Forms 2.3 upgrade in Forms 4.5

I tried to convert my Forms 2.3 inp files (All V2 Triggers used),
by command line as,
f45gen module=test.inp userid=uname/passwd
output_file=result.fmb updrade=Yes version=23.
The command completed successfully, generating result.fmb file,
But after that I am unable to open the result.fmb file by
Forms designer, giving error ( Unable to Open the File )
What can be the problem ?
Thanks
Dilip Patel.

Mr. Duncan Mills and other Oracle experts,
I am currently working on an upgrade of numerous SQL*Forms version 2.3 to 6i.
I have a few questions:
Is there a detailed checklist to follow for the migration from SQL*Forms 2.x to 6i?
Do you have any examples that show the proper syntax to follow for this conversion?
Some of our colleagues have stated that a migration from SQL*Forms version 2.3 to 3.0 is required?
Just to verify, if migrating from SQL*Forms v.2.3 to 6i - I need to first migrate the SQL*Forms v.2.3 .inp file to
version 4.5 using the F45GEN program of Developer 2000, this will generate a version 4.5 .fmb file which I then need to
migrate to 6i using the IF60CMP program of Developer6i
Please let me know if there are any additional undocumented steps that I need to follow.
Does anyone have an electronic copy of the Duncan Mills presentation 'Migrating Character Mode Applications
to the Web '? If so, Can you email me a copy?
Thank you, in advance, for your assistance.

After upgrading to CF10, the selected row of my cfgrid is no longer passed on form post.

I have a cfform which contains a cfgrid and prior to the 9 to 10 update, upon submission of the cfform, the selected row of the grid was passed/posted to my form action page as:
__CFGRID__gridForm__renewalGrid
This contained all the data from the selected row, I.e.:
__CFGRID__COLUMN__=PROJECTID; __CFGRID__DATA__=T01081002AP; __CFGRID__COLUMN__=APPLICATIONS; __CFGRID__DATA__=PQFD; __CFGRID__COLUMN__=OWNERUID; __CFGRID__DATA__=HT2008; __CFGRID__COLUMN__=TEAM; __CFGRID__DATA__=Roberts; __CFGRID__COLUMN__=ROLE; __CFGRID__DATA__=AASBOAPMX; __CFGRID__COLUMN__=REGION; __CFGRID__DATA__=Southwest; __CFGRID__COLUMN__=EXISTING; __CFGRID__DATA__=K8045F; __CFGRID__COLUMN__=SOD; __CFGRID__DATA__=0; __CFGRID__COLUMN__=INITIALEMAILDATE; __CFGRID__DATA__=01/28/2013; __CFGRID__COLUMN__=MESSAGEDATE; __CFGRID__DATA__=; __CFGRID__COLUMN__=SECONDEMAILDATE; __CFGRID__DATA__=; __CFGRID__COLUMN__=ESCALATIONDATE; __CFGRID__DATA__=; __CFGRID__COLUMN__=COMPLETEDBY; __CFGRID__DATA__=TH2878; __CFGRID__COLUMN__=COMPLETIONDATE; __CFGRID__DATA__=02/06/2013; __CFGRID__COLUMN__=MONTHPULLED; __CFGRID__DATA__=Jan2013; __CFGRID__COLUMN__=TOTALITEMS; __CFGRID__DATA__=2; __CFGRID__COLUMN__=RELIEVINGPSA; __CFGRID__DATA__=; __CFGRID__COLUMN__=MODIFIEDBYTS; __CFGRID__DATA__=02/06/2013; __CFGRID__COLUMN__=MODIFIEDBY; __CFGRID__DATA__=T228Y8; __CFGRID__COLUMN__=CREATEDBY; __CFGRID__DATA__=KV3M36; __CFGRID__COLUMN__=CREATEDTS; __CFGRID__DATA__=01/28/2013; __CFGRID__COLUMN__=NEWSA; __CFGRID__DATA__=; __CFGRID__COLUMN__=DELEGATESTATUSNOTE; __CFGRID__DATA__=Access; __CFGRID__COLUMN__=STATUS; __CFGRID__DATA__=Completed; __CFGRID__COLUMN__=DATATYPE; __CFGRID__DATA__=Appl New
After upgrading to CF10, and with no changes to the code, performing this same process, __CFGRID__gridForm__renewalGrid is still passed in the form scope to my action page, but now it is empty.
I have not yet uninstalled CF9, so I brought it up on a different port, and I can run the same code as CF9 or CF10 and watch... in 9 the selected row is passed, in 10 it is empty.
Is this a bug? Is there a work around? Please help.

