Migration from Forms 9i to forms 10g (10.1.2)

I am planning for migration activites from Forms 9i and Reports 9i to Oracle 10g Forms and Reports ( Rel 2 i.e. 10.1.2).
What are new or removed from 10g forms and repots which was there in Forms 9i ?
Is there any difference between these two versions ? If No then why there are two diff versions in 10g Forms itself (9.0.4 and 10.1.2)
Which version of JInitiator I have to use for forms 10g ?

The versioning scheme is confusing I agree. 9.0.4 and 10.1.2 are the real versions. 10g versions are marketing driven versions.
10.1.2 is a major revision which means that you have to recompile your forms (if made in earlier versions of Forms) to make them run. 10.1.2 is built on a new version of the required support files (PLSQL for example).
You can use any supported version of Jinitiator that you like.

How to Migrate Oracle Forms 10g 9.0.4 to 10.1.2

Hi I would like to find information on what is necessary to do in order to migrate Forms 10g 9.0.4 to 10.1.2.
Do I need to use Oracle Migration assistant ?
Is it enough only compile forms ?
Where I find documentation on how to execute this migration. I am only find documentatio to migrate from 6i to 10g, but I need documentation to migrate from Forms 10g 9.0.4 to 10.1.2.

Hi,
Thank you for the answer about Oracle forms.
Now I would like ask another question but this time for Oracle Application Server. As we have Oracle forms 10g 9.0.4 we also use the Application Server with this same version.
Do you have any recommendations on how to Migrate the Oracle Application Server from 10g 9.0.4 to 10.1.2 ?
Thank you .

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).

MIgration from forms 6i to 10g - Webutil migration also required?

Do we need to migrate webutil.pll and webutil.olb files as well during migration?

Best regards,
I have a tool to migrate from Forms & Reports Ordem call, which allows the automatic migration of Oracle Forms Developer written in versions 3.0, 4.5, 5.0, 6i or 9i to the latest version Oracle Forms Developer 10g to 10g or JAVA .
If you require more information from our tool I can send information to e [email protected] and gladly put myself in communication with you and review the issue in detail.

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:

REP 110 & REP 0110 .calling reports from Form 10g(10.1.2.0.2)

Hi All,
We are migrating form from Oracle form 6i to Oracle 10g(10.1.2.0.2). I am calling reports from forms
using Web.Show_Docment(). When we run reports in report builder 10g it works fine.
But when we try to run reports from Forms 10g it throws error which is given below.
We want to run reports from UNIX. After using this url to submit report we get error REP 110 and REP 0110
URL
http://GEM:7777/reports/rwservlet?server=rep_server&report=/u01/forms/QA_Forms10g/GEMREP.rdf+DESTYPE=CACHE+DESFORMAT=HTML+p_user_id=XYZ+p_client=2
ERROR

I will really appreciate your help.

Hello,
You are mixing 2 separators in the URL : & and +
Use only one separator in the URL :
Example :

How to connect to SQL Server from Forms 10g?

Hello all,
How do we connect to SQL Server database from Forms 10g?
In Oracle Metalink site they have suggested using Transparent Gateway for SQL Server as a solution.
But is there a way we can connect directly to SQL Server from Forms using an ODBC connection
without installing anything on the database server?
Pls help!
Regards,
Sam

Hello all,
I was able to connect to SQL Server from Oracle using Generic Connectivity (HSODBC).
Transparent gateway was not required.
Followed metalink note 109730.1
So, after I created a dblink to SQL Server, I created a synonym for the dblinked SQL Server table.
When I used the synonym as the table source in Oracle Forms, I got the following error while querying.
"ORA-02070 - ROWID is not supported in this context."
This is because Forms has an invisible ROWID field and when data is fetched from SQL Server table
no Rowid is fetched since SQL Server table doesn't have one.
Is there a way to overcome this issue or do we have populate the block manually using a SQL query ?
Pls suggest.
Regards,
Sam

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;

               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');

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

DB-link is not connected from Forms 10g

Hi,
I have created the db-link(visdev) from mytest schema to APPS schema -- created successfully
->Login to mytest schema and ran the query: select * from all_objects@dblink -- Return values.
-> I have used the same dblink with below code from Forms 10g (Datablock - Pre-insert trigger)
cursor_handle := dbms_sql.open_cursor;
dbms_sql.parse(cursor_handle, 'select decode(object_type,''TABLE'',''T'',''VIEW'',''V'',null) col1 from all_objects'||'@'||db-link, 1);
dbms_sql.define_column(cursor_handle,1,col1,30);
execute_feedback := dbms_sql.execute (cursor_handle);
execute_feedback := dbms_sql.fetch_rows(cursor_handle);
dbms_sql.column_value(cursor_handle,1,col1);
Its throws error in Pre-insert trigger : select decode(object_type,'TABLE','T','VIEW','V',null) col1 from all_objects@db-link ---- Not return values -- error out
I found this error using log message.
Can you please help us... its very critical for us.

In terms of trying to debug this why don't you login to your schema and create a view:
create view testview as select * from all_objects@dblink
and deal with that instead?
(You would need to grant permissions to that view.)
I mean as a way to keep the complex dbms_sql out of the loop and look
more to permissions and schema issues. In the long term the view hard codes the structure and is
not a good solution if the structure changes. I just mean as a test.
BTW you know there is an all_objects already? Didn't know if you meant that literally or not.
You could not use that name.

Migrate from forms 3.0 to forms 7.0

I want to know ho to go about for migrating from forms 3.0
to forms 7.0?
Also I want to know what does the object type
sqr,rpt,pc & ext stand for?
thanks in advance.
Regards,
Debasish.

FIrst thing, there is no Forms 7 - the next release of Forms aftre 6i will be Oracle9i Forms.
Anyway to migrate a Form I would suggest looking at the OTN papers as we have a note on migrating Forms 3 -> Forms 6.
otn.oracle.com/products/forms
You will have to do this before you migrate to Oracle 9i Forms.
