Form/Report Application Migration

Hi everybody,
In my company, we have a human resource system, made in forms/report 6i (9ias r1). This system will be migrate to forms 9i (9ias r2 - 9.0.2).
I´m afraid because i don´t know if the HR application will work at our new environment. Besides, what can occur if we need to migrate from 9.0.2 to 9.0.4, of the Application Server? Anybody already made this?
Thanks
Carlito

  • Development and Production Requirements for a Forms/Report application

    Dear all,
    We have an application witch run in client/Server mode using Forms/Reports 6i For 300 users.We want to migrate it on Forms/Reports 9I using Oracle 9IAS and Oracle 9IDB.
    I would like to have advises about material requirements of both development and production environment((developer deskop, development appServer and databaseServer, end user desktop,production databaseServer and production AppServer).
    Thank u for giving more details about my request.

    I have my dev and production on 2 different databases/instances, and the workspaces have a different name aswell (think 'dev' and 'prod').
    I do reuse my application ids, which makes the whole process a lot more manageable: easier for me to identify and replacing a whole application.
    However, when i want to replace only 1 page, apex stumbles over the workspace. Bummer.
    So i took an export of a page on both workspaces, and opened the files.
    prompt  Set Credentials...
    begin
      -- Assumes you are running the script connected to SQL*Plus as the Oracle user APEX_040100 or as the owner (parsing schema) of the application.
      wwv_flow_api.set_security_group_id(p_security_group_id=>nvl(wwv_flow_application_install.get_workspace_id,1377027056414870));
    end;
    wwv_flow_application_install.get_workspace_id,1377027056414870));
    I took both workspace IDs and keep them in a simple txt in my installation-files folder. Each time i need to import a page from dev->prod i go in the exported file from dev and change the workspace id to the id of my production workspace id. Everything works magically after that.
    If your application ids also differ, you can try changing the id in the exported file aswell, but i can't tell if it works or not since i've not done that yet.
    prompt  Set Application ID...
    begin
       -- SET APPLICATION ID
       wwv_flow.g_flow_id := nvl(wwv_flow_application_install.get_application_id,130);
       wwv_flow_api.g_id_offset := nvl(wwv_flow_application_install.get_offset,0);
    null;
    end;where of course you'd change around nvl(wwv_flow_application_install.get_application_id,130);

  • Porting Forms/Reports when migrating Oracle 9i DB from AIX 5.2 to AIX 5.3

    Hi,
    Looking for advice on how to port Oracle Forms/Reports modules when moving our Oracle 9i database from AIX 5.2 to AIX 5.3 platform. Details are as below:
    Oracle Forms and Reports v6i (There is no version upgrade in Forms & Reports)
    Database is Oracle 9i (No upgrade in database)
    There is upgrade in hardware only : from AIX 5.2 to AIX 5.3
    The application is having some 8000 forms/reports modules
    Do we need to recompile the forms/reports after porting the 9i database to AIX 5.3 ?
    Any direction would be appreciated .. Thanks !!
    Regards,
    Himansu

    Hi,
    Thanks for the response, we are going to recompile the Forms/Reports in the new environemnt.
    Just wondering how much time it may take to recompile all the 8000 odd forms/reports modules.. ? Will 10 seconds per form/report module be safe enough for the compilation ? Because in a batch file every time it is going to connect to the database while compiling a module, I am assumming it may take some 5 seconds to 10 seconds for the compilation. Thanks for the help again.

  • Forms, Reports Application Components

    Hi,
    I am new to portals. It seems that Forms, Reports, Charts ... application components could be built/integrated with Oracle Application Server Portal

  • Upgrade Oracle Forms/Reports from 6i to 11g

    Hi you Oracle experts,
    I'm considering to upgrade my Oracle Forms/Reports application from 6i to 11g.
    However, I see dozens of separated server components on the download page in OTN.
    Can anyone guide me what server/developer software components should I prepare to install ?
    Also, please tell me the service dependency between the server components.
    Thank you in advance.

    It depends on which Machine you want to install. Its different for a developer and a Server.
    For Forms and Reports, you can Weblogic server and install FMV with Forms and Reports builders.
    For migration you can go through this link.

