Migrate ACCESS form to Forms 6i

Is ist possible, to migrate MS Access forms based on ORACLE TABLES (via ODBC) to a ORACLE forms 6i application???
THANKS for help

Most of the stuff will be imported without problemsWhat about the other stuff...????
Surely , the form built-in procedures/functions which do not exist in 6i will cause the biggest problem.....
Also , some others .. such as get_application_property in v.10g have more parameters than of v.6i....(for example sso_userid,e.t.c.).... and other built-in procedures/functions , as well.....
So , i would say that the result may not be so...reliable...!!!!!!!

Simon

Using Access forms after migrating data to Oracle

Hi,
One of the features provided by the original Migration Workbench appears to be the ability to modify a migrated Access database to use an ODBC connection to Oracle so that the original forms could still be used. I have just been through the process of migrating the demo Northwind database into Oracle using the SQL Developer Migration Workbench but this doesn't appear to be an option.
I am missing something or is this feature not available using the migration tools in SQL Developer?
And if it is missing what would be the easiest way to achieve this? From my limited exposure to Access converting the Northwind application manually appears to be rather painful.
Many thanks,
Vince

Hi Vince,
As you have correctly stated, the option to modify an MS Access database for the purpose of using the original forms is not available in Oracle SQL Developer Migration Workbench. As this option is no longer available, the easiest way to achieve the same result is to manually update your MDB file to reference the migrated Oracle tables. Once your MS Access Forms are referencing the link tables, you can continue using the forms as before. I would suggest doing the following:
NOTE: These steps should only be carried out after you have migrated your tables from Access to Oracle using Oracle SQL Developer Migration Workbench. I would also recommend that you take a back-up of your MDB file before carrying out the following steps...just to be on the safe side!
1. Create a new System DSM (using the ODBC Data Source Administrator dialog, via the Control Panel > Administrative Tools on your OS), using the connection details to access the newly migrated Oracle database schema. Test the connection, to ensure it's working correctly.
2. Open your MDB file in database view - double-click the MDB file, holding down the Shift key.
3. Remove the original Access tables.
4. Using the Insert > Table menu item in MS Access, start the New Table wizard and create Link Tables to each of the migrated tables in your Oracle schema. NOTE: Rename the Link Table(s) so it matches the original Access table name. This will save you from having to edit each of the Forms, to change the Record Source it's based on. The form will still have a reference to the original table name, so by reusing the same name your form should just continue working as before. The only difference is that the data is being retrieved from the Oracle database now!
If you have any questions regarding any of the above information, just respond to this thread & I'll get back to you.
I hope this helps.

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).

How to find users machine / IP who is accessing forms through Oracle AS

Dear Gurus
We need to know the users machine / IP who are accessing forms through Oracle 9i Application Server, how can we find that?
thanks in advance
regards
Mehmood

Mehmood,
Set serverURL=/forms90/f90servlet/session in the Forms Web configuration default section or add it to the URL to start tracing host name and ip-addresses from clients. The output appears in the servlet log file application.log. sessionperf , perf and debug are the other options instead of session.

How can LabVIEW press a command button in access form?

Situation: access database with a command button, who generate a code after pushing
Task: LabVIEW open the access database, pressed the command button and read out the code
Status:
use activeX to open the access database - ready
press the command button - open
read out the code - open
Problem: Is there a possibility that LabVIEW press automatically the command button in the access form?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

First off, you are confusing your terms. Access is not a database. It's an development environment for creating applications that use databases. By default, Access uses a DBMS called Jet that is built into Windows, but it can use others like SQL Server or even Oracle.
Second, in terms of pushing the button, that is totally dependent upon what functionality Access' ActiveX interface chooses to expose to external applications.
Third, what does the button actually do? The statement, "..generate a code.." is meaningless. Does it perform a query? Does it generate a report? Does it modify records?

Migrating Oracle forms to APEX 3.2 without using Forms2XML tool

Can we migrate Oracle forms to APEX 3.2 without using Forms2XML tool?

