Forms and Reports 6i Minimum requirements

What is the suggested minimum requirements as far as CPU speed and Ram for end-User PCs' when running Oracle Forms 6i runtime applications?
Not Developer Workstation.
Thanks

First you install the fusion middleware software for Forms and Reports,
after that you have to configure a WebLogic domain for Forms and Reports.
The installation step, creates a directory structure within your
weblogic home directory. This also contains the other software
components.
After the installation step you configure your domain, in which
you choose the products which you want to use.
Steps:
- Install WebLogic Server
- Install your Fusion Middleware product, in your case the forms, reports etc. installation
- Configure your domain.

Are Forms and Reports used in eBusiness Suite?

I am new to eBusiness Suite. I have a myth about whether eBusiness Suite is all written by Oracle Forms and Reports. If yes, are these Forms and Reports source code supplied to the customer for customisation?
Any help is welcome.

Hi,
The EBusiness Suite combination of forms/reports/jsp.
the forms/reports are module specific. Each module having its own forms and reports. With standard installation of Ebusiness suite you will get standard forms and reports. on demand requirement the reports/forms will change in display.
the binary forms with extention of .fmb,
reports with extention of .rdf

Installation Requirements for Oracle Apps Forms and Report Services OEL

Hi all.
Where can i find detail information about the installation requirements for Oracle Application Server Forms and Report Services under OEL 4 (Oracle Enterprise Linux) or OEL 5?
It seems there's only information about Oracle Application Server in general, not the reduced or partiuclar distribution, Forms and Reports Services.
Thanks in advance ....!

I already saw the documentation for Forms and Reports Services Installation.
This thread is about the specific requirements, if any, for this product on OEL 5 or OEL 4.
See, there's a note on Metalink(546174.1) regarding some specific issues about installing Oracle Application Server on OEL5, but i'm not sure if this involves Oracle Application Server Forms and Reports Services.
The idea is to know if these issues applies to this specific distribution .
Hope you understand my question now. Thanks in advance

How to deploy Forms and Reports from 6i to Web Base

I am using Forms 6i in client/server mode, I want to upgrade my platform to Forms 10g web base. I know that I have to install Application Server, however, I found that there are so many options in the download page, and, I can only find the WebLogic Server.
I only need to deploy Forms and Reports, what is the minimum requirements (I means what Oracle software) I have to purchase.
Can you provide also the download link? any document can teach me how to deploy Forms and Reports? (only Forms and Reports)
Thanks a lot !!!

From download page http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/htdocs/101202.html you can choose Forms & Reports Services Standalone .

System setup/installation to use Forms and Reports 11g

We are a high education organization. We recently get a request from faculty to create an Oracle environment for academic purpose. We have Oracle database 11g installed on a Windows 2008 R2 64bit server. Faculty require to use Froms and Reports 11g. My questions is what will be the basic minimum set up to make that happen? Can we also install the WLS with Forms and Reports on the same server that the database is on, then only install Forms and Reports client part on user workstations? Can somebody provide any documentation that can help on this issue? Thanks.

Michael Ferrante's post in this thread has a list of useful documents
How to run Oracle Forms app on local PC?
For your server configuration you should be looking for the Windows 64 bit version of Weblogic Server and Forms.
> My questions is what will be the basic minimum set up to make that happen?
The system requirement guide in the link above will have all the information you need
> Can we also install the WLS with Forms and Reports on the same server that the database is on
Yes, assuming your server meets the combined requirements for both products, although I prefer to keep them separated for ease of administration.
> ..then only install Forms and Reports client part on user workstations?
For Forms 11g there is no installation required on the client to run forms applications (other than JRE). However if the user workstations will be used to run the forms builder and reports builder used to create the forms and reports modules, you will need to install Weblogic and Forms (Developer install type) on each workstation.
One note of caution: Forms 11g is extremely sensitive to the versions of the components - Weblogic Server, Forms, Java, Internet Explorer, etc. I would use only the versions certified in the certification matrix in the link above.

