How to use Forms 5 and DevSuite 10g in the same machine

Hello everybody,
I have installed forms 5 and IDS 10g in one machine and both the versions of the forms were working simultaneously. Now I have un-installed both the versions of the forms and re-installed in the same machine. Installation was successful. but I am not able to connect to the database in forms 5. It shows TNS could not resolve service name. TNS is created in both the versions with same name as well as different name. The IDS is working fine. Please help.
Thanks and regards

Sukanto,
What error are you getting? One potential problem you will have with more than one version of Oracle Dev Suite installed is keeping the TNSNAMES.ORA synchronized. I've found the easiest solution to this problem is to add the TNS_ADMIN registry key to each Oracle Home so I can share a single copy of the TNSNAMES.ORA file. You can add this entry by starting the Window Registry editor (regedt32.exe or regedit.exe) and navigate to the following registry hive:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE => SOFTWARE => ORACLE => HOME? (where ? represents the number of the Oracle Home, eg., 0-9).
In your example, Forms 5 should be in HOME0 and IDS 10g should be in HOME1. Open each home and add a new "String Value" and name it: TNS_ADMIN. After you have added the new String Value entry, edit the String Value and enter the path to the copy of your TNSNAMES.ORA that is working. Then do the same thing with HOME1 and exit the Registry. You should be able to connect to your database with Forms 5 and IDS 10g. Normally, changes to the registry do not require you to reboot your computer, but I have seen where this is necessary - though not very often.
Note: Always ensure you have a BACKUP of the Windows Registry before you make any changes. If you uncomfortable modifying the Windows Regisitry, then I don't recommend you make this change.
Hope this helps.

  • Forms 6i and developer 10g on the same machine

    Can i have forms 6i and developer 10g on the same machine

    Jacob,
    Were you installing any patches to the Forms 6i?? I think your problem was a mix up in the environmental variables.
    multiple versions of the same Oracle product CAN* be installed successfully on the same machine, it has been done by many.
    Do not generalize one experience, since you are working on VMware, try them on one, it's easy to revert to a snapshot ;)
    Install Forms 6i first patch it configure it and restart your machine and install DS 10g, On this machine I have Forms 6i and DS 10g installed at this same moment, and it's been working fine for that last 2 years.

  • [SOLVED] How to use timidity++ and other programs at the same time?

    I have installed timidity following arch wiki instructions - I have soundfont, and I start it in /etc/rc.conf
    It works properly with tuxguitar (and tuxguitar-alsa) or kmid, but I cannot play MIDI and - for example - oggs in amarok at the same time.
    I suspect that the problem is that timidity doesn't use dmix alsa plugin I have made in my ~/.asoundrc.
    The question is: how to tell timidity to use my dmix plugin?

  • Win 8 - How to use StereoMix and Headphones Mic at the same time?

    I am using Windows 8 64 bit and believe I may have an IDT driver problem.
    I need to enable StereoMix and my Headphones Mic at the same time. I know this was previously possible with windows xp and windows 7.
    What happens is If I enable either Headphones Mic (Logitech headphones with Mic) or StereoMix the other one becomes " current;ly unavailable"  I cannot get them both to work together. I can get StereoMix and the Internal Mic to work together ( both enabled at the same time) but the sound quality is bad because the internal mic picks up noises from the PC. I need to have both my headphones mic and stereo mix enabled at the same time.
    The driver I'm using is the one provided by HP with the laptop. It is called sp59620.exe
    Would another IDT driver solve the problem? Can you think of another reason this is not working?
    Here are my specs.
    System Manufacturer/Model Number HP Pavillion G7-2251dx
    OS Windows 8 64 bit
    CPU AMD A-8 4500M
    Memory 8 Gigabytes DDR3 sdram
    Graphics Card Discrete ATI Radeon HD 7640G with 2 Gigs
    Sound Card IDT Audio
    Monitor(s) Displays 17.3
    Screen Resolution 1600x900
    If you cannot help, where else should I look? i have tried Windows and Microsoft forums and no one can give me an answer.
    Thank you.

    I have tried the instructions in that video and I cant get passed the very bad feedback i get when telling my recording device to Listen.  His secone instruction from his notes here
    ["Right Click the Realtech HD audio device and set as default if its not already.
    (note you may want to turn off any powered speakers you may have to prevent feedback.)
    -Select the Recording Tab at the top of the window.
    -Select the Stereo Mix device and set it to default if its not already.
    -Right click and select Properties.
    -Select the Listen Tab at the top of the window.
    -Change the drop-down box to the entry for USB headset and check the Listen to this device checkbox.
    -click ok to dismiss the window.
    -Right click on the USB headset microphone device and select properties.
    -Select the Listen Tab at the top of the window.
    -Change the drop-down box to the entry for the Realtech HD Audio device and check the Listen to this device checkbox.
    -click ok to dismiss the window.
    So, essentially, the game audio will play through the Realtec, your mic is also set to play to the Realtec. both audio streams are now part of Stereo Mix. Stereo Mix is being listened to by your headset allowing you to hear the game and your voice.]
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Don't know about turning off any powered speakers.. the only speakers I have besides the headphones are the internal laptop speakers.  I get the same feedback if i have the headphones plugged in or not.

