FORMS/REPORTS 6i using OCSM??

To Moderator,
This Question is to Moderator, but all are welcome to answer.
Where from we can get OCSM to install Forms/Report 6i on our Lan?
Is OCSM still support with Forms/Reports 6i.
Can we get any help on how to use OCSM for
Forms/Reports 6i?
We have got Oracle@Tools CD Pack v8 for Microsoft Windows 95/98/NT as part of our move to Release 11i.
We are current planning to install Oracle Forms and Reports Release 6i for our development on Windows95(0S) using OCSM.
After looking to into CD's for Oracle Forms and Reports in CD pack we could not find OCSM included.
Also we are using 16 bit Forms4.5 and Report2.5 , which was install using OCSM version 3.1.4.1.
What will be implications if we using Forms/Reports 6i with new version of OCSM?
Are there any known problem??
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Oracle Forms & Reports 6i using 11g database

Hello All,
We are in the process of upgrading our Oracle db to 11g, yet use client/server configuration for Oracle Forms & Reports. We were able to make this scenario work.
But, encountering one problem. When we invoke a/any report from the application's report menu it is prompting for login again ( that wasn't happening before ).
Is this a known issue? Are ther any work-a-rounds for this issue, if so, please suggest.

Forms/Reports created using Oracle9iDS on Windows 2K deployed on Oracle9iAS on Linux

I have got recently three Oracle Products namely, Oracle 9i Database, Oracle 9i Application Server (9iAS) and Oracle Internet Developer Suite (iDS). The Oracle 9i Database and Oracle 9iAS are installed on the RedHat Linux 7.3 Advanced Server. The Internet Developer Suite is for the MS Windows 98/2000 platform.
My question is whether my application developed using Forms 6i and Reports 6i available with Internet Developer Suite, on the MS Windows 98/2000 platform can be deployed on the Oracle 9iAS on Linux. If yes, what are the issues involved in this? If not, do I need to re-develop my application using iDS on Linux?
I would be grateful to get an early answer to my questions.

Hi,
Try open your fmb files on Linux 9iDS, if everything ok. Compile your form and try to run it.
I didn't check it myself, but I migrate forms from 4.5 forms to 6i forms without problems.
From Windows to Linux and back no problem, but you must remember to compile all forms for
target operating system (Linux or Windows).
Hope it helps,
Roman.

Form & Reports Server uses the wrong alias (localhost.localdomain)

We installed Oracle Application Server 9i (1.0.2.2.1) on a RedHat 7.1 machine. The database (8.1.7) is installed on another computer with RedHat 6.2 installed.
At the installation something goes wrong. He took the localhost.localdomain as alias for the computername and inserted this in some scripts - a large part of them are APACHE scripts.
Rerun the SSODATAN script solved the problem with the login server.
Install.log contains no errors!
But we have not found the points where the forms- and reportsserver is registerd.
It is possible to edit this entries by hand or is there a possiblity to install the forms- and report server manually.
Thx

Hi,
Its not possible to selectively install Forms and Reports, you will have to reinstall iAS.
Thanks,
Mathew

Development and Production Requirements for a Forms/Report application

Dear all,
We have an application witch run in client/Server mode using Forms/Reports 6i For 300 users.We want to migrate it on Forms/Reports 9I using Oracle 9IAS and Oracle 9IDB.
I would like to have advises about material requirements of both development and production environment((developer deskop, development appServer and databaseServer, end user desktop,production databaseServer and production AppServer).
Thank u for giving more details about my request.

I have my dev and production on 2 different databases/instances, and the workspaces have a different name aswell (think 'dev' and 'prod').
I do reuse my application ids, which makes the whole process a lot more manageable: easier for me to identify and replacing a whole application.
However, when i want to replace only 1 page, apex stumbles over the workspace. Bummer.
So i took an export of a page on both workspaces, and opened the files.
prompt Set Credentials...
begin
-- Assumes you are running the script connected to SQL*Plus as the Oracle user APEX_040100 or as the owner (parsing schema) of the application.
wwv_flow_api.set_security_group_id(p_security_group_id=>nvl(wwv_flow_application_install.get_workspace_id,1377027056414870));
end;
wwv_flow_application_install.get_workspace_id,1377027056414870));
I took both workspace IDs and keep them in a simple txt in my installation-files folder. Each time i need to import a page from dev->prod i go in the exported file from dev and change the workspace id to the id of my production workspace id. Everything works magically after that.
If your application ids also differ, you can try changing the id in the exported file aswell, but i can't tell if it works or not since i've not done that yet.
prompt Set Application ID...
begin
   -- SET APPLICATION ID
   wwv_flow.g_flow_id := nvl(wwv_flow_application_install.get_application_id,130);
   wwv_flow_api.g_id_offset := nvl(wwv_flow_application_install.get_offset,0);
null;
end;where of course you'd change around nvl(wwv_flow_application_install.get_application_id,130);

