Is Oracle forms 6i (32-bit) certified to connect to Oracle database 64-bit

Is Oracle forms 6i (32-bit) ,patch 17 (windows XP -32bit) certified to connect to
Oracle database 10g(64-bit database) on a 64-bit Windows 2008 R2 Operating system ?

Well, in general 6i has been desupported. However, back when it was still supported, it was certified for use with a 10.1 db (10gR1).
Details about Forms 6i desupport can be found in MyOracleSupport in article 228666.1

Oracle Forms 6i(32-bit) = Oracle database 10g R2 Windows 2008 R2 64-bit)

We have Oracle database 10g R2 installed on a Microsoft Windows 2008 R2 (64-bit) (SERVER1)
We have Oracle Forms 6i (patch 4a) installed on a Microsoft Windows XP Professional (32-bit) (SERVER2)
I am not able to connect from SERVER2 to SERVER1, either through SQLPLUS or FORMS BUILDER.
Its giving some DLL error.
Is it because forms 6i (32-bit) cannot connect to a 64-bit database on a 64-bit OS ?

There might be problems with 8i clients (like forms 6i) if the database uses AL32UTF8 characterset indeed (if you need unicode and you need to run forms 6i use UTF8 instead) but this should not be related to the platform of the database.
The platform of the database server really should not matter as the forms runtime talks via SQL*Net with the database server and in the end it does not matter if the database runs on linux, windows whatsoever or unix 32 or 64 bit for the client. The only problem you'll encounter is that SQL*Net also changes with versions and thus "older" clients might not be able to communicate with "newer" servers and vice versa.

Connect to the database straight from the direct access of form builder

What do i have to put in the direct access of form builder and procedure builder to connect to the database without have to do it once i4ve enter into form or procedure builder, I know i have to put user/password and connect string but in which order or which characters do i have to use.
Thanks in advance.

thanks jdendas, that works with forms but not with procedure builder, if i put that it does not start the session with the procedure builder.
Thanks anyway-

Which version of Oracle database is certified on Windows 2008 R2 ( 64-bit)

We have a Microsoft Windows 2008 R2 (64-bit) server.
I wanted to know which Oracle database version is 100% certified on the above OS.

Hi Sirini;
10.2.0.5 is supported - see MOS Doc 1061272.1 (Statement of Direction: Oracle Database 10g Release 2 Client (10.2.0.5) with Microsoft Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2)Correct;
11gR2 is also supported - see MOS Doc 867040.1 (Statement of Direction: Oracle Database 11g Release 2 – Microsoft Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2)There is a setup on this link:
Oracle Database 11g Release 2
(11.2.0.1.0)
Microsoft Windows (x64) File 1, File 2 (2GB) See All
I am little bit confused for this, as you mention note and also certification matrix says 11gr2 certfied with Win2008-64 bit. But there is no specific setup like win2008-64 bit, there is only Microsoft Windows (x64) setup
By the way for 10gR2 on win 2008 64 bit platform there are 2 setups. Those are:
Oracle Database 10g Release 2
Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.4) for Microsoft Windows Vista x64 and Microsoft Windows Server 2008 x64
Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.1.0) for Microsoft Windows (x64)
So i had issue for my client and oracle worker support me to use 10.2.0.4 for my issue, not second setup. So for 11gR2 could be work for Microsoft Windows (x64) but i am not sure %100 coz never tried before.
i appreciate, If someone share their experience to make installation 11gR2 on win2008-64 bit wiht Microsoft Windows (x64) setup
All those upper setups can be found at:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/downloads/index.html
I do not believe 11gR1 is currently certified with Win 2008 R2.Please check below link:

Oracle 11g, 64 bit, Forms 11g 64 bit on Windows 7 Professional 64-bit

We just changed over to Windows 7 64 Bit now we trying to find out what version of Fusion Middleware will run on Windows 7 64 bit. Most posting say you can't install
Oracle 11g 64 bit on Windows 7 64 bit OS, but we have found a few that say they have found away to install 11g 64 bit. Not one of them shows you the install
from start to finish and some of the posting go back to 2009!
If this has been a problem from 2009 - present can some tell why Oracle has not provided a fix or update for Windows 7 64 bit and are they going to in the future?
If anyone knows how install Oracle 11g 64 bit, Forms 11g 64 bit on Windows 7 Professional 64-bit please let me know!
Thanks!
Monty

Monty,
I assume that you mean the developer tools? They are kind of in limbo with 64-bit support for the dev tools, but if you want to get the latest (as of today) release working, you can do this:
1). Install a 64-bit JDK
2). Install WLS 10.3.4 generic (use the 64-bit java)
3). Install Forms/Reports 11.1.1.2 (install only, don't configure)
4). Install Forms/Reports 11.1.1.4 (install only, don't configure)
5). Edit your PATH system variable so that it doesn't contain any parenthesis. I did this by creating a junction point for c:\program files (x86) and using the junction point in the path
6). Run the configuration utility to create the forms/reports domain. Be sure to specify the dev tools
7). Look in the start menu for the Reports Builder icon. It will be pointing to a batch file. Edit that batch file to comment out the lines that print a message and exit (because you're on 64-bit)
Not officially supported, but it works for me.

