D2k Forms/Reports on WinXP

We have been running Oracle 7 work group Server 7.3.2.2.0 (OS=Netware SB4.2) and Developer/2000 1.3.2 (OS=95/98/W2k/XP successfully since 1997. In 2003 the Workstations where changed to XP Pro and all was well until last week! Now out of 40 Workstations we have problems with 33 of them. Also the problems are intermittent and an irregular in that there is not a set action before the error appears. The errors we are now getting are FRM-40505, FRM-40655, FRM-40505, not in any specific order. What makes this really strange is that 7 are working. Please can anyone shed some light on this or even provide a solution. Thank you in advance for your help. Kind regards, James

Hi ya all,
If anyone is still watching this thread then here is an update.
Fresh install of D2k did not solve the problem. However I have a ghost image of the default PC setup. I have installed this which effectively roles the PC's back to december and now everything is working fine. Now to do the updates one by one and see which causes the problem!
However another site which has the same oracle and DB version has just experienced the same problems as the updates where all done over the weekend. There is no image of these PC's and so this will now cause me a major problem.
If anyone can shed some light then I would be grateful.
Thanks again, James

Future of d2k (forms,reports)??

hello friends, what is future of D2K.
Is it going to be replaced by any other oracles product.
Presently I am working on oracle and d2k since more than 5 years.
what should I learn in place of d2k.

Development and Production Requirements for a Forms/Report application

Dear all,
We have an application witch run in client/Server mode using Forms/Reports 6i For 300 users.We want to migrate it on Forms/Reports 9I using Oracle 9IAS and Oracle 9IDB.
I would like to have advises about material requirements of both development and production environment((developer deskop, development appServer and databaseServer, end user desktop,production databaseServer and production AppServer).
Thank u for giving more details about my request.

I have my dev and production on 2 different databases/instances, and the workspaces have a different name aswell (think 'dev' and 'prod').
I do reuse my application ids, which makes the whole process a lot more manageable: easier for me to identify and replacing a whole application.
However, when i want to replace only 1 page, apex stumbles over the workspace. Bummer.
So i took an export of a page on both workspaces, and opened the files.
prompt Set Credentials...
begin
-- Assumes you are running the script connected to SQL*Plus as the Oracle user APEX_040100 or as the owner (parsing schema) of the application.
wwv_flow_api.set_security_group_id(p_security_group_id=>nvl(wwv_flow_application_install.get_workspace_id,1377027056414870));
end;
wwv_flow_application_install.get_workspace_id,1377027056414870));
I took both workspace IDs and keep them in a simple txt in my installation-files folder. Each time i need to import a page from dev->prod i go in the exported file from dev and change the workspace id to the id of my production workspace id. Everything works magically after that.
If your application ids also differ, you can try changing the id in the exported file aswell, but i can't tell if it works or not since i've not done that yet.
prompt Set Application ID...
begin
   -- SET APPLICATION ID
   wwv_flow.g_flow_id := nvl(wwv_flow_application_install.get_application_id,130);
   wwv_flow_api.g_id_offset := nvl(wwv_flow_application_install.get_offset,0);
null;
end;where of course you'd change around nvl(wwv_flow_application_install.get_application_id,130);