appears that apple has changed SMB code, and now its not possible login from windows on mac.
i installed snow leopard and now works fine.
apple is capable to make it run paying new license of smb code, but isnted of this, apple has created new protocol smbx and now, all others need to adapt your code to apple..
bad movement.. i am thinking sell imac and no back to apple anymore..

Upgrade from 8.2 to 9.0 - buttons missing to submit form

Hello everyone,
We have upgraded to LiveCycle ES2 from LiveCycle ES.
When we open the tasks via Workspace ES2, the buttons are missing to submit form. Buttons which should be there because "User must select a route to complete this task" option is selected; and it was working fine in version 8.2. There is only a submit button which appears on the form.
Could you advice about the case please?
Thanks in advance
Sedat,

Hi Sedat,
which version of Adobe Acrobat/Reader are you using? Seems that you're using Version 8.x, right?

Forms HOST command no longer works after database upgrade from 10g to 11g

Hi,
After upgrading the database 10g to 11g the forms HOST command no longer works on Unix server. The form used to work fine prior the upgrade. I read all the threads I could find and did not see any solutions. Adding PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH does not work because it does not even run a basic shell script. (I saw this solution, adding PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH, in many questions / threads).
1. I wouldn't expect the database upgrade to be an issue, but it is the only change we had.
2. Note, 11g is Oracle Fusion Middleware which is quite a bit different than 10g.
I even tried the most basic commands like "echo" which is a build-in Unix command and there is no directory for it (ie. no /usr/bin - so variable PATH is irrelvent). i.e HOST('echo hi'); and HOST('echo "hi" '); and even HOST ('echo hi > /my_file.txt'); all returns FORMS_FAILURE (actually the if is IF FORM_SUCCESS THEN ... else ... and the else part always runs now - whereas it didn't before.).
Or basic commands like /usr/bin/ls as in HOST(/usr/bin/ls). At that point I was just testing the Unix command would return FORM_SUCCESS even though I could not see the results (because they weren't writing to a log file). Notice that I'm using the direct path /usr/bin so no Unix environment variables were needed.
The form does use webutil but that part works. For example, we have webutil_file_transfer( ....) The file shows up on the application server and in the expected directory.
Here's the main goal. Upload a file from clients local PC to the datebase server. The form uploads the file to the Application server, then we have a Unix script to scp (secure copy) the file from the application server to the database server. IF webutil, or any other Oracle functions could put the file on the database server that would be better. But, I don't know of any procedures that do that - or would have done it cleanly (i.e. storing to database and write back to server and then using a blob etc. )
Anyway, I was hoping someone would help with either of these.
1) Get the HOST command to work. - If we can get that to work then I wouldn't need any more help. We can just call the already existing Unix script to copy the file from the application server to the database.
2) OR be able to upload directly to the database server - wanted to do that originally
Any help would be appreciated

