Forms 4.5 Oracle 10g

hi everybody :
I have a problem with an application writed in Developer forms 4.5.
This application was working ok with Oracle 9i and Windows 2000 Workstation (32 bits).
Now we migrate the database to a Windows 2003 x64bits and Oracle 10g for x64 and the application simply no compile forms.
Actually we check the application and the compile stops trying to compile a procedure called IM$_Tarifa with four parameters (number, date,number, number) and we are passing the second parameter as sysdate.
The compilation stops and throw me a message saying
Error 313 at line 33, column 5
IM$_TARIFA not declared in this scope.
Error 0 at line 33 column 5
Statement ignored.
I´m really in troubles here because i can't solve the problems that my users ask me.
Any ideas.
I'm using sqlplus 3.3 and orawin95 in a XP enviroment.
Help me please.

You are really out on a limb here (and the limb is being cut off).
How on earth would a company keep upgrading the database, yet neglect updating the client-side Forms application?
Forms 4.5 was desupported years ago, and even Forms 6i is desupported! But you can upgrade to Forms 6i as an interim step, and it will work with the Oracle 10 database.
However you had better not stop there. Move on to Forms 10 as soon as possible.
The migration from Forms 4.5 to 6 is pretty easy -- just install the software, and compile your forms with the new version. Migrating to Forms 10 is a bigger step, since it moves to web/browser only, instead of client/server.
Good luck!

Multiple Forms services in Oracle 10g AS(10.1.2.0.2)

H Friends,
I am using Oracle 10g AS(10.1.2.0.2) for a project A.
Now i would like to use the same application Server for another Project B.
Is it possible to have 2 forms services in the same Oracle 10g AS (like creating our own reports server in the same Instance).
I know we can create our own OC4J Instances but need to know whethere that will create a new forms service which i can use it for Project B without disturbin the default forms service(used in Project A)
Regards,
Arun

Connect form builder to oracle 10g express ?

Hi ,
How can i connect form builder 10 to oracle 10g express ?

error -> ORA -12154That normally means there is some problem with tnsnames.ora :
$ oerr ora 12154
12154, 00000, "TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified"
// *Cause: A connection to a database or other service was requested using
// a connect identifier, and the connect identifier specified could not
// be resolved into a connect descriptor using one of the naming methods
// configured. For example, if the type of connect identifier used was a
// net service name then the net service name could not be found in a
// naming method repository, or the repository could not be
// located or reached.
// *Action:
//   - If you are using local naming (TNSNAMES.ORA file):
//      - Make sure that "TNSNAMES" is listed as one of the values of the
//        NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH parameter in the Oracle Net profile
//        (SQLNET.ORA)
//      - Verify that a TNSNAMES.ORA file exists and is in the proper
//        directory and is accessible.
//      - Check that the net service name used as the connect identifier
//        exists in the TNSNAMES.ORA file.
//      - Make sure there are no syntax errors anywhere in the TNSNAMES.ORA
//        file. Look for unmatched parentheses or stray characters. Errors
//        in a TNSNAMES.ORA file may make it unusable.
//   - If you are using directory naming:

//      - Verify that the net service name or database name used as the

//      - Verify that the default context being used is correct by
//        specifying a fully qualified net service name or a full LDAP DN
//        as the connect identifier
//   - If you are using easy connect naming:
//      - Verify that "EZCONNECT" is listed as one of the values of the
//        NAMES.DIRETORY_PATH parameter in the Oracle Net profile
//        (SQLNET.ORA).
//      - Make sure the host, port and service name specified

You could also try using "<host name or IP address>/xe" as connection string (database).

Cannot connect Oracle Form to my Oracle 10g Database

Hi Guru,
Could you guys help me out on below? I have been running Oracle 10g personal XE edition and Sql Developer on Windows XP. I am able to connect using TNS as connect type when I am connecting from my SQL Developer to my database.
Today, I installed Oracle Forms, Form builders. I choose connect and provide these info
username: my username
password: my password
Database: XE
I received ORA- 12154 TNS: could not resolve the connect identifier specified.
Anyone I doing something wrong?