  • Forms & Reports Support

    Hi,
    I have a customer who is looking for Java Cloud Services to migrate his forms & reports applications,
    Where can I find if this kind of service is provided inside cloud services ? I need a documentation that describes that.
    Thanks in advance.

    I have not worked with Forms for a long time. Are use sure they actually support the NVARCHAR2 data type?  My memory tells me that they do not.
    I recommend migrating the database to AL32UTF8.  You can support NVARCHAR2 in Forms using workarounds with stored procedures to move data as you described (you should be able to do this while reading as well.) but NVARCHAR2 data type is discouraged as it is not necessarily supported by all database features. For example, you cannot built an Oracle Text index on an NVARCHAR2 column. I am also not surprised that Reports cannot support NVARCHAR2.

  • Forms & Reports 10 g and Goofle Chrome

    Hi there,
    I wish to upgrade from IE8 to Google Chrome but when I run my 10g Forms & Reports application on Chrom, I get the following issue; 'No plug-in available to display this content'.
    When I run 'java -version', i get "1.4.2_06-b03"
    Any ideas or Advice.
    Also, if Chrome does not work on Forms 10g, what modern browser would you recommend.
    Thanks in advance

    Windows vista is a headache for all pre 10.2.0.3.0 products. You mentioned you successfully installed the oracle database, which doesn't mean any other product will also install successfully. If you installed the specific 10g R2 for windows vista, then it will work, if you installed Oracle XE, it is supported on vista systems, but Developer suite isn't, so I suggest you to create a virtual machine with a supported OS for DS (Win 2003, XP or 2000).

  • The Best Releas Of Oracle Application Server 10g (BI Forms&Reports)

    hi all
    i am asking u to loock with me to the best solution for my environment
    becuse we want to upgrade our Environment work :
    Current Work Environment:
    - Oracle Database Server R 8i as (database)
    - Oracle Developer 2000 as (Forms & Reports)
    our comunity is welling to upgrade our work to 10g
    and we are asking for the best release that we can use to a complish the best senario for our environment .
    i have the current seggestion :
    - Upgrade the database to R 10gR2 (Export&Import).
    - Install & Migrate the developer side as Infrastruction Appliction Server 10gR(10.1.2.0 ) .
    - Install the Middle Tire as BI Forms&Reports & Migrate our whole system to the new Release using developer Suite 10g .
    i am asking you'r seggestions & Best Bractice in my case .
    also what is the most Stable relase we can use .
    thanks .

    Hi Ibrahim,
    You can do an easier installation by only using base release of 10.1.2.0.2. What I stated would be good practice:
    By * DB 10.2.0.3 ---- > u mean (Database Version) => Yes, use Database version 10.2.0.3
    By * Identity Management 10.1.4.0.1 (OID/SSO) -----> u mean (Application Server infrastructure) => Yes, use Identity Management 10.1.4.0.1 instead of the infrastructure on Application Server 10.1.2.0.2
    By * Application Server 10.1.2.0.2 -----> u mean (Middle Tire Forms&Report Services) => Yes, use Application Server 10.1.2.0.2 as middle-tier. When installed, upgrade it to 10.1.2.2 (with the latest patchset)
    By * Patch Application Server DB client to 10.1.0.5 ----> u mean what? => Before you upgrade AS to 10.1.2.2 it's mandatory to upgrade the Database client software in the Application Server 10.1.2.0.2 home to 10.1.0.5. Default is 10.1.4. You'll see database client version by for instance starting SQL*Plus.
    For your Developer (Forms) upgrade: Forms 4.0/4.5 - 6i -> 10g. See: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/upgrade/index.html. If you have tons of Forms, then I recommend using a tool like the great PITTS.CON (http://www.pitss.com/en/pcon/index.htm).

  • Migrating 6i forms / reports to 10g (Urgent)

    Hi,
    We have 6i versions of forms and reports running in a client/server environment, and are planning to upgrade them to 10g. I need to give an estimate to my manager on the effort involved in migrating the existing objects to 10g.
    To provide an estimate:
    1. Is installing Oracle Forms 10g (10.1.2) sufficient to convert and test my existing forms?
    2. Is installing Oracle Reports 10g (10.1.2) sufficient to convert and test my existing reports?
    Or, do I also need Oracle Application Server 10g installed to go with the above?
    My intention is to initially acquire the Forms/Reports 10g tools to see how much work is involved (without having Oracle AS in place). Is this possible?
    Any help is very much appreciated.

