JHeadStart Forms 2 ADF Generation Process - Issues

Hi
I am trying to migrate my Forms to ADF using JHeadStart.
I have installed JDeveloper 11.1.1.2.0 and JHeadStart jhs11.1.1.2.37
It says Oracle JHeadStart 11.1.1.2.37 successfully installed !
I am trying to generate Business Components in the Model Project ..
I have chosen New (Under Buisness Tier) --> ADF Business Components
there is no option for JHeadStart Forms2ADF Generator as expected..
I could not see this JHeadStart Forms2ADF Generator wizard option anywhere else inside JDeveloper.
FYI, I am trying to follow Demo 2 mentioned in the below page ...

Noman,
I assume you are using the 10.1.3.3 version?
If you send an e-mail to [email protected], I will get you access to the latest JHeadstart 11 build which includes many improvements and other fixes in Forms2ADF. Note that you should use this build with JDeveloper 11.1.1.0.

App. generation process using JHeadstart!?

Hi! I want to know if I understand correctly the process of developing app. with JHeadstart (see, - http://my.jetscreenshot.com/2677/20111006-nnjj-66kb). Based on this diagram I had written the process below:
1. First of all, we create ADF BC using JDeveloper Wizard.
2. Then we Enable JHeadstart on the CV Project that creates App. Definition file.
3. Then we create JHeadstart Service Definition (ADF BC metadata file) FROM created BC.
4. Using this ADF metadata (Service Definition) in App. Definition Editor we GENERATE application that uses templates.
5. Generator using templates generates necessary files JSF, JSP; JSF+ADFc; ADF Model, Data Bindings, Data Controls.
Am I right, I described app. developing process in JHS tool correctly? If no, then say where I am wrong?
Hope for Your answers, best regards, Debuger.

Any example customer has migrated from Oralce Forms to ADF?

Any benchmark or how many customers have done the migration from Forms to ADF？
Btw, is all kind of Froms convertible by Froms2ADF tools ?
thanks for any suggestion.

Here is my view on this:
In general, people tend to underestimate the effort involved in migrating from Forms to ADF.
Migration tools like the JHeadstart Forms2ADF Generator can be of help, but are by no means a silver bullet.
When does JHeadstart save time
The amount of work that can be saved by using the JHeadstart Forms2ADF Generator (JFG) very much depends on the structure of the Oracle Forms application at hand. The JHeadstart Forms2ADF Generator provides most savings for forms that have the following characteristics:
- Standard-Forms data retrieval and data manipulation through blocks based on database tables, with master-detail relations defined between the block
- Complex user interface, many (stacked) canvasses, many tabs, many list of values, and other display types
- PL/SQL logic mostly limited to user interface dynamics: conditionally showing/hiding user interface items, and conditionally changing the properties of user interface items. While JHeadstart does not convert PL/SQL logic, this type of logic is easily implemented in the ADF application because JHeadstart provides many declarative property settings to implement this behavior.
PL.SQL Logic
JHeadstart has made the deliberate choice to not automatically convert the PL/SQL logic to Java. The reasons for this are:
- It is impossible to automate the migration of a two-tier architecture (logic in Forms or in the database) to a three tier Model-View-Controller architecture as is common in JEE web applications, including ADF-based applications.
- The architecture of the converted application should be identical to the best-practice architecture of an ADF application that is build from scratch. If the architecture is the same, the same skill set can be used to maintain both migrated applications and ADF applications build from scratch. In addition, by going for a best practice architecture, the application is more flexible, and can be maintained easier at lower cost.
- When using the JHeadstart Forms2ADF Generator, you get this best-practice ADF architecture that is identical to ADF/JHeadstart applications that are built from scratch.
Other Forms2ADF Considerations
Even if it turns out the JFG adds value, there are many other questions the customer should ask himself before embarking on a Foms2ADF project. For example:
- Apart from technical reasons like old Forms verisions no longer supported, are there real business reasons and business benefits for migrating that justify the migration effort?
- To what extent is the application still meeting functional requirements?
- Are there issues with stability and end user friendliness?
- Old forms applications are typical "window-on-data" screens, you see the structure of the datamodel through the layout of the screens. Modern web 2.0 composite applications are more task-oriented with good support for human workflow. The customer should consider to what extent it wants to leverage all these new user interfaces capabilities that come with ADF Faces and WebCenter.
- How does the application fits in the overall IT landscape of the customer? What interfaces to other systems exist, what (old/obsolete?) technology is used to implement those interfaces?
- What about batch functionality and reporting facilities?
- May be part of the functionality of the current system can be replaced with standard off-the-shelf software?
- How sound, well structured and future proof is the underlying datamodel?
- To what extent is the customer looking at service-orientated architectures? Whats the SOA maturity level of the customer?
- Above questions help to answer the key question: how desirable and beneficial is it to migrate an old monolitic forms application 1:1 to a monolitic ADF aplication? How does that fit in overall IT strategy?
- Organisational isues: who will migrate the system, who will maintain the system? Is outsourcing considered? etc.
Some customer experiences
Over the years I have been involved with a number of customers that migrated from Forms to ADF. With some of these customers we used the Forms2ADF Generator in the proof-of-concept phase to convince them of the combined power of ADF and JHeadstart. However, with NONE of these customers we used the Forms2ADF Generatpr during actual migration, for various reasons as listed above. All customers eventually chose to truly re-engineer the application while rebuilding in ADF achieving signifcant new business benefits that justified the investment. A choice recommended and encouraged by me, despite the fact I am the creator of the JFG. Note that ALL customers use JHeadstart heavily forbuilding the re-engineered ADF application, they just don't use the Forms2ADF generator, but the JHeadstart Application generator to create the ADF app from scratch.

