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

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.

Install Oracle 11i Suite and Oracle 10g on same Server

Hi
We are an Educational firm planning to launching Oracle 11i and 10g.
Can I install both the Oracle 11i E-Business Suite and Oracle 10g on the same Server? If it can What is best configuration for the Server that can I bought?
provide Configuration too.
thanks

"However, I do not suggest any windows platform for 11i as that is not so good os for 11i. You may either go far unix or linux" - 140042
That's absolutely right. It is better to have at least two linux/unix machines:
# 1 machine for application server - admin, web, form, concurrent services
# 2 machine for DB server
If you want, you may integrate Oracle apps 11.5.10 (on #1 and # machines) with OracleAS 10g (# machine).

Business Objects Reports 4.1.6 and Oracle 10g

Hi all,
One of our clients has an oracle forms 6i application and Business Objects Reports 4.1.6 called from forms with host command. We are going to upgrade the forms application to 10g but would it be possible to integrate this old version of BO in Oracle 10g application (and Oracle 10g DB)
Does it exist any official spreadsheet which explains the compatibility of BO and Oracle DB?
Thank you in advance.
Alex

Options
1 upgrade the reports to 10g
2 Implement webutil and call the reports 4.1.6 using host

Forms 6i and Reports 10g

Hello together,
You can see at the subject that I want to combine Forms 6i and Reports 10g.
Why? 6i does not support html interpretation and unicode.
So what do you think about the kombination with old (Forms) 6i and new 10g (Reports)?
How does the Reports published in 10g ?
Paul
ps: sorry for my bad english

Reports in WebForms needs OAS (Oracle Application Server) to be published, they are viewed over the net in a browser.
It's a very bad idea to combine them and most of the things will not work, even if make them work it will cost you lot more than just simply, migrate your application to Froms 10g.
It would be easier for you to migrate your whole application to Forms 10g

How to use Forms 5 and DevSuite 10g in the same machine

Hello everybody,
I have installed forms 5 and IDS 10g in one machine and both the versions of the forms were working simultaneously. Now I have un-installed both the versions of the forms and re-installed in the same machine. Installation was successful. but I am not able to connect to the database in forms 5. It shows TNS could not resolve service name. TNS is created in both the versions with same name as well as different name. The IDS is working fine. Please help.
Thanks and regards
Sukanta sarkar

Sukanto,
What error are you getting? One potential problem you will have with more than one version of Oracle Dev Suite installed is keeping the TNSNAMES.ORA synchronized. I've found the easiest solution to this problem is to add the TNS_ADMIN registry key to each Oracle Home so I can share a single copy of the TNSNAMES.ORA file. You can add this entry by starting the Window Registry editor (regedt32.exe or regedit.exe) and navigate to the following registry hive:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE => SOFTWARE => ORACLE => HOME? (where ? represents the number of the Oracle Home, eg., 0-9).
In your example, Forms 5 should be in HOME0 and IDS 10g should be in HOME1. Open each home and add a new "String Value" and name it: TNS_ADMIN. After you have added the new String Value entry, edit the String Value and enter the path to the copy of your TNSNAMES.ORA that is working. Then do the same thing with HOME1 and exit the Registry. You should be able to connect to your database with Forms 5 and IDS 10g. Normally, changes to the registry do not require you to reboot your computer, but I have seen where this is necessary - though not very often.
Note: Always ensure you have a BACKUP of the Windows Registry before you make any changes. If you uncomfortable modifying the Windows Regisitry, then I don't recommend you make this change.
Hope this helps.

Forms 6i and developer 10g on the same machine

Can i have forms 6i and developer 10g on the same machine

Jacob,
Were you installing any patches to the Forms 6i?? I think your problem was a mix up in the environmental variables.
multiple versions of the same Oracle product CAN* be installed successfully on the same machine, it has been done by many.
Do not generalize one experience, since you are working on VMware, try them on one, it's easy to revert to a snapshot ;)
Install Forms 6i first patch it configure it and restart your machine and install DS 10g, On this machine I have Forms 6i and DS 10g installed at this same moment, and it's been working fine for that last 2 years.

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!

Coyotepoint E350 and OracleAs 10g Hardware Load Balancing SSL

Hi:
Has anyone been successful using a CoyotePoint E350 with XCEL SSL accelerator card and OracleAS 10g with SSL to hardware load balance an HTTPS site?

You're on the right track adding the SSL certificate to the Load Balancer. I'm not really sure what you mean 'without the use of Webcache'? However, if I had the choise, I'd always add the certificate to the Load Balancer.
A good document setting up a load balanced environment is the Enterprise Deployment Guide. Chapter 8 describes the tasks for a Forms environment.

