Does Windows Forms Builder version need to match Solaris A/S version ?
We have Forms Builder 10.1.2.0.2 on our Windows client developer PCs. Recently we patched our Solaris Application Server to 10.1.2.2.0.
Do we need to patch our client Forms Builder in order to match versions, since we only design and save the forms in Windows ? (they get moved and compiled on Solaris)
Thanks,
Dave
The AS Forms version must be not lower than Forms Builder version. We develop some applications with Forms 6i (Client), and compile the same on AS 10.1.2.

Is Oracle Forms builder version 10.1.2.0.2 certified with Windows 7 ?
Hello
I need to change my old PC that is running 32 bit XP.
On this PC , I have installed Oracle Forms builder 10.1.2.0.2
I need to keep this version of forms as my customer is running the same version on linux.
I wish to upgrade my PC and install Windows7 (32 bit ) . Is Windows7 certified with Oracle Form builder 10.1.2.0.2?
Thanks
John Hall
Edited by: user2537956 on 20-May-2010 02:14Hello Sunny,
I just asked that same question in a service request a few days ago and got this answer from Oracle Support:
Question "Could you please also check if Forms/Reports Builder *10g* (10.1.2.3.0) are being certified for Windows 7 (32- and 64-bit)? As far as I know Forms/Reports Builder 10g are currently not certified for Win7 at all."
ODM Answer / Action Plan:
"According to product management and http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/10gR2/clientsod_forms10gR2.html , Windows 7 is certified as a client platform for 10.1.2.3, however production runtime deployments on Windows 7 is not supported for this version. You can build your Forms applications using Forms Builder on Windows 7 and test it, but when it is time to deploy it in a multi user environment, it needs to be deployed on a supported production deployment. So it should be ok to install iDS 10.1.2.3 on Windows 7 and develop your applications. The installation should be according to How to Install Developer Suite 10.1.2.3 on Windows Vista (Doc ID 559067.1). The note is for Vista, but the instructions apply for Windows 7 as well."
So I'd assume Windows 7 to be supported as well with Forms and Reports Builder 10.1.2.3.0.

What is forms builder version for R12 ? prob. for 6i forms ?
hi..guys..
Currently we have oracle apps..11.5.10-----> forms version 6i
Now, we are upgrading apps to R12...so all the custom forms which are in 6i needs to be migrated to forms 10g so they can be compatible with oracle EBS release 12.
So, I am opening forms which were created using 6i in form builder 10g. Then getting connected with the database created for R12...so it takes R12 library references...so at this time forms builder 10g is crashing......
I am using FORMS 32 BIT VERSION 9.0.4.0.19 (PRODUCTION)..Oracle Developer Suite 10g...to modify and compile 6i forms...so I can put them on R12 instance...
Problem is everytime I try to compile 6i form after opening it in 10g forms builder, it crashes ....so what is the best way to compile 6i forms to make them compatible with R12 ....?
thanks...Does this happen to all forms or certain ones only?
You need to open the forms in Form Builder 10g (Oracle Developer Suite 10g (10.1.2.0.2)), compile it, save it then upload it back to the server.

Japanese Forms Builder Version
Hi,
Originally oracle forms were developed using Japanese version of 6i forms builder in a Japanese version of Windows OS.
Can I open and modify those forms in English version of 6i Forms builder after setting the NLS_LANG parameter in Registry and default.env file.My OS supports the japanese characters(XP Professional).
After making changes at English version, will I be able to compile and deploy it back into Japanese version of Windows OS.
Please clarify. Thanks for the help.
Best Regardsyes, that will work - FormsBuilder is fully unicode enabled. - There is only one thing you need to take care: make sure your NLS_LANG character encoding supports japanese kanji characters or else you are going to lose code comments/captions/etc.
For example AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8/JA16SJIS/A16EUC are ok ... but AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8??? charactersets are not!

SCM and Forms Builder version control
Hi,
I would like to start using Oracle 10g SCM repository with Forms builder for version control. The idea would be that the forms developers do not use Repository Object Navigator.
I read from the instructions that Oracle9i Forms Developer requires the .fmb and other associated files to be located on an accessible disk, i.e. outside of the Oracle9i SCM repository. Thus to edit a .fmb file it must first be downloaded to a file system. That means that the developer needs to use RON. Is that really so? What is the reason for that?
When I was testing the version control functionality with Forms Builder I realized that the users cannot easily determine if a file is checked in or our unless they use RON or try to perform the action (i.e. check in or out). Is there any other solution for this?
Thanks,
TomiHi user574160
Subversion is seen as the natural successor of CVS, and so is a natural choice for many development sites out there.
Note you should have a look at the following Re: Configuration Management in Forms 6i regards Subversion locking to ensure the integrity of your binary forms files.
In turn the Subversion Book under section 3 Locking gives a good explanation of protecting binary files.
Hope this helps.

