MIgration forms6i to forms10g

I´m migrating from forms6i to forms10g, all the forms need to be compiled on IBM-AIX
(the Application Server runs over IBM-AIX) and when try to compile a
form that uses CLIENT_TEXT_IO on IBM-AIX, the compiler shows the next
error message:
"Compiling procedure IMPRIMIR...
Compilation error on procedure IMPRIMIR:
PL/SQL ERROR 201 at line 2, column 10
identifier 'CLIENT_TEXT_IO.FILE_TYPE' must be declared
PL/SQL ERROR 0 at line 2, column 10
Item ignored
PL/SQL ERROR 320 at line 16, column 4
the declaration of the type of this expression is incomplete or malformed
PL/SQL ERROR 0 at line 16, column 4
Statement ignored
PL/SQL ERROR 201 at line 18, column 11
identifier 'CLIENT_TEXT_IO.IS_OPEN' must be declared
PL/SQL ERROR 0 at line 18, column 4
Statement ignored"
All the configuration about webutil is correct on AIX, all the changes on
each form was made using Forms Builder 10.1.2.0.2 on Windows XP, and
it works on Windows.
Somebody could help me......

Check the obvious things that causes the form to not find the attached pll:
- the name of the pll file is not exactly the same as attached (in unix uppers/lower are different, this is not a problem in windows)
- the pll is not in the current directory (where compiling), nor in the FORMS_PATH environment variable.

  • Active form difference between Forms6i and Forms10g

    We have a custom forms application that has recently been migrated from Forms6i to Forms10g. Our clients have noticed the following difference and I would appreciate some feeback.
    1. FormA is called from the menu (CALL_FORM('form_name, NO_HIDE...)
    2. FormB is called from the menu (CALL_FORM('form_name, NO_HIDE...)
    3. From WINDOW - select FormA
    Under Forms10g the menu and toolbar are now inactive (the tool bar is greyed out and the menu item cannot be selected - FormsA is now in focus but not active).
    Under Forms6i the menu and toolbar remain not grayed out (though actions are in relations to FormB - currently not in focus but it appears still the active form).
    It appears that there has been a tightening up between what form is currently in focus and active.
    Is this the expected behaviour?

    The menu items as not greyed out but in Forms10g the menu items do not function.
    If you have a toolbar associated it is greyed out in Forms10g but not Forms6i.
    I created a test case as follows; (forms created in 6i using wizards and then migrated to 10g).
    1. Created form1
    2. Created form2
    3. Created Menu
         * item 1 - CALL_FORM('TEST_FORM_1',NO_HIDE);
         * item 2 - CALL_FORM('TEST_FORM_2',NO_HIDE);
         * item 3 - EXIT_FORM;
    4. Run TEST_FORM_1
    5. From MENU select TEST_FORM_2
    6. From WINDOW (or click on) TEST_FORM_1
    7. From MENU select EXIT_FORM
    Under Forms6i TEST_FORM_2 exits (not this is the current active form but not the one currently in focus).
    Under Forms10g EXIT_FORM does nothing.

  • Using or converting forms developed in forms6i to forms10g

    Could you please tell me
    how to use or convert forms developed in forms6i to forms10g (Developer suit)

    You just open them with Forms Builder 10g Compile and save, you need to upgrade your libraries as well.
    Best place to start with is [url http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/upgrade/index.html]Forms Upgrade Center Here you can find tips and documentations and every information you need.

  • Approach To migrate forms6i to 11g

    Hi ,
    We are in the process of upgrading forms 6i to forms11g.
    i) what is the best practice to migrate ?
    a) Is it advisable to use Oracle Migration Assitant or to convert it using APEX.
    b) Are there any pros and cons of using both the approach
    Is Migration Assitant or Apex alone sufficinet to convert from forms6i to 11g. how to handle the obseleted features of 6i in 11g.
    are there any other considertaion to be noted while upgrading to 11g
    Appreciate your inputs on this.
    Regards
    sunil

    Let me address your questions
    1) See http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15523_01/doc.1111/e10394/toc.htm
    a) YOu could use the Forms migration assistant but its not a requirement. Regarding APEX - well, if you choose Apex thats your choice but you are choosing a different technology and you'll pretty much be looking at a re-write. See http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/pdf/10gR2/formsmigration.pdf
    b) See the above link for some details on migration to APex. If you stay with Forms then you have the following benefits
    Application look and feel will be similar in 11g as 6i - so no end user retraining
    Development environment is the same - no need to retrain developers
    You preserve the investment you have in Forms
    YOu don't have to spend time/cost/risk in moving to a different technology.
    Obsolete features see http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/pdf/forms_upgrade_reference.pdf

  • FRM-47032 : when converting from forms6i to forms10g

    Hello,
    There is a weird error I get when I execute a form that I have converted from forms6i (in a 8i db) into forms10g
    There is no pb when I execute de form in the 8i db
    But, it seems that the initialisation of a parameter cannot be done in the same way in the 10g
    I get the message "FRM-47032: Cannot set value of parameter BLABLABLA in DEFAULT parameter list: internal error"
    This parameter BLABLABLA is declare as a CHAR and defaulted with 'NO'
    Any idea?

    Thanks for the reply.
    Anyway, after a long search, I found out that the problem was somewhere else, in our Webutil configuration...
    And, therefore, the error I got, come from the ON_ERROR trigger, that ran right before the PRE_FORM trigger (because of a bad configuration of webutil)
    All is fine now.
    and the issue is closed.

  • Problem with using CLIENT_GET_FILE_NAME fuction.

