Forms6i and oracle 8i

dear all
I installed oracle server 8i and it works fine .after that I
installed oracle forms 6i but I can not connect to the server
from the forms and I found
the following errors
the following error I found when I entered only username and
password in forms query or forms SQL PLUS environment
TNS : unable to connect to destination
and sometimes when I enter the db string I found the
following error:
invalide driver designator
please explain every step in the solution because I am not
experienced developer
best regsrds

Hi,I am a new comer too, and I had the same problem like you.
I solved this problem by this:
You should try copying TNSNAMES.ORA from your oracle_home
directory/Network/Admin (my path is D:\ORA81\NETWORK\ADMIN) to
the Forms' home directory /Net80/Admin (my path is D:\ORANT\NET80
\ADMIN).
It's Marco's solution, but a guy called OT said it didn't work,
I don't know why, he just said his own solution is:
install Forms 6 first, then install the Ora 8i.
Hope this could help you.

Forms6I and Oracle Client

What Oracle Client (8.0.5 or 8.1.6) should be used for Forms6I. Would an 8.0.5 client have performance issues with Forms6I

Hi,
I would be interested in this topic as well.
I'm fooking for functionality which makes possible to store at admin level db access information and EUL, etc., regarding Discoverer, and for each user its own, attached this to SSO users. Thats the way Resource Access Descriptors work in 9i Forms and Reports.
Resource Access Descriptors make possible to provide for our users only the SSO username and SSO pwd. Everything else related to db connection information is handled in the background by the application server's servlets.
Are the Oracle's technologies related to SSO convergent?
I hope so...
Any help or workaround would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Andras

Forms6i and Oracle Database8i Enterprise

Hello all. I am having a very tough time getting my oracle forms 6i and database 8i to talk to each other. If someone could help me out, that would be great. I know you need to install 6i first then 8i enterprise. I know you also have to put in some lines of code into your tnsnames.ora file in order for it all to work. If someone could post what I need to put in (the more detail the better), it would be very highly appreciated.
Thank you,
Guy

Firstly configure the listener in the server and start the services.. u could find the services icon in the control panel of Windows NT, try connecting from the node , even after this, u cannot able to connect, uninstall the complete forms 6i from the client and reinstall in a new directory, and configure the net 8 easy config and specify the proper IP,HOST Name and Exact SID .. u shd. be able to connect, if u r connecting the first time, try using System/Manager Login , much b'fore try connecting to the database using Sql*Net in the server itself, if it works fine .. then u shd. be able to connect from the client using the above suggestions..

Hierarchical Tree IN Oracle FORMS6i and oracle 9i

Hi ,

The display is as follows when the user comes to this screen.
CTRLBLK1 CTRLBLK2
SCOTT This block is hidden
John
The way I want it when the user is clicking scott it is displaying the records in the other block
the full tree expanded not collapasble.
Scenario1
CTRLBLK1 CTRLBLK2
SCOTT President
VP
Manager
Same is over here in scenario2
Scenario2
CTRLBLK1 CTRLBLK2
John President
VP
Manager
Clerk
The tree should be displayed not collapsed. What is way to do the above
in forms. I tried to do the way suggested in OTN. But i didnot reached to the solution.
The way I want it when the user is clicking scott it is displaying the records in the other block
the full tree expanded not collapasble.
Pls help.
Thanks,
PS

1) create a item Hierarchical Tree,
ANS: The tree is created
2) put this to pull in data to the Tree
DECLARE
l_query VARCHAR2(500);
BEGIN
l_query := '';
FTREE.SET_TREE_PROPERTY ( c_tree_blk_item_nm, FTREE.QUERY_TEXT, l_query );
FTREE.POPULATE_TREE ( c_tree_blk_item_nm );
go_node ( c_tree_root_node );
IF FTREE.GET_TREE_PROPERTY (c_tree_blk_item_nm, FTREE.NODE_COUNT ) = 1 THEN
po_found := FALSE;
ELSE
po_found := TRUE;
END IF;
END;
Ans: I wrote this code in WHEN_NEW_FORM_INSTANCE trigger. But the code didnot got compiled . I did cut and paste of query too.
Pls help me in defining the c_tree_blk_item_nm and go_node ( c_tree_root_node ). I was thinking some code of this type would work.
The code itself didnot got compiled. It didnot ran.
3) put this coding into WHEN-TREE-NODE-SELECTED trigger under the item, this is to populate the data to other block when u select the tree node.
IF :SYSTEM.TRIGGER_NODE_SELECTED = 'TRUE' THEN
GO_BLOCK ( 'BK_AGT' );
EXECUTE_QUERY;
SYNCHRONIZE;
end if;
BK_AGT is the 2nd control block .
Help me in solution for this scenario in creating the hierarchical tree in forms6i.

