How do i connect Developer 9i or Forms/Reports 6i, to Oracle 9i on XP Home?

Hello All,
I have Oracle 9i release 9.0.1 on XP Home and i am trying to install some form of Oracle Forms and Reports on it so that i can practice for my OCP developer exams but i haven't been successful.
I tried Oracle 9i Developer release 9.0.2 but i couldn't log on to the developer suite.
1. Would it be ok to install both the 9i Database and Developer Suite on XP Home?
2. If i can install both products on XP Home, how do i connect the 9i Developer Suite to the 9i database.
I tried logging in with the same default names of
Username: Scott
Password: Tiger
Host String: 'left the Host String portion blank' but i couldn't connect.
I am trying to install Oracle Forms and Reports 6i but i can't install because i can't put it into the default OraHome of 90.
Any suggestions on what i can do to get forms installed on XP home and how i can get it to connect to my 9i database? I would really appreciate any help i can get.
Sincerely,
Sam jr.

Hello,
I followed the instructions to install Oracle 9i Developer on XP home to connect with a 9i database on a different drive, but i am still having problems trying to get Oracle 9i to work with Forms and Reports.
To begin with, i installed Oracle 9i on drive D(because its bigger than C on my PC) and i was able to connect using the SCOTT schema although i had some configuration tools fail.
I believe the main one was the Oracle Intelligent Agent. The error stated that he Oracle OraHome90 Agent service could not be started and now it pops up as an error everytime i try to log unto my PC.
I tried accessing the error message NETHELPMSG 3534 but couldn't even pull up the document.
I believe i logged on using the SCOTT schema and the remembered i was supposed to restart the system so i did that.
Then i installed Oracle 9i Developer on drive C and got a message saying some configuration tools had failed and i believe among them was the Oracle Intelligent Agent and the Oracle Database Configuration Assistant. I didn't set up the SMTP outgoing mail server and i believe i didn't set up the Oracle HTTP service either.
Anyway, when i try to connect Forms or Reports Builder to the 9i database, i get an error message
ORA-12560: TNS : protocol adapter error.
I would really appreciate it if you could offer me some assistance as i need to get Forms and Reports working ASAP. I have looked at the documentation for 9i Developer but its not really helping. Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Sam Jr.

    How i can connect developer 6i & 2000 to databse 10g standerd addition one

    I don't think Developer 2000 is supported with 10g, I haven't tried it.
    Patch 18 for Forms 6i can only be downloaded from metalink since Forms 6i is no longer supported only limited support for E-Business Suite users.
    Why would waht to use Dev 200 and Forms 6i, these product are no longer supported, why no use the latest version of Forms Forms 10g R2???

  • Porting Forms/Reports when migrating Oracle 9i DB from AIX 5.2 to AIX 5.3

    Hi,
    Looking for advice on how to port Oracle Forms/Reports modules when moving our Oracle 9i database from AIX 5.2 to AIX 5.3 platform. Details are as below:
    Oracle Forms and Reports v6i (There is no version upgrade in Forms & Reports)
    Database is Oracle 9i (No upgrade in database)
    There is upgrade in hardware only : from AIX 5.2 to AIX 5.3
    The application is having some 8000 forms/reports modules
    Do we need to recompile the forms/reports after porting the 9i database to AIX 5.3 ?
    Any direction would be appreciated .. Thanks !!
    Regards,
    Himansu

    Hi,
    Thanks for the response, we are going to recompile the Forms/Reports in the new environemnt.
    Just wondering how much time it may take to recompile all the 8000 odd forms/reports modules.. ? Will 10 seconds per form/report module be safe enough for the compilation ? Because in a batch file every time it is going to connect to the database while compiling a module, I am assumming it may take some 5 seconds to 10 seconds for the compilation. Thanks for the help again.

  • How to change connection string for a form created with b1de

    Hi all
    i've created a form using the Code Generator tool ob B1DE
    My question is how can i set the connection string to a different server and database. doing so after the creation wizard has finished?

    Hi,
    Why do you need to change the connection string? What are you calling "connection string for a form"???
    The only connection string I now about is the one used to connect to the UI API... and this one is fixed for all apps in debug mode and given as parameter when your addon is registered in B1.
    The connection string is filled in the code of your generated addon.
    Please go to the main class of your addon, in the main method you have the following code where the connection string is filled either with the command line parameters (release mode) or with the fixed value given by SAP. This code doesn't need to be changed...
            public static void Main()
                int retCode = 0;
                string connStr = "";
                bool diRequired = true;
                // CHANGE ADDON IDENTIFIER BEFORE RELEASING TO CUSTOMER (Solution Identifier)
                string addOnIdentifierStr = "";
                if ((System.Environment.GetCommandLineArgs().Length == 1)) {
                    connStr = B1Connections.connStr;
                else {
                    connStr = System.Environment.GetCommandLineArgs().GetValue(1).ToString();
                try {
                    // INIT CONNECTIONS
                    retCode = B1Connections.Init(connStr, addOnIdentifierStr, diRequired);

  • How can I start developing Character-based forms

    Can any one help me? How do we develop Character-based forms? What are the advantages and disadvantages to GUI? Does the Character-based form works in windows or UNIX environment.
    Does the mouse works. I know forms 3.0. How can we start a form developing in a Character-based? Which properties we have to change for this.

    The property is coordination system at the module level.
    Character mode will run on unix machines with terminals or with terminal emulators on pc's.
    GUI looks better and gives the user more productivity in his work.

