Forms 4.5 and Oracle 8i

Hello,
we want to upgrade from Oracle 7.3 to Oracle 8i and we still want to use Forms 4.5.
Are there any known problems using Forms 4.5 and Oracle 8i? Do we need some patches or are there any other things to do?
Thanks and greets,
Markus

I am not sure if the bug will fix all your problems Forms4.5 versus Oracle 8.
There is a problem with new structure of rowid in ORACLE8, comparing to ORACLE 7.x. The problem appears while locking the rows in FORMS4.5.
The best (and maybe the only) way is to start using Forms5 (and higher ) against ORACLE 8.

Hi,
Oracle Forms 6i does not support Advances Security for SQL*Net if this is what your question is. ASO is supported with Forms 9i and above

Hi,
Try the built-in procedure WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT. See some examples in the on-line help of Forms.
You can call this built-in procedure in a Form level trigger , called 'KEY-HELP' (when the user presses the <Ctrl>+<H> buttons) , or if you have a button on the form use the trigger 'WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED'.
Hope the above will help you...

Forms 4.5 and Oracle 9i

Hi,
Can you please confirm if Forms 4.5 is compatible with V9.2 of Oracle Db? We could do an upgrade to Forms V6i however, support for this product is limited to 2008, is this correct ?
Regards
Manoj

Forms 4.5 was desupported about 4-5 years ago - 6i Forms was desupported 18months ago - it is only available with extended maintainance support.
You really need consider going to 10g if support is important to you...

Oracle Spatial and Oracle Forms

Hi,
Does anyone have experience with Oracle Spatial and Oracle Forms?
I have generated a form, which is based on a view. The view uses the mdsys.sdo_relate operator. Somehow I am unable to get the form to perform (to get one record it takes over 20 minutes). While useing sql-navigator to process the same statement it seems no problem. The query that also uses the view, is then processed in 10 seconds.
I also noticed that when text-functions like ' lower' of ' upper' are used to query the view, the query is processed within 15 seconds. If I don't use ' lower' or ' upper' it takes a long time (> 20 minutes) to process the query. Is it possible that this causes the bad performance of the form?
On metalink I have found that forms and spatial do not cooperate because of the pl/sql version that
forms6 uses. There is no solution presented, does anyone know of a work around?
My configuration is:
Oracle 8.1.7 on WIN2K @ PIII-800Mhz 256 Mb memory.
Formsbuilder 6
If requested I can post the queries that I have made.
With regards,

Hello Priya,
Look into the following.
1. Book - Pro Oracle Spatial for Oracle Database 11g by r. Kothuri, A. Godfrind, E. Beinat. This book provides a nice introduction on Oracle Spatial concepts and have examples.
2. Look at the Oracle Spatial & Graph User Guide
2. Book - Applying and Extending Oracle Spatial by S. Greener and S. Ravada. This book provides hands on information for advanced oracle spatial application developers. Practical guide on hands-on examples, Data models and develop cross-vendor database solutions.
3. This oracle spatial forum, once you understand these concepts.
In the future consider Certification on Oracle Spatial 11g Certified Implementation Specialist.

Proxy User - Forms 11.1.2 and Oracle Database (version 10.1.0.5) ??

Hi,
we are migrating from Forms 6i to 11.1.2. Our database version is very old (Enterprise Edition, version 10.1.0.5) because this is the latest version of the DB that Forms 6i runs, and we will migrating to 11g in phases. So 6i and 11g will co-exists for a while (accesing the same DB).
I am trying to use proxy users feature to login to database.
So I did this:
- I created a user PROXY_USR to be the proxy user:
SQL> create user PROXY_USR identified by PROXY_PASW;*
- I grant create session for the user:
SQL> grant create session to PROXY_USR;*
- I changed the application users (eg APPUSER01), to connect via proxy user:
SQL> alter user APPUSER01 grant connect through PROXY_USR;*
The comand in Forms module to login is:
+LOGON('PROXY_USR[APPUSER01]','PROXY_PASW@DB01');+*
The logon built is being performed and the connection being made, without erros.
But when I verify in what user the application is logged on, the result is not
what was expected:
I did the follwing PL/SQL inside Form module:
begin*
select user into v_user_DB from dual;*
MESSAGE('User Connected: '||v_user_DB,ACKNOWLEDGE);*
exception*
when others then*
MESSAGE('ERR: '||SQLERRM,ACKNOWLEDGE);*
end;*
The result from this select, is PROXY_USR and not APPUSER01 (that would be the correct):
*>>Result: "User Connected: PROXY_USR"*
Some more commands that were also performed inside Forms module:
begin+
select sys_context('userenv','current_user') v_current_usr from dual+
MESSAGE('Current User: '||v_current_usr,ACKNOWLEDGE);+
exception+
when others then+
MESSAGE('ERR: '||SQLERRM,ACKNOWLEDGE);+
*>>Result: "User Connected: PROXY_USR"*
begin+
select sys_context('userenv','proxy_user') v_proxy_user from dual;+
MESSAGE('Current User: '||v_proxy_user,ACKNOWLEDGE);+
exception+
when others then+
MESSAGE('ERR: '||SQLERRM,ACKNOWLEDGE);+
*>>Result: "Proxy User: "*
OBS: when a connect via SQL*Plus, in a 11g database (Express), and run the commands above, the results are OK. The
APPUSER01 is returned.
Any ideas ?? I will open a SR in Metalink, but I think they will first request a database upgrade,
which is not feasible for us at the moment ...
Thanks in Advance.
Franco

