Connecting database 11g to Oracle forms 6i.

Hi guys,
my previous question was:
"Hi guys,
basically, i am using the "run sql command line" from "Get Started With Oracle Database 11g Express Edition ". I have created a database within the command line and now am trying to open it Oracle forms 6i. I have set up the forms in the form builder but when i hit the green traffic light it asks me to log in. I type "system" for the username and then my password. (Not quite sure what the database bit should be. Someone told me XE). Anyway, apparently, you need to connect the sql command line or the sql database to oracle forms 6i. Can someone please tell me how i can link the database from the command line to oracle froms so i am able to log in. If there is anything technical such as "check a port number" or anything like that, can you tell me where i can locate it.
Thanks in advance "
Someone replied with:
irst you have to configure TNSNAMES.ORA file
copy the tns configuration from database to forms tns file.
then create a user in data base and give connect and create access and create any table and then try to connect from forms.
Can someone please tell me where to look for TNSNAMES.ORA file? where it can usuallly be located? or even what it should look like? i found one but i think it is the one for the forms but non for the database.
Thanks

TNSNAMES.ORA File Location
for Forms 6
C:\ORANT\NET80\ADMIN
for forms 10g
E:\DevSuiteHome_1\NETWORK\ADMIN
for database 11g
D:\oracle11g\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\NETWORK\ADMIN
note that oracle database 11g does't have compatibility to connect with forms 6 version.
forms 6 version is limited upto 10g database versions.

Question about Oracle Database 11g: Program with PL/SQL

Hello,
I've read that:
This course is a combination of Oracle Database 11g: PL/SQL Fundamentals and Oracle Database 11g: Develop PL/SQL Program Units courses.
In order to preparing for this exam, i should read the student guide, so there are 4 pdf files. One is Oracle Database 11g: PL/SQL Fundamentals, and the other 3 are regarding to Oracle Database 11g: Develop PL/SQL Program Units (volume I, II and III). My question is, regarding to this last one (Oracle Database 11g: Develop PL/SQL Program Units), which volume should i read? I saw that volume I has 400+ pages, and the IIIrd ~80.
Which document should i read? What's the difference between them?
Thanks!

Passing the exam and becoming certified are not a matter of simply reading a book or taking a training class. While books and classroom materials as well as in-class training are all important steps in preparing for an exam, experience and research are just as important. I cannot tell you that there are 53 questions on the exam and every single question maps directly back to page 13, paragraph 3 in XX book. However, If you have the classroom material, and you have the list of exam topics, you should be able to find most of the information you need. In some cases, if you are not completely familiar with a specific topic, or you don't feel like the information in the book gives you all the information you need, you may need to do a little additional research. This is all part of preparing for an exam. This process is what makes you successful as a certified professional.
Your focus seems to be solely on the course materials that you have and what volumes and chapters you should read. I'm trying to give you a different perspective - preparing for an exam is not necessarily about taking one course or reading one book and being ready. You need to review the exam topics and be sure that you are familiar with each topic.

Migrating Access Database to Web WITH FORMS (not just backend)

How difficult would this be, what steps would be involved and is Dreamweaver capable of helping?
The server uses IIS and ASP so compatibility should be fine with access.
I have enough of a programming history to replace vbasic code with ASP code if I read about the language, but would like to do the least amount of work required.

Lets just say that Access and Oracle are completly different animals and leave it at that. What I believe you need to do is:
1. Create an Oracle Database using the Database Creation Assistant. (Keep all the Defaults, and keep track of any passwords that are used.
2. Using the System (DBA) account, crate a user to hold the Access Schema (Never create objects in the SYS account and you shouldn't do that with the SYSTEM account either.
3. Run the Access Migration Workbench.

Slow Problems with Oracle Forms 10g and Oracle Database 11g

Hi, I wonder if there is a compatibility problem between Version 10.1.2.0.2 32 Oracle Forms and Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production. This is because my application runs correctly on a version of Oracle Database 10g, and when we migrated the database to an Oracle Database 11g, slowness problems came out.
Thanks.

