Deploying existing application (forms and reports) over the web

Hi I do have the following environment:
1) Oracle 8.1.6.0.0 on HP-UX.
2) Application written using oracle forms6i and reports6i on NT (Client-Server environment)
I am looking to deploy this existing application over the web using 9iAS, sure I don't want to rewrite my application. I did that in the past using OAS 4.0.8 and forms server and reports server.
1)Does 9iAS support that, which one should I install the standard or the enterprise.
2)Do I still need forms server and reports server.
I stopped using the OAS because it had problems and the performance was not that good, I found CITRIX and Tarantella do better, performance wise.
3)Does 9iAS has improved that.
Any feedback regading these many questions is highly appreciated
Thanks
Khaled

Sounds like the ideal 9i As environment (although you might want to consider either upgrading or patching the database - 8.1.6.0.0 does have patches)
You'd be pleasantly surprised with the performance and stability improvements of 9iAS over OAS.
Deploying reports & forms over the web (pure web access, not terminal services like citrix) require some form of web server, reports server and forms server. I believe that 9i AS is totally compatible with the reports and forms developed in 6i tools, so there should be no rewrite at all.
If you have the time, strongly recommend you check it out.

How to deploy existing forms and reports on the web

Hi Guys,
I have 6i forms and reports within our environment, and we are running client/server architecture, by installing forms and reports runtime on each client PC's. We would like to get rid of this by deploying forms and reports on the web, without zero coding. Can any one suggest and guide me through the process with proper security mechanism enabled along with.
Thanks in advance,
Aji

Thanks for the update,
We have a develpment 10g AS environment setup made,
1) But we are really confused how to present the forms and reports.
We have around 250 forms and reports running on client/server architecture. All these forms/reports have been copied to a fileshare and access control is restricted by folder security.
2) How to deploy forms - entries within formsweb.cfg with Named Configuration sections.
3) How to deploy reports, as to were to copy the .rep files.
getting the following error
REP-110: Unable to open file 'Car_Readings.rep'.

There is a paper on forms and reports integration on the web in the Forms section of OTN.

[ANN] Run Oracle Forms and Reports on the Web for $5,000 only

A new time limited price promotion for customers looking to upgrade Oracle Forms to the Web is now offered.
Get a restricted license to use Oracle9iAS Forms Services and Oracle9iAS Reports Services only for $5,000 per CPU (or $100 per named user).
Or you can get 25% discount on the full Oracle9iAS Enterprise Edition.
Interested?
visit http://www.oracle.com/tools/deals for more details.

the first step to give only 9i form server and report server(or services, a buzz word) only is good. But the key issue to adopt the limited 9iAS is whether it must use Oracle LDAP SSO server, if so, then it will have trouble to buy it as it will force to buy full 9ias again.
E.G., the Chrysler corporate standard is to Websphere, then it prohibits our team to buy another set of similar app. server. Now we like the limited form/report server edition, but before we go ahead to apply for permission to buy, we must also answer if it will work with no Oracle LDAP SSO etc.
Will the 9.0.4 limited edition work with non-oracle LDAP/SSO ? Or generally, will 9.0.4 be open enough to work with other application server/infrastructure?

Running oracle forms and reports on the web

can any one help me out....
I have oracle 9i database as back end and oracle forms & reports 6i which was running on client server architecture. Now i want to deploy all my forms on web so that it runs on internet explorer . For all these things to happen what all upgradation i need to do.... . Do i need to upgrade my back end database and with what i have to replace my oracle forms 6i. pls tell in detail. I am using windows XP as my operating system and my disk space is 160GB and RAM is 1GB.

The process of upgrading Forms to the web can be found here: otn.oracle.com/formsupgrade.
You will also need to confirm the version you are upgrading to supports the database version - if you have support from Oracle you can check this out on metalink.oracle.com (and navigate to certifications).
Of course, the documentation is also a good place to start - otn.oracle.com/products/forms and navigate to documentation.

Form and report on the same page...

