Forms builder 6 on Windows 7 OS`

Hi,
Has anyone installed forms builder 6 on windows 7?
I have done this but when i try and connect to a database i get an error message:
"Error while trying to retrieve test for error ORA-12705"
Anyone any ideas?
forms builder 10g works fine using same TNSNAMES.
Regards

Check for support?
i do not understand this comment?
do you mean Check for certification
Or open an SR.
Either way there is a need to move to windows 7 and therefore we have to try and get it to work, so peoples comments and experiences will be much appreciated.
I am trying installing the XP mode virtual PC that you can download.. and ill let you know how this goes..

Is Oracle Forms builder version 10.1.2.0.2 certified with Windows 7 ?

Hello
I need to change my old PC that is running 32 bit XP.
On this PC , I have installed Oracle Forms builder 10.1.2.0.2
I need to keep this version of forms as my customer is running the same version on linux.
I wish to upgrade my PC and install Windows7 (32 bit ) . Is Windows7 certified with Oracle Form builder 10.1.2.0.2?
Thanks

Hello Sunny,
I just asked that same question in a service request a few days ago and got this answer from Oracle Support:
Question "Could you please also check if Forms/Reports Builder *10g* (10.1.2.3.0) are being certified for Windows 7 (32- and 64-bit)? As far as I know Forms/Reports Builder 10g are currently not certified for Win7 at all."
ODM Answer / Action Plan:
"According to product management and http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/10gR2/clientsod_forms10gR2.html , Windows 7 is certified as a client platform for 10.1.2.3, however production runtime deployments on Windows 7 is not supported for this version. You can build your Forms applications using Forms Builder on Windows 7 and test it, but when it is time to deploy it in a multi user environment, it needs to be deployed on a supported production deployment. So it should be ok to install iDS 10.1.2.3 on Windows 7 and develop your applications. The installation should be according to How to Install Developer Suite 10.1.2.3 on Windows Vista (Doc ID 559067.1). The note is for Vista, but the instructions apply for Windows 7 as well."
So I'd assume Windows 7 to be supported as well with Forms and Reports Builder 10.1.2.3.0.

Andreas

11g forms builder is not able to initiate the Internet explorer

Hi,
my problem is that my forms builder is not able to open the form in IE during compilation if Internet explorer is not already running but it is able to open the form in a new tab if Internet explorer is already running.
My system's specifications :-
Oracle forms builder 11g
Windows 2008 SP2
Internet explorer version :-Internet explorer 9
Please help.
Thanks,
RS

1. In the Builder verify that you have valid values for the Application Server URL and Browser Location fields in the Builder Preferences Runtime (tab). Do not leave either field blank.
2. In the browser settings, on the Advanced tab, scroll down to the Security section and check the box labeled, "Allow active content to run in files on My Computer".
3. Click Ok to save the changes. Close ALL open browsers
4. Retest

Running oracle form builder 10g in windows 7 64 bit

i am working in windows 7 64 bit
oracle db 11g enterprise edition 11.2.0.10 64 bit
form builder 10.12.0.2 32 bit
my default browser is Google Chrome
i have java 6 standard edition 1.6.0_34
when i am trying to run any form this message appear " java (TM) is required to display some elements in this page"
what can i do to run those forms?

You can also refer to this OTN reference:
Oracle Application Server 10g (10.1.2) Certification Matrix
Other comments:
1. I would not recommend using Forms 10.1.2.0 with Oracle DB 11.2.x. Patching Oracle Forms to 10.1.2.3 would be recommended. Using version Forms 11 would be better.
2. Attempting to use the Developer Tools on Windows 7 is not a great idea although it can be made to work. Developer Suite 10 is no longer supported and was never really intended for use on Win7. Again, patching to 10.1.2.3 is recommended and required if you plan to follow the Oracle instructions and certifications.
3. Installing the Forms Builder (Developer Suite) on Win7-64bit is not at all certified and was never supported.
4. Using Java 7 was not certified and therefore not supported for use with Forms 10.x
In general, Forms 10.1.2.x has been desupported. Customer using this version or older should be working on a migration plan for getting to the latest supported version which is 11.1.2.1.

Forms Builder 10.1.2.3 Crash in Windows 7

I've installed Oracle Developer Suite (ODS) 10g R2 on numerous Windows 7 systems and have only encountered an issue with Forms Builder crashing a couple of times. Each time, I've been able to resolve the problem by modifying the OS PATH environment variable to ensure there is not a conflict between Oracle versions. If you only have ODS 10g installed, this should not be a problem, but if you have different versions of Forms installed - this could very well be the problem. My you might want to take a look at the OS PATH and make sure all Windows related directories are listed first. Then list the ODS directories second and lastly, list everything else. Oracle has a bad habit of putting it's program directories before the operating system directories.
It is also possible that your installation media is bad since your install is crashing in Windows XP mode as well. That being the case, you may want to download the installer again.

Oracle forms builder - windows or unix?

Until recently we've been developing on Forms Builder 6i on our Sun/Solaris box. Now however, we want to move to developing using Forms 10g. We've already recompiled all our forms on the unix box, which has Application Server 10g and an 11g database. Do we stick to using the version of Form Builder on the unix box, or go with the Windows forms? I'm not keen on the unix version, never have been - it's rather clunky, but all our forms/libraries source code is on the server. What do people generally use? I've been ftp-ing files but this is no good longer term - is it best to go with a samba share?

Thanks Tony,
Yes we do still want to deploy on unix. Up until now we've been using unix source control to book modules in and out, as well as using the unix version of form builder. We don't have any other source control software so we'd still need to book in and out on unix. I'd still like to use the Windows forms builder, but we'd prefer to avoid having multiple copies of the source code on windows.

Forms builder 6i starts in minimized window

Hello!
After a properly working installation of Forms builder I suddenly got Forms Builder (version 6.0.8.18.3 on win 2000) as a minimized window (just an icon on the taskbar/Quick Launch) when starting ifbld60.exe. Unable to maximize it to a window on desktop useful for my purpose. Why is it so ? The only changes on my PC are the frequently Windows Update from Microsoft
Tried to reinstall Forms from CD without success.
Runform, Reports and other programs are working OK.
What�s to do. Any ideas from anyone ?
Thanks Bertil

Hi do you have access to metalink? note 351885.1 details how to resolve it.

Form builder make an error in windows xp sp2 when connecting oracle xe

i have installed the forms from developer 6i and tried to connect to
oracle xe using form builder , the problem was that windows show an error and
it says that an error has occur and we are sorry , do you want to send the message

Hi Samer,
sorry, but I haven't done any character set migration yet. Usually I have used exp/imp to move the data to a new database instance that was created with the new target character set. But with XE you only have the choice between WE8MSWIN1252 and AL32UTF8, you cannot easily create a new instance with a different character set.
This should suffice for most applications. But you have a special case where you run into a problem with a product where you won't get any enhancements for anymore. Forms6i entered extended support on 01/2005.
Perhaps someone else can help you out with the character set migration.
Good luck,
~Dietmar.

6i Form Builder via x-windows or desktop?

What is the best development environment for 6i form builder/designer. Should it be used via x-windows to access the designer from the server or to to install and use the designer on the desktop (ie W2Kpro)? I understand there are x-window products and there is Developer 6i for MS windows. Does anybody have any pros/cons for either development environment or preferences?

Jim,
There is a special version for XP and not only do you need to install this special version but you also need to have a minimum of Patch 13 (from metalink). The special version can be downloaded from the otn using http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/forms/index.html
I would go use this special install first before doing any other thing.
Sunny Patel.