We have the same issue happening with our custom forms and with some of the standard forms in EBSO. So far we have found that the form invoking a view causes ridiculous slowness in opening the form (40 mins). Using a table access has shortened the open time significantly. At this time Oracle DBAs at OOD have no clear idea why it is happening.
we are on 11.1 database with 11.5 EBSO

NLS_LANG value that suits Forms 10G and Database 11G wanted !

I can't believe how bad is to install Oracle Database and Oracle Forms on the same Windows Vista machine!
I had a problem in Oracle Forms 10g that prevents many items in the Form Builder menu from appearing in English Language and also prevents anything in the web-based forms runtime from appearing in English. I searched the forum for a solution and found that I have to set a NLS_LANG value in the environment variables equal to the following: AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1256.
I did this and my Forms builder looked great. Everything in english with no problems. But now what ?! The Oracle Database itself refused to connect from all clients! It refused to connect from Forms Builder, SQL Deeveloper, and even from SQL PLUS! The error given is: ORA-12705: Cannot access NLS data files or invalid environment specified.
It seems that what I exactly need is a NLS_LANG value that will satisfy both Oracle Forms 10G and Oracle Database 11G that both are installed on the same Vista machine. The question is: What could this NLS_LANG value be?!
Thank you in advance

If you have connected to the database on which the form is based, prior to running the form from the Builder, the uname and password will automatically be passed in at startup and you will not be prompted.
If you would rather hard code a username and password, enter it in formsweb.cfg. For example:
SYNTAX:
userid=<USERNAME>/<PASSWORD>@<DB NAME>
EXAMPLE:
userid=scott/tiger@orcl
Remember that this change will only impact runtime and have no effect on the Builder.

Need help with Forms 6 on 11g

Hello all,
I wonder if anyone has come across this issue. I'll try to explain this as best as I can. We just migrated/upgraded our database from a SUSe9 (32 bit) Oracle 9.2.0.7 configuration to a Redhat 5.3 64 bit. We were running Oracle Forms 6 on certain desktops which connected fine against our version 9 databse. I am now experiencing the following error message after I enter my user ID, password and Database: ORA-02248: Invalid option for ALTER SESSION. Now, I may be facing the issue of an outdated forms application trying to interface with 11g. I heard this version 6 did work on Oracle 10g, but some folks may be having issues on 11g, like myself. Any input or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Rob

As Jan Carlin noted, it is not a certified combination (using 6i against 11g) and I hope you understand what the consequences are if you are using a non-certified combination in a production environment.
But, if you really really want to use 6i(with ps 18) against the 11g database server, the answer is YES it is working with the following workaround. I believe I am the first one found and reported the issue on OTN when I was testing our 6i and 10gR2 forms application against the 11g database server. The issue is also applicable to 10gR2 forms against 11g database as well as 6i forms.
Here is the workaround:
==============================================================
Oracle 11g database has a new parameter
SEC_CASE_SENSITIVE_LOGON (case sensitive password enabled for logon) - default is
TRUE. Forms built-in "OPEN_FORM (...SESSION)" uses password in capital letters by
default. There are two workarounds that solves this problem with Forms agains 11g
database server. Either use the Oracle sqlplus command (login as system): alter user <your OraUser>
identified by YOUR_PASSWORD (use your own Oracle user name and password - be careful to use capital
letters for the password) or set the SEC_CASE_SENSITIVE_LOGON database parameter to
FALSE (do not forget to change the parameter for the spfile as for the current session). This
parameter can be changed by using the Oracle Enterprise Manager GUI (refer to your Oracle
database server documentation for details).
Hope this proves useful.

Oracle Database 11g Administrator or Oracle PL/SQL and Forms Developer?

