Migration from Oracle Forms to Oracle Apex 3.2
Hi I am learning Apex, I mainly work in Oracle developer. I have converted one Oracle form into Oracle Apex. the migrated Form appears on the screen,works, but not as I like it to be. All the triggers are migrated into Apex but they don't work as they did in Oracle Form. I cant make the form work as it should be. please help.

Triggers in forms will NOT work EXACTLY like they do in Forms, that is the nature of the beast.. APEX runs under a browser and you are running with html events to trap on..
Suggestion, the Forms conversion tools converts only so much, you will have to do some work to get what you want. Also, I would suggest re-evaluating your application, since it was probably a client server based application, moving it to the web will involve some re-engineering..
Thank you,

Migrate from Ingres DB to Oracle
Hi Friends,
I have to migrate from Ingres DB to Oracle and the application developed by Oracle Forms.How can we do this any process of docs.
From my research,I came to know about Transparent gateways,But Oracle will support for this or not I'm not sure.Any such experience shared
will be really useful.
Regards.We have two more customers that currently are in the process of upgrading from MS SQL but as far as I know no one has actually performed an upgrade this far.
If you want to upgrade to OIM 9.1 you will have to wait until the upgrade scripts are available (estimated arrival H2 2008 according to the latest info I have).
If you would like to discuss this further send me an email on firstname.lastname@my_company.com (you can get the "variables" from my forum profile)
Best regards

Questions on the comparison between Oracle Forms and Oracle APEX
Hi All,
The link below presents information about Oracle Application Express for Oracle Forms Developers, the table at the end of the page shows a comparison between Oracle Forms and Oracle APEX, all the points of comparisons are clear for me except 3 points which are:
•Locking, what is meant by locking models?
•Database Connections, what is meant by Synchronous/Asynchronous connections in Oracle Forms and Oracle Apex?
•Architecture, what is meant by 2tier and 3 tier connections?
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/apex_for_forms.html
What I need is a simple explanation for these points without deep details.
ThanksHi
That is how I understand that document:
Locking: Forms, by default, locks a row as soon as the user starts modifying the data. That is pessimistic locking. Apex, on other hand (and optionally forms also) do not lock the record, but before applying any changes checks if the data has changed since the user queried it (what for some reason is called optimistic "locking")
DB connections: I am not sure why they used the terms synchronous/asynchronous, but the difference is that Forms, by default, keeps an permanent DB connection while the user is using the application, while Apex gets a connection from a connection pool every time a page is requested/submitted.
Architecture: Forms (in its web version at least) has 3 tiers: the browser, the appserver where the forms service runs and the database. As Apex runs inside the database, there are only 2 tiers: the browser and the database (though you still may need an http server in between which serves static content, I don't think it is considered part of the application in this context). If you are talking about client/server forms, then there are only 2 tiers.
I hope this helps!

Problems while migrating from mySql DB to oracle DB
Hi All,
I'm using sql developer tool to migrate from MySql DB to oracle DB. I followed the below steps.
1) I've created oracle and mysql connections successfully.
2) I've captured Mysql data and I'm able to see the captured model in ' Captured Models ' window. After that right clicked on the captured model and selected ' Set Data Mapping'. Selected ' apply ' button without changing anything. After that I've right clicked on the captured model and selected ' Convert to Oracle Model ' . It has shown the converting process. After some time it has shown conversion completed successfully.
But converted model is not visible in ' Converted Models ' window.
Can anyone kindly assist on how to migrate from MySql Db to Oracle DB?
Thanks,
Saty.Hi,
We did mysql to oracle migration some time back and played with workbench tool and many other softwares available.
However our experience was not so good with these tools, each tool had its own limitation and was not able to migrate 100% data. Even the speed of migration was too slow which would have violated our production SLAs.
So after spending a month with these tools we finally decided to create our own scripts for data migration. We used tools like TOAD and SQL Yok to create the DDL for the tables and other DB objects.
For the data migration we downloaded the mysql data in flat files and used sql loader to upload the same data in oracle. Even if this was a time consuming activity but this resulted in 100% data migration with no record getting failed and the time taken for this activity was around 6 Hrs in comparison to time of 24-28 Hrs that the workbench tool took.