Why does Windows shows multiple versions of Firefox installed?
I am running Firefox 11.0 on Windows 7 home premium 64 bit OS. Firefox seems to be working fine.
When I check the list of installed programs in the Windows control panel I see two versions of Firefox listed (11.0 and 10.0.2). Is this normal? Does the installer not remove older versions when it does an update? Is is safe for me to uninstall the older version?
By the way, same situation for Thunderbird. It shows both 10.0.2 and 9.0.1!It sometimes happens that the updater doesn't remove the old entry in the installed programs section and thus shows multiple versions as installed. You usually only have the most recent version installed and will remove that version if you try to uninstall the older version because both point to the same installation folder. You can either remove that registry key yourself or use a registry cleaner.

XML Form Builder does not load
I am having the following problem, when executing the Form Builder tool under Content Management, it does not load and i get the following error message:
CONNECTION ERROR: couldn't read response code*
And sometimes the window gets freezed.
I have read some previous Threads regarding this issue but the solution did not work to me.
Someting really strange is happening because if i log to port 80 (http://...) it works, but when I log to port 50000 (https://...) it does not, and that error message pops up.
I have alredy run the Enviroment check Tool and results were OK in both urls, as follows:

Don't know what can be, so if anyone has any idea it would be very helpful.
Cheers,
Ivan MilkovicHello,
Immediately after opening the XML forms editor from the Content Manager page, you will get a link Start Environment Check Tool.... Click on that and proceed for a check. It will take some 5-10 mins based on your connection speed.If every thing is successful, clear the browser cache and restart the browser and open forms editor again. It will open the data schema and properties filed and project browser and all.
I was having this problem just now and i resolved it with the above steps.
My JRE version is 1.6 and portal is EP 7 SPS 21 patched.

Oracle forms builder - windows or unix?
Until recently we've been developing on Forms Builder 6i on our Sun/Solaris box. Now however, we want to move to developing using Forms 10g. We've already recompiled all our forms on the unix box, which has Application Server 10g and an 11g database. Do we stick to using the version of Form Builder on the unix box, or go with the Windows forms? I'm not keen on the unix version, never have been - it's rather clunky, but all our forms/libraries source code is on the server. What do people generally use? I've been ftp-ing files but this is no good longer term - is it best to go with a samba share?
Thanks Tony,
Yes we do still want to deploy on unix. Up until now we've been using unix source control to book modules in and out, as well as using the unix version of form builder. We don't have any other source control software so we'd still need to book in and out on unix. I'd still like to use the Windows forms builder, but we'd prefer to avoid having multiple copies of the source code on windows. -
Forms builder 6i starts in minimized window
Hello!
After a properly working installation of Forms builder I suddenly got Forms Builder (version 6.0.8.18.3 on win 2000) as a minimized window (just an icon on the taskbar/Quick Launch) when starting ifbld60.exe. Unable to maximize it to a window on desktop useful for my purpose. Why is it so ? The only changes on my PC are the frequently Windows Update from Microsoft
Tried to reinstall Forms from CD without success.
Runform, Reports and other programs are working OK.
What�s to do. Any ideas from anyone ?
Thanks BertilHi do you have access to metalink? note 351885.1 details how to resolve it.

Compiling fmb module in Form builder does not change the fmx file
Hi,
I am using Oracle Forms Builder version 10.1.2.0.2 To edit 10g2 forms.
In the last month, it happened twice that an fmb file I edited in the forms builder did not change the fmx aftrer compilation.
namely, when I opened the fmx file in the application, I didn't see the changes, but they were present in the fmb form opened in the Form Builder.
Usually when we have the fmx file open in the application, the form builder won't let me compile it - showing the following error:
FRM-30087: Unable to create form file
When this error happens and the changes are not reflected, this error message doesn't appear even though the fmx file is open in the application.
I tried deleting the fmx file, and then opening it in the application to see if there is another copy of it.
The application gave an error 40010 - can't read form.
When I recompiled the file, the fmb didn't show any changes either, even though the file was created again in the file system.
I could not find a way to consistently reproduce this problem.
Did you ever encounter such a problem?
I noticed the edit -> preferences -> general menu has the option to "save befor building".
Does it mean the Form Builder keeps a cached copy of the fmb in memory, and when this error happens it compiles the original file system fmb file rather than the cached memory copy with the changes?
Thanks,
Eyal Azran
Configuration Management Engineer - IsracardHey Craig,
Thank you for your response.
I verified the version of the forms on the Application Server and they are the same.
This problem is quite tricky to reproduce, it happens once every few months!
(we have about 10 developers, who are developing and testing on multiple servers - so far two of the servers showed this issue)
I've determined that the reason this happens is that:
1. The compiled fmx is vied in the application.
** for some reason, the frmweb.exe process on the server does not terminate properly **
2. The developer compiles the form again in Form Builder
3. The Form Builder does not detect that the form is open in the mal-terminated process
There usually is an error message here saying the fmx module is locked - this error happens because this message is not displayed.
I will attach an image of the process monitoring tool we use ( ProceXP ) showing the ghost process that locks the fmx module.
<edit>oops, I guess I can't attach the image- I can e-mail it if you'd like</edit>
If anyone has an idea for a solution, this will help immensely.
Eyal