Installing a Forms & Report middle Tier (10.1.2) on a 10.1.3 farm

I have to install a new farm based on the 10.1.3 release. I will install the Infrastracture and one middle tier in two different Oracle Homes. The problem is that I need also Forms & Report Services, and we know that there will be no F&R services until release 11. The question is:
can I install a 10.1.2 middle tier instance on top of a 10.1.3 infrastructure (with a different Oracle Homve, of course)?
Thanks in advance
Rino

AS 10.1.3 doesn't have any infrastructure (as well as not having Web Cache etc). The latest full release is 10.1.2.0.2, which includes infrastructure and Forms/Reports. For Identity Management, I'd recommend the new 10.1.4.
As indicated above, the latest Forms/Reports release is 10.1.2.0.2 (patched to 10.1.2.2), which is the one you should use. You can install either the full Application Server 10.1.2.0.2 with Forms/Reports, or use the Forms&Reports Only release.

How to suppress extra form feed for character report printing using ORARRP?

Dear All,
We are using Oracle Application Server 10g (10.1.2.0.2) on Windows 2003 Server and most of our client PC's are Windows XP Professional machines. We are migrating our existing oracle application from 2-tier architecture to 3-tier architecture (6i to 10g). We have installed ORARRP utility for remote direct printing and to a limited extent we are successfull in getting the things work out for our system users, However, we are facing a problem using the ORARRP utility for which we are not able to find a solution till date.
We have configured ORARRP utility on every user's PC and the printing of bitmap reports is working well. However, while printing CHARACTER reports using ORARRP utility, after the report gets printed, an EXTRA FORM FEED is issued by ORARRP to the printer and because of this the printer stationary skips one extra page and advances to the next page. Please note that this EXTRA FORM FEED happens only while printing a CHARACTER REPORT.
Has anyone come across such a problem using ORARRP ? How can we avoid this extra FORM FEED from CHARACTER REPORT printing using ORARRP ? Is there any other tool which supports remote direct printing just like ORARRP?
I shall be highly obliged if anyone could reply to my queries ASAP.
Regards,
KrishnaKumar S

Please help ! I tried the "send_form_feed" and "postscript_dos_print" parameters without success. The extra form feed is always there. Thanks.

How can i call report 9i using developer form 6i

hi all
I want to run report 9i using form6i.
for example i create report in report 9i that use java class.
i must run this report with form 6i.
I use RUN_PRODUCT built in.
if my report dont use java class i haven't any problem
but when i import java class in my report, in runtime
with form6i i find "Report contains uncompiled PL/SQl"
message.(there is not uncompiled pl/sql)
is there any way to solve this problem?or is it possible
to do this?
any help appreciated.
Nahid Bastani

You need to use RUN_REPORT_OBJECT built-in instead of RUN_PRODUCT. Refer Integrating 9iAS Reports Services in 9iAS Forms services paper at http://otn-stage.us.oracle.com/products/forms/pdf/frm9isrw9i.pdf.

