Migration to forms 9i

Hi,
We've recently begun migrating from forms 6i to 9i and have come up against a number of issues.
I've looked elsewhere on the web for information without any success so apologies if they appear a bit simple or have been discussed elsewhere:
1) performance is very slow, I expected this on screens with timers but even populating a field from an LOV can take 2/3 seconds.
2) is there a way to get the old forms function keys to work e.g. f8, f10, shift-f1 etc.?
3) is there a way to prevent users from closing the browser rather than using exit/logoff buttons?
If anybody has experienced these issues or has ideas I would be very grateful.
Regards
Sean Dwyer

I would expect that this is because you have different font/char sets installed on Linux from windows - you probably need to make sure you have the same available on both platforms....

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).

Migrating Oracle forms to APEX 3.2 without using Forms2XML tool

Can we migrate Oracle forms to APEX 3.2 without using Forms2XML tool?

Hi Anoo,
In order to convert Oracle Forms to Oracle Application Express, using the Forms Conversion utility in Oracle APEX 3.2, you are required to convert your Forms Module (FMB) files to XML format, using the Oracle Forms to XML conversion tool, Forms2XML. I would recommend that you review Chapter 4 [Converting an Oracle Forms Application|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14373_01/migrate.32/e13368/appmgr_forms.htm] , in the Oracle Application Express Migration Guide Release 3.2
If you have any further questions relating to the Oracle Forms to Oracle Application Express conversions, I would recommend that you refer to the [Application Express|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/forum.jspa?forumID=137] forum.
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Hilary

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');

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 .

Migrate Oracle Forms 4.5 to APEX

Hi Gurus,
We are in the process of migrating Oracle Forms 4.5 to Oracle APEX 3.2.1. In order to use the Forms to XML conversion tool, they say the Form version should be at least 6i.
I would be more grateful if somebody can get me Forms 4.5 to 6 or 9 migration guide and if possible some examples, so that I can proceed with this migration.
Any help on this would be very much appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,

Oracle supports there tools because there are often needs to move technologies. What made Forms the right choice 10 years ago may not mean it is the right choice now. Hence, it might make sense to switch. Any tool which can take you some of the way can be a help. However, we also have to be realistic on what these tools can do.
If you are aware that a tool takes you to a solution which is less than optimal than if you had designed it from scratch but its good enough for you then fine. If thats what you want and the tool does it for you then go for it.
My experience, and I'm fortunate to have worked with hundreds of Forms customers/projects is that the hype/excitement sometimes has to be balanced with some practical real world experience.
Even moving PL/SQL from Forms into the database is a difficult task and thats the same language.

Migrating Developer Forms to JDeveloper

I was given to understand that using the Wizard available in JDeveloper, one can migrate Developer Forms to JDeveloper.
Is this possible?. If so and anyone has done it, please let me know how to proceed.
Thanks

Meanwhile, our FormsWizard has matured to a tightly integrated
plug-in to JDeveloper.
The Wizard allows you to transform your fmb/mmb files to Java-
based applications. Apart from the data model, which is indeed
transformed to BC4J components, the Wizard also translates the
GUI to a Swing-based application or a JSP front-end.
PL/SQL code is also translated, although there are certain
limitations.

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.
