Forms 6i vs. Oracle 9i database

I have a program developed with Forms 6i. It runs on a oracle database 8.1.6.
In this moment I need to use a Oracle 9i database.So I made a copy of my 8i db and exported it on 9i database (create tablespace, create user, import dmp file).
Now If I try to start with Oracle 9i database my program
doesn't run (no problems if i run vs. 8i database).
I have no problems when I try to connect with pl/sql.
I start the program with a shortcut :
target : C:\Oracle\OraForms6i\BIN\ifrun60.EXE menu.fmx menu_item='Main001' maximized ='No' Term=abc:
start in : X:\MyFolder\Procs (mapped network driver on
the oracle database 8.1.6 server ).
Could you help me ?
How can i fix it ?
p.s.
I noted this:
SQL> connect user/password@my9idb ;
Connected.
SQL> select * from nls_database_parameters where parameter='NLS_CHARACTERSET';
PARAMETER VALUE
NLS_CHARACTERSET WE8MSWIN1252
SQL> connect user/password@my8idb ;
Connected.
SQL> select * from nls_database_parameters where parameter='NLS_CHARACTERSET';
PARAMETER VALUE
NLS_CHARACTERSET WE8ISO8859P1
SQL>
There are two different value !
Is this a possible problem?
Thanks in advance.

As Frank says, its impossible for us to help unless you can give us more information.. Can you reproduce in a simple Form? Have you debugged to see if its a particular line of code which causes the problem?

    We cannot help if you don't give us the error number that you get.
    Also something that you might want to do is to search this error number on OTN.

    Configure the net configuration for both 9idb and 9ids in the same way. Make sure the TNSlisner is started.

  • Oracle 6i forms issue with Oracle 9i Database

    Hi Friends,
    I am having Oracle Forms Developer installed with patchset18.The Version is 6.0.8.27.0
    When i connect the forms builder to 9i Database (9.2.0.1) the form builder is getting crashed but i am able to connect the forms builder to e-business suite database(9.2.0.6)
    I tried installing 9i Database(9.2.0.1) on windows 2003 server,windows xp,windows 2000.
    When i connect my forms builder to any of these databases the forms builder is crashing with don't send message error on (ifbld60.exe).
    Is there any compatibility issue between forms builder(6i) and oracle 9i(9.2.0.1).Please suggest me.
    Regards,
    Arun .N

    Forms 6i connects to Oracle 9 databases just fine, even though it is no longer certified by Oracle.
    First of all, can you connect to the database with SQL Plus? Make sure that works first.
    The other thing that comes to mind is the AL32UTF8 character set. Forms 6i and other older Oracle software cannot connect to databases using it. But I have only seen that problem with Oracle 10g databases, so I am not sure about the Oracle 9 db.
    Here is a thread discussing the problem: Re: connecting form 6i  to oracle database 10G express edition

  • Cannot connect Oracle Form to my Oracle 10g Database

    Hi Guru,
    Could you guys help me out on below? I have been running Oracle 10g personal XE edition and Sql Developer on Windows XP. I am able to connect using TNS as connect type when I am connecting from my SQL Developer to my database.
    Today, I installed Oracle Forms, Form builders. I choose connect and provide these info
    username: my username
    password: my password
    Database: XE
    I received ORA- 12154 TNS: could not resolve the connect identifier specified.
    Anyone I doing something wrong?

    Hi,
    What is your forms version (The location of tnsnames.ora is different for 11g).?
    As Baig mentioned, you first need to create an alias in the tnsnames.ora file, like
    mydb =
      (DESCRIPTION =
        (ADDRESS_LIST =
          (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP) (HOST = <your_host_name_where_db_is_installed>)(PORT = <port_default_is_1521>))
        (CONNECT_DATA = (SID = <SID_In_your_case_i_suppose_it_is_XE>))
      )Then, from forms you connect like
    username: my username
    password: my password
    Database: mydb <== This is the alias you've created in your tnsnames.ora as above
    HTH

I show him the error but he dont beleived me. I dont know why???????
    is it no longer supported. Please i need your reply. i will print your reply and showed it to him.
    thanks in advanced.

    If he does not believe the error message thrown by Oracle itself, what makes you think he will believe us?
    Anyway, you can show him the Oracle support (Metalink) note 207303.1 and ask him read himself.

  • Can't connect Forms 6i to Oracle 11g on Windows Server 2008 SE

    Hi everyone,
    I have Oracle 10g working pretty well with Forms 6i, but now I have installed Oracle 11g on another server and I'm trying to connect Forms 6i to my other Oracle 11g server, but Forms 6i never gets connected. Is there any trick to make it work? I have check the upper cases and other things related with lower and upper case passwords, but nothinh happens.
    Can anyone please help me?

    Hello;
    Its probably the Oracle client that installs with Forms 6. Try connecting to the database using SQL Plus from a Forms workstation. If it fails I would install a newer client and switch the Oracle Home on all the workstations.
    ( Provided it tests out )
    I would probably try using the Net Configurations Assistant in your Oracle Start Menu group with all combinations I could think of before I added a second client to the mix.
    Of minor interest :

    So I'm sorry to say you are out of options. I also checked the Forms Forum and the few posts there on Forms 6 ( Obsolete in 2004 ) all agree. Forms 6 and Oracle 11 database do not play together.
    I hope at least I saved you some time.

