Forms 10G to Forms 6i Integration

Hi,
I have a customer who has unique requirement to call a Oracle CRM 11i Form (Developer 6i) from an
Oracle CRM Rel 12 (Form in Developer 10G) instance. Both instances work fine independently and
Single Sign On is not currently enabled.
Does anybody have any thoughts on the most efficient way of doing this requirement ?
Thx in advance.
Best Regards
Ramdas

I recommend you begin by looking at these documents about migrating Forms 6i.

MS Word smart quotes don't paste the same into Forms 10g as Forms 6i

Hi all,
I have users who write text in Microsoft Word and then cut-and-paste it into Oracle Forms.
After some prodding by the developers, the users have switched to using the 10G version of their application instead of the 6i version.
As a background you should know that Microsoft Word uses Smart Quotes by default, which you can turn off. Smart Quotes are different ascii characters than the ascii 39 single quote and ascii 34 double quote.
When the users cut-and-paste the Microsoft Word text into the Forms 10G field, the single apostrophe smart quote does not convert to ascii 39. I wouldn't be surprised about this except that in Forms 6i the form does convert the single apostrophe smart quote into ascii 39.
So if the users use the 6i Form they can cut-and-paste and the form/database has the character as ascii 39. If the users paste into Forms 10G then the database shows the character as ascii 191 (hex 0xBF), which is an inverted question mark.
Does anyone know of any settings in Forms 10g to revert back to 6i functionality for this?
Thanks much,
Troy

I am afraid that Jan is right.
And this might be a bit of a hassle, since it might affect your forms. If you are using some standard Windows lettertype in your forms, though, you should be OK.
Bare in mind, that you the NLS_LANG.characterset will have to be compatible between database and forms (the latter at both compiletime and runtime).
Good Luck!

FRM : 41067 Cannot find menu item id ( forms 10g Menus/Forms Conversion )

Hi All ,
We have menus converted into forms 10g using the forms migration assistant FMA ( frmplsqlconv ) . Now , we had the menus (.mmb) which had used Shared Menus.
After conversion observed that there were some duplicate copies of the shared menus created automatically and each reference where this shared menu was used was replaced by the newly created ones.
Now , when I open the form that uses the menu I get the following error :
FRM : 41067 Cannot find menu item id
On debuggin observed the the above error was generated at :
set_menu_item_property(SHARED_MENU.ITEM,.... )
Not sure how this worked in forms earlier version and not working in 10g now.
Could anyone please let me know how to go about to fix this issue and why is this happening at the first point.
Is re-creating the menu from scratch the only option to resolve the issue ?
Please advise ..
Thanks ,

Hi
Error Message: FRM-41067: Cannot find Menu Item: invalid ID.

Run Form 10g through Form 9i

Hi
I want to run a form which is created by form developer 10g through form 9i, but there is a error that means not matching a version!
Any solution?
Thanks

I want to run a form which is created by form developer 10g through form 9i, You mean, form builder 10gR2 and deployed from OAS 9?
If that is true, the answer is:
Builder and deployed nust be same version, and I add, (may be ??) also patching must be same release( e.g Forms [32 Bit] Version 10.1.2.0.2 (Production) must be = OAS 10.1.2.0.2 Forms services)

EBS12, Form 10G customized form. Error FRM-40832: Variable Forms_userExits

EBS 12.
Forms 10 G
can i run customized form on my local PC. i have customizied a form which compile successfuly but when i run the form following error come.
FRM-40832: Variable FORMS-USEREXITS not

I understand. That’s you why have been requested to upload the form to the server and run it. If you had any issues in compiling the form, I would not ask you to upload the form. Instead, I would suggest you fix it on your client first.
In brief ..
You cannot run the form on the local machine, and you have to upload it to the server to do so.
You should not upload the form to the server unless it compiles successfully on your client.

HOST command not working in forms 10g

Hi,
I have migrated forms 6i to forms 10g, and having a requirement to open sqlplus prompt using a form menu. I have used the below command: -
"host('sqlplus '||user_name||'/'||pass||'@'||sid, no_screen);"
But I am not able to get the sqlplus window, and the main form is still in process for long time, till i bounce the server.
The forms are deployed on Oracle Applications Server 10g and i want to run it on server side.
Please help me with the problem.
Thanks,
Ankit

The deployment architecture is different between forms 10g and forms 6i.
In Forms 6i HOST built-in command will run on the client machine since you are running as client/server, but in WebForms (Forms10g) the HOST built-in command will run on the middle tier which is your application server machine.
In order to run hosts commands in WebForms you need to use webutil and use CLIENT_HOST in the webutil.
check the [Forms 10g R2 Demo|http://download.oracle.com/otndocs/demos/Forms_Demos_10gr2.zip] for sample codes of webutil.
You are using NO_SCREEN in your example, this will hide the window.

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.

