-procedural language and procedureal language. You have to replace it manually as far as I know. Another problem is that form 4.5, after compiling in form 6i,would be resized the layout. You may be required to either enlarge or reduce the size of the layout. Hope this little clue may help you

  • Unclean conversion of chart reports to html form

    dear all,
    i created some charts like pie, bar graphs. i want to convert
    that chart reports to html form.
    my problem is that after conversion of chart reports to html form,
    whatever the part of chart is unclean, it's totally in block colour.
    what to do to present that chart part in RGB colour format on
    the web. please some one help me as it is urgently required.
    i am using the reports buider 6i.
    thanks in advance

    Here 'part of chart is unclean' means: that a report contained
    two parts one is normal )in the form of data) , 2nd one is graphical
    representation(pie or bar graph which is imported from graphics
    builder) of that dat.
    The above quoted statement means that graphical representation
    part is not clear.
    i tried for the solution(Danny's suggestion). but it didn't workout.
    could any one tell another solution?
    TIA

  • Struts/ADF/Toplink conversion from 10.1.2 to 10.1.3

    Hi. We have a J2EE application based on Struts/ADF/Toplink.
    We just let the JDeveloper migrate the whole application itself.
    We solved a few minor problems, but now we have the greater one:
    - we have in domain classes some getX...(), setX...() methods, intended for example
    for getting attributes of nested objects or for conversion from String to Date.
    In older version, when you had some getXSomeAtr() method in domain class, the attribute
    XSomeAttr was automatically generated into Data Control.
    In newer version it's not! If you want the attribute to be in data control, you must
    have an private attribute XSomeAtr declared in domain class.
    Example - we have these attibutes (first two has their own getters and setters and are
    mapped in toplink, the third is unmapped)
         private Date datum;
    private String nazev;
    private String XDatumAsDate;
    and methods
    public String getXDatumAsDate() {
    return OurUtils.dateToStringAsDate(getDatum());
    public void setXDatumAsDate(String datum) throws ParseException{
    Date d = OurUtils.StringToDateAsDate(datum);
    setDatum(d);
    And the form look like this
    <html:text property="XDatumAsDate" .../>
    <html:text property="nazev"     .../>
    Reading is ok, but attempt to modify date in input field ends with
    "JBO-35009: Setting attribute for XDatumAsDate in object methodRSICollection failed"
    Are we doing something wrong ? We just need to have the date entering under our control and
    be able to enter dates in various formats.
    Thanks in advance for any comments.

    I compared the both old and new data control xml files and found the difference. The previous attribute descriptor has IsUpdateable="true" but the new has IsUpdateable="0".
    Manually changing won't help - data control generation of any class regenerates all data controls and puts back IsUpdateable="0". I'm stuck now.

  • 9iDS forms 9i gif icons won't display

    I have been on metalink and have yet to get a ggod answer on how to make my gif icons appear on my forms in 9iDS Forms 9i. I am on adevelopment machine and have modified my %ORACLE_HOME%\forms90\j2ee\orion-web.xml by addidng the folling lines:
    <virtual-directory virtual-path="/webicons"
    real-path="d:\webicons" />
    Then I modified %ORACLE_HOME%\forms90\java\forms\registry\registry.dat file to read:
    default.icons.iconpath=/webicons/
    default.icons.iconextension=gif
    and I've tried
    default.icons.iconpath=/webicons
    default.icons.iconextension=gif
    and I've tried
    default.icons.iconpath=webicons/
    default.icons.iconextension=gif
    My %ORACLE_HOME%\forms90\server\formsweb.cfg reads:
    imageBase=DocumentBase
    I was told to remove imageBase=DocumentBase from %ORACLE_HOME%\forms90\server\basejini.htm but I only found:
    <PARAM NAME="imageBase" VALUE="%imageBase%">
    imageBase="%imageBase%"
    in that file. But, even commenting on or the other or both did not yield positive results.
    After each modification to the above files I made sure that I closed the browser and stopped and re-started the OC4J Instance before opening the browser.
    Once again, I am doing this on a development computer with all files on that computer and I am NOT deploying any of this to 9iAS.
    What is wrong?
    TIA,
    Ed.

