Oracle 10g vs forms 6i

Hi
can we use oracle 10g with forms 6i or we need to upgrade from forsm 6i to forms 9i ???
is there any links which i can get more information
thanks
kedar

Kedar, you can use forms6i with Oracle database 10g without upgrade.
compatibility issue comes not with the database becuase database is global and accessible to applications not developed in forms but with the application server.
you cannot host forms6i with Oracle application server 9i rel2 onwards. it has to be in forms9i and above.
But this is valid only if you are working with web based application.
client server should go well.

Oracle 10g db & forms in server 2008 64bit

hi,
im using Oracle 10g db & forms 32bit version in windows server 2003 32 bit version.
now we are planning to upgrade server with windows server 2008 64bit.
what are the things to be taken care since we have to import data from other 2003 32bit servers having 32bit version of oracle.
anyhow 64bit oracle is required right? and if im installing this any mismatch will be there with oracle 32bit data and 64bit data while importing?
pls mention the difference between oracle 32bit and 64bit if any..
pls help..!!

ORA-03106 Error when connecting to Oracle 10g from Forms 6i

I have migrated my database from Oracle 8.0.5 to Oracle 10g, version 10.0.1.0.3 through import-export utility. During migration, one difference I made was to change the NLS_LANG to UTF8 from ANSI.
The NLS_LANG for client is AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE81S08859P1.
I am using HP ML370 Proliant Server and running Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 3 with Oracle 10g
My client-server application is based on Oracle Developer version 2.1. I am using forms 5.0 and reports 3.0 only.
The problem with me is that the client-server application is working against the upgraded database, but with greatly downgraded speed. The .fmb files cannot be compiled, however some of the .rdf files are compiled successfully, but remaining not.
My question is that is Developer 2000 (Forms 5.0.6 and Reports 3.0.5) compatable with Oracle 10 database, as my application is running very slow ?
I tried Forms 6i to remove this problem. I used Forms Developer 6i Recut version and successfully installed on Windows XP, however, when try to create connection using Net 8 Easy Utility, the connection does not establish with following error:
ORA-03106 : fatal two-task communication protocol error
The entry has been checked in tnsnames.ora and is found correct. I also tried connecting through SQL, but the application closes.
The patch set 17 for installation on Windows XP has also been applied, but still the same error persits.
The same installation has also been checked on Windows 2000, but the same problem persists.
I would be thankful if any one provide me solution for the same. Where I am mistaken and what do I do to get out of this problem.
Regards
Naveen.

Naveen,
Forms 5.0 is not certified and not tested with Oracle DB 10g because it was desupported before 10g got released.
The other problem is hard to give a generic answer for and I suggest to address this to metalink.oracle.com

Oracle 10g rel2 Forms on windows Vista (Patches7047034 and Opatch 6880880).

Hello All,
I have been trying to apply patch 7047034 by using Opatch Universal Installer (Opatch 6880880). But I have not been able to do this. The main reason of applying this patch is to enable my forms 10.1.2.0.2 to be upgraded to 10.1.2.3., so that it can run on windows vista with Internet explorer 7.
At the momment it does not run the forms it just show a grey page after trying to run the Test.fmx form.
If I try to run any other form it comes up with an ORA-12560 :TNS: Protocol Adapter Error.
When I click on the ok button, it comes up with the login page. When I try to re-login without entring the connect identifier it comes up with thesame error message ORA-12560 :TNS: Protocol Adapter Error.
But when i try relogin using a connect identifier it comes up with ORA-12154: TNS: Could not resolve connect identifier specified. Then a grey page is all i see on the screen. I found that a bit strange since am already logged on, on forms 10g. Why is is it still asking me for further credentials.
Having read several literature from the forum i thought the patch was what i needed. And this is what i did to apply the patch.
After setting environment variable ORACLE_HOME
C:\DevSuiteHome_1>set ORACLE_HOME=c:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1
C:\DevSuiteHome_1>cd opatch
C:\DevSuiteHome_1\OPatch>set ACTIVE_STATE__PERL=TRUE
C:\DevSuiteHome_1\OPatch>opatch apply c:\DevSuiteHome_1\OPatch\p7047034_10105_WI
NNT
"OPatch could not detect Perl. Please set PERL5LIB appropriately and invoke Perl
"OPatch is certified with Perl Version 5.6.1."
"Invoke OPatch manually using the following command format:"
" <path to Perl>/perl <path to OPatch>/opatch.pl <patch command> [options]"
"You can use the following command format to view help information:"
" <path to Perl>/perl <path to OPatch>/opatch.pl [<patch command>] -help"
OPatch returns with error code = 0
I also noticed that the PERL directory has version 5.8.3 instead of the 5.6.1
I had gone on the perl website to download perl 5.6.1, but i found the following
Latest stable version of ActivePerl 5.6: 5.6.1 build 638
Gzipped tarball (Unix)
Zip file (Windows)
Patch against Perl 5.6.1 sources
I do not know which one to download. Is it the zip file for windows or the Patch against perl 5.6.1
Please does anybody have any idea what i need to do.
Thanks in advance
Cheers