RP2RRO.RP2RRO_RUN_PRODUCT not working in forms 10G

Hi,
Recently I convert my small application from forms 6i to forms 10g, All forms are working fine but all reports which I call through menu are not running, Whe I checked the code I found run_product is replaced by RP2RRO_RUN_PRODUCT, the code is like this
declare
complist paramlist;
begin
complist:=get_parameter_list('tmp');
if not id_null(complist) then
destroy_parameter_list('tmp');
end if;
complist:=create_parameter_list('tmp');
add_parameter(complist,'P_COMPANY_NAME',
text_parameter,:global.p_company_name);
RP2RRO.RP2RRO_RUN_PRODUCT(reports,'LDN_MCWISEVehicleDetail',asynchronous,runtime,
filesystem,complist,null);
end;
When I click the menu , nothing happened , my question is How i can my reports work

Changing the language in forms 10g

Hi All,
My windows operating system was installed without setting my language, after that I installed forms 10g
The forms didn't read my language, I setup my language on the operating system but it still question marks when I try to write it (???????) in the form builder.
Any solution please...

Ciao Haytham,
In the Registry:
On Windows systems,
You can easily modify this subkey with the Windows Registry Editor:
Start -> Run...Type "regedit", and click "ok"Edit the following registry
entry:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\HOMEx\where "x" is the unique number identifying the Oracle home.HOME0 is the first installation
There you have to set an entry with name NSL_LANG
e.g. in Italian
NLS_LANG (Value name)
ITALIAN_ITALY.WE8MSWIN1252 (Value data)
Hope this you solve

Upgrading Forms v5 to 10g web forms

Hi,
Can you upgrade directly to forms 10g from forms v5 (client server) or do you have to go to forms 6 first?
Can anybody summaries the upgrade path from v5
Thanks in anticipation

Arun is correct. Specifically to your question, see [Chapter 16 Upgrading from Pre-Forms 6i Applications to Oracle Forms |http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25016_02/doc/dl/web/B15572_01/plsqlconv.htm#i1007147].

Can't input in Khmer (Cambodian) to AL32UTF8 DB from Forms 10g?

We have a application in English. We want to sell this to a Cambodian customer. They want to enter data in BOTH English and Khmer. Our application is in Forms 10g R2 (Forms [32 Bit] Version 10.1.2.0.2 (Production)).
In order to do this can we use a 11g (11.2.0.2.0 EE) DB with AL32UTF8 character set??? I assume we can.
We have a local 11g DB with AL32UTF8.
Now, in order for me to actually do a test on this, I downloaded Khmer fonts. I searched all over the web. There are some sites like this http://www.sbbic.org/2010/03/27/how-to-install-khmer-unicode-on-your-windows-xp-computer/ .
U have to run an exe, then deploy the fonts. I did all that. I can in fact type in Khmer in Notepad.
I created a table and Oracle form for this table. I specified the Khmer font to the text field. When I run ths app and try to enter data into this field in Khmer, what gets typed in question marks, like this ????? ?????? ?????.
Why is this??? Why can't I type in Khmer in the Forms' text fields???
My client machine's OS is Windows XP, version 2002 , SP 3.
Here is everything as an image: http://s16.postimage.org/jyhc5mvk3/problem.jpg
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, I mean the file documented here: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E15523_01/web.1111/e10240/configure.htm#CHDCCGHI
In this file, add:
NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.AL32UTF8
You can use some other supported language and territory to better suit your customer's needs. Khmer and Cambodia are not supported as NLS_LANG values.
Note that the Khmer script uses diacritics and ligatures and I have some doubts if the rendering engine in Forms can cope with the requirements of the script.

Integration problem between oracle forms 10g and oracle report 10g

Hi!
I've got any error message "Unable to connect to the report server "server name"" when a oracle report is run using run_report_object in the oracle form under oracle form developer 10g. Please advise any settings are required in order to run the report. Thank you very much.
Best Regards
Pinga

The report server is running as the report can be run via URL in the brower. However, it prompts out the error when it is called by oracle form using the run_report_object.

Cascade update in forms 10g

I have a master-detail block in my form. My question is When I update one record in master block and commit the corresponding child table records should be updated. I know there exists an integrity constraint between the tables and I am getting an error of "Integrity constraint exists and child record found". Is there any way we can do a work around for this in forms 10g. Your help is appreciated.
thanks
marcbhar

When one record is updated in Master table the corresponding records in child table should also get updated.
For example,
Master Table: Tbl_Mast has colums m_id, s_code, name, sub_name
Records : m_id s_code name sub_name
1 M008.01 sales valid
2 K009.02 marketing invalid
Detail Table: Tbl_Detail has colums detail_id, s_code, name, subname, sale_no
Records : detail_id s_code name subname sale_no
48 M008.01 sales valid 1111
49 M008.01 sales valid 238
50 M008.01 sales valid 400
Now my question is, If I update sub_name = "invalid" where s_code="M008.01" in Tbl_Mast then all the records in detail table Tbl_Detail should be updated as follows
48 M008.01 sales invalid 1111
49 M008.01 sales invalid 238
50 M008.01 sales invalid 400
Now I am getting this following error.
ORA-02292: integrity constraint (A.S_SDC_FK) violated - child record found