    Ed,
    You're right, there's no reason that you must use the jar file method. For testing, it makes sense to use your images "as is".
    I think I see the problem with your config. You should always do this test to to verify that you can see your icons before running your Form: look at your icon in a browser.
    You said that you modified %ORACLE_HOME%\forms90\j2ee\orion-web.xml and created the following virtual path:
      <virtual-directory virtual-path="/webicons" real-path="d:\webicons" />Restart your OC4J listener, and see if you can see the icon in your browser:
      http://host:port/[color=red]forms90[color]/webicons/someicon.gif
    I bet you can. That's because you edited the orion-web.xml for Forms, which affects everything under the /forms90/ path. That is, host:port/forms90/ is the document root to that orion-web.xml. This is perfectly ok, but in your registry.dat, you need to put in the full thing:
      default.icons.iconpath=/[color=red]forms90[/color]/webiconsIf you want to do it the "normal" way, modify the following:
    %ORACLE_HOME%\j2ee\Oracle9iDS\application-deployments\default\defaultWebApp\orion-web.xml
    This is the xml file for the base web listener. Now you can see the icon in your browser:
      http://host:port/webicons/someicon.gif
    which will let you use the following in your Registry.dat file:
      default.icons.iconpath=/webiconsSee, I told you that you were close!

  • Sync old iMessage conversations from iPhone to new iPad & Mac?

    I have had my iPhone for a couple years now, and have accumulated a fairly large amount of iMessage conversations from various people. A few days ago, I purchased my first iPad and also updated my Mac to Mountain Lion. By doing so, I now have access to iMessage on three devices in total, whereas before I only had one.
    I have managed to setup my devices so that all new iMessages I send and receive are being synced between them. However, is it possible to sync my old iMessage conversations from my iPhone back onto my iPad and Mac?
    I would like to do so in order to keep a full record of the past conversations I have had with my contacts.
    I have done a bit of research before posting, but the only related topics I found werehttps://discussions.apple.com/message/19095937 andhttps://discussions.apple.com/message/17818920. The former was left unresolved, whereas the latter describes a solution which I am unable to reproduce.
    Could anyone shed some light on this for me?

    Hi,
    For me this was very early on in my Mountain Lion days.
    I would now say that you cannot sync iMessages from an iOS device that were sent before your linked any Apple ID with the iPhone Number or added the Mac to the use of the Apple ID.
    At the point at which and Apple ID is used on both an iPad and the Mac version of Messages becomes it's "Start date"
    The same can be said for adding an Apple ID to an iPhone and the Mac.
    On the Mac all messages can be saved if you wish.
    This are in the .ichat format which you can send to Mac  Buddies and then can open them and read them as if they were the chat (i.e they display as "chats').
    There appears to be no way in iTunes to access the iMessages (or SMS ones) on the iPhone.
    Someone who knows more about the iOS may be able to tell you if they are accessible another way.

  • Getting ÿþ as saved conversations from Lync in Outlook in Office 2013

    Hi,
    I've been trying to get to the bottom of this and have found similar posts, but no one seems to have an answer.
    When I IM someone using Lync 2013, they get a pop up notification but instead of the message they see ÿþ<.  Once they open the chat window, they can see my typed text.  Occasionally, certain people can't see the first line of my chat, but as
    long as they keep the chat window open, they can see everything new I type.
    All my conversations that are saved in outlook show ÿþ< for the text and are unreadable.  I've disabled the saving of conversations because they have become worthless.
    I believe it has to do with BOM but have not been able to find a way to fix this.
    If I copy a conversation from the chat window and paste it into Microsoft Word it shows ÿþ<, but if I paste it into notepad the conversation appears.
    (I had inserted a screenshot here, but am unable to because I am unable to figure out how to get my account "verified")
    I've tried changing the preferred encoding for outgoing messages: to Unicode (UTF-8) in Outlook, but this had no effect and I can't find a similar option in Lync 2013.
    (I had inserted a screenshot here, but am unable to because I am unable to figure out how to get my account "verified")
    I enabled logging for Lync and the event IDs that come up are 1, 11 and 12, to which I cannot find any information for at the moment.
    Any help and or suggestions would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    Did the issue happen only for you or for multiple users?
    Please try to delete Lync User Profile and information on Registry, then repair Office 2013.
    The path of Lync User Profile: %UserProfile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Lync
    The path for information on Registry: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Lync\[email protected]
    Then test the issue again.

