Forms Developer 11g r2

Hi guys ,
They have mentioned in the documentation that you must have 2G RAM for this product ,I have just 1 G RAM ,and i don't care if the PC became slow . Can i install the forms Developer 11g r2 on my PC , without problems.
thanks.

You can probably install the product with 1g of RAM, but depending on your configuration and what other software is running on the machine, you will not likely be able to use it productively.
In release 2, you are presented with two different installation options/types: "Development" and "Deployment". If you choose the "Development" option, you may be ok with 1g of RAM although performance will not be so good.
Keep in mind that this configuration (having just 1g of RAM) would not likely be considered "supported" if you were to contact Oracle Support with a problem.

Forms developer 11g x32 and production server 11g x64?

Hi all
Can I develop 11g forms on x32 windows machine and run or compile them on windows server x64??
I ask this because the media is about 3GB to download, so I need to be sure.
thanks..

You mean having the 32bit version of forms installed in development, and the 64bit version of forms installed in production? If you recompile your forms on your production server you should be fine.
cheers

Oracle Forms Developer 11g - OAF - ADF ????

Hi
i am a newbie in these terms and hence don't know much of the difference ....
I completed OCA developer and now i don't know what to choose next ???
what i have seen online about next certification path is
http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=5001&get_params=p_exam_id:1Z0-151&p_org_id=&lang=
that is Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g: Build Applications with Oracle Forms
also i saw some hype about ADF and OAF well being newbie i dont know what is the difference or either i can't find each of these in the Certification lists.
what i assumed is OAF is the same as Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g: Build Applications with Oracle Forms
but where is the certification of ADF ??? any link
also what to choose regardless of what i have in mind.
Thanks

Hassan,
OAF is not forms and it's not ADF either. These are different products targeting different markets.
OAF (Oracle Application Framework - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
Oracle Application Framework (OA Framework or OAF) is a proprietary framework developed by Oracle Corporation for application development within the Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS)
ADF (Oracle Application Development Framework - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
In computing, Oracle Application Development Framework, usually called Oracle ADF, provides a commercial Java framework for building enterprise applications. It provides visual and declarative approaches to Java EE development. It supports rapid application development based on ready-to-use design patterns, metadata-driven and visual tools.
Forms (Oracle Forms - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
Oracle Forms is a software product for creating screens that interact with an Oracle database. It has an IDE including an object navigator, property sheet and code editor that uses PL/SQL. It was originally developed to run server-side in character mode terminal sessions. It was ported to other platforms, including Windows, to function in a client–server environment. Later versions were ported to Java where it runs in a Java EE container and can integrate with Java andweb services.
The primary focus of Forms is to create data entry systems that access an Oracle database.
For more information you can use google and search for "oracle oaf" or "oracle adf" or "oracle forms"

Calling Stored procedure in Oracle 11g from Oracle forms developer 6i

We have Oracle 11g (11.1.0.7.0 ) database (64 bit) installed on Windows Server 2008.
In this database, we have stored procedure ABC(arg1) which is accesing a table in another instance through DB LINK. If we EXECUTE this procedure from SQL/TOAD. It runs successfully and generates the desired output.
If we write the contents of the stored procedure in the PROGRAM UNIT / ANY TRIGGER in FORM 6i then also, It runs successfully and generates the desired output.
It is also mentioned, that if we try to use any table in the same instance (and not through DBLINK) then it works fine.
However, if we try to call this stored procedure (which is accesing a table in another instance through DB LINK) from ORACLE FORMS 6i in WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger then the FORM BUILDER gets hanged while compiling the form developed in FORMS 6i.
Please provide a solution to this problem.
THANKS IN ADVANCE.
Hemant Singh.

Forms 6i was never meant to run against a 11g database, this was not tested and is also not supported.Well, that is not completely true. Developer 6i is supported against a 11g database, but only for Oracle Apps R11. That means that for most other customers (not Apps) Forms 6i will work against an 11g database. However, only Apps R11 is supported, and patches are only created specifically for Apps. We are also running Forms 6i against an 11g database without (well, minor) problems.
In this case, you need to find a solution. You can try to put the stored procedure in a package. The package body, with the reference to the remote table, will be hidden from Forms this way.

Oracle Database 11g Administrator or Oracle PL/SQL and Forms Developer?

