Forms Migration Document 6i to 10g?

I have searched OTN and Metalink and cannot find a migration document. I'm installing Forms/Reports 9.0.4 on a new server and moving all my 6i forms/reports. Is there a migration document telling me what changes need to be made in forms/reports for 9.0.4?
Thanks.
Shirley

  • Forms Migration from 4.5 to 10g

    Hi ,
    I want to migrate my forms from 4.5 to 10g so i did following steps:
    1. Installed Developer suite 10g
    2. Took a sample form developed in 4.5 and comiled it in 10g builder utilized the
    sample.fmx file for 10g the test was successful ,
    I need to migrate a complete application developed in 4.5 forms to 10g and I have
    some existing libraries which I use in my forms , now i'm stuck how to utilize them for
    10g as whenever I open the forms in 10g builder it asks me to remove the library.
    Can please anyone inform me how to utilze the my own user built libraries and esp .
    how to repalce D2KWUTIL with WebUtil and is the way i'm approaching for migartion
    correct ?
    Thanks.
    Jonty.

    Hi ,
    Thanks for the reply ,
    but still i'm not clear how to utilize my libraries as even if i migate to Forms 6i
    which in turn also supports D2KWUTIL ,so how to utilize Webutil instead of
    D2WUTIL while migrating from 6i to 10g.
    Is there any document or paper in suport to it.
    Thanks.

         1. Oracle 4.5-->6i-->10g, In this what are benefits of migrating into intermediate version.Oracle's migration path is 4.5, 6i, 10g it is more logical to migrate using this path and it is recommended by Oracle, the obsolete built-ins would be pointed out at compilation and fixes would be more automated and simple since Forms 6i was designed to accept migration from 4.5 and the internal design of the forms will be much more adaptable to later releases.
         2. if we migrating into intermediate version 6i, do we need to fix all the errors before moving to 6i.It would be better and easier to fix things in Forms 6i rather than 10g, you can leave them and than you'll have to fix them under 10g.
         3. if no, do we lose any functionlity while migrating to 10g.Functionality built on obsolete built-ins and commands will be lost, you are more likely to face bugs.
         4. Does Oracle support direct migration to 10g?Oracle's official migration path is 4.5 to 6i to 10g
         5. if we open oracle 4.5 form in 10g form builder, do we lose any functionality? do we need to lot manual replacement?It all depends on your application size and features. I suggest you migrate to Forms 6i first and than to 10g although you can do it directly to 10g since Forms 6i is no longer supported.
    I personally rather follow the recommended path and use Oracle support in 10g migration.

  • Forms migration: 6i - 10g

    Hi,
    I am upgrading my forms 6i to 10g.
    when I run to forms I receveid the follow error:
    FRM-41053: Canvas Invalid ID Error
    Somebody can help me?
    Thanks in advanced.
    Bruno Mendes de Moraes

    Hi,
    I have upgraded forms 6i to 10g without any problems.....I didnt' face up this kind of problem.....
    The proposed action of Oracle is to "Verify that a proper call to FIND_CANVAS will be performed".
    Maybe you use obsolete procedure of functions.......
    Did you try in this situation to use the Forms Migration Assistant before the compilation of the forms to new version....????
    The problem exists in all your forms...?????

  • Migration 5.0 to 10g how to keep it at run-time

    Hi, all.
    I have the 9i at the company and we're creating a new project for electronic invoice and the file must be '.xml'. We've used forms and reports only. We'll probably migrate our db and its tools to 10g.
    My question is: can my applications run at run-time in 10g like 9i? I mean, 10g is focused on the web and all of our applications working at the forms/reports run-time. Someone have told us that it'll not work out 'cause 10g runs in the browser and not as a application alone.
    Must I convert all my applications to run only in the browser?
    Could someone help me in this issue?
    Thank you for some help.
    Regards,
    Anderson

    Keep in mind that Forms 5 was never certified to run against a 10g database, you'll face some problems and Forms 5 is no longer supported, hence no support from Oracle.
    Migrating your Forms application from Forms5 to 10g should be very smooth, the only thing you need to be careful of is built-ins that interact with the client machine (HOST, TEXT_IO etc.....) in 10g Forms are web deployed they are in 3 tier architecture, these built-ins will run on the Application server and not the client machine.
    To run these built-ins on the client machine you need to use webutil's function (CLIENT_HOST, CLIENT_IP etc...)
    You can simply migrate your Forms to Forms 6i and than to 10g.
    I suggest you migrate your application, read the [Forms Upgrade Center|http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/upgrade/index.html] there are many white papers and documents that can help you.

