Form 6i on UNIX Environment

We have no client server environment but UNIX environment.
We are storing Form 3.0 application as well as Oracle 7.0 on Sun Solaris. And we are running Form 3.0 application on dump terminal.
Now we wish to migrate Form 3.0 application to Forms 6i and Oracle 7.0 to Oracle 8i.
Is it possible to deploy Form 6i application on Sun Solaris alongwith Oracle 8i database and run it on dumb terminal ?
Any idea would be highly appreciated.

Create a form level trigger, ON-MESSAGE
Trap the message code, that way you can
suppress the message.
Sample ON_MESSAGE trigger:
declare
v_message_code number := message_code;
v_message_text varchar2(200) := substr(message_text,1,200);
v_message_type varchar2(3) := substr(message_type,1,3);
v_alert_button number;
begin
if v_message_code = 40400 then
Message('Record saved.');
elsif
v_message_code = 40000 then
null;
end if;
null

Compile Forms on a Unix Machine (check for errors in any of the files)

Hello there,
Our organization is wrapping up the development phase and beginning our testing phase. I am responsible for the Configuration Management of our forms, menus, libraries, and reports.
We develop our code in a Windows environment (including compilation check), then we FTP the source files to a unix environment, then we compile the forms on a unix environment. We have this process down pretty well (for a couple of files at a time).
Now we would like to automate our "build" procedure. This process involves the following tasks.
1.) Extract all the source files from our vault software (PVCS)
2.) FTP all the source files to the UNIX environment
3.) Compile all the source files on the UNIX environment
4.) Test the Software on the UNIX application server
We have all of the above working (if no compilation errors occur). I am not sure how to check if any of the files errored during compilation. How can I check to see if any errors occurred during the UNIX source code compilation? I know how to do this manually (look at the output and see if the module compiled), but we are compiling approximately 200 files during our release build process. Maybe some sort of send the compilation results to an output file then search for any files that contain "not generated" (I assume if an error is generated, the text will be displayed to the user).
Is there an easy way to check if any of the forms, menus, libraries, or reports errored during the "automatic" compilation process?
Thanks,
Mike

I use this script to generate .fmx files from a zipped .fmb file. This approach allows for much faster FTP because our developers are not co-located with our servers.
In addition, the tail command echoes the final line of the .err as either...
Created form file <filename.fmx>
for success or
Compilation errors have occurred.
for failure.
# SCRIPT: zipgen
# REV: 1.0.d - Used for developement
# DATE: 070515
# PLATFORM: Not Platform Dependent
# PURPOSE: This script takes a single filename variable (w/o extension)
# and it unzips the file then deletes any existing compiled
# form of that name and finally attempts to generate a new fmx
# of the variable name.
# Assign Variables
v_log=$1.err
v_zip=$1.zip
v_fmx=$1.fmx
v_fmb=$1.fmb
# Unzip File: Overwriting any existing file(s)
unzip -q -o $1.zip
# Cleanup ZIP files
rm $1.zip
# Delete existing FMX
rm $1.fmx
# Generate FMB
gen $1
# Display results
tail -1 $1.err
# End of script

How to compile form orginal file(*.fmb) in UNIX environment

These days, i encounter a problem, i create a form application in Windows2000 or WindowsXP environment, then i compile this .fmb file to .fmx, then i transport this .fmx file to Unix environment which is our Application Server, the Oracle Application Server is in this Unix environment, i put this file in the directory which is directed in the Forms_Path variable, however, when i started to run this application by entering a valid url, the message shows that this fmx file is not runtime file, someone told me that i should recompile the orginal file under unix environment, so i transport the orginal file(.fmb) to unix environment, then i want to use the f90genm tool to compile the .fmb file, however, it shows that this command can not execute, it shows that can not open a lib file under:/project/.../../..,however, this directory does not exist at all, what case this error? i also use f90gen command, it shows: can not execute/finish creation, i want to know, how to use the two commands and what parameters i should set before using the commands? thanks

If you are talking about forms 10g then here is the method
1) run x windows interface on your machine
2) login to linux server
$ export DISPLAY=<IP address of machine>:0.0
$ frmcmp.sh module_type=form module=myform.fmb userid=user/password@connectstring compile_all=yes

How do I use a UNIX environment variable for the path of a file name

We are running Forms 6i over the web. The forms server runs on a UNIX (HP-UX) machine.
I want to read the contents of a file, which is simple enough, using the TEXT_IO package. However, I want to reference a UNIX environment variable that specifies the file path i.e
PROCEDURE get_file IS
in_file Text_IO.File_Type;
linebuf VARCHAR2(1800);
filename VARCHAR2(200);
BEGIN
filename:= '$LOG_DIR/RCAS181.log';
in_file := Text_IO.Fopen(filename, 'r');
.....other stuff
Notice the filename string references my unix env variable '$LOG_DIR'. However, this doesnt work. If I put the full pathname it works fine.
Any suggestions ?

