Is Oracle Forms builder version 10.1.2.0.2 certified with Windows 7 ?

Hello
I need to change my old PC that is running 32 bit XP.
On this PC , I have installed Oracle Forms builder 10.1.2.0.2
I need to keep this version of forms as my customer is running the same version on linux.
I wish to upgrade my PC and install Windows7 (32 bit ) . Is Windows7 certified with Oracle Form builder 10.1.2.0.2?
Thanks

Hello Sunny,
I just asked that same question in a service request a few days ago and got this answer from Oracle Support:
Question "Could you please also check if Forms/Reports Builder *10g* (10.1.2.3.0) are being certified for Windows 7 (32- and 64-bit)? As far as I know Forms/Reports Builder 10g are currently not certified for Win7 at all."
ODM Answer / Action Plan:
"According to product management and http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/10gR2/clientsod_forms10gR2.html , Windows 7 is certified as a client platform for 10.1.2.3, however production runtime deployments on Windows 7 is not supported for this version. You can build your Forms applications using Forms Builder on Windows 7 and test it, but when it is time to deploy it in a multi user environment, it needs to be deployed on a supported production deployment. So it should be ok to install iDS 10.1.2.3 on Windows 7 and develop your applications. The installation should be according to How to Install Developer Suite 10.1.2.3 on Windows Vista (Doc ID 559067.1). The note is for Vista, but the instructions apply for Windows 7 as well."
So I'd assume Windows 7 to be supported as well with Forms and Reports Builder 10.1.2.3.0.
Regards
Andreas

Is there a version of Sybase Central that is Certified with Windows 8

We are upgrading users to Windows 8 and we are running into issues installing Sybase Central on the OS. Is there a version of Sybase Central that is certified? I also understand that development on Sybase Central has been discontinued, is there a replacement client for this software. Our users have mainly used this tool to view objects, run queries and create stored procedures.

Hi Ryan,
I downloaded the version as per your instruction and we are still having issues installing the client. I don't know how important this additional information is but we are using Windows 8.1. During the install it aborts with the following error.
Invocation of this Java Application has caused an InvocationTargetException. Thi
s application will now exit. (LAX)

Oracle forms 10G -Version 10.1.2.0.2 will it support timestamp data type ?

Hi all,
We are having database server - oracle 10g enterprise edition R2,
forms - Oracle forms 10G -Version 10.1.2.0.2 on windows 2000 professional.
We have created a table which has a column of type "timestamp",the following is the structure.
CREATE TABLE "STOCK_AREA_MASTER"
        (     "STOCK_AREA_CODE"     NCHAR(5)       NOT NULL    ENABLE,
              "STOCK_AREA_DESC"     NVARCHAR2(40) NOT NULL    ENABLE,
              "RECORD_STATUS"       CHAR(1)        DEFAULT 'A',
              "USER_ID"             NVARCHAR2(20) DEFAULT USER,
              "TIMESTAMP"           TIMESTAMP (6) DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP)
[\code]
We tried to invoke this table(stock_area_master) using database block wizard in forms 10g,we were expecting to see the columns in this table,but we got the following error
FRM -10095 - Assertion failed
on seeing the forms help for the error FRM-10095,We are getting the following message
FRM-10095: Assertion failed in %s, at %s:%d. Cause:  An internal inconsistency was detected. Action:  Contact an Oracle support representative, and proceed with caution
We have the following concerns.
1.) is it possible to have datatype "timestamp" in forms 10g,our researches show that we can manipulate using datatime datatype in forms,our requirement is have to precision of 6 digits(millisecond - format - dd/mm/rr hh24:mi:ss:ssss),we are able query and view precision to the tune dd/mm/rr hh24:mi:ss:ssss,but we are unable to insert/update to this precision.
We would appreciate if some one could throw some light on the above.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Mohan

Hi Mohan,
Hm. Strange.
I have reproduced the problem in my environment.
I have also found, that building the block manually, seems to work, as long as you define the item with datatype Char in Form Builder. Inserts and updates using a value like "22-AUG-06 11:10:11,647354 AM" worked fine for the timestamp item.
You may want to enforce some dateformat. I don't know whether that will work.
Good Luck!

Bug in Oracle Forms Builder 6i?

