Oracle 6i Forms Developer on Oracle Client 9

Someone help me please...
I have an Oracle Client 9i running in my machine and tried to install 5 times the Oracle 6i Forms Developer adn it's not working! I can't even open the Net 8 Easy Config or the SQL config to fix my TNSORA...
I have installed ORacle 6i Forms Developer on a different HOME!
HELP! HELP! HELP!

Thank you so much for replying! I'm on a hurry and panicking when I posted my request! The fact is I'm trying to install the Forms6i Developer on my Windows XP. Is it true that Forms6i are not compatible with XP and you need the Patch 13 (6.0.8.22)? Where can I download it?
Help me please?

  • Can't find how and where to downaload the Oracle Client 8i and Developer 6i

    All,
    I am looking for downloads at OTN for the following.
    1. Oracle Client 8i
    2. Oracle Forms and Reports 6i
    I had them installed on my m/c but lately I have been getting SQL*Net connection failures. I have been suggested to install the whole developer tools again.
    Any help in this regard is appreciated.
    Regards,
    Susheel K Raina.

    Here is the link - I just verify prior to posting it here.
    http://otn.oracle.com/software/products/forms/content.html
    For the Oracle 8i client, download the 8i database server and do a custom installation - client installation is one of the options.
    hope this proves useful
    regards

  • How to make Oracle Developer Suite use different Oracle client version

    Hello,
    I have installed Oracle Developer Suite 10g (9.0.4) on Win7 32bit
    When I run Oracle Forms or Oracle Reports or any DB tool (like SQL Navigator or PL/SQL Developer) and trying to connect to remote Oracle DB 10g (10.2.0.5.0) I get an error ORA-02248: invalid option for ALTER SESSION.
    Then I've installed Oracle Instant Client 10.1.0.4.0 and made DB tools use this client and error was gone, but I still get that error using Forms and Reports.
    So my qustion is, can I make Oracle Forms and Reports use any other Oracle Client but that was installed with Oracle Developer Suite? Or any other suggestions are welcome how to fix connection issue in Forms and Reports?
    I have read many threads and some suggested to set NLS_LANG. Done that, but it didn't help :(

    The better question is why are you trying to use an obsolete Oracle product on such a new OS and expecting it to work properly? Are you also using MS Office 95 on this machine? Attempting to hack a solution is fine if you are just learning to use a product or just playing around. However, I would never recommend attempting to do what you are doing.
    Oracle Forms 9.x was desupported years ago, long before Windows 7 was released. Trying to use it in this manner is risky at best and not something that should be done in a professional environment. If you are a student or just home user trying to learn on your own, I would recommend that you use a virtualization product like Oracle Virtual Box and create a vm of an older OS. For example XP, then install on that platform. If you are a licensed user of Win 7 Pro or higher, I believe Microsoft is still giving away (for free) "XP Mode". Details here:

  • Oracle JDeveloper or Forms Developer

    Hi all,
    I am currently developing web based application using JDeveloper with BC4J and JSP. Somehow I have seen the demo on Oracle web site of web based application develop using Forms Developer and deploy to 9iAS with applet use for creating user interface on the web browser. You seem to be able to create better interface with Forms Developer (it is like running windows user interface on the web browser). So I would like to ask any experienced Oracle Developer to give some pros and cons of these two approach and how it migth be integrated to create a powerful web application. Please shed some light on this matter, this would be greatly appreciated.
    Regards

    Check out http://otn.oracle.com/products/forms/htdocs/FormsJavaSOD.html - this touches on the differences between JDeveloper and Forms as a development tool.
    Forms uses PL/SQL for its business logic where as JDeveloper uses Java. You can still build "Forms like" applications in JDeveloper as well - this is a feature called JClient which allows you to build Java Clients (Forms is a Java Client as well).
    Of course you could also develop your application with BOTH tools and blend them together; for example, a Forms application calling Web Services built in JDeveloper - the options are limitless!! ;o)

  • Blank browser when run oracle form developer 10g

    Hi, all
    I'm newbie on oracle developer.
    I'm using oracle form developer 10g, database also 10g and default browser firefox.
    I made a form n give EMPLOYEE_MDL for the name.
    I got problem when i try to run form, first time shown "*ORACLE FORMS.*" on browser and then the browser getting blank(just white space), the url is:
    http://red-erie:8889/forms/frmservlet
    Hope you can help me.
    Regards n Thanks
    eRie

    It worked for me in Windows 7 Home premium, both in 32 and 64 bit operating systems...
    What I did was,
    After successful instalaltion of developer suite, I've installed latest JRE from www.java.com and configured formsweb.cfg and default.env file.
    I've used IE8 only. I haven't tested on any other browsers.
    Do modify these lines to configure formsweb.cfg to change to JRE from Jinitiator (As said by CraigB )

  • Oracle client and... Forms&reports client?

