  • How to use LDAP with Oracle forms 10g on Oracle application server

    Hi,
    I need some help on this. I have developed oracle forms 10g on application server 9iAS. The client want to use the existing LDAP authentication to the software we wrote. I do not know how I could configure to use the existing LDAP authentication . If anyone know how would I use the existing LDAP on different server to use when they logon to our menu in 10g to validate the user. Do I need to add any varibales in formweb.cfg or any other method. Please help.
    Thanks
    Luksh

    I am not quite sure if this works out of the box. According to an Oracle FAQ:
    4.2 Can I use LDAP to authenticate Forms Services?
    Not directly. However, Oracle Login Server is able to authenticate against a LDAP directory and thus a Forms application can take advantage of this in a SSO environment. But you cannot use access control information stored in a LDAP directory with Forms.

  • 9i application server and oracle 7.3.3.5

    we are planning to deploy 9i application server and have an origin database(8.1.6). however we have an old database(7.3.3.5) running on IBm mainframe and I am wondering wilkl it be possible to access that database using 9i application server. if yes, pls. help.
    Thanks---

    We have developed several form apps using the products in
    question. We have experianced minor GUI problems but many of
    these had patches. You can check by going to: ftp://oracle-
    ftp.oracle.com/dev_tools/patchsets/dev2k/Win95NT/2.1/
    I never experianced the scroll-bar problem the first response
    talks about, not saying it isn't possible. Possibly a different
    database platform.
    All in all we have had good luck with the applications, little
    bit of a setup learning curve, but once we were up and running
    we produced some very effective web applications.

  • What is diff between oracle application server and weblogic server?

    what is the exact difference between oracle application server and weblogic application server?

    The difference between Oracle Application Server AND WebLogic Server has been discussed in a lot of forums dated 2008 and earlier comparing OAS10g with WebLogic10.0/WebLogic9.2
    But, now since Oracle has taken over WebLogic, this is not really important.
    Now, OAS has no further releases post 10g. WebLogic Server will be the Oracle's strategic application server going forward.
    So, if your query is for choosing one of them for a new environment, you are better of with WebLogic Server 10.3.6 OR WebLogic Server 12g
    As we will not have further releases of OAS and also OAS10g will be end of life soon, we recommend Oracle WebLogic Server.
    If you still want to know the differences, here is one such old oracle documentation link that talks about it
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B10467_16/migrate.904/b10425/asmwl02.htm

  • Oracle Forms 10G and Java 7 ?

    So, as of 13 February 2013 (https://blogs.oracle.com/java/entry/end_of_public_updates_for) there will be no more updates for Java 6. So does that mean that Oracle Forms 10g (which as far as I know only supports Java 6) applications will have to upgraded to Forms 11g to keep up with the Java updates? So if you are running Forms 10g on OAS (Oracle Application Server) does that mean also an upgrade from OAS to Weblogic?

    Looks like there may be an update to fix this issue:
    Patch 14825718
    Description      ORACLE FORMS BUNDLE PATCH 10.1.2.3.2
    Product      Developer Forms
    Release      iAS 10.1.2.3
    Last Updated      07-JAN-2013
    From the README for 14825718
    # 11782681 - APPS6 FORMS DO NOT LAUNCH WITH BETA JRE 1.7I found the above information starting here:
    Re: Java 1.6 and 1.7 on same computer, which references this: FRM-92095: Oracle Jnitiator version too low
    Here's a workaround which is supposed to work without installing the patch, but I haven't had time to try it:
    The "Frm-92095" link above also mentions the -Djava.vendor fix but doesn't show the following steps.
    After installing Java 7, open file manager and go to the directory below, double-click on this file:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin\javacpl.exeThis opens a "Java Control Panel" window.
    Click the Java tab, then the View... button.
    This should open a Java Runtime Environment Settings window with two tabs: User and System.
    On each tab, under Runtime Parameters, enter:
    -Djava.vendor="Sun Microsystems Inc."The place I saw these instructions claim it works in IE9, Firefox 18.0.2, and Chrome 24.0.1312.57
    I have not had time to try yet.