Unfortunately besides trying on a certified combination (maybe use the Developer Database VM and import the required schemas for trial) and going through the documentation at http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24269_01/doc.11120/e24477/sso.htm I can't offer more. I don't have a 10gR1 database anymore and also I don't have OID to play with.
cheers

Bug in Oracle Outlook Connector 10,1,1,0,2 (1431) and Oracle Forms 6i Rel 2

Hello,
I installed Oracle Outlook Connector. 10,1,1,0,2 (1431)
We are using Oracle Collaboration Suite on a 10g database.
On the Desktop.
I am using.
a) MS/OFFICE Outlook 2003.
b) Oracle Forms and Reports 6i Release 2.
c) Oracle instance client 10.1
d) Windows XP HOME SP2.
What happens?
1) Oracle Run Time Forms 6i and Oracle/MS Outlook 2003 run fine(Work) when I run them ONE AT A TIME!
2) When I run them together(At the same time) I receive this error message. FRM-40735 ORA-06508.
I have narrowed it down to an Oracle Connector 10g problem.
How did I do that?
In XP Home you can create multi-user accounts.
I created a new user account this time I connected to Microsoft Exchange Server 2000.
Results. Oracle runtime 6i works at the same time as MS Outlook 2003.
I am able to use both Programs at the same time. Without any error messages.
Next Step.
I created a new user account and this time I used an Oracle Connector 10.1g for MS Outlook 2003.
Results: Same error message as before. Ran the application(s) at the same time. FRM-40735 and ORA-06508
Please help with any ideas.
Thank you
Dennis

The product managers look through the forum threads periodically. Some more regularly than others. Since I only look at the forum about once a week, I'm probably the least regular of the PMs. Development also scans the forum, but less regularly.
If you have urgent issues that requires action/response from Oracle, it is better to open an SR with Oracle Support.
Hope that helps,

I am running vista, and have the latest version of the dev suite. Does anybody know how I can fix this problem?

You cannot use Internet Explorer on Windows Vista to run Web Forms.
But you CAN run web forms through Netscape or Firefox. But you first need to disable Java in the browser.
And to run OC4J on Vista, you need to set its compatibility mode to Windows XP.
See my notes on OC4J and "Browser Settings" in this thread:

Installation of forms reports and oracle application server 10g

Hi,
I have been using client server till now, now planning to move to 10g. Got the developer suite 10g.
Tell me how and where to install forms/reports and Oracle application server... I mean forms reports should be on developer PC then what about application server? should it be on a different dedicated server? or can i have it on database server?
in case, if I install application server on one server and database is on another server then what about forms and reports?
please tell me which is the right option?

please tell me which is the right option?Ideally, you should have two separate server machines.
One for the database server.
One for the Application Server.
The Application Server is basically used for hosting your forms and reports, so you dont have to place the forms and reports on the developer PC or at any other server.

Oracle Forms 9i and Oracle RDBMS 8

Hi,
Can anyone tell me whether Oracle Forms 9i will work against an Oracle 8 database?
We have an older version of Oracle Forms (Oracle Developer 6i) that I could also try against Oracle 8 but I'm concerned about conflicts with on the client-side with Oracle Enterprise Manager 9i and Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g (I have these installed already).
My organization does NOT intend to upgrade the Oracle 8 production database to a newer release. And yes, we have Oracle 9i and 10g RDMBS in production as well.
Thanks.

I, too, am a little confused. I will be loading Oracle 9i DB Personal Edition on to a Windows XP Professional, Pentium IV. I read in forums that 9i Personal is certified for this particular system whereas 6i Personal Edition is not. Is Forms and Reports 6i certified for XP Professional? If so, can I run 6i w/ the 9i Personal Edition? I am considering purchasing Oracle 9i Developer Suite, but only if it is certified for XP Pro and 6i isn't.
Please advise.
Alta
