Forms 10g Migration : Menu attached to form appears on MDI Window.

Hi All ,
On migration of forms 5/6i into forms 10g observed that the Menu Module attached to a form appears on MDI window and not attached to the main window of the form.
How do we ensure that the Menu and the Horizontal toolbar attached to the form appear on the main window of the form and not on the MDI Window ?
Kindly help please ...

Oracle reports 6i to Oracle forms 10g migration

Hi,
I have .rdf files which were created on Oracle Reports 6i. I would like to migrate the .rdf files into Oracle Reports module which is present as a part of Oracle Forms 10g to generate PDF output.
Please let me know the detailed steps to be followed as I am a total newbie. Also I need to generate these reports on demand from a java 5 application (JSF 2.0).
Currently for ORacle reports 6i, I have the following code in my java application
rwrun60.exe g:\tomcat33\webapps\reports\web-inf\src\null userid=***/*** destype=FILE desformat="pdf" paramform=NO printjob=NO batch=YES desname=temp.pdf
1. What would be the equivalent for reports in ORacle Forms 10g ? I know there is an Oracle Apps server where ther report services reside. How to I invoke my report from my java application (residing on a weblogic server 10.3.6)?
2. What ould I do with the 6i .rdf files to upgrade them to 10g ?

I am trying to call an Oracle report i.e .rdf (which is located on the Oracle App Server) from my java EE 5 (JSF) application. The Oracle App server is Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2. I assume Oracle report generation capability is available in this release. I need to invoke the report from my Java JSF application on demand (whenever the user clicks a button on the web browser page, the report should appear on the browser as PDF) . My java application resides on Linux weblogic server.
Please let me know how it can be done ? I see rwclient.sh and another method to directly invoke using a URL. How do I do it on java, would a request.redirect() to the URL work ?
Also for hiding the params in the URL. keys need to be configured on the Oracle server right ?
Also if we use rwclient.sh or the URL based invocation, would there be any issue in concurrency when multiple users request the same report at the same time ?

Forms 10g Migration : Labels on Buttons get shrinked.

Hi All ,
We have forms from 5/6i converted into forms 10g but observed that on the migrated form Labels on Buttons get shrinked and show up half instead of full.
First case ,why does this happen ? If so what is the soln. for this.
One solution might to select each button and change its height , but do you think there is any better way to do it so that it applies to all buttons on the canvas ...
Thanks,

Hi ,
I have used the sam cooridnate system as in forms 5.
Can you please let me know if this would have any impact to do with the labels size on buttons and other text items.
I so what value should I change it to.
I have Real : point as my coirdinate system currently .
Thanks ,

Oracle Forms 10G not working as Oracle Forms 6i

Hi everyone,
I have a form which gets called from another form through a list of value. The called form(second form) has a group of tabbed canvases which get displayed depending on the parameters passed from the first form.
The Form is working prefectly fine in Forms 6i but when I converted the same form in to forms 10G it does not seem to work the same way. The tabbed canvasses are not getting displayed. I am manually having to press the execute query to get data displayed in the tabbed canvasses. I checked the parameters that are being passed and they are the same as that in Forms 6i.
Please let me know where my 10G Form is going wrong. Appreciate your help, please send me an email on [email protected]
Thanks

:System.message_level has nothing to do with how you check the flow of execution, or whether you use the Message statement. :System.Message_Level is a Forms variable that can be set to a numeric value. If you set it > 0, it hides error messages, which you should NOT do. Is there anywhere in your form where it is set? If there is, make sure it is set to zero while you are testing.
<P>Since you are using regular message statements to debug (Re: Zdebug -- Download a Forms debugging message tool), you should determine if the process that sets up the tabbed canvases is being executed.

Why do the characters in the field of a form disappear when I attach the form to another PDF file and then save the resulting pdf?

This just started happening and it does not happen every time I do this action. I occasionally get the following message "An incorrect structure was found in the PDF file" and that seems to be part of the issue. Has anyone experienced anything like this?

I found out that if I waited about 15 minutes the PDF file became normal. Thank heavens! I've now sent out my newsletter for my Quilt Club to our 90 e-mail subscribers and all of them I have heard from have gotten it the way I had written it. It must just have been a quirk that happened, but I sure am glad it fixed itself. I only have 5 more newsletters to write and then I am done. Thank Heaven. Thank you for trying to help. I was about to become even more crazed than I get when I have to publish the newsletter. I do it once a month and I never would have volunteered for the 2 year job if I had know how much work it is. My husband walks gently when he knows I am trying to put the newsletter together. I'm not usually crabby, but this has made me a nut case once a month. It's a good thing we've been married for 37 years, so he knows that it is only the "newsletter editor nutty lady" that is getting mad at everything and everyone, including him! Thanks for trying to help. You were the only one that answered. JO

Whether, directly open the existing Forms into Oracle
Forms 10g or first open the form into Forms 6i and
then after 10g?As Grant said:
4.5 to 10g (strictly speaking is not supported) but should work ok - Generally speaking you just open your Forms in the 10g builder and compile. You should check out otn.oracle.com/formsupgrade which gives you some good pointers including the Forms built-in procedures that have be desupported and removed from the product.
4.5 -> 6i -> 10g was the supported route (but even 6i is desupported now).

