Hi expert:
I am urgent to know whether

Thanks in advance

Hey Frank, how would you do this redirect? Do you have any links or documentation that can help on this redirection...
Thanks.
Hi,
no, there is no way to do this. However, you can
redirect requests fr Oracle Forms 6i through OracleAs
10g to OracleAs 9i (with Forms 6i). Given that Forms
6i is at the end if its support cycle, I suggest
considering to upgrade

  • Convert Forms from NT to Sun Solaris

    Can Any Body help me.
    I Already have forms on NT, can i convert my forms to Sun Solaris system without full development again.
    Thanks Alot for helping me

    Move the .FMB file to sun solaris and compile it there to get the .FMX in sun.
    Remember you should have sun solaris version of forms to compile the forms in that platform.
    Code changes are not necessary provided you have no platform specific (NT) code written in your application.

  • Form Builder 6.0.8 (Solaris) Keyboard Shortcut Keys

    I am having no luck getting the keyboard shortcut keys to work inside Form Builder (e.g. Ctrl+j for connect)
    or during run time (e.g. Alt+11 for Execute Query).

    Roar,
    the order of blocks does only influence the navigation but not the visibility. However, if the button bar is on a canvas that doesn't show if the focus isn't in it then having teh button block on top makes sure the focus is set there. Are the push bottons on a separate canvas or are they on the same canvas as your data ? If not, then how do you ensure that the stacked canvas gets displayed ? Anyway, running the Form from teh builder uses teh same client/server runtime that is used when running your application stand alone. So it must be something within teh navigation (I am guessing).

  • Testing Forms Via IDS on Solaris

    I can't figure out how to test a form created in 9iDS on Solaris without having to move it to our 9ias server. I have started the OC4J component in 9iDS, but what url do I use on my browser on my client machine to access it?

    Thanks Shay, but it took a lot more than that. I finally found note #211261.1, which had the info I needed. It took adding the NPX_PLUGIN_PATH to the f90desm executable, and then setting the location of Netscape via the Edit/Preferences buttons in the tool itself. While this worked on Solaris, the note explained that it doesn't work on Linux without some additional steps.
    Thanks for replying.

  • Which version of Motif and X11 on Solaris 8

    Would anyone know how to find the version number for X11 and Motif on Solaris 8?
    I am looking for a SUN/UNIX command that confirms that Solaris 8 is using X11R6.4.
    uname -a reveals:
    SunOS sunstro02 5.8 ....... SUNW, Ultra-5_10
    Mazikati

    The version of X11 on Solaris 8 is X11R6.4. I don't know where that information is embedded in
    the OS, but it is listed in the "What's New in the Solaris 8 Operating Environment" which
    can be found on docs.sun.com.
    The Motif version is based on The Open Group's version 2.1.

  • New to Solaris...need help with netra T1

    I want to learn a form of Unix and thought Solaris would be a good place to start. I purchased a netra T1 in a package deal with some other equipment and am having a learning experience. The box came with Solaris 9, currently running 5.8. I can get the LOM interface up...I can get to the lom> prompt and the $ prompt but can't get any commands suggested by the install manual to work. The Netra T1 has a CDROM so I am trying the boot cdrom command...following is the sequence of events:
    $boot cdrom
    boot: not found
    Any suggestions or links to documentation is appreciated.
    Brittan

    On the Netra you have three levels - lom (Lights out managment) is the 'bottom' level. From here you can control power to the box, etc
    The next level is the OBP (Open Boot Prom) - This is the one you need to be at in order to do your boot cdrom
    The top level is the OS running - if you've got a $ prompt, then chances are you're logged in as someone other than root on the server with the OS running.
    To get to the OBP you'll want to be root. Assuming you know the root password type su -
    supply the root password when prompted. Your $ will now change to a # this indicates you are now the superuser (root).
    Now you can issue commands such as shutdown, halt, etc
    shutdown -g0 -y -i0 (those are both zero) will tidy shutdown the box to the OBP
    alternatively, if you're going to reinstall the OS anyway, you don't really care about a tidy shutdown and halt will do the trick
    you're now at the OBP prompt ( ok> )
    from here you can type boot cdrom
    cdrom is an alias setup on the system and should be set to point to the CDROM device on your Netra

  • How can I use Java to do Seismic programming as Motif?