Hi,
I am thinking about doing an Oracle certification course- Oracle Database 11g Administrator or Oracle PL/SQL and Forms Developer.
Oracle Database 11g OCP and OCM certification requires 3 mandatory training courses to be completed that costs between $1900 and $3250/each. Oracle PL/SQL certication doesn't require any mandatory training course.
Which one of these would be a good choice? Please advise.
Thank you,
Tracy

Regardless of which path you want to take, in order to get the OCP certification in either the DBA or PL/SQL developer track, you must first obtain the respective OCA certification for that track. I'm assuming that since you are still undecided in which path to take that you haven't started working on either yet. If you look at the pages for the OCA DBA and OCA PL/SQL Developer certs and what is required for each, you'll see that the first block of tests for either certification (the SQL based exams) has the same options (1Z0-007, 1Z0-047, 1Z0-051) and passing one of those SQL based exams gives credit towards obtaining both OCA certifications. That might be a good place to start.
Doing one of these tests first might give you some extra time to decide which track you want to pursue. But as Justin said, it really depends on what you do (or plan on doing) in your career as to which path might be more beneficial for you.
As for the OCM level stuff, I wouldn't even think about it until you get the OCP. One step at a time... Same with OCP before OCA. That being said, my suggestions are just that, suggestions. You're free to take any exams/courses in any order, but you won't be able to obtain the certs until you have completed the requirements for each.

Hi Michael,
Thanks for your valuable inputs.
Below line in CRMS_KR.htm was causing the problem because while directly hitting the CRMS_KR.htm we had hard-coded all the tag values which in other case is read from formweb.cfg
Before:
*<PARAM NAME="serverURL" VALUE="/forms/lservlet?ifcfs=/forms/frmservlet?acceptLanguage=en-us">*
We modified it to

9i OCP (Oracle Forms Developer) upgrade to 11g

Hi All,
I am currently 9i OCP as Forms developer (Internet build Application).
Can anyone tell me which certification to take, so that I can update my current cetification to 11g OCP
KK

The Forms Developer Certification is not version-specific, so there is no need to upgrade to an 11g version of this certification. However, you can upgrade to the Oracle Advanced PL/SQL Developer Certified Professional by following the requirements on this page http://bit.ly/zRfX8K.

Can I use Oracle Forms Services 11g with Database 9.2.0.8.0?

Hi everyone.
My department is evaluating development tools in order to build new web applications, and also possibly to migrate current applications buit with Oracle Forms 6.0.5.34.0. Our database is Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.8.0 - 64bit.
We have read that the newest Oracle Forms version is Oracle Forms Services 11g. Is Oracle Forms Services 11g compatible with Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.8.0 - 64bit? or would we have to migrate our RDBMS to Oracle 11g?
If our database is compatible, what would we need to develop and deploy applications with Oracle Forms Services 11g?
Many thanks in advance.

Wheter it's compatible or not: Database 9.2.0.8 is in sustaining support which means you won't get patches for it. So even if it is compatible I'd opt to upgrade to a newer version, as I wouldn't feel comfortable having a not-supported product out in production.
Have a look at the certification matrix for supported configurations
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/downloads/fmw-11gr1certmatrix.xls
As for the requirements; most things can be found on the forms homepage on OTN:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/forms/
or at the documentation:

Help! My Oracle Form builder 11g can't conect Oracle database(11g/10g)

I have installed
1.Oracle Database 11g Release 2 Standard edtion
2.WebLogic Server (10.3.3)
3.Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer (11.1.1.3.0)
after install I try run the test.fmx is ok!
But I want used form builder 11g connect my database 11g(installed at same host),
It connect appeared ORA-12154: TNS: could not resolve service name.
I search all about middleware folder in my PC , then find two tnsnames files and two sqlnet.ora
the sqlnet.ora content is
#==============================================================
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (NTS)
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES, EZCONNECT)
#==============================================================
the tnsnames.ora content is(copy same content from oracle database 11g's tnsnames.ora)
#==============================================================
ORCL =

#==============================================================
The I update all of my PC's tnsnames.ora like above string,but it always not work
somebody help me,thanks!!

Ronald,
I was able to connect to a database with Forms 11g by adding an Environment variable TNS_ADMIN and pointing this to the directory where the sqlnet.ora and tnsnames.ora files are located. I was unable to find a Net Configuration Assistant in Forms 11g and placing a copy of .ora files in the /%11G HOME/NETWORK/ADMIN didn't work either. Only after I added the environment variable was I able to connect.
There might be a "More Appropriate" solution, but this is what worked for me. We are just now testing 11g, but are still developing with 10g R2.
Hope this helps,
Craig B-)

Source for oracle 9i Forms developer certification

Hi,
Someone told me that oracle 10g & 11 g are mainly for those interested in database administration. But, since i am interested in developers certification i want to go for oracle 9i forms developer certification ( I want to have knowledge about Forms, reports etc)
Can we learn it without any tutions ??
If yes, can you please specify websites or book names??
Thanks & regards