Hello Hsawwan,
Thanks for your reply. It is not part of Oracle E-Business. But this is Oracle Forms Application server release 10.1.2.0.2, and oracle Database 10g. rel2, installed seperatelly. I can connect ok to the database from forms 10g. But when it comes to running the forms, the browser comes up and i can see the java sign on the browser, after that it prompts me for username, password and connect identifier. As mentioned earlier, when i supply 2 criteria ie, the username scott, and password tiger I get ORA-12560: TNS: Protocol Adapter error. However, when i supply all 3 questions, ie username, password and connect identifier- ORCL, I get error message
ORA- 12154: TNS: Could not resolve the connect identifier specified.
Also i need to download Perl 5.6.1, does any body knows where i can download this?
Because the I currently have perl 5.8.3 and opatch is pointing to perl 5.6.1.
The site i found has error cannot display page.
Also where is the application env file located, and what should i be setting in this file.
Sorry for the long explanation. I hope I am making some sense.
Thanks in advance
Cheers

Need Oracle 10g/11g Form Builder Kit

I am planning to give an exame !Z0-141 for Oracle form developer. I don't have Oracle Official Kit. If anyone has and interested to sale me, please let me know. You can reach me at my personel email [email protected]

The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence. Well, in my opinion, a higher market share does not reflect the quality or reliability of a product. Take MS Windows for example. Unfortunately, the reason for success is often not due to knowledge and experience, but rather due to fear and sheep effect or herd behavior.
Perhaps you can use other arguments or questions to help you to make a decision, eg.:
Oracle has a better understanding of what Oracle products require than Red Hat.
Oracle takes full responsibility for the OS and Database, no finger pointing.
Oracle tries to provide a better product than the RHEL kernel.
The Oracle UEK kernel contains Oracle driver software, not available for RHEL 6 or later.
Oracle updates are free of charge, RHEL requires a subscription.
Oracle as a company is about 20 times bigger than Red Hat.
There can be reasons that require the use of the original RHEL kernel, for instance if the vendor of a specific driver for your hardware demands it. But otherwise...

Does Oracle 10g work with Windows 7?

Hi All,
I am using windows 7 ultimate 32 bit edition. does oracle 10g and forms & Reports 10g work with that? plz tell me.

Are you asking whether it is certified (i.e. whether Oracle has tested it and verified that it works)? Or are you asking whether it is an unsupported configuration that happens to work (more or less)?
Oracle hasn't certified any available version of Oracle on Windows 7. It is projecting that 11.2 will be certified on Windows 7. So it's not a supported configuration. Now, it's entirely possible that it could be installed and might work reasonably well. But I'd expect that a few things wouldn't work-- whether those are features you happen to be using, though, is a different question.

Count Hits not displaying the list in Oracle 10g

Hi all,
I have a form that is been converted into ORacle 10g from Forms 6i. When the count hits is executed from the action > Query menu, the no of records that will be fetched is not displayed, instead "press F7 for query, and F8 to execute query" is displayed. The same form in 6i works fine.
Please let me know, is there any settings in Oracle 10g related to this, or a way out to solve this.
Thanks,
Gopal.