Solution for those interested and for anyone else searching this forum for a solution
I found this on My Oracle Support:
<h3>Host Command from Forms Not Working in 11g in Sun Solaris Sparc OS [ID 1157346.1]</h3>
Applies To: Oracle Forms - Version 11.1.1.1.0 and later
Sun SPARC Sun OS
Symptoms:
When trying to execute a Shell script or any OS command using the host() Built-in from Forms 11g, the host()command is not getting executed. The same functionality works on other operating systems and in previous versions like 10gR2.
Steps to be followed:
1) Take a backup and edit the $DOMAIN_HOME/config/fmwconfig/servers/WLS_FORMS/applications/formsapp_11.1.1/config/default.env or any custom environment file.
2) Locate the following environment variable:
LD_PRELOAD=/ora10gas/app/11.1.0/Middleware/as_1/jdk/jre/lib/sparcv9/libjsig.so
3) Comment out this variable. After the changes, it will look like the following:
#LD_PRELOAD=/ora10gas/app/11.1.0/Middleware/as_1/jdk/jre/lib/sparcv9/libjsig.so
3) a) Instead of LD_PRELOAD, kindly use LD_PRELOAD_64 as given below :
LD_PRELOAD_64=/ora10gas/app/11.1.0/Middleware/as_1/jdk/jre/lib/sparcv9/libjsig.so
(This makes HOST AND RUN_REPORT_OBJECT work fine).
4) Save the file and execute your forms. The Host() built-in will work as expected
The LD_PRELOAD setting in default.env is only required for the working of signal chaining facility in JVM version 1.5 and later. If you are not using theSignal chaining facility, this variable is not required. For more information, refer to the following documentation
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/doc.1111/e14772/forms.htm#CJAJGAFF

Forms application is broken since a java upgrade

All,
our user services center upgraded java on end user desktops.
Since the upgrade to 1.6.0_50, some Oracle Forms webutil calls when running the form via a web browser just hangs the browser. My developers are making webutil calls from Oracle Forms in this application.
We are running Oracle Forms 10.1.2.3 on the Linux Host. There have been NO changes on the server. The only change has been on the client machines where the version of java was upgraded.
I had one of my developers turn on the java console and run the application. It threw the following error in the Java Console:

My question is does each user desktop installation require a jacob.dll? Where should this jacob.dll be located on the desktop installation and can the jacob.dll that is located on my Linux Host where Oracle Forms 10.1.2.3 be used on the client machines?
Please forgive me as I'm a DBA and not an Oracle Forms administrator so my understanding of all of this is a bit sketchy.

Hi Sebastian,
Can you provide us the MOS number for the document you mentioned please?
We are troubleshooting problems with our WEBUTIL forms in our 10.1.2.3 AS in a RHEL environment and have not found a solution yet. What we are running into with the WEBUTIL forms is that they just hang after we call them from a browser window. There is not much information in the Java Console. All I see is:
RegisterWebUtil - Loading WebUtil Version 10.1.2.3
proxyHost=null
proxyPort=0
connectMode=HTTP, native.
Froms Applet version is: 10.1.2.3
We were using JInitiator previously with out 904 forms but are using the Java plugin with this version. And the rest of the forms seem to be working. Our problems are just with the WEBUTIL forms. NOTE We did not upgrade our 904 AS to version 10123. We created a new install and compiled all our forms/reports/pll/menus over in our new environment.
If you don't mind me asking can you tell me if you had to recreate the WEBUTIL schema and its objects after you upgraded to AS 10.1.2.3?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

I have 200 forms designed in Designer 7.1. If I upgrade my designer to ES4, will I face any potential issues? Any one has done it before? what challenges we might face?

I have 100 forms designed in Designer 7.1. If I upgrade my designer to ES4, will I face any potential issues? Any one has done it before? what challenges we might face?

Hi,
A couple of problems we've had is Designer setting strict scoping on by default (it you added dynamic properties to JavaScript form objects as the garbage collection changed) and the way we used 'proto' elements (or form objects that show up under "reference nodes" in the hierarchy)
These blogs might help

Delete button doesn't work in tabular form after upgrade from APEX3.2 to 4

I just upgraded the APEX from 3.2 to 4.0. However, my application is not working anymore.
First of all, my delete button in tabular form is not working. When I select a row and click the delete button, the row is not deleted, however the message showed 1 row is deleted.
Could you anybody tell me how can I debug this problem?
Thanks a lot !

I had the same problem. I first tried the solution above, but that didn't work. I also had a derived column for a custom popup and some display only columns. I removed the derived column and took out the display columns from my query. I then made sure my column order matched the source query. I applied changes and the delete button worked. FYI. I found out by some testing that it was actually trying to delete from the table, but with the wrong id. My first editable field was qty so if the qty was equal to 2 it then tried to delete from the table where pk=2(I had to restore that record). I believe it is related to the bug above. Backup your app first. I always do before I mess with the tabular forms.