    One of my friend recently finished a seismic on-site data processing program using
    Motif on Solaries.He asked me if I can implement the same function to use Java language
    so that the program can run on different platforms such as Windows,Unix.
    Seismic data is usually enormous.And I don't have any experence in plotting seismic
    curves by using Java.
    Is there any seismic processing software programmed with Java available?
    I will appriciate any help.
    Thank you

    I think the point is not the word seismic than 'how to plot curves in Java.'.
    You can find many resources about plotting curves you want in Java2D.

  • Help!!!  Error while installing Oracle9i Application Server on Solaris 5.8

    I have installed oracle 9i on sun solaris 5.8. it has the original seed database provided by oracle.
    I am doing runinstall from disk1 directory of 9iAS and trying to install Oracle 9iApplication Server 9.0.2.0.0
    after this I get a screen with Installation types where option A is selected by default (which installs J2EE, Webcache, HTTP server)when I press next it does setting up install types and displays the following message
    " Your local host name database file(typically /etc/hosts) is not configured properly. This file should have and entry of the form:
    <IP_ADDRESS><FULLY_QUALIFIED_HOSTNAME><ALIASES>
    on solaris systems, the following files should also contain the fully qualified hostname, including the domain name:
    /etc/nodename, /etc/net/ticlts/hosts, /etc/net/ticots/hosts,/etc/net/ticotsord/hosts and any files in /etc whose name begin with 'hostname'
    Failure to properly configure this file may result in product runtime issues regarding proper hostname resolution."
    the /etc/host file has two entries one for loopback and other hostname which are in proper format except there is no alias for loopback.
    Am I doing something wrong or was the oracle installation not proper.
    I logged in as 'oracle' and changed all files. Next time when i tried to login using oracle acct and tried to open a terminal the screen went black.
    How do I install Oracle9iAS.

    I am having a similar problem with an Oracle 8i install. It seems that the 9i install
    heads off this same problem before running into it. There must be a file it sees
    as not being properly updated with the host information. I checked all of the
    host* files that I could find and they seem to be correct.
    Please let me know when someone answers the question at both addresses

  • How to use csv file to populate all the items in a form

    Our environment - Forms 6i/IAS 9i on Solaris/8.1.6 database on
    Solaris.
    In the web form I want the user to type in the name of an
    existing csv file(which contains 1 record). Then press a button
    and all the items on the form should be populated with the data
    in the csv file.
    One method is load the data in the csv file into the database
    using sqlloader and then execute a query to populate the form.
    Is there another way - instead of loading the file in the databas
    e? Thanks

    Hi Afroz,
    To be more specific, if the csv file doesn't has header, please refer to this script to add header:
    $csv = Import-Csv d:\haha.csv -Header "UserA","UserXYZ","EmailA"
    Then you can loop this csv file to run the "add-mailboxpermission" cmdlet, I recommend you can test this script before running against production environment, please also note I haven't tested this script:
    $csv = Import-Csv d:\users.csv -Header "UserA","UserXYZ","EmailA"
    foreach($each in $csv){
    write-host "assign fullaccess permission of user $($each.UserXYZ) on mailbox $($each.EmailA)"
    get-mailbox -identity $each.EmailA | add-mailboxpermission -user $each.UserXYZ -accessrights 'fullaccess'
    If there is anything else regarding this issue, please feel free to post back.
    Best Regards,

  • Forms Server Install on Redhat Linux 7.0

    I am attempting to install Forms6i/Reports6i/Graphics6i on my Linux Box.
    I already have a 8.1.6 Database configured and running.
    After downloading the tar file and extracting it I am having trouble with the installation of the software. The Guide refers to running the orainstal shell script in the orinstall directory. Well when I execute the script I get a Character Installer and I was expecting the Java based Gui Installer such as the one with Oracle 8i DB. I cannot get the oraviewer program to work either for I wanted to see if there were some other setting I am not executing correctly.
    When I continue with the Char Installer it has trouble finding a lib called X11m.a or something (Motif related).
    Does Forms 6i require Motif? If so where and how do I get it for my Linux box? Are there any work arounds for this.
    Any help is greatly apprecicated.
    Thanks

