Migration From Developer 2.1 to Forms 6i/9i

Hello,
My client wants to migrate from Developer 2.1 to Forms 6i or to Forms 9i with C/S architecture (Sun Solaris 2.6). They are told (from Oracle Support) that they need to add a patch set before migrating. Has anybody migrated in this environment and what patch set was added?
Thanks,
Arun.

Hi,
3 things.
1. The forms 9i is NOT available for the client/server environment. Therefore if your customer insists on client/server environment then you need to upgrade to forms 6i (which is the final client/server version of forms/reports developer).
2. There are OS patches that you need to apply if you want to run forms/reports developer 6i on solaris 2.6. The complete list is available in the 6i installation documentation (you might find it also on the internet). If you upgrade the OS to solaris 8, then there is no extra OS patches required for forms/reports developer 6i. We are running 6i on Solaris 8 (with no extra OS patches).
3. The last available patch for forms/reports developer 6i is patch #10 which can be downloaded from Oracle Metalink. I did apply this patch for 6i on solaris 8 client/server environment and has not seen any negative effect so far.

Migrating from Centura/Gupta to Oracle forms

Hi
I work at an organistion that is the result of a merger, we have two main bespoke systems, one in Oracle Forms which has recently been upgraded to the web based version (6.5) and a second written in Gupta / Centura SQL Windows client server. Both use Oracle databases thought the Centura application is still on 8i.
We want to move to Forms over time but will have to run both for a while and would like to try and run them as more of a single system in the interim. e.g a single security system so users can move from one to the other without having to use 2 userids & passwords. My initial investigations suggest this isn't going to be easy.
I wondered if anyone had any experience/ tips, or could point me at any useful resources.
Thanks

We want migrate from gupta 9.0 (sql base) to oracle db 11.1. We need some help or information. Could you give us any procedure of migration ?
Thanks you. We hope for your help.

Migrating from 6i to 9i for form generating starting with designer

I try to migrating our forms generating 5-6 years start with designer, but they are finished through form builder.
When I tried to use migrating assistant wizard, I get
LMDMANA.CG$WHEN_NEW_FORM_INSTANCE: The String CALL was found. If it is an occurence of the Forms Built-In, It should be replaced with CALL_FORM.
Here is my LMDMANA.CG$WHEN_NEW_FORM_INSTANCE procedure
/* CG$WHEN_NEW_FORM_INSTANCE */
PROCEDURE CG$WHEN_NEW_FORM_INSTANCE IS
BEGIN
/* CGLY$INIT_CANVASES */
/* Call procedure to ensure correct canvases are visible */
BEGIN
CGLY$CANVAS_MANAGEMENT;
END;
/* CGBS$STARTUP */
/* Perform start-up processing for Block Synchronisation */
BEGIN
/* Set the defaults for the globals */
:global.cg$query_mode := 'A';
-- default_value('A', 'GLOBAL.CG$QUERY_MODE');
/* Set the relations to the default query mode */
CGBS$.SET_RELATIONS( :GLOBAL.CG$QUERY_MODE );
/* Set the query mode items */
CGBS$SET_QUERY_MODE( :GLOBAL.CG$QUERY_MODE );
END;
END;
I posted it through metalink and I was told it must be regenerated through designer, and there is no way to do migration.

Hi,
actually you would upgrade the application sources from Forms 6i to Forms9i and then run teh Forms Migration Assistant for the clean up /this at least is my understanding after asking one of our Designer Product Managers).

Migration from Oracle Forms to HTML DB ?

Dear all,
is there a tool allowing to migrate from Oracle Forms to HTML DB ?
Thanks.
Best Regards.
Marcello.

Hello.
Thanks for your response.
Here is the motivation.
We have still applications developped with Oracle Forms 6i (old version no more supported). We are investigating for doing the migration with a limited expense to Oracle Forms 10g or HtmlDB.
Another questions are :
Is it possible to migrate from Oracle 6i to Oracle Forms 10g ?
Oracle Forms will still exists ? until when ?
Many thanks for your cooperation.

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 do I migrate from a former user account on an external drive after a clean install?

This question has been partially answered before but not to my satisfaction and, from what I've found, not for Mountain Lion.
My MBPr was running fine for a week after I transfered my User account to an external drive. After some reorganization I decided to move the acount to a different external drive. I blundered and, for whatever reason, was unable to log in to any account on my MBPr. Not even my backup account - which suprised me. (I tried repairing disks, permissions, etc...) I tried to resolve it on the phone with Apple to no avail. Finally, I gave up. I booted into recovery and did a reinstall. After 12 hours I came back to find that it wasn't a clean reinstall. And I still couldn't log in to anything.
I then did an erase and reinstall. After another 12 hours I now have a clean install of Mountain Lion on my MBPr. I have an external drive with my former working user directory (Home:Users/mrmoose) on it. (BTW, It is LARGER than my internal SSD drive, it is not bootable, AND I have no backup of it in Time Machine format.)
My current user account is Macintosh HD:Users/bullwinkle
1) Is there a way to "reclaim" my user account on the external drive - possibly without even copying or migrating?
2) Can I copy the contents of bullwinkle (excluding some of my folders under Documents so it fits) to Macintosh HD Users/bullwinkle? Including the Library folder? I have audio plugins, etc...
I'd still like my User directory on an external drive. But I will settle for keeping it on the internal drive. I just want my info back.
Why, oh, why does Migration Assistant require your data to be in TIME MACHINE format only - why can one not migrate from a full copy on an external drive? Why can't it look at the darn thing and say, "Hey, that's a copy of an OSX User directory. I can migrate data from that."?
I would greatly appreciate a detailed response. THANK YOU. Lama Out.

