Forms services and form builder

Hi,
We are installing Oracle Forms 10g Application Server 10.1.2.0.2. What is difference between
Form Services and Form Builder. Which one developer should be used for migration,qa purpose?
Thanks
sandy

Sandy,
Oracle Forms Services is a part of the Oracle Application Server and is used by the apps server to display a Form built with Oracle Forms. Forms run inside a Java container in a Web Browser (Internet Explorer, etc.).
Oracle Forms Builder is a Rapid Application Development (RAD) tool used for creating user interface applications. Your developer will use the Forms Builder to create new or modify existing Forms applications.
I'm not sure what you mean by Migration and QA. Are you migrating from an older version of the Forms Builder? As to QA, who ever is performing the QA would need the Forms Builder only if they need to look at the PL/SQL code in a Form for standards compliance, proper logic, etc.
Hope this helps.
Craig...

hi

Please explain what are form groups and form routines

Hello ABAP Experts,
Could you please explain what are form groups and form routines? I would certainly appreciate some examples.
Thank you in advance, Aleksandra

Hi,
I've found the Form Group in transaction J7LE. It is part of Industry Specific solution for hi tech companies, so I'm not sure if you'll be able to access it. In this tcode you define master data of your partner. The first step is to choose the Form Group - they simply group Form Routines. Depending on which one I choose, different entry fields get activated. However there are routines that will enable input to the same fields, so I suppose there must be some additional functionality behind it. Could you please specify what does it mean?
>>Form ROUTINES, are subroutines for modularizing your code<<
I'm afraid I have no ABAP experience at all...
Cheers, A.

Confused between form 9i and form 6i

When I try to download oracle form 9i from oracle web site, the list is only the oracle form 6i R2( latest version? i guest).
Is it form 9i and form 6i R2 is the same?

Forms9iAS will be released soon, according to the project manager Ronald Grand ([email protected]). See his message:
"Jan, Oracle9i Forms is still awaiting release. We have actully completed the development work on Forms but as you may know, this is delivered as part of the iAS/iDS suite and so we are awaiting final integration.
With respect to migration to the web. If let me know your specific questions and I will address them. The good thing about going to the the web is that so many customers have migrated it means that alot of the issues you may hit are already well known with readily available solutions.
If you have specific questions, it may even be worth posting on the OTN forum - that way you can get the real world experiences of developers. I always monitor this anyway so I can answer as well."

Do I need special version of forms 2000 and forms 6i for Xandros Linux?

Hi,
Please tell me if someone knows that, do i need any special version of forms 2000 and forms 6i
for 'xandros Linux' or the same can be install which we usually use for windows xp or 2000.
Regards and thanks in advance.

Have in mind that Xandros is not certified. However, the biggest problem if the distribution is a newer on is about OpenMotif libraries as Developer 6i installation requires version 2.1.30 to install successfully.
If it may be of any use, there's a guide on installing on [SLES 8|http://knol.google.com/k/cuauhtmoc-amox/install-oracle-developer-6i-on-suse/153594c4goidl/3].

Installing WorkFlow with ARES, Form Manager and Forms

Hi All,
I'm having issues when trying to install WorkFlow with ARES, Form Manager and Forms.
I've followed these steps:
1. Installed Forms v. 7.1
2. Installed Form Manager v. 7.0.1
3. Installed ARES v. 7.0 (using a trust directory with a keyfile, etc.)
4. Installed Workflow v. 7.0.1 with Turnkey option checked.
5. Ran configuration manager.
The progress gets to 12% then displays the error code "LCMerror101" with the message "Livecycle module pdfagent-client could not be copied to working directory".
I don't know what this error means, can someone help me?? I know the issue isn't related to disk space (20+ gigs free) and I'm using the administrator account to install. Any suggestions or tidbits of info would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Stone.

Differences between Forms 6i and Forms 9i

Hi
Where can I get documentation to know the major differences between forms 6i and Forms 9i? I heard one major difference is that Forms 9i does not support client/server architecture. I need to confirm this.
Thanks

Check out the various papers available on:
http://otn.oracle.com/products/forms/content.html
Here you'll find the new features in 9i listed and also a document listing in some detail the things that have been obsoleted in the 9i release.

InfoPath Forms Services and c2wts

Hi
Does/Can InfoPath Form Services use c2wts or not? I seem to find conflicting information.
Setup:
Single server with SharePoint 2013 and SQL Server 2012.
InfoPath form which calls a custom web service that is also on the same machine. The web service only receives the application pool identity. SSRS seems to work fine within SharePoint, so InfoPath seems not to use c2wts. I also assume because it is a single
machine kerberos does not need to be setup?
Specifying a SSO in the udcx works around the issue, but it isn't a viable solution.
Thanks

See http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/sharepoint-online-service-description.aspx. You need an E3 or E4 license to use IFS.

Forms Services and 9iAS Installation iisues

I need to use 9iAS and Forms and Report services only for my application. IS Portal a requirement for this. Is there a way that I could install the 9iAS core edition and then selectively install only Forms and Report Service?
Any help would be welcome.
Thanks

Arul Arul,
No, you cannot just install Forms and Reports without Portal and Wireless. You can however, stop the services that you don't need to use after installation.

