Installing Forms 6i with 8i

I have installed Oracle 8i on my computer and it works great. Including the sample database. I would also like to install Forms 6i on my computer but whe I try it, I can't get it to connect to the sample database. In fact, after 6i is installed, if I click on the SQL plus icon for 8i I get a message saying it can't be found. Nothing I try seems to work. Does anyone know the proper way to install Forms 6i and get it to connect to the 8i sample database? Thank you for any help you can give.

I have successfully installed Oracle Server 8i and Forms 6i and Reports 6i on my PC running on Windows 2000. I have done the same on another PC running on Windows 98.
On a PC with Windows 2000 or NT, you must install the Forms 6i first. (For a PC with Windows 98, install Oracle 8i first, then the Forms). Make sure your registry does not have records of prior installations of Oracle. If the Oracle database is mounted and started, you cannot delete Oracle related entries in the registry. You must stop Oracle database first, then clean your registry.
After installing the Forms and/or Reports, install Oracle Server 8i in a different HOME and directory.
You will be guided accordingly during the installation.
Then follow Joseph Schwertner's advice on how to edit your tnsnames.ora in your client side.
With Windows 2000 you do not have to manually start the listener and the database. But with Windows 98, you have to before your client can connect to the database.
e-mail me if you want more details.

Installing forms 6i with 8i enterprise edition

First of all, I'm a beginner just trying to learn all I can about Oracle. I downloaded 8i enterprise edition and forms 6i from the OTN. I installed 8i with no problems and have been running it just fine. I decided to install forms 6i but when I did it would not let me install to the same default "home81", so I installed it in "home82". My first question is did I screw up royally and if so can I fix it. Second, after loading forms 6i, I viewed the configuration steps for Oracle forms and I'm trying to figure out where to go and performs the "Actions" that it refers to. As I said before, I am a beginner, so any advice, help, etc. would be greatly appreciated. One last question: does anyone know of any good sites to get info on forms developer to help me along in my learning process.
Thank You

Hi Richard,
Please visit the below site, you will user guid for forms6.0

Trouble installing "Form Builder" with Oracle Developer 6/6i

I get the following "Error Info" message first:
"path vrf(86): Unbound variable 'path_too_long_prompt'"
Then the following:
"The Oracle Installer cannot update the system path variable to %new- path% because it is too long. Please restrict your system path to 127 characters and make sure D:\Oracle\ORADEV\bin is included in your path."
Note that the reference to the D:\ drive is correct, but how do I correct this problem with the path variable being too long?
"Form Builder" does not get installed but the "Report Builder" which follows this step in the process installed just fine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, you can install. Install Oracle 9i DB and D2k on different HOME. Then, configure D2K tnsnames.ora as per 9iDB tnsnames.
it will work, and works fine for me.

Forms 6i with oracle 8.0.5

Please tell me , can i install Forms 6i with oracle 8.0.5 database ?

As far as I know you can use Forms 6i with a 8.0.5 database.
You will have problems if you try to install this development software in the same Oracle Home as any pre 6i development software.
Tip. Designer 6i repository has to be installed on a 2e edition 8i database(8.1.6). So if you are planning to use Forms6i in conjuction with Designer 6i...
Just food for thought..

Install Forms 6i to work with existing 8i setup

I am trying to install Forms 6i for use with an existing 8i Enterprise setup. When I ran the installation I was prompted for a new home. I specified a new home and Forms 6i was succesfully installed into this home. I wish to now use Procedure Builder and other Forms tools with the 8i database. When I am prompted to login to the database I specify my login and password and supply the 8i database name. I get an error TNS: could not resolve service name. What can I do to fix this?

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.

Could some one give me the details?
Thanks a lot!!

Hi Shay,
Thanks for help. I got it.
The problem I met is I should not export/import Oralce folder in registry.
If do that, Oracle only configure one home to either oracle817 or form6i.
Thanks again

Problem with installing Forms 11g on clients

Hi all,
I have successfuly installed weblogic server and Oracle Forms 11g on a server and everything works fine. I need to install Forms 11g on different clients for developers. My question is that do i need to install Weblogic on every single client or i can use the one that i have installed on my server. If i can use the one that i have installed, please explain how i can do this because i have tried a lot and the installer does not go to next page after asking for email address.
Thanks in forward,
Shademani
p.s. The clients are Win Xp

Two recommendations:
1. Read this:
http://blogs.oracle.com/shay/2007/03/02
2. If you are new to the product and/or product version, you should probably read the documentation before starting to install. Here is the url to the installation guide. This is a good starting place.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17904_01/install.1111/e10421/toc.htm
The installation guide explains what is needed and how to install.