  • Doubt with Windows and Oracle Forms 10G and 11g

    Hi
    I have some doubts in installing Oracle Client on Windows.
    a)Can we install Oracle Forms 10g and Reports 10g client on Windows 7?
    b)Can we install Oracle Forms 11g and Reports 11g client on Windows XP?
    c)If we have an Oracle Forms 11g and Reports 11g, can it connect to a 10g Server?
    d)If we have an Oracle Forms 10g and Reports 10g Client, can it connect to an 11g Server?
    Please, Can any one help me in this????

    a)yes it can be installed on win7, may have some issues on 64bit systems but they're solvable
    b)11g had some problems with windows 2000, but didn't see mention of any problems on XP
    c)if you mean a database server then yes - i managed to connect 11g to an 8i database, so v10 should not be a problem. If you mean a forms/reports server..well newer forms/reports builder might not want to run old forms/reports and vice versa, but I don't see the point of operating on the same files from different versions. You can still load old form/report source files with a newer builder and recompile them to run on the new server.
    d) the "client" is effectively your web browser with a java plugin, unless I misunderstood your question. What version was a form/report compiled with should not be an issue.

  • Oracle reports 6i to Oracle forms 10g migration

    Hi,
    I have .rdf files which were created on Oracle Reports 6i. I would like to migrate the .rdf files into Oracle Reports module which is present as a part of Oracle Forms 10g to generate PDF output.
    Please let me know the detailed steps to be followed as I am a total newbie. Also I need to generate these reports on demand from a java 5 application (JSF 2.0).
    Currently for ORacle reports 6i, I have the following code in my java application
    rwrun60.exe g:\tomcat33\webapps\reports\web-inf\src\null userid=***/*** destype=FILE desformat="pdf" paramform=NO printjob=NO batch=YES desname=temp.pdf
    1. What would be the equivalent for reports in ORacle Forms 10g ? I know there is an Oracle Apps server where ther report services reside. How to I invoke my report from my java application (residing on a weblogic server 10.3.6)?
    2. What ould I do with the 6i .rdf files to upgrade them to 10g ?

    I am trying to call an Oracle report i.e .rdf (which is located on the Oracle  App Server) from my java EE 5 (JSF) application. The Oracle  App server is Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2. I assume Oracle report generation capability is available in this release.  I need to invoke the report from my Java JSF application on demand (whenever the user clicks a button on the web browser page, the report should appear on the browser as PDF) . My java application resides on Linux weblogic server.
    Please let me know how it can be done ? I see rwclient.sh and another method to directly invoke using a URL. How do I do it on java, would a request.redirect() to the URL work ?
    Also for hiding the params in the URL. keys need to be configured on the Oracle server right ?
    Also if we use rwclient.sh or the URL based invocation, would there be any issue in concurrency when multiple users request the same report at the same time ?

