Migrating forms from to 6i5

Hi,
I'm migrating my forms from 5 to 6i, and everythink seems to go ok apart from combo box fields. I have some forms withs this type of fields and after migrating this combo box don't appear in the window but they appear in the canvases. All the properties seems to be fine.
I only can see the field if instead of type='combo box' i choose 'pop list'.
Any help would be appreciate.
Thanks

Javier,
from the top of my head i can remember that there was an upgrade problem like this. I searched the bug database but cannot find an entry about this. I think i remember that yiu had to re-build (delete and build again) the combo box to come around this issue. If you use record groups for populating the list then you don't have to rebuild them.

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

Problem while migrating forms from 5 to 6i. Failed to load objects

Do I need access to shcema that has all objects like tables, procedures, packages, views, etc.. used in forms during migration form 5 to 6i.
I'm getting this problem.
FRM-18108: Failed to load the following objects.

Yes you can. Take a look at Upgrading from Pre-Forms 6i Applications to Oracle Forms 11g. This document is geared towards upgrading to Forms 11g, but in order to upgrade to Forms 11g you must first upgrade to Forms 10g. This document describes that process.
Hope this helps,

Problem With the Triggers while migrating Forms from 5 to 6i

When I open the version 5 fmb file in Forms 6i, some of the triggers in the form level triggers and also in data block, are having red arrow marked on them and they seem to have no code in them. So when i compile the form then those triggers are shown as errors and when I close those triggers, they are deleting.
The error looks like this..
Error 103 at line 2, column 1
Encountered the symbol "END" when expecting one of the following:
begin case declare end exception exit for goto if loop mod null pragma raise
return select update while with <an identifier>
<a double-quoted delimited-identifier> <a bind variable> <<
close current delete fetch lock insert open rollback
savepoint set sql commit <a single-quoted SQL string>
And finally the form will compile with out any errors. But when I run the form getting error again saying,
FRM 10221: Cannot read file

Hi,
the forms migration assistant tells you about v2 styles triggers (even if they are not migrated ; ) )
take a look at :
[url http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15523_01/doc.1111/e10394/migtool.htm#i100490]Using the Oracle Forms Migration Assistant
Raises a warning in the Form module's log if V2-style triggers are found.
There is also a point you must look at.
In a former project I made a migration from forms 4.5 to 10g and there was foms-level triggers applied at let say the block level or item level (I cant remember exactly) and this is not permitted anymore in 10g.
Again the forms migration assistant Provides warnings about triggers defined at incorrect levels.
Hope this helps

Migrating forms from Adobe Output Designer 5.5 to Adobe Document Server

Hi,
I have several form templates / layouts that have been created in Adobe Output Designer 5.5 (for mySAP) and I want to migrate these form templates so that they can been used in SAP Adobe Document Server.
Does anyone have any information on this? Any tools available? Documentation? Links?
cheers,
Joseph Gill
SAP Developer

I would think the common sense approach would be to upgrade to ECC 6 first then migrate your forms.
This seems to be just another step in the upgrade process.
We went from 4.7 to ECC 6, but only had Smartforms and SAPScripts. We wound up just re-creating the forms directly in Adobe.

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.

Migration Forms from Database version 7.3.2 to 8.1.7

We are developing a project in which we have to upgrade database version from 7.3.2 to 8.1.7. We have many forms and reports developing with Developer2000 (Forms 4.5.7.1.2, Reports 2.5.5.8.0) running on 7.3.2.
What would we need in order to these programs can run in the new database version? Have anyone experience in this field?
Thanks a lot.
Alfonso Rebolleda.

It should be as simple as point your connect string at the 8i database rather than the 7.3.2 one. BUT, there was a change in ROWID format between Oracle 7 and 8 which means that you have to be at least on Developer2000 release 1.6.0 (4.5.9 of Forms and above) for Forms 4.5 to run against 8i.
I'd recommend upgrading your Forms version to the terminal release of Forms 4.5 on your platform. This will usually be Developer2000 1.6.1. If you run Forms on a platform that does not have this version, you'll probably find that there has been a backport of the ROWID fix to whatever is the terminal version - Contact Oracle Support to find out.

