How safe to go for 9iAS in Windows.

Hi Guys
Good Day Guys? We are planning for Migration from 6i to 9i with 9iAS. How safe is it to go for 9iAS? What are the major problem faced during migration?
Thanks for your help
Diogo

I would like to add couple of things - based on my recent experince.
We have a client/server 6i forms/reports application running on Linux and Solaris, which I have recently ported to iAS 10g (9.0.4). My biggest issue was the fonts and icons, but the entire application (more forms , less reports than you have) took only a week. Still have problem with the graphics - still depends on the 6i graphics :( -- most of the charts are now in reports. There are some "form properties" that are obsolete now, and on linux non of the vbx, etc is supported. I am not sure that applies to the windows version of iAS.
You should also consider licensing. If you are licensed for full stack of iAS EE (includes forms/reports services), then you better utilize single sign on (for added security) and portal, etc. I really liked the portal capabilities. If you only licensed for the Forms/Reports services, then you have no other option (and no headache for sso, infra metadata repository, etc) by default.
For training, I took some courses from Oracle. One of them was the iAS administrator I course. In that particular course, they do not teach deploying forms at all. And if you only deploy Forms/Reports services, I don't thing the iAS administrator II (second part of the course) will not worth the money - they have a CD based offering for that and I think for ~400$ that is a better deal. I was able to deploy our forms/reports on iAS with not too much of a problem (after reading the manuals and white papers from OTN/Metalink). If you are licensed for full stack, then Portal class is really nice - I highly recommended (I can even suggest a particular instructor if you are interested). Oracle also has a class teaching how to develop java by using JDeveloper. That might be very useful for your java programmer/s - given that JDeveloper is now free and includes Oracle Application Development Framework. Even if you are not going to use the full stack of iAS, knowing JDeveloper is nice to complement Forms applications.
Another thing is that certain version of Windows OS (2003 server) might be required to run Forms/Reports Services. There is a FAQ pdf file on OTN, also it a certification matrix is available on Metalink (if you have a valid CSI# you can open an account on Metalink).
hope this proves useful.

  • How to configure apache for ssl in windows platform

    hi all,
    can anyone help me expalin how to configure apache for ssl in windows platform.

    George,
    I would take the following 'first steps'
    1)Install Apache20 on your Windows machine following the Apache online documentation
    http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/misc/tutorials.html
    2)Make sure you can 'serve up' static HTML content from your Apache Server
    3)Install Weblogic Server per our online documentation
    http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs61/install/index.html
    4)Also, make sure you can 'serve up' both static and dynamic (e.g., JSP) content
    directly from WLS server
    5)Once you have both of the above 'sanity' checks attempt to configure a simple
    proxy by ppath or mime type via our online documentation

  • How to install "turbotaxdeluxe2010"for mac or window on linux?

    I bought "turbotaxddeluxe2010" for Mac or Windows by mistake and would like to insstall it in"ubuntu"(linux}. Is it possible?
    turbotax2020 website said it could be done if it is downloaded online from mozilla fire fox

    Download MS Office for Mac 2011 from Microsoft, use it for 30 days, and if you like it purchase a product key. Alternately you can buy a disc with the activation code from Amazon, MacMall, or a number of other online retailers (generally for $30-50 less than what Microsoft charges).

  • How to format HDD for mixed Mac/Windows on shared USB drive

    I've been doing a lot of reading so that I can get my new Seagate 500MB USB external drive connected via my AEBS. I'll be sharing the USB with a G3 PowerMac, an iBook, two XP and one Vista Laptop. I've been able to print from all machines to my Canon i960 and set up seemed easy. I'm confused as to how I should format the HD, should if be HFS+ so both windows and Mac can use? I've read some say MS-DOS partition will be best especially if you want to have bigger than 32GB partition and for files greater than 300MB. I'll be putting pictures, iTunes and likely some ripped DiVX videos as well as some DVR's to share across the network. I'll be using a Belkin powered USB Hub to connect the HD and the printer to the AEBS.
    Thanks,
    Jim

    If you are connecting the drive to the USB port on theAirPort Extreme base station (AEBS), for best performance format the drive HFS+ (Mac OS Extended). Both Windows and Mac clients will be able to access and use the drive.
    The only other formats recognized by the AEBS are FAT32 and FAT16.