UNIX: problem running an DEV & QA environment using form/report servlets

UNIX: problem running an DEV & QA environment using form/report servlets
I am trying to setup on one server an DEV and QA environment using the Forms Servlet, Forms Listener Servlet and Report Servlet.
I think I have the Forms Servlet and Forms Listener Servlet running properly. The problem is setting up the DEV and QA environment for running reports.
For example, when in DEV environment I would like to run a report from a directory specified in the REPORTS60_PATH. This doesn't seem possible.
It might be easier if I describe my configuration first:
DEV: run all forms and reports from the directory /data/release/dev
QA: run all forms and reports from the directory /data/release/qa
---DEV & QA Settings Forms Listener Servlet:
zone.properties:
# DEV
servlet.fl60dev.code=oracle.forms.servlet.ListenerServlet
servlet.fl60dev.initArgs=EnvFile=/u01/app/oracle/product/ias/6iserver/forms60/server/dev.env
# QA
servlet.fl60qa.code=oracle.forms.servlet.ListenerServlet
servlet.fl60qa.initArgs=EnvFile=/u01/app/oracle/product/ias/6iserver/forms60/server/qa.env
---DEV & QA Settings Forms Servlet:
servlet.f60servlet.code=oracle.forms.servlet.FormsServlet
--- Settings for Reports Servlet:
servlet.RWServlet.code=oracle.reports.rwcgi.RWServlet
Custom Env files since we are using Developer 6i Patch 7
dev.env and qa.env
Here I specify FORMS60_PATH and REPORTS60_PATH,
eg: DEV -> FORMS60_PATH=/data/release/dev
REPORTS60_PATH=/data/release/dev
likewise for QA ../qa
In the formsweb.cfg file i have something like:
[dev]
serverURL=/servlet/fl60dev
form=test.fmx
[qa]
serverURL=/servlet/fl60dev
form=test2.fmx
I have tested the following and they work without problems:
1. forms listener test page, eg: http://webserver:7777/servlet/fl60dev
2. running forms from the 2 environments
eg: http://webserver:7777/servlet/f60servlet?config=dev
this runs the form in the FORMS60_PATH (/data/release/dev)
Now my problems start with Reports.
When I run a report from forms (using run_report_object) it will not run any reports
as specified in the REPORTS60_PATH
Even using this url:
http://webserver:7777/servlet/RWServlet?server=rep60&report=test.rdf&destype=cache&desformat=html&
userid=scott/tiger@test9i
It NEVER seems to pickup and use the REPORTS60_PATH. I have tried nearly everything.
I have gone throught the instructions in "Integrating Oracle9iAS Reports in Oracle9iAS Forms -
White Paper"
(http://otn.oracle.com/products/forms/pdf/277282.pdf)
and Forms6i Patch 7: Oracle Forms Listner Servlet for Deployment of FOrms on the Internet
(http://otn.oracle.com/products/forms/pdf/p7listenerservlet.pdf)
plus any other documents in metalink relating to forms, or report servlets. I am
totally confused, please help.
I have tried setting the REPORTS60_PATH in the following files without success:
custom.env (as specified by initArgs=EnvFile in zone.properties)
jserv.properties
in the zone.properties I have tried to set a custom env file for the report servlet:
servlet.RWServlet.code=oracle.reports.rwcgi.RWServlet
servlet.RWServlet.initArgs=EnvFile=/u01/app/oracle/product/ias/6iserver/forms60/server/dev_rep.env
NO LUCK.
The only place that I can set the REPORTS60_PATH
is in "[6iserver home]/reports60_server" file when I start the reports server (did I even
get this right - I do have to have a reports server running don't I?)
Does this meaan I have to run multiple report servers for each of my environments?
Based on all the documentation I thought that REPORTS60_PATH as specified in the files relating
to the forms servlet would be the place to specify the path.
As you will understand I am getting really fustrated with this and it seems to
me that the reports servlet configuration in 6i is really half baked and since 9i
is coming out it will never be fixed.

I am even not able to run forms servlets from two different forms60_path, Is there any configuration do you make other than what you have mentioned in this post.
I already open a TAR in this regard, I am still waiting reply from ORACLE.
Thanks,
Shaik Ather Ahmed

Which Forms/Reports Builder to use for R12.2.4 Apps?

We are working on upgrading from R12.1.2 to R12.2.4 and I'm reading the Oracle E-Business Suite Developer's Guide Release 12.2 (E22961-12) from March 2015. On page 1-5 it says to use Oracle Forms and Reports Developer 10g. However when I go to download said developer suite, Oracle says it's no longer supported and I should download the 11g forms and reports developer.
Does anyone know which is the correct version to use for any custom forms and reports in R12.2.4?
Thanks.
-jean

Hi,
It is the same as in 12.1.x.
You should continue using Forms & Reports Developer 10g 10.1.2.

