Form Builder for Oracle 9i

Hey greetings all
i am using oracle 9i and now wish to make interfaces for my database project using any form builder. The first option was to use form builder for oracle 9i but i have heard that its tought to learn and heavy on system. now 2nd option in my mind is to use oracle developer 6i. can anybody suggest what shall i use? my project is not very complex or bigger. i just need simple interfaces for it. plz give suggestions. Thanks in anticipation.

Hi ,
It depends on the type of application you want to have....an application on web environement automatically or an application in client-server environment which ,of course , can be run in Web but Oracle Application Server is needed with some configuration steps...
Also , the Oracle Form Builder 6i is the last version of Forms which the produced runtime file (.fmx) runs on non-Web environment...and some time in the future Oracle will stop to support it....!!!!!
its tought to learn and heavy on systemIt has some wizards... which can help you very much in your productivity and of course in the learning of this tool.....
It is not considered much more heavy to the system....
NOTE: Just another thought...If the application is very simple and needs to be accessible form just a few people in a room , then Oracle Forms 6i may be sufficient ...!!!!

Simon

    can any body help me find a forms builder for desktop applications using Swing?
    i know Oracle Forms developer, but i think it is restricted to JSP projects only .. isn't it?

    Any IDE with a GUI builder will do. Not that I actually advice to create GUIs (I guess this is what you mean by form) with tools... but if you want to, that's the way. The editor of JBuilder is said to be quite good.

    If you want to download and install Developer 6i to your Windows client, then here is the direct link --> http://download.oracle.com/otn/nt/forms/6i_rel2_xp.zip
    You will need to recompile the form again on your server if the OS is Linux/Unix by referring to the docs referenced above by AsifMuhammad

  • Connect form builder to oracle 10g express ?

    Hi ,
    How can i connect form builder 10 to oracle 10g express ?

    error -> ORA -12154That normally means there is some problem with tnsnames.ora :
    $ 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:

    //        (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.

    You could also try using "<host name or IP address>/xe" as connection string (database).

  • Trouble installing "Form Builder" with Oracle Developer 6/6i

    I get the following "Error Info" message first:
    "path vrf(86): Unbound variable 'path_too_long_prompt'"
    Then the following:
    "The Oracle Installer cannot update the system path variable to %new- path% because it is too long. Please restrict your system path to 127 characters and make sure D:\Oracle\ORADEV\bin is included in your path."
    Note that the reference to the D:\ drive is correct, but how do I correct this problem with the path variable being too long?
    "Form Builder" does not get installed but the "Report Builder" which follows this step in the process installed just fine.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    ...Barry

    Yes, you can install. Install Oracle 9i DB and D2k on different HOME. Then, configure D2K tnsnames.ora as per 9iDB tnsnames.
    it will work, and works fine for me.

  • Forms certified for Oracle 8i

    What version of forms are certified for Oracle 8i?. Can Forms 3.0 be deployed with Oracle 8i without any re-coding issues?.

    As an old sqlforms30 developer (ans server 7.1) with some 3 years experience, I incline to think that 3.0 would work, yet you certainly wouldn't be able to take full advantage of the facilities of Oracle 8i.
    I believe you should use a Forms version later then 5.0, like I do now with Oracle 8 (not i).

  • Locking problem  in Forms Builder 6i, Oracle 9i

    It appears that forms builder is issuing exclusive locks on referenced DB objects during and after compilation. This causes problems when trying to issue DDL statements against these objects while builder is connected. Is this the proper lock mode or a known bug? Anyway to control locking by forms builder?

    What is the version of your database?<br><br>
    Is this the same problem:<br><br>
    Compiling a form creates locks?

  • Locking Problem with Forms Builder 6i/Oracle 9i

    It appears that when form builder has a form open, all of the objects in the form are locked exclusively. This is causing loads of problems when trying to alter objects. Runtime doesn't seem to have this problem. Is this a known bug or is there a way to keep builder from obtaining exclusive locks.

