  • Headstart Designer 10g Migration Guide?

    Is there a Headstart Designer 10g Migration Guide?
    We are migrating our forms application generated from Designer2K 2.1, Forms 5, Headstart 212 with repository in database Oracle 8 to the latest releases Designer 10g (10.1.2.0.2), Forms 10g (10.1.2.0.2) with repository in Database 10g R2 (10.2.0.2).
    If we follow the migration path for designer and the repository database to 6i then to 10g, recompile the object library and form templates, regenrerate our modules, then will it still work? Do we need to do anything to the Headstart Designer Template Package? Hope you can help with a road map.

    Hi Nathan,
    there are several possibilities for a migration path. It depends on the expected life-span of the application(s), wether or not you want to use new Headstart functionality, etc.
    A description of these possibilities can be found in the migration guide which is included in the Headstart 9i/10g documentation. Do you have the latest version of Headstart available?
    Because you currently use an older version of Headstart, a migration will take a bit more work than described in this documentation because Headstart code has changed. So you will have to replace Headstart function calls or create a wrapper library.
    Further, regeneration of (the more complex) Forms is not that simple as you will probably have to modify the lay-out. If you use client-side functionality (open MS Word/Excel, write to the local file system, etc), you will have to use Oracle's Webutil-package.
    So it can be done. But it will take some planning and programming. Succes.
    p.s. if you (temporarily) publish your e-mail address, i can provide you with some additional info.

  • Window Errors and Warning in this Transaction not shown

    We're using Designer 6.5.82.3.0.
    Business rules aren't generated according to CDM Ruleframe, no CAPI. But Table API/trigger logic.
    => Pre-Before-Insert-Row
    BEGIN
    if CDR_CPN.F_CPN_UNIQUE(:new.CODE)
    then
    -- a new code
    null;
    else
    -- code already exists
    QMS$ERRORS.SHOW_MESSAGE
    ('CDR-05000'
    ,:new.CODE);
    end if;
    END;
    When an business rule fails the window Errors and Warning in this Transaction with the error-message is not shown. Instead we get the message Transaction failed
    (when using sqlplus the same message appears, then running @messages.sql =>correct message)
    According to a previous discussion the ON-ERROR of the module component should be modified (author Bart van Ges 22 May 2002). And this works, the window Errors and Warning in this Transaction is shown with the correct message.
    Has anyone another solution, patch or any idea why the window doesn't appear without the modification?
    Cheers,
    Bob

    All,
    Since Headstart for 6.0 (patch 12) and Headstart for 6i, Headstart default only functions well in combination with CDM RuleFrame. If you want to deviate from this standard, the functionality in the libraries should be adapted for this purpose. There are several ways to do this:
    - show serverside errors in an error Alert window
    - show serverside errors in the RuleFrame transaction and errors window.
    Whatever approach you choose - in this thread several suggestions are being made - it is not documented in headstart how to do this. The Oracle Headstart group is not able at this moment to investigate time to workout the alternatives, though I will add an enhancement request to headstart to document these options in the headstart user guide.
    Two extra suggestions:
    - try to test your workaround as well as possible (try to raise errors from server, client, try to violate server constraints (pk, uk, fk, ck) and try to let serverside pl/sql fail.
    - if you do not make use of ruleframe, you might run into a problem if you try to commit in the serverside logic, in this case remove the calls in the template package (qms$even_form) to open and close the transaction (pre-commit and post-forms-commit trigger events).

  • Migration of forms and reports developed using Headstart  VERSION 3.4.1

    Hi,
    We have developed an application in forms 4.5 reports 2.0 based on repository 1.3.2 and Headstart
    Designer/2000 Template Package VERSION 3.4.1
    Now we want to migrate to Oracle 9i(web enabled)
    1)Is it possible to migrate only the forms and reports in 4,5 to 9i without the designer repository?Can the repository be left out?
    2)What about the templates and packages on the 2000 Headstart version.Is it necessary to migrate the same to 9i also?
    2)In case the repository has also to be migrated how do i go about migration to 9i??
    4)In case the headstart template/packages to be migrated how do i migrate to 9i?
    5)Where is the documentation available for headstart?
    Kindly help..

    Hi 23768 ( ;-) ),
    There is a whole wealth on information regarding upgrade/migration of headstart generated application systems.
    What you need is a licence on iDevelopment Accellerators and the Supplement Option (cso.oracle.com) to download this material.
    Contact your Oracle Consulting representative if you would like to know how to do this.

  • PVCS/Headstart revision substitution not working

    We've been following the instructions on p95 of the Headstart documentation, using a string of $Revision::xxxxxxxxxxx$ to get PVCS revision number substitution on our modules. This doesn't seem to be working correctly - sometimes the substitution takes place, sometimes it doesn't (in standard text files, not binary). We're using PVCS V6.5.
    There's nothing in the PVCS documentation to suggest that a revision string of anything except $Revision$ will work. Why does the Headstart documentation state otherwise? Does it refer to functionality that used to be available at an earlier release of PVCS? It also seems to be saying that using this string will prevent the corruption of binary files - the PVCS documentation clearly states that keyword substitution should never be used with binary, as corruption may result.

