Migrating forms/reports 6i to 11g

Hi,
Im looking for a step-by-step guide to migrate from form/reports 6i to forms 11g.
I found the document bellow. Can one suggest more resources ?
Oracle® Forms
Upgrading Oracle Forms 6i to Oracle Forms 11g
11g Release 1 (11.1.1)
E10394-01Thanks

I'm thinking no because a large part of it depends upon how the 6 Forms were written.
You probably already have this:

Oracle Doc 207396.1 has some information too.

You said, "...+I would like to install Release 2(11.1.1.2.0)+ ...". Be careful. 11.1.1.2.0 is not Release 2. The version for Rel 2 is 11.1.2.0, notice that there is one less "1". Also, there is no way to patch from Release 1 to Release 2.
In EDelivery, this is what you should find if you search on "Oracle Fusion Middleware" for "Microsoft Windows x64 (64-bit)":
First look for this link then drill into it:
Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Media Pack for Microsoft Windows x64 (64-bit)
In this section you will find the following:
This is the full product installation of FMw 11 Release 2 (Forms & Reports)
Oracle Forms and Reports 11g R2 (11.1.2.0.0) for Microsoft Windows x64 (64-bit) V28761-01
This is the full product installation of FMw 11 Release 1 (includes Portal, Forms, Reports, and Disco)
Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer 11g (11.1.1.2.0) for Microsoft Windows x86 (64-bit) (Part 1 of 4) V18785-01

Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer 11g (11.1.1.2.0) for Microsoft Windows x86 (64-bit) (Part 4 of 4)
This is the FMw 11 Release 1 patch set that will bring the above 11.1.1.2.0 installation to 11.1.1.6. This is NOT a full product installation - just a patch
Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer 11g Patch Set 5 (11.1.1.6.0) for Microsoft Windows x86 (64-bit) V29850-01
There are no patch sets for Release 2 as of yet.

Good evening
I installed the following products
* Oracle Database(to the 1st computer)
* Repository Creation Utility
* WebLogic Server(to the 2nd computer)
* Oracle Portal,Forms,Reports and Discoverer 11G(to the 2nd computer) – during installation I chose forms and reports
Identity Management and SSO are not installed, why they are used for?
While connecting to the base with the help of Visard I open Oracle Forms Builder by and create a primitive form. Everything is good. All are shown. I press Run Form which is written as Oracle Forms in browser and suggests keeping a clear file. Particularly in applied file!
Print screen of my monitor yo can see: http://www.sql.ru/forum/actualthread.aspx?tid=678852
Thanks for attention.

Identity Management and SSO are not installed, why they are used for?IDM and SSO is used for user authentication.
You can search for details about that.

Thanks for attention.the port which you have mentioned is it WLS_FORMS_PORT or any other.
Try running default Forms port WLS_FORMS_PORT that will be 9001
or check for the WLS_FORMS_PORT in the portlist.ini file.
Also are you getting any exception in the Java console.?

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 ;-)

Migration from reports 6i to 11g

Hi Guys,
I am very new to report development and needed some help on migrating reports 6i to reports 11g. I did some reading up and only found the the document Upgrading Oracle Forms 6i to Oracle Forms 11g 11g Release 1 (11.1.1) E10394-01 which talk about forms migration. I am looking for a reports migration and found no good documentation on it. Could somebody direct me to some good documentation. Also a few more questions i had in mind
1) Can I migrate to 11g directly or should i migrate to 10g first.
2) Can I use the migation assitant for reports migration or is it only for the forms.
3) If i need to recompile the reports in 11g is there a a 11g developer suite that i should use for it.
Thanks and regards

We will be starting a process of converting our forms/reports 6i to 11Gr2. I just installed weblogic/forms 11Gr2 and i'm trying out reports. They do compile easely and run in "paper layout" but do not work in "web layout"..404 error in web browser. We have maybe 100reports in our systems to convert. If I create a new 11G report from scratch and define it has being "web and paper layout" everything works like a charm. I compiled in reports 11G and use the report converter with same results.
I heard many times that reports RDF in 6i will look the same in 11G...in paper layout they do...but that does not get your reports on the web.
Is there some way to auto convert all reports so that the web layout is added...or we will need to convert all of them?
thanks for nay help you can give me guys...

Oracle Forms & Reports 6i using 11g database

Hello All,
We are in the process of upgrading our Oracle db to 11g, yet use client/server configuration for Oracle Forms & Reports. We were able to make this scenario work.
But, encountering one problem. When we invoke a/any report from the application's report menu it is prompting for login again ( that wasn't happening before ).
Is this a known issue? Are ther any work-a-rounds for this issue, if so, please suggest.
Regards,
Vani

Sounds like a problem with case-sensitive passwords. there are several forum-posts about that problem. Start here

Upgradation while moving from Form/Report 6i to 11g ?

Sir/Mam,
I have inhouse development in Oracle 8i, Form/Report 6i in server/client architechture. Now, I want to run my application in Oracle 11g Form/Reports.
There are so many Oracle Products in Oracle 11g. So, guide me what type of upgradations or which type of Oracle Products I should download.
Thanks & Regards.
Sukhvinder Singh.

Hi Sukhvinder,
These are the main things you need to do
01. Upgrade Oracle Forms/Reports 6i (Client/Server) to 11g (Web) version
--In here you need to follow the Oracle Gudelines
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12839_01/doc.1111/e10394.pdf
02. Then Install Oracle WebLogic Server with Oracle Forms/Reports Services
03. Deploy Forms/Reports
Each of these task has lot of things to do..

Upgradation from Oracle 8i Forms/Reports to Oracle 11g Forms/Reports

Dear all, is it possible to upgrade our in-house developed ERP from 8i to 11g directly ?
If possible then please tell me the procedures,cost etc. for the same.
Is ORACLE provides training for the same ?
Its' urgent please!