  • Difference between Oracle Application Express and Oracle Forms/Reports

    hi guys,
    i have just use oracle apex to create some report generation tools through the web. know that this is what is known as html db in the past.
    however, i have not really touch oracle forms and reports before, neither have i really seen how they work.. but soemhow i feel oracle report/forms seems to be more.. then this oracle apex.
    it includes integration with web services, java and pl/sql .
    but i still cant really figure out what is the actual general main difference ?
    is it that for oracle forms there can be some programming logic inside , whereas for apex , it is just using what is available from what oracle provides ..
    i am read oracle form white paper, but seriously, i am not a very web guy. it has alot of components that i am not familiar with.
    so i hope you guys can just give me a more general rough idea.
    regards,
    Noob.

    Hi, my .05$
    ... most Forms & Reports users will tend to be old installed base customers using applications developed many years ago in F&R such as insurance company cores and even banking cores. Going from client/server F&R6 to "web" F&R10g is costly as you have to license an application server and most likely need to migrate to recent versions of the DB in case the customer is still on oracle 8 (common occurrence). So many customers opt. to not migrate or to simply invest in new web enabled solutions.
    Using the migration tool f&r installed base will have an easier job of migrating and at a price of whatever DB edition they are using and probably be able to do it with the same people who maintain their f&r systems provided they learn a bit about web technologies.
    what might be interesting to see is performance perception of users on f&r vs. apex...

  • Forms/Reports 6i to 10g migration process

    Hello !
    I will start a process in order to migrate our currently Forms/Reports 6i application to Oracle DS 10g (Forms/Reports 10g). What I need to know in order to begin this process.
    For example: What Oracle Application Server my customers needs to buy ? and about licenses that they need to have ?
    Can someone give me a initial direction ?
    Tank you

    I would recommend using 10g Release 2 which is version 10.1.2.
    You will need Oracle Developer Suite 10.1.2 for development and application maintenance needs. This distribution includes a light weight http listener used for testing applications while being developed. This light weight listener is not supported for multi-user access or production deployment.
    You will need Oracle Application Server 10.1.2 for deployment. If you only plan to use Forms and Reports and do not need additional security features or Identity Management (SSO, OID, etc), you can use the Forms/Reports Services distribution which is smaller than the complete Application Server installation. Refer to the following for more information:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/10g/FormsReportsServicesInstallation.htm
    This document refers to version 9.0.4 but mostly still applies to 10.1.2.
    Do not attempt to use versions newer than 10.1.2 as they do NOT support Forms or Reports.
    Additional Forms upgrade information can be found here:

  • Technical Document (Exact Procedures) To Migrate Forms/Reports 9i to 10g

    Hi;
    Where can i find the Technical Document (Exact Procedures) To Migrate Forms/Reports 9i to 10g?

    This seems to be a common point of confusion. The "FMw Upgrade Assistant" is a utility which helps you to upgrade the entire Application Server installation to a newer version (e.g. 11.1.x). This has nothing to do with your Forms (fmb, mmb, pll, etc) or Reports (rep, rdf, etc) applications. Generally speaking, I would say that using the UA is not necessary and likely should not be used in most cases. Cases where it should be used might include a situation where your previous version has been significantly customized and you don't know how or don't want to make the same customization in the new environment manually. Whether you are talking about a new product (Oracle or not) or even a new OS, generally your best bet is to start with a clean, new installation. Attempting to upgrade an existing version always comes with problems. Just one man's opinion ;-)
    As for your Forms application(s), there is a Forms Migration Assistant (FMA), explained in the Forms Upgrade Guide:
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24269_01/doc.11120/e24478/toc.htm
    That said, just like using UA, it is always better to take the extra time and not rely on such tools if they can be avoided. In most cases, the FMA will not be needed. This is especially true if your application is coming from version 10. For older versions, using FMA might be beneficial.
    So, to the point, in order to move a Forms application (fmb, mmb, pll) from version 10 to 11 is as simply as recompiling your modules using the v11 compiler. That's it ;-)

    I'm thinking no because a large part of it depends upon how the 6 Forms were written.
    You probably already have this:

    Oracle Doc 207396.1 has some information too.