    Hello Shawn,
    Yes, you need motif libraries. You can obtain it for free from: http://www.metrolink.com/products/Motif/download.html
    I installed both runtime and development packages.
    Aditionally you may ned to have X-devel packages installed.
    After struggling with Forms installation on my linux machine I managed to do this, but let me tell you that it's not so simple. First of all please excuse my bad English, I'm not a native speaker. Anyway that's how I did it.
    I assume that you downloaded the file d2k6irelease2.tar from technet. This file includes Forms 6i rel. 2 Server and Developer.
    I managed to install this on my RedHat 7.1 machine having already installed Oracle 8.1.7 database Server.
    First of I created a separate user which owns Forms Server software. I set this user as belonging to the same group ("dba" in my case) as the oracle database software owner. (On my machine I have "oracle" user which owns databse server belonging to the "dba" group and "forms" user belonging also to the "dba" group). You must set your environment like this (in ".bash-profile" in my case):
    -- Begin .bash_profile file
    # .bash_profile
    # Get the aliases and functions
    if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
    . ~/.bashrc
    fi
    # User specific environment and startup programs
    unset LANG
    PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin
    BASH_ENV=$HOME/.bashrc
    ORACLE_BASE=/oracle
    ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/forms
    ORACLE_SID=forms
    ORACLE_AUTOREG=$ORACLE_HOME/guicommon/tk60/admin
    TNS_ADMIN=$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/tnsnames.ora
    ORACLE_TERM=vt220
    LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:/lib:/usr/lib
    TWO_TASK=oratest
    MMTK_AVIPLAYER="xanim %s &"
    PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
    DISPLAY=TEST_MACHINE:0.0
    export ORACLE_BASE ORACLE_HOME LD_LIBRARY_PATH TWO_TASK MMTK_AVIPLAYER
    export TNS_ADMIN DISPLAY ORACLE_AUTOREG ORACLE_TERM ORACLE_SID
    export BASH_ENV PATH
    unset USERNAME
    -- End .bash_profile file
    As you can see I set up ORACLE_BASE to the same ORACLE_BASE as database software ORACLE_BASE, a new ORACLE_HOME, a dummy ORACLE_SID, TWO_TASK to the sid of your 8.1.6 server instance, TNS_ADMIN pointing to a directory which I created manually before starting the installer (see below my "tnsnames.ora" file under this manually created directory), ORACLE_AUTOREG, ORACLE_TERM, DISPLAY set to your_hostname:0.0, LD_LIBRARY_PATH as seen, MMTK_AVIPLAYER is for playing ".avi' files (I didn't tried this). You may need to "chmod 775" on your $ORACLE_HOME directory from the database user account.
    -- Begin "tnsnames.ora" file
    ORATEST =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = TEST_MACHINE)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SERVICE_NAME = oratest)
    EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SID = PLSExtProc)
    (PRESENTATION = RO)
    -- End "tnsnames.ora" file
    I untared d2k6irelease2.tar under a subdirectory created under "forms" home directory. In "unixdoc/Server" directory you will find linux_svr.pdf instructions for installation of Forms server and under "unixdoc/Developer" you will find linux_dev.pdf instructions for Developer Server. "oraview" didn't worked for me either. GUI installer didn't worked for me either. Chnaging to orainst you may issue ./orainst command and start the installation in character mode (I did not even started an X session). I choosed default install, do not create database objects (I think you will be able to install later this objects by running some sql scripts, I didn't). And I choosed all components presented and all options and default port parameters. You will also be prompted to confirm locations of the motif libraries. I choosed http mode for forms server. Do not install Reports security feature (I've heard that it's not working, this option will be presented to you somewhere at the end of installation). After finishing you may need to edit "forms60_server" file and some other files. For example I had to change my "host_name.domain_name" (in my case was "TEST_MACHINE.(none)") to my IP address as I don't have a DNS server here.
    That's what I did to test forms server:
    I wanted to test my Forms server by running Apache web server (the one that is installed by default by linux). (in the documetation you will find references to the WebDB listener which as far as I know is no longer installed in release 2, so the documentation is obsolete regarding this module). For this you will have to edit /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file. Look for the section "Alias" and "AliasScript". under your forms $ORACLE_HOME/orainst you will find two files "forms6iconfig.txt" and "reports6iconfig.txt". You will find there actions to be performed by you manually. in "forms6iconfig.txt" file you will find virtual mappings for physical directories. You have to put this entries in "httpd.conf" file. You must edit this file as "root". For example 'Alias /dev60temp/ "/oracle/product/forms/tools/web60/temp/"'. The exception I made was for "/dev60cgi" virtaul mapping which I've put under ScriptAlias section 'ScriptAlias /dev60cgi/ "/oracle/product/forms/tools/web60/cgi/"'.
    After succesfully editing the file you will ned to restart http server:
    #/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart
    Login again as "forms" user.
    In $ORACLE_HOME directory isuue:
    $./forms60_server start
    This will start your forms server listener.
    After that you can test your forms server running from an external machine by entering: http://ip_addres_of_linux_machine/dev60html/runform.htm
    and after completing parameters you will see "text.fmx" form applet saying that Forms server is installed corectlly or directly: http://ip_addres_of_linux_machine/dev60cgi/f60cgi
    You have to install Jinitiator to view the applet. It will be prompted for you to download it when accessing the above address.
    To be honest I was disapointed to see that forms server is very slow. And I mean very slow.
    In the end please let me excuse if I wasn't clear in some points. If you have any questions please post them on the list. I'm not an expert and I may have made mistakes, but in the same time I hope this will help you setting up forms server on your linux box.
    I forgot to mention that you will probably see a message saying that "formsweb.cfg was not found" when accesing "http://..../f60cgi". If you see this you have to options: either make a symlink "forms60" in the root directory to $ORACLE_HOME/forms60 directory or add a line in your "httpd.conf" file (I put this lines the last ones):
    #Include 6iserver configuration file for setting formsweb.cfg path
    include "/developer_home/conf/6iserver.conf"
    And in $ORACLE_HOME create a directory named "conf". In this directory create a file named "6iserver.conf" and put the following line in it:
    SetEnv FORMS60_WEB_CONFIG_FILE /developer_home/forms60/server/formsweb.cfg
    This will set your environment correctly and you will be able to see the test form. Don't forget to restart apache web server and forms listener.
    Kindly,
    Codrut Octavian Popescu