Hi,
What is your forms version (The location of tnsnames.ora is different for 11g).?
As Baig mentioned, you first need to create an alias in the tnsnames.ora file, like
mydb =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP) (HOST = <your_host_name_where_db_is_installed>)(PORT = <port_default_is_1521>))
    (CONNECT_DATA = (SID = <SID_In_your_case_i_suppose_it_is_XE>))
)Then, from forms you connect like
username: my username
password: my password
Database: mydb <== This is the alias you've created in your tnsnames.ora as above

Forms 6i and Oracle 10g

Hi,
we got a new database running oracle 10g. So I installed the 10g Client on my workstation in a new oracle-home, because toad won't run with a 10g database with a 8i-client. Now I got 2 oracle_homes. I added the entry for the new database in both tnsnames.ora. When I try to run the forms6i-application nothings happens. When I try to connect the Forms6i-Builder with the new database, I got Dr. Watson.
Any ideas?
PS: I got Forms6i Patch 16 installed.

From metalink
Forms / Reports 6i + patchset 16 or patchset 17 is certified to work against Oracle Server (RDBMS)
10g Rel 1
Refer to the Metalink Certification matrices, for example:
- http://metalink.oracle.com
- Click on Certify & Availability
- Click on View Certifications by Product
- Choose Development Tools, click Submit
- Choose Oracle Forms 6i, click Submit
- Choose a platform e.g MS Windows 2000, click submit
- Check the box for 6.0.8.25.2 Patch 16, click submit
The Server column under Application Tier Certifications matrix shows that Forms 6i is certified to work against Oracle Server 10g. This includes the base release of Oracle Server 10g Rel 1 and any patchsets later applied to the base release.
Forms / Reports 6i has never been certified, nor will it ever be certified against Oracle Server (RDBMS) 10g Rel 2. (This is because Forms / Reports 6i is now de-supported - see important note below)
Important Note: Forms / Reports 6i is now de-supported e.g.
- If running in client-server mode, Forms / Reports 6i was desupported at end of January 2005
- If deploying over the web, Forms / Reports 6i (Oracle 9iAS Rel 1 Forms / Reports Services) was desupported at the end of June 2004
This means that Forms / Reports development will no longer provide an error correction service for Forms / Reports 6i (unless an organisation has purchased extended maintenance support) Therefore, Oracle strongly recommends that customers using desupported versions upgrade to a supported version e.g upgrade to Oracle Developer Suite 10g Rel 1 or 2 / Oracle Application Server 10g Rel 1 or 2

URGENT !!!!!!!!!How to pass parameters to Forms from Reports(Oracle 10g)

Thank u for the reply.
Is it possible to pass the variable instead of values.
My report receives 2 parameters named p1 & p2. Actually I want to pass that parameters to the form from the report.
I have tried as You said.
//http/.........&otherparams=param1=:p1+param2=:p2
Then the form receives the ":p1" as the value, it does not take the value of that variable p1.
Please Reply Soon.

2 Forms Services on Oracle 10g AS Release 2

Hi Friends,
I am using Oracle 10g AS (10.1.2.0.2).I have 2 applications to be hosted
I mapped application 1 for the Default report server(inproces report server)
I created one more report server and mapped fror the applicatin 2.
I am able to control both the reports independently
No issues on report server
Same way i would like to have 2 forms services (without using seperate tags in formsweb.cfg) because
I need 2 different icons path for 2 applications
I should be able to bounce the forms services independently application wise (like reports)
Is it possible ? Please recommend the Method/Document.
Regards

There are metalink notes and papers where you can set it up if you want it, I believe this comes with limited support from Oracle though. I personally prefer to have separate config sections, having a second OC4J instance is more administration and resources usage.

Running an Oracle form within a Oracle 10g 10.1.2 Portal Portlet

Anyone figure out how to register and run an 10g form fmx within an Oracle 10 10.1.4 portal portlet?

I don't think you can register Forms as a portlet. We don't have support for that. You should be able to incorporate it into a frame of some sort or another. I am not so familiar with Portal but if there is a portlet type that takes a URL you should be able to supply a normal Forms URL and have it run in the frame.

Enable Tracing for Oracle 10g Forms

Hi All,
When I try to launch Oracle 10g Forms from web, it comes up, displays blank screen and goes away. Same happens for test.fmb.
How can I start tracing on Form Services or Oracle 10g Forms?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

You possibly have a popup or ad blocker active. Forms will most likely not work with a blocker.