Forms and Reports: Automated Test tools - functionality AND performance

All,
I'm looking to get a few leads on an automated test tools that may be used to validate Oracle forms and reports (see my software configuration below). I'm looking for tools that can automate both functional tests and performance. By this I mean;
Functional Testing:
* Use of shortcut keys
* Navigation between fields
* Screen organisation (filed locations)
* Exercise forms validation (bad input values)
* Provide values to forms and simulate user commit, and go and verify database state is as expected
Performance Testing:
* carry out tests for fixed user load
* carry out tests for scaled step increase in user load
* automated collection of log files and metrics during test
So far I have:

Thanks in advance for your response.

Configuration:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux x86-64 architecture v4.5 64 bit
Oracle Application Server 10.1.2.0.2 ( with patch 10.1.2.3 )
Oracle Developer Suite (Oracle Forms and Reports) V10.1.2.0.2 ( with patch 10.1.2.3 )
Oracle JInitiator 1.3.1.17 or later
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6

are there any tools for doing this activity like oracle recommended tools?
Your question is unclear. As IK mentioned, the only tool you need is a new version of Oracle Forms/Reports. Open your v10 modules in a v11 Builder and select Save. You now have a v11 module. Doing a "Compile All PL/SQL" before saving is a good idea, but not required. The Builders and utilites provided with the version 11 installation are the only supported tools for upgrading your application. If you are trying to do the conversion of many Forms files in a scripted manner, you can use the Forms compiler in a script. Generating new "X" files will also update the source modules (fmb, mmb, pll). See MyOracleSupport Note 955143.1
Also included in the installation in the Forms Migration Assistant. Although it is more useful to people coming from older versions, it can also be used to move from v10 to 11. It allows you to select more than one file at a time. Documentation for this utility can be found in the Forms Upgrade Guide.

Getting error while creating form and report on webservice: ORA-20001: Unable to create form on table. ORA-02263: need to specify the datatype for this column.

i am using the following description to create a web service reference:

Add Parameter:

Then i tried to create form and report on webservice:

Operation: doREST
All the fields i keep as default
I tick the checkbox (url)in report Parameter
After clicking next whereever required i click create button
I get the following error
ORA-20001: Unable to create form on table. ORA-02263: need to specify the datatype for this column.
Please someone help to solve this as i need to fix it urgently.

i exported the application from apex.oracle.com and imported it to our environment
import went fine, but when I ran the IR page I got
ORA-20001: get_dbms_sql_cursor error ORA-00904: : invalid identifier
evidently the problem is a lack of public execute on DBMS_LOB, which is used in the generated IR source.
while waiting for the DBA to grant privs on DBMS_LOB, changing the dbms_lob.getlength call to length() fixes the IR.
however, i am not getting the download link on the associated form page... changed templates, that's not the issue -- we'll see if that's a dbms_lob issue as well

Looks like there is a 127-column limit on the number of report columns supported when using that wizard. Do you have more than that?

Is Windows 7 64 bit support for Oracle Forms and Reports 6i version

Hi All,
Greentings!
Its urgent requirement from customer to Install Oracle Forms and Reports 6i Client software in Windows 7 64 bit OS.
Can any one please help me to download and Install the same. It would be great if you send me the download link and steps to Install.
Many thanks in advance!
Kind Regards,
Mohan

That is a very very old product. It does not look like it is certified on that OS.
Forms 6i Documentation
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/documentation/6i-forms-084462.html
From
http://download.oracle.com/otn_hosted_doc/forms/forms/A73154_01.pdf
1.2.1.2 Operating System
This version of Forms Developer requires Microsoft Windows. Specifically, one of the following versions:
Windows 95 (any version)
Windows 98 (any version)
Windows NT (Service Pack 5 or later)
For certification you should check with Middleware Certification (MOSC)

Can I use forms and reports 6I runtime for production environment?

