Forms 6i to Forms 11g - Migration path

Have a customer who is currently using forms 6i and DB 9.X and is willing to migrate to Forms 11g and DB12g.
    Questions
        a) Does anyone know the migration path that should be used?
        b) As far as my understanding it should do both upgrades (forms and DB) at the same time as forms 6i is not certified with DB 12g and Forms 11g is not certified with DB 9.X right?
        c) Any project to use as reference?
        d) Any re-usable?
Regards,
Mariano

Is this an EBS installation? If yes, please note that Developer 11g is not certified with R12 and you will need to use 10g instead.

Migrating forms/reports 6i to 11g

Hi,
Im looking for a step-by-step guide to migrate from form/reports 6i to forms 11g.
I found the document bellow. Can one suggest more resources ?
Oracle® Forms
Upgrading Oracle Forms 6i to Oracle Forms 11g
11g Release 1 (11.1.1)
E10394-01Thanks

I'm thinking no because a large part of it depends upon how the 6 Forms were written.
You probably already have this:

Oracle Doc 207396.1 has some information too.

Historic data migration (forms 6i to forms 11g)

Hello,
We have done a migration from Forms 6i to Forms 11g. We are facing a problem with the historic data for a download/upload file
utility. In forms 6i the upload/download was done using OLE Container which has become obsolete, the new technology being webutil.
We had converted the historic data from Long RAW to BLOB (by export/import & by the TO_LOB) and while opening them it throws a
message or not able to open. This issue exists for all types of documents like .doc, .docx, .html, .pdf. We are unable
to open the documents after downloading to local client machines.
One option which works is to manually download the documents (pdf, doc etc) from the older version of forms 6i (OLE) and
upload it to the forms 11g (Webutil). Is there any way this can be automated?
Thanks
Ram

Are you colleagues?

What migration path from 10.g AS tiers to Fusion Middleware 11g AS tiers ?

Hi all,
We have purchased Oracle AS Enterprise Edition 10g a couple of months ago and
we are currently running the following tiers :-
- one Forms & Reports 10.1.2 AS instance,
- one infrastructure 10.1.4 instance for OID/SSO,
- one OC4J 10.1.3 instance for ADF applications deployment.
What would be the new tiers et their respective downloads to migrate to 11g with AS EE licences acquired and protected under OTS without having to purchase any new products or options ?
-Portal,Forms,Reports,.. 11g for Forms & Reports. (seems clear in the download list).
-What about ADF 11g deployment ? What to download ? (seems to be Web Logic Server in the Required Additionnal software section but not sure)
-What about OID/SSO ? What to download ? (it seems Forms & Reports 11g will work with OID/SSO 10.1.4 but what about ADF 11g apps deployed on WLS ? it is also going to be able register with 10.1.4 ?
Any clarification will be most welcomed.
Thanks.

If you open the project in the 11g preview it will automatically update the metadata and generate the deployment XML in the new format. Alternatively you should be able to open the 10.1.3.3 metadata in the 11g preview's runtime.
The biggest issue you may encounter in the upgrade besides replacing the libraries and ensuring you are using JDK5 is the removal of the code deprecated in previous releases.

Can Oracle Form Builder 10g open forms created with Developer 11g?

Hi,
Two different groups of developers developed forms in both Forms versions 10g and 11g. There will be call_forms between both versions and both will run under the same portal. Production is 10g. Is it possible to open 11g forms in 10g Form Builder? Suggestion/ solutions are appreciated.
Thanks,
Victor

It is likely you will run into issues, so I would say best not to. I have done it a couple of times by accident during migration of Forms 10g to 11g. You can still open and view the 11g forms code in the Forms 10g builder, but will likely see some objects appear as incorrect types. Saving the 11g form in such a state from the 10g Forms Builder may result in corruption.

