It will not work, you cannot directly migrate Oracle 7.3.4 to 10g, you need to migrate it first to 8.1.6 and than to 10g.
Even if you succeed in your database migration your front end version will not work.

How to connect Forms 6i & Reports 6i with oracle 10g R2?

Hey everybody,
I need your help in connecting both Forms 6i & Reports 6i with Oracle 10g Release 2 db, MS Access(2003, 2007) and SQL database(Microsoft Visual Studio 2008). I am a newbie. I have installed all of them on my HP notebook, with Windows 7 Ultimate(32 bit OS) installed. I want to generate forms & reports by accessing data from above mentioned databases. Please provide me with the configuration steps.
Thanks in advance...!

Welcome to the forum ;-)
Please be sure to review the following:
http://blogs.oracle.com/shay/entry/10_commandments_for_the_otn_fo
First, I think it would be a good idea if we can understand why you have chosen to use a nearly new operating system yet install Oracle products that are 10 years old (i.e. Forms/Reports 6i) on it. In general, this is not a good idea. Although running such an old version on Win7 can be made to work, the possibility of having problems is likely. If you are infact new to the product, using a configuration where you are likely to have problems may not be a good starting place. Also, you should be aware that Forms/Reports 6i was desupported several years ago. Documentation and other information is gradually being replaced by newer information, so resources for this old version are going away. The latest version of Forms/Reports is part of Fusion Middleware 11R2 (version 11.1.2.0) and requires WebLogic Server 10.3.5 (or 10.3.6) in order to be installed.
Second, if you decide to stick with F/R 6i, are you planning to run the applications you create in a browser or as a client/server application? This information is important because how you connect to a database will slightly differ depending on which option you choose. Also, if you want to connect to non-Oracle data sources you can use ODBC for client/server or Oracle Transparent Gateway. However, if you plan to deploy the applications using a browser, Gateway is your only option for connecting to non-Oracle datasources. As for connecting to MS Access, I believe ODBC is your only option, so web deployment may not be an option.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/gateways.102/b14270/ch1.htm
There are many other references available. Try a Google search.
As for connecting to an Oracle database, this is generally easy. For the Builder(s) and client/server runtime to connect, add the db information to the tnsnames.ora found in the Oracle Home (installation directory) \network\admin. If you are unfamiliar with what goes in the file you can copy the entries created for your database. The db will have a similar file found in a similar place in its installation directory (Oracle Home). For example, you might find something like this:
ORCL =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = YOURSERVER.COM)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVER = DEDICATED)
      (SERVICE_NAME = orcl)
)Simply copy this information to the end of your tnsnames.ora found where Forms/Reports is installed then restart any running Forms or Builders.

Forms 6i C/S with Oracle 10g Standard Edition

¿Somebody had installed Developer 6i C/S with Oracle 10g Standard Edition on Windows 2000, Windows 2003, Windows XP Professional?
¿What about the results?

I believe this particular combination (6i Forms with 10g database) is not actually supported, so is perhaps best avoided.
My own experience is that these forms run ok against a 10g database if compiled against a non-10g database, but if you try and compile the 6i form while connected to a 10g db, the results are unpredictable - forms which compile perfectly well against 9i fail against 10g, with all sorts of horrible looking internal error codes.

Installing Forms&Report Services with Oracle Application Server 10g Rel 3

Can I Install Forms & Report Services with Oracle Application Server 10g Release 3 some how?
I am thinking of installing Forms & Reports Services in separate home with Oracle Application Server 10g Rel 3.
Does any body has any different idea so that they both can run more smoothly together.
Thanks

They WILL NOT RUN TOGETHER. We have discussed this many times before. They must be in separate homes.

