You will need to upgrade both your forms and youtr database.
There is a defined path for the migration of the forms 3 -> 4 -> 6i -> 10g
You'll find the doc all at the otn site: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/index.html

Migrating Forms 61 to 10g - Forms Builder Crashing

We are migrating from Forms 6i to 10g. The application works on a HP-UX box, and since we do not have the necessary setup done in the Unix box yet, we are trying to compile the forms in Windows before-hand to see if we can pre-empt some errors.
I have written a batch command to compile the 6i forms in windows (Windows XP) by invoking the 10g Forms Builder.
While it works like a charm for most of the forms (we have around 500 forms), there are a few forms for which the compiler/builder simply crashes. The .err file created for this form has absolutely nothing, it is a 0KB file.
When I try opening such forms in Forms Dev 10g, and then compile them, the Dev crashes. It gives no indication of the error.
By crashing I mean that windows throws the error message saying "Application has to be closed. Send error report: yes/no"
Can someone please tell me if you faced such a problem, and how you went about solving it?

Try a Compile All ( Ctrl - K ), then Ctrl - T.
Not sure about XP, but in Vista, the 10g Builder and batch compiler will crash if a PLL Library is not available when the form is compiled.
Make sure the PLL Library is available, and all its objects compile in the 10g setup.
If that does not help, then try a semicolon-to-semicolon replace all, then save the fmb. Then restart the Forms Builder, and open the fmb again, and try compiling.
Here is an old link describing the issue:

Migrating Forms 5 toForms 10g (without forms 6i) ...

Dear all,
I like to migrate Form 5 to Form 10g. I heard about the FMA(Forms Migration Assistance)... where i can use it for multiple forms...???
Also, we had used RUN_PRODUCT in many forms (to call various reports)... So how to make it available in 10g ???
Finally, we ahd also called many ProC's in forms 5.0 ... so how to deal with calling "ProC" while Migrating Forms 5 to Forms 10g ...
Thanks ...

It's not recommended to migrate from Forms 5 to 10g directly, the internal structure is completely different, you need to migrate to 6i first where you'll do all the correction needed and than migration to 10g will be very smooth.
check the [Forms Upgrade Center|http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/upgrade/index.html] for more information and white papers about migrating Forms.

Set FORMS_REJECT_GO_DISABLED_ITEM=FALSE in the
environment.Thanks for replying.
should i change this in application server default env.or some where else.
After doing this change should i compile all the forms

Forms 6i to 10g Migration Questions

Hi,
My company is thinking about migrating Forms 6i to 10g. I wonder if you can share some of your experience with us (and with thousands of others who will also face the same daunting task)
1. How do you like/dislike Forms 10g after the migration?
2. What are the pitfalls of Forms 10g? What are the strengths?
3. Other than Oracle Migration tools, is there any other tools that can help us?
4. How long is the migration process typically taken?
5. What problems have been encountered in the upgrade process?
Thank you very much!
Sincerely,
John Sun