  • Solaris 8 on Intel hangs after FDISK

    Target machine is a Compaq Presario 4660, 1 cdrom (HP), 64 megs, pII-300, IDE based HD under 8GB.
    During install, blurb pops up notifing me that FDISK must be run, and a Solaris FDISK partition will be created for me. At this time, I get a FDISK screen. So, I happily create a couple partitions. One running about 10MB and set as x86 boot, the other set to Solaris, and running most of the rest of the disk. There is a 2GB partition for Winblows on the disk.
    After leaving FDISK, everything just hangs. If I reboot, im not prompted to FDISK again, it just hangs. The little cursor keeps spinning around, but nothing happens past 'rpc.bootparams'. If I go to winblows and delete the solaris partitions using winsucks fdisk, it goes back to loading the webinstaller and saying 'Dude! We need to build this Solaris FDISK partition!' at which time the above loop starts again and everything just hangs.
    So what should I do :)
    Thanks
    James
    [email protected]

    Hi.
    I don't kmow if those I tell you could serve.
    The problems I have had with the Fdisk partition were solved of this form: I only create ONE Solaris partition, because the multilingual Solais Free release ($100) creates automatically one of 10Mb (if I create 2, one of 10Mb, the Solaris OS creates another ne of 10Mb). After this. it demand me to put a partition higer than 460Mb to swap. When I have done all, the program copies the OS boot on the partition. After we must reboot and the Webstart begins. The problem is that we must reinstall the OS with the 1st intallation disk, because the partition hasn't been formatted by fdisk. Once the new install CD has run, the Solaris take the global Solaris partition and ask to format it. We say yes. after that we can instal the rest of the OS. (It happens in the spanish instalation, but I think that the rest will be samely). Sorry for my english.

  • Forms and Reports 6i to web migration

    Hello,
    Is there any white paper that describes about how to migrate from client server architecture to a web running on UNIX?
    We are migrating from forms and reports 6i running on windows to web running on UNIX with the versions of products.
    Thanks in advance.

    check this out:
    http://otn.oracle.com/products/forms/htdocs/upgrade/content.html
    I have tried running Forms/Reports 6i servers on Solaris 8. It was different than using the 9iAS EE forms/reports services - but the concept is similar. I also used whitepapers that I downloaded from Metalink which were explaining the client/server and the web form design differences (such as when-mouse tringgers won't work in web forms, etc).
    regards
