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

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

Oracle Forms & Reports 6i using 11g database

Hello All,
We are in the process of upgrading our Oracle db to 11g, yet use client/server configuration for Oracle Forms & Reports. We were able to make this scenario work.
But, encountering one problem. When we invoke a/any report from the application's report menu it is prompting for login again ( that wasn't happening before ).
Is this a known issue? Are ther any work-a-rounds for this issue, if so, please suggest.

Sounds like a problem with case-sensitive passwords. there are several forum-posts about that problem. Start here

Installing Forms&Report Services with Oracle Application Server 10g Rel 3

Can I Install Forms & Report Services with Oracle Application Server 10g Release 3 some how?
I am thinking of installing Forms & Reports Services in separate home with Oracle Application Server 10g Rel 3.
Does any body has any different idea so that they both can run more smoothly together.
Thanks

They WILL NOT RUN TOGETHER. We have discussed this many times before. They must be in separate homes.

How to add a new font into Report Builder and Oracle Forms/Reports Server?

Hi,
I've searched the forum and can't find this being discussed.
My developers run Report Builder 10.1.2.0.2 on their XP laptops.
Their reports run (in production) on Oracle Forms/Reports Server 10.1.2.0.2.
This server runs on MS Windows 2003, SP2.
They've got a client who wants reports using the "Garamond Western" font.
So....how do I get this font onto the developer's Report Builder laptops, and onto the Oracle Forms/Reports Server?
I've moved various 'Garamond' fonts into C:\WINDOWS\FONTS on both the laptops and the server, but neither seem to recognize it.
Thanks for your help.

Thanks.
This answers 1/2 of my question.
The developer can now use Report Builder on his laptop, with the new fonts.
But when he moves this new Report to the Oracle Application Server/Forms-Reports Server, it fails to use the new fonts.
The Oracle App Server/Forms-Report Server is Version 10.1.2.0.2. It runs on MS Windows 2003, SP2.
I have installed the exact same fonts on this server, into C:\WINDOWS\Fonts.
I have used REGEDIT to change REPORTS_PATH....and placed C:\WINDOWS\Fonts; as the first value in this field.
I have then stopped and restarted the Forms-Reports Server.

Oracle Portal, Application Express, Oracle Forms/Reports 10g - which one?

Hi,
I have Oracle 10g database and Application Express installed on one linux box.
second linux box has Oracle HTTP server running from where i call the htmldb pages.
3rd linux box has Oracle Application Server 10.1.2 installed along with SSO, Portal 10.1.4 , Forms Server etc.
Now, i see there are 3 ways i can develop web applications
1. using Application Express and http server which is very basic and simple.
2. using Oracle Forms/Reports 10g and forms/reports server
3. Oracle Portal 10.1.4 in Application Server 10.1.2
Can someone guide me, which one of the above 3 is worth sticking on forever for developing web applications. i am really not sure which one of the above is best for Web developement in terms of long term planning. and i believe all 3 of the above can be integrated with Oracle SSO for authentication.
Can someone guide me please to select one of the above and can you explain me why for my better understanding of the different tools?
Thanks,
Philip.

Hi Philip.
If you already have Oracle Portal, I think that portal is the best solution.
Portal can be integrated with others applications using SSO.
Oracle portal have a lot of features that help you to develop web applications.
If portal does not offer what you want, you can develop your own portlets using java or plsql.
Take a look at the default home page of oracle portal.
Look better the features that portal offer to you.

Installation Guidance (WebLogic 10.3.5 / Oracle Forms,Reports 11.1.1.6)

Goal : I am a designer/developer, have worked on already-installed systems for years, now between contracts and want/need to set up my own installation of Oracle Database 11g R2 database and development tools including Oracle Forms/Reports 11g (also SQL Developer and Application Express, but these come with the DB).
Caveat : have not done an installation of the DB and development tools for years and I know a lot has changed.
System : Windows 7 (64 bit), 6 GB RAM, 600 GB Hard Drive
Here is an overview of the steps as I understand them from the documentation I've been able to find. I know there are lots of details for each step but I want to know if the overall order is right.
1. Install DB (downloaded Oracle 11G Release 2, ready to install Enterprise Edition).
2. Install Repository Creation Utility 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.5.0) to set up the schemas for Fusion Middleware
** QUESTION ** where on earth does one find this? Anyone have a link for it? Or does it come with a larger patchset/installation set?
3. Install Oracle WebLogic Server 11g (10.3.5)
4. Install Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer Release 11g (11.1.1.2.0) but do not configure (advice given in documentation for 11.1.1.6 Patchset)
5. Install and Configure 11.1.1.6 Patchset
Any comments or suggestions welcome. Hope to avoid pitfalls if possible.
Thanks in advance !
Peter

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.
Rgds,
Himansu

Problem about using Oracle Form 6i to connect Oracle Database 10g express.

Sorry to interrupt all of you.
I have encountered a problem about using Oracle Form 6i to connect Oracle Database 10g express.
As I would like to
I use Oracle Net8 Easy Config to create a connection.
According to "tnsnames.ora", the paramater of connection is as follows;
XE =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 127.0.0.1)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = XE))
Unfortunately, when I use Oracle Net8 Easy Config to test the connection, an error message is prompted as follows:
Connecting....
The test did not succeed.
ORA-03106: fatal two-task communication protocol error
There may be an error in the fields entered
or the server may not be ready for a connection.
You can check the server and retry, or continue.
After I google it, I still have no idea how to solve the problem. I would like to ask, could anyone mind providing some hints or solution to address the issues.
Thanks for your assistance in advance.