Using Clob with TopLink 9.0.4.5 and Oracle 10g RAC

I am trying to store an XML file in a Clob type field of a DB table using TopLink 9.0.4.5 and Oracle 10g RAC and need some guidance about how to do it. I got some directions to start it with the Tip "How-To: Map Large Objects (LOBs) to Oracle Databases with OracleAS TopLink" but still need some more helps.
When using the Oracle JDBC OCI driver, the tip gives the code block for a Clob field:
DirectToField scriptMapping = new DirectToField();
scriptMapping.setAttributeName("script");
scriptMapping.setFieldName("IMAGE.SCRIPT");
descriptor.addMapping(scriptMapping);
As I understand, TopLink creates instances of the Descriptor class at run time for each of the descriptor files and stores them in a database session, where is the proper place (in SessionEvent of TopLinkSessionEventHandler?) for me to get a reference to such an instance of my Descriptor class in Java code so that I can add the above mentioned additional Mapping? Are the above String values of "script" and "IMAGE.SCRIPT" predefined in TopLink API? Can I accomplish the same thing just using the TopLink Workbench tool instead? If yes, please advise the detailed steps to do so.
The tip also states to call the following code in case of using Clob:
DatabaseLogin login = session.getLogin();
login.useStringBinding();
Should the above 2 lines of code be called after the following lines of code?
SessionManager sessionManager = SessionManager.getManager();
Server serverSession = (Server)sessionManager.getSession("MY_SESSION_NAME");
Besides the above extra coding for the Session and Descriptor Mapping, is there any special handling in between Data model and DB table mapping? Can I map a Java String type to a DB Clob field using the Direct-to-field mapping?
Appreciate any help.

Never mind ....... I had already figured it out .....

Integration b/w uccx7.0 and oracle 10g

hi,
currently i am doing integration b/w uccx7.0 and oracle 10g. i have installed the oracle client 10g . and i added the DSN in ODBC and also the test connection is succesful.. but when i mention the DSN in app admin page (Subsytem> Database). it is showing me error that some of the information is incorrect for the connection. and is not allowing me to add DSN in appadmin page of uccx 7.0.. even though i am using the same information in sqlplus to query the database from ipccx. Do i need to mention sth to make it work.
Regards
Nareh

Hi there
A few things you have to watch out for.
Firstly if you have create the DSN and able to connect to it via the ODBC its more likely that the driver was not loaded correctly.
- Remove the Driver and DNS
- Install the driver again and create the DSN and test if it works
- Reload the whole windows <----- was working on a case for 3 hours UCCX just wasn't loading the new 10g drivers reload fixed this
Now create the database connection and test.
Should this not work you can try the following:

Help building an e-commerce site using DreamWeaver MX 2004 and Oracle 10G

I'm new to using Oracle 10G. After reviewing several rdms's I've picked Oracle 10G as my rdms. I'm trying to build an ecommerce site using DreamWeaver MX 2004 and Oracle 10G. The website will be selling hardware and software products. I have a choice in DreamWeaver to go for a .asp or .jsp setup. I have several questions, here goes:
1. Is there any book/tutorial/whitepaper out there that describes building an ecommerce site using Oracle 10G/9I/8I? Just some examples as how to make the datamodel regarding the shopping basket etc.
2. I prefer DreamWeaver as it let's me make nice looking css style based pages without throttling too much through the code. Are there Oracle tools which allow me to make an advanced nice looking ecommerce site?
I hope some of you can help me get started. Any effort is appreciated.
Cheers

Auditing in oracle 10g database and oracle 10g application server

Dear friends,
We have oracle 10g application server and oracle 10g database server in place.My criteria is to audit users connected using oracle application user credentials to the database.
Can you please tell me how can i do it.
Thanks & regards,

Its the database connection you want to track. The session audit will show where it came from.
Auditing is turned using this command:
alter system set audit_trail = DB scope=spfile;
Note: The use of spfile will require a DB bounce before audit starts
To audit Sessions:
audit create session;
Query by Audit Type:
SELECT A.USERNAME,
OS_USERNAME,
A.TIMESTAMP,
A.RETURNCODE,
TERMINAL,
USERHOST
FROM DBA_AUDIT_SESSION A
WHERE USERHOST = <replace with iAS servername> ;
By User
SELECT USERNAME,OBJ_NAME,ACTION_NAME , TIMESTAMP
FROM DBA_AUDIT_TRAIL WHERE USERNAME = 'SCOTT';
Check for users sharing database accounts
select count(distinct(terminal)),username
from dba_audit_session
having count(distinct(terminal))>1
group by username;
Attempts to access the database at unusual hours
SELECT username, terminal, action_name, returncode,
TO_CHAR (TIMESTAMP, 'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS'),
TO_CHAR (logoff_time, 'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS')
FROM dba_audit_session
WHERE TO_DATE (TO_CHAR (TIMESTAMP, 'HH24:MI:SS'), 'HH24:MI:SS') <
TO_DATE ('08:00:00', 'HH24:MI:SS')
OR TO_DATE (TO_CHAR (TIMESTAMP, 'HH24:MI:SS'), 'HH24:MI:SS') >
TO_DATE ('19:30:00', 'HH24:MI:SS');
Attempts to access the database with non-existent users
SELECT username, terminal, TO_CHAR (TIMESTAMP, 'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS')
FROM dba_audit_session
WHERE returncode <> 0
AND NOT EXISTS (SELECT 'x'
FROM dba_users
WHERE dba_users.username = dba_audit_session.username);
Other audits you might consider:
audit grant any object privilege;
audit alter user;
audit create user;
audit drop user;
audit drop tablespace;
audit grant any role;
audit grant any privilege;
audit alter system;
audit alter session;
audit delete on AUD$ by access;
audit insert on AUD$ by access;
audit update on AUD$ by access;
audit delete table;
audit create tablespace;
audit alter database;
audit create role;
audit create table;
audit alter any procedure;
audit create view;
audit drop any procedure;
audit drop profile;
audit alter profile;
audit alter any table;
audit create public database link;