    Hello, to all; may be you could help me:
    I have installed a Oracle 9.2.0.6 database in PC-1, in PC2 I want to install the oracle client and the forms and report client... (I mean, PC2 is the PC where I will copy my Forms 6i client/server application and the idea is to put an direct access icon on the desktop to a .fmx... to be able run my application)
    I've already insalled the Oracle client, only runtime version (I think 9.2.0.1, which was included in the oracle database installation cd's) but .. I need one more thing.. because I can't execute forms.. I need ifrun60.exe I think.. Where is it? Is there any forms & reports 6i client or similar? or is necessary to install the developer 6i (I don't think so.. but...)
    Thank you very much
    Jose.

    I was reading lots of post and I've seen this two from 2001 related to Forms 5, I suposse they're applicable to Forms 6i?
    Forms Client Runtime : where are you ?
    Enviado: 27-sep-2001 15:34 Responder
    Which version can I install as a pure client version of Forms 6i on a light desktop ? Is there a Forms client runtime like there was with the versions 5.0 and earlier, which we could use just to run a Form, without using any web server, Forms werver, nor using the extra/inter/intra-net ?
    Thanx for your help !!
    Eric.
    re:Forms Client Runtime : where are you ?
    Enviado: 27-sep-2001 17:58 en respuesta a: eheede Responder
    Yes there is. Just choose Form/Report Server installation and choose customs. There you can choose Form or report runtime only (under Forms and Reports tree node) and click on install!
    Remember to choose customs install so that oracle installer bring you the list of the component.
    Do you agree? Could it be just begin the Forms&reports installation and after that.. Chosoe custom.. an choose to install runtimes?
    (I'll try tomorrow and I will say the result here) I hope it works!!
    Thanks

  • Calling Stored procedure in Oracle 11g from Oracle forms developer 6i

    We have Oracle 11g (11.1.0.7.0 ) database (64 bit) installed on Windows Server 2008.
    In this database, we have stored procedure ABC(arg1) which is accesing a table in another instance through DB LINK. If we EXECUTE this procedure from SQL/TOAD. It runs successfully and generates the desired output.
    If we write the contents of the stored procedure in the PROGRAM UNIT / ANY TRIGGER in FORM 6i then also, It runs successfully and generates the desired output.
    It is also mentioned, that if we try to use any table in the same instance (and not through DBLINK) then it works fine.
    However, if we try to call this stored procedure (which is  accesing a table in another instance through DB LINK) from  ORACLE FORMS  6i  in WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger then the FORM BUILDER gets hanged while compiling the form developed in FORMS 6i.
    Please provide a solution to this problem.
    THANKS IN ADVANCE.

    Forms 6i was never meant to run against a 11g database, this was not tested and is also not supported.Well, that is not completely true. Developer 6i is supported against a 11g database, but only for Oracle Apps R11. That means that for most other customers (not Apps) Forms 6i will work against an 11g database. However, only Apps R11 is supported, and patches are only created specifically for Apps. We are also running Forms 6i against an 11g database without (well, minor) problems.
    In this case, you need to find a solution. You can try to put the stored procedure in a package. The package body, with the reference to the remote table, will be hidden from Forms this way.

  • How to install downloaded Oracle Forms Developer/Services 6i Release 2 for linux

    Hi folks,
    I downloaded d2k6irelease2.tar (Oracle Forms Developer/Services 6i Release
    2 for linux) from
    http://otn.oracle.com/software/products/forms/htdocs/linuxsoft.html
    I untar the file on my linux machine however the extracted files don't
    seem to contain any installing program. I didn't find products.jar in the
    files and there are no script to install the software. I read the attached
    doc, however it only assumes that the installation is from CD-ROM. The doc
    doesn't help anything for this downloaded software. I wonder if anyone
    here know how to install it. Thank you so much.
    Best regards,
    Kai Huang

    There should be a text based installer in the /orainst sub-
    directory
    In that directory, just run the script:
    ./orainst
    The installer seems to require libXm.a, which wasn't included in
    my RH 7.1 installation, so I had to install the motif-
    development libraries before the full install would complete
    successfully.