    Cheryl,
    I am not sure what you mean by sometimes the substitution takes places and sometimes it doesn't. The expansion of a keyword is depended of a setting in your configuration file (see file type tab on configure tab).
    You can enable/disable the expansion per file type extension (even using a wild card).
    Normally once you have enabled it for a fmb it should work for all fmb's. However it may not work for already checked-in fmb's: if you add a keyword later on it may not expand. You can use wild card here (undefined) but it takes a specific file type extention first. You have disabled it for fmb and enabled it for (undefined) then it will not expand.
    Please let us know if this solves your problem: verifying the keyword enabling/disabling per file type.
    In addition you mentioned the disrecommendation of PVCS/VM to use keywords in binary files. Expansion in binary files with the fixed lenght, as you do, has always worked in previous releases. It still works in 6.5 and 6.6 but pvcs/vm no longer supports it officially, what can I say?

  • Has anyone fixed the Headstart libraries for Forms 11 ?

    I have a 100% generated Designer - Forms application using the %65.pll headstart libraries - the so-called Headstart version 6.5i.
    Currently our production environment is running on Oracle Application Server 10.1.2. It works fine, however, because of several reasons (the underlying Oracle Portal environment is not working properly anymore on Internet Explorer 10) and continuous alerts that our customers may not use Java 6 and should upgrade to Java 7, we have to migrate to 11g.
    We have installed Fusion Middleware 11.1.1.6, upgraded Portal and recompiled all Forms modules and libraries. Also the Headstart libraries compiled ok. However, when we start a form we get the message that it has been created with an older version of Forms and it quits.
    The consequence is that i have to migrate the Forms as well with the tool frmplsqlconv. Sadly that fails on the Headstart libraries. For example these errors occur:
    CG$MESSAGE: The String CALL was found. If it is an occurrence of the Forms Built-In, It should be replaced with CALL_FORM.
    CG$_SHOW_KEYS: MENU_SHOW_KEYS changed to SHOW_KEYS
    CG$_PREVIOUS_MENU: The PREVIOUS_MENU Built-in is obsolete and will not compile.
    CG$_HELP: The MENU_HELP Built-in is obsolete and will not compile.
    CG$_EXIT: The EXIT_MENU Built-in is obsolete and will not compile.
    CGNV$FIRST_NAV_ITEM: BREAK changed to DEBUG.SUSPEND
    Does anyone have Headstart libraries with fixes for these errors?

    Hello Mark,
    the problem has been fixed...
    1) I tried to migrate the forms to 11g, but that can not be done with headstart... The fmb/pll files should be kept on 10g.
    2) The migration documentation is not complete: webutil has been installed completely (in other words, webutil is not migrated)
    So, steps are:
    1) Install webutil
    2) Recompile all libraries (including headstart and webutil)
    3) Recompile all menus
    4) Recompile all forms
    Then the Forms application works again.
    Java 7 update 21 is very dramatic. The "vendor" work-around can not be used anymore, like with previous Java 7 versions... It is unbelievable how amateuristic Oracle deals with Java. For me, Java in the client is dead as long as Oracle has the controls. So, the end of Forms is very near. If you are also looking for alternatives, check theformspider.com.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Oracle 9i WEB-forms, with or without Headstart?

    We have some applications that are created with Designer 2.1.2 and Headstart 2.1.2 and we are about to migrate these to Oracle9i Web Forms and here are my questions:
    1) What are the advantages/disadvantages if we continue to use Headstart?
    2) What do we need to get Headstart working together with Oracle 9i Web Forms?
    3) Where do we order new software/license for "Headstart for 9i"?
    4) Are there any way we can get support on Headstart except the forum on OTN?
    5) Briefly explained, if we remove Headstart and replace it with own-developed code, what would our main tasks/problems be?
    6) Are there any functionality we cannot have if we remove Headstart from our applications?