Form login problem in Oracle 10g AS, even form does display

Dear All
We are facing one problem, when we access form with oracle 10g AS, the form is displayed, but when we enter username and password, it doesnt go to the other screen, it remains hang there and doesnt do any thing, neither give any error.
we would appreciate the help.
thanks in advance

Sounds like you cannot connect to the database....
Is there a firewall between the app-server and the database? If yes, could you check with your firewall people that all traffice from db-server is allowed to app-server (from app-server to db-server just 1521, or another port that you used for the listener, is enough)
If not all traffic is allowed, then check the USE_SHARED_SOCKET environment variable (this is the windows name, there is a setting like this for unix too, but I can't recall the exact name by heart. It might be different)

Sqlj runtime error with oracle 10G in Websphere6 or 5.1

We are trying to migrate from oracle 9i to 10G and we are compiled all our sqlj code with codegen = -oracle option.(previously we used to use codegen=-jdbc which for some reason doesnot work).it compiles fine with out any erros.. But when we try to run then get this exception.
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: SQLJ programs translated with the option -codegen=oracle must be run under Oracle JDBC 9.0.0 or higher. If the Oracle JDBC driver is wrapped, then the wrapper must implement all of the oracle.jdbc.OracleXxxx interfaces. Alternatively, you can translate SQLJ programs either with -codegen=iso. java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: SQLJ programs translated with the option -codegen=oracle must be run under Oracle JDBC 9.0.0 or higher. If the Oracle JDBC driver is wrapped, then the wrapper must implement all of the oracle.jdbc.OracleXxxx interfaces. Alternatively, you can translate SQLJ programs either with -codegen=iso.

at sqlj.runtime.ExecutionContext$OracleContext.prepareOracleStatement(ExecutionContext.java:1397)
We are using ojdbc14.jar that came with oracle 10G.
Hope any one can give any pointers.

I'm having same issue - but I'm having it when I try to invoke a method that contains a database Object type from a Tibco Business Works Process called a Java Method.
How exactly do you do the codegen=iso configuration?
I've tried:
1. Project Properties / Compiler SQLJ and then select from Code Generation drop down iso.
2. From Connections / Database / Navigate to package / right-click / Generate Java / Browse to my custom jpub.properties file where I have tried multiple entries such as (by themselves and in some combination.:
- jpub.codegen=jdbc
- jpub.codegen=iso
- jpub.compatible=9i
- jpub.compatible=8i
- compatible=both8i
- jpub.usertypes=oracle
- jpub.compatible=customdatum
- jpub.compatible=sqlj
I've also played with changing from the default some of the Mapping Options in Connections / Database / Navigate to package / right-click / Generate Java / Mapping Options.
This doc here, says that code should change (section 6 JPublisher Input Files - based on configuration of Input files)
Oracle® Database
JPublisher User's Guide
10g Release 2 (10.2)
B14188-01
No matter what I do, the code that gets generate is the same.
Also, the documentation talks about running things from the command line but how exactly do you do that? Do I need to be in specific directory? I tried the c:\ C:\jdev\system and c\jdev\ and c:jdev\bin and always get error message: 'jpub' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
I've built a java client in JDeveloper to successfully call the same method and I don't see the error.

Small Business Server 2003 Compatibility with Oracle 10G, licensing?

Hello all,
Is Windows SBS 2003 compatible with Oracle 10G, I looked at the compatibility and didn't notice it but I wanted to see if anyone here had any experience with the two.

The licensing isn't by cpu slots, it's by the number
of cores times a multipier, which I believe for intel
is .5, so if you have a cpu w/ 2 cores, you would
purchase a 1 cpu license. If you have a quad core
cpu, you would need to purchase a 2 cpu license. I
would definitely talk to your sales rep about this to
make sure the multipier is right (and if it has
changed w/ intel quad technology).Thanks Jim. The multiplier used above for Intel is indeed correct. However, Oracle has (in the last few weeks) introduced the term 'socket' into it's licensing metrics as follows:
"When licensing Oracle programs with Standard Edition One or Standard Edition in the product name, a processor is counted equivalent to an occupied socket. See http://www.oracle.com/corporate/pricing/technology-price-list.pdf "
To quote another source (CRN):
"..Standard Edition was licensed for servers with up to four single-core processor cores. For multicore chips, users could only license it for up to eight cores total. Oracle's formula was to multiply the number of cores by 0.50 to get the CPU license number to determine price. So a four-core box counted as two CPUs.
Now Standard Edition can be licensed on servers with up to four sockets, or four processors running one-, two- or four-core chips (and possibly a higher number of cores)." This source overlooks to mention that the multiplier relates to Intel!

Graham