Upgrade from 11i to R12 - Custom Forms,Reports and Workflows

Dear Community Friends,
We are planning for upgrade from oracle apps 11.5.10.2 to R12.
We have custom Forms,Form Libraries,Reports and Workflows.
Kindly provide me for approach on how to migrate Custom form libraries,reports and Workflows.
I beleive, this thread will exists as one shot point for custom forms,reports,workflow upgradation from 11i to r12 with detailed steps.
I know that many links exists here in the forum for all the above objects mentioned,but still from all those i am able to get a clear picture for oracle forms but not for custom form libraries ,reports and workflows.
Also,this post will provide a low level,practical picture of the steps for those who are in line with this.
Links i have read for all these in our forum are:
For Custom Forms,
Re: Planning to upgrade from 11i to R12
Re: Custom forms: After upgrading 11i to R12
ofcourse,'n' number of links exists providing metalink notes also.
Hussain,Helios and some others also has given many updates regd this.
For custom workflow upgradation,
Upgrade Workflow 11i to R12
Workflow Upgrade
Workflow Upgrade
For reports,links mentioned the below metalink notes:
Do Not Compile EBS R12 Reports Using rwconverter.sh or Reports Builder from IDS 10gR2 [ID 786794.1]
Using the OracleAS 10.1.2 Forms and Reports Builders with Oracle Applications Release 12 [ID 444248.1]
Per my understanding, after searching in many threads,i am here by summarising the practical low level steps for custom forms migration
Please correct me,if i am wrong.
1) Download the Forms(.fmb's) and all PLL's(all the PLL from resource folder in AU_TOP) into a Local Machine Folder
2) Open the forms using Forms Developer 10G and connect to DB
3) Compile by clicking compilein Forms Developer and then save it.
4) Upload the Saved Forms(.fmb's) into the new R12 server(system) in the respective custom paths(paths similar to 11i Server)
5) Compile all the forms using the command like below(example command is shown below or f60 gen commands or frmcmp.sh utility) in the respective custom form paths,
this will generate the .fmx's.
frmcmp_batch module=FORMNAME.fmb userid=apps/apps output_file=FORMNAME.fmx compile_all=yes
Link for compiling forms: https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/ui/km/SearchDocDisplay.jspx?_afrLoop=359210362972527&type=DOCUMENT&id=1085928.1&displayIndex=3&_afrWindowMode=0&_adf.ctrl-state=c348xvwbg_98
6) Open the form and check in R12 instance
As per my understanding for custom form libraries,we can just copy paste the PLL's from 11i server to R12 server (Please correct me,if i am wrong)
Can anyone please help me out in custom reports and custom workflows.Sorry that,i could not get a practical and clear picture for reports and also for workflow even after referring many threads and metalink notes mentioned.
As for reports,some says that Developer Suite 10g can be used and .rdf can be used in R12.
Some says that reports should be converted to XML published as reports does not exists in R12.
So,i am not clear on this.
Thanks,

So,i am not clear on this.You can still use RDF files in R12, and just follow the approach you mentioned above, and you do not have to migrate them to XML publisher (though it is recommended, but this can be done after the upgrade as an enhancement task).
For custom workflow, you need also to do the same thing, open them using workflow builder and make sure they work in R12 (correct the code if required and save them again in R12 once they work properly).

Hussein

Form & Report on a Webservice

Hi,
When I try to build a Form & Report on a web service(XDB web service), it won't allow me to build it by throwing an error message.
The error message is ORA-20001: Unable to create form on table. ORA-20001: Query must begin with SELECT or WITH
The webservice reference is a manually created simple soap envelope.
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:oraw="http://xmlns.oracle.com/orawsv" xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
   <soapenv:Header>
    </soapenv:Header>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <oraw:query>
         <oraw:query_text type="SQL">SELECT * FROM ORDERS</oraw:query_text>
      </oraw:query>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>The form contains the input items needed for basic authentication. If I check the same soap envelope with SoapUI, or test the webservice reference in APEX it returns the result set with no issues.
What could be the cause with apex form & report on webservice
The Apex version is 4.0.0.00.46

Hi,
Yes I can build a webservice reference from the wsdl. But then it will recognize all other input attributes except for the crucial attribute <oraw:query_text type=""></oraw:query_text> . That's why I tend to create the soap envelope manually.
Thanks

Button based on data is not working in form/ report / region

create or replace procedure "BUT2"
is

end;this above procedure works fine in SQL Command browser. I am unable to make it as page form / report.
My requirement is i want to bring this images in form / report. Based on click button, the value need to be parsed to other page?
how to do it?

andi_raj

is not working Insufficient information. In what way is it "not working"? The page doesn't render as required? There's an error message? The browser crashes? The server room has been trampled into dust by a herd of buffalo?

v1 := v1 || ' ' ||'<input inline type =submit style="color:BLUE;background-color:RED" value='||c2.plot_id||'>';
...It is not possible to generate form elements in an APEX page in this way. The [APEX_ITEM API|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14373_01/apirefs.32/e13369/apex_item.htm#CACEEEJE] is the only way to create APEX items in PL/SQL. However it contains no procedures to generate button items, so an alternative design is required in this case, e.g. a report with links.
(Also what is the intention of "inline" in the above code? [There is no *inline* attribute|http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/interact/forms.html#h-17.4].)

How to add a new font into Report Builder and Oracle Forms/Reports Server?

Hi,
I've searched the forum and can't find this being discussed.
My developers run Report Builder 10.1.2.0.2 on their XP laptops.
Their reports run (in production) on Oracle Forms/Reports Server 10.1.2.0.2.
This server runs on MS Windows 2003, SP2.
They've got a client who wants reports using the "Garamond Western" font.
So....how do I get this font onto the developer's Report Builder laptops, and onto the Oracle Forms/Reports Server?
I've moved various 'Garamond' fonts into C:\WINDOWS\FONTS on both the laptops and the server, but neither seem to recognize it.
Thanks for your help.

