Integrate Forms and Reports for Developer Suite 10g

Hi all,
One of my client is moving to Developer Suite 10g R2. Currently he is using Version 6i. I've converted the forms into 10g. Only one problem being faced by me is Reports. Our form which used
to call the reports was using Run_Product. Now, I've changed the functionality to Run_Report_Object. The problem is i need to create a report node in the form for every report. I've 200 reports. If there is any
way, where i can add the report node in the form module dynamically, this will reduce my work to a greater extent.
Regards,
Alok Dubey

hello,
It is quite easy to add a report node using the JDAPI.
1) Put all the forms in a directory.
2) Find the JDAPI example in the online help.
3) Modify it in order to have the functionality: add report item
4) IF you are certain there are no report nodes already attached, you don't need to loop through your form module in order to check for existing report nodes.
If you are not tempted to write your own routine, you can use francois degrelle'S own JDAPI batch process.

Urgent!! Deploy reports for Developer suite 10g (Newbie)

Hi All,
I've generated few jsp report using report builder from developer suite 10g. I know in the developer suite 9i. I just copy these jsp files under \reports\j2ee\web. Then start OC4J Instance, and type in from browser as http://localhost:8888/reports/testreport.jsp?userid=username/password@dbconnection. However, it doesn't work for 10g. Is there any different in deploy report for 10g? Please help....
Thanks,
Best Regards,

Andy,
It's impossible to help us if you doesn't specify what error messages you get?
If I should take a guess, you're using the wrong port number. Did you check if it's correct before posting your message? Most Developer Suite 10g installations comes with port number 8889.

Deploying forms and reports on Application Server 10g

I had buit some forms,reports by using Oracle Developer Suite( Oracle Form developer, Report developer ) , I had run them on that tools. Now I want to deploy on Oracle Application Server. How can do it , any one can tell me step by step (because I'm a beginer). How do I deploy on Application Server ? I had installed Oracle Application Server (without install Infrastructure) , can I deploy ? because My computer not support install Oracle Application Server with Infrastructure (memory only 512M). Are there any way ?
I'm beginer, please tell me step by step. thanks

Hi,
You can install the Oracle Application Forms and Reports standalone version of the application server. This does not require an infrastructure.
As far as deployment of Forms and Reports, you can either place your compiled (.fmx and .rep) files in the default \forms90 directory or you can place them in another directory and specify the location in the formsweb.cfg file.
For more information on the Oracle Forms and Reports standalone, see the installation guide at http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19375_06/doc/frs/install/B16392_03/toc.htm.
For information in deploying Oracle Forms, see the Oracle® Application Server Forms Services Deployment Guide at http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19375_06/doc/frs/forms/B14032_03/toc.htm
Reports deployment info is contained in the Oracle® Application Server Reports Services Publishing Reports to the Web at http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19375_06/doc/frs/reports/B14048_02/toc.htm

Migrating Oracle forms and reports from 6i to 10g Application server on Uni

HI Guys,
We are migrating from Oracle forms and reports 6i to 10g.
We will be having application server on Unix box.
I understand following will be the changes i will have to do in this respect -
1. Fonts are to be revisited only Java fonts are supported.
2. Obsolete items, function calls, triggers are to be removed.
My question is since this application can be cross platform application,
Can anyone provide me with changes that I will have to do with configuration files like -
1. Formsweb.cfg,
2. forms.conf
3. default.env
4. registry.dat
Keeping in mind that the application server will be on unix box.
Thanks,
Av.

Java fonts are only supported for the Forms version.
You can use your own fonts for Reports however, there is some legwork to do this. I know because I just went through it.
If you will only being using the PDF output (which for me replaced the Preview mode that existed in 6i), then you have to install the TTF for the missing font, an AFM (use the ttf2pt1 utility to generate the AFM file, but make sure you remove the AFM extension when moving it to Unix). You'll want to use the PDF Subset in the uifont.ali (which exists under the ORACLE_HOME/guicommon/tk/admin directory and add the line underneath the PDF Subset "Font Family Name"="TTF Font Name" The font family name is found when you open the AFM file in textpad or wordpad for the font you generated. This is what you enter. The TTF Font Name is the name the TTF font. You'll have to restart Reports Server after this.
If printing to the printer directly is an option you must have, I will tell you it does not work in Linux right now. You can print to the printer but if the font doesn't exist on the internal memory of the printer, it won't work. There are 3rd party utilities like ORARRP and PDFPrint that can take care of this but, each has its own limitations. The one thing I found with ORARRP is if you generate a Report with an RRPA file extension and open it on Windows, it works great, the printer dialog comes up asking you what printer you want to print too. However, if you call this in Linux/Unix with the filename, it brings it up in the web browser but doesn't prompt you for your printer to print too automatically. So, for me, it's a show stopper. My only other option is to install the fonts on the printer that are missing.
As for the files you want to change, you'll obviously have to make changes to the formsweb.cfg, default.env, forms.conf. I have to modify the reports.sh for some PL/SQL attached libraries to make sure it picks them up. I did have to modify Registry.dat.
There is alot of work but mainly forms wasn't too bad, unless you had fonts that weren't supported. Usually there is another font that you can use to replace the old one but you have to know which fonts exists on the server and try all the keys on the keyboard to find the corresponding keystroke.
Hope this helps.

