Performance of WEB enabling ( Converting to Oracle 8i and Forms 6i)

We are working on a project to convert a forms 4.5 and Oracle 7.3.4 application to a web based app ( Oracle 8i and Forms 6i). I want to know if there will be a performance hit (improve or decrease) as a result of this.
Please help

Satish - concerned about your statement that you have not used in in production but you think its not the good. If you can quantify your statement I will address is.
As for Bobs points - check out http://forums.oracle.com/forums/message.jsp?id=836060
This probably addresses Bobs concerns.
If you are concerned - take a look at the testimonials. Go to otn.oracle.com/products/forms and click on the Testimonials link.
Believe it or not we actually have people who are running FASTER on the Web - How can that be!!! - well the reason is that the have uses on slow links - when running client server there database access is across these links and since they had database intensive application they found it could be slow. On the web the data trasfer between the app server and the database was on a fast link and the client (who are still on the slow link) are getting only screen draw information which is alot less than the database traffic.
Hope this helps

Is there any difference in oracle database and forms database

i want to know is there any difference in oracle database and forms 6i database
,if i import some file through oracle database then same data will exist in forms database or not
thanks

Oracle Forms is a Rapid Application Development (RAD) tool not a database. With Forms, you connect to an Oracle database to query and display data from the database as well as insert new or update existing data. Consequently, if exists in the database - you should be able to display it in a Form.

I want to install Oracle 8i and forms 6i on xp

I want to install Oracle 8i and forms 6i on xp. Kindly give me a complete step by step file, so that i can know before installation......
Thanks

Get into a time machine and go back about 20 years. ;-)
You are asking about something hopefully no one has done for a decade ... installing desupported software on a desupported database on a desupported operating system on, perhaps, some antique server.
Perhaps someone else kept their notes from back in the Jurassic period but mine were in a recycle bin many many years ago.
If you really wish to do this I suspect you are going to be stuck doing it the way we did back then ... read the docs accompanying the installation files.

Oracle 10gR2 and Forms 6i Combination

One of my company's division after suffering skill gap for many years decided finally to turn their system under my care. This means more work for me but it would be a welcome change since it will give back some exposure from my past life using SQLForms, CDE and Designer 2000 etc.
As a prerequisite I got involved to provide technical direction to a project to "modernize" their system with the "almost" current version that is still supported or "almost" supported by Oracle.
My question is this : ( In reference to Note 229929.1 Stating that Oracle 10GR2 and Form 6i combo is not supported as a combination ( because Form 6i is already desupported ) Is there anyone here have that combination running on production ?
Was there any problem ?
At the back of my mind I am very confident that I can make this combination work .
It would be useful if someone can confirm this combo. (ie 10gR2 and Forms 6i).
You may ask "Why not go with the latest ? ".This was for many reasons. I don't want to introduce shocking changes to the developers (they are already behind on technology and skillset), also Forms 6i is still Client-server which where they want to remain at the moment. The project was given a very short time to convert the system.
Introducing a new architecture will definitely introduce more task than these guys can handle in such short period.
Feedback for any real life experience on this combo is appreciated .
Thanks in advance.

Oracle Development Suite ( Form Builder + Report Builer ) vs Toad

Hi guys
I a beginner in oracle world and I would like to ask >>>
1- What is the difference between toad and Oracle development suite and which one is better?
2- Could toad be used to create .fmb files ? What is the extension format of toad forms if they exist ?
According to this thread >>>
Diff between Oracle Forms and Toad
Toad cannot be used to create input forms
on the other hand , my friend told me that Toad can be used to fully control your database and development >>> It involves
Objects Creation and management ( Tables -- Indexes ... etc)
Form Creation
Report Creation
all in one application
This thread posing is repeated three times !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know how this happened !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry for inconvenience
Edited by: user2393672 on Sep 10, 2011 4:47 PM

1) toad is only for querying/doing dml against the database
2) form is for having the screen; report for the output of the system. so toad is totally different from form & report
Thanks & Best Regards

Migration MS ACCESS FORMS and Reports to Oracle (Java or Forms or Reports)

Hello ,
can someone tell me, how i can migrate a whole MS ACCESS 2000 mdb (with forms and Reports) to Oracle.
I think i have first migrate the Access DB with the OMWB to Oracle and in the next Step to convert the VBA Code to JAVA or Forms9i.
BUT Is there a tool available for Migrating VBA code like the OMWB ????

I don't know if this is an obvious question, but do you have MS Access 2k installed on the machine you are trying to run this from? I'm assuming yes.
If you do and there is still a problem, you should log a ticket for support who will take your mdb and help out with the issue for you.
Many thanks

Oracle Express and forms/reports

Hi there
If we install Oracle Express database on a remote site with single server can we run Oracle forms/reports on the same server that will connect to the Oracle Express database ?

Yes you can. Just create the required Oracle Net conntections and use it in your froms and reports. Ensure that the listener is running.

Where can i download Oracle 8 and Forms/Reports 6/6i ?

So that we may better diagnose DOWNLOAD problems, please provide the following information.
- Server name
- Filename
- Date/Time
- Browser + Version Explorer 6
- O/S + Version XP Proffesional
- Error Msg

It is the same file, download it and when you run the installer it will ask you if you are installing th eclient or the server.

Password expirtation in Oracle 8i and Forms 6i - URGENT please.

Hi,
We are trying to implement password security features available in Oracle 8i.
We created the profile, and assigned it to a user. The user's password will expire soon.
If I login as that user to through SQL+, user gets an ORA-28001 error message "the account will expire soon, change your password now" and is able to login to the database still. However if I try to logon as that user through Forms Builder or Forms runtime, the same error message comes up, but the user does not get connected. The Logon screen stays there and the user can not do anything. How can we make it work the same was as it does in SQL+? (To give the error and still allow the user to log in to the database so that they can change their password).
Thank you very much for any help.

hI,
I have the problem backward!
I created a profile then assigned it to the user, then I launched the apps thr the browser, it worked prompting the message "...password will expire in 3 days..."
Now I reassigned the Default profile back to the user which does not expire the password, launched the apps again it still prompted that password warning message! I even deleted the profile that was first created, still got the warning.
I tried to do it alter user in SqlPlus but not able to connect to database using the same System account as Sysdba (used to connect in Enterprise Console successfully), received error :Insufficient Privileges.
What is wrong ? Thanks.

Personal Oracle 8i and forms 6

I have installed Personal Oracle 8i (8.1.7) on my lap top. Then I installed Forms 6i.
(Pls Note : Forms Installed in another Oracle Home)
Now The Problem :-
When I try to connect forms to the DB I get the following error message.
ORA:12154: TNS could not resolve service name.
How can I correct this problem?
Any help will be much appreciated.
p.s. Where can I download a copy of forms 6i.

Hey Arunraj,
In this case you want to open the tnsnames.ora file in the db home (found in something like c:\oracle\ora81\network\admin) with notepad (be sure "Always open this file type w/ this app." is deselected). Your looking for the info that was created when you installed and created your db. It'll look something like:
SULLIVAN.WORLD =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = c1862668-a)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = sullivan.world)
Copy and paste this into the tnsnames.ora file found in your Forms home. Anytime you create a new db and need forms to find it you can do this.
Bill
