Forms migration question

Hi-
I'm trying to migrate an oracle form to apex.
I'm at the create project step. I entered in the project name and now I'm trying to select "Forms" as the TYPE. The only option I have is access. Is there something I'm missing during the apex install?
Thanks in advance,
Matt

I installed only APEX 3.2 locally and it only showing access selection as well. However I also notice that on the web page is showing " Application Express 3.0.1.00.12"at the right-hand bottom conner. I wonder if the download from oracle apex_3.2.zip is wrong.

  • Forms system potential migration questions.

    We have a forms and reports based system built in 10g.
    We are considering migrating to 11g forms and reports but long term moving to ADF or APEX.
    We are generally a data entry system run on intranet so my prefernence has always been APEX but management are trying to follow the Oracle roadmap which is pushing ADF.
    We are a small outfit so the solution we choose will probably be the one which offers the quickest development times.
    I have signed up for apex.oracle.com to have a play but seems to be taking forever to get approval!
    A few questions re APEX (apologies if these are really simple)
    1) How is user access controlled. Currently all our users login via one SYSDBA user. Our current system has a logon box which then allows access to the screens they can amend. I assume APEX uses the DB user access rights?
    2) How easy is it to deploy fixes etc? We have upwards of 200 customer sites. We currently distribute fmx an RDF files on a monthly basis.
    3) Can you use key strokes? Many customers like the F Keys to be used as quick keys? i.e. in forms F10 can be save, F3 can be clear etc
    4) Can we use our existing database? Although this is many years old and all the correct constraints may not be in place (ie. a few FK/indexes may be missing - but we could try and tidy up pre migration) would it be possible to use this. We are consdiering rewriting the database but most customers will want to bring through their old data and have custom reports built on these so would struggle to rewrite)
    5) How is inheritance handled? In our forms environment all our items are inherited from one point so if we change that one point it follows through the system
    6) I have seen online demo were by people are creating mini databases from spreadsheets. Can it be setup so the users can create things like this without affecting other areas of the system?
    7) Any pros/Cons when comparing to ADF
    8) Any people any fedback from migrating from Forms
    Any feedback at all is greatfully recieved.
    Im looking forward to the online demo.

    Sure Oracle pushes ADF, because it has cost them $$$$$$ and they want to get that back. Apex is part of the database, and as such you already have a license for it. No need for a Weblogic or OAS license.
    seems to be taking forever to get approval!Went pretty fast for me a few years ago. 1-2 days if I remember correctly.
    1) There are pre-built authentication methods, but you can also create your own method (which most people do).
    I assume APEX uses the DB user access rights?As in most web applications, there is only one user that actually accesses the database. And I would never ever make that a SYSDBA user!
    Other users may log in via username/password that can be stored in Apex tables or your own tables. They can also be actual database users. However, since they do not connect to the database, their roles are irrelevant. You may use these roles to check authorization in your application, though.
    2) Apex exports applications in a sql file, so you can deploy applications via sqlplus (or via the Apex administrator page).
    3) The keys are actually browser keys, so you are very limited. You can use some Javascript, but forget about something like F7-F8 combination. It doesn't matter what technology you use, web is different from client/server (or the Forms Java applet). You have to rethink GUI concepts coming from Forms and going to browser applications.
    4) Yes. But like Forms, good database design makes thinks easier (like using wizards).
    5) There are all kinds of places where you can set defaults, templates etc.
    6) Yes.
    7) Google for discussions on ADF vs Apex.
    8) We use it side by side. No plans to recreate Forms as an Apex application.
    Depending on the size of your Forms app, it may take a long time to re-create it in Apex. There are some Forms migration tools in Apex, but I wouldn't use those. They cannot migrate the Forms code anyway, since a browser doesn't understand pl/sql code. As said, you really have to rethink your GUI when moving to a web app.

