Forms 6/6i against Oracle 8iLite?

Is it possible to run forms against Oracle 8i Lite?
Do I need Net80 connection or is sufficient
ODBC one?
Thanks.
Gianluca

Mi hanno detto che h possibile via ODBC.
Oracle 8i Lite non supporta PL/SQL.
Forse trovi di meglio nel gruppo di discussione su Oracle 8i Lite oppure nelle note tecniche sempre di Oracle 8i Lite.
Spero d'esserti stato d'aiuto.

Oracle Forms 6i and database oracle 11g

Hello!
Today we have Oracle Forms 6i running against databse 9i. We are in the process of upgrading our db to 11g.
Will our Forms application still work? What steps do we need to do to make it work?
Any input is valuable.
We have the same quetsion oabout Oracle reports 6i.

Hello,
I you follow the Note:338513.1 on Metalink, you can see the following:
Forms / Reports 6i patchset 16 or patchset 17 was certified to work against Oracle Server (RDBMS)+
+10g Rel 1 (10.1.x)+
Forms / Reports 6i has never been certified, nor will it ever be certified against Oracle Server (RDBMS) 10g Rel 2 (10.2.x) or Oracle Server (RDBMS) 11g (11.x).
+(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

Oracle 8iLite / Oracle Developer 6.0

I would like to know if it is possible to install and run Oracle 8iLite and Oracke Developer 6.0. In other words I would like to connect to a local database using Oracle Developer 6.0.

Hi Gerry,
I've installed Oracle 8i and now i'm developping forms using developper 6. Your connect string should be something like this:
user = scott
password = tiger
database = odbc:polite
Good Luck

Embedded SQL against Oracle Question

Software: Forte 3.0.J.
Server Platform: HPUX 10.2
Database: Oracle
Problem Description: During the course of development, I ran into a
problem using multiple columns in an sql UPDATE/SET statement. I was trying
to update a.COLUMN_1 and a.COLUMN_2, which constitute part of the primary
key of associative TABLE_A (a). In order for me to make the update, I
needed to use the existing value of a.COLUMN_1 to lookup the new b.COLUMN_1
in TABLE_B (b). Where a.COLUMN_1 = b.RELATED_COLUMN_1, I am able to find
each b.COLUMN_2 that correspond to each a.COLUMN_2.
I was able to resolve the issue by separating the two columns so
that each had it's own select statement. Theoretically, it appears that
this shouldn't work, because the SET statement for a.COLUMN_1 would cause
the a.COLUMN_1 reference in the select statement of a.COLUMN_2 to be
overwritten.
In spite of this, I tried it, and it worked. I would like to
understand why the sql works, and how sql actually executes the statement.
Here is the sql:
UPDATE TABLE_A a
SET a.COLUMN_1 =
(SELECT DISTINCT b1.COLUMN_1
FROM TABLE_B b1
WHERE b1.RELATED_CASE_ID =
a.COLUMN_1 AND
b1.RELATED_COLUMN_TYPE_CD = 'NEPHI'),
a.COLUMN_2=
(SELECT DISTINCT b2.COLUMN_2
FROM TABLE_B b2
WHERE b2.RELATED_COLUMN_1=
a.COLUMN_1 AND
b2.RELATED_COLUMN_TYPE_CD = 'NEPHI' AND
b2.RELATED_COLUMN_2= a.COLUMN_2)
WHERE a.COLUMN_1 = 100
The table structure is as follows:
TABLE_A: (primary keys are bolded) This is an associative table.
Column_1 and Column_2 comprise the pk of one table; Column_3 and Column_4
comprise the pk of another table. Assume that the Column_1 and Column_2
values replacing the original values already exist in the parent table of
which they form the pk).
COLUMN_1
COLUMN_2
COLUMN_3
COLUMN_4
COLUMN_5
TABLE_B: (primary keys are bolded) This is a reference table.
COLUMN_1
COLUMN_2
RELATED_COLUMN_1
RELATED_COLUMN_2
RELATED_COLUMN_TYPE_CD

If you do an explain plan or set autotrace on against this update statement,
you'll find that the select operations are actually executed first by Oracle
- I believe because of the nature of the transaction. Thus, no problem.

Problem about using Oracle Form 6i to connect Oracle Database 10g express.

Sorry to interrupt all of you.
I have encountered a problem about using Oracle Form 6i to connect Oracle Database 10g express.
As I would like to
I use Oracle Net8 Easy Config to create a connection.
According to "tnsnames.ora", the paramater of connection is as follows;
XE =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 127.0.0.1)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = XE))
Unfortunately, when I use Oracle Net8 Easy Config to test the connection, an error message is prompted as follows:
Connecting....
The test did not succeed.
ORA-03106: fatal two-task communication protocol error
There may be an error in the fields entered
or the server may not be ready for a connection.
You can check the server and retry, or continue.
After I google it, I still have no idea how to solve the problem. I would like to ask, could anyone mind providing some hints or solution to address the issues.
Thanks for your assistance in advance.