I don't believe the Net8 Easy Config (NEC) will create a compatible entry in the tnsnames.ora. I have Forms 6i running successfully against a 10g Express database, but I did not use the NEC - I created the entry myself. Here is the entry I use:
XE=
(DESCRIPTION=
    (ADDRESS=
      (PROTOCOL=TCP)
      (HOST=<<servername or IP address>>)
      (PORT=1521)
    (CONNECT_DATA=
      (SERVER=dedicated)
      (SERVICE_NAME=XE)
)Hope this helps,

Need information about Oracle Forms & Reports server installation

Hello Friends,
First of all I am very new user for oracle forums, So please ignore if I posted wrong place.
We are using Oracle Database 10g and Oracle forms & Reports server 6i version.
We just purchased oracle forms & reports (currently known as a Oracle Fusion middleware) license. As per my knowledge latest version doesn't support Oracle 10g database.
My question is can somebody give me Oracle Database 10g supported Forms & Reports version?
We are planning to upgrade.
Help would be really appreciated.
Thanks & Regards.

Thanks a lot for prompt response.
I get my answer from your certification matrix. I appreciate your response.
Now second question arise that We are using currently Database version of 10.2.0.1.0.
And in a certification matrix shows supported version Oracle 10.2.0.4+.
Now I am bit confused that currently working database supports or not?
Still i am trying to install on My window 2008 R2 with IIS 7.0.
Let me check what happens.
Again Thanks a lot to ccortez and PaulM for your quick response and help.

Upgrade Oracle Forms/Reports from 6i to 11g

Hi you Oracle experts,
I'm considering to upgrade my Oracle Forms/Reports application from 6i to 11g.
However, I see dozens of separated server components on the download page in OTN.
Can anyone guide me what server/developer software components should I prepare to install ?
Also, please tell me the service dependency between the server components.
Thank you in advance.

It depends on which Machine you want to install. Its different for a developer and a Server.
For Forms and Reports, you can Weblogic server and install FMV with Forms and Reports builders.
For migration you can go through this link.

Request for Oracle forms & Reports 12c: Free runtime in GlassFish like ADF

a) FREE RUNTIME LICENSE IN GLASSFINS FOR ORACLE FORMS & REPORTS IN GLASSFISH
Hello, we are Oracle Partners and we are using oracle since Oracle 7.3.4.
I remember a beta of Oracle Forms, having the functionality to set properties in all objects, just like Visual Basic, including lines, etc. But that beta was rejected and I see Oracle had leave Oracle Forms as just a database client.
In this moment there is a free light version of ADF.
I will like you think in that possibility.
Think in this, if you want to program a small software, I mean 20,000 U$, and the runtime is 40,000 U$, then this doesn't makes sense.
Oracle is pushing small customers toward Visual Studio,
I think the idea of a free runtime will benefit Oracle in two ways.
For a 20,000 U$ software or less, you but Visual Studio, Sql Server 2012 is enough, not as Oracle, but is enough for that small softwares,
this means if you give a free runtime of oracle forms & reports (like adf is doing)
1) you will win selling development licenses and 2) selling Oracle Standard One licenses.
If you don't do you will lose developement licenses and Oracle will continue losing the small databases market, because this is not like 10 years ago, Sql Server and other databases had improved, and the hardware too .
2) THE DEVELOPMENT OF A LINUX MORE EASY TO INSTALL & AN EASY DESKTOP FOR THAT LINUX
The other point I want to give feedback is linux, it's too related to oracle forms & reports improvements for small business
Is the development of an easier Linux, to use 1) for development 2) for production.
In the same way you don't wait 60 seconds in a normal web page to load, people don't like Linux because is not like Microsoft Windwos or Macintosh; so if Oracle wants to move to people to use linux to use Oracle Forms or Oracle Database, I think Oracle must create a more simple and tested installation for both customers and developers,
- less is more, so the installation must have only what normally is needed.
- you should not need to use command line for most operations, this should be an exception, normal users must do things by themselves.
Thank you for your time

I don't know that it will break things, but I can say that the safest thing to do would be to use separate WLS installations for each product. This may sound like overkill, but each product (ADF, Forms/Reports) have their own idiosyncrasies and requirements with respect to versions and patching, and trying to mix and match them in the same WLS installation is not, in my opinion, something that's worth undertaking.
I have the very setup I describe (separate WLS installations for ADF apps and Forms/Reports apps), and it's working with no problems.
Regards,
John

Oracle forms/reports 6i runtime installation files

I need oracle forms/reports 6i runtime installation files.
Please help me to download runtime installation exe files.
Thanks in advance.

Dear Friend,
It is difficult to deploy all forms/reports as well as run-time executable in one click, but very much possible.
You need to invoke the Developer Suite 6i installation atleast twice (One for Forms and Net files, another for Reports).
However, you could bundle your forms/reports files by placing them within DevSuite6i folder and mentioning their path in the inventory file.
If you want a full silent installation in a single click, Use a third party package compiler and invoke those two installation steps in silent mode