Please help my Oracle Friends

thanks and regards

You said, "...+I would like to install Release 2(11.1.1.2.0)+ ...". Be careful. 11.1.1.2.0 is not Release 2. The version for Rel 2 is 11.1.2.0, notice that there is one less "1". Also, there is no way to patch from Release 1 to Release 2.
In EDelivery, this is what you should find if you search on "Oracle Fusion Middleware" for "Microsoft Windows x64 (64-bit)":
First look for this link then drill into it:
Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Media Pack for Microsoft Windows x64 (64-bit)
In this section you will find the following:
This is the full product installation of FMw 11 Release 2 (Forms & Reports)
Oracle Forms and Reports 11g R2 (11.1.2.0.0) for Microsoft Windows x64 (64-bit) V28761-01
This is the full product installation of FMw 11 Release 1 (includes Portal, Forms, Reports, and Disco)
Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer 11g (11.1.1.2.0) for Microsoft Windows x86 (64-bit) (Part 1 of 4) V18785-01
Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer 11g (11.1.1.2.0) for Microsoft Windows x86 (64-bit) (Part 2 of 4)
Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer 11g (11.1.1.2.0) for Microsoft Windows x86 (64-bit) (Part 3 of 4)
Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer 11g (11.1.1.2.0) for Microsoft Windows x86 (64-bit) (Part 4 of 4)
This is the FMw 11 Release 1 patch set that will bring the above 11.1.1.2.0 installation to 11.1.1.6. This is NOT a full product installation - just a patch
Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer 11g Patch Set 5 (11.1.1.6.0) for Microsoft Windows x86 (64-bit) V29850-01
There are no patch sets for Release 2 as of yet.

How to get absolute path of a form within the Forms

Aslam o Alikum (Hi)
How to get absolute path of a form within the Forms 6i or 9i
For example
i am running a from "abc.fmx" from C:\myfolder directory
can i get the form path 'C:\myfolder' by calling any any function from "abc.fmb"

There is no direct call that will always work. What you need to do is call get_application_property(current_form). This may have the full path in it, depending on if that path was defined when the form was launched. If there is no path, then you need to use TOOL_ENV.GETVAR to read the Forms<nn>PATH and the ORACLEPATH, parse those out into individual directories and then check for the FMX in each.
I already have some code to do all this for you see:

Deploying forms on Fusion Middleware 11g

Hi everyone! I will post my thread in english and spanish.
English:_
I have developed a simple form using developer 11g on a windows pc, and now I want to deploy it on a SLES10 server that has installed WebLogic Server 10.3/Fusion Middleware 11g. The form just has a button. When a user press it, appears a modal window showing a message (WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED event with a message('') invocation). From the developer´s PC the form works fine, showing the modal window, but when I execute the form from the server using http:\\<server>:<port>\forms\frmservlet?form=<form_name> I see the form in the applet but when I press the button, nothing happens... no modal window, no error, nothing at all. It seems that the trigger is not firing.
Can anyone help me, please?
Español:_
Desarrollé un form trivial utilizando developer 11g bajo windows y quiero desplegarlo en un servidor linux que tiene instalado WebLogic server 10.3 con Fusion Middleware 11g. El form solo tiene un botón que al presionarlo hace un message mostrando en una ventana un mensaje ( evento WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED invocando el built-in message('') ). Al ejecutar el form desde la pc de desarrollo puedo verlo sin problemas así como también su ventana modal, pero cuando subo el fmx al servidor para desplegarlo, lo veo bien pero al presionar el botón no hace nada. Ni siquiera da error... da la sensación de que no se ejecuta el evento WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED.
Alguien tiene alguna sugerencia?
Thanx, Gracias!!

Hi Sid
1. Check if your .EAR file has a .WAR file for the WebServices. It should have a war file. And open war file like in winzip and under Web-Inf you should see a WSDL folder that should have .wsdl and .xsd files etc. Open this .wsdl and look at the URL. Try opening that URL in the browser.
If you EAR do not have WAR file. Select your application -> Right click properties -> Deployment and select your deployment profile and under Application Assembly make sure to check the box for your webservices project.
From Weblogic Admin Console, make sure your EAR is deployed successfully and there also you can expand it and see the WAR module under this. And you should be able to test your webservice wsdl from this war file from one of the tabs in weblogic console.
Thanks

While connecting to the base with the help of Visard I open Oracle Forms Builder by and create a primitive form. Everything is good. All are shown. I press Run Form which is written as Oracle Forms in browser and suggests keeping a clear file. Particularly in applied file!

Thanks for attention.the port which you have mentioned is it WLS_FORMS_PORT or any other.
Try running default Forms port WLS_FORMS_PORT that will be 9001
or check for the WLS_FORMS_PORT in the portlist.ini file.
Also are you getting any exception in the Java console.?