  • Installation of Oracle AS 10g on Red Hat ES 3.0

    Installation of Oracle AS 10g on RedHat ES 3.0 (All issues are cleared and u will b done with no error like Java Configuration Failed and make files errors)
    Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 Custom Installation
    Copy from OTN Note
    Start
    Oracle 10g is certified to run the base release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 (Advanced Server and Enterprise Server) without updates. If you have update CDs, you can use the boot CD from the update instead of the boot CD from the base release to automatically apply all updates during the installation. All updates from Red Hat are supported by Oracle.
    1.     Boot the server using the first CD.
    o     You may need to change your BIOS settings to allow booting from the CD.
    2.     The boot screen appears with the boot: prompt at the bottom of the screen.
    o     Select Enter to continue with a graphical install on the console. (For other installation methods and options, refer to the Red Hat Installation Guide.)
    o     The installer scans your hardware, briefly displays the Red Hat splash screen, and then begins a series of screen prompts.
    3.     Language Selection
    o     Accept the default.
    4.     Keyboard Configuration
    o     Accept the default.
    5.     Welcome Screen
    o     Click on Next.
    6.     Mouse Configuration
    o     Accept the default.
    7.     Installation Type
    o     Select Custom.
    8.     Disk Partitioning Setup
    o     A thorough treatment of disk partitioning is beyond the scope of this article, which assumes that you are familiar with disk partitioning methods.
    (WARNING: Improperly partitioning a disk is one of the surest and fastest ways to wipe out everything on your hard disk. If you are unsure how to proceed, stop and get help, or you will risk losing data!)
    This article uses the following partitioning scheme, with ext3 for each filesystem:
    The 9GB disk on the first controller (/dev/sda) will hold all Linux and Oracle software and contains the following partitions:
    - 100MB /boot partition
    -1,500MB swap partition—Set this to at least twice the amount of RAM in the system but to no more than 2GB (32-bit systems do not support swap files larger than 2GB). If you need more than 2GB of swap space, create multiple swap partitions.
    -7,150MB root partition— This partition will be used for everything, including /usr, /tmp, /var, /opt, /home, and more. This was done purely to simplify installation for the purposes of this guide. A more robust partitioning scheme would separate these directories onto separate filesystems.
    9.     Boot Loader Configuration
    o     Accept the default.
    10.     Network Configuration
    o     It is usually best to configure database servers with a static IP address. To do so, click on Edit.
    o     A pop-up window appears. Uncheck the Configure using DHCP box, and enter the IP Address and Netmask for the server. Be sure that Activate on boot is checked, and click on OK.
    o     In the Hostname box, select manually and enter the hostname.
    o     In the Miscellaneous Settings box, enter the remaining network settings.
    11.     Firewall Configuration
    o     For the purposes of this walk-through, no firewall is configured. Select No firewall.
    12.     Additional Language Support
    o     Accept the default.
    13.     Time Zone Selection
    o     Choose the time settings that are appropriate for your area. Setting the system clock to UTC is usually a good practice for servers. To do so, click on System clock uses UTC.
    14.     Set Root Password
    o     Enter a password for root, and enter it again to confirm.

    Start installation from CD 1 .
    . ./runInstaller
    Press Y               (There is no need to disturb, upgrade, degrade any package)
    Press Y
    Installation will start while installing and reaches at ~50% then go to /oracle/appsrv/infra/bin open relink file and change at line # 50 i.e. remove 2 brackets
    ] –o [  and at line # 102 make= /usr/ccs/bin/make to /usr/bin/make remove ccs and save the file
    There will no error in installation in infrastructure
    Same as done with relink file in Middle tier installation. I would like to turn ur attention for a serious problem no one asked about it. Here u have seen that a script make 3 file in /usr/local/bin for infrastructure and middle tier when u finished infrastructure’s installation plz rename that 3 files as
    Mv coredb coredb-infra
    Mv dbhome dbhome-infra
    Mv ora     â€¦     ora…-infra
    If u overwrite that files by creating same name of middle tier files no problem.
    When problem comes?
    AS will work fine but when u have to install patches on AS then problem comes if u have overwrite that files. So plz rename them before creation of same files of middle tier. Thanx

  • Converting Unicode to UTF-8 character set through Oracle forms(10g)

    Hi,
    I am working on oracle forms (10g) where i need to load files containing unicode character set (multilingual characters) to database.
    but while loading the file , junk characters are getting inserted into the database tables.
    while reading the file through forms , i am using utl_file.fopen_nchar,utl_file.get_line_nchar functions to read the unicode characters ...
    the application server , and database server characterset are set to american utf8 characteset.
    In fact , when i change the text file characterset to utf8 through an editor(notepad ++,etc) , in that case , data is getting inserted into database properly,(at least working for english characters) , but not with unicode ...
    Any guidance in this regard are highly appreciated
    Thank you in advance

