We've Planned to Migrate an existing C/S application from Developper 6 to Dvelopper suite 10G using AS.
Does any Documentation exist in order to check all the operations and cautions to perform that.
Thanks.

  • 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
    P_SERVER_NAME=rep_devserver P_ACTION=http://devserver:7778/reports/rwservlet?');

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

    ELSE
    message('Error when running report');

  • 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.

  • 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).

    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:

    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?

  • 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

    thanks in advance.
    Regards,

    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.

  • 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:

  • Pass the file id or a parameter from a report (10g) to the distribution.xml

    Is there any way to pass the file id or a parameter from a report (10g) to the distribution.xml file?

    Hi,
    Please review article ID 273960.1 on metalink.
    The article actually describes an issue one may run into while enabling a reports distribution xml file to accept dynamic values, but you can extract the answer you're looking for by studying the above mentioned note.

  • Running first Form from Form Builder 10g

    Hi. I've upgraded my first 6i form to 10g. In Form Builder 10g (for Windows) I execute the form and it opens it in my Internet Explorer (IE) window instead of the traditional Oracle Run-time window.
    This is fine, except IE has a large header area that includes items like the Internet Address Field, the Search Field, the Back and Forward buttons, various icon buttons for printing, finding, the Tabbed Windows, the home button, etc.... With all this additional space taken up in the browser I don't have as much room for my canvas to display.
    Does this mean I have to adjust the canvas size for all my existing forms to fit this smaller IE area or can I somehow free up more space in the IE window by hidding all these default IE items?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

    Add these to your WHEN-NEW-FORM_INSTANCE trigger:
    -- browser (main) window
    set_window_property(forms_mdi_window, window_state, maximize);
    --inner window
    set_window_property('YOUR_WINDOW', window_state, maximize);

  • Data migration from Forms to Reports

    Hello,
    Does anyone know how to migrate numerous data from Oracle forms to reports, without using parameter lists or parameters, and also withour the use of temporary tables since my platform is 8.0.6 and forms 4.5?
    Thanks for any replies

    hi daniel,
    you could write your data from forms into a text file. seperate
    the values using for example a comma (or something else).
    use the text datasource in reports 9i to query directly from
    this file.

  • Can I call a report in Reports 6i from Forms Services 10g?

    Hi there,
    I was wondering if I could call a report in Reports 6i from my application in Forms Services 10g. If so, how could I do it?
    Thanks!

    In Forms 6i you probably did use RUN_PRODUCT to call reports. In 9i onwards you should use RUN_REPORT_OBJECT instead.
    See http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/pdf/10g/frm10gsrw10g.pdf
    Note that you should be able to run RDF files without any conversion.