Forms6i and oracle JSP

Hi All!.
I developed a form whic is not based on any base table for passing parameter to reports.
This form has a startup procedure, and accepts a parameter. Depending upon the parameter, it queries a table which gives the detail to form about what are the field required, and how they will be placed in the canvas and also the maximum size of the canvas and the window. These all are handled at runtime with the help of triggers and some form level procedures.
But my problem is when this form is requested through a browser (forms 6i server) by the marketing officers (they normally logs in through the dialup line) has to weight a a couple of minutes to get it displayed (because of appletbased technology). Hence I decieded to change this to JSP.
Can anybody help me out how can I do that....?? Is there any tools available which can directly convert the forms binary to a JSP page....
An early reply will be highly solicited.
With Regards.
Soumen.

There are some companies that offer tools for such a migration. Check out http://otn.oracle.com/products/forms/htdocs/FormsJavaSOD.html

Oracle forms6i and Oracle server 10G compatability

Does anybody know if I can run 6i forms with 10G server?

Not sure about 10g Rel 2 (I didn't try it). I used Forms 6i with 10g Rel 1 without problems.
But be aware that, anyway, the combination is not certified.

Oracle Spatial and Oracle Forms

Hi,
Does anyone have experience with Oracle Spatial and Oracle Forms?
I have generated a form, which is based on a view. The view uses the mdsys.sdo_relate operator. Somehow I am unable to get the form to perform (to get one record it takes over 20 minutes). While useing sql-navigator to process the same statement it seems no problem. The query that also uses the view, is then processed in 10 seconds.
I also noticed that when text-functions like ' lower' of ' upper' are used to query the view, the query is processed within 15 seconds. If I don't use ' lower' or ' upper' it takes a long time (> 20 minutes) to process the query. Is it possible that this causes the bad performance of the form?
On metalink I have found that forms and spatial do not cooperate because of the pl/sql version that
forms6 uses. There is no solution presented, does anyone know of a work around?
My configuration is:
Oracle 8.1.7 on WIN2K @ PIII-800Mhz 256 Mb memory.
Formsbuilder 6
If requested I can post the queries that I have made.
With regards,

Hello Priya,
Look into the following.
1. Book - Pro Oracle Spatial for Oracle Database 11g by r. Kothuri, A. Godfrind, E. Beinat. This book provides a nice introduction on Oracle Spatial concepts and have examples.
2. Look at the Oracle Spatial & Graph User Guide
2. Book - Applying and Extending Oracle Spatial by S. Greener and S. Ravada. This book provides hands on information for advanced oracle spatial application developers. Practical guide on hands-on examples, Data models and develop cross-vendor database solutions.
3. This oracle spatial forum, once you understand these concepts.
In the future consider Certification on Oracle Spatial 11g Certified Implementation Specialist.

Unable to connect forms6i with oracle 10g

hi:
i am facing a problem to connect forms6i with oracle 10.2 g. i already make a entry in TNSNAMES.ora file in forms folder.
while i am trying to connect it dispaly "ORA-12203: TNS:unable to conect to destination" error.
please help. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Abhishek

Hi
i already make a entry in TNSNAMES.ora Another option...
1. Pls Verify that the net service name you entered was correct including no spaces.
2.Verify that the ADDRESS portion of the connect descriptor which corresponds to the net service name is correct.
3.Ensure that the destination process (for example the listener) is running at the remote node and the cabel of ur local net work connecting to ur server is well connected and working well.
4. Test ur local network cabel and try to make the connection to another computer set.
5.u can check from Start > control panel > administrative tools > services that the service name is started or not if it is Started Restarted or refresh it.
6. Ensure that the listener is running at the remote node and that the ADDRESS parameters specified in TNSNAMES.ORA are correct.
and the more ....
Hope this helps...