Hi Anoo,
In order to convert Oracle Forms to Oracle Application Express, using the Forms Conversion utility in Oracle APEX 3.2, you are required to convert your Forms Module (FMB) files to XML format, using the Oracle Forms to XML conversion tool, Forms2XML. I would recommend that you review Chapter 4 [Converting an Oracle Forms Application|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14373_01/migrate.32/e13368/appmgr_forms.htm] , in the Oracle Application Express Migration Guide Release 3.2
If you have any further questions relating to the Oracle Forms to Oracle Application Express conversions, I would recommend that you refer to the [Application Express|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/forum.jspa?forumID=137] forum.
I hope this helps.

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;
     BEGIN
          /* for passing parameters
          PL_ID:=GET_PARAMETER_LIST('P1');
          IF(ID_NULL(PL_ID)) THEN
               PL_ID:=CREATE_PARAMETER_LIST('P1');
          ELSE
               DESTROY_PARAMETER_LIST('p1');
               PL_ID:=CREATE_PARAMETER_LIST('P1');
          end if;
          select to_char(max(start_date),'dd-mon-yyyy') into d from work_schedule_detail;
     add_parameter(pl_id,'MACHINE',text_parameter,'C');
--     add_parameter(pl_id,'S245',text_parameter,'HI FROM FORM');
repid := find_report_object(:report_list);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE,BATCH);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_COMM_MODE,SYNCHRONOUS);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_DESTYPE,cache);
     SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_DESFORMAT,'htmlcss');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_SERVER,'rep_devserver');
--SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_OTHER,'paramform=yes');
use only if u r using reports parameter form
need some coding in reports before parameter form trigger
IF(:report_list NOT IN ('monthly_exp')) THEN
--     SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_OTHER,'MACHINE=C');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_OTHER,
'paramform=yes P_USER_CONNECT=PAYROLL/PAYROLL@PINNACLE
P_SERVER_NAME=rep_devserver P_ACTION=http://devserver:7778/reports/rwservlet?');
          v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid);
else
for reports with out any parameters
v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid);
end if;
rep_status := REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS(v_rep);
WHILE rep_status in ('RUNNING','OPENING_REPORT','ENQUEUED')
LOOP
rep_status := report_object_status(v_rep);
END LOOP;
IF rep_status = 'FINISHED' THEN
/*Display report in the browser*/
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('http://devserver:7778/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||

MS Access form bound to an Oracle OraDynaset?

Hello,
I need to write an MSAccess 2007 application as a front-end to an Oracle 11g database.
Is it possible to bind a MS Access form to an Oracle OraDynaset?

Hi,
Unless, you are writing dynamic queries, you might want to
define your outerj SQL in MS Access and then issue a simple
SELECT in Reports against the outerj MS Access query (to MS
Access this query is just another pseudo table).

How to Migrate Oracle Forms 10g 9.0.4 to 10.1.2

Hi I would like to find information on what is necessary to do in order to migrate Forms 10g 9.0.4 to 10.1.2.
Do I need to use Oracle Migration assistant ?
Is it enough only compile forms ?
Where I find documentation on how to execute this migration. I am only find documentatio to migrate from 6i to 10g, but I need documentation to migrate from Forms 10g 9.0.4 to 10.1.2.

Hi,
Thank you for the answer about Oracle forms.
Now I would like ask another question but this time for Oracle Application Server. As we have Oracle forms 10g 9.0.4 we also use the Application Server with this same version.
Do you have any recommendations on how to Migrate the Oracle Application Server from 10g 9.0.4 to 10.1.2 ?
Thank you .

Create input gridview in Access Form

Hi,
I want to create a gridview same as AB.net or C#.net windows forms application. Some cells of the grid view will contain listbox and some will contain textbox. The user will enter data in the grid view. Then after clicking on submit button the data will
be inserted/updated in the table.. I have done this type of coding in vb.net or C#.net... But I have no idea how to do it in Access Forms application... I am using Access 2013. Please help me.

Do you want a real GridView, like in .NET, or an MS Access Form, to enter your data?
If you want to use the former, see this.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YEz85gFj2s
If you want to use the latter, do what Tom suggested.
Knowledge is the only thing that I can give you, and still retain, and we are both better off for it.