I could write an essay, but some of my views are:
I am sure the Oracle would regard databases Oracle 10g and Oracle 11g as later versions of the Oracle Database that are generally upwards compatible with 9i but also with newer and better features.
Because there are significant(ish) adminstration differences in these database versions there is emphasis of these database administration certifications.
On the developer size yes PL/SQL has also improved, but the requirement for a newer certifiaction exam (at OCP level) was perhaps not quite so pressing:
This seems to be addressed version of the pl/sql exam, 1z0-144 (in beta), but from history even after 1z0-144 is fully released most forums vistors will go for 1z0-147 rather than 1z0-144 (see 1z0-007 versus 1z0-051 posts).
Also note that newer tools versions may not be closely coupled to newer database versions.
But, since i am interested in developers certification i want to go for oracle 9i forms developer certification ( I want to have knowledge about Forms, reports etc)
I suspect from a developers point of view oracle 9i forms developer is so similar to oracle 10g forms developer there is not much need/demand for a oracle 10g forms developer certification. (I would expect more emphasis to be put on producing an application express certifiaction anyway)
Can we learn it without any tutions ??
Not impossible but hard.
Oracle Recommended course woudl be: [http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getlppage?page_id=212&path=FMDT]
If yes, can you please specify websites or book names??
- And courses:
- Oracle have some self study CDROMs : [http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getSearchResults?p_output_style=T&p_search_category_id=1278&p_search_format=2]
- There may be some fair/good courses arround. In india I think, butt am not sure, sql_star are an authorised partner and give forms training. Beware of unauthorised training.
- In terms of books
There are probably more bad forms books than good ones, and most are going out of print (consider second hand). Some sites like amazon have reviews.
- Websites:
- If you see or are given any websites at a miinimum check the URL through [http://www.certguard.com]
- The one site I know of is [http://www.iselfschooling.com]. Its not got a RED at certguard, and its not got a full green either. Theres a few lessons you can get for free. For learning forms definitely no problems. If going straight for a certification then may be bad. But I believe its more training orientated than dump orientated and I believe their using original materials (if anyone knows different please let me know and certguard know and I'm have for this post to be edited or deleted).

How long is Oracle Forms/Developer Suite to be supported?

Hi.
I'm just curious how long Oracle are committed to supporting or creating new versions of Oracle Forms Developer / Developer Suite. I've heard, from one or two sources, that the intention is to abandon forms, and move the focus completely to Jdeveloper some time soon...
Is this true? does anyone know anything different?

Here we are again whith that question...
I'm a senior forms developer (and to make a little humour i've just recently learned designer...)
I think the confusion comes also from "J2EE Application Development for Forms and Designer Developers" which can make us thinking oracle is pushing up to J2EE and prepare us for the Dead of Forms RIP ...
And also that forms developer like me are a little bit afraid because they probably have no skills in J2EE.
But for me it is clear now.
There is no reason to migrate Forms to J2EE with whatelse tool can be sell to you.
I tried some demos in the past with such tools and it makes me laugh, converting a simple master detail forms dept/emp.
What can such tools make with very complex forms and logic ?
But the question is if I had to create a new application will i still do it with Forms ?
And the answer (for me) is no, especially when I see what the next Jdeveloper 11g will be able to do (I tried the fusion order demo and i was really impressed)
You say "I've invested so much time in learning, and becoming proficient at Oracle Forms..."
And so did I but I bought the book "Oracle JDeveloper 10g for Forms and PL/SQL Developers" and I study it page after page to enter the ADF world and upgrade my knowledge.
So Forms or J2EE it is your choice and i will not post the link to the SOD (francois did it) but Forms can also live in a SOA world http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/pdf/10gR2/forms-soa-wp.pdf
but we, forms developers, we must not only focus on forms and its death, but also go ahead and invest so much time we did to learn forms in learning J2EE, BPEL and etc etc.
Hope this can help
Jean-Yves
ps : relating to older post, forms was dead each time a new version of the appServer was comming :o)

Forms migration from 2.0 to Forms 10g/11g

Hi,
I want to migrate from forms 2.0 to 10g/11g. I know the migration path is 2.0->4.5->6i->10g/11g . I want to know is it feasible to do the migration from 2.0 to 10g/11g. what are the recommendations.
Thanks & Regards,
Noman

