Forms 6i and Oracle XE Production

Hello,
I need some help here. I know that forms6i is not supported any more, but Forms 6i Patchset 17 worked with Oracle XE Beta.
Now, that the production version is available, it seems not to work. I cannot connect to the database.
I have tried to recplace the oci.dll from db home to forms home, but still does not work. Please, if anyone can help me!

I can't get this to work on my developers laptop.
Forms6i was installed and then XE last. Patch 17 was applied to Forms
C:\orant\NET80\ADMIN updated with the XE entry.
C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\network\admin
I commented out the SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (NTS) in the SQLNET.ORA file
I restarted the listener for XE and then tried to connect to the database via forms builder and SQLPLUS80
ORA-12571: TNS packet writer failure
I turned on tracing for XE and tried to connect via forms builder again. The same 12571 was displayed and in the log file there was an ORA-12502 TNS:listener received no CONNECT_DATA from client
The XE version is Western. One thing I did note is that the Forms NLS_LANG registry entry is AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE81508859P1 while the XE NLS_LANG registry entry is AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252
Potential Issues: Windows Media Center Version 2002 SP 2
McAffee Security Center including Firewall (he isn't willing to un-install). I have try to disable the firewall and even shutdown McAffee altogether but nothing is working on that front.
Looking for some direction on where to look and try next.

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.

API Doc for oracle.forms.ui and oracle.ewt available (Forms 9.0 PJC)?

Hi there,
where can I get the Java Docs for the oracle.forms.ui and oracle.ewt Packages for implementing Forms 9.0 PJC?
Where can I get more docu about building PJCs? Found already some samples and
Thanks, Markus

At this time, the JavaDoc for these classes is not available.
As a general rule you will find that the Methods and properties of the underlying oracle.ewt.* classes closely mirror the equivilent java.awt.* classes, so you should be able to gain a bit more information that way.
And yes setDropDownVisible does pop the combo list down, but it's a protected method which might be why you're having problems with it?
- Assuming you are having a problem with it...

Hello,
I just solved this problem on my computer.
Windows 7 comes with only one "Voice" installed. "Microsoft Anna - English (United States)" I'm not sure what you get if your in another country.
You can test your "Voice/Voices" by running Microsoft Narrator. Click [Start] button and type "Narrator" in the [search programs and files] box. Press [Enter]. Your computer should begin talking. Click [Voice Settings] button to see a list of installed voices. Take note of the voices listed. "Mine has just the one."
Adobe Reader must have a voice selected that you have installed. To verify your settings Run Adobe Reader. From the top menu click [Edit] then click [Preferences] at the bottom of the list. In the Preferences window click [Reading] from the left hand list. Find "Read Out Loud Options" Un-check [Use default voice] Choose a voice from the drop down menu that you have verified is installed on your computer. Click [OK]
My Adobe Reader had 4 voices listed to choose from. I found this curious because I only have one voice.
Hope that helps.

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.

Slow Problems with Oracle Forms 10g and Oracle Database 11g

Hi, I wonder if there is a compatibility problem between Version 10.1.2.0.2 32 Oracle Forms and Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production. This is because my application runs correctly on a version of Oracle Database 10g, and when we migrated the database to an Oracle Database 11g, slowness problems came out.
Thanks.

We have the same issue happening with our custom forms and with some of the standard forms in EBSO. So far we have found that the form invoking a view causes ridiculous slowness in opening the form (40 mins). Using a table access has shortened the open time significantly. At this time Oracle DBAs at OOD have no clear idea why it is happening.
we are on 11.1 database with 11.5 EBSO

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

Forms Modernization and Oracle ADF seminar, 6th June 2011

Oracle parter iAdvise and Oracle Product Management will be presenting a modernization seminar on the 6th June 2011. Full details of the event can be found here:
http://blogs.oracle.com/grantronald/2011/05/seminar_on_forms_modernization_and_adf_june_6th.html

Thanks for the reply.
I have the sample app and it works great. But I'm trying to re-create the OraMagMirrorTaskFlow from scratch. ie not starting from the starter-app.
This part of the app has the EventHandler which is deployed as an adflib into the consumer app. The OraMagMirrorTaskFlowConsumerApp looks like a normal ADF Fusion Web app.
I don't think it (OraMagMirrorTaskFlow) can be a ADF Fusion Web app because these always have a model and viewController project. The starter-app
(OraMagMirrorTaskFlow) only has a single project, which is why I think it was created as a Custom App.

Forms 6i and oracle database 7

I have an oracle database 7 (not personal) and I want to know if forms I will work fine with it.
If somebody have any information about it please let me know

Hay
its FAHAD AZIZ KHAN from PAKISTAN-KARACHI
i have implemented it several times on my clients
who loves Windows98.
You have nothing to do so just install the databse
firstly and then Dev6i on the same DB home.
if u install Dev6i in seperate home u have to start
dtabase first before connect from the FORMS.
Some its also required to make a
connect Srting(through Net Easy Config).
All the work is so easy.
I have several times utilize it on NT based systems.

Forms 6i and Oracle database 10g compatibility

Hi all,
We have application on Forms 6i (client/server) using ORACLE database 8i, looking for an upgrade of database to 10g version. Based on earlier threads on this topic Forms 6i is certified with patchset 17, i couldn't find this patchset on metalink.
Can someone confirm when to expect patch 17, as i see the ECS will end by 01/Jan/2005.
Thanks,
Lokesh

We completed certification for 10g with patch 16 so you can use P16

Forms 6 and Oracle 8.1.6

When lauching Forms 6.0.5.0.2 (runtime) it immediately closes again.
We're using Oracle 8.1.6 on W2k machines.
Does someone got any idea how to solve it ?

I had this once, and I used forms runtime diagnostics output to find out what it was executing immediately before it fell over. I couldn't see what was wrong with the offending code, but wrote it differently and fixed the problem.
If you don't know about F.R.D, try looking at diagnostics in form builder on-line help index.
