Does anybody had an experienced to install Oracle form/report 6i developer or where i can find a step by step installation guide for Oracle form/report 6i developer?

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.

John

Where to buy the study guide for Oracle Forms Developer 9i or 10g

Hi, I am learning Oracle Forms Developer Build Internet Application. I am comfortable with SQL and PL SQL. I need authenticate Oracle Study Guide for Forms Developer which will help me in learning basics to advance level but I cannot afford the classroom course, it is beyond my pocket capacity. So I would like to know if Oracle sell only the study guides. I inquired at Book Shops in my area but did not get any help.

I just went through Oracle Press and Sybex websites and it seems none of the books available suits my requirement. Not everyone can afford class room training unless it is fully or partially sponsored by their employers. And I don't understand what people learn in just 5 days.All the information you need to learn the products and pass the certification exams is available in the freely available Oracle documentation. Sure, it's nice to have the Oracle University training or exam prep books which is often specifically focused on the topics on the certification exam, rather than having to combine data from a few different manuals. But there the free Oracle documentation is pretty darned complete and you'll likely learn more from working through that documentation than you would from the Oracle University material just because you've got to do the work to put things together.

Version Management for Oracle forms/Reports/plSQL

We currently use Serena VM (PVCS)
Looking to migrate to an alternate one.
Wondered what people used if htey migrated etc?
SubVersion seems the obvious choice but thought id ask the people in same position as us development wise.
Ideally a web based solution would be best rather than a local, but not seen many of them.

SubVersion seems the obvious choice but thought id ask the people in same position as us development wise.There are other Systems, like GIT: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git_%28software%29
The main difference to subversion is that it is distributed on each development PC. We didn't need this feature as we are hardly developing software outside our company building, so subversion was and still is very suitable for us.
Ideally a web based solution would be best rather than a local, but not seen many of them.What do you mean? Apache is perfectly capable for subversion with mod_dav_svn: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.ref.mod_dav_svn.conf.html
In conjunction with .htaccess authentication this is setup in 10 minutes on a debian/ubuntu server. CollabNet also provides you with a complete bundle: http://www.collab.net/downloads/subversion
If you plan on using windows there is another solution: http://www.visualsvn.com/server/

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

Installation Requirements for Oracle Apps Forms and Report Services OEL

Hi all.
Where can i find detail information about the installation requirements for Oracle Application Server Forms and Report Services under OEL 4 (Oracle Enterprise Linux) or OEL 5?
It seems there's only information about Oracle Application Server in general, not the reduced or partiuclar distribution, Forms and Reports Services.
Thanks in advance ....!

I already saw the documentation for Forms and Reports Services Installation.
This thread is about the specific requirements, if any, for this product on OEL 5 or OEL 4.
See, there's a note on Metalink(546174.1) regarding some specific issues about installing Oracle Application Server on OEL5, but i'm not sure if this involves Oracle Application Server Forms and Reports Services.
The idea is to know if these issues applies to this specific distribution .
Hope you understand my question now. Thanks in advance

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

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

Is there any impact analysis tool for Oracle Forms and Reports

Hi All
We are curretly looking at tools available to do impact analysis in Oracle Forms and Reports. This is for the maintainance of a large Oracle application developed using forms and reports 10g. We use Oracle Designer but only to maintain the db structure and not for forms and reports generation. Our intension is to find out the impact of db model changes, stored procedure changes in Oracle Forms and Reports. Please suggest any tools that are currently used for this purpose.
I remember manually maintaining the CRUD matrix for Oracle Forms and Reports for maintainance purpose. CRUD matrix will have the list of all the tables which are affected by the module. But this is a manual activity and hence the responsibility is with the dev team to keep the document updated. Please suggest if there is any alternative to this way which can be more effecient and less error prone...
I also wonder how these are done in Oracle ERP? how the apps team in oracle is maintaining the forms and reports?
Thnaks in Advance
Mahesh Mathew

Quest (the makers of TOAD) have a tool called SQL Impact which gathers data from forms, reports, triggers, packages etc.
FormsMate is a simple, cheap alternative for comparing or searching in forms.
http://www.jockvale.ca/products.html
Alternatively, you can export forms to xml (with iff2xml90.bat) and reports to jsp (with rwconverter) and simply grep those and your sql scripts. There are grep tools for windows if you need.

IDE Support for Oracles Forms and Reports

Hi All,
I am beginning a software integration project and would really appreciate it if you could give me some guidance. I wish to find an IDE that will support Oracle Forms & Reports (6i and 9i/10g) development (in particular support for coding of .rdf and .fmb files) either natively or via a plug-in. Is anyone aware of such an IDE or plug-in? Thanks in advance.
-S

Thanks for your input Jacob, that answered my question. I was wanting to know if there was any IDE that could be used to develop fmb's or rdf's, either natively or with a plug-in. From your response, I now know there are not.

Problem of Installation of Oracle Forms & Reports Release 6i in Win XP Pro

I can install Oracle Forms and Reports Release 6i in a P4 WinXP machine by using different Oracle Home. But the Net8 Easy Config cannot be run. This can be solved by editing the file TNSNAMES.ORA manually to configurate the connection. After that, the forms is workable but when I print the report, the report background engine show the error for printing.
I am still asking for whether any patch files or update can be downloaded to fix the installation problem of Oracle Forms and Report 6i in WinXP Pro.

I don't have the 651, but the 865. The 865 came with a Mega disc and required installing the Intel drivers from the disc. Since the 865 is driven primarly by USB, windows would attempt to assign a driver to motherboard and devices, but would inevitably be wrong. Only by installing the Intel drivers were things found properly.
Is there any chance there are such drivers with the 651 as well?
