Is It Possible To Reconver 10g forms to 6i?

Hi all,
i want to reconvert my 10g forms to 6i. when i open a 10g forms in 6i form
builder i got the ROS error.Is it possible or any other utility is available for
conversion process.
Regards
Gopinath M

I hear this question, when someone has migrated to 10g, did some changes and now he needs this changes backported to the old Forms 6i...
because it is impossible you have to do something different :
- if you know, which changes you made in 10g, do it manually in Forms 6i
- if you know it not exactly convert the fmb to fmt... in the 6i-sources as well as in the 10g-sources. Compare the source-codes of both fmt's and find the changes in the pl/sql-sourcecodes. This is the easy part. Changes in block or item structures isn't that easy.
The program-unit-comparison of a text-version of the fmb is possible with the FILE - ADMIN - Object List Report. That feature generates a txt-file of your sourcecodes

How to change 10g forms url ?

Hello,
I developed forms in 10g forms developer and I can call my forms from web browser with default url like http://server:port/forms/frmservlet?config=myform.
Is there anyway the change that url like http://myform.com or something?
Thank you for your replies :)

Well, the first thing to understand is that when you call the Forms Servlet (frmservlet) you are calling a java application and not static content like an html page. So, changing the URL isn't exactly as easy as it would be for a simple web page. On the other hand, hiding the the real URL or redirecting to the proper url can be done fairly easily.
All of these assume you are using Application Server.
OPTION 1 - Hide The URL +(more information can be found in MyOracleSupport note 300326.1)+
<blockquote>There are several ways in which you can hide the real url, but probably the easiest will be to use an IFRAME. The only potential problem with this is that some security software or browser security settings may prevent this from working. So, here's what you do:
1. Using an HTML or text editor, create a static html file with the following code. Replace my Forms url with your own.
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>My Application</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<FRAMESET ROWS="100%,*" FRAMEBORDER=NO FRAMESPACING=0 BORDER=0>
<FRAME SRC="http://someServer:port/forms/frmervlet?config=myconfg" NAME="redir_frame">
</FRAMESET>
<NOFRAMES>
Sorry, your browser does not support frames. Click <A HREF="http://someServer:port/forms/frmervlet?config=myconfg" TARGET=_top>here</A>
</NOFRAMES>
<BODY>

</BODY>
</HTML>2. In the Oracle home from where OHS is running, find the htdocs directory within the OHS (apache) directories.
3. Rename "index.html", "index.html_original"
4. Copy your html file to this directory and name it "index.html"
It is possible that the html file being used is not "index.html". To determine the correct page, you may need to review your httpd.conf file as this is where the default page is set. Look for DirectoryIndex</blockquote>
OPTION 2 - Redirect To The Proper URL
<blockquote>1. Find and open httpd.conf
2. Within the file, locate this: <Directory />
3. Just below this line add the following. Use your own Forms url
RedirectMatch ^/$ /forms/frmservlet?config=somewhere</blockquote>

10G Forms connect to MS Access via JDBC

A new project requires a 10G Form to connect to MS Access database. I understand 10G no longer connects to Access using ODBC. Will JDBC work? If JDBC can be used does anyone have a "How To" document or examples on how to connect orms 10G to MS Access via JDBC
Thanks
Ralph

I dont think it will work. In 10g forms is going to implement transparent gateways.
Is there a possibility of getting the data from MS access directly to Oracle database and then connect to Oracle DB from forms ?

Running 10g forms in browser without any windows

Hi,
Is it possible to run the forms in the browser directly without any windows? I want the items in the canvas to be displayed on the browser (IE) without using windows. We are using Forms 10g release 2.
Our application is a MDI application.
Note: I've searched the related threads. There were some suggestions for setting the value of useSDI. The threads were quite old. So, I thought anything new might have come up...
Regards
-Ruban Santhakumar

Look for a File Formsweb.cfg in you forms directory. Look for entry "SeprateFrame" in this file and set it's value to false. This will open your forms in the IE, not in a window. Update, if this helps you......

Biometric(FP) in oracle 10g forms

Hi....I want to implement Finger Print Identification in oracle 10g forms for attendance purpose,
can any one help....
which fp device will suitable...
how to implement this....
if any one had implemented this..plz guide me..
IM-KHAN on Jun 29, 2011 1:05 AM

Forms has no native mechanism to support biometrics. However, it may be possible if you were to engineer your own java bean and integrate it into the form. Alternatively, you could integrate Forms with Oracle SSO and incorporate biometrics into SSO.
Java Bean examples can be found in the Forms Demos as well as numerous third party vendors and forums. Here is one example:
http://forms.pjc.bean.over-blog.com/
You might want to review the Oracle SSO documentation. Here is a chapter of interest:

Enable Tracing for Oracle 10g Forms

Hi All,
When I try to launch Oracle 10g Forms from web, it comes up, displays blank screen and goes away. Same happens for test.fmb.
How can I start tracing on Form Services or Oracle 10g Forms?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

You possibly have a popup or ad blocker active. Forms will most likely not work with a blocker.

10g Forms WEB_UTIL External dlls

Hello,
We are converting from Forms 6i to 10g and have several dll's that we currently call. All these dll's have been supplied by outside vendors. We have attempted to set up and use WEB_UTIL to continue calling these dlls in our 10g Forms and have run into errors. We posted a TAR and they have responded that all dll's must be written in C or C++ and only compiled using MSVC6. How in the world can anyone possibly ensure this? Does anyone know of a package or whatever that really works since it appears that WEB_UTIL is extremely limited and of no use to us?
Thanks to all for any help you can give me

Hi Andreas,
Thanks for your message.
I have set the path correctly in OAS. It picks up other object libraries except webutil where everything is in the same folder.
I am still getting the error.