  • How to install update for iTunes on windows vista

    I Just got an iPhone 5s and when I pulled my phone into my computer it's says I have to update my iTunes in order to get to my iphone through iTunes and the update comes up for iturns 12.0.1 but everytime its goes to update it says there was an error. Please help I don't want to have to delete iTunes and reinstall it because I'm afraid of losing all my content.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • How to change CPI for a particular window in SAPScript

  • How to install CS6 for Mac on Windows?[was: I believe]

    I have PSCS6 on one computer, a Mac.  I wish to install the program on a PC laptop. I believe one may install the progam on two computers.  I can download it but it is the Mac version which will not install on the PC.  Is there a way that Adobe will let me change platforms on the "two computer" allowance?

    If you have a Cloud account (subscription version), then the software is multi-platform licensed already.
    If you have a perpetually licensed version (paid for in full upfront) then the license is platform specific and is tied to your Mac.
    There is a platform swap process but it's only for current software versions and it's a permanent swap from Mac to Windows or vice versa.

  • How to manage playlist for Zen with Windows 7?

    After upgrading to Windows 7 (with WMP2), I noticed that I can no longer make or edit playlists for my 32GB Zen with either WMP2 or the Zen Media Explorer. Anyone know if there is a solution to this, apart from installing another third party media manager?

    I have this problem too.
    I can see my playlists, but cant modify them or add to them. I have been using winamp to create and modify new ones, but winamp doesnt recognise old .zpm types. Hopefully someone has found a fix for this... or better yet creative could release a windows 7 compatible media explorer.
    I would gladly use another 3rd party media manager if it works with playlists properly on my Zen, but have tried many with no success.

  • How safe is Skype (for Mac)?

    Are there any security concerns that I should be worried about? I'll be using it to communicate with people i don't know in real life. Can I be hacked in any way over the line? Also, are there settings to prevent the webcam from accidentally being used?
    Moreover, I also read that a while ago, there was an exploit in Skype, specifically for Mac, that made it 'wormable'. Surely this has been fixed?
    So, is the App and especially, Skyping completely safe, providing I don't click on any links that are sent?
    Thanks!

    I don't know of any security issues with it - you can choose not to let it access your Mac contacts, and disable auto-updates if you prefer. There are privacy options as shown below.

  • How to prevent iTunes for Windows from "Updating iTunes Library"? (Library is on a NAS and managed by iTunes for Mac. Now getting update wars between Mac and Windows versions of the player.

    How to prevent iTunes for Windows from "Updating iTunes Library"?
    My library is on a NAS and managed by iTunes on a Mac. I can connect from wife's Windows laptop using iTunes for Windows but every time I do, it Updates iTunes Library. Next time I log in from my Mac it Updates iTunes Library in return. It appears I'm experiencing "Update Wars" between the Mac and Windows versions of iTunes. I would like to allow my wife to stream iTunes songs to her new laptop but I don't want any updates from this source... prefer to manage the library from my Mac and not allow Windows to do any thing other than listen to existing playlists.
    Thanks for any help/suggestions.

    Connect the PC to the library on the NAS. Wait while "updated".
    Under Edit > Preferences > Advanced make sure the media folder is correctly pointed at the media folder on the NAS. If not correct, close iTunes, wait a few moments, then open iTunes again.
    Close iTunes on the PC. Do not open iTunes on the Mac.
    Copy the library files, iTunes Library.itl, iTunes Library Extras.itdb, iTunes Library Genius.itdb, sentinel and the folder Album Artwork into an empty iTunes folder on the PC, for example C:\iTunes.
    Click the icon to start iTunes and immediately press and hold down SHIFT. Keep holding until prompted to choose or create a library. Click choose and browse to the copied .itl file, e.g. C:\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl
    The library should now work properly on the PC, however check the setting for the media folder. If needs be correct, close iTunes and reopen.
    Open iTunes on the Mac. It will update again, but that should be last time.