Have a look at TOOL_ENV.GETVAR()

Compile all forms 6i in Unix

i am able to compile one form at a time but how do I compile all forms, for some reason I created a new form, ftp it, then compiled it , it runs in Oracle Apps environment however all other forms are inactive, I believe I have to recompile all forms (am i right?) but I dont know how to do this , here is the code I have to compile one form

Call Oracle Forms 6i from UNIX

Hi,
I am new to Oracle forms and I have some querries -
I have a form created on windows environment (.fmb/.fmx). This form accepts a parameter in a text field and calls another Oracle Report. Now my questions are:
1. If windows forms are not compatible with UNIX environment, then how these are converted to be compatible with UNIX/Linux (without re-creating them on different platform)?
2. Can I call the same form from UNIX shell with input as a shell script input?
3. And if answer to the second query is no, then can I invoke Web deplyed froms (on application server) using shell? and how..
I w'd appreciate your help!
Regards.

hello
please provide forms6i (on web?,client server?),OS version.
im Assumed your using character mode.

yes you can call it forms use : f60run forms.fmx username/password@tns
report : rwrun60c yourreportname.rdf username/password@tns destype=file desname=a.lis
but always use HOST command inside the forms, also to send to the printer name that is configured to your server.
host ('rwrun60c /dsk8/ciame/rcption/wagih/reportname xxx/xxxn@xxx batch=yes destype=file desname=$user_output/'||to_char(:blk1.office_emp_no)||'.lis tty_office_no='||to_char(:blk1.office_no)||' tty_emp_no='||to_char(:blk1.office_emp_no)||' tty_rcpt_no='||to_char(:blk2.rcpt_mst_receipt_no)||' tty_rpt_type=0;
lp -d $lp01 -c $user_output/'||to_char(:blk1.office_emp_no)||'.lis',NO_PROMPT);
and if you call another form then you can use open_form,call_form,,... inside the form. Be sure you add in the library your wroking folder.

How to move Oracle Forms to an Intranet Environment

This will outline the processes as we understand them to get an
Oracle Form, created with Developer 2000 to process in a Web
environment.
1. Create the Oracle Form , this has been done on a NT machine.
2. Create Oracle Web environment on the Unix server, this has
been done.
3. Process the Oracle Form, created on the NT machine through
the Forms Server, on the Unix Machine, to create the HTML
format forms.
Question: What steps are need to get the Form to run as HTML?
4. Access the Oracle Forms in the Web environment, this should
be fairly easy, when number 3 above had been completed.

Hi,
Can you please explain more regarding to move setup from DEV to PROD instance.The steps are documented in the iSetup manual, so have you gone through the documentation?
Also we would install PROD with multi tier nodes, and HA cluster. So in that case what would be the change to move the setups from DEV to PROD, as DEV is single node TEST APPS 12 installation.iSetup is helpful in moving the functional setup between the two instances. If you want to create an identical copy of your DEV instance to PROD instance (provided that both instances contain no data), then you can use "Rapid Clone" -- See (Note: 799735.1 - Rapid Clone Documentation Resources, Release 11i and 12).

Pass a Value to Variable from the unix environment in ODI (ELT)

Hi
i am very new to ODI environment.
i want know how to pass a value to variables in oracle data integrator from unix environment.
Example:
Variable name : Sales
for variable name sales i want to pass the value from unix environment.
Regards,

Edited by: user11137587 on Aug 19, 2009 6:26 AM

Work Around !
You can execute OS commands using Jython script. Probably you need to flush your enviornment variables value into a file using jython script and then read those value into ODI variable from the file.
BUt may I know why you want to read environment variable vaules in ODI, Dont you think this will make your application less portable

SSO Configuration in UNIX Environment

Hi,
We are planning to impliment SSO between 2004s Portal with R/3, BW, and host of other non SAP application which supports SSO. All the applications are hosted in UNIX environment.
Could anyone help us in understanding the pros and cons of having SSO in unix envrionment. Also you could give us any document (other than help.sap.com) which guides us in configuring will be of great help.
Thanks
Vivek Raj.

Hi,
There are no pros and cons for <b>SSO on Unix</b>. Needless to mention, the pros and cons of different operating systems supported by SAP.
The steps involved to configure SSO remains the same for any of the SAP backend systems:
1) Create a system on Portal and give a system alias to it.
2) Download the verify.der file from Portal (System Administration -> System Configuration -> Keystore Administration)
3) Log on to the backend SAP system.
4) Use transaction STRUSTSSO2 and import the Portal certifcate (verify.der) to the SAP R3 or SAP BW or SAP CRM or for that matter any SAP system with ABAP stack.
5) Give the values for EP system ID, client and language. Refer to this link : http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/78/f1a8490e7011d6999500508b6b8a93/content.htm
6) Configure the backend SAP systems to accept and verify the logon ticket. Use RZ10 and set the parameters : login/accept_sso2_ticket=1 and login/create_sso2_ticket=1
7) Restart your R3 or BW system.
For non-SAP systems, can you just let me know which systems are you referring to ?
Incase you need a document for SSO configuration, do send me your email address. You can also find documents in SDN Library.
Regards,
Sunil

Java program in UNIX environment

Hi All,
Could you please help me with how to configure a java program in UNIX environment..
that is to schedule it to run every day from cron..
I need to know what are the basic things we require to achieve the above..
I guess it is:
A script
A config file containing db login details
oher than this I don?t know what is required plz help

You can execute any jar or class file with cron. If you are using a jar you might use something like java -jar /usr/bin/myapp.jar .
I use Linux, this is my area of expertise.
Here is an online guide "for complete newbies" on how to set up cron.

Exception not throwing to action class in Unix environment

Hi
We are using Weblogic Server 9.2.3.0.
One of our EJB is not throwing exception to calling Action class in Unix environment. Its working fine in Windows.
Somehow the EJB is swallowing the exception.
any idea? I suspect it may be environmental issue?
thank you

Thanx for your reply.. I just found a solution and would like to share that with you. There are some default request parameters passed by the portal to the action class. "strutsAction" is one of them. If you print this parameters, you will see that it contains the complete url of your action. Now you can use String manipulation to extract the value of the parameters.
I know its a crude solution. But it works fine.
Best regards,
Omer