Forms6i connectivity with oracle 10g Lite Edition

Dear Sir,
how to connect forms6i with oracle 10g lite edition
Can you tell me the step by step procedure?
Regards
Mukesh Sharma

Hello,
look at this thread: connecting form 6i to oracle database 10G express edition
and this one: Re: Forms 6i on Oracle 10g UTF8 - Problem solved

ORA-03106 Error when connecting to Oracle 10g from Forms 6i

I have migrated my database from Oracle 8.0.5 to Oracle 10g, version 10.0.1.0.3 through import-export utility. During migration, one difference I made was to change the NLS_LANG to UTF8 from ANSI.
The NLS_LANG for client is AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE81S08859P1.
I am using HP ML370 Proliant Server and running Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 3 with Oracle 10g
My client-server application is based on Oracle Developer version 2.1. I am using forms 5.0 and reports 3.0 only.
The problem with me is that the client-server application is working against the upgraded database, but with greatly downgraded speed. The .fmb files cannot be compiled, however some of the .rdf files are compiled successfully, but remaining not.
My question is that is Developer 2000 (Forms 5.0.6 and Reports 3.0.5) compatable with Oracle 10 database, as my application is running very slow ?
I tried Forms 6i to remove this problem. I used Forms Developer 6i Recut version and successfully installed on Windows XP, however, when try to create connection using Net 8 Easy Utility, the connection does not establish with following error:
ORA-03106 : fatal two-task communication protocol error
The entry has been checked in tnsnames.ora and is found correct. I also tried connecting through SQL, but the application closes.
The patch set 17 for installation on Windows XP has also been applied, but still the same error persits.
The same installation has also been checked on Windows 2000, but the same problem persists.
I would be thankful if any one provide me solution for the same. Where I am mistaken and what do I do to get out of this problem.
Regards
Naveen.

Naveen,
Forms 5.0 is not certified and not tested with Oracle DB 10g because it was desupported before 10g got released.
The other problem is hard to give a generic answer for and I suggest to address this to metalink.oracle.com

Problem calling a form from another form in oracle 10g

hi,
i have created A basic STUDENT form with all fields and the STUDENT/COURSES master/detail form .
I am trying to place to button on the STUDENT form that when pressed, will call the STUDENT/COURSES form and automatically query the COURSES for the employee being viewed on the STUDENT form.
here is the code i used
DECLARE
     pl_id ParamList;
BEGIN
     pl_id := Get_Parameter_List('tmpdata');
IF NOT Id_Null(pl_id) then
          Destroy_Parameter_list (pl_id);
     end if;
     pl_id := create_parameter_list ('tmpdata');
     add_parameter (pl_id, 'students_id',text_parameter, :s_id);
     run_product (forms, 'C:resubmission\stucourse.fmb', synchronous, runtime,
     filesystem, pl_id, null);
end;
although it successfully compiled,
when i press the button on the form it is giving me
frm-92101 : there was a failure in the forms sever during start up...
i have tried everything i can think off, am fairly new to this
please any assistance will be appreciated. am using oracle 10g
thanks in advance.

Ammad is right, in order to pass a parameter to another Form, the Form you call must have a corresponding parameter. In other words, if you go to the Parameters node of the Object Navigator you need to add a parameter called "STUDENTID" and set the data type and precision of the parameter to match the data you will pass to this parameter.
Once you have this parameter in your called form, you will have to write code in the called form to use the value of the parameter. This code is typically in the When-New-Form-Instance (WNFI) trigger, but that all depends on your requirements. In your example, this seems the appropriate trigger as your intent is to pass the Student ID and query any Courses the Student is enrolled in. Your WNFI trigger needs to check if there is a value in the Student_ID parameter and then set the default where clause of your COURSES datablock and execute a query on the block. For example:
/* Sample WNFI trigger */
/* This example "ASSUMES" your courses block is called COURSES */
BEGIN
   IF ( :parameter.STUDENT_ID IS NOT NULL ) THEN
      Set_Block_Property('COURSES', OneTime_W.here, 'STUDENT_ID = :Parameter.Student_ID');
      Execute_Query;
   END IF;
END;
Note: I had to put a period into the "OneTimeW.here" statement in order to get the Editor to accept my post. Please remove the period if you use this sample code.
Hope this helps,
Craig B-)