  • Designer 6i and 10g on the same machine?

    I have Designer 6i and corresponding repository on my machine.
    The problem with 6i I can't save diagramm in HTML format
    I believe I can save in HTML format in 10g or other?
    Can I install on the same machine 10g designer?
    should I configure new repository?
    TIA

    See my update on your earlier question.
    As for running 6i and 10g on the same machine, yes you can do it. You just have to install them in separate Oracle Homes, and be careful when you tell them which version of EXP and IMP to use. There is one MAJOR caveat, however. They cannot use the same Designer Repository - 6i client won't talk to a 10g repository and 10g client won't talk to a 6i repository. You can upgrade a 6i repository to 10g with the RAU, but take a backup before you do - the only way to go back is to restore your backup. Besides, I think that if you upgrade to the last supported version of Designer 6i (you should be able to get it from MetaLink) you will get the Publish Diagrams utility.
    Frankly, my opinion is that there is only one reason to stay on 6i - if you need to generate and support 6i client/server Oracle Forms. If you don't use Oracle Forms, or if you have moved on to Web Forms with the middle tier Forms Server, I'd recommend an upgrade to Designer 10g and Developer 10g.

  • Using join and batch reading in the same query

    Hi,
    I wonder if it is possible to use "Joining" and "batch reading" in the same query.
    For example I Have
    A -> 1-1 B
    A -> 1-1 B
    B -> 1-M C
    This is the case where I have two separate 1-1 relationships to the same class B from A. Toplink 10.0.3 can manage it nicely through joining.
    Now, I would like to read a set of As (with its 2 Bs) and all Cs for each B.
    It seems that the following configuration does not work:
    A -> 1-1 B (use joining)
    A -> 1-1 B (use joining)
    B -> 1-M C (Batch read)
    Any help would be greatly appreciated
    Tony.

    James,
    Would you be so kind to look at the following code?
    Am I formulating it correctly to achieve my desired behavior?
    Trip.class -> 1-1 PickupStop
    Trip.class -> 1-1 DropoffStop
    PickupStop and DropoffStop extend Stop and use same table (STOP)
    Stop -> 1-M StopEvents
    I would like to fetch all Trips, with their Stops and all StopEvents in 2 queries:
    1. Trip joined with Stop
    2. Batchread StopEvents
    Code:
    ReadAllQuery raq = new ReadAllQuery(Trip.class);
    Expression qexp1 = new ExpressionBuilder();
    Expression qexp2 = new ExpressionBuilder();
    raq.addJoinedAttribute("pickupStop");
    raq.addJoinedAttribute("dropoffStop");
    raq.addBatchReadAttribute(qexp1.get("pickupStop").get("vStopEvents"));
    raq.addBatchReadAttribute(qexp2.get("dropoffStop").get("vStopEvents"));

  • Running Forms and Oracle 9i on the same PC

    Some time ago I installed Oracle 8 and Forms and Reports 6i on the same PC (Windows 2000). I did specify a different ORA home for the Forms product to the database product. I believe this means that your registry is set to access one, probably your database, and not the other. My instructor on the Forms course I had attended, said the old 2.5 version of Forms and personal editions of Oracle would work together on the same PC, but Oracle have prevented this being possible in later releases, by having this ORA home issue. I failed to find a work round and no-one replied to my quey on the issue.
    Do the latest dowloads, Oracle 9i, etc. allow you to run both the database and Forms on the same PC and if so are there any tips for me in installing them so it will actually work?
    Many thanks,
    Susan

    Hi there,
    installing 6i for 8i on the same box is not a problem. I find it better, on a personal pc to have them in different homes.
    - create a folder called 'Oracle6i'
    - when prompted for the install home - point to this new directory
    once the installation is complete you will need to copy the tnsnames.ora file from the oracle database home and paste it into the corresponding directory of the oracle6i installation.

  • How to burn DVD and can i burn the same DVD later if its having any space..

    How to burn DVD and can i burn the same DVD later if its having any space..?

    This is called sessions, but it is not recommended and has been largely abandoned by software developers. This was a good thing in the late 1990’s, when opticals discs were quite expensive, and file size quite low.
    applications which reportedly may do this are
    - isoBurn: http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/40109/isoburn
    - others, I do not remember which ones, try SimpyBurns, Burn, Dragon Burn and LiquidCD, you will find all in macupdate.com, test which ones suit you.
    Otherwise, I do not recommend you such time consuming and inefficient solutions, optical drives are being replaces by more capacitive, cheaper and more practical solutions, like external disks. But, if you insist, you will find what you are looking for.