Thanks.
This answers 1/2 of my question.
The developer can now use Report Builder on his laptop, with the new fonts.
But when he moves this new Report to the Oracle Application Server/Forms-Reports Server, it fails to use the new fonts.
The Oracle App Server/Forms-Report Server is Version 10.1.2.0.2. It runs on MS Windows 2003, SP2.
I have installed the exact same fonts on this server, into C:\WINDOWS\Fonts.
I have used REGEDIT to change REPORTS_PATH....and placed C:\WINDOWS\Fonts; as the first value in this field.
I have then stopped and restarted the Forms-Reports Server.

Search on Master Detail form/report

Hi,
I noticed that when I created a new application in Apex 4.01 basing the intial page on a Master Detail form/report, I was able to add a search item to the initial page. When I go to add another page with a different Master detail form/report, I did not have any option for adding a search item to the report page. Seems like an oversight?
I would appreciate any hints as to how to add same search item to my 2nd Master/Detail form/report.
Thanks,
Pat

Upgrade Oracle Forms/Reports from 6i to 11g

Hi you Oracle experts,
I'm considering to upgrade my Oracle Forms/Reports application from 6i to 11g.
However, I see dozens of separated server components on the download page in OTN.
Can anyone guide me what server/developer software components should I prepare to install ?
Also, please tell me the service dependency between the server components.
Thank you in advance.

It depends on which Machine you want to install. Its different for a developer and a Server.
For Forms and Reports, you can Weblogic server and install FMV with Forms and Reports builders.
For migration you can go through this link.

I'm thinking no because a large part of it depends upon how the 6 Forms were written.
You probably already have this:

Oracle Doc 207396.1 has some information too.

SSO and Forms/Reports Standalone Installation

Hi,
we have different Oracle AS as forms/reports standalone installations in our company.
SSO_FORMSID and GROUP_DN were configured during the OracleAS installation. So you have during installation to define OID parameters (host, port). But that input is only required within complete application server installation.
In standalon installation you cannot define OID setting.
But in formsConfig.properties and formsweb.cfg placeholder for SSO are available.
So it is possible to use standalone forms with SSO. And how can I do that.
I understand that I have to define SSO_FORMSID for application server and same ID I have to register in OID. But how?1
br Kay Basler

The SSO information is included in those files because they are standard files across all installation types. Without the full installation (Infrastructure and Middle Tier) you cannot use SSO.
Refer to the following for a list of all restrictions associated with the Forms/Reports Services installation:

How to configure Oracle forms/reports 10g to Oracle Database 10g

Dear All,
I have downloaded oracle Developer Suite 10g for microsoft Windows (CD1/CD2) from edelivery.oracle.com.
I have also downloaded Oracle 10g xe edition from oracle.com.
Both above software are on the same machine.
Now, I have creaated new database, created few tablespaces,tables,indexes,functions etc on it. SID_NAME=xe.
I want to configure both the software(connect them) so that i can generate some reports, create forms and applications(on the same machine not on network).
How do i do that?
Best Regards,

did you set tns_admin? do you know what it's for?
don't edit tnsnames.ora manually if you can help it.
you have 2 tnsnames.ora. one is from the xe install. the other is from the developer suite install.
what does the one for your developer suite look like?
if you used the the network config assistant in a straightforward way, then it should end up with an entry similar to what you have in your tnsnames.ora from your xe installation.
the netconfig assistant has a TEST step in it. did you try that? you might need to change the username/password when you test it.
the main thing here is the tnsnames.ora. the way it will be located is in a particular order. it will check in this order, more or less
1. in current working directory
2. TNS_ADMIN defined by the session
3. TNS_ADMIN defined as a global environment (in control panel)
4. TNS_ADMIN defined in registry
5. default location (network\admin directory).
so if your developer says it can't resolve the name, then it means it is not defined in the tnsnames.ora it used. you need to determine which tnsnames.ora file it's using, and is it configured correctly.
if you did not set tns_admin, check your E:\DevSuiteHome_1\NETWORK\ADMIN\tnsnames.ora
this is the one developer will use by default.
it should have an entry similar to the one from your xe install e.g.
XE =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = oraclelaptop.yic.edu.sa)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = XE)
then when you run forms/reports, you should connect as user/password@xe

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.
