Migration from forms under unix

I want to transport my oracle database 6, Oracle Forms and Oracle Report from Unix operating System to Windows NT.
Is it possible?
Kindly guide me
Thanx

Other people can help you with the database conversion, but I believe that an export and then an import will get you going.
For the Forms, just FTP the FMBs to the NT then regenerate them into FMX, same for PLLs, MMBs, etc. Have a look at the help topic "Upgrading from a Previous Release", you may want to use the FORMS60_DEFAULTFONT if the screen fonts look strange.
For the reports, you may have to change uifont.ali in c:\orant\tools\common60 to get the correct fonts for NT. I also set ALL reports to have PDF output. This gets around the portrait / landscape printing problem. Reports will NOT reset the orientation of NT printers, Abode PostScript WILL reset the orientation. Also the user can 'resize' the report on printing. You can also read emailed PDFs more easily than the standard ReportWriter output.

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
--     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?');
          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')
LOOP
rep_status := report_object_status(v_rep);
END LOOP;
IF rep_status = 'FINISHED' THEN
/*Display report in the browser*/
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('http://devserver:7778/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||
substr(v_rep,instr(v_rep,'_',-1)+1)||'?'||'server=rep_devserver','_blank');
ELSE
message('Error when running report');
END IF;
END;

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,

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.

thanks in advance.

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:

Pb with compiling form under unix

Hi
I tried to compile a form under unix. I got an error saying that it can't find a function which is in a PL SQL library .
All the Pll's files and the Fmb's are in the same directory. I put this directory in the forms_path ( default.env) but still got the same error
Is there any configuration file that I should set ?
Thanks

the default-env setting is only relevant for the runtime. For compile-time, you should set the environment-variable FORMS_PATH and export it.

Migration from Form 4.5 to 6.0 PLS-00363

Hello everyone,
I have a pll in Form 4.5 and now want to migrate to Form 6.0. When I compile it appears an this error:
PLS-00363: expression str cannot be used as an assignment target
Cause: A literal, constant, IN parameter, loop counter, or function call was mistakenly used as the target of an assignment. For example, the following statement is illegal because the assignment target, 30, is a literal:
SELECT deptno INTO 30 FROM dept WHERE ... -- illegal
Action: Correct the statement by using a valid assignment target.
This is an example:
TYPE Tday IS RECORD(
num number(2);
month varchar(20);
year number(4);
FUNCTION get_day (day IN Tday,...)
Begin
c_error := calcultate_year(pyear);
day.year := year;
End;
What do I should to do?
Thanks for the help!
null

you define day as an IN parameter, so you're not allowed to change it's value. You could define it as IN OUT.

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.

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.
