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

I have more then half decent results with webcache as load balancer, but it still is a round robin (as mentioned before). This means that a session will not be transfered from one application server to the other once the session has been created.
So far I did not discover any benefits of a hardware loadbalancer over webcache, because (here it is again:) you are not able to transfer open sessions from one application server to the next. This has to do with the Oracle Forms architecture. In fact it is still client-server, only with the application server functioning as extra server ;)

How to install oracle Forms and Report 10g in windows XP OS

How to install oracle Forms and Report 10g in windows XP OS. Already installed oracle Database 10g in my notebook.
It is working good.
please help me this issue.
please give the steps..............
Thanks
Rajeev

Hello Frank,
for development, you need to install Oracle Developer
Suite 10g. This includes Forms and Reports.this topic interests me too, because I've downloaded Developer Suite and Database (both for 10g) from Oracle website, installed them, but I couldn't connect to a database.
What should be done for me to create a database link and be able to connect locally, in my personal Desktop computer? (Not to a server)
Once it was told me here that I should download 10g Database - I did it, and installed it, but it didn't work. Later, some of my job partners said I should install them in a sequence - that is, 1st the Developer, and 2nd the Database. But it has failed too. And I don't know how to configure a database connection.
Best regards,

Forms and Reports 10g run on the other client machine

Dear Sir,
Please tell me how to run forms/reports which is compiled/build in ORACLE 10g.
I mean that I have build some forms and reports in Oracle 10g now I want to run them on another client machine without creating oracle application server. Is there any way to run
As example in oracle 6.0 i we only install forms and reports services at client machine and ours froms/ reports are running. Can we do so in 10g also ??
Please guide me about it.
Ghulam Yassen

without creating oracle application server. That is not possible. Forms 10 only runs in web mode, so you need the OAS with the Forms and Reports sever (OAS Enterprise Edition) or the Forms and Reports 10g stand alone server.
in oracle 6.0 i we only install forms and reports services at client machineForms 6i was the last version that you can run in client/server mode.

How to upgrade froms and reports 10g to froms,Repor 11g on weblogic server

I need to setup a test environment to upgrade Oracle Developer Suite (Forms and Reports 10g) and Oracle BI (Discover) to weblogic. We are using Oracle 10g.
What software I need to install and and in which order? Help will be highly appreciated. Thanks

Hi,
You can find many articles on oracle site for this subject.
However in brief following are the steps
1) Create a directory source,executables,images,reports and logfiles.
2) Copy all your forms, menus and pll's in source directory
3) All your images in your image directory
4) All your reports in reports directory
5) All yuor fmx,mmx and plx in executables directory
6) Any log files in logfiles directory
7) Add path of images and executables directory in FORMS_PATH in default.env
8) Configure your formsweb.cfg as your need.
9) Configure report.conf and rwservlet.properties according to your applications.
10) Make jar of icons say myicons.jar.
11) copy myicons.jar in forms/java directory
12) Check yuor form services if they are running or not.
13) Invoke the URL in internet explorer
http://<ip_address>:<port_no>/forms/frmservlet?form=testform.fmx
I think that's enough from my side.. For more info you can go through the documentation.

Hi,
Is it create any problem if I installed both Report 6i and Report 10g in
a system having 10g database.
What are possible problem that will have to face?

Hi,
There won't be any issues. We are using both in our development machines. You must make sure the tnsnames.ora has correct entries.

Thanks in advance.

Separate products. You don't need iAS to run Forms and Reports on the web. Any listener will do. Here's some additional info: http://www.summitsoftwaredesign.com/articles/article8.html

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.

Apllication executable file of forms 6i and report 6i

hi every one..
i have developed a small application in forms 6i and reports are generated in report 6i.now i want to make a executable file to run my application.
is it possible?if possible how it can be done ???
plz instruct me step wise because i am fresher in this field.

...now i want to make a executable file to run my application.is it possible?if possible how it can be done ???>
No, Oracle Forms is similar to Java in that it requires and executes within a "Runtime." In order to run your Forms 6 application you must have the Forms and Reports Runtime installed on the client computer. Take a look at the following document (Chapter 1.5) for information on "Deploying Completed Applications." Oracle Forms Developer and Oracle Reports Developer: Guidelines for Building Applications

At a minimum, the creation of the TcpClient will need to change its parameter to the name of server you want to use:
TcpClient tClient = new TcpClient("gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com", 25);

Problem on integrating forms 6i and reports 6i on web

Hai,
I am integrating forms 6i and reports 6i on web.if one user access the reports then no problem.If multiple users access the reports on same time the the server is goslow down,some error (memory related) is also coming.Please any body can explain about this problem?.
And tell me i have to use concurrent manager or without concurrent i can solve the problem?.
Thank you....
with regards,
Thivan.A.S.

is your application server big enough for the application you host? Did you test it before going production with a stress test? There are several good white papers from oracle in the forms-section on the OTN.
it sounds, that you run out of memory when starting some reports. Because reports sometimes (depends on the report) uses much more memory than a form you can temporarily run out of memory.
check the memory usage on the server if possible, when running such reports

Running forms 6i and reports 6i from oracle portal

hi all,
is it possible to run the forms and the reports developed in
forms 6i and reports 6i from oracle portal
or
is it possible to export forms 6i and reports 6i into oracle
portal
prabhakaran

Dear Friend,
It is possible to deploy 6i forms & reports by Apache Web
Listener. You will have to edit the httpd.conf configuration
file and add your virtual path as Alias. The Virtual Paths are
/dev60html/
/dev60cgi/
/jinitiator/
/dev60temp/
Reply me if youre are successful.
Thanx.