    1) What are the advantages/disadvantages if we continue to use Headstart?
    The advantages would be more or less the same as for Headstart 2.1.2, except for the fact that you can make use of new features, and it runs on the web too! A 'disadvantage' would be that only web forms is supported out of the box (not client/server) and you need to set up an application server. Of course you need to migrate, which sometimes can be a difficult task. However, this depends on things like customizations on top of Headstart, typical client/server features that have been used and that cannot be migrated to web forms etc. A lot of this has been documented in the Headstart Migration Guide.
    2) What do we need to get Headstart working together with Oracle 9i Web Forms?
    We build Headstart against Designer 9i (+ Developer 9i that comes with it). At this point we still are working on Headstart for Designer 9i.
    3) Where do we order new software/license for "Headstart for 9i"?
    Contact your Oracle Consulting Manager, or call Oracle and ask for Mike Kruijsdijk.
    4) Are there any way we can get support on Headstart except the forum on OTN?
    You can hire consultancy from us or one of our partners.
    5) Briefly explained, if we remove Headstart and replace it with own-developed code, what would our main tasks/problems be?
    To mention some of them:
    - It probably would take man-years to build a template package with the same functionality
    - Headstart code at some points deals with Forms bugs, which you now have to deal with yourself
    - You have no support any more (upgrades) and need to do upgrades for new versions of Designer yourself. I've seen more than one customer that are years behind with upgrading to new versions of Designer, because of this.
    And many more. You really should investigate this thouroughly before you start on this. It would not surprise me if you come to the conclusion you might as well rebuild your applications completely.
    6) Are there any functionality we cannot have if we remove Headstart from our applications?
    You can have anything you like, as long as you build it yourself. But for practical reasons I suppose you will not have RuleFrame for example.
    As long as you don't start building new applications with it, the code practically is yours, so you might consider to do the upgrade of Headstart yourself. Of course support will be more difficult, but you still can hire consultancy.

  • Production release process using headstart.

    Hello,
    I am completley new to headstart. I have been given a new project to work on which has forms 9i, desginer 9i, oracle 9i AS and headstart 6.5.3.0 for 9i.
    I would like to know how do I go about using headstart to generate forms. Specifically, I would like to know how do I develop using headstart and then deploy them to test and production environment. Do I need to install headstart( Middle tier and database objects ) in my production setup ?
    I would highly appreciate if anybody can me a brief overview of development and production release process using headstart.
    Many thanks,

    Hi,
    The headstart user guide probably has all the info you need. Specifically Part VI, Deploying your Applications, is just what you're looking for. You can find the user guide (along with other useful documentation in the <hsd65_home>\docs directory.

  • Is Headstart 6i compatible with all Designer 6i versions? Where to download?

    We consider upgrading from Designer 6.0 / Headstart patch 12.4
    to Designer 6i / Headstart 6i, as we are now migrating from a
    7.3.4 db to 8.1.7 and from Win98 to Win2000.
    I have seen documentation on migration issues from Designer 6.0
    to 6i rel.2, and from Headstart to patch 13. But I understand
    that with introduction of Headstart 6i, patch 13 is no longer
    supported.
    1. I assume that Headstart 6i could work with all Des.6i-
    versions, is that right?
    2. I have found the place to download patch 13, but where can I
    download Headstart 6i ???

    Headstart 6i is compatible with all Designer 6i versions.
    However, we have found one odd quirk with Headstart 6i and Forms
    6i versions 6.0.13 and higher.
    Description ===========
    1. When using a multi-select LOV (which is displayed in a modal
    dialog window), you select the records you want, press OK, and
    the application exits.
    2. When using a shuttle control to move records from left to
    right or vice versa, you select the records you want, press '>'
    to move them, and the application exits. This occurs in Forms
    6.0.8.13.0 and higher. It did NOT occur in prior releases. This
    is some kind of forms bug.
    Workaround ==========
    For some reason the call to procedure 'renumber' in
    qms$msel.process_records in qmslib65.pll causes the application
    to exit. If you copy the code from renumber to all the places
    from which it is called, it works fine.

  • Designer and Headstart 6 upgrade to 6i questions

    One of my customer is using Developer 6i, Designer 6.0 and
    Headstart 6.0
    He is considering upgrading to Designer 6i and possibly
    Headstart 6i
    New features of Designer 6i are well documented on technet but
    what about Headstart 6i?
    What are the new features?
    Is it worth it or can you keep on using Headstart 6 with
    Designer 6i?
    My customer was quoted roughly $2500 per upgrade.
    He is not ready to pay this amount of money without first
    knowing exactly what he'll get, obviously.
    From what I have read on technet, Headstart 6i is now part of a
    broader tool called iDevelopment Accelerators.
    Yet, what does Headstart 6i offer that Headstart 6 does not?
    And do you HAVE to upgrade to Headstart 6i if you upgrade to
    Designer 6i?
    All comments welcome,

  • Headstart Designer 6i. Install into Production Environment as Client/Server

    Hi,
    We are using designer 6i with headstart installed. We already have it installed in one 8i database running on an NT server but now we need to deploy it in a different 8i database. The associated documentation relates to a web server enviroment. Can you provide the steps or documentation to install this on a client server environment?
    Thanks

    Paul,
    You're right.. You shouldn't ;-D But a good hack is hard to resist. Therefore, create the following view:
    create or replace view my$version as select replace(banner,'Personal ') banner from sys.v_$version;
    Now, create a synonym named v$version to this view.
    The neatest way to do this is to create the view my$version view in your HST schema, and create a grant and a private synonym to this view in the schema's that you use to run the Forms:
    create synonym v$version for <HST_OWNER>.my$version
    But if you're bold enough you could also remove the existing public synonym v$version (which points to sys.v_$version), install the my$version view in the SYS schema and create a new public synonym:
    create public synonym v$version for my$version;
    And remember, you never heard this from me ;-D
    Kind regards,
    Peter