Migration of older version Oracle forms to Oracle 6i/9i

Migrating from SQL Server to Oracle 8i
Hi all :),
I am trying to migrate from SQL Server to Oracle 9i.
I am using the Migration Workbench.
Everything goes fine during Capturing phase, but while
creating Oracle model the Workbench just hangs at
"Mapping Tablespaces" for over three hours.
(not exactly hangs in the sense that it responds to mouse
events and I can abort the ongoing activity ...)
What should I do ? Should I let it go on and see what
happens.
I follow each and every step as mentioned in the
documentation ... but obviously I am doing something
wrong. Any pointers ???
However ... if I try to migrate to Personal Oracle 8 ...
the migration goes fine from start to end ... just that
the SQL Server triggers aren't successfully migrated.You may want to start by downloading the Oracle Migration Workbench. That generally does a reasonable job in moving the tables, stored procedures, etc. from SQL Server to Oracle. If your VB code is database agnostic, it should continue to work without any more intervention. Realistically, however, you'll rpobably have to at least tweak a few things that don't work the same way in the old ODBC/ OLE DB provider and the new one.
The hard part of migrations like this is that you may need to revisit some of your architectural decisions if you want Oracle to perform well. There are plenty of things that one does in SQL Server (i.e. frequent commits) to improve performance that have the opposite affect in Oracle. Identifying and fixing these sorts of things tends to be the largest part of a migration like this. Unfortunately, I don't know of a resource that talks addresses all the possible gotchas here.

Is it possible to migrate from Redhat Linux to Oracle Linux on servers in a Data Center that don't have an internet connection? If so, what is the process?
In my case, tunnel.
Have ssh. Can travel.
Can you ssh into the server? Even via multiple hops? Then you can hook that server up to your Internet connection.
Simple example. Your desktop have Internet connectivity via web proxy 10.1.2.3 on port 8080. Your desktop can reach the server via ssh.
From your desktop, ssh into the server and reverse tunnel Internet connectivity
ssh -R 7777:10.1.2.3:8080 root@server
This creates a tunnel on port 7777 on server - and tunnel traffic on that port to your desktop. Arriving at your desktop, that tunneled traffic is send to the web proxy server 10.1.2.3 on port 8080.
On server, set the proxy variable so that yum, wget and other Internet usage/dependent commands know how to reach the Internet. And the proxy on the sever is the tunnel on port 7777. Thus:
export http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:7777
export https_proxy=https://127.0.0.1:7777
Use wget google.com to test tunneled access to the Internet. And Bob is not only your uncle, but gives you slack. -
Migration from SQL7.0 To Oracle & Uni-code Characters
Hi..
I faced one problem in migration from SQL7.0 to Oracle using
Workbench, which is that all Arabic characters is comming
question marks after the migration.
So does Oracle Workbench supports two_byte code for internationl
languages..
nullHi Khalil,
Can you please e-mail [email protected] with answers to the
following questions. We will try and investigate this.
What is the structure of the SQL Server table?
What is the structure of the Oracle table?
Also, what character set did you create the Oracle database with?
What codepage was the SQL Server database?
Are the characters appearing as question marks in an application?
Regards

Oracle Forms and Oracle HTML DB
Hi,
can anyone please tell me the difference between oracle forms and oracle htmldb.
i need to create web applications to display data from database and upload newly entered data in to the database.
can the above be done by both forms and htmldb.
which one is better.Both can display data from the database via the web.
With the very little criteria you mentioned, I would recommend HTML DB. With more details about the requirements, I may change that recommendation.
I have been working with HTML DB off and on for about one year. I have taken one 3-day course. I have worked with Oracle Forms since 1987 version 2.0, so I know quite a bit about it.
Here are my reasons:
1.) File upload is easier in HTML DB. HTML DB provides an easy means for uploading a file to the database and processing it.
2.) HTML DB is included as part of the database product. There is no other licensing fee for it. Oracle Forms is part of the Oracle IDS product which a separate purchase from the database.
3.) For HTML DB all you need is the database and the HTTP server program running. It is easy to install, even for a DBA non-webmaster type person. (DBAs who are also webmasters please do not hammer me on this comment.) For Oracle Forms on the web, you need the Oracle Application Server up and running which is a major undertaking. It also needs its own Oracle database running for the infrastructure.
4.) Since you are asking about both, I would assume that you are not familiar with either product and will need to be trained. HTML DB is easier learn than Oracle Forms. Oracle Forms is very powerful, but with that power comes a lot to learn.
Oh yea, did I mention that if you own the Oracle database, you also own HTML DB!! ;) -

Oracle Forms and Oracle Reports as portlets
Please, where can I get the documentation to publish Oracle Forms and Oracle Reports as portlets. I found some information about it in metalink but the URLs are invalid.
Hi,
Here are the steps you need to follow while building Portlets .
1) After creating a Application,in the last step click on the Checkbox 'EXPOSE AS PROVIDER'.
If the application has already been created ,click on the same checkbox in the grant access section.
2) When creating a component within the application ,select the checkbox 'PUBLISH TO PORTAL'.
Incase ,you have already created the component then just click on the same option in the grant access section.
Now when you want to add these portlets to be part of a page .Just select the provider(Application) and the portlets under it.
Hope this helps.