    Hi,
    i am using WebUtil with Oracle Application Server to migrate Forms6i on Forms10g
    i have got this problem, when i pressed the button to call the CLIENT_GET_FILE_NAME fuction.
    oracle.forms.webutil.file.FileFunctions bean not found
    WEBUTIL_FILE.FILE_SELECTION_DIALOG_INT will not work.
    all configuration is good ( formsweb.cfg, webutill.pll,webutil.olb,...)
    but i have got this probleme
    Anyone can help me ?

    Sounds like you are missing some .jar file.
    If I remember correctly you needed to download some jar's with "jasper" in their name and install them in some lib directory. The complete process is described in the webutil install guide. If you did grab these files, then please make sure that they are located at the correct lib-directory / classpath.

  • Reports in IDS10g

    Hi Folks!!!
    I have installed IDS10g R2 WinXP and I try to migrate Forms6i to Forms10g and work fine, my question is what happen with the Forms that call reports i'ts possible display the reports in web only with IDS10g or I must install OAS (Forms and Reports Services).
    Thanks and regards,
    Wilson

    Very thanks for your update Frank
    I need run a form that call a report from Forms Builder. How can I do to install the reports server in IDS10g? Because the command rwserver -install is obsolete.
    Thanks,

  • Oracle forms10g Migration : rp2rro.rp2rro_run_product

    Hi All ,
    I have a question regarding the rp2rro.rp2rro_run_product.
    I have used a tool FMA ( Forms Migration assistant ) that comes with 10g Forms to convert the forms6i to forms10g.
    Now the forms that invoked reports using run_product are converted to "rp2rro.rp2rro_run_product" . Should this be fine to invoke the reports from forms 10g (or) do we need to change this call to run_report_object ?
    If so , could you please assist as to how to do that . Is FMA doing an obsolote job here in just converting to rp2rro.rp2rro_run_product and not to run_report_object ?
    Any help would be really appreciated . Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Ashwin.

    Hi Jan ,
    First of all , thanks for being patient and having responded to all of my questions. I need some more help from you if you could.
    1 )
    I did go though some of the notes(Note:207396.1) in Metalink and tried to create a sample report to invoke it from the form ( Button) as mentioned stepwise.
    I see that when I click the button which would invoke the report , I get the following error :-
    REP-51002: Bind to Reports Server repserver90 failed
    Any clues why this occurs ?
    Note:- I have started a new instance of rwserver using :
    rwserver server=repserver90
    2) Do we need to modify the rp2rro.rp2rroReportServer package variable to point to the new reports server name in 10g (or) is it just ok to update the proprety pallete for rp2rro report object that got created in the converted form.
    Basically , do we need modification to the rpr2rro.pll package?
    if not where else do we specify the new reports servername.
    rp2rro.rp2rro_run_product does have any input parameter to take reportsserver name.
    3) Also , does this reportservername be a in-process server (or) should it be a new instance created(using rwserver command). Sorry , asking this question as I wasn't sure about this and never worked on reports services configration before.
    ( Also , I wasn't getting proper inputs from the dba on this ).
    Thanks once again.

  • How to replace the forms6i menu parameter in forms 10g after migration

    Hai,
    We have forms6i application and we are going to migrate forms6i into forms 10g .The forms 6i have the menu userdefine parameter.But forms 10g don't have the option. so please send me the suggesstion what we can do .Is there any alternative way.How to bring the same funtionality in forms 10g after the migration.pls reply me
    THANKS

    We had the same problem - you could develop a new form just to accept the necessary user input, but that might be overkill. We used Forms Editors, displaying them with an appropriate startup text e.g. 'Parameter1='. The user then types in the parameter, then we check the new Editor text and pull out the info we need.

    Hi All,
    I have a scenario where :
    I just migrated my forms from forms6i to forms10g. My IDS 10g R2 sits on Windows XP machine through which I build my form. My IAs 10g R2 sits on Linux machine throught which I compile my forms. Lot of my forms uses pro*C reports which I want to display on the web. I'm using host command in my forms. My questions are :
    1) Do I have to use webtuil?
    2) Is my pro*C reports needs to be ftp into my windows machine or I can still run it even though they sit on linux machine.
    3) How can i dsiplay my pro*C report on the web?

    Greetings anandhi108,
    After reading your post, it sounds like you are experiencing an error with the Photos app on your iPhone. You may want to consider restarting the device first, and then resetting if that does not work. This article provides detailed instructions for Restarting, and Reseting:
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    How to restart
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on the top of your device until the red slider appears. Then drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
    After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
    How to reset
    You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.

  • Forms10G on Client/Server

    Hi,
    We are migrating from Forms6i to Forms10G. Our current Forms6i application is very small and it's on client/server mode and not accessed through web but through Forms6i runtime.
    Now we want to continue same client/server mode.
    Can application created in Forms10G only run on web ?
    For a small application like us, do we need to install application server ?
    Please note that one client is accessing our application.
    Is separate license required for Forms Server ?
    Regards,
    Suhail Ahmed

    Will the Forms 6i patches continue to be available from Oracle, or will they be pulled off OTN Dec 31?
    Is Patch 16 the last patch to 6i, or will there be one last one this month?
    Thanks!

  • Does Forms10g Supports Database Template??

    Hi
    We are doing migration from Forms6i to Forms10G.
    But we are facing one problem.
    We are subclassing some objects from template.fmb to all the forms.
    But when we open any form in 10G Form Builder,all the subclassed object refernces remain missing.
    I have put all the objects,PLLs in the FORMS_PATH.
    But still the problem is there.
    For Form6i…PLLs and template.fmb are stored in the database.
    so can we store template form into database ?
    Can i save template.fmb to database using Forms10g ?
    Give me guideline.
    Onkar

    i thought the last version, where you can store templates in the db was 4.5. Please search in metalink, so that you find a white paper for switching the template from db to filesystem
