Forms 9i and OCX Support.

Form 9i de-supported the OCX.
What are the workaround as we use 3rd party Active X in
Forms 6i.
What will involve in upgrading from Forms 6i -> Forms 9i
for above case?
Thanks,
Suresh

At my current project I also encountered this problem, the ocx was custom made though. Our workaround: rebuild the ocx in java. In your case I would ask the supplier of your ocx if they have a javaversion available.

Currently using Flash Pro CS5, getting error when trying to open CS4 file. Error is "Slides and Forms documents are not supported in this version of Flash. Please open in previous version. Has there been a fix or patch to this issue or do I have to convert back to CS4 to open the file?

Having the same problem in CS6. I can tell you that converting back to CS4 will NOT solve the problem. It seems when support for backward compatibility is discontinued, there's just no way to get
any help at all? Absolute failure to provide any user support so far...

Forms 9i will not support Forms 6i functionality (OLE etc)

Reading the latest "Features obsolescence in Oracle9i.pdf" it appears that Oracle intends to make conventional client-server runtime .fmx obsolete in the 9i release.
Does this mean that it will no longer support key functionality in current Forms6i applications, which in our case run on Windows 2000 workstations accessing central Oracle databases?
Some functions no longer supported appear to be:
- native host commands on the Windows 2000 PC
- use of Oracle Graphics
- OLE2 (links to excel, outlook, word etc)
- OCX/ ACTIVE X controls
- not sure about printing to the Windows 2000 PCs local printers from Forms or Reports.
Does anyone know if this is correct, and if yes how long will Oracle continue to support Forms 6i and Oracle Graphics?
Does this functionality need to be re-written using JAVA ?

Lets try and address your questions.
"native host commands on the Windows 2000 PC " - you can still run host commands but you must remember that in a
3 tier environment the code is being executed on the middle tier application server. So a host command to list the
contents of a directory and output to a file would list the files on the app. server and not the client (although in most cases you can
achieve the same functionaliy using a Java Bean and we have published loads of exampled on the forms samples page
website)
"use of Oracle Graphics " -as per the obs paper you can still achieve this on the web but you are also openning up to
opportunity to use a whole host of charting beans.
"OLE2 (links to excel, outlook, word etc) " - you can still use OLE so long as there is not screen interaction - and
remember the OLE will be running on the app server and not the client. If you want to call word and excel you can simply
use a web.show_document("filename.doc") while will open the document on the browser (if you have the correct MIME
type installed).
"OCX/ ACTIVE X controls" - strictly speaking no since these are platform specific proprietary controls and the Forms UI
is running as a Java UI which is platform agnostic. However, we have proved that you can do this by writing a Java wrapper
around the control and embedding that. The Java equivelant would be a Java Bean or Pluggable Java Component which
are dead easy to integrate into Forms.
"not sure about printing to the Windows 2000 PCs local printers from Forms or Reports. " we have a utility orarrp which
can do this and anyway, if you are viewing reports in a browser you can just print from the browser to the local printer.
"ng will Oracle continue to support Forms 6i " client server Forms are support to 2006/2008.
"Does this functionality need to be re-written using JAVA ?" - you can take a client server for and without having to change
a single line of code or even regenerate, you can deploy on the web - its that simple.
Sure, there are some things you may want to re-write but this is the same with any change of platform (infact most of your
questions about OLE, OCX would be exactly the same for moving to Unix/Motif).
Just think of webdeployed Forms as EXACTLY the same as client server except for the bit which draws the UI is on a
third tier, - all the back end database and business logic etc is exactly the same.
I hope this helps and remember that a huge customer base has already moved to the web with great success .
Please ask if you have any more questions.

Upgrade from 11i to R12 - Custom Forms,Reports and Workflows

Dear Community Friends,
We are planning for upgrade from oracle apps 11.5.10.2 to R12.
We have custom Forms,Form Libraries,Reports and Workflows.
Kindly provide me for approach on how to migrate Custom form libraries,reports and Workflows.
I beleive, this thread will exists as one shot point for custom forms,reports,workflow upgradation from 11i to r12 with detailed steps.
I know that many links exists here in the forum for all the above objects mentioned,but still from all those i am able to get a clear picture for oracle forms but not for custom form libraries ,reports and workflows.
Also,this post will provide a low level,practical picture of the steps for those who are in line with this.
Links i have read for all these in our forum are:
For Custom Forms,
Re: Planning to upgrade from 11i to R12
Re: Custom forms: After upgrading 11i to R12
ofcourse,'n' number of links exists providing metalink notes also.
Hussain,Helios and some others also has given many updates regd this.
For custom workflow upgradation,
Upgrade Workflow 11i to R12
Workflow Upgrade

