Migrate Forms 10g stand alone to SSO usage

Hello,
Currently we have a Forms stand-alone 10g instance on linux. Due to new business needs we have to use SSO for all provided applications.
What are the options in our situation.
Best regards,
Bert Dondertman
Netherlands

Bert,
the option is to install Forms using the full Application Server and copy your application files - or configure if it is the same server. The reason why you can't enable Forms for SSO in a post-instll operation is that the Forms Servlet must register with OID to use a privileged secure access.

Migration Forms 10g to 64bits what is the impact?

Hi ,
I have a system with:
Windows 2008 32 bits
Oracle 11gR2
Forms 10g
I need to migrate to windows 2008 64bits, my question what is the impact on FORMS ? I need just to recompile every thing or I have to reinstall? There is a risuqe for my librarys?
Regards,

Don't you need to more or less wipe the OS in the move to 64 bit, so you need to install OAS and Forms/Reports from scratch again, then recompile all of the forms/lib/menus etc.
From what you have given us, this seems to be what I see you need to do.

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 .

PI 7.0 Java stack config of the stand-alone server to new cluster system

Hi colleagues,
we have a PI installation in stand alone server (SAP with abap +
java and Oracle in the same server)
The system number of the ABAP stack is 00, and we are conecting to the
Java stack to the for example the URL
http://hostname:50000/rep/start/index.jsp
We have installed a new PI in a MSCS and in some weeks, we´ll have to
copy the database and configuration of the stand-alone server to the
new cluster system. In the SAP PI installation on the MSCS, we have
confirmed that with the ABAP stack, we won´t have any issue because the
ASCS has the system number 00 (message server), so we only have to
install a SAP system in each nodes without care these new system
numbers because we are configuring a Logon group but the question is in
the Java stack... The SCS (service in the cluster) has the 01 system
number...
What is the best way to keep the same URL to the Java stack that in the
stand-alone server? (remember:
http://hostname:50000/rep/start/index.jsp )
Have we to install a Webdispatcher in the MSCS and one Java stack in
each node of the cluster? we think that is right but we have a lot of
doubts about the URL, the files of the Java (if they are stored in
local disk in one node, how are they replicated to the second node?)
and so on....
Could you give us any suggestion to make the "migration" from the stand-alone to a cluster in a transparent way for the users?
Thanks in advanced and kind regards !!
Victor

Thanks a lot.
For information
Our central SLD is on a standalone system
However slave SLD (to ensure autonomy and HA for production XI system) will be deployed on Java separated hardware system of Xi production system.
On master SLD all systems are described and all machine are linked with it (SLDAPICUST) except production XI one
On slave SLD, all data of master one are replicated and only XI system is linked with (SLDAPICUST)

Migration to Forms 10G - modify ORA_FFI package usage?

Hello all.
I have been working on the migration of an application from Forms 4.5 to Forms 10G. In the 4.5 version the application interacts with a third party tool installed on the same "Windows" machine where the forms code is placed. The application uses the ORA_FFI package to do this.
On our target version uses Oracle 10G AS on "IBM AIX" machine. Can we install the third party tool on the IBM Machine and continue using ORA_FFI package? What are the additional factors that we need to consider and what changes if any are reqiured in the forms code?
Thanks in advance
Regards
Kranthi

You first have to instantiate your class:
DECLARE
obj ORA_JAVA.JOBJECT;
BEGIN
obj:=CLASSFORMS.new;
MESSAGE(CLASSFORMS.SALUDO(obj));
MESSAGE(' ');
END;

Forms Migration to 10g

Hi
We have an urgent following requirement in which we need your expert help,
Need to migrate some of our Forms 6.0 Character Based Forms to Forms 10g.
Does any body know how to achieve this.
Any help on the above will be highly appreciated.
Regards
Jeet

Hi,
We've just completed a migration of 740 character based 6i forms to web-based 10g.
Let me start by saying that it is not necessarily as easy as some posters are suggesting.
Yes, the standard upgrade will result in a "working" form, but the likelihood is that your upgraded form will not look very good, and will have many features that are undesirable.
Here are just a few things to look out for:
Fonts:- on character mode the font is fixed with, on the web you will need to change to a proportional font if you want your form to look good.
Field Bevel:- on character mode the field has no bevel, again to look good on the web, the fields need a bevel, this will eat into the size of the field and small fields especially will need to be widened - if you have a lot of very busy forms then this is no easy task as all canvases will need to be checked to ensure they look ok.
Mouse usage:- on character mode you will have no mouse, to replicate the same effect on the web then you will have to limit mouse navigation to 'item' at the form level for every form. If you don't do this then users will be able to move between fields with the mouse and bypass any logic that you have in key navigation triggers - which is probably a lot. If you want to enable mouse usage then you will have to re-design each form extensively to get things right.
Host exits:- on character mode any host exits will run under the account of the user that is logged in, on the web they will run under the account that Application Server is installed under - you need to be aware of the implications there.
There are many other considerations that we had that were specific to our installation such as printing etc.
We decided to take the approach of automating some tasks by writing scripts to update a lot of forms to do things like making sure all fields had the same look and feel, and to put a calendar pop-up on all date fields etc. You can do this using the Forms CAPI or JDAPI if you've got good Java or C skills. We didn't so we used the FormsMaster tool from ORCLToolbox, which uses it's own script language which is more like Pascal or PL/SQL - it's a great tool.
Anyway hope this helps, if you've got a lot of forms good luck, it took us about 6 months in all.

