Forms Builder 6i & 10gR2

Hi,
Whether the forms builder in Oracle 10g and 6i looks the same?Can a person work in 6i forms builder with 10g experience?
What are the major differences?
Please give an overview about that 6i forms builder by comparing it with 10g.
Regards,

Hello,
It is quite 98% the same ! Don't worry about the different versions of the Builder, because the differences are really small.
The big difference is not with the builder but at runtime, because 6i is C/S (even if it is possible to have it running in Web mode), and 9i/10g is exclusively Web mode.

Forms Builder vers. Forms [32 Bit] Version 9.0.4.0.19 is not certified to work with Vista. See
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/10gR2/clientsod_forms10gR2.html

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.

Unable to create new in form builder

I'm currently using oracle 9i and within form builder, i've built a form with three tabs consisting of data taken from a table, and 2 views.
I've also created a sequence in sql+ that starts with 6 so i can use it to add new serial_no.
But the problem is whenever i press the create button which really is pl/sql code
SELECT no_serial_sequence.NEXTVAL
FROM dual;It doesn't creates a new record, instead it changes the current record.
Can anyone please give me some suggestions on where to look for errors?
Thanks in advance. B)

Can you send the command with which you create sequence.
Thanks

XML Forms Builder - problem with checkbox

Hi,
I have created many checkboxes in XML Forms Builder and if I want to create a new document based on this "Form" I have still checked one of checkboxes. I would like to have all empty checkboxes becasue user should check the appropriate checkboxes.
Do you know how to resolve this problem?
Thaks for help!
Regards,
Andrzej Tabara

Hi,
is it always the same checkbox that is already filled in? Is this ckeckbox based on a metadata-definition?
If yes: You could maybe have a look at the metadata-definition. Is there maybe a default-value defined?

Can not open PLLs on Forms Builder 10g

Hi Folks,
everytime I try to open an existing PLL-File via the Forms Builder FileOpen-Dialog I have got the message
    PDE-PLI018 Couln not find library
    Drive:\Path\LibName.pll
Pressing the OK-Button returns to the FileOpen-Dialog. The selected FileType in the Dialog take effect to the filelist but nothing else.
Note that the file exists and I select it from the Filelist!

While converting from 6i to 10g it is unavoidable to convert forms and libraries, so please help me!
PS: I can recompile forms with attached libraries if the PLX-Files (6i) are available, but the forms will not work with these PLX-Files.
edited by ths:
I tried to generate a new library. This works fine until I saved it. After naming the library and pressing the save button in the dialog the pll file was created and the same error message appears.
I closed form builder and tried to reopen the library: same error.
I generated another new library and save this by selecting the first new I generated. Jippee! I get the message that the file already exists! I selected "overwrite" and the file was overwritten. After that the same error appears.
How can I (re)open PLL files? It is no solution to generate a new library overwriting the old one everytime some changes should made.
Trying to build the library (Ctrl+T) produces another error:
    FRM-91507: Internal Error: Unable to generate library.
Compiling (Ctrl-Shift-K) works fine.

Hi Mark,
there's no user except of me on the pc and server (I'm working via rdp-client on a virtual server), no server and no oc4j task or instance started. The one and only program that runs is forms builder. The error occurs if I just try to open a pll file via the file open dialog of forms builder.
With my admins we found that forms builder creates a (temporary) file (e.g. s22o without extension with 827392 bytes) in c:\ but only if I'm the actual user. After I'm getting the permission to create and update files on c:\ forms builder was able to open pll files. Now we're trying to find out why this accurs only on my login. With other users we tried these file was created on F:\ which is the personal drive of the user. I'm only wondering about the fact that temporary files were not created in the TEMP folder defined by the TMP or TEMP environment variable.
So we solved this unusual problem in an unusual way.

FRM-92101 when trying to run forms from Forms Builder 10g

I have been struggling with this for a few days now and have tried multiple solutions around on these forums without any resolution yet!
Trying to run Forms Builder on a Windows XP machine with Oracle Development Suite 10.1.2.0.2 installed in its own ORACLE_HOME. The installation completes succesfully and I can start the OC4J instance.
1) When I open up Forms Builder and pull up the test.fmb form and try to run it, I get the following error:

Same issue here... Been trying to get this working since a week now. I tried all the solutions like memory heap and all but no luck.
One thing that I would like to know is that, in some threads the resolution was to recompile the INS_FORMS.MK file under /forms/lib32 but with my installation I don't have that "lib32" folder under /forms/ and I can not even find that file anywhere in my entire installation.
I am using 12.1.1 on Windows Server 2008.
Any help or guidelines is greatly appreciated.

System takes long time to Save/Activate using SFP Form Builder

We are planning to customize the Travel Expense PDF Form PTRV_EXPENSE_FORM in ECC 6.0 using transaction SFP FORM BUILDER (ABAP Workbench). As the initial step we copied it into Z form and started the changes. Here is the problem: Even for a small change on the Layout, system is taking long time to complete the process.
For example:
For Saving the changes: 6 to 7 minutes
For Activating the changes: 12 to 13 minutes.
On the server side :
we are on ECC 6.0, SAP NW04s SP 9 for EA-HR
ADOBE LiveCycle Designer 7.1 (Patch 3 applied).
On client machine :
we have SAP GUI 640 Patch Level 21,
ADOBE Reader 7.0.9.
Client machine has 1 GB RAM & 40 GB Hard Drive.
Thanks in Advance for the quick reply.

Same problem for us

Forms Builder - form not pulling the data from the DB into the datablock

I'm working on a school project, and I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, or if something is wrong with my setup.
I created a basic form, 3 fields, and ID, firstname and lastname
the wizard connected fine, pulled the three fields into forms builder
I setup a canvas - type content with the a form format layout of the three fields.
saved the form.
When I run the form and it's displayed, nothing gets pulled into the fields (all blank).
Shouldn't it pull at least the first row from the table?
it says it's on record 1/1
XP, Oracle 10g, Form builder 10.1.2,
I'm not getting any errors
I want to get this basic form working first, before I start adding to it, and it doesn't seem to want to cooperate.
I've done the same steps as in the tutorials....

I did find that, if I put data in the ID, first and lastname on the form, and click Execute & Save on the Menu, it does add it to the database.
Maybe what I'm missing, is how do I get the form to read from the database when it starts up?

Error while opening Adobe Form Builder

Hi all,
I am trying to open an existing form in Adobe Form builder (TA SFP).
When ever I display a standard form say FP_TEST_01 and go to the layout tab, I get an error saying Error occurred in communication with layout editor. I am using ECC 5.0 system.
Am I missing any configurations?
We have all the required configurations set as mentioned in Configuration guide. (Required for ABAP stack).
Please help me out.
Thanks in advance.

Error while saving form in Form Builder

Hi,

Hi,
i got this resolved. What i observed was, if you try to place some input field in "renderlist or Show" form and you didnt palce save button then this error will come on saving the project.
try removing the input fields in those forms save it(still you face this issue) close the project and again save the project. this will get solved.

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.