Hi,
I am thinking about doing an Oracle certification course- Oracle Database 11g Administrator or Oracle PL/SQL and Forms Developer.
Oracle Database 11g OCP and OCM certification requires 3 mandatory training courses to be completed that costs between $1900 and $3250/each. Oracle PL/SQL certication doesn't require any mandatory training course.
Which one of these would be a good choice? Please advise.
Thank you,
Tracy

Regardless of which path you want to take, in order to get the OCP certification in either the DBA or PL/SQL developer track, you must first obtain the respective OCA certification for that track. I'm assuming that since you are still undecided in which path to take that you haven't started working on either yet. If you look at the pages for the OCA DBA and OCA PL/SQL Developer certs and what is required for each, you'll see that the first block of tests for either certification (the SQL based exams) has the same options (1Z0-007, 1Z0-047, 1Z0-051) and passing one of those SQL based exams gives credit towards obtaining both OCA certifications. That might be a good place to start.
Doing one of these tests first might give you some extra time to decide which track you want to pursue. But as Justin said, it really depends on what you do (or plan on doing) in your career as to which path might be more beneficial for you.
As for the OCM level stuff, I wouldn't even think about it until you get the OCP. One step at a time... Same with OCP before OCA. That being said, my suggestions are just that, suggestions. You're free to take any exams/courses in any order, but you won't be able to obtain the certs until you have completed the requirements for each.

Forms 6i don't connect to Oracle Database 11g.

Hi people, I'm having a great problem, first I have a old server runing Red Hat with oracle 10g XE, this oracle XE is almost full, so I need to install Oracle Database 11g XE to get more space in another server, this another server is runing windows server 2003, I did it tow time in tow diferent server, a restore for migration is all right, the problem is when I try to connect forms6i to the database 11g XE, forms only closed without no error message...
Some one has some help?
Regards,

Also take a peek at some of the compatibility settings within 11g XE. You can get it to act like 10g XE regarding password caps vs lower case and such. We've been able to get a client/server forms/reports app (patch 18) to connect to and run just fine to 11g XE.

#==============================================================
The I update all of my PC's tnsnames.ora like above string,but it always not work
somebody help me,thanks!!

Ronald,
I was able to connect to a database with Forms 11g by adding an Environment variable TNS_ADMIN and pointing this to the directory where the sqlnet.ora and tnsnames.ora files are located. I was unable to find a Net Configuration Assistant in Forms 11g and placing a copy of .ora files in the /%11G HOME/NETWORK/ADMIN didn't work either. Only after I added the environment variable was I able to connect.
There might be a "More Appropriate" solution, but this is what worked for me. We are just now testing 11g, but are still developing with 10g R2.
Hope this helps,
Craig B-)
If someone's response is helpful or correct, please mark it accordingly.

Does CHAR data type work with Forms 11g

We have an application in Forms 11g (32bit - version 11.1.2.0.0). DB is a Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production.
When our Forms calls a stored procedure which has parameters defined using column name type (i.e. like p_customer_code customers.code%TYPE ) and if the column data type is CHAR we get a run time error when executing the package (ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error string).
When we change the data type of the tables column to varchar2, it works??
Problem is we have dozens of tables with CHAR data type columns and we can't do all the changes manually. For one thing, if they are part of a primary or unique key or even foreign key, we can't change the data type of the column without dropping the constraint.
What is the solution to this pls??

When our Forms calls a stored procedure which has parameters defined using column name type (i.e. like p_customer_code customers.code%TYPE ) and if the column data type is CHAR we get a run time error when executing the package (ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error string).this might also be related to compile settings, check your NLS settings (NLS_LANG, NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS) both times when you compile forms AND your stored procedures.
As for the CHAR datatype: CHAR internally is treated like a blank padded varchar:
http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=100:11:0::::P11_QUESTION_ID:1542606219593
Speaking of that it might be time to use varchar2 instead your char columns. You'd have to drop and recreate your constraints, but with the help of the data dictionary (+user_tables+, user_tab_cols, user_cons_columns, user_constraints) and dbms_metadata this shouldn't be that hard.
Also you'd of course need to recompile all your forms after you are finished, but I guess you are aware of that ;)
cheers