  • Analysis Authorization Migration Question

    Analysis Authorization Migration Question
    This is detail Question
    1)     I am testing Analysis Authorization Migration in NW2004s SP9 and have applied all OSS notes that are relevant to SP09 and are coming in SP10.
    2)     We have 2 Info object flagged as Authorization relevant 0COMP_CODE and 0COSTCENTER
    3)     We have Object level security set-up in BW 3.x system and for a role we have specified values like 0COMP_CODE has value 1000, 1800. “:”. In the same role we have specified 0COSTCENTER value 130001 to 180001, “:”  and hierarchy node.
    4)     When we migrate to Analysis Authorizations, using RSEC_MIGRATION, this program creates 2 Authorizations ZCOCODE00 & ZCOSTCTRH00. Both of them have 0COMP_CODE and 0COST_CENTER Objects.
    5)     ZCOCODE00 authorization gets value 0COMP_CODE values 1000, 1800. “:” and 0COSTCENTER Value “:”.
    6)     On the same line ZCOSTCTRH00 gets value 130001 to 180001, “:”  and 0COMP_CODE “:”.
    1st Question:
    1)     Why does it create 2 Authorizations?
    2)     During Checking it does not pass the authorizations, because it seems to me that it fails in Optimization process.
    3)     I manually merge the authorizations in “ONE” object then authorization check passes.  In other word if I combine ZCOSTCTRH00 & ZCOCODE00 then Query authorization check passes.
    Any one is struggling on this.
    Please note, I am doing Migration so that it updates existing Profiles (Roles now from SP9).
    Any comments will be very help full.
    Pankaj Gupta

    Hello Pankaj
    There are some basic misunderstandings on your side.
    Let me try to clarify:
    First we should distinguish between migration of authorizations and of what a query does with them.
    You had 2 auth objects before migration (in 3.x).
    Of course, they must be migrated to 2 new analysis auths.
    There is no general possibility to combine authorizations to a single one as the may appear in different roles and users. Moreover this would kill performance and finally, nobody would recognize the origin.
    Only in very restricted cases one could think of a combination of auths which come out of migration. But, then people loose overview about what goes on.
    Before the corrections in note "Migration IV" the : had not been inserted but now it is for good reasons.
    Now, accept for the moment that you receive 2 auths.
    Then, you cannnot (must not) combine the 2 resulting authorizations!
    <b>Authorization 1</b>
    COMP_CODE : 1000, 1300, “:”
    Cost Center : “:”
    <b>Authorizations 2</b>
    Comp_Code “:”
    Cost Center : 3100001-31999999; “:” plus a Hierarchy Node.
    This means that e.g. combination
    COMP_CODE 1000
    COST_CENTER 3100001-31999999
    <u>is not allowed!!!</u> Therefore, they must not be combined!
    Also, the query and its optimization is comepletely independent of the migration. And here, during query run time the auths cannot be combined. It is no failure!
    Moreover, the merging optimization is just a performance optimizaiton and has nothing to do with whether the query result is authorized or not.
    If you combine them manually you have authorized different combinations.
    Well, now you may wonder why you get 2 auths at all which leads to a "no auth" result in the query execution.
    The reason is, that in 3.x where you got a result with your 2 auth objects the modeling was wrong.
    If you want to authorize any combination of characteristic values, you should combine these characteritics together in one auth object, not in 2!
    (In BI7.0 it works like that but not in 3.x)
    But you defined 2 which may be valid even in several other InfoProviders independently and not even at the same time. Moreover, the auth objects may come from different roles and may be assigend to different users which then have completely different auth content. In general it is not possible to combine different auth objects or to find out those special situations which nevertheless allow for such optimizations. If you re-do a migration with more objects and users you could even receive different results which is also not satisfying.
    Therefore, instead, the mechanism was introduced to insert a : auth to those characteristics that are auth relevant (and checked now with 7.0) but not in the currently processed auth object.
    In you special case it may have made sense to combine them but not in general. And a migration can only try to work as general as possible.
    For your application you may combine the 2 auths manually if you want to allow also the crossover combinations

  • Forms Migration Assistant

    Hello
    I am using Oracle Developer Suite 10.1.2.0.2 and I want to migrate some forms from Forms 6i to Forms10g.
    I edited the search_replace.properties file in order to change the TEXT_IO calls to CLIENT_TEXT_IO, however after i ran the forms migration assistant, the forms are not changing.
    I have the following line in my search_replace.properties file:
    Replace24=TEXT_IO|CLIENT_TEXT_IO
    What is the correct way to use the search_replace.properties file ?
    Thanks!
    Ramiro Ortiz