Problem in Installing Forms 6i on Pentium 4 Machine

Dear All,
I tried to install forms 6i on my Pentium 4 machine but I was not
successful. Later I come to know that for doing this I need a patch
to be installed. i searched the whole oracle and intel site but I
could not get it. If any one else have come with similair problem and
get the patch then please tell me the site address and path from
where I can download the patch.
Thanks
Sunil Kumar(OCP-DBA)

Are you talking about a Forms patch or the JInitiator patch ? Do a search for JInitiator and P4 and find your way to www.sun.com for the JRE patch you need for P4's. Or get Forms 9i.

Problem in Installing Forms 6i in Oracle 8

Hi there
I am a home user and at the moment studying for OCP Oracle Forms Developer Rel. 6/6i and I really need some good help.
I have some problem in the Installing the Orcale Forms 6i, I have already installed WinNT4 (Server) and Oracle 8.
SO far I have tried to Install Forms 6i four times but I failed. Due to this reason every time I had to also Uninstall the Oracle 8
from my system, because it started to give problems.
OK THIS IS THE PROBLEM :
When I installed Oracle 8, the user name was <system> and the password was <manager> in the SQL Plus. I used it for few times and worked fine. But when I installed the Oracle Developer 6i the SQL Plus didn't accepted the same user name and the password. I tried many commands that I could find in the Oracle documentations (On the CD) but so far nothing.
Need some command or any thing to over write the system so I can change the user name and password.
Plus when I use turn on my computer and run WINNT 4 (server) I get message that I have some problem in Oracle80.exe file and due to that my system hangs for couple of minutes.
I also want the sample tables, but I don't know the particular command for SQL *PL by which I can get the sample tables.
Please help me by suggesting what shall I do.
Regards
Mustafa

Installation Procedure
Follow this procedure to install Developer 6.0 and Oracle 8i on the same physical machine in separate ORACLE_HOMEs on NT:
1) Install Developer 6.0 using the instructions on the Developer CD.
Specify an appropriate drive and the ORANT directory as the destination. For example:
D:\ORANT
Note: You must install Developer in the Oracle home named DEFAULT_HOME.
2) Install RDBMS 8.1.5 from the Oracle 8i CD. Specify the following information when prompted for the Oracle Home and Full path:
Oracle Home ora8i
Full Path d:\orant\ora8i
Choose Typical Install
Global Database Name ora8i.us.oracle.com (This is an example)
SID ORA8I (This is an example)
As the product installs, a summary is displayed that shows the products that are installed and the space requirements.
When the installation is complete, the following information is displayed and the installer exits:
Oracle Database Configuration Assistant Alert Database Creation Completed.
Database Information
Global Database Name ora8i.us.oracle.com
SID ORA8I
Sys password change_on_install
System passwd manager
3) A TNSNAMES entry needs to be created in the tnsnames.ora file for the new Oracle 8i installation. You can find the file in:
d:\orant\net80\admin\tnsnames.ora
A default entry will look like this:
alias.world
(DESCRIPTION
(ADDRESS_LIST
(ADDRESS
(PROTOCOL = TCP)
(Host = )
(Port = )
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = )
For example, if you installed on a machine with a HOSTNAME of TEST, a SID named ORA8I, on TCP/IP with port 1521, and an alias of NEW, you would create the following entry:
NEW.world
(DESCRIPTION
(ADDRESS_LIST
(ADDRESS
(PROTOCOL = TCP)
(Host = TEST)
(Port = 1521)
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = ORA8I)
4) If you manually created the entry, save and close the tnsnames.ora file.
You can now connect to the local database instance of 8i using the DBSTRING as NEW. For example, you can connect as scott/tiger@NEW.

What is the max clob length for Forms 6i with most recent updates.

I am trying to determine what the largest clob is that can be handled by Forms 6i with the latest patches installed. I have searched the forum and the help files and have found a bunch of different answers, but nothing useful - nothing current.
I have a record that has a clob field with 28,213 characters (including spaces) or 9902 characters (without spaces). Saved as a text file, it is 29kb.
To read and work with the data in Forms, I have to set the DATA: Maximum Length to 110000, almost 3 times the length of the actual data. I can read and edit the field without problems.
My questions are:
1. what is the maximum size of data in a clob field that will work with Forms 6i and Oracle 10R2 database (Forms with the most recent update)?
2. what is the Maximum Length - It certainly doesn't seem to be character. How do I set this - 3x Actual????
Thanks for the help
Glenn

In theory it should be 64k bytes. In practice its often a bit less than that.

I am unable to edit a form created with LiveCycle version 8.5 with LiveCycle Version ES1.

I am trying to edit a form created with LiveCycle version 8.08.2073 (installed with Adobe Pro 8). I am using LiveCycle version ES (installed with Adobe Pro 9). I can open the fhe form, but the tools are greyed out. It apears the file is locked for editing, but I cannot determine where/how to unlock it.

You should try to start in safe mode which runs a file check. You hold the shift key down during a start up till there is a progress bar towards thr bottom of the screen. This start will take a longer time than normal. In safe mode try the functioins you are having problems with to see if there is an improvement. Some links below to read.