We were able to do the same thing with Oracle Application Server and Oracle WebLogic Server. I cannot remember how different the processes were, but it seems like they were very similar. I am going to give you the instructions on how we implemented a "Read PDF" procedure on the WebLogic Server. If you are still on the Application Server you may have to do some Google searches, but it all boils down to the mod_plsql DAD Configuration file.
Our PDF was located in a table with the following structure:
CASE_DOCUMENTS
   (id_document                    NUMBER NOT NULL,
    doc_blob                       BLOB,
    note                           VARCHAR2(240),
    created_by                     VARCHAR2(20) NOT NULL,
    created_dt                     DATE NOT NULL,
    case_id                        NUMBER NOT NULL,
    filename                       VARCHAR2(100) NOT NULL)Based on that table structure we created a procedure named READ_PDF which you will reference below in the dads.conf file below:
CREATE or REPLACE procedure read_pdf (p_id_document IN number)
is
view_file     blob;
BEGIN
select doc_blob
    into view_file
    from case_documents
   where id_document = p_id_document;
OWA_UTIL.MIME_HEADER ('APPLICATION/PDF', FALSE);
HTP.P ('CONTENT-LENGTH: ' || DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH (view_file));
OWA_UTIL.http_header_close;
WPG_DOCLOAD.download_file (view_file);
END;
GRANT EXECUTE ON read_pdf TO financial_user_role -- Name of role to execute
/Basically, you are passing in one parameter and that is the primary key for your table. You are selecting the pdf stored in a BLOB for that primary key. The commands below that allow the pdf to open up so you can view it – we got this off some search we did a few years ago.
Now, you need to add logic to your Oracle Form that will call the procedure above, but the URL is based on the dads.conf file that we will set up below… Anyway, we created a button on the form module with a label of "View". In the WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger the logic looks like this:
-- The View logic uses the DAD (Database Access Descriptors) method to view a .pdf file from the form.
-- The DAD was created on WebLogic Server with the name findadgen. This allows an http request be made
-- to the database.
declare
v_file          varchar2(400);
v_success       boolean;
ret_val         number;
v_http_link     varchar2(400);
begin
-- The format of the link is as follows: hostname:port/pls/DAD_name/procedure_name
v_http_link := 'http://finas03:8888/pls/findadgen/read_pdf?p_id_document=' || :case_documents.id_document;
web.show_document(v_http_link, '_BLANK');
end;The name of our WebLogic Server is "finas03" so that is what is listed in the URL. The "findadgen" is the name of the <Location> in the dads.conf file below, the "read_pdf" is the name of the procedure we created above, the "p_id_document=" is the IN parameter listed in the READ_PDF procedure created above, and the ":case_documents.id_document" is the reference to the primary key in our Oracle Form.
For WebLogic, you can either go through Enterprise Manager (directions below) or update the dads.conf file on the filesystem directly (if you update the dads.conf file directly then skip to step 4 and ignore step 5):
1.     Enterprise Manager -> Web Tier -> ohs1
2.     Oracle HTTP Server (pull-down) – Administration – Advance Configuration
3.     Select File – dads.conf
4.     Add something similar:
# ============================================================================
#                     mod_plsql DAD Configuration File
# ============================================================================
# 1. Please refer to dads.README for a description of this file
# ============================================================================
# Note: This file should typically be included in your plsql.conf file with
# the "include" directive.
# Hint: You can look at some sample DADs in the dads.README file
# ============================================================================
<Location /pls/findadgen>
    SetHandler pls_handler
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from All
    AllowOverride None
    PlsqlDatabaseUsername financial
    PlsqlDatabasePassword sdo_3#d1
    PlsqlDatabaseConnectString ffindbTNSFormat
    PlsqlNLSLanguage AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1
    PlsqlAuthenticationMode Basic
    PlsqlDefaultPage read_pdf
</Location>You are adding the <Location> section to your dads.conf file. The "finddadgen" is the name that you will reference in a change you fill make to your Oracle Form. The "financial" is the Schema, the "sdo_3#d1" is the password for that Schema, the "ffindb" is the database that the stored procedure is located on, and the "read_pdf" is a stored procedure you will have to create in order to read the pdf.
5.     Press the "Apply" Button
6.     Obfuscate the DAD password by running the dadTool.pl script located in $ORACLE_HOME/bin (This was done on Unix on our server with the following commands):
$> LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib;export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
$> cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin
$> perl dadTool.pl -f /u01/app/oracle/middleware/asinst_1/config/OHS/ohs1/mod_plsql/dads.conf
7.     Restart the Oracle HTTP Server using Fusion Middleware Control:
Enterprise Manager -> Web Tier -> ohs1
Oracle HTTP Server – Control – Shutdown
Oracle HTTP Server – Control – Start Up
If you followed the instructions above, you should have created a stored procedure, added logic to your Oracle form to reference that stored procedure, and created an entry in the dads.conf file. Once you move the form onto the server and you restart the HTTP Service, you should be able to view a pdf that is stored in a table directly from your Oracle Form.