    Usually only Open Invoices and Unapplied Receipts are migrated from Old system to New Instance.
    Post Migration Reconciliation shall be tough in that scenario. Reconsider/Rediscuss with Client.
    Migration can be done using APIs or Custom Scripts using Standard Interfaces.
    Hope this is helpful

  • Prevent multiple users from editing/approving the same form SPD 2013,SP 2013

    Hello all, I have a workflow with a to do task, the task is assigned to a group so any of the users in that group can go in and do a quality check on form data and approve it.  How do I prevent multiple users from working on the
    same form? do I just require check out? or is there a way to notify the rest of the group that a user has already started the quality check.

    The "Require Checkout" option is your best bet.  You can also enable the auto checkout on edit option to allow minimal effort on the side of the user.  Other users will then get the error message stating the item is checked out, if they try to
    edit it.
    If you'd like, you could add a workflow to the task list that triggers when something is changed.  That workflow can check if the item is checked out and if so, email the other users assigned to the task.
    I trust that answers your question...
    Thanks

  • Since downloading Firefox 4, I am having problems archiving gmail conversations from my inbox view. Also, when I go to enter a new event in google calendar, I now have to click the cursor in the box to type the event (it used to let me just start typing).

    Since downloading Firefox 4, I am having problems archiving gmail conversations from my inbox view (either one or several conversations) as it says "No Conversations Selected" when I have selected one or several. Also, when I go to enter a new event in google calendar, I have to click the cursor in the box to type the event (it used to let me just start typing) or else it flips out and starts jumping to day view or another month. Does anyone know how to fix either of these?

    I have had this problem; but while trying to fix another problem, I reset my preferences for Firefox and it fixed this problem as well. To reset preferences, follow this link: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Resetting%20preferences

  • How to delete multiple songs from iPhone 5S without losing form iTunes? The unchek function has not worked. Why?

    How to delete multiple songs from iPhone 5S without losing form iTunes? The unchek function has not worked. Why?

    Sorry I had to reply through your profile Gail from Maine, my PC has java issues. In any event, when I delete them directly from my device everything is perfect and cool. However, in the rare instance I want to add new music that I actually buy in stores (I know, quite the unique and old-fashioned idea...but hey Im an audiophile) once I upload the tunes, everytime I sync my library it re-adds everything that I spent hours deleting. In a perfect world, I thought I could maintain a massive iTunes Library, and add or delete (remove) songs from my iPhone to save both memory or keep my iPhone selections more current/apt to my musical "tastes" at that time. I know about the whole playlist thing, but thought there might be an easier way. ie - checking/un-checking the little box next to the song name, and then doing a sync. Again, everytime I do this however, whether everything is checked or un-checked it adds the entire library! So frustrating. Any suggestions. Thank you graiously in advance for your help.

