How to debug oracle forms 4.5 application

Ww have an application which is behaving badly. We have no documentation on it ,nor any source code. It seems to be written in Oracle forms 4.5 ( of which I know little) . There is an applications directory with about 100 files ,all with ending .fmx . these look like forms config files. I really want to find out what queries this app is sending and what it is receiving. Is there any way to decompile this application to get the source ?
Thanks

The FMX files are the compiled forms code, the executables. Without their FMB files you have no chance of getting at the Forms source.
You could try to find out what queries they are issuing by finding the sessions (V$SESSION.PROGRAM should allow you to identify the sessions that connect through Forms) and thus the queries (through Userid to V$SQLAREA).
However, without the source code there's not much you can actually do about it.
Cheers, APC

You have the command in VB 6.0 to run any exe files right (I think it is the system command). Next to that command place the following code to run your forms application
ifrun60.EXE <forms.fmx with complete path> userid=<username>/<password>@<connection string>.

How to debug a form module (Oracle 11G Forms) through URL

How to debug a form module (Oracle 11G Forms) through URL.
My server OS is Unix. So i could not able to do the Debug Forms from the Form Developer.
It is displaying a message that "Cannot find the module". Becuase the system is trying find out the module in Unix system instead of ma local system(Windows).
I need to debug ma module through URL.
I can place the fmb and fmx in predefined form path in Server.
Please help me out to solve this issue..

This is a little unclear. If your goal is to use the Forms Builder Debugger while running your form on a Unix machine, this can be done. However, the form must first be in running order. So before trying to attach the debugger you must first be able to start it without the debugger. For example:
http://yourServer:OHS_port_number/forms/frmservlet?form=yourFMX
Once this is properly running you can turn on debugging. If your form won't even start, then using the Debugger isn't going to help you because it is designed to troubleshoot coding problems and not configuration problems.
So, do this to use the Debugger:
http://yourServer:OHS_port_number/forms/frmservlet?form=yourFMX&debug=yes
This will display a dialog box with some information. Do not click on OK yet as you will need this information to enter into the Forms Builder. Now, open the Forms Builder and click on Debug > Attach Debug. You will be asked for the information displayed in the dialog where you attempted to start the form. Enter it here (in the Builder) then click on ok in both places. To display the Debugger (in the Builder), click on Debug > Debug Console. Then from its toolbar click on the buttons related to what you want to monitor. Including a break point in your application code is often a more helpful way to use the debugger.
Most of this information is explained in the Forms Builder Online Help
Forgot to mention...
To debug runtime issues, refer to the Forms Deployment Guide here (this assumes you are using 11.1.2):

There is no automatic way to do this in JDeveloper. I know there are some Oracle Partners offering forms to java conversion, I don't know how much of their tools are automated and done with JDeveloper. With JDeveloper+ADF you basically rewriting the Forms application from scratch (and using ADF is helpful during this process).

how to run oracle forms in ipad or smart mobile using OS( android )and connect to application server 10g?????

If you had looked at data dashboard and some of the other links on Android, you would see that you cannot run a LabVIEW app on Android. Nor can you use a serial port. With Data Dashboard, you have a pc running LabVIEW and it publishes to network shared variables. Data Dashboard on the Android allows you to view those variables.

How compatible is Oracle forms with OCX / ActiveX components

How compatible is Oracle forms 6.0 with OCX / ActiveX components?
IFve got to very nice activeX controls (ctSchedule and ctMday)

within Forms. They work great within VBA (word).
Sometimes they donFt display things well or donFt react to the
mouse in the properly manner.
What can be wrong os is Oracle forms not 100% activeX compatible.

Hi b w,
I do not know much about Simply Accounting, however, if the Crystal Reports can be integrated with this software, then their tech support would be the best one to answer the issue with limited access to reports.
Secondly, if you can get an ODBC driver for your Simply Accounting, you might be able to create reports in Crystal reports (Again with no guarantee as Simply Accounting does not fall in the supported platforms for Crystal Reports).
I would suggest you to contact the tech support of Simply Accounting to know if there is any specific version of Crystal reports that works best with your software.
It is simple to create highly professional reports with Crystal reports and you can either refer to the help included with the software or can log on to SAP support site and download the Crystal Reports user's guide to get step by step instructions on creating reports.
Please do let us know if you have any further questions.

Abhishek Jain.

How to install oracle Forms and Report 10g in windows XP OS

How to install oracle Forms and Report 10g in windows XP OS. Already installed oracle Database 10g in my notebook.
It is working good.
please help me this issue.
please give the steps..............
Thanks
Rajeev

Hello Frank,
for development, you need to install Oracle Developer
Suite 10g. This includes Forms and Reports.this topic interests me too, because I've downloaded Developer Suite and Database (both for 10g) from Oracle website, installed them, but I couldn't connect to a database.
What should be done for me to create a database link and be able to connect locally, in my personal Desktop computer? (Not to a server)
Once it was told me here that I should download 10g Database - I did it, and installed it, but it didn't work. Later, some of my job partners said I should install them in a sequence - that is, 1st the Developer, and 2nd the Database. But it has failed too. And I don't know how to configure a database connection.
Best regards,

Actually I am looking for some basic tutorial of Forms developer. I never use that before. I haven't found which tools/package I can use to create forms. where is OC4J located?
what can OTN help on the preparing of IZ0- 141 exam? I found a course on Oracle website for that, But its price is $4,000 CDN, which I can't afford. I really want a book related to the course.
Thanks,