  • Forms 4.5 Migration to Oracle Forms 10g

    Hi All,
    I want to know abt migration steps i.e. i 'm doing migration of Oracle Forms 4.5 to Oracle Forms 10g. Then existing forms is on Windows NT based environment and the database is Oracle 8.
    What is the better way to approach this issue? Whether, directly open the existing Forms into Oracle Forms 10g or first open the form into Forms 6i and then after 10g?
    Tell me the System Specification.... Database version.... Which Application Server is suitable.... And whether the Oracle 9i database possible for Forms 10g or not.
    Pls Give me solution.
    Thanks

    What is the better way to approach this issue?
    Whether, directly open the existing Forms into Oracle
    Forms 10g or first open the form into Forms 6i and
    then after 10g?As Grant said:
    4.5 to 10g (strictly speaking is not supported) but should work ok - Generally speaking you just open your Forms in the 10g builder and compile. You should check out otn.oracle.com/formsupgrade which gives you some good pointers including the Forms built-in procedures that have be desupported and removed from the product.
    4.5 -> 6i -> 10g was the supported route (but even 6i is desupported now).
    >
    Tell me the System Specification.... Database
    version.... Which Application Server is suitable....
    And whether the Oracle 9i database possible for Forms
    10g or not.OAS 10gR2, DB 9i is good.

  • Calling BO XI Release 2 from Oracle Forms 10g

    Post Author: alexre

    Hello everybody,
    We are going to migrate the Oracle Database and the Oracle forms application to 10g to one of our clients but he wants continue using the BO so he is going to migrate BO v 4.1.6 to XI Release 2.
    Because I am not a BO specialist I would like to know
    Is it possible to publish the BO report on the WEB?
    Can I call the report directly from Oracle Forms 10g (WEB) and pass the parameters?
    Can you advice any documents related to this topic?
    Thank you in advance for your help.

    Alex,
    Your first question leads to a "it depends" answer.  If you want to publish static content, then the report can be ran and saved as PDF, then that PDF can be made available as a link in another web server. If you want to publish dynamic content, then "no", but read on because you'll see in answer to #2 and #3 it becomes "yes".
    Your second question about calling the report directly from Oracle Forms and pass the parameters is a resounding yes!  However, you will need to have an enduring knowledge of a concept called "opendocument" within the Business Intelligence tool as well as an authentication strategy to make it all work.
    Here is the answer to your third question, please following this link:  http://support.businessobjects.com/communityCS/TechnicalPapers/be_xi_r2_opendocument.pdf.asp
    Good luck!

  • Last release of Application Server that supports Forms

    Hello Everybody,
    I heard that Oracle plans to give up Forms. Could someone tell me what is the last release of Application Server that supports Forms?
    Or where could I read more on the issue?
    Thank you in advance.

    you see, questions like this were very emotional discussed.
    The first time I hear "forms is dead", when Oracle went from charactermode forms 3 to forms 4.0.
    Each big new release and "forms was dead"
    I bet, that I'll hear this the next 10 or 20 years! And then (maybe) java-developer are so productive developing their applications like forms-developer do it today.

  • Oracle Forms 10g class

    Hello all,
    I took the Oracle Forms 10g from Oracle. But I learn little about how to configure the forms such as create resource file, modify config files on the server.
    I would like to learn more about these configuration and how these work.
    What classes I need to take? I saw the class oracle forms 10g move to the web?
    Is it a good class to take? Do I need to take jdeveloper?
    Thank you
    Jenny

    Jenny,
    the class explains how to configure Forms applications to run on the web. In here you learn how to use the configuration files and what they are for. Note that most web configurations can be done with Enterprise Manager in Forms 10.1.2
    You don't need JDeveloper for this

    We have released the Oracle Forms 10g demos which are now available on OTN.

    Oracle Forms is quit impressive as both a client/server and web-based solution. I have yet to see an application run over the web the way Oracle Forms does. It appears as a client/server application, except it's completely web-based.
    That's quite amazing, however, I have found that the rich interface and the sophistication of running Forms over the web comes with a big cost. The 8MB Jinitiator download turns a lot of people off.
    What I'm really wondering is if there is anyone out there who is using Oracle Forms as a web solution ?
    Thanks for your time.
    Best Regards,
