Doubt with Windows and Oracle Forms 10G and 11g

Hi
I have some doubts in installing Oracle Client on Windows.
a)Can we install Oracle Forms 10g and Reports 10g client on Windows 7?
b)Can we install Oracle Forms 11g and Reports 11g client on Windows XP?
c)If we have an Oracle Forms 11g and Reports 11g, can it connect to a 10g Server?
d)If we have an Oracle Forms 10g and Reports 10g Client, can it connect to an 11g Server?
Please, Can any one help me in this????

a)yes it can be installed on win7, may have some issues on 64bit systems but they're solvable
b)11g had some problems with windows 2000, but didn't see mention of any problems on XP
c)if you mean a database server then yes - i managed to connect 11g to an 8i database, so v10 should not be a problem. If you mean a forms/reports server..well newer forms/reports builder might not want to run old forms/reports and vice versa, but I don't see the point of operating on the same files from different versions. You can still load old form/report source files with a newer builder and recompile them to run on the new server.
d) the "client" is effectively your web browser with a java plugin, unless I misunderstood your question. What version was a form/report compiled with should not be an issue.

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

Oracle Forms 10G and Java 7 ?

So, as of 13 February 2013 (https://blogs.oracle.com/java/entry/end_of_public_updates_for) there will be no more updates for Java 6. So does that mean that Oracle Forms 10g (which as far as I know only supports Java 6) applications will have to upgraded to Forms 11g to keep up with the Java updates? So if you are running Forms 10g on OAS (Oracle Application Server) does that mean also an upgrade from OAS to Weblogic?

Looks like there may be an update to fix this issue:
Patch 14825718
Description      ORACLE FORMS BUNDLE PATCH 10.1.2.3.2
Product      Developer Forms
Release      iAS 10.1.2.3
Last Updated      07-JAN-2013
From the README for 14825718
# 11782681 - APPS6 FORMS DO NOT LAUNCH WITH BETA JRE 1.7I found the above information starting here:
Re: Java 1.6 and 1.7 on same computer, which references this: FRM-92095: Oracle Jnitiator version too low
Here's a workaround which is supposed to work without installing the patch, but I haven't had time to try it:
The "Frm-92095" link above also mentions the -Djava.vendor fix but doesn't show the following steps.
After installing Java 7, open file manager and go to the directory below, double-click on this file:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin\javacpl.exeThis opens a "Java Control Panel" window.
Click the Java tab, then the View... button.
This should open a Java Runtime Environment Settings window with two tabs: User and System.
On each tab, under Runtime Parameters, enter:
-Djava.vendor="Sun Microsystems Inc."The place I saw these instructions claim it works in IE9, Firefox 18.0.2, and Chrome 24.0.1312.57
I have not had time to try yet.

OpenScript and Oracle forms 10g

Well, have I had fun today.
Trying to record a functional test script with Oracle forms. It's been a long day, and I have had enough. To cut a very,very,very long story short here is the output from the Java console once I got the 10g forms demo working with IE7.

OpenScript server port is 44444
Now then points to note:
1) Openscript does not ship with the complete forms jars. Hence the download failure from the server (I think?).
2) The NoClassDefFoundError java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: oracle/apps/fnd/ui/ChoiceBox makes sure the app does not appear (although outside of Openscript everything is cool!!). After an age, I found that this particular class is located is EBS11i_CrackedClass.jar which is a jar file in one of the lib directories of Openscript. On my install G:\oracleATS9\OpenScript\openscript_configuration\org.eclipse.osgi\bundles\49\1\.cp\lib\formsClient\EBS11i_CrackedClass.jar to be precise.
Question: Does this file need to be referenced by the app config?? I'm sure I'm very close to getting this working but ClassNotFoundErrors do not help.
Any input woudl be GREATLY appreciated.
Regards
Wayne.

Who's a clever boy then :)
Okay, so the way I solved this was
1) Take the frmall_jinit.jar and extract the contents which in my install contained another jar file called forms.jar.
I then ran jar cvf forms.jar to extract the contents to a directory called oracle (first part of the package name).
I them ran the same for all the jars list above which extracted the classes into the oracle directory.
I then ran jar cvf frmall_jinit.jar .\oracle
Which (obviously) creates a new jar file with all classes. I then copied this to the g:\oracle\devsuitehome\forms\java directory.
I then ran openscript and and recorded a simple interaction with one of the form demos. (With Jinitiator set to open java console) and I got this output:

Question: I did not think you can have a jar file which contains other jar files....Openscript could not resolve the classes properly. Are nested jar's supported in Java??

The report server is running as the report can be run via URL in the brower. However, it prompts out the error when it is called by oracle form using the run_report_object.

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.

How to connect oracle forms 10g with oracle 10g express database?