Bilingual support for forms6i and Reports6i

Hi
We are planning to use Oracle Developer 6i with forms6i and reports6i for a Client server solution and deploy only the runtime on Sun Solaris
Question: The users need multi-language support for the form labels and report headings etc..
However,the data in the database will be stored only in English and will be displayed only in English.
Please let me know if this is possible in Oracle Reports 6i and Forms6i (and how do we implement this)
Thanks
G.

null null ;-),
Yes you can do this. The way you do this is to use Oracle Translation Builder to translate the contained strings in Reports and Forms. After translation, export the strings back into the Forms and reports modules.
In Reports you use the rdf format to store multiple language strings and in Forms it's fmb. To get language specific application modules you need to compile the files with the NLS_LANG variable set to the traget language.
You can compile Forms applications using the Forms Developer interface or the ifcomp60 compiler. Similar for Reports, except that the compiler name is rwconverter. After this all you need to do is to start the applications in the language environment (NLS_LANG) set to target language. On the Web this is the default.env file in Forms, or the registry (or Unix environment) of the Reports Server. In client-server NLS is defined in the registry on Windows or in the environment on Unix.
Hope this helps.

Comparison between Forms6i and Forms9i

We have some client/server-based applications built in Forms6i and are considering to convert/rebuild them into Forms9i or JDeveloper as web-based applications. Has anyone done any comparison between Forms6i and Forms9i/JDeveloper? Or, can you point me to such documentation if existed?
Thanks.

For comparison between forms 6i and Oracle9i Forms check out the new features paper on:
http://otn.oracle.com/products/forms
Comparison to JDeveloper? How about the fact that you develop with Java language in JDeveloper and with PL/SQL in Forms.
I would suggest that first you try to run your application on the Web using forms 6i. This should be a very simple test to do. See how you like it and only then ask yourself if you really need to go to JDeveloper.

Forms6i and Report9

Hello everybody!
I am having some problems with the above mentioned programs: Forms6i and Report9.
1)
The problem with Forms6i occurs both with Windos XP and with Vista.
Installation is successful and I can run Forms as well as create and open the forms. The problem occurs when I try to connect to the database. The program crushes down after I insert account details and database.
I am using the latest version downloadable from oracle web site. I had no problem with a previous version.
Can anyone help me?
2)
The problem with Report9 occurs when I try to open the last created report in web mode. The report preview works but as I go in web mode I’m told to configure my browser, or to choose between some browsers… In any case, whatever I do, nothing happens. I succeeded opening Firefox but there was no report.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks!

Ciao Paolo,
Yestrday I made a search, I didn't find anything, except that for problems on DML Data Target Type property

I'am afraid
Ciao spero che qualcun'altro esaudisca la tua richiesta.
hope helps
(but it's for patch 14 Release 6.0.8.23:

Select query differences between oracle 9 and oracle 8.

Hi,
I have a problem using the select query between oracle 7 and oracle 9i I don't have the same result :
ex:
With oracle7
SQL> select 'champ1','champ2' from DUAL;
'CHAMP 'CHAMP
champ1 champ2
With Oracle 9
SQL> select 'champ1','champ2' from DUAL;
'CHAMP1' 'CHAMP2'
champ1 champ2
So Can someone tell me how to solve this problem ? Is there a parameter in oracle 9 to set?
Thanx.

Whenever you are posting anything over internet forums like this - you should be very careful about not just posting the details which requires to solve the problem - also should be sensible about your question.
This is not at all desired when you are posting such question. It may be because - you may not well aware of the fact.
My suggestion is -> First Go through the basics Of SQL in general.
Then go for any specific product like Oracle/ SQL Server/ Sybase etc.
And, finally learn the advanced commands of that DB.
You asked it - may be you thought the difference in output in terms of lines. But, that is not your actual output. That is the graphical display part only.
Anyway,
You can get the quite familier output by first type the following command ->
set lin 310Regards.

Oracle Single Sign on and Oracle Internet Directory

Hello Gurus,
What is the relationship between Oracle Single Sign on and Oracle Internet Directory.
To my understanding, OID is required to install SSO.
If OID already exist, can we just install SSO and go on integrating it to existing OID.
Great Thanks,

Hi Tim,
I've been working on this and could reproduce the issue with anonymous binds. A fix will be ready in 4.2.1.
So what I really need is the password used for login to pass to the is_member call.The P101_PASSWORD item does not save state. However, you can access the value during submit processing of the login page, for example in the post authentication function of your authentication scheme. People sometimes put code in there to query the user's groups (e.g. with apex_ldap.member_of2) and save them in an application. This item value can then be used in the authorization schemes.

Christian