Hi Arun,
Thanks for your suggestion.
I did compile using both the methods (compile_all=yes on linux and also compile all and generating the .fmx through Form builder), but both in cases, the result is the same, no count is displayed.
I have tried with F12 also but did not get the count.
Any Suggestions?
Thanks,
Gopal

Problem calling a form from another form in oracle 10g

hi,
i have created A basic STUDENT form with all fields and the STUDENT/COURSES master/detail form .
I am trying to place to button on the STUDENT form that when pressed, will call the STUDENT/COURSES form and automatically query the COURSES for the employee being viewed on the STUDENT form.
here is the code i used
DECLARE
     pl_id ParamList;
BEGIN
     pl_id := Get_Parameter_List('tmpdata');
IF NOT Id_Null(pl_id) then
          Destroy_Parameter_list (pl_id);
     end if;
     pl_id := create_parameter_list ('tmpdata');
     add_parameter (pl_id, 'students_id',text_parameter, :s_id);
     run_product (forms, 'C:resubmission\stucourse.fmb', synchronous, runtime,
     filesystem, pl_id, null);
end;
although it successfully compiled,
when i press the button on the form it is giving me
frm-92101 : there was a failure in the forms sever during start up...
i have tried everything i can think off, am fairly new to this
please any assistance will be appreciated. am using oracle 10g
thanks in advance.

Ammad is right, in order to pass a parameter to another Form, the Form you call must have a corresponding parameter. In other words, if you go to the Parameters node of the Object Navigator you need to add a parameter called "STUDENTID" and set the data type and precision of the parameter to match the data you will pass to this parameter.
Once you have this parameter in your called form, you will have to write code in the called form to use the value of the parameter. This code is typically in the When-New-Form-Instance (WNFI) trigger, but that all depends on your requirements. In your example, this seems the appropriate trigger as your intent is to pass the Student ID and query any Courses the Student is enrolled in. Your WNFI trigger needs to check if there is a value in the Student_ID parameter and then set the default where clause of your COURSES datablock and execute a query on the block. For example:
/* Sample WNFI trigger */
/* This example "ASSUMES" your courses block is called COURSES */
BEGIN
   IF ( :parameter.STUDENT_ID IS NOT NULL ) THEN
      Set_Block_Property('COURSES', OneTime_W.here, 'STUDENT_ID = :Parameter.Student_ID');
      Execute_Query;
   END IF;
END;
Note: I had to put a period into the "OneTimeW.here" statement in order to get the Editor to accept my post. Please remove the period if you use this sample code.
Hope this helps,

Creating trace file in oracle 10g forms

hii there,
I have developed an application in oracle 10g. but it's too slow . Now i have to trace forms . How can trace oracle forms.
please send it in details as early as possible. I don't know about this trace file generation.
-----Sachin

Hi,
To run SQL trace for a form :
a. Get to the point in the form where you want to turn trace on.
For example, if the problem occurs on the commit, wait until you are
ready to commit, THEN turn trace on.
b. Turn tracing on. In GUI versions: Help - Tools - Trace, enable tracing.
c. Execute the steps you want to trace.
d. Turn tracing off. In GUI versions: Help - Tools - Trace, disable tracing.
The trace file will be written to the subdirectory specified in the
'user_dump_dest' parameter in the INIT.ORA file.

Iconic file in oracle 10g forms

hii,,
i am a new user in oracle 10g form,,,here i am running a form & placing all the icons in a folder,after that i changed the iconic file path in the default.env file,the path is same where the icons are kept,,but still i am unable to see the icons at the run time,,,,,
do i need to modify some other file or the icons will be kept at some particaular place????
plzzzz help.....