Hi all,
I have downloaded and installed oracle forms 10g and oracle database 10g express, when I open net configuration assistant to test local net service, I tested the default service (EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA) BUT THE RESULT IS "ora-28547 connection to server failed probable oracle net admin error"
How can I solve this issue?
My tnsname.ora is located in c:\DevSuiteHome\network\admin\tnsnames.ora, and its contents is:

Edited by: user10228498 on Jan 21, 2011 11:37 PM

I copied the contents of C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\NETWORK\ADMIN\tnsnames.ora and appended it to C:\DevSuiteHome\NETWORK\ADMIN\tnsnames.ora
and tried net configuration management to test local net service, the test was ok, thus the first problem resolved.
but the login problem in forms developer still exist and it claims that: ora-12154 tns could not resolve the connect identifier specified.
any ideas?

Cannot connect to database using Oracle Forms 10g

hi,
I had installed Oracle 10g database and Oracle Forms 10g on Windows Vista Home Basic. However, I was unable to connect to
the database in Oracle Form using scott/scott for database "orcl", with the following error message:
ORA-00604: error occured at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-01009: missing mandatory parameter
However, I could access to the database using this set of username and password. Am I missing something? Thanks.

Hi,
After a successful installation of forms 10g in vista, I'm about to run OPatch Universal Installer for the patch 7047034
in order to fix the form bugs. However, I cannot run the command "opatch apply C:\oracle_form\Patch26_Rel_10105\7047034"
with the error "The Oracle Home c:\devsuitehome_1 is not registered with the Central Inventory.". Then I try to create a
oraInst.loc file, but not much change still. The situation is that oracle 10g is installed before oracle developer suite
10g, and when I try to set oracle_home to oracle 10g's path ("C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1") and run "opatch lsinventory",
it returns the correct result; when oracle developer suite 10g's path ("c:\devsuitehome_1") is set as the oracle_home,
the same command would return a different result as "LsInventory: OPatch Exception while accessing O2O".
I've verified through Oracle Universal Installer that the Central Inventory has included both as oracle_home (oracle 10g
and oracle developer suite 10g). I'm very confused now, though it seems that the problem could be solved by registering the
Central Inventory with oraacle developer suite 10g's path. Thanks.

Setup FORMS_PATH for Oracle Forms 10g in windows7

Hi,
Please kindly advise the regedit path to set the FORMS_PATH variable at windows for Oracle Forms 10g?
Should it be HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > ORACLE?
If yes, is it the unique path? since I cannot create folder for 'ORACLE'.
Thanks,
CY

If you installed the product following the instructions found in MOS Note 559067.1 the registry key will have already been created for you. It will be a sub to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Oracle\<???>
Find this in your system and look at the contents of each key below "Oracle". It should be obvious which one belongs to Forms as there will be numerous FORMS_xxxxx entries there.

What changes should i make to overcome this problem.

"ora-12154 tns could not resolve the connect identifier specified"The problem is local to the Forms Home, probably in tnsnames.ora (seems that there are tabs in IMS entry name). Carefully check it.$ oerr ora 12154
12154, 00000, "TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified"
// *Cause: A connection to a database or other service was requested using
// a connect identifier, and the connect identifier specified could not
// be resolved into a connect descriptor using one of the naming methods
// configured. For example, if the type of connect identifier used was a
// net service name then the net service name could not be found in a
// naming method repository, or the repository could not be
// located or reached.
// *Action:
//   - If you are using local naming (TNSNAMES.ORA file):
//      - Make sure that "TNSNAMES" is listed as one of the values of the
//        NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH parameter in the Oracle Net profile
//        (SQLNET.ORA)
//      - Verify that a TNSNAMES.ORA file exists and is in the proper
//        directory and is accessible.
//      - Check that the net service name used as the connect identifier
//        exists in the TNSNAMES.ORA file.
//      - Make sure there are no syntax errors anywhere in the TNSNAMES.ORA
//        file. Look for unmatched parentheses or stray characters. Errors
//        in a TNSNAMES.ORA file may make it unusable.
//   - If you are using directory naming:
//      - Verify that "LDAP" is listed as one of the values of the
//        NAMES.DIRETORY_PATH parameter in the Oracle Net profile
//        (SQLNET.ORA).
//      - Verify that the LDAP directory server is up and that it is
//        accessible.
//      - Verify that the net service name or database name used as the
//        connect identifier is configured in the directory.
//      - Verify that the default context being used is correct by
//        specifying a fully qualified net service name or a full LDAP DN
//        as the connect identifier
//   - If you are using easy connect naming:
//      - Verify that "EZCONNECT" is listed as one of the values of the
//        NAMES.DIRETORY_PATH parameter in the Oracle Net profile
//        (SQLNET.ORA).
//      - Make sure the host, port and service name specified
//        are correct.
//      - Try enclosing the connect identifier in quote marks.
//   See the Oracle Net Services Administrators Guide or the Oracle
//   operating system specific guide for more information on naming.