Hi,
I want to have a form and report on the same page... as soon as user enters the information and submit the form via button then the report should be able to display the addition...
may I know how to accomplish this...
Thanks in advance

Hi
Can you try like this
1.First create an empty page and add a html region and template as form region and add the necessary fields to insert into table
2. create a another region with type as "SQL Query" and template as report region and add the necessary fields for the reports.
Once u entered the details into form region and created process and insert into table and then automatically the report region query will fetch the recently added row and displays in the report.
Hopes this might helps you.
Thanks & Regards

Displaying report in .pdf format while Running oracle reports over the web

I am running a report over the web via IE. I am suing .pdf
format as the file type. The problem I am facing is that the
report comes out with a blank in acrobat reader if there are
just one or two records - i.e less thatn one pagefull. THe
reports displays output only when there ar more than one
pagefull of records.
Any explanation for this bezarre behavior and any suggestions?
I will very much appreciate your help.
Regards
Prasad.

in R12 I found 2 choice
1) when submitting requests (if available) you can set the output format by using the Options button (upon sompletion section):
layout --> format --> select format you need (RTF/HTML/EXCEL/PDF)
2) in the request form (view->request) selecr the report you want to reprint in the Tools menu select print/republish, in the html page that pop up select output format you want, number of copies =1 submit

Reports 3.0 - Drill Down Reports over the Web

Can anyone tell me how to code a button to run a drilldown
report over the Web ?
I have read about bookmarks, hyperlinks and hypertext and found
the on-line documentation to be rather unclear.
Thanks

Magoo is talking about a patch 23, and you are on 11. Maybe that's the difference?
You can also try to upgrade just the Oracle 8 client (I assume Developer 2000 uses the 8 client). We did that to resolve some issues for Developer 6i on a 9i database.
You need to get Oracle8 8.0.6.3.8 patch.

How to deploy the Oracle Forms and Reports 10g in Web?

Currently I am working in Oracle forms & Reports conversion project (6i to 10g).
As of now 6i forms working as a standalone application. After migrated it to 10g, I need to deploy the forms and reports in web.
Any one know how to deploy the Oracle forms and Reports in web?
Please help me out. Thanks in advance.

Hello Frank,
for development, you need to install Oracle Developer
Suite 10g. This includes Forms and Reports.this topic interests me too, because I've downloaded Developer Suite and Database (both for 10g) from Oracle website, installed them, but I couldn't connect to a database.
What should be done for me to create a database link and be able to connect locally, in my personal Desktop computer? (Not to a server)
Once it was told me here that I should download 10g Database - I did it, and installed it, but it didn't work. Later, some of my job partners said I should install them in a sequence - that is, 1st the Developer, and 2nd the Database. But it has failed too. And I don't know how to configure a database connection.
Best regards,

How to do a partial refresh of a form and report on the same page?

Hi all,
im trying to make a page where you have a report on top and when you click the link instead going to the form page, the form page is on the bottom of the report. lets say im trying to send an id from the report to the item below so that i could fetch the rest of the item. however when i pass,other items would still refer to this one as null.
if im not mistaken this could be done with submit,but i want it to be partial refresh..
i tried steps here but this only worked when the lower part is a also a report:
https://forums.oracle.com/thread/2345863
i also tried this,but this actually submits a page..
Grassroots Oracle: Apex Tutorial - Form & Report sharing the same page
would it be possible to get a form and report in one page as partial refresh?

If so, you need to create a dynamic action with a javascript action to set the id of the report row in the id form field, and a subsequent pl/sql action to fetch the record based on the id. You can use this record to set the other form field items.
For the example in the above link the code looks as follows.
the javascript action:
var empno = $(this.triggeringElement).find('td[headers="EMPNO"]').text()
$s('P26_EMPNO',empno)
the PL/SQL action:
declare
cursor c_emp is
select * from emp
where empno = :p26_EMPNO;
BEGIN
for r_emp in c_emp loop
APEX_UTIL.SET_SESSION_STATE('P26_ENAME',r_emp.ename);
APEX_UTIL.SET_SESSION_STATE('P26_JOB',r_emp.job);
APEX_UTIL.SET_SESSION_STATE('P26_MGR',r_emp.mgr);
APEX_UTIL.SET_SESSION_STATE('P26_HIREDATE',to_char(r_emp.hiredate,'dd-mon-yyyy'));
APEX_UTIL.SET_SESSION_STATE('P26_SAL',r_emp.sal);
APEX_UTIL.SET_SESSION_STATE('P26_COMM',r_emp.comm);
APEX_UTIL.SET_SESSION_STATE('P26_DEPTNO',r_emp.deptno);
APEX_UTIL.SET_SESSION_STATE('P26_ORDNO',r_emp.ordno);
end loop;
END;
Hi Vincent,
Yes! im looking for something similar. This looks interesting. I did look into apex_util.set_session_state yesterday but didnt know how to apply. perhaps i was doing it wrong.
Question though, so basically first use the javascript to send the EMPNO from top report to the EMPNO in the form fields below.
Then based on the EMPNO received in the form, do a loop to get the rest and put it into session. Correct?
if i'm not mistaken i did something similar,but when i tried to set session for the rest,it refers to to the p26_EMPNO still as null..does the javascript sets the id of report to the id of the form or does it just send over?
i'll try it out.
Thanks.