When converting from binary to text in Oracle Forms Builder, the conversion is inexplicably dropping a WHEN-VALIDATE-RECORD trigger for one of my data blocks.
I am running Oracle Forms Builder 6i on Windows XP with the latest patches. I couldn't find anything in the bug search that resembled this problem. Is this a known issue? Is there a workaround?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I just tested this in 10.1.2.2 on XP and could not reproduce the problem. It is unlikely that this is a bug and if it was, it is very likely that it was already corrected.
Ensure that you are using 6.0.8.26. If you are using Oracle Applications you should be using 6.0.8.27.
Also, Error Correction Support for stand-alone Forms 6.0.x users ended long ago, which means that a patch cannot be provided for version 6.x.

Oracle Forms Builder Customization

Hi all,
I am beginning a software integration project and would really appreciate it if you could give me some guidance. Is it possible to customize the Forms Builder IDE and create menu items or buttons with scripts behind them to support something like automated storage and build functions that are linked to Subversion? Alternatively, is anyone aware of a third-party plug-in or application for Forms Builder that will support this? Thanks in advance.
-S

Because you have not offered details about which product versions, platforms, or hardware you are using, I can only offer some generic information. However, for the most part, the same concept will apply to all versions and platforms.
It sounds like what you are looking to do is fairly simple and there may not be a need for using something as complex as the Forms API. Correct me if I am wrong but this is what I understand... you want to:
1. Generate multiple executable files (FMX, MMX, PLX) from source files (FMB, MMB, PLL)
2. Copy or relocate the latest source files
3. Copy or relocate the latest executable files to a production environment
All of the above can be fairly easy to accomplish with simple scripts. For example batch files on Windows (shell scripts on Unix).
Generate executable files*
See My Oracle Support Article 955143.1 for some example code of how to compile with a script.
Copy or relocate the latest source files*
Examples of how to determine the newer of two files can be found all over the Internet, but I foudn the following to be quite clear (these are Windows batch examples):
http://forums.techguy.org/dos-pda-other/835496-solved-how-compare-2-file.html
This information along with the copy or xcopy command (Windows) can be used to move the latest files to a new location.
Copy or relocate the latest executable*
The same as above can be used for these files, however if the production server is a remote machine and not the same machine, some permissions handling may be necessary.
This search will expose information about copying across network share (mapped drives)

Oracle Forms Builder 10.1.2.3 hangs when opening canvas

Hi
I created a form with 1 master, 2 details and a tab panel. Now I can't open the canvas. Each time I try to open it Oracle Form Builder hangs. What can I do?

I've installed Oracle Developer Suite (ODS) 10g R2 on numerous Windows 7 systems and have only encountered an issue with Forms Builder crashing a couple of times. Each time, I've been able to resolve the problem by modifying the OS PATH environment variable to ensure there is not a conflict between Oracle versions. If you only have ODS 10g installed, this should not be a problem, but if you have different versions of Forms installed - this could very well be the problem. My you might want to take a look at the OS PATH and make sure all Windows related directories are listed first. Then list the ODS directories second and lastly, list everything else. Oracle has a bad habit of putting it's program directories before the operating system directories.
It is also possible that your installation media is bad since your install is crashing in Windows XP mode as well. That being the case, you may want to download the installer again.

Oracle Forms Builder 10g release 2 documentation?

I'm trying to locate a book about Oracle Forms Builder 10g release 2. I'm needing a beginner's guide. I've seen the advanced techniques one, but I can't seem to find one for someone that is just starting out. Does anyone have any suggestions?

There are a couple of books by Albert Lulushi that will give you the basics you can build upon. These are older books, but the concepts they present are still valid.
<ul>
<li>Developing Oracle Forms Applications (Aug 1996)
<li>Oracle Forms Developer's Handbook (Dec 2000)
</ul>
Probably more helpful would be some online tutorials. Again, some of these are a little old, but the concepts are still valid for Forms 10g and 11g.
Although a few of the following links are for older Forms versions, the concepts are still valid across all Forms versions.
<ul>
<li>A Tutorial on Oracle9i Forms and Reports
<li>Tutorial for Oracle10g Forms / Reports
<li>iSelfSchooling - Basic Introduction to Forms
<li>Oracle Forms 10g: Demos, Tips and Techniques
</ul>
Hope this helps,
Craig B-)
If someone's response is helpful or correct, please mark it accordingly.