Migrating stand alone programs to web based application

Hi,
I have a small application consisting of .class files. I created these using Swing components and it's based on Client/ server model where it accesses Oracle Database.
I want to deploy these programs in Java App Server so that it can be accessed thru web browser.
Please tell me how to do it.
Thanks in advance.

If this was the thing, Sun, Microsoft and IBM
wouldn't have even giving a thought of migrating
legacy application (I'm talking about Mainframes and
AS/400 here). If this kind of migration is possible,
can't we migrate a java code from stand-alone
"version" to web enabled.
Migration is not really a term to use to for converting a stand alone application to a web application. Unless of course again you are prepared to turn it into an applet.
The flow and control of a web application are entirely different from a stand alone app. You will not be able to reuse Swing GUI's from a web server. I don't know how to make that any clearer.
Hopefully you have a good design for your existing application and you can relatively easily reuse your existing business logic components.

Oracle reports 6i to Oracle forms 10g migration

Hi,
I have .rdf files which were created on Oracle Reports 6i. I would like to migrate the .rdf files into Oracle Reports module which is present as a part of Oracle Forms 10g to generate PDF output.
Please let me know the detailed steps to be followed as I am a total newbie. Also I need to generate these reports on demand from a java 5 application (JSF 2.0).
Currently for ORacle reports 6i, I have the following code in my java application
rwrun60.exe g:\tomcat33\webapps\reports\web-inf\src\null userid=***/*** destype=FILE desformat="pdf" paramform=NO printjob=NO batch=YES desname=temp.pdf
1. What would be the equivalent for reports in ORacle Forms 10g ? I know there is an Oracle Apps server where ther report services reside. How to I invoke my report from my java application (residing on a weblogic server 10.3.6)?
2. What ould I do with the 6i .rdf files to upgrade them to 10g ?

I am trying to call an Oracle report i.e .rdf (which is located on the Oracle App Server) from my java EE 5 (JSF) application. The Oracle App server is Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2. I assume Oracle report generation capability is available in this release. I need to invoke the report from my Java JSF application on demand (whenever the user clicks a button on the web browser page, the report should appear on the browser as PDF) . My java application resides on Linux weblogic server.
Please let me know how it can be done ? I see rwclient.sh and another method to directly invoke using a URL. How do I do it on java, would a request.redirect() to the URL work ?
Also for hiding the params in the URL. keys need to be configured on the Oracle server right ?
Also if we use rwclient.sh or the URL based invocation, would there be any issue in concurrency when multiple users request the same report at the same time ?

Migrating forms from 6i to forms 10g

Hi all,
We plan to migrate the current forms 6i to forms 10g. Can you please suggest/advise the advantages of forms 10g to that of forms 6i.
thanks in advance
Chettarjee

Hi
the one main big advantage is that you will have Oracle support in 10g. 6i is not supported any more. Other benefits are 10g is more open to Java . You can call out to Web service and java apis. REfer to the forms otn page for more 10g features.

How to replace the forms6i menu parameter in forms 10g after migration

Hai,
We have forms6i application and we are going to migrate forms6i into forms 10g .The forms 6i have the menu userdefine parameter.But forms 10g don't have the option. so please send me the suggesstion what we can do .Is there any alternative way.How to bring the same funtionality in forms 10g after the migration.pls reply me
THANKS

We had the same problem - you could develop a new form just to accept the necessary user input, but that might be overkill. We used Forms Editors, displaying them with an appropriate startup text e.g. 'Parameter1='. The user then types in the parameter, then we check the new Editor text and pull out the info we need.

How to Migrate Oracle Forms 4.5 to Forms 10g

Hi All,
I want to know abt migration steps i.e. i 'm doing migration of Oracle Forms 4.5 to Oracle Forms 10g. Then existing forms is on Windows xx and the database is Oracle 8.
What is the better way to approach this issue? Whether, directly open the existing Forms into Oracle Forms 10g or first open the form into Forms 6i and then after 10g?
Tell me the System Specification.... Database version.... Which Application Server is suitable.... And whether the Oracle 9i database possible for Forms 10g or not.
Pls Give me solution.

Forms 4.5 Migration to Oracle Forms 10g

Whether, directly open the existing Forms into Oracle
Forms 10g or first open the form into Forms 6i and
then after 10g?As Grant said:
4.5 to 10g (strictly speaking is not supported) but should work ok - Generally speaking you just open your Forms in the 10g builder and compile. You should check out otn.oracle.com/formsupgrade which gives you some good pointers including the Forms built-in procedures that have be desupported and removed from the product.
4.5 -> 6i -> 10g was the supported route (but even 6i is desupported now).