For reports,links mentioned the below metalink notes:
Do Not Compile EBS R12 Reports Using rwconverter.sh or Reports Builder from IDS 10gR2 [ID 786794.1]
Using the OracleAS 10.1.2 Forms and Reports Builders with Oracle Applications Release 12 [ID 444248.1]
Per my understanding, after searching in many threads,i am here by summarising the practical low level steps for custom forms migration
Please correct me,if i am wrong.
1) Download the Forms(.fmb's) and all PLL's(all the PLL from resource folder in AU_TOP) into a Local Machine Folder
2) Open the forms using Forms Developer 10G and connect to DB
3) Compile by clicking compilein Forms Developer and then save it.
4) Upload the Saved Forms(.fmb's) into the new R12 server(system) in the respective custom paths(paths similar to 11i Server)
5) Compile all the forms using the command like below(example command is shown below or f60 gen commands or frmcmp.sh utility) in the respective custom form paths,
this will generate the .fmx's.
frmcmp_batch module=FORMNAME.fmb userid=apps/apps output_file=FORMNAME.fmx compile_all=yes
Link for compiling forms: https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/ui/km/SearchDocDisplay.jspx?_afrLoop=359210362972527&type=DOCUMENT&id=1085928.1&displayIndex=3&_afrWindowMode=0&_adf.ctrl-state=c348xvwbg_98
6) Open the form and check in R12 instance
As per my understanding for custom form libraries,we can just copy paste the PLL's from 11i server to R12 server (Please correct me,if i am wrong)
Can anyone please help me out in custom reports and custom workflows.Sorry that,i could not get a practical and clear picture for reports and also for workflow even after referring many threads and metalink notes mentioned.
As for reports,some says that Developer Suite 10g can be used and .rdf can be used in R12.
Some says that reports should be converted to XML published as reports does not exists in R12.
So,i am not clear on this.
Thanks,

Some says that reports should be converted to XML published as reports does not exists in R12.
So,i am not clear on this.You can still use RDF files in R12, and just follow the approach you mentioned above, and you do not have to migrate them to XML publisher (though it is recommended, but this can be done after the upgrade as an enhancement task).
For custom workflow, you need also to do the same thing, open them using workflow builder and make sure they work in R12 (correct the code if required and save them again in R12 once they work properly).

Hussein

Form 6i and 10g DB

i want to use Oracle text (context index) for searching and oracle text is the best way .. but not im using form 6i and DB 10g R 2. my question is is thier any problem i will face it later while doing my system using context index ?? for example i will use CTXddl package .. can i use it in form 6i or i cant ???
regards,

The first and most significant problem you are faced with is that Forms 6.0.8 is not supported to be used with Oracle 10.2.x. The second problem is that Forms 6.0.8 is obsolete and not supported any longer. Consider upgrading to the latest version before developing new applications. The latest version is included in Developer Suite and Application Server 10.1.2.0.2 (10.1.2.3 with the latest patches installed).

I need to install Mozella Firefox 2.0 to fill out a form that is not supported to input info from the newer version that is installed on my PC. Do I need to delete the newer version before using the older version? If so, how do I delete the new version and install the older version?

If you just need it for one site you can use the portable version of Firefox 2 instead. You can install the portable version on a USB key, or if one is not available choose the custom install and install it somewhere on your hard drive. The portable version will not interfere with your current version of Firefox. You can get the portable version from http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable - the link for Firefox 2.0.0.20 is near the bottom of that page.

Help in Installing Oracle Portal,Forms,Reports and Discoverer(11.1.1.2.0)

Hi,
I am trying to install Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer 11g (11.1.1.2.0) for Linux x86-64.
I have installed weblogic 10.3.5 generic jar file.
When i try to install forms and reports server the configuration step fails while creating weblogic domain.
Please help me installing portal and reports.
Is there any patch i am missing or the weblogic version is incorrect?
Thanks.

You cannot configure Fmw 11.1.1.2 against WLS 10.3.5. They are not supported nor compatible.
If you want to use WLS 10.3.5, you need to "install" 11.1.1.2, but do not configure. That is an installation option. After you have successfully installed 11.1.1.2 you will need to patch it to 11.1.1.6. After patching, you then can run the configuration (config.bat).
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/install.1111/e10421/install.htm#CLINS256
Version 11 is far more complex than previous versions. I strongly encourage everyone to review the product documentation before trying to install. You can also refer to the following MyOracleSupport note:

Your PDF is in web space. That means that to access it you have to use a browser. Today many browsers have a built-in PDF reader that is, well, less than adequate.