Recognizing Forms 6i and Forms 10g

Hi,
I have a folder which has a mix of forms from 6i and some from 10g (which was migrated). But since all these are in the same folder, is there any way I can know before even opening the form whether its a 6i form or 10g. I dont want to open any 6i form in the 10g version cause some of them are not supposed to be migrated. Please let me know how to open my forms cause I dont know which form is which version.
Thanks.

And don't ever open a form from the 6i folder with Forms 10g. Next thing you know, you will save the form from the Forms Builder, and that will render it impossible to open from 6i.
Since I still develop in 6i, I make all my changes there, and save the form. Then if I want to see it run in 10g, I have a Windows DOS .bat command file that copies the fmb to the Forms 10g folder, then calls the 10g compiler. I rarely even open the Forms 10g Builder.

Please help with Forms server and forms

Hi, all
I am new to oracle.
Mine is home PC and the spec. of the system are as follows.
database:Oracle 8i EE
Forms :6i
OS :Windows 2000
Yesterday I downloaded Oracle9iAS Server and followed the documentation in installing.
As per the documentation, I accepted default values in many cases and went thru with installation.
At the end of the installation, i got the following config(found at the bottom of the message).
Please give me steps in resolving the issues below.
Also,
when I run the "Run form from web" from Programs....
what if the web listener port is taken. how do we figure out if one is already in use and if so what are other ports available to me.
and finally in the same app. is "Web Host" the name of my computer on which I installed the Oracle server?
TIA
Shankar

But I did a search for 6iServer.conf and did NOT locate any such file
Please help
TIA
SHANKAR
Shankar,
It would have helped if you had indicated what is the full version of 9iAS that you have installed. By default the portnumber that is used is 7778.
As per the entries, they should have already been made in the config files. But check that the 6iServer.Conf file and it should contain the entries that you are being told to update. If not, then add the entries in the 6iServer.conf file and that is all you need.
HTH.

Forms 6i and Forms 9i

I am current obtaining my OCP (Developer) in about 3 weeks. 1 test to go. I was wondering. the certification is based on the 6i release, now that forms 9i is out, should this be a concern to me, as in should I start to learn forms 9i, or stick with 6i for awhile. What are the companies forecasting their usage as? Is 6i going to be supported for awhile, or is my new certification just a stupid piece of paper?
Thanks

Oracle9i Forms is like Forms 6i, but with added features. Therefore, whatever you learn about Forms 6i pertains to Oracle9i Forms as well. Moreover, Forms 6i client/server and character mode will be supported until 2006 (or 2008 with extended support).
So it's not just a worthless piece of paper. :)

Web services and forms

I´m very new at this... I want to use a web service in an Oracle Forms9i application, I have created a stub in JDeveloper, added path to CLASSPATH and used the Java Importer in Forms to create a PL/SQL package. So far so good. Now to my problem, I dont understand how to use the PL/SQL package... The web service I want to use is http://webservices.scandinavian.net/flightstatus/FlightService.asmx?WSDL, it is a web service that returns information about flights.
So is there anyone who knows how to use this web service?
The PL/SQL code that was generated looks like this:
PACKAGE FlightServiceStub /* SAS.FlightServiceStub */ IS
-- DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - it is machine generated!
-- Constructor for signature ()V
FUNCTION new RETURN ORA_JAVA.JOBJECT;
-- Method: GetFlightStatus (Lorg/w3c/dom/Element;)Ljava/util/Vector;
FUNCTION GetFlightStatus(
obj ORA_JAVA.JOBJECT,
a0 ORA_JAVA.JOBJECT) RETURN ORA_JAVA.JOBJECT;
END;
PACKAGE BODY FlightServiceStub IS
-- DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - it is machine generated!
cls ORA_JAVA.JCLASS;
fid ORA_JAVA.JFIELD;
mid ORA_JAVA.JMETHOD;
args JNI.ARGLIST;
-- Constructor for signature ()V
FUNCTION new RETURN ORA_JAVA.JOBJECT IS
BEGIN
cls := JNI.GET_CLASS('SAS/FlightServiceStub');
mid := JNI.GET_METHOD(FALSE, cls, '<init>', '()V');
args := NULL;
RETURN (JNI.NEW_OBJECT(cls, mid, args));
END;
-- Method: GetFlightStatus (Lorg/w3c/dom/Element;)Ljava/util/Vector;
FUNCTION GetFlightStatus(
obj ORA_JAVA.JOBJECT,
a0 ORA_JAVA.JOBJECT) RETURN ORA_JAVA.JOBJECT IS
BEGIN
cls := JNI.GET_CLASS('SAS/FlightServiceStub');
mid := JNI.GET_METHOD(FALSE, cls, 'GetFlightStatus', '(Lorg/w3c/dom/Element;)Ljava/util/Vector;');
args := JNI.CREATE_ARG_LIST(1);
JNI.ADD_OBJECT_ARG(args, a0, JNI.GET_CLASS('org/w3c/dom/Element'));
RETURN JNI.CALL_OBJECT_METHOD(obj, mid, args);
END;
BEGIN
cls := JNI.GET_CLASS('SAS/FlightServiceStub');
END;

Hi Rajesh,
The WSDL you have mentioned in your original email is not available; getting back some .NET error page:
Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed
If you can use our latest Developer Preview drop (DP4), take a look at the How-To documents [1] - How-To Develop a Web Service From a WSDL Document should help you.
You can also take a look at the genProxy command, in chapter 16 of the User Guide [2]. Chapter 13 is also a good place to get started.
Hope this helps,
Eric