Problems with custom search form in adf

Hi,
I am using JDeveloper 11.1.2.4. please can you help with this issue?
I've created a custom search form with the help from this link.
Jdeveloper,Oracle ADF &amp; Java: Implementing custom search form in ADF programmatically (Without using af:query)
I've created two bind variables SkuBind & ImperfectBind and a View Criteria.
My problem is when I press Search button, it does not filter based on values of the bind variables in the View Criteria.
I rightly get bind variable values in the System output though
Skubind = 1000
Imperfectbind = N
but there is no where clause
where clause = null
public void SearchOddShoes(ActionEvent actionEvent) {
AppModuleImpl am = (AppModuleImpl)resolvElDC("AppModuleDataControl");
ViewObject oddShoeVo = am.getRtnOddShoesVO1();
oddShoeVo.setNamedWhereClauseParam("SkuBind", skuPgBind.getValue());
oddShoeVo.setNamedWhereClauseParam("ImperfectBind", imperfectPgBind.getValue());
System.out.print("Named Skubind = " + oddShoeVo.getNamedWhereClauseParam("SkuBind") +"\n");
System.out.print("Named Imperfectbind = " + oddShoeVo.getNamedWhereClauseParam("ImperfectBind") +"\n");
System.out.print("where clause = " + oddShoeVo.getWhereClause()+"\n");
System.out.print("where clause params= " + oddShoeVo.getWhereClauseParams()+"\n");
System.out.print("Sql is " + oddShoeVo.getQuery()+"\n");
oddShoeVo.executeQuery();
public Object resolvElDC(String data) {
           FacesContext fc = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
           Application app = fc.getApplication();
           ExpressionFactory elFactory = app.getExpressionFactory();
           ELContext elContext = fc.getELContext();
           ValueExpression valueExp =
                   elFactory.createValueExpression(elContext, "#{data." + data + ".dataProvider}", Object.class);
           return valueExp.getValue(elContext);
thanks

Not clear what part of the code doesn't work. Assuming that you did check that the code you wrote executed
the problem may be the following.
You need to add partial trigger on the destination component.
Add ...
oddShoeVo.executeQuery();
AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addPartialTarget(HERE_THE_BIND_NAME_OF_YOUR_TABLE);
Also I don't see that you acctually use View Criteria. There are specific way to apply View Criteria programatically and I don't see that you use it.
The simpliest way is just to change the VO query to embed bind variables into the query
E.G.
select 1
from dual
where some_column= :P_PARAM1

Why did not Oracle change it's 10g forms to Adf forms ?

hi all ,
i am wondering , why oracle did not replace it's 10g forms to Adf forms , especially while i am hearing from everywhere that the Adf technology is a powerful technology ?
and the development process will be with Adf tech in the near future ?
thanks in advance

Hi Semsem;
i am wondering , why oracle did not replace it's 10g forms to Adf forms , especially while i am hearing from everywhere that the Adf technology is a powerful technology ? You should ask it to Steven Chan or oracle support.EBS has many compenetes which mean maybe ADF forms can not work wiht other components or maybe Oracle already made schedule to use ADF instead of 10g forms.
As i said ask it to oracle not us :)

Automating a report generation process

Hello guys!
I just took on a new role in a company which requires me to deal with SAP BEx Analyzer.
I'm completely new to this, but having gone through the report generation process, I feel the method I'm using is horribly tedious and I believe there should be a way to automate the process since it's a recurring monthly procedure.
What I have to do currently to get the report is:
1. Launch SAP Logon
2. Filter the Connection which i want to find (i'll call it "PQI").
3. Key in my Username, Password and Language
4. Select the third container in the folder (i'll call it "03")
5. After I open 03, it launches Excel with BEx Analyzer add in initialized. The report is currently empty
6. Select Change Variable Values, fill in Fiscal Year, Month and Accounting Area.
7. After which it will take like 15minutes to query, and a about 16,000 ++ rows are generated.
    Problem #1: The format isn't good, i have to right click on every cell that writes "Result" with yellow highlight and under it's properties I have to select         "Result Rows" > "Always Suppress". (Ref1.PNG)
     This is horribly painful considering I have to wait about 1 minute for each response (it's very slow). I have to repeat this for every yellow column in the
     report. Can this be automated or done in 1 step?
8. After doing so for all rows, I have to right click the table and select "Query Properties" and shift all the Free Characteristics (about 10) to "Rows".
     BUT, I can't do all at once, it will say "out of memory" and crash. I have to do so 2-3 rows at a time. Each time it'll take about 10-15 minutes to
     populate. It's very painful.
9. After it's all done, i have to repeat step 7 again, which is to Suppress all result rows (Ref2.PNG)
10.Followed by which I have to go to Query Properties > Display Options > Uncheck "supress repeated key values"
11. When that is done I have to generate a PivotTable on the data.
I have to repeat the same steps on a monthly basis.
Is there a way I can script it to run the process for me monthly? Or any other way to make it less tedious?
Thanks so much for any input or suggestion guys!
Warmest Regards
Brandon