~/Library is probably the one you don't want to move back because it may bring the issues back along with it.
All your own data you can drag & drop. You can drag the contents of any folder Movies, Music, Pictures, Documents (or as much as you want).
Rather than try to replace the Library you can take ~/Library/Application Support, Mail, Safari and any other folders you need.
To access your hidden ~/Library folder go to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key to choose "Library".
Then you can drag it to the Sidebar for easy access.

Post Migration from SP2010 -Attach File Button not working in any list new/edit forms

Hi,
We have migrated the SharePoint 2010 farm to Sharepoint 2013 on last saturday and we are noticing an interesting issue after the migration .
On any custom list on any web application ,When we create a new item,if we click on attach file button in the ribbon,nothing shows up on the screen.
In the browser Dev Tools its showing an error message as "Cannot read Property style of null".
This is happening on a javascript (form.debug.js) on line No : 5276
(document.getElementById("partAttachment")).style.display = "block";
There is no element rendered in html with id "partAttachment",which is causing this error to happen.
Solutions tried are
1) Modified the List Advanced Settings to disable and enable the attachments ,which did not work
2) Ran the Sharepoint Configuration wizard which did not fix
3)Tried reset the site definition for all pages in the site from site settings
4) Deactivated and activated all the activated features in the site collection
Its an OOB List New Form,no customizations has been done.
Similar error occurring with List Edit form as well
when you click on the List Item in the List default view when you navigate to the list and when you click on attach file,a popup dialog to upload attachments appearing,However its not working when you
navigate into the list item and tried to upload attachment.
Please help if any Solutions / thoughts

Hi Christopher,
Thanks for your reply,
Farm Information
OS: Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 Enterprise

Interestingly,all the javascript files loading were debug.js,Not sure how its loading all debug.js files

10g form canvas not fitting into the window....migrated from 6i

I have some forms that I migrated from 6i to 10g on an XP machine. The entire form is not being displayed. I increased the size of the applet window in the ODS environment. This did indeed get larger, but did not rectify the problem. I then tried to increase the size of the canvases and windows on the form. The only thing that this accomplished, as you might expect, is that it just added scroll bars to the form so that I can see the entire form by adding a scroll bar so that I could scroll to see the entire form. What I need to do is to display the entire form without having scroll bars displayed. Help will be greatly appreciated. Thanx. Paul

Is your form displaying inside the browser window or in a separate window?
If you maximize the window, is your form still being cut off (displaying blank space to the right or at the bottom)?

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

          v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid);
else
for reports with out any parameters
v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid);

Are you currently deployed on the web or as c/s. Generally speaking for upgrading Forms its a case of open in the builder, regenerate and run. For c/s to web there may be some extra steps to do but generally speaking most Forms will run out of the box.
CHeck out otn.oracle.com/formsupgrade
There is also a batch option to help you and there are of course Oracle partners who can help as well.

Migration from oracle forms to SOA

Hello everybody,
I work in a company that develops a product for financial institutes. we have the product developed using oracle forms, and we want to migrate it to an SOA environnement but i have some questions that i'd be happy if someone answered to them.
1- We want to use oracle soa suite for the migration, in this case should a client, who will buy the application, buy oracle SOA suite. if this is the case, what are the minimum components of oracle soa suite a client should buy.
2- Can we implement a service oriented architecture without using an ESB??
3- What steps could we follow to migrate from oracle forms to oracle SOA suite.
thanks

From my knowledge acquainted through White papers - This is what I think - Even I am in the process of understanding and learning SOA enablement technologies,
Migrating from Forms world to SOA - If there is a real need to migrate the solution to latest technologies then we have to capture the forms logic to redesign in ADF of the Fusion Middleware techstack but if the business need currently works well with the forms based application and we have other system which need integration with this forms based system - You can definetly keep all the hetrogenous systems and architect using SOA to talk to each other - For this it would beneficial to use ESB and BPEL (ESB - To primarily serve as a communication medium between the hetrogenous systems and BPEL to overall orchestrate the process from end to end)
In this way you have all the disparate systems communicating and business running smooth through a SOA based process and in the mean time you start on the reverse engineering process of all the individual systems to migrate to the latest technologies (If there is a business need for the technology shift)
It would be really beneficial to you if you spend some time reading about the SOA and more than technology what exactly is the underlying goal of SOA and then understand what are all the various components of SOA to govern this architecture such as ESB, BPEL, BAM, Rules etc..,
Thanks