Forms builder crashes when opening any pll
Hi,
I have gotten this problem that my forms builder crashes immediately when I try to open any pll file. (There is nothing wrong with the pll file - my colleagues can open these files with no problems on their computers). It crashes before the pll file is even remotely loaded - almost as if it encounters an error during the parsing of the pll file.
I have no problem opening and editing fmb files in my forms builder.
This problem has not always existed but it came all of a sudden one day and since its been impossible for me to open a pll file and its getting annoying :P
I run:
- Windows XP SP3
- Forms builder version info :

Oracle Tools Common Area Version 6.0.8.18.0
Oracle CORE Version 4.0.6.0.0 - Production
I tried deleting everything under D:\ORA6i where its installed and then reinstalling it - but the problem is still there.
Does anyone have an idea about what could be wrong - because I am clueless atm. - could it be some registry settings that somehow got changed maybe ?
Edited by: [email protected] on Sep 3, 2008 5:06 AMI have encountered various issues like this with Forms 6i over time and have tried numerous things to fix them - including complete uninstall of all Oracle products and reinstalls and the one thing I found to work best was to run a Registry Cleanup tool. I had the best success with Microsoft's RegClean.exe tool (originally released as a PowerTool), but it is getting harder to find now that Microsoft has desupported it and pulled it from their web site. There are a few places where you can still get it; www.cnet.com, www.zdnet.com, and www.majorgeeks.com just to name a few. Other Registry Tools will probably work fine as well, but this is the one I have history with. I did not have 100% success by cleaning the registry, but 50 to 75% of the time it fixed the issue without having to uninstall and reinstall Oracle Forms.
Disclaimer: Please exercise caution when doing anything with the Windows Registry. The smallest change could have serious effects. Always backup the registry or create a restore point with System Restore before you make any changes to the Registry!
Hope this helps.

Form Builder crashes while saving .fmb file when connected to db
Hi,
I am getting error The instruction at "0x679c352c" referenced memory at "0x0000001c". The memory could not be "read".
Forms version is 6.0.8.11.3 and database version is 10.2.0.3.0
I am doing the following steps:
1) Open .fmb file in forms builder
2) Connecting to database
3) Making some changes in form
4) Compiling (Ctrl+Shift+K) and generating form (Ctrl+t)
5) Saving form <--- Here I am getting the error and form crashes
If I do not connect to database then builder is allowing me to save the file
1) Open .fmb file in forms builder
2) Making some changes in form
3) Saving form (Successful)
I did some exercise just as a guess that may some part of the form is causing this error. I full expanded all components of the form i.e. blocks, canvases, triggers etc.
This exercise produced that 3 program units were giving same error while full expending those. I deleted those 3 program units and re-created them. Now it is not showing me this memory error while full expanding all program units. I can now fully expand my full form.
But I am still getting this error while saving the changes when I am connected to database.
Please help.

Desname parameter works fine in Report builder but fails in Forms builder
Hi,
I need some help with my current task. Here is my problem.
I am working on Oracle 10g. My reports and Forms builder version is 10.1.2.3.0.
My objective is to use Forms builder to call a report which will direct the output directly to the printer without preview.
First , in report builder , I use the Parameter Form builder and set Report parameter DESTYPE = PRINTER and the DESNAME automatically changes to PCL6 ( which is the network printer name I am using).
When I run the report , the output is directed to the printer and it works just fine.
But in Forms builder , when I call the same report, set the DESTYPE as Printer and DESNAME as 'PCL6' , it gives an error Invalid printer name 'PCL6' specified by parameter DESNAME.
I tried searching in this forum, it says the error is due to an invalid printer name specified in the DESNAME. But if my printer name is invalid, I wonder how the same printer name works well in Report builder?
My coding in Forms as below :
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY( repid, REPORT_DESTYPE,PRINTER);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY( repid, REPORT_DESNAME,'PCL6');
Appreciate if anyone can help. Thanks

ShivaHi Puppethead,
I have tried with your suggestions.
the following condition -- did not work
( (mgr_name = :manager name)
OR (mgr_name LIKE DECODE(:manager name, 'ALL', '%', NULL)))
but for the other condition ---
( (mgr_name = :manager name)
OR (mgr_name LIKE DECODE(nvl(:manager name, 'ALL'), 'ALL', '%', NULL)))
is wrong because, :manager name cud be null, when it is null, it takes 'ALL' i.e. '%' which shud not be the case.
if the user enters null, it has to display records with null only but with the above condition it takes '%'
The main issue which i dont understand is, the report works fine for the first time. for the second time, the report takes null values . why is it taking null values for the second time.

It is appearing as link. where as in my other environment the Text in proper HTML format.
(Link of News appearing in production) whereas in Dev/Qlty proper text with Heading/Font/Colour appears. Or are you only seeing errors when you run the environment check?

Did you try it on different clients or with different users? Is this a new installation or have you recently upgraded? Are all your components on the same SP level?
