Forms6i and Reports6i

Can anybody highlite on this, We will have to install Forms6i Server and Reports6i Server on different machines to work on Web.

Hi,
if you come from 6i then for Forms you need to run the Forms Migration Assistant (FMA) which will sweep out obsoleted built-in usage if existing. E.g. run_product is no longer an option to run integrated Oracle Reports

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
(FORMS) against to DB release 9, was suggested to install patch 14.
I'am afraid
Ciao spero che qualcun'altro esaudisca la tua richiesta.
hope helps

Difference between forms6i and 10g

Is there a big Difference between forms6i and 10g? Can someone with 6i experience use forms 10g without problems?
Thanks

In our company Forms applications are still developed in 6i C/S, but they run without modifications, just recompilation, on
- 6i C/S (obviously :-))
- 6i Forms server
- 9i Forms services 9.0.2
- 10g Forms services 9.0.4
- 10g Forms services 10.1.2
We have customers with all these architectures on Linux and Windows, and they have DBs from 7.3.4 to 10g.

Fonts and Reports6i

On a Win Nt4.0 (sp 6) OS, the default list of fonts doesn't include Helvetica. Yet on an Win95 OS it appears. In the C:\windows\fonts Directory neither have Helvetica.ttf. After checking the UIFONTS.ALI file, both Win NT and Win95 are the same. Can you give a suggestion that will display Helvetica in the font drop down list box. Thanks in Advance!

On reports6i, one user has a font type of Helvetica another doesn't yet the c:\windows\font direectory are the same as well as the uifont.ali. Any ideas??

Hierarchical Tree IN Oracle FORMS6i and oracle 9i

Hi ,
I have written all the scenarios as follows. Please write in steps to do this.
I have the follwing scenario to create the hierarchical tree.
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 c# libraries

Hi there
I'd thank any clue to work from Forms6i with libraries written in C#. Doing short the history, we want to pass a card for a optical reader, loading then from the database to Forms6i the information referencing to the card's "key field".
FFI and userexits work with C, right? but no with C#, am I wrong?
Could be Java a good choice to link forms with the library? the final runing will be C/S, no web.
Any help or sugestion will be nice, thanks in advance.

You are correct - no C# support. Java libraries, I don't have exprerince doing that (only used user exits with C) for the client/server. I am only implenting PJC's in forms (web).

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 iAS

For runnung the Forms6i Applications on the Web with Oracle iAS,there are 2 files ( base.htm or basejini.htm and formsweb.cfg). Can anyone tell me how to exactly modify these files and run the forms on the web?
Forms ae running nicely on the web with 'RUN A FORM ON WEB' option but i am not able to customize it.
Thanks

If you are running your forms on the web then the file is probably generated on the server machine and not on the client machine.
You can use web.show_document to get it to the client.

Forms6i and 10gR2 DB

Forms6i patch 17 (and onwards) works with 10gR2 DB (actually we also use patch 13, without problems). Is there an official document from Oracle, that certifies this compatibility ?