Creating form /subform/ and subsubform

hello i need help. i am new comer to web development and my
co has chosen cf
here is a case that i have. please excuse me if it is
unclear.
2 major forms
form1
and
form2
but with in these 2 there are 2 options which makes it of a
total of 4 forms:
with in each form (form1 and form2)
there are ALLOW and ELIMINATE
now it has 2 sets of radio button
and a third one that is not a combination (independent from
the rest of the forms)
that is a radio button that contains also text but applies to
the 4 forms
group1
form1andform2
• form1 ( a text in the first 10 lines of the form
explaining what the form is)
• form2 ( a text in the first 10 lines of the form
explaining what the form is)
and
group2
ALLOW and ELIMINATE
• ALLOW ( this could be form1 or form2)
text from form1 or form2 plus the ALLOW text of 20 lines
under form 1 or 2
• ELIMINATE ( this could be form1 or form2)
text from form1 or form2 plus the ELIMINATE text of 20 lines
under form 1 or 2
group3
which is independent from goup1 and group2
is called
• Manager ( it will have 25 lines of Manager text that
will write under any of the 4 forms selected)
• staff. ( it will have 25 lines of staff. text that
will write under any of the 4 forms selected)
For example
In group1
If the user chooses form 1

In group2

the Dragon was boring. So I hoped that this video game would allow
Allow me to describe to you a particular day in Bruce Lee's

In group 3
Regardless of the combination
If the user chooses
Manager, it will show
The manager has been supportive of this movement for ever

I would forget the whole 4 forms stratagy you have and use a
single flash form that has 4 Tab Navigators or Accordians to divide
up your sections or groups.
The 4 tabs, can detect other form items values and you can
write code to react on those values, this code can open or show any
of the 4 tabs, it can disable everything in tab 3 if either tab1 or
tab2 has a value for instance.
Anyway, take a look at the livedocs.adobe.com for a good
starting point.
have fun

Can forms 6 and 6i software co-exist on a single PC

Can forms 6 and 6i software co-exist on a single PC. If it's not possible, any other recommendations? My developement needs to support a 6 and a 6i application from a single PC.

Developer Forms 6.0 and Forms 6i cannot co-exist in the same ORACLE HOME, but you can install them in different homes. Install 6.0 in the default home and Forms 6i in a separate home.

Try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View My Account (Store > View My Apple ID on iTunes 11) menu option and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that app and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
Some people have had a problem with the 'report a problem' link (it's been taking people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) - if it does that to you then try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

hi

Best option for hosting forms online and archiving the completed forms?

Forgive the length of this post, but I feel it necessary to give a little background information into our problem.
We were looking for a simple solution to a seemingly simple problem: Host ~15 safety forms online for field technicians (electricians) to fill out via their netbooks and submit to some sort of repository for archiving with the ability for the technicians to reopen the forms and make additions over the course of the job / week as well as firing an email off to our H&S rep per form submitted.
Acrobat + Remote Desktop Services (SBS 2011 network) + Reader seemed like a good solution and does work, but it's somewhat cumbersome for the less computer literate techs and proving to be more time in support then we are potentially saving going with paperless forms. This is the system we have in place now.
We initially purchased Acrobat Standard and subsequently upgraded to Professional when we found some limitations we weren't expecting in Acrobat Standard. An Adobe Sales rep also suggested that we check out Livecycle Designer 9, which was included with Acrobat Pro which included even more nice stuff. I started re-authoring the forms in LCD9.
The issue now is that I have Dynamic XML forms with flowed content that cannot be submitted by Reader to sharepoint. Why? You can't reader extend livecycle forms with acrobat, which it is bundled with.....
Why exactly adobe has two different and somewhat incompatible forms authoring tools bundled in the same product is beyond me, especially when one of them requires what I would imagine is an expensive server product to enable it's full use?
So it seems I have a choice between having my employer purchase Reader Extensions ES2 to maintain the nice form design with flowed content, purchasing 12 copies of acrobat to put on the netbooks when Reader SHOULD be all that we need or converting all the dynamic XML forms authored in LCD9 into static AcroForms so they can be reader extended and deployed to sharepoint.
We envision our technicians browsing to and logging in to our hosted sharepoint server, selecting the appropriate form template from a drop down list in a doc library or list, which opens the form for completion in the browser and on submit posts the form to a list on sharepoint for completed forms, preferably with some key fields mapped to custom columns in said list AND with the ability for the submitting technician to re-open the submitted form from sharepoint and make additions as the week / job progresses.
What would be the best option given our current situation and needs? With all due respect, I am looking for suggestions from technically oriented or experienced persons, not sales reps that don't fully know the product.

Ok, so I have done some additional reading and I've found out that Livecycle forms can be submitted via reader without reader extensions so long as the submit is via HTTP Post or as XML data only.
This effectively means you can collect the data from the submitted forms for processing, but you can not re-render the form from the form template and the XML without the presumably expensive server component, Reader Extensions, which for all I know, requires other components to run.
This all seems awfully expensive for a solution to host a dozen or so forms and archive the submissions in one place where they can be re-opened and added to.
I don't undestand why it's so prohibitively expensive to submit dynamic PDF forms as PDF vs submitting static PDF forms as PDF, which can be done with Acrobat Pro all by itself at ~$500.