  • Forms Migration to 11g, RUN_PRODUCT must be declared

    Hi All,
    I'm performing forms migration from 10g to 11g,
    I used Forms Migration Assistant to Migrate forms, But if a form is calling reports then those forms are
    not getting compiled and giving the error RUN_PRODUCT must be declared. I know that RUN_PRODUCT
    is not supported in 11g, but is there any way to configure Forms Migration Assistant so that it replaces this
    code with appropriate code. Forms Migration Assistant program asks for Report server name, Servlet Virtual Directory information for the forms that are calling reports. I don't know what to specify in virtual directory field
    and report servlet field.
    Please help me with this.
    Thanks

    You are replying to an old thread, but it looks like you didn't read it properly. It is stated that
    when migrating from 6i to 10g we have used the wizard to replace RUN_PRODUCT with rp2rro.rp2rro_run_product (rp2rro.pll).So, you also need to use rp2rro.pll if you still want to make use of RUN_PRODUCT. Even in 10g RUN_PRODUCT by itself won't work. As Christian already said:
    you probably could simply remove the call to run_product as in 10g the built-in was available but simply didn't do anything. Did you try that yet?

  • Regarding forms migration

    Hi,
    I am working on forms migration. A form was migrated from 4 to 6i. Now I am migrating it to 10g.
    The form has 2 mmb's,1 pll and object library all of which are migrated to 10g and are error-free.
    Now I am trying to compile the form in 10g. For that when I open the form in Forms10g, the form closes automatically and I get a message "ifbld60.exe error". Now what can be done ?The form is working fine in 6i without any errors.It is not getting opened in 10g at all,
    Kindly guide me.

    Sir,
    I am very sorry as I have not given the error message correctly.
    This is the error message that I see when I open the form in 10g form builder.
    "ifbld90.exe has generated errors and will be closed by windows.You will need to restart the program"
    Now how can I proceed further?
    Please guide me.

  • Not able to use forms migration assistant

    Dear OTN Members
    I have installed 10g database and dev suite 10g. Previous version of forms was 6i (client/server architecture). I have downloaded forms migration assitant 9.0.2; they are jar files. I dont know how to use migration assitant (jar files) to convert my forms to 10g. I have used java command to execute it, i have also double clicked on jar files but it says "invalid or corrupted jarfile". Tried in script, didnt worked too. When i download forms assistant it was in zip file and when i extract it, it becomes 5 directories named (Actions,Components,Dialogs,locks and Queries and two files named install1.jar and products.jar. I checked all files inside these directories but no file worked. I searched on web that how to make jar files executable and did that but i got the same message "invalid or corrupted jarfile".
    Please guide me where can i found migration assitant v10.1.2 (i already searched web but cant find it). and how to use it? If anybody have it please send me link or file (as its size is very small).
    I will appreciate your cooperation.

  • Is forms Migration Assistant supported on forms10g?

    Hi.
    I'm trying to user forms migration assistant with forms1g (Forms [32 bits] Versión 10.1.2.0.2 (Producción)), but i´m getting the following message: "the specified staging area is not supported by the current OUI". Seems like i need to install using a previous version of OUI or curent OUI is not supported.
    Answers will be greatly appreciated ..!

    Hi,
    I had the same problem right now and solved it.
    So for everyone who hits this problem .. the answer is:
    no need to install the Forms Migration Assitant,
    it is already included in 10g.

  • Form Migration

    Hi,
    I am migrating one 6i form to 10g form through forms migration assistance, the converter log says that...
    BAL_TRF.CONTROL_BLK.PRINT_BUT.WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED: RUN_PRODUCT changed to RUN_REPORT_OBJECT
    BAL_TRF.CONTROL_BLK.PRINT_BUT.KEY-NEXT-ITEM: RUN_PRODUCT changed to RUN_REPORT_OBJECT
    but when open the form and check the code it is like ...
    rp2rro.rp2rro_run_product(reports,'bal_trf',synchronous,runtime,filesystem,pl_id,null);
    So where is the fault? I have edited the search replace properties file and replaced rp2rro.rp2rro to RUN_REPORT_OBJECT.
    Any solution? pls.
    Rgds

    I don't think you can do anything here..
    When we migrate to higher versions the call to RUN_PRODUCT will be substituted with rp2rro.rp2rro_run_product ,which is the procedure in rp2rro library .
    To make your call work without any modifications of code. If you want to make it a direct call to RUN_REPORT_OBJECT , then its not straight forward , when you open the re2rro library you will notice it handles several scenarios before making a call to RUN_REPORT_OBJECT. For this you need to code yourself if you need to make a direct call.