  • Where to buy the study guide for Oracle Forms Developer 9i or 10g

    Hi, I am learning Oracle Forms Developer Build Internet Application. I am comfortable with SQL and PL SQL. I need authenticate Oracle Study Guide for Forms Developer which will help me in learning basics to advance level but I cannot afford the classroom course, it is beyond my pocket capacity. So I would like to know if Oracle sell only the study guides. I inquired at Book Shops in my area but did not get any help.

    I just went through Oracle Press and Sybex websites and it seems none of the books available suits my requirement. Not everyone can afford class room training unless it is fully or partially sponsored by their employers. And I don't understand what people learn in just 5 days.All the information you need to learn the products and pass the certification exams is available in the freely available Oracle documentation. Sure, it's nice to have the Oracle University training or exam prep books which is often specifically focused on the topics on the certification exam, rather than having to combine data from a few different manuals. But there the free Oracle documentation is pretty darned complete and you'll likely learn more from working through that documentation than you would from the Oracle University material just because you've got to do the work to put things together.

  • Oracle Database 11g Administrator or Oracle PL/SQL and Forms Developer?

    Hi,
    I am thinking about doing an Oracle certification course- Oracle Database 11g Administrator or Oracle PL/SQL and Forms Developer.
    Oracle Database 11g OCP and OCM certification requires 3 mandatory training courses to be completed that costs between $1900 and $3250/each. Oracle PL/SQL certication doesn't require any mandatory training course.
    Which one of these would be a good choice? Please advise.
    Thank you,
    Tracy

    Regardless of which path you want to take, in order to get the OCP certification in either the DBA or PL/SQL developer track, you must first obtain the respective OCA certification for that track. I'm assuming that since you are still undecided in which path to take that you haven't started working on either yet. If you look at the pages for the OCA DBA and OCA PL/SQL Developer certs and what is required for each, you'll see that the first block of tests for either certification (the SQL based exams) has the same options (1Z0-007, 1Z0-047, 1Z0-051) and passing one of those SQL based exams gives credit towards obtaining both OCA certifications. That might be a good place to start.
    Doing one of these tests first might give you some extra time to decide which track you want to pursue. But as Justin said, it really depends on what you do (or plan on doing) in your career as to which path might be more beneficial for you.
    As for the OCM level stuff, I wouldn't even think about it until you get the OCP. One step at a time... Same with OCP before OCA. That being said, my suggestions are just that, suggestions. You're free to take any exams/courses in any order, but you won't be able to obtain the certs until you have completed the requirements for each.

  • Unable to run forms in oracle forms developer 10g

    I am using oracle forms developer 10g on oracle application Release 12.
    When i run form i am getting error that weblistener is not running on default port 8888. Then i changed it to 8000. But still i am not able to run the forms.

    Nivas,
    In addition to running OC4J, you must also have your browser configured to use a Java Runtime Environment. The easiest - and preferred - method is to install the Oracle JInitiator as there is not configuration needed other than the installation. You can also use Sun's JRE, but you would have to research how to configure your PC correctly. The other option is to change your FormsWeb.cfg file to use the Browser Native JRE. Edit the formsweb.cfg file and find the IE= directive. The Default is IE=jinitiator. Change this to IE=Native, save your changes and you are done. This is not the preferred solution, but it does work.

    Hi,
    First use gunzip utility to unzip .gz file. Once you are done, you will get a .tar file. Use tar -xvf to untar the file to a directory. It is similar to unzip.

    Hello,
    I have a couple of questions. I just downloaded the Oracle9iAS
    Forms Services and Oracle Forms Developer 6i Release 2 for NT.
    Is it a trial version? Does it expire after a certain time. Or
    is it a limited feature version. I couldn't find any info about
    this on the Oracle website.
    Regards,

    AS with all the downloads on otn this is a full version with no
    time limit. But you are under the OTN license which says that
    you have to purchase the product if you are developing
    production applications with it. Its free for evaluation and
    personal education purposes.