PITTS claim to be able to migrate forms from Forms 2.3 onwards.
http://www.pitss.com/solutions/pitsscon-solutions/forms-to-forms/
It depends on how much you want to spend...
However, if you're looking to do it yourself...
Do you have access to developer versions of Forms V3.0 or 4.5? It's easier if you go from 2.0 -> 3.0 -> 4.5/6i -> 10g. Each version has its own migration utilities, but they gradually remove support for earlier versions. Version 2 (2.3) triggers can exist in version 3, but not in later versions.
Do you have experience of Forms 6i or 10g? If not, you have the scope to re-write the application in the language of your choice. The Oracle website has a number of articles on migrating from Forms 3 and 6i, but not from earlier versions, so it depends on your current knowledge as to how you want to do.
I've migrated Forms 3.0 (with 2.3 style triggers) to 10g by hand. It requires an understanding of how Forms used to work compared to how it works now. You will basically be creating your new application from scratch (depending on what you have been able to upgrade) based on the the blocks and items of your old forms. Your task will be so much easier if you have the intermediate Forms developer tools (4.5/6i).
You'll also be upgrading your database. I assume that you are on Oracle 6/7.

Forms Server 11g running on VM Server

Hi,
Does anyone here have ever installed Oracle Forms & Reports 11g on a VM Server Instance? Can you recommended memory and disk space settings for that VM ?
I've installed Oracle VM server and I have download Oracle Weblogic 10gr3 Template... Up and running. The directory structure is somehow different from what I am used about to do... TAke a look at the disk structure first
root@bizdev:/u01 > df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/xvda2 1.1G 488M 553M 47% /
/dev/xvda1 31M 7.0M 22M 25% /boot
tmpfs 1.0G 0 1.0G 0% /dev/shm
/dev/xvdb1 626M 496M 99M 84% /opt/oracle
/dev/xvdc1 1004M 32M 921M 4% /u01
Now, weblogic, utils and jrockit are installed on /opt
root@bizdev:~ > ls /opt/oracle
jrockit logs lost+found modules registry.dat registry.xml utils weblogic
/u01 constains apps and domains dirs...
root@bizdev:/u01 > ls /u01
apps domains lost+found
So by this structure Oracle Forms & Reports home would be /u01/apps/oracle/product/OHFR ??? And the FormsREportsDomain would be installed on /u01/domains... isnt it ?
Anyone can share experience about this?
Regards
Ricardo

Ricardo,
I've done a lot of VM installations of WebLogic 11g w/ Forms but never used these VM "templates" that you use. I've always installed weblogic and Forms on a freshly installed operating system (Solaris,OEL,Redhat,Windows,etc..).
Please refer to forms installation documentation provided by Oracle: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/install.1111/e10421/toc.htm
Secondly, the statement "Oracle weblogic 10gR3" concerns me - what exact version of oracle weblogic server is installed?
You need 11g Forms with 11g Oracle WebLogic Server. The versions are a little confusing but you need one of the following setups:
1.) WebLogic Server 11g (v10.3.2) with Forms 11g (11.1.1.2)
1.) WebLogic Server 11g (v10.3.3) with Forms 11g (11.1.1.3)
2.) WebLogic Server 11g (v10.3.4) with Forms 11g (11.1.1.4) (Just recently released)
Note: Forms 11.1.1.3 and Forms 11.1.1.4 are patchsets.
Thirdly, for system specs. All minimum requirements are noted in the installation guide link i mentioned above. It depends on what environment this is and how many apps, users, etc. etc. However, for development environments i've done: usually 25GB+ HDD space, 4GB RAM, 1 CPU (1.5 Ghz+) has been sufficient.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Gavin

Linux Startup script for Forms Services 11g with Weblogic

Hi,
Does anybody know where I can find info about the startup script process for Forms Service 11g under linux? I can't find it googling it... I think I have to startup weblogic first... isnt it ? or opmnctl works alone ?
In 10g we just need to set env vars and then "opmnctl startall" and if we need enterprise manager "emctl start iasconsole" ... what about on 11g?
Regards
Ricardo

You can start directly the WLS_FORMS without starting the Admin and Node manager ..
I think if you go through this link , you will get more information ..

My suggestion would be to try converting the form to XML using <10gHome>\bin\frmf2xml.bat, and altering this XML to look like R1 XML. Simply changing the Module version might do the trick, but probably not.
To see the difference between 10gR1 and 10gR2 XML formats, take a reasonably complex R1 form and convert it to XML. Next, upgrade that same form to R2 and convert it to XML. Compare the two XML files.
Applying the knowledge gained from this comparison, modify the XML from your original R2 form. Try converting back to FMB using <10gHome>\bin\frmxml2f.bat Please share your findings with the forum!
Hope this helps,

PS: It is assumed that you have access to both 10gR1 and R2 installations!