I have a doubt.
I know if i use or install developer (forms and reports 6I) both, runtime and builder, I do require a license.
But If I buy the standard edition license for database (in production or deployment), and I wanna use the runtimes (from forms and reports) only as runtime not to modify or develop anything, is it possible? just to download it or install it in RUNTIME mode?
Is it possible and legal?
Thanks

Can I download that developer and install both forms and report runtime (yes only runtime) to access a licensed standard edition database? The problem is, you can't download that version any more! All download links to Forms version earlier that 10g R2 have been removed from Oracle's web site. You might still be able to download Forms 6i from My Oracle Support, but this requires a paid license agreement with Oracle to access My Oracle Support (formerly Metalink).
So, if you already have a copy of Oracle Developer Forms and Reports 6i then all you need to do is contact your local Oracle Sales Representative to get an official answer to your licensing question. If you don't have a copy of Forms 6i, then you are pretty much out of luck unless you know someone who has a copy!

Oracle Application server Forms and Report services 10.1.2.0.2 on Windows 2

Hi,
I am installing the Oracle Application server Forms and Report services 10.1.2.0.2 on Windows 2003 R2, but the problem is that setup is not running on this Windows 2003 R2 version.
Any idea about this why it is not running.
Regards,
Iftikhar

You asked this
How can i find what is the latest version that i can upgrade this install to
I told you where to find the last update, I checked that version yesterday, the last update is 10.1.2.3, my misstake was to put a 0 before the 3.
You can go to Patches & update>Quick Links to: Latest Patchsets, Mini Packs and Maintenance Packs>Oracle Fussion Middle Ware> Look for you OS versión and CPU> No clic just put pointer over the links and you will see the last one.
And finaly could look for the CPU of Jul and Apr that as requirement they ask for version 10.1.2.3 (as I say I checked yesterday)
Greetings.

Installing oracle 11 forms and reports

Hi,
i wanted to install oracle forms and reports on a machine where only a Oracle client is installed. Is a weblogic server really required? what i wanted to do was just to migrate rdf reports which we are using with an oracle 6 runtime. Is that possible or do we have to make the reports new?
thanks,
Georg

Hi,
When you say that you want to install oracle 11g.x then Weblogic is manadatory.
check support matrix for specific verision of WLS support on your required Forms and Reports installation.

Installation : Application Server 10g forms and reports services

Can anyone tell me if the infrastructure database is required when doing the forms and reports services only install to get the Distributed Configuration Management functionallity to work. There is no indication in the installation documentation that this is a requirement, in fact it seems that it is not required at all. I am having to guide a service provider through an install remotely and have to give them alot of information before they will proceed.

Hi Sandeep,
Hope you will be fine.
Actually I have installed Oracle DB10gR2+RHAS3 on one machine and Oracle AS10gR2 Forms and Reports Services+RHAS3 on another machine.
1). I can manually start the database EM,isqlplus manaually after OS reboots using commands and they are working fine but donot know how to start all these automatically when the OS starts.
2). I cannot start the IAS Forms and Reports Services neither manually nor automatic. even when my home directory was /BIN, i executed the command
"emctl start iasconsole" it returns an error Like "BASH.........etc"
meaing Linux does not recognize emctl while it is still existing in ORACLE_HOME/BIN directory.
I want both (DB and AS) working fine automatically while OS starts.
Looking Forward.

10g Forms and Reports Only

I am trying to use the Forms and Report Services only install on a RedHat AS3 server. I have been through all of the pre-configuration for Application server and feel that all the requirements have been met.
When I run the "runInstaller" program I receive an error
": bad interpreter: No such file or directory"
I would assume that this was reference to the script not finding /bin/sh which is really redirected to /bin/bash.
I created a test script:
#!/bin/sh
if [ -f /bin/sh ] ; then
echo "We Have Shell"
fi
exit
I ran this using the same oracle user at the same prompt and it worked. So this leads me to believe that the bash interpreter is working correctly.
Any thoughts on what the problem is? Do I have to install a piece of the Application Server first in order to install the Forms and Reports module?

Can you check if the 'runInstaller' is a dos format file (with CR LF)?
You can also try 'sh runInstaller' and see if that works.