How to install oracle database in window7-64 bit corei3 processor?

Forms 6i and Oracle database 10g compatibility

Hi all,
We have application on Forms 6i (client/server) using ORACLE database 8i, looking for an upgrade of database to 10g version. Based on earlier threads on this topic Forms 6i is certified with patchset 17, i couldn't find this patchset on metalink.
Can someone confirm when to expect patch 17, as i see the ECS will end by 01/Jan/2005.
Thanks,
Lokesh

We completed certification for 10g with patch 16 so you can use P16

Oracle database 11g release 2 installation problem on windows 7 (64-bit)

First of all my windows is not genuine, but on my friend's desktop oracle download and installation worked fine, he chose "create and configure database" options, and it works very well on his desktop, though his windows is also illegitimate. In my case, when I select "Create and configure database" option and pressed 'next",
(Go to my blog to see it with snapshots: Computer Science: Oracle database 11g release 2 installation problem on windows 7 (64-bit))
it asks to select class, I select "Desktop class" and pressed "next". The moment I pressed "next", the whole setup thing disappeared like it was never started. I searched for all possible reasons for why its not getting installed on my laptop, I used registry cleaner s/w, deleted 25 GB of data to create free space if it were the problem, increased the virtual memory to increase the space for RAM, I did almost everything to get this setup working, but I found no success with the "Create and Configure database" option
and
then
I chose a "database software only" option and chose to store in a folder w/o spaces. This way, I got database s/w only and then later I found "Database configuration Assistant (DBCA)" from windows START button and clicked to create and configure database manually. The steps are pretty much interactive and doesn't involve much brainstorming.
The values I filled for
1) Global Database Name : orcl
2) System Identifier : orcl
3) I chose common password for both SYS and SYSTEM
4) while on Enterprise Manager Configuration step, It asked me to create and configure listener in oracle home, so for that too, I typed "netca" in windows START menu and clicked it. There I added a listener.
5) I chose a Storage area which was the Oracle-home itself i.e. where our installation files goes , in my case it is : C:\oracle_base\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\oradata
6) Then after few more nitty-gritty clicks, we are set to go !
Finally to write SQL code and to create your first TABLE , type "sqlplus" in windows "START" menu and click it when it appears. A command-prompt like window appears , which will ask you for username and password, so here they are :
Username : sys/ as sysdba
Password : (its the one you created in step 3 stated above )
After this you are ready to write your first SQL command.

Is this your solution to your original post at Oracle database 11g release 2 installation on windows 7 (64-bit) ?
Pl be aware that you should not create any custom objects in SYS or SYSTEM schema - you should create any such objects in a separate custom schema.

32 bit Oracle database 10g to 64 bit Oracle Database 11g on Windows 2008

Hi everybody,
I'm going to move and upgrade my 32 bit Oracle database server 10g to another 64 bit windows 2008 server.
New database server will be 64 bit Oracle database server 11g.
Somebody told me export import doesn't carry archieve logs therefore is there any way to move and upgrade the database without any lost?
Thanks for your help

I'm going to move and upgrade my 32 bit Oracle database server 10g to another 64 bit windows 2008 server.
New database server will be 64 bit Oracle database server 11g.
Somebody told me export import doesn't carry archieve logs therefore is there any way to move and upgrade the database without any lost?Yes, in export/import, you will create a new database and import. The question is why you want to prefer export/import?
is it source database 32bit is in different OS platform? If not directly after installation you can upgrade the database. using DBUA

I run Dev 6i on Windows 2008 R2 64-bit,the forms are working fine after connection to the database but the reports continue to request for username, password and database connection string every time i try to open a report.

I receive REP-0501: Unable to connect to specified database. I run developer 6i application on windows 2008 r2. I have applied the nn60.dll and nnb60.dll files to the \BIN directory. The forms are working fine. The reports will only display after the correct user id (username, password and database connection string) is supplied. This is happening to all attempts to open already complied form. Pls, help.

If you are connecting to an Oracle 11g database, remember that by default the passwords are case sensitive. To disable that, run
ALTER SYSTEM SET SEC_CASE_SENSITIVE_LOGON = FALSE;

Is Oracle forms 6i (32-bit) certified to connect to Oracle database 64-bit