I don't believe the Net8 Easy Config (NEC) will create a compatible entry in the tnsnames.ora. I have Forms 6i running successfully against a 10g Express database, but I did not use the NEC - I created the entry myself. Here is the entry I use:
XE=
(DESCRIPTION=
 (ADDRESS=
 (PROTOCOL=TCP)
 (HOST=<<servername or IP address>>)
 (PORT=1521)
 (CONNECT_DATA=
 (SERVER=dedicated)
 (SERVICE_NAME=XE)
)Hope this helps,
Craig B-)

Upgrade from Forms 3.0 to Oracle Forms 9i

Hi,
I have a requirement to upgrade Forms 3.0 to Oracle Forms 9i. Please suggest the best approach for the migration. It would of great help if you could provide some details on the following:
1. Approach for migration (Whether to convert from 3.0 to 6i first and then from 6i to 9i (or) direct conversion )
2. Common problems that may be encountered during the migration
3. Performance of the migrated application against the original one.
4. Effort that may be involved to convert an application containing around 300 forms.
Thanks in advance for your help!!!
Regards
Sankar

Sankar,
A lot depends on the triggers in the form. If they are Version 2-style triggers, you are basically going to have to reinvent the logic using 9i triggers. I don't think 9i supports Version 2-style triggers at all. (I think 6.0 did and 6i might, but it was deprecated - and removed in 9i as I recall).
This will be a fairly significant effort. I don't know if you're familiar with these early versions of Forms at all, but in Version 2 there was no such thing as PL/SQL so the triggers consisted of a series of steps on each event, and a macro-style language. Each step had a "True" branch and a "False" branch to handle flow when you tested conditions, and so on. So if you want to try to recover the code and create it in PL/SQL triggers, you'll need to have someone who can read it, or try to find the old doc and study up on it.
In addition, later versions of Forms have added many triggering events - including all of the "When-" triggers. Much of the code that occured in a Post-Change trigger in v2 and v3 should now be done in a When-Validate-Item trigger, for example.
So the trigger migration may be your biggest headache. You don't say whether the 9i forms will be run on the web, etc. But to me, laying out the fields on a canvas is the easy part - that you can easily do in a new form rather than trying to migrate. It's the trigger code you need to migrate, and that may be tough if they used V2-style triggers in the 3.0 Forms.
Hope this helps.

Forms 4.5 and oracle 8 compatibilty

We are still working with oracle7.3.4 and forms 3. Now we are upgading to forms 4.5 and in the future we will upgrade to oracle8. I would like to know whitch vertions are compatble (oracle and developer)

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.

Migration MS ACCESS FORMS and Reports to Oracle (Java or Forms or Reports)

Hello ,
can someone tell me, how i can migrate a whole MS ACCESS 2000 mdb (with forms and Reports) to Oracle.
I think i have first migrate the Access DB with the OMWB to Oracle and in the next Step to convert the VBA Code to JAVA or Forms9i.
BUT Is there a tool available for Migrating VBA code like the OMWB ????

I don't know if this is an obvious question, but do you have MS Access 2k installed on the machine you are trying to run this from? I'm assuming yes.
If you do and there is still a problem, you should log a ticket for support who will take your mdb and help out with the issue for you.
Many thanks
Barry

Problem with execution of a forms in Intranet (IAS oracle Server)

Hi every body!!!!
I have a serious problem, that i could not resolve for more than a week, it's awfull!!!
my problem is that i have compiled certains forms V6 in IAS oracle server with using the command f60gen, when i call certain of my forms from a menu in intranet, they could not be executed, even if every things is compiled correctly!!!
Just a precision: the forms that i wanted to excute, calls another forms at the end of the trigger "when-New-Form-instance"
another thing: i have released that only the forms that call other forms, that could not be called from my menu, all other simple forms are accessed correctly!!
Can some help me please!!!!!!
thank you so much for your help,
Reda

Thank you for your answer, but i will explain much more my problem:
From my intranet, I have a menu in which a call my forms, and there are two possibilities:
The first: there is a direct call to a Form in this case it is okay.
The second case: there is a call to a Form A that will call a Form B.
in the form A: there are just some initialisations to global variables and at the end there is a call to A form B in the trigger 'when-new-instance'
I deployed theses forms in two machines, it worked in one machine, but didn't work in the second machine, so i compared the configuration of the two machines but i didn't find any difference!
Just a precision: I have deployed Forms version 6, because i have upgraded them from the version 3.5 to 6 and the old versions work fine in the two machines.
Thank you very much for any suggestions

OLEDB 8i against Oracle 9i Database

Is it recommended to use Oracle Provider for OLE DB 8i driver against Oracle 9i Database server?
Does anyone have an official Oracle link whether this is supported or not.
Thanks
Dipak

Assuming you have an 8i client, this is a supported configuration. It new 9i features require some additional client coding, you may not be able to access them from the 8i client. I doubt you'd hit any of these issues since you're using OLE DB, though.
Unfortunately, I'm not aware of an official Oracle link that explains the policy. There is probably some note on Metalink that explains it.