Upgrade from 11i to R12 - Custom Forms,Reports and Workflows

Dear Community Friends,
We are planning for upgrade from oracle apps 11.5.10.2 to R12.
We have custom Forms,Form Libraries,Reports and Workflows.
Kindly provide me for approach on how to migrate Custom form libraries,reports and Workflows.
I beleive, this thread will exists as one shot point for custom forms,reports,workflow upgradation from 11i to r12 with detailed steps.
I know that many links exists here in the forum for all the above objects mentioned,but still from all those i am able to get a clear picture for oracle forms but not for custom form libraries ,reports and workflows.
Also,this post will provide a low level,practical picture of the steps for those who are in line with this.
Links i have read for all these in our forum are:
For Custom Forms,
Re: Planning to upgrade from 11i to R12
Re: Custom forms: After upgrading 11i to R12
ofcourse,'n' number of links exists providing metalink notes also.
Hussain,Helios and some others also has given many updates regd this.
For custom workflow upgradation,
Upgrade Workflow 11i to R12
Workflow Upgrade
Workflow Upgrade
For reports,links mentioned the below metalink notes:
Do Not Compile EBS R12 Reports Using rwconverter.sh or Reports Builder from IDS 10gR2 [ID 786794.1]
Using the OracleAS 10.1.2 Forms and Reports Builders with Oracle Applications Release 12 [ID 444248.1]
Per my understanding, after searching in many threads,i am here by summarising the practical low level steps for custom forms migration
Please correct me,if i am wrong.
1) Download the Forms(.fmb's) and all PLL's(all the PLL from resource folder in AU_TOP) into a Local Machine Folder
2) Open the forms using Forms Developer 10G and connect to DB
3) Compile by clicking compilein Forms Developer and then save it.
4) Upload the Saved Forms(.fmb's) into the new R12 server(system) in the respective custom paths(paths similar to 11i Server)
5) Compile all the forms using the command like below(example command is shown below or f60 gen commands or frmcmp.sh utility) in the respective custom form paths,
this will generate the .fmx's.
frmcmp_batch module=FORMNAME.fmb userid=apps/apps output_file=FORMNAME.fmx compile_all=yes
Link for compiling forms: https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/ui/km/SearchDocDisplay.jspx?_afrLoop=359210362972527&type=DOCUMENT&id=1085928.1&displayIndex=3&_afrWindowMode=0&_adf.ctrl-state=c348xvwbg_98
6) Open the form and check in R12 instance
As per my understanding for custom form libraries,we can just copy paste the PLL's from 11i server to R12 server (Please correct me,if i am wrong)
Can anyone please help me out in custom reports and custom workflows.Sorry that,i could not get a practical and clear picture for reports and also for workflow even after referring many threads and metalink notes mentioned.
As for reports,some says that Developer Suite 10g can be used and .rdf can be used in R12.
Some says that reports should be converted to XML published as reports does not exists in R12.
So,i am not clear on this.
Thanks,
Ganesh

Some says that reports should be converted to XML published as reports does not exists in R12.
So,i am not clear on this.You can still use RDF files in R12, and just follow the approach you mentioned above, and you do not have to migrate them to XML publisher (though it is recommended, but this can be done after the upgrade as an enhancement task).
For custom workflow, you need also to do the same thing, open them using workflow builder and make sure they work in R12 (correct the code if required and save them again in R12 once they work properly).

What happens to the form I created with free trial when I upgrade?

I signed up for a free AdobeForms account 6 months ago. In that time I created a really detailed form. I am still able to access the account and the form to this day without any problems. However I now want to upgrade my account so I can do more with the form I created with the free account.
What will happen to my existing form when I upgrade my AdobeForms account to paid subscription? I am assuming it would just remain in my account. However when my secretary called to order the full subscription, the sales rep suggested that the existing form created via the trial would be wiped-out upon upgrading the account.
Is this true/accurate? I do not want to lose the form I have already perfected when upgrading.
Thank you for any info!!