10g forms and reports services

hi,
one of our small scale customer is asking for the program in 10g forms. the requirement is only to run forms and reprot against the database, (no signle sign on, internet dir etc). the question is
1.) do he require forms & reports services to run the forms ? (stand alone or something like that). Ff Yes is it possible to purchase that alone. without other AS components..?
thanks in Adv.
Kris

Hi Kris,
My understanding is that you will require Forms and Reports services to enable your client to run the application from a server. These can be purchased seperately up to 10g R2 - but I'm not sure about the latest versions...

Is it possible to create a form with multiple form fields on a single line?

Is it possible to create a form with multiple form fields on a single line? I can't find anything in the documentation or a template that does this.
I am trying to create a "documents received" checklist with a check box on the left margin, a date-received field to the right of the check box and and a description of the document (Formatted Text) on the far right.
In the past I have entered the Fixed Text with a word processor, published it to a PDF file, then added the check box and date fields with the Acrobat Forms editor. I would prefer to use FormsCentral if it is possible.

We now support multiple fields on one line. This post provides a brief overview.
Give it a try and send us your feedback.
Sorry it took so long.

hi
1 How to Display Iconic Images Using Forms 9.0.x/ 10.x?
When running an Oracle Forms 9i/10g application the icon files used must be in a web enabled
format such as JPG or GIF (GIF is the default format) (This is unlike older versions of forms running in client-server mode when the file format is .ico.)
Icon image files can either be retrieved by Forms as individual files on the filesystem or from a Java Archive (JAR file).
If an application uses lots of icon images it is recommended that they are stored in a JAR file to reduce the number of HTTP round trips.
Reference:Note 232413.1 How to Deploy Iconic Images via a JAR File in Forms 9i/10g?
The example below details steps to configure iconic images as individual gif or jpeg files.
It is a first approach recommended for initial testing and understanding.
Example:
========
This document has been written for use with both Windows and UNIX operating systems: Windows will use the "\" character to delimit directories and UNIX uses the "/" character. Any other differences are noted in the document.
1) Determine the physical location of the icons on your web server. For this example, assume that the icons are stored in D:\Myfiles\icons.
2) Create the virtual directory in the forms90.conf file that point to the location of your Forms 9i/10g icons. This file is located in:
$ORACLE_HOME\forms90\server\forms90.conf
To define a virtual directory forms90/icons, use the following syntax:
# Virtual path for ICONS (used to show icons in a form ) AliasMatch ^/forms90/icons/(..*) "D:\Myfiles/icons/$1"
Below is an example of the forms90.conf after it has been modified to include the /forms90/icons virtual directory.
# Virtual path mapping for Forms Java jar and class files (codebase) AliasMatch ^/forms90/java/(..*) "E:\IASR2\APP/forms90/java/$1" # Virtual path for JInitiator downloadable executable and download page AliasMatch ^/forms90/jinitiator/(..*) "E:\IASR2\APP/jinit/$1" # Virtual path for runform.htm (used to run a form for testing purposes) AliasMatch ^/forms90/html/(..*) "E:\IASR2\APP/tools/web90/html/$1"
# Virtual path for ICONS (used to show icons in a form ) AliasMatch ^/forms90/icons/(..*) "D:\Myfiles/icons/$1"
( For 10g use instead of "forms90" -> "forms")
3) Direct forms to use the /forms90/icons or /forms/icons virtual directory when running on the web by modifying the Registry.dat file in the $ORACLE_HOME\forms90\java\oracle\forms\registry or $ORACLE_HOME\forms\java\oracle\forms\registry
directory. Note that for UNIX, both the path name and file name are case sensitive. You must specify "Registry.dat".
Modify the default.icons.iconpath entry as follows: default.icons.iconpath=http:///forms90/icons/ or default.icons.iconpath=http:///forms/icons/
If the URL used to bring up forms on the web is: http://abc.oracle.com:7778/forms90/f90servlet or http://abc.oracle.com:7778/forms/frmservlet
Then the entry required for the Registry.dat will be: default.icons.iconpath=http://abc.oracle.com:7778/forms90/icons or default.icons.iconpath=http://abc.oracle.com:7778/forms/icons default.icons.iconextension=gif
4) Now use EM Website to: a) Restart the OC4J-BI-Forms Instance b) Restart the BI-FORMS HTTP Server Instance.
5) Verify that the virtual directory has been defined properly and that the icons can be viewed in a browser.
Assuming that exeqry.gif exists in the D:\Myfiles\icons directory, the following URL should show the icon:
http://abc.oracle.com:7778/forms90/icons/exeqry.gif or http://abc.oracle.com:7778/forms/icons/exeqry.gif
6) Check the form : http://abc.oracle.com:7778/forms90/f90servlet?form=D:\Testcases\F90\ICON_CHECK_IASR2.fmx or http://abc.oracle.com:7778/forms/frmservlet?form=D:\Testcases\F10g\ICON_CHECK_IASR2.fmx
CHECKLISTS
=============
Icons do not appear in the browser using the URL:
o Verify that you are using the correct machine name and port for the OC4J_BI_Forms object.
o Check the virtual directory name to make sure that there are no typographical errors. o Check for typographical errors in the forms90.conf or forms.
conf for the virtual directory. o Check the name of the icon on the file system. If the file is saved as Exeqry.gif, then it will not be found using the URL http://abc.oracle.com:7778/forms90/ Close all your browser sessions and open a new browser window.
Execute the URL to bring up from the Form Builder runtime or from the browser.
( For 10G use "forms" instead of "forms90")USEFUL REFERENCES:==================