Suppressing Result Rows can be done in Query designer itself for one time. You need not to do after you get the report every time.
If you always expect some 10 free chars constantly, i suggest you to insert them in Rows pane in Query designer but not in Analyzer. So that your report layout will be taking care with all settings what you want to do after the report generates in Excel. I mean you will get desired layout when you run the report first time itself.
Suppress repeated key values also can be done in Query designer itself one time.
By doing above, your report execution will not be tedious and it will be minimizing your efforts.
Over all, What I have understood is, you are doing all sorts of settings in Analyzer after getting such huge volume of data, by which it gives you crash error.
With all above steps, you can run your report with all pre-defined settings.

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).

How to display a mssg on page before the adf lifecycle process has ended?

Hi;
We have an ADF Application(11.1.1.3). We sign a document with a mobile signature. To do this we use a webservice call. During this call a hash is generated for the user to check and sign the document. Everything is fine but we couldn't find a way to display the generated hash on the page before the adf lifecycle process has finished. The hash should be displayed on the screen while the rest of the method is proceeding. After 2 minutes, the hash is timed out. How can we do this?
The method is as follows:
public boolean docFirstSign(String telNo, int gsmOperator, String evrakNo) {
String filePathToSign = null;
boolean signOpResult = false;
FileProcessor fileP = new FileProcessor();
try {
filePathToSign = fileP.getFilePathToSign(evrakNo);
byte[] imzalanacakVeri = MobilImza.getBytesFromFile(filePathToSign);
String dataToBeDisplayed = "Size atanmis ve evrak uygulamasi uzerinden goruntulediginiz "+ evrakNo +" numarali evraki mobil olarak imzalayacaksiniz!";
MSS_SenderSoapProxy proxy = new MSS_SenderSoapProxy();
HashResult res = proxy.getHashForGsmOperator(imzalanacakVeri, telNo, 1);
Here the hash is generated. This should be displayed on the page, as at the same time a mobile message is sent to the user to check it and sign it. And the method shoud go on processing.
Logging.getLogger().info("Message -->"+res.getMessage());
//Hash kontrol
if (res.getResultCode()==0) {
SignatureResult sres = proxy.getSignature(dataToBeDisplayed,res.getApTransId()); //Turkce karakter olmayacak
Logging.getLogger().info("sres.getResultCode()-->"+sres.getResultCode());
if (sres.getResultCode()==0) {
byte[] imzaliData = MobilImza.base64Decode(sres.getSignedData());
System.out.println(sres.getMessage());
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(new File(filePathToSign));
fos.write(imzaliData);
fos.close();
signOpResult = fileP.docCheckin(evrakNo);
} else {
fileP.cancelCheckout(evrakNo);
} else {
Logging.getLogger().error("Hash Hesaplanamadi");
fileP.cancelCheckout(evrakNo);
return signOpResult;
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
fileP.cancelCheckout(evrakNo);
return signOpResult;
return signOpResult;
}

Hi,
its a synchronous method execution which means that the display of a popup only works when there is a response to the initial request. What about - as soon as you generated the Hash - show a popup to the user asking him/her to take a note of the hash and then confirm that the document or whatever you want to sign and send to the mobile should be processed. So when the user clicks ok on the message dialog you continue with the remaining of your method

How to format a form with adf

Hi,
I want to format an adf form like this :
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/33421977/adf_form.PNG
To do this I have used af:panelDashboard and af:panelBox with af:panelFormLayout inside.
Now I don't want to use panelBox anymore, but I don't know how to achieve this without panelDashboard/panelBox.
What is th best aproach to do this? Can you send me some links which explain how to format a form with adf?
Thanks.

Is just a question of style. In the real application this form is included in another panelBox. So it looks too... I don't know how to say it... too heavy?
In fact I don't want to see these panelBoxe's borders. Maybe I have just to change the style of these boxes? Do you know if it is possible?
But more generally, what is the right way to format adf forms? Can I achieve this sort of formatting just using panelFormLayout?

Alert generation process for failed explorer infospaces
