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,

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 for Oracle 9i

Hello,
I'm searching for Oracle forms and Oracle reports that works with Oracle 9i.
Does someone know where I can find them?
Thanks in advance...

When we talk about Oracle9i, we often mean the database version 9i.
Apparently you want to use Forms and Reports 9i, which included in the obsolete (and very unhappy) Application Server 9i. ... Or the also obsolete Application Server 10g Release 1 (aka App Server 9.0.4.
You are encouraged to look at Forms and Reports 10g (part of the improved Application Server 10g) which does connect to Oracle Database 9i as well as Oracle Database 10g. Look for App Server 10g Release 2, version 10.1.2.0.2 and 10.1.2.2)

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.
Thanks

Hi
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!

Oracle Forms and Oracle Reports interation without Oracle Portal

Hi to all

FRM-40011 Form was created by an older version of form

Hi all,
I got the message "FRM-40011 Form was created
by an older version of form builder" when I created a
form using form6i without the patch and ran it on 9iAS
Rrelease 2. So I applied patch 10 and compiled the
form and ran it again. But I still get the same error.
What am I missing?
Our 9iAs is on Win 2000 SP2(if it matters).
Thanks in advance
Yuga.

Hi,
if this problem occurs on teh Web, then the message normally is "Forms client" too old, which points to that the f60all.jar files used are not compatible with the patch version of the Forms Services. To fix this you would have to replavce f60all.jar with the version of the patch installed on teh server. Also clear the Jinitiator cache directory on the client (which must not be necessary).
Normally here is no difference between a Forms6i file created with the base release vs. one create with a patch set. So the problem must be in the configuration of your environmnet and my bet would be as mentioned above.

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.

Migrating VB Applications on SQL Server to Oracle Forms on Oracle 10g RAC

Hello All,
I am looking at migrating a VB application built on a SQL Server database across to an Oracle Forms deployment with the data migrated to an Oracle 10g RAC database environment.
My first question is whether the SQL Developer Migration Workbench can migrate the SQL Server data to a RAC environment?
The second question is to ask whether there are any "toolkits" or tips from the community migrating VB applications to Oracle Forms.
Any advise or suggestions greatly accepted.
Kind Regards,
Gary.

SQL Developer Migration Workbench definitely can migrate SQL Server data to Oracle RAC setup.
However, I don't think VB application can be easily converted to Oracle Forms.
You can post your question in Oracle Form forum to double check.

Toady i have installed oracle forms 10g and oracle 10g db when i run my form it gives me this error how can i resolve it
"ora-12154 tns could not resolve the connect identifier specified"
Here are the values in forms 10g tns
# tnsnames.ora Network Configuration File: C:\DevSuiteHome_1\network\admin\tnsnames.ora

What changes should i make to overcome this problem.

"ora-12154 tns could not resolve the connect identifier specified"The problem is local to the Forms Home, probably in tnsnames.ora (seems that there are tabs in IMS entry name). Carefully check it.$ oerr ora 12154
12154, 00000, "TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified"
// *Cause: A connection to a database or other service was requested using
// a connect identifier, and the connect identifier specified could not
// be resolved into a connect descriptor using one of the naming methods
// configured. For example, if the type of connect identifier used was a
// net service name then the net service name could not be found in a
// naming method repository, or the repository could not be
// located or reached.
// *Action:
//   - If you are using local naming (TNSNAMES.ORA file):
//      - Make sure that "TNSNAMES" is listed as one of the values of the
//        NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH parameter in the Oracle Net profile
//        (SQLNET.ORA)
//      - Verify that a TNSNAMES.ORA file exists and is in the proper
//        directory and is accessible.
//      - Check that the net service name used as the connect identifier
//        exists in the TNSNAMES.ORA file.
//      - Make sure there are no syntax errors anywhere in the TNSNAMES.ORA
//        file. Look for unmatched parentheses or stray characters. Errors
//        in a TNSNAMES.ORA file may make it unusable.
//   - If you are using directory naming:
//      - Verify that "LDAP" is listed as one of the values of the
//        NAMES.DIRETORY_PATH parameter in the Oracle Net profile
//        (SQLNET.ORA).
//      - Verify that the LDAP directory server is up and that it is
//        accessible.
//      - Verify that the net service name or database name used as the
//        connect identifier is configured in the directory.
//      - Verify that the default context being used is correct by
//        specifying a fully qualified net service name or a full LDAP DN
//        as the connect identifier
//   - If you are using easy connect naming:
//      - Verify that "EZCONNECT" is listed as one of the values of the
//        NAMES.DIRETORY_PATH parameter in the Oracle Net profile
//        (SQLNET.ORA).
//      - Make sure the host, port and service name specified
//        are correct.
//      - Try enclosing the connect identifier in quote marks.
//   See the Oracle Net Services Administrators Guide or the Oracle
//   operating system specific guide for more information on naming.

How to call Oracle Form within Oracle Form?

Hi,
I have a requirement to call a customized Oracle Form from standard Oracle Form (Special Information screen) and vice versa.
Then need to display the person detail accordingly.
Is it possible to be done? Appreciate guidance on this item.
Thanks and Regards,
SC

Veerendra,
Sounds like you are using the Oracle E-business Suite (EBS). If that is the case, opening a form is different in the EBS than it is in a non-EBS Forms application. You have the register the Custom Form in the EBS for starts.
This question should be posted in the General EBS Discussion forum not here. Also, I recommend you take a look at the Oracle Applications Documentation and find the "Oracle Applications Developer's Guide".

Share JVM on the client using ORACLE Forms on Oracle Application Server 10x

Hi All,
excuse the question, if it's wrong here:
We have a problem running an Oracle Forms Application on an Oracle Application Server 10.1.2.3
Local requirements do not allow multiple JVMs to run on the Client where the Oracle Forms Application is shown.
Is there any neat way to prevent Multiple Instances of a Forms Application to each run a JVM on the client ?
(Issue shows up on windows xp, iexplorer 8, ...)
Any help much appreciated.

Rephrasing...
You have a web server - Oracle Forms.
You want to prevent a user, which is accessing the web server, from opening more than one instance of IE (accessing the web server twice.)
I would suspect that the answer requires support from the web server. And if that is the answer then this becomes a specific question about Oracle Forms (and not a general one about java.)