     1. Oracle 4.5-->6i-->10g, In this what are benefits of migrating into intermediate version.Oracle's migration path is 4.5, 6i, 10g it is more logical to migrate using this path and it is recommended by Oracle, the obsolete built-ins would be pointed out at compilation and fixes would be more automated and simple since Forms 6i was designed to accept migration from 4.5 and the internal design of the forms will be much more adaptable to later releases.
     2. if we migrating into intermediate version 6i, do we need to fix all the errors before moving to 6i.It would be better and easier to fix things in Forms 6i rather than 10g, you can leave them and than you'll have to fix them under 10g.
     3. if no, do we lose any functionlity while migrating to 10g.Functionality built on obsolete built-ins and commands will be lost, you are more likely to face bugs.
     4. Does Oracle support direct migration to 10g?Oracle's official migration path is 4.5 to 6i to 10g
     5. if we open oracle 4.5 form in 10g form builder, do we lose any functionality? do we need to lot manual replacement?It all depends on your application size and features. I suggest you migrate to Forms 6i first and than to 10g although you can do it directly to 10g since Forms 6i is no longer supported.
I personally rather follow the recommended path and use Oracle support in 10g migration.

Time out functionality in forms 10g

Hi all,
I am trying to implement time out functionality in forms 10g.
i have created a form tout.fmb
in when_new_form_instance trigger : i have written the code like
declare
v_url varchar2(200);
begin
v_url := 'http://www.google.com';
WEBUTIL_SESSION.ENABLE_REDIRECT_ON_TIMEOUT(v_url);
end;
i have attached webutil.pll to it. while running the form it is giving the error as library cannot be attached.
Also. when i run it through Unix application server, it gives the alert window showing message "Please acknowledge" .
Could anybody please help?
Thanks and Regards,
Neha

So you have subclassed the webutil portion of the webutil.olb into your form.
Set the webutil.pll up as a library on said form.
Compiled without error.
Run the form in your developer environment using a URL
Then got this error ??
Just confirming the path you have travelled to get to here.

Overwrite .fmx in Forms 10g for Production

Forms 6 to Forms 10g migration:
In production environment, how can we deploy new version of application's fmx file over existing one of the same name without causing any downtime?
The client machines' OS is Windows whereas the server machine's OS is HP-UX RISC. It is reported to me that overwriting a .fmx file will cause the connected clients to crash. However, customer has the requirement to keep system up when replacing particular .fmx application modules in production time.
Geoffrey

Well, the original question was a bit vague. I know you can have 6i and 10g running at the same time, but you do have to switch between the two environments (it's a different URL to the 6i or 10g server). I.e. you cannot have a 6i fmx file replaced with a 10g fmx without the user noticing anything.
It could be that the original poster just means "we have upgraded our forms 6i to 10g and we want to be able to quickly patch the upgraded 10g forms without the user noticing anything". I guess that is a more likely situation than a gradual upgrade from 6i to 10g.

Forms 10g - Resource Files

Hi,
Does anyone know how to generate custom res files for Forms 10g?
Oracle*Terminal does not appear to be contained in the download.

Not quite what I meant, let me explain. I have a .res file that contains the company's contact details.
In earlier versions I was able to write a .prn file and compile the file using the RSPR*.exe utility. This no longer seems to be possible. Any suggestions?
thanks
Jason.

Forms 10g can't generate library!

Hello,
I use forms 10g(Version 9.0.4.0.19 (Production)) for windows to create library, it can be complied, but it can't create plx file! It raise error "FRM-91507".
The testing library only contains a procedure which has 'null it.
Anyone has this problem? please advise.

You first need to find out what's causing the error before you can lookup whether a patch for this particuliar problem exists.
For that reason I suggest you try the NLS setting anyway.
Another option might be to start the Form Compiler (ifcmp60.exe) from the command line to generate the plx files
And make sure
- that the library is not in use. Otherwise it will be locked by the forms runtime
- the FORMS60_PATH contains the directory where the library (.pll) file is located.

How to replace the forms6i menu parameter in forms 10g after migration

Hai,
We have forms6i application and we are going to migrate forms6i into forms 10g .The forms 6i have the menu userdefine parameter.But forms 10g don't have the option. so please send me the suggesstion what we can do .Is there any alternative way.How to bring the same funtionality in forms 10g after the migration.pls reply me
THANKS

We had the same problem - you could develop a new form just to accept the necessary user input, but that might be overkill. We used Forms Editors, displaying them with an appropriate startup text e.g. 'Parameter1='. The user then types in the parameter, then we check the new Editor text and pull out the info we need.