    We have the same problem. It seems that if we use drop and create and not create or replace statments we don't get the locks. This is not a solution but perhaps a workaround.
    We tried to upgrade the database to 9.0.1.3.1 but that didn't help.

    Hello people,
    I have tried to follow the instructions for the form demo and have installed Oracle devleoper sute 10.1.2.0.2.
    In the instructions it instructs you to edit the
    %ORACLE_HOME%\forms\j2ee\formsapp\formsweb\WEB-INF\web.xml
    where %ORACLE_HOME% is the home directory of the devloper suite. Now then, when you goto the %ORACLE_FORMS%\forms\j2ee directory there is no formsapp directory, only three files,

    Hi,
    I have had a look at my installation, and what I did was create two directories called disk1 and disk2, (for the two extracted zip files) and then ran setup in the disk 1 directory. So I don't know if it was aware of the disk 2 directory.
    I am re-installing it now. So I will get back to you.
    Thank you very much for getting back so quickly.

  • Problem in Form Development for Oracle Apps

    Hello everybody,
    I have developed one form with three blocks:
    Header Level (block1) [master block]
    Line Level (block2) [child to block1]
    Line Detail Level (block3) [child to block2]
    in the header level i have used two non database items and in line level again i have used two non database items. I am facing two problems in this form.
    1. When i run form in query mode. whenever i execute the query and navigate down the records in the header block, first prompts: DO YOU WANT TO SAVE THE REOCRD even then if dont make any sort change in the form.
    2. When i start navigating the form in reverse order i.e. up the records, the form will go in deadlock state. It will hang and as of result i have to kill the process explicitly from the Oracle Apps server.
    Please suggest me the solution ASAP!!!
    Thanks in Advance!

  • Interface Build for Oracle Workforce Scheduling (OWS)

    Hi there
    I am working with OWS which is a product so new that I see no Metalink Notes (apart from the product documentation) nor any posts on this forum.
    Am particularly interested in developing an interface to it.
    The most useful document for this is
    Oracle Workforce Scheduling Integration Functional Guide 5.0.2
    462087.1 12-OCT-2007 Oracle Workforce Scheduling Generic REFERENCE
    Within this document, there is a tantalising reference to this document:
    Oracle Workforce Scheduling
    Interface Development Kit Guide
    https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.sh
    owDocument?p_database_id=NOT&p_id=390822.1
    Whislt I can find the Integration Functional Guide on Metalink, there seems to be no documentation anywhere on this IDK.
    Can anyone help me track down this missing link in the OWS documentation?

    Hi,
    Has anyone worked on Oracle Workforce Scheduling (OWS) product? I am adding this question here as I could see some pointers mentioned about it here.
    If anyone has worked on Oracle Workforce Scheduling (OWS) for scheduling requirements along with Demantra and OTL , please share the experience and pro’s and con’s of this product.
    Also, if you can provide the details about the fitment of this product to handle workforce scheduling related functionalities e.g. what OWS can handle and what OWS cannot handle, that will be of great help.

  • Identify forms in Oracle forms Builder

    Hi every one,
    I am very very new to Oracle forms and Oracle Builder, how can we find the complexity of a form and also a report, I have the access to the Oracle forms builder and Oracle report builder, Can any one help me how to move further and, how to identify. It would be really great thing, If any one helps me As soon as possible.
    waiting for your suggestions.
    Thanks,
    raki

    Is see you double posted this thread, and the other one is also a bit vague.
    It is not such a straightforward task to specify complexity. You have to have a good working knowledge of the system. I can give you example about one of our forms. It looks really simple: type in some identifier, and it will show you all open invoices of a customer, Press a button for full or partly payment of the invoices and receipts will be printed.
    This involves many things in the background, like checking the financial system. It looks simple (one when-button-pressed trigger), but is very complex indeed.
    If you want to migrate from Forms to Apex, you should properly plan it. If you have no experience at all in your company for such a project, you might want to contact a specialized company.

  • 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.