    You actually need to list all the TEXT_IO commands that are being used on separate lines, such as:
    Replace24=TEXT_IO.FOPEN|CLIENT_TEXT_IO.FOPEN
    Replace25=TEXT_IO.FILE_TYPE|CLIENT_TEXT_IO.FILE_TYPE
    Replace26=TEXT_IO.PUT|CLIENT_TEXT_IO.PUT
    Replace27=TEXT_IO.NEW_LINE|CLIENT_TEXT_IO.NEW_LINE
    Replace28=TEXT_IO.FCLOSE|CLIENT_TEXT_IO.FCLOSE

  • Forms Migration Assistant - Forms Path?

    Hi,
    I'm hoping somebody can help me. I'm attempting to use the Forms Migration Assistant and I'm having problems getting it to recognise attached libraries etc. Is there some sort of path that I can set to tell it where to look? I'm using 10gR2 developer suite and I'm using the assistant in wizard mode. I have tried setting the forms path in the registry and in the default.env file but this doesn't seem to make any difference. The only time I have had this working is if I modify the shortcut to the assistant to "Start in" the same folder as all of the libraries and forms which is less than ideal for our situation.
    Thanks in advance.

    For anybody else that comes across this problem. Apparently, the regular forms_path should be picked up by the migration assistant however there is a bug with the GUI version of the tool that prevents this from happening. If you use the command line version then apparently the tool works fine.
    However, if like me you intend to use the GUI version you can manually edit the frmplsqlconv.bat file to include your forms_path. There is a metalink note about this, the doc id is 454053.1

  • Forms Migration Assistant Usage

    Hi all,
    I am not able to understand the clear usage of Forms Migration Assistant yet.
    I have seen in Forums that Forms 6i applications can be migrated to 11g just by recompiling the forms and running it on 11g.
    If this is the case , whats the clear usage of Forms Migration Assistant?
    Is it meant to be used for some complex Forms built on 6i or 9i ?
    When do we use migration assistant instead of just recompiling the forms and running it on 11g ?
    Can anyone help me out ?
    Thanks,
    Ram

    It does some changes; for example when you have calls to run_product for reports this get's replaced by rp2rro.run_product, the rp2rro library is attached and the reports object is added to the form. You also get notified if you have calls to get_file_name in your form as this built in is deprecated.
    cheers

  • 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?

         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.

  • 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.

  • Exchange 2013 Migration Questions

    Exchange 2013 SP1 to a new server. I just realized that I have been asking migration questions on the "general" forum. Here's the deal:
    We just want to move to a newer server and reuse the "old" server as a DAG member. We have a production exchange 2013 SP1 server and I found that the DB is not on a RAID'ed drive. So, we purchased a server. I installed 2012 R2 and all windows updates.
    Then installed exchange 2013 SP1. Then got our AS/AV software installed. When I boot the new server up and login to ECP, it sees all the exchange users, DB and info. So, I followed:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd876926(v=exchg.150).aspx
    to migrate users and current email to the new DB. However, when users logged in their current email was not there. I also tried to use the ECP migration option and this resulted in the same, users old email was not in their inbox. So I had to perform that
    same process on the old DB to get users old email back. I then tried to use the migration option in the ECP->same issue. So as of now, we are on the old DB and things are working fine.
    According to:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa997006(v=exchg.65).aspx
    When moving from server to server, the DB filename must be the same. The non-production server does not have the same DB filename. Could this be the problem? Could someone point me to documentation on migrating from server to server

    So I ran Get-Mailbox -Database “Source Database Name” " -ResultSize Unlimited | New-MoveRequest -TargetDatabase “Target Database Name” and moved all the user mailboxes. Then moved the system mailboxes, public folders and
    OAB. Adjusted send connector to reflect new server. Log in as a user, all email is there. Great! Dismount the old DB. Wait a few minutes and user email is still there. Woohoo! Shut down the old exchange server and a few minutes later, all email is gone. Boo!
    Boot the old server back up and mount the old DB, all email is back in user inbox. How do I use only the new DB in exchange 2013?
    So I just dismounted the old DB and all email stays in users inbox?! So it must be something with the old server that did not get moved over but for the life of me I cant figure out what