Oracle Forms: Build Internet Applications correct configuration

I want to study for the Oracle Forms: Build Internet application exam (IZ0-141) is this exam specified by oracle versions? Forms for 9i looks a little different that forms for 10g. If it is for 9i the download for Oracle9i Application Server is no longer available, neither is the database version. I want the setup a practice lab for the exam and I want to make sure I am using the correct configuration and that the exam is not go to refer to items that is no longer available.
Thanks!

Thanks for reply yogesh.
Actually I am looking for some basic tutorial of Forms developer. I never use that before. I haven't found which tools/package I can use to create forms. where is OC4J located?
what can OTN help on the preparing of IZ0- 141 exam? I found a course on Oracle website for that, But its price is $4,000 CDN, which I can't afford. I really want a book related to the course.
Thanks,
Robert

Oracle Forms Builder - CLIENT_HOST

I have a visual basic script, which I want to call it from forms with client_host method.
But I need to pass a value and a value pick. Is this possible?, If not, what options I can have?.
I tried using CLIENT_OLE2, but I have trouble calling LibreOffice, making it an option ruled out.
Thanks.
Jose.

Thanks for your answer .
Currently I have a program made in Oracle forms builder with a data entry screen , this screen has some fields in validate -item call the spell checker in MS -Word . I need to change MS -Word for LibreOffice , but with CLIENT_OLE2 Seller WebUtil is not implemented to call LibreOffice .
One option I thought of that is through a visual basic script as a parameter to pass the word to be corrected and that the vbs me back the list of alternative words (that I see it very difficult for the subject to pass input and output parameters ) .
The other option you now I'm investigating is to make a java class (although I have not much knowledge in Java ) , import java class to the forms and make the call to the class method . As far as I arrived was to make a simple test for a method that adds two values and it has worked . Now I need to see what I call the LibreOffice spellchecker .
The application runs under Windows , the database is Oracle 10g and forms version is 10.1.2.0.2 .
Again, thank you very much for your answer.
Jose.
PD: I apologize for my English.

Connect Oracle Form Builder 10g to Oracle Database 10g Express

Hi,
I'm new to Oracle.
I've installed both form builder and database 10g express.
I tried to connect form builder to HR sample database in 10g express with the following:
user name: hr
password: hr
database: hr
but I received message: ora-12154: tns could not resolve the connect identifier specified.
Can anyone help me on that? Do I need to change the tnsnames.ora?
If yes, what should I need to change in order to connect to the HR sample?
Thank you.

Yes you need to have an entry in the tnsnames.ora file for you database service name or sid. The service name or sid is usually XE unless you changed it when you installed 10g express.

How to insert special character from Oracle form builder 10g

Dear all,
I need help. how to insert special character like 'Superscript or Subscript ' from oracle form builder 10g. I had try in Oracle form builder 6i with press ALT+ASCII code in the text item and it work, but in the oracle form builder 10g this method doesn't work... would you like to help me...somebody please...
Best Regard,
Dedy P.T.

What do you mean by insert ... from Forms Builder? Do you mean you want to add it as text in a string of pl/sql code or as part of boiler plate text (label) or a value on the Property Palette?
For special characters you would need set NLS_LANG to something that would support the characters you want to use. For the Builder to see the change, you would need to set NLS_LANG to something like:
NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8
This can be done in the Windows Registry or system. As I mentioned, this will only apply to the Builder and will have nothing to do with a running form. For running forms you would need to set this in default.env. As for things like super and sub scripts, these are font formats and not necessarily characters. For the most part, I don't believe these are supported in Forms.

Pls Help: View Crystal Report Via Oracle Form Builder

Hi!!
I want to know how to view the .rpt report (report made from Crystal Report) via Oracle Form Builder. I've to do it in my project. If you know, please tell me.
Thanks in advance,

I don't know how does crystal reports work, and I would guess you should ask the crystal guys to help you with this. find out if they have a command line interface that you can invoke from the host command in forms.
We can help you do it with Oracle Reports though :-)