  • Can I Use HDMI and Thunderbolt Outputs At The Same Time? And Mac App Store Issues

    I have a Mid-2011 Mac Mini. I am currently using the HDMI output with an HDMI to Digital Input for a dell monitor. If I wanted to have a second monitor, can I use the Thunderbolt output with a MiniDisplayport to VGA adapter? I know it may sound a little unclear, so if you need a clarification, pelase let me know.
    Also, on the same macine, I am having trouble connecting to the Mac App Store. My internet connection is working, and I've tried going into the Keychain Access and there isn't anything with a blue plus. When I go to Store --> Sign In , the sign in widnow doesn't appear.
    Thanks
    Joey

    Yes, that is exactly how to use dual monitors.
    Optionally:
    if the second monitor has DVI input, use the MiniDisplay Port to DVI adapter.
    or if it has Display Port input, then all you need is a straight MiniDisplay Port to Display Port cable.
    In Quick Links try Account if Sign In does not work.

    To remove file from iPhoto and the HD simply put the files in the iPhoto trash and then go iPhoto Menu -> Empty trash.
    This works if you're using iPhoto in the default setting, where the files are copied to the Library on import. If, however, you have a referenced library, you'll need to trash the files in your own folder structure yourself.

  • How to import nef and psd versions of the same file ?

    Hi, I am new to this so please forgive any daftness. I am trying to import from a folder with nef and psd versions of the same file. Lightroom does not seem to recognise the nef if a psd exists. In fact if I specifically try to import the nef later, I get the message that says lightroom will not import the file because it already exists. The import is set to keep the originals in the existing location and the database is new. This is the first import I have done and noticed that the file count did not match.
    I need to do this because I need to create alternative psd files from the same raw file but I do not see how.
    The psd were created via the bridge to photoshop route.
    Please what am I doing wrong ?
    Many thanks

    Hi thanks for the quick reply. For a "database" application that seems a bit scary. Also I have found that it will import psd and tif and jpg versions of the same file which makes it even odder.
    Do you know if there is a way to tell it to favour nef rather than psd ?
    thanks,

  • How do I share files between users on the same machine?

    I tried using /Users/shared to share files between myself (Admin user) and another user on the machine (Standard user). Whenever I put a file or a folder into said directory permissions are 755 for directories and 644 for files, my umask is 0022. The files and directories belong to my user and the group staff. This means I can read and write and others can read. If I do the same using the other users account. Permissions are 700 and 600 respectively. (Owner is the other user and group is staff.) Strangely the other users umask is 0022, too.
    The result is, that all directories and files I create with my account (Admin user) are readable to every other user on the machine, whereas all directories and files the other user (Standard user) creates are not readable for anyone else. I can easily rectify this using the Terminal and chmod and/or chown, but it is a pain having to do this, since I also need to forcefully restart the Finder App for it to notice the changed permissions.
    Ideally I'd like all directories in /Users/Shared to have permissions 777 and all files 666 no matter which user created, copied or moved them to said location. I think this could possibly be done using applescript and shellscripting and the folder action hook. So far my attempts to find such a script on the net or/and write it myself have failed. I'd be grateful for any hints how I:
    a) write and setup such a script
    b) accomplish what I try to do (share files and folders on the same machine) in another possibly more Mac way
    Kind regards
    David

    The following AppleScript will recursively descend the directory tree and change the items to your modes:

    background-color: #FFDDFF;
    overflow: auto;"
    title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
    on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving these_items
    repeat with some_item in these_items
    ProcessStuff from some_item
    end repeat
    end adding folder items to
    to ProcessStuff from SomeItem
    processes items contained in SomeItem, recursively descending the directory tree
    parameters - SomeItem [mixed]: an item containing the items to process
    returns nothing
    set SomeItem to SomeItem as text
    set FileInfo to (info for SomeItem as alias)
    if (folder of FileInfo) and not (package folder of FileInfo) then -- a folder (not a package)
    do shell script "chmod 666 " & quoted form of POSIX path of SomeItem
    -- do shell script "chown root:staff " & quoted form of POSIX path of SomeItem user name "me" password "mypassword" with administrator privileges
    try -- to get items in the folder
    tell application "Finder" to set SubFolder to (items of folder SomeItem)
    on error
    return {}
    end try
    repeat with SubItem in SubFolder -- process the sub items
    ProcessStuff from SubItem
    end repeat
    else -- a file
    do shell script "chmod 777 " & quoted form of POSIX path of SomeItem
    -- do shell script "chown root:staff " & quoted form of POSIX path of SomeItem user name "me" password "mypassword" with administrator privileges
    end if
    return
    end ProcessStuff
    </pre>
    You shouldn't need to change the ownership, so I commented out the chown shell script since this would need to be run as a super user. You can run a shell script with administrator privileges, but in order to be used by a standard user you will need to provide the appropriate user name and password in the script, which might not be a good idea - note that the folder action script will need to be attached in all accounts that you want to change the permissions, which means that it would need to be accessible to those accounts.