Hi Sukhvinder,
ERP or not ... it must be an application using a database.
If your application is created with Forms you can upgrade a 6.0.8 Forms (+) --- directly ---> to 11g.
For a lower version you need to pass through an intermediate version: lower than 6.0.8 Forms ----> 10.1.2 -----> 11g.
You can take a look at http://www.in-oracle.com/Oracle-Middleware/OAS/oracle-forms-11g.php as well for more details.

Portal, Forms, Reports and discover 11g

Hi,
When setting up the version 11.1.1.3.0_32 within WinXP, I've got
INST-07010: Validation of Oracle Home location failed. The location specified does not exist.
Enter a valid existing directory
INST-07100: The Oracle home provided does not contain Oracle Portal 11.1.1.2.0.
In order to patch your existing version please provide an Oracle home that contains the product mentioned above. If you choose to continue, only the oracle_common directory and any components that both products have in common will be patched.
INST-07293: Middleware home location specified does not have the required Oracle homes installed in it. The Oracle homes for the following components is not installed oracle.classicwls.top.
Provide a different Middleware home location or install the required Oracle Products and try the install again
Best Regards

I think I did not missed anythingYes, I've heard this before and after a long forum conversation it turned out that a step was missed. When you installed ofm_pfrd_win_11.1.1.3.0_32_disk1_1of1 did you install WebLogic Server (10.3.3) first? If not, then you definately missed a step. Oracle Fusion Middleware (FMw) requires the installation of the WebLogic Server (WLS) first. When you install WLS you have to skip the domain configuation step because the FMw installation will perform the configuruation for you.
Oracle is in the process of creating a "lighter" install for FMw, but I am not aware that this has been released yet. This lighter install will (as I understand it) include a WLS runtime similar to the OC4J servlet used by Oracle Developer Suite 10g.
So, like I said, could you please list for us the steps you followed when installing FMw?
Craig...I was just reading the forum and I see that ! GREAT NEWS !!!! our standalone OC4J will now become a WLS standalone !
That will save hours and hours of installation process !
I'm waiting for that since 11g has been released !

How can I uninstall a damaged installation of Fusion - PFRD 11.1.1.6.0 - Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer

Hello,
I am upgrading EBS 11i to 12i, Discoverer 4 to 11. After completing ebs installation and upgrade successfully, I am now working on the Oracle Fusion piece of the upgrade.
I have installed
1. JDK
2. Repository Creation Utility - RCU (schema)
3. Weblogic - WLS 10.3.6
4. Oracle Fusion - Discoverer 11g Release 1 Patchset 1 11.1.1.2.0 PFRD
5. Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer 11g Patchset 11.1.1.6.0 - Patchset 13517084
6. Executed config.sh and it failed with but continued.
During the Configuration of Oracle Fusion with config.sh there was failure at with "fails at creating data sources" and accidentally proceeded and all seem to go well until after shutting down the servers when Weblogic Managed Server is unable to start.
The start log indicated: "weblogic.store.PersistentStoreFatalException: [Store:280105]The persistent file store "_WLS_WLS_DISCO" cannot open file _WLS_WLS_DISCO000000.DAT." and I have been unable to find a solution for this error?
See log file error at https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/15497130/oracle/ebs11/startManagedWebLogic.sh_nohup.out
If re-installation is my only option, then what are the steps to uninstall, and which components do I have to uninstall given that I had upgraded all the schemas involved?
Mathias

Hey,
You can always change the JDBC datasources in the Weblogic admin console . but have you recorded what is the specific error you got during the datasources creation .
I prefer...create a new user , give him sysdba privillages . Start RCU and create the DEV_DISCOVERER , DEV_DISCOVERER_PS schemas (prefix is your choice)
The Admin server will start . so go to admin console .
click services -> Data Sources
Check the data sources you have . edit each datasource and update the connection pool information .
after this you can start the Managed server WLS_DISCO
i believe this will solve this .........
if you still get issue again . you can try the link Using the WebLogic Persistent Store
Thanks

Help in Installing Oracle Portal,Forms,Reports and Discoverer(11.1.1.2.0)

Hi,
I am trying to install Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer 11g (11.1.1.2.0) for Linux x86-64.
I have installed weblogic 10.3.5 generic jar file.
When i try to install forms and reports server the configuration step fails while creating weblogic domain.
Please help me installing portal and reports.
Is there any patch i am missing or the weblogic version is incorrect?
Thanks.

You cannot configure Fmw 11.1.1.2 against WLS 10.3.5. They are not supported nor compatible.
If you want to use WLS 10.3.5, you need to "install" 11.1.1.2, but do not configure. That is an installation option. After you have successfully installed 11.1.1.2 you will need to patch it to 11.1.1.6. After patching, you then can run the configuration (config.bat).
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/install.1111/e10421/install.htm#CLINS256
Version 11 is far more complex than previous versions. I strongly encourage everyone to review the product documentation before trying to install. You can also refer to the following MyOracleSupport note:
Steps to Maintain Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Release 1 (11.1.1) (Doc ID 1073776.1)

Upgrade Oracle Forms/Reports from 6i to 11g

Hi you Oracle experts,
I'm considering to upgrade my Oracle Forms/Reports application from 6i to 11g.
However, I see dozens of separated server components on the download page in OTN.
Can anyone guide me what server/developer software components should I prepare to install ?
Also, please tell me the service dependency between the server components.
Thank you in advance.

It depends on which Machine you want to install. Its different for a developer and a Server.
For Forms and Reports, you can Weblogic server and install FMV with Forms and Reports builders.
For migration you can go through this link.