May I answer your question with some questions of my own? :)
1. Are you migrating from Forms6i client-server or web?
2. If Web, to a non-Windows middle tier (hopefully)?
3. Do you plan to incorporate OID/SSO and/or Portal in the new environment?
I just reached the end of a 6-month long prototyping project to migrate our Forms/Reports 6i application (80% client-server, 20% web) to 10g, using SSO and Portal for report destination. We migrated about a dozen forms of varying complexity and rewrote our main application/menu form. We originally thought the prototype would take 3-4 months. The purpose was to learn what we needed to develop the best migration approach and have an idea of what it would cost. The application has about 650 forms/reports modules. Costs and the learning curve prohibited a move to J2EE/ADF; oh I wished... Management is hoping we can complete the full migration in about a year, but I think... well, this is a public forum and I am using my real name. ;)
We've only been using 10g release 2 since the end of January. Stay away from release 1 at all costs. Even release 2 is not what I would call entirely stable. I just opened a SR on MetaLink a few days ago for a problem I was able to recreate where the use of a button on a form-level toolbar that directly or indirectly call_forms a new form, and then navigation occurs back to the original form (say, when trying to minimize or rearrange widows) causes the session to crash with the infamous ORA-92101. We rely heavily on a hierarchical tree for our application menu, and keyboard navigation on the tree is somewhat broken (tree triggers not firing).
However, many long-standing 6i bugs have been fixed, and I really, REALLY do appreciate being at PL/SQL version 10 in Forms.
But we have some real challenges too, some self-inflicted. Some 400 of our application forms were converted from SQL*Forms 3.0 via Kumaran a while back. This is admittedly our greatest challenge. The V3 forms, being they were character-based with no mouse support, had lots of code in Key-navigation triggers that was never meant to be in navigation triggers (validation, etc) and would get bypassed if the user skipped the field using a mouse. Kumaran solved this problem using mouse triggers which are no longer supported on the web. We also are attempting to introduce some enhancements during the migration like become Section 508 compliant.
I did not opt to use the migration tool; it doesn't really do that much for you anyway.
One headache for us was Reports. We eliminated many temporary tables (permanent tables created temporarily) in user schemas for the use of global temporary tables. Granted, this feature showed up in Oracle9i. But in 10g, we found inadvertently that database sessions for reports are initiated by a java process and reused for performance, meaning different reports sometimes (and unpredictably) are sharing database sessions instead of getting their own. It would've been nice to know this beforehand because it was a challenge to find out the hard way.
My biggest complaint is that Forms still lags behind in features that are part of the application server. For example, I would've loved to implement Enterprise Users and rid our database of the many thousands of user accounts. But Forms doesn't support it. And Oracle really should have provided a migration tool to create the OID resource that links the OID user account via SSO to the database account. Especially since Forms only works with database accounts. All we got was a 9i-based White Paper on the APIs to write our own. This is Oracle data, not application data for heavens sake!
I've opened easily over a hundred SRs during this time, and am quite sure that my name is mud by now and that I have lost any chance of ever getting hired by Oracle. ;)
If your DBAs are database-centric and not used to administering a middle tier-- or administer an old middle-tier like 9iAS 1.0.2.2.2, get them into instructor-led training on 10g administration BEFORE they have to install the 10g infrastructure and middle tiers. The architecture is radically changed and infinitely more complex. As far as the workload the developers will face; Forms is still pretty much Forms, but the state of your existing code will play into it.
I was so tired of spending years on older versions of Oracle software. And I am proud to announce that I am now intimately familiar with what is known as The Bleeding Edge.

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).

Migrating VB Applications on SQL Server to Oracle Forms on Oracle 10g RAC

Hello All,
I am looking at migrating a VB application built on a SQL Server database across to an Oracle Forms deployment with the data migrated to an Oracle 10g RAC database environment.
My first question is whether the SQL Developer Migration Workbench can migrate the SQL Server data to a RAC environment?
The second question is to ask whether there are any "toolkits" or tips from the community migrating VB applications to Oracle Forms.
Any advise or suggestions greatly accepted.
Kind Regards,
Gary.

SQL Developer Migration Workbench definitely can migrate SQL Server data to Oracle RAC setup.
However, I don't think VB application can be easily converted to Oracle Forms.
You can post your question in Oracle Form forum to double check.

Technical Document (Exact Procedures) To Migrate Forms/Reports 9i to 10g

Hi;
Where can i find the Technical Document (Exact Procedures) To Migrate Forms/Reports 9i to 10g?

This seems to be a common point of confusion. The "FMw Upgrade Assistant" is a utility which helps you to upgrade the entire Application Server installation to a newer version (e.g. 11.1.x). This has nothing to do with your Forms (fmb, mmb, pll, etc) or Reports (rep, rdf, etc) applications. Generally speaking, I would say that using the UA is not necessary and likely should not be used in most cases. Cases where it should be used might include a situation where your previous version has been significantly customized and you don't know how or don't want to make the same customization in the new environment manually. Whether you are talking about a new product (Oracle or not) or even a new OS, generally your best bet is to start with a clean, new installation. Attempting to upgrade an existing version always comes with problems. Just one man's opinion ;-)
As for your Forms application(s), there is a Forms Migration Assistant (FMA), explained in the Forms Upgrade Guide:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24269_01/doc.11120/e24478/toc.htm
That said, just like using UA, it is always better to take the extra time and not rely on such tools if they can be avoided. In most cases, the FMA will not be needed. This is especially true if your application is coming from version 10. For older versions, using FMA might be beneficial.
So, to the point, in order to move a Forms application (fmb, mmb, pll) from version 10 to 11 is as simply as recompiling your modules using the v11 compiler. That's it ;-)

One An advantage could be:
From 10gR2 you can directly a Forms 6i while you can't from Form 4.5
A lot of built in are deprecated in forms 6i you can imagine yourself in Form 4.5

Forms 6i to 10g migration

Hi,
please any one can send me the forms 6i to 10g migration document?.
Edited by: N.K on Jun 21, 2010 11:39 PM

It really is NOT just a recompile.
For starters, the entire 3-tier architecture is different, which causes the need for potential changes using WEBUTIL. Compiling it won't add WEBUTIL and change TEXT_IO to CLIENT_TEXT_IO, or the same thing for a number of othere commands. It also doesn't address RUN_PRODUCT, which requires the RP2RRO pll.

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.
