Issue in Migrating from forms 6i to 10g

Hi,
I have a instance of Oracle Ebs R12.1.1. Now I want to migrate a custom standalone application developed in forms 6i. I am able to upgrade the 6i forms with the help of Oracle Form Migration Assistant but the issue is that the converted forms are not taking the look n feel of forms 10g in R12.1.1. More over after opening this form if I open a seeded for the look n feel is totaly distorted. I have to then logoff and login. \
Plz let me know how to change the look n feel of a totaly standalone custom form in 6i to 10g look n feel of 12.1.1 forms.
Thanks and Regards

Hi,
Do you have any 11i instance where those custom forms are used? If yes, you will have to copy those forms from 11i to R12 instance, open the forms using Forms 10g builder, compile it and upload it back to the server.

Hotkey (Ctrl+B) is not working after migration from Forms 6i to 10g

Dear Gurus,
Need your help regarding the following problem:
After migrating from Forms 6i to 10g (Rel 2), Ctrl+B (used to list the blocks in a form) hotkey is not working anymore (all other hotkeys are working fine). I've checked my FMRWEB.RES and it contains an entry for Ctrl+B:
66 : 2 : "Ctrl+B" : 70 : "Block Menu"
Additional Information:
OS: AIX
NLS_LANG = UTF8
fmrweb_utf8.res also contains the same text for Ctrl+B as above.
I tried to reproduce it on my Windows Machine (with NLS_LANG set to AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1) and its not working as well. I don't have right to put move files on AIX server but i can try anything (on my local system) suggested by the Oracle gurus.
Best Regards,

Dear Gerd,
"are you sure, that it is the hotkey"
Yes, i am dead sure. Since:
(1) It was working fine in forms 6i
(2) If you run a form and select Help => Keys, you will see Ctrl+B on the top of list
The problem is its not taking into account the keys which i am defining in the file (although i am following the same procedure detailed on metalink.oracle.com).

MIgration from forms 6i to 10g - Webutil migration also required?

Do we need to migrate webutil.pll and webutil.olb files as well during migration?

Best regards,
I have a tool to migrate from Forms & Reports Ordem call, which allows the automatic migration of Oracle Forms Developer written in versions 3.0, 4.5, 5.0, 6i or 9i to the latest version Oracle Forms Developer 10g to 10g or JAVA .
If you require more information from our tool I can send information to e [email protected] and gladly put myself in communication with you and review the issue in detail.

Display graphs in 10g on migration from forms 6i

Hello,
plesase can u tell me how will u display forms in 10g on migration from forms 6i?
mamata

The HOST command in Forms can only call procedures on the client that runs Forms (assuming you run Forms in client/server mode, this is the user's PC).
If you want to run a procedure on the database host, you have to call this procedure from the database, not from Forms.
In 8i the easiest way is to do this via a Java stored procedure:

Migrating from MSSQL2005 to OracleExpress 10g - stored proc problems

I'm trying to migrate from MSSQLExpress2005 to OracleExpress 10g.
I upgraded my SQLDeveloper 1.1.3 to SQLDeveloper 1.2 from Check Updates (Even it still displays 1.1.3 at Help->About, I assume it was upgraded because version of extensions changed to 10.2.0.29.98)
First I have renaming of my objects problem :
Why does SQLDeveloper renames my stored procedures? I dont see any reason to change.Some of about 50 occurrences :
1-"spCPLN_Alloc_ReSortForMultiAttendance" to "spCPLN_lloc_ReSortForMultitten"
2-"spCPLN_Alloc_CalculateFixedConstraints" to "spCPLN_lloc_CalculateFixedCons"
3-"spCPLN_Alloc_GetAllocationResult" to "spCPLN_lloc_GetllocationResult"
Another problem : What is the problem of this T/SQL scode snippet?I cant convert it with Scratch editor too. I got "Unexpected end of subtree : Line 0 Col 0." error
CREATE PROCEDURE spCPLN_XML_InsertDers
@CourseID int,
@Type1 int

END
I have more than 15 error like this.
thank you

Hi Tuna ,
Thanks for the feedback.
Stored procedure names are collision managed so that they are not longer than 30 characters in length. This is a limitation of Oracles object naming convention.
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14261/fundamentals.htm#sthref309
WRT the procedure.
There is a issue in the T-SQL translator which I have logged a bug for.
bug 6127111 NOT EXITS SUB EXPRESSION NOT RECOGNIZED
It looks like the translator cannot recognize the
IF(( NOT EXISTS
and is expecting IF NOT EXISTS.
As a workaround the following manually modified T-SQL translates
T-SQL
CREATE PROCEDURE spCPLN_XML_InsertDers
@CourseID int,
@Type1 int