Download link for Developer Suite 10g 10.1.2 for Windows not working

I cannot download Oracle Developer Suite 10g 10.1.2 for Windows. The link redirects to the Application Server download page following the license agreement.

I downloaded it a few minutes ago and it opens ok.
But the file size is 671 825 075 instead of the (626,122,752 bytes) written on the DS 10g for Windows page.

Form and report server with oracle 10g express edition

how to ?

tnsnames.ora , that was problem I thank you very much....for the prompt reply..
there are only hr, sys, system database in Oracle XE. Scott/tiger database is obviously not available in Oracle XE edition. Is it true?
Unfortunately it will be very difficult to help you
because you have not provided any details about
whatever your problem is. That said, there is no
reason why you cannot use Forms 9.0.4 or 10.1.2 with
Oracle XE. This does not necessarily mean that
either version is certified or supported for use with
XE, but there is no obvious reason why it won't
work.
All that is necessary is that you add the correct
entry to the tnsnames.ora file which resides in the
Forms/Reports Oracle home.I thank you for the reply

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.

Converting forms and reports to 10g

I am converting both forms and reports from 6i to 10g. Most of the reports work fine, however I am having problems with a few of them. When I run the reports from a URL, they run fine. However, when I try and call them from the forms, I get a REP-188: Reports Server only accepts batch jobs error message. I have looked around for information on what could cause this, but have only found the following:
How to use the BATCH commandline parameter when moving from RWCLI60 (6i) to RWCLIENT (9i) ?
When using RWCLIENT and the BATCH parameter is passed, the value always has to be YES. The Reports Server only accept batch jobs and cannot handle interactive requests in Oracle9i Reports. If you are passing BATCH=NO you will get an error: REP-188: Reports Server only accept batch jobs
I don't specify BATCH=NO anywhere, so am unsure of what is causing this problem.
We are using Mode=Batch, Destype=Cache for all 20 reports that are run from forms. 6 out of the 20 give us the REP-188 error. We have also tried Mode=Runtime, but this does not help.
Please advise.

I'm not in a position YET to help you work out a solution. But I propose a trade.
If you can help me get my reports server going (see my post of today 19th) then I promise to help investigate your problem.
Interested? If you are UK based then you can call me on 01202 862459

Cannot download Developer Suite 10g (10.1.2.0.0) from OTN

Hi, everybody!
On page http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ids/index.html first link "Windows" points to download page for Application Server 10.1.2, not Developer Suite 10.1.2.
Where I can find download page for Developer Suite 10g (10.1.2.0.0) for Windows?
With best wishes,
Igor Shulgin

For as far as I know Developer Suite 10.1.2 is not available yet. The latest 10g release is version 9.0.4.
The current Application Server does not include Forms/Reports. Application Server with Forms/Reports will be released soon, and that will include a 10.x release of Developer Suite I assume

Query on install Oracle AS Forms and Reports Services

Hi All,
I want to install 'Oracle Internet Application Server Products - Forms and Reports', I referenced the 'Forms and Reports Services Installation Guides 10g Release 2(10.1.2) for Windows B16392-02'.
I install successfully up to Chapter 5.
When I jump into Chapter 6 of the release (Configuring Forms and Reports Services to Use an Oracle Application Server Infrastructure), I followed the guideline but could not see my AS has any way to allow me to configure Oracle Identity Management/OracleAS Metadata Repository/Starting OPMN Services/Testing the Configuration.... Is it because my AS is just for Forms and Reports and not a full feature one? How I can test my AS is working?
On the other hand, is it possible to migrate forms and reports from old version like Developer 2000 4.5 to 10g? Any reference or suggestion?
And what I need to do more with the current AS in order to allow me to upload forms and reports to it? Please kindly advise.
Best Regards
AC

Hi AC!
There are two versions of Forms and Reports: one standalone and one as part of the Application Server. The second one will offer the Infrastructure. If you use the second one then you will have an Infrastructure after the installation.
Seems to me that you do not have the complete AS but the standalone version.