  • Page numbers incorrect after conversion from Excel to pdf

    Page numbers incorrect after conversion from Excel to pdf
    ""This above link (thread:834599) is from a case back in 2011 that claims to solve this problem, but it does not solve this problem. I think that customer only cared about having continuous page numbering, not discrete page numbering per sheet.
    ========================
    I still have this issue in Acrobat XI and MS Office Professional Plus 2010. I keep upgrading to no avail. This regression has resulted in a huge time drain for me. If you fixed it, please explain how I can get my hands on the resolution.
    Previous versions of Excel and Adobe Acrobat enabled flexibility around the "Page #" of "Number of Pages" (Page &[Page] of &[Pages]) token, depending on context and usage. The "# of pages" token could represent EITHER the number of pages in the workbook OR the number of pages in the tab/sheet, depending on how you generated the PDF:
    You could select "Selected Sheets" and then select all or some of the individual sheets in the workbook, and the PDF would honor the discrete numbering of each of the sheets, so the first page of each sheet was p1 and the "# of pages" was the number of pages in the sheet; not the number of pages in the workbook; or
    You could select "Entire Workbook" and the PDF would honor continuous page numbers across all sheets, as a single document.
    Now, it only honors the total number of pages in the workbook, regardless of the method you use to publish to PDF: saving as PDF, printing to PDF, using "createPDF" from Acrobat plugin to Excel's menu ribbon; selecting all sheets, some sheets, or Entire Workbook; automatic First page number or "1" under Page Setup > Page> First page number. (This last option, btw, does restart every sheet at p1, but it hardly makes sense if the total number of pages is still the total number in the workbook instead of the number in the sheet.)
    I spent a lot of time trying each which way that the blog posts recommended and have tried this on multiple versions of Excel and Acrobat now.
    NONE of these time-consuming experiments gave me what I wanted.They all insist that "Page #" of "Number of Pages" (Page &[Page] of &[Pages]) is the total number of pages in the workbook or the total number of pages in the selected sheets combined.
    The numbering are correct in Excel Page Layout.
    The same issue happens when using LibreOffice calc. (Although, I never tested with Libre Office before, so I don't know that it ever worked).
    The workaround now is to create PDF for each spreadsheet one at a time, and then compile them using the Acrobat combine/binder feature. All alternatives are extremely time consuming and tedious. It used to be automatic. This is a major regression that has gone untreated for over a year now, maybe two years.
    My task takes infinitely more time to complete than it did with previous versions of Acrobat. That means that days are added to my project, when the functionality used to enable a quick pdf generation that was ready for review, now I have to do this very manual time-consuming set of steps to generate a draft. As the project has grown and more tabs are added, my pdf-generation task takes that much longer. We require lots of drafts. It used to be easy and fast. Now it is hard and time-consuming.
    In my opinion, the problem is not Excel; it is Acrobat because it was introduced with an upgrade in Acrobat, not an upgrade in Excel. The problem was introduced in Acrobat 9 or 10. Please provide a patch or add-on or something.

    If you are setting up the page numbers in Excel, the resulting PDF would display the the page numbers created in Excel. On Excel 2010 support page, (http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/insert-and-remove-page-numbers-on-worksheets- HA010342619.aspx#BM2) is stated the following "tip" which indicates by default Excel 2010 starts numbering each tab with 1. Exel's workaround tip is below - 
    Set a different number for the starting page
    Tip   To number all of the worksheet pages in a workbook sequentially, first add page numbers to all worksheets in a workbook, and then use the following procedure to begin the page number for each worksheet with the appropriate number. For example, if your workbook contains two worksheets that with both be printed as two pages, you would use this procedure to begin the page numbering for the second worksheet with the number 3.
    On the Page Layout tab, in the Page Setup group, click the Dialog Box Launcher next to Page Setup.
    On the Page tab, in the First page number box, type the number that you want to use for the first page.
    Tip   To use the default numbering system, type Auto in the First page number box.
    Also helpful in the same section is the note on viewing page numbers. To see if the page numbering dilemma originates in Excel make sure you are using the Page Layout View see below:
    Hide All
    If you want numbers shown on pages when you print a worksheet  you can insert page numbers in the headers or footers of the worksheet pages. Page numbers that you insert are not displayed on the worksheet in Normal view — they are shown only in Page Layout view and on the printed pages.
    Overall it may be easier not to create the page numbers in Excel but instead create then in Acrobat using the Headers and Footers option in Acrobat.  I hope this helps - it sounds like a frustrating issue you are experiencing.