BEGIN
IF NOT EXISTS(
SELECT * FROM DersKur
WHERE CourseID = @CourseID) AND ( @Type1 = 2 )

JMS issues when migration from weblogic 9.2 to 10.3.5

We are facing some issues when migration from weblogic 9.2 to 10.3.5
In weblogic 9.2 :_
BMP Entity EJBs used in our project are read-only in nature using entity cache, below is the configuration details
<!DOCTYPE weblogic-ejb-jar PUBLIC "-//BEA Systems, Inc.//DTD WebLogic 6.0.0 EJB//EN" "http://www.bea.com/servers/wls600/dtd/weblogic-ejb-jar.dtd">

Entity beans will get refreshed using the JMS messges. with in the MDB descriptor files(weblogic-ejb-jar.xml) we are using the provider URL directly and XA enabled connection factory is set to false.
migration to Weblogic 10.3.5_
With the same configurations MDB are not not getting deployed in weblogic 10 with some exception, so we removed the provider URL from weblogic-ejb-jar.xml and changed the JMS configuration to use foreign JMS and XA enable connection factory is set to true. Now when ever the JMS message is triggered Entity bean is not getting refreshed with the updated values. i.e values are stale.
Can some one look into this and provide your inputs to resolve this issue.

I think the Entity bean refresh problem appears to be unrelated to MDBs. The MDB is only responsible for getting the message to your application (which in turn interacts with Entity beans). You might want to try posting your question to an EJB newsgroup.

Run a report in Forms 9i after migration from Forms 6i

Hi,
I face the following problem:
We do have to migrate from Forms 6i to 9i. In our "old" application, reports where called by using RUN_PRODUCT (in different forms and menues). But to start a report in 9i environment, RUN_REPORT_OBJECT must be used. Does the report has to be an object in the calling form or is it possble to start it as we used to directly from the file system ?
Regards,
Markus

hi
you need to create a report object in the object navigator.
and follow these
     declare
repid REPORT_OBJECT;
v_rep VARCHAR2(100);
rep_status VARCHAR2(20);
pl_id paramlist;
d date;

               PL_ID:=CREATE_PARAMETER_LIST('P1');
          end if;
          select to_char(max(start_date),'dd-mon-yyyy') into d from work_schedule_detail;

Migrate from forms 3.0 to forms 7.0

I want to know ho to go about for migrating from forms 3.0
to forms 7.0?
Also I want to know what does the object type

thanks in advance.
Regards,

FIrst thing, there is no Forms 7 - the next release of Forms aftre 6i will be Oracle9i Forms.
Anyway to migrate a Form I would suggest looking at the OTN papers as we have a note on migrating Forms 3 -> Forms 6.
otn.oracle.com/products/forms
You will have to do this before you migrate to Oracle 9i Forms.

What are the Issues in Migration from oracle 8i to oracle 10g

Hi,
Can you let me know what are the issues that i face when i migrate from oracle 8i to oracle 10g. I will be very thankful if you give me a list of issues that you face while migrating from 8i to 10g

In addition to Max's reply, you must be aware that you have to test your applications agains 10g database before you actually upgrade the database.
If you use CBO, it may produce different execution plans for one query when you run it in 8i and 10g. This may affect your application performances, which you don't like to happen.
Also you have to decide how much downtime you can afford during the migration. Can you afford some downtime and how much? If you can't than this makes the situation more complicated.
How big is your database? You may end up only with simple export/import solution using export import utility.
The bottom line is, whatever you decide, you must test your applications running against 10g database before you actually upgrade your database.

Forms Migration from 4.5 to 10g

Hi ,
I want to migrate my forms from 4.5 to 10g so i did following steps:
1. Installed Developer suite 10g
2. Took a sample form developed in 4.5 and comiled it in 10g builder utilized the
sample.fmx file for 10g the test was successful ,
I need to migrate a complete application developed in 4.5 forms to 10g and I have
some existing libraries which I use in my forms , now i'm stuck how to utilize them for
10g as whenever I open the forms in 10g builder it asks me to remove the library.
Can please anyone inform me how to utilze the my own user built libraries and esp .
how to repalce D2KWUTIL with WebUtil and is the way i'm approaching for migartion
correct ?
Thanks.
Jonty.