Upgrade from 11i to R12 - Custom Forms,Reports and Workflows

Dear Community Friends,
We are planning for upgrade from oracle apps 11.5.10.2 to R12.
We have custom Forms,Form Libraries,Reports and Workflows.
Kindly provide me for approach on how to migrate Custom form libraries,reports and Workflows.
I beleive, this thread will exists as one shot point for custom forms,reports,workflow upgradation from 11i to r12 with detailed steps.
I know that many links exists here in the forum for all the above objects mentioned,but still from all those i am able to get a clear picture for oracle forms but not for custom form libraries ,reports and workflows.
Also,this post will provide a low level,practical picture of the steps for those who are in line with this.
Links i have read for all these in our forum are:
For Custom Forms,
Re: Planning to upgrade from 11i to R12
Re: Custom forms: After upgrading 11i to R12
ofcourse,'n' number of links exists providing metalink notes also.
Hussain,Helios and some others also has given many updates regd this.
For custom workflow upgradation,
Upgrade Workflow 11i to R12
Workflow Upgrade
Workflow Upgrade
For reports,links mentioned the below metalink notes:
Do Not Compile EBS R12 Reports Using rwconverter.sh or Reports Builder from IDS 10gR2 [ID 786794.1]
Using the OracleAS 10.1.2 Forms and Reports Builders with Oracle Applications Release 12 [ID 444248.1]
Per my understanding, after searching in many threads,i am here by summarising the practical low level steps for custom forms migration
Please correct me,if i am wrong.
1) Download the Forms(.fmb's) and all PLL's(all the PLL from resource folder in AU_TOP) into a Local Machine Folder
2) Open the forms using Forms Developer 10G and connect to DB
3) Compile by clicking compilein Forms Developer and then save it.
4) Upload the Saved Forms(.fmb's) into the new R12 server(system) in the respective custom paths(paths similar to 11i Server)
5) Compile all the forms using the command like below(example command is shown below or f60 gen commands or frmcmp.sh utility) in the respective custom form paths,
this will generate the .fmx's.
frmcmp_batch module=FORMNAME.fmb userid=apps/apps output_file=FORMNAME.fmx compile_all=yes
Link for compiling forms: https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/ui/km/SearchDocDisplay.jspx?_afrLoop=359210362972527&type=DOCUMENT&id=1085928.1&displayIndex=3&_afrWindowMode=0&_adf.ctrl-state=c348xvwbg_98
6) Open the form and check in R12 instance
As per my understanding for custom form libraries,we can just copy paste the PLL's from 11i server to R12 server (Please correct me,if i am wrong)
Can anyone please help me out in custom reports and custom workflows.Sorry that,i could not get a practical and clear picture for reports and also for workflow even after referring many threads and metalink notes mentioned.
As for reports,some says that Developer Suite 10g can be used and .rdf can be used in R12.
Some says that reports should be converted to XML published as reports does not exists in R12.
So,i am not clear on this.

As for reports,some says that Developer Suite 10g can be used and .rdf can be used in R12.
Some says that reports should be converted to XML published as reports does not exists in R12.
So,i am not clear on this.You can still use RDF files in R12, and just follow the approach you mentioned above, and you do not have to migrate them to XML publisher (though it is recommended, but this can be done after the upgrade as an enhancement task).
For custom workflow, you need also to do the same thing, open them using workflow builder and make sure they work in R12 (correct the code if required and save them again in R12 once they work properly).

Hussein

Open a Crystal Report preview using a button

Hello. I need to open a Crystal Report preview using a button from my add-on. I've already created my report, so I need to create the object, pass the parameters and open an screen with my preview. Does anyone has a C# example? Thank you.

hi,
this is code for open the crystal report press the button.
First import the crystal report using Report and layout manager
goto administration->setup->general--->Report and layout manager
create one button in add-on form.when we press the button the following event triggered.
get the docnumber for that particular form and pass it.
Case SAPbouiCOM.BoEventTypes.et_ITEM_PRESSED
                        If pVal.ItemUID = "btnPrint" Then
                            Dim strAcNcmr As Integer
                            strAcNcmr = objForm.Items.Item("txtDocNo").Specific.Value

How to add a new font into Report Builder and Oracle Forms/Reports Server?

Hi,
I've searched the forum and can't find this being discussed.
My developers run Report Builder 10.1.2.0.2 on their XP laptops.
Their reports run (in production) on Oracle Forms/Reports Server 10.1.2.0.2.
This server runs on MS Windows 2003, SP2.
They've got a client who wants reports using the "Garamond Western" font.
So....how do I get this font onto the developer's Report Builder laptops, and onto the Oracle Forms/Reports Server?
I've moved various 'Garamond' fonts into C:\WINDOWS\FONTS on both the laptops and the server, but neither seem to recognize it.
Thanks for your help.

Thanks.
This answers 1/2 of my question.
The developer can now use Report Builder on his laptop, with the new fonts.
But when he moves this new Report to the Oracle Application Server/Forms-Reports Server, it fails to use the new fonts.
The Oracle App Server/Forms-Report Server is Version 10.1.2.0.2. It runs on MS Windows 2003, SP2.
I have installed the exact same fonts on this server, into C:\WINDOWS\Fonts.
I have used REGEDIT to change REPORTS_PATH....and placed C:\WINDOWS\Fonts; as the first value in this field.
I have then stopped and restarted the Forms-Reports Server.