  • Unable to establish a connection to Oracle 9I database from Developer Forms

    I've installed the Oracle 9I database in the Windoes NT server with SID = ORA9i. Using the SQL*plus coming with oracle 9I database, I can connect to the database. I've also installed the Developer with Forms 6I and Reports 6I in the same computer. I tried to establish a connection to the Oracle 9I from Developer through "Oracle Net8 Easy Config". After giving the settings, when I do a connection test, it is giving the error "TNS Could not resolve the Service Name".
    the following is the entry in the 'tnsnames.ora' file
    TEST9I.WORLD =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST = ((PROTOCOL = TCP)(Host = ntserver)(Port = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA = (SID = ORA9i))
    Can somebody tell me how to make a connection from Developer (Forms6I and Reports 6I) to Oracle 9I database.
    Thank you.

    hi matz,
    i tried this one too, but it is not working. giving the same error. if i've making a connection thru the 'Oracle Net8 easy config', it is giving the following error at time of connection test.
    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.
    this is the message i'm getting. but i couldn't find any error in the fields i entered.
    if i'm editing the 'tnsnames.ora' file and make the connection, and when i open the Form builder and try to connect to the database, it is giving a memory error.
    the instruction at "0x67614f04" referenced memory at "0x000000160". The memory could not br "written".
    i don't know why it is happening. i can connect from the same forms to Oracle 8i database. is there any additional settings we need for Oracle 9i on windows platform?

  • Oracle Forms 6i client/server against an Oracle 10gR2 database

    Hello
    We have the following situation:
    Oracle Forms6i/Reports6i client server application against an Oracle 8i cost-based database. we want to migrate this application
    step 1:
    Migrate the database to 10gr2, but do not touch the client application
    Go live
    step 2:
    Migrate the development environment to 6i webforms.
    Production environment stays client server.
    With this construction we can still create new patches/functionality.
    step 3:
    Migrate to Forms10gR2 (and reports)
    I know Forms 6i is not supported anymore.
    My question is on step 1.
    When I read NOTE: 338513.1 entitled "Is Forms/Reports 6i Certified To Work Against Oracle Server 10g Rel 1, Rel 2 or 11g?" carefully
    it says that Forms 6i is not certified against 10gR2.
    On OTN I read several posts that this works ok (assuming you do not use the wrong character set).
    I also read on OTN that patch 18 (which is only supported for EBS customers) is certified against 10gR2.
    The questions:
    - Is Oracle Forms patch 18 certified against an Oracle 10gR2 database? (or only for EBS)
    - Is there anybody out there that can confirm that Oracle Forms 6i C/S works against Oracle 10gR2
    Regards Erik

    Thank you.
    Now I found it.
    But how do I read that page.
    It says:
    Client Certifications
    OS      Product      Server Status
    XP      6.0.8.27.0 Patch 18      N/A      Desupported
    Application Tier Certifications
    OS      Product      Server      Status      
    XP      6.0.8.27.0 Patch 18      9.2      Desupported
    XP      6.0.8.27.0 Patch 18      10g      Desupported
    I read this as follows:
    Patch 18 was certified agains a 10g database in a webforms environment.
    No client server mentioned and Server 10g , so no 10gR2!
    I'm I right?

  • How to connect oracle forms 10g with oracle 10g express database?

    Hi all,
    I have downloaded and installed oracle forms 10g and oracle database 10g express, when I open net configuration assistant to test local net service, I tested the default service (EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA) BUT THE RESULT IS "ora-28547 connection to server failed probable oracle net admin error"
    How can I solve this issue?
    My tnsname.ora is located in c:\DevSuiteHome\network\admin\tnsnames.ora, and its contents is:
    # tnsnames.ora Network Configuration File: c:\DevSuiteHome\network\admin\tnsnames.ora
    # Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
    EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
    (DESCRIPTION =

    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SERVICE_NAME = PLSExtProc)
    Edited by: user10228498 on Jan 21, 2011 11:37 PM

    I copied the contents of C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\NETWORK\ADMIN\tnsnames.ora and appended it to C:\DevSuiteHome\NETWORK\ADMIN\tnsnames.ora
    and tried net configuration management to test local net service, the test was ok, thus the first problem resolved.
    but the login problem in forms developer still exist and it claims that: ora-12154 tns could not resolve the connect identifier specified.
    any ideas?

  • Connecting form 6i  to oracle database 10G express edition

    I am unable to connect forms 6i to oracle database 10G express edition.
    form builder closes without any message.

    Hi, i was try that solution, but have some problem.
    1) I have stopped other database (Oracle 8i, OracleService + Listener), none Oracle service was running.
    2) I was install Oracle XE Univ.
    3) Run sqlplus from XE
    "D:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\BIN>sqlplus system/PASSWORD@xe as sysdba"
    4) Shutdown immediate - OK
    5) Startup mount - failed
    SQL> startup mount
    ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor
    6) I was check registry "hkey_local_machine\software\oracle" and delete key "local" (walue was set to connection to 8i database).
    7) I was checking status of Listener from XE (after shutdown).
    "Listening Endpoints Summary...
    (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=ipc)(PIPENAME=\\.\pipe\EXTPROC_FOR_XEipc)))

    The command completed successfully"
    Have anyone suggestion how to connect "directly" to XE (without @CONNECTION string) ?
    If source of problem can be having DB 8i installed on same machine ?
    BBye.

    Forms 6i is not connecting with Oracle 11g database?
    How to resolve this issue?

    Hi,
    Once you installed the Forms and Reports, you need to configure the paramters like tnsnames.ora in you path.
    There will be one folder in the Installation path of Forms and Reports search for tnsnames.ora file..and you need to Updated the file as per the which ORACLE Server you are connecting and then try.. it..
    Default path for forms will be "ORACLE_HOME/net80/admin".. search for tnsnames.ora and modify it..