  • Migration from 6i to 10g.

    Hi,
    1.     Is it possible to migrate forms 6i directly to forms 10g using 10g dev. suite? Or do we have to migrate first to forms 9i first?
    2.     What is the latest available forms development environment in production and can we use that for our forms migration from 6i?
    3.     Does forms 9i and 10g works with 9i, 10g and 11g databases?

    You can Migrate directly from 6i to 10g Release 2, but probably not with Migration Assistant alone. It will take an average of about 1 day per Form to accomplish this with Migration Assistant. There are many things that MA just doesn't take care of, and I have seen alot of complaints with the Formatting of the Forms after. Not to mention Reports.

  • Using Forms Migration Assistant

    Hello,
    I have been migrating a application server from forms 6i to 10g (10.1.2.0.2) using Forms Migration Assistant (FRMPLSQLCONV) tool.
    First of all, I have converted .pll files, and It has been converted right.
    Then It has been compiled and right.
    But when I try to convert a form (.fmb files) in a different path from libraries (.pll files) and It didn't work.
    I have changed REGEDIT (FORM_PATH), DEFAULT.ENV file (FORM_PATH), FORMSWEB.CFG file in the WORKING-DIRECTORY and It doesn't work.
    Could you help me?
    I have an idea. Compiling directly in 10g . It is possible?

    These .fmb files it didn't converted.

  • Forms Migration -- Help

    Hi,
    we are currently using Forms 5 version and our database version is 8i in our project.
    Now our client wants to upgrade the database to 10g, and Forms 5 to higher version (forms 9i or 10g).
    1.For migrating the Forms 5 version whether any tool is availabe if so what will be the cost of the tool (please provide the link for Forms migration tool).
    2. Clarify whether instead of using tools,I can open the Forms 5 version (fmb) in Forms 9i/10g version of Forms builder and save it.
    3. Whether all the codes used in Forms 5 will work in Forms 9i/10g version.
    4. Which upgrading will be better Forms 9i or 10g, since our client want to upgrade the database from 8i to 10g.
    Note : our database will be on Unix machine.
    please give your suggestions and ideas.

    HI,
    1.For migrating the Forms 5 version whether any tool is availabe if so what will be the cost of the tool (please provide the link for Forms migration tool). -- PLS SEARCH IN GOOGLE, THERE R MANY.
    2. Clarify whether instead of using tools,I can open the Forms 5 version (fmb) in Forms 9i/10g version of Forms builder and save it. -- NO, THE MIGRATION PATH WILL BE FORMS 5 --> FORMS 6i ---> FORMS 10g. JUST OPEN THE FORMS INDIVIDUALLY IN FORMS 6i & SAVE IT. TAKE THIS SAVED FORM TO 10g BY OPENING IT IN 10g AND THE ORACLE'S DEFAULT MIGRATION TOOL WILL TAKE CARE OF YOUR CONVERSION. PRESS 'CONVERT ALL'. KEEP IN MIND THAT IF THERE IS ANY FORM SAVED IN DATABASE YOU HAVE TO SAVE IT IN FILE SYSTEM AND DELETE IT FROM DATABASE TO WORK PROPERLY IN 10g. I AM ASSUMING YOU WILL SET THE PATHS PROPERLY B4 STARTING. ALL THE ATTACHED LIBRARIES YOU HAVE TO RE-ATTACH IN 10g, MANY RE-REFERENCING HAVE TO BE DONE. LAST JOB WILL BE TO COMPILE AND RUN.
    3. Whether all the codes used in Forms 5 will work in Forms 9i/10g version. -- ALL MOST ALL. EXCEPT VARCHAR IS NOT ALLOWED AND ETC.
    4. Which upgrading will be better Forms 9i or 10g, since our client want to upgrade the database from 8i to 10g. -- IT'S BETTER TO 10g.
    REGARDS,
    PRAGATI.