  • How to configure Oracle forms/reports 10g to Oracle Database 10g

    Dear All,
    I have downloaded oracle Developer Suite 10g for microsoft Windows (CD1/CD2) from edelivery.oracle.com.
    I have also downloaded Oracle 10g xe edition from oracle.com.
    Both above software are on the same machine.
    Now, I have creaated new database, created few tablespaces,tables,indexes,functions etc on it. SID_NAME=xe.
    I want to configure both the software(connect them) so that i can generate some reports, create forms and applications(on the same machine not on network).
    How do i do that?
    Best Regards,

    did you set tns_admin? do you know what it's for?
    don't edit tnsnames.ora manually if you can help it.
    you have 2 tnsnames.ora. one is from the xe install. the other is from the developer suite install.
    what does the one for your developer suite look like?
    if you used the the network config assistant in a straightforward way, then it should end up with an entry similar to what you have in your tnsnames.ora from your xe installation.
    the netconfig assistant has a TEST step in it. did you try that? you might need to change the username/password when you test it.
    the main thing here is the tnsnames.ora. the way it will be located is in a particular order. it will check in this order, more or less
    1. in current working directory
    2. TNS_ADMIN defined by the session
    3. TNS_ADMIN defined as a global environment (in control panel)
    4. TNS_ADMIN defined in registry
    5. default location (network\admin directory).
    so if your developer says it can't resolve the name, then it means it is not defined in the tnsnames.ora it used. you need to determine which tnsnames.ora file it's using, and is it configured correctly.
    if you did not set tns_admin, check your E:\DevSuiteHome_1\NETWORK\ADMIN\tnsnames.ora
    this is the one developer will use by default.
    it should have an entry similar to the one from your xe install e.g.
    XE =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = oraclelaptop.yic.edu.sa)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SERVICE_NAME = XE)
    then when you run forms/reports, you should connect as user/password@xe

  • How to refer a column name in form report

    Hi,
    How can i refer a column name in the form report. My issue is that " I have a form report in that i have column name when i use to click the column name it should bring me to next page with the corresponding values of the column."
    Here i have achieved that when i click on column name(in Page1) it brings me to next page(Page2). but in the next page(P2) i want to display(only display) the corresponding values of the selected column(Page1) but the values should not be editable and should not be in text field it should be in display only field.
    So how can i write a sql query in display only souce field. Ie, how can i refer the column name in(page1) form report.

    Hi Karthik
    Very good morning.
    I think u have column link in the first page and when u select a data in the first page and when u r moving to the next page the the corresponding data need to there is it correct.
    For example You have table Employee and u have a select list in the first page contains name of the employee when u select one name and corresponding datas of the employee need to be in the second page.
    So Dont clear the cache of the first page.
    I the next page make the page items as display only and give the source of the all items a returning the single sql query.
    If u have four items in the next page namely p2_sal, P2emp_no etc..
    Then use like this
    select sal from emp where emp_name=:P1_EMPNAME
    Hopes this might helps you.
    Thanks & Regards

  • Oracle forms & reports support on oracle 10g lite

    Currently our oracle forms & reports 6i application works on oracle 8i database with oracle 9i lite.
    We upgraded our database to oracle 9i r2 and lite to 10gr2.
    After publishing the application when i try to open the application the forms screen disappears for ever.
    I wanted to know whether oracle forms and reports 6i is supported on
    oracle 10g lite r2?
    Thanks,
    Ashok Kumar.G

    No. Not only it isn't certified, but it is also impossible to run forms compiled with the 11g compiler with the 10g runtime. For 11g there is a install bundle for the developer suite / application server.
    cheers

  • How do I connect a LiveCycle PDF form data to an Excel File

    I have a Livecycle Time sheet form that's being distributed in the field, what we want to do is be able to save the data directly to an EXCEL database, we want the data to auto populate the excel sheet with the forma data once the field user hit submit or email button.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    You should have a look at Stefan Cameron's site, which has many solutions for setting up data connections. Search for spreadsheet generally and here: http://forms.stefcameron.com/2006/09/18/connecting-a-form-to-a-database/.
    However please note that if the users have Reader, then the form would need to be Reader Enabled using the full LC Reader Extensions server component. Extending the form in Acrobat will not work.
    Hope that helps,

  • How can I connect the remote server which is installed with oracle

    Now my computer is in my home,in my computer there is installed with the oracle 9i client,the server is also installed with oracle 9i,which is in my company.Now I want to use sql*plus to connect the database of the server through the internet work.I have created one listener service name in my home computer,but can't test successfully and the sql*plus can't connect the database.Who can tell me how to do it?Thank you!

    Technical questions need to be addressed to one of the technical forums-- Products | Database | Database - General in this case.
    Unless you are VPN-ing in or the DBA's at your company have configured Oracle Connection Manager to allow you to connect through the firewall to the database, however, I doubt this will work. If they have configured Connection Manager, you'll have to ask them to provide you with connection information. 99.9% of the time, you do not want people to access a database via the internet.

    Did you literally go into your tns file and put all of your specific envirnmental specifications?
    Is the listener up and running?
    Are you using the right alias?

  • How can I store the results of a report in an Oracle table ?

    In OBIEE 11g, we need the records resulting from the execution of a report, to be stored in an Oracle table.
    Is this possible ?. Thanks.

    GSR Hi, first of all thanks for your response.
    What I'm wanting to do is not exactly what you're proposing.
    What I want is that an end user can run a report and that the results be automatically stored in an Oracle table. Without manual intervention. Other BI products perform this action, and I need to do it with OBIEE. Thanks.

  • 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);