hi
1 How to Display Iconic Images Using Forms 9.0.x/ 10.x?
When running an Oracle Forms 9i/10g application the icon files used must be in a web enabled
format such as JPG or GIF (GIF is the default format) (This is unlike older versions of forms running in client-server mode when the file format is .ico.)
Icon image files can either be retrieved by Forms as individual files on the filesystem or from a Java Archive (JAR file).
If an application uses lots of icon images it is recommended that they are stored in a JAR file to reduce the number of HTTP round trips.
Reference:Note 232413.1 How to Deploy Iconic Images via a JAR File in Forms 9i/10g?
The example below details steps to configure iconic images as individual gif or jpeg files.
It is a first approach recommended for initial testing and understanding.
Example:
========
This document has been written for use with both Windows and UNIX operating systems: Windows will use the "\" character to delimit directories and UNIX uses the "/" character. Any other differences are noted in the document.
1) Determine the physical location of the icons on your web server. For this example, assume that the icons are stored in D:\Myfiles\icons.
2) Create the virtual directory in the forms90.conf file that point to the location of your Forms 9i/10g icons. This file is located in:
$ORACLE_HOME\forms90\server\forms90.conf
To define a virtual directory forms90/icons, use the following syntax:
# Virtual path for ICONS (used to show icons in a form ) AliasMatch ^/forms90/icons/(..*) "D:\Myfiles/icons/$1"
Below is an example of the forms90.conf after it has been modified to include the /forms90/icons virtual directory.
# Virtual path mapping for Forms Java jar and class files (codebase) AliasMatch ^/forms90/java/(..*) "E:\IASR2\APP/forms90/java/$1" # Virtual path for JInitiator downloadable executable and download page AliasMatch ^/forms90/jinitiator/(..*) "E:\IASR2\APP/jinit/$1" # Virtual path for runform.htm (used to run a form for testing purposes) AliasMatch ^/forms90/html/(..*) "E:\IASR2\APP/tools/web90/html/$1"
# Virtual path for ICONS (used to show icons in a form ) AliasMatch ^/forms90/icons/(..*) "D:\Myfiles/icons/$1"
( For 10g use instead of "forms90" -> "forms")
3) Direct forms to use the /forms90/icons or /forms/icons virtual directory when running on the web by modifying the Registry.dat file in the $ORACLE_HOME\forms90\java\oracle\forms\registry or $ORACLE_HOME\forms\java\oracle\forms\registry
directory. Note that for UNIX, both the path name and file name are case sensitive. You must specify "Registry.dat".
Modify the default.icons.iconpath entry as follows: default.icons.iconpath=http:///forms90/icons/ or default.icons.iconpath=http:///forms/icons/
If the URL used to bring up forms on the web is: http://abc.oracle.com:7778/forms90/f90servlet or http://abc.oracle.com:7778/forms/frmservlet
Then the entry required for the Registry.dat will be: default.icons.iconpath=http://abc.oracle.com:7778/forms90/icons or default.icons.iconpath=http://abc.oracle.com:7778/forms/icons default.icons.iconextension=gif
4) Now use EM Website to: a) Restart the OC4J-BI-Forms Instance b) Restart the BI-FORMS HTTP Server Instance.
5) Verify that the virtual directory has been defined properly and that the icons can be viewed in a browser.
Assuming that exeqry.gif exists in the D:\Myfiles\icons directory, the following URL should show the icon:
http://abc.oracle.com:7778/forms90/icons/exeqry.gif or http://abc.oracle.com:7778/forms/icons/exeqry.gif
6) Check the form : http://abc.oracle.com:7778/forms90/f90servlet?form=D:\Testcases\F90\ICON_CHECK_IASR2.fmx or http://abc.oracle.com:7778/forms/frmservlet?form=D:\Testcases\F10g\ICON_CHECK_IASR2.fmx
CHECKLISTS
=============
Icons do not appear in the browser using the URL:
o Verify that you are using the correct machine name and port for the OC4J_BI_Forms object.
o Check the virtual directory name to make sure that there are no typographical errors. o Check for typographical errors in the forms90.conf or forms.
conf for the virtual directory. o Check the name of the icon on the file system. If the file is saved as Exeqry.gif, then it will not be found using the URL http://abc.oracle.com:7778/forms90/ Close all your browser sessions and open a new browser window.
Execute the URL to bring up from the Form Builder runtime or from the browser.