Migrating Forms from Windows to AIX

Currently deploying on AS 9.0.2 on Windows Nt.
I wish to review what difficulties I would face
attempting to generate the same application code to
be executed on an AIX unix machine.
I am aware of User_Exit deployment issues,
but apart from that...
1. Are the only portable files :- .Fmt .Mmt .Olt .Pld etc.
Do I have to transfer the above files, and convert them
to binary, and THEN generate them, OR can I copy
the .Fmb .Mmb .Olb .Pll etc files to the AIX box and
generate these without having to consider the .Fmt...
2. Are forms running on an Application Server on windows
EXPECTED to handle in exactly the same way as when
executed on AIX? Eg Validation triggers, layout, etc...
3. Are there any other potential show-stoppers I should be
aware of.
4. Where might I find additional documentation concerning
similar issues.

Mark,
You should be able to binary transfer the fmb / pll across and then recompile.
Anything windows specific would be a show stopper, otherwise I haven't had problems (also going back from Link to Windows) - but then my Forms are usually pretty simple.
The biggest pain is case sensitivity - Unix is and Windows isn't. You should standard all file names if you can and the biggest pain are the attached libraries - especially with Designer Generated Forms as one of them is InitCapped somewhere. For this I usually have to create an FMT / PLD and see what the form thinks the library is actually called in the attachment. Have fun!

Troubles using ifcmp60 to migrate forms 4.5 to 6

I have used this:
for %f in (*.fmb) do ifcmp60 build=yes upgrade_plsql=yes upgrade=yes module=%f userid=tes/tes@instance
The command alter FMB original file, and create FMX file but it doesn't change code varchar2 instead char. Also create error file, inside this file show no error.
I want to know if it's correct because documentation show that this kind of code must change in automatic way when we run in batch mode.

hi
In order to migrate forms from 4.5 to 10g,
you need to compile the forms in 6i first and then upgrade them directly to 10g.
Forms 4.5 is client based while anything after Forms 6 is server based.
This is an important migration and close attention should
be paid to maintaining the look and functionality of the forms during migration.
Many features have been decremented and chances are that
the forms will require modification in order to get them compiled. sarah

Migration forms 4.5 to 6.0

We have an application runing in character mode, we going to migrate FORMS from 4.5 to 6.0. I want to know if someone had any kind of troubles in this migration and how solved that trouble.

I did this converting, in '99 year, long time ago
I recommended you the Developer version 1.5 or 2.1, for this convertion. in the directory BIN exists a file named f60cmp32.exe (or f60comp32.exe some like this...if not exists try f60run32.exe)
this program show you a window of parameters of compilation where put the name of .inp and the name of new file (.fmx), userid & pass, type (forms), the access (in database or .inp) and ready...
all the code translate good, only modify the canvases defaut.
I wish the best

Runnig forms in oracle 10g after migrating them from oracle 6i

Guyz ....i have developed forms in oracle 6i and when i presented them to the my manager he says that he wants them to be web based.....arghhhh.!!!!!! shud have told me at the beginning itself....anyways i downloaded the forms 10g from oracle website and migrates my forms from 6i to 10g ....
1.The forms are getting compiled and i can run them on my laptop.. i wanna noe whats the procedure to run them on other system .....the port number is 8889
I mean running them on a web on some other LP or system.???
2.And my 2nd problem is that ...The records are not being saved in 10g as in 6i. I created the forms in 6i using the data block wizard and set the block accordingly as told by u people in this forum

Look at the existing formsweb.cfg configuration file located in your <DEVSUITE_HOME>/forms/server folder. It allows you to create different sections to start your Forms applications.
For instance, if you create a application_1 section, give this name in your URL.