Thanks! Ok... well we're going to order the full subscription now, I made a PDF backup of the web form in case, but really looking forward to not losing the designed form.

Crystal Report Windows Forms Viewer Error in 1 Workstation after upgrade of PL

Hi all,
We just upgraded SAP from 8.82 PL02 to 8.82 PL15.
Afterwards, in just 1 workstation, Crystal Reports layouts have Crystal Report Windows Forms Viewer error I attach.
Before the upgrade this error did not happen.
No permissions or authorizations were changed in the workstation.
The Crystal Reports layouts remain working fine in server and in the other workstations.
In the workstation following are installed:
- Operating System Windows 7;
- Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5;
- SAP Crystal Reports runtime engine for. NET Framework;
- Crystal Report 2008 Runtime SP6;
- Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Native Client.
All, but the operating system, are equal to the other workstations.
User has edit access to SAP folders, temp and access to the attach path.
We already uninstalled SAP client and client agent and re-installed it but with no avail.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance.

Insert in Tabular form does not work after the upgrade to APEX 4.0

Hi all,
Thx in advance for looking into the issue.
We are running into following issue when we upgraded APEX 3.2 to APEX 4.02
1) The Tabular form insert does not work.
2) We are fatching the value of the Global variable APEX_APPLICATION.g_XXXX in a procedure and we get null for this value after submit for new row to be inserted.
The tabular form was working fine in APEX 3.2.
The Update and Delete works just fine.
Any help in this regard is highly appreciated.
Thx and regards,
Mahesh

Here is my workaround to get the ADDROW/SUBMIT working again if you have a legacy Tabular Form:
1     PAGE ATTRIBUTES
          JAVASCRIPT
          FUNCTION AND GLOBAL VARIABLE DECLARATION
               var htmldb_delete_message='"DELETE_CONFIRM_MSG"';
2     DELETE BUTTON
          ACTION WHEN BUTTON CLICKED
          URL Target          change to
               javascript:apex.confirm(htmldb_delete_message,'MULTI_ROW_DELETE');
3     ADDROW BUTTON
          ACTION WHEN BUTTON CLICKED
          Action
               redirect to URL
          URL Target
               javascript:addRow();
4     PROCESS
          APPLYMRU (activitated by button ADDROW)
          CONDITION
               never or delete
5     PROCESS
          ADDROWS
          CONDITION
               never or delete
6     CHANGE PAGE TEMPLATE to e.g. THEME 13 One Level Tabs.
7     IF YOU WANT ADD FUNCTIONALITY TO GOTO BOTTOM OF PAGE AFTER ADDROW
     1. In the page footer put <a name="bottom_of_page"></a>
     2. Amend the action when the "ADD" button is clicked to scroll down to the new region by doing the following:
     - edit "ADD" button
     - Go to "Action when button Clicked" section
     - Amend "URL Target" from
     javascript:addRow();
     to
     javascript:addRow();window.location='#bottom_of_page' ;

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.

Firefox 7 is forcing me to fill out a form field that isn't required. I've used FF on this site for years but when I upgraded to FF7 it no longer works. IE it works fine.

It's our internal applicant tracking systems (resume database). It works fine in IE and all previous verisons of FF but in FF 7 a bubble icon pops up stating that "Please fill out this field".
The field is not required but states "Require all of these words" if you to run a search based on those parameters.

Lots of Receivable forms have the same issue, I have upgrading the ebs from 12.1.1 to 12.1.3 with 2 times, but every time, I have encountered the same issue.
Can anyone have me? it's very urgent for me to finish this task, thanks!
Here is my upgrading process for your reference
1. Installed the EBS 12.1.1 and everything is okay(Create a AR, AP transaction and invoice and post to gl).
2. I have referenced this document to upgrading the EBS

To apply Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1.3, follow these steps:
1） 9239089
2） 9239090（US）， then applied the 9239090_zhs as I have the zhs language on the EBS 12.1.1
3) 9239095
Post-Update Steps
1. Apply post-install Oracle E-Business Suite Applications Technology patches. (Required)
4)9817770