Hi ,
Thanks for the reply ,
but still i'm not clear how to utilize my libraries as even if i migate to Forms 6i
which in turn also supports D2KWUTIL ,so how to utilize Webutil instead of
D2WUTIL while migrating from 6i to 10g.
Is there any document or paper in suport to it.
Thanks.

Migration from Forms 9i to forms 10g (10.1.2)

I am planning for migration activites from Forms 9i and Reports 9i to Oracle 10g Forms and Reports ( Rel 2 i.e. 10.1.2).
What are new or removed from 10g forms and repots which was there in Forms 9i ?
Is there any difference between these two versions ? If No then why there are two diff versions in 10g Forms itself (9.0.4 and 10.1.2)
Which version of JInitiator I have to use for forms 10g ?

The versioning scheme is confusing I agree. 9.0.4 and 10.1.2 are the real versions. 10g versions are marketing driven versions.
10.1.2 is a major revision which means that you have to recompile your forms (if made in earlier versions of Forms) to make them run. 10.1.2 is built on a new version of the required support files (PLSQL for example).
You can use any supported version of Jinitiator that you like.

What is the best way to migrate from Forms to ADF?

We are in a big quagmire. Our company has been into Oracle Forms development for over 15 years. We have applications developed in Forms 6i and 10g. We have about 5 products and these 5 products have about 25 to 30 different versions. i.e. we maintain about 30 different versions of our applications. Each version of the application has about 100 forms and 100 reports.
Now, since Forms has come to the End of life from 11g we want to move to ADF. We tried Forms to ADF migration tools but failed. So now we have decided to manually rewrite the applications in ADF.
Our Forms / PL/SQL developers, designers and analysts (total about 40) are all Oracle Forms people. They have no experience in Java.
What I want to know is:
(1.) What is the BEST way to achieve this?
(2.) Do we have to learn Java, JSF and ADF?? (i.e. All 3)?
(3.) Is it mandatory to learn JSF??
(4.) Assuming, comprehensive training can be given, how long will it take for Forms people to learn ADF?
(5.) What type of training will be required?? (Java, JSF, ADF, JDeveloper etc.)
(6.) How LONG will this take? i.e. to train all 40 and then get rewrite an application of 100+ forms and 100+ reports? (Ballpark is OK).
(7.) Any other technologies we should learn??
Edited by: user12240205 on Jul 18, 2012 5:48 AM

Obvoiusly the longer you have for training the better but I think the minimum would be
1) Java skills - I think to start off, 1 or two days reading something like Head First Java http://www.amazon.com/Head-First-Java-Kathy-Sierra/dp/0596009208
2) I'd then get "The Quick Start Guide to Fusion Development" http://www.amazon.com/Quick-Start-Oracle-Fusion-Development/dp/0071744282/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1343201618&sr=1-1&keywords=jdeveloper+quick (declaration: I'm the author so have a vested interest, but I still think its a good place to start. - this should be about 2-3 days to read and also to try things out.
3) In parallel I'd be watching these ADF Insider Basics http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/learnmore/adfinsider-093342.html#a1 - a couple of hours
4) I'd then try this tutorial http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/jdev/obe11jdev/ps1/ria_application/developriaapplication_long.htm - 3 hours.
5) Optionally, if you are coming from a Forms background I would also read http://download.oracle.com/otn_hosted_doc/jdeveloper/11gdemos/SummitADF/SummitADF_Redevelopment.pdf and watch http://download.oracle.com/otn_hosted_doc/jdeveloper/11gdemos/Forms_Redevelopment_ADF/Forms_Redevelopment_ADF.html - which is about 2 hours of work.
I think this would be the absolute MINIMUM to at least be able to build some basic applications and to start feeling your way - everything else outlined in the "ADF COLLATERAL TOUR" http://download.oracle.com/otn_hosted_doc/jdeveloper/11gdemos/ADFTour/ADFTour.html could be learned as you start building some proof of concept. However, I'd wouldn't suggest you try building a real application with only one weeks exposure (in the same way I wouldn't expect you to design a product database with only one week training). I would probably expect your developers to have at least the above training and then spend about a month or so (minimum) building proof of concepts (or testing themselves with the ADF Insider Essentials Tasks). Furthermore, I'd probably expect you to have at least on senior developer/architect, with much more experience who can be making decisions on things like reuse, partitioning, architecture etc.
Of course, this is all subjective but I hope it helps.
regards
Grant
ps
Of course, we also have formal Oracle University Training courses which you could attend (or they can be purchased to watch on line).
