Migrating from Forms/Reports 6i to 10G

Hi all
I'm trying to migrate my application, developped using forms and reports 6i to 10G.
Could someone please give me the list of functions/procedures deprecated in the 10G that was used in 6i? I've no access to metalink.
this would help me replace the deprecated instructions in 6i by the equivalent ones in 10G.
Thanks for your help

Migrating from Forms 4.5 to 10g

I'm trying to start a new project and we have to migrate a complete system built in developer/2000 (forms 4.5) to Developer 10g. Which is the best way to do that, is necessary first migration to 6i or 9i?
I have basic knowledge in java/xml and all oracle web technology, what is the best path to learn it?
0.- Are there papers/tutorials available?
1.- Jdeveloper is mandatory to be used?
2.- Do I have to use Forms or JDeveloper (both?)?
Thanks in advance

Best resource would be to go to otn.oracle.com/formsupgrade
Generally speaking we only certified upgrade form 4.5 to 10g via 6i but you can still go from 4.5. straight up to 10g if you want.
You probably need a couple of days to go through the information above but generally speaking its the same developer skills you need - you don't really have to learn new technologies.

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 ;-)

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).

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

P_SERVER_NAME=rep_devserver P_ACTION=http://devserver:7778/reports/rwservlet?');
          v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid);
else
for reports with out any parameters
v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid);
end if;
rep_status := REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS(v_rep);
WHILE rep_status in ('RUNNING','OPENING_REPORT','ENQUEUED')

Display graphs in 10g on migration from forms 6i

Hello,
plesase can u tell me how will u display forms in 10g on migration from forms 6i?
mamata

The HOST command in Forms can only call procedures on the client that runs Forms (assuming you run Forms in client/server mode, this is the user's PC).
If you want to run a procedure on the database host, you have to call this procedure from the database, not from Forms.
In 8i the easiest way is to do this via a Java stored procedure:

What are the Issues in Migration from oracle 8i to oracle 10g

Hi,
Can you let me know what are the issues that i face when i migrate from oracle 8i to oracle 10g. I will be very thankful if you give me a list of issues that you face while migrating from 8i to 10g

In addition to Max's reply, you must be aware that you have to test your applications agains 10g database before you actually upgrade the database.
If you use CBO, it may produce different execution plans for one query when you run it in 8i and 10g. This may affect your application performances, which you don't like to happen.
Also you have to decide how much downtime you can afford during the migration. Can you afford some downtime and how much? If you can't than this makes the situation more complicated.
How big is your database? You may end up only with simple export/import solution using export import utility.
The bottom line is, whatever you decide, you must test your applications running against 10g database before you actually upgrade your database.

what else is missing . plz help.....

Well, you can migrate, you can not upgrade (semantics I suppose). E.g.; the RDC was deprecated in CR XI r1 and retired in CR 2008. Thus there is no way for you to upgrade to version 12 of the RDC as there is no such thing. So, from here, you have two options: migrate / port the app to .NET, or Java SDKs.
Re. RDC, see my blog here:
/people/ludek.uher/blog/2008/10/20/report-designer-component--past-present-future
For porting the app to .NET, see this article:

Migrate from Crystal Report XI R2 to Business Objects XI R2

Hello friends,
As per end of licence life cycle for Crystal report, we need to migrate our 30 crystal reports to BO xi r2.
First thing i need to ask is that ...is this possible to migrate from Crystal report XI R2 to BO xi R2 ?
If yes than where i can find migration guide..i tried import wizard but its not showing crystal reports in list.
please help..
thanks.

Ok. We used the same Administrator user.
It seems first we need to move report to Report Samples than only it shows in list.
If we keep *.rpt under user folders its not being imported.
Import is possible this way only. Now we need to call the report from java.
Which API should we use to print this crystal report migrated to BO?
Regards.

Migration from Oracle 9i database to 10g in ECC5

Hi Experts,
We are planning to move our production system which is currently running ECC5 on AIX OS and Oracle 9i database to AIX OS and Oracle 10g database.
Some doubts regarding the above procedure:
1)Is there any possibility of SAP system migration from Oracle 9i to Oracle 10g. If yes, do we need to perform any addinitional steps for that?
2)If the above condition is OK, then what type of system copy should we need to follow: Homogeneous or Heterogeneous? Heterogeneous system copy is ususally done incase of system copy involving different databases. Does that apply for differnt versions too like Oracle 9i and 10g?
Any response is highly appreciated.
Regards,
Sanjay

If i'm using the dbua then the above issue will be solved by dbua itself?Well, DBUA will only perform a sanity check on your current release and if it doesn't pass it will fail. In other words DBUA will not upgrade your 9i release to the proper compatible release that you have to do before upgrading to 10R2.
Personally I never used DBUA, I always prefer manual upgrades, DBUA is good for you bcz it will not allow you to miss any step while upgrading.
What is the size of the database which you are going to upgrade?
